Wiki-health: from quantified self to self-understanding
Creators: name: Li, Yang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Today, healthcare providers are experiencing explosive growth in data, and medical imaging represents a significant portion of that data. Meanwhile, the pervasive use of mobile phones and the rising adoption of sensing devices, enabling people to collect data independently at any time or place is leading to a torrent of sensor data. The scale and richness of the sensor data currently being collected and analysed is rapidly growing. The key challenges that we will be facing are how to effectively manage and make use of this abundance of easily-generated and diverse health data. This thesis investigates the challenges posed by the explosive growth of available healthcare data and proposes a number of potential solutions to the problem. As a result, a big data service platform, named Wiki-Health, is presented to provide a unified solution for collecting, storing, tagging, retrieving, searching and analysing personal health sensor data. Additionally, it allows users to reuse and remix data, along with analysis results and analysis models, to make health-related knowledge discovery more available to individual users on a massive scale. To tackle the challenge of efficiently managing the high volume and diversity of big data, Wiki-Health introduces a hybrid data storage approach capable of storing structured, semi-structured and unstructured sensor data and sensor metadata separately. A multi-tier cloud storage system—CACSS has been developed and serves as a component for the Wiki-Health platform, allowing it to manage the storage of unstructured data and semi-structured data, such as medical imaging files. CACSS has enabled comprehensive features such as global data de-duplication, performance-awareness and data caching services. The design of such a hybrid approach allows Wiki-Health to potentially handle heterogeneous formats of sensor data. To evaluate the proposed approach, we have developed an ECG-based health monitoring service and a virtual sensing service on top of the Wiki-Health platform. The two services demonstrate the feasibility and potential of using the Wiki-Health framework to enable better utilisation and comprehension of the vast amounts of sensor data available from different sources, and both show significant potential for real-world applications.
A coupled systems code - CMHD solver for fusion blanket design
Creators: name: Wolfendale, Michael
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Fusion blankets are required to operate in a harsh environment under the influence of a number of synergistic physical phenomena, working across several length scales. The ability to model the thermal-hydraulics of a blanket effectively is key for analysis and design purposes. For magnetic confinement reactor blanket designs using a conducting fluid as a coolant and tritium breeder, the difficulties in flow modelling are particularly challenging due to interactions with the large magnetic field. Blanket analysis is an ideal candidate for the application of a code coupling methodology, with a thermal-hydraulic systems code modelling portions of the blanket amenable to 1D analysis, and a CFD or rather CMHD (Computational Magnetohydrodynamics) solver providing detail where necessary. It is the aim of this study to develop a coupled systems code - CMHD based approach to the modelling of fusion blanket thermal-hydraulics. In particular, it addresses some of the problems associated with the flow of electrically conducting fluids in a high magnetic field. This will enable extensive thermal-hydraulic simulations of the blanket and associated systems to be performed, accounting for MHD effects in a computationally efficient manner that lends itself to the design process. Novel analytical solutions have been developed to address the problem of the electromagnetic coupling of flows between adjacent conducting walled ducts, and for the related heat transfer problem. The resulting correlations have been used in the development of a one dimensional thermal-hydraulic systems code, MHD-SYS. The code has been coupled via TCP socket communications to a CMHD solver (mhdFoam) and the resulting coupled solver has been validated for several test cases. Studies have been performed on simple blanket relevant geometries, comprised of a manifold and several ducts, in order to demonstrate the potential of the coupled solver to capture MHD effects such as modified velocity profiles, increased pressure drops and flow redistribution.

