description: Australia's second oldest gaming company, Strategic Studies Group (SSG) was established in 1982 and has been successfully making strategy games for the past thirty years. (Keating, 2014a; Chown, 1997) In that time there have been massive advances in computer graphics technology. From four colour machines to 8-bit colour display, through to millions of colours today. From tiny displays to screens being able to display HDTV and larger. The visual environment for games development and the techniques used to create graphics can be illustrated by examining some of the games that SSG have made over this time. This research paper will examine the evolution of computer graphics technologies and techniques through the screen of SSG. Through a series of interviews with games developer Roger Keating, co-founder and current CEO of Strategic Studies Group; producer Gregor Whiley, art director Alister Lockhart and artist Fiona Chatteur (née Kerr), the history of games graphics, technologies and techniques will be examined. It will draw from contemporary publications by SSG, historical media reports and interviews. Reading SSG’s computer games graphics styles in the context of their technologies situates them as pioneers in Australia’s rich digital heritage.

description: A new proof is given for the correctness of the powers of two descent method for computing discrete logarithms. The result is slightly stronger than the original work, but more importantly we provide a unified geometric argument, eliminating the need to analyse all possible subgroups of $\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$. Our approach sheds new light on the role of $\mathrm{PGL}_2$, in the hope to eventually lead to a complete proof that discrete logarithms can be computed in quasi-polynomial time in finite fields of fixed characteristic.

description: This paper presents a comprehensive optimisation study to maximise the light collection efficiency of scintillating cube elements used in the SoLid detector. Very short baseline reactor experiments, like SoLid, look for active to sterile neutrino oscillation signatures in the anti-neutrino energy spectrum as a function of the distance to the core and energy. Performing a precise search requires high light yield of the scintillating elements and uniformity of the response in the detector volume. The SoLid experiment uses an innovative hybrid technology with two different scintillators: polyvinyltoluene scintillator cubes and $^6$LiF:ZnS(Ag) screens. A precision test bench based on a $^{207}$Bi calibration source has been developed to study improvements on the energy resolution and uniformity of the prompt scintillation signal of antineutrino interactions. A trigger system selecting the 1~MeV conversion electrons provides a Gaussian energy peak and allows for precise comparisons of the different detector configurations that were considered to improve the SoLid detector light collection. The light collection efficiency is influenced by the choice of wrapping material, the position of the $^6$LiF:ZnS(Ag) screen, the type of fibre, the number of optical fibres and the type of mirror at the end of the fibre. This study shows that large gains in light collection efficiency are possible compared to the SoLid SM1 prototype. The light yield for the SoLid detector is expected to be at least 52$\pm$2 photo-avalanches per MeV per cube, with a relative non-uniformity of 6 %, demonstrating that the required energy resolution of at least 14 % at 1 MeV can be achieved.

Opportunistic Communications for Emergency Support
Creators: name: Gorbil, Gokce
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis, we consider the problem of providing emergency support when existing communication infrastructure is unavailable. We propose using opportunistic communications (oppcomms) among mobile devices carried by civilians for the dissemination of emergency information. With oppcomms, devices exchange mes- sages at a close range of a few to tens of meters with limited or no infrastructure and messages are carried over multiple hops in a "store-carry-forward" manner by exploiting human mobility. We specifically look at the evacuation component of emergency response and propose an emergency support system (ESS) based on oppcomms to provide evacuation guidance to civilians in small-scale and large-scale urban emergencies in the absence of other means of communication. We evaluate the evacuation performance of ESS and investigate the communication characteristics of oppcomms for emergency support by simulation experiments. Our evaluations show that ESS improves evacuation by up to 31% and 14% compared to shortest path evacuation in large and small scale emergencies, respectively, and by up to 9% compared to a static-node based building evacuation system. We also investigate the resilience and security of oppcomms for emergency support under node failures and network attacks. We consider insider attacks where some nodes participating in oppcomms are compromised and misbehave. We investigate three different types of misbehaviour, including dropping packets, signal jamming and a hybrid attack on routing and evacuation that uses data falsification. Our evaluations show that node failures up to 20% are well-tolerated, and that data falsification has the most significant effect on evacuation by decreasing performance by up to 54%. In order to improve resilience of the system to such attacks, we propose a collaborative defense mechanism that combines identity-based cryptography and content-based message verification, and show that our defense mechanism improves performance by up to 50% in the presence of attacks.

