description: Bell inequalities are an important tool in device-independent quantum information processing because their violation can serve as a certificate of relevant quantum properties. Probably the best known example of a Bell inequality is due to Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt (CHSH), which is defined in the simplest scenario involving two dichotomic measurements and whose all key properties are well understood. There have been many attempts to generalise the CHSH Bell inequality to higher-dimensional quantum systems, however, for most of them the maximal quantum violation---the key quantity for most device-independent applications---remains unknown. On the other hand, the constructions for which the maximal quantum violation can be computed, do not preserve the natural property of the CHSH inequality, namely, that the maximal quantum violation is achieved by the maximally entangled state and measurements corresponding to mutually unbiased bases. In this work we propose a novel family of Bell inequalities which exhibit precisely these properties, and whose maximal quantum violation can be computed analytically. In the simplest scenario it recovers the CHSH Bell inequality. These inequalities involve $d$ measurements settings, each having $d$ outcomes for an arbitrary prime number $d\geq 3$. We then show that in the three-outcome case our Bell inequality can be used to self-test the maximally entangled state of two-qutrits and three mutually unbiased bases at each site. Yet, we demonstrate that in the case of more outcomes, their maximal violation does not allow for self-testing in the standard sense, which motivates the definition of a new weak form of self-testing. The ability to certify high-dimensional MUBs makes these inequalities attractive from the device-independent cryptography point of view.

Beating pattern in radiation-induced oscillatory magnetoresistance in 2DES: coupling of plasmon-like and acoustic phonon modes
Creators: name: Inarrea, Jesus
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a microscopic theory on the observation of a beating pattern in the radiation-induced magnetoresistance oscillations at very low magnetic field. We con- sider that such a beating pattern develops as a result of the coupling between two oscillatory components: the first is a system of electron Landau states being harmon- ically driven by radiation. The second is a lattice oscillation, i.e., an acoustic phonon mode. We analyze the dependence of the beating pattern on temperature, radiation frequency and power. We conclude that the beating pattern is an evidence of the radiation-driven nature of the irradiated Landau states that makes them behave as a collective plasma oscillation at the radiation frequency. Thus, the frequency of such plasmons could be tuned from microwave to terahertz in the same nanodevice with an apparent technological application.

description: Abstract: Both the dairy cattle and sheep industries face the simultaneous challenge of improving feed efficiency and reducing methane emissions. Genomic selection is a valuable tool to reduce residual feed intake (RFI) and reduce methane yield (MeY), which are widely used traits for estimating efficiency and emissions. However, it is important to know how selecting one of these traits would affect the other and this relationship has been contentious in the literature. Here we estimated the genetic correlations between RFI and MeY in 584 Holstein dairy cattle and 445 Australian Maternal Composite ewes using bi-variate genomic best linear unbiased prediction models. In both datasets, negative genetic correlations between RFI and MeY were found, which means that selecting more feed efficient animals would increase the amount of methane emitted per kg of dry matter intake. Diet could play a role in this relationship.
Expansion and evaporation of hot nuclei: Comparison between semi-classical and quantal mean-field approaches

description: We present a general discussion of the mean field dynamics of finite nuclei prepared under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. We compare the prediction of semi-classical approximation with complete quantum simulations. Many features of the dynamics are carefully studied such as the collective expansion, the evaporation process, the different time-scale... This study points out many quantitative differences between quantum and semi-classical approaches. Part of the differences are related to numerical features inherent in semi-classical simulations but most of them are a direct consequence of the non treatment of nuclei as quantal objects. In particular, we show that because of a too strong damping in semi-classical approaches the expansion of hot nuclei is quenched and the speed of the collective motion reduced.

