description: We present a formulation for the construction of first order equations which describe particles with spin, in the context of a manifestly covariant relativistic theory governed by an invariant evolution parameter; one obtains a consistent quantized formalism dealing with off-shell particles with spin. Our basic requirement is that the second order equation in the theory is of the Schrödinger-Stueckelberg type, which exhibits features of both the Klein-Gordon and Schrödinger equations. This requirement restricts the structure of the first order equation, in particular, to a chiral form. One thus obtains, in a natural way, a theory of chiral form for massive particles, which may contain both left and right chiralities, or just one of them. We observe that by iterating the first order system, we are able to obtain second order forms containing the transverse and longitudinal momentum relative to a time-like vector $t_μt^μ=-1$ used to maintain covariance of the theory. This time-like vector coincides with the one used by Horwitz, Piron, and Reuse to obtain an invariant positive definite space-time scalar product, which permits the construction of an induced representation for states of a particle with spin. We discuss the currents and continuity equations, and show that these equations of motion and their currents are closely related to the spin and convection parts of the Gordon decomposition of the Dirac current. The transverse and longitudinal aspects of the particle are complementary, and can be treated in a unified manner using a tensor product Hilbert space. Introducing the electromagnetic field we find an equation which gives rise to the correct gyromagnetic ratio, and is fully Hermitian under the proposed scalar product. Finally, we show that the original structure of Dirac's

A Data Annotation Process for Human Activity Recognition in Public Places
Creators: name: Cormier, Mickael
Publisher: name: KIT Scientific Publishing
Year: 2021

description: Behavior analysis of individuals in crowds or groups of people in public places through surveillance cameras gains importance for several different actors. Automatically detecting and understanding pedestrians in real-world uncooperative scenarios is very challenging. Common issues such as limited annotated data, unreliable data and annotation quality, and appropriate use of this data for supervised learning often originate in steps preceding the modeling of specialized neural network architectures. In this report, the necessity and requirements for designing a reliable data annotation process are presented. Some precise ideas for automation through neural networks are discussed in a conceptual manner.

The Effects of Inhomogeneities on Evaluating the mass parameter $Ω_m$ and the cosmological constant $Λ$

description: Analytic expressions for distance-redshift relations which have been corrected for the effects of inhomogeneities in the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) mass density are given in terms of Heun functions and are used to illustrate the significance of inhomogeneities on a determination of the mass parameter $Ω_m$ and the cosmological constant $Λ$. The values of these parameters inferred from a given set of observations depend on the fractional amount of matter in inhomogeneities and can significantly differ from those obtained by using the standard magnitude-redshift ($m$-$z$) result for pure dust FLRW models. As an example a determination of $Ω_m$ made by applying the homogeneous distance-redshift relation to SN 1997ap at $z=0.83$ could be as much as 50% lower than its true value.

description: Fusion rules for Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models at fractional level can be defined in two ways, with distinct results. The Verlinde formula yields fusion coefficients that can be negative. These signs cancel in coset fusion rules, however. On the other hand, the fusion coefficients calculated from decoupling of singular vectors are non-negative. They produce incorrect coset fusion rules, however, when factorisation is assumed. Here we give two prescriptions that yield the correct coset fusion rules from those found for the WZW models by the decoupling method. We restrict to the Virasoro minimal models for simplicity, and because decoupling results are only complete in the $\su(2)$ case.

description: Henry La Brie's 1971 interview with Nathaniel Williams begins with an overview of Williams' early life, education, and professional experience. Next, La Brie asks Williams what types of stories are newsworthy, if he has thought his newspapers as being black, how black newspapers have changed over time, and if and how the black press has failed or succeeded. They discuss the distinguishing features, future, and ownership of the black press. Williams talks about his first encounters with the black press, how to measure a black newspaper's success, and the differences between the black and white press. La Brie asks about the black press as a political vehicle, advertising in black newspapers, and if black readers trust black newspapers more than white ones. They discuss why readers buy black newspapers, if black newspapers should target white readers, and if the black press is effective as a voice of protest. Williams explains why more black dailies and a black wire service are needed. After discussions of differences between the black press in the North and South and black newspapers' reliance on advertising and circulation, the interview concludes with La Brie asking if white establishment newspapers have been more representative in coverage of minority affairs since the Kerner Commission Report.

