description: Le REseau de surveillance BENThique, le REBENT, a pour objectifs d'acquérir une connaissance pertinente et cohérente des habitats benthiques côtiers, et de constituer un système de veille pour détecter les évolutions de ces habitats, à moyen et long termes, notamment pour ce qui concerne la diversité biologique.La Bretagne constitue la région Pilote. Sur cette région, après une phase d'avant-projet (2001-2002), la stratégie opérationnelle mise en oeuvre de 2003 à 2014 englobait un inventaire régional d'habitats, des cartographies des habitats sur des secteurs de référence, le suivi de la dynamique spatiale du couvert végétal et le suivi de la diversité végétale et animale. Depuis 2015, le REBENT poursuit une surveillance exclusivement stationnelle, le volet cartographique ayant été stoppé fin 2014 ; les partenaires du REBENT sont donc désormais uniquement l'UBO et les stations marines de Roscoff et de Concarneau.Les suivis de la biodiversité ont été mis en place sur une sélection d'habitats comprenant des habitats remarquables et des habitats largement représentés : dans la zone de balancement des marées, ils concernent en particulier les sédiments fins, les herbiers et certains types de zones rocheuses ; dans les petits fonds, il s'agit des sables fins, des bancs de maërl et des fonds rocheux subtidaux rocheux. Chaque habitat est placé sous la responsabilité thématique d'un laboratoire, il est échantillonné régulièrement, selon un protocole adapté dans des lieux de surveillance répartis le long du littoral. A partir de 2007, la stratégie d'échantillonnage retenue pour les sables fins subtidaux tient compte des contraintes définies pour le contrôle de surveillance DCE.Les principaux objectifs du REseau BENThique sont : détecter les changements à moyen et long terme des écosystèmes benthiques côtiers, que ces changements soient d'origine naturelle, anthropique ou accidentelle, caractériser ces changements qualitativement (peuplements, groupes d'espèces, espèces) et quantitativement (en termes d'abondance), contribuer à expliquer ces changements en considérant les parts relatives de la variabilité naturelle et/ou anthropique d'origine locale, régionale ou globale.Pour atteindre ces objectifs, quatorze sites pour les sables fins et huit sites pour le maerl, représentatifs de ces habitats le long du littoral breton, sont ainsi suivis annuellement selon un plan d'échantillonnage hiérarchisé. Pour chaque site, 3 stations distantes de 200-300 sont prises en considération et 4 réplicats sont récoltés à chaque station.Ces campagnes ont également permis de récupérer des échantillons de macrofaune utilisables pour d'autres travaux d'écologie (i.e. isotopes).

description: The influence of the nuclear medium upon the internal structure of a composite nucleon is examined. The interaction with the medium is assumed to depend on the relative distances between the quarks in the nucleon consistent with the notion of color neutrality, and to be proportional to the nucleon density. In the resulting description the nucleon in matter is a superposition of the ground state (free nucleon) and radial excitations. The effects of the nuclear medium on the electromagnetic and weak nucleon form factors, and the nucleon structure function are computed using a light-front constituent quark model. Further experimental consequences are examined by considering the electromagnetic nuclear response functions. The effects of color neutrality supply small but significant corrections to predictions of observables.

Studies on the control of Dubas bug, Ommatissus lybicus DeBergevin (Homoptera: Tropiduchidae), a major pest of Date Palm in the Sultanate of Oman

