description: The success of LISA Pathfinder in demonstrating the LISA drag-free requirement paved the road of using space missions for detecting low-frequency and middle-frequency GWs. The new LISA GW mission proposes to use arm length of 2.5 Gm (1 Gm = 106 km). The TAIJI GW mission proposes to use arm length of 3 Gm. In order to attain the requisite sensitivity, laser frequency noise must be suppressed to below the secondary noises such as the optical path noise, acceleration noise etc. In previous papers, we have performed the numerical simulation of the time delay interferometry (TDI) for original LISA, ASTROD-GW and eLISA together with a LISA-type mission with a nominal arm length of 2 Gm using the CGC 2.7/CGC2.7.1 ephemeris framework. In this paper, we follow the same procedure to simulate the time delay interferometry numerically for the new LISA mission and the TAIJI mission together with LISA-like missions of arm length 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 Gm. The resulting optical path differences of the second-generation TDI calculated for new LISA, TAIJI, and LISA-like missions or arm length 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 Gm are well below their respective limits which the laser frequency noise is required to be suppressed. However, for of the first generation X, Y, and Z TDI configurations, the original requirements need to be relaxed by 3 to 30 fold to be satisfied. For the new LISA and TAIJI, about one order of magnitude relaxation would be good and recommended; this could be borne on the laser stability requirement in view of recent progress in laser stability. Compared with X, Y and Z, the X+Y+Z configuration does have a good cancellation of path length differences and could serve as a null string detection check. We compile and compare the resulting differences of various TDI configurations due to the different arm lengths for various LISA-like mission proposals and for the ASTROD-GW mission proposal.

Experimental study of radiatively cooled magnetically driven plasma jets
Creators: name: Suzuki Vidal, Francisco Andres
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: This thesis presents the results of experiments to study the formation and dynamics of plasma jets in the laboratory, in particular their scaling to astrophysical jets. The experiments were performed on the MAGPIE generator, which delivered a peak current of 1 MA in 250 ns. A variety of plasma diagnostics allowed the dynamics of the jets to be studied and the conditions of the plasma to be determined. Radial wire array experiments were performed in which the mass of the wires and the magnitude of the toroidal magnetic field was varied. These results show that it is possible to control the time of formation and the expansion velocity of the magnetically driven jet that characterizes this configuration. In addition, the experiments allowed the introduction of a poloidal magnetic field into the radial wire array with the aim of studying its effect on the dynamics and stability of the plasma jet. The radial foil is introduced as a novel configuration to produce episodic magnetic-tower jets. Magnetic cavities were observed to emerge in timescales of ~ 30 ns, with increasing expansion velocities reaching ~ 300 km/s. The formation of episodic magnetically driven jets occurs due to reconnection of current at the base of the cavity, allowing 3-4 episodes to be produced per experiment. Results allowed the energy balance, the magnitude of the trapped toroidal magnetic field, and the characteristic temperatures in these outflows to be determined, as well as other plasma parameters. This experimental setup allowed the study of the interaction of episodic jets with an ambient medium by introducing a neutral gas above the foil. The dynamics of the formation of several shock structures at early times was studied, opening new possibilities for laboratory astrophysics experiments in the future.
Clinical and metabolic studies on hypopituitarism and growth hormone treament in adults
Creators: name: Beshyah, Salem Arifi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: The aim this work was to investigate clinical and metabolic consequences of hypopituitarism and the effects of growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy in adults. At baseline, early changes of atherosclerosis were detected using ultrasonography of the peripheral arteries, echocardiography, Doppler scanning and exercise electrocardiography. Abnormalities of glucose tolerance and plasma lipids were detected. Obesity, increased total-body and central fat mass and reduced bone mass were found. Forty patients (aged 19-67 years) entered a double blind placebo controlled trial of GH treatment (daily dose; 0.02-0.05 lU/kg body weight) for 6 months followed by open trial for 12 months. In the controlled study, lean body mass increased, body fat decreased and exercise tolerance increased on GH treatment. No changes in muscle strength nor plasma lipids were observed. Post-prandial plasma glucose increased, as did fasting and postprandial insulin levels on GH therapy. GH increased bone turn-over but bone mineral mass did not change. To study the long-term effects of GH therapy, data were pooled from the two phases of the trial. Thirty four, 27 and 11 patients were treated with GH for 6, 12 and 18 months respectively. The earlier effects on body composition and exercise tolerance were maintained. Minor but significant increases were observed in muscle strength in certain groups. Plasma total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased on long-term GH treatment. Fasting and post-prandial plasma glucose and insulin levels increased. The increase in markers of bone turnover was sustained with no change in bone mineral mass over 6-18 months of GH treatment. Side effects were mainly due to fluid retention. In conclusion, hypopituitary patients on conventional therapy have premature cardiovascular disease, increased frequency of cardiovascular risk factors, abnormal body composition and reduced bone mass. GH therapy produced desirable effects on body composition, exercise tolerance, muscle strength and circulating lipids but produced minor hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinaemia.