description: Self-help has the potential to provide low-cost and effective ways of improving access to psychological support for people with tinnitus. When developing and evaluating resources it is important to consider issues that may influence successful implementation. This Survey explored clinicians’ use and views on self-help, and barriers to implementation. An online survey was distributed to 220 UK audiology departments. One-hundred and twenty-four clinicians responded to the survey (91 audiologists, 32 hearing therapists, 1 clinical psychologist), each representing a different tinnitus department. Two-thirds of respondents reported providing or recommending self-help resources. Potential benefits were patient empowerment and providing a means of engaging patients in their care. Almost half of respondents felt that there is insufficient training or guidance for clinicians on using or promoting self-help. Clinicians felt that for patients with low-level tinnitus severity, self-help may reduce the number of audiology appointments required. For patients with more complex needs self-help may be useful to engage with between clinical appointments. Further research is needed to determine effectiveness, who benefits, and by what mechanism, before clinicians can confidently recommend or implement self-help. Clinicians will benefit from formal guidance on promoting and supporting use of self-help for tinnitus.
Assessment of new in vitro and in vivo models for mumps virus replication
Creators: name: Parker, Lauren
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Mumps virus (MuV) is a paramyxovirus which causes mumps, a communicable disease in humans characterised by pain and swelling of the parotid gland(s). Suspected mumps cases are confirmed by PCR detection of MuV nucleotide sequences followed by virus isolation using Vero cells. Veros are the “gold-standard” for MuV isolation however they may select for attenuated or adapted virus variants and produce genetically altered viruses unsuitable for research, although this has never been confirmed. A cell line investigation was performed to assess genetic stability, viral fitness and plaque phenotype of MuV through serial passage in a panel of cell lines including Veros. Primary ex-vivo human airway epithelial cultures were infected with different MuV strains to investigate their susceptibility to MuV. The data presented here shows mutations in MuV introduced during passage through Vero and other continuous cell lines for the first time and suggests alternative cell lines for MuV propagation. HAE cells are demonstrated to be capable of isolating MuV from a clinical sample and producing progeny virus with superior genetic similarity to the parent virus when compared with Vero’s. No animal model exists for MuV therefore in vivo knowledge of the virus is limited. Ferrets are established as a successful model for influenza virus. MuV and influenza share certain biological features such as utilisation of sialic acid as the cellular receptor and both are negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses. This suggests that ferrets may be useful as a MuV model. Ferrets were assessed as an in vivo mumps model by investigation of clinical signs, virus shedding and recovery from tissues, serum antibody response and detectable immune response in PBMCs. The data presented here demonstrate that ferrets elicit a mumps-specific neutralising antibody response and mount a cytokine response consistent with viral infection, however due to lack of clinical symptoms, virus shedding and virus recovery from tissues, the ferret model is very limited in its usefulness for MuV research.
Biochemical analysis of collagen binding by invertebrate SPARC and engineered monomeric decorin
Creators: name: Islam, Mehwaesh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Collagens are a family of extracellular matrix proteins that are critically important for providing structural support to tissues and for regulating cell behaviour. The thesis describes the biochemical analysis of collagen binding by two globular proteins that profoundly influence collagen fibril formation in vivo, decorin and SPARC. Decorin is the archetypal small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan and an important regulator of collagen fibrillogenesis. The crystal structure of decorin, published in 2004, revealed a dimeric structure in which the presumed collagen binding site was not accessible. Whether the dimer is functional has been controversial, however, and it has been claimed that biologically active decorin is monomeric. In order to resolve this controversy, I designed a number of decorin mutants to disrupt the crystallographic dimer, including two mutants which introduced glycosylation sites into the dimer interface. Size exclusion chromatography with multi-angle laser light scattering and analytical ultracentrifugation were used to determine the oligomeric states of decorin and the designed mutants. I found that wild-type decorin dimerises in solution with a dissociation constant of ~1 μM. The mutants with engineered glycosylation sites were pure monomers while other mutants remained dimeric. Thermal unfolding experiments showed that the engineered decorin monomers were as stable as wild-type decorin. Mutations on the concave face of decorin abolished collagen binding, regardless of whether the mutant proteins retained the ability to dimerise or not. Thus the concave face of decorin is involved in collagen binding and the dimer must dissociate in order to bind collagen. The crystal structure of human SPARC bound to a collagen-like triple-helical peptide was determined in the Hohenester lab in 2008. The key collagen binding residues are conserved between human and invertebrate (Drosophila and C. elegans) SPARCs. There is a key difference between the orthologues, however: high-affinity collagen binding to human SPARC requires proteolytic cleavage of an inhibitory loop that is absent from invertebrate SPARCs. To investigate the functional consequences of this structural difference for collagen binding, I compared the interactions of the different SPARCs with collagen I and IV, using solid-phase assays and surface plasmon resonance. I found that invertebrate SPARCs did not bind collagen more tightly than human SPARC, suggesting that the absence of the inhibitory loop does not confer a higher affinity for collagen in invertebrate SPARCs. I made several unsuccessful attempts to crystallise an invertebrate SPARC, including experiments in which the glycan was trimmed by endoglycosidase digestion or removed by mutagenesis of acceptor sites.

