Power and the Construction of Organisational Identity: Creating the United Kingdom’s First Academic Health Sciences Centre
Creators: name: Lennox-Chhugani, Niamh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This study contributes to our understanding of the reproduction and transformation of organisational identity as it takes place in the context of individual and collective agency and relations of power within the organisation. Organisational identity is socially constructed and continuously reproduced and transformed discursively and non-discursively (Sveningsson and Alvesson, 2003; Czarniawska-Joerges, 2004; Corley et al, 2006) and is rarely as unitary as it appears (Humphreys and Brown, 2002; Foreman and Whetten, 2002). This study asks how power relations influence the construction of organisational identity in the context of multiple identity discourses and how this construction in turn reproduces and transforms power relations in an organisation. I use a reflexive methodology to analyse the empirical data collected during a longitudinal study in which 87 organisational members from all levels of the organisation were interviewed, organisational practices were observed and 83 organisational documents were analysed. This reflexive methodology employs qualitative and inductive methods to obtain and analyse rich situated empirical material. The longitudinal design of the study enables detailed examination of the dynamic processes underlying organisational identity construction over time. The study contributes to our understanding of the construction of organisational identity as an effect of power relations and a medium through which power relations are themselves transformed and reproduced. Firstly, the study contributes to our understanding how multiple organisational identities emerge as a single dominant identity discourse. It identifies processes of strategic ambiguity and inter-discursive recontextualisation strategies such as colonisation and translation which provide the creative space for constructing organisational identity. Secondly, it adds to current theorisation of multiple organisational identity dynamics by analysing these in the context of power relations. Using this analytical lens, organisational identity is seen as the medium through which power relations are reproduced and transformed as well as an outcome of the exercise of power. “Who we are” as an organisation determines which professional and other social groups are considered to be enunciate the identity discourses which 'fit' best and these groups in turn exercise power episodically to reproduce this dominant identity discourse. The final contribution adds to our understanding of how other social identities such as professional identities interact with each other in a healthcare context and with a desired future identity to transform and reproduce power relations between different groups within a complex professionally dominated organisation.

To facilitate the computation of the product of several chiral sigma matrices we have developed a symbolic program. Using this program one can reduce the multiplication of the sigma matrices down to linear combinations of irreducilbe elements. We are able to quickly derive several identities that are not restricted to traces. A copy of the program written in the Mathematica language is provided for the community.

Local and distortional buckling behaviour of cold-formed steel Z section beams
Creators: name: Haidarali, Mohammad Reza
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The economic use of cold-formed steel members means that buckling and the possible loss of effectiveness it produces are important features of design. Cross-sectional instabilities in laterally-restrained cold-formed steel beams include local and distortional buckling. The prediction of the true buckling behaviour of cold-formed steel beams accounting for all governing features such as geometrical imperfections, spread of yielding, postbuckling etc. has been possible with the development of advanced numerical modelling. In this thesis, the finite element (FE) method (ABAQUS) has been used to develop numerical analyses to study the buckling behaviour of laterally-restrained cold-formed steel lipped Z-section beams. The FE models were verified against a series of four-point bending tests available from previous research, with special references to material and geometrical nonlinearities. Two sets of analyses have been conducted: FE analyses allowing for both local and distortional buckling and ones allowing for local buckling while distortional buckling is restrained using appropriate boundary conditions. For the former, the controlling buckling mode (local, distortional or combined) at different stages of loading (up to, at and beyond maximum load) has been realized. Comparing the results of two sets of analyses, the effect of distortional buckling on performance for different geometric proportions has been studied. The effect of the lip size, flange width, angle of inclination of the edge stiffener (lip), size and position of the intermediate stiffener and material strength as well as the interaction between them on both the ultimate strength and the buckling of cold-formed Z-section beams has been investigated. Limits for optimum design of the section were proposed. Depending on the geometric properties and material strength of the section, transitions between local, distortional and combined local/distortional buckling were observed. The lip/flange interaction including the interaction between the edge stiffener (lip) and the intermediate stiffener was the key governing feature of behaviour. The effect of the linear moment gradient and sharply varying bending moment on both the ultimate strength and the buckling of cold-formed Z sections was investigated. The latter occurred in two-span continuous beams subject to uniformly distributed loading. The results of moment gradient cases were compared with those of pure bending cases. The suitability of the design treatments available in Eurocode 3 (EC3) for local, combined local/distortional and distortional buckling of cold-formed Z-section beams was assessed. Overall, the EC3 predictions for cross-sectional bending resistances were unconservative. Shortcomings were identified and some suggestions for improvements were made. This included improvements in plate buckling factors for edge-stiffened compression flanges.

