description: In this paper we introduce Principal Filter Analysis (PFA), an easy to use and effective method for neural network compression. PFA exploits the correlation between filter responses within network layers to recommend a smaller network that maintain as much as possible the accuracy of the full model. We propose two algorithms: the first allows users to target compression to specific network property, such as number of trainable variable (footprint), and produces a compressed model that satisfies the requested property while preserving the maximum amount of spectral energy in the responses of each layer, while the second is a parameter-free heuristic that selects the compression used at each layer by trying to mimic an ideal set of uncorrelated responses. Since PFA compresses networks based on the correlation of their responses we show in our experiments that it gains the additional flexibility of adapting each architecture to a specific domain while compressing. PFA is evaluated against several architectures and datasets, and shows considerable compression rates without compromising accuracy, e.g., for VGG-16 on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 and ImageNet, PFA achieves a compression rate of 8x, 3x, and 1.4x with an accuracy gain of 0.4%, 1.4% points, and 2.4% respectively. Our tests show that PFA is competitive with state-of-the-art approaches while removing adoption barriers thanks to its practical implementation, intuitive philosophy and ease of use.

Purification, Dispersion and Separation of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Creators: name: Fogden, Sian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis, the purification, dispersion and separation of Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) are explored. The motivation for this work arose from the basic desire to understand and further develop the underlying chemistry of SWNTs, thus enabling the extraordinary properties of SWNTs to be used to their full potential. Achieving highly pure SWNT samples on which further chemistry can be undertaken is of critical importance; purification must be able to be performed in a reliable and repeatable manner. As such, a new method of SWNT purification was developed. This method introduced a new base washing step that removed a significant fraction of the impurities created during the standard acid reflux purification. This finding has implications for many existing reports on nanotube chemistry. Separation of SWNTs by their electronic properties is extremely important if SWNTs are to fulfil their potential in a wide range of applications, from optoelectronics to molecular sensing. In order to separate metallic and semiconducting SWNTs, two novel methods were developed, both of which are relatively cheap and easily scalable. First, SWNTs were reduced in liquid ammonia containing an alkali metal. The reduced tube salts were then spontaneously dissolved in dry solvents to form stable dispersions which were found to contain primarily metallic SWNTs; hence, separation was achieved. The second method investigated the separation of SWNTs reduced by electrochemical means. When a voltage was passed through a SWNT sample in a suitable electrolyte, SWNTs were reduced and therefore dissolved. These dissolved SWNTs were deposited as a thin carbon film, in which metallic SWNTs were found to preferentially present; once again, separation was achieved.

description: Objective: To examine the relationship of prenatal environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and full-term low birth weight (FT-LBW) when taking anthropometric proportionality into consideration, and explore whether appetite mediates their association. Study design: We conducted a case-control study among pregnant women at two Women and Children’s Hospitals in Guangdong, China. Information was collected through interview and medical records review. A series of logistic and linear regressions were used to examine the relationships of prenatal ETS exposure, appetite, and FT-LBW. Results: After adjusting for the potential confounders, prenatal ETS exposure was significantly negatively associated with FT-LBW (OR: 1.83, 95%CI: 1.35–2.48) and negatively correlated with maternal appetite in second and third trimester during pregnancy (β: −0.11, standard error: 0.03). Moreover, mediation analysis illustrated that maternal appetite partially mediated 12.00% of their relationship. However, subgroup analysis showed that prenatal ETS exposure was linked to higher risk of symmetric FT-LBW (OR: 2.26, 95%CI: 1.56–3.26) but not asymmetric FT-LBW. And maternal appetite explained only 6.45% of their relationship. Conclusions: Maternal prenatal ETS exposure increased risk of having symmetric FT-LBW infant, and appetite might mediate their relationship partially. This study emphasizes the importance of sample homogeneity and stresses the needs to improve the public awareness of the harmful effects of ETS.

