description: We propose a construction of de Bruijn sequences by the cycle joining method from linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) with arbitrary characteristic polynomial $f(x)$. We study in detail the cycle structure of the set $Ω(f(x))$ that contains all sequences produced by a specific LFSR on distinct inputs and provide a fast way to find a state of each cycle. This leads to an efficient algorithm to find all conjugate pairs between any two cycles, yielding the adjacency graph. The approach is practical to generate a large class of de Bruijn sequences up to order $n \approx 20$. Many previously proposed constructions of de Bruijn sequences are shown to be special cases of our construction.

description: Оптимизация минерального питания является необходимой мерой для поддержания высокого уровня продуктивности и здоровья животных, в том числе мясного скота, корма которых могут быть обеднены микроэлементами, что в свою очередь может отразиться на использовании азота и обменной энергии. Включение в рацион сельскохозяйственных жи-вотных минеральных элементов питания приводит к увеличению интенсивности течения обменных процессов, степени гидролиза питательных веществ в пищеварительном тракте. Первостепенным в этом направлении является изучение применения микроэлементов в уль-традисперсной форме в качестве биологических добавок с целью улучшения биохимических процессов и как результат, получение качественной продукции. С целью оценки влияния скармливании в составе рациона микроэлементов в ультрадисперсной форме были сформи-рованы две группы бычков красной степной породы: I группа (SiO2) и II группа (FeCo). Расчет азотистого баланса показал, что у всех животных он был положительный. При этом азот лучше всего использовали и переваривали бычки опытных групп, менее всего – контрольные животные. Максимум эффекта показала II опытная группа. Бычки в опытных группах ис-пользовали переваримую энергию больше, чем контрольная группа на 2,9 % и 3,1 %. Энергия обмена также в I и II группах превосходила контрольную группу на 12 и 2 МДж. Таким обра-зом, возможность обогащения рациона ультрадисперсными формами является весьма пер-спективной мерой. Это позволяет лучше использовать азотистую и энергетическую часть рациона. Наилучший эффект достигается при с применением ультрадисперсных форм FeCo.
Realising value through patient/public-healthcare professional co-creation for service improvement
Creators: name: Kaur, Meerat
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores how the public and healthcare professionals work together (co-create) to improve services. It investigates how this co-creation happens in practice and what enables these groups to shift towards more collaborative working. Alongside this, it examines whether there is any point in co-creation. Specifically, does it improve healthcare? This research explores healthcare improvement initiatives mainly across the UK, with some examples from the USA, Sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe. Data was collected retrospectively and prospectively from six organisational case studies and from the experiences of seven individuals. This research was framed by participatory and ethnographic approaches resulting in 55 semi-structured interviews, 160 hours of observations, documents, and secondary data sources. Existing research has highlighted a gap between advocated public-healthcare professional (PHCP) co-creation and what happens in practice. For some, co-creation is an intrinsic way of improving healthcare, while for others this is a new way of working. Alongside this, there is an ongoing debate about the need to assess the impact of PHCP working. A marketing theory highlights co-creation as a process where individuals interact with each other and the systems in which they are situated. This study applies this theory and provides the first known exploration of PHCP co-creation as an interactional process in healthcare improvement. This research describes co-creation in practice highlighting how the public and HCPs interact with each other and the wider systems. It explores the factors that facilitate co-creation, and demonstrates what can be achieved when the public and HCP work together. This thesis shows PHCP working can realise value for individuals, organisations and society, and that the complex, dynamic nature of co-creation impacts how the process can be managed. The research demonstrates conditions that can be engineered to improve how people work together. Co-creation can be facilitated by the individuals involved and through the structures and processes that are used or created. This can shift the public and HCPs towards more effective co-creation for service change.

