description: We use deep Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) near-ultraviolet (1600A to 4000A) imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South to measure the rest-frame far-UV (FUV; 1500A) luminosity function (LF) in four redshift bins between z=0.2 and 1.2. Our sample includes 730 galaxies with u < 24.1 mag. We use two methods to construct and fit the LFs: the traditional V_max method with bootstrap errors and a maximum likelihood estimator. We observe luminosity evolution such that M* fades by ~2 magnitudes from z~1 to z~0.3 implying that star formation activity was substantially higher at z~1 than today. We integrate our LFs to determine the FUV luminosity densities and star formation rate densities from z=0.2 to 1.2. We find evolution consistent with an increase proportional to (1+z)^1.9 out to z~1. Our luminosity densities and star formation rates are consistent with those found in the literature, but are, on average, a factor of ~2 higher than previous FUV measurements. In addition, we combine our UVOT data with the MUSYC survey to model the galaxies' ultraviolet-to-infrared spectral energy distributions and estimate the rest-frame FUV attenuation. We find that accounting for the attenuation increases the star formation rate densities by ~1 dex across all four redshift bins.

description: L’étude présentée concerne le diagnostic sanitaire du manège des écuries du château de Chaumont-sur-Loire. Les pierres de ce bâtiment présentent une forte altération par desquamation en plaques et en feuillets. La zone atteinte de desquamation est évolutive et sa surface a quasiment triplé en 20 ans de progression. Une inspection visuelle par caméra thermique a permis de localiser des zones humides, liées à une infiltration d’eau anormale par la toiture. Des prélèvements d’échantillons de pierre ont permis d’identifier la présence de sels solubles, tels que le gypse, à de très fortes concentrations dans les zones où l’altération est en cours de développement. Les zones où l’altération ne progressent plus, sont les zones où les teneurs en eau sont les plus grandes et où les teneurs en gypse sont les plus faibles.

description: Planets orbiting within the close-in habitable zones of M dwarf stars will be exposed to elevated high-energy radiation driven by strong magneto-hydrodynamic dynamos during stellar youth. Near-ultraviolet (NUV) irradiation can erode and alter the chemistry of planetary atmospheres, and a quantitative description of the evolution of NUV emission from M dwarfs is needed when modeling these effects. We investigated the NUV luminosity evolution of early M-type dwarfs by cross-correlating the Lepine & Gaidos (2011) catalog of bright M dwarfs with the GALEX catalog of NUV (1771-2831 A) sources. Of the 4805 sources with GALEX counterparts, 797 have NUV emission signicantly (larger than 2.5 sigma) in excess of an empirical basal level. We inspected these candidate active stars using visible-wavelengthspectra, high-resolution adaptive optics imaging, time-series photometry, and literature searches to identify cases where the elevated NUV emission is due to unresolved background sources or stellar companions; we estimated the overall occurrence of these "false positives" as around 16%. We constructed a NUV luminosity function that accounted for false positives, detection biases of the source catalogs, and GALEX upper limits. We found the NUV luminosity function to be inconsistent with predictions from a constant star-formation rate and simplied age-activity relation defined by a two-parameter power law.

description: The EFAR project is a study of 736 candidate elliptical galaxies in 84 clusters lying in two regions, toward Hercules-Corona Borealis and Perseus-Pisces-Cetus, at distances cz ~ 6000-15,000 km s^-1^. In this paper (the first of a series), we present an introduction to the EFAR project and describe in detail the selection of the clusters and galaxies in our sample. Fundamental data for the galaxies and clusters are given, including accurate new positions for each galaxy and redshifts for each cluster. The galaxy selection functions are determined by using diameters measured from Schmidt sky survey images for 2185 galaxies in the cluster fields. Future papers in this series will present the spectroscopic and photometric observations of this sample, investigate the properties of the fundamental plane for elliptical galaxies, and determine the large- scale peculiar velocity fields in these two regions of the universe.

description: In this work, a gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) event observed by multispacecraft has been simulated. The time profiles of SEP fluxes accelerated by an interplanetary shock in the three-dimensional interplanetary space are obtained by solving numerically the Fokker-Planck focused transport equation. The interplanetary shock is modeled as a moving source of energetic particles. By fitting the 1979/03/01 SEP fluxes observed by Helios 1, Helios 2, and IMP 8 with our simulations, we obtain the best parameters for the shock acceleration efficiency model. And we also find that the particle perpendicular diffusion coefficient with the level of $ \sim 1\% - 3\% $ of parallel diffusion coefficient at 1 AU should be included. The reservoir phenomenon is reproduced in the simulations, and the longitudinal gradient of SEP fluxes in the decay phase, which is observed by three spacecraft at different locations, is more sensitive to the shock acceleration efficiency parameters than that is to the perpendicular diffusion coefficient.

