description: We surveyed well-acquainted dyads about two key moral character traits (Honesty–Humility, Guilt Proneness), as well as several other individual differences. We examined self-other agreement, similarity, assumed similarity, and similarity-free agreement (i.e., self-other agreement controlling for similarity and assumed similarity). Participants projected their own level of moral character onto their peers (i.e., moderately high assumed similarity), but were nonetheless able to judge moral character with reasonable accuracy (moderately high self-other agreement and similarity-free agreement), suggesting that moral character traits can be detected by well-acquainted others. Regardless of reporting method, Honesty–Humility and Guilt Proneness were correlated with delinquency, unethical decision making, and counterproductive work behavior, suggesting that unethical behavior is committed disproportionately by people with low levels of these character traits.

description: We introduce a family of sequence transformations, defined via partial Bell polynomials, that may be used for a systematic study of a wide variety of problems in enumerative combinatorics. This family includes some of the transformations listed in the paper by Bernstein & Sloane, now seen as transformations under the umbrella of partial Bell polynomials. Our goal is to describe these transformations from the algebraic and combinatorial points of view. We provide functional equations satisfied by the generating functions, derive inverse relations, and give a convolution formula. While the full range of applications remains unexplored, in this paper we show a glimpse of the versatility of Bell transformations by discussing the enumeration of several combinatorial configurations, including rational Dyck paths, rooted planar maps, and certain classes of permutations.

description: We study the effects of non-vanishing pseudoscalar masses in $τ$ decays into three mesons. The hadronic matrix elements are obtained by using the generalized structure of the chiral currents with nonvanishing pseudoscalar masses and implementing the low-lying resonances in the different channels. We demonstrate that suitable angular distributions are sensitive to the mass effects in the chiral Langrangian. Numerical results for the rele\-% vant structure functions are given for the decay modes $τ\rightarrow νπ^-π^-π^+$, $νK^-π^-π^+$ and $νK^-π^-K^+$.

description: To reduce general relativity to the canonical Hamiltonian formalism and construct the path (functional) integral in a simpler and, especially in the discrete case, less singular way, one extends the configuration superspace, as in the connection representation. Then we perform functional integration over connection. The module of the result of this integration arises in the leading order of the expansion over a scale of the discrete lapse-shift functions and has maxima at finite (Planck scale) areas/lengths and rapidly decreases at large areas/lengths, as we have mainly considered previously; the phase arises in the leading order (Regge action) of the stationary phase expansion. Now we consider the possibility of confining ourselves to these leading terms in a certain region of the parameters of the theory; consider background edge lengths as an optimal starting point for the perturbative expansion of the theory; estimate the background length scale and consider the form of the graviton propagator. In parallel with the general simplicial structure, we consider the simplest periodic simplicial structure with a part of the variables frozen ("hypercubic"), for which also the propagator in the leading approximation over metric variations can be written in a closed form.

description: We present a measure of the hard (2-8 keV) X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of Active Galactic Nuclei up to z~5. At high redshifts, the wide area coverage of the Chandra Multiwavength Project is crucial to detect rare and luminous (Lx > 10^44 erg s^-1) AGN. The inclusion of samples from deeper published surveys, such as the Chandra Deep Fields, allows us to span the lower Lx range of the XLF. Our sample is selected from both the hard (z < 3; f(2-8 keV) > 6.3x10^-16 erg cm^-2 s^-1) and soft (z > 3; f(0.5-2.0 keV) > 1.0x10^-16 erg cm^-2 s^-1) energy band detections. Within our optical magnitude limits (r',i' < 24), we achieve an adequate level of completeness (>50%) regarding X-ray source identification (i.e., redshift). We find that the luminosity function is similar to that found in previous X-ray surveys up to z~3 with an evolution dependent upon both luminosity and redshift. At z > 3, there is a significant decline in the numbers of AGN with an evolution rate similar to that found by studies of optically-selected QSOs. Based on our XLF, we assess the resolved fraction of the Cosmic X-ray Background, the cumulative mass density of Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs), and the comparison of the mean accretion rate onto SMBHs and the star formation history of galaxies as a function of redshift. A coevolution scenario up to z~2 is plausible though at higher redshifts the accretion rate onto SMBHs drops more rapidly. Finally, we highlight the need for better statistics of high redshift AGN at z > 3, which is achievable with the upcoming Chandra surveys.

