Isolation and Characterisation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Creators: name: Vaghjiani, Rasilaben Jethalal
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: MSCs have great therapeutic potential and are currently used in various clinical trials. However, the extremely low frequency of MSCs and the absence of a known cell-specific marker have made their purification and identification a highly challenging goal. Our hypothesis is that identification of a MSC specific cell surface marker would facilitate isolation of a pure population of MSCs, which in clinical studies may enhance the subsequent regenerative effect in comparison to a heterogeneous MSC population. Our aim therefore was to attempt to identify such MSC-specific markers using a transcriptomics approach. Individual clones were isolated after seeding bone marrow mononuclear cells from BALB/b and BALB/c mice in 5% oxygen tension. All clones had the ability to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts, and to self-renew, and were therefore functionally characterised as MSCs. All murine MSC clones consistently expressed very high levels of Sca-1. Cytogenetic analysis of clones revealed an abnormal karyotype of 69 chromosomes and transplantation of cells into immuno-compromised SCID mice revealed no evidence of tumour formation after 7 months indicating that cells were not malignant. A rigorous genome-wide supervised microarray analysis revealed six genes were differentially expressed on the MSC clones in comparison to various controls - STEAP1, STEAP2, ly6f, versican, vitamin D receptor, and H2-M9. Two-dimensional hierarchical clustering of 28 different arrays revealed both STEAP genes and vitamin D receptor also had a similar expression pattern to Sca-1. Thus STEAP1 and STEAP2 were the only two cell membrane protein encoding genes identified by both analysis methods. Importantly, flow cytometry analysis revealed STEAP2 was differentially expressed in normal diploid multipotent human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) compared to fibroblasts and freshly isolated bone marrow cells. Furthermore, western blot analysis revealed STEAP1 was significantly expressed in hBMSCs, but not by human fibroblasts or human chondrocytes. STEAP1 depletion by RNA interference resulted in decreased cell adherence to tissue culture plastic. Results suggest STEAP1 and STEAP2 may be novel MSC markers in murine and in human cells. Further work is needed to elucidate their role in MSCs and to establish their usefulness as potential cell-specific markers.

description: In a deep-infrared (ergodic) regime, QCD coupled to massive pseudoreal and real quarks are described by chiral orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of random matrices. Using this correspondence, general expressions for the QCD partition functions are derived in terms of microscopically rescaled mass variables. In limited cases, correlation functions of Dirac eigenvalues and distributions of the smallest Dirac eigenvalue are given as ratios of these partition functions. When all masses are degenerate, our results reproduce the known expressions for the partition functions of zero-dimensional sigma models.

description: Environmental contaminant exposure can pose significant risks to human health. Therefore, evaluating the impact of this exposure is of great importance; however, it is often difficult because both the molecular mechanism of disease and the mode of action of the contaminants are complex. We used network biology techniques to quantitatively assess the impact of environmental contaminants on the human interactome and diseases with a particular focus on seven major contaminant categories: persistent organic pollutants (POPs), dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, perfluorochemicals (PFCs), metals, and pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs). We integrated publicly available data on toxicogenomics, the diseasome, protein-protein interactions (PPIs), and gene essentiality and found that a few contaminants were targeted to many genes, and a few genes were targeted by many contaminants. The contaminant targets were hub proteins in the human PPI network, whereas the target proteins in most categories did not contain abundant essential proteins. Generally, contaminant targets and disease-associated proteins were closely associated with the PPI network, and the closeness of the associations depended on the disease type and chemical category. Network biology techniques were used to identify environmental contaminants with broad effects on the human interactome and contaminant-sensitive biomarkers. Moreover, this method enabled us to quantify the relationship between environmental contaminants and human diseases, which was supported by epidemiological and experimental evidence. These methods and findings have facilitated the elucidation of the complex relationship between environmental exposure and adverse health outcomes.

