description: In this work we have constructed the n=4 extended local conformal time supersymmetry for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological models. This is based on the superfield construction of the action, which is invariant under wordline local n=4 supersymmetry with $SU(2)_{local} \otimes SU(2)_{global}$ internal symmetry. It is shown that the supersymmetric action has the form of the localized (or superconformal) version of the action for n=4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics. This superfield procedure provides a well defined scheme for including supermatter.

description: The deployment of advanced deep learning models for medical image segmentation is often constrained by the requirement for extensively annotated datasets. Weakly-supervised learning, which allows less precise labels, has become a promising solution to this challenge. Building on this approach, we propose QMaxViT-Unet+, a novel framework for scribble-supervised medical image segmentation. This framework is built on the U-Net architecture, with the encoder and decoder replaced by Multi-Axis Vision Transformer (MaxViT) blocks. These blocks enhance the model's ability to learn local and global features efficiently. Additionally, our approach integrates a query-based Transformer decoder to refine features and an edge enhancement module to compensate for the limited boundary information in the scribble label. We evaluate the proposed QMaxViT-Unet+ on four public datasets focused on cardiac structures, colorectal polyps, and breast cancer: ACDC, MS-CMRSeg, SUN-SEG, and BUSI. Evaluation metrics include the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and the 95th percentile of Hausdorff distance (HD95). Experimental results show that QMaxViT-Unet+ achieves 89.1\% DSC and 1.316mm HD95 on ACDC, 88.4\% DSC and 2.226mm HD95 on MS-CMRSeg, 71.4\% DSC and 4.996mm HD95 on SUN-SEG, and 69.4\% DSC and 50.122mm HD95 on BUSI. These results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches in terms of accuracy, robustness, and efficiency while remaining competitive with fully-supervised learning approaches. This makes it ideal for medical image analysis, where high-quality annotations are often scarce and require significant effort and expense.

description: Jacobi-type algorithms for simultaneous approximate diagonalization of real (or complex) symmetric tensors have been widely used in independent component analysis (ICA) because of their good performance. One natural way of choosing the index pairs in Jacobi-type algorithms is the classical cyclic ordering, while the other way is based on the Riemannian gradient in each iteration. In this paper, we mainly review in an accessible manner our recent results in a series of papers about weak and global convergence of these Jacobi-type algorithms. These results are mainly based on the Lojasiewicz gradient inequality.

description: We analyse variations of carbon emissions in the European cement industry from 1990 to 2011, at the European level (EU 27), and at the national level for six major producers (Germany, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy and Poland). We apply a Log-Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method, crossing data from three databases: the Getting the Numbers Right (GNR) database developed by the Cement Sustainability Initiative, the European Union Transaction Log (EUTL), and the Eurostat International Trade database. Our decomposition method allows disentangling seven channels of emissions change: activity, clinker trade, clinker share, alternative fuels, thermal and electric energy efficiency, and electricity decarbonisation. We find that, apart from a slow trend of emissions reductions coming from technological improvements (first from a decrease in the clinker share, then from an increase in alternative fuels), most of the emissions changes can be attributed to the activity effect. Using counterfactual scenarios, we estimate that the introduction of the EU ETS brought small but positive technological abatement (2.0% ± 1.1% between 2005 and 2011). Moreover, we find that the European cement industry have ained 3.5 billion euros of “overallocation profits”, mostly due to the slowdown of production. Based on these findings, we advocate for output-based allocations, based on a stringent hybrid clinker and cement benchmarking.
title: BI 6727 and gemcitabine combination therapy in pancreatic cancer
Creators: name: Jones, OP
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: Introduction: Though adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival following surgery, pancreatic cancer carries a poor prognosis. Alternatives are required to the current drug regimens consisting of S-phase dependent drugs such as gemcitabine. PLK1 is a passenger protein involved in G2/M phases which presents a novel target to inhibit in combination with current therapies, which may help overcome inate and acquired resistance. Aim: To evaluate the potential role of a novel PLK1 inhibitor, BI 6727 in pancreatic cancer – both as monotherapy and in combination with gemcitabine in vitro. Methods: The IC50 concentrations of both drugs were established in Suit-2, BxPC-3, Panc-1 and MiaPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cell lines and isobolar analyses undertaken with a variety of combination therapies. Cell cycle analyses were performed with Flow Activated Cell Sorting, with apoptosis and necrosis quantified on the basis of phosphatidylserine cell surface exposure, propidium iodide staining and cleavage of caspase-3. Results: IC50 ranges for BI 6727 and gemcitabine were 53-77nM and 11-34nM respectively across four pancreatic cell lines. Flow cytometry of MiaPaCa-2 cells demonstrated G2 arrest with BI 6727 and S-phase accumulation with gemcitabine monotherapy. Isobolar analyses showed that when added together the combination of drugs was additive, but BI 6727 pretreatment followed by combination was synergistic. Western blotting for cleaved caspase-3 showed evidence of apoptosis with gemcitabine monotherapy but none with BI 6727 treatment. Although membrane inversion was seen with synergistic drug combinations there was no evidence of cleaved-caspase-3, suggesting a modified form of apoptosis. Conclusion: BI 6727 is effective against a variety of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. Synergy is demonstrated in MiaPaCa-2 cells when BI 6727 is administered prior to combination therapy with gemcitabine, though mode of cell death does not appear to be caspase-dependent. This supports the concept that PLK1 inhibition can overcome gemcitabine resistance in some cells by allowing resistant cells to initiate gemcitabine induced apoptosis, although this is dependent on drug phasing and the full apoptotic pathway may not be achieved.

