description: We demonstrate a strong tunability of the spin-pumping contribution to magnetic damping in a thin-film ferromagnetic free layer interfaced with a synthetic ferrimagnet (SFM), acting as a spin-sink, via a thin Cu-spacer. The effect strongly depends on the magnetic state of the SFM, a trilayer structure composed of two Fe layers coupled via indirect exchange mediated by a Cr spacer. With increasing Cr thickness, the SFM state undergoes a transition from an antiparallel via a non-collinear to a parallel configuration. We can explain the corresponding non-monotonous dependence of spin relaxation in the free layer in terms of a modulation of the longitudinal spin transport as well as relaxation of the transverse angular momentum in the SFM. The results should be useful for designing high-speed spintronic devices where tunability of spin relaxation is advantageous.

description: Density functional theory is a standard model for condensed matter theory and computational material science. The accuracy of density functional theory is limited by accuracy of the employed approximation to the exchange-correlation functional. Recently, the so-called strongly constrained approprietly normed (SCAN) functional has received a lot of attention due to promising results for covalent, metallic, ionic, as well as hydrogen- and van der Waals-bonded systems alike. In this work we focus on assessing the performance of the SCAN functional for itinerant magnets by calculating basic structural and magnetic properties of the transition metals Fe, Co and Ni. We find that although structural properties of bcc-Fe seem to be in good agreement with experiment, SCAN performs worse than standard local and semilocal functionals for fcc-Ni and hcp-Co. In all three cases, the magnetic moment is significantly overestimated by SCAN, and the $3d$ states are shifted to lower energies, as compared to experiments.

description: We revisit the shadow of rotating traversable wormholes discussing the role of the wormhole throat in the shadow formation. For certain classes of wormholes the throat serves as a potential barrier for light rays with particular impact parameters, thus modifying the shadow shape. We consider a couple of wormhole solutions and examine the structure of their shadow images, and the intrinsic mechanisms for their formation. Some of the shadows possess cuspy edges, which arise due to the interplay of two distinct families of unstable spherical orbits. These solutions provide examples, in which the explicit mechanism for cusp formation can be uncovered.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and dynamics of quantum systems
Creators: name: Dorner, Ross
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis is a study of non-equilibrium phenomena in quantum systems. Emphasis is given to the recently derived non-equilibrium fluctuation theorems, which relate the non-equilibrium response of a system to its equilibrium thermodynamic properties. We investigate the validity and importance of these theorems, from both a theoretical and experimental perspective, in systems ranging from a single atom to an ensemble of interacting particles. We also investigate the potential role of quantum dynamics in biological processes.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate the scalar potential of supersymmetric QCD (in the regime N_f < N_c) coupled to N=1 supergravity with moduli-dependent gauge kinetic function and masses. The gauge dynamics are described by the Taylor-Veneziano-Yankielowicz superpotential for composite effective fields. The potential can be expanded about the ``truncated'' point in the gaugino and matter condensate directions in order to find corrections to the globally supersymmetric minimum. The results are relevant to the phenomenology of supersymmetry-breaking in string-inspired supergravity models, and also to recent work on domain walls in SQCD.

WikiSensing: A collaborative sensor management system with trust assessment for big data
Creators: name: Silva, Dilshan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Big Data for sensor networks and collaborative systems have become ever more important in the digital economy and is a focal point of technological interest while posing many noteworthy challenges. This research addresses some of the challenges in the areas of online collaboration and Big Data for sensor networks. This research demonstrates WikiSensing (www.wikisensing.org), a high performance, heterogeneous, collaborative data cloud for managing and analysis of real-time sensor data. The system is based on the Big Data architecture with comprehensive functionalities for smart city sensor data integration and analysis. The system is fully functional and served as the main data management platform for the 2013 UPLondon Hackathon. This system is unique as it introduced a novel methodology that incorporates online collaboration with sensor data. While there are other platforms available for sensor data management WikiSensing is one of the first platforms that enable online collaboration by providing services to store and query dynamic sensor information without any restriction of the type and format of sensor data. An emerging challenge of collaborative sensor systems is modelling and assessing the trustworthiness of sensors and their measurements. This is with direct relevance to WikiSensing as an open collaborative sensor data management system. Thus if the trustworthiness of the sensor data can be accurately assessed, WikiSensing will be more than just a collaborative data management system for sensor but also a platform that provides information to the users on the validity of its data. Hence this research presents a new generic framework for capturing and analysing sensor trustworthiness considering the different forms of evidence available to the user. It uses an extensible set of metrics that can represent such evidence and use Bayesian analysis to develop a trust classification model. Based on this work there are several publications and others are at the final stage of submission. Further improvement is also planned to make the platform serve as a cloud service accessible to any online user to build up a community of collaborators for smart city research.

