Pyrolysis as a circular economy solution for carbon-efficient value recovery from municipal solid waste
Creators: name: Asingsamanunt, Jarudej
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Current technologies for the management of municipal solid waste (MSW) are unsustainable, especially with escalating environmental concerns and resource depletion. The priority is to find sustainable and efficient methods to recover resources from waste. This research aims to investigate the potential of pyrolysis for value recovery from MSW. The study specifically focuses on the pyrolysis of solid recovered fuel (SRF), a more homogeneous form of MSW prepared by extracting recyclable materials, shredding, and mixing. The methodology involved SRF characterisation, a series of laboratory-scale pyrolysis experiments and product analysis. These experiments investigated the relationship between SRF composition and the pyrolysis product. Thermal and microwave pyrolysis were investigated. Microwave pyrolysis demonstrated that it could overcome some limitations of thermal pyrolysis, by providing faster heat transfer and limiting secondary reactions. Key findings include that the plastic component of SRF improves the recovery potential of pyrolysis products, with the pyrolysis gas containing significant amounts of C2-C4 hydrocarbons, providing substantial energy content. The wax formation in the oil occurred under low heating rate pyrolysis and was found to contain BTEX and styrene, indicating enhanced potential for chemical recovery. The presence of inorganic elements in SRF, however, disrupted the pyrolysis process, reducing the value recovery potential. The laboratory data were analysed within a circular economy framework, demonstrated that the multi-conversion of SRF components into pyrolysis products facilitates their downstream utilisation in value recovery, enhancing closed-loop resource management. Insights obtained from experiments were compiled into the fate of elements and compounds, summarising important reaction pathways during SRF pyrolysis. This research confirmed that pyrolysis is a viable technology for the enhanced recovery of resources from SRF. The study highlighted the importance of optimising pyrolysis conditions and addressing the challenges posed by inorganic materials to maximise the recovery potential in waste management and thus achieving circular economy aspiration.

description: In this paper we present the first high-resolution laser spectroscopy results obtained at the GISELE laser laboratory of the GANIL-SPIRAL2 facility, in preparation for the first experiments with the S$^3$-Low Energy Branch. Studies of neutron-deficient radioactive isotopes of erbium and tin represent the first physics cases to be studied at S$^3$. The measured isotope-shift and hyperfine structure data are presented for stable isotopes of these elements. The erbium isotopes were studied using the $4f^{12}6s^2$ $^3H_6 \rightarrow 4f^{12}(^3 H)6s6p$ $J = 5$ atomic transition (415 nm) and the tin isotopes were studied by the $5s^25p^2 (^3P_0) \rightarrow 5s^25p6s (^3P_1)$ atomic transition (286.4 nm), and are used as a benchmark of the laser setup. Additionally, the tin isotopes were studied by the $5s^25p6s (^3P_1) \rightarrow 5s^25p6p (^3P_2)$ atomic transition (811.6 nm), for which new isotope-shift data was obtained and the corresponding field-shift $F_{812}$ and mass-shift $M_{812}$ factors are presented.

description: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal, non-malignant, hematological disorder characterized by the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells and progeny mature blood cells which are deficient in some surface proteins, including the two complement regulators CD55 and CD59. PNH is the paradigm of diseases implying complement dysregulation as main pathogenic mechanism; in fact, PNH erythrocytes are uncapable to modulate on their surface physiologic complement activation, which eventually leads to the typical clinical hallmark of PNH – the chronic complement-mediated intravascular anemia. Indeed, due to the lack of CD55 complement is continuously activated on erythrocyte surface, which subsequently enables the terminal lytic complement because of the lack of CD59, finally resulting in erythrocyte lysis. The availability of eculizumab as the first complement inhibitor for clinical use renewed the interest for this rare hematological disease. Indeed, in the last decad the anti-C5 monoclonal antibody has proven effective for the treatment of PNH, resulting in a sustained control of complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis, with a remarkable clinical benefit. Anti-complement treatment allowed transfusion independence in at least half of PNH patients receiving eculizumab, with adequate control of all hemolysis-associated symptoms even in almost all remaining patients. In addition, the risk of thromboembolic events – an other clinical hallmark of PNH, which significantly affects prognosis and survival – seems substantially reduced on eculizumab treatment, apparently resulting in improved survival. Even with all these remarkable effects, eculizumab treatment does not result in hemoglobin normalization, and most patients remain anemic. It has been demonstrated that this is due to persistent activation of the early phases of complement activation (upstream the C5), leading to complement-mediated extravascular hemolysis. Ongoing researches are focusing on possible strategies to improve current anti-complement therapies, aiming to develop second-generation complement therapeutics. Here we review PNH and its complement-mediated pathophysiology, summarizing available data on anti-complement treatment; we’ll also discuss recent pathogenic insights which drive the development of novel strategies of complement inhibition.

