The application of computer-assisted translation tools to the teaching of scientific and technological translation English to Chinese
Creators: name: He, Ping
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This research project investigates the function and potentiality of translation technology – including computer assisted translation tools, electronic corpora and internet search engines – in the teaching of scientific and technological translation. English into Chinese is the language pair under discussion in this study. The research is conducted on the basis of empirical methodology, which in this particular case consists of the following procedures: discussing and highlighting the key features of scientific and technological texts; analysing the ways in which translation technology are used in the teaching of translation; positing hypotheses on how the training in the use of translation technology influences the student’s ability to translate; conducting experiments with control and experimental groups in order to test the validity of these hypotheses. The author designed and implemented a controlled experiment on two groups of Master’s students of Translation, in which the experimental group was trained with access to computer-assisted translation tools while the control group was not. Before their training, a translation test was given to students from both groups so as to define their level of translation competence at that time. Afterwards, the experimental group was trained with access to computer-assisted translation tools for four months, while the control group was not exposed to such training. On finishing the training, the students from both groups sat another test which was of approximately the same difficulty as the first test. In addition, a questionnaire was attached to each of the two tests in order to understand the factors behind the students’ performance. The scores obtained for both tests were collected and analysed across horizontal and longitudinal dimensions, with the horizontal analysis comparing the scores of the same test between the two groups and the longitudinal analysis comparing the scores of the two tests done by the same group. The horizontal analysis yielded two major and some minor findings, while the longitudinal analysis led to three major and two minor findings. The ultimate purpose of the thesis is to investigate the impact of translation technology training on the students’ translation competence when dealing with scientific and technological texts.

description: Surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) are much brighter in the IR than they are at optical wavelengths, making it possible to measure greater distances using IR SBFs. We report new K' (2.1 micron) SBF measurements of 9 galaxies in the Fornax and Eridanus clusters using a 1024^2-pixel HgCdTe array. We used improved analysis techniques to remove contributions from globular clusters and background galaxies, and we assess the relative importance of other sources of residual variance. We applied the improved methodology to Fornax and Eridanus images and to previously published Virgo cluster data. Apparent fluctuation magnitudes were used in conjunction with Cepheid distances to M31 and the Virgo cluster to calibrate the K' SBF distance scale. We find the absolute fluctuation magnitude MK'= -5.61+/-0.12, with an intrinsic scatter to the calibration of 0.06 mag. No statistically significant change in MK' is detected as a function of (V-I). Our calibration is consistent with constant age and metallicity stellar population models. The lack of a correlation with (V-I) in the context of the stellar population models implies that elliptical galaxies bluer than (V-I)=1.2 have SBFs dominated by younger (5-8 Gyr) populations. K' SBFs prove to be a reliable distance indicator as long as the residual variance from globular clusters and background galaxies is properly removed. Also, it is important that a sufficiently high S/N ratio be achieved to allow reliable sky subtraction because residual spatial variance can bias the measurement of the SBF power spectrum. (abridged)

description: The quantum-mechanical framework in which observables are associated with Hermitian operators is too narrow to discuss measurements of such important physical quantities as elapsed time or harmonic-oscillator phase. We introduce a broader framework that allows us to derive quantum-mechanical limits on the precision to which a parameter---e.g., elapsed time---may be determined via arbitrary data analysis of arbitrary measurements on $N$ identically prepared quantum systems. The limits are expressed as generalized Mandelstam-Tamm uncertainty relations, which involve the operator that generates displacements of the parameter---e.g., the Hamiltonian operator in the case of elapsed time. This approach avoids entirely the problem of associating a Hermitian operator with the parameter. We illustrate the general formalism, first, with nonrelativistic uncertainty relations for spatial displacement and momentum, harmonic-oscillator phase and number of quanta, and time and energy and, second, with Lorentz-invariant uncertainty relations involving the displacement and Lorentz-rotation parameters of the Poincaré group.

description: Recently a Mellin-space formula was conjectured for the form of correlation functions of $1/2$ BPS operators in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM in the strong 't Hooft coupling limit. In this work we report on the computation of two previously unknown four-point functions of operators with weights $\langle 2345 \rangle$ and $\langle 3456\rangle$, from the effective type-IIB supergravity action using AdS/CFT. These correlators are novel: they are the first correlators with all-different weights and in particular $\langle 3456\rangle$ is the first next-next-next-to-extremal correlator to ever have been computed. We also present simplifications of the known algorithm, without which these computations could not have been executed without considerable computer power. The main simplifications we found are present in the computation of the exchange Lagrangian and in the computation of $a$ tensors. After bringing our results in the appropriate form we successfully corroborate the recently conjectured formula.