description: We report the discovery of 30 stars with extreme space velocities ($>$ 480 km/s) in the Gaia-DR2 archive. These stars are a subset of 1743 stars with high-precision parallax, large tangential velocity ($v_{tan}>$ 300 km/s), and measured line-of-sight velocity in DR2. By tracing the orbits of the stars back in time, we find at least one of them is consistent with having been ejected by the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. Another star has an orbit that passed near the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) about 200 Myr ago. Unlike previously discovered blue hypervelocity stars, our sample is metal-poor (-1.5 $$ 1 Gyr). We discuss possible mechanisms for accelerating old stars to such extreme velocities. The high observed space density of this population, relative to potential acceleration mechanisms, implies that these stars are probably bound to the Milky Way (MW). If they are bound, the discovery of this population would require a local escape speed of around $\sim$ 600 km/s and consequently imply a virial mass of $M_{200} \sim 1.4 \times 10^{12} M_\odot$ for the MW.

description: The interaction of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with pervasive photon fields generates associated cosmogenic fluxes of neutrinos and photons due to photohadronic and photonuclear processes taking place in the intergalactic medium. We perform a fit of the UHECR spectrum and composition measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory for four source emissivity scenarios: power-law redshift dependence with one free parameter, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, and star formation history. We show that negative source emissivity evolution is favoured if we treat the source evolution as a free parameter. In all cases, the best fit is obtained for relatively hard spectral indices and low maximal rigidities, for compositions at injection dominated by intermediate nuclei (nitrogen and silicon groups). In light of these results, we calculate the associated fluxes of neutrinos and photons. Finally, we discuss the prospects for the future generation of high-energy neutrino and gamma-ray observatories to constrain the sources of UHECRs.

description: Homogeneous photometric data (Johnson V, B-V, V-K, Cousins V-I and Stromgren b-y), radial velocities, and abundances of Fe, O, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr and Ni are presented for 99 stars with high precision parallaxes measured by the Hipparcos satellite. These data have been previously used to assist the derivation of accurate distances and ages of galactic globular clusters. Magnitudes and colours for the programme stars were obtained combining and standardizing carefully selected literature data available in the Simbad data-base and V and B-V values measured by the Hipparcos/Tycho mission. Comparison of colours for our targets suggests: (i) ground-based and Tycho B-V's agree well for colours bluer than 0.75 mag, but have a lot of scatter for redder colours; (ii) the Hipparcos V-I colours have a very large scatter and a zero point offset of +0.02 mag compared to the literature values. The programme stars have metal abundances in the range -2.5200) spectra obtained at the Asiago and McDonald Observatories for 66 stars. The analysis is carried out following the same precepts used in previous papers of this series and includes corrections for departures from LTE in the formation of the O lines. The main results are: (i) the equilibrium of ionization of Fe is well satisfied in late F-early K-dwarfs; (ii) Oxygen and alpha-elements are overabundant by about 0.3 dex. This large homogeneous abundance data set has been used to recalibrate the abundance scales of Schuster and Nissen (1989, AA, 221, 65), Carney et al. (1994, AJ, 107, 2240), and Ryan and Norris (1991, AJ, 101, 1835).

A salmonella toxin induces persister formation via acetylation of tRNA
Creators: name: Cheverton, Angie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Persisters have been identified in almost all free-living bacteria and many obligate intracellular pathogens. Bacterial persisters are transiently tolerant to multiple antibiotics and are thought to be responsible for recurrent infections. The formation of non-growing persisters relies on Toxin-Antitoxin (TA) modules. These are ubiquitous molecular switches controlling bacterial growth via the release of a toxin component, which reversibly interferes with an essential cellular process. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is an intracellular pathogen that forms persisters to high levels upon internalization by macrophages and relies for that on at least 14 TA modules. Of these, 3 constitute a poorly characterized TA family where the toxin contains a predicted GCN5 N- acetyltransferase domain (GNAT). In this work, I have shown that two of the GNAT TA modules, TA6 and TA8, are bona fide TA modules. Both toxins require the predicted Acetyl Coenzyme A domain to function. T8 acetylates the Nα amine group of the amino acid charged to tRNA molecules. This results in N-blocked translationally incompetent aatRNA leading to inhibition of protein synthesis and growth arrest. T8 is a novel acetyltransferase that dimerizes allowing for positive patches on the surface of the dimer to facilitate tRNA binding. Peptidyl tRNA hydrolase (Pth), recognises and hydrolyses T8-acetylated aatRNAs, allowing for the detoxification of cells producing T8 and thereby resumption of growth marking exit from a persister state.

