description: Purpose of this report is the identification and analysis of the regulatory and ethical framework relevant to the SPHINX project. Its findings need therefore to be taken into account by all project partners while executing their tasks. SPHINX aims to introduce a universal cyber security toolkit that will enhance the cyber protection of Health IT Ecosystems and ensure patients’ data privacy and integrity. The SPHINX toolkit will be adapted or embedded on existing medical, clinical or health available infrastructures. In the context of the project, SPHINX’s cyber-security ecosystem shall be validated and evaluated against performance, effectiveness and usability indicators at three different countries (Romania, Portugal and Greece). Hospitals, healthcare providers and IT solution providers participating in the project’s pilots will deploy and evaluate the solution at business-as-usual and emergency situations across various use case scenarios.
 This report takes into account the SPHINX project characteristics and particularises them onto legal and ethical findings. Its first three parts elaborate upon the applicable legal and ethical framework for SPHINX project purposes. In this context, the ethical principles applicable are discussed in Chapter 1, while EU personal data protection law and EU cybersecurity law are analysed in Chapters 2 and 3 respectively. The analysis takes into account primary and secondary legislation, as well as, guidance issued by the European Commission and other EU bodies and agencies. Its aim is to formulate a comprehensive text of reference for all ethical and legal issues that are of relevance to the project.
 Findings of the first three Chapters of this report are made concrete onto actual SPHINX circumstances in Chapter 4. While structurally the already applied pattern is followed in this Chapter as well (subchapters 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 focusing on ethical, personal data protection, and cybersecurity issues respectively), attention has been given to drafting concrete and specific guidance to project partners in order to warrant compliance with the highest possible ethical and legal standards during project execution.

INSTANTON CALCULATIONS VERSUS EXACT RESULTS IN 4 DIMENSIONAL SUSY GAUGE THEORIES.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We relate the non-perturbative exact results in supersymmetry to perturbation theory using several different methods: instanton calculations at weak or strong coupling, a method using gaugino condensation and another method relating strong and weak coupling. This allows many precise numerical checks of the consistency of these methods, especially the amplitude of instanton effects, and of the network of exact solutions in supersymmetry. However, there remain difficulties with the instanton computations at strong coupling.

AGN must be very efficient at powering outflows
Creators: name: Zubovas, Kastytis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Galaxy evolution is affected by competing feedback processes. Stellar feedback dominates in low-mass galaxies, while AGN feedback predominantly affects massive ones. Recent observational results reveal the dependence of black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and star formation rate (SFR) on galaxy stellar mass, and give information on the galaxy mass at which the changeover between dominant feedback mechanisms occurs. I use this information to derive an empirical estimate of the coupling efficiency, $f_{\rm AGN}$, between AGN luminous energy output and AGN-driven galactic outflows, and the momentum loading factor $f_{\rm p,AGN}$ between the momentum of AGN radiation field and the outflow. The results are independent of any particular model of AGN feedback and show that AGN feedback must be very efficient and/or have very large momentum loading in order to explain current observations. I discuss possible ways of reaching the required efficiency and loading factor, and the selection effects that might result in only weak outflows being observed, while the most powerful ones may be generally obscured. There are significant uncertainties involved in the derivation of the result; I suggest ways of reducing them. In the near future, better estimates of coupling efficiency can help distinguish among AGN feedback models, investigate the redshift evolution and mass dependence of feedback efficiency.

A local Langevin equation for slow long-distance modes of hot non-Abelian gauge fields
Creators: name: Bodeker, Dietrich
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The effective theory for the dynamics of hot non-Abelian gauge fields with spatial momenta of order of the magnetic screening scale g^2 T is described by a Boltzmann equation. The dynamical content of this theory is explored. There are three relevant frequency scales, g T, g^2 T and g^4 T, associated with plasmon oscillations, multipole fluctuations of color charge, and with the non-perturbative gauge field dynamics, respectively. The frequency scale g T is integrated out. The result is a local Langevin-type equation. It is valid to leading order in g and to all orders in log(1/g), and it does not suffer from the hard thermal loop divergences of classical thermal Yang-Mills theory. We then derive the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, which is shown to generate an equilibrium distribution corresponding to 3-dimensional Yang-Mills theory plus a Gaussian free field.

