description: We calculate the scalar and tensor charges of the nucleon in 2+1-flavor lattice QCD, for which the systematics of the renormalization of the disconnected diagram is well controlled. Numerical simulations are performed at a single lattice spacing a = 0.11 fm. We simulate four pion masses, which cover a range of $m_π\sim$ 290 - 540 MeV, and a single strange quark mass close to its physical value. The statistical accuracy is improved by employing the so-called low-mode averaging technique and the truncated solver method. We study up, down, and strange quark contributions to the nucleon charges by calculating disconnected diagrams using the all-to-all quark propagator. Chiral symmetry is exactly preserved by using the overlap quark action to avoid operator mixing among different flavors, which complicates the renormalization of scalar and tensor matrix elements and leads to possibly large contamination to the small strange quark contributions. We also study the nucleon axial charge with contribution from the disconnected diagram. Our results are in reasonable agreement with experiments and previous lattice studies.

description: Leksell Gamma Knife is a stereotactic radiosurgery system that allows fine-grained control of the delivered dose distribution. We describe a new inverse planning approach that both resolves shortcomings of earlier approaches and unlocks new capabilities. We fix the isocenter positions and perform sector-duration optimization using linear programming, and study the effect of beam-on time penalization on the trade-off between beam-on time and plan quality. We also describe two techniques that reduce the problem size and thus further reduce the solution time: dualization and representative subsampling. The beam-on time penalization reduces the beam-on time by a factor 2-3 compared with the naive alternative. Dualization and representative subsampling each leads to optimization time-savings by a factor 5-20. Overall, we find in a comparison with 75 clinical plans that we can always find plans with similar coverage and better selectivity and beam-on time. In 44 of these, we can even find a plan that also has better gradient index. On a standard GammaPlan workstation, the optimization times ranged from 2.3 to 26 s with a median time of 5.7 s. In conclusion, we present a combination of techniques that enables sector-duration optimization in a clinically feasible time frame.

Modelling the relationship between multi-channel retail and personal mobility behaviour
Creators: name: Suel, Esra
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The nature of shopping activity is changing in response to innovation in retailing and the growth in online channels. There is a growing interest from transport researchers, policy makers, marketing and retail businesses in understanding the implications of this change. However, existing tools and techniques developed for analysing behaviour in traditional retail environments do not adequately represent emerging complexities resulting from digital innovation. The overarching goal of this research is to advance the development of new modelling and data collection tools for studying choice behaviour in today’s increasingly complex retail environments. While data collection and empirical applications relate to grocery shopping in London, the conceptual discussions and modelling frameworks developed are generalisable to all shopping activity. The contributions of the presented work are at three levels. First, a comprehensive conceptual framework was developed incorporating interactions between multiple agents that drive the transformation of the industry, and individual choice behaviour within this broader perspective. Secondly, it is a significant challenge for researchers to find appropriate data sets, which combine travel and shopping related information and also capture online activity. For empirical applications here, an augmented version of a widely accepted revealed preference consumer panel data was used in together with API based data mining tools that offer great potential for enrichment in discrete choice modelling. Third, discrete choice models were developed using gathered data for the joint choice of channel, shopping destination, and travel mode. This extension to traditional destination and mode choice models is critical as it provides the tools to quantify the effects of increased online shopping on traditional store formats and travel patterns. Results revealed important insights into how shoppers choose from online and in-store alternatives, and how mode choice fits in with these decisions. During our study we also identified and explored substantial limitations in empirical applications of discrete choice models. We analysed issues of identification caused by sample size constraints, potential estimation bias due to potentially restricting choice set generation assumptions, and challenges that arise when newly introduced innovative alternatives show low-adoption rates.

