description: We consider similarity solutions of the generalized convection-diffusion-reaction equation with both space- and time-dependent convection, diffusion and reaction terms. By introducing the similarity variable, the reaction-diffusion equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation. Matching the resulting ordinary differential equation with known exactly solvable equations, one can obtain corresponding exactly solvable convection-diffusion-reaction systems. Some representative examples of exactly solvable systems are presented. We also describe how an equivalent convection-diffusion-reaction system can be constructed which admits the same similarity solution of another convection-diffusion-reaction system.

description: We describe radial velocity observations of a large sample of apparently single white dwarfs (WDs), obtained in a long-term effort to discover close, double-degenerate (DD) pairs which might comprise viable Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) progenitors. We augment the WD sample with a previously observed sample of apparently single subdwarf B (sdB) stars, which are believed to evolve directly to the WD cooling sequence after the cessation of core helium burning. We have identified 18 new radial velocity variables, including five confirmed sdB+WD short-period pairs. Our observations are in general agreement with the predictions of the theory of binary star evolution. We describe a numerical method to evaluate the detection efficiency of the survey and estimate the number of binary systems not detected due to the effects of varying orbital inclination, orbital phase at the epoch of the first observation, and the actual temporal sampling of each object in the sample. Follow-up observations are in progress to solve for the orbital parameters of the candidate velocity variables.

description: Este trabalho tem como objetivo o mapeamento de detalhe, com caracterização estrutural e petrológica da região de ocorrência dos escarnitos nos mármores de Itaóca Pedra, Espírito Santo. Na região ocorrem orto e paragnaisses de médio a alto grau metamórfico com intensa deformação e rochas ígneas plutônicas não deformadas, com destaque para um grande corpo de mármore de direção NE-SW que forma a Serra de Itaóca. Estes mármores apresentam um bandamento composicional em escala regional, caracterizado por bandas de mármores puros (calcítico/dolomítico) intercalados com bandas de mármores impuros (flogopita mármores). Associados aos mármores ocorrem rochas de composição calcissilicáticas que apresentam um bandamento composicional milimétrico a centrimétrico marcado por quarzto + plagioclásio + diopsídio + tremolita, e em menor quantidade titanita. A lente de Mármore é cortada por intrusões de anfibolitos e granitos. No contato entre os mármores e os corpos de anfibolito ocorre uma auréola de escarnitização com zoneamento mineral composta por hornblenda + plagioclásio, hornblenda + clinopiroxênio, clinopiroxênio+ calcita/dolomita e forsterita + calcita/dolomita à medida que se dirige do anfibolito para o mármore. Já no contato com os diques graníticos é observada a formação de granada, epidoto, pirita, calcopirita e minerais supérgenos de cobre, como malaquita e azurita. Também foram observadas feições de metassomatismo nos gnaisses calcissilicáticos quando são cortados por veios de calcita, gerando um bandamento composicional caracterizado pela intercalação de quarzto+ plagioclásio +diopsídio + tremolita com níveis de quartzo + plagioclásio + escapolita + clinozoisita, e uma grande concetração de titanita. A principal estrutura encontrada nestas rochas carbonáticas é um bandamento metamórfico com mergulho de médio a baixo ângulo e direção NE-SW. Destacam-se nos afloramentos sistemas de falhas inversas com mergulho de baixo ângulo. Associadas a essas falhas encontram-se dobras assimétricas e espelhos de falhas com estrias indicando transporte tectônico para NW. Também são observadas falhas transcorrentes com direção NW-SE e movimentação destral e sinistral. A integração dos dados obtidos neste trabalho mostrou que ocorrem de zonas com alto teor de minerais sulfetados, como pirita e calcopirita, no contato entre diques máficos e o mármore. Indicando que esta região possui um potencial para a formação de depósitos do tipo skarn.
Water pressure optimisation for leakage management using deep reinforcement learning
Creators: name: Negm, Ahmed
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, we introduce a novel approach to pressure management using
 deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms. Exploiting DRL algorithms to
 optimise pressure management in water distribution networks (WDNs)
 provides a more computationally efficient and resilient method to reduce
 background and burst leakage. Using DRL to manage pressure has proven as a
 valuable method to reduce leakage and carbon emissions in two case studies
 based on a real and benchmark water network. A cohort of eight DRL
 algorithms of varying natures are implemented on a benchmark test network
 and real network model of varying sizes to prove their scalability. An
 investigation on their ability to reduce both background and burst leakage
 is conducted to highlight their abilities with regards to different leak
 sizes.

