description: The World Wide Web is evolving from being a pure information repository to a more functional and service oriented platform thanks to technologies such as Web Services. This technology offers a homogeneous representation of Web elements and the ways they are communicating that make it possible to deal with the inherent structural and behavioural heterogeneities of the Web. A Web service can be seen as an autonomous functional element that is loosely coupled to other Web services and can be discovered and deployed in Web-based applications. Autonomity and loose coupling make Web services a viable light weight complementary componentbased approach for design and development of dynamic distributed systems for more heavy weight solutions such as OMG's CORBA and Microsoft's DCOM. In this paper, we take the position that if Web Services are going to be considered as reusable commercial of-the-shelf (COTS) components, their Quality of Service (QoS) needs to be expressed explicitly and measured independently. More specifically, we present and discuss possible quality aspects that need to be represented and quantified for Web Services.

description: Background: Higher morbidity and mortality rates are seen amongst patients presenting with hyperlactatemia in the postoperative period. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between persistent elevations in lactate and poor ICU outcome in post-cardiac surgery patients. Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort analysis of cardiac surgery patients undergoing bypass and/or valve surgery in a university hospital centre. Selection criteria were: cardiac bypass and/or valve surgery; admission to the ICU for > 24 h postoperatively; and peak lactate ≥ 3.0 mmol/L. Hyperlactatemic patients were matched to 2 normolactatemic patients. Multivariable conditional logistic regression was used to determine predictors of hyperlactatemia and mortality. Results: Four hundred sixty-nine post-cardiac surgery patients were admitted to the ICU for > 24 h. 144 of these patients had an arterial blood lactate ≥ 3.0 mmol/L. Amongst the mortalities, 78.9 % presented with hyperlactatemia. Independent risk factors predictive of a lactate ≥3.0 mmol/L were preoperative IABP insertion (RR 2.8, CI 1.1–7.2) and postoperative acute kidney injury (RR 3.2, CI 2.1–5.4). Patients whose lactate concentrations continued to increase >30 h postoperatively were more likely to die (RR 8.44 CI 2.50–28.53). Conclusions: The persistence of hyperlactatemia is a more important determinant of postoperative outcome than the absolute value of the peak lactate concentration. A simple postoperative lactate washout does not sufficiently explain this lactate accumulation. Mortality is proposed to be secondary to a state of ongoing hypoperfusion.

description: Arbuscular mycorrhiza represents a ubiquitous nutritional symbiosis between the roots of most terrestrial plant species and fungi of the subphylum Glomeromycotina (Spatafora et al., 2016). Terrestrial habitats are unlikely to be limited in propagules of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), because AMF propagule densities build up fast in vegetated soil (e.g. Gould et al., 1996). We start to appreciate, however, that shortages in AMF propagules are common in some habitats, such as agricultural ﬁelds subject to intensive farming (Schnoor et al., 2011; Manoharan et al., 2017). Forest habitats in the temperate region might also be occasionally AMF propagule limited (Veresoglou et al., 2017), but to the best of our understanding this has not been shown with empirical data.
Graphene inspired sensing devices

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Graphene’s exciting characteristics such as high mechanical strength, tuneable electrical prop- erties, high thermal conductivity, elasticity, large surface-to-volume ratio, make it unique and attractive for a plethora of applications including gas and liquid sensing. Adsorption, the phys- ical bonding of molecules on solid surfaces, has huge impact on the electronic properties of graphene. We use this to develop gas sensing devices with faster response time by suspending graphene over large area (cm^2) on silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWAs). These are fabricated by two-step metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) and using a home-developed polymer-assisted graphene transfer (PAGT) process. The advantage of suspending graphene is the removal of diffusion-limited access to the adsorption sites at the interface between graphene and its support. By modifying the Langmuir adsorption model and fitting the experimental response curves, we find faster response times for both ammonia and acetone vapours. The use of suspended graphene improved the overall response, based on speed and amplitude of response, by up to 750% on average. This device could find applications in biomedical breath analysis for diseases such lung cancer, asthma, kidney failure and more. Taking advantage of the mechanical strength of graphene and using the developed PAGT process, we transfer it on commercial (CMOS) Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor (ISFET) arrays. The deposition of graphene on the top sensing layer reduces drift that results from the surface modification during exposure to electrolyte while improving the overall performance by up to about 10^13 % and indicates that the ISFET can operate with metallic sensing membrane and not only with insulating materials as confirmed by depositing Au on the gate surface. Post- processing of the ISFET top surface by reactive ion plasma etching, proved that the physical location of trapped charge lies within the device structure. The process improved its overall performance by about 105 %. The post-processing of the ISFET could be applied for sensor performance in any of its applications including pH sensing for DNA sequencing and glucose monitoring.

