description: Dynamic nuclear polarization via contact with electronic spins has emerged as an attractive route to enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) beyond the traditional limits imposed by magnetic field strength and temperature. Among the various alternative implementations, the use of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond - a paramagnetic point defect whose spin can be optically polarized at room temperature - has attracted widespread attention, but applications have been hampered by the need to align the NV axis with the external magnetic field. Here we overcome this hurdle through the combined use of continuous optical illumination and a microwave sweep over a broad frequency range. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate our approach using powdered diamond where we attain bulk 13C spin polarization in excess of 0.25 percent under ambient conditions. Remarkably, our technique acts efficiently on diamond crystals of all orientations, and polarizes nuclear spins with a sign that depends exclusively on the direction of the microwave sweep. Our work paves the way towards the use of hyperpolarized diamond particles as imaging contrast agents for biosensing and, ultimately, for the hyperpolarization of nuclear spins in arbitrary liquids brought in contact with their surface.

description: The two only species of isolatable, smallest, or unit charges +e and -e present in nature interact with the universal vacuum in a polarisable dielectric representation through two uniquely defined vacuum potential functions. All of the non-composite subatomic particles containing one-unit charges, +e or -e, are therefore formed in terms of the IED model of the respective charges, of zero rest masses, oscillating in either of the two unique vacuum potential fields, together with the radiation waves of their own charges. In this paper we give a first principles treatment of the dynamics of charge in a dielectric vacuum, based on which, combined with solutions for the radiation waves obtained previously, we subsequently derive the vacuum potential function for a given charge q, which we show to be quadratic and consist each of quantised potential levels, giving therefore rise to quantised characteristic oscillation frequencies of the charge and accordingly quantised, sharply-defined masses of the IED particles. By further combining with relevant experimental properties as input information, we determine the IED particles built from the charges +e,-e at their first excited states in the respective vacuum potential wells to be the proton and the electron, the observationally two only stable (permanently lived) and "free" particles containing one-unit charges. Their antiparticles as produced in pair productions can be accordingly determined. The characteristics of all of the other more energetic non-composite subatomic particles can also be recognised. We finally discuss the energy condition for pair production, which requires two successive energy supplies to (1) first disintegrate the bound pair of vaculeon charges +e,-e composing a vacuuon of the vacuum and (2) impart masses to the disintegrated charges.

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a major predictor of progressive glomerular disease. It occurs as a result of persistent inflammation and is characterised by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including accumulation of type I collagen, the most abundant protein of the ECM. Type I collagen is encoded by two genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2, that are tightly regulated at a transcriptional level. A key aim of this study was to use the previously identified COL1A2 promoter and enhancer sequences in order to identify novel regulatory cis-acting elements and the relevant transcription factors that regulate collagen transcription in cells derived from healthy or diseased kidneys. Moreover, the effects of hypoxia and transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ), which are both profibrotic stimuli, on collagen transcription were studied. TGFβ is known to activate CDP/cux transcription factors which can suppress gene activation; based on this finding the role of CDP/cux in COL1A2 transcriptional regulation was assessed. In conclusion,the work presented in this thesis provides an insight into the complex control mechanisms that regulate collagen transcription in both physiological and pathological conditions.

description: Dynamic helicity switching by utilizing metasurfaces is challenging because it requires deep modulation of polarization states. To realize such helicity switching, this paper proposes a dynamic metasurface functioning as a switchable quarter-wave plate, the fast axis of which can be dynamically rotated by $90^\circ$. The device is based on the critical transition of an anisotropic metallic checkerboard, which realizes the deep modulation and simultaneous design of the switchable states. After verifying the functionality of the ideally designed device in a simulation, we tune its structural parameters to realize practical experiments in the terahertz frequency range. By evaluating the fabricated sample with vanadium dioxide, the conductivity of which can be controlled by temperature, its dynamic helicity switching function is demonstrated.

