Electron harvesting and dynamics at a metal-semiconductor interface
Creators: name: Doiron, Brock
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis, optical measurements are combined with theoretical modelling to evaluate the viability of metal-semiconductor interfaces for use in plasmonic applications. Firstly, the optical response of metals and metallic nanoparticles is presented with emphasis placed on relating the observable optical properties to the underlying electronic processes. This is then extended to describe metal-semiconductor heterojunctions in the context of light-induced electron transfer between the metal and the semiconductor. An overview of the experimental methods used in this work is given along with how the relevant optical properties of a given sample are extracted from the collected data. The key material system of this work, titanium oxynitride, is introduced in the context of the developed models. Ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy is then performed on various titanium oxynitride thin films. Unlike the femtosecond decay expected from density function theory calculations, the transient signal of the titanium oxynitride film persists on the scale of nanoseconds. This is shown to be a result of energetic electrons excited in the metal transferring into the surface oxide and remaining at the surface. The knowledge gained from this is then applied to titanium oxynitride nanostructures where the role of plasmon-enhanced electron harvesting is explored using pump-probe spectroscopy. Interestingly, the electron harvesting efficiencies into the titania surface oxide layer is shown to exceed what is expected by plasmon-enhanced absorption alone as a result of additional damping due to the encapsulating oxide layer. Finally, the thermal resistance of titanium oxynitride is explored at high laser powers, which is a proposed advantage of titanium oxynitride over gold. As a result of the unique thermal, optical and electronic properties provided by the spontaneously occurring titanium oxynitride-titanium dioxide interface, it is likely to play a critical role in the future development of electron harvesting and photocatalytic applications.

Mechanistic models of global biodiversity

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: In a rapidly changing world, society needs ways to understand the distribution of biodiversity and predict its future trajectory. Mechanistic simulation models provide an alternative to traditional statistical correlative methods in explaining the patterns of biodiversity and their underlying processes. I frame the research in mechanistic models and their potential practical applications in conservation using a computational linguistics approach to assess 35,000 full text publications and their citations. I show that conservation and ecology have been steadily drawing apart in topics they discuss. However, there remains cross-dialogue: conservation maintains a strong interest in trophic interactions, community ecology and macroecology in particular. This motivates my focus on global-scale mechanistic models of complete ecological communities. I first study the predictions of an existing general ecosystem model: the Madingley model and test their relationship to empirical data. I find that general trends – the Bergman cline in average body size and allometric scaling of the pace of life with body size – match fairly well. However I also discover that the pace of life, on the whole, is far too fast and small organisms are far too vulnerable to local extinction, leading to suggestions for further model development. I then present a prototype integrated model which nests the Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity in subsets of Madingley model organisms, allowing the model to report on a metric of broad ecological and conservation importance: species diversity and associated patterns in range size and local richness across trophic levels and a body size spectrum. Lastly, I develop an eco-evolutionary simulation showing how varying abundance and speciation rate can cause stable latitudinal gradients. I find that the evolutionary process that affects the relative fitness along this gradient can change the origin of lineages, but not the pattern of richness.

description: Spin and valley indices represent the key quantum labels of quasi-particles in a wide class of two-dimensional materials and form the foundational elements of the fields of spintronics and valleytronics. Control over these degrees of freedom, therefore, remains the central challenge in these fields. Here, we show that femtosecond laser light combining optical frequency circularly polarized pulse and a terahertz (THz) frequency linearly polarized pulse, a so-called “hencomb” pulse, can generate precisely tailored and 90% pure spin currents for the dichalcogenide WSe2 and >75% pure valley currents for bilayer graphene with gaps greater than 120 millielectron volts (dephasing time, 20 femtoseconds). The frequency of the circular light component and the polarization vector of the THz light component are shown to represent the key control parameters of these pulses. Our results thus open a route toward light control over spin/valley current states at ultrafast times.

