protein physical properties

description: Proteins are one of the most abundant biomacromolecules and play important roles in bioactivities within organisms, including key functions in DNA replication, immune system response, metabolic reactions and molecular transportation. Proteins fold into their unique compact three-dimensional structures to precisely perform their functions. Knowledge of proteins on their structures and interactions with other molecules or biomacromolecules is fundamental to understand the mechanism of many diseases. Thus, in this thesis, the focus is on studying the physical properties of proteins, and protein interactions using microfluidic techniques. Chapter 1 provides a brief introduction to protein stability and identification as well as their interactions. Then, conventional techniques for studying protein systems are reviewed. Moreover, the principles, designs and applications of microfluidic techniques are introduced. Chapter 2 demonstrates that a microfluidic diffusional sizing device can be employed to study protein interactions with small molecules by measuring the variation of hydrody- namic radius of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution as a function of pH. By simulating the behaviour of folded and unfolded BSA, the relative population of BSA in dif- ferent states can be calculated. In addition, the key residues that regulate the BSA unfolding process are predicted. Furthermore, I utilize a modified microfluidic diffusional sizing device to measure the hydrodynamic radius of Escherichia coli 70S ribosome and study its interactions with antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol. In Chapter 3, a microfluidic device for protein identification is designed to measure the physical parameters of proteins, including the fluorescence intensities of specific amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, lysine) and the hydrodynamic radius of proteins. Thus, proteins can be correctly identified in a single microfluidic device. The results have significant implications in development of effective and efficient techniques for precise protein identification in their native state. In Chapter 4, the interactions between a membrane protein (aquaporins) and a small regulator protein (calmodulin) are investigated by detecting the changes of their electrophoretic mobility and diffusivity in microfluidic devices. Then the effective charges of aquaporin0 and its complex with calmodulin are calculated. Finally, the selective binding between calmodulin and different types of aquaporins is investigated based on their relative binding affinities.

III-nitride

description: To achieve white and colour-tuneable lighting, the mixing of light from red-, green- and blue- wavelength LEDs is desired. At present, the efficiency of green-wavelength LEDs based on InGaN is only about half that of red phosphide and blue nitride LEDs. This is known as the ‘green gap’ problem. III-nitrides based on the zincblende crystal structure have the potential to bridge the ‘green gap’ due to the theoretically achievable absence of internal polarisation fields that plague the commonly used c-plane wurtzite crystal structure. In this thesis, metastable zincblende GaN grown by metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy is stabilised on 3C-SiC/Si substrates with a miscut, ranging from 0° to 4°. Crystalline zincblende GaN nucleates as elongated islands which coalesce with increasing GaN deposition. Annealing of nucleation layers reduces the substrate coverage, due to both material desorption and the ripening of islands. Incomplete substrate coverage of the nucleation layer results in a low zincblende phase purity and pits in the subsequent epilayer. For epilayer growth, a temperature of around 885 °C and a V/III-ratio of 38 produce zincblende GaN with a phase purity of more than 98 % and the lowest surface roughness in the range of parameters investigated. The surface morphology of elongated features found in both nucleation layers and epilayers is explained by the anisotropic diffusion of adatoms on the low-symmetry top monolayer of (001)-oriented zincblende GaN lattice. Defects, including stacking faults and dislocations, are found to relax the heteroepitaxial zincblende GaN film in both nucleation layers and epilayers. Miscut of the 3C-SiC/Si substrate, used to avoid the formation of antiphase domains, results in the preferential formation of the {111} stacking fault that is steeper with respect to the GaN/SiC interface. This reduces the efficiency of the annihilation between the oppositely inclined {111} stacking faults and thus limits the reduction in stacking fault density with epilayer thickness. Bunches of {111} stacking faults, with a range of spacings (up to around 10 nm) between stacking faults within a bunch, result in a broad photoluminescence emission peak with energy that extends above band gap of zincblende and wurtzite GaN. The understanding of the physics behind the formation of the surface morphology can aid future decisions on the growth process to produce desired surfaces, while the knowledge of the origin and annihilation of stacking faults is useful for the consideration of defect reduction techniques for LED structures.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered thousands of complex trait loci, many of which are associated with multiple phenotypes. The dedicated study of these pleiotropic effects is becoming increasingly common due to the availability of sample collections with high-dimensional phenotype data, such as the UK Biobank, and can yield important insights into the aetiology underlying complex disorders. In my PhD, I performed multi-trait analyses of medically relevant complex phenotypes to identify shared genetic factors. My first project involved a genome-wide overlap analysis of osteoarthritis (OA) and bone-mineral density (BMD), using summary statistics from two large-scale GWAS. OA and BMD are known to be inversely correlated, yet the genetics underlying this link remain poorly understood. I found robust evidence for association with OA at the SMAD3 locus, which is known to play a role in bone remodeling and cartilage maintenance. My second project aimed to elucidate the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in schizophrenia (SCZ) patients. I used GWAS summary statistics of SCZ and T2D from the PGC and DIAGRAM consortia, respectively, to perform polygenic risk score analyses in three patient groups (SCZ only, T2D only, comorbid SCZ and T2D) and population-based controls. I find that the comorbid patient group have a higher genetic risk for both T2D and SCZ compared to controls, supporting the hypothesis that the epidemiologic link between these disorders is at least in part due to genetic factors. In my third project, I leveraged the correlation structure of over 274 protein biomarkers and 57 quantitative traits to perform multivariate GWAS on correlated trait clusters in a Greek isolated population. This approach uncovered several novel cis-associations not identified in single-trait GWAS, and highlights the power advantage of multivariate analysis. An important consideration for future studies will be the interpretation and follow-up of cross-phenotype associations, and the translation of these insights into clinical use.

