description: We report the discovery of a radio loud quasar with a redshift of 4.30. This object, which is the first radio selected quasar with a redshift greater than four, was discovered during an observational investigation into the evolution of the luminosity function of radio loud quasars. Here we describe results based on a sample of ~300, flat spectrum radio sources with S(5GHz) > 200mJy. In this study, rather than carry out an indiscriminate redshift campaign on all the radio sources, we have used the APM POSS catalogue to preselect a subset of stellar-like optical counterparts with red optical colours. Such a subsample is expected to contain a high fraction of high redshift quasars. 10 of the ~300 sources were selected for follow-up optical spectroscopy and three of these are identified as quasars with redshifts greater than 3.0. One of the radio sources, GB1508+5714, is a quasar with z=4.30 and m(R)~19.

description: A series of liquid crystals (LCs) of bromine-terminated azobenzene were synthesised and characterised. The LCs were composed of an azobenzene core, an alkyl chain and a flexible spacer with a bromine atom at a remote position. Mesomorphic properties were dependent on both the alkyl chain length and the relative position of the bromine atom at the end of the spacer group. The nematic phase was favoured over the smectic A phase for alkyl chains with one and seven carbon atoms. However, the SmA mesophase was dominant for compounds with 10-carbon alkyl chains. The remote bromine atom in the spacer group favoured SmA for homologous with n-decyl chains and the nematic phase for n-heptyl and methyl groups. Molecular modelling showed that the azobenzene LCs tended to adopt the all trans-conformation in the gas phase as the number of carbon atoms increased. For short spacer groups, bent conformations contributed to the level population proportion of conformers. For the non-LC 5a, the gauche conformation became the most stable with a torsional angle of –68.9°. X-ray experiments showed a monolamellar SmA mesophase in an antiparallel arrangement. Absorption maxima at 360 and 440 nm were assigned to π–π* and n–π* transitions, respectively.

description: We investigate the potential of a quantum Boltzmann equation without momentum conservation for description of strongly correlated electron systems out of equilibrium. In a spirit similar to dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), the momentum conservation of the electron-electron scattering is neglected, which yields a time-dependent occupation function for the equilibrium spectral function, even in cases where well-defined quasiparticles do not exist. The main assumption of this method is that the spectral function remains sufficiently rigid under the non-equilibrium evolution. We compare the result of the quantum Boltzmann equation to non-equilibrium DMFT simulations for the case of photo-carrier relaxation in Mott insulators, where processes on very different timescales emerge, i.e., impact ionization, intra-Hubbard-band thermalization, and full thermalization. Since quantum Boltzmann simulations without momentum conservation are computationally cheaper than non-equilibrium DMFT, this method allows the simulation of more complicated systems or devices, and to access much longer times.

Automated organ localisation in fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Creators: name: Keraudren, Kevin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides an invaluable diagnostic tool complementary to ultrasound due to its high resolution and tissue contrast. In order to accommodate fetal and maternal motion, MR images of the fetus are typically acquired as stacks of two-dimensional (2D) slices that freeze in-plane motion, but may form an inconsistent three-dimensional (3D) volume. Motion correction methods, which reconstruct a high-resolution 3D volume from such motion corrupted stacks of 2D slices, have revolutionised fetal MRI, enabling detailed studies of the fetal brain development. However, such motion correction and reconstruction procedures require a substantial amount of manual data preprocessing in order to isolate fetal tissues from the rest of the image. Beside the presence of motion artefacts, the main challenges when automating the processing of fetal MRI are the unpredictable position and orientation of the fetus, as well as the variability in anatomy due to fetal development. This thesis presents novel methods based on machine learning and prior knowledge of fetal development to localise automatically organs in fetal MRI in order to automate the preprocessing step of motion correction. This localisation can also be used to initialise a segmentation, or orient images based on the fetal anatomy to facilitate clinical examination. The fetal brain is first localised independently of the orientation of the fetus, and then used as an anchor point to steer features used in the subsequent localisation of the heart, lungs and liver. The localisation results are used to segment fetal tissues in each 2D slice and this segmentation can be further refined throughout the motion correction procedure. The proposed method to segment the fetal brain is shown to perform as well as a manual preprocessing. Preliminary results on a similar application to the motion correction of the fetal thorax are also presented.

