Ritual practices, hypnotic suggestions and trance-like states in Swahili written literature
Creators: name: Nicolini, Cristina
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies
Year: 2021

description: This article suggests an interdisciplinary analysis of Swahili written literature from Tanzania through the principles of hypnosis, such as trance-like states, post-hypnotic suggestions, therapeutic metaphors and negative autohypnosis, produced during the performance of traditional ritual practices such as initiation rituals and witchcraft acts. The objective is to illustrate how the hypnotic trance, induced by ritual performances, can be interpreted as a channel to convey Afrocentric knowledge and wisdom. The selected fictional works explored are the following two novels and four plays: Mwendo (Lema 2004), Mirathi ya Hatari (Mung’ong’o 2016), Embe Dodo (Makukula 2015), Kija: Chungu cha Mwanamwari wa Giningi (Kitogo 2009), Kivuli Kinaishi (Mohamed 1990) and Ngoma ya Ng’wanamalundi (Mbogo 2008).

Les noirs dans les dialectes tunisiens : la terminologie de la discrimination de couleur
Creators: name: Ben Amor, Samia
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies
Year: 2021

description: An understanding of the history of slavery is central to the analysis of discrimination against black people in Tunisia. Black community in North Africa is connected to the slave trade. Even though slavery was abolished in Tunisia since 1846, black Tunisians still face discrimination related to their ancestors. This is reflected in the everyday use of words such as ᶜabd or wṣīf [slave], kaḥlūš [a pejorative term for “black”] and šūšān [which translates to “liberated slave”] which are widely used to identify a black person. As we will see, in Tunisian Arabic language blackness as a physical characteristic often hints at an alleged slavery past.

description: The native speakers of the Lampung language are now very much in the minority on their land. The Lampung language that is almost no longer used as a means of communication in the family domain has led to language loss among children and young people in Lampung. Although several studies on the Lampung language maintenance have appeared in the literature, the focus was only restricted to language maintenance in general. As a result, no comprehensive insights and implications appear to exist. Thus, the aim of this paper is to elucidate the issues through a study which focuses on Lampung language maintenance among young people, which was conducted with a quantitative approach. The findings of this study indicate that the Lampung language, like other local languages in Indonesia, has issues that need to be seriously addressed so that it can be still maintained a means of communication. Young families of the native people of Lampung almost no longer use the Lampung language as a means of communication with other family members and relatives. Therefore, to avoid any potential conflict of interest between the Lampung language and the national language, Indonesian, the findings imply that the preservation and maintenance of the Lampung language should be done through a culture-based approach, which emphasizes a sense of pride and love for the Lampung language as cultural wealth and a product of the civilization of native people of Lampung. The limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are also discussed.

description: Galarza, Lachos and Bandyopadhyay (2017) have recently proposed a method of estimating linear quantile mixed models (Geraci and Bottai, 2014) based on a Monte Carlo EM algorithm. They assert that their procedure represents an improvement over the numerical quadrature and non-smooth optimization approach implemented by Geraci (2014). The objective of this note is to demonstrate that this claim is incorrect. We also point out several inaccuracies and shortcomings in their paper which affect other results and conclusions that can be drawn.

A persistent ~1 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation in the dipping low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1323-62

description: We have discovered a ~1 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the persistent-emission, the dips, and the type I X-ray bursts of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1323-62. The rms amplitude of the QPO is approximately 9%, only weakly depending on photon energy. The amplitude is consistent with being constant throughout the persistent-emission, the dips and the bursts in all but one observation, where it is much weaker during one dip. These properties suggest that we have observed a new type of QPO, which is caused by quasi-periodic obscuration of the central X-ray source by a structure in the accretion disk. This can only occur when the binary inclination is high, consistent with the fact that 4U 1323-62 is a dipping source. The quasi-periodic obscuration could take place by partial covering of an extended central X-ray source by a near-opaque medium, or by covering of a point source by a medium of suitable characteristics to produce the relatively energy-independent oscillations.

description: States of a generic quantum field theory on a curved spacetime are considered which satisfy the KMS condition with respect to an evolution associated with a complete (Killing) vector field. It is shown that at any point where the vector field is spacelike, such states cannot satisfy a certain microlocal condition which is weaker than the microlocal spectrum condition in the case of asymptotically free fields.

