description: A floating structure of a bioplateau has been developed for the purification of water bodies from the toxic substances, the biotic component of which is terrestrial plants. Chemically inert floating materials were used as a substrate for the construction of the bioplateau: perlite, expanded clay, granular foam, vermiculite, cork. Substrate testing has shown that granular expanded polystyrene is the most optimal for the usage. The study of different options for seed germination in the design of the bioplateau has shown that its placement on the top of the substrate is the best option. The usage of perlite in combination with granular foam had created an additional capillary effect, due to which the seeds germinated at a faster rate. To optimize the hydrophytic structure a grid was used, which made it possible to increase the overall density of the bioplateau. An algorithm for creating a "rolled" plant that is suitable for transportation and placement in the surface water bodies that require purification from toxic substances has been developed.

Functional control of nanophotonic complex lasers
Creators: name: Ng, Wai Kit
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: This thesis focuses on the control of complex laser properties to achieve different functionalities, from emission tuning to photonic computing. We first demonstrate the dynamic lasing behaviours of self-assembly colloidal random lasers by making use of the physical control of active matter. The structural flexibility introduced in the assemblies allows for novel functionalities, such as reconfigurable and cooperative actions between active lasers. Then, we control the emission from static, on-chip semiconductor lasers via different gain modulation methods, including a machine learning approach. We also harness machine learning as a spectroscopy tool to visualise the gain profiles of complex lasing modes. Finally, we extend the on-chip laser functionalities to neuromorphic computing by drawing upon the design and modelling benefits of semiconductor network lasers. A photonic nonlinear processor with record-breaking levels of accuracy is achieved by leveraging the extremely high nonlinearity of indium phosphide network lasers for computing tasks, like nonlinear waveform transformations and machine vision challenges.

Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: The aim in this article is to measure the scale efficiency of the New Zealand dairy industry and to examine the relationship between farm size and technical efficiency. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is applied to a sample of 264 dairy farms. The results suggest that 19 per cent of these farms are operating at optimal scale, 28 per cent at above optimal scale, and 53 per cent at below optimal scale. On average, the optimal size for New Zealand dairy farms is estimated at 83 hectares with a herd of 260 animals. Average technical efficiency is estimated at 89 per cent.

Are resource-abundant economies disadvantaged?
Creators: name: Anderson, Kym
name: Anderson, Kym
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1998
Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: Economies well endowed with natural resources relative to other factors of production have grown slower than other economies over the long term. In reviewing possible explanations for this, the article finds unconvincing such common suggestions as declining terms of trade and rising restrictions to primary product markets abroad. It suggests the most likely reason is these countries’ own distortionary policy regimes. Recent reforms in some resource‐rich economies are already yielding growth dividends. The article also examines the impact of the greening of world preferences and politics on the prospects for resource‐abundant economics.
MOCCA SURVEY Database I: Binary Black Hole Mergers from Globular Clusters with Intermediate Mass Black Holes

description: The dynamical formation of black hole binaries in globular clusters that merge due to gravitational waves occurs more frequently in higher stellar density. Meanwhile, the probability to form intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) also increases with the density. To explore the impact of the formation and growth of IMBHs on the population of stellar mass black hole binaries from globular clusters, we analyze the existing large survey of Monte-Carlo globular cluster simulation data (MOCCA SURVEY Database I). We show that the number of binary black hole mergers agrees with the prediction based on clusters' initial properties when the IMBH mass is not massive enough or the IMBH seed forms at a later time. However, binary black hole formation and subsequent merger events are significantly reduced compared to the prediction when the present-day IMBH mass is more massive than $\sim10^4 \rm M_{\odot}$ or the present-day IMBH mass exceeds about 1 per cent of cluster's initial total mass. By examining the maximum black hole mass in the system at the moment of black hole binary escaping, we find that $\sim$ 90 per cent of the merging binary black holes escape before the formation and growth of the IMBH. Furthermore, large fraction of stellar mass black holes are merged into the IMBH or escape as single black holes from globular clusters in cases of massive IMBHs, which can lead to the significant under-population of binary black holes merging with gravitational waves by a factor of 2 depending on the clusters' initial distributions.