description: This site consists of a two-story brick structure built c. 1800-1820. It is of rather simple Federal styling, with corbeled eave cornices, flush end chimneys, and a three-bay facade. At one end of the house there is a one-story frame wing that incorporates an early (probably original) and formerly detached kitchen. Although altered in recent years, it retains its large, exterior end chimney. The house stands on property owned by the Society of Jesus from 1649 to 1980, and was possibly built as a residence for priests or as a farm overseer's house. The bulk of the diagnostic artifacts recovered from the Phase lb investigations date to the middle to late 19th century, with a small number of late 18th or early 19th century artifacts. Within the house itself, there is excellent preservation of faunal remains beneath the house floor. The limited test excavations recovered a large amount of bone material and the limited ceramic and glass artifacts recovered indicate a mid- to late-19th century date for these remains. Custer's 1992 Phase II testing within the house clearly showed that the subfloors were badly disturbed by Post-1940 repair of the floors. Diagnostic artifacts indicate that deposits date to the mid-late 19th century with a mix of 20th century artifacts added later. Food and other domestic refuse were deposited through trap doors in hearth areas in both the kitchen and the formal dining room. Diet included both wild game and domestic animals. The inhabitants of the farm were of a middle range socio-economic status.
Topological Sectors and Measures on Moduli Space in Quantum Yang-Mills on a Riemann Surface

description: Previous path integral treatments of Yang-Mills on a Riemann surface automatically sum over principal fiber bundles of all possible topological types in computing quantum expectations. This paper extends the path integral formulation to treat separately each topological sector. The formulation is sufficiently explicit to calculate Wilson line expectations exactly. Further, it suggests two new measures on the moduli space of flat connections, one of which proves to agree with the small-volume limit of the Yang-Mills measure. ©{\em 1996 American Institute of Physics.}

Characterisation of the interaction between Neisseria meningitidis and human polymorphonuclear leukocytes
Creators: name: Corbett, Anne
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: During infection with Neisseria meningitidis, an important causative agent of bacterial meningitis and septicaemia, the host innate immune system clears bacteria by complement-mediated lysis and phagocytosis. In order to evade phagocytosis, the bacterium expresses a number of surface components, including a polysaccharide capsule and sialylated lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The aim of this project was to investigate the influence of bacterial metabolism and DNA repair on the interaction with polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Results demonstrated reduced expression of the polysaccharide capsule and lowered LPS sialylation in a strain (ΔlctP) unable to acquire exogenous lactate, but no effect in a strain unable to utilise glutamate (ΔperM). These changes were associated with increased phagocytosis of fixed bacteria by the human PMN cell line, HL60. Further investigations showed that capsule expression in the ΔlctP strain was restored to wild-type levels following exposure of live bacteria to PMNs. Next, assays were established using primary human PMNs to investigate post-phagocytic events. The wild-type meningococcus survives within PMNs and is able to delay host cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the ΔlctP and ΔperM strains were significantly killed by PMNs, indicating a role for acquisition of both lactate and glutamate for survival in PMNs. Killing was dependent on actin polymerisation and the PMN oxidative burst. The role of the meningococcal Base Excision Repair (BER) DNA repair pathway was also investigated through characterisation of two Apurinic / Apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease paralogues, NExo and NApe. Both exhibit distinct biochemical functions and are required for resistance against oxidative stress. A strain lacking both these enzymes, which is attenuated in vivo, was significantly killed by human PMNs as a result of the oxidative burst.

description: After a brief review of the role three-nucleon forces play in the few-nucleon systems, the chiral-perturbation-theory approach to these forces is discussed. Construction of the (nominal) leading- and subleading-order Born terms and pion-rescattering graphs contributing to two-pion-exchange three-nucleon forces is reviewed, and comparisons are made of the types of such forces that are used today. It is demonstrated that the short-range $c$-term of the Tucson-Melbourne force is unnatural in terms of power counting and should be dropped. The class of two-pion-exchange three-nucleon forces then becomes rather uniform.