description: This paper describes the methods used to obtain the spectroscopic data and construct redshift catalogs for the Canada-France deep Redshift Survey (CFRS). The full data set consists of more than one thousand spectra, of objects with 17.5 < I_{AB} < 22.5, obtained from deep multi-slit data with the MARLIN and MOS-SIS spectrographs at the CFHT. The final spectroscopic catalog contains 200 stars, 591 galaxies with secure redshifts in the range 0 < z < 1.3, 6 QSOs, and 146 objects with very uncertain or unknown redshifts, leading to an overall success rate of identification of 85%. Additionally, 67 objects affected by observational problems have been placed in a supplemental list. We describe here the instrumental set up, and the observing procedures used to efficiently gather this large data set. New optimal ways of packing spectra on the detector to significantly increase the multiplexing gain offered by multi-slit spectroscopy are described. Dedicated data reduction procedures have been developed under the IRAF environment to allow for fast and accurate processing. Very strict procedures have been followed to establish a reliable list of final spectroscopic measurements. Fully independent processing of the data has been carried out by three members of the team for each data set associated with a multi-slit mask, and final redshifts were assigned only after the careful comparison of the three independent measurements. A confidence class scheme was established. We strongly emphasize the benefits of such procedures. Finally, we present the spectroscopic data obtained for 303 objects in the 0000-00 and 1000+25 fields. The success rate in spectroscopic identification is

Modeling and skill assessment for robot-assisted endovascular catheterization
Creators: name: Rafii-Tari, Hedyeh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Endovascular techniques have been embraced as a minimally-invasive treatment approach within different disciplines of interventional radiology and cardiology. The current practice of endovascular procedures, however, is limited by a number of factors including exposure to high doses of X-ray radiation, limited 3D imaging, and lack of contact force sensing and haptic feedback from the endovascular tools and the vascular anatomy. More recently, development of robotic platforms have aimed to improve these practices by removing the operator from the radiation source and increasing the precision and stability of catheter motion with added degrees-of-freedom. Despite their increased application and a growing research interest in this area, many such systems have been designed without considering the natural manipulation skills and ergonomic preferences of the operators. Existing studies on tool interactions and behaviour patterns of operators have been very limited, and presently there is a lack of objective and quantitative metrics for performance and skill evaluation. This research proposes a framework for automated and objective assessment of endovascular skill, by measuring catheter-tissue contact forces and operator force/motion patterns across different skill levels, relating operator tool forces to catheter dynamics and forces exerted on the vasculature, and learning the underlying force and motion patterns that are characteristic of skill. Furthermore, a novel cooperative robotic catheterization system based on 'Learning-from-Demonstration' is developed, by utilizing a learning-based approach for generating optimum motion trajectories from multiple demonstrations of a catheterization task, as well as encoding the higher-level structure of a task as a sequence of primitive motions, to enable semi-autonomous catheter navigation within a collaborative setting. The results provide important insights into improving catheter navigation in the form of assistive or semi-autonomous robotics, and motivate the design of collaborative robots that are intuitive to use, while reducing the cognitive workload of the operator.
Self-energy driven resonance-like inelastic neutron spectrum in $s_{++}$-wave state in Fe-based superconductors

description: To elucidate the pairing states in Fe-based superconductors, we perform careful calculation of the dynamical spin susceptibility $χ^S(q, ω)$ at very low temperatures ($T \sim 1$ meV). The feedback effect on both the self-energy and $χ^S(q, ω)$ from the superconducting gap are self-consistently analyzed based on the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation. In the $s_{+-}$-wave state, which has sign-reversal in the gap function, $χ^S(q, ω)$ at the nesting momentum $q = Q$ shows a resonance peak even when the system is away from the magnetic quantum-critical-point (QCP). In the $s_{++}$-wave state that has no sign-reversal, $χ^S(q, ω)$ shows a large hump structure when the system is close to the magnetic QCP. This result confirms the validity of self-energy driven resonance-like peak in $s_{++}$-wave state proposed in our previous semi-microscopic study: The enhancement in $χ^S(q, ω)$ due to self-energy effect exceeds the suppression due to coherence factor effect near magnetic QCP. We stress that the hump structure in the $s_{++}$-wave state given by the FLEX method smoothly changes to resonance-like sharp peak structure as the system approaches magnetic QCP, which was not reported in our previous studies. The obtained $ω$- and $T$-dependences of $χ^S(q, ω)$ in the $s_{++}$-wave state resemble to the resonance-like feature in inelastic neutron scattering spectra recently observed in Na(Fe,Co)As and FeSe

