An Experimental and Numerical Investigation into Permeability and Injectivity Changes during CO2 Storage in Saline Aquifers
Creators: name: Bacci, Giacomo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: CO2 storage appears as one of the best solutions to effectively decrease carbon emissions into the atmosphere in the short to medium term. CO2 can be stored in different types of geological formations. Among the various storing options, deep saline aquifers have the greatest capacity. As supercritical CO2 is injected in the aquifers, a number of strongly coupled chemical and physical processes occur. Among these various mechanisms, dissolution and precipitation of minerals, in particular carbonates, and halite deposition due to vapourisation of water require particular attention as they can lead to significant reduction in injectivity. This research investigated the mechanisms involved in injectivity losses through experimental and theoretical methods. The impact on injectivity of permeability changes occurring at various distances from the wellbore was studied using an idealised 1-D CO2 injection well flow model. A new experimental set-up was used to investigate the effect on dissolution/precipitation mechanisms of the pressure and temperature changes that the fluid is subjected to as it advances from the wellbore. Additional CO2 core flooding experiments were conducted on limestone and sandstone cores saturated with saline water in order to study the effects of water vapourisation. These vapourisation experiments aimed to provide a relationship between porosity changes and resulting permeability variations representing the effect of salt precipitation due to vapourisation. Such relationship was used to obtain more accurate results from a 2-D radial CO2 injection well flow model studying the effect of salt precipitation on the field. Numerical modelling of the injection wellbore have shown that changes in the petrophysical properties of the reservoir several metres away from the wellbore can still have a significant impact on injectivity. As indicated by the experimental research carried out, pressure and temperature gradients that exist inside the reservoirs may lead to re-precipitation in the far field, however no significant permeability and porosity changes were detected to suggest major losses of injectivity due to these effects. The results of vapourisation experiments have shown that small reduction in porosity can induce significant impairments in permeability. Results of the 2-D model showed that without appropriate injection strategies the technical and economical feasibility of CO2 storage projects can be compromised due to this effect. The numerical study also highlighted the possibility of the progressive formation of a layer of halite scaling in the interface between host-rock and cap-rock which would work as an extra sealing protection in the near wellbore area.
The analysis of iron-responsive transcriptional regulation in the intracellular human pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis
Creators: name: Thompson, Christopher C.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The host-pathogen interaction is dictated by the competition for nutrients. Iron is a rare, but critical component for several conserved biochemical reactions, and as such, is at the forefront in the competition between host and pathogen. The obligate intracellular human pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis, enters an alternative growth mode when iron is depleted within the host. Termed persistence, this growth mode is characterized by the arrest of development until suitable conditions arise within the host cell, and is likely an important evolutionary mechanism for chronic infection that has been linked to multiple sequelae of infection in vivo. Despite the relevance of persistence in human disease, the sensory and response mechanisms that trigger this alternative growth mode are not understood. The research presented in this report demonstrates a new, robust model for the iron-restriction of intracellular-dwelling C. trachomatis. The model was used to elicit uniform populations of persistent Chlamydiae in vitro, which allowed accurate analysis of differential transcription under iron-starvation conditions. From these studies, the gene ytgA, which is predicted to function as part of an ABC-metal transport complex, was elevated upon low-iron availability. The identification of the trans- and cis-regulatory factors responsible for the modulation of ytgA transcription was attempted. Our research indicates that the ytgC, which exists in an operon with ytgA, encodes a genetic fusion between a predicted membrane channel forming polypeptide (N-terminus) and a metal-dependent DNA binding polypeptide (C-terminus), which we have termed C-YtgC. C-YtgC recognized the IGR upstream of ytgA in an iron-dependent manner in vitro, providing a molecular mechanism for the regulation of ytgA under iron-limiting conditions. Two regions containing cis-regulatory elements within the IGR of ytgA were identified for this binding. Additional preliminary evidence suggests a mechanism for the liberation of the C-YtgC polypeptide from the membrane channel portion of the protein. In summary, the research presented in this report has gained significant advances in the field of Chlamydia iron-biology. The search for a robust iron-restriction model has implicated that the chlamydial iron source may be cytosolic, rather than endocytic. Furthermore, the characterization of a novel trans-regulatory factor suggests that Chlamydia may employ a sophisticated regulatory network for maintenance of iron-homeostasis. Continued research into the mechanisms of iron acquisition is warranted, considering the strong link between low-iron availability and chronic infection.
Measurement and Prediction of the Viscosity of Hydrocarbon Mixtures and Crude Oils
Creators: name: Ijaz, Faheem
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons whose physical properties vary significantly with its composition, temperature and pressure. Viscosity is a particularly important property influencing the flow of oil in hydrocarbon reservoirs and its displacement by water and other fluids during production processes. The modelling and optimisation of such processes would be greatly aided by models which predict the viscosity of crude oils at (high) reservoir temperatures and pressures (HTHP), ideally from a knowledge of the oil composition. This research has involved making accurate HTHP viscosity measurements on a range of hydrocarbon systems and using these to evaluate the ability of an effective hard-sphere model to predict the data with minimal calibration. In the first phase, the viscosity and density of a range of pure hydrocarbons, representative of those found in crude oils, and their mixtures, were measured at temperatures and pressures covering typical reservoir conditions (up to 448.15 K and 135 MPa). The vibrating wire technique was used for viscosity in conjunction with a vibrating U-tube densimeter. The ability of the Dymond-Assael (DA) effective hard-sphere model to correlate and predict the viscosity of both the pure components and the complex mixtures was investigated. Agreement for pure components was within ± 5 % whereas for the mixtures this ranged from ± 5% to ± 25 % depending on the complexity. The same thermophysical properties were determined for two North Sea crude oil samples at temperatures ranging from (298.15 to 448.15) K and pressures up to 135 MPa. The effect of adding an alkane mixture diluent was also investigated. It was found that by treating the crude oils as effective single hydrocarbon components, the Dymond-Assael model could correlate their viscosity to within the experimental uncertainty and that of the diluted crudes to within ±10%. The overall study gives encouragement that a limited number of calibration viscosity/density measurements on a crude oil should enable prediction of its viscosity over a wide range of temperatures and pressures and enable viscosity changes to be predicted when crude oils are mixed with components whose DA parameters are known.