The use of bispectrum and other higher order statistics in the analysis of one dimensional signals
Creators: name: Williams, Mark Lawrence
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: A huge body of literature has been published on the use of second order statistics in signal processing, mainly through the study of the power spectrum. This is a sensible way to analyse signals since all non-trivial signals possess variance and the second order statistics are simple to calculate. A relatively small amount has been published on the use of higher order statistics and most of this has been produced in the last decade. There are two main reasons for the current surge in interest in the higher order statistics. The first is that the higher order statistics contain information not present in the second order statistics and as a relatively new field there is much to be discovered. The second is that with the availability of powerful computers the effort involved in calculating higher order statistics has been reduced to the level where the rewards justify it. The family of higher order spectra is presented and various problems are examined with reference to the properties of these spectra (more specifically, the second and third-members of the polyspectra family, the bispectrum and trispectrum). The use of the bispectrum is examined to assist the detection of continuous unknown signals in noise. Methods for making full use of the third order statistics of the signal are examined and their potential assessed. In the case of ship noise hidden in ambient sea noise, it was found that although the ship noise possesses significant levels of skewness it is not present at a high enough level to appreciably improve detection. Various aspects of the bispectrum are investigated and complete expressions for the variance and covariance of the bispectral estimate are derived. New tests for stationarity of the sampled and continuous signal are presented. Fault is found with the use of the linear model to simulate samples from non-Gaussian continuous stationary signals. The effects of bandlimiting on the third and fourth order statistics of signals is examined.

description: Future generation of gravitational wave detectors will have the sensitivity to detect gravitational wave events at redshifts far beyond any detectable electromagnetic sources. We show that if the observed event rate is greater than one event per year at redshifts z > 40, then the probability distribution of primordial density fluctuations must be significantly non-Gaussian or the events originate from primordial black holes. The nature of the excess events can be determined from the redshift distribution of the merger rate.

description: We diagram the behavior of 5-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime against horizon formation in the gravitational collapse of a scalar field, treating the scalar field mass and width of initial data as free parameters, which we call the stability phase diagram. We find that the class of stable initial data becomes larger and shifts to smaller widths as the field mass increases. In addition to classifying initial data as stable or unstable, we identify two other classes based on nonperturbative behavior. The class of metastable initial data forms a horizon over longer time scales than suggested by the lowest order perturbation theory at computationally accessible amplitudes, and irregular initial data can exhibit non-monotonic and possibly chaotic behavior in the horizon formation times. Our results include evidence for chaotic behavior even in the collapse of a massless scalar field.

description: We report the fabrication, properties, and bacteria-resistance of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) coatings and free-standing films. Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid), poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), and salt were spin-coated into PEC films. After thermal annealing in a humid environment, highly transparent, mechanically strong, and chemically robust films were formed. Notably, we demonstrate that PEC coatings significantly reduce the attachment of Escherichia coli K12 without killing the microorganisms. We suggest that forming bacteria-resistant surface coatings from commercially available polymers holds the potential for use across a wide range of applications, including high-touch surfaces in medical settings.

