Computations of Emissions Using a 3-D Combustor Program
A general 3-D combustor performance program developed by Garrett was extended to predict soot and NOx emissions. The soot formation and oxidation rates were computed by quasi-global models, taking into account the influence of turbulence. Radiation heat transfer was computed by the six-flux radiation mode. The radiation properties include the influence of CO2 and H2O in addition to soot. NOx emissions were computed from a global four-step hydrocarbon oxidation scheme and a set of rate-controlled reactions involving radicals and nitrogen oxides
Quantifying Information Leakage in Finite Order Deterministic Programs
Information flow analysis is a powerful technique for reasoning about the
sensitive information exposed by a program during its execution. While past
work has proposed information theoretic metrics (e.g., Shannon entropy,
min-entropy, guessing entropy, etc.) to quantify such information leakage, we
argue that some of these measures not only result in counter-intuitive measures
of leakage, but also are inherently prone to conflicts when comparing two
programs P1 and P2 -- say Shannon entropy predicts higher leakage for program
P1, while guessing entropy predicts higher leakage for program P2. This paper
presents the first attempt towards addressing such conflicts and derives
solutions for conflict-free comparison of finite order deterministic programs.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure. A shorter version of this paper is submitted to

Effective Three-Body Interactions in Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard Systems
A generalisation of the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model for coupled-cavity
arrays is introduced, where the embedded two-level system in each cavity is
replaced by a -type three-level system. We demonstrate that the resulting
effective polariton-polariton interactions at each site are both two-body and
three-body. By tuning the ratio of the two transition dipole matrix elements,
we show that the strength and sign of the two-body interaction can be
controlled whilst maintaining a three-body repulsion. We then proceed to
demonstrate how different two-body and three-body interactions alter the mean
field superfluid-Mott insulator phase diagram, with the possible emergence of a
pair superfluid phase in the two-body attractive regime.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Scientific Reports;

Wilms Tumour with Intracardiac Extension.
Wilms tumour or nephroblastoma is the most common renal tumour of in children. It accounts for 6% of all pediatric tumours and is the second most frequent intrabdominal solid organ tumour in children. Inferior vena cava (IVC) involvement by Wilms tumour occurs in 4-10% of patients and right atrium thrombus extension in less than 1%. Using a multidisciplinary approach, overall survival is excellent in Wilms tumour. We are presenting this case because Wilms tumour with right atrial thrombus is relatively rare and continues to remain a challenge for treating physicians
An intelligent linked data quality dashboard
This paper describes a new intelligent, data-driven dashboard for linked data quality assessment. The development goal was to assist data quality engineers to interpret data quality problems found when evaluating a dataset us-ing a metrics-based data quality assessment. This required construction of a graph linking the problematic things identified in the data, the assessment metrics and the source data. This context and supporting user interfaces help the user to un-derstand data quality problems. An analysis widget also helped the user identify the root cause multiple problems. This supported the user in identification and prioritization of the problems that need to be fixed and to improve data quality. The dashboard was shown to be useful for users to clean data. A user evaluation was performed with both expert and novice data quality engineers
