description: We recently demonstrated that the 3D shape of micro-parts can be measured using LED illumination based on contrast evaluation. The technique is based on imaging the object under test using partially coherent illumination. The limited spatial coherence of LED illumination was utilized to discriminate depth. For a fast depth scan without mechanically moving parts, an electrically tunable lens (ETL) in a 4f optical configuration is used. This approach is efficient, takes less than a second to capture all required images, is eye-safe, and offers a depth of focus of a few millimeters. However, the main limitation of the proposed approach arises from the underlying assumption that a small angle of variation of illumination is required. Such a small illumination aperture affects the axial scan resolution that dominates the measurement uncertainty. In the present paper we propose a method to overcome the main limitation of the above-mentioned profiling technique. The approach combines measurements with multiple illumination directions achieved by illuminating the object simultaneously with several independent light sources. In this way, the full-width half maximum of the contrast envelope is reduced. A tilted metallic plate is used for proof of concept.
Addressing some current issues in linear and high-order meshing
Creators: name: Keskin, Umit
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The thesis explores the generation of anisotropic and boundary conforming Voronoi regions and Delaunay triangulations, high-order mesh quality and the development of mesh enhancement techniques which incorporate quality measures to preserve mesh validity longer. In the first part an analogy with crystal growth is proposed to handle mesh anisotropy and boundary conformity in Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay mesh generation. A Voronoi partition of a domain corresponds to the steady-state configuration of many crystals growing from their seed points. Mesh anisotropy is incorporated and the shape of the boundary of an isolated crystal is guided by re-interpreting a user-defined Riemann metric in terms of the velocity of the crystal boundary. A straightforward implementation of conformity to boundaries is achieved by treating the boundary of the computational domain as the boundary of a stationary crystal. The second part attempts to answer the question: what is a good highorder element? A review of a priori mesh quality measures suitable for high-order elements is presented. A systematic analysis of the quality measures for interior and boundary elements is then carried out utilising a number of test cases that consist of a set of carefully selected elements with various degrees of distortion. Their ability to identify severe geometrical distortion is discussed. The effect of boundary curvature on the performance of quality measures is also investigated. The last part proposes improvements to a conventional mesh deformation method based on the equations of elasticity to maintain highorder mesh validity and enhance mesh quality. This is accomplished by incorporating additional terms, that can be interpreted as body forces and thermal stresses in the elastic analogy. Different test cases are designed to prolong mesh validity, and their performance is reported. A proposal of how to formulate these terms to incorporate anisotropy is also presented.

A constructive theory of automated ideation
Creators: name: Cavallo, Flaminia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis we explore the field of automated artefact generation in computational creativity with the aim of proposing methods of generation of ideas with cultural value. We focus on two kinds of ideas: fictional concepts and socially embedded concepts. For fictional concepts, we introduce a novel method based on the non-existence-conjectures made by the HR automated theory formation system. We further introduce the notion of typicality of an example with respect to a concept into HR. This leads to methods for ordering fictional concepts with respect to three measurements: novelty, vagueness and stimulation. We ran an experiment to produce thousands of definitions of fictional animals and then compared the software's evaluations of the non-fictional concepts with those obtained through a survey consulting sixty people. The results showed that two of the three measurements have a correlation with human notions.For socially embedded concepts, we apply a typicality-based classification method, the Rational Model of Classification (RMC), to a set of data obtained from Twitter. The aim being the creation of a set of concepts that naturally associate to an initial topic. We applied the RMC to four sets of tweets, each corresponding to one of four initial topics. The result was a set of clusters per topic, each cluster having a definition consisting of a set of words that appeared recurrently in the tweets. A survey was used to ask people to guess the topic given a set of definitions and to rate the artistic relevance of these definitions. The results showed both high association percentage and high relevance scores. A second survey was used to compare the rankings on the social impact of each of the definitions. The results obtained show a weak positive correlation between the two rankings. Our experiments show that it is possible to automatically generate ideas with the purpose of using them for artefact generation. This is an important step for the automation of computational creativity because most of the available artefact generation systems do not explicitly undertake idea generation. Moreover, our experiments introduce new ways of using the notion of typicality and show how these uses can be integrated in both the generation and evaluation of ideas.

description: The derivation of the `classical' low-energy theorem (LET) for γp \rightarrow pπ^0 is re-examined and compared to chiral perturbation theory. Both results are correct and are not contradictory; they differ because different expansions of the same quantity are involved. Possible modifications of the extended partially conserved axial-vector current relation, one of the starting points in the derivation of the LET, are discussed. An alternate, more transparent form of the LET is presented.

