description: We show that the phases of the 4-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory are unambiguously characterized by the topological properties of minimal Dirac sheets as well as of monopole currents lines. We obtain the minimal sheets by a simulated-annealing procedure. Our results indicate that the equivalence classes of sheet structures are the physical relevant quantities and that intersections are not important. In conclusion we get a percolation-type view of the phases which holds beyond the particular boundary conditions used.

description: Abstract

The quantitative research approach with non-experimental descriptive design pretest posttest design with control group was adopted for the present study. After obtaining permission from the head of saveetha hospital, the study was conducted. A total of 120 samples who met the inclusion criteria were selected by convenience sampling technique. The investigator induced and explained the purpose of the study to the participants and written informed consent was obtained. The demographic data and the level of gestational diabetes mother was collected using self-structured questionnaire. After a period of life style intervention of treatment of mother b, the collected data were tabulated and analyzed by using descriptive and quantitative statistics. It is a good choice for this study because it allows us to collect data from many women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to test the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention for GDM. A sample of women with GDM was selected. A survey was developed to collect data on the women's lifestyle habits and their blood glucose levels. The survey data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The F value is 271.058 and it is more than the table and it is inferred that there is significant difference in the significant relationship between review check-ups on Health- related quality of   life.

description: We construct gauge invariant operators in non-commutative gauge theories which in the IR reduce to the usual operators of ordinary field theories (e.g. F^2). We show that in the deep UV the two-point functions of these operators admit a universal exponential behavior which fits neatly with the dual supergravity results. We also consider the ratio between n-point functions and two-point functions to find exponential suppression in the UV which we compare to the high energy fixed angle scattering of string theory.

description: In this paper we study the thermodynamics of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB)-AdS black holes minimally coupled to a cloud of strings in an extended phase space where the cosmological constant is treated as pressure of the black holes and its conjugate variable is the thermodynamical volume of the black holes. To investigate the analogy between EGB black holes surrounded by a cloud of strings and liquid-gas system we derive the analytical solutions of the critical points and probe the effects of a cloud of strings on $P-V$ criticality. There is obtained resemblance between "small black hole/large black hole" (SBH/LBH) phase transition and the liquid-gas phase transition. We see that impact of a cloud of strings can bring Van der Waals-like behavior, in absence of the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) counterpart. In the other words, in the EGB black hole with $α\to 0$ and when it is surrounded by a cloud of strings the Hawking-Page phase transition would be disappeared and SBH/LBH phase transition recovers. Also there is not happened Joule-Thomson effect.

description: Sustained rhythmic oscillations, pulsing dynamics, emerge spontaneously when the local connection scheme is randomised in 3-value cellular automata that feature"glider" dynamics. Time-plots of pulsing measures maintain a distinct waveform for each glider rule, and scatter plots of entropy/density and the density return-map show unique signatures, which have the characteristics of chaotic strange attractors. We present case studies, possible mechanisms, and implications for oscillatory networks in biology.

Why pulsars rotate and move: kicks at birth
Creators: name: Spruit, H.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: RADIO pulsars are thought to born with spin periods of 0.02-0.5 s and space velocities of 100-1000 km/s, and they are inferred to have initial dipole magnetic fields of 10^{11}-10^{13}. The average space velocity of a normal star in the Milky Way is only 30 km/s, which means that pulsars must receive a substantial 'kick' at birth. Here we propose that the birth characteristics of pulsars have a simple physical connection with each other. Magnetic fields maintained by differential rotation between the core and envelope of the progenitor would keep the whole star in a state of approximately uniform rotation until 10 years before the explosion. Such a slowly rotating core has 1000 times less angular momentum than required to explain the rotation of pulsars. Although the specific physical process that 'kicks' the neutron star at birth has not been identified, unless its force is exerted exactly head-on, it will also cause the neutron star to rotate. We identify this process as the origin of the spin of pulsars. Such kicks will cause a correlation between the velocity and spin vectors of pulsars. We predict that many neutron stars are born with periods longer than 2 s, and never become radio pulsars.

