description: It is shown by numerical simulations within a regularized Biot-Savart law that dynamical systems of two or three leapfrogging coaxial quantum vortex rings having a core width $ξ$ and initially placed near a torus of radii $R_0$ and $r_0$, can be three-dimensionally (quasi-)stable in some regions of parameters $Λ=\ln(R_0/ξ)$ and $W=r_0/R_0$. At fixed $Λ$, stable bands on $W$ are intervals between non-overlapping main parametric resonances for different (integer) azimuthal wave numbers $m$. The stable intervals are most wide ($ΔW\sim$ 0.01--0.05) between $m$-pairs $(1,2)$ and $(2,3)$ at $Λ\approx$ 4--12 thus corresponding to micro/mesoscopic sizes of vortex rings in the case of superfluid $^4$He. With four and more rings, at least for $W>0.1$, resonances overlap for all $Λ$ and no stable domains exist.

description: We summarize our recent work on the construction and properties of fixed point (FP) actions for lattice $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory. These actions have scale invariant instanton solutions and their spectrum is exact through 1--loop, i.e. in their physical predictions there are no $a^n$ nor $g^2 a^n$ cut--off effects for any $n$. We present a few-parameter approximation to a classical FP action which is valid for short correlation lengths. We perform a scaling test of the action by computing the quantity $G = L \sqrt{σ(L)}$, where the string tension $σ(L)$ is measured from the torelon mass $μ= L σ(L)$, on lattices of fixed physical volume and varying lattice spacing $a$. While the Wilson action shows scaling violations of about ten per cent, the approximate fixed point action scales within the statistical errors for $ 1/2 \ge aT_c$.

description: Ecologically safe antifouling solutions have received growing attention since the acknowledgment of the environmental risks of traditional biocides used currently. Given that bacteria constitute the initial stage of the biofouling process, this work aims to evaluate the antifouling potential of aquatic macrophyte extracts in inhibiting biofilm-forming bacteria and to evaluate their ecotoxicological effects on target and nontarget organisms (Thalassiosira pseudonana and Nitokra sp.). For this, the ability of 25 macrophyte extracts to inhibit and eradicate single and multispecies estuarine biofilms was evaluated. The extracts and respective serial dilutions that showed a biofilm inhibitory effect ≥ 60% were evaluated in ecotoxicological assays. Of the 25 extracts, only 6 extracts inhibited the biofilm ≥ 60%. The extracts of Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus stood out as having a biofilm inhibitory effect ≥ 80% (p < 0.05) for bacterial isolates and ≥ 70% (p < 0.05) for multispecies biofilms. Furthermore, these extracts showed no toxic effects on nontarget organisms. These results demonstrate the biotechnological potential of macrophyte compounds.

A circumstellar dust disk around T Tau N: Sub-arcsecond imaging at 3 mm

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We present high-resolution imaging of the young binary T Tauri in 3 mm continuum emission. Compact dust emission with integrated flux density 50 +/- 6 mJy is resolved in an aperture synthesis map at 0.5" resolution and is centered at the position of the optically visible component, T Tau N. No emission above a 3 sigma level of 9 mJy is detected 0.7" south of T Tau N at the position of the infrared companion, T Tau S. We interpret the continuum detection as arising from a circumstellar disk around T Tau N and estimate its properties by fitting a flat-disk model to visibilities at wavelengths of 1 and 3 mm and to the flux density at 7 mm. Given the data, probability distributions are calculated for values of the free parameters, including the temperature, density, dust opacity, and the disk outer radius. The radial variation in temperature and density is not narrowly constrained by the data. The most likely value of the frequency dependence of the dust opacity, beta = 0.53^{+0.27}_{-0.17}, is consistent with that of disks around other T Tauri stars in which grain growth is believed to have taken place. The outer radius, R = 41^{+26}_{-14} AU, is smaller than the projected binary separation, and may indicate truncation of the disk. The total mass estimated for the disk, log(M/M_sun) = {-2.4}^{+0.7}_{-0.6}, is similar to masses observed around many young single sources and to the minimum nebular mass required to form a planetary system like our own. This observation strongly suggests that the presence of a binary companion does not rule out the formation of a sizeable planetary system.

