description: Recently a lot of progress has been made in deriving the heavy quark potential within a QCD medium. In this article we have considered heavy quarkonium in a hot quark gluon plasma phase. The heavy-quark potential has been modeled properly for short as well as long distances. The potential at long distances is modeled as a QCD string which is screened at the same scale as the Coloumb field. We have numerically solved the 1+1-dimensional Schrodinger equation for this potential and obtained the eigen wavefunction and binding energy for the $1S$ and $2S$ states of charmonium and bottomonium. Further, we have calculated the decay width and dissociation temperature of quarkonium states in the QCD plasma. Finally, we have used our recently proposed unified model with these new values of decay widths to calculate the survival probability of the various quarkonium states with respect to centrality at relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) and large hadron collider (LHC) energies. This study provides a unified, consistent and comprehensive description of spectroscopic properties of various quarkonium states at finite temperatures along with their nuclear modification factor at different collision energies.

description: Exposure to asbestos fiber is central to mesothelial carcinogenesis, for which iron overload in or near mesothelial cells is a key pathogenic mechanism. Alternatively, iron chelation therapy with deferasirox or regular phlebotomy was significantly preventive against crocidolite-induced mesothelial carcinogenesis in rats. However, the role of iron transporters during asbestos-induced carcinogenesis remains elusive. Here, we studied the role of divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1; Slc11a2), which is a Fe(II) transporter, that is present not only on the apical plasma membrane of duodenal cells but also on the lysosomal membrane of every cell, in crocidolite-induced mesothelial carcinogenesis using DMT1 transgenic (DMT1Tg) mice. DMT1Tg mice show mucosal block of iron absorption without cancer susceptibility under normal diet. We unexpectedly found that superoxide production was significantly decreased upon stimulation with crocidolite both in neutrophils and macrophages of DMT1Tg mice, and the macrophage surface revealed higher iron content 1 h after contact with crocidolite. Intraperitoneal injection of 3 mg crocidolite ultimately induced malignant mesothelioma in ∼50% of both wild-type and DMT1Tg mice (23/47 and 14/28, respectively); this effect was marginally (p = 0.069) delayed in DMT1Tg mice, promoting survival. The promotional effect of nitrilotriacetic acid was limited, and the liver showed significantly higher iron content both in DMT1Tg mice and after crocidolite exposure. The results indicate that global DMT1 overexpression causes decreased superoxide generation upon stimulation in inflammatory cells, which presumably delayed the promotional stage of crocidolite-induced mesothelial carcinogenesis. DMT1Tg mice with low-stamina inflammatory cells may be helpful to evaluate the involvement of inflammation in various pathologies.

description: In this paper we construct a $(2,2)$ dimensional string theory with manifest $N=1$ spacetime supersymmetry. We use Berkovits' approach of augmenting the spacetime supercoordinates by the conjugate momenta for the fermionic variables. The worldsheet symmetry algebra is a twisted and truncated ``small'' $N=4$ superconformal algebra. The realisation of the symmetry algebra is reducible with an infinite order of reducibility. We study the physical states of the theory by two different methods. In one of them, we identify a subset of irreducible constraints, which is by itself critical. We construct the BRST operator for the irreducible constraints, and study the cohomology and interactions. This method breaks the $SO(2,2)$ spacetime symmetry of the original reducible theory. In another approach, we study the theory in a fully covariant manner, which involves the introduction of infinitely many ghosts for ghosts.

The Machining of Polymers
Creators: name: Patel, Yatish
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Machining is a non-linear process and involves the consideration of variables such as inelastic deformation, high temperatures and contact conditions. This thesis focuses on investigating the contact conditions between cutting tools and polymeric materials during orthogonal cutting. A test rig has been developed to allow cuts to be taken from a rectangular workpiece, such that the rake angle (the angle of inclination of the tool surface) can be varied. In this work the rake angle was varied from -20o to 30o, and the cutting was performed at rates of 0.01ms-1 and 0.1ms-1 on PMMA, nylon 4/6 and nylon 6/12. As part of a round robin investigation, tests were also performed on HIPS, ABS and LLDPE. The experimental method developed required the measurement of forces in two directions (the direction of cutting, Fc and transverse to the direction of cutting, Ft). The rig allowed for the careful control of the depth of cut, h. After each cut, the thickness of the off-cut chip hc was also measured. A series of cuts were taken at depths varying between the range of 0.02mm to 0.25mm and the forces were measured. A cutting theory has been applied to the experimental data to determine the fracture toughness Gc, and the yield stress σY of the material. The Coulomb friction μ and an adhesion term, Ga representing sticking at the tool-chip interface, were also deduced. Independent fracture mechanics tests were performed at a range of temperatures and rates on the different polymers. Tensile tests were also performed, to compare standard values to the material parameters determined in cutting. The values of Gc and σY deduced were independent of the rake angle however, μ and Ga were not. The calculated values of Gc were typically within 5% of the standard values however, σY was found to be up to 5 times higher. The existence of work hardening is believed to be the cause of these elevated values. The cutting analysis was also applied to some previously published metal cutting data and produced constant values of Gc.