description: Jeffries & Binks (2014) and Malo et al. (2014) have recently reported Li depletion boundary (LDB) ages for the β Pictoris moving group (BPMG) which are twice as old as the oft-cited kinematic age of $\sim$12 Myr. In this study we present (1) a new evaluation of the internal kinematics of the BPMG using the revised Hipparcos astrometry and best available published radial velocities, and assess whether a useful kinematic age can be derived, and (2) derive an isochronal age based on the placement of the A-, F- and G-type stars in the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD). We explore the kinematics of the BPMG looking at velocity trends along Galactic axes, and conducting traceback analyses assuming linear trajectories, epicyclic orbit approximation, and orbit integration using a realistic gravitational potential. None of the methodologies yield a kinematic age with small uncertainties using modern velocity data. Expansion in the Galactic X and Y directions is significant only at the 1.7σ and 2.7σ levels, and together yields an overall kinematic age with a wide range (13-58 Myr; 95 per cent CL). The A-type members are all on the zero age-main-sequence, suggestive of an age of $>$20Myr, and the loci of the CMD positions for the late-F- and G-type pre-main-sequence BPMG members have a median isochronal age of 22 Myr ($\pm$ 3 Myr stat., $\pm$ 1 Myr sys.) when considering four sets of modern theoretical isochrones. The results from recent LDB and isochronal age analyses are now in agreement with a median BPMG age of 23 $\pm$ 3 Myr (overall 1σ uncertainty, including $\pm$2 Myr statistical and $\pm$2 Myr systematic uncertainties).

description: In this paper, we develop a thermodynamically consistent description of the uniaxial behaviour of thermoelastoplastic materials that are characterized by a constitutive law of the form  σ(x,t)＝ 풫[εθ(x,t)](x,t), where ε, σ, θ denote the fields of strain, stress and absolute temperature, respectively, and where {풫[·, θ]}θ>0 denotes a family of(rate-independent) hysteresis operators of Prandtl-Ishlinskii type, parametrized by the absolute temperature. The system of state equations governing the space-time evolution of the material are derived. It turns out that the resulting system of two nonlinearly coupled partial differential equations involves partial derivatives of hysteretic nonlinearities at different places. It is shown that an initial-boundary value problem for this system admits a global weak solution. The paper can be regarded as a first step towards a thermodynamic theory of rate-independent hysteresis operators depending on temperature.

description: We use entropy to characterize intrinsic ageing properties of the human brain. Analysis of fMRI data from a large dataset of individuals, using resting state BOLD signals, demonstrated that a functional entropy associated with brain activity increases with age. During an average lifespan, the entropy, which was calculated from a population of individuals, increased by approximately 0.1 bits, due to correlations in BOLD activity becoming more widely distributed. We attribute this to the number of excitatory neurons and the excitatory conductance decreasing with age. Incorporating these properties into a computational model leads to quantitatively similar results to the fMRI data. Our dataset involved males and females and we found significant differences between them. The entropy of males at birth was lower than that of females. However, the entropies of the two sexes increase at different rates, and intersect at approximately 50 years; after this age, males have a larger entropy.

description: We demonstrate a numerical technique that can evaluate the core-to-core variations in propagation constant in multicore fibre. Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo process, we replicate the interference patterns of light that has coupled between the cores during propagation. We describe the algorithm and verify its operation by successfully reconstructing target propagation constants in a fictional fibre. Then we carry out a reconstruction of the propagation constants in a real fibre containing 37 single-mode cores. We find that the range of fractional propagation constant variation across the cores is approximately $\pm2 \times 10^{-5}$.