description: Weak gravitational lensing depends on the integrated mass along the line of sight. Baryons contribute to the mass distribution of galaxy clusters and the resulting mass estimates from lensing analysis. We use the cosmo-OWLS suite of hydrodynamic simulations to investigate the impact of baryonic processes on the bias and scatter of weak lensing mass estimates of clusters. These estimates are obtained by fitting NFW profiles to mock data using MCMC techniques. In particular, we examine the difference in estimates between dark matter-only runs and those including various prescriptions for baryonic physics. We find no significant difference in the mass bias when baryonic physics is included, though the overall mass estimates are suppressed when feedback from AGN is included. For lowest-mass systems for which a reliable mass can be obtained ($M_{200} \approx 2 \times 10^{14}$ $M_{\odot}$), we find a bias of $\approx -10$ per cent. The magnitude of the bias tends to decrease for higher mass clusters, consistent with no bias for the most massive clusters which have masses comparable to those found in the CLASH and HFF samples. For the lowest mass clusters, the mass bias is particularly sensitive to the fit radii and the limits placed on the concentration prior, rendering reliable mass estimates difficult. The scatter in mass estimates between the dark matter-only and the various baryonic runs is less than between different projections of individual clusters, highlighting the importance of triaxiality.

title: Effects of subinhibitory ofloxacin on selected genetic processes among enterobacteria
Creators: name: Abbott, Allan W.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Pharmacology.

description: The fluorinated 4-quinolone, ofloxacin, interacts with, and inhibits the negative DNA supercoiling activity of the bacterial tetrameric enzyme, DNA gyrase. DNA gyrase is one of several topoisoraerases that homeostatically regulates the tertiary structure and function of both chromosomal and plasmid DNA. Inhibition of this process is recognised as the precursor to a cascade of cytopathic events that leads to bacterial death. It is recognised that in stationary phase, changes in gene expression promote diverse mechanisms in bacteria to maintain their 'living state'. Analysis of changes in stationary phase has become increasingly important, since Enterobacteria in many environments are in a constant state of stationary phase primarily through nutrient competition, and that rapid growth is not possible. The transposition of Tn7 into the IncP plasmid RP4, and the stability and variation of a natural co integrate plasmid, pOG669, were studied in E. coli K12. The reversion of a spontaneous pleiotropic mutant of Serratia marcescens was investigated in relation to both different growth conditions together with pigmentation and antibiotic resistance. In each of the experimental systems the time course was extended to incorporate possible changes that occurred in stationary phase. Restriction endonuclease fragmentation patterns (REFP) techniques were used to identify DNA rearrangements in the co-integrate R-plasmid pOG669 and to analyse the insertion of Tn7 into RP4. Subinhibitory ofloxacin lead to DNA rearrangements, that encompassed alteratioyn the insertion of Tn7, IncX & IncP plasmid maintenance and expression of antibiotic resistance. Subinhibitory ofloxacin significantly altered the distribution of Tn7 insertion in multiple sites within RP4. Most Tn7 insertions were found to be increased in the 22.2kb Kpnl-SmaI fragment and reduced in the 5kb KpnI-SmaI RP4 fragment. Although, fewer insertions were found in the other KpnI-SmaI fragments in RP4, subinhibitory ofloxacin reduced insertions into the 8.5kb and 5.8 fragments. It is proposed this high and low density of Tn7 insertions results from changes in local DNA superhelicity, and led to exposure of insertion sites to Tn7. Preliminary evidence suggests the tra3 and trfA genes may be contiguous in the RP4 molecule, since no Tn7 insertions were detected in these regions. This study has demonstrated that changes in antibiotic expression are induced by subinhibitory ofloxacin, as observed in the plasmids pOG669 and RP4. The mobility of these plasmids are also influenced by subinhibitory ofloxacin through their elimination. The insertion and transposition of Tn7 and therefore mobility and transposon resistance determinants have also been influenced by subinhibitory ofloxacin. Therefore, the results presented in this study describe ofloxacin to act on several genetic processes. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.).