Signal Processing in Arrayed MIMO Systems
Creators: name: Wang, Xiao Lei
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems, using antenna arrays at both receiver and transmitter, have shown great potential to provide high bandwidth utilization efficiency. Unlike other reported research on MIMO systems which often assumes independent antennas, in this thesis an arrayed MIMO system framework is proposed, which provides a richer description of the channel charac- teristics and additional degrees of freedom in designing communication systems. Firstly, the spatial correlated MIMO system is studied as an array-to-array system with each array (Tx or Rx) having predefined constrained aperture. The MIMO system is completely characterized by its transmit and receive array man- ifolds and a new spatial correlation model other than Kronecker-based model is proposed. As this model is based on array manifolds, it enables the study of the effect of array geometry on the capacity of correlated MIMO channels. Secondly, to generalize the proposed arrayed MIMO model to a frequency selective fading scenario, the framework of uplink MIMO DS-CDMA (Direct- Sequence Code Division Multiple Access) systems is developed. DOD estimation is developed based on transmit beamrotation. A subspace-based joint DOA/TOA estimation scheme as well as various spatial temporal reception algorithms is also proposed. Finally, the downlink MIMO-CDMA systems in multiple-access multipath fading channels are investigated. Linear precoder and decoder optimization problems are studied under different criterions. Optimization approaches with different power allocation schemes are investigated. Sub-optimization approaches with close-form solution and thus less computation complexity are also proposed.

description: In mathematical applications, category theory remains a contentious issue, with enthusiastic fans and a skeptical majority. In a muted form this split applies to the authors of this note. When we learned that the only mathematically sound foundation of topological quantum computing in the literature is based on category theory, the skeptical author suggested to "decategorize" the foundation. But we discovered, to our surprise, that category theory (or something like it) is necessary for the purpose, for computational reasons. The goal of this note is to give a high-level explanation of that necessity, which avoids details and which suggests that the case of topological quantum computing is far from unique.

Efficient radiative transfer techniques in hydrodynamic simulations

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Radiative transfer is an important component of hydrodynamic simulations as it determines the thermal properties of a physical system. It is especially important in cases where heating and cooling regulate significant processes, such as in the collapse of molecular clouds, the development of gravitational instabilities in protostellar discs, disc-planet interactions, and planet migration. We compare two approximate radiative transfer methods which indirectly estimate optical depths within hydrodynamic simulations using two different metrics: (i) the gravitational potential and density of the gas (Stamatellos et al.), and (ii) the pressure scale-height (Lombardi et al.). We find that both methods are accurate for spherical configurations e.g. in collapsing molecular clouds and within clumps that form in protostellar discs. However, the pressure scale-height approach is more accurate in protostellar discs (low and high-mass discs, discs with spiral features, discs with embedded planets). We also investigate the $β$-cooling approximation which is commonly used when simulating protostellar discs, and in which the cooling time is proportional to the orbital period of the gas. We demonstrate that the use of a constant $β$ cannot capture the wide range of spatial and temporal variations of cooling in protostellar discs, which may affect the development of gravitational instabilities, planet migration, planet mass growth, and the orbital properties of planets.

Lithological mapping on the Antarctic Peninsula using advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) data
Creators: name: Haselwimmer, Christian E.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The Antarctic Peninsula is larger than the UK and with limited geological mapping campaigns since the 1940s significant gaps in coverage remain, particularly in areas where access is difficult. Remote sensing offers potential for improving geological mapping on the peninsula but has not been used for these purposes. This thesis describes the use of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data for lithological mapping of predominantly calc-alkaline subduction-related igneous rocks on the Antarctic Peninsula. The research encompassed lithological mapping of four study areas selected to provide an appropriate test of the potential of ASTER. Processing of ASTER reflectance and thermal emission data used spectral enhancement procedures and the matched filter (MF) spectral mapping method. This was supported by reflectance spectroscopy of rock samples, Hyperion data, thin section petrography, geochemical data for acid volcanic rocks, and fieldwork on Adelaide Island. The research shows although outcrop is limited in the polar context, weathering effects and vegetation cover do not cause significant problems. ASTER provides a range of lithologic information enabling validation of inferred field mapping and new observations of unmapped geology in the study areas. Granitoids and silicic volcanic rocks display distinctive spectral properties and are newly identified from unmapped parts of the Oscar II, Foyn, and Lassiter coasts. Areas of localised alteration in these rocks are readily discriminated based on the distinctive absorption features of the alteration mineral assemblages. ASTER is less successful at discriminating intermediate-mafic igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic lithologies that display more ambiguous spectral features. For these rocks lithological mapping is strongly reliant on existing field observations to resolve ambigious results. The research shows that although ASTER is limited in its ability to uniquely discriminate different rock types it can provide important lithological information in support of geological mapping on the Antarctic Peninsula.

