description: It has been recognized for some time that the very high fluence of fast (14.1MeV) neutrons produced by deuterium-tritium fusion will represent a major materials challenge for the development of next-generation fusion energy projects such as a fusion component test facility and demonstration fusion power reactor. The best-understood and most promising solutions presently available are a family of low-activation steels originally developed for use in fission reactors, but the ferromagnetic properties of these steels represent a danger to plasma confinement through enhancement of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities and increased susceptibility to error fields.
      At present, experimental research into the effects of ferromagnetic materials on MHD stability in toroidal geometry has been confined to demonstrating that it is still possible to operate an advanced tokamak in the presence of ferromagnetic components. In order to better quantify the effects of ferromagnetic materials on tokamak plasma stability, a new ferritic wall has been installated in the High Beta Tokamak—Extended Pulse (HBT-EP) device. The development, assembly, installation, and testing of this wall as a modular upgrade is described, and the effect of the wall on machine performance is characterized. Comparative studies of plasma dynamics with the ferritic wall close-fitting against similar plasmas with the ferritic wall retracted demonstrate substantial effects on plasma stability. Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) are applied, demonstrating a 50% increase in n = 1 plasma response amplitude when the ferritic wall is near the plasma. Susceptibility of plasmas to disruption events increases by a factor of 2 or more with the ferritic wall inserted, as disruptions are observed earlier with greater frequency. Growth rates of external kink instabilities are observed to be twice as large in the presence of a close-fitting ferritic wall. Initial studies are made of the influence of mode rotation frequency on the ferritic effect, as well as observations of the effect of the ferritic wall on disruption halo currents.

description: The relationship between salt intake and cardiovascular diseases is a contemporary scientific controversy, which has been attributed to the limits of the measures of salt intake used in the studies. Thus, this article sought to systematically review the literature on the methods used to estimate salt intake in different study designs. Of the 124 articles, 60.5% used only biochemical measures, 26.6% only self-report measures and 12.9% reported the combined use of both methods. The 24-hour urinary sodium excretion was the predominant biochemical method (79.1%) and the Food Frequency Questionnaire was the predominant self-report measure (36.4%). Interventional studies used mostly 24-hour urinary sodium excretion; while longitudinal studies used self-report measures. The question guiding the study and its design, as well as constraints related to costs, sample size and feasibility seems to influence the choice of the type of measurement.

description: The recently established connection between stochastic thermodynamics and fluctuating hydrodynamics is applied to a study of efficiencies in the coupled transport of heat and matter on a small scale. A stochastic model for a mesoscopic cell connected to two macroscopic reservoirs of heat and particles is developed, based on fluctuating hydrodynamics. Within this approach, the fluctuating separation and thermodynamic efficiencies are defined. The conditions required to observe bimodal distributions of these efficiencies are determined, and the evolution of these distributions is investigated in the large-size and in the long-time limits. The results obtained are not restricted to thermodiffusion and can be generalized to systems where efficiency is defined as a ratio of stochastic state variables or dissipation rates.

description: Extending a method developed by Sasaki in the Schwarzschild case and by Shibata, Sasaki, Tagoshi, and Tanaka in the Kerr case, we calculate the post-Newtonian expansion of the gravitational wave luminosities from a test particle in circular orbit around a rotating black hole up to $O(v^8)$ beyond the quadrupole formula. The orbit of a test particle is restricted on the equatorial plane. We find that spin dependent terms appear in each post-Newtonian order, and that at $O(v^6)$ they have a significant effect on the orbital phase evolution of coalescing compact binaries. By comparing the post-Newtonian formula of the luminosity with numerical results we find that, for $30M\lesssim r \lesssim 100M$, the spin dependent terms at $O(v^6)$ and $O(v^7)$ improve the accuracy of the post-Newtonian formula significantly, but those at $O(v^8)$ do not improve.

