description: We present an implementation of the relational programming language miniKanren as a set of combinators and syntax extensions for OCaml. The key feature of our approach is polymorphic unification, which can be used to unify data structures of arbitrary types. In addition we provide a useful generic programming pattern to systematically develop relational specifications in a typed manner, and address the problem of integration of relational subsystems into functional applications.

description: We present the analysis of archival data from the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics} (ASCA) of the supernova remnant (SNR) G39.2-0.3. G39.2-0.3 has been sometimes characterized as a shell-like remnant in the literature but our high-energy imaging and spectral analysis show the unambiguous composite nature of the remnant. We find that part of the contribution to G39.2-0.3's X-ray emission is distinctly non-thermal, best described by a power law with a photon index ($2.53^{\rm +0.34}_{\rm -0.27}$). The region of emission is consistent with a point source (extension consistent with the point spread function of the detector at the off-axis angle of the observation) and is roughly defined by a circle of radius of about 4 arcmin. A second contribution comes from a thermal component which contributes flux primarily at low energies. Despite the absence of any pulsed emission detected from the compact source, we argue that the emission is most probably due to a rotating compact object that is powering the detected synchrotron nebula within the SNR. \\

Delineating the role of oxidants in Pd-catalysed C-H activation reactions
Creators: name: Mulligan, Christopher John
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Catalytic C-H activation reactions are valuable synthetic tools that can provide efficient routes to important molecular motifs. These reactions are often touted as being more atom economic than other catalytic reactions, this is particularly true of oxidative catalytic C H activation. However, oxidative catalytic C H activation reactions require an oxidant, and if the oxidant used generates high molecular mass and/or toxic by-products, the atom economic / environmental benefits of these reactions is questionable. According, the aims of this thesis are to investigate catalytic C-H activation reactions that proceed via an oxidative mechanism, and to implement the use of greener oxidants (e.g. O¬2). The first chapter covers the relevant literature regarding C H activation strategies and C H cleavage mechanisms. Chapter two, focus on the Fujiwara-Moritani reaction (a.k.a. oxidative Heck) between acetanilide and butyl acrylate. Initially, the use of air as a highly convenient oxidant was investigated however, this reaction was found to produce a variable result, the cause of this was investigated but not definitively determined. Following this, a mechanistic study was conduct using benzoquinone (BQ) as a stoichiometric oxidant. This study was primary comprised of kinetic experiments, but also incorporated the use of other mechanistic techniques (Job and Hammett plots). The results presented in this chapter support the involvement of a mixed acetate / tosylate active catalyst in the rate determining step, which is thought to be C H cleavage. In addition to this, a series of same excess experiments revealed that no catalyst degradation occurs throughout the reaction, with the major deactivation process being hydroquinone inhibition. In Chapter three, the steady-state rate equation is derived and kinetic modelling is used to rationalise the mechanism proposed in the previous chapter. Chapter four investigates C O bond forming oxidative catalytic C-H activation. This work initially focused on developing conditions for the acyloxylation reaction between acetanilide and benzoic acid. Reaction conditions were developed that provided a modest yield, although they were synthetically impractical. Following this, alternative oxidants were investigated for the acetoxylation reaction of acetanilide. Catalytic conditions using peracetic acid were developed and the substrate scope was investigated. The final chapter provides experimental details and characterisation data.

description: Live $^{60}$Fe has recently been reported in a deep-ocean ferromanganese crust. Analysis of the isotopic ratios in the sample suggests that the measured $^{60}$Fe abundance exceeds the levels generated by terrestrial and cosmogenic sources, and it has been proposed that the excess of $^{60}$Fe is a signature of a supernova that exploded near the earth several Myr ago. In this paper, we consider the possible background sources, and confirm that the measured $^{60}$Fe is significantly higher than all known backgrounds, in contrast with the reported abundance of live $^{53}$Mn. We discuss scenarios in which the data are consistent with a supernova event at a distance $D \sim 30$ pc and an epoch $t_{\rm SN} \sim 5$ Myr ago. We propose tests that could confirm or refute the interpretation of the $^{60}$Fe discovery, including searches for $^{10}$Be, $^{129}$I and $^{146}$Sm. Such a nearby supernova event might have had some impact on the earth's biosphere, principally by enhancing the cosmic-ray flux. This might have damaged the earth's ozone layer, enhancing the penetration of solar ultraviolet radiation. In this connection, we comment on the Middle Miocene and Pliocene mini-extinction events. We also speculate on the possibility of a supernova-induced "cosmic-ray winter," if cosmic rays play a significant role in seeding cloud formation.