Generation and testing of an anti-idiotype that acts as a surrogate antigen for oxidized LDL (OxLDL) in serological studies measuring anti-OxLDL antibodies
Creators: name: Chang, Shang-Hung
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Atherosclerosis is thought to be mediated by immune response in which oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) is one of the major antigens. The exact linkage between anti-OxLDL antibodies and atherosclerosis, however, is controversial. One of the sources of this controversy is the inherently heterogeneous and complex nature of OxLDL as an antigen. This study aims to identify and characterise a new type of structurally definable surrogate antigen for OxLDL for use in serologic assays. The study applied two techniques for cloning antibodies. The first step was the generation of a monoclonal anti-OxLDL antibody, designated LO-1, by fusing mouse B cells and myeloma cells. The mouse used in this fusion was not immunized but fed with high fat diet to reflect the physiologic but hyperlipidemic immune environment. The second step was to use a phage display system (Tomlinson library of single chain variable antibody fragments) to screen anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-id) against an anti-OxLDL monoclonal antibody generated from that mouse. The anti-id selected for further characterisation, was designated H3. This anti-id, which probably mimics both peptide and lipid components of OxLDL, was used as an antigen in a serologic assay (both in mice and humans) and compared with ordinary OxLDL antigens conventionally used by earlier researchers. Titres of antibodies against H3 correlated well with antibodies against malondialdehyde-conjugated LDL. Although the overall performance of anti-H3 antibodies was no better than conventional anti-OxLDL assays in predicting atherosclerosis, they showed an inverse relationship with the extent of left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis in patients with established coronary artery disease. This project has developed a novel approach to measuring OxLDL antibodies. The proposed unique mimicry of both the lipoprotein and the phospholipid components of OxLDL may reveal a functionally significant epitope of OxLDL that has not been successfully mapped by previously reported methodologies. The novel anti-id H3 and the corresponding mimetic region of OxLDL therefore provide new insight and new tools for future research on the humoral response related to atherosclerosis.
A note on the S-matrix bootstrap for the 2d O(N) bosonic model

description: In this work we apply the S-matrix bootstrap maximization program to the 2d bosonic O(N) integrable model which has N species of scalar particles of mass m and no bound states. Since in previous studies theories were defined by maximizing the coupling between particles and their bound states, the main problem appears to be to find what other functional can be used to define this model. Instead, we argue that the defining property of this integrable model is that it resides at a vertex of the convex space determined by the unitarity and crossing constraints. Thus, the integrable model can be found by maximizing any linear functional whose gradient points in the general direction of the vertex, namely within a cone determined by the normals to the faces intersecting at the vertex. This is a standard problem in applied mathematics, related to semi-definite programming and solvable by fast available numerical algorithms. The information provided by the numerical solution is enough to reproduce the known analytical solution without using integrability, namely the Yang-Baxter equation. This situation seems quite generic so we expect that other theories without continuous parameters can also be found by maximizing linear functionals in the convex space of allowed S-matrices.

description: We present a lattice QCD study of the puzzling positive-parity nucleon channel, where the Roper resonance $N^*(1440)$ resides in experiment. The study is based on an ensemble of gauge configurations with $N_f=2+1$ Wilson-clover fermions with a pion mass of $156$ MeV and lattice size $L=2.9$ fm. We use several $qqq$ interpolating fields combined with $Nπ$ and $Nσ$ two-hadron operators in calculating the energy spectrum in the rest frame. Combining experimental $Nπ$ phase shifts with elastic approximation and the Lüscher formalism suggests in the spectrum an additional energy level near the Roper mass $m_R=1.43$ GeV for our lattice. We do not observe any such additional energy level, which implies that $Nπ$ elastic scattering alone does not render a low-lying Roper resonance. The current status indicates that the $N^*(1440)$ might arise as dynamically generated resonance from coupling to other channels, most notably the $Nππ$.

