description: Clinical trials in the era of precision cancer medicine aim to identify and validate biomarker signatures which can guide the assignment of individually optimal treatments to patients. In this article, we propose a group sequential randomized phase II design, which updates the biomarker signature as the trial goes on, utilizes enrichment strategies for patient selection, and uses Bayesian response-adaptive randomization for treatment assignment. To evaluate the performance of the new design, in addition to the commonly considered criteria of Type I error and power, we propose four new criteria measuring the benefits and losses for individuals both inside and outside of the clinical trial. Compared with designs with equal randomization, the proposed design gives trial participants a better chance to receive their personalized optimal treatments and thus results in a higher response rate on the trial. This design increases the chance to discover a successful new drug by an adaptive enrichment strategy, i.e. identification and selective enrollment of a subset of patients who are sensitive to the experimental therapies. Simulation studies demonstrate these advantages of the proposed design. It is illustrated by an example based on an actual clinical trial in non-small-cell lung cancer.

description: In this paper, we revisit one-channel time reversal (TR) experiments through multiple scattering media in the framework of the self-consistent multiple scattering theory. The hyper resolution and the self-averaging property are retrieved. The developed formalism leads to a deeper understanding of the role of the ladder and most-crossed diagrams in a TR experiment, and also establishes the link between TR and Coherent Backscattering (CBS). Especially, we show that when the initial source and the time reversal point are at the same location, the time-reversed amplitude is twice higher. Surprisingly, this enhancement is due to the ladder diagrams and not to the most-crossed ones, contrary to CBS. These theoretical predictions are confirmed by experimental results. The experiments are performed with ultrasonic waves propagating through a random collection of parallel steel rods.

description: Verfahren des maschinellen Lernens können dazu beitragen, Aussagen in Aufgaben im offenen Format in großen Stichproben zu analysieren. Am Beispiel von Aussagen von Biologielehrkräften, Biologie-Lehramtsstudierenden und Fachdidaktiker*innen zu den fünf Teilkompetenzen von Modellkompetenz (NTraining = 456; NKlassifikation = 260) wird die Qualität maschinellen Lernens mit vier Algorithmen (naïve Bayes, logistic regression, support vector machines und decision trees) untersucht. Evidenz für die Validität der Interpretation der Kodierungen einzelner Algorithmen liegt mit zufriedenstellender bis guter Übereinstimmung zwischen menschlicher und computerbasierter Kodierung beim Training (345–607 Aussagen je nach Teilkompetenz) vor, bei der Klassifikation (157–260 Aussagen je nach Teilkompetenz) reduziert sich dies auf eine moderate Übereinstimmung. Positive Korrelationen zwischen dem kodierten Niveau und dem externen Kriterium Antwortlänge weisen darauf hin, dass die Kodierung mit naïve Bayes keine gültigen Ergebnisse liefert. Bedeutsame Attribute, die die Algorithmen bei der Klassifikation nutzen, entsprechen relevanten Begriffen der Niveaufestlegungen im zugrunde liegenden Kodierleitfaden. Abschließend wird diskutiert, inwieweit maschinelles Lernen mit den eingesetzten Algorithmen bei Aussagen zur Modellkompetenz die Qualität einer menschlichen Kodierung erreicht und damit für Zweitkodierungen oder in Vermittlungssituationen genutzt werden könnte.

A Structured Covariance Probit Demand Model

Subjects: subject: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods
subject: Probit demand system
subject: Structured covariance

description: This paper introduces a heterogeneous agent discrete choice probit demand model with a structural interpretation of product choice covariance designed to overcome two hurdles in discrete choice demand modeling. One hurdle is the curse of dimensionality implicit in covariance probit demand models and the other hurdle is the independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) implicit in logit demand models. The structured covariance probit exploits the fact that choice models rely on utility differences to achieve identification. The utility difference structure implied by the additive random utility model is imposed on the covariance matrix and requires just one parameter in addition to those specified in the deterministic component of consumer utility. As an additional advantage the structured covariance probit is a better out-of-sample predictor because it allows covariance to change according to characteristics of the market. To estimate the model the paper develops a Bayesian estimation approach. The model also incorporates a Dirichlet process prior over normally distributed consumer segment clusters to flexibly model demand heterogeneity. The new model is evaluated relative to the widely used heterogeneous consumer logit demand model. Sampling experiments confirm that the model performs well under misspecification. An empirical analysis demonstrates that the new probit model captures realistic unrestricted switching behavior whereas its logit counterpart exhibits restrictiveness inconsistent with the utility theory on which the model is based.
Bound entangled states violate a non-symmetric local uncertainty relation

