Stretchable wearable wireless sensors for physiological monitoring of humans and dogs
Creators: name: Cotur, Yasin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Despite the significant developments of wearable devices for humans, few devices developed for dogs to monitor the vital signs unobtrusively offer limited comfort and capability. This thesis presents a dog-computer interaction system for remote, real-time and continuous physiological monitoring of dogs. The system consists of a motion sensor for posture detection, an acoustic sensor for recording heart sounds, and a pressure sensor for monitoring breathing activities, all produced using new approaches to render the systems stretchable and flexible. This thesis detects the posture (lying, sitting, standing and moving) of a dog in real-time with high performance, achieving an accuracy of 86% using a 9-axis inertial measurement unit. This thesis reports a highly flexible, stretchable, and mechanically robust low-cost soft composite material consisting of silicone polymers and water for the recording of heart sounds. When combined with conventional acoustic transducers, the materials reported enables high-performance and real-time monitoring of heart cycles over the furry skin of dogs without the need for direct contact with the skin. This approach enables an entirely new method of fabrication that involves the encapsulation of water and hydrogels with silicones and exploits the ability of sound waves to travel through the body. For monitoring of breathing activities, this thesis reports a simple and cost-effective air-silicone composite transducer which consists of a commercially available gas-pressure sensor combined with an air-enclosed silicone composite. The transducer exploits the motion of the diaphragm due to abdominal geometrical changes during inspiration and expiration. The developed transducers have been tested both with humans and dogs, primarily focusing on monitoring the heart and breathing separately. This thesis is especially important because it is the first demonstration of stretchable wearable sensors that are suitable for use with furry animals and do not require shaving of the animal for data acquisition. This thesis also presents a custom fabricated complete silicone harness that covers the chest of dogs, in which the transducers and electronics (via silicone box) are embedded. The complete device enables the monitoring of physiological signs of both humans and dogs.

description: Disk galaxies evolve over time through processes that may rearrange both the radial mass profile and the metallicity distribution within the disk. This review of such slow changes is largely, though not entirely, restricted to internally-driven processes that can be distinguished from evolution driven by galaxy interactions. It both describes our current understanding of disk evolution, and identifies areas where more work is needed. Stellar disks are heated through spiral scattering, which increases random motion components in the plane, while molecular clouds redirect some fraction of the random energy into vertical motion. The recently discovered process of radial migration at the corotation resonance of a transient spiral mode does not alter the underlying structure of the disk, since it neither heats the disk nor causes it to spread, but it does have a profound effect on the expected distribution of metallicities among the disk stars. Bars in disks are believed to be major drivers of secular evolution through interactions with the outer disk and with the halo. Once the material that makes up galaxy disks is converted into stars, their overall angular momentum distribution cannot change by much, but that of the gas is generally far more liable to rearrangement, allowing rings and pseudo-bulges to form. While simulations are powerful tools from which we have learned a great deal, those of disks may suffer from collisional relaxation that requires some results to be interpreted with caution.

Texting is Not a Bane of ELT: A Reflection
Creators: name: Getu, Tesfamichael
Publisher: name: Ethiopian Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2022

description: Teaching writing in an undergraduate class at Mekelle University, I once instructed students to write a well-developed paragraph, and I came across a paragraph written with all kinds of unusual of abbreviations, punctuation, capitalization and spelling. Looking at the paragraph, at first, I was a bit irritated, but I decided to carry on reading. The incident, however, caused me to ponder and marked the inception of my concern about the effects of texting on students’ writing skill. Since then, I have been sharing ideas with my colleagues who have had similar experiences and expressed their beliefs that texting is negatively affecting students’ language learning in general and writing skills in particular. I have also heard some parents expressing worries that their children's writing skill has been decimated by text messaging. However, is texting really a bane or a boon to ELT? I began looking into this matter very closely (at least at a theoretical level) for I wanted to know whether it is really harming or supporting the development of students’ writing skill. Hence, this paper is a reflection on this endeavour. Recently, Ethiopian students have been immersing themselves in text messaging as they acquire and use mobile phones and become exposed to the Internet. Text messaging is the practice whereby users of mobile and other electronic devices exchange brief written messages via networks. The act of sending a text message is termed “texting”, and the sender is also called a “texter” (Ross, 2004). Texting involves the use of pictograms and logograms in addition to words. Words might be either shortened through the use of symbols or symbols whose names sound like a syllable of the word are used (Ross, 2004). Put simply, a text may consist of words or an alphanumeric combination. For example, texting “you” could be represented as “u”; “to be” as “2b”; and “laughing out loud” as “lol”. So with all these kinds of unusual features what would be the impact of texting on students’ writing skill?