description: We investigate the phase diffusion of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in the combined potential of a magnetic trap and a one-dimensional optical lattice. We show that the phase diffusion of the condensate in the whole optical lattice is evident and can be measured from the interference pattern of expanding subcondensates after the optical lattice is switched off. The maximum density of the interference pattern decreases significantly due to the mixing of the phase diffusion appearing in different subcondensates. This suggests a way to detect experimentally the notable phase diffusion of BECs.

description: Multi-view learning improves the learning performance by utilizing multi-view data: data collected from multiple sources, or feature sets extracted from the same data source. This approach is suitable for primate brain state decoding using cortical neural signals. This is because the complementary components of simultaneously recorded neural signals, local field potentials (LFPs) and action potentials (spikes), can be treated as two views. In this paper, we extended broad learning system (BLS), a recently proposed wide neural network architecture, from single-view learning to multi-view learning, and validated its performance in decoding monkeys' oculomotor decision from medial frontal LFPs and spikes. We demonstrated that medial frontal LFPs and spikes in non-human primate do contain complementary information about the oculomotor decision, and that the proposed multi-view BLS is a more effective approach for decoding the oculomotor decision than several classical and state-of-the-art single-view and multi-view learning approaches.

description: My doctoral dissertation is an oral history of men who respectively became fathers, or experienced childhood and adolescence, in the generation after the Second World War. Histories of the family have tended to focus on women’s roles in the home; but recent work by historians of masculinity has sought to re-establish men’s places as attentive, even devotional fathers. Putting ‘sonhood’ on an equal footing with fatherhood, I assess the traction of such narratives for men and boys in post-war British families by examining how masculinity was reproduced generationally. Focusing on age and the life-course, my analysis cuts across boundaries of social class and regional background, drawing on a range of common emotional expressions, from love, pride and reverence to guilt, resentment and fear. I assess fathers and sons’ changing experiences of parenting, education, work and leisure, as well as society and culture more broadly, all of which, I argue, contribute to the way post-war filial relationships unfolded in families. My main conclusions are fourfold. First, I argue that men’s ongoing – and in many respects revivified – breadwinning obligations after 1945 combined with persistent cultural expectations to ensure that fathers’ attention towards their families remained partial and conditional. Second, even when at home, men were frequently inclined to spend their leisure time alone rather than in the company of their families. Third, that post-war fathers’ expectations and aspirations for their children tended to be more generalised and open-ended than in earlier generations. I argue that this change coincided with a cultural shift towards the valuing of individuality and self-fulfillment for the younger generation, which was negotiated with a variety of outcomes. Finally, I suggest that in so far as fathers and children were becoming closer in the post-war decades, they were becoming so chiefly over the course of familial and biological, rather than socio-cultural chronologies. Consequently, their intergenerational relationships were heavily influenced by particular interpersonal dynamics, the consideration of which leads to a wider picture of emotional ambiguity and ambivalence.

