description: In this paper, we propose a general framework to accelerate significantly the algorithms for nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). This framework is inspired from the extrapolation scheme used to accelerate gradient methods in convex optimization and from the method of parallel tangents. However, the use of extrapolation in the context of the two-block exact coordinate descent algorithms tackling the non-convex NMF problems is novel. We illustrate the performance of this approach on two state-of-the-art NMF algorithms, namely, accelerated hierarchical alternating least squares (A-HALS) and alternating nonnegative least squares (ANLS), using synthetic, image and document data sets.

Formation of a polar-ring galaxy in a galaxy merger

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We numerically investigate stellar and gas dynamics in star-forming and dissipative galaxy mergers between two disk galaxies with specific orbital configurations. We find that violent relaxation combined with gaseous dissipation in galaxy merging transforms two disk galaxies into one S0 galaxy with polar-rings: Both the central S0-like host and the polar-ring component in a polar-ring galaxy are originally disk galaxies. We also find that morphology of the developed polar-rings reflects both the initial orbit configuration of galaxy merging and the initial mass ratio of the two merger progenitor disk galaxies. Based upon these results, we discuss the origin of the fundamental observational properties of polar-ring galaxies, such as the prevalence of S0 galaxies among polar-ring galaxies, the rarity of polar-ring galaxies among S0 galaxies, the dichotomy between narrow polar-rings and annular ones, shapes of polar-ring warps, and an appreciably larger amount of interstellar gas in the polar-ring component.

description: Web archive collections are created with a particular purpose in mind. A curator selects seeds, or original resources, which are then captured by an archiving system and stored as archived web pages, or mementos. The systems that build web archive collections are often configured to revisit the same original resource multiple times. This is incredibly useful for understanding an unfolding news story or the evolution of an organization. Unfortunately, over time, some of these original resources can go off-topic and no longer suit the purpose for which the collection was originally created. They can go off-topic due to web site redesigns, changes in domain ownership, financial issues, hacking, technical problems, or because their content has moved on from the original topic. Even though they are off-topic, the archiving system will still capture them, thus it becomes imperative to anyone performing research on these collections to identify these off-topic mementos. Hence, we present the Off-Topic Memento Toolkit, which allows users to detect off-topic mementos within web archive collections. The mementos identified by this toolkit can then be separately removed from a collection or merely excluded from downstream analysis. The following similarity measures are available: byte count, word count, cosine similarity, Jaccard distance, Sørensen-Dice distance, Simhash using raw text content, Simhash using term frequency, and Latent Semantic Indexing via the gensim library. We document the implementation of each of these similarity measures. We possess a gold standard dataset generated by manual analysis, which contains both off-topic and on-topic mementos. Using this gold standard dataset, we establish a default threshold corresponding to the best F1 score for each measure. We also provide an overview of potential future directions that the toolkit may take.

description: Open clusters are convenient probes of the structure and history of the Galactic disk. They are also fundamental to stellar evolution studies. The second Gaia data release contains precise astrometry at the sub-milliarcsecond level and homogeneous photometry at the mmag level, that can be used to characterise a large number of clusters over the entire sky. In this study we aim to a establish list of members and derive mean parameters, in particular distances, for as many clusters as possible, making use of Gaia data alone. We compile a list of thousands of known or putative clusters from the literature. We then apply an unsupervised membership assignment code, UPMASK, to the Gaia DR2 data contained within the fields of those clusters. We obtained a list of members and cluster parameters for 1229 clusters. As expected, the youngest clusters are seen to be tightly distributed near the Galactic plane and to trace the spiral arms of the Milky Way, while older objects are more uniformly distributed, deviate further from the plane, and tend to be located at larger Galactocentric distances. Thanks to the quality of GaiaDR2 astrometry, the fully homogeneous parameters derived in this study are the most precise to date. Furthermore, we report on the serendipitous discovery of 60 new open clusters in the fields analysed during this study.

