description: Computing technologies pervade physical spaces and human lives, and produce a vast amount of data that is available for analysis. However, there is a growing concern that potentially sensitive data may become public if the collected data are not appropriately sanitized before being released for investigation. Although there are more than a few privacy-preserving methods available, they are not efficient, scalable or have problems with data utility, and/or privacy. This paper addresses these issues by proposing an efficient and scalable nonreversible perturbation algorithm, PABIDOT, for privacy preservation of big data via optimal geometric transformations. PABIDOT was tested for efficiency, scalability, resistance, and accuracy using nine datasets and five classification algorithms. Experiments show that PABIDOT excels in execution speed, scalability, attack resistance and accuracy in large-scale privacy-preserving data classification when compared with two other, related privacy-preserving algorithms.

description: The ladder-rainbow truncation of the set of Dyson-Schwinger equations is used to study a variety of electroweak and strong processes involving light mesons. The parameters in the effective interaction are constrained by the chiral condensate and f_π; the current quark masses are fitted to m_πand m_K. The obtained electromagnetic form factors are in good agreement with the data. Also the weak K_{l3} decay and the radiative and strong decays of the vector mesons agree reasonably well with the data. Finally, we indicate how processes such as π-πscattering can be described within this framework as well.

description: The electrification of hydrophobic surfaces is an intensely debated subject in physical chemistry. We theoretically study the ζ potential of hydrophobic surfaces for varying pH and salt concentration by solving the Poisson–Boltzmann and Stokes equations with individual ionic adsorption affinities. Using the ionic surface affinities extracted from the experimentally measured surface tension of the air–electrolyte interface, we first show that the interfacial adsorption and repulsion of small inorganic ions such as H3O+, OH–, HCO3–, and CO32– cannot account for the ζ potential observed in experiments because the surface affinities of these ions are too small. Even if we take hydrodynamic slip into account, the characteristic dependence of the ζ potential on pH and salt concentration cannot be reproduced. Instead, to explain the sizable experimentally measured ζ potential of hydrophobic surfaces, we assume minute amounts of impurities in the water and include the impurities’ acidic and basic reactions with water. We find good agreement between our predictions and the reported experimental ζ potential data of various hydrophobic surfaces if we account for impurities that consist of a mixture of weak acids (pKa = 5–7) and weak bases (pKb = 12) at a concentration of the order of 10–7 M.

description: Features of the qualitative and quantitative composition of upper respiratory tract microflora in HIV-infected compared to HIV-negative volunteers were revealed. Microbiological examination of posterior pharyngeal wall micro-flora in 100 patients with HIV infection and 50 healthy volunteers was carried out. In the group of patients with HIV infection, the level of CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, CD19 + lymphocytes was determined. Microorganisms were identified using mass spectrometry MALDI-ToF. It was found that in patients with HIV infection there is a high frequency of colonization by enterobacteria – 25 strains, 16 strains of pneumococcus were detected. Representatives of resident gram-positive flora prevailed in 50 healthy people examined, 2 strains of pneumococcus, 4 microorganisms of the order Enterobacterales were isolated. It was found that the wearing of pneumococcus (p = 0,0337), as well as the colonization of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract by enterobacteria (p = 0,0152) is statistically significantly higher in patients with HIV infection. Lowering CD19 + lymphocytes below 100 cells/μl of blood increases the risk of pneumococcus in HIV-infected patients (p = 0,037).

description: We present the QCD analysis of D-parameter distribution in near-to-planar 3-jet e+e- annihilation events. We derive the all-order resummed perturbative prediction and the leading power suppressed non-perturbative corrections both to the mean value and the distribution. Here non-perturbative corrections are larger than in 2-jet shape observables, so that higher order non-perturbative effects could be relevant. Experimental data (not yet available) are needed in order to cast light on this important point. The technique we develop aims at improving the accuracy of the theoretical description of multi-jet ensembles, in particular in hadron-hadron collisions.

