Engineering and characterisation of optical nucleic acid sensors
Creators: name: Steer, Isobel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis is overarchingly concerned with optically detecting or monitoring two classes of nucleic acids – G-Quadruplex and microRNA. G-quadruplexes are a structural arrangement of nucleic acid which play key biological roles including regulating transcription and translation. Oncogenic Gquadruplexes present attractive binding targets for small-molecule drugs, but these low-weight interactions are challenging and costly to study, and no drugs have yet made it to market. Circulating cell-free microRNA have recently emerged as clinically relevant and minimally invasive cancer biomarkers (the ‘liquid biopsy’). However, they are difficult to detect accurately due to their low concentrations, short lengths, and high sequence homology. Current technologies typically rely on complex and costly procedures that are incompatible with miniaturized point-of-care devices. This thesis presents the design, engineering, and validation of two optical platform technologies for sensitive and specific detection of nucleic acid (microRNA) or monitoring of nucleic acid interactions with binding partners (G-quadruplexes). These novel platforms are based on microneedle patches and whispering gallery mode sensors. Both optical platforms demonstrate specificity and sub-micromolar sensitivity. This was aided by careful selection of low-fouling surfaces based on click-chemistry. Both platforms also incorporate or explore the use of clickengineered hydrogels to enhance performance. Because of their versatility and small size, the platforms may be developed in the future to offer multiplexing capabilities and may be integrated into miniaturized lab-on-a-chip devices. In summary, we engineer an entire whispering gallery mode sensor platform, from hardware to software to surface chemistry (Chapter 2). The results from several applications are presented, including validating small-molecule interactions with G-quadruplexes, and proof-of-concept microRNA detection (Chapter 3). We also develop hydrogel-coated microneedle sensors as a sampling, detecting and quantifying system for melanoma-associated microRNA. We validate this second-generation microneedle array featuring a two-probe system – an advance on the previous single-probe design (Chapter 4).

Validation of a three-dimensional low dose CT method for assessing migration and loosening in orthopaedic implants
Creators: name: Brodén, Cyrus
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Aseptic loosening is the most common complication following arthroplasty. Early migration and the development of radiolucent lines are believed to be correlated to aseptic loosening. As of late, computed tomography (CT) is considered an alternative to radiostereometry (RSA) and standard X-rays for assessing these two occurrences. The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether a commercially available CT micromotion analysis (CTMA) software can be used to follow early migration and radiolucent lines in orthopaedic implants. Cadaveric and clinical studies were performed to estimate the precision, accuracy, and effective dose of CTMA for different orthopaedic implant components using different CT scanners and CT protocols. Precision and effective dose of CTMA were compared to those of radiostereometry. Also, a clinical proof-of-concept study was performed to investigate if CTMA could measure early migration and development of radiolucent lines over time. The accuracy of CTMA with and without the use of beads was 0.07–0.23 mm and 0.22–0.71°. CTMA with and without the use of beads in the bone had a precision of 0.07–0.31 mm and 0.20–0.54°. CTMA precision did not vary extensively despite the variety of implant types, CT image acquisition equipment, and protocols employed. CTMA achieved a slightly better precision in rotation and a comparable precision in translation to RSA at a slightly higher effective dose. The development of radiolucent lines could be seen in CTMA and followed over time for glenoid components. In conclusion, CTMA is a tool that could be used to follow early migration and radiolucent lines in orthopaedic implants.

description: Il contagio in azienda è espressamente qualificato dal legislatore come infortunio sul lavoro (art. 42 d.l. n. 18/2020). Nondimeno, l’imprenditore è responsabile solo se è in colpa. La colpa va tendenzialmente ravvisata nella distanza tra il comportamento concretamente adottato e quello prescritto dalle regole cautelari suggerite nei protocolli regionali, interregionali e nazionali di cui all’art. 29 bis del d.l. n. 23/2020. Tuttavia, il carattere elastico ed aperto delle cautele suggerite dai protocolli non esclude la responsabilità del datore di lavoro anche per violazione di regole non scritte di diligenza, prudenza e perizia. Contagion in the company is expressly qualified by the legislator as an accident at work (art. 42 d.l. n. 18/2020). Nonetheless, the employer is responsible only if he is at fault. The fault must tend to be recognized in the distance between the behavior actually adopted and that prescribed by the precautionary rules suggested in the regional, interregional and national protocols referred by the art. 29 bis of d.l. n. 23/2020. However, the elastic and open nature of the cautions suggested by the protocols does not exclude the employer’s liability also for violation of unwritten rules of diligence, prudence and expertise.

