Screening and identification of kinases involved in drug resistance in bladder cancer

description: Bladder cancer is the seventh most common cancer. Recurrence after surgical removal of tumours is common and nearly half of the patients present with muscle invasive disease or harbour occult distant metastases. In such cases effective systemic therapies aimed at eliminating micro-metastases may improve outcome. Most patients who initially respond to chemotherapy (methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin or gemcitabine and cisplatin or carboplatin) relapse within the first year and the median survival is about 12 months. Consequently, there is a need to find drug targets that enhance the effects of existing chemotherapy and/or reverse drug resistance. Drug resistance is believed to cause treatment failure in >90% of patients with metastatic cancer, and resistant micro-metastatic cells may also reduce the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy. We used a kinome-based siRNA screen in T24 bladder cancer cells to try and identify novel druggable regulators of chemoresistance in bladder cancer cells. The screen has identified 23 common kinases that sensitise and 2 that antagonise the cytotoxic effects of both cisplatin and paclitaxel in T24 cells upon knockdown. We have further identified 63 kinases that significantly alter the response of cells to cisplatin and 60 kinases that significantly change the viability response to paclitaxel. 13 of the hits were validated across two additional cell line and further work was done to elucidate the role of RSK4 in cancer. RSK4 not only sensitises bladder cancer cells to cisplatin and paclitaxel but it also has a role in migration in invasion. RSK4 seems to have a regulatory role which governs cancer metabolism, drug resistance and motility. Further studies are needed to clarify this role and specific inhibitors of RSK4 need to be developed in order to explore its potential use as a therapeutic target in cancer.

description: We report the results of a systematic study of the vacuum-ultraviolet spectra of 45 starburst and related galaxies observed with the IUE satellite. These span broad ranges in metallicity, bolometric luminosity, and galaxy properties. The projected size of the IUE spectroscopic aperture is typically one to several kpc and therefore usually encompasses the entire starburst and is similar to the aperture-sizes used for spectroscopy of high-redshift galaxies. Our principal conclusion is that local starbursts occupy a very small fractional volume in the multi-dimensional manifold defined by such fundamental parameters as the extinction, metallicity, and vacuum-UV line strengths (both stellar and interstellar) of the starburst and the rotation speed (mass) and absolute magnitude of the starburst's `host' galaxy. More metal-rich starbursts are redder and more heavily extinguished in the UV, more luminous, have stronger vacuum-UV lines, and occur in more massive and optically-brighter host galaxies. The results on local starbursts suggest that the high-redshift `Lyman Drop-Out' galaxies are typically highly reddened and extinguished by dust (average factor of 5 to 10 in the UV), may have moderately high metallicities (0.1 to 1 times solar?), are probably building galaxies with stellar surface- mass-densities similar to present-day ellipticals, and may be suffering substantial losses of metal-enriched gas that can `pollute' the IGM.

The agreement between the euclidean approach and Cardy's formula is obtained modulo certain assumptions on the spectrum of the Virasoro's algebra. There is no discrepancy factor "square root of 2" once the appropriate boundary conditions are properly recognized. The peculiar features of gravity, that the on-shell Hamiltonian is determined by boundary terms, is the reason of the mentioned agreement.

Expansion of a mildly relativistic hot pair cloud into an electron-proton plasma

description: The expansion of a charge-neutral cloud of electrons and positrons with the temperature 1 MeV into an unmagnetized ambient plasma is examined with a 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The pair outflow drives solitary waves in the ambient protons. Their bipolar electric fields attract electrons of the outflowing pair cloud and repel positrons. These fields can reflect some of the protons thereby accelerating them to almost an MeV. Ion acoustic solitary waves are thus an efficient means to couple energy from the pair cloud to protons. The scattering of the electrons and positrons by the electric field slows down their expansion to a nonrelativistic speed. Only a dilute pair outflow reaches the expansion speed expected from the cloud's thermal speed. Its positrons are more energetic than its electrons. In time an instability grows at the front of the dense slow-moving part of the pair cloud, which magnetizes the plasma. The instability is driven by the interaction of the outflowing positrons with the protons. These results shed light on how magnetic fields are created and ions are accelerated in pair-loaded astrophysical jets and winds.