The role of microRNA in regulation of lineage-specific gene expression through the cell cycle
Creators: name: Graham, Bryony Jane
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The establishment and maintenance of highly specialised cell lineages is fundamental to the development of multicellular organisms. Cell identity is determined by specific transcriptional profiles, which are mediated by sequence-specific, chromatin-based and post-transcriptional mechanisms of gene regulation. Changes in cell morphology and chromatin structure which occur during the cell cycle present a challenge to the maintenance of lineage-specific gene expression profiles. This study investigates the role of post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs in stabilising cell-specific gene expression through the process of cell growth and division. Data presented here show that microRNAs are inherited through mitosis in mammalian cells, and are capable of regulating target gene expression in recipient daughter cells. Genome-wide expression analysis indicates that key developmentally regulated genes marked by a bivalent chromatin signature are globally upregulated in microRNA-deficient ES cells. Binding sites for ES cell-specific microRNAs are significantly enriched in the 3'UTR of these transcripts compared to the rest of the transcriptome, strongly suggesting that microRNAs contribute to maintenance of ES cell identity by co-ordinately regulating multiple lineage inappropriate genes. Finally, analysis of the expression of validated microRNA targets and bivalent genes throughout the cell cycle shows that transcripts from these genes accumulate in G2/M to a greater extent in microRNA-deficient ES cells than in wildtype cells. Taken together, data presented in this study support a role for microRNAs in regulation of lineage-specific gene expression through the cell cycle.

Chemical-looping combustion : investigation of Cu-based oxygen carriers
Creators: name: Okpoko, Egwono Kelvin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a process developed to efficiently combust hydrocarbon fuels and at the same time capture CO2 without an additional energy intensive separation unit. CLC is a two-stage process which involves supplying oxygen to the fuel for combustion with an oxygen carrier and the same oxygen carrier is regenerated back to its original state with air in a subsequent reactor, prior to recycling. CLC is potentially economically and financially viable, and depending on the design, a variety of products can be obtained. Hydrogen and syngas are two very important products useful for power generation and intermediates in the chemical industry. This project focuses on studying the CLC process, with issues related to the development of suitable oxygen carriers for complete fuel combustion as well as assessing their performances under different process conditions. A 500 W laboratory-scale fixed-bed reactor was designed and built, and was used to investigate the reaction kinetics and performance of suitable oxygen carriers. Particles composed of 40, 60 and 80 wt.% CuO supported on Al2O3 were prepared by co-precipitation methods with Na2CO3 and NH4OH. Ideal pH conditions ranged between 8.5 – 9.7 and 4.4 – 6.0 for precipitation with Na2CO3 and NH4OH respectively. X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD) revealed the presence of CuO and CuAl2O4, and both species were reducible as observed from the CO/CH4-TPR analysis. The reduction and oxidation kinetics were investigated in a Thermal Gravimetric Analyser (TGA) for particle sizes < 355 μm. Reaction orders with CO, CH4 and O2 were ~ 2, 1.5 and 0.7 respectively and activation energies were in the order O2 > CO > CH4 at T ≤ 700 oC. The reaction mechanism for the reduction and oxidation was investigated, as well as the rate-limiting steps. The reactivities of the Cu-based oxygen carriers over 20 redox cycles were investigated in a TGA and also in a fixed-bed reactor at temperatures ≤ 800 oC. SEM analysis revealed no sign of sintering with the carriers prepared with Na2CO3, but sintering effects were observed with carriers prepared with NH4OH. Overall, the conducted experiments suggest that Cu-based oxygen carriers prepared by co-precipitation are potentially suitable for a CLC system.

