Abstract:
Community pharmacies are well positioned to participate in harm-minimisation services to reduce harms caused by both licit and illicit substances. Considering developments in pharmacist practices and the introduction of new professional pharmacy services, we identified a need to explore the contemporary role of community pharmacy in harm minimisation. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken to explore the opinions of stakeholders, pharmacy staff, and clients about the role of community pharmacy in harm minimisation, including provision of current services, experiences, and expectations. Participants (n = 28) included 5 stakeholders, 9 consumers, and 14 staff members from seven community pharmacies. Three over-arching themes were identified across the three participants groups: (i) scope and provision, (ii) complexity, and (iii) importance of person-centred advice and support in relation to community pharmacy harm minimisation services. Community pharmacies are valuable healthcare destinations for delivery of harm minimisation services, with scope for service expansion. Further education, support, and remuneration are needed, as well as linkage to other sector providers, in order to ensure that pharmacists and pharmacy staff are well equipped to provide a range of harm minimisation services.

Abstract:
Vector-sensor arrays such as those composed of crossed dipole pairs are used as they can account for a signal’s polarisation in addition to the usual direction of arrival information, hence allowing expanded capacity of the system. The problem of designing fixed beamformers based on such an array, with a quaternionic signal model, is considered in this paper. Firstly, we consider the problem of designing the weight coefficients for a fixed set of vector-sensor locations. This can be achieved by minimising the sidelobe levels while keeping a unitary response for the main lobe. The second problem is then how to find a sparse set of sensor locations which can be efficiently used to implement a fixed beamformer. We propose solving this problem by converting the traditionall1norm minimisation associated with compressive sensing into a modifiedl1norm minimisation which simultaneously minimises all four parts of the quaternionic weight coefficients. Further improvements can be made in terms of sparsity by converting the problem into a series of iteratively solved reweighted minimisations, as well as being able to enforce a minimum spacing between active sensor locations. Design examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design methods.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectives: The aim of this study was to compare aspects of the quality of life of drug users on a methadone maintenance programme to drug users on a harm minimisation programme.Method: Thirty-six clients attending the harm minimisation programme in the National Drug Treatment Centre, Dublin, were matched for age and sex to 36 clients on the methadone maintenance programme. All were interviewed with the SF-36 Health Survey Questionnaire to measure health related quality of life and with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADs) to measure psychological morbidity.Results: More clients from the harm minimisation programme had previous psychiatric problems than clients on the methadone maintenance programme, with an odds ratio of 4.3 CI(1.2,15.2). On the HADs, clients on the methadone maintenance programme had significantly lower depression scores than clients on the harm minimisation programme. In addition more clients on the harm minimisation programme were severely depressed than clients on the methadone maintenance programme. On the UK SF-36 Scale, clients on the harm minimisation programme perceived a significantly greater deterioration in ‘change in health’ over the previous year than clients on the methadone maintenance programme.Conclusions: Although clients on a methadone maintenance programme had an improved perception of their quality of life in relation to psychological and overall health function from the previous year, compared to clients on a harm minimisation programme, there still existed varying degrees of psychopathology in both groups which need to be considered when providing future services for drug users.

This work proposes a systemic optimisation of the water balance of the Skorpion Zinc refinery, the case study selected for this work. The Skorpion process is located in Rosh Pinah in Namibia and was selected due to its location on an ecologally sensitive region where water is scarce. The project proposes that peocess optimisation cannot occure through focus on unit operations in isolation, but rather to use the interactions between the different operations to optimise the process systematically.