description: Chinese landscape painting has a unique and artistic style, and its drawing technique is highly abstract in both the use of color and the realistic representation of objects. Previous methods focus on transferring from modern photos to ancient ink paintings. However, little attention has been paid to translating landscape paintings into modern photos. To solve such problems, in this paper, we (1) propose DLP-GAN (Draw Modern Chinese Landscape Photos with Generative Adversarial Network), an unsupervised cross-domain image translation framework with a novel asymmetric cycle mapping, and (2) introduce a generator based on a dense-fusion module to match different translation directions. Moreover, a dual-consistency loss is proposed to balance the realism and abstraction of model painting. In this way, our model can draw landscape photos and sketches in the modern sense. Finally, based on our collection of modern landscape and sketch datasets, we compare the images generated by our model with other benchmarks. Extensive experiments including user studies show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

description: We investigate the reach at the LHC to probe light sterile neutrinos with displaced vertices. We focus on sterile neutrinos $N$ with masses $m_{N} \sim $ (5-30) GeV, that are produced in rare decays of the Standard Model gauge bosons and decay inside the inner trackers of the LHC detectors. With a strategy that triggers on the prompt lepton accompanying the $N$ displaced vertex and considers charged tracks associated to it, we show that the 13 TeV LHC with $3000$/fb is able to probe active-sterile neutrino mixings down to $|V_{lN}|^2\approx 10^{-9}$, with $l=e,μ$, which is an improvement of up to four orders of magnitude when comparing with current experimental limits from trileptons and proposed lepton-jets searches. In the case when $τ$ mixing is present, mixing angles as low as $|V_{τN}|^2 \approx 10^{-8}$ can be accessed.

Spatially resolved forming mechanisms detection in single point incremental forming using synchrotron based texture analysis

description: Despite the ongoing success of understanding the deformation states in sheets manufactured by single-point incremental forming (SPIF), the unawareness of the spatially resolved influence of the forming mechanisms on the residual stress states of incrementally formed sheet metal parts impedes their application-optimized use. In this study, a well-founded experimental proof of the occurring forming mechanisms shear, bending and stretching is presented using spatially resolved, high-energy synchrotron x-ray diffraction-based texture analysis in transmission mode. The measuring method allows even near-surface areas to be examined without any impairment of microstructural influences due to tribological reactions. The depth-resolved texture evolution for different sets of forming parameters offers insights into the forming mechanisms acting in SPIF. Therefore, the forming mechanisms are triggered explicitly by adjusting the vertical step-down increment Δz for groove, plate and truncated cone geometries. The texture analysis reveals that the process parameters and the specimen geometries used lead to characteristic changes in the crystallites’ orientation distribution in the formed parts due to plastic deformation. These forming-induced reorientations of the crystallites could be assigned to the forming mechanisms by means of defined reference states. It was found that for groove, plate and truncated cone geometries, a decreasing magnitude of step-down increments leads to a more pronounced shear deformation, which causes an increasing work hardening especially at the tool contact area of the formed parts. Larger step-down increments, on the other hand, induce a greater bending deformation. The plastic deformation by bending leads to a complex stress field that involves alternating residual tensile stresses on the tool and residual compressive stresses on the tool-averted side incrementally formed sheets. The present study demonstrates the potential of high-energy synchrotron x-ray diffraction for the spatially resolved forming mechanism research in SPIF. Controlling the residual stress states by optimizing the process parameters necessitates knowledge of the fundamental forming mechanism action.
A comparative optimisation study of activated carbon production from hazelnut shells by thermal and microwave heating methods
Creators: name: Sharifan, Suzan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This research has studied the optimisation of activated carbon production from waste hazelnut shells, using both conventional and microwave heating techniques. A comparative study was conducted on the results obtained from both production methods to provide information on the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each production technique from a physical and chemical perspective. The study of the conventional production method was carried out using a comprehensive two- stage Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The microwave production method was studied using a combination of RSM and the traditional single-factor-at-a-time experimental design. The comparison of the two production methods showed that at a similar degrees of carbon burn- off, much lower pore volume and internal surface area was achieved for the microwave produced samples. The highest BET surface area produced with the conventional production method was 1777 m2/g, obtained from the activation of carbonised char with 0.67 ml/min water for 4 hours at 900°C. This value was nearly 2.5 times larger than the maximum BET surface area achieved from the microwave production method (715 m2/g) (50 min at 1000W). Similar results were also obtained for the aqueous phase adsorption of phenol and methylene blue; 2.2x and 2.3x larger adsorption capacity for thermal sample, respectively. In general, the microwave production method was found to be less effective in the production of highly microporous carbon. While the rate of micropore development with carbon burn-off in microwave heating was much lower than the conventional method, mesopore volume was found to be close and even comparable with that achieved with the conventional method. Considering that the microwave heating resulted in lower energy consumption per unit carbon burn-off, this heating system can be energy efficient in the production of mesoporous adsorbents. The energy efficiency could be of great importance when a two step carbonisation- activation is to be employed, since it could considerably reduce the heating time to the final activation temperature.

