Better Use of Data to improve parent Satisfaction (BUDS): a mixed method project using quality improvement methodology to improve parent experience of neonatal care
Creators: name: Sakonidou, Susanna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Background: Neonatal care is stressful for parents; national survey data show ‘parent satisfaction with receiving clinical information’ is low in England. Neonatal data are not routinely shared with parents; this could improve satisfaction with neonatal care. There is a lack of interventions to improve neonatal data completeness. Aims: To use routinely-recorded data to co-develop, implement, and evaluate a neonatal communication tool with parents. Methods: I undertook a systematic review of interventions to improve parent satisfaction in neonatal care. I process-mapped parent/staff information exchange and parent information needs and co-created a communication tool using routinely-recorded data with parents. I adapted an existing survey and validated it for real-time feedback with cognitive interviews. I piloted the tool for 6 weeks on an NHS neonatal unit using quality improvement Plan-Do- Study-Act cycles, including quantitative and qualitative evaluation (parent satisfaction; staff workload; routinely-recorded data completeness/accuracy; parent/staff interviews). Results: In 32 studies (>2800 parents), 29 satisfaction surveys were used (six validated). 15% studies reported parent co-design; all had high risk of bias. I co-created ‘My Baby’s Summary Report’ (MBSR) with parents; a parent-centred, written, daily infant update derived from routinely-recorded data. I developed the ‘Parent Experiences of Communication in Neonatal Care’ (PEC) survey, the first validated UK real-time neonatal survey. The MBSR increased parent satisfaction with ‘amount of written information received’, parents were highly satisfied with it and more likely to recommend the neonatal unit (’NHS Friends and Family’ question); verbal communication frequency needs unexpectedly increased. Data completeness improved and accuracy was high (>=90%) for most items. Conclusions: Parent satisfaction in neonatal care is inconsistently measured, using unvalidated surveys in studies lacking parent involvement. The MBSR was co-created with parents and evaluated by a real-time validated survey. Parent satisfaction, routinely-recorded data completeness and verbal communication needs increased, supporting MBSR use as an adjunct to verbal communication. Keywords: Parent satisfaction, systematic review, survey, routine data

 Material examined: BR, PR, Morretes: 2 males, 1 female, 11.i.2012, M. C. Novaes & M. P. B. Bertolucci.
 Remarks. The above males have a forewing length of 10.1–11.0 mm and the female of 15.5 mm. The head is pale laterally (Fig. 31) and the wings are milky, resembling K. petersorum (Froehlich, 1996) and differing from the common color pattern of K. neotropica. The subgenital plates of the male (Fig. 32) and female (Fig. 37) and the penial armature (Figs. 33–35), agree with the concept of K. neotropica as presented by Bispo & Froehlich (2008). Therefore, at this time, we accept the above noted differences as variation exhibited by K. neotropica. Further studies, especially molecular analyses of specimens from different localities are required to determine if cryptic species are present.

Time-bin encoding for optical quantum computing

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Scalability has been a longstanding issue in implementing large-scale photonic experiments for optical quantum computing. Traditional encodings based on the polarisation or spatial degrees of freedom become extremely resource-demanding when the number of modes becomes large, as the need for many nonclassical sources of light and the number of beam splitters required become unfeasible. Alternatively, time-bin encoding paves the way to overcome some of these limitations, as it only requires a single quantum light source and can be scaled to many temporal modes through judicious choice of pulse sequence and delays. Such an apparatus constitutes an important step toward large-scale experiments with low resource consumption. This work focuses on the time-bin encoding implementation. First, we assess its feasibility by thoroughly investigating its performance through numerical simulations under realistic conditions. We identify the critical components of the architecture and find that it can achieve performances comparable to state-of-the-art devices. Moreover, we consider two implementation approaches, in fibre and free space, and enumerate their strengths and weaknesses. Subsequently, we delve into the lab to explore these schemes and the key components involved therein. For the fibre case, we report the first implementation of time-bin encoded Gaussian boson sampling and use the samples obtained from the device to search for dense subgraphs of sizes three and four in a 10-node graph. Finally, we complement the study of the time-bin encoding with two side projects that contribute to the broad spectrum of enabling techniques for quantum information science. First, we demonstrate the ability to perform photon-number resolving measurements with a commercial superconducting nanowire single-photon detector system and apply it to improve the statistics of a heralded single-photon source. Second, we demonstrate that by employing a phase-tunable coherent state, we can fully characterise a multimode Gaussian state through solely the low-order photon statistics.

