Prenatal vitamin D for the prevention of preschool wheezing. Effect on early lung development.
Creators: name: Goldring, Stephen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Background: Asthma is the commonest chronic disease of childhood. The earliest manifestation is often preschool wheezing, which affects up to 50% of young children, but is difficult to evaluate practically. Observational studies suggest that low prenatal vitamin D status may be a risk factor for childhood wheezing. Aims: To evaluate the measurement of preschool lung function using impulse oscillometry, and to test the hypotheses that prenatal vitamin D supplementation may promote lung development or prevent preschool wheezing. Methods: We recruited 3 to 5 year olds from outpatient clinics to evaluate the quality of impulse oscillometry readings and the relationship between lung function and wheezing. We then evaluated impulse oscillometry in a group of 3-year-old children whose mothers had participated in a prenatal vitamin D supplementation trial. Next we evaluated the effect of prenatal vitamin D supplementation on lung function parameters and on the prevalence of wheeze and atopy in the first 3 years of life in this population (ISRCTN 68645785). Findings: In 3 to 5 year old children, we successfully acquired high quality impulse oscillometry readings in 37/66 (56%). We found increased bronchodilator responses in those who had previously wheezed, with adjusted mean difference in respiratory resistance at 25Hz (95% confidence intervals) of -8.65 Kpa/Ls-1 (-16.63, -0.67), p=0.04. In 3-year-old children whose mothers participated in a prenatal vitamin D trial, we acquired high quality readings in 51/105 (49%), but found no relationship between wheezing history and bronchodilator response. In the randomised controlled trial of prenatal vitamin D supplementation, we evaluated 158/180 (88%) offspring at age 3 years and found no difference in wheeze, atopy, lung function or healthcare utilisation between vitamin D supplemented groups and controls. Conclusions: It is possible to acquire high quality lung function data using impulse oscillometry for half of preschool children, however we found no consistent relationship between lung function and wheezing history. There may be age related differences in the pathophysiology of wheezing and its relationship to lung function, which should be explored in future studies. Prenatal vitamin D supplementation in late pregnancy was not associated with differences in lung function or wheezing. Future research should explore the effect of higher doses and earlier administration of vitamin D in pregnancy.

description: The pink to light reddish-pigmented bacterium Rubellimicrobium mesophilum strain MSL-20T contains a BLUF coupled endonuclease III of unknown function. A purified recombinant triple mutated sample of the BLUF coupled endonuclease III (F5Y, N27H, A87W) named RmPAE (Rubellimicrobium mesophilum Photo-Activated Endonuclease) was produced and characterized by optical spectroscopic methods. The BLUF domain photo-cycling dynamics occurred with high efficient blue-light induced signaling state formation (quantum yield of signaling state formation φs ≈ 0.6), small spectral red-shift (δλs,r ≈ 5.4 nm), and slow thermal activated dark recovery to the receptor state (τrec ≈ 20 min at room temperature). An apparent RmPAE melting temperature of ϑm ≈ 63 °C was determined by stepwise sample heating and absorption spectrum analysis. The photo-degradation of RmPAE in the signaling state was determined by prolonged intense blue-light exposure. An irreversible flavin photo-degradation occurred with quantum yield of φD ≈ 2.6×10-5. Schemes of the photo-cycling and the photo-degradation dynamics are presented. Engineered RmPAE may find application as light guided DNA cutter in optogenetic applications.
Pathogenesis of pain in murine osteoarthritis

