description: Lignocellulosic bioethanol production results in huge amount of stillage, a potentially polluting by-product. Stillage, rich in heavy metals and, mainly, inhibitors, requires specific toxicity studies to be adequately managed. To this purpose, we applied an FTIR ecotoxicological bioassay to evaluate the toxicity of lignocellulosic stillage. Two weak acids and furans, most frequently found in lignocellulosic stillage, have been tested in different mixtures against three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. The metabolomic reaction of the test microbes and the mortality induced at various levels of inhibitors concentration showed that the strains are representative of three different type of response. Furthermore, the relationship between concentrations and FTIR Synthetic Stress Indexes has been studied, with the aim of defining a model able to predict the concentrations of inhibitors in stillage, resulting in an optimized predictive model for all the strains. This approach represents a promising tool to support the ecotoxicological management of lignocellulosic stillage.

description: We report on the fabrication of an ultrahigh quality factor, bottle-like microresonator from a microcapillary, and the realization of Raman lasing therein at pump wavelengths of $1.55~\mathrm{μm}$ and $780~\mathrm{nm}$. The dependence of the Raman laser threshold on mode volume is investigated. The mode volume of the fundamental bottle mode is calculated and compared with that of a microsphere. Third-order cascaded Raman lasing was observed when pumped at $780~\mathrm{nm}$. In principle, Raman lasing in a hollow bottle-like microresonator can be used in sensing applications. As an example, we briefly discuss the possibility of a high dynamic range, high resolution aerostatic pressure sensor.

description: The replication of long tracts of telomeric repeats may require specific factors to avoid fork regression (Fouché, N., Ozgür, S., Roy, D., and Griffith, J. (2006) Nucleic Acids Res., in press). Here we show that TRF2 binds to model replication forks and four-way junctions in vitro in a structure-specific but sequence-independent manner. A synthetic peptide encompassing the TRF2 basic domain also binds to DNA four-way junctions, whereas the TRF2 truncation mutant (TRF2(DeltaB)) and a mutant basic domain peptide do not. In the absence of the basic domain, the ability of TRF2 to localize to model telomere ends and facilitate t-loop formation in vitro is diminished. We propose that TRF2 plays a key role during telomere replication in binding chickenfoot intermediates of telomere replication fork regression. Junction-specific binding would also allow TRF2 to stabilize a strand invasion structure that is thought to exist at the strand invasion site of the t-loop.
The Biochemical Role of the Heat Shock Protein 90 Chaperone Complex in Establishing Human Telomerase Activity

description: Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex that synthesizes the G-rich DNA found at the 3'-ends of linear chromosomes. Human telomerase consists minimally of a catalytic protein (hTERT) and a template-containing RNA (hTR), although other proteins are involved in regulating telomerase activity in vivo. Several chaperone proteins, including hsp90 and p23, have demonstrable roles in establishing telomerase activity both in vitro and in vivo, and previous reports indicate that hsp90 and p23 are required for the reconstitution of telomerase activity from recombinant hTERT and hTR. Here we report that hTERT and hTR associate in the absence of a functional hsp90-p23 heterocomplex. We also report that hsp90 inhibitors geldanamycin and novobiocin inhibit recombinant telomerase even after telomerase is assembled. Inhibition by geldanamycin could be overcome by allowing telomerase to first bind its primer, suggesting a role for hsp90 in loading telomerase onto the telomere. Inhibition by novobiocin could not similarly be overcome but instead resulted in destabilization of the hTERT polypeptide. We propose that the hsp90-p23 complex fine tunes and stabilizes a functional telomerase structure, allowing primer loading and extension.

description: Motivated by the recent discovery of high temperature antiferromagnet SrRu$_2$O$_6$ and its potential to be the parent of a new superconductor, we construct a minimal $t_{2g}$-orbital model on a honeycomb lattice to simulate its low energy band structure. Local Coulomb interaction is taken into account through both random phase approximation and mean field theory. Experimentally observed Antiferromagnetic order is obtained in both approximations. In addition, our theory predicts that the magnetic moments on three $t_{2g}$-orbitals are non-collinear as a result of the strong spin-orbit coupling of Ru atoms.

