description: Merosin deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1A) is a disease that affects laminin protein within skeletal muscle and the peripheral nervous system. Laminin deficiency leads to severe muscle degeneration, fibrosis and premature mortality. The extracellular protein, laminin helps anchor the muscle cell membrane to the extracellular matrix (ECM) through important attachment sites mediated by Integrin-α7β1 and the Dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC). Muscle fibre detachment that leads to apoptosis occurs when laminin protein is defective in forming these attachment sites. Studies have suggested that laminin protein could also have a direct effect on the muscle stem cell niche, although it is unknown if these cells are in fact affected in an in vivo MDC1A context. Muscle stem cells are involved in development, growth and regeneration of skeletal muscle and this thesis identifies defective muscle maintenance as a characteristic of laminin deficiency. Researchers are interested in finding and developing a viable therapeutic for this disease and zebrafish disease models provide an invaluable tool on this path. Transgenic systems have shown the importance of laminin-α1 expression in ameliorating the laminin-α2 deficient pathology, and the introduction of free Laminin-111 protein has also been shown to improve dystrophic phenotypes. This thesis examines Laminin-111 protein in a therapeutic context and determines its affect on the muscle stem cell niche in the laminin-α2 deficient zebrafish model. With the advent of readily available biomaterials such as self-assembling hydrogels, wild-type laminin protein can be delivered directly to target tissue and potentially reverse dystrophic phenotypes. This thesis examines the ability of a biomaterial to deliver laminin protein to a localised area and in vitro studies were also performed to test and refine its biocompatibility.These results demonstrate that laminin protein has pro-regenerative qualities. I further explore if a laminin treatment can improve muscle regeneration via stimulating the muscle stem cell population. A laminin biomaterial treatment is examined within an acute injury model. Adult zebrafish skeletal muscle has not been well studied and no standard adult skeletal muscle injury model has been developed. As this is a localised injury it is appropriate to deliver the laminin focally via the previously described biomaterial. These studies explore laminin protein treatments and its effect on muscle stem cell niche in two muscle models, the lama2-/- mutant and an adult muscle injury model, to further characterise laminin proteins potential as a therapy.

description: Deriving an effective facial expression recognition component is important for a successful human-computer interaction system. Nonetheless, recognizing facial expression remains a challenging task. This paper describes a novel approach towards facial expression recognition task. The proposed method is motivated by the success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) on the face recognition problem. Unlike other works, we focus on achieving good accuracy while requiring only a small sample data for training. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) features are used to increase the performance on small data as SIFT does not require extensive training data to generate useful features. In this paper, both Dense SIFT and regular SIFT are studied and compared when merged with CNN features. Moreover, an aggregator of the models is developed. The proposed approach is tested on the FER-2013 and CK+ datasets. Results demonstrate the superiority of CNN with Dense SIFT over conventional CNN and CNN with SIFT. The accuracy even increased when all the models are aggregated which generates state-of-art results on FER-2013 and CK+ datasets, where it achieved 73.4% on FER-2013 and 99.1% on CK+.

description: In light of the Higgs boson discovery, we explore mono-Higgs signature in association with dark matter pair production at the LHC in a renormalizable model with a fermionic dark matter candidate. For two channels with $γγ+\text{MET}$ and $b \bar b+\text{MET}$ in the final state we simulate the SM backgrounds and signal events at $\sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV. We then estimate the LHC sensitivities for various benchmark points for two integrated luminosities ${\cal L} = 300~\text{fb}^{-1}$ and ${\cal L} = 3~ \text{ab}^{-1}$. We constrain the Yukawa coupling of the dark matter-SM interaction, taking into account bounds from mono-Higgs signature, observed dark matter relic density, Higgs physics, perturbativity requirement and electroweak measurements. Concerning the mono-Higgs search, it turns out that the channel with the largest branching ratio, $b \bar b$ channel, provides better sensitivity. There are found regions in the parameter space of the model compatible with all the bounds mentioned above which can be reached in future LHC studies.

