Quasi-local structure of p-form theory
Creators: name: Chruscinski, D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that the Hamiltonian dynamics of the self-interacting, abelian p-form theory in D=2p+2 dimensional space-time gives rise to the quasi-local structure. Roughly speaking, it means that the field energy is localized but on closed 2p-dimensional surfaces (quasi-localized). From the mathematical point of view this approach is implied by the boundary value problem for the corresponding field equations. Various boundary problems, e.g. Dirichlet or Neumann, lead to different Hamiltonian dynamics. Physics seems to prefer gauge-invariant, positively defined Hamiltonians which turn out to be quasi-local. Our approach is closely related with the standard two-potential formulation and enables one to generate e.g. duality transformations in a perfectly local way (but with respect to a new set of nonlocal variables). Moreover, the form of the quantization condition displays very similar structure to that of the symplectic form of the underlying p-form theory expressed in the quasi-local language.

Processing and Deformation of ZrB2
Creators: name: Wang, Jianye
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Zirconium diboride, ZrB2, based materials have been proposed for structural applications at ultra-high temperatures (>2000 [degrees] C). However, their mechanical behaviour at such temperatures is only poorly documented. In this work, the processing and the deformation behaviour of ZrB2 at temperatures up to 2000 [degrees] C is investigated. Densification of zirconium diboride based materials is difficult and most reported routes use a combination of high pressures and high temperatures to obtain a high density. However, it had been reported that with the aid of carbon, boron carbide and silicon carbide, pressureless sintering of ZrB2 is possible. Further work in this thesis shows that the key factor to obtain successful sintering is to limit the oxidation of the raw materials. It is shown also that dense materials can be obtained from relatively coarse powders with only carbon as the sintering additive. Adding silicon carbide or boron carbide does allow the grain growth at the sintering temperature to be limited. Mechanical characterisation of these materials was performed firstly using small-scale hardness measurements by nano-indentation at moderate temperatures (25-300 [degrees] C). The indentations were carried out at strain rates in the range 10-4 and 10-1 s-1. An analysis to extract the Peierls stress (6.6 ± 0.7 GPa) and activation energy (2.56 ± 1:6 x 10-19 J) for lattice resistance controlled plastic flow is presented. Additional mechanical characterisation consisted in measuring the self-contact hardness at temperatures from 900-2000 [degrees] C. These measurements clarify that the initial rapid decrease in hardness at room temperature is followed by a region of more or less constant hardness before further decreases in hardness become apparent at the highest temperatures. A TEM investigation of the deformation mechanisms shows that near room temperature, extensive dislocation flow occurs underneath indentations, whereas at the highest temperatures measured in this work, dislocations either anneal out or do not partake in the deformation. The available data was then summarised through proposing a deformation mechanism map for ZrB2.

description: The hydrogenation and deuteration of graphite with potassium intercalation compounds (GICs) as starting materials was investigated. Characterization of the reactions products (hydrogenated and deuterated graphene) was carried out by thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TG-MS) and Raman spectroscopy including statistical Raman spectroscopy (SRS) and -microscopy (SRM). The results reveal that the choice of the hydrogen/deuterium source, the nature of the graphite (used as starting material), the potassium concentration in the intercalation compound as well as the choice of the solvent have a great impact on the reaction outcome. Furthermore, it was possible to proof that both mono and few-layer hydrogenated/deuterated graphene can be produced.
Constructing and validating modelled concentration surfaces for Black Smoke and Sulphur Dioxide across Great Britain, 1955-2001
Creators: name: Morris, Chloe
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This thesis was funded as part of the Chronic Health Effects of Smoke and SO2 in the UK (CHESS-UK) project and was aimed at deriving modelled concentration surfaces of historic black smoke and sulphur dioxide in Great Britain for 1955 onwards as a basis for exposure assessment in epidemiological investigations of chronic health effects. The UK’s National Smoke and Sulphur Dioxide Survey provides monitored concentration data from 1955 - 2005 with over 3,000 sites in existence over time. These measured concentrations of black smoke and sulphur dioxide served as a core set of data for the modelling of exposures at 1km scale. Additional data sourced and developed for input into modelling included modelled emission maps (generated with AEA Technology), emission proxies (including land cover and road networks), information on environmental factors (topography and meteorology), population distribution and some ancillary data (e.g. smoke control areas and the Douglas Waller Index based on domestic coal sales). An important product of this work are the data, aimed at modelling historical exposures to air pollution, fully geo-referenced and integrated into a geographic information system. This GIS was used as a platform to test and compare different appropriate methodologies for modelling and mapping air pollution concentrations. Methods evaluated include: ordinary kriging, emission based modelling (dispersion and focalsum); and land use regression models developed using emission proxies. Focus was placed on modelling one target year for each decade (1962, 1971, 1981 and 1991). Modelling methods were piloted for 1971, where ordinary kriging and land use regression outperformed other methods. These were developed further across the full study period with 90% data for model development and 10% reserved for evaluation. The LUR models were ultimately selected as the best consistent approach over the long time period, with model R2s ranging from 0.7 in early years to 0.3 in later years.

