description: In this interview, Willis P. Butler discusses how he treated narcotic addicts at his clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana. He describes how he detoxed healthy patients, but maintained terminally ill or incurable patients on a steady dose of morphine. He discusses how the clinic aimed to serve residents of Shreveport only, and practices through which clinic staff verified that patients were residents. He discusses how each patient underwent a background check, which also verified their place of residence and employment. He explains how many patients suffered from underlying conditions such as asthma, tuberculosis, rheumatism, and most prominently, venereal disease, and how the clinic treated these conditions in addition to the patients' narcotic addictions. He speculates about the etiology of the drug addiction cases. Butler recalls the strong opposition to his work at the clinic that he received from other doctors in the field. He discusses his clinic being investigated, and being ordered to close

description: Objectives: To estimate the real-world (RW) impact of adherence to once-daily (QD: rivaroxaban and edoxaban) and twice-daily (BID: apixaban and dabigatran) non-vitamin K antagonist (NOACs) on the risk of stroke and major bleeding (MB) among non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients. Methods: First, claims from the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart database (July 2012–December 2016) were analyzed. Adult NVAF patients with ≥2 NOAC dispensings (index date) were included. The relationship between NOAC adherence (proportion of days covered ≥80%) and stroke/MB 1-year post-index was evaluated using adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. Second, the natural logarithm of hazard ratios (HRs) was multiplied to a literature-derived mean adherence difference between QD and BID NOACs yielding stroke and MB rates. Third, these rates were multiplied by 1-year Kaplan-Meier rates of stroke and MB which yielded the number of strokes prevented and MBs caused. Annual cost savings were evaluated using literature-based stroke ($81,414/patient) and MB ($63,905/patient) cost estimates. Results: In total, 54,280 patients were included. HRs for adherent vs non-adherent patients were 0.67 (p p = .179) for MB. The claims-derived 1-year Kaplan-Meier rates were 3.0% and 3.4% for strokes and MBs, respectively. For 100,000 AF patients, 64 strokes were prevented (p n = 15, p Conclusion: QD NOACs prevented a significant number of strokes and caused no significant increase in MBs compared to BID NOACs, which leads to significant net cost savings for NVAF patients in the US.
The application of smoothed particle hydrodynamics to the simulation of multiphase flows through packed beds
Creators: name: Barker, Daniel James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Heap leaching is an important hydrometallurgical minerals processing technique, which involves the irrigation of leaching solution through a packed bed of ore particles. It is a complex process governed by the precise chemistry of the ores and leaching solution, the biological action of bacteria that live on the rocks, and the multiphase fluid flow through and around the rocks. In order to improve the predication of recovery and the performance of the operations, a better understanding of all aspects is vital. Several studies have suggested the importance of the fluid flow and mass transport within the heaps. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method has a proven track record of simulating saturated flows at very small scales for porous media and is a natural tool for gaining an insight into the flows within packed beds. In this thesis we present developments to the handling of wall boundaries in SPH with an aim towards handling arbitrary geometries and improving accuracy. As well as considering the inclusion of surface tension and contact angles for simulating unsaturated flows. A volume factor correction for curved boundaries is developed that demonstrably improves accuracy of simulations, as well as detailing a ‘boundary integral method’ for including wall boundaries. The developed SPH simulation code is used to run a variety of unsteady unsaturated simulations through 2D packed beds, including the effects of molecular diffusion. These simulations demonstrate the important roles that saturation and capillarity play in packed beds, with unsaturated flows having enhanced transport coefficients as compared to higher saturations. These simulations also serve to highlight the fact that even at relatively long time scales, from the perspective of the flow, that the transport is not in the simple Fickian regime, which is often used when modelling heaps and other packed beds at a larger scale.

Earnings persistence and the value premium
Creators: name: Reibel, Andres
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: For many years, academics have argued that firms with high book-to-market ratios yield higher returns than firms with low book-to-market ratios (i.e. the value premium). While there is agreement that a book- to-market based value strategy produces superior returns, academics have neglected to research whether the value premium is a function of other rm characteristics. In this dissertation it is shown that the book-to- market ratio is a function of earnings persistence. Evidence is provided that the value premium in low earnings persistence portfolios is higher because investors misjudge earnings persistence and not because this value strategy is fundamentally riskier.
QCD phase transition with two flavors of Wilson quarks using a RG improved action

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: The finite temperature QCD phase transition is studied on the lattice with degenerate two flavors of Wilson quarks. Motivated by reported strange behaviors with the standard action on lattices with the temporal extention $N_t=4$ and 6, a renormalization group improved gauge action is applied. On an $N_t=4$ lattice, the strange behaviors observed with the standard action are removed with our improved action. The finite temperature transition is continuous in the chiral limit and it becomes quite smooth in all observables we studied when we increase the quark mass by increasing $β$ along the crossover line.