Crosstalk between FOXO3-FOMX1 axis and lipid metabolism in metastatic breast cancer
Creators: name: Fan, Yuen Nam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: The FOXO3 and FOXM1 transcription factors play important roles in regulating a wide range of biological processes. Deregulation of the FOXO3-FOXM1 axis is associated with cancer development. Recent data also linked the C. elegans Forkhead orthologue DAF-16 with FA metabolism. Here, my results show that metformin and 991 can increase FOXO3 protein expression, stability and activity through activation of the AMPK signalling pathway. AMPK activation also plays a key role in inhibiting breast cancer progression and in overcoming chemotherapeutic drug resistance through FOXO3, suggesting the possibility of the AMPK/FOXO3 signalling cascade as a novel therapeutic target, in particular for the multi-drug resistant breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7-EpiR and MCF-7-TaxR). In addition, my data have established a relationship between FOXM1 and FABP5. On one hand, FOXM1 promotes the transcription of FABP5 to influence cell metabolism and cancer development. On the other hand, FABP5 overexpression also induced FOXM1 expression and activity, suggesting a positive feedforward loop. My data also reveals a significant role for FABP5 in breast cancer carcinogenesis, progression as well as its involvement in the development of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. Furthermore, my data also shows that the expression of ACC2 in human breast cancer cell lines is partly regulated by FOXO3 and that FOXO3 is capable of inducing ACC2 expression at both the transcriptional and translational levels. However, due to the compensatory mechanism between ACC1 and ACC2 expression levels, current data cannot provide conclusive results showing whether FOXO3 regulates intracellular lipid contents directly through ACC2 or indirectly through ACC1. Nevertheless, these data reveal that ACC2 is a potential target for cancer therapy, although further investigations are needed. In short, these data open the possibility of targeting FA metabolism, possibly through FABP5 and ACC2 in MBC treatment.
Examining targeted brain stimulation to improve vigilant attention in right-hemispheric stroke
Creators: name: Olgiati, Elena
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Neglect is a disabling neuropsychological syndrome frequently observed following right-hemispheric stroke. Affected individuals present with attentional deficits, ranging from a difficulty in orienting towards the contralesional space to a generalised difficulty with maintaining attention over time. Neglect may be persistent - particularly its non-lateralised component. This thesis focused on investigating the efficacy of a potential treatment involving non-invasive targeted brain stimulation to improve vigilant attention. In a randomised double-blind sham-controlled crossover study, healthy individuals across the lifespan and stroke patients with attentional impairments received real and sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) whilst performing a vigilance task. A high-definition montage was used to constrain current delivery over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, a key region of the vigilance network. Results show that, at the group level, targeted tDCS improved target detection across all groups. By examining performance across temporal epochs, it was noted that tDCS did not impede worsening of performance with increasing time-on-task. The superiority of tDCS was however found throughout the task, outlasting stimulation delivery. A lesion anatomy study indicated that task performance was related to lesion location rather than volume. In addition, variability in patients' response to treatment was observed and linked to lesion profile, revealing that damage to specific brain regions caused lack of tDCS response. Finally, a concurrent tDCS-fMRI study was conducted to examine brain network response to tDCS. Brain stimulation did not affect local connectivity, but rather influenced functional connectivity within large-scale networks in the contralateral hemisphere. This finding emerged across groups using different analysis approaches, confirming its robustness. This systematic behavioural and imaging investigation supports a role of tDCS to improve non-lateralised deficits of neglect, which could be harnessed in future clinical trials. Furthermore, it sheds light on network response to precise cortical targeting, revealing its widespread effect.

description: This study examines the farmers" willingness to pay for improved soil conservation practices on communal lands of Kuyu woreda in Ethiopia. The objective of this study is to investigate the farmers" willingness to pay for improved soil conservation practices on communal lands of Kuyu woreda. Both single and double-bounded dichotomous format of contingent valuation method is used to elicit respondents" WTP for improved soil conservation practice in terms of labor contribution. Data collected from 184 household heads were used for analysis. Both the Probit and Bivariate Probit models were estimated. The result of the study indicated that most of the respondents have perceived the problem of soil erosion and are willing to pay for conservation practices. Household characteristics such as sex of household head, education level of the head are significant determinants of farmers" WTP for soil conservation. Farmer"s wealth indictors such as livestock and income were included and found to have a positive and significant influence on the probability of WTP for soil conservation. Variables such as slope of land, perception about soil erosion problem, and the frequency of extension visit have also a positive and significant effect on the WTP for soil conservation. The study also show that the mean willingness to pay estimated from the Double Bounded Dichotomous Choice and open ended formats was 85.36 and 83.22 Labor days per annum, respectively. The respective total aggregate value of soil conservation in the study varies from 10,649,907 Labor days per annum (191,698,326 ETB) in open ended to 10,909,349 person days per annum (196,368,282 ETB) from double bound CVM. Therefore, policy and program intervention designed to address soil erosion problems in the study area have needed to take in to account these characteristics.