Hybrid FPGA: Architecture and Interface
Creators: name: Yu, Chi Wai
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Hybrid FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are composed of general-purpose logic resources with different granularities, together with domain-specific coarse-grained units. This thesis proposes a novel hybrid FPGA architecture with embedded coarse-grained Floating Point Units (FPUs) to improve the floating point capability of FPGAs. Based on the proposed hybrid FPGA architecture, we examine three aspects to optimise the speed and area for domain-specific applications. First, we examine the interface between large coarse-grained embedded blocks (EBs) and fine-grained elements in hybrid FPGAs. The interface includes parameters for varying: (1) aspect ratio of EBs, (2) position of the EBs in the FPGA, (3) I/O pins arrangement of EBs, (4) interconnect flexibility of EBs, and (5) location of additional embedded elements such as memory. Second, we examine the interconnect structure for hybrid FPGAs. We investigate how large and highdensity EBs affect the routing demand for hybrid FPGAs over a set of domain-specific applications. We then propose three routing optimisation methods to meet the additional routing demand introduced by large EBs: (1) identifying the best separation distance between EBs, (2) adding routing switches on EBs to increase routing flexibility, and (3) introducing wider channel width near the edge of EBs. We study and compare the trade-offs in delay, area and routability of these three optimisation methods. Finally, we employ common subgraph extraction to determine the number of floating point adders/subtractors, multipliers and wordblocks in the FPUs. The wordblocks include registers and can implement fixed point operations. We study the area, speed and utilisation trade-offs of the selected FPU subgraphs in a set of floating point benchmark circuits. We develop an optimised coarse-grained FPU, taking into account both architectural and system-level issues. Furthermore, we investigate the trade-offs between granularities and performance by composing small FPUs into a large FPU. The results of this thesis would help design a domain-specific hybrid FPGA to meet user requirements, by optimising for speed, area or a combination of speed and area.
Informational limits in optical polarimetry and vectorial imaging
Creators: name: Foreman, Matthew Roy
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Light has provided the means to learn and gather information about the physical world throughout history. In a world where science moves to smaller scales and more specialised problems however, the boundaries of current technology are continually challenged, motivating the search for more sophisticated systems providing greater information content, sensitivity and increased dimensionality. Utilising the vectorial nature of light presents a promising avenue by which to meet these growing requirements. Polarisation can, for example, be used to transmit information, or alternatively, changes in polarisation induced by an object allow study of previously neglected material properties, such as birefringence and diattenuation. Central to this thesis is thus the characterisation and exploitation of the opportunities afforded by the electromagnetic (i.e. vectorial) nature of light. To this end the work follows three running themes: quantification of polarisation information; formulation of simple propagation tools for electromagnetic waves; and development of specific polarisation based optical systems. Characterising the informational limits inherent to polarisation based systems reduces to considering the uncertainty present in any observations. Uncertainty can, for example, arise from stochastic variation in the polarisation state being measured, or from random noise perturbations upon detection. Both factors are considered and quantified here. Development of vectorial optical systems does, however, pose significant difficulties in modelling, due to mathematical complexity and computational requirements. A number of new tools are hence developed, as prove applicable to a wide variety of applications. Examples are naturally given. To illustrate the potential of polarisation based systems, specific current topics are discussed; namely the growing demand for data storage, and single molecule studies. It will be shown that polarisation, can not only be used to multiplex information in data pits on optical media, but also to allow full 3D study of single molecules. Factors pertinent to such studies are studied in detail.

