Novel insights into discoidin domain receptor 1 activation and regulation
Creators: name: Juskaite, Victoria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: The discoidin domain receptors, DDR1 and DDR2, are intriguing receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) that signal in response to collagen with unusually delayed autophosphorylation kinetics. Both DDRs play essential roles in development and regulate cell adhesion, migration, invasion, proliferation, and survival. The DDRs are attractive drug targets for atherosclerosis, arthritis, organ fibrosis, and various forms of cancer, but how collagen binding translates to DDR activation is not well understood. Previous studies suggested that DDR1 activation occurs in intracellular compartments following collagen-induced endocytosis. To define this mechanism further, I used biochemical assays and immunofluorescence. Contrary to the proposed activation mechanism, collagen did not induce DDR1 internalisation, and ligand-induced DDR1 phosphorylation was limited to the plasma membrane, supporting a mechanism whereby DDR1 is activated on the cell surface. Activation of the majority of RTKs occurs by ligand-induced dimerisation. However, the DDRs are constitutive, non-covalent dimers, which led to the hypothesis that activation of DDRs arises by collagen-induced lateral association (clustering) of DDR dimers on the cell membrane. To investigate this mechanism, different types of signalling-incompetent DDR1 mutants (‘receiver’) were co-expressed with functional DDR1 (‘donor’), and phosphorylation of receiver DDR1 by donor DDR1 was monitored by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, or by immunofluorescence. Making use of enforced covalent DDR1 dimerisation, which does not affect receptor activation, I demonstrate that the donor phosphorylates receiver DDR1 dimers in trans in a process that requires kinase activity of the donor but not the receiver. Intriguingly, DDR1 phosphorylation in trans is not dependent on ectodomain contacts, specific intracellular regions, the fibrillar nature of collagen, or a particular mode of activation, but requires intact transmembrane domain interactions. Moreover, collagen induces redistribution of DDR1 into a more compact structure, and mutant DDR1 that cannot bind collagen is recruited to collagen when co-expressed with a functional receptor. In summary, this thesis uncovered a mechanism of DDR1 activation whereby collagen induces clustering of DDR1 dimers on the cell surface, which leads to phosphorylation between dimers.

description: ABSTRACTTransport of aerosol particles is a fundamental phenomenon in many environmental and industrial applications. Among the several computational fluid dynamical schemes used to study this problem, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has shown great promises. Using a 2-D LBM model coupled with a Lagrangian formalism, this study investigates an early stage of particle-surface collisions in a free-stream flow over a semi-infinite array of staggered obstructions at operating conditions of woven-wire screens. After an initial validation of the model, the particle-surface collision efficiency with different diameters is then examined as functions of the number of staggered obstructions, obstruction morphology, and separation distance between two center points of obstructions. Particle motion mechanisms include drag, lift and Brownian forces. Enhanced collision efficiency of particles to obstructions due to the presence of multiple staggered cylindrical obstructions is identified and highlighted. Based on these insights, our work also explores the possibility that collision efficiency of particles to obstructions can be enhanced by a change of obstruction morphology. Finally, the results highlight the range where particle-surface collision efficiency is sensitive to the longitudinal spacing between two cylindrical obstructions.

description: В современных условиях комплекс нематериальных факторов роста инновационного потенциала хозяйствующего субъекта проявляется как воплощение нефинансовых стимулов роста производительности и качества труда. Рост инновационности производств усиливает потребность в развитии универсальных способностей человека к труду, в универсальной подготовке его к инновационной деятельности. В условиях XXI века наблюдаются процессы универсализации капитала, направленные на совершенствование производства и повышение уникальной значимости человека в социо-эколого-экономической системе. Состояние человеческого капитала любого хозяйствующего субъекта тесно сопряжено с его конкурентоспособностью. И это естественно, ибо более образованные и квалифицированные специалисты всегда способны быстрее и эффективнее освоить новые технологии, процессы и т.п. Причем, это положение становится определяющим, так как наращивание образованности человека сопровождается дополнительной экономической выгодой для хозяйствующего субъекта. Эксперты также отмечают, что образованные люди имеют несравненно большую вероятность стать обеспеченными, что, в целом, может выступать в качестве гаранта социальной стабильности и предсказуемости среднего класса. [1,4,7] Анализ специальной литературы по рассматриваемой проблематике показывает, что диагностирование параметров человеческого капитала на сегодня является очень сложной задачей, т.к. эта категория носит целостный, интегральный характер. Одним из наиболее популярных методов оценки и сравнения уровня социально-экономического состояния разных стран является индекс развития человеческого потенциала (ИРЧП), предложенный ООН. В нашей статье мы провели исследование воздействия факторов качества человеческого капитала на инновационную активность предприятий

