description: The last decade has seen an enormous increase of activity in the field of gravitational lensing, mainly driven by improvements of observational capabilities. I will review the basics of gravitational lens theory, just enough to understand the rest of this contribution, and will then concentrate on several of the main applications in cosmology. Cluster lensing, and weak lensing, will constitute the main part of this review.

description: We have analyzed the evolution of the spectral hardness parameter Epk as a function of fluence in gamma-ray bursts. We fit 41 pulses within 26 bursts with the trend reported by Liang & Kargatis (1996) which found that Epk decays exponentially with respect to photon fluence. We also fit these pulses with a slight modification of this trend, where Epk decays linearly with energy fluence. In both cases, we found the set of 41 pulses to be consistent with the trend. For the latter trend, which we believe to be more physical, the distribution of the decay constant is roughly log-normal, with a mean of 1.75 +/- 0.07 and a FWHM of 1.0 +/- 0.1. Regarding an earlier reported invariance in the decay constant among different pulses in a single burst, we found probabilities of 0.49 to 0.84 (depending on the test used) that such invariance would occur by coincidence, most likely due to the narrow distribution of decay constant values among pulses.

description: The Unruh effect, predicting a thermal reservoir for accelerating systems, calls for a more refined understanding of measurement processes involving quantum systems as thermometers. Conventional models fail to account for the inherent spatial extent of the thermometer, neglecting the complexities associated with accelerated extended quantum systems. Our work builds upon the seminal work of Bell, Hughes, and Leinaas. We propose a refined thermometer model incorporating a spin-1/2 particle where the spin acts as a temperature indicator. This refined model demonstrates the ability to effectively measure the temperature under specific, realistic conditions, providing a unique value that essentially averages the local Unruh temperatures throughout the extended quantum system acting as the thermometer.

Phase behaviour, film formation and industrial applications of model salt–humectant–water mixtures
Creators: name: Ferretti, Giulia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: When mixtures composed of non-volatile solutes and a solvent dry into thin films, a range of processes occur during the film formation, affecting the resulting film’s functionality. In the case of aqueous systems, water loss or uptake is particularly affected by temperature and relative humidity, altering the film’s physical properties (e.g. rheo-mechanical, permeability, surface topography) as it dries or swells in response to the environment. Understanding these processes is thus essential to a range of applications in the packaging and consumer goods industries. A model ternary system comprising an inorganic salt (aluminium chlorohydrate) and a humectant (glycerol), in water, was studied due to its hygroscopic behaviour and interesting water management properties. This mixture can be thought of as a 'minimal' antiperspirant in the context of personal care. The film formation parameter space was systematically mapped out to gain a deep understanding into the relationship between composition, relative humidity, phase behaviour, drying/swelling kinetics and rheo-mechanical properties. Spectroscopy, gravimetric, dynamic vapour sorption, x-ray diffraction, calorimetry, viscometry and adhesion measurements were employed throughout the film drying pathway. The ‘strain-induced elastic buckling instability for mechanical measurements’ method was adapted for time-resolved measurements of thin drying films’ mechanical properties. A range of concentration-dependent morphologies were found and sinusoidal wrinkling was exploited to calculate the evolving film modulus, with results validated against nanoindentation measurements. Equilibrium film compositions, drying/swelling kinetics and film rheo-mechanical properties were found to be non-monotonic with glycerol content, which was rationalised in terms of the competitive binding of water and glycerol to aluminium chlorohydrate and the overall miscibility and glass formation within the ternary system. Importantly, water sorption/desorption was shown to be fully reversible. In order to improve our predictive ability, a ‘minimal mathematical model’ was developed, capturing the key drying stages and non-monotonic behaviour of the system, delivering characteristic drying timescales and skin formation indications. Overall, this work provides a holistic thermodynamic and non-equilibrium understanding of the behaviour and response of this important class of salt-rich, glass forming films.
Mineral indicators of porphyry Cu fertility
Creators: name: Loader, Matthew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: ‘Fertile’ magmas which generate metal-rich porphyry Cu deposits are thought to form by similar processes to normal ‘barren’ arc magmas which are unrelated to mineralisation. However, fertile magmas contain distinctive trace element signatures, which highlight the processes by which they achieved high ore-forming potential. These ‘indicators of fertility’ make potentially useful tools to be used in the exploration of porphyry systems and may be amplified in minerals within these rocks. Intrusive rocks were collected from the Resolution and Oyu Tolgoi porphyry Cu deposits. A combination of whole rock geochemistry, and trace element analyses of apatite and zircon were carried out, and these data were compared to literature data for barren rocks. Rocks from both systems indicators of fertility, some of which (especially Sr/Y) were found to be susceptible to feldspar-destructive hydrothermal alteration. The presence of these anomalies (e.g. La/Yb, Eu/Eu*, V/Sc) is indicative of garnet control on deep crustal fractionation, which may occur due to loaclised increases in melt H2O. Zircons from Oyu Tolgoi show that Eu/Eu* and Ce4+/Ce3+ ratios in zircon were strongly controlled by the co-crystallisation of titanite, limiting their utility as measures of redox. Ce/Ce* may provide a better measure of melt redox in zircon, but is difficult to measure. Eu/Eu* may still be useful for distinguishing barren and fertile systems. Igneous apatite has high Sr and Eu/Eu* compared to barren systems. Hydrothermal apatite from a number of porphyry systems were found to contain uniquely high Fe, Mn, Pb, Sr, and Eu/Eu*, which possibly relate to their precipitation from metal rich brines. The magnitude of Mn enrichment may also be sensitive to bulk rock Cu content. These results highlight the potential of apatite and zircon as mineral indicators of porphyry fertility, and recommendations are made for how they may be used in exploration.

