Morphological prospection: Profiling the shapes of things to come
Creators: name: Voros, Joseph
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, to describe in detail a particular sub-class of powerful prospective methods based on the method of “morphological analysis”. And second, to extend their use to create a basis for strengthening strategic analysis and policy development.The paper examines the history and use of morphological methods in foresight work, and briefly describes three main “lineages” currently in use, and proposes some extensions to models of practice. Recent research in cognitive psychology suggests that requiring a detailed and systematic examination of future possibilities before a decision is made leads to more effective assessments of futures. Morphological methods, by design and construction, are perfectly suited to this, and so can form an exceptionally strong basis for thinking systematically about the future. The paper also describes how to go about designing a foresighting capacity based on a systematic evaluation of future systemic contexts, as well as discussing what aspects of the external environment to include in robust competitive intelligence, strategic monitoring, environmental scanning, and 'horizon scanning' activities. The paper proposes some extensions to existing practice and describes some ways to tie the development of a strategic meta-language to clearly-targeted intelligence scanning. This paper should be of interest to anyone involved in trying to strengthen strategy development, policy planning or intelligence analysis.
Introducing a classification framework for prospective methods
Creators: name: Voros, Joseph
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this article is to examine the nature and type of methods used in futures studies and foresight work which are explicitly concerned with creating 'forward views' and/or 'images of the future' ('prospective' methods). A new analytical technique, 'mode-level analysis', is introduced and described, based on a classification of 'modes' of futures thinking and levels of 'depth' of interpretive frameworks. By choosing both a set of thinking modes and a series of interpretive levels as a basis, prospective methods may be analyzed in terms of which with or at mode(s) and what level(s) they operate. Two modes of thinking and five levels of depth are chosen for this analysis. The resulting schema is used to classify such methods as: wildcards, forecasting, 'trend breaks', visioning, backcasting, and alternative histories and counterfactuals. An analysis is also carried out on the method of 'scenarios', revealing a variety of different approaches operating at multiple levels of depth. The historical development of prospective methods is also discussed. Mode-level analysis can be generalized to any number of modes or levels, depending on the application, context or objectives of the analyst. It may be used by academics for interest's sake and for teaching students, and by practitioners as both a design tool and a diagnostic one. This paper introduces a new technique for classifying prospective methods, and may help lead to ideas for the creation of new methods.
A generalised "layered methodology" framework
Creators: name: Voros, Joseph
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Purpose: To outline and present a generalised scheme for using 'layered methods' in foresight work; Design/methodology/approach: a number of different approaches to 'layering' in futures studies and foresight work are examined and synthesised into a generalised scheme. The place of layered methods in foresight work is also examined, and the role of perceptual filters in interpretation is discussed; Findings: A schema of four major 'strata', each potentially containing multiple sub-layers, is developed. The strata range from, for example, short-term trends in the shallowest level, through to long-term macrohistorical forces at the deepest level; Practical implications: The generalised scheme enables the practitioner to progressively move to greater levels of understanding as new layers of meaning are uncovered or constructed, as appropriate to the specific nature of the particular foresight engagement. The scheme also represents a template from which purpose-built interpretive frameworks can be constructed, as needed, in foresight processes and work; Originality/value: This paper provides a new, generalised and integrated approach to the use of interpretive frameworks in foresight work.
Inverse design of higher-order photonic topological insulators