description: We consider the prospects for detecting weak gravitational lensing by underdensities (voids) in the large-scale matter distribution. We derive the basic expressions for magnification and distortion by spherical voids. Clustering of the background sources and cosmic variance are the main factors which limit in principle the detection of lensing by voids. We conclude that only voids with radii larger than $\sim 100$ \hm have lensing signal to noise larger than unity.

description: LLVM is an infrastructure for code generation and low-level optimizations, which has been gaining popularity as a backend for both research and industrial compilers, including many compilers for functional languages. While LLVM provides a relatively easy path to high-quality native code, its design is based on a traditional runtime model which is not well suited to alternative compilation strategies used in high-level language compilers, such as the use of heap-allocated continuation closures. This paper describes a new LLVM-based backend that supports heap-allocated continuation closures, which enables constant-time callcc and very-lightweight multithreading. The backend has been implemented in the Parallel ML compiler, which is part of the Manticore system, but the results should be useful for other compilers, such as Standard ML of New Jersey, that use heap-allocated continuation closures.

description: We investigate observational constraints from lensing statistics and high-z type Ia supernovae on flat cosmological models with nonrelativistic matter and an exotic fluid with equation of state, $p_x=(m/3 -1)ρ_x$. We show that agreement with both tests at the 68% confidence level is possible if the parameter $m$ is low ($m \lesssim 0.85$) and $0.24 \lesssim Ω_{m0} \lesssim 0.38$ with lower values of $Ω_{m0}$ corresponding to higher $m$. We find that a conventional cosmological constant model with $Ω_{m0}\simeq 0.33$ is the best fit model of the combined likelihood.

description: Although initially lagging behind discoveries being made in other taxa, mammalian sperm competition is now a productive and advancing field of research. Sperm competition in mammals is not merely a ‘sprint-race’ between the gametes of rival males, but rather a race over hurdles; those hurdles being the anatomical and physiological barriers provided by the female reproductive tract, as well as the egg and its vestments. With this in mind, in this review, I discuss progress in the field while focusing on the female perspective. I highlight ways by which sperm competition can have positive effects on female reproductive success and discuss how competitive outcomes are not only due to dynamics between the ejaculates of rival males, but also attributable to mechanisms by which female mammals bias paternity toward favourable sires. Drawing on examples across different species—from mice to humans—I provide an overview of the accumulated evidence which firmly establishes that sperm competition is a key selective force in the evolution of male traits and detail how females can respond to increased sperm competitiveness with increased egg resistance to fertilization. I also discuss evidence for facultative responses to the sperm competition environment observed within mammal species. Overall, this review identifies shortcomings in our understanding of the specific mechanisms by which female mammals ‘select’ sperm. More generally, this review demonstrates how, moving forward, mammals will continue to be effective animal models for studying both evolutionary and facultative responses to sperm competition.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Fifty years of sperm competition’.

description: Leading eigenvalue problems for large scale matrices arise in many applications. Coordinate-wise descent methods are considered in this work for such problems based on a reformulation of the leading eigenvalue problem as a non-convex optimization problem. The convergence of several coordinate-wise methods is analyzed and compared. Numerical examples of applications to quantum many-body problems demonstrate the efficiency and provide benchmarks of the proposed coordinate-wise descent methods.

The hyperons are included by means of the relativistic Hartree-- or Hartree--Fock approximation. The obtained couplings are also in satisfactory agreement with hypernuclei data in the relativistic Hartree scheme. Within the relativistic Hartree--Fock approximation hypernuclei have not been investigated so far.

Which-Way Measurement and Momentum Kicks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two-slit interference experiment with a which-way detector has been a topic of intense debate. Scientific community is divided on the question whether the particle receives a momentum kick because of the process of which-way measurement. It is shown here that the same experiment can be viewed in two different ways, depending on which basis of the which-way detector states one chooses to look at. In one view, the loss of interference arises due to the entanglement of the two paths of the particle with two orthogonal states of the which-way detector. In another view, the loss of interference can be interpreted as arising from random momentum kicks of magnitude $h/2d$ received by the particle, $d$ being the slit separation. The same scenario is shown to hold for a three-slit interference experiment. The random momentum kicks for the three-slit case are of two kinds, of magnitude $\pm h/3d$. The analysis is also generalized to the case of n-slit interference. The two alternate views are described by the same quantum state, and hence are completely equivalent. The concept of "local" versus "nonlocal" kicks, much discussed in the literature, is not needed here.