description: Inspired by the recent development of deep network-based methods in semantic image segmentation, we introduce an end-to-end trainable model for face mask extraction in video sequence. Comparing to landmark-based sparse face shape representation, our method can produce the segmentation masks of individual facial components, which can better reflect their detailed shape variations. By integrating Convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM) algorithm with Fully Convolutional Networks (FCN), our new ConvLSTM-FCN model works on a per-sequence basis and takes advantage of the temporal correlation in video clips. In addition, we also propose a novel loss function, called Segmentation Loss, to directly optimise the Intersection over Union (IoU) performances. In practice, to further increase segmentation accuracy, one primary model and two additional models were trained to focus on the face, eyes, and mouth regions, respectively. Our experiment shows the proposed method has achieved a 16.99% relative improvement (from 54.50% to 63.76% mean IoU) over the baseline FCN model on the 300 Videos in the Wild (300VW) dataset.

Superluminal motions (and microwave propagation) in Special Relativity: Solution of the causal paradoxes
Creators: name: Recami, Erasmo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some recent experiments, performed at Berkeley, Cologne, Florence and Vienna led to the claim that something seems to travel with a speed larger than the speed c of light in vacuum. Various other experimental results seem to point in the same direction: For instance, localized wavelet-type solutions of Maxwell equations have been found, both theoretically and experimentally, that travel with Superluminal speed. Even muonic and electronic neutrinos --it has been proposed-- might be "tachyons", since their square mass appears to be negative; not to mention the apparent Superluminal expansions observed in the core of quasars and, recently, in the so-called galactic microquasars. In the first part of this paper we verify, on the basis of the numerical solution of Maxwell equations, that waves propagating down a microwave guide can travel with Superluminal group velocity, just confirming some of the previously mentioned experimental results. Then, we have to face the question of Superluminal motions within the theory of Special Relativity. It is not widely recognized that all such theoretical and experimental results do not place relativistic causality in jeopardy. For instance, it is possible (at least in microphysics) to solve also the known causal paradoxes, devised for "faster than light" motion. Here we show, in detail and rigorously, how to solve the oldest causal paradox, originally proposed by Tolman, which is the kernel of many further tachyon paradoxes. The key to the solution is a careful application of tachyon mechanics, as it unambiguously follows from Special Relativity.