description: This study analyzes the annual features of rice purchasing behaviors of urban households and revisits the issue through a categorization of the households according to income level. The results state that the amount of rice consumption has been decreasing and the figure is more distinct in the higher income level. It was found that there is a clear difference between the results from an analysis of rice purchasing behaviors of urban consumers as a whole and those from the analysis through a classification of consumers according to income level. This implies that if one analyzes the issue without the classification of consumers, it may distort the information regarding domestic consumers' rice purchasing behaviors and also may cause a bias in the empirical analysis. Therefore, we must consider the difference through the income level in the discussion of rice consumption patterns, in the controversy over the normal-or-inferior goods, and in the policy decision for rice production and consumption.

description: We study interaction effects on the topological crystalline insulators protected by time-reversal ($T$) and reflection symmetry ($R$) in two and three spatial dimensions. From the stability analysis of the edge states with bosonization, we find that the classification of the two-dimensional SPT phases protected by $Z_2\times[\mbox{U(1)}\rtimes T]$ symmetry is reduced from $\mathbb{Z}$ to $\mathbb{Z}_4$ by interactions, where the $Z_2$ symmetry denotes the reflection whose mirror plane is the two-dimensional plane itself. By extending the approach recently proposed by Isobe and Fu, we show that the classification of the three-dimensional SPT phases (i.e., topological crystalline insulators) protected by $R\times[\mbox{U(1)}\rtimes T]$ symmetry is reduced from $\mathbb{Z}$ to $\mathbb{Z}_8$ by interactions.

description: The major yeast phosphatidylinositol/phosphatidylcholine transfer protein Sec14p is the founding member of a large eukaryotic protein superfamily. Functional analyses indicate Sec14p integrates phospholipid metabolism with the membrane trafficking activity of yeast Golgi membranes. In this regard, the ability of Sec14p to rapidly exchange bound phospholipid with phospholipid monomers that reside in stable membrane bilayers is considered to be important for Sec14p function in cells. How Sec14p-like proteins bind phospholipids remains unclear. Herein, we describe the application of EPR spectroscopy to probe the local dynamics and the electrostatic microenvironment of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) bound by Sec14p in a soluble protein-PtdCho complex. We demonstrate that PtdCho movement within the Sec14p binding pocket is both anisotropic and highly restricted and that the C5 region of the sn-2 acyl chain of bound PtdCho is highly shielded from solvent, whereas the distal region of that same acyl chain is more accessible. Finally, high field EPR reports on a heterogeneous polarity profile experienced by a phospholipid bound to Sec14p. Taken together, the data suggest a headgroup-out orientation of Sec14p-bound PtdCho. The data further suggest that the Sec14p phospholipid binding pocket provides a polarity gradient that we propose is a primary thermodynamic factor that powers the ability of Sec14p to abstract a phospholipid from a membrane bilayer.

description: Track switches are essential in order to enable railway vehicles to change routes however they are also the largest single cause of failure on the railway network and remain a single point of failure. This thesis focusses on modelling and fault tolerant control of a new type of electromechanical railway track switch. Unlike conventional track switch machines, this switch needs closed loop feedback control. Firstly, a detailed simulation model of the switch is developed and validated against experimental results. Two model-based control designs are then developed and tested: a classical cascaded P/PI controller and a modern state feedback LQR controller. The two controllers are compared and it is found that, whilst there are some performance differences, both meet the requirements for use in a redundantly actuated track switch. Following this, a fault tolerant control scheme for sensor faults is developed and validated using fault detection, identification and accommodation methods applied to a detailed non-linear simulation model and then validated on the experimental test rig. The results demonstrate that using a reliable fault tolerant control configuration could increase the availability and reliability of the switch in the presence of sensor faults. Finally, a fault tolerant control approach to actuator faults on the switch with triplex redundancy is developed and validated. In order to achieve this, a dynamic model of a railway track is developed in simulation as the basis for load application to the system. Three parallel actuators with their associated controllers are used to actuate the switch showing good performance in meeting the position control requirements. Different actuator faults are applied and their control performance results are shown. A summary of the control performance is also presented highlighting the differences in performance with different permutations of actuator faults. Overall, it is shown that redundancy in actuation with a suitable control scheme provides benefits in achieving post-fault availability of a redundantly actuated electromechanical railway track switch in the presence of actuator faults.

