description: Το βιβλίο αυτό αποτελεί μια εισαγωγή στη μελέτη των Μη Γραμμικών Συστημάτων και απευθύνεται σε προπτυχιακούς φοιτητές 3ου- 4ου έτους των Θετικών Επιστημών ή Μηχανικών. Επίσης θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί και ως βάση σε ένα αντίστοιχο μάθημα ενός Μεταπτυχιακού Προγράμματος Σπουδών.
 Το βιβλίο έχει ως στόχο να κατανοήσει ο φοιτητής τις βασικές μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιούμε στα δυναμικά συστήματα, τα όριά τους, την έννοια της ευστάθειας και ποιες είναι οι αναγκαίες συνθήκες για να παρουσιαστεί πολύπλοκη συμπεριφορά. Επειδή η αναλυτική μαθηματική προσέγγιση ενός δυναμικού συστήματος εν’ γένει είναι δύσκολη για ένα προπτυχιακό φοιτητή, εστιάζουμε σε υπολογιστικές τεχνικές. Χρησιμοποιούμε το Mathematica (ή το ελεύθερο λογισμικό Mathics) το οποίο συνδυάζει με εύκολο τρόπο αναλυτικούς και αριθμητικούς υπολογισμούς καθώς και γραφικά.

 Το βιβλίο αρχικά διαπραγματεύεται απλά μηχανικά συστήματα και γενικότερα αυτόνομα συνεχή συστήματα σε δύο διαστάσεις. Περιγράφονται αναλυτικά τα βασικά σημεία της δυναμικής όπως, σημεία ισορροπίας, ευστάθεια, χαρακτηριστικά της τοπολογίας του χώρου φάσεων, διακλαδώσεις περιοδικές λύσεις και οριακοί κύκλοι. Τα χαρακτηριστικά αυτά περιγράφονται, κυρίως υπολογιστικά, και για συστήματα τριών διαστάσεων. Για τα μη αυτόνομα συστήματα, μένουμε στη μια διάσταση και σε συστήματα ταλαντωτών με εξωτερική περιοδική διαταραχή. Περιγράφονται οι πιθανές περιπτώσεις συμπεριφοράς (περιοδικές ή ημιπεριοδικές ταλαντώσεις, οριακοί κύκλοι, χαοτική συμπεριφορά)

Το δεύτερο μέρος του βιβλίου αναφέρεται σε διακριτά συστήματα μιας και δύο διαστάσεων. Μελετάμε τα σταθερά και περιοδικά τους σημεία καθώς και τη γραμμική
τους ευστάθεια. Μέσα από κλασσικά συστήματα (όπως η λογιστική απεικόνιση) δείχνουμε τη μετάβαση από την τάξη στο χάος και δίνουμε την ιδιότητα του χάους με αυστηρό μαθηματικό ορισμό. Στο τέλος παρουσιάζουμε την απεικόνιση του πετάλου του Smale και την δημιουργία του ομοκλινικού πλέγματος σε διατηρητικές απεικονίσεις.
The Infrared Luminosity Function of Galaxies in the Coma Cluster

description: An infrared survey of the central 650 arcmin$^2$ of the Coma cluster is used to determine the $H$ band luminosity function for the cluster. Redshifts are available for all galaxies in the survey with $H < 14.5$, and for this sample we obtain a good fit to a Schechter function with $H^*=11.13$ and $α=-0.78$. These luminosity function parameters are similar to those measured for field galaxies in the infrared, which is surprising considering the very different environmental densities and, presumably, merger histories for field galaxies. For fainter galaxies, we use two independent techniques to correct for field galaxy contamination in the cluster population: the $B-R$ color-magnitude relation and an estimate for the level of background and foreground contamination from the literature. Using either method we find a steep upturn for galaxies with $14 < H < 16$, with slope $α\simeq 1.7$.