description: We report results from the spectral analysis of pointed ROSAT PSPC observations of six PG quasars and the weak-bump quasar PHL 1657. Disregarding other frequency bands, the PSPC data are represented best by simple power-law source spectra ($dN/dE \propto E^Γ$) with a slope $Γ= -2.5\pm 0.4$ and do not show evidence for a more complex structure. However, within the limits given by statistics and systematical errors, a superposition of two power-law spectra, which allows a connection to the observed UV fluxes and to the generally flatter hard-X-ray spectra observed by EXOSAT and GINGA, is found to be indistinguishable from a simple power-law in the PSPC energy band. For the PG quasars, a direct connection to the observed UV flux is obtained with a steep soft-X-ray slope $Γ_{sx}= -3.1\pm 0.3$, fixing the hard-X-ray slope. For PHL 1657, the soft-X-ray spectrum seen by ROSAT is much steeper than the GINGA spectrum, rising towards the EUV in $νF_ν$, and it can not be extrapolated down to meet the exceptionally weak UV flux. A Wien-shaped thermal UV/soft-X-ray bump with a temperature of $\sim $50\,eV connects the UV and soft-X-ray spectra in all cases, but gives only a poor representation of the high signal-to-noise PSPC spectra. We discuss implications of our results for models of the X-ray emission in quasars.

Manipulating cell trafficking by bacterial effector proteins
Creators: name: Furniss, Robert Christopher David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: The enteric pathogens Enteropathogenic and Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EPEC/EHEC) subvert a range of fundamental host cell processes to establish infection in the gut lumen and cause disease. This manipulation is achieved through injection of a suite of bacterial effector proteins into infected host cells via a Type 3 Secretion System. However, the precise contribution of many of these effectors to EPEC/EHEC infection remains to be determined. EspG is a highly conserved effector protein, found across EPEC and EHEC strains, and has been shown to have pleiotropic effects in infected cells. Here we report that EspG manipulates host protein trafficking through interaction with the small GTPases ARF6 and Rab35. EspG directly binds GTP-ARF6, which recruits EspG to endosomal structures in EHEC infected cells. EspG subsequently interacts with Rab35 and causes intracellular accumulation of the Transferrin Receptor, an archetypal host recycling cargo. Investigation of other EspG-family members, including the homolog VirA from the intracellular pathogen Shigella flexneri, reveals that EspG is capable of complementing an S.flexneri ∆virA mutant, and that EspG’s from different AE pathogens may have altered interactions with ARF6 during infection. Finally, using quantitative cell surface proteomics we reveal that EspG manipulates the cell surface levels of a range of different host proteins and confirm that the recycling population of the cell surface glycoprotein Podocalyxin is reduced at the cell surface in an EspG-dependent manner. These observations may explain the range of seemingly disparate activities previously attributed to EspG and to the best of our knowledge represent the first report of global manipulation of the host cell surface proteome by a bacterial pathogen.

