description: On the lower continental slope off Vancouver Island near scientific ocean drilling IODP Site U1326, traveltime modeling along several ocean bottom seismograph (OBS) profiles shows anomalous high velocities of about 2.0 km/s at 70 - 100 m depth (compared to a no-hydrate reference of about 1.6 km/s). These velocities are consistent with the Site U1326 downhole sonic logs that show velocities up to 2.8 km/s near these depths. The drillhole high velocities are interpreted as caused by nearly massive hydrate with concentrations as large as 60-80% of the pore space. The OBS seismic velocities show that high hydrate concentrations of at least 20-30% are laterally extensive out to distances of at least 6 km on either side of the drillhole. A grid of migrated single-channel data shows a sequence of 15- to 75-m-high seafloor scarps, cutting across the ridge perpendicular to the deformation front. These are interpreted as normal faults. Two of the largest fault scarps bound a prominent ~2.5-km-wide slump feature on the steep seaward slope of the frontal ridge. This provides strong evidence that the slump is fault-controlled, and the base of the slump is near the base of hydrate stability suggesting that the slumping is also related to the presence of gas hydrate. At IODP drill Site U1327 on the mid-continental slope, seismic data were recorded along a 1-km-long profile of 10 OBSs. Traveltimes from wide-angle and vertical-incidence arrivals were inverted simultaneously for velocity structure. Corresponding hydrate concentrations increase with depth with an average of about 15% in the 100-m-thick layer above the base of hydrate stability . The seismic structure shows that this local hydrate distribution extends on the kilometer-scale away from the drillhole, as also suggested by multichannel interval velocities in the region. At Site U1328 (Bullseye Vent), seismic images derived from the very high resolution deep-towed DTAGS reflection data show that the top of a zone of high reflectivity, 10-25 m in thickness, extends from the seafloor to a depth of ~30 m. This zone likely corresponds to the shallow region of massive methane hydrate detected in the upper 40 m in the drillhole, and may represent a system of fractures through which fluids and gas pass from the main vent to the seafloor.

description: To formulate two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with adjoint matter fields in the large-N limit as classical mechanics, we derive a Poisson algebra for the color-invariant observables involving adjoint matter fields. We showed rigorously in J. Math. Phys. 40, 1870 (1999) that different quantum orderings of the observables produce essentially the same Poisson algebra. Here we explain, in a less precise but more pedagogical manner, the crucial topological graphical observations underlying the formal proof.

description: A model of particle interacting with quantum field is considered. The model includes as particular cases the polaron model and non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. We show that the field operators obey q-commutation relations with q depending on time. After the stochastic (or van Hove) limit, due to the nonlinearity, the atomic and field degrees of freedom become entangled in the sense that the field and the atomic variables no longer commute but give rise to a new algebra with new commutation relations replacing the Boson ones. This new algebra allows to give a simple proof of the fact that the non crossing half-planar diagrams give the dominating contribution in a weak coupling regime and to calculate explicitly the correlations associated to the new algebra. The above results depend crucially on the fact that we do not introduce any dipole or multipole approximation.

description: This thesis describes the development of a rare gas metastable atomic beam apparatus, and its application to atom lithography. The principal component of the apparatus is the supersonic DC discharge source. The source parameters, such as operating pressure, skimmer distance, discharge current and nozzle shape were optimised to generate a bright beam of excited state metastable neon and argon, with typical flux of 5×10¹? atoms sr?¹ and 3×10¹? atoms sr?¹ respectively. This apparatus was used to investigate the pattern formation of self assembled monolayer (SAM) resists prepared on Au/Si samples exposed to metastable beams of Ar* and Ne*, through microfabricated contact masks. Positive and negative tone patterning was observed, with supporting XPS analysis attributing the negative tone resists to contamination from pump oil vapour. The formation of negative tone contamination resists by the metastable neon beam was applied to the generation of micrometer sized Fe structures using contact masks. A 3-step etch process was developed and refined, resulting in 7.5µm Fe microdot structures on a Si substrate. A bright transverse and longitudinally cooled and collimated metastable neon beam source for atom lithography was developed. The transverse atomic beam collimation stage produced a collimated beam flux of of 1.4×10¹? s?¹, with a divergence of 22.8 mrad. Axial slowing of the atomic beam was demonstrated with the development of a Zeeman slower. Numerical simulations were undertaken to calculate the motion of metastable neon atoms in a one-dimensional standing wave light field mask. The simulations show the dynamics and atom distributions for the focusing regime (low power) and channeling regime (high power). Future refinements of the apparatus should allow the realisation of nanofabricated structures utilising optical masking techniques.

