Environmental control of sepalness and petalness in waterilies
Creators: name: Warner, Kate Annabelle
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Existing models of perianth evolution are inadequate to explain morphological variation in tepals of early-divergent angiosperms as conventional concepts regarding the perianth include an unstated assumption that the characteristics of sepalness (possessing sepal-like characters) and petalness (possessing petal-like characters) must be fixed to entire individual organs. However, initial observations found that in Nuphar Smith, Nymphaea L. (Nymphaeaceae) and Schisandra Michx. (Schisandraceae), sepaloid (green) and petaloid (colourful) patches can both occur on the same individual perianth organs. Furthermore, in Nuphar and Nymphaea the region of tepal that is exposed when the flower is in bud ultimately becomes sepal-like, whereas nearly all of the covered tissue becomes petaloid. The positions of these areas on the tepals suggest that the environment determines these developmental fates. In order to test this hypothesis that I employed three different (interlinked) types of research: (1) Morphological study of normal buds found that in Nuphar lutea and Nymphaea caerulea, green and colourful areas on the perianth differ from each other in features that often distinguish sepals and petals. (2) Field experiments found that the development of sepaloid patches in the perianth of these species is initiated by exposure. The results indicate that although light is an important environmental cue, other factors also appear to be involved, such as absent of surface contact. (3) RNA insitu- hybridisation to ascertain whether the expression zones of B-genes in maturing tepals correspond to the petaloid and not the sepaloid regions, was unsuccessful due to high background staining. However, this study identified possibly causes and solutions to aid future in-situ studies. Preliminary observations on other ANA-grade angiosperms made during this study (Illiciaceae and possible Amborella), suggests sepal-petal differentiation within individual perianth organs was the ancestral condition of the perianth, and supports a novel theory on perianth evolution called the Mosaic theory. In this theory sepalness and petalness evolved in early angiosperms but were not fixed to particular organs and were primarily environmentally controlled. At a later stage in angiosperm evolution, sepaloid and petaloid characteristics became fixed to whole organs in specific whorls, thus reducing or removing the need for environmental control in favour of fixed developmental control.

Analysis of association studies and inference of haplotypic phase using hidden Markov models
Creators: name: Su, Shu Yi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis I focus on the development and application of hidden Markov model (HMM) to solve problems in statistical genetics. Our method, based on a HMM, models the joint haplotype structure in the samples, where the parameters in the model are estimated by the Baum-Welch EM algorithm. Also, the model does not require pre-defined blocks or a sliding window scheme to define haplotype boundaries. Thus our method is computationally efficient and applicable for either the whole genome sequence or the candidate gene sequence. The first application of this model is for disease association testing using inferred ancestral haplotypes. We employed a HMM to cluster haplotypes into groups of predicted common ancestral haplotypes from diploid genotypes. The results from simulation studies show that our method greatly outperforms single-SNP analyses and has greater power than a haplotype-based method, CLADHC, in most simulation scenarios. The second application is for inferring haplotypic phase and to predict missing genotypes in polyploid organisms. Using a simulation study we demonstrate that the method provides accurate estimates of haplotypic phase and missing genotypes for diploids, triploids and tetraploids. The third application is for joint CNV/SNP haplotype and missing data inference. The results are very encouraging for this application. With the increasing availability of genotype data in both diploid and polyploid organisms, we believe that our programs can facilitate the investigation of genetic variations in genome-wide scale studies.

description: CP-violating phases which contribute to the electric dipole moment(EDM) of the neutron are considered in the context of orbifold compactificationof the heterotic string. In particular, we study the situation where CP is spontaneously broken by moduli fields acquiring, in general, complex expectation values at the minimum of duality invariant low energy effective potentials. We show, by explicit minimization of such a potential in the case of the ${\bf Z}_{6}-{\rm IIb}$ orbifold, that it is the presence of so called Green-Schwarz anomaly coefficients $δ_{\rm GS}^{i} $, that leads to significant CP violating expectation values of the moduli. By evaluating the soft supersymmetry breaking moduli dependent $A$ and $B$ terms in this model, we find that the experimental bounds $Φ(A) $, $ Φ(B) $ $\leq 5 \times 10^{-3} $ are exceeded for a particular range of values of the auxiliary field of the $S$ modulus.

description: The T matrix of the LambdaN-> NN reaction, which is a strangeness changing weak process, is derived. The explicit formulas of the spin observables are given for s-wave p-Lambda final states which kinematically corresponds to inverse reaction of the weak nonmesonic decay of Lambda hypernuclei. One can study interferences between amplitudes of parity- conserving and violating, spin- singlet and triplet and isospin- singlet and triplet. Most of them are not available in the study of the nonmesonic decay. They clarify structure of the reaction and constrain strongly theoretical models for weak hyperon nucleon interaction.

