description: This paper investigates Monte Carlo techniques for construction of compact wavefunctions for the internal atomic motion of the D3O+ ion. The polarization force field models of Stillinger, et al and of Ojamae, et al. were used. Initial pair product wavefunctions were obtained from the asymptotic high temperature many-body density matrix after contraction to atom pairs using Metropolis Monte Carlo. Subsequent characterization shows these pair product wavefunctions to be well optimized for atom pair correlations despite that fact that the predicted zero point energies are too high. The pair product wavefunctions are suitable to use within variational Monte Carlo, including excited states, and density matrix Monte Carlo calculations. Together with the pair product wavefunctions, the traditional variational theorem permits identification of wavefunction features with significant potential for further optimization. The most important explicit correlation variable found for the D3O+ ion was the vector triple product {\bf r}$_{OD1}\cdot$({\bf r}$_{OD2}\times${\bf r}$_{OD3}$). Variational Monte Carlo with 9 of such explicitly correlated functions yielded a ground state wavefunction with an error of 5-6% in the zero point energy.

description: We develop a covariant method for studying the effects of a reheating phase on the primordial adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations in two-field models of inflation. To model the decay of the scalar fields into radiation at the end of inflation, we introduce a prescription in which radiation is treated as an additional effective scalar field, requiring us to extend the two-field setup into a three-field system. In this prescription, the coupling between radiation and the scalars can be interpreted covariantly in terms geometrical quantities that parametrize the evolution of a background trajectory in a three-field space. In order to obtain concrete results, we consider two scenarios characterized for having unsuppressed isocurvature fluctuations at the end of inflation: (1) canonical two-field inflation with the product exponential potential, which sources a large negative amount of non-gaussianity and, (2) two-field inflation with an ultra-light field, a model in which the isocurvature mode becomes approximately massless, and its interaction with the curvature perturbation persists during the entire period of inflation. In both cases we discuss how their predictions are modified by the coupling of the scalar fields to the radiation fluid.

description: Supersymmetric Ward identity for the low energy effective action in the standard background gauge is derived for {\it arbitrary} trajectories of supergravitons in Matrix Theory. In our formalism, the quantum-corrected supersymmetry transformation laws of the supergravitons are directly identified in closed form, which exhibit an intricate interplay between supersymmetry and gauge (BRST) symmetry. As an application, we explicitly compute the transformation laws for the source-probe configuration at 1-loop and confirm that supersymmetry fixes the form of the action completely, including the normalization, to the lowest order in the derivative expansion.

description: Phytolacca americana is a Cd hyperaccumulator plant that accumulates significant amounts of Cd in leaves, making it a valuable phytoremediation plant species. Our previous research found enolase (ENO) may play an important part in P. americana to cope with Cd stress. As a multifunctional enzyme, ENO was involved not only in glycolysis but also in the response of plants to various environmental stresses. However, there are few studies on the function of PaENO (P. americana enolase) in coping with Cd stress. In this study, the PaENO gene was isolated from P. americana, and the expression level of PaENO gene significantly increased after Cd treatment. The enzymatic activity analysis showed PaENO had typical ENO activity, and the 42-position serine was essential to the enzymatic activity of PaENO. The Cd resistance assay indicated the expression of PaENO remarkably enhanced the resistance of E. coli to Cd, which was achieved by reducing the Cd content in E. coli. Moreover, both the expression of inactive PaENO and PaMBP-1 (alternative translation product of PaENO) can improve the tolerance of E. coli to Cd. The results indicated PaENO may be alternatively translated into the transcription factor PaMBP-1 to participate in the response of P. americana to Cd stress. The expression of the Cd resistance related protein PaENO can significantly increase the tolerance of E. coli to Cd, which was achieved by reducing the content of Cd in E. coli cells, and was independent of the enzymatic activity of PaENO. Moreover, PaENO may be alternatively translated into the transcription factor PaMBP-1 to participate in the response of P. americana to Cd stress.