description: Gravitational interaction of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons with matter perturbations present along the line-of-sight to the surface of last scattering modifies the shape of the CMB anisotropy power spectrum. Here I focus on (linear) integrated Sachs-Wolfe and (non-linear) gravitational lensing effects and discuss the detectability of the resulting distortions and their possible consequences for the CMB-based estimation of cosmological parameters. Specifically, I discuss if any of those effects may allow us to use CMB experiments to put independent constraints on the curvature of the universe and the cosmological constant, i.e. breaking the so-called geometrical degeneracy in CMB parameter estimation discussed by Bond, Efstathiou and Tegmark (1997) and Zaldarriaga, Spergel and Seljak (1997). I address that issue using the Fisher matrix approach and show that gravitational lensing of the CMB temperature and polarisation patterns might be detectable by the Planck Surveyor satellite, leading to useful independent and precise constraints on the cosmological constant and spatial curvature. The integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect though bound to restrict those parameters only very weakly still may set constraints more stringent than those currently available.

Integration and visualisation of plant connectivity in process operations
Creators: name: Dorantes Romero, David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Tight coupling and complexity in modern process plants make it difficult to obtain a clear and accurate assessment of the state of the process, especially when disturbances occur. Highly interconnected plants are challenging to analyse as disturbances propagate plant-wide over the process. Tasks such as troubleshooting, maintenance planning and diagnosis of abnormalities become more diffcult in the presence of unobserved dependencies between plant components. In order to support engineers to better understand the connectivity among plant items, new methods are required for modelling and visualising plant connectivity information. The methods proposed in this thesis address physical connectivity (piping and instrumentation), and also include the signals, the electrical sub-system that powers the plant and the logical connections (cause-and-effect). The reason is that electrical and utility systems are important propagation routes for the effects of process disturbances. The research reported in this thesis includes the review of technologies for data mapping and analysis, methods for modelling and integrating connectivity, and novel algorithms for parsing, linking and visualising plant connectivity models. The thesis presents the software prototype Topoviz, designed to achieve the research objectives of this project. The development of Topoviz was driven by requirements generated from site-visits and interviews with subject matter experts in the eld of plant operations. Novel contributions to the research eld include the proposal of a graph database using the property-graph model. Several algorithms were developed and tested, including novel algorithms for creating plant connectivity networks from engineering documents. These networks can be analysed to gain insights about how the di erent sub-systems in the plant could a ect each other in case of disturbances. For the rst time, the integration of connectivity information coming from the process and electrical systems was achieved. The research in this thesis shows successful results and visible advantages compared to previous methods for analysing plant connectivity information.
Correlated errors in Hipparcos parallaxes towards the Pleiades and the Hyades

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We show that the errors in the Hipparcos parallaxes towards the Pleiades and the Hyades open clusters are spatially correlated over angular scales of 2 to 3 deg, with an amplitude of up to 2 mas. This correlation is stronger than expected based on the analysis of the Hipparcos catalog. We predict the parallaxes of individual cluster members, pi_pm, from their Hipparcos proper motions, assuming that all cluster members have the same space velocity. We compare pi_pm with their Hipparcos parallaxes, pi_Hip, and find that there are significant spatial correlations in pi_Hip. We derive a distance modulus to the Pleiades of 5.58 +- 0.18 mag using the radial-velocity gradient method. This value, agrees very well with the distance modulus of 5.60 +- 0.04 mag determined using the main-sequence fitting technique, compared with the value of 5.33 +- 0.06 inferred from the average of the Hipparcos parallaxes of the Pleiades members. We show that the difference between the main-sequence fitting distance and the Hipparcos parallax distance can arise from spatially correlated errors in the Hipparcos parallaxes of individual Pleiades members. Although the Hipparcos parallax errors towards the Hyades are spatially correlated in a manner similar to those of the Pleiades, the center of the Hyades is located on a node of this spatial structure. Therefore, the parallax errors cancel out when the average distance is estimated, leading to a mean Hyades distance modulus that agrees with the pre-Hipparcos value. We speculate that these spatial correlations are also responsible for the discrepant distances that are inferred using the mean Hipparcos parallaxes to some open clusters. Finally, we note that our conclusions are based on a purely geometric method and do not rely on any models of stellar isochrones.

