Computational approaches for metagenomic analysis of high-throughput sequencing data
Creators: name: Ainsworth, David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: High-throughput DNA sequencing has revolutionised microbiology and is the foundation on which the nascent field of metagenomics has been built. This ability to cheaply sample billions of DNA reads directly from environments has democratised sequencing and allowed researchers to gain unprecedented insights into diverse microbial communities. These technologies however are not without their limitations: the short length of the reads requires the production of vast amounts of data to ensure all information is captured. This “data deluge” has been a major bottleneck and has necessitated the development of new algorithms for analysis. Sequence alignment methods provide the most information about the composition of a sample as they allow both taxonomic and functional classification but algorithms are prohibitively slow. This inefficiency has led to the reliance on faster algorithms which only produce simple taxonomic classification or abundance estimation, losing the valuable information given by full alignments against annotated genomes. This thesis will describe k-SLAM, a novel ultra-fast method for the alignment and taxonomic classification of metagenomic data. Using a k -mer based method k-SLAM achieves speeds three orders of magnitude faster than current alignment based approaches, allowing a full taxonomic classification and gene identification to be tractable on modern large datasets. The alignments found by k-SLAM can also be used to find variants and identify genes, along with their nearest taxonomic origins. A novel pseudo-assembly method produces more specific taxonomic classifications on species which have high sequence identity within their genus. This provides a significant (up to 40%) increase in accuracy on these species. Also described is a re-analysis of a Shiga-toxin producing E. coli O104:H4 isolate via alignment against bacterial and viral species to find antibiotic resistance and toxin producing genes. k-SLAM has been used by a range of research projects including FLORINASH and is currently being used by a number of groups.

description: Genome evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) produces new strains resistant to various pre-existing anti-tubercular drugs. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore potent compounds with the most negligible side effects and effective Mtb inhibition. Mtb PyrG (CTP synthase) is a crucial enzyme for the conversion of the uridine triphosphate (UTP) into cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and is essential for the growth of Mtb. Thus, in this study, phytochemicals of Withania somnifera (W. somnifera) were screened to find the potential inhibitors against Mtb PyrG. Molecular docking resulted in the identification of quercetin 3-rutinoside-7-glucoside, rutin, chlorogenic acid and isochlorogenic acid C with a substantial docking score (from −12.6 to −10.8 kcal/mol) contributed by significant intermolecular interactions. Furthermore, 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation, ADME analysis and free binding energy calculations support the stability of docked complexes and drug-likeness for selected compounds, respectively. Collectively, these findings suggest that phytochemicals present in W. somnifera can be considered for further evaluation against Mtb in a series of in vitro and in vivo models.

The Formation of High-Mass Black Holes in Low Mass X-ray Binaries

description: In this note we suggest that high-mass black holes; i.e., black holes of several solar masses, can be formed in binaries with low-mass main-sequence companions, provided that the hydrogen envelope of the massive star is removed in common envelope evolution which begins only after the massive star has finished He core burning. That is, the massive star is in the supergiant stage, which lasts only $\sim 10^4$ years, so effects of mass loss by He winds are small. Since the removal of the hydrogen envelope of the massive star occurs so late, it evolves essentially as a single star, rather than one in a binary. Thus, we can use evolutionary calculations of Woosley & Weaver (1995) of single stars. We find that the black holes in transient sources can be formed from stars with ZAMS masses in the interval $20-35\msun$. The black hole mass is only slightly smaller than the He core mass, typically $\sim 7\msun$.

