Essays on empirical asset pricing
Creators: name: Krecetovs, Aleksejs
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis we look to advance our understanding of how asset prices fluctuate and why. In the first chapter we provide an extensive survey on the time-series and cross-sectional variation in average returns on currency carry trade strategies. We then identify a research niche that examines the relation between uncertainty, as measured by survey forecasts' dispersion, and the exchange rates. Subsequently, in the second chapter we find that forecast disagreements on key macro variables -- economic activity growth, short-term interest rates and current account positions -- help explain a considerable part of the time variation in FX volatility, and even allow FX volatility forecasts. We continue exploring the FX market in the third chapter, which studies empirically the relation between macro uncertainty shocks and the cross-section of currency excess returns. We measure uncertainty over macro variables such as current account, inflation rate, short-term interest rate, real economic growth and foreign exchange rate using the cross-sectional dispersion of market participants' expectations from two international surveys of economic forecasts. We find evidence that typical investment currencies deliver low returns whereas funding currencies offer a hedge when current account uncertainty is unexpectedly high. In contrast, uncertainty over other macro indicators displays no significant relation with the cross-section of currency excess returns. We also find that current account uncertainty subsumes the information content of foreign exchange rate volatility risk. The forth and final chapter looks at some claims made about the price acceleration giving an informative trading signal. We built several empirical measures of acceleration and compared them to the price signals from the previous academic literature on the equity market. We do find that acceleration signal leads to the construction of the long-short (LMH) trading strategies that deliver high profits. Moreover, those profits are not explained by the state-of-the-art equity factor models. However, all of the LMH profitability and cross-sectional variation in portfolios' mean returns are reconciled once we add our $la5$ factor -- a simple reversal strategy with a one trading week lookback horizon and one month holding period -- to the off-the-shelf models. Taken together, our results cast doubt on acceleration being a separate phenomenon.

description: We derive a simple tensor algebraic expression of the modified Eshelby tensor for a spherical inclusion embedded in an arbitrarily anisotropic matrix in terms of three tensor quantities (the 4th order identity tensor, the elastic stiffness tensor, and the Eshelby tensor) and two scalar quantities (the inclusion radius and interfacial spring constant), when the interfacial damage is modelled as a linear-spring layer of vanishing thickness. We validate the expression for a triclinic crystal involving 21 independent elastic constants against finite element analysis (FEA).

description: A total of 235 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from two different soft X-ray surveys (the ROSAT Deep Survey -DRS- and the ROSAT International X-ray Optical Survey -RIXOS-) with redshifts between 0 and 3.5 are used to study the clustering of X-ray selected AGN and its evolution. A 2 sigma significant detection of clustering of such objects is found on scales <40-80/h Mpc in the RIXOS sample, while no clustering is detected on any scales in the DRS sample. Assuming a single power law model for the spatial correlation function (SCF), quantitative limits on the AGN clustering have been obtained: a comoving correlation length 1.5

description: We study the Roper excitation in the $(α,α')$ reaction. We consider all processes which may be relevant in the Roper excitation region, namely, Roper excitation in the target, Roper excitation in the projectile, and double $Δ$ excitation processes. The theoretical investigation shows that the Roper excitation in the proton target mediated by an isoscalar exchange is the dominant mechanism in the process. We determine an effective isoscalar interaction by means of which the experimental cross section is well reproduced. This should be useful to make predictions in related reactions and is a first step to construct eventually a microscopic $NN \rightarrow NN^*$ transition potential, for which the present reaction does not offer enough information.

description: Employing new therapeutic indications for drugs that are already approved for human use has obvious advantages, including reduced costs and timelines, because some routine steps of drug development and regulation are not required. This work concentrates on the redirection of artemisinins (ARTS) that already are approved for clinical use, or investigated, for malaria treatment. Several mechanisms of action are suggested for ARTS, among which only a few have been successfully examined in vivo, mainly the induction of oxidant stress and anti-inflammatory effects. Despite these seemingly contradictory effects, ARTS are proposed for repurposing in treatment of inflammatory disorders and diverse types of diseases caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections. When pathogens are treated the expected outcome is diminution of the causative agents and/or their inflammatory damage. In general, repurposing ARTS is successful in only a very few cases, specifically when a valid mechanism can be targeted using an additional therapeutic agent and appropriate drug delivery. Investigation of repurposing should include optimization of drug combinations followed by examination in relevant cell lines, organoids, and animal models, before moving to clinical trials.

