title: Development and Characterization of Human Monoclonal Antibodies with Functional Activity against Plasmodium falciparum Merozoites
Creators: name: Ogwang, Rodney
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: The development of highly effective interventions against malaria remains a research priority. Individuals in endemic areas develop a non-sterilizing form of immunity, and antibodies are thought to play a key role. However, it remains unclear which specific antibodies and antibody-mediated mechanisms underpin protective immunity. I hypothesized that malaria semi-immune individuals carry unique antibody signatures vital for immunity. My overall aim was to isolate a panel of Plasmodium-specific human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and characterise their functional activity (neutrophil activation, opsonic-phagocytosis and complement fixation) against merozoites.

 To identify individuals making the kind of potent antibodies we can strive to emulate in vaccines and therapeutics, I conducted functional antibody screens in serum using established Fc-dependent effector functional assays. This enabled the selection of semi-immune individuals from different transmission settings with high levels of antibodies mediating opsonic-phagocytosis, neutrophil activation and complement fixation. Next, from these semi-immune individuals, I cloned the immunoglobulin variable genes from Plasmodium-specific B-cells into appropriate expression vectors and generated a panel of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with specificity to Plasmodium merozoites. To characterise these mAbs, I investigated the level of functional activity in vitro and evaluated Fc region modification for enhanced mAb potency. Finally, I identified the antibody cognate-interaction partners using a protein microarray approach.

 I demonstrated the impact of malaria transmission intensity on the level of functional antibodies and suggest the use of an immune score accounting for all effector functions to select uniquely immune individuals. I generated a panel of mAbs targeting merozoites and show differing levels of function in vitro. I also show that a cross-isotype “IgG/A” antibody can enhance mAb neutrophil activation potency. Overall, this work shows that our understanding of blood-stage immunity to malaria may be improved through the agnostic isolation and characterisation of merozoite-specific mAbs. This may inform the design of effective vaccines and immunotherapies.

description: Augustan Rome is the playground for life and loves of the elegists: they describe the contemporary Urbs, and from this point of view look back to the pastoral old city, in keeping with Augustan ideology, or foresee the eternity of Roman rule. Realistic pictures of slums are very rare, as well as criticism of sumptuous buildings. Finally Ovid from his exile looks back to the Urbs as a dream world. From Augustan elegy, european literature (Goethe, d’Annunzio) borrows this view of Rome as ideal setting for lovers.

The Deep Diffuse Extragalactic Radio Sky at 1.75 GHz

description: We present a study of diffuse extragalactic radio emission at $1.75\,$GHz from part of the ELAIS-S1 field using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The resulting mosaic is $2.46\,$deg$^2$, with a roughly constant noise region of $0.61\,$deg$^2$ used for analysis. The image has a beam size of $150 \times60\,$arcsec and instrumental $\langleσ_{\rm n}\rangle= (52\pm5)\, μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$. Using point-source models from the ATLAS survey, we subtract the discrete emission in this field for $S \ge 150\, μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$. Comparison of the source-subtracted probability distribution, or \pd, with the predicted distribution from unsubtracted discrete emission and noise, yields an excess of $(76 \pm 23) \, μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$. Taking this as an upper limit on any extended emission we constrain several models of extended source counts, assuming $Ω_{\rm source} \le 2\,$arcmin. The best-fitting models yield temperatures of the radio background from extended emission of $T_{\rm b}=(10\pm7) \,$mK, giving an upper limit on the total temperature at $1.75\,$GHz of $(73\pm10)\,$mK. Further modelling shows that our data are inconsistent with the reported excess temperature of ARCADE2 to a source-count limit of $1\, μ$Jy. Our new data close a loop-hole in the previous constraints, because of the possibility of extended emission being resolved out at higher resolution. Additionally, we look at a model of cluster halo emission and two WIMP dark matter annihilation source-count models, and discuss general constraints on any predicted counts from such sources. Finally, we report the derived integral count at $1.4\,$GHz using the deepest discrete count plus our new extended-emission limits, providing numbers that can be used for planning future ultra-deep surveys.