description: In this paper we discuss a theoretical model for the interfacial profiles of progressive non-linear waves which result from introducing a triangular obstacle, of finite height, attached to the bottom below the flow of a stratified, ideal, two layer fluid, bounded from above by a rigid boundary. The derived equations are solved by using a nonlinear perturbation method. The dependence of the interfacial profile on the triangular obstacle size, as well as its dependence on some flow parameters, such as the ratios of depths and densities of the two fluids, have been studied.

description: Single individual haplotyping is an NP-hard problem that emerges when attempting to reconstruct an organism's inherited genetic variations using data typically generated by high-throughput DNA sequencing platforms. Genomes of diploid organisms, including humans, are organized into homologous pairs of chromosomes that differ from each other in a relatively small number of variant positions. Haplotypes are ordered sequences of the nucleotides in the variant positions of the chromosomes in a homologous pair; for diploids, haplotypes associated with a pair of chromosomes may be conveniently represented by means of complementary binary sequences. In this paper, we consider a binary matrix factorization formulation of the single individual haplotyping problem and efficiently solve it by means of alternating minimization. We analyze the convergence properties of the alternating minimization algorithm and establish theoretical bounds for the achievable haplotype reconstruction error. The proposed technique is shown to outperform existing methods when applied to synthetic as well as real-world Fosmid-based HapMap NA12878 datasets.

description: In this paper a novel reset control synthesis method is proposed: CRONE reset control, combining a robust fractional CRONE controller with non-linear reset control to overcome waterbed effect. In CRONE control, robustness is achieved by creation of constant phase behaviour around bandwidth with the use of fractional operators, also allowing more freedom in shaping the open-loop frequency response. However, being a linear controller it suffers from the inevitable trade-off between robustness and performance as a result of the waterbed effect. Here reset control is introduced in the CRONE design to overcome the fundamental limitations. In the new controller design, reset phase advantage is approximated using describing function analysis and used to achieve better open-loop shape. Sufficient quadratic stability conditions are shown for the designed CRONE reset controllers and the control design is validated on a Lorentz-actuated nanometre precision stage. It is shown that for similar phase margin, better performance in terms of reference-tracking and noise attenuation can be achieved.

description: A deep conjecture on torsion anomalous varieties states that if $V$ is a weak-transverse variety in an abelian variety, then the complement $V^{ta}$ of all $V$-torsion anomalous varieties is open and dense in $V$. We prove some cases of this conjecture. We show that the $V$-torsion anomalous varieties of relative codimension one are non-dense in any weak-transverse variety $V$ embedded in a product of elliptic curves with CM. We give explicit uniform bounds in the dependence on $V$. As an immediate consequence we prove the conjecture for $V$ of codimension two in a product of CM elliptic curves. We also point out some implications on the effective Mordell-Lang Conjecture.
The genetics of human C-reactive protein and complement C3 expression in health and disease
Creators: name: Rhodes, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: C-reactive protein (CRP) and complement component C3 are both plasma proteins involved in antigen recognition by the innate immune system. They may play a role in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and coronary heart disease. CRP is heritable, but there is uncertainty over the key genetic variants influencing expression. C3 heritability has not been demonstrated, although a single report suggests C3 variation influences serum C3 level and susceptibility to SLE. This thesis presents an association analysis of CRP genotype and serum CRP from four ethnically diverse cohorts. Two cohorts were diseased based (UK European and Filipino SLE family cohorts) allowing the additional analysis of CRP genotype/disease association, and one (UK rheumatoid arthritis cases) consisted of individuals with active inflammatory disease. CRP genotype was associated with serum CRP in all cohorts. Analysis of an African- American cohort (which had an informative pattern of linkage disequilibrium at CRP) highlighted a single CRP SNP, rs3091244, likely to be a key regulator of expression at this locus. No association was observed between CRP genotype and SLE. The UK European SLE cohort was also used to demonstrate C3 heritability and explore associations between C3 genotype, serum C3 and SLE. Cis-acting associations were identified with both serum C3 and SLE. The recognition that serum CRP and C3 levels are, in part, genetically determined traits has implications for their use in the monitoring and diagnosis of disease. For neither protein does a single cis-acting variant explain most of the variation in serum level: this may be determined by multiple interacting variants, many of which have yet to be identified.

