Carbon nanotubes as fire gas sensors
Creators: name: Pearce, Ruth Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) possess properties that make them particularly relevant for sensing applications in both the gas and liquid phase. This study presents an evaluation of cheap readily available CVD grown MWCNTs for use as fire gas sensors. Current fire detectors exploit heat and smoke detectors and it is hoped that the inclusion of gas detectors will increase the speed and reliability of detection. In order to prepare a variety of different MWCNTs a range of CVD synthesis were employed including an injected catalyst method where MWCNTs grew in dense mats from quartz substrates, MWCNTs were also synthesised using a sputtered Fe catalyst layer with acetylene as the carbon source which enabled control over the positioning of the growth. In each case, the growth parameters were varied until aligned growth was achieved. Doping of MWCNTs was also carried out as this may enhance and enable some control over the electrical properties of the CNTs; nitrogen was also added as a dopant by including 1,4-diazine as a precursor, and the effects on morphology of the MWCNTs produced were studied. The chemistry of the surface is also known to affect the sensing properties of CNTs. A batch of MWCNTs produced via the injected catalyst method were purifed by acid reflux, base washing and high temperature vacuum annealing, then modified with platinum or palladium metal nanoparticles via a reduction of the metal salts under hydrogen. MWCNTs were also coated with the polymer polyethyleneimine and with copperphthalocyanine. Prototype sensor devices were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition of these modified MWCNTs, and gas testing was carried out with the gases NO2, NH3, CO, H2 and C3H6. The mechanisms of sensing were investigated by repeating the tests at different temperatures, which revealed which sensing mechanisms were dominant and responses were compared between the differently modified MWCNTs. Sensor response was also investigated with a series of vapours to probe the dispersive and polar interactions on the MWCNT walls.
Transition metal catalysts for the controlled radical polymerisation of vinyl monomers
Creators: name: Zanetti, Paola C
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The research described in this thesis concerns the synthesis of transition metal coordination complexes and their activity in the controlled radical polymerisation (CRP) of styrene, methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate. In the first, introductory chapter, the literature pertaining to the main reported CRP systems is reviewed. The second chapter focuses on a family of novel α-diimine Fe(II) complexes bearing a conjugated acenaphthene backbone. The ligand-dependent catalytic behaviour in the atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) of styrene is discussed, and the reaction conditions are varied to shed light on the system features. In the Chapter 3 the synthesis, characterisation and screening for reverse ATRP of the Fe(III) trichloride derivatives, as well as of two monodentate imino Fe(III) trichloride complexes, are described. A relationship between measured spin state and catalytic behaviour is highlighted. The fourth chapter reports the synthesis of bis-salicylaldimino Cr(II) complexes and their activity in the controlled radical polymerisation of styrene and vinyl acetate. The observed rearrangement of the latter monomer in the presence of chromium complexes is also examined. The fifth and final experimental chapter extends the studies carried out on bissalicylaldimino Cr(II) complexes to other transition metals, namely iron and cobalt. Chapter 6 gives the experimental details for Chapters 2-4. Crystallographic data for all X-ray diffraction structures presented in this thesis are collated in Chapter 7.

description: A basic version of the Pólya-Szegő inequality states that if $Φ$ is a Young function, the $Φ$-Dirichlet energy -- the integral of $Φ(\|\nabla f\|)$ -- of a suitable function $f\in \mathcal{V}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the class of nonnegative measurable functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that vanish at infinity, does not increase under symmetric decreasing rearrangement. This fact, along with variants that apply to polarizations and to Steiner and certain other rearrangements, has numerous applications. Very general versions of the inequality are proved that hold for all smoothing rearrangements, those that do not increase the modulus of continuity of functions. The results cover all the main classes of functions previously considered: Lipschitz functions $f\in \mathcal{V}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, functions $f\in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)\cap\mathcal{V}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ (when $1\le p<\infty$ and $Φ(t)=t^p$), and functions $f\in W^{1,1}_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^n)\cap\mathcal{V}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. In addition, anisotropic versions of these results, in which the role of the unit ball is played by a convex body containing the origin in its interior, are established. Taken together, the results bring together all the basic versions of the Pólya-Szegő inequality previously available under a common and very general framework.