Expanding the Techniques and Indications for Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction
Creators: name: Kemp, Samuel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Patients with emphysema frequently complain of exertional dyspnoea despite maximal medical therapy. Destruction of the elastic tissue of the lung leads to enlargement of airspaces, small airway collapse, and progressive hyperinflation. This results in impaired respiratory mechanics and reduced inspiratory capacity, which together cause worsening dyspnoea and impaired exercise tolerance. Lung volume reduction surgery has been shown to improve lung function and exercise capacity in selected patients with upper lobe predominant emphysema by removing the most hyperexpanded areas of lung. However, there is a 5% mortality and considerable morbidity. Several bronchoscopic lung volume reduction procedures have been developed In order to achieve similar results without surgery. This thesis brings together a number of trials of novel devices or techniques designed to achieve volume reduction whilst reducing the risk of significant morbidity or death. Investigations of new treatment strategies and indications for the one-way endobronchial valves are presented, and the problems of collateral ventilation explored. Studies of bilateral incomplete lobar exclusion (no benefit seen in any measured parameter) and subsequent complete unilateral lobar occlusion (marked benefit in selected patients) are presented, together with a clinical review of single lung transplant patients with native lung hyperinflation with findings showing a range of patient responses and suggesting a larger prospective study should be undertaken. Techniques designed to either act independently of, or take advantage of, collateral ventilation are then investigated, with one novel approach being the use of autologous blood to achieve volume reduction. This technique uses no foreign implants, and could deliver dramatic cost savings. Overall short-term results presented here in patients with heterogenous emphysema are disappointing, but a potential signal for longer-term benefit is identified. Accessory airways allow venting trapped gas via non-collapsible artificial airways, using collateral ventilation to achieve whole lung deflation. Immediate results are dramatic, but the benefits are short lived with no difference in end-points between real and sham treatments, and attention to device design is needed. The most promising technique investigated in this thesis is the use of lung volume reduction coils, designed to achieve lung volume reduction by improving the elastic recoil forces of the lung, splinting open small collapsible airways, and improving lung mechanics. Significant improvements in lung function, exercise tolerance, and symptom scores over and above best medical care were seen at 3 months post-procedure with an acceptable safety profile, and longer term results are awaited.

A mathematical framework for the analysis and modelling of memristor nanodevices
Creators: name: Georgiou, Panayiotis S.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This work presents a set of mathematical tools for the analysis and modelling of memristor devices. The mathematical framework takes advantage of the compliance of the memristor's output dynamics with the family of Bernoulli differential equations which can always be linearised under an appropriate transformation. Based on this property, a set of conditionally solvable general solutions are defined for obtaining analytically the output for all possible types of ideal memristors. To demonstrate its usefulness, the framework is applied on HP's memristor model for obtaining analytical expressions describing its output for a set of different input signals. It is shown that the output expressions can lead to the identification of a parameter which represents the collective effect of all the model's parameters on the nonlinearity of the memristor's response. The corresponding conclusions are presented for series and parallel networks of memristors as well. The analytic output expressions enable also the study of several device properties of memristors. In particular, the hysteresis of the current-voltage response and the harmonic distortion introduced by the device are investigated and both interlinked with the nonlinearity of the system. Moreover, the reciprocity principle, a property form classical circuit theory, is shown to hold for ideal memristors under specific conditions. Based on the insights gained through the analysis of the ideal element, this work takes a step further into the modelling of memristive devices in an effort to improve some of the macroscopic models currently used. In particular, a method is proposed for extracting the window function directly from experimentally acquired input-output measurements. The method is based on a simple mathematical transformation which relates window to sigmoidal functions and a set of assumptions which allow the mapping of the sigmoidal to current-voltage measurements. The equivalence between the two representations is demonstrated through a new generalised window function and several existing sigmoidals and windows. The proposed method is applied on three sets of experimental measurements which demonstrate the usefulness of the window modelling approach and the newly proposed window function. Based on this method the extracted windows are tailored to the device under investigation. The analysis also reveals a set of non-idealities which lead to the introduction of a new model for memristive devices whose response cannot be captured by the window-based approach.