description: We report the results of subparsec-scale submillimeter observations towards an embedded high-mass young stellar object in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with ALMA. Complementary infrared data obtained with the AKARI satellite and the Gemini South telescope are also presented. The target infrared point source is spatially resolved into two dense molecular cloud cores; one is associated with a high-mass young stellar object (YSO core), while another is not associated with an infrared source (East core). The two cores are dynamically associated but show different chemical characteristics. Emission lines of CS, C33S, H2CS, SO, SO2, CH3OH, H13CO+, H13CN, SiO, and dust continuum are detected from the observed region. Tentative detection of HDS is also reported. The first detection of CH3OH in the SMC has a strong impact on our understanding of the formation of complex organic molecules in metal-poor environments. The gas temperature is estimated to be ~10 K based on the rotation analysis of CH3OH lines. The fractional abundance of CH3OH gas in the East core is estimated to be (0.5-1.5) x 10^(-8), which is comparable with or marginally higher than those of similar cold sources in our Galaxy despite a factor of five lower metallicity in the SMC. This work provides observational evidence that an organic molecule like CH3OH, which is largely formed on grain surfaces, can be produced even in a significantly lower metallicity environment compared to the solar neighborhood. A possible origin of cold CH3OH gas in the observed dense core is discussed.

description: If primordial scalar and tensor perturbation spectra can be inferred from observations of the cosmic background radiation and large-scale structure, then one might hope to reconstruct a unique single-field inflaton potential capable of generating the observed spectra. In this paper we examine conditions under which such a potential can be reliably reconstructed. For it to be possible at all, the spectra must be well fit by a Taylor series expansion. A complete reconstruction requires a statistically-significant tensor mode to be measured in the microwave background. We find that the observational uncertainties dominate the theoretical error from use of the slow-roll approximation, and conclude that the reconstruction procedure will never insidiously lead to an irrelevant potential.

Transgenesis and conditional lethality in Aedes albopictus
Creators: name: Labbe, Genevieve Marie Catherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is a vector of several arboviruses including dengue and chikungunya. This highly invasive species originates from Southeast Asia and has spread across the world in the last 30 years. It is now established in Europe, North and South America, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean. In the absence of vaccine or antiviral drugs, efficient mosquito control strategies are crucial. Conventional control methods have so far failed to adequately control Ae. albopictus. Using germline transformation technology, a technique known as Release of Insects carrying a Dominant Lethal (RIDL) proposes to enhance the sterile insect technique by replacing irradiation with inherited dominant lethal genes. While this technology has recently shown some success in the field against the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (L.), it remains to be implemented against Ae. albopictus. This thesis presents the development and application of gene transfer and site-specific integration technologies in Ae. albopictus, as well as the creation of tetracycline-repressible, female-specific flightless lines for vector control based on the RIDL method. Germline transformation and site-specific integration were performed using the piggyBac transposon and the ФC31 system, respectively. Ae. albopictus RIDL strains showing a conditional female-specific flightless phenotype were created using both the Ae. aegypti and the Ae. albopictus Actin-4 regulatory regions. Conditionality was provided by the ‘Tet-Off’ system, which is suppressed in the presence of tetracycline (and suitable analogues). One of these strains was assessed for attributes relevant to a RIDL control programme. Specific tailoring of the RIDL transgene with alternative transactivator elements was investigated using the ФC31 system. The work presented in this thesis lays the foundations for the application of the RIDL strategy to Ae. albopictus, an innovative vector-control method offering a promising alternative for efficient control of this highly invasive insect.

S-Duality, Noncritical Open String and Noncommutative Gauge Theory

description: We examine several aspects of S-duality of four-dimensional noncommutative gauge theory. By making duality transformation explicit, we find that S-dual of noncommutative gauge theory is defined in terms of dual noncommutative deformation. In `magnetic' noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, we show that, in addition to gauge bosons, open D-strings constitute important low-energy excitations: noncritical open D-strings. Upon S-duality, they are mapped to noncritical open F-strings. We propose that, in dual `electric' noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, the latters are identified with gauge-invariant, open Wilson lines. We argue that the open Wilson lines are chiral due to underlying parity noninvariance and obey spacetime uncertainty relation. We finally argue that, at high energy-momentum limit, the `electric' noncommutative gauge theory describes correctly dynamics of delocalized multiple F-strings.

