LATEX
Creators: name: PETRENKO Anne
Publisher: name: Sismer
Year: 2007

description: Le projet LATEX a pour objectifs de comprendre le rôle de la dynamique couplée physique-biogéochimie à (sub) mésoéchelle dans les échanges de matière et d'énergie entre les zones côtières et hauturières. La stratégie des multiples campagnes (LATEX 08, 09 et 2010) est basée sur l'utilisation sélective et combinée de la modélisation numérique et d'observations in situ.L'objectif principal de LATEX est d'étudier l'impact d'une structure tourbillonnaire de (sub) mésoéchelle, présente de façon chronique dans la partie occidentale du golfe du Lion, en interaction avec le courant Nord Méditerranéen (CNM) sur l'évolution des distributions de traceurs conservatifs et de propriétés biogéochimiques. En 2010, l'utilisation de deux navires de recherche (Le Suroît et Le Téthys II) a permis de réaliser des mesures (courants, paramètres hydrologiques et biogéochimiques) et de déployer simultanément des instruments océanographiques variés :1. Des flotteurs lagrangiens pour suivre les masses d'eau : flotteurs Argos, bouées Iridium développées spécifiquement pour ce projet, bouée Carioca et bouées de salinité de surface;
2. Un traceur inerte, l'hexafluorure de soufre (SF6), pour mesurer la dispersion des eaux ; ce traceur est utilisé pour la première fois en France en océanographie et pour la première fois dans le monde dans le domaine côtier ;
3. Des gliders.Des mesures de type Eulérien ont également été réalisées : trois mouillages de courantomètres ADCP (Acoustic doppler current profiler) ont été déployés en août 2009 et ont mesuré les courants horizontaux dans la zone d'étude jusqu'en septembre 2010.Grâce à cette stratégie, LATEX doit apporter des réponses aux questions suivantes : Ce type de structure est-il susceptible d'affecter de manière significative le transfert horizontal de matières entre le plateau continental et le CNM ? Quelles sont les conséquences de l'interaction de la structure avec le CNM sur les cycles biogéochimiques ? Comment évoluent les concentrations en CO2 à l'intérieur du tourbillon tout au long de son cycle de vie ? Comment ce type de tourbillon côtier à (sub) mésoéchelle agit-il dans la structuration des communautés planctoniques et la variabilité de la production primaire observée dans la zone d'étude ? Les quantités de matière transférées par les structures à (sub) mésoéchelles sont-elles significatives par rapport à ce qui est déplacé par la circulation générale aux échelles saisonnières et annuelles ?

description: Recent laboratory experiments have measured fusion cross sections at center-of-mass energies low enough for the effects of atomic and molecular electrons to be important. To extract the cross section for bare nuclei from these data (as required for astrophysical applications), it is necessary to understand these screening effects. We study electron screening effects in the low-energy collisions of Z=1 nuclei with hydrogen molecules. Our model is based on a dynamical evolution of the electron wavefunctions within the TDHF scheme, while the motion of the nuclei is treated classically. We find that at the currently accessible energies the screening effects depend strongly on the molecular orientation. The screening is found to be larger for molecular targets than for atomic targets, due to the reflection symmetry in the latter. The results agree fairly well with data measured for deuteron collisions on molecular deuterium and tritium targets.

description: Conventional substrates for optoelectronic systems include inorganic or organic carrier materials; however, these systems are typically subjected to environmentally harmful multistep processes to prepare printed circuit boards. To mitigate these issues, the present article reports a polyether ether ketone (PEEK)-based composite densely filled with copper microparticles, prepared using a simple, cost-effective, and sustainable synthesis method. The material exhibits high thermal conductivity but is electrically nonconductive prior to undergoing laser treatment. To prevent the composite from exhibiting electrical conductivity, the copper particles are coated with a thin silica layer through a sol–gel reaction. The thermal stability of PEEK and the Cu–PEEK composites with Cu contents of up to 70 vol%, which are prepared via heat melding, is investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy to clarify the manner in which copper affects the chemical structure of the polymer. The developed composite exhibits a significantly higher thermal conductivity than that of the unfilled PEEK polymer. This paper also describes the effects of laser treatment on the surface morphology. Overall, this study suggests that conductive tracks with low electrical resistance can be created on electrically insulating substrates with high thermal conductivity.

