Testing, simulation and optimisation of additively manufactured structural hollow sections
Creators: name: Zhang, Ruizhi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining increasing prominence in the construction industry, offering the potential for enhanced design freedom and reduced material use. However, the performance of additively manufactured metallic structural elements and the possible benefits associated with the attainable optimised geometries have seldom been investigated. The primary aim of this study is therefore to conduct an experimental and numerical investigation of additively manufactured metallic components, considering material behaviour, welded components and optimised tubular profiles. An experimental investigation was first conducted to examine the microstructural and mechanical properties of AM materials. Two grades of powder bed fusion (PBF) stainless steel (316L and CX) were considered, and the weldability and joining characteristics of PBF 316L stainless steel were also examined. The underlying microstructures were characterised and correlated with the measured mechanical properties from tensile coupon tests. At the cross-sectional level, axial compression tests were carried out on PBF circular hollow sections; advanced measuring techniques, including 3D laser-scanning and digital image correlation, were employed in the tests. Finite element (FE) models were developed to replicate the test results and to generate supplementary cross-sectional resistance data. Comparisons between design predictions and the test and FE data were made to evaluate the applicability of the existing codified design rules to additively manufactured cross-sections. In order to increase the axial compressive resistance and to reduce the imperfection sensitivity of very slender circular cross-sections (or cylindrical shells), optimised corrugated shells were sought through the use of the Particle Swarm Optimisation algorithm in conjunction with cross-section profile generation and numerical analyses. An experimental investigation into the cross-sectional behaviour of the resulting optimised shells, additively manufactured by PBF in 316L and CX stainless steels, was undertaken. The test results verified that the corrugated cylindrical shells achieved significantly higher capacities than their circular counterparts and with reduced imperfection sensitivity.

description: Optical spectroscopic monitoring has been conducted of two O stars in the Small and one in the Large Magellanic Cloud, the spectral characteristics of which place them in the Of?p category, which has been established in the Galaxy to consist of oblique magnetic rotators. All of these Magellanic stars show systematic spectral variations typical of the Of?p class, further strengthening their magnetic candidacy to the point of virtual certainty. The spectral variations are related to photometric variations derived from OGLE data by Naze et al. (2015) in a parallel study, which yields rotational periods for two of them. Now circular spectropolarimetry is required to measure their fields, and ultraviolet spectroscopy to further characterize their low-metallicity, magnetically confined winds, in support of hydrodynamical analyses.

The share of ultra-processed foods and the overall nutritional quality of diets in the US: evidence from a nationally representative cross-sectional study
Creators: name: Popkin, Barry
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2017