We find the mass of the di-Omega to be about 45 MeV lower than the Omega-Omega threshold. The effect of channel coupling due to the tensor force has been calculated and found to be small in this case. We have also studied the effect of other pseudoscalar meson exchanges and sensitivity to the short-range cutoff radius, r_0, for the meson exchanges.

description: Memory is an important aspect of intelligence and plays a role in many deep reinforcement learning models. However, little progress has been made in understanding when specific memory systems help more than others and how well they generalize. The field also has yet to see a prevalent consistent and rigorous approach for evaluating agent performance on holdout data. In this paper, we aim to develop a comprehensive methodology to test different kinds of memory in an agent and assess how well the agent can apply what it learns in training to a holdout set that differs from the training set along dimensions that we suggest are relevant for evaluating memory-specific generalization. To that end, we first construct a diverse set of memory tasks that allow us to evaluate test-time generalization across multiple dimensions. Second, we develop and perform multiple ablations on an agent architecture that combines multiple memory systems, observe its baseline models, and investigate its performance against the task suite.

title: Improving the perioperative management of resectable colorectal liver metastases
Creators: name: Dunne, D
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: Background Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are more prevalent with advancing age. Worldwide trends towards longer life expectancy result in a more prevalent disease in an increasingly aged co-morbid population. Utilising enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and better preoperative assessment of patients using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) may in part mitigate the challenges of dealing with a more elderly co-morbid population. However significant challenges remain. Prehabilitation seeks to prevent injury, or minimise its impact before it occurs. This thesis describes the development and validation of a prehabilitation program in patients prior to hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases. Methodology An exercise program was developed within a laboratory and validated in 12 health volunteers. This program was then tested in a randomized clinical trial of patients prior to hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases. The measurement of liver function and prediction of post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a challenge. Further work measuring liver function is needed, and a component of this thesis demonstrated the application of liver slicing as a model of human hepatic functioning. Results The part of this thesis demonstrates that a 4 week exercise program can deliver meaningful (1.5 ml.kg-1.min-1) improvements in the Oxygen uptake (Vo2 uptake ml.kg-1.min-1) at the anaerobic threshold (AT). Within the main component of this thesis (the randomized trial) 38 patients were randomized (20 prehabilitation, 18 standard care). 35 (25 male, 10 female) completed both preoperative assessments and were analysed. There were no differences in baseline characteristics. Prehabilitation led to improvements in the preoperative Vo2 uptake (Oxygen uptake ml.kg-1.min-1) at both anaerobic threshold (AT) (+1.5 ml.kg-1.min-1, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.2 - 2.9 ml.kg-1.min-1) and peak exercise (+2.0 ml.kg-1.min-1, 95% CI 0 – 4.0 ml.kg-1.min-1). The O2 pulse (Oxygen uptake per heart beat) at the anaerobic threshold improved (+0.8 ml.beat-1, 95% CI 0 - 1.9 ml.beat-1) and a higher peak work rate (+13 watts, 95% CI 4 – 22 Watts) was achieved. This was associated with improved preoperative QoL, with overall SF-36 increasing by 11 (95% CI 1:21) (p<0.05) and overall SF-36 mental health by 11 (95% CI 1:21)(p<0.05). Conclusions Prehabilitation can deliver improvements in CPET scores, and QoL. This may impact on perioperative outcome.