description: Electroplasticity is defined as the reduction in flow stress of a material undergoing deformation on passing an electrical pulse through it. The lowering of flow stress during electrical pulsing has been attributed to a combination of three mechanisms: softening due to Joule-heating of the material, de-pinning of dislocations from paramagnetic obstacles, and the electron-wind force acting on dislocations. However, there is no consensus in literature regarding the relative magnitudes of the reductions in flow stress resulting from each of these mechanisms. In this paper, we extend a dislocation density based crystal plasticity model to incorporate the mechanisms of electroplasticity and perform simulations where a single electrical pulse is applied during compressive deformation of a polycrystalline FCC material with random texture. We analyze the reductions in flow stress to understand the relative importance of the different mechanisms of electroplasticity and delineate their dependencies on the various parameters related to electrical pulsing and dislocation motion. Our study establishes that the reductions in flow stress are largely due to the mechanisms of de-pinning of dislocations from paramagnetic obstacles and Joule-heating, with their relative dominance determined by the specific choice of crystal plasticity parameters corresponding to the particular material of interest.

description: While human extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted a big deal of interest and have been extensively characterized over the last years, plant-derived EVs and nanovesicles have earned less attention and have remained poorly investigated. Although a series of investigations already revealed promising beneficial health effects and drug delivery properties, adequate (pre)clinical studies are rare. This fact might be caused by a lack of sources with appropriate qualities. Our study introduces plant cell suspension culture as a new and well controllable source for plant EVs. Plant cells, cultured in vitro, release EVs into the growth medium which could be harvested for pharmaceutical applications. In this investigation we characterized EVs and nanovesicles from distinct sources. Our findings regarding secondary metabolites indicate that these might not be packaged into EVs in an active manner but enriched in the membrane when lipophilic enough, since apparently lipophilic compounds were associated with nanovesicles while more hydrophilic structures were not consistently found. In addition, protein identification revealed a possible explanation for the mechanism of EV cell wall passage in plants, since cell wall hydrolases like 1,3-β-glucosidases, pectinesterases, polygalacturonases, β-galactosidases and β-xylosidase/α-L-arabinofuranosidase 2-like are present in plant EVs and nanovesicles which might facilitate cell wall transition. Further on, the identified proteins indicate that plant cells secrete EVs using similar mechanisms as animal cells to release exosomes and microvesicles.

description: We clarify some aspects of the LSZ formalism and wave function renormalisation for unstable particles in the presence of electroweak interactions when mixing and CP violation are considered. We also analyse the renormalisation of the CKM mixing matrix which is closely related to wave function renormalisation. We critically review earlier attempts to define a set of "on-shell" wave function renormalisation constants. With the aid of an extensive use of the Nielsen identities complemented by explicit calculations we corroborate that the counter term for the CKM mixing matrix must be explicitly gauge independent and demonstrate that the commonly used prescription for the wave function renormalisation constants leads to gauge parameter dependent amplitudes, even if the CKM counter term is gauge invariant as required. We show that a proper LSZ-compliant prescription leads to gauge independent amplitudes. The resulting wave function renormalisation constants necessarily possess absorptive parts, but we verify that they comply with the expected requirements concerning CP and CPT. The results obtained using this prescription are different (even at the level of the modulus squared of the amplitude) from the ones neglecting the absorptive parts in the case of top decay. The difference is numerically relevant.

description: We present Fabry-Perot and multi-object spectroscopy of the galaxies in Hickson compact group 31 (HCG31). Based upon our H$α$ data cubes, galaxies A and C are a single entity, showing no discontinuity in their kinematics. Kinematically, galaxy E is probably a component of the A+C complex; otherwise it is a recently detached fragment. Galaxy F appears, both kinematically and chemically, to have formed from material tidally removed from the A+C complex. Galaxies B and G are kinematically distinct from this complex. Galaxy Q also has a radial velocity compatible with group membership. Galaxies A, B, C, and F have nearly identical oxygen abundances, despite spanning a luminosity range of 5$ $mag. Galaxy B's oxygen abundance is normal for its luminosity, while galaxy F's abundance is that expected given its origin as a tidal fragment of the A+C complex. The oxygen abundances in galaxies A and C are also understandable if the A+C complex is a late-type spiral suffering strong gas inflow and star formation as a result of a tidal interaction. Given the kinematics of both the galaxies and the \ion{H}{i} gas, the oxygen abundances, and the position of galaxy G, we propose that an interaction of galaxy G with the A+C complex, rather than a merger of galaxies A and C, is a more complete explanation for the tidal features and other properties of HCG31. In this case, the A+C complex need not be a merger in progress, though this is not ruled out.

description: The influence of virulent bacteriophages in the antibiotic susceptibility of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. The results indicate that before and after the joint cultivation of the strains of S. aureus with a specific bacteriophage, the interpretation of the diameters of zones of growth inhibition of microorganisms under the influence of ABP (anti-bacterial drugs) was within its category: “sensitive”, “moderately resistant” and “stable”. Minor fluctuations in the measurement parameters of zones of inhibition of bacterial growth after cultivation with bacteriophage were recorded. According to the calculation of Wilcoxon's sign rank criteria for related samples, the data presented did not have statis-tical significance. Thus, the results of experimental studies indicate the absence of the effect of virulent bacteriophages on the sensitivity of S. aureus microorganisms to antibacterial preparation. This makes it possible to recommend the treatment of bacterial infections with virulent bacteriophages in conjunction with antibiotics.