The role of Ezh2 in transcriptional regulation of retrotransposons in the mouse germ line and embryonic stem cells
Creators: name: Huang, Tien-Chi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Transposable elements comprise approximately 40% of the mammalian genome. Some of those are still functionally active and therefore post a potential threat to genome integrity. Many epigenetic mechanisms have evolved to restrict these parasitic elements. Among these, DNA methylation is critical for repressing the expression of retrotransposons during mouse embryonic development. However, DNA methylation is dramatically reduced during primordial germ cell (PGC) development and early embryogenesis, which creates a potential window for retrotransposon reactivation. It is still not fully clear how the activity of retrotransposons is controlled during these stages. At chromatin level, alternative epigenetic pathways, such as repressive histone modifications, may replace the role of DNA methylation. I propose that Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), which can catalyse histone H3 lysine 27 methylation, may play an essential role to control these transposable elements in the situation when the genome undergoes extensive DNA demethylation. Ezh2, containing SET domain, is a catalytic subunit of the PRC2 complex that is responsible for the histone methyltransferase activity. Using conditional knockout strategy to delete Ezh2 in mouse PGCs, I demonstrate that depletion of Ezh2 and H3K27me3 results in a profound reactivation of retrotransposons in PGCs, especially at E13.5. The derepression of retrotransposons leads to ƳH2AX accumulation, an indicator of DNA damage, in female germ cells. Furthermore, this appearance of increased ƳH2AX in the female mutant PGCs is not due to precocious onset of meiosis. PGCs are characterized by low gnomic DNA methylation. To test whether Ezh2 has a similar role in repressing retrotransposons in embryonic stem (ES) cells with hypomethylated genome. I have generated inducible Ezh2 knockout ES cell lines. The result indicates that Ezh2-mediated H3K27me3 is enriched on retrotransposons, such as LINE-1 Gf and IAP in ES cells with low DNA methylation. However, depletion of Ezh2 only shows a minimal impact on retrotransposon transcription, which is consistent with the observation of no significant transcriptional changes in Ezh2-deficient ES cells. Taken together, I demonstrate that Ezh2 is required for transcriptional repression of retrotransposons to protect genome integrity during PGC development, whereas in ES cells, H3K9me3-mediated repressive mechanisms may be more critical to control these repetitive elements.

description: Poorly planned urbanisation can lead to societal challenges as social deprivation, climate change, deteriorating health and increasing pressure on urban nature. Urban ecosystem restoration can contribute to lessen these challenges, e.g. through implementing nature-based solutions (NBS). This presentation was made as part of the online webinar ‘Sustaining cities, Naturally: Urban ecosystem restoration in Europe, China and Latin America’, which took place as an official side-event of the European Week of Regions and Cities 2022 on 13th and 14th October 2023. The webinar was jointly organised by the projects: INTERLACE, CONEXUS, Regreen and CLEARING HOUSE. The webinar illustrated how Horizon 2020 projects support international cooperation in knowledge creation and knowledge exchange between local authorities and researchers to promote urban ecosystem restoration in Europe, China and Latin America and brought together cities, regions and local authorities, city network representatives, policy makers, researchers, civil society and experts on nature-based solutions and urban ecosystem restoration from Europe, China and Latin America.