description: Brain tumors are an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. They can be classified into distinct grades based on their growth. Often grading is performed based on a histological image and is one of the most significant predictors of a patients prognosis, the higher the grade, the more aggressive the tumor. Correct diagnosis of a tumor grade remains challenging. Though histopathological grading has been shown to be prognostic, results are subject to interobserver variability, even among experienced pathologists. Recently, the World Health Organization reported that advances in molecular genetics have led to improvements in tumor classification. This paper seeks to integrate histological images and genetic data for improved computer-aided diagnosis. We propose a novel Multi-modal Outer Arithmetic Block (MOAB) based on arithmetic operations to combine latent representations of the different modalities for predicting the tumor grade (Grade \rom{2}, \rom{3} and \rom{4}). Extensive experiments evaluate the effectiveness of our approach. By applying MOAB to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) glioma dataset, we show that it can improve separation between similar classes (Grade \rom{2} and \rom{3}) and outperform prior state-of-the-art grade classification techniques.
Suzaku observations of Markarian 335: evidence for a distributed reflector

description: We report on a 151 ks net exposure Suzaku observation of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 335. The 0.5-40 keV spectrum contains a broad Fe line, a strong soft excess below about 2 keV and a Compton hump around 20-30 keV. We find that a model consisting of a power law and two reflectors provides the best fit to the time-averaged spectrum. In this model, an ionized, heavily blurred, inner reflector produces most of the soft excess, while an almost neutral outer reflector (outside ~40 r_g) produces most of the Fe line emission. The spectral variability of the observation is characterised by spectral hardening at very low count rates. In terms of our power-law + two-reflector model it seems like this hardening is mainly caused by pivoting of the power law. The rms spectrum of the entire observation has the curved shape commonly observed in AGN, although the shape is significantly flatter when an interval which does not contain any deep dip in the lightcurve is considered. We also examine a previous 133 ks XMM-Newton observation of Mrk 335. We find that the XMM-Newton spectrum can be fitted with a similar two-reflector model as the Suzaku data and we confirm that the rms spectrum of the observation is flat. The flat rms spectra, as well as the high-energy data from the Suzaku PIN detector, disfavour an absorption origin for the soft excess in Mrk 335.

description: A phenomenological two-fluid model of the (time-reversible) spectrally-truncated 3D Euler equation is proposed. The thermalized small scales are first shown to be quasi-normal. The effective viscosity and thermal diffusion are then determined, using EDQNM closure and Monte-Carlo numerical computations. Finally, the model is validated by comparing its dynamics with that of the original truncated Euler equation.

description: We address the issue of the dynamical evolution of the Gliese 581 planetary system. It is crucial when considering the planets' habitability because the secular evolution of the orbits may regulate their climate, even in the case where the system is stable. We have numerically integrated the planetary system over 10^8 yrs, starting from the present fitted solution. In all cases, the system appears dynamically stable, even in close to pole-on configurations. Only a limited range of inclinations can be excluded. The climate on the planets is expected to be secularly stable, thus not precluding the development of life. Gl 581 remains the best candidate for a planetary system with planets that potentially bear primitive forms of life.

Aggregative Consequences of Removing Restrictions

description: Any change or sequence of changes in the operating responsibilities, rules, standards of performance, rights or prohibitions affecting the relative and absolute positions of banks and non-bank financial institutions has many consequences. Output, prices, employment, tax collections and budget deficits, relative rates of return on real and financial assets and other aggregate measures of prices and performance are affected. There are two principal reasons. (1) Every regulatory change alters the value of the charters of one or more of the various types of financial institutions and the costs and revenues of the firms in one or another branch of the industry. Virtually all financial institutions are regulated; all are restricted from engaging in some activities and, by various inducements, many are encouraged to engage in particular activities -- for example mortgage lending. Entry, branching, and merger are regulated, and the locations at which a particular institution is permitted to operate varies with both the operation and the type of institution. (2) Each of the principal types of financial institutions is subject to a different federal tax rate ranging from zero (for credit-unions) to a rate approaching the average corporate tax rate for commercial banks. In several cases, there are differences in the procedures for computing taxable net income. It would be more than usually heroic, powers or monopoly rights and privileges of the various types of institutions would have no Aggregate effect. It would be just as heroic to assume that total tax collections, in a multiple tax system, would remain unchanged in the face of changes in- the lending and borrowing powers and therefore the taxable income of particular types of institutions.