description: We argue that a correlated fluid of electrons and holes can exhibit a fractional quantum Hall effect at zero magnetic field analogous to the Laughlin state at filling $1/m$. We introduce a variant of the Laughlin wavefunction for electrons and holes and show that for $m=1$ it is the exact ground state of a free fermion model that describes $p_x + i p_y$ excitonic pairing. For $m>1$ we develop a simple composite fermion mean field theory, and we present evidence that our wavefunction correctly describes this phase. We derive an interacting Hamiltonian for which our wavefunction is the exact ground state, and we present physical arguments that the $m=3$ state can be realized in a system in which energy bands with angular momentum that differ by $3$ cross at the Fermi energy. This leads to a gapless state with $(p_x + i p_y)^3$ excitonic pairing, which we argue is conducive to forming the fractional excitonic insulator in the presence of interactions. Prospects for numerics on model systems and band structure engineering to realize this phase in real materials are discussed.

Single molecule studies on actin folding by the eukaryotic chaperonin CCT
Creators: name: Seaby, Thomas David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The eukaryotic, cytosolic chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT) is a protein folding nanomachine. CCT is a 1 MDa double-ring-structured ATPase which assists nascent polypeptides to reach their native conformational state. Obligate substrates include the cytoskeletal components actin and tubulin. Whilst significant structural studies have been conducted, relatively little is known about the dynamics of the ATP-dependent folding process. Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is a high signal to noise, single molecule, microscopy technique which has been previously used to observe both protein dynamics and extract enzyme kinetics at the single molecule level. We have immobilised functional CCT onto silica surfaces in order to extract dwell times and kinetics of the folding process, as CCT captures, folds and releases actin from its unfolded state to the folded G-actin monomer. A method for the immobilisation of CCT, via a calmodulin protein, has been developed. Mutant CCT-6CBP has a calmodulin binding peptide tag inserted into the apical domain of the CCT6 subunit and can be affinity captured via calmodulin immobilised to a borosilicate surface. The calmodulin-CCT interaction is calcium dependent and can be reversed allowing for discrimination between specific versus non-specific binding. ATP-dependent release of unfolded actin from CCT complexes immobilised to silica surfaces has proven to be problematic. Complexes can be specifically bound but subsequently seem to lose functional folding behaviour. Attempts to count the numbers of the stimulatory cofactor phosducin-like protein 2 (PLP2) and actin monomers bound to the CCT complex, utilising photobleaching, is described. A program for the analysis of single molecule traces was written. Incorporating a Chung-Kennedy non-linear filter, this program provides stoichiometric data consistent with spectrophotometric methods. Analysis of CCT-actin-PLP2 complexes was not possible due to time constraints.

The role of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in articular cartilage
Creators: name: Tang, Xiaodi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Work from our group has identified an important role for the pericellular matrix (PCM) of cartilage in mechanotransduction. This region of the matrix sequesters regulatory molecules such as fibroblastic growth factor 2 (FGF2) and releases them upon mechanical stimulation. By carrying out a proteomic analysis of PCM proteins we identified an additional regulatory molecule, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). CTGF was of interest to us as this protein is up-regulated in osteoarthritis but its function in chondrocytes is unknown. I confirmed the pericellular localisation of CTGF in cartilage and showed that it binds to heparan sulphate perlecan and like FGF2, CTGF is rapidly released from the PCM upon cartilage injury. In order to determine its function in chondrocytes, I expressed recombinant CTGF and performed a microarray study in isolated human chondrocytes. Four genes were up- regulated by CTGF and all were known to be transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) inducible. Recombinant CTGF was able to activate SMAD2 in porcine chondrocytes indicating that it can activate the canonical TGFβ signalling pathway. Both CTGF induced gene expression and SMAD2 phosphorylation was abrogated by TGFβ neutralising antibody and the TGFβ receptor inhibitor SB431542, suggesting that the activity of CTGF is TGFβ dependent. Adding exogenous CTGF to rested porcine cartilage increased TGFβ protein accumulation without affecting TGFβ mRNA levels, suggesting that CTGF may control TGFβ protein’s bioavailability. Injured porcine cartilage caused rapid release of endogenous CTGF as well as a delayed accumulation of TGFβ in the conditioned medium (CM). TGFβ proteins are synthesised and secreted in a latent complex associated with the latency- associated peptide (LAP). When I analysed the explantation CM under non-reducing conditions, CTGF resolved at a high molecular weight (~150kDa), and a high molecular weight fraction of this CM contained SMAD2 activity suggesting that CTGF may be in complex with latent TGFβ. This was supported by the identification of LAP in CTGF immunoprecipitates. Injured cartilage from CTGF knockout mice released reduced levels of CTGF but apparently normal levels of TGFβ suggesting that CTGF is not necessary for release of latent TGFβ. However, SMAD2-phosphorylating ability of the medium was compromised indicating that CTGF controls TGFβ bioavailability principally by facilitating activation of latent complex at the surface of the chondrocyte. These data unveil a novel role for CTGF in cartilage through controlling TGFβ bioavailability.

