The role of HOIL-1, HOIP and SHARPIN in immune signalling
Creators: name: Rieser, Eva
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Members of the tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, the interleukin-1 Receptor (IL-1R), the Toll-like Receptor (TLR) and the NOD-like receptor (NLRs) families play crucial roles in the initiation of innate immune responses. Even though the stimulation of these different receptors is triggered by upstream signalling components which are largely receptor-specific, their signalling cascades generally converge in the activation of both mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and the inhibitor of nuclear factor–𝜅B (I𝜅B) kinases (IKKs). The activation of MAPKs and IKKs are crucial events in the signalling cascades of TNFR-, IL-1R-, TLR- and NLR family members and result in the activation of distinct transcription factors such as AP-1 and NF-𝜅B, respectively. In order to gain a more comprehensive picture of the signalling components associated with TNFR1 our group developed a modified tandem affinity purification (moTAP) strategy. This led to the identification of three novel components of the native TNFR1 signalling complex (TNFRSC): HOIL-1, HOIP and SHARPIN. Together, they form the “linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex” (LUBAC), a tripartite E3 ligase complex which generates linear ubiquitin chains. LUBAC activity is required for efficient TNF-mediated activation of NF-𝜅B and JNK by linearly ubiquitinating NEMO and RIP1 in the TNF-RSC. Mutation of the SHARPIN-encoding gene in mice results in chronic proliferative dermatitis (cpdm). The cpdm phenotype is characterised by inflammatory skin lesions and defective lymphoid organogenesis. In this thesis it is shown that mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and primary keratinocytes generated from cpdm mice showed impaired activation of the MAPK- and NF-𝜅B signalling pathways following stimulation by various TNF and IL-1 family members as well as by different TLR ligands. These alterations were also apparent in bone marrow-derived macrophages isolated from cpdm mice. Thereby, lack of SHARPIN exerted an inhibitory effect on gene-activatory signal transduction by these immune stimuli. Similar defects in NF- 𝜅B and MAPK signalling were also observed with a ligand for the NLR family member NOD2. Cells generated from mice conditionally deficient for the other LUBAC components exhibited similar alterations in diverse innate immune signalling pathways. These results imply that SHARPIN and HOIL-1 cannot substitute each other but instead cooperate with HOIP to generate linear ubiquitin chains in the signalling pathways that are activated by diverse immune receptors. In summary, the results of this thesis identify LUBAC and the linear ubiquitin chains it generates as previously unrecognised components of various signalling pathways which are central to the induction of immunity and regulation of inflammation.
The phylogenetic structure of ecological communities under change
Creators: name: Pearse, William D.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Darwin first noticed that closely-related species tend to be more similar, and that this brings them into more severe competition with one another. In my thesis, I use information on the phylogenetic relatedness of species to help understand the processes that structure ecological assemblages. I start with a review of how phylogenetic structure is useful to ecologists (chapter one), and the methodological tools available to study it (chapter two). I then re-analyse the Barro Colorado Island dataset, finding shifts in phylogenetic structure across extremely fine spatial and phylogenetic scales that previously used measures were unable to detect (chapter three). I outline a new tool that automatically generates phylogenies for ecologists, making use of online DNA sequence databases (chapter four). Using trait and phylogenetic data, I examine marine benthic invertebrate assemblages (chapter five), and characterise the structure of British birds and butterflies (chapter six). I then prioritise British plant conservation according to a new scheme that includes evolutionary distinctiveness, species threat and our degree of uncertainty about species threat (chapter seven), and conclude by considering future directions for the study of the phylogenetic structure of ecological communities (chapter eight).
The relationship between obscured AGN and their host galaxies
Creators: name: Rangel, Cyprian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis presents an investigation into obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) activity at high redshift and the interactions they share with their host galaxies. Using a combination of X-ray spectral fitting and X-ray stacking analyses, three studies are undertaken in this work. The first study is a reinvestigation of a specific group of X-ray undetected mid-IR excess galaxies at z ~ 2 that have previously been identified as Compton thick AGN candidates through X-ray stacking analysis. The parent sample of optically identified galaxies is found to possess above average obscured AGN activity. The galaxies exhibiting mid-IR excess, however, do not exhibit elevated levels of obscured AGN activity relative to the parent sample. Key to this result is the increased depth of X-ray observations, which resolves hard X-ray sources that had biased earlier stacking analyses. The second study concerns the nature of AGN residing in massive galaxies at z ~ 2. The highlight of this research is the identification of two accretion modes which are dependent upon host galaxy compactness: a “transformative mode for compact galaxies and a “maintenance mode for extended galaxies. AGN in the transformative mode are heavily obscured and X-ray luminous and are thought to rapidly quench star formation in their host galaxies through violent feedback. The AGN in “maintenance mode have lower luminosities and tend to be unobscured, but appear to suppress further star formation in their host galaxies through a gentler feedback process. The third study is a comparison of colour-excitation (CEx) and mass-excitation (MEx) classification techniques designed to identify Type 2 AGN out to z ~ 0.8. The CEx technique is found to identify obscured AGN with a high degree of accuracy, with X-ray stacking revealing many as yet X-ray undetected sources. The MEx technique is adept at identifying X-ray detected AGN but is less accurate at isolating obscured sources.

