description: Using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer we have measured lags of the 9 to 33 keV photons relative to the 2 to 9 keV photons in the timing noise between 0.01 and 100 Hz in the accreting neutron stars 4U 0614+091 and 4U 1705-44. We performed similar measurements on the accreting black hole candidates Cyg X-1 and GX 339-4 as a comparison. During the observations these sources were all in low (hard) states. We find phase lags of between 0.03 and 0.2 radians in all these sources, with a variation in frequency much less than expected for a lag constant in time. We also measure a coherence consistent with unity in all sources. As already noted for the black hole candidates, these data are inconsistent with simple Comptonization models invoking a constant time delay. Comptonization in a non-uniform medium can perhaps explain the lags. However, the magnitudes of the lags imply that the hot electron gas extends to more than 1000 Schwarzschild radii. This may constitute an energy problem. We argue that while a large hot cloud is possible for black holes which may hide some of their accretion energy in advection, such a distribution may not be possible neutron stars where all the accretion energy is eventually released at the neutron star surface. This casts doubt on the Comptonization model, though the energy problem may be resolved for example by a wind from the inner disk.

description: Este artigo propõe uma análise semiótica do quadro Le Radeau de la Méduse de Thédore Géricault, que retrata o trágico naufrágio desta fragata. Tendo ocorrido na época pós-napoleónica, os elementos pictóricos desta obra imprimem-lhe uma forte intensidade dramática, sendo o plano central ocupado por uma jangada com náufragos a tentar resistir à adversidade do mar. Para além da observação dos personagens presentes, pintados como mártires, reflete-se sobre a prática do canibalismo como forma de sobrevivência em confronto direto com a ética revolucionária da sociedade francesa do início do século XIX, herdeira da Revolução Francesa e da “Declaração dos Direitos do Homem e do Cidadão".

The allosteric activation of ADAMTS13
Creators: name: Petri, Anastasis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: ADAMTS13 regulates the multimeric size of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) in plasma by specific, shear-dependent proteolysis. Despite circulating in a seemingly proteolytically competent form, and with a very long active plasma half-life, ADAMTS13 is specific for VWF, and is resistant to plasma inhibitors. This unprecedented specificity has been attributed to exosite interactions between the ADAMTS13 Spacer, Cysteine-rich, Disintegrin-like and Metalloprotease domains and the unraveled VWF A2 domain, which serve to direct proteolysis. I hypothesized that one or more exosite interactions allosterically activate ADAMTS13 by modulating the conformation of its active site, specifically shaping it to accommodate the VWF scissile bond. My first aim was to characterise the independent contribution of each ADAMTS13 exosite to VWF binding and proteolysis. I generated a new VWF A2 domain fragment (VWF96) as a substrate for ADAMTS13, with/without mutations that ablate each exosite interaction separately. I developed a novel ELISA that specifically detects VWF96, and optimized protocols for monitoring the kinetics of proteolysis. My data show that disruption of the Spacer and Cysteine-rich domain exosite interactions reduces proteolysis by ~15-to-20-fold. These deficits were due to reductions in VWF binding. Intriguingly, a remarkable role in proteolysis was revealed for the Disintegrin-like domain exosite interaction; when ablated, this exosite caused a ~780-fold reduction in proteolysis, due to a ~15-fold reduction in binding (Km), and a ~56-fold reduction in substrate turnover (kcat), consistent with the existence of an allosteric link between the Disintegrin-like domain exosite and the active site in the Metalloprotease domain. ADAMTS13 was previously shown to adopt a folded conformation, maintained by inter-domain interactions. My second aim was to characterise the mechanism by which anti-Spacer/anti-CUB domain monoclonal antibodies unfold ADAMTS13, enhancing proteolysis. I showed that the antibody-induced unfolding primarily enhances the substrate turnover (kcat), rather than substrate binding (Km), which would be consistent with an allosteric link between the non-catalytic domains and the active site. Taken together, these findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms by which the non-catalytic domains of ADAMTS13 influence the active site and confer specificity to VWF proteolysis, and highlight the importance of conformational changes in ADAMTS13 to its enzymatic function.

description: Some particle candidates for dark matter are reviewed in the light of recent experimental and theoretical developments. Models for massive neutrinos are discussed in the light of the recent atmospheric-neutrino data, and used to motivate comments on the plausibility of different solutions to the solar neutrino problem. Arguments are given that the lightest supersymmetric particle should be a neutralino χ, and accelerator and astrophysical constraints used to suggest that 50 GeV \lappeq m_χ\lappeq 600 GeV. Minimizing the fine tuning of the gauge hierarchy favours Ω_χh^2 \sim 0.1. The possibility of superheavy relic particles is mentioned, and candidates from string and $M$ theory are reviewed. Finally, the possibility of non-zero vacuum energy is discussed: its calculation is a great opportunity for a quantum theory of gravity, and the possibility that it is time dependent should not be forgotten.