description: The recently discovered second-order photonic topological insulators (SPTIs) are characterized by gapped edge states and robust corner states, and they provide novel approaches to the traditional ways to manipulate light. In a general case, the overlapped band gap of nontrivial and trivial photonic crystals composing SPTIs is narrow, which barely allows for the production of strongly localized states. Here, we introduce an intelligent numerical approach for the inverse design of large classes of SPTIs with great flexibility for controlling the properties of topological edge and corner states. In the optimized designs, the overlapped band gap of the nontrivial and trivial photonic crystals substantially exceeds that of the existing SPTIs, and it enables the existence of highly localized corner and edge states with nearly flat dispersion. We design several structures supporting both topological edge and corner states at the desired frequencies. Through programming newly created SPTIs, we suggest a strategy for routing topological edge and corner states. Our findings pave the way for the development of integrated photonic devices with topological protection and innovative functionalities.
Evolutionary topology optimization of continuum structures considering fatigue failure
Creators: name: Nabaki, Khodamorad
name: Shen, Jianhu
name: Huang, Xiaodong
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A simplified topology optimization was developed to prevent fatigue failure in this paper. It is based on the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) approach where the modified Goodman fatigue failure criterion was applied directly in the sensitivity analysis. The high-cycle fatigue under proportional loadings with constant amplitude was considered in fatigue analysis. To reduce the computational cost, the modified p-norm approach of the fatigue constraint was applied by assembling the contribution of the local fatigue failure criterion in one function. For the finite element analysis, the sensitivity number of the elements was calculated based on the results from the equivalent linear static analysis while the sensitivity number is based on the Goodman fatigue criterion. The optimization problem was defined as maximizing the stiffness of a structure with a volume constraint and a fatigue failure constrain to prevent fatigue within the prescribed life cycles. The effectiveness of the proposed optimization approach was confirmed through comparison between the new approach results and those from the traditional compliance minimization problem using several traditional examples with obvious stress concentration.
Sequential black-box optimization via global optimization of tree ensembles
Creators: name: Thebelt, Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the integration of tree ensembles with global optimization methods for addressing complex black-box optimization problems across various real-world applications, including chemical engineering, energy systems, and hyperparameter optimization. ENTMOOT, a novel software framework, integrates tree models effectively into decision-making and black-box optimization tasks. The framework introduces a reliable uncertainty measure compatible with tree models, and proposes and evaluates strategies for tackling large-scale optimization problems, thereby addressing some common limitations of tree-based models in Bayesian optimization. Further, it ensures globally optimal solutions of acquisition functions to facilitate ideal trade-offs when proposing new black-box experiments. Moreover, we extend ENTMOOT for constrained multi-objective optimization of black-box problems and apply it to relevant problems related to energy systems. This strategy proves preferable compared to evolutionary-based algorithms deployed in this field, especially when dealing with heterogeneous variable spaces and complex or unknown system dynamics that involve input constraints. Continuing on this trajectory, we further develop the research to confront challenges inherent to the application of tree ensembles in black-box optimization tasks, such as algorithm tuning and neural architecture search. By leveraging the kernel interpretation of tree ensembles as a Gaussian Process prior, we obtain model variance estimates and develop a compatible optimization formulation for the piece-wise constant acquisition function compatible with deterministic global solvers. Importantly, this approach allows for the seamless integration of known constraints, thereby improving sampling efficiency across scenarios involving mixed-variable feature spaces and known input constraints. The presented research offers comprehensive insights and innovative strategies to tap into the strengths of tree ensembles while mitigating some of their limitations, ultimately advocating their increased applicability across a spectrum of real-world optimization scenarios.

description: Spectral relaxation from fluorescent probes is a useful technique for determining the dynamics of condensed phases. To this end, we have developed a method based on wide-field spectral fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy to extract spectral relaxation correlation times of fluorescent probes in living cells. We show that measurement of the phase and modulation of fluorescence from two wavelengths permit the identification and determination of excited state lifetimes and spectral relaxation correlation times at a single modulation frequency. For NBD fluorescence in glycerol/water mixtures, the spectral relaxation correlation time determined by our approach exhibited good agreement with published dielectric relaxation measurements. We applied this method to determine the spectral relaxation dynamics in membranes of living cells. Measurements of the Golgi-specific C6-NBD-ceramide probe in living HeLa cells revealed sub-nanosecond spectral dynamics in the intracellular Golgi membrane and slower nanosecond spectral dynamics in the extracellular plasma membrane. We interpret the distinct spectral dynamics as a result of structural plasticity of the Golgi membrane relative to more rigid plasma membranes. To the best of our knowledge, these results constitute one of the first measurements of Golgi rotational dynamics.