description: Visual active tracking is a growing research topic in robotics due to its key role in applications such as human assistance, disaster recovery, and surveillance. In contrast to passive tracking, active tracking approaches combine vision and control capabilities to detect and actively track the target. Most of the work in this area focuses on ground robots, while the very few contributions on aerial platforms still pose important design constraints that limit their applicability. To overcome these limitations, in this paper we propose D-VAT, a novel end-to-end visual active tracking methodology based on deep reinforcement learning that is tailored to micro aerial vehicle platforms. The D-VAT agent computes the vehicle thrust and angular velocity commands needed to track the target by directly processing monocular camera measurements. We show that the proposed approach allows for precise and collision-free tracking operations, outperforming different state-of-the-art baselines on simulated environments which differ significantly from those encountered during training. Moreover, we demonstrate a smooth real-world transition to a quadrotor platform with mixed-reality.

description: We use finite element simulations in both the frequency and the time-domain to study the terahertz resonance characteristics of a metamaterial (MM) comprising a spiral connected to a straight arm. The MM acts as a RLC circuit whose resonance frequency can be precisely tuned by varying the characteristic geometrical parameters of the spiral: inner and outer radius, width and number of turns. We provide a simple analytical model that uses these geometrical parameters as input to give accurate estimates of the resonance frequency. Finite element simulations show that linearly polarized terahertz radiation efficiently couples to the MM thanks to the straight arm, inducing a current in the spiral, which in turn induces a resonant magnetic field enhancement at the center of the spiral. We observe a large (approximately 20 times) and uniform (over an area of $\sim 10~μm^{2}$) enhancement of the magnetic field for narrowband terahertz radiation with frequency matching the resonance frequency of the MM. When a broadband, single-cycle terahertz pulse propagates towards the metamaterial, the peak magnetic field of the resulting band-passed waveform still maintains a 6-fold enhancement compared to the peak impinging field. Using existing laser-based terahertz sources, our metamaterial design allows to generate magnetic fields of the order of 2 T over a time scale of several picoseconds, enabling the investigation of non-linear ultrafast spin dynamics in table-top experiments. Furthermore, our MM can be implemented to generate intense near-field narrowband, multi-cycle electromagnetic fields to study generic ultrafast resonant terahertz dynamics in condensed matter.

Basket Options Pricing for Jump Diffusion Models
Creators: name: Xu, Guoping
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis we discuss basket option valuation for jump-diffusion models. We suggest three new approximate pricing methods. The first approximation method is the weighted sum of Rogers and Shi’s lower bound and the conditional second moment adjustments. The second is the asymptotic expansion to approximate the conditional expectation of the stochastic variance associated with the basket value process. The third is the lower bound approximation which is based on the combination of the asymptotic expansion method and Rogers and Shi’s lower bound. We also derive a forward partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) for general asset price processes with stochastic volatilities and stochastic jump compensators. Numerical tests show that the suggested methods are fast and accurate in comparison with Monte Carlo and other methods in most cases.

description: We construct a model for cosmic ray acceleration from protostellar accretion shocks and calculate the resulting cosmic ray ionization rate within star-forming molecular clouds. We couple a protostar cluster model with an analytic accretion shock model to calculate the cosmic ray acceleration from protostellar surfaces. We present the cosmic ray flux spectrum from keV to GeV energies for a typical low-mass protostar. We find that at the shock surface the spectrum follows a power-law trend across 6 orders of magnitude in energy. After attenuation, the spectrum at high energies steepens, while at low energies it is relatively flat. We calculate the cosmic ray pressure and cosmic ray ionization rate from relativistic protons at the protostellar surface and at the edge of the core. We present the cosmic ray ionization rate for individual protostars as a function of their instantaneous mass and final mass. The protostellar cosmic ray ionization rate is $ζ\approx 0.01 - 1$ s$^{-1}$ at the accretion shock surface. However, at the edge of the core, the cosmic ray ionization rate drops substantially to between $ζ\approx 10^{-20}$ to $10^{-17}$ s$^{-1}$. There is a large spatial gradient in the cosmic ray ionization rate, such that inner regions may experience cosmic ray ionization rates larger than the often assumed fiducial rate, $ζ= 3\times10^{-17}$ s$^{-1}$. Finally, we calculate the cosmic ray ionization rate for protostellar clusters over 5 orders of magnitude of cluster size. We find that clusters with more than approximately 200 protostars produce a higher cosmic ray ionization rate within their natal cloud than the fiducial galactic value.

