description: This paper describes a coplanar non invasive non destructive capacitive imaging device. We first introduce a mathematical model for its output, and discuss some of its theoretical capabilities. We show that the data obtained from this device can be interpreted as a weighted Radon transform of the electrical permittivity of the measured object near its surface. Image reconstructions from experimental data provide good surface resolution as well as short depth imaging, making the apparatus a $2d+1$ imager. The quality of the images leads us to expect that excellent results can be delivered by \emph{ad-hoc} optimized inversion formulas. There are also interesting, yet unexplored, theoretical questions on imaging that this sensor will allow to test.
Characterisation of antagonist binding sites on chemokine receptor CCR4
Creators: name: Viney, Jonathan Mark
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: CCR4 is a chemokine receptor notably expressed on T helper 2 and regulatory T cells. CCR4 binds the chemokines CCL17 and CCL22. These are involved in T cell homeostasis and inflammatory diseases including asthma and atopic dermatitis, making CCR4 a potential therapeutic target. Previous studies suggested that CCL22 is dominant over CCL17 with respect to ligand-induced internalisation and desensitisation of CCR4. The biology of CCR4 was investigated in this project using point mutational studies. A C-terminal lysine within the conserved helix VIII region was determined to be dispensable for CCL22-induced chemotaxis but required for CCL17-induced chemotaxis, suggesting that the two chemokines stabilised distinct receptor conformations. The highly conserved GluVII:06 of helix VII was shown to be critical for chemokine binding and receptor function. Seven small molecule allosteric antagonists of CCR4, supplied by GlaxoSmithKline, were hypothesised to bind either a classical intrahelical site (site 1) within the receptor or a novel intracellular site (site 2). 22 amino acids were predicted to be involved in the binding of the antagonists. Antagonist binding was indirectly investigated by inhibiting either function or chemokine binding of the receptor mutants. Mutation of leucine 118 in transmembrane helix III significantly reduced CCR4 sensitivity to site 1 antagonism in chemotaxis and chemokine-binding assays. Mutants of phenylalanine 305 and leucine 307 at the end of transmembrane helix VII also showed a reduction in antagonist 2 sensitivity. Direct investigation of the effects of mutation on antagonist binding was performed using tritium-labelled antagonists. Mutation of GluVII:06 prevented site 1 antagonist binding to CCR4. Further investigation of site 1 antagonist binding was hindered by high non-specific binding of the compounds. A low-affinity site for the tritium-labelled site 2 antagonist was identified on untransfected cells, possibly within endogenously expressed chemokine receptors. This antagonist therefore may have potential as a broad-spectrum chemokine receptor inhibitor.

description: The inadequacy of Liénard-Wiechert potentials is demonstrated as one of the examples related to the inconsistency of the conventional classical electrodynamics. The insufficiency of the Faraday-Maxwell concept to describe the whole electromagnetic phenomena and the incompleteness of a set of solutions of Maxwell equations are discussed and mathematically proved. Reasons of the introduction of the so-called ``electrodynamics dualism concept" (simultaneous coexistence of instantaneous Newton long-range and Faraday-Maxwell short-range interactions) have been displayed. It is strictly shown that the new concept presents itself as the direct consequence of the complete set of Maxwell equations and makes it possible to consider classical electrodynamics as a self-consistent and complete theory, devoid of inward contradictions. In the framework of the new approach, all main concepts of classical electrodynamics are reconsidered. In particular, a limited class of motion is revealed when accelerated charges do not radiate electromagnetic field.

description: One of the primary objectives of protests and demonstrations is to bring social, political, or economic issues to the attention of politicians and the wider population. While protests can have a mobilizing and persuading effect, they may reduce support for their cause if they are perceived as a threat to public order. In this study, we look at how local or spontaneously organised xenophobic demonstrations affect concerns about hostility towards foreigners and worries about immigration among natives in Germany. We use a regression discontinuity design to compare the attitudes of individuals interviewed in the days immediately before a large far-right demonstration and individuals interviewed in the days immediately after that demonstration. Our results show that large right-wing demonstrations lead to a substantial increase in worries about hostility towards foreigners of 13.7% of a standard deviation. In contrast, worries about immigration are not affected by the demonstrations, indicating that the protesters are not successful in swaying public opinion in their favour. In the heterogeneity analyses, we uncover some polarisation in the population: While worries about hostility against foreigners increase and worries about immigration decrease in left-leaning regions, both types of worries increase in districts where centre-right parties are more successful. Lastly, we also show that people become more politically interested in response to protests, mainly benefiting left-wing parties, and are more likely to wish to donate money to help refugees.

