description: Summary - By combining the 5634 redshifts from the ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey (the ENACS) with another 1000 redshifts from the literature we are able to study the distribution of velocity dispersions for a volume-limited sample of 128 $R_{\rm ACO} \geq 1$ clusters, out to a redshift $z=0.1$, in a solid angle of 2.55 sr centered on the South Galactic Pole. In deriving velocity dispersions we apply a new, physically motivated method for removing fore- and background galaxies. We discuss in detail the completeness of the cluster sample for which we derive the distribution of cluster velocity dispersions. The large apparent spread between velocity dispersion and richness must be largely intrinsic. A consequence of the very broad relation between richness and velocity dispersion is that all cluster samples complete in richness are biased against low dispersions. For the richness limit of our sample this bias operates below about 800 km/sec. Above 800 km/s, our distribution of global velocity dispersions is free from systematic errors and biases, and agrees very well with the most recent determination of the distribution of cluster X-ray temperatures. Therefore, we conclude that X-ray temperature and velocity dispersion distributions statistically measure the same cluster property. We stress the need for model predictions that produce exactly the same information as provided by the observations, for a sample of model clusters with a richness limit that mimics that of the sample of observed clusters.

Resolving Inflammation after Stroke through Modulation of Formyl Peptide Receptor 2/The Lipoxin Receptor
Creators: name: Smith, Helen Katherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Stroke kills 15 million people a year and causes disabilities in many more millions who survive. Most strokes are caused by a blood clot, yet only seven percent of patients qualify for early pharmacological clot removal. Damage is frequently exacerbated even as blood reperfuses an ischaemic brain region, through a concomitant inflammatory response to the damaged tissue. Following the continual failure in clinical trials of drugs intended to tackle both initial excitotoxic cell death and pro-­‐inflammatory mechanisms during ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R), this thesis is premised on enhancing 'pro-­‐resolving' anti-­‐inflammatory pathways. Formyl Peptide Receptor 2/the lipoxin receptor (FPR2/ALX; mouse orthologue Fpr2/3) and two of its ligands, Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and Annexin A1 (AnxA1), are part of an endogenous anti-­‐ inflammatory system. They actively resolve inflammation through a reduction in characteristic leukocyte-­‐endothelial (L-­‐E) interactions, while promoting the production of anti-­‐inflammatory cytokines and non-­‐phlogistic phagocytosis of leukocytes already within tissue. Chapters 3-­‐5 of this thesis describe the development of mouse model of global cerebral I/R (5 min ischaemia/40 min or 2 h reperfusion) through which L-­‐E interactions are assessed using intravital microscopy. Substantial reductions in L-­‐E interactions following treatment with FPR2/ALX ligands (AnxA1 N-­‐ terminal peptide AnxA1Ac2-­‐26 and LXA4 analogue 15-­‐epi-­‐LXA4) are demonstrated along with variations in cytokine levels (MCP-­‐1, IL-­‐6 and IL-­‐10) after 2 h of reperfusion. The reductions are shown to be variable with respect to the duration of reperfusion, concentration of 15-­‐epi-­‐LXA4 and the time of treatment administration. In addition, the effects are abrogated by co-­‐treatment with FPR antagonists, which independently cause a highly pronounced acute inflammatory response in the model. Chapters 6 and 7 provide further investigation into the role of FPRs in stroke and inflammation, through chemotaxis studies on human monocytes (from stroke patients and healthy controls) and through use of an FPR1-­‐target MRI contrast agent in mice following lipopolysaccaride-­‐induced inflammation. Overall, the data provide evidence that Fpr2/3 ligands are able to reduce inflammation following cerebral I/R, that an FPR2/ALX-­‐targeted drug may therefore be effective in human stroke, and that its optimal use is likely to be administration time, dose and FPR2/ALX ligand-­‐dependent.