Development and Investigation of a rabbit model of tuberculosis tissue destruction
Creators: name: Kubler, Andre
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Tuberculosis kills more people than any other bacterial disease. The characteristic tissue destruction that occurs during infection contributes to morbidity, mortality, and transmission. Tissue damage limits antibiotic effectiveness, and generates regions of immune privilege. Therefore, therapies that target tissue destruction may improve treatment outcomes. Currently, modelling tissue destruction in vivo requires the infection of large animals for prolonged periods. These models are highly variable in outcome. This makes experimentation challenging, and limits there use in testing therapeutic strategies, which in turn limits the progression of potential therapies to clinical trials. This thesis outlines the development of a highly consistent rabbit model of cavitary tuberculosis, in which novel therapies can be investigated, using small groups of animals. A method to assess pathology in vivo by breath-hold computed tomography was also developed. Matrix metalloproteinase-1 is confirmed as a potential mediator of tissue destruction, and cathepsin K is newly identified as a potential mediator of tissue destruction. These collagenases are targetable with the drugs Cipemastat and Odanacatib respectively, both of which are safe in man. This thesis provides a novel system for trialling treatments for tuberculosis in the context of human-like, tissue-destructive pathology. This may facilitate the selection of both antibiotic and non-antibiotic treatment strategies for tuberculosis. This model will allow for a better understanding of the physical, chemical, molecular, genetic and immunological characteristics and determinants of cavitary tuberculosis.
Towards the synthesis of novel chelates for technetium-99m imaging
Creators: name: Hindocha, Sheena
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Abstract This thesis details the synthesis of tetradentate ligand systems for use with technetium-99m with a focus on sulphur donors. The synthesis of a series of S4 tetradentate ligands is detailed (Chapter 3). The ligands with general formula Me2PS(CH2)2S(CH2)nS(CH2)2PSMe2 where n = 2 – 4 (3.1 – 3.3). The ligands were reacted with technetium-99m, [ReO2(py)4]Cl and [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] unfortunately evidence for complexation was not obtained. In order to gain an understanding of the coordination chemistry of the ligands 3.1 – 3.3 were successfully complexed to Cu(I), Ag(I) and Pd(II) centres, the compounds and structures are discussed in chapter 3. The synthesis of ligands containing 1-methyl-2H-imidazole-2-thione units, which act as S donors is featured in chapter 4. Challenges met during the synthesis of the S4 and N2S2 ligands are discussed. P2S2 (4.12 and 4.16) ligands were synthesised by the reaction of the imidazole unit with 1,3-propanebis(phenyldihydroxymethylphosphine) dichloride. This led to the subsequent synthesis of an analogous P2O2 (4.17) ligand using 1-ethyl-2H-imidazolin-2-one. The P2S2 and P2O2 chelates were reacted with PdCl2 to produce Palladium(II) complexes. Reactions with [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] were also completed and although pure samples were not isolated, there is evidence that [ReO2L]+ complexes were synthesised. The synthesis of a tetradentate phosphine oxime (P2N2) ligand system is the focus of chapter 5. The synthetic challenges encountered during the proposed synthesis are detailed along with alternative synthetic routes. The synthesis of analogous P2N2 compounds is also reported. Whilst evidence for the target chelate (5.2) was obtained its synthesis could not be fully confirmed.

