description: We present $UBVI$ and H$α$ images of a sample of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) disk galaxies. These galaxies are generally late types, if they can be sensibly classified at all. However, they are not dwarfs, being intrinsically large and luminous. The morphology of LSB galaxies is discussed in terms of the physical interpretation of the Hubble sequence. Galaxies with high contrast relative to the sky background are subject to being more finely typed than those which appear merely as fuzzy blobs on photographic plates. This causes the stages of the Hubble sequence to be nonlinear in the sense that large morphological type distinctions are made between high surface brightness spirals when only small physical differences exist, and small morphological distinctions are made between low surface brightness galaxies even when large physical differences exist. Many LSB galaxies lack the old red disk conspicuous in higher surface brightness spirals. Their morphology is strikingly similar in all bands from $U$ to $I$, suggesting farily homogeneous stellar populations lacking a well developed giant branch. These properties, together with their very blue colors, suggest that LSB galaxies are relatively younger than their high surface brightness counterparts. A few of these LSB galaxies appear to be very young ($\simlt 1$~Gyr), and as such may represent local examples of protogalaxies.

description: We discuss the properties of an accretion disk around a star with parameters typical of classical T Tauri stars (CTTS), and with the average accretion rate for these disks. The disk is assumed steady and geometrically thin. The turbulent viscosity coefficient is expressed using the alpha prescription and the main heating mechanisms considered are viscous dissipation and irradiation by the central star. The energy is transported by radiation, turbulent conduction and convection. We find that irradiation from the central star is the main heating agent of the disk, except in the innermost regions, R less than 2 AU. The irradiation increases the temperature of the outer disk relative to the purely viscous case. As a consequence, the outer disk (R larger than 5 AU) becomes less dense, optically thin and almost vertically isothermal, with a temperature distribution T proportional to R^{-1/2}. The decrease in surface density at the outer disk, decreases the disk mass by a factor of 4 respect to a purely viscous case. In addition, irradiation tends to make the outer disk regions stable against gravitational instabilities.

description: Graphene has proven to host outstanding mesoscopic effects involving massless Dirac quasiparticles travelling ballistically resulting in the current flow exhibiting light-like behaviour. A new branch of 2D electronics inspired by the standard principles of optics is rapidly evolving, calling for a deeper understanding of transport in large-scale devices at a quantum level. Here we perform large-scale quantum transport calculations based on a tight-binding model of graphene and the non-equilibrium Green's function method and include the effects of $p-n$ junctions of different shape, magnetic field, and absorptive regions acting as drains for current. We stress the importance of choosing absorbing boundary conditions in the calculations to correctly capture how current flows in the limit of infinite devices. As a specific application we present a fully quantum-mechanical framework for the "2D Dirac fermion microscope" recently proposed by Bøggild $et\, al.$ [Nat. Comm. 8, 10.1038 (2017)], tackling several key electron-optical effects therein predicted via semiclassical trajectory simulations, such as electron beam collimation, deflection and scattering off Veselago dots. Our results confirm that a semiclassical approach to a large extend is sufficient to capture the main transport features in the mesoscopic limit and the optical regime, but also that a richer electron-optical landscape is to be expected when coherence or other purely quantum effects are accounted for in the simulations.

description: The binary neutron star merger GW170817 was accompanied by radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum and localized to the galaxy NGC 4993 at a distance of 41+/-3 Mpc. The radio and X-ray afterglows of GW170817 exhibited delayed onset, a gradual rise in the emission with time as t^0.8, a peak at about 150 days post-merger, followed by a relatively rapid decline. To date, various models have been proposed to explain the afterglow emission, including a choked-jet cocoon and a successful-jet cocoon (a.k.a. structured jet). However, the observational data have remained inconclusive as to whether GW170817 launched a successful relativistic jet. Here we show, through Very Long Baseline Interferometry, that the compact radio source associated with GW170817 exhibits superluminal motion between two epochs at 75 and 230 days post-merger. This measurement breaks the degeneracy between the models and indicates that, while the early-time radio emission was powered by a wider-angle outflow (cocoon), the late-time emission was most likely dominated by an energetic and narrowly-collimated jet, with an opening angle of <5 degrees, and observed from a viewing angle of about 20 degrees. The imaging of a collimated relativistic outflow emerging from GW170817 adds substantial weight to the growing evidence linking binary neutron star mergers and short gamma-ray bursts.