description: We investigate the evolution of holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) and holographic complexity (HC) under a thermal quench in Einstein-Maxwell-Axion theory (EMA), which is dual to a field theory with momentum relaxation on the boundary. A strip-shaped boundary geometry is utilized to calculate HEE and HC via `entropy=surface' and `complexity=volume' conjecture, respectively. By fixing other parameters we claim that either large enough black hole charge or width of the strip will introduce swallow-tail behaviors in HEE and multi-values in HC due to the discontinuity of the minimum Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi (HRT) surface. Meanwhile, we explore the effects of momentum relaxation on the evolution of HEE and HC. The results present that the momentum relaxation will suppress the discontinuity to occur as it increases. For large enough momentum relaxation the continuity of HEE and HC will be recovered.

description: The effects of water and temperature on the triboelectrification of granular materials have been reported by numerous authors, but have not been studied robustly in the context of volcanic plumes. Here, we present the results of a set of experiments designed to elucidate how environmental conditions modulate the triboelectric characteristics of volcanic ash. We find that that small amounts of water can reduce the charge collected by micron-sized ash grains by up to an order of magnitude. Increasing temperature at a constant relative humidity also appears to decrease the amount of charge gained by particles. Analysis of our data shows that if particles undergo low-energy, low-frequency collisions in humid environments under long timescales, charge dissipation dominates over charge accumulation. Thus, our work suggests that triboelectric charging may be an inefficient electrification mechanism outside of the gas-thrust region where collision rates are high and residence times are low.

Specifically, we investigate the following question: given $d,k\in \mathbb{N}$, what is the maximum size of a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ that determines at most $k$ distinct taxicab distances, and can all such optimal arrangements be classified? We completely resolve the question in dimension $d=2$, as well as the $k=1$ case in dimension $d=3$, and we also provide a full resolution in the general case under an additional hypothesis.

description: We have revisited the electronic structure of infinite-layer RNiO$_2$ (R= La, Nd) in light of the recent discovery of superconductivity in Sr-doped NdNiO$_2$. From a comparison to their cuprate counterpart CaCuO$_2$, we derive essential facts related to their electronic structures, in particular the values for various hopping parameters and energy splittings, and the influence of the spacer cation. From this detailed comparison, we comment on expectations in regards to superconductivity. In particular, both materials exhibit a large ratio of longer-range hopping to near-neighbor hopping which should be conducive for superconductivity.

title: Development of a Patient Reported Outcome Measure Assessing Lower Limb Joint Function
Creators: name: Patel, T
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: Introduction and Aims" Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are a way to measure health-related quality of life. It is important that robust PROMs are developed so that disease states can be fully standardized and compared between patients. Within osteoarthritis, 4 PROMs are used commonly. Several qualitative limitations were identified that limit the clinical suitability of the PROM. We aim to begin the process of developing a new PROM to assess lower limb joint function using osteoarthritis as the model. Methods: A mixed methods approach was used using semi-structured qualitative interviews (for patient participants) and the first round of a Delphi analysis (for expert participants) to generate factors that affect lower limb joint function. Only patient participants were used to generate activity or participation restrictions. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. These concepts were then converted into items to be used in the novel PROM. Results: We have created a bank of items that holistically assess lower limb joint function. Conclusion This study has generated novel and potentially important contributions to the field of orthopaedic surgery. This has formed the initial stage of developing a PROM. Future research should aim to continue the development and validation process to create a final version that is suitable for clinical practice.