description: By analyzing SU(3)xU(1) invariant stationary point, studied earlier by Nicolai and Warner, of gauged N=8 supergravity, we find that the deformation of S^7 gives rise to nontrivial renormalization group flow in a three-dimensional boundary super conformal field theory from N=8, SO(8) invariant UV fixed point to N=2, SU(3)xU(1) invariant IR fixed point. By explicitly constructing 28-beins u, v fields, that are an element of fundamental 56-dimensional representation of E_7, in terms of scalar and pseudo-scalar fields of gauged N=8 supergravity, we get A_1, A_2 tensors. Then we identify one of the eigenvalues of A_1 tensor with ``superpotential'' of de Wit-Nicolai scalar potential and discuss four-dimensional supergravity description of renormalization group flow, i.e. the BPS domain wall solutions which are equivalent to vanishing of variation of spin 1/2, 3/2 fields in the supersymmetry preserving bosonic background of gauged N=8 supergravity. A numerical analysis of the steepest descent equations interpolating two critical points is given.

Quaternion valued adaptive signal processing
Creators: name: Jahanchahi, Cyrus
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Recent developments in sensor technology, human centered computing and robotics have brought to light new classes of multidimensional data which are naturally represented as three- or four-dimensional vector-valued processes. Such signals are readily modeled as real vectors in R3 and R4, however, it has become apparent that there are advantages in processing such data in division algebras - the quaternion domain. The progress in the statistics of quaternion variable, particularly augmented statistics and widely linear modeling, has opened up a new front of research in vector sensor modeling, however, there are several key problems that need to be addressed in order to exploit the full power of quaternions in statistical signal processing. The principal problem lies in the lack of a mathematical framework, such as the CR-calculus in the complex domain, for the differentiation of non-holomorphic functions. Since most functions (including typical cost functions) in the quaternion domain are non-holomorphic, as defined by the Cauchy-Riemann-Fueter (CRF) condition, this presents a severe obstacle to solving optimisation problems and developing adaptive filtering algorithms in the quaternion domain. To this end, we develop the HR-calculus, an extension of the CR-calculus, allowing the differentiation of non-holomorphic functions. This is followed by the introduction of the I-gradient, enabling for generic extensions of complex valued algorithms to be derived. Using this unified framework we introduce the quaternion least mean square (QLMS), quaternion recursive least squares (QRLS), quaternion affine projection algorithm (QAPA) and quaternion Kalman filter. These estimators are made optimal for the processing of noncircular data, by proposing widely linear extensions of their standard versions. Convergence and steady state properties of these adaptive estimators are analysed and validated experimentally via simulations on both synthetic and real world signals.
Atom-surface interactions with Rydberg atoms: an application to hybrid systems
Creators: name: Ribeiro, Sofia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis focuses on theoretical quantum optics, with special emphasis on developing protocols in which engineered vacuum forces enable one to construct hybrid systems. In these systems, atoms are combined with solid-state devices in order to take advantage of their unique properties such as long coherence times of atoms and flexibility, tunability, scalability, and fast response offered by solid-state systems. Special attention is given to the study of atom-surface interactions with Rydberg atoms, where exact Fano-type diagonalization of the interaction Hamiltonian is obtained showing that, not only do Rydberg atoms suffer energy shifts, the presence of a surface leads to an alteration and admixture of the unperturbed eigenstates. Of particular interest are dispersion forces on graphene systems. We investigate whether and under which circumstances the Casimir-Polder potential between an atom and a graphene-substrate system is dominated by the interaction with graphene such that the effect of the substrate does not play an important role. We also explore the possibility to create a setup where dispersion forces could be use to bend a graphene sheet. Placing an atom close, at distances of a few hundred nanometers, to a free-standing graphene membrane we show that temporal changes in the atomic state change the Casimir-Polder interaction, thereby leading to the creation of a backaction force in the graphene sheet. Finally, we look at nonlinear atom--surface coupling processes with the aim of proposing a hybrid quantum circuit device in which individual field-excitations can be transferred between atoms and surface polaritons on demand. Deeper investigations of nonlinear processes reveal the existence of a sum rule for two-photon spontaneous decay rates that can be simply understood as a redistribution of photonic modes across the frequency spectrum where the total integrated number of modes is still conserved.