We consider that merger progenitor disks begin to consume interstellar gas at moderate rate from z ~ 5 and then merge to form an elliptical with the secondary starburst at z=z_merge.

description: Background: Quality indicators (QIs) are used to measure and evaluate quality of care. However, QIs to evaluate care for HF patients in general practice in Belgium are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to determine which QIs, rooted in the electronic health record (EHR), are useful to monitor quality of care for patients with HF in general practice. Methods: The RAND/UCLA appropriateness method (a modified Delphi method) was used to define these assigned QIs. First, a literature review was performed to generate a list of possible QIs for HF. Second, by applying the SMART principle, 25 QIs were withheld. Third, an expert panel of health care providers experienced in HF (cardiologists, general practitioners and HF nurses) was convened. Finally, the panellists rated the QIs for appropriateness in three rounds. Results: The withheld QIs highlighted diverse aspects of HF care. In round 1, 20 of the 25 QIs were considered appropriate, and five were considered uncertain. In round 2, 19 QIs were rated appropriate, four inappropriate, and two uncertain. In round 3, the final 19 appropriate QIs were ranked to form a top 10. The top three began with the identification of the aetiology of HF, continued with the differentiation between HF with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, and concluded with the treatment of HF with an ACE-I and a β-blocker in third place. Conclusion: In this study, 19 QIs for HF in general practice, extractable from the EHR, were identified. These QIs should enable the qualitative monitoring of HF care.

description: Based on the recent RHIC and LHC experimental results, the $\langle p_T\rangle$ dependence of identified light flavour charged hadrons on $\sqrt{(\frac{dN}{dy})/S_{\perp}}$, relevant scale in gluon saturation picture, is studied from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=7.7 GeV up to 5.02 TeV. This study is extended to the slopes of the $\langle p_T\rangle$ dependence on the particle mass and the $\langleβ_T\rangle$ parameter from Boltzmann-Gibbs Blast Wave (BGBW) fits of the $p_T$ spectra. A systematic decrease of the slope of the $\langle p_T\rangle$ dependence on $\sqrt{(\frac{dN}{dy})/S_{\perp}}$ from BES to the LHC energies is evidenced. While for the RHIC energies, within the experimental errors, the $\langle p_T\rangle$/$\sqrt{(\frac{dN}{dy})/S_{\perp}}$ does not depend on centrality, at the LHC energies a deviation from a linear behaviour is observed towards the most central collisions. The influence of the corona contribution to the observed trends is discussed. The slopes of the $\langle p_T\rangle$ particle mass dependence and the $\langleβ_T\rangle$ parameter from BGBW fits scale well with $\sqrt{(\frac{dN}{dy})/S_{\perp}}$. Similar systematic trends for pp at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV are in a good agreement with the ones corresponding to Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV pointing to a system size independent behaviour.