description: Background: Current national prevalence estimates of DSM-5 diagnosed substance use disorders (SUDs) among adults with justice system involvement are lacking. Methods: This study drew from NESARC-III data (n = 36,309; 2012–2013), a nationally representative U.S. sample, to examine current and lifetime alcohol use disorder (AUD) and drug use disorder (DUD) diagnoses among adults reporting current or prior drug-related, alcohol-related, and general legal problems. Results: Adults reporting current alcohol-related legal problems were 22 times more likely to have a current AUD diagnosis (AOR = 22.0, 95% CI = 12.1; 40.1) and 15 times more likely to have had a lifetime AUD diagnosis (AOR = 15.2, 95% CI = 7.5; 30.9) than adults without alcohol-related legal problems. Adults with lifetime drug-related legal problems were 3–5 times more likely to have a current (AOR = 2.6, 95% CI = 2.1; 3.2) and lifetime (AOR = 5.1, 95% CI = 4.3; 6.1) DUD diagnosis, with stimulant use disorder being the most prevalent (AOR = 5.4, 95% CI = 4.5; 6.5). Adults with general legal problems were around 3 times more likely to have a current AUD (AOR = 3.2, 95% CI = 2.6; 4.0) or DUD (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI = 2.8; 4.4). Women with any type of legal problem were more likely to have SUD diagnoses than men. Conclusions: SUD diagnoses are prevalent among adults reporting legal problems, particularly those involving alcohol. There is a continued need for community-based addiction prevention and intervention efforts, especially for women with justice system involvement.

Protein-protein interactions

description: This thesis focuses on the two research projects which have applied machine learning techniques to the protein-related topics. The first project is to use protein sequences and the interaction graph to address the protein-protein interaction prediction problem. The second project is to leverage the sequences of protein loops within and beyond homologs to predict the protein loop structures. In the protein-protein interaction prediction project, we applied the pretrained language models, which were trained on large sets of protein sequences, as one of the protein feature extraction methods. Another feature extraction method is the graph learning on the protein interaction graph. The graph learning embeddings and the language model embeddings were fed into classification models to predict if two proteins are interacting or not. We trained and tested our methods on the S. cerevisiae dataset and the human dataset. Our results are comparable to or better than other state-of-art methods, with the advantages that our method is faster at the sample preparation step and has a larger application scope for requiring only protein sequences. We also did experiments with datasets from different similarity cutoffs between the train and test set of the human dataset, and our method has shown an effective prediction ability even with a strict similarity cutoff. In the protein loop prediction project, we utilized the attention-based encoder-decoder language models to predict the protein loop inter-residue distances from the protein loop sequences. We fed the model with the loop sequences and received arrays of numbers representing the distances between each C_α pair in the loops. We utilized two different strategies to reconstruct the loops from the predicted distances. One was firstly to calculate the C_α coordinates from the predicted distances, and then apply a fast full-atom reconstruction method starting from C_α coordinates to build the local loop structures. Our local loop structure prediction results of this method are very competitive with low local RMSDs, especially with the lowest standard deviations. The second method was to integrate the predicted inter-residue distances as constraints to the de novo loop prediction method PLOP (Jacobson et al. 2004). We tested the loop reconstruction process on the 8-res and 12-res loop benchmark sets. This method has the best performance compared to other state-of-art methods, and the incorporation of such machine learning step decreased the computing time of the standalone PLOP program.

description: In the first part, we determine conditions on spectra X and Y under which either every map from X to Y is phantom, or no nonzero maps are. We also address the question of whether such all or nothing behaviour is preserved when X is replaced with V smash X for V finite. In the second part, we introduce chromatic phantom maps. A map is n-phantom if it is null when restricted to finite spectra of type at least n. We define divisibility and finite type conditions which are suitable for studying n-phantom maps. We show that the duality functor W_{n-1} defined by Mahowald and Rezk is the analog of Brown-Comenetz duality for chromatic phantom maps, and give conditions under which the natural map Y --> W_{n-1}^2 Y is an isomorphism.

description: This study focused on the effect of fly ash/alkaline activator ratio and Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio in class F based geopolymers. The objective of this study is to observe the variation of the compressive strength of the final product depending the solid/liquid ratio. In order to form the geopolymer, various parameters were changed during the geopolymerisation process. The fly ash/alkaline activator ratio studied was: 1.5; 2.0; 2.5. The geopolymeric pasta was heated up to 400 °C, 600 °C and 800 °C. After heating the compressive value of geopolymer, with the fly ash and alkaline activator ratio equal to 2 and Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio of 2.5, decreased with approximative 40 MPa comparative with the value of the sample obtained from the same composition dried for 7 days at normal temperature.