description: $η$ Carinae is a colliding wind binary hosting two of the most massive stars and featuring the strongest wind collision mechanical luminosity. The wind collision region of this system is detected in X-rays and $γ$-rays and offers a unique laboratory for the study of particle acceleration and wind magneto-hydrodynamics. Our main goal is to use X-ray observations of $η$ Carinae around periastron to constrain the wind collision zone geometry and understand the reasons for its variability. We analysed 10 Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations, which were obtained around the 2014 periastron. The NuSTAR array monitored the source from 3 to 30 keV, which allowed us to grasp the continuum and absorption parameters with very good accuracy. We were able to identify several physical components and probe their variability. The X-ray flux varied in a similar way as observed during previous periastrons and largely as expected if generated in the wind collision region. The flux detected within ~10 days of periastron is lower than expected, suggesting a partial disruption of the central region of the wind collision zone. The Fe K$α$ line is likely broadened by the electrons heated along the complex shock fronts. The variability of its equivalent width indicates that the fluorescence region has a complex geometry and that the source obscuration varies quickly with the line of sight.

Invariants of intermediate size, such as the mean, median, and mode factorization lengths are more subtle. We use techniques from analysis and probability to describe the asymptotic behavior of these invariants. Surprisingly, the asymptotic median factorization length is described by a number that is usually irrational.

description: We analyze the detection of itinerant photons using a quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement. We show that the backaction due to the continuous measurement imposes a limit on the detector efficiency in such a scheme. We illustrate this using a setup where signal photons have to enter a cavity in order to be detected dispersively. In this approach, the measurement signal is the phase shift imparted to an intense beam passing through a second cavity mode. The restrictions on the fidelity are a consequence of the Quantum Zeno effect, and we discuss both analytical results and quantum trajectory simulations of the measurement process.

Possible three-dimensional nematic odd-parity superconductivity in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The superconducting pairing in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is widely considered to be chiral $p$-wave with $\vec{d}_{\boldsymbol k} \sim (k_x + ik_y)\hat{z}$, which belongs to the $E_u$ representation of the crystalline $D_{4h}$ group. However, this superconducting order appears hard to reconcile with a number of key experiments. In this paper, based on symmetry analysis we discuss the possibility of odd-parity pairing with inherent three-dimensional (3D) character enforced by the inter-orbital interlayer coupling and the sizable spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in the material. We focus on a yet unexplored $E_u$ pairing, which contains finite $(k_z \hat x$, $k_z \hat y)$-component in the gap function. Under appropriate circumstances a novel time-reversal invariant nematic pairing can be realized. This nematic superconducting state could make contact with some puzzling observations on Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, such as the absence of spontaneous edge current and no evidences of split transitions under uniaxial strains.

