Creators: name: Hartke, Bernd
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new strategy for global geometry optimization of clusters is presented. Important features are a restriction of search space to favorable nearest-neighbor distance ranges, a suitable cluster growth representation with diminished correlations, and easy transferability of the results to larger clusters. The strengths and possible limitations of the method are demonstrated for Si10 using an empirical potential.

description: Cette série de campagnes s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet HOPE, financé par l'ERC (ERC-COG-2021, Grant N°101044637). Ces campagnes récurrentes visent à étudier le rôle des diazotrophes dans la pompe biologique à carbone, avec une approche multi-échelles (de la cellule à l'écosystème). Le projet implique notamment dans le cadre du WP3 le déploiement d'une bouée profileuse intelligente munie de capteurs haute technologie, dont certains développés pour cette occasion, encadrée de 6 mouillages fixes, également équipés de capteurs biogéochimiques, physiques, et de pièges à particules. Le déploiement de ce dispositif unique nécessite des besoins récurrents en moyens navigants (N/O ANTEA ou équivalent, 2 à 3 jours/mois) pendant 2 années consécutives en Nouvelle Calédonie. Le projet implique par ailleurs dans le WP2 des campagnes d'une semaine 3 fois par an à bord du N/O ANTEA (ou équivalent), lesquelles pourraient être remplacées par une campagne hauturière de ~30 jours sur le N/O L'Atalante (ou équivalent) s'il était positionné dans le Pacifique en 2025.

description: The leptonic decay of charged pions is investigated in the presence of background magnetic fields. In this situation Lorentz symmetry is broken and new fundamental decay constants need to be introduced, associated with the decay via the vector part of the electroweak current. We calculate the magnetic field-dependence of both the usual and a new decay constant non-perturbatively on the lattice. We employ both Wilson and staggered quarks and extrapolate the results to the continuum limit. With this non-perturbative input we calculate the tree-level electroweak amplitude for the full decay rate in strong magnetic fields. We find that the muonic decay of the charged pion is enhanced drastically by the magnetic field. We comment on possible astrophysical implications.

description: Aggregation of cell surface receptor proteins by multivalent antigens is an essential early step for immune cell signalling. A number of experimental and modelling studies in the past have investigated multivalent ligand-mediated aggregation of IgE receptors (FcɛRI) in the plasma membrane of mast cells. However, understanding of the mechanisms of FcɛRI aggregation remains incomplete. Experimental reports indicate that FcɛRI forms relatively small and finite-sized clusters when stimulated by a multivalent ligand. By contrast, modelling studies have shown that receptor cross-linking by a trivalent ligand may lead to the formation of large receptor superaggregates that may potentially give rise to hyperactive cellular responses. In this work, we have developed a Brownian dynamics-based spatio-temporal model to analyse FcɛRI aggregation by a trivalent antigen. Unlike the existing models, which implemented non-spatial simulation approaches, our model explicitly accounts for the coarse-grained site-specific features of the multivalent species (molecules and complexes). The model incorporates membrane diffusion, steric collisions and sub-nanometre-scale site-specific interaction of the time-evolving species of arbitrary structures. Using the model, we investigated temporal evolution of the species and their diffusivities. Consistent with a recent experimental report, our model predicted sharp decay in species mobility in the plasma membrane in response receptor cross-linking by a multivalent antigen. We show that, due to such decay in the species mobility, post-stimulation receptor aggregation may become self-limiting. Our analysis reveals a potential regulatory mechanism suppressing hyperactivation of immune cells in response to multivalent antigens.

Our combined data set provides an estimate of ~90 trans-neptunian objects per square degree brighter than ~ 25.9. This estimate is a factor of 3 above the expected number of objects based on an extrapolation of previous surveys with brighter limits, and appears consistent with the hypothesis of a single power-law luminosity function for the entire trans-neptunian region.

