description: We investigate heat engines whose working substance is made of two coupled qubits performing a generalised Otto cycle by varying their applied magnetic field or their interaction strength during the compression and expansion strokes. During the heating and cooling strokes, the two qubits are coupled to local and common environments that are not necessarily at equilibrium. We find instances of quantum engines coupled to non equilibrium common environments exhibiting non-trivial connections to quantum correlations as witnessed by a monotonic dependence of the work produced on quantum discord and entanglement.

A framework to assess the ability of automation to deliver capacity targets in European airspace
Creators: name: Tobaruela Arnedo, Gonzalo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The maximum number of flights that the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system can safely and efficiently control over a period of time i.e. airspace capacity, has become a limitation over the last decade, due to a rapid increase in air traffic activity. Therefore, the ATM system in developed countries is undergoing a series of modernisation initiatives to ensure that the future ATM system is able to provide sufficient capacity to safely meet future air traffic demand. As a result, there is a need to assess if the proposed changes can effectively be translated into the desired increase in capacity. This thesis addresses this issue by developing an en-route airspace capacity estimation framework, able to measure the impact of future ATM system modernisation deployments on airspace capacity. In order to do this, it identifies the key airspace capacity drivers for current and future operations, focussing on three areas: air traffic controller workload, air traffic predictability and Air Traffic Control (ATC) centre cost-efficiency. In each of the three framework areas, the research develops methodologies that overcome the deficiencies of existing capacity estimation techniques. This leads to an innovative multi-dimensional approach to airspace capacity estimation, able to reflect the different relationships of airspace capacity with the framework areas. The framework quantifies the relationship between the ATC centre planning process accuracy and airspace capacity. It estimates the effect of increased predictability on airspace capacity through the performance of the Airspace Management and Air Traffic Flow & Capacity Management functions. Finally, it computes air traffic controller workload with considerable accuracy (up to 80% of the actual workload) during medium-low workload scenarios and reflects the workload trend (Spearman’s rank coefficient = 0.72) during high workload scenarios.
Proposal for frequency-selective photodetector based on the resonant photon drag effect in a condensate of indirect excitons

description: We present a microscopic theory of a photon drag effect that appears in a Bose-Einstein condensate of neutral particles, considering indirect excitons in a double quantum well nanostructure under the action of a circularly polarized electromagnetic field. It is shown that the dynamical polarization of excitons results in a resonant behavior of the exciton photon drag flux when the frequency of light is close to the gap between two energy levels of internal exciton motion. Specifically, we consider the ground and first excited energy states characterized by the angular momentum difference $\pm 1$, and thus, the helicity of light matters. We show that the resulting drag current is caused by both Bose-condensed particles and the particles in the normal state. As a result, the total current represents a superposition of thresholdlike and resonant contributions, - property, which can be used in frequency-selective photodetection.

description: We study the effects of channel coupling in the excitation dynamics of giant resonances in relativistic heavy ions collisions. For this purpose, we use a semiclassical approximation to the Coupled-Channels problem and separate the Coulomb and the nuclear parts of the coupling into their main multipole components. In order to assess the importance of multi-step processes, we neglect the resonance widths and solve the set of coupled equations exactly. Finite widths are then considered. In this case, we handle the coupling of the ground state with the dominant Giant Dipole Resonance exactly and study the excitation of the remaining resonances within the Coupled-Channels Born Approximation. A comparison with recent experimental data is made.

Development of 3D-STED microscopy and its application to luminescent defects in diamond, nanoparticles and biological samples
Creators: name: Sinclair, Hugo Graeme
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The work presented in this thesis follows two main branches. The first aims to develop instrumentation for 3D-STED microscopy and to apply it to the study of bulk diamond, nanoparticles and biological samples. The second aims to evaluate the application of fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy techniques to the study of luminescent defects in diamond. Building on previous work in the Photonics Group at Imperial College London, spatial light modulator (SLM) technology was incorporated into a STED system in a novel configuration to provide a robust and convenient solution for 3D-STED microscopy. This system was applied to the first reported super-resolution imaging of the interaction between two cells in their natural state. The system was further applied to STED imaging of nitrogen vacancy centres in bulk diamond and to a proof of principle experiment for novel plasmon-assisted labels for STED microscopy. The effects of wavefront aberration on STED microscopy were investigated and a predictive correction philosophy was developed based on spherical aberration induced by a refractive index mismatch. The flexibility offered by the SLM technology was taken advantage of to demonstrate recovery of STED imaging quality in glycerol and bulk diamond by active correction of spherical aberration experienced by the depletion point spread function. Confocal intensity imaging, confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and multispectral fluorescence lifetime measurement were applied to the imaging of fluorescent defects in bulk diamond. It was demonstrated that FLIM can provide information that is complimentary to intensity imaging in diamond and that it is possible to spectrally distinguish defects in diamond while simultaneously measuring their lifetime using multispectral lifetime measurement methods. This thesis also presents the ongoing development of a system for STED of live samples that express green fluorescent protein (GFP).

