description: We determine the sphaleron transition rate using real time lattice simulations of the classical system. An improved definition of the lattice topological charge allows us to obtain a more reliable estimate of the transition rate. For an SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs system in the broken phase we find the transition rate to be strongly suppressed, and we have observed no sphaleron transitions in the range of coupling constants used. For a pure SU(2) Yang-Mills system in large volumes the rate behaves as $κ(α_w T)^4$, with $κ$ slightly decreasing as the lattice spacing is reduced. If the lattice size is reduced to about twice the magnetic screening length, the rate is suppressed by finite-size effects, and $κ$ is approximately proportional to the lattice spacing. Our rate measurements are supplemented by analysis of gauge field correlation functions in the Coulomb gauge.

description: We study the edge behavior of inhomogeneous one-dimensional quantum systems, such as Lieb-Liniger models in traps or spin chains in spatially varying magnetic fields. For free systems these fall into several universality classes, the most generic one being governed by the Tracy-Widom distribution. We investigate in this paper the effect of interactions. Using semiclassical arguments, we show that since the density vanishes to leading order, the strong interactions in the bulk are renormalized to zero at the edge, which simply explains the survival of Tracy-Widom scaling in general. For integrable systems, it is possible to push this argument further, and determine exactly the remaining length scale which controls the variance of the edge distribution. This analytical prediction is checked numerically, with excellent agreement. We also study numerically the edge scaling at fronts generated by quantum quenches, which provide new universality classes awaiting theoretical explanation.

Quantification of glial activation using positron emission tomography in neurodegenerative disease
Creators: name: Fan, Zhen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Background: There is considerable evidence that neuroinflammation plays a significant role in neurodegenerative diseases, hence there is a need for glial activation measurements in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with positron-emission tomography (PET). This thesis aims to 1) explore the quantification approach for novel glial activation tracers, 2) and develop new imaging techniques to evaluate biomarker interactions. Methods: [18F]GE180 and [11C]PBR28 for microglial activation were evaluated in 13 participants with AD and 13 with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). [11C]BU99008 for astroglial activation was studied in 11 AD and MCI. Arterial input functions were acquired and full compartmental modelling, spectral analysis, graphic analysis, cluster analysis and standardized uptake value were evaluated. The VOI (Volume of interest) Prediction Tool (biomarker co-localization) and Individual Correlation Mapping (ICM) (biomarker correlation) were developed to assess biomarker interactions. Results: Based on Akaike Information Criterion, a two-tissue compartmental model demonstrated the best fit for [18F]GE180 and [11C]BU99008, while [11C]PBR28 fitted the two-tissue model with a vascular component. Impulse response function (IRF) generated by spectral analysis, have shown good consistency with compartmental modelling (R2>0.8, p<0.0001). [18F]GE180 revealed high plasma binding and low VT (AD=0.21 ±0.06 mL·cm-3, HC=0.17 ±0.05 mL·cm-3) in the brain. For amyloid-positive patients, I discovered 25% (p<0.01) and 19% (p<0.03) group-level increase in [11C]PBR28 and [11C]BU99008 VT, respectively. The interactive VOI of microglial activation, amyloid and tau has demonstrated a linear prediction model of individual annual cognitive decline (R2=0.86, p<0.0001). ICM demonstrated a positive correlation (R2=0.7, p<0.03) between the volume of biomarker interaction and the severity of the cognitive impairment on individual basis. Conclusion: This work explores the best quantification method for three new tracers and demonstrates elevation of glial activation in patients with neurodegenerative disease. The novel imaging techniques demonstrate an individualized association between biomarker interaction and cognitive performance, indicating the importance of biomarker interactions in AD.
Sound and Heat Absorption by a 2D Electron Gas in an Odd-Integer Quantized-Hall Regime

description: The absorption of bulk acoustic phonons in a two-dimensional (2D) GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure is studied (in the clean limit) where the 2D electron-gas (2DEG), being in an odd-integer quantum-Hall state, is in fact a spin dielectric. Of the two channels of phonon absorption associated with excitation of spin waves, one, which is due to the spin-orbit (SO) coupling of electrons, involves a change of the spin state of the system and the other does not. We show that the phonon-absorption rate corresponding to the former channel (in the paper designated as the second absorption channel) is finite at zero temperature ($T$), whereas that corresponding to the latter (designated as the first channel) vanishes for $T\to 0$. The long-wavelength limit, being the special case of the first absorption channel, corresponds to sound (bulk and surface) attenuation by the 2DEG. At the same time, the ballistic phonon propagation and heat absorption are determined by both channels. The 2DEG overheat and the attendant spin-state change are found under the conditions of permanent nonequilibrium phonon pumping.