description: In this manuscript, we study the electrically induced breathing of Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) within a 2D lattice model. The Helmholtz free energy of the MOF in electric field consists of two parts: the electrostatic energy of the dielectric body in the external electric field and elastic energy of the framework. The first contribution is calculated from the first principles of statistical mechanics with an account of MOF symmetry. By minimizing the obtained free energy and solving the resulting system of equations, we obtain the local electric field and the parameter of the unit cell (angle $α$). The paper also studies the cross-section area of the unit cell and the polarization as functions of the external electric field. We obtain the hysteresis in the region of the structural transition of the framework. Our results are in qualitative agreement with the literature data of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of MIL-53(Cr).

description: Phthalates are ubiquitous chemical compounds, and two—di-ethyl phthalate (DEP) and di-isobutyl phthalate (DiBP)—are not currently regulated by the U.S. Congress or the European Union. While many reviews of phthalates have been published, none have examined bone health, inflammation, or oxidative stress; anogenital distance was most recently reviewed in 2014. The objective of this paper is to determine if an association exists between mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP) or mono-isobutyl phthalate (MiBP), metabolites of DEP and DiBP, respectively, and the four outcomes indicated above. We conducted a literature search of PubMed through December 2017 and included 29 observational epidemiologic studies published in English that assessed MEP and/or MiBP in relation to one of the above four health outcomes in humans. Two authors rated each paper using a modified Downs and Black (DB) assessment tool; a third author settled score disagreements. A single author extracted information related to the study population, exposure and outcome assessment, covariates, and significant results from each article. Ten studies were identified on anogenital distance, four on bone health, five on inflammation, and thirteen on oxidative stress. Score percentages (total points given out of total possible points) were calculated for each study. The current research suggests a positive association between MiBP and two measures of oxidative stress, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and 8-isoprostane. MEP is potentially associated with 8-OHdG as well, although the evidence is limited by fewer high-quality studies. There does not appear to be an association between anogenital distance and MEP or MiBP, and it is unclear if relationships exist between these phthalate metabolites and bone health and inflammation. Given the role that oxidative stress plays in a number of diseases and the ubiquity of MEP and MiBP, it is important that individuals be aware of potential sources of exposure to these chemicals.

description: Boot firmware, like UEFI-compliant firmware, has been the target of numerous attacks, giving the attacker control over the entire system while being undetected. The measured boot mechanism of a computer platform ensures its integrity by using cryptographic measurements to detect such attacks. This is typically performed by relying on a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Recent work, however, shows that vendors do not respect the specifications that have been devised to ensure the integrity of the firmware's loading process. As a result, attackers may bypass such measurement mechanisms and successfully load a modified firmware image while remaining unnoticed. In this paper we introduce BootKeeper, a static analysis approach verifying a set of key security properties on boot firmware images before deployment, to ensure the integrity of the measured boot process. We evaluate BootKeeper against several attacks on common boot firmware implementations and demonstrate its applicability.

description: We study the Casimir problem as the limit of a conventional quantum field theory coupled to a smooth background. The Casimir energy diverges in the limit that the background forces the field to vanish on a surface. We show that this divergence cannot be absorbed into a renormalization of the parameters of the theory. As a result, the Casimir energy of the surface and other quantities like the surface tension, which are obtained by deforming the surface, cannot be defined independently of the details of the coupling between the field and the matter on the surface. In contrast, the energy density away from the surface and the force between rigid surfaces are finite and independent of these complications.

Petworth Park's hidden past

description: From September 2012 to September 2013 a programme of archaeological survey and investigation was undertaken at Petworth Park, West Sussex, under the auspices of the Monument Trust-funded Petworth Park Archaeology Project. Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's 18th-century landscape design at Petworth House and Park has left a landscape which appears natural and timeless, but nothing could be further from the truth. The project has revealed a complex sequence of change, development and expansion over the course of 800 years, a story of changing fashions and fortunes which have left their mark on the landscape. Working with over 100 volunteers, the Petworth Park Archaeology Project has shed new light on features such as the 17th-century 'lost' North Wing of the House, the 6th Duke of Somerset's monumental stable block and the 18th-century baroque formal gardens which once surrounded the House. It has shown how the use of the Park has included the functional as well as the ornamental, with evidence for industrial activities and estate buildings, and has revealed how portions of the surrounding medieval and post-medieval landscape, including settlement and field systems, have become engulfed and fossilised within the Park. Investigations ranging from desk-based assessment to excavation have not only identified a huge range of archaeological features but have also demonstrated the archaeological potential within the Park and the need for future work to further our understanding of this complex landscape.