description: Benchmarking methods that can be adapted to multi-qubit systems are essential for assessing the overall or "holistic" performance of nascent quantum processors. The current industry standard is Clifford randomized benchmarking (RB), which measures a single error rate that quantifies overall performance. But scaling Clifford RB to many qubits is surprisingly hard. It has only been performed on 1, 2, and 3 qubits as of this writing. This reflects a fundamental inefficiency in Clifford RB: the $n$-qubit Clifford gates at its core have to be compiled into large circuits over the 1- and 2-qubit gates native to a device. As $n$ grows, the quality of these Clifford gates quickly degrades, making Clifford RB impractical at relatively low $n$. In this Letter, we propose a direct RB protocol that mostly avoids compiling. Instead, it uses random circuits over the native gates in a device, seeded by an initial layer of Clifford-like randomization. We demonstrate this protocol experimentally on 2 -- 5 qubits, using the publicly available IBMQX5. We believe this to be the greatest number of qubits holistically benchmarked, and this was achieved on a freely available device without any special tuning up. Our protocol retains the simplicity and convenient properties of Clifford RB: it estimates an error rate from an exponential decay. But it can be extended to processors with more qubits -- we present simulations on 10+ qubits -- and it reports a more directly informative and flexible error rate than the one reported by Clifford RB. We show how to use this flexibility to measure separate error rates for distinct sets of gates, which includes tasks such as measuring an average CNOT error rate.

description: We present an analysis of the sensitivity of the TESLA e+ e- collider to top flavour-changing neutral couplings to the Z boson and photon. We consider the cases without beam polarization, with only e- polarization and with e- and e+ polarization, showing that the use of the latter substantially enhances the sensitivity to discover or bound these vertices. For some of the couplings the expected LHC limits could be improved up to an order of magnitude for equal running times.

Aptamers for proteomics
Creators: name: Le, Thao Thi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Changes in post-translation modifications are very important in the regulation of biological processes. Many modifications occur at very low levels, resulting in a low-abundance of the modified proteins in cells, and therefore assessing those modifications is not an easy task. Modern proteomics needs improved methods for identifying such changes. In this thesis, we focus on generating aptamers that can bind phosphoproteins with high affinities and therefore would be able to detect even low-abundance proteins. Aptamers are short sequences of nucleic acids that can be selected from libraries through a process called SELEX to bind targets of interest with high affinity and specificity. In this work, a phosphotyrosine (pY) peptide in a consensus sequence, commonly found in a class of phosphoproteins recognised by SH2 domains of signalling cascades in cells, was chosen as the target. By choosing this peptide target, we aim to create aptamers that can bind a class of proteins that carry this peptide sequence, mimicking the action of the intracellular SH2 domains. An RNA library with 7×1014 molecules with 30 nucleotides in the random region was employed for the selection and aptamers that bind the pY peptide were selected. Using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), binding affinities of these aptamers with their peptide target were determined (Kd values in high nanomolar (nM) range). In addition, aptamers that bind streptavidin tightly (Kd values in low nM range) were also isolated, as streptavidin was used as the matrix in partitioning step during the selection. Affinities of these aptamers were also determined by SPR. Moreover, fluorescence quenching suggested that the streptavidin binding aptamers bound in or near the biotin binding site. These aptamers can be used as affinity tags for RNA molecules. The secondary structures of both types of the aptamers were predicted based on their random-region sequences using the Mfold program.

description: Toxicity to algae is important characteristic of substances from ecologic point of view. The CORAL software (http://www.insilico.eu/coral) gives possibility to build up model of toxicity to algae using data on the molecular architecture and experimental toxicity, without additional data on physicochemical and/or biochemical parameters. Considerable improvement of the model is observed in the case of using the index of ideality of correlation (IIC) in the role of additional criterion of predictive potential. The IIC is calculated with using of the correlation coefficient between experimental and calculated values of endpoint for the calibration set, with taking into account the positive and negative dispersions between experimental and calculated values. The best model calculated with use the IIC is characterized (the validation set) by n = 50, r2 = 0.947, RMSE = 0.401 whereas, model calculated without use the IIC is characterized by n = 50, r2 = 0.805, and RMSE = 0.539. The suggested models are built up in accordance to five OECD principles.