A New Astrophysical Constraint on Radiatively Decaying Neutrinos
Creators: name: Sethi, Shiv K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We calculate constraints on radiatively decaying neutrinos from the recent detection of singly ionized helium in the diffuse intergalactic medium (IGM) at $z \simeq 3.3$. We consider a model in which neutrinos predominantly decay into invisible relativistic particles with a rate $τ^{-1}$, and with a small branching ratio into the radiative mode. To satisfy the observation of singly ionized helium, which puts a lower bound on the number density of singly ionized helium in the IGM, we show that: for $τ\ga 10^{18} \,{\rm sec}(1 \,{\rm eV}/m_ν^2)$, transition moment of neutrinos $μ_{12}$ is constrained to be $\le 4 \hbox{--}8 \times 10^{-17} \,μ_{\sc B}$ for $ 110 \,{\rm eV} \la m_ν\la 10 \,{\rm keV}$. We compare this bound with other astrophysical and cosmological bounds on radiatively decaying neutrinos.

description: Recent observations of TeV gamma rays from distant sources provide new limits on the cosmic infrared background and thus on radiative decays of background neutrinos. I translate these limits into bounds on transition dipole moments and compare them with limits from the energy-loss of globular-cluster stars. The latter are more restrictive for neutrino masses below 1-2 eV.

A personalised and adaptive insulin dosing decision support system for type 1 diabetes
Creators: name: Pesl, Peter
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) rely on exogenous insulin to maintain stable glucose levels. Despite the advent of diabetes technologies such as continuous glucose monitors and insulin infusion pumps, the majority of people with T1D do not manage to bring back glucose levels into a healthy target after meals. In addition to patient compliance, this is due to the complexity of the decision-making on how much insulin is required. Commercial insulin bolus calculators exist that help with the calculation of insulin for meals but these lack fine-tuning and adaptability. This thesis presents a novel insulin dosing decision support system for people with T1D that is able to provide individualised insulin dosing advice. The proposed research utilises Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), an artificial intelligence methodology, that is able to learn over time based on the behaviour of the patient and optimises the insulin therapy for various diabetes scenarios. The decision support system has been implemented into a user-friendly smartphone-based patient platform and communicates with a clinical platform for remote supervision. In-silico studies are presented demonstrating the overall performance of CBR as well as metrics used to adapt the insulin therapy. Safety and feasibility of the developed system have been assessed incrementally in clinical trials; initially during an eight-hour study in hospital settings followed by a six-week study in the home environment of the user. Human factors play an important role in the clinical adoption of technologies such as the one proposed. System usability and acceptability were evaluated during the second study phase based on feedback obtained from study participants. Results from in-silico tests show the potential of the proposed research to safely automate the process of optimising the insulin therapy for people with T1D. In the six-week study, the system demonstrated safety in maintaining glycemic control with a trend suggesting improvement in postprandial glucose outcomes. Feedback from participants showed favourable outcomes when assessing device satisfaction and usability. A six-month large-scale randomised controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of the system is currently ongoing.

description: For suitable gravitational lens systems with unknown lens redshifts, the redshifts and brightnesses (in different colours) of the lenses are predicted for a variety of cosmological models, for both elliptical and spiral galaxy lenses. Besides providing hints as to which systems should be observed with a realistic chance of measuring the lens redshifts, which are needed for detailed lensing statistics and for modelling the lenses, these calculations give a visual impression of the influence of the cosmological model in gravitational lensing.

description: We address the interpretation proposed in [S. H. Simon, arXiv:1801.09687] of the thermal conductance data from [M. Banerjee et al., arXiv:1710.00492]. We show that the interpretation is inconsistent with experimental data and the sample structure. In particular, the paper misses the momentum mismatch between contra-propagating modes. Contrary to the claim of the paper, low energy tunneling involves a large momentum change. We consider only the 'small Majorana velocity' mechanism [S. H. Simon, arXiv:1801.09687]. Other mechanisms, interpretations of the experiment, and their difficulties are beyond the scope of this Comment.