An investigation into age-associated undernutrition
Creators: name: Moss, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Loss of appetite is frequently observed during ageing; termed the ‘anorexia of ageing’. Some evidence suggests that with advancing age there is an increase in satiety hormones, such as CCK and PYY, and a decrease in the hunger hormone ghrelin which may contribute to the anorexia of ageing. However, not all studies agree, emphasising the need for more in depth research to clarify age related changes. My first study developed a rat model to replicate the hormonal responses observed in humans. However, the results of this study did not replicate human studies; there were no alterations gastrointestinal hormones. I then designed a human study to examine more comprehensively, the effect of ageing on gastrointestinal peptide hormone release. Healthy human volunteers aged 20 to 92 years were studied in fasting and post-prandial conditions. The results demonstrated an increase in PYY concentrations post-prandially in older volunteers. In order to understand the mechanism behind this, I followed this study with an investigation looking at the changes in gastrointestinal hormones in ageing mice colons. The data produced results conflicting with the human study, since no increase in PYY levels was observed. Dietary manipulation provides a good opportunity to alter gastrointestinal appetite hormone release, since release differs depending on the macronutrient content of the food consumed. My final studies focused on high protein diets. Results demonstrated that older volunteers were insensitive to the satiating effect of protein, where younger volunteers ate less following a high protein test meal but the older volunteers food intake did not change. Gastrointestinal appetite hormones concentrations did not change significantly between the high and low protein meals in the older and younger adults. These results suggest that age-associated reductions in appetite could be due to a resultant increase in the satiety hormone PYY. More studies need to be conducted to understand the role of protein on appetite and food intake in older adults.
Supplementary Code for "Imaging biological tissue with high-throughput single-pixel compressive holography"

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This file contains two subfolders, of which the names are 'preparation for Hadamard-like patterns' and 'holographic reconstruction'. These two subfolders include the relevant codes that perform the completely different functionalities during the single-pixel holographic imaging demonstration. Here, we introduce their functionalities, respectively. -------------------------------------------------------------------
 Preparation of the Hadamard-like patterns (MATLAB)
 ------------------------------------------------------------------- The file 'DMD_hadamard256.m' in this file folder is used to generate Hadamard-like patterns with orders up to 256 × 256. Hadamard-like patterns with different orders can be generated as well by adjusting the parameter 'number' in this file. The execution of this file with commercialized software MATLAB generates a sequence of Hadamard-like patterns in the format of .txt binary files. To minimize phase drifting caused by environmental disturbance during the experiment, the first order of Hadamard-like patterns (DC signal) is inserted after every 16 modulation patterns as the tracking base. Therefore, 73,728 patterns are generated in a sequence and it takes about 25 minutes to finish this one-time preparation. -------------------------------------------------------------------
 Holographic reconstruction (MATLAB)
 ------------------------------------------------------------------- This folder contains two subfolders named 'stained tissue from mouse tails' and 'unstained tissue from mouse brains'. Here, the self-built codes and reconstructive results for holographically imaging the stained tissues from mouse tails and unstained tissue from mouse brains are archived in the corresponding subfolder, respectively. These two subfolders have similar contents, including the main MATLAB file of 'singlepixel_dataprocessing_complex.m' for holographic reconstruction, supporting subfunctions for reconstruction, holographic results and some corresponding stastical production.