Verification of neural systems
Creators: name: Akintunde, Michael
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Forthcoming autonomous systems are expected to use machine learning techniques to implement their components for perception and control functions. Such machine learning-based components are synthesised from data and can be implemented via neural networks. Although machine learning components have attractive performance, for example on image classification tasks, concerns are raised in terms of the safety of the overall system. It is known that neural networks are fragile and hard to understand. Therefore, if machine learning components are to be used in safety-critical systems, it is essential that they are verified and validated before deployment. Little work addresses the verification of closed-loop systems controlled by agents synthesised from data and implemented via neural networks. Previous work considered simple, predictable, single-agent systems with fully-observable environments resulting in linear traces. The work of the thesis aims to tackle more realistic environments where autonomous agents are typically deployed, which are more dynamic and unpredictable, with agents that cannot fully observe the environment. To overcome this, we firstly put forward a model accounting for complex, partially observable environments resulting in branching traces and produce a method to verify such systems. Secondly we introduce neural-symbolic agents equipped with a neural network-based perception unit and a symbolic controller, and we verify the outcomes of the strategic interplay of groups of such agents. All procedures are implemented in a novel toolkit called VENMAS (Verification of Neural Multi-Agent Systems). The toolkit is used to analyse a toy example % reinforcement-learning scenario called Frozen Lake, single and multi-agent variants of a complex prototype for air-traffic collision avoidance as well as the iterated prisoners dilemma scenario.

Cathode development for all-solid-state lithium sulfur batteries
Creators: name: Lopez Gonzalez, Daniela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: EV production is currently dominated by lithium-ion technology; however, precious metal scarcity and price increases have pushed for alternative chemistries to be researched. Presently, the research of lithium metal-based batteries has increased having higher energy densities than traditional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The use of sulfur as the active cathode material has gained attention due to the high gravimetric capacity of sulfur (1672 mA h gˉ¹) and its abundance in the Earth’s crust. One of the biggest obstacles solid state lithium sulfur batteries faces, is the utilization and accessibility of sulfur during cycling. Due to sulfur’s low electrical (10ˉ³ S cmˉ¹) and ionic conductivity (10ˉ⁹ S cmˉ¹), Li+ and electron transport is limited, and over time hinders the cell’s capacity. Furthermore, a volumetric change during cycling are observed which pose concerns to the mechanical integrity of the cathode. Carbon supports as well as additives have been explored to promote transport, aid during volume changes, and maximize active material utilization during cycling. This study aimed to evaluate how the deposition method of sulfur onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO), as the carbon support, changed the electrochemical performance of the active material. The examined methods of sulfur deposition include an acetone method as solvent infiltration, sulfur-ethylene diamine (S-EDA) complex as reaction deposition, as well as dry ball milling (DBM) method as mechanical intrusion. The influence of heat treatment and sulfur content was also analyzed to gain insights towards the morphological and electrochemical changes of the cathode. The variation of sulfur deposition methods yielded different electrochemical results proving the synthesis method chosen can alter the arrangement and connection of sulfur on rGO. The incorporation of heat treatment above sulfur’s melting temperature after each synthesis method helped increase the dispersion of sulfur on rGO and minimized crystalline agglomerates. The Acetone method showed minimal losses during synthesis and had a high discharge current density of -0.150 mA cmˉ². Increasing the sulfur content deposited on rGO also showed to have a negative effect on the electrochemical performance of rGO with 40% sulfur deposited on rGO showing the highest initial discharge capacity at 1270 mAh gˉ¹.