description: In today’s world, the pursuit of a novel anti-cancer agent remains top priority because of the fact that the global burden of this malady is continuously increasing. Our work is no different from others in searching for new therapeutic solutions. To achieve this, we are looking into Epigenetics, the phenomenon governed by hypermethylation and hypomethylation of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes, respectively. Our target for this study is an important intermediary methyl-CpG binding protein named kaiso. In our study, we have used the X-ray crystallographic structure of Kaiso for virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations to study the binding modes of possible inhibitors. The C2H2 domain comprising LYS539 was used for screening the inter bio screen Database having 48,531 natural compounds. Our approach of using computer-aided drug designing methods helped us to remove the execrable compounds and narrowed our focus on a selected few for molecular simulation studies. The top ranked compound (chem. ID 28127) exhibited the highest binding affinity and was also found to be stable throughout the 20 ns timeframe. This compound is therefore a good starting point for developing strong inhibitors.

description: Проблема формирования и увеличения доходов за счет различных источников является весьма актуальной для аграрных предприятий. Рост доходов организаций аграрного сектора экономики способствует осуществлению расширенного воспроизводства и устойчивому развитию сельского хозяйства региона. В современных экономических условиях аграрный сектор экономики характеризуется определенной нестабильностью в формировании цен на сельскохозяйственную продукцию, что приводит к адекватным доходам в отрасли. Доходы сельскохозяйственных организаций включают в себя поступления средств от обычных видов деятельности и прочих операций. Доходы аграрных предприятий формируются преимущественно за счет выручки от реализации продукции основных отраслей. С целью пополнения своих доходов современные сельскохозяйственные организации осуществляют операции, не связанные с основной деятельностью. В статье приведены результаты исследования доходности сельскохозяйственных организаций региона. Рассмотрен состав и структура доходов в сельском хозяйстве. Исследованы тенденции формирования доходов аграрных предприятий. Представлены показатели эффективности основных отраслей и направлений деятельности сельскохозяйственных организаций Краснодарского края

description: The influence of internal and external characteristics on energy use in the public sector office stock in England and Wales is explored using a database of 2600 Display Energy Certificates (DECs) combined with other sources of disaggregated office information. The DEC office benchmarks are shown to match the median fossil thermal and electrical consumptions well. Analyses of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), size, occupancy density, building age, location and rateable value are considered. While newer offices are shown to have lower typical fossil-thermal consumption than older offices, this is counterbalanced by higher electrical consumption, resulting in higher typical CO2 emissions. This has implications for the UK's emissions reduction targets for 2050, indicating that while building regulations that focus on thermal performance have been successful, a focus on electrical consumption (both regulated and unregulated) is key. The results are also compared with existing benchmarks for all UK offices, splitting the sample into four generic types, and compared with a similar smaller study of private offices. This indicates that public offices typically used less energy than the general benchmarks had previously predicted, particularly for prestige offices.

description: Актуальность исследования обусловлена тем, что строительство является важнейшей отраслью российской экономики, которая оказывает существенное влияние на динамику ее развития и несет особенную социальную нагрузку. Инвестиции в строительство формируют мультипликационный эффект, проявляющийся в росте деловой активности в смежных отраслях. Это приводит к созданию дополнительных рабочих мест, повышению оплаты труда работников и, как следствие, увеличению потребительского спроса и снижению социальной напряженности. Строительство оказывает непосредственное воздействие на региональную экономику, поскольку строительные компании в основной своей массе зарегистрированы в регионах и активно участвуют в формировании доходной части региональных бюджетов. Возведенные объекты также остаются на территории регионов и становятся важными элементами региональной инфраструктуры. Наличие жилой недвижимости считается одним из главных показателей благосостояния обычных граждан. Статистические показатели накопленного имущества и обеспеченности населения жильем ключевые показатели уровня жизни. К выбору и приобретению жилья россияне подходят с максимальной ответственностью и осторожностью, так как для многих это едва ли не главная покупка в жизни, которую возможно и не придется повторить. Целью исследования является оценка уровня развития строительства по регионам Центрального федерального округа. Соответственно цели решаются задачи разбиения регионов округа на однородные кластеры по нескольким показателям и количественная характеристика образованных кластеров. Группировка регионов проводилась на основе многомерного кластерного анализа. Результатом исследования является формирование и характеристика региональных кластеров по уровню развития строительства.