description: Living cells encounter many stimuli from the immediate environment. Receptors recognize these environmental cues and transduce signals to produce cell responses. The frequency of a signal is now emerging as an important factor determining cell responses. As a componentry system in understanding temporal stimulation, microfluidic devices allow the observation of cell behaviour under dynamic stimulation and controllable environment. In this paper we describe the design, construction and characterization of a microfluidic device suitable for cell stimulation studies.

Materials and methods for nonlinear nanophotonics
Creators: name: Huq, Tahiyat
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, we study the nonlinear properties of various solid-state nanosystems and evaluate their performance towards applications in nonlinear nanophotonics. Nonlinear nanophotonics is an exciting avenue of research, translating nonlinear optical phenomena to modern platforms such as on-chip technologies. The optical and infra-red length-scale regime matches the interaction length scales of the waves in the medium, lifting the phase-matching constraints of bulk nonlinear optics. We explore different materials with strong nonlinear strength quantified by the nonlinear susceptibility. Firstly, we show second-harmonic generation from a 410 nm thin film of epitaxially grown gallium phosphide and demonstrate that its absolute efficiency is comparable to a bulk wafer over the pump wavelength range from 1060 to 1370 nm. Additionally, we show that for third-order nonlinear processes, amorphous GaP thin films are an alternative that even exceeds the efficiencies of the crystalline samples at third-harmonic efficiency. Secondly, we study nonlinear effects at the band-edge of FAPbBr3 nanocrystals and report the maximum absolute value third-order nonlinear susceptibility as 1.46 x 10-19 m2/V2 at 1560 nm excitation wavelength. We show a spectral dependence of the SHG from WS2 bulk TMDC, which we attribute to excitonic effects near the bandgap. Furthermore, we find the third-order nonlinear susceptibility for four TMDC at the telecommunications wavelength (1500 nm) to be of the order of magnitude 1 x 10-18 m2/V2, which is one order of magnitude larger than monolayer materials. We conclude by showing that nanophotonic design principles can enhance nonlinear effects in the nanoscale regime. We use the resonant anapole mode of high-refractive-index WS2 nanoantennas to generate enhanced third harmonic. Furthermore, we couple plasmonic antennas to epsilon-near-zero material films to boost nonlinear response (measured via four-wave-mixing) by 15 000.
White light scattering spectroscopy and electron microscopy of laser induced melting in single gold nanorods

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We present the first measurements of laser induced melting and reshaping of single gold nanorods. Using a combination of white light scattering spectroscopy and electron microscopy we find a melting energy of 260 fJ for nanorods with an average size of 92 x 30 nm. Contrary to previous reports on ensembles of nanorods, this melting energy corresponds well to the theoretical prediction of 225 fJ. We observe a gradual shape change from a long and thin rod to a shorter and wider rod, which eventually collapses into a sphere when enough laser energy is deposited. We also observe that higher aspect ratio particles are thermodynamically less stable, leading to a greater reduction of the aspect ratio at lower laser pulse energy densities.
Confocal reflection readout thresholds in two-photon-induced optical recording

name: Chon, James

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Confocal reflection readout thresholds in two-photon-induced optical recording in photoisomerization polymer are studied both theoretically and experimentally. A threshold of the axial response from a planar reflector with a refractive-index change of the order of 10(-2) is revealed. However, the threshold is reduced to 0.006 when strong forward scattering caused by the recorded bits leads to multiple reflection between the bit and the rare surface, which enhances the image contrast and reduces the readout threshold. The quality of the reconstructed bit image is strongly dependent on the refractive-index mismatch at the sample rare interface as well as the distance between the recorded position and the rare surface.
Characterization of a subwavelength-scale 3D void structure using the FDTD-based confocal laser scanning microscopic image mapping technique

