Towards a data-driven personalised management of Atopic Dermatitis severity
Creators: name: Hurault, Guillem
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Atopic Dermatitis (AD, eczema) is a common inflammatory skin disease, characterised by dry and itchy skin. AD cannot be cured, but its long-term outcomes can be managed with treatments. Given the heterogeneity in patients' responses to treatment, designing personalised rather than ``one-size-fits-all" treatment strategies is of high clinical relevance. In this thesis, we aim to pave the way towards a data-driven personalised management of AD severity, whereby severity data would be collected automatically from photographs without the need for patients to visit a clinic, be used to predict the evolution of AD severity, and generate personalised treatment recommendations. First, we developed EczemaNet, a computer vision pipeline using convolution neural networks that detects areas of AD from photographs and then makes probabilistic assessments of AD severity. EczemaNet was internally validated with a medium-size dataset of images collected in a published clinical trial and demonstrated fair performance. Then, we developed models predicting the daily to weekly evolution of AD severity. We highlighted the challenges of extracting signals from noisy severity data, with small and practically not significant effects of environmental factors and biomarkers on prediction. We showed the importance of using high-quality measurements of validated and objective (vs subjective) severity scores. We also stressed the importance of modelling individual severity items rather than aggregate scores, and introduced EczemaPred, a principled approach to predict AD severity using Bayesian state-space models. Our models are flexible by design, interpretable and can quantify uncertainty in measurements, parameters and predictions. The models demonstrated good performance to predict the Patient-Oriented SCOring AD (PO-SCORAD). Finally, we generated personalised treatment recommendations using Bayesian decision analysis. We observed that treatment effects and recommendations could be confounded by the clinical phenotype of patients. We also pretrained our model using historical data and combined clinical and self-assessments. In conclusion, we have demonstrated the feasibility and the challenges of a data-driven personalised management of AD severity.

description: For calculation of the single-channel nucleon-nucleon scattering a phase-functions method has been proposed. Using a phase-functions method the following phase shifts of np- scattering numerically for 1S0-, 1P1-, 3P0-, 3P1-, 1D2-, 3D2-, 1F3-, 3F3-, 1G4-, 3G4- states are calculated. The calculations has been performed using realistic nucleon-nucleon Reid68 and Reid93 potentials. Obtained phase shifts for energy up to 350 MeV are in good agreement with the results obtained in the framework of other methods. Using the obtained phase shifts we have calculated the full cross-section np- scattering.

Development of Additive Manufacturing Phytocompatible Hydrogels for Potential Use in Soilless Cultivation
Creators: name: Kalossaka, Livia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Novel soilless cultivation techniques are required to provide a solution to the growing food demand. The increase in land desertification coupled to climate change is an opportunity to develop efficient and superior soilless substrates. Hydrogels are suitable materials for plant growth due to their unique tunable transport properties, capability of holding large amounts of water and high degree of biocompatibility. Thanks to these properties, hydrogels have been used in a variety of of biomedical and engineering applications, ranging from drug delivery to wastewater treatment and soft robotics. In particular, it has also been shown that the use of additive manufacturing can be used to fabricate hydrogels with user-defined architectures and controllable biological functions. This thesis aims to develop a phytocompatible hydrogel suitable for additive manufacturing to mimic soil features and properties. This could be achieved via the development of techniques by which self-supporting hydrogels with complex designs ranging from μm to cm can be obtained. Material extrusion and vat polymerisation 3D printing processes are investigated depending upon the type of material, the conditions required for printing and the desired final resolution. However, the development of printable formulations which are phytocompatible is not widely explored in the literature. This thesis describes the development of novel phytocompatible formulations which can be used for both material extrusion and vat polymerisation processes. In addition, due to the lack of fully biocompatible fabrication techniques, a novel visible light printer is proposed. Optimization processes are presented for each printing technology which are beneficial for the wider research community. Overall, for the first time, this thesis demonstrates the possibility to fabricate a phytocompatible hydrogel with complex 3D printable designs. A series of tests is conducted to create fully perfusable channels with a minimum channel width of 250 μm. The fabrication of an architecturally complex structure demonstrates an increased bioreceptivity with respect to a solid gel. Long term plant growth is proven on selected materials to evidence the future possibility of using 3D printed hydrogels for soilless cultivation.