Kinematic model-independent reconstruction of Palatini $f(R)$ cosmology

description: A kinematic treatment to trace out the form of $f(R)$ cosmology, within the Palatini formalism, is discussed by only postulating the universe homogeneity and isotropy. To figure this out we build model-independent approximations of the luminosity distance through rational expansions. These approximants extend the Taylor convergence radii computed for usual cosmographic series. We thus consider both Padé and the rational Chebyshev polynomials. They can be used to accurately describe the universe late-time expansion history, providing further information on the thermal properties of all effective cosmic fluids entering the energy momentum tensor of Palatini's gravity. To perform our numerical analysis, we relate the Palatini's Ricci scalar with the Hubble parameter $H$ and thus we write down a single differential equation in terms of the redshift $z$. Therefore, to bound $f(R)$, we make use of the most recent outcomes over the cosmographic parameters obtained from combined data surveys. In particular our clue is to select two scenarios, i.e. $(2,2)$ Padé and $(2,1)$ Chebyshev approximations, since they well approximate the luminosity distance at the lowest possible order. We find that best analytical matches to the numerical solutions lead to $f(R)=a+bR^n$ with free parameters given by the set $(a, b, n)=(-1.627, 0.866, 1.074)$ for $(2,2)$ Padé approximation, whereas $f(R)=α+βR^m$ with $(α, β, m)=(-1.332, 0.749, 1.124)$ for $(2,1)$ rational Chebyshev approximation. Finally, our results are compared with the $Λ$CDM predictions and with previous studies in the literature. Slight departures from General Relativity are also discussed.

Nonlinear wavelength conversion with optical fibre based technology
Creators: name: Murray, Robert T.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: It is no exaggeration to state that the low-loss optical fibre has revolutionised the way in which we as a society lead our lives. The transfer and management of vast tracts of data generated minute by minute world over is only possible due to the development of the optical fibre and corresponding optical amplifiers, necessary for the implementation of telecommunications networks over large distances. Outside of the telecommunications sphere, the optical fibre has also made a huge impact on the laser market in the past three decades, due to the inherently robust nature and alignment-free operation of fibre based devices. Fibre lasers have now penetrated into the manufacturing market, and are finding increasing applications in numerous areas from medicine to defence. Typical fibre laser sources are constrained to operate in the emission bands of common rare-earth dopants, such as, ytterbium, erbium, or thulium. However, it is possible to extend the spectral coverage of standard fibre lasers through nonlinear conversion techniques. The temporal properties of pulsed laser sources, can be similarly manipulated, through the combined management of nonlinearity and dispersion. The work presented in this thesis is based upon these two themes of spectral and temporal diversity. Firstly, I will examine fibre-based parametric wavelength conversion, demonstrating fibre laser sources in the visible and near-visible spectral regions, suitable for bio-photonics imaging applications. Secondly, I will look at fibre-based nonlinear chirped pulse amplification, in particular, the design and implementation of a femtosecond μJ level source for future experiments in nonlinear optics. Both areas of research are tied together by the common thread of utilising new and emerging optical fibre based technology for nonlinear wavelength conversion.

description: One- and two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of neutrino-driven supernova explosions are discussed. The simulations cover the phase between the stagnation of the prompt shock and about one second after core bounce. Systematic variation of the neutrino fluxes from the neutrino sphere shows that the explosion energy, explosion time scale, initial mass of the protoneutron star, and explosive nucleosynthesis of iron-group elements depend sensitively on the strength of the neutrino heating during the first few 100 ms after shock formation. Convective overturn in the neutrino-heated region behind the shock is a crucial help for the explosion only in a narrow window of neutrino luminosities. Here powerful explosions can be obtained only in the multi-dimensional case. For higher core-neutrino fluxes also spherically symmetrical models yield energetic explosions, while for lower luminosities even with convection no strong explosions occur.

description: The defining characteristic of an exceptional point (EP) in the parameter space of a family of operators is that upon encircling the EP eigenstates are permuted. In case one encircles multiple EPs, the question arises how to properly compose the effects of the individual EPs. This was thought to be ambiguous. We show that one can solve this problem by considering based loops and their deformations. The theory of fundamental groups allows to generalize this technique to arbitrary degeneracy structures like exceptional lines in a three-dimensional parameter space. As permutations of three or more objects form a non-abelian group, the next question that arises is whether one can experimentally demonstrate this non-commutative behavior. This requires at least two EPs of a family of operators that have at least 3 eigenstates. A concrete implementation in a recently proposed $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric waveguide system is suggested as an example of how to experimentally check the composition law and show the non-abelian nature of non-hermitian systems with multiple EPs.

