description: Home retrofitting provides a means to improve the basic energy and comfort characteristics of a building stock, which cannot be renewed because of prohibitive costs. We analyze how model predictive control (MPC) applied to indoor microclimate control can provide energy-efficient solutions to the problem of occupants' comfort in a variety of situations principally imposed by external weather and room occupancy. For this purpose we define an objective function for the energy consumption, and we consider two illustrative cases: one building designed and built in recent times with modern HVAC equipment, and one designed and built several decades ago with poor thermal characteristics and no dedicated ventilation system. Our model includes various physical effects such as air infiltration and indoor thermal "inertia mass" (inner walls, floor, ceiling, and furniture), and also accounts for the impact of human presence essentially as heat and CO$_2$ sources. The influence on the numerical results of forecast horizons and of uncertainties due to inaccuracies in the weather and room occupancy forecasts, are analyzed. As we solve non-convex optimization problems using a linear and a nonlinear optimizer, full MPC performance is compared to both linearized MPC and a standard on/off controller. The main advantage of MPC is its ability to provide satisfactory solutions for microclimate control at the least possible energy cost for both modern and old buildings. As old buildings are usually not properly ventilated, we see in light of our simulation results, that a supply ventilation system installation provides a solution for significant air quality improvement.
The growth and characterisation of metallic nanoparticles
Creators: name: Brooke, Emily
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis, a high vacuum modified magnetron sputtering system has been used to create very clean nanoparticles of silver, gold and nickel. These nanomaterials all have a diverse range of applications, and their usefulness in these applications is dependent upon their unique properties associated with their size and shape. The properties of nanoparticles can degrade and become essentially useless, by coalescence processes and via interaction with environmental contaminants, in particular oxygen. In this thesis, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques have been utilised to explore the properties of these nanoparticles, which are extremely clean compared to nanoparticles fabricated through many other techniques. Having cleaner samples means that TEM studies of the particles are more representative of the metals themselves, rather than any organic additives or other by products of synthesis. It also provides opportunities to study how these nanomaterials degrade, both naturally over time, or by forcing oxidation or coalescence using a TEM beam. In this thesis, conclusions have been made about how these forced processes compare with natural ageing of the materials. In particular, it was found that silver coalescence is dominated by morphological considerations, and proceeds by a ‘collapsing’ of morphologies from icosahedral to decahedral to tetragonal. Enhanced stability was observed for decahedral shapes, together with a resistance to coalescence and Ostwald Ripening processes. The coalescence of silver was compared to the coalescence of gold and both these processes were used to attempt to understand the wetting of silver on gold nanoparticles. The current understanding of this recently observed phenomenon has been furthered, giving consideration to the importance of facets and morphology in this process. In addition to coalescence of gold and silver nanoparticles, nickel nanocubes have been created in the mag- netron system, which is a novel route to their synthesis, and their oxidation has been studied during in-situ TEM experiments. The preferential oxidation of {111} facets over {100} facets has been observed and have therefore it has been concluded that different morphologies of nickel nanoparticles will oxidise differently. Since shape control is highly important in many applications of magnetic nanoparticles, and oxidation is the most important degradation route, this result is of great significance.

Random forest training on reconfigurable hardware
Creators: name: Cheng, Chuan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Random Forest (RF) is one of the most widely used supervised learning methods available. An RF is ensemble of decision tree classifiers with injection of several sources of randomness. It demonstrates a set of improvement over single decision and regression trees and is comparable or superior to major classification tools such as support vector machine (SVM) and adaptive boosting (Adaboost) with respect to accuracy, interpretability, robustness and processing speed. RF can be generally divided into training process and predicting process. Recently with emergence of large-scale data mining applications, the RF training process implemented in software on a single computer can no longer induce a complex RF model within reasonable amount of time. Alternative solutions involving computer clusters and GPUs usually come with disadvantages with respect to Performance/Power ratio and are not feasible for portable/embedded applications. In this work a set of FPGA-based implementations of the RF training process are proposed. FPGA devices allow construction of efficient custom hardware architectures and feature lower power consumption than typical GPPs or GPUs therefore are suitable for portable/embedded applications. The proposed hardware training architectures take advantage of different types of inherent parallelism in the RF training algorithm and distribute the workload to a set of parallel workers. Combining the parallel processing techniques with custom hardware designs featuring low latency, the architectures are able to accelerate the training process without loss in accuracy.