Abstract:
En astronautique, une question importante est de contrôler le mouvement d’un satellite soumis à la gravitation des corps célestes de telle sorte que certains indices de performance soient minimisés (ou maximisés). Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à la minimisation de la norme L¹ du contrôle pour le problème circulaire restreint des trois corps. Les conditions nécessaires à l’optimalité sont obtenues en utilisant le principe du maximum de Pontryagin, révélant l’existence de contrôles bang-bang et singuliers. En s’appuyant sur les résultats de Marchal [1] et Zelikin et al. [2], la présence du phénomène de Fuller est mise en évidence par l’analyse des es extrêmales singulières. La contrôlabilité pour le problème à deux corps (un cas dégénéré du problème circulaire restreint des trois corps) avec un contrôle prenant des valeurs dans une boule euclidienne est caractérisée dans le chapitre 2. Le résultat de contrôlabilité est facilement étendu au problème des trois corps puisque le champ de vecteurs correspondant à la dérive est récurrent. En conséquence, si les trajectoires contrôlées admissibles restent dans un compact fixé, l’existence des solutions du problème de minimisation L¹ peut être obtenu par une combinaison du théorème de Filippov (voir [4, chapitre 10]) et une procédure appropriée de convexification (voir [5]). En dimension finie, le problème de minimisation L¹ est bien connu pour générer des solutions où le contrôle s’annule sur certains intervalles de temps. Bien que le principe du maximum de Pontryagin soit un outil puissant pour identifier les solutions candidates pour le problème de minimisation L¹, il ne peut pas garantir que ces candidats sont au moins localement optimaux sauf si certaines conditions d’optimalité suffisantes sont satisfaites. En effet, il est une condition préalable pour établir (et pour être capable de vérifier) les conditions d’optimalité nécessaires et suffisantes pour résoudre le problème de minimisation L¹. Dans cette thèse, l’idée cruciale pour obtenir de telles conditions est de construire une famille paramétrée d’extrémales telle que l’extrémale de référence peut être intégrée dans un champ d’extrémales. Deux conditions de non-pliage pour la projection canonique de la famille paramétrée d’extrémales sont proposées. En ce qui concerne le cas de points terminaux fixés, ces conditions de non-pliage sont suffisantes pour garantir que l’extrémale de référence est localement minimisante tant que chaque point de commutation est régulier (cf. chapitre 3). Si le point terminal n’est pas fixe mais varie sur une sous-variété lisse, une condition suffisante supplémentaire impliquant la géométrie de variété de cible est établie (cf. chapitre 4). Bien que diverses méthodes numériques, y compris celles considérées comme directes [6, 7], indirectes [5, 8], et hybrides [11], dans la littérature sont en mesure de calculer des solutions optimales, nous ne pouvons pas attendre d’un satellite piloté par le contrôle optimal précalculé (ou le contrôle nominal) de se déplacer sur la trajectoire optimale précalculée (ou trajectoire nominale) en raison de perturbations et des erreurs inévitables. Afin d’éviter de recalculer une nouvelle trajectoire optimale une fois que la déviation de la trajectoire nominale s’est produite, le contrôle de rétroaction optimale voisin, qui est probablement l’application pratique la plus importante de la théorie du contrôle optimal [12, Chapitre 5], est obtenu en paramétrant les extrémales voisines autour de la nominale (cf. chapitre 5). Étant donné que la fonction de contrôle optimal est bang-bang, le contrôle optimal voisin comprend non seulement la rétroaction sur la direction de poussée, mais aussi celle sur les instants de commutation. En outre, une analyse géométrique montre qu’il est impossible de construire un contrôle optimal voisin une fois que le point conjugué apparaisse ou bien entre ou bien à des instants de commutation
In astronautics, an important issue is to control the motion of a satellite subject to the gravitation of celestial bodies in such a way that certain performance indices are minimized (or maximized). In the thesis, we are interested in minimizing the L¹-norm of control for the circular restricted three-body problem. The necessary conditions for optimality are derived by using the Pontryagin maximum principle, revealing the existence of bang-bang and singular controls. Singular extremals are analyzed, and the Fuller phenomenon shows up according to the theories developed by Marchal [1] and Zelikin et al. [2, 3]. The controllability for the controlled two-body problem (a degenerate case of the circular restricted three-body problem) with control taking values in a Euclidean ball is addressed first (cf. Chapter 2). The controllability result is readily extended to the three-body problem since the drift vector field of the three-body problem is recurrent. As a result, if the admissible controlled trajectories remain in a fixed compact set, the existence of the solutions of the L¹-minimizaion problem can be obtained by a combination of Filippov theorem (see [4, Chapter 10], e.g.) and a suitable convexification procedure (see, e.g., [5]). In finite dimensions, the L¹-minimization problem is well-known to generate solutions where the control vanishes on some time intervals. While the Pontryagin maximum principle is a powerful tool to identify candidate solutions for L1-minimization problem, it cannot guarantee that the these candidates are at least locally optimal unless sufficient optimality conditions are satisfied. Indeed, it is a prerequisite to establish (as well as to be able to verify) the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in order to solve the L¹-minimization problem. In this thesis, the crucial idea for establishing such conditions is to construct a parameterized family of extremals such that the reference extremal can be embedded into a field of extremals. Two no-fold conditions for the canonical projection of the parameterized family of extremals are devised. For the scenario of fixed endpoints, these no-fold conditions are sufficient to guarantee that the reference extremal is locally minimizing provided that each switching point is regular (cf. Chapter 3). If the terminal point is not fixed but varies on a smooth submanifold, an extra sufficient condition involving the geometry of the target manifold is established (cf. Chapter 4). Although various numerical methods, including the ones categorized as direct [6, 7], in- direct [5, 8, 9], and hybrid [10], in the literature are able to compute optimal solutions, one cannot expect a satellite steered by the precomputed optimal control (or nominal control) to move on the precomputed optimal trajectory (or nominal trajectory) due to unavoidable perturbations and errors. In order to avoid recomputing a new optimal trajectory once a deviation from the nominal trajectory occurs, the neighboring optimal feedback control, which is probably the most important practical application of optimal control theory [11, Chapter 5], is derived by parameterizing the neighboring extremals around the nominal one (cf. Chapter 5). Since the optimal control function is bang-bang, the neighboring optimal control consists of not only the feedback on thrust direction but also that on switching times. Moreover, a geometric analysis shows that it is impossible to construct the neighboring optimal control once a conjugate point occurs either between or at switching times

