description: This abstract delves into the pivotal role played by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) systems in mitigating the far-reaching impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on local communities, businesses, and nations. The unprecedented uncertainty introduced by the pandemic necessitated a spontaneous and coordinated global response to address the multifaceted challenges posed by the virus. This paper contends that the existence of robust and ever-ready ICT infrastructure systems played a crucial role in averting a more disastrous outcome, highlighting their instrumental contribution compared to the development and deployment timeline of vaccines.

The narrative unfolds by emphasizing the unparalleled challenges that COVID-19 posed to the world, prompting a need for swift and effective measures to curtail its spread and impact. The argument pivots on the notion that the immediate and global nature of the crisis required a rapid response mechanism, and ICT systems emerged as a pre-existing, adaptable, and globally interconnected solution.

Contrasting the time-consuming development of vaccines, the paper underscores how the ever-ready nature of ICT systems facilitated real-time communication, data exchange, and resource mobilization. The global catastrophe of COVID-19 revealed the resilience of ICT infrastructure, acting as a linchpin in crisis management by enabling remote work, facilitating healthcare delivery, and supporting information dissemination.

In conclusion, this abstract asserts that the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic would have been significantly more calamitous without the agility and readiness of ICT systems. The immediacy of their response stands in stark contrast to the time-consuming development and distribution of vaccines, highlighting the critical role played by technology in navigating and mitigating the impact of unprecedented global crises.

description: We introduce the notion of noncommutative complex spheres with partial commutation relations for the coordinates. We compute the corresponding quantum symmetry groups of these spheres, and this yields new quantum unitary groups with partial commutation relations. We also discuss some geometric aspects of the quantum orthogonal groups associated with the mixture of classical and free independence discovered by Speicher and Weber. We show that these quantum groups are quantum symmetry groups on some quantum spaces of spherical vectors with partial commutation relations.

description: The high temperature behaviour of the open bosonic string free energy in the space $S^1 \otimes H^N$ with vanishingly small curvature is investigated. The leading term of the high temperature expansion of the one-loop free energy, near the Hagedorn instability, is obtained. The problem of infrared regularization of thermodynamical quantities is pointed out. For minimally coupling quantum fields related to the normal modes of strings, the results are similar to the ones valid for Rindler space. In the lower mass string states regime a connection with the quantum corrections to the black hole entropy is outlined.