New Boundary Conformal Field Theories Indexed by the Simply-Laced Lie Algebras

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the field theory of $N$ massless bosons which are free except for an interaction localized on the boundary of their 1+1 dimensional world. The boundary action is the sum of two pieces: a periodic potential and a coupling to a uniform abelian gauge field. Such models arise in open string theory and dissipative quantum mechanics, and possibly in edge state tunneling in the fractional quantized Hall effect. We explicitly show that conformal invariance is unbroken for certain special choices of the gauge field and the periodic potential. These special cases are naturally indexed by semi-simple, simply laced Lie algebras. For each such algebra, we have a discrete series of conformally invariant theories where the potential and gauge field are conveniently given in terms of the weight lattice of the algebra. We compute the exact boundary state for these theories, which explicitly shows the group structure. The partition function and correlation functions are easily computed using the boundary state result.

description: A 2D hydrodynamical model is developed and analyzed for the steady state of a driven-dissipative dust clouds confined in an azimuthally symmetric toroidal system which is in dynamic equilibrium with background unbounded streaming plasma. Its numerical solution not only confirms the analytical structure of the driven dust vortex flow in linear limit as reported in previous analysis, but also shows how the dust vortices are strongly affected by the nonlinear convection of the flow itself. Effects of various system parameters including external driving field and Reynolds number (Re) are investigated within the linear to nonlinear transition regime $0.001\le {\rm Re} < 50$. In agreement with various relevant experimental observations, the flow structure which is symmetric around center in the linear regime begins to turn asymmetric in the nonlinear regime. The equilibrium structure of dust flow is found to be influenced mainly by the dissipation scales due to kinematic viscosity, ion drag, and neutral collision in the nonlinear regime, whereas in the linear regime, it is mainly controlled by the external driving field and the confining boundaries.

description: We calculate microscopically total and parity-projected level densities for $β$-stable even-even nuclei between Fe and Ge, using the shell model Monte Carlo methods in the complete $(pf+0g_{9/2})$-shell. A single-particle level density parameter $a$ and backshift parameter $Δ$ are extracted by fitting the calculated densities to a backshifted Bethe formula, and their systematics are studied across the region. Shell effects are observed in $Δ$ for nuclei with Z=28 or N=28 and in the behavior of $A/a$ as a function of the number of neutrons. We find a significant parity-dependence of the level densities for nuclei with $A \alt 60$, which diminishes as $A$ increases.

description: Flavonoids are important polyphenols, and widely distributed in plants. Anthocyanidin reductase (ANR), a precursor enzyme in (-)- epicatechin synthesis, could play an important role in anthocyanins biosynthesis. In the present study, the ANR gene was cloned from Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon. Compared with VvANR (GenBank Accession No. NM_001280956.1), they differed in only 4 bp and shared similarity of 99.6%. The ANR protein belongs to the cl33424 Superfamily. In addition, many light-responsive elements and abiotic stress-related elements (ABRE, MYB, WRKY, etc.) were found in the promoter region of the ANR gene. STRING analysis predicted that VvMYBPA1 and VvMYBPAR may be involved in regulating the expression of the ANR gene. Different UV-C irradiation times were used for Cabernet Sauvignon berries during grape berry development, and the comparison analysis showed that UV-C irradiation improved significantly the accumulation of catechin and epicatechin during 20–50 days after full bloom, especially, under UV-C irradiation for 5 min. Furthermore, UV-C irradiation for 5 min had a greater effect on the expression of the ANR gene, the accumulation of catechin and epicatechin, and the enzymatic activity of ANR than UV-C irradiation for 10 min. Through the virus-induced gene silencing system, the ANR-silenced grape leaves were chlorotic, in which the contents of catechin and epicatechin were both significantly lower than those in the control, showing a very significant difference, respectively. In summary, our results demonstrated that the ANR gene played a crucial role in the accumulation of epicatechin in grapes, and its expression was upregulated by UV-C irradiation.
Analysis and Design of Stainless Steel Bolted Connections

