Abstract:

Robert Donald Bruce (Bruce) Fraser was a biophysicist who gained world-wide distinction for his extensive structural studies of fibrous proteins. Bruce began a part-time BSc degree at Birkbeck College, London, while working as a laboratory assistant. In 1942, aged 18, he interrupted his studies and volunteered for training as a pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF). He was sent to the Union of South Africa and was selected for instructor training, specialising in teaching pilot navigation. At the end of the war he completed his BSc at King’s College, London, and followed this with a PhD. Bruce studied the structure of biological molecules, including DNA, using infra-red micro-spectroscopy in the Biophysics Unit at King’s led by physicist J. T. Randall FRS. During that time Bruce built a structure for DNA that was close to the Watson-Crick structure that gained them and Maurice Wilkins at Kings College, the Nobel Prize in 1962. In 1952, he immigrated to Australia with his family to a position in the newly formed Wool Textile Research Laboratories at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Here, Bruce established a biophysics group for research on the structure of wool and other fibrous proteins that flourished until his retirement. Over that period he was internationally recognized as the pre-eminent fibrous protein structuralist world-wide. Having been acting chief, Bruce was subsequently appointed chief of the Division of Protein Chemistry and he remained in that role until he took retirement in 1987.

Abstract:

While Scotland was politically unified before the First Scottish War of Independence (1296-1328), it was only nominally so. Scotland shared a rich cultural unity amongst the clans, and it was only through the invasion from England, and the war that followed, that Scotland found a true political unity under King Robert the Bruce. This thesis argues that Scotland had a shared cultural identity, including the way it waged war, and how it came to be united under one king who brought a sense of nationalism to Scotland.

Abstract:

Over eighty polar-themed exhibitions were held in Britain between 1819 and the 1930s, a time of intense exploration of both the Arctic and Antarctic. These varied from panoramas and human exhibits to displays of ‘relics', equipment, photographs and artwork, waxworks and displays shown as part of a Great Exhibition. This period also saw the creation of the first dedicated polar museums. These displays were visited by thousands of people throughout the country, helping to mediate the subject of exploration for a public audience. Despite this, the role exhibitions played in forming popular views of the polar regions has not been fully assessed. This thesis addresses this gap. It is the first to consider all the polar exhibitions held during this period as a collective body, making it possible to study how they developed over time and in response to changing circumstances. The thesis uses a variety of archival sources to both reconstruct the displays and place them in their historical and museological contexts. The study shows that exhibitions evolved in response to changes both in the museum sector and in exploration culture. It demonstrates that, while they were originally identified with the shows of the entertainment industry, polar exhibitions began to take on more of the characteristics of museum displays. At the same time their dominant themes changed; the natural world was relegated in favour of ideas relating to the human experience of the regions such as heroism, adventure and everyday life in an exotic environment. While other media may have been more effective in disseminating ideas about exploration, visitors could find the experience of visiting an exhibition more compelling. This thesis contributes to our understanding of this distinct role that exhibitions played in presenting the polar regions to the British public.

Abstract:

Abstract The paper is part of the European research program JABACO (2015–2018), on the optimization of design and construction of offshore jacket platforms for supporting large wind turbines (5–10 MW) in water depths ranging from 30m to 80m. In particular, the paper describes an experimental investigation on the high-cycle fatigue performance of welded tubular connections, subjected to in-plane bending loading. Experimental results from seven (7) X-joint specimens are presented. The specimens were manufactured with 18-inch-diameter tubes and a brace-to-chord-diameter ratio equal to 1. Furthermore, the brace-to-chord-thickness ratio is equal 0.6, and the brace-chord angle is 90-degrees. The specimens are made of regular carbon steel grade 355, and have been fabricated using two different welding techniques: (a) manual (semi-automatic) welding (5 specimens); and (b) robot (automatic) welding (2 specimens). The comparison of the fatigue design life of those welding methods is a major objective of the present study. Prior to testing, numerical simulations have been performed to determine the critical locations around the weld toe, for proper instrumentation of the tubular specimens in terms of strain gage locations. This research work aims at a critical evaluation of available design standards, towards the development of more reliable design tools and reduction of the construction cost of the platform.

Abstract:

A major challenge in inductive logic programming (ILP) is learning large programs. We argue that a key limitation of existing systems is that they use entailment to guide the hypothesis search. This approach is limited because entailment is a binary decision: a hypothesis either entails an example or does not, and there is no intermediate position. To address this limitation, we go beyond entailment and use 'example-dependent' loss functions to guide the search, where a hypothesis can partially cover an example. We implement our idea in Brute, a new ILP system which uses best-first search, guided by an example-dependent loss function, to incrementally build programs. Our experiments on three diverse program synthesis domains (robot planning, string transformations, and ASCII art), show that Brute can substantially outperform existing ILP systems, both in terms of predictive accuracies and learning times, and can learn programs 20 times larger than state-of-the-art systems.