Logic-based machine learning using a bounded hypothesis space: the lattice structure, refinement operators and a genetic algorithm approach
Creators: name: Tamaddoni Nezhad, Alireza
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Rich representation inherited from computational logic makes logic-based machine learning a competent method for application domains involving relational background knowledge and structured data. There is however a trade-off between the expressive power of the representation and the computational costs. Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) systems employ different kind of biases and heuristics to cope with the complexity of the search, which otherwise is intractable. Searching the hypothesis space bounded below by a bottom clause is the basis of several state-of-the-art ILP systems (e.g. Progol and Aleph). However, the structure of the search space and the properties of the refinement operators for theses systems have not been previously characterised. The contributions of this thesis can be summarised as follows: (i) characterising the properties, structure and morphisms of bounded subsumption lattice (ii) analysis of bounded refinement operators and stochastic refinement and (iii) implementation and empirical evaluation of stochastic search algorithms and in particular a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach for bounded subsumption. In this thesis we introduce the concept of bounded subsumption and study the lattice and cover structure of bounded subsumption. We show the morphisms between the lattice of bounded subsumption, an atomic lattice and the lattice of partitions. We also show that ideal refinement operators exist for bounded subsumption and that, by contrast with general subsumption, efficient least and minimal generalisation operators can be designed for bounded subsumption. In this thesis we also show how refinement operators can be adapted for a stochastic search and give an analysis of refinement operators within the framework of stochastic refinement search. We also discuss genetic search for learning first-order clauses and describe a framework for genetic and stochastic refinement search for bounded subsumption. on. Finally, ILP algorithms and implementations which are based on this framework are described and evaluated.

description: The phase structure of the generalized Yang--Mills theories is studied, and it is shown that {\it almost} always, it is of the third order. As a specific example, it is shown that all of the models with the interaction $\sum_j (n_j-j+N)^{2k}$ exhibit third order phase transition. ($n_j$ is the length of the $j$-th row of the Yang tableau corresponding to U($N$).) The special cases where the transition is not of the third order are also considered and, as a specific example, it is shown that the model $\sum_j (n_j-j+N)^2+g\sum_j (n_j-j+N)^{4}$ exhibits a third order phase transition, except for $g=27π^2/256$, where the order of the transition is 5/2.