Advances In optical projection tomography
Creators: name: Watson, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Optical projection tomography (OPT) is a 3D imaging technique that can be applied to non- or weakly scattering samples and is often described as the optical equivalent of x-ray computed tomography (CT). Analogous to x-ray CT, OPT acquires wide-field images of a sample from many angles and uses this projection data to reconstruct the 3D distribution, applicable to both absorption and fluorescence contrast. This thesis describes how to implement OPT on a standard wide-field microscope, derives rigorous models for image formation and reconstruction in OPT, and discusses how performance can be improved in terms of spatial resolution and acquisition time through the use of focal scanning, particularly for samples <1 mm in diameter. After a brief overview of 3D optical imaging techniques, a mathematical framework is developed for the standard experimental approaches to OPT based on telecentric imaging, which allows a rigorous comparison with x-ray CT. It is shown that reconstruction of the optical projections using filtered back projection introduces anisotropy to the spatial resolution in the reconstructed images. The OPTiM adapter plate is then described. This open hardware component, together with openly shared software, allows an existing microscope to be adapted for OPT at low cost, thereby increasing the accessibility of OPT for a wide range of researchers. To improve the performance of OPT in terms of spatial resolution and acquisition time, an alternative data acquisition model for OPT is developed that is based on telecentric remote focal scanning. Detailed analysis quantifies the expected improvement in the spatial resolution of the 3D image reconstructions and the reduction in the acquisition time. The derived mathematical framework is also used to identify factors for further optimisation. The focal-scanning concept is extended to “region-of-interest OPT”, where it is shown that the dynamic control of focal plane position can lead to improved signal to background ratios as well as reducing the impact of streak artefacts. The final section of the thesis addresses the equivalence between a non-telecentric optical system and cone-beam CT, which removes the telecentricity requirement of the traditional approach to OPT. Derivation of the associated optical transform leads to a modified form of reconstruction based on the FDK algorithm. It is shown that axial and lateral tracking enables this new OPT approach to acquire 3D images of a sub-volume within a larger body. The optical setup and associated optical transforms for both telecentric and non-telecentric systems are described.

Dense monocular perception for mobile robotics
Creators: name: Zienkiewicz, Jacek
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: This thesis concerns the problem of providing a mobile robot with detailed perception of its local environment using a passive, monocular camera. We embrace the paradigm of dense visual SLAM and bring it to the domain of small, low-cost robots. This enables us to directly use information collected from all pixels in an image and create dense reconstructions of environments. We present a complete and self-contained perception system that allows a mobile robot to estimate its ego-motion, perform infrastructure-free auto-calibration and build, in real-time, a detailed map of its environment in the form of a height map from a single, monocular camera. Our system is capable of providing a robot with accurate information in a form directly suitable for local navigation and obstacle avoidance. By adopting more restrictive, task-oriented models and using the domain knowledge about our applications we were able to improve performance and robustness. Furthermore, when designing our algorithms, we put a great emphasis on methods that can be efficiently and in a straightforward manner implemented on parallel architectures, and therefore we can achieve excellent scalability in terms of resolution of input images and environment representation. We believe that this work offers a promising route to a truly usable real-time monocular dense SLAM system for mobile robots.

description: A simple and elegant mechanism is proposed to resolve the problem of having a light scalar mediator for self-interacting dark matter and the resulting disruption to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at late times by the former's enhanced Sommerfeld production and decay. The crucial idea is to have Dirac neutrinos with the conservation of U(1) lepton number extended to the dark sector. The simplest scenario consists of scalar or fermion dark matter with unit lepton number accompanied by a light scalar dilepton mediator, which decays to two neutrinos.