I concentrate on whether a first order phase transition occurs at $θ=π.$ I show why this is expected when multiple flavors have a small degenerate mass. This transition can be removed by sufficient flavor-breaking. I speculate on the implications of this structure for Wilson's lattice fermions.

description: We use ALMA and JVLA observations of the galaxy cluster Cl J1449+0856 at z=1.99, in order to study how dust-obscured star-formation, ISM content and AGN activity are linked to environment and galaxy interactions during the crucial phase of high-z cluster assembly. We present detections of multiple transitions of $^{12}$CO, as well as dust continuum emission detections from 11 galaxies in the core of Cl J1449+0856. We measure the gas excitation properties, star-formation rates, gas consumption timescales and gas-to-stellar mass ratios for the galaxies. We find evidence for a large fraction of galaxies with highly-excited molecular gas, contributing $>$50% to the total SFR in the cluster core. We compare these results with expectations for field galaxies, and conclude that environmental influences have strongly enhanced the fraction of excited galaxies in this cluster. We find a dearth of molecular gas in the galaxies' gas reservoirs, implying a high star-formation efficiency (SFE) in the cluster core, and find short gas depletion timescales $τ$<0.1-0.4 Gyrs for all galaxies. Interestingly, we do not see evidence for increased specific star-formation rates (sSFRs) in the cluster galaxies, despite their high SFEs and gas excitations. We find evidence for a large number of mergers in the cluster core, contributing a large fraction of the core's total star-formation compared with expectations in the field. We conclude that the environmental impact on the galaxy excitations is linked to the high rate of galaxy mergers, interactions and active galactic nuclei in the cluster core.

description: We perform a study of the $B^{(*)}$, $D^{(*)}$ semileptonic decays, using a different method than in conventional approaches, where the matrix elements of the weak operators are evaluated and a detailed spin-angular momentum algebra is performed to obtain very simple expressions at the end for the different decay modes. Using only one experimental decay rate in the $B$ or $D$ sectors, the rates for the rest of decay modes are predicted and they are in good agreement with experiment. Some discrepancies are observed in the $τ$ decay mode for which we find an explanation. We perform evaluations for $B^*$ and $D^*$ decay rates that can be used in future measurements, now possible in the LHCb collaboration.

description: Gaia DR2 has delivered full-sky 6-D measurements for millions of stars, and the quest to understand the dynamics of our Galaxy has entered a new phase. Our aim is to reveal and characterize the kinematic sub-structure of the different Galactic neighbourhoods, to form a picture of their spatial evolution that can be used to infer the Galactic potential, its evolution and its components. We take ~5 million stars in the Galactic disk from the Gaia DR2 catalogue and build the velocity distribution of many different Galactic Neighbourhoods distributed along 5 kpc in Galactic radius and azimuth. We decompose their distribution of stars in the V_R-V_phi plane with the wavelet transformation and asses the statistical significance of the structures found. We detect many kinematic sub-structures (arches and more rounded groups) that diminish their azimuthal velocity as a function of Galactic radius in a continuous way, connecting volumes up to 3 kpc apart in some cases. The decrease rate is, on average, of ~23 km/s/kpc. In azimuth, the kinematic sub-structures present much smaller variations. We also observe a duality in their behaviour: some conserve their vertical angular momentum with radius (e.g., Hercules), while some seem to have nearly constant kinetic energy (e.g., Sirius). These two trends are consistent with the approximate predictions of resonances and of phase mixing, respectively. Besides, the overall spatial evolution of Hercules is consistent with being related to the Outer Lindblad Resonance of the Bar. We also detect structures without apparent counterpart in the vicinity of the Sun. The various trends observed and their continuity with radius and azimuth allows for future work to deeply explore the parameter space of the models. Also, the characterization of extrasolar moving groups opens the opportunity to expand our understanding of the Galaxy beyond the Solar Neighbourhood.