description: A curious feature of organ and organoid morphogenesis is that in certain cases, spatial oscillations in the thickness of the growing "film" are out-of-phase with the deformation of the slower-growing "substrate," while in other cases, the oscillations are in-phase. The former cannot be explained by elastic bilayer instability, and contradict the notion that there is a universal mechanism by which brains, intestines, teeth, and other organs develop surface wrinkles and folds. Inspired by the microstructure of the embryonic cerebellum, we develop a new model of 2d morphogenesis in which system-spanning elastic fibers endow the organ with a preferred radius, while a separate fiber network resides in the otherwise fluid-like film at the outer edge of the organ and resists thickness gradients thereof. The tendency of the film to uniformly thicken or thin is described via a "growth potential". Several features of cerebellum, +blebbistatin organoid, and retinal fovea morphogenesis, including out-of-phase behavior and a film thickness amplitude that is comparable to the radius amplitude, are readily explained by our simple analytical model, as may be an observed scale-invariance in the number of folds in the cerebellum. We also study a nonlinear variant of the model, propose further biological and bio-inspired applications, and address how our model is and is not unique to the developing nervous system.

description: In this paper we present new CCD investigations of RR Lyrae pulsators in the Oo.I globular cluster M5. B V curves of light for 15 RR Lyrae are presented. With the addition of further 11 curves of light by Storm, Carney and Beck (1991) one is dealing with a sample of 26 well studied cluster pulsators whose properties have been implemented with similar data for RR Lyrae in clusters M3, M15, M68 to allow a comparison with the theoretical scenario recently presented by Bono and Stellingwerf (1994). On this basis, we discuss the distribution of stars in the period amplitude diagram, disclosing a substantial reduction of Sandage's period shift. We suggest that theoretical constraints concerning periods and amplitudes could allow information on masses and luminosity of the pulsators directly from Bailey's diagram only. Static temperatures have been derived for all stars in the sample, discussing the dependence on the temperature of the observed pulsational properties.

Negotiating ‘Asianness’ at the Tokyo International Film Festival
Creators: name: De Angelis, Eugenio
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

In this paper I will trace a brief history of major Asian film festivals to understand how the notion of ‘Asianness’ evolved over time and how it is expressed nowadays through programming practices and film markets. Then I will focus on the case study of the Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) as a problematic site where cultural and economic dynamics converge. As an A-category festival, TIFF has to balance its international status with regional relevance, negotiating ‘Asianness’ in a complex relationship involving the local film industry, since questions on ‘Asian cinema’ are deeply linked to the national. Finally, I will draw some conclusions, discussing how TIFF relates to other major film festivals in Asia, where ‘Asianness’ has been used as a shared effort to distinguish themselves from the paradigm set by European film festivals. However, this is an ongoing process, TIFF struggles to use ‘Asianness’ as a unifying element and the specific interests of each festival obstruct the possibility to create a more systematic trans-Asian model.

description: Neutral hydrogen (HI) has been detected in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor with the 64 m Parkes single dish and mapped with the Australia Telescope synthesis array. Most of the detected HI is in two clouds \sim 15'-20' away from the optical center. The gas is observed at the same systemic velocity than the stars but at \ge 125 \kms away from the Magellanic Stream components in that region. A lower limit to the HI mass of 3.0 \times 10^4 \Msol is derived from the synthesis observation for an M_HI/L_B \simeq 0.02. This amount of HI is compatible with mass loss expected from normal giants even if only 10% of the gas is retained by the galaxy in its neutral form.

The activation and fixation of dinitrogen by iron phosphine complexes
Creators: name: Hill, Peter
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Dinitrogen gas is the source of all biologically and industrially fixed nitrogen, yet the activation of this highly unreactive molecule is a significant challenge in modern chemistry. The current industrial route to fixed nitrogen compounds is the Haber-Bosch process, a reaction which has remained largely unaltered since the early 20th century. The catalytic fixation of N2 by molecular Fe complexes, by contrast, is a young and rapidly developing field, yet thus far few complexes can effect this transformation. This thesis explores the reactivity of electron-rich Fe phosphine complexes as potential catalysts for this transformation.

description: The anomalous $4π$-periodic ac Josephson effect, a hallmark of topological Josephson junctions, was experimentally observed in a quantum spin Hall insulator. This finding is unexpected due to time-reversal symmetry preventing the backscattering of the helical edge states and therefore suppressing the $4π$-periodic component of the Josephson current. Here we analyze the two-particle inelastic scattering as a possible explanation for this experimental finding. We show that a sufficiently strong inelastic scattering restores the $4π$-periodic component of the current beyond the short Josephson junction regime. Its signature is an observable peak in the power spectrum of the junction at half the Josephson frequency. We propose to use the exponential dependence of the peak width on the applied bias and the magnitude of the dc current as means of verifying that the inelastic scattering is indeed the mechanism responsible for the $4π$-periodic signal.