description: Nathaniel Dance (1735-1811) was a leading portraitist in London who worked alongside luminaries such as Reynolds, Romney and Gainsborough in the Golden Age of British portraiture. Dance’s contemporaries have been subject to considerable research, however, analysis of Dance has been limited with only one major study of his work undertaken in the 1970s. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Dance’s upper-middle class family were already established in London’s sociable society. His career and his works afford a different perspective from which to examine portraiture as part of Britain’s sociable society. In more recent years eighteenth-century art history research has diversified to include the complex cultural mores and behaviours of Britain’s sociable society. From stockings, buttons, books and swords to ideas of sociability, masculinity and the public sphere, a wide range of topics have become the purview of the art historian. These approaches provide the framework for rethinking Dance’s portraiture, establishing the foundation for assessing his work in a dynamic and complex way. Dance’s practices reveal the multifaceted connections between portraiture, the artist, the sitter, and the audience. This thesis argues that Dance’s portraits operated as instruments of influence in the networks and affiliations of sociable society and that a range of factors are critical to fully understand Dance’s work, including, the complex nature of sociability, changing concepts of masculinity and the rise of celebrity. This research expands our knowledge of the importance of business and social networks and the role of the portrait for communicating connections and social position of the sitters. Duplicated portraits, which are a prominent feature in Dance’s portraiture business, reveal the extent that this medium connected sitters within Dance’s social sphere and in turn facilitated the expansion of Dance’s own networks.

description: Solving the fundamental and optical gap problems, which yield information about charged and neutral excitations in electronic systems, is one of the biggest challenge in density-functional theory (DFT). Despite their intrinsic difference, we show that the two problems can be made formally identical by introducing a universal and canonical ensemble weight dependent exchange-correlation (xc) density functional. The weight dependence of the xc energy turns out to be the key ingredient for describing the infamous derivative discontinuity and represents a new path for its approximation.

description: Multi-turn conversation understanding is a major challenge for building intelligent dialogue systems. This work focuses on retrieval-based response matching for multi-turn conversation whose related work simply concatenates the conversation utterances, ignoring the interactions among previous utterances for context modeling. In this paper, we formulate previous utterances into context using a proposed deep utterance aggregation model to form a fine-grained context representation. In detail, a self-matching attention is first introduced to route the vital information in each utterance. Then the model matches a response with each refined utterance and the final matching score is obtained after attentive turns aggregation. Experimental results show our model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on three multi-turn conversation benchmarks, including a newly introduced e-commerce dialogue corpus.

description: The Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic database (LEDA) gives a free access to the main astrophysical parameters for more than 100,000 galaxies. The most common names are compiled allowing users to recover quickly any galaxy. All these measured astrophysical parameters are first reduced to a common system according to well defined reduction formulae leading to mean homogeneized parameters. Further, these parameters are also transformed into corrected parameters from widely accepted models. For instance, raw 21-cm line widths are transformed into mean standard widths after correction for instrumental effect and then into maximum velocity rotation properly corrected for inclination and non-circular velocity. This paper presents the reduction formulae for each parameter: coordinates, morphological type and luminosity class, diameter and axis ratio, apparent magnitude (UBV, IR, HI) and colors, maximum velocity rotation and central velocity dispersion, radial velocity, mean surface brightness, distance modulus and absolute magnitude, and group membership. For each of these parameters intermediate quantities are given: galactic extinction, inclination, K-correction etc.. All these parameters are available from direct connexion to LEDA (telnet lmc.univ-lyon1.fr, login: leda, no passwd OR http://www-obs.univ-lyon1.fr/leda ) and distributed on a standard CD-ROM (PGC-ROM 1996) by the Observatoire de Lyon via the CNRS (mail to petit@obs.univ-lyon1.fr).