description: Increasing uses of forests, such as bioenergy and biodiversity protection, are challenging family forest owners’ knowledge acquisition and decision making in Finland and elsewhere. Forest owners are also becoming economically less dependent and spatially estranged from their forest properties. Simultaneously, publicly funded forestry guidance calls for improved efficiency. Advisory practices need new ways to reach forest owners and to encourage them for forestry decisions that are conformable to their forest use goals. A potential model to diversify and renew guidance are Communities of Practice (CoPs). In CoPs forest owners, possibly together with experts, gather around an interesting issue, share their experiences and learn from each other. Learning from peers who are or have been in similar situations could be a relevant supplement to expert-driven guidance. This study aims to find out if CoPs exist in family forestry in Finland. To be able to identify them we search for the basic elements of CoPs: domain, community and practice. Additionally, we study the possibilities to strengthen or even create new CoPs. The data were gathered via seven focus group interviews, reaching 44 interviewees. Four groups consisted of local forestry professionals and one group consisted of national forestry extension developers. In addition, there were two different forest owner groups. Discussions in the groups considered communication between forest owners and professionals as well as the communication between owners. In addition, contexts, benefits and drawbacks of learning from the experiences of ‘similar others’ were discussed. Discussions were taped and transcribed. Qualitative content analysis will reveal the existing CoP-type features within private forestry in Finland. Particularly, which issues are dealt with and how, what kind of information is exchanged and who are involved? Furthermore, the promising elements and barriers of CoPs, as well as the possible role of forestry professionals in supporting CoPs, will be discussed.

description: AbstractBackground: Although the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire is widely used in theUK, no British English version is available. The aim of this study was to linguistically validate the DASH into BritishEnglish and then test the reliability and validity of the British English DASH, (including the Work and Sport/MusicDASH) and QuickDASH, in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods: The DASH was forward translated, reviewed by an expert panel and cognitive debriefing interviewsundertaken with 31 people with RA. Content validity was evaluated using the ICF Core Set for RA. Participants withRA (n = 340) then completed the DASH, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Short Form Health Survey v2(SF36v2) and Measure of Activity Performance of the Hand (MAPHAND). We examined internal consistency andconcurrent validity for the DASH, Work and Sport/Music DASH modules and QuickDASH. Participants repeated theDASH to assess test-retest reliability.Results: Minor wording changes were made as required. The DASH addresses a quarter of Body Function and halfof Activities and Participation codes in the ICF RA Core Set. Internal consistency for DASH scales were consistentwith individual use (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.94–0.98). Concurrent validity was strong with the HAQ (rs = 0.69–0.91),SF36v2 Physical Function (rs = − 0.71 - − 0.85), Bodily Pain (rs = − 0.71 - − 0.74) scales and MAPHAND (rs = 0.71–0.93).Test-retest reliability was good (rs = 0.74–0.95).Conclusions: British English versions of the DASH, QuickDASH and Work and Sport/Music modules are nowavailable to evaluate upper limb disabilities in the UK. The DASH, QuickDASH, Work and Sport/Music modules arereliable and valid to use in clinical practice and research with British people with RA.Keywords: Patient reported outcomes, Upper limb assessment, Rehabilitation, Rheumatoid arthritis