description: Inflationary cosmological perturbations of quantum-mechanical origin generically interact with all degrees of freedom present in the early Universe. Therefore, they must be viewed as an open quantum system in interaction with an environment. This implies that, under some conditions, decoherence can take place. The presence of the environment can also induce modifications in the power spectrum, thus offering an observational probe of cosmic decoherence. Here, we demonstrate that this also leads to non Gaussianities that we calculate using the Lindblad equation formalism. We show that, while the bispectrum remains zero, the four-point correlation functions become non-vanishing. Using the Cosmic Microwave Background measurements of the trispectrum by the Planck satellite, we derive constraints on the strength of the interaction between the perturbations and the environment and show that, in some regimes, they are more stringent than those arising from the power spectrum.

Multivariate Functional Regression Via Nested Reduced-Rank Regularization

Subjects: Neuroscience

description: We propose a nested reduced-rank regression (NRRR) approach in fitting a regression model with multivariate functional responses and predictors to achieve tailored dimension reduction and facilitate model interpretation and visualization. Our approach is based on a two-level low-rank structure imposed on the functional regression surfaces. A global low-rank structure identifies a small set of latent principal functional responses and predictors that drives the underlying regression association. A local low-rank structure then controls the complexity and smoothness of the association between the principal functional responses and predictors. The functional problem boils down to an integrated matrix approximation task through basis expansion, where the blocks of an integrated low-rank matrix share some common row space and/or column space. This nested reduced-rank structure also finds potential applications in multivariate time series modeling and tensor regression. A blockwise coordinate descent algorithm is developed. We establish the consistency of NRRR and show through nonasymptotic analysis that it can achieve at least a comparable error rate to that of the reduced-rank regression. Simulation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of NRRR. We apply the proposed methods in an electricity demand problem to relate daily electricity consumption trajectories with daily temperatures. Supplementary files for this article are available online.

description: The two dimensional $CP^1$ model with $θ$ term is simulated. We compute the topological charge distribution $P(Q)$ by employing the ``set method" and ``trial function method", which are effective in the calculations for very wide range of $Q$ and large volume. The distribution $P(Q)$ shows the Gaussian behavior in the small $β$ (inverse coupling constant) region and deviates from it in the large $β$ region. The free energy and its moment are calculated as a function of $θ$. For small $β$, the partition function is given by the elliptic theta function, and the distribution of its zeros on the complex $θ$ plane leads to the first order phase transition at $θ=π$. In the large $β$ region, on the other hand, this first order phase transition disappears, but definite conclusion concerning the transition is not reached due to large errors.

description: We construct a Galilean invariant non-gravitational closed string theory whose excitations satisfy a non-relativistic dispersion relation. This theory can be obtained by taking a consistent low energy limit of any of the conventional string theories, including the heterotic string. We give a finite first order worldsheet Hamiltonian for this theory and show that this string theory has a sensible perturbative expansion, interesting high energy behavior of scattering amplitudes and a Hagedorn transition of the thermal ensemble. The strong coupling duals of the Galilean superstring theories are considered and are shown to be described by an eleven-dimensional Galilean invariant theory of light membrane fluctuations. A new class of Galilean invariant non-gravitational theories of light-brane excitations are obtained. We exhibit dual formulations of the strong coupling limits of these Galilean invariant theories and show that they exhibit many of the conventional dualities of M theory in a non-relativistic setting.

description: We carry out CCD photometry of galaxies in the 5.25 square region centered on Coma cluster down to $M_R=-16.0$, beyond the limit of conventional morphological classification. We use the angular two-point correlation function as well as radial profiles in order to characterize the luminosity segregation. We find strong luminosity segregation for our total sample over the magnitude range of $-20 \leq M_R \leq -16$, which is not entirely accounted for in terms of the morphology-density relation that is known to exist only for bright galaxies. We use a single consistent parameter, the degree of luminosity concentration, to parameterize the morphology of galaxies over the wide magnitude range, where both giant and dwarf galaxies are included. Galaxies with high central concentration (HCC) show strong luminosity segregation, i.e. their clustering strength depends strongly on luminosity while those with low central concentration (LCC) show almost no luminosity segregation. Radial density profile shows that brighter HCC-type galaxies tend to more strongly concentrate near the cluster center while LCC-type galaxies do not show such a dependence on luminosity. We show that these results are tenable against the contamination by field galaxies and uncertainties in our method of classification.