Engineering glycan-binding proteins for the detection, analysis and treatment of cancer cells
Creators: name: Powlesland, Alex Stephen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Aberrant glycosylation in cancer cells can often lead to an increase in the exposure of unusual glycan structures. The presence of these structures can be exploited by engineering glycan-binding proteins as novel tools for the characterisation of glycoproteins bearing cancer-associated glycan structures. The carbohydraterecognition domain (CRD) of a rat serum mannose-binding protein (MBP) has been modified to mimic the glycan-specificity of a galactose-binding C-type lectin. Galactosebinding MBP (GalMBP) binds selectively to cancer-associated glycan structures on an array of glycans, including Lewis-type structures and T antigen. GalMBP binding to breast cancer cell lines has been demonstrated and GalMBP ligands on these cell lines have been purified on affinity columns of immobilised GalMBP. Analysis and purification of GalMBP ligands from MCF7 cell membranes led to the identification of a restricted population of high molecular weight glycoproteins. Proteomic and glycomic analysis of these glycoproteins by mass spectrometry showed that they are forms of CD98hc that bear glycans displaying heavily fucosylated termini, including Lewisx and Lewisy structures. Glycoproteomic analysis of a panel of commonly studied breast cancer cell lines reveals wide variations in the levels of Lewisx and the T antigen as well as the proteins that they are carried on. Proteins identified in multiple cell lines by GalMBP, including the mucin MUC-1 bearing T antigen and CD98hc, may represent common cancer-cell surface targets for GalMBP. The use of GalMBP as a proteomic tool for characterisation of glycoproteins bearing Lewisx has also been demonstrated on a panel of Hodgkin’s Reed-Sternberg cell lines. Identification of common protein carriers of Lewisx among different cell lines including CD98hc and ICAM-1 provides information about the likely role of these structures in the pathology of Hodgkin's Lymphomas and supports the previous finding that CD98hc is a novel protein carrier of Lewisx structures.

New Sulfone-Assisted Strategies for Alkaloid Synthesis

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is divided into three chapters. Chapter 1 provides brief reviews on the subjects of previous total syntheses of suaveoline, alstonerine and cytisine. In addition, a review concerning the Pictet–Spengler reaction mechanism and its application to the total syntheses of isoquinoline containing natural products has been included as well. Chapter 2 focuses on the research findings in the past three years. Two routes were investigated towards the total synthesis of (±)-suaveoline involving the decarboxylative Claisen rearrangement (dCr), N-sulfonylaziridine chemistry and subsequent nucleophilic ringopening of the latter by various sulfone-anions. Route A focused on the use of oxo-lithio chelation during aziridine ring-opening while route B employed selective weakening of the aziridine C–N bond proximal to the olefin by PiC–C→Sigma* C–N overlap (Scheme 0.1). Attempts towards total synthesis of (±)-alstonerine involved the preparation and subsequent screening of various sulfone-anions against the indolic hydroxy aziridine, followed by an interesting E1cB / Michael addition, cis-Pictet–Spengler cyclization and an ambitious global reduction step. Furthermore progress towards total synthesis of (–)-cytisine involved investigation towards the application of regioselective sulfone-anion hydroxy-aziridine opening mediated by oxolithio- chelation. Chapter 3 provides the experimental details and characterization data.