Mechanisms of motor learning: by humans, for robots
Creators: name: Gowrishankar, Ganesh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Whenever we perform a movement and interact with objects in our environment, our central nervous system (CNS) adapts and controls the redundant system of muscles actuating our limbs to produce suitable forces and impedance for the interaction. As modern robots are increasingly used to interact with objects, humans and other robots, they too require to continuously adapt the interaction forces and impedance to the situation. This thesis investigated the motor mechanisms in humans through a series of technical developments and experiments, and utilized the result to implement biomimetic motor behaviours on a robot. Original tools were first developed, which enabled two novel motor imaging experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The first experiment investigated the neural correlates of force and impedance control to understand the control structure employed by the human brain. The second experiment developed a regressor free technique to detect dynamic changes in brain activations during learning, and applied this technique to investigate changes in neural activity during adaptation to force fields and visuomotor rotations. In parallel, a psychophysical experiment investigated motor optimization in humans in a task characterized by multiple error-effort optima. Finally a computational model derived from some of these results was implemented to exhibit human like control and adaptation of force, impedance and movement trajectory in a robot.

description: Learning high-quality domain word embeddings is important for achieving good performance in many NLP tasks. General-purpose embeddings trained on large-scale corpora are often sub-optimal for domain-specific applications. However, domain-specific tasks often do not have large in-domain corpora for training high-quality domain embeddings. In this paper, we propose a novel lifelong learning setting for domain embedding. That is, when performing the new domain embedding, the system has seen many past domains, and it tries to expand the new in-domain corpus by exploiting the corpora from the past domains via meta-learning. The proposed meta-learner characterizes the similarities of the contexts of the same word in many domain corpora, which helps retrieve relevant data from the past domains to expand the new domain corpus. Experimental results show that domain embeddings produced from such a process improve the performance of the downstream tasks.

Techniques to Determine the Remaining In-Service Life of Polymer Pipes for the Water Industry
Creators: name: Sanders, Joseph Michael Burgess
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Polymer pipes have been used in water distribution networks in the UK since the 1950’s. Prior to this, the water system implemented in the Victorian era had served the country for over 100 years. In more recent times, the Victorian pipe system has undergone extensive renovation. Much of this has required the replacement of the old network using polymer pipes, which are expected to have a working life of 50-100 years. The value of using polymer water pipes has been studied for many decades. Specifically, research has used set conditions to determine overall pipe in-service lifetime. However, these set conditions often do not mirror reality; in-service pipes experience and must cope with, different loads, varying soil types and changeable chemical composition of water additives. As a result, water companies currently have no methodology to accurately determine the remaining in-service life of their polymer pipes. Currently, a water pipe is only replaced when it has failed, or is deemed to have reached the end of its in-service life. The ability to do small scale tests to obtain accurate service life information would greatly benefit the planning of works and the locating of sites where pipes are no longer fit for service. This in turn would improve cost effectiveness of pipe replacement works and importantly, maintain good customer-relations. This thesis aimed to review how different techniques could be utilised to predict the overall lifetime of polymer pipes under various, more realistic conditions, and to critically assess each for suitability and accuracy. To thoroughly investigate each of these techniques, tests were carried out on polyethylene pipes. Two different polyethylene grades currently used by Thames Water were tested: PE100 used mostly as the central main pipeline and PE80 used to connect the mains to the customer. Accelerated ageing was employed to artificially age pipe material for varying periods of time and under different stresses and temperatures. In order to quantify the incurred effects upon the polymer pipe, specific markers pertaining to polymer carbonyl content, crystallinity, density and susceptibility to thermal oxidation were subsequently investigated. Extrapolation methods were then used to identify suitable markers for determining remaining in-service lifetime of polymer pipe. The results presented in this thesis are of numerous chemical evaluations carried out on various aged polyethylene samples. The identification and subsequent use of appropriate chemical evaluation techniques allowed the generation of a method that ranked pipes in terms of replacement priority. Furthermore, these results indicate that polyethylene degrades via a different mechanism in Arkopal as compared with water; it appears that Arkopal promotes polymer chain disentanglement, not oxidation-related embrittlement.