description: Using a pseudo-particle technique we simulate large-amplitude isoscalar giant octupole excitations in a finite nuclear system. Dependent on the initial conditions we observe either clear octupole modes or over-damped octupole modes which decay immediately into quadrupole ones. This shows clearly a behavior beyond linear response. We propose that octupole modes might be observed in central collisions of heavy ions.
A simple projective setup to study optical cloaking in the classroom

description: Optical cloaking consists in hiding from sight an object by properly deviating the light that comes from it. An optical cloaking device (OCD) is an artifact that hides the object and, at the same time, its presence is not (or should not be) noticeable for the observer, who will have the impression of being looking through it. At the level of paraxial geometrical optics, suitable for undergraduate courses, simple OCDs can be built by combining a series of lenses. With this motivation, here we present an analysis of a simple projective OCD arrangement. First, a simple theoretical account in terms of the transfer matrix method is provided, and then the outcomes from a series of teaching experiments carried out with this device, easy to conduct in the classroom, are discussed. In particular, the performance of such an OCD is investigated by determining the effect of the hidden object, role here played by the opaque zone of an iris-type diaphragm, on the projected image of an illuminated transparent slide (test object). That is, cloaking is analyzed in terms of the optimal position and opening diameter of a diaphragm that still warrants an almost unaffected projected image. Because the lenses are not high-quality ones, the OCD is not aberration-free, which is advantageously considered to determine acceptable cloaking conditions (i.e., the tolerance of the device).

Optimal noise functions for location privacy on continuous regions

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Users of location-based services (LBSs) are highly vulnerable to privacy risks since they need to disclose, at least partially, their locations to benefit from these services. One possibility to limit these risks is to obfuscate the location of a user by adding random noise drawn from a noise function. In this paper, we require the noise functions to satisfy a generic location privacy notion called $\ell$-privacy, which makes the position of the user in a given region $\mathcal{X}$ relatively indistinguishable from other points in $\mathcal{X}$. We also aim at minimizing the loss in the service utility due to such obfuscation. While existing optimization frameworks regard the region $\mathcal{X}$ restrictively as a finite set of points, we consider the more realistic case in which the region is rather continuous with a non-zero area. In this situation, we demonstrate that circular noise functions are enough to satisfy $\ell$-privacy on $\mathcal{X}$ and equivalently on the entire space without any penalty in the utility. Afterwards, we describe a large parametric space of noise functions that satisfy $\ell$-privacy on $\mathcal{X}$, and show that this space has always an optimal member, regardless of $\ell$ and $\mathcal{X}$. We also investigate the recent notion of $ε$-geo-indistinguishability as an instance of $\ell$-privacy, and prove in this case that with respect to any increasing loss function, the planar Laplace noise function is optimal for any region having a nonzero area.

description: We study the electric flux tubes that undertake color confinement in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories softly broken down to N=1 by perturbing with the first two Casimir operators. The relevant Abelian Higgs model is not the standard one due to the presence of an off-diagonal coupling among different magnetic U(1) factors. We perform a preliminary study of this model at a qualitative level. BPS vortices are explicitely obtained for particular values of the soft breaking parameters. Generically however, even in the ultrastrong scaling limit, vortices are not critical but live in a "hybrid" type II phase. Also, ratios among string tensions are seen to follow no simple pattern. We examine the situation at the half Higgsed vacua and find evidence for solutions with the behaviour of superconducting strings. In some cases they are solutions to BPS equations.

The algebra includes the Lagrangians which are intrinsic to the topological field theory and composed of fermionic generators. Studying the Lagrangians through a gauge system of osp(2|2)+osp(2|2), geometrical features inherent to the algebra are revealed: a moduli space associated with the algebra is derived and the crucial roles which the fermionic generators play in the moduli space are clarified It is argued that there exists a specific relation between the topological twist and the moduli problem through a geometrical aspect of the algebra.