title: John Donne and the Paradox: An Analysis of “Batter my heart, three-person’d God”
Creators: name: Daniels, Lily
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: A paradox is a statement that appears contradictory but ultimately makes sense. “Sonnet XIV: Batter my heart, three person’d God” (1632) by John Donne reflects the many paradoxes within the Bible and Christian faith. Read within the context of his religious beliefs and the rest of the Holy Sonnets, “Batter my heart, three-person’d God” is a poem that exhibits Donne’s theology of God and the process of salvation. The speaker affirms that the power of the triune God is required to break the bonds of sin. He finds freedom from sin in submitting to God’s will, and he finds innocence in God’s act of saving love (lines 13-14). In the Bible, there exists a tension between the holy nature of God who judges and the merciful nature of God who also saves. Similarly, in this poem, there exists a tension between conflicting poetic devices. Donne uses diction, sound devices and form, figurative language, and explicit paradoxes to illustrate these conflicting statements about the Christian life. Since the abstract meaning of words is more important than their literal meanings, the poem demonstrates that the speaker eventually understands these complex, theological concepts.
Essays on the oil and gas industry in Brazil: institutional deviances in petrobras
Creators: name: Martins Brelaz De Castro, Armando
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation is based on three interconnected chapters studying corruption in organisations and societies. Chapter two explores the growing body of work within the discipline of management on corruption and related issues, such as corporate misconduct and deviant behaviours. The review begins by building upon extant work in management, economics and sociology to take stock of extant work on analysing corruption, while identifying innovative ways to theorise and offer avenues for further research in the field of management. I advocate integrating rational and socio-cultural views and spanning micro and macro levels of analysis to improve our overall understanding. Ultimately, I aim to shed further light on corrupt practices and behaviours and propose a new research programme that includes a multilevel perspective on corruption. Chapter three focuses on corrupt nonmarket strategies adopted by immoral companies. I examine how different private organisations can maintain and sustain and enact corrupt nonmarket strategies over many years. Drawing on the theoretical lens of non-market strategies and institutional theory, I analyse data from the Car Wash operation; a corruption investigation that began in Brazil in 2014 regarding the oil and gas company Petrobras. I contribute to non-market strategy literature by identifying mechanisms of corrupt maintenance, identify the illegal institutional anchors of trust and by doing so, offer insights on how to fight institutionalised corruption. Chapter four focuses on the role of the context and how purposeful actors can disrupt even deeply entrenched practices. We continue to analyse the Car Wash Operation and its antecedents, the contextual enablers of change and the institutional influence of operation agents. We develop a model to explain how actors seeking institutional change are contextually empowered and their efforts yield breakthroughs, but only at certain points in time when the context is ‘ripe’ for change. Our findings contribute to both institutional theory and corruption literature

Monsieur et cher confrère,

Malgré votre modestie, malgré votre éloignement de la capitale, votre mérite reconnu parmi tous les savants vient de parler pour vous dans une occasion qui devait me lier à vous par un nouveau lien de confraternité, mais qui du moins m'a laissé les espérances les plus certaines pour la première place qui viendra à vaquer à notre académie. Vous savez, Monsieur, qu'il y a dans l'Académie des inscriptions des places d'associés libres. Nous venons d'en avoir une vacante à laquelle Monsieur de Pouilly, neveu d'un de nos académiciens, a été nommé mais j'ai eu la satisfaction de voir que ce n'était pas sans le regret de plusieurs de mes confrères qui s'étaient joints à moi pour vous donner leur voix. Vous en avez eu onze et ce qui achève de prouver la considération que l'on vous porte. c'est n'est qu'[fol. 176 v] après la délibération que nous avons prise de ne nommer dorénavant les associés libres que trois mois après la mort de celui à qui on veut donner un successeur. On a demandé, s'il était permis de proposer d'avance un sujet et comme il n'y a point d'opposants, Monsieur Duclos vous a sur le champ proposé à l'Académie qui touche unanimement a répété votre nom avec éloge. Monsieur Le Beau entre autres, qui sait l'estime singulière que j'ai pour vous, Monsieur, partage tous mes sentiments et tous les désirs que nous avons de vous voir un jour devenir notre confrère. Je sais, Monsieur, que ce n'est que vous rendre justice à demi, que votre mérite eut dû l'emporter sur tout autre concurrent ; malgré mon regret, je n'ai pu m'empêcher de me livrer au plaisir de vous marquer combien votre nom et votre réputation au milieu des gens de lettres et de vous témoigner en particulier l'attachement sincère et le respectueux sentiment avec lesquels j'ai l'honneur d'être,

