description: Over the past few years, significant changes in mangroves have occurred across large areas of Australia, with these including extensive mangrove dieback (along much of the northern coastline) and cyclone damage (e.g., on the east coast). Such changes need to be detected as and when they occur and the recovery from such events monitored over extended periods. This paper therefore focuses on the formulation, development and implementation of a monitoring system, with key elements being routine detection of mangrove change (e.g., extent, health, species) using dense time-series of optical satellite data available within the Australian Geoscience Data Cube (AGDC) and C- and L-band SAR observations (in conjunction with global forest and mangrove monitoring systems), the collation of all publicly available field, drone and aircraft observations through TERN/AusCover and the collection of new datasets under common protocols, and the planning and facilitation of airborne and satellite missions to generate key high resolution baseline datasets against which to quantify change. For effective delivery and operation, whole of community involvement is essential through avenues such as the AMSN and the Australian Earth Observation Community Coordination Group (AEOCCG). All datasets and products also need to be made publically available to inform policy and enable coordinated scientific research.

description: Residual entropy of ice systems has long been a significant and intriguing issue in condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics. The exact solutions for the residual entropy of realistic three-dimensional ice systems remain unknown. In this study, we focus on two typical realistic ice systems, namely the hexagonal ice (ice Ih) and cubic ice (ice Ic). We present a transfer matrix description of the number of ice-ruled configurations for these two systems. First, a transfer matrix $M$ is constructed for ice Ic, where each element is the number of ice-ruled configurations of a hexagonal monolayer under certain condition. The product of $M$ and its transpose corresponds to a bilayer unit in ice Ih lattice, therefore is exactly a transfer matrix for ice Ih. Making use of this, we simply show that the residual entropy of ice Ih is not less than that of ice Ic in the thermodynamic limit, which was first proved by Onsager in 1960s. Furthermore, we find an alternative transfer matrix $M'$ for ice Ih, which is based on a monolayer periodic unit. Some interesting properties of $M$, $MM^T$ and $M'$ are illustrated, specifically the summation of all elements, the element in the first row and first column, and the trace. Each property is equivalent with the residual entropy of a two-dimensional ice model. Our work rediscovers the relationship between the residual entropies of ice Ih and ice Ic, and provides an effective description for various two-dimensional ice models.

Indiscriminate data poisoning against supervised learning: general attack formulations, robust defences, and poisonability
Creators: name: Carnerero Cano, Javier
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Machine learning (ML) systems often rely on data collected from untrusted sources, such as humans or sensors, that can be compromised. These scenarios expose ML algorithms to data poisoning attacks, where adversaries manipulate a fraction of the training data to degrade the ML system performance. However, previous works lack a systematic evaluation of attacks considering the ML pipeline, and focus on classification settings. This is concerning since regression models are also applied in safety-critical systems. We characterise indiscriminate data poisoning attacks and defences in worst-case scenarios against supervised learning algorithms, considering the ML pipeline: data sanitisation, hyperparameter learning, and training. We propose a novel attack formulation that considers the effect of the attack on the model's hyperparameters. We apply this attack formulation to several ML classifiers using L2 and L1 regularisation. Our evaluation shows the benefits of using regularisation to help mitigate poisoning attacks, when hyperparameters are learnt using a trusted dataset. We then introduce a threat model for poisoning attacks against regression models, and propose a novel stealthy attack formulation via multiobjective bilevel optimisation, where the two objectives are attack effectiveness and detectability. We experimentally show that state-of-the-art defences do not mitigate these stealthy attacks. Furthermore, we theoretically justify the detectability objective and methodology designed. We also propose a novel defence, built upon Bayesian linear regression, that rejects points based on the model's predictive variance. We empirically show its effectiveness to mitigate stealthy attacks and attacks with a large fraction of poisoning points. Finally, we introduce the concept of "poisonability", which allows us to find the number of poisoning points required so that the mean error of the clean points matches the mean error of the poisoning points on the poisoned model. This challenges the underlying assumption of most defences. Specifically, we determine the poisonability of linear regression.