Structrual studies of the sigma factor regulators of Escherichia coli
Creators: name: Wang, Zhihao
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: The bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) requires an additional type of subunit called the σ factor to recognise the promoter element of the gene and to form the holoenzyme that is capable of transcription initiation. The sigma factor within the core enzyme separates the double-stranded DNA that helps to initiate the transcription in the active channel of the holoenzyme. As each of the sigma factors binds at the specific promoter region upstream of the gene, it can guide the assembly of the holoenzyme and consequently regulates the transcription of the gene. The different types of σ factor that bind to the RNAP core enzyme can regulate the transcription of different sets of genes, should the bacteria require to survive through the change in the environment. The σ factor can be regulated, and the proteins that regulate the sigma factor are therefore essential in the survival of the bacteria. The thesis includes two parts. The first part of the thesis describes the NMR assignments and the solution structure of the receiver domain of RssB, a σS regulator that plays an essential role in the regulated proteolysis of the σS. Additionally, the NMR titration of one of the anti-adapter protein IraD with the receiver domain of RssB helps to understand the binding interface of the complex. This solution structure provided the basis for future studies on the regulation of the σS. The second part of the thesis describes the characterisation of the N-terminal CARF domain of RtcR, a transcriptional regulator of the RNA repairing system Rtc that interacts with σN . In this study, the protein was found to form a protein-RNA-protein complex with the 16S rRNA and the RNA cyclase protein RtcA. This finding provided the basis for further studies on this protein-RNA complex and its biological significance in the regulation of σN-dependent genes.

description: In this talk I review theoretical predictions for CP violation in non-leptonic hyperon decays in the Standard Model and models beyond. In the Standard Model the CP violating observable $A$ in the polarization asymmetries of $Λ\to p π^-$ and $Ξ^- \to Λπ^-$ decays are predicted to be in the ranges $(-0.61\sim 6.8)\times 10^{-5}$ and $-(0.1\sim 1)\times 10^{-5}$, respectively. These ranges are below the sensitivity of $1.4\times 10^{-4}$ for $A(Λ^0_-)+A(Ξ^0_-)$ for E871 experiment at Fermilab. When going beyond the SM, such as, Supersymmetric and Left-Right symmetric models, $A$ can be as large as $10^{-3}$ and a few times of $10^{-4}$, respectively. Studies of hyperon decays can provide important information about CP violation.