description: We show how symmetry properties can be used to greatly increase the accuracy and efficiency in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) calculations of electronic systems. With the Hubbard model as an example, we study symmetry preservation in two aspects of ground-state AFQMC calculations, the Hubbard-Straonovich transformation and the form of the trial wave function. It is shown that significant improvement over state-of-the-art calculations can be achieved. In unconstrained calculations, the implementation of symmetry often leads to shorter convergence time and much smaller statistical errors, thereby a substantial reduction of the sign problem. Moreover, certain excited states become possible to calculate which are otherwise beyond reach. In calculations with constraints, the use of symmetry can reduce the systematic error from the constraint. It also allows release-constraint calculations, leading to essentially exact results in many cases. Detailed comparisons are made with exact diagonalization results. Accurate ground-state energies are then presented for larger system sizes in the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model.

description: Proposals for physics beyond the standard model often include new colored particles at or beyond the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking. Any new particle with a sufficient lifetime will bind with standard model gluons and quarks to form a spectrum of new hadrons. Here we focus on colored particles in the octet, decuplet, 27-plet, 28-plet and 35-plet representations of SU(3) color because these can form hadrons without valence quarks. In every case, lattice creation operators are constructed for all angular momentum, parity and charge conjugation quantum numbers. Computations with fully-dynamical lattice QCD configurations produce numerical results for mass splittings within this new hadron spectrum. A previous quenched lattice study explored the octet case for certain quantum number choices, and our findings provide a reassessment of those early results.

Nonlinear optics on the nanoscale: solid state and quantum applications
Creators: name: Dichtl, Paul Maria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Nonlinear optical processes in solid-state systems are typically weak but the strength of the nonlinear interactions can be significantly increased in nanophotonic structures providing a local enhancement of the optical fields. This thesis deals with three experiments in this thematic area. The Kerr nonlinearity of 2D Ruddlesden-Popper-phase (2D RPP) lead halide perovskite flakes is investigated by means of the Z-scan method, after which the flakes are combined with an array of Al nanoantennae to form a nonlinear metasurface. Both nonlinear absorption and refraction are strongly enhanced near the exciton ground state of the 2D RPP with peak values of beta_eff = -256 cm/MW and n_2 = +- 10^-13 m^2/W comparable to top values in the literature. The combined metasurface leads to a further enhancement of the Kerr nonlinearity attributed to the strong near-fields of the nanoantennae, however, with a complicated saturation behaviour analysed separately. Moreover, a partial hybridisation of the exciton and plasmon modes is found. Wavelength-sized cones etched into a GaN layer are studied for their improvement of frequency mixing efficiencies in the visible-NIR range compared to an unstructured GaN layer. As a preliminary result, the second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency is found to be increased by a factor of 10. In future samples with smaller cones, pumped at the magnetic dipole resonance, a larger efficiency increase is expected. Frequency mixing in a metasurface of Au nanoantennae is investigated with the aim of working towards sources of visible-NIR photon pairs with tailored spectral properties. Frequency scans to map out the joint spectral density are conducted, which will allow for testing the spectral properties of improved future antenna designs. The expected spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) count rates in the GaN and Au nanoantenna samples are estimated via the stimulated emission tomography (SET) technique.
Quantum spin ices and topological phases from dipolar-octupolar doublets on the pyrochlore lattice

description: We consider a class of d- and f-electron systems in which dipolar-octupolar Kramers doublets arise on the sites of the pyrochlore lattice. For such doublets, two components of the pseudospin transform like a magnetic dipole, while the other transforms like a component of the magnetic octupole tensor. Based on a symmetry analysis, we construct and study models of dipolar-octupolar doublets in itinerant and localized limits. In both limits, the resulting models are of surprisingly simple form. In the itinerant limit, we find topological insulating behavior. In the localized limit, the most general nearest-neighbor spin model is the XYZ model. We show that this XYZ model exhibits two distinct quantum spin ice (QSI) phases, that we dub dipolar QSI, and octupolar QSI. We conclude with a discussion of potential relevance to real material systems.