description: We present optical morphologies obtained from deep HST and ground-based images for galaxies selected from the first sub-millimeter survey of the distant Universe. Our sample comprises galaxies detected in deep 850-micron continuum maps of seven massive clusters, obtained using SCUBA, the new bolometer camera on the JCMT. The survey covers a total area of 0.01 square degrees to 1-sigma noise levels of about 2 mJy/beam. We detect a total of 25 sources at 850 microns, of which 17 and 10 are brighter than the respective 50% and 80% completeness limits. Optical counterparts are identified for 14 of the 16 sources in the f(50%) sample and for 9 of the 10 sources in the f(80%) sample that lie within our optical fields. The morphologies of those galaxies for which we have HST imaging fall into three broad categories: faint disturbed galaxies and interactions; faint galaxies too compact to classify reliably; and dusty, star-forming galaxies at intermediate redshifts. The disturbed and interacting galaxies constitute the largest class, which suggests that interactions remain an important mechanism for triggering star formation and the formation of ultraluminous galaxies in the distant Universe. The faint, compact galaxies may represent a later evolutionary stage in these mergers, or more centrally-concentrated starbursts. It is likely that some of these will host AGN. Analysis of the colors of our sample allow us to estimate a crude redshift distribution: >75% have z<5.5 whilst >50% lie at z<4.5, suggesting that the luminous sub-mm population is coeval with the more modestly star-forming galaxies selected by UV/optical surveys of the distant Universe. This imposes important constraints on models of galaxy formation and evolution.

Thermodynamic properties of the one-dimensional Robin quantum well

description: Thermodynamic properties of Robin quantum well with extrapolation length $Λ$ are analyzed theoretically both for canonical and two grand canonical ensembles with special attention being paid to situation when energies of one or two lowest-lying states are split-off from rest of spectrum by large gap that is controlled by varying $Λ$. For single split-off level, which exists for the geometry with equal magnitudes but opposite signs of Robin distances on confining interfaces, heat capacity $c_V$ of canonical averaging is a nonmonotonic function of temperature $T$ with its salient maximum growing to infinity as $\ln^2Λ$ for decreasing to zero extrapolation length and its position being proportional to $1/(Λ^2\lnΛ)$. Specific heat per particle $c_N$ of Fermi-Dirac ensemble depends nonmonotonically on temperature too with its pronounced extremum being foregone on $T$ axis by plateau whose value at dying $Λ$ is $(N-1)/(2N)k_B$, with $N$ being a number of fermions. Maximum of $c_N$, similar to canonical averaging, unrestrictedly increases as $Λ$ goes to zero and is the largest for one particle. Most essential property of Bose-Einstein ensemble is a formation, for growing number of bosons, of sharp asymmetric shape on the $c_N-T$ characteristics that is more protrusive at the smaller Robin distances. This cusp-like structure is a manifestation of the phase transition to the condensate state. For two split-off orbitals, one additional maximum emerges whose position is shifted to colder temperatures with increase of energy gap between these two states and their higher-lying counterparts and whose magnitude approaches $Λ$-independent value. All these physical phenomena are qualitatively and quantitatively explained by variation of energy spectrum by Robin distance.

Matrix models in population ecology
Creators: name: Shea, Katriona
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 1994