description: Organic silicon quaternary ammonium salt (OSA), an environmentally friendly naturally occurring chemical, was used as a bacteriostatic agent against sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on a 20SiMn steel surface in simulated concrete pore solutions (SCP). Four different media were used: No SRB (NSRB), No SRB and OSA (NSRB + OSA), With SRB (WSRB), With SRB and OSA (WSRB + OSA). After biofilm growth for 28 days, optimized sessile SRB cells survived at the high pH of 11.35 and as a result these cells caused the breakdown of the passive film due to the metabolic activities of the SRB. Corrosion prevention results showed that the OSA was effective in mitigating the growth of the sessile SRB cells and reduced corrosion in the SCP. These results were further confirmed by scanning electron microscope images, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, confocal-laser scanning microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and corrosion testing using electrochemical analysis.
Terahertz Pulsed Imaging of lower gastrointestinal mucosa: an in vitro study
Creators: name: Reese, George Edward
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Medical imaging using Terahertz frequency radiation is in its infancy. Optical adjuncts to enhance the diagnostic precision of white light endoscopy are not new and almost all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum have, at some point, been investigated to this end. The ultimate aim of an endoscopic technique is to identify 100% of mucosal lesions and to classify them with 100% specificity. Methods: This thesis examined the sensitivity and specificity of current technology to accurately identify colonic pathology using a diagnostic precision analysis of published data. The effect of biomaterials such as blood, mucus and faeces on Terahertz radiation was assessed using human tissue samples from health volunteers. The ability to discriminate pathological from normal colonic mucosa was assessed using terahertz radiation to interrogate excised samples of human colon. The physical nature of variation between pathological and normal colonic mucosa was assessed using histological markers in an attempt to identify the cause of terahertz radiation contrast. Results: Current technology has a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 78% in a non- inflamed colon. Terahertz pulsed imaging is a sensitive and specific technique for in vitro classification of colonic mucosal pathology. TPI may be a useful adjunct in the presence of inflamed mucosal tissue. Although there were too few data from the present study to quantify any potential benefit. The effects of blood, stool and mucus on TPI are similar but less pronounced than water. Immunohistochemical analysis has demonstrated an association between vascular and lymphatic density with neoplasia. This may be a mechanism for TPI discrimination of colonic pathology. TPI could in the future contribute to a minimally invasive method of in vivo diagnosis of colonic dysplasia or malignancy. Larger scale and in vivo trials of the technology are necessary to further investigate the potential clinical benefit.
Amino acid metabolism in the inflammatory niche
Creators: name: Wang, Alice Chun-Yin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Stroma and parenchyma represent the supportive and functional components in every organ of the body, respectively. Beyond their ability to produce structural support and to differentiate into tissues of mesodermal origin, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exhibit potent immunomodulatory properties. Such a function requires an activation step (‘licensing signal’) provided by the inflammatory microenvironment to which MSC are exposed. My results have attributed immunosuppressive effects of MSC to essential amino acid (EAA) deprivation. Amongst the EAA consuming enzymes examined, blocking nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) and histidine decarboxylase (HDC) both resulted in impaired anti-proliferative activity of MSC, while NOS2 appeared to be a more prominent effector. My results have also demonstrated that TNF-α and IFN-γ differently account for NOS2 and HDC up-regulation, respectively. Furthermore, MyD88 and NF-ĸB were identified as upstream mediators for initiating NOS2 production. The role of TNF-α and NOS2 in MSC-mediated immunosuppression was assessed in vivo using a murine model of peritonitis. MSC treatment remarkably reduced the local inflammatory response during acute peritoneal inflammation. Nevertheless, both Nos2-/- and Tnfr1/r2-/- MSC delivered similar effects compared to WT MSC, indicating the presence of other complementary mechanisms in MSC-mediated immunosuppression in vivo. In addition to their immunomodulatory properties, MSC are fundamental in regulating self-renewal and differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC). MSC protect HSC from potential damage by maintaining their quiescence. My results have revealed that the ability of MSC to enhance the quiescence of HSC was associated with cell-cycle arrest induced by NOS2. As striking parallels exist between the normal and malignant stem cell niche, I investigated the ability of MSC to protect haematopoietic malignant cells from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. MSC were observed to confer protection from etoposide-induced necrosis of EL4 cells, possibly due to their ability to suppress EL4 proliferation. Collectively, my results have demonstrated the role of MSC across the fields of immunomodulation, niche-supporting and anti-apoptotic effects.