Phonological evidence for the division of the gǝlǝt dialects of Iraq into šrūgi and non-šrūgi
Creators: name: Hassan, Qasim
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this paper is to provide new insights on the division of the gǝlǝt dialects into šrūgi and non-šrūgi types, which was first proposed in Hassan (forthcoming). This division was an attempt to redraw the map of the gǝlǝt dialects after having observed a correlation between their geographic distribution and the sectarian affiliation of their users. With this backdrop in mind, the present paper will demonstrate two stable isophones that support this division, emphasizing whether these isophones are indigenous premigratory features or non-native postmigratory elements, which gradually infiltrated through at a great extent into some šrūgi dialects from other adjoining šrūgi ones. Moreover, maps that illustrate the pre- and postmigratory distribution of these isophones are also included.

description: The development of advanced surgical systems embedding the Master-Slave control strategy introduced the possibility of remote interaction between the surgeon and the patient, also known as teleoperation. The present paper aims to integrate innovative technologies into the teleoperation process to enhance workflow during surgeries. The proposed system incorporates a collaborative robot, Kuka IIWA LBR, and Hololens 2 (an augmented reality device), allowing the user to control the robot in an expansive environment that integrates actual (real data) with additional digital information imported via Hololens 2. Experimental data demonstrate the user's ability to control the Kuka IIWA using various gestures to position it with respect to real or digital objects. Thus, this system offers a novel solution to manipulate robots used in surgeries in a more intuitive manner, contributing to the reduction of the learning curve for surgeons. Calibration and testing in multiple scenarios demonstrate the efficiency of the system in providing seamless movements.
Information acquisition in physical human-machine interaction
Creators: name: Ogrinc, Matjaž
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Exploration is an active, closed loop process, where actions are coordinated to maximise sensory information gain through perception. Exploratory actions provide complementary and redundant sensory information, which our brain efficiently combines to reduce the uncertainty about the natural environment. As humans increasingly interact with machines, there is a growing need for human-machine interfaces to support natural interactions and efficient information display. The integration of sensory cues allows humans to resolve ambiguities in everyday natural interactions. Here, this mechanism is exploited to enhance information transfer of abstract tactile cues. This thesis develops a feedback method based on vibrotactile apparent motion, where an array of stimulators is excited in a particular spatio-temporal pattern to induce an illusion of motion across the skin. In the proposed approach, the speed of motion is coupled with additional cues to ease the discrimination between similar speeds. The increased throughput of information promises an efficient and convenient way for substitution of auditory or visual navigation cues. Sensory loss and dysfunctions, and cognitive disorders, such as blindness, tactile hypersensitivity and autism, often severely constrain one's ability to function. Assistive technology can greatly improve their life, such as in the case of tactile sensory substitution devices for visually and hearing impaired. However, as sensory impairments sometimes lead to cognitive dysfunctions, it is crucial to consider these relationships when designing assistive devices. Here, a case study investigated the use of vibrotactile cues to communicate with a deafblind autistic individual during equestrian therapy. The approach was validated by evaluating the individual's sensory perception and motor behaviour. Human ability to acquire and act upon sensory information trough touch is possible thanks to simultaneous control of arm motion, force and impedance. This capability remains absent in human machine interactions, such as in the case of VR and telerobotics, due to the complexity of arm impedance estimation. A novel approach is demonstrated here where impedance control is achieved by simplifying the model of human arm use. The benefits are demonstrated in virtual object manipulation. The improved control of contact dynamics promise more efficient exploration of virtual and remote environments. This thesis presents methods for efficient information transfer through tactile perception by both sensory feedback and motor actions. The capabilities and limitations of the human sensorimotor system are carefully considered and employed to design wearable interfaces applied to sensory substitution and telerobotics.
In-silico guided prediction of allosteric sites on proteins: application to cyclin-dependent kinase 2
Creators: name: Greener, Joe
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Allostery is the functional change at one site on a protein caused by a change at a distant site. Despite being discovered more than 50 years ago allostery has remained a mystery, and there is no unified scheme to understand and predict it. In order for the the benefits of allostery to be taken advantage of, both for basic understanding of proteins and to develop new classes of drugs, computational methods to predict allosteric sites on proteins need to be developed and validated. This thesis introduces two computational methods to predict allosteric sites on proteins and describes experiments to validate a predicted allosteric site. The concepts of allostery, allosteric prediction, the protein structural ensemble and protein kinases are explained. AlloPred, which uses perturbation of normal modes alongside pocket descriptors in a machine learning approach to predict allosteric pockets, is introduced. AlloPred shows comparable and complementary performance to two existing methods. The AlloPred web server allows visualisation and analysis of predictions. ExProSE (Exploration of Protein Structural Ensembles), a distance geometry-based method that generates an ensemble of protein structures from two input structures, is described. ExProSE is able to access conformational changes inaccessible to classical molecular dynamics. By adding additional constraints to the method, the effect of allosteric modulators can be predicted. ExProSE is shown to be effective at allosteric site prediction in a systematic comparison of methods. A predicted allosteric pocket on cyclin-dependent kinase 2, a medically-important protein kinase involved in cell cycle regulation, is explored experimentally. Selected compounds from virtual screening are tested in two assays, though no conclusive results are obtained. The development and adoption of methods such as those presented here is essential or the long-preached potential of allostery will remain elusive.

