description: The stem bark of Cussonia bancoensis is used traditionally for the treatment of different types of infection and pain. A bioassay guided fractionation of the methanol stem bark extract led to the isolation of five pentacyclic triterpenes and glycosides identified based on spectroscopic data as 23-hydroxyursolic acid (CB1), hederagenin (CB2), 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-echinocystic acid (CB3), 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl- oleanolic acid (CB4) and 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-ursolic acid (CB5). CB2 - CB5 are being reported for the first time from this species. The compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against ten microorganisms using the HT-SPOTi method. CB3 demonstrated remarkable antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, S. pyogens, E. faecalis, S. typhi and C. albicans at MICs between 3.12 and 12.5 µg/mL. Among the studied compounds, it was observed that hydroxylation of position C-16 of the oleanane skeleton may enhance antimicrobial activity. This study gives insight into the anti-infective constituents of the stem bark of C. bancoensis and justifies its use in ethnomedicine.

description: The status of the EDELWEISS experiment (underground dark matter search with heat-ionisation bolometers) is reviewed. Auspicious results achieved with a prototype 70 g Ge heat-ionisation detector under a 2 V reverse bias tension are discussed. Based on gamma and neutron calibrations, a best-case rejection factor, over the 15-45 keV range, of 99.7 % for gammas, with an acceptance of 94 % for neutrons, is presented first. Some operational results of physical interest obtained under poor low radioactivity conditions follow. They include a raw event rate of around 30 events/day/kg/keV over the same energy range, and, after rejection of part of the background, lead to a conservative upper limit on the signal of approximately 1.6 events/day/kg/keV at a 90 % confidence level. Performance degrading surface effects of the detector are speculated upon; and planned upgrades are summarized.

A novel double-targeted bacteriophage vector for systemic cancer gene therapy
Creators: name: Kia Kojouri, Azadeh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: A successful cancer gene therapy requires systemic gene delivery vectors capable of efficient and selective gene transfer to tumour sites. Two main approaches have been undertaken for targeted cancer gene therapy: i) restriction of transgene expression in tumour cells by using tumour specific promoters and ii) selective delivery of vectors of gene therapy to tumours by ligand targeting. Amongst many characterised tumour specific promoters, the stress-inducible promoter of the Glucose-regulated protein 78 (Grp78) gene holds great potential to improve the practice of cancer gene therapy as its activity is highly induced under conditions often found in the tumour microenvironment such as acidic pH, glucose deprivation and chronic anoxia. However, the clinical application of the Grp78 promoter in cancer gene therapy has been limited by lack of delivery strategies via the systemic routes. In 2006, an efficient tumour targeted vector, adeno-associated virus/phage termed AAV/Phage or AAVP, was reported. In this AAVP vector, the M13 bacteriophage (phage) was used as a vehicle to target αv integrin receptors, which are selectively overexpressed in tumours, and to deliver the AAV transgene cassette driving transgene expression from a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. Systemic administration of the targeted AAVP viral phage vector has been shown to successfully mediate therapeutic transgene expression in several preclinical tumour models. Thus, the AAVP particle provides a suitable vector candidate for double targeting of cancer after systemic administration. Herein, I combined ligand-directed targeting of AAVP vector with transcriptional targeting using the Grp78 promoter in one single platform. In the first half of the thesis I show that the double-targeted vector provides sustained and long-term transgene expression in transduced tumour cells in vitro. Moreover, compared to the conventional phage carrying the CMV promoter, the new hybrid phage provided a significant tumour killing both in vitro and in vivo using the HSVtk gene and ganciclovir suicide therapy. More importantly in chapter 5, I describe a novel mechanism of Grp78 promoter activation by HSVtk and ganciclovir suicide therapy. In chapter 6, in addition to the vector safety, I show the superior tumour transduction in vivo after systemic administration of double-targeted AAVP vector over the original AAVP carrying the CMV promoter. In Chapter 7, I demonstrate strong dose dependent chemotherapeutic induction of the Grp78 promoter in the context of AAVP vector. Together, all data presented in this thesis validate the great potential of the Grp78 promoter in targeted systemic cancer gene therapy and report the efficacy of the double-targeted AAVP vector which proves useful for translation into clinical applications.