description: Matrix theory is a powerful tool in the study and description of populations. This study commences by discussing the theory relevant to ecological studies, before reviewing recent uses of matrix models in population dynamics. Stage-structured and multistate matrix models are then developed to describe populations of Cirsium palustre in the U.K. and of Carduus nutans in New Zealand. These models were parameterized using field data and provide information on transient dynamics, long-term growth rates, reproductive contributions and eventual stable distributions. Sensitivity and elasticity analyses allow the robustness of the models and the relative contributions of the various life history stages to the population growth rate to be assessed. In the case of C. nutans, a major weed pest ofpasture land, this allows ontogenetic states vulnerable to control by mechanical, chemical or biological means to be targeted. These models are further refined to include the effects of environmental stochasticity. For C. palustre, lack of information on the existence and persistence of a seed bank limited the model construction, and so field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to provide additional information about seed viability and the factors affecting seedUng recruitment and survival. In addition, a theoretical critique of the use in comparative ecology of elasticity analysis to detect trade-offs in life history strategies is presented. Simulation and analytical studies indicate that this approach is not valid. Finally, the use of matrix models in evolutionary demography and management strategy formulation is discussed. As a whole, this thesis illustrates the strength and versatility of matrix models used in population ecology.

Roles of Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNAs during EBV latent infection
Creators: name: Boulden, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus that establishes lifelong latent infection in B lymphocytes. It is known to contribute to several malignancies including Burkitt's lymphoma (BL), Hodgkin's lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. EBV produces two non-coding RNAs, EBERs (Epstein-Barr encoded RNAs) 1 and 2, which are the most abundant viral transcripts in latent infection. EBER1 and EBER2 are expressed at high levels in almost all cells of EBV-associated malignancies and have been reported to contribute to the oncogenic phenotype of EBV-positive BL. Recent microarray analysis of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) containing EBER deletion mutants of EBV has identified several genes whose expression changes in response to deletion of EBER1 or EBER2. EBERs have also been recently shown to induce interferon alpha during the first three days of EBV infection. Therefore gene expression in B cells was investigated during early EBV infection, using recombinant EBER knockout EBV strains, with a focus on microarray targets and interferon alpha genes. The study showed that expression changes in the target genes did not occur directly following infection, indicating that expression changes previously identified were the downstream result of complex processes. The other method developed to investigate roles of the EBERs was the introduction of EBER expression into EBER negative cell lines using a lentiviral vector-based approach. This will enable stable EBER-expression in a variety of cell lines once the variability in EBER expression has been improved.

Specification and Performance Optimisation of Real-time Trading Strategies for Betting Exchange Platforms
Creators: name: Tsirimpas, Polyvios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Since their introduction in June 2000, betting exchanges have revolutionised the nature and practice of betting. Betting exchange markets share some similarities with financial markets in terms of their operation. However, in stark contrast to financial markets, there are very few quantitative analysis tools available to support the development of automated betting exchange trading strategies. This thesis confronts challenges related to the generic specification, back-testing, optimisation and execution of parameterised automated trading strategies for betting exchange markets, and presents a related framework called SPORTSBET. The framework is built on an open-source event-driven platform called URBI, which, to date, has been mainly used to develop applications in the domains of robotics and artificial intelligence. SPORTSBET consists of three main components, each of which addresses a hitherto-unmet research challenge. The first is UBEL, a novel generic betting strategy specification language based on the event-driven scripting language of URBI, which can be used to specify parameterised betting strategies for markets related to a wide range of sports. The second is a complex event processor which is capable of synchronising multiple data streams and either replaying them on an historical basis with dynamic market re-construction, in order to quantify strategy performance, or executing them in real time with either real or virtual capital. The final component is an optimisation platform whereby strategy parameters are automatically refined using a stochastic search heuristic in order to improve strategy performance. Explicitly, the optimisation process involves stochastic initialisation, intermediate stochastic selection and acceptance of the candidate solution. To demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of SPORTSBET, case studies are presented for betting strategies for a range of sports. As illustrated in the case studies, the SPORTSBET optimisation platform implements Walk-Forward Analysis for the robust parameterisation of betting exchange trading strategies without overfitting. Nonetheless, the outcomes should be carefully interpreted, while numerous tests of a strategy are recommended.
TRAPD: Online Review Discussion in International Survey Translation Projects