description: By means of Surface Evolver (Exp. Math,1,141 1992), a software package of brute-force energy minimization over a triangulated surface developed by the geometry center of University of Minnesota, we have numerically searched the non-axisymmetric shapes under the Helfrich spontaneous curvature (SC) energy model. We show for the first time there are abundant mechanically stable non-axisymmetric vesicles in SC model, including regular ones with intrinsic geometric symmetry and complex irregular ones. We report in this paper several interesting shapes including a corniculate shape with six corns, a quadri-concave shape, a shape resembling sickle cells, and a shape resembling acanthocytes. As far as we know, these shapes have not been theoretically obtained by any curvature model before. In addition, the role of the spontaneous curvature in the formation of irregular crenated vesicles has been studied. The results shows a positive spontaneous curvature may be a necessary condition to keep an irregular crenated shape being mechanically stable.

description: The Cocoa swollen shoot disease probably represents today the greatest threat to cocoa production in Côte d'Ivoire. The disease is caused by the Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV), a badnavirus transmitted to cocoa by about 15 mealybug species in West Africa. At local scale, the propagation of CSSV outbreaks is closely related to mealybug dispersal behaviors. The ability of barrier crops to stop the disease spread has been demonstrated in Togo and Ghana, yet mechanisms involved are still not elucidated. The present study aims at better understanding these mechanisms by studying mealybug population dynamics in young plantations surrounded by barrier crops. A set of twelve 0.25 ha cocoa plots surrounded by 10 m large hedges of coffee (Coffea robusta) or acacia (Acacia auriculiformis), or without hedges (control plots), was implemented within large CSSV outbreaks in mature cacao plantations, in July and August 2019, near Soubré (South-West Côte d'Ivoire). First counts of mealybug colonies on cocoa and barrier crops were done in September 2019 and February, March and May 2020. From November 2020 to August 2022, populations were assessed monthly using a scoring scale, a score from 0 to 3 being given to each cocoa according to the size of the hosted population. Pseudococcus longispinus and Ferrisia virgata were the first species present on cocoa, but populations remained small until May 2020 with a maximum of 0.5% of trees infested by few mealybugs. These two species have long waxy hairs that allow them to be transported by wind. Although very common in neighboring mature plantations, Formicococcus njalensis populations remained small in young plots. During the period November 2020 - August 2022, F. njalensis was the dominant species on cocoa with 63.8% of the total number of infested trees. F. virgata, Planococcus citri and P. longispinus represented 10.8%, 4.7%, 2.9% of infested trees, respectively. Following results were obtained for the most infested plantation, with coffee barriers. Weighted infestation rate for F. njalensis showed significant variation throughout the period, but without clear seasonal trend, suggesting that other factors than climate may have affected mealybug populations. Maps of infestation and semivariograms showed that F. njalensis population was globally aggregated, meaning that cocoa trees hosting mealybugs were usually grouped. In addition, borders of the plot were more infested than center. suggesting that plot colonization by mealybugs started from coffee barriers. These results were discussed and recommendations given for more efficient barrier crops.

description: The dual-resonant enhancement of mechanical and optical response in cavity optomechanical magnetometers enables precision sensing of magnetic fields. In previous working prototypes of such magnetometers, a cavity optomechanical system is functionalized by manually epoxy-bonding a grain of magnetostrictive material. While this approach allows proof-of-principle demonstrations, practical applications require more scalable and reproducible fabrication pathways. In this work, we scalably fabricate optomechanical magnetometers on a silicon chip, with reproducible performance across different devices, by sputter coating a magnetostrictive film onto high quality toroidal microresonators. Furthermore, we demonstrate that thermally annealing the sputtered film can improve the magnetometer sensitivity by a factor of 6.3. A peak sensitivity of 585 pT/Hz^1/2 is achieved, which is comparable with previously reported results using epoxy-bonding.