Improving interdisciplinary care on the general medical ward
Creators: name: Pannick, Samuel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: General medical wards deliver the majority of inpatient care. Despite technological and therapeutic advances, these wards expose 10% of patients to preventable adverse events, and disproportionately contribute to preventable hospital deaths. Improving ward team performance is often proposed as a mechanism to improve patient outcomes. The overarching goal of this thesis is to identify effective strategies to improve interdisciplinary team care on the medical ward. Chapter 1 introduces key concepts in healthcare quality, and specific issues in the delivery and measurement of interdisciplinary ward care. The existing literature for ward improvement strategies is then described. A narrative review identifies common targets for ward interventions [chapter 2], and a systematic review evaluates interdisciplinary team care interventions, finding little evidence of significant impact on objective patient outcomes [chapter 3]. The development and evaluation of prospective clinical team surveillance (PCTS) is then reported. PCTS is a novel interdisciplinary team care intervention, engaging staff to identify barriers to care delivery, with facilitation and feedback. A programme theory and mixed methods evaluation are presented, using a stepped wedge, cluster controlled trial [chapter 4]. Mixed-effects models show a significant reduction in excess length of stay with high fidelity PCTS [chapter 5]. Surveys, focus groups and auto-ethnography identify PCTS’ mechanisms of action, and its impact on incident reporting, safety and teamwork climates [chapter 6]. Implementation outcomes, facilitators and barriers are described in chapter 7. Other perspectives on improvement are also explored. A model of organisational alignment is developed [chapter 8], and an interview study with patients and carers elicits their priorities [chapter 9]. Finally, chapter 10 summarises the findings, highlighting opportunities to develop medical ward outcome sets and construct a model of interdisciplinary team effectiveness. These can be used to support improvements in interdisciplinary care, through changes in policy and practice.

Organic field-effect transistors with printed dielectrics and semiconductors
Creators: name: Vaklev, Nikolay Lyubomirov
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis presents the development of organic field-effect transistors with printed dielectric and semiconductors. The device architecture was bottom-gate bottom-contact. The electrodes were fabricated via standard photolithography. The first milestones were to gravure-coat the dielectric and structure it with photolithography. Dielectric formulations were screened for their ability to photopattern with radical photoinitiators. Variable processing conditions were also investigated such as annealing time and temperature. The preferred formulation and processing conditions gave ca. 130 nm thick dielectric films and 1-2 nm root-mean-square surface roughness. The dielectric films were tested in parallel capacitors and field-effect transistors. For comparison, the dielectric was also spin-cast and processed analogously to the gravure-coated films. Under the same conditions gravure-coating gave films with equal uniformity and insulating properties as spin-casting. Transistors were prepared with thermally-evaporated pentancene and TIPS-pentacene (6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene) via spin- or zone-casting. The measured mobilities were amongst the highest reported in the literature for this material set and device architecture. The highest transistor mobility with TIPS-pentacene was achieved by blending the semiconductor with poly(a-methylstyrene) (PaMS). Device characteristics such as mobility, threshold voltage and sub-threshold swing voltage were calculated and their evolution with blending ratio followed. The semiconductor was either spin-cast onto pre-deposited PaMS layers with different thickness or TIPS-pentacene was blended with PaMS already in the ink. The work concluded with structured gravure-printing of the dielectric and semiconductor. Dielectric inks with different viscosity were printed and print quality investigated. The film thickness ranged between 60 and 500 nm. Exemplary films were used in the fabrication of transistors and complementary inverters. TIPS-pentacene was directly blended with polymer binders and printed.

