description: Η παρούσα βιβλιογραφική επισκόπηση εξετάζει τη χρήση των τεχνολογιών πληροφορικής και επικοινωνιών στην εκπαίδευση παιδιών προσχολικής ηλικίας σε δομές ημερήσιας αγωγής και φροντίδας. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, ο σκοπός της βιβλιογραφικής επισκόπησης είναι να μελετήσει (α) τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά διεθνών ερευνών (με έμφαση στην ερευνητική μεθοδολογία και τα ερευνητικά εργαλεία που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν), (β) τη σύνδεση ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών με εκπαιδευτικές δραστηριότητες δημιουργικής απασχόληση των παιδιών της έρευνας και (γ) την αξιοποίηση ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών στη καθημερινή ρουτίνας μιας δομής ημερήσιας εκπαίδευσης και φροντίδας παιδιών προσχολικής αγωγής. Η μελέτη στηρίχθηκε σε 36 διεθνείς έρευνες επιλεγμένες ακολουθώντας την μεθοδολογία PRISΜΑ. Ο αριθμός αυτός είναι προφανώς μακρά πολύ μικρότερος σε σύγκριση με το πλήθος των ερευνών που πραγματοποιούνται σε μεγαλύτερες σχολικές βαθμίδες που αποτελεί ένδειξη ότι το πεδίο αυτό δεν έχει ακόμη μελετηθεί ενδελεχώς. Η μελέτη της βιβλιογραφίας καταγράφει τη θετική επίδραση της τεχνολογίας στον εγραμματισμό και τα μαθηματικά στην προσχολική εκπαίδευση, καθώς και στην ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων πρόωρου ψηφιακού εγγραματισμού, μέσω διαφόρων δημιουργικών δραστηριοτήτων με τη χρήση της τεχνολογίας όπως οι ψηφιακές ιστορίες, η αλληλεπίδραση με κοινωνικό ρομπότ, η δημιουργία avatars και η εξάσκηση προγραμματισμού μέσω λογισμικών με περιβάλλοντα προγραμματισμού. Επιπλέον, αναδεικνύει ότι στη βιβλιογραφία δίνεται έμφαση στην αξιοποίηση ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών για την υποστήριξη δημιουργικών δραστηριοτήτων που εξυπηρετούσαν τον γνωστικό τομέα ανάπτυξης των μικρών παιδιών παρά τον συναισθηματικό. Γεγονός που θα μπορούσε να αποτελέσει νέο ερευνητικό τοπίο για μελλοντικές έρευνες από παιδαγωγούς και από εταιρείες που αναπτύσσουν ψηφιακές τεχνολογίες για την προσχολική εκπαίδευση.
Advanced laboratory studies to explore the axial cyclic behaviour of driven piles
Creators: name: Aghakouchak, Amin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Importance of addressing cyclic behaviour when designing piled foundations has been emphasised in recent years. Instrumented full scale field and model pile tests have revealed key features of pile’s axial cyclic response in recent years. Along with those, laboratory tests may be conducted to provide site specific cyclic soil characteristics, but questions arise concerning how to: (i) take into account the pile installation process and (ii) apply the results to assess pile capacity and deformation responses under cyclic loads. This thesis describes an investigation into the cyclic behaviour of Dunkerque and NE34 Fontainebleau sands, performed to support and help analyse field-scale and model pile cyclic loading tests on the same soils. Series of triaxial and HCA cyclic and static tests were performed, following testing schemes developed that reflect the conditions applying adjacent to the pile shafts. Assessments were made of how the cyclic variations of stresses imposed during installation and the period allowed for the sands to creep following such ‘installation’ effects, affect the response to subsequent cycling. Constant-volume cyclic tests involving up to 4500 cycles were imposed from alternative sets of initial conditions that revealed the relationships between the cyclic amplitude, the changes in effective stress and number of cycles as well as the permanent strain accumulation and cyclic stiffness characteristics. Monotonic compression and extension tests were also performed for both sands to help frame their strength, stiffness and critical state properties. Finally, methods are introduced to compare the laboratory results with field and model pile tests.