description: We report on a simple strategy to treat mean-field limits of quantum mechanical systems in which a large number of particles weakly couple to a second-quantized radiation field. Extending the method of counting, introduced in [Lett. Math. Phys. 97, 151-164], with ideas inspired by [http://www.mathematik.uni-muenchen.de/%7Ebohmmech/theses/Matulevicius_Vytautas_MA.pdf] and [J. Math. Phys. 54(1), 012303] leads to a technique that can be seen as a combination of the method of counting and the coherent state approach. It is similar to the coherent state approach but might be slightly better suited to systems in which a fixed number of particles couple to radiation. The strategy is effective and provides explicit error bounds. As an instructional example we derive the Schrödinger-Klein-Gordon system of equations from the Nelson model with ultraviolet cutoff. Furthermore, we derive explicit bounds on the rate of convergence of the one-particle reduced density matrix of the non-relativistic particles in Sobolev norm. More complicated models like the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian can be treated in a similar manner [arXiv:1609.01545].

On Fueling Gamma-Ray Bursts and Their Afterglows with Pulsars

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows seem to result from dissipation of bulk energy in relativistic outflows, but their engine has not been unambiguously identified. The engine could be a young pulsar formed from accretion induced collapse with a dynamo amplified field. Elsewhere, we suggest that such a ``Usov type'' strong field pulsar may help explain the bimodal distribution in GRB durations. Here we discuss possible roles of a pulsar for the afterglow. We derive the expected bolometric luminosity decay. The extracted rotational energy could dissipate by shocks or by large amplitude electromagnetic waves (LAEMW). The simplest LAEMW approach predicts a slower decay in observed afterglow peak frequency and faster decay in flux than the simplest blast-wave model, though more complicated models of both can provide different dependences. LAEMW do not require the rapid magnetic field amplification demanded of the blast-wave approach because the emission originates from a nearly fixed radius. Different time dependent behavior of GRB and post-GRB emission is also predicted. Observational evidence for a pulsar in a GRB would make some GRB engine models, such as neutron star mergers and black holes unlikely. Therefore, the question of whether a pulsar is present is an important one even if it could drive a canonical fireball.