Star Formation Histories of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies

description: 40 galaxies are currently known as, or suspected to be Local Group members within a radius of 1.8 Mpc. 37 of these galaxies are dwarf galaxies with M_B > -18.5 mag. I present a compilation of the star formation histories of dwarf irregulars, dwarf ellipticals, and dwarf spheroidals in the Local Group, and visualize their evolutionary histories through Hodge's population boxes. The study of these star formation histories is a multi-parameter problem: Ages, metallicities, population fractions, and spatial variations must be determined, which depend crucially on the knowledge of reddening and distance. Even the lowest-mass dwarf spheroidal galaxies can show significant spatial variations in star formation, ages, and metallicities. All Local Group dwarf galaxies appear to contain old (>10 Gyr) and intermediate-age (1-10 Gyr) populations irrespective of morphological type. No two galaxies are alike. They vary widely in star formation histories, metallicities, fractions, and ages of their subpopulations even within the same morphological type. Star formation has occurred either in distinct episodes or continuously over long periods of time.

description: Aims:  Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are often resistant to standard care. Immunosuppressive drugs such as sirolimus (SIR) and tacrolimus (TAC) have shown to be effective. They do, however, have side effects that restrict their use. Metformin (MET), which is an antidiabetic drug, has promising anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, this study aimed to validate the effect of the concomitant administration of MET and SIR or TAC in the management of experimentally induced colitis. Study Design: Dextran sulphate (DSS) induced colitis model was used. Methodology: Colitis was induced by administering 5% DSS in water twice daily via oral gavage for 9 days. MET 200 mg/kg alone or in combination with SIR 1 mg/kg or TAC 1 mg/kg was started on day 7 and was continuously administered for 12 days. Then, samples of distal colon tissues were collected for histopathological and immunohistochemistry staining. Then, the pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-17A levels in tissue homogenates were measured. Results: MET, SIR or TAC significantly attenuated the effect of DSS and the levels of all pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, adding MET reinforces the effect of SIR and TAC. Conclusion: MET had a strong anti-inflammatory effect against DSS-induced colitis. Hence, it could be a promising adjuvant therapy in the management of IBDs. The effect was mediated, in part, by inhibiting NF-κB activation. Given the magnitude of the efficacy of MET and its safety profile, this finding can be used as a basis for pilot clinical trials that aim to evaluate the effect of MET on IBD. However, the results of this study must be further validated and translated to clinical implications.

description: Thermophilic proteins (TPPs) are critical for basic research and in the food industry due to their ability to maintain a thermodynamically stable fold at extremely high temperatures. Thus, the expeditious identification of novel TPPs through computational models from protein sequences is very desirable. Over the last few decades, a number of computational methods, especially machine learning (ML)-based methods, for in silico prediction of TPPs have been developed. Therefore, it is desirable to revisit these methods and summarize their advantages and disadvantages in order to further develop new computational approaches to achieve more accurate and improved prediction of TPPs. With this goal in mind, we comprehensively investigate a large collection of fourteen state-of-the-art TPP predictors in terms of their dataset size, feature encoding schemes, feature selection strategies, ML algorithms, evaluation strategies and web server/software usability. To the best of our knowledge, this article represents the first comprehensive review on the development of ML-based methods for in silico prediction of TPPs. Among these TPP predictors, they can be classified into two groups according to the interpretability of ML algorithms employed (i.e., computational black-box methods and computational white-box methods). In order to perform the comparative analysis, we conducted a comparative study on several currently available TPP predictors based on two benchmark datasets. Finally, we provide future perspectives for the design and development of new computational models for TPP prediction. We hope that this comprehensive review will facilitate researchers in selecting an appropriate TPP predictor that is the most suitable one to deal with their purposes and provide useful perspectives for the development of more effective and accurate TPP predictors.