Exploring critical-state behaviour using DEM
Creators: name: Huang, Xin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The critical state soil mechanics (CSSM) framework originally proposed by Schofield & Wroth (1968) has been shown to capture the mechanical behaviour of soils effectively. The particulate implementation of the discrete element method (DEM) can replicate many of the complex mechanical characteristics associated with sand. This research firstly shows that the CSSM framework is useful to assess whether a DEM simulation gives a response that is representative of a real soil. The research then explores the capacity of DEM to extend understanding of soil behaviour within the CSSM framework. The influence of sample size on the critical-state response observed in DEM simulations that use rigid-wall boundaries was examined. The observed sensitivity was shown to be caused by higher void ratios and lower contact densities adjacent to the boundaries. When the void ratio (e) and mean stress (p’) of the homogeneous interior regions were considered, the influence of sample size on the position of the critical state line (CSL) in e-log(p’) space diminished. A parametric study on the influence of the interparticle friction (μ) on the load-deformation response was carried out. The macro-scale stress-deformation characteristics were nonlinearly related to μ and the particle-scale measures (fabric, contact force distribution, etc.) varied systematically with μ. The limited effect of increases in μ on the overall strength at high μ values (μ>0.5) is attributable to transition from sliding-dominant to rolling-dominant contact behaviour. A μ value higher than 0.5 leads to a CSL in e-log(p’) space that does not capture real soil response. True-triaxial simulations with different intermediate stress ratios (b) were performed. The dependency of strength on b agreed with empirical failure criteria for sands and was related to a change of buckling modes of the strong force chains as b increased. DEM simulations showed that the position of the CSL in e-log(p’) space depends on the intermediate stress ratio b. This sensitivity seems to be related to the dependency of the directional fabric anisotropy on b. The link between the state parameter and both soil strength and dilatancy proposed by Jefferies & Been (2006) was reproduced in DEM simulations. A new rotational resistance model was proposed and it was shown that the new model can qualitatively capture the influence of particle shape on the mechanical behaviour of sand. However, it was shown that the effect of rotational resistance is limited and to quantitatively compare the DEM simulation results with laboratory testing data, e.g., the critical-state loci, it is necessary to use non-spherical particles.

The Extreme Outer Regions of Disk Galaxies: I. Chemical Abundances of HII Regions

description: We present the first results of an ongoing project to investigate the present-day chemical abundances of the extreme outer parts of galactic disks, as probed by the emission line spectra of a new sample of HII regions. The galaxies studied here, NGC628, NGC1058 and NGC6946, are all late-type spiral galaxies, characterized by larger than average HI-to-optical sizes. Our deep Halpha images have revealed the existence of recent massive star formation, traced by HII regions, out to, and beyond, two optical radii in these galaxies (defined by the B-band 25th magnitude isophote). Optical spectra of these newly-discovered HII regions are used to investigate their densities, ionization parameters, extinctions and in particular their oxygen and nitrogen abundances. Our measurements reveal gas-phase abundances of O/H~10-15% of the solar value, and N/O~20-25% of the solar value, at radii of 1.5-2 R25. Clear evidence also exists for diminished dust extinction (Av~0-0.2) at large radii. The combination of our measurements of outer disk HII region abundances with those for inner disk HII regions published in the literature is a powerful probe of the shape of abundance gradients over unprecedented radial baselines. Within the limits of the current dataset, the radial abundance variations are consistent with single log-linear relationships, although the derived slopes can often differ considerably from those found if only inner disk HII regions are used to define the fit. Interestingly, both the mean level of enrichment and the ratio of N/O measured in extreme outer galactic disks are similar to those values measured in some high redshift damped Lyman-alpha absorbers, suggesting that outer disks at the present epoch are relatively unevolved.