description: We investigate the effects of thermonuclear reaction-rate uncertainties on nova nucleosynthesis. One-zone nucleosynthesis calculations have been performed by adopting temperature-density-time profiles of the hottest hydrogen-burning zone (i.e., the region in which most of the nucleosynthesis takes place). We obtain our profiles from seven different, recently published, hydrodynamic nova simulations covering peak temperatures in the range from Tpeak = 0.145 to 0.418 GK. For each of these profiles, we individually varied the rates of 175 reactions within their associated errors and analyzed the resulting abundance changes of 142 isotopes in the mass range below A = 40. In total, we performed ≈7350 nuclear reaction network calculations. We use the most recent thermonuclear reaction-rate evaluations for the mass ranges A = 1-20 and 20-40. For the theoretical astrophysicist, our results indicate the extent to which nova nucleosynthesis calculations depend on currently uncertain nuclear physics input, while for the experimental nuclear physicist, our results represent at least a qualitative guide for future measurements at stable and radioactive ion beam facilities. We find that present reaction-rate estimates are reliable for predictions of Li, Be, C, and N abundances in nova nucleosynthesis. However, rate uncertainties of several reactions have to be reduced significantly in order to predict more reliable O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Cl, and Ar abundances. Results are presented in tabular form for each adopted nova simulation.

description: Ce papier présente la modélisation des propriétés effectives thermiques des biocomposites à base de granulats végétaux de tournesol en utilisant la méthode d’homogénéisation numérique. La prédiction des propriétés effectives est très importante à la fois pour l’optimisation des mélanges de ces matériaux et l’étude du comportement des parois dans le cadre d’une rénovation thermique des bâtiments. Le volume élémentaire représentatif et la forme des hétérogénéités ont été choisis pour décrire la microstructure complexe des matériaux biosourcés étudiés. Une méthodologie d’homogénéisation par plusieurs étapes est proposée pour prendre en compte la fraction volumique très importante des granulats végétaux faisant de la matrice une phase de fraction faible enrobant partiellement ces granulats. Les biocomposites à base de terre crue et de granulats de tournesol étudiés montrent une forte porosité intergranulaire difficile à quantifier pour la prendre en compte dans la description de la microstructure. Il s’agit de trois mélanges développés pour l’isolation thermique des bâtiments : terre-crue écorce de tournesol, terre-moelle de tournesol, et terre-mélange écorce moelle. La comparaison des résultats numériques et expérimentaux a mis en évidence, la capacité de l’approche numérique à prédire la conductivité effective des biocomposites et les limites de l’approche à reproduire la microstructure de cette nouvelle génération de matériaux.

Dissecting the role of the tight junction in Plasmodium merozoite invasion of the human erythrocyte
Creators: name: Lyth, Oliver
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Erythrocyte invasion by the malaria causing Plasmodium parasites is a highly coordinated process. Formation of a structure called the tight junction, composed of the AMA1-RON complex in P. falciparum, is a prerequisite for successful invasion and is thought to represent a conserved mechanism of invasion across Apicomplexan parasites. Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic parasite causing severe-to-lethal malaria disease in humans, has only recently been adapted to continuous culture in human erythrocytes. In comparison to the most virulent human malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, there are, however, few cellular tools available to study its biology in particular direct investigation of erythrocyte invasion by blood-stage P. knowlesi merozoites. Work presented in this thesis reports a robust method for the isolation of viable and invasive P. knowlesi merozoites to high purity and yield. Purified merozoites were used to establish two important cellular applications: a P. knowlesi invasion inhibition assay; and high-resolution imaging of P. knowlesi merozoites captured during invasion. I use the new-found ability to isolate human-adapted P. knowlesi merozoites to explore comparative dissection of merozoite invasion revealing P. knowlesi can invade human erythrocytes by a Basigin independent mechanism. This raises important mechanistic questions towards the essential P. falciparum Rh5-Basigin interaction. Additionally, I utilise the larger, robust P. knowlesi merozoites as a model to investigate the tight junction during Plasmodium invasion and show the RON complex also plays a key conserved role in erythrocyte invasion by a second human infectious Plasmodium species. Finally, preliminary evidence presented here tentatively identifies an additional member of the megadalton PkRON complex, PkRALP1. Further work investigating this candidate might reveal mechanistic details of how the tight junction forms and facilitates erythrocyte invasion. In brief, the P. knowlesi merozoite platform validated here provides a valuable tool for cross-species comparative invasion biology analysis.

