description: We study the cosmology on the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker background in scalar-vector-tensor theories with a broken $U(1)$ gauge symmetry. For parity-invariant interactions arising in scalar-vector-tensor theories with second-order equations of motion, we derive conditions for the absence of ghosts and Laplacian instabilities associated with tensor, vector, and scalar perturbations at linear order. This general result is applied to the computation of the primordial tensor power spectrum generated during inflation as well as to the speed of gravity relevant to dark energy. We also construct a concrete inflationary model in which a temporal vector component $A_0$ contributes to the dynamics of cosmic acceleration besides a scalar field $ϕ$ through their kinetic mixings. In this model, we show that all the stability conditions of perturbations can be consistently satisfied during inflation and subsequent reheating.

description: The detection of resonance absorption lines against known objects such as individual galaxies and clusters of galaxies is a powerful approach for studying the gas content of these systems. We describe an efficient method of identifying background quasars suitable for absorption line studies. In this finding technique, we identify serendipitous X-ray sources, about 1/8 of which are suitably bright quasars at moderate redshift. We identify 16 new quasars and galaxies with active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and confirm 5 known quasars and AGNs, superimposed behind elliptical galaxies and clusters of galaxies. We also present 3 QSO/AGN candidates with uncertain redshift identifications.

description: A simple method is presented to evaluate the effects of short-range correlations on the momentum distribution of nucleons in nuclear matter within the framework of the Green's function approach. The method provides a very efficient representation of the single-particle Green's function for a correlated system. The reliability of this method is established by comparing its results to those obtained in more elaborate calculations. The sensitivity of the momentum distribution on the nucleon-nucleon interaction and the nuclear density is studied. The momentum distributions of nucleons in finite nuclei are derived from those in nuclear matter using a local-density approximation. These results are compared to those obtained directly for light nuclei like $^{16}O$.

Frequency and voltage control in mixed AC and DC transmission networks
Creators: name: Spallarossa, Claudia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The construction of a European Super Grid, where existing AC systems are connected through High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) corridors, is one contribution to accommodating a high penetration of renewable energy by diversifying the energy mix and trading surpluses from some regions. This raises questions over the dynamics of mixed AC and DC systems that need to be thoroughly studied. This thesis examines the level of coupling of AC networks interconnected via HVDC and the provision of system services between AC networks via DC links. Since areas such as the North Sea may see interconnected DC links, control of such multi-terminal DC grids (MTDC) in the case of converter outages is also pursued. To form realistic case studies, a number of mixed AC and DC transmission networks were modelled and validated, in particular a dynamic equivalent model of the Great Britain transmission system coupled via voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC to the Scandinavian transmission network. To answer questions over the interaction of the dynamics of modular multi-level converters (MMC) with AC system dynamics, reduced dynamic models of such converters were developed taking an energy balancing approach. The impacts that two-level or modular multi-level VSCs produce on the dynamics of the hosting AC grids were investigated through perturbation studies. The displacement of conventional generation by converter-interfaced sources sees a decrease in frequency response provision and inertia and calls for alternative provision. Several methods for enhancing the frequency recovery (post outage) of AC grids were designed for and applied to VSCs of HVDC interconnectors. Supplementary droop control was found to improve the frequency nadir after a loss of in-feed event at the cost of passing some of that loss to the adjacent AC systems via the HVDC interconnection. Identifying and exploiting the overload capability of MMC enabled the sharing of primary reserves and improvement of the nadir frequency by allowing extra power to be transferred through HVDC links. Proposals to use the internal energy storage capability of MMCs for inertia provisions were investigated but the results show that the scope for this is very limited. It is important that where MTDC grids are envisaged, the power flow control is able to deal with converter station outages and not cause large disturbance to the DC or AC networks. Deficiencies with proposed methods were identified and a new proposal for coordinated control with multiple bus masters was made and control performance improvements demonstrated.

description: The reaction rate of the nuclear fusion d+Li6 ----> Be8*(2+,0) is estimated in the case where the nuclei are confined to each other by a muon. For the description of nuclear transitions, a method which is analogous to the Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals has been used. Using the complex coordinate rotation method, we found that a molecular d-mu-Li6 state exists with energy (-20.3084-i0.0066) eV and |Ψ_{m}(0)|=0.44x10^{-7} fm^-3/2. The nuclear wave functions needed, were constructed in the form of antisymmetrized products of harmonic-oscillator functions for the three-cluster approximation, (ddα), to the five-body (NNNNα) problem. It was found that the reaction rate λis strongly dependent on the energy gap between the d-Li6 threshold and the energy of the final Be8^* resonant state. The value of λobtained by averaging over the width of this resonance, is 0.183x10^10 sec^{-1}.