WWOX, tumour suppressor and modifier gene, as a regulator of gene expression and apoptosis in ovarian cancer
Creators: name: Janczar, Szymon Lech
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: WWOX is a tumour suppressor gene, as demonstrated by increased neoplasia incidence in Wwox-knock-out animals, and is frequently disrupted in human cancers. WWOX expression reconstitution abolishes xenograft growth of lung, pancreatic, breast, ovarian and prostate cancer cells. The tumoursuppressive function of WWOX is suggested to be related to pro-apoptotic effects or interactions with potentially oncogenic transcription factors leading to their cytoplasmic sequestration and trans-activity inhibition. In physiology WWOX might be involved in metabolism. Our group demonstrated that WWOX reconstitution in ovarian cancer cells inhibits xenograft growth but this was not accompanied by altered in vitro growth or apoptosis rates. Rather, WWOX transfection reduced cancer cell adhesion to extracellular matrix due to reduction of integrin α3 binding. Additionally, our group postulated that natural polymorphic variants of WWOX are linked to ovarian cancer clinicopathological features. The hypotheses behind this work were that WWOX regulates gene expression or promotes apoptosis in ovarian cancer. Further, this project aimed at confirming the associations of WWOX polymorphisms. I demonstrate no link between WWOX status and the subcellular localization of putative WWOX-binding transcription factors or the expression of their target genes in ovarian cancer cells. The phenotypic consequences of WWOX expression manipulation do not appear to be explained by transcriptional changes. I show that WWOX increases apoptosis rates in ovarian cancer cells exposed to the chemotherapy agent paclitaxel, but not cisplatin. This is independent of the anti-mitotic function of taxanes and unrelated to integrin regulation. Rather, WWOX promotes cell death during taxane-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress. I propose WWOX-driven cell death during endoplasmic reticulum stress might be also linked to anti-tumorigenic effects in vivo. A validation study did not confirm the link between WWOX genetic variants and ovarian cancer pathology. There is also no link between WWOX polymorphisms and bone metabolism, a trait affected in WWOX-knock-out animals.

description: OLIMPO is a proposed Antarctic balloon-borne Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) imager to study gas dynamics associated with structure formation along with the properties of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) residing in the connective filaments. During a 25 day flight OLIMPO will image a total of 10 z~0.05 galaxy clusters and 8 bridges at 145, 250, 365, and 460 GHz at an angular resolution of 1.0'-3.3'. The maps will be significantly deeper than those planned from CMB-S4 and CCAT-P, and will have excellent fidelity to the large angular scales of our low-z targets, which are difficult to probe from the ground. In combination with X-ray data from eROSITA and XRISM we will transform our current static view of galaxy clusters into a full dynamic picture by measuring the internal intra-cluster medium (ICM) velocity structure with the kinematic SZE, X-ray spectroscopy, and the power spectrum of ICM fluctuations. Radio observations from ASKAP and MeerKAT will be used to better understand the connection between ICM turbulence and shocks with the relativistic plasma. Beyond the cluster boundary, we will combine thermal SZE maps from OLIMPO with X-ray imaging from eROSITA to measure the thermodynamics of the WHIM residing in filaments, providing a better understanding of its properties and its contribution to the total baryon budget.