description: Vibration-rotation lines of H$_{2}$ from highly excited levels approaching the dissociation limit have been detected at a number of locations in the shocked gas of the Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC-1), including in a Herbig-Haro object near the tip of one of the OMC-1 "fingers." Population diagrams show that while the excited H$_{2}$ is almost entirely at a kinetic temperature of $\sim$1,800 K, (typical for vibrationally shock-excited H$_{2}$), as in the previously reported case of Herbig-Haro object HH 7 up to a few percent of the H$_{2}$ is at a kinetic temperature of $\sim$5,000~K. The location with the largest fraction of hot H$_{2}$ is the Herbig-Haro object, where the outflowing material is moving at a higher speed than at the other locations. Although theoretical work is required for a better understanding of the 5,000 K H$_{2}$, (including how it cools), its existence and the apparent dependence of its abundance relative to that of the cooler component on the relative velocities of the outflow and the surrounding ambient gas appear broadly consistent with it having recently reformed. The existence of this high temperature H$_{2}$ appears to be a common characteristic of shock-excited molecular gas.

title: Evolutionary perspectives on medicinal plant use, with emphasis on Chinese medicinal plants
Creators: name: Lei, Di
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Traditional Medicine systems around the world are legacies of all humans. We are still far away 
from understanding all the myths of how the systems arose and were disseminated, and we 
hardly know to what extent they support health. Using phylogenetic methods could help us to 
unravel the stories of plants used in medicine in a more comprehensive way, to include
traditional knowledge about them and how that knowledge was transmitted or evolved.
Phylogenies, by accounting for the taxonomy or relatedness of the plants, help us better 
understand the characteristics of the plants and how the ecological environment might affect 
the uses by local people. Community phylogenetic methods, borrowed from ecology, are 
increasingly applied in studies of plants used in medicine, to understand the pattern of 
selection. Phylogenies are also used to resolve the taxonomically difficult medicinal plant 
groups. This thesis standardized the community phylogenetic method for studies of plants used 
in medicine, by matching the questions and models and metrics in the method and suggesting 
how the phylogenetic framework should be selected. This method was used to investigate the 
humoral concept of four traditional medicine systems: Ayurvedic medicine of India, Unani 
medicine of India, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Traditional Persian medicine. Plants 
are assigned cold, hot and neutral properties in these systems, and it has been widely accepted 
the concepts were transmittable. In this thesis we showed that the plants with these properties 
are not selected from the same evolutionary lineages, and that attributes assigned to the plants 
are strikingly different among cultures. The medicinal use of a plant could be shaped by the 
cultural and floristic environment, it also could be influenced by the evolutionary relations of a 
plant itself. To have a better understanding of TCM, I applied a more established method to 
study the concept of Daodi, which is sometimes compared to the concept of terroir, whereby 
the location where the plant is grown brings extra value. This thesis shows the location is associated with the plant part used in medicine, and availability is crucial when selecting plants 
for medicine. Finally, a phylogenomic approach was applied to genus Cistanche
(Orobanchaceae), which includes species that are used as the important TCM drug Cistanche 
Herba. We use targeted enrichment to capture the single copy gene regions of the nuclear 
genome, which were used as characters to estimate a phylogeny to resolve taxonomic
problems for Cistanche plants distributed in China.

description: Analyzing textual data is a very challenging task because of the huge volume of data generated daily. Fundamental issues in text analysis include the lack of structure in document datasets, the need for various preprocessing steps %(e.g., stem or lemma extraction, part-of-speech tagging, named entities recognition...), and performance and scaling issues. Existing text analysis architectures partly solve these issues, providing restrictive data schemas, addressing only one aspect of text preprocessing and focusing on one single task when dealing with performance optimization. %As a result, no definite solution is currently available. Thus, we propose in this paper a new generic text analysis architecture, where document structure is flexible, many preprocessing techniques are integrated and textual datasets are indexed for efficient access. We implement our conceptual architecture using both a relational and a document-oriented database. Our experiments demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and the superiority of the document-oriented logical and physical implementation.

