description: Latency-critical computer vision systems, such as autonomous driving or drone control, require fast image or video compression when offloading neural network inference to a remote computer. To ensure low latency on a near-sensor edge device, we propose the use of lightweight encoders with constant bitrate and pruned encoding configurations, namely, ASTC and JPEG XS. Pruning introduces significant distortion which we show can be recovered by retraining the neural network with compressed data after decompression. Such an approach does not modify the network architecture or require coding format modifications. By retraining with compressed datasets, we reduced the classification accuracy and segmentation mean intersection over union (mIoU) degradation due to ASTC compression to 4.9-5.0 percentage points (pp) and 4.4-4.0 pp, respectively. With the same method, the mIoU lost due to JPEG XS compression at the main profile was restored to 2.7-2.3 pp. In terms of encoding speed, our ASTC encoder implementation is 2.3x faster than JPEG. Even though the JPEG XS reference encoder requires optimizations to reach low latency, we showed that disabling significance flag coding saves 22-23% of encoding time at the cost of 0.4-0.3 mIoU after retraining.

description: Owing to global warming and particularly high regional ocean warming, both Thwaites and Pine Island Glaciers in the Amundsen region of the Antarctic Ice Sheet could lose their buttressing ice shelves over time. We analyse the possible consequences using the parallel ice sheet model (PISM), applying a simple cliff-calving parameterization and an ice mélange-buttressing model. We find that the instantaneous loss of ice-shelf buttressing, due to enforced ice-shelf melting, initiates grounding-line retreat and triggers marine ice sheet instability (MISI). As a consequence, the grounding line progresses into the interior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and leads to a sea level contribution of 0.6m within 100a. By subjecting the exposed ice cliffs to cliff calving using our simplified parameterization, we also analyse marine ice cliff instability (MICI). In our simulations it can double or even triple the sea level contribution depending on the only loosely constrained parameter that determines the maximum cliff-calving rate. The speed of MICI depends on this upper bound of the calving rate, which is given by the ice mélange buttressing the glacier. However, stabilization of MICI may occur for geometric reasons. Because the embayment geometry changes as MICI advances into the interior of the ice sheet, the upper bound on calving rates is reduced and the progress of MICI is slowed down. Although we cannot claim that our simulations bear relevant quantitative estimates of the effect of ice-mélange buttressing on MICI, the mechanism has the potential to stop the instability. Further research is needed to evaluate its role for the past and future evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

description: Background Maintaining gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome diversity plays a key role during allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and loss of diversity correlates with acute GI graft versus host disease (GvHD) and poor outcomes. Methods In this retrospective analysis of 161 ASCT patients, we used serial analyses of urinary 3-indoxyl sulfate (3-IS) levels and GI microbiome parameters within the first 10 days after ASCT to identify potential commensal microbiota–sparing antibiotics. Based on antibiotic activity, we formed 3 subgroups (Rifaximin without systemic antibiotics, Rifaximin with systemic antibiotics, and Ciprofloxacin/Metronidazole with/without systemic antibiotics). Results Mono-antibiosis with Rifaximin revealed higher 3-IS levels (P < .001), higher Clostridium cluster XIVa (CCXIVa) abundance (P = .004), and higher Shannon indices (P = .01) compared to Ciprofloxacin/Metronidazole with/without systemic antibiotics. Rifaximin followed by systemic antibiotics maintained microbiome diversity compared to Ciprofloxacin/Metronidazole with/without systemic antibiotics, as these patients showed still higher 3-IS levels (P = .04), higher CCXIVa copy numbers (P = .01), and higher Shannon indexes (P = .01). Even for this larger cohort of patients, the outcome was superior with regard to GI GvHD (P = .05) and lower transplant-related mortality (P < .001) for patients receiving Rifaximin plus systemic antibiotics compared to other types of systemic antibiotic treatment. Antibiosis with Ciprofloxacin/Metronidazole (n = 12, P = .01), Piperacillin/Tazobactam (n = 52, P = .01), Meropenem/Vancomycin (n = 16, P = .003), Ceftazidime (n = 10, P = .03), or multiple systemic antibiotics (n = 53, P = .001) showed significantly lower 3-IS levels compared to mono-antibiosis with Rifaximin (n = 14) or intravenous Vancomycin (n = 4, not statistically significant). Conclusions Different types of antibiotic treatments show different impacts on markers of microbiome diversity. The identification of antibiotics sparing commensal bacteria remains an ongoing challenge. However, Rifaximin allowed a higher intestinal microbiome diversity, even in the presence of systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics.