Rischio di contagio da Covid-19 come infortunio sul lavoro e la circolare INAIL n. 13/2020
Creators: name: Rossilli, Beatrice
Publisher: name: Diritto della sicurezza sul lavoro
Year: 2020

description: Il legislatore ha qualificato l’infezione da Covid-19, contratta in occasione di lavoro, quale infortunio. L’INAIL è intervenuto sul punto con la circolare n. 13/2020 fornendo importanti istruzioni operative di attuazione dell’art. 42 del d.l. n. 18/2020, a cominciare dall’introduzione della presunzione semplice di origine professionale del contagio, operante – fino a prova contraria - esclusivamente a favore dei lavoratori assicurati INAIL nei confronti dei quali insiste un rischio specifico, in ragione delle particolari mansioni cui sono adibiti. In seguito alle preoccupazioni mosse dalle associazioni imprenditoriali, l’INAIL ha poi offerto, in una circolare successiva, la sua interpretazione in merito al tema della responsabilità datoriale. L’istituto ha specificato che i criteri di accertamento presuntivo del nesso di causalità dettati in funzione solidaristico-previdenziale sono, infatti, profondamente diversi dai criteri che invece fondano una responsabilità di natura civile o penale, le quali devono essere rigorosamente accertate con criteri diversi da quelli operanti per il riconoscimento del diritto alle prestazioni assicurative. The legislator qualified the Covid-19 infection, contracted at work, as an accident. INAIL has intervened on this point with the circular no. 13/2020 by providing some important operational instructions for the implementation of the art. 42 d.l. no. 18/2020. First of all, INAIL introduced the simple presumption of professional origin of the infection, operating - until proven differently - only in favour of INAIL insured workers to whom INAIL insists a specific risk. Following the concerns raised by business associations, INAIL then offered, in a further circular, its interpretation on the subject of employers’ liability. The institute has specified that the criteria for the presumptive ascertainment of the causal link dictated in a solidarity-pension function are, in fact, profoundly different from the criteria that, instead, establish a civil or criminal liability, which must be rigorously ascertained with criteria different from those operating for the recognition of the right to insurance benefits.

description: Parte delle regole di emergenza per contenere e monitorare la pandemia COVID-19, ha ripercussioni non solo sull’acquisizione, ma anche sul trattamento dei dati privati dei cittadini. A causa delle misure relative alla sicurezza sul lavoro nella fase 2 della riapertura delle attività produttive in Italia, è anche necessario che i dati vengano forniti dai dipendenti, che devono essere adeguatamente protetti dai datori di lavoro. I dati sulla privacy dei lavoratori sono protetti in termini di acquisizione e utilizzo, sia a livello di comunità europea che secondo la legislazione nazionale italiana. Circa i dati sanitari, sebbene in generale non debbano essere trattati, esistono misure eccezionali che ne autorizzano il trattamento, a fini preventivi o di sicurezza sul luogo di lavoro. Per quanto riguarda la comunicazione o la diffusione di dati sanitari da dipendenti a terzi, ha concluso che la comunicazione è possibile, ma la diffusione no. I dati devono essere trattati da persone preposte, individuate dal titolare del trattamento, cioè, nella figura del “incaricato di trattamento”. Solo i dati essenziali per la sicurezza del luogo di lavoro dovrebbero essere esposti a coloro che hanno assolutamente bisogno delle informazioni per adottare le misure di sicurezza appropriate. Part of the emergency rules to contain and monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, has repercussion not only as regards access, but also for the treatment of citizens’ private data. Because of the measures relating to safety at work in phase 2 of the reopening of production activities in Italy, it is also necessary that the data are provided by employees, who must be adequately protected by employers. Worker’s privacy data are protected in terms of access and use, both at the European community level and according to Italian national legislation. About of health data, although in general they should not be processed, there are exceptional measures that authorize their treatment, for preventive or safety purposes in the workplace. Regarding the disclosure of these data to colleagues, concluded that communication it is possible, but the diffusion is not. The data must be processed by determined persons, individually from the title of the treatment, in the figure of the person in charge and of the employee or person in charge of the treatment. Only data essential for the safety of the workplace should be exposed, to those who absolutely need the information to take the appropriate safety measures.