Bacterial cellulose enhanced optically transparent composites for impact protection
Creators: name: Wloch, Daniela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Bacterial cellulose (BC) nanopaper exhibits both high strength and stiffness and is widely regarded as a promising reinforcing material for polymer matrix composites. This thesis reports the mercerisation of BC nanofibrils as a route to produce ductile BC nanopaper, and the impregnation of (mercerised) BC nanopaper with an acrylated urethane resin, followed by lamination with sheets of impact-modified acrylic producing optically transparent BC nanopaper reinforced acrylic composites. At a BC loading of 8 wt.-%, the mercerised BC nanopaper acrylic composite possessed an increase in flatwise and edgewise Charpy impact strength of 62% and 22% respectively over “gold-standard” monolithic acrylic. This thesis further investigates the reinforcing capabilities of ultra-low grammage BC nanopaper in multi-layered BC/acrylic composites. Ultra-low grammage BC nanopaper is laminated with several acrylic sheets, to create composites reinforced with one, three and five layers of BC nanopaper. In Charpy impact testing, the impact strength of the optically transparent BC nanopaper reinforced acrylic composites was increased by up to 130% compared to the monolithic acrylic at a cellulose loading fraction of only 1.6 wt.-%. In this thesis the viscoelastic properties of the (mercerised) BC nanopaper and BC nanopaper reinforced poly(acrylated urethane) composite films are further evaluated as they pose an important design factor for laminated structures designated for impact protection. The reinforcing capabilities of (mercerised) BC nanopaper were further studied under falling weight impact testing of optically transparent polycarbonate laminated composites reinforced with BC nanopaper. It was shown that at the same loading fraction of BC, 4 wt.-%, the composite reinforced with mercerised BC nanopaper was able to absorb more of the impact energy compared to the composite reinforced with neat BC nanopaper while both composites outperform the monolithic PC. This thesis demonstrates the potential of BC nanopaper as reinforcement for optically transparent laminated composites.

description: When beginners learn to speak a non-native language, it is difficult for them to judge for themselves whether they are speaking well. Therefore, computer-assisted pronunciation training systems are used to detect learner mispronunciations. These systems typically compare the user's speech with that of a specific native speaker as a model in units of rhythm, phonemes, or words and calculate the differences. However, they require extensive speech data with detailed annotations or can only compare with one specific native speaker. To overcome these problems, we propose a new language learning support system that calculates speech scores and detects mispronunciations by beginners based on a small amount of unannotated speech data without comparison to a specific person. The proposed system uses deep learning--based speech processing to display the pronunciation score of the learner's speech and the difference/distance between the learner's and a group of models' pronunciation in an intuitively visual manner. Learners can gradually improve their pronunciation by eliminating differences and shortening the distance from the model until they become sufficiently proficient. Furthermore, since the pronunciation score and difference/distance are not calculated compared to specific sentences of a particular model, users are free to study the sentences they wish to study. We also built an application to help non-native speakers learn English and confirmed that it can improve users' speech intelligibility.

description: We present optical UBVRI photometry and medium resolution spectroscopy of the type Ib supernova iPTF13bvn, spanning a phase of $\sim$ $-13\,$d to $+71\,$d with respect to $B$-band maximum. The post maximum decline rates indicate a fast decline with $Δm_{15}(B) = 1.82$. Correcting for a galactic extinction $E(B-V){\rm_{MW}}=0.045$ and host galaxy extinction of $E(B-V){\rm_{host}}=0.17$, the absolute $V$-band magnitude peaks at M$_V=-17.23\, \pm \,0.20$. The bolometric light curve indicates that $\sim 0.09$ M$_{\odot}$ of $^{56}$Ni was synthesized in the explosion. The earliest spectrum ($-13$d) shows the presence of He~{\sc i} 5876 Å feature at a velocity of $\sim$15000 km s$^{-1}$, which falls rapidly by the time the SN approaches the epoch of B-band maximum. The photospheric velocity near maximum light, as indicated by the Fe~{\sc ii} 5169~Å feature, is $\sim 9000$ km s$^{-1}$. The estimate for the $^{56}$Ni mass, together with the estimates for the ejected mass ($M_{\rm{ej}}$) and kinetic energy of the explosion ($E_{\rm{k}}$) indicate that iPTF13bvn is a low luminosity type Ib supernova, with a lower than average ejected mass and kinetic energy. Our results suggest that the progenitor of iPTF13bvn is inconsistent with a single Wolf-Rayet star.

description: We study incompressible systems of motile particles with alignment interactions. Unlike their compressible counterparts, in which the order-disorder (i.e., moving to static) transition, tuned by either noise or number density, is discontinuous, in incompressible systems this transition can be continuous, and belongs to a new universality class. We calculate the critical exponents to $O(ε)$in an $ε=4-d$ expansion, and derive two exact scaling relations. This is the first analytic treatment of a phase transition in a new universality class in an active system.

description: In this paper, we review deformation, cohomology and homotopy theories of relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras, which have attracted quite much interest recently. Using Voronov's higher derived brackets, one can obtain an $L_\infty$-algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras. Then using the twisting method, one can obtain the $L_\infty$-algebra that controls deformations of a relative \RB Lie algebra. Meanwhile, the cohomologies of relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras can also be defined with the help of the twisted $L_\infty$-algebra. Using the controlling algebra approach, one can also introduce the notion of homotopy relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras with close connection to pre-Lie$_\infty$-algebras. Finally, we briefly review deformation, cohomology and homotopy theories of relative Rota-Baxter Lie algebras of nonzero weights.

