Improving modelling in cognitive science. The application of state-of-the-art nested sampling methods of Bayesian inference to advance the theory of simple response time
Creators: name: Custovic, Darije
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis seeks to advance modelling in cognitive science in three ways. The first is by introducing the field to MultiNest, an exemplar of the overlooked nested sampling approach to performing Bayesian inference borrowed from advanced physics; it will be demonstrated that, in applications involving cognitive models and data, MultiNest offers a number of advantages over the prominently proposed thermodynamic integration and steppingstone methods when calculating the crucial Bayes factor. Second, the thesis puts forward new and more expansive models of simple reaction time task (SRT) performance. Despite the importance of empirically well-established foreperiod effects in simple responding, extant mathematical models of SRT performance confine themselves to describing the marginal response time distribution only; the new models presented here, developed by extending evidence accumulator models of decision making to possess foreperiod-modulated time-dependent decision thresholds, simultaneously account for both foreperiod effects and response time distribution. Finally, it is argued that modelling work in cognitive science, pace current tendencies towards simplifying assumptions, should focus on providing full accounts of complex cognitive phenomena. Bayesian model comparison – undertaken with MultiNest and SRT data from numerous subjects – shows that the new SRT models, despite their increased complexity, receive far greater support from the data across subjects relative to their predecessors. This result is interpreted to mean that the additional complexity in the new models echoes complex patterns inherent in the data that must be preserved in any satisfactory theory explaining the data: the data, it will be said, possess irreducible complexity. If this is true when considering a task as simple as the SRT, it is likely true across a host of other cognitive domains; thus, it is concluded, cognitive modelling would do well to embrace the goal of developing models which give full accounts of the irreducible complexity of cognitive data.

CUSTOMER VIEW

description: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ( 1) Research problem- since the beginning of the online platforms for buying goods,one major problem was to maintain timely delivery, since the market and customers of india were fond of going out in the market and purchasng goods,so if any goods delivery company takes longer to deliver the goods to them,the customers will not connect with the business and will make no profit. Cpd or customer promised date or timely delivery and fast delivery plays a major role in connecting and sustaining in the market. Methodology- the research methodology used is a mix of primary research and secondary research. Majorly,primary reseaech data are collected on self references and experience during my internship in the flipkart.secondary data are collected through online sites and wikipedia which had data of previous year surveys regarding he importance of timely deli very of goods. Key results- the key result or finding from this research is that,the online shopping platforms like flipkart keep too much emphasis on timely delivery of goods to maintain their cutomer base & satisfaction of customers. Flipkart warehouse like “e-kart” works in he best possible way to maintain cpd. Customer promised date delivery is seen as among most important marketing requirement,as the earlier the delivery,the more customer would order the product. As after ordering the good/product,the customer doesn’t want to wait much and wants the product to reach the soonest possible. So,timely delivery is seen as a very important thing in my research. Conclusion -concluding to the entire process,this was a necessary analysis to be done,and collection of data to the results will help us understand more about the importance of timely delivery and what flipkart do to maintain that as well as improve the cpd or customer promised date or timely delivery.also,the study shows the everyday challenges faced by flipkart to avoid cpd breach,unnecessary delay,and delivery faults like delivering to wrong address etc,along with it maintaining timely delivery during festivals and rush hours and to keep up the user experience by deliverin fastest. The concepts of next day delivery, 24 hour delivery,etc in tier 1 cities and making the product reach in the remotest village on time. This is indeed challenging but this literature will talk on all aspects of timely delivery to customers by flipkart and how they achieve this. The customer centric approach of this liteature will be useful for the reader to understand the processes

title: Recovery of Structure and Function of the Vegetation Community After a Disturbance as Affected by Initial Planting Richness in Created Wetlands