description: In this work, we study the numerical solution for parabolic equations whose solutions have a common property of blowing up in finite time and the equations are invariant under the following scaling transformation $$u \mapsto u_λ(x,t):= λ^{\frac{2}{p-1}}u(λx, λ^2 t).$$ For that purpose, we apply the rescaling method proposed by Berger and Kohn in 1988 to such problems. The convergence of the method is proved under some regularity assumption. Some numerical experiments are given to derive the blow-up profile verifying henceforth the theoretical results.

'Realistic Opportunity?' The Distribution of Affordable Housing and Jobs in New Jersey
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Future
Year: 2003

description: To achieve the state's goal of an equitable distribution of affordable housing and to ensure that places with large or growing numbers of jobs also offer adequate amounts of housing affordable to all workers, New Jersey needs to overhaul its housing policy. In its separation of workersfrom jobs, the present geographic distribution of affordable housing has important implications for New Jersey's economy. Currently, households in need of affordable housing are effectively restricted in their residential choices to a small handful of municipalities, while new job opportunities are being created elsewhere. If the conditions that perpetuate and intensify the need for affordable housing - chronic, concentrated poverty and disappearing jobs - are ever to be ameliorated, it is critical that lower income households have a realistic opportunity to access growing communities with new jobs.The state could accomplish this by adopting a 'growth share' approach, linking the creation of affordable housing to commercial and market-rate residential development, and by abolishing RCAs, which serve only to further institutionalize the concentration of poverty.

Lubrication mechanisms and frictional behaviour of hydrogels
Creators: name: Porte, Elze Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Damaged articular cartilage due to osteoarthritis or sports injuries cannot be cured and the only treatment for severely damaged cartilage is a total joint replacement. Tissue replacement can potentially improve treatment and reduce costs. Hydrogels are considered as cartilage replacements because they have similar physical properties – they are bi-phasic, porous, and have appropriate stiffness – but their clinical success is limited due to poor tribological performance. Our understanding of hydrogel tribology relies on fluid load support theory, which was established for cartilage. The theory holds pressurisation of the interstitial fluid to be crucial for low friction by assuming the load is shared between the solid and liquid phase of the material. However, evidence for this mechanism in hydrogels is limited; a hydrogel-specific understanding of lubrication mechanisms and frictional behaviour is required to successfully optimise hydrogels as cartilage replacement materials. In this study, the frictional behaviour of hydrogels was assessed by measuring the friction forces in reciprocating sliding tests, using photoelastic and fluorescent imaging techniques to identify the lubrication mechanisms. The results showed that fluid load support was not the governing lubrication mechanism and that a new theory is required to explain the frictional behaviour. A new ‘replenishment’ theory was established based on the observation that the motion of the contact played a crucial role in providing lubricant and lowering friction. The major contribution of this thesis is the replenishment theory, highlighting contact motion as an important parameter in biotribological assessments, and which can be used for optimisation of hydrogels. Better hydrogels can be developed by studying the effect of material choices on interfacial shear under non-replenishment conditions. Another contribution is the introduction of photoelastic imaging methods to the study of hydrogel tribology, which can be further applied to better understand hydrogel behaviour and improve the design of hydrogels.