description: The principles of quantum optics have yielded a plethora of ideas to surpass the classical limitations of sensitivity and resolution in optical microscopy. While some ideas have been applied in proof-of-principle experiments, imaging a biological sample has remained challenging mainly due to the inherently weak signal measured and the fragility of quantum states of light. In principle, however, these quantum protocols can add new information without sacrificing the classical information and can therefore enhance the capabilities of existing super-resolution techniques. Image scanning microscopy (ISM), a recent addition to the family of super-resolution methods, generates a robust resolution enhancement without sacrificing the signal level. Here we introduce quantum image scanning microscopy (Q-ISM): combining ISM with the measurement of quantum photon correlation allows increasing the resolution of ISM up to two-fold, four times beyond the diffraction limit. We introduce the Q-ISM principle and obtain super-resolved optical images of a biological sample stained with fluorescent quantum dots using photon antibunching, a quantum effect, as a resolution enhancing contrast mechanism.

DC/DC converters for high voltage direct current transmission
Creators: name: Luth, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission has to date mostly been used for point-to-point projects, with only a few select projects being designed from the outset to incorporate multiple terminals. Any future HVDC network is therefore likely to evolve out of this pool of HVDC connections. As technology improves, the voltage rating, at the point of commission, of the these connections increases. Interconnection therefore requires the DC equivalent of the transformer, to bridge the voltage levels and create a multi-terminal network. This thesis investigates new potential DC/DC converter topologies, which may be used for a range of HVDC applications. Simple interconnections of new and legacy HVDC links is unlikely to require a large voltage-step, but will be required to transfer a large amount of power. As the HVDC network develops it may become feasible for wind-farms and load-centres to directly connect to the DC network, rather than requiring new and dedicated links. Such a connection is called an HVDC tap and is typically rated at only a small fraction of the link's peak capacity (around 10\%). Such taps would connect a distribution voltage level to the HVDC network. DC/DC converters suitable for large-step ratios (>5:1) may find their application here. In this work DC/DC converters for both small and large step-ratios are investigated. Two approaches are taken to design such converters: first, an approach utilising existing converter topologies is investigated. As each project comes with a huge price-tag, their reliability is paramount. Naturally, technology that has already proven itself in the field can be modified more readily and quickly for deployment. Using two modular multilevel converters in a front-to-front arrangement has been found to work efficiently for large power transfers and low step-ratios. Such a system can be operated at higher than 50 Hz frequencies to reduce the volume of a number of passive components, making the set-up suitable for compact off-shore applications. This does however incur a significant penalty in losses reducing the overall converter efficiency. In the second approach DC/DC converter designs are presented, that are more experimental and would require significantly more development work before deployment. Such designs do not look to adapt existing converter topologies but rather are designed from scratch, purely for DC/DC applications. An evolution of the front-to-front arrangement is investigated in further detail. This circuit utilises medium frequency (>50 Hz) square current and voltage waveforms. The DC/DC step-ratio is achieved through a combination of the stacks of cells and a transformer. This split approach allows for high-step ratios to be achieved at similar system efficiencies as for the front-to-front arrangement. The topology has been found to be much more suitable for higher than 50 Hz operation from a losses perspective, allowing for a compact and efficient design.

description: Recently a Type Ic supernova, SN 1998bw, was discovered coincident with a gamma-ray burst, GRB 980425. The supernova had unusual radio, optical, and spectroscopic properties. We explore here models based upon helium stars in the range 9 - 14 Msun and carbon-oxygen stars 6 - 11 Msun which experience unusually energetic explosions (kinetic energy 0.5 - 2.8 x 10**52 erg). Bolometric light curves and multi-band photometry are calculated and compared favorably with observations. Both LTE and non-LTE spectra are also calculated for the model that agrees best with the light curve, a carbon-oxygen core of 6 Msun exploded with a kinetic energy of 2.2 x 10**52 erg. We also examine potential mechanisms for producing the observed gamma-ray burst (GRB) - shock break-out and relativistic shock deceleration in circumstellar material. For spherically symmetric models, both fail to produce a GRB of even the low luminosity inferred for GRB 980425. The high explosion energies required to understand the supernova are in contrast to what is expected for such massive stars and may indicate that a new sort of explosion has been identified, possibly the consequence of a collapsar (Woosley 1993, 1996). Indeed a more likely explanation for what was seen is a highly asymmetric explosion in which the GRB was produced by a relativistic jet, perhaps viewed obliquely, and only a fraction of the total stellar mass was ejected, the remainder accreting into a black hole. The ejected mass (but not the 56Ni mass), explosion energy, and velocities may then be smaller. Other Type Ic supernova - GRB coincidences are suggested.