description: Статья посвящена анализу актуальной темы мотивации сотрудников научно-инновационной и творческой деятельности в условиях экономики знаний. Авторы на основе изучения традиционных теорий мотивации приходят к тому, что они имеют недостаточный потенциал для решения проблемы мотивации персонала, особенно в креативных сферах из-за того, что не учитывают индивидуальные особенности человека, а также не обеспечивают быструю адаптацию к фундаментальным трендам развития экономики. В этой связи предложена новая методика мотивации – геймификация, суть применения которой сводится к внедрению игровых техник в творческий процесс. Авторами проверена работоспособность данного метода на примере научно-исследовательской лаборатории «документирования знаний и онтологического инжиниринга», определены его ключевые черты и преимущества. Методологической основой исследования выступают описание и анализ теорий мотивации, синтез и обобщение их недостатков и преимуществ геймификации, а также систематизация полученных результатов
Highly integrated urban energy, water and waste systems
Creators: name: Ravalde, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Urbanisation continues to bring socioeconomic well-being to an ever-growing global urban population. Nevertheless, there is an environmental and economic imperative for cities to use resources more sustainably. One way to achieve this is to take advantage of the fact that, in cities, resource management infrastructure from the energy, water and waste sectors is co-located, such that the wastes and by-products from one process become the inputs to another (for example, sending organic waste to anaerobic digestion to produce biogas for energy generation). This thesis helps planners and policy makers to begin realising these intersectoral synergies, through contributions to the field of urban metabolism. First, a conceptual model is developed which can describe how a city’s mix of processes affect is metabolism. Second, methods are needed which quantify how well different sectors work together to make an area’s metabolism more efficient; to that end, analysis on historic urban resource flows show the usefulness of exergy analysis and ecological network analysis. Third, data is required which shows the possibilities for one process’s wastes to become another’s inputs; for this, a database is assembled which records the resource consumption and production of various urban resource management process (made public under an open-source license). Fourth, the Processes, Resource and Qualities (PRaQ) model is developed; PRaQ is a mixed-integer linear programme which simultaneously chooses the mix of energy, water and waste management processes an area could use to minimise an objective (emissions, for example), thereby taking into account intersectoral synergies. Applying PRaQ to a new urban development in China shows how an area’s urban metabolism can be made measurably more efficient according to various metrics. In summary, this work advances the urban metabolism concept to support improvements to urban resource sustainability, by showing how a city’s mix of process affects its overall metabolic flows.

Antenna arrays for co-channel interference mitigation in wireless communications
Creators: name: Gabillard, Thibaud
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis, the capability of antenna arrays to combat co-channel interference is investigated. Initially, a parametric channel model based on the array manifold is presented and then exploited in various parts of the thesis. An emphasis is given to the impact of the antenna array geometry on the overall system performance, even in the case of systems that employ large antenna arrays (massive MIMO). Furthermore, the worst-case scenario of an interfering signal being received within a small angular separation from a source is investigated. With this, the performance of a set of array geometries is ascertained for the tasks of detection, estimation and beamforming. Links between the performance metrics and the underlying array manifolds are made and it is demonstrated that some array manifold features are more desirable for certain tasks than others. This sets the ground for the design of novel antenna arrays that would be specialised for certain telecommunication tasks. Then the novel concept of capacity loss, that is the loss of channel capacity due to the presence of interference is introduced and expressed as a function of the antenna array geometry and the signals directions of arrival. It is demonstrated that large antenna arrays with very long manifold curves do not necessarily perform the best, and smaller antenna arrays with optimised geometry could be considered instead. Finally, the parametric channel model that the thesis is based upon is utilised to present a novel blind channel estimation and complete interference cancellation beamformer. Throughout the thesis, extensive computer simulations are presented to analyse and illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithms.

The effect of social networks on the participation by those with parental responsibility in the baby immunisation programme in the UK
Creators: name: Pople, Diane Mary
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: The majority of UK parents participate in the recommended baby vaccination programme, but some vaccines (notably MMR) have uptake below levels recommended to control outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease, and this risk increases if the unvaccinated children are clustered. We explored the hypothesis that vaccination decisions made by parents based on information shared peer-to -peer could create clusters of opinions, and contribute to local vaccine uptake variations. Ecological analysis of MMR uptake on a small spatial scale confirmed uneven coverage and a while a regression model showed uptake was associated with ethnicity and extremes of education, overall the observations were poorly explained by demographic factors. Mathematical modelling of decisions influenced by sharing information confirmed this process is theoretically able to create opinion clusters and changes in the proportions intending to vaccinate, but that results are qualitatively and quantitatively sensitive to network structure and decision representation. This uncertainty could not be resolved for UK baby vaccinations with existing data, so a survey was undertaken to address the knowledge gaps. Data were gathered on parents’ networks of vaccine-information providers and on other variables within the MMR-measles decision-infection system, including social contacts for preschool children (with a larger sample than provided by all-age studies). The survey provided evidence of individual-level vaccination-behaviour clustering and informed revised mathematical models using empirically-supported network structures and decision representation. These simulations showed the UK conditions could enable information-sharing to create increased opinion clustering and to shift population-level vaccination sentiment (increasing those supporting schedule adherence). Through an integrated programme of statistical analysis, data collection and mathematical modelling this thesis provides evidence to confirm the presence of clusters of vaccine opinion and to support the hypothesis that an information-sharing process is able to increase opinion clustering, albeit in a manner requiring further investigation to ascertain the associated relative outbreak risk.