Optimizing Higher-Order Lagrangian Perturbation Theory for Standard CDM and BSI models

description: We investigate the performance of Lagrangian perturbation theory up to the second order for two scenarios of cosmological large-scale structure formation, SCDM (standard cold dark matter) and BSI (broken scale invariance). The latter model we study as a representative of COBE-normalized CDM models which fit the small-scale power of galaxy surveys. In this context we optimize the performance of the Lagrangian perturbation schemes by smoothing the small-scale fluctuations in the initial data. The results of the so obtained Lagrangian mappings are computed for a set of COBE-normalized SCDM and BSI initial data of different sizes and at different times. We compare these results against those obtained with a numerical PM-code. We find an excellent performance of the optimized Lagrangian schemes down to scales close to the correlation length. This is explained by the counterintuitive fact that nonlinearities in the model can produce more small-scale power, if initially such power is removed. The optimization scheme can be expressed in a way which is independent of the type of fluctuation spectrum and of the size of the simulations.

description: I consider the thermal conductivity and shear viscosity of leptons (electrons and muons) in the nucleon NS cores where protons are in the superconducting state. I restrict the consideration to the case of not too high temperatures $T\lesssim 0.35T_{\mathrm{c}p}$, where $T_{\mathrm{c}p}$ is the critical temperature of the proton pairing. In this case, lepton collisions with protons can be neglected. Charged lepton collision frequencies are mainly determined by the transverse plasmon exchange and are mediated by the character of the transverse plasma screening. In our previous works [Shternin \& Yakovlev, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 75} 103004 (2007); {\bf 78} 063006 (2008)] the superconducting proton contribution to the transverse screening was considered in the Pippard limit $Δ\ll \hbar q v_{\mathrm{F}p}$, where $Δ$ is the proton pairing gap, $v_{\mathrm{F}p}$ is the proton Fermi velocity, and $\hbar q$ is the typical transferred momentum in collisions. However, for large critical temperatures (large $Δ$) and relatively small densities (small $q$) the Pippard limit may become invalid. In the present study I show that this is indeed the case and that the older calculations severely underestimated the screening in a certain range of the parameters appropriate to the neutron star cores. As a consequence, the kinetic coefficients at $T\ll T_{\mathrm{c}p}$ are found to be smaller than in previous calculations.

Adaptive shock control bumps
Creators: name: Jinks, Edward
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The evolution of Adaptive Shock Control Bumps (SCB) presented in this work is a result of an investigation into transonic flow control devices. The primary application is on transonic passenger jet aircraft during cruise and within supersonic intakes. It is in these locations that normal shocks of strength Mach 1.2-1.5 typically occur which SCB aim to manipulate and exploit. The original concept was developed by [Ashill et al., 1992] featured a flexible plate with actuators beneath the surface. The complex fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between the shock and plate has been a focus of this work with panel flutter studies heavily supplementing traditional SCB design methods. Adaptive SCB represent a required approach in order to negate poor off-design performance of static SCB. A coupled 2D aero-structural solver was developed using OpenFOAM [2017] and ABAQUS [2007] which provides a tool to evaluate the effects of varying plate proper- ties. Cavity pressure, plate length, thickness and material stiffness were found to be influential in the overall performance with four test cases developed. With lengths, lb = 150 − 200 mm and thicknesses t = 0.4 − 0.6 mm using Al-7075-T6, experimental models were produced and tested in a Mach 1.4 blowdown supersonic wind tunnel. These were sized using the coupled solver to deform passively and trigger the bifurca- tion of the shock. This new type of device showed potential for a passive adaptive SCB however all suffered from varying amounts of reacceleration over the rear surface. An aero-structural optimisation procedure is performed to position displacement con- straints beneath the flexible plate to control surface curvature. This was the driving force behind the detrimental reacceleration. The optimiser used a new performance metric which focussed upon smearing the adverse pressure gradient across the SCB which reduced the likelihood of plastic deformation. Optimal SCB have been shown to deploy and retract beneath an unsteady shock and successfully bifurcated the shock on demand.