description: The recently proposed diagrammatic expansion (DE) technique for the full Gutzwiller wave function (GWF) is applied to the Anderson lattice model (ALM). This approach allows for a systematic evaluation of the expectation values with GWF in the finite dimensional systems. It introduces results extending in an essential manner those obtained by means of standard Gutzwiller Approximation (GA) scheme which is variationally exact only in infinite dimensions. Within the DE-GWF approach we discuss principal paramagnetic properties of ALM and their relevance to heavy fermion systems. We demonstrate the formation of an effective, narrow $f$-band originating from atomic $f$-electron states and subsequently interpret this behavior as a mutual intersite $f$-electron coherence; a combined effect of both the hybridization and the Coulomb repulsion. Such feature is absent on the level of GA which is equivalent to the zeroth order of our expansion. Formation of the hybridization- and electron-concentration-dependent narrow effective $f$-band rationalizes common assumption of such dispersion of $f$ levels in the phenomenological modeling of the band structure of CeCoIn$_5$. Moreover, we show that the emerging $f$-electron coherence leads in a natural manner to three physically distinct regimes within a single model, that are frequently discussed for 4$f$- or 5$f$- electron compounds as separate model situations. We identify these regimes as: (i) mixed-valence regime, (ii) Kondo-insulator border regime, and (iii) Kondo-lattice limit when the $f$-electron occupancy is very close to the $f$ electrons half-filling, $\langle\hat n_{f}\rangle\rightarrow1$. The non-Landau features of emerging correlated quantum liquid state are stressed.

description: This paper scrutinizes the notified domestic subsidy documents of major member countries of the WTO to draw implications for Korean agricultural policy. Every WTO member country should notify its implementation results of domestic subsidy reduction commitment to the WTO for review. The US classified direct payments as green box, but the WTO panel judged that cotton direct payment did not conform with the green box criteria in the UR agreement. Many countries have reduced market price support and depend more heavily on decoupled income support. Korea should follow the same trend in agricultural policy reform to overcome market opening. Many countries utilized technical tips which can be adopted in calculating Korea’s domestic subsidy amount in the future.

description: Dispersal is fundamental to population dynamics and hence extinction risk. The dispersal success of animals depends on the biophysical structure of their environments and their biological traits; however, comparatively little is known about how evolutionary trade-offs among suites of biological traits affect dispersal potential. We developed a spatially explicit agent-based simulation model to evaluate the influence of trade-offs among a suite of biological traits on the dispersal success of vagile animals in fragmented landscapes. We specifically chose traits known to influence dispersal success: speed of movement, perceptual range, risk of predation, need to forage during dispersal, and amount of suitable habitat required for successful settlement in a patch. Using the metric of relative dispersal success rate, we assessed how the costs and benefits of evolutionary investment in these biological traits varied with landscape structure. In heterogeneous environments with low habitat availability and scattered habitat patches, individuals with more equal allocation across the trait spectrum dispersed most successfully. Our analyses suggest that the dispersal success of animals in heterogeneous environments is highly dependent on hierarchical interactions between trait trade-offs and the geometric configurations of the habitat patches in the landscapes through which they disperse. In an applied sense, our results indicate potential for ecological mis-alignment between species' evolved suites of dispersal-related traits and altered environmental conditions as a result of rapid global change. In many cases identifying the processes that shape patterns of animal dispersal, and the consequences of abiotic changes for these processes, will require consideration of complex relationships among a range of organism-specific and environmental factors.

description: Surface conductance measurements on p-type doped germanium show a small but systematic change to the surface conductivity at different length scales. This effect is independent of the structure of the surface states. We interpret this phenomenon as a manifestation of conductivity changes beneath the surface. This hypothesis is confirmed by an analysis of the classical current flow equation. We derive an integral formula for calculating of the effective surface conductivity as a function of the distance from a point source. Furthermore we derive asymptotic values of the surface conductivity at small and large distances. The actual surface conductivity can only be sampled close to the current source. At large distances, the conductivity measured on the surface corresponds to the bulk value.

The Kinases MSK1 and MSK2 Are Required for Epidermal Growth Factor-induced, but Not Tumor Necrosis Factor-induced, Histone H3 Ser 10 Phosphorylation

description: Phosphorylation of histone H3 protein at serine 10 is an important step in chromatin remodeling during transcriptional transactivation. I[kappa]B kinase-[alpha] (IKK-[alpha]) and Mitogen- and Stress-activated protein Kinases 1 and 2 (MSK1/2) have been shown to play key roles in the transcriptional regulation of immediate early genes such as c-fos. Interestingly, IKK-[alpha] and MSK1/2 have also been implicated as histone H3-Ser¹⁰ kinases. In this work, we have shown that MSK1/2 are required for epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced, but not tumor necrosis factor-induced, histone H3-Ser¹⁰ phosphorylation, both globally and at specific promoters. Consistent with this, MSK1/2 are required for optimal immediate early c-fos transcription in response to EGF potentially through control of both H3-Ser¹⁰ and promoter-associated cAMP-response element-binding protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, MSK1/2 control EGF-induced I[kappa]B[alpha] promoter H3-Ser¹⁰ phosphorylation in the absence of elevated transcription. These studies demonstrate the existence of pathway-specific mechanisms to control histone H3-Ser¹⁰ phosphorylation and gene expression.