Enantiopure bromonium ion-induced cation-π cyclisations
Creators: name: Marklew, Jared Stephen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: There has been an astonishing variety of sesqui- and diterpene metabolites isolated—mainly from Laurencia species, or their predators—which possess the enantiopure α,α-dimethylcyclohexyl bromide moiety. The key step in their biogenesis is generally considered to be an enzyme-mediated formation of an asymmetric bromonium ion which initiates a cation-π cyclisation. This diverse array of terpene natural products is explored in the introduction to this thesis and their biogenesis via cation-π cyclisations analysed. Synthetic sources of electrophilic bromine such as NBS, TBCO and BDSB have been shown to initiate brominative polyene cyclisations with excellent control of relative stereochemistry albeit as necessarily racemic products. At the start of this work no asymmetric bromonium ion-induced polyene cyclisations had been demonstrated. Studies on a model system for the key in situ enantiopure bromonium ion generation and intramolecular trapping are described. Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation provides access to enantiopure diols of a trisubstituted alkene which can be manipulated to enantiopure bromohydrins. These are activated as 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoate esters which cyclise cleanly under the action of catalytic triflic acid to give enantiopure bromo-bicycles without racemisation from bromonium ion to alkene transfer. The mechanism of this reaction is investigated, it is practically demonstrated and shorter routes are explored. The synthesis of high purity linear terpene: homogeranyl 4-methoxybenzene is discussed, from which the synthesis of enantiopure bromo-tetrafluorobenzoate esters is carried out. The use of Lewis acid, in this case dimethylaluminium triflate, was found to successfully enact the cyclisation of these alkene containing substrates. Full conversion to cyclic products was achieved and the desired tricyclic product was isolated as a mixture of enantiopure diastereomers. Absolute and relative configuration of both diastereomers were determined by radical dehalogenation and comparison of the sign of the optical rotation of the product to literature values. Finally, the synthesis of homofarnesyl 4-methoxybenzene derived substrates is detailed. The cyclisation of which has the potential to generate tetracyclic compounds. This forms the basis of future work to be carried out.
Thermal management of permanent magnet electric machines : an integrated approach of design, monitoring and control
Creators: name: Hey Heng Kiat, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The widespread application of electric machines across different industries have a large impact on the operation cost and energy usage. This has driven research to improve the performance of electric machines in terms of the power density, efficiency and reliability. A comprehensive method of thermal management integrating the design, monitoring and control of electric machines is proposed in this research. The method is applied to two permanent magnet motors - a high power axial flux motor and a high precision linear motor. Firstly, a two stage optimization technique is applied to the design of the linear motor. A first stage global search using Genetic Algorithm followed by a second stage Branch and Bound method is a systematic way of searching for the optimal feasible solution. It resulted in an improved design which is more compact in size and produces a higher thrust force (39.9%) while reducing the heat generation (26.2%) when compared to an initial design. The design optimization takes into consideration the multi-physics interactions using a reduced order model. This resulted in a computation time saving of 80% over a commercial software optimization package while modelling accuracy is maintained through an output space mapping technique. During a continuous 5 hour cyclic positioning application, a model based compensation method is applied to the linear motor for real time thermal disturbance rejection. It resulted in improved positioning accuracy with a final mean unidirectional position deviation of −0.2μm and repeatability of ±0.7μm. Effective disturbance rejection is achieved through accurate disturbance modelling while using minimal sensor measurements. The minimal realization of the compensation model is achieved through model identification. In addition, a Modified Kalman Filter is proposed which led to a reduction in the number of temperature sensors required. Lastly, an experimentally determined lumped parameter thermal model is used for condition monitoring of the high power motor. Components of the electromagnetic losses are derived from a parameter estimation method using temperature measurement as input to the model. The method is able to detect input current fluctuations during a drive cycle which makes it possible to identify faults like a short circuit. Moreover, the model is useful for real time temperature monitoring which provides thermal protection against transient overloads. The modelling accuracy is improved by using a model identification technique to determine the thermal parameters.

description: We analyze the large N supergravity descriptions of the class of type IIB models T-dual to elliptic type IIA brane configurations containing two orientifold 6-planes and up to two NS 5-branes. The T-dual IIB configurations contain N D3-branes in the background of an orientifold 7-plane and, in some models, a Z_2 orbifold and/or D7-branes, which give rise to four-dimensional N=2 (or N=4) gauge theories with at most two factors. We identify the chiral primary states of the supergravity theories, and match them to gauge invariant operators of the corresponding superconformal theories using Maldacena's duality.

description: Multicolor excitation is at the core of many fluorescence spectroscopy techniques such as PIE-FRET, ALEX-FRET, or FCCS. However, the influence of the multiple laser excitations on the dye photophysics is often overlooked. Here, we show that green laser pulses can surprisingly quench the fluorescence of common red dyes Alexa Fluor 647 and Atto 647N, even when the conditions leading to photobleaching are avoided. The physical origin of this phenomenon is discussed via a long-lived dark state and/or photorefractive effects. These observations are important to avoid measurement artifacts as both the fluorophore concentration and the fluorescence brightness are affected.