description: A category structure for Bratteli diagrams is proposed and a functor from the category of AF algebras to the category of Bratteli diagrams is constructed. Since isomorphism of Bratteli diagrams in this category coincides with Bratteli's notion of equivalence, we obtain in particular a functorial formulation of Bratteli's classification of AF algebras (and at the same time, of Glimm's classification of UHF algebras). It is shown that the three approaches to classification of AF algebras, namely, through Bratteli diagrams, K-theory, and abstract classifying categories, are essentially the same from a categorical point of view.

description: We study three proposals for broken symmetry in the cuprate pseudogap - oxygen antiferromagnetism, $Θ_{II}$ orbital loop currents, and circulating currents involving apex oxygens - through numerical exploration of multi-orbital Hubbard models. Our numerically exact results show no evidence for the existence of oxygen antiferromagnetic order or the $Θ_{II}$ phase in the three-orbital Hubbard model. The model also fails to sustain an ordered current pattern even with the presence of additional apex oxygen orbitals. We thereby conclude that it is difficult to stabilize the aforementioned phases in the multi-orbital Hubbard models for parameters relevant to cuprate superconductors. However, the $Θ_{II}$ phase might be stabilized through explicit flux terms. We find an enhanced propensity for circulating currents with such terms in calculations simulating applied stress or strain, which skew the copper-oxygen plane to resemble a kagome lattice. We propose an experimental viewpoint to shed additional light on this problem.

description: The energy scale of Dark Energy, $\sim 2 \times 10^{-3}$ eV, is a long way off compared to all known fundamental scales - except for the neutrino masses. If Dark Energy is dynamical and couples to neutrinos, this is no longer a coincidence. The time at which Dark Energy starts to behave as an effective cosmological constant can be linked to the time at which the cosmic neutrinos become nonrelativistic. This naturally places the onset of the Universe's accelerated expansion in recent cosmic history, addressing the why-now problem of Dark Energy. We show that these mechanisms indeed work in the Growing Neutrino Quintessence model - even if the fully nonlinear structure formation and backreaction are taken into account, which were previously suspected of spoiling the cosmological evolution. The attractive force between neutrinos arising from their coupling to Dark Energy grows as large as $10^6$ times the gravitational strength. This induces very rapid dynamics of neutrino fluctuations which are nonlinear at redshift $z \approx 2$. Nevertheless, a nonlinear stabilization phenomenon ensures only mildly nonlinear oscillating neutrino overdensities with a large-scale gravitational potential substantially smaller than that of cold dark matter perturbations. Depending on model parameters, the signals of large-scale neutrino lumps may render the cosmic neutrino background observable.

description: We provide a thorough theoretical analysis of qubit state measurement in a setup where a driven, parametrically-coupled cavity system is directly coupled to the qubit, with one of the cavities having a weak Kerr nonlinearity. Such a system could be readily realized using circuit QED architectures. We demonstrate that this setup is capable in the standard linear-response regime of both producing a highly amplified output signal while at the same time achieving near quantum-limited performance: the measurement backaction on the qubit is near the minimal amount required by the uncertainty principle. This setup thus represents a promising route for performing efficient large-gain qubit measurement that is completely on-chip, and that does not rely on the use of circulators or complex non-reciprocal amplifiers.

description: We consider properly discontinuous, isometric, convex cocompact actions of surface groups on a CAT(-1) space. We show that the limit set of such an action, equipped with the canonical visual metric, is a (weak) quasicircle in the sense of Falconer and Marsh. It follows that the visual metrics on such limit sets are classified, up to bi-Lipschitz equivalence, by their Hausdorff dimension. This result applies in particular to boundaries at infinity of the universal cover of a locally CAT(-1) surface. We show that any two periodic CAT(-1) metrics on $\mathbb H^2$ can be scaled so as to be almost-isometric (though in general, no equivariant almost-isometry exists). We also construct, on each higher genus surface, $k$-dimensional families of equal area Riemannian metrics, with the property that their lifts to the universal covers are pairwise almost-isometric but are not isometric to each other. Finally, we exhibit a gap phenomenon for the optimal multiplicative constant for a quasi-isometry between periodic CAT(-1) metrics on $\mathbb H^2$.