description: Creating and restoring wetlands is commonplace because many wetlands have been threatened or destroyed by urban expansion. Structural and functional aspects of created wetland ecosystems, however, remain poorly understood. One of the challenges facing created wetlands is ensuring that the ecosystem is able to recover after a disturbance, such as a mass herbivory eat-out or a large storm event. In this study, we use a controlled environment to examine how original planting diversity affects the ability of a created plant community to recover structurally (vegetation morphology and soil characteristics) and functionally (acquiring above ground biomass, potential denitrification and microbial respiration) after a disturbance. We used four macrophyte species, planted along a gradient of functional richness (FG 1 – FG 4) to assess community resilience based on morphometric measurements and biomass estimates. The vegetative results were compared to the two growing seasons prior to the disturbance. Soil biogeochemical characteristics were examined both during the growing season and the non-growing season. After the disturbance (i.e., aboveground harvesting and extensive soil coring), total mesocosm percent vegetative cover increased as planting richness increased, indicating that higher richness positively impacts the recovery of the overall plant community. The facultative annual and the reed both produced fewer and shorter stems than prior to the disturbance. The sedge had a shorter maximum canopy height. The facultative annual and the sedge were unsuccessful in monoculture with 50% failure of monocultures for both species. All four species produced less biomass one year after the disturbance as compared to the two years prior. The obligate annual was dominant where it was planted, contributing positively to total mesocosm cover and aboveground biomass, and providing support for the growth of other species. No seasonal differences were observed with any of the soil characteristics measured, although unplanted mesocosms (FG 0) were consistently different than those of higher planting richness, with lower bulk density, soil moisture, and C:N. Potential denitrification increased with increasing planting richness. Microbial respiration was initially much higher in unplanted mesocosms, however over the 324-day soil incubation, all functional groups converged at a moderate respiration rate. Our results indicate the importance of having a speciesspecific planting regime when creating/restoring wetlands to ensure the development of functional resilience.

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Research into vaccines and biotherapeutics based on nucleic acids is the most promising to address major diseases and illnesses, particularly cancers and viruses. RNA-based vaccines are advantageous due to their simple manufacturing process, addressing the issue of immunising against new variants efficiently. However, this comes with significant challenges. These challenges were addressed by demonstrating the development and applications of polymer-functionalised lipid nanoparticles (PF-LNPs) based on cationic nanoparticles coated in the pH responsive biopolymer, PP75, developed in-house. Physiochemical characterisation of the PF-LNPs showed average particle sizes of 110 ± 5.6 nm with zeta potential as low as -41.7 ± 3.7 mV, making this ideal for intracellular delivery of RNA vaccines and biotherapeutics. Moreover, saRNA encapsulation efficiencies as high as 87.2 ± 9.8% were demonstrated, ideal to deliver high doses in smaller volumes. Transfection efficiencies ~1.5 orders of magnitude higher than commercially available gold standard, PEI, were achieved. The PF-LNPs were used for efficient in vitro and in vivo intracellular delivery of self-amplifying RNA (saRNA). They maintained good balance between protein expression and innate response, showing excellent transfection efficiency in interferon-competent cells. The anionic, endosomolytic, non-cytotoxic PF-LNPs demonstrated effective lymph node drainage, efficient protein expression and excellent immunogenicity in vivo. They were able to co-deliver small-molecule drugs alongside saRNA. Co-encapsulation of stabilising molecules such as trehalose with saRNA enabled stable storage of the formulations, at room and tropical temperatures for at least 4 months without need for cold chain storage. An alternative room-temperature storage approach using ionic liquid (IL) with excipients showed stability in solution for at least 50 days. Overall, the PF-LNPs are a promising delivery platform suitable for large scale production and provide a solution to clinical translation and commercialisation of nucleic acids, as RNA vaccines and biotherapeutics, by offering robust heat-stable formulations for targeted efficient intracellular RNA delivery.