description: The public policy exception is an important tool for Member States to derogate from freedom of movement provisions, especially in the area of freedom of movement of persons. Whilst its use has been framed by the Court of Justice at European level, the exact definition of what public policy covers has traditionally been left to the national authorities. In a relatively recent evolution, the Court of Justice started to introduce European elements of definition within the public policy exception, by referring to European norms such as legislations on drug trafficking or arts 2 and 3 TEU. This first step towards the idea of a European public policy exception triggers questions as to the model of adjudication of such an exception in its European dimension. This Article argues that the current model, which is based on a wide margin of discretion for Member States, would be unfit for the adjudication of a European public policy exception. Instead, for cases where the public policy interest is not only national but also European, the conflict between freedom of movement of the individual and the (European) public policy threat they represent should be understood as a conflict between European interests. The resolution of such a conflict would then entail a reconciliation of those interests at European level.

description: G15.9+0.2 is a Galactic shell-type supernova remnant (SNR), which was detected in radio and has been confirmed in X-rays based on Chandra observations. An X-ray point source CXOUJ181852.0-150213 has been detected and suggested to be an associated neutron star. In a recent study, we have confirmed the source to be a central compact object (CCO). We have studied the SNR using high-resolution X-ray data taken with Chandra in combination with infrared (IR) data in order to understand its emission and to derive its physical parameters. This will also help to constrain, e.g., the age of the CCO and the environment in which it was born. The spectral analysis of the X-ray emission using the new Chandra data and the comparison to the IR data have shown that the SNR is relatively young with an age of a few thousand years and that its emission is dominated by that of shocked interstellar medium (ISM). However, the analysis of the spectrum of the bright eastern shell shows that there is an additional emission component with enhanced abundances of α elements and Fe, suggesting ejecta emission. The multi-wavelength emission is consistent with SNR G15.9+0.2 expanding in an ISM with a density gradient, while there is also colder material located in front of the SNR, which absorbs its thermal X-ray emission in the softer bands.

Results obtained by Cullum's and Willoughby's variant of the Lanczos method (whose convergence behaviour is closely linked with the local spectral density) are presented for euclidean Wilson fermions in quenched and unquenched SU(2) gauge fields. Complete spectra are determined on lattices up to $8^3 \cdot 12$, and we derive numerical values for fermionic determinants and results for spectral densities.

The role of short chain fatty acids in appetite regulation
Creators: name: Psichas, Arianna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The current obesity epidemic poses a major challenge to public health. Apart from bariatric surgery, a safe and effective long-term treatment for obesity has yet to be identified. Therefore, an improved understanding of the physiology of energy homeostasis is now more critical than ever. Epidemiologically, there is an inverse association between consumption of fermentable fibre and weight gain. This is supported by experimental studies, which demonstrate that increasing the consumption of fermentable fibre can reduce appetite and body weight. It is thought that these effects may be attributable, at least in part, to the bacterial fermentation of fibre in the colon yielding short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs have been identified as ligands for the G-protein coupled receptors GPR41 and GPR43. There are fundamental gaps in our current understanding of the physiological roles of SCFAs and their receptors in energy homeostasis, and of their specific effects in different endocrine tissues. This thesis investigates the effects of colonic SCFAs on anorectic gut hormone release from enteroendocrine L cells, and the role of GPR43 in mediating these effects. I established mouse and human primary L cell models in our laboratory and used them to demonstrate that SCFAs, and particularly propionate, stimulate the release of anorectic gut hormones peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). I confirmed that colonic administration of propionate increases plasma gut hormone concentrations in vivo, in rats and mice. I then explored the mechanisms underlying propionate-induced gut hormone release in vitro. I demonstrated that Gpr43-/- L cells exhibit significantly attenuated PYY and GLP-1 secretion in response to propionate; a result which was also confirmed for the first time in vivo using Gpr43-/- mice. These findings suggest that colonic SCFA signalling via GPR43 may play an important physiological role. Further investigation is now required to characterise the intracellular signalling mechanisms underlying GPR43-activated gut hormone secretion and to determine the wider role of GPR43 in energy homeostasis.