Oxidation of zirconium and uranium carbides
Creators: name: Gasparrini, Claudia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Oxidation of uranium carbide (UC) was investigated because it is used as a preliminary treatment prior to storage and permanent disposal of carbide nuclear fuels. Working with UC present some challenges, mainly related to its radioactivity and pyrophoricity, therefore initial studies were conducted on zirconium carbide (ZrC) which is isostructural and exhibits similar chemistry to UC. High temperature environmental scanning electron microscopy (HT-ESEM) was used to examine in situ the oxidation of both ZrC and UC. Oxide products were subsequently analysed using macro to nano characterisation techniques, such as focused ion beam secondary ions mass spectroscopy (FIB-SIMS) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Oxidation of ZrC was studied from 1073 to 1373 K in air and at 1073 K in a 200 Pa oxygen atmosphere. UC oxidation was studied from 723 to 1173 K at different oxygen atmospheres (2–100 Pa) and from 873 to 1173 K in air. A key result was the improved understanding of the role of cracking in the oxidation mechanism of both carbides. Cyclic cracking parallel to the carbide/oxide interface and crack propagation at corners was found to be responsible for the Maltese cross shape of the oxide in ZrC. The oxidation mechanism of ZrC was governed by oxygen diffusion through a layer of constant thickness formed by the cyclic debonding of the interface after the oxide layer reached approximately 20 µm at 1073 K. The interface was an approximately 2 µm thick intermediate layer comprising zirconia nanocrystals (≤5 nm) in an amorphous carbon matrix. Crack length stabilisation was characteristic of UC oxidation to UO2+x while an exponential increase of crack length triggered an explosive transformation producing U3O8 in samples oxidised from 723 to 848 K in 2–100 Pa O2 atmosphere. The explosive transformation was caused by UC self-ignition which proceeded as a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction through the previously fragmented sample. UC oxidised in air from 873 K to 1173 K showed that better oxide conversion can be achieved at lower temperatures, 873 K, as oxide sintering at higher temperatures, 1173 K, limited further oxidation only on cracked surfaces. Oxide cracking was ascribed to the stresses generated from the volumetric transformation from the carbide to the oxide.
High-energy emission from pulsars in polar-cap models with CR-induced cascades
Creators: name: Rudak, B.
name: Dyks, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For a subclass of polar-cap models based on electromagnetic cascades induced by curvature radiation (CR) we calculate broad-band high-energy spectra of pulsed emission expected for classical and millisecond pulsars. The spectra are a combination of curvature and synchrotron components. The spectrum of curvature component breaks at 150MeV, and neither its slope nor level below this energy are compatible with phase-averaged spectra of pulsed X-ray emission inferred from observations. Spectral properties in the combined energy range of ROSAT and ASCA (0.1 - 10 keV) depend upon the location of cyclotron turnover energy epsilon_ct=\hbar{e B \over m_e c} /sin(psi) in the synchrotron component. Unlike in outer-gap models, the available range of pitch angles psi is rather narrow and confined to low values. For classical pulsars, a gradual turnover begins already at 1MeV, and the level of the synchrotron spectrum decreases. At 10keV the curvature component eventually takes over, but with photon index alpha = 2/3, in disagreement with observations. For millisecond pulsars, the X-ray spectra are dominated by synchrotron component with alpha \simeq 1.5, and a sharp turnover into alpha \simeq -1 at epsilon_ct \sim 100eV. Relations of pulsed luminosity L_X to spin-down luminosity \edot are presented for classical and millisecond pulsars. We conclude that spectral properties and fluxes of pulsed non-thermal X-ray emission of some objects, like the Crab or the millisecond pulsar B1821-24, pose a challenge to the subclass of polar-cap models based on curvature and synchrotron radiation alone.

description: Convolutional neural networks can provide a potential framework to characterize groundwater storage from seismic data. Estimation of key components such as the amount of groundwater stored in an aquifer and delineate water-table level, from active-source seismic data are investigated in this study. The data to train, validate, and test the neural networks are obtained by solving wave propagation in a coupled poroviscoelastic-elastic media. A discontinuous Galerkin method is applied to model wave propagation whereas a deep convolutional neural network is used for the parameter estimation problem. In the numerical experiment, the primary unknowns are the amount of stored groundwater and water-table level, and are estimated, while the remaining parameters, assumed to be of less of interest, are marginalized in the convolutional neural networks-based solution. Results, obtained through synthetic data, illustrate the potential of deep learning methods to extract additional aquifer information from seismic data, which otherwise would be impossible based on a set of reflection seismic sections or velocity tomograms.