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L. Family: Arecaceae; sub-family: Poaceae) is thought to be the oldest fruit tree grown in the Sultanate of Oman and is a major crop in terms of the number of trees and their distribution. Dates are widely considered to be a strategic source of food security as well as an important cash crop, and have always been looked upon as a key source of stability for oasis agro-ecosystems. Several insect and mite pests and plant pathogens attack Date Palm trees. The Dubas bug, Ommatissus lybicus DeBergevin (Homoptera: Tropiduchidae), has been considered the key pest of Date Palm plantations in Oman for 40 years due to the total area infested, the severity of infestations and the scale of the crop losses. Current control programmes for Dubas bug are reliant on chemical pesticides, applied by air and from the ground over an area ranging from 12,000 – 20,000 ha annually. These pesticides are currently the only feasible control measure against this pest, although research is underway on bio-control technologies. The cropping environment resulting from traditional Date Palm cultivation - high planting density, high temperature and humidity, topography of the plantations, intercropping and variability in cultivars and plant height - has an influence on pest and disease incidence and also affects the control options available. The present research attempts to determine the effects of technical, environmental and biological factors on the control of Dubas Bug in order to develop a more integrated control strategy. Data have emerged from this study on: 1) optimal spray droplet spectrum and application rates for improved coverage and placement of spray deposits, including under leaf deposition; 2) information on how Dubas bug daily movement can influence control efficacy; 3) on the selective use of insecticides against Dubas bug at economic threshold levels as a supplement to other IPM methods, including cultural practices such as thinning to maintain optimal distances between trees, irrigation management, the removal of old leaves including pruning cuts and surrounding tissues that may support and harbour Dubas bug.

description: A recent suggestion [PLB 774 (2017) 522] that purely-$Λ^{\ast}(1405)$ nuclei provide the absolute minimum energy in charge-neutral baryon matter for baryon-number $A\gtrsim 8$, is tested within RMF calculations. A broad range of $Λ^{\ast}$ interaction strengths, commensurate with $(\bar K \bar K NN)_{I=0}$ binding energy assumed to be of order 100 MeV, is scanned. It is found that the binding energy per $Λ^{\ast}$, $B/A$, saturates for $A\gtrsim 120$ with values of $B/A$ considerably below 100 MeV, implying that $Λ^{\ast}(1405)$ matter is highly unstable against strong decay to $Λ$ and $Σ$ hyperon aggregates. The central density of $Λ^{\ast}$ matter is found to saturate as well, at roughly twice nuclear matter density. Moreover, it is shown that the underlying very strong $\bar K N$ potentials, fitted for isospin $I=0$ to the mass and width values of $Λ^{\ast}(1405)$, fail to reproduce values of single-nucleon absorption fractions deduced across the periodic table from $K^-$ capture-at-rest bubble chamber experiments.

A study of CArdiac Physiology in severely MALnourished children CAPMAL Study
Creators: name: Brent, Bernadette E.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Background Case fatality in African children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) remains high despite implementation of WHO management guidelines. Many deaths occur suddenly and unexpectedly leading to speculation about sudden cardiac death. Fluid therapy remains controversial since SAM children are thought to be at high risk of cardiac failure. The evidence base for these recommendations is limited. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on cardiac function in severe malnutrition, and a comprehensive prospective observational study of Cardiac Physiology in Malnutrition (The CAPMAL Study). Methods Eighty-eight hospitalised Kenyan children with SAM were prospectively recruited and a detailed cardiovascular profiling including clinical, biochemical, echocardiographic and electrocardiographic assessment at admission, during nutritional rehabilitation, and at 28-day follow-up was undertaken. The findings were compared with a group of non- malnourished hospital controls (n=22), frequency matched by age, gender and presenting clinical syndrome. Results Little evidence was found of clinically significant cardiac failure among children with SAM, including those who received intravenous fluids. Echocardiography indicated that cardiac dysfunction was common but typically associated with underlying comorbidities such as sepsis and HIV. We also found increased SVRI, which was negatively correlated with the severity of malnutrition. We did not find strong evidence that children with SAM were more likely to have cardiac dysfunction or arrhythmias than matched controls, or that the cardiovascular profile of marasmus differed from kwashiorkor. Conclusions Clinical cardiac failure and sudden death from arrhythmias were not common among children in our study. The appropriate physiological response observed to IV fluids suggests they may be better tolerated than current guidelines suggest. Further studies are urgently needed to define optimal IV fluid regimens for children with SAM and shock and to investigate the role of increased systemic vascular resistance on gut perfusion and myocardial wall stress.
Evolution of the near-infrared luminosity function in rich galaxy clusters

