title: Screening of Human Serum/Plasma using Vibrational Spectroscopy for Early Disease Diagnostics and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
Creators: name: Parachalil, Drishya Rajan
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2019

description: Analysis of analytes present in the blood stream can potentially deliver crucial information on patient health and indicate the presence of numerous pathologies. Existing clinical techniques for this analysis can, however, be costly and time-consuming. The potential of Raman spectroscopic analysis of human plasma and/or serum for diagnostic purposes has been widely investigated and, increasingly, its feasibility for clinical translation has been explored. However, as the concentration of many analytes in plasma/serum is relatively low, to date such analysis has commonly been performed on air-dried drops deposited on substrates, leading to inhomogeneity and inconsistencies. This study explores the potential of Raman spectroscopy, coupled with fractionation and concentration techniques, as well as multivariate regression analysis, to quantitatively monitor diagnostically relevant changes in high and low molecular weight proteins as well as therapeutic drugs, in liquid plasma/serum. Having optimised the protocols for pure aqueous solutions and spiked serum samples, measurement protocols to detect the imbalances in plasma/serum analytes (fibrinogen, albumin, γ globulins, total protein content, glucose and urea), as an indicator of various diseases, and therapeutic monitoring of drugs (busulfan and methotrexate), using Raman spectroscopy were optimised in liquid serum, such that strategic clinical applications for early stage disease diagnostics and therapeutic drug monitoring can be evaluated. Furthermore, an adapted Extended Multiplicative Signal Correction algorithm was applied to raw spectra to remove background signal and spectral interferents. Using a validated partial least squares regression method, prediction models were built for the analytes, with accuracies which are comparable with those reported for the conventional methods, without any additional sample preparation steps. This methodology was extended to determine the Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ) for therapeutic drug monitoring in human serum, using the examples of Busulfan, a cell cycle non-specific alkylating antineoplastic agent, and, Methotrexate, a chemotherapeutic agent. This study demonstrates the options and alternatives that are available to make Raman spectroscopy suitable for the human bodily fluid analysis in the liquid form, leading to a better accuracy and repeatability and thus a better sensitivity.

description: Charge-transfer cold Yb$^+$ + Rb collision dynamics is investigated theoretically using high-level {\it ab initio} potential energy curves, dipole moment functions and nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements. Within the scalar-relativistic approximation, the radiative transitions from the entrance $A^1Σ^+$ to the ground $X^1Σ^+$ state are found to be the only efficient charge-transfer pathway. The spin-orbit coupling does not open other efficient pathways, but alters the potential energy curves and the transition dipole moment for the $A-X$ pair of states. The radiative, as well as the nonradiative, charge-transfer cross sections calculated within the $10^{-3}-10$ cm$^{-1}$ collision energy range exhibit all features of the Langevin ion-atom collision regime, including a rich structure associated with centrifugal barrier tunneling (orbiting) resonances. Theoretical rate coefficients for two Yb isotopes agree well with those measured by immersing Yb$^+$ ion in an ultracold Rb ensemble in a hybrid trap. Possible origins of discrepancy in the product distributions and relations to previously studied similar processes are discussed.

description: The non-equilibrium response of a quantum many-body system defines its fundamental transport properties and how initially localized quantum information spreads. However, for long-range-interacting quantum systems little is known. We address this issue by analyzing a local quantum quench in the long-range Ising model in a transverse field, where interactions decay as a variable power-law with distance $\propto r^{-α}$, $α>0$. Using complementary numerical and analytical techniques, we identify three dynamical regimes: short-range-like with an emerging light cone for $α>2$; weakly long-range for $1

description: We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence in distribution of a conditioned Galton-Watson tree to Kesten's tree. This yields elementary proofs of Kesten's result as well as other known results on local limit of conditioned Galton-Watson trees. We then apply this condition to get new results, in the critical and sub-critical cases, on the limit in distribution of a Galton-Watson tree conditioned on having a large number of individuals with out-degree in a given set.
Optimal energy scaling for a shear experiment in single-crystal plasticity with cross-hardening

description: Consideration is given to a non-convex variational model for a shear experiment in the framework of single-crystal linearised plasticity with infinite cross-hardening. The rectangular shear sample is clamped at each end, and is subjected to a prescribed horizontal or diagonal shear, modelled by an appropriate hard Dirichlet condition. We ask: how much energy is required to impose such a shear, and how does it depend on the aspect ratio? Assuming that just two slip systems are active, we show that there is a critical aspect ratio, above which the energy is strictly positive, and below which it is zero. Furthermore, in the respective regimes determined by the aspect ratio, we prove energy scaling bounds, expressed in terms of the amount of prescribed shear.