description: Despite more than 30 years of searches, the compact object in Supernova (SN) 1987A has not yet been detected. We present new limits on the compact object in SN 1987A using millimeter, near-infrared, optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray observations from ALMA, VLT, HST, and Chandra. The limits are approximately 0.1 mJy ($0.1\times 10^{-26}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ Hz$^{-1}$) at 213 GHz, 1 Lsun ($6\times 10^{-29}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ Hz$^{-1}$) in optical if our line-of-sight is free of ejecta dust, and $10^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$ ($2\times 10^{-30}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ Hz$^{-1}$) in 2-10 keV X-rays. Our X-ray limits are an order of magnitude less constraining than previous limits because we use a more realistic ejecta absorption model based on three-dimensional neutrino-driven SN explosion models (presented in an accompanying article). The allowed bolometric luminosity of the compact object is 22 Lsun if our line-of-sight is free of ejecta dust, or 138 Lsun if dust-obscured. Depending on assumptions, these values limit the effective temperature of a neutron star to <4-8 MK and do not exclude models, which typically are in the range 3-4 MK. For the simplest accretion model, the accretion rate for an efficiency $η$ is limited to $< 10^{-11} η^{-1}$ Msun yr$^{-1}$, which excludes most predictions. For pulsar activity modeled by a rotating magnetic dipole in vacuum, the limit on the magnetic field strength ($B$) for a given spin period ($P$) is $B < 10^{14} P^2$ G s$^{-2}$. By combining information about radiation reprocessing and geometry, it is likely that the compact object is a dust-obscured thermally-emitting neutron star, which may appear as a region of higher-temperature ejecta dust emission.

Calculating derivatives within quantum Monte Carlo
Creators: name: Poole, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are powerful, stochastic techniques for computing the properties of interacting electrons and nuclei with an accuracy comparable to the standard post-Hartree--Fock methods of quantum chemistry. Whilst the favourable scaling of QMC methods enables a quantum, many-body treatment of much larger systems, the lack of accurate and efficient total energy derivatives, required to compute atomic forces, has hindered their widespread adoption. The work contained within this thesis provides an efficient procedure for calculating exact derivatives of QMC results. This procedure uses the programming technique of algorithmic differentiation (AD), which allows access to the derivatives of a computed function by applying chain rule differentiation to the underlying source code. However, this thesis shows that a straightforward differentiation of a stochastic function fails to capture the important contribution to the derivative from probabilistic decisions. A general approach for calculating the derivatives of a stochastic function is presented, where a similar adaptation of AD applied to the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) algorithm yields exact DMC atomic forces. The approach is validated by performing the largest ever DMC force calculations, which demonstrate the feasibility of treating systems containing thousands of electrons. The efficiency of AD also enables molecular dynamics simulations driven entirely by DMC, adding new functionality to the QMC toolkit. Another focus of this thesis is using the phenomenon of stochastic coherence to correlate DMC simulations, allowing finite difference derivatives to be obtained with a small error. Whilst this method is far easier to implement than AD, preliminary results show an instability when treating larger systems. A different approach is obtained from extrapolating this method to a finite difference step size of zero, producing algebraic expressions for a direct differentiation of the DMC algorithm.
Physiological roles of the peptide Prokineticin 1
Creators: name: Abbara, Ali
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Prokineticin-1 (PK-1) and prokineticin-2 (PK-2) are two closely related cysteine-rich peptides which both bind to the prokineticin-1 and prokineticin-2 receptors (PKR-1 and PKR-2). The prokineticins were originally named due to their ability to stimulate gastrointestinal motility. Since that time, these peptides have been found to play a role in other biological processes including reproduction and nociception. Prokineticin-2 is known to be expressed in regions of the central nervous system involved in food intake. Consistent with this, work from our own department has shown that administration of prokineticin-2 to rodents reduces food intake both in lean and obese rodents. Prokineticin-2 is predominantly expressed within the central nervous system, whereas prokineticin-1 is heavily expressed in the gut. My pilot data showed that prokineticin 1 reduces food intake in rodents. I therefore hypothesised that prokineticin 1 may be a novel gut hormone. In this thesis, I investigate the role of prokineticin-1 on appetite in rodents and also compare the effects of prokineticin-1 with prokineticin-2. I also measured the changes in plasma levels of prokineticin in humans during feeding to establish the potential physiological relevance of prokineticin-1 as an anorectic gut hormone. Prokineticin-1 is also a potent angiogenic mitogen on endocrine vascular epithelium and hence it is also known as ‘Endocrine Gland-Vascular Endothelial Factor’. Placental angiogenesis plays an important role in placental function and risk of pregnancy complications such as miscarriage. I therefore hypothesised that prokineticin-1 is a biomarker of pregnancy complications in humans. In this thesis, I have measured circulating levels of prokineticin-1 found in pregnancy and correlated these with the occurrence of pregnancy complications. I have also compared the utility of prokineticin 1 with other potential novel markers of pregnancy complications. Together this body of work investigates the potential physiological roles of prokineticin-1.