Exotic polarizations of D2 branes and oblique vacua of (S)YM$_{2+1}$

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We investigate the oblique vacua in the perturbed 2+1 dimensional gauge theory living on D2 branes. The string theory dual of these vacua is expected to correspond to polarizations of the D2 branes into NS5 branes with D4 brane charge. We perturb the gauge theory by adding fermions masses. In the nonsupersymmetric case, we also consider the effect of slight variations of the masses of the scalars. For certain ranges of scalar masses we find oblique vacua. We show that D4 charge is an essential ingredient in understanding D2 -> NS5 polarizations. We find that some of the polarization states which appear as metastable vacua when D4 charge is not considered are in fact unstable. They decay by acquiring D4 charge, tilting and shrinking to zero size.

description: Talaud Regency, North Sulawesi, is one of the abaca fiber producers in Indonesia. Traditionally, this area has had a textile culture related to the processing of abaca fiber, but now the artisans who have these skills are rare. Therefore, making paper yarn is an alternative to add value to the abaca fiber from Talaud. The point to note in adding value is that it is feasible to be done by the local community and has minimal environmental impact. This article is a literature study on abaca fiber, paper yarn processing, and opportunities for abaca fiber utilization in Talaud Regency. In this study, it was found that abaca can be processed with soda ash, wetting agent, and caustic soda, to become paper similar to the process of making hanji paper in Korea or washi in Japan. The paper can be processed into thread by cutting it thinly and twisting it, similar to shifu yarn. The processing can be done industrially or manually, so it is considered applicable at the scale of the artisans’ community in the Talaud Regency.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate physiological responses during a traditional active warm-up and a passive warm-up consisting of wearing heated trousers during a submaximal endurance cycling workout. Participants included 10 cyclists/triathletes (3 females, 7 males; age: 48 ± 13 years old; mass: 157.9 ± 33.8 kg; height: 169.3 ± 8.65 cm; percent body fat: 25.3 ± 8.53 %) of at least 18 years of age who could continuously cycle for at least 120 minutes and had knowledge of their individual FTP. Experimental 1-day testing included a randomized crossover design where participants proceeded with two different protocols: an active warm-up cycling 15 minutes and a passive warm-up wearing heated trousers for 15 minutes. Following each protocol, participants were then asked to cycle at a submaximal level of 70% FTP. Dependent variables that were taken during submaximal exercise included core temperature, skin temperature, VO2, CO2, RER, heart rate, and cycling economy. Dependent paired t-tests were run on SPSS 28th edition (IBM SPSS Statistics Data Editor, SPSS Version 28.01.00) for data reduction and analysis with significance set at P ≤ 0.05. Data analysis revealed that there were no significant differences in core temperature (P > 0.05), skin temperature (P > 0.05), VO2 (P > 0.05), CO2 (P > 0.05), RER (P > 0.05), heart rate (P > 0.05) and cycling economy (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that utilizing heated trousers in place for an active warm-up could be considered as there were no significant advantages or disadvantages during submaximal cycling exercise.

description: We present conjectures for the space-time form and leading large N dependence of extremal and near-extremal correlation functions in the \N=8 superconformal Yang-Mills theory in d=3 as well as in the (0,2) superconformal theory in d=6, using their gravity duals with M-theory on $AdS_4\times §^7$ and $AdS_7 \times §^4$ respectively. As a key part of the conjectures, we argue that the bulk couplings associated with extremal and near-extremal field configurations in the corresponding $AdS_4$ and $AdS_7$ gauged supergravities vanish. The vanishing of these couplings constitutes a generalization of the property of consistent truncation of the Kaluza-Klein modes.