Especially in the extreme oblate squashing limit, which has a thermodynamic interpretation, the high temperature behaviour is found as a function of m. Although the intermediate details for odd and even m are different, the final answers are the same. A thermodynamic interpretation for spinors is possible only for twisted periodicity conditions and m even.

description: A mathematical model is presented for thermal transport in nanowires with rectangular cross sections. Expressions for the effective thermal conductivity of the nanowire across a range of temperatures and cross-sectional aspect ratios are obtained by solving the Guyer--Krumhansl hydrodynamic equation for the thermal flux with a slip boundary condition. Our results show that square nanowires transport thermal energy more efficiently than rectangular nanowires due to optimal separation between the boundaries. However, circular nanowires are found to be even more efficient than square nanowires due to the lack of corners in the cross section, which locally reduce the thermal flux and inhibit the conduction of heat. By using a temperature-dependent slip coefficient, we show that the model is able to accurately capture experimental data of the effective thermal conductivity obtained from Si nanowires, demonstrating that phonon hydrodynamics is a powerful framework that can be applied to nanosystems even at room temperature.

Spatial dependencies in patterns of adoption at local and re-gional levels - The case of ecologically-friendly agriculture
Creators: name: Bormpoudakis, Dimitrios
name: Tzanopoulos, Joseph
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: In this document, we present the results of the first meta-analysis of the spatial distribution of ecologically-friendly agriculture (EFA), incorporating systems (e.g. integrated production), bundles of practices (e.g. green control measures) and single practices (e.g. conservation tillage). We opted for a qualitative meta-analysis, as we are mainly concerned with the significance, extent and location of the phenomenon of spatial clustering and/or dispersal, and less so on its absolute quantitative magnitude. Our study has three aims. Firstly, we review the evidence on spatial clustering of EFA practices and systems. Secondly, we conduct a qualitative analysis of the variables that influence the spatial distribution of EFA systems and practices as ascertained using spatial models only. Thirdly, and finally, we conduct a qualitative analysis of the variables that have a spatial spillover effect, i.e. farmer or administrative unit characteristics that can influence neighbouring farmers or administrative units. We maintain a local and regional focus throughout the study. We performed a literature search on Scopus, and after retrieving circa 6000 documents, we narrowed down our sample to 39 relevant papers published in peer-reviewed journals. From this sample we reviewed the evidence on spatial clustering across EFA practices and systems, and recorded methodological aspects of the literature. To analyse the factors that influence the spatial distribution of EFA systems and practices, we focused on those studies that used some kind of formal spatial statistical test to study those processes, a total of 26 studies. Finally, we focused on eight studies that used spatial statistical models suited to the study of right-hand side spillover effects, to study the variables that have spatial neighbourhood effects. We found that geographical and farming system biases in the literature hinder global and regional/local understanding. We also found that spatial clustering is a prominent feature of EFA systems and practices, although perhaps not as universal as commonly presented - especially at the local and regional scales and modulated by crop, system, and geographical context. By reviewing the variables that influence EFA systems and practices adoption or uptake, we argue that while some variables do seem to have a clear effect, more research is needed for the majority of variables – especially regarding variables that might have spillover effects. Arguably, this is not just a case of more research along previously followed lines, but research that focuses on different locales and scales, diverse systems and practices, and using both (the right) quantitative and qualitative methodologies.