Lubrication of High Sliding Silicon Micromachines
Creators: name: Ku, Ingrid Siu Ying
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: A major challenge in silicon devices based on micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is the provision of effective lubrication for sliding parts. This greatly limits the development and exploitation of MEMS devices, with current designs avoiding sliding contacts where possible. This thesis describes research aimed at lubricating high sliding MEMS devices. A micro-scaled tribometer has been constructed to obtain measurements of friction between two sliding silicon surfaces. This work focuses on lubricating MEMS with liquids, a self-replenishing lubrication method which had been dismissed previously as they were assumed to carry too much viscous drag. The major finding is that ferromagnetic fluids make excellent lubricants for sliding MEMS surfaces. These fluids provide low friction at high speeds, and reduce the boundary friction at low speeds when the hydrodynamic film is absent. The properties of such fluids allow the liquid to be contained in the presence of a magnetic field, meaning that only a small, localised amount is required. Low viscosity liquids were also shown to provide acceptably low friction at high speeds. These results agreed reasonably well with theory. Friction modifier (FM) additives were added to low viscosity liquids in order to reduce boundary friction by forming boundary films, when no hydrodynamic film is generated at low speeds. Drag has also been shown to be insignificant. A study of the wear of silicon surfaces under prolonged sliding was conducted. Previous studies have focussed on dry coatings and apparently untreated surfaces. In this thesis, the effects of different surface preparations, the use of low viscosity liquids and vapour phase lubrication on wear have been studied. This thesis concludes that it is feasible to use liquids to lubricate sliding MEMS. High sliding MEMS is possible and practicable in future if self-replenishing methods, such as those studied in this work, are employed in real devices.

description: Colloidal mixtures represent a versatile model system to study transport in complex environments. They allow for a systematic variation of the control parameters, namely size ratio, total volume fraction and composition. We study the effects of these parameters on the dynamics of dense suspensions using molecular dynamics simulations and differential dynamic microscopy experiments. We investigate the motion of the small particles through the matrix of large particles as well as the motion of the large particles. A particular focus is on the coupling of the collective dynamics of the small and large particles and on the different mechanisms leading to this coupling. For large size ratios, about 1:5, and an increasing fraction of small particles, the dynamics of the two species become increasingly coupled and reflect the structure of the large particles. This is attributed to the dominant effect of the large particles on the motion of the small particles which is mediated by the increasing crowding of the small particles. Furthermore, for moderate size ratios, about 1:3, and sufficiently high fractions of small particles, mixed cages are formed and hence the dynamics are also strongly coupled. Again, the coupling becomes weaker as the fraction of small particles is decreased. In this case, however, the collective intermediate scattering function of the small particles shows a logarithmic decay corresponding to a broad range of relaxation times.

description: The spectrum of critical exponents of the $N$--vector model in $4-\eps$~dimensions is investigated to the second order in~$\eps$. A generic class of one--loop degeneracies that has been reported in a previous work is lifted in two--loop order. One-- and two--loop results lead to the conjecture that the spectrum possesses a remarkable hierarchical structure: The naive sum of any two anomalous dimensions generates a limit point in the spectrum, an anomalous dimension plus a limit point generates a limit point of limit points and so on. An infinite hierarchy of such limit points can be observed in the spectrum.

Measurement of the centrality dependence of the dijet yield in $p$+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_\text{NN}}}$ = 8.16 TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: The measurement of hard scatterings in proton-nucleus collisions has resulted in a greater understanding of both the proton and nuclear structure. ATLAS measured the centrality dependence of the dijet yield using 165 nb$^{-1}$ of $p$+Pb data collected at $\sqrt{s_{_\text{NN}}}$ = 8.16 TeV in 2016. The event centrality, which reflects the $p$+Pb impact parameter, is characterized by the total transverse energy registered in the Pb-going side of the forward calorimeter. The central-to-peripheral ratio of the scaled dijet yields, $R_\mathrm{CP}$, is evaluated, and the results are presented as a function of variables that reflect the kinematics of the initial hard parton scattering process. The $R_\mathrm{CP}$ shows a scaling with the Bjorken-$x$ of the parton originating from the proton, $x_p$, while no such trend is observed as a function of $x_\mathrm{Pb}$. This analysis provides unique input to understanding the role of small proton spatial configurations in $p$+Pb collisions by covering parton momentum fractions from the valence region down to $x_p \sim 10^{-3}$ and $x_\mathrm{Pb}\sim 4\cdot10^{-4}$.