description: Inspired by results of Eskin and Mirzakhani counting closed geodesics of length $\le L$ in the moduli space of a fixed closed surface, we consider a similar question in the $Out(F_r)$ setting. The Eskin-Mirzakhani result can be equivalently stated in terms of counting the number of conjugacy classes (within the mapping class group) of pseudo-Anosovs whose dilitations have natural logarithm $\le L$. Let $\mathfrak N_r(L)$ denote the number of $Out(F_r)$-conjugacy classes of fully irreducibles satisfying that the natural logarithm of their dilatation is $\le L$. We prove for $r\ge 3$ that as $L\to\infty$, the number $\mathfrak N_r(L)$ has double exponential (in $L$) lower and upper bounds. These bounds reveal behavior not present in the surface setting or in classical hyperbolic dynamical systems.

The Mass and Luminosity Functions of Galaxies and their Evolution

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We set up a model for the evolution of the galaxy luminosity function, taking advantage of recent work that brought in some better understanding of the mass function for gravitationally condensed objects. The physics of cooling of the baryonic component allows us to distinguish halos that become groups or clusters from those that eventually form galaxies (possibly within the former objects). With our new mass function and our new application of the cooling criteria - which motivated this paper - we get a satisfactory and natural cutoff at the bright end of the luminosity function, the needed flat slope for faint magnitudes and the correct trend in colors (brighter galaxies are redder ) within the framework of the hierarchical clustering picture. This infirms earlier claims that the latter was inadequate to reproduce the former observations. We find the velocity dispersion to be a much better parameter than mass or radius to characterize galaxies. We find that bright galaxies form at z~2 from mergers with a rather quiet evolution afterwards, whereas small galaxies are the result of a continuous merging process active up to the present epoch. The transition is found to occur at the observed transition between bright spirals and small dwarf ellipticals or irregulars. The quasar multiplicity as a function of redshift is also discussed.

The role of gut hormones in mediating the beneficial effects of RYGB on glycaemia and energy balance
Creators: name: Behary, Preeshila
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Obesity and type 2 diabetes are both on the rise. Bariatric surgery is currently the most efficient treatment for obesity. Early weight-loss-independent improvement in glycaemia and longer-term ‘remission’ of type 2 diabetes are typically observed post-RYGB. The Gut hormones, GLP-1, OXM and PYY (GOP), are augmented post-prandially after RYGB. They are anorectic and have the potential to enhance beta cell function and increase energy expenditure. We hypothesized that the elevation in GOP levels, mediate the beneficial metabolic effects of RYGB. GOP infused subcutaneously at combined doses of 4/4/0.4 pmol/kg/min, successfully, replicated the peak post-prandial circulating levels of the individual hormone post-RYGB. Subsequently, GOP at 4/4/0.4 pmol/kg/min was infused chronically for 28 days in obese volunteers with type 2 diabetes, in a randomised single-blinded placebo-controlled study. Effects of GOP on Energy Intake (EI), Appetite ratings, Energy Expenditure, Anthropometrics and Glycaemia were assessed and compared to the effects of RYGB on similar parameters. Both an acute and chronic GOP infusion led to a significant reduction in EI, comparable to the effect of RYGB. A similar enhancement in satiety and decrease in ‘prospective food intake’ were observed following GOP and RYGB. However, only RYGB volunteers displayed a significant increase in Diet-induced-Thermogenesis. Weight loss was superior following RYGB compared to GOP at a similar time-frame. Nonetheless, a comparable and significant improvement in Fructosamine, HbA1c, Fasting and Post-prandial Glucose, was generated following both interventions at 4 weeks. Enhancement in beta cell function and insulin sensitivity appeared to be important. In summary, the gut hormones - GOP, are the likely candidates mediating 1) the reduction in EI post-RYGB by promoting satiety and contributing to weight loss 2) the improvement in glycaemia, early after surgery, irrespective of weight loss. Other mechanisms appear to be responsible for the increase in EE and the majority of weight loss, post-RYGB.