As a first example we show that the $su(2)$ symmetry of the QHE on sphere leads to $su_q(2)$ algebra in the equator . We explain this result by a contraction of $su(2)$ . Secondly , with the help of the symmetry operators of QHE on the Pioncare upper half plane , we will show that the ground state wave functions form a representation of the $su_q(2)$ algebra .

Kinase Inhibitors of the FMS Receptor for Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor
Creators: name: Brownlow, Nicola
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: FMS is the receptor for macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF or CSF-1) and is essential for the differentiation and survival of most macrophages, microglia and osteoclasts Infiltration of macrophages and high levels of M-CSF in serum are associated with poor prognosis in human breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers. Consequently, inhibitors of FMS have considerable therapeutic potential for the treatment of cancer, as well as macrophage-mediated inflammatory disease and bone disorders caused by excessive osteoclastogenesis . Here I report the identification of four clinically advanced small molecule kinase inhibitors which can also target FMS, as shown by various biochemical and cell-based assays. The inhibitors I identified are imatinib, nilotinib, tandutinib and dasatinib (IC50s = 600, 250, 400 and 0.5 nM, respectively), where the IC50 values refer to inhibition of FMS-dependent cell growth. All of these inhibitors effectively inhibited osteoclastogenesis at concentrations expected to be achieved in patients and nilotinib was a particularly potent inhibitor (IC50 = 50 nM) indicating that nilotinib is a strong candidate for treatment of diseases where osteoclasts are over activated such as osteoporosis and osteolytic bone disease. Dasatinib was found to be a potent inhibitor of tumour associated macrophages derived from ovarian tumour ascites (IC50 = 0.5 nM) which is similar to the concentration required to inhibit FMS and within concentrations considered to be achieved in vivo. Using these FMS inhibitors I have also confirmed that the downregulation of the FMS receptor in response to ligand binding is independent of kinase activity and instead requires a structural change in the receptor. Intriguingly, at least two tyrosine autophosphorylation sites of FMS are still phosphorylated in the presence of some of these inhibitors and therefore in the absence of FMS kinase activity. This implies that other kinases may be involved in FMS activation.

Methods and Mechanisms for the Fabrication of Highly-Ordered Colloidal Crystal Arrays
Creators: name: Thomson, Niall Rae
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Colloidal crystals have been the focus of intense scientific interest owing to the wide range of proposed applications, including photonic crystal devices, sensor arrays and templates for three-dimensionally ordered macro-porous materials (3-DOM). The broad spectrum of interest stems from the exciting structural properties these materials possess, i.e. porosity, interconnectivity and periodicity. The fabrication of colloidal crystals stripes with features at the pitch of 25 - 450 μm is of interest for a number of reasons: First, to permit the integration of colloidal crystal structures into devices; second, to increase understanding of the mechanisms governing colloidal self-assembly; and third, to allow the creation of arrays of heterostructures combining colloidal crystals of two or more sphere sizes. However, it remains a significant challenge to direct the self-assembly of three-dimensionally periodic colloidal crystals reproducibly over large areas, as the patterning techniques are often time consuming and not suitable to scale-up. In this thesis the successful formation of highly-ordered colloidal crystal stripes over large areas is presented using the combination of two easily integrated techniques, micro-contact printing (μ-CP) and evaporative vertical deposition (EVD). The large area over which directed deposition has been achieved and the combination of μ-CP and EVD are novel. The technique has also been demonstrated on functional substrates. This versatility and scalability represents a significant step towards the formation of low-cost devices based on these materials. Characterisation by reflectance spectroscopy, white light interferometry, and optical and scanning electron microscopy establishes the high spatial selectivity of the technique and the three-dimensional periodicity of the striped colloidal crystal arrays formed.