description: We present the K-band (2.2 microns) luminosity functions of the X-ray luminous clusters MS1054-0321 (z=0.82), MS0451-0305 (z=0.55), Abell 963 (z=0.206), Abell 665 (z=0.182) and Abell 1795 (z=0.063) down to absolute magnitudes M_K = -20. Our measurements probe fainte absolute magnitudes than do any previous studies of the near-infrared luminosity function of clusters. All clusters are found to have similar luminosity functions within the errors, when the galaxy populations are evolved to redshift $z=0$. It iw known that the most massive bound systems in the Universe at all redshifts are X-ray luminous clusters. Therefore, assuming that the clusters in our sample correspond to a single population seen at different redshifts, the results here imply that not only had the stars in present-day ellipticals in rich clusters formed by z=0.8, but that they existed in as luminous galaxies then as they do today. Additionally, the clusters have K-band luminosity functions which appear to be consistent with the Kband field luminosity function in the range -24 < M_K < -22, although the uncertainties in both the field and cluster samples are large.

Transmission electron microscopy of titanium dioxide nanoplatelets and nanorods
Creators: name: Liberti, Emanuela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: As the size of the bulk crystal reduces to the nanometre scale, anatase titania exhibits enhanced photocatalytic properties. Nanostructuring of TiO2 involves engineering the crystal facets in a way that speci c types of surfaces dominate the 3D shape. The atomic structure of the surfaces and 3D morphology of the crystal determine the electronic properties of the material, and should be characterized with atomic precision. Due to its high spatial resolution (0.1 nm), aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy was used to obtain morphological and structural information on anatase nanoplatelets and nanorods. TEM morphological analysis showed that the main 3D shape of the platelets is that of a truncated tetragonal bipyramid, where f001g facets dominate. This 3D shape is accessible via 2D projections of the crystal structure. In the nanorod specimens, the types of edge morphology found link to intermediate or nal stages of growth, occurred via oriented attachment of primary nanocrystals and classical monomer addition. The structural characterization of the nanocrystals was carried out by examining the exit plane wave of the specimen, which was reconstructed from a serial acquisition of aberration-corrected TEM images of di erent defocus. The phase of the reconstructed wave reproduces the atomic potential of the specimen, and provides information with the maximum resolution of the microscope. The optical properties of the platelets and rods were also analysed using a combination of STEM imaging and EELS. Due to the high surface to volume ratio of the platelets, the EELS spectrum is dominated by strong surface features that arise from the polarization of the surface electrons induced by the electron beam. The in uence of the surface excitations on the EELS spectrum is strongly determined by the thickness of the platelets: by modifying the crystal thickness below 20 nm, the frequency of the surface excitations changes, enabling the optical properties of titania to be tuned in the visible and UV range. Finally, preliminary EELS investigations on the nanorods suggest that, unlike metallic nanoparticles, the surface excitations are not in uenced by the morphology of the crystal, but strongly depend on its thickness.
Modelling of turbulent gas-solid flows from DNS to LES
Creators: name: Mallouppas, George
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this thesis is to explain the underlying physics of turbulent particle­ laden flows in the context of Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). Moreover , mod­ elling tools, that can be used in Large Eddy Simulations (LES), are developed and validated against experimental and DNS data. DNS of homogenous and isotropic turbulence are performed in order to explain the turbulence modulation caused by the particles. In order to carry out this analysis, a novel forcing method is developed that retains the statistics of the fluid. Contrary to other forcing schemes, it is shown that this scheme does not affect the statistics of both phases. The two-way coupling spectrum reveals that the particles transfer energy from the large to the small scales, whereby some of this energy is dissipated by the fluid. Additionally, a model two-way coupling spectrum is proposed that considers the observations of the DNS study. Filtering is performed on the DNS results in order to remove the high frequency velocity components. It is evident from the results that the absence of the subgrid velocity fluctuations have an impact on the particle pair dispersion. Moreover , a novel stochastic model is proposed which reconstructs the subgrid scale turbulence characteristics. The results of the model are very promising as there is good agree­ ment with the DNS data. LES of a turbulent horizontal particle-laden channel flow is performed in order to compare the soft-sphere and hard-sphere models and coupling strategies. A novel roughness model, used in conjunction with the soft-sphere model, is proposed. The results of the soft sphere and hard sphere models are in very good agreement with the available experimental data. Furthermore, the results, also, show that the wall roughness is an important mechanism in keeping the particles distributed across the channel despite the action of gravity.
Cooling Rate for Microbunched Electron Cooling without Amplification