description: This presentation was held during an SSH Training Community Call in November 2020. The focus of this presentation was on experiences on how to organize online review discussions for the social scientist involved in the translation process for international surveys. According to the state-of-the-art translation quality assurance in international surveys, a so-called TRAPD model is used. TRAPD is an acronym for Translation, Review, Adjudication, Pre-testing, and Documentation (for a more detailed description of the TRAPD model see, for instance, Harkness, 2003). The state-of-the-art procedures in survey questionnaire translation and assessment practice are the integration of the TRAPD model with a „team approach“. The team approach includes two translators at the step Translation, preferably one of whom should be a professional translator, and at least three people at the step Review, one of whom should be a social scientist, familiar with questionnaire design principles. While translations are done online with help of translation tools, the review discussion is held in form of in-person meetings to discuss the two translation versions to come to a single finalized one. Based on questionnaire length such review meetings can take up to 8 hours a day and last for many days. Because of the current situation, many of the in-person meetings have been moved online. The same applies to the review discussions in international surveys, e.g. ESS, ISSP, and projects, e.g. SSHOC project 4.3. During these online review discussions based on trials and errors, some general principles have been laid out for such review meetings.

Observable Properties of X-ray Heated Winds in AGN: Warm Reflectors and Warm Absorbers

description: When an AGN is obscured, the warm reflecting gas nearby can be seen by a combination of bremsstrahlung, intrinsic line emission, and reflection of the nuclear continuum, both by electron scattering and by resonance line scattering. Resonance lines, due both to intrinsic emission and scattering, are particularly prominent in the soft X-ray band. When our line of sight to the nucleus is not obscured, the dominant effect is absorption. In the soft X-ray band, ionization edges of highly ionized species and resonance lines contribute comparably to the opacity; in the ultraviolet, the gas is almost transparent except for a small number of resonance lines. We identify the "warm absorbers" seen in many AGN X-ray spectra with this gas, but argue that most of the UV absorption lines seen must be due to a small amount of more weakly ionized gas which is embedded in the main body of the warm, reflecting gas. Because the ionization equilibration timescales of some ions may be as long as the variability timescales in AGN, the ionic abundances indicated by the transmission spectra may not be well-described by ionization equilibrium.

An investigation into perioperative outcome following gastrointestinal resection in England
Creators: name: Mamidanna, Ravikrishna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis represents research from Hospital Episode Statistics data and provides an insight into gastrointestinal resectional surgery in England. It examines national outcomes following major colorectal resection, oesophagectomy and gastrectomy. Having established these outcomes, I ventured to investigate the commonly used mortality measures in the literature. I also studied the timing and causes of deaths following colorectal resection in English NHS Trust hospital. I was able to demonstrate that a significant number of adverse outcomes occur beyond the initial hospital stay. I evaluated the role of two key factors - minimally invasive surgery and surgeon volume in trying to mitigate these adverse outcomes. I found that national outcome following elective or planned colorectal resection are comparable with other published cancer registry reports in England. For upper gastrointestinal resection for cancer, however, outcome are significantly worse than those from Far East, but superior to studies from the States. I derived 'medical morbidity' by studying secondary codes for medical complications. Surgical complications were quantified by using surrogates such as unplanned re-operation and re-intervention following the initial procedure. I undertook a review of the literature for published outcomes following planned colorectal resection in the elderly. This demonstrated heterogeneity in studies with regards to sample size and type of study. The most commonly used measure of post-operative risk was in-hospital or 30-day mortality. In the elderly population, we demonstrated high mortality up to one year following emergency colorectal resection. To understand this excess mortality that is not taken into account by short term metrics, we studied the causes of deaths in these patients. Significant deaths occur in the young and elderly due to cardiac causes, up to one year following major colorectal resection. This calls for further research to define a new intermediate term metric that accurately quantifies the mortality risk. The uptake of minimally invasive gastrointestinal resection in England has been promising. During the study period there has been a steady rise in number of resections undertaken laparoscopically. In colorectal surgery, laparoscopic resection has been associated with shorter length of stay, reduced morbidity and mortality. Outcome following minimally invasive oesophagectomy and gastrectomy have shown this technique to be safe and potentially beneficial in reducing pulmonary complications and length of stay. However further research is needed into this. Oesophagectomy, gastrectomy and pancreatectomy for cancer have all demonstrated a positive volume-outcome relationship. With increasing surgeon caseload, risk of 30-day mortality is lower. These structure and process measures may be utilised by policy makers to improve outcome following gastrointestinal resection in England.