Studies of an Off-Lattice Model for Protein Folding: Sequence Dependence and Improved Sampling at Finite Temperature

description: We study the thermodynamic behavior of a simple off-lattice model for protein folding. The model is two-dimensional and has two different ``amino acids''. Using numerical simulations of all chains containing eight or ten monomers, we examine the sequence dependence at a fixed temperature. It is shown that only a few of the chains exist in unique folded state at this temperature, and the energy level spectra of chains with different types of behavior are compared. Furthermore, we use this model as a testbed for two improved Monte Carlo algorithms. Both algorithms are based on letting some parameter of the model become a dynamical variable; one of the algorithms uses a fluctuating temperature and the other a fluctuating monomer sequence. We find that by these algorithms one gains large factors in efficiency in comparison with conventional methods.

description: Cette série de campagnes correspond à un enseignement de géophysique marine organisé annuellement dans le cadre du Master STePE (Sciences de la Terre et des Planètes, Environnement), parcours GEO-P (Géosciences-Planétologie), de Sorbonne Université. Il concerne plus particulièrement le niveau de Master1 et l'UE 4TEG06 (second semestre de l'année universitaire). Il se déroule à l'Institut de la Mer de Villefranche (IMEV). L'objectif est de donner aux étudiants une première formation appliquée sur les méthodes d'acquisition géophysique grâce à la mise en oeuvre d'un outil de sismique réflexion multitraces sur le N/O Téthys II. L'UE se compose d'acquisitions marines (deux jours par étudiant) et de travail en salle (cours/TD sur les principes d'acquisition, de traitement et d'interprétation des profils sismiques, introduction à la sismique grand-angle). Du fait de sa proximité de l'IMEV où se déroule l'UE, l'objet géologique étudié est la marge continentale nord ligure, au large de Nice/Monaco. Cette marge constitue un bel exemple de marge passive ayant enregistré des processus tectoniques et sédimentaires variés. Au cours de cette UE, les sorties en mer permettent d'appréhender les paramètres d'acquisition utilisés en sismique marine et leur influence sur l'image sismique finale du sous-sol. De retour en salle, les données brutes sont traitées par les étudiants pour générer des profils sismiques. Ces images permettent enfin aux étudiants d'appliquer les principes de la stratigraphie sismique par l'identification des faciès sismiques, des géométries des réflecteurs, des configurations de terminaison des réflecteurs. Une fois interprétées, ces images permettent de cartographier en 2D puis en 3D des unités sismiques sur les premiers kilomètres du sous-sol et de leur donner une signification géologique. L'ensemble de la séquence « acquisition - traitement - interprétation des données » est donc pratiquée très concrètement au cours du stage.

description: We present near-infrared emission line images of the circumnuclear ring in NGC1068. We have measured the Br_gamma fluxes in a number of star forming complexes and derived extinctions for each of these by comparison with H_alpha. We investigate the star forming histories of these regions and find that a short burst of star formation occured co-evally throughout the ring within the last 30-40 Myr, and perhaps as recently as 4-7 Myr ago. The 1-0 S(1) flux and S(1)/Br_gamma ratios indicate that as well as fluorescence, shock excited H_2 emission contributes to the total flux. There is excess H_2 flux to the North-West where the ionisation cone crosses the ring, and we have shown it is possible that the non-stellar continuum from the Seyfert nucleus which produces the high excitation lines could also be causing fluorescence at the edges of molecular clouds in the ring. The nuclear 1-0 S(1) is more extended than previously realised but only along the bar's major axis, and we consider mechanisms for its excitation.

description: Large-scale cosmological simulations of galaxy formation currently do not resolve the densities at which molecular hydrogen forms, implying that the atomic-to-molecular transition must be modeled either on the fly or in postprocessing. We present an improved postprocessing framework to estimate the abundance of atomic and molecular hydrogen and apply it to the IllustrisTNG simulations. We compare five different models for the atomic-to-molecular transition, including empirical, simulation-based, and theoretical prescriptions. Most of these models rely on the surface density of neutral hydrogen and the ultraviolet (UV) flux in the Lyman-Werner band as input parameters. Computing these quantities on the kiloparsec scales resolved by the simulations emerges as the main challenge. We show that the commonly used Jeans length approximation to the column density of a system can be biased and exhibits large cell-to-cell scatter. Instead, we propose to compute all surface quantities in face-on projections and perform the modeling in two dimensions. In general, the two methods agree on average, but their predictions diverge for individual galaxies and for models based on the observed midplane pressure of galaxies. We model the UV radiation from young stars by assuming a constant escape fraction and optically thin propagation throughout the galaxy. With these improvements, we find that the five models for the atomic-to-molecular transition roughly agree on average but that the details of the modeling matter for individual galaxies and the spatial distribution of molecular hydrogen. We emphasize that the estimated molecular fractions are approximate due to the significant systematic uncertainties.