description: One of the two large multi-purpose detectors at the LHC at CERN is the ATLAS detector. The ATLAS detector consists of several sub-detectors, each with diffe- rent tasks. The ATLAS pixel detector was enlarged with a fourth pixel layer, the Insetable B-Layer (IBL) during the first long shutdown. The IBL will increase the tracking performance under high-luminosity conditions. The IBL consists to 75% of n+-in-n slim edge planar pixel sensors. Sensors with a thickness of 200 µm and a requested fluence of 5 x 10 15 n eq cm2 were investigated in terms of leakage current per pixel, power dissipation, and average hit efficiency at bias voltages up to 1000V and a temperature of -15°C. Testbeam and laboratory measurements for the sensor decision for the IBL are presented.

description: The ATLAS Detector is one of the four big particle physics experiments at CERN’s LHC. Its innermost tracking system consisted of the 3-Layer silicon Pixel Detector (~80M readout channels) in the first run (2010-2012). Over the past two years it was refurbished and equipped with new services as well as a new beam monitor. The major upgrade, however, was the Insertable B-Layer (IBL). It adds ~12M readout channels for improved vertexing, tracking robustness and b-tagging performance for the upcoming runs, before the high luminosity upgrade of the LHC will take place. This thesis covers two main aspects of Pixel detector performance studies: The main work was the planning, commissioning and operation of a test bench that meets the requirements of current pixel detector components. Each newly built ATLAS IBL stave was thoroughly tested, following a specifically developed procedure, and initially calibrated in that setup. A variety of production accompanying measurements as well as preliminary results after integration into the ATLAS Pixel Detector, right before the start of the second LHC run, will be presented and discussed. The second focus of this thesis are pixel detector studies with the help of high energetic particle beams. A 3D prototype sensor from the ATLAS IBL production was studied at various rotation angles to investigate its charge collection properties. During these measurements, tracking information was provided by the Timepix telescope. Preliminary results depicting the detectors performance at various particle incidence angles will be evaluated.

description: En el presente trabajo se hace una exposición de los argumentos que el padre del psicoanálisis Sigmund Freud plasma en su libro “El malestar en la cultura”, para manifestar la represión que el hombre ha sufrido de sus pulsiones dentro de la cultura, que conlleva al conflicto individuo-sociedad. Luego, se expondrán los argumentos que el filósofo y crítico de la sociedad, Herbert Marcuse, realiza sobre los argumentos freudianos, en su libro “Eros y civilización”, para expresar a través de una crítica social, como el hombre ha sido reprimido por una sociedad de dominio. Marcuse incorpora dos conceptos: principio de actuación y represión sobrante, que son los conceptos claves para la crítica a la sociedad y para la dicotomía con los argumentos realizados por Freud. Los textos en los que se basa esta exposición son: El malestar en la cultura de Sigmund Freud, Eros y civilización de Herbert Marcuse, y otros textos complementarios de estudiosos y analistas de Freud y Marcuse.

description: Acculturation refers to cultural change that occurs when members of differing groups come into contact with one another. Acculturation has been linked to several outcomes, including intergroup relations and well-being. This quantitative, cross-sectional research examined the impact of perceived discrepancies in acculturation orientations—intergroup, intragroup and intrapersonal—on intergroup relations, intragroup relations and well-being among a Chinese minority sample in Australia. Perceived acculturation discrepancies were shown to have significant associations with all three outcomes. However, this was most pronounced in the intergroup context, with intergroup relations being particularly susceptible to the negative impact of perceived acculturation discrepancies.

Super resolution array imaging of embedded defects within safety-critical components
Creators: name: Elliott, Joshua Benjamin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: There is a constant drive within the nuclear power industry to improve upon the characterization capabilities of ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) inspection techniques in order to improve safety and reduce costs, with particular emphasis placed on the ability to characterize small defects. The usage of ultrasonic phased array technologies have led to significant advancements in NDT performance relative to conventional monolithic transducers and they have also led to the development of several advanced imaging algorithms. A group of these called Super Resolution (SR) algorithms have been shown to demonstrate a capability to resolve scatterers separated by less than the diffraction limit when deployed in representative NDE inspections. In this thesis, the Factorisation Method (FM) and the Time Reversal Multiple Signal Classification (TR-MUSIC) algorithms were investigated in the imaging of embedded defects. The performance of these SR techniques in accurately characterising smooth embedded planar defects of varying size and orientations was investigated via two-dimensional (2D) Finite Element (FE) simulations and the results were experimentally validated. These studies were extended to consider more realistic three-dimensional (3D) smooth embedded planar defects in experimental trials and rough embedded planar defects, the latter being explored using 2D FE Monte Carlo simulations. The SR algorithms were also benchmarked against the conventional array Total Focusing Method, which is recognised to be a high performing and robust imaging technique. The SR algorithms were also applied to the imaging of 2D and 3D volumetric defects in order to determine if direct, image-based sizing could be achieved with these ultrasonic methods. The final and most challenging inspection case considered within this thesis was the inspection of embedded defects within austenitic stainless steel welds. These materials exhibit spatially-varying anisotropic coarse grained microstructures which can lead to significant ultrasonic signal attenuation and beam bending effects that make their NDE inspection difficult.