description: Shannon quantum information entropies $S_{x,k}$, Fisher informations $I_{x,k}$, Onicescu energies $O_{x,k}$ and statistical complexities $e^{S_{x,k}}O_{x,k}$ are calculated both in the position (subscript $x$) and momentum ($k$) representations for the Robin quantum well characterized by the extrapolation lengths $Λ_-$ and $Λ_+$ at the two confining surfaces. The analysis concentrates on finding and explaining the most characteristic features of these quantum information measures in the whole range of variation of the Robin distance $Λ$ for the symmetric, $Λ_-=Λ_+=Λ$, and antisymmetric, $Λ_-=-Λ_+=Λ$, geometries. Analytic results obtained in the limiting cases of the extremely large and very small magnitudes of the extrapolation parameter are corroborated by the exact numerical computations that are extended to the arbitrary length $Λ$. It is confirmed, in particular, that the entropic uncertainty relation $S_{x_n}+S_{k_n}\geq1+\lnπ$ and general inequality $e^SO\geq1$, which is valid both in the position and momentum spaces, hold true at any Robin distance and for every quantum state $n$. For either configuration, there is a range of the extrapolation lengths where the rule $S_{x_{n+1}}(Λ)+S_{k_{n+1}}(Λ)\geq S_{x_n}(Λ)+S_{k_n}(Λ)$ that is correct for the Neumann ($Λ=\infty$) or Dirichlet ($Λ=0$) boundary conditions, is violated. Other analytic and numerical results for all measures are discussed too and their physical meaning is highlighted.

Impact of Dubai metro on property values
Creators: name: Mohammad, Sara Ishaq
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Despite the large number of case studies estimating the impact of railways on property values, there is as yet no research conducted specifically for the Dubai Metro. This study applies the existing empirical methods, corrected for sources of bias, to test for the effect of the Dubai Metro on the values of residential and retail properties. The results will also be of interest to neighbouring cities developing their first railways. The existing empirical work reveals a large variation in estimates for the effect of railways on property values. This thesis provides a comprehensive meta-analysis examining the sources of variation and relating these findings to the estimates for the Dubai Metro. As an addition to the existing literature, this study examines the effect on sale and rent values using repeated cross-sectional and pseudo panel data, and makes a case for the preferred data structure. Besides applying the known measures of accessibility to a metro, this research represents the first attempt to test for the effect of the change in the generalized cost of travel (GC) due to the operations of the metro. The results from the preferred models indicate negative, insignificant and positive impacts of the metro on the sale value of dwellings located at different distances. The metro also enhances the rent value of dwellings and the sale value of retail properties. The study also finds an increase in the value of dwellings due to a decrease in the GC. The results suggest that while a reduction in the GC of public transport boosts the sale value of retail properties, values are higher in areas with higher private and public transport trip rates. The positive effect of the metro implies that a value capture mechanism can be explored, provided the related policy implications are understood.

Excitation of Activity in Galaxies by Minor Mergers

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Mergers between gas--rich disks and less--massive dwarf galaxies are studied using numerical simulation. As the orbit of a satellite decays through dynamical friction, the primary disk develops large-amplitude spirals in response to its tidal forcing. While these features arise in both the stars and the gas in the disk, the non--axisymmetric structures in the gas differ slightly from those in the stars. In particular, as a consequence of the formation of strong shocks in the gas and the effects of radiative cooling, the gas response tends to lead the stellar response, enabling the stars to strongly torque the gas. These torques deprive the gas of its angular momentum, forcing a significant fraction of it into the inner regions of the disk. The radial inflows induced by these mergers accumulate large quantities of interstellar gas in the nuclear regions of the host disks. In some cases, nearly half of all the gas initially distributed throughout the disk winds up in a dense ``cloud'' several hundred parsecs in extent. The models reported here do not include star formation and, so, we cannot determine the ultimate fate of the gas. Nevertheless, given the high densities in the nuclear gas, it is plausible to identify these concentrations of dense gas in the remnants with those accompanying intense starbursts in some active galaxies. Therefore, the calculations here provide a framework for interpreting the origin of nuclear activity in otherwise quiescent disk galaxies. To the extent that galaxy formation is a chaotic process in which large structures are built up by the accretion of smaller fragments, our models may also be relevant to starbursts and the onset of nuclear activity in proto--galaxies at high redshifts.