description: The Late Mesozoic tectonics strongly reworked the tectonic framework of East Asia. In the South China Block (SCB), the major Late Mesozoic phenomena are featured by numerous magmatic activities, (half-) graben basins opening, and abundant ore deposits formation. The intrinsic relationships of these phenomena with the tectonic regime are still hotly debated, partly due to the lack of structural data. To advance the understanding of these issues, we conducted a detailed structural analysis including field and microscopic observations as well as an Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) investigation in the Laoshan’ao shear zone (LSA), which is the northern branch of the major Chaling–Chenzhou–Linwu Fault (CCLF) in the SCB. The new data enable us to reach the following conclusions: the evolution of the LSA can be divided into three deformation phases. D1 is a NW–SE-stretching event featured by the SE-dipping normal fault with a top-to-the-SE shear sense, coeval with the emplacement of the 154 Ma Batuan syn-tectonic pluton that leads to the development of the Xiangdong tungsten deposit and the opening of the Cretaceous Chaling basin; D2 is a NE–SW-striking dextral strike–slip event that dislocated the ore veins formed during the D1 event; D3 is a NW-directed thrusting event that cross-cut the previous gneissic foliation. D1 is the major event of the LSA shear zone, interpreted as the reactivation of the CCLF in response to the Late Mesozoic tectonics in the SCB, and indicates a NW-SE extensional regime since the Late Jurassic in the study area. This study also provides an example for an ore-forming process controlled by both the hydrothermal fluid coming from a syn-tectonic granite and the accommodation of tension gashes opened by the regional extensional event.

description: With the increasing cost of energy the need to provide energy efficient buildings continues to grow. In 2003 the EU introduced the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and this was enforced by all member states by 2006. The need to continually improve thermal performance has lead to member states implementing their own national initiatives, and from next year the National Standards Authority of Ireland will specify that all certified sandwich panel products comply with the incoming building regulations. The incoming building regulations stipulate that all sandwich panels achieve a U-value of 0.15 W/m2K, a reduction from the current value of 0.25 W/m2K. This is a significant challenge and requires that there be no significant heat loss through the panel.This paper presents the results of a collaborative project with a sandwich panel manufacturer whereby the thermal performance of a number of concrete panels was assessed. Each sandwich panel contained an inner concrete wythe of 150mm thickness, a 120mm layer of phenolic foam insulation and a 90mm thick outer layer of concrete. For structural reasons it is necessary to use connectors between the inner and outer concrete wythes, but these connectors have the potential to allow heat loss. In this study 2 connector types were used: 1 manufactured using FRP, the other with stainless steel. A control (non-structural) panel was manufactured containing no connectors. The thermal performance of each panel was assessed through experimental hot-box testing to determine U-values. This was complemented by a series of images taken using a thermal camera to show areas of heat loss. In addition the U-values were also determined using a theoretical numerical approach and a thermal finite element analysis (using MSC Patran) was conducted to determine the heat flux through the panel.The results showed that the connector type has a significant influence on the thermal performance of the sandwich panels, and that those containing steel connectors were not capable of providing the required U-value. The relative performance of the various panel types was consistent between analysis methods, as the finite element, the numerical and experimental approaches were in agreement. In addition, the heat losses observed through the thermal imaging camera were consistent with the heat losses predicted by the finite element analysis. It is proposed then that the use of numerical and finite element approaches has a valuable role in the design of thermally efficient sandwich panels. The experimental testing required is time consuming and requires significant effort. The analysis approach described above will make the design process more efficient and facilitate the construction of energy efficient buildings.

description: It is shown that the norm corrections, introduced to avoid the violation of the constraints on the depletion of the hole states in the standard perturbative 2p2h approach, leads in nuclear matter to a dependence of the momentum distribution with the total nucleon number. This unphysical behavior, which in turn makes the depletion to be non-extensive, arises from contributions of disconnected diagrams contained in the norm. It is found that the extensivity is again recovered when the 4p4h excitations in the ground state are included, and a reasonable value for the total number of nucleons promoted above the Fermi level is obtained.