description: We study the dynamics of the Nambu-Goto membranes with cohomogeneity one symmetry, i.e., the membranes whose trajectories are foliated by homogeneous surfaces. It is shown that the equation of motion reduces to a geodesic equation on a certain manifold, which is constructed from the original spacetime and Killing vector fields thereon. A general method is presented for classifying the symmetry of cohomogeneity one membranes in a given spacetime. The classification is completely carried out in Minkowski spacetime. We analyze one of the obtained classes in depth and derive an exact solution.
Sugar-coating encapsulins: potential cancer immunotherapy and vaccine development
Creators: name: Goodson, Hayley
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Cancer vaccines are designed to re-program the immune system to recognise antigenic markers on cancer cells, resulting in their selective clearance. Aberrantly glycosylated versions of mucin-1 (MUC1) are overexpressed on many cancers. Specifically, the truncated O-linked glycan antigens Tn (GalNAc-α1-Ser/Thr), sTn (NeuAc- α -2,6-GalNAc), and Tf (Gal-β-1,3-GalNAc), that decorate tumour-associated MUC1 are promising targets for cancer vaccine development. However, glycan antigens can suffer from low immunogenicity, and must be combined with adjuvants and/or carriers to elicit sufficient immune responses for immunotherapy (e.g. antibody production). Here, we explore encapsulin (Enc) protein nanocages as carriers for glycosylated MUC1 variants. Encs can deliver peptide antigens and elicit both humoral and cellular immune responses in vivo; and their in vivo safety has been confirmed in our lab. To exploit Encs as antigen carriers, we first glycosylated a MUC1 tandem repeat region [APDTRPAPGSTAPPAHGVTS] with Tn, sTn and Tf antigens using specific glycosyltransferases, with glycosylation then determined by mass spectrometry. These MUC1 glycopeptides were attached to recombinantly produced and purified Encs, via strained alkyneazide copper-free “Click” chemistry and attachment was confirmed by Western blot with a Tn-specific antibody.
Fermionic dark matter with pseudo-scalar Yukawa interaction

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We consider a renormalizable extension of the standard model whose fermionic dark matter (DM) candidate interacts with a real singlet pseudo-scalar via a pseudo-scalar Yukawa term while we assume that the full Lagrangian is CP-conserved in the classical level. When the pseudo-scalar boson develops a non-zero vacuum expectation value, spontaneous CP-violation occurs and this provides a CP-violated interaction of the dark sector with the SM particles through mixing between the Higgs-like boson and the SM-like Higgs boson. This scenario suggests a minimal number of free parameters. Focusing mainly on the indirect detection observables, we calculate the dark matter annihilation cross section and then compute the DM relic density in the range up to $m_{\text{DM}} = 300$ GeV. We then find viable regions in the parameter space constrained by the observed DM relic abundance as well as invisible Higgs decay width in the light of 125 GeV Higgs discovery at the LHC. We find that within the constrained region of the parameter space, there exists a model with dark matter mass $m_{\text{DM}} \sim 38$ GeV annihilating predominantly into $b$ quarks, which can explain the Fermi-LAT galactic gamma-ray excess.

description: We present a study of the 2014 January 6 solar energetic particle (SEP) event, which produced a small ground level enhancement (GLE), making it the second GLE of this unusual solar cycle 24. This event was primarily observed by the South Pole neutron monitors (increase of ~2.5%) whereas a few other neutron monitors recorded smaller increases. The associated coronal mass ejection (CME) originated behind the western limb and had the speed of 1960 km/s. The height of the CME at the start of the associated metric type II radio burst, which indicates the formation of a strong shock, was measured to be 1.61 Rs using a direct image from STEREO-A/EUVI. The CME height at the time of GLE particle release (determined using the South Pole neutron monitor data) was directly measured as 2.96 Rs, from the STEREO-A/COR1 white-light observations. These CME heights are consistent with those obtained for the GLE71, the only other GLE of the current cycle as well as cycle-23 GLEs derived using back-extrapolation. GLE72 is of special interest because it is one of the only two GLEs of cycle 24, one of the two behind-the-limb GLEs and one of the two smallest GLEs of cycles 23 and 24.