description: Metarobotics aims to combine next generation wireless communication, multi-sense immersion, and collective intelligence to provide a pervasive, itinerant, and non-invasive access and interaction with distant robotized applications. Industry and society are expected to benefit from these functionalities. For instance, robot programmers will no longer travel worldwide to plan and test robot motions, even collaboratively. Instead, they will have a personalized access to robots and their environments from anywhere, thus spending more time with family and friends. Students enrolled in robotics courses will be taught under authentic industrial conditions in real-time. This paper describes objectives of Metarobotics in society, industry, and in-between. It identifies and surveys technologies likely to enable their completion and provides an architecture to put forward the interplay of key components of Metarobotics. Potentials for self-determination, self-efficacy, and work-life-flexibility in robotics-related applications in Society 5.0, Industry 4.0, and Industry 5.0 are outlined.

description: The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, {\em et al}, Commun.~Math.~Phys.\ {\bf 161}, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between real associative $*$-algebras and the topological state sum invariants defined on such surfaces. The partition and $n$-point functions on all two-dimensional surfaces (connected sums of the Klein bottle or projective plane and $g$-tori) are defined and computed for arbitrary $*$-algebras in general, and for the the group ring $A=\R[G]$ of discrete groups $G$, in particular.

description: We present an analytical approach to the calculation of the linewidth and lineshift of an atom or molecule in the near field of a structured dielectric surface. For soft surface corrugations with amplitude lambda/50, we find variations of the linewidth in the ten percent region. More strikingly, the shift of the molecular resonance can reach several natural linewidths. We demonstrate that the lateral resolution is of the order of the molecule-surface distance. We give a semiquantitative explanation of the outcome of our calculations that is based on simple intuitive models.

description: We revisit the lattice formulation of the Abelian Chern-Simons model defined on an infinite Euclidean lattice. We point out that any gauge invariant, local and parity odd Abelian quadratic form exhibits, in addition to the zero eigenvalue associated with the gauge invariance and to the physical zero mode at p=0 due to traslational invariance, a set of extra zero eigenvalues inside the Brillouin zone. For the Abelian Chern-Simons theory, which is linear in the derivative, this proliferation of zero modes is reminiscent of the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem for fermions. A gauge invariant, local and parity even term such as the Maxwell action leads to the elimination of the extra zeros by opening a gap with a mechanism similar to that leading to Wilson fermions on the lattice.

A lesson in bacterial variability: The C. difficile cell wall protein CwpV
Creators: name: Reynolds, Catherine B.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Clostridium difficile is the main cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, leading to significant morbidity and mortality, and putting considerable economic pressure on healthcare systems. Current knowledge of the molecular basis of pathogenesis is limited primarily to the activities and regulation of two major toxins. In contrast, little is known of the mechanisms used to colonise the enteric system. C. difficile expresses a proteinaceous array on its cell surface known as the S-layer, consisting primarily of SlpA and a family of homologues, the cell wall protein (CWP) family. CwpV is the largest member of this family. CwpV is expressed in a phase-variable manner controlled by an invertible DNA switch, the cwpV switch. The novel mechanism controlling this phase variation has been charaterised using enzymatic reporter assays. A site-specific recombinase (RecV) catalyzing the inversion of the cwpV switch has been identified. Knocking out this recombinase has enabled isolation of cwpV switch locked ON and locked OFF strains of C. difficile, indicating that cwpV switch orientation is the primary determinant of CwpV expression. CwpV is post-translationally cleaved and expressed on the cell surface as two proteins that form a stable complex, with one subunit responsible for the noncovalent cell wall anchoring of the other large repetitive subunit. Due to the significant heterogeneity of C. difficile strains the characteristics of CwpV across a panel of strains were investigated. The cwpV switch and recV are conserved across diverse strains and all strains tested express CwpV in a phase variable manner. The N-terminus of CwpV is well conserved, however the C-terminal repetitive domain of CwpV varies markedly. Five different types have been identified and shown to be antigenically distinct. All types of CwpV repeats promote aggregation of C. difficile cells, which may be an important function during infection. These findings suggest a complex evolutionary history for CwpV.