description: A multi-pole, multi-zero design allowed realizing a "true" phase-shifter (not time-delayer) of flat frequency-response over more than 3 decades (30Hz-100kHz), which can be extended to higher frequencies or broader bands thanks to a modular design. Frequency-dependent optimization of a single resistance made also the gain flat to within few percents. The frequency-independent phase-shifter presented can find application in any experiment in which an action needs to be taken (e.g. a measurement needs to be performed) at a fixed phase-delay relative to an event, regardless of how rapidly the system rotates or oscillates.

Whole exome investigation of infertility in men with azoospermia
Creators: name: Sindi, Emad Rashad B
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Male infertility is a disabling condition that affects 7% of men worldwide. The most severe form of male infertility is non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and approximately 20% of men with NOA have no identified cause. These patients are classified as idiopathic NOA. There is some data suggesting that the majority of men with idiopathic NOA have a genetic cause. The development of newer genetic sequencing technologies have allowed researchers to gain a better understanding of the genes contributing to spermatogenesis and those potentially causing NOA. In the present work, I have investigated clinical, biochemical, genetic and histological findings in men with NOA. I recruited 101 participants with azoospermia, and 48 of this cohort were diagnosed with idiopathic NOA. The cohort included 19 men with known causes of NOA and 24 men with obstructive azoospermia. Whole exome sequencing was performed on blood samples of men with idiopathic NOA for identification of candidate variants. I also recorded the available clinical factors, hormone profiles and testicular histopathology for all participants. The analysis of the sequenced data from the 48 men with idiopathic NOA identified 11 novel candidate variants. There were seven novel candidate Loss of Function (LoF) variants in men with NOA (MEIOB c.1140_1143del; FKBP6 c.469−2A>T; ANKRD36B c.2715T>G; FAM47C c.1536del; PKD2L2 c.1690C>T; FAM122C, c.427C>T; MCMDC2 c.108del) and four missense variants (YBX2 c.200G>A; MEIOB c.988A>C, PKD2L2 c.1391C>T; MCMDC2 c.119A>G). Two of the LoF (MEIOB and FKBP6) and two of the missense variants (MEIOB and YBX2) have functional evidence to support their association with azoospermia. The identified genes in NOA subjects showed a testicular phenotype matching the genes expression site during spermatogenesis. There was a significant decrease in testicular volume (p= 0.0392) and a significant increase in serum FSH (p=0.0014) in men with NOA compared to men with obstructive azoospermia (OA). Additionally, data is showing that identified variants have testicular histology phenotypes matching their site of expression. FKBP6, MEIOB, PKD2L2, and MCMDC2 genes are normally expressed in spermatocytes. Patients identified with variants in these genes were found to have histology phenotypes of maturation arrest at spermatocyte level. This could potentially be used to predict the histology phenotypes without surgical intervention. I have identified novel genetic variants in men with idiopathic NOA but further studies are needed to confirm causality. Genetic analysis can potentially improve our understanding of fertility by identifying genes involved in spermatogenesis and novel variants in men with infertility.

description: The response of a CdWO4 crystal scintillator to protons, alpha particles, Li, C, O and Ti ions with energies in the range 1 - 10 MeV was measured. The non-proportionality of CdWO4 for low energy electrons (4 - 110 keV) was studied with the Compton Coincidence Technique. The energy dependence of the quenching factors for ions and the relative light yield for low energy electrons was calculated using a semi-empirical approach. Pulse-shape discrimination ability between gamma quanta, protons, alpha particles and ions was investigated.