description: This report is a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties Archeological Site Survey, Basic Data Report for the site T11, 18CH223. This site is located on the east side of Cedar Point Neck in a wooded area 1km north of Upper Cedar Point. It is located adjacent to the old access road to Cedar Point Farm. This site represents the remains of a frame tenant house which is located adjacent to the old Cedar Point Farm access road and hence was probably associated with that farm. A local informant notes that a Mr. John Queen resided in this home during the early 20th century, and that it was abandoned during the 1920s. Today the site is marked by a series of comer foundation piers and a central brick rubble pile, probably a chimney fall. The former structure measured about 12x18' and was built with sawn lumber and cut nails. Approximately 50’ southwest of the house site is an associated dump scattered over approximately 1000 square feet. Visible artifacts dated to the early 20th century.
Improving efficiency in drive lines : an experimental study on churning losses in hypoid axle
Creators: name: Jeon, Soo Il
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The research concerns improvement of the power efficiency of lubricated components in automotive drivelines such as transmissions and axles. Meshed gear pairs, rolling bearings, seals and oil churning by rotating components immersed in the oil are studied. The purpose of the research is to explore the most effective way of improving the efficiency in drivelines, focusing on an axle comprising hypoid gears and a differential assembly. First, a study of the nature of losses affecting the efficiency of a simple spur gear box was carried out, and a model of friction and churning in a simple transmission was developed. Next, a detailed experimental study of oil churning losses in a hypoid axle from a four wheel drive road vehicle was carried out using the inertia run-down technique. To perform the above experiments, a new test rig for measuring oil churning losses was designed, manufactured and commissioned. The test rig allowed a wide range of speed and lubricant parameters to be explored and was designed by the author for tests available at different roll and pitch attitudes. In addition, an "extended" housing, consisting of a modified gear case that accepted the same internal components as the production axle but which had much greater internal clearances, was designed and manufactured. This enabled the effects of different casing geometry and of internal baffles to be studied. Additionally, the extension housing was modified to investigate the oil flow inside the housing through its one transparent side for the understanding of the effect of oil flow on churning losses. An investigation of design-related parameters influencing churning losses was carried out using the new test rig. Empirical equations for the churning losses, based on dimensional analysis, were developed to describe the test results. It was found that some combinations of baffles gave a significant reduction in losses. Supplementary tests were carried out using transparent windows to visualise the oil flow. These identified some of the mechanisms responsible for the reduction in churning loss and suggested a number of practical methods by which churning could be reduced without compromising the lubricant supply to remote components. It is argued that these innovations can contribute to improving fuel efficiency and limiting oil temperature rise in all-wheel-drive vehicles.

description: We present evidence for the existence of infinitely-many new families of renormalisation group flows between the nonunitary minimal models of conformal field theory. These are associated with perturbations by the $ϕ_{21}$ and $ϕ_{15}$ operators, and generalise a family of flows discovered by Martins. In all of the new flows, the finite-volume effective central charge is a non-monotonic function of the system size. The evolution of this effective central charge is studied by means of a nonlinear integral equation, a massless variant of an equation recently found to describe certain massive perturbations of these same models. We also observe that a similar non-monotonicity arises in the more familiar $ϕ_{13}$ perturbations, when the flows induced are between nonunitary minimal models.

Mathematical modelling of ion regulations in fungi
Creators: name: Ke, Ruian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Intracellular ion concentration and cation transporter activities are important determinants of many fundamental physiological parameters, including cell turgor, plasma membrane potential and intracellular pH. In order to maintain these parameters within physiological ranges despite external perturbations, cells regulate their transporter activities through both post-translational modifications and gene regulation. In this thesis, the ion regulations in two model fungal species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus nidulans, are investigated. We use a mathematical modelling approach to gain a quantitative understanding of the impact of collective transporter activities on the intracellular cation concentrations and the cellular adaptation processes. This thesis is mainly composed of two parts: 1) A biophysical and mathematical model is built for the cation transporters and their regulatory proteins to describe the temporal changes of cell volume, intracellular pH and cation concentrations during hyper-osmotic stress, ionic stress and alkaline pH stress in S. cerevisiae. 2) Four models are built for the activation of the alkaline pH responsive transcription factor, PacC, in A. nidulans, based on competing hypotheses. The integrated model in the first part shows that calcineurin activation in response to stress conditions results in a rapid and transient decrease of membrane potential, which we speculate is an important strategy for the cell to respond to unknown external ionic perturbations. The model also confirms the importance of Hog1p phosphorylation on Nha1p and Tok1p for immediate adaptation to salt stress and predicted that activated Hog1p down-regulates Tok1p activity. In alkaline stress conditions, the induction of Ena1p expression results in increased membrane potential. This model provides a theoretical framework for the study of ion homeostasis in stress conditions, the understanding of drug effects, such as FK506. And since the membrane potential is an important determinant of drug uptake, the model is well suited for the drug development. In the second part of the thesis, results from those competing models for PacC activation show significant difference for the pacC904 mutant strain and suggests that further experiments on this strain would be able to uncover the role of the intermediate form, PacC53, plays in the activation process.