Adaptive Multicarrier Quadrature Division Modulation for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution

description: In a continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) system, the information is conveyed by coherent state carriers. The quantum continuous variables are sent through a quantum channel, where the presence of the eavesdropper adds a white Gaussian noise to the transmission. The amount of tolerable noise and loss is a crucial point in CVQKD, since it determines the overall performance of the protocol, including the secure key rates and transmission distances. In this work, we propose the adaptive multicarrier quadrature division (AMQD) modulation technique for CVQKD. The method granulates the Gaussian random input into Gaussian subcarrier continuous variables in the encoding phase, which are then decoded by a continuous unitary transformation. The subcarrier coherent variables formulate Gaussian sub-channels from the physical link with strongly diverse transmission capabilities, which leads to significantly improved transmission efficiency, higher tolerable loss, and excess noise. We also investigate a modulation-variance adaption technique within the AMQD scheme, which provides optimal capacity-achieving communication over the sub-channels in the presence of a Gaussian noise.

Confirmation Via the Continuum-Fitting Method that the Spin of the Black Hole in Cygnus X-1 is Extreme

description: In Gou et al. (2011), we reported that the black hole primary in the X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 is a near-extreme Kerr black hole with a spin parameter a*>0.95(3σ). We confirm this result while setting a new and more stringent limit: a*>0.983 at the 3σ(99.7%) level of confidence. The earlier work, which was based on an analysis of all three useful spectra that were then available, was possibly biased by the presence in these spectra of a relatively strong Compton power-law component: The fraction of the thermal seed photons scattered into the power law was f_s=23-31%, while the upper limit for reliable application of the continuum-fitting method is f_s<25%. We have subsequently obtained six additional spectra of Cygnus X-1 suitable for the measurement of spin. Five of these spectra are of high quality with f_s in the range 10% to 19%, a regime where the continuum-fitting method has been shown to deliver reliable results. Individually, the six spectra give lower limits on the spin parameter that range from a*>0.95 to a*>0.98, allowing us to conservatively conclude that the spin of the black hole is a*>0.983 (3σ).

description: We obtain analytical gravitational waveforms in the frequency-domain for precessing, quasi-circular compact binaries with small spins, applicable, for example, to binary neutron star inspirals. We begin by calculating an analytic solution to the precession equations, obtained by expanding in the dimensionless spin parameters and using multiple-scale analysis to separate timescales. We proceed by analytically computing the Fourier transform of time-domain waveform through the stationary phase approximation. We show that the latter is valid for systems with small spins. Finally, we show that these waveforms have a high overlap with numerical waveforms obtained through direct integration of the precession equations and discrete Fourier transformations. The resulting, analytic waveform family is ideal for detection and parameter estimation of gravitational waves emitted by inspiraling binary neutron stars with ground-based detectors.

Perceptions of English Segmental Phonemes by Ethiopian EFL Learners Speaking Amharic as a First Language
Creators: name: Gashaw, Anegagregn
Publisher: name: Ethiopian Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2022