description: The BA in Language Management for International Business and the MA in Intercultural Studies for Business, both accredited by A3es (Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education in Portugal) for 6 academic years, were conceptually designed to enhance the international vocation of the training provided at ISCAP, intending to deepen the successful international mobility programs within and outside the EU, by being ETP’s (English taught programmes), which regard the English Language as a lingua franca. In a strategic move toward internationalization, many international enterprises are changing the language of work in all or part of their activities. A great number of documents are being published in English, which has become an official language in meetings, teleconferences, or video conferences. This poses obvious questions of language management and of intercultural communication that these study programmes intend to answer. In times of financial difficulties, especially in Higher Education Institutions, these new study programme represent an opportunity and, simultaneously, a challenge. It is an opportunity to attract foreign students and national students, aiming to develop their internationalization skills in a global market, fostering employability. It is also a challenge because it provides the opportunity to meet the market's demand for internationalization, while providing a completely new framework for teaching how languages and cultures operate in a global world and of their relevance for business, networking and the development of the digital world. Thus, we present and reflect upon the design of a curriculum that weaves Digital Humanities and Business Studies.

description: We present a new spin-exchange relaxation-free vector magnetometer with suppressed 1/f probe noise, achieved by applying a small DC bias field and a comb of magnetic DC $π$ pulses along the pump direction. This results in a synchronous orthogonal AC response for each of its two sensitive axes. The new magnetometer is particularly well-suited to applications such as biomagnetism in which the signal to be measured carries a dominant component of its power at low frequencies. The magnetometer reaches a technical noise floor of 8.4 fT/sqrt(Hz) (x) and 11 fT/sqrt(Hz) (y) at 0.01 Hz. A single-axis DC SERF sharing the same experimental apparatus attains 61 fT/sqrt(Hz) at the same frequency. A noise minimum of 1.1 fT/sqrt(Hz) (x) and 2.0 fT/sqrt(Hz) (y) is reached by the new magnetometer at 10 Hz, compared to 0.7 fT/sqrt(Hz) at 25 Hz for a DC SERF.

description: We investigate the consequences of a non-negligible baryon fraction for models of structure formation in Cold Dark Matter dominated cosmologies, emphasizing in particular the existence of oscillations in the present-day matter power spectrum. These oscillations are the remnants of acoustic oscillations in the photon-baryon fluid before last scattering. For acceptable values of the cosmological and baryon densities, the oscillations modulate the power by up to 10%, with a `period' in spatial wavenumber which is close to Delta k approximately 0.05/ Mpc. We study the effects of nonlinear evolution on these features, and show that they are erased for k > 0.2 h/ Mpc. At larger scales, the features evolve as expected from second-order perturbation theory: the visibility of the oscillations is affected only weakly by nonlinear evolution. No realistic CDM parameter combination is able to account for the claimed feature near k = 0.1 h/ Mpc in the APM power spectrum, or the excess power at 100 Mpc/h wavelengths quoted by several recent surveys. Thus baryonic oscillations are not predicted to dominate existing measurements of clustering. We examine several effects which may mask the features which are predicted, and conclude that future galaxy surveys may be able to detect the oscillatory features in the power spectrum provided baryons comprise more than 15% of the total density, but that it will be a technically challenging achievement.

description: The hyperpolarization of nuclear spins can enable powerful imaging and sensing techniques provided the hyperpolarization is sufficiently long-lived. Recent experiments on nanodiamond $^{13}$C nuclear spins demonstrate that relaxation times can be extended by three orders of magnitude by building up dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) through the driving of electron-nuclear flip-flop processes at defect centers. This finding raises the question of whether the nuclear spin coherence times are also impacted by this hyperpolarization process. Here, we theoretically examine the effect of DNP on the nuclear spin coherence times as a function of the hyperpolarization drive time. We do this by developing a microscopic theory of DNP in a nuclear spin ensemble coupled to microwave-driven defect centers in solids and subject to spin diffusion mediated by internuclear dipolar interactions. We find that, similarly to relaxation times, the nuclear spin coherence times can be increased substantially by a few orders of magnitude depending on the driving time. Our theoretical model and results will be useful for current and future experiments on enhancing nuclear spin coherence times via DNP.

description: The surrogate-based analysis and optimization of thermal damage in living biological tissue by laser irradiation are discussed in this paper. Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and Response Surface Model (RSM) are applied to study surrogate-based optimization of thermal damage in tissue using a generalized dual phase lag model. Response value of high temperature as a function of input variables and relationship of maximum temperature and thermal damage as a function of input variables are investigated. Comparison of SBO model and simulation results for different sample sizes are examined. The results show that every input variable individually has quadratic response of maximum temperature and maximum thermal damage in highly absorbing tissues.