description: Chemical autoencoders are attractive models as they combine chemical space navigation with possibilities for de-novo molecule generation in areas of interest. This enables them to produce focused chemical libraries around a single lead compound for employment early in a drug discovery project. Here it is shown that the choice of chemical representation, such as SMILES strings, has a large influence on the properties of the latent space. It is further explored to what extent translating between different chemical representations influences the latent space similarity to the SMILES strings or circular fingerprints. By employing SMILES enumeration for either the encoder or decoder, it is found that the decoder has the largest influence on the properties of the latent space. Training a sequence to sequence heteroencoder based on recurrent neural networks(RNNs) with long short-term memory cells (LSTM) to predict different enumerated SMILES strings from the same canonical SMILES string gives the largest similarity between latent space distance and molecular similarity measured as circular fingerprints similarity. Using the output from the bottleneck in QSAR modelling of five molecular datasets shows that heteroencoder derived vectors markedly outperforms autoencoder derived vectors as well as models built using ECFP4 fingerprints, underlining the increased chemical relevance of the latent space. However, the use of enumeration during training of the decoder leads to a markedly increase in the rate of decoding to a different molecules than encoded, a tendency that can be counteracted with more complex network architectures.

description: The variation in mean-square nuclear charge radius of xenon isotopes was measured utilizing a new method based on extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy of highly charged Na-like ions. The isotope shift of the Na-like D1 (3s $^{2}$S$_{1/2}$ - 3p $^2$P$_{1/2}$) transition between the $^{124}$Xe and $^{136}$Xe isotopes was experimentally determined using the electron beam ion trap facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The mass shift and the field shift coefficients were calculated with enhanced precision by relativistic many-body perturbation theory and multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method. The mean-square nuclear charge radius difference was found to be $δ^{136, 124}$ = 0.269(0.042) fm$^2$. Our result has smaller uncertainty than previous experimental results and agrees with the recommended value by Angeli and Marinova [I. Angeli and K. P. Marinova, At. Data and Nucl. Data Tables {\bf 99}, 69-95 (2013)].

description: The relativistic nuclear recoil corrections to the energy of the $2p_{\frac{3}{2}}$ state of hydrogen-like and the $(1s)^{2}2p_{\frac{3}{2}}$ state of high $Z$ lithium-like atoms in all orders in $αZ$ are calculated. The calculations are carried out using the B-spline method for the Dirac equation. For low $Z$ the results of the calculation are in good agreement with the $αZ$ -expansion results. It is found that the total nuclear recoil contribution to the energy of the $(1s)^{2}2p_{\frac{3}{2}}- (1s)^{2}2s$ transition in lithium-like uranium constitutes $-0.09\,eV$.