description: Pain is the foremost clinical symptom of osteoarthritis (OA), however the processes that lead to pain in the joint are poorly understood. I have used two different murine models of OA, induced by surgical destabilisation of the joint. Upon destabilisation, two episodes of painful behaviour are observed, an initial post-operative phase, lasting a few days, and a late phase that starts between 8-11 weeks post-surgery, detected by differences in weight bearing measured by the Linton incapacitance tester. The later phase is associated with significant cartilage damage, but no overt synovitis. A screen of pain sensitising molecules expressed in the whole joint at the time animals developed late pain was performed. Statistically significantly regulated molecules included nerve growth factor (Ngf), bradykinin receptors 1 and 2 (Bdkrb1 and Bdkrb2), Tachykinin 1 (Tac1) and its receptor (Tacr1), determined by real-time PCR. When a similar analysis was performed in the microdissected tissues of the joint (cartilage, bone and meniscus), all but one (Bdkrb2), of the previously regulated molecules were significantly regulated in the articular cartilage. Ngf, Bdkrb1, Bdkrb2 and Tac1 were also statistically significantly regulated upon in vitro cartilage injury, using the murine hip and porcine metacarpophalangeal explantation models, suggesting that in vivo mechanical damage may be sufficient to drive pain molecules. One mechanism previously described by our group, by which chondrocytes respond to injury, is via release of FGF2 from the pericellular matrix. When in vivo cartilage injury studies were performed in Fgf2-/- tissues, or in the presence of an FGF2 receptor inhibitor, induction of Ngf was significantly blunted, indicating that FGF2 drives Ngf induction upon in vitro cartilage injury. Induction of Bdkrb1, Bdkrb2 and Tac1 were not FGF-dependent in vitro. To test the significance of FGF2-driven Ngf induction in vivo, pain was assessed in Fgf2-/- mice following joint destabilisation. Rather than reducing or delaying the development of pain in these animals, painful behaviour developed earlier than wild type mice, and correlated with cartilage damage scores. Pain could also be significantly neutralised by anti NGF antibody, indicating that FGF2 is unlikely to be driving Ngf expression in vivo. Female mice are relatively protected from OA following joint destabilisation, a phenomenon that may be related to differences in their molecular response to acute joint destabilisation. Despite having little in the way of cartilage damage, they develop painful behaviour at a similar stage as male mice, associated with the same pain sensitising molecules.
The role and regulation of oxytocin/oxytocin receptor system in human amnion and labour
Creators: name: Kim, Sung Hye
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Preterm delivery occurs in 10% of all births. It is the major cause of infant death and handicap in the developed countries and accounts for 65% of neonatal deaths and 50% of childhood neurological disabilities. At the end of pregnancy, „pro-labour‟ factors begin to mediate remodeling of the cervix resulting in cervical ripening and dilatation, uterine contractility and decidual/fetal membrane activation. The amnion plays an important role in the onset of human labour. It is a major site for prostaglandins (PG) and inflammatory cytokine synthesis which increases both before and during labour. Amnion derived inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins contribute to the relaxation of the lower uterine segment and to cervical ripening. Oxytocin (OT) and oxytocin receptor (OTR) are classically considered to play a fundamental role in the mechanism of labour as OT stimulates uterine contractions and OTR antagonists are clinically used as tocolytics. The increase in OT and OTR expressions were observed in tissues other than myometrium, including the breast cells, decidua and amnion. However, amnion is not a contractile tissue and therefore the physiological role of the OT/OTR is less obvious. We hypothesised that the regulation of OT/OTR in human amnion is linked to NF-κB activity and plays an important role in the onset of labour. We have demonstrated that in human amnion, labour induces expression of both OT and OTR expression. Using specific inhibitors and siRNA target knockdown studies, we have shown that unlike the myometrial OTR, OT binding to OTR in human amnion drives the receptor to couple with Gαi2 and Gαi3, but not Gαq. This subsequently triggers the sequential activation of ERK, p38 MAPKs and NF-κB signalling cascades leading to PG and proinflammatory cytokine/chemokine synthesis. This suggests that OT not only induces uterine contractions but also plays a role in triggering the onset of labour by mediating the proinflammatory effects in the amnion. These proinflammatory effects of OT were suppressed by an OTR-specific antagonist, ornithine vasotocin (OVT), indicating that OT exerts its effects predominantly via OTR. However, the commonly used OTR antagonist, atosiban, had no effect on OT induced proinflammatory effects. Unexpectedly, atosiban treatment alone resulted in activation of inflammatory mediators such as MAPKs and NF-κB leading to downstream pro-labour gene expressions via Gαi. Activation of such inflammatory processes within the uterus initiates labor, whereas exposure to inflammation may be associated with fetal brain damage in preterm and term infants. Therefore, atosiban could exacerbate inflammation in the context of preterm birth and potentially have an effect on neonatal outcome. With this in mind the future development of OTR antagonists to prevent preterm birth will need to take into account the effects upon differential OTR G-protein coupling.
Searches for lepton number violation, and flavour violation beyond the Yukawa couplings at LHCb
Creators: name: Ciezarek, Gregory
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The Standard Model does not describe several phenomena, such as gravity and dark matter, and therefore is an incomplete description of nature. This demands the existence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Two searches for new physics are presented in this thesis, along with a sensitivity study for a third analysis sensitive to new physics. The vMSM model motivates a search for lepton number violation using B+ -> h- µ+ µ+ decays, where h = (pi, K). No B+ → h- µ+ µ+ candidates are seen in ∼ 36 pb -1 of LHCb data and limits are set of BR (B+ → K- µ+ µ+) < 4.1 x 10 -8 and BR (B+ → pi- µ+ µ+) < 4.4 x 10 -8 at 90\% C.L. These improve the previous best limits by a factor 40 and 30, respectively. Using ∼ 1fb -1 of LHCb data, the B+ → pi+ µ+ µ- decay is observed for the first time with 5.2 sigma significance. This is the first b → dµ+µ- transition to be observed. The B+→ pi+ µ+ µ- branching fraction is measured to be (2.3 ± 0.6 (stat) ± 0.1 (syst)) x 10 -8. The ratio of branching fractions between B+ → pi+ µ+ µ- and B+ → K- µ+ µ- is measured to be 0.053 ± 0.014 (stat) ± 0.001 (syst), and this is used to determine a value of the ratio of quark mixing matrix elements Vtd| /Vtd| = 0.266 ± 0.035 (stat) ± 0.003 (syst). All of these results are compatible with the Standard Model expectations. Previous measurements of the ratio of B → D(∗)τ+ν and B → D(∗)μ+ν branching fractions exceed the Standard Model expectations by more than 3 sigma, combining D and D*. These decays are challenging to measure at a hadron collider, due to the presence of neutrinos in the final state. A sensitivity study is presented for a measurement of the ratio of B0 → D*τ+v and B0 → D*-µ+v branching fractions at LHCb. This study includes a novel fit method, and two new algorithms which enable the backgrounds to be controlled, and control samples to be isolated. The estimated uncertainty on Rd*, including the largest systematic uncertainties, is ∼ 8\%, competitive with the 9\% uncertainty on the present best measurement of Rd*.

