description: Quantum machine learning has recently attracted much attention from the community of quantum computing. In this paper, we explore the ability of generative adversarial networks (GANs) based on quantum computing. More specifically, we propose a quantum GAN for generating classical discrete distribution, which has a classical-quantum hybrid architecture and is composed of a parameterized quantum circuit as the generator and a classical neural network as the discriminator. The parameterized quantum circuit only consists of simple one-qubit rotation gates and two-qubit controlled-phase gates that are available in current quantum devices. Our scheme has the following characteristics and potential advantages: (i) It is intrinsically capable of generating discrete data (e.g., text data), while classical GANs are clumsy for this task due to the vanishing gradient problem. (ii) Our scheme avoids the input/output bottlenecks embarrassing most of the existing quantum learning algorithms that either require to encode the classical input data into quantum states, or output a quantum state corresponding to the solution instead of giving the solution itself, which inevitably compromises the speedup of the quantum algorithm. (iii) The probability distribution implicitly given by data samples can be loaded into a quantum state, which may be useful for some further applications.

description: We show that some sets of quantum observables are unique up to an isometry and have a contextuality witness that attains the same value for any initial state. We prove that these two properties make it possible to certify any of these sets by looking at the statistics of experiments with sequential measurements and using any initial state of full rank, including thermal and maximally mixed states. We prove that this ``certification with any full-rank state'' (CFR) is possible for any quantum system of finite dimension $d \ge 3$ and is robust and experimentally useful in dimensions 3 and 4. In addition, we prove that complete Kochen-Specker sets can be Bell self-tested if and only if they enable CFR. This establishes a fundamental connection between these two methods of certification, shows that both methods can be combined in the same experiment, and opens new possibilities for certifying quantum devices.

A discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of compressible flows
Creators: name: Biotto, Cristian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis presents a methodology for the numerical solution of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) compressible flows via a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) formulation. The 1D Euler equations are used to assess the performance and stability of the discretisation. The explicit time restriction is derived and it is established that the optimal polynomial degree, p, in terms of efficiency and accuracy of the simulation is p = 5. Since the method is characterised by minimal diffusion, it is particularly well suited for the simulation of the pressure wave generated by train entering a tunnel. A novel treatment of the area-averaged Euler equations is proposed to eliminate oscillations generated by the projection of a moving area on a fixed mesh and the computational results are validated against experimental data. Attention is then focussed on the development of a 2D DG method implemented using the high-order library Nektar++. An Euler and a laminar Navier–Stokes solvers are presented and benchmark tests are used to assess their accuracy and performance. An artificial diffusion term is implemented to stabilise the solution of the Euler equations in transonic flow with discontinuities. To speed up the convergence of the explicit method, a new automatic polynomial adaptive procedure (p-adaption) and a new zonal solver are proposed. The p-adaptive procedure uses a discontinuity sensor, originally developed as an artificial diffusion sensor, to assign appropriate polynomial degrees to each element of the domain. The zonal solver uses a modification of a method for matching viscous subdomains to set the interface conditions between viscous and inviscid subdomains that ensures stability of the flow computation. Both the p-adaption and the zonal solver maintain the high-order accuracy of the DG method while reducing the computational cost of the simulation.

description: Based on a simple adiabatic argument and by considering the heterotic string counterpart of certain symmetries of Type II superstrings such as $(-1)^{F_L}$ and orientation reversal, we construct orbifold candidates for dual pairs of heterotic and Type II string theories with $N=2$ and $N=1$ supersymmetry. We also analyze from a similar point of view the ${\rm K3}$ fibrations that enter in recently proposed $N=2$ candidates and use this structure together with certain orientation-reversing symmetries to construct $N=1$ dual pairs. These pairs involve generalizations of Type I vacua which can be equivalent to $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic strings, while standard Type I vacua are related to $SO(32)$.

description: Despite the Milky Way's proximity to us, our knowledge of its dark matter halo is fairly limited, and there is still considerable uncertainty in its halo mass. Many past techniques have been limited by assumptions such as the Galaxy being in dynamical equilibrium as well as nearby galaxies being true satellites of the Galaxy, and/or the need to find large samples of Milky Way analogs in simulations.Here, we propose a new technique based on neural networks that obtains high precision ($<0.14$ dex mass uncertainty) without assuming halo dynamical equilibrium or that neighboring galaxies are all satellites, and which can use information from a wide variety of simulated halos (even those dissimilar to the Milky Way) to improve its performance. This method uses only observable information including satellite orbits, distances to nearby larger halos, and the maximum circular velocity of the largest satellite galaxy. In this paper, we demonstrate a proof-of-concept method on simulated dark matter halos; in future papers in this series, we will apply neural networks to estimate the masses of the Milky Way's and M31's dark matter halos, and we will train variations of these networks to estimate other halo properties including concentration, assembly history, and spin axis.