description: The flux density from undetected sources in the observing beam of a telescope produces source confusion noise in the resulting maps of the sky, and thus limits sensitivity. In a recent paper we discussed this effect in the millimetre/submillimetre waveband, using a simple model of galaxy evolution that could account for the gravitationally lensed images of distant dusty galaxies newly discovered in the fields of clusters of galaxies. New models explain all the available mm, submm and far-infrared data. The associated predictions of source confusion noise are presented here. The new and old estimates agree to within a factor of two on angular scales between about 0.3 and 50 arcmin, and are most similar on angular scales of about 1 arcmin. The new estimates are greater/less than the old ones on larger/smaller angular scales.

Forward osmosis for seawater desalination Membrane development and process engineering
Creators: name: Kochanov, Ruslan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Although industrial osmotic processes are often referred to as ‘novel’, the possibility for osmotic power generation has been suggested as early as the 1970s. Today forward osmosis is attracting significant interest and this interest has resulted in intensive research. Forward osmosis has been suggested as viable separation process, with numerous potential applications – from osmotic drug delivery and concentration of liquid foods to water purification and re-use in space. Particularly interesting is the possibility of seawater desalination by forward osmosis, as the process is claimed to require little or no pre-treatment of the feed water, due to minor membrane fouling. This alone is a significant advantage over reverse osmosis. Within the oil and gas sector, research conducted in the last couple of years shows that low salinity waterflooding can result in enhanced oil recovery, and therefore the industry is searching for new possibilities for off-shore based production of low salinity water. Due to the fact that forward osmosis operates at atmospheric pressure and requires no pressure vessels, the process can be utilized for seawater desalination where low overall equipment weight is required – off-shore oil platforms for example. This thesis is focused on the development of membranes for water desalination by forward osmosis, and estimation of the requirements (approximate membrane area and volume) for seawater desalination by a two-stage membrane based forward osmosis – nanofiltration process.
Characterisation of encapsulated embryonic stem cells using silac-based proteomics
Creators: name: Alsobaie, Sarah
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The embryonic stem cells have two hallmarks characters, the ability to reproduce self-renewal and generate other cell lineages. Despite the excessive advance in stem cell research, their clinical applications delay owing lack of an optimal culture condition in vitro. Combining biometrical scaffold with stem cells provides a promising way to cellular delivery and tissue transplant. In vitro 3D culture offers both a model to understand self-renewal and stem cell behaviour in vivo as a route to industrial production. We have used a variety of analytical tools including proteomics and quantitative RT-PCR to compare 3D (both static & dynamic) with 2D cultures. We further show that 3D dynamic culture increases expression of the master gene regulators (Oct4, Nanog and Sox2). Consistent with this Rex1, an inner-cell mass (ICM) associated marker, is over-expressed in 3D dynamic culture whereas Fgf5, an epiblast transition marker is down-regulated. Using SILAC-based proteomics to compare 2D vs. 3D dynamic culture, we show that encapsulated stem cell are characterized by glycolytic pathways down-regulation and increased mitochondrial respiratory proteins. Additionally, ECM proteins expression (laminin, fibronectin, heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans, agrin, and nidogen-2) were up-regulated. Cells shortly after encapsulation in 3D constructs (both static &dynamic) showed high oxygen uptake rates compared to 2D culture. After 9 days of encapsulation glucose uptake increased in both static & dynamic 3D cultures and was combined with a pronounced increase in cell density and up-regulation of hypoxia induce-factors (HIf-1α and Hif-2α). This shift in metabolism toward anaerobic glycolysis is associated with high expression of hexokinas2 (Hk2) and increased lactate production. Despite extensive cell proliferation at day 18, where cell numbers reached up to 80k/ bead, cells in dynamic culture switched back from anaerobic to aerobic metabolism. This alteration in energy consumption was not associated with nutrient depletion since both glucose and glutamate were not depleted in the culture medium. By monitoring the oxygen consumption, hypoxia-induced factors expression as well as Oct4 levels at different time points, we demonstrate that the stem cells self-renewal status in 3D condition is regulated despite the metabolism transitions. We postulate that the 3D culture environment provides the niche required sensing and responding to external and internal stimuli different from recognised in vitro embryonic stem cell behaviour.

