description: The automated grain sizing technique (AGS) has been widely used to characterize grain size distribution of a channel bed. A handful number of literatures have been made available in portraying the wide range of AGS application for river and coastal studies. However, the accuracy of this technique is subject to further validation and verification. The accuracy of the AGS technique is lessened due to distortions of image, relief, or tilt. This paper discusses the consistency of the AGS technique at different ground sampling distances, and the implementation of correction factors to modify the grain size distribution (GSD) curve of the AGS technique on fine and coarse fractions. Through a discrepancy ratio test, the GSD curve from the AGS technique was compared with those of the conventional sieving and pebble-counting methods. It was observed that relief distortion did not have a significant impact on the GSD curve. However, textural presence in sediment particles led to ‘over-segmentation,’ which complicated the edge detection of an individual particle. The introduction of correction factors, using least square regression equation, was able to correct those errors by reducing and maintaining the discrepancy ratio to 0.688–1.283 for fine fractions, and 0.758–1.125 for coarse fractions.
On monoids, 2-firs, and semifirs

description: Several authors have studied the question of when the monoid ring DM of a monoid M over a ring D is a right and/or left fir (free ideal ring), a semifir, or a 2-fir (definitions recalled in section 1). It is known that for M nontrivial, a necessary condition for any of these properties to hold is that D be a division ring. Under that assumption, necessary and sufficient conditions on M are known for DM to be a right or left fir, and various conditions on M have been proved necessary or sufficient for DM to be a 2-fir or semifir. A sufficient condition for DM to be a semifir is that M be a direct limit of monoids which are free products of free monoids and free groups. W.Dicks has conjectured that this is also necessary. However F.Cedó has given an example of a monoid M which is not such a direct limit, but satisfies the known necessary conditions for DM to be a semifir. It is an open question whether for this M, the rings DM are semifirs. We note some reformulations of the known necessary conditions for DM to be a 2-fir or a semifir, motivate Cedó's construction and a variant, and recover Cedó's results for both constructions. Any homomorphism from a monoid M into \Z induces a \Z-grading on DM, and we show that for the two monoids in question, the rings DM are "homogeneous semifirs" with respect to all such nontrivial \Z-gradings; i.e., have (roughly) the property that every finitely generated homogeneous one-sided ideal is free. If M is a monoid such that DM is an n-fir, and N a "well-behaved" submonoid of M, we obtain results on DN. Using these, we show that for M a monoid such that DM is a 2-fir, mutual commutativity is an equivalence relation on nonidentity elements of M, and each equivalence class, together with the identity element, is a directed union of infinite cyclic groups or infinite cyclic monoids. Several open questions are noted.