The Distribution of Collisionally Induced Blue Stragglers in the Colour-Magnitude Diagram

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A primary production mechanism for blue stragglers in globular clusters is thought to be collisionally-induced mergers, perhaps mediated by dynamical encounters involving binary stars. We model the formation and evolution of such blue stragglers, and produce theoretical distributions of them in the colour-magnitude diagram. We use a crude representation of cluster dynamics and detailed binary-single star encounter simulations to produce cross sections and rates for a variety of collisions. The results of the collisions are determined based on SPH simulations of realistic star models. The evolution of the collision products are then followed in detail. We use our results to explore the effects of a variety of input assumptions on the number and kind of blue stragglers created by collisions. In particular, we describe the changes in the blue straggler distribution that result from using realistic collision products rather than the ``fully-mixed'' assumption, and from changes in assumptions about the number and orbital period distribution of the primordial binary population. We then apply our models to existing data from the core of M3, where the large blue straggler population is thought to be dominated by collision products. We find that we have difficulty successfully modeling the observed blue stragglers under a single consistent set of assumptions. However, if 3 particularly bright blue stragglers are considered to be part of a different observed population, the remainder can be successfully modeled using realistic encounter products and assuming a 20% binary fraction with plausible period distribution.

description: The Szego-Widom theorem provides an expression for the determinant of block Toeplitz matrices in the asymptotic limit of large matrix dimension n. We show that the presence of zero modes, i.e, eigenvalues that vanish as α^n, |α|<1, when n \to \infty, require a modification of the Szego-Widom theorem. A new asymptotic expression for the determinant of a certain class of block Toeplitz matrices with one pair of zero modes is derived. The result is inspired by 1-dimensional topological superconductors, and the relation with the latter systems is discussed.

description: We present the results of energy-dependent and single-energy partial-wave analyses of $π$N elastic scattering data with laboratory kinetic energies below 2.1~GeV. Resonance structures have been extracted using Breit-Wigner fits, speed plots, and a complex plane mapping of the associated poles and zeroes. This is the first set of resonance parameters from a VPI analysis constrained by fixed-t dispersion relations. We have searched our solutions for structures which may have been missed in our previous analyses, finding candidates in the $S_{11}$ and $F_{15}$ partial-wave amplitudes. Our results are compared with those found by the Karlsruhe, Carnegie-Mellon$-$Berkeley, and Kent State groups.

Non-equilibrium effects in steady relativistic $e^+e^-γ$ winds

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We consider an ultra-relativistic wind consisting of electron-positron pairs and photons with the principal goal of finding the asymptotic Lorentz factor $γ_{\infty}$ for zero baryon number. The wind is assumed to originate at radius $r_i$ where it has a Lorentz factor $γ_i$ and a temperature $T_i$ sufficiently high to maintain pair equilibrium. As $r$ increases, $T$ decreases and becomes less than the temperature corresponding to the electron mass $m_e$, after which non-equilibrium effects become important. Further out in the flow the optical depth $τ$ drops below one, but the pairs may still be accelerated by the photons until $τ$ falls below $\sim 2\times10^{-5} γ_{i}^{3/4}$. Radiative transfer calculations show that only at this point do the radiation flux and pressure start to deviate significantly from their blackbody values. The acceleration of the pairs increases $γ$ by a factor $\sim 45$ as compared to its value at the photosphere; it is shown to approach $γ_{\infty} \sim 1.4\times 10^3 (r_i/10^6\mbox{cm})^{1/4} γ_{i}^{3/4} T_i/m_e$.