In situ FRET Biosensors for the in vivo measurement of important metabolites during cell culture
Creators: name: Behjousiar, Alireza
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: It has long been a goal of the bioprocessing field to be able to produce proteins in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The current method of choosing high-producing mammalian cells is labour-intensive and time-consuming, representing an opportunity to employ new analytical methodologies in an effort to expedite progress. It would be advantageous to measure the intracellular concentration of key metabolites as the cells are growing. This would allow the user to have more information regarding the wellbeing and growth potential of cells. In this thesis the construction, optimisation and use of FRET biosensors for the in vivo measurement of glucose and glutamine in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells will be discussed. Experiments have been conducted in batch and fed-batch cultures as well as small-scale investigations using the BioLector™. The work presented here suggests the use of genetically encoded FRET biosensors allows for quantification of intracellular metabolite concentrations via FRET ratios during cell growth. These FRET biosensors also show that it may be possible to predict intracellular metabolite concentrations based solely on the FRET ratio of these cells. It has also been suggested that in a smaller volume micro fermentation system (BioLector™) these biosensor transfected cell lines can be used to detect changes in intracellular metabolite levels. These biosensor cell lines were then used for cell line selection, results indicate that the FRET ratio may also be used as a tool to discard various cell lines based on time of progression. Using data in the final study, it may be concluded that the early progressed cell lines may not necessarily be the highest protein producers and with, respect to scFv production, no product specific differences exist. The results indicate the usefulness of these FRET biosensors as tools in aiding the process of information gathering at an early stage during cell line selection.
An Aluminum Enhanced Cloud in a CIV Absorber at z = 1.94

description: In the z=1.94 CIV absorption line system in the spectrum of quasar Q1222+228 (z_em=2.04), we find two clouds which have contrasting physical conditions, although they are only at a 17 km/s velocity separation. In the first cloud SiII, SiIV, and CII are detected, and AlII and AlIII column density limits in conjunction with photoionization models allow us to infer that this cloud has a large Si abundance and a small Al abundance relative to a solar abundance pattern. This pattern resembles that of Galactic metal-poor halo stars, which must have formed from such high redshift gas. The second cloud, in contrast, has detected AlII and AlIII (also SiIV and CII), but no detected SiII. We demonstrate, using photoionization models, that Al/Si must be greater than (Al/Si)_Sun in this unusual cloud. Such a ratio is not found in absorption profiles looking through Milky Way gas. It cannot be explained by dust depletion since Al depletes more severely than Si. Comparing to other Al-rich environments, we speculate about the processes and conditions that could give rise to this abundance pattern.

Properties of the Higgs-like state around 125 GeV in its decay into two photons at the CMS experiment
Creators: name: Kenzie, Matthew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Results are presented of a search for the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson decaying into two photons at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment housed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN. An excess of events is observed over the background expectation with a local significance of 5.7 (lower-case sigma), where the SM expectation is 5.2 (lower-case sigma), constituting a standalone discovery of the particle first observed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in July 2012. Measurements of the particle's signal strength, mass and couplings are presented along with an analysis of its spin. The results show a high level of compatibility with the predictions for a SM Higgs boson. The observed state's signal strength relative to the SM expectation is found to be lower-case sigma/lower-case sigma_{\mathrm{SM}}=1.14^{+0.26}_{-0.23}$. The observed state's mass is found to be $124.72\pm 0.35$~GeV. The signal strength relative to the SM expectation when probing production mechanisms through fermionic modes only is 1.13^{+0.37}_{-0.31}, and from bosonic production modes only is 1.16^{+0.63}_{-0.57}. A spin-2 graviton, produced entirely by gluon fusion, is excluded at 94\%~C.L.~(92\% expected) and a spin-2 graviton, produced entirely by quark-antiquark annihilation, is excluded at 85\%~C.L.~(83\% expected).