A quasi-Gorenstein $R$-module is an $R$-module such that the grade of the module and the projective dimension of the module are equal and the canonical module of the module is isomorphic to the module itself. After discussing properties of finitely generated quasi-Gorenstein modules, it is shown that this definition allows for a characterization of diagonal matrices of maximal rank over a Noetherian factorial domain $R$ extending a theorem of Frobenius and Stickelberger to modules of projective dimension 1 over a commutative Noetherian factorial domain.

description: The purpose of this paper is to explain briefly the range of research, both past and current being conducted into the problem of understanding the prehistoric practice of storing grain in underground pits. The specific period in question is the British Iron Age, c. 150 B.C. - 43 A.D. The archaeological and documentary evidence suggests that some of the ubiquitous pits discovered on native lron Age sites on the majority of the subsoil types in England were used for the bulk storage of grain. Experiments mounted to test this hypothesis have shown that it is a possible and, indeed, a successful method of bulk grain storage. Results also show that, even in the apparent hostile climate of Britain, grain stored in this manner retains a high level of germinability. The research programme includes the comparative testing of different types of pit lining and pit shape, employing the germination and mycological tests of the stored product and attending lining to determine success ratios. Finally, the research programme is aiming to provide direct evidence from the experimental pits for the determination of the function of archaeological pits. This paper is concluded with a brief description of the Butser Ancient Farm Research Project, the range of its programme, its philosophy and achievements to date.

The interaction of intense few-cycle laser pulses with nanoscale targets
Creators: name: Skopalova, Eva
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis I describe investigations of the interaction of strong laser fields with nanoscale targets, particularly with atomic clusters. I have explored laser-irradiated clusters in a new regime of interaction where the pulse duration approaches the few-cycle regime and the cluster ions essentially do not move during the laser pulse. A key result of this thesis is the observation of a new anisotropy in the ion emission from the explosion of xenon and argon clusters subjected to ultra-short (∼ 30 fs) near-infrared high intensity (∼ 1015 Wcm−2) laser pulses. In this regime more energetic ions are emitted in the direction perpendicular to the laser polarisation axis, which is the reverse of the well-known anisotropy previously observed in experiments with longer (∼ 100 fs) pulses. I show that the new anisotropy is a transient phenomenon present for a limited range of pulse durations, that is specific to the cluster size and atom species. As the pulse duration is increased the new anisotropy diminishes and a standard anisotropy appears. To explain the observed anisotropy, I have developed an electrostatic model, showing that the intracluster electric field can have a maximum in the direction perpendicular to the laser polarisation axis, leading to anisotropic ion acceleration consistent with experimental observations. These measurements and modeling give access to the initial dynamics, present early in the interaction of an intense laser field with a nanoscale dielectric. In addition to investigations of gas phase clusters I have also studied nanostructures on surfaces. An experiment to study time-dependent plasmonic fields with attosecond streaking is being designed and built. Here I present numerical simulations of nanoplasmonic streaking and address the issues that have to be considered for the ongoing experiment. I show how the plasmonic field can be retrieved from the simulated streaked spectra.
Numerical analysis of slopes in unsaturated soils
Creators: name: Tsiampousi, Aikaterini
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Conventional constitutive models developed for saturated soils are inadequate when analysing problems involving unsaturated conditions. Although unsaturated constitutive models are available in the Imperial College Finite Element Program (ICFEP), there are aspects of unsaturated soil response that are not adequately simulated. The aim of the present thesis is to develop and implement numerical expressions describing the most relevant of these features and to apply them in combination with the existing ICFEP capabilities to boundary value problems involving unsaturated soils. The over-prediction of the peak shear stress exhibited by overconsolidated soils and the simplicity of the soil-water retention relationship employed, constitute the focal points of the improvements suggested. A new surface is introduced to substitute for the yield and plastic potential functions on the dry side of critical state, in order to prevent the available constitutive models from overestimating the peak deviatoric stress. The development, implementation and calibration of this surface are presented, followed by analyses of laboratory experiments demonstrating the improved simulation of soil behaviour. Novel formulations are proposed for the soil-water retention curve, which defines the relationship between the degree of saturation or the water content and the applied suction, modelling its hysteretic nature and incorporating the effect of specific volume. Ultimately, a three-dimensional hysteretic surface, defined in terms of degree of saturation, suction and specific volume, is presented. The new developments are subsequently applied to the numerical analysis of boundary value problems involving (a) the stability of slopes in overconsolidated unsaturated soils and (b) the behaviour of unsaturated soil slopes under seasonal changes of suction, highlighting the importance of adopting appropriate constitutive models.
Localisation of MT1-MMP to motility-associated structures
Creators: name: Woskowicz, Anna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: MT1-MMP is a crucial enzyme for cellular invasion in tissues, and its polarised cell surface localisation is thought to be an important regulatory mechanism. In this thesis, the mechanisms regulating localisation of MT1-MMP to motility-associated structures were investigated. Using a series of MT1-MMP domain deletion mutants, it was found that an eight amino acid region in the catalytic domain called the “MT-Loop” is involved in localisation of the enzyme to matrix attachment sites. A previously described mechanism by which MT1-MMP localises to lamellipodia is association with CD44. Interestingly, knockdown of the CD44 in HT-1080 cells increased MT1-MMP localisation to the matrix attachment sites, whereas CD44 overexpression in COS-7 cells decreased this localisation. These results indicate that CD44-mediated localisation to lamellipodia may compete with the localisation to the matrix attachment sites. One of the previously reported mechanisms localising MT1-MMP to the matrix attachment sites is by targeting the enzyme to cortactin-mediated invadopodia structures. However, silencing of the cortactin gene in HT-1080 cells unexpectedly enhanced this localisation, suggesting that invadopodia may not be required. For MT1-MMP to appear on the cell surface, the newly expressed molecules need to be trafficked from the trans-Golgi network to the plasma membrane by kinesin motor proteins (KIFs). 17 KIFs were tested for their involvement in the intracellular trafficking of MT1-MMP-containing vesicles. Silencing of the KIF3A or KIF13A genes markedly decreased MT1-MMP-dependent gelatin and collagen film degradation, whereas silencing of the KIF9 and KIF1C genes enhanced degradation of the underlying matrix. These and other data presented in this thesis suggest that KIF3A, KIF13A, KIF9 and KIF1C may be involved in vesicle trafficking of MT1-MMP to different areas of the plasma membrane and regulate spatial localisation of the enzyme. Taken together, these findings indicate that polarised cell surface localisation of MT1-MMP is regulated by multiple mechanisms, which may be important for the enzyme to promote cellular invasion in different microenvironments.