description: In the present work we provide an easily accessible way to achieve the singlet-triplet Kondo effect in a hybrid system consisting of a quantum point contact (QPC) coupled to an electronic cavity. We show that by activating the coupling between the QPC and cavity, a zero-bias anomaly occurs in a low conductance regime, a coexistence of zero-bias and finite-bias anomaly (FBA) in a medium conductance regime, and a FBA-only anomaly in a high conductance regime. The latter two observations are due to the singlet-triplet Kondo effect.
Animating the archive though creative non-fiction: Locating and reimagining the lives of nineteenth-century rural working-class people in colonial documents

subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: This thesis, Animating the archive though creative non-fiction: locating and reimagining the lives of nineteenth-century rural working-class people in colonial documents, is comprised of the creative work The stone cairn: a tale of nineteenth-century rural crime and punishment, and an exegesis. In the creative work, imaginative reconstructions inform historical facts to piece together a story involving events connected to the 1854 murder of shepherd Thomas Brookhouse by another shepherd, Patrick Geary in western Victoria. Recreating the narrative communicates the experience of Brookhouse and Geary, as well as other rural working-class people of the time, highlighting stories that defy common tropes and themes in Australian literature about this group of people who left few documentary traces of their lives.
In the exegesis I examine two interconnected theoretical modes on which creative non-fiction writing is used: research-led practice and practice-led research. I discuss my own intellectual journey as one formed within a research-led practice approach. My discovery of practice-led research as a method of sparking imagination and enhancing creativity is explored. The creation of new knowledge and the value of this new approach for its communication to a broad audience that emerges from this thesis are also discussed.

description: The bosonic sectors of the eleven dimensional and IIA supergravity theories are derived as non-linear realisations. The underlying group includes the conformal group, the general linear group and as well as automorphisms of the supersymmetry algebra.

description: Cardosin A is an aspartic protease present in large amount in the pistils of cardoon flowers. This
protease is known to contain an -Arg-Gly-Asp- (RGD) motif located on the molecular surface. In
this study, we found that isolated recombinant cardosin A attached to human epithelial cells
A549, mediated by the binding of its RGD motif to cell surface integrins. The cell bound cardosin
A was internalized to endosomes and lysosomes and triggered the permeability of lysosomal
membrane leading to apoptosis of the epithelial cells. These events are identical to those
observed for three RGD-containing aspartic proteases, Saps 4-6, secreted by Candida albicans.
Such a process, which has been called the Trojan Horse mechanism, is believed to benefit the
invasion of C. albican into the epithelium of the host. The location of the RGD motifs of cardosin
A and Saps 4-6 are on the opposite ends of the homologous three-dimensional structures,
suggesting that the Trojan Horse mechanism is insensitive to the RGD position. Current finding
also suggests that cardosin A may have a defensive function against the ingestion of cardoon
flowers by human, insects, and other herbivores.

description: Some years ago, one of the authors~(MM) revived a concept to which he gave the name of single-particle Dirac oscillator, while another~(CQ) showed that it corresponds to a realization of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The Dirac oscillator in its one- and many-body versions has had a great number of applications. Recently, it included the analytic expression for the eigenstates and eigenvalues of a two-particle system with a new type of Dirac oscillator interaction of frequency~$ω$. By considering the latter together with its partner corresponding to the replacement of~$ω$ by~$-ω$, we are able to get a supersymmetric formulation of the problem and find the superalgebra that explains its degeneracy.

description: The differential cross section for scattering of the astrophysically important X-ray emission lines by a helium atom is calculated with an accuracy sufficient for astrophysical applications. For a helium atom an energy ``gap'' (due to the structure of the energy levels) is twice larger than for a hydrogen atom and the ``compton profile'' (due to broader distribution of an electron momentum) is significantly shallower. This opens principle possibility to distinguish helium and hydrogen contributions, observing scattered spectra of X-ray emission lines. With the appearance of a new generation of X-ray telescopes, combining a large effective area and an excellent energy resolution it may be possible to measure helium abundance in the molecular clouds in the Galactic Center region, in the vicinity of AGNs or on the surface of cold flaring stars.