A Model of the Double Magnetic Cycle of the Sun
Creators: name: Benevolenskaya, E. E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been argued that the solar magnetic cycle consists of two main periodic components: a low-frequency component (Hale's 22-year cycle) and a high-frequency component (quasi-biennial cycle). The existence of the double magnetic cycle on the Sun is confirmed using Stanford, Mount Wilson and Kitt Peak magnetograph data from 1976 to 1996 (solar cycles 21 and 22). In the frame of the Parker's dynamo theory a model of the double magnetic cycle is presented. This model is based on the idea of two dynamo sources separated in space. The first source of the dynamo action is located near the bottom of the convection zone, and the second operates near the top. The model is formulated in terms of two coupled systems of non-linear differential equations. It is demonstrated that in the case of weak interaction between the two dynamo sources the basic features of the double magnetic cycle such as existence of two component and observed temporal variations of high-frequency component can be reproduced.

description: In this work, we present a parametric finite element approximation of two-phase Navier-Stokes flow with viscoelasticity. The free boundary problem is given by the viscoelastic Navier-Stokes equations in the two fluid phases, connected by jump conditions across the interface. The elasticity in the fluids is characterised using the Oldroyd-B model with possible stress diffusion. The model was originally introduced to approximate fluid-structure interaction problems between an incompressible Newtonian fluid and a hyperelastic neo-Hookean solid, which are possible limit cases of the model. We approximate a variational formulation of the model with an unfitted finite element method that uses piecewise linear parametric finite elements. The two-phase Navier-Stokes-Oldroyd-B system in the bulk regions is discretised in a way that guarantees unconditional solvability and stability for the coupled bulk-interface system. Good volume conservation properties for the two phases are observed in the case where the pressure approximation space is enriched with the help of an XFEM function. We show the applicability of our method with some numerical results.

As a first use of this database, we have conducted a multicolor survey for quasars. We discuss various methods of selecting outliers in different color-color diagrams and multicolor space that have been used to identify quasars at all redshifts from their colors alone. We discuss the initial results of our program of spectroscopic identification which has so far resulted in the identification of over forty faint quasars, including one at z$>$4, a similar number of compact narrow-emission-line galaxies, and a number of unusual and potentially interesting stars. We use these spectroscopic results, along with extensive simulations of quasar spectra, to study the efficiency of our candidate selection procedures. Finally, we compare the number counts of our quasars and quasar candidates to the expected numbers based on previous studies of the quasar luminosity function. The agreement of our observations with these expectations is good in most cases. However, we do estimate that our survey contains more quasars with B$$3 quasars than expected from the results of Warren, Hewett, \& Osmer (1994), both at the 3$σ$\ level. Additional spectroscopic observations will be required to confirm or refute these excesses.

description: We have studied the physical conditions in the central 300 pc of the proto-typical starburst galaxy NGC 7714. Our analysis is based on ultraviolet spectroscopy with the HST+GHRS and ground-based optical observations.The data are interpreted using evolutionary models optimized for young starburst regions. The massive stellar population is derived in a self-consistent way using the continuum and stellar absorption lines in the ultraviolet and the nebular emission line optical spectrum. The central starburst has an age of about 4.5 Myr, with little evidence for an age spread. Wolf-Rayet features at the ultraviolet indicates a stellar population of $\sim$ 2000 Wolf-Rayet stars. The overall properties of the newly formed stars are quite similar to those derived, e.g., in 30 Doradus. A standard Salpeter IMF is consistent with all observational constraints. We find evidence for spatial structure within the central 300 pc sampled. Therefore it is unlikely that the nucleus of NGC 7714 hosts a single star cluster exceeding the properties of other known clusters. Contrary to previous suggestions, we find no evidence for a nuclear supernova rate that would significantly exceed the total disk-integrated rate. About one supernova event per century is predicted.