description: We investigate the integer Hall conductivity and longitudinal conductivity of silicene under the magnetic field, electric field, and exchange field in this letter. We focus not only on the low-temperature and $δ$-function impurities (i.e., independent of the scattering momentum) case, which only exist the intra-Landau level transition, but also on the case of inter-Landau level transition which also with the non-elastic scattering. The resulting longitudinal conductivity is very different with the intra-Landau level one at low-temperature. The exprssions of the Hall conductivity, longitudinal conductivity, valley contributed Hall conductivity, and the spin or valley Hall conductivity, are deduced in this letter. We also compute the dynamical polarization under the magnetic field which is a important quantity and has many exciting and novel properties, and with the screened scattering due to the charged impurities. The polarization function here is also related to the Landau level index under the magnetic field, and shows step-like feature rather than the logarithmically divergenas which appears for the zero-magnetic field case, and it's also naturally related to the conductivity in silicene. The generalized Laguerre polynomial is used in both the longitudinal conductivity and dynamical polarization function under magnetic field.

description: La bourse constitue l’endroit de confrontation entre les offreurs et demandeurs de titres financiers. C’est à travers la bourse que l’Etat, les entreprises publiques et les entreprises privées trouvent des financements auprès des investisseurs.

Chaque société prenant la décision d’introduire le marché boursier fixe l’objectif d’accélérer sa croissance et financer ses projets.

Cependant, les marchés boursiers connaissent une énorme mutation provoquée par l’innovation technologique, c’est la raison pour laquelle ils font l’objet d’un vif intérêt depuis quelques années. L’innovation boursière est le moteur de la conquête de nouveaux territoires ou de nouveaux marchés qui seront garants de croissance.

Notre recherche se base sur une méthodologie qualitative établie à travers un questionnaire adressé à un groupe de sociétés cotées en bourse de différents secteurs d’activités.

L’ultime objectif de cet article est d’éclaircir le management des sociétés sur le processus idéal d’introduction en bourse et identifier l’incidence de l’innovation et la concurrence sur les marchés boursiers et sur les sociétés cotées en bourse.  Le but ne s’arrête pas juste à savoir si une entreprise dispose de toutes les conditions de transformation en société cotée en bourse, mais aussi de suivre le meilleur processus pour garantir une introduction en bourse réussie.

description: In 1992, Air Combat Command (ACC), which has oversight of 23 bases including NAFB, took efforts to complete inventory and evaluation of cultural resources on NAFB in Las Vegas Valley. NAFB is one of few bases that projects facility expansion, thus planning for protection or mitigation as necessary. Eighty-seven percent of NAFB lands were inventoried and 34 sites were evaluated as eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 60.4 (d). Investigators stated that further research should address important regional questions, however, these research questions and topics were not presented. Investigators also did not probe sites with suspected depth potential. A review of the records in 1996 indicated that application of the methods described in the draft CRMP could either reinforce or alter the considerations of eligibility (NAFB 1998). Completion of the inventory and reevaluation of eligible sites using the methods in the plan, were designated priorities by the NAFB Environmental Management (EM) Flight Chief. ACC provided funding in 1999, and inventory of the unsurveyed acres and reevaluation were conducted in 2000. Inventory documentation was completed in September 2000. Description and reevaluation of eligible sites are contained in this document.