description: Galactic, young massive star clusters are approximately coeval aggregates of stars, close enough to resolve the individual stars, massive enough to have produced large numbers of massive stars, and young enough for these stars to be in a pre-supernova state. As such these objects represent powerful natural laboratories in which to study the evolution of massive stars. To be used in this way, it is crucial that accurate and precise distances are known, since this affects both the inferred luminosities of the cluster members and the age estimate for the cluster itself. Here we present distance estimates for three star clusters rich in Red Supergiants ($χ$ Per, NGC 7419 and Westerlund 1) based on their average astrometric parallaxes $\barπ$ in Gaia Data Release 2, where the measurement of $\barπ$ is obtained from a proper-motion screened sample of spectroscopically-confirmed cluster members. We determine distances of $d=2.25^{+0.16}_{-0.14}$kpc, $d=3.00^{+0.35}_{-0.29}$kpc, and $d=3.87^{+0.95}_{-0.64}$kpc for the three clusters respectively. We find that the dominant source of error is that in Gaia's zero-point parallax offset $π_{\rm ZP}$, and we argue that more precise distances cannot be determined without an improved characterization of this quantity.

description: The idea of influencing public opinion through digital media is ubiquitous, yet little is known about its origins. This thesis investigates the use of political communication through hacked websites. It is at the same time an exploratory description of the research tools and methods needed to find and retrieve such material. The dissertation frames political expression through hacking as interference with the strata of digital communication and positions it within a larger history of on- and offline activist practices. The methodological section describes the difficulties of finding and accessing defaced pages, which are almost exclusively held by community-based archives. Based on already available and added metadata, the dataset of defacements is surveyed and topics, periods of high activity and prominent defacer groups are identified. Modes of expression are tracked to give insight to possible defacer motivation. This survey then serves as the basis for the following analysis of two emblematic clusters of activity: The Kashmir conflict and the 9/11 attacks. In a close reading of selected defacements, communication strategies and general types of defacements are described, thereby showcasing the diversity of defacer standpoints and strategies which runs counter to the common uniform depiction of hackers. The notion of defacements as forced injection of material into a public sphere is discussed throughout these close readings and leads to the final analytical section discussing the relation between defacements and WikiLeaks. After reflecting on the themes that unite this dissertation, the conclusion reflects on the preservation and availability of source material on defaced pages. The author expresses the hope that both the research methodology as well as the applied analyses will promote the understanding of web defacements as a resource for inquests into online political expression.

description: With the enhancements in the field of software-defined networking and virtualization technologies, novel networking paradigms such as network function virtualization (NFV) and the Internet of things (IoT) are rapidly gaining ground. Development of IoT as well as 5G networks and explosion in online services has resulted in an exponential growth of devices connected to the network. As a result, application service providers (ASPs) and Internet service providers (ISPs) are being confronted with the unprecedented challenge of accommodating increasing service and traffic demands from the geographically distributed users. To tackle this problem, many ASPs and ISPs, such as Netflix, Facebook, AT&T and others are increasingly adopting micro-services (MS) application architecture. Despite the success of MS in the industry, there is no specific standard or research work for service providers as guidelines, especially from the perspective of basic micro-service operations. In this work, we aim to bridge this gap between industry and academia and discuss different micro-service deployment, discovery and communication options for service providers as a means to forming complete service chains. In addition, we address the problem of scheduling micro-services across multiple clouds, including micro-clouds. We consider different user-level SLAs, such as latency and cost, while scheduling such services. We aim to reduce overall turnaround time as well as costs for the deployment of complete end-to-end service. In this work, we present a novel affinity-based fair weighted scheduling heuristic to solve this problem. We also compare the results of proposed solution with standard greedy scheduling algorithms presented in the literature and observe significant improvements.

Cost generation aspects of the Gibraltar closure plan

description: One of the prime considerations of closure planning is to provide for the long term environmental security of the site. Ideally it is the mandate of any operator to strive towards a program that will require minimal maintenance, control and monitoring of the site leading to the ultimate relinquishment of long term liability. In more recent years, especially for mines with water quality issues, this relinquishment of long term responsibility seems less likely to occur and as a result large bonds are being requested from operators of mines. These bonds insure an on-going sustainable fund to maintain the site. If operators must maintain a presence at these operations, then there is an incentive to make use of the existing infrastructure to create alternate businesses. Gibraltar has embarked on an aggressive program to look for alternative business ventures which generate revenue to offset long term bonding arrangements. Projects being considered or in the works are a solid waste landfill to be located on top of a waste rock dump, a power generation project, metallurgical test work, maintenance work in existing shops, ranching and should the mine start at a later date the development of a hydrometallurgical refinery plant that will operate long after reserves at the Gibraltar site are depleted.