description: The crystalline electric field (CEF) of Ce3+ in trigonal symmetry has recently become of some relevance, for instance, in the search of frustrated magnetic systems. Fortunately, it is one of the CEF case in which a manageable analytic solution can be obtained. Here, we present this solution for the general case, and use this result to determine the CEF scheme of the new compound CeIr3Ge7 with the help of T-dependent susceptibility and isothermal magnetization measurements. The resulting CEF parameters B20 = 34.4 K, B40 = 0.82 K and B43 = 67.3 K correspond to an exceptional large CEF splittings of the first and second excited levels, 374 K and 1398 K, and a large mixing between the +-|5/2> and the -+|1/2> states. This indicates a very strong easy plane anisotropy with an unusual small c-axis moment. Using the same general expressions, we show that the properties of the recently reported system CeCd3As3 can also be described by a similar CEF scheme, providing a much simpler explanation for its magnetic properties than the initial proposal. Moreover, a similar strong easy plane anisotropy has also been reported for the two compounds CeAuSn and CePdAl4Ge2, indicating that the CEF scheme elaborated here for CeIr3Ge7 corresponds to an exemplary case for Ce3+ in trigonal symmetry.

Patellofemoral joint biomechanics: computational modelling and clinical applications
Creators: name: Lumpaopong, Punyawan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The patellofemoral joint (PFJ) plays an important role in the extensor mechanism of the knee. Several types of PFJ disorders are commonly found in about 25% of the people. It is believed that patellofemoral (PF) disorders, e.g. excessive lateral pressure syndrome and patellar maltracking, may be associated with articular cartilage contact pressure elevation, which accelerates degenerative joint disease and causes anterior knee pain. To reduce the pressures, a number of anatomical interventions have been applied to correct contact mechanics and patellar tracking. However, the rate of successful surgery is not high because the anatomical complexity of the joint itself and complex symptoms make diagnosis difficult. For this reason, various computational modelling techniques have been developed to assist in diagnosis and prognosis of PF disorders. This research aims to develop a finite element (FE) modelling method and study the feasibility of its clinical applications. The modelling methods may assist in the diagnostic and treatment planning processes. The research was divided into five phases: 1) development of an FE modelling method to analyse PFJ models 2) model validation using in vitro experimental data 3) development of subject-specific input estimation method from routine diagnosis protocols 4) model sensitivity analysis and 5) clinical applications. The FE results included joint contact force, contact pressure, subchondral bone stress and patellar kinematics. The validation and sensitivity analysis showed that the FE modelling method could adequately analyse PFJ biomechanics. Approval for a clinical study was obtained from the National Health Service (NHS) Research Ethics Committee, and groups of control subjects, anterior knee pain (AKP) patients and those with trochlear dysplasia and trochleoplasty were recruited. The modelling method was applied to analyse their knees and predict their non-operative and operative treatment outcomes. The study showed that the biomechanical responses of the PFJ and the treatment evaluations were variable. In particular, it was found that AKP was associated with significant elevation of contact pressure; thus confirming the usefulness of the FE modelling method as a powerful diagnostic and surgical planning tool for subject-specific PFJ treatment.

description: Using extensive room-temperature molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate selective aqueous cation trapping and permeation in graphene-embedded 18-crown-6 ether pores. We show that in the presence of suspended water-immersed crown-porous graphene, K+ ions rapidly organize and trap stably within the pores, in contrast with Na+ ions. As a result, significant qualitative differences in permeation between ionic species arise. The trapped ion occupancy and permeation behaviors are shown to be highly voltage-tunable. Interestingly, we demonstrate the possibility of performing conceptually straightforward ion-based logical operations resulting from controllable membrane charging by the trapped ions. In addition, we show that ionic transistors based on crown-porous graphene are possible, suggesting utility in cascaded ion-based logic circuitry. Our results indicate that in addition to numerous possible applications of graphene-embedded crown ether nanopores, including deionization, ion sensing/sieving, and energy storage, simple ion-based logical elements may prove promising as building blocks for reliable nanofluidic computational devices.