Abstract:
Dans ce travail de thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés aux problèmes d'ordonnancement avec minimisation des encours. Cet objectif se traduit par la minimisation du flot moyen (temps de séjour moyen des produits dans l'atelier). Le critère de minimisation du flot est une mesure de performance souvent rencontrée en pratique. La minimisation des encours permet de raccourcir le temps de cycle du produit et ainsi maîtriser sa date de sortie de l'atelier. Nous nous sommes intéressés particulièrement à trois types de problèmes : le problème du flow shop, le problème sur une machine avec contrainte d'indisponibilité de la machine et le problème sur une machine avec dates d'arrivées des travaux. Nous commençons notre étude par une présentation générale des problèmes d'ordonnancement, de leur complexité et un état de l'art des problèmes d'ordonnancement avec minimisation des encours. Pour le problème du flow shop, pour mieux comprendre l'influence des temps opératoires sur le résultat des méthodes de résolution, ous présentons une étude théorique du comportement de la fonction objectif et du résultat de l'ordonnancement suite à une variation des temps opératoires des travaux. Enfin, pour résoudre chacun des problèmes considérés, nous proposons différentes méthodes approximatives et exactes. Une analyse théorique et expérimentale est présentée pour chacune des méthodes proposées afin de juger sa performance.

Abstract:
Construction waste minimization and management plays an efficient role in achieving sustainability by providing appropriate consideration to the environment, community, and social conditions by delivering built assets. The construction industry has a significant effect on the environment in terms of resource consumption and waste production. Recent statistics published by the UK Government disclose that the construction and demolition sector generates approximately 32% of the total waste in the UK, which is three times more than the waste generated by all households combined. Concrete has been a leading construction material for more than a century. However, current and on-going studies in the field of construction waste minimization and management mostly focus on general waste management or examine one specific method of waste minimization. While only a limited number of studies have been conducted to examine on-site concrete waste minimization, the literature reveals that research in this context is required. This research aimed to propose an on-site concrete waste minimisation framework (OCWMF) for construction projects, which could potentially be applicable and achievable in Iran. In this pursuit, six objectuves were determined to guide the research, which are: to identify the common methods on OCWM in the UK as a successful pattern in WM; to rank OCWM methods in UK; to rank OCWM methods in Iran; to identify the differences between common methods of OCWM in the UK and Iran and explore the possible causes of these differences; and to investigate the causes of differences in the favoured methods in the UK and the favoured methods in Iran. Finally, the last objective was to propose a framework for Iran. Both quantitative and qualitative strategies as well as a combination of qualitative and quantitative strategies were adopted for this research. Data was collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews in the UK (N=5), a self-administered postal questionnaire survey in the UK (N=196 distributed, N=73 received), a self-administered postal questionnaire survey in Iran (N=196 distributed, N=110 received), and face-to-face semi-structured interviews in Iran (N=10). Interviewees were project managers, site superintendents, consultants, and engineers selected from the top 100 contractor companies and the top 100 consultant companies in the UK and in Iram. The questionnaire questions were developed on the findings of the literature review and the semi-structured interviews in the UK. Then, to examine the outcomes of interviews in Iran, three case studies in Iran was observed. Finally, emanating from study results, an OCWMF was developed and refined using discussions (N=2), a questionnaire (N=6), and interviews (N=7). Key findings that emerged from the study include: legislation and regulations in the UK are the main drivers for construction waste reduction; governmental initiatives in reducing waste, use of pre-fabricated building components, and education and training are the most recommended OCWM methods in the UK in terms of overall worthiness or spending to create savings or minimize waste; governmental incentives to reduce waste, education and training, and purchase management are the most recommended methods in Iran; the main differences between proposed OCWM methods in Iran and in the UK are in the use of pre-fabricated concrete elements (PCEs) and ready-mix concrete; the cost of using PCEs in the main cause of difference in methods between the countries; and the consultants and contractors involved in the case study were not interested in using PCEs in their projects due to the high costs involved despite the significant reduction in waste when this method is used. In conclusion, the framework proposed various remedies that could potentially be used for improving OCWM in Iran. This study has also made some recommendations for the industry, policy makers, and for further research. The content should be of interest to contractors, clients, and engineers.