description: We present a catalogue of H-band spectra for 85 stars of approximately solar abundance observed at a resolving power of 3000 with the KPNO Mayall 4m FTS. The atlas covers spectral types O7-M5 and luminosity classes I-V as defined on the MK system. We identify both atomic and molecular indices and line-ratios which are temperature and luminosity sensitive allowing spectral classification to be carried out in the H-band. The line ratios permit spectral classification in the presence of continuum excess emission, which is commonly found in pre-main sequence and evolved stars. We demonstrate that with spectra of R = 1000 obtained at SNR > 50 it is possible to derive spectral types within +- 2 subclasses for late-type stars. These data are available electronically through the Astronomical Data Center in addition to being served on the World-Wide-Web.

description: Video super-resolution (VSR) has become one of the most critical problems in video processing. In the deep learning literature, recent works have shown the benefits of using adversarial-based and perceptual losses to improve the performance on various image restoration tasks; however, these have yet to be applied for video super-resolution. In this work, we propose a Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)-based formulation for VSR. We introduce a new generator network optimized for the VSR problem, named VSRResNet, along with a new discriminator architecture to properly guide VSRResNet during the GAN training. We further enhance our VSR GAN formulation with two regularizers, a distance loss in feature-space and pixel-space, to obtain our final VSRResFeatGAN model. We show that pre-training our generator with the Mean-Squared-Error loss only quantitatively surpasses the current state-of-the-art VSR models. Finally, we employ the PercepDist metric (Zhang et al., 2018) to compare state-of-the-art VSR models. We show that this metric more accurately evaluates the perceptual quality of SR solutions obtained from neural networks, compared with the commonly used PSNR/SSIM metrics. Finally, we show that our proposed model, the VSRResFeatGAN model, outperforms current state-of-the-art SR models, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Multi-period whole system optimisation of an integrated carbon dioxide capture, transportation and storage supply chain
Creators: name: Elahi, Nasim
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is an essential part of the portfolio of technologies to achieve climate mitigation targets. Cost efficient and large scale deployment of CCS necessitates that all three elements of the supply chain (capture, transportation and storage) are coordinated and planned in an optimum manner both spatially and across time. However, there is relatively little experience in combining CO2 capture, transport and storage into a fully integrated CCS system and the existing research and system planning tools are limited. In particular, earlier research has focused on one component of the chain or they are deterministic steady-state supply chain optimisation models. The very few multi-period models are unable to simultaneously make design and operational decisions for the three components of the chain. The major contribution of this thesis is the development for the first time of a multi-period spatially explicit least cost optimization model of an integrated CO2 capture, transportation and storage infrastructure under both a deterministic and a stochastic modelling framework. The model can be used to design an optimum CCS system and model its long term evolution subject to realistic constraints and uncertainties. The model and its different variations are validated through a number of case studies analysing the evolution of the CCS system in the UK. These case studies indicate that significant cost savings can be achieved through a multi-period and integrated system planning approach. Moreover, the stochastic formulation of the model allows analysing the impact of a number of uncertainties, such as carbon pricing or plant decommissioning schedule, on the evolution of the CSS system. In conclusion, the model and the results presented in this thesis can be used for system planning purposes as well as for policy analysis and commercial appraisal of individual elements of the CCS network.
Single-channel enhancement of speech corrupted by reverberation and noise
Creators: name: Doire, Clément
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: When capturing speech signals using a distant microphone within a confined acoustic space, the recordings are often degraded by reverberation. This can have a detrimental impact on the quality and intelligibility of speech, especially when combined with acoustic noise. In recent years, there has been increasing demand for effective ways of combating the damaging effects of reverberation in applications such as hands-free telephony or hearing-aids technology. However, the task of providing a blind single-channel dereverberation method robust to high levels of noise and suitable for real-time processing remains a challenge. An important prerequisite for many single-channel dereverberation algorithms is the estimation of the acoustic parameters governing reverberation. In this thesis, a novel online method of estimating these parameters jointly with the interfering signal powers is proposed that is based on a combination of Voice Activity Detection and Extended Kalman Filters. This method is then extended to take into account the spectral structure of clean speech signals and to perform dereverberation by applying a time-frequency gain to the degraded speech spectrogram. The estimation of this gain is formulated as a Bayesian filtering problem conditioned on a Hidden Markov Model. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm in terms of speech intelligibility, a novel algorithm for measuring Psychometric Functions efficiently in listening experiments is presented. The algorithms developed are evaluated on both simulated and real recordings and are compared with existing state-of-the art alternatives.