Developing standards and workflows for high-throughput and surveillance diagnostics applications
Creators: name: Crone, Michael Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: With globalisation there comes an increased risk of the emergence and spread of infectious diseases with pandemic potential. Many nations are not currently equipped with the tools necessary to perform biosurveillance and rapidly respond to biological risks through the development and implementation of suitable diagnostics. This thesis describes the develop- ment of suitable Working Standards for RNA and DNA viral pathogens that can be utilised for diagnostic development. A SARS-CoV-2 RNA Working Standard was developed in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and used to validate a high-throughput extraction and RT-qPCR diagnostic workflow, along with other alternative molecular assays. The workflow was then further optimised by validating an adaptive group testing approach in an accredited diagnostic laboratory and exploring the potential of non-adaptive group testing. Finally, all materials for producing the Standards were made available under the openMTA and protocols for diagnos- tic development published to allow for companies, health agencies and academics to develop their own diagnostic workflows to respond to current and future biological threats.
Efficient graph state generation and artificial error detection

description: How to generate photonic cluster state or graph state efficiently is the main problem in optical measurement-based quantum computation. Assisted by the cross phase modulation technique, we propose an efficient scheme to realize the cascade CZ operation, which could be used to generate universal cluster state, with the controlled-path gate as element operation. Especially, for the wheel cluster state, the generation processes are obviously simpler than the former approaches. Moreover, we consider the artificial error that one forgot to operate one or some single photons during the generation processes cross-type, star-type graph state. This error likely occurs in the large scale of graph state generation with one-by-one pattern and is firstly considered in this paper. With the present approach, it is possible to judge whether all the involved single photons are connected as desired or not, i.e., detect the artificial error with the success probability 1/2.

description: Electric field noise is a hinderance to the assembly of large scale quantum computers based on entangled trapped ions. Apart from ubiquitous technical noise sources, experimental studies of trapped ion heating have revealed additional limiting contributions to this noise, originating from atomic processes on the electrode surfaces. In a recent work [A. Safavi-Naini et al., Phys. Rev. A 84, 023412 (2011)] we described a microscopic model for this excess electric field noise, which points a way towards a more systematic understanding of surface adsorbates as progenitors of electric field jitter noise. Here, we address the impact of surface monolayer contamination on adsorbate induced noise processes. By using exact numerical calculations for H and N atomic monolayers on an Au(111) surface representing opposite extremes of physisorption and chemisorption, we show that an additional monolayer can significantly affect the noise power spectrum and either enhance or suppress the resulting heating rates.

description: Domestic properties make a significant contribution to carbon emissions and we must retrofit the majority of existing homes to reach net-zero. Nowhere is this task more challenging than in Multi-Owned Properties (MoPs), chiefly due to the difficulties of reaching an agreement between co-owners. Prevailing conceptualisations that treat individuals as discrete, isolated decision-makers are problematic in addressing the collective decision-making processes of MoPs. Drawing upon ideas from relational sociology, especially Zelizer’s concept of ‘relational work’, we argue that current retrofit policymaking unduly neglects those efforts to build relations of trust between parties and which underpin all economic transactions. We deploy two of Hargreaves and Middlemiss’ three types of social relations (intimacy and institutions) as an analytical framework to understand attitudes towards and experiences of renovation work in historic MoPs in south Glasgow, UK. We find that the increased relational work required to smooth relations between neighbours in an MoP is a barrier, but that more intimate relations between neighbours in MoPs can be supportive of renovation works. Furthermore, inadequately designed legislation inhibits renovations in MoPs, as it subjects householders to excessive relational work. To improve retrofit policymaking, we propose: 1) a model of MoP governance which balances owner engagement and professional administration; and, 2) transparent and accountable property managers, who are adequately supported to provide leadership in delivering MoP retrofit.

description: A unified, Bayesian inference of midplane electron temperature and density profiles using both Thompson scattering (TS) and interferometric data is presented. Beyond the Bayesian nature of the analysis, novel features of the inference are the use of a Gaussian process prior to infer a mollification length-scale of inferred profiles and the use of Gauss-Laguerre quadratures to directly calculate the depolarisation term associated with the TS forward model. Results are presented from an application of the method to data from the high resolution TS system on the Mega-Ampere Spherical Tokamak, along with a comparison to profiles coming from the standard analysis carried out on that system.