Non-newtonian fluid selection for achieving flow similarity in stirred vessels
Creators: name: Russell, Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Many key engineering applications in the chemical sector incorporate the “duty of agitation” through the use of mixing-based unit operations to achieve the desired transport phenomena governing the particular system. These industrial processes often occur in stirred vessels equipped with centrally-mounted impellers, with the material commonly associated with high levels of toxicity, expense, handling difficulty and complex rheological behaviour. The industrial fluids of interest to this project display viscoplastic behaviour, where the fluid deforms with shear-thinning characteristics, once a yield stress has been exceeded. The mixing of viscoplastic fluids in stirred vessels can lead to the formation of caverns, where regions of flow surround the central impeller, outside of which the material is stagnant. The optimisation of industrial processes often involves the implementation of appropriately scaled-down systems and the utilisation of suitable replacement model fluids. After an extensive literature review of typical viscoplastic materials and the agitation of these fluid types in stirred vessels, a vast number of viscoplastic model fluids were formulated, rheologically characterised and fitted with mathematical rheology models. A computational platform (the ‘Model Fluid Selection Tool’) was developed and acted as a rheological database, which was used as part of an operational function of the tool for suggesting suitable model fluids that most closely match the rheological properties of the ‘real’, industrial formulations. Highly transparent Carbopol model fluids were mixed in stirred vessels equipped with small, centrally-mounted impellers (Rushton turbines and pitched-blade turbines) over multiple scales, ranging in volume from 2-20 L, with key geometrical length scale ratios being maintained. A method for achieving cavern size similarity was determined, by scaling the dimensionless cavern diameter, Dc/D, against a combination of dimensionless parameters: Rem-0.3Rey0.6n-0.1ks-1, where Rem, Rey, n and ks are the modified power-law Reynolds number, yield stress Reynolds number, flow behaviour index and impeller geometry constant, respectively. The functional relationship between Dc/D and Rem-0.3Rey0.6n-0.1ks-1¬ was utilised in a second computational platform (the ‘Matching and Predictive Mixing Tool’) for predicting cavern sizes in systems of known scale and rheology, and matching dimensionless cavern sizes in a second system when the scale and/or rheology was changed. Finally, the mixing effectiveness in dual-impeller systems for agitation of viscoplastic fluids was assessed. This research project presents novel methods for matching fluids in terms of rheological properties, whilst presenting a protocol for scaling the mixing of these fluids in stirred vessel systems.

description: During the past decade, detailed studies using well-defined ‘second generation’ chitosans have amply proved that both their material properties and their biological activities are dependent on their molecular structure, in particular on their degree of polymerisation (DP) and their fraction of acetylation (FA). Recent evidence suggests that the pattern of acetylation (PA), i.e., the sequence of acetylated and non-acetylated residues along the linear polymer, is equally important, but chitosan polymers with defined, non-random PA are not yet available. One way in which the PA will influence the bioactivities of chitosan polymers is their enzymatic degradation by sequence-dependent chitosan hydrolases present in the target tissues. The PA of the polymer substrates in conjunction with the subsite preferences of the hydrolases determine the type of oligomeric products and the kinetics of their production and further degradation. Thus, the bioactivities of chitosan polymers will at least in part be carried by the chitosan oligomers produced from them, possibly through their interaction with pattern recognition receptors in target cells. In contrast to polymers, partially acetylated chitosan oligosaccharides (paCOS) can be fully characterised concerning their DP, FA, and PA, and chitin deacetylases (CDAs) with different and known regio-selectivities are currently emerging as efficient tools to produce fully defined paCOS in quantities sufficient to probe their bioactivities. In this review, we describe the current state of the art on how CDAs can be used in forward and reverse mode to produce all of the possible paCOS dimers, trimers, and tetramers, most of the pentamers and many of the hexamers. In addition, we describe the biotechnological production of the required fully acetylated and fully deacetylated oligomer substrates, as well as the purification and characterisation of the paCOS products.