description: We thoroughly study the photo-disintegration of $^4$He on the cosmic microwave background using the most recent cross-section data both from the inclusive measurement observing the analog of the giant dipole resonance in $^4$He through the charge-exchange spin-flip $^4$He ($^7$Li,$^7$Be) reaction and from measurements of exclusive two-body and three-body processes: $^4{\rm He} \, (γ,p)\, ^3{\rm H}$, $^4{\rm He} \, (γ,n) \, ^3{\rm He}$, and $^4$He $(γ, pn)$ $^2$H. We show that the present-day (redshift $z=0$) mean free path of ultra-relativistic (Lorentz factor $\sim 10^{10}$) helium nuclei increases by more that $15\%$ with respect to previous estimates adopted as benchmarks for Monte Carlo simulation codes of ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray propagation. This implies that the physical survival probability of $^4$He nuclei would be larger than predicted by existing event generators. For example, for $E \sim 10^{10.8}~{\rm GeV}$ and a propagation distance of 3.5 Mpc, the $^4$He intensity would be $35\%$ larger than the output of CRPropa 3 program and $42\%$ larger than the output of SimProp v2r4 program. We provide new parametrizations for the two-body and three-body photo-disintegration cross-sections of $^4$He, $^3$He, tritium, and deuterium.

description: We study the Harper-Hofstadter Hamiltonian and its corresponding non-perturbative butterfly spectrum. The problem is algebraically solvable whenever the magnetic flux is a rational multiple of $2π$. For such values of the magnetic flux, the theory allows a formulation with two Bloch or $θ$-angles. We treat the problem by the path integral formulation, and show that the spectrum receives instanton corrections. Instantons as well as their one loop fluctuation determinants are found explicitly and the finding is matched with the numerical band width of the butterfly spectrum. We extend the analysis to all 2-instanton sectors with different $θ$-angle dependence to leading order and show consistency with numerics. We further argue that the instanton--anti-instanton contributions are ambiguous and cancel the ambiguity of the perturbation series, as they should. We hint at the possibility of exact 2-instanton solutions responsible for such contributions via Picard-Lefschetz theory. We also present a powerful way to compute the perturbative fluctuations around the 1-instanton saddle as well as the instanton--anti-instanton ambiguity by using the topological string formulation.

description: We present contemporary infrared and optical spectra of the plateau type II SN 1995V in NGC 1087 covering four epochs, approximately 22 to 84 days after shock breakout. The data show, for the first time, the infrared spectroscopic evolution during the plateau phase of a typical type II event. In the optical region P Cygni lines of the Balmer series and of metals lines were identified. The infrared (IR) spectra were largely dominated by the continuum, but P Cygni Paschen lines and Brackett gamma lines were also clearly seen. The other prominent IR features are confined to wavelengths blueward of 11000 Åand include Sr II 10327, Fe II 10547, C I 10695 and He I 10830 Å. We demonstrate the presence of He I 10830 Åon days 69 and 85. The presence of this line at such late times implies re-ionisation. A likely re-ionising mechanism is gamma-ray deposition following the radioactive decay of 56Ni. We examine this mechanism by constructing a spectral model for the He I 10830 Åline based on explosion model s15s7b2f of Weaver & Woosley (1993). We find that this does not generate the observed line owing to the confinement of the 56Ni to the central zones of the ejecta. In order to reproduce the He I line, it was necessary to introduce additional upward mixing of the 56Ni, with 10^{-5} of the total nickel mass reaching above the helium photosphere. In addition, we argue that the He I line-formation region is likely to have been in the form of pure helium clumps in the hydrogen envelope.