description: Among a number of gamma-ray bursts whose host galaxies are known, GRB971214 stands out for its high redshift(z=3.25) and the Lya emission line having a P-Cygni type profile. which is interpreted to be a direct consequence of the expanding supershell. From a simple Voigt-fitting analysis, we estimate the expansion velocity of the supershell and the neutral column density. The theory on the evolution of supernova remnants is used to propose that the supershell is at the adiabatic phase, with its radius $R=10E^{1/2}_{53}$pc, its age t=4.7\times 10^3 E^{1/2}_{53} yrs, and the density of the ambient medium $n_1=5.4E^{-1/2}_{53} cm^{-3}$, where $E_{53}=E/10^{53}$ ergs. I estimate the kinetic energy of the supershell to be $E_k=7.3\times 10^{52} E_{53}$ ergs. I provide an observational evidence that the gamma-ray burst can occur in a giant H II region whose environment is similar to that in star-forming galaxies.

description: Abstract Introduction: This qualitative study, nested in a pilot feasibility randomised controlled trial, explored the views of working peoplewith inflammatory arthritis on the impact of a work rehabilitation programme received. Method: Thirty-two participants, drawn from the 55 participants in the associated randomised controlled trial, were recruited fromsecondary care in the United Kingdom. Semi-structured telephone and face-to-face interviews were conducted at six (n.32) andnine months follow-up (n.31). Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed using a constant comparativeapproach, under the theoretical framework of critical realism. Findings: Three overarching themes emerged: (1) intervention group participants valued the work rehabilitation programmereceived, and highlighted the benefits of occupational therapy; (2) control group participants reported no benefits in relation to thewritten work advice pack, and lacked future aspirations to stay employed; (3) the majority of participants reported not reading thewritten work advice pack provided, which was the only work advice received by the control group. Conclusion: Working people with inflammatory arthritis highly valued the practical support received from the therapists, andemphasised the value of the therapeutic relationship in the rehabilitation process. A tailor-made work rehabilitation programme,which incorporates cognitive-behavioural strategies into patient education, may help to reduce work instability in people withinflammatory arthritis, and increase their perceived self-efficacy.

description: Demyelination occurs in several CNS diseases. If demyelinated axons are not remyelinated they become vulnerable to irreversible degeneration. There is, therefore, a clinical need for therapies that enhance remyelination. This can be achieved by 1) pharmacologically targeting endogenous oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) responsible for remyelination or 2) transplantation of myelinogenic cells (including OPCs). The first approach is appropriate for diseases with no defect in the myelinating cells, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), while the second approach is suitable for genetic disorders of myelination such as Pelizaeus Merzbacher disease (PMD). Translation into the clinic has or will shortly begin for both approaches. However, there are no current outcome measures providing direct evidence of OPCs differentiation to assess the efficacy of a remyelination therapy. This thesis presents data which it is hoped will form the foundation of a novel outcome measure for such therapies. It demonstrates that, by using a novel MRI gene reporter system; OATP, and controlling its expression under a Myelin Basic Protein promoter, OPCs can take up gadolinium based contrast, and be detected using T1 weighted MRI imaging in vitro and ex vivo. Using a constitutively active promoter, transplanted cells can be detected by an in vivo model of remyelination. It is hoped that this data will form the foundation for the development of an outcome measure for assessing the efficacy of new, pro-remyelination therapies, and provide a non- invasive, longitudinal, and translational imaging technique for use in drug discovery, or even personalised medicine.

description: The properties of a massive fermion field undergoing rigid rotation at finite temperature and chemical potential are discussed. The polarisation imbalance is taken into account by considering a helicity chemical potential, which is dual to the helicity charge operator. The advantage of the proposed approach is that, as opposed to the axial current, the helicity charge current remains conserved at finite mass. A computation of thermal expectation values of the vector, helicity and axial charge currents, as well as of the fermion condensate and stress-energy tensor is provided. In all cases, analytic constitutive equations are derived for the non-equilibrium transport terms, as well as for the quantum corrections to the equilibrium terms (which are derived using an effective relativistic kinetic theory model for fermions with helicity imbalance) in the limit of small masses. In the context of the parameters which are relevant to relativistic heavy ion collisions, the expressions derived in the massless limit are shown to remain valid for masses up to the thermal energy, except for the axial charge conductivity in the azimuthal direction, which presents strong variations with the particle mass.