description: Semantic similarity measurement aims to determine the likeness between two text expressions that use different lexicographies for representing the same real object or idea. There are a lot of semantic similarity measures for addressing this problem. However, the best results have been achieved when aggregating a number of simple similarity measures. This means that after the various similarity values have been calculated, the overall similarity for a pair of text expressions is computed using an aggregation function of these individual semantic similarity values. This aggregation is often computed by means of statistical functions. In this work, we present CoTO (Consensus or Trade-Off) a solution based on fuzzy logic that is able to outperform these traditional approaches

description: We have carried out spectroscopic observations of the high redshift ($z\approx 3.4$) radio galaxy 0902+34 at intermediate resolution with the William Herschel Telescope. The dynamical spectral ranges covered are 4600-5480 Åand 5920-7680 Åwith resolutions of 5.4 Åand 9.5 Å, respectively. We detect a continuum that is almost flat and resolve three emission lines: Ly$α$, C IV $λ$1549 and He II $λ$1640, the last one previously undetected. The line ratios are similar to the typical values found for narrow-line high redshift radio galaxies. Line ratios observed in different regions of the galaxy seem to indicate the presence of strong ionization and/or dust density gradients. We have not detected any Ly$α$ absorption at z=3.3968 (red wing of the Ly$α$ emission line) as might be expected from the absorption found at 21 cm by other authors using the VLA and Arecibo antennas. We discuss possible models for the H I absorbing cloud.

description: Computing the semantic similarity between terms (or short text expressions) that have the same meaning but which are not lexicographically similar is an important challenge in the information integration field. The problem is that techniques for textual semantic similarity measurement often fail to deal with words not covered by synonym dictionaries. In this paper, we try to solve this problem by determining the semantic similarity for terms using the knowledge inherent in the search history logs from the Google search engine. To do this, we have designed and evaluated four algorithmic methods for measuring the semantic similarity between terms using their associated history search patterns. These algorithmic methods are: a) frequent co-occurrence of terms in search patterns, b) computation of the relationship between search patterns, c) outlier coincidence on search patterns, and d) forecasting comparisons. We have shown experimentally that some of these methods correlate well with respect to human judgment when evaluating general purpose benchmark datasets, and significantly outperform existing methods when evaluating datasets containing terms that do not usually appear in dictionaries.
Alveolar macrophage heterogeneity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Creators: name: Luk, Sheung Fung Simon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) involves excess extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition within the lung interstitium, caused by non-resolving chronic inflammation and dysregulated repair. Alveolar macrophage (AMφ) may contribute to IPF through releasing various mediators by different subsets, investigated here in vitro, and ex vivo using a mouse model of bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis. The role of foamy AMφ in the reported increased susceptibility of Hermansky Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) 1 mice to BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis was also assessed. Novel characterisation studies revealed that terminally differentiated AMφ are inducible into M1-like [nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2)hi interleukin (IL)-1βhi IL-12 p40 (total)hi major histocompatibility protein (MHC)-IIhi mannose receptor C, type 1 (MRC1)-] or M2-like [Arginase 1 (Arg1)hi Fibronectinhi IGF-1hi MHC-IIlo MRC1-/+] phenotypes following IFN-Υ or IL-13 priming respectively. Lipopolysccharide (LPS) altered these AMφ subset phenotypes. AMφ heterogeneity in a novel multiple oropharyngeal dose, BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis was evaluated from days 7 to 21. Accumulation of M1-like AMφ at day 7, and M1/M2-hybrid AMφ [Arg1hi IL-12 p40 (total)hi fibronectinhi MHC-IIlo MRC1-/+] from days 7 to 21, may promote inflammation and fibrosis respectively. Toll-like Receptor (TLR) 9 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and TLR2 surface protein, and both TLRs2 and 9 ex vivo activities were increased in BLM-challenged mice from days 7 to 21, suggesting their roles in inflammation and fibrosis. Foamy AMφ accumulated in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and their potential role in the reported increased susceptibility to BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis of HPS1 mice was evaluated. BLM-challenged HPS1 mice (days 7-21) had increased weight loss indicating reduced BLM tolerance from days 7 to 11, but little/no difference in collagen accumulation, suggesting that reduced BLM tolerance is not correlated with increased pulmonary fibrosis. In conclusion AMφ alter their phenotype in response to their environment that contributes to different stages of BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Reduced BLM tolerance in HPS1 mice is not correlated with increased pulmonary fibrosis.
High-fidelity modelling and feedback control of bio-inspired membrane wings
Creators: name: Buoso, Stefano
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This work is a numerical investigation on the performance of integrally actuated two-dimensional membrane wings made with dielectric elastomers. A high-fidelity model based on the direct numerical integration of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations is coupled with a geometrically non-linear structural model. The rate-dependent constitutive law for the dielectric elastomer is based on a non-linear formulation, and it has been validated against experimental data. In addition, the implementation of the aeroelastic framework has been verified against the relevant literature for the low-Reynolds number flows investigated in this dissertation. Numerical simulations of the open-loop dynamics of the actuated membrane, in good agreement with experimental observations, show that integral actuation offers enough authority in the control of the wing aerodynamic performance. Dielectric elastomers can then be used as embedded actuators, coupling the advantages of passive membranes with a simple and lightweight control mechanism. Further, this work also proposes a model-reduction methodology for the fully coupled system to aid control system design. The low-order description of the actuated system can capture the main system dynamics, and can be used for the design of the control scheme of the wing. Proportional-Integral-Derivative and Linear Quadratic Gaussian feedback controllers, designed using the reduced-order model, are finally implemented in the high-fidelity model for the rejection of flow disturbances. Results show that the wing aerodynamic performance is noticeably enhanced through the actuation as the disturbances on the lift in case of gusts can be reduced up to 60%.