Temporal disorder in discontinuous non-equilibrium phase transitions: general results

description: We develop a general theory for discontinuous non-equilibrium phase transitions into an absorbing state in the presence of temporal disorder. We focus in two paradigmatic models for discontinuous transitions: the quadratic contact process (in which activation is only spread when two nearest- neighbor sites are both active) and the contact process with long-range interactions. Using simple stability arguments (supported by Monte Carlo simulations), we show that temporal disorder does not destroy the discontinuous transition in the former model. For the latter one, the first-order transition is turned into a continuous one only in the strong-disorder limit, with critical behavior belonging to the infinite-noise universality class of the contact process model. Finally, we have found that rare temporal fluctuations dramatically changes the behavior of metastable phase turning it into a temporal Griffiths inactive phase characterized by an exponentially large decay time.
Extracellular matrix turnover and regulation of pulmonary innate immunity
Creators: name: Bell, Thomas James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Severe respiratory viral infections are often clinically associated with bacterial complications. The regulation of innate immunity has previously been linked to altered susceptibility, e.g. expression of the negative regulator CD200R on alveolar macrophages. Additionally, the ability of alveolar macrophages to respond to pathogenic stimuli is restricted up to 6 months after influenza infection. This restriction and over-regulation of alveolar macrophages occurs after a broad range of both sterile and infectious inflammatory conditions, implying that this is a generic inflammation phenotype. Hyaluronan, an abundant glycosaminoglycan, accumulates in the airway in a number of inflammatory diseases. Small hyaluronan fragments are thought to initiate and perpetuate inflammation through TLR4 and MyD88. Hyaluronan also restricts inflammation by inducing negative regulators of TLR signalling such as A20 and IRAK-M; and an absence of its receptor, CD44, prevents the resolution of inflammation and enhances macrophage TLR responses. This work explores the hypothesis that hyaluronan accumulates during influenza infection, contributing to the blindfolding of alveolar macrophages to bacterial TLR ligands and subsequent susceptibility to secondary bacterial infection. Airway hyaluronan increased >3000-fold following murine influenza, and was associated with upregulated hyaluronan synthase expression in the lung. These changes were persistent, resulting in a long-lived alteration to hyaluronan homeostasis in the airway. Transfer of biotinylated hyaluronan and hyaluronidase enzyme treatment after influenza demonstrated that hyaluronan clearance was not impaired in resolution of infection, suggesting de novo synthesis in the lung is responsible. The inter-alpha-inhibitor and HC·∙HA complexes were also present during influenza infection, suggesting that hyaluronan-protein complexes form in the airways. Abrogating hyaluronan accumulation during influenza infection enhanced the recovery of mice and improved lung function, however excess hyaluronan only had a limited effect on bacterial infection. Determining the contribution of hyaluronan to the severity of viral infection and the effect it has on subsequent bacterial complications using hyaluronan synthase inhibitors and hyaluronidase enzymes will elucidate novel targets to improve outcomes for patients hospitalised with severe influenza.

description: Soils provide essential ecosystem functions that are threatened by climate change and intensified land use. We explore how climate and land use impact multiple soil function simultaneously, employing two datasets: (1) observational – 456 samples from the European Land Use/Land Cover Area Frame Survey; and (2) experimental – 80 samples from Germany’s Global Change Experimental Facility. We aim to investigate whether manipulative field experiment results align with observable climate, land use, and soil multifunctionality trends across Europe, measuring seven ecosystem functions to calculate soil multifunctionality. The observational data showed Europe-wide declines in soil multifunctionality under rising temperatures and dry conditions, worsened by cropland management. Our experimental data confirmed these relationships, suggesting that changes in climate will reduce soil multifunctionality across croplands and grasslands. Land use changes from grasslands to croplands threaten the integrity of soil systems, and enhancing soil multifunctionality in arable systems is key to maintain multifunctionality in a changing climate.

description: We derive the full statistics of the product events in homodyne correlation measurements, involving a single mode signal, a local oscillator, a linear optical network, and two linear photodetectors. This is performed for the regime of high intensities impinging on the detectors. Our description incorporates earlier proposed homodyne correlation measurement schemes, such as the homodyne cross-correlation and homodyne intensity-correlation measurements. This analysis extends the amount of information retrieved from such types of measurements, since previously attention was paid only to the expectation value of the correlation statistics. As an example, we consider the correlation statistics of coherent, Gaussian, and Fock states. Moreover, nonclassical light is certified on the basis of the variance of the measurement outcome.