description: Masses of iron sludge generated from engineering practice of classic Fenton reaction constraints its further promotion. Accelerating the FeIII/FeII cycle may be conducive to reducing the initial ferrous slat dosage and the final iron sludge. Based on the reduction of Pd/MIL-100(Fe)-activated hydrogen, an improved Fenton system named MHACF-MIL-100(Fe) was developed at ambient temperature and pressure. 97.8% of sulfamethazine, the target pollutant in this work, could be degraded in 5 min under the conditions of 20 mM H2O2, 25 μM ferrous chloride, initial pH 3.0, 2 g·L-1 composite catalyst Pd/MIL-100(Fe), and hydrogen gas 60 mL·min-1. Combining density functional theory (DFT) calculation and intermediate detection, the degradation of this antibiotic was inferred to start from the cleavage of N-S bond. The catalytic of Pd/MIL-100(Fe), demonstrated by removal efficiency of SMT and the catalyst morphology, remained intact after 6 reaction cycles. The present study provides an insight for the promotion of Fenton reaction.

description: Self-diffusion and impurity diffusion both play crucial roles in the fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures with high surface-to-volume ratios. However, experimental studies of bulk-surface reactions of point defects in semiconductors are strongly hampered by extremely low concentrations and difficulties in the visualization of single point defects in the crystal lattice. Herein we report the first real-time experimental observation of the self-interstitial reactions on a large atomically smooth silicon surface. We show that non-equilibrium self-interstitials generated in silicon bulk during gold diffusion in the temperature range 860-1000^oC are annihilated at the (111) surface, producing the net mass flux of silicon from the bulk to the surface. The kinetics of the two-dimensional islands formed by self-interstitials are dominated by the reactions at the atomic step edges. The activation energy for the interaction of self-interstitials with the surface and energy barrier for gold penetration into the silicon bulk through the surface are estimated. These results demonstrating that surface morphology can be profoundly affected by surface-bulk reactions should have important implications for the development of nanoscale fabrication techniques.

description: Voltage underscaling below the nominal level is an effective solution for improving energy efficiency in digital circuits, e.g., Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). However, further undervolting below a safe voltage level and without accompanying frequency scaling leads to timing related faults, potentially undermining the energy savings. Through experimental voltage underscaling studies on commercial FPGAs, we observed that the rate of these faults exponentially increases for on-chip memories, or Block RAMs (BRAMs). To mitigate these faults, we evaluated the efficiency of the built-in Error-Correction Code (ECC) and observed that more than 90% of the faults are correctable and further 7% are detectable (but not correctable). This efficiency is the result of the single-bit type of these faults, which are then effectively covered by the Single-Error Correction and Double-Error Detection (SECDED) design of the built-in ECC. Finally, motivated by the above experimental observations, we evaluated an FPGA-based Neural Network (NN) accelerator under low-voltage operations, while built-in ECC is leveraged to mitigate undervolting faults and thus, prevent NN significant accuracy loss. In consequence, we achieve 40% of the BRAM power saving through undervolting below the minimum safe voltage level, with a negligible NN accuracy loss, thanks to the substantial fault coverage by the built-in ECC.

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 140, 83-95
description: The article reviews the history of the Long Man of Wilmington, a modern construction of concrete blocks marking the site of a hill figure of uncertain origin and uncertain shape. It examines its relationship with the unencumbered hill figure that existed on the site until 1873. The results of resistivity surveys undertaken by Gravett in 1969 and the present author in 1996--97 are used to try to resolve some of the problems in reconstructing the shape of the Long Man before the 1873--74 bricking.

description: Virtual knot theory is a generalization (discovered by the author in 1996) of knot theory to the study of all oriented Gauss codes. (Classical knot theory is a study of planar Gauss codes.) Graph theory studies non-planar graphs via graphical diagrams with virtual crossings. Virtual knot theory studies non-planar Gauss codes via knot diagrams with virtual crossings. This paper gives basic results and examples (such as non-trivial virtual knots with trivial Jones polynomial), studies fundamental group and quandles of virtual knots, extensions of the bracket and Jones polynomials, quantum link invariants with virtual framings, Vassiliev invariants and applications to knots in thickened surfaces.