description: We provide evidence that cumulative distributions of absolute normalized returns for the $100$ American companies with the highest market capitalization, uncover a critical behavior for different time scales $Δt$. Such cumulative distributions, in accordance with a variety of complex --and financial-- systems, can be modeled by the cumulative distribution functions of $q$-Gaussians, the distribution function that, in the context of nonextensive statistical mechanics, maximizes a non-Boltzmannian entropy. These $q$-Gaussians are characterized by two parameters, namely $(q,β)$, that are uniquely defined by $Δt$. From these dependencies, we find a monotonic relationship between $q$ and $β$, which can be seen as evidence of criticality. We numerically determine the various exponents which characterize this criticality.

description: Fractures are the predominant flow pathways in low-permeability rocks. Understanding the fluid-rock interactions that occur in rock fractures and their effects on fracture aperture variations is important for assessing the sustainability of reservoir productivity. This study presents two long-term flow-through experiments with fractured pure quartz sandstones to investigate how fluid composition affects fracture changes over time. One sample was continuously flowed through with fluids (DI or Si-rich fluid), while the other sample was subjected to intermittent flow (DI) at certain time intervals. The results show that the hydraulic aperture of the sample with intermittent flow maintains relatively constant, and the pore fluid is enriched with Si that is higher than the corresponding quartz solubility. On the contrary, hydraulic aperture reduces by 50% of its initial value in the case of continuous flow. The pore fluid Si concentrations are far below the quartz solubility. Based on the microstructure variations of contact asperities and the fluid concentration changes, we demonstrate that pressure solution plays a dominant role in rock fracture deformation and permeability changes. The pore fluid composition has a remarkable effect on the permeability decay process. The cumulative Si in the pore fluid without flow would mitigate fracture closure by limiting pressure solution. In contrast, the continuous injection of DI would lead to the continuous mass transfer between the contact asperities and the pore fluid. The permeability evolutions in the two cases are likely governed by the Si precipitation process and the stress-driving dissolution process, respectively.

description: Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen frequently diagnosed in dairy goat intramammary infections (IMI). S. aureus also has human health significance as a zoonotic pathogen. Control of S. aureus infections is difficult because infection is easily transmitted in a herd, and because there are multiple sources of infection. In addition to the mammary gland, S. aureus has been isolated from other body sites and the environment. Mørk et al compared isolates from body sites using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and found isolates in 6% of goat milk samples and approximately 70% of nasal swabs. In this study, we identified S. aureus isolates from goat milk and nares and from the hands and noses of people milking the goats. Our purpose was to determine the prevalence of S. aureus from these sites, characterize antibiotic susceptibilities, and compare genotypes of isolates from the different sites. Producer surveys were used to characterize herd management practices.

Effect of management factors on fecal egg counts of Haemonchus contortus in pastured sheep and goats in Northern New England

description: Haemonchus contortus (HC) is a subtropical parasite whose pasture-based larval stages are reduced significantly by severe Northern New England winters. Consequently, HC-contaminated northern pastures experience a winter die-off of infective larvae, with re-colonization of pastures occurring as temperatures moderate each spring. The cold winter environment of northern New England provides sheep and goat producers with an advantage over southern farmers because HC-infected fields may be managed each spring to minimize recontamination of pastures, and there is a short grazing season that limits the build-up of infective larvae on pastures. Management data were collected and HC concentrations in pooled feces were measured during the grazing season on 73 farms in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Our objective was to determine the effect of farm type and management strategy on the abundance of H. contortus during the grazing season on northern New England farms.

description: Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a challenging task aiming at recognizing novel classes without any training instances. In this paper we present a simple but high-performance ZSL approach by generating pseudo feature representations (GPFR). Given the dataset of seen classes and side information of unseen classes (e.g. attributes), we synthesize feature-level pseudo representations for novel concepts, which allows us access to the formulation of unseen class predictor. Firstly we design a Joint Attribute Feature Extractor (JAFE) to acquire understandings about attributes, then construct a cognitive repository of attributes filtered by confidence margins, and finally generate pseudo feature representations using a probability based sampling strategy to facilitate subsequent training process of class predictor. We demonstrate the effectiveness in ZSL settings and the extensibility in supervised recognition scenario of our method on a synthetic colored MNIST dataset (C-MNIST). For several popular ZSL benchmark datasets, our approach also shows compelling results on zero-shot recognition task, especially leading to tremendous improvement to state-of-the-art mAP on zero-shot retrieval task.