The viscosity parameter alpha and the properties of accretion disc outbursts in close binaries

description: The physical mechanisms driving angular momentum transport in accretion discs are still unknown. Although it is generally accepted that, in hot discs, the turbulence triggered by the magneto-rotational instability is at the origin of the accretion process in Keplerian discs, it has been found that the values of the stress-to-pressure ratio (the alpha "viscosity" parameter) deduced from observations of outbursting discs are an order of magnitude higher than those obtained in numerical simulations. We test the conclusion about the observation-deduced value of alpha using a new set of data and comparing the results with model outbursts. We analyse a set of observations of dwarf-nova and AM CVn star outbursts and from the measured decay times determine the hot-disc viscosity parameter alpha_h. We determine if and how this method is model dependent. From the dwarf-nova disc instability model we determine an amplitude vs recurrence-time relation and compare it to the empirical Kukarkin-Parenago relation between the same, but observed, quantities. We found that all methods we tried, including the one based on the amplitude vs recurrence-time relation, imply alpha_h ~ 0.1 - 0.2 and exclude values an order of magnitude lower. The serious discrepancy between the observed and the MRI-calculated values of the accretion disc viscosity parameter alpha is therefore real since there can be no doubt about the validity of the values deduced from observations of disc outbursts.

Bureaucratic and Market Sources of Epistemic Authority

Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2022
Subjects: International relations

description: In International Relations (IR) scholarship, the epistemic communities’ framework has gained relevance for explaining the roles of experts in the context of transnational global governance. However, IR scholars have criticized the framework for descriptive reasoning. This paper aims to strengthen its explanatory power by following rules of a systematic literature review and by using Desmond’s conception of professionalism to further develop Cross’s model of epistemic community. Desmond introduced his concept of professionalism as a response to bureaucratic and market trends in scientific research and Cross developed her concept of professionalism as a comprehensive reconceptualization of Haas’s original model of an epistemic community. The results confirm compatibility between the two concepts. Following the structure of Cross’s model of professionalism, individual autonomy operationalizes selection and training, collective autonomy covers the face-to-face meetings, and the service provision operationalizes the common culture.
Differentiability of quasiconvex functions on separable Banach spaces

description: We investigate the differentiability properties of real-valued quasiconvex functions f defined on a separable Banach space X. Continuity is only assumed to hold at the points of a dense subset. If so, this subset is automatically residual. Sample results that can be quoted without involving any new concept or nomenclature are as follows: (i) If f is usc or strictly quasiconvex, then f is Hadamard differentiable at the points of a dense subset of X (ii) If f is even, then f is continuous and Gateaux differentiable at the points of a dense subset of X. In (i) or (ii), the dense subset need not be residual but, if X is also reflexive, it contains the complement of a Haar null set. Furthermore, (ii) remains true without the evenness requirement if the definition of Gateaux differentiability is generalized in an unusual, but ultimately natural, way. The full results are much more general and substantially stronger. In particular, they incorporate the well known theorem of Crouzeix, to the effect that every real-valued quasiconvex function on R^N is Frechet differentiable a.e.