description: We study spin systems which exhibit symmetries that act on a fractal subset of sites, with fractal structures generated by linear cellular automata. In addition to the trivial symmetric paramagnet and spontaneously symmetry broken phases, we construct additional fractal symmetry protected topological (FSPT) phases via a decorated defect approach. Such phases have edges along which fractal symmetries are realized projectively, leading to a symmetry protected degeneracy along the edge. Isolated excitations above the ground state are symmetry protected fractons, which cannot be moved without breaking the symmetry. In 3D, our construction leads additionally to FSPT phases protected by higher form fractal symmetries and fracton topologically ordered phases enriched by the additional fractal symmetries.

description: This paper is one of a series describing the Canada-France Redshift Survey (CFRS). It is shown how the shape of the continuum around the emission line can be used to distinguish between [OII] 3727 at z > 0.76 and H$α$ at low redshift in spectra for which only a single isolated emission line is visible. Based on this, [OII] 3727 is most likely to be the emission line in most of the single emission line galaxies in the CFRS. The statistics of the repeated observations are analyzed to derive an empirical calibration of the reliability of the spectroscopic identifications in the CFRS, to determine how often additional observations could lead to the identification of an initially unidentified object and to provide an estimate of the internal velocity accuracy. Finally, the results of spectroscopic observations of 413 objects in the 1415+52 and 2215+00 CFRS survey fields are presented.

Quantum steering ellipsoids
Creators: name: Milne, Antony
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Graphical representations are invaluable for visualising physical systems and processes. In quantum information theory, the Bloch vector representation of a single qubit is ubiquitous, but visualising higher-dimensional quantum systems is far less straightforward. The quantum steering ellipsoid provides a method for geometrically representing the state of two qubits, the most fundamental system for studying quantum correlations. This thesis constitutes a significant development of the steering ellipsoid formalism. As well as offering new insight into the study of two-qubit states, we extend this powerful geometric approach to explore scenarios beyond two qubits. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for when an ellipsoid inside the Bloch ball describes a valid (i.e. positive semidefinite) two-qubit state. Combined with the notion of ellipsoid chirality, this enables a geometric characterisation of entanglement. We find a family of "maximally obese" two-qubit states whose ellipsoids have maximal volume. These states have optimal correlation properties within the set of all two-qubit states with a single maximally mixed marginal. We study a three-qubit scenario and discover that ellipsoid volume obeys an elegant monogamy of steering relationship. From this we can derive the Coffman-Kundu-Wootters (CKW) inequality for concurrence monogamy, providing an intuitive geometric derivation of this classic result. Remarkably, we find that steering ellipsoids offer a fresh perspective on questions beyond quantum state space. Entanglement witnesses are also very naturally represented and classified using the formalism. This gives a physical interpretation to any ellipsoid inside the Bloch ball as a block positive two-qubit operator, which we may then classify further. We can also use steering ellipsoids to derive some highly nontrivial results in classical Euclidean geometry, extending Euler's inequality for the circumradius and inradius of a triangle.

