description: Background: In 2016, nearly 45,000 deaths in the United States were attributed to suicide making this the 10th leading cause of death for all ages. National survey data suggest that among Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), including firefighters and Paramedics, rates of suicide are significantly higher than among the general public. EMTs face high levels of acute and chronic stress as well as high rates of depression and substance abuse, which increase their risk of suicide. Objective/Aim: To determine the statewide Mortality Odds Ratio (MOR) of suicide completion among EMTs as compared to non-EMTs in Arizona. Methods: We analyzed the Arizona Vital Statistics Information Management System Electronic Death Registry of all adult (≥18) deaths between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2015. Manual review of decedent occupation was performed to identify the EMT cohort; all other deaths were included in the non-EMT cohort. Using the underlying cause of death as the outcome, we calculated the MOR of both the EMT and non-EMT cohorts. Results: There were a total of 350,998 deaths during the study period with 7,838 categorized as suicide. The proportion of deaths attributed to suicide among EMTs was 5.2% (63 of 1,205 total deaths) while the percentage among non-EMTs was 2.2% (7,775/349,793) (p Conclusion: In this statewide analysis, we found that EMTs had a significantly higher Mortality Odds Ratio due to suicide compared to non-EMTs. Further research is necessary to identify the underlying causes of suicide among EMTs and to develop effective prevention strategies.

description: Deep images of the Centaurus and Coma clusters reveal two spectacular arcs of diffuse light that stretch for over 100 kpc, yet are just a few kpc wide. At a surface brightness of m_b \sim 27-28th arcsec^-2, the Centaurus arc is the most striking example known of structure in the diffuse light component of a rich galaxy cluster. We use numerical simulations to show that the Centaurus feature can be reproduced by the tidal debris of a spiral galaxy that has been tidally disrupted by the gravitational potential of NGC 4709. The surface brightness and narrow dimensions of the diffuse light suggest that the disk was co-rotating with its orbital path past pericentre. Features this prominent in clusters will be relatively rare, although at fainter surface brightness levels the diffuse light will reveal a wealth of structure. Deeper imaging surveys may be able to trace this feature for several times its presently observed extent and somewhere along the tidal debris, a fraction of the original stellar component of the disk will remain bound, but transformed into a faint spheroidal galaxy. It should be possible to confirm the galactic origin of the Centaurus arc by observing planetary nebulae along its length with redshifts close to that of NGC 4709.

Assessing the potential for photovoltaic technology to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions:life cycle analysis and energy systems modelling for electricity access in rural India
Creators: name: Sandwell, Philip Richard
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies are becoming increasingly accessible as a source of reliable, sustainable and affordable electricity. Cost decreases and manufacturing improvements have meant that energy generated from PV is a viable alternative to fossil fuel generation, whilst also offering a significant potential to offset the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from incumbent energy sources. In this work I investigate the potential of PV technologies to mitigate GHGs with a focus on the application of PV towards rural electrification in India. I present the costs and emissions associated with the deployment of mature and emerging PV technologies in minigrid electricity systems and compare their impacts with those of incumbent diesel generation and the extension of the grid network, identifying the scenarios which favour PV minigrids. I also present the life cycle analysis of a new design of concentrating PV module, and its opportunities to mitigate GHGs in various locations around the world, finding that it can offer emissions intensities lower than other renewable technologies. I analyse the current levels of energy access of communities in rural Uttar Pradesh, India and find that there is a significant opportunity to mitigate GHG emissions from kerosene usage. I also present an estimation of the potential future energy demand that would provide them with electricity access. I describe a new framework for energy systems modelling, CLOVER, that simulates and optimises minigrid systems which can increase in generation capacity in response to growing levels of electricity demand. I apply this framework to minigrid systems in Uttar Pradesh and find that PV systems which offer opportunities for economic development can provide electricity at both a lower cost and lower GHG emissions than either diesel generation or hybrid systems. Finally, I identify the greatest opportunities for PV minigrid system to provide affordable electricity and mitigate GHGs.