description: Significant properties are those aspects of a digital record that must be preserved over time in order for the Information Object to remain accessible and meaningful. This report examines the notion of significant properties as it applies to raster images, or bitmaps. It seeks to identify the significant properties of raster images that must be maintained by examining each of its constituent elements and analyzing their designated function. It goes on to examine strategies that may be utilised to maintain access to raster image assets in the long-term. Finally, it outlines a set ofexperiments that were performed by the project team to identify and evaluate tools that may be utilised toconvert significant properties from one form to another.
Mechanism of cobalt nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity and inflammation in human macrophages.
Creators: name: Nyga, Agata Teresa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The underlying mechanism of metal-on-metal (MoM) implants failure is still unclear. Cobalt could be the active agent due to its high toxicity and Co exposure can also occur in the environment and industry. Co(II) mimics hypoxia by stabilizing hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, responsible for cellular and systematic responses to low oxygen levels. The hypothesis is that the HIF pathway plays an essential role in cobalt nanoparticle (Co-NP)-induced cytotoxicity and inflammation in the U937 cell line, monocyte-derived macrophages and alveolar macrophages. Ascorbic acid (AA) is essential in maintaining the activity of prolyl hydroxylases responsible for HIF-1α degradation and Co depletes intracellular AA. AA addition reduced the Co-NPs-induced HIF response and prevented Co-NPs-induced cytotoxicity. AA and glutathione (GSH) prevented reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, but GSH had no effect on cell viability. This suggests that the AA-induced mechanism of cell protection is ROS-independent. Co-NPs, but not ions, increased release of IL-1β, which was prevented by co-exposure to AA. Caspase-1 is essential in cleaving the pro-IL-1β into its active form and AA can affect caspases activity. Preliminary results showed that AA did not affect caspase-1 suggesting a caspase-independent pathway, but further tests are required. Lathe and hip simulator CoCr-NPs stabilized HIF-1α, caused cytotoxicity and an increase in inflammatory cytokines. The lathe CoCr-NPs were more cytotoxic after 6 hours of exposure, while the hip simulator CoCr-NPs were most toxic after 24 hours. GSH was more protective than AA. MoM periprosthetic tissue showed inflammation surrounding wear debris and increased gene expression of HIF target genes, which was not observed in blood samples from patients with well-functioning MoM. This study shows for the first time the potential involvement of the HIF-1α pathway in toxicity of Co-NPs via depleting intracellular AA in a ROS- and caspase-independent manner. This new knowledge could help to explain the adverse reaction observed in patients with MoM.
Are HI Supershells the Remnants of Gamma-Ray Bursts?
Creators: name: Loeb, Abraham
name: Perna, Rosalba
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are thought to originate at cosmological distances from the most powerful explosions in the Universe. If GRBs are not beamed then the distribution of their number as a function of Gamma-ray flux implies that they occur once per (0.3-40) million years per bright galaxy and that they deposit >10^{53} ergs into their surrounding interstellar medium. The blast wave generated by a GRB explosion would be washed out by interstellar turbulence only after tens of millions of years when it finally slows down to a velocity of 10 km/s. This rather long lifetime implies that there could be up to several tens of active GRB remnants in each galaxy at any given time. For many years, radio observations have revealed the enigmatic presence of expanding neutral-hydrogen (HI) supershells of kpc radius in the Milky Way and in other nearby galaxies. The properties of some supershells cannot be easily explained in terms of conventional sources such as stellar winds or supernova explosions. However, the inferred energy and frequency of the explosions required to produce most of the observed supershells agree with the above GRB parameters. More careful observations and analysis might reveal which fraction of these supershells are GRB remnants. We show that if this link is established, the data on HI supershells can be used to constrain the energy output, the rate per galaxy, the beaming factor, and the environment of GRB sources in the Universe.

title: The role of SPI-1 and SPI-2 type three secretion systems in persistent Salmonella enterica serovar pullorum infections of chicken
Creators: name: Chappell, Lucy
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Animal diseases, microbiology, Salmonella infections, chickens.

description: Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum causes a septicaemic, persistent, systemic disease of poultry known as Pullorum Disease (PD). PD causes high mortality in young birds with those that survive becoming carriers of the disease. Transmission between birds in the same generation is predominantly faecal-oral, with birds in subsequent generations becoming infected via vertical transmission. Groups of viralence genes on the Salmonella genome cluster in areas known as pathogenicity islands. A range of in vitro and in vivo techniques were used to assess the role of Salmonella pathogenicity islands 1 and 2 (SPI-1 and SPI-2) in the establishment and persistence of serovar Pulloram infection in the chicken. The results collectively suggest that serovar Pullorum does not promote the induction of a pro inflammatory immune response in the gut, but virulence factors encoded by SPI-1 lead to up regulation of IL-lbeta, IL-6, CXCLi1 and CXCLi2 to recruit phagocytes to the site of infection. Thereby, although not required for full- virulence, SPI-1 enables faster dissemination of serovar Pullorum to systemic sites. At systemic sites away from the gut, SPI-1 is responsible for down-regulation of the antimicrobial peptides avian beta-defensins 1, 3 and 5, and of CXCLi1. SPI-2 is responsible for maintaining sustainable intracellular numbers within macrophages, inhibiting nitric oxide synthesis and down-regulating IL-6 expression. SPI-1 and SPI-2 both contribute to the virulence of serovar Pullorum, enabling the establishment of a more rapid and stealthy infection in the chicken.