description: This work focuses on the performance analysis of short blocklength communication with application in smart grids. We use stochastic geometry to compute in closed form the success probability of a typical message transmission as a function of its size (i.e. blocklength), the number of information bits and the density of interferers. Two different scenarios are investigated: (i) dynamic spectrum access where the licensed and unlicensed users, share the uplink channel frequency band and (ii) local licensing approach using the so called micro operator, which holds an exclusive license of its own. Approximated outage probability expression is derived for the dynamic spectrum access scenario, while a closed-form solution is attained for the micro-operator. The analysis also incorporates the use of retransmissions when messages are detected in error. Our numerical results show how reliability and delay are related in either scenarios.

Pore-Scale Modeling: Stochastic Network Generation and Modeling of Rate Effects in Waterflooding
Creators: name: Idowu, Nasiru Abiodun
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Pore scale network modeling has been used to predict transport flow properties for multiphase flow successfully. The prediction is based on having geologically realistic networks that are computationally expensive to generate and normally represent only a very small section of the rock sample. We present a new method to generate stochastic random networks representing the pore space of different rocks with given input pore and throat size distributions and connectivity – these distributions can be obtained from an analysis of pore-space images. The stochastic networks can be arbitrarily large and hence are not limited by the size of the original image. The basic assumption made in the prediction of transport flow properties using most pore-scale models is that the flow is capillary dominated. This implies that the viscous pressure drop is insignificant compared to the capillary pressure. However, at the field scale, gravity and viscous forces dominate displacement processes. We develop a rate-dependent network model that accounts for viscous forces by solving for the wetting and non-wetting phase pressure and which allows wetting layer swelling near an advancing flood front. We propose a new time-dependent algorithm by accounting for partial filling of elements. We use the model to study the effects of capillary number and mobility ratio on imbibition displacement patterns, saturation and velocity profiles. We also investigate the effects of capillary number and mobility ratio on the water fractional flow curve, cumulative oil production and residual oil saturation for water-wet and mixed-wet systems. By using large networks we reproduce Buckley-Leverett profiles directly from pore-scale modeling thereby providing a bridge between pore-scale and macroscale transport.
Mathematical modelling studies of the role of superinfection and non adherence HIV disease progression and viral blips
Creators: name: FUNG, Chun Hai
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the impact of HIV superinfection (infection of HIV-positive individuals by a heterologous HIV strain after immune responses have been established against the first strain) upon HIV disease progression and viral blips, and the relationship between non-adherence to cART and the occurrence of viral blips. For these purposes, a mathematical model of HIV within-host dynamics with two strains has been developed. My results suggest: firstly, HIV superinfection in and of itself was found not leading to faster progression to AIDS; it is only superinfection with strains of a higher replication capacity that does. Secondly, it was found that superinfecting strains susceptible to the existing cART regimen cannot establish themselves in patients, while those resistant to the regiment will lead to treatment failure. Superinfection in either scenario will not lead to viral blips. Thirdly, the choice of sampling frame was found to have a significant impact upon the observed number and incidence of viral blips. Instead of calculating the incidence of blips from their observed number over a period of time, one should take into account the sampling frame and calculate the proportion of blips among the measurements made over that period. Fourthly, increased drug adherence three days before a clinic visit does not mask poor 6 adherence; regular consecutive non-adherence results in more blips than a random non-adherence pattern; and dose-timing variation around the regimen-prescribed time leads to more blips. Fifthly, the non-linear relationship between the proportion of measurements with detectable viral blips and the probable drug adherence of a patient, and how this relationship varies with the viral replication rate, are studied. This thesis improves our understanding of anti-HIV immune responses, refines our public health messages and provides us with indications of drug adherence through observation of viral blips with different sampling frames.
Numerical simulation of fracture pattern development and implications for fuid flow
Creators: name: Paluszny Rodriguez, Adriana
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Simulations are instrumental to understanding flow through discrete fracture geometric representations that capture the large-scale permeability structure of fractured porous media. The contribution of this thesis is threefold: an efficient finite-element finite-volume discretisation of the advection/diffusion flow equations, a geomechanical fracture propagation algorithm to create fractured rock analogues, and a study of the effect of growth on hydraulic conductivity. We describe an iterative geomechanics-based finite-element model to simulate quasi-static crack propagation in a linear elastic matrix from an initial set of random flaws. The cornerstones are a failure and propagation criterion as well as a geometric kernel for dynamic shape housekeeping and automatic remeshing. Two-dimensional patterns exhibit connectivity, spacing, and density distributions reproducing en echelon crack linkage, tip hooking, and polygonal shrinkage forms. Differential stresses at the boundaries yield fracture curving. A stress field study shows that curvature can be suppressed by layer interaction effects. Our method is appropriate to model layered media where interaction with neighbouring layers does not dominate deformation. Geomechanically generated fracture patterns are the input to single-phase flow simulations through fractures and matrix. Thus, results are applicable to fractured porous media in addition to crystalline rocks. Stress state and deformation history control emergent local fracture apertures. Results depend on the number of initial flaws, their initial random distribution, and the permeability of the matrix. Straightpath fracture pattern simplifications yield a lower effective permeability in comparison to their curved counterparts. Fixed apertures overestimate the conductivity of the rock by up to six orders of magnitude. Local sample percolation effects are representative of the entire model flow behaviour for geomechanical apertures. Effective permeability in fracture dataset subregions are higher than the overall conductivity of the system. The presented methodology captures emerging patterns due to evolving geometric and flow properties essential to the realistic simulation of subsurface processes.