description: Current constraints on gravity are relatively weak on galactic and intergalactic scales. Screened modified gravity models can exhibit complex behaviour there without violating stringent tests of gravity within our Solar System. They might hence provide viable extensions of the theory of gravity. Here, we use galaxy kinematics to constrain screened modified gravity models. We focus on chameleon $f(R)$ gravity and predict its impact on galaxy rotation curves and radial acceleration relations. This is achieved by post-processing state-of-the-art galaxy formation simulations from the \textsc{auriga project}, using the \textsc{mg-gadget} code. For a given galaxy, the surface dividing screened and un-screened regions adopts an oblate shape, reflecting the disc morphology of the galaxy's mass distribution. At the `screening radius'---the radius at which screening is triggered in the disc plane---characteristic `upturns' are present in both rotation curves and radial acceleration relations. The locations of these features depend on various factors, such as the galaxy mass, the concentration of the density profile and the value of the background field amplitude $f_{R0}$. Self-screening of stars and environmental screening also play a role. For Milky Way-size galaxies, we find that a model with $|f_{R0}|=10^{-7}$ results in rotation curves that are indistinguishable from $Λ$CDM, while for $|f_{R0}| \geq 2 \times 10^{-6}$ the simulated galaxies are entirely unscreened, violating Solar System constraints. For intermediate values, distinct upturns are present. With a careful statistical analysis of existing samples of observed rotation curves, including lower mass objects, constraints on $f(R)$ gravity with a sensitivity down to $|f_{R0}|\sim10^{-7}$ should be possible.

Theory and simulation of the charging of dust in plasmas
Creators: name: Thomas, Drew Mercos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation documents my mathematical and computational models of the charging of spherical dust grains in plasmas. The mathematical models are stochastic models which predict the equilibrium probability distribution of a sphere's charge state q in a collisionless, flowing plasma with Debye length λ_D. I solve the models for the distribution's exact form and deduce closed-form Gaussian approximations to it. The approximations' mean and variance are of order Ω at large Ω, where the dimensionless quantity Ω equals 3 N_D a / λ_D, N_D being the plasma's Debye number and a the sphere's radius. Faster plasma flow increases q's variance for spheres much smaller than λ_D, but does not affect the variance for large (a ≫ λ_D) spheres. My computational model is pot, a simulator of a sphere in a flowing, homogeneously magnetized plasma, and the first to be fully microscopic with non-interpolated fields. I describe pot's design, present test results confirming that pot produces sensible output, and detail pot-derived estimates of a sphere's normalized, equilibrium surface potential η_a as a function of the dimensionless magnetization β_i and plasma flow speed. pot's η_a values come within 5% of those predicted by the existing "SOML" theory of spheres in flowing plasmas, and q's equilibrium fluctuations during pot simulations statistically match those predicted by my stochastic modelling. Another comparison, of pot's results against past simulations — only partially microscopic — and against an unmagnetized-ion theory, verifies the earlier simulations' implication that the unmagnetized-ion theory is incorrect when β_i is small but non-negligible. Contra the theory, gently magnetizing a proton-electron plasma by increasing its β_i from zero to 0.4 does not raise η_a by 0.4, but at most by 0.1.

The impact of vector resonant relaxation on the evolution of binaries near a massive black hole: implications for gravitational wave sources

description: Binaries within the sphere of influence of a massive black hole (MBH) in galactic nuclei are susceptible to the Lidov-Kozai (LK) mechanism, which can drive orbits to high eccentricities and trigger strong interactions within the binary such as the emission of gravitational waves (GWs), and mergers of compact objects. These events are potential sources for GW detectors such as Advanced LIGO and VIRGO. The LK mechanism is only effective if the binary is highly inclined with respect to its orbit around the MBH (within a few degrees of 90 deg), implying low rates. However, close to an MBH, torques from the stellar cluster give rise to the process of vector resonant relaxation (VRR). VRR can bring a low-inclination binary into an `active' LK regime in which high eccentricities and strong interactions are triggered in the binary. Here, we study the coupled LK-VRR dynamics, with implications for LIGO and VIRGO GW sources. We carry out Monte Carlo simulations and find that the merger fraction enhancement due to LK-VRR dynamics is up to a factor of ~10 for the lower end of assumed MBH masses (M_MBH = 1e4 MSun), and decreases sharply with increasing M_MBH. We find that, even in our most optimistic scenario, the baseline BH-BH merger rate is small, and the enhancement by LK-VRR coupling is not large enough to increase the rate to well above the LIGO/VIRGO lower limit, 12 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}. For the Galactic Center, the LK-VRR-enhanced rate is ~100 times lower than the LIGO/VIRGO limit, and for M_MBH = 1e4 MSun, the rate barely reaches 12 Gpc^{-3} yr^{-1}.