Seasonal variability and a farmer's supply response to protein premiums and discounts
Creators: name: Fraser, Rob W.
name: Fraser, Rob W.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1998
Subjects: Farm Management

description: This article extends the analysis of the impact of a system of protein premiums and discounts to that on a farmer’s planned production. Despite an unambiguously negative impact on expected profits of equally likely premiums and discounts, supply response to the introduction of such a system is shown to depend on the level of seasonal variability faced by the farmer. In particular, farmers in regions which are more seasonally unreliable are likely to feature a negative supply response, whereas those in regions which are more seasonally reliable are likely to feature a positive supply response. Consequently, it is suggested that, overall, protein payments for wheat may have encouraged a shift of wheat‐growing activity away from more seasonally unreliable areas.

description: We have studied quasiparticle tunneling into atomically flat a-axis films of YBa2Cu3O7-d and DyBa2Cu3O7-d through epitaxial CaTiO3 barriers. The junction heterostructures were grown by oxide molecular beam epitaxy and were carefully optimized using in-situ monitoring techniques, resulting in unprecedented crystalline perfection of the superconductor/insulator interface. Below Tc, the tunneling conductance shows the evolution of a large unexpected asymmetrical feature near zero bias. This is evidence that superconducting YBCO crystals, atomically truncated along the lobe direction with a titanate layer, have intrinsically broken particle-hole symmetry over macroscopically large areas.

Neutrino Mass Models and Leptogenesis
Creators: name: King, S. F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this talk we show how a natural neutrino mass hierarchy can follow from the type I see-saw mechanism, and a natural neutrino mass degeneracy from the type II see-saw mechanism, where the bi-large mixing angles can arise from either the neutrino or charged lepton sector. We summarize the phenomenological implications of such natural models, and discuss the model building applications of the approach, focussing on the $SU(3)\times SO(10)$ model. We also show that in such type II models the leptogenesis asymmetry parameter becomes proportional to the neutrino mass scale, in sharp contrast to the type I case, which leads to an upper bound on the neutrino mass scale, allowing lighter right-handed neutrinos and hence making leptogenesis more consistent with the gravitino constraints in supersymmetric models.

description: Some results of investigation of environmental gamma radiation (Γ) distribution in western Georgia are presented. Measurement of Γ was made on ~ 20 cm above the ground surface at 228 different points by using portable gamma survey meter. The terrain height (H) varied from 1 to 1928 m above sea level. A map of the distribution of the values of Γin the study area is presented. The statistical characteristics of the values of Г and the peculiarities of their distribution on the territory of western Georgia have been studied. In particular, the following results were obtained. Mean value of Г is 87nSv/h, range of change: 40-194 nSv/h.The repeatability of the values gamma radiation has a unimodal form with the right asymmetry with a max of 20.6% at the value Г = 87 nSv/h.There is an increase in the values of Г with the terrain height.Wherein coefficient of linear correlation of individual values of Г with the H is 0.26.Connection of the height-averaged values of Г on the H has the form of a power function: Г = 53.608·H0.0927

description: Assessments of the economic, environmental and social consequences of mining have usually produced an estimate of the commercial benefits that mining in the area would generate, with environmental costs being examined in physical terms only. A theoretical framework for calculating the threshold environmental value of an area (the minimum size of the environmental cost of mining required to make conservation the socially optimal choice) is developed, where both the potential mining benefits and the rate of biological regrowth following mine rehabilitation are known. Including the rate of biological regrowth allows for the calculation of a more meaningful figure, as the benefits generated by rehabilitation are explicitly considered.

description: We confirmed the binary nature of the Be star 7~Vul, derived a~more accurate spectroscopic orbit with an orbital period of (69.4212+/-0.0034) d, and improved the knowledge of the basic physical elements of the system. Analyzing available photometry and the strength of the \ha emission, we also document the long-term spectral variations of the Be primary. In addition, we confirmed rapid light changes with a~period of 0.5592 d, which is comparable to the expected rotational period of the Be primary, but note that its amplitude and possibly its period vary with time. We were able to disentangle only the He I 6678 A line of the secondary, which could support our tentative conclusion that the secondary appears to be a hot subdwarf. A search for this object in high-dispersion far-UV spectra could provide confirmation. Probable masses of the binary components are ($6\pm1$)~Mnom \ and ($0.6\pm0.1$)~Mnom. If the presence of a hot subdwarf is firmly confirmed, 7 Vul might be identified as a rare object with a B4-B5 primary; all Be + hot subdwarf systems found so far contain B0-B3 primaries.

