description: We construct quantum circuits for measuring the commuting set of vertex and plaquette operators that appear in the Levin-Wen model for doubled Fibonacci anyons. Such measurements can be viewed as syndrome measurements for the quantum error-correcting code defined by the ground states of this model (the Fibonacci code). We quantify the complexity of these circuits with gate counts using different universal gate sets and find these measurements become significantly easier to perform if n-qubit Toffoli gates with n = 3,4 and 5 can be carried out directly. In addition to measurement circuits, we construct simplified quantum circuits requiring only a few qubits that can be used to verify that certain self-consistency conditions, including the pentagon equation, are satisfied by the Fibonacci code.

Metabolic regulation of tissue destruction in tuberculosis
Creators: name: Asher, Radha Mukul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Background: Tuberculosis (TB), the deadliest infection worldwide, causes severe tissue destruction associated with excess inflammation. This process is driven by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes regulated by the innate immune response. Patients also experience profound metabolic changes, such as weight loss. TB-infected macrophages show the Warburg effect, a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. However, the relationship between innate inflammation and cellular metabolism in TB is unclear. Materials/methods: Primary monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) or normal human bronchial epithelial cells (NHBEs) were incubated with specific metabolic inhibitors or transfected with siRNA. Glycolysis was blocked with the hexokinase (HK) inhibitor, 2-deoxyglucose (2DG). Cells were then directly infected with live, virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) H37Rv or stimulated with TB cytokine networks. Protein secretion and expression, gene expression and functional tissue damage were measured by ELISA, luminex, zymography, Western blot, real-time PCR and DQ collagen assay. HK2 immunohistochemistry was performed in samples from a murine TB model and TB patients. Results: HK2 was highly expressed in murine and human tissue sites of TB inflammation. In vitro, 2DG downregulated gene expression and secretion of MMP-1 and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1b; expression of the hypoxic transcription factor HIF-1a; functional matrix degradation and intracellular bacillary growth. The metabolic regulator AMPK upregulated MMP-1 secretion in TB, while MMP-1 was downregulated by the Pi3-kinase-Akt-mTORC1 signal transduction pathway. Conclusions: MMP-1, HIF-1a and pro-inflammatory cytokines are modulated by glycolysis, AMPK and the Pi3-kinase-Akt-mTORC1 pathway in TB. Immunometabolic regulation of tissue destruction in TB might provide new avenues for host-directed therapies.

description: Observations of transiting extrasolar planets are of key importance to our understanding of planets because their mass, radius, and mass density can be determined. The CoRoT space mission allows us to achieve a very high photometric accuracy. By combining CoRoT data with high-precision radial velocity measurements, we derive precise planetary radii and masses. We report the discovery of CoRoT-19b, a gas-giant planet transiting an old, inactive F9V-type star with a period of four days. After excluding alternative physical configurations mimicking a planetary transit signal, we determine the radius and mass of the planet by combining CoRoT photometry with high-resolution spectroscopy obtained with the echelle spectrographs SOPHIE, HARPS, FIES, and SANDIFORD. To improve the precision of its ephemeris and the epoch, we observed additional transits with the TRAPPIST and Euler telescopes. Using HARPS spectra obtained during the transit, we then determine the projected angle between the spin of the star and the orbit of the planet. We find that the host star of CoRoT-19b is an inactive F9V-type star close to the end of its main-sequence life. The host star has a mass M*=1.21+/-0.05 Msun and radius R*=1.65+/-0.04 Rsun. The planet has a mass of Mp=1.11+/-0.06 Mjup and radius of Rp=1.29+/-0.03 Rjup. The resulting bulk density is only rho=0.71+/-0.06 gcm-3, which is much lower than that for Jupiter. The exoplanet CoRoT-19b is an example of a giant planet of almost the same mass as Jupiter but a 30% larger radius.