Abstract:

Abstract After the extraordinary diffusion that we have observed over the last ten years, Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) are nowadays widely recognized as “the unrivalled technical solution for generating electricity from low-medium temperature heat sources of limited capacity” [1]. Despite the high level of confidence and know-how reached about ORCs, they still remain a delicate technology, hiding a great amount of technical difficulties which sometimes still make them a risky investment. Most of these complexities are originated from manifold sources of uncertainty which impact on almost the whole life of the ORC project, from their design to the commissioning and operation steps, with heavy consequences in terms of performance and costs. In this work we present the proof of concept assessing and validating an innovative technique for the robust design optimization (RDO) of ORC under uncertainty. The approach allows to deal with both aleatory and epistemic uncertainty in order to avoid an over-optimization of the system that can result in a high sensitivity to small changes. Because of the large number of sources of uncertainty, the design problem must be solved in a highly multi-dimensional space, spanned by the uncertain and design variables. In such a situation, the “brute-force” Monte-carlo approach [2] is not a viable technique, since it is limited to cheap and excessively simplified models. Consequently, in the present work we consider a more efficient design methodology relying on two nested Bayesian Kriging surrogates.

Abstract:

All structures degrade when acted upon by cyclic forces associated with earthquakes, high winds, and sea waves. Identification and prediction of degradation is thus a problem of considerable practical significance in the field of engineering mechanics. Under cyclic excitations, system degradation manifests itself in the evolution of the associated hysteresis loops. In this paper, a robust identification algorithm is devised to generate hysteretic models of a deteriorating structure from its experimental load-displacement traces. This algorithm is based upon the generalized Bouc-Wen model and the latest theory of differential evolution, streamlined through global sensitivity analysis. It can account for strength degradation, stiffness degradation, and pinching characteristics in the evolution of hysteretic traces, whereby earlier studies in parametric identification of hysteresis are extended. In addition, it is shown experimentally that a hysteretic model obtained by identification can be used to predict the future performance of a degrading structure. Prediction of degradation through identification is a brute-force approach that offers a close representation of reality. There is not any method based upon the fundamental postulates of mechanics that can predict the response of a degrading structure well beyond its linear range.

Abstract:

Rapidly increasing population and migration from rural areas to nearby urban agglomerations develop tremendous pressure on system of the existing cities without compromising socioeconomic and cultural linkages. Policy interventions, both at global and local scale, have created newer avenues for the researchers to explore real-time solutions for problems world-wide. For instance, the outcome of 2015 United Nations agenda for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030 primarily focuses on urbanization issues and probabilistic modelling of future scenarios to obtain a robust alternative for resource utilization and further for maximizing sustainability through land use pattern analysis. This is the clear indication toward the very important role of “ever dormant” urban planning, especially in the case of a rapidly developing country such as India. Remote sensing and geo informatics along with Machine learning can provide extremely relevant information about the pattern change in cities and as input to visualize the future growth pockets. In this context, potential of cellular automata (CA) in urban modelling has been explored by various researchers across the globe. In the recent past, models have been drawing majority of the attention along with geographic CA processes about urban growth and urban sprawl studies. Most recent approaches include optimization of transition rules based on machine learning techniques and evolutionary algorithms that follow nature-inspired mechanism such as Genetic Algorithm, Ant colony optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), simulated annealing, Grey Wolf optimizer etc. Irrespective of any modelling technique, model calibration remains one of the challenging and most crucial steps towards obtaining realistic results. This research communication tries to demonstrate a novel idea of integrating PSO with SLEUTH post calibration of the spatial-temporal footprint of urban growth from the year 1990 to 2017 for Kolkata, a historical megacity of Eastern India. Results were evaluated and validated using statistical fit measuresreveals PSO-SLEUTH performed substantially better compared to traditional Brute Force calibration method (BFM). Another significant development was in terms of computation time of optimized values from days (BFM) to hours (PSO). The study identifies Kolkata region to be sensitive to spread and road gravity coefficients during calibration procedure. Results indicate growth along the transport corridors with multiple agents fuelling the growth. Further, with the aid of high spatial resolution data, buildings were extracted to understand the growth parameters incorporating neural networks. Using the results, renewable energy aspects were explored to harness and provide a suitable local solution for energy issues in energy gobbling cities. Pattern of landscape change, development of better process of modeling and extraction of building from machine learning techniques for planning smart cities with self-sustaining energy is presented in this research work.