The role of tenascin-C in dendritic cell functions and adaptive immunity in rheumatoid arthritis
Creators: name: Ruhmann, Michaela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovium. Both innate and adaptive immunity play a role in driving inflammation in RA, in particular, Th1 and Th17 cells are implicated in disease pathogenesis. Currently available RA treatments are not effective in a relatively large subset of RA patients, therefore new therapeutic strategies have to be found. Our group found that the extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin-C is an endogenous activator of Toll-like receptor 4 that induces cytokine synthesis in human synovial fibroblasts and macrophages. Elevated levels of tenascin-C are found in the RA joint, mainly produced by myeloid cells. Activated human dendritic cells (DCs) express high levels of tenascin-C. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine if tenascin-C plays a role in DC function and adaptive immunity in RA. I found that murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) express high levels of tenascin-C upon plating. I showed that BMDCs from tenascin-C null mice secrete significantly lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNFα, IL-6, KC and IP-10, upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation than BMDCs from wild-type mice. I demonstrated that tenascin-C promotes BMDC cytokine synthesis on a post-transcriptional level. BMDCs from tenascin-C null mice also had a defect in Th17 cell polarization. In contrast, Th1, Th2 or Treg cell polarization was not impaired in BMDCs from tenascin-C null mice. Furthermore, I showed that tenascin-C null mice exhibit ablated expression levels of pro-inflammatory and Th17-related cytokines, including IL-17, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-23, in the joint during experimental arthritis, indicating that tenascin-C promotes a local cytokine environment favourable to Th17 differentiation. Together, my data indicate that tenascin-C serves as an important link between innate and adaptive immunity and that it plays a role in driving inflammation and adaptive immunity in erosive joint disease. Hence, tenascin-C may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of RA.

Hyper-encapsulation and capsule regulation in Group A Streptococcus
Creators: name: Lynskey, Nicola Nora
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Group A streptococcal (GAS) isolates of serotype M18 are widely known to exhibit a hyper-mucoid (highly-encapsulated) phenotype, but the mechanism behind the unusual colony morphology has never been elucidated. Whilst all serotypes of this important human pathogen produce differentia l amounts of the capsular polysaccharide M18 strains are unique. The M18 serotype is strongly associated with pharyngitis and the non-suppurative immune sequelae rheumatic fever, however the mechanism behind this disease association is unknown. This project set out to address the genetic mechanism by which capsule production is regulated in GAS and to determine the underlying cause of M18 mucoidy. Here we identify a novel and naturally-occurring serotype M18-specific truncation in the regulatory protein RocA, known to act on the streptococcal two-component regulatory system, CovR/S and demonstrate its role in a wider range of pathways by proteomic analysis. The serotype M18 RocA truncation is demonstrated to be both necessary and sufficient to induce the hyper-encapsulated phenotype characteristic of serotype M18 strains. Further, we demonstrate that reduction of capsule synthesis following replacement of truncated RocA with a full-length version of the protein abrogates capsule over-production and reverses the characteristic longevity of carriage associated with M18 strains. The M18 capsule is demonstrated to induce a pro-inflammatory response in vivo following colonisation, with relevance to the onset of rheumatic fever. Proteomic analysis highlights a potential role for RocA in metabolism homeostasis confirming the importance of this regulatory protein in Group A streptococcal virulence.