description: In earlier work, we introduced a dynamical Einstein--Maxwell--dilaton model which mimics essential features of QCD (thermodynamics) below and above deconfinement. Although there are some subtle differences in the confining regime of our model as compared to the standard results, we do have a temperature dependent dual metric below $T_c$ as well, allowing for a richer and more realistic holographic modeling of the QCD phase structure. We now discuss how these features leave their imprints on the associated entanglement entropy when a strip region is introduced in the various phases. We uncover an even so rich structure in the entanglement entropy, consistent with the thermodynamical transitions, while again uncloaking some subtleties. Thanks to the temperature dependent confining geometry, we can present an original quantitative prediction for the phase diagram in terms of temperature and strip length, reporting a critical end point at the deconfinement temperature. We also generalize to the case with chemical potential.

description: This paper presents a methodology for public expenditure review and analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector. It outlines the basic methodological concepts, including the classification of public expenditures in the context of their links to climate change adaptation and mitigation. It also illustrates how such analysis can usefully contribute to policy decision making to better achieve the climate change adaptation and mitigation goals using the case study of Uganda. The proposed classification allows for analysing the level and the composition of public expenditures that influence adaptation capacity of the sector to climate change, and actions that increase or decrease greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in agriculture. This, in turn, allows for assessing whether the sector is stimulated in a way that allows achieving a country’s climate change adaptation and mitigation objectives and form a basis for further evaluation of the effectiveness of individual measures in reaching these objectives.

We first show that the geodesic Witten diagram (GWD) with fermion exchange is equivalent to the conformal partial waves associated with the spin one-half primary field. Then, we explicitly demonstrate the GWD decomposition of the Witten diagram including the fermion exchange with the aid of the split representation. The geodesic representation of CPW indeed gives the useful basis for computing the Witten diagrams.

title: Super Mario (un)making: towards the preservation of digital play practices
Creators: name: Manning, J.R
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis puts forward an approach to the preservation of videogames through a singular
case study of Nintendo’s Super Mario Maker (SMM) released exclusively for the Nintendo
Wii U console in September 2015. Videogames are a significant part of our culture and our
everyday lives. As with other popular cultural forms, there is an urgent need to think about
how videogames are being remembered, documented and preserved. Yet herein lies the
problem. For how does one preserve a practice? This thesis argues that attempts to preserve
videogames as playable objects are, conversely, further contributing to their effacement.
Videogame preservation appears to fixate on the technical object. Rather than attempt to
approach SMM as a singular identifiable entity, this thesis considers videogames as
discursive practices and/as sociotechnical assemblages. Its proposed method of study is to
trace the contours of videogame play through the cultural records produced by those who
play them. Its explicative method utilises the medium of video. Through tracing the multiple
trajectories of SMM play, this study moves to highlight how dominant play styles (and, to
this end, dominant players) shape our cultural memory. Whilst there is no “right” way to play SMM, hegemonic discourses influence what kind of play is valorised and consequently,
whose histories of play are likely to remain.

description: The essentially non-perturbative polarization effects are considered for a planar supercritical Dirac-Coulomb system with strong coupling (similar to graphene and graphene-based heterostructures) in terms of induced charge density $ρ_{VP}(\vec{r})$. The main attention is paid to the renormalization, convergence of the partial expansion and the behavior of $ρ_{VP}(\vec{r})$ and the integral induced charge $Q_{VP}$ in the overcritical region. The dependence of the induced density on the screening of the Coulomb asymptotics of the external source is also explored in detail. Some peculiar effects in the discrete spectrum with the lowest rotational numbers $m_j=\pm 1/2\, , \pm3/2$ in the screened case are detected and their possible role in the transition through corresponding $Z_{cr}$ is also discussed.