 The application of deep reinforcement learning algorithms to control
 leakage in WDNs builds on from two extensive reviews of leakage management
 and DRL applications in the urban water systems. Collating this literature
 pinpoints the novelty in applying deep reinforcement learning algorithms
 to control pressure in WDNs and provides context to the thesis. To develop
 DRL algorithms fit for WDN operations, a novel python-based environment is
 created that can communicate the hydraulic capabilities of EPANET to the
 DRL agent. This involved multiple design choices including action space
 and observation space selection as well as formulating a reward function
 suitable for the multiple objectives relating to leakage reduction.

 Regarding background leakage, the best performing DRL algorithm resulted
 in 65.2% reduction in leakage in the benchmark network. However, the
 investigation on the real water network provided by Northumbrian Water
 Living has proved the strong dependency between valve locations and
 pressure management hence resulting in a negligible background leakage
 reduction. The ability of the DRL algorithms to deal with uncertainty
 through randomised burst nodes was investigated in the second case study.
 DRL policies demonstrated resilience in comparison to the standard
 optimisation algorithms used (differential evolution, particle swarm
 optimisation, and nelder mead). The best performing DRL algorithm
 predicted a 58.46% leakage reduction and 5650kg of reduced CO2 emissions
 in the benchmark water network. On the other hand, the best DRL
 performance optimised the real water network by reducing the leakage by
 5.79% and carbon emissions by 1999kg of CO2.
Holographic principle and field-to-particle transition formalism in sigma model, dilaton gravity and supergravity: Point particle as end product of field theory and seed of string-brane approach

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper consists of two parts which seem to be independent of each other but at first glance only. In the Part one the field-to-particle transition formalism is applied to the sigma model (string), dilaton gravity and gauged supergravity 0-brane solutions. In addition to the fact that the field-to-particle transition is of interest itself it can be regarded also as the dynamical dimensional reduction which takes into account field fluctuations as well as one can treat it as the method of the consistent quantization in the vicinity of the nontrivial vacuum induced by a field solution. It is shown that in all the cases the end product of the approach is the so-called "non-minimal point particle". In view of this it is conjectured that point particles are not only the end product but also the underlying base of modern high-energy theory even more fundamental than the strings. The Part two is hence devoted to the formal axiomatics of the string-brane approach - there we deepen the above-mentioned conjecture. It turns out that a point particle can be regarded as an extended object from the viewpoint of a macroscopic measurement. The particle is actually observed as the ``cloud'' consisting of the virtual paths and nothing prevents their deviations from the classical trajectory. Therefore, for an observer the real particle can be no more viewed as a point object. However, it cannot be supposed also as a continuous extended object unless we average over all the deviations. Then we obtain the metabrane, which is the composite extended object consisting of the microscopical objects (strings) and cosmological-size ones (3-brane) where the size of a corresponding embedding is governed by the weight constants arising along with the decomposition.