Novel quantitative approaches for the assessment of pathological features in murine models of Osteoarthritis
Creators: name: Das Neves Borges, Patrícia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint pathology, an incurable and painful condition that is a leading cause of reduction in quality of life among the elderly. Originally considered a cartilage disorder due to lesions observed in this tissue, it is now agreed by the scientific community that OA is a complex ‘organ failure’ involving the whole joint. Notwithstanding the dramatic modifications observed radiographically in subchondral bone, their contribution to the pathology is not fully understood and little is known about bone role in the pathogenesis. The aim of this thesis was to characterize the involvement of subchondral bone using a surgical mouse model. Due to their amenability for genetic studies, murine models are increasingly essential tools to identify new therapeutic targets, but their assessment is limited by time-consuming, qualitative histopathology. This work presents novel high-throughput approaches to automatically quantify subchondral bone, articular cartilage, and osteophytes in mouse tibiae. Cartilage was assessed by novel 3D imaging methodologies that overcame the lack of non-destructive imaging previously available for mouse cartilage and constitute a major technological novelty. Changes in bone mechanical properties were further investigated by nanoindentation testing. Microstructural changes in bone were detected by micro-CT before evident cartilage degradation. Nanomechanical properties were altered only at the late stages of the pathology and not associated with alterations in mineral composition. Furthermore, although changes in bone and cartilage were co-localised, correlation analysis showed that they developed independently over time. In conclusion, this thesis presents a 3D quantitative assessment of changes occurring in bone and cartilage within tibiae during OA progression and demonstrates the key involvement of bone in the pathogenesis. The proposed approaches provide an unprecedented high-throughput solution for analysis in the mouse model and might be useful to improve the understanding of murine OA.

description: The hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is a critically endangered keystone species that forages in vulnerable reef habitats. Although research has focused on the hawksbill’s reproductive life stage, little is known about the hawksbill’s long-term foraging strategies or how their diet influences fecundity. Here, I combined stable isotope analysis of keratin tissue from 50 adult female hawksbills with long-term reproductive metrics from a hawksbill rookery beach in Antigua, West Indies to study this knowledge gap. I observed probable ontogenetic niche shifts in four individuals, and the population had high variability in isotopic composition. Niche width was not a good predictor of fecundity, but reproductive age was significantly related to niche width, with younger turtles showing higher variability. These findings provide evidence of ontogenetic dietary shifts in these hawksbills and emphasizes the necessity of protection of multiple marine habitats to aid in conservation of this critically endangered species.

description: During the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, vaccination uptake exhibited considerable regional disparities. To assess the factors contributing to this variation, we examined the association of sociodemographic variables with COVID-19, COVID-19 booster, and influenza vaccination status within a cohort of 37,078 participants from 13 German federal states in the digital health cohort study commonly known as DigiHero. Our findings revealed variations in vaccination rates based on sociodemographic factors. However, these factors had limited explanatory power regarding regional differences in vaccine uptake. In contrast, we found substantial correlations between regional support of specific parties during the last local elections and the vaccination uptake at the level of each administrative district. In conclusion, sociodemographic factors alone did not suffice to explain the regional disparities in vaccine uptake. Political stances can play a major role, although the current investigation did not assess individual political orientations but rather used only an ecological approach.

description: Le S.O. OISO (Océan Indien Service d'Observation) a pour objectif d'étudier la variabilité spatiale et temporelle du CO2 dans l'océan subtropical, subantarctique et austral. Les observations OISO acquises depuis 1998 à bord du Marion Dufresne (IPEV) sont complémentaires des mesures réalisées dans d'autres secteurs océaniques par des partenaires français et étrangers (http://www.ioccp.org/Underway). Ces observations sont primordiales pour évaluer les bilans de carbone à l'échelle planétaire (cadre du protocole de Kyoto), paramétrer puis valider les modèles climatiques prédictifs (cadre IPCC) et mieux comprendre le phénomène d'acidification des océans. La campagne OISO24 avait pour objectif de répéter les mesures de CO2 et des paramètres associés le long du trajet logistique du Marion Dufresne. Des observations ont été collectées dans les eaux de surface en continu, et sur la colonne d'eau au niveau des 17 stations OISO réparties sur l'ensemble du trajet, auxquelles s'ajoutent 3 stations d'opportunité réalisées autour de Kerguelen et associées au déploiement de 6 flotteurs BioArgo (cadre KEOPS, SOCLIM, S. Blain, H. Claustre). Des prélèvements journaliers ont été réalisés pour la détermination des pigments photosynthétiques dans les eaux de surface, ceci afin de valider et améliorer les algorithmes de détection des espèces phytoplanctoniques dominantes par satellite (PHYSAT, coll. S. Alvain, LOG, Univ. Lille). Les projets de rattachement sont LEFE/CyBER, CLIVAR/WCRP, SOLAS-IMBER/IGBP, FP7/CARBOCHANGE.