description: Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) and ion-pair dissociation (IPD) processes of Difluoromethane (CH$_2$F$_2$) have been studied in the incident electron energy range 0 to 45 eV. Three different fragment anions (F$^-$, CHF$^-$ and F$_2^-$) are detected in the DEA range and two anions (F$^-$ and CHF$^-$) are detected in IPD range. Absolute cross-section of the F$^-$ fragment ion is measured for the first time. Three different resonances for both F$^-$ and CHF$^-$ ions and one single resonance peak for the F$_2^-$ ions are observed. Constant increase in ion counts above 8 eV incident electron energy indicates the involvement of IPD process. From the experimental observation, it is speculated that near 11 eV incident electron energy both DEA and IPD processes occur simultaneously.
Neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of the activation of group III metabotropic glutamate receptor in rodent models of Parkinson's Disease.
Creators: name: Chan, Hugh Hiu-Nam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Current therapy for PD is focused on dopamine replacement by the use of L-DOPA and dopamine agonists, which relieve the Parkinsonian motor symptoms led by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra par compacta (SNc). However, the long-term use of these agents could induce side effects and fail to slow down the progression of the nigral dopaminergic neuronal loss. Thus, there is an increasing demand for neuroprotective agents that can relieve the symptoms and alter the dopaminergic neuronal death in PD. Excitotoxicity, due to the excessive glutamate release from subthalamic nucleus (STN) to the SNc, could jeopardize the neurodegeneration in the SNc. Thus, the modulation of the glutamate could prevent the cellular loss in PD SNc. Accordingly, the selective ligands acting on metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) were proved to be anti-Parkinsonian in PD models. Furthermore, the group III mGluR agonist, L-(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-AP4), was proved to be neuroprotective in the 6-OHDA PD model. In this study, therefore, the subtypes of group III mGluRs, such as mGluR4, 6, 7 and 8, was examined in order to provide a more specific neuroprotection. Thus, N-phenyl-7-(hydroxyimino)cyclopropa[b]chromen-1a-carboxamide (PHCCC) and (S)-3,4-dicarboxyphenylglycine ((S)-DCPG) were utilized for the activation of mGluR4 and 8 respectively which are expressed prevalently in basal ganglia. Herein, the concentration-dependent and receptor mediated neuroprotection of PHCCC and (S)-DCPG against 6-OHDA toxicity in rodent model of PD were demonstrated. Furthermore, PHCCC and (S)-DCPG are neuroprotective when administered to animal systemically. Moreover, the neuroprotective potential of PHCCC and (S)-DCPG were putatively demonstrated in another PD model of lactacystin, an ubiquitin-proteasome inhibitor. In this study, we also reported the effect of PHCCC and (S)-DCPG on the glial cells involved in the PD models, elucidating the underlying neuroprotective mechanism of these ligands. Thus, mGluR4 and 8 may be a promising therapeutic target for further pharmacological development.