Exploring mechanisms of intestinal microbiota transplantation on prevention of invasive disease in patients with intestinal colonisation of multidrug-resistant organisms
Creators: name: Ghani, Rohma
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: Background The intestinal microbiome has an important function in the defence against infectious diseases. Intestinal colonisation with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) is a risk factor for invasive disease which leads to higher morbidity than drug-sensitive infections. Intestinal Microbiota Transplantation (IMT) is a modality to restore the gut microbiome. We utilised IMT in MDRO colonised patients and observed both clinical outcomes and effect on microbiota diversity, gene expression, metabolites expression and markers of gut barrier function. Methods A retrospective study was performed to identify at risk groups and a literature review was performed to refine the IMT process for MDRO colonised patients. IMT was performed on patients with risk factors for invasive disease who had known intestinal MDRO colonisation and clinical outcomes were assessed 6 months pre- and post-IMT. Metataxonomic profiles were performed on these patient stool samples. Additional stool from donor, pre-and post-IMT samples underwent metagenomic and metabonomic testing. Results Renal transplant and pre-hematopoietic cell transplant patients were identified as the highest risk of developing invasive MDRO disease with a worse outcome profile. Guidelines for the use of IMT for MDRO colonised patients were constructed with careful consideration of administration and donor stool preparation. Post-IMT patients had fever bloodstream infections, shorter hospital admissions and reduced antibiotic usage. IMT increased intestinal microbiota alpha diversity and reduced the burden of Enterococci but not Gram-negative pathobionts. Blautia producta and Coprococcus catus, two commensal bacteria, increased post-IMT. The short-chain fatty acid, valerate was higher in concentration in stool in patients who did not develop invasive infection post-IMT. Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-8, proinflammatory cytokines associated with gut barrier permeability both reduced post-IMT. Conclusion The microbiome may play a role in protection against infection, and manipulation of the composition may be a key facet of preventing infection in at risk groups.

description: Young people in Australia explore intimacy through digital environments. However, there is limited understanding of how young people under 15 and young men in particular, experience intimacy. Queer theory framed research where 10 participants aged 11-14 recorded their lived experiences of intimacy using creative filmmaking. Data from 13 short films identified the significance of locations, behavioural practices and emotions in the formation of intimate experiences. Findings highlight the complexity of participants’ intimate experiences and use of digital platforms to explore emotions not experienced “in person”. The study challenges normative notions of the emotionally underdeveloped male and the innocent child.

description: Governments everywhere are trimming their support for agricultural R&D, giving greater scrutiny to the support that they do provide, and reforming the public agencies that fund, oversee, and carry out the research. This represents a break from previous patterns, which had consisted of expansion in the public funds for agricultural R&D. Private‐sector spending on agricultural research has slowed along with the growth of public spending in recent years, but the balance continues to shift towards the private sector. This article presents a quantitative review of these funding trends and the considerable institutional changes that have accompanied them. We discuss new data for 22 OECD countries, providing institutional details for five of these countries, and conclude with an assessment of policy developments.

description: A new lattice Boltzmann model for multicomponent ideal gas mixtures is presented. The model development consists of two parts. First, a new kinetic model for Stefan- Maxwell diffusion amongst the species is proposed and realized as a lattice Boltzmann equation on the standard discrete velocity set. Second, a compressible lattice Boltzmann model for the momentum and energy of the mixture is established. Both parts are consistently coupled through mixture composition, momentum, pressure, energy and enthalpy whereby a passive scalar advection-diffusion coupling is obviated, unlike in previous approaches. The proposed model is realized on the standard three-dimensional lattices and is validated with a set of benchmarks highlighting various physical aspects of compressible mixtures. Stefan-Maxwell diffusion is tested against experiment and theory of uphill diffusion of argon and methane in a ternary mixture with hydrogen. The speed of sound is measured in various binary and ternary compositions. We further validate the Stefan-Maxwell diffusion coupling with hydrodynamics by simulating diffusion in opposed jets and the three-dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of shear layers in a two-component mixture. Apart from the multicomponent compressible mixture, the proposed lattice Boltzmann model also provides an extension of the lattice Boltzmann equation to the compressible flow regime on the standard three-dimensional lattice.