Optical characterisation of diamonds and simulations for maser and quantum devices
Creators: name: Wen, Yongqiang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Quantum technology has revolutionised academia and industry by potentially solving many problems that are not feasible and accessible for conventional technology. Quantum materials like colour centres in diamonds are a promising quantum technology platform in research and industry. Herein, the development of the room-temperature diamond maser as a quantum device for oscillators and low noise amplifiers is presented. This thesis investigates both experimental and analytical research in characterising diamonds, mainly Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centres, for masing and maser devices, as well as theoretical and simulation work in designing masers and threshold conditions. Besides the research specifically into the maser, optical characterisation of these quantum materials is conducted. This thesis primarily focuses on the maser, but the defect centres characterised have wider use in quantum technology. To push forward the analytical methods for diamond optical characterisation, this thesis employs multiple algorithms in fluorescence lifetime imaging that improve the performance of conventional methods. Furthermore, a hybrid quantum algorithm is employed to aid the analysis of optical data, which utilises unconventional quantum properties of quantum circuits and simulators to analyse quantum materials for developing quantum devices.

Image-based finite element modelling of fetal critical aortic stenosis with evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome and fetal aortic valvuloplasty intervention
Creators: name: Green, Laura Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Fetal critical aortic stenosis with evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome (CAS-eHLHS) is a mid-gestation cardiac malformation. CAS-eHLHS has a high likelihood of progressing to hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), where the neonate will require complex surgeries or a heart transplant. Fetal aortic valvuloplasty (FAV) is an in-utero catheter-based intervention, performed on mid-gestation CAS-eHLHS fetal hearts, which aims to widen the stenotic aortic valve, to prevent a HLHS outcome. However, some patients still progress to a HLHS outcome post-FAV, suggesting that it is clinically difficult to predict FAV outcomes. There is also limited understanding of the biomechanical implications of CAS-eHLHS and FAV. Therefore, it was proposed to use finite element (FE) modelling to address such issues. FE methods were developed to support later work. This included calibrating the fetal lumped parameter model, investigating the effect of helix angle configuration on fetal LV function (helix angle configuration describes the orientation of the LV myofibers relative to the short-axis plane), to support future assignment of the parameter, and developing an optimisation algorithm, for patient specific computational modelling. FE analysis showed CAS-eHLHS patients to have compromised functionality. Interestingly, peak systolic myofiber stress, output from the computational methods, showed a unique ability in predicting post-FAV outcomes. A simplified equation was derived for real-time estimation of peak systolic myofiber stress, which upheld its predictive capabilities when tested. Virtual FAV demonstrated how FAV can partially restore several physiological features towards healthy levels, however, the inclusion of aortic valve regurgitation, in the analysis, compromised LV and left atrium depressurisation but promoted increased stroke volume. Furthermore, patient specific post-FAV modelling enabled analysis of acute FAV outcomes. Overall, the research improved understanding of the biomechanical implications of CAS-eHLHS and FAV and gave a sense of which cases are more suitable for FAV, which, with future work, could support patient selection.