The consequences of life without sex: an examination into taxonomy and evolution of the anciently asexual bdelloid rotifers
Creators: name: Tang, Cuong
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The anciently asexual bdelloid rotifers are a ubiquitous and ecologically important group coined “evolutionary scandals” owing to their diversification and persistence over evolutionary time despite the pressures of obligate parthenogenesis. Understanding the biodiversity of rotifers, in the context of reproductive mode, will aid in the understanding of how differences in sex and ecology drive biodiversity patterns. Given that resolved taxonomy is a prerequisite to investigating larger scale macroevolutionary patterns, and that rotifer taxonomy is confounded by morphostasis, cryptic diversity, and a dearth of expert taxonomists, this thesis first deals with the use of DNA taxonomy as a tool to alleviate the taxonomic crisis so prevalent in the group. Results from multiple meta-analyses exploring the effects of choice in gene, phylogenetic reconstruction methods, and species delimitation metrics, provide better guidelines for DNA taxonomy. The analyses suggest that coalescent-based DNA taxonomy using the Generalised Mixed Yule Coalescent model in conjunction with the cytochrome oxidase 1 subunit c gene analysed in a Bayesian inference phylogenetic framework using BEAST, provides realistic and tangible species clusters (evolutionarily significant units; ESU) in both asexual and sexual organisms. Using these ESUs, the efficacy of DNA barcoding for identifying rotifer species is examined. These analyses suggest that the sexual monogonont rotifers are more readily identifiable than the asexual bdelloid rotifers. Explicit comparison of genetic discreteness of asexual and sexual rotifers indicates that sexual rotifers are separated by larger genetic and phylogenetic gaps than asexual rotifers and thus are more discrete. Combined, these analyses indicate that sex, specifically reproductive isolation, is the predominant factor in explaining why species form discrete clusters rather than a continuum of forms. Finally, a dated multilocus molecular phylogeny of Bdelloidea is reconstructed. The phylogeny suggests that bdelloid rotifers have persisted for at least 40 million years, but that bdelloid higher taxa are typically polyphyletic.

description: The continually increasing number of complex datasets each year necessitates ever improving machine learning methods for robust and accurate categorization of these data. This paper introduces Random Multimodel Deep Learning (RMDL): a new ensemble, deep learning approach for classification. Deep learning models have achieved state-of-the-art results across many domains. RMDL solves the problem of finding the best deep learning structure and architecture while simultaneously improving robustness and accuracy through ensembles of deep learning architectures. RDML can accept as input a variety data to include text, video, images, and symbolic. This paper describes RMDL and shows test results for image and text data including MNIST, CIFAR-10, WOS, Reuters, IMDB, and 20newsgroup. These test results show that RDML produces consistently better performance than standard methods over a broad range of data types and classification problems.

We illustrate this construction for the $M(3,4)$ (Ising) model where the Bailey pairs have been given by Slater. We then present the general unitary case. We demonstrate that the model $M(p,p+1)$ is derived from $M(p-1,p)$ by a Bailey renormalization flow and conclude by obtaining the $N=1$ model $SM(p,p+2)$ and the unitary $N=2$ model with central charge $c=3(1-2/p).$

A simple and efficient numerical procedure to compute the inverse Langevin function with high accuracy

description: The inverse Langevin function is a fundamental part of the statistical chain models used to describe the behavior of polymeric-like materials, appearing also in other fields such as magnetism, molecular dynamics and even biomechanics. In the last four years, several approximants of the inverse Langevin function have been proposed. In most of them, optimization techniques are used to reduce the relative error of previously published approximants to reach orders of magnitude of O(10^-2, 10^-3). In this paper a new simple and efficient numerical approach to calculate the inverse Langevin function is proposed. Its main feature is the reduction of the relative errors in all the domain x=[0,1) to near machine precision, maintaining function evaluation CPU times similar to those of the most efficient approximants. The method consists in the discretization of the Langevin function, the calculation of the inverse of these discretization points and their interpolation by cubic splines. In order to reproduce the asymptotic behavior of the inverse Langevin function, a rational function is considered only in the asymptotic zone keeping C^1 continuity with the cubic splines. We include customizable Matlab codes to create the spline coefficients, to evaluate the function, and to compare accuracy and efficiency with other published proposals.

description: We continue the discussion of our previous paper on writing down gauge invariant interacting equations for a bosonic string using the loop variable approach. In the earlier paper the equations were written down in one higher dimension where the fields are massless. In this paper we describe a procedure for dimensional reduction that gives interacting equations for fields with the same spectrum as in bosonic string theory. We also argue that the on-shell scattering amplitudes implied by these equations for the physical modes are the same as for the bosonic string. We check this explicitly for some of the simpler equations. The gauge transformation of space-time fields induced by gauge transformations of the loop variables are discussed in some detail. The unintegrated (i.e. before the Koba-Nielsen integration), regularized version of the equations, are gauge invariant off-shell (i.e. off the {\em free} mass shell).