description: Lattice QCD calculation of s-wave hadron scattering lengths in the channels π-π, π-N, K-N, {\bar K}-N and N-N is carried out in the quenched QCD at $β=6/g^2=5.7$. A variant of the method of wall sourceis developed for this purpose, which reduces the computer time by a factor L^3 on an L^3xT lattice compared to the conventional point source method and avoids the Fierz mixing problem. A version of the method in which gauge configurations are not fixed to any gauge can be extended to calculate disconnected quark loop con- tributions in hadron two- and three-point functions. An analytical estimate of statistical errors for this method is worked out, and the magnitude of errors without and with gauge fixing is compared for the case of π-πfour-point functions calculated with the KS quark action. For π-πscattering both I=0 and 2 scattering lengths are evaluated using the KS and Wilson quark actions on a 12^3x20 lattice. For the same size of lattice, π-N, K-N and {\bar K}-N scattering lenghts are calculated with the Wilson quark action. For the π-πand π-N cases simulation results are consistent with the predictions of current algebra and PCAC within one to two standard deviations up to quite heavy quark masses corresponding to $m_π/m_ρ\approx 0.74$, while for the K-N and {\bar K}-N cases the agreement is within a factor of two. For N-N scat- tering simulations with the Wilson action on a 20^4 lattice with heavy quarks with $m_π/m_ρ\approx 0.74-0.95$, where the deuteron is expected to become unbound from a phenomenological study with one-boson exchange potentials, show that the nucleon-nucleon force is attractive for both spin triplet and singlet channels, and that the scattering lengths are substantially larger compared to those for the π-πand π-N cases even for such heavy quarks.

description: This article deals with the interplay between the rescaling processes of cities and pathways of asylum seekers’ integration. Building on scale theory and employing a downscaled mid-sized city in the Netherlands as a unit of analysis, two research questions are answered. Firstly, what kind of urban planning strategies do urban authorities of downscaled, midsized cities develop to rescale their cities? Secondly, how are these strategies related to the imagined pathways of asylum seeker integration? Here, the term ‘scale’ does not refer to an absolute ‘spatial object’ that is able to affect social reality. Rather, scales are socially produced through negotiation processes which are contested and heterogeneous. It is argued that Dutch urban authorities and housing corporations take a normative view of ‘pathways of integration’ and standardise these in terms of space, time and financing. By these socially produced scale processes, asylum seekers’ accommodation is well-managed, keeping the residents regulated and ‘in place’. Urban authorities utilise ‘scalar narratives’ to legitimate their interactions with asylum seekers and the way in which disadvantaged neighbourhoods in mid-sized cities are transformed. Using the Dutch mid-sized city Kerkrade as the case study, it is illustrated that local opportunity structures for integration are confined by (1) urban planning strategies mainly based on residential and tourism economies, (2) the perception of successful integration via a small-scale social mix within neighbourhoods, and (3) the neglect of public representation of cultural diversity.

Modular devices for sensor-based assessment and rehabilitation of stroke-impaired upper limb
Creators: name: Dailey, Wayne
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) is one of the leading causes of adult disability in developed nations, typically resulting in impairment in one of the upper extremities. There is a clinical need for both sensitive, repeatable motor assessment techniques and increased access to intensive physical therapy in the face of resource limitations. The Human Robotics Group has developed a System for Independent Task-oriented Assessment and Rehabilitation (SITAR) for upper limb rehabilitation which integrates low-cost instrumented objects that mimic the motions and manipulations used in everyday tasks. Analysis of force, trajectory, and acceleration data has resulted in new metrics that may correlate with, and ultimately enhance, standard clinical ordinal scales of assessment. This thesis presents preliminary validation and testing of instrumented key and box objects for fine manipulation tasks. The data from these experiments were used to develop metrics that can be investigated in future clinical trials with the SITAR. An instrumented stylus was developed to enhance SITAR's training functionality. The stylus can measure grip force, writing force, and kinematic information. The stylus is comparable to a typical marker with diameter of approximately 4 cm and is comfortable to hold. A simple exoskeleton mechanism to aid in hand opening is presented. The device is located on the dorsal side of the hand, causes minimal obstruction, and act on the proximal and medial phalanges to achieve partial hand opening and reduce complexity. The mechanism was manufactured for a single phalange for initial testing. Forthcoming assessment studies within a consortium of clinical partners will determine the feasibility of the SITAR system and identify key metrics for assessment. The devices and assessment metrics presented in this thesis will serve as building blocks for future SITAR assessment and rehabilitation studies.