ConvoCache: Smart Re-Use of Chatbot Responses
Creators: name: Atkins, Conor James
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 460407
subject: System and network security

description: The latest speech synthesis and large language models can effectively solve problems such as human-like conversation, but are limited by the high cost and slow response times. To address these limitations, we present ConvoCache, a conversation cache that stores responses so they can be reused in spoken dialogue systems. We test this cache using a dataset of generic chitchat conversations in English. To find a response, we use language models to encode the utterances of a conversation and find similar conversations in the cache. Then the response is taken from this similar conversation and used in the current conversation. By encoding each utterance individually, we can combine them together as a weighted sum, and investigate the effect of different weights on the utterances. Through simulating ConvoCache, we find that using an exponential decay of weights for the previous utterances works best. The similarity of embeddings could be useful for select when to use the cache and when to generate a new response, but unfortunately this showed limited effectiveness with this encoding method.To measure the quality of the cached responses, we use automatic dialogue evaluation with UniEval and G-Eval. Using the faster UniEval model, we can check cache responses before using them, and find that the nearest similar cached conversation is good 56% of the time, only taking 100ms. There is a cache-miss only 11% of the time, where all top 5 response candidate are evaluated with low coherence scores. Using ConvoCache is able to significantly reduce the cost of chatbots at scale, and reduce the latency from 800ms down to 300–700ms, with an average of 414ms. The difference in latency is significant and allows spoken dialogue chatbots to interact with humans in real-time within the range of human response time preferences.

description: Urease inhibition potential of compound (1), guaiane-type sesquiterpene (2), confertin (3) and scopoletin (4) was carried out with high throughout mechanism-based assay. These compounds were isolated from Hypochaeris radicata L., an Asteraceae family member. The pure compounds were screened for their urease and carbonic anhydrase inhibitory activities. The ethyl acetate fractions were subjected to column chromatography, which resulted in the isolation and purification of four compounds (1–4). On evaluation, compounds (1–4) exhibited selective activity against urease enzyme with an IC50 value of 180.11 ± 2.00, 27.18 ± 0.80, 24.12 ± 0.2 and 30.12 ± 1.10 µM respectively. The compounds (1–4) were found to be inactive against carbonic anhydrase enzyme. Thiourea was used as standard inhibitor (21 ± 0.14 µM) of urease enzyme.
Collective dynamics of Fermi-surface fluctuations in an interacting Weyl metal phase

description: Introducing both the Berry curvature and chiral anomaly into the Landau's Fermi-liquid theory, we investigate collective dynamics of Fermi-surface fluctuations and reveal their instabilities in an interacting Weyl metal phase with broken time reversal symmetry. Based on the Boltzmann-equation framework, we find criteria for the stability of the topological Fermi-liquid state as a function of forward scattering Landau's interaction parameters and the distance of a pair of Weyl points given by an external magnetic field. In addition to these instability criteria for general angular momentum channels, we investigate the dispersion relation of the zero-sound mode as the simplest example of such Fermi-surface fluctuations. Zero sound modes are well-defined collective excitations in a Landau's Fermi-liquid state, given by the collective dynamics of Fermi-surface deformations in the spin-singlet channel with zero angular momentum, where their instability is related with phase separation. We find that the role of the Berry curvature changes the instability criteria of the Landau's Fermi-liquid state. Even if the zero-sound mode is stable in the region of the forward-scattering amplitude, the Berry curvature gives rise to Landau damping beyond the Landau's Fermi-liquid theory. Based on the instability criterion of the zero-sound mode, we propose a phase diagram for a topological Fermi-liquid state against the phase separation in the plane of Landau's interaction parameter and effective Berry curvature, which generalizes the one-dimensional phase diagram of the Landau's Fermi-liquid theory.
Multi-Wavelength Surveys of Extreme Infrared Populations