Cultural production in Shanghai theatre during the Japanese occupation period: Yang Jiang's reception and transformation of Jane Austen's comedic art
Creators: name: Cheung, Hiu Yan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: In the wartime China of the 1940s, Yang Jiang 楊􄴛 wrote two very popular comedies: As You Desire 稱心􂤪意 (1943) and Swindle 弄真􃆸假 (1943). The genre of these two comedies and their relation to Western literature is discussed, and the connection between the styles of Yang and Austen is noticed and established on the ground that their works are regarded as belonging to the genre of the comedy of manners. This study focuses on Yang's reception of Austen's comedic style in her own comedies and examines how she receives and transforms the comedic elements of Austen's works onto the stage of the 1940s wartime Shanghai theatre. This thesis is divided into three parts. Part I discusses the background and horizon of expectations of Yang's reception of Austen's comedic art. Yang's direct reception of Austen's comic style is observed in her critique of Austen, in which her interpretation of Austen's style is generically related to the comedy of manners. Yang's reading experience of the familiar works of the comedy of manners in classical Chinese literature, as well as the comedies of manners written by Chinese playwrights in the China of the 1920s to 1940s, is the significant key to comprehending her horizon of expectations in the reception of Austen's style. Part II examines Yang's reception of Austen's style of the comedy of manners. The similarities between the styles of these two writers are discovered in the contexts of the Cheung depiction of female laughter, the spatial settings and anti-romanticism. Part III discusses Yang's transformation of Austen's comedic art in her own comedies. Living in a more turbulent environment than did Austen, Yang transforms Austen's comedic art in accordance with wartime Shanghai's socio-historical and socio-literary context. This transformation is demonstrated in two aesthetic orders of Yang's comedies: disillusionment and detachment.

description: We revisit H. Foellmer's concept of quadratic variation of a cadlag function along a sequence of time partitions and discuss its relation with the Skorokhod topology. We show that in order to obtain a robust notion of pathwise quadratic variation applicable to sample paths of cadlag processes, one must reformulate the definition of pathwise quadratic variation as a limit in Skorokhod topology of discrete approximations along the partition. One then obtains a simpler definition of quadratic variation which implies the Lebesgue decomposition as a result, rather than requiring it as an extra condition.

description: Correspondence between images is a fundamental problem in computer vision, with a variety of graphics applications. This paper presents a novel method for sparse cross-domain correspondence. Our method is designed for pairs of images where the main objects of interest may belong to different semantic categories and differ drastically in shape and appearance, yet still contain semantically related or geometrically similar parts. Our approach operates on hierarchies of deep features, extracted from the input images by a pre-trained CNN. Specifically, starting from the coarsest layer in both hierarchies, we search for Neural Best Buddies (NBB): pairs of neurons that are mutual nearest neighbors. The key idea is then to percolate NBBs through the hierarchy, while narrowing down the search regions at each level and retaining only NBBs with significant activations. Furthermore, in order to overcome differences in appearance, each pair of search regions is transformed into a common appearance. We evaluate our method via a user study, in addition to comparisons with alternative correspondence approaches. The usefulness of our method is demonstrated using a variety of graphics applications, including cross-domain image alignment, creation of hybrid images, automatic image morphing, and more.

description: The Dapor-Liegener model of Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC), which depicts an emergent universe from a de Sitter regime in the contracting phase is studied from the mathematical viewpoint of dynamical systems and compared with the standard model of LQC. Dealing with perturbations, on the contrary to standard LQC where at early times all the scales are inside the Hubble radius, we show that it is impossible to implement the matter bounce scenario due to the fact that an emergent de Sitter regime in the contracting phase implies that all the scales are outside of the Hubble radius in a past epoch.