Video Processing Acceleration using Reconfigurable Logic and Graphics Processors
Creators: name: Cope, Benjamin Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: A vexing question is `which architecture will prevail as the core feature of the next state of the art video processing system?' This thesis examines the substitutive and collaborative use of the two alternatives of the reconfigurable logic and graphics processor architectures. A structured approach to executing architecture comparison is presented - this includes a proposed `Three Axes of Algorithm Characterisation' scheme and a formulation of perfor- mance drivers. The approach is an appealing platform for clearly defining the problem, assumptions and results of a comparison. In this work it is used to resolve the advanta- geous factors of the graphics processor and reconfigurable logic for video processing, and the conditions determining which one is superior. The comparison results prompt the exploration of the customisable options for the graphics processor architecture. To clearly define the architectural design space, the graphics processor is first identifed as part of a wider scope of homogeneous multi-processing element (HoMPE) architectures. A novel exploration tool is described which is suited to the investigation of the customisable op- tions of HoMPE architectures. The tool adopts a systematic exploration approach and a high-level parameterisable system model, and is used to explore pre- and post-fabrication customisable options for the graphics processor. A positive result of the exploration is the proposal of a reconfigurable engine for data access (REDA) to optimise graphics processor performance for video processing-specific memory access patterns. REDA demonstrates the viability of the use of reconfigurable logic as collaborative `glue logic' in the graphics processor architecture.
An evaluation of NOM precursors and bromide ion in the formation of haloacetic acids (HAAs) in water treatment
Creators: name: Huang, Jin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Haloacetic acids (HAAs) are a group of disinfection by-products (DBPs) found in drinking water which are regulated in the USA but not yet in the EU. Epidemiology tests have shown that they may have carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on human beings. HAAs are produced during the disinfection process from the use of chlorination and they may persist during water distribution and finally reach the customers’ tap at concentrations of concern. The formation of HAAs arises from the reaction between precursor material – principally natural organic matter (NOM) – and chlorine, and the species and amount of HAAs produced depends on the nature of the NOM and the reaction conditions, such as the temperature, chlorine dose, pH, and the presence of bromide. NOM is a heterogeneous mixture of numerous organic molecules originating from aquagenic and pedogenic sources, and its content changes significantly with water source, and temporarily for a given water source. Due to the complex properties of NOM, no conclusive connections have been established between the properties of precursor materials and HAA formation (compound yield or individual species distribution). The thesis provides details of a new-developed fractionation method that has been used to characterise NOM obtained from natural waters. This method can effectively reveal the effect of seasonal variation and traditional treatment on NOM properties. The reactivity of each organic fraction in terms of HAA formation, seasonal variation and treatment efficiency has also been studied and is discussed in the thesis. Algae represent an important component of NOM, and as such algae species can also be responsible for the formation of HAAs. The thesis describes an extensive study of two prominent algae species in terms of their role in producing trihalomethane (THM) and HAA compounds, and their productivity in comparison with other organic precursors. Finally, the presence of bromide ion in source water leads to formation of brominated HAA species during chlorination which are believed to be of greater toxicological significance than non-brominated species. This thesis summarises an experimental investigation of the fundamental role of bromide in HAA formation and the relationship with initial NOM concentration and chlorine dose.
Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy for protein analysis
Creators: name: Gardner, Elizabeth Mary
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: A number of forms of coherent multi-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy (CMDVS) have been identified as being useful for addressing a range of biological problems. Here a particular member of this family of spectroscopies, electronvibration- vibration two-dimensional infrared (EVV 2DIR) spectroscopy (also known as DOubly-Vibrationally Enhanced InfraRed (DOVE-IR)), is explored for its possible utility for two particular bioanalytical applications; protein identification and the study of enzyme mechanisms. The main focus of this work is on the development of EVV 2DIR as a tool for high-throughput, label-free proteomics, in particular for protein identification and absolute quantification. The protein fingerprinting strategy is based on the identification of proteins through their spectroscopically determined amino acid compositions. To this end, spectral signatures of amino acid side chains (tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan) have been identified, as well as those from CH2 and CH3 groups which have been found to be appropriate for use as internal references. The intensities of these cross peaks are measured to give proteins’ amino acid compositions in the form of amino acid / CHx ratios. Specialised databases comprising the amino acid / CHx ratios of proteins have been developed for achieving protein identifications using the EVV 2DIR data. The second strand of this research considers the potential of triply resonant EVV 2DIR for studying protein structures and mechanisms. It is possible to use the electronic polarising properties of EVV 2DIR to good effect to achieve significant enhancement of the signal size when probing a chromophore. Here this effect is demonstrated for the case of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) membranes isolated from Halobacterium salinarium. The signal enhancement that is achievable from the retinal chromophore at the heart of bR makes it possible to study this whilst avoiding the surrounding protein.

Regulation and localisation of PSP proteins in E-Coli
Creators: name: Engl, Christoph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The phage shock protein (Psp) response is found in many Gram-negative enterobacteria, where it helps to maintain the proton motive force (PMF) when the integrity of the inner membrane (IM) is impaired and promotes virulence of pathogens such as Yersinia or Salmonella. In Escherichia coli, Psp comprises seven genes (pspF pspABCDE and pspG) which are organised in a regulon under the control of two Sigma54-dependent promoters. Despite considerable advances, neither the mechanism of Psp induction nor the functioning of the Psp response is fully understood. Recent findings comparing the roles of ArcB in Yersinia enterocolitica and E. coli caused a dispute over the requirement of the twocomponent system ArcAB in Psp signal-transduction. The present study now establishes that ArcAB involvement is conditional and appears to be mediated via protein-protein interactions between ArcB and PspB. The study further suggests that the cellular ubiquinone pool, which acts upstream of ArcAB, may also play a role in Psp signalling whereas dissipation of proton motive force (PMF), generally inferred to be the inducing signal, is not sufficient to mount a Psp response. To gain further insight into its functioning, PspA (a negative regulator and effector of Psp) and PspG (an effector of Psp) were visualised in vivo using fusions to Green fluorescent protein (GFP). To maintain PMF, PspA was proposed to uniformly cover the cytoplasmic face of the IM. However, the present study demonstrates that PspA (and PspG) is highly organised into distinct complexes at the cell pole and the lateral cell membrane. Real-time observations revealed lateral PspA and PspG complexes are highly mobile, but absent in cells lacking MreB. Without the MreB cytoskeleton, induction of the Psp response is still observed, yet these cells fail to maintain PMF under stress conditions.