Synthetic Approaches Towards Conformationally Constrained Amino Acids
Creators: name: Walke, Amol Ashok
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes research undertaken on the synthesis of conformationally constrained analogues of phenylalanine. The work is introduced by an overview of the significance of conformationally constrained amino acids in chemical biology. An example of how a potent and selective conformationally constrained tryptophan was designed and synthesized is provided. This section also reviews constrained phenylalanine analogues, detailing the influence of their constraints on their stereochemistry. The introductory Chapter ends with the description of an investigation into the use of a conformationally constrained phenylalanine analogue, Tic, in the development of potent bioactive peptides, and a discussion of the potential applications of higher homologues of Tic. The second Chapter commences with a short discussion about asymmetric synthesis and chiral resolution, followed by an example which illustrates these concepts. This is followed by a discussion on the work done in the modification and optimization of the Gibson synthesis of the amino acid Sic, which gave multigram quantities of this amino acid. Attempts to resolve racemic Sic were unsuccessful. The next Chapter begins with an introduction to aromatic C-H bond activation and a discussion of conventional Heck and oxidative Heck methodologies used in C-C bond formation. The syntheses of three novel cyclization substrates with varying degrees of electron densities in their aromatic rings are documented. Attempts to achieve intramolecular cyclization of these molecules via the Fujiwara addition method, the Gaunt oxidative Heck method and the Glorius oxidative Heck method, are described. The fourth Chapter introduces the concept of aromatic C-H bond activation via chelation assistance. A concise survey of different functional groups that are commonly used as ortho-directing groups via chelation with organometallic catalysts is presented along with an example that illustrates how this methodology has been used to synthesize potentially bioactive compounds. This is followed by a description of the synthesis of a new potential cyclization substrate with a ketone as a directing group. Attempts to achieve an intramolecular cyclization of this substrate using different [Ru] and [Rh] catalysts were unsuccessful. Chapter five begins with a brief summary of the use of gold catalysts for C-C bond formation via aromatic C-H activation. Four new substrates with potential for cyclization with varying degrees of electron densities in their aromatic rings were synthesized. Intramolecular cyclization of these substrates using Au(III) and Au(I) catalysts proved to be unsuccessful. Finally, Chapter six contains the experimental details that support the results described and discussed in Chapters 2-5.

