Population-based risk stratification for colorectal cancer
Creators: name: Smith, Todd Bradley
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: In 2018 colorectal cancer (CRC) was estimated to account for 1,800,977 new cancer diagnoses and 861,663 deaths (1). CRC screening is frequently employed (2) to reduce this burden and has been demonstrated to be effective (3-7). However, the incorporation of risk prediction models into these programs could provide additional benefits, such as the ability to identify individuals at increased risk and thereby tailor their screening accordingly (8). This thesis explores the potential use of CRC risk prediction models in population-based screening and, as an extension, the impact that lifestyle can have on CRC risk. A systematic review (9) and its extension identified 16 CRC risk prediction models that did not require invasively acquired predictors. Their external validation in two large European cohorts (the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) and UK Biobank), identified several models with good levels of discrimination (C-statistics of up to 0.71) and calibration. Using two of the better performing models (10, 11) as exemplars, it was then investigated if the addition of a genetic risk score (GRS) for CRC could enhance model performance. Although it did not meaningfully do so at a population-level, it was observed that it may have a role in the further stratification of those at higher risk (absolute risk ≥1%). To conclude, the impact of lifestyle and genetic risk on the future incidence of CRC was explored. Demonstrating that a less healthy lifestyle is associated with an increased CRC risk (hazard ratio 1.60 [1.32, 1.95] in the UK Biobank and incidence rate ratio 1.93 [1.37, 2.72] in EPIC). This thesis supports the potential use of CRC risk prediction models within screening programmes. However, further work is required; this includes elucidating the optimal predictors for inclusion and undertaking impact and transportability assessments to further determine model utility.

description: The production of antibaryons is calculated in a microscopic transport approach employing multiple meson fusion reactions according to detailed balance relations with respect to baryon-antibaryon annihilation. It is found that the abundancies of antiprotons as observed from peripheral to central collisions of $Pb + Pb$ at the SPS and $Au + Au$ at the AGS can approximately be described on the basis of multiple interactions of 'formed' hadronic states which drive the system to chemical equilibrium by flavor exchange or quark rearrangement reactions.

description: Methylcellulose/cellulose nanocrystal (MC/CNC) nanocomposite fibers showing high ductility and high modulus of toughness were prepared by a simple aqueous wet-spinning from corresponding nanocomposite hydrogels into ethanol coagulation bath followed by drying. The hydrogel MC aq. concentration was maintained at 1 wt-% while the CNC aq. loading was systematically varied in the range 0 - 3 wt-%. This approach resulted in MC/CNC fiber compositions from 25/75 wt-%/wt-% to 95/5 wt-%/wt-%. The optimal mechanical properties were achieved with the MC/CNC composition of 80/20 wt-%/wt-% allowing high strain (36.1 %) and modulus of toughness (48.3 MJ/m^3), still keeping a high strength (190 MPa). Further, we demonstrate that the continuous spinning of MC/CNC fibers is potentially possible. The results indicate possibilities to spin MC-based highly ductile composite fibers from environmentally benign aqueous solvents.

Quantum, classical and semiclassical analyses of photon statistics in harmonic generation

description: In this review, we compare different descriptions of photon-number statistics in harmonic generation processes within quantum, classical and semiclassical approaches. First, we study the exact quantum evolution of the harmonic generation by applying numerical methods including those of Hamiltonian diagonalization and global characteristics. We show explicitly that the harmonic generations can indeed serve as a source of nonclassical light. Then, we demonstrate that the quasi-stationary sub-Poissonian light can be generated in these quantum processes under conditions corresponding to the so-called no-energy-transfer regime known in classical nonlinear optics. By applying method of classical trajectories, we demonstrate that the analytical predictions of the Fano factors are in good agreement with the quantum results. On comparing second and higher harmonic generations in the no-energy-transfer regime, we show that the highest noise reduction is achieved in third-harmonic generation with the Fano-factor of the third harmonic equal to 13/16.