On the closure of the Hodge locus of positive period dimension

Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 510 Mathematik

description: Given V a polarizable variation of Z-Hodge structures on a smooth connected complex quasi-projective variety S, the Hodge locus for V⊗ is the set of closed points s of S where the fiber Vs has more Hodge tensors than the very general one. A classical result of Cattani, Deligne and Kaplan states that the Hodge locus for V⊗ is a countable union of closed irreducible algebraic subvarieties of S, called the special subvarieties of S for V. Under the assumption that the adjoint group of the generic Mumford–Tate group of V is simple we prove that the union of the special subvarieties for V whose image under the period map is not a point is either a closed algebraic subvariety of S or is Zariski-dense in S. This implies for instance the following typical intersection statement: given a Hodge-generic closed irreducible algebraic subvariety S of themoduli space Ag of principally polarized Abelian varieties of dimension g, the union of the positive dimensional irreducible components of the intersection of S with the strict special subvarieties of Ag is either a closed algebraic subvariety of S or is Zariski-dense in S.

Year: 2020

description: Il contributo è volto a delimitare i confini della responsabilità datoriale a fronte dell’emersione di un rischio del tutto nuovo e sconosciuto anche all’interno della stessa comunità scientifica, come quello da Covid19. Partendo dalla disamina delle teorie che sono emerse e alle relative conseguenze applicative, l’Autore ritiene che nonostante non si possa dubitare della natura quantomeno aggravate del rischio da contagio, questo non implica un’estensione delle responsabilità datoriale finanche alle cd. misure innominate, poichè la legislazione emeregenziale e il Protocollo condiviso dale parti sociali costituiscono la fonte e il limite della responsabilità datoriale essendo ispirate alla logica della precauzione e non al diverso principio di prevenzione che, al contrario, costitusice il perno della normativa in tema di salute e sicurezza. The aim of the essay is to define the boundaries of employer liability in the face of the emergence of a completely new and unknown risk, even within the scientific community itself, such as the one from Covid19. Starting from the examination of the emerging theories and their consequent applications, the author believes that, although there is no doubt about the nature of the increased risk of contagion, this does not imply an extension of employer’s responsibilities even according to the so-called unnamed measures, since the emerging legislation and the Protocol shared by the social partners constitute the source and the limit of the responsibility of the employer, being inspired by the logic of the precaution and not by the different prevention principle which, on the contrary, set up the pivot of the norm in the field of health and safety.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: In the field of optical communications, designing capacity-achieving codes is crucial for high-speed, and high reliability data transmission for multiple users. This thesis presents a practical coding schemes tailored specifically for Optical Intensity Multiple Access Channels (OIMACs). The innovative contribution is the binary decomposition of the OIMAC into a collection of N bit-pipes, resulting in the formation of the Vector Binary Multiple Access Channel (VBMAC). The research outlines five distinct coding schemes for the VBMAC, detailing the encoding and decoding processes, along with the achievable rates for each scheme. Performance evaluations of these schemes are presented while adhering to practical constraints. Compared to capacity and bounds, the devised coding schemes show promising results, which closely approximates capacity at moderate and high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) levels. This work signifies a pivotal step towards improving the efficiency and reliability of multiple access channel transmissions, meeting the increasing demand for robust and high-capacity communication systems.
Il rischio di contagio da COVID-19 nei luoghi di lavoro: obblighi di sicurezza e art. 2087 c.c. (prime osservazioni sull’art. 29-bis della l. n. 40/2020)