Determinants of colostrum and breast milk immune composition and consequences for infant health
Creators: name: Munblit, Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Background: Breast milk is the principal source of nutrition during a critical period of immune programming - maternal and environmental exposures may influence breast milk composition and infant health. Objectives: To examine whether environmental and/or maternal factors influence levels of immune active components in colostrum and breast milk and identify associations between these factors and health outcomes. To examine if colostrum/breast milk immune composition can be grouped into specific 'lactotypes'. Methods: A prospective cohort study of mother/infant pairs in London, Moscow and Verona. Colostrum samples (days 0-6) and Mature Breast Milk (4-6 weeks) were analysed in duplicate using electrochemiluminescence, and the relationship between levels of immune active factors and maternal/environmental/infant factors was evaluated using mixed models. Lactotypes were identified using Principal Components Analysis. Results: Levels of immune active cytokines and growth factors in colostrum declined rapidly over time (r=-0.39 to -0.16; p<0.01). The effect of time could not be corrected using total protein or sodium as correction factors, due to different kinetics for each mediator measured. There were significant differences in colostrum and breast milk composition between countries, which could not be explained by the environmental and maternal factors examined. Using PCA there were two clusters of mediators, suggesting that four human breast milk ‘lactotypes’ exist, based on immune composition. There was some evidence in support of a relationship between human milk mediator levels and/or lactotypes, and infant health outcomes. Conclusions: The data support an important role for breast milk cytokines, and especially growth factor, levels as determinants of infant health. Further work is needed to identify improved methods for analysing colostrum and mature milk composition, which account for time of collection and/or stage of lactation.

description: The hard X-ray spectra of accreting black holes systems are generally well-fit by thermal Comptonization models with temperatures $\sim 100$ keV. We demonstrate why, over many orders of magnitude in heating rate and seed photon supply, hot plasmas radiate primarily by inverse Compton scattering, and find equilibrium temperatures within a factor of a few of 100 keV. We also determine quantitatively the (wide) bounds on heating rate and seed photon supply for which this statement is true. Plasmas in thermal balance in this regime obey two simple scaling laws, one relating the product of temperature and optical depth to the ratio of seed photon luminosity to plasma heating rate $l_s/l_h$, the other relating the spectral index of the output power-law to $l_s/l_h$. Because $α$ is almost independent of everything but $l_s/l_h$, the observed power law index may be used to estimate $l_s/l_h$. In both AGN and stellar black holes, the mean value estimated this way is $l_s/l_h \sim 0.1$. As a corollary, $Θτ_T$ must be $\simeq 0.1$ -- 0.2, depending on plasma geometry.

description: The assembly process of our Galaxy can be retrieved using the motions and chemistry of individual stars. Chemo-dynamical studies of the nearby halo have long hinted at the presence of multiple components such as streams, clumps, duality and correlations between the stars' chemical abundances and orbital parameters. More recently, the analysis of two large stellar surveys have revealed the presence of a well-populated chemical elemental abundance sequence, of two distinct sequences in the colour-magnitude diagram, and of a prominent slightly retrograde kinematic structure all in the nearby halo, which may trace an important accretion event experienced by the Galaxy. Here report an analysis of the kinematics, chemistry, age and spatial distribution of stars in a relatively large volume around the Sun that are mainly linked to two major Galactic components, the thick disk and the stellar halo. We demonstrate that the inner halo is dominated by debris from an object which at infall was slightly more massive than the Small Magellanic Cloud, and which we refer to as Gaia-Enceladus. The stars originating in Gaia-Enceladus cover nearly the full sky, their motions reveal the presence of streams and slightly retrograde and elongated trajectories. Hundreds of RR Lyrae stars and thirteen globular clusters following a consistent age-metallicity relation can be associated to Gaia-Enceladus on the basis of their orbits. With an estimated 4:1 mass-ratio, the merger with Gaia-Enceladus must have led to the dynamical heating of the precursor of the Galactic thick disk and therefore contributed to the formation of this component approximately 10 Gyr ago. These findings are in line with simulations of galaxy formation, which predict that the inner stellar halo should be dominated by debris from just a few massive progenitors.

