Autonomous machines and clocks in quantum thermodynamics
Creators: name: Frenzel, Max
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Thermodynamics is one of the core disciplines of physics, and despite its long history it is still a very active area of research. Particularly in the regime of non-equilibrium processes and at small scales many open questions remain. In this thesis we critically study the role that autonomous machines play in the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics. We show that autonomous machines generally comprise several interacting subsystems that can take on various roles. In Part I we look at the issue of external control. Any non-autonomous machine by definition requires some external agent to interact with the machine. This agent is generally assumed to be classical and to not suffer any back-actions from the machine. If all the involved systems are of microscopic size this approximation is no longer valid and we have to include all the control mechanisms within a unified quantum framework. We show that in order to avoid external control and operate autonomously, a machine that is to extract work from another system requires an inbuilt quantum clock. Being itself a finite-size quantum system, such a clock will inevitably experience back-actions and develop correlations with the other systems, which lead to its degradation as a time keeping device. We show that this degradation can be counteracted by a judicious choice of quantum measurements. These measurements not only allow us to stabilise the clock, but also magnify thermodynamic properties such as work from the quantum scale, where their definition can be ambiguous, to the well understood classical scale. In Part II we consider the scenario of an autonomous quantum machine interacting with a thermal environment, for which we are experimentally restricted to only observe a subset of all the possible environment interactions, while the remaining ones are hidden from direct observation. Using a modification of the notion of quantum jump trajectories we show that the visible interactions in many cases still allow us to make some inferences about the hidden interactions. We introduce a new quantity, the coarse-grained hidden entropy, which quantifies the entropy production in the hidden subsystem conditioned on our observations of the visible part. The total entropy production consisting of the sum of visible and coarse-grained hidden entropy is shown to satisfy an integral fluctuations theorem. Depending on the information flow between the subsystems, the hidden entropy can assume negative values in which case the hidden systems acts as a Maxwell's demon. This behaviour is also captured by a modified second law like inequality which gives a refinement of the conventional second law for autonomous quantum machines with continuous information flows between the machine's subsystems.

description: We present a Bayesian inference analysis of the Markevitch (1998) and Allen & Fabian (1998) cooling flow corrected X-ray cluster temperature catalogs that constrains the slope and the evolution of the empirical X-ray cluster luminosity-temperature (L-T) relation. We find that for the luminosity range 10^44.5 erg s^-1 < L_bol < 10^46.5 erg s^-1 and the redshift range z < 0.5, L_bol is proportional to T^2.80(+0.15/-0.15)(1+z)^(0.91-1.12q_0)(+0.54/-1.22). We also determine the L-T relation that one should use when fitting the Press- Schechter mass function to X-ray cluster luminosity catalogs such as the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) and the Southern Serendipitous High- Redshift Archival ROSAT Catalog (Southern SHARC), for which cooling flow corrected luminosities are not determined and a universal X-ray cluster temperature of T = 6 keV is assumed. In this case, L_bol is proportional to T^2.65(+0.23/-0.20)(1+z)^(0.42-1.26q_0)(+0.75/-0.83) for the same luminosity and redshift ranges.

description: We present theoretical models for the evolution of T Tauri stars surrounded by circumstellar discs. The models include the effects of pre-main-sequence stellar and time dependent disc evolution, and incorporate the effects of stellar magnetic fields acting on the inner disc. For single stars, consistency with observations in Taurus-Auriga demands that disc dispersal occurs rapidly, on much less than the viscous timescale of the disc, at roughly the epoch when heating by stellar radiation first dominates over internal viscous dissipation. Applying the models to close binaries, we find that because the initial conditions for discs in binaries are uncertain, studies of extreme mass ratio systems are required to provide a stringent test of theoretical disc evolution models. We also note that no correlation of the infra-red colours of T Tauri stars with their rotation rate is observed, in apparent contradiction to the predictions of simple magnetospheric accretion models.