Gamma Ray Bursts from the Evolved Galactic Nuclei

description: A new cosmological scenario for the origin of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) is proposed. In our scenario, a highly evolved central core in the dense galactic nucleus is formed containing a subsystem of compact stellar remnants (CSRs), such as neutron stars and black holes. Those subsystems result from the dynamical evolution of dense central stellar clusters in the galactic nuclei through merging of stars, thereby forming (as has been realized by many authors) the short-living massive stars and then CSRs. We estimate the rate of random CSR collisions in the evolved galactic nuclei by taking into account, similar to Quinlan & Shapiro (1987), the dissipative encounters of CSRs, mainly due to radiative losses of gravitational waves, which results in the formation of intermediate short-living binaries, with further coalescence of the companions to produce GRBs. We also consider how the possible presence of a central supermassive black hole, formed in a highly evolved galactic nucleus, influences the CSR binary formation. This scenario does not postulate ad hoc a required number of tight binary neutron stars in the galaxies. Instead, it gives, for the most realistic parameters of the evolved nuclei, the expected rate of GRBs consistent with the observed one, thereby explaining the GRB appearance in a natural way of the dynamical evolution of galactic nuclei. In addition, this scenario provides an opportunity for a cosmological GRB recurrence, previously considered to be a distinctive feature of GRBs of a local origin only. We also discuss some other observational tests of the proposed scenario.

description: Quantum integrable models that possess $N=2$ supersymmetry are investigated on the half-space. Conformal perturbation theory is used to identify some $N=2$ supersymmetric boundary integrable models, and the effective boundary Landau-Ginzburg actions are constructed. It is found that $N=2$ supersymmetry largely determines the boundary action in terms of the bulk, and in particular, the boundary bosonic potential is $|W|^2$, where $W$ is the bulk superpotential. Supersymmetry is also discussed from the perspective of the affine quantum group symmetry of exact scattering matrices, and exact $N=2$ supersymmetry preserving boundary reflection matrices are described.

Novel statistical and bioinformatic tools for identifying predictive metabolic biomarkers in molecular epidemiology studies
Creators: name: Posma, Joram Matthias
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: A top-down systems biology approach investigating metabolic responses to external stimuli or physiological processes requires multivariate statistical tools to identify metabolites associated with the global biochemical changes in a supra-organism. In this thesis I describe several tools I have developed to improve or supplement currently used methods in molecular epidemiology studies. First, I describe the MetaboNetworks toolbox which is able to create custom, multi-compartmental metabolic reaction networks for a supra-organism, combining both mammalian and microbial reactions. These networks are essentially a summary of the supra-organisms homeostatic signature. Second, I describe a novel statistical spectroscopy approach called STORM which aids in the elucidation of unknown biomarker signals in 1H NMR spectra. Third, I describe the Metabolome-Wide Association Study on obesity in U.S. and U.K. populations. Many novel metabolic associations with obesity are described in a systems framework, among which metabolites associated with energy, skeletal muscle, lipid, amino acid and gut microbial metabolism. Last, I describe a new multivariate approach to adjust for confounders, CA-OPLS. Correcting for confounders is an essential aspect in molecular epidemiology studies as metabolites can be related to a variety of factors such as lifestyle, diet and environmental exposures which or may not be causally related to disease risk. In developing CA-OPLS another aim was to simultaneously eliminate/minimize the effects of different types of sampling bias which are often not taken into account in modelling metabonomics data with current methods.