Lipophilic and cationic gallium-68 complexes for the detection of mitochondrial dysfunction
Creators: name: Osborne, Bradley Edward
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis gives an account of the synthesis of macrocyclic and acyclic ligands for radiolabelling with gallium-68 to afford lipophilic and cationic radiotracers to report on mitochondrial dysfunction. These radiotracers are designed to be lipophilic enough to ensure the successful permeation of lipid bilayer membranes, and to also possess a cationic charge in order to be attracted into the mitochondria in a manner dependent on the mitochondrial membrane potential. The synthesis of novel macrocyclic chelators for gallium-68 labelling is described in chapter 2. The synthesis of three sets of macrocyclic compounds are discussed, beginning with a focus on triarylphosphonium functionalisation to afford lipophilic and cationic compounds. All three sets of compounds described in chapter 2 were successfully radiolabelled with generator-produced gallium-68. Chapter 3 describes this radiolabelling, starting with the optimisation of radiochemical yields through a series of altering reaction condition experiments. Initial screening of these radiolabelled compounds was performed through the measurement of their log D values. RadioHPLC analysis was used to investigate the purity of the reaction mixture and assess the presence of speciation. Chapter 4 described the candidate radiotracer’s behaviour in a preclinical model. The cardiac uptake and retention of the candidate radiotracer was determined using the ex vivo Langendorff isolated perfused heart model in both healthy and depolarised mitochondria, with MIBI used as a baseline for this model. This work provides the foundation for additional, more thorough, biological evaluation of such radiotracers, as well as informing on the design and development of future lipophilic and cationic gallium-68 radiotracers. As well as macrocyclic ligands discussed in chapter 2, several acyclic ligand families were also synthesised. These series of acyclic ligands are described in chapter 5, including a focus on bis(salicylaldimine) compounds and some phosphinic acid functionalised analogues, two series of tridentate ligands which have been shown to selectively form 2:1 complexes with metals in the oxidation state of +3, and a final series of bis(semicarbazone) chelates with a focus on triarylphosphonium functionalisation to yield lipophilic and cationic compounds. Chapter 6 summarises the conclusions of this thesis and ideas for future work of this research. Chapter 7 summarises the experimental procedures for the synthetic chemistry and radiochemistry. Chapter 8 contains an Appendix for NMR, MS and DFT data.
Dynamical description of spatio-temporally varying turbulent energy cascades
Creators: name: Larssen, Henrik Stumberg
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: The spatio-temporally varying turbulent energy cascade dynamics in forced homogeneous/periodic turbulence is investigated with direct numerical simulations (DNS) and Helmholtz decompositions. The local in space and time cascade dynamics vastly differs from its spatio-temporal average manifestation. At scales larger than the Taylor scale, the solenoidal interscale transfer at most locations at most times increases or decreases the energy at the given scale in the frame moving with larger scales, i.e. Lagrangian transport. The solenoidal interscale transfer derives from the non-local in space vortex stretching/compression and tilting effects of its spatial vicinity. The irrotational cascade dynamics reduces to an exact balance between irrotational transport, irrotational interscale transfer and pressure-velocity. The typical fluctuations of these processes vastly exceed their spatio-temporal average values and the typical dissipation fluctuations. At scales below the Taylor scale, viscous effects increase in importance in the solenoidal dynamics. At the Kolmogorov scale solenoidal interscale transfer, Lagrangian transport and viscous effects are all important. In regions of low and moderate small-scale energy, and to a somewhat lesser extent in regions of high small-scale energy, there is rarely a local balance between interscale transfer and viscous effects. Lagrangian transport acts as a non-local in time and space link between interscale transfer and viscous effects. The spatially-averaged manifestation of the local cascade dynamics is an unsteady and approximately unidirectional energy cascade, which can be approximated with a hypothesis connecting the present interscale transfer with the future dissipation. The hypothesis can be used to develop non-equilibrium corrections to the low-pass filtered dynamics and second-order structure function scaling consistent with DNSs. We use the phenomenology of a time-lagged energy cascade to motivate a new redistributive dissipation scaling. The non-equilibrium dissipation scaling typically reduces to the redistributive dissipation scaling at low and moderate Reynolds numbers.

description: We investigate the current status of the light neutralino dark matter scenario within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) taking into account latest results from the LHC. A discussion of the relevant constraints, in particular from the dark matter relic abundance, leads us to a manageable simplified model defined by a subset of MSSM parameters. Within this simplified model we reinterpret a recent search for electroweak supersymmetric particle production based on a signature including multi-taus plus missing transverse momentum performed by the ATLAS collaboration. In this way we derive stringent constraints on the light neutralino parameter space. In combination with further experimental information from the LHC, such as dark matter searches in the monojet channel and constraints on invisible Higgs decays, we obtain a lower bound on the lightest neutralino mass of about 24 GeV. This limit is stronger than any current limit set by underground direct dark matter searches or indirect detection experiments. With a mild improvement of the sensitivity of the multi-tau search, light neutralino dark matter can be fully tested up to about 30 GeV.

description: The use of advanced statistical analysis tools is crucial in order to improve cosmological parameter estimates via removal of systematic errors and identification of previously unaccounted for cosmological signals. Here we demonstrate the application of a new fully-Bayesian method, the internal robustness formalism, to scan for systematics and new signals in the recent supernova Ia Union compilations. Our analysis is tailored to maximize chances of detecting the anomalous subsets by means of a variety of sorting algorithms. We analyse supernova Ia distance moduli for effects depending on angular separation, redshift, surveys and hemispherical directions. The data have proven to be robust within 2 sigma, giving an independent confirmation of successful removal of systematics-contaminated supernovae. Hints of new cosmology, as for example the anisotropies reported by Planck, do not seem to be reflected in the supernova Ia data.