description: We present a numerical study of the interaction quench dynamics in a superfluid ultracold Fermi gas confined in a three-dimensional cigar-shaped harmonic trap. In the present paper we investigate the amplitude mode of the superfluid order parameter after interaction quenches which start deep in the BCS phase and end in the BCS-BEC crossover regime. To this end, we exploit the Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism which takes the confinement potential explicitly into account and provides a microscopic fully coherent description of the system. We find an anharmonic nonlinear oscillation of the modulus of the superfluid order parameter, i.e., of the Higgs mode. This oscillation persists for large times with only a small amplitude modulation being visible. We connect the frequency and the mean value of this oscillation with the breaking of Cooper pairs in the superfluid phase. Additionally, we demonstrate that the occurrence of this persistent oscillation is connected to the onset of chaotic dynamics in our model. Finally, we calculate an interaction quench phase diagram of the Higgs mode for quenches on the BCS side of the BCS-BEC crossover and discuss its properties as a function of the aspect ratio of the cigar-shaped trap.

description: Different approaches in machine translation achieve similar translation quality with a variety of translations in the output. Recently it has been shown, that it is possible to leverage the individual strengths of various systems and improve the overall translation quality by combining translation outputs. In this paper we present a method of hypothesis selection which is relatively simple compared to system combination methods which construct a synthesis of the input hypotheses. Our method uses information from n-best lists from several MT systems and features on the sentence level which are independent from the MT systems involved to improve the translation quality.

Experimental study of combustion and scalar mixing in swirling jet flows
Creators: name: Stetsyuk, Viacheslav
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Turbulent mixing of passive scalar field and combustion of gaseous fuel were studied in the context of a non-premixed isothermal and reacting swirling jets discharged from a swirl-stabilised burner, as a function of swirl number. The rate of molecular mixing, which was quantified by the scalar dissipation rate was computed from measured scalar fields that were recorded by using Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) of acetone. The influence of the swirl number on the scalar mixing, unconditional and conditional scalar dissipation rate statistics was investigated. Scalar fields were measured with an average error of 3%. Scalar dissipation rate was measured with an average error of 12% after de-nosing. The influence of swirl number on combustion characteristics was examined by using Rayleigh scattering with accuracy of 90%. The flow fields in non-reacting and reacting swirling jets were investigated by using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The effect of swirl number on a recirculation zone was shown and discussed. The flow structures were evaluated by using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. Experimental assessment of presumed filtered density function and subgrid scale (SGS) scalar variance models that are being developed in the context of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was performed by using the data obtained from measured scalar fields. Measurements were performed in a flow formed by discharging a central jet in the annular stream of swirling air. This is a typical geometry used in swirl-stabilised burners where the central jet is the flow. The measurements were performed at a constant Reynolds number of 28662, based on the area-averaged velocity of 8.46 (m/s) at the exit of the swirl-stabilised burner and the diameter of the annular swirling stream of 50.8(mm). Three swirl numbers S = {0.3, 0.58, 1.07} of the annular swirling stream were considered.

High-Power Laser Systems for Driving and Probing High Energy Density Physics Experiments

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis describes the construction of a hybrid OPCPA and Nd:Glass based laser system to provide advanced diagnostic capabilities for the MAGPIE pulsed power facility at Imperial College London. The laser system (named Cerberus) is designed to provide one short pulse 500 fs beam for proton probing and two long pulse beams, one for x-ray backlighting and one for Thomson scattering. The aim of this project is to accurately determine plasma parameters in a range of demanding experimental environments. The thesis is split into two sections; the first section provides details about the design and implementation of the laser system while the latter chapters present experimental data obtained on the MAGPIE facilty. The front end for the laser system is based on optically synchronised Optical Parametric Chirped Puled Amplification (OPCPA) which is supplemented by large aperture flashlamp pumped Nd:Glass power amplifiers in the latter stages to increase the energy to the Joule level. The use of optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) in the pre-amplifier stages reduces gain narrowing, B-integral and improves contrast. Simulations of the dispersive optics for the Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) system are described in detail. Spatially resolved Thomson scattering was used to measure temperature and velocity of ablation streams in aluminium and tungsten cylindrical wire arrays. The measurements show a peak ow velocity of 120 km/s and agree well with 3D MHD simulations for the case of aluminium. There is discrepancy with the tungsten data caused by the difficulty in handling of collisionality calculations. Novel data showing the self-emission of ions from tungsten radial wire arrays is presented as a key step towards laser driven proton probing of MAGPIE. It is observed that the bulk of the emission corresponds to low energy protons with energies of ~ 100 keV. Protons with energy > 600 keV were observed to emanate from the collapsing magnetic jet using a coded aperture camera. These results offer interesting new prospects in diagnosing wire arrays.