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The use of stainless steel in construction is steadily growing, with applications designed to exploit its structural properties, durability, appearance and fire resistance. The mechanical behaviour of stainless steel is fundamentally different from that of carbon steel. The stress-strain curve of stainless steel is rounded without a well-defined yield stress and exhibits significant strain hardening at relatively small strains. Nevertheless, design provisions for bolted connections between stainless steel structural members in current international standards are essentially based on the rules for carbon steel with some very limited modifications. As the connections form an essential part of all structural assemblages, a comprehensive understanding of their behaviour is vital for efficient design and consequently better performance of structures. For this reason, an investigation into the behaviour of stainless steel bolted connections has been carried out so as to better understand the response of these structural components. Suitable available test data have been reviewed and replicated using numerical models in order to study the behaviour of lap bolted connections and gusset plate connections in stainless steel under static tensile load. Strain-based criteria were defined to identify three failure modes: net section rupture, bolt shear and bearing failure. The developed FE models were successfully validated against the test results, after which they were employed to meticulously investigate the behaviour of bearing and net section rupture of lap bolted connections, as well as the net section failure of single angles connected to gusset plates. The results demonstrated that the response of stainless steel connections has some different aspects from that of carbon steel. The findings have been used to revise the design rules for net section and bearing capacities in Eurocode 3 Part 1.4. These proposed rules take into account the particular mechanical characteristics of stainless steel and therefore offer an improvement to those currently available.

description: We argue that, at finite temperature, parity invariant non-compact electrodynamics with massive electrons in 2+1 dimensions can exist in both confined and deconfined phases. We show that an order parameter for the confinement-deconfinement phase transition is the Polyakov loop operator whose average measures the free energy of a test charge that is not an integral multiple of the electron charge. The effective field theory for the Polyakov loop operator is a 2-dimensional Euclidean scalar field theory with a global discrete symmetry $Z$, the additive group of the integers. We argue that the realization of this symmetry governs confinement and that the confinement-deconfinement phase transition is of Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type. We compute the effective action to one-loop order and argue that when the electron mass $m$ is much greater than the temperature $T$ and dimensional coupling $e^2$, the effective field theory is the Sine-Gordon model. In this limit, we estimate the critical temperature, $T_{\rm crit.}=e^2/8π(1-e^2/12πm+\ldots)$.

description: Aggregation-induced emission (AIE), as a special phenomenon of fluorescence, can elegantly overcome the fluorescence quenching caused by common fluorescent materials under high concentration conditions and has attracted interest of researchers in many fields. Particularly AIE-active polymer nanoparticles have been widely utilized in a modern biomedical research. In this work, we prepared a novel kind of AIE-active fluorescent polymeric nanoparticals (Dex-OH-CHO) through a facile esterification between a new hydrophobic AIE-active 1, 8-naphthalimide derivative and the hydrophilic dextran. The structure and optical properties of Dex-OH-CHO were characterized in detail by FTIR, 1H NMR, XPS, TEM and fluorescence spectra. The results showed that Dex-OH-CHO emitted light-blue fluorescence in aqueous solution with high fluorescent quantum yield (Φ = 24.43%, concentration is 20 μg/mL), low CMC (5 μg/mL), good photostability, high water solubility and well dispersivity. Moreover, good biocompatibility and ideal cell uptake made Dex-OH-CHO had a great application potential in biological imaging.

An introductory review of the resource theory approach to thermodynamics
Creators: name: Lostaglio, Matteo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I give a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum thermodynamics. I will introduce in an elementary manner the technical machinery necessary to unpack and prove the core statements of the theory. The topics covered include the so-called `many second laws of thermodynamics', thermo-majorisation and symmetry constraints on the evolution of quantum coherence. Among the elementary applications, I explicitly work out the bounds on deterministic work extraction and formation, discuss the complete solution of the theory for a single qubit and present the irreversibility of coherence transfers. The aim is to facilitate the task of those researchers interested in engaging and contributing to this topic, presenting scope and motivation of its core assumptions and discussing the relation between the resource theory and complementary approaches.