description: Vaccination programs have been developed to limit disease associated with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection. The ultimate goal of BVDV vaccination is to induce immunity that prevents viral replication after infection; however, passively acquired BVDV-specific neutralizing antibodies can impact immunity and vaccine responses in the young calf. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of passively-derived antibody on vaccine response and mitigation of disease in early weaned beef calves whose passive immune status was documented, and when vaccination and challenge were separated by only 5 days.

description: In 2011 the DNA seesaw gate motif was introduced. It is a powerful feed-forward DNA nanodevice that can perform digital logic computations. The landmark of that work managed to evaluate moderately large Boolean circuits by cascading multiple DNA seesaw gates. Although the design is robust in solution and scalable, it is designed for one time use and is not reusable. This prevents pursuing important applications such as feedback and sequential digital circuits. We present a novel design for DNA nanodevices that can perform digital logic computations and are furthermore renewable. First, we modified the prior DNA seesaw gate motif into a hairpin. We call the resulting motif a DNA hairpin-seesaw gate. We show the feed-forward digital computation reaction imitates the seesaw gate motif. Second, we added a reporting phase that provides increased scalability to our device. Third, we designed input and fuel extracting hairpins that when added, initiate a renewing process. This results in a renewed functional gate, in its original configuration, which is able to make a new logical computation with new inputs. Finally, we introduced a renewable two-input Boolean logic OR gate. After calculating the output of a certain input set, the circuit is restored and a new set of inputs is introduced to compute the new output. We provide experimental fluorescent data on three repeated rounds of executions of our hairpin gate motif and its restoration, indicating gradual loss of response. Finally, we calculated rate constants of our experimental data by fitting it to a second order reaction model using maximum likelihood estimation method.

description: Active colloids and externally actuated semi-flexible filaments provide basic building blocks for designing autonomously motile micro-machines. Here, we show that a passive semi-flexible filament can be actuated and transported by attaching an active colloid to its terminus. We study the dynamics of this assembly when it is free, tethered, or clamped using overdamped equations of motion that explicitly account for active fluid flow and the forces it mediates. Linear states are destabilized by buckling instabilities to produce stable states of non-zero curvature and writhe. We demarcate boundaries of these states in the two-dimensional parameter space representing dimensionless measures of polar and apolar activity. Our proposed assembly can be used as a novel component in the design of micro-machines at low Reynolds number and to study elastic instabilities driven by "follower" forces.

description: Evaluation of rumen fluid for pH and rumen microbes (in particular, rumen protozoa) is helpful for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. Evaluating the pH of the rumen fluid is used to confirm acute ruminal acidosis as well as subacute ruminal acidosis. Evaluation of the ruminal protozoa helps to confirm the necessity of ruminal transfaunation. Protozoa will be dead or dying if the ruminant has been ill and off-feed for some time (usually>4 days). Passage of an oro-ruminal tube is 1 method for obtaining a rumen fluid sample. However, this method may yield rumen fluid that is mixed with saliva and may falsely elevate rumen pH. The tube method also requires more time and effort. A simple means of obtaining rumen fluid is trans-abdominal ruminal aspiration. This method has been used for over 20 years by the primary investigator (Roberson), but has never been evaluated in regards to safety and efficiency. The purpose of this study was to document the methodology, determine the actual time of obtaining the sample, and evaluate any negative consequences of the procedure. Secondary aims were to determine pH and number of protozoa/40x field.

description: The well-known trigonometric Scarf potential is generalized by adding a sinusoidal term and then treated using the Asymptotic Iteration Method (AIM) and the Tridiagonal Representation Approach (TRA). The energy spectrum of the associated bound states are computed. For the AIM, we have improved convergence of the quantization condition that terminates the iterations asymptotically. This is accomplished by looking for the range of initial values of the space variable in the terminating condition that produces stable results (plateau of convergence). We have shown that with increasing iteration this plateau of convergence grows up rapidly to an optimal iteration number and then shrinks slowly to a point. The value of this point (or points) may depend on the physical parameters. The numerical results have been compared favorably with those resulting from the TRA.