description: Sharp wave‐ripple complexes (SPW‐Rs) are spontaneous oscillatory events that characterize hippocampal activity during resting periods and slow‐wave sleep. SPW‐Rs are related to memory consolidation – the process during which newly acquired memories are transformed into long‐lasting memory traces. To test the involvement of SPW‐Rs in this process, it is crucial to understand how SPW‐Rs originate and propagate throughout the hippocampus. SPW‐Rs can originate in CA3, and they typically spread from CA3 to CA1, but little is known about their formation within CA3. To investigate the generation and propagation of SPW‐Rs in CA3, we recorded from mouse hippocampal slices using multi‐electrode arrays and patch‐clamp electrodes. We characterized extracellular and intracellular correlates of SPW‐Rs and quantified their propagation along the pyramidal cell layer of CA3. We found that a hippocampal slice can be described by a speed and a direction of propagation of SPW‐Rs. The preferred propagation direction was from CA3c (the subfield closer to the dentate gyrus) toward CA3a (the subfield at the boundary to CA2). In patch‐clamp recordings from CA3 pyramidal neurons, propagation was estimated separately for excitatory and inhibitory currents associated with SPW‐Rs. We found that propagation speed and direction of excitatory and inhibitory currents were correlated. The magnitude of the speed of propagation of SPW‐Rs within CA3 was consistent with the speed of propagation of action potentials in axons of CA3 principal cells. image Key points Hippocampal sharp waves are considered important for memory consolidation; therefore, it is of interest to understand the mechanisms of their generation and propagation. Here, we used two different approaches to study the propagation of sharp waves in mouse CA3 in vitro : multi‐electrode arrays and multiple single‐cell recordings. We find a preferred direction of propagation of sharp waves from CA3c toward CA3a – both in the local field potential and in sharp wave‐associated excitatory and inhibitory synaptic activity. The speed of sharp wave propagation is consistent with the speed of action potential propagation along the axons of CA3 pyramidal neurons. These new insights into the dynamics of sharp waves in the CA3 network will inform future experiments and theoretical models of sharp‐wave generation mechanisms.

The Enskog-2σ model, a new viscosity model for simple fluids and alkanes
Creators: name: Umla, Rudolf
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: This thesis describes the development of a new model for viscosity, the Enskog-2σ model. The model is based on Enskog theory in which the viscosity of a hard sphere fluid is computed from the hard sphere interactions on the molecular level. The idea of the Enskog-2σ model is to introduce two effective weakly temperature dependent diameters in Enskog's approach. One of the diameters is linked to the collision rate between the fluid molecules, the other diameter to the molecule size. The optimisation of the two effective temperature dependent diameters allows the Enskog-2σ model to reproduce the viscosity data of simple fluids, i.e. fluids with non-polar, fairly spherical molecules, very well over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. For argon, for example, the model covers a pressure range from 0 to 400 MPa and temperatures from 0.6Tc to 4:6Tc (Tc = critical temperature of argon) and correlates the experimental reference correlation within ±10%. Making use of the universal behavior of the diameters for various simple fluids, the number of free parameters can be reduced to one or two constant scaling parameters that can be predicted well from viscosity data along one isotherm. The Enskog-2σ approach has been extended to model n-alkanes from ethane to octane. The molecules of n-alkanes are described as chains of equally sized hard spheres and a collision between two chains is modelled as collision between two spherical segments of the colliding chains. The Enskog-2σ model for n-alkanes contains two effective weakly temperature dependent chain lengths. The number of free parameters can be reduced by relating the chain lengths to the carbon number or to the chain lengths of a reference n-alkane. The remaining free parameters can usually be determined satisfactorily from viscosity data along one isotherm.
Scoring Alternative Forecast Distributions: Completing the Kullback Distance Complex