description: In linear inverse problems, the goal is to recover a target signal from undersampled, incomplete or noisy linear measurements. Typically, the recovery relies on complex numerical optimization methods; recent approaches perform an unfolding of a numerical algorithm into a neural network form, resulting in a substantial reduction of the computational complexity. In this paper, we consider the recovery of a target signal with the aid of a correlated signal, the so-called side information (SI), and propose a deep unfolding model that incorporates SI. The proposed model is used to learn coupled representations of correlated signals from different modalities, enabling the recovery of multimodal data at a low computational cost. As such, our work introduces the first deep unfolding method with SI, which actually comes from a different modality. We apply our model to reconstruct near-infrared images from undersampled measurements given RGB images as SI. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed framework against single-modal deep learning methods that do not use SI, multimodal deep learning designs, and optimization algorithms.

description: In this report, rotational barriers of cyclopropane and piperazine rings of ciprofloxacin and its NH protonated form have been considered by DFT/6-31G(d) method. Moreover, quantum chemical parameters and electrostatic potential surface have been calculated by this method. It was found that the barrier to rotation of the cyclopropane ring in a narrow range is 5.46 kcal / mol, and in a wide range 11.16 kcal / mol. Rotation of the piperazine ring around the C-N bond revealed changes in the conformational forms of the piperazine ring relative to the plane of the quinolone fragment. The optimal structure was chosen according to DFT calculations from the two available structures of ciprofloxacin in the CCDC database. Furthermore, the metallo-complex formation using of ciprof-loxacin hydrochloride with zinc sulfate was analyzed by comparison of experimental and theoretical FTIR spectra of proposed the complex structure. The low frequency shift by 104 cm-1 of the C=O absorption band (1726 cm-1) of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in the obtained complex (1616 cm-1) is clearly assigned the complex formation.

description: During the past two decades food assistance policy has shifted toward local or regional food purchases for in-kind delivery and away from purchases from donor countries. While recent research and policy interest has focused on whether and when local purchases can have positive impacts in developing countries and, in particular, on smallholder farmer suppliers, the primary mandate of food assistance remains the predictable, safe, and cost effective acquisition of food for needy populations. Yet, to date, little is known about what drives successful contracting with farmers’ organizations (FOs). We utilize data from the World Food Programme Purchase for Progress pilot in three East African countries to examine what features of organizations, contracts, and contexts best predict successful purchases. Drawing on related literature, we examine four possible explanations: FO characteristics, repeated experience or relationships, contract modalities and how they relate to local market price dynamics, and country contexts, We find that, across countries, local price dynamics and contracting experience are consistently important; an increase in market price between contract approval and delivery is associated with a greater likelihood of default, and the more that FOs engage in contracts the less likely they are to default. The relative importance of these features varies across countries, however, and within certain contexts some FO characteristics also play a role. Our investigation hence yields both generalizable and context-specific insights, informing an ongoing debate in the food assistance community about whether – and when - procuring from smallholder farmers results in tradeoffs or synergies.

description: India has a long tradition of maintaining public rice and wheat stocks. Storage and trade policies helped to stabilize prices in the past. However, stock levels and costs are surging while it remains unknown how different factors quantitatively contribute to public stock levels or how private stockholders are affected. This study addresses these issues by empirically quantifying drivers of public carry-over rice stocks at the national level. Furthermore, it applies a recently developed method and combines it with an instrumental variable approach to quantify determinants of private grain stocks. Public storage is found to be inert and driven by the minimum support price (MSP), market supply, and export bans. Private stocks are driven by private supply (production and private stocks) and export opportunities. Each ton of public stocks crowds out half a ton of private stocks but despite huge government interventions, speculative storage activities persist. This is beneficial for consumers as the public stocks currently offer no crisis-responsive consumer protection – only export restrictions do. The 29% increase of the real minimum support price in 2008 contributed 4.9 million tons to public stocks, the export ban another 3.9. These factors, combined with the bumper harvests in 2010 and 2011, led to the recent surges in public stocks. Findings furthermore indicate that policy makers were aiming to implement price stabilizing policies in the wake of the world food crisis but did not anticipate that these policies would result in massive public stock increases. This underlines the need for adjustments in the current system. Different econometric models are applied as robustness checks and yield comparable results.