description: Abstract Background Recent population dietary studies indicate that diets rich in ultra-processed foods, increasingly frequent worldwide, are grossly nutritionally unbalanced, suggesting that the dietary contribution of these foods largely determines the overall nutritional quality of contemporaneous diets. Yet, these studies have focused on individual nutrients (one at a time) rather than the overall nutritional quality of the diets. Here we investigate the relationship between the energy contribution of ultra-processed foods in the US diet and its content of critical nutrients, individually and overall. Methods We evaluated dietary intakes of 9,317 participants from 2009 to 2010 NHANES aged 1+ years. Food items were classified into unprocessed or minimally processed foods, processed culinary ingredients, processed foods, and ultra-processed foods. First, we examined the average dietary content of macronutrients, micronutrients, and fiber across quintiles of the energy contribution of ultra-processed foods. Then, we used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify a nutrient-balanced dietary pattern to enable the assessment of the overall nutritional quality of the diet. Linear regression was used to explore the association between the dietary share of ultra-processed foods and the balanced-pattern PCA factor score. The scores were thereafter categorized into tertiles, and their distribution was examined across ultra-processed food quintiles. All models incorporated survey sample weights and were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, family income, and educational attainment. Results The average content of protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, D, and E, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium in the US diet decreased significantly across quintiles of the energy contribution of ultra-processed foods, while carbohydrate, added sugar, and saturated fat contents increased. An inverse dose–response association was found between ultra-processed food quintiles and overall dietary quality measured through a nutrient-balanced-pattern PCA-derived factor score characterized by being richer in fiber, potassium, magnesium and vitamin C, and having less saturated fat and added sugars. Conclusions This study suggests that decreasing the dietary share of ultra-processed foods is a rational and effective way to improve the nutritional quality of US diets.
Thermo-hydro-mechanical characterisation of London clay
Creators: name: Chen, Sihua
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Geothermal energy has been increasingly utilised in recent years to meet the sustainability targets of civil engineering structures. Ground Source Energy Systems (GSESs) that make use of low enthalpy geothermal energy have been shown to be efficient in providing low carbon heating and cooling to structures. To better understand the impact of the Ground Source Energy Systems on the surrounding ground, it is important to obtain high-quality laboratory testing data regarding the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of soils. Three pieces of temperature-controlled testing equipment designed at the Imperial College Geotechnical Laboratory were used in this research. i) The existing isotropic apparatus was enhanced with the installation of a mid-height pore pressure probe, to enable accurate monitoring of pore water pressure changes at different locations of the soil specimen during multiple cycles of heating and cooling. ii) A new thermal triaxial apparatus with a double load-cell measuring system was developed to enable the shearing of soil specimens at both ambient and elevated temperatures. iii) A new oedometer apparatus with a thermal bath was developed for the measurement of compression properties of London clay under different temperature levels. Thermal and mechanical calibrations have been performed on the instrumentation and are presented in this thesis. Procedures of how the measured and calculated values are obtained and how the calibration curves are determined are explained. Trail tests with dummy samples and real soil tests have been performed to validate the calibration and to assess the calibration errors. Consistent protocols for thermal testing of clays are developed and documented here. Corrections are applied to the data where appropriate. The assumptions and expressions used for corrections are presented. The design of the equipment, thermal and mechanical calibrations, testing procedures and corrections for data processing presented in this thesis can be used as a reference to perform thermal testing on soils in the future. The effect of temperature on the behaviour of London clay has been investigated and presented. Some key aspects of the soil behaviour, including compression characteristics, preconsolidation pressure, volume change, strength, stiffness and pore water pressure, have been evaluated. Soil behaviour observed in this research have been compared with that from the same or other clays in published work. Results obtained in this research could be used to calibrate appropriate constitutive models, for example, the fully coupled thermal model in the Imperial College Finite Element Program (ICFEP).

description: The Boron to Carbon (B/C) and sub-Fe/Fe ratios provides an important clue on Cosmic Ray (CR) propagation within the Galaxy. These ratios estimate the grammage that the CR traverse as they propagate from their sources to Earth. Attempts to explain these ratios within the standard CR propagation models require ad hoc modifications and even with those these models necessitate inconsistent grammages to explain both ratios. As an alternative, physically motivated model, we have proposed that CR originate preferably within the galactic spiral arms. CR propagation from dynamic spiral arms has important imprints on various secondary to primary ratios, such as the B/C ratio and the positron fraction. We use our spiral arm diffusion model with the spallation network extended up to Nickel to calculate the sub-Fe/Fe ratio. We show that without any additional parameters the spiral arm model consistently explains both ratios with the same grammage, providing further evidence in favor of this model.

description: The following work describes the development and application of a neurological system to definitively profile the auditory responses of aquatic animals, presented as audiograms showing hearing threshold verses sound frequency. The accuracy of such information is essential for the optimisation of bio-technical devices such as the Acoustic Fish Deterrent (AFD) barrier deployed in the Illinois River to prevent the migration of non-indigenous Asian carp into Lake Michigan, and in the impact assessment of anthropogenic underwater sounds on the hearing of cetaceans and other marine animals. The ensuing Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) electrophysiological recording technique developed at the University of Plymouth and described in this thesis is classified by the UK Home Office as being non-invasive, yielding high quality data from vertebrates in the absence of anaesthetics or implanted electrodes. The ABR technique was further refined to allow for the recording of evoked potentials in response to either the sound pressure or particle motion component of an acoustic signal, from animals stationed both at and below the water surface and ranging in size from a few millimetres to nearly a meter in length. The electrophysiological studies have resulted in the publication of three peer reviewed manuscripts, one of which is the first to define hearing for any animal from the order Acipenseriform (sturgeons and paddlefish). In addition to the development of the electrophysiology system and protocols, the inner ear morphology of the animals tested in this work were studied at the ultrastructural level, along with detailed descriptions of the afferent nerve pathway from the ear to the brain. Current literature shows a paucity of information on consistent and meticulous removal of inner ear parts necessary to identify damage to the ultrastructure that is symptomatic of hearing loss. In order for the acquisition of concise and reliable data, the dissection and preparation technique for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was refined for each species investigated and has resulted in the publication of a further three peer reviewed manuscripts on inner ear morphology.

