description: We describe the construction of an N-body simulation that mimics the true velocity and mass-density fields in a box of side 256\hmpc about the Local Group , and the production of mock catalogs that mimic in detail current catalogs of redshifts and peculiar velocities. Our main purpose is to provide a tool for developing and testing reconstruction methods, but the different components of the method can be used on their own in other applications. The initial conditions are based on the IRAS 1.2Jy redshift survey, assuming that galaxies trace mass and Ω=1. A density field smoothed is recovered from the redshift survey, using quasi-linear theory and a power-preserving filter. The corresponding potential field is traced back to the linear regime using the Zel'dovich-Bernoulli equation. Small-scale power is added by means of constrained realization to mimic fluctuations on galactic scales. The gravitating system is evolved forward in time with a PM code of 2\hmpc resolution. The result reproduces the real dynamical structures on large scales and the statistical properties of the structure down to galactic scales. "Galaxies" are identified via a linear biasing scheme (b=1.35) and they are divided into "spirals" and "ellipticals" to obey Dressler's morphology-density relation. The galaxies are assigned internal-velocity parameters and absolute magnitudes scattered about an assumed mean Tully-Fisher relation. They are then "observed" as magnitude-limited samples, trying to mimic the selection criteria of the data sets constituting the Mark III catalog of peculiar velocities. Artificial IRAS 1.2Jy redshift surveys are also compiled. The simulations and mock catalogs will be made available electronically as bench marks for testing reconstruction methods.

title: Exploratory Interview Study of Concerned Neighbors at Rural Renewable Energy Projects

Subjects: subject: renewable energy

subject: local opposition

description: Researchers estimate we can meet around 80% of our energy needs through intermittent renewable energy resources including wind and solar. Technical and economic realities often lead these technologies to be sited in rural areas with agrarian roots. The tremendous growth of wind and solar has been met with pushback from local residents in these communities. This study employs an exploratory interview method to better understand the backgrounds and perspectives of local residents opposed to renewable energy projects in their rural communities. 27 participants at 5 sites across the Midwest were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide exploring respondents’ connections to their place, concerns about the local project, and discussions about their visions for their communities as well as the country more generally. We show that affinity for rural aesthetic and rural values that prioritized trust and self-sufficiency were a commonality among concerned neighbors at renewable energy projects. In addition to the aesthetic concerns and values mismatch between the pro-renewable energy actors and themselves, interviewees often took issue with the development process while still maintaining that the project did not belong in their community under any circumstances. The findings suggest renewable energy developers alter their practices to conform with the value framework of the residents in the communities they seek to operate in.

A Study of Absorption Features in the Three Micron Spectra of Molecular Cloud Sources with H$_2$O Ice Bands

description: New 3.3--3.6~$μ$m spectra were obtained of nine young stellar objects embedded in molecular clouds. An absorption feature at $\sim$3.47~$μ$m (2880~cm$^{-1}$) with FWHM$\sim$0.09 $μ$m (80 cm$^{-1}$), first identified by Allamandola et al. (1992), was definitively detected toward seven objects, and marginally in the other two. The feature is better correlated with H$_2$O ice than with the silicate dust optical depth in the data obtained to date. Assuming the feature is due to a C--H stretch absorption, the abundance of the C--H bonds averaged along the lines of sight is closely related to that of H$_2$O ice. We interpret the correlation with H$_2$O ice as indicating that the C--H bonds form together with H$_2$O ice on grain surfaces in the molecular clouds, though other formation mechanisms are not ruled out. A second absorption feature at 3.25 $μ$m (3080 cm$^{-1}$) was detected toward NGC7538/IRS 1 and S140/IRS 1; this feature was first detected in spectra of MonR2/IRS 3 (Sellgren, Smith, \& Brooke 1994; Sellgren et al. 1995). There is as yet insufficient data to tell whether this feature is better correlated with H$_2$O ice or silicates.