description: As a consequence of having a positive partial transpose, bound entangled states lack many of the properties otherwise associated with entanglement. It is therefore interesting to identify properties that distinguish bound entangled states from separable states. In this paper, it is shown that some bound entangled states violate a non-symmetric class of local uncertainty relations (quant-ph/0212090). This result indicates that the asymmetry of non-classical correlations may be a characteristic feature of bound entanglement.

New degrees of freedom for metamaterials and metasurfaces: from hidden spatial dimensions to dynamical structures
Creators: name: Galiffi, Emanuele
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis I discuss different options to extend the number of degrees of freedom for wave control in metamaterials. The first part explores how additional compacted dimensions might be realised by engineering geometrical singularities in structured plasmonic surfaces, focusing on graphene implementations. A semiclassical treatment of nonlocality in singular plasmonic metasurfaces is provided, along with more accurate models of the effects of common graphene substrates. The second part deals with the use of the dimension of time as an additional degree of freedom for metamaterials. I propose a new strategy based on temporal inhomogeneities for coupling far-field radiation with evanescent modes, realising the temporal analogue of the Wood anomaly in plasmonics, and then continue with two new instances of nonreciprocal wave effects, demonstrating how Fresnel drag can be engineered in spatiotemporally modulated matter at rest. Finally, I show a novel amplification mechanism, based on copropagating travelling-wave modulations, and propose a class of implementations in double-layer, dispersive conductive surfaces.

description: In this work, we present the first detailed analysis of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 in the hard X-ray energy range with the IBIS coded-mask telescope on board the INTEGRAL observatory. The shell-type morphology of the entire remnant is mapped in hard X-rays for the first time and significantly detected up to 50 keV. The IBIS sky image of RX J1713.7-3946, accumulated over 14 years of operations, demonstrates two extended hard X-ray sources. These sources are spatially consistent with northwest and southwest rims of RX J1713.7-3946 and are also clearly visible at energies below 10 keV with XMM-Newton. This points to a single emission mechanism operating in soft and hard X-rays. The INTEGRAL 17-120 keV spectrum of RX J1713.7-3946 is characterized by a power-law continuum with the photon index of $Γ\approx3$, that is significantly softer than $Γ\approx2$ determined by XMM-Newton in the 1-10 keV energy range, suggesting a progressive steepening of the spectrum with the energy.

description: A new benzofuran derivative, nervione (1), was isolated from Nervilia concolor (Blume) Schltr. (Orchidaceae). Eight previously reported compounds were also isolated: 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (2), 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone (3), 7-methoxyflavone (4), 3,7-dimethoxy-5-hydroxyflavone (5), tetramethylscutellarein (4',5,6,7-tetramethoxyflavone) (6), 5,7-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxyflavone (7), rhamnetin (8), and 5,7-dihydroxy-3’,4’-dimethoxyflavone (9). The structures were elucidated by 1D, 2D NMR, and HRESIMS spectroscopy in addition to the literature. The relative configuration of 1 was defined using DP4+ probability while its absolute configuration was defined by comparison of the ECD spectrum of 1 with those of previously reported compounds. All isolated compounds were evaluated for alpha-glucosidase inhibition, revealing weak or no activity.

description: In the last fifteen years several techniques based on the holographic principle have been developed for the study of the 3D local order in solids. These methods use various particles: electrons, hard x-ray photons, gamma photons, or neutrons to image the atoms. Although the practical realisation of the various imaging experiments is very different, there is a common thread; the use of inside reference points for holographic imaging. In this paper we outline the basics of atomic resolution holography using inside reference points, especially concentrating to the hard x-ray case. Further, we outline the experimental requirements and what has been practically realized in the last decade. At last we give examples of applications and future perspectives.