The Failure of Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer at Medium to High Optical Depths
Creators: name: Camps, Peter

description: Computer simulations of photon transport through an absorbing and/or scattering medium form an important research tool in astrophysics. Nearly all software codes performing such simulations for three-dimensional geometries employ the Monte Carlo radiative transfer method, including various forms of biasing to accelerate the calculations. Because of the probabilistic nature of the Monte Carlo technique, the outputs are inherently noisy, but it is often assumed that the average values provide the physically correct result. We show that this assumption is not always justified. Specifically, we study the intensity of radiation penetrating an infinite, uniform slab of material that absorbs and scatters the radiation with equal probability. The basic Monte Carlo radiative transfer method, without any biasing mechanisms, starts to break down for transverse optical depths above ~20 because so few of the simulated photon packets reach the other side of the slab. When including biasing techniques such as absorption/scattering splitting and path length stretching, the simulated photon packets do reach the other side of the slab but the biased weights do not necessarily add up to the correct solution. While the noise levels seem to be acceptable, the average values sometimes severely underestimate the correct solution. Detecting these anomalies requires the judicious application of statistical tests, similar to those used in the field of nuclear particle transport, possibly in combination with convergence tests employing consecutively larger numbers of photon packets. In any case, for transverse optical depths above ~75 the Monte Carlo methods used in our study fail to solve the one-dimensional slab problem, implying the need for approximations such as a modified random walk.

Invariant amplitudes for coherent electromagnetic pseudoscalar production from a spin-one target
Creators: name: Arenhoevel, Hartmuth
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A set of 13 linearly independent invariant amplitudes for the electromagnetic production of a pseudoscalar particle from a spin-one particle is derived which respect Lorentz and gauge invariance. The $T$-matrix can be represented by a linear superposition of these amplitudes with invariant functions as coefficients, which depend on the Mandelstam variables only. Their explicit form is determined by the underlying dynamics. Nine of these amplitudes are purely transverse and describe photoproduction. The remaining four appear in electroproduction in addition, describing charge and longitudinal current contributions. Furthermore, a reduction of these amplitudes to operators acting in non-relativistic spin space is given.

description: In this interview, Doctor John E. Sarno discusses his family background, education, career in medicine, and the medical condition Tension Myoneural Syndrome (also known as Tension Myositis Syndrome). Sarno discusses his family background, including his father's immigration from the Avellino Province of Italy, his mother's background in Beacon, New York, and her family's background as Albanian-Italians. Across both sessions of the interview, he describes the different activities of family members and their personalities. Sarno also describes his own youth Greenpoint, Brooklyn, including his attendance at the Horace Mann School for Boys, the importance of the First Italian Baptist Church in his upbringing, spirituality, choral singing, and the influence of minister Antonio Mangano. He discusses three years spent as an undergraduate at Kalamazoo College in Michigan, enlisting in the Air Force upon graduating in 1943, and service in Europe with a MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) unit. Sarno attended Columbia Physicians and Surgeons upon his return from the war, and he describes this experience, as well as a residency at Doctor Howard Rusk's program at New York University, work at a distant cousin's family practice in the Beacon area, the Mid-Hudson Medical Group, and holding the position of head of the out-patient department at New York State Rehabilitation Hospital (now the Helen Hayes Hospital) in Haverstraw, New York. In 1965, Doctor Rusk invited Sarno to take on the role of Director of the Outpatient Department at the Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University Medical Center, which he accepted. Sarno describes Tension Myositis Syndrome (now called Tension Myoneural Syndrome) and its roots in tension buildup of anger and the cognitive fear of the anger which results in repression. He analyzes the philosophical and practical reasons why TMS has not been accepted by the majority of the medical community. Additionally, he briefly mentions his books Mind Over Back Pain and Healing Back Pain: The Mind Body Connection. Sarno also speaks about his recent activities, research and a new book on unconscious mental activity, his family, his first marriage, children, and his second wife, Martha Sarno, who was Director of the Speech-Language Pathology Department and Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at the NYU School of Medicine. The audio also contains a recording of a lecture by John Sarno from December 19, 1998, which was donated to accompany the interview