Prospects for unveiling the Central Engine of Core-collapse Supernovae: Neutron Star or Black Hole?
Creators: name: Aghaei Abchouyeh, Maryam
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) are extreme events signaling the death of massive stars. The physical trigger powering supernovae following this core collapse is believed to involve a neutron star (NS) or a rapidly rotating black hole (BH), depending largely on progenitor mass. In case of a BH central engines, a potentially distinct signature is long-duration gravitational-wave (GW) bursts by their ample energy reservoir EJ in angular momentum, far more so than an NS can provide. This radiation requires a natural catalyst that is provided by the surrounding high-density matter in the form of a nonaxisymmetric disk or torus, in a suspended accretion state. Consequently, the BH undergoes a spin-down radiating a descending GW signal similar to GW170817B. By universality of BHs, here, we discus prospect on LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) capabilities on probing core-collapse supernovae during the present observational run based on their event rate, an association with long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and mass scaling of GW170817B/GRB170817A. For BH central engines of mass M, GW170817B predicts a descending GW chirp of energy 3.5%Msolar c^2(M/M0) at frequency 200Hz<fGW(M0/M)<680Hz , where M0=2.8Msolar. This frequency range is well within the sensitivity band of LVK. For a few tens of events per year well into the Local Universe within 50–100 Mpc, probes at the detector-limited sensitivity are expected to break the degeneracy between their NS or BH central engines by GW calorimetry.

description: Landbesitz ist ein wichtiger indirekter Treiber globaler Umweltveränderungen. Die Auswirkungen von Landbesitz auf die Umwelt sind nicht eindeutig, wobei Vorhersagen und Beobachtungen oft in entgegengesetzte Richtungen weisen. Ich verwende neu verfügbare Daten und interdisziplinäre Methoden, einschließlich ökonometrischer Verfahren um die kausalen Auswirkungen von Landbesitz auf die landwirtschaftlich bedingte Entwaldung und die biologische Vielfalt in Brasilien zu schätzen. Ich habe deutliche Belege dafür gefunden, dass das Fehlen klar definierter Eigentumsrechte auf öffentlichem Land in sehr unterschiedlichen Kontexten zu einer verstärkten landwirtschaftlich bedingten Entwaldung führt, wohingegen die Auswirkungen auf potenzielle Veränderungen der biologischen Vielfalt überraschenderweise weniger deutlich waren. Die Ergebnisse dieser Forschung zu einem besseren Verständnis von Landbesitz als Treiber von Umweltveränderungen auf großen räumlichen und zeitlichen Skalen führen.
description: Land tenure is a key driver of global environmental change. Environmental effects of land tenure are inconclusive or ambiguous, with expectations and evidence often predicting effects in contrasting directions. I use newly available data and interdisciplinary methods, including econometric techniques for the estimation of causal-effects, as well as macroecological approaches to test for effects of tenure on agriculture-driven deforestation and biodiversity in Brazil. I found strong evidence that across vastly different contexts, the lack of well-defined tenure rights on public lands causes increased agriculture-driven deforestation, though on the other hand, effects were surprisingly less clear for potential biodiversity changes. Findings from this research provide a better understanding of land tenure as a driver of environmental change at large spatial and temporal scales.

description: We report on the serendipitous discovery in the Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS) imaging data of a z = 0.9057 galaxy that is being strongly lensed by a massive galaxy cluster at a redshift of z=0.3838. The lens (BCS J2352-5452) was discovered while examining i- and z-band images being acquired in October 2006 during a BCS observing run. Follow-up spectroscopic observations with the GMOS instrument on the Gemini South 8m telescope confirmed the lensing nature of this system. Using weak plus strong lensing, velocity dispersion, cluster richness N_200, and fitting to an NFW cluster mass density profile, we have made three independent estimates of the mass M_200 which are all very consistent with each other. The combination of the results from the three methods gives M_200 = (5.1 +- 1.3) x 10^14 M_Sun, which is fully consistent with the individual measurements. The final NFW concentration c_200 from the combined fit is c_200 = 5.4(+1.4 -1.1). We have compared our measurements of M_200 and c_200 with predictions for (a) clusters from Lambda_CDM simulations, (b) lensing selected clusters from simulations, and (c) a real sample of cluster lenses. We find that we are most compatible with the predictions for Lambda_CDM simulations for lensing clusters, and we see no evidence based on this one system for an increased concentration compared to Lambda_CDM. Finally, using the flux measured from the [OII]3727 line we have determined the star formation rate (SFR) of the source galaxy and find it to be rather modest given the assumed lens magnification.