Andricus pseudoflos (Monzen) Abe (2007: 478), ǒ.
Distribution. China (Liaoning, Shaanxi Province) (Abe 1986: 442), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) (Monzen 1929: 351; Monzen 1954: 26; Shinji 1944: 47; Abe 1986: 442; Abe 2007: 478), Korean Peninsula (Abe 1986: 442; PujadeVillar et al. 2020a: 1212), and the Russian Far East (Kovalev 1965: 32; Abe 1986: 442).
Remarks. Abe (1986) considered this species a synonym of A. targionii Kieffer, 1903, but later Abe (2007) confirmed its status as a distinct valid species based on cytological data and host plant associations. Therefore, all A. targionii collected on Q. dentata mentioned in Abe (1986) belong to A. pseudoflos, whereas all the A. targionii collected on Q. aliena belong to A. targionii.
Biology. Andricus pseudoflos is a purely parthenogenetic species derived from A. mukaigawae by loss of the sexual generation from an ancestral cyclically parthenogenetic lifecycle (Abe 2007; Wachi et al. 2012). It induces flower-like leaf galls on Q. dentata (sect. Quercus) (Table 1; Abe 2007).

description: Although obesity is already the leading public health crisis in the U.S., with an estimated social cost of approximately $120 billion a year and growing (Rowley, 2004), obesity incidence continues to increase at an alarming rate (Kuhn, 2002). The main culprits are the increase in the consumption of high-calorie foods and beverages and a decrease in exercise (Kuhn, 2002; Allhouse, Frazao, and Tupening, 2002). Paralleling the increase in obesity is the increase in consumption of carbonated soft drinks (Center for Science in the Public Interest, 2005; DiMeglio and Mattes, 2000). Carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) are a very large part of the American diet. These wellliked drinks account for approximately 30% of all beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) consumed in the U.S. (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2008). In 2000, Americans spent $61 billion on CSDs (National Soft Drink Association, 2003) and CSDs are among the best-selling products in American grocery stores (Center for Science in the Public Interest, 2005). Also in 2000, more than 15 billion gallons were sold in the United States, which equals every American consuming at least one 12-ounce can per day or an average of 53 gallons per year (Squires, 2001). This article examines consumer CSD choices and their implications for obesity policy. Specifically, it assesses the importance of product and consumer heterogeneity on consumer choices using a random coefficients logit model (Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes, 1995; hereafter BLP) and a national dataset that includes product and consumer characteristics. The estimated choice parameters are then linked to consumer body mass indexes (BMI) using a second-stage regression, and the effectiveness of tax policies assessed through counterfactual experiments.

description: In this paper, we simulate the Brazilian agriculture and transportation fuel sectors using a price endogenous mathematical programming model to analyze the impacts of recent changes in fuel policies and strong demand in world sugar markets on producers’ supply responses, consumers’ driving demand, fuel choice, and ethanol trade with the rest of the world. We also determine the land use change, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and economic surplus implications. The analysis considers various blending rates and taxation of different types of fuels. The model results show that when the ethanol blending rate is reduced in response to the increased sugar demand and resulting short supply of ethanol, the driving demand by conventional vehicles would be reduced significantly. When the tax rate is dropped by 7.5% and the blending rate remains at high levels, flex-fuel car users would switch from E100 to gasohol. Despite the reduction in driving demand, the total direct GHG emissions from Brazil would increase significantly due to the consumption of a more carbon intensive fuel blend.

description: The persistent proximity of insulating and metallic phases, a puzzling characterestic of manganites, is argued to arise from the self organization of the twofold degenerate e_g orbitals of Mn into localized Jahn-Teller(JT) polaronic levels and broad band states due to the large electron - JT phonon coupling present in them. We describe a new two band model with strong correlations and a dynamical mean-field theory calculation of equilibrium and transport properties. These explain the insulator metal transition and colossal magnetoresistance quantitatively, as well as other consequences of two state coexistence.