On the precession of accretion discs in X-ray binaries

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this letter recent results on the nodal precession of accretion discs in close binaries are applied to the discs in some X-ray binary systems. The ratio between the tidally forced precession period and the binary orbital period is given, as well as the condition required for the rigid precession of gaseous Keplerian discs. Hence the minimum precessional period that may be supported by a fluid Keplerian disc is determined. It is concluded that near rigid body precession of tilted accretion discs can occur and generally reproduce observationally inferred precession periods, for reasonable system parameters. In particular long periods in SS433, Her X-1, LMC X-4 and SMC X-1 can be fit by the tidal model. It is also found that the precession period that has been tentatively put forward for Cyg X-2 cannot be accomodated by a tidally precessing disc model for any realistic choice of system parameters.

Excitation dynamics of strongly dissipative quantum systems
Creators: name: Iles-Smith, Jake
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Strong coupling between a quantum system and its many-body environment is becoming an increasingly important topic for many branches of physics. Numerous systems of experimental and technological relevance demonstrate strong system-environment coupling, leading to complex dynamical behaviour. This thesis is concerned with two particular examples of such systems, namely quantum dots (QDs) and excitonic energy transfer (EET) in molecular systems. Traditional quantum optics treatments are often insufficient to describe the transient, steady state, and optical properties of QDs due to system-environment correlations. In contrast, we present a modified theory of quantum optics capable of capturing the influence of a thermal environment on the behaviour of QDs. Using this framework we demonstrate a striking departure of the emission spectra and photon measurement statistics of a classically driven QD when compared to an analogous atomic system. Furthermore, in contradiction to accepted notions of decoherence and dissipation, we show that the interaction between a QD and its thermal environment induces non-classical light-matter correlations in an otherwise semi-classical regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics. Away from QDs, we develop the reaction coordinate (RC) formalism to describe the dynamics of a system coupled to a low frequency environment — a regime important to EET systems. We do so by identifying and incorporating important environmental degrees of freedom into an enlarged system Hamiltonian. Uniquely, this approach gives insight directly into the dynamical evolution of the environment and correlations accumulated between the system and environment. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that these corre- lations persist into the steady state, generating non-canonical equilibrium states of the system and environment. We then apply the RC model to describe EET in a molecular dimer, highlighting the effect that under- and over-damped environments have on the excitation dynamics. In doing so, we show interactions between the dimer and a structured environment can significantly enhance the energy transfer rate.

description: (Abridged) While the major contribution to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies are the sought-after primordial fluctuations produced at the surface of last scattering, other effects produce secondary fluctuations at lower redshifts. Here, we study the extragalactic foregrounds of the CMB in the context of the upcoming MAP mission. We first survey the major extragalactic foregrounds and show that discrete sources, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, and gravitational lensing are the most dominant ones for MAP. We then show that MAP will detect (>5 sigma) about 46 discrete sources and 10 SZ clusters directly with 94 GHz fluxes above 2 Jy. The mean SZ fluxes of fainter clusters can be probed by cross-correlating MAP with cluster positions extracted from existing catalogs. For instance, a MAP-XBACs cross-correlation will be sensitive to clusters with S(94GHz)>200mJy, and will thus provide a test of their virialization state and a measurement of their gas fraction. Finally, we consider probing the hot gas on supercluster scales by cross-correlating the CMB with galaxy catalogs. Assuming that galaxies trace the gas, we show that a cross-correlation between MAP and the APM catalog should yield a marginal detection, or at least a four-fold improvement on the COBE upper limits for the rms Compton y-parameter.