description: Suppose that two independent sets $I$ and $J$ of a graph with $\vert I \vert = \vert J \vert$ are given, and a token is placed on each vertex in $I$. The Sliding Token problem is to determine whether there exists a sequence of independent sets which transforms $I$ into $J$ so that each independent set in the sequence results from the previous one by sliding exactly one token along an edge in the graph. It is one of the representative reconfiguration problems that attract the attention from the viewpoint of theoretical computer science. For a yes-instance of a reconfiguration problem, finding a shortest reconfiguration sequence has a different aspect. In general, even if it is polynomial time solvable to decide whether two instances are reconfigured with each other, it can be $\mathsf{NP}$-hard to find a shortest sequence between them. In this paper, we show that the problem for finding a shortest sequence between two independent sets is polynomial time solvable for spiders (i.e., trees having exactly one vertex of degree at least three).

description: We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to search for continuum emission toward three strong 6.7-GHz methanol maser sources. For two of the sources, G339.88-1.26 and NGC 6334F (G351.42+0.64), we detect continuum emission closely associated with the methanol masers. A further three clusters of masers showed no radio continuum emission above our sensitivity limit of 1-5 mJy. We find the position of the 6.7-GHz methanol masers in G339.88-1.26 to be consistent with the hypothesis that the masers lie in the circumstellar disc surrounding a massive star. We also argue that one of the clusters of methanol masers in NGC 6334F provides indirect observational support for the circumstellar disc hypothesis.

In diesem Beitrag wird ein gekoppelter Modellansatz vorgestellt, bestehend aus einem agentenbasierten Marktmodell und einem Stromübertragungsnetzmodell für die Core Kapazitätsberechnungsregion. Basierend für ein Szenario im Jahr 2035 nach dem Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2022 wird der Einfluss einer historischen Schwachwindphase auf die Residuallast modelliert. Durch die stark reduzierte Erneuerbaren Einspeisung, ist ein verstärkter Einsatz von Gaskraftwerken notwendig, der nicht in allen Stunden zur Lastdeckung ausreicht. Netzseitig führt die veringerte Windeinspeisung zu weniger Leitungsenpässen und entsprechend geringerem Umfang an Einspeisemanagement und Re-dispatch.

Accretion discs around black holes: two dimensional, advection cooled flows

description: Two-dimensional accretion flows near black holes have been investigated by time-dependent hydrodynamical calculations. We assume that the flow is axisymmetric and that radiative losses of internal energy are negligible, so that the disc is geometrically thick and hot. Accretion occurs due to the overflow of the effective potential barrier near the black hole, similar to the case of the Roche lobe overflowing star in a binary system. We make no pre-assumptions on the properties of the flow, instead our models evolve self-consistently from an initially non-accreting state. The viscosity is due to the the small-scale turbulence and it is described by the $α$-viscosity prescription. We confirm earlier suggestions that viscous accretion flows are convectively unstable. We found that the instability produces transient eddies of various length-scales. The eddies contribute to the strength of the viscosity in the flow by redistributing the angular momentum. They also introduce low amplitude oscillatory variations which have a typical frequency about $100\; \msun/M$ Hz for a system of mass $M$. This may be relevant to the high frequency ($\sim 4-10$ Hz) quasi-periodic oscillations observed in the Galactic black hole candidate X-ray sources.

Evidence For Advective Flow From Multi-Wavelength Observations Of Nova Muscae
Creators: name: Misra, Ranjeev
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We model the UV/optical spectrum of the black hole binary Nova Muscae as a sum of black body emissions from the outer region of an accretion disk. We show for self-consistency that scattering effects in this region are not important. The black hole mass ($M \approx 6 M_\odot$), the inclination angle ($μ\approx 0.5$) and the distance to the source ($D \approx 5$ kpc) have been constrained by optical observations during quiescence (Orosz et al. 1996). Using these values we find that the accretion rate during the peak was ${\dot M} \approx 8 \times 10^{19}$ g sec$^{-1}$ and subsequently decayed exponentially. We define a radiative fraction ($f$) to be the ratio of the X-ray energy luminosity to the total gravitational power dissipated for a keplerian accretion disk. We find that $f \approx 0.1$ and remains nearly constant during the Ultra-soft and Soft spectral states. Thus for these states, the inner region of the accretion disk is advection dominated. $f$ probably increased to $\approx 0.5$ during the Hard state and finally decreased to $\approx 0.03$ as the source returned to quiescence.