Monsieur et cher confrère,

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

De Rochefort

description: We investigate sphaleron solutions of the field equations in the modified mirror model. This model is based on SU(3)$_1$ $\otimes$ SU(3)$_2$ $\otimes$ SU(2)$_L$ $\otimes$ SU(2)$_R$ $\otimes$ U(1)$_{Y}$ $\otimes$ U(1)$_{X}$ gauge group. Different from the usual Weinberg-Salam theory, we will have two types of fields, the ordinary (standard model) and its mirror partners. In this paper, we will focus only on the case when the doublet scalar of the mirror sector has a very large vacuum expectation value (VEV) compared to the VEV of the SM Higgs. We study two scenarios related to the sphaleron solutions in this model, depending on the value of the coupling $α$. For the case of $α=0$, each sector has its sphaleron and the sphaleron energy depends on the VEV of scalars for each sector. In the case $α\neq 0$, we find that the sphaleron energy in the SM sector can be either increased or decreased depending on the relative sign of the coupling $α$.

description: One of the most puzzling features of currency prices is the forward premium anomaly: the tendency for high interest rate currencies to appreciate. We characterize the anomaly in the context of affine models of the term structure of interest rates. In affine models, the anomaly requires either that state variables have asymmetric effects on state prices in different currencies or that nominal interest rates take on negative values with positive probability. We find the quantitative properties of either alternative to have important shortcomings.
Development and application of fluorescence lifetime imaging and super-resolution microscopy
Creators: name: Gorlitz, Frederik
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: This PhD thesis reports the development and application of fluorescence imaging technologies for studying biological processes on spatial scales below the diffraction limit. Two strategies were addressed: firstly fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to study molecular processes, e.g. using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to read out protein interactions, and secondly direct imaging of nanostructure using super-resolution microscopy (SRM). For quantitative FRET readouts, the development and characterisation of an automated multiwell plate FLIM microscope for high content analysis (HCA) is described. Open source software was developed for the data acquisition and analysis, and approaches to improve the performance of time-gated imaging for FLIM were evaluated including different methods to despeckle the laser illumination and testing of an enhanced detector. This instrument was evaluated using standard fluorescent dye samples and cells expressing fluorescent protein-based FRET constructs. It was applied to an assay of live cells expressing a FRET biosensor and to FRET readouts of aggregation of a membrane receptor (DDR1) in fixed cells. A novel instrument, combining structured illumination microscopy (SIM) with FLIM, was developed to explore the combination of SRM and FLIM-FRET readouts. This enabled the simultaneous mapping of molecular readouts with FLIM and super-resolved imaging. The SIM+FLIM system was applied to image collagen-stimulated DDR1 aggregation in cells, to image DNA structures during the cell cycle and to explore interactions between cell organelles. A novel SRM approach based on a stimulated emission of depletion (STED) microscope incorporating a spatial light modulator (SLM) was developed to provide straightforward robust alignment with collinear excitation/depletion beams, aberration correction, an extended field of view and multiple beam scanning for faster STED image acquisition. The performance of easySLM-STED was evaluated by imaging bead samples, labelled vimentin in Vero cells and the synaptonemal complex in homologs of C. elegans germlines.
The spectrum and term analysis of singly ionised nickel
Creators: name: Clear, Christian Philip
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The analysis and interpretation of modern astrophysical spectra requires accurate atomic energy levels and transition wavelengths. The iron-group elements are of particular importance for stellar and galactic evolution studies, and lines from these elements are found in spectra from a wide variety of astrophysical sources. Existing laboratory atomic data for the iron-group elements is often of poor accuracy or incomplete, with some analyses dating back over fifty years. For many elements, including singly ionised nickel (Ni II), the existing atomic data is insufficient for modern analyses. This thesis details the term analysis of Ni II, which aimed to produce accurate energy level values and transition wavelengths. High resolution spectra of nickel-helium hollow cathode lamps were recorded at Imperial College London and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST, USA) using Fourier transform (FT) spectroscopy. In addition to the newly recorded spectra, two archive spectra from the National Solar Observatory (Kitt Peak, USA) extended the nickel-helium spectrum into the infrared. The FT spectra were further supplemented with the acquisition of grating spectra recorded onto photographic plates at NIST. The total wavenumber range of the FT spectra used in this work extends from 1800 cm-1 in the infra-red to 68000 cm-1 in the vacuum ultraviolet, with grating spectra increasing this range to 130000 cm-1. Spectral linelists for the FT and grating spectra were produced. The FT linelist contains the transition wavenumber, signal-to-noise ratio, relative line intensity and full width at half maximum for each observed spectral line. The absolute wavenumber scale for the FT spectra was calculated from 26 singly ionised argon standard lines and gave a calibration accurate to 3 to 5 parts in 10^8, depending on spectral region. The term analysis of 1456 Ni II lines identified in the FT linelist led to the revision of 357 Ni II energy levels. The accuracy of the revised energy levels and transition wavelengths is at least an order of magnitude greater than previously measured values and now meets the accuracy requirements of astrophysicists.
The 26 year-long X-ray light curve and the X-ray spectrum of the BL Lac Object 1E 1207.9+3945 in its brightest state