description: Motivated by recent works on atom-cavity realizations of fast scramblers, and on Cooper pairing in non-Fermi liquids, we study a family of solvable variants of the ($q=4$) Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model in which the rank and eigenvalue distribution of the coupling matrix $J_{ij,kl}$ are tuneable. When the rank is proportional to the number of fermions, the low temperature behavior is sensitive to the eigenvalue distribution. We obtain a complete classification of the possible non-Fermi liquid quantum phases. These include two previously studied phases whose fermion scaling dimension depends continuously on the rank; we show that they are maximally chaotic, but necessitate {an extensively degenerate or negative semidefinite coupling matrix}. More generic distributions give rise to "almost Fermi liquids" with a scaling dimension $Δ= 1/2$, but which differ from a genuine Fermi-liquid in quasi-particle decay rate, quantum Lyapunov exponent and/or specific heat.

description: It is shown that the large $N$ limit of SU(N) YM in $curved$ $m$-dim backgrounds can be subsumed by a higher $m+n$ dimensional gravitational theory which can be identified to an $m$-dim generally invariant gauge theory of diffs $N$, where $N$ is an $n$-dim internal space (Cho, Sho, Park, Yoon). Based on these findings, a very plausible geometrical interpretation of the $AdS/CFT$ correspondence could be given. Conformally invariant sigma models in $D=2n$ dimensions with target non-compact SO(2n,1) groups are reviewed. Despite the non-compact nature of the SO(2n,1), the classical action and Hamiltonian are positive definite. Instanton field configurations are found to correspond geometrically to conformal ``stereographic'' mappings of $R^{2n}$ into the Euclidean signature $AdS_{2n}$ spaces. The relation between Self Dual branes and Chern-Simons branes, High Dimensional Knots, follows. A detailed discussion on $W_\infty $ symmetry is given and we outline the Vasiliev procedure to construct an action involving higher spin massless fields in $AdS_4$. This $AdS_4$ spacetime higher spin theory should have a one-to-one correspondence to noncritical $W_\infty$ strings propagating on $AdS_4 \times S^7$.

description: The Hamiltonian reduction of classical SU(2) Yang-Mills field theory to the equivalent unconstrained theory of gauge invariant local dynamical variables is generalized to the case of nonvanishing theta angle. It is shown that for any theta angle the elimination of the pure gauge degrees of freedom leads to a corresponding unconstrained nonlocal theory of self-interacting second rank symmetric tensor fields, and that the obtained classical unconstrained gluodynamics with different theta angles are canonically equivalent as on the original constrained level.

description: Deep convolutional networks are widely used in video action recognition. 3D convolutions are one prominent approach to deal with the additional time dimension. While 3D convolutions typically lead to higher accuracies, the inner workings of the trained models are more difficult to interpret. We focus on creating human-understandable visual explanations that represent the hierarchical parts of spatio-temporal networks. We introduce Class Feature Pyramids, a method that traverses the entire network structure and incrementally discovers kernels at different network depths that are informative for a specific class. Our method does not depend on the network's architecture or the type of 3D convolutions, supporting grouped and depth-wise convolutions, convolutions in fibers, and convolutions in branches. We demonstrate the method on six state-of-the-art 3D convolution neural networks (CNNs) on three action recognition (Kinetics-400, UCF-101, and HMDB-51) and two egocentric action recognition datasets (EPIC-Kitchens and EGTEA Gaze+).

description: In my study I wish to investigate the fact that how the pork consumption of Hungary changed during the last years. This study focuses on consumer’s attitudes about (pork) meat, what do they think about the healthness of the different meat type, what are the strengths and weaknesses of pork meat, what are the main features of good quality pork meat, what are the major pork purchase influencing factors and what are the favourite food of the respondents from pork meat etc. Then I analyze the tendency of these values (cross tabs, bar/pie charts, means, Chi-square), where can be found significant differences, and make a cluster analysis to identify the pork consumers in Hungary.