description: The stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet under global warming is governed by a number of dynamic processes and interacting feedback mechanisms in the ice sheet, atmosphere and solid Earth. Here we study the long-term effects due to the interplay of the competing melt-elevation and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) feedbacks for different temperature step forcing experiments with a coupled ice-sheet and solid-Earth model. Our model results show that for warming levels above 2 C, Greenland could become essentially ice-free within several millennia, mainly as a result of surface melting and acceleration of ice flow. These ice losses are mitigated, however, in some cases with strong GIA feedback even promoting an incomplete recovery of the Greenland ice volume. We further explore the full-factorial parameter space determining the relative strengths of the two feedbacks: our findings suggest distinct dynamic regimes of the Greenland Ice Sheets on the route to destabilization under global warming - from incomplete recovery, via quasi-periodic oscillations in ice volume to ice-sheet collapse. In the incomplete recovery regime, the initial ice loss due to warming is essentially reversed within 50000years, and the ice volume stabilizes at 61-93 of the present-day volume. For certain combinations of temperature increase, atmospheric lapse rate and mantle viscosity, the interaction of the GIA feedback and the melt-elevation feedback leads to self-sustained, long-term oscillations in ice-sheet volume with oscillation periods between 74000 and over 300000 years and oscillation amplitudes between 15-70 of present-day ice volume. This oscillatory regime reveals a possible mode of internal climatic variability in the Earth system on timescales on the order of 100000years that may be excited by or synchronized with orbital forcing or interact with glacial cycles and other slow modes of variability. Our findings are not meant as scenario-based near-term projections of ice losses but rather providing insight into of the feedback loops governing the "deep future"and, thus, long-term resilience of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

description: For the first time, vertically resolved long-term lidar measurements of the aerosol distribution were conducted in Haifa, Israel. The measurements were performed by a PollyXT multi-wavelength Raman and polarization lidar. The lidar was measuring continuously over a 2-year period from March 2017 to May 2019. The resulting data set is a series of manually evaluated lidar optical property profiles. To identify the aerosol types in the observed layers, a novel aerosol typing method that was developed at TROPOS is used. This method applies optimal estimation to a combination of lidar-derived intensive aerosol properties to determine the statistically most-likely contribution per aerosol component in terms of relative volume. A case study that shows several elevated aerosol layers illustrates this method and shows, for example, that coarse dust particles are observed up to 5ĝ€¯km height over Israel. From the whole data set, the seasonal distribution of the observed aerosol components over Israel is derived. Throughout all seasons, coarse spherical particles like sea salt and hygroscopically grown continental aerosol were observed. These particles originate from continental Europe and were transported over the Mediterranean Sea. Sea-salt particles were observed frequently due to the coastal site of Haifa. The highest contributions of coarse spherical particles are present in summer, autumn, and winter. During spring, mostly coarse non-spherical particles that are attributed to desert dust were observed. This is consistent with the distinct dust season in spring in Israel. An automated time-height-resolved air mass source attribution method identifies the origin of the dust in the Sahara and the Arabian deserts. Fine-mode spherical particles contribute significantly to the observed aerosol mixture during all seasons. These particles originate mainly from the industrial region at the bay of Haifa.

description: A fundamental question in many-body physics is how closed quantum systems reach equilibrium. We address this question experimentally and theoretically in an ultracold large-spin Fermi gas where we find a complex interplay between internal and motional degrees of freedom. The fermions are initially prepared far from equilibrium with only a few spin states occupied. The subsequent dynamics leading to redistribution among all spin states is observed experimentally and simulated theoretically using a kinetic Boltzmann equation with full spin coherence. The latter is derived microscopically and provides good agreement with experimental data without any free parameters. We identify several collisional processes, which occur on different time scales. By varying density and magnetic field, we control the relaxation dynamics and are able to continuously tune the character of a subset of spin states from an open to a closed system.