description: This study explores heat transfer mechanisms in heat pipes with sub-critical nanopores using coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations, aiming to enhance thermal management in nanoscale applications. With the increasing need for efficient cooling solutions in microelectronics and high-performance computing, nanoporous heat pipes have gained attention due to their high thermal conductivity and passive operation. This research evaluates the effects of pore size, temperature gradients, and water fill ratios on the heat transfer efficiency of heat pipes with 2 nm and 3 nm diameter nanopores. The results indicate that larger temperature gradients significantly enhance heat transfer rates, while filled heat pipes perform better than medium-filled ones, primarily due to more effective phase change and fluid flow dynamics. Notably, the 2 nm filled models show improved performance over the 3 nm models, suggesting an optimal balance between capillary action and fluid resistance at smaller pore sizes. The study also reveals that in sub-critical nanopores, surface-driven flows are more effective than traditional wicking, underscoring the role of surface interactions in optimizing heat transfer. These findings provide critical insights for designing and optimizing nanoporous heat pipes, offering practical guidance for developing more efficient thermal management systems in electronics cooling and other applications.

description: Cosmological models with cosmic string and texture seeded universes predict a present abundance of very dense clumps of Cold Dark Matter particles. Their crossing through the solar system would induce a non-negligible amount of radiation damage to all living tissue; the severity of such an episode is assessed. The estimated frequency of these crossings agrees with the apparent periodicity of the paleontological record of biological extinctions. (Phys. Lett. B, in press)

description: Large language model (LLM) serving is becoming an increasingly critical workload for cloud providers. Existing LLM serving systems focus on interactive requests, such as chatbots and coding assistants, with tight latency SLO requirements. However, when such systems execute batch requests that have relaxed SLOs along with interactive requests, it leads to poor multiplexing and inefficient resource utilization. To address these challenges, we propose QLM, a queue management system for LLM serving. QLM maintains batch and interactive requests across different models and SLOs in a request queue. Optimal ordering of the request queue is critical to maintain SLOs while ensuring high resource utilization. To generate this optimal ordering, QLM uses a Request Waiting Time (RWT) Estimator that estimates the waiting times for requests in the request queue. These estimates are used by a global scheduler to orchestrate LLM Serving Operations (LSOs) such as request pulling, request eviction, load balancing, and model swapping. Evaluation on heterogeneous GPU devices and models with real-world LLM serving dataset shows that QLM improves SLO attainment by 40-90% and throughput by 20-400% while maintaining or improving device utilization compared to other state-of-the-art LLM serving systems. QLM's evaluation is based on the production requirements of a cloud provider. QLM is publicly available at https://www.github.com/QLM-project/QLM.
Reconstructing Positions \& Peculiar Velocities of Galaxy Clusters within 25000 km/sec: The Bulk Velocity

description: Using a dynamical 3-D reconstruction procedure we estimate the peculiar velocities of $R\ge0$ Abell/ACO galaxy clusters from their measured redshift within 25000 km/sec. The reconstruction algorithm relies on the linear gravitational instability hypothesis, assumes linear biasing and requires an input value of the cluster $β$-parameter ($β_c \equiv Ω_{\circ}^{0.6}/b_c$), which we estimated in Branchini \& Plionis (1995) to be $β_c\simeq 0.21$. The resulting cluster velocity field is dominated by a large scale streaming motion along the Perseus Pisces--Great Attractor base-line directed towards the Shapley concentration, in qualitative agreement with the galaxy velocity field on smaller scales. Fitting the predicted cluster peculiar velocities to a dipole term, in the local group frame and within a distance of $\sim 18000$ km/sec, we recover extremely well both the local group velocity and direction, in disagreement with the Lauer \& Postman (1994) observation. However, we find a $\sim 6\%$ probability that their observed velocity field could be a realization of our corresponding one, if the latter is convolved with their large distance dependent errors. Our predicted cluster bulk velocity amplitude agrees well with that deduced by the POTENT and the da Costa et al. (1995) analyses of observed galaxy motions at $\sim 5000 - 6000$ km/sec; it decreases thereafter while at the Lauer \& Postman limiting depth ($\sim 15000$ km/sec) its amplitude is $\sim 150$ km/sec, in comfortable agreement with most cosmological models.