description: We explicitly prove that the Weyl conformal symmetry solves the black hole singularity problem, otherwise unavoidable in a generally covariant local or non-local gravitational theory. Moreover, we yield explicit examples of local and non-local theories enjoying Weyl and diffeomorphism symmetry (in short co-covariant theories). Following the seminal paper by Narlikar and Kembhavi, we provide an explicit construction of singularity-free spherically symmetric and axi-symmetric exact solutions for black hole spacetimes conformally equivalent to the Schwarzschild or the Kerr spacetime. We first check the absence of divergences in the Kretschmann invariant for the rescaled metrics. Afterwords, we show that the new types of black holes are geodesically complete and linked by a Newman-Janis transformation just as in standard general relativity (based on Einstein-Hilbert action). Furthermore, we argue that no massive or massless particles can reach the former Schwarzschild singularity or touch the former Kerr ring singularity in a finite amount of their proper time or of their affine parameter. Finally, we discuss the Raychaudhuri equation in a co-covariant theory and we show that the expansion parameter for congruences of both types of geodesics (for massless and massive particles) never reaches minus infinity. Actually, the null geodesics become parallel at the $r=0$ point in the Schwarzschild spacetime (the origin) and the focusing of geodesics is avoided. The arguments of regularity of curvature invariants, geodesic completeness, and finiteness of geodesics' expansion parameter ensure us that we are dealing with singularity-free and geodesically-complete black hole spacetimes.

description: Heterogeneity among interacting units plays an important role in numerous biological and man-made complex systems. While the impacts of heterogeneity on synchronization, in terms of structural mismatch of the layers in multiplex networks, has been studied thoroughly, its influence on intralayer synchronization, in terms of parameter mismatch among the layers, has not been adequately investigated. Here, we study the intralayer synchrony in multiplex networks, where the layers are different from one other, due to parameter mismatch in their local dynamics. In such a multiplex network, the intralayer coupling strength for the emergence of intralayer synchronization decreases upon the introduction of impurity among the layers, which is caused by a parameter mismatch in their local dynamics. Furthermore, the area of occurrence of intralayer synchronization also widens with increasing mismatch. We analytically derive a condition under which the intralayer synchronous solution exists, and we even sustain its stability. We also prove that, in spite of the mismatch among the layers, all the layers of the multiplex network synchronize simultaneously. Our results indicate that a multiplex network with mismatched layers can induce synchrony more easily than a multiplex network with identical layers.

description: Using a unique data set containing about 15.06 million truck transportation records in five months, we investigate the highway freight transportation diversity of 338 Chinese cities based on the truck transportation probability $p_{ij}$ from one city to the other. The transportation probabilities are calculated from the radiation model based on the geographic distance and its cost-based version based on the driving distance as the proxy of cost. For each model, we consider both the population and the gross domestic product, and find quantitatively very similar results. We find that the transportation probabilities have nice power-law tails with the tail exponents close to 0.5 for all the models. The two transportation probabilities in each model fall around the diagonal $p_{ij}=p_{ji}$ but are often not the same. In addition, the corresponding transportation probabilities calculated from the raw radiation model and the cost-based radiation model also fluctuate around the diagonal $p_{ij}^{\rm{geo}}=p_{ij}^{\rm{cost}}$. We calculate four sets of highway truck transportation diversity according to the four sets of transportation probabilities that are found to be close to each other for each city pair. Further, it is found that the population, the gross domestic product, the in-flux, and the out-flux scale as power laws with respect to the transportation diversity in the raw and cost-based radiation models. It implies that a more developed city usually has higher diversity in highway truck transportation, which reflects the fact that a more developed city usually has a more diverse economic structure.