description: The adaptive processing of graph data is a long-standing research topic which has been lately consolidated as a theme of major interest in the deep learning community. The snap increase in the amount and breadth of related research has come at the price of little systematization of knowledge and attention to earlier literature. This work is designed as a tutorial introduction to the field of deep learning for graphs. It favours a consistent and progressive introduction of the main concepts and architectural aspects over an exposition of the most recent literature, for which the reader is referred to available surveys. The paper takes a top-down view to the problem, introducing a generalized formulation of graph representation learning based on a local and iterative approach to structured information processing. It introduces the basic building blocks that can be combined to design novel and effective neural models for graphs. The methodological exposition is complemented by a discussion of interesting research challenges and applications in the field.

description: Agriculture is one of the major branches of the economy in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa. It employs around 70% of the population and its contribution to the national GDP ranges around 45% (2012). In spite of the fact that most of the area is arable the majority of food, the Nigerian population consumes, comes from imports. The paper attempts to provide in insight to the reasons, why Nigeria could still not achievew self sufficiency from major food crops and livestock. Beyond the rapid growth of the population, one of the major reasons is the rich oil and natural gas reserves, the exploitation and export of which has been providing with the country with “easy cash” for the recent few decades. Another reason is that the agricultural holdings are small and scattered, and farming is carried out with simple tools and techniques. Modern and large-scale farms are not common. The political leadership and economic decision makers of the country already recognized the necessity of the development of the food and agricultural sector, which – contrary to the oil industry – would exercise a deep and positive impact on the rural society as well. Nigerian agriculture is being transformed towards commercialization at small, medium and large-scale enterprise levels.

description: Simulating drug binding and unbinding is a challenge, as the rugged energy landscapes that separate bound and unbound states require extensive sampling that consumes significant computational resources. Here, we describe the use of interactive molecular dynamics in virtual reality (iMD-VR) as an accurate low-cost strategy for flexible protein-ligand docking. We outline an experimental protocol which enables expert iMD-VR users to guide ligands into and out of the binding pockets of trypsin, neuraminidase, and HIV-1 protease, and recreate their respective crystallographic protein-ligand binding poses within 5 - 10 minutes. Following a brief training phase, our studies shown that iMD-VR novices were able to generate unbinding and rebinding pathways on similar timescales as iMD-VR experts, with the majority able to recover binding poses within 2.15 Angstrom RMSD of the crystallographic binding pose. These results indicate that iMD-VR affords sufficient control for users to carry out the detailed atomic manipulations required to dock flexible ligands into dynamic enzyme active sites and recover crystallographic poses, offering an interesting new approach for simulating drug docking and generating binding hypotheses.

Human Rationality, Environmental Challenges and Evolutionary Game Theory

description: In recent years, game theory is more often applied to analyse several sustainable development issues such as climate change and biological diversity, but the explanations generally remain within a non-cooperative setting. In this paper, after reviewing important studies in this field, I will show that these methods and the assumptions upon which these explanations rest lack both descriptive accuracy and analytical power. I also argue that the problem may be better investigated within a framework of the evolutionary game theory that focuses more on the dynamics of strategy change influenced by the effect of the frequency of various competing strategies. Building on this approach, the paper demonstrates that evolutionary games can better reflect the complexity of sustainable development issues. It presents models of human – nature and human – human conflicts represented by two-player and multi-player games (with a very large population of competitors). The benefit in these games played several times (continuously) will be the ability of the human race to survive. Finally, the paper attempts to identify and classify the main problems of sustainable development on which the game theory could be applied and demonstrates that this powerful analytical tool has many further possibilities for analysing global ecological issues.
Relativistic mean-field approximation with density-dependent screening meson masses in nuclear matter

description: The Debye screening masses of the $σ$, $ω$ and neutral $ρ$ mesons and the photon are calculated in the relativistic mean-field approximation. As the density of the nucleon increases, all the screening masses of mesons increase. It shows a different result with Brown-Rho scaling, which implies a reduction in the mass of all the mesons in the nuclear matter except the pion. Replacing the masses of the mesons with their corresponding screening masses in Walecka-1 model, five saturation properties of the nuclear matter are fixed reasonably, and then a density-dependent relativistic mean-field model is proposed without introducing the non-linear self-coupling terms of mesons.