Luminous Quasars in Luminous Early-Type Host Galaxies

description: Some recent observations of nearby quasars with HST have apparently failed to detect host galaxies. We review the HST observations as well as near infrared ground-based observations of the same objects. We find that the quasar hosts can be detected in the HST data if they are smoothed sufficiently to reveal low surface brightness. The smooth hosts are very difficult to detect with HST but are more easily visible in the deeper, ground-based IR images. The V-H colors obtained by combining the HST and IR data are compatible with normal galaxy colors at the redshifts of the quasars. This behavior can be explained if the hosts are massive early-type galaxies. All together, HST images have been reported for 15 luminous quasars, approximately 13 of which have smooth early-type hosts. This kind of galaxy therefore appears to be the most common host for a luminous quasar.

Information theoretic limits of MIMO wireless networks with bounded input and imperfect CSIT
Creators: name: Rassouli, Borzoo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: In this thesis, we investigate some information theoretic limits of two specific types of MIMO wireless networks. In the first one, the effect of channel uncertainty at the transmitter (due to estimation error, feedback latency, and so on) in MIMO broadcast channels is investigated. In this setting, we capture this imperfectness in the bounds for the DoF region of the channel. The second one is the point to point deterministic MIMO channel with input amplitude constraint. For certain settings, the capacity of this channel is derived, while for the general problem, upper and lower bounds for the capacity are obtained.

On the Density of PBH's in the Galactic Halo
Creators: name: Wright, Edward L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Calculations of the rate of local Primordial Black Hole explosions often assume that the PBH's can be highly concentrated into galaxies, thereby weakening the Page-Hawking limit on the cosmological density of PBH's. But if the PBH's are concentrated by a factor exceeding $c/(H_\circ R_\circ) \approx 4 \times 10^5$, where $R_\circ = 8.5$ kpc is the scale of the Milky Way, then the steady emission from the PBH's in the halo will produce an anisotropic high latitude diffuse gamma ray intensity larger than the observed anisotropy. This provides a limit on the rate-density of evaporating PBH's of $\lesssim 0.4$~pc$^{-3}$yr$^{-1}$ which is more than 6 orders of magnitude lower than recent experimental limits. However, the weak observed anisotropic high latitude diffuse gamma ray intensity is consistent with the idea that the dark matter that closes the Universe is Planck mass remnants of evaporated black holes.

description: We observed the anomalous X-ray pulsar 4U 0142+61 using the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) aboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in March 1996. The pulse frequency was measured as f = 0.11510039(3) Hz with an upper limit of df/dt < 4 * 10^(-13) Hz/s upon the short term change in frequency over the 4.6 day span of the observations. A compilation of all historical measurements showed an overall spin-down trend with slope df/dt = (-3.0 +/- 0.1) * 10^(-14) Hz/s. Searches for orbital modulations in pulse arrival times yielded an upper limit of a_x sin i < 0.26 lt-s (99% confidence) for the period range 70 s to 2.5 days. These limits combined with previous optical limits and evolutionary arguments suggest that 4U 0142+61 is probably not a member of a binary system.