description: We demonstrate that the striking systematics of two-particle azimuthal Fourier harmonics $v_2$ and $v_3$ in ultrarelativistic collisions of protons, deuterons and helium-3 ions off gold nuclei measured by the PHENIX Collaboration [arXiv:1805.02973] at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is reproduced in the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) effective field theory. This contradicts the claim in [arXiv:1805.02973] that their data rules out initial state based explanations. The underlying systematics of the effect, as discussed previously in [arXiv:1705.00745,arXiv:1706.06260,arXiv:1801.09704], arise from the differing structure of strong color correlations between gluon domains of size $1/Q_S$ at fine ($p_\perp \gtrapprox Q_S$) or coarser ($p_\perp \lessapprox Q_S$) transverse momentum resolution. Further tests of the limits of validity of this framework can be carried out in light-heavy ion collisions at both RHIC and the Large Hadron Collider. Such measurements also offer novel opportunities for further exploration of the role of the surprisingly large short-range nuclear correlations measured at Jefferson Lab.

Ion channelling and electronic excitations in silicon
Creators: name: Lim, Anthony Craig
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: When a high-energy (MeV) atom or neutron collides with an atom in a solid, a region of radiation damage is formed. The intruding atom may cause a large number of atoms to leave their lattice sites with low energies (keV) in a collision cascade. Alternatively, it may cause a single lattice atom to be removed from its crystal lattice site and travel large distances without undergoing any further atomic collisions/scatterings in a process known as channelling. Any moving atom may lose energy via collisions with other atoms or by the excitation of electrons. The microstructural evolution of the irradiated material depends on the rate at which the damaged region cools, which in turn depends on the rate at which electrons are excited and carry energy away. Since silicon is a semiconductor with a band gap of 1.1 eV, it is normally assumed that the rate of excitation of electrons by atoms with low kinetic energies (< 100 eV) is negligible. However, the atomic kinetic energy threshold required for electronic excitation is not understood. This thesis uses large-scale quantum mechanical simulations to investigate how a moving atom loses energy to the electrons in a crystal of silicon. It is possible to calculate the energy transfer from a channelling atom to the host material’s electrons using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and we have done so. However, these highly accurate calculations are computationally expensive and cannot be used to study very large systems. Hence, we also use a less accurate method called time-dependent tight binding (TDTB). We show that TDTB and TDDFT simulations of channelling in small silicon systems are in good qualitative agreement and use the cheaper TDTB method to investigate finite-size effects. We also investigate how an atom oscillating around its lattice site transfers energy to the crystal’s electrons. To understand the complex behaviour of the electronic energy transfer, we utilise non-adiabatic perturbation theory. Our simulations and the perturbative analysis both show that the presence of a gap state with a time-dependent energy eigenvalue allows electronic excitations for very low energy (eV) channelling atoms.

description: The $A$-dependence of the bond energy $ΔB_{ΛΛ}$ of the ${ΛΛ}$ hypernuclear ground states is calculated in a three-body ${Λ+ Λ+ {^{A}Z}}$ model and in the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach. Various ${ΛΛ}$ and $Λ$-nucleus or ${ΛN}$ potentials are used and the sensitivity of $ΔB_{ΛΛ}$ to the interactions is discussed. It is shown that in medium and heavy ${ΛΛ}$ hypernuclei, $ΔB_{ΛΛ}$ is a linear function of $r_Λ^{-3}$, where $r_Λ$ is rms radius of the hyperon orbital. It looks unlikely that it will be possible to extract ${ΛΛ}$ interaction from the double-$Λ$ hypernuclear energies only, the additional information about the $Λ$-core interaction, in particular, on $r_Λ$ is needed.

description: We have calculated synchrotron spectra of relativistic blast waves, and find predicted characteristic frequencies that are more than an order of magnitude different from previous calculations. For the case of an adiabatically expanding blast wave, which is applicable to observed gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows at late times, we give expressions to infer the physical properties of the afterglow from the measured spectral features. We show that enough data exist for GRB970508 to compute unambiguously the ambient density, n=0.03/cm**3, and the blast wave energy per unit solid angle, E=3E52 erg/4pi sr. We also compute the energy density in electrons and magnetic field. We find that they are 12% and 9%, respectively, of the nucleon energy density and thus confirm for the first time that both are close to but below equipartition. For GRB971214, we discuss the break found in its spectrum by Ramaprakash et al. (1998). It can be interpreted either as the peak frequency or as the cooling frequency; both interpretations have some problems, but on balance the break is more likely to be the cooling frequency. Even when we assume this, our ignorance of the self-absorption frequency and presence or absence of beaming make it impossible to constrain the physical parameters of GRB971214 very well.