description: We develop two surprising new results regarding the use of proper scoring rules for evaluating the predictive quality of two alternative sequential forecast distributions. Both of the proponents prefer to be awarded a score derived from the other's distribution rather than a score awarded on the basis of their own. A Pareto optimal exchange of their scoring outcomes provides the basis for a comparison of forecast quality that is preferred by both forecasters, and also evades a feature of arbitrariness inherent in using the forecasters' own achieved scores. The well-known Kullback divergence, used as a measure of information, is evaluated via the entropies in the two forecast distributions and the two cross-entropies between them. We show that Kullback's symmetric measure needs to be appended by three component measures if it is to characterise completely the information content of the two asserted probability forecasts. Two of these do not involve entropies at all. The resulting 'Kullback complex' supported by the 4-dimensional measure is isomorphic to an equivalent vector measure generated by the forecasters' expectations of their scores, each for one's own score and for the other's score. We foreshadow the results of a sophisticated application of the Pareto relative scoring procedure for actual sequentional observations, and we propose a standard format for evaluation.
Growth of energy density for Klein-Gordon equation coupled to a chaotic oscillator
Creators: name: Warner, Christopher
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: A system consisting of a localised object (an oscillator) coupled to a Klein-Gordon field is considered, where the field is, initially, endowed with infinite energy. For the finite energy case, it is known that the oscillator must lose the energy due to coupling to the field, and the system eventually goes into the ground state. It is shown that if the oscillator is chaotic, then energy may be transferred from the wave field to the oscillator, and the particle can undergo an unbounded acceleration. The coupled system gives rise to a slow-fast system with delay term. By means of a reduction to an invariant manifold the problem is reduced to the study of a slow-fast system of ordinary differential equations. By choosing an appropriate potential function for the particle (confining, steep, and scattering), the oscillator can be made arbitrarily close to any scattering billiard. In the frozen system then, there exists a uniformly hyperbolic invariant set, a horseshoe, supported by a pair of hyperbolic periodic orbits connected by transverse heteroclinics, which also persists in the full system. A trajectory can then be constructed, switching between small neighbourhoods of these periodic orbits, such that, over a long-time period, the particle accelerates up to any predetermined finite level. The results give a first example of an extended Hamiltonian dynamical system with positively defined energy density for which local energy density can grow without bounds.

description: Mit der Dissertation Befreiung der Form! Von der Stilkomposition zur Freihandskizze im Architekturentwurf Karl Mosers wurde die zeichnerische Entwicklung im Entwurfsprozess einer der führenden Schweizer Architekten um 1900 untersucht. Um die ideengeschichtlichen Bezugspunkte und die kontextuelle Einbettung seiner Arbeiten zu verstehen, wurden zuerst die Studienausbildung und die ersten Projekte betrachtet, um dann folgend an mehreren Projektplanungen den Entwurfsprozess zu analysieren. Die Darstellbarkeit von Architektur war für Moser ein Problem, dem er sich während seiner gesamten beruflichen Vita widmete. Es gibt hierzu etliche Äusserungen in seinen schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen. Skizzen und Entwurfszeichnungen sind denn auch das Hauptmaterial, das in dieser Arbeit analysiert wird. Ein grosser Teil der über 500 Tage- und Skizzenbücher des Architekten Mosers wurden für die Untersuchung ausgewertet, was aufgrund der vorgefundenen Ideenskizzen neue Erkenntnisse über diverse Bauprojekte zu Tage förderte. Die Analyse der Skizzen und Notizen lässt die Entwurfshaltung Mosers nun besser verorten und gibt punktuell auch ideengeschichtliche Einblicke in eine Zeit grosser Umbrüche der Architekturentwicklung.
Die Arbeiten Mosers fallen architektur- und kunsthistorisch in eine besondere Zeitspanne um 1900, in der die autonome Freihandskizze sich vom Hilfsinstrument zu einem eigenständigen Mittel des Entwurfs und der Darstellung entwickelt. Damit läuft im Architekturentwurf die Entwicklung parallel zur künstlerischen jener Zeit. In einer beständigen darstellerischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem historischen Artefakt und seinem persönlichen Engagement auf dem Feld der Kunst, waren es schliesslich die Berge als anschaulichste aller räumlichen und körperhaften Objekte, anhand derer Moser das zeichnerische Fassen des allgemein Architektonischen einüben konnte. In der Schulung der Fähigkeit, Raum zeichnerisch mittels tektonischen Aufbaus zu gestalten, darin lag für Moser der Schlüssel zur Weiterentwicklung einer zeitgemässen Architektur. Er befreite die Form aus ihrer mimetischen Darstellung auf dem Blatt zu Gunsten eines plastischräumlichen Ausdrucks.