description: Il tema affrontato è quello dell’individuazione degli obblighi che gravano sul datore di lavoro per realizzare la dovuta protezione del dipendente dal rischio di contagio da Covid-19 nei luoghi di lavoro. Dopo avere individuato nei Protocolli nazionali, settoriali, regionali la fonte di tali obblighi si evidenzia che questi Protocolli hanno assunto forza di legge a seguito dell’art. 1, comma 14, del d.l. n. 33/2020. Muovendo da questo presupposto, l’indagine viene incentrata sul rapporto tra l’art. 2087 c.c. e le misure di sicurezza previste dai Protocolli, per concludere che tali misure identificano in via esclusiva gli obblighi del datore di lavoro per la prevenzione del contagio da Covid-19. The topic addressed in this article is the identification of the employer’s obligations to provide for the due protection of the employee from the risk of infection from Covid-19 in the workplace. After identifying the source of such obligations in the national, sectoral and regional protocols, it is noted that these protocols have assumed the force of law following art. 1, co. 14, DL n. 33/2020. On this basis, the investigation focuses on the relationship between art. 2087 c.c. and the security measures provided by the Protocols, to conclude that these measures exclusively identify the obligations of the employer for the prevention of infection from Covid-19.

Year: 2023

description: Background—Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome was first described by Call, Fleming, and colleagues. Clinically this entity presents acutely, with severe waxing and waning headaches ("thunderclap"), and occasional fluctuating neurological signs. Case presentation—We present four subsequent cases of patients with severe thunderclap headache and brain tomography with evidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The brain angiogram showed no aneurysm but intracranial vasculopathy consistent with multiple areas of stenosis and dilatation (angiographic beading) in different territories. Conclusion—Neurologists should be aware of Call Fleming syndrome presenting with severe headache and associated convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage. After other diagnoses are excluded, patients can be reassured about favorable prognosis with symptomatic management.

A novel intervention for persistent memory symptoms after concussion : a pilot randomized controlled trial
Creators: name: Rioux, Mathilde
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: BACKGROUND. Although objectively measurable memory impairments typically resolve within weeks after a concussion, many people continue to report memory symptoms for extended periods. The current standard of care, cognitive rehabilitation, addresses objective memory deficits by teaching compensatory strategies, but this traditional approach to treatment is likely ineffective and misdirected. I propose that treatment for persistent memory symptoms after concussion should not focus on improving memory ability but rather on addressing the psychological mechanisms that perpetuate excessively negative perceptions of memory ability. The primary aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of the trial methods, including the novel CBT intervention. A secondary aim was to find evidence of an efficacy signal for the novel CBT intervention. METHODS. I conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility of a new CBT-based treatment designed to improve persistent memory symptoms after concussion. I recruited 24 participants from a characterizing study for Functional Cognitive Disorder after concussion. Participants were randomized (1:1) stratified by memory concern severity into CBT or traditional cognitive rehabilitation. All individuals participated in 11 x 50-minute sessions delivered online by supervised clinical psychology graduate students. Prespecified feasibility criteria for a successful pilot were set for (1) recruitment, (2) patient-perceived credibility of treatment, (3) patient adherence to treatment, (4) therapists’ compliance with the treatment protocol, and (5) retention. For the secondary aim, I measured memory concern (primary efficacy outcome) as well as avoidance of normal memory use and catastrophizing (mechanistic outcomes). RESULTS AND IMPLICATIONS. The study is still ongoing. Of the 24 enrolled participants, 11 completed participation in the study. Data for recruitment and treatment credibility is fully collected, and both fall within the acceptable range. Data collection is ongoing for patient adherence, therapist compliance, and retention, with preliminary results looking promising. Given the lack of a full dataset, I did not estimate the efficacy signal of the CBT intervention. However, descriptive statistics are reported for primary and mechanistic outcomes. This pilot study is an essential step toward improving clinical care for patients with persistent memory symptoms after concussion. The results could support progression to an efficacy-focused clinical trial.