description: The Microbunched Electron Cooling (MBEC) proposed by D. Ratner is a promising cooling technique that can find applications in future hadron and electron-ion colliders. In this paper, we develop a new framework for the study of MBEC which is based on the analysis of the dynamics of microscopic 1D fluctuations in the electron and hadron beams during their interaction and propagation through the system. Within this framework, we derive an analytical formula for the cooling rate and benchmark it against 1D computer simulations with a agreement between the analytical and numerical results. We then calculate the expecting cooling time for a set of parameters of the proposed electron-ion collider eRHIC in a simple cooling system with one chicane in the electron channel. While the cooling rate in this system turns out to be insufficient to counteract the intra-beam scattering in the proton beam, we discuss how the electron signal can be amplified by two orders of magnitude through the use of plasma effects in the beam.

description: We show the $H^1$ stability of shear flows of Prandtl type: $U^ν= (U_s(y/\sqrtν),0)$, in the steady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, under the natural assumptions that $U_s(Y) > 0$ for $Y > 0$, $U_s(0) = 0$, and $U_s'(0) > 0$. Our result is in sharp contrast with the unsteady ones, in which at most Gevrey stability can be obtained, even under global monotonicity and concavity hypotheses. It provides the first positive answer to the inviscid limit problem in Sobolev regularity for a non-trivial class of steady Navier-Stokes flows with no-slip boundary condition.

Quantitative imaging in epilepsy (PET)
Creators: name: McGinnity, Colm Joseph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Introduction Epilepsy is a heterogeneous collection of neurological diseases characterised clinically by recurrent seizures. Pre-clinical models implicate derangements in ligand-gated receptor-mediated neurotransmission in seizure generation and termination. In this thesis, the author quantified activated N-methyl D-aspartate- and opioid peptide receptor availability in adults with focal epilepsy. Methods This thesis consists of three positron emission tomography (PET) studies of adults with focal epilepsy, using [18F]GE-179 (activated NMDA receptors) and [11C]diprenorphine (DPN; opioid receptors) radioligands. A novel resolution-recovery technique, Structural Functional Synergistic – Resolution Recovery (SFS-RR), was applied to pre-existing paired [11C]DPN PET datasets acquired from adults with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Activated NMDA receptor availability was quantified in adults with frequent interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs), by regional compartmental modelling and model-free voxelwise analyses. Statistical parametric mapping was used to identify significant differences in volumes-of-distribution (VT) between populations. Results [18F]GE-179 had good brain extraction with a relatively homogeneous distribution and moderately-paced kinetics in grey matter. The two brain compartments, four rate-constants model best described the radioligand’s kinetics in grey matter. Global increases in [18F]GE-179 VT were seen for seven of 11 participants with frequent IEDs. Focal increases in [18F]GE-179 VT of up to nearly 24% were also identified for three of the 11 participants. A post-ictal increase in [11C]DPN VT was identified in the ipsilateral parahippocampal gyrus. Discussion This first-in-man evaluation of [18F]GE-179 evidenced several properties that are desirable in PET radioligands, but the specificity of binding requires further characterisation. The results suggest focal increases in activated NMDA receptor availability in participants with refractory focal epilepsy, and also post-ictal increases in opioid peptide availability in the parahippocampal gyrus in TLE. Both findings may have pathophysiological relevance, and illustrate the potential of quantitative ligand PET with advanced post-processing to investigate changes in inhibitory and excitatory receptor systems in the epilepsies in vivo.