Multi-Dimensional Fluorescence Microscopy for Förster Resonance Energy Transfer Studies of Cell Signaling
Creators: name: Grant, David Mitchell
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis discusses the development of novel multi-dimensional fluorescence microscopy, particularly fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) technology, and its application to imaging Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) events in live cells. Particular emphasis is placed on imaging activation of Ras family GTP-ases and binding to their effectors, including Phospholipase C Epsilon (PLCε). The early part of the thesis discusses FLIM-FRET experiments performed using a standard confocal microscope with time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) to image interactions between PLCε and Ras. These early experiments suggested a weak interaction but this mode of imaging was too slow to capture dynamics of Ras activation in live cells. The long acquisition times required by the TCSPC microscope prompted the development of a high speed FLIM microscope using wide-field time-gated imaging, which was combined with a Nipkow disc confocal scan head to achieve optical sectioning. This system was characterised and its performance compared with commercially available TCSPC FLIM microscopes, demonstrating the enhancement in imaging speed for comparable accuracy of lifetime determination. This new microscope was subsequently applied to study the activation of the H-Ras oncogene in live cells following EGF stimulation. The latter part of the thesis discusses the development of a second novel microscope system for multiplexed FRET studies – using both FLIM and spectral ratiometric imaging to monitor two different FRET pairs expressed within a single live cell. A CFP-YFP cameleon FRET biosensor was used to probe calcium signals in cells expressing different PLC isoforms and this was complemented by several novel Ras activation sensors that were designed using fluorescent proteins in the red end of the visible spectrum. Calibration experiments were carried out to determine the optimal fluorophores and filter sets for imaging multiplexed biosensors and the potential for imaging dynamics of calcium flux and Ras activation within the same cell were investigated.
Logistic Regression, Neural Networks and Dempster-Shafer Theory: a New Perspective

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: We revisit logistic regression and its nonlinear extensions, including multilayer feedforward neural networks, by showing that these classifiers can be viewed as converting input or higher-level features into Dempster-Shafer mass functions and aggregating them by Dempster's rule of combination. The probabilistic outputs of these classifiers are the normalized plausibilities corresponding to the underlying combined mass function. This mass function is more informative than the output probability distribution. In particular, it makes it possible to distinguish between lack of evidence (when none of the features provides discriminant information) from conflicting evidence (when different features support different classes). This expressivity of mass functions allows us to gain insight into the role played by each input feature in logistic regression, and to interpret hidden unit outputs in multilayer neural networks. It also makes it possible to use alternative decision rules, such as interval dominance, which select a set of classes when the available evidence does not unambiguously point to a single class, thus trading reduced error rate for higher imprecision.

description: We study the fundamental limits of detecting the presence of an additive rank-one perturbation, or spike, to a Wigner matrix. When the spike comes from a prior that is i.i.d. across coordinates, we prove that the log-likelihood ratio of the spiked model against the non-spiked one is asymptotically normal below a certain reconstruction threshold which is not necessarily of a "spectral" nature, and that it is degenerate above. This establishes the maximal region of contiguity between the planted and null models. It is known that this threshold also marks a phase transition for estimating the spike: the latter task is possible above the threshold and impossible below. Therefore, both estimation and detection undergo the same transition in this random matrix model. We also provide further information about the performance of the optimal test. Our proofs are based on Gaussian interpolation methods and a rigorous incarnation of the cavity method, as devised by Guerra and Talagrand in their study of the Sherrington--Kirkpatrick spin-glass model.

The method is a generalization of the iterative-perturbative, IP, method. We present a test case indicating the degree of uniqueness of the potential. The method is adapted, using established procedures, into direct observable to potential inversion, fitting $σ$, ${\rm i}T_{11}$, $T_{20}$, $T_{21}$ and $T_{22}$ for d + alpha scattering over a range of energies near 10 MeV. The $T_{\rm R}$ interaction which we find is very different from that proposed elsewhere, both real and imaginary parts being very different for odd and even parity channels.