description: BACKGROUND:Hydatidosis, is an infection caused by the cystic larval stage of the Echinococcus granulosus.This disease is a zoonotic disease has a worldwide distribution and common in developing and undeveloped countries. OBJECTIVES: The objective of the present study is to Studying the infection rate and predilection seats of hydatid cyst affections among slaughtered food animals in Aswan Governorate., southern Egypt and study the effect of age and sex of infected slaughtered animals on the infection with Hydatid cyst. Also study the effect of seasonal variations in the infection with Hydatid cyst among slaughtered animals. In addition the macroscopic examination, Microscopic examination Scanning electron microscopy and histopathological studies for the collected Hydatid cyst are examined METHODS,This investigation was carried out from August2015 to July2016 in two main slaughterhouses in Aswan Governorate to study the hydatidosis in camels and sheep. by routine meat inspection , Hydatid cyst count and characterization was conducted. FINDINGS:A total of 2080 camels and 674sheep were examined. Of these, 173 (8.32%) camels and 3 (0.45%) sheep were found to harbour one or more Hydatid cysts.Female and older age slaughtered animals were more susceptible to infection with these metacestode than males and younger animals.Hydatid cyst infection in slaughtered animals is most commonly found in lung followed by liver while mixed infection in both lung and liver was found only in camel. Hydatid cyst in slaughtered camels was higher in autumn followed by winter, while Hydatid cyst in slaughtered sheep was found only in autumn season.Fertile cysts in lung and liver of slaughtered camels was (83.4%) and (30%), respectively. While the fertility of Hydatid cyst in infected lung and liver of sheep was (100%). MAIN CONCLUSIONS: This study reported that slaughtered animals were infected with relatively high infection rate of hydatid cyst may be due to the presence of socio-economic conditions favourable for the disease and maintenance of high level of infection .So must design governmental control programs against Hydatidosis to minimize the infection rate in Aswan Governorate and ensure effective protection not only for animal population but also for humans at risk of contracting the infection

description: Taeniasis is an important foodborne parasitic disease worldwide. This study determined the presence of cysticercosis in cattle and buffaloes and discussing their public health importance in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. A total number of 45780 cattle, 223 buffaloes, were examined during the extended period from August 2015 till the end of July 2016. The existence of Cysticercus bovis infection among slaughtered Cattle and Buffaloes was studied at three different slaughterhouses (Aswan, Draw and Al-Sharq Al-Awsat) in Aswan Governorate. C. bovis in slaughtered cattle and buffaloes was (7.5% & 1.34%), respectively. Cattle and buffaloes infected with C. bovis it was for young and old animals, respectively (7.5% &12.12%); (0.51% & (7.14%). C. bovis in slaughtered cattle was commonly found in the tongue muscles (70.46%), Heart (2.8%), masseter muscles (0.43%) and gluteal muscles (0.29%). While for buffaloes heart (100%) was the most common site infected with C.bovis .Moreover, Viable C.bovis was (86%) in slaughtered cattle and buffaloes. Taeniasis was detected in (0.4%) of examined patients with gastroenteritis. The infection among male is (1.5%) while it not detected in females. The results confirmed that cysticercosis is endemic among cattle and buffaloes in Aswan Governorate. Meat inspection is a must.

description: The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence, organ distribution, morphological characters and economic importance of Cysticercus ovis and Cysticercus tenuicollis in sheep and goats. A total of 669 sheep and 484goats slaughtered at Aswan Slaughterhouse were carefully examined for these metacestodes. Cysticercus ovis was detected (1.94%) from slaughtered sheep. Cysticercus tenuicollis was found (13.3%) in sheep and (24.2%) in goats. The prevalence of both C.ovis and C.tenuicollis was higher in females than males and their prevalence was higher in older animals compared to the younger ones. For Cysticercus ovis, the highest infection was found in spring while the highest seasonal infection rate of Cysticercus tenuicollis in slaughtered sheep and goats was noted in autumn season. The infection with C.ovis was only found in the heart, while C.tenuicollis in slaughtered sheep and goats was found mainly in the omentum. These results suggest that the high prevalence of the metacestodes infection in this area is a great concern for both medical and veterinary authorities to design therapeutic and preventive programs to overcome this problem.