Active variable geometry suspension for cars
Creators: name: Arana Remirez, Carlos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis investigates the characteristics and performance of a new type of active suspension for cars through modelling, simulation, control design and experimental testing. The Series Active Variable Geometry Suspension (SAVGS) concept is first put in context by reviewing the history and current trends in automotive suspensions. Its potential is then critically evaluated and work is carried out to maximise its performance for various suspension functions. A multi-model multi-software modelling and simulation approach is followed throughout the thesis in order to cross-check and substantiate simulation results in the absence of experimental data. The simpler linear models are used to inform the selection of suitable parameter sets for the case studies, to synthesise control systems and to qualitatively validate the more complex, nonlinear multi-body models. The latter are developed as a platform to virtually test the system and its control algorithms. When possible, these tests are based on standard open-loop test manoeuvres and on standardised external disturbances. The SAVGS-retrofitted suspension displays a very nonlinear behaviour, which is at the same time a liability and an opportunity from the point of view of control. Nevertheless, different linear control techniques are effectively applied to improve various suspension functions: PIDs are applied to the lower frequency suspension functions such as mitigation of chassis attitude motions, and the H∞ framework is applied to the higher frequency suspension functions such as comfort and road holding enhancement. In all cases, a cascade control approach is employed, and mechanisms are implemented to ensure that physical and design actuator constraints are always respected. This thesis also covers the design and construction of a quarter-car experimental test rig facility. Step-by-step recommendations for its refinement as well as a testing plan are also outlined.
Soft two-meson-exchange nucleon-nucleon potentials. II. One-pair and two-pair diagrams

description: Two-meson-exchange nucleon-nucleon potentials are derived where either one or both nucleons contains a pair vertex. Physically, the meson-pair vertices are meant to describe in an effective way (part of) the effects of heavy-meson exchange and meson-nucleon resonances. {}From the point of view of ``duality,'' these two kinds of contribution are roughly equivalent. The various possibilities for meson pairs coupling to the nucleon are inspired by the chiral-invariant phenomenological Lagrangians that have appeared in the literature. The coupling constants are fixed using the linear $σ$ model. We show that the inclusion of these two-meson exchanges gives a significant improvement over a potential model including only the standard one-boson exchanges.

description: We introduce a new technique for following the formation and evolution of galaxies in cosmological N-body simulations. Dissipationless simulations are used to track the formation and merging of dark matter halos as a function of redshift. Simple prescriptions, taken directly from semi-analytic models of galaxy formation, are adopted for cooling, star formation, supernova feedback and the merging of galaxies within the halos. This scheme enables us to study the clustering properties of galaxies and to investigate how selection by type, colour or luminosity influences the results. In this paper, we study properties of the galaxy distribution at z=0. These include luminosity functions, colours, correlation functions, pairwise peculiar velocities, cluster M/L ratios and star formation rates. We focus on two variants of a CDM cosmology: a high- density model with Gamma=0.21 (TCDM) and a low-density model with Omega=0.3 and Lambda=0.7 (LCDM). Both are normalized to reproduce the I-band Tully-Fisher relation near a circular velocity of 220 km/s. Our results depend strongly both on this normalization and on the prescriptions for star formation and feedback. Very different assumptions are required to obtain an acceptable model in the two cases. For TCDM, efficient feedback is required to suppress the growth of galaxies low-mass field halos. Without it, there are too many galaxies and the correlation function turns over below 1 Mpc. For LCDM, feedback must be weak, otherwise too few L* galaxies are produced and the correlation function is too steep. Given the uncertainties in modelling some of the key physical processes, we conclude that it is not yet possible to draw conclusions about the values of cosmological parameters from studies of this kind. Further work on global star formation and feedback effects is required to narrow the range of possibilities