NEAR-INFRARED PHOTOMETRY OF THE CORE-COLLAPSED METAL-POOR GLOBULAR CLUSTERS NGC5946 AND NGC7099

description: Moderately deep near-infrared images are used to investigate the photometric properties and spatial distribution of bright giants near the centers of the core-collapsed globular clusters NGC5946 and NGC7099. The former cluster is located at a low Galactic latitude and is heavily reddened; nevertheless, the K, J-K color-magnitude diagram (CMD) shows a well-defined giant branch, with a width +/- 0.05 magnitudes in J-K. Most of the observed width is due to differential reddening. The upper giant branch is relatively steep, and comparisons with less reddened clusters indicate that (1) NGC5946 must be very metal-poor, with [Fe/H] ~ -2, and (2) E(B-V) ~ 0.6. The distance to NGC5946 derived using the near-infrared brightness of the giant branch tip is in excellent agreement with that computed from the V brightness of the HB if E(B-V) = 0.6. The NGC7099 giant branch terminates ~ 1 mag fainter in K than the expected tip brightness. The integrated J-K color of NGC7099 changes with radius, such that Delta (J-K) /Delta log(r) = 0.05 - 0.09, depending on the technique used to measure colors. Similar radial variations in stellar content might be expected in NGC5946; however, the integrated J-K color of this cluster remains constant with radius and, after removing the brightest resolved stars, a color gradient is seen that is in the opposite sense to that in NGC7099. The relative density of bright giant branch stars also remains constant within 30 arcsec of the center of NGC5946. Therefore, it is concluded that NGC5946 does not contain stellar content gradients similar to those seen in NGC7099 and other post core-collapsed clusters.

Through this paper, I intend to analyse the state of Japanese learning through virtual reality technologies, avoiding as much as possible the analysis of prototypes and laboratory experiments, focusing instead on a case study that implements software and hardware already present on the consumer market. After analysing the VR technology currently available to end-users and its hardware, which has lately increased in popularity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the specificities of virtual reality compared to other communication technologies, I will proceed to the analysis of the case study Altspace VR, a social VR software used also by an active Japanese learning community, to try to identify the characteristics that could make this technology particularly suitable for language learning.

description: How stars are born from clouds of gas is a rich physics problem whose solution will inform our understanding of not just stars but also planets, galaxies, and the universe itself. Star formation is stupendously inefficient. Take the Milky Way. Our galaxy contains about a billion solar masses of fresh gas available to form stars-and yet it produces only one solar mass of new stars a year. Accounting for that inefficiency is one of the biggest challenges of modern astrophysics. Why should we care about star formation? Because the process powers the evolution of galaxies and sets the initial conditions for planet formation and thus, ultimately, for life.

Quantitative Morphology of Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field

description: We measure quantitative structural parameters of galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) on the drizzled F814W images. Our structural parameters are based on a two-component surface brightness made up of a Sérsic profile and an exponential profile. We compare our results to the visual classification of van den Bergh et al. (1996) and the $C-A$ classification of Abraham et al. (1996a). Our morphological analysis of the galaxies in the HDF indicates that the spheroidal galaxies, defined here as galaxies with a dominant bulge profile, make up for only a small fraction, namely 8% of the galaxy population down to m$_{F814W}(AB)$ = 26.0. We show that the larger fraction of early-type systems in the van den Bergh sample is primarily due to the difference in classification of 40% of small round galaxies with half-light radii < 0\arcsecpoint 31. Although these objects are visually classified as elliptical galaxies, we find that they are disk-dominated with bulge fractions < 0.5. Given the existing large dataset of HDF galaxies with measured spectroscopic redshifts, we are able to determine that the majority of distant galaxies ($z>2$) from this sample are disk-dominated. Our analysis reveals a subset of HDF galaxies which have profiles flatter than a pure exponential profile.