description: As a natural flavonoid compound, rutin could scavenge free radicals effectively to achieve remarkable antioxidant and anti-photoaging activity. Unfortunately, the extremely low water solubility of rutin often leads to the poor percutaneous permeability and unsatisfactory bioavailability, which has greatly restricted its clinical application. In this study, a novel freeze-dried rutin nanocrystal was developed to improve its saturation solubility, which was further redispersed in carbopol gel to formulate the targeted rutin nanocrystal gel (NC-gel) for enhanced transdermal delivery efficiency. Benefit from the advantages of NC-gel, the permeated amounts of rutin on mice in the NC-gel group was more than three times enhancement over that of the coarse drug gel group. Furthermore, the results of pharmacodynamic studies in vivo demonstrated that NC-gel could effectively prevent the skin photoaging and tissue damage induced by UV irradiation. Taken together, these results validated that NC-gel was an ideal carrier for the epidermal application of rutin to obtain excellent anti-photoaging effect, which further might provide a valuable platform for improving the transdermal bioavailability of insoluble drugs.

description: Research by its very nature is often on the leading edge of the possible. Thus, keeping pace with these aspirations of the research community is an ongoing challenge for the organisations that host these teams. In this presentation, we will present two case studies that describe solutions that have enabled researchers to increase their speed-to-value, rapidly progressing their projects such that valuable research outputs are visible, shareable and consumable by their colleagues and communities. The first case study is the Australian Satellite Calibration and Validation Data Hub project (AusCalVal). Satellite data is only as useful as its verifiable accuracy. The varied Australian landscape is used to provide the Calibration and Validation (CalVal) products used by the global community. The AusCalVal project aims: to prototype a metadata structure for CalVal products that inform data's verifiable quality, applicable across many semantically different sites and observations and linked to the Open Geospatial Consortium standard; and create a hub where both the data and metadata are available to users and operators in one place for all CalVal Sites in Australia. Eratos is the platform enabling this effort. The second case study is the Reef Adapt project. The Reef Adapt tool allows those wishing to conduct reef regeneration activities to select stock-sampling locations based on current or future climate conditions. Eratos assisted a small research team to operationalise their R-Shiny tool into a standalone web application deployable on AWS and accessible by the public. We will present how these approaches are transferable to other teams.

description: A two-step photoionization strategy of an ultracold rubidium beam for application in a focused ion beam instrument is analyzed and implemented. In this strategy the atomic beam is partly selected with an aperture after which the transmitted atoms are ionized in the overlap of a tightly cylindrically focused excitation laser beam and an ionization laser beam whose power is enhanced in a build-up cavity. The advantage of this strategy, as compared to without the use of a build-up cavity, is that higher ionization degrees can be reached at higher currents. Optical Bloch equations including the photoionization process are used to calculate what ionization degree and ionization position distribution can be reached. Furthermore, the ionization strategy is tested on an ultracold beam of $^{85}$Rb atoms. The beam current is measured as a function of the excitation and ionization laser beam intensity and the selection aperture size. Although details are different, the global trends of the measurements agree well with the calculation. With a selection aperture diameter of 52 $μ$m, a current of $\left(170\pm4\right)$ pA is measured, which according to calculations is 63% of the current equivalent of the transmitted atomic flux. Taking into account the ionization degree the ion beam peak reduced brightness is estimated at $1\times10^7$ A/(m$^2\,$sr$\,$eV).