description: The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a major undertaking by the Bureau of Reclamation to bring water from the Colorado River to central and southern Arizona. The aqueduct, which will help accomplish this feat, extends from the town of Parker, on the Colorado River to the west, across the western desert of Arizona to Phoenix. From the Phoenix metropolitan area the aqueduct turns south, crosses the Gila River in the vicinity of Florence and will terminate slightly to the south of Tucson. In addition to the aqueduct, a series of reservoirs will be built elsewhere within Arizona to help in the overall distribution and management of water. Such projects are planned for the Lake Pleasant area on the Agua Fria River, the Cliff area north of Lake Bartlett, Lake Roosevelt in the area of the Tonto Basin, and the Buttes area on the Gila River. These elements of the CAP fall along an arc, extending eastwards from Lake Pleasant to Lake Roosevelt and then south towards the Tucson Basin. Cradled within the heart of this arc lie the Lower Salt and Gila basins, in which the Hohokam developed their most extensive irrigation and settlement systems and which, until recently, were the best studied portions of the Hohokam region. It is clear, given the magnitude of the effort which is involved in the CAP that this balance will shift (and perhaps already has) towards the periphery. We propose to conduct research at a sample of 22 sites in the vicinity of the town of Marana. In one sense the Marana project is only one more in a series of CAP projects, involving less effort and probably less spectacular sites than other CAP archaeological studies. But in another sense, the research at the Marana Complex is the beginning of an opportunity to really understand the organization of Classic period communities. This opportunity, which may take ten years to fulfill, requires joining together pieces of a number of different complexes of sites and almost certainly will involve multiple researchers. But, it is an opportunity which cannot be missed, and which must begin with this project.

description: Wireless powered sensor networks (WPSNs) have emerged as a key development towards the future self-sustainable Internet of Things (IoT) networks. To achieve a good balance between self-sustainability and reliability, partially WPSNs with a mixed power solution are desirable for practical applications. Specifically, most of the sensor nodes are wireless powered but the key sensor node adopts traditional wire/battery power for reliability. As a result, this paper mainly investigates optimal design for the partially WPSNs in which simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is adopted in the downlink. Two scenarios with space division multiple access (SDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA) in the uplink are considered. For both the SDMA-enabled and TDMA-enabled partially WPSNs, joint design of downlink beamforming, uplink beamforming and time allocation is investigated to maximize the uplink sum rate while guaranteeing the quality-of-service (i.e., satisfying the downlink rate constraint) at the key sensor node. After analyzing the feasibility of uplink sum rate maximization problems and the influence of the downlink rate constraint, semi-closed-form optimal solutions for both SDMA-enabled and TDMA-enabled WPSNs are proposed with guaranteed global optimality. Complexity analysis is also provided to justify the advantage of the proposed solutions in low complexity. The effectiveness and optimality of the proposed optimal solutions are finally demonstrated by simulations.

description: Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. conducted a cultural resource survey of a proposed Salt River Project (SRP) training center at the request of Dr. Judy Brunson of SRP. The survey was performed to provide an inventory and assessment of the cultural resources that might be affected by the proposed construction. Two relatively recent sites consisting of several discrete surficial trash dumps were identified. Both sites are not considered to be significant.
How does Casimir energy fall? IV. Gravitational interaction of regularized quantum vacuum energy

description: Several years ago we demonstrated that the Casimir energy for perfectly reflecting and imperfectly reflecting parallel plates gravitated normally, that is, obeyed the equivalence principle. At that time the divergences in the theory were treated only formally, without proper regularization, and the coupling to gravity was limited to the canonical energy-momentum-stress tensor. Here we strengthen the result by removing both of those limitations. We consider, as a toy model, massless scalar fields interacting with semitransparent ($δ$-function) potentials defining parallel plates, which become Dirichlet plates for strong coupling. We insert space and time point-split regulation parameters, and obtain well-defined contributions to the self- energy of each plate, and the interaction energy between the plates. (This self-energy does not vanish even in the conformally-coupled, strong-coupled limit.) We also compute the local energy density, which requires regularization near the plates. In general, the energy density includes a surface energy that resides precisely on the boundaries. This energy is also regulated. The gravitational interaction of this well-defined system is then investigated, and it is verified that the equivalence principle is satisfied.