description: Objectives: Gabapentin (GBP) and pregabalin (PGL) misuse is increasing and is associated with an increasing number of deaths. Baclofen (BLF) is also being misused and deaths have been observed. However, it is impossible to gauge the extent of this issue with current selective post-mortem (PM) toxicological screening processes. This thesis describes the development of a method for screening and quantifying BLF, GBP and PGL in PM femoral-vein blood using protein precipitation followed by analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. PM femoral-vein bloods, from Coroners’ cases, were screened to determine the prevalence of BLF, GBP and PGL; all positive samples were quantified. The risks associated with poly-substance use, and the extent of under-reporting of these drugs in deaths due to selective toxicological screening were investigated. Setting and study population: Coroners’ cases submitted for routine toxicology testing from jurisdictions in London and South East England between 1st January 2016 and 31st December 2017. 3750 deceased aged ≥ 16 years were analysed. Results: Of 3750 samples analysed, 21 (0.6%) were positive for BLF, 118 (3.1%) for GBP and 229 (6.1%) were positive for PGL. If selective rather than routine screening of BLF, GBP and PGL had been performed, BLF would have been under-reported by 43%, GBP by 57.6% and PGL by 53.7% in deaths. The prevalence of GBP and PGL was 2.3 times and 4.1 times greater in heroin users compared to non-heroin users, respectively. It was determined that a GBP concentration of ≥ 40 µg/mL and a PGL of ≥ 20 µg/mL should be considered as significant. Conclusions: This study suggests GBP and PGL should be included in the routine screening of Coroners’ toxicology. GBP and PGL are being widely used along with heroin and other opioids, increasing the possible risk of toxicity due to respiratory depression. BLF-related deaths were rarely seen.

description: The ambitious high data-rate applications in the envisioned future B5G networks require new solutions, including the advent of more advanced architectures than the ones already used in 5G networks, and the coalition of different communications schemes and technologies to enable these applications requirements. Among the candidate schemes for future wireless networks are NOMA schemes that allow serving more than one user in the same resource block by multiplexing users in other domains than frequency or time. In this way, NOMA schemes tend to offer several advantages over OMA schemes such as improved user fairness and spectral efficiency, higher cell-edge throughput, massive connectivity support, and low transmission latency. With these merits, NOMA-enabled transmission schemes are being increasingly looked at as promising multiple access schemes for future wireless networks. When the power domain is used to multiplex the users, it is referred to as PD-NOMA. In this paper, we survey the integration of PD-NOMA with the enabling communications schemes and technologies that are expected to meet the various requirements of B5G networks. In particular, this paper surveys the different rate optimization scenarios studied in the literature when PD-NOMA is combined with one or more of the candidate schemes and technologies for B5G networks including MISO, MIMO, mMIMO, advanced antenna architectures, mmWave and THz, CoMP, cooperative communications, cognitive radio, VLC, UAV and others. The considered system models, the optimization methods utilized to maximize the achievable rates, and the main lessons learnt on the optimization and the performance of these NOMA-enabled schemes and technologies are discussed in detail along with the future research directions for these combined schemes. Moreover, the role of machine learning in optimizing these NOMA-enabled technologies is addressed.