The parameters of the matrix are fixed by a best fit to the experimental density distribution and to the correlated nucleon momentum distribution. The method allows the natural orbitals, the occupation probabilities and the depletion of the Fermi sea to be obtained. Ground-state characteristics of $^{4}He$, $^{16}O$ and $^{40}Ca$ nuclei, such as rms radii and mean kinetic energies are calculated, as well.

description: The Rapid Evidence Review synthesises evidence available in academic publications from 2020 with the aim of charting how social research methods have been successfully adapted for, or designed for use within, the pandemic conditions of Covid-19. Searching six databases identified a potential 896 papers of interest, of which 95 met the inclusion criteria. These span more than 30 countries and discuss various methods, particularly surveys and rapid surveys, interviews, group interviews and focus groups, autoethnographic and ethnographic methods, and expressive and participatory methods. Key methods learning from 64 publications were synthesised to address the main aim. While some (largely expressive and autoethnographic) methods apparently thrived or were well-suited to the social conditions of widespread social anxiety, lockdowns and travel bans, others (e.g. surveys, ethnographies) had to be swiftly and sometimes radically adapted. Data on the efficacy of changes to methods practices were limited at this early stage in publishing from the pandemic era. Some of the adaptations to survey work (e.g. using targeted advertising and options for postal modes to achieve balanced survey samples and stable recruitment numbers) were successful, while isolating mode effects from other variables is largely still a work in progress. Moving interview and focus groups online were largely found to generate rich data, and getting support from community leaders/communities was found to be critical for continuing community-based participatory research. The research community has been resilient in ensuring that their research continues, and that it remains valid, relevant and ethical in the face of extreme challenges and huge social change. The review identifies training needs in specific methods, advanced contingency planning and responsive ethical and epistemic decision-making. This report is intended for researchers at all career stages, research funders and supporting infrastructures.
Correlation function of high-threshold regions and application to the initial small-scale clustering of primordial black holes

description: Primordial black holes (PBHs) have been brought back into the spotlight by LIGO's first direct detection of a binary-black-hole merger. One of the poorly understood properties of PBHs is how clustered they are at formation. It has important implications on the efficacy of their merging in the early Universe, as well as on observational constraints. In this work we study the initial clustering of PBHs formed from the gravitational collapse of large density fluctuations in the early Universe. We give a simple and general argument showing that, in this scenario, we do not expect clustering on very small scales beyond what is expected from a random, Poisson distribution. We illustrate this result explicitly in the case where the underlying density field is Gaussian. We moreover derive a new analytic expression for the two-point correlation function of large-threshold fluctuations, generalizing previous results to arbitrary separation, and with broader implications than the clustering of PBHs.

description: I Zw 18 is the most metal poor star-forming galaxy known and is an ideal laboratory to probe stellar evolution theory at low metallicities. Using archival HST WFPC2 imaging and FOS spectroscopy we were able to improve previous studies. We constructed a continuum free HeII map, which was used to identify Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars recently found by ground-based spectroscopy and to locate diffuse nebular emission. Most of the HeII emission is associated with the NW stellar cluster, clearly displaced from the surrounding shell-like [OIII] and Halpha emission. We found evidence for HeII sources, compatible with 5--9 WNL stars and/or compact nebular HeII emission, as well as residual diffuse emission. Only one of them is outside the NW cluster. We have calculated evolutionary tracks for massive stars and synthesis models at the appropriate metallicity (Z ~ 0.02 Zsun). These single star models predict a mass limit M_WR ~ 90 Msun for WR stars to become WN and WC/WO. For an instantaneous burst model with a Salpeter IMF extending up to M_up ~ 120-150 Msun our model predictions are in reasonable agreement with the observed equivalent widths. Our model is also able to fully reproduce the observed equivalent widths of nebular HeII emission due to the presence of WC/WO stars. This quantitative agreement and the spatial correlation of nebular HeII with the stellar cluster and the position of WR stars shown from the ground-based spectra further supports the hypothesis that WR stars are responsible for nebular HeII emission in extra-galactic HII regions.