description: Functional traits are increasingly used to understand the ecology of plants and to predict their responses to global changes. Unfortunately, trait data are unavailable for the majority of plant species. The lack of trait data is especially prevalent for hard-to-measure traits and for tropical plant species, potentially due to the many inherent difficulties of working with species in remote, hyperdiverse rainforest systems. The living collections of botanic gardens provide convenient access to large numbers of tropical plant species and can potentially be used to quickly augment trait databases and advance our understanding of species' responses to climate change. In this review, we quantitatively assess the availability of trait data for tropical versus temperate species, the diversity of species available for sampling in several exemplar tropical botanic gardens and the validity of garden-based leaf and root trait measurements. Our analyses support the contention that the living collections of botanic gardens are a valuable scientific resource that can contribute significantly to research on plant functional ecology and conservation.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Biological collections for understanding biodiversity in the Anthropocene’.

description: The volume of research is increasing along with the steadily increasing digitization of research and the advent of open science. This puts a pressure on research information systems, which try to work with various research output types (e.g. publications and datasets) and the related information. This is even more of an acute issue for Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). When compared to e.g. natural sciences, SSH’s representation in various forms of research outputs is often lacking in research databases. One solution is national CRIS systems, which aim to provide a realistic and disciplinarily balanced picture on the research outputs produced by various research organizations in a given country. To achieve this, metadata for research outputs need to be consistent and, above all, interoperable. One component in this is to use persistent identifiers (PIDs). This paper presents a case of interoperability of SSH publications, datasets, and infrastructures. Linking research outputs, funding decisions, actors, and organizations with PIDs is the starting point of the Finnish Research.fi portal. We present and discuss the advancements that PIDs provide for research information management from the SSH point of view.

We consider here the model defined on the half-plane with a boundary and computed the associated factorizable boundary S-matrix. The conformal boundary conditions of this model were identified and the corresponding S-matrices were found. We also show how some of these S-matrices can be perturbed and generate ``flows'' between different boundary conditions.

description: We investigate the use of deep convolutional neural networks (deep CNNs) for automatic visual detection of galaxy mergers. Moreover, we investigate the use of transfer learning in conjunction with CNNs, by retraining networks first trained on pictures of everyday objects. We test the hypothesis that transfer learning is useful for improving classification performance for small training sets. This would make transfer learning useful for finding rare objects in astronomical imaging datasets. We find that these deep learning methods perform significantly better than current state-of-the-art merger detection methods based on nonparametric systems like CAS and GM$_{20}$. Our method is end-to-end and robust to image noise and distortions; it can be applied directly without image preprocessing. We also find that transfer learning can act as a regulariser in some cases, leading to better overall classification accuracy ($p = 0.02$). Transfer learning on our full training set leads to a lowered error rate from 0.038 $\pm$ 1 down to 0.032 $\pm$ 1, a relative improvement of 15%. Finally, we perform a basic sanity-check by creating a merger sample with our method, and comparing with an already existing, manually created merger catalogue in terms of colour-mass distribution and stellar mass function.