Higgs potential near-criticality from a de Sitter swampland-like condition

description: Motivated by the recently proposed de Sitter swampland conjecture, a formally same condition imposed instead on the convex and real exact effective potential is contemplated. Compared to the original conjecture, the modified condition admits a broader class of low-energy effective theories such as those with local maxima and/or false de Sitter vacua with some restrictions, as long as there is an anti-de Sitter vacuum. The observed accelerating expansion of the universe might therefore be attributed to a quintessence or a metastable vacuum. The former solution can be simplified and thus better compatible with phenomenological constraints thanks to the convexity of the effective potential. Among the latter class of solutions is found the enthralling possibility that the modified condition is in fact behind the experimentally favoured metastability of the Higgs potential with an instability scale below or around the Planck scale.

Mapping the colorectal cancer microbiome and metabolome
Creators: name: Alexander, James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major cause of worldwide mortality. It is a disease whose aetiology is defined primarily by interactions between the host and his environment. The gut microbiota, which sits at the interface between the host’s physiology and exposome, is now recognised as a critical modulator in CRC aetiology. However, our understanding of this immensely complex, highly individualised and multi-faceted relationship is incomplete and not easily amenable to traditional reductive scientific investigation. In this work, I have therefore employed systems medicine approaches in a large, prospective, cross-sectional case-control study of patients at all stages of colorectal neoplastic progression. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, I show that gut microbiota composition is indicative of CRC disease stage and molecular phenotype, and define two anti-correlated community sub-types, which could explain this association. Utilising liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry, I further define metabolomic changes in the developing tumour micro-environment, including the over-representation of phospholipid species, long chain fatty acids and amino acids, and, for the first time, relate these changes to microbial composition and function. Finally, Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry is developed as a tool for sampling the metabolic changes of dysplasia and cancer, both at the mucosa via colonoscopy, and in faeces, raising the spectre of an entirely novel approach for tumour chemical phenotyping and non-invasive CRC screening.

description: The specific heat C of Ce_{0.8}La_{0.2}Al_{3} has been measured as a function of temperature T in magnetic fields up to 14 T. A large peak in C at 2.3 K has recently been ascribed to an anisotropic Kondo effect in this compound. A 14-T field depresses the temperature of the peak by only 0.2 K, but strongly reduces its height. The corresponding peak in C/T shifts from 2.1 K at zero field to 1.7 K at 14 T. The extrapolated specific heat coefficient C/T(T->0) increases with field over the range studied. We show that these trends are inconsistent with the anisotropic Kondo model.