The application of sterile insect technique against the tomato leafminer Liriomyza bryoniae
Creators: name: Walker, Catherine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The tomato leafminer Liriomyza bryoniae (Kaltenbach) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is an economically important pest of greenhouse tomato crops in the UK, which at high infestations can reduce the value of the crop by up to 20% . Sterile insect technique, SIT, is the release of sterile insects to overflood and mate with the pest population. Wild females that mate with sterile males lay eggs that contain dominant lethal mutations and are unable to develop into larvae. SIT has been proposed as a novel, alternative method of L.bryoniae pest suppression that could be used in conjunction with the current biological controls, such as Diglyphus isaea (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). This thesis presents information on the development of SIT against L.bryoniae and examines the feasibility and compatibility with existing pest management methods. Work was carried out that determined high quality, sterile adult L.bryoniae were produced when late stage pupae were irradiated with a dose of 160 Gy gamma radiation. Both male and female L.bryoniae were sterile after irradiation with 160 Gy, which is important given the current inability to separate pupae by sex. A multi-treatment cage experiment was used to compare bi-sex and male-only releases and showed that the release of sterile females did not have a detrimental effect and did not add to the pest problem. The multi-treatment cage experiment also compared the use of D.isaea with sterile male releases both separately and concurrently. Whilst the study conditions favoured the optimal environment for D.isaea oviposition and development, the concurrent release of sterile male L.bryoniae and D.isaea were compatible. SIT is a suitable method for L.bryoniae suppression; but further work to develop a more time and cost-efficient mass-rearing technique and greater knowledge of the market are required in order for it to become a financially viable pest management option. Overall, the irradiation of L.bryoniae pupae with 160 Gy produced sterile adults that have comparable fitness to wild-type adults, do not produce viable offspring and have the potential to suppress a L.bryoniae infestation.

description: Photoproduction of vector mesons are computed in dipole model in proton-proton ultraperipheral collisions(UPCs) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The dipole model framework is employed in the calculations of vector mesons production in diffractive processes. Parameters of the bCGC model are refitted with the latest inclusive deep inelastic scattering experimental data. Employing the bCGC model and Boosted Gaussian light-cone wave function for vector mesons, we obtain prediction of rapidity distributions of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(2s)$ mesons in proton-proton ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC. The predictions give a good description to the experimental data of LHCb. Predictions of $ϕ$ and $ω$ mesons are also evaluated in this paper.

Folding the data on the orbital period, we model the light curve variations as the ellipsoidal modulation of the secondary star. We determine the binary inclination to be 20--31 degrees (90 per cent confidence) and also 95 per cent upper limits to the radial velocity semi-amplitude and rotational broadening of the secondary star to be 117 kms-1 and 50 kms-1 respectively.

Phase transitions in biological membranes

description: Native membranes of biological cells display melting transitions of their lipids at a temperature of 10-20 degrees below body temperature. Such transitions can be observed in various bacterial cells, in nerves, in cancer cells, but also in lung surfactant. It seems as if the presence of transitions slightly below physiological temperature is a generic property of most cells. They are important because they influence many physical properties of the membranes. At the transition temperature, membranes display a larger permeability that is accompanied by ion-channel-like phenomena even in the complete absence of proteins. Membranes are softer, which implies that phenomena such as endocytosis and exocytosis are facilitated. Mechanical signal propagation phenomena related to nerve pulses are strongly enhanced. The position of transitions can be affected by changes in temperature, pressure, pH and salt concentration or by the presence of anesthetics. Thus, even at physiological temperature, these transitions are of relevance. There position and thereby the physical properties of the membrane can be controlled by changes in the intensive thermodynamic variables. Here, we review some of the experimental findings and the thermodynamics that describes the control of the membrane function.