Stochastic maximum principle and dynamic convex duality in continuous-time constrained portfolio optimization
Creators: name: Li, Yusong
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: This thesis seeks to gain further insight into the connection between stochastic optimal control and forward and backward stochastic differential equations and its applications in solving continuous-time constrained portfolio optimization problems. Three topics are studied in this thesis. In the first part of the thesis, we focus on stochastic maximum principle, which seeks to establish the connection between stochastic optimal control and backward stochastic differential differential equations coupled with static optimality condition on the Hamiltonian. We prove a weak neccessary and sufficient maximum principle for Markovian regime switching stochastic optimal control problems. Instead of insisting on the maxi- mum condition of the Hamiltonian, we show that 0 belongs to the sum of Clarkes generalized gradient of the Hamiltonian and Clarkes normal cone of the control constraint set at the optimal control. Under a joint concavity condition on the Hamiltonian and a convexity condition on the terminal objective function, the necessary condition becomes sufficient. We give four examples to demonstrate the weak stochastic maximum principle. In the second part of the thesis, we study a continuous-time stochastic linear quadratic control problem arising from mathematical finance. We model the asset dynamics with random market coefficients and portfolio strategies with convex constraints. Following the convex duality approach,we show that the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for both the primal and dual problems can be written in terms of processes satisfying a system of FBSDEs together with other conditions. We characterise explicitly the optimal wealth and portfolio processes as functions of adjoint processes from the dual FBSDEs in a dynamic fashion and vice versa. We apply the results to solve quadratic risk minimization problems with cone-constraints and derive the explicit representations of solutions to the extended stochastic Riccati equations for such problems. In the final section of the thesis, we extend the previous result to utility maximization problems. After formulating the primal and dual problems, we construct the necessary and sufficient conditions for both the primal and dual problems in terms of FBSDEs plus additional conditions. Such formulation then allows us to explicitly characterize the primal optimal control as a function of the adjoint processes coming from the dual FBSDEs in a dynamic fashion and vice versa. Moreover, we also find that the optimal primal wealth process coincides with the optimal adjoint process of the dual problem and vice versa. Finally we solve three constrained utility maximization problems and contrasts the simplicity of the duality approach we propose with the technical complexity in solving the primal problem directly.
Observation of Infrared and Radio Lines of Molecules toward GL2591 and Comparison to Physical and Chemical Models

description: We have observed rovibrational transitions of acetylene and HCN near 13 microns in absorption toward GL2591. We also observed rotational lines of CS, HCN, H2CO, and HCO+. The combined data are analyzed in terms of models with a cloud envelope with density gradients and discrete regions of hot, dense gas, probably near the infrared source. The abundance of HCN is enhanced by a factor of 400 in the gas producing the infrared absorption, in agreement with chemical models which involve depletion of molecules onto grains and subsequent sublimation when temperatures are raised.