description: A new dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) method is introduced for simultaneous online system identification and denoising in conjunction with the adoption of an extended Kalman filter algorithm\color{black}. The present paper explains the extended-Kalman-filter-based DMD (EKFDMD) algorithm and illustrates that EKFDMD requires significant numerical resources for many-degree-of-freedom (many-DoF) problems and that the combination with truncated proper orthogonal decomposition (trPOD) helps us to apply the EKFDMD algorithm to many-DoF problems. The numerical experiments of the present study illustrate that EKFDMD can estimate eigenvalues from a noisy dataset with a few DoFs better than or as well as the existing algorithms, whereas EKFDMD can also denoise the original dataset online. In particular, EKFDMD performs better than existing algorithms for the case in which system noise is present. The EKFDMD with trPOD can be successfully applied to many-DoF problems, including a fluid-problem example, and the results reveal the superior performance of system identification and denoising. Note that these superior results are obtained despite being an online procedure.

description: We use numerical simulations to investigate the behaviour of the dipole moment of the spatial distribution of different kinds of mass tracers. We select density peaks of the simulated matter distribution with mean separations of 38 and 30 $h^{-1}$ Mpc to represent two samples of rich clusters of galaxies. We extract, from the same simulations, samples selected to mimic the full 3D galaxy distribution of IR galaxies, and the flux--limited IRAS and QDOT galaxy samples. We compare the dipole moments of these ``galaxy'' and ``cluster'' samples in order to assess the effects of sampling uncertainties and shot--noise on the relationship between the ``true'' underlying galaxy dipole and the dipoles obtained for clusters and for the flux--limited galaxy samples. The results of this analysis demonstrate that the dipoles of both the IRAS and QDOT--like catalogues should trace the full 3D dipole shape fairly accurately, with the loss however of about 15--20$\%$ of the total 3D dipole amplitude. Furthermore, using a simple argument based on linear perturbation theory, on the linear biasing assumption and on the amplitude of the cluster dipole relative to that of galaxies, we can estimate their relative biasing factors quite accurately and in agreement with results obtained by other methods.

Our wide-field survey provides uniform coverage of an area 61.8 square arcmin to a depth equivalent to K=20.1 at 5-sigma. We have also imaged the Hubble Deep Field in HK', providing uniform coverage of an area 7.8 square arcmin to a depth equivalent to K=21.2 at 5-sigma. Using these data in combination with new deep UH 8K V and I imaging obtained on the CFHT, we find only a small population of objects with colors redder than an equivalent I-K=4, the color expected for an evolved elliptical at z>1. We infer that only a fraction of the local field elliptical population with M_K

Bulk space-time geometries in AdS/CFT
Creators: name: Hickling, Andrew Mark
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a geometric description of certain strongly coupled conformal field theories (CFTs). These CFTs are conjectured to have a dual description involving `bulk' space-time geometries that solve Einstein's equation. It is a holographic correspondence, so the CFTs in some sense lives on the boundary of the bulk. In the regime where this description is applicable, the holographic CFTs are at strong coupling, and can be placed on non-trivial curved space-times. In these contexts, other available tools, such as perturbation theory and lattice techniques, break down. Under this correspondence, physical quantities in the CFT can be extracted from the bulk geometry. This means that properties of the CFT will be reflected in features of the dual bulks. Using a mix of basic geometry and numerical methods, we explore ways in which the bulk space-time geometries in the AdS/CFT correspondence reflect physical properties of the dual CFTs. We will, for instance, discuss the role of certain features of the bulk geometry in describing a large scale limit of the CFT state. This will motivate us to construct a class of bulk geometries numerically that describe this large scale limit. We will also find that the geometric tools that come with the bulk description allow us to make powerful statements about the CFTs which would be non-trivial to derive using traditional quantum field theory methods. We will be able to derive bounds on the energy gap and vacuum energy density of these CFTs using basic geometric methods. Finally, we will end with a conjecture of a bound on a finite temperature phase transition in the CFT, which we will present analytical and numerical evidence for using similar bulk geometric arguments.
On the Formation and Evolution of Common Envelope Systems

description: We discuss the formation of a common envelope system following dynamically unstable mass transfer in a close binary, and the subsequent dynamical evolution and final fate of the envelope. We base our discussion on new three-dimensional SPH calculations that we have performed for a close binary system containing a $4\,M_\odot$ red giant with a $0.7\,M_\odot$ main-sequence star companion. The initial parameters are chosen to model the formation of a system resembling V~471~Tau, a typical progenitor of a cataclysmic variable binary. In our highest-resolution calculation, we find evidence for a corotating region of gas around the central binary. This is in agreement with the theoretical model proposed by Meyer \& Meyer-Hofmeister (1979) for the evolution of common envelope systems, in which this central corotating region is coupled to the envelope through viscous angular momentum transport only. We also find evidence that the envelope is convectively unstable, in which case the viscous dissipation time could be as short as $\sim100$ dynamical times, leading to rapid ejection of the envelope. For V~471~Tau, our results, and the observed parameters of the system, are entirely consistent with rapid envelope ejection on a timescale $\sim1\,$yr and an efficiency parameter $α_{CE}\simeq1$.