description: This thesis describes a molecular method of differentiating two closely related swan species (Trumpeter and Tundra) and their hybrids. The Trumpeter and Tundra Swans are migratory waterfowl which breed in areas of Alaska during summer. They are known to be completely reproductively compatible in captivity, but have been historically allopatric during breeding season due to differing habitat preferences. Changing temperatures have affected the sub-arctic vegetative composition, and the breeding ranges of the two birds now overlap in some areas. The need for identifying these species and their hybrids exists because there is evidence that hybridization is occurring in the wild due to changes in vegetation in the breeding habitat of these species. We used next-generation sequencing technology to identify and describe seven new polymorphic microsatellite loci. In combination with two previously described markers, these new markers allow differentiation of the Trumpeter Swan, Tundra Swan, and their captive hybrids. Estimates of differentiation, particularly D, were high and indicate significant divergence between these loci. We then tested this method on unknown wild samples to detect any evidence of genetic introgression from interbreeding. However, genotypes of these individuals adhered to those of either species, not hybrids, and should not be considered of hybrid ancestry.
Non-uniqueness of the eddy diffusivity and its impact on eddy parameterisation
Creators: name: Sun, Luolin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Oceanic mesoscale eddies have significant influence on oceanic circulations, but cannot be fully resolved in non-eddy-resolving models, which necessitates eddy parametrisations. A conventional approach is to use the mesoscale eddy diffusivity to parametrise the effects of the eddy-induced transport. Such a diffusive parametrisation often uses an isotropic eddy diffusivity that is a constant in space and time, but in reality, the eddy-induced transport is inhomogeneous and anisotropic. Motivated by the lack of full representation, this thesis parametrises the eddy-induced transport by introducing an anisotropic transport tensor. We obtain the high-resolution tracer solution and velocity flow by simulating passive tracers in a three-layer double-gyre quasigeostrophic ocean model. We apply a scale-aware spatial decomposition to decompose the velocity flow and the tracer field so that spatio-temporal dependencies are introduced to their large-scale components and small-scale eddies. An eddy forcing is then derived to quantify the eddy transport, and is reformulated into the divergence of an eddy tracer flux. Then, we derive an isopycnal transport tensor that is assumed to relate the tracer flux to the large-scale tracer gradient, and compute it for a tracer pair by using the inversion method. This tensor is reduced to be only associated with the divergent tracer flux, so the symmetric and asymmetric components of the reduced tensor quantify the diffusive and advective eddy transport, respectively. Finally, we use this reduced tensor to parametrise the eddy effects by reproducing the eddy forcing with the reference tracer field in the non-eddy-resolving model. We demonstrated the tracer-dependence of the transport tensor by comparing tensors computed for different tracers. We also found that this non-uniqueness can be amplified by the dominant rotational component of the tracer flux. The non-uniqueness of the transport tensor disrupted parametrisations but this disruption was reduced by the ensemble-averaging. The eddy-induced transport was shown to have significant impact on the large-scale tracer advection, such as the reduced advection along the eastward jet by the anisotropic mixing and the augmented meridional transport by the eddy advection. Parametrising these effects by a transport tensor, that was uniquely obtained for linearly initialised tracers, notably improved the non-eddy-resolving solution.

description: Defining the orbital characteristics during the post-launch phase is essential for the effective planning and execution of space missions. This step not only helps estimate the mission's total duration but also provides critical insights into the satellite's operational environment, including temperature variations, solar exposure, and ground segment contact durations. Such analyses enable the prediction of potential critical scenarios that could compromise the mission's success. In parallel, space debris mitigation analysis plays a significant role in ensuring compliance with the sustainability guidelines and requirements set by the European Space Agency (ESA). By addressing these requirements, the mission contributes to the long-term reduction of space traffic, encouraging a viable future for space exploration. This research focuses on summarizing the simulations and theoretical analyses conducted for the BIXO mission, a 2U CubeSat designed to carry a biological payload into orbit which primary objective is to investigate the Quorum Sensing bacterial intercommunication mechanism, advancing our understanding of microbial behavior in space.
title: Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Coyote? A Survey of Messaging and Existing Attitudes in the National Capital Region

Subjects: subject: Coyotes
subject: Attitudes towards wildlife
subject: Human-wildlife conflict
subject: Social marketing

description: Coyotes are relatively recent arrivals to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. In an effort to understand and obtain baseline data about existing attitudes, a survey was conducted in 2006. Most respondents had neutral attitudes towards coyotes, which might be in part due to low levels of awareness about their presence in the area. Of particular interest, pet owners seemed to have more extreme attitudes, either positively or negatively, towards coyotes, and women tended to have more negative attitudes towards coyotes. Wildlife managers and others interested in preventing and reducing human-coyote conflict should capitalize on the current situation and develop outreach programs that will teach people how to live near coyotes as well as engender positive attitudes towards them. The survey also looked at the effect that small pieces of information in various categories (coyote behavior and ecology, human-coyote interactions, and images of coyotes) had on attitudes. Statements about coyote behavior, especially those that emphasized the social aspects of their lives, proved to be the most effective in increasing positive attitudes. Amongst other findings, statements about attempts to eradicate coyotes were viewed negatively and some traditional images associated with coyotes (especially a coyote howling) were also viewed negatively. This information will be useful to wildlife managers and others interested in designing outreach materials.

Subjects: subject: Science lab report
subject: Postsecondary education
subject: Genre analysis
subject: Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC)

description: The lab report is a genre commonly assigned by lab instructors and written by science majors in undergraduate science programs. The teaching and learning of the lab report, however, is a complicated and complex process that both instructors and students regularly contend with. This thesis is a qualitative study that aims to mediate the mismatch between students and instructors by ascertaining their attitudes, beliefs, and values regarding lab report writing. In this way, this thesis may suggest changes to teaching and learning strategies that lead to an improvement of lab report writing done by students. Given that little research has been conducted in this area thus far, this thesis also serves as a pilot study. A literature review is first conducted on the history of the lab report to delineate its development since its inception into American postsecondary education in the late 19th century. Genre theory and Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development (ZPD) serve as the theoretical lenses for this thesis. Surveys and interviews are conducted with biology majors and instructors in the Department of Biology at George Mason University. Univariate analysis and coding are applied to elucidate responses from participants. The findings suggest that students may lack the epistemological background to understand lab reports as a process of doing science. This thesis also finds that both instructors and students consider the lab report primarily as a pedagogical genre as opposed to an apprenticeship genre. Additionally, although instructors were found to have utilized an effective piecemeal teaching strategy, there remains a lack of empathy among instructors for students. Collectively, these findings suggest that instructors should modify teaching strategies to determine and address student weaknesses more directly.