Various active groups (e.g., hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, and phosphate) on microbial cell surfaces can adsorb heavy metals through complexation or chelation, forming heavy metal precipitates and thereby reducing the toxicity of heavy metals. However, the effects and mechanisms of using sludge after anaerobic fermentation to remove Cr(VI) are unclear, such as the dominance of direct versus indirect biological reduction, the contribution of abiotic effects, and the influence of fermentation conditions. This paper compares Cr(VI) removal in fermented and unfermented sludges. After fermentation for 24 h, 99.9% of the Cr(VI) (50 mg/L) in anaerobic sludge was removed within 7 h, which was twice the rate in unfermented activated sludge. A series of comparative experiments demonstrated that Cr(VI) removal primarily occurred through biological effects (about 92%), which included biological reduction and biosorption. 16SrRNA gene sequencing revealed that Cr(VI) transformation primarily occurred through direct biological reduction, with the related genera being Trichococcus, Acetobacter, Aeromonas, and Tolumonas. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy results showed that the C = O and C–O functionalities on sludge were likely involved in the Cr(VI) conversion. Majority of the Cr(VI) in the system was reduced to Cr(III) and existed in the suspension, with a small amount deposited on the sludge surface. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicated that the majority of Cr was present as reduced Cr(III) on the sludge. These results demonstrate that after fermentation in an aqueous environment, activated sludge is an effective medium for the remediation of Cr(VI). These results are useful for designing a green and sustainable bioreduction system for the remediation of Cr(VI)-polluted water.

description: A population of distant dusty galaxies emitting in the submillimetre waveband has recently been detected using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). This population can be used to trace the amount of high-redshift star-formation activity that is obscured from view in the optical waveband by dust, and so is missing from existing inventories of star formation in the distant Universe. By including this population we can construct a complete and consistent picture of the history of star formation. The evolution of obscured star formation at redshifts less than unity is constrained by mid- and far-infrared counts of dusty galaxies. Activity increases with redshift z as (1+z) to a power of about 4, consistent with the form of evolution found in the optical waveband by the Canada-France Redshift Survey (CFRS) to redshifts less than about 1. The form of evolution at higher redshifts is constrained by both our faint SCUBA counts and the intensity of background radiation in the millimetre/submillimetre waveband. We find that the total amount of energy emitted by dusty galaxies is about five times greater than that inferred from restframe ultraviolet observations, and that a larger fraction of this energy is emitted at high redshifts. The simplest explanation for these results is that a large population of luminous strongly-obscured sources at redshifts less than about 5 is missing from optical surveys. We discuss the possible contribution of obscured active galactic nuclei to the submillimetre-wave background and counts. More accurate constraints on the history of star formation will be provided by determinations of the counts in several submillimetre wavebands and crucially, by a reliable redshift distribution of the detected galaxies.

The effects and underlying mechanisms by which engineered and combustion derived nanoparticles impact platelet function
Creators: name: Smyth, Erica June
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Combustion-derived nanoparticles (diameter ≤ 100 nm) present in air pollution are thought to be associated with the onset of platelet-driven thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction. In addition, the emergence of nanotechnology has led to increased human exposure to engineered nanoscale structures. My first aim was to establish whether engineered nanoparticles could influence platelet function and whether this was dictated by their size and surface charge. The second aim was to evaluate if combustion-derived nanoparticles could modulate platelet aggregation in-vivo and determine the underlying mechanisms. 50 nm and 100 nm carboxyl, amine and unmodified model engineered polystyrene nanoparticles as well as diesel exhaust particles (DEP) and carbon black (CB) were intratracheal (i.t.) or intravenously (i.v.) administered into mice and in-vitro and in-vivo platelet aggregation, markers of pulmonary and systemic inflammation and plasma nitrate levels were measured. All model engineered nanoparticles induced concentration-dependent platelet aggregation which was inhibited by conventional platelet inhibitors and endogenous vascular regulators. In contrast, amine-modified 50 nm particles enhanced agonist-induced platelet aggregation in-vitro and in-vivo. DEP increased agonist-induced platelet aggregation in-vivo that was not associated with inflammation or altered plasma nitrite levels. In contrast, CB did not increase platelet aggregation but did appear to initiate inflammation. All nanoparticles investigated induced platelet aggregation with potencies and mechanisms that were dependent upon a distinct combination of size and surface chemistry. 50 nm cationic particles may present the largest risk to human health by exacerbating thrombotic events, as they can enhance the effects of platelet agonists at low concentrations. Additionally, exposure to DEP can enhance platelet aggregation in-vivo suggesting that the thrombotic incidents triggered by acute exposure to particulate pollutants may be platelet driven although the underlying mechanism does not appear to involve systemic inflammation or alterations in NO bioavailability.