An Analysis of the Hydrological Cycle and Poleward Heat Transports Simulated by Two Climate Models
Creators: name: Dancel, Christopher Marlon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Heat and Freshwater transport by the oceans and atmosphere are an integral part of the climate system, aiming to cool the Tropics and warm the Extra-Tropics. General Circulation Models (GCMs) are used to simulate the climate system, however a key weakness to them is the uncertainty associated with model predictions. One component of this uncertainty is due to the model structural bias associated with the choice of ocean model vertical coordinate type, which can have substantial feedback within a coupled ocean-atmosphere model. This thesis aims to investigate the Heat and Freshwater transport in the climate system with specific relevance to three main topics: 1. sensitivity of heat and freshwater transport to model numerics 2. coupling between heat and freshwater transport 3. changes to heat and freshwater transport to increasing CO2 concentration Firstly, the choice of ocean vertical coordinate on the computed heat and freshwater transport in the oceans and atmosphere was investigated. By comparing the models CHIME (isopycnal level ocean model) and HadCM3 (z-level ocean model) in a control climate, it was found that variations to the atmospheric latent and dry static energy transports were much larger than those induced from anthropogenic emission scenarios predicted by the latest IPCC report (AR4, 2007). Secondly, a new theory that constrained the ratio of ocean to atmospheric heat transport Ho/Ha as a function of ocean temperature and salinity was examined. This theory was tested using a control scenario from the HadCM3 model for mid-latitudes, finding good agreement over the Northern Hemisphere, though poorer performance over the Southern Hemisphere. Finally, climate snapshots in CHIME were analysed under an increasing CO2 environment. An examination of heat and freshwater transport for the ocean - atmosphere and the atmospheric dry static - latent energy components, showed significant compensation within each pair. Further investigation into the ocean overturning circulation and atmospheric moisture transport revealed: a salinification (freshening) of the Atlantic (Pacific), increased zonal moisture transport through Central America, and a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, validating CHIME's anthropogenic responses with predictions from AR4.
Insulin signalling in granulosa cells
Creators: name: Joharatnam, Jalini
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Granulosa cells in PCOS demonstrate impaired insulin-induced glucose uptake and lactate accumulation, suggesting a post receptor, signalling pathway-specific impairment of insulin action. Gonadotrophins are also important in the regulation of glucose metabolism by of granulosa cells. The first objective of this project was to use KK1 cells an immortalised mouse granulosa cell line, to characterise insulin, androgen and FSH signalling as well as glucose metabolism. Cell lysates were subjected to western immunoblotting for key proteins in the insulin signalling pathways. Glucose metabolism of KK1 cells was also measured. Surprisingly, androgen alone stimulated glucose uptake and lactate production and augmented insulin-induced glucose metabolism. This suggests that the insulin resistance observed in granulosa cells from women with PCOS is not a direct effect of exposure to androgen. The main part of the thesis was examination of insulin action on human primary ovarian granulosa-lutein (GL) cells to investigate the mechanism of insulin resistance in PCOS. Insulin and FSH signalling in GL cells from women with anovulatory PCOS (anovPCO, n=11) was compared to that in GL cells from ovulatory women with (ovPCO, n=8) and without polycystic ovaries (controls n=12). Primary GL cells were incubated with insulin or FSH and analysed for glucose metabolism and progesterone production. Cell lysates were prepared for identification of signalling pathways, using western immunoblotting. The results confirmed selective impairment of glucose metabolism in cells from anovulatory PCOS. No significant impairment of insulin stimulated PI3K signalling was observed. However there was a reduction of p42/44ERK phosphorylation in the ovulatory PCOS group compared to controls. The significance of this finding with respect to impaired glucose metabolism in granulosa cells remains to be determined. We also showed FSH induced glucose metabolism, but without clear evidence of activation of the PI3-kinase pathway.

Improving the Energy Efficiency of Microprocessor Cores Through Accurate Resource Utilisation Prediction
Creators: name: Court, Craig A.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: CMOS technology scaling improves the speed and functionality of microprocessors by reducing the size of transistors. Static power dissipation also increases as a result of scaling however, and has been identified as a limiting factor in technology scaling. As current technology approaches that limit, techniques are required both at the technology-level and in the architecture design to reduce sub-threshold leakage, which accounts for the majority of static power dissipation. This thesis presents an approach to predict the idle periods of execution units at runtime and power-gate them during these periods to eliminate their static power leakage. We exploit similar execution characteristics across loop iterations to build a prediction of the units required to execute an entire loop from the units used over the first few iterations. The utilisation of each execution unit is monitored for each iteration, and thresholds are used to determine which units should be power-gated for the remainder of the loop. Three techniques are presented: Loop-Directed Mothballing (LDM), Extended Loop-Directed Mothballing (ELDM) and schedule balancing. LDM power-gates execution units only during innermost loops, which are simple to detect at runtime. ELDM extends this method to all loops using loop entry and exit information gathered offline. The balancing scheduler is developed to balance the types of instruction issued each cycle, to encourage reuse of execution units and make unnecessary units easier to detect. Extensive simulation using traces of 16 benchmarks from the SPEC CPU2006 suite demonstrates that LDM reduces the energy-delay product of our simulated superscalar processor by 10.3%. For traces with a low proportion of executed instructions inside innermost loops, ELDM improves the energy-delay product by up to 13% by allowing the technique to be applied to other loops in the trace. Employing schedule balancing with ELDM achieves similar savings, and simplifies the hardware required to make predictions.