Pattern of informed consent acquisition in patients undergoing emergent endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background—Telephone consent and two physician consents based on medical necessity are alternate strategies for time sensitive medical decisions but are not uniformly accepted for clinical practice or recruitment into clinical trials. We determined the rate of and associated outcomes with alternate consenting strategies in consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients receiving emergent endovascular treatment. Methods—We divided patients into those treated based on in-person consent and those based on alternate strategies. We identified clinical and procedural differences and differences in hospital outcomes: symptomatic ICH and favorable outcome (defined by modified Rankin Scale of 0–2 at discharge) based on consenting methodology. Results—Of a total of 159 patients treated, 119 were treated based on in-person consent (by the patient in 27 and legally authorized representative in 92 procedures). Another 40 patients were treated using alternate strategies (20 telephone consents and 20 two physician consents based on medical necessity). There was no difference in the mean ages and proportion of men among the two groups based on consenting methodology. There was a significantly greater time interval incurred between CT scan and initiation of endovascular procedure in those in whom in-person consent was obtained (117 ± 65 min versus 101 ± 45 min, p = 0.01). There was no significant difference in rates of ICH (9% versus 8%, p = 0.9), or favorable outcome at discharge (28% versus 30%, p = 0.8). Conclusions—Consent through alternate strategies does not adversely affect procedural characteristics or outcome of patients and may be more time efficient than in-person consenting process.

description: lo studio si propone di verificare la validità dell’ipotesi del ruolo della dieta XENOSIALICA nella malattia di Crohn. Questa ipotesi correla specifici comportamenti alimentari, con l'insorgenza/incidenza di malattia di Crohn In pratica, l’assunzione degli alimenti xenosialici, in associazione a specifici sbilanciamenti del microbiota intestinale, sono considerati causa della reazione autoimmune contro le superfici cellulari che, a seguito di assimilazione e incorporazione dell’acido xenosialico (Neu5Gc) sul glicocalice di superficie (xenosializzazione) potrebbero avere un ruolo nella reazione infiammatoria innata cui segue quella acquisita anticorpale autoimmune.

description: The development of a novel numerical model for droplet drying is the topic of this paper. The three main stages of droplet drying are distinguished, viz. unhindered evaporation of a ’wet’ particle (the droplet), restricted drying at a falling rate due to the formation of a crust around a wet core, and inert heating of the dry porous particle. Each stage is mathematically detailed to replicate all phenomena occurring throughout the drying process. The focus, however, is on the falling rate drying regime which is described in terms of Stefan diffusion of water vapour through the pores of a thickening crust. To this end, the model needs the material properties. This permits the droplet characteristics to be determined by composition rather than through single-droplet drying experiments. Finally, the model is validated against five of such experiments from literature using skim milk. Good agreement is found at each comparative case for the particle mass and temperature throughout the various drying regimes providing that for good reasons in three cases a lower drying air temperature is applied than reported for the experiments. The model is capable of predicting the entire drying process at low computational cost and without requiring empirical input.

Temporal complexity alterations of resting state fMRI in preterm versus term born infants
Creators: name: Mella, Allison Eve
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Interrupted brain maturation from preterm birth increases the consequences of altered functional development (< 37 weeks gestational age (GA)). Mono-fractal analysis is an advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis method that calculates the temporal auto-correlation characteristics from the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal. This can be measured using the Hurst exponent (H). Our study goal was to measure H of the resting state-fMRI (rs-fMRI) BOLD signal to investigate alterations in brain signaling complexity at preterm age, term equivalent age and term healthy controls scanned at term age. Participant rs-fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data from 716 neonates born 23 to 43 weeks GA were obtained from the Developing Human Connectome Project. From the rsfMRI scans, independent component analysis was used to identify 13 resting state networks (RSNs). Temporal complexity was determined using H calculated from the power spectral density of the BOLD signal using Welch’s method. DTI scans from the preterm cohort were used to indirectly measure myelination with fractional anisotropy (FA) and radial diffusivity (RD) measurements. H in brain tissues and RSNs were assessed across gestational age and scan age, and Pearson's correlation was conducted between H and DTI measures. H significantly increased from preterm to TEA assessment, and earlier birth age contributed to lower H values. H begins below 0.5 at preterm age and crosses 0.5 at around term age in most regions. Motor and sensory networks were found to have the greatest increase in H. Correlations between DTI measures and H were moderate but significant, demonstrating somewhat parallel development of structural and functional systems. We found that H was an indicator for BOLD signal processing maturation in the infant brain. Accordingly, preterm infant signaling transforms from anticorrelated to correlated but is reduced by preterm birth compared to term born infants.