description: It is widely believed that anisotropy in the expansion of the universe will decay exponentially fast during inflation. This is often referred to as the cosmic no-hair conjecture. However, we find a counter example to the cosmic no-hair conjecture in the context of supergravity. As a demonstration, we present an exact anisotropic power-law inflationary solution which is an attractor in the phase space. We emphasize that anisotropic inflation is quite generic in the presence of anisotropic sources which couple with an inflaton.

Electronic structure of non-centrosymmetric superconductors Re24(Nb;Ti)5 by ab initio calculations

description: Electronic structures of superconducting Re24Nb5 and Re24Ti5 have been calculated employing the full-potential local-orbital method within the density functional theory. The investigations were focused on the influence of the antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling on band structures and Fermi surfaces of these non-centrosymmetric systems. The predicted here density of states at the Fermi level for Re24Ti5 is abnormally low with respect to that deduced from previous heat capacity measurements. This discrepancy suggests an intermediate coupled superconducting state in Re24Ti5. The differences between electronic properties of both compounds could explain more robust superconductivity in the Nb-based material.

urban sustainability

description: The issue of improving accessibility to urban services continues to receive greater attention in the scientific and political debate to realize livable urban spaces and streets that can be travelled on foot and by bicycle with the aim of encouraging active mobility and increasing built environment quality. The transition path that is being carried out today is to aim for a model of the city accessible in 15 minutes, proving to be one of the most discussed topics in urban planning, both in practice and in the academic world. The 15-Minute City approach is based on concepts of equity and proximity that aim to reach all essential services within one's neighborhood for any user, reducing social inequalities. In turn, the idea may be utopian, but how feasible given that some cities have already been planned to meet this requirement. This new way of thinking about the city leads to rethinking the space-time organization of mobility networks and the distribution of daily activities based on urban asset. The scientific and political debate in recent years has questioned the desire to investigate, on the one hand, which urban characteristics it is necessary to intervene in and, on the other one, to analyze and measure which cities meet the ±15-Minute City requirements in terms of accessibility urban. The city of X minute cities questions, first, the territorial distribution of essential services and its relative mixed land use, which has always been a planning problem and remains unresolved in most cities, affecting people's well-being. Secondly, the improvement of sustainable mobility networks and accessibility in relation to the built environment and its open spaces. At the same time, it must be recognized that cities start from different levels in terms of propensity and susceptibility to transformation both in terms of sustainable mobility and the distribution model of neighbourhood services. In that direction, this work is oriented to compare the areas accessible in 15 minutes of cities characterized by different functional, socio-economic and settlement characteristics. three international case studies (Naples, London and Aberdeen) are investigated by comparing spatial analysis techniques related to proximity and network. The results show the measure of the levels of accessibility to essential services at the neighbourhood level by identifying the areas that have a gap in terms of supply and demand.
Cosmic Matter Flux May Turn Hawking Radiation Off

description: An astrophysical (cosmological) black hole forming in a cosmological context will be subject to a flux of infalling matter and radiation, which will cause the outer apparent horizon (a marginal trapping surface) to be spacelike \cite{ellisetal14}. As a consequence the radiation emitted close to the apparent horizon no longer arrives at infinity with a diverging redshift. Standard calculations of the emission of Hawking radiation then indicate that no blackbody radiation is emitted to infinity by the black hole in these circumstances, hence there will also then be no black hole evaporation process due to emission of such radiation as long as the matter flux is significant. The essential adiabatic condition (eikonal approximation) for black hole radiation gives a strong limit to the black holes that can emit Hawking radiation. We give the mass range for the black holes that can radiate, according to their cosmological redshift, for the special case of the cosmic blackbody radiation (CBR) influx (which exists everywhere in the universe). At a very late stage of black hole formation when the CBR influx decays away, the black hole horizon becomes first a slowly evolving horizon and then an isolated horizon; at that stage, black hole radiation will start. This study suggests that the primordial black hole evaporation scenario should be revised to take these considerations into account.