Control of wave energy converters
Creators: name: Feng, Zhe
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis, two types of control problems related to wave energy converters are studied. The first type of control problem is active force control. We propose a simple optimal control problem formulation for which, in theory, there is no convexity guarantee. However, we demonstrate that the discretized large-scale nonlinear programming (NLP) problem can be convex and that the convexity is related only to the system parameters and is independent from the excitation force and current state. This important feature implies that we are always able to choose a set of system parameters off-line so that, for the online closed-loop implementation, all the optimization problems are convex. In practice, for a large range of parameter sets, the resulting optimization problems are convex. The second one is known to the wave energy community as passive control. In particular, latching, declutching and latching-declutching control. We propose a unified model based on a hybrid system (a mix of discrete event and continuous-time system) for these passive control implementations. With our model, we formulate the latching-declutching control problem as a small dimensional discrete optimization problem, where the only decision variables are the bounds on the latching time and power-take-off (PTO)-active time. Based on the specific problem we have, we propose a coordinate-search algorithm, which is one of the directional direct search algorithm. The algorithm is able to efficiently solve small dimensional problems with discrete decision variables. We study derivative-free optimization algorithms and reveal a sufficient convergence condition for general directional direct search algorithms. The condition is the formalization of the intuition that: if the search directions intersect the sub-level sets, then any directional direct search algorithm should converge. We illustrate that this is not always true and regularity conditions must be added. Examples are given in order to show some interesting cases. State constraints are rarely discussed for declutching control. In the last part of the thesis we propose a formulation which is able to incorporate state constraints. The formulation results in a mixed-integer nonlinear optimal control problem, which is very hard to solve. Based on a technique known as variable time transform, we are able to reformulate the mixed-integer nonlinear optimal control problem into a large-scale nonlinear programming (NLP) problem. The transformed NLP problem can be solved efficiently by NLP solvers, such as interior point method used in IPOPT.

description: For many physical quantities, theory supplies weak- and strong-coupling expansions of the types $\sum a_n α^n$ and $ α^p\sum b_n (α^{-2/q) ^n$, respectively. Either or both of these may have a zero radius of convergence. We present a simple interpolation algorithm which rapidly converges for an increasing number of known expansion coefficients. The accuracy is illustrated by calculating the ground state energies of the anharmonic oscillator using only the leading large-order coefficient $b_0$ (apart from the trivial expansion coefficent $a_0=1/2$). The errors are less than 0.5 for all g. The algorithm is applied to find energy and mass of the Fröhlich-Feynman polaron. Our mass is quite different from Feynman's variational approach.

description: Observations of clusters and super clusters of galaxies have indicated that the Universe is more dominated by baryons than ever estimated in the homogeneous cosmological model for primordial nucleosynthesis. Recent detections of possibly low deuterium abundance in Lyman-$α$ clouds along the line of sight to high red-shift quasars have raised another potential difficulty that \he4 is overproduced in any cosmological models which satisfy the low deuterium abundance constraint. We show that the inhomogeneous cosmological model with degenerate electron-neutrino can resolve these two difficulties.

description: In this paper, we address the question of stability of protected chiral modes (e.g., helical edge states at the boundary of two-dimensional topological insulators) upon interactions with the external bath. Namely, we study how backscattering amplitude changes when different interaction channels between the system and the environment are present. Depending on the relative strength of the Coulomb and spin-spin channels, we discover three different possible regimes. While the Coulomb interaction on its own naturally amplifies the backscattering and destroys the protection of chiral modes, and the spin-spin channel marginally suppresses backscattering, their interplay can make the backscattering process strictly irrelevant, opening the possibility to use the external spin bath as a stabilizer that alleviates destructive effects and restores the chirality protection.