description: In recent yeats the topsoil or ploughzone in the rural context has recevied increasing attention and today, because of the escalating costs of excavation and the dwindling resources provided for archaeology, that attention is being further intensified. Financial constraint, however, is not the only motivation. The results of aerial survey and organised field walking have shown that excavation can only examine a minimal percentage of the known sites, a percentage which rapidly decreases as modern surveys reveal more and more evidence.

description: The classical Helmholtz problem is applied for modelling and numerical investigation of inviscid cusp-ended separated flow around circular cylinder. Two coordinate systems are used: polar for initial calculations and parabolic as topologically most suited for infinite stagnation zone. Scaling by the shape of the unknown free line renders the problem to computational domain with fixed boundaries. Difference schemes and algorithm for Laplace equation and for Bernoulli integral are devised. A separated flow with drag coefficient $C_x=0$ like the so called ``critical'' flow is obtained. The pressure distribution on the surface of cylinder and the detachment point compares quantitatively very well with the predictions of the hodograph method.

description: True-time delayers (TTDs) are popular components for hybrid beamforming architectures to combat the spatial-wideband effect in wideband near-field communications. In this paper, a serial and a hybrid serial-parallel TTD configuration are investigated for hybrid beamforming architectures. Compared to the conventional parallel configuration, the serial configuration exhibits a cumulative time delay caused by multiple TTDs, which potentially alleviates the maximum delay requirements on the individual TTDs. However, independent control of individual TTDs becomes impossible in the serial configuration. Therefore, a hybrid TTD configuration is proposed as a compromise solution. Furthermore, a power equalization approach is proposed to address the cumulative insertion loss of the serial and hybrid TTD configurations. The wideband near-field beamforming design for different configurations is studied to maximize the spectral efficiency in both single-user and multiple-user systems. 1) For single-user systems, a closed-form solution for the beamforming design is derived. The preferred user locations and the required maximum time delay of each TTD configuration are characterized. 2) For multi-user systems, a penalty-based iterative algorithm is developed to obtain a stationary point of the spectral efficiency maximization problem for the considered TTD configurations. In addition, a hybrid-forward-and-backward (HFB) implementation is proposed to enhance the performance of the serial configuration. Our numerical results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed designs and unveil that i) compared to the conventional parallel configuration, both the serial and hybrid configurations can significantly reduce the maximum time delays required for the individual TTDs and ii) the hybrid configuration excels in single-user systems, while the HFB serial configuration is preferred in multi-user systems.

description: Many studies of missionaries have taken an historical perspective, looking particularly at missionaries’ role in colonialism. However, missionaries are still very much part of contemporary Papua New Guinea (PNG), with a significant number of expatriate missionary groups working in PNG. This thesis is a study of a present day mission in PNG, SIL International, formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL). It examines the way in which the mission community is constructed and the boundaries and divisions within the community itself. It attempts to challenge some of the stereotypes of missionaries and show that there are different views of what it is to ‘be a missionary’ even within the missionary community itself. I focus particularly on what it means to ‘be a missionary’ and the ambiguities and ambivalences between the ideals and realities of mission work. The focus of the study was on SIL members themselves and their identities as missionaries rather than the effect of their missionising on others. This is examined through a number of different themes. Debates about the fence surrounding the mission station highlighted the way in which it created both a physical and a symbolic boundary between those living inside the fence and the people living outside of it. Related to this were debates regarding the mission station, Ukarumpa and how SIL members should ‘communicate the gospel’. SIL’s main goal is Bible translation and the thesis explores the challenges and problems of translation, both the practical aspects of Bible translation and translating between cultures. Literacy work is also an important part of SIL’s goal and is shown to be especially significant in maintaining a good relationship with the PNG government. Finally, notions of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’, particularly in relation to the children of missionaries, and the notion of ‘citizens of heaven’ is shown to help shape SIL members’ identities as ‘missionaries’.