The present study demonstrates the prooxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of Garcinia xanthochymus fruit. Oxidation of Trolox and NADH activity indicated the pro-oxidant capacity of the extracts. Significant decrease in cell viability in B16F10 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines and significant increase in caspase 3 activity after treatment with extracts indicated pro-oxidant induced apoptosis. Pre-treatment with the extracts significantly inhibited ROS, reduced NO production, inhibited LPS-induced COX-2 and suppressed IL-6 and TNF-α expression. HRMS analysis showed the presence of compounds like biflavonoids, xanthones, phloroglucinols, benzophenones, etc. The fruit is rich in total phenolic and flavonoid contents, and have DPPH radical scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant and metal chelating potential. This study report for the first time about the anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties of G. xanthochymus whole fruit.
Practical and Effcient Runtime Taint Tracking
Creators: name: Papagiannis, Ioannis

description: Runtime taint tracking is a technique for controlling data propagation in applications. It is typically used to prevent disclosure of confidential information or to avoid application vulnerabilities. Taint tracking systems intercept application operations at runtime, associate meta-data with the data being processed and inspect the meta-data to detect unauthorised data propagation. To keep metadata up-to-date, every attempt of the application to access and process data is intercepted. To ensure that all data propagation is monitored, different categories of data (e.g. confidential and public data) are kept isolated. In practice, the interception of application operations and the isolation of different categories of data are hard to achieve. Existing applications, language interpreters and operating systems need to be re-engineered while keeping metadata up-to-date incurs significant overhead at runtime. In this thesis we show that runtime taint tracking can be implemented with minimal changes to existing infrastructure and with reduced overhead compared to previous approaches. In other words, we suggest methods to achieve both practical and efficient runtime taint tracking. Our key observation is that applications in specific domains are typically implemented in high-level languages and use a subset of the available language features. This facilitates the implementation of a taint tracking system because it needs to support only parts of a programming language and it may leverage features of the execution platform. This thesis explores three different applications domains. We start with event processing applications in Java, for which we introduce a novel solution to achieve isolation and a practical method to declare restrictions about data propagation. We then focus on securing PHP web applications. We show that if taint tracking is restricted to a small part of an application, the runtime overhead is significantly reduced without sacrificing effectiveness. Finally, we target accidental data disclosure in Ruby web applications. Ruby emerges as an ideal choice for a practical taint tracking system because it supports meta-programming facilities that simplify interception and isolation.
Aspects of the free field description of string theory on AdS_3

description: The near boundary limit of string theory in AdS_3 is analysed using the Wakimoto free field representation of SL(2,R). The theory is considered as a direct product of the SL(2,R)/U(1) coset and a free boson. Correlation functions are constructed generalizing to the non-compact case the integral representation of conformal blocks introduced by Dotsenko in the compact SU(2) CFT. Sectors of the theory obtained by spectral flow manifestly appear. The formalism naturally leads to consider scattering processes violating winding number conservation. The consistency of the procedure is verified in the factorization limit.

Intra-pixel response characterization of a HgCdTe near infrared detector with a pronounced crosshatch pattern

description: The "crosshatch" pattern is a recurring "feature" of HgCdTe arrays, specifically the Teledyne HAWAII family of near infrared detectors. It is a fixed pattern of high frequency QE variations along 3 directions generally thought to be related to the crystal structure of HgCdTe. The pattern is evident in detectors used in Hubble WFC3, WISE, JWST, and in candidate detectors for Euclid and WFIRST. Using undersampled point sources projected onto a HAWAII-2RG detector, we show that the pattern induces photometric variations that are not removed by a flat-field calibration, thus demonstrating that the QE variations occur on scales smaller than the 18 micron pixels. Our testbed is the Precision Projector Laboratory's astronomical scene generator, which can rapidly characterize the full detector by scanning thousands of undersampled spots. If not properly calibrated, detectors showing strong crosshatch may induce correlated errors in photometry, astrometry, spectroscopy, and shape measurements.