description: Regions of the United States continue to experience an increase in zoonotic diseases. White-tailed deer support tick populations and implicated the emergence of several tick-borne diseases. Urbanization has elicited a dramatic increase in white-tailed deer populations. Consequently, the rise in deer numbers close to suburban areas has placed the public at increased risk of contracting disease. This study is part of an USDA-supported tick control project in Howard County, Maryland. The objectives were to 1) evaluate capture methods and provide recommendations for suburban trapping programs; and 2) evaluate spatial and temporal movement patterns and resulting impacts on risk of exposure to ticks. We found trapping deer in urbanized parks, during cold and snowy weather likely increased success. Different patterns in movement and space use of residential land can have important implications for humans’ risk of exposure to disease, with females deer posing higher risk than males especially during winter months.
New organic semiconductors and crosslinking additives for enhanced device performance and stability
Creators: name: Rumer, Joseph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Organic electronics promises inexpensive devices with diverse applications ranging from grid-scale power generation to disposable packaging. This results principally from compatibility with solution-processed manufacturing methods such as printing with large-scale, flexible and light-weight substrates. Organic solar cells in particular offer an underexploited renewable energy solution to increasing energy demand and global warming. However, for organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells the current goal is now to stabilise commercially viable efficiencies of >10%, for >10 years. As exemplified in this thesis, a structure-properties-fabrication-performance paradigm exists, necessitating judicious molecular design alongside tailored and optimised device manufacturing processes. Structure-property relationships are illustrated in a systematic series of TPD-2T–based copolymers: a C1-branched side-chain promotes increased crystallinity and solid-state packing, compared to C2- or C3-branching. In contrast, fabrication-performance relationships are illustrated with P3EPT, an analogue of P3HT, which exhibits a higher Voc in coarse BHJ blend devices compared to P3HT, most likely due to adopting a different morphology on casting in the absence of PCBM. The total paradigm is explored with a new class of benzodipyrrolidone-derived semiconductors in OPV and OFET applications. The advance from phenyl- to thiophene-flanked units (BPPs to BPTs), with reduced torsional twisting, affords ambipolar charge transport and satisfactory charge carrier mobility. In addition, select dihydropyrroloindoledione (DPID)-based materials afford unencumbered OPV performance when processing with more environmentally benign solvents. Furthermore, enhanced OPV device performance is achieved with DAZH and PDCF3-based small molecule crosslinkers, which convey thermal stability to OPV blends, typically through the frustration of fullerene aggregation. These additives exhibit sufficient shelf-life and ease of handling, with non-invasive and scalable activation by UV light, emitting only inert nitrogen gas. Moreover, our DAZH additive affords an increase in as-cast device efficiency, stemming from its design.