Subjects: subject: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems (nlin.AO)

description: The self-consistent method, first introduced by Kuramoto, is a powerful tool for the analysis of the steady states of coupled oscillator networks. For second-order oscillator networks complications to the application of the self-consistent method arise because of the bistable behavior due to the co-existence of a stable fixed point and a stable limit cycle, and the resulting complicated boundary between the corresponding basins of attraction. In this paper, we report on a self-consistent analysis of second-order oscillators which is simpler compared to previous approaches while giving more accurate results in the small inertia regime and close to incoherence. We apply the method to analyze the steady states of coupled second-order oscillators and we introduce the concepts of margin region and scaled inertia. The improved accuracy of the self-consistent method close to incoherence leads to an accurate estimate of the critical coupling corresponding to transitions from incoherence.

Spectral inequalities for discrete and continuous differential operators
Creators: name: Schimmer, Lukas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis spectral inequalities and trace formulae for discrete and continuous differential operators are discussed. We first investigate spectral inequalities for Jacobi operators with matrix-valued potentials and present a new, direct proof of a sharp inequality corresponding to a Lieb–Thirring inequality for the power 3/2 using the commutation method. For the special case of a discrete Schrödinger operator we also prove new inequalities for higher powers of the eigenvalues and the potential and compare our results to previously established bounds. We then approximate a Schrödinger operator on L^2(\R) by Jacobi operators on \ell^2(\Z) and use the established inequalities to provide new proofs of sharp Lieb–Thirring inequalities for the powers \gamma=1/2 and \gamma=3/2. By means of interpolation we derive spectral inequalities for Jacobi operators that yield (non-sharp) Lieb–Thirring constants on the real line for powers 1/2

Cytokinin metabolite distribution at tissue- and cell-specific levels
Creators: name: Antoniadi, Ioanna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Cytokinins are pivotal plant hormones regulating the cell cycle and many components of development. They also transduce environmental signals such as nutrient deficiency and drought. The significance of cytokinin genes in agriculture has been highlighted by several reports, which associate them with improved crop performance. The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of cytokinin metabolite distribution, in order to shed light on cytokinin transport, biochemistry and its function. Cytokinin metabolite levels were shown to vary amongst pea tissues and vascular saps, and across developmental stages. Detection was pushed to new limits by performing cytokinin measurements in distinct cell populations. For the first time, heterogeneous distribution was demonstrated within the Arabidopsis root apex and between the intra- and extra-cellular compartments. A cytokinin gradient was revealed within the Arabidopsis root tip with maximal concentration in the columella, root cap, initials and QC cells. Cell-specific analysis of the TCSn:GFP cytokinin signaling reporter line indicated tZ as the only bioactive cytokinin related to intra-cellular cytokinin signaling. This result, coupled with identification of active cytokinins in the apoplast, indicates a significant role for cytokinin receptors at the plasma membrane. Cytokinin glucosides were largely intra-cellular, with their prevalence in cytokinin responsive cells indicating a role in cytokinin signaling. The riboside cZR was identified as a major transported cytokinin form while tZ-cytokinins were predominantly shoot compounds. The lateral root zone was also identified as a candidate site for cytokinin loading into the xylem. Comprehensive analysis of cytokinin’s distribution was also examined, particularly in response to strigolactone effects, another plant hormone which regulates branching. Strigolactone inhibited cytokinin degradative enzymes in root apices, thus acting as a local positive regulator of cytokinins. Furthermore, an RMS2-dependent mechanism regulating cytokinin homeostasis in the shoots was identified. In conclusion, this research provides new insights into the importance of cytokinin spatial distribution for understanding its roles in cell and developmental biology.
The role of spleen tyrosine kinase in glomerulonephritis
Creators: name: McAdoo, Stephen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that has an important role in immunoreceptor signalling, including for the B cell receptor and activatory Fc receptors. SYK inhibition has shown efficacy in animal models of non-renal autoimmune disease. The role of SYK in experimental and clinical renal disease, however, is not well defined. I have studied the effects of SYK inhibition using a specific small molecule inhibitor (R788; fostamatinib) in two distinct experimental models of glomerulonephritis in the rat. In experimental autoimmune glomerulonephritis (EAG; a model of anti-glomerular basement membrane disease), I have shown that SYK inhibition with fostamatinib both prevents and treats established disease. Significant attenuation of humoral autoimmune responses was observed, and ELISpot and flow cytometric analysis suggests that this was due to a direct inhibitory effect on B cell activity, rather than overall B cell survival. In addition, SYK inhibition appeared to inhibit antibody-dependent, Fc receptor-mediated pro-inflammatory responses, particularly within glomerular macrophages, in EAG. In experimental autoimmune vasculitis (EAV; a model of anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody [ANCA] associated vasculitis), SYK inhibition was an effective treatment for life-threatening manifestations of disease, including glomerulonephritis and lung haemorrhage. I have also examined the pattern of SYK expression by immunohistochemistry in clinical renal biopsy specimens from approximately 100 patients with a spectrum of glomerular pathologies. I found that SYK is expressed and activated in proliferative types of glomerulonephritis, and that expression levels correlate with disease activity in anti-GBM disease, ANCA-associated vasculitis, lupus nephritis and IgA nephropathy. These data suggest that SYK is important in the pathogenesis of proliferative glomerulonephritis. SYK inhibition is an effective treatment strategy for the organ-threatening manifestations of disease in two experimental models, and SYK inhibition therefore warrants further investigation in human renal disease.