Genetic variation and ecological differentiation between two southern Utah endemics : U.S. federally threatened Townsendia aprica and a closely related congener, T. jonesii var. lutea (Asteraceae: Astereae)
Creators: name: Jennings, Linda M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Townsendia aprica Welsh & Reveal (Asteraceae) is one of 17 rare plants in Utah receiving protection under the U.S. Federal Endangered Species Act. Townsendia aprica (last chance Townsendia) is an herbaceous perennial, narrow endemic, occurring along the Colorado Plateau in southeastern Utah. Recent discoveries have increased its known range from roughly 301 square kilometers at the time it was first listed to 4186 square kilometers. Many of these populations comprise fewer than 100 individuals. It was presumed that small population sizes together with geographical isolation would lead to low levels of genetic variation and inbreeding within the different populations, as a result of genetic drift and restricted gene dispersal. With the use of enzyme electrophoresis, nine informative loci were resolved to gain insight into the level and pattern of genetic variation within T. apnea's range. These patterns were compared with those of another narrow endemic that is a close congener, Townsendia jonesii var. lutea. Analysis of inter- and intra-taxon genetic distances for T. aprica and T. jonesii var. lutea provides important insights into the consequences of rarity, as well as into the genetic and ecological distinctness of the two narrowly endemic taxa. The two taxa have very similar, relatively high values estimated for genetic variation parameters based on isozyme analysis of nine loci (%P > 70, A > 2.0, and H e > 0.30), with much of the genetic variation being found within populations (F[sub ST] = 0.060 for T. jonesii var. lutea and F[sub ST] = 0.100 for T. aprica). No significant inbreeding found was in most populations of either taxon. Forty percent of the variation in genetic distance between populations of T. jonesii var. lutea could be explained by geographical distance, where as only about 10% of genetic variation in T. aprica's could be explained by physical distance. Bottlenecks were detected in more than half of each taxon's populations. The results also reveal that populations of each taxon are more similar to one another (F[sub PT] = 0.14), than to populations of the other taxon (F[sub ST] = 0.21). Significant differences were found in characteristics of the soils on which the two taxa occur, though so far, all measurable morphological characters are overlapping in these two taxa.

New aspects of the BMN correspondence beyond the planar limit

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Motivated by recent disagreements in the context of AdS/CFT, we study the non-planar sector of the BMN correspondence. In particular, we reconsider the energy shift of states with two stringy excitations in light-cone string field theory and explicitly determine its complete perturbative contribution from the impurity-conserving channel. Surprisingly, our result neither agrees with earlier leading order computations, nor reproduces the gauge theory prediction. More than that, it features half-integer powers of the effective gauge coupling $λ'$ representing a qualitative difference to gauge theory. Based on supersymmetry we argue that the above truncation is not suited for conclusive tests of the BMN duality.

description: Synthetic Biology has for a long time had the ambition of controlling biological behaviour, through the use of engineering principles. One of the most exciting realms of synthetic biology in this regard, is the ability to control the production of biomaterials. These materials can be produced by, and incorporate living organisms. Applications of biomaterials have been various, from wearable responsive biosensors for heavy metals, to biodegradeable plastics, to methods for the selective uptake and delivery of drugs. Within the area of biomaterial production, another important sector has been the ability to form the biomaterial in any shape desired, through technologies such as 3D printing. 3D bioprinting, as this discipline has been called, uses concepts from conventional 3D printing, such as extrusion. However, these techniques are limited in their geometric possibilities. More interestingly, light techniques such as stereolithography have been used for mammalian cell bioprinting, but their reliance on toxic photoinitiators has made them unsuitable for use with living cells. In this work, we devise a new method for 3D bioprinting , based on optogenetic control. We use optogenetically-equipped E. coli cells embedded in a solid matrix, and activate their gene expression in a localised manner. In this work, we express a fluorophore conjugate protein in 3 dimensions, as well as a bioplastic, and gradient expression of a digestive enzyme. This technique has the advantages of allowing full three-dimensional control, without any geometric or toxicity constraints.

description: Given two nonempty subsets $A, B$ of a group $G$, they are said to form a co-minimal pair if $A \cdot B = G$, and $A' \cdot B \subsetneq G$ for any $\emptyset \neq A' \subsetneq A$ and $A\cdot B' \subsetneq G$ for any $\emptyset \neq B' \subsetneq B$. In this article, we show several new results on co-minimal pairs in the integers and the integral lattices. We prove that for any $d\geq 1$, the group $\mathbb{Z}^{2d}$ admits infinitely many automorphisms such that for each such automorphism $σ$, there exists a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}^{2d}$ such that $A$ and $σ(A)$ form a co-minimal pair. The existence and construction of co-minimal pairs in the integers with both the subsets $A$ and $B$ ($A\neq B$) of infinite cardinality was unknown. We show that such pairs exist and explicitly construct these pairs satisfying a number of algebraic properties.