description: We study the dynamics of massive black hole pairs in clumpy gaseous circumnuclear disks. We track the orbital decay of the light, secondary black hole $M_{\bullet2}$ orbiting around the more massive primary at the center of the disk, using $N$-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations. We find that the gravitational interaction of $M_{\bullet2}$ with massive clumps $M_{\rm cl}$ erratically perturbs the otherwise smooth orbital decay. In close encounters with massive clumps, gravitational slingshots can kick the secondary black hole out of the disk plane. The black hole moving on an inclined orbit then experiences the weaker dynamical friction of the stellar background, resulting in a longer orbital decay timescale. Interactions between clumps can also favor orbital decay when the black hole is captured by a massive clump which is segregating toward the center of the disk. The stochastic behavior of the black hole orbit emerges mainly when the ratio $M_{\bullet2}/M_{\rm cl}$ falls below unity, with decay timescales ranging from $\sim1$ to $\sim50$ Myr. This suggests that describing the cold clumpy phase of the inter-stellar medium in self-consistent simulations of galaxy mergers, albeit so far neglected, is important to predict the black hole dynamics in galaxy merger remnants.

description: We propose a new algorithm for an adaptive optics system control law which allows to reduce the computational burden in the case of an Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and to deal with non-stationary behaviors of the turbulence. This approach, using Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter and localizations by domain decomposition is called the local ETKF: the pupil of the telescope is split up into various local domains and calculations for the update estimate of the turbulent phase on each domain are performed independently. This data assimilation scheme enables parallel computation of markedly less data during this update step. This adapts the Kalman Filter to large scale systems with a non-stationary turbulence model when the explicit storage and manipulation of extremely large covariance matrices are impossible. First simulation results are given in order to assess the theoretical analysis and to demonstrate the potentiality of this new control law for complex adaptive optics systems on ELTs.

description: By exactly analyzing the spin-1/2 Luttinger liquid (LL) and numerically solving a model of a mobile impurity electron in the LL, we obtain the one-electron spectral function $A(p,ω)$ in a one-dimensional (1D) metal in an entire range of $p$ at zero temperature. For $|p|$ near the Fermi point $p_{\rm F}$, $A(p,ω)$ is featured by two prominent peaks of spinon and (anti)holon representing spin-charge separation, but we also find an additional cusp structure between them. For $|p| \gg p_{\rm F}$, this structure evolves as a main peak in $A(p,ω)$ by swallowing the antiholon mode and its dispersion relation approaches the one of a free electron, implying the existence of an electron excitation in the whole region, but not quite a quasiparticle in the Fermi liquid due to ever existing power-law decay of the excitation.

description: As psychologists continue to engage the growing diversity within the United States and around the world, there is an imperative need for psychological services that are specific to cultural needs and integrate relevant sociohistorical and community factors. Currently, ethnocentrism in psychological interventions, research, and graduate training limit psychologists’ international engagement and perpetuate a focus on U.S. psychology. For graduate programs in health service psychology (i.e., clinical, school, and counseling psychology), there is a dearth of literature on their methods of preparation of health service professionals engaging in psychological work outside of the U.S. However, graduate training programs have opportunities to intervene on the field’s colonialism by preparing professionals to effectively engage internationally. Addressing ethnocentrism in training is a critical next step for the field of health service psychology.This dissertation is comprised of two distinct chapters that are conceptually related. In the first chapter, I review health service psychology’s current international engagement. As psychologists engage outside of the United States, the field of psychology and the training community must critically examine the applicability of psychological interventions, research, and graduate education to international contexts. I propose six recommendations for training programs to deconstruct colonialism and enhance preparation of graduates for competent work outside of the U.S.In the second chapter, I report an original, empirical study, using qualitative descriptive methodology, which critically examines how U.S. training prepares graduates to work internationally. Through semi-structured interviews, I explored internationally based psychologists’ reflections on their training experiences and preparation for their current roles in teaching, practice, research, consultation and policy, and psychological infrastructure. Data analysis utilized consensual qualitative research methodology (CQR). Results provided valuable information regarding psychologists’ professional roles outside of the U.S., factors contributing to their vocational experiences, country-specific mental health attitudes, values, and practices, the impact of U.S.-centric psychology in the country of location, lessons taken from their graduate training, and recommendations for international work. Findings provided recommendations to the training community to incorporate more of an international focus and enhance preparation of students for work outside of the U.S.