description: The stellar population of the Pegasus dwarf irregular galaxy is investigated in images taken in the F439W (B), F555W (V), and F814W (I) bands with WFPC2. These and ground-based data are combined to produce color-magnitude diagrams which show the complex nature of the stellar population in this small galaxy. A young (< 0.5 Gyr) main sequence stellar component is present and clustered in two centrally-located clumps, while older stars form a more extended disk or halo. The colors of the main sequence require a relatively large extinction of A_V = 0.47 mag. The mean color of the well-populated red giant branch is relatively blue, consistent with a moderate metallicity young, or older, metal-poor stellar population. The red giant branch also has significant width in color, implying a range of stellar ages and/or metallicities. A small number of extended asymptotic giant branch stars are found beyond the red giant branch tip. Near the faint limits of our data is a populous red clump superimposed on the red giant branch. Efforts to fit self-consistent stellar population models based on the Geneva stellar evolution tracks yield a revised distance of 760 kpc. Quantitative fits to the stellar population are explored as a means to constrain the star formation history. The numbers of main sequence and core helium-burning blue loop stars require that the star formation rate was higher in the recent past, by a factor of 3-4 about 1 Gyr ago. Unique results cannot be obtained for the star formation history over longer time baselines without better information on stellar metallicities and deeper photometry. The youngest model consistent with the data contains stars with constant metallicity of Z = 0.001 which mainly formed 2-4 Gyr ago. Even at its peak of star forming activity, the Pegasus dwarf most likely remained relatively dim with M_V ~ -14.

description: In this work we study properties of neutron star crusts, where matter is expected to consist of nuclei surrounded by superfluid neutrons and a homogeneous background of relativistic electrons. The nuclei are disposed in a Coulomb lattice, and it is believed that the structure of the lattice influences considerably the specific heat of the neutronic matter inside the crust of a neutron star. Using a modern meson--exchange potential in the framework of a local--density approximation we calculate the neutronic specific heat accounting for various shapes of the Coulomb lattice, from spherical to non--spherical nuclear shapes. We find that a realistic nucleon--nucleon potential leads to a significant increase in the neutronic specific heat with respect to that obtained assuming a uniform neutron distribution. The increase is largest for the non--spherical phase of the crust. These results may have consequences for the thermal history of young neutron stars.

description: We analyse shapes of overdense regions (clusters and superclusters) in controlled N-body simulations of gravitational clustering with power law initial spectra P(k) \propto k^n, n = -3, -2, -1, 0. At values of the density just above the percolation transition the number of distinct (isolated) clusters peaks and we use this `natural threshold' to study the shapes and multiplicity function of clusters and superclusters. We find that the extent of both filamentarity and pancakeness increases as the simulation evolves, the former being appreciably larger than the latter at virtually all epochs and for all spectra considered by us. Our results also show that high density regions within very massive clusters/superclusters are likely to be noticeably filamentary or pancake/ribbon-like when compared to the less dense regions within these objects. We make a detailed study of two, moment-based `shape statistics' proposed, respectively, by Babul & Starkman (BS) and Luo & Vishniac (LV) and find that both LV and BS have certain built-in limitations: LV is biased towards oblate structures and tends to overemphasise this property; neither BS nor LV correctly describe the shape of strongly curved or topologically nontrivial objects. For instance, a thin filamentary torus and a ribbon are both described by BS and LV as being pancakes ! By contrast Shapefinders, a new shape diagnostic not constructed from density moments but from Minskowski functionals, does not suffer from these limitations and appears to faithfully reproduce the shapes of both simple and topologically complex objects.

description: We present a method of determining lower limits on the masses of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars and so constraining the PMS evolutionary tracks. This method uses the red-shifted absorption feature observed in some emission-line profiles of T Tauri stars indicative of infall. The maximum velocity of the accreting material measures the potential energy at the stellar surface, which, combined with an observational determination of the stellar radius, yields the stellar mass. This estimate is a lower limit owing to uncertainties in the geometry and projection effects. Using available data, we show that the computed lower limits can be larger than the masses derived from PMS evolutionary tracks for M < 0.5 M_\odot. Our analysis also supports the notion that accretion streams do not impact near the stellar poles but probably hit the stellar surface at moderate latitudes.