description: In this paper the anomalous intense pulse of the PSR J0953+0755 was studied in decametre wavelength range. For this pulse two scales of fine structure were discovered. The long-scale structure consists of four components, where the visible dispersion measures of even and odd components are different. The obtained time-scale of the short fine structure is 1 ms. The difference in visible dispersion measure can be caused by propagation of two normal modes of the pulsar radiation and irregularities of electron concentration in the space near the neutron star like upper layers of magnetosphere and pulsar wind.

description: We report field- and current-induced domain wall (DW) depinning experiments in Ta/Co20Fe60B20/MgO nanowires through a Hall cross geometry. While purely field-induced depinning shows no angular dependence on in-plane fields, the effect of the current depends crucially on the internal DW structure, which we manipulate by an external magnetic in-plane field. We show for the first time depinning measurements for a current sent parallel to the DW and compare its depinning efficiency with the conventional case of current flowing perpendicularly to the DW. We find that the maximum efficiency is similar for both current directions within the error bars, which is in line with a dominating damping-like spin-orbit torque (SOT) and indicates that no large additional torques arise for currents parallel to the DW. Finally, we find a varying dependence of the maximum depinning efficiency angle for different DWs and pinning levels. This emphasizes the importance of our full angular scans compared to previously used measurements for just two field directions (parallel and perpendicular to the DW) and shows the sensitivity of the spin-orbit torque to the precise DW structure and pinning sites.

Geographic clustering of elevated blood heavy metal levels in pregnant women
Creators: name: Mendez, Michelle
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Abstract Background Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and arsenic (As) exposure is ubiquitous and has been associated with higher risk of growth restriction and cardiometabolic and neurodevelopmental disorders. However, cost-efficient strategies to identify at-risk populations and potential sources of exposure to inform mitigation efforts are limited. The objective of this study was to describe the spatial distribution and identify factors associated with Cd, Pb, Hg, and As concentrations in peripheral blood of pregnant women. Methods Heavy metals were measured in whole peripheral blood of 310 pregnant women obtained at gestational age ~12 weeks. Prenatal residential addresses were geocoded and geospatial analysis (Getis-Ord Gi* statistics) was used to determine if elevated blood concentrations were geographically clustered. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with elevated blood metal levels and cluster membership. Results Geospatial clusters for Cd and Pb were identified with high confidence (p-value for Gi* statistic <0.01). The Cd and Pb clusters comprised 10.5 and 9.2 % of Durham County residents, respectively. Medians and interquartile ranges of blood concentrations (μg/dL) for all participants were Cd 0.02 (0.01–0.04), Hg 0.03 (0.01–0.07), Pb 0.34 (0.16–0.83), and As 0.04 (0.04–0.05). In the Cd cluster, medians and interquartile ranges of blood concentrations (μg/dL) were Cd 0.06 (0.02–0.16), Hg 0.02 (0.00–0.05), Pb 0.54 (0.23–1.23), and As 0.05 (0.04–0.05). In the Pb cluster, medians and interquartile ranges of blood concentrations (μg/dL) were Cd 0.03 (0.02–0.15), Hg 0.01 (0.01–0.05), Pb 0.39 (0.24–0.74), and As 0.04 (0.04–0.05). Co-exposure with Pb and Cd was also clustered, the p-values for the Gi* statistic for Pb and Cd was <0.01. Cluster membership was associated with lower education levels and higher pre-pregnancy BMI. Conclusions Our data support that elevated blood concentrations of Cd and Pb are spatially clustered in this urban environment compared to the surrounding areas. Spatial analysis of metals concentrations in peripheral blood or urine obtained routinely during prenatal care can be useful in surveillance of heavy metal exposure.