description: A simple non-interferometric approach for probing the geometric phase of a structured Gaussian beam is proposed. Both the Gouy and Pancharatnam-Berry phases can be determined from the intensity distribution following a mode transformation if a part of the beam is covered at the initial plane. Moreover, the trajectories described by the centroid of the resulting intensity distributions following these transformations resemble those of ray optics, revealing an optical analogue of Ehrenfest's theorem associated with changes in geometric phase.

description: Im Jahr 2018 gab es wieder viele Schlagzeilen rund um die Sexualmoral und - ethik von der katholischen Kirche Die Debatten um Zölibat, vorehelicher Sex und Homosexualität sind kontrovers und präsent. Kann eine Initiative aus dem Bistum Magdeburg auf diese globale Debatte Einfluss nehmen? Kann sie einen Beitrag leisten, dass sich für die Menschen – zumindest im Bistum Magdeburg – etwas verändert? Die nun folgende Arbeit soll darauf Antworten geben und Chancen, Grenzen sowie Veränderungen aufzeigen, wodurch Katholiken, die nicht der Sexualmoral der katholischen Kirche entsprechen, trotzdem katholisch sein können und wollen.

description: Our knowledge of past landscapes is drawn from a number of different sources. Primarily we rely upon assemblages of carbonised and charred seeds recovered from excavations of settlement sites of different periods. Alternatively pollen grains preserved in acid soil conditions, usually peat bogs, allow us to identify vegetation through time even down to individual plants. The third source, no Iess significant but unfortunately much rarer, are waterlogged deposits were normally biodegradable material survives virtually intact in the anaerobic conditions. While important, this last category, by definition, argues that they are untypical of the broad picture of the dry landscape representing as they do wet sites with the attendant flora of such zones. Similarly pollen grains recovered from cores taken from peat bogs can only give a generalised picture since their arrival in the peat is subject to a number of vagaries both of the individual plants and the changing weather patterns. Even more careful and precise sampling from such cores, along with improved dating systems, allow great insight not only into the plant communities, whence the pollen originated, but also the prevailing climate at those specific times. Plants, perhaps more than any other indicator, are sensitive to climate variation and change.

description: Whilst X-rays and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations allow to study the properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters, their gravitational potential may be constrained using strong gravitational lensing. Although being physically related, these two components are often described with different physical models. Here, we present a unified technique to derive the ICM properties from strong lensing for clusters in hydrostatic equilibrium. In order to derive this model, we present a new universal and self-similar polytropic temperature profile, which we fit using the X-COP sample of clusters. We subsequently derive an analytical model for the electron density, which we apply to strong lensing clusters MACS J0242.5-2132 and MACS J0949.8+1708. We confront the inferred ICM reconstructions to XMM-Newton and ACT observations. We contrast our analytical electron density reconstructions with the best canonical $β$-model. The ICM reconstructions obtained prove to be compatible with observations. However they appear to be very sensitive to various dark matter halo parameters constrained through strong lensing (such as the core radius), and to the halo scale radius (fixed in the lensing optimisations). With respect to the important baryonic effects, we make the sensitivity on the scale radius of the reconstruction an asset, and use the inferred potential to constrain the dark matter density profile using ICM observations. The technique here developed should allow to take a new, and more holistic path to constrain the content of galaxy clusters.

description: Polysaccharides have received extensive attention due to their multiple physiological functions, especially their remarkable antioxidant capacity. In this study, a novel acidic polysaccharide (PSMP-2) with a molecular weight (Mw) of 1.28 × 106 Da from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge was extracted and purified via DEAE-52 cellulose column and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The structure of PSMP-2 was characterised by high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and methylation analysis. The results showed that PSMP-2 was an acidic heteropolysaccharide composed of rhamnose (Rha) (6.15%), galacturonic acid (GalA) (55.98%), and galactose (Gal) (21.27%) and arabinose (Ara) (16.69%). PSMP-2 contained five major glycosidic linkages, (1→)-linked-Ara, (1→2, 4)-linked-Rha, (1→4)-linked-Gal, (1→6)-linked-Gal, (1→3, 6)-linked-Gal, in a molar ratio of 5.98: 1.45: 72.23: 16.40: 3.94. The IC50 of PSMP-2 on 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl free radical scavenging ability were 0.991 mg/mL and 4.007 mg/mL, respectively. It could regulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes in vivo and had good antioxidant activity. To sum up, a novel acidic polysaccharide (Mw of 1.28 × 106 Da) with antioxidant activity was isolated from S. miltiorrhiza, and its application prospect in the field of medicine and food was preliminarily revealed.