description: Quantization plays a critical role in digital signal processing systems. Quantizers are typically designed to obtain an accurate digital representation of the input signal, operating independently of the system task, and are commonly implemented using serial scalar analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In this work, we study hardware-limited task-based quantization, where a system utilizing a serial scalar ADC is designed to provide a suitable representation in order to allow the recovery of a parameter vector underlying the input signal. We propose hardware-limited task-based quantization systems for a fixed and finite quantization resolution, and characterize their achievable distortion. We then apply the analysis to the practical setups of channel estimation and eigen-spectrum recovery from quantized measurements. Our results illustrate that properly designed hardware-limited systems can approach the optimal performance achievable with vector quantizers, and that by taking the underlying task into account, the quantization error can be made negligible with a relatively small number of bits.
Discrete Anomaly and Dynamical Mass in 2+1 dimensional $U(1)_V\times U(1)_A$ Model

description: We note that in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories with even number of massless fermions, there is anomalous $Z_2$ symmetry if theory is regularized in a parity-invariant way. We then consider a parity invariant $U(1)_V\times U(1)_A$ model, which induces a mutual Chern-Simons term in the effective action due to $Z_2$ anomaly. The effect of the discrete anomaly is studied in the induced spin and in the dynamical fermion mass.

Profile-directed specialisation of custom floating-point hardware
Creators: name: Brown, Ashley W.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: We present a methodology for generating floating-point arithmetic hardware designs which are, for suitable applications, much reduced in size, while still retaining performance and IEEE-754 compliance. Our system uses three key parts: a profiling tool, a set of customisable floating-point units and a selection of system integration methods. We use a profiling tool for floating-point behaviour to identify arithmetic operations where fundamental elements of IEEE-754 floating-point may be compromised, without generating erroneous results in the common case. In the uncommon case, we use simple detection logic to determine when operands lie outside the range of capabilities of the optimised hardware. Out-of-range operations are handled by a separate, fully capable, floatingpoint implementation, either on-chip or by returning calculations to a host processor. We present methods of system integration to achieve this errorcorrection. Thus the system suffers no compromise in IEEE-754 compliance, even when the synthesised hardware would generate erroneous results. In particular, we identify from input operands the shift amounts required for input operand alignment and post-operation normalisation. For operations where these are small, we synthesise hardware with reduced-size barrel-shifters. We also propose optimisations to take advantage of other profile-exposed behaviours, including removing the hardware required to swap operands in a floating-point adder or subtractor, and reducing the exponent range to fit observed values. We present profiling results for a range of applications, including a selection of computational science programs, Spec FP 95 benchmarks and the FFMPEG media processing tool, indicating which would be amenable to our method. Selected applications which demonstrate potential for optimisation are then taken through to a hardware implementation. We show up to a 45% decrease in hardware size for a floating-point datapath, with a correctable error-rate of less then 3%, even with non-profiled datasets.
Transmission dynamics and control of trachoma
Creators: name: Blake, Isobel M
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Trachoma continues to be the leading cause of infectious blindness. Mass administration of antibiotics is part of the current control effort, an approach which is costly when drugs are not donated. Trachoma has been shown to cluster by household and therefore this unit could be a means to target treatment. This thesis shows that active inflammatory disease is a more sensitive marker of infection within an individual’s household than just in that individual. The potential impact of a more efficient, targeted treatment of households with at least one member with active disease depends on the relative contributions of community and household transmission of infection. A mathematical model of the household transmission of ocular Chlamydia trachomatis was fitted to detailed demographic and prevalence data from four endemic populations, two in The Gambia and two in Tanzania. Maximum likelihood estimates of the household and community transmission coefficients were obtained. The estimated household transmission coefficient exceeded both the community transmission coefficient and the rate of clearance of infection by individuals in three of the study populations, indicating persistent transmission of infection within households. Allowing children and adults to have a different duration of infection improved the fit of the model to the data in three populations. For a given level of treatment coverage, targeting antibiotics to households with active disease was predicted to have similar post‐treatment dynamics to those observed after mass treatment but to be much more drug sparing. Using available cost data this approach was shown to be more cost effective when antibiotics are not donated. If targeting increases treatment coverage of diseased households, it was found to be more effective and more cost‐effective than mass treatment even if antibiotics are donated. Further work is now required to explore the feasibility of incorporating household targeted treatment into trachoma control programmes.