description: Einstein Podolsky Rosen quantum correlations are discussed from the perspective of a ghost field introduced by Einstein. The concepts of ghost field, hidden variables, local reality and the Bell inequality are reviewed. In the framework of the correlated singlet state, it is shown that quantum mechanics can be cast in a way that has the form of either nonpositive and local ghost field or a positive and nonlocal ghost field.

description: In this paper, we study the anisotropy of cosmic acceleration the using Pantheon sample, which includes 1048 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) covering the redshift range $0.01 < z < 2.3$. In hemisphere comparison method, we find the dipole direction is $(l = 37 \pm 40^{\circ}, b = 33 \pm 16^{\circ})$ with the maximum anisotropy level of $δ=0.136 {}^{+0.009}_{-0.005}$. From the dipole fitting method, we find that the magnitude of anisotropy is $A = (3.7 {}^{+2.5}_{-3.7}) \times 10^{-4}$, and the direction of the dipole $(l = 329^{\circ}{}^{+ 101^{\circ}}_{-28^{\circ}}, b = 37^{\circ}{}^{+ 52^{\circ}}_{-21^{\circ}})$ in the galactic coordinate system. The result is weakly dependent on redshift from the redshift tomography analysis. The anisotropy is small and the isotropic cosmological model is an excellent approximation.

description: We introduce a statistical quantity, known as the $K$ function, related to the integral of the two--point correlation function. It gives us straightforward information about the scale where clustering dominates and the scale at which homogeneity is reached. We evaluate the correlation dimension, $D_2$, as the local slope of the log--log plot of the $K$ function. We apply this statistic to several stochastic point fields, to three numerical simulations describing the distribution of clusters and finally to real galaxy redshift surveys. Four different galaxy catalogues have been analysed using this technique: the Center for Astrophysics I, the Perseus--Pisces redshift surveys (these two lying in our local neighbourhood), the Stromlo--APM and the 1.2 Jy {\it IRAS} redshift surveys (these two encompassing a larger volume). In all cases, this cumulant quantity shows the fingerprint of the transition to homogeneity. The reliability of the estimates is clearly demonstrated by the results from controllable point sets, such as the segment Cox processes. In the cluster distribution models, as well as in the real galaxy catalogues, we never see long plateaus when plotting $D_2$ as a function of the scale, leaving no hope for unbounded fractal distributions.

description: The Gamma Ray Imaging Spectrometer (GRIS) recently observed the gamma-ray emission from the Galactic center region. We have detected the 1809 keV Galactic 26Al emission at a significance level of 6.8-sigma but have found no evidence for emission at 1173 keV and 1332 keV, expected from the decay chain of the nucleosynthetic 60Fe. The isotopic abundances and fluxes are derived for different source distribution models. The resulting abundances are between 2.6+-0.4 and 4.5+-0.7 Solar Masses for 26Al and a 2-sigma upper limit for 60Fe between 1.7 and 3.1 Solar Masses. The measured 26Al emission flux is significantly higher than that derived from the CGRO/COMPTEL 1.8 MeV sky map. This suggests that a fraction of the 26Al emission may come from extended sources with a low surface brightness that are invisible to COMPTEL. We obtain a 60Fe to 26Al flux ratio 2-sigma upper limit of 0.14, which is slightly lower than the 0.16 predicted from current nucleosynthesis models assuming that SNII are the major contributors to the galactic 26Al. Since the uncertainties in the predicted fluxes are large (up to a factor of 2), our measurement is still compatible with the theoretical expectations.