description: We have obtained spectra for 1273 stars using the 0.9 m coudé feed telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. This telescope feeds the coudé spectrograph of the 2.1 m telescope. The spectra have been obtained with the no. 5 camera of the coudé spectrograph and a Loral 3K × 1K CCD. Two gratings have been used to provide spectral coverage from 3460 to 9464 Å, at a resolution of ~1 Å FWHM and at an original dispersion of 0.44 Å pixel-1. For 885 stars we have complete spectra over the entire 3460 to 9464 Å wavelength region (neglecting small gaps of less than 50 Å), and partial spectral coverage for the remaining stars. The 1273 stars have been selected to provide broad coverage of the atmospheric parameters Teff, log g, and [Fe/H], as well as spectral type. The goal of the project is to provide a comprehensive library of stellar spectra for use in the automated classification of stellar and galaxy spectra and in galaxy population synthesis. In this paper we discuss the characteristics of the spectral library, viz., details of the observations, data reduction procedures, and selection of stars. We also present a few illustrations of the quality and information available in the spectra. The first version of the complete spectral library is now publicly available from the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) via ftp and http.

description: L’introduction de ressources végétales dans la formulation des matériaux permet de réduire l’impact environnemental du secteur de la construction. Cette étude vise à développer un traitement ignifugeant adapté aux isolants thermiques à base de fibres de chanvre. Le but est de limiter les impacts énergétiques, sanitaires et environnementaux du traitement, tout en optimisant les performances techniques des produits traités. Un protocole de laboratoire est mis en place pour évaluer l’effet retardateur de flamme du traitement. Les fibres traitées avec des solutions commerciales ou des formulations spécifiques sont soumises à différents essais de caractérisation incluant des essais d’inflammation directe, des essais à la petite flamme, des analyses thermiques (ATD-TG) et des essais au calorimètre à cône. Les résultats obtenus permettent d’orienter la formulation d’un traitement mais mettent également en évidence la complémentarité de ses méthodes d’analyse. Le couplage des résultats permet également de proposer un ajustement de modèles prédictifs conduisant à l’estimation du classement de réaction au feu selon l’Euroclasse des matériaux testés.

description: We present a new library of integrated spectra of 40 Galactic globular clusters, obtained with the Blanco 4 m telescope and the R-C spectrograph at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The spectra cover the range ~3350-6430 Å with ~3.1 Å (FWHM) resolution. The spectroscopic observations and data reduction were designed to integrate the full projected area within the cluster core radii in order to properly sample the light from stars in all relevant evolutionary stages. The S/N values of the flux-calibrated spectra range from 50 to 240 Å-1 at 4000 Å and from 125 to 500 Å-1 at 5000 Å. The selected targets span a wide range of cluster parameters, including metallicity, horizontal-branch morphology, Galactic coordinates, Galactocentric distance, and concentration. The total sample is thus fairly representative of the entire Galactic globular cluster population and should be valuable for comparison with similar integrated spectra of unresolved stellar populations in remote systems. For most of the library clusters, our spectra can be coupled with deep color-magnitude diagrams and reliable metal abundances from the literature to enable the calibration of stellar population synthesis models. In this paper we present a detailed account of the observations and data reduction. The spectral library is publicly available in electronic format from the National Optical Astronomical Observatory Web site.

description: Poorly planned urbanisation can lead to societal challenges as social deprivation, climate change, deteriorating health and increasing pressure on urban nature. Urban ecosystem restoration can contribute to lessen these challenges, e.g. through implementing nature-based solutions (NBS). This presentation was made as part of the online webinar ‘Sustaining cities, Naturally: Urban ecosystem restoration in Europe, China and Latin America’, which took place as an official side-event of the European Week of Regions and Cities 2022 on 13th and 14th October 2023. The webinar was jointly organised by the projects: INTERLACE, CONEXUS, Regreen and CLEARING HOUSE. The webinar illustrated how Horizon 2020 projects support international cooperation in knowledge creation and knowledge exchange between local authorities and researchers to promote urban ecosystem restoration in Europe, China and Latin America and brought together cities, regions and local authorities, city network representatives, policy makers, researchers, civil society and experts on nature-based solutions and urban ecosystem restoration from Europe, China and Latin America.