description: We analyzed the multi-band optical behaviour of the BL Lacertae object, S5 0716+714, during its outburst state from 2014 November - 2015 March. We took data on 23 nights at three observatories, one in India and two in Bulgaria, making quasi-simultaneous observations in B, V, R, and I bands. We measured multi-band optical fluxes, colour and spectral variations for this blazar on intraday and short timescales. The source was in a flaring state during the period analyzed and displayed intense variability in all wavelengths. R band magnitude of 11.6 was attained by the target on 18 Jan 2015, which is the brightest value ever recorded for S5 0716+714. The discrete correlation function method yielded good correlation between the bands with no measurable time lags, implying that radiation in these bands originate from the same region and by the same mechanism. We also used the structure function technique to look for characteristic timescales in the light curves. During the times of rapid variability, no evidence for the source to display spectral changes with magnitude was found on either of the timescales. The amplitude of variations tends to increase with increasing frequency with a maximum of $\sim$ 22% seen during flaring states in B band. A mild trend of larger variability amplitude as the source brightens was also found. We found the duty cycle of our source during the analyzed period to be $\sim$ 90%. We also investigated the optical spectral energy distribution of S5 0716+714 using B, V, R, and I data points for 21 nights. We briefly discuss physical mechanisms most likely responsible for its flux and spectral variations.

Optimal capital planning and long-term funding for urban rail organisations
Creators: name: Xuto, Praj
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: In major cities, rail systems are instrumental in ensuring sustainable growth and reducing congestion. However, for some systems, infrastructure reinvestment receives less attention than network expansion and short-term decisions such as pricing. Related to this, at a higher level, is how urban rail organisations are funded, which affects the quality of service, through both service level and asset condition. This thesis’s aim is thus to contribute to an emerging interdisciplinary literature with theoretical and empirical insights on funding and reinvestment decisions in urban rail systems. Key contributions are centred around three core analyses. Firstly, a novel dynamic optimisation model was developed that extends the conventional approach to pricing and capacity provision by including reinvestment and asset condition variables. The model highlights the intrinsic positive impacts of long-term planning horizons on social welfare and infrastructure condition, with a converse negative impact from political cycles due to the mismatch between the shorter planning horizon and longer infrastructure lifecycle. Secondly, a time series econometric model was developed to quantify the impacts of investment on metro demand and operating cost for two large systems, with a positive link between investment and demand over the long-term. Fare and service quality elasticities are also confirmed, with the latter’s magnitude tending higher. Finally, a more qualitative analysis on funding was conducted, based on newly collected, very long-term (up to 100 years) numerical data from six large metros around the world. This provided new insights into funding sources used, how they changed over time, and their strengths and weaknesses – we conclude that the type of funding source can have an inherent, long-term financial impact on rail organisations. This thesis utilises a diverse set of methods to put the spotlight of academic research on long-term planning, infrastructure reinvestment, and funding – and their roles for more effective urban rail organisations.

description: We report on the generation of time-bin entangled photon pairs from a semiconductor quantum dot via pulsed resonant biexciton generation. Based on theoretical modeling we optimized the duration of the excitation pulse to minimize the laser-induced dephasing and increase the biexciton-to-background single exciton occupation probability. This results in a high degree of entanglement with a concurrence of up to 0.78(6) and a 0.88(3) overlap with a maximally entangled state. Theoretical simulations also indicate a power dependent nature of the dephasing during the laser excitation that limits the coherence of the excitation process.

The agreement chart
Creators: name: Bangdiwala, Shrikant
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2013

description: Abstract
                Background
                When assessing the concordance between two methods of measurement of ordinal categorical data, summary measures such as Cohen’s (1960) kappa or Bangdiwala’s (1985) B-statistic are used. However, a picture conveys more information than a single summary measure.
                Methods
                We describe how to construct and interpret Bangdiwala’s (1985) agreement chart and illustrate its use in visually assessing concordance in several example clinical applications.
                Results
                The agreement charts provide a visual impression that no summary statistic can convey, and summary statistics reduce the information to a single characteristic of the data. However, the visual impression is personal and subjective, and not usually reproducible from one reader to another.
                Conclusions
                The agreement chart should be used to complement the summary kappa or B-statistics, not to replace them. The graphs can be very helpful to researchers as an early step to understand relationships in their data when assessing concordance.