description: We created Staphopia, an analysis pipeline, database and Application Programming Interfacefor batch analysis of thousands of S. aureus Illumina whole genome shotgun projects. Writtenin Python, Staphopia’s analysis pipeline consists of submodules running open-source tools. Itaccepts raw FASTQ reads as an input, which undergo quality control filtration, errorcorrection and reduction to a maximum of approximately 100x chromosome coverage. Thisreduction significantly reduces total runtime without detrimentally affecting the results. Thepipeline performs de novo assembly-based and mapping-based analysis. Automated genecalling and annotation is performed on the assembled contigs. Read-mapping is used to callvariants (single nucleotide polymorphisms and insertion/deletions) against a reference S.aureus chromosome (N315, ST5). We ran the analysis pipeline on more than 43,000 S. aureusshotgun Illumina genome projects in the public European Nucleotide Archive database inNovember 2017. We found that only a quarter of known multi-locus sequence types (STs)were represented but the top ten STs made up 70% of all genomes. Methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA) were 64% of all genomes. Using the Staphopia database we selected 380 highquality genomes deposited with good metadata, each from a different multi-locus sequencetype, as a non-redundant diversity set for studying S. aureus evolution. In addition toanswering basic science questions, Staphopia could serve as a potential platform for rapidclinical diagnostics of S. aureus isolates in the future. The system could also be adapted as atemplate for other organism-specific databases.

Ar-Ar geochronology can be a powerful tool to extract information about the thermal history and cooling paths of high-grade metamorphic terranes. It is frequently assumed that Ar-Ar dates from such terranes reflect mineral-specific ‘closure temperatures’, formulated according to Dodson’s equation of thermal diffusion. However, this equation is only valid under certain conditions and requires validation of its underlying assumptions before it can be applied with confidence.

The Agly Massif, southern France, is a perfect example of a metamorphic terrane where a re-evaluation of the thermochronology is appropriate. The ~10-15 km long transect from the upper to the lower crust experienced a high temperature low pressure (HTLP) metamorphic imprint during Hercyninan time. However, U-Pb monazite and apatite ages, as well as Ar-Ar biotite and muscovite ages, were unambiguously interpreted as cooling ages and linked to Cretaceous exhumation. 

The main aim of this research is to investigate if the Ar-Ar geochronology of the Agly Massif does indeed reflects thermally activated volume diffusion or if other processes are more likely to explain the apparent Cretaceous overprint. To this end, we combine new in-situ and single-grain fusion Ar-Ar ages of biotite and muscovite from six representative samples throughout the area. Moreover, we compare these ages to diffusional models and evaluate them against detailed petrography and probe data.

Preliminary results indicate that single-grain muscovite and biotite ages define a range between ~115-95 Ma, with no statistical difference between the two minerals. This range cannot be explained by the internal uncertainty of the samples and cannot be mimicked through diffusional modelling, despite widely different PTt inputs. Petrographic observations reveal multiple retrograde reactions involving both feldspars and micas, despite many HTLP textures still prevailing. Our current view is that deformation and recrystallization significantly affected the Ar-Ar geochronology of the Agly Massif, governed through the local release and uptake of metamorphic fluids.

Modelling the diversity and persistence of the human T-lymphotropic virus type-1

description: Human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infects approximately 10-20 million people worldwide. The virus persists within hosts via de novo infection and infected cell proliferation, creating a population structure of multiple clones (infected cell populations with identical genomic proviral integration sites). The number of clones in one host is unknown, and is determined by the rate of de novo infection. Our primary objectives are: i) to estimate HTLV-1 clonal diversity; and ii) to develop a model of HTLV-1 dynamics that can estimate the relative contributions of de novo infection and mitotic replication. We use a combination of mathematical modelling, computer simulation and statistical methods to interpret experimental observation. We develop an estimator (named DivE) to estimate the number of HTLV-1 clones. DivE uses the ecological method of rarefaction, and includes novel model selection criteria. We show that DivE is more accurate than widely-used estimators from population ecology, and we demonstrated that this holds across many systems. Differences between these systems and ecological populations are investigated, and DivE is applied to patients with a range of HTLV-associated diseases. HTLV-1 clonal abundance varies by several orders of magnitude: quantifying within-host HTLV-1 dynamics requires mathematical modelling at multiple scales. Stochastic processes, important for modelling small populations, are introduced, and we explore properties and approximations of a mass-action birth-death process for biologically realistic species extinction scenarios. We combine ordinary differential equations with stochastic processes in a hybrid model and explore its consequences. The estimated HTLV-1 clonal diversity is substantially higher than previously thought, which strongly implies higher rates of de novo infection. The hybrid model captures known behaviour of HTLV-1, and can be used to infer rates of viral persistence. DivE and the hybrid model are applicable to other biological systems, in particular the study of T and B cell receptor repertoires.