Abstract:
After reviewing previously published techniques, a new algorithm is presented for optimising variable parameters in explicitly correlated many-body trial wavefunctions for use in variational quantum Monte Carlo (VMC) and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations. The method optimises the parameters with respect to the VMC energy by extending a low-noise VMC implementation of diagonalisation to include parameters which affect the wavefunction to higher than first-order. Similarly to minimising the variance of the local energy by fixed-sampling, accurate results are achieved using a relatively small number of VMC configurations because the optimisation is based on a least-squares fitting procedure. The method is tested by optimising six small examples intended to broadly cover the range of systems and wavefunctions typically treated using VMC and DMC, including atoms, molecules, and extended systems. Least-squares energy minimisation is found to be stable, fast enough to be practical, and capable of achieving lower VMC energies than minimisation of the filtered underweighted variance of the local energy (and the underweighted mean absolute deviation from the median local energy) by fixed-sampling. Least-squares energy minimisation is used to optimise four different wavefunctions for each of the all-electron first row atoms, from lithium to neon: single-determinant Slater-Jastrow wavefunctions with and without backflow transformations, and multi-determinant Slater-Jastrow wavefunctions with and without backflow transformations. The optimisations are more stable and successful than some previous variance minimisations using similar wavefunctions. The DMC energies of the energy-optimised wavefunctions for the atoms from boron to neon are significantly lower than previously published results, and, using the multi-determinant Slater-Jastrow wavefunctions with backflow, the calculations recover at least 90% of the correlation energies for lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen and neon, 97% for oxygen, and 98% for fluorine.

Abstract:
Population growth, increasing prosperity and changing consumer habits globally are increasing demand for consumer electronics. Further to this, rapid changes in technology, falling prices, increased affordability and consumer appetite for new products have exacerbated e-waste management challenges and seen millions of tons of electronic devices become obsolete. This rapid literature review collates evidence from academic, policy focussed and grey literature on the technical aspects e-waste value chains. The report should be read in conjunction with two earlier reports on e-waste management1. E-waste is any electrical or electronic equipment, including all components, subassemblies and consumables, which are part of the equipment at the time the equipment becomes waste. The exact treatment of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) can vary enormously according to the category of WEEE and technology that is used. Electrical and electronic items contain a wide variety of materials. As a result of this complex mix of product types and materials, some of which are hazardous (including arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury and certain flame retardants) multiple approaches to WEEE are required, each with specific technical guidelines. This report is structured as follows: Section two provides an introduction to the technical aspects of e-waste management, including a reflection on the challenges and complexities of managing a range of product types involving a range of components and pollutants. Section three provides an annotated bibliography of key readings that discuss elements of the technical aspects of managing e-waste. This bibliography includes readings on national guidelines, training manuals and technical notes produced by the Basel convention and courses. WEEE recycling can be a complex and multifaced process. In order to manage e-waste effectively, the following must be in place Legislative and regulatory frameworks Waste Prevention and minimisation guidelines Identification of waste mechanisms Sampling, analysis and monitoring expertise Handling, collection, packaging, labelling, transportation and storage guidelines Environmentally sound disposal guidelines Management is further complicated by the speed of technological advance with technologies becoming redundant much sooner than initially planned. Case studies show that the average actual lifetimes of certain electronic products are at least 2.3 years shorter than either their designed or desired lifetimes.