description: The Quintuplet is one of the most massive galactic clusters known, but appears to host a diverse stellar population that is difficult to reconcile with an instantaneous formation event. We present HST photometry and VLT spectroscopy in order to improve observational constraints, finding the Quintuplet to be far more homogeneous than previously thought. O7-8 Ia and O9-B0 Ia supergiants form a smooth morphological sequence with a cohort of seven early-B hypergiants and six luminous blue variables and WN9-11h stars, which together comprise the richest population of such stars of any known stellar aggregate. No further H-free Wolf-Rayets were found, resulting in a 13:1 ratio for WC/WN stars. However a small population of late-O hypergiants and WN8-9ha stars was identified, while a subset of the supergiants are unexpectedly faint, suggesting they are both less massive and older than the greater cluster population. We find an impressive coincidence between cluster members preceding the H-free WR phase and the evolutionary predictions for a 60Msun star, suggesting an age of ~3.0-3.6Myr for the Quintuplet. Neither the late-O hypergiants nor the low luminosity supergiants are predicted; we suggest that the former either result from rapid rotators or are the products of binary driven mass-stripping, while the latter may be interlopers. The H-free WRs must have had initial masses >60Msun, but it is difficult to reconcile their observational properties with theoretical expectations. Since the WRs represent an evolutionary phase directly preceding core-collapse, they are are crucial to understanding both this process and the nature of the resultant relativistic remnants, providing unique constraints on the evolution and death of the most massive stars forming in the local, high metallicity Universe (Abridged).

description: The problem of radio wave reflection from an optically thick plane monotonous layer of magnetized plasma is considered at present work. The plasma electron density irregularities are described by spatial spectrum of an arbitrary form. The small-angle scattering approximation in the invariant ray coordinates is suggested for analytical investigation of the radiation transfer equation. The approximated solution describing spatial-and-angular distribution of radiation reflected from a plasma layer has been obtained. The obtained solution has been investigated numerically for the case of the ionospheric radio wave propagation. Two effects are the consequence of multiple scattering: change of the reflected signal intensity and anomalous refraction.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Roadmap to Thermal Dark Matter Beyond the WIMP Unitarity Bound

description: We study the general properties of the freezeout of a thermal relic. We give analytic estimates of the relic abundance for an arbitrary freezeout process, showing when instantaneous freezeout is appropriate and how it can be corrected when freezeout is slow. This is used to generalize the relationship between the dark mater mass and coupling that matches the observed abundance. The result encompasses well-studied particular examples, such as WIMPs, SIMPs, coannihilation, coscattering, inverse decays, and forbidden channels, and generalizes beyond them. In turn, this gives an approximate perturbative unitarity bound on the dark matter mass for an arbitrary thermal freezeout process. We show that going beyond the maximal masses allowed for freezeout via dark matter self-annihilations (WIMP-like, $m_{\rm DM}\gg\mathcal{O}(100~\rm TeV)$) predicts that there are nearly degenerate states with the dark matter and that the dark matter is generically metastable. We show how freezeout of a thermal relic may allow for dark matter masses up to the Planck scale.

description: This paper develops a novel, fully automated forecast averaging scheme, which combines LASSO estimation method with Principal Component Averaging (PCA). LASSO-PCA (LPCA) explores a pool of predictions based on a single model but calibrated to windows of different sizes. It uses information criteria to select tuning parameters and hence reduces the impact of researchers' at hock decisions. The method is applied to average predictions of hourly day-ahead electricity prices over 650 point forecasts obtained with various lengths of calibration windows. It is evaluated on four European and American markets with almost two and a half year of out-of-sample period and compared to other semi- and fully automated methods, such as simple mean, AW/WAW, LASSO and PCA. The results indicate that the LASSO averaging is very efficient in terms of forecast error reduction, whereas PCA method is robust to the selection of the specification parameter. LPCA inherits the advantages of both methods and outperforms other approaches in terms of MAE, remaining insensitive the the choice of a tuning parameter.