description: The article demonstrates the significance of the Great War for Italian Futurism: an aesthetic war, technological but above all revolutionary, from which, for the Italian avant-garde, a new society would have emerged. At this stage the machine - the supreme expression of modern industrial society - corresponds with the idea of a new man forged by it: heroic, strong, healthy. The complex problem of art and war is here understood as the other side, the most extreme, of the relationship between art and "politics". Futurism’s hendiadys "art-life" and the antithetical "art for art" of Giorgio de Chirico and Alberto Savinio are analyzed here as emblems of another way of understanding art and the artist's role in society and as the first instances of the post-war return to order.

description: Metformin hydrochloride (Met) is commonly used for antidiabetic therapy though its antimelanoma action is also reported. Conventional oral administration method of Met is not appropriate for therapy of melanoma because of large dose, adverse reactions, and low efficiency. Here, a transdermal Met-loaded cubic phase was developed for local treatment of melanoma. In silico formulation optimization of the cubic phases was done, and the corresponding formulations were prepared and characterized. The optimized formulations were screened based on the stable microstructure and proper fluidity. Highly efficient mouse skin permeability of Met was found with the cubic phases compared to Met solutions. High antimelanoma effect of transdermal Met-loaded cubic phases also was shown by the significant decrease of tumor volume and the improvement of melanoma cell apoptosis on the B16 melanoma mice. Met-loaded cubic phases are a promising topically applied medication for local therapies of melanoma.

description: In prior work the authors introduced a parabolic flow for pluriclosed metrics, referred to as pluriclosed flow. We also demonstrated that this flow, after certain gauge transformations, gives a class of solutions to the renormalization group flow of the nonlinear sigma model with B-field. Using these transformations, we show that our pluriclosed flow preserves generalized Kahler structures in a natural way. Equivalently, when coupled with a nontrivial evolution equation for the two complex structures, the B-field renormalization group flow also preserves generalized Kahler structure. We emphasize that it is crucial to evolve the complex structures in the right way to establish this fact.

description: Schizophrenie ist eine komplexe psychiatrische Erkrankung, bei der die Pathomechanismen auf zellulärer Ebene größtenteils unklar sind. Schizophrenie ist mit Kopienzahlvariationen (CNV) des Gens Neurexin 1 assoziiert, welches für postsynaptische Proteine codiert. In dieser Arbeit wurden induziert pluripotente Stammzellen (iPSC) verwendet, welche aus Patienten mit CNV in Neurexin 1 generiert wurden. Diese wurden zu Neuronen differenziert und analysiert. Es zeigt sich eine veränderte Transkription spezifischer Interneuronenmarker und Transkriptionsfaktoren, sowie eine reduzierte Aktivität der oxidativen Phosphorylierung im Vergleich zur Kontrolle. Die Ergebnisse zeigen sich im Einklang mit veröffentlichten Ergebnissen anderer Modelle. Das verwendete in vitro-Model ermöglicht die Auswirkungen der vorliegenden CNVs in Neurexin 1 auf zellulärer Ebene zu untersuchen, die Pathomechanismen der Schizophrenie genauer zu beleuchten und geeignete Angriffspunkte medikamentöser Therapien zu finden.
description: Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder whose pathological pathways are still largely unknown. Schizophrenia is associated with copy number variants (CNV) in the gene neurexin 1, which encodes a neural postsynaptic protein. In this research, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from patients with CNV in neurexin 1 were differentiated into mature neurons and analysed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and the Seahorse Flux Analyzer. The results show impairments in transcription of factors important for interneuron development and impairments in oxidative phosphorylation in patient-specific iPSC-derived neurons compared with control, similar to published results from other schizophrenia models. It is now possible to use this developed schizophrenia in vitro-model to analyse the effects of CNV in neurexin 1 on cellular and molecular mechanisms, to understand the pathological pathways in schizophrenia, and to find new therapeutic targets in the future.

description: This article investigates the dimensions of meaning that Italian intellectuals either attributed to the “War of Redemption” of 1915-1918 or accordingly dismissed. The focal point is the dialectic of criticism of the present and war apologetics, which motivated ideologically different actors such as nationalists, futurists or late-risorgimental democrats to adopt an interventionist point of view. In their desire for Italy’s palingenesis from the crucible of war, “right” and “left” pro-war advocates could converge, and volunteers from the ''terre irredente ''were able to ignore their various identities for the sake of ''italianità''. Typical literary testimonies elucidate the meaning that was ascribed to the conflict as a “great opportunity” for subverting the ''status quo'' of the individual and society as well as the dimension of radical criticism and ethical disillusionment. Post-war crisis and the liquidation of the liberal state are also discussed.