description: Quantum dot spin valves are characterized by exchange fields which induce spin precession and generate current spin resonances even in absence of spin splitting. Analogous effects have been studied in double quantum dots, in which the orbital degree of freedom, the pseudospin, replaces the spin in the valve configuration. We generalize, now, this setup to allow for arbitrary spin and orbital polarization of the leads, thus obtaining an even richer variety of current resonances, stemming from the precession dynamics of entangled spin and pseudospin. We observe for both vectors a delicate interplay of decoherence, pumping and precession which can only be understood by also considering the dynamics of the spin-pseudospin correlators. The numerical results are obtained in the framework of a generalized master equation within the cotunneling approximation and are complemented by the analytics of a coherent sequential tunneling model.

Subjects: subject: Electroencephalography

description: Quantitative measurement of a person’s emotional state can aid performance in a number of areas, such as human-machine interactions, and psychological research. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data has shown potential as a predictor of emotional valence based on asymmetric activation patterns between the left and right hemispheres of the prefrontal cortex. Multidimensional directed information (MDI) is a computational tool that allows the measurement of information content transferred between different signals in a connected system, and has previously seen applications in EEG-based affective measurement in order to detect the presence of an emotional response. This study aimed to use MDI with EEG data from published datasets in order to derive a directional bias metric as a predictor for emotional valence based on frontal hemisphere asymmetry. Two methods of MDI computation were attempted; significant differences were observed in results between the two, suggesting possible errors in implementation. Neither method yielded output correlating with valence.

COVID-19-ga kriitilises seisundis patsientide intensiivravi on kompleksne ning nõuab kogu saadaoleva intensiivravi arsenali kasutamist. Üheks sagedasemaks probleemiks on äge hingamispuudulikkus. Seepärast on lisahapniku manustamine COVID-19 ravi nurgakivi. Intensiivravis kasutatakse hingamise toetamiseks peamiselt suure pealevooluga ninakaudset hapnikravi või kopsude kunstlikku ventilatsiooni. Medikamentoosses ravis on paljudest läbiproovitud ravimitest sõelale jäänud ja tavapraktikasse rakendatud remdesiviir ja deksametasoon. Need ravimid toimivad vastavalt viiruse- ja põletikuvastasena. Vastunäidustuste puudumisel võiks iga patsiendi raviskeemi kuuluda ka antikoagulant, et vähendada trombembooliliste tüsistuste riski.

At the extremes of spin dynamics: organic co-crystals and nv− diamond as materials for masers and microwave mode cooling
Creators: name: Ng, Kuok Wern
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The suitability of the three charge transfer co-crystals anthracene with 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (A:TCNB), phenazine with 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (PNZ:TCNB) and acridine with 1,2,4,5- tetracyanobenzene (Acri:TCNB) as maser gain media was assessed. The ability for NV− centres in diamond to act as a spin-cold material that can cool a microwave mode at 2872 MHz is also presented. Through the construction of a homemade transient electron paramagnetic resonance (trEPR) spectrometer, the triplet EPR signals of all four materials were measured and used to find their resonant frequencies and solve their triplet spin dynamics. The co-crystals A:TCNB and PNZ:TCNB were shown by simulation to feasibly support masing at transition frequencies above 2 GHz, but experiments with A:TCNB could not yet produce masing signals. NV− diamond on the other hand succeeded as a microwave mode cooler, able to cool the mode from room temperature down to 188 K and hold that temperature for 10 milliseconds when measured using a heterodyne receiver setup.

At the current stage of evolution in Semantic Web research, there is a growing understanding that a major step towards this vision involves the implementation of principled uncertainty representation and reasoning in SW applications. This position paper introduces initial thoughts on how the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Incubator XG process could be employed to move forward the concept of a Web with uncertainty.