Branching strategies for mixed-integer programs containing logical constraints and decomposable structure
Creators: name: Mistry, Miten Narendra
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Decision-making optimisation problems can include discrete selections, e.g. selecting a route, arranging non-overlapping items or designing a network of items. Branch-and-bound (B&B), a widely applied divide-and-conquer framework, often solves such problems by considering a continuous approximation, e.g. replacing discrete variable domains by a continuous superset. Such approximations weaken the logical relations, e.g. for discrete variables corresponding to Boolean variables. Branching in B&B reintroduces logical relations by dividing the search space. This thesis studies designing B&B branching strategies, i.e. how to divide the search space, for optimisation problems that contain both a logical and a continuous structure. We begin our study with a large-scale, industrially-relevant optimisation problem where the objective consists of machine-learnt gradient-boosted trees (GBTs) and convex penalty functions. GBT functions contain if-then queries which introduces a logical structure to this problem. We propose decomposition-based rigorous bounding strategies and an iterative heuristic that can be embedded into a B&B algorithm. We approach branching with two strategies: a pseudocost initialisation and strong branching that target the structure of GBT and convex penalty aspects of the optimisation objective, respectively. Computational tests show that our B&B approach outperforms state-of-the-art solvers in deriving rigorous bounds on optimality. Our second project investigates how satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) derived unsatisfiable cores may be utilised in a B&B context. Unsatisfiable cores are subsets of constraints that explain an infeasible result. We study two-dimensional bin packing (2BP) and develop a B&B algorithm that branches on SMT unsatisfiable cores. We use the unsatisfiable cores to derive cuts that break 2BP symmetries. Computational results show that our B&B algorithm solves 20% more instances when compared with commercial solvers on the tested instances. Finally, we study convex generalized disjunctive programming (GDP), a framework that supports logical variables and operators. Convex GDP includes disjunctions of mathematical constraints, which motivate branching by partitioning the disjunctions. We investigate separation by branching, i.e. eliminating solutions that prevent rigorous bound improvement, and propose a greedy algorithm for building the branches. We propose three scoring methods for selecting the next branching disjunction. We also analyse how to leverage infeasibility to expedite the B&B search. Computational results show that our scoring methods can reduce the number of explored B&B nodes by an order of magnitude when compared with scoring methods proposed in literature. Our infeasibility analysis further reduces the number of explored nodes.
Investigation of new and novel techniques of accurately measuring the response of structures to short-duration loads
Creators: name: Stephens, Robert Arthur Coutts
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Although terrorist and accidental industrial explosions are infrequent, engineers still need to understand how structures respond to the short-duration loads generated by such events. Previous research to measure the response of structures, subject to such loads, has often been limited to before and after measurements. Although there are sensors that can measure the transient response, such as linear voltage displacement transducers, accelerometers and laser displacement gauges, these are often expensive and limited to measuring individual points. This research identifies cheaper methods to accurately measure the transient response caused by short-duration loads. A review of sensors used to measure structural response in short-duration and structural health monitoring (SHM) scenarios, identified inertial measurement units (IMUs) as a potential alternative to traditional sensors. Although the individual IMU gyroscopes and accelerometers may be used in isolation, when combined using data fusion techniques improved accuracy is possible. IMUs have been used for vehicle navigation, and to a limited degree SHM, but minimal evidence of their use to measure the response of structures subject to short-duration loads exists. To validate their use in such environments, an MPU9250 IMU was used to monitor the response of several simple structures to various loads, from static, through dynamic to ballistic loading. In a parallel investigation, two full-bridge strain gauge arrangements were used to measure support rotation. The research proved that using data fusion to combine IMU accelerometer and gyroscope results, produced an accurate representation of the response, quantified using existing error and inequality measure criteria. It also showed that, in certain scenarios, a combination of strain gauges could be used to measure an element’s support rotation with a reasonable degree of accuracy. It was concluded that cheap sensor systems, such as IMUs and strain gauges, had the potential to accurately measure the response of structures to short-duration loads.

description: We demonstrate that the amplitude $$ does not vanish in the limit of zero quark masses. This represents a new kind of violation of the classical equation of motion for the axial current and should be interpreted as the axial anomaly for bound states. The anomaly emerges in spite of the fact that the one loop integrals are ultraviolet-finite as guaranteed by the presence of the bound-state wave function. As a result, the amplitude behaves like $\sim 1/p^2$ in the limit of a large momentum $p$ of the current. This is to be compared with the amplitude $$ which remains finite in the limit $p^2\to\infty$. The observed effect leads to the modification of the classical equation of motion of the axial-vector current in terms of the non-local operator and can be formulated as a non-local axial anomaly for bound states.

description: Background: Nuclear pasta, emerging due to the competition between the long-range Coulomb force and the short-range strong force, is believed to be present in astrophysical scenarios, such as neutron stars and core-collapse supernovae. Its structure can have a high impact e.g. on neutrino transport or the tidal deformability of neutron stars. Purpose: We study several possible pasta configurations, all of them minimal surface configurations, which are expected to appear in the mid-density regime of nuclear pasta, i.e. around 40% of the nuclear saturation density. In particular we are interested in the energy spectrum for different pasta configurations considered. Method: Employing the density functional theory (DFT) approach, we calculate the binding energy of the different configurations for three values of the proton content XP = 1/10, 1/3 and 1/2, by optimizing their periodic length. We study finite temperature effects and the impact of electron screening. Results: Nuclear pasta lowers the energy significantly compared to uniform matter, especially for $X_P \geq 1/3$. However, the different configurations have very similar binding energies. For large proton content, $X_P \geq 1/3$, the pasta configurations are very stable, for lower proton content temperatures of a few MeV are enough for the transition to uniform matter. Electron screening has a small influence on the binding energy of nuclear pasta, but increases its periodic length. Conclusion: Nuclear pasta in the mid-density regime lowers the energy of the matter for all proton fractions under study. It can survive even large temperatures of several MeV. Since various configurations have very similar energy, it is to expected that many configurations can coexist simultaneously already at small temperatures.