description: We study the variability properties at radio frequencies of the jets thought to be typical of Active Galactic Nuclei, i.e. bulk Lorentz factor Γ~ 10, and incoherent synchrotron emission. We assume that the radiating electrons are accelerated at shocks within the jet, and that these shocks have a suitable (conical) geometry. In our framework, we can reproduce the variability pattern of Intra Day Variables (20% in less than 1 day) as long as the observed brightness temperature is T_B < 3x10^{17} K. The only stringent condition is an injection timescale of the perturbation shorter than the variability timescale; the geometric condition on the viewing direction is not especially severe, and agrees with the observed occurrence of the phenomenon. For higher values of T_B coherent processes are probably necessary.

description: We present a new quantum-limited Josephson-junction-based 3-wave-mixing parametric amplifier, the SNAIL Parametric Amplifier (SPA), which uses an array of SNAILs (Superconducting Nonlinear Asymmetric Inductive eLements) as the source of tunable nonlinearity. We show how to engineer the nonlinearity over multiple orders of magnitude by varying the physical design of the device. As a function of design parameters, we systematically explore two important amplifier nonidealities that limit dynamic range: the phenomena of gain compression and intermodulation distortion, whose minimization are crucial for high-fidelity multi-qubit readout. Through a comparison with first-principles theory across multiple devices, we demonstrate how to optimize both the nonlinearity and the input-output port coupling of these SNAIL-based parametric amplifiers to achieve higher saturation power, without sacrificing any other desirable characteristics. The method elaborated in our work can be extended to improve all forms of parametrically induced mixing that can be employed for quantum information applications.

stellar magnetic fields
O-type stars

description: Recent spectropolarimetric surveys have identified a subpopulation of O stars (<10%) that possess strong (0.1-20 kG), typically dipolar magnetic fields. These fields channel the stellar wind, which results in a dense magnetosphere that co-rotates with the star. As a result, magnetic O stars show spectral and photometric variability that is modulated by rotation. With new observations provided by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we can now study magnetic O-star variability at the sub-mmag level. In addition, the large sky coverage provided by TESS offers the potential to identify new candidate magnetic O stars for follow-up spectropolarimetric observations. Careful analysis of known magnetic O star TESS photometry is essential to understanding how to identify rotational modulation in the larger TESS O star sample. Here we discuss the TESS photometry of HD 148937, one of the few magnetic O stars with a reported rotational period (Prot=7.03 d) short enough to be detected in a single sector (~27 d). Additionally, we show analysis of the TESS photometry of the short period magnetic candidate Of?p stars in the Magellanic Clouds, which have been observed over many sectors. We discuss issues related to detrending and contamination in the TESS pipeline processed light curves and the subsequent impact on our efforts to identify new candidate magnetic O stars.
Anatomy of Eddington-like inversion methods in the context of dark matter searches

description: Irrespective of the dark matter (DM) candidate, several potentially observable signatures derive from the velocity distribution of DM in halos, in particular in the Milky Way (MW) halo. Examples include direct searches for weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs), $p$-wave suppressed or Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation signals, microlensing events of primordial black holes (PBHs), {\em etc}. Most current predictions are based on the Maxwellian approximation which is not only theoretically inconsistent in bounded systems, but also not supported by cosmological simulations. A more consistent method sometimes used in calculations for direct WIMP searches relies on the so-called Eddington inversion method, which relates the DM phase-space distribution function (DF) to its mass density profile and the total gravitational potential of the system. Originally built upon the isotropy assumption, this method can be extended to anisotropic systems. We investigate these inversion methods in the context of Galactic DM searches, motivated by the fact that the MW is a strongly constrained system, and should be even more so with the ongoing Gaia survey. We still draw conclusions that apply to the general case. In particular, we illustrate how neglecting the radial boundary of the DM halo leads to theoretical inconsistencies. We also show that several realistic configurations of the DM halo and the MW baryonic content entail ill-defined DFs, significantly restricting the configuration space over which these inversion methods can apply. We propose consistent solutions to these issues. Finally, we compute several observables inferred from constrained Galactic mass models relevant to DM searches (WIMPs or PBHs), {\em e.g.} moments and inverse moments of the DM speed and relative speed distributions.