description: The Nellis Air Force Base proposes to develop Cliff Spring and place a semi-permanent to permanent water source for wild horses approximately one kilometer south-west of Cliff Spring. The placement of this new watering station is not covered under the data recovery plan for the mitigation of effects on the Cliff Spring Site, 26Ny377 (Rhode and Amick 1990), and also was not covered under previous surveys conducted by ORI (Rhode 1989). Consequently, a cultural resource survey was conducted to identify any cultural resources that may exist in the proposed impact areas, and to evaluate the potential for adverse effects to those cultural resources resulting from the developmental activities. The survey of the area revealed that abundant cultural remains were present in the area of proposed disturbance. A diffuse prehistoric and historic scatter extends for 1.2 kilometers along the existing road leading to Cliff Spring.

description: The adiabatic motion of a charged, spinning, quantum particle in a two - dimensional magnetic field is studied. A suitable set of operators generalizing the cinematical momenta and the guiding center operators of a particle moving in a homogeneous magnetic field is constructed. This allows us to separate the two degrees of freedom of the system into a {\sl fast} and a {\sl slow} one, in the classical limit, the rapid rotation of the particle around the guiding center and the slow guiding center drift. In terms of these operators the Hamiltonian of the system rewrites as a power series in the magnetic length $\lb=\sqrt{\hbar c\over eB}$ and the fast and slow dynamics separates. The effective guiding center Hamiltonian is obtained to the second order in the adiabatic parameter $\lb$ and reproduces correctly the classical limit.

The influence of unsteady streaks on the stability of flat plate boundary layers
Creators: name: Vaughan, Nicholas James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The natural mechanism for transition to turbulence in flat-plate boundary layers is the growth and breakdown of Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) waves. In the presence of significant free-stream turbulence (FST) however, streamwise velocity perturbations, known as Klebanoff modes or streaks, amplify inside the boundary layer. These distortions alter the stability characteristics of the boundary layer, and the natural mechanism is bypassed, leading to earlier transition. Herein, a model is employed to describe the Klebanoff distortions: one Fourier component of the FST is used along with its signature inside the shear region to force the boundary layer and stimulate streaks. Varying the parameters of the forcing mode causes streaks with different frequencies and amplitudes. A base flow which is periodic in two dimensions is formed, and its linear stability is investigated using Floquet theory. Two modes emerge as the most unstable, and their eigenvalues are tracked whilst varying streak frequency and amplitude. The ‘inner’ mode, is related to the TS wave, but its growth rate is enhanced by unsteady streaks. The ‘outer’ mode is a high-frequency instability of the streaks at the edge of the boundary layer. It has no counterpart in the undisturbed boundary-layer. The critical streak amplitude for the outer mode is calculated for different streak frequencies and it agrees more closely with experiments than previous analyses which assumed the streaks to be steady. The current analysis indicates that increasing the frequency of the streaks can enhance their instability. In fact an optimum frequency exists for free-stream disturbances to penetrate the shear and stimulate unstable streaks. Direct numerical simulations with streaks and secondary-instability eigenmodes are conducted. The simulations show that both the inner and outer mode can grow to nonlinear amplitudes and cause boundary-layer transition to turbulence.

description: We report a study of quantum oscillations in the high-field magneto-resistance of the nodal-line semimetal HfSiS. In the presence of a magnetic field up to 31 T parallel to the c-axis, we observe quantum oscillations originating both from orbits of individual electron and hole pockets, and from magnetic breakdown between these pockets. In particular, we find an oscillation associated with a breakdown orbit enclosing one electron and one hole pocket in the form of a `figure of eight'. This observation represents an experimental confirmation of the momentum space analog of Klein tunneling. When the c-axis and the magnetic field are misaligned with respect to one another, this oscillation rapidly decreases in intensity. Finally, we extract the cyclotron masses from the temperature dependence of the oscillations, and find that the mass of the 'figure of eight' orbit corresponds to the sum of the individual pockets, consistent with theoretical predictions for Klein tunneling in topological semimetals.