description: Available anti-leishmanial drugs are associated with toxic side effects, necessitating the search for safe and effective alternatives. This study is focused on identifying traditional medicinal plant natural products for anti-leishmanial potential and possible mechanism of action. Compounds S and T. cordifolia residual fraction (TC-5) presented the best anti-leishmanial activity (IC50: 0.446 and 1.028 mg/ml) against promastigotes at 48 h and less cytotoxicity to THP-1 macrophages. These test agents elicited increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines; TNFα and IL-12. In infected untreated macrophages, NO release was suppressed but was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in infected cells treated with compound S. Importantly, Compound S was found to interact with LdTopoIIdimer in silico, resulting in a likely reduced ability of nucleic acid (dsDNA)-remodelling and, as a result, parasite proliferation in vitro. Thereby, Compound S possesses anti-leishmanial activity and this effect occurs via a Th1-mediated pro-inflammatory response. An increase in NO release and its inhibitory effect on LdTopoII may also contribute to the anti-leishmanial effect of compound S. These results show the potential of this compound as a potential starting point for the discovery of novel anti-leishmanial leads. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

The Actor Analogy in Off. 1: A Platonic-Aristotelian Perspective for a Topic of Stoic Use
Creators: name: Martínez Fernández, Iker
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

There has been much discussion about the origin of the actor analogy in Off. 1.107-115. Some scholars have considered that we are facing a theory of personality and even a proposal that would point towards the definition of a moral subject in Cicero’s work. Without discussing the Stoic origin of the analogy, this work argues that Cicero would take in De officiis a Stoic topic transforming it into a Platonic-Aristotelian sense. Thus, the interpretation according to which the first book of Cicero’s last philosophical work would have a profound academic and peripatetic influence is defended.

Making a New Aristocracy: The Antiqui Mores at the Service of Augustan Politics
Creators: name: Rohr Vio, Francesca
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

In his reorganization of the State, Augustus restored the patrimony of values on which the senatorial aristocracy had founded its power in the res publica and he especially ensured the family’s central role. For this purpose he identified behavior exempla in the past of Rome and in his own domus and promoted a series of laws to regulate the public and private life of citizens. His aim was to affect morality and birthrate, but also to create a new ruling class: the homines novi would integrate with the ancient aristocracy through marriages and common descendants and this new senatorial class would operate according to the guidelines that had guided the leaders of the history of Rome.

These associations were based on positional coincidences between cataloged quasars or Abell clusters, and selected events from the BATSE 3B catalog of gamma-ray bursts. We use a larger sample of gamma-ray bursts with more accurate positions, obtained by the 3rd Interplanetary Network, to re-evaluate these possible associations. We find no evidence for either.

description: Federated learning allows us to run machine learning algorithms on decentralized data when data sharing is not permitted due to privacy concerns. Ensemble-based learning works by training multiple (weak) classifiers whose output is aggregated. Federated ensembles are ensembles applied to a federated setting, where each classifier in the ensemble is trained on one data location.
 In this article, we explore the use of federated ensembles of Bayesian networks (FBNE) in a range of experiments and compare their performance with locally trained models and models trained with VertiBayes, a federated learning algorithm to train Bayesian networks from decentralized data. Our results show that FBNE outperforms local models and provides a significant increase in training speed compared with VertiBayes while maintaining a similar performance in most settings, among other advantages. We show that FBNE is a potentially useful tool within the federated learning toolbox, especially when local populations are heavily biased, or there is a strong imbalance in population size across parties. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this approach in terms of time complexity, model accuracy, privacy protection, and model interpretability.