Role of impact ionization in the thermalization of photo-excited Mott insulators

description: We study the influence of the pulse energy and fluence on the thermalization of photo-doped Mott insulators. If the Mott gap is smaller than the width of the Hubbard bands, the kinetic energy of individual carriers can be large enough to produce doublon-hole pairs via a process analogous to impact ionization. The thermalization dynamics, which involves an adjustment of the doublon and hole densities, thus changes as a function of the energy of the photo-doped carriers and exhibits two timescales -- a fast relaxation related to impact ionization and a slower timescale associated with higher-order scattering processes. The slow dynamics depends more strongly on the gap size and the photo-doping concentration.
Continuum quasiparticle random phase approximation for astrophysical direct neutron capture reaction of neutron-rich nuclei

description: We formulate a many-body theory to calculate the cross section of direct radiative neutron capture reaction by means of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean-field model and the continuum quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA). A focus is put on very neutron-rich nuclei and low-energy neutron kinetic energy in the range of O(1 keV) - O(1 MeV), relevant for the rapid neutron-capture process of nucleosynthesis. We begin with the photo-absorption cross section and the E1 strength function, then, in order to apply the reciprocity theorem, we decompose the cross section into partial cross sections corresponding to different channels of one- and two-neutron emission decays of photo-excited states. Numerical example is shown for the photo-absorption of $^{142}$Sn and the neutron capture of $^{141}$Sn.

Furthermore, as an outcome of observation, a type of personality that may reap the most benefit and what areas are suitable for online hypnotherapy had to be proposed. Hypnosis, the main tool in hypnotherapy, suggests creating a perceptive conscious mind. Hypnotherapy online may have technical and psychological limitations. Some associations even discourage performing induction online. It will therefore be useful to determine the criteria for online hypnotherapy, and the criteria will need further discussion. The goal is not to reject the option of hypnotherapy online, but to find a solution that will be most effective in terms of circumstances.

description: We construct the join of noncommutative Galois objects (quantum torsors) over a Hopf algebra H. To ensure that the join algebra enjoys the natural (diagonal) coaction of H, we braid the tensor product of the Galois objects. Then we show that this coaction is principal. Our examples are built from the noncommutative torus with the natural free action of the classical torus, and arbitrary anti-Drinfeld doubles of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras. The former yields a noncommutative deformation of a non-trivial torus bundle, and the latter a finite quantum covering.

description: The results of ultra-high vacuum low-temperature scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) of atomically clean (111) surface of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ are presented. We observed several types of new subsurface defects whose location and charge correspond to p-type conduction of grown crystals. The sign of the thermoelectric effect also indicates p-type conduction. STM and STS measurements demonstrate that the chemical potential is always located inside the bulk band gap. We also observed changes in the local density of states in the vicinity of the quintuple layer steps at the studied surface. This changes correspond either to the shift of the Dirac cone position or to the shift of the chemical potential near the step edge.

The Origin of the Metal-Poor Common Proper Motion Pair HD 134439/134440: Insights from New Elemental Abundances

description: The low [alpha/Fe] ratio in the metal-poor ([Fe/H]= -1.50) common proper motion pair HD 134439 and HD 134440 has been variously attributed to chemical evolution in an extragalactic environment with an irregular star formation history, planetessimal accretion, and formation in an environment with an unusually high dust-to-gas ratio. We explore these various putative origins using CNO, Be, Ag, and Eu abundances derived from high-resolution near-UV Keck/HIRES spectroscopy. While we confirm a previously suggested correlation between elemental abundance ratios and condensation temperature at the 95% confidence level, these ratios lie within the continuum of values manifested by extant dSph data. We argue that the most plausible origin of our stars' distinctive abundance distribution relative to the Galactic halo field is formation in an environment chemically dominated by products of Type II SN of low progenitor mass; such a progenitor mass bias has been previously suggested as an explanation of low alpha-element ratios of dSph stars. The proper motion pair's heavy-to-light $n$-capture element ratio, which is > 0.3-0.5 dex lower than in the Galactic halo field and dSph stars, is discussed in the context of the truncated r-process, phenomenlogical n-capture production models, and alpha-rich freezeout in a high neutron excess environment; the latter simultaneously provides an attractive explanation of the difference in [Ca,Ti/O,Mg,Si] ratio in HD 134439/134440 compared to in situ dSph stars.