description: We show that the phase II upgrade of the CMS tracking detector could enable the experiment to trigger on very low mass $\mathcal{O}(1\,\text{GeV})$ displaced muon pairs with minimal $p_T$ cuts. As a result, CMS can be competitive with LHCb when searching for low mass displaced exotics originating from heavy flavor decays. The method can also be applied to signatures without muons but with a moderate amount of MET, $H_T$ or multiple displaced vertices in the event.

description: It is well-known that is spite of sharing some properties with conventional particles, topological geons in general violate the spin-statistics theorem. On the other hand, it is generally believed that in quantum gravity theories allowing for topology change, using pair creation and annihilation of geons, one should be able to recover this theorem. In this paper, we take an alternative route, and use an algebraic formalism developed in previous work. We give a description of topological geons where an algebra of "observables" is identified and quantized. Different irreducible representations of this algebra correspond to different kinds of geons, and are labeled by a non-abelian "charge" and "magnetic flux". We then find that the usual spin-statistics theorem is indeed violated, but a new spin-statistics relation arises, when we assume that the fluxes are superselected. This assumption can be proved if all observables are local, as is generally the case in physical theories. Finally, we also show how our approach fits into conventional formulations of quantum gravity.

description: Flow and transport in porous media is the fundamental physical process in many important applications such as hydrocarbon recovery, carbon dioxide subsurface sequestration, treatment of non-aqueous liquid pollutions in soil systems, and flooding control for fuel cell systems. Clear description, correct modeling and precise prediction of flow in porous media are of great significance. Although many single-phase and multiphase systems can be characterized using macroscopic models such as Darcy’s law (or the multiphase form of it), other complex flow systems, such as emulsion flow, nanoparticle suspension flow, etc., require a more detailed description. For those complex cases, revealing the pore-scale physics is necessary for larger-scale modeling and predictions. Microfluidics provide a simple way to visualize micron-scale flow behavior with excellent controllability, thus helping to clarify the fundamental pore-scale flow mechanisms and is, therefore, useful for studying flow and transport in porous media. In this work, several special micromodel designs from the single-pore level to pore-network level on microchips were made in order to capture realistic pore-scale flow mechanisms while keeping the system simplified enough for easy quantification. At the single-pore level, the trapping and mobilization of a non-wetting oil droplet at a pore-throat structure are investigated on an ideal pore-throat microfluidic geometry. A simple physical model is derived and the effects of bare nanoparticle aqueous suspension in mobilizing oil is further studied. A dual-permeability microchannel is used to study the emulsion flow in natural fracture system and a synergistic effect between nanoparticles and non-ionic surfactant is investigated to stabilize the emulsion and to potentially improve sweep efficiency. At the pore-network-pore level, a 2.5-D porous micromodel is fabricated to introduce essential 3-D feature in traditional 2-D porous micromodel. On this advanced 2.5-D micromodel, multiple complex fluid systems, including spontaneous imbibition, unstable water drainage, ultra-low IFT flooding, bubble evolution under Ostwald ripening, nanofluid flooding, etc., have been studied, with new physics revealed and modeled. A novel EOR method using nanoparticle treated oil (NPTO) is proposed and validated.