description: There are severe limitations that photoconductive (PC) terahertz (THz) antennas experience due to Joule heating and ohmic losses, which cause premature device breakdown through thermal runaway. In response, this work introduces PC THz antennas utilizing textured InP semiconductors. These textured InP semiconductors exhibit high surface recombination properties and have shortened carrier lifetimes which limit residual photocurrents in the picoseconds following THz pulse emission—ultimately reducing Joule heating and ohmic losses. Fine- and coarse-textured InP semiconductors are studied and compared to a smooth-textured InP semiconductor, which provides a baseline. The surface area ratio (measuring roughness) of the smooth-, fine-, and coarse-textured InP semiconductors is resolved through a computational analysis of SEM images and found as 1.0 ± 0.1, 2.9 ± 0.4, and 4.3 ± 0.6, respectively. The carrier lifetimes of the smooth-, fine-, and coarse-textured InP semiconductors are found as respective values of 200 ± 6, 100 ± 10, and 20 ± 3 ps when measured with a pump-probe experimental system. The emitted THz electric fields and corresponding consumption of photocurrent are measured with a THz experimental setup. The temporal and spectral responses of PC THz antennas made with each of the textured InP semiconductors are found to be similar; however, the consumption of photocurrent (relating to Joule heating and ohmic losses) is greatly diminished for the semiconductors that are textured. The findings of this work can assist in engineering of small-scale PC THz antennas for high-power operation, where they are extremely vulnerable to premature device breakdown through thermal runaway.

Conformationally-fixed conjugated polymers via aldol polymerisation for organic aemiconducting applications
Creators: name: Onwubiko, Nkechinyerem Adannaya Uzoamaka
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: There is copious potential for carbon-based semiconductors to compliment inorganic materials and open-up a range of applications to technology, as well as offer economic and environmental advantages for both manufacturers and consumers. These organic semiconducting materials are inexpensive and flexible with tunable properties due to covalent bonding within the molecules and intermolecular Van der Waals interactions. Through property-structure led strategic design these lightweight materials can be solution processed at ambient temperatures and highthroughput volumes to minimise energy consumption, expand their compatibility with plastic and flexible substrates and lower manufacturing costs. The organic semiconducting field includes materials such as organic photovoltaic materials, organic light emitting diodes, photodetectors, radio-frequency identification tags and transistors, the focus of this thesis. Polymeric materials for organic field-effect transistors are generally prepared by transition metal mediated coupling reactions that often involve highly reactive, functional group sensitive or toxic reagents. These coupling reactions generate polymers where aromatic units are connected by carbon-carbon single bonds and are therefore subject to arbitrary rotation along the polymer spine. Torsional strain along the polymer spine increases conformational and energetic disorder in the polymer. In addition to this, defects from miscoupling reactions during polymerisation results in higher degrees of disorder in the polymers. Disorder along the polymer backbone has been shown to hinder efficient charge transport and the formation of closely stacked polymer chains and extended crystalline domains for charge mobility. To elicit coplanar, conjugated polymers and facilitate close π − π stacking between polymer chains, we synthesised conformationally-fixed polymers by linking monomer units by carboncarbon double bonds. Our polymers were prepared via metal-free, acid catalysed aldol polymerisation, an environmentally benign synthesis compared to traditional polymerisation reactions. The monomer structures used generated electron deficient polymers with extended delocalised frontier orbitals, near infrared absorption and good ambient stable electron charge transport. We also explored common property-design strategies of elongating the aromatic centres, side-chain engineering and reducing torsional strain to optimise the charge transport properties.
Community consultation, local government and the hard to reach

