Studies on resistance and associated fitness costs in Lepidoptera to Bacillus thuringiensis toxins
Creators: name: Gulzar, Asim
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Microbial insecticides derived from the common soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become increasingly important for pest management, particularly in Bt (GM) crops. In addition to crystal (Cry) proteins produced during the spore stage, vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP) produced during vegetative growth are of current interest for use with Cry toxins in GM crops. In this thesis, the effects of Bt toxins on two target lepidopteran pest species, the bollworm, Heliothis virescens, and the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, are described. Cross-resistance to non-Bt insecticides was not found in populations of H. virescens (Vip3A-Sel WF06) and P. xylostella (Cry1Ac-Sel Karak) resistant to Vip3A and Cry1Ac respectively. While the synergist piperonyl butoxide (PBO), an inhibitor of microsomal mono-oxygenases and esterases, did not enhance the toxicity of Vip3A in Vip3A-Sel H. virescens and PBO and the esterase inhibitor DEF did not enhance the toxicity of Cry1Ac in P. xylostella Cry1Ac-Sel Karak. Selection studies with PBO on a population of P. xylostella (SERD4) with a history of developing resistance and cross-resistance to insecticides failed to result in resistance to PBO after selection for 20 generations. Electrophoresis studies indicated the presence of an extra esterase band in Vip3A-Sel compared with unselected H. virescens but there is no evidence that it is related to resistance. Binding experiments suggested that the labelling reaction may have inactivated the binding sites of Vip3Aa and evidence of specific binding of Vip3A toxin to midgut epithelial membranes of unselected H. virescens could not be obtained. Treatment of H. virescens (WFO6, unselected) and P. xylostella (Karak, unselected) with a sub-lethal concentration of Vip3A was found to increase larval and pupal development time and pupal weight, reduce survival (neonate larvae to adult emergence) and mating pair success, increase fecundity and reduce egg viability and the intrinsic rate of population increase (rm). Various fitness costs were found to be associated with resistance in Vip3A-Sel H. virescens and some fitness costs were shown to be temperature dependent: survival (egg to adult), mating pair success, production of viable progeny, egg viability and fecundity, and rm of Vip3A resistant insects being lower at sub-optimal culture temperatures compared with unselected insects. Vip3A resistant larvae were also found to be more susceptible to entomopathogenic nematodes, and had a lower flight muscle ratio, and a greater level of fluctuating asymmetry of morphological traits compared with unselected insects. The work is discussed with particular reference to resistance management strategies for Vip toxins.

description: The Arizona Public Service Cholla-Saguaro Transmission Line Mitigation Project, an undertaking as large in scope as its full title suggests, began in April of 1977. It is hereafter referred to as Cholla. The project's obvious purpose was to mitigate construction impact on prehistoric sites along that portion of the line extending from the Cholla generating plant near the Little Colorado River to the upper drainage of Devore Wash south of Lake Roosevelt, a distance of 135 transmission-line miles. The Chevelon Region of the Cholla Project is bounded by the Little Colorado River on the north and the Mogollon Rim on the south. It is equivalent to the Chevelon Creek Drainage, the area of the Chevelon Archaeological Research Project as defined by F. Plog and others (1976: 1). Only one Cholla Project site (AZ P:3:7) falls outside the Chevelon Creek Drainage. Within the Cholla Project, the Chevelon Region comprises a group of 15 sites affected by transmission line construction. The domain of investigation is this arbitrary group of sites rather than an analytically meaningful study area. Archaeological investigation of the sites was minimal because even the most destructive effects of building the transmission line were slight. These two factors—the arbitrary grouping of sites and minimal archaeological investigation— directly determined the structure of the research. Three additional factors that directly influenced research decisions and the schedule of work were (1) the construction schedule established by APS; (2) the history of the Cholla Project in the Chevelon Region; and (3) the necessity of complying with bureaucratic procedures. This volume contains descriptions of the archaeological context of sites investigated in the Chevelon Region. It provides a verbal, graphic, and tabular presentation of observations on the prehistoric remains, and presents our interpretation of these data in the context of our research questions and in the context of the prehistory of the Chevelon.