description: Change is inevitable. Our societal values and priorities are changing and so is the profession of range management. Does that mean that the changes are for the better or that we should apologize for our past stewardship of rangelands? Range management is a relatively young profession in the United States, having been initiated a little over a century ago. There was a tremendous advancement in the art and science of range management in the first 50 years of the profession. Range scientists, working in the field, developed ecological concepts, rangeland classification, monitoring methods, grazing systems and rangeland rehabilitation that in many cases are still the state of our knowledge. The conditions of our rangelands have also shown considerable improvement since the tum of the 20th century. New technology has made our jobs easier, but if it should lead to less time actually spent on the ground, it is not likely to result in better stewardship of our rangelands. There is still no better way to manage rangeland than from the back of a horse. After 100 years of advancement in the range management profession and stewardship of our rangelands, we have reached gridlock with political correctness, conflicting laws, frivolous lawsuits and analysis paralysis replacing on-the-ground management of our rangeland resources.
CORRELATION TECHNIQUE FOR DETECTING WATER LEAKAGE IN UNDERGROUND PIPELINE

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: Water leak is a common problem that frequently results in water waste, damages, and hazards to community wellbeing. Because of the possible risks to community comfort, economic cost, environmental injury, labor, energy, unwanted underground water pipeline leakages has established more thought universal. Several researchers have proposed dynamic leak controller methods to locate, and pinpoint leaks. However, those proposed leak detection tools and methods mainly depend on one sensor to notice and pinpoint leakages, hence the leak is not well known till the water has climbed overhead the external surface. In particular, Acoustic sensors are mainly used to trace leaks in distribution water pipes. These contain noise loggers, listening devices, and leakage noise correlators. Because of the number of noise loggers needed at the specific test point and less sensing capabilities, they are not financially feasible and have poor leakage discovery. In addition, the efficiency of listening devices such as ground microphones for analytic leaks depends mainly on the skill of the operator so that such method is also inefficient and time consuming. The other device called Leak noise correlator performs better than Noise loggers and listening devices due to its use of correlation techniques. However, it is moveable so it needs labour and under noisy environment and erratic pressure on the pipelines, this scheme poses some accuracy problem. To increase the performance of water leak detection, this research work has proposed correlation technique for Acoustic and Acceleration based Water Leakage detection and pinpointing System. Acceleration and Acoustic signals are correlated so that the effect of both vibration and sound signal can be captured to identifying and pinpointing the leakage. As a result, our proposed correlation technique was an able to detecting and pinpointing the effect of both sound and vibration leak signals in underground water pipeline. Thus, 95% of water leak in underground distribution pipelines can be detected and located significantly.

description: A series of bipyridinium guests have been synthesised, and their inclusion complexes with acyclic CB[n]-type receptor have been investigated by NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Novel [3]pseudorotaxane was formed by C-H … O, π-π and ion–dipole interactions. The impact of their complexation on the equilibrium between monomer and dimer of bipyridinium cation radicals has also been studied by UV-Vis-NIR and EPR spectroscopy. Upon reduction, the bipyridinium units linked by flexible pentylene chain preferred the formation of the dimer in the presence of acyclic CB[n]-type receptor, whereas those connected by rigid xylene bridge were suppressed as monomeric form due to the steric effect.
Self-organising resource allocation in open systems : theory and experiments
Creators: name: Schaumeier, Julia Gertrud
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Open, embedded multi-agent systems have applications in sensor and opportunistic networks, and in cloud and grid computing. Features of such systems include: no centralised control, competition for resources between autonomous agents, (un)intentional errors, and a speed and complexity of decisions beyond human capabilities. Moreover, there is a requirement to optimise performance with respect to multiple, possibly conflicting, criteria, for example longevity, occupancy and fairness. This thesis addresses the problem of engineering self-organised resource-allocation management schemes for open, embedded systems. Based on the theory of institutions for collective action as defined by political economist Elinor Ostrom, we define a formal model for self-organised resource-allocation, using the computational framework of dynamic norm-governed multi-agent systems. Our model of an electronic institution encapsulates a first-order logic axiomatisation of the principles for enduring institutions. An experimental platform for an abstract common-pool resource management situation has been developed, and the experiments show the importance of all principles in order to achieve longevity, appropriate behaviour and the right balance of membership. The results furthermore suggest that the mechanisms to design institutional rules should be made available to the system components themselves. In order to successfully self-organise, the system has to be aware of its internal state and externalities. To represent and reason about awareness, some aspects from the field of organisational justice have been formalised in the same framework. Agents will not only follow a collectively decided allocation procedure but will execute the allocation according to their own notion of fairness, and also use this notion to judge the perceived behaviour of others. Further experiments show that the ability for introspection and reflection on the perceived environment leads to an improved management profile and further enhances the system’s performance. Adaptive institutions are a key factor in dealing with resource distribution. Self-aware agents using electronic institutions in socio-technical systems could be a significant innovation in reducing the current lag between institutional and environmental change, and make an important contribution to the sustainability agenda.