description: In the first half of the paper, we study in details NS-branes, including the NS5-brane, the Kaluza-Klein monopole and the exotic $5_2^2$- or Q-brane, together with Bianchi identities for NSNS (non)-geometric fluxes. Four-dimensional Bianchi identities are generalized to ten dimensions with non-constant fluxes, and get corrected by a source term in presence of an NS-brane. The latter allows them to reduce to the expected Poisson equation. Without sources, our Bianchi identities are also recovered by squaring a nilpotent $Spin(D,D) \times \mathbb{R}^+$ Dirac operator. Generalized Geometry allows us in addition to express the equations of motion explicitly in terms of fluxes. In the second half, we perform a general analysis of ten-dimensional geometric backgrounds with non-geometric fluxes, in the context of $β$-supergravity. We determine a well-defined class of such vacua, that are non-geometric in standard supergravity: they involve $β$-transforms, a manifest symmetry of $β$-supergravity with isometries. We show as well that these vacua belong to a geometric T-duality orbit.

description: Two layers of Saharan dust observed over Leipzig, Germany, in February and March 2021 were used to provide the first-ever lidar measurements of the dust lidar ratio (extinction-to-backscatter ratio) and linear depolarization ratio at all three classical lidar wavelengths (355, 532 and 1064gnm). The pure-dust conditions during the first event exhibit lidar ratios of 47g±g8, 50g±g5 and 69g±g14gsr and particle linear depolarization ratios of 0.242g±g0.024, 0.299g±g0.018 and 0.206g±g0.010 at wavelengths of 355, 532 and 1064gnm, respectively. The second, slightly polluted-dust case shows a similar spectral behavior of the lidar and depolarization ratio with values of the lidar ratio of 49g±g4, 46g±g5 and 57g±g9gsr and the depolarization ratio of 0.174g±g0.041, 0.298g±g0.016 and 0.242g±g0.007 at 355, 532 and 1064gnm, respectively. The results were compared with Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) version 3 (v3) inversion solutions and the Generalized Retrieval of Aerosol and Surface Properties (GRASP) at six and seven wavelengths. Both retrieval schemes make use of a spheroid shape model for mineral dust. The spectral slope of the lidar ratio from 532 to 1064gnm could be well reproduced by the AERONET and GRASP retrieval schemes. Higher lidar ratios in the UV were retrieved by AERONET and GRASP. The enhancement was probably caused by the influence of fine-mode pollution particles in the boundary layer which are included in the columnar photometer measurements. Significant differences between the measured and retrieved wavelength dependence of the particle linear depolarization ratio were found. The potential sources for these uncertainties are discussed.

description: We constrain the parameters of a self-interacting massive dark matter scalar particle in a condensate using the kinematics of the eight brightest dwarf spheroidal satellites of the Milky Way. For the case of a repulsive self-interaction the condensate develops a mass density profile with a characteristic scale radius that is closely related to the fundamental parameters of the theory. We find that the velocity dispersion of dwarf spheroidal galaxies suggests a scale radius of the order of 1 kpc, in tension with previous results found using the rotational curve of low-surface-brightness and dwarf galaxies. The new value is however favored marginally by the constraints coming from the number of relativistic species at Big-Bang nucleosynthesis. We discuss the implications of our findings for the particle dark matter model and argue that while a single classical coherent state can correctly describe the dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies, it cannot play, in general, a relevant role for the description of dark matter in bigger objects.

description: We present an error reduction method for obtaining glueball correlators from monte carlo simulations of SU(3) lattice gauge theory. We explore the scalar and tensor channels at three different lattice spacings. Using this method we can follow glueball correlators to temporal separations even up to 1 fermi. We estimate the improvement over the naive method and compare our results with existing computations.

description: Glioblastoma remains a fatal diagnosis. Previous research has shown that metformin, which is an inhibitor of complex I of the respiratory chain, may inhibit some brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs), albeit at dosages that are too high for clinical use. Here, we explored whether a combined treatment of metformin and diclofenac, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) shown to inhibit glycolysis by interfering with lactate efflux, may lead to additive or even synergistic effects on BTICs (BTIC-8, -11, -13 and -18) and tumor cell lines (TCs, U87, and HTZ349). Therefore, we investigated the functional effects, including proliferation and migration, metabolic effects including oxygen consumption and extracellular lactate levels, and effects on the protein level, including signaling pathways. Functional investigation revealed synergistic anti-migratory and anti-proliferative effects of the combined treatment with metformin and diclofenac on BTICs and TCs. Signaling pathways did not sufficiently explain synergistic effects. However, we observed that metformin inhibited cellular oxygen consumption and increased extracellular lactate levels, indicating glycolytic rescue mechanisms. Combined treatment inhibited metformin-induced lactate increase. The combination of metformin and diclofenac may represent a promising new strategy in the treatment of glioblastoma. Combined treatment may reduce the effective doses of the single agents and prevent metabolic rescue mechanisms. Further studies are needed in order to determine possible side effects in humans.