Random Forest and Support Vector Machines algorithms have become popular over the last few years and they are widely used for different stellar classification problems. In this article, we explore an alternative supervised classification method scarcely exploited in astronomy, Logistic Regression, that has been applied successfully in other scientific areas, particularly biostatistics. We have applied this method in order to derive membership probabilities for potential T Tauri star candidates from ultraviolet-infrared colour-colour diagrams.

description: There are at present two known string theories in $(2,2)$ dimensions. One of them is the well known $N=2$ string, and the other one is a more recently constructed $N=1$ spacetime supersymmetric string. They are both based on certain twistings and/or truncations of the small $N=4$ superconformal algebra, realised in terms of $(2,2)$ superspace variables. In this paper, we investigate more general possibilities for string theories based on algebras built with the same set of fields. We find that there exists one more string theory, based on an algebra which is not contained within the $N=4$ superconformal algebra. We investigate the spectrum and interactions of this theory.

description: In the last decades, dispersal studies have benefited from the use of molecular markers for detecting patterns differing between categories of individuals and have highlighted sex-biased dispersal in several species. To explain this phenomenon, several hypotheses implying mating systems, intrasexual competition or sex-related handicaps have been proposed. In this context, we investigated sex-biased dispersal in Armadillidium vulgare, a terrestrial isopod with a promiscuous mating system. As a proxy for effective dispersal, we performed a fine-scale investigation of the spatial genetic structure in males and females, using individuals originating from five sampling points located within 70 meters of each other. Based on microsatellite markers and spatial autocorrelation analyses, our results revealed that while males did not present a significant genetic structure at this geographic scale, females were significantly and genetically more similar to each other when they were collected in the same sampling point. As females invest more parental care than males in A. vulgare, but also because this species is promiscuous and males experience a high intrasexual competition, our results meet the predictions of most classical hypotheses for sex-biased dispersal. We suggest that widening dispersal studies to other isopods or crustaceans, differing in their ecology or mating system and displaying varying levels of parental care, might shed light on the processes underlying the evolution of sex-biased dispersal.

description: We investigate the origin of the type III (up-bending) discs based on a sample of 1808 galaxies from SDSS and a sub-sample of 286 galaxies with HI data from ALFALFA. We examine how the type III fraction f3, the fraction of disc galaxies which host up-bending disc breaks, depends on other galactic properties. We confirm that f3 strongly depends on the stellar concentration of galaxies. We find that HI-rich galaxies with low spins tend to have significantly more type III disc breaks than control galaxies, which are matched in concentration and stellar mass. This trend is independent of the existence of strong bars or environment of the galaxies. This result is broadly consistent with predictions from theoretical simulations, and indicates in-situ star formation fueled by gas accretion to be an important mechanism that builds the outer discs of type III galaxies.

description: The mechanisms triggering the emplacement of Cretaceous magmatic rocks related to Neo-Tethyan subduction in the southern Lhasa subterrane (SLT) remain controversial because geochronological, geochemical, and isotopic data from the Cretaceous magmatic rocks in the western portion of the SLT are lacking. This paper provides the first report indicating that the Dazhuqu hornblende gabbro and Xietongmen granite porphyry were generated in the Late Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma and ca. 68 Ma, respectively) in the western portion of the SLT. The Dazhuqu hornblende gabbro is characterized by high MgO, Na2O, Cr, Co, and Mg# values, enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREEs) and large ion lithophile elements (LILEs), and depletion in high field strength elements with no Eu anomalies. The Xietongmen granite porphyry displays high SiO2, low MgO, Mg#, Cr, Co, and Ni, enrichment in LREEs and LILEs, flat heavy rare earth element (HREE) patterns and negative Eu anomalies. Zircons from the Dazhuqu hornblende gabbro and Xietongmen granite porphyry display high positive εHf(t) ranges from 11.79 to 14.91 and from 9.05 to 12.38, respectively. The Dazhuqu hornblende gabbro was produced by the partial melting of 12–15% garnet peridotite in the depleted mantle that was metasomatized by fluids released from the dehydrating subducted Neo-Tethyan oceanic slab. This magma was then emplaced at an upper crustal depth of 5.3–7.0 km. The Xietongmen granite porphyry was generated by the partial melting of underplated basaltic crust during the subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic crust and formed in the presence of pyroxene, plagioclase, and minor hornblende in its magmatic source. In combination with previously published data from Cretaceous magmatic rocks in the SLT, our data suggest that the petrogenesis of the Dazhuqu hornblende gabbro was related to flat or low-angle slab subduction of the Neo-Tethyan oceanic crust during 109–97 Ma and that the formation of the Xietongmen granite porphyry was related to lithospheric delamination in the western portion of the SLT after ca. 68 Ma.