Selection of aptamers for human serum albumin and its glycated form
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Diabetes prevalence is increasing above and beyond what can be attributed to population growth as reduced physical activity and increased sugar in people's diets is leading to an epidemic that is pushing healthcare systems to breaking point. While therapeutic treatments remain limited for diabetes patients, measurement and management of their glycemic status can prove beneficial. Glucose and HbA1C are currently utilised to manage diabetes in the short and long term respectively. However, problems with the accuracy of the HbA1c in certain diabetes patients, particularly those with renal problems and/or anaemia make it not ideal in all situations. Additionally its half life of 2-3 months make it slow to respond to glycemic changes. Measurement of human serum albumin may be beneficial in both filling the gap between glucose and HbA1c and being less susceptible to interferents. HSA has a half life of between 2-3 weeks and like haemoglobin is readily glycated. Any changes in glycated HSA will demonstrate changes in a patient's glycemic status over the preceding weeks instead of months like HbA1c. Additionally it has been demonstrated to be a better representation of glucose levels in certain patient groups. The relative lack of GHSA testing in the clinic comes down to the cost, complexity and lack of specificity of current techniques. A simple test is needed which can determine the GHSA/HSA ratio of a patient more accurately then current techniques while at a cost that is viable for restrained healthcare budgets. Within this thesis the selection and subsequent testing of aptamers to HSA and early stage glycated HSA (GHSA) is demonstrated.

Here we consider both the case where the underlying distribution of the point processes is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb R^N$ and the case where it is supported on a $C^1$ compact manifold of dimension strictly less than $N$. The strong law is proved under very mild assumption which only requires that the common probability density function belongs to $L^p$ spaces, for all $1\leq p < \infty$.

description: Cross-domain fake news detection aims to mitigate domain shift and improve detection performance by transferring knowledge across domains. Existing approaches transfer knowledge based on news content and user engagements from a source domain to a target domain. However, these approaches face two main limitations, hindering effective knowledge transfer and optimal fake news detection performance. Firstly, from a micro perspective, they neglect the negative impact of veracity-irrelevant features in news content when transferring domain-shared features across domains. Secondly, from a macro perspective, existing approaches ignore the relationship between user engagement and news content, which reveals shared behaviors of common users across domains and can facilitate more effective knowledge transfer. To address these limitations, we propose a novel macro- and micro- hierarchical transfer learning framework (MMHT) for cross-domain fake news detection. Firstly, we propose a micro-hierarchical disentangling module to disentangle veracity-relevant and veracity-irrelevant features from news content in the source domain for improving fake news detection performance in the target domain. Secondly, we propose a macro-hierarchical transfer learning module to generate engagement features based on common users' shared behaviors in different domains for improving effectiveness of knowledge transfer. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that our framework significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines.

Group symmetries and the moduli space structures of SUSY quiver gauge theories
Creators: name: Kalveks, Rudolph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: This thesis takes steps towards the development of a systematic account of the relationships between SUSY quiver gauge theories and the structures of their moduli spaces. Highest Weight Generating functions (“HWGs”), which concisely encode the field content of a moduli space, are introduced and developed to augment the established plethystic techniques for the construction and analysis of Hilbert series (“HS”). HWGs are shown to provide a faithful means of decoding and describing HS in terms of their component fields, which transform in representations of Classical and/or Exceptional symmetry groups. These techniques are illustrated in the context of Higgs branch quiver theories for SQCD and instanton moduli spaces, as a prelude to an account of the quiver theory constructions for the canonical class of moduli spaces represented by the nilpotent orbits of Classical and Exceptional symmetry groups. The known Higgs and/or Coulomb branch quiver theory constructions for nilpotent orbits are systematically extended to give a complete set of Higgs branch quiver theories for Classical group nilpotent orbits and a set of Coulomb branch constructions for near to minimal orbits of Classical and Exceptional groups. A localisation formula (“NOL Formula”) for the normal nilpotent orbits of Classical and Exceptional groups based on their Characteristics is proposed and deployed. Dualities and other relationships between quiver theories, including A series 3d mirror symmetry, are analysed and discussed. The use of nilpotent orbits, for example in the form of T(G) quiver theories, as building blocks for the systematic (de)construction of moduli spaces is illustrated. The roles of orthogonal bases, such as characters and Hall Littlewood polynomials, in providing canonical structures for the the analysis of quiver theories is demonstrated, along with their potential use as building blocks for more general families of quiver theories.
Possible High-Redshift, Low-Luminosity AGN Activity in the Hubble Deep Field

description: In the Hubble Deep Field (HDF), twelve candidate sources of high-redshift (z > 3.5) AGN activity have been identified. The color selection criteria were established by passing spectra of selected quasars and Seyfert galaxies (appropriately redshifted and modified for "Lyman forest" absorption), as well as stars, observed normal and starburst galaxies, and galaxy models for various redshifts through the filters used for the HDF observations. The actual identification of AGN candidates also involved convolving a Laplacian-of-Gaussian filter with the HDF images, thereby removing relatively flat galactic backgrounds and leaving only the point-like components in the centers. Along with positions and colors, estimated redshifts and absolute magnitudes are reported, with the candidates falling toward the faint end of the AGN luminosity function. One candidate has been previously observed spectroscopically, with a measured redshift of 4.02. The number of sources reported here is consistent with a simple extrapolation of the observed quasar luminosity function to magnitude 30 in B_Johnson. Implications for ionization of the intergalactic medium and for gravitational lensing are discussed.