Biomarkers for ischaemic stroke
Creators: name: Hasan, Nazeeha
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Background: Current diagnostic, prognostic and risk stratification tools are inadequate for effective ischaemic stroke management. Hypothesising that –omics approaches can be used to detect novel candidate biomarkers for ischaemic stroke, this thesis aimed to evaluate the current status of biomarkers for ischaemic stroke and develop strategies for biomarker discovery. Methods: Systematic literature review and individual patient data meta-analyses were performed to assess current candidate biomarkers associated with ischaemic stroke. Proteomic SELDI-TOF MS profiling was undertaken to identify novel blood-based protein biomarkers for the diagnosis of acute ischaemic stroke, consisting of a pilot study and a subsequent well-powered discovery study of 104 patients. In an integrative genomics study, transcriptomics data from carotid endarterectomy samples was combined with a genome-wide association study meta-analysis and subjected to functional enrichment analysis to detect differential gene expression or alternative splicing profiles that may be under the control of a genetic variant. Results: Systematic review and meta-analysis concluded that no current candidate biomarkers could be recommended for routine clinical practice, supporting the pursuit of novel biomarkers for ischaemic stroke and informing the design of subsequent experimental studies. SELDI-TOF MS detected two plasma protein ions, m/z 3699 and m/z 6640, which could differentiate between acute cerebral ischaemia and stroke mimics. Protein ion m/z 6640, identified as ApoC 1, highlighted the role of lipid dysregulation and was postulated to be a novel candidate biomarker for acute cerebral ischaemia. Integrative genomics provided evidence for the genetic regulation of cytoskeletal organisation and extracellular matrix remodelling processes in carotid disease. The LTBP4 gene was found to be a candidate risk biomarker for ischaemic stroke by predicting plaque instability and rupture. Conclusions: This work provides workflows for successful biomarker discovery using innovative –omics approaches, highlights key pathogenic pathways and identifies novel candidate biomarkers for ischaemic stroke diagnosis and risk stratification.
Weak shock propagation with accretion. I. Self-similar solutions and application to failed supernovae

description: We present solutions for the self-similar propagation of a shock wave in a hydrostatic, adiabatic medium with a point mass gravitational field. In contrast to the well-known, Sedov-Taylor blastwave, these solutions apply to the case when the shock Mach number is of order a few, and the energy of the shocked fluid is not conserved but self-consistently modified by the binding energy of the ambient medium that is swept up by the passage of the shock. Furthermore, we show that there is one solution (for a given ambient density profile) that smoothly passes through a sonic point in the post-shock flow and results in accretion onto the central object; in analogy with the Bondi problem, we propose that these solutions are the ones that are most relevant in astrophysical environments. We apply these accreting models to failed supernovae, in which neutron star formation does not unbind the envelope, but a weak shock is still generated in the outer layers of the star from neutrino-induced mass loss. We find excellent agreement between the predictions of our self-similar, shock propagation model and numerical simulations of the collapse of a yellow supergiant; the self-similar solutions reproduce the overall scaling of the shock speed, the time and space-dependent evolution of the velocity, density, and pressure behind the shock, and the accretion rate onto the black hole. Our results have important implications for the fallback and ejection of material in failed supernovae.

On Neutrino Mixing in Matter and CP and T Violation Effects in Neutrino Oscillations