description: A distinct isotopic effect in phi photoproduction at 2-5 GeV region is identified by examining the production amplitudes due to Pomeron-exchange and meson-exchange mechanisms. This effect is mainly caused by the pi-eta interference constrained by SU(3) symmetry and the isotopic structure of the gamma NN coupling in the direct phi-radiation amplitude. It can be tested experimentally by measuring differences in the polarization observables between the gamma-p and gamma-n reactions.

A Study of Ice Particle Motion through a Shock Wave
Creators: name: Murray, Duncan Paul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: A high-speed body, such as a hypersonic aircraft or re-entry vehicle, travelling through weather may encounter a wide range of particle environments. The impact of these particles on the vehicle surface poses a significant erosion hazard to the vehicle’s thermal protection. However, interaction with the vehicle shock layer will alter the particle motion, mitigating the erosive impact. This thesis describes a study into the interaction of the high altitude ice particles with the shock layer surrounding a high-speed vehicle. A literature survey of the approaches and solution methods of previous researchers is presented. The evolution of these approaches suggested the development of a new numerical model. The development of this numerical model is described from the construction of a first order accurate Euler code and its extension to second order accuracy through to the inclusion of particle clouds and the physics required to determine their motion. The output of the model is then validated against numerical or exact results for a number of test cases, including a set of one dimensional Riemann problems and two dimensional flows. In addition, the thesis describes the results of a series of shock-tube experiments. These shock-tube experiments were undertaken to examine the motion of a cloud of inert test particles as it is swept up by a normal shock. Image and data processing tools developed to analyse output from the experiments are described. Experimental results are then compared with numerical predictions made using matching flow conditions, providing validation evidence for the model.
Quality of local equilibria in discrete exchange economies

Subjects: subject: Computer Science and Game Theory (cs.GT)

description: This paper defines the notion of a local equilibrium of quality $(r , s)$, $0 \leq r , s$, in a discrete exchange economy: a partial allocation and item prices that guarantee certain stability properties parametrized by the numbers $r$ and $s$. The quality $( r , s )$ measures the fit between the allocation and the prices: the larger $r$ and $s$ the closer the fit. For $r , s \leq 1$ this notion provides a graceful degradation for the conditional equilibria of [10] which are exactly the local equilibria of quality $( 1 , 1 )$. For $1 < r , s $ the local equilibria of quality $( r , s )$ are {\em more stable} than conditional equilibria. Any local equilibrium of quality $( r , s )$ provides, without any assumption on the type of the agents' valuations, an allocation whose value is at least $\frac{r s} { 1 + r s }$ the optimal fractional allocation. In any economy in which all agents' valuations are $a$-submodular, i.e., exhibit complementarity bounded by $a \: \geq \: 1$, there is a local equilibrium of quality $( \frac{1} {a} , \frac{1}{a} )$. In such an economy any greedy allocation provides a local equilibrium of quality $( 1 , \frac{1}{a} ) $. Walrasian equilibria are not amenable to such graceful degradation.
description: 34 pages, preprint. Previous results are generalized to a-bounded valuations. The latest version corrects typos and includes minor changes. It also adds an Appendix on quasi-Walrasian equilibria. Title has been changed. Version 3 has been revised according to referees comments

description: In this letter we use Type II NS5-branes in the presence of an RR field at the decoupling limit to study a non-commutative version of little string theory. We shall see that the decoupling limit of NS5-branes in the presence of an RR field is completely different from the one we had in ordinary little string theory; in particular for Type IIA NS5-branes this decoupling limit can be defined only when the theory is wrapped on a circle, but nevertheless flows to the ordinary non-compact (0,2) theory at the IR limit. We also see that these theories, in the UV regime, where the non-commutative effects are important, can be described by smeared ordinary D3(D2)-branes in Type IIB(A) string theory.