Scientific management at work: the Bedaux system, management consulting, and worker efficiency in British industry, 1914-48
Creators: name: Weatherburn, Michael
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Building on scholarly research into the history of management, consultancies, the British state, trade unions, and industrial activism, this thesis uses a variety of private and public archives, printed materials, and private collections, to examine the inception, development, and large scale implementation of work measurement in Britain between 1914 and 1948. It explores work measurement's origins in the American scientific management movement, particularly F.W. Taylor's unit-times, and Charles E. Bedaux's development of Taylor's unit- times into a more effective work measurement unit: the Bedaux B. It elucidates on Bedaux's commercial career and his foundation of several successful industrial consultancies in the 1920s. It explores the activities of his consultancy in interwar Britain, including the installation of the B system at Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) and the negotiations conducted in order to introduce the B system. It also explores Charles Bedaux's demonisation by the US and British media from 1937-44. The thesis then provides case studies of the circle of managers based at the Rowntree Cocoa Works at York in the interwar period to demonstrate that, in contrast to existing historiographical claims, the Rowntree circle were important in developing, and using, additional work measurement units derived from the B such as the Rowntree Mark, the Mander Work Unit, and the Urwick Orr & Partners Point. It explores the large-scale expansion of work measurement during World War Two, particularly in the use of the B- derived ICI Standard Minute unit at the Ministry of Supply's National Filling Factories, and the endorsement of work measurement by the postwar Labour government in the form of the establishment of the British Institute of Management in 1948. It examines how, when, and why the leadership of major trade union organisations, particularly the Transport and General Workers' Union and the Trades Union Congress, accommodated themselves to the Bedaux B and other work measurement systems in the early 1930s, as well as the more vociferous response to 'Bedaux and kindred systems' by the Communist Party of Great Britain and the Amalgamated Engineering Union. It concludes by examining the uneasy political consensus around the utility and practices of work measurement in postwar British industry, both public and private.

description: The advanced-wave picture is "... an intuitive treatment of two-photon correlation with the help of the concept of an effective field acting upon one of the two detectors and formed by parametric conversion of the advanced wave emitted by the second detector ..." [A. V. Belinskii and D. N. Klyshko, JETP 78, 259 (1994)]. This quote from Belinskii and Klyshko nicely describes the concept of the advanced-wave picture; an intuitive tool for designing and predicting results from coincidence-based two-photon experiments. Up to now, the advanced-wave picture has been considered primarily for the case of an ideal plane-wave pump beam and only for design purposes. Here we study the advanced wave picture for a structured pump beam and in the context of stimulated emission provoked by an auxiliary input laser beam. This suggests stimulated parametric down-conversion as a useful experimental tool for testing the experimental sets designed with the advanced-wave picture. We present experimental results demonstrating the strategy of designing the experiment with advanced-wave picture and testing with stimulated emission.

Fast and robust methods for non-rigid registration of medical images
Creators: name: Pszczolkowski Parraguez, Stefan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The automated analysis of medical images plays an increasingly significant part in many clinical applications. Image registration is an important and widely used technique in this context. Examples of its use include, but are not limited to: longitudinal studies, atlas construction, statistical analysis of populations and automatic or semi-automatic parcellation of structures. Although image registration has been subject of active research since the 1990s, it is a challenging topic with many issues that remain to be solved. This thesis seeks to address some of the open challenges of image registration by proposing fast and robust methods based on the widely utilised and well established registration framework of B-spline Free-Form Deformations (FFD). In this work, a statistical method has been incorporated into the FFD model, in order to obtain a fast learning-based method that produces results that are in accordance with the underlying variability of the population under study. Several comparisons between different statistical analysis methods that can be used in this context are performed. Secondly, a method to improve the convergence of the B-Spline FFD method by learning a gradient projection using principal component analysis and linear regression is proposed. Furthermore, a robust similarity measure is proposed that enables the registration of images affected by intensity inhomogeneities and images with pathologies, e.g. lesions and/or tumours. All the methods presented in this thesis have been extensively evaluated using both synthetic data and large datasets of real clinical data, such as Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the brain and heart.