Correlation between Compton reflection and X-ray slope in Seyferts and X-ray binaries

description: We find a very strong correlation between the intrinsic spectral slope in X-rays and the amount of Compton reflection from a cold medium in Seyfert AGNs and in hard state of X-ray binaries with either black holes or weakly-magnetized neutron stars. Objects with soft intrinsic spectra show much stronger reflection than ones with hard spectra. We find that at a given spectral slope, black-hole binaries have similar or more reflection than Seyferts whereas neutron-star binaries in our sample have reflection consistent with that in Seyferts. The existence of the correlation implies a dominant role of the reflecting medium as a source of seed soft photons for thermal Comptonization in the primary X-ray source.

description: The predictive ability of stochastic chemical reactions is currently limited by the lack of closed form solutions to the governing chemical master equation. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes a computational method capable of predicting mathematically rigorous upper and lower bounds of transient moments for reactions governed by the law of mass action. We first derive an equation that transient moments must satisfy based on the moment equation. Although this equation is underdetermined, we introduce a set of semidefinite constraints known as moment condition to narrow the feasible set of the variables in the equation. Using these conditions, we formulate a semidefinite program that efficiently and rigorously computes the bounds of transient moment dynamics. The proposed method is demonstrated with illustrative numerical examples and is compared with related works to discuss advantages and limitations.
Wearable electroencephalography for long-term monitoring and diagnostic purposes

description: Truly Wearable EEG (WEEG) can be considered as the future of ambulatory EEG units, which are the current standard for long-term EEG monitoring. Replacing these short lifetime, bulky units with long-lasting, miniature and wearable devices that can be easily worn by patients will result in more EEG data being collected for extended monitoring periods. This thesis presents three new fabricated systems, in the form of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), to aid the diagnosis of epilepsy and sleep disorders by detecting specific clinically important EEG events on the sensor node, while discarding background activity. The power consumption of the WEEG monitoring device incorporating these systems can be reduced since the transmitter, which is the dominating element in terms of power consumption, will only become active based on the output of these systems. Candidate interictal activity is identified by the developed analog-based interictal spike selection system-on-chip (SoC), using an approximation of the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), as a bandpass filter, and thresholding. The spike selection SoC is fabricated in a 0.35 μm CMOS process and consumes 950 nW. Experimental results reveal that the SoC is able to identify 87% of interictal spikes correctly while only transmitting 45% of the data. Sections of EEG data containing likely ictal activity are detected by an analog seizure selection SoC using the low complexity line length feature. This SoC is fabricated in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology and consumes 1.14 μW. Based on experimental results, the fabricated SoC is able to correctly detect 83% of seizure episodes while transmitting 52% of the overall EEG data. A single-channel analog-based sleep spindle detection SoC is developed to aid the diagnosis of sleep disorders by detecting sleep spindles, which are characteristic events of sleep. The system identifies spindle events by monitoring abrupt changes in the input EEG. An approximation of the median frequency calculation, incorporated as part of the system, allows for non-spindle activity incorrectly identified by the system as sleep spindles to be discarded. The sleep spindle detection SoC is fabricated in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology, consuming only 515 nW. The SoC achieves a sensitivity and specificity of 71.5% and 98% respectively.

description: Schwick, in [6], states that let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of meromorphic functions on a domain $D$ and if for each $f\in\mathcal{F}$, $(f^n)^{(k)}\neq 1$, for $z\in D$, where $n, k$ are positive integers such that $n\geq k+3$, then $\mathcal{F}$ is a normal family in $D$. In this paper, we investigate the opposite view that if for each $f\in\mathcal{F}$, $(f^n)^{(k)}(z)-ψ(z)$ has zeros in $D$, where $ψ(z)$ is a holomorphic function in $D$, then what can be said about the normality of the family $\mathcal{F}$?

description: A produção estética e literária timorense em língua portuguesa é, de grosso modo, desconhecida do público lusófono, revelando-se periférica tanto na sua receção como na sua compreensão. O presente artigo pretende contrariar os parcos estudos literários sobre Luís Cardoso e sobre a sua cultura nativa. Alicerçado em tal intencionalidade, o exercício em apreço pretende intentar uma leitura literária da obra de Luís Cardoso em articulação com elementos antropológicos, históricos e culturais de Timor-Leste. É de crer que a desocultação da simbologia nativa, aos leitores, permita atingir níveis de leitura mais profundos e mais próximos do eventual sentido proposto pelo autor.