description: We perform a systematic study on the decorrelation of anisotropic flows along the pseudorapidity in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC energies. The dynamical evolution of the QGP fireball is simulated via the CLVisc (ideal) (3+1)-dimensional hydrodynamics model, with the fully fluctuating initial condition from A-Multi-Phase-Transport (AMPT) model. Detailed analysis is performed on the longitudinal decorrelations of elliptic, triangular and quadrangular flows in terms of flow vectors, flow magnitudes and flow orientations (event planes). It is found that pure flow magnitudes have smaller longitudinal decorrelation than pure flow orientations, and the decorrelation of flow vectors is a combined effect of both flow magnitudes and orientations. The longitudinal decorrelation of elliptic flow has a strong and non-monotonic centrality dependence due to the initial elliptic collision geometry: smallest decorrelation in mid-central collisions. In contrast, the decorrelations of triangular and quadrangular flows have weak centrality dependence, slightly larger decorrelations in more peripheral collisions. Our numerical results for Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC are in good agreement with the ATLAS data, while our RHIC results predict much larger longitudinal decorrelations as compared to the LHC. We further analyze the longitudinal structures of the AMPT initial conditions and find that the final-state longitudinal decorrelation effects are strongly correlated with the lengths of the initial string structures in the AMPT model. The decorrelation effects are typically larger at lower collision energies and in more peripheral collisions due to shorter lengths of the string structures in the initial states.

However, concerns have been raised about the suspension of Opposition members of parliament (MPs). These suspensions highlight broader issues regarding executive–legislative relations in Fiji’s parliament and the prospects of a robust parliamentary democracy in Fiji. This In Brief examines the MP suspensions, highlights some of the concerns that have been raised both in Fiji and abroad and considers some implications.

description: It is shown that a collection of photons with nearly the same frequency exhibits a Bose "condensation" type of phenomenon at about 3 degrees K corresponding to a peak intensity at a wave length of about 0.4cm. This could give a mechanism for the observed Cosmic Background Radiation, and also explain some curious features.

Why not use the thermal radiation for nanothermometry?

description: The measurement of temperature with nanoscale spatial resolution is an emerging new technology and it has important impact in various fields. An ideal nanothermometer should not only be accurate, but also applicable over a wide temperature range and under diverse conditions. Furthermore, the measurement time should be short enough to follow the evolution of the system. However, many of the existing techniques are limited by drawbacks such as low sensitivity and fluctuations of fluorescence. Therefore, Plank's law offers an appealing relation between the absolute temperature of the system under interrogation and the thermal spectrum. Despite this, thermal radiation spectroscopy is unsuitable for far-field nanothermometry, primarily because of the power loss in the near surroundings and a poor spatial resolution.