description: Hybrid magnetic arrays embedded in superconducting films are ideal systems to study the competition between different physical (such as the coherence length) and structural length scales such as available in artificially produced structures. This interplay leads to oscillation in many magnetically dependent superconducting properties such as the critical currents, resistivity and magnetization. These effects are generally analyzed using two distinct models based on vortex pinning or wire network. In this work, we show that for magnetic dot arrays, as opposed to antidot (i.e holes) arrays, vortex pinning is the main mechanism for field induced oscillations in resistance R(H), critical current Ic(H), magnetization M(H) and ac-susceptibility Xac(H) in a broad temperature range. Due to the coherence length divergence at Tc, a crossover to wire network behavior is experimentally found. While pinning occurs in a wide temperature range up to Tc, wire network behavior is only present in a very narrow temperature window close to Tc. In this temperature interval, contributions from both mechanisms are operational but can be experimentally distinguished.

description: It is known from Bell's theorem that quantum predictions for some entangled states cannot be mimicked using local hidden variable (LHV) models. From a computer science perspective, LHV models may be interpreted as classical computers operating on a potentially infinite number of correlated bits originating from a common source. As such, Bell inequality violations achieved through entangled states are able to characterise the quantum advantage of certain tasks, so long as the task itself imposes no restriction on the availability of correlated bits. However, if the number of shared bits is limited, additional constraints are placed on the possible LHV models and separable, i.e. disentangled, states may become a useful resource. Bell violations are therefore no longer necessary to achieve a quantum advantage. Here we show that in particular, separable states may improve the so-called random access codes, which is a class of communication problems where one party tries to read a portion of the data held by another distant party in presence of finite shared randomness and limited classical communication. We also show how the bias of classical bits can be used to avoid wrong answers in order to achieve the optimal classical protocol and how the advantage of quantum protocols is linked to quantum discord.

description: This paper studies the impact government expenditure has on inflation by examining an
augmented Phillips curve implied from a structural New Keynesian model. Our estimation
results, based on external instruments, show that the augmented Phillips curve has a flatter
slope than the canonical specification and that government expenditure has a negative
coefficient. Changes in government expenditure account for a substantial portion of inflation
variations and provide new insights into the “missing disinflation” puzzle. We also find that
inflation and inflation expectations respond negatively to fiscal spending shocks, reaffirming
the supply-side channel through which inflation responds to fiscal expansions.
description: Dans cette étude, nous examinons l’incidence des dépenses publiques sur l’inflation au moyen
d’une courbe de Phillips augmentée issue d’un modèle structurel de type nouveau keynésien.
Les résultats de notre estimation, basée sur des instruments externes, montrent que la courbe
de Phillips augmentée est plus plate que la courbe classique et que les dépenses publiques ont
un coefficient négatif. Les variations des dépenses publiques représentent une part importante
des variations de l’inflation et fournissent un nouvel éclairage sur l’énigme de la « désinflation
manquante ». Nous observons aussi que l’inflation et les attentes d’inflation baissent en
réponse aux chocs de dépenses publiques, ce qui confirme de nouveau le canal tributaire de
l’offre par lequel l’inflation réagit aux expansions budgétaires.