Conceptualization of West, East, and Center in Europe
Creators: name: Voronov, Nikita
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of Czech national identity within the context of the geopolitical and cultural constructs of the West, the East, and Central Europe. By employing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates historical, legal, and political science perspectives, it builds upon prior scholarship through new academic sources, critical debates, and comparative legal analysis. Key findings include a systematic deconstruction of binary perceptions of Europe, the role of legal instruments in Czech–German reconciliation, and the dialectic between sovereignty and European integration. The analysis draws on an extensive corpus of historical accounts, constitutional rulings, and EU treaty frameworks to enable a fresh interpretation of Central European identity in a globalized context. Through examination of evolving constitutional jurisprudence and institutional adaptations since EU accession, this research highlights the distinctive features of Czech political and legal culture as they pertain to European identity construction.
An investigation into the role of TbZC3H20: a zinc finger protein that acts as a post-transcriptional regulator of gene expression in Trypanosoma brucei
Creators: name: Ling, Alexandra Susan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Trypanosomes rely on post-transcriptional mechanisms to regulate gene expression, thus RNA-binding proteins are of particular significance in these parasites. This project focuses on a CCCH zinc finger protein TbZC3H20, which is hypothesised to regulate gene expression via mRNA stability, and consequently control normal cell functions. Using reverse genetics such as RNAi down-regulation and ectopic over-expression, the role of TbZC3H20 in insect procyclic form and mammalian bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei has been investigated. Phenotypes resulting from perturbing the expression of TbZC3H20 in both life forms were examined and characterised, and these provided clues about the mRNA species that might be regulated by this protein. In combination with microarray analysis, specific mRNA targets were selected for further investigation: to verify that TbZC3H20 regulates transcripts via mRNA stability and turnover, to demonstrate their direct interaction with TbZC3H20, and to show that the 3’ UTR is responsible for regulation by TbZC3H20. This analysis also addressed the possibility of creating TbZC3H20 null mutants in bloodstream forms and procyclic forms, which indicated the essential nature of TbZC3H20 itself in either life form, as well as providing a useful tool in characterising its role within the cell. In conclusion, this project reveals a novel RNA-binding protein that is able to regulate mRNAs involved in the highly coordinated process of differentiation from one life form to another, as well as regulating life cycle stage enriched transcripts essential for trypanosome cell survival.

description: The enigmatic even-denominator fractional quantum Hall state at Landau level filling factor $ν=5/2$ is arguably the most promising candidate for harboring Majorana quasi-particles with non-Abelian statistics and thus of potential use for topological quantum computing. The theoretical description of the $ν=5/2$ state is generally believed to involve a topological p-wave pairing of fully spin-polarized composite fermions through their condensation into a non-Abelian Moore-Read Pfaffian state. There is, however, no direct and conclusive experimental evidence for the existence of composite fermions near $ν=5/2$ or for an underlying fully spin-polarized Fermi sea. Here, we report the observation of composite fermions very near $ν=5/2$ through geometric resonance measurements, and find that the measured Fermi wavevector provides direct demonstration of a Fermi sea with full spin polarization. This lends crucial credence to the model of $5/2$ fractional quantum Hall effect as a topological p-wave paired state of composite fermions.