description: The specific antibodies induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection may provide protection against a subsequent infection. However, the efficacy and duration of protection provided by naturally acquired immunity against subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection remain controversial. We systematically searched for the literature describing COVID-19 reinfection published before 07 February 2022. The outcomes were the pooled incidence rate ratio (IRR) for estimating the risk of subsequent infection. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Statistical analyses were conducted using the R programming language 4.0.2. We identified 19 eligible studies including more than 3.5 million individuals without the history of COVID-19 vaccination. The efficacy of naturally acquired antibodies against reinfection was estimated at 84% (pooled IRR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.14-0.18), with higher efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 cases (pooled IRR = 0.09, 95% CI = 0.07-0.12) than asymptomatic infection (pooled IRR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.14-0.54). In the subgroup analyses, the pooled IRRs of COVID-19 infection in health care workers (HCWs) and the general population were 0.22 (95% CI = 0.16-0.31) and 0.14 (95% CI = 0.12-0.17), respectively, with a significant difference (P = 0.02), and those in older (over 60 years) and younger (under 60 years) populations were 0.26 (95% CI = 0.15–0.48) and 0.16 (95% CI= 0.14-0.19), respectively. The risk of subsequent infection in the seropositive population appeared to increase slowly over time. In conclusion, naturally acquired antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 can significantly reduce the risk of subsequent infection, with a protection efficacy of 84%.

The survey area measures 22,440 ft long by 65.62 ft wide and encompasses 25.85 acres of private land and 7.95 acres of State Trust land under the jurisdiction of the Arizona State Land Department, totaling 33.80 acres. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) right-of-way within the project area was not surveyed as part of this project. It had previously been surveyed and is highly disturbed; no sites are reported in the Reclamation right-of-way where it crosses the SRP project area. Although the SRP project corridor is only 36 feet wide, a 20-m-wide corridor was surveyed. The proposed project consists of constructing a new 69kV transmission line, including installation of utility poles. The Class III survey was undertaken at the request of SRP as due-diligence as part of the planning for the installation of the line, and because portions of the project are located on ASLD land, the cultural resources survey was completed in compliance with the requirements set forth in ARS § 41-861 et. Seq., the Arizona State Historic Preservation Act.

description: Ratios involving on-resonance measurements of the three-fold and five-fold correlation cross sections for which the dependence on some of the unknown spectroscopic data is eliminated are considered. Closed form expressions are derived for the statistical distributions of these ratios. Implications for bounds on the variance of matrix elements of time reversal non-invariant nucleon-nucleon interactions are considered within a Bayesian framework and the competitiveness with bounds from other experiments is evaluated. The prospects for null five-fold correlation measurements improving by an order of magnitude or more upon the current bound on a parity-conserving T-odd interaction are good.

description: Test Case Prioritization (TCP) is an increasingly important regression testing technique for reordering test cases according to a pre-defined goal, particularly as agile practices gain adoption. To better understand these techniques, we perform the first extensive study aimed at empirically evaluating four static TCP techniques, comparing them with state-of-research dynamic TCP techniques across several quality metrics. This study was performed on 58 real-word Java programs encompassing 714 KLoC and results in several notable observations. First, our results across two effectiveness metrics (the Average Percentage of Faults Detected APFD and the cost cognizant APFDc) illustrate that at test-class granularity, these metrics tend to correlate, but this correlation does not hold at test-method granularity. Second, our analysis shows that static techniques can be surprisingly effective, particularly when measured by APFDc. Third, we found that TCP techniques tend to perform better on larger programs, but that program size does not affect comparative performance measures between techniques. Fourth, software evolution does not significantly impact comparative performance results between TCP techniques. Fifth, neither the number nor type of mutants utilized dramatically impact measures of TCP effectiveness under typical experimental settings. Finally, our similarity analysis illustrates that highly prioritized test cases tend to uncover dissimilar faults.

description: Salt River Project (SRP) plans to build a fish barrier in Lime Creek, a tributary of the Verde River, on the Tonto National Forest (TNF), Cave Creek Ranger District, Maricopa County, Arizona (Figures 1 and 2). The fish barrier is required by the Endangered Species Act Section 10(a)(1)(B) permit and Habitat Conservation Plan for operation of Horseshoe and Bartlett dams on the Verde River. The proposed action, which has the potential to impose adverse impacts upon cultural resources, requires permitting from TNF and, as such, is an undertaking subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended. Accordingly, SRP requested that EcoPlan Associates, Inc. (EcoPlan) conduct a cultural resource investigation in advance of the project. The survey was carried out under Special Use Permit TON579, issued to EcoPlan by TNF.