description: Possible surface brightness selection effects in the redshift catalogs of the Canada-France Redshift Survey are investigated through comparisons of subsamples of the data. Our analyses demonstrate that the securing of redshifts is independent of possible biases arising from surface brightness effects and/or differing galaxy morphologies and orientations. The unusual geometry of the mask designs for our spectroscopic observations also do not produce any significant bias. There is however a bias at the highest and lowest redshifts, especially for absorption-line galaxies at z > 1 and z < 0.2, due to the adopted spectral range (4250A to 8500A). Apart from the latter, we conclude that our sample of identified galaxies is an unbiased subsample of the original photometric catalogue and is essentially limited by I-band flux density ($17.5 \leq I_{AB} \leq 22.5$). Finally, spectroscopic data for 273 objects in the 0300+00 CFRS field are presented.

Dust-plasma interactions In the plasma edge region
Creators: name: Cameron, Richard
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: This thesis concerns the interaction of small, particulate, solid matter - 'dust' - with plasmas, in the plasma edge region where such dust is commonly found. Dust in this region can have a significant impact on a variety of industrial plasma applications, and it is low-temperature industrial plasmas that form the focus of this work. A novel model for the sheath region at the edge of a plasma is proposed, to account for the loss of electrons at the plasma boundary. This is then compared to an existing Boltzmann electron model; significant differences are noted in the sheath structure, and consequently the charging and dynamics of dust in the plasma sheath. The effect of sparse ion collisions in the vicinity of a dust grain near the plasma edge is also investigated. The strong plasma flow in the edge region is found to significantly increase collisional charging of dust grains. Somewhat counter-intuitively, it is found that even sparse collisions can play a significant (and in fact dominant) role in the charging and shielding of dust grains at the edge of a plasma. The length-scale over which the charge on such grains is shielded by the plasma is found to be significantly less than the Debye length. Together, the altered grain charging and shielding behaviour have the potential to fundamentally alter how dust grains interact with edge-plasmas.

description: We have analyzed five ROSAT HRI images of the Crab Nebula spanning the years 1991 to 1997 and have found significant changes in the emission structure of the X-ray torus surrounding the pulsar. Certain regions increase in brightness by about 20% over the six years, while others show decreases in surface brightness. The origin of these changes is unclear, but a possible explanation is that the bulk velocity of the synchrotron radiating electrons has decreased on the order of 20% as well.

KN scattering amplitude revisited in a chiral unitary approach and a possible broad resonance in S=+1 channel

description: We revisit the $KN$ scattering amplitude in order to investigate the possibility for the existence of a broad resonance in the $I=0$ $KN$ channel around the energy of 1617 MeV with 305 MeV width. We use the chiral unitary model to describe the $KN$ scattering amplitudes and determine the model parameters so as to reproduce the differential cross sections of the $K^{+}N$ scatterings and the $I=0$ and 1 total cross sections up to $p_{lab} = 800$ MeV/c, from which inelastic contributions start to be significant. Performing analytic continuation of the determined amplitude to the complex energy plane, we find a pole for a broad resonance state. We point out that the rapid increase appearing in the $I=0$ total cross section around $p_{lab}=500$ MeV/c is a hint of the possible broad resonance of strangeness $S=+1$.