description: The introduction (Chapter 1) provides an overview of the main topics encountered in the thesis including the stepwise generation of multimetallic assemblies based on different chelating ligands; gold nanoparticles and surface functionalization; palladium-based catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous). This last part focuses on C-H functionalization and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions, reporting examples and dealing with the recovery process and re-use of palladium from secondary sources. Chapter 2 outlines the stepwise generation of mono-, bi- and multimetallic assemblies based on different polyfunctional ligands including dicarboxylates, pyridine derivatives and dithiocarbamates. The synthesis and characterisation of the novel complexes are described along with the immobilisation of a ruthenium compound bearing a disulfide ligand on the surface of gold and palladium nanoparticles. In the third Chapter, the research focus shifts to the synthesis and characterisation of mono- and bi-metallic novel palladium complexes bearing dithiocarbamate ligands. In addition, the preparation of palladium dithiooxamide complexes derived from secondary sources (spent catalytic converters) is described. All the palladium complexes were screened as potential homogeneous catalysts in the C-H activation of benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline. The optimisation of the reaction conditions by varying three different factors: catalyst loading, temperature and time; is tested and discussed. In Chapter 4, the use of simple and commercially available iodine and a tetrabutylammonium salt as leaching agents in a palladium recovery process is described. The reactivity of bimetallic palladium complexes generated from the process was then investigated in the C-H activation and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Furthermore, a novel route to produce a variety Pd(II) catalyst via ligand exchange reaction of bimetallic palladium complex with inexpensive phosphine ligands is also presented. These catalysts were tested using electron- donating and withdrawing substrates in the cross-coupling reaction of phenylboronic acid. Chapter 5 extends the scope of the research to heterogeneous catalysis. The preparation, characterisation and immobilisation of novel palladium(II) dithiocarbamate complexes are described, along with construction of silica and silica-coated iron-oxide nanoparticles and the support of the complex on the nanoparticles. The reactivity of unsupported and supported complexes toward C-H functionalization of benzo[h]quinoline is discussed. The overall conclusions of the thesis are discussed in Chapter 6. Experimental procedures related to the synthesis, characterisation and catalytic studies of the compounds in Chapter 2 to 5 are detailed in Chapter 7.

description: A description is given of the algorithms implemented in the AstroBEAR adaptive mesh-refinement code for ideal magnetohydrodynamics. The code provides several high-resolution shock-capturing schemes which are constructed to maintain conserved quantities of the flow in a finite-volume sense. Divergence-free magnetic field topologies are maintained to machine precision by collating the components of the magnetic field on a cell-interface staggered grid and utilizing the constrained transport approach for integrating the induction equations. The maintenance of magnetic field topologies on adaptive grids is achieved using prolongation and restriction operators which preserve the divergence and curl of the magnetic field across collocated grids of different resolutions. The robustness and correctness of the code is demonstrated by comparing the numerical solution of various tests with analytical solutions or previously published numerical solutions obtained by other codes.

description: Type I X-ray bursts (XRBs) are thermonuclear stellar explosions driven by charged-particle reactions. In the regime for combined H/He-ignition, the main nuclear flow is dominated by the rp-process (rapid proton-captures and {beta}{sup +}-decays), the 3{alpha}-reaction, and the {alpha}p-process (a suite of ({alpha}, p) and (p, {gamma}) reactions). The main flow is expected to proceed away from the valley of stability, eventually reaching the proton drip line beyond A = 38. Detailed analysis of the relevant reactions along the main path has only been scarcely addressed, mainly in the context of parameterized one-zone models. In this paper, we present a detailed study of the nucleosynthesis and nuclear processes powering type I XRBs. The reported 11 bursts have been computed by means of a spherically symmetric (one-dimensional), Lagrangian, hydrodynamic code, linked to a nuclear reaction network that contains 325 isotopes (from {sup 1}H to {sup 107}Te), and 1392 nuclear processes. These evolutionary sequences, followed from the onset of accretion up to the explosion and expansion stages, have been performed for two different metallicities to explore the dependence between the extension of the main nuclear flow and the initial metal content. We carefully analyze the dominant reactions and the products of nucleosynthesis, togethermore » with the physical parameters that determine the light curve (including recurrence times, ratios between persistent and burst luminosities, or the extent of the envelope expansion). Results are in qualitative agreement with the observed properties of some well-studied bursting sources. Leakage from the predicted SbSnTe cycle cannot be discarded in some of our models. Production of {sup 12}C (and implications for the mechanism that powers superbursts), light p-nuclei, and the amount of H left over after the bursting episodes will also be discussed.« less