description: Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) is a stochastic method which has been particularly successful for ground-state electronic structure calculations but mostly unexplored for the computation of excited-state energies. Here, we show that, within a Jastrow-free QMC protocol relying on a deterministic and systematic construction of nodal surfaces using selected configuration interaction (sCI) expansions, one is able to obtain accurate excitation energies at the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FN-DMC) level. This evidences that the fixed-node errors in the ground and excited states obtained with sCI wave functions cancel out to a large extent. Our procedure is tested on two small organic molecules (water and formaldehyde) for which we report all-electron FN-DMC calculations. For both the singlet and triplet manifolds, accurate vertical excitation energies are obtained with relatively compact multideterminant expansions built with small (typically double-$ζ$) basis sets.

description: Research has repeatedly shown that males in the age range of 16 to 24 years account for a disproportionately large volume of crime (Sampson and Laub 1993 ). The armed forces are major employers of young males in this crime-prone age range and could thus play an important role in crime prevention. The military provides many varied opportunities including a highly structured and regimented institution in which rigid behavioral norms and close monitoring are imposed. Some other incentives that service provides include educational opportunities through the" Advanced Individual Training", the GI Bill, in-service tuition assistance, and world-wide travel. All these are available to those who serve in the military and without the military these opportunities may not be available.

This paper examines the relationship between conscription laws (mandatory military or social service) and crime rates across countries. This cross-national study focuses on three major crimes: burglary, robbery, and homicide. In addition to conscription laws several control variables have been included in the analyses are: percent of the labor force that is military, level of civil liberties/freedom, level of industrialization, illiteracy rates, percent of urban population, unemployment rates, percent under the international poverty line, income disparity (measured using the Gini index), and population.

This study assesses the impact of conscription on crime rates by formulating and testing three hypotheses. First, mandatory military service and mandatory military with social service option is negatively related to crime across nations. Secondly, mandatory military service with a social service option has stronger affects on crime than simply mandatory military service. Lastly, both types of mandatory service will be significant when the control variables are included in analyses.

As there are few studies that look into the relation of conscription and crime I believe the findings to have policy implications throughout the world. The findings indicate that mandatory military service is highly related to reducing property crimes (burglary and robbery). This result is consistent with social control theory, in that military service may serve as a process of socialization through which people identify with each other and their community, thus reducing the likelihood of property crime. There appears to be no link between any type of mandatory service and homicide.

description: A supercurrent superfield whose components include a conserved energy-momentum tensor and supersymmetry current as well as a (generally broken) R-symmetry current is constructed for a generic effective N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory. The general form of the R-symmetry breaking is isolated. Included within the various special cases considered is the identification of those models which exhibit an unbroken R-symmetry. One such example corresponds to a non-linearly realized gauge symmetry where the chiral field R-weight is required to vanish.

description: The proposed expansion of the Copper Cities tailing pond which is located immediately west of Pinal Creek will endanger a section of an existing Salt River Project transmission line. As a result, a change in the route of the line has become necessary. Both the tower locations and the access to the tower sites will involve lands not previously subjugated. The present investigations have been conducted to determine whether or not the new construction will impact archaeological resources. A request for the reconnaissance was made by Mr. James P, Paulos, Environmental Analyst, Salt River Project. The investigations were conducted by Dr. Alfred E. Dittert, Jr. and Mr. Donald E. Weaver, Jr., Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University, on 10 February 1974. Transportation to the district and identification of the new alignment was provided by Mr. Jack A. Rossi of the Salt River Project.

description: In multidimensional gravity with an arbitrary number of internal Ricci-flat factor spaces, interacting with electric and magnetic $p$-branes, spherically symmetric configurations are considered. It is shown that all single-brane black-hole solutions are stable under spherically symmetric perturbations, whereas similar solutions possessing naked singularities turn out to be catastrophically unstable. The black hole stability conclusion is extended to some classes of configurations with intersecting branes. These results do not depend on the particular composition of the $D$-dimensional space-time, on the number of dilatonic scalar fields $ϕ^a$ and on the values of their coupling constants. Some examples from 11-dimensional supergravity are considered.