description: Features of pregnancy and childbirth in 9 women with a new coronavirus infection, as well as the period of early postnatal adaptation in their newborns, were studied. There are no confirmed cases of vertical transmission of infection. Only 1 newborn was positive for SARS-CoV-2, and infection occurred postnatally during contact with the sick mother. Delivery in 5 women was carried out by caesarean section according to emergency indications from the fetus, in other cases - through natural birth routes. All children had a good Apgar score, no signs of asphyxia in childbirth were noted. The period of early adaptation in newborns was without complications. No signs of infection, increased temperature, respiratory disorders were detected.
Key words: COVID-19, newborns, postnatal adaptation.

description: The open string sector of the topological B-model model on CY $(m+2)$-folds is described by $m$-graded quivers with superpotentials. This correspondence extends to general $m$ the well known connection between CY $(m+2)$-folds and gauge theories on the worldvolume of D$(5-2m)$-branes for $m=0,\ldots, 3$. We introduce $m$-dimers, which fully encode the $m$-graded quivers and their superpotentials, in the case in which the CY $(m+2)$-folds are toric. Generalizing the well known $m=1,2$ cases, $m$-dimers significantly simplify the connection between geometry and $m$-graded quivers. A key result of this paper is the generalization of the concept of perfect matching, which plays a central role in this map, to arbitrary $m$. We also introduce a simplified algorithm for the computation of perfect matchings, which generalizes the Kasteleyn matrix approach to any $m$. We illustrate these new tools with a few infinite families of CY singularities.

description: The attenuation of the intraband intensity of a superdeformed band, which results from mixing with normally deformed configurations, is calculated using reaction theory. It is found that the sharp increase of the attenuation is mostly due to the tunnelling through a spin dependent barrier and not to the chaotic nature of the normally deformed states.

description: Metal-halide perovskites are promising lasing materials for realization of monolithically integrated laser sources, the key components of silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Perovskites can be deposited from solution and require only low temperature processing leading to significant cost reduction and enabling new PIC architectures compared to state-of-the-art lasers realized through costly and inefficient hybrid integration of III-V semiconductors. Until now however, due to the chemical sensitivity of perovskites, no microfabrication process based on optical lithography and therefore on existing semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure has been established. Here, the first methylammonium lead iodide perovskite micro-disc lasers monolithically integrated into silicon nitride PICs by such a top-down process is presented. The lasers show a record low lasing threshold of 4.7 $μ$Jcm$^{-2}$ at room temperature for monolithically integrated lasers, which are CMOS compatible and can be integrated in the back-end-of-line (BEOL) processes.

description: This study surveys the models of the determinates of military expenditure and then specifies a model for the determinants of military expenditure in Africa and tests it by time series, cross section and pooled cross-section time series data for thirteen least-developed sub-Sahara African countries. The result of the analysis shows that military spending in this sample, is determined mainly by strategic considerations rather than by pure economic conditions.

description: We present the state of the art of a compact high-energy mid-infrared laser system for TW-level 8-cycle pulses at 7 um. This system consists of an Er:Tm:Ho:fiber MOPA which serves as the seeder for a ZGP-based OPCPA chain in addition to a Ho:YLF amplifier which is Tm:fiber pumped. Featuring all-optical synchronization, the system delivers 260-mJ pump energy at 2052 nm, 16-ps duration at 100 Hz with a stability of 0.8 % rms over 20 min. We show that chirp inversion in the OPCPA chain leads to excellent energy extraction and aids in compression of the 7-um pulses to 8 optical cycles (188 fs) in bulk BaF2 with 93.5 % efficiency. Using 21.7 mJ of the available pump energy, we generate 0.75-mJ-energy pulses at 7 um due to increased efficiency with a chirp-inversion scheme. The pulse quality of the system's output is shown by generating high harmonics in ZnSe which span up to harmonic order 13 with excellent contrast. The combination of the passive carrier-envelope phase stable mid-infrared seed pulses and the high-energy 2052 nm picosecond pulses makes this compact system a key enabling tool for the next generation of studies on extreme photonics, strong field physics and table-top coherent X-ray science.