description: In the recent climate change conferences of UNFCCC new accounting rules have been suggested for forestry sector to provide incentives for forest management and emission mitigation actions. There has also been pressure to modify accounting rules to avoid giving credits for sequestration which would occur naturally. Country-specific reference levels for Annex I countries have been suggested to be used as baseline for carbon sequestration target of forest sector. Each country has proposed a reference level based on baseline harvest and growth of forest, accounting for the effect of policies implemented before 2009. A country will gain carbon credits if emissions from forest management are below the baseline reference level, while a country whose emissions exceed the baseline reference level will lose carbon credits. Gains and debits are limited with caps which are proportional of the national carbon emissions in the year 1990. With an economic model we study how the setting of reference levels will affect to the forest sector, harvesting volumes, carbon reservoirs in harvested wood products and price of wood. Also the effects of setting caps for gains and debits as a function of the carbon dioxide emission allowance (EUA) are studied. We also investigate analytically the proposed reference levels and study how to proceed into ‘more correct’ baseline reference levels.

Using recently developed methods to better approximate the amplification of large sources, we investigate in what way the constraints are affected by assumptions concerning the size of the optical continuum-emitting region of quasars in the currently favored (Omega_M=0.3, Omega_Lambda=0.7) cosmology.

description: We analyse type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds with background fluxes and D6-branes. Rewriting the F-term scalar potential as a bilinear in flux-axion polynomials yields a more efficient description of the Landscape of flux vacua, as they are invariant under the discrete shift symmetries of the 4d effective theory. In particular, expressing the extremisation conditions of the scalar potential in terms of such polynomials allows for a systematic search of vacua. We classify families of N=0 Minkowski, N=1 AdS and N=0 AdS flux vacua, extending previous findings in the literature to the Calabi-Yau context. We compute the spectrum of flux-induced masses for some of them and show that they are perturbatively stable, and in particular find a branch of N=0 AdS vacua where tachyons are absent. Finally, we extend this Landscape to the open string sector by including mobile D6-branes and their fluxes.

description: This paper presents a system architecture to promote the development of smart transportation systems. Thanks to the use of distributed ledgers and related technologies, it is possible to create, store and share data generated by users through their sensors, while moving. In particular, IOTA and IPFS are used to store and certify data (and their related metadata) coming from sensors or by the users themselves. Ethereum is exploited as the smart contract platform that coordinates the data sharing and provisioning. The necessary privacy guarantees are provided by the usage of Zero Knowledge Proof. We show some results obtained from some use case scenarios that demonstrate how such technologies can be integrated to build novel smart services and to promote social good in user mobility.

description: Models for quantum absorption refrigerators serve as test beds for exploring concepts and developing methods in quantum thermodynamics. Here, we depart from the minimal, ideal design and consider a generic multilevel model for a quantum absorption refrigerator, which potentially suffers from lossy processes. Based on a full-counting statistics approach, we derive a formal cooling condition for the refrigerator, which can be feasibly evaluated analytically and numerically. We exemplify our approach on a three-level model for a quantum absorption refrigerator that suffers from different forms of non-ideality (heat leakage, competition between different cooling pathways), and examine the cooling current with different designs. This study assists in identifying the cooling window of imperfect thermal machines.

description: Survival in times of crisis is one of the factors that stand out in the strategic and business continuity objectives of companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the business landscape and will continue to do so in the future. Businesses devised different means of survival in line with the changing demands and economy; this has resulted in changes in delivery methods and operations. Financial forecasts of some companies for 2020 are being revised, following the devastating impact of the pandemic on the world economy, while other companies are working on different scenarios to justify their performance in the future. Some of these scenarios are defined as best-case, mid-case, and worst-case scenarios. Hypothetical extrapolations were used to support the building of scenarios and to test the relevance of scenario analysis in managing the COVID-19 impact on companies. Companies that understand these scenarios can articulate the opportunities, mitigate the challenges in performance, attain a higher likelihood of survival, and become better at navigating through the COVID-19 impact spectrum.