Six sonification algorithms are presented that each produce an auditory display. These algorithms are logically designed from the simple through to the more complex. Three of these parse individual nucleotides, nucleotide pairs or codons into musical notes to give rise to 4, 16 or 64 notes, respectively. Codons may also be parsed degenerately into 20 notes with respect to the genetic code. Lastly nucleotide pairs can be parsed as two separate frames or codons can be parsed as three reading frames giving rise to multiple streams of audio.

We show here experimentally and numerically that adding a static temperature gradient has a significant effect on the equilibrium film thickness and height profile reached in spin coating. Our results suggest that thermal gradients can be used to control film height profile dynamics.

description: By means of powder neutron diffraction we investigate changes in the magnetic structure of the coplanar non-collinear antiferromagnet Mn$_3$Ge caused by an application of hydrostatic pressure up to 5\phantom{ }GPa. At ambient conditions the kagomé layers of Mn atoms in Mn$_3$Ge order in a triangular 120$^{\circ}$ spin structure. Under high pressure the spins acquire a uniform out-of-plane canting, gradually transforming the magnetic texture to a non-coplanar configuration. With increasing pressure the canted structure fully transforms into the collinear ferromagnetic one. We observed that magnetic order is accompanied by a noticeable magnetoelastic effect, namely, spontaneous magnetostriction. The latter induces an in-plane magnetostrain of the hexagonal unit cell at ambient pressure and flips to an out-of-plane strain at high pressures in accordance with the change of the magnetic structure.

Digital Microfluidic Platforms for Automated Chemical Reactions
Creators: name: Elvira, Katherine S
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Microfluidic technology allows the miniaturisation and automation of chemical and biological processes. Specific advantages include the ease of process automation and integration, high analytical throughput, reduced sample and power consumption, increased speed and efficiency of reactions and system portability. Droplet-based microfluidics can be broadly categorised into 'conventional' channel devices or digital microfluidic (DMF) devices. The latter are also known as electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) devices. Both platforms have distinct characteristics, with specific advantages and disadvantages when applied to chemical or biological analysis. High-throughput droplet manipulation is easily achieved with channel microfluidic devices, but it is hard to access individual droplets in this format. On the other hand, DM devices are designed for the manipulation of individual droplets in low-throughput. The bulk of the work in this thesis focuses on developing a complete platform for droplet manipulation using digital microfluidics. Extensive experimentation was undertaken to determine all relevant components of the device, including the composition of the dielectric layer, electrodes and hydrophobic layer. Once the optimum device had been constructed and tested, full automation of device function and droplet manipulation was achieved. Characterisation of on-chip droplet operations was subsequently performed. Special attention was given to droplet 'dispensing' and 'splitting'. Once the fabricated DMF devices had been fully characterised, three proof of principle experiments were developed to investigate the capabilities of DMF devices. To this aim, first a fluorescent dilution series was performed and characterised on-chip, second a peptide bond formation experiment was performed, and finally, iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis was performed on-chip. The integration of DMF devices with a miniaturised spectrometer was used to provide an on-line detection system. Channel microfluidic devices were also investigated with respect to the high-through-put creation of droplet interface bilayers (DIBs). Aqueous droplets containing lipids were formed in an oil carrier medium. As droplets were brought together a lipid bilayer was formed at the interface, creating an artificial membrane. This approach can be used as a platform technology to study trans-membrane proteins and drug-membrane interactions. Although there has been a lot of interest in this area, previous work has focused on the low-throughput formation of DIBs. The method developed here enables the formation of DIBs at rates in excess of 1 DIB per second.

description: In this short note we would like to propose a form for the action of a non-BPS D-brane, which will be manifestly supersymmetric invariant and T-duality covariant. We also explicitly show that tachyon condensation on the world-volume of this brane leads to the Dirac-Born-Infeld action for BPS D(p-1)-brane.

description: Designing hierarchical reinforcement learning algorithms that exhibit safe behaviour is not only vital for practical applications but also, facilitates a better understanding of an agent's decisions. We tackle this problem in the options framework, a particular way to specify temporally abstract actions which allow an agent to use sub-policies with start and end conditions. We consider a behaviour as safe that avoids regions of state-space with high uncertainty in the outcomes of actions. We propose an optimization objective that learns safe options by encouraging the agent to visit states with higher behavioural consistency. The proposed objective results in a trade-off between maximizing the standard expected return and minimizing the effect of model uncertainty in the return. We propose a policy gradient algorithm to optimize the constrained objective function. We examine the quantitative and qualitative behaviour of the proposed approach in a tabular grid-world, continuous-state puddle-world, and three games from the Arcade Learning Environment: Ms.Pacman, Amidar, and Q*Bert. Our approach achieves a reduction in the variance of return, boosts performance in environments with intrinsic variability in the reward structure, and compares favorably both with primitive actions as well as with risk-neutral options.