description: We obtained 500-second F606W WFPC2 images of 256 of the nearest (z<0.035) Seyfert 1,Seyfert 2, and starburst galaxies. Less than 10% show tidal features or multiple nuclei. The incidence of inner starburst rings is about 10% in both classes of Sy galaxies. In contrast, galaxies with H II region emission line spectra appear substantially more irregular because of their much higher specific rates of star formation. An unresolved central continuum source in our HST images is a virtually perfect indicator of a Sy1 spectrum. 52% of these Sy1 point sources are saturated in our images; we use their wings to estimate their magnitudes. The converse is not however true, as over a third of Sy's with direct spectroscopic evidence for broad Balmer wings show no nuclear point source. Like the Sy2's, they have central surface brightnesses consistent with those expected for the bulges of normal galaxies. The frequency of bars in Sy1's and 2's and non-Sys are the same. The Sy2 galaxies are significantly more likely to show nuclear dust absorption, especially in lanes and patches which are irregular or reach close to the nucleus. The difference cannot be explained by different average redshifts or selection techniques. This is confirmed by our morphology classifications, which show that Sy1 nuclei reside in earlier type galaxies than Sy2 nuclei. This intrinsic difference in host galaxy properties may undermine the strong unification hypothesis for Sy galaxies that they appear different due to the orientation of their central engine. The excess galactic dust we see in Sy2's may cause substantial absorption which obscures their hypothesized broad emission-line regions and central nonstellar continua. This galactic dust could produce much of the absorption in Sy2 nuclei which had instead been attributed to a thick dusty accretion torus.

description: The mechanisms and evolution of metallic structural colours are of both fundamental and applied interest, yet most work in arthropods has focused on derived butterflies and beetles with distinct hues. In particular, basal hexapods—groups with many scaled, metallic representatives—are currently poorly studied and controversial, with some recent studies suggesting either that thin-film (lamina thickness) or diffraction grating (longitudinal ridges, cross-ribs) elements produce these colours in early Lepidoptera and one springtail (Collembola) species. Especially the collembolan basal scale design, consisting of a single lamina and longitudinal ridges with smooth valleys lacking cross-ribs, makes them an interesting group to explore the mechanisms of metallic coloration. Using microspectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy and finite-difference time-domain optical modelling, we investigated scale colour in seven springtail species that show clear metallic coloration. Reflectance spectra are largely uniform and exhibit a broadband metallic/golden coloration with peaks in the violet/blue region. Our simulations confirm the role of the longitudinal ridges, working in conjunction with thin-film effects to produce a broadband metallic coloration. Broadband coloration occurs through spatial colour mixing, which probably results from nanoscale variation in scale thickness and ridge height and distance. These results provide crucial insights into the colour production mechanisms in a basal scale design and highlight the need for further investigation of scaled, basal arthropods.

description: The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will be the world's largest radio telescope, will enhance and boost a large number of science projects, including the search for pulsars. The frequency domain acceleration search is an efficient approach to search for binary pulsars. A significant part of it is the harmonic-summing module, which is the research subject of this paper. Most of the operations in the harmonic-summing module are relatively cheap operations for FPGAs. The main challenge is the large number of point accesses to off-chip memory which are not consecutive but irregular. Although harmonic-summing alone might not be targeted for FPGA acceleration, it is a part of the pulsar search pipeline that contains many other compute-intensive modules, which are efficiently executed on FPGA. Hence having the harmonic-summing also on the FPGA will avoid off-board communication, which could destroy other acceleration benefits. Two types of harmonic-summing approaches are investigated in this paper: 1) storing intermediate data in off-chip memory and 2) processing the input signals directly without storing. For the second type, two approaches of caching data are proposed and evaluated: 1) preloading points that are frequently touched 2) preloading all necessary points that are used to generate a chunk of output points. OpenCL is adopted to implement the proposed approaches. In an extensive experimental evaluation, the same OpenCL kernel codes are evaluated on FPGA boards and GPU cards. Regarding the proposed preloading methods, preloading all necessary points method while reordering the input signals is faster than all the other methods. While in raw performance a single FPGA board cannot compete with a GPU, in terms of energy dissipation, GPU costs up to 2.6x times more energy than that of FPGAs in executing the same NDRange kernels.