Towards the Distributed Burning Regime in Turbulent Premixed Flames

description: Three-dimensional numerical simulations of canonical statistically-steady statistically-planar turbulent flames have been used in an attempt to produce distributed burning in lean methane and hydrogen flames. Dilatation across the flame means that extremely large Karlovitz numbers are required; even at the extreme levels of turbulence studied (up to a Karlovitz number of 8767) distributed burning was only achieved in the hydrogen case. In this case, turbulence was found to broaden the reaction zone visually by around an order of magnitude, and thermodiffusive effects (typically present for lean hydrogen flames) were not observed. In the preheat zone, the species compositions differ considerably from those of one-dimensional flames based a number of different transport models (mixture-averaged, unity Lewis number, and a turbulent eddy viscosity model). The behaviour is a characteristic of turbulence dominating non-unity Lewis number species transport, and the distinct limit is again attributed to dilatation and its effect on the turbulence. Peak local reaction rates are found to be lower in the distributed case than in the lower Karlovitz cases but higher than in the laminar flame, which is attributed to effects that arise from the modified fuel-temperature distribution that results from turbulent mixing dominating low Lewis number thermodiffusive effects. Finally, approaches to achieve distributed burning at realisable conditions are discussed; factors that increase the likelihood of realising distributed burning are higher pressure, lower equivalence ratio, higher Lewis number, and lower reactant temperature.

description: We have studied the hard X-ray variability of the soft X-ray transient GRO J0422+32 with BATSE in the 20-100 keV energy band. Our analysis covers 180 days following the first X-ray detection of the source on 1992 August 5, fully covering its primary and secondary X-ray outburst. We computed power density spectra (PDSs) in the 20-50, 50-100, and 20-100 keV energy bands, in the frequency interval 0.002-0.488 Hz. The PDSs of GRO J0422+32 are approximately flat up to a break frequency, and decay as a power law above, with index ~1. The canonical anticorrelation between the break frequency and the power density at the break, observed in Cyg X-1 and other BHCs in the low state, is not observed in the PDSs of GRO J0422+32. We compare our results with those of similar variability studies of Cyg X-1. The relation between the spectral slope and the amplitude of the X-ray variations of GRO J0422+32 is similar to that of Cyg X-1; however, the relation between the hard X-ray flux and the amplitude of its variation is opposite to what has been found in Cyg X-1. Phase lags between the X-ray flux variations of GRO J0422+32 at high and low photon energies, could only be derived during the first 30 days of its outburst. During this period, the variations in the 50-100 keV lag those in the 20-50 keV energy band by an approximately constant phase difference of 0.039(3) rad in the frequency interval 0.02-0.20 Hz.

description: We look into the abundance of Dual AGN in the largest hydrodynamical simulation from the EAGLE project. We define a Dual AGN as two active black holes (BHs) with a separation below 30 kpc. We find that only 1 per cent of AGN with $\LhX\geq 10^{42}\ergs$ are part of a Dual AGN system at $z=0.8-1$. During the evolution of a typical binary BH system, the rapid variability of the hard X-ray luminosity on Myr time-scales severely limits the detectability of Dual AGN. To quantify this effect, we calculate a probability of detection, $t_{\rm on}/t_{\rm 30}$, where $t_{\rm 30}$ is the time in which the two black holes are separated at distances below 30 kpc and $t_{\rm on}$, the time that both AGN are visible (e.g. when both AGN have $\LhX\geq 10^{42}\ergs$) in this period. We find that the average fraction of visible Dual systems is 3 per cent. The visible Dual AGN distribution as a function of BH separation presents a pronounced peak at $\sim 20$ kpc that can be understood as a result of the rapid orbital decay of the host galaxies after their first encounter. We also find that $75$ per cent of the host galaxies have recently undergone or are undergoing a merger with stellar mass ratio $\geq 0.1$. Finally, we find that the fraction of visible Dual AGN increases with redshift as found in observations.