description: We consider the problem of estimating multiple phases using a multi-mode interferometer. In this setting we show that while global strategies with multi-mode entanglement can lead to high precision gains, the same precision enhancements can be obtained with mode-separable states and local measurements. The crucial resource for quantum enhancement is shown to be a large number variance in the probe state, which can be obtained without any entanglement between the modes. This has important practical implications because local strategies using separable states have many advantages over global schemes using multi-mode-entangled states. Such advantages include a robustness to local estimation failure, more flexibility in the distribution of resources, and comparatively easier state preparation. We obtain our results by analyzing two different schemes: the first uses a set of interferometers, which can be used as a model for a network of quantum sensors, and the second looks at measuring a number of phases relative to a reference, which is concerned primarily with quantum imaging.

description: We present the ALMA Band 3 and Band 6 results of 12CO(2-1), 13$CO(2-1), H30alpha recombination line, free-free emission around 98 GHz, and the dust thermal emission around 230 GHz toward the N159 East Giant Molecular Cloud (N159E) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). LMC is the nearest active high-mass star forming face-on galaxy at a distance of 50 kpc and is the best target for studing high-mass star formation. ALMA observations show that N159E is the complex of filamentary clouds with the width and length of ~1 pc and 5 pc - 10 pc, respectively. The total molecular mass is 0.92 x 10^5 Msun from the 13CO(2-1) intensity. N159E harbors the well-known Papillon Nebula, a compact high-excitation HII region. We found that a YSO associated with the Papillon Nebula has the mass of 35 Msun and is located at the intersection of three filamentary clouds. It indicates that the formation of the high-mass YSO was induced by the collision of filamentary clouds. Fukui et al. 2015 reported a similar kinematic structure toward a YSO in the N159 West region which is another YSO that has the mass larger than 35 Msun in these two regions. This suggests that the collision of filamentary clouds is a primary mechanism of high-mass star formation. We found a small molecular hole around the YSO in Papillon Nebula with sub-pc scale. It is filled by free-free and H30alpha emission. Temperature of the molecular gas around the hole reaches ~ 80 K. It indicates that this YSO has just started the distruction of parental molecular cloud.

description: In this work we provide a thorough examination of the nonlinear dielectric properties of a succinonitrile-glutaronitrile mixture, representing one of the rare example of a plastic crystal with fragile glassy dynamics. The detected alteration of the complex dielectric permittivity under high fields can be explained considering the heterogeneous nature of glassy dynamics and a field-induced variation of entropy. While the first mechanism was also found in structural glass formers, the latter effect seems to be typical for plastic crystals. Morover, the third harmonic component of the dielectric susceptibility is reported, revealing a spectral shape as predicted for cooperative molecular dynamics. In accord with the fragile nature of the glass transition in this plastic crystal, we deduce a relatively strong temperature dependence of the number of correlated molecules, in contrast to the much weaker temperature dependence in plastic-crystalline cyclo-octanol, whose glass transition is of strong nature.

Cross-correlation of the cosmic 21-cm signal and Lyman Alpha Emitters during reionization

description: Interferometry of the cosmic 21-cm signal is set to revolutionize our understanding of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), eventually providing 3D maps of the early Universe. Initial detections however will be low signal-to-noise, limited by systematics. To confirm a putative 21-cm detection, and check the accuracy of 21-cm data analysis pipelines, it would be very useful to cross-correlate against a genuine cosmological signal. The most promising cosmological signals are wide-field maps of Lyman alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs), expected from the Subaru Hyper-Suprime Cam (HSC) Ultra-Deep field. Here we present estimates of the correlation between LAE maps at z~7 and the 21-cm signal observed by both the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) and the planned Square Kilometer Array Phase 1 (SKA1). We adopt a systematic approach, varying both: (i) the prescription of assigning LAEs to host halos; and (ii) the large-scale structure of neutral and ionized regions (i.e. EoR morphology). We find that the LAE-21cm cross-correlation is insensitive to (i), thus making it a robust probe of the EoR. A 1000h observation with LOFAR would be sufficient to discriminate at >1 standard deviation a fully ionized Universe from one with a mean neutral fraction of xHI~0.50, using the LAE-21cm cross-correlation function on scales of R~3-10 Mpc. Unlike LOFAR, whose detection of the LAE-21cm cross-correlation is limited by noise, SKA1 is mostly limited by ignorance of the EoR morphology. However, the planned 100h wide-field SKA1-Low survey will be sufficient to discriminate an ionized Universe from one with xHI~0.25, even with maximally pessimistic assumptions.