description: Two Streptomyces spp. strains responsible for potato common scab infections in Uruguay which do not produce diketopiperazines were identified through whole-genome sequencing, and the virulence factor produced by one of them was isolated and characterized. Phylogenetic analysis showed that both pathogenic strains can be identified as S. niveiscabiei, and the structure of the phytotoxin was elucidated as that of the polyketide desmethylmensacarcin using MS and NMR methods. The metabolite is produced in yields of ∼200 mg/L of culture media, induces deep necrotic lesions on potato tubers, stuns root and shoot growth in radish seedlings, and is comparatively more aggressive than thaxtomin A. This is the first time that desmethylmensacarcin, a member of a class of compounds known for their antitumor and antibiotic activity, is associated with phytotoxicity. More importantly, it represents the discovery of a new virulence factor related to potato common scab, an economically-important disease affecting potato production worldwide.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We search for $N=2$, $d=4$ theories which can be realized both as heterotic string compactifications on $K_{3}\times T^{2}$ and as type II string compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds. In such cases, the exact non-perturbative superpotential of one string theory is given in terms of tree level computations in the other string theory. In particular we find concrete examples which provide the stringy realization of the results of Seiberg and Witten on N=2 Yang-Mills theory, corrected by gravitational/stringy effects. We also discuss some examples which shed light on how the moduli spaces of different N=2 heterotic vacua are connected.

description: Within the framework of selfconsistent cranked Hartree-Fock- Bogoliubov theory(one-dimensional) we predict second backbend in the yrast line of Os-182 at $I \approx 40 $, which is even sharper than the first one observed experimentally at $I \approx 14 $. Around such a high spin the structure becomes multi-quasiparticle type, but the main source of this strong discontinuity is a sudden large alignment of i_13/2 proton orbitals along the rotation axis followed soon by the alignment of j_15/2 neutron orbitals. This leads to drastic structural changes at such high spins. When experimentally confirmed, this will be observed for the first time in this mass region, and will be at the highest spin so far.

description: Software-Defined-eXchanges (SDXes) promise to tackle the timely quest of bringing improving the inter-domain routing ecosystem through SDN deployment. Yet, the naive deployment of SDN on the Internet raises concerns about the correctness of the inter-domain data-plane. By allowing operators to deflect traffic from the default BGP route, SDN policies are susceptible of creating permanent forwarding loops invisible to the control-plane. In this paper, we propose a system, called Prelude, for detecting SDN-induced forwarding loops between SDXes with high accuracy without leaking the private routing information of network operators. To achieve this, we leverage Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC) techniques to build a novel and general privacy-preserving primitive that detects whether any subset of SDN rules might affect the same portion of traffic without learning anything about those rules. We then leverage that primitive as the main building block of a distributed system tailored to detect forwarding loops among any set of SDXes. We leverage the particular nature of SDXes to further improve the efficiency of our SMPC solution. The number of valid SDN rules, i.e., not creating loops, rejected by our solution is 100x lower than previous privacy-preserving solutions, and also provides better privacy guarantees. Furthermore, our solution naturally provides network operators with some hindsight on the cost of the deflected paths.

description: We completely describe by inequalities the set of boundary correlation matrices of planar Ising networks embedded in a disk. Specifically, we build on a recent result of M.~Lis to give a simple bijection between such correlation matrices and points in the totally nonnegative part of the orthogonal Grassmannian, which has been introduced in 2013 in the study of the scattering amplitudes of ABJM theory. We also show that the edge parameters of the Ising model for reduced networks can be uniquely recovered from boundary correlations, solving the inverse problem. Under our correspondence, the Kramers--Wannier high/low temperature duality transforms into the cyclic symmetry of the Grassmannian, and using this cyclic symmetry, we prove that the spaces under consideration are homeomorphic to closed balls.

Engineering of Fibrous Scaffolds for use in Regenerative Medicine

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Tissue engineering with fibrous scaffolds is emerging as a major research area in the field of regenerative medicine. The major themes pursued in this thesis are the study of the cellular response to nanofibrous constructs, the role of nanofibres in the engineering of synthetic scaffolds, and the development of technology to facilitate the fabrication of nanofibrous scaffolds with controlled architectures. Cells cultured on multi‐walled carbon nanotubes displayed reduced proliferation and altered cytoskeletal development, thought to be due to the undermining of the maturation of focal adhesions. Development of an electrospinning chamber enabled the creation of poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(lactic acid) and poly(caprolactone) fibres for the study of cellular response to nano‐ and macro‐fibrous scaffolds. Cell attachment and organisation on the electrospun fibres was visualised using scanning electron microscopy, oblique microscopy and live cell microscopy. It was found that the incorporation of nanofibres into scaffolds restricts the maturation of focal adhesions which modulates cytoskeletal formation. This can be used to restrict the migration and the proliferation of attachment dependant cells such as osteoblasts or maintain the differentiation of cells such as chodrocytes. To scale up electrospun fibre production, use of rotating collectors, multi‐jet spinning and secondary electrodes to focus the spinning were investigated. Further to this, development of an array of focusing electrodes to control, stabilise and deflect the jet was also investigated towards the creation of a rapid‐prototype electrospinning system. The secondary electrode array was found to reduce the spreading of the jet to a spot diameter of 10mm and charged deflection plates successfully redirecting the position of the jet as it arrived at the collector.