Mechanisms of Human Arm Motion Planning in the Presence of Multiple Solutions
Creators: name: Kodl, Jindrich
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: How do humans choose their movement and what are the mechanisms involved in motion planning? This thesis explores the interaction of the central nervous system (CNS) and the external environment, focusing on mechanism it employs for successful execution of fast, complex hand movements. Previous studies have generally assumed that the motion results from the optimisation of a cost function with single optimum. However, this task, similar to many day-to-day tasks, can be performed by more than just one solution. An environment was created that allowed for investigation of complex fast movements. Initially the subjects had to navigate through number of target confi gurations and their respective orientations. The results indicated that the subjects generally utilise multiple plans to achieve the same task. Further experiments presented subjects with alternative trajectories. The results show that the memory of previous motor exploration influences the choice of particular trajectory for explored and unexplored orientations, providing evidence for a motor plan. Analysis of solutions in diff erent directions shows that the choice of a plan depends on previous experience as well as characteristics of motion execution. This choice can be modelled as a Markov process that describes CNS' selection process and how exploration affects it. Considering the results, a computational model was developed, incorporating a set of patterns, which allow generation of successful movements despite large motor variability. A sequence of patterns, a plan, is first prepared and when the movement is executed, accuracy is realised by online prediction of the motion through forward model that utilises derived families of strokes for each pattern. The model takes the visual feedback and by interpolating the corresponding pattern strokes onto the completed trajectory predicts the future trajectory, applying corrective movements if necessary. Despite the feedback delay the outputs demonstrate successful recreation of the observed experimental results.

Genetic variation, growth and metabolic phenotypes in the longitudinal Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966
Creators: name: Sovio, Ulla Maarit Hannele
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have recently shown their potential in the discovery of genetic factors associated with common diseases. Genetic association studies including GWAS can be used to explore the role of genetic variation underlying the associations between birth size, growth and metabolic phenotypes such as adiposity, lipid and glucose levels and hypertension. The aim of this thesis was to 1) review methods for genetic association analyses, 2) fit models for growth measurements, and to investigate prenatal predictors of early growth and associations between early growth and adult metabolic phenotypes, and 3) to examine genetic variation underlying birth size, postnatal growth and adult metabolic phenotypes. The primary study population comprised Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966) members with DNA (N=5,753). Phenotypes included height/weight throughout childhood and adult metabolic phenotypes. Parametric growth curves were fitted to obtain peak growth velocities and timings of peaks and nadirs. These growth parameters were analysed in relation to birth and adult metabolic phenotypes and genetic variation. Meta-analyses of GWAS included samples with similar data. Shorter babies grew faster in length immediately after birth. Faster postnatal growth was associated with higher adult blood pressure and adiposity, independently of birth weight. Risk alleles at type 2 diabetes locus (ADCY5) were inversely associated with birth weight in a GWAS meta-analysis. Variants near BMI candidate genes LEPR and PCSK1 were associated with infant BMI. The established obesity locus (FTO) had a strong association with BMI after age 5 years. A GWAS meta-analysis of metabolic phenotypes suggested distinct pathways leading to the development of a metabolic syndrome. Adult height variants were associated with infant and/or pubertal height growth. The results suggest that foetal programming, growth acceleration and genetic susceptibility contribute to the associations between growth and metabolic phenotypes, and that some of the genetic effects are age-dependent.

description: Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) conducted archaeological testing and data recovery measures on five prehistoric sites near Apache Junction at the request of Mr. Kurt Kefgen of TRW/Mesa Safety Systems (TRW). The work was performed under an excavation permit issued by Arizona State Museum (ASM) in order to recover all significant information from these sites prior to the development of the state land by TRW. The five sites are located in Sections 7 and 18 of Township 1 South, Range 8 East. These sites are situated on a broad, gently sloping bajada that fans out to the southwest away from the base of the Superstition Mountains. This area is subject to extensive sheetwash and redeposition of sediments across the nearly level ground surface. While very little downcutting has occurred within Section 18, the southern half of Section 7 is heavily dissected by numerous washes that feed into Siphon Draw and some of these washes are over 2 m (6.6 ft) deep. The northern half of Section 7 is experiencing subsidence. Local vegetation belongs to the Lower Colorado subdivision of the Sonoran Desertscrub biotic community and is primarily characterized by creosote; ironwood, palo verde, and mesquite line the drainages. Two sites, AZ U:10:39 and 41(ASM) were slated for testing to determine if they were eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Three sites, AZ U:10:36, U:10:37, and U:10:40(ASM), were recommended as eligible and, therefore data recovery procedures were undertaken. The fieldwork was conducted by two crews, under the direction of Barbara Macnider and Dr. Richard W. Effland Jr., between December 27, 1989 and January 10, 1990. The testing crew consisted of Don Irwin (crew chief), Michael Dice, Sarah Horton, Greg McMullin, Paula McBrayer Eloise Pedro, Clay Starr, and Cynthia Williams. The data recovery crew included Kim Adams (crew chief), Michael Dice, Sarah Horton, Greg McMullin, Robert Mierendorf, and Eloise Pedro. Sixteen person-days were spent on data recovery and 25 person-days were spent on testing. The artifact and botanical analyses were directed by Jo Ann Kisselburg. Sarah Horton performed the ceramic analysis and Don Irwin performed the lithic analysis. Pollen analysis was conducted by Linda Scott Cummings of Paleo- Research Laboratories and flotation analysis was conducted by Johna Hutira of Northland Research, Inc.