description: A combined electrical and time-resolved optical investigation of the perovskite formamidinium tin iodide (FASnI3) and its phenylethylammonium (PEA) derivative PEA0.08FA0.92SnI3, which recently achieved a power conversion efficiency of 9%, is presented to study the specifics of contact characteristics and charge carrier dynamics. Microstructured gold electrode arrays were used to investigate the charge transport across a metal-perovskite interface and through micrometers of the perovskite films. Symmetrical contact configuration enabled detailed polarization studies. Hysteresis in the current-voltage characteristics and a corresponding current-time behavior indicated limitations by charge transfer in the contacts. Hysteresis was less pronounced in PEA0.08FA0.92SnI3 compared with FASnI3. This is explained by a 2-dimensional interlayer at the contacts, which leads to decreased field-induced migration of ions at the contact. Carrier recombination in the bulk of FASnI3 films, however, was only slightly modified by the presence of PEA. Femtosecond broadband transient absorption experiments up to 1.5 ns provided rate constants for the Auger and bimolecular recombination processes in FASnI3 of k3 = 1 × 10−29 cm6 s−1 and k2 = 3.1 × 10−10 cm3 s−1, respectively. In PEA0.08FA0.92SnI3, no significant differences in k2 and an only slightly increased k3 = 2 × 10−29 cm6 s−1 were measured. In extension to previous photoluminescence studies, we found efficient cooling of hot carriers by coupling to optical phonons (τcop = 0.5 ps), which is even faster than in lead perovskites.

description: In rheoscopic flow visualization, the working fluid is seeded with small reflective flakes that align preferentially in the flow due to their anisotropy. This leads to directed light scattering, which can be exploited to distinguish qualitatively different regions of the flow. For the past four decades, the gold standard in rheoscopic flow visualization has been Kalliroscope, a commercial product consisting of crystalline guanine particles. Recently, however, worldwide production of crystalline guanine has dropped precipitously, leading the Kalliroscope Corporation to halt production in 2014. Here, we present a short survey of alternative rheoscopic flow visualization techniques and introduce an inexpensive rheoscopic fluid based on stearic acid crystals extracted from shaving cream, which has a performance similar to, and in certain respects superior to, Kalliroscope.

Gauge Dual and Noncommutative Extension of an N=2 Supergravity Solution

description: We investigate some properties of a recent supergravity solution of Pilch and Warner, which is dual to the N=4 gauge theory softly broken to N=2. We verify that a D3-brane probe has the expected moduli space and its effective action can be brought to N=2 form. The kinetic term for the probe vanishes on an enhancon locus, as in earlier work on large-n N=2 theories, though for the Pilch-Warner solution this locus is a line rather than a ring. On the gauge theory side we find that the probe metric can be obtained from a perturbative one-loop calculation; this principle may be useful in obtaining the supergravity dual at more general points in the N=2 gauge theory moduli space. We then turn on a B-field, following earlier work on the N=4 theory, to obtain the supergravity dual to the noncommutative N=2 theory.

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics for high velocity impact simulations
Creators: name: Connolly, Adam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The subject of this work is the application of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method to modelling high-velocity impact dynamics. The first part of this thesis proposes an extension of the original first-order Godunov SPH scheme, for material with strength, to second-order in space using a time-splitting approach for the hydrodynamic and deviatoric components of the stress tensor. A non-linear slope-limiting procedure is used to extend the hydrodynamic component to second-order while the deviatoric component is discretized directly. Exact conservation of total energy is enforced in the new scheme using a time-centering approach for the velocity field. The new scheme is shown to perform well for a variety of one and two-dimensional fluid and solid-dynamics test cases. In particular, the numerical viscosity is shown to be lower than the original first-order scheme and particle clustering is less pronounced than in the standard artificial viscosity method. The second part of this thesis applies the newly developed SPH scheme to modelling high-velocity impacts on a synthetic porous poly-crystalline graphite material. In the course of investigation it was found that the applicability of the porous P - α equation of state is questionable for this type of graphite; an experimental investigation concluded that the assumptions required for the use of the porous equation of state are invalid. Therefore, an empirically derived polynomial equation of state is proposed instead. A widely used material model for brittle materials, based on the Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) approach, is used for the graphite deviatoric constitutive equation. In light of the time-splitting procedure, an algorithm for inclusion of CDM constitutive models was developed. Numerical simulations of high velocity impacts on the graphite material were then performed and compared with experimental results.
Cosmological Searches for Photon Velocity Oscillations

description: We posit a second massless photon, uncoupled to known forms of matter but undergoing Lorentz non-invariant velocity mixing with ordinary photons. Our speculation within a speculation suffers from the sin of implausibility but enjoys the virtue of verifiability. To avoid unacceptable distortion of the well-measured microwave background spectrum, the velocity difference of the photons cannot exceed $\sim10^{-32} c$. Stronger constraints (or observable effects!) can arise from optical measurements of distant sources.