Mechanical Characterisation of Confectionery Wafers
Creators: name: Mohammed, Idris Kevin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The aim of this research is to model the deformation and fracture behaviour of wafers used in chocolate confectionery products. Compression and bending tests showed that the mechanical behaviour of the wafer was characteristic of a brittle foam. The wafer sheet was examined with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to determine the wafer dimensions and to observe the internal microstructure. These images showed that the core of the wafer sheet was more porous than the dense skins of the wafer. An analytical model was developed to calculate the modulus of the wafer core and skin sections. A finite element (FE) model using a simple repetitive geometry of the wafer was implemented. The ‘crushable foam’ material model was the closest fit to the wafer deformation under compression and was applied to the core of the wafer. An alternative FE model was proposed, which used the actual complex architecture of the wafer. To attain the wafer architecture, X-ray Microtomography (XMT) was used on a sample to produce a stack of image slices which were reconstructed as a 3D volume. The microstructure of the 3D volume was characterised and then meshed with tetrahedral elements for finite element analysis. The cell walls of the model were given a linear elastic material model and a damage criterion to simulate the fracture of the cell walls. In-situ SEM and XMT experiments were conducted which allowed the deformation and fracture of the wafer sheet to be observed simultaneously as the global mechanical response was recorded. The FE model of the complex architecture was able to predict the deformation behaviour of the wafer in compression. In the future, the model can be used to simulate the cutting process of the wafer, allowing the effect of parameters such as cutting speed and blade dimensions to be determined efficiently.

description: We construct the well-known decomposition of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{e}_8$ into representations of $\mathfrak{e}_6\oplus\mathfrak{su}(3)$ using explicit matrix representations over pairs of division algebras. The minimal representation of $\mathfrak{e}_6$, namely the Albert algebra, is thus realized explicitly within $\mathfrak{e}_8$, with the action given by the matrix commutator in $\mathfrak{e}_8$, and with a natural parameterization using division algebras. Each resulting copy of the Albert algebra consists of anti-Hermitian matrices in $\mathfrak{e}_8$, labeled by imaginary (split) octonions. Our formalism naturally extends from the Lie algebra to the Lie group $E_6\subset E_8$.

description: The definition of a concise and effective testbed for Genetic Programming (GP) is a recurrent matter in the research community. This paper takes a new step in this direction, proposing a different approach to measure the quality of the symbolic regression benchmarks quantitatively. The proposed approach is based on meta-learning and uses a set of dataset meta-features---such as the number of examples or output skewness---to describe the datasets. Our idea is to correlate these meta-features with the errors obtained by a GP method. These meta-features define a space of benchmarks that should, ideally, have datasets (points) covering different regions of the space. An initial analysis of 63 datasets showed that current benchmarks are concentrated in a small region of this benchmark space. We also found out that number of instances and output skewness are the most relevant meta-features to GP output error. Both conclusions can help define which datasets should compose an effective testbed for symbolic regression methods.

description: In this interview, Helen speaks about her life in New York City, focusing on her drug use. She discusses how she was first introduced to drugs, namely cocaine, through her husband, and explains how they transitioned to using a mixture of cocaine and heroin (speedball), and eventually, to only heroin. She describes her various jobs, including as a chambermaid, prostitute, and drug dealer. Helen also remarks on World War II's impact on the price, quality, and prevalence of heroin being bought and sold in Manhattan. She touches on the difference between addicts who bought drugs on the street, and those who bought drugs in closed, trusted circles inside apartments or other private buildings. She describes how she kept her personal needles and other heroin paraphernalia clean. She also discusses how she turned to other drugs like codeine when heroin was scarce. She describes the eighteen months she spent in a women's detention facility in Greenwich Village, New York after being arrested for a drug sale. She discusses how she joined a methadone program in 1972 and quit heroin. She mentions that she visited Bernstein in July 1980 to detox from alcohol, which she had begun to develop a problem with around the time she entered the methadone program