The effective electron mass in core-collapse supernovae
Creators: name: Hardy, Stephen J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Finite temperature field theory is used to calculate the correction to the mass of the electron in plasma with finite temperature and arbitrary chemical potential, and the results are applied to the core regions of type II supernovae (SNe). It is shown that the effective electron mass varies between 1 MeV at the edge of the SN core up to 11 MeV near the center. This changed electron mass affects the rates of the electroweak processes which involve electrons and positrons. Due to the high electron chemical potential, the total emissivities and absorptivities of interactions involving electrons are only reduced a fraction of a percent. However, for interactions involving positrons, the emissivities and absorptivities are reduced by up to 20 percent. This is of particular significance for the reaction antineutrino + proton positron + neutron which is a source of opacity for antineutrinos in the cores of type II SNe.

description: We analyze how to obtain non-resonant and resonant Raman spectra within the Placzek as well as the Albrecht approximation. Both approximations are derived from the matrix element for light scattering by application of the Kramers, Heisenberg and Dirac formula. It is shown that the Placzek expression results from a semi-classical approximation of the combined electronic and vibrational transition energies. Molecular hydrogen, water and butadiene are studied as test cases. It turns out that the Placzek approximation agrees qualitatively with the more accurate Albrecht formulation even in the resonant regime for the excitations of single vibrational quanta. However, multiple vibrational excitations are absent in Placzek, but can be of similar intensities as single excitations under resonance conditions. The Albrecht approximation takes multiple vibrational excitations into account and the resulting simulated spectra exhibit good agreement with experimental Raman spectra in the resonance region as well.

Structural and electronic properties of tin ternary oxides
Creators: name: Riedel, Caroline
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Metal oxides are one of the most important groups of materials with great technological importance. The variety of their physical and chemical properties allows for a multitude of applications unsurpassed by other material classes. Even though decades of research have gone into the understanding of their properties and the development of new materials there is still much to learn. This work aims to provide new insight into known materials such as SnWO4 and SrSnO3 as well as to develop new materials (by doping) to enhance the properties of the parent compounds. All materials investigated in this thesis are Sn based ternary oxides with properties allowing for possible application as photocatalysts or transparent conductive oxides. Therefore, in depth characterisation with X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) of bulk and thin film materials was undertaken. The organisation of this thesis is as follows, Chapter 1 will give an introduction into key areas regarding metal oxides as well as the structure of the metal oxides investigated. Chapter 2 will provide the reader with background information, while Chapter 3 describes the practical details of the experimental techniques used. Chapter 4 presents results of the core levels and electronic structure of SnWO4 obtained with soft and hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In chapter 5 the growth behaviour of SrSnO3 as epitaxial thin films and possible effects this might have on the electronic structure is investigated followed by the characterisation of Ru-doped SrSnO3 in chapter 6. Chapter 7 focuses on the experimental verification of the theoretical work on Pb-doped SnO2 and the study of both the core levels as well as the electronic structure of Sn1-xPbxO2. The final chapter concludes this thesis and gives a summary of the results as well as an outlook on future work.
Numerical analysis of geothermal piles
Creators: name: Gawecka, Klementyna Agnieszk
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: In recent years, geotechnical engineers have been encountering an increasing number of problems involving the effects of temperature. The research presented in this thesis focuses on the utilisation of geothermal energy, i.e. the thermal energy stored in the ground, through ground source energy systems (GSES). This renewable energy technology has been recognised as a reliable means of providing low-carbon space heating and cooling, and is becoming increasingly popular. Particularly attractive are systems where the heat exchanger pipes, which facilitate the transfer of energy between the building and the ground, are incorporated into geotechnical structures, such as piles, retaining walls or tunnel linings. The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to explore the effects of temperature variations on the behaviour of such geothermal piles, and provide recommendations on their modelling and design. However, while the Imperial College Finite Element Program (ICFEP) is capable of simulating the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of porous materials, further developments, which allow for accurate modelling of GSES, are necessary. Firstly, a new type of finite elements – one-dimensional elements for three-dimensional analysis – is implemented into ICFEP with full THM coupling. Hence, these elements can be used for a variety of applications, including modelling structural components or heat exchanger pipes. Secondly, the problem of simulating advection-dominated heat flow using the finite element method (FEM) is addressed by replacing the Galerkin FEM with the Petrov-Galerkin FEM for the solution of the heat transfer equations. Finally, a new constitutive model capable of simulating the non-isothermal behaviour of soils observed in laboratory experiments is developed. These developments are subsequently applied in a comprehensive computational study which explains the thermo-mechanical behaviour of geothermal piles. The study quantifies the transient behaviour and investigates the influence of various modelling approaches, application of the thermal load, soil properties, as well as thermo-plasticity.