description: The X-ray afterglows of GRB 001025A and GRB 010220 were detected by XMM-Newton with an average 0.2--10.0 keV flux of 4.4 and 3.3x10^{-14} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} respectively; the afterglow of GRB 001025A is observed to decay. Afterglows at other wavelengths were not detected for either burst. A set of broadened soft X-ray emission lines are detected in the afterglow of GRB 001025A, at 5.0 sigma significance above a Galactic-absorbed power-law continuum. The spectra of both afterglows are significantly better fit by a variable abundance thermal plasma model than by an absorbed power-law and are consistent with the observations of GRB 011211, indicating that thermal emission from light elements may be common in the early X-ray afterglows of GRBs.

description: We study Boolean networks which are simple spatial models of the highly conserved Delta-Notch system. The models assume the inhibition of Delta in each cell by Notch in the same cell, and the activation of Notch in presence of Delta in surrounding cells. We consider fully asynchronous dynamics over undirected graphs representing the neighbour relation between cells. In this framework, one can show that all attractors are fixed points for the system, independently of the neighbour relation, for instance by using known properties of simplified versions of the models, where only one species per cell is defined. The fixed points correspond to the so-called fine-grained "patterns" that emerge in discrete and continuous modelling of lateral inhibition. We study the reachability of fixed points, giving a characterisation of the trap spaces and the basins of attraction for both the full and the simplified models. In addition, we use a characterisation of the trap spaces to investigate the robustness of patterns to perturbations. The results of this qualitative analysis can complement and guide simulation-based approaches, and serve as a basis for the investigation of more complex mechanisms.

Drug delivery systems

description: Glioblastoma is the most common adult malignant primary brain tumor with one of the worst prognosis. With a survival of 10 to 12 months, glioblastoma remains one of the most challenging disease to treat. The standard treatment method involves maximal possible resection of the tumor followed by radiation and chemotherapy. However, the short half-life of most chemotherapeutic drugs, high systemic toxicity and inability to cross the blood brain barrier inhibits effective delivery of the chemotherapeutics to the tumor.
      An ideal drug delivery system can reach the tumor site with high efficiency and continuously release the drug at the tumor site for an extended period. Adult stem cells including neural stem cells (NSC) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have inherent tumor trophic properties allowing for site-specific delivery of chemotherapeutics. They can also be genetically engineered to secrete the chemotherapeutic drug continuously making them ideal candidates for cell-based delivery system for treating glioblastoma.
      MSC have been isolated from a wide range of sources including bone marrow, umbilical cord, adipose tissue, liver, multiple dental tissues and induced pluripotent stem cells. MSC are also easily amenable to viral modification allowing for easy manipulation to produce chemotherapeutic drugs. Additionally, more than 350 clinical trials using MSC have successfully established the safety of using MSC for cell-based therapies. Collectively these factors have led to the widespread use of MSC in cancer therapy. MSC have been successfully transduced to produce chemotherapeutic drugs to treat glioma, melanoma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer.
      Despite the multitudes of advantages that cell therapy provides they are limited in three main domains (1) Low cell retention and survival at the site of the tumor (2) In ability to co-deliver multiple therapeutics and (3) In ability to deliver drugs other than peptide based drugs. This thesis details the work to engineer mesenchymal stem cells to tackle these three issues and develop a system that can increase the efficacy of glioblastoma treatment.
      To increase the cellular retention and survival we engineered MSC to form multicellular spheroids and cell sheets. To co-delivery multiple therapeutics we engineered MSC to form MSC/DNA-templated nanoparticle hybrid cluster to co-deliver drugs for cancer therapy. The system showed superior performance due to the increased retention of the cells and nanoparticle at the tumor site. Finally, to deliver drugs other peptide based we engineered graphene oxide cellular patches for mesenchymal stem cells. Graphene oxide can carry diverse therapeutics and can kill the cancer cells without affecting the cellular viability of MSC.