The results differ from the $(1+ma)$ correction factor commonly used for valence quarks and connected current insertions. We find that for sea quarks, the correction factors are in general larger and depend strongly on the Lorentz structure of the current under consideration. Results are presented both for the Wilson action and for the 2-link improved action of Hamber and Wu. Phenomenological implications are also briefly discussed in two examples.

We extract from it an explicit integral expression for the full string theory corrections to the imaginary part of the mass-shift and the lifetime of a massive state with the highest allowed spin J=2M^2+2. We find a decay rate that is up to log M corrections of order 1 in string units, times g_s^2. We also find that the dominant decay mode corresponds to the emission of light particles, whereas the decay into two massive or two massless states is exponentially suppressed. We discuss the relation of our results to quantum gravity aspects of a Kerr Black Hole.

description: White dwarfs that have accreted rocky planetary bodies provide unique insights regarding the bulk composition of exoplanetary material. The analysis presented here uses observed white dwarf atmospheric abundances to constrain both where in the planetary system the pollutant bodies originated, and the geological and collisional history of the pollutant bodies. At least one, but possibly up to nine, of the 17 systems analysed have accreted a body dominated by either core-like or mantle-like material. The approximately even spread in the core mass fraction of the pollutants and the lack of crust-rich pollutants in the 17 systems studied here suggest that the pollutants are often the fragments produced by the collision of larger differentiated bodies. The compositions of many pollutants exhibit trends related to elemental volatility, which we link to the temperatures and, thus, the locations at which these bodies formed. Our analysis found that the abundances observed in 11 of the 17 systems considered are consistent with the compositions of nearby stars in combination with a trend related to elemental volatility. The even spread and large range in the predicted formation location of the pollutants suggests that pollutants arrive in white dwarf atmospheres with a roughly equal efficiency from a wide range of radial locations. Ratios of elements with different condensation temperatures such as Ca/Mg, Na/Mg, and O/Mg distinguish between different formation temperatures, whilst pairs of ratios of siderophilic and lithophilic elements such as Fe/Mg, Ni/Mg and Al/Mg, Ca/Mg distinguish between temperature dependent trends and geological trends.

description: In a universe reionized in patches, the Doppler effect from Thomson scattering off free electrons generates secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. For a simple model with small patches and late reionization, we analytically calculate the anisotropy power spectrum. Patchy reionization can, in principle, be the main source of anisotropies on arcminute scales. On larger angular scales, its contribution to the CMB power spectrum is a small fraction of the primary signal and is only barely detectable in the power spectrum with even an ideal, i.e. cosmic variance limited, experiment and an extreme model of reionization. Consequently patchy reionization is unlikely to affect cosmological parameter estimation from the acoustic peaks in the CMB. Its detection on small angles would help determine the ionization history of the universe, in particular the typical size of the ionized region and the duration of the reionization process.

Variation-aware and adaptive timing optimisation methods in field programmable gate arrays
Creators: name: Guan, Zhenyu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis proposes optimisation methods for improving the timing performance of digital circuits implemented in Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with the knowledge of process variation. With the current trend of transistor scaling, improvements in fabrication processes alone will not completely solve the problem of process variability due to the physical limitation of the process and materials. Therefore, higher-level optimisation strategies, such as variation-aware and adaptive design are required to alleviate the erosion of overall timing performance. Three novel optimisation methods, including variation-aware placement, routing and retiming are introduced in this thesis to reduce the impact of process variation on FPGAs using measured variation maps. By measuring and mapping real delay variation on FPGAs, traditional delay models can be replaced with actual delay maps that allows variation-aware design methods to be applied to produce more optimal designs on FPGAs. In this thesis, we propose a new two-stage classification-based placement methodology to alleviate the impact of delay variability while maintaining practical computational complexity and execution time. In addition, a variation-aware partial re-routing method is introduced to improve the timing performance of designs by re-routing a portion of critical and near-critical paths. Finally, a variation-aware retiming method is proposed to further enhance timing performance after placement and routing. Similar to the timing improvement achieved by full chipwise optimisation (19%), the proposed two-stage placement, partial rerouting and retiming methods can provide 13% timing improvement. In addition, about 20 times speedup can be achieved compared with full chipwise methods. Overall, the observed timing improvement and reduction in execution time for MCNC benchmarks with the proposed optimisation methods clearly demonstrate their effectiveness and practicality against delay variability in FPGAs.
Topological Density and Instantons on a Lattice

description: We present an update on the study of topological structure of QCD. Issues addressed include a comparison between the plaquette and the geometric methods of calculating the topological density. We show that the improved gauge action based on sqrt(3) blocking transformation suppresses the formation of topologically charged dislocations with low action. Using a cooling method we identify the instantons' location, estimate their size and density, and calculate the renormalization constant Z_Q for the plaquette method.