Autotitrating non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with hypercapnic ventilatory failure
Creators: name: Kelly, Julia Louise
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an evidenced based treatment of alveolar hypoventilation in patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure (HRF). Volume assured pressure support (VAPS) is a new mode of NIV that aims to maintain alveolar ventilation (VA) by autotitration of the pressure support (PS) delivered to a patient in response to changes in respiratory physiology. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the use of VAPS ventilation in patients with chronic HRF during wakefulness and sleep, specifically in the detection and treatment of acute exacerbations. Specific aims were to: a) determine if VA was maintained during VAPS ventilation in patients, with obstructive and restrictive pathologies, specifically during during exacerbations, and sleep (Chapters 3 and 4). b) determine the mechanism(s) of presumed maintenance of VA (Chapters 3 and 4). c) determine whether changes in the ventilator-measured respiratory parameters can be used to identify or predict exacerbations (Chapter 3). d) determine if VAPS can be used clinically to treat ventilatory failure as effectively as standard PS NIV in acute hypercapnic exacerbations of chronic respiratory disease, and in patients naive to NIV therapy (Chapters 5 and 6). I have concluded that VAPS ventilation provides an alternative ventilatory mode to standard PS ventilation, and can effectively maintain VA during sleep, and during exacerbations, when lung characteristics are changing. The mechanism of VA maintenance is likely to be the integration of complex patient-ventilator interactions, with large variability between patients, independent of diagnosis. Further studies of patient-ventilator interaction and its impact on the target ventilation may be aided by measuring respiratory drive or diaphragm work. Changes in ventilator-measured parameters were not predictive of impending exacerbation. Clustering may help to understand the physiological characteristics of exacerbations and individual ventilatory responses, and also to determine whether an autotitrating iVAPS improves outcomes of exacerbations, including survival.

Trading strategies in futures markets
Creators: name: Grant, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate trading strategies based on futures contracts. The first chapter demonstrates and analyzes the exceptional performance of both carry and momentum strategies in future markets across asset classes (commodities, bonds, equities, and currencies). Individual carry and momentum returns have low correlation, generating a significant diversification benefit in the combined portfolio and a Sharpe ratio of 1.4. Individually and combined, carry and momentum strategies have significant returns not explained by the CAPM or risk factor models. However, carry returns disappear after adjusting for lagged macroeconomic variables, suggesting performance is related to business cycle risk. Expected momentum returns are only weakly related to macroeconomic variables, but co-vary significantly with hedge fund capital flow - indicating returns are related to limits to arbitrage constraints of hedge funds. The second chapter establishes the economic significance of carry and momentum trading signals. We use a model incorporating a time varying investment opportunity set into a parametric portfolio framework and derive optimal portfolio parameters. Without any ex-ante imposed relation, in-sample portfolio parameters are found to be consistent with the results of the first chapter. Furthermore, out-of-sample returns are found to be highly significant, robust to transaction costs and not compensation for traditional risk exposure, time-varying risk due to macroeconomic cycles, or funding liquidity. Out-of-sample returns are significantly related to pro-cyclical hedge fund capital flows, suggesting expected returns decrease with speculative capital. The third chapter applies our parametric portfolio framework to assess the economic significance of predictors important in commodity markets since 2001. The studied predictors are widened to include hedging pressure and three market wide predictors found in the literature to forecast returns. In contrast to our results for the whole futures market, we find little evidence for economically significant commodity strategy returns for either individual or combined predictors.

description: This work considers a line-of-sight underwater acoustic sensor network (UWASN) consisting of $M$ underwater sensor nodes randomly deployed according to uniform distribution within a vertical half-disc (the so-called trusted zone). The sensor nodes report their sensed data to a sink node on water surface on a shared underwater acoustic (UWA) reporting channel in a time-division multiple-access (TDMA) fashion, while an active-yet-invisible adversary (so-called Eve) is present in the close vicinity who aims to inject malicious data into the system by impersonating some Alice node. To this end, this work first considers an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) UWA channel, and proposes a novel, multiple-features based, two-step method at the sink node to thwart the potential impersonation attack by Eve. Specifically, the sink node exploits the noisy estimates of the distance, the angle of arrival, and the location of the transmit node as device fingerprints to carry out a number of binary hypothesis tests (for impersonation detection) as well as a number of maximum likelihood hypothesis tests (for transmitter identification when no impersonation is detected). We provide closed-form expressions for the error probabilities (i.e., the performance) of most of the hypothesis tests. We then consider the case of a UWA with colored noise and frequency-dependent pathloss, and derive a maximum-likelihood (ML) distance estimator as well as the corresponding Cramer-Rao bound (CRB). We then invoke the proposed two-step, impersonation detection framework by utilizing distance as the sole feature. Finally, we provide detailed simulation results for both AWGN UWA channel and the UWA channel with colored noise. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme is indeed effective for a UWA channel with colored noise and frequency-dependent pathloss.