description: Οι λόγοι που με ώθησαν στο να επιλέξω το συγκεκριμένο θέμα, ήταν η αναζήτηση λύσεων στο χρόνιο και δυσεπίλυτο πρόβλημα της διαχείρισης των υγρών αποβλήτων από την επεξεργασία της βρώσιμης ελιάς στο Νομό Μεσσηνίας. Οι ποσότητες υγρών αποβλήτων που παράγονται τόσο κατά την παραγωγική διαδικασία της εκπίκρανσης της βρώσιμης ελιάς όσο και κατά την συντήρηση και συσκευασία κάθε ελαιοκομικής περιόδου, σε συνδυασμό με τα χαρακτηριστικά τους (υψηλή συγκέντρωση φαινολικών ενώσεων και οργανικού φορτιού) καθιστούν τα υγρά απόβλητα τοξικά. Έτσι, απαιτείται η διαχείριση των υγρών αποβλήτων με μονάδες επεξεργασίας πριν τον τελικό αποδέκτη.
Στην Ελλάδα έχει ιδρυθεί και δραστηριοποιείται η εταιρεία Zeologic που με τις καινοτόμες μεθόδους της επεξεργασίας αποβλήτων, κυρίως υγρών, μελετήσαμε και προτείνουμε ένα σχέδιο εγκατάστασης μονάδας επεξεργασίας υγρών αποβλήτων στην εταιρεία Αλφα Μεσσηνίας. Σύφωνα με τη πρότυπη γεωχημική μέθοδο που προτείνει η Zeologic τα επεξεργασμένα λύματα που παράγωνται είναι υψηλής ποιότητας νερού το οποίο μπορεί να επαναχρησιμοποιηθεί και να διατεθεί σε φυσικούς αποδέκτες χωρίς επιπλέον επεξεργασία.
Τέλος η συγκεκριμένη λύση που δόθηκε είναι απαράτητη για το εργοστάσιο Άλφα Μεσσηνιάς τόσο για αποδοτικούς όσο για οικονομικούς λόγους.
description: The reasons that prompted me to choose this particular issue were the search for solutions to the chronic and insoluble problem of wastewater management from the processing of edible olives in the Prefecture of Messinia. The quantities of liquid waste produced both during the production process of the desertification of the edible olives and during the maintenance and packaging of each olive oil period, together with their characteristics (high concentration of phenolic compounds and organic load) make the liquid waste toxic. Thus, wastewater treatment with treatment units is required before the final recipient.
In Greece Zeologic has been established and operates with the innovative methods of wastewater treatment, mainly liquid, we have studied and propose a plan for the installation of a wastewater treatment plant at Alpha Messinia.
According to Zeologic's standard geochemical method, the treated effluent is high quality water which can be reused and disposed of natural recipients without further treatment. Lastly, the specific solution given is indispensable for the Alfa Messinias plant for both cost-effective and economical reasons.

description: We perform a detailed analysis of first order Sobolev-regular infinitesimal isometries on developable surfaces without affine regions. We prove that given enough regularity of the surface, any first order infinitesimal isometry can be matched to an infinitesimal isometry of an arbitrarily high order. We discuss the implications of this result for the elasticity of thin developable shells.
Robust laser-free entanglement with trapped ions
Creators: name: Valahu, Christophe Henri
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Trapped ions with microwave radiation are a promising platform for universal quantum computing. However, a major obstacle in the way of scalability is the coupling of the qubits to their noisy environment. This thesis offers means to improve the fidelity of two-qubit entangling gates. To this end, we investigate noise from classical control hardware and study quantum control methods that increase the gate’s robustness. The noise spectrums of classical control hardware typically exhibit non-Markovian behaviour. Therefore, a transfer function in frequency space is derived for each source, transforming hardware noise to qubit-frame noise. It is found that voltage noise on the electrodes is a significant contribution to decoherence as it displaces the ions within the static magnetic field gradient. We propose and demonstrate a voltage noise cancellation scheme that is compatible with microfabricated surface traps. We then identify a library of quantum control methods that increase the robustness of a bichromatic interaction to both spin and motional decoherence. We also propose a novel σz ⊗ σz entangling gate which makes use of the intrinsic J-coupling interaction of ions in a static magnetic gradient. The resulting interaction is virtually insensitive to motional decoherence, which alleviates stringent experimental requirements. We finally demonstrate a bichromatic interaction that is simultaneously robust to spin and motional decoherence, by means of continuous dynamical decoupling and phase modulation on the sidebands. Recalling that noise in the ion’s position couples into magnetic field noise due to the static magnetic field gradient, we use this noise mechanism as the basis of a promising electric field sensor. We experimentally demonstrate AC electrometry with a sensitivity of S = 7.0(5)mVm−1Hz−1/2. Noise spectroscopy was also demonstrated and was limited by the noise floor, where the minimum sensitivity was 545 nVm−1Hz−1/2.

description: We investigate the localization properties of the single particle spectrum of a one-dimensional speckle potential in a box. We consider both the repulsive and the attractive cases. The system is controlled by two parameters: the size of the box and a rescaled potential intensity. The latter is a function of the particle mass, the correlation length and the average intensity of the field. Depending on both these parameters values and the considered energy level, the eigenstates exhibit different regimes of localization. In order to identify the regimes for the excited states, we use a technique developed in this work. Depending on the chosen parameters values, we find that it is possible not observing any effective mobility edge nor delocalization of the eigenstates due to the finite size of the system.