description: I calculate, at one loop in staggered chiral perturbation theory, the matrix elements of the complete set of five local operators that may contribute to B mixing both in the Standard Model and in beyond-the-Standard-Model theories. Lattice computations of these matrix elements by the Fermilab Lattice/MILC collaborations (and earlier by the HPQCD collaboration) convert a light staggered quark into a naive quark, and construct the relevant 4-quark operators as local products of two local bilinears, each involving the naive light quark and the heavy quark. This particular representation of the operators turns out to be important in the chiral calculation, and it results in the presence of "wrong-spin" operators, whose contributions however vanish in the continuum limit. If the matrix elements of all five operators are computed on the lattice, then no additional low energy constants are required to describe wrong-spin chiral effects.

description: Analysis of contributions from vector-like leptonic supermultiplets to the Higgs diphoton decay rate and to the Higgs boson mass is given. Corrections arising from the exchange of the new leptons and their super-partners, as well as their mirrors are computed analytically and numerically. We also study the correlation between the enhanced Higgs diphoton rate and the Higgs mass corrections. Specifically, we find two branches in the numerical analysis: on the lower branch the diphoton rate enhancement is flat while on the upper branch it has a strong correlation with the Higgs mass enhancement. It is seen that a factor of 1.4-1.8 enhancement of the Higgs diphoton rate on the upper branch can be achieved, and a 4-10 GeV positive correction to the Higgs mass can also be obtained simultaneously. The effect of this extra contribution to the Higgs mass is to release the constraint on weak scale supersymmetry, allowing its scale to be lower than in the theory without extra contributions. The vector-like supermultiplets also have collider implications which can be tested at the LHC and at the ILC.

description: The Runge-Gross [E. Runge, and E. K. U. Gross, Phys. Rev. Lett., 52, 997 (1984)] action functional of time-dependent density-functional theory leads to a well-known causality paradox, i.e., a perturbation of the electronic density in the future affects the response of the system in the present. This paradox is known to be caused by an inconsistent application of the Dirac-Frenkel variational principle. In view of the recent solutions to this problem, the action functional employed by Runge and Gross in their formulation of time-dependent density functional theory is analyzed in the context of the Keldysh contour technique. The time-dependent electronic density, as well as the concept of causality, are extended to the contour. We derive a variational equation that obeys causality and relates the exchange-correlation potential with its kernel, and the functional derivative of the exchange-correlation action functional with respect to the density. It is shown that the adiabatic local-density approximation is a consistent solution of this equation and that the time-dependent optimized potential method can also be derived from it. The formalism presented here can be used to find new approximations methods to the exchange-correlation potential and avoid the causality dilemma.

description: We study the ground-state properties of one-dimensional mixtures of bosonic and fermionic atoms resonantly coupled to fermionic Feshbach molecules. When the particle densities of fermionic atoms and Feshbach molecules differ, the system undergoes various depletion transitions between binary and ternary mixtures, as a function of the detuning parameter. However, when the particle densities of fermionic atoms and Feshbach molecules are identical, the molecular conversion and disassociation processes induce a gap in a sector of low-energy excitations, and the remaining system can be described by a two-component Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. Using a bosonization scheme, we derive the effective low-energy Hamiltonian for the system, which has a similar form as that of the two-chain problem of coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids. With the help of improved perturbative renormalization group analysis of the latter problem, we determine the ground-state phase diagram and find that it contains a phase dominated by composite superfluid or pairing correlations between the open and closed resonant channels.