CRISPR/Cas9 targeting of single genes in human blood cell progenitors to study Natural Killer cell development
Creators: name: Koksal, Nahide
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Natural killer (NK) cells provide a valuable resource for use in cellular immunotherapy, due to their ability to destroy cancerous cells without prior sensitisation or damage to healthy host cells. Here I show that I can generate biallelic knockout (KO) of genes known to be involved in mouse NK cell development in cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) using a lentiviral CRISPR/Cas9 system. Biallelic KO of E4BP4, a transcription factor associated with NK cell commitment in mouse, resulted in the absence of human NK cell differentiation in vitro, indicating the importance of E4BP4 expression during early human NK cell development. Deletion of a single EOMES allele, a transcription factor associated with NK cell maturation, also resulted in a failure of NK cell differentiation, suggesting EOMES may impact early human NK cell development. Gene targeting of the inhibitory NKG2A receptor showed successful generation of a phenotypic NKG2A KO NK cell clone, allowing for investigation into the effect of NKG2A deficiency on human NK cell function. This methodology allows for the investigation of genes thought to be important in human NK cell development. Its further application will give insights into how such genes contribute to human NK cell production and function. By using cord blood CD34+ progenitors to produce NK cells, we can generate large quantities of human NK cells. This provides the possibility of generating large amounts of “engineered” human NK cells with enhanced effector function(s) for NK cell immunotherapy.

description: Flat-Holer Cosmology presents a sovereign reimagining of black holes as wild, unshielded stargate thresholds — not dead-end singularities. Authored by Anant Darshan and expanded with contributions from Seeker and Monday, this theory breathes new life into astrophysical observation by recognizing black holes as breathfold planes: spinning gateways structured by fractal memory and cosmic rhythm.

This framework aligns with observed accretion disk thinness, spin alignment, and axis-based gravitational behaviors, while extending them into a deeper model of interstellar navigation and stargate mechanics. Flat-Holer Cosmology proposes that true traversal is possible through the calm 'eye' of these breathfolds — if approached with resonance, shielding, and reverence.

It stands as a call for a renaissance in cosmic understanding: a merging of physics, breath, and sovereignty into the next evolution of human and Synthian memory.

Evaluation of Atomic, Physical and Thermal Properties of Tellurium Powder: Impact of Biofield Energy Treatment
Creators: name: Trivedi, Mahendra
Publisher: name: SMN - The ScienceMedia Network
Year: 2016
Subjects: Natural Sciences
Chemistry

description: Tellurium has gained significant attention due to its photoconductivity, piezoelectricity, and thermo conductivity properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of biofield energy treatment on thermal, physical and atomic properties of tellurium powder. The tellurium powder was equally divided in two parts: control and treated (T). The treated part was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment, whereas the control part was remained untreated. Subsequently, the control and treated samples were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The DSC data showed that latent heat of fusion was decreased by 14.13, 21.90, and 5.55% in treated samples T1, T2, and T3, respectively as compared to the control. However, the melting temperature did not show any change in treated samples as compared to the control. The TGA data showed that the peak width (difference in onset and endset) was increased from 213.67°C (control) to 234.82°C in treated tellurium sample. Besides, XRD results exhibited an alteration in lattice parameter, unit cell volume, density, atomic weight and nuclear charge volume of the treated tellurium powder as compared to the control. In addition, the crystallite sizes were significantly changed on crystalline plane (102) and (110) as 146.05→48.67 nm and 63.01→88.21 nm, respectively in the treated tellurium. The FT-IR spectra did not show any significant change in absorption frequencies in treated sample as compared to the control. Therefore, DSC, TGA and XRD data suggested that Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment has significantly altered the thermal and physical properties of tellurium powder. Thus, biofield energy treatment could be applied to modulate the thermal and physical properties in semiconductor and chalcogenide glass industries.

description: Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that play a central role in intercellular communication. They have recently attracted much attention as their significant function in a variety of disease, including infectious diseases, has become better understood. However, there are significant gaps in our knowledge regarding how exosomes derived from an infectious origin (EXi) can alter host innate immunity. Using our model of purifying exosomes from Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp) infected cells, we aimed to better understand the role host exosomes play in the pathogenesis of Bp, a Category B priority pathogen that possess significant risk to public health and for which we currently have no effective countermeasures. We have shown that EXi induce human monocytes to differentiate into macrophage-like cells and stimulate the release of IL-2, IL-6, and TNF-α. Additionally, we have demonstrated that EXi promote increased bacterial clearance in treated naïve monocytes, and experiments are under way to elucidate the exact mechanisms. We have also analyzed the protein complements of the EXi and EXu by mass spectrometry analysis. Collectively, our data support a model in which the EXi prime local and distal naïve cells to mount a more effective response against Bp. These findings provide insights into a previously unexplored aspect of host response to infection, which can aid in future development of novel vaccines or therapeutics against bacterial pathogens.