description: We report on X-ray observations of the 66 s period transient X-ray pulsar Cep X-4 (GS 2138+56) with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) and with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). Two outbursts from Cep X-4 were observed with BATSE in 1993 June-July and 1997 July. Pulse frequencies of 15.0941 +/- 0.0002 mHz on 1993 June 25 (MJD 49,163) and 15.0882 +/- 0.0002 mHz on 1997 July 12 (MJD 50,641) were each measured from 2 day spans of BATSE data near each outburst's peak. Cep X-4 showed an average spin down rate of (-4.14 +/- 0.08)*10^(-14) Hz/s between the 1993 and 1997 outbursts. After BATSE could no longer detect Cep X-4, public observations were performed on 1997 July 18 & 25 with the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) on RXTE. A pulse frequency of 15.088 +/- 0.004 mHz was measured from observations on 1997 July 18 (MJD 50,647). Significant aperiodic noise, with an rms variance of ~18% in the frequency range 0.01-1.0 Hz was observed on both days. Energy and intensity dependent pulse shape variations were also seen in these data. Recently published optical observations associate Cep X-4 with a Be companion star. If all 4 outbursts observed from Cep X-4 are assumed to occur at the same orbital phase, we find that the orbital period is between 23 days and 147.3 days.

We provide initial results towards a question of Verstraete and Rizzi regarding the tensor network state of an $M \times N$ grid; we partially answer the question for a $2 \times N$ grid. We also study the $2 \times N$ grid sitting on a torus and provide initial results towards understanding the Zariski closure of the set of tensor network states associated to this graph. Finally, we give explicit tensors that provide optimal (using currently available methods) bounds on the border rank of a generic tensor in the tensor network state of the $2 \times N$ grid.

description: HST/NICMOS images of the class I protostar TMR-1 (IRAS04361+2547) reveal a faint companion with 10.0" = 1400 AU projected separation. The central protostar is itself resolved as a close binary with 0.31" = 42 AU separation, surrounded by circumstellar reflection nebulosity. A long narrow filament seems to connect the protobinary to the faint companion TMR-1C, suggesting a physical association. If the sources are physically related then we hypothesize that TMR-1C has been ejected by the protobinary. If TMR-1C has the same age and distance as the protobinary then current models indicate its flux is consistent with a young giant planet of several Jovian masses.

description: We present two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of corotating stream structure in the wind from a rotating O star, together with resulting synthetic line profiles showing discrete absorption components (DACs). An azimuthal variation is induced by a local increase or decrease in the radiative driving force, as would arise from a bright or dark ``star spot'' in the equatorial plane. Since much of the emergent wind structure seems independent of the exact method of perturbation, we expect similar morphology in winds perturbed by localized magnetic fields or nonradial pulsations, as well as by either rotationally-modulated structure or transient mass ejections. We find that bright spots with enhanced driving generate high-density, low-speed streams, while dark spots generate low-density, high-speed streams. Corotating interaction regions (CIRs) form where fast material collides with slow material -- e.g. at the leading (trailing) edge of a stream from a dark (bright) spot, often steepening into shocks. The unperturbed supersonic wind obliquely impacts the high-density CIR and sends back a nonlinear signal which takes the form of a sharp propagating discontinuity (``kink'' or ``plateau'') in the radial velocity gradient. These features travel inward in the co-moving frame at the radiative-acoustic characteristic speed, and thus slowly outward in the star's frame. We find that these slow kinks, rather than the CIRs themselves, are more likely to result in high-opacity DACs in the absorption troughs of unsaturated P Cygni line profiles.