description: We investigate the shape of a growing interface in the presence of an impenetrable moving membrane. The two distinct geometrical arrangements of the interface and membrane, obtained by placing the membrane behind or ahead of the interface, are not symmetrically related. On the basis of numerical results and an exact calculation, we argue that these two arrangements represent two distinct universality classes for interfacial growth: whilst the well-established Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) growth is obtained in the `ahead' arrangement, we find an arrested KPZ growth with a smaller roughness exponent in the `behind' arrangement. This suggests that the surface properties of growing cell membranes and expanding bacterial colonies, for example, are fundamentally distinct.

description: Significant Properties (SPs) have been in the digital preservation literature for a decade or more. There has been widespread agreement on the important role they play, but no consensus on exactly what is significant.
Investigating the Significant Properties of Electronic Content over Time (InSPECT) aimed to expand and articulate the concept of ‘significant properties’, determine sets of significant properties for a specified group of digital object types, evaluate methods for measuring these properties for a sample of relevant representation formats, investigate and test the mapping and comparison of these properties between different representation formats, and identify any issues requiring further research.
This report provides an overview of a data dictionary for the description of significant properties for one or more digital objects, indicating the type of information that may be recorded and the method in which it may be structured

description: The Lipkin-Nogami method is generalized to deal with finite range density dependent forces. New expressions are derived and realistic calculations with the Gogny force are performed for the nuclei $^{164}$Er and $^{168}$Er. The sharp phase transition predicted by the mean field approximation is washed out by the Lipkin-Nogami approach; a much better agreement with the experimental data is reached with the new approach than with the Hartree-Fock_Bogoliubov one, specially at high spins.

Coherently driven microcavity-polaritons and the question of superfluidity

description: Due to their driven-dissipative nature, photonic quantum fluids present new challenges in understanding superfluidity. Some associated effects have been observed, and notably the report of nearly dissipationless flow for coherently driven microcavity-polaritons was taken as a smoking gun for superflow. Here we show that the superfluid response --- the difference between responses to longitudinal and transverse forces --- is zero for coherently driven polaritons. This is a consequence of the gapped excitation spectrum caused by external phase locking. Furthermore, while a normal component exists at finite pump momentum, the remainder forms a rigid state that is unresponsive to either longitudinal or transverse perturbations. Interestingly, the total response almost vanishes when the real part of the excitation spectrum has a linear dispersion, which was the regime investigated experimentally. This suggests that the observed suppression of scattering should be interpreted as a sign of this new rigid state and not a superfluid.

Active control of the wake from a rectangular-sectioned body
Creators: name: Cabitza, Sara
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This work of thesis is part of a wider research project with the aim of developing an aerodynamic active device for drag reduction of ground vehicles. The system, previously studied on a bullet-shaped body by Qubain (2009) and Oxlade (2013), is applied to a bluff body that idealises a long vehicle, such as an articulated lorry or a coach. The model, tested in the Honda wind tunnel of the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College, is equipped with a synthetic jet, or zero net-mass-flux actuator, composed of a cavity, a plate with a slot, and an oscillating diaphragm, placed at the rear end of the body. The effects produced by the actuator are studied by monitoring the base pressure on the model, and by measuring the aerodynamic forces and the moments acting on the body. During the experiments, performed at a constant ReH=UH/ν=4.1x10^5, a parametric study of the response of the mean base pressure, forces and moments to changes in the forcing parameters (frequency and amplitude), and slot width is performed. The unforced wake is characterised by two main structures: the bubble-pumping mode, with Strouhal number StH≈0.08, and the vortex shedding, with StH≈0.17 and StH≈0.20 on the vertical and horizontal plane, respectively. These structures, still visible in the forced wake at low forcing amplitudes, are almost completely suppressed when the forcing amplitude is increased. The suppression of the structures in the wake corresponds to a decrease in the integrated energy of the wake itself, associated to base pressure recovery and drag reduction. The optimal values achieved corresponds to 27.3% gain in base pressure and -13.1% reduction of drag. The higher sensitivity to changes in forcing amplitude rather than in frequency displayed by the system confirms the existence of a plateau of optimal base pressure recovery/drag reduction at frequencies around 5 times the characteristic shear layer frequency.