description: Accurate and efficient valuation of property is of utmost importance in a variety of settings, such as when securing mortgage finance to purchase a property, or where residential property taxes are set as a percentage of a property’s resale value. Internationally, resale based property taxes are most common due to ease of implementation and the difficulty of establishing site values. In an Irish context, property valuations are currently based on comparison to recently sold neighbouring properties, however, this approach is limited by low property turnover. National property taxes based on property value, as opposed to site value, also act as a disincentive to improvement works due to the ensuing increased tax burden. In this article we develop a spatial hedonic regression model to separate the spatial and non-spatial contributions of property features to resale value. We mitigate the issue of low property turnover through geographic correlation, borrowing information across multiple property types and finishes. We investigate the impact of address mislabelling on predictive performance, where vendors erroneously supply a more affluent postcode, and evaluate the contribution of improvement works to increased values. Our flexible geo-spatial model outperforms all competitors across a number of different evaluation metrics, including the accuracy of both price prediction and associated uncertainty intervals. While our models are applied in an Irish context, the ability to accurately value properties in markets with low property turnover and to quantify the value contributions of specific property features has widespread application. The ability to separate spatial and non-spatial contributions to a property’s value also provides an avenue to site-value based property taxes.

Challenges of Healthcare Financing: Economic and Welfare Effects of User Fees in Urban Ethiopia
Creators: name: Guda, Amarech
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: This study examines the determinants of health care provider choice of urban households of Ethiopia. Particularly, it investigates the effects of user fees on the demand for health care by different segments of socio-economic group using multinomial logit model. The data source of the study is the Ethiopian Urban Socio-economic Survey conducted in 2004 by the Department of Economics of Addis Ababa University in collaboration with the Department of Economics, University of Goteborg in Sweden Cost recovery mechanisms were introduced based on the principle that health care demand in developing countries is price inelastic; so that more resources can be generated for the health sector without reducing the demand by the poor. But the results of this study reveal that for a given rise in health care cost, the poor will reduce the demand for health care significantly in greater proportion relative to the better off. In other words an increase in user fee is likely to drive out the largest portion of the poorest households from receiving medical care. The study also shows the poor are required to pay significantly greater proportion of their income to health care than the better off in order to get treatment. This will aggravate the existing inequality in access to basic health care services. Hence, even though the principle of cost recovery had been advocated as alternative means of health care financing in most developing countries, increasing user fee may drive the poorest population out of health care market or deepen their economic situation unless some reliable protective measures are taken

Hardware acceleration of the trace transform for vision applications
Creators: name: Fahmy, Suhaib A.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Computer Vision is a rapidly developing field in which machines process visual data to extract meaningful information. Digitised images in their pixels and bits serve no purpose of their own. It is only by interpreting the data, and extracting higher level information that a scene can be understood. The algorithms that enable this process are often complex, and data-intensive, limiting the processing rate when implemented in software. Hardware-accelerated implementations provide a significant performance boost that can enable real- time processing. The Trace Transform is a newly proposed algorithm that has been proven effective in image categorisation and recognition tasks. It is flexibly defined allowing the mathematical details to be tailored to the target application. However, it is highly computationally intensive, which limits its applications. Modern heterogeneous FPGAs provide an ideal platform for accelerating the Trace transform for real-time performance, while also allowing an element of flexibility, which highly suits the generality of the Trace transform. This thesis details the implementation of an extensible Trace transform architecture for vision applications, before extending this architecture to a full flexible platform suited to the exploration of Trace transform applications. As part of the work presented, a general set of architectures for large-windowed median and weighted median filters are presented as required for a number of Trace transform implementations. Finally an acceleration of Pseudo 2-Dimensional Hidden Markov Model decoding, usable in a person detection system, is presented. Such a system can be used to extract frames of interest from a video sequence, to be subsequently processed by the Trace transform. All these architectures emphasise the need for considered, platform-driven design in achieving maximum performance through hardware acceleration.

description: In this work, within an anomalous modified holographic softwall model, we calculate analytically the masses of the scalar glueball with its radial excitations and higher even glueball spin states, with $P=C=+1$, from a single mass equation. Using this approach we achieved an unified treatment for both scalar and high even spin glueballs masses. Furthermore, we also obtain the Regge trajectory associated with the pomeron compatible with other approaches.