description: Signature of heavier charged Higgs boson, much above the top quark mass, is investigated at the LHC Run 2 experiments, following its decay mode via top and bottom quark focusing on both hadronic and leptonic signal final states. The generic two Higgs doublet model framework is considered with a special emphasis on supersymmetry motivated Type II model. The signal is found to heavily affected by the huge irreducible backgrounds due to the top pair production and QCD events. The jet substructure technique is used to tag moderately boosted top jets in order to reconstruct charged Higgs mass. The simple cut based analysis is performed optimizing various kinematic selections, and the signal sensitivity is found to be reasonable for only lower range of charged Higgs masses for very high luminosity 3000 fb$^{-1}$ option. However, employing the multi-variate analysis(MVA) technique, a remarkable improvement in signal sensitivity is achieved. We find, the charged Higgs signal for the mass range about $300-600$ is observable with 1000 fb$^{-1}$ luminosity option. However, for more high luminosity option 3000 fb$^{-1}$, the discovery potential can be extended to $700-800$ GeV.

The broad-band power spectrum of SAX J1808.4-3658

description: We analyzed the rapid aperiodic X-ray variability of the recently discovered millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658. The power density spectrum is dominated by a strong band-limited noise component, which follows a power-law with index 1.0-1.3 at high frequencies with a break that varies between 0.25 and 1.6 Hz, below which the spectrum is relatively flat. Superimposed on this, a broad bump is present with a centroid frequency that varies well correlated with the break frequency between 2.4 and 12.0 Hz. These characteristics are very similar to what is commonly seen in other low-luminosity low-mass X-ray binaries. Between 100 and 400 Hz a third broad noise component is present similar to that recently reported in the low-luminosity low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1728-34 (Ford & van der Klis 1998). We find a similar high-frequency noise component also in other low-luminosity neutron star systems. We conclude that at any given epoch the rapid aperiodic X-ray variability of the millisecond X-ray pulsar is indistinguishable from that of other low-luminosity neutron star systems. However, contrary to what has been found in those sources the break frequency of the band-limited noise does not have a strict correlation with mass accretion rate. With decreasing mass accretion rate, the break frequency first decreased, then increased again. This previously unobserved behavior could be typical for the very low mass accretion rates we observe near the end of the outburst of SAX J1808.4-3658, or it could be related to it being a pulsar.

description: We consider the effect of coupling between phonons and a chiral Majorana edge in a gapped chiral spin liquid with Ising anyons (e.g., Kitaev's non-Abelian spin liquid on the honeycomb lattice). This is especially important in the regime in which the longitudinal bulk heat conductivity $κ_{xx}$ due to phonons is much larger than the expected quantized thermal Hall conductance $κ_{xy}^{\rm q}=\frac{πT}{12} \frac{k_B^2}{\hbar}$ of the ideal isolated edge mode, so that the thermal Hall angle, i.e., the angle between the thermal current and the temperature gradient, is small. By modeling the interaction between a Majorana edge and bulk phonons, we show that the exchange of energy between the two subsystems leads to a transverse component of the bulk current and thereby an {\em effective} Hall conductivity. Remarkably, the latter is equal to the quantized value when the edge and bulk can thermalize, which occurs for a Hall bar of length $L \gg \ell$, where $\ell$ is a thermalization length. We obtain $\ell \sim T^{-5}$ for a model of the Majorana-phonon coupling. We also find that the quality of the quantization depends on the means of measuring the temperature and, surprisingly, a more robust quantization is obtained when the lattice, not the spin, temperature is measured. We present general hydrodynamic equations for the system, detailed results for the temperature and current profiles, and an estimate for the coupling strength and its temperature dependence based on a microscopic model Hamiltonian. Our results may explain recent experiments observing a quantized thermal Hall conductivity in the regime of small Hall angle, $κ_{xy}/κ_{xx} \sim 10^{-3}$, in $α$-RuCl$_3$.