description: Talk is a fundamental human experience, and speech signals are the first structured source of information we encounter in our environment. Yet the fact that talking is such a common and seemingly effortless activity easily obscures the challenges involved in explaining how it works. At a closer look, however, speech may be one of the most complex behaviors humans exhibit. It involves fine-grained kinetic adaptations that unfold in real-time and result in predictable, intelligible signals. Speech evolves through sensitivity to sensory prediction errors from multiple sources. It involves both co-ordinating one's own behavior (the way speech signals are articulated in context) and modeling of mutual expectations in time. All of these mechanisms rest on learning and develop across the lifespan. Given that speakers learn from exposure to speech samples that vary with experience, how do they ever manage to maintain sufficiently similar models of expectations? In this dissertation, I investigate the sources of information (signals) that allow speakers to co-ordinate their expectations and successfully communicate. I show that regular patterns of co-occurrence between speech forms at various levels of abstraction serve as context to structure and manage the uncertainties of communication while gradually increasing the rate at which fine-grained differences in articulated signals are perceived. I propose that this leads to a predictable ebb and flow of uncertainty that allows us to maintain mutually predictable time templates and, therefore, a distributed transmission process that is, to some degree, experience-independent. This work aims to explain how structure and form emerge from human vocal signals and to answer a fundamental question about the nature of the stable temporal organization of signals produced in human communication. It applies statistical and computational tools to transcripts and recordings of speech, exploring how speaker experience shapes speech structure at various levels of description. The dissertation links topics in learning theory, measurement and information theory, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, and neuroscience. It provides insight into the dynamics of alignment and the role of coordination in efficient information transmission.

description: In galaxy formation simulations, it is increasingly common to represent supernovae (SNe) at finite resolution (when the Sedov-Taylor phase is unresolved) via hybrid energy-momentum coupling with some 'terminal momentum' $p_{\rm term}$ (depending weakly on ambient density and metallicity) that represents unresolved work from an energy-conserving phase. Numerical implementations can ensure momentum and energy conservation of such methods, but these require that couplings depend on the surrounding gas velocity field (radial velocity $\langle v_{r} \rangle$). This raises the question of whether $p_{\rm term}$ should also be velocity-dependent, which we explore analytically and in simulations. We show that for simple spherical models, the dependence of $p_{\rm term}$ on $\langle v_{r} \rangle$ introduces negligible corrections beyond those already imposed by energy conservation if $\langle v_{r} \rangle \ge 0$. However, for SNe in some net converging flow ($\langle v_{r} \rangle<0$), naively coupling the total momentum when a blastwave reaches the standard cooling/snowplow phase (or some effective cooling time/velocity/temperature criterion) leads to enormous $p_{\rm term}$ and potentially pathological behaviors. We propose an alternative $Δ$-Momentum formulation which represents the differential SNe effect and show this leads to opposite behavior of $p_{\rm term}$ in this limit. We also consider a more conservative velocity-independent formulation. Testing in numerical simulations, these directly translate to large effects on predicted star formation histories and stellar masses of massive galaxies, explaining differences between some models and motivating further study in idealized simulations.

The impact of heterogeneity on capillary trapping during geological carbon storage
Creators: name: Harris, Catrin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Capillary heterogeneity trapping has the potential to significantly improve the security of CO2 storage in underground aquifers. Small-scale heterogeneities could enhance the level of trapping in natural rocks and provide greater storage capacity. Capillary heterogeneities act to trap CO2 at saturations greater than expected from pore-scale residual trapping processes alone as a result of capillary pressure barriers. The aim of this work is to understand the effect of natural rock heterogeneities on capillary trapping over different length scales, during CO2 sequestration. A multiscale approach is applied, combining experimental characterisation and numerical modelling, to create a physics-based representation of capillary heterogeneity trapping. The capillary heterogeneity trapped saturation during CO2 storage post-imbibition is quantified through a 1D analytical model. The analytical model predicts rate-dependency of capillary heterogeneity trapping, validated through experiments. Steady-state core flooding experiments with medical X-ray CT scanning provide a detailed characterisation of continuum multiphase flow properties, including residual trapping characteristics, over cm-scales. These experiments highlight the importance in correctly identifying the mechanism by which saturation is trapped at the core-scale and extracting appropriate trapping relationships when upscaling to the field. This motivated a study which focused on incorporating uncertainty in core and field-scale data into models of the Captain Sandstone, a UK target storage site. To investigate the flow dynamics in heterogeneous sandstone cores, state of the art synchrotron-based X-ray micro-CT experiments at the Australian synchrotron (ANSTO) and European synchrotron (ESRF) have been carried out. These experiments investigated how larger scale capillary heterogeneity trapping processes are impacted by pore-scale filling events, across samples with different heterogeneity types. The resulting saturation distributions demonstrate the impact of cm-scale heterogeneity on pore-scale processes, which in turn influence large scale behaviour. These novel insights develop our understanding of the impact of heterogeneity on fluid migration and capillary trapping from the pore-to-core-to-field scale.