Finite-volume CFD modelling of fluid-solid interaction in EHL contacts
Creators: name: Hajishafiee, Alireza
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Classically in an elastohydrodynamic (EHD) problem, the Reynolds equation is the most widely used PDE to describe the behaviour of lubricants in high-pressure non-conforming contacts, and elastic deformation is usually calculated using the Hertzian theory of elastic contacts. This thesis outlines the development of a new method for modelling of fluid-solid interactions in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contact based on Finite Volume (FV) techniques. A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach to solve the Navier-Stokes equations is implemented to model lubrication in roller bearings using the open-source package OpenFOAM. This has first been applied to simulate full film hydrodynamic lubrication (HL), enabling an accurate description of the flow within the entire domain surrounding the contact region. The rheology is assumed to be non-Newtonian and shear-thinning. The phenomenon of cavitation is modelled by implementing a homogenous equilibrium cavitation model, which maintains specified lubricant saturation pressure in cavitating region. The current fluid solver involves the solution of the full momentum and energy equations, and satisfying continuity. The aim is firstly to demonstrate the range of applicability and the limitations of traditional formulations of the Reynolds equation and secondly to highlight areas where Navier-Stokes based approaches are necessary for accurate solution of lubrication problems. Subsequently, a finite volume solid solver is fully coupled with the fluid solver in a forward iterative manner to take into account elastic deflection effects using Navier-Lamé equation. The advantage of using a single numerical tool enables an internal transfer of information at the fluid-solid interface through one common data structure. The stability of the model, in the presence of high contact pressures, is enhanced by incorporation of multigrid method, implicit coupling and improved mesh adaption and motion techniques. The developed model has been applied to a series of lubricated metal on metal smooth line contact with slide to roll ratios ranging from 0 to 2 and is stable for a wide range of industrial operating conditions (pressures up to 4 GPa). The model is further improved to account for time-dependent transient behaviour of an EHL rough contact. The results for a travelling ridge, dent and sinusoidal wave through EHL conjunction are presented.
Characteristic length scales from entanglement dynamics in electric-field-driven tight-binding chains

description: We study entanglement dynamics in the nearest-neighbour fermionic chain that is subjected to both DC and AC electric fields. The dynamics gives the well known Bloch oscillations in the DC field case provided that the system size is larger than the Bloch length whereas in the AC field case the entropy is bounded and oscillates with the driving frequency at the points of dynamical localization, and has a logarithmic growth at other points. A combined AC + DC field yields super Bloch oscillations for the system size larger than the super Bloch length which puts a constraint on the device size in a typical non-equilibrium set-up to observe super Bloch oscillations where the device is connected to the leads. Entanglement entropy provides useful signatures for all of these phenomena, and an alternate way to capture the various length scales involved.

Estimating non-gaussianity in the microwave background

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The bispectrum of the microwave background sky is a possible discriminator between inflationary and defect models of structure formation in the Universe. The bispectrum, which is the analogue of the temperature 3-point correlation function in harmonic space, is zero for most inflationary models, but non-zero for non-gaussian models. The expected departures from zero are small, and easily masked by noise, so it is important to be able to estimate the bispectrum coefficients as accurately as possible, and to know the errors and correlations between the estimates so they may be used in combination as a diagnostic to rule out non-gaussian models. This paper presents a method for estimating in an unbiased way the bispectrum from a microwave background map in the near-gaussian limit. The method is optimal, in the sense that no other method can have smaller error bars, and in addition, the covariances between the bispectrum estimates are calculated explicitly. The method deals automatically with partial sky coverage and arbitrary noise correlations without modification. A preliminary application to the Cosmic Background Explorer 4-year dataset shows no evidence for non-gaussian behaviour.

description: Addressing the need to investigate how to embed learning theories into the interface, information architecture and content design of e-learning courseware, this research creates a method to develop “design for pedagogy patterns”, a language of design which helps designers place teaching and learning theories at the heart of e-learning design. It does this by developing a pattern-making tool – the “pattern pack” – which aids writers in the task of creating a design for pedagogy pattern. This paper illustrates a case study on the application of the pattern pack to develop a design for pedagogy pattern for an e-learning online forum. An evaluation of the patterns by an expert is included to discuss the quality of the patterns that can be created using this methodology.

description: Observations made with the University of Durham Mark 6 atmospheric Cerenkov telescope confirm that PSR B1706-44 is a very high energy gamma-ray emitter. There is no indication from our dataset that the very high energy gamma-rays are pulsed, in contrast to the findings at < 20 GeV, which indicate that more than 80% of the flux is pulsed. The flux at E > 300 GeV is estimated to be (3.9 +/- 0.7 (statistical)) x 10^-11 cm^-2 s^-1.