description: The diamagnetic susceptibility of a superconductor is directly related to its superfluid density. Mutual inductance is a highly sensitive method for characterizing thin films; however, in traditional mutual inductance measurements, the measured response is a non-trivial average over the area of the mutual inductance coils, which are typically of millimeter size. Here we image localized, isolated features in the diamagnetic susceptibility of δ-doped SrTiO3, the 2-DES at the interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3, and Nb superconducting thin film systems using scanning superconducting quantum interference device susceptometry, with spatial resolution as fine as 0.7 μm. We show that these features can be modeled as locally suppressed superfluid density, with a single parameter that characterizes the strength of each feature. This method provides a systematic means of finding and quantifying submicron defects in two-dimensional superconductors.

description: The chiral extension of Quantum Chromodynamics (XQCD) adds to the standard lattice action explicit pseudoscalar meson fields for the chiral condensates. With this action, it is feasible to do simulations at the chiral limit with zero mass Goldstone modes. We review the arguments for why this is expected to be in the same universality class as the traditional action. We present preliminary results on convergence of XQCD for naive fermions and on the methodology for introducing counter terms to restore chiral symmetry for Wilson fermions.

Failure of Anisotropic Shales under Triaxial Stress Conditions
Creators: name: Ambrose, Jasmin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Shales are highly anisotropic in their mechanical behaviour. The strength of anisotropic shales depends not only on the magnitude of the principal stresses, but also on the bedding plane orientations relative to the principal stresses. In this study, the failure of shales are investigated using triaxial compression and extension tests, while the role of intermediate stress (sigma2) on the strength of anisotropic shale is evaluated using data from new triaxial extension tests, as well as data from the literature. Triaxial compression and extension experiments were made on two organic-rich shales, at different confining stresses and bedding angles (Beta). Examination of post-failure computed tomography (CT) and thin section images for high strength anisotropy shale show that, for large and small values of Beta, the fracture plane follows the angle that is predicted by the Coulomb’s failure criterion for an isotropic material. In the range of angles of roughly 35deg. 2 were fit more closely by the Pariseau model, whereas both shales that were a better fit with the JPW model had SAR < 2. Pariseau’s model is also more robust and accurate than Jaeger’s model when using a reduced numbers of data (i.e., data collected at fewer confining stresses and/or fewer angles). Finally, both the JPW model and Pariseau’s model was applied in the true-triaxial stress regime, in which sigma1 > sigma2 > sigma3. When analysed with Mogi’s experimental data on Chichibu Schist, both models could predict failure under true-triaxial stress conditions. Mogi’s data and the triaxial extension experiments for the two shales shows that an increase in the intermediate stress sigma2 increases the intact rock strength, whereas weak plane failure depends not only on intermediate stress sigma2, but also on bedding plane angle Beta and foliation direction (omega).
Evidence for a systematic offset of -80 micro-arcseconds in the Gaia DR2 parallaxes

description: We reprise the analysis of Stassun & Torres (2016), comparing the parallaxes of the eclipsing binaries reported in that paper to the parallaxes newly reported in the Gaia second data release (DR2). We find evidence for a systematic offset of $-82 \pm 33$ micro-arcseconds, in the sense of the Gaia parallaxes being too small, for brightnesses $(G \lesssim 12)$ and for distances (0.03--3 kpc) in the ranges spanned by the eclipsing binary sample. The offset does not appear to depend strongly on distance within this range, though there is marginal evidence that the offset increases (becomes slightly more negative) for distances $\gtrsim 1$ kpc, up to the 3 kpc distances probed by the test sample. The offset reported here is consistent with the expectation that global systematics in the Gaia DR2 parallaxes are below 100 micro-arcseconds.

description: Coherent phonon oscillations in the UV-Vis transient absorption and circular dichroism response of two chiral polyfluorene-based copolymer thin films are investigated. A slow oscillation in the hundred picosecond regime indicates the propagation of a longitudinal acoustic phonon with a frequency in the gigahertz range through cholesteric films of PFPh and PFBT, which allow for the optical determination of the longitudinal sound velocity in these polymers, with values of (2550 ± 140) and (2490 ± 150) m s−1, respectively. The oscillation is induced by a strain wave, resulting in a pressure-induced periodic shift of the electronic absorption bands, as extracted from a Fourier analysis of the transient spectra. The acoustic phonon oscillation is also clearly detected in the transient circular dichroism (TrCD) response of PFPh, indicating a transient pressure-induced shift of the CD spectrum and possibly also phonon-induced chirality changes via pitch length modulation of the cholesteric helical polymer stack.