description: We have computed the 15 microns integrated galaxy light produced by ISOCAM galaxies above a sensitivity limit of 50 microJy. It sets a lower limit to the 15 microns extragalactic background light of (2.4+/-0.5) nW/m^2/Hz. The redshift distribution of the ISOCAM galaxies is inferred from the spectroscopically complete sample of galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN). We demonstrate that mid (MIR) and far (FIR) infrared luminosities correlate for local star forming galaxies and that this correlation is consistent with the radio-FIR one up to z ~ 1. From these correlations, about 75 % of the ISOCAM galaxies are found to belong to the class of luminous infrared galaxies (L[IR] >= 10^11 Lsol), with star formation rates of the order of ~ 100 Msol/yr. The cross-correlation with the deepest X-ray surveys from the Chandra and XMM-Newton observatories in the HDFN and Lockman Hole respectively, indicates that at most 20 % of the 15 microns integrated galaxy light is due to active galactic nuclei (AGNs) unless a large population of AGNs was missed by Chandra and XMM-Newton. The contribution of ISOCAM galaxies to the peak of the cosmic infrared background (CIRB) at 140 microns was computed from the MIR-FIR correlations for star forming galaxies and from the spectral energy distribution of the Seyfert 2, NGC 1068, for AGNs. We find that the galaxies unveiled by ISOCAM surveys are responsible for the bulk of the CIRB, i.e (16+/-5) nW/m^2/Hz as compared to the (25+/-7) nW/m^2/Hz measured with the COBE satellite, with less than 10 % due to AGNs. Since the CIRB contains most of the light radiated over the history of star formation in the universe, this means that a large fraction of present-day stars must have formed during a dusty starburst event similar to those revealed by ISOCAM.

description: Confinement of atoms inside impenetrable (hard) and penetrable (soft) cavities has been studied for nearly eight decades. However, a unified virial theorem for such systems has not yet been found. Here we provide a general virial-like equation in terms of mean square and expectation values of potential and kinetic energy operators. It appears to be applicable in both free and confined situations. Apart from that, we have derived an equation using the time-independent Schrödinger equation, which can be treated as a sufficient condition for a given stationary quantum state. A change of boundary condition does not affect these virial equations. In the hard confining condition, the perturbing (confining potential) does not affect the expression; it merely shifts the boundary from infinity to a finite region. In the soft case, on the contrary, the final expression includes contributions from the perturbing term. These are demonstrated numerically for several representative enclosed systems like harmonic oscillators (one-dimensional and three-dimensional) and hydrogen atoms. Its applicability in various other confinements (including angular) has been discussed. In essence, a virial equation has been proposed for free and confined quantum systems, from simple arguments.

description: Conicostomatinae subfam. nov.   Diagnosis. Head partially covered by coxa 1 or completely covered by pereonite 1 and coxa 1. Epistome and upper lip fused. Maxilla 2 inner plate subequal in length to outer plate. Maxilliped coxa and basis enlarged; palp article 4 reduced or absent. Mouthpart bundle subconical. Gnathopod 1 simple; propodus small; dactylus slightly curved. Urosome compressed.
 Included genera. Acontiostoma Stebbing, 1888; Amphorites gen. nov.; Conicostoma Lowry & Stoddart, 1983; Ocosingo J.L. Barnard, 1964; Scolopostoma Lowry & Stoddart, 1983 and Stomacontion Stebbing, 1899.
 Remarks. Lowry & Stoddart (1983) also included in their ‘conicostomatid’ group the genera Acidostoma Lilljeborg, 1865, Phoxostoma K.H. Barnard, 1925, Shackletonia K.H. Barnard, 1931 and Socarnoides Stebbing, 1888 (type species only). Further study has shown that these genera, although they do have conical or subconical mouthpart bundles, do not belong in the conicostomatine group; Acidostoma and Shackletonia have recently been assigned to a new lysianassoid family, Acidostomatidae by Lowry & Stoddart (in press); Phoxostoma and Socarnoides remain for now in the subfamily Lysianassinae. Phoxostoma differs from conicostomatines in having the outer plate of maxilla 2 offset from the inner plate and in not having a compressed urosome. Socarnoides has a left lacinia mobilis, the epistome and upper lip separate and does not have a compressed urosome – all characters that exclude it from the conicostomatines.
 The genus Stomacontion is problematic (Lowry & Stoddart 1983; Rauschert 1997). It has in the past contained too much generic level variability. One set of species formerly considered in the genus contain a synapomorphy in the form of a vase-shaped palp on maxilla 1. In this paper we remove these taxa to the new genus Amphorites and this appears to stabilise the Stomacontion concept. The very poorly known taxon, Stomacontion capense K.H. Barnard, 1916, cannot be placed in a genus and is considered as incertae sedis. It is possible that S. insigne and S. bulbus are synonyms.