description: Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are genetically inherited neurological diseases characterised by the distal axonal degeneration of corticospinal neurons. Of the 80 genes currently associated with HSP, mutations in SPAST, encoding the protein spastin, are by far the most common cause of pathology. Spastin functions as a microtubule remodelling enzyme by using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis by its ATPase domain. The location of this activity is governed by spastin’s localisation domains which mediate recruitment to membrane sites including endosomes and the ER. In this thesis I aimed to elucidate the function of spastin at these sites, as well as to analyse the resulting effects on the cell surface proteome. Through this work, I have shown that spastin functions to mediate the fission of endosomal recycling tubule and have confirmed spastin’s localisation to ER exit sites, but show using synchronised secretion assays that spastin is dispensable for generalised cargo secretion of at least 2 classes of secretory cargo. Finally, through quantitative cell surface proteomics, I show that mutation of spastin’s ATPase domain induces substantial remodelling of the cell surface proteome, and through this have generated a list of pathological candidates whose change in surface abundance could drive the pathogenicity of spastin-HSP.

description: The research of coins plays an important role when it comes to the enlightenment of our history, since coins can give us an idea of the time period they were used in. Additionally, if we know where the coin was made and where it was found, we can also learn about the mobility of people during that time. The development of tools that researchers can use thereby plays an important role in driving the development of the field forward, which is the aim of the research project D4N4(Data quality for Numismatics based on Natural language processing and Neural Networks). This thesis deals with the optimization of a Natural Language Processing pipeline which is used to create RDF data. The RDF data is being generated from a database belonging to the D4N4 research project and houses information for about 50.000 coins. Currently, the execution of the pipeline is tied to manual work and relies on the D2RQ program to create the RDF data. In order to optimize the pipeline, this thesis introduces a revised version which removes the manual executions of the previous version and through a new script, written in Python using the libraries RDFLib and MySQL.connector, removes the dependence on the D2RQ program when it comes to the creation of RDF data. The execution of the overall pipeline is handled by a Jupyter notebook and only requires the user to specify the coins via an id and start the script. As a result, the new version offers a more convenient and faster way to create RDF data out of the database.

description: We present a new technique for transferring momentum and velocity between particles and grid with Particle-In-Cell (PIC) calculations which we call Affine-Particle-In-Cell (APIC). APIC represents particle velocities as locally affine, rather than locally constant as in traditional PIC. We show that this representation allows APIC to conserve linear and angular momentum across transfers while also dramatically reducing numerical diffusion usually associated with PIC. Notably, conservation is achieved with lumped mass, as opposed to the more commonly used Fluid Implicit Particle (FLIP) transfers which require a 'full' mass matrix for exact conservation. Furthermore, unlike FLIP, APIC retains a filtering property of the original PIC and thus does not accumulate velocity modes on particles as FLIP does. In particular, we demonstrate that APIC does not experience velocity instabilities that are characteristic of FLIP in a number of Material Point Method (MPM) hyperelasticity calculations. Lastly, we demonstrate that when combined with the midpoint rule for implicit update of grid momentum that linear and angular momentum are exactly conserved.