description: This paper explores how local government can involve a broader range of people in service planning, without intruding on privacy or making onerous demands on residents’ time. Local councils are keen to make their decision-making processes open and representative. They are also expected to build community cohesion and involve all sections of the community in municipal activities (service planning in particular). But only a small number of residents participate. Some groups are active, others are indifferent at best and prefer not to be contacted or sent material. People may be time-poor or difficult to contact. They may be uninterested in local planning and local politics. However, they may also expect to be informed about local development, services and cultural events; they may wish to put a view. But how to contact them without harassing them? These issues are explored in a new collaborative research project, between Swinburne University and six Victorian local government authorities (Nillumbik, Port Phillip, Melbourne, Darebin, Whittlesea, Moreland, and Maribyrnong) and the Victorian Local Government Authority. The aim is to develop a more inclusive and less intrusive model of local consultation.
Maternal and infant immune responses to pertussis vaccination in pregnancy
Creators: name: Rice, Thomas Francis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Background: In the United Kingdom in 2012, there was a pertussis epidemic that disproportionately affected infants too young to be protected by immunisation. In an attempt to protect this vulnerable age group, pertussis vaccination was introduced for pregnant women. However, how immune responses in mothers and infants are altered following pertussis vaccination during pregnancy requires further investigation. Methods: Women were recruited from tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap)-vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnancies. Blood was obtained from women during pregnancy and at birth, from the cord of the placenta, and from infants at seven weeks (pre-primary pertussis immunisation) and five months of age (post-primary pertussis immunisation). Investigations measured antibody responses to Tdap vaccination and the primary series of paediatric vaccines, innate cytokine responses to Bordetella pertussis and strains lacking Tdap vaccine antigens, the phenotype of innate cells present in infants at birth and heterologous effects of Tdap vaccination during pregnancy in mothers and infants. Results: Tdap vaccination significantly boosted antibody to all Tdap antigens in women at birth and infants up to seven weeks of age. At five months of age, infants from Tdap-vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnancies had comparable levels of antibody to all Tdap vaccine antigens. Tdap vaccination during pregnancy boosted innate cytokine responses to B. pertussis in mothers, but had less of an effect in infants. Innate cytokine responses to B. pertussis were strain-dependent, with strains lacking antigens contained in the Tdap vaccine inducing greater cytokine production. Tdap vaccination during pregnancy impacted the frequency of monocyte subsets in infants at birth, as well as dampening cytokine expression. Tdap vaccination induced heterologous effects in mothers and infants, with reduced cytokine responses to bacterial and viral ligands. Conclusions: Tdap vaccination during pregnancy influences both innate and adaptive immunity in mothers and infants. Longitudinal studies of large cohorts of mother-infant pairs are required to determine the clinical implications of these findings.

However, insufficient knowledge of the fire performance of timber hinders its uptake. The structural performance of timber in a fire is evaluated by the char depth after standardised heating inside a furnace. This standardised heating only represents fires in small compartments (floor area<100 m2). In larger compartments, char depths under uniform fires have been studied sparsely (area < 500 m2) and under non-uniform fires not at all (area>500 m2). This thesis aims to understand the charring behaviour of wood under uniform and non-uniform fires. To this end, a novel charring model of timber was developed across scales. At the microscale, a novel kinetic model reproduces over 80 experiments from the literature accurately. The model was developed using novel methodologies to arrive at an appropriate reaction scheme and identify experiments free of heat and mass transfer effects. At the mesoscale, this kinetic model is coupled with a heat and mass transfer model. The combined model reproduces blindly experiments under a wide range of conditions. With this model, I unified the three existing theories on the role of chemical kinetics. Furthermore, I demonstrate that chemical kinetics is key to reproduce transient charring behaviour, but that the variability in charring rates of different softwoods stems from their difference in material properties. At the macroscale, I predict that in non-uniform fires char depths are up to 34 % smaller than in uniform fires, but the strength loss ahead of the char front can be up to 129 % larger than in uniform fires. When taking the latter into account, the strength decay under uniform and non-uniform is comparable. Overall, this thesis provides a fundamental understanding of charring and enables engineers to improve their current design tools.