Presumed and transported PDF methods applied to turbulent premixed flames
Creators: name: Persson, Lars Magnus
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The current study focuses on the modelling of turbulent premixed or partially premixed flames over a wide range of combustion regimes using various fuels. Opposed flows featuring fractal-generated turbulence are examined using different classes of models. The reacting case is in the flamelet regime of combustion and two-scalar joint β -bimodal presumed PDF and transported PDF approaches are applied for scalar statistics. In the isothermal case the k − ε model works comparatively well, in contrast to previous studies, while in the reacting case the second moment closures are outperforming the eddy viscosity based closures. The transported PDF approach indicates an under-prediction of the turbulent burning velocity in this flow. The latter approach is therefore applied to compute freely propagating turbulent premixed flames using comprehensive chemistry. Turbulent burning velocities are extracted and compared with experimental data. The computed cases are covering the laminar flamelet to the distributed reaction zone regime. The mixture reactivity is also varied through different fuel/air mixtures and explored in terms of the Zeldovich number. The fuel/air composition studied include fuel-lean CH4, stoichiometric CH4 and C2H6 and fuel-rich H2 mixtures. The impact of molecular transport is investigated through the inclusion of an explicit analytical formulation. A multi-scale scalar dissipation rate closure that accounts for the influence of the Da number is extended in a simple manner to include Le number effects. An industrial swirl-stabilised partially premixed fuel-rich CH4 flame is simulated at realistic gas turbine conditions using the node-based Eulerian transported PDF approach coupled with a second moment closure for the velocity field. The case is in the well stirred reactor regime and the chemical kinetics is modelled using a global reaction scheme for hydrocarbon combustion. The flow field is initialised and compared with the predictions of the two-scalar joint β-bimodal presumed PDF approach.

description: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Lower Colorado Regional Office, is planning environmental restoration activities as part of the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP). The LCR MSCP is a 50-year multi-stakeholder, Federal and non-Federal partnership responding to the need to balance the use of lower Colorado River water resources and the conservation of native species and their habitats in compliance with the Endangered Species Act. Reclamation designated two parcels, the Beal Lake Conservation Area Expansion (Beal) and the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge Expansion (Cibola), as part of the LCR MSCP. These two parcels are under Reclamation’s land jurisdiction as the Area of Potential Effects (APE), totaling 1,738 acres.

description: We connect a primitive operation from arithmetic -- summing the digits of a base-$B$ integer -- to $q$-series and product generating functions analogous to those in partition theory. We find digit sum generating functions to be intertwined with distinctive classes of "$B$-ary" Lambert series, which themselves enjoy nice transformations. We also consider digit sum Dirichlet series.

Prandtl-Batchelor theorem for three-dimensional flows slowly varying in one direction and its application to vortex breakdown
Creators: name: Sandoval Espinoza, Mario
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: In this work, the Prandtl-Batchelor theorem is extended to three-dimensional flows slowly varying in one direction by using asymptotic techniques, and thus overcoming the problem of having non-closed streamlines for recirculating three-dimensional flows. The derived equations turned out to be an analogue of the quasi-cylindrical equations used for describing behavior of streamwise vortices, rotating jets, vortex breakdown phenomenon and some other problems. Hence, the derived equations may be used for studying similar phenomena in non-axisymmetric cases. In order to apply such a system of equations to particular problems, a computational code was developed and validated by reproducing numerical results available in the literature. This code was constructed in two parts, one part considered the parabolic system of partial differential equations as decoupled from the Poisson equation and the second part solved the nonlinear Poisson equation by using an iterative method. Finally, these two algorithms were joined in order to solve the entire system. Once the code was available, it was used to investigate possible non-axisymmetric effects on the position of vortex breakdown phenomenon. The results of this study suggest that non-axisymmetric effects precipitate the onset of vortex breakdown. From all this work, two articles were written, one article was published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (see Appendix D) and the second article will be submitted.

description: Artificial intelligence is a technology that‘s hugely controversial. Despite its potential, and for a long time, many people expressed their doubts about this technology and what it holds for us in the future (cited in D‘Onfro 2018 p.1-3; Novet 2018, p.1-3). But for the past few years AI kept growing exponentially and it‘s been implemented in numerous fields (cited in Artificial intelligence index, 2017, p.9-36), proving that it‘s a great asset that can yet open many other doors for a better everyday life (cited in Jahanzaib and Tarique, 2015, p.5). By leveraging the easy accessibility to AI documentation and frameworks this master thesis is continuity to my bachelor thesis with the goal of replacing classical image processing methods by an AI network that brings improvements to the project.