Modelling ice-ocean interactions in and around ice shelves
Creators: name: Jordan, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Physical processes in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are of great importance to the global climate system. This thesis considers two such processes, namely ice- ocean interaction in ice shelf basal crevasses and the conditional instability of frazil ice growth. It has been suggested that freezing within basal crevasses can act as a stabilising in uence on ice shelves, preventing their break up. Using Fluidity, a nite element ocean model, it is found that ocean circulation within a crevasse is highly dependent upon the amount of freezing in the crevasse. It is also found that frazil ice formation is responsible for the vast majority of freezing within a crevasse, and that there is a non linear relationship between the amount of supercooling in a crevasse and its freeze rate. The conditional instability of frazil ice growth is a little investigated mechanism of ice growth. Any frazil forming in the water column reduces the bulk density of a parcel of frazil-seawater mixture, causing it to rise. Due to the pressure-decrease in the freezing point, this causes more frazil to form, causing the parcel to accelerate, and so on. Numerical modelling nds that the instability does not operate in the presence of strong strati cation, high thermal driving (warm water), a small initial perturbation, high `background' mixing or the prevalence of large frazil ice crystals. Given a large enough initial perturbation this instability could allow signi cant rates of ice growth even in water that is above the freezing point. The research presented in this thesis forms the material for two peer-reviewed publi- cations; `Modelling ice ocean interactions in ice shelf basal crevasses' (Jordan et al., 2014) and `On the conditional frazil ice instability in seawater' (Jordan et al., 2015)
Investigation of an atypically produced Jeryl Lynn mumps vaccine

description: Mumps virus is the causative agent of mumps disease, of which humans are the only natural host. Mumps infection is vaccine-preventable. Mumps vaccines are live viruses attenuated by serial passage on cell substrates or in embryonated eggs. They are known to vary in their effectiveness, degree of attenuation and adverse event profile. The Jeryl Lynn mumps virus is the most commonly used vaccine strain. Two related commercial mumps vaccines, which originate from the same attenuated strain (Jeryl Lynn-5) but have different efficacies, were investigated. Jeryl Lynn-Canine Kidney (JL-CK), produced on primary canine kidney cells is less effective than RIT 4385 which is produced on chicken embryo fibroblasts. JL-CK and RIT 4385 could be distinguished by a number of in vitro and in vivo properties. JL-CK produced heterogeneous, generally smaller plaques than RIT 4385, but gave 100 fold higher viral titres when grown on Vero or MDCK cells and produced a higher degree of hydrocephalus in the neonatal rat brain. Sequencing of the JL-CK virus identified 14 regions of heterogeneity throughout the genome. Plaque isolation demonstrated the presence of five mumps virus variants encompassing these mutations in the JL-CK vaccine. One mutation was associated with a small plaque phenotype, the effects of the others either in vitro or in vivo were less clear. Only 4 % of the JL-CK vaccine population corresponded with the parent Jeryl Lynn-5 strain. Deep sequencing of JL-CK and virus replicating in cell lines and neonatal rat brains showed that propagation in vitro or in vivo altered the population dramatically. The data presented in this study suggest that growth of JL-CK in primary canine kidney cells resulted in the selection of a mixture of mumps virus variants that have different biological properties compared to the parent Jeryl Lynn-5 virus.