For many applications in optics these superpositions can be seen as having a homogeneous intensity. Our superpositions show interesting one- two- and three dimensional patterns in their helicity densities, including several that support bright regions of superchirality. Our superpositions might be used to write chiral patterns in certain materials and, conversely, such materials might be used as the basis of an 'optical helicity' camera capable of recording spatial variations in helicity.

We focused on the relation between the power spectrum of a time sequence of spins and diffusive motion of an interface which was already clarified in one- dimensional systems with a nonequilibrium phase transition like the asymmetric simple exclusion process. It is clarified that the interface motion is a diffusion process with a drift force toward the higher-temperature side when the system is in contact with heat reservoirs at different temperatures and heat transfers through the system. Effects of the width of the interface are also discussed.

description: We investigate a generalized Ising action containing nearest neighbour, next to nearest neighbour and plaquette terms that has been suggested as a potential string worldsheet discretization on cubic lattices by Savvidy and Wegner. We use both mean field techniques and Monte-Carlo simulations to sketch out the phase diagram. The Gonihedric (Savvidy-Wegner) model has a symmetry that allows any plane of spins to be flipped with zero energy cost, which gives a highly degenerate vacuum state. We choose boundary conditions in the simulations that eliminate this degeneracy and allow the definition of a simple ferromagnetic order parameter. This in turn allows us to extract the magnetic critical exponents of the system.
description: Latex plus 6 postscript figures bundled together with uufiles. The paper has been completely revised: a judicious choice of boundary conditions now allows the extraction of magnetic critical exponents.

description: We examine the T-duality relation between 1+1 NCOS and the DLCQ limit of type IIA string theory. We show that, as long as there is a compact dimension, one can meaningfully define an `NCOS' limit of IIB/A string theory even in the absence of D-branes (and even if there is no B-field). This yields a theory of closed strings with strictly positive winding, which is T-dual to DLCQ IIA/B without any D-branes. We call this the Type IIB/A Wound String Theory. The existence of decoupled sectors can be seen directly from the energy spectrum, and mirrors that of the DLCQ theory. It becomes clear then that all of the different p+1 NCOS theories are simply different states of this single Wound IIA/B theory which contain D-branes. We study some of the properties of this theory. In particular, we show that upon toroidal compactification, Wound string theory is U-dual to various Wrapped Brane theories which contain OM theory and the ODp theories as special states.

description: This study investigated the impact of lyophilized Euterpe oleracea (LEO) in the diet of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) on antioxidant capacity following transport stress. Six diets with varying LEO concentrations (0.00, 0.63, 1.25, 2.50, 5.00, and 10.0%) were administered. After a 30-day feeding period, the fish from each diet were subjected to simulated transport for 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. No mortality was observed during the posttransport simulation. Dietary LEO appeared to conserve dissolved oxygen in water. The inclusion of 1.25% and 10.0% LEO enhanced the hepatic total antioxidant capacity by 42% and 53%, respectively, compared to the control during transport for up to 12 h. Additionally, 5.00%–10.0% LEO mitigated lipid peroxidation in the brain, gills, and liver of tambaqui for up to 12 h, remaining effective in the gills for 24 h. Consequently, considering its potential to alleviate oxidative stress, the incorporation of 5.00% to 10.0% LEO into the diet is a promising strategy for enhancing the resilience of fish during transport lasting up to 12 h.

description: In the absence of acceleration, the velocity formula gives "distance travelled equals speed multiplied by time". For a broad class of Markov chains such as circulant Markov chains or random walk on complete graphs, we prove a probabilistic analogue of the velocity formula between entropy and hitting time, where distance is the entropy of the Markov trajectories from state $i$ to state $j$ in the sense of [L. Ekroot and T. M. Cover. The entropy of Markov trajectories. IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 39(4): 1418-1421.], speed is the classical entropy rate of the chain, and the time variable is the expected hitting time between $i$ and $j$. This motivates us to define new entropic counterparts of various hitting time parameters such as average hitting time or commute time, and prove analogous velocity formulae and estimates between these quantities.