description: Our analysis focus on the dragging effects on the accretion flows and jet emission in Kerr super-spinars. These attractors are characterized by peculiar accretion structures as double tori, or special dragged tori in the ergoregion, produced by the balance of the hydrodynamic and centrifugal forces and also effects of super-spinars repulsive gravity. We investigate the accretion flows, constituted by particles and photons, from toroids orbiting a central Kerr super-spinar. As results of our analysis, in both accretion and jet flows, properties characterizing these geometries, that constitute possible strong observational signatures or these attractors, are highlighted. We found that the flow is characterized by closed surfaces, defining inversion coronas (spherical shell), with null the particles flow toroidal velocity ($u^ϕ=0$) embedding the central singularity. We proved that this region distinguishes proto-jets and accretion driven flows, co-rotating and counter-rotating flows. Therefore in both cases the flow carries information about the accretion structures around the central attractor, demonstrating that inversion points can constitute an observational aspect capable of distinguishing the super-spinars.

Quantum ratchet intermediate band solar cells
Creators: name: Vaquero-Stainer, Anthony Ross
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly more vital as the supply of fossil fuels is depleted, and awareness of the impact of non-sustainable fuel sources on the environment is increasing. A solar cell is an example of one such renewable energy source, which converts sunlight into electricity; providing an eternal, clean energy supply. The concept of converting solar energy into electricity has been around since the late 1800’s [1]; but it wasn’t until well after Einstein’s landmark paper on a completely new quantum theory of light in 1905 [2] that a modern single-junction solar cell was made using a semiconducting p-n junction, as is used today [3]. This type of solar cell, although used almost exclusively in the world today, has a fun- damental efficiency limit of 31% [4]; so despite falling costs of materials and manufacturing, efficiencies have remained relatively low. Intermediate band solar cells, the focus of this project, potentially increase this limit to 47% [5] by attempting to absorb a greater portion of the solar spectrum, without loss of voltage over an equivalent single-junction cell. Examples have been made using quantum dots, however poor efficiencies are reported due to the low absorption cross section of quantum dots and short lived intermediate states, which prevents efficient absorption of low energy photons. This project however, aims to experimentally demonstrate a modification to the inter- mediate band cell, called a “Quantum Ratchet” intermediate band solar cell. This uses the coupled subbands of a quantum well superlattice as the “Quantum Ratchet” state, to increase the absorption cross section, and spatially separate excited electrons from their cor- responding holes to extend the lifetime of the carriers in this state, allowing more efficient absorption of a second photon. The goal of the project is therefore to experimentally demonstrate a photocurrent due to a sequential absorption of two below-bandgap photons, and show an extended lifetime of carriers in the “Quantum Ratchet” state. Presented here will be the theory behind intermediate band solar cells, along with experimental results from a specifically designed “Quantum Ratchet” device which have been submitted for publishing. Also presented are the experimental results from an ‘upconverting’ sample - a process which shows promise as a ‘natural ratchet’, the results of which have been published in Physical Review B [60].