Medical Robotics for use in MRI Guided Endoscopy
Creators: name: North, Oliver John
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a developing field that aims to provide intra-operative MRI to a clinician to guide diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures. MRI provides excellent soft tissue contrast at sub-millimetre resolution in both 2D and 3D without the need for ionizing radiation. Images can be acquired in near real-time for guidance purposes. Operating in the MR environment brings challenges due to the high static magnetic field, switching magnetic field gradients and RF excitation pulses. In addition high field closed bore scanners have spatial constraints that severely limit access to the patient. This thesis presents a system for MRI-guided Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP). This includes a remote actuation system that enables an MRI-compatible endoscope to be controlled whilst the patient is inside the MRI scanner, overcoming the spatial and procedural constraints imposed by the closed scanner bore. The modular system utilises non-magnetic ultrasonic motors and is designed for image-guided user-in-the-loop control. A novel miniature MRI compatible clutch has been incorporated into the design to reduce the need for multiple parallel motors. The actuation system is MRI compatible does not degrade the MR images below acceptable levels. User testing showed that the actuation system requires some degree of training but enables completion of a simulated ERCP procedure with no loss of performance. This was demonstrated using a tailored ERCP simulator and kinematic assessment tool, which was validated with users from a range of skill levels to ensure that it provides an objective measurement of endoscopic skill. Methods of tracking the endoscope in real-time using the MRI scanner are explored and presented here. Use of the MRI-guided ERCP system was shown to improve the operator’s ability to position the endoscope in an experimental environment compared with a standard fluoroscopic-guided system.
Role of hsp-27 in cardiac transplant rejection

description: Prevention of allograft rejection following cardiac transplantation is the major obstacle to long-term graft survival. Previous studies have suggested that overexpression of hsp-27 protects against non-transplant atherosclerosis and cardiac allograft vasculopathy in humans and ex vivo induced I/R injury in mice. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether overexpression of hsp-27 protects the heart from acute and chronic rejection using mice overexpressing HA-tagged human hsp-27 as donors. Overexpression of HA-tagged hsp-27 was confirmed by western blot and immunocytochemistry. ELISA showed presence of hsp-27 in the serum of transgenic animals. In the acute rejection model, B10.A hearts from transgenic or littermate controls were transplanted into C57BL/6 wild-type recipients. Survival of transgenic allografts was significantly prolonged compared to littermate control allografts. Furthermore, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry results demonstrated decreased cellular infiltration of CD3+ and CD8+ T-cells and decreased inflammatory cytokines in transgenic allografts compared to controls. A chronic rejection model was established by grafting B10.A donor hearts into CD4+ T-cell depleted CBA recipients. Cardiac allografts harvested at 4, 6 and 8 weeks post-transplant showed reduced intimal thickening and less vessels affected in transgenic allografts compared to littermate controls. This was associated with significant diminution of infiltrating T-cells but augmentation of IL-4 production in transgenic grafts. Flow cytometry analyses showed that hsp-27 may not influence alloantibody production. Ex vivo studies suggest that overexpression of hsp-27 significantly decreased the activity of caspase-3, -9 and -1 following ischaemia. In addition, the increase in caspase-3 activity was significantly reduced in transgenic hearts following I/R injury in vivo. However, this study failed to demonstrate the immunomodulatory effect of hsp-27 in vitro. Our data suggest that hsp-27 protects against acute and chronic rejection. Protective mechanisms include a delay in inflammatory responses and protection against apoptosis of cardiomyocytes.