Coupled approach to modelling damage in bonded composite structures
Creators: name: Done, Robert
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: A fully coupled global-local approach for structural analysis has been developed. It is motivated by the need to use a range of scales and modelling techniques when designing a structure in composite materials. These range from the microscale at which the interfaces between fibres and matrix, or buckling of fibres themselves may play a role in the material behaviour, through intermediate scales where delamination and debonding may have an influence up to the macroscale where entire structures may be modelled with service loads directly applied. The method is based on passing boundary conditions from larger to smaller length scale models while passing information about damage and stiffness degradation up through the scales. By using nested levels of submodel, a greater range of length scales may be included in a single set of coupled analyses. Here an explanation of the methods of coupling two scales of solid models as well as coarse shell models to relatively refined solid models is presented. Each of these methods is validated against equivalent models using established modelling techniques, and are shown to produce results comparable to a complete model at the refined scale and preferable to other global-local approaches. Experimental tests have also been carried out on a stiffened panel with two stiffener runouts undergoing debonding. Not only did the coupling method model these tests accurately, but it was also shown to be more appropriate than simple submodelling in this case. A further demonstration of the techniques is included. The largest scale consisting of a shell element mesh is coupled with an intermediate scale with a continuum shell mesh, which in turn is coupled to a refined scale solid model. This demonstration shows how the methods developed here could be used to unify various analyses in the composites design process which until now have remained separate.

Electrochemical Performance and Compatibility of La2NiO4+δ Electrode Material with La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ Electrolyte for Solid Oxide Electrolysis
Creators: name: Fawcett, Lydia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ (LSGM) is an oxygen ion conducting electrolyte material widely used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). La2NiO4+δ (LNO) is a mixed ionic-electronic conducting layered perovskite with K2NiF4 type structure which conducts oxygen ions via oxygen interstitials. LNO has shown promising results as an SOFC electrode in the literature. In this work the compatibility and performance of LNO electrodes on the LSGM electrolyte material for solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is investigated. The materials were characterised as SOEC/SOFC cells by symmetrical and three electrode electrochemical measurements using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Conductivity and ASR values were obtained in the temperature range 300 – 800oC with varying atmospheres of pH2O and pO2. The cells were also subjected to varied potential bias, mimicking fuel cell or electrolysis use. Enhancement of LNO performance was observed with the application of potential bias in both anodic and cathodic mode of operation in all atmospheres with the exception of cathodic bias in pO2 = 6.5x10-3 atm. In ambient air at 800oC LNO ASRs were 2.82Ω.cm2, 1.83Ω.cm2 and 1.37Ω.cm2 in OCV, +1000mV bias and -1000mV bias respectively. In low pO2 at 800oC LNO ASRs were 9.17Ω.cm2, 1.74Ω.cm2 and 456.9Ω.cm2 in OCV, +1000mV bias and -1000mV bias respectively. The increase in ASR with negative potential bias in low pO2 is believed to be caused by an increase in mass transport and charge transfer impedance responses. Material stability was confirmed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), in-situ high temperature pH2O and pO2 XRD. In-situ XRD displayed single phase materials with no observable reactivity in the conditions tested. Scanning Electron Microscopy images of cells tested by EIS in all atmospheres displayed no microstructure degradation except for those cells tested in a humid atmosphere which display a regular pattern of degradation on the LNO surface attributed to reaction with the Pt mesh current collector.

description: The decay of massive neutrinos to final states containing only invisible particles is poorly constrained experimentally. In this letter we describe the constraints that can be put on neutrino mass and lifetime using CMBR measurements. We find that very tight lifetime limits on neutrinos in the mass range 10 eV - 100 keV can be derived using CMBR data from upcoming satellite measurements.