Wigner energy, odd-even mass staggering and the time-odd mean-fields
Creators: name: Satula, Wojciech
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Various properties of single-particle Hartree-Fock ground-state solutions in $N\sim Z$ nuclei are investigated. The emphasis is on a role of single-particle mean-field in odd-even mass staggering. It is shown that, unlike in traditional scenario originating from the Fermi gas or macroscopic models, the symmetry energy contribution to odd-even mass staggering is nearly cancelled by the contribution coming from the average level density. It allows to construct indicators probing both pairing as well as mean-field components to the odd-even mass staggering. The impact of the single-particle Hartree-Fock field on Wigner energy and residual $pn$ interaction in odd-odd nuclei is also discussed.

Supersymmetric sigma models and the 't Hooft instantons
Creators: name: Galperin, A.
name: Sokatchev, E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Witten's linear sigma model for ADHM instantons possesses a natural $(0,4)$ supersymmetry. We study generalizations of the infrared limit of the model that are invariant under $(4,4)$ supersymmetry. In the case of four space-time dimensions a background with a conformally flat metric and torsion is required. The geometry is specified by a single real scalar function satisfying Laplace's equation. It gives rise to 't Hooft instantons for the gauge group $SU(2)$, instead of the general ADHM instantons for an $SO(n)$ gauge group in the case $(0,4)$.

Channel Coupling in $A(\vec{e},e' \vec{N})B$ Reactions
Creators: name: Kelly, James J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The sensitivity of momentum distributions, recoil polarization observables, and response functions for nucleon knockout by polarized electrons to channel coupling in final-state interactions is investigated using a model in which both the distorting and the coupling potentials are constructed by folding density-dependent effective interactions with nuclear transition densities. Calculations for $^{16}$O are presented for 200 and 433 MeV ejectile energies, corresponding to proposed experiments at MAMI and TJNAF, and for $^{12}$C at 70 and 270 MeV, corresponding to experiments at NIKHEF and MIT-Bates. The relative importance of charge exchange decreases as the ejectile energy increases, but remains significant for 200 MeV. Both proton and neutron knockout cross sections for large recoil momenta, $p_m > 300$ MeV/c, are substantially affected by inelastic couplings even at 433 MeV. Significant effects on the cross section for neutron knockout are also predicted at smaller recoil momenta, especially for low energies. Polarization transfer for proton knockout is insensitive to channel coupling, even for fairly low ejectile energies, but polarization transfer for neutron knockout retains nonnegligible sensitivity to channel coupling for energies up to about 200 MeV. The present results suggest that possible medium modifications of neutron and proton electromagnetic form factors for $Q^2 \gtrsim 0.5 (GeV/c)^2$ can be studied using recoil polarization with relatively little sensitivity due to final state interactions.

description: Path integral for the $SU(2)$ spin system is reconsidered. We show that the Nielsen-Rohrlich(NR) formula is equivalent to the spin coherent state expression so that the phase space in the NR formalism is not topologically nontrivial. We also perform the WKB approximation in the NR formula and find that it gives the exact result.

Elimination of thermal bistability in superconducting weak links by an inductive shunt

description: The quantum phase-coherent behavior of superconducting weak links (WL) is often quenched in the finite voltage state, due to the heat dissipation and related thermal hysteresis. The latter can be reduced by improving heat evacuation and/or by lowering the critical current, so that a phase-dynamic regime is obtained, albeit over a narrow bias-current and temperature range. Here we demonstrate that an inductive shunt with well-chosen parameters introduces unexpected nonlinear dynamics that destabilize an otherwise stable fixed point in the dissipative branch. This leads to a nonhysteretic behavior with large voltage oscillations in intrinsically hysteretic WL-based micron-size superconducting quantum interference devices. A dynamic thermal model quantitatively describes our observations and further allows us to elaborate on the optimal shunting conditions.

description: We study the renormalization of the Ricci curvature as an example of generally covariant operators in quantum gravity near two dimensions. We find that it scales with a definite scaling dimension at short distance. The Ricci curvature singularity at the big bang can be viewed as such a scaling phenomenon. The problem of the spacetime singularity may be resolved by the scale invariance of the spacetime at short distance.