description: Neddylation is a type of posttranslational modification known to regulate a wide range of cellular processes by covalently conjugating the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8 to target proteins at lysine residues. However, the role of neddylation in malaria parasites has not been determined. Here, for the first time, we showed that neddylation plays an essential role in malaria transmission in Plasmodium berghei. We found that disruption of Nedd8 did not affect blood stage propagation, gametocyte development, gamete formation, or zygote formation while abolishing the formation of ookinetes and further transmission of the parasites in mosquitoes. These phenotypic defects in Nedd8 KO parasites were complemented by reintroducing the gene that restored mosquito transmission to wild-type levels. Our data establish the role of P. berghei Nedd8 in malaria parasite transmission.
Online multimodal autonomous learning of robots internal models
Creators: name: Zambelli, Martina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Robots can learn new skills by autonomously acquiring internal models that can be used for action planning and control. The ability of learning internal models with no prior information allows robots to be fully autonomous not only in the acquisition of such models and motor skills, but also in adapting to new environments and working set-ups. This is particularly important for robots interacting with humans in unconstrained environments. Autonomous learning eases the engineering work of pre-programming each robotic system for each particular task, while endowing robots with flexibility, adaptability and versatility. This thesis investigates how the use of multiple sources of information can influence such autonomous learning process. In particular, multiple prediction hypotheses provided by different prediction models, as well as information available to a robot from multiple sensory modalities (such as vision, touch, proprioception) are leveraged to enhance the learning process. Through autonomous exploration a robot can bootstrap internal models of its own sensorimotor system that enable it to predict the consequences of its actions (forward models) or to generate new actions to reach target states (inverse models). This thesis studies how multiple information can enhance the bootstrapping process of these models or their use in environments and tasks that involve integration of different types of data. It is shown that the use of multiple sources of information benefits the learning process. The combination of multiple predictors allows to enhance forward models' accuracy. The use of multiple sensory modalities is fundamental to perform tasks that are inherently multimodal, such as playing a piano keyboard. Also, multimodal integration allows a versatile applicability of the model learned. Furthermore, the learned multimodal model can be deployed in learning and control frameworks to predict the robot and other agents' motion, and to plan the robot's actions.

You maybe interested in knowing how the students engage in course activities and how they are reading course material. This is an important indicator to look at,especially if you are concerned about taking preventive actions to reduce student dropout rate in your course. In a class, there could be outstanding and average students as well as students at risk.This distribution is severe in online courses. Keeping the average student’s learning path and the time plan as the base, you could monitor student’s progress to identify students lagging behind and provide them more support to complete the course.

For any given burst observed by these two spacecraft, arrival time analysis (or "triangulation") results in an annulus of possible arrival directions whose half-width varies between 7 arcseconds and 32 arcminutes, depending on the intensity and time history of the burst, and the distance of the Ulysses spacecraft from Earth. This annulus generally intersects the BATSE error circle, resulting in an average reduction of the error box area of a factor of 30.

description: The frequency of barred spiral galaxies as a function of redshift contains important information on the gravitational influence of stellar disks in their dark matter halos and also may distinguish between contemporary theories for the origin of galactic bulges. In this paper we present a new quantitative method for determining the strength of barred spiral structure, and verify its robustness to redshift-dependent effects. By combining galaxy samples from the Hubble Deep Field North with newly available data from the Hubble Deep Field South, we are able to define a statistical sample of 18 objectively-defined low-inclination barred spiral systems with $I_{814W}<23.2$ mag. Analysing the proportion of barred spiral galaxies seen as a function of redshift, we find a significant decline in the barred fraction beyond redshifts $z\simeq 0.5$. The physical significance of this effect remains unclear, but several possibilities include dynamically hotter (or increasingly dark-matter dominated) high-redshift discs, or an enhanced efficiency in bar destruction at high redshifts. By investigating the formation of the ``orthogonal'' axis of Hubble's classification tuning fork, our result complements studies of evolution in the early--late sequence, and pushes to later epochs the redshift at which the Hubble classification sequence is observed to be in place.

description: In the era of modern education, addressing cross-school learner diversity is crucial, especially in personalized recommender systems for elective course selection. However, privacy concerns often limit cross-school data sharing, which hinders existing methods' ability to model sparse data and address heterogeneity effectively, ultimately leading to suboptimal recommendations. In response, we propose HFRec, a heterogeneity-aware hybrid federated recommender system designed for cross-school elective course recommendations. The proposed model constructs heterogeneous graphs for each school, incorporating various interactions and historical behaviors between students to integrate context and content information. We design an attention mechanism to capture heterogeneity-aware representations. Moreover, under a federated scheme, we train individual school-based models with adaptive learning settings to recommend tailored electives. Our HFRec model demonstrates its effectiveness in providing personalized elective recommendations while maintaining privacy, as it outperforms state-of-the-art models on both open-source and real-world datasets.