description: The quantum theory of the Liouville model with imaginary field is considered using the quantum inverse scattering method. An integrable structure with nontrivial spectral parameter dependence is developed for lattice Liouville theory by scaling the $L$-matrix of lattice sine-Gordon theory. This $L$-matrix yields Bethe Ansatz equations for Liouville theory, by the methods of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. Using the string picture of exited Bethe states, the lattice Liouville Bethe equations are mapped to the corresponding equations for the spin 1/2 XXZ chain. The well developed theory of finite size corrections in spin chains is used to deduce the conformal properties of the lattice Liouville Bethe states. The unitary series of conformal field theories emerge for Liouville couplings of the form $\gam = π\fracν{ν+1}$, corresponding to root of unity XXZ anisotropies. The Bethe states give the full spectrum of the corresponding unitary conformal field theory, with the primary states in the \Kac table parameterized by a string length $K$, and the remnant of the chain length mod $(ν+1)$.

description: Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) exhibits complex polymorphic behavior upon crystallization. Computational modeling of polymer crystallization has remained a challenging task because the relevant processes are slow on the molecular time scale. We report herein a detailed characterization of sPS-crystal polymorphism by means of coarse-grained (CG) and atomistic (AA) modeling. The CG model, parametrized in the melt, shows remarkable transferability properties in the crystalline phase. Not only is the transition temperature in good agreement with atomistic simulations, it stabilizes the main $α$ and $β$ polymorphs, observed experimentally. We compare in detail the propensity of polymorphs at the CG and AA level and discuss finite-size as well as box-geometry effects. All in all, we demontrate the appeal of CG modeling to efficiently characterize polymer-crystal polymorphism at large scale.

description: We consider the speed of propagation of a {continuous-time continuous-space} branching random walk with the additional restriction that the birth rate at any spatial point cannot exceed $1$. The dispersion kernel is taken to have density that decays polynomially as $|x|^{- 2α}$, $x \to \infty$. We show that if $α> 2$, then the system spreads at a linear speed, {while for $α\in (\frac 12 ,2]$ the spread is faster than linear}. We also consider the mesoscopic equation corresponding to the microscopic stochastic system. We show that in contrast to the microscopic process, the solution to the mesoscopic equation spreads exponentially fast for every $α> \frac 12$.
description: v2 update: A new result is added covering the case $alpha < 2$ for the microscopic model. Further remarks and heuristic comments are added, including connections to other models. Many minor changes are made

description: Classifying the training data correctly without over-fitting is one of the goals in machine learning. In this paper, we propose a generalization-memorization mechanism, including a generalization-memorization decision and a memory modeling principle. Under this mechanism, error-based learning machines improve their memorization abilities of training data without over-fitting. Specifically, the generalization-memorization machines (GMM) are proposed by applying this mechanism. The optimization problems in GMM are quadratic programming problems and could be solved efficiently. It should be noted that the recently proposed generalization-memorization kernel and the corresponding support vector machines are the special cases of our GMM. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed GMM both on memorization and generalization.

description: This report presents the results of a cultural resource inventory performed by Lone Mountain Archaeological Services, Inc. under contract with Salt River Project for the Concho West Well Field Addition in southern Apache County, Arizona. The Concho West Well Field Addition consists of an expansion of the existing Concho Well Field, which serves Salt River Project’s Coronado Generating Station. The expansion will involve the construction of three well sites and the installation of a water transmission pipeline connecting the three sites to the existing well field. The cultural resource survey included both a comprehensive records search for previously recorded cultural resource sites within the vicinity of the project, and an archaeological survey of approximately 7 miles of linear right-of-way (72.4 acres) and four block parcels totaling approximately 94 acres. Of the 166.4 acres, 24.24 acres of the survey are located on Arizona State Trust Lands administered by the Arizona State Land Department and 142.16 acres are located on private lands.