description: This study investigated native Amharic speaking Ethiopian EFL learners’ detection and recognition of English segmental phonemes, which are foreign to their first language Amharic, and yet that are used distinctively and functionally in the target language input. The study targeted English vowels and consonants tentatively predicted as contrastive based on problem areas of English pronunciation for Amharic speaking learners. These are short vowels /æ, ʌ, ə, ɒ/; long vowels /i:, a:, ɔ:, u:, ɜ:/; diphthongs /eɪ, aɪ, ɔɪ, aʊ, əʊ, ɪa, eə, ʊə/; and consonants /, ð/. Sixty undergraduate students who speak Amharic as native language participated in this study by completing forced auditory tasks after listening to audio stimuli that presented target sounds in minimal pairs. The result showed that overall, English segmental phonemes that are foreign to the native language Amharic still exert severe perceptual difficulty for the learners even after more than twelve years of learning English. The findings also considered communication constraints that could stem from the learners’ difficulty to distinguish foreign English phonemes, and to make meaning out of them in spoken English. This was evident in the learners’ considerable failure to recognize the most familiar words in English when presented with English segmental phonemes. Findings of this study support particular attention and focus in EFL teaching on English pronunciation aspects which are foreign to the learners’ native language, the importance of balancing perceptual as well as productive skills, and the need for developing L1-based, and empirically informed pronunciation syllabus for Ethiopian learners rather than using generic and intuitively produced pronunciation training materials.

description: Additional file 7: Figure S5. A comparison of maximum likelihood trees inferred from different regions of the trypanosome maxicircle mitochondrial DNA. In general using more sequence contributes to higher bootstrap support for the inferred maximum likelihood topology. If individual genes are used, confidence for the deepest branches is reduced, and topological variances are observed. Collections of non-edited genes have a consistent topology but fail to resolve well within species. Use of the entire gene coding region (WCR), with or without pre-edited genes, provides better supported trees. If pre-edited genes alone are used, structure within species is well supported, but multispecies relationships are poorly resolved.

description: We study the high-temperature behavior of quantum-mechanical path integrals. Starting from the Feynman-Kac formula, we derive a new functional representation of the Wigner-Kirkwood perturbation expansion for quantum Boltzmann densities. As shown by its applications to different potentials, the presented expansion turns out to be quite efficient in generating analytic form of the higher-order expansion coefficients. To put some flesh on the bare bones we apply the expansion to obtain basic thermodynamic functions of the one-dimensional anharmonic oscillator. Further salient issues, such as generalization to the Bloch density matrix and comparison with the more customary world-line formulation are discussed.

description: We discuss the role of recombinations in the IGM, and the related concept of the clumping factor, during cosmic reionization. The clumping factor is, in general, a local quantity that depends on the local over-density and the scale below which the baryon density field can be assumed smooth. That scale, called the filtering scale, is itself depended on over-density and local thermal history. We present a method for building a self-consistent analytical model of inhomogeneous reionization assuming the linear growth rate of the density fluctuation, which accounts for these effects simultaneously. We show that taking into account the local clumping factor introduces significant corrections to the total recombination rate, comparing to the model with a globally uniform clumping factor.

description: Additional file 6: Figure S4. Correlation between sequence length, GC% and T% for six pre-edited maxicircle genes. Some pre-edited maxicircle genes exhibit transcript length variation with strong correlation between length and T% as well as an inverse correlation for GC%. The weak negative correlation for A% indicates that this is a strand specific phenomenon consistent with RNA editing, where uridines are inserted back into the transcript. Key: Crithidia, Leishmania (open circle), salivarian (red filled circle) and non-salivarian trypanosomes (black filled circle).
Dagu: Its Nature, Attributes and Reporting Praxis
Creators: name: Mohammed, Jemal
Publisher: name: Ethiopian Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2022

description: The Afar people are the largest pastoral society in East Africa living across three neighboring countries - Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti. They have a giant traditional news network called Dagu. In most parts of the world, it is the news that goes to the target audience through channels of mass media. In the case of the Afar society, it is the person who goes to the news because every adult Afar is culturally expected to serve as a traditional newsman. The principal purpose of this study was to investigate the nature, characteristics and reporting praxis of this traditional news network so as to tap into Dagu’s latent communication potential. The research follows a comparative analysis. To gather the necessary data, an in-depth interview was used. The analysis and interpretation of the data disclosed that Dagu, as opposed to mass media, is a highly interactive and multi-way communication network, which serves the Afar society equally. The findings of the study also revealed that the Afars have unflagging enthusiasm to obtain fresh information, and regardless of being a traditional newsman, they have remarkable journalistic skills. Every Afar is a moving news medium. The study thus maintains that Dagu has more similarity to journalistic practices than to models of mass communication flows.