Functionalised Polymer Fibres for Orthopaedic Interfacial Tissue Engineering and Other Biomedical Applications
Creators: name: Mecklenburg, Gabriel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Tissue engineering is a promising approach for the regeneration of a variety of human tissues, where traditional surgical repairs produce inadequate results or appropriate transplant material is in scarce supply. In orthopaedic tissue engineering, the regeneration of the bone/soft tissue interface is of special interest. However, this requires the creation of biomaterial scaffolds with controlled gradients of biochemical cues, in addition to mimicking the microstructure of the natural tissue. For this purpose, a scheme for the covalent immobilisation of biomolecule gradients on aligned synthetic nanofibre scaffolds created via electrospinning was devised. Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation allows for the controlled growth of a polymer brush containing reactive functional groups on the scaffold surface, specifically poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA), which contains epoxy groups that can conjugate to biomolecules via nucleophiles such as amines or thiols. A PGMA-based biomolecule attachment scheme in a 2D model system was optimised. Creating a brush with a larger inter-chain spacing (by the replacement of a fraction of the ATRP initiator with an inactive molecule), as well as improving its water-swellability by incorporation of a water-soluble monomer (hydroxyethyl methacrylate, HEMA), were shown to increase the amount of peptide that could be bound to the polymer surface. Initial results indicate that this system can be used to create covalently immobilised gradients of biomolecules on aligned electrospun scaffolds. The versatility of the ATRP-based functionalistion approach was further demonstrated by creation of brushes of Poly (2-Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) on electrospun polymer fibres. Due to PMPC’s excellent haemocompatibility, these materials show great promise in vascular tissue engineering.
Nonlinear Fourier Transform of Time-Limited and One-sided Signals

description: In this article, we study the properties of the nonlinear Fourier spectrum in order to gain better control of the temporal support of the signals synthesized using the inverse nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT). In particular, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions satisfied by the nonlinear Fourier spectrum such that the generated signal has a prescribed support. In our exposition, we assume that the support is a simply connected domain that is either a bounded interval or the half-line, which amounts to studying the class of signals which are either time-limited or one-sided, respectively. Further, it is shown that the analyticity properties of the scattering coefficients of the aforementioned classes of signals can be exploited to improve the numerical conditioning of the differential approach of inverse scattering. Here, we also revisit the integral approach of inverse scattering and provide the correct derivation of the so called Töplitz inner-bordering algorithm. Finally, we conduct extensive numerical tests in order to verify the analytical results presented in the article. These tests also provide us an opportunity to compare the performance of the two aforementioned numerical approaches in terms of accuracy and complexity of computations.

Quantum Cryptography with Coherent States

description: The safety of a quantum key distribution system relies on the fact that any eavesdropping attempt on the quantum channel creates errors in the transmission. For a given error rate, the amount of information that may have leaked to the eavesdropper depends on both the particular system and the eavesdropping strategy. In this work, we discuss quantum cryptographic protocols based on the transmission of weak coherent states and present a new system, based on a symbiosis of two existing ones, and for which the information available to the eavesdropper is significantly reduced. This system is therefore safer than the two previous ones. We also suggest a possible experimental implementation.

X-Ray Absorption by the Hot Intergalactic Medium

description: The current census of observed baryons in the local Universe is still missing a significant fraction of them according to standard Big-Bang nucleosynthesis. Numerical simulations predict that most of the missing baryons are in a hot intergalactic medium, which is difficult to observe through its X-ray emission or Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We show that the next generation of X-ray satellites will be able to detect this gas through the X-ray absorption lines imprinted by its highly-ionized metals on the spectrum of a background quasar. For the metallicity typically found in intracluster gas, up to 70% of the baryons produce O VIII absorption lines with an equivalent width >0.1eV. The spectrum of any high redshift quasar is expected to show several such lines per unit redshift due to intervening gaseous halos of galaxy groups. These lines will be detectable at a signal-to-noise ratio >5 after a day of integration with the future Constellation-X telescope for any of the several hundred brightest quasars across the sky.