description: This paper provides orbital parameters for 38 barium stars and 10 extrinsic S stars derived from a decade-long CORAVEL monitoring. Lower bounds on the orbital period (generally exceeding 10 y) have been obtained for 10 more systems. Mira S, SC and (Tc-poor) C stars have also been monitored and show intrinsic radial-velocity variations due to atmospheric phenomena. Tentative orbital solutions are proposed for 3 stars (S UMa, X Cnc, BD-08:1900) where the velocity and photometric periods are different. Three stars (RZ Peg, SS Vir and R CMi) exhibit radial-velocity variations synchronous with the light variations. Pseudo-orbital solutions have been derived for those stars. In the case of RZ Peg, a line-doubling phenomenon is observed near maximum light, and probably reflects the shock wave propagating through the photosphere.

description: Heuristic inspections are often carried out in a rather restrictive manner in the sense that they often address one or two of User Experience aspects. These two generally being: usability and "user experience". This fails to consider UX as it should be [considered]: through a holistic approach. Thus, we suggest to go beyond that by opting for what we have called an Integrative Heu-ristic Inspection that takes into account issues of: accessibility, usability, emotions \& motivation and persuasion, and that aims to simplify the overflow of recommendations UX professionals are faced with nowadays. We illustrate our proposal by a case study carried out on an insurance prospecting tablet application. We analyzed the results of the inspection separately for each dimension as well as combined across dimensions. Implications for a reflection on the struc-turing of the criteria for a general criteria-based approach in UX are discussed.

description: Exomoons may play an important role in determining the habitability of worlds outside of our solar system. They
 can stabilize conditions, alter the climate by breaking tidal locking with the parent star, drive tidal heating, and
 perhaps even host life themselves. However, the ability of an exoplanet to sustain an exomoon depends on
 complex tidal interactions. Motivated by this, we make use of simplified tidal lag models to follow the evolution of
 the separations and orbital and rotational periods in planet, star, and moon systems. We apply these models to
 known exoplanet systems to assess the potential for these exoplanets to host exomoons. We find that there are at
 least 36 systems in which an exoplanet in the habitable zone may host an exomoon for longer than one gigayear.
 This includes Kepler-1625b, an exoplanet with an exomoon candidate, which we determine would be able to retain
 a Neptune-sized moon for longer than a Hubble time. These results may help provide potential targets for future
 observation. In many cases, there remains considerable uncertainty in the composition of specific exoplanets. We
 show the detection (or not) of an exomoon would provide an important constraint on the planet structure due to
 differences in their tidal response.

title: The Effect of Sleep and Emotion on Pattern Separation
Creators: name: Osmanski, Alanna
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Prior work on the relationship between sleep and memory suggests that the sleep state is an optimal time for memory consolidation to occur. During slow wave sleep, newly encoded information in the hippocampus is repeatedly activated, driven by slow oscillations that originate in the neocortex. This process that occurs during slow wave sleep facilitates the long-term storage of memories. A widely accepted view of emotion and sleep is that emotional memories are preferentially consolidated during sleep so that they are easily accessible for retrieval, whereas neutral memories tend to be less accessible. However, recent meta-analyses of sleep, emotion, and memory have suggested that this effect may not be as robust as we once thought. To address this issue, the current study investigated the influence of sleep on the consolidation of emotional and neutral memories in a pattern separation task. The results showed no difference between the sleep and wake group on measures of pattern separation or item recognition and no preferential consolidation of emotional images over neutral images. These findings contradict prior literature, but raise questions about the role of sleep in memory consolidation, and more specifically, emotional memory consolidation.
Adaptive Hidden Markov Noise Modelling for Speech Enhancement

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: A robust and reliable noise estimation algorithm is required in many speech enhancement systems. The aim of this thesis is to propose and evaluate a robust noise estimation algorithm for highly non-stationary noisy environments. In this work, we model the non-stationary noise using a set of discrete states with each state representing a distinct noise power spectrum. In this approach, the state sequence over time is conveniently represented by a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). In this thesis, we first present an online HMM re-estimation framework that models time-varying noise using a Hidden Markov Model and tracks changes in noise characteristics by a sequential model update procedure that tracks the noise characteristics during the absence of speech. In addition the algorithm will when necessary create new model states to represent novel noise spectra and will merge existing states that have similar characteristics. We then extend our work in robust noise estimation during speech activity by incorporating a speech model into our existing noise model. The noise characteristics within each state are updated based on a speech presence probability which is derived from a modified Minima controlled recursive averaging method. We have demonstrated the effectiveness of our noise HMM in tracking both stationary and highly non-stationary noise, and shown that it gives improved performance over other conventional noise estimation methods when it is incorporated into a standard speech enhancement algorithm.