description: The deliverable D6.1 of the LIFT project explores what types of discourses are used in six European Union (EU) member states’ Rural Development Programs (RDP) and other agricultural policy documents and how they incorporate ecological approaches across three Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) periods. This multiple case study highlights similarities and differences in the dominant discourses as emerging from national policy documents in the following selected EU member states: France, Germany (Bavaria), Hungary, Poland, Romania and Sweden. It also demonstrates how discourse analysis can be used to gain understanding about the dominant discourses expressed in these documents in relation to how ecological approaches are defined, the policy rationale for encouraging ecological approaches and the expected consequences of doing so. Conceptually, we focused on two types of discourses identified from the literature: 1) the three CAP discourses: i) neomercantilism; ii) neoliberalism and iii) multifunctionality, and 2) the five socio-political discourses of Rural Development (RD): iv) agri-ruralist, v) hedonist, vi) utilitarian, vii) nature conservation and viii) community sustainability. These types of discourses were together integrated in a model, where each policy discourse depicts agriculture as accomplishing a specific function. The theoretical framework is grounded within a political economy perspective. This means that policy develops because of confrontation between different concerned agents with different interest, pushing for different objectives. The state acts as an intermediary between these agents and aims at ensuring consensus and maintenance of agreement. Policy documents are therefore often the result of competing discourses and contradicting policy objectives. Across EU member states, the results show that ecological approaches are mainly depicted with the multifunctionality discourse with two dominating sub-discourses of nature conservation and agri-ruralism. Nevertheless, we observe an increase in the use of the neomercantilist discourse in the last CAP period. This parallels what the previous literature finds in Commissioners’ speeches: a reappearance of the traditional neomercantilist discourse in the CAP agenda 2014-2020. Farming systems (with farming practices) related to agroecology, biodiversity-based and organic farming are among the most commonly mentioned farming systems.

Wireless communication in process monitoring and control
Creators: name: Ikram, Waqas

description: Recent development in wireless communication technology offer new opportunities for wireless connectivity of field devices in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing and water distribution. Wireless communications can assist these industries to improve plant knowledge by acquiring additional measurements from processes and equipment when wired communication would be infeasible. Requirements for a field communication network in the process industry include real-time support for mixed traffic, robustness, availability, security, reliability and scalability in a harsh industrial environment. Furthermore, to build such a network on license-exempt band raises concerns relating to its safety, security, performance and governance. Three specific issues have been addressed in this thesis. The first issue investigated is time synchronization which is necessary to ensure data integrity and determinism in network operations. The second investigation is the study of the performance of a closed-loop control application running over a resource-constrained wireless network. The need to ensure co-existence with the other wireless networks operating over the same radio band while offering predictability and reliability has added a new concern to the use of wireless technology in networked control systems. The third issue is to ensure longevity of wireless field nodes operated on standalone batteries which requires a mechanism to minimize energy consumption. This topic was addressed in an investigation into methods for transmission power control. The research presented in this thesis has discovered new ways to solve these problems. It has characterized their performance and implemented them in several practical demonstrations, including one field deployment. The thesis also provides an insight into the opportunities which wireless technology offers, the challenges which it encompasses, and gives a review of key emerging wireless networking technologies relevant to process automation. Finally, it offers an opinion about the future directions of wireless communications in the process industries.