Hierarchical bayesian models for sparse signal recovery and sampling
Creators: name: Karseras, Evripidis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis builds upon the problem of sparse signal recovery from the Bayesian standpoint. The advantages of employing Bayesian models are underscored, with the most important being the ease at which a model can be expanded or altered; leading to a fresh class of algorithms. The thesis fills out several gaps between sparse recovery algorithms and sparse Bayesian models; firstly the lack of global performance guarantees for the latter and secondly what the signifying differences are between the two. These questions are answered by providing; a refined theoretical analysis and a new class of algorithms that combines the benefits from classic recovery algorithms and sparse Bayesian modelling. The said Bayesian techniques find application in tracking dynamic sparse signals, something impossible under the Kalman filter approach. Another innovation of this thesis are Bayesian models for signals whose components are known a priori to exhibit a certain statistical trend. These situations require that the model enforces a given statistical bias on the solutions. Existing Bayesian models can cope with this input, but the algorithms to carry out the task are computationally expensive. Several ways are proposed to remedy the associated problems while still attaining some form of optimality. The proposed framework finds application in multipath channel estimation with some very promising results. Not far from the same area lies that of Approximate Message Passing. This includes extremely low-complexity algorithms for sparse recovery with a powerful analysis framework. Some results are derived, regarding the differences between these approximate methods and the aforementioned models. This can be seen as preliminary work for future research. Finally, the thesis presents a hardware implementation of a wideband spectrum analyser based on sparse recovery methods. The hardware consists of a Field-Programmable Gate Array coupled with an Analogue to Digital Converter. Some critical results are drawn, regarding the gains and viability of such methods.
Exploring novel aspects of choline phospholipid metabolism in cancer using metabolomics
Creators: name: Lau, Chung Ho
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Abnormal metabolic phenotypes can be a powerful resource for drug and biomarker discoveries. In this thesis, a metabolomic approach was used to examine several aspects of tumour metabolism with potential clinical applications. In the first part, the metabolic consequences of PIK3CA mutation in MCF10A breast cells were assessed. PIK3CA mutation is oncogenic, and is important for disease progression in many breast tumours. Increased glutaminolysis, fatty acid synthesis, pyruvate entry into the TCA cycle, and decreased glycerophosphocholine (GPC) were identified to be the most prominent phenotypes following knock-in PIK3CA mutation in MCF10A cells. GPC has long been reported as a potential marker for disease progression; however, its functional role in cancer remains unclear. Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase is responsible for the hydrolysis of GPC into choline and glycerol-3 phosphate (G3P), and EDI3 is a member of the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase family associated with metastasis in endometrial cancer patients. Through metabolomic analysis of tumour cell models, EDI3 silencing was found to increase GPC levels and the GPC: phosphocholine ratio. Also, it was demonstrated that EDI3 had an impact on a broader spectrum of metabolic phenotypes, and effects on glycolysis and fatty acid synthesis were also observed. Finally, using 1H HR-MAS-NMR, changes in levels of choline phospholipid metabolites following Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor treatment were investigated in a mouse pancreatic tumour model. CSF1R is important for growth signalling of macrophages in tumours. Phosphocholine levels were found to be associated with disease progression and CSF1R inhibitor treatment. Collectively, these findings highlight a number of novel factors in choline phospholipid metabolism that may be important to tumourigenesis and the development of cancer biomarkers, including the role of glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase and macrophage-tumour interaction.