Three essays on corporate independent directors in emerging markets
Creators: name: Fu, Jyun Ying
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation investigates the impact of independent directors’ connections to a powerful third party such as the state on (1) independent directors’ monitoring, (2) directors’ career outcomes and (3) corporate donations. Study 1 (Chapter 3) investigates how the power relationship between independent directors and (majority) shareholders impact independent directors’ monitoring. By exploiting a director-level dataset, this study finds that directors’ connections to a powerful third party such as the government countervail the influence of majority shareholders and thereby positively influence their monitoring. However, independent director compensation associated with dependency asymmetry negatively affects their monitoring. Study 2 (Chapter 4) extends research on directors’ monitoring by investigating whether directors will be rewarded for their effective monitoring. Drawing upon signalling theory, I posit that diligent monitoring, despite the same type of signal, is evaluated differently by varying groups of stakeholders and in turn influences directors’ careers. Specifically, diligent monitoring is not positively evaluated by the focal firm, as reflected by directors’ lower probability of re-appointment after current director term expires. However, diligent directors are rewarded for their duties in the form of more new board seats. Moreover, for directors with connections to the state, diligent monitoring is also rewarded as this is consistent with the state’s interests. Study 3 (Chapter 5) examines heterogeneous political connections and their impacts on corporate social responsiveness (i.e. donation). Using data on earthquake donations by Chinese publicly listed firms in 2008, I show that firms with higher proportions of directors embedded in the political system will donate less, due to the fact that disaster relief efforts, viewed as the state’s responsibility, may de-legitimize the state. However, firms with higher proportions of directors peripheral in the political system will donate more due to public pressure for corporate social responsibility. This study provides insights into the nature of political connections and enriches our understanding of corporate social responsiveness in the context of emerging economies.
The neuroprotective and behavioural effects of group III metabotropic glutamate receptor ligands in rodent models of Parkinson’s disease
Creators: name: Williams, Claire
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Current therapies for Parkinson's disease are able to ameliorate the symptoms in the early stages, however as the disease progresses, they become less effective and patients often develop debilitating side effects. There is currently a significant unmet need for disease modifying or neuroprotective drugs to slow the rate of disease progression and provide long-term symptomatic relief. Novel therapeutics that can provide symptomatic relief whilst attenuating the ongoing neurodegeneration are therefore sought. The targeting of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors has become a therapeutic focus in recent years. The group III mGlu receptors are the focus of this thesis as they currently hold the most therapeutic promise, with evidence suggesting activation of these receptors not only modulates aberrant neurotransmission in the basal ganglia to provide symptom relief, but also provides neuroprotective effects in the nigrostriatal system through a variety of mechanisms. Recent advances in the development of subtype-selective ligands that cross the blood-brain barrier provides the ability to explore the variety of functions associated with targeting individual group III mGlu receptor subtypes in a clinically relevant manner. In order to determine the potential of these receptors as suitable targets for novel therapies, the antiparkinsonian activity and neuroprotective effects of group III mGlu receptor subtypes were investigated using two novel selective ligands in the lactacystin model, which features altered protein accumulation, progressive neuronal death and development of motor deficits. Neither ligand reduced motor symptoms effectively, and no robust neuroprotection was detected. Potential anti-inflammatory mechanisms of one compound were then investigated in vivo and in vitro but showed no clear effect. Selectively targeting group III mGlu receptors did not hold the neuroprotective or antiparkinsonian potential that was initially predicted. Collectively, these studies demonstrate the importance of testing therapies in a variety of models demonstrating different aspects of disease pathogenesis.
Electrochemical studies of semiconducting polymers: correlation of energetics and stability
Creators: name: Beatrup, Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: In order to make organic solar cells commercially viable, it is necessary to design devices with higher efficiency and longer lifetimes than is currently accessible. Energetics of materials used in organic solar cells are already known to play a key role in various aspects of device performance, including charge generation and ambient stability. In order to make progress on either of these fronts, a clear understanding of frontier molecular orbital energy levels in semiconducting polymers is key, which is one issue that this thesis aims to address. Less understood is what role energetics plays in operational stability, which is another issue that this thesis aims to address. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was employed to study the effect of relative semiconducting polymer crystallinity on highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels in neat films. Two HOMO energy levels were found, with a difference in energy of ca 60 meV, corresponding to relatively ordered and disordered phases in the film. The effect of various thermal treatments on the relative ratio of ordered:disordered phases is investigated. During solar cell operation, the semiconducting polymers are partially oxidised, with bulk hole polaron densities of ca 10^15-17 cm-3. Chronoamperometry and absorption spectroscopy were combined to develop a methodology for accelerating degradation caused by the presence of hole polarons in neat films. The methodology was initially employed to investigate the relative stabilities of the hole polarons formed when P3HT and two structurally analogous semiconducting polymers with deeper HOMO energy levels are partially oxidised. The study was extended to include a variety of donor- acceptor polymers. It is shown that stabilising the HOMO results in a less stable hole polaron.