description: This Thesis presents a study of galaxies and quasars from the viewpoint of their optical, infrared and X-ray properties by combining optical data from Gemini and WIYN with near to far-IR and optical data from the SWIRE survey and X-ray data from Chandra. This work represents the largest existing optical spectroscopic survey in ELAIS-N1 with ∽300 reliable spectroscopic redshifts and the largest Xray survey, in the same field, which has extended the previous X-ray coverage in ELAIS-N1 by a factor of 12 and has detected more than 600 X-ray sources. Optical spectroscopy is used both to calibrate photometric redshift techniques and distinguish between star forming galaxies and quasars. The merged X-ray, optical and infrared catalogue is used to determine spectral energy distributions and correctly identify and characterize AGN, star forming galaxies and the link between black hole growth and star formation in the host galaxy.

Lévy Processes, Representations and Models with Application in Finance
Creators: name: Yip, Wing Yan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Lévy processes are becoming increasingly important in Mathematical Finance. This thesis aims to contribute to the development of theoretical representations of Lévy processes and their financial applications. The first part of the thesis presents a computational explicit formula of the chaotic representation property (CRP) for the powers of increments of a Lévy process. The formula can be used to obtain the integrands of the CRP in terms of the orthogonalised compensated power jump processes and the CRP in terms of Poisson random measures. The second part of the thesis presents hedging strategies for European and exotic options in a Lévy market. By applying Taylor's theorem, dynamic hedging portfolios are constructed and in the case of European options, static hedging is also implemented. It is shown that perfect hedging can be achieved by investing in power jump assets, moment swaps or some traded financial derivatives depending on the same underlying asset. Note that variance swaps are special cases of moment swaps and are traded in OTC (Over-The- Counter) markets. We can also hedge by constructing the minimal variance portfolios that invest in the risk-free bank account, the underlying stock and variance swaps. The numerical algorithms and performance of the hedging strategies are presented. The third part of the thesis contributes to the design of an option trading strategy, where the stock price is driven by a Lévy process. The trading strategy is based on comparing the deviations between the density implied by historical time series and that implied by current market prices of the options. The performance of the trading strategy under di¤erent market conditions is reported and optimal parameters are obtained using efficient frontier analysis. The analysis compares the expected returns with the Conditional Value at Risks (CVaRs). Simulation results show that the trading strategy has a high earning potential.
Scaling Properties of the Giant Dipole Resonance Width in Hot Rotating nuclei

description: We study the systematics of the giant dipole resonance width $Γ$ in hot rotating nuclei as a function of temperature $T$, spin $J$ and mass $A$. We compare available experimental results with theoretical calculations that include thermal shape fluctuations in nuclei ranging from A=45 to A=208. Using the appropriate scaled variables, we find a simple phenomenological function $Γ(A,T,J)$ which approximates the global behavior of the giant dipole resonance width in the liquid drop model. We reanalyze recent experimental and theoretical results for the resonance width in Sn isotopes and $^{208}$Pb.

Three generations on a local vortex in extra dimensions
Creators: name: Frere, J. -M.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop an approach to the origin of three generations of the Standard Model fermions from one generation in a higher-dimensional theory, where four-dimensional fermions appear as zero modes trapped in the core of a topological defect, and the hierarchy of masses and mixings is produced by wave function overlaps in extra dimensions. We present a model with unbroken U(1) symmetry where three zero modes appear on an Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortex due to nontrivial scalar--fermion interactions.