description: We exhibit an exact simulation algorithm for the supremum of a stable process over a finite time interval using dominated coupling from the past (DCFTP). We establish a novel perpetuity equation for the supremum (via the representation of the concave majorants of Lévy processes) and apply it to construct a Markov chain in the DCFTP algorithm. We prove that the number of steps taken backwards in time before the coalescence is detected is finite. We analyse numerically the performance of the algorithm (the code, written in Julia 1.0, is available on GitHub).

title: Directional cloning of DNA fragments using deoxyinosine-containing oligonucleotides and endonuclease V

description: Background: DNA fragments carrying internal recognition sites for the restriction endonucleases intended for cloning into a target plasmid pose a challenge for conventional cloning. Results: A method for directional insertion of DNA fragments into plasmid vectors has been developed. The target sequence is amplified from a template DNA sample by PCR using two oligonucleotides each containing a single deoxyinosine base at the third position from the 5' end. Treatment of such PCR products with endonuclease V generates 3' protruding ends suitable for ligation with vector fragments created by conventional restriction endonuclease reactions. Conclusions: The developed approach generates terminal cohesive ends without the use of Type II restriction endonucleases, and is thus independent from the DNA sequence. Due to PCR amplification, minimal amounts of template DNA are required. Using the robust Taq enzyme or a proofreading Pfu DNA polymerase mutant, the method is applicable to a broad range of insert sequences. Appropriate primer design enables direct incorporation of terminal DNA sequence modifications such as tag addition, insertions, deletions and mutations into the cloning strategy. Further, the restriction sites of the target plasmid can be either retained or removed.

How the dark matter halos cluster in Lagrangian space

description: We investigate the clustering of dark matter halos in Lagrangian space in terms of their two-point correlation function, spanning more than 4 orders of magnitudes of halo masses. Analyzing a set of collisionless scale-free 128^3-particle N-body simulations with spectral indices n = -2,-1, we measure the first two Lagrangian bias parameters b_1 and b_2 relating halo and mass correlations. We find that the Mo & White leading-order formula for b_1 describes the clustering of halos with mass M ~ M_* quite accurately, where M_* indicates the characteristic non-linear mass. Smaller halos turn out to be less clustered in Lagrangian space than predicted by Mo & White. Our findings are consistent with the recent results of Jing for the clustering of halo populations in Eulerian space, demonstrating that the discrepancies between the N-body and analytical Mo & White prediction for the bias exist already in Lagrangian space. This shows that a more refined theoretical algorithm for selecting halos in the initial conditions needs to be developed. Finally, we present a very accurate fitting formula for the linear halo bias factor b_1 in Lagrangian space.

Computational models of the morphology of the developing neonatal human brain
Creators: name: Schuh, Andreas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Automated medical image analysis has made significant progress over the past decades. With recent advances in acquiring high quality in vivo images of the developing human brain, analysing this data for the purpose of understanding brain development is rapidly becoming feasible. Premature birth increases the risk of developing neurocognitive and neurobehavioural disorders. Studying the morphology and function of the brain during maturation, provides us not only with a better understanding of normal development, but may help identify causes for these. A difficulty is to differentiate between neurodevelopmental consequences and normal variation. Reference models are therefore needed. This thesis presents computational methods used to obtain such models. As a prerequisite, an efficient topology-preserving registration is required. Existing methods have been evaluated mostly on adult brain images, with considerably different shape and appearance. We evaluate approaches for the fast diffeomorphic registration on a publicly available neonatal brain image dataset, and present an improved inverse consistent variant of the stationary velocity free-form deformation algorithm. We employ this algorithm for the construction of a spatio-temporal atlas of the neonatal brain, and compare two different approaches. The first approach is based on the registration of all pairs of images. Residual misalignment thereby still impacts the sharpness of the atlas. More detail is preserved with an iterative refinement of the transformations relating each image to the atlas space. We developed a second approach, which jointly estimates mean shape and longitudinal change iteratively. The final atlas demonstrates increased sharpness and temporal consistency. Finally, we present deformable models for the reconstruction of the neonatal cortex, which correct for common errors observed in state-of-the-art neonatal brain segmentations. Our models were found by experts to be superior to the original segmentation in terms of accurately delineating the cortical anatomy, and form a vital component of image processing pipelines of the Developing Human Connectome Project.