description: La bande 5°S-10°S dans l'océan Indien est caractérisée par une thermocline proche de la surface, liée à la structure moyenne des vents. Cette thermocline proche de la surface rend l'océan très réactif aux sollicitations de l'atmosphère et une variabilité marquée aux échelles intrasaisonnières (oscillation de Madden Julian) et interannuelles (dipôle de l'océan Indien) en résulte. Ces deux phénomènes influencent par ailleurs la cyclogenèse dans la région, et affectent le nombre de cyclones qui peuvent frapper Madagascar ou La Réunion. Cette région a été reconnue comme une région d'intérêt primordial par l'Indian Ocean Panel de CLIVAR. Des séries temporelles longues sont nécessaires pour caractériser la variabilité à ces échelles de temps, et c'est pour cela qu'un mouillage ATLAS a été déployé pendant la campagne Cirène, début 2007, dans le cadre d'un effort international pour développer un réseau de mouillages dans l'océan Indien. La campagne mettait à profit le transit du Marion Dufresne en août 2008 pour effectuer la maintenance de ce mouillage.Le projet de rattachement est Cirène.

description: An isomer, with t1/2 = 35 +- 10 ns and J, Kpi = 14, 14+, has been observed in the nucleus 176W using the reaction 150Nd(30Si,4n) at a beam energy of 133 MeV. The isomer exhibits an unusual pattern of decay in which the _majority_ of the flux proceeds directly to states with =0, bypassing available levels of intermediate K. This severe breakdown of normal K-selection rules in 176W is compared with recent observations of K-violation in neighboring nuclei, within the framework of proposed theoretical approaches. The available data on these K-violating decays seem to have a consistent explanation in models of K-mixing which include large-amplitude fluctuations of the nuclear shape.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In the light of the recent discovery of the $Ξ^{++}_{cc}$ by LHCb collaboration, we study the stable doubly heavy tetraquarks. These states are compact exotic hadrons which can be approximated as the diquark-anti-diquark correlations. In the flavor SU(3) symmetry, they form an SU(3) triplet or anti-sextet. The spectra of the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states are predicted by Sakharov-Zeldovich formula. We find that the $T^+_{cc\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 16MeV below the $DD^*$ threshold, while $T^{-}_{bb\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 73MeV below the $BB^*$ threshold. We then study the semileptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states. The decay amplitudes are parametrized in terms of SU(3)-irreducible amplitudes. Ratios between decay widths of different channels are also derived. At the end, we collect the Cabibbo allowed two-body and three-body decay channels, which are most promising to search for the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states at LHCb and Belle II experiments.