An Investigation of the Diagnostic Potential of Autofluorescence Lifetime Spectroscopy and Imaging for Label-Free Contrast of Disease
Creators: name: Coda, Sergio
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The work presented in this thesis aimed to study the application of fluorescence lifetime spectroscopy (FLS) and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) to investigate their potential for diagnostic contrast of diseased tissue with a particular emphasis on autofluorescence (AF) measurements of gastrointestinal (GI) disease. Initially, an ex vivo study utilising confocal FLIM was undertaken with 420 nm excitation to characterise the fluorescence lifetime (FL) images obtained from 71 GI samples from 35 patients. A significant decrease in FL was observed between normal colon and polyps (p = 0.024), and normal colon and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (p = 0.015). Confocal FLIM was also performed on 23 bladder samples. A longer, although not significant, FL for cancer was observed, in paired specimens (n = 5) instilled with a photosensitizer. The first in vivo study was a clinical investigation of skin cancer using a fibre-optic FL spectrofluorometer and involved the interrogation of 27 lesions from 25 patients. A significant decrease in the FL of basal cell carcinomas compared to healthy tissue was observed (p = 0.002) with 445 nm excitation. A novel clinically viable FLS fibre-optic probe was then applied ex vivo to measure 60 samples collected from 23 patients. In a paired analysis of neoplastic polyps and normal colon obtained from the same region of the colon in the same patient (n = 12), a significant decrease in FL was observed (p = 0.021) with 435 nm excitation. In contrast, with 375 nm excitation, the mean FL of IBD specimens (n = 4) was found to be longer than that of normal tissue, although not statistically significant. Finally, the FLS system was applied in vivo in 17 patients, with initial data indicating that 435 nm excitation results in AF lifetimes that are broadly consistent with ex vivo studies, although no diagnostically significant differences were observed in the signals obtained in vivo.

description: The driven, dissipative Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) provides a generic description of collective phases of interacting photons in cavity arrays. In the limit of strong optical nonlinearities (hard-core limit), the BHM maps on the dissipative, transverse-field XY model (XYM). The steady-state of the XYM can be analyzed using mean-field theory, which reveals a plethora of interesting dynamical phenomena. For example, strong hopping combined with a blue-detuned drive, leads to an instability of the homogeneous steady-state with respect to antiferromagnetic fluctuations. In this paper, we address the question whether such an antiferromagnetic instability survives in the presence of quantum correlations beyond the mean-field approximation. For that purpose, we employ a self-consistent $1/z$ expansion for the density matrix, where $z$ is the lattice coordination number, i.e., the number of nearest neighbours for each site. We show that quantum fluctuations stabilize a new homogeneous steady-state with antiferromagnetic correlations in agreement with exact numerical simulations for finite lattices. The latter manifests itself as short-ranged oscillations of the first and second-order spatial coherence functions of the photons emitted by the array.

description: A kinematical analysis applied to a sample of galaxy clusters indicates that the differences between the velocity distribution of elliptical and spiral galaxies are associated with the shape of their orbit families. The orbital anisotropies present on each morphological population could be measured with the use of a parameter which is the ratio of the radial and tangential velocity dispersions, and can be recovered through the observed line-of-sight velocity distribution. When a Gaussian velocity distribution is assumed, having different dispersions along the radial and tangential directions, we conclude that the orbits of elliptical galaxies in clusters are close to radial, while spirals have more circular shaped or isotropic orbits. Lenticulars galaxies shares an intermediate orbital parameter, between spirals and ellipticals.

Fig. 7 A Palm Civet
Notes.
This species was detected on six occasions (Table 2), five times in national park forest areas in two different camera trap sites and one camera trap site in human-disturbed forest area (Fig. 6). Nocturnal species detected exclusively via camera trap in remote forested areas, the palm civet’s diet includes insects, fruits, and small mammals. Its presence highlights the intactness of nocturnal food webs within the national park forest habitat (Veron et al. 2015).

description: We show that the noncommutative Wess-Zumino model is renormalizable to all orders of perturbation theory. The noncommutative scalar potential by itself is non-renormalizable but the Yukawa terms demanded by supersymmetry improve the situation turning the theory into a renormalizable one. As in the commutative case, there are neither quadratic nor linear divergences. Hence, the IR/UV mixing does not give rise to quadratic infrared poles.