Protein film voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry of the electron acceptor site in Photosystem II
Creators: name: Brinkert, Katharina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The key reaction of oxygenic photosynthesis, the light-driven oxidation of water, is carried out by Photosystem II (PSII), a light-driven water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase. Photosystem II is a multi-cofactor protein and its energetic characterization is quite a difficult undertaking. Electrochemical approaches play an important role as a tool for completing the energetic picture and for carrying out fundamental studies of the enzyme. In this work, two electrochemical methods have been applied to study the electron acceptor site of the Photosystem II: spectroelectrochemistry and protein film voltammetry. The first part focuses on the re-measurement of the midpoint potential of the primary quinone electron acceptor, QA, in PSII core complexes isolated from Thermosynechococcus elongatus and in PSII enriched membranes from spinach using an optical transparent thin layer (OTTLE) cell. The obtained results show that the bicarbonate anion, ligated to the non-heme iron at the electron acceptor site in close proximity to QA, plays a significant role in controlling the redox properties of the QA/QA--couple. This finding explains various controversies about existing literature values of the QA/QA-midpoint potential. The second part describes investigations of photocurrents generated by Photosystem II in metal oxide hybrid systems. PSII isolated from T. elongatus was immobilized onto nanostructured titanium dioxide/indium tin oxide electrodes (TiO2/ITO) and the origin of photocurrent upon illumination was studied. Using conditions in which PSII was immobilized as a monolayer, it was demonstrated that direct electron transfer occurs from the redox cofactor QA to the electrode surface, but that the electron transfer through the metal oxide is the rate-limiting step. Redox mediators enhance the photocurrent by taking electrons from the TiO2 surface to the ITO and not from PSII. Furthermore, the origin of cathodic photocurrents (i.e. electron flow from the electrode) was investigated. The results indicate that a one-electron reduction of oxygen to the superoxide anion radical (O2•-) occurs at the ITO surface in darkness when an external bias lower than +300 mV vs NHE was applied. The findings can explain the light-driven and catalytic nature of this current by the fact that the reduction of O2•- occurs at the non-heme iron, which is driven by the photo-reduction of QA.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Competing electric and magnetic excitations in backward electron scattering from heavy deformed nuclei

description: Important $E2$ contributions to the $(e,e^{\prime})$ cross sections of low-lying orbital $M1$ excitations are found in heavy deformed nuclei, arising from the small energy separation between the two excitations with $I^πK = 2^+1$ and 1$^+1$, respectively. They are studied microscopically in QRPA using DWBA. The accompanying $E2$ response is negligible at small momentum transfer $q$ but contributes substantially to the cross sections measured at $θ= 165 ^{\circ}$ for $0.6 < q_{\rm eff} < 0.9$ fm$^{-1}$ ($40 \le E_i \le 70$ MeV) and leads to a very good agreement with experiment. The electric response is of longitudinal $C2$ type for $θ\le 175 ^{\circ}$ but becomes almost purely transverse $E2$ for larger backward angles. The transverse $E2$ response remains comparable with the $M1$ response for $q_{\rm eff} > 1.2$ fm$^{-1}$ ($E_i > 100$ MeV) and even dominant for $E_i > 200$ MeV. This happens even at large backward angles $θ> 175 ^{\circ}$, where the $M1$ dominance is limited to the lower $q$ region.