description: It has been claimed and disputed that World War II has been followed by a `long peace', an unprecedented decline of war. We conduct a full changepoint analysis of well-documented, publicly-available battle deaths datasets, using new techniques that enable the robust detection of changes in the statistical properties of such heavy-tailed data. We first test and calibrate these techniques. We then demonstrate the existence of changes, independent of data presentation, at around 1910 and 1950 CE, bracketing the World Wars, and around the 1830s and 1994 CE. Our analysis provides a methodology for future investigations and an empirical basis for political and historical discussions.

description: In response to the growing childhood obesity rate, the Children's Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative (CFBAI) was launched in November 2006. Our study presents the first empirical analysis of the impact of CFBAI on consumers' food choices. We combine monthly data on advertising exposure, measured by gross rating points and by age group between 2006 and 2008, and household candy purchases. We find that CFBAI has not produced significant changes in consumers' exposure to television advertising because its guidelines are vague. Nor has it had the intended effect on consumers' dietary choices. However, an observed reduction in advertising exposure could reduce households' purchase propensity by approximately 30-40% for specific candy products. This suggests that strengthening the link between reducing advertising on child-directed programs and reducing children's actual advertising exposure should be a priority in ensuring the future success of CFBAI.

description: The phase diagram of the simplest approximation to Double-Exchange systems, the bosonic Double-Exchange model with antiferromagnetic super-exchange coupling, is fully worked out by means of Monte Carlo simulations, large-N expansions and Variational Mean-Field calculations. We find a rich phase diagram, with no first-order phase transitions. The most surprising finding is the existence of a segment like ordered phase at low temperature for intermediate AFM coupling which cannot be detected in neutron-scattering experiments. This is signaled by a maximum (a cusp) in the specific heat. Below the phase-transition, only short-range ordering would be found in neutron-scattering. Researchers looking for a Quantum Critical Point in manganites should be wary of this possibility. Finite-Size Scaling estimates of critical exponents are presented, although large scaling corrections are present in the reachable lattice sizes.

Investigation of βAR-dependent cAMP signalling in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes
Creators: name: Hasan, Alveera
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) hold great potential for drug testing, cell therapy, and as models of genetic aberrations such as mutations, polymorphisms etc. However, current differentiation protocols do not produce cells which are as mature, both structurally and functionally, as adult cardiomyocytes. In mature cells, β-adrenergic (βAR) pathway regulates the rate and strength of myocyte contraction. This function is strictly regulated by locating βAR in microdomains such as caveolae, and by regulating pools of second messenger cAMP (particularly, via degradation by phosphodiesterases). Also, βAR activity depends on genetic variations within the population. In our study, we assessed βAR signalling in iPSC-CMs, depending on their genetic background and maturation state. Changes in βAR-dependent cAMP production were assessed in cells with different polymorphic alleles of βAR and at different states of maturation by FRET microscopy and myocyte contractility was measured by the IonOptix technique. We found that single nucleotide polymorphisms within the β2ARs influence receptor sensitivity and desensitisation upon stimulation with isoprenaline, leading to differing myocyte beating rate and cAMP responses. Three methods of increasing iPSC-CM maturation were explored: peptidomimetic technology, microcontact printing for making cell shape more adult-like and prolonged cell culture. Treatment with a mimetic peptide of Cavβ2 (a subunit of L-type calcium channel) showed enhanced development of T-tubules, though further investigation remains to be conducted. Microcontact printing positively influenced hiPSC-CMs shape and structural protein alignment, although little change in functional activity was noted. Prolonging time in culture led to an increase in the number of membrane caveolae and increased β2AR compartmentation in these microdomains, restricting cytoplasmic β2AR-dependent cAMP levels through localised phosphodiesterase activity. Interestingly, limited change of β1AR-dependent cAMP activity was observed. We conclude that β2AR signalling pathway compartmentation approaches the adult phenotype in iPSC-CMs with increased time in culture.