Genetic analysis of the role of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen leader protein (EBNA-LP) in B cell transformation.
Creators: name: Szymula, Agnieszka
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a gammaherpesvirus that causes infectious mononucleosis and is associated with several human malignancies. In vitro, EBV induces the activation and continuous proliferation of primary human B cells, which carry the viral genome as a latent episome. One of the latency-associated proteins is the EBV nuclear antigen leader protein (EBNA-LP). EBNA-LP is strongly expressed at the initiation of the transformation process and has been previously reported to assist the activation of genes by EBNA-2. To investigate the role and mechanism of action of EBNA-LP in the context of viral infection and B cell transformation, I have generated EBNA-LP knockout EBVs (LP-KO i) and their revertants (LP-REV i) by recombineering in the B95.8 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC). We found that B cells infected with LP-KO i were able to undergo limited proliferation. However, we were not able to establish LCLs after infection of EBV-negative B cells. We also found that LP-REV i was somewhat impaired in its transforming ability. We identified four nucleotide changes in EBNA-LP’s introns in both LP-KO i and LP-REV i that may influence transforming abilities. Therefore, new EBNA-LP knockouts (LP-KO w) containing wild-type intronic sequences were constructed. LP-KO w initially induced proliferation of adult B cells but then slowed around 5-14 days post infection, after which the cells recovered and established LCLs. However, in cord blood, LP-KO w failed to establish LCLs. Transcript level analysis in primary B cell infections showed that EBNA-LP can regulate the EBNA-2-regulated viral genes LMP-1 and LMP-2, as well as the EBER-2 gene, which is EBNA-2-independent. EBNA-LP has also a more limited role in modulating the EBNA-2-targeted host gene HES-1.

Current splitting and valley polarization in elastically deformed graphene

description: Elastic deformations of graphene can significantly change the flow paths and valley polarization of the electric currents. We investigate these phenomena in graphene nanoribbons with localized out-of-plane deformations by means of tight-binding transport calculations. Such deformations can split the current into two beams of almost completely valley polarized electrons and give rise to a valley voltage. These properties are observed for a fairly wide set of experimentally accessible parameters. We propose a valleytronic nanodevice in which a high polarization of the electrons comes along with a high transmission making the device very efficient. In order to gain a better understanding of these effects, we also treat the system in the continuum limit in which the electronic excitations can be described by the Dirac equation coupled to curvature and a pseudo-magnetic field. Semiclassical trajectories offer then an additional insight into the balance of forces acting on the electrons and provide a convenient tool for predicting the behavior of the current flow paths. The proposed device can also be used for a sensitive measurement of graphene deformations.

Effect of Large-Scale Structure on Multiply Imaged Sources

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the effects of large-scale density fluctuations on strong gravitational lensing. Previous studies have focused mostly on weak lensing, since large-scale structure alone cannot produce multiple images. When a galaxy or cluster acts as a primary lens, however, we find that large-scale structure can produce asymmetric shear of the same order as the lens itself. Indeed, this may explain the origin of the large shear found in lens models in conflict with the small ellipticity of the observed galaxy light distributions. We show that large-scale structure changes the lens equation to the form of a generalized quadrupole lens, which affects lens reconstruction. Large-scale structure also changes the angular diameter distance at a given redshift. The precise value depends on the lens and source redshifts and on the large-scale structure power spectrum, but the induced $1σ$ uncertainty in determinations of the Hubble constant from measurements of time delays is of order $5-10 \%$. If observations of lensing can constrain the magnitude of the shear which is due to large-scale structure, it would provide a direct probe of the overall amplitude of mass fluctuations.