description: State-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulations have star particles with typical mass between $\sim 10^8$ and $\sim 10^3$ M$_{\odot}$ according to resolution, and treat them as simple stellar populations. On the other hand, observations in nearby galaxies resolve individual stars and provide us with single star properties. An accurate and fair comparison between predictions from simulations and observations is a crucial task. We introduce a novel approach to consistently populate star particles with stars. We developed a technique to generate a theoretical catalogue of mock stars whose characteristics are derived from the properties of parent star particles from a cosmological simulation. Also, a library of stellar evolutionary tracks and synthetic spectra is used to mimic the photometric properties of mock stars. The aim of this tool is to produce a database of synthetic stars from the properties of parent star particles in simulations: such a database represents the observable stellar content of simulated galaxies and allows a comparison as accurate as possible with observations of resolved stellar populations. With this innovative approach we are able to provide a colour-magnitude diagram from a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. This method is flexible and can be tailored to fit output of different codes used for cosmological simulations. Also, it is of paramount importance with ongoing survey data releases (e.g. GAIA and surveys of resolved stellar populations), and will be useful to predict properties of stars with peculiar chemical features and to compare predictions from hydrodynamical models with data of different tracers of stellar populations.

description: Some animals have a basic culture but to date there is not much evidence that cultural traits evolve as part of a cumulative process as seen in humans. This may be due to limits in animal physical cognition, such as an inability to compare the efficiency of a novel behavioural innovation with an already existing tradition. We investigated this possibility with a study on a natural tool innovation in wild chimpanzees, moss-sponging, which recently emerged in some individuals to extract mineral-rich liquids at natural clay-pits. The behaviour probably arose as a variant of leaf-sponging, a tool technique seen in all studied chimpanzee communities. We found that moss-sponges not only absorbed more liquid but were manufactured and used more rapidly than leaf-sponges, suggesting a functional improvement. To investigate whether chimpanzees understood the advantage of moss- over leaf-sponges, we experimentally offered small amounts of rainwater in an artificial cavity of a portable log, together with both sponge materials, moss and leaves. We found that established moss-spongers (having used moss at clay-pits) preferred moss to prepare a sponge to access the rainwater, whereas leaf-spongers (never observed using moss) preferred leaves. Survey data finally demonstrated that moss was common in forest areas near clay-pits but nearly absent in other forest areas, suggesting that natural moss-sponging was, at least partly, constrained by ecology, not knowledge. Together, these results suggest that chimpanzees perceive functional improvements in tool quality, a crucial prerequisite for cumulative culture.

description: I argue that the weight of the available evidence favours the conclusions that galaxies are unbiased tracers of mass, the mean mass density (excluding a cosmological constant or its equivalent) is less than the critical Einstein-de Sitter value, and an isocurvature model for structure formation offers a viable and arguably attractive model for the early assembly of galaxies. If valid these conclusions complicate our work of adding structure formation to the standard model for cosmology, but it seems sensible to pay attention to evidence.