description: We studied the temporal and spectral evolution of the synchrotron emission from the high energy peaked BL Lac object 1E 1207.9+3945. Two recent observations have been performed by the XMM-Newton and Swift satellites; we carried out X-ray spectral analysis for both of them, and photometry in optical-ultraviolet filters for the Swift one. Combining the results thus obtained with archival data we built the long-term X-ray light curve, spanning a time interval of 26 years, and the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of this source. The light curve shows a large flux increasing, about a factor of six, in a time interval of a few years. After reaching its maximum in coincidence with the XMM-Newton pointing in December 2000 the flux decreased in later years, as revealed by Swift. The very good statistics available in the 0.5-10 keV XMM-Newton X-ray spectrum points out a highly significant deviation from a single power law. A log-parabolic model with a best fit curvature parameter of 0.25 and a peak energy at ~1 keV describes well the spectral shape of the synchrotron emission. The simultaneous fit of Swift UVOT and XRT data provides a milder curvature (b~0.1) and a peak at higher energies (~15 keV), suggesting a different state of source activity. In both cases UVOT data support the scenario of a single synchrotron emission component extending from the optical/UV to the X-ray band. New X-ray observations are important to monitor the temporal and spectral evolution of the source; new generation gamma-ray telescopes like AGILE and GLAST could for the first time detect its inverse Compton emission.

description: Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is the macroscopic manifestation of the fundamental chiral anomaly in a many-body system of chiral fermions, and emerges as anomalous transport current in hydrodynamic framework. Experimental observation of CME is of great interest and significant efforts have been made to look for its signals in heavy ion collisions. Encouraging evidence of CME-induced charge separation has been reported from both RHIC and LHC, albeit with ambiguity due to potential background contributions. Crucial for addressing such issue, is the need of quantitative predictions for both CME signal and the non-CME background consistently, with sophisticated modeling tool. In this contribution we report a recently developed Anomalous Viscous Fluid Dynamics (AVFD) framework, which simulates the evolution of fermion currents in QGP on top of the data-validated VISHNU bulk hydro evolution. In particular, this framework has been extended to event-by-event simulations with proper implementation of known flow-driven background contributions. We report quantitative results from such simulations and evaluate the implications for interpretations of current experimental measurements. Finally we give our prediction for the CME signal in upcoming isobaric collisions.

description: We take dissipation into account in the derivation of the Casimir energy formula between two objects placed in a surrounding medium. The dissipation channels are considered explicitly in order to take advantage of the unitarity of the full scattering processes. We demonstrate that the Casimir energy is given by a scattering formula expressed in terms of the scattering amplitudes coupling internal channels and taking dissipation into account in an implicit way. We prove that this formula is also valid when the surrounding medium is dissipative.

description: Loan originators often securitize some loans in secondary loan markets and hold on to others. New issuances in such secondary markets collapse abruptly on occasion, typically when collateral values used to secure the underlying loans fall and these collapses are viewed by policymakers as inefficient. We develop a dynamic adverse selection model in which small reductions in collateral values can generate abrupt inefficient collapses in new issuances in the secondary loan market by affecting reputational incentives. We find that a variety of policies intended to remedy market inefficiencies do not help resolve the adverse selection problem.