description: The tensor force is implemented into the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory so that both exotic and stable collision partners, as well as their dynamics in heavy-ion fusion, can be described microscopically. The role of tensor force on fusion dynamics is systematically investigated for $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}+\mathrm{^{40}Ca}$, $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}+\mathrm{^{48}Ca}$, $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}+\mathrm{^{48}Ca}$, $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}+\mathrm{^{56}Ni}$, and $^{56}\mathrm{Ni}+\mathrm{^{56}Ni}$ reactions which vary by the total number of spin-unsaturated magic numbers in target and projectile. A notable effect on fusion barriers and cross sections is observed by the inclusion of tensor force. The origin of this effect is analyzed. The influence of isoscalar and isovector tensor terms is investigated with the T$IJ$ forces. These effects of tensor force in fusion dynamics are essentially attributed to the shift of low-lying vibration states of colliding partners and nucleon transfer in the asymmetric reactions. Our calculations of above-barrier fusion cross sections also show that tensor force does not significantly affect the dynamical dissipation at near-barrier energies.

description: Using analytic and numerical approaches, we study the spatio-temporal evolution of a conserved order parameter of a fluid in film geometry, following an instantaneous quench to the critical temperature $T_c$ as well as to supercritical temperatures. The order parameter dynamics is chosen to be governed by model B within mean field theory and is subject to no-flux boundary conditions as well as to symmetric surface fields at the confining walls. The latter give rise to critical adsorption of the order parameter at both walls and provide the driving force for the non-trivial time evolution of the order parameter. During the dynamics, the order parameter is locally and globally conserved; thus, at thermal equilibrium, the system represents the canonical ensemble. We furthermore consider the dynamics of the nonequilibrium critical Casimir force, which we obtain based on the generalized force exerted by the order parameter field on the confining walls. We identify various asymptotic regimes concerning the time evolution of the order parameter and the critical Casimir force and we provide, within our approach, exact expressions of the corresponding dynamic scaling functions.

description: We have studied via in-beam $γ$-ray spectroscopy $^{196}$Po and $^{198}$Po, which are the first neutron-deficient Po isotopes to exhibit a collective low-lying structure. The ratios of yrast state energies and the E2 branching ratios of transitions from non-yrast to yrast states are indicative of a low-lying vibrational structure. The onset of collective motion in these isotopes can be attributed to the opening of the neutron i$_{13/2}$ orbital at N$\approx$112 and the resulting large overlap between the two valence protons in the h$_{9/2}$ orbital and the valence neutrons in the i$_{13/2}$ orbital.

Une des conséquences importantes du réchauffement climatique en cours sur Kerguelen est le retrait rapide des glaciers, dont notamment le glacier d'Ampère. Son retrait au cours des dernières décennies serait en effet le plus important de toute la période Holocène (Frenot et al., 1997) et ceci a profondément modifié la dynamique sédimentaire du bassin versant de la rivière Ampère, le principal affluent du fjord de la Table (Mulder & Chapron, 2011). La collection, ces dernières années, d'archives naturelles subantarctiques continentales (tourbes, sédiments lacustres) et marines (sédiments glacio-marin et marin ouvert) ainsi que la découverte d'éruptions volcaniques holocènes importantes à l'échelle régionale (laves, ignimbrites, ponces et cendres volcaniques à l'affleurement), peut nous permettre d'établir de fines corrélations continent-océan aujourd'hui nécessaires à toute étude paléoclimatique pluridisciplinaire dans l'hémisphère Sud.