description: We use the Shaviv and Wehrse (1991) code to model the vertical structure and the emission properties of quiescent dwarf nova discs. We find that in the case of HT Cas the quiescent disc must be optically thin, in contradiction with the requirements of the standard disc instability model. We find a viscosity parameter alpha > 1. Although this is much less than values (~ 100) obtained in isothermal slab models it is not consistent with the accretion disc model assumptions.

Electron Energy Losses Near Pulsar polar Caps

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present results of a model for the energetics of electrons accelerated by the large electric fields generated by a rotating highly magnetized neutron star. The energy loss mechanisms we consider in our calculations include magnetic Compton scattering of thermal x-ray photons, triplet pair production, and curvature radiation emission. The electron acceleration mechanism is assumed to operate only to a height above the polar cap approximately equal to the polar cap radius. We find several interesting results. First, magnetic Compton scattering is the dominant energy loss process when the electron Lorentz factors are < few x10^6 for typical gamma-ray pulsar magnetic fields and surface temperatures measured by ROSAT. The amount of energy converted to photons by accelerated electrons ranges from ~10% to ~100% of gamma_0 mc^2 where gamma_0 is the maximum Lorentz factor an electron can attain with no radiative losses. We also find that if B > 10^13 G and T > 3x10^6 K, the Lorentz factors of the electrons can be limited to values < 10^3 assuming values for the size of the neutron star thermal polar cap comparable to the polar cap size determined by the open field lines. Such small Lorentz factors may be capable of explaining the gamma-ray emission from PSR 1509-58 which is observed only at energies <1 MeV. We calculated the fraction of the electron's kinetic energy that is converted to gamma rays for the three gamma-ray pulsars which show thermal x-ray spectra, namely Vela (60%), Geminga (5%), and PSR 1055-52 (20%).

A comparative study of gaze stabilisation in Dipteran flies
Creators: name: Hardcastle, Ben
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Flying insects, like many other animals that rely on their sense of vision to guide behaviour, have a tendency to maintain a default orientation of their eyes relative to the environment. During flight, reflexes act to keep the head level and minimise retinal image shifts resulting from rotational steering manoeuvres, or from external perturbations such as wind gusts and turbulent air flow. Gaze stabilisation serves a number of functions, which include: i) simplifying the estimation of translational self-motion, ii) aligning the head-based sensory systems with the inertial vector which facilitates the transformation of sensory signals into motor commands, iii) supporting the tracking of moving targets, and iv) reducing motion blur in the visual input. This thesis reports studies on species-specific adaptations and general principles underlying multisensory gaze stabilisation in a number of different Dipteran flies. A variety of stimulation methods were explored, along with their suitability for a linear systems analysis of the gaze stabilisation system across species. Using results obtained from the well-characterised blowfly for comparison, novel experimental work was performed on the gaze stabilisation behaviour of robberflies, hoverflies and horseflies. Species from each family were shown to stabilise their heads in compensation for body rotations around the roll axis. The performance of the reflex was found to be species-specific and dependent on the sensory modalities involved. Experimental evidence suggests that in contrast to the other families, hoverflies appear to make use of the inertia of the head to maintain a level gaze, a novel finding that has previously been reported only for dragonflies. Finally, the integration of signals in the context of gaze stabilisation obtained by the two visual systems in blowflies - the ocelli and compound eyes - were explored in both behavioural and electrophysiological experiments. This research opens new lines of investigation by identifying behaviours that demonstrate different control strategies employed by the nervous systems of flying insects.