description: L’informatrice débute son récit avec les sensations ressenties à la suite de son accouchement. Elle précise avoir attendu trois jours avant de pouvoir allaiter son enfant. Elle donne également le rythme des tétées. La durée de l’allaitement pour chacun des enfants de l’informatrice est évoquée. L’informatrice explique que les enfants ne sont pas séparés de leur mère à la naissance si l’accouchement a lieu à la maison, contrairement à l'hôpital où les nouveau-nés sont séparés de leur mère. L'informatrice raconte qu’on donne à l’enfant du beurre frais ou du jus de datte lorsque la mère ne produit pas suffisamment de lait. Elle explique que le colostrum est de couleur jaune et arrive deux jours avant l’accouchement pour finir trois ou quatre jours après l’accouchement. L’informatrice le compare à du lait concentré, elle précise qu’elle n’en connaît pas le goût. Elle explique que la production du colostrum et du lait maternel est influencée par les aliments spécialement préparés et consommés par les mères pour favoriser la montée de lait (principalement la viande et les herbes). L’informatrice raconte que toutes les femmes produisent du colostrum et qu’il en va de même pour les animaux. L’informatrice ne connaît pas le discours de la religion au sujet de l’allaitement et du colostrum. Le cas des frères et sœurs de lait qui ont partagé le colostrum d’une mère par co-allaitement est évoqué. L’informatrice précise que pour que son lait soit suffisant pour nourrir ses jumeaux elle a consommé beaucoup de lentilles, de soupes et bu beaucoup de thé. Elle précise également qu'à la naissance d’un enfant, on le ligote pour lui donner du jus de datte. L'informatrice détaille la technique utilisée pour couper le cordon ombilical de l’enfant qui consiste à laisser l’espace de quatre doigts de la main entre le nombril et l’endroit où il faut nouer puis couper le cordon. L’enquêtrice demande ensuite si les mères qui allaitent peuvent dormir avec leur mari, autrement dit si elles peuvent reprendre les rapports sexuels durant la période d'allaitement. L’informatrice répond de manière affirmative et précise que pour elle le lait appartient au mari. À la fin de l’enquête est évoquée la mortalité infantile des enfants de moins de 1 an. L’enquête se termine sur le colostrum des animaux (vache, brebis, chèvre) qui est consommé par l’informatrice et sa famille. Elle précise qu’ils contrôlent la quantité de colostrum dont se nourrit le petit de l’animal avant d’en extraire pour la consommation.

Improving quantum interferometry by using entanglement (to take a decision you'd better use entanglement)

description: We address the use of entanglement to improve the precision of generalized quantum interferometry, i.e. of binary measurements aimed to determine whether or not a perturbation has been applied by a given device. For the most relevant operations in quantum optics, we evaluate the optimal detection strategy and the ultimate bounds to the minimum detectable perturbation. Our results indicate that entanglement-assisted strategies improve the discrimination in comparison with conventional schemes. A concrete setup to approach performances of the optimal strategies is also suggested.

description: The present report focuses in the monitoring data and their interpretation, covering the technical performance, structural integrity and environmental follow up. In all the cases the leaching properties have been assessed by producing laboratory specimens with the soil, WPFA, cement and lime picked up during the pilot execution, reproducing the same placing conditions (dosing, dry density and moisture content). Complete leaching test has been performed at 7, 28, 90, 180 and 360 curing days, showing the metal mobility evolution and the differences and similarities with the standard binders. These tests have shown that the WPFA blended samples remained as inert soils except for those parameters that surpassed the threshold limit in the original soil (chlorides in S-EST2 and Sulphates in S-EST3). Antimony slightly overpassed the limit for inert waste in all the cases (WPFA and cement treated soils) despite the fact that this element is not found in relevant amounts in the WPFA or cement.