The role of Natural Killer cells in allergic airway inflammation
Creators: name: Farhadi, Nazanin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate cells of the immune system and constitute 10% of lung lymphocytes. Increasing evidence implicates a role for innate immunity in the pathogenesis of asthma and although there is evidence of a role for NK cells in the development of allergic inflammation, the mechanisms by which NK cells contribute to allergy is not known. To characterise the NK cell response and determine the phenotype of NK cells in allergic pulmonary inflammation we employed a model in which mice are dosed intranasally 3 times a week for 3 weeks with house dust mite (HDM) extract. Numbers of NK cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) increased over the time course of HDM challenge and followed a similar trend to eosinophils and Th2 cells. Airway NK cells were activated and expressed NKG2D and granzyme B. In addition, expression of the NKG2D ligand (MULT-1) was upregulated in the lungs of mice treated with HDM. To determine the importance of the NKG2D receptor in allergic inflammation, the HDM model was tested on NKG2D knock out (KO) mice. There was a dramatic reduction in the extent of the inflammatory response in the absence of this receptor, including a reduction in BAL eosinophilia, Th2 responses and serum IgE. Adoptive transfer of wild type (WT) NK cells into NKG2D KO mice restored allergic inflammatory responses to HDM, whereas transfer of granzyme B-/- NK cells did not, demonstrating the requirement for NK cell expression of NKG2D and granzyme B. Detailed phenotypic analysis of NKp46+ cells in the HDM model showed that NKp46+ cells in BAL and lung consisted of RORγt+ and RORγt- subsets. NKp46+RORγt- cells resembled conventional NK cells as they express NKG2D and granzyme B, however NKp46+RORγt+ had similar phenotype to type-3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) cells and produced Th2 cytokines upon HDM challenge. We have shown for the first time that NK cells promote allergic lung inflammation via NKG2D and granzyme B production. We have also described for the first time the presence of NKp46+RORγt+ cells in the airways and lung which identifies potential novel therapeutic targets.

description: Pre-combustion decarbonisation is one of the three main routes widely discussed for CO2 capture from fossil fuels. This thesis focuses on the development of a catalytic hollow fibre membrane reactor for the combined steam methane reforming (SMR) and water-gas shift (WGS) reaction, using a Ni-based catalyst, and at a temperature window suitable for harvesting pure H2, a clean energy carrier, from the reaction by a Pd membrane. Apart from developing the catalyst and the Pd-based composite membrane, which are normally considered as the two essential components of a membrane reactor involving hydrogen separation, this study introduces the concept of incorporating the catalyst into a micro-structured ceramic hollow fibre substrate to promote mass transfer efficiency. Meanwhile, the impact of each fabrication step, i.e. catalyst composition and preparation, ceramic hollow fibre fabrication, catalyst incorporation and electroless plating of Pd membranes, on the assembly and final performance of the catalytic hollow fibre membrane reactor was systematically evaluated. In contrast to previous studies involving micro-structured ceramic hollow fibres for catalytic reactions, the one developed in this study possesses a plurality of unique micro-channels, with significant openings on the inner surface of the ceramic hollow fibre. In addition to reduced mass transfer resistance for both catalytic reaction and hydrogen permeation, a microstructure of this type significantly facilitates catalyst incorporation and, as a results, enable the application of this hollow fibres for a wider spectrum of catalytic reactions.

Chromospheric Ca II H and K Emission Among Subdwarfs

description: Echelle spectra have been obtained of the Ca II H and K lines for a sample of metal-poor subdwarf stars as well as for a number of nearby Population I dwarfs selected from among those included in the Mount Wilson HK survey. The main conclusion of this paper is that Ca II H- and K-line emission does occur among subdwarfs. It is particularly notable among those subdwarfs with colours of B-V > 0.75; all such stars observed exhibit chromospheric emission, although emission is observed among some subdwarfs bluer than this colour. The Ca II K emission profile in most subdwarfs exhibits an asymmetry of V/R > 1, similar to that seen in the integrated light of the solar disk. Two quantitative indicators of the contrast between the peaks in the emission profile and the neighbouring photospheric line profile are introduced. Measurements of these indicators show that the level of Ca II emission among the subdwarfs is similar to that among low-activity Population I dwarfs.

description: A life-cycle assessment of commuting alternatives is conducted that compares six transportation modes (car, bus, train, subway, motorcycle, and bicycle) for eight impact indicators. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions and health impacts are incorporated in the assessment using intake fractions that differentiate between urban and nonurban emissions, combined with an effect factor. The potential benefits of different strategies for reducing environmental impacts are illustrated. The results demonstrate the need for comprehensive approaches that avoid problem-shifting among transportation-related strategies. Policies aiming to improve the environmental performance of urban transportation should target strategies that decrease local emissions, life-cycle impacts and health effects.