Interfacial phenomena in pharmaceutical process development
Creators: name: Hadjittofis, Eftychios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Interfacial phenomena are of crucial importance in both pharmaceutical process development and drug product development. Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC), is an adsorption-based technique providing a versatile framework for the investigation of interfacial phenomena. In the light of fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, new IGC protocols have been developed enabling the accurate determination of the surface energy and the surface energy heterogeneity of crystalline materials and of the Hansen Solubility Parameter (HSP) of amorphous materials. Experimental and in silico studies are deployed to reveal the importance of sample preparation in the accuracy of IGC measurements. In this context, Monte Carlo simulations were developed to support the experimental findings. The importance of spreading pressure in IGC measurements is investigated as well. A separate chapter discusses the importance of temperature and carrier gas flow rate in the measurement of HSP, of amorphous materials. Results obtained from the three chapters, are used, alongside with the results from complimentary techniques, to investigate the facet specific interactions of copovidone solutions, with macroscopic single crystals of p-monoclinic carbamazepine. Very intriguing findings are reported, highlighting among other things, the correlation between the aggregation behaviour of the polymer and wettability. In the next chapter IGC measurements are deployed, among other techniques, to investigate the mechanism of dehydration induced concomitant polymorphism of carbamazepine dihydrate. As part of this chapter a novel bioinspired crystal growth technique has been developed, enabling the growth of macroscopic hydrates of poorly water-soluble molecules. Overall this thesis, constitutes a unique piece of work combining a plethora of characterisation techniques, with novel in silico tools to investigate interfacial phenomena, of high importance in pharmaceutical industry. It highlights the importance of fundamental notions of surface thermodynamics in the development of an in-depth understanding of interfacial phenomena and it reveals the prospects of IGC as a potential game changer in pharmaceutical process development and drug product development.
Mis/communication and identity in Chang Kuei-hsing’s novella Wandao. Lanhua. Zuolunqiang (1983)

description: This paper analyses Wandao. Lanhua. Zuolunqiang (彎⼑·蘭花·左輪 槍 Machete, Orchid, Revolver) (1983), an early novella by Taiwan-based Sinophone Malaysian (Sarawak) writer Chang Kuei-hsing (張貴興 Zhang Guixing) . A widely read and one of the most respected Sinophone authors, since the 1990s Chang has been known for writing both short and long fiction centred on the trope of the Bornean rainforest, often processing it by means of personal and literary memories. However, through a close reading of the novella, I demonstrate that such a trope was already present in his early writings, albeit in an unprocessed way, being the rainforest a crude environment as well as a shared site of inter-ethnic mis/communication between ethnic Chinese and Malays. Additionally, the novella is Chang Kuei-hsing’s only work of fiction that directly addresses the issue of national identity, thus urging us to examine the ‘Sinophone Malaysian writer’ label he has unproblematically been given, especially considering that the term ‘Malaysian’ most often refers to West Malaysia and marginalises the Bornean states of Sarawak and Sabah. The paper, therefore, seeks to promote a deeper understanding of the multiple factors that should be taken into account when investigating and categorising Sinophone literature by authors who are (or once were) Malaysians.