description: Rydberg microwave (MW) sensors are superior to conventional antenna-based techniques because of their wide operating frequency range and outstanding potential sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate a Rydberg microwave receiver with a high sensitivity of $62\,\mathrm{nV} \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \mathrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$ and broad instantaneous bandwidth of up to $10.2\,\mathrm{MHz}$. Such excellent performance was achieved by the amplification of one generated sideband wave induced by the strong coupling field in the six-wave mixing process of the Rydberg superheterodyne receiver, which was well predicted by our theory. Our system, which possesses a uniquely enhanced instantaneous bandwidth and high-sensitivity features that can be improved further, will promote the application of Rydberg microwave electrometry in radar and communication.
From jungle to ice: the role of changes in weathering and ocean circulation patterns in the onset of Antarctic glaciation
Creators: name: Huck, Claire Eva
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The transition from the Greenhouse Eocene climate (55 – 34Ma) to the Icehouse regime of the Oligocene (34 – 23Ma) was marked by a widespread cooling at the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT) (~34Ma), followed by major Antarctic glaciation. The relative contribution of changes in ocean circulation and continental weathering is however not well understood. This thesis takes advantage of new core material recovered during IODP Expedition 318 to Wilkes Land, Antarctica, to study ocean-continent interaction during this critical time interval. To this end, I have used neodymium (Nd) isotopes in fossil fish teeth to reconstruct water mass composition and ocean circulation. Secondly, I have used Nd isotopes in bulk sediments as a provenance tool to reconstruct erosional patterns on the continent. Additionally, I have used a combination of major and trace element data to evaluated the robustness of Nd isotopes in fossil fish teeth as a water mass tracer in a marine shelf environment, and under changing redox conditions at the seafloor. My findings are presented in four distinct chapters and yield the following conclusions: i) fossil fish teeth appear to be robust recorders of authigenic Nd in a shelf setting and remain robust under changing redox conditions within the sediments; ii) a multi-site authigenic Nd isotope study in the Tasman region of the Southern Ocean indicates active deep water formation in the Southern Ocean, and excursions recorded are the result of a previously unreported widespread perturbation to the hydrological cycle on Antarctica; iii) the first authigenic Nd record from the North Atlantic EOT is consistent with a change in deep water masses coinciding with the transition to a cooler climate, and iv) changing sediment provenance indicates a dynamic Antarctic ice sheet throughout the Oligocene.

description: The origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) is still unknown. It has recently been proposed that UHECR anisotropies can be attributed to starburst galaxies or active galactic nuclei. We suggest that the latter is more likely and that giant-lobed radio galaxies such as Centaurus A and Fornax A can explain the data.

description: The interaction of magnetic fields and convection is investigated in the context of the coronal heating problem. We study the motions of photospheric magnetic elements using filtergrams obtained at the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope at La Palma. We use potential-field modeling to extrapolate the magnetic and velocity fields to larger height. We find that the velocity in the chromosphere can be locally enhanced at the separatrix surfaces between neighboring flux tubes. The predicted velocities are several km/s, significantly larger than those of the photospheric flux tubes, which may have important implications for coronal heating. s

A Model Based Motion Planning Framework For Automated Vehicles in Structured Environments

description: Overtaking is a challenging task in the field of
 autonomous driving, especially on roads with an opposite lane
 and oncoming vehicles. Since trajectory planning is repeated
 cyclic it is highly important to trigger the maneuver only if it is
 guaranteed that collision-free trajectories that satisfy kinematic
 constraints exist at each planning step. The goal of this paper is
 to present an algorithm for planning overtaking trajectories on
 large temporal horizons in real-time. The main idea is as follows:
 once overtaking is desired by the behavior module an initial
 trajectory is simulated using a path tracking control algorithm
 for lane changing combined with a classical PI-controller for
 approaching the target speed. The controllers are parametrized
 in a way that the simulated trajectory will satisfy kinematic
 constraints. If no collisions are detected a corridor containing
 the simulated trajectory is created to state constraints for a
 subsequent optimal control problem to relax the trajectory and
 smooth it to be comfortable to the vehicle passengers.