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Aspects of 3-neutrino mixing and oscillations in vacuum and in matter with constant density are investigated working with a real form of the neutrino Hamiltonian. We find the (approximate) equalities $θ^m_{23} = θ_{23}$ and $δ^m = δ$, $θ_{23}$ ($θ^m_{23}$) and $δ$ ($δ^m$) being respectively the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and the Dirac CP violation phase in vacuum (in matter) of the neutrino mixing matrix, which are shown to represent excellent approximations for the conditions of the T2K (T2HK), T2HKK, NO$ν$A and DUNE neutrino oscillation experiments. A new derivation of the known relation $\sin2θ^m_{23} \sinδ^m = \sin2θ_{23} \sinδ$ is presented and it is used to obtain a correlation between the shifts of $θ_{23}$ and $δ$ due to the matter effect. A derivation of the relation between the rephasing invariants which determine the magnitude of CP and T violating effects in 3-flavour neutrino oscillations in vacuum, $J_{\rm CP}$, and of the T violating effects in matter with constant density, $J^{m}_{\rm T} \equiv J^{m}$, reported in \cite{Krastev:1988yu} without a proof, is presented. It is shown that the function $F$ which appears in this relation, $J^{m} = J_{\rm CP}\,F$, and whose explicit form was given in \cite{Krastev:1988yu}, coincides with the function $\tilde{F}$ in the similar relation $J^{m} = J_{\rm CP}\tilde{F}$ derived in \cite{Naumov:1991ju}, although $F$ and $\tilde{F}$ are expressed in terms of different sets of neutrino mass and mixing parameters and have completely different forms.

Geological characterisation of shallow marine-to-deltaic sandstone reservoir targets: Krossfjord and Fensfjord formations, Troll Field, Norwegian North Sea
Creators: name: Holgate, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The sedimentological character and stratigraphic architecture of shallow-marine reservoirs are strongly controlled by the interplay of physical processes that occur at and near the shoreline (e.g. wave- vs. tide- vs. fluvial-dominated). These aspects can be further complicated by the interplay of tectonics in rift basins through fault block rotation, uplift, and subsidence. This thesis presents a subsurface case study from the Middle-to-Upper Jurassic “syn-rift” Krossfjord and Fensfjord formations, Horda Platform, offshore western Norway. The distribution, geometry, and connectivity of these sandbodies are poorly understood, as they have not been the focus of previous work. However, the formations form a significant oil and gas reservoir in the Troll and Brage fields, and a prospective reservoir in the Gjøa Field. Analysis of core and wireline-log data from the Krossfjord and Fensfjord formations identified wave- and tide-dominated deltaic, shoreline and shelf depositional environments. The integration of biostratigraphic data enabled subdivision of the formations into ‘series’ bound by maximum flooding surfaces. The integration of 3D seismic data defined the gross stratigraphic architecture, specifically the stacking patterns of clinoform sets, and enabled further subdivision of the ‘series’. Seismic geomorphological analysis of clinoforms, calibrated using forward seismic models of outcrop analogues, aided interpretation of the shoreline process regime (e.g. relative influence of waves, tides and river-mouth processes) in the context of shoreline trajectories. Palaeogeographic reconstructions illustrate that a subaqueous delta was located over the Troll Field fronting a wave- and current-driven southerly-directed spit during Middle to Late Jurassic times. In conclusion, a robust understanding of the Krossfjord and Fensfjord formations is established in order to drive future exploration in these, and coeval, reservoirs. In addition, the novel forward seismic modelling methodology described herein has wide applications and the results are directly applicable to many other shallow-marine reservoir sandstones, for which the outcrops studied are considered to be sedimentological analogues.
Autonomic function and non-motor symptoms in primary chronic autonomic failure disorders
Creators: name: Vichayanrat, Ekawat
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The autonomic nervous system innervates and influences every organ in the body through two major efferent pathways; the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Autonomic dysfunction, especially orthostatic hypotension (OH) and olfactory dysfunction, are commonly present in a variety of neurological disorders, particularly, multiple system atrophy (MSA) and allied disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Pure Autonomic Failure (PAF) and can significantly impact quality of life and cause significant morbidity. Similarly, non-motor symptoms have been increasingly recognized in PD. The overlapping autonomic features of PD, PAF and MSA, e.g., OH, can sometimes make it difficult to differentiate a diagnosis between these conditions. The further evaluation of autonomic function, e.g., cardiovascular, olfactory and gastrointestinal function, in patients with primary chronic autonomic failure disorders could offer better diagnostic accuracy, improve the understanding of disease progression and inform the development of treatments. Cardiovascular autonomic function screening tests are commonly used to confirm a diagnosis of autonomic failure, e.g., orthostatic hypotension, but OH is not often reliable for distinguishing between PD and MSA. Novel indices of cardiovascular autonomic function in patients with chronic autonomic failure have therefore been evaluated as well as the severity of olfactory dysfunction and other non-motor (e.g., daily activities and depression) symptoms in MSA, PD and PAF. Results demonstrated that baroreflex sensitivity and blood pressure recovery time (BRPT) in response to the Valsalva Manoeuvre are useful for differentiating MSA from PD with autonomic failure (PD+AF). BPRT was also significantly prolonged in PD patients compared to healthy controls. In addition, an association of BPRT and disease duration in PD also suggests that this index may be useful for monitoring disease progression in PD. Other findings indicated that assessing olfactory function is also helpful for distinguishing between PD, MSA and PAF. A greater degree of depression and impairment of daily activities in MSA relative to PD and PAF were also evident. In order to further investigate the presenting symptoms and features of PAF, a time when diagnosis is often still unclear, and other disorders, such as MSA, can be suspected, the clinical characteristics and laboratory investigations, in a large cohort of PAF patients were examined. Results indicated that abnormal white matter lesions are prevalent in PAF. Furthermore, gastrointestinal symptoms were also evident in PAF and can also occur in other autonomic disorders, e.g., MSA. Using electrogastrography, impaired indexes of gastric motility were also evident in PAF.