Kabir and the Avatars

Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies

description: The Indian religious poet Kabir (d. ca. 1518) often referred to his God using Vaishnava names, names that refer to the Hindu god Vishnu. Kabir also uses names for God that are not specific to Vishnu and even uses Muslim names. Vishnu is said to have been incarnated in several earthly avatars. The most important are Krishna and king Ramachandra. A traditional list names ten avatars. Kabir often refers to these earthly avatars, but he minimizes their importance in various ways such as emphasizing the fact that they all died. Most modern scholars have taken Kabir’s use of Vaishnava vocabulary to identify him as a Vaishnava, albeit an unorthodox one. Kabir’s rejection of the avatars and his focus on a supreme God without form or personality tends to put this identification in doubt.

Testing the FR I/BL Lac unifying model with HST observations

Year: 1998

description: Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations provide a novel way of testing unified models for FR I radio sources and BL Lac objects. The detection of extended dust discs in some radio galaxies provides information on their jet orientation. Given this, the strength of the compact nuclear sources of FR I and BL Lacs can be compared with model predictions. As a pilot project, we selected five radio galaxies which show extended nuclear discs in the HST images. The relative orientation of the projected radio-jets and of the extended nuclear discs indicates that they are not perpendicular, as the simplest geometrical model would suggest, but that they form an angle of ~ 20 - 40 degrees with the symmetry axis of the disc: a significant change of orientation occurs between the innermost AGN structure and the kpc-scale. Nevertheless, the discs appear to be useful indicators of the radio sources orientation since the angles formed by the disc axis and the jet with the line of sight differ by only ~ 10 - 20 degrees. At the center of each disc an unresolved nuclear source is present. We compared its luminosity with the optical core luminosity of BL Lacs selected for having similar host galaxy magnitude and extended radio luminosity. The BL Lac cores are between 2 E2 and 3 E5 times brighter than the corresponding radio galaxies ones. The FR I/BL Lac core luminosity ratio shows a suggestive correlation with the orientation of the radio galaxies with respect to the line of sight. The behavior of this ratio is quantitatively consistent with a scenario in which the emission in the FR I and BL Lac is dominated by the beamed radiation from a relativistic jet with Doppler factor ~ 5 - 10, thus supporting the basic features of the proposed unification schemes.

Application of algebraic diagrammatic construction theory with B-spline and gaussian-type basis on static and dynamical electronic systems
Creators: name: Yun, Renjie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: This thesis is focused on the application of an efficient ab initio numerical method based on algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) theory to the calculation of many-electron dynamics in atomic and molecular systems, in the absence or presence of (non-)perturbative laser fields. The first part of the research applies the ADC method to the calculation of Penning ionisation widths. Along with the numerical method, an analytical formula for PI is also derived in the asymptotic regions. The calculations show the exact region of inter-molecular distances, where the electron transfer mechanism in PI is the dominant one. It also shows that the regime of the energy transfer mechanism in PI cannot be reached in collisions even when approaching zero collisional temperature, but might be realised in He droplet environment. The second part of the research applies the ADC method to the calculations of high harmonic generation (HHG) spectra with counter-rotating bi-circular fields in B-spline basis. B-spline basis set is able to accurately describe the strongly oscillating continuum orbitals, such as in the case of HHG processes. Such a task poses a challenge to Gaussian-type basis which will easily run into linear dependence problems for high energy and high resolution calculations. The calculations show that, for He, Ne and Ar, the difference between the intensities of left- and right-circularly polarised harmonics is present at single atom level. The dominant polarisation shifts from left to right around the ionisation potential of the atom. The calculated spectra also suggest that changing the relative intensity of the driving \omega_0 and 2\omega_0 pulses, or varying the time delay between them has limited control over the intensity difference in the spectra at single atom level.