description: Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have been increasingly used in various applications. Often, the ENMs are functionalised with a surface coating to enhance their properties. Decades of research has provided information on mostly pristine and unmodified ENMs, while ecotoxicity of coated ENMs and how their hazard changes with age in soils is still uncertain. The thesis aimed to determine the toxic effects and bioaccumulation potential of CuO ENMs and CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with different chemical coatings (carboxylate, COOH; polyethylene glycol, PEG; ammonium, NH4+) on the earthworm (Eisenia fetida), and compare the effects to their metal salt (CuSO4) or micron-sized counterpart. Then, to determine if any observed toxicity was altered after ageing the soils for up to one year. Incidental plant growth was studied in the exposure soils to maximise the scientific value of the earthworm tests. Toxic effects of CuO ENMs were also assessed in Caenorhabditis elegans exposed in liquid and soil media to understand effects of the media and method of dosing on ENM toxicity. CuO ENMs were equally toxic to earthworms, or less toxic to plants than the dissolved Cu; whereas CdTe QD ENMs were more toxic than the micron-sized CdTe QDs. There was a coating effect in both, CuO and CdTe QD ENM experiments, the -COOH coated ENMs were most toxic in the fresh soil study, while -NH4+ coated ENMs were most toxic in the aged soil study. Despite the similarities in the toxicity ranking, the biological effects exerted were different between CuO and CdTe QD ENMs. In C. elegans exposures, the ENMs were more hazardous than dissolved Cu, but ranking of ENMs depended on the media and method of dosing. The results suggest the coating effect is determined by the reactivity of the coating in a given media, and it also depends on the core of the ENMs. As such, coating and ageing effects should be considered in the risk assessment of ENMs.

An integrated approach to numerical modelling of metal fatigue crack propagation
Creators: name: Soyemi, Adeleke
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Engineering structures, especially ones that are built-up such as steel bridges and offshore structures, usually contain imperfections in the form of material discontinuities or cracks, arising from the fabrication process, inherent material defects or weak welded or bolted joints. In many cases, this leads to the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracking under repeated loading cycles which require urgent attention. Thus, it has become increasingly necessary to undertake regular inspections in order to prevent the service breakdown of such structures that can potentially bring significant economic risk. Due to limited resources, these checks require an optimised inspection schedule, which can only be achieved through in-depth understanding of the fatigue crack behaviour of any identified cracks. Realising the need for an efficient strategy to undertake such studies, this work proposes a mechanics-based framework that allows realistic cycle-by-cycle fatigue crack growth analysis to be undertaken through an accelerated computation of damage under cyclic loading. A novel material integration (MI) technique is proposed in this work, which computes an accelerated fatigue damage over a number of cycles by integrating the constitutive behaviour of a material point undergoing fatigue damage. Comparisons with existing techniques such as the linear extrapolation technique (LE) and the linear scaling (LS) technique demonstrates its capability to approximate the acceleration of fatigue damage over a sizeable block of constant amplitude loading cycles, thereby achieving a faster computation for an otherwise impracticable numerical cycle-by-cycle solution. In addition, this study has also developed a new framework that is capable of adaptive simulation of fatigue crack growth studies with the purpose of saving computational time, hence targeted towards large scale analyses. This framework is based on a novel shell element formulation allowing for embedded discontinuities, which is coupled with criteria for crack propagation and orientation over a mesh of elements. Verification studies are undertaken on realistic components to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed adaptive analysis procedure, and an application study on a representative steel deck substructure is presented to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach to real problems.