Unconfined and confined turbulent plumes and jets in stratified environments
Creators: name: Shrinivas, Ajay
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The turbulent motions of buoyant plumes and momentum jets are ubiquitous in both the natural and built environments where a stable density stratification typically persists. The fluid mechanics of turbulent plumes and jets in stratified environments encompasses a fascinating and exigent field of research motivated by an extensive range of practical applications that include low-energy building ventilation, urban air quality management and the dispersion of pollutants in natural water bodies and the atmosphere. Merely as a consequence of vertical variations in the density of the ambient fluid, variations which often occur rapidly with depth in a shallow transitional layer (e.g. oceanic thermoclines and atmospheric inversions) separating two fluid masses, the fundamental behaviour of plumes and jets (in otherwise uniform environments) can be profoundly modified. This thesis investigates theoretically two intrinsic facets of turbulent plumes and jets in stratified environments. First, we examine the classic transport phenomenon of turbulent entrainment across a density interface driven by the localised impingement of a vertically-forced high-Reynolds-number jet. By developing theoretical models, we capture and elucidate the dominant physics at the heart of this complex physical process. Notably, the predictions of these models are in close agreement with existing experimental measurements. By unravelling the effects of confinement imposed by the physical boundaries of a box on the dynamics of interfacial entrainment, we highlight underlying physical reasons for the controversy surrounding the law governing the rate of entrainment across an interface. Second, we examine the time-dependent density stratification that develops in a confined environment following the activation of two turbulent plumes of unequal strengths. We show that the buoyancy of a bounded fluid layer can exceed, or overshoot, its steady value and that the plumes can induce a bulk overturning of the buoyant region. Finally, we discuss the wider context of this research and its application in engineering, the atmospheric sciences and oceanography.

description: A series of three-coordinate dinuclear copper halide complexes containing acarbazolyl monodentate phosphine ligand, [CuX(dppc)]2 (dppc =3,6-di-tert-butyl-9-[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]carbazole, X = I (1), Br (2), and Cl (3)), were synthesized, and their molecular structures and photophysical properties were investigated. The structural analysis reveals that two copper(I) centers are bridged by two halogen ligands to form a dinuclear structure with a four-membered Cu2X2 ring. Crystal structures of 1-3 contain 1-D supramolecular arrays constructed by intermolecular C–H···π interactions. These complexes exhibit blue to green emission in the solid state at room temperature and have peak emission wavelengths at 492–495 nm with microsecond lifetimes and low emission quantum yields (< 0.01%). The emission of 1-3 mainly originates from MLCT, XLCT, and IL (intraligand) transitions. The three complexes displayed good thermal stability.

description: We face the complex problem of timely, accurate and mutually satisfactory mediation between job offers and suitable applicant profiles by means of semantic processing techniques. In fact, this problem has become a major challenge for all public and private recruitment agencies around the world as well as for employers and job seekers. It is widely agreed that smart algorithms for automatically matching, learning, and querying job offers and candidate profiles will provide a key technology of high importance and impact and will help to counter the lack of skilled labor and/or appropriate job positions for unemployed people. Additionally, such a framework can support global matching aiming at finding an optimal allocation of job seekers to available jobs, which is relevant for independent employment agencies, e.g. in order to reduce unemployment.
First Comparison of Ionization and Metallicity in Two Lines of Sight Toward HE 1104-1805 AB at z=1.66