description: We investigate the desiccation crack patterns on the surface of a drying paste made of calcium carbonate (CaCO$_3$) powder and distilled water. Forced vibration of the CaCO$_3$ paste prior to drying results in an anisotropic crack pattern, in which many long cracks develop along a specific preferred direction. We reveal that the preferred direction changes from perpendicular to parallel to the vibration direction at the threshold velocity of vibration. The transition is attributed to the reorientation of constituent particles subjected to the forced oscillatory flow of fluid in the paste.

description: In 1998 May, the soft gamma repeater SGR1900+14 emerged from several years of quiescence and emitted a series of intense bursts, one with a time history unlike any previously observed from this source. Triangulation using Ulysses, BATSE, and KONUS data give a 1.6 square arcminute error box near the galactic supernova remnant G42.8+0.6. This error box contains a quiescent soft X-ray source which is probably a neutron star associated with the soft repeater.

description: Using the volume proposal, we compute the change of complexity of holographic states caused by a small conformal transformation in AdS$_{3}$/CFT$_{2}$. This computation is done perturbatively to second order. We give a general result and discuss some of its properties. As operators generating such conformal transformations can be explicitly constructed in CFT terms, these results allow for a comparison between holographic methods of defining and computing computational complexity and purely field-theoretic proposals. A comparison of our results to one such proposal is given.

On some references of the Buddhapādamaṅgala to the Suttapiṭaka and the Abhidhammapiṭaka
Creators: name: Giustarini, Giuliano
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies
Year: 2021

description: This article compares the Buddhapādamaṅgala, a Pāli work written in the Ayutthaya kingdom probably in the sixteenth century, with the canonical sources (mainly from the Suttapiṭaka and the Abhidhammapiṭaka) that inspired the symbology adopted by the text. The analysis indicates that this symbology, which permeates Buddhist tradition in Thailand, was developed through several stages under the influence of Pāli commentarial literature and of paracanonical texts such as the Milindapañha.

Ibn Baṭṭūṭa’s “Prayer of Damascus:” A window on to Damascus in the hell of the Black Death (Part 1)
Creators: name: Tresso, Claudia M.
Publisher: name: Kervan. International Journal of African and Asian Studies
Year: 2021

description: Ibn Baṭṭūṭa’s famous Riḥla [(Chronicle of) Travels] is probably the only work of medieval travel literature whose protagonist claims to have personally witnessed the plague pandemic known as the Black Death, which ravaged the Mediterranean world between 1348-1350 (and continued in subsequent waves). The passages describing the scourge include the story of a rogatory – and ecumenical prayer held in Damascus in July 1348. This is probably the most often mentioned passage of the Riḥla, the most quoted in the studies on the Black Death in the Middle East, as well in those on relations between religious groups in the Mamluk empire. Nevertheless, to this day it has not yet been the subject of in-depht analysis. This article is an endeavour to contribute to both the studies on Ibn Baṭṭūṭa’s Riḥla and the Black Death by analysing the story of the Damascus prayer in its historical context and literary aspects, i.e., by answering the questions: how does the story fit into the climate of the pandemic in general and into Ibn Baṭṭūṭa’s Riḥla in particular? What are its lexical and narrative characteristics? Moving from the story to the narrated event leads to the question on relations between the different religious groups that took part in the rite. Moreover, how did Islamic scholars interpret the prayer gathering? Since the Riḥla is not a chronicle but a narrative work, another question arises: to what extent is its information reliable? The answer will be found by comparing it with the main Middle Eastern Arabic sources of the 14th and 15th centuries, which are mostly Chronicle texts. The concluding paragraph investigates whether the story of the Damascus prayer derives from Ibn Baṭṭūṭa’s personal testimony, as he claims in the Riḥla, or whether he (or the editor of the work, Ibn Juzayy) might have taken the information from other sources.

description: We present model X-ray spectra of accreting black holes with advection-dominated accretion flows, paying attention to thermal emission lines from the hot plasma. We show that the Advanced X-ray Astrophysical Facility (AXAF) might be able to observe lines from X-ray binaries such as V404 Cyg in quiescence, the Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A*, and the nuclei of nearby galaxies such as M87. Line intensities can provide new diagnostics to study the accreting plasma in these and related systems.