Lifelong learning and assessment of skills of clinicians in clinical practice – Revalidation
Creators: name: Ahmed, Kamran
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Life-long learning and assessment of clinicians with constructive feedback aim to maintains and improve standards of healthcare. With continually increasing introduction of newer diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in craft disciplines and increasing concerns regarding patient safety, it is imperative to keep training and assessment standards high in order to achieve excellence in patient care and to keep professional integrity. General Medical Council is in the process of implementing the process of revalidation in order to achieve these goals. However, the questions regarding the contents, feasibility, acceptability, validity and reliability of assessment process and lifelong learning remain unanswered. The aim of this work is to: (1) Seek opinions of specialists about the contents and acceptability of recertification (qualitative evaluation) and life-long learning (quantitative evaluation); (2) Explore the tools available for assessment of technical skills (systematic review); (3) Develop and validate a tool for evaluation of non-technical skills of both specialists and juniors during the ward rounds (observational studies); and (4) Delineate a process for evaluation of technical and non-technical skills of specialists and junior doctors based on clinical outcomes (meta-analysis). Observational tools have been identified for evaluation of technical skills in both simulated and real settings. Tools for assessment at both trainee and specialist levels were evaluated in terms of feasibility, acceptability, validity, and reliability. Using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis model (FMEA), a tool for assessment of non-technical skills of both trainees and specialists during the ward rounds was developed and validated for both simulated and real settings. Meta-analysis was carried out to propose a model for skills evaluation through technical and non-technical skills’ specific outcomes. Moreover, opinions of the specialists were collected and analysed through quantitative and qualitative methods to formulate recommendations for assessment of clinical practice For the first time in literature, feasibility and validity data for the process of assessment including specialists has been reported. This research has given recommendation to carry out further work to establish the effectiveness of the whole process of recertification and lifelong learning.

description: Neural-net-induced Gaussian process (NNGP) regression inherits both the high expressivity of deep neural networks (deep NNs) as well as the uncertainty quantification property of Gaussian processes (GPs). We generalize the current NNGP to first include a larger number of hyperparameters and subsequently train the model by maximum likelihood estimation. Unlike previous works on NNGP that targeted classification, here we apply the generalized NNGP to function approximation and to solving partial differential equations (PDEs). Specifically, we develop an analytical iteration formula to compute the covariance function of GP induced by deep NN with an error-function nonlinearity. We compare the performance of the generalized NNGP for function approximations and PDE solutions with those of GPs and fully-connected NNs. We observe that for smooth functions the generalized NNGP can yield the same order of accuracy with GP, while both NNGP and GP outperform deep NN. For non-smooth functions, the generalized NNGP is superior to GP and comparable or superior to deep NN.

description: Time-Of-Flight (TOF) is a noble technique that is used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging worldwide. The scintillator based imaging system that is being used around the world for TOF-PET is very expensive. Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) are gaseous detectors which are easy to fabricate, inexpensive and have excellent position and timing resolution. They can be used as a suitable alternative to highly expensive scintillators. For the sole purpose of TOF-PET, a pair of 18 cm $\times$ 18 cm, 5 gap, glass-based MRPC modules have been fabricated. Our main aim was to determine the shift in the position of the source (Na-22) with these fabricated MRPCs. In this document, the details of the experimental results will be presented.

description: [transcription] Je cherche depuis plusieurs jours une occasion pour vous faire passer, monsieur et cher ami, l’ouvrage du père Oderici que vous souhaitez, mais n’en aiant pas trouvé jusqu’ici de favorable, je vais le confier à M. Galiard le négotiant qui a plusieurs relations dans cette ville afin qu’il profite de la première occasion qu’il aura.

Je ne sçai si vous avez reçu le petit rouleau contenant une des planches de l’Atlas Farnesianus que je vous envoyai par la voye de Beaucaire. Si elle s’était égarée ce ne serait pas grande perte parce que peut-être j’en retrouverai quelqu’autre.

Je regrette beaucoup le père Rivoire c’était mon ami et un bon honnête homme qui cultivait l’antiquité.

Le médaillon que je montrai à l’abbé Manri est un médaillon faux de Septime Sévère et non de Marc Aurèlle, ce bon abbé le crut vrai sans l’examiner.

J’ai l’honneur d’être très sincèrement, monsieur et très cher ami,

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur,

Séguier.
Le 5 août 1779.