description: N49 (LHA 120-N49) is a bright X-ray supernova remnant (SNR) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We present new $^{12}$CO($J$ = 1-0, 3-2), HI, and 1.4 GHz radio-continuum observations of the SNR N49 using Mopra, ASTE, ALMA, and ATCA. We have newly identified three HI clouds using ATCA with an angular resolution of ~20": one associated with the SNR and the others located in front of the SNR. Both the CO and HI clouds in the velocity range from 280-291 km s$^{-1}$ are spatially correlated with both the soft X-rays (0.2-1.2 keV) and the hard X-rays (2.0-7.0 keV) of N49 on a ~10 pc scale. CO 3-2/1-0 intensity ratios indicate higher values of the CO cloud toward the SNR shell with an angular resolution of ~45", and thus a strong interaction was suggested. Using the ALMA, we have spatially resolved CO clumps embedded within or along the southeastern rim of N49 with an angular resolution of ~3''. Three of the CO clumps are rim-brightened on a 0.7-2 pc scale in both hard X-rays and the radio continuum$:$ this provides further evidence for dynamical interactions between the CO clumps and the SNR shock wave. The enhancement of the radio synchrotron radiation can be understood in terms of magnetic-field amplification around the CO clumps via a shock-cloud interaction. We also present a possible scenario in which the recombining plasma that dominates the hard X-rays from N49 was formed via thermal conduction between the SNR shock waves and the cold$/$dense molecular clumps.

description: The elementary and solitonic supersymmetric $p$-brane solutions to supergravity theories form families related by dimensional reduction, each headed by a maximal (`stainless') member that cannot be isotropically dimensionally oxidized into higher dimensions. We find several new families, headed by stainless solutions in various dimensions $D\le 9$. In some cases, these occur with dimensions $(D,p)$ that coincide with those of descendants of known families, but since the new solutions are stainless, they are necessarily distinct. The new stainless supersymmetric solutions include a 6-brane and a 5-brane in $D=9$, a string in $D=5$, and particles in all dimensions $5\le D\le 9$.

It is also shown when complemented kernel for an operator is equivalent to complemented range for its normed-space adjoint. This is applied to compact operators and to compact perturbations. In particular, compact perturbations of semi-Fredholm operators have complemented range and kernel for both the perturbed operator and its normed-space adjoint

description: Human perception of the world is shaped by a multitude of viewpoints and modalities. While many existing datasets focus on scene understanding from a certain perspective (e.g. egocentric or third-person views), our dataset offers a panoptic perspective (i.e. multiple viewpoints with multiple data modalities). Specifically, we encapsulate third-person panoramic and front views, as well as egocentric monocular/binocular views with rich modalities including video, multi-channel audio, directional binaural delay, location data and textual scene descriptions within each scene captured, presenting comprehensive observation of the world. Figure 1 offers a glimpse of all 28 scene categories of our 360+x dataset. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first database that covers multiple viewpoints with multiple data modalities to mimic how daily information is accessed in the real world. Through our benchmark analysis, we presented 5 different scene understanding tasks on the proposed 360+x dataset to evaluate the impact and benefit of each data modality and perspective in panoptic scene understanding. We hope this unique dataset could broaden the scope of comprehensive scene understanding and encourage the community to approach these problems from more diverse perspectives.

The sources and environmental fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in lowland river catchments
Creators: name: Treadgold, James William
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and their potential to induce adverse biological effects in aquatic environments has been the subject of increased scientific and public interest. Over the last thirty years, a range of PPCPs including antibiotics, antidepressants, antimicrobials, cardiovascular drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and phthalates have been found in water bodies all over the world. Unlike many other potential pollutants, there are currently no consent standards on concentrations for most pharmaceuticals that can be discharged to the environment. This environmental concern therefore creates the need to understand the source inputs and the environmental fate mechanisms responsible for removing these PPCPs from the aquatic environment. As a result, this thesis aimed to further knowledge of the sources and environmental fate of PPCPs using the principles of the Water Framework Directive to deliver holistic understanding to water policy issues. This new approach to source assessment is useful for developing more realistic site specific environmental risk assessments that can identify catchments and causes of environmental concern. Further research regarding source assessment addresses nursing homes as a relatively understudied source and compares the consumption of drugs to residential households to find that nursing homes have the potential to input more pharmaceuticals to the aquatic environment. In light of the new sources, the next step was to study the aquatic fate of PPCPs. Experimental fate studies show degradation rates and removal mechanisms are influenced by the environmental conditions of the catchment. The findings of the research aimed to facilitate catchment management of PPCPs and inform future water policy.