We apply the relativistic impulse model to study the sensitivities of the observables to the density distributionswhich are expressed in Woods-Saxon form. We find that the both radius and diffuseness of densities can be determined from restricted elastic scattering data in principle. We think this result is helpful to design future experiments.

description: This work looks at some definitive signatures of magnetars, in particular of period closures accompanied by a decline of X-ray radiation in two models. We review some of the previous works which are based on the well known dynamo model in which the star is born with a period of a few milliseconds at high temperatures. In such a convection regime the dynamo mechanism can amplify the the magnetic fields to the magnetar value. This is in contrast to a screened core model which posits that a high density phase transition occurs in the inner core of magnetars that dynamically aligns all the neutron magnetic moments producing a large magnetic field in the core. The accompanying change of flux gives rise to shielding or screening currents in the surrounding high conductivity plasma that do not permit the field to exit to the surface. Ambipolar diffusion then transports the field to the crust dissipating energy in neutrinos and X-rays. The up-welling field cleaves the crust resulting in flares and X-ray radiation from ohmic dissipation in the crust till the screening currents are spent and the surface polar field attains its final value. In the dynamo model the polar magnetic field decreases with time whereas in our screened model it increases to its final value. One consequence of this is that in the latter model, as a function of time and period, the ratio of the dipole radiation loss, $\dot E$ to the X-ray luminosity, $ L_X$, is a 'U' curve, indicating that it is the exponential decline in $L_X$, that brings closure to the periods that are observed for magnetars.

description: On July 28, 1982, Lyle M. Stone of Archaeological Research Services, Inc. performed an archaeological survey of a 2.3 mile by 100 ft wide right-of-way for a proposed 22 kV distribution line on the Tonto National Forest near Punkin Center, Gila Country, Arizona. The proposed Salt River Project distribution line will serve an AT&T relay station in the vicinity of Four Peaks. This survey was requested by Salt River Project in order to determine if important cultural resources (prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, historically or architecturally significant structures or buildings) were located within the project area which might be affected by the proposed distribution line construction. The proposed line will be constructed along an existing telephone line alignment. This survey was performed under the conditions and authority of a Special Use Permit issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, to Archaeological Research Services, Inc. in October 1981. Accordingly, the appropriate Forest Supervisor and District Ranger were notified in writing in advance of the survey. This file includes an early report on the area resources by Mary Raring-Hart, a special use application, schematic drawings, and numerous pieces of correspondence among the U. S. Forest Service, Salt River Project, Lyle M. Stone, and Arizona State University.

description: Schistosoma japonicum, a multi-host parasite, remains highly endemic in China and has recently re-emerged in previously controlled regions. One reason may be, given the current human- and bovine-based control policy, due to a serious lack of knowledge of the potential role for other species of mammals, including dogs, cats and small rodents, in the transmission. This thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of transmission dynamics of S. japonicum by investigating the implications of different reservoirs in the transmission across two contrasting geographical regions/settings: the marshland with the disease persistence versus the hilly region where the disease was once controlled. Longitudinal characterization of S. japonicum infection at both definitive host and intermediate host levels was performed throughout 2006-2007, with the highest prevalence and infection intensity observed in rodents in the hilly region and in the agriculturally important domestic animals (cattle and goats) in the marshland. Three chronobiological trials of cercarial emergence were performed to identify any host (with nocturnal vs diurnal activity)-associated biological traits of the parasite. A late afternoon shedding pattern was observed in the hilly region, compatible with a nocturnal rodent reservoir, and a morning-afternoon dual shedding pattern within marshland areas, consistent with a diurnal bovine major reservoir. Characterization of the parasite population genetic diversity, using microsatellite markers, at both larval stages, also indicated cattle to be the main definitive host reservoir species in the marshland, which was further confirmed by sibling relationship analyses. In the hilly regions, however, epidemiological, biological and molecular data indicated that, in addition to the role of rodents as the main reservoirs to maintain the disease, dogs, with their higher mobility, may also play a significant role in S. japonicum transmission in these areas. The implications of these results, in terms of parasite strain sub-structuring and targeted disease control, were discussed.