Thermal effects and management of lithium ion batteries for automotive applications
Creators: name: Hunt, Ian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: In recent years the use of lithium ion batteries in hybrid and electric vehicles has increased enormously. Due to the high cost of lithium ion batteries, maximising their performance and reducing the rate of degradation is vitally important to vehicle manufacturers. There are many ways in which this can be done, however this thesis focuses on the thermal behaviour of lithium ion batteries and how thermal management can affect performance and levels of degradation. The importance of good experimental design is discussed, with a specific focus on thermal boundary conditions. In addition, some experimental examples are shown highlighting the impact that thermal boundary conditions can have when testing batteries. The thermal properties of cells were measured, and an approach based on Searle’s bar technique and using cells of different sizes was used in order to measure the thermal conductivity of different components and interfaces in a cell. This approach was successful in measuring the thermal conductivity through the layers of a cell, and the results showed a 32% discrepancy with often-used literature values, showing how important the measurement of thermal conductivity is when designing battery thermal management systems or parameterising coupled electrochemical-thermal models. The effect of temperature gradients on the performance of batteries was investigated, showing that a cell under a temperature gradient exhibits poorer performance compared to a cell at a temperature equivalent to the mean of the gradient. This result was reproduced using a simple data-driven model, which showed significant inhomogeneous behaviour of the different layers of the cell. Finally, the effects of cell surface cooling and cell tab cooling were investigated, reproducing two typical cooling systems that are used in real-world battery packs. For new cells using slow-rate standardized testing, very little difference in capacity was seen. However at higher rates, surface cooling led to a loss of useable capacity of 9.2% compared to 1.2% for cell tab cooling. After cycling the cells for 1,000 times, surface cooling resulted in a rate of loss of useable capacity under load three times higher than cell tab cooling. Understanding how thermal management systems interact with the operation of batteries is therefore critical in extending their performance. For automotive applications where 80% capacity is considered end-of-life, using tab cooling rather than surface cooling would therefore be equivalent to extending the lifetime of a pack by 3 times, or reducing the lifetime cost by 66%.

A statistical analysis of investment metric values from 1980-2013 for the UK, NL, and DE found that positive threshold financial evaluations coincide with 70%+ of historic capacity investments. A separate empirical model validation of this period, where 64 model variants were tested using the TEMOA optimization model, established that profit seeking gives the best matching result to historical outcomes. Divergence of modelled results and history does occur in two ways due to non-financial factors. First, the impact of political-economy support or exclusion of technologies. Second, constraints to technology scaling limiting the speed of build-out, due to factors including public perception, land availability, and manufacturing/installation scale limitations. Interviews with electricity sector experts established that financial evaluation is the primary means for narrowing down of technology options, after which non-financial factors are considered. If electricity system models are to be employed for testing policy decision impacts on technology selection, investment, and scaling, the incorporation of non-financial factors is essential.

description: We have observed the radio source NGC 3862 (3C264) simultaneously with the EVN and the MERLIN arrays, obtaining detailed images of its radio structure from parsec to sub-kiloparsec scales. 3C264 shows a one-sided jet, with evident variations in its morphological properties with distance. We have analyzed HST optical data of NGC 3862 finding a one-to-one correspondence between radio and optical features in the jet. The radio to optical spectral index is approximately constant along the jet. Synchrotron appears as the most plausible mechanism for the observed jet emission at radio and optical wavelengths. Local particle reacceleration or, alternatively, deviation from the condition of equipartition, are plausible mechanisms to explain the low synchrotron cooling and constant spectral index in the jet of 3C264.

description: We determine corrections to the Hubble rate due to graviton loops in a cosmological background spacetime of constant deceleration parameter. The corrections are gauge-invariant, based on a recent proposal for all-order gauge-invariant observables in perturbative quantum gravity. We find explicit expressions for the cases of matter- and radiation-dominated eras and slow-roll inflation with vanishing second slow-roll parameter. Interestingly, in the latter case the corrections can be described by a quantum-corrected first slow-roll parameter, which brings the spacetime closer to de Sitter space.