In vivo and in vitro behaviour of bioactive glass scaffolds
Creators: name: Shi, Xiaomeng
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Bioactive glass scaffolds have the ability to support the regeneration of bone defects as they form a rapid bond with bone and their dissolution products can stimulate new bone formation. A previous in vitro study of ICIE16 foam bioactive glass scaffolds (49.46% SiO2, 36.60% CaO, 6.60% Na2O, 1.07% P2O5, and 6.60 K2O in mol%) by Nommeots-Nomm et al. showed the rapid formation of a calcium-phosphate rich layer thatmineralised into hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA), which has similar composition to the mineral phase of bone. Although foam scaffold pore networks mimic the architecture of cancellous bone, control of pore size and strut size is limited. Nommeots-Nomm et al. also employed the robocasting technique which enabled precisely control of pore morphology and strut size. In this study, the printed ICIE16 scaffolds were used as templates for in vitro synthesis of bone tissue using human bone marrow derived stem cells (hBMSC). The printed ICIE16 scaffolds stimulated osteogenic differentiation of the hBMSCs under both basal and osteogenic conditions. Two types of ICIE16 bioactive scaffolds (foam versus printed) with similar interconnected pore sizes were evaluated using a rabbit femoral head defect model to investigate the effect of pore morphology. The printed group showed similar bone ingrowth 23.64 ± 3.62% than the foam and control group and the printed scaffolds were not fully degraded after 10 weeks. A new composition of glass (49.5% SiO2, 30.5% Ca2O, 4.0% Na2O, 4.5% P2O5, 4.0% K2O and 7.5 MgO in mol.%) together with a control group with half of the calcium substituted by strontium was synthesised and fabricated into 3D scaffolds using robocasting techniques. In vitro analysis was completed to understand the effect of strontium on dissolution behaviour and HCA formation. Incorporation of strontium in a glass system was shown to reduce the increase in pH of the SBF solution and inhibit the dissolution rate of the modifier ions.
Quality-aware incentivisation for mobile crowd services
Creators: name: Shi, Fengrui
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: With the proliferation of mobile devices, mobile crowd participants have become one of the important providers for data and services. For example, mobile crowd sensing systems are designed to perform various tasks from environmental monitoring to traffic management by using the data collected through consumer mobile devices. In addition, the recent development of device to device (D2D) communications enables another kind of mobile crowd systems that offer data and computation offloading services in mobile peer to peer (P2P) networks. To provide mobile crowd services (MCS), mobile crowd participants may have to contribute their personal mobile resources, such as data, communication and computation resources. This could result in excessive resource consumption on their mobile devices and cause potential privacy issues. As a result, incentive mechanisms must be carefully designed into MCS systems in order to encourage the participation of mobile users despite these negative factors. Besides, quality of service (QoS) is also an essential driver to the practical and sustainable deployment and operation of MCS and building QoS awareness into the incentive mechanisms ensures that the limited monetary resources could be used to elicit the best QoS from mobile crowd participants. Therefore, in this thesis, we approach the incentivisation problems for MCS from a quality-aware perspective. We focus on two typical MCS systems - mobile crowd sensing services (MCSS) and mobile P2P crowd services (MPCS). Although heterogeneous services are offered through these MCS systems, their incentive mechanisms can be built systematically since they all pose similar challenges in terms of quality model design, economic activity modelling, and system deployment. For MCSS, the focus of this thesis is on data quality issues and we propose incentive mechanisms that incorporate data quality models into cooperative game theoretical frameworks. As for MPCS, communication and execution quality are modeled and built into specially structured data trading and offloading incentive mechanisms. This thesis emphasises both theoretical and practical aspects of MCS systems. From the theoretical point of view, the incentive mechanisms proposed in this thesis are designed based on various game theoretical and economic models. From the practical point of view, system prototypes are deployed to evaluate the performance of MCS and corresponding incentive mechanisms based on both QoS and economic impact.