Three-dimensional anisotropic full-waveform inversion
Creators: name: Debens, Henry Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a powerful nonlinear tool for quantitative estimation of high-resolution high-fidelity models of subsurface seismic parameters, typically P-wave velocity. A solution is obtained via a series of iterative local linearised updates to a start model, requiring this model to lie within the basin of attraction of the solution space’s global minimum. The consideration of seismic anisotropy during FWI is vital, as it holds influence over both the kinematics and dynamics of seismic waveforms. If not appropriately taken into account, then inadequacies in the anisotropy model are likely to manifest as significant error in the recovered velocity model. Conventionally, anisotropic FWI either employs an a priori anisotropy model, held fixed during FWI, or uses a local inversion scheme to recover anisotropy as part of FWI; both of these methods can be problematic. Constructing an anisotropy model prior to FWI often involves intensive (and hence expensive) iterative procedures. On the other hand, introducing multiple parameters to FWI itself increases the complexity of what is already an underdetermined problem. As an alternative I propose here a novel approach referred to as combined FWI. This uses a global inversion for long-wavelength acoustic anisotropy, involving no start model, while simultaneously updating P-wave velocity using mono-parameter local FWI. Combined FWI is then followed by multi-parameter local FWI to recover the detailed final model. To validate the combined FWI scheme, I evaluate its performance with several 2D synthetic datasets, and apply it to a full 3D field dataset. The synthetic results establish the combined FWI, as part of a two-stage workflow, as more accurate than an equivalent conventional workflow. The solution obtained from the field data reconciles well with in situ borehole measurements. Although combined FWI includes a global inversion, I demonstrate that it is nonetheless affordable and commercially practical for 3D field data.
Correlated $ππ$ and $K\bar K$ exchange in the baryon-baryon interaction

description: A dynamical model for correlated two-pion and two-kaon exchange in the baryon- baryon interaction is presented, both in the scalar-isoscalar ($σ$) and the vector-isovector ($ρ$) channel. The correlations between the two pseudoscalar mesons are taken into account by means of $ππ- K\bar K$ amplitudes derived from a meson-exchange model, which is in line with the empirical $ππ$ data. It is found that correlated $K\bar K$ exchange plays an important role in the $σ$-channel for baryon-baryon states with non- vanishing strangeness. The strength of correlated $ππ$ plus $K\bar K$ exchange in the $σ$-channel decreases with the strangeness of the baryon- baryon system becoming more negative. The results for correlated $ππ$- exchange in the vector-isovector channel deviate from what is expected in the naive SU(3) picture for genuine $ρ$-exchange. Shortcomings of a simplified description in terms of sharp mass $σ$- and $ρ$-exchange are pointed out.

Searching for beyond the Standard Model physics using direct and indirect methods at LHCb
Creators: name: Hall, Samuel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: It is known that the Standard Model of particle physics is incomplete in its description of nature at a fundamental level. For example, the Standard Model can neither incorporate dark matter nor explain the matter dominated nature of the Universe. This thesis presents three analyses undertaken using data collected by the LHCb detector. Each analysis searches for indications of physics beyond the Standard Model in different decays of $B$ mesons, using different techniques. Notably, two analyses look for indications of new physics using indirect methods, and one uses a direct approach. The first analysis shows evidence for the rare decay $\B^+\!\rightarrow D_s^+\phi$ with greater than $3\,\sigma$ significance; this also constitutes the first evidence for a fully-hadronic annihilation-type decay of a $B^+$ meson. A measurement of the branching fraction of the decay $\B^+\!\rightarrow D_s^+\phi$ is seen to be higher than, but still compatible with, Standard Model predictions. The $C\!P$-asymmetry of the decay is also measured, and its value is precisely in line with the Standard Model expectations. The second analysis claims the first observations of the decays %$B^+\!\rightarrow K^+\pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ and $\B^+\!\rightarrow\phi K^+\mu^+\mu^-$ \btokpipimumu and $\B^+\!\rightarrow\phi K^+\mu^+\mu^-$ which are both flavour changing neutral currents, forbidden at leading order in the Standard Model. Branching fractions of both these decays are measured, and for the high statistics channel $B^+\!\rightarrow K^+\pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ the differential branching fraction, as a function of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system, is also presented. These first two analyses both constitute indirect searches for physics beyond the scope of the Standard Model, where the observables are sensitive to contributions from new physics entering at loop-level. In contrast, the third analysis presented in this thesis involves the direct search for a new dark boson, $\chi$, which is a messenger particle between a dark sector and the Standard Model particles. Using a frequentist technique, the dimuon component of candidates consistent with the decay $B^{0}\!\rightarrow K^*(892)^0\mu^+\mu^-$ is searched for an excess indicative of $\chi\!\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$.