Reconnaissance / Survey

description: DOE plans to drill hole U20bb in Area 20 for the purpose of testing at nuclear device. Upon request by DOE, DRI surveyed previously un-surveyed areas within a 1500 foot radius of this hole for cultural resources. Four previously unrecorded archaeological sites were found during this survey, and one previously recorded site was relocated and expanded in size. All but two of these sites were collected during the reconnaissance. The remaining two sites are far enough away from proposed activity that there should be no difficulty involved with avoiding these two potentially significant archaeological sites.

description: We describe an adversarial learning approach to constrain convolutional neural network training for image registration, replacing heuristic smoothness measures of displacement fields often used in these tasks. Using minimally-invasive prostate cancer intervention as an example application, we demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing biomechanical simulations to regularize a weakly-supervised anatomical-label-driven registration network for aligning pre-procedural magnetic resonance (MR) and 3D intra-procedural transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images. A discriminator network is optimized to distinguish the registration-predicted displacement fields from the motion data simulated by finite element analysis. During training, the registration network simultaneously aims to maximize similarity between anatomical labels that drives image alignment and to minimize an adversarial generator loss that measures divergence between the predicted- and simulated deformation. The end-to-end trained network enables efficient and fully-automated registration that only requires an MR and TRUS image pair as input, without anatomical labels or simulated data during inference. 108 pairs of labelled MR and TRUS images from 76 prostate cancer patients and 71,500 nonlinear finite-element simulations from 143 different patients were used for this study. We show that, with only gland segmentation as training labels, the proposed method can help predict physically plausible deformation without any other smoothness penalty. Based on cross-validation experiments using 834 pairs of independent validation landmarks, the proposed adversarial-regularized registration achieved a target registration error of 6.3 mm that is significantly lower than those from several other regularization methods.

Biomechanics of Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Creators: name: Cuomo, Pierluigi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The scope of this thesis was to verify whether anatomic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with close replication of its two main bundles ensures better knee kinematics and improved clinical outcomes. The thesis articulates into three parts. In the first part the current anatomic knowledge is reviewed with regard to the double bundle ACL structure and an anatomic study is presented: its results will serve as a basis for the following kinematics and clinical studies. In the second part, a method to investigate cadaveric knee laxities is presented and employed to test intact and ACL deficient knees and to explore the function of the anteromedial and posterolateral ACL bundles. The ACL was found to be a primary restrain to anterior tibial translation mainly because of the action of the anteromedial bundle, with the posterolateral acting as a secondary restrain. Both bundles then were found to equally contribute to control the limit of internal rotation. Finally the reconstruction of both ACL bundles was demonstrated to be superior to traditional single bundle reconstruction in restoring intact knee anterior and rotational laxity. The third part focused on double bundle surgical technique with the development of surgical instruments that were validated on cadaver knees and found to be extremely accurate on the tibial side, less on the femur. Surgical technique was then improved and introduced into clinical practice. Two clinical studies were conducted and demonstrated the superiority of double bundle anatomic reconstruction in improving subjective and objective results as well as instrumented knee laxity measurements. In conclusion the main finding of this thesis was that, after a deep understanding of ACL anatomy and biomechanics, the replication at surgery of its native structure improves knee stability and patients’ satisfaction.
Search for low-dimensional chaos in a reversed field pinch plasma

description: An analysis of experimental data from the RFX (Reversed Field eXperiment) reversed field pinch machine [L. Fellin, P. Kusstatscher and G. Rostagni, Fusion Eng. Des. {\bf 25}, 315 (1995)] is carried out to investigate the possible existence of deterministic chaos in the edge plasma region. The mathematical tools used include Lyapunov exponents, Kaplan-Yorke dimension, minimum embedding dimension estimates and nonlinear forecasting. The whole analysis agrees in ruling out the possibility of low-dimensional chaos: The dimension of the underlying dynamical system is estimated to be $ > 10$. From a critical re-reading of the literature it emerges that the findings of this work are likely to be common to all reversed field pinches.