The legitimation of foriegn organisational forms: the role of translation and theorisation

description: I draw on an in-depth longitudinal analysis of the adoption of an American organizational form, namely ‘Academic Health Science Centre’ (or ‘AHSC’), in the field of the British health care from 1989 to 2009 to examine translation processes of foreign organizational forms. I draw upon two institutional approaches that have been traditionally treated separately – institutional translation and theorization – to examine how the translation was successful, given the significantly different institutional contexts of the two countries. I found that the adoption of the new and foreign organizational form as in the present case study unfolds over three phases – activation, dormancy, and reactivation. I also found that translation and theorization operated in configurations that underpinned the three phases of the process. In addition, my empirical data also supported that translation is actually not a planned and purposeful process, as extant research implies. Rather, translation is embedded within complexity and randomness, which can be conceptualized by using the garbage can model. I thus argue that successful translation depends on the presence of various elements: strategic actors with motivation, opportunity, and capacity to promote the organizational form; existence of powerful problems; and field receptivity that facilitates the organizational form. These findings contribute to two literatures. The first contribution is to the translation literature by providing more nuanced view of translation and a new insight into how translation actually works by drawing on the garbage can model. More importantly, they highlight the temporal dimension in the translation process. The second contribution is to the theorization literature by highlighting strategies underlying theorization that contributes to legitimacy of foreign organizational forms.

description: For a given ensemble of $N$ independent and identically prepared particles, we calculate the binary decision costs of different strategies for measurement of polarised spin 1/2 particles. The result proves that, for any given values of the prior probabilities and any number of constituent particles, the cost for a combined measurement is always less than or equal to that for any combination of separate measurements upon sub-ensembles. The Bayes cost, which is that associated with the optimal strategy (i.e., a combined measurement) is obtained in a simple closed form.

Spin wave effects in transport between a ferromagnet and a Weyl semimetal surface

description: We experimentally investigate spin-polarized transport between a ferromagnetic Ni electrode and a surface of Weyl semimetal, realized in a thick WTe$_2$ single crystal. For highly-transparent Ni-WTe$_2$ planar junctions, we observe non-Ohmic $dV/dI(I)$ behavior with an overall increase of differential resistance $dV/dI$ with current bias, which is accomplished by current-induced switchings. This behavior is inconsistent with trivial interface scattering, but it is well known for spin-polarized transport with magnon emission. Thus, we interpret the experimental results in terms of spin wave excitation in spin textures in the WTe$_2$ topological surface states, which is supported by the obtained magnetic field and temperature $dV/dI(I)$ dependencies.