Nonlinear forcing, response and damping of oscillating water columns
Creators: name: Bangun, Emma Patricia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis improves the physical understanding of a dynamically responding offshore OscillatingWater Column (OWC) of a fixed and cylindrical type. The study concerns the analytical models of the linear potential flows and the numerical simulations of the fully nonlinear viscous flows of OWCs undergoing different excitation mechanisms and conditions. Of particular interest in this research are the physical origin and the significance of nonlinearities in the forces acting on a water column. The vortex shedding at the lowermost end of an OWC has a marked influence on the forcing caused by wave excitation at the resonant and a higher frequency. On the other hand, the free-surface nonlinearity has a negligible effect on this force. Furthermore, an evaluation of the hydrodynamic and the air forces demonstrates the diminishing role of the vortex shedding as the amplitude of the response (or motion) of a water column increases. The vortex shedding and the nonlinear inertial forcing are responsible for any nonlinear characteristics of the internal water surface elevation within an OWC. The former causes the progressively decreasing response amplitude operator and progressively varying phase difference of the water elevation, while the latter provokes the response asymmetry. The hydrodynamic coefficients crucially depend on the amplitude of the water column motion, the mouth shape, and the dimensions of an OWC. When flow separation occurs, the added-mass coefficient progressively increases with the amplitude. It is consistent with the departures from linear radiation theory when considering the radiated wave elevation near an OWC with a sharp-edged mouth. Formation of the vortex that primarily contributes to the nonlinear damping coefficient most significantly reduces the response at the resonant frequency. This role of vortex formation is more pronounced under a high- than a low-frequency excitation. These insights and the dominance of the flow driven by the water column (in relative comparison to the wave flow) explain the applicability of the hydrodynamic coefficients evaluated from a forced oscillation test to predict a wave-induced response.

description: We study the long-time dynamics of complex-valued modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) solitons, which are recognized because they blow-up in finite time. We establish stability properties at the H^1 level of regularity, uniformly away from each blow-up point. These new properties are used to prove that mKdV breathers are H^1 stable, improving our previous result, where we only proved H^2 stability. The main new ingredient of the proof is the use of a Bäcklund transformation which links the behavior of breathers, complex-valued solitons and small real-valued solutions of the mKdV equation. We also prove that negative energy breathers are asymptotically stable. Since we do not use any method relying on the Inverse Scattering Transformation, our proof works even under rough perturbations, provided a corresponding local well-posedness theory is available.

description: Using a simple two-band model for Fe-based pnictides and the generalized Eilenberger equation, we present a microscopic derivation of a time-dependent equation for the amplitude of the spin density wave near the quantum critical point where it turns to zero. This equation describes the dynamics of the magnetic---$m$, as well as the superconducting order parameter---$Δ$. It is valid at low temperatures $T$ and small $m$ (${T, m \ll Δ}$) in a region of coexistence of both order parameters, $m$ and $Δ$. The boundary of this region is found in the space of the nesting parameter $\{μ_{0},μ_ϕ\}$ where $μ_{0}$ describes the relative position of the electron and the hole pockets on the energy scale, and $μ_ϕ$ accounts for the ellipticity of the electron pocket. At low $T$ the number of quasiparticles is small due to the presence of the energy gap $Δ$, and therefore the quasiparticles do not play a role in the relaxation of $m$. This circumstance allows one to derive the time-dependent equation for $m$ in contrast to the case of conventional superconductors for which the time-dependent Ginzburg--Landau equation can be derived near $T_{\text{c}}$ only in some special cases (high concentration of paramagnetic impurities. In the stationary case the derived equation is valid at arbitrary temperatures. We find a solution of the stationary equation which describes a domain wall in the magnetic structure. In the center of the domain wall the superconducting order parameter has a maximum, which means a local enhancement of superconductivity. Using the derived time-dependent equation for $m$, we investgate also the stability of a uniform commensurate SDW and obtain the values of $\{μ_{0}, μ_ϕ\}$ at which the first order transition into the state with ${m = 0}$ takes place or the transition to the state with an inhomogeneous SDW occurs.