description: In this paper, a simple confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM) image mapping technique based on the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) calculation has been proposed and evaluated for characterization of a subwavelength-scale three-dimensional (3D) void structure fabricated inside polymer matrix. The FDTD simulation method adopts a focused Gaussian beam incident wave, Berenger's perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary condition, and the angular spectrum analysis method. Through the well matched simulation and experimental results of the xz-scanned 3D void structure, we first characterize the exact position and the topological shape factor of the subwavelength-scale void structure, which was fabricated by a tightly focused ultrashort pulse laser. The proposed CLSM image mapping technique based on the FDTD can be widely applied from the 3D near-field microscopic imaging, optical trapping, and evanescent wave phenomenon to the state-of-the-art bio- and nano-photonics area.
Effect of heat accumulation on the dynamic range of a gold nanorod doped polymer nanocomposite for optical laser writing and patterning

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Even though gold nanorod doped dielectrics have been widely used for optical laser writing and patterning there has been no attempt to study the dynamic range of these nanocomposites, let alone exploring ways to improve this property. Here we study the dynamic range of a gold nanorod doped polyvinyl alcohol film for various laser spot sizes at two different laser pulse repetition rates and show that when a high repetition rate laser source is employed the dynamic range of the nanocomposite is severely limited due to accumulative heating inside the focal volume. This problem could be solved by silica-coating the nanorods inside the polymer matrix. This method does not compromise the high repetition rate of the laser writing source and yet retains the attractive flexible properties of the polymer matrix. The silica-coated gold nanorod doped polymer nanocomposite could be an attractive medium for future high-speed, high repetition rate pulsed laser writing and patterning applications.

Synchronous, asynchronous and timed affine multiparty session types
Creators: name: Lagaillardie, Nicolas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: This thesis delves into the intricate realm of concurrent and distributed systems, a vital aspect of modern technology. It focuses on message-passing concurrency, which plays a pivotal role in achieving horizontal scalability, a key requirement in today’s technological landscape. The study is primarily conducted within the Rust programming language, renowned for its emphasis on memory safety and efficiency. The motivation behind this research stems from the critical need to ensure communication safety within concurrent systems, particularly in Rust environments. To contextualise the research, the thesis provides a historical overview of Session Types (ST) theories, tracing their evolution from Binary Session Types (BST) to the more advanced Affine Asynchronous Timed Multiparty Session Types (ATMP). A practical Travel agency scenario is used as a guiding example to demonstrate the incremental advancements in this field. The core contributions of this thesis lie in the development and implementation of the MultiCrusty framework in Rust. MultiCrusty is designed to support Affine Multiparty Session Types (AMPST) and ATMP, addressing challenges such as constructing multiparty channels through binary channels, ensuring deadlock-freedom, liveness, and enforcing affineness. One significant contribution is the introduction of MeshedChannels within MultiCrusty, a structure that encapsulates binary channels in a specific order to guarantee communication safety. This framework, MultiCrustyA, facilitates essential operations like message sending and receiving, making choices, handling recursion, and closing connections over synchronous communications. Methodologies such as Top-Down and Bottom-Up are employed to ensure the framework’s performance superiority compared to other related tools, especially in scenarios involving a high number of participants and complex interactions. Additionally, MultiCrustyA is extended to incorporate Affine Asynchronous Timed Multiparty Session Types in a version named MultiCrustyT , further enhancing its capabilities in handling asynchronous communications and time constraints, and demonstrating minimal overhead compared to previous the implementation.