The development of hybrid polymer-metal organic framework membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration
Creators: name: Campbell, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The most common membranes used for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) are integrally skinned asymmetric membranes formed via the immersion precipitation phase inversion process. These membranes are flexible, durable and easy to produce. However control of the porous properties of these membranes is not possible on a molecular level. Integrally skinned asymmetric membranes always exhibit signs of a pore size distribution, which leads to rejections not being optimum. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) were added to polymeric OSN membranes in an attempt to improve the control over porous properties and separation properties above those achievable using integrally skinned asymmetric polymer membranes. MOFs are crystalline materials with regular porous structures. MOFs have been used for gas separation purposes. This thesis describes the fabrication of hybrid polymer/MOF membranes for OSN applications. MMM fabrication is the tradition approach to create a hybrid polymer/MOF membrane, and contains discrete particles of MOF in a continuous polymer phase. The advantage of MMMs is that they are easy to produce; however, due to the discrete nature of the MOF in the membrane; the permeation of molecules through the membrane is not completely controlled by the MOF. MMMs were shown to have little difference in performance to polymer nanofiltration membranes for OSN. In order for the MOF to exhibit more control over the permeation properties of membranes, in-situ growth (ISG) membranes were developed, whereby MOF material is grown within the pre-existing pores of polymer membranes. Using the MOF HKUST-1 and ultrafiltration polyimide supports ISG membranes were produced and were shown to outperform MMMs in terms of both solute retention and flux decline. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was used to reveal the distribution of HKUST-1 throughout ISG membranes, which was found to be even across the surface and throughout the cross-section, showing that a continuous phase of MOF had been grown.

description: Jaynes' transformation group principle is used to derive the objective prior for the velocity of a non-zero rest-mass particle. In the case of classical mechanics, invariance under the classical law of addition of velocities, leads to an improper constant prior over the unbounded velocity space of classical mechanics. The application of the relativistic law of addition of velocities leads to a less simple prior. It can however be rewritten as a uniform volumetric distribution if the relativistic velocity space is given a non-trivial metric.

description: Physico-chemical characteristics of the CoCrMo degradation products have played an important role in cytotoxicity and clinical complications on the orthopedic patients who have metal implants. Previous studies have limited reflection on the physicochemical characteristics of the degradation products generated in vivo, which are very different from individual metal particles and/or ions obtained from different commercial sources. In this study, we aimed to understand the differences in toxicity induced by the degradation products in as-synthesized form as well as those obtained after post-processing. The degradation products were generated using a hip-simulator by maintaining physiological conditions closer to in vivo and separated into two batches, one with processing by washing and drying called processed degradation products (PDP) and another batch as ‘as-synthesized’ degradation product (DP). We studied the dose-dependent toxicity response by neural cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells. The results of the study show that as-synthesized DPs are more toxic to neural cells even at lower concentrations studied with evident low TC50 (1–5 μg/ml) concentrations compared to PDP (25 μg/ml). Flow cytometric analysis showed a significant (p

description: We analyze the microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0173, which shows a small perturbation at the end of the microlensing event caused by the primary lens. We consider both binary lens and binary source models and we explore their degeneracies, some of which have not previously been recognized. There are two families of binary lens solutions, one with a mass ratio $q\approx4\times10^{-4}$ and a separation s~4.6 and the other with q~0.015 and s~0.22, i.e, both have companions in the planetary regime. We search for solutions by using Bayesian analysis that includes planet frequency as a prior and find that the s~4.6 family is the preferred one with ~4 M_Uranus mass planet on an orbit of ~10 AU. The degeneracies arise from a paucity of information on the anomaly, demonstrating that high-cadence observations are essential for characterizing wide-orbit microlensing planets. Hence, we predict that the planned WFIRST microlensing survey will be less prone to these degeneracies than the ongoing ground-based surveys. We discuss the known low-mass, wide-orbit companions and we notice that for the largest projected separations the mass ratios are either high (consistent with brown dwarf companions) or low (consistent with Uranus analogs), but intermediate mass ratios (Jupiter analogs on wide orbits) have not been detected to date, despite the fact that the sensitivity to such planets should be higher than that of Uranus analogs. This is therefore tentative evidence of the existence of a massive ice giant desert at wide separations. On the other hand, given their low intrinsic detection sensitivity, Uranus analogs may be ubiquitous.