description: We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the spin-1/2 compound CuP$_2$O$_6$ that features a network of two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic (AFM) square planes, interconnected via one-dimensional (1D) AFM spin chains. Magnetic susceptibility, high-field magnetization, and electron spin resonance (ESR) data, as well as microscopic density-functional band-structure calculations and subsequent quantum Monte-Carlo simulations, show that the coupling $J_{2D}\sim$ 40 K in the layers is an order of magnitude larger than $J_{1D}\sim$ 4 K in the chains. Below $T_N\sim$ 8 K, CuP$_2$O$_6$ develops long-range order (LRO), as evidenced by a weak net moment on the 2D planes induced by anisotropic magnetic interactions of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya type. A striking feature of this 3D ordering transition is that the 1D moments grow significantly slower than the ones on the 2D layers, which is evidenced by the persistent paramagnetic ESR signal below $T_N$. Compared to typical quasi-2D magnets, the ordering temperature of CuP$_2$O$_6$ $T_N/J_{2D}\sim$ 0.2 is unusually low, showing that weakly coupled spins sandwiched between 2D magnetic units effectively decouple these units and impede the long-range ordering.

description: The aim of the present study is to summarize the current evidence published in the literature concerning the role of transoral robotic surgery in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Recently, in order to reduce the side-effects related to chemo-radiotherapy, the use of transoral robotic surgery has increased especially for oropharyngeal tumors related to HPV. Our review highlighted that, although the current evidence is not enough to clarify whether patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer treated with transoral robotic surgery have a better oncologic or functional outcome compared to those treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, transoral robotic surgery still showed good oncological outcomes. Also, in the future transoral robotic surgery could potentially represent a promising strategy for intensifying treatments in HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancer.

description: The Immersed Interface Method is employed to solve the time-varying electric field equations around a three-dimensional vesicle. To achieve second-order accuracy the implicit jump conditions for the electric potential, up to the second normal derivative, are derived. The trans-membrane potential is determined implicitly as part of the algorithm. The method is compared to an analytic solution based on spherical harmonics and verifies the second-order accuracy of the underlying discretization even in the presence of solution discontinuities. A sample result for an elliptic interface is also presented.

description: Within a multiphase transport model, medium modifications of differential jet shapes are investigated in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}$ = 2.76 TeV. The differential jet shapes are significantly modified by the strong interactions between jets and a partonic medium in Pb+Pb collisions relative to that in p+p collisions. The modifications are slightly weakened by the hadronization of coalescence, but strengthened by resonance decays in hadronic rescatterings. Subleading jets display larger medium modifications than leading jets, especially in central Pb+Pb collisions with large dijet asymmetries. These behaviors of medium modifications of differential jet shapes reflect a dynamical evolution of redistribution of jet energy inside a quenched jet cone in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας πτυχιακής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη των αιθέριων ελαίων ως αντιμικροβιακοί παράγοντες. Η ακαδημαϊκή εργασία βασίζεται κυρίως στη μελέτη επιστημονικών άρθρων και στην ανάλυση επιστημονικών ερευνών για τη δράση, τη χρήση και την αποτελεσματικότητα των αιθέριων ελαίων. Όσον αφορά τα ευρήματα, μέσω της ανάλυσης της εργασίας, θα είναι δυνατή η κατανόηση του βαθμού στον οποίο η εφαρμογή των αιθέριων ελαίων είναι τόσο σημαντική όσο και αποτελεσματική. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, τα αιθέρια έλαια εφαρμόζονται όλο και περισσότερο σε διάφορους κλάδους όπως για παράδειγμα σε βιομηχανίες φαρμάκων, τροφίμων και καλλυντικών. Σημαντικό είναι να αναφερθεί πως στις βιομηχανίες φαρμάκων τα αιθέρια έλαια εφαρμόζονται ως αντιβακτηριακοί, αντιφλεγμονώδεις, αντιιικοί και αντιμυκητιακοί παράγοντες. Ολοκληρώνοντας η μελέτη των αιθέριων ελαίων ως αντιμικροβιακοί παράγοντες βοηθά στην ανάγκη για την εφαρμογή τους σε αποτελεσματικότερα προϊόντα με βάση το αιθέριο έλαιο. Αυτό μπορεί να επιτευχθεί με σωστές μεθόδους εκχύλισης προκειμένου να διασφαλιστεί η ποιότητα των αιθέριων ελαίων και μέσω της τεχνικής ενθυλάκωσης των αιθέριων ελαίων και των συστατικών τους, προκειμένου να ενισχυθούν παράγοντες όπως για παράδειγμα η διάρκειας ζωής και η βιολογική δραστηριότητα.