description: We present a new approach for video-driven animation of high-quality neural 3D head models, addressing the challenge of person-independent animation from video input. Typically, high-quality generative models are learned for specific individuals from multi-view video footage, resulting in person-specific latent representations that drive the generation process. In order to achieve person-independent animation from video input, we introduce an LSTM-based animation network capable of translating person-independent expression features into personalized animation parameters of person-specific 3D head models. Our approach combines the advantages of personalized head models (high quality and realism) with the convenience of video-driven animation employing multi-person facial performance capture. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on synthesized animations with high quality based on different source videos as well as an ablation study.
The Trouble with Hubble Types in the Virgo Cluster

description: Quantitative measures of central light concentration and star formation activity are derived from R and Halpha surface photometry of 84 bright S0-Scd Virgo Cluster and isolated spiral galaxies. For isolated spirals, there is a good correlation between these two parameters and assigned Hubble types. In the Virgo Cluster, the correlation between central light concentration and star formation activity is significantly weaker. Virgo Cluster spirals have systematically reduced global star formation with respect to isolated spirals, with severe reduction in the outer disk, but normal or enhanced activity in the inner disk. Assigned Hubble types are thus inadequate to describe the range in morphologies of bright Virgo Cluster spirals. In particular, spirals with reduced global star formation activity are often assigned misleading early-type classifications, irrespective of their central light concentrations. 45+-25% of the galaxies classified as Sa in the Virgo Cluster sample have central light concentrations more characteristic of isolated Sb-Sc galaxies. The misleading classification of low concentration galaxies with low star formation rates as early-type spirals may account for part of the excess of `early-type' spiral galaxies in clusters. Thus the morphology-density relationship is not all due to a systematic increase in the bulge-to-disk ratio with environmental density.

description: In the presence of internal magnetic fields, a D9 brane can acquire a D5 (or anti-D5) R-R charge, and can therefore contribute to the corresponding tadpole. In the resulting vacua, supersymmetry is generically broken and tachyonic instabilities are present. However, suitable choices for the magnetic fields, corresponding to self-dual configurations in the internal space, can yield new chiral supersymmetric vacua with gauge groups of reduced rank, where the magnetic energy saturates, partly or fully, the negative tension of the O5+ planes. These models contain Green-Schwarz couplings to untwisted R-R forms not present in conventional orientifolds.

Self-Stirring of Debris Discs by Planetesimals Formed by Pebble Concentration

description: When a protoplanetary disc loses gas, it leaves behind planets and one or more planetesimal belts. The belts get dynamically excited, either by planets ('planet stirring') or by embedded big planetesimals ('self-stirring'). Collisions between planetesimals become destructive and start to produce dust, creating an observable debris disc. Following Kenyon & Bromley (2008), it is often assumed that self-stirring starts to operate as soon as the first ~1000 km-sized embedded 'Plutos' have formed. However, state-of-the-art pebble concentration models robustly predict planetesimals between a few km and ~200 km in size to form in protoplanetary discs rapidly, before then slowly growing into Pluto-sized bodies. We show that the timescale, on which these planetesimals excite the disc sufficiently for fragmentation, is shorter than the formation timescale of Plutos. Using an analytic model based on the Ida & Makino (1993) theory, backed up by numerical integrations, we find the excitation timescale to be $T_{\rm excite} \approx 100 x_{\rm m}^{-1} M_*^{-3/2} a^3$ Myr, where $x_{\rm m}$ is the total mass of a protoplanetary disc progenitor in the units of the Minimum-Mass Solar Nebula, $a$ its radius in the units of 100 AU, and $M_*$ is the stellar mass in solar masses. These results are applied to a set of 23 debris discs that have been well resolved with ALMA or SMA. We find that the majority of these discs are consistent with being self-stirred. However, three large discs around young early-type stars do require planets as stirrers. These are 49 Cet, HD 95086, and HR 8799, of which the latter two are already known to have planets.