description: Artificial Spin Ice (ASI), comprised of ferromagnetic nanobars in a honeycomb geometry, attracts much attention since it is a directly imageable frustrated system which exhibits rich physics including ice-rule behaviour and magnetic monopole excitations. ASI’s nanobars undergo domain wall mediated magnetic reversal in external fields. Understanding and indeed controlling the trajectories of field driven domain walls and hence the order in which ASI’s nanobars are reversed is a crucial step towards mapping out ASI’s full functionality for potential applications. In this thesis, trajectories of domain walls during the early stages of ASI’s magnetic reversal are studied. Data showing domain walls executing non-random walks in the transverse domain wall regime and random walks in the vortex domain wall regime is presented. The former behaviour is linked to the domain wall’s chirality, and as such, attempts to control a domain wall’s initial chirality via triangular injection pads are discussed. In addition, ways in which a vortex domain wall’s chirality may be controlled with ellipsoidal hole obstructions are shown. Artificial Dipolar 2D-XY, a complementary system to ASI, also promises interesting behaviour. In this new frustrated architecture, individual nanobars are replaced with single domain nanodiscs whose magnetisations can point in any in-plane direction. In this thesis, intriguing results from preliminary experiments on this new system are presented. One of the best techniques used to study the magnetisations of nanostructures such as those described above is Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscopy (LTEM). Since the contrast yielded for unusual magnetic states was not well documented, software called Micromagnetic Analysis to Lorentz TEM Simulation (MALTS) was developed in order to aid in analysis of LTEM images. MALTS can simulate the LTEM contrast of any magnetic object of any size, shape or state. A description of its full functionality is also included in this thesis.

description: Equations of divergence type in static spacetimes play a significant role in the proof of uniqueness theorems of black holes. We generalize the divergence equation originally discovered by Robinson in four dimensional vacuum spacetimes into several directions. We find that the deviation from spherical symmetry is encoded in a symmetric trace-free tensor $H_{ij}$ on a static timeslice. This tensor is the crux for the construction of the desired divergence equation, which allows us to conclude the uniqueness of the Schwarzschild black hole without using Smarr's integration mass formula. In Einstein-Maxwell(-dilaton) theory, we apply the maximal principle for a number of divergence equations to prove the uniqueness theorem of static black holes. In higher $(n\ge 5)$ dimensional vacuum spacetimes, a central obstruction for applicability of the current proof is the integration of the $(n-2)$-dimensional scalar curvature over the horizon cross-section, which has been evaluated to be a topological constant by the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for $n=4$. Nevertheless, it turns out that the $(n-1)$-dimensional symmetric and traceless tensor $H_{ij}$ is still instrumental for the modification of the uniqueness proof based upon the positive mass theorem, as well as for the derivation of the Penrose-type inequality.

Star Formation in Southern Seyfert Galaxies

description: We have produced radio maps, using the ATCA, of the central regions of six southern Seyfert 2 galaxies (NGC 1365, 4945, 6221, 6810, 7582, and Circinus) with circumnuclear star formation, to estimate the relative contribution of star formation activity compared to activity from the active galactic nucleus (AGN). The radio morphologies range from extended diffuse structures to compact nuclear emission, with no evidence, even in the relatively compact sources, for synchrotron self--absorption. In each case the radio to far--infrared (FIR) ratio has a value consistent with star formation, and in all but one case the radio to [FeII] ratio is also consistent with star formation. We derive supernova rates and conclude that, despite the presence of a Seyfert nucleus in these galaxies, the radio, FIR, and [FeII] line emission are dominated by processes associated with the circumnuclear star formation (i.e. supernova remnants and HII regions) rather than with the AGN.