Equilibrate parametrization: optimal stepsizes and acceleration limits for ADMM-type algorithms
Creators: name: Ran, Yifan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: This manuscript is devoted to solving a long-standing open problem, the optimal step-size choice for ADMM-type first-order algorithms. This issue is tightly connected to a well-known heuristic, preconditioning, which will be shown as equivalent. Our key contribution is proposing a new way of parametrization. Conventionally, the step-size parameter is always assigned to the range of a function or an operator. We show that this is not mathematically natural in the sense that an extra, step-size related scaling arises, posing a hidden obstacle to optimizing parameters. Also, it is the cause of certain inconsistencies and complications that appear to be overlooked in the current literature. Overall, we claim that the classical range-parametrization should be viewed as a shifted variant of our equilibrate parametrization, which associates the step-size parameter to the domain of a function, and both the domain and range of a monotone operator. Our demonstration is via a standard tool, the proximal operator. Our optimal step-size choice applies to all ADMM-type convex programs. Its optimality is in the worst-case convergence rate sense, and no tailored structure is exploited. Hence, in the applications, we will see that our step-size choice does not yield exactly the best fixed choice (which can be found by exhaustive grid search). Luckily, in all our preliminary simulations, our worst-case optimal step-size performs highly similarly to the underlying best fixed step-size, which seems sufficient for basic practical use. At last, we generalize the step-size from a scalar to an operator. Two examples are given regarding the l1-minimization and the semidefinite programming. Quite remarkably, we prove that — under zero initialization, choose the step-size to be a certain diagonal matrix, then the l1-minimization problem can be solved via a one-time proximal operator evaluation, i.e., the corresponding algorithm converges in one iteration, which attains the acceleration limit.

description: The mangrove plant Acanthus ilicifolius Linn. has been recorded to treat liver injury diseases, but its active ingredients are unclear. In the present study, chemical compounds in the ethanol extract of A. ilicifolius were isolated, and their anti-liver injury, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities were evaluated to decipher the effective substances. In total, 42 compounds (1–42) were obtained, including two new naphthalene compounds (1–2). Moreover, the anti-liver injury, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities of compounds were evaluated. In CCl4-induced HepG2 cellular model, compound 33 showed significant anti-liver injury activity at 50, 25, 12.5 and 6.25 μM, while 1, 9, 13–16, 33 showed significant activity at 50 and 25 μM. Overall, naphthalenes (1–2), phenylethanoid glycosides (12–16), alkaloid (3), flavonoid (9) and lignin (33) could be the main effective substances in A. ilicifolius against liver injury.

description: Nine amide derivatives inspired by capsaicin (ADICs) were synthesised and evaluated for antibacterial and antitumor activities by a series of standard methods in this study. The results showed that ADICs had good antibacterial and antitumor activity. In the antibacterial assay, their inhibitory rates were over 76.70% at 20 μg/mL, the MIC values were not more than 32 μg/mL, and they exhibited healthy characteristics with MBC values exceeding 128 μg/mL. In antitumor assay, the inhibition rates of the products a3, b3, and c3 with chloroacetamide exceeded 55.00% at 10 μM, and their IC50 values were all less than 8.61 μM; furthermore, injection of products a3 and b3 suppressed the growth of A549 and HCT116 tumour cells transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice. As benign and healthy antibacterial and antitumor agents, the research and development of ADICs are of important realistic significance to their application in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Creators: name: Galetzka, Armin
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED

description: This work addresses the simulation of magnetostatic field problems using measured material data exclusively, rather than using material models constructed from the data.
The work introduces a data-driven computing framework for field problems and adapts its formulation to the case of magnetostatics. The data-driven field problem is developed in continuous form utilizing the Euler-Lagrange equations and subsequently solved with the finite element method. A hybrid solver is introduced to handle magnetostatic problems that involve domains with known material relations in combination with domains where solely data are available. Adaptively adjusted weighting factors are introduced to adapt the norm in the material phase space to changing operating points. The properties of the data-driven problem and the computational complexity of the solver are discussed. The findings are illustrated with several numerical experiments covering both academic and real-world problems, including an example that is solved with real-world measurement data only.