description: The effects on immune function and egg productivity of 2 commercial lignocellulose supplements with similar insoluble and soluble fibre concentrations and water holding capacities, were determined in Hy-Line Brown hens from 20 weeks-of-age for 8 weeks. Hens were fed 1 of 3 diets (6 pens/diet, 3 hens/pen): Control diet – a commercial layer diet; Diet LC1 - Control diet plus 1.5 g Arbocel RC fine/100 g diet; Diet LC2, Control diet plus 1.5 g OptiCell C5/100 g diet. After 4 weeks, heterophil phagocytosis index and percentage (innate immunity), was greater in LC1 (p < 0.05) than Controls. After 8 weeks, absolute and relative weights (g/100 g BW) of LC1 thymus glands were heavier (p < 0.05) than Control; numbers of intestinal Peyer’s patches in LC1 were greater (p < 0.05) than LC2 and Control; total and relative areas of LC1 Peyer’s patches were higher (p < 0.05) than Control. Yolk immunoglobulin Y concentrations of LC1 were higher but not significantly, than Control and LC2. Between 6 and 8 weeks, egg weights and eggs produced/hen per d of LC1 hens were greater (p < 0.05) than Controls. Feeding LC1, but not LC2, during early lay significantly improved immune function and egg productivity compared to Control. As dietary fibre concentrations of LC1 and LC2 were similar, differences in their relative concentrations of chemical components such as cellulose and lignin or types of polysaccharides, may have contributed to the improvements during early lay. Lignocellulose supplements (LC) had similar soluble and insoluble fibre contents.Hens fed LC1 had improved immune function and egg production compared to Controls.

description: Improvements in ground-based, advanced gravitational wave (GW) detectors may allow in the near future to observe the GW signal of a nearby core-collapse supernova. For the most common type of progenitors, likely with slowly rotating cores, the dominant GW emission mechanisms are the post-bounce oscillations of the proto-neutron star (PNS) before the explosion. We present a new procedure to compute the eigenmodes of the system formed by the PNS and the stalled accretion shock in general relativity including spacetime perturbations. The new method improves on previous results by accounting for perturbations of both the lapse function and the conformal factor. We apply our analysis to two numerical core-collapse simulations and show that our improved method is able to obtain eigenfrequencies that accurately match the features observed in the GW signal and to predict the qualitative behaviour of quasi-radial oscillations. Our analysis is possible thanks to a newly developed algorithm to classify the computed eigenmodes in different classes (f-, p-, and g-modes), improving previous results which suffered from misclassification issues. We find that most of the GW energy is stored in the lowest order eigenmodes, in particular in the $^2g_1$ mode and in the $^2f$ mode. Our results also suggest that a low-frequency component of the GW signal attributed in previous works to the characteristic frequency of the Standing Accretion Shock Instability should be identified as the fundamental quadrupolar f-mode. We also develop a formalism to estimate the contribution of quasi-radial ($l=0$) modes to the quadrupolar component of the GW emission in the case of a deformed background, with application to rapidly rotating cores. This work provides further support for asteroseismology of core-collapse supernovae and the inference of PNS properties based on GW observations.

description: The results of a series of five \sax observations of the TeV BL Lac object 1ES2344+514 are briefly presented. Large amplitude luminosity variability, associated to impressive spectral changes in the hard X-rays, have been found. The shape of the lightcurve depends on energy, with the flare starting and ending in the hard band, but with maximum intensity possibly reached earlier in the soft X-rays. The luminosity and spectral changes may be due to a shift of the peak of the synchrotron emission from the soft X-rays to the hard X-ray band similar to that detected during \sax observations of MKN 501.

description: Organisms respond to environmental stressors in various ways, including moving, adapting, acclimatising or a combination of responses. Urbanisation brings an array of stressors into the environment, such as habitat loss, contaminants, and excess nutrients. Since estuaries are the ecotone between fresh and saltwater environments, resident communities already experience intense natural stressors. With the additional pressure of urbanisation, effects on organisms are likely to be compounded and exacerbated. It is therefore important to understand the eco-physiological characteristics enabling organisms to persist in urbanised estuaries. 
Habitat-forming species such as macro-algae are foundational engineers of underwater communities and ecosystems, yet some are declining due to urbanisation. This project assessed the sources of phenotypic variation in the golden kelp Ecklonia radiata across an urban estuary, Sydney Harbour. We found that kelp morphology differed significantly across the harbour. Kelp individuals were smaller, had fewer laminae, and were devoid of spines in the inner harbour where it was warmer, more contaminated and less light was available. Inner harbour populations were also characterised by lower tissue nitrogen concentrations and higher lead concentrations. 
Investigating the trait variation of E. radiata provides insights into how urbanisation could affect its morphology and physiology, and potential consequences for associated ecological functions.