Geometric deformations of integrable systems and beyond
Creators: name: Arnaudon, Alexis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: The results of this work were obtained within a single mathematical framework which consists of using the geometrical structure of a given problem not only to study its properties but to implement geometrically consistent deformations. The present interest in such geometric deformations is not only to learn more about the original problem but also to explore new directions, beginning from a common and well-understood starting point and continuing at the interface between several mathematical and physical topics. This approach lays down the foundation of this work upon which various ideas for deformations of several standard systems will be developed and analysed. The mathematical framework that we will be relying on throughout these investigations is the use of symmetries in dynamical systems described by Lie groups which appear in many areas of mathematical physics and in particular in integrable systems, the second theme of this work. Indeed, the integrability of a dynamical system is often related to the existence of symmetries, but usually requires additional structures. The effect of the geometric deformations on the integrability of these systems will be one of the central questions that we will attempt to answer. To undertake such a program, we cannot restrict ourselves to the deformation of a single integrable system, but we must implement various ideas on several and different classic integrable equations in the aim of better characterising their effects and limitations. We will introduce noise, geometric dissipations and Sobolev norms in the classical integrable systems including the rigid body motion, the Toda lattice, the peakon system, partial differential equations such as KdV and NLS as well as the reduced Maxwell-Bloch equation.

description: The complete set of (field) equations for shells of arbitrary, even changing, causal character are derived in arbitrary dimension. New equations that seem to have never been considered in the literature emerge, even in the traditional cases of everywhere non-null, or everywhere null, shells. In the latter case there arise field equations for some degrees of freedom encoded exclusively in the distributional part of the Weyl tensor. For non-null shells the standard Israel equations are recovered but not only, the additional relations containing also relevant information. The results are applicable to a widespread literature on domain walls, branes and braneworlds, gravitational layers, impulsive gravitational waves, and the like. Moreover, they are of a geometric nature, and thus they can be used in any theory based on a Lorentzian manifold.

description: A plethora of toolkits, checklists, and workshops have been developed to bridge the well-documented gap between AI ethics principles and practice. Yet little is known about effects of such interventions on practitioners. We conducted an ethnographic investigation in a major European city organization that developed and works to integrate an ethics toolkit into city operations. We find that the integration of ethics tools by technical teams destabilises their boundaries, roles, and mandates around responsibilities and decisions. This lead to emotional discomfort and feelings of vulnerability, which neither toolkit designers nor the organization had accounted for. We leverage the concept of moral stress to argue that this affective experience is a core challenge to the successful integration of ethics tools in technical practice. Even in this best case scenario, organisational structures were not able to deal with moral stress that resulted from attempts to implement responsible technology development practices.

Silicon doped boron carbide for armour
Creators: name: Besnard, Cyril
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Boron carbide is a popular candidate armour ceramic. During high velocity impact, however, amorphous bands form, leading to the collapse of the structure, and reducing the usefulness of boron carbide in such applications. Recent experimental data from the literature suggests that silicon (Si) doping of boron carbide nanowires reduces this amorphisation. This project focuses on creating a process for Si doping of boron carbide that could potentially be up-scaled to commercial quantities. As shown in this thesis, as long as free carbon, or, in fact, carbon-rich boron carbide is present, Si additions react with carbon to form silicon carbide. Therefore, three methods for reducing the carbon content in boron carbide powders were investigated: plasma cleaning, oxidation/reduction, and annealing in the presence of amorphous boron (B). This resulted in a range of boron carbide powders with various carbon contents covering a wide range of the phase diagram. The effect on the structure of the powder will be discussed. Si was mixed with these boron carbides, and evidence for Si-doped boron carbide phase B12(C,Si,B)3 was found in many of the powders produced, as well as with additional phases. An enhancement of the doping correlated with a reduction in initial carbon content for a comparable concentration of Si. A promising result of the reduction of the amorphisation on the doped powder was confirmed for one condition after high pressure diamond anvil testing. Similarly, the reduction of amorphisation was also confirmed by indentation at the interface of a diffusion couple formed from a wafer of Si annealed at 1400 °C between two pieces of boron carbide. The boron carbide at the interface exhibited Raman features similar to the Si-doped powder. These results of powder and interface suggest that a new type of lightweight armour material could be produced that overcomes one of the biggest challenges of this ceramic: the amorphisation.