Sol-gel bioactive glasses for oral care applications
Creators: name: Monajem-Isfahani, Setareh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a condition where exposure to different stimuli in oral environment results in pain. The presence of open dentin tubules is the attributing cause. Commercial toothpaste, Sensodyne Repair and Protect, treat DH by occluding dentin tubules. The product contains 45S5 melt derived bioactive glass with a certain particle size range, known as NovaMin™. Currently multiple applications are required before effective occlusion is achieved. The focus of present work was to design a fit for purpose composition that deliver more rapid or extensive tubule occlusion and has lower abrasivity than 45S5. Sol-gel bioactive glass has higher surface area and porosity compared with melt derived glass, resulting in faster dissolution and formation of hydroxyl apatite layer (HA). This was the reason for choosing sol-gel process for oral care application. Compositions containing various levels of sodium oxide (4-24 mol%) and sodium free samples with different levels of phosphate (2.5, 5.5 and 8.5 mol% P2O5) were prepared, characterised and assessed for bioactivity in artificial saliva (AS). Bioactivity showed that presence of sodium has no significant effect on rate of HA formation. Increase in Phosphate content resulted in phosphate release, leading to buffering of pH. Composition 64S 2P (2.5mol % P2O5) showed most extensive calcium phosphate precipitation. 64S 8P (8.5 mol % P2O5) led to more rapid transition to crystalline HA. Both were selected as suitable candidates for rapid and/or extensive tubule occlusion. Dentin discs brushed with 64S 2P and 64S 8P toothpastes showed higher deposition and more extensive tubule occlusion compare to specimens treated with control paste and melt derived 45S5. Significant difference in surface roughness of dentin discs treated with 64S 2P,64S 8P vs. 45S5 was found, confirming lower abrasivity of sol-gel glass. Liquid delivery of bioactive glass was explored, calcium phosphate precipitation in AS was achieved offering treatment with no abrasivity.

description: We introduce the concept of local normative climate to improve understanding of communitylevel social processes that shape women’s and men’s sense of agency and capacities for taking important decisions, including in their agricultural livelihoods. The idea of normative climate is informed by feminist literature that addresses concerns for the contextual, fluid, and relational properties of gender norms. We apply normative climate to a qualitative examination of men’s and women’s assessments of decade-long changes in their decision-making capacity in two village case studies as well as comparatively with 24 village cases from seven sub-Saharan African countries. The case studies reveal how a normative climate is shaped by contextual influences that give rise to social processes where, for instance, changes in decision-making and agricultural opportunities may be perceived as empowering by only men in one village, and only by women in the other village. Comparative findings highlight how perceptions of agency are rooted in fluid normative expectations that evolve differently for women and men as they move through their life cycle and as local institutions and opportunities change.

description: Diversity is an important factor in evolutionary algorithms to prevent premature convergence towards a single local optimum. In order to maintain diversity throughout the process of evolution, various means exist in literature. We analyze approaches to diversity that (a) have an explicit and quantifiable influence on fitness at the individual level and (b) require no (or very little) additional domain knowledge such as domain-specific distance functions. We also introduce the concept of genealogical diversity in a broader study. We show that employing these approaches can help evolutionary algorithms for global optimization in many cases.

description: We study certain family of finite-dimensional modules over the Yangian $Y(gl_N)$. The algebra $Y(gl_N)$ comes equipped with a distinguished maximal commutative subalgebra $A(gl_n)$ generated by the centres of all algebras in the chain $Y(gl_1)\subset Y(gl_2)\subset...\subset Y(gl_N)$. We study the finite-dimensional $Y(gl_N)$-modules with a semisimple action of the subalgebra $A(gl_N)$. We call these modules tame. We provide a characterization of irreducible tame modules in terms of their Drinfeld polynomials. We prove that every irreducible tame module splits into a tensor product of modules corresponding to the skew Young diagrams and some one-dimensional module. The eigenbases of $A(gl_N)$ in irreducible tame modules are called Gelfand-Zetlin bases. We provide explicit formulas for the action of the Drinfeld generators of the algebra $Y(gl_N)$ on the vectors of Gelfand-Zetlin bases.

description: I present results for soft anomalous dimensions in single top-quark production processes through three loops. I first discuss the cusp anomalous dimension with one massive and one massless line at three loops. I then calculate the three-loop soft anomalous dimension for $tW$ production and for related processes with new physics such as $tZ$, $tγ$, and $tH^-$ production. This is followed by results at two and three loops for the soft anomalous dimension matrix in $s$-channel single-top production and, finally, in $t$-channel single-top production. These new results are needed for soft-gluon resummation at N$^3$LL accuracy and for calculations of soft-gluon corrections at N$^3$LO.