description: Ferromagnetic resonance is used to reveal features of the buried electronic band structure at interfaces between ferromagnetic metals and topological insulators. By monitoring the evolution of magnetic damping, the application of this method to a hybrid structure consisting of a ferromagnetic layer and a 3D topological insulator reveals a clear fingerprint of the Dirac point and exhibits additional features of the interfacial band structure not otherwise observable. The underlying spin-pumping mechanism is discussed in the framework of dissipation of angular momentum by topological surface states (TSSs). Tuning of the Fermi level within the TSS was verified both by varying the stoichiometry of the topological insulator layer and by electrostatic backgating and the damping values obtained in both cases show a remarkable agreement. The high energy resolution of this method additionally allows us to resolve the energetic shift of the local Dirac points generated by local variations of the electrostatic potential. Calculations based on the chiral tunneling process naturally occurring in TSS agree well with the experimental results.

On the Dimensional Reduction Procedure

description: The issue related to the so-called dimensional reduction procedure is revisited within the Euclidean formalism. First, it is shown that for symmetric spaces, the local exact heat-kernel density is equal to the reduced one, once the harmonic sum has been succesfully performed. In the general case, due to the impossibility to deal with exact results, the short time heat-kernel asymptotics is considered. It is found that the exact heat-kernel and the dimensionally reduced one coincide up to two non trivial leading contributions in the short time expansion. Implications of these results with regard to dimensional-reduction anomaly are discussed.

Prospects of discovering stable double-heavy tetraquarks at a Tera-$Z$ factory

description: Motivated by a number of theoretical considerations, predicting the deeply bound double-heavy tetraquarks $T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar u \bar d]}$, $T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar u \bar s]}$ and $T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar d \bar s]}$, we explore the potential of their discovery at Tera-$Z$ factories. Using the process $Z \to b \bar b b \bar b$, we calculate, employing the Monte Carlo generators MadGraph5$\_$aMC@NLO and Pythia6, the phase space configuration in which the~$b b$ pair is likely to fragment as a diquark. In a jet-cone, defined by an invariant mass interval $m_{bb} < M_{T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar q \bar q']}} + ΔM$, the sought-after tetraquarks $T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar q \bar q^\prime]}$ as well as the double-bottom baryons,~$Ξ_{bb}^{0,-}$, and $Ω_{bb}^-$, can be produced. Using the heavy quark--diquark symmetry, we estimate $\mathcal{B} (Z \to T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar u \bar d]} + \; \bar b \bar b) = (1.4^{+1.1}_{-0.5}) \times 10^{-6}$, and about a half of this for the $T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar{u}\bar{s}]}$ and $T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar d \bar s]}$. We also present an estimate of their lifetimes using the heavy quark expansion, yielding $τ(T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar q \bar q^\prime]}) \simeq 800$~fs. Measuring the tetraquark masses would require decays, such as $T^{\{bb\} -}_{[\bar u \bar d]} \to B^- D^- π^+$, $T^{\{bb\} -}_{[\bar u \bar d]} \to J/ψ\overline K^0 B^-$, $T^{\{bb\} -}_{[\bar u \bar d]} \to J/ψK^- \overline B^0$, $T^{\{bb\} -}_{[\bar u \bar s]} \to Ξ_{bc}^0 Σ^-$, and $T^{\{bb\} 0}_{[\bar d \bar s]} \to Ξ_{bc}^0 \barΣ^0$, with subsequent decay chains in exclusive non-leptonic final states. We estimate a couple of the decay widths and find that the product branching ratios do not exceed~$10^{-5}$. Hence, a good fraction of these modes will be required for a discovery of $T^{\{bb\}}_{[\bar q \bar q']}$ at a Tera-$Z$ factory.