description: We investigate the short, medium, and long-range structure of soft disk configurations for a wide range of area fractions and simulation protocols by converting the real-space spectrum of volume fraction fluctuations for windows of width $L$ to the distance $h(L)$ from the window boundary over which fluctuations occur. Rapidly quenched unjammed configurations exhibit size-dependent super-Poissonian long-range features that, surprisingly, approach the totally-random limit even close to jamming. Above and just below jamming, the spectra exhibit a plateau, $h(L)=h_e$, for $L$ larger than particle size and smaller than a cutoff $L_c$ beyond which there are long-range fluctuations. The value of $h_e$ is independent of protocol and characterizes the putative hyperuniform limit. This behavior is compared with that for Einstein solids, with and without hyperuniformity-destroying defects. We find that key structural features of the particle configurations are more evident, as well as easier and more intuitive to quantify, using the real-space spectrum of hyperuniformity lengths rather than the spectral density.

description: The used car market plays a significant role in the automotive industry, offering consumers an affordable alternative to new vehicles. This study employs statistical techniques to analyze secondary data on used cars, aiming to gain insights into usability, performance, and affordability factors that influence consumer decisions. The analysis utilizes time series methods, including moving averages and the least squares method, to identify trends and construct trendlines for variables such as mileage and engine displacement. Additionally, chain-based index numbers are computed to track relative changes in these variables over time, facilitating comparisons across periods. The findings reveal fluctuating patterns in mileage and engine displacement, potentially influenced by economic conditions, consumer preferences, and technological advancements. The trendline analysis suggests a decreasing trend in mileage, which may indicate evolving consumer demand for used cars. Furthermore, the index numbers highlight notable spikes and dips in mileage and engine displacement, offering valuable insights into market dynamics. This study contributes to a better understanding of the used car market, providing a quantitative basis for stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding pricing, inventory management, and consumer targeting strategies within the automotive industry.

description: In this letter we present an idea which reconciles a homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann universe with a fractal distribution of galaxies. We use two observational facts: The flat rotation curves of galaxies and the (still debated) fractal distribution of galaxies with fractal dimension D=2. Our idea can also be interpreted as a redefinition of the notion of bias.

Variational Resummation of Divergent Series with known Large-Order Behavior
Creators: name: Kleinert, H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently-developed variational perturbation expansions converge exponentially fast for positive coupling constants. They do not, however, possess the correct left-hand cut in the complex coupling constant plane, implying a wrong large-order behavior of their Taylor expansion coefficients. We correct this deficiency and present a method of resumming divergent series with their proper large-order behavior. For a given set of expansion coefficients, knowledge of the large-order behavior considerably improves the quality of the approximation.

20 years of photometric microlensing events predicted by Gaia DR2: Potential planet-hosting lenses within 100 pc

description: Context. Gaia DR2 offers unparalleled precision on stars' parallaxes and proper motions. This allows the prediction of microlensing events for which the lens stars (and any planets they possess) are nearby and may be well studied and characterised. Aims. We identify a number of potential microlensing events that will occur before the year 2035.5, 20 years from the Gaia DR2 reference epoch. Methods. We query Gaia DR2 for potential lenses within 100 pc, extract parallaxes and proper motions of the lenses and background sources, and identify potential lensing events. We estimate the lens masses from Priam effective temperatures, and use these to calculate peak magnifications and the size of the Einstein radii relative to the lens stars' habitable zones. Results. We identify 7 future events with a probability > 10% of an alignment within one Einstein radius. Of particular interest is DR2 5918299904067162240 (WISE J175839.20-583931.6), magnitude G = 14.9, which will lens a G = 13.9 background star in early 2030, with a median 23% net magnification. Other pairs are typically fainter, hampering characterisation of the lens (if the lens is faint) or the ability to accurately measure the magnification (if the source is much fainter than the lens). Of timely interest is DR2 4116504399886241792 (2MASS J17392440-2327071), which will lens a background star in July 2020, albeit with weak net magnification (0.03%). Median magnifications for the other 5 high-probability events range from 0.3% to 5.3%. The Einstein radii for these lenses are 1-10 times the radius of the habitable zone, allowing these lensing events to pick out cold planets around the ice line, and filling a gap between transit and current microlensing detections of planets around very low-mass stars. Conclusions. We provide a catalogue of the predicted events to aid future characterisation efforts... [abridged]