description: Background: We studied humoral and cellular responses against SARS-CoV-2 longitudinally in a homogeneous population of healthy young/middle-aged men of South Asian ethnicity with mild COVID-19. Methods: In total, we recruited 994 men (median age: 34 years) post-COVID-19 diagnosis. Repeated cross-sectional surveys were conducted between May 2020 and January 2021 at six time points – day 28 (n = 327), day 80 (n = 202), day 105 (n = 294), day 140 (n = 172), day 180 (n = 758), and day 280 (n = 311). Three commercial assays were used to detect anti-nucleoprotein (NP) and neutralizing antibodies. T cell response specific for Spike, Membrane and NP SARS-CoV-2 proteins was tested in 85 patients at day 105, 180, and 280. Results: All serological tests displayed different kinetics of progressive antibody reduction while the frequency of T cells specific for different structural SARS-CoV-2 proteins was stable over time. Both showed a marked heterogeneity of magnitude among the studied cohort. Comparatively, cellular responses lasted longer than humoral responses and were still detectable nine months after infection in the individuals who lost antibody detection. Correlation between T cell frequencies and all antibodies was lost over time. Conclusion: Humoral and cellular immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is induced with differing kinetics of persistence in those with mild disease. The magnitude of T cells and antibodies is highly heterogeneous in a homogeneous study population. These observations have implications for COVID-19 surveillance, vaccination strategies, and post-pandemic planning.

description: Crystallization of water or water-encaged gas molecules occurs when nuclei reach a critical size. Certain antifreeze proteins (AFPs) can inhibit the growth of both of these, with most representations conceiving of an embryonic crystal with AFPs adsorbing to a preferred face, resulting in a higher kinetic barrier for molecule addition. We have examined AFP-mediated inhibition of ice and clathrate hydrate crystallization, and these observations can be both explained and modeled using this mechanism for AFP action. However, the remarkable ability of AFPs to eliminate „memory effect‟ (ME) or the faster reformation of clathrate hydrates after melting, prompted us to examine heterogeneous nucleation. The ubiquitous impurity, silica, served as a model nucleator hydrophilic surface. Quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation (QCM-D) experiments indicated that an active AFP was tightly adsorbed to the silica surface. In contrast, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinylcaprolactam (PVCap), two commercial hydrate kinetic inhibitors that do not eliminate ME, were not so tightly adsorbed. Significantly, a mutant AFP (with no activity toward ice) inhibited THF hydrate growth, but not ME. QCM-D analysis showed that adsorption of the mutant AFP was more similar to PVCap than the active AFP. Thus, although there is no evidence for „memory‟ in ice reformation, and the structures of ice and clathrate hydrate are distinct, the crystallization of ice and hydrates, and the elimination of the more rapid recrystallization of hydrates, can be mediated by the same proteins.

description: Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN/Taz gene which encodes a transacylase required for cardiolipin remodeling. Cardiolipin is a mitochondrial signature phospholipid that plays a pivotal role in maintaining mitochondrial membrane structure, respiration, mtDNA biogenesis, and mitophagy. Mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene deplete mature cardiolipin, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, dilated cardiomyopathy, and premature death in BTHS patients. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this debilitating condition. In this study, we showed that TAFAZZIN deficiency caused hyperactivation of MTORC1 signaling and defective mitophagy, leading to accumulation of autophagic vacuoles and dysfunctional mitochondria in the heart of Tafazzin knockdown mice, a rodent model of BTHS. Consequently, treatment of TAFAZZIN knockdown mice with rapamycin, a potent inhibitor of MTORC1, not only restored mitophagy, but also mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction and dilated cardiomyopathy. Taken together, these findings identify MTORC1 as a novel therapeutic target for BTHS, suggesting that pharmacological restoration of mitophagy may provide a novel treatment for BTHS.

description: We consider Feynman integrals with algebraic leading singularities and total differentials in $ε\,\mathrm{d}\ln$ form. We show for the first time that it is possible to evaluate integrals with singularities involving unrationalizable roots in terms of conventional multiple polylogarithms, by either parametric integration or matching the symbol. As our main application, we evaluate the two-loop master integrals relevant to the $αα_s$ corrections to Drell-Yan lepton pair production at hadron colliders. We optimize our functional basis to allow for fast and stable numerical evaluations in the physical region of phase space.