description: Ground-state properties of neutron-rich $N \approx 28$ nuclei are described in the framework of Relativistic Hartree Bogoliubov (RHB) theory. The model uses the NL3 effective interaction in the mean-field Lagrangian, and describes pairing correlations by the pairing part of the finite range Gogny interaction D1S. Two-neutron separation energies and ground-state quadrupole deformations that result from fully self-consistent RHB solutions, are compared with available experimental data. The model predicts a strong suppression of the spherical N=28 shell gap for neutron-rich nuclei: the $1f7/2 \to fp$ core breaking results in deformed ground states. Shape coexistence is expected for neutron-rich Si, S and Ar isotopes.

description: In many physical experiments and applications with photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), high-speed pulse digitalization is used extensively. The current pulse from a PMT has a rising time of several to a hundred nanoseconds. The current pulse shape can be used to obtain the pulse energy and discriminate between different particles. The conventional readout system with a PMT uses the discrete or integrated pulse-shaping circuits and analogue-to-digital converter boards which are based on the NIM or VME system to implement the data acquisition function. In many applications, such as security instruments, there are only several PMTs used in the whole system, or in some distributed applications, long-distance analogue cable with high-voltage power cable is not applicable due to the tremendous number of channels and enormous distributed space. In this paper, an integrated digitizer base is designed and interfaced with a Cs2LiYCl6 (CLYC) scintillator with a PMT. The CLYC scintillator has the ability to realize the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) between the neutron and gamma-rays. There is only one Gigabit of unscreened twisted-pair cable needed for over 700 Mbps TCP data throughput and more than 10 W power. The boards of high voltage supply, current sensitive preamplifier, 500 MSPS/12-Bit ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), readout module based on ZYNQ SoC (System on Chip), power over Ethernet, and user interface circuits are stacked with board-to-board connectors. The system can achieve 4.6% gamma-ray energy resolution at 662 keV with a 20-μs pulse integral and PSD figure-of-merit of ~3.0 for the whole energy of neutrons and gamma-rays. This integrated digitizer base can also be interfaced with other detectors with a PMT.

The novel membrane enhanced peptide synthesis process
Creators: name: So, Sheung Wang Jerry
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: In this research project we investigated the feasibility of incorporating organic solvent nanofiltration techniques with peptide synthesis and developed the Membrane Enhanced Peptide Synthesis process – the MEPS process. Two membranes had been identified to be applicable for the MEPS process to separate the peptide building block from post reaction waste. These are the commercially available Inopor ZrO2/Al2O3 hydrophobic membrane and the cross-linked polyimide membrane that had been fabricated in our laboratory. Two penta-peptides were synthesized on a soluble polymeric support to demonstrate the principle of MEPS process. The purity and yields of these penta-peptides were excellent when compared with one synthesized using the Liquid Phase Peptide Synthesis (LPPS) and Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) processes. To improve the quality and supply of membrane for the MEPS process a number of membrane fabrication parameters were investigated. This investigation demonstrated ways of manipulating the performance of the cross-linked polyimide membrane which gives engineers the opportunity to tailor make polymeric membrane to meet the requirement of the MEPS process. This membrane optimisation provides the MEPS process with a constant supply of reproducible membrane and allows this process to be further developed into a highly repeatable process. Other soluble polymeric support products were also been investigated in an attempt to avoid product contamination by PEGylated waste. Peptide chains were built onto a degradable polymeric support and once the desired peptide sequence had completed, the polymeric support was then completely hydrolysed in acid to obtain a high purity peptide product. Results showed this simple idea was not as straight forward to perform as expected. It demonstrated that the idea was possible and has great potential but further development is required. A number of recommendations have been suggested for further improvement and optimisation of this newly developed MEPS process. Not only these are related to the enhancement of the membrane stability, improvement in peptide crude purity and product yield, but also other potential applications of the MEPS principle.

description: Using the string field theory recently proposed by the authors and collaborators, we give a background independent formulation of rational noncritical string theories with $c\leq 1$. With a little modification of the string field Hamiltonians previously constructed, we obtain string field theories which include various rational noncritical string theories as classical backgrounds.

Standard Model Neutrinos as Warm Dark Matter

description: Standard Model neutrinos are not usually considered plausible dark matter candidates because the usual treatment of their decoupling in the early universe implies that their mass must be sufficiently small to make them ``hot'' dark matter. In this paper we show that decoupling of Standard Model neutrinos in low reheat models may result in neutrino densities very much less than usually assumed, and thus their mass may be in the keV range. Standard Model neutrinos may therefore be warm dark matter candidates.