Development of a conceptual design tool for mechanism design
Creators: name: Jiang, Pingfei
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Engineering design can be seen as a problem solving process in which engineers and designers convert their thoughts and ideas into real-life designs satisfying market and customer needs. The conceptual design process is crucial in engineering product design since it determines fundamental design features with respect to design requirements. Any decisions made at this stage have a significant impact on later stages of design. However, connection between system functional requirements and selection of actual mechanical components in mechanism designs is severely lacking. With the purpose filling this gap and assisting engineers and designers to obtain in-depth understanding on commonly seen mechanisms and machine elements a database (MMET) was established and programmed containing detail information of these components including technical functional attributes, movement attributes, pictures/drawings and merit analysis. A conceptual design tool built on MMET was then developed aiming to help the user to explore a broad range of mechanical components regarding system requirements. The database and conceptual design tool were validated and improved through industrial case studies which suggest the addition of Function Means tree and Functional Analysis Diagram. The value of MMET and the new conceptual design tool are indicated via positive outcomes of case studies, asserting their capability of offering assistance in understanding engineering product functions and how these functions are achieved, enabling comparisons regarding same functional requirements and finally providing opportunities for conceptual design improvements based on a cyclic process containing detail functional analysis, function-means tree construction and design optimisation.

description: Musicality can be thought of as a property of sound that emerges when specific organizational parameters are present. We hypothesize that this property is not binary (where an auditory object is or is not a musical object), but rather exists on a continuum whereby some auditory objects may be considered more or less musi- cal than other auditory objects. We suggest that identification of an auditory object as being more musical than another begins with a modularized analysis of features that coheres into a holistic interpre- tation. To explore this, we designed two experiments. In the first, 30 subjects evaluated 50 ten-tone sequences according to how musical they thought they were. A special stimulus set was designed that controlled for timbre, pitch content, pitch range, rhythm, note and sequence length, and loudness. Mean z-scored stimulus ratings showed significantly distinct groupings of musical versus non- musical sequences. In the second, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the ratings yielded three components that explain a statisti- cally significant proportion of variance in the ratings. The stimuli were analyzed in terms of parameters such as key correlation, range, and contour. These values were correlated with the eigenvalues of the significant PCA components in order to determine the dominant strategies listeners use to make decisions about musicality.

description: The detection of an afterglow, following a gamma-ray burst (GRB), can be described reasonably well by synchrotron emission from a relativistic spherical expanding blast wave, driven by an expanding fireball. We perform detailed calculations considering the emission from the whole region behind the shock front. We use the Blandford McKee self similar adiabatic solution to describe the fluid behind the shock. Using this detailed model, we derive expressions for the peak flux, and the peak frequency at a given observed time. These expressions provide important numerical corrections to previous, more simplified models. We calculate the observed light curve and spectra for several magnetic field models. We show that both the light curve and the spectra are flat near the peak. This rules out the interpretation of the optical peak of GRB970508 as the peak of the light curve, predicted by the existing fireball models. We calculate the observed image of a GRB afterglow. The observed image is bright near the edge and dimmer at the center, thus creating a ring. The contrast between the edge and the center is larger at high frequencies and the width of the ring is smaller.

Stochastic Nonlinear Galaxy Biasing

description: We propose a general formalism for galaxy biasing and apply it to methods for measuring cosmological parameters, such as regression of light versus mass, the analysis of redshift distortions, measures involving skewness and the cosmic virial theorem. The common linear and deterministic relation g=b*d between the density fluctuation fields of galaxies g and mass d is replaced by the conditional distribution P(g|d) of these random fields, smoothed at a given scale at a given time. The nonlinearity is characterized by the conditional mean =b(d)*d, while the local scatter is represented by the conditional variance s_b^2(d) and higher moments. The scatter arises from hidden factors affecting galaxy formation and from shot noise unless it has been properly removed. For applications involving second-order local moments, the biasing is defined by three natural parameters: the slope b_h of the regression of g on d, a nonlinearity b_t, and a scatter s_b. The ratio of variances b_v^2 and the correlation coefficient r mix these parameters. The nonlinearity and the scatter lead to underestimates of order b_t^2/b_h^2 and s_b^2/b_h^2 in the different estimators of beta (=Omega^0.6/b_h). The nonlinear effects are typically smaller. Local stochasticity affects the redshift-distortion analysis only by limiting the useful range of scales, especially for power spectra. In this range, for linear stochastic biasing, the analysis reduces to Kaiser's formula for b_h (not b_v), independent of the scatter. The distortion analysis is affected by nonlinear properties of biasing but in a weak way. Estimates of the nontrivial features of the biasing scheme are made based on simulations and toy models, and strategies for measuring them are discussed. They may partly explain the range of estimates for beta.