Hieracium marmoreum

description: Hieracium marmoreum Visiani & Pančić (1865: 468) (Fig. 4)
 Lectotype (designated here):— SERBIA. In rupestrib[us] calcareis M [ali?][ons?]. Vukan S [erbia] A [ustralis], Jul [io] 1863, J. Pančić s.n. (PAD barcode H0023200!).
 Additional specimens examined:— SERBIA. In rupestrib[us] calcareis ad Gornjak Serbi[ia] austr[alis], Jul[io] [1]861 J. Pančić s.n. (PAD-23199!); SERBIA. In rupestrib[us] calcareis M [ons] Rtanj C [irculi] Aleksinac [ensis], Jun[io] [1]854 (PAD barcode H 0023198!); SERBIA. E seminib[us] in [illegible] cult[um], s.d., Pančić s.n. (PAD barcode H 0023195!); [SERBIA] s.l., s.d., s.c. s.n. (PAD barcode H 0023196!)
 Note:—The specimen selected as lectotype bears two labels. The original one, by Pančić, bears the name “ H. marmoreum Panc. in litt. ad Schultz”. Indeed, Pančić wrote, in a letter to Visiani (4 January 1863), that he had asked an opinion to Schultz Bipontinus on this species before publication. This label also bears the signature of the famous monographer of Hieracium, Casimir Arvet-Touvet (1841–1911), who confirmed the identification. The second label is by another expert on this genus, Saverio Belli (1852–1919), and it reads “Questo è il vero Hieracium marmoreum Panc. Vis. etc. ben differente da quello così determinato e pubblicato da Janka e che sta pure in questo foglio teca” (i.e. “This is the true H. marmoreum Panc. Vis. etc. quite different from the one thus determinated and published by Janka that is also present in this sheet file”). This specimen is compatible with the protologue, well conserved, and was considered by two experts as representative of the concept of H. marmoreum; therefore we do not hesitate to designate it as a type. The name is generally accepted (e.g. Euro+Med 2015, Niketić 2014).

Characterisation of the geochemical properties of a clay liner at a landfill site
Creators: name: Muñoz Melendez, Gabriela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes the chemical, mineralogical and spatial characterisation of a new cell of engineered Oxford Clay in an existing landfill site. The clay content, organic carbon content, soil pH, cation exchange capacity and exchangeable cations were determined for 35 samples taken from the bottom of the cell. Three elements Cr, Cu and Zn were also determined in fractions bound to carbonates, Fe-Mn oxides, organic matter and exchangeable sites as well as total concentrations in the compacted clay used as liner. These elements were characterised in the soil solution as well. Stability diagrams were used to identify which inorganic species would be in the soil solution. Inorganic species were quantified using the geochemical equilibrium model, Geochem-PC. Geostatistics were used to describe the spatial variability of the soil pH, organic matter and metals bound to soil solid phases. Variograms were calculated using Variowin 2.1; the ordinary kriging and crossvalidation process were carried out using Gslib. It was possible, through the chemical, mineralogical and spatial characterisation, to identify the presence of a layer rich in pyrite underneath the liner system The spatial characteristics of the landfill cell are complex and to a large extent are associated with the mineralogical composition of the site, particularly with the oxidation of pyrite in the surface, that causes the pH to be low. pH spatial variation correlates with the distribution of Cu, Cr and Zn in the soil. This work shows that it is possible to predict the behaviour of trace elements through the characterisation of geochemical parameters; even more, the mineral, chemical and spatial characterisation of geochemical parameters in a clay liner can reveal trends and natural hazards in a landfill site, and could be used to reduce risks and optimise the monitoring designs.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Rings and Algebras (math.RA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We give a geometric classification of $n$-dimensional nilpotent, commutative nilpotent and anticommutative nilpotent algebras. We prove that the corresponding geometric varieties are irreducible, find their dimensions and describe explicit generic families of algebras which define each of these varieties. We show some applications of these results in the study of the length of anticommutative algebras.