description: Sunspots on the surface of the Sun are the observational signatures of intense manifestations of tightly packed magnetic field lines, with near-vertical field strengths exceeding 6,000 G in extreme cases. It is well accepted that both the plasma density and the magnitude of the magnetic field strength decrease rapidly away from the solar surface, making high-cadence coronal measurements through traditional Zeeman and Hanle effects difficult since the observational signatures are fraught with low-amplitude signals that can become swamped with instrumental noise. Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) techniques have previously been applied to coronal structures, with single and spatially isolated magnetic field strengths estimated as 9-55 G. A drawback with previous MHD approaches is that they rely on particular wave modes alongside the detectability of harmonic overtones. Here we show, for the first time, how omnipresent magneto-acoustic waves, originating from within the underlying sunspot and propagating radially outwards, allow the spatial variation of the local coronal magnetic field to be mapped with high precision. We find coronal magnetic field strengths of 32 +/- 5 G above the sunspot, which decrease rapidly to values of approximately 1 G over a lateral distance of 7000 km, consistent with previous isolated and unresolved estimations. Our results demonstrate a new, powerful technique that harnesses the omnipresent nature of sunspot oscillations to provide magnetic field mapping capabilities close to a magnetic source in the solar corona.

description: This document is associated with the article Bird, Jackson, and Winston (2023). Confronting Scientific Racism in Psychology: Lessons from Evolutionary Biology and Genetics. American Psychologist. https://doi.org/10.1037/amp0001228  Since 2012, over 350 journal articles and books claim, either in whole or in part, that folk racial classifications are biologically meaningful categories and that racial differences in intelligence test scores, educational attainment, income, and crime partly or even primarily originate from genetic differences between those races. Some psychologists claim that the differences between White Europeans and Black Africans or African Americans are highly resistant to change, and result from evolved differences in brain size, testosterone, and reproductive strategies produced by natural selection. We refer to this body of work as “racial hereditarian research” or RHR. This Upload includes a bibliography of racial hereditarian research works which argue for all, or part, of RHR since 2012. Works which use “national differences,” skin reflectance, continent, or latitude as proxies for race are included. We chose 2012 as that starting date because that was the year that two of the most prolific RHR psychologists, Arthur Jensen and Philippe Rushton, died. The few references that pre-date 2012 are quoted in our paper and are included here for convenience.

description: The pathways through which primates acquire skills are a central focus of cultural evolution studies. The roles of social and genetic inheritance processes in skill acquisition are often confounded by environmental factors. Hybrid macaques from Koram Island, Thailand provide an opportunity to examine the roles of inheritance and social learning to skill acquisition within a single ecological setting. These hybrids are a cross between tool-using Burmese long-tailed (Macaca fascicularis aurea) and non-tool-using common long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis fascicularis). This population provides an opportunity to explore the roles of social learning and inheritance processes while being able to exclude underlying ecological factors. Here, we investigate the roles of social learning and inheritance in tool use prevalence within this population using social network analysis and simulation. Agent-based modelling (ABM) is used to generate expectations for how social/asocial learning and inheritance structure the patterning in a social network. The results of the simulation show that various transmission mechanisms can be differentiated based on associations between individuals in a social network. The results provide an investigative framework for discussing tool-use transmission pathways in the Koram social network. By combining ABM, network analysis, and behavioural data from the field we can investigate the roles social learning and inheritance play in tool acquisition of wild primates.

description: The aim of this document is to describe activities of VALKYRIES project task T7.6, which led to the execution of demonstration based on Use Case (UC) 2 – Cross-border response to the disaster containing the spread of toxic substances. Exercise scenario creates the prerequisites for multi-casualty incident (MCI) as well as the emergency situation represents a cross-border threat. It reflects the need for collaboration of several responding units within response action, so the exercise was multi-agency and also cross-border oriented. Scenario is based on real cases and issues Slovakia is facing with. Fire of landfill was chosen as one of the most often and tricky at the same time and placed close to the border with Austria. Due to the fact, that there is no partner from Austria, for the purpose of the project it is simulated, that it is the border with Italy (instead of Austria). Implemented exercise served as tool to test selected tools, procedures and generally opportunities identified during the previous project activities. Evaluation and validation methodology was prepared within the project also and was applied. Captured date are used for dissemination and exploitation of the project results.