description: Abstract Background Environmental perturbation of epigenetic mechanisms is linked to a growing number of diseases. Characterizing the role environmental factors play in modifying the epigenome is important for disease etiology. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient affecting brain, bone, heart, immune and reproductive health. Vitamin D insufficiency is a global issue, and the role in maternal and child health remains under investigation. Methods We used Collaborative Cross (CC) inbred mice to characterize the effect of maternal vitamin D depletion on offspring phenotypic and epigenetic outcomes at imprinted domains (H19/Igf2, Snrpn, Dlk1/Gtl2, and Grb10) in the soma (liver) and germline (sperm). We assessed outcomes in two generations of offspring to determine heritability. We used reciprocal crosses between lines CC001/Unc and CC011/Unc to investigate parent of origin effects. Results Maternal vitamin D deficiency led to altered body weight and DNA methylation in two generations of offspring. Loci assayed in adult liver and sperm were mostly hypomethylated, but changes were few and small in effect size (<7 % difference on average). There was no change in total expression of genes adjacent to methylation changes in neonatal liver. Methylation changes were cell type specific such that changes at IG-DMR were present in sperm but not in liver. Some methylation changes were distinct between generations such that methylation changes at the H19ICR in second-generation liver were not present in first-generation sperm or liver. Interestingly, some diet-dependent changes in body weight and methylation were seemingly influenced by parent of origin such that reciprocal crosses exhibited inverse effects. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that maternal vitamin D status plays a role in determining DNA methylation state in the germline and soma. Detection of methylation changes in the unexposed second-generation demonstrates that maternal vitamin D depletion can have long-term effects on the epigenome of subsequent generations. Differences in vitamin D-dependent epigenetic state between cell types and generations indicate perturbation of the epigenetic landscape rather than a targeted, locus-specific effect. While the biological importance of these subtle changes remains unclear, they warrant an investigation of epigenome-wide effects of maternal vitamin D depletion.

description: We study the effect of resonances associated with complex molecular interaction of Rydberg atoms on Rydberg blockade. We show that densely-spaced molecular potentials between doubly-excited atomic pairs become unavoidably resonant with the optical excitation at short interatomic separations. Such molecular resonances limit the coherent control of individual excitations in Rydberg blockade. As an illustration, we compute the molecular interaction potentials of Rb atoms near the $100s$ states asymptote to characterize such detrimental molecular resonances, determine the resonant loss rate to molecules and inhomogeneous light shifts. Techniques to avoid the undesired effect of molecular resonances are discussed.

description: Abstract Background We examined racial differences in the expression of eight genes and their associations with risk of recurrence among 478 white and 495 black women who participated in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study Phase 3. Methods Breast tumor samples were analyzed for PAM50 subtype and for eight genes previously found to be differentially expressed by race and associated with breast cancer survival: ACOX2, MUC1, FAM177A1, GSTT2, PSPH, PSPHL, SQLE, and TYMS. The expression of these genes according to race was assessed using linear regression and each gene was evaluated in association with recurrence using Cox regression. Results Compared to white women, black women had lower expression of MUC1, a suspected good prognosis gene, and higher expression of GSTT2, PSPHL, SQLE, and TYMS, suspected poor prognosis genes, after adjustment for age and PAM50 subtype. High expression (greater than median versus less than or equal to median) of FAM177A1 and PSPH was associated with a 63% increase (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.09–2.46) and 76% increase (HR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.15–2.68), respectively, in risk of recurrence after adjustment for age, race, PAM50 subtype, and ROR-PT score. Log2-transformed SQLE expression was associated with a 20% increase (HR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.03–1.41) in recurrence risk after adjustment. A continuous multi-gene score comprised of eight genes was also associated with increased risk of recurrence among all women (HR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.04–1.19) and among white (HR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.03–1.27) and black (HR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.02–1.20) women. Conclusions Racial differences in gene expression may contribute to the survival disparity observed between black and white women diagnosed with breast cancer.