description: Context. We highlight the capabilities of the geodetic VLBI technique to test General relativity in the classical astrometric style, i.e., measuring the deflection of light in the vicinity of the Sun. Aims. In previous studies, the parameter was estimated by global analyses of thousands of geodetic VLBI sessions. Here we estimate from a single session where the Sun has approached two strong reference radio sources 0229+131 and 0235+164 at an elongation angle of 1-3 degrees. Methods. The AUA020 VLBI session of 1 May 2017 was designed to obtain more than 1000 group delays from the two radio sources. The Solar corona effect was effectively calibrated with the dual-frequency observations even at small elongation from the Sun. Results. We obtained with a precision better than what is obtained through global analyses of thousands of standard geodetic sessions over decades. Current results demonstrate that the modern VLBI technology is capable of establishing new limits on observational test of General Relativity.

Investigation of the regulatory role of heme oxygenase-1 and its products during VEGF-induced angiogenesis, using in vitro and in vivo models
Creators: name: Bauer, Andrea
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Angiogenesis is fundamental to many physiological processes, and associated with various pathologies, including atherosclerosis and malignant disease. Increasing evidence suggests a role for the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and its products in angiogenesis. However, the mechanisms through which HO-1 exerts its effects remain elusive. This study aims to identify signalling pathways and novel HO-1 downstream targets regulating angiogenesis. I show that inhibition of HO-1 with synthetic antagonist (ZnPP) or specific siRNA alters the angiogenic process at various levels. HO-1 inhibition significantly reduced vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF)-mediated human endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and inhibited capillary-like formation on 2D-Matrigel. Further, I demonstrate that VEGF-induced EC cell cycle progression is inhibited by HO-1 siRNA; an observation associated with decreased expression of cell cycle regulators cyclin A1 and cyclin E1. In contrast, HO-1-deficient cells were still protected from apoptosis by VEGF, most likely through induction of anti-apoptotic genes Bcl-2 and A1. Interestingly, HO-1 depletion negatively affected directional migration of EC towards a VEGF gradient; a phenotype reversed by HO-1 over-expression using an adenoviral vector. Moreover, migrating HO-1-deficient cells showed decreased cyclin A1 protein accompanied by decreased cyclin-dependent kinase 2 activity. Importantly, a combined proteomics and microarray approach has identified downstream targets of HO-1 and their potential roles in HO-1-driven angiogenesis have been investigated. For instance, HO-1 depletion results in impaired assembly of the intermediate filament vimentin. HO-1-deficient cells show reduced activity of the calcium-dependent protease calpain in response to VEGF; this observation was accompanied by a decrease in vimentin cleavage. The differences in vimentin cleavage and filament assembly may in turn account for the impaired angiogenic phenotype of HO-1-deficient cells. Identification of HO-1 downstream target genes may reveal potential therapeutic approaches for enhancing angiogenesis at sites of ischaemia or wound healing, or alternatively inhibiting angiogenesis associated with atherosclerosis or tumourogenesis.

description: Due to their provably capacity-achieving performance, polar codes have attracted a lot of research interest recently. For a good error-correcting performance, list successive-cancellation decoding (LSCD) with large list size is used to decode polar codes. However, as the complexity and delay of the list management operation rapidly increase with the list size, the overall latency of LSCD becomes large and limits the applicability of polar codes in high-throughput and latency-sensitive applications. Therefore, in this work, the low-latency implementation for LSCD with large list size is studied. Specifically, at the system level, a selective expansion method is proposed such that some of the reliable bits are not expanded to reduce the computation and latency. At the algorithmic level, a double thresholding scheme is proposed as a fast approximate-sorting method for the list management operation to reduce the LSCD latency for large list size. A VLSI architecture of the LSCD implementing the selective expansion and double thresholding scheme is then developed, and implemented using a UMC 90 nm CMOS technology. Experimental results show that, even for a large list size of 16, the proposed LSCD achieves a decoding throughput of 460 Mbps at a clock frequency of 658 MHz.