Atmospheric Circulation of Brown Dwarfs and Jupiter and Saturn-like Planets: Zonal Jets, Long-term Variability, and QBO-type Oscillations
Creators: name: Showman, Adam P.

description: Brown dwarfs and directly imaged giant planets exhibit significant evidence for active atmospheric circulation, which induces a large-scale patchiness in the cloud structure that evolves significantly over time, as evidenced by infrared light curves and Doppler maps. These observations raise critical questions about the fundamental nature of the circulation, its time variability, and the overall relationship to the circulation on Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter and Saturn themselves exhibit numerous robust zonal (east-west) jet streams at the cloud level; moreover, both planets exhibit long-term stratospheric oscillations involving perturbations of zonal wind and temperature that propagate downward over time on timescales of ~4 years (Jupiter) and ~15 years (Saturn). These oscillations, dubbed the Quasi Quadrennial Oscillation (QQO) for Jupiter and the Semi-Annual Oscillation (SAO) on Saturn, are thought to be analogous to the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) on Earth, which is driven by upward propagation of equatorial waves from the troposphere. To investigate these issues, we here present global, three-dimensional, high-resolution numerical simulations of the flow in the stratified atmosphere--overlying the convective interior--of brown dwarfs and Jupiter-like planets. The effect of interior convection is parameterized by inducing small-scale, randomly varying perturbations in the radiative-convective boundary at the base of the model. In the simulations, the convective perturbations generate atmospheric waves and turbulence that interact with the rotation to produce numerous zonal jets. Moreover, the equatorial stratosphere exhibits stacked eastward and westward jets that migrate downward over time, exactly as occurs in the terrestrial QBO, Jovian QQO, and Saturnian SAO. This is the first demonstration of a QBO-like phenomenon in 3D numerical simulations of a giant planet.
description: 27 pages, 15 figures, in press at ApJ; this is the revised (accepted) version, which includes a major new section providing detailed analysis of the types of wave modes present in the model, and characterizing the wave-mean-flow interactions by which they generate the QBO-like oscillations

On final conditions in high energy heavy ion collisions

description: Motivated by the recent experimental observations, we discuss the freeze-out properties of the fireball created in central heavy ion collisions. We find that the freeze-out conditions, like temperature, velocity gradient near center of the fireball, are similar for different colliding systems and beam energies. This means that the transverse flow is stronger in the collisions of heavy nuclei than that of the light ones.

Risk Assessment

description: For all activities funded by the European Union, ethics is an integral part of research from beginning to end, and so is ethical compliance. Ethical compliance can be achieved through the performance of an ethics assessment that should address the following issues: human embryos and foetuses, human beings, human cells or tissues, personal data, animals, non-EU countries, environment, health & safety, dual use, exclusive focus on civil applications, potential misuse of research results and any other ethics issues not included in this list. This report highlights the points to be taken into consideration while conducting such an assessment; Relevant questionnaires to the same end have been drafted and are provided to all project partners to be filed in and submitted, as appropriate.

Critical analysis of quark-meson coupling models for nuclear matter and finite nuclei

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Three versions of the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model are applied to describe properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The models differ in the treatment of the bag constant and in terms of nonlinear scalar self-interactions. As a consequence opposite predictions for the medium modifications of the internal nucleon structure arise. After calibrating the model parameters at equilibrium nuclear matter density, binding energies, charge radii, single-particle spectra and density distributions of spherical nuclei are analyzed and compared with QHD calculations. For the models which predict a decreasing size of the nucleon in the nuclear environment, unrealistic features of the nuclear shapes arise.

description: This paper presents an RDMA over Ethernet protocol used for data acquisition systems, currently under development at the ESRF. The protocol is implemented on Xilinx Ultrascale + FPGAs thanks to the 100G hard MAC IP. The proposed protocol is fairly compared with the well-known RoCE-V2 protocol using a commercial network adapter from Mellanox. Obtained results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm over RoCE-V2 in terms of data throughput. Performance tests on the 100G link show that it can reach a maximum stable link performance of 90 Gbps with minimum packets sizes greater than 1KB and 95Gbps for packet sizes greater than 32KB.

description: We discuss the rôle of quantum deformation of Weyl-Heisenberg algebra in dissipative systems and finite temperature systems. We express the time evolution generator of the damped harmonic oscillator and the generator of thermal Bogolubov transformations in terms of operators of the quantum Weyl-Heisenberg algebra. The quantum parameter acts as a label for the unitarily inequivalent representations of the canonical commutation relations in which the space of the states splits in the infinite volume limit.