Characterizing & modelling the bio-nano interface

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: The rise of nanotechnology has to led numerous developments in the fields of biotech- nology and medicine. The promise of nanoparticles delivering drugs in vivo and nano- materials peering into cells are highly sought after and currently investigated in research groups around the world. However, despite the potential of such technologies, much is still unknown about the interface between these materials and the biological world. This thesis aims to further our understanding of this interface in order to aid the design of future generations of materials with new and improved functionality. Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study how nanoporous surfaces can affect model cell membranes in close contact. This modelling showed that curvature can be induced in membranes by fine-tuning nanoporous surfaces leading to preferential local changes in membrane properties and preferential localization of pro- teins. This model was expanded to study in further detail the membrane binding and cur- vature sensing of a key curvature-active protein domain, the Epsin N-Terminal Homology (ENTH) domain. This protein was shown to be able to sense membrane curvature with- out its terminal H0 amphipathic helix both with and without the presence of its key lipid binding partner, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). In addition, another PIP2- binding, curvature-active protein, the AP180 N-Terminal Homology (ANTH) domain, was investigated with this modelling system in order to evaluate the curvature-sensitivity of the domain with three different terminal helix compositions. This domain was shown to have innate curvature sensitivity on neutral membranes. In the presence of PIP2 however, only the fully rigid helix structure allowed for curvature sensing of this protein. In addition to modelling approaches to understand the bio-nano interface, x-ray photo- electron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to characterize the surfaces of nanostrutured silicon surfaces in order to understand their surface chemistry for biological applications. Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were also studied in order to explore the nature of catalytic reactions occurring on their surface.

description: Scenario cards for use in the introductory training of researchers in public and patient involvement (PPI) in research.
 The cards include two types of scenario cards.
 Type A cards give types of research scenarios and are used to consider how and why PPI may be beneficial to the research. Type A scenarios have the option of giving students persona cards to consider different perspectives on PPI.
 Type B cards have the same research scenario but give different relationship situations between the researchers and PPI contributors. These cards are designed to help researchers consider the impact that their approach and planning can have on PPI relationships.

description: The purpose of this study is to provide the best conditions for finding a practice effect. We thus base our study on a practice procedure that produced an effect in the past (i.e., in Fazio et al., 1986), but try to amplify it by providing more practice (25 trials instead of 5). Moreover, for the EPT we are using an up-to-date procedure. Unlike in Study 1, in Study 2 we used words that were chosen in a pilot study based on the criteria indicated in Fazio et al., 1986 Experiment 3. Namely, words that were evaluated more slowly yet produced very high consensus rates.

INVESTIGATING THE HOST�PARASITE INTERACTION: INTRASPECIFIC DIFFERENCES IN A GOAT MODEL

description: Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) infect small ruminants throughout the world and are an important cause of disease and production loss. Our research focused on the nematode?host interactions in the goat and the work was developed through different approaches. In particular we studied the effects of GIN infection on milk yield and quality; the trends of FEC under natural and experimental infection comparing the egg emission between a local goat breed (Nera di Verzasca) and a more selected one (Alpine); the levels of parasite-specific circulating antibodies to investigate if the differing susceptibilities to nematode infection found in the two goat breeds were due to differences in the humoral immune response. The studies showed that the milk production in goats was affected by the parasite burden and that this effect could be stronger in the first lactation and decreased in the following lactations. This resilience was also found to be different among goat breeds, with the local breed showing fewer effects on production than the more selected breeds. Testing the effect of different classes of infection on milk yield and quality, our study showed a high significance of the interaction of the class of infection with breed and days in milk, giving evidence that high levels of GIN infection can lead to production losses and that the level of EPG necessary to cause the loss in production may be different among breeds. Comparing the EPG emission under natural infection for a whole year between goats of Verzasca and goats of Alpine breed reared together, we found resistance to nematodes in the Nera di Verzasca goats. This breed confirmed its resistance also under experimental infection, after a single challenge with mixed GIN infective larvae. Finally, investigating the specific antibody response against Teladorsagia circumcincta L3, our research confirmed the role of IgE in the protection against gastrointestinal nematodes in goats.