Geometric methods for modelling and approximation Of nonlinear systems
Creators: name: Padoan, Alberto
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: The present work investigates a number of problems related to the modelling and approximation of nonlinear systems, using geometry as the primary lens through which ideas are explored. The first part of the work focuses on the fundamental problems of system identification and model reduction for nonlinear systems. Three different approaches to the identification of nonlinear systems are developed using nonlinear realization theory, ideas from subspace identification and functional equations. The model reduction problem at isolated singularities is then posed and solved using the concept of moment matching. Motivated by these results, the second part of the work develops several notions and tools for modelling nonlinear systems. First, a nonlinear enhancement of the notions of eigenvalue and of pole is introduced and studied exploiting the differential geometric approach to nonlinear systems. The persistence of excitation of signals generated by autonomous systems is then characterized in geometric terms. Finally, connections between moments of systems and moments of random variables are established. The theory is illustrated by means of several examples and the applicability of the resulting algorithms is verified by numerical simulations.

description: Nowadays, bacterial multidrug resistance has become a commonplace problem in clinics due to several intrinsic factors mediated through resistance to antibacterials obtained via bacterial consortia and extrinsic factors, such as non-uniform antibacterial policy and migration of resistant bacteria through human and other routes. The development of newer, effective anti-mycobacterial candidate(s) is coveted by clinics. Hybrid molecules would be comparatively more emulating against invasive bacterial strains; nevertheless, newer antibiotics are continually added. Herein, designing and developments of two series of Schiff-based salicylaldehyde S1-S7 and furfuraldehyde F1-F7 molecules individually bearing sulfonamide group are described; and those were synthesized and their structures by spectral characterization were confirmed. Concomitantly, molecule dynamic simulations of all atoms had been performed to fathom the mechanism of the action with these leading complexes. These data imply that the synthesized Schiff-based salicylaldehyde hybrids would be promising anti-tubercular compounds, which further need potent pharmacological evaluations.

description: Sliding phases have been long sought after in the context of coupled XY-models, as they are of relevance to various many-body systems such as layered superconductors, freestanding liquid-crystal films, and cationic lipid-DNA complexes. Here we report an observation of a dynamical sliding phase superfluid that emerges in a nonequilibrium setting from the quantum dynamics of a three-dimensional ultracold atomic gas loaded into the P-band of a one-dimensional optical lattice. A shortcut loading method is used to transfer atoms into the P-band at zero quasimomentum within a very short time duration. The system can be viewed as a series of "pancake"-shaped atomic samples. For this far-out-of-equilibrium system, we find an intermediate time window with a lifetime around tens of milliseconds, where the atomic ensemble exhibits robust superfluid phase coherence in the pancake directions, but no coherence in the lattice direction, which implies a dynamical sliding phase superfluid. The emergence of the sliding phase is attributed to a mechanism of cross-dimensional energy transfer in our proposed phenomenological theory, which is consistent with experimental measurements. This experiment potentially opens up a novel venue to search for exotic dynamical phases by creating high-band excitations in optical lattices.

description: We present high resolution optical echelle spectra and IUE observations during a strong flare on 1993 December 22 in the very active, young, rapidly rotating, single K2 dwarf LQ Hya. The initial impulsive phase of the flare, which started sometime between 2:42 UT and 4:07 UT, was characterized by strong optical continuum enhancement and blue-shifted emission lines with broad wings. The optical chromospheric lines reached their maximum intensity at $\approx$5:31 UT, by which time the blue-shift vanished and the optical continuum enhancement had sharply decreased. Thereafter, the line emission slowly decreased and the lines red-shift in a gradual phase that lasted at least two more hours. The Mg II lines behaved similarly. Quiescent C IV flux levels were not recovered until 21 hours later, though a data gap and a possible second flare make the interpretation uncertain. In addition to the typically flare-enhanced emission lines (e.g., H_alpha and H_beta), we observe He I D_3 going into emission, plus excess emission (after subtraction of the quiescent spectrum) in other He I and several strong neutral metal lines (e.g., Mg I b). Flare enhancement of the far UV continuum generally agrees with a Si I recombination model. We estimate the total flare energy, and discuss the broad components, asymmetries, and Doppler shifts seen in some of the emission lines.