description: We construct a natural map from the set [BG,BU(n)] into a set of characters of the Sylow p-subgroups of G and prove that this natural map is a surjection for all finite groups G of rank two. We show, furthermore, that this same natural map is in fact a bijection for two types of finite groups G: those with periodic cohomology and those of rank two with odd order.

description: China, the so-called 'enigma of the Orient', has challenged the Westernimagination for centuries. 'From the earliest traveller's tales, to reach Europe', theAustralian novelist and diplomat Nicholas Jose notes, 'to Voltaire and Coleridge,and on to the present day, China as strange, curious, awe-inspiring Cathay hasattracted writers as a realm for tall tales, fantasy and the revelation of profoundmysteries, a fabled zone of difference.'1 As China has emerged as a power to bereckoned with politically and economically, the Western world's interest in it hasincreased. In Australia, for instance, Asianists have come to the fore in intellectualcircles, and a 'new wave of interest and activity is occurring' . Books about orreferring to China have been published with increasing frequency. With theappearance of critically acclaimed novels such as Alex Miller's Miles Franklin awardwinner The Ancestor Game (1992) and Brian Castro's After China (1992), thejudgement that 'China has attracted writers, and turned people into writers, but hasnot helped to produce masterpieces', perhaps needs revising.

description: The energy-momentum relations for massive and massless particles are E = p^2/2m and E = pc respectively. According to Einstein, these two different expressions come from the same formula E = \sqrt{(cp)^2 + m^2 c^4}. Quarks and partons are believed to be the same particles, but they have quite different properties. Are they two different manifestations of the same covariant entity as in the case of Einstein's energy-momentum relation? The answer to this question is YES. It is possible to construct harmonic oscillator wave functions which can be Lorentz-boosted. They describe quarks bound together inside hadrons. When they are boosted to an infinite-momentum frame, these wave functions exhibit all the peculiar properties of Feynman's parton picture. This formalism leads to a parton distribution corresponding to the valence quarks, with a good agreement with the experimentally observed distribution.

Evaluation and development of reference materials to support mass spectrometry imaging of endogenous metabolites in tissue
Creators: name: Kyriazi, Melina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) provides spatial molecular distribution maps directly from clinical tissue samples, which can give informative results for cancer research. Implementing accurate and precise measurements in MSI is essential. Unfortunately, progress in MSI is often hindered by a lack of reproducible results. As with any other analytical technique, using reference standards and protocols is essential to ensure a robust method. This need is even higher when analysing cancerous tissues characterised by high heterogeneity and biological variability. This PhD thesis aims to develop and evaluate reference materials to support MALDI and DESI MSI analysis of cancerous tissues. Tissue homogenates have previously been used in other MSI studies as reference materials for quantitation purposes and interlaboratory comparisons. This thesis proves the existence of metabolic activity in tissue homogenates, which has not been considered so far in other studies. It proposes the usage of preserved tissue homogenates for the first time. Formalin-fixed and heat-treated tissue homogenates can preserve the metabolic profile in tissue and ensure good-quality sections when embedded. This thesis also proposes the usage of spotted human serum as a quality control standard for MSI. Human serum proved to have similar molecular coverage to cancerous tissue to support the analysis of low molecular weight metabolites and lipids. Human serum spots can precisely be sampled in volumes of a few nanoliters and lack the section-to-section batch effects and the section heterogeneity that characterises cancerous tissue sections. Moreover, instrument variability can be distinguished from the biological variability characterising cancerous tissue sections when analysed simultaneously with human serum spots. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that implementing spotted serum as a quality control reference standard and using preserved tissue homogenates is a step further towards achieving reproducible and accurate MSI measurements that are a real representation of the metabolic state of the tissue sample.

Stochastic simulations of conditional states of partially observed systems, quantum and classical

description: In a partially observed quantum or classical system the information that we cannot access results in our description of the system becoming mixed even if we have perfect initial knowledge. That is, if the system is quantum the conditional state will be given by a state matrix $ρ_r(t)$ and if classical the conditional state will be given by a probability distribution $P_r(x,t)$ where $r$ is the result of the measurement. Thus to determine the evolution of this conditional state under continuous-in-time monitoring requires an expensive numerical calculation. In this paper we demonstrating a numerical technique based on linear measurement theory that allows us to determine the conditional state using only pure states. That is, our technique reduces the problem size by a factor of $N$, the number of basis states for the system. Furthermore we show that our method can be applied to joint classical and quantum systems as arises in modeling realistic measurement.