title: The neurological manifestations of Zika and chikungunya viruses
Creators: name: Mehta, RR
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2018

description: During 2015-16 Brazil experienced the largest epidemic of Zika virus ever reported. This arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) has been linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome (a disorder of the peripheral nervous system) in adults but other neurological associations are uncertain. I designed and performed a retrospective clinical study in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, investigating patients presenting with an acute neurological disorder and suspected recent Zika virus infection. I found a wider spectrum of neurological disease associated with Zika than reported previously, including that of the central nervous system. This has implications for clinical diagnostic pathways and public health measures. The study also highlighted some of the diagnostic challenges associated with arbovirus-associated neurological disease, and showed an unexpected role of chikungunya virus, another arbovirus that has spread rapidly through the Americas since 2013 and continues to affect millions in explosive outbreaks throughout the tropics. This led me to perform a systematic review of neurological disease associated with chikungunya virus; I summarise all described neurological manifestations, highlighting the wide spectrum of disease in adults and children, its importance in vertical transmission in neonates, comparison with Zika and dengue viruses and recent insights into disease mechanisms. The review will be a useful reference tool for clinicians, researchers and public health officials involved in managing complications of this emerging pathogen. Looking forward, this thesis also discusses the important unanswered questions relating to arbovirus-associated neurological disease, including establishing causality, defining the burden of disease and considerations for vaccines, and how we might approach these challenges.
Degeneracy analysis for a super cell of a photonic crystal and its application to the creation of band gaps

description: A method is introduced to analyze the degeneracy properties of the band structure of a photonic crystal making use of the super cells. The band structure associated with a super cell of a photonic crystal has degeneracies at the edge of the Brillouin zone if the photonic crystal has some kind of point group symmetry. Both E-polarization and H-polarization cases have the same degeneracies for a 2-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal. Two theorems are given and proved. These degeneracies can be lifted to create photonic band gaps by changing the transform matrix between the super cell and the smallest unit cell. The existence of the photonic band gaps for many known 2D photonic crystals is explained through the degeneracy analysis.

description: Binary neutron star mergers have been recently confirmed to be the progenitors of the optical transients kilonovae (KNe). KNe are powered by the radioactive decay of neutron-rich elements (r-process elements) which are believed to be the product of disruption of neutron stars during their merger. KNe exhibit interesting parallels with type Ia supernovae (SNe), whose light curves show specific correlations which allow them to be used as standardizable candles. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of the KN light curves exhibiting similar correlations. While a satisfactory answer to this question can only be provided by future KN observations, employing theoretical models we explore whether there is any ground for harboring such expectations. Using semi-analytic models of KN light curves in conjunction with results from numerical relativity simulations of binary neutron star mergers, we obtain the maximum bolometric luminosity ($L_{\mathrm{Bol}}^{\mathrm{max}}$) and decline in luminosity ($ΔL_{\mathrm{Bol}}$) for a simulated population of mergers. We find that theoretical light curves of KNe show remarkable correlations despite the complex physics governing their behavior. This presents a possibility of future observations to uncover such correlations in the observed light curves, eventually allowing observers to standardize these light curves and to use them for local distance measurements.

The New Cosmology

description: Over the past three years we have determined the basic features of our Universe. It is spatially flat; accelerating; comprised of 1/3 a new form of matter, 2/3 a new form of energy, with some ordinary matter and a dash of massive neutrinos; and it apparently began from a great burst of expansion (inflation) during which quantum noise was stretched to astrophysical size seeding cosmic structure. This ``New Cosmology'' greatly extends the highly successful hot big-bang model. Now we have to make sense of it. What is the dark matter particle? What is the nature of the dark energy? Why this mixture? How did the matter -- antimatter asymmetry arise? What is the underlying cause of inflation (if it indeed occurred)?