Implementing the quantum random walk

description: Recently, several groups have investigated quantum analogues of random walk algorithms, both on a line and on a circle. It has been found that the quantum versions have markedly different features to the classical versions. Namely, the variance on the line, and the mixing time on the circle increase quadratically faster in the quantum versions as compared to the classical versions. Here, we propose a scheme to implement the quantum random walk on a line and on a circle in an ion trap quantum computer. With current ion trap technology, the number of steps that could be experimentally implemented will be relatively small. However, we show how the enhanced features of these walks could be observed experimentally. In the limit of strong decoherence, the quantum random walk tends to the classical random walk. By measuring the degree to which the walk remains `quantum', this algorithm could serve as an important benchmarking protocol for ion trap quantum computers.

Performance and transferability of land use regression models for ultrafine particles in London, UK
Creators: name: Yang, Zhenchun
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Over the past twenty years, a novel air pollutant -Ultrafine Particles (UFP), has attracted attention from scientific researches. UFP are particulate matters with a diameter of less than 100 nm. Currently, there is inadequate evidence to make a conclusion of the independent health impacts of UFP due to a lack of exposure data as UFP are not regulated or routinely monitored. Land Use Regression (LUR) models have been increasingly used to predict intra-city variations of UFP concentrations. This thesis aims to build LUR models for UFP in urban areas in London and to evaluate the performance of different combinations of models and test their transferability within the city and to the city of Norwich in the UK. Three areas were selected at the neighbourhood level in London. A purposely designed short-term monitoring campaign was conducted to collect concentration data of UFP in these areas from 2016 to 2018. A series of models were developed for each individual and combined areas by using 100% of the site or 90% of the sites following a traditional approach (unrestricted approach). The issue of overfitting was addressed by using a limited number of variables (parsimonious approach). All developed models were transferred between the areas within London and to the city of Norwich to test transferability of models. Results from this study suggest that the concentration of UFP in the West area of London was strongly affected by Heathrow Airport. In general, transferring the models from one area to another area or another city resulted in poor model performance, and transferring between areas within London performed better than transferring models to Norwich. Within the city of London, the models with a limited number of variables when transferred to other areas may perform better than the models where the number of variables was unrestricted. Calibration had more effects on external validation R2 when transferring to another city than transferring between areas within London, particularly when the number of variables was unrestricted. To conclude, model transferability must be undertaken with caution. An improved strategy for future research on the development of UFP LUR models in megacities may be to develop models using a dense network of sites in selected neighbourhoods.

description: The evolution in the design of modern parallel platforms leads to revisit the scheduling jobs on distributed heterogeneous resources. The goal of this survey is to present the main existing algorithms, to classify them based on their underlying principles and to propose unified implementations to enable their fair comparison, both in terms of running time and quality of schedules, on a large set of common benchmarks that we made available for the community. Beyond this comparison, our goal is also to understand the main difficulties that heterogeneity conveys and the shared principles that guide the design of efficient algorithms.

description: A new framework for analysing the gravitational fields in a stationary, axisymmetric configuration is introduced. The method is used to construct a complete set of field equations for the vacuum region outside a rotating source. These equations are under-determined. Restricting the Weyl tensor to type D produces a set of equations which can be solved, and a range of new techniques are introduced to simplify the problem. Imposing the further condition that the solution is asymptotically flat yields the Kerr solution uniquely. The implications of this result for the no-hair theorem are discussed. The techniques developed here have many other applications, which are described in the conclusions.