description: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allows for the determination of atomic structures and concentrations of different chemicals in a biochemical sample of interest. MRS is used in vivo clinically to aid in the diagnosis of several pathologies that affect metabolic pathways in the body. Typically, this experiment produces a one dimensional (1D) 1H spectrum containing several peaks that are well associated with biochemicals, or metabolites. However, since many of these peaks overlap, distinguishing chemicals with similar atomic structures becomes much more challenging. One technique capable of overcoming this issue is the localized correlated spectroscopy (L-COSY) experiment, which acquires a second spectral dimension and spreads overlapping signal across this second dimension. Unfortunately, the acquisition of a two dimensional (2D) spectroscopy experiment is extremely time consuming. Furthermore, quantitation of a 2D spectrum is more complex. Recently, artificial intelligence has emerged in the field of medicine as a powerful force capable of diagnosing disease, aiding in treatment, and even predicting treatment outcome. In this study, we utilize deep learning to: 1) accelerate the L-COSY experiment and 2) quantify L-COSY spectra. We demonstrate that our deep learning model greatly outperforms compressed sensing based reconstruction of L-COSY spectra at higher acceleration factors. Specifically, at four-fold acceleration, our method has less than 5% normalized mean squared error, whereas compressed sensing yields 20% normalized mean squared error. We also show that at low SNR (25% noise compared to maximum signal), our deep learning model has less than 8% normalized mean squared error for quantitation of L-COSY spectra. These pilot simulation results appear promising and may help improve the efficiency and accuracy of L-COSY experiments in the future.

Regulatory cascades involving cyclic di-GMP signalling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

description: Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) has emerged as a bacterial second messenger that regulates a variety of cellular processes, in particular those associated with the switch between a motile and a sessile lifestyle. At low levels of c-di-GMP the motile lifestyle is favoured whereas at high levels of c-di-GMP the formation of biofilms is promoted. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, over 50 genes encoding proteins involved in the synthesis, hydrolysis or sensing of c-di-GMP are found and many remain uncharacterized. Herein, an analysis of a collection of mutants was performed and supported the idea that the sophisticated c-di-GMP network operates at high specificity. In addition to c-di-GMP, P. aeruginosa has a regulatory pathway, the Gac pathway, that is known to control the bacterium lifestyle switch. By investigating a particular mutant affected in this pathway, a link between the Gac pathway and c-di-GMP was established. Furthermore, the Gac pathway not only influences biofilm formation, but it is also crucial in determining the bacterium mode of infection. In other words, biofilm formation correlates to a chronic mode of infection where the bacterium has an active type VI secretion system (T6SS), and a motile phenotype correlates to an acute infection where the type III secretion system (T3SS) is active. Interestingly, by artificially modulating the levels of c-di-GMP it was demonstrated that c-di-GMP regulation goes beyond the control of the motile/sessile phenotypes and is able to inversely regulate the T3SS and T6SS. Finally, the link between c-d-GMP and the Gac pathway was consolidated by showing that the Gac system impacts the expression of a few c-di-GMP related proteins and one protein, SadC, was identified as a central component of the network. Overall this work largely contributed to reconcile two independent concepts involved in the regulation of the P. aeruginosa lifestyle.

description: Charge-to-spin conversion in various material systems is the key for the fundamental understanding of spin-orbitronis as well as the development of efficient means to manipulate the magnetization. We report the direct spatial imaging of current induced spin accumulation at the channel edges of Bi2Se3 and BiSbTeSe2 topological insulators by a scanning photovoltage microscope at room temperature. The spin polarization is along the out-of-plane direction with opposite signs for the two channel edges. The accumulated spin direction reverses sign upon changing the current direction and the detected spin signal shows a linear dependence on the magnitude of currents, which indicates that our observed phenomena are the current induced effects. The spin Hall angle of Bi2Se3 and BiSbTeSe2 is determined to be 0.0085 and 0.0616, respectively. We further image the current induced spin accumulation in a Pt heavy metal. Our results open up the possibility of optically detecting the current induced spin accumulations, and thus point towards a better understanding of the interaction between spins and circularly polarized light.