It presents a new conceptualization of landscapes of rural youth opportunity, where these landscapes reflect an individual’s reading of the complex interplay between economic geography; local history, agrarian relations, institutions and politics; social and cultural norms; family influences; education and experience; aspirations and preferences; and access to resources. The argument is that it is essential to acknowledge the importance of opportunity structures, and avoid anything that suggests that individual characteristics, such as agency, aspirations, skills, entrepreneurial behaviour and “good choices” should be the primary considerations in relation to an “investing in youth” strategy. The paper also presents new empirical analysis of young people’s engagement with the rural economy using LSMS data from six African countries.

description: Additive manufacturing (AM) processes produce parts with improved physical, chemical, and mechanical properties compared to conventional manufacturing processes. In AM processes, intricate part geometries are produced from multicomponent alloy powder, in a layer-by-layer fashion with multipass laser melting, solidification, and solid-state phase transformations, in a shorter manufacturing time, with minimal surface finishing, and at a reasonable cost. However, there is an increasing need for post-processing of the manufactured parts via, for example, stress relieving heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing to achieve homogeneous microstructure and properties at all times. Solidification in an AM process controls the size, shape, and distribution of the grains, the growth morphology, the elemental segregation and precipitation, the subsequent solid-state phase changes, and ultimately the material properties. The critical issues in this process are linked with multiphysics (such as fluid flow and diffusion of heat and mass) and multiscale (lengths, times and temperature ranges) challenges that arise due to localized rapid heating and cooling during AM processing. The alloy chemistry-process-microstructure-property-performance correlation in this process will be increasingly better understood through multiscale modeling and simulation.

Frames of spatial reference in Dhivehi language and cognition

description: This thesis investigates spatial language and cognition in Dhivehi, the language of the Maldives. It finds that different speakers of the same language conceptualise and talk about spatial relationships in very different ways (e.g., by using cardinal directions, by using egocentric terms like 'left' and 'right', and even by using stars in the night sky). This variation is explained partly in terms of different environments (e.g., urban vs. rural communities), but also in terms of how speakers habitually interact with their environment. The findings suggest that environmental interaction mediates the complex relationship between language, culture, and spatial cognition.

description: Strawberry black spot caused by Alternaria is an important foliar disease. In 2016, strawberry leaves with severe black spot lesions were collected from eight districts of Beijing municipality in China. Molecular and morphological criteria were matched to identify the Alternaria species inciting strawberry black spot in Beijing. A total of 102 Alternaria isolates from diseased strawberry leaves were divided into two species: A. tenuissima (61 isolates, 59.8%) and A. alternata (41 isolates, 40.2%). The detached leaves of strawberry showed typical black spot symptoms when inoculated with spore suspensions of isolates of A. tenuissima and A. alternata, with disease incidence ranging from 20.4–100.0% and disease index ranging from 6.0–29.1, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first report of A. tenuissima and A. alternata causing black spot of strawberry in Beijing, China.

A Deep Learning-based Reconstruction of Cosmic Ray-induced Air Showers

description: We describe a method of reconstructing air showers induced by cosmic rays using deep learning techniques. We simulate an observatory consisting of ground-based particle detectors with fixed locations on a regular grid. The detector's responses to traversing shower particles are signal amplitudes as a function of time, which provide information on transverse and longitudinal shower properties. In order to take advantage of convolutional network techniques specialized in local pattern recognition, we convert all information to the image-like grid of the detectors. In this way, multiple features, such as arrival times of the first particles and optimized characterizations of time traces, are processed by the network. The reconstruction quality of the cosmic ray arrival direction turns out to be competitive with an analytic reconstruction algorithm. The reconstructed shower direction, energy and shower depth show the expected improvement in resolution for higher cosmic ray energy.

description: Recent experiments studying the meson-nucleus interaction to extract meson-nucleus potentials are reviewed. The real part of the potentials quantifies whether the interaction is attractive or repulsive while the imaginary part describes the meson absorption in nuclei. The review is focused on mesons which are sufficiently long-lived to potentially form meson-nucleus quasi-bound states. The presentation is confined to meson production off nuclei in photon-, pion-, proton-, and light-ion induced reactions and heavy-ion collisions at energies near the production threshold. Tools to extract the potential parameters are presented. In most cases, the real part of the potential is determined by comparing measured meson momentum distributions or excitation functions with collision model or transport model calculations. The imaginary part is extracted from transparency ratio measurements. Results on $K^+, K^0, K^-, η, η^\prime, ω$, and $ϕ$ mesons are presented and compared with theoretical predictions. The interaction of $K^+$ and $K^0$ mesons with nuclei is found to be weakly repulsive, while the $K^-, η,η^\prime, ω$ and $ϕ$ meson-nucleus potentials are attractive, however, with widely different strengths. Because of meson absorption in the nuclear medium the imaginary parts of the meson-nucleus potentials are all negative, again with a large spread. An outlook on planned experiments in the charm sector is given. In view of the determined potential parameters, the criteria and chances for experimentally observing meson-nucleus quasi-bound states are discussed. The most promising candidates appear to be the $η$ and $η^\prime$ mesons.