Understanding and modelling failure of laminated composites
Creators: name: Gutkin, Renaud
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis, experimental investigations together with analytical and numerical work on the understanding and modelling of failure in laminated composites are presented. Failure of carbon fibre reinforced plastics is investigated using acoustic emission. Signals are collected for various test configurations which give rise to specific failure modes. The signals are then analysed using pattern recognition techniques and the fast Fourier transform. An identi cation of the failure modes with their acoustic signatures is proposed using the fast Fourier transform, which was found to be the most suitable technique. The failure modes in longitudinal compression are then studied using microscopy techniques and finite element modelling. Experimental observations show that failure results from an interaction between shear-driven compressive failure and kinkband formation. Micromechanical finite element analyses are used to explain the experimental observations. The interaction of shear-driven compressive failure and kinking captured by the model is used to explain the variation in characteristics typically measured in failure envelopes for combined longitudinal compression vs. in-plane shear. Based on the experimental and the numerical results, a failure criterion for fibre kinking and splitting is developed and used to predict failure envelopes for combined longitudinal compression vs. in-plane shear. The model correlates well with the numerical predictions and experimental results. The R-curve effect observed in mode I intralaminar matrix crack growth and its specimen-dependence are then investigated. Relationships between crack extension and crack opening displacement are obtained for the Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) and Compact Tension (CT) specimens. Measured R-curves are used with the previous relationships to define a trilinear cohesive law. The cohesive law is implemented in finite element models and the load versus displacement curves predicted for the DCB and CT specimens show that the R-curve effect is numerically well captured.

description: On an explicit example of the Siegel superparticle we study an alternative to the harmonic superspace approach. The latter seems to be the only method for quantizing infinitely reducible first class constraints currently available. In an appropriately extended phase space, the infinite ghost tower is effectively canceled by that coming from the sector of auxiliary variables. After a proper BRST treatment the theory proves to be of rank two which correlates well with the results obtained earlier within the framework of the harmonic superspace approach. The advantage of the novel technique, however, is the existence of an explicit Lagrangian formulation and the standard spin--statistics relations which hold for all the variables involved.

description: In this work, a model for the n p --> d (pi pi) reaction is developed. It is shown that the structure of the deuteron momentum spectra for a neutron beam momentum of 1.46 GeV can be explained as a consequence of the interplay of two mechanisms involving the excitation of the N^*(1440) resonance and its subsequent decay into N (pi pi)^{T=0}_{S-wave} and Delta pi respectively. The relevance of the present analysis for the study of the Roper excitation and decay properties, as well as for the interpretation of other two-pion production experiments is discussed.

Joint inversion of seismic PP- and PS-waves in the ray parameter domain
Creators: name: Zhang, Feng
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Seismic inversion is a quantitative analysis technique in reservoir geophysics to reveal subsurface physical properties from surface-recorded seismic data. But the most widely used inversion in oil and gas exploration for decades is PP-wave based. P-to-S converted wave, which has shown great success in the imaging of gas clouds, has a different response to rocks and pore-fluids from the PP-wave. A joint use of the PS-wave and PP-wave in the inversion can reduce the ill-posedness of the inverse problem and in particular enables simultaneous inversion for three independent elastic parameters. Conventionally, prestack seismic inversion is based on the incidence angle-dependent reflection coefficients. In my research, I define the seismic reflections and impedances along the ray paths of wave propagation, and these ray paths obey Snell’s law. I adopt the ray-impedance concept, which is a frequency-dependent parameter and is sensitive to fluid contents. Joined interpretation of PP- and PS-wave ray impedances can identify reservoirs, and also has potential in fluid discrimination. Joint inversion of PP- and PS-waves is performed on the constant ray parameter (CRP) profiles. For a constant ray parameter, a pair of PP- and PS-wave traces has exactly the same ray path between the source and the reflection point, which means the PP- and PS-wave reflection events represent exactly the same reflection point, in the horizontal direction. Therefore, PP and PS-wave calibration transforms PS-wave reflection events from PS-wave time to the corresponding PP-wave time, and reflections events in a pair of PP- and calibrated PS-wave traces with a constant ray parameter should correspond to each other, sample by sample, both horizontally and vertically. I also present a procedure which preserves the original wavelets in the transformed PS-wave trace. I use a bending ray-tracing method to construct the common image point (CIP) gathers in the ray-parameter domain. I estimate mixed-phase wavelets for each constant ray-parameter (CRP) profile through a frequency domain high-order statistical method, and then invert for the reflectivity series using weighted constraints. From the reflectivity sections, I estimate PP- and PS-wave ray impedances separately and also estimate three elastic parameters simultaneously in a joint inversion. I have applied the entire procedure to a couple of field data sets, to verify the robustness and effectiveness of the method, and to demonstrate the great potential of joint inversion in ray-parameter domain.