X-ray Constraints on the Intrinsic Shape of the Lenticular Galaxy NGC 1332

description: We have analyzed ROSAT PSPC X-ray data of the optically elongated S0 galaxy NGC 1332 with the purposes of constraining the intrinsic shape of its underlying mass and presenting a detailed investigation of the uncertainties resulting from the assumptions underlying this type of analysis. The X-ray isophotes are elongated with ellipticity $0.10 - 0.27$ (90% confidence) for semi-major axes $75\arcsec -90\arcsec$ and have orientations consistent with the optical isophotes (ellipticity $\sim 0.43$). The spectrum is poorly constrained by the PSPC data and cannot rule out sizeable radial temperature gradients or an emission component due to discrete sources equal in magnitude to the hot gas. Using (and clarifying) the "geometric test" for dark matter, we determined that the hypothesis that mass-traces-light is not consistent with the X-ray data at 68% confidence and marginally consistent at 90% confidence independent of the gas temperature profile. Detailed modeling gives constraints on the ellipticity of the underlying mass of ε_{mass} = 0.47 - 0.72 (0.31 - 0.83) at 68% (90%) confidence for isothermal and polytropic models. The total mass of the isothermal models within a=43.6$ kpc (D = 20h^{-1}_{80} Mpc) is M_{tot} = (0.38 - 1.7) \times 10^{12}M_{\sun} (90% confidence) corresponding to total blue mass-to-light ratio Υ_B = (31.9 - 143) Υ_{\sun}. Similar results are obtained when the dark matter is fit directly using the known distributions of the stars and gas. When possible rotation of the gas and emission from discrete sources are included flattened mass distributions are still required, although the constraints on $ε_{mass}$, but not the total mass, are substantially weakened.

description: The study was designed to determine the effect of different levels of both elements (potassium and calcium) on some variables in the microscopic examination of semen (account and shape of sperms and their rate of movement within the semen plasma). In this study, 60 semen samples were collected from healthy people and divided into three groups based on the test results. Group (A) represented samples with positive results, and group (B) represented the average test results. At the same time, group (C) included weak results. The results were obtained after comparing the extent of the effect of calcium and potassium on the number, shape and movement of sperms between the three groups. The results showed that potassium had a significant effect on the number of sperm cells and the nature of movement in group (A) at the level of probability (P ≤ 0.05). In group (B), the effect of potassium on the percentage of normal-shaped sperm cells was observed. In group (C), the effect of potassium level on the shape ratios of normal and abnormal cells. For calcium element, the study's results showed the effect of calcium element in group (A) on the percentage of motile cells, and the same effect of calcium applies to group (B). As for group (C), the effect of calcium was on the percentage of immobile cells and cells with an abnormal shape.

description: We present a new, objectively selected, sample of galaxy overdensities detected in the Hubble Space Telescope Medium Deep Survey. These clusters/groups were found using an automated procedure which involved searching for statistically significant galaxy overdensities. The contrast of the clusters against the field galaxy population is increased when morphological data is used to search around bulge-dominated galaxies. In total, we present 92 overdensities above a probability threshold of 99.5%. We show, via extensive Monte Carlo simulations, that at least 60% of these overdensities are likely to be real clusters and groups and not random line-of-sight superpositions of galaxies. For each overdensity in the MDS cluster sample, we provide a richness and the average of the bulge-to-total ratio of galaxies within each system. This MDS cluster sample potentially contains some of the most distant clusters/groups ever detected, with about 25% of the overdensities having estimated redshifts z > 0.9. We have made this sample publicly available to facilitate spectroscopic confirmation of these clusters and help more detailed studies of cluster and galaxy evolution. We also report the serendipitous discovery of a new cluster close on the sky to the rich optical cluster CLl0016+16 at z=0.546. This new overdensity, HST 001831+16208, may be coincident with both an X-ray source and a radio source. HST 001831+16208 is the third cluster/group discovered near to CL0016+16 and appears to strengthen the claims of Connolly et al. (1996) of superclustering at high redshift.