Exact localization length for s-polarized electromagnetic waves incident at the critical angle on a randomly-stratified dielectric medium

description: The interplay between Anderson localization and total internal reflection of electromagnetic waves incident near the critical angle on randomly-stratified dielectric media is investigated theoretically. Using an exact analytical formula for the localization length for the Schrödinger equation with a Gaussian $δ$-correlated random potential in one dimension, we show that when the incident angle is equal to the critical angle, the localization length for an incident $s$ wave of wavelength $λ$ is directly proportional to $λ^{4/3}$ throughout the entire range of the wavelength, for any value of the disorder strength. This result is different from that of a recent study reporting that the localization length at the critical incident angle for a binary multilayer system with random thickness variations is proportional to $λ$ in the large $λ$ region. We also discuss the characteristic behaviors of the localization length or the tunneling decay length for all other incident angles. Our results are confirmed by an independent numerical calculation based on the invariant imbedding method.

description: Σκοπός του βιβλίου είναι η κατανόηση από μέρους των φοιτητών του τρόπου παραγωγής πολιτικής σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση, το πρώτο μέρος του βιβλίου (κεφάλαια 1-2), εξετάζει τις κεντρικές έννοιες καθώς και τις κύριες θεωρητικές προσεγγίσεις της παγκόσμιας πολιτικής μέσα από μία σύγχρονη και κριτική ματιά. Με αυτό το υπόβαθρο, το δεύτερο μέρος (κεφάλαια 3-8), εξετάζει και αναλύει όλες τις κατηγορίες δρώντων της παγκόσμιας πολιτικής και τη συνεργιστική αλληλόδρασή τους. Ειδικότερα, εξετάζει το σύγχρονο ρόλο του κράτους, την εξάπλωση των αρμοδιοτήτων του αλλά και των προκλήσεων που αντιμετωπίζει, με μία παράλληλη συζήτηση των δομών περιφερειακής ολοκλήρωσης και παγκόσμιας διακυβέρνησης, καθώς και των μη-κρατικών δρώντων (επιχειρήσεις και ΜΚΟ) που σε πολλές περιπτώσεις συμπράττουν στη διαμόρφωση και λήψη αποφάσεων. Στόχευση του βιβλίου είναι να κατανοήσουν οι φοιτητές τις περίπλοκες διαδικασίες μέσα από τις οποίες οι διαφορετικοί δρώντες διαμορφώνουν την πολιτική στο παγκόσμιο σύστημα. Συνολικά, το προτεινόμενο σύγγραμμα επιδιώκει την απομάκρυνση από απλουστευτικές και μονο-παραγοντικές θεωρήσεις και την κατάδειξη της πολυπλοκότητας των διαδικασιών και των δομών της παγκόσμιας πολιτικής μέσα από την αύξηση των κατηγοριών των διεθνών δρώντων, καθώς και των πολλαπλών οδών μέσω των οποίων αυτοί συν-διαμορφώνουν το παγκόσμιο σκηνικό. Επιχειρεί, στο ίδιο πλαίσιο, να καταδείξει και τη μετάβαση από τη διεθνή στην παγκόσμια πολιτική και να πλαισιώσει τα παραδοσιακά ζητήματα που άπτονται του εθνικού συμφέροντος με την ανάδειξη της ανάγκης παροχής παγκόσμιων δημόσιων αγαθών.