description: I investigated genetic and epigenetic variants underlying obesity and related metabolic disturbances with the aim of identifying new disease mechanisms. I first examined the contribution of genetic variation to the increased risk of central obesity (waist-hip-ratio, WHR) in South Asians compared to Europeans by: i) genome-wide association in 10,318 South Asians; ii) exome-wide association in 2,637 South Asians; iii) comparison of risk allele frequencies and effect sizes of 48 known WHR SNPs in South Asians and Europeans. I found no associations between population-specific or cosmopolitan SNPs and WHR, and no evidence of larger genetic effects at known WHR loci in South Asians. I next investigated the cell lineages and causal pathways underlying DNA methylation markers associated with BMI in blood (187 loci, P<1x10-7) by: i. replication testing the loci in isolated white blood cells and adipocytes from obese cases and controls; ii. analysing the relationships between methylation, adiposity, and metabolic disturbances using genetic association. I showed that DNA methylation in blood reflects methylation in isolated white cells (enrichment P<1.2x10-9) and adipocytes (enrichment P<0.05), and is predominantly a consequence rather than a cause of adiposity. I finally evaluated genome-wide DNA methylation in isolated subcutaneous and visceral adipocytes from 24 morbidly obese cases and 24 controls (Illumina-450K) to identify putative obesogenic and diabetogenic processes. I discovered widespread differences in DNA methylation between: i. cases and controls (140 loci, P<1x10-7); ii. subcutaneous and visceral adipocytes (671 loci, P<1x10-7). Loci were enriched in multiple cellular/molecular pathways (case-control N=47, subcutaneous-visceral N=84, P<0.001), and identified known obesity and metabolic genes (e.g. IRX3/IRX5, TBX15, PRMD16). These discoveries will be replicated and functionally characterised in future work. Overall, my results suggest that DNA methylation in adipocytes may be important in obesity and metabolic disease pathogenesis, and that methylation in blood may serve as a biomarker of tissue-specific pathobiological processes.

description: We provide a complete enumeration of all complex Golay pairs of length up to 25, verifying that complex Golay pairs do not exist in lengths 23 and 25 but do exist in length 24. This independently verifies work done by F. Fiedler in 2013 that confirms the 2002 conjecture of Craigen, Holzmann, and Kharaghani that complex Golay pairs of length 23 don't exist. Our enumeration method relies on the recently proposed SAT+CAS paradigm of combining computer algebra systems with SAT solvers to take advantage of the advances made in the fields of symbolic computation and satisfiability checking. The enumeration proceeds in two stages: First, we use a fine-tuned computer program and functionality from computer algebra systems to construct a list containing all sequences which could appear as the first sequence in a complex Golay pair (up to equivalence). Second, we use a programmatic SAT solver to construct all sequences (if any) that pair off with the sequences constructed in the first stage to form a complex Golay pair.

description: We present self-consistent models for the radiative transfer in Shakura-Sunyaev accretion discs in bright low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB). Our calculations include the full effects of incoherent Compton scattering and the vertical temperature structure within the disc, as well as the effects of Doppler blurring and gravitational redshift. We find that the observed X-ray spectra are well fit by exponentially cutoff power-law models. The difference between the observed total spectrum and our calculated disc spectrum should reveal the spectrum of the disc/neutron star boundary layer and other emitting regions considered to be present in LMXB.