Application of dioxinone derivatives for synthesis of aromatic compounds
Creators: name: Blencowe, Peter Stewart
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis describes synthetic organic chemistry of 2,2,6-Trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one derivatives for the synthesis of aromatic compounds including salicylates, gamma resorcylates, hydroquinones and anilines. Using a biomimetic approach dioxinone derivatives acted as masked poly-carbonyl derivatives which cyclized giving the aromatic molecules in a de novo manner. The synthesis of the substrates was carried out by a variety of methods to introduce different functional groups prior to cyclization. Cross metathesis of a vinyl dioxinone gave access to a variety of substrates capable of cyclization to give salicylates, gamma resorcylates, hydroquinones and anilines. Use of aldol additions to keto-dioxinone compounds gave rise to substrates for formation of gamma resorcylates. Furthermore, the different routes for the synthesis of the substrates are discussed in detail and with reference to unsuccessful strategies also attempted. This includes details of the synthesis of dioxinone derivatives that may be useful in other unexplored applications. The introduction examines existing strategies for de novo aromatic synthesis, highlighting numerous different approaches and making direct comparisons between them where possible. Also reported is previous research into dioxinone compounds and applications in synthesis of aromatic molecules. Experimental material detailing the procedures carried out and data obtained are included at the end.

description: The coherence function offers new possibilities for optical metrology not available with conventional wave field sensing. Its measurement involves spatio-temporal sampling of wave fields modulated by the object under investigation. While the evaluation of the coherence function is more elaborate than conventional approaches, an information theoretical treatment shows that it also delivers more information about the object under investigation. In order to achieve efficient information extraction from the coherence function, advanced approaches involving compressed sensing are required to obtain optical metrology techniques that are simultaneously precise, robust and fast as well as suited for complex measurement situations.

description: Eta photo- and electroproduction off the nucleon is investigated in an effective lagrangian approach that contains Born terms and both vector meson and nucleon resonance contributions. In particular, we review and develop the formalism for coincidence experiments with polarization degrees of freedom. The different response functions appearing in single and double polarization experiments have been studied. We will present calculations for structure functions and kinematical conditions that are most sensitive to details of the lagrangian, in particular with regard to contributions of nucleon resonances beyond the dominant $S_{11}$(1535) resonance.

description: Large-angle fluctuations in the cosmic X-ray background are investigated by a new formalism with a simple model of the X-ray sources. Our method is formulated from the Boltzmann equation and a simple extension of the work by Lahav et al. to be applicable to a hyperbolic (open) universe. The low multipole fluctuations due to the source clustering are analyzed in various cosmological models in both numerical and analytic way. The fluctuations strongly depend on the X-ray sources evolution model, as pointed out previously. It turns out that the nearby ($z \lesssim 0.1$) sources are the dominant contributors to the large-angle fluctuations. If these nearby sources are removed in an observed X-ray map, the dipole (low multipole) moment of the fluctuation drastically decreases. In this case the Compton-Getting effect of an observer's motion can be a dominant contribution to the dipole fluctuation. This feature of fluctuation, relating to the matter power spectrum, is discussed.

description: Vision Ray Calibration provides a description of imaging properties of cameras by identification of an independent vision ray for each sensor pixel. Due to this approach, no model parameters of any cameras are determined in the non-linear optimization procedure of the calibration. Therefore, a setup of multiple cameras can be considered as one imaging system. This enables simultaneous and holistic calibration of an arbitrary number of cameras. Vision Ray Calibration utilizes Liquid Crystal Displays as calibration targets since these can provide the required continuous spatial coding of their surfaces by means of Phase Shifting Technique. However, displays employed as calibration targets exhibit some unfavorable properties such as flatness deviations of the surface. It is known that extending the Vision Ray Calibration by a polynomial parameterization of the display surface increases the calibration accuracy. This work investigates the influence of the order of polynomial terms employed for display surface parameterization. The stereoscopic Fringe Projection enables the evaluation of the calibration accuracy since Vision Ray Calibration of a stereo camera setup provides full system calibration for this technique. Our results confirm the significant improvement of calibration accuracy due to parameterization of flatness deviations of the display. Best calibration results were obtained by limiting the maximum order of polynomial terms to three. Our results indicate that terms of higher orders do not contribute true surface shape features.
A three-sphere microswimmer in a structured fluid