description: The pion-mass dependence of the nucleon mass within the covariant SU(2) baryon chiral perturbation theory both without and with explicit Delta(1232) degrees of freedom up to order p^4 is investigated. By fitting to lattice QCD data in 2 and 2+1 flavors from several collaborations, for pion masses M_pi < 420 MeV, we obtain low energy constants of natural size and compatible with pion nucleon scattering data. Our results are consistent with the rather linear pion-mass dependence showed by lattice QCD. In the 2 flavor case we have also performed simultaneous fits to the nucleon mass and pion-nucleon sigma-term data. As a result of our analysis, which encompasses the study of finite volume corrections and discretization effects, we report a value for the pion-nucleon sigma-term of 41(5)(4) MeV in the 2 flavor case and 52(3)(8) MeV for 2+1 flavors, where the inclusion of the Delta(1232) resonance changes the results by around 9 MeV. In the 2 flavor case we are able to set independently the scale for lQCD data, given by a Sommer scale of r_0=0.493(23) fm.

description: There is an approximately 9% discrepancy, corresponding to 2.4sigma, between two independent constraints on the expansion rate of the universe: one indirectly arising from the cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillations, and one more directly obtained from local measurements of the relation between redshifts and distances to sources. We argue that by taking into account the local gravitational potential at the position of the observer this tension - strengthened by the recent Planck results - is partially relieved and the concordance of the standard model of cosmology increased. We estimate that measurements of the local Hubble constant are subject to a cosmic variance of about 2.4% (limiting the local sample to redshifts z>0.010) or 1.3% (limiting it to z>0.023), a more significant correction than that taken into account already. Nonetheless, we show that one would need a very rare fluctuation to fully explain the offset in the Hubble rates. If this tension is further strengthened, a cosmology beyond the standard model may prove necessary.

description: We describe Scalar-Pseudoscalar partner degeneration at the QCD chiral transition in terms of the dominant low-energy physical states for the light quark sector. First, we obtain within model-independent one-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) that the QCD pseudoscalar susceptibility is proportional to the quark condensate at low $T$. Next, we show that this chiral-restoring behaviour for $χ_P$ is compatible with recent lattice results for screening masses and gives rise to degeneration between the scalar and pseudoscalar susceptibilities ($χ_S$, $χ_P$) around the transition point, consistently with an O(4)-like current restoration pattern. This scenario is clearly confirmed by lattice data when we compare $χ_S(T)$ with the quark condensate, expected to scale as $χ_P(T)$. Finally, we show that saturating $χ_S$ with the $σ/f_0(500)$ broad resonance observed in pion scattering and including its finite temperature dependence, allows to describe the peak structure of $χ_S(T)$ in lattice data and the associated critical temperature. This is carried out within a unitarized ChPT scheme which generates the resonant state dynamically and is also consistent with partner degeneration.

description: Recently, the nonlocal van der Waals (vdW) density functionals [M. Dion, H. Rydberg, E. Schroeder, D. C. Langreth, and B. I. Lundqvist, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] have attracted considerable attention due to their good performance for systems where weak interactions are important. Since the physics of dispersion is included in these functionals, they are usually more accurate and show less erratic behavior than the semilocal and hybrid methods. In this work, several variants of the vdW functionals have been tested on rare-gas dimers (from He2 to Kr2) and solids (Ne, Ar, and Kr) and their accuracy compared to standard semilocal approximations supplemented or not by an atom-pairwise dispersion correction [S. Grimme, J. Antony, S. Ehrlich, and H. Krieg, J. Chem. Phys. 132, 154104 (2010)]. An analysis of the results in terms of energy decomposition is also provided.
With a little help …: On the role of guidance in the acquisition and utilisation of knowledge in the control of complex, dynamic systems

description: Many situations require people to acquire knowledge about, and learn how to control, complex dynamic systems of inter-connected variables. Numerous studies have found that most problem solvers are unable to acquire complete knowledge of the underlying structure of a system through an unguided exploration of the system variables; additional instruction or guidance is required. This paper examines whether providing structural information following an unguided exploration also improves control performance, and the extent to which any improvements are moderated by problem solvers’ fluid intelligence. A sample of 98 individuals attempted to discover the underlying structure of a computer-simulated complex dynamic system. After initially controlling the system with their limited knowledge, half of the sample received guidance concerning the actual underlying structure of the system. All participants then controlled the system again.  In contrast to the results of previous studies, guidance did result in immediate improvements in control performance. Fluid intelligence moderated the extent to which problem solvers benefited from structural information. These results indicate that guidance in the form of structural information is critical in promoting knowledge and control over complex and dynamic systems.