Understanding the role of microRNA expression in the response to phenobarbital toxicity in the rat
Creators: name: Osborne, Michael Craig
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: New chemical entities that humans and animals are likely to be exposed to are tested using various in vitro and in vivo toxicological assays to understand the potential for harm. The increasing power of in silico analysis in combination with in vitro techniques is being exploited for the ability to predict in vivo outcomes such as toxicity, thereby reducing the requirement for animal testing. Previous studies in our laboratory have found that dietary phenobarbital treatment of rats results in dysregulation of the hepatic miRNAome, including prominent alteration of the expression of the miR-200a/b/429 cluster and miR-182/96 cluster. In this thesis I explore the use of a cell culture system, rat hepatocyte-like B13/H cells, to interrogate the underlying mechanisms of phenobarbital-mediated toxicity. Through this model I explore the function of phenobarbital-dysregulated microRNAs to determine their roles as markers of phenobarbital treatment in the rat. We find that the B13/H cells provide a useful system for studying the phenobarbital response in vitro, and how these responses relate to the effects of oral exposure to phenobarbital in vivo in the rat. In this respect, the B13/H cells appear representative of the rat response to phenobarbital, which is different to that of the mouse. With a focus on the phenobarbital-mediated dysregulation of the miR-182/96 cluster, I have explored the consequences of phenobarbital treatment on the B13/H cell model and related this to the in vivo effects. The data suggest that these microRNAs appear to control phenobarbital-mediated perturbation of glycolysis, cell transformation and methylation patterns.

Manipulation of antigen presenting cells to enhance host immune responses to bacterial infection
Creators: name: Thompson, Iain James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Vaccine development for intracellular pathogens, where a protective and long lasting T cell response is desirable, has proved to be a significant challenge. Dendritic cell (DC) vaccination has been used to both elucidate mechanisms important in providing protection against a range of pathogens and more recently as a vaccine strategy in its own right. Additionally, targeting of vaccine antigens via monoclonal antibodies specific to DCs has developed as a more clinically appropriate alternative. This thesis investigates whether DC manipulation can enhance survival and reduce bacterial load in murine models of anthrax and melioidosis. Prophylactic DC vaccination for B. anthracis required CpG ODN 1826 for the maturation of antigen-stimulated DCs in vitro. Following their adoptive transfer, DCs failed to induce an antigen-specific response. However, when combined with the rPA and alum anthrax vaccine, DC vaccination enhanced antigen-specific T cell responses. This approach increased murine survival and significantly reduced bacterial load. DC vaccination as a therapeutic strategy for B. pseudomallei again required CpG ODN 1826 for DC maturation and activation. Antigen stimulated DCs migrated to lymph nodes within 48 hours of adoptive transfer where they induced an antigen-specific T cell response with a mixed Th1/Th17 profile. DC vaccination failed to affect survival with increased splenic weight and bacterial load in two out of three murine efficacy studies. Targeting of the protective B. pseudomallei antigen LolC, conjugated to a monoclonal antibody specific for DEC205, an endocytic DC receptor, failed to induce either a specific immune response or impact survival or bacterial load. Overall, DC vaccination reduced B. anthracis bacterial load when used prophylactically in combination with rPA and alum. As a therapeutic strategy the results are suggestive of DC vaccination enhancing B. pseudomallei infection. Future studies should examine the potential for antigen specific immune responses generated by DC vaccination to be used as an adjunct to antibiotic therapy, when B. pseudomallei replication is controlled.

description: A refined a priori error analysis of the lowest order (linear) Virtual Element Method (VEM) is developed for approximating a model two dimensional Poisson problem. A set of new geometric assumptions is proposed on shape regularity of polygonal meshes. A new universal error equation for the lowest order (linear) VEM is derived for any choice of stabilization, and a new stabilization using broken half-seminorm is introduced to incorporate short edges naturally into the a priori error analysis on isotropic elements. The error analysis is then extended to a special class of anisotropic elements with high aspect ratio originating from a body-fitted mesh generator, which uses straight lines to cut a shape regular background mesh. Lastly, some commonly used tools for triangular elements are revisited for polygonal elements to give an in-depth view of these estimates' dependence on shapes.

description: This research describes in detail an application of theory of constraints (TOC) and its resulting benefits on the supply chain performance of India's largest lock manufacturing company over a period of seven years. Using TOC's thinking process, the core constraints that had limited the company's performance in the areas of production, distribution, supply group and projects were identified and eliminated. TOC's unique approach helped the company achieve a significant reduction in its finished goods, raw material and work-in-process inventories at various levels across the supply chain. The stock-outs and excess in the distribution system nearly disappeared. The existing lead times saw a drastic reduction while the availability of items increased to nearly 100% despite significant decrease in inventory levels in the supply chain. The inventory turns of the distributors and retailers more than tripled and their profitability increased significantly. The overall sales of the company grew nearly three times during the six years post TOC implementation. TOC's holistic approach helped the company to double its profits and improve its cash position during the Great Recession.