Turbulence-driven thermal and kinetic energy fluxes in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters

description: We have performed high resolution $3-$dimensional compressible hydrodynamics simulations to investigate the effects of shocks and turbulence on energy transport into hot Jupiter atmospheres, under a variety of shear gradients. We focus on a local atmospheric region to accurately follow the small-scale structures of turbulence and shocks. We find that the effects of turbulence above and below a shear layer are different in scale and magnitude: below the shear layer, the effects of turbulence on the vertical energy transfer are local, generally $\lesssim2~\times(\text{scale height})$. However, turbulence can have a spatially and thermally-large influence on almost the entire region above the shear layer. We also find that shock formation is local and transient. Once the atmosphere becomes steady, the time-averaged heat energy flux at $P\sim 1$ bar is insignificant, on the order of 0.001\% of the incoming stellar flux with a shear motion at $P\sim 1$ mbar, and 0.1\% with a deeper shear layer at $P\sim 100$ mbar. Accordingly, the diffusion coefficient is higher for the deeper shear layer. Therefore, our results suggest that turbulence near less dense regions ($P\sim 1$ mbar) does not cause a sufficiently deep and large penetration of thermal energy to account for radius inflation in hot Jupiters, regardless of how violent the turbulence is. However, as the shear layer gets deeper, heat energy transfer becomes more effective throughout the atmosphere (upwards and downwards) due to a larger kinetic energy budget. Therefore, it is more important how deep turbulence occurs in the atmosphere, than how unstable the atmosphere is for effective energy transfer.

description: Lifetimes for the lowest three transitions in the nucleus $^{120}$Xe have been measured using the Recoil Distance Technique. Our data indicate that the lifetime for the $2_{1}^{+} \to 0_{1}^{+}$ transition is more than a factor of two lower than the previously adopted value and is in keeping with more recent measurements performed on this nucleus. The theoretical implications of this discrepancy and the possible reason for the erroneous earlier results are discussed. All measured lifetimes in $^{120}$Xe, as well as the systematics of the lifetimes of the 2$_{1}^{+}$ states in Xe isotopes, are compared with predictions of various models. The available data are best described by the Fermion Dynamic Symmetry Model (FDSM).

description: My paper discusses a novel swarm robotic algorithm inspired by the open channel siphon phenomena displayed in certain viscoelastic fluids. This siphoning ability enables the algorithm to mitigate the trapping effects of local minima, which are known to affect physicomimetics-based potential field control methods. Once a robot senses the goal, local communication between robots is used to propagate path-to-goal gradient information through the swarm's communication graph. This information is used to augment each agent's local potential field, reducing the local minima trap and often eliminating it. In this paper real world experiments using the Georgia Tech Miniature Autonomous Blimp (GT-MAB) aerial robotic platforms as well as mass Monte Carlo test simulations conducted in the Simulating Collaborative Robots in Massive Multi-Agent Game Execution (SCRIMMAGE) simulator are presented. Comparisons between the resultant behaviors and potential field based swarm behaviors that both do, and do not incorporate local minima fixes were assessed. These experiments and simulations demonstrate that this method is an effective solution to susceptibility to local minima for potential field approaches for controlling swarms.

description: We explore the existence of $D Ξ$ and $D^* Ξ$ molecular states within the one boson exchange model. We regularize the potential derived in this model with a form factor and a cut-off of the order of $1\,{\rm GeV}$. To determine the cut-off, we use the condition that the $X(3872)$ is reproduced as a pole in the $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ $D^*\bar{D}$ amplitude. From this we find that the $J^P= {\frac{1}{2}}^{-}$ $D^*\,Ξ$ system is on the verge of binding and has an unnaturally large scattering length. For the $J^P= {\frac{1}{2}}^{-}$ $D\,Ξ$ and the $J^P= {\frac{3}{2}}^{-}$ $D^*\,Ξ$ systems the attraction is not enough to form a bound state. From heavy quark symmetry and the quark model we can extend the previous model to the $P Ξ_{QQ}$ and $P^* Ξ_{QQ}$ systems, with $P = D, \bar{B}$, $P^* = D^*, \bar{B}^*$ and $Ξ_{QQ} = Ξ_{cc}, Ξ_{bb}$. In this case we predict a series of triply heavy pentaquark-like molecules.