Optimising synthetic biosynthesis of natural products by yeast genome engineering
Creators: name: Gowers, Glen Oliver
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: The sustainable manufacturing of products is a cornerstone of society’s move towards a sustainable circular economy. Many industrial specialty and bulk chemicals that are normally derived from fossil fuel can also be made by engineering microbes with biosynthetic pathways. However, augmenting these microbes to reach industrial scale remains a bottleneck in adoption of biological manufacturing practices. Many new synthetic biology tools are being developed to address this bottleneck, leveraging the application of engineering principles to biology. Notably, advances in synthetic genomics are affording novel tools to optimise host microbes towards improved chemical biosynthesis. Furthermore, the modularisation of genetic parts has given rise to automated biosynthetic strain construction workflows. While these technological advances show great promise there remains a dependency on high throughput screening of candidate strains in order to identify those with the highest biosynthesis titre, and therefore most use to industry. Here, we explored an emerging black box tool to rearrange synthetic yeast chromosomes to rapidly create phenotype diversity. To complement this tool, we developed a higher throughput screening workflow that leveraged automation and a new ultra-fast LCMS method. Further to this we also developed a rapid pre-screening mass spectrometry tool that could screen yeast strains directly from the agar plate, obviating the need for any sample preparation. Finally, we explored how we could improve automated yeast strain construction workflows using a Design of Experiments framework to maximise the probability of identifying strains with the highest biosynthetic potential. Throughout this thesis we used biosynthesis of betulinic acid, a promising therapeutic precursor, as a test metabolite for which biosynthesis is a viable candidate for future industrial scale production. Together, this thesis explored emerging tools in synthetic biology for metabolic engineering and developed complementary higher throughput screening approaches to maximise the benefit they offer.

description: (TMTTF)$_2$SbF$_6$ is known to undergo a charge ordering (CO) phase transition at $T_{CO}\approx156K$ and another transition to an antiferromagnetic (AF) state at $T_N\approx 8K$. Applied pressure $P$ causes a decrease in both $T_{CO}$ and $T_N$. When $P>0.5 GPa$, the CO is largely supressed, and there is no remaining signature of AF order. Instead, the ground state is a singlet. In addition to establishing an expanded, general phase diagram for the physics of TMTTF salts, we establish the role of electron-lattice coupling in determining how the system evolves with pressure.

description: Importance: Machine learning (ML) approaches to facial landmark localization carry great clinical potential for quantitative assessment of facial function as they enable high-throughput automated quantification of relevant facial metrics from photographs. However, translation from research settings to clinical applications requires important improvements. Objective: To develop an ML algorithm for accurate facial landmarks localization in photographs of facial palsy patients, and use it as part of an automated computer-aided diagnosis system. Design, Setting, and Participants: Facial landmarks were manually localized in portrait photographs of eight expressions obtained from 200 facial palsy patients and 10 controls. A novel ML model for automated facial landmark localization was trained using this disease-specific database. Model output was compared to manual annotations and the output of a model trained using a larger database consisting only of healthy subjects. Model accuracy was evaluated by the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) between algorithms' prediction and manual annotations. Results: Publicly available algorithms provide poor results when applied to patients compared to healthy controls (NRMSE, 8.56 +/- 2.16 vs. 7.09 +/- 2.34, p << 0.01). We found significant improvement in facial landmark localization accuracy for the clinical population when using a model trained with a relatively small number patients' photographs (1440) compared to a model trained using several thousand more images of healthy faces (NRMSE, 6.03 +/- 2.43 vs. 8.56 +/- 2.16, p << 0.01). Conclusions: Retraining a landmark detection model with a small number of clinical images significantly improved landmark detection performance in frontal view photographs of the clinical population. These results represent the first steps towards an automatic system for computer-aided assessment in facial palsy.

The effect of starspots on eclipse timings of binary stars

description: We investigate the effects that starspots have on the light curves of eclipsing binaries and in particular how they may affect the accurate measurement of eclipse timings. Concentrating on systems containing a low-mass main-sequence star and a white dwarf, we find that if starspots exhibit the Wilson depression they can alter the times of primary eclipse ingress and egress by several seconds for typical binary parameters and starspot depressions. In addition, we find that the effect on the eclipse ingress/egress times becomes more profound for lower orbital inclinations. We show how it is possible, in principle, to determine estimates of both the binary inclination and depth of the Wilson depression from light curve analysis The effect of depressed starspots on the O-C diagrams of eclipsing systems is also investigated. It is found that the presence of starspots will introduce a `jitter' in the O-C residuals and can cause spurious orbital period changes to be observed. Despite this, we show that the period can still be accurately determined even for heavily spotted systems.