Clinical and PET Imaging Studies in Parkinson’s Disease Motor and Non-Motor Complications: Serotonergic and Dopamimergic Mechanisms and Applications in Treatment
Creators: name: Politis, Marios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The clinical course of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is complicated by the development of motor and non-motor complications. This thesis, using clinical motor and non-motor assessments and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 11C-raclopride, 11CDASB and 18F-DOPA, aims to explore in PD the role of: (1) postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptor dysfunction, (2) serotonergic dysfunction in the development of non-motor symptoms such as depression and body weight change, (3) striatal serotonergic neurons in levodopa- and graft -induced dyskinesias (LIDs and GIDs), and (4) the efficacy of treatment with continuous dopaminergic stimulation. The main findings are as follows: (1) D2 receptor dysfunction in the hypothalamus but not in the putamen was evident in PD, possibly accounting for the development of non-motor symptoms. (2) A staging of serotonergic dysfunction throughout the clinical course of PD has been demonstrated in this thesis and showed that serotonergic system is involved early on. (3) Higher serotonin transporter availability has been found in PD patients with elevated depressive symptoms and in PD patients with significant changes in their body weight. (4) Striatal serotonergic terminals are involved in peak-dose LIDs in PD, and administration of a high bolus dose of a 5-HT1A agonist was able to normalize extracellular dopamine levels and alleviate dyskinesias. (5) Excessive serotonergic innervation was found in two PD patients with GIDs who had experienced major recovery after striatal transplantation with fetal cells. GIDs were markedly attenuated by repeated administration of low doses of a 5-HT1A agonist, which dampens transmitter release from serotonergic neurons, indicating that serotonergic hyperinnervation was the likely cause of GIDs. (6) Continuous dopaminergic stimulation with levodopa intestinal gel induced good clinical response and stable and prolonged synaptic levels of striatal dopamine release. My observations provide fundamental insight for the role and interaction of serotonergic and dopaminergic systems in the pathophysiology of PD and have key implications for the management of motor and non-motor complications with drugs or cell therapies.

Hamiltonian Reduction of $SL(2)$-theories at the Level of Correlators

description: Since the work of Bershadsky and Ooguri and Feigin and Frenkel it is well known that correlators of $SL(2)$ current algebra for admissible representations should reduce to correlators for conformal minimal models. A precise proposal for this relation has been given at the level of correlators: When $SL(2)$ primary fields are expressed as $ϕ_j(z_n,x_n)$ with $x_n$ being a variable to keep track of the $SL(2)$ representation multiplet (possibly infinitely dimensional for admissible representations), then the minimal model correlator is supposed to be obtained simply by putting all $x_n=z_n$. Although strong support for this has been presented, to the best of our understanding a direct, simple proof seems to be missing so in this paper we present one based on the free field Wakimoto construction and our previous study of that in the present context. We further verify that the explicit $SL(2)$ correlators we have published in a recent preprint reduce in the above way, up to a constant which we also calculate. We further discuss the relation to more standard formulations of hamiltonian reduction.

description: We investigate the relation between the radio (F_r) and optical (F_o) flux densities of a variety of classes of radio transients and variables, with the aim of analysing whether this information can be used, in the future, to classify such events. Using flux density values between 1-10 GHz and the optical bands V and R, we build a sample with a total of 12,441 F_r and F_o measurements. The sample contains both Galactic objects, such as stellar sources and X-ray binaries, and extragalactic objects, such as gamma-ray bursts and quasars. By directly comparing the two parameters, it is already possible to distinguish between the Galactic and extragalactic populations. Although individual classes are harder to separate from the F_r-F_o parameter space to a high accuracy, and can only provide approximations, the basic approach provides an already useful foundation to develop a more accurate classification technique. In addition, we illustrate how example objects from different classes move in the parameter space as they evolve over time, offering a feature that could be used to reduce the confusion between classes. A small, blind test of the classification performance is also undertaken using a catalogue of FIRST transient and variable sources, to demonstrate the advantages and current limitations of the approach. With more multi-wavelength data becoming available in the future, we discuss other classification techniques which the F_r-F_o method could be combined with and potentially become an important part of an automatic radio transient classification system.