description: Finding the best matching job offers for a candidate profile or, the best candidates profiles for a particular job offer, respectively constitutes the most common and most relevant type of queries in the Human Resources (HR) sector. This technically requires to investigate top-k queries on top of knowledge bases and relational databases. We propose in this paper a top-k query algorithm on relational databases able to produce effective and efficient results. The approach is to consider the partial order of matching relations between jobs and candidates profiles together with an efficient design of the data involved. In particular, the focus on a single relation, the matching relation, is crucial to achieve the expectations.

Model checking and compositional reasoning for multi-agent systems
Creators: name: Jones, Andrew Vaughan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Multi-agent systems are distributed systems containing interacting autonomous agents designed to achieve shared and private goals. For safety-critical systems where we wish to replace a human role with an autonomous entity, we need to make assurances about the correctness of the autonomous delegate. Specialised techniques have been proposed recently for the verification of agents against mentalistic logics. Problematically, these approaches treat the system in a monolithic way. When verifying a property against a single agent, the approaches examine all behaviours of every component in the system. This is both inefficient and can lead to intractability: the so-called state-space explosion problem. In this thesis, we consider techniques to support the verification of agents in isolation. We avoid the state-space explosion problem by verifying an individual agent in the context of a specification of the rest of the system, rather than the system itself. We show that it is possible to verify an agent against its desired properties without needing to consider the behaviours of the remaining components. We first introduce a novel approach for verifying a system as a whole against specifications expressed in a logic of time and knowledge. The technique, based on automata over trees, supports an efficient procedure to verify systems in an automata-theoretic way using language containment. We show how the automata-theoretic approach can be used as an underpinning for assume-guarantee reasoning for multi-agent systems. We use a temporal logic of actions to specify the expected behaviour of the other components in the system. When performing modular verification, this specification is used to exclude behaviours that are inconsistent with the concrete system. We implement both approaches within the open-source model checker MCMAS and show that, for the relevant properties, the assume-guarantee approach can significantly increase the tractability of individual agent verification.

Isospin Violations in the Pion-Nucleon System

description: We examine the effect of isospin-violating meson-nucleon coupling constants on low-energy pion-nucleon scattering. We compute the couplings in the context of a nonrelativistic quark model. The difference between the up and down constituent masses induces a coupling of the neutral pion to the proton that is slightly larger than the corresponding one for the neutron. This difference generates a large isospin-violating correction---proportional to the isospin-even contribution arising from the nucleon Born terms---to the charge-exchange ($π^{-}p \rightarrow π^{0}n$) amplitude. In contrast to the isospin-conserving case, this correction is not cancelled by $σ$-meson exchange; in our model there is no isospin-violating $NNσ$ coupling at $q^2=0$. As a result, we find a violation of the triangle identity consistent with the one reported by Gibbs, Ai, and Kaufmann from a recent analysis of pion-nucleon data.

Development of novel synthetic and systems biology tools for investigating and obviating the effect of atherogenic blood flow on vascular cells
Creators: name: Kis, Zoltan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The high mortality from cardiovascular diseases is caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis develops due to multiple factors, including biomechanical factors, such as shear stress generated by the flow of blood on the inner lining of blood vessels. In order to tackle this serious life-threatening condition, we aimed to develop synthetic and systems biology tools for studying the effect of atherogenic shear stress regimes on vascular cells. Our tools could potentially also lead to the identification of drug targets and of drug candidates against cardiovascular disease. The first tool that we developed is a network of genes consisting of a shear stress sensor module, a reporter module and a linker module which signals from the sensor to the reporter module. This circuit is capable of processing the shear stress or ligand activation signal into a fluorescent readout, allowing screening for drug candidate compounds that modify the activity of the shear stress sensor. Instead of the reporter module, the gene network could be coupled to therapeutic genes in order to express these genes under atherogenic shear stress conditions. Our second developed tool is a flow chamber which facilitates exposure of vascular cells to linearly increasing shear stress along the length of the channel floor for in vitro cellular biomechanical studies. This device outperforms currently available linear shear stress inducing devices in terms of the magnitude of shear stress range, linearity of shear stress along the channel length, and the large sampling area granted by the uniformity of shear stress across the channel width. The third tool that we developed is an electroporation and flow device capable of inserting genetic material into primary vascular cells in their adherent state, exposing these cells to fluid flow. This device allows investigations into cardiovascular mechanotransduction pathways under relevant physiological flow conditions.
Electrochemical reduction of amides and c=c bonds