Identifying safety-critical attacks targeting cyber-physical systems: a systems theoretic approach
Creators: name: Castiglione, Luca Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Over the last decades, society has witnessed a sharp increase in the use of complex and interconnected computer systems to monitor and assist in several aspects of everyday life. As operators of safety-critical systems deploy network-enabled devices aiming to enhance connectivity and streamline remote operations, the attack surface of these systems has increased. Whilst more attacks are becoming possible, only some of them will impact safety. Identifying such critical attacks is our priority; unfortunately, the complexity of modern cyber-physical systems (CPSs) renders this task challenging. Sophisticated attacks often rely on the effect of apparently legitimate commands, which can trigger cascading effects within the CPS itself, rendering it vulnerable to further attacks and causing harm. To help prevent these scenarios, tools and methodologies need to be developed that support integrated safety and security analysis in the context of CPS also considering their behaviours and internal dynamics. We present Cassandra, a novel methodology to identify safety-critical threat scenarios and reason about their risk and applicable security measures in specific deployment contexts. Unlike other methodologies, Cassandra leverages existing relations between high-level threats and the system architecture to identify safety-critical attack paths. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the paths found allows us to estimate the risk associated with safety-critical attacks, identify applicable security controls, and evaluate their effectiveness. Cassandra offers an integrated set of tools that enable the automated derivation of safety-critical sequences of threats and their respective attack paths. This provides an important step towards making integrated safety and security analyses less subjective, more reproducible and thus more suitable for applications in safety-critical contexts. We have applied Cassandra to analyse the safe operation of safety-critical systems in three distinct use cases, including railway traffic control, power grid, and avionics. The scenarios analysed progressively increase in complexity and mirroring of real-world conditions.

Development of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) cement-based materials for Magnox waste encapsulation
Creators: name: Baxter Chinery, Mercedes
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: The first UK civil nuclear reactors used natural uranium fuel surrounded by a magnesium non-oxidising alloy cladding (Magnox). The Magnox waste was stored under water, alongside uranium, aluminium, and other metals, and has evolved into a magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) rich sludge, requiring encapsulation for long-term storage in a geological disposal facility. The current system (composite cement) is unsuitable for the Magnox sludge, as at the cement pH (13), aluminium would corrode. A mortar pH of 9 – 11 would limit the corrosion (and hydrogen production) of any unreacted aluminium and magnesium. Magnesium-silicate-hydrate (M-S-H) is formed from the hydration of magnesium and silica sources. An M-S-H mortar using magnesium oxide (MgO) and microsilica had a final pH of 10 – 11, porosity of 9.2 %, and achieved strengths of 40 MPa by 90 days. Using an M-S-H mortar as an encapsulation matrix could allow for the Magnox sludge to be included as a component in the mortar, significantly reducing waste volume. Two mortars, using Mg(OH)2-based sources (powder and sludge (CMgS)), were optimised for waste use, maximising the proportion of included Mg(OH)2 whilst still meeting the set criteria. Mg(OH)2 has a low reactivity, so MgO was added to promote early M-S-H formation. Using CMgS reduced the mortar fluidity, requiring an increased water/solid ratio. The properties of these mortars (and a reference MgO-based mortar) were studied for up to 1 year. The mortars met the encapsulation criteria. The CMgS-based mortar achieved a compressive strength of 25 MPa, connected porosity of 8.8 % by 365 days, a pH between 10 – 11 and exhibited the greatest resistance to chemical ingress. If the CMgS-based M-S-H mortar was used as the encapsulation matrix, with Magnox sludge as the Mg(OH)2 component, the waste package volume would be 4, 000 m3, reducing the required storage space by 52 %.