description: We investigate high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from noble gas clusters in a supersonic gas jet. To identify the contribution of harmonic generation from clusters versus that from gas monomers, we measure the high-order harmonic output over a broad range of the total atomic number density in the jet (from 3*10^16 cm^{-3} to 3x10^18 cm{-3}) at two different reservoir temperatures (303 K and 363 K). For the firrst time in the evaluation of the harmonic yield in such measurements, the variation of the liquid mass fraction, g, versus pressure and temperature is taken into consideration, which we determine, reliably and consistently, to be below 20% within our range of experimental parameters. By comparing the measured harmonic yield from a thin jet with the calculated corresponding yield from monomers alone, we find an increased emission of the harmonics when the average cluster size is less than 3000. Using g, under the assumption that the emission from monomers and clusters add up coherently, we calculate the ratio of the average single-atom response of an atom within a cluster to that of a monomer and find an enhancement of around 10 for very small average cluster size (~200). We do not find any dependence of the cut-off frequency on the composition of the cluster jet. This implies that HHG in clusters is based on electrons that return to their parent ions and not to neighbouring ions in the cluster. To fully employ the enhanced average single-atom response found for small average cluster sizes (~200), the nozzle producing the cluster jet must provide a large liquid mass fraction at these small cluster sizes for increasing the harmonic yield. Moreover, cluster jets may allow for quasi-phase matching, as the higher mass of clusters allows for a higher density contrast in spatially structuring the nonlinear medium.

description: Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) empowered communications with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has recently become as an appealing research direction for the next-generation wireless communications. In this paper, we propose a novel NOMA solution with RIS partitioning, where we aim to enhance the spectrum efficiency by improving the ergodic rate of all users, and to maximize the user fairness. In the proposed system, we distribute the physical resources among users such that the base station (BS) and RIS are dedicated to serve different clusters of users. Furthermore, we formulate an RIS partitioning optimization problem to slice the RIS elements between the users such that the user fairness is maximized. The formulated problem is a non-convex and non-linear integer programming (NLIP) problem with a combinatorial feasible set, which is very challenging to solve. Therefore, we exploit the structure of the problem to bound its feasible set and obtain a sub-optimal solution by sequentially applying three efficient search algorithms. Furthermore, we derive exact and asymptotic expressions for the outage probability. Simulation results clearly indicate the superiority of the proposed system over the considered benchmark systems in terms of ergodic sum-rate, outage probability, and user fairness performance.

We derive a direct solution in a closed form, and investigate the obtained solution when it is not unique. Provided the approximation problem yields a set of score vectors, rather than a unique (up to a constant factor) one, we find those vectors in the set, which least and most differentiate between the alternatives with the highest and lowest scores, and thus can be representative of the entire solution.

description: Cosmic baryon evolution during the Cosmic Dawn and Reionization results in redshifted 21-cm spectral distortions in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). These encode information about the nature and timing of first sources over redshifts 30-6 and appear at meter wavelengths as a tiny CMB distortion along with the Galactic and extragalactic radio sky, which is orders of magnitude brighter. Therefore, detection requires precise methods to model foregrounds. We present a method of foreground fitting using maximally smooth (MS) functions. We demonstrate the usefulness of MS functions over traditionally used polynomials to separate foregrounds from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) signal. We also examine the level of spectral complexity in plausible foregrounds using GMOSS, a physically motivated model of the radio sky, and find that they are indeed smooth and can be modeled by MS functions to levels sufficient to discern the vanilla model of the EoR signal. We show that MS functions are loss resistant and robustly preserve EoR signal strength and turning points in the residuals. Finally, we demonstrate that in using a well-calibrated spectral radiometer and modeling foregrounds with MS functions, the global EoR signal can be detected with a Bayesian approach with 90\% confidence in 10 minutes' integration.

description: Chemotaxis and auto-chemotaxis play an important role in many essential biological processes. We present a self-propelling artificial swimmer system which exhibits chemotaxis as well as negative auto-chemotaxis. Oil droplets in an aqueous surfactant solution are driven by interfacial Marangoni flows induced by micellar solubilization of the oil phase. We demonstrate that chemotaxis along micellar surfactant gradients can guide these swimmers through a microfluidic maze. Similarly, a depletion of empty micelles in the wake of a droplet swimmer causes negative autochemotaxis and thereby trail avoidance. We have studied autochemotaxis quantitatively in a microfluidic device of bifurcating channels: Branch choices of consecutive swimmers are anticorrelated, an effect decaying over time due to trail dispersion. We have modeled this process by a simple one-dimensional diffusion process and stochastic Langevin dynamics. Our results are consistent with a linear surfactant gradient force and diffusion constants appropriate for micellar diffusion, and provide a measure of autochemotactic feedback strength versus stochastic forces.