Performance and cost optimization of multi-tenant in-memory database clusters
Creators: name: Molka, Karsten
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis, we set focus on in-memory database systems and combine queueing network modeling with nonlinear optimization to capture their performance characteristics and to optimize their provisioning cost. Our work is motivated by the advances in big data processing and in-memory technologies, which have created a shift of resource usage patterns in data centers, making both resource and workload management more challenging. One reason for this lies in the complexity of in-memory applications, for which performance is difficult to capture with existing methods. These challenges are further exacerbated by on-demand database offerings and multi-tenant configurations, both of which can lead to increased workload dynamics. New accurate and efficient performance management methods are therefore key to handle workload interference effects and improve suboptimal resource configuration in data centers. The first part of this thesis proposes a methodology that tackles the above challenges by solving the problem of routing analytical requests to a set of in-memory databases, minimizing memory exhaustion. This is particularly important, in that it helps avoid memory swapping under workloads with large memory footprints. As part of our methodology, we also introduce a novel in-memory database performance model based on fork-join queues, which compared with existing approximations is both more accurate and suitable for large scale optimization. In the second part we focus on the performance analysis and resource allocation challenges that in-memory database providers face when optimizing their data center environments for large multi-tenant workloads. We set out by analyzing performance interference between multiple co-located databases and propose efficient models for capturing power consumption and probabilistic measures of memory occupancy. We then combine these models with a novel optimization strategy that tackles database consolidation problems with a new hybrid genetic algorithm, and we demonstrate its effectiveness in helping cloud providers increase the energy-efficiency of in-memory database clusters.

Characterising the environmental stress cracking behaviour of thermoplastics: a fracture mechanics approach
Creators: name: Kamaludin, Muhammad Ayyub
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is a slow crack growth process which affects thermoplastics. It occurs under the combined effect of applied stress and an ingressing environment, without large-scale diffusion or chemical reaction. This thesis focusses on the development of a fracture mechanics test method, which is applied to characterise the ESC behaviour of several polymer-environment combinations of industrial interest. The materials investigated were PE in Igepal solution, HIPS in sunflower oil, PMMA in methanol, and PEEK in acetone. A rig was built for testing using the single edge notched bend (SENB) configuration, with crack growth measured via specimen compliance. Tests were conducted in both air and the liquid environment, with the effects of temperature and initial applied G (energy release rate) also investigated. Results were obtained in the form of crack initiation (G versus time) and propagation (G versus crack speed) plots. Standard material tests were also performed, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the fracture surfaces to describe the different failure processes observed. For most of the materials tested, the models of relaxation- and flow-controlled crack growth were considered to hold, yielding values of critical crack opening displacement (COD) and characteristic crack length (L0) respectively. The ESC results were also used to perform component life predictions (tf) for the different materials, using either known operating conditions or `critical' values, the latter leading to a proposed parameter λ. Overall, PEEK was judged as having the highest ESC resistance, and PMMA the lowest. The developed fracture mechanics method was found to successfully describe the ESC behaviour of several different polymer-environment combinations. It produced geometry-independent, inherent material information compared to standard industry tests, which typically output failure times under conditions that may not represent the situation in service.
Sidonius Apollinaris and the ‘Senate in Exile’: On a 'Republican' Poetic Metaphor
Creators: name: Gusso, Massimo
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

The Gallo-Roman imperial accession of Avitus, following the Vandal plunder, is presented by Sidonius Apollinaris (Carm. 7) as an effective opportunity for the revival of the Western empire in a utopian and mythical-historical perspective, which uses repertoires of Roman Republican History. An neglected tradition of that same history is thus revived, incidentally, with precedents ranging from the Gallic siege to civil wars and beyond. In this context, some senatorial ateliers where communications functional to the idea of a senate “free from the emperor” were experimented, could have made use of a certain “republican” modality of the use of prodigies in the most unscrupulous way, with recourse to even very complex propaganda paradigms.

description: GPS sources are the objects of choice to study the initial evolution of extragalactic radio sources, since it is most likely that they are the young counterparts of large scale radio sources. Correlations found between their peak frequency, peak flux density and angular size provide strong evidence that synchrotron self absorption is the cause of the spectral turnovers, and indicate that young radio sources evolve in a self-similar way. The difference in redshift distribution between young and old radio sources must be due to a difference in slope of their luminosity functions, and we argue that this slope is strongly affected by the luminosity evolution of the individual sources. A luminosity evolution scenario is proposed in which GPS sources increase in luminosity and large scale radio sources decrease in luminosity with time. It is shown that such a scenario agrees with the local luminosity function of GPS galaxies.