description: Using new HST/FOS, NTT/EMMI, and Keck/HIRES spectra of the gravitationally-lensed double QSO HE 1104-1805 AB (z=2.31, θ=3.2), and assuming UV photoionization by a metagalactic radiation field, we derive physical conditions (ionization levels, metal abundances and cloud sizes along the lines of sight) in five CIV+MgII absorption systems clustered around z=1.66 along the two lines of sight. Three of these systems are associated with a damped Ly-alpha (DLA) system with logN(HI)=20.85, which is observed in A. The other two systems are associated with a Lyman-limit system with logN(HI)=17.57 (B). The CIV and MgII line profiles in A resemble those in the B spectra, and span Δv=360 km/s. Assuming that the relative metal abundances in these absorption systems are the same as observed in the DLA system, we find that the observed N(CIV)/N(MgII) ratios imply ionization parameters of logΓ=-2.95 to -2.35. Consequently, these clouds should be small (0.5-1.6 kpc with a hydrogen density n_H<=0.01 cm-3) and relatively highly ionized. The absorption systems to B are found to have a metallicity 0.63 times lower than the metallicity of the gas giving rise to the DLA system, Z(DLA)= 0.1*Z(solar). We detect OVI at z=1.66253 in both QSO spectra, but no associated NV. Our model calculations lead us to conclude that the CIV clouds should be surrounded by large (>= 100 kpc) highly ionized low-density clouds (n_H\sim e-4 cm-3), in which OVI, but only weak CIV absorption occurs. In this state, logΓ>=-1.2 reproduces the observed ratio of N(OVI)/N(NV)>60. These results are discussed in view of the disk/halo and hierarchical structure formation models.

description: The electronic structures of a representative rare earth monopnictide (i.e., DySb) under high magnetic field (i.e., in the ferromagnetic state) are studied from both experimental and theoretical aspects. A non-saturated extremely large positive magnetoresistance (XMR) is observed (as large as 3.7*10^4% at 1.8 K and 38.7 T), along with the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations that are well reproduced by our first principles calculations. Three possible origins of XMR are examined. Although a band inversion is found theoretically, suggesting that DySb might be topologically nontrivial, it is deeply underneath the Fermi level, which rules out a topological nature of the XMR. The total densities of electron-like and hole-like carriers are not fully compensated, showing that compensation is unlikely to account for the XMR. The XMR is eventually understood in terms of high mobility that is associated with the steep linear bands. This discovery is important to the intensive studies on the XMR of rare earth monopnictides.

description: We have previously introduced the parameter `alpha' as an indicator of stability to m=2 nonaxisymmetric modes in rotating, self-gravitating, axisymmetric, gaseous and stellar systems. This parameter can be written as a function of the total rotational kinetic energy, the total gravitational potential energy, and as a function of the topology/connectedness and the geometric shape of a system. Here we extend the stability criterion to nonaxisymmetric equilibrium systems, such as ellipsoids and elliptical disks and cylinders. We test the validity of this extension by considering predictions for previously published, gaseous and stellar, nonaxisymmetric models. The above formulation and critical values account accurately for the stability properties of m=2 modes in gaseous Riemann S-type ellipsoids (including the Jacobi and Dedekind ellipsoids) and elliptical Riemann disks as well as in stellar elliptical Freeman disks and cylinders: all these systems are dynamically stable except for the stellar elliptical Freeman disks that exhibit a relatively small region of m=2 dynamical instability.

description: Balanced homodyne detector (BHD) that can measure the field quadratures of coherent states has been widely used in a range of quantum information technologies. Generally, the BHD tends to suffer from narrow bands and an expanding bandwidth behavior usually traps into a compromise with the gain, electronic noise, and quantum to classical noise ratio, etc. In this paper, we design and construct a wideband BHD based on radio frequency and integrated circuit technology. Our BHD shows bandwidth behavior up to 1.2 GHz and its quantum to classical noise ratio is around 18 dB. Simultaneously, the BHD has a linear performance with a gain of 4.86k and its common mode rejection ratio has also been tested as 57.9 dB. With this BHD, the secret key rate of continuous-variable quantum key distribution system has a potential to achieve 66.55 Mbps and 2.87 Mbps respectively at the transmission distance of 10 km and 45 km. Besides, with this BHD, the generation rate of quantum random number generator could reach up to 6.53Gbps.

description: Nowadays, there are a lot of techniques and tools for addressing the ontology matching problem; however, the complex nature of this problem means that the existing solutions are unsatisfactory. This work intends to shed some light on a more flexible way of matching ontologies using ontology meta-matching. This emerging technique selects appropriate algorithms and their associated weights and thresholds in scenarios where accurate ontology matching is necessary. We think that an overview of the problem and an analysis of the existing state-of-the-art solutions will help researchers and practitioners to identify the most appropriate specific features and global strategies in order to build more accurate and dynamic systems following this paradigm.