One-dimensional modelling of pulse separation strategy, waste-gated turbines and electric turbocharger systems for downsized turbocharged gasoline engines
Creators: name: Ismail, Muhammad Izzal
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The demand for CO2 emission reduction for modern road vehicles has seen engine downsizing become a key trend in internal combustion engine design: a smaller engine has reduced pumping, frictional and heat losses, and therefore better fuel economy. Turbocharger technology is one of the enabling technologies, offering lower specific fuel consumption and producing more power for a given engine capacity. The turbocharger matching process, which specifies an appropriate turbocharger design for a particular engine, is crucial in obtaining optimum engine performance. In order to achieve a high level of accuracy in the system-level prediction, high fidelity turbocharger models are required; but such models have not yet reached fruition. The present study has assessed the effect of preserving the exhaust pulse energy from an engine right through to the turbine on the steady and transient engine performance. A combination of appropriate turbine sizing and pulse-divided exhaust manifold was applied, and as a consequence, lower back pressure and improved engine scavenging reduced residual content by 28%, while the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) improves by approx. 1.2% on average over speed range. Furthermore, the implementation of electric turbo assist (ETA) system on the engine results in better fuel economy by 2.4%. The present work has also assessed the overall engine performance using a commercial 1-D gas dynamics simulation tool by modelling the waste-gated turbines in a novel manner. This approach has been validated experimentally. The study also examined the benefits of electric turbocharger systems for a highly-downsized engine, a modified version of the baseline engine. Some potential multi-boosting systems were applied, and the overall benefits in terms of engine performance were assessed. An integration of an electric turbocharger and a low-pressure turbine with electric turbo compounding gives the best advantages particularly in pumping loss, residual and transient performance while improving fuel economy in comparison with other systems.
Therapeutic effects and potential use of imidazoline receptors and TSPO ligands as PET tracers for gliosis in mouse models of AD

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis is associated with a chronic inflammatory response, supported by the presence of activated astrocytes and microglia surrounding amyloid plaques in the brain of AD patients and animal models of the disease. Previous studies have shown increased TSPO expression in activated microglia and there is evidence suggesting the density of type-2 imidazoline receptors (I2IR) may serve as a marker for astrocytes. In addition, I2IR ligands have shown neuroprotective properties in several animal models of CNS injury. In this study, our aim was to 1) evaluate the suitability of two PET radioligands, TSPO-specific tracer [11C]PBR28 and I2IR-selective tracer [11C]BU99008, for the in vivo visualization and quantification of activated microglia and astrocytes in the AD brain, respectively; 2) investigate the putative beneficial effects of chronic treatment with the I2IR-selective ligand BU224 in the 5XFAD mouse model of AD. We found significantly higher brain retention of [11C]PBR28 in the 5XFAD transgenic mouse model of AD compared with wild-type (WT) control mice, indicating a higher brain density of TSPO in the transgenic AD animals. This was confirmed by visualization of TSPO, using [3H]PBR28, in brain tissue of scanned mice. The spatial pattern of TSPO enrichment coincided with higher microglial density in regions of extensive amyloid deposition. In post-mortem AD brain tissue, a higher I2IR density was detected by [3H]BU99008, particularlyin regions enriched in astrocytes. However, no correspondence between I2IR density and astrocyte density was found in the mouse brain. Chronic treatment with I2IR ligand BU224 in 5XFAD mice at severe stages of the disease resulted in the reversal of impairments in memory and hippocampal neurogenesis, reduced microgliosis, down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increases in synaptic density. In conclusion, we provide evidence for the feasibility of longitudinal TSPO PET imaging using [11C]PBR28 in live mice to monitor changes in levels of microglial activation, and the potential use of [11C]BU99008 for the detection of astrocytes in AD patients, but not mouse models of the disease. Our findings also provide novel support for the association of I2IRs and neurodegenerative disorders and suggest a new therapeutic target for the clinical treatment of AD, even at severe stages of disease with high amyloid burden in the brain.

description: We present spectroscopy of planetary nebulae in M32 and in the bulge of M31 that we obtained with the MOS spectrograph at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Our sample includes 30 planetary nebulae in M31 and 9 planetary nebulae in M32. We also observed one H II region in the disk of M31. We detected [O III]$λ$4363 in 18 of the planetary nebulae, 4 in M32 and 14 in the bulge of M31. We use our line intensities to derive electron temperatures and oxygen abundances for the planetary nebulae.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We explore the space of renormalization group flows that originate from $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(2)$ gauge theory with one adjoint and a pair of fundamental chiral multiplets. By considering all possible relevant deformations - including coupling to gauge-singlet chiral multiplets - we find 34 fixed points in this simple setup. We observe that theories in this class exhibit many novel phenomena: emergent symmetry, decoupling of operators, and narrow distribution of central charges $a/c$. This set of theories includes two of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ minimal Argyres-Douglas theories and their mass deformed versions. In addition, we find 36 candidate fixed point theories possessing unphysical fermionic operators -including one with central charges $(a, c)\simeq (0.20, 0.22)$ that are smaller than any known superconformal theory -that need further investigation.