The socio-technical dynamics of chemical feedstock transitions : the case of renewable raw materials in the UK
Creators: name: Bennett, Simon J.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Much public and private effort is being directed towards the development of more sustainable chemical feedstocks, yet the associated complexities of technological transitions and the technical, institutional and policy-related challenges they raise are often not wholly recognised. This thesis aims to develop an understanding of the key dynamics of technological change in the chemical industry, with respect to changes in feedstocks and the influence of the changing energy (and climate policy) landscape. It builds on, and contributes to, the ‘innovations’ literature that seeks to translate empirical research on past technological transitions into practical guidance for policy-makers. In particular, this thesis explores the relevance of the close relationship – or ‘co-evolution’ – between chemicals and liquid fuels production, which has not been analysed elsewhere. Transitions between technological systems involve evolutionary processes. The past both shapes the current system and influences future options and pathways. This thesis investigates the historical transition from coal-based to petrochemical feedstocks in the UK (1921-1967), applying a system dynamics approach to extract and elucidate the key interrelationships between technologies, policy and society. The findings are then used to inform a series of interviews with key organisations to gain insights into expectations for renewable raw materials (RRM) in the UK. The results provide a strong indication of the decision-making procedures of actors, and tensions between different industrial activities. They thus provide an empirical basis for developing foresight scenarios that might help inform the current debate about technological transitions, especially those to RRM. This thesis shows that the technological trajectory of the organic chemical industry has for many decades been influenced heavily by governmental attempts to steer technological change towards a changing set of policy priorities. This process has been accompanied by attempts of industrialists to steer policy priorities towards preferred technological trajectories. Parallels can be drawn with the current attempts of policymakers to achieve greater societal sustainability. Results indicate that the innovation system around RRM is already experiencing the socio-technical dynamics of regime disruption and competing designs.
Elliptic non-Abelian Donaldson-Thomas invariants of $\mathbb{C}^3$

description: We compute the elliptic genus of the D1/D7 brane system in flat space, finding a non-trivial dependence on the number of D7 branes, and provide an F-theory interpretation of the result. We show that the JK-residues contributing to the elliptic genus are in one-to-one correspondence with coloured plane partitions and that the elliptic genus can be written as a chiral correlator of vertex operators on the torus. We also study the quantum mechanical system describing D0/D6 bound states on a circle, which leads to a plethystic exponential formula that can be connected to the M-theory graviton index on a multi-Taub-NUT background. The formula is a conjectural expression for higher-rank equivariant K-theoretic Donaldson-Thomas invariants on $\mathbb{C}^3$.

description: We show that a wide class of $W$-(super)algebras, including $W_N^{(N-1)}$, $U(N)$-superconformal as well as $W_N$ nonlinear algebras, can be linearized by embedding them as subalgebras into some {\em linear} (super)conformal algebras with finite sets of currents. The general construction is illustrated by the example of $W_4$ algebra.

High numerical aperture Mueller matrix polarimetry and applications to multiplexed optical data storage
Creators: name: Macias Romero, Carlos Alberto
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Optical data storage has reached a point where it is no longer possible to increase the storage capacity of an optical disk by conventional means. The work presented here, however, proves experimentally the validity of a novel solution to increase the capacity of an optical disk. Polarisation is used to store information multiplexed into shape-birefringent pits. A high numerical aperture scanning confocal microscope capable of measuring the Muller matrix of a sample is built to measure and characterise the polarisation properties of such pits. A number of results found during the development of the apparatus are given. Novel contributions are shown in the areas of imaging, the theory of coherence and polarisation, polarisation imaging, linear algebra, polarisation confocal microscopy, and optical data storage. It is shown that the storage capacity of any existent non-volumetric optical technology can be increased by 7.16 times, at least.

description: Investigation of various phenomena occurring in sewer systems is critical for increasing the sustainability of such systems. Such investigations also includes gross solids (GS) transport. GS transport may be affected by reduction of flows resulting from population decrease and/or reduced domestic water consumption. The present paper reports on the development of a model for describing GS velocity as a function of wastewater flow characteristics. The model was calibrated and validated with field experiments, in which two methods for GS tracking in sewers were developed, using small light sticks tracked by computerized light detector, and RFID based tracking. The model is integrated in a simulator which allows a description of the movement of individual GS through sewer systems. The developed model may assist in analysing existing sewer systems that are subject to changes in their input flows and prevent undesired failures (e.g. sedimentations, blockages, toxic gases) or in designing new systems.

description: Effective field theory, including pions, provides a consistent and systematic description of nucleon-nucleon strong interactions up to center-of-mass momentum of order 300 MeV per nucleon. We describe the inclusion of hadronic parity violation into this effective field theory and find an analytic form for the deuteron anapole moment at leading order in the expansion.