Learning 3D Shape Completion under Weak Supervision

description: We address the problem of 3D shape completion from sparse and noisy point clouds, a fundamental problem in computer vision and robotics. Recent approaches are either data-driven or learning-based: Data-driven approaches rely on a shape model whose parameters are optimized to fit the observations; Learning-based approaches, in contrast, avoid the expensive optimization step by learning to directly predict complete shapes from incomplete observations in a fully-supervised setting. However, full supervision is often not available in practice. In this work, we propose a weakly-supervised learning-based approach to 3D shape completion which neither requires slow optimization nor direct supervision. While we also learn a shape prior on synthetic data, we amortize, i.e., learn, maximum likelihood fitting using deep neural networks resulting in efficient shape completion without sacrificing accuracy. On synthetic benchmarks based on ShapeNet and ModelNet as well as on real robotics data from KITTI and Kinect, we demonstrate that the proposed amortized maximum likelihood approach is able to compete with recent fully supervised baselines and outperforms data-driven approaches, while requiring less supervision and being significantly faster.
Is Cosmology Solved?

description: We have fossil evidence from the thermal background radiation that our universe expanded from a considerably hotter denser state. We have a well defined and testable description of the expansion, the relativistic Friedmann-Lemaitre model. Its observational successes are impressive but I think hardly enough for a convincing scientific case. The lists of observational constraints and free hypotheses within the model have similar lengths. The scorecard on the search for concordant measures of the mass density parameter and the cosmological constant shows that the high density Einstein-de Sitter model is challenged, but that we cannot choose between low density models with and without a cosmological constant. That is, the relativistic model is not strongly overconstrained, the usual test of a mature theory. Work in progress will greatly improve the situation and may at last yield a compelling test. If so, and the relativistic model survives, it will close one line of research in cosmology: we will know the outlines of what happened as our universe expanded and cooled from high density. It will not end research: some of us will occupy ourselves with the details of how galaxies and other large-scale structures came to be the way they are, others with the issue of what our universe was doing before it was expanding. The former is being driven by rapid observational advances. The latter is being driven mainly by theory, but there are hints of observational guidance.

description: We develop a model to describe the evolution of the intra-cluster X-ray emitting baryons, as they are included in the dark matter potential wells of galaxy clusters evolving through subsequent merging events in the framework of hierarchical clustering. The gas is assumed to re-adjusts to a new hydrostatic equilibrium after each merging event. Before merging it is gravitationally heated at the local virial temperature when bound in subclusters; at early $z$ the gas is preheated by supernova activity following star formation. In detail, we compute analytically the following steps: the dynamic histories of dark matter halos with their merging events; the associated infall of gas into a halo, with compressions and shocks estabilishing the conditions at the cluster boundary; the updated disposition of the gas in the potential well matching such conditions; the statistical convolution of the key quantities over the merging histories. The model predicts the density and surface brightness profiles with no free parameters; the so-called $β$ parameter is itself an outcome of the model, and the polytropic index $γ$ is internally constrained to a narrow range. We obtain declining temperature profiles, and profiles for the density and for the surface brightness shallower in groups compared with clusters. Our model groups also contain a lower baryonic fraction on average, but with a scatter considerably larger than at cluster scales. Various statistics are obtained analytically upon averaging over the merging histories. In particular, we predict in different cosmologies the statistical correlation $L-T$ of luminosity with temperature; similarly we derivethe correlation $R_X-T$ for the size of the X-ray emitting region. The intrinsic scatter in both correlations is also predicted.

description: While deep learning methods have shown great promise in improving the effectiveness of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis by detecting suspicious lesions from trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS), they must overcome multiple simultaneous challenges. There is high heterogeneity in tissue appearance, significant class imbalance in favor of benign examples, and scarcity in the number and quality of ground truth annotations available to train models. Failure to address even a single one of these problems can result in unacceptable clinical outcomes.We propose TRUSWorthy, a carefully designed, tuned, and integrated system for reliable PCa detection. Our pipeline integrates self-supervised learning, multiple-instance learning aggregation using transformers, random-undersampled boosting and ensembling: these address label scarcity, weak labels, class imbalance, and overconfidence, respectively. We train and rigorously evaluate our method using a large, multi-center dataset of micro-ultrasound data. Our method outperforms previous state-of-the-art deep learning methods in terms of accuracy and uncertainty calibration, with AUROC and balanced accuracy scores of 79.9% and 71.5%, respectively. On the top 20% of predictions with the highest confidence, we can achieve a balanced accuracy of up to 91%. The success of TRUSWorthy demonstrates the potential of integrated deep learning solutions to meet clinical needs in a highly challenging deployment setting, and is a significant step towards creating a trustworthy system for computer-assisted PCa diagnosis.