description: Die Möglichkeit, das Outcome von Patienten nach herzchirurgischen Eingriffen einzuschätzen, ist für die Risiko-Nutzen-Abwägung essenziell. Zur Verfügung stehende Risikostratifizierungsmodelle wie der EuroSCORE II können unterstützen, lassen dabei allerdings die rechtsventrikuläre Funktion weitestgehend außer Acht. Derweil ist die RV-Funktion integraler Bestandteil des peri- und postoperativen Verlaufs, ihre Quantifizierung aufgrund der komplexen Anatomie allerdings herausfordernd. Es mangelt an aussagekräftigen Parametern, die für das perioperative Setting ausreichend validiert sind. In dieser retrospektiven Studie wurde ein heterogenes Patientenkollektiv vor unterschiedlichen elektiven kardiochirurgischen Eingriffen mittels transösophagealer Echokardiographie untersucht. Aus den dreidimensionalen Aufnahmen wurden mithilfe von Speckle-Tracking Verfahren dreidimensionale Meshes generiert. Zur volumetrischen Analyse erfolgte eine Einteilung des RV anhand anatomischer Strukturen in die drei Regionen Inflow, Apex und RVOT. Die globalen und regionalen RV-Funktionsparameter wurden daraufhin hinsichtlich ihrer Assoziation mit einem kombinierten Endpunkt (definiert als Tod oder Bedarf extrakorporaler Kreislaufunterstützung während des Krankenhausaufenthalts) überprüft. In den durchgeführten Analysen zeigten sich einige regionale Funktionsparameter – RVEF und rel. SV des Inflow sowie rel. SV des Apex – den traditionellen globalen Parametern des RV und LV und auch dem etablierten EuroSCORE II bezüglich der Assoziation mit dem Endpunkt überlegen. Insbesondere ein daraus abgeleiteter neuartiger Parameter, die Apex/Inflow rel. SV-Ratio, in Kombination mit dem Vorliegen einer Trikuspidalklappeninsuffizienz (≥ Grad 2) zeigte eine signifikante Assoziation mit dem Endpunkt. Eine ergänzende Implementierung dieser regionalen Parameter in bestehende Risikoscores könnte deren Prognosewertigkeit verbessern, sodass eine noch realistischere Einschätzung des Risikos und eine kritische Abwägung der OP-Indikation erfolgen kann.
Biosensors for antimicrobial optimisation

description: 1.3 million people a year die from antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections, and without improved stewardship of antimicrobials to reduce further development of AMR, the number of deaths from AMR infections is likely to rise to 10 million deaths a year by 2050. One contributing factor to the development of AMR is suboptimal dosing of antimicrobials. Therapeutic drug monitoring offers a potential route to optimising dosing, however current techniques generally rely on mass spectrometry which is prohibitively expensive and time consuming to implement widely and is often unavailable in low resource settings. Therapeutic drug monitoring is therefore rarely used for antimicrobials. Biosensors offer a solution to this problem, providing inexpensive fast methods for monitoring antimicrobial concentrations for optimisation of antimicrobial dosing. This thesis discusses three biosensor technologies. Firstly, developing a point of care disposable electrochemical biosensor for the detection of Cefiderocol and then expanding this technology into a continuous microneedle sensor. Secondly developing a detailed model of enzymatic biosensor and applying it to assessing the viability of beta lactamase sensors for monitoring beta lactams. Lastly, producing a new method for the chronoamperometric interrogation of aptamer sensors, with the aim of removing the need for individual calibration of aptamer sensors.