description: As a part of investigation of thyreostatic activity of mercapto-substituted triazoles, the structure, spectroscopic properties of 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione were obtained. 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione forms steady charge-transfer complex in dilute chloroform solution, coordinating one iodine molecule (lgβ = 3.47). The reaction product of 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione is presented by uncharged adduct: C6H6N4OS·I2. The crystal structure of the adduct was studied in detail by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results of thermogravimetric analysis revealed the stability of adduct in a solid state at the temperature range 50–500 °C.

Bose glass transition and spin-wave localization for 2D bosons in a random potential

description: A spin-wave approach of the zero temperature superfluid-insulator transition for two-dimensional hard-core bosons in a random potential $μ=\pm$ W is developed. While at the classical level there is no intervening phase between the Bose-condensed superfluid (SF) and the gapped disordered insulator, the introduction of quantum fluctuations leads to a much richer physics. Upon increasing the disorder strength W, the Bose-condensed fraction disappears first, before the SF. Then a gapless Bose-glass phase emerges over a finite region until the insulator appears. Furthermore, in the strongly disordered SF regime, a mobility edge in the spin-wave excitation spectrum is found at a finite frequency $Ω_c$ decreasing with W, and presumably vanishing in the Bose-glass phase.

description: We show that the recently introduced 0-1 test can successfully distinguish between strange nonchaotic attractors(SNAs) and periodic/quasiperiodic/chaotic attractors, by suitably choosing the arbitrary parameter associated with the translation variables in terms of the golden mean number which avoids resonance with the quasiperiodic force. We further characterize the transition from quasiperiodic to chaotic motion via SNAs interms of the 0-1 test. We demonstrate that the test helps to detect different dynamical transitions to SNAs from quasiperiodic attractor or the transitions from SNAs to chaos. We illustrate the performance of the 0-1 test in detecting transitions to SNAs in quasiperiodically forced logistic map, cubic map, and Duffing oscillator.

description: Optimal design of water distribution networks, which are governed by a series of linear and nonlinear equations, has been extensively studied in the past decades. Due to their NP-hardness, methods to solve the optimization problem have changed from traditional mathematical programming to modern intelligent optimization techniques. In this study, with respect to the model formulation, we have demonstrated that the network system can be reduced to the dimensionality of the number of closed simple loops or required independent paths, and the reduced nonlinear system can be solved efficiently by the Newton-Raphson method. Regarding the optimization technique, a discrete state transition algorithm (STA) is introduced to solve several cases of water distribution networks. In discrete STA, there exist four basic intelligent operators, namely, swap, shift, symmetry and substitute as well as the "risk and restore in probability" strategy. Firstly, we focus on a parametric study of the restore probability $p_1$ and risk probability $p_2$. To effectively deal with the head pressure constraints, we then investigate the effect of penalty coefficient and search enforcement on the performance of the algorithm. Based on the experience gained from the training of the Two-Loop network problem, the discrete STA has successfully achieved the best known solutions for the Hanoi and New York problems. A detailed comparison of our results with those gained by other algorithms is also presented.

description: The J/Ψ(1S) and Ψ'(2S) production near threshold in antiproton-nucleus reactions is calculated on the basis of the Glauber model. The model takes into account the antiproton (pre)absorption, proton Fermi motion, and charmonium formation length. We confirm earlier prediction that the charmonium production in $\bar pA$ collisions at $p_{lab}=3-10$ GeV/c is not influenced by formation length effects and is very well suited to determine the genuine charmonium-nucleon dissociation cross sections. The comparison is performed with the J/Ψphotoproduction at high energies, where formation length effects play a very important role. However, we demonstrate that the detailed structure of the proton and neutron density profiles has to be taken into account, if one wants to extract information on the J/ΨN dissociation cross section from J/Ψtransparency ratios. These studies are relevant for the upcoming PANDA experiment at FAIR.