description: Tribe Platyphyllini Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895   Comments. This tribe comprises 19 genera and 73 valid species, with a continental distribution between Brazil and Mexico, and a unique insular and monotypic genus, Antillophyllum Beier, 1960, from Jamaica (Cigliano et al., 2021). Platyphyllini differs from the other tribes by the following characteristics: 1. Anterior margin of pronotum convex and usually projected forward. 2. Striae of the mesosternum in a mid-caudal direction, extending from the anterior margin, into the lateral portion of the transverse sulcus, wich is usually long. 3. Metafurcal furrow as a groove with paired holes in a widely separated internal process. 4. Costal margin of tegmina uniformly narrowed, anal margin more strongly curved than the costal margin, which is slightly straight. 5. Main veins frequently indistinct, very fine, and densely reticulated, giving a stippled appearance to the tegmina. 6. Male terminalia without conspicuous modifications, with some exceptions in some species of Triencentrus and Xiphophyllum Beier, 1960. 7. Ovipositor as long as hind femur or longer, wide, usually straight or slightly curved, and with some denticulations on the dorsal margin.

description: We present a strong evidence for the magnetic confinement in QCD by demonstrating that the one loop effective action of SU(2) QCD induces a dynamical symmetry breaking thorugh the monopole condensation, which could induce the dual Meissner effect and guarantee the confinement of color in the non-Abelian gauge theory. The result is obtained by separating the topological degrees which describes the non-Abelian monopoles from the dynamical degrees of the potential, and integrating out all the dynamical degrees of QCD.

description: We exhibit new examples of double Kodaira fibrations by using finite Galois covers of a product $Σ_b \times Σ_b$, where $Σ_b$ is a smooth projective curve of genus $b \geq 2$. Each cover is obtained by providing an explicit group epimorphism from the pure braid group $\mathsf{P}_2(Σ_b)$ to some finite Heisenberg group. In this way, we are able to show that every curve of genus $b$ is the base of a double Kodaira fibration; moreover, the number of pairwise non-isomorphic Kodaira fibred surfaces fibering over a fixed curve $Σ_b$ is at least $\boldsymbolω(b+1)$, where $\boldsymbolω \colon \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ stands for the arithmetic function counting the number of distinct prime factors of a positive integer. As a particular case of our general construction, we obtain a real $4$-manifold of signature $144$ that can be realized as a real surface bundle over a surface of genus $2$, with fibre genus $325$, in two different ways. This provides (to our knowledge) the first "double" solution to a problem from Kirby's list in low-dimensional topology.

description: The macroscopic properties of polymeric fluids are inherited from the material properties of the fibers embedded in the solvent. The behavior of such passive fibers in flow has been of interest in a wide range of systems, including cellular mechanics, nutrient aquisition by diatom chains in the ocean, and industrial applications such as paper manufacturing. The rotational dynamics and shape evolution of fibers in shear depends upon the slenderness of the fiber and the non-dimensional "elasto-viscous" number that measures the ratio of the fluid's viscous forces to the fiber's elastic forces. For a small elasto-viscous number, the nearly-rigid fiber rotates in the shear, but when the elasto-viscous number reaches a threshhold, buckling occurs. For even larger elasto-viscous numbers, there is a transition to a "snaking behavior" where the fiber remains aligned with the shear axis, but its ends curl in, in opposite directions. These experimentally-observed behaviors have recently been characterized computationally using slender-body theory and immersed boundary computations. However, classical experiments with nylon fibers and recent experiments with actin filaments have demonstrated that for even larger elasto-viscous numbers, multiple buckling sites and coiling can occur. Using a regularized Stokeslet framework coupled with a kernel independent fast multipole method, we present simulations that capture these complex fiber dynamics.