description: We propose the suppression of dispersive spreading of wave packets governed by the free-space Schrödinger equation with a periodically pulsed nonlinear term. Using asymptotic analysis, we construct stroboscopically-dispersionless quantum states that are physically reminiscent of, but mathematically different from, the well-known one-soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a constant (time-independent) nonlinearity. Our analytics are strongly supported by full numerical simulations. The predicted dispersionless wave packets can move with arbitrary velocity and can be realized in experiments involving ultracold atomic gases with temporally controlled interactions.

description: Emerging evidence has demonstrated lipid composition differences in cancer cells versus that of benign tissue. The observed changes have been attributed to de novo lipogenesis, a metabolic process which occurs in cancer due to increased demands of cell proliferation. The specific lipid differences are not fully understood but their investigation has been made feasible through the development of novel analytical technologies. In this research, the application of Desorption Electrospray Ionisation-Mass Spectrometry (DESI-MS) for the analysis of lipids in human tissue has been investigated. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the instrument for cancer tissue analysis and undertake a lipidomic study of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OA) and its associated lymph node metastases. Optimal geometric/electrospray solvent parameters have been investigated and optimised to maximize the number of detected lipid species and associated total ion current for DESI-MS of human tissue. Assessments of repeatability and reproducibility measurements of lipid ion intensities have also been undertaken. The analytical performance of the instrument was compared with the gold standard Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionisation-Mass Spectrometry. In the first clinical study, DESI-MS lipidomic profiling was combined with immunohistochemical assay and cell functional studies to investigate the associations of cancer-related lipogenesis with the expression of glycerophospholipids in OA. In the second clinical study, DESI-MS has been used for the objective identification of metastases within lymph nodes based on the average lipidomic profile of OA from the primary tumour site. In conclusion, DESI-MS has been validated for the purpose of lipidomic analysis and demonstrated a distinct molecular profile of OA, which has also been utilised in the objective detection of lymph node metastases.
Principles of sensorimotor control and learning in complex motor tasks

description: The brain coordinates a continuous coupling between perception and action in the presence of uncertainty and incomplete knowledge about the world. This mapping is enabled by control policies and motor learning can be perceived as the update of such policies on the basis of improving performance given some task objectives. Despite substantial progress in computational sensorimotor control and empirical approaches to motor adaptation, to date it remains unclear how the brain learns motor control policies while updating its internal model of the world. In light of this challenge, we propose here a computational framework, which employs error-based learning and exploits the brain’s inherent link between forward models and feedback control to compute dynamically updated policies. The framework merges optimal feedback control (OFC) policy learning with a steady system identification of task dynamics so as to explain behavior in complex object manipulation tasks. Its formalization encompasses our empirical findings that action is learned and generalised both with regard to a body-based and an object-based frame of reference. Importantly, our approach predicts successfully how the brain makes continuous decisions for the generation of complex trajectories in an experimental paradigm of unfamiliar task conditions. A complementary method proposes an expansion of the motor learning perspective at the level of policy optimisation to the level of policy exploration. It employs computational analysis to reverse engineer and subsequently assess the control process in a whole body manipulation paradigm. Another contribution of this thesis is to associate motor psychophysics and computational motor control to their underlying neural foundation; a link which calls for further advancement in motor neuroscience and can inform our theoretical insight to sensorimotor processes in a context of physiological constraints. To this end, we design, build and test an fMRI-compatible haptic object manipulation system to relate closed-loop motor control studies to neurophysiology. The system is clinically adjusted and employed to host a naturalistic object manipulation paradigm on healthy human subjects and Friedreich’s ataxia patients. We present methodology that elicits neuroimaging correlates of sensorimotor control and learning and extracts longitudinal neurobehavioral markers of disease progression (i.e. neurodegeneration). Our findings enhance the understanding of sensorimotor control and learning mechanisms that underlie complex motor tasks. They furthermore provide a unified methodological platform to bridge the divide between behavior, computation and neural implementation with promising clinical and technological implications (e.g. diagnostics, robotics, BMI).