However, the complexity of managing vast data streams and integrating various systems presents significant challenges for enterprises. These challenges can be mitigated by incorporating APIs and Middleware, APIs help integrate diverse systems, while middleware solutions facilitate communication between different software environments, Cloud-Based Data Platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to offer scalable data storage and processing capabilities, allowing businesses to expand without compromising on performance. This study proposes a systematic review of business performance improvements driven by various types, sources, and real-time applications, highlighting cost efficiency, reliability, and increase in revenue using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) framework, the inclusion criteria is bounded by (1) publication date between 2014 to 2024, (2) written in English, (3) research focusing on EDM with an emphasis on types, data sources, and real-time applications, and (4) research work that provides a clear framework for the analysis of EDM’s impact on enhancing business performance. Following this process, 136 eligible research studies were included. The cost of implementation can vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the system. Operational and maintenance costs can vary widely depending on the infrastructure, data storage requirements, and the level of real-time application integrations. As EDM systems scale to accommodate more diverse data sources and real-time analytics capabilities, the associated costs increase accordingly.

The implementation of daily glucose and dietary logs to improve self efficacy and overall management in African American patients with diabetes mellitus at a primary care office
Creators: name: Benons, Renetta
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the US has drastically increased over the past several years. Moreover, African Americans with T2DM often suffer from diabetes-related complications than their Caucasian counterparts, in large part due to poor self-care practices. By improving self-efficacy through enhanced self-management practices, African Americans will be more equipped to effectively manage their illness. Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the effectiveness of daily glucose and dietary logs on self-efficacy and overall management of T2DM in African Americans.Method: A convenience sample of 10 African Americans with T2DM at a primary care office in New Jersey was recruited to conduct this project. This quality improvement project used a standardized logbook to educate and empower patients with T2DM to improve overall management. Data analysis was achieved by evaluating the patients’ blood glucose and perceived self-efficacy pre-intervention through post-intervention over an 8-week period. Results: Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the participants’ demographic data. The paired T-test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to interpret the diabetes management self-efficacy scale and the self-care inventory scale, pre- and post-intervention. The results showed that patient educational and interactive programs that focused on self-management such as logbooks, can have a positive effect on self-efficacy and blood glucose levels, ultimately improving overall management. Implications: In research, implications suggest how the results may impact practice, theory, policy and future research. This evidence-based quality improvement project was successful in providing an alternative to the identified gap in practice with the use of logbooks to transform self-care practices and optimize management in African Americans with Type 2 Diabetes. The study was both empirical and interpretive, as it provided several opportunities for future research in terms of policy development and clinical validation. Future research will be instrumental to refine and further expand the findings of this project.

description: Supplementary information file for article: 'Microwave-synthesised Pd-TiO2 for photocatalytic ammonia production'. Abstract: Palladium doped anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesised by a rapid (3 min) one-pot microwave synthesis technique at low temperature and pressure. After being fully characterised by SEM, XRD, Raman, XPS and EDX, photocatalytic nitrate reduction and ammonia production was studied over various dopant levels between 0–3.97wt% Pd and compared to similar previous literature. Improved yields of ammonia were observed with most dopant levels when compared to non-doped microwave synthesised TiO2 with 2.65wt% found to be the optimum dopant level producing 21.2 µmol NH3. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of TiO2 and Pd-TiO2 photoelectrodes revealed improvements in charge transfer characteristics at high Pd dopant levels.

description: The Green's function for a hole moving in an antiferromagnet is derived analytically in the long-wavelength limit. We find that the infrared divergence is eliminated in two and higher dimensions so that the quasiparticle weight is finite. Our results also suggest that the hole motion is polaronic in nature with a bandwidth proportional to $t/J \exp [-c (t/J)^2] $ ($c$ is a constant). The connection of the long-wavelength approximation to the first-order approximation in the cumulant expansion is also clarified.