Strong Orientation Dependence of Multinucleon Transfer Processes in $^{238}$U+$^{124}$Sn Reaction

description: We theoretically investigate multinucleon transfer (MNT) processes in $^{238}$U+$^{124}$Sn reaction at $E_\mathrm{lab}=5.7$ MeV/$A$ using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. For this reaction, measurements of MNT processes have been reported, showing substantial MNT cross sections accompanying more than ten protons. From the calculation, we find that the amount of transferred nucleons depends much on the relative orientation between the deformation axis of $^{238}$U and the relative vector connecting centers of $^{238}$U and $^{124}$Sn nuclei. We find a formation of thick neck when the $^{238}$U collides from its tip with $^{124}$Sn. However, the neck formation is substantially suppressed when $^{238}$U collides from its side. We have found that a large number of protons are transferred in the tip collision. This is caused by the breaking of the neck and subsequent absorption of nucleons in the neck region. We thus conclude that the measured MNT processes involving about ten protons originate from the neck breaking dynamics in the tip collisions of a deformed $^{238}$U nucleus.

Manifestations of the Galactic Center Magnetic Field

description: Several independent lines of evidence reveal that a relatively strong and highly ordered magnetic field is present throughout the Galaxy's central molecular zone (CMZ). The field within dense clouds of the central molecular zone is predominantly parallel to the Galactic plane, probably as a result of the strong tidal shear in that region. A second magnetic field system is present outside of clouds, manifested primarily by a population of vertical, synchrotron-emitting filamentary features aligned with the field. Whether or not the strong vertical field is uniform throughout the CMZ remains undetermined, but is a key central issue for the overall energetics and the impact of the field on the Galactic center arena. The interactions between the two field systems are considered, as they are likely to drive some of the activity within the CMZ. As a proxy for other gas-rich galaxies in the local group and beyond, the Galactic center region reveals that magnetic fields are likely to be an important diagnostic, if not also a collimator, of the flow of winds and energetic particles out of the nucleus.

description: Dysphagia is frequent in many neurological diseases and gives rise to severe complications such as malnutrition, dehydration and aspiration pneumonia. Therefore, early detection and management of dysphagia is essential and can reduce mortality. This study investigated the effect of cognitive and motor dual-task interference on swallowing in healthy participants, as dual-task effects are reported for other motor tasks such as gait and speech. 27 participants (17 females; 29.2 ± 4.1 years) were included in this prospective study and examined using flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Using a previously established FEES-based score, the paradigms "baseline swallowing", "cognitive dual-task" and "motor dual-task" were assessed. Scores of the three paradigms were compared using a repetitive measures ANOVA and post-hoc analysis. Mean baseline swallowing score in single task was 5 ± 3. It worsened to 6 ± 5 in the cognitive (p = 0.118), and to 8 ± 5 in the motor dualtask condition (p < 0.001). This change was driven by subclinical worsening of premature bolus spillage and pharyngeal residue. Oropharyngeal swallowing is not exclusively reflexive in nature but requires attention, which leads to motor dual-task interference. This has potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications, e.g. in the early screening for dysphagia or in avoiding dual-task situations while eating.

description: We show that pure strongly continuous semigroups of adjointable isometries on a Hilbert C*-module are standard right shifts. By counter examples, we illustrate that the analogy of this result with the classical result on Hilbert spaces by Sz.-Nagy, cannot be improved further to understand arbitrary isometry semigroups of isometries in the classical way.