description: We discuss the locomotion of a three-sphere microswimmer in a viscoelastic structured fluid characterized by typical length and time scales. We derive a general expression to link the average swimming velocity to the sphere mobilities. In this relationship, a viscous contribution exists when the time-reversal symmetry is broken, whereas an elastic contribution is present when the structural symmetry of the microswimmer is broken. As an example of a structured fluid, we consider a polymer gel, which is described by a "two-fluid" model. We demonstrate in detail that the competition between the swimmer size and the polymer mesh size gives rise to the rich dynamics of a three-sphere microswimmer.

Saturation properties and incompressibility of nuclear matter: A consistent determination from nuclear masses

description: Starting with a two-body effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, it is shown that the infinite nuclear matter model of atomic nuclei is more appropriate than the conventional Bethe-Weizsacker like mass formulae to extract saturation properties of nuclear matter from nuclear masses. In particular, the saturation density thus obtained agrees with that of electron scattering data and the Hartree-Fock calculations. For the first time using nuclear mass formula, the radius constant $r_0$=1.138 fm and binding energy per nucleon $a_v$ = -16.11 MeV, corresponding to the infinite nuclear matter, are consistently obtained from the same source. An important offshoot of this study is the determination of nuclear matter incompressibility $K_{\infty}$ to be 288$\pm$ 28 MeV using the same source of nuclear masses as input.

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a dual-site experiment for long baseline neutrino oscillation studies, and for neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. The far detector is a 40-kton underground liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LAr TPC), in which the photon detector system adds precise timing capabilities. The ProtoDUNE dual phase detector will consist of a 6x6x6 m^3 LAr TPC to be operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform and the photon detection system will be formed by 8-inch cryogenic photomultipliers from Hamamatsu. The PMT model (R5912-20Mod) performance at cryogenic temperature is studied including dark current, gain, and linearity with the light intensity and pulse rate. In addition, the PMT base design is validated. At cold, a decrease of the PMT amplification, or fatigue effect, is measured as the PMT output current increases, either, due to high gain, light intensity or rate. Also, the characterisation results of the 40 photomultipliers to be used in ProtoDUNE dual phase are presented.

description: Two rival hypotheses have been proposed for the origin of the compact radio flux observed in radio-quiet quasars (RQQs). It has been suggested that the radio emission in these objects, typically some two or three orders of magnitude less powerful than in radio-loud quasars (RLQs), represents either emission from a circumnuclear starburst or is produced by radio jets with bulk kinetic powers 10^3 times lower than those of RLQs with similar luminosity ratios in other wavebands. We describe the results of high resolution (parsec-scale) radio-imaging observations of a sample of 12 RQQs using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). We find strong evidence for jet-producing central engines in 8 members of our sample.

description: Josephson junctions (JJ) are a fundamental component of microwave quantum circuits, such as tunable cavities, qubits and parametric amplifiers. Recently developed encapsulated graphene JJs, with supercurrents extending over micron distance scales, have exciting potential applications as a new building block for quantum circuits. Despite this, the microwave performance of this technology has not been explored. Here, we demonstrate a microwave circuit based on a ballistic graphene JJ embedded in a superconducting cavity. We directly observe a gate-tunable Josephson inductance through the resonance frequency of the device and, using a detailed RF model, we extract this inductance quantitatively. We also observe the microwave losses of the device, and translate this into sub-gap resistances of the junction at μeV energy scales, not accessible in DC measurements. The microwave performance we observe here suggests that graphene Josephson junctions are a feasible platform for implementing coherent quantum circuits.