Another Look at Gaussian Isocurvature Hot Dark Matter Models For Large- Scale Structure

description: We examine Gaussian isocurvature hot dark matter (massive neutrino) models for large-scale structure in which the initial density perturbations are produced in the baryons with a power--law spectrum $P_B(k) = Ak^{n_B}$. We calculate the linearly-evolved power spectrum and cosmic microwave fluctuations. We find that models with only isocurvature perturbations are inconsistent with observations of damped Ly$α$ systems and COBE constraints on the power index. However, models which contain a mixture of adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations can be made consistent with COBE, galaxy surveys and damped Ly$α$ systems.Isocurvature hot dark matter models also produce a bias between baryons and neutrinos even in the linear regime. We find that this ``natural bias'' can increase the baryon fraction in small scale objects like damped Ly$α$ systems, but it has no effect on cluster scales.

Small-$x$ phenomenology at the LHC and beyond: HELL 3.0 and the case of the Higgs cross section

description: Small-$x$ resummation has been proven recently to be a crucial ingredient for describing small-$x$ HERA data, and the inclusion of small-$x$ resummation in parton distribution function (PDF) determination has a sizeable effect on the PDFs even at the electroweak scale. In this work we explore the implications of small-$x$ resummation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and at a Future Circular Collider (FCC). We construct the theoretical machinery for resumming physical inclusive observables at hadron colliders, and describe its implementation in the public code HELL 3.0. We focus on Higgs production in gluon fusion as a prototypical example, both because it is sensitive to small-$x$ gluons and because of its importance for the LHC physics programme. We find that adding small-$x$ resummation to the N$^3$LO Higgs production cross section can lead to an increase of up to 10% at FCC, while the effect is smaller (+1%) at LHC but still important to achieve a high level of precision.

Quantum properties of plasmonic waveguides
Creators: name: Dieleman, Frederik
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: This thesis investigates properties of quantum states of light while travelling as surface plasmon polaritons in plasmonic waveguides and structures. The bosonic nature of SPPs has been shown in previous work by performing a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference experiment with a plasmonic scattering-based beam splitter. Here, we show the same interference with a higher statistical power thanks to an improved set-up. A visibility of 59 ± 1 % is obtained in the two-photon interference, clearly breaking the classical limit of 50 %. The importance of the phase-relations between the different modes in the beam splitter is experimentally probed. The output state of the interference is then further analyzed by a quantum state tomography set-up. This makes it possible to quantify the entanglement generated in the interference. As the interference happens in the plasmonic beam splitter, this shows, to our knowledge for the first time, entanglement generated in a plasmonic structure. Together with the recent results in terms of entanglement and coherence preservation of SPPs, this clearly shows the potential of quantum plasmonic devices. To move into the realm of applications, we also investigate theoretically the enhancements in sensitivity quantum states of light can deliver for plasmonic sensing. It is shown that despite the losses, quantum metrology techniques can be useful in an interferometer with plasmonic waveguides. Considering the strengths and successes of plasmonic sensing techniques in a wide range of fields, we envision that entangled and squeezed states of light will become a new route to push the limits in sensitivity.
Contribution of cyclotron-resonant damping to kinetic dissipation of interplanetary turbulence

description: We examine some implications of inertial range and dissipation range correlation and spectral analyses extracted from 33 intervals of Wind magnetic field data. When field polarity and signatures of cross helicity and magnetic helicity are examined, most of the datasets suggest some role of cyclotron resonant dissipative processes involving thermal protons. We postulate that an active spectral cascade into the dissipation range is balanced by a combination of cyclotron-resonant and non-cyclotron-resonant kinetic dissipation mechanisms, of which only the former induces a magnetic helicity signature. A rate balance theory, constrained by the data, suggests that the ratio of the two mechanisms is of order unity. While highly simplified, this approach appears to account for several observed features, and explains why complete cyclotron absorption, and the corresponding pure magnetic helicity signature, is usually not observed.