Factors that influence the severity of Dengue infection
Creators: name: Kraivong, Romchat
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Dengue disease is a mosquito-borne condition that has become a major public health concern. Dengue severity can be classified into mild Dengue fever (DF) and severe Dengue or Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Genetic polymorphisms and variations in the host immune response are believed to contribute to different degrees to the disease progression. In this study, factors that have an influence on Dengue infection were identified. Genetic variants in the complement system, of which the degree of activation increases with Dengue severity, were identified. There was no association between the disease and complement genetic variants (complement factor H [CFH] rs3753394, CFH rs1061170, CFH rs800292, complement factor B (FB) rs12614/rs641153 and complement C3 rs2230199) in Thai cohorts. By contrast, with multiplex bead immunoassay, numerous biological markers measured in the plasma of Dengue patients were shown to increase the risk of Dengue severity. Up-regulation of plasma matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3) was shown to be associated with the risk of developing DHF even though recombinant MMP-3 (rMMP-3) did not affect endothelial permeability in vitro. Finally, an early predictive model to predict DHF was examined by using binary logistic regression. Low platelet cell count and high plasma levels of Monocyte chemotactic protein 2 (MCP2) were identified as early indicators. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the test were 73.17%, 83.13% and 82%, respectively. These data might be useful in the development of therapeutic agents and predictive markers for Dengue infection.

description: We examine commonly used approaches to deal with the scattering of electrons from a bound nucleon. Several prescriptions are shown to be related by gauge transformations. Nevertheless, due to current non-conservation, they yield different results. These differences reflect the size of the uncertainty that persists in the interpretation of $(e,e'p)$ experiments.

description: By exploring a phase space hydrodynamics description of one-dimensional free Fermi gas, we discuss how systems settle down to steady states described by the generalized Gibbs ensembles through quantum quenches. We investigate time evolutions of the Fermions which are trapped in external potentials or a circle for a variety of initial conditions and quench protocols. We analytically compute local observables such as particle density and show that they always exhibit power law relaxation at late times. We find a simple rule which determines the power law exponent. Our findings are, in principle, observable in experiments in an one dimensional free Fermi gas or Tonk's gas (Bose gas with infinite repulsion).

description: A method to determine the polarization direction of a very high energy (50 MeV - 30 GeV), linearly polarized gamma ray is analyzed and discussed. We study the differential cross section for pair production and show that the only relevant piece of information comes from the reconstruction of the pair trajectory. In particular the polarization information is coded in the azimuthal distribution of the created pair. We show that the Azimuthal Ratio (AR), defined as the ratio of produced pairs parallel to the polarization vector to pairs perpendicular to this vector, yields a very practical method to determine incoming polarization. We investigate the behavior of this function for different angular resolutions of the measuring apparatus and different energies of the incoming pairs.

A Curvature-Compensated Corrector for Drift-Scan Observations

Year: 1998

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Images obtained by drift-scanning with a stationary telescope are affected by the declination-dependent curvature of star trails. The image displacement to curvature and drift rate variation increases with the angular field of view and can lead to significant loss of resolution with modern large-format CCD arrays. We show that these effects can be essentially eliminated by means of an optical corrector design in which individual lenses are tilted and decentered. A specific example is presented, of a four-element corrector designed for the Large-Zenith Telescope. The design reduces curvature errors to less than 0.074 arcsec over a 10 arcmin x 20 arcmin field of view centered at 49 degrees declination. By changing the positions and tilts of the lenses, the same design can also be used for any field centers between 0 degrees and 49 degrees.