description: MUSCAT is a large format mm-wave camera scheduled for installation on the Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano (LMT) in 2018. The MUSCAT focal plane is based on an array of horn coupled lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors optimised for coupling to the 1.1mm atmospheric window. The detectors are fed with fully baffled reflective optics to minimize stray-light contamination. This combination will enable background-limited performance at 1.1 mm across the full 4 arcminute field-of-view of the LMT. The easily accessible focal plane will be cooled to 100 mK with a new closed cycle miniature dilution refrigerator that permits fully continuous operation. The MUSCAT instrument will demonstrate the science capabilities of the LMT through two relatively short science programmes to provide high resolution follow-up surveys of Galactic and extra-galactic sources previously observed with the Herschel space observatory, after the initial observing campaigns. In this paper, we will provide an overview of the overall instrument design as well as an update on progress and scheduled installation on the LMT.

Factors influencing developmental plasticity: how interactive auditory experience shapes sensory processing and language development
Creators: name: Wolfert, Katherine E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: The infant brain demonstrates remarkable plasticity during the first year of life, changing its structure and function in response to environmental inputs. Developing neural circuits become tuned to efficiently respond to frequently-encountered stimuli, establishing a foundation for complex cognitive functions such as language. But not all early experiences induce lasting changes, we continue to learn about the specific conditions required to induce plasticity. In this thesis, we explored how early auditory experiences within an interactive context affect the infant brain across multiple domains, including auditory processing, visual processing, and language development. We first examined the factors contributing to individual differences in infant behavior as they participated in an interactive auditory experience, finding that electrophysiological markers indicative of more mature acoustic change detection at baseline predicted better performance during learning sessions. Behavior was also influenced by non-auditory factors, including gross motor skills, maternal age, and the quality of parent-child interactions. We then investigated the role of timing in early plasticity, comparing the effects of interactive auditory experience in younger and older infants. Although markers of auditory processing tended to improve as infants matured, auditory experience had less impact at older ages, perhaps reflecting the influence of domain-general factors on task performance. Finally, we examined parallels between processing in the auditory and visual systems, observing that auditory learning did not transfer to the visual modality but there were associations between auditory and visual development and concurrent language skills. These findings advance our understanding of how infants process brief, rapidly-changing stimuli across sensory domains, a skill thought to be important for language development, and how early experiences enhance this ability. There are also implications for identification and early intervention for language-based developmental disorders, furthering efforts to identify biomarkers of infant development and develop methods to support the development of all infants.

Canonical double covers of generalized Petersen graphs, and double generalized Petersen graphs

description: The canonical double cover $\D(Γ)$ of a graph $Γ$ is the direct product of $Γ$ and $K_2$. If $\Aut(\D(Γ))\cong\Aut(Γ)\times\ZZ_2$ then $Γ$ is called stable; otherwise $Γ$ is called unstable. An unstable graph is said to be nontrivially unstable if it is connected, non-bipartite and no two vertices have the same neighborhood. In 2008 Wilson conjectured that, if the generalized Petersen graph $\GP(n,k)$ is nontrivially unstable, then both $n$ and $k$ are even, and either $n/2$ is odd and $k^2\equiv\pm 1 \pmod{n/2}$, or $n=4k$. In this note we prove that this conjecture is true. At the same time we determine all possible isomorphisms among the generalized Petersen graphs, the canonical double covers of the generalized Petersen graphs, and the double generalized Petersen graphs. Based on these we completely determine the full automorphism group of the canonical double cover of $\GP(n,k)$ for any pair of integers $n, k$ with $1 \leqslant k < n/2$.