description: Οι χώροι γραφείων αποτελούν μια θεματική περιοχή με ελάχιστη ελληνική βιβλιογραφία. Το βιβλίο αυτό στοχεύει στην κάλυψη αυτού του κενού, προσφέροντας υλικό, το οποίο αναφέρεται στην ιστορική εξέλιξη αυτών των χώρων, τα σύγχρονα οργανωτικά μοντέλα του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού, τη λειτουργική δομή, αλλά κυρίως τους τύπους χωρικής οργάνωσης.
Η δυνατότητα του κτιριακού κελύφους να υποστηρίζει διαφορετικά οργανωτικά μοντέλα, συνεπάγεται την προσαρμογή του εσωτερικού χώρου σε διαφορετικούς τρόπους σχεδιασμού. Έτσι ο σχεδιασμός αυτών των χώρων περιλαμβάνει τα χωρικά μέρη του έργου: το κτιριακό κέλυφος, τα διαρθρωτικά στοιχεία του εσωτερικού χώρου-δάπεδα, τοίχους, διαχωριστικά και οροφές,τις ηλεκτρομηχανολογικές εγκαταστάσεις με έμφαση στο σχεδιασμό του φωτισμού, καθώς και την επίπλωση και τα υλικά, ως στοιχείων του σκηνικού.
Η εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας ανέδειξε νέους τρόπους εργασίας, συνδέοντας τους με σύγχρονες μεταπλάσεις στους χώρους και νέες συνθήκες που υπαγορεύονται σε αυτούς. Στα πλαίσια αυτά αναφέρονται το αυτοματοποιημένο και το εικονικό γραφείο, το εναλλακτικό και το ατομικό γραφείο, το περιβαλλοντικά φιλικό γραφείο, ενώ γίνεται μια επισκόπηση και παρουσίαση επιλεγμένων χώρων από την Ελληνική πραγματικότητα ως παραδειγμάτων των νέων μοντέλων.
Abelian profinite groups and the discontinuous isomorphism problem
Creators: name: Kiehlmann, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: We investigate the question: ``Can there be a non-continuous isomorphism between two profinite groups which are not topologically isomorphic?" On one end of the spectrum, we show that branch and semisimple profinite groups have no non-continuous automorphisms. On the other, many abelian pro-$p$ groups are abstractly but not topologically isomorphic. The question for countably-based profinite groups was totally answered in a previous publication. There are many examples of such groups which are abstractly but not topologically isomorphic: we give explicit constructions of such non-topological isomorphisms We used Pontryagian duality to reduce the question of classifying countably based abelian pro-$p$ groups to that of countable abelian $p$-groups. In the 1930s Ulm and Zippin classified countable abelian $p$-groups. This work was expanded in the 1970s, to give the theory of totally projective abelian $p$-groups. We survey the structural theory of these groups and construct their duals, the totally injective groups. These provide more positive answers to our question: every dual-reduced totally injective pro-$p$ group is abstractly isomorphic to the closure of its torsion subgroup, although in most cases these groups are not topologically isomorphic. We proceed to give a detailed discussion on the features of the abstract and of the topological subgroup structures of such groups. We introduce a new invariant, unbounded multiplicity, of Cartesian products of finite $p$-groups, in the above proof. This allows us to use infinite combinatorial arguments which give more results. Two of these Cartesian groups are isomorphic modulo their torsion subgroups if and only if they have the same unbounded multiplicity. A totally injective pro-$p$ group will be abstractly isomorphic to its closed torsion subgroup whenever the unbounded multiplicity of this subgroup bounds the dimension of continuous torsion-free quotients. Additionally, we construct a new class of commutative, unital pro-$p$ rings. For each totally injective abelian pro-$p$ group $G$, we construct a pro-$p$ ring $R$ with $(R,+)=G$.