description: The massively parallel nature of biological information processing plays an important role for its superiority to human-engineered computing devices. In particular, it may hold the key to overcoming the von Neumann bottleneck that limits contemporary computer architectures. Physical-model neuromorphic devices seek to replicate not only this inherent parallelism, but also aspects of its microscopic dynamics in analog circuits emulating neurons and synapses. However, these machines require network models that are not only adept at solving particular tasks, but that can also cope with the inherent imperfections of analog substrates. We present a spiking network model that performs Bayesian inference through sampling on the BrainScaleS neuromorphic platform, where we use it for generative and discriminative computations on visual data. By illustrating its functionality on this platform, we implicitly demonstrate its robustness to various substrate-specific distortive effects, as well as its accelerated capability for computation. These results showcase the advantages of brain-inspired physical computation and provide important building blocks for large-scale neuromorphic applications.

description: The star KIC 8462852 (Boyajian's Star) displays both fast dips of up to 20% on time scales of days, plus long-term secular fading by up to 19% on time scales from a year to a century. We report on CCD photometry of KIC 8462852 from 2015.75 to 2018.18, with 19,176 images making for 1,866 nightly magnitudes in BVRI. Our light curves show a continuing secular decline (by 0.023 +- 0.003 mags in the B-band) with three superposed dips with duration 120-180 days. This demonstrates that there is a continuum of dip durations from a day to a century, so that the secular fading is seen to be by the same physical mechanism as the short-duration Kepler dips. The BVRI light curves all have the same shape, with the slopes and amplitudes for VRI being systematically smaller than in the B-band by factors of 0.77 +- 0.05, 0.50 +- 0.05, and 0.31 +- 0.05. We rule out any hypothesis involving occultation of the primary star by any star, planet, solid body, or optically thick cloud. But these ratios are the same as that expected for ordinary extinction by dust clouds. This chromatic extinction implies dust particle sizes going down to ~0.1 micron, suggesting that this dust will be rapidly blown away by stellar radiation pressure, so the dust clouds must have formed within months. The modern infrared observations were taken at a time when there was at least 12.4% +- 1.3% dust coverage (as part of the secular dimming), and this is consistent with dimming originating in circumstellar dust.

description: SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants (SWCA), conducted a comprehensive Class III archaeological survey of expanded right-of-way at eight point-of-turn towers as part of ongoing cultural resources compliance for the Mead to Phoenix 500kV Transmission line project (Figure 1). These activities constituted only one phase of cultural resource compliance for this project undertaken by SWCA for Salt River Project (SRP). Other phases relevant to this project include relocation and re-evaluation (Anduze and Sorrel 1994) of sites previously recorded during survey of the Mead to Phoenix project right-of-way (Keller 1986); survey of construction access roads (Purcell and Chadderdon 1995); survey of additional cable-pulling towers in Arizona (Payton and Purcell 1995) and Nevada (Seymour and Purcell 1995); and monitoring of eligible archaeological sites during construction (Purcell 1995). Figure 1 illustrates the Mead to Phoenix project area. Construction of the Mead to Phoenix 500kV Transmission Line (Mead-Phoenix) began in January 1994 at the Westwing Addition to the Westwing Substation, located north of Sun City, Arizona. The eight towers investigated during this survey have already been constructed. Tower 727 is located in Yavapai County, Arizona. Towers 932, 973, 1003, 1046, 1066, 1067, and 1074 are located in Maricopa County. Each expanded right-of-way area surveyed is described below in Tables 1 and 2. Survey was undertaken under U.S. Department of the Interior (USDI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cultural Use Permit AZ-000114 (dated February 2, 1994) and Arizona State Museum General Survey Permit No. 94-9. Installation of transmission cable requires that the wire-spool truck be located a distance from the tower to which it is adjacent of at least four times the height of the tower, and in a location that is level, in line with the towers in the direction of installation, and a safe distance from existing high-voltage overhead cables. SRP has requested an 800-foot arc to provide sufficient space to accommodate these needs and avoid sensitive cultural and biological resources.

description: We describe numerical methods for constructing lump solutions in open string field theory. According to Sen, these lumps represent lower dimensional Dp-Branes and numerical evaluation of their energy can be compared with the expected value for the tension. We take particular care of all higher derivative terms inherent in Witten's version of open string field theory. The importance of these terms for off shell phenomena is argued in the text. Detailed numerical calculations done for the case of general $p$ brane show very good agreement with Sen's conjectured value. This gives credence to the conjecture itself and establishes further the usefulness of Witten's version of SFT .