description: A key ingredient for single particle diffractive imaging experiments is the successful and efficient delivery of sample. Current sample-delivery methods are based on aerosol injectors in which the samples are driven by fluid-dynamic forces. These are typically simulated using Stokes' drag forces and for micrometer-size or smaller particles, the Cunningham correction factor is applied. This is not only unsatisfactory, but even using a temperature dependent formulation it fails at cryogenic temperatures. Here we propose the use of a direct computation of the force, based on Epstein's formulation, that allows for high relative velocities of the particles to the gas and also for internal particle temperatures that differ from the gas temperature. The new force reproduces Stokes' drag force for conditions known to be well described by Stokes' drag. Furthermore, it shows excellent agreement to experiments at 4 K, confirming the improved descriptive power of simulations over a wide temperature range.

description: We searched through roughly 12 years of archival survey data acquired by the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) as part of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) in order to detect or place limits on possible progenitor outbursts of Type IIn supernovae (SNe~IIn). The KAIT database contains multiple pre-SN images for 5 SNe~IIn (plus one ambiguous case of a SN IIn/imposter) within 50 Mpc. No progenitor outbursts are found using the false discovery rate (FDR) statistical method in any of our targets. Instead, we derive limiting magnitudes (LMs) at the locations of the SNe. These limiting magnitudes (typically reaching $m_R \approx 19.5\,\mathrm{mag}$) are compared to outbursts of SN 2009ip and $η$ Car, plus additional simulated outbursts. We find that the data for SN 1999el and SN 2003dv are of sufficient quality to rule out events $\sim40$ days before the main peak caused by initially faint SNe from blue supergiant (BSG) precursor stars, as in the cases of SN 2009ip and SN 2010mc. These SNe~IIn may thus have arisen from red supergiant progenitors, or they may have had a more rapid onset of circumstellar matter interaction. We also estimate the probability of detecting at least one outburst in our dataset to be $\gtrsim60\%$ for each type of the example outbursts, so the lack of any detections suggests that such outbursts are either typically less luminous (intrinsically or owing to dust) than $\sim -13\,\mathrm{mag}$, or not very common among SNe~IIn within a few years prior to explosion.

description: The short-term effects of exercise on appetite and ad libitum energy intake have received considerable interest as a potential strategy to reduce the prevalence of obesity over the past two decades. The experiments in this thesis have further investigated this topic by examining the appetite and the ad libitum energy intake responses in anticipation of an acute bout of aerobic exercise session. To achieve this, healthy, regularly active males and females (M= 55; F= 34; mean ± SD: age 24± 5 years; BMI 23.4± 3.2kg/m2) were recruited into four studies.The aim of the experiments in this thesis was to focus on the behavioural aspects of appetite and energy intake,and therefore, gut hormone responses were not investigated.

description: Activation of the MAPK pathway mediates insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)-dependent proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). Our previous studies have shown that IGF-I-induced Shc phosphorylation is necessary for sustained activation of MAPK and increased cell proliferation of SMCs, and both Shc and the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 must be recruited to the membrane protein SHPS-1 in order for Shc to be phosphorylated. These studies were undertaken to determine whether Src kinase activity is required to phosphorylate Shc in response to IGF-I in SMC and because SHP-2 binds to Src whether their interaction was also required for IGF-I-stimulated mitogenesis. Our results show that IGF-I induces activation of Src kinase and that is required for Shc phosphorylation and for optimal MAPK activation. We tested whether Shc is a substrate of c-Src in SMC by disrupting Src/Shc association using a peptide containing a YXXL (Tyr328) motif sequence derived from Src. The peptide blocked the binding of Src and Shc in vitro and in vivo. Cells expressing a mutant Src (Src-FF) that had Tyr328/Tyr358 substituted with phenylalanines (Src-FF) showed defective Src/Shc binding, impaired IGF-I-dependent Shc phorylation, and impaired mitogenesis. This supports the conclusion that Src phosphorylates Shc. IGF-I induced both Src/SHP-2 and Src/SHPS-1 association. SMCs expressing an SHP-2 mutant that had the polyproline-rich region of SH2 deleted (SHP-2Delta10) had disrupted SHP-2/Src association, impaired IGF-I-dependent Shc phosphorylation, and an attenuated mitogenic response. IGF-I-induced association of Src and SHPS-1 was also impaired in SHP-2Delata10-expressing cells, although SHP-2/SHPS-1 association was unaffected. Upon IGF-I stimulation, a complex assembles on SHPS-1 that contains SHP-2, c-Src, and Shc wherein Src phosphorylates Shc, a signaling step that is necessary for an optimal mitogenic response.