Stueningeria campbelli

description: Stueningeria campbelli (Hampson, 1910) comb. nov.
Figs 4, 24
 Arbela Campbelli Hampson, 1910, Journ. Bombay Society 20: 97
Type locality: Madras, Horsleykonda [Horsley Hills, 13.651105 N / 78.403806 E].
Type material: holotype (female) in NHMUK, examined.
 Material examined. Holotype (female), S. India, Horsleykonda, Campbell, 1908, 262 (NHMUK, slide NHMUK: Coss- 260♀).
 Redescription. We know only one specimen of this species (holotype, female). Length of fore wing 13 mm. On fore wing, reticulated pattern of wide light-brown spots and transverse thin light lines. Hind wing light-brown, with poorly expressed reticulated pattern. Fringe on all wings mottled, light between veins, brown at veins.
Female genitalia (Fig. 24). Papillae anales conical, apically semicircular; apophyses anteriores and posteriores short, apophyses anteriores 3 times longer than apophyses posteriores; antrum sclerotized, narrow, funnel-like; ductus long, bursa absent on preparation.
 Notes. The original description (Hampson 1910: 97) contains two significant mistakes. Firstly, the holotype is a female, not a male, as indicated in the description. Secondly, there is a mistake in the name of the type habitat. Hampson gives a non-existent locality, “Madras. Horsleyhonda”, while on the geographical label of the holotype we clearly see “S[outhern]. India, Horsleykonda ”.

description: Background: Addiction treatment is an effective strategy used to reduce drug-related harm. In the wake of recent developments in novel addiction treatment modalities, we conducted a longitudinal data analysis to examine factors associated with inability to access addiction treatment among a prospective cohort of persons who inject drugs (PWID). Methods Data were derived from two prospective cohorts of PWID in Vancouver, Canada, between December 2005 and November 2013. Using multivariate generalized estimating equations, we examined factors associated with reporting an inability to access addiction treatment. Results In total, 1142 PWID who had not accessed any addiction treatment during the six months prior to interview were eligible for this study, including 364 women (31.9 %). Overall, 188 (16.5 %) reported having sought but were ultimately unsuccessful in accessing addiction treatment at least once during the study period. In multivariate analysis, factors independently and positively associated with reporting inability to access addiction treatment included: binge drug use (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 1.65), being a victim of violence (AOR = 1.77), homelessness (AOR = 1.99), and having ever accessed addiction treatment (AOR = 2.33); while length of time injecting was negatively and independently associated (AOR = 0.98) (all p < 0.05). Conclusions These findings suggest that sub-populations of PWID were more likely to report experiencing difficulty accessing addiction treatment, including those who may be entrenched in severe drug addiction and vulnerable to violence. It is imperative that additional resources go into ensuring treatment options are readily available when requested for these target populations.

Auf dem unermesslich großen Land Treffen sich meine Brüder und Schwestern wieder, Freuen sich wie ein Sandsturm, Laufen in der Endlosigkeit hin und her. Und unsere Hände umfassen fest ganz Vietnam.« (»Noi vong tay lon « — Schließt Euch zu einem großen Kreis zusammen) So hat er in der Mittagszeit am 30. April 1975 im Radio von Saigon gesungen, als die Befreiungskämpfer des Nordens ein­ marschierten. Und er hat es auch so gemeint. Nicht nur in diesem Lied, auch in vielen anderen kam seine Hoffnung auf Frieden und Liebe zum Ausdruck, die er auch mit der Befreiung Saigons verband. Er war sich sicher, dass es nun ein neues Vietnam geben werde, ohne Tod, Hass und Mord, Elend und Vertreibung.