description: Lüscher's local bosonic algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations of quantum field theories with fermions is applied to the simulation of a possibly supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a Majorana fermion in the adjoint representation. Combined with a correction step in a two-step polynomial approximation scheme, the obtained algorithm seems to be promising and could be competitive with more conventional algorithms based on discretized classical (``molecular dynamics'') equations of motion. The application of the considered polynomial approximation scheme to optimized hopping parameter expansions is also discussed.

description: The mechanisms and evolution of metallic structural colours are of both fundamental and applied interest, yet most work in arthropods has focused on derived butterflies and beetles with distinct hues. In particular, basal hexapods—groups with many scaled, metallic representatives—are currently poorly studied and controversial, with some recent studies suggesting either that thin film (lamina thickness) or diffraction grating elements (longitudinal ridges, crossribs) produce these colours in early Lepidoptera and one springtail (Collembola) species. Especially the Collembolan basal scale design, consisting of a single lamina and longitudinal ridges with smooth valleys lacking crossribs, makes them an interesting group to explore the mechanisms of metallic coloration. Using microspectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy and finite-difference time-domain optical modelling, we investigated scale colour in seven springtail species that show clear metallic coloration. Reflectance spectra are largely uniform and exhibit a broadband metallic/golden coloration with peaks in the violet/blue region. Our simulations confirm the role of the longitudinal ridges, working in conjunction with thin-film effects to produce a broadband metallic coloration. Broadband coloration occurs through spatial colour mixing which likely results from nanoscale variation in scale thickness and ridge height and distance. These results provide crucial insights into the colour production mechanisms in a basal scale design and highlight the need for further investigation of scaled, basal arthropods.

description: We describe an automated method for detecting clusters of galaxies in imaging and redshift galaxy surveys. The Adaptive Matched Filter (AMF) method utilizes galaxy positions, magnitudes, and---when available---photometric or spectroscopic redshifts to find clusters and determine their redshift and richness. The AMF can be applied to most types of galaxy surveys: from two-dimensional (2D) imaging surveys, to multi-band imaging surveys with photometric redshifts of any accuracy (2.5D), to three-dimensional (3D) redshift surveys. The AMF can also be utilized in the selection of clusters in cosmological N-body simulations. The AMF identifies clusters by finding the peaks in a cluster likelihood map generated by convolving a galaxy survey with a filter based on a model of the cluster and field galaxy distributions. In tests on simulated 2D and 2.5D data with a magnitude limit of r' ~ 23.5, clusters are detected with an accuracy of Delta z ~ 0.02 in redshift and ~10% in richness to z < 0.5. Detecting clusters at higher redshifts is possible with deeper surveys. In this paper we present the theory behind the AMF and describe test results on synthetic galaxy catalogs.

description: We present results of a high statistics study of $f_π$, $f_K$, $f_D$, $f_{D_s}$, and $f_V^{-1}$ in the quenched approximation using Wilson fermions at $β=6.0$ on $32^3 \times 64$ lattices. We find that the various sources of systematic errors (due to setting the quark masses, renormalization constant, and lattice scale) are now larger than the statistical errors. Our best estimates, without extrapolation to the continuum limit, are $f_π=134(4) \MeV$, $f_K =159(3) \MeV$, $f_D = 229(7) \MeV$, $f_{D_s} = 260(4) \MeV$, and $f_V^{-1}(m_ρ) = 0.33(1)$, where only statistical errors have been shown. We discuss the extrapolation to the continuum limit by combining our data with those from other collaborations.

description: In this letter, we analyze a genetic toggle switch recently studied in the literature where the expression of two repressor proteins can be tuned by controlling two different inputs, namely the concentration of two inducer molecules in the growth medium of the cells. Specifically, we investigate the dynamics of this system when subject to pulse-width modulated (PWM) input. We provide an analytical model that captures qualitatively the experimental observations reported in the literature and approximates its asymptotic behavior. We also discuss the effect that the system parameters have on the prediction accuracy of the model. Moreover, we propose a possible external control strategy to regulate the mean value of the fluorescence of the reporter proteins when the cells are subject to such periodic forcing.