The effect of exit pressure pulsation on the performance and stability limit of a turbocharger centrifugal compressor
Creators: name: Barrera-Medrano, Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Surge is a system instability related to interaction between the compressor, the ducting and the throttle in a given compression system. This limit is critical for automotive turbochargers as it dictates the minimum flow rate of the internal combustion (IC) engine. The inlet valve train of the IC engine cylinder arrangement influences the operation of a turbocharger compressor. It is this valve motion that sets a pulsating exit state for the compressor and, as such, it can impose a further limit on the compressor operation range limiting further the engine minimum flow rate. This thesis presents an experimental evaluation of the surge dynamics on a compressor with induced downstream pulsating flow. Different pulsation levels will be characterized by means of the frequency and amplitude of the pulse. Multiple experiments are carried out in a purpose-built test bench that has components similar to a turbocharger engine system: compressor, duct, plenum and throttle. Experimental data will be presented for a range of frequencies, amplitudes at a given compressor speed, and the effect of these parameters will be analysed independently. The main effect on the surge margin of the compressor has been found to be due to the presence of a volume in the system for all cases, whether steady or pulsating condition, and at all frequencies. It was found that the magnitude of the pulse frequency determines the hysteresis behaviour of the system that leads to a phase difference between the convected terms (volume flow) and the acoustic dominated terms (pressure), and therefore this affects the onset of flow instability, surge, in the compression system under study. Based on these results, the compressor performance, and particularly its stability limit, is strongly influenced by the downstream conditions of the system where the compressor is placed.

Entanglement versus entwinement in symmetric product orbifolds

description: We study the entanglement entropy of gauged internal degrees of freedom in a two dimensional symmetric product orbifold CFT, whose configurations consist of $N$ strands sewn together into "long" strings, with wavefunctions symmetrized under permutations. In earlier work a related notion of "entwinement" was introduced. Here we treat this system analogously to a system of $N$ identical particles. From an algebraic point of view, we point out that the reduced density matrix on $k$ out of $N$ particles is not associated with a subalgebra of operators, but rather with a linear subspace, which we explain is sufficient. In the orbifold CFT, we compute the entropy of a single strand in states holographically dual in the D1/D5 system to a conical defect geometry or a massless BTZ black hole and find a result identical to entwinement. We also calculate the entropy of two strands in the state that represents the conical defect; the result differs from entwinement. In this case, matching entwinement would require finding a gauge-invariant way to impose continuity across strands.

description: Data collected during three years with a germanium spectrometer at the Sierra Grande underground laboratory have been analyzed for distinctive features of annual modulation of the signal induced by WIMP dark matter candidates. The main motivation for this analysis was the recent suggestion by the DAMA/NaI Collaboration that a yearly modulation signal could not be rejected at the 90% confidence level when analyzing data obtained with a high-mass low-background scintillator detector. We performed two different analyses of the data: First, the statistical distribution of modulation-significance variables (expected from an experiment running under the conditions of Sierra Grande) was compared with the same variables obtained from the data. Second, the data were analyzed in energy bins as an independent check of the first result and to allow for the possibility of a crossover in the expected signal. In both cases no statistically significant deviation from the null result was found, which could support the hypothesis that the data contain a modulated component. A plot is also presented to enable the comparison of these results to those of the DAMA collaboration.

description: This paper is intended as an introduction to the theory of weak lensing. A review of the inversion formula introduced by Kaiser and Squires is presented. We then prove the formula of the aperture densitometry method in a simple way that allows a clear understanding of where the various terms come from. This is particularly useful to quantitatively measure masses in any region of a lens. We then summarize what has been learned from observations of strong lensing about the dark matter distribution; weak lensing should provide similar information on larger scales in clusters of galaxies.