Zeitabhängige effektive Scherfestigkeit am Beispiel überkonsolidierter Böden aus dem Tagebau Amsdorf

description: In dieser Arbeit wurden 4 Böden aus dem Tagebau Amsdorf (Rupelton, Braunkohlenton, Braunkohlenschluff, Kippe) hinsichtlich ihres zeitabhängigen Scherverhaltens im direkten Scherversuch untersucht. Versuche mit sprunghafter Änderung der Schergeschwindigkeit bestätigen die aus Triaxialversuchen bekannte Abhängigkeit des Scherwiderstands von der Schergeschwindigkeit. Es zeigt sich jedoch nur beim Braunkohlenton ein reines Isotachen-Verhalten, bei dem jeder Schergeschwindigkeit eine kennzeichnende Scherwiderstandslinie zugeordnet ist. Bei den anderen Böden wird die Änderung des Scherwiderstands ab dem Grenzzustand durch eine entgegenwirkende Verfestigung bzw. Entfestigung zumindest teilweise wieder kompensiert. Außerdem nimmt die Viskosität mit dem Scherweg ab. Anhand von Relaxationsversuchen wurden die Scherparameter ohne viskosen Scherwiderstand abgeschätzt. Dabei nehmen sowohl Kohäsion als auch Reibungswinkel ab. Aufgrund der festgestellten Alterung der Scherfuge ist davon auszugehen, dass die Abnahme zu einem gewissen Teil durch eine zeitabhängige Verfestigung kompensiert wird.
description: In this work, 4 soils from the Amsdorf open pit mine (Rupel Clay, Lignite Clay, Lignite Silt, mine dump) were investigated with respect to their time-dependent shear behavior in direct shear tests. Tests with abrupt changes in shear rate confirm the dependence of shear resistance on shear rate known from triaxial tests. However, only the Lignite clay shows a pure isotach behavior, where each shear rate is associated with a characteristic shear resistance curve. In the other soils, the change in shear resistance from the limit state is at least partially compensated by counteracting hardening or softening. In addition, the viscosity decreases with shear strain. Relaxation tests were used to estimate the shear parameters without viscous shear resistance. Thereby, both cohesion and friction angle decrease. Due to the observed aging effect, it can be assumed that the decrease is compensated to a certain extent by a time-dependent hardening.

description: October 1918 witnessed the collapse of the German and Austro-Hungarian armies, both greatly affected by war-weariness and starvation. The Austro-Hungarian monarchy lost any remaining loyalty from its multi-national populace when President Woodrow Wilson issued Point Ten of his Fourteen Points, concerning the subject peoples of the Empire. Emperor Charles’ Manifesto of 16 October represented the final push for independence of the soon-to-be new states created by the collapse of the Dual Monarchy. Battlefield defeat of the German army in 1918 also led to major changes to its government. Thus the two Central European Great Powers suffered defeat.

description: Very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), such as axion-like particles (ALPs) or hidden photons (HPs), may be non-thermally produced via the misalignment mechanism in the early universe and survive as a cold dark matter population until today. We find that, both for ALPs and HPs whose dominant interactions with the standard model arise from couplings to photons, a huge region in the parameter spaces spanned by photon coupling and ALP or HP mass can give rise to the observed cold dark matter. Remarkably, a large region of this parameter space coincides with that predicted in well motivated models of fundamental physics. A wide range of experimental searches -- exploiting haloscopes (direct dark matter searches exploiting microwave cavities), helioscopes (searches for solar ALPs or HPs), or light-shining-through-a-wall techniques -- can probe large parts of this parameter space in the foreseeable future.