description: This document is associated with the article Bird, Jackson, and Winston (2023). Confronting Scientific Racism in Psychology: Lessons from Evolutionary Biology and Genetics. American Psychologist. https://doi.org/10.1037/amp0001228  Since 2012, over 350 journal articles and books claim, either in whole or in part, that folk racial classifications are biologically meaningful categories and that racial differences in intelligence test scores, educational attainment, income, and crime partly or even primarily originate from genetic differences between those races. Some psychologists claim that the differences between White Europeans and Black Africans or African Americans are highly resistant to change, and result from evolved differences in brain size, testosterone, and reproductive strategies produced by natural selection. We refer to this body of work as “racial hereditarian research” or RHR. This Upload includes a bibliography of critical responses to racial hereditarian research with articles, chapters, and books which critique RHR psychology appearing since 1985. The starting year of 1985 was chosen as the year of Philippe Rushton’s first statement of his theory of racial differences in a psychology journal:

description: Type I X-ray bursts and superbursts from accreting neutron stars illuminate the accretion disk and produce a reflection signal that evolves as the burst fades. Examining the evolution of reflection features in the spectra will give insight into the burst-disk interaction, a potentially powerful probe of accretion disk physics. At present, reflection has been observed during only two bursts of exceptional duration. We investigate the detectability of reflection signatures with four of the latest well-studied X-ray observatory concepts: Hitomi, NICER, Athena, and LOFT. Burst spectra are modeled for different values for the flux, temperature, and the disk ionization parameter, which are representative for most known bursts and sources. The effective area and through-put of a Hitomi-like telescope are insufficient for characterizing burst reflection features. NICER and Athena will detect reflection signatures in Type I bursts with peak fluxes $\ge 10^{-7.5}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, and also effectively constrain the reflection parameters for bright bursts with fluxes of $10^{-7}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ in exposures of several seconds. Thus, these observatories will provide crucial new insight into the interaction of accretion flows and X-ray bursts. For sources with low line-of-sight absorption, the wide band-pass of these instruments allows for the detection of soft X-ray reflection features, which are sensitive to the disk metallicity and density. The large collecting area that is part of the LOFT design would revolutionize the field by tracing the evolution of the accretion geometry in detail throughout short bursts.

description: Common resources are often over-exploited and appear subject to critical transitions from one stable state to another antagonistic state. Many times resulting in tragedy of the commons (TOC)—exploitation of shared resources for personal gain/payoffs, leading to worse outcomes or extinction. An adequate response would be strategic interaction, such as inspection and punishment by institutions to avoid TOC. This strategic interaction is often coupled with dynamically changing common resources. However, effect of strategic interaction in complex, coupled socio-ecological systems (SESs) is less studied. Here, we develop replicator equations using evolving games in which strategy and common resources co-evolve. We consider the shared commons as fish dynamics governed by the intrinsic growth rate, predation and harvesting. The joint dynamics exhibit an oscillatory tragedy of the commons, revealing that institutions need to pay special attention to intrinsic growth rate and nonlinear interaction. Our research shows that the co-evolving system exhibits a broader range of dynamics when predation is present compared to the disengaged fishery system. We conclude that the usefulness, chances and challenges of modelling co-evolutionary games to create sustainable systems merit further research.

description: In this work, different nanocrystalline metals and alloys were investigated by a synchrotron-based in situ XRD mechanical testing technique in order to investigate the dominant deformation mechanisms. All tested samples show a succession and coexistence of several mechanisms, regardless of grain size, loading condition, or sample geometry. However, the relative shares of the individual mechanisms strongly vary and depend on parameters such as grain size, sample purity, and alloy composition.

description: Breather solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) are known to be considered as backbone models for extreme events in the ocean as well as in Kerr media. These exact determinisitic rogue wave (RW) prototypes on a regular background describe a wide-range of modulation instability configurations. Alternatively, oceanic or electromagnetic wave fields can be of chaotic nature and it is known that RWs may develop in such conditions as well. We report an experimental study confirming that extreme localizations in an irregular oceanic JONSWAP wave field can be tracked back to originate from exact NLSE breather solutions, such as the Peregrine breather. Numerical NLSE as well as modified NLSE simulations are both in good agreement with laboratory experiments and highlight the significance of universal weakly nonlinear evolution equations in the emergence as well as prediction of extreme events in nonlinear dispersive media.