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Reduction of amides to amines is an important transformation in organic synthesis, which has been identified as among the ‘top ten most important reactions’ by a consortium of pharmaceutical companies. Presently achieved by hydride or borane reagents, it is both hazardous and generates excessive volumes of effluent and waste. Similarly, chemoselective reduction of C=C bonds, particularly conjugated double bonds, also presents a significant challenge in organic synthesis. Electrochemical synthesis using a flow reactor offers an environmentally benign and energy efficient technology for producing key intermediates in the synthesis of candidate drug molecules; its benefits include: improved control of reaction parameters, reproducibility and scalability. The first part of the thesis describes a study on the kinetics of the selective electrochemical reduction of C=C maleimide derivatives using a rotating disc electrode system. The resulting data was used to define the reactor’s operating conditions. Subsequently, the chemoselective and stereoselective reduction of maleimide derivatives were carried out in the electrochemical flow reactor with a graphite felt cathode and the rate of reactant depletion, monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy. In the second part, amide reduction was studied in an electrochemical flow reactor using vitreous carbon and boron-doped diamond cathodes. The reduction of N,N- dimethylbenzamide produced the corresponding amine, benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol. The selectivity of the reaction was investigated as a function of reaction conditions, and a mechanism for the reduction was proposed. Subsequently, a range of functionalised amides were subjected to electrochemical reduction under optimised conditions, to further assess the scope of the methodology as a tool for organic synthesis. The influence of electron donating and withdrawing groups incorporated in to N-benzoylpyrrolidine derivatives were investigated, as well as the pattern of substitution on the amides. The result revealed observable trends in the product distribution between the corresponding amine, benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol compounds.

An Isocurvature CDM Cosmogony. I. A Worked Example of Evolution Through Inflation
Creators: name: Peebles, P. J. E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I present a specific worked example of evolution through inflation to the initial conditions for an isocurvature CDM model for structure formation. The model invokes three scalar fields, one that drives power law inflation, one that survives to become the present-day CDM, and one that gives the CDM field a mass that slowly decreases during inflation and so ``tilts'' the primeval mass fluctuation spectrum of the CDM. The functional forms for the potentials and the parameter values that lead to an observationally acceptable model for structure formation do not seem to be out of line with current ideas about the physics of the very early universe. I argue in an accompanying paper that the model offers an acceptable fit to main observational constraints.

description: Reducing energy consumption in buildings of all kinds is a key challenge for researchers since it can help to notably reduce the waste of energy and its associated costs. However, when dealing with residential environments, there is a major problem, people comfort should not be altered, so it is necessary to look for smart methods which take into account this circumstance. Traditional techniques have not considered the study of human behavior when providing solutions in this field, but new human-centric paradigms are emerging gradually. We present our research on user behavior concerning electricity consumption in office buildings and residential environments. Our goal consists of inspiring practitioners in this field for developing new human-aware solutions.

description: Our dataset contain brachiopod and bulk carbonate rock stable isotopic data for oxygen (O) and carbon (C) from the Middle Ordovician succession from northern Estonia region for evaluating the Middle Ordovician palaeotemperature and palaeoenvironmental history. Combining the published and new δ13Cbrac and δ18Obrac data allow us to address chemostratigraphic correlation in the interval Middle Ordovician. The Baltoscandian δ18O data generally confirm a cooling trend from Early to Middle Ordovician documented by previous studies in different palaeobasins. A total of 50 brachiopod and 30 bulk rock samples were collected for this study from eight outcrops in northeastern Estonia.

description: The ESO Slice Project (ESP) is a galaxy redshift survey extending over about 23 square degrees, in a region near the South Galactic Pole. The survey is ~85% complete to the limiting magnitude b_J=19.4 and consists of 3342 galaxies with redshift determination. The ESP survey is intermediate between shallow, wide angle samples and very deep, one-dimensional pencil beams; the spanned volume is ~ 5 x 10^4 Mpc^3 at the sensitivity peak (z ~ 0.1). In this paper we present the description of the observations and of the data reduction, the ESP redshift catalogue and the analysis of the quality of the velocity determinations.