description: Der Wirkungsgrad heutiger Standard-Halbleitersolarzellen wird durch die Bandlücke des absorbierenden Materials begrenzt. Photonen mit Energien unterhalb der Bandlücke können nicht in elektrische Energie umgewandelt werden, während bei höheren Energien thermische Verluste auftreten. Zwischenband-Solarzellen können diese Einschränkung überwinden. In Ihnen werden Zwischenbänder innerhalb der Bandlücke des absorbierenden Halbleiters erzeugt, bspw. durch gezielte Verunreinigungen, um effektiv Photonen verschiedener Energien zu absorbieren. In dieser Arbeit wird mit V, Ti und Nb hyperdotiertes In2S3 als potenzielles photovoltaisches Zwischenband-Material untersucht, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den strukturellen und optoelektronischen Veränderungen des In2S3 liegt. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die Dotierstoffe erfolgreich in die In2S3-Struktur eingebaut werden und neue Energieniveaus in der Bandlücke bilden, dabei aber die Kristallstruktur verändern und die Defektdichten erhöhen.
description: The efficiency of today's standard semiconductor solar cell is limited by the band gap of the absorbing material. Photons with energies below the band gap cannot be converted to electrical energy, while thermalization losses reduce the conversion efficiency for photons with energies above the band gap. A potential photovoltaic technology that overcomes this limit is the intermediate band (IB) solar cell. It utilizes additional energy bands inside the band gap of the absorbing semiconductor, induced by e.g. impurities, to effectively absorb photons of multiple energies. This thesis explores PVD-grown In2S3 hyper-doped with V, Ti and Nb as a potential photovoltaic IB material with a focus on the structural and optoelectronic changes to In2S3. It concludes that the dopants are successfully incorporated into the In2S3 structure and form new energy levels in the band gap, but change the crystal structure and increase defect densities.

description: By employing highly sensitive millikelvin SQUID magnetometry, the magnitude of the Curie temperature as a function of the Mn concentration x is determined for thoroughly characterized Ga1-xMnxN. The interpretation of the results in the frame of tight binding theory and of Monte Carlo simulations, allows us to assign the spin interaction to ferromagnetic superexchange and to benchmark the accuracy of state-of-the-art ab initio methods in predicting the magnetic characteristics of dilute magnetic insulators.

Multimetallic nanoscale systems for magnetic resonance imaging
Creators: name: Perry, Hannah Louise
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Gadolinium-based contrast agents are widely used in clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve the visibility of important features in the body. However, the low sensitivity of these agents means that they must be administered in very large quantities, often several grams. There is, therefore, an indisputable need to improve the performance of gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents as this would enable them to be administered at a reduced dose. It is known that incorporating multiple gadolinium chelates into a single structure improves the ability of the chelates to enhance the contrast in MRI. These macromolecular structures are large in size, which means that they exhibit a reduced rotational speed and hence an improved relaxivity. Additionally, confining multiple gadolinium chelates into a small region of space means that they can benefit from the multimeric effect, which results in a greater contrast enhancement in the MR image. This thesis explores two different approaches to improving the relaxivity of gadolinium chelates: tethering them to the surface of gold nanoparticles and incorporating them into multimetallic complexes. For each approach, two different gadolinium chelates have been employed, both of which feature a cyclic, octadentate chelator for robust, irreversible encapsulation of the Gd3+ ion and a dithiocarbamate moiety for attachment to the gold nanoparticle surface/ metal ion core. The work described in this thesis aims to contribute to the ongoing research into the development of MRI contrast agents by exploring different multi-gadolinium systems, from functionalised gold nanoparticles to multimetallic complexes. The first chapter describes the assessment of a number of functionalised gold nanoparticles, which benefit from impressive relaxivities and high gadolinium loading. The second chapter focuses on multimetallic complexes, which were investigated in terms of their relaxivity, stability, cellular toxicity and cellular uptake. The final chapter describes the journey of a novel, targeted MRI contrast agent from testing in the laboratory through to application in vivo. It is hoped that this work will provide a platform for further research in this area.