Creep monitoring using permanently installed potential drop sensors
Creators: name: Corcoran, Joseph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Creep is the primary life limiting mechanism of static high temperature, high pressure power station components. Creep state evaluation is currently achieved by surface inspection of microstructure during infrequent outages; a methodology which is laborious, time consuming and considered inadequate. The objective of this work is to develop a monitoring technique that is capable of on-load creep damage monitoring. A continuous update of component integrity will enable better informed, targeted inspections and outage maintenance providing increased power generation availability. A low-frequency, permanently installed potential drop system has been previously developed and will be the focus of this thesis. The use of a quasi-DC inspection frequency suppresses the influence of the electromagnetic skin effect that would otherwise undermine the stability of the measurement in the ferromagnetic materials of interest; the use of even low frequency measurements allows phase sensitive detection and greatly enhanced noise performance. By permanently installing the electrodes to the surface of the component the resistance measurement is sensitive to strain. A resistance - strain inversion is derived and validated experimentally; the use of the potential drop sensor as a robust, high temperature strain gauge is therefore demonstrated. The strain rate of a component is known to be an expression of the creep state of the component. This concept was adopted to develop an interpretive framework for inferring the creep state of a component. It is possible to monitor the accumulation of creep damage through the symptomatic relative increase in strain rate. By taking the ratio of two orthogonal strain measurements, instability and drift common to both measurements can be effectively eliminated; an important attribute considering the necessity to monitor very low strain rates over decades in time in a harsh environment. A preliminary study of using the potential drop technique for monitoring creep damage at a weld has been conducted. Welds provide a site for preferential creep damage accumulation and therefore will frequently be the life limiting feature of power station components. The potential drop technique will be sensitive to both the localised strain that is understood to act as precursor to creep damage at a weld and also the initiation and growth of a crack. Through the course of this project, two site trials have been conducted in power stations. A measurement system and high temperature hardware that is suitable for the power station environment has been developed. The focus of this thesis is the effective transfer of the technique to industry; the realisation of this is detailed in the final chapter.

Multiscale analysis of damage-tolerant composite sandwich structures
Creators: name: Gigliotti, Luigi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Composite sandwich structures are widely regarded as a cost/weight-effective alternative to conventional composite stiffened panels and are extensively utilized for lightweight applications in various sectors, including the aeronautical, marine and transport industries. Nevertheless, their damage tolerance remains a critical issue. This work aims to develop reliable analytical and numerical tools for the design of damage-tolerant advanced foam-cored composite sandwich structures for aerospace applications. It comprises of original experimental observations together with novel numerical and analytical developments, as detailed below. A novel analytical model for predicting the post-crushing response of crushable sandwich foam cores is presented. The calibration of the model is performed using experimental data obtained exclusively from standard monotonic compressive tests. Hence, the need for performing time-consuming compressive tests including multiple unloading-reloading cycles is avoided. Subsequently, the translaminar initiation fracture toughness of a carbon-epoxy Non-Crimp Fabric (NCF) composite laminate is measured. The translaminar fracture toughness of the UD fibre tows is related to that of the NCF laminate and the concept of an homogenised blanket-level translaminar fracture toughness was introduced. A multiple length/time-scale framework for the virtual testing of large composite structures is presented. Such framework hinges upon a novel Mesh Superposition Technique (MST) and a novel set of Periodic Boundary Conditions named Multiscale Periodic Boundary Conditions (MPBCs). The MST is used for coupling different areas of the composite structure modelled at different length-scales and whose discretizations consist of different element types. Unlike using a sudden discretization-transition approach, the use of the MST eliminates the undesirable stress disturbances at the interface between differently-discretized subdomains and, as a result, it for instance correctly captures impact-induced damage pattern at a lower computational cost. The MPBCs apply to reduced Unit Cells (rUCs) and enable the two-scale (solid-to- shell) numerical homogenization of periodic structures, including their bending and twisting response. The MPBCs allow to correctly simulate the mechanical response of periodic structures using rUCs (same results as if conventional UCs were used), thus enabling a significant reduction of both modelling/meshing and analysis CPU times. The developments detailed above are finally brought together in a realistic engineering application.
Correlation of normal neutrino mass ordering with upper octant of $θ^{}_{23}$ and third quadrant of $δ$ via RGE-induced $μ$-$τ$ symmetry breaking

description: The recent global analysis of three-flavor neutrino oscillation data indicates that the {\it normal} neutrino mass ordering is favored over the inverted one at the $3σ$ level, and the best-fit values of the largest neutrino mixing angle $θ^{}_{23}$ and the Dirac CP-violating phase $δ$ are located in the higher octant and the third quadrant, respectively. We show that all these important issues can be naturally explained by the $μ$-$τ$ reflection symmetry breaking of massive neutrinos from a superhigh energy scale down to the electroweak scale due to the one-loop renormalization-group equations (RGEs) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). The complete parameter space is explored {\it for the first time} in both Majorana and Dirac cases, by allowing the smallest neutrino mass $m^{}_1$ and the MSSM parameter $\tanβ$ to vary in their reasonable regions.