A new endoscopic approach for bronchoalveolar lavage compared with traditional trans tracheal lavage for BRD diagnostics
Creators: name: Hasseler, W.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2015

description: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a very common and useful diagnostic approach for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) management. Traditionally the lavage is carried out through the trachea (trans-tracheal lavage - TAL). A new hand held multiscope (endoscope with several different functions; ivetscope) has been designed for a more convenient way of BAL under field conditions. The aim of this study was to compare 2 different methods of alveolar lung lavage - the puncture of the trachea with the transtracheal lavage against the oral-laryngeal method.

Long-Range Tails in van der Waals Interactions of Excited-State and Ground-State Atoms

description: A quantum electrodynamic calculation of the interaction of an excited-state atom with a ground-state atom is performed. For an excited reference state and a lower-lying virtual state, the contribution to the interaction energy naturally splits into a pole term, and a Wick-rotated term. The pole term is shown to dominate in the long-range limit, altering the functional form of the interaction from the retarded 1/R^7 Casimir-Polder form to a long-range tail-provided by the Wick-rotated term-proportional to cos[2 (E_m-E_n) R/(hbar c)]/R^2, where E_m < E_n is the energy of a virtual state, lower than the reference state energy E_n, and R is the interatomic separation. General expressions are obtained which can be applied to atomic reference states of arbitrary angular symmetry. Careful treatment of the pole terms in the Feynman prescription for the atomic polarizability is found to be crucial in obtaining correct results.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are emerging as promising two-dimensional (2d) semiconductors for optoelectronic and flexible devices. However, a microscopic explanation of their photophysics -- of pivotal importance for the understanding and optimization of device operation -- is still lacking. Here we use femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, with pump pulse tunability and broadband probing, to monitor the relaxation dynamics of single-layer MoS2 over the entire visible range, upon photoexcitation of different excitonic transitions. We find that, irrespective of excitation photon energy, the transient absorption spectrum shows the simultaneous bleaching of all excitonic transitions and corresponding red-shifted photoinduced absorption bands. First-principle modeling of the ultrafast optical response reveals that a transient bandgap renormalization, caused by the presence of photo-excited carriers, is primarily responsible for the observed features. Our results demonstrate the strong impact of many-body effects in the transient optical response of TMDs even in the low-excitation-density regime.

Analysis and control of nonlinear differential-algebraic systems
Creators: name: Di Franco, Pierluigi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: In this Thesis the topics of integration, analysis and control of nonlinear differential-algebraic systems are studied using notions and tools from classical control theory. Typical problems arising when differential-algebraic systems are numerically integrated include inconsistent initial conditions, round-off errors and constraint drift. Constraint stabilization methods represent an efficient solution to these issues. It is observed, however, that the application to nonlinear systems of constraint stabilization methods which rely on a linear feedback mechanism may result in trajectories with finite escape time. To overcome this problem we propose a method based on a nonlinear stabilization mechanism which guarantees the global existence and convergence of the solutions. Discretization schemes, which preserve the properties of the method, are also presented. Classical approaches to the stability analysis and control of nonlinear differential-algebraic systems rely on the calculation of the underlying unconstrained dynamics to which classical results can be applied. Different from these approaches, an alternative which allows studying the stability properties of the equilibrium points directly in the differential-algebraic formulation of the system is proposed. In particular, sufficient stability conditions relying on matrix inequalities are established via Lyapunov Direct Method. In addition, a novel interpretation of differential-algebraic systems as feedback interconnection of a purely differential system and an algebraic system allows reducing the stability analysis to a small-gain-like condition. The stability analysis for constrained mechanical systems, the stabilization problem for a class of Lipschitz differential-algebraic systems and the control problem for an air suspension system, along with several numerical examples, are used to illustrate the theory.