description: Spontaneous breaking of continuous time translation symmetry into a discrete one is related to time crystal formation. While the phenomenon is not possible in the ground state of a time-independent many-body system, it can occur in an excited eigenstate. Here, we concentrate on bosons on a ring with attractive contact interactions and analyze a quantum quench from the time crystal regime to the non-interacting regime. We show that dynamical quantum phase transitions can be observed where the return probability of the system to the initial state before the quench reveals a non-analytical behavior in time. The problem we consider constitutes an example of the dynamical quantum phase transitions in a system where both time and space continuous translation symmetries are broken.

title: Orientalismus und Okzidentalismus in Plakaten (1945-2001). Die Migration visueller Stereotype von Ost nach West und von West nach Ost

description: In meinem Forschungsprojekt geht es um Plakate als eine spezielle Form der Gebrauchsgrafik. Gegenübergestellt und gleichzeitig miteinander in Beziehung gebracht werden „okzidentale“ und „orientalische“ Plakate, vornehmlich Werbeplakate, die auf der „westlichen“ Seite orientalistische Motive und auf der „orientalischen“ Seite okzidentalistische Formsprache und Informationsgehalte verwenden. Der Untersuchungszeitraum ist die zweite Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts ab 1945 bis zum September 2001, also bis zu der Zeit, bevor der sunnitisch geprägte Fundamentalismus für die Kunst relevant wurde. Dabei werden die künstlerischen Verbindungen und Wege von Motiven zwischen West und Ost verfolgt und somit die komplexen Beziehungen zwischen der Plakatproduktion zweier sich selbst jeweils als „anders“ wahrnehmender Kulturen untersucht. Es geht nicht nur um Unterschiede, sondern gleichermaßen um Gemeinsamkeiten, Übernahmen, Verwandlungen, wechselseitige Stereotypisierungen und um möglicherweise parallele Entwicklungen, also um transkulturelle Prozesse, die an konkreten und in den jeweiligen Gesellschaften sichtbaren Kunstprodukten ablesbar sind.

Solvable Models for radiating Black Holes and Area-preserving Diffeomorphisms

description: Solvable theories of 2D dilaton gravity can be obtained from a Liouville theory by suitable field redefinitions. In this paper we propose a new framework to generate 2D dilaton gravity models which can also be exactly solved in the semiclassical approximation. Our approach is based on the recently introduced scheme to quantize massless scalar fields coupled to 2D gravity maintaining invariance under area-preserving diffeomorphisms and Weyl transformations. Starting from the CGHS model with the new effective action we reestablish the full diffeomorphism invariance by means of an adequate family of field redefinitions. The original theory is therefore mapped into a large family of solvable models. We focus our analysis on the one-parameter class of models interpolating between the Russo-Susskind-Thorlacius model and the Bose-Parker-Peleg model. Finally we shall briefly indicate how can we extend our approach to spherically symmetric Einstein gravity coupled to 2D conformal matter.

Topology-controlled thermopower oscillations in multiterminal Andreev interferometers

description: We theoretically investigate coherent oscillations of the thermopower $\mathcal{S}$ as a function of the magnetic flux $Φ$ in six-terminal Andreev interferometers. We demonstrate that the thermopower behavior is determined by a number of contributions originating from the Josephson-like and Aharonov-Bohm-like effects as well as from electron-hole asymmetry. The relative weight of these contributions depends on the relation between temperature, voltage bias and an effective Thouless energy of our setup. We particularly emphasize the role of the system topology that may have a dramatic impact on the behavior of $\mathcal{S}(Φ)$.

description: Sub-arcsecond radio continuum observations of the Galactic center region at $λ$6 and 2cm reveal a 0.5$^{\prime\prime}$ diameter source with a shell-like morphology. This source is linearly polarized at a level of 16% at $λ$6cm and has a steep nonthermal spectrum with spectral index 1.6 between $λ$6 and 2 cm. The distance to this source is not known but the large rotation measure value of 3000 rad m$^{-2}$ suggests that G359.87+0.18 is likely to be located in the inner Galaxy or at an extragalactic distance. We discuss possible interpretations of this object as a recent supernova, a very young supernova remnant, a nova remnant, or an extragalactic source. All possibilities are highly problematic.