She explains the different methods for acquiring and using opiates, and the distinction between "street" addicts and "medical" addicts. She discusses how she received heroin through her friend who was a registered nurse, and delves into how doctors and nurses often functioned as conduits to drug use
Nonlinear couplings and tree amplitudes in gauge theories

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Following a remark advanced by Feynman,we study the connection between the form of the nonlinear vertices involving gauge particles and the Abelian gauge invariance of physical tree amplitudes. We show that this requirement, together with some natural assumptions, fixes uniquely the structure of the Yang-Mills theory. However, the constraints imposed by the above property are not sufficient to single out the gauge theory of gravitation.

description: On December 14, 1987, Regional Environmental Consultants (RECON) conducted archaeological surveys of two proposed Salt River Project substation sites, the Seaton/Farnsworth and Spurlock Substations. The Seaton/Farnsworth site is located along Southern Avenue just west of Signal Butte Road in Mesa, Arizona, and the Spurlock site is situated in an undeveloped area about 0.25 mile north and east of U.S. Highway 89, approximately 6.5 miles east-southeast of Apache Junction, Arizona. This report describes the results of these surveys.

description: Magnetization reversal in permanent magnets occurs by the nucleation and expansion of reversed domains. Micromagnetic theory offers the possibility to localize the spots within the complex structure of the magnet where magnetization reversal starts. We compute maps of the local nucleation field in a Nd2Fe14B permanent magnet using a model order reduction approach. Considering thermal fluctuations in numerical micromagnetics we can also quantify the reduction of the coercive field due to thermal activation. However, the major reduction of the coercive field is caused by the soft magnetic grain boundary phases and misorientation if there is no surface damage.

description: Motivated by recent experimental work on multicomponent lipid membranes supported by colloidal scaffolds, we report an exhaustive theoretical investigation of the equilibrium configurations of binary mixtures on curved substrates. Starting from the Jülicher-Lipowsky generalization of the Canham-Helfrich free energy to multicomponent membranes, we derive a number of exact relations governing the structure of an interface separating two lipid phases on arbitrarily shaped substrates and its stability. We then restrict our analysis to four classes of surfaces of both applied and conceptual interest: the sphere, axisymmetric surfaces, minimal surfaces and developable surfaces. For each class we investigate how the structure of the geometry and topology of the interface is affected by the shape of the substrate and we make various testable predictions. Our work sheds light on the subtle interaction mechanism between membrane shape and its chemical composition and provides a solid framework for interpreting results from experiments on supported lipid bilayers.

SELF-DUAL NON-ABELIAN VORTICES IN A $\PHI^2$ CHERN-SIMONS THEORY

description: We study a non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory in $ 2+ 1$ dimensions with the inclusion of an anomalous magnetic interaction. For a particular relation between the Chern-Simons (CS) mass and the anomalous magnetic coupling the equations for the gauge fields reduce from second- to first order differential equations of the pure CS type. We derive the Bogomol'nyi-type or self-dual equations for a $\bphi^2$ scalar potential, when the scalar and topological masses are equal. The corresponding vortex solutions carry magnetic flux that is not quantized due to the non-toplogical nature of the solitons. However, as a consequence of the quantization of the CS term, both the electric charge and angular momentum are quantized.

The light CP-even MSSM Higgs mass resummed to fourth logarithmic order

description: We present the calculation of the light neutral CP-even Higgs mass in the MSSM for a heavy SUSY spectrum by resumming enhanced terms through fourth logarithmic order (N$^3$LL), keeping terms of leading order in the top Yukawa coupling $α_t$, and NNLO in the strong coupling $α_s$. To this goal, the three-loop matching coefficient for the quartic Higgs coupling of the SM to the MSSM is derived to order $α_t^2α_s^2$ by comparing the perturbative EFT to the fixed-order expression for the Higgs mass. The new matching coefficient is made available through an updated version of the program Himalaya. Numerical effects of the higher-order resummation are studied using specific examples, and sources of theoretical uncertainty on this result are discussed.