description:

This article aims at clarifying Antonio Gramsci’s influence on Antonio La Penna, one of the most important Italian Classicists. It will show how Antonio Gramsci’s works provided La Penna with several categories which were fundamental in his analysis of both Latin literature and Roman society. Moreover, I will argue that Gramsci’s thought represented for La Penna a doorway to Marxism in the postwar period, and subsequently a way to overcome it. In fact, the reading of Gramsci’s work determined La Penna’s constant attempt to emancipate himself from Idealism. As matter of facts, this philosophy deeply characterised the training he received during his childhood and youth in the Italian school system which was dominated by the figure of Giovanni Gentile throughout the thirties and the early fourties.

Novel applications and contexts for the cognitive packet network

description: Autonomic communication, which is the development of self-configuring, self-adapting, self-optimising and self-healing communication systems, has gained much attention in the network research community. This can be explained by the increasing demand for more sophisticated networking technologies with physical realities that possess computation capabilities and can operate successfully with minimum human intervention. Such systems are driving innovative applications and services that improve the quality of life of citizens both socially and economically. Furthermore, autonomic communication, because of its decentralised approach to communication, is also being explored by the research community as an alternative to centralised control infrastructures for efficient management of large networks. This thesis studies one of the successful contributions in the autonomic communication research, the Cognitive Packet Network (CPN). CPN is a highly scalable adaptive routing protocol that allows for decentralised control in communication. Consequently, CPN has achieved significant successes, and because of the direction of research, we expect it to continue to find relevance. To investigate this hypothesis, we research new applications and contexts for CPN. This thesis first studies Information-Centric Networking (ICN), a future Internet architecture proposal. ICN adopts a data-centric approach such that contents are directly addressable at the network level and in-network caching is easily supported. An optimal caching strategy for an information-centric network is first analysed, and approximate solutions are developed and evaluated. Furthermore, a CPN inspired forwarding strategy for directing requests in such a way that exploits the in-network caching capability of ICN is proposed. The proposed strategy is evaluated via discrete event simulations and shown to be more effective in its search for local cache hits compared to the conventional methods. Finally, CPN is proposed to implement the routing system of an Emergency Cyber-Physical System for guiding evacuees in confined spaces in emergency situations. By exploiting CPN’s QoS capabilities, different paths are assigned to evacuees based on their ongoing health conditions using well-defined path metrics. The proposed system is evaluated via discrete-event simulations and shown to improve survival chances compared to a static system that treats evacuees in the same way.

description: Bayesian learning aided massive antenna array based THz MIMO systems are designed for spatial-wideband and frequency-wideband scenarios, collectively termed as the dual-wideband channels. Essentially, numerous antenna modules of the THz system result in a significant delay in the transmission/ reception of signals in the time-domain across the antennas, which leads to spatial-selectivity. As a further phenomenon, the wide bandwidth of THz communication results in substantial variation of the effective angle of arrival/ departure (AoA/ AoD) with respect to the subcarrier frequency. This is termed as the beam squint effect, which renders the channel state information (CSI) estimation challenging in such systems. To address this problem, initially, a pilot-aided (PA) Bayesian learning (PA-BL) framework is derived for the estimation of the Terahertz (THz) MIMO channel that relies exclusively on the pilot beams transmitted. Since the framework designed can successfully operate in an ill-posed model, it can verifiably lead to reduced pilot transmissions in comparison to conventional methodologies. The above paradigm is subsequently extended to additionally incorporate data symbols to derive a Data-Aided (DA) BL approach that performs joint data detection and CSI estimation. We will demonstrate that it is capable of improving the dual-wideband channels estimate, despite further reducing the training overhead. The Bayesian Cramer-Rao bounds (BCRLBs) are also obtained for explicitly characterizing the lower bounds on the mean squared error (MSE) of the PA-BL and DA-BL frameworks. Our simulation results show the improved normalized MSE (NMSE) and bit-error rate (BER) performance of the proposed estimation schemes and confirm that they approach their respective BCRLB benchmarks.
Machine Learning in Medical Image Analysis