description: We analyse the LIGO-Virgo data, including the recently released GWTC-2 dataset, to test a hypothesis that the data contains more than one population of black holes. We perform a maximum likelihood analysis including a population of astrophysical black holes with a truncated power-law mass function whose merger rate follows from star formation rate, and a population of primordial black holes for which we consider log-normal and critical collapse mass functions. We find that primordial black holes alone are strongly disfavoured by the data, while the best fit is obtained for the template combining astrophysical and primordial merger rates. Alternatively, the data may hint towards two different astrophysical black hole populations. We also update the constraints on primordial black hole abundance from LIGO-Virgo observations finding that in the $2-400M_\odot$ mass range they must comprise less than 0.2% of dark matter.

description: Synthesis of graphene with reduced use of chemical reagents is essential for manufacturing scale-up and to control its structure and properties. In this paper, we report on a novel chemical-free mechanism of graphene exfoliation from graphite using laser impulse. Our experimental setup consists of a graphite slab irradiated with an Nd:YAG laser of wavelength 532 nm and 10 ns pulse width. The results show the formation of graphene layers with conformational morphology from electron microscopy and Raman spectra. Based on the experimental results, we develop a simulation set up within the framework of the molecular dynamics that supplies the laser-induced electromagnetic energies to atoms in the graphite slab. We investigate the influence of different laser fluence on the exfoliation process of graphene. The variations in inter-layer interaction energy and inter-layer distance are the confirmative measures for the possible graphene layer formation. The simulation results confirm the exfoliation of a single layer graphene sheet for the laser power ranging from 100x10^(-14) to 2000x10^(-14) J/nm2. With an increase of laser fluence from 2000x10^(-14) to 4000x10^(-14) J/nm2, there is an increase in the graphene yield via the layer-after-layer exfoliation. The bridging bond dynamics between the successive graphene layers govern the possibility of second-layer exfoliation. The experimental and simulation observations are useful and promising for producing chemical-free graphene on a large scale for industrial and commercial applications.

description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of Performance Management system on the employees' performance of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. The study is guided by three research questions which seek to answers whether the existing performance management system of CBE affects the performance of CBE employees. From the total employees of the bank the researcher took employees work in four districts of Addis Ababa city as his total population to take a sample. This is because of the similarity in structure and system across branches and for the difficulty of collecting questionnaires on very remote and far location of branches. The study adopted an explanatory research design. The population of interest consisted of 252 staff members of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. Out of which 54.37% are male and 45.63% are female respondents. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and the data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) into Regression analysis to the effect of the independent variable to the employee performance. The data was presented using tables. The major findings of this study is that the independent variables, which is setting objectives, feedback, coaching, appraisal and evaluation cascaded from the process of performance management system has significant effect on the performance of employees with p <0.01 and P< 0.05. From the result multiple regression analysis setting objective, coaching, appraisal and evaluation of the Bank had positive effect on the performance of employees whereas feedback activities of the bank had negative effect on the performance of employees. From study the researcher concluded that the performance management system of the bank have positive effect but not on the intended level because the feedback giving activities of the bank had negative effect on employee performance and also the result of the appraisal and evaluation system of the Bank is not connected with reward and career development of the employees. The researcher recommended that, the system should have inputs from the staff members through setting out objectives, appraisal and evaluation systems of the bank. The result of the evaluation should be connected with the reward system of the bank and also the career development of the employees. Key Terms: Performance management system, Employee performance, Setting objective, Feedback, Coaching, Appraisal and Evaluation.

description: This paper is concerned with a Galerkin boundary element method solving the two dimensional exterior elastic wave scattering problem. The original problem is first reduced to the so-called Burton-Miller (\cite{BM71}) boundary integral formulation, and essential mathematical features of its variational form are discussed. In numerical implementations, a newly-derived and analytically accurate regularization formula (\cite{YHX}) is employed for the numerical evaluation of hyper-singular boundary integral operator. A new computational approach is employed based on the series expansions of Hankel functions for the computation of weakly-singular boundary integral operators during the reduction of corresponding Galerkin equations into a discrete linear system. The effectiveness of proposed numerical methods is demonstrated using several numerical examples.