Studies on cross presentation of antigen by human dendritic cells

description: It is widely acknowledged that an HIV-1 vaccine requires a robust CD8+ T-cell response to effectively combat HIV-1. However, past vaccine candidates have failed to stimulate adequate cellular responses in humans, highlighting the need to explore alternative ways to induce strong cellular immunity. Animal studies have shown that if exogenous antigen can be targeted to dendritic cells (DCs), strong CD8+ T-cell responses can be generated via the cross-presentation pathway. In this study we evaluated the ability of four DC surface receptors in two different human DC subsets (monocyte-derived DCs and blood myeloid CDlc+ DCs) to efficiently target model antigens to the cross-presentation pathway to induce enhanced CD8+ T-cell responses. These receptors included DEC-205, MMR, DC-SIGN and/or CD1a. Four receptor-targeting strategies were explored, each exploiting receptor-specific antibodies in various ways to direct antigen towards the respective receptors. Initially, selected model antigens (CMV pp65, MART-1, and streptavidin-fusion proteins) were produced in large quantities for in vitro experiments. Two expression systems were evaluated to produce antigens, namely, the generation of a stably-expressing cell line and a recombinant adenovirus expression system (AES). The AES emerged as a better expression system, and was used to produce the proteins of interest. These proteins were then purified using a Nickel-NTA/anti-His tag column, and yield and purity of recombinant proteins were determined. The immunogenicity of the purified antigens was assessed to confirm the integrity of the bulk-produced proteins. Additionally, TLR agonists were evaluated for their ability to augment T-cell responses. LPS (TLR4 agonist) was determined to be the favoured agonist. The strategy utilising chemically-conjugated antigen-antibodies yielded the most significant enhancements in CD8+ T-cell proliferative responses, specifically for targeting of DEC-205, as well as MMR. Overall, this study details the successful design and production of various DC receptor targeting reagents, and goes on to assess the efficacy of novel receptor targeting strategies to enhance CD8+ T-cell responses for the eventual purpose of improving current HIV-1 vaccine strategies.

Reconnaissance / Survey

description: Surveys within approximately 32.9 hectares (81.45 acres) around this proposed disturbance, including several alternative sites for facility placement, failed to locate any new cultural resources, but did help to clarify and redefine the significance of three previously identified cultural resources (26NY8618; 26NY9123 and 26NY9127). All three of these properties are recommended to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as historic properties and should be protected from any adverse effects. Through the relocation and modification of two of the three proposed facilities and several of the originally proposed routes for utility lines and cable trays, it is recommended that the U. S. Air Force's proposed undertaking, as outlined below, will not adversely affect any known historic properties.

description: In a biometric verification system, leakage of biometric data leads to permanent identity loss since original biometric data is inherently linked to a user. Further, various types of attacks on a biometric system may reveal the original template and utility in other applications. To address these security and privacy concerns cancelable biometric has been introduced. Cancelable biometric constructs a protected template from the original biometric template using transformation functions and performs the comparison between templates in the transformed domain. Recent approaches towards cancelable fingerprint generation either rely on aligning minutiae points with respect to singular points (core/delta) or utilize the absolute coordinate positions of minutiae points. In this paper, we propose a novel non-invertible ridge feature transformation method to protect the original fingerprint template information. The proposed method partitions the fingerprint region into a number of sectors with reference to each minutia point employing a ridge-based co-ordinate system. The nearest neighbor minutiae in each sector are identified, and ridge-based features are computed. Further, a cancelable template is generated by applying the Cantor pairing function followed by random projection. We have evaluated our method with FVC2002, FVC2004 and FVC2006 databases. It is evident from the experimental results that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in the literature. Moreover, the security analysis demonstrates that the proposed method fulfills the necessary requirements of non-invertibility, revocability, and diversity with a minor performance degradation caused due to cancelable transformation.