description: Machine learning is playing a pivotal role in medical image analysis. Many algorithms based on machine learning have been applied in medical imaging to solve classification, detection, and segmentation problems. Particularly, with the wide application of deep learning approaches, the performance of medical image analysis has been significantly improved. In this thesis, we investigate machine learning methods for two key challenges in medical image analysis: The first one is segmentation of medical images. The second one is learning with weak supervision in the context of medical imaging. The first main contribution of the thesis is a series of novel approaches for image segmentation. First, we propose a framework based on multi-scale image patches and random forests to segment small vessel disease (SVD) lesions on computed tomography (CT) images. This framework is validated in terms of spatial similarity, estimated lesion volumes, visual score ratings and was compared with human experts. The results showed that the proposed framework performs as well as human experts. Second, we propose a generic convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture called the DRINet for medical image segmentation. The DRINet approach is robust in three different types of segmentation tasks, which are multi-class cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) segmentation on brain CT images, multi-organ segmentation on abdomen CT images, and multi-class tumour segmentation on brain magnetic resonance (MR) images. Finally, we propose a CNN-based framework to segment acute ischemic lesions on diffusion weighted (DW)-MR images, where the lesions are highly variable in terms of position, shape, and size. Promising results were achieved on a large clinical dataset. The second main contribution of the thesis is two novel strategies for learning with weak supervision. First, we propose a novel strategy called context restoration to make use of the images without annotations. The context restoration strategy is a proxy learning process based on the CNN, which extracts semantic features from images without using annotations. It was validated on classification, localization, and segmentation problems and was superior to existing strategies. Second, we propose a patch-based framework using multi-instance learning to distinguish normal and abnormal SVD on CT images, where there are only coarse-grained labels available. Our framework was observed to work better than classic methods and clinical practice.

description: We imaged the X-ray error box of GRB 980703, beginning 22.5 hours after the gamma--ray event, in both the optical R and near-infrared H bands. A fading optical/IR object was detected within the X-ray error box, coincident with the variable radio source reported by Frail et al. (1998a), who also detected the optical transient independently of us. Further imagery revealed the GRB host galaxy, with R = 22.49 +/- 0.04 and H = 20.5 +/- 0.25, the brightest so far detected. When excluding its contribution to the total flux, both the R and H-band light curves are well-fit by a power-law decay with index alpha~1.4. Our data suggest an intrinsic column density in the host galaxy of ~ 3.5 x 10^21 cm^-2 which indicates the existence of a dense and rich-gas medium in which the GRB occurred, thus supporting the hypernova model scenarios.

Models for learning reverberant environments

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Reverberation is present in all real life enclosures. From our workplaces to our homes and even in places designed as auditoria, such as concert halls and theatres. We have learned to understand speech in the presence of reverberation and also to use it for aesthetics in music. This thesis investigates novel ways enabling machines to learn the properties of reverberant acoustic environments. Training machines to classify rooms based on the effect of reverberation requires the use of data recorded in the room. The typical data for such measurements is the Acoustic Impulse Response (AIR) between the speaker and the receiver as a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter. Its representation however is high-dimensional and the measurements are small in number, which limits the design and performance of deep learning algorithms. Understanding properties of the rooms relies on the analysis of reflections that compose the AIRs and the decay and absorption of the sound energy in the room. This thesis proposes novel methods for representing the early reflections, which are strong and sparse in nature and depend on the position of the source and the receiver. The resulting representation significantly reduces the coefficients needed to represent the AIR and can be combined with a stochastic model from the literature to also represent the late reflections. The use of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) for the task of classifying rooms is investigated, which provides novel results in this field. The aforementioned issues related to AIRs are highlighted through the analysis. This leads to the proposal of a data augmentation method for the training of the classifiers based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), which uses existing data to create artificial AIRs, as if they were measured in real rooms. The networks learn properties of the room in the space defined by the parameters of the low-dimensional representation that is proposed in this thesis.