description: We analyze hydrodynamic simulations of turbulent, star-forming molecular clouds that are post-processed with the photo-dissociation region astrochemistry code 3D-PDR. We investigate the sensitivity of 15 commonly applied turbulence statistics to post-processing assumptions, namely variations in gas temperature, abundance and external radiation field. We produce synthetic $^{12}$CO(1-0) and CI($^{3}$P$_{1}$-$^{3}$P$_{0}$) observations and examine how the variations influence the resulting emission distributions. To characterize differences between the datasets, we perform statistical measurements, identify diagnostics sensitive to our chemistry parameters, and quantify the statistic responses by using a variety of distance metrics. We find that multiple turbulent statistics are sensitive not only to the chemical complexity but also to the strength of the background radiation field. The statistics with meaningful responses include principal component analysis, spatial power spectrum and bicoherence. A few of the statistics, such as the velocity coordinate spectrum, are primarily sensitive to the type of tracer being utilized, while others, like the delta-variance, strongly respond to the background radiation field. Collectively, these findings indicate that more realistic chemistry impacts the responses of turbulent statistics and is necessary for accurate statistical comparisons between models and observed molecular clouds.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: At the request of Salt River Project, an evaluation of Realignments 1 and 2 of the proposed D-2 alignment of the Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad has been prepared. Archaeological investigations of both realignments were conducted on two occasions. On April 13, 1976, an aerial reconnaissance of the realignments was conducted and on May 3-7, 1976, the proposed locations of 24 bore holes and 19 test pits, located along the realignment were surveyed. Based on information collected from these investigations and data obtained during a previous Museum of Northern Arizona study of the original D-2 alignment, a general evaluation of Realignments 1 and 2 has been prepared. Results of the study suggest that, except for the Hardscrabble Wash area, little difference in the impact on archaeological resources may be expected between the Original Alignment and Realignments 1 and 2.

First order quantum corrections to the classical reflection factor of the sinh-Gordon model

description: The sinh-Gordon model is restricted to a half-line by boundary conditions maintaining integrability. A perturbative calculation of the reflection factor is given to one loop order in the bulk coupling and to first order in the difference of the two parameters introduced at the boundary, providing a further verification of Ghoshal's formula. The calculation is consistent with a conjecture for the general dependence of the reflection factor on the boundary parameters and the bulk coupling.

Signal processing for guided wave structural health monitoring
Creators: name: Cicero, Tindaro
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The importance of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) in several industrial fields has been continuously growing in the last few years with the increasing need for the development of systems able to monitor continuously the integrity of complex structures. In order to be competitive with conventional non destructive evaluation techniques, SHM must be able to effectively detect the occurrence of damage in the structure, giving information regarding the damage location. Ultrasonic guided waves offer the possibility of inspecting large areas of structures from a small number of sensor positions. However, inspection of complex structures is difficult as the reflections from different features overlap. Therefore damage detection becomes an extremely challenging problem and robust signal processing is required in order to resolve strongly overlapping echoes. In our work we have considered at first the possibility of employing a deconvolution approach for enhancing the resolution of ultrasonic time traces and the potential and the limitations of this approach for reliable SHM applications have been shown. The effects of noise on the bandwidth of the typical signals in SHM and the effects of frequency dependent phase shifts are the main detrimental issues that strongly reduce the performance of deconvolution in SHM applications. The second part of this thesis is concerned with the evaluation of a subtraction approach for SHM when changes of environmental conditions are taken into account. Temperature changes result in imperfect subtraction even for an undamaged structure, since temperature changes modify the mechanical properties of the material and therefore the velocity of propagation of ultrasonic guided waves. Compensation techniques have previously been used effectively to overcome temperature effects, in order to reduce the residual in the subtraction. In this work the performance of temperature compensation techniques has been evaluated also in the presence of other detrimental effects, such as liquid loading and different temperature responses of materials in adhesive joints. Numerical simulations and experiments have been conducted and it has been shown that temperature compensation techniques can cope in principle with non temperature effects. It is concluded that subtraction approach represents a promising method for reliable Structural Health Monitoring. Nonetheless the feasibility of a subtraction approach for SHM depends on environmental conditions.