description: The human gut microbiome has garnered scientific interest due to its key role in health. Maintaining a balanced microbiome is crucial for preventing harmful pathogens from colonizing the intestine and causing disease. It has been shown that drugs beyond classical antibiotics, inhibit growth of gut bacteria in monoculture. To translate these findings to a community context, we developed the synthetic model community Com20, consisting of 20 prevalent and abundant species of the human gut microbiome for which the individual direct growth effects of over 1000 non-antibiotic drugs have already been described. We identified S. perfringens as a key member required for Com20 community stability in vitro and explored the impact of individual community members when challenged with diverse pathogenic Gammaproteobacteria. Among them, Salmonella typhimurium showed the greatest variability in growth when a single strain was absent from the community. Com20 was able to colonize mice long-term, making the model suitable for investigating a chronic treatment regimen followed by a subsequent pathogen challenge. This allows us to explore the impact of non-antibiotic drugs on disrupting colonization resistance. To identify drugs which affect the community in vitro, we used Com20 and human stool-derived communities and treated them for 24h with >50 non-antibiotic drugs in different concentrations, before challenging the drug-treated communities with Salmonella typhimurium. Approximately 35% of the tested drugs increased the growth of the pathogen, which can be explained by shifts in community composition or a decrease in community biomass. We then challenged drug-treated communities with various other pathogenic Gammaproteobacteria and observed an increase in pathogen growth. We tested 5 drugs in our chronic treatment animal model in both defined colonized and conventional mice to demonstrate the risk of non-antibiotic drugs in disrupting colonization resistance. Drugs that promoted the growth of Salmonella typhimurium and other Gammaproteobacteria in the in vitro screen resulted in an increase of fecal Salmonella counts in both animal models, suggesting a possible influence of non-antibiotics on infection risk. In summary, our study provides a model which allows for a detailed examination of the effects of non-antibiotic drugs within a controlled context and highlights a critical and overlooked issue regarding the implications of non-antibiotic drug usage on microbial dynamics and pathogen proliferation.

Characterisation and modelling of deep fault-related karst reservoirs in the Ordovician Tarim Basin, Northwest China
Creators: name: Dong, Xinyu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Carbonate reservoirs at ultra-deep depth (> 7000 m) in the Tarim Basin, NW China, exhibit extremely low host-rock permeability and porosity. The development and distribution of these reservoirs are predominantly influenced by strike-slip fault systems, whose complex structures largely control reservoir heterogeneity. The scarcity of wells at these depths compounds the challenge of accurately determining reservoir architecture, increasing uncertainty in reservoir character during exploration. This thesis presents a geological study of an ultra-deep carbonate reservoir in the Shunbei oilfield, north-central Tarim Basin. It aims to characterise the geological heterogeneity controlling porosity and permeability distributions using seismic data, wells and geological analogues. The thesis first describes the seismic-stratigraphic framework of the reservoir that aids in predicting the distribution of high permeability and porosity. It identifies seismic facies indicative of various depositional environments, from lagoonal mudstones to reef-shoal complexes, and investigates the influence of hypogene karst formation driven by hydrothermal fluids. This thesis further characterises the geometry and distribution of Permian igneous rocks in the reservoir overburden, identifying five seismic facies that reveal a complex history of felsic and mafic volcanism. Magmatic activity is evidenced by the presence of volcaniclastic mass transport complexes and intrusive sills, and may be linked to the generation of hydrothermal fluids that impact reservoir quality. Lastly, this thesis assesses the structural and sedimentological heterogeneities within the carbonate reservoir by employing a screening study approach that integrates experimental design with sketch-based, 3D reservoir modelling, and flow diagnostics. This analysis focuses on the influence of fault architectures, properties, fractures, and host-rock variability on reservoir behaviour, providing insights into the mechanisms governing fluid flow in such reservoirs. Overall, this thesis highlights the complex interplay of depositional environments and stratigraphy, magmatism, and post-depositional processes on the development of ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs in the Tarim Basin.