Peter Ackroyd's Chatterton as a Historiographic Metafiction
Creators: name: İREN, Ayşe
name: OKUROĞLU ÖZÜN, Şule
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This study examines Peter Ackroyd's novel Chatterton through the lens of historiographic metafiction, a genre that intertwines historical discourse with self-reflexive fictional elements. Ackroyd's work challenges traditional notions of history and fiction by blurring their boundaries and emphasizing the constructed nature of historical narratives. Through an analysis informed by Linda Hutcheon's framework, which highlights the fusion of historical events with fictional techniques such as parody and intertextuality, Chatterton emerges as a provocative exploration of representation and reality. The novel problematizes the authenticity of historical accounts surrounding the poet Thomas Chatterton, offering multiple, conflicting narratives of his life and death. These alternative histories not only question the reliability of official records but also underscore the subjective nature of historical knowledge. Moreover, Ackroyd employs paratextual elements such as illustrations, epigraphs, and self-referential poems to subvert conventional historiographical practices. By doing so, Chatterton invites readers to reconsider how history is constructed and interpreted, ultimately illustrating the complex interplay between fact and fiction in the portrayal of historical reality.

description: Key technologies in energy conversion and storage, sensing and chemical synthesis rely on a detailed knowledge about charge transfer processes at electrified solid-liquid interfaces. However, these interfaces continuously evolve as a function of applied potentials, ionic concentrations and time. We therefore need to characterize chemical composition, atomic arrangement and electronic structure of both the liquid and the solid side of the interface under operating conditions. In this chapter, we discuss the state-of-the-art X-ray based spectroscopy and diffraction approaches for such 'operando' characterization. We highlight recent examples from literature and demonstrate how X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and surface X-ray diffraction can reveal the required interface-sensitive information.

description: More than 100 rotating radio transients (RRATs) have been discovered since 2006. However, it is unclear whether RRATs radiate in the nulling states. PSR J0628+0909 has been classified as an RRAT. In this paper, we study the single pulses and integrated pulse profile of PSR J0628+0909 to check whether we can detect pulsed radio emission in the nulling states. We also aim to study the polarization of the RRAT and its relationship to the general pulsar population. We used the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) to observe PSR J0628+0909 in the frequency range from 1.0 to 1.5 GHz. We searched for strong single pulses and looked for pulsed emission in the RRAT nulling states. Polarisation profiles, the single-pulse energy distribution, and waiting-time statistics were measured. The Faraday rotation measure and dispersion measure values are updated with the current observation. The single-pulse polarisation behaviours show great diversity, similar to the case of pulsars. Based on the integrated pulse profile and single-pulse energy statistics, we argue that continuous pulsar-like emission exists in addition to the transient-like burst emission for PSR J0628+0909. We find that the pulse waiting time is not correlated with the pulse energy and conclude that the strong transient emission of RRAT is not generated by the energy store-release mechanism.

description: Simulations of water near extended hydrophobic spherical solutes have revealed the presence of a region of depleted density and accompanying enhanced density fluctuations.The physical origin of both phenomena has remained somewhat obscure. We investigate these effects employing a mesoscopic binding potential analysis, classical density functional theory (DFT) calculations for a simple Lennard-Jones (LJ) solvent and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations of a monatomic water (mw) model. We argue that the density depletion and enhanced fluctuations are near-critical phenomena. Specifically, we show that they can be viewed as remnants of the critical drying surface phase transition that occurs at bulk liquid-vapor coexistence in the macroscopic planar limit, i.e.~as the solute radius $R_s\to\infty$. Focusing on the radial density profile $ρ(r)$ and a sensitive spatial measure of fluctuations, the local compressibility profile $χ(r)$, our binding potential analysis provides explicit predictions for the manner in which the key features of $ρ(r)$ and $χ(r)$ scale with $R_s$, the strength of solute-water attraction $\varepsilon_{sf}$, and the deviation from liquid-vapor coexistence of the chemical potential, $δμ$. These scaling predictions are confirmed by our DFT calculations and GCMC simulations. As such our theory provides a firm basis for understanding the physics of hydrophobic solvation.