description: The prospect of coherent dynamics and excitonic delocalization across several light-harvesting structures in photosynthetic membranes is of considerable interest, but challenging to explore experimentally. Here we demonstrate theoretically that the excitonic delocalization across extended domains involving several light-harvesting complexes can lead to unambiguous signatures in the optical response, specifically, linear absorption spectra. We characterize, under experimentally established conditions of molecular assembly and protein-induced inhomogeneities, the optical absorption in these arrays from polarized and unpolarized excitation, and demonstrate that it can be used as a diagnostic tool to determine the coherent coupling among iso-energetic light-harvesting structures. The knowledge of these couplings would then provide further insight into the dynamical properties of transfer, such as facilitating the accurate determination of Förster rates.

description: Dispersal is fundamental to population dynamics and hence extinction risk. The dispersal success of animals depends on the biophysical structure of their environments and their biological traits; however, comparatively little is known about how evolutionary trade-offs among suites of biological traits affect dispersal potential. We developed a spatially explicit agent-based simulation model to evaluate the influence of trade-offs among a suite of biological traits on the dispersal success of vagile animals in fragmented landscapes. We specifically chose traits known to influence dispersal success: speed of movement, perceptual range, risk of predation, need to forage during dispersal, and amount of suitable habitat required for successful settlement in a patch. Using the metric of relative dispersal success rate, we assessed how the costs and benefits of evolutionary investment in these biological traits varied with landscape structure. In heterogeneous environments with low habitat availability and scattered habitat patches, individuals with more equal allocation across the trait spectrum dispersed most successfully. Our analyses suggest that the dispersal success of animals in heterogeneous environments is highly dependent on hierarchical interactions between trait trade-offs and the geometric configurations of the habitat patches in the landscapes through which they disperse. In an applied sense, our results indicate potential for ecological mis-alignment between species' evolved suites of dispersal-related traits and altered environmental conditions as a result of rapid global change. In many cases identifying the processes that shape patterns of animal dispersal, and the consequences of abiotic changes for these processes, will require consideration of complex relationships among a range of organism-specific and environmental factors.
China’s projection of ‘soft power’: media events, personalisation, and domestication in the era of Xi Jinping

description: Global media events attract large audiences providing an international stage for host states to promote their interests, this study considers global events as vital platforms for China to exercise soft power. By exercising soft power via global media events China can fulfil its national agenda through attraction and persuasion rather than utilising hard power such as military might and economic measures which are costly, and sometimes risky. Using content analysis and critical discourse analysis this study assesses how selected newspapers from four English-speaking western states – Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States – domesticate media events in which China is a key participant. It assesses to what extent they reproduced China’s intended message in which is observable in The People’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party of China. Personalisation has become a feature in many political systems around the world. China is no exception. Since President Xi Jinping took office in 2013, his distinct personal traits, especially as a man of the people, have dominated media coverage of him and of the CPC and China more broadly. This thesis considers how the personalisation of President Xi Jinping features in the performance of soft power. This thesis brings the concepts of soft power, media events and personalisation in order to examine how China projects and performs soft power in an international context. Three empirical chapters each take a single global media event which China hosted or participated in the era of Xi Jinping: Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the UK in 2015, G20 Hangzhou Summit in 2016, and the military parade for Commemoration of Chinese People’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression and World Anti-Fascist War in 2015. The findings show that China’s soft power messages are conveyed through these events but that they received different interpretations in different states and among various media sources. The findings suggest that the media’s perception of national interest, domestication in global news production, political alignment of media, and the relationship China has established with elites of other states, are key factors which influence how China, its national interest and motivations are represented in different media sources. The findings suggest that China’s soft power aims to target both domestic and foreign audiences. This thesis contributes to the understanding of the relationship between China’s projection of soft power and media coverage in the contemporary era of Xi Jinping.