subject: Infants--Mortality

description: For his human rights capstone project, Ahmed Moutwakil conducted research on the implementation of Essential Newborn Care (ENC), which is a process of evidence-based neonatal interventions to ensure the health and survival of newborns, to analyze how in settings of humanitarian crisis and conflict neonatal mortality risk increases substantially among affected populations. Ahmed further shows how the limited systematic evidence on ENC implementation hinders the development of effective interventions and he aims to investigate the specific aspects, components, and features of ENC implementation that have been documented in settings of high-intensity armed conflict and humanitarian crisis. Through this project, he provides recommendations and highlights the need for future research to adapt current guidelines to most effectively deliver interventions in these settings, and how to prioritize context-specific ENC interventions to improve neonatal outcomes.
Influence of homology and node-age on the growth of protein-protein interaction networks

description: Proteins participating in a protein-protein interaction network can be grouped into homology classes following their common ancestry. Proteins added to the network correspond to genes added to the classes, so that the dynamics of the two objects are intrinsically linked. Here, we first introduce a statistical model describing the joint growth of the network and the partitioning of nodes into classes, which is studied through a combined mean-field and simulation approach. We then employ this unified framework to address the specific issue of the age dependence of protein interactions, through the definition of three different node wiring/divergence schemes. Comparison with empirical data indicates that an age-dependent divergence move is necessary in order to reproduce the basic topological observables together with the age correlation between interacting nodes visible in empirical data. We also discuss the possibility of nontrivial joint partition/topology observables.

description: The dominions of Australia, Canada, Newfoundland, New Zealand, and South Africa shared an ambiguous constitutional relationship with Britain. The self-governing dominions were free to implement their own policies in matters of defence, but their limited resources and reliance on British protection, particularly the security provided by the Royal Navy, necessitated a degree of imperial cooperation. Popular sentiment and external threats encouraged dominion integration in imperial defence, but integration was complicated by differing priorities based on each dominion’s domestic concerns. The competing interests of imperial sentiment and rising nationalism was the crux of each dominion’s military relationship with Great Britain.

Novel resource-efficient methods for robust and accurate taxonomic profiling of metagenomic data

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 004

description: Examining the taxonomic composition of sequenced data is a necessary step in almost any metagenomic analysis. Most existing and widely used programs prioritize speed over accuracy and robustness, while consuming large amounts of memory. As an alternative, we have developed and implemented new methods in a program called kASA, which is able to efficiently identify DNA or protein sequences using k-mers to build a metagenomic profile. We ensure high accuracy and robustness by using an amino acid-like encoding together with an interval of k's while using at most the amount of memory specified by the user. Algorithms and data structures specifically adapted to the use of secondary memory allow a complete taxonomic analysis of metagenomic data without compromises on HPC clusters, desktops or even laptops.
description: Die Untersuchung der taxonomischen Zusammensetzung von sequenzierten Daten ist ein notwendiger Schritt in fast jeder metagenomischen Analyse. Die meisten existierenden und weit verbreiteten Programme priorisieren Geschwindigkeit über Genauigkeit oder Robustheit und verbrauchen dabei große Mengen an Arbeitsspeicher. Als Alternative haben wir neue Methoden entwickelt und in einem Programm namens kASA implementiert, das in der Lage ist, effizient DNA- oder Proteinsequenzen mit k-meren zu identifizieren, um ein metagenomisches Profil zu erstellen. Dabei wird eine hohe Genauigkeit und Robustheit sicher gestellt, indem es eine aminosäureähnliche Kodierung zusammen mit einem Intervall von k's verwendet, wobei dabei maximal die vom Benutzer angegebene Speichermenge verbraucht wird. Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen, die speziell an die Verwendung von Sekundärspeicher angepasst sind, ermöglichen eine taxonomische Analyse von metagenomischen Daten auf HPC-Clustern, Desktops oder sogar Laptops.

description: We try to identify the light hadron world as the magnetic picture of QCD. We take both phenomenological and theoretical approaches to this hypothesis, and find that the interpretation seems to show interesting consistencies. In particular, one can identify the rho and omega mesons as the magnetic gauge bosons, and the Higgs mechanism for them provides a dual picture of the color confinement.

description: Despite World War I’s reputation as a senseless bloodbath whose military operations were devoid of any intelligent thought, the period 1914-1918 was history’s single largest revolution in military tactics and technologies. Virtually nothing about standard battlefield operations prior to 1914 remained valid after 1918. Likewise, almost everything about battlefield operations in 1918 remains valid today, albeit adapted to the ever-increasing advances in weapons and technologies. What emerged from World War I, then, was what we recognize today as the Modern Style of Warfare. Virtually all military advances since 1918 have been incremental technical improvements to the efficiency of the conceptual model of the Modern Style of Warfare.