Neutrino oscillations and gamma-ray bursts
Creators: name: Kluzniak, W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: If the ordinary neutrinos oscillate into a sterile flavor in a manner consistent with the Super-Kamiokande data on the zenith-angle dependence of atmospheric mu-neutrino flux, an energy sufficient to power a typical cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) (about 10^{52} erg) can be carried by sterile neutrinos away from the source and deposited in a region relatively free of baryons. Hence, ultra-relativistic bulk motion (required by the theory of and observations of GRBs and their afterglows) can easily be achieved in the vicinity of plausible sources of GRBs. Oscillations between sterile and ordinary neutrinos would thus provide a solution to the ``baryon-loading problem'' in the theory of GRBs.
Transforming intensive care data to inform clinical insights: using predictive analytics for traumatic brain injury patients
Creators: name: Mulcahy, Susan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are monitored closely and continuously over several days, yet many of these patients develop secondary insults in the brain. Because the patient is either unconscious or sedated, the patient's condition may be worsening without other measurable signs of a failing condition and the prognosis is elusive. This thesis arises from the viewpoint that examining physiological signals recorded from the patient at high time resolution could give earlier insight into the patient's condition. This research explores heart rate variability, derived from arterial blood pressure signals, using the standard deviation of 5-minute blocks (SDNN5) of heartbeat intervals in the time domain. Significant challenges were met in obtaining real-time high resolution clinical data suitable for computational analysis. Many approaches were attempted including a direct connection through MATLAB, using the Philips Data Export Interface Programming Guide, and third-party softwares Rugloop and ixTrend. The latter, ixTrend, was found to be the most effective. The next step was to establish a data pipeline to import the data in the correct digital format and to organise the multitude of large clinical datasets into usable files (up to 21 million rows of data per file). A binary statistical classifier was developed in MATLAB to predict ICU outcomes of TBI (survivors and nonsurvivors) using supervised machine learning. This measure, SDNN5, is then used to investigate the effect of various standard interventions commonly found in the ICU, where quantifiable measures have previously been lacking. The results for therapeutic hypothermia showed no correlation but a clear effect was seen from endotracheal suctioning. Diurnal variations seem to be overridden by the clinical schedule of medication administration. Lastly, no correlation is seen between spreading depolarisations in the brain (measured by electrocorticography (ECoG)) and SDNN5.
Electron-Phonon Scattering in the Presence of Soft Modes and Electron Mobility in SrTiO$_{3}$ Perovskite from First Principles

description: Structural phase transitions and soft phonon modes pose a longstanding challenge to computing electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions in strongly anharmonic crystals. Here we develop a first-principles approach to compute e-ph scattering and charge transport in materials with anharmonic lattice dynamics. Our approach employs renormalized phonons to compute the temperature-dependent e-ph coupling for all phonon modes, including the soft modes associated with ferroelectricity and phase transitions. We show that the electron mobility in cubic SrTiO$_{3}$ is controlled by scattering with longitudinal optical phonons at room temperature and with ferroelectric soft phonons below 200~K. Our calculations can accurately predict the temperature dependence of the electron mobility in SrTiO$_{3}$ between 150$-$300~K, and reveal the microscopic origin of its roughly $T^{-3}$ trend. Our approach enables first-principles calculations of e-ph interactions and charge transport in broad classes of crystals with phase transitions and strongly anharmonic phonons.

Magnetic and Spin History of Very Young Pulsars
Creators: name: Muslimov, A.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: After Michel (1994) introduced a phenomenological picture of `rapid magnetization' of newly born neutron stars (NSs), Muslimov & Page (1995) suggested that the physical conditions accompanying the formation of a NS may result in the surface magnetic field of the NS having a low value (~ 10^8 - 10^9 G) while the bulk of the flux is submerged under the stellar surface. The subsequent growth of the surface magnetic field occurs owing to ohmic diffusion of a strong internal field (10^12-10^13 G) and proceeds over a time scale of 10^2-10^3 yrs, depending on the early thermal history of the NS, the initial distribution of magnetic flux and the electrical resistivity in the stellar crust, as well as on the details of the stellar structure. Referring to this suggestion, we perform numerical computations to demonstrate its possible relevance to young radio pulsars. In our calculations, we use different NS structures based on a model of dense matter presenting a phase transition to kaon condensation which implies both slow and fast neutrino cooling, depending on the stellar mass. We present sequences of secular evolution of the surface magnetic field, spin-down luminosity, spin period, `braking index', and spin-down age best matching the corresponding measured quantities for PSR 0531+21 (Crab), PSR 0540-69, and PSR 1509-58. We conclude that the effect under consideration reproduces remarkably well both the observed rotational characteristics and derived values of the surface magnetic field strength for these radio pulsars, the only ones having reliable measurements of the braking indices. In addition, our analysis suggests that the NSs in the Crab and PSR 0540-69 have experienced fast neutrino cooling while the NS in PSR 1509-58 has undergone slow cooling and hence has a mass below the critical mass.