Evolutionary Perspectives on Male Homosexuality: A Literature Review

Year: 2018

description: This review provides a comprehensive coverage of the leading evolutionary hypotheses to date on male homosexuality (namely the sexual antagonism model, the tipping-point model, and the kin selection hypothesis). It does so by first (1), surveying prominent findings on the nature and biological causes of male homosexuality; second (2), discussing the effects of male homosexuality on individual fitness; and third (3), outlining the contending evolutionary theories on male homosexuality and critically evaluating each against current pertinent empirical evidence. This review reveals that male homosexuality is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon influenced by an interplay of genomic and environmental factors that may have had unique evolutionary trajectories. Thus, there is likely more than one evolutionary mechanism at play responsible for the maintenance of gay alleles in the human population. Current research largely supports the notion that gay alleles bestow fitness benefits on heterosexual carriers. The tipping-point model and sexual antagonism model, but not the kin selection hypothesis, are in line with current empirical evidence. Future research into the genomic underpinnings of sexual orientation in homosexual males and its genetic equivalents in heterosexual males and females may allow for further evaluation of these hypotheses.

The Genomic History of Elephants Provides Proof of a Third African Species and has Important Implications for Conservation
Creators: name: Kratzer, Kateryna
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Manitoba's Undergraduate Science and Engineering Research
Year: 2018

description: African elephants have historically been classified as a single species. New research into the genomic history of proboscideans has confirmed that the African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) are in fact distinct species. The depauperate genetic variability of L. africana which may be due to a bottleneck in their evolutionary history increases their species vulnerability. Reclassifying these elephants as distinct species would promote unique conservation approaches for each species, which are likely necessary to prevent the further decline and potential extinction of elephant populations.Â Â Keywords: Proboscidean, Phylogeny, Species, Genetic bottleneck, Conservation

Social Behaviour and Trophic Interactions of Gray Wolves (Canis lupus), the Keystone Species in Yellowstone National Park

description: The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is an apex predator described as a keystone species in Yellowstone National Park (YNP). Their importance in this habitat was unknown until they were anthropogenically extirpated in the 1920s. The 75-year absence of gray wolves in YNP led to severe declines in biodiversity, species richness, and habitat quality, all of which were reversed upon wolf reintroduction in 1995. Complex social behaviours and trophic interactions are the driving forces behind the gray wolvesâ€™ ability to directly and indirectly provide benefits for almost all species of fauna and flora within Yellowstone National Park. This paper reviews how wolvesâ€™ interactions with trophic level as well as animal behavioural changes have helped in reshaping the dynamics of Yellowstone National Park.

description: Although existing economic research is informative with regard to the importance of including potential ‘catastrophic’ climate change impacts in the analysis of GHG mitigation benefits, the generic and abstract form of the ‘catastrophe’ implemented has led to a lack of specific policy implications. This article provides an important starting point for a discussion of how to improve economic modelling of potential large-scale impacts of climate change. It considers how the term ‘abrupt climate change’ has been used in the scientific literature to describe changes in the climate system and carefully reviews the characteristics of the events that have been discussed in this context. The findings are compared to the way in which the economic literature has modelled potential economic and human welfare impacts of these ‘catastrophic’ events. In general, the economics literature is found to have modelled such impacts in a uniform way that fails to account for differences in relevant end points and timescales. The result is policy recommendations based on events that do not resemble those of concern. Better treatment of these events in integrated assessment modelling would help ensure that future research efforts can serve as meaningful policy input.

description: The essential oils of leaves and flowers of Tanacetum dumosum Boiss., an endemic medicinal shrub, were extracted by using hydrodistillation method and analysed using GC and GC–MS. A total of 43 and 44 compounds were identified in the essential oils from the leaves and flowers of T. dumosum, respectively. The major chemical constituents of leaves oil were borneol (27.9%), bornyl acetate (18.4%), 1,8-cineol (17.5%), α-terpineol (5.3%), cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (3.3%), camphene (2.7%) and terpinene-4-ol (1.9%), while the main components of the flower oil were isobornyl-2-methyl butanoate (41.1%), trans-linalyl oxide acetate (11.9%), 1,8-cineole (7.7%), thymol (4.2%), linalool (3.9%), camphor (2.9%), isobornyl propanoate (2.9%), α-terpineol (2.1%) and caryophyllene oxide (2.0%). Major qualitative and quantitative variations for some main chemical compounds among different aerial parts of T. dumosum were identified. High contents of borneol, bornyl acetate, 1,8-cineol and linalool in the leaves and flowers of T. dumosum show its potential for use in the food and perfumery industry.