Synthetic studies on halogenated metabolites from Laurencia species
Creators: name: Bonney, Karl James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is presented in three parts: the first entitled “Proposal and Validation of an Alternative Biogenesis for Halogenated Medium-Ring Ethers From Laurencia Species”; the second “Towards the Total Synthesis of the Obtusallene Natural Products”; and the third provides experimental details and characterising data for compounds. Laurencia, which is a species of marine red algae produces an astonishingly diverse array of halogenated acetogenic natural products, including 7-, 8- and 9-membered medium-ring ethers, as well 11- and 12-membered ether-containing macrocycles. Part I of this thesis provides an alternative biogenesis to the long-standing Irie-Murai biogenesis for the halogenated medium-ring ether natural products. The Irie-Murai biogenesis proposes that diol containing compounds undergo an electrophilic bromoetherification reaction to produce the various compounds, whereas we instead postulate that the compounds arise from electrophilic bromonium ion-assisted ring-opening of an enantiopure epoxide. Some initial studies on a model system for the key bromonium ion-assisted epoxide ringopening reaction are described, including an interesting concentration effect. The synthesis of an enantioenriched epoxy-diene precursor to cyclisation is discussed, where a regioselective asymmetric homoallylic epoxidation reaction was required. Some initial unsuccessful cyclisation attempts are presented, as is a successful cyclisation in which bromine-containing 7-, 8- and 9- membered ring-ethers were produced, which represent the core motifs of 5 structurally-diverse natural products. Initial studies to prepare the novel β,γ-epoxy-enyne motif which is found in our proposed biogenetic precursor are also described, culminating in the synthesis of a model system. Part II of this thesis is a continuation of on-going work within this group towards the total synthesis of the obtusallene family of natural products, the halogenated macrocyclic natural products mentioned above. The gram-scale optimisation of reactions involving late-stage intermediates in the total synthesis of obtusallenes II and IV is described. This includes improving the reproducibility of a biomimetic bromoetherification reaction, as well as providing insight into the mechanism of an interesting cyanation reaction which is a synthetically-useful adaptation of a known procedure. Also, an interesting diastereomer-dependent and catalyst-dependent ring-closing metathesis reaction is discussed. Synthetic routes to highly advanced macrocyclic intermediates in the synthesis of obtusallenes II and IV have now been firmly established.
Role of cyclo-oxygenase and related pathways in vascular health and disease

description: The cardioprotective hormone prostacyclin is a potent inhibitor of platelet activation and is produced in vascular endothelium by the concerted actions of cyclo-oxygenase and prostacyclin synthase. There is an ongoing, heated debate about which COX isoform (COX-1 or COX-2) regulates endothelial prostacyclin production. This is an important area of study since non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or COX-2 selective inhibitors, used to treat arthritis, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, which has been linked to a reduction of urinary markers of prostacyclin. Thus, the aim of my thesis was to investigate the relative contribution of COX-1 versus COX-2 to endothelial prostacyclin production and vascular function. Using en face confocal imaging, I found that COX-1 immunoreactivity predominates over COX-2 in the endothelium of all blood vessels studied, including aortic arches from healthy wild type (WT, C57BL/6J) mice, in WT mice injected with endotoxin, ApoE-/- mice, rats with chronic heart failure and in human pulmonary artery. I have performed bioassays with blood vessels from WT versus COX-1-/- and COX-2-/- mice to show that COX-1 not COX-2 drives the majority of vascular prostacyclin production in both young (3 month old) and mature (12 month old) mice of both sexes. Phenotypic differences in the COX-1-/- and COX-2-/- mice included elevated levels of nuclear ‘primed’ NF-κB in the endothelium of both the protected (greater) and atherosclerosis-susceptible (lesser) curvature of the aortic arch. Despite COX-2-/- mice having normal endothelial prostacyclin production, more platelets adhered to the lesser curvature of the aortic arch. The techniques and validation protocols employed have shown COX-1 as the predominant endothelial COX isoform, responsible for vascular prostacyclin production. Low levels of constitutive COX-2 was found localised to susceptible areas of the vasculature where it may contribute to prostacyclin production on a local level to limit inflammation, atherosclerosis and platelet adhesion.

Molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in a triple negative breast cancer cell model
Creators: name: Adams, Caroline
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: p53 is a transcription factor activated by genotoxic stress. Dependent on the level of DNA damage, p53 can either trigger cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or programmed cell death. DNA damaging agents that activate p53 are commonly used in the treatment of cancer. If p53 inducible proteins that promote arrest and repair and inhibit apoptosis are up-regulated, tumours can become resistant to many types of treatment (multidrug resistance, MDR). MDR leads to treatment failure, metastases, and death in breast cancer patients. It is especially important in patients who rely solely on chemotherapy because they do not express hormone receptors and thus, do not benefit from endocrine therapies (e.g. tamoxifen). We have generated a triple-negative doxorubicin resistant breast cancer cell line (CALDOX) and shown by RNA array and qPCR analysis that p53-inducible cell survival factor (p53CSV), a p53-inducible inhibitor of apoptosis, is up-regulated in CALDOX and inducible by doxorubicin. Transient knockdowns of p53CSV sensitised CALDOX cells to doxorubicin, but stable knockdowns failed to support this preliminary data. However, CALDOX cells maintained expression of arrest and repair proteins p21 and p53CSV at high levels of genotoxic stress by doxorubicin—while CAL51 cells induced apoptotic protein p53AIP1 and underwent apoptosis. Although it is unlikely that p53CSV acts as a sole factor in MDR in CALDOX cells, p53CSV and other p53 arrest and repair proteins are likely an important factor in MDR through the evasion of apoptosis and promotion of DNA repair in CALDOX cells. Interestingly, we find that p53CSV is widely expressed in normal healthy tissues, conserved across eukaryotes, and in CAL51 cells, only partially p53-dependent—indicating that p53CSV may have an important role separate of p53, perhaps in the control of proliferating cells during development.

description: We present a systematic study of a new type of consistent ``Brane-world Kaluza-Klein Reduction,'' which describe fully non-linear deformations of co-dimension one objects that arise as solutions of a large class of gauged supergravity theories in diverse dimensions, and whose world-volume theories are described by ungauged supergravities with one half of the original supersymmetry. In addition, we provide oxidations of these Ansatze which are in general related to sphere compactified higher dimensional string theory or M-theory. Within each class we also provide explicit solutions of brane configurations localised on the world-brane. We show that at the Cauchy horizon (in the transverse dimension of the consistently Kaluza-Klein reduced world-brane) there is a curvature singularity for any configuration with a non-null Riemann curvature or a non-vanishing Ricci scalar that lives in the world-brane. Since the massive Kaluza-Klein modes can be consistently decoupled, they cannot participate in regulating these singularities.

description: Starting from a real scalar quantum field theory with quartic self-interactions and non-minimal coupling to classical gravity, we define four equal-time, spatially covariant phase-space operators through a Wigner transformation of spatially translated canonical operators within a 3+1 decomposition. A subset of these operators can be interpreted as fluctuating particle densities in phase-space whenever the quantum state of the system allows for a classical limit. We come to this conclusion by expressing hydrodynamic variables through the expectation values of these operators and moreover, by deriving the dynamics of the expectation values within a spatial gradient expansion and a 1-loop approximation which subsequently yields the Vlasov equation with a self-mass correction as a limit. We keep an arbitrary classical metric in the 3+1 decomposition which is assumed to be determined semi-classically. Our formalism allows to systematically study the transition from quantum field theory in curved space-time to classical particle physics for this minimal model of self-interacting, gravitating matter. As an application we show how to include relativistic and self-interaction corrections to existing dark matter models in a kinetic description by taking into account the gravitational slip, vector perturbations and tensor perturbations.