description: Background: Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are used in clinical management to confirm the diagnosis and indicate the severity of organophosphorus and carbamate poisoning. ChE check mobile is a new portable cholinesterase testing system developed in Germany. The study aims to evaluate the accuracy of ChE check mobile compared to the standard reference method and Test-mate ChE system. Methods: Patients with organophosphorus and carbamate poisoning were recruited from two general hospitals in Sri Lanka between September 2013 and November 2014. The AChE was measured using the three methods. Results: Blood samples were collected from 185 self-poisoned patients (170 organophosphorus and 15 carbamate) and 20 normal individuals. ChE check mobile correlated well with spectrophotometer readings (Pearson’s correlation coefficient 0.87) but gave higher values (Mean bias for AChE: +6.55 (95% CI: −11 to 24) U/g Hb). A similar positive bias from Test-mate results was also observed. Applying a correction factor derived from the volunteer samples (dividing by 1.353) greatly improved agreement in pesticide poisoned patients. Conclusions: ChE check mobile system allowed for rapid determination of AChE activity but gave somewhat higher AChE compared to other methods. Applying a correction factor of 1.353 provide a good agreement to both reference and Test-mate ChE machine in this setting.
Improved Measurement of the B- and B0-bar Meson Lifetimes Using Semileptonic Decays

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The lifetimes of the B- and B0-bar mesons are measured using the partially reconstructed semileptonic decays B-bar -> D l- nu-bar X, where D is either a D0 or D*+ meson. The data were collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider during 1992-95 and correspond to about 110 pb-1 of p-bar p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV. We measure decay lengths and extract the lifetimes to be tau(B-) = 1.637 +/- 0.058 +0.045 -0.043 ps, tau(B0) = 1.474 +/- 0.039 +0.052 -0.051 ps, and the ratio of the lifetimes to be tau(B-)/tau(B0) = 1.110 +/- 0.056 +0.033 -0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

description: Extending finite size scaling theory to the many body ground state, one finds that Coulomb repulsion can drive a system of spinless fermions in a random potential from the Anderson insulator (Fermi glass of localized states) towards a new extended phase in dimension $d=2$. The transition occurs at a Coulomb energy to Fermi energy ratio $r_s \approx 4$, where a change in the nature of the persistent currents has been previously observed. Relevance to the recently observed $2d$ metallic phase is suggested.

description: In this paper we apply the multicanonical method of statistical physics on the number-partitioning problem (NPP). This problem is a basic NP-hard problem from computer science, and can be formulated as a spin-glass problem. We compute the spectral degeneracy, which gives us information about the number of solutions for a given cost $E$ and cardinality $m$. We also study an extension of this problem for $Q$ partitions. We show that a fundamental difference on the spectral degeneracy of the generalized ($Q>2$) NPP exists, which could explain why it is so difficult to find good solutions for this case. The information obtained with the multicanonical method can be very useful on the construction of new algorithms.

description: The synthesis of three bimetallic cyanido complexes with edbea [2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine)] ligand is reported. [NiII(μ-edbea)2{Au(μ-CN)2}2]n (1), [{CuII(edbea)}2{Au(μ-CN)2}4]n (2) and [CdII(edbea)2][Au(CN)2]2·H2O (3) were fully characterized by elemental, infrared, XRD (3), ESI-MS and thermal analysis. The DNA/BSA binding properties of these complexes were evaluated by spectrophotometric titration, fluorometric ethidium bromide kinetics, and DNA electrophoresis studies and their partially minor groove binding mode between the base pairs of DNA and electrostatic interaction between the amino acid residues of BSA were explained. The complexes were tested for their pharmacological properties. These molecules had excellent in vitro antiproliferative activity and also exhibited a strong tumor inhibiting effect against HT29, HeLa, C6 and Vero cell lines. These complexes had metastatic features as they are able to reduce cell migration activity and suppress tumor growth in vitro. Analysis of the DNA topoisomerase I relaxing activity indicates that the complexes do not inhibit topoisomerase I which regulates the topological states of the DNA double helix during DNA processing reactions. The TUNEL and DNA laddering assay results indicated that these compounds may destroy cell maintenance by triggering apoptosis. Immunohistochemistry staining analysis demonstrated that these complexes significantly decreased the expression of Bcl-2 in HeLa and HT29 cells while increasing the expression of P53 levels. Overall, the potent antiproliferative activity, low cytotoxic effect, good solubility, and micro molar range dosage observed for these complexes emphasizes their potential as anticancer drug candidates.

description: We report the results of two fundamental transport measurements at a Landau level filling factor $ν$ of 1/2. The well known ballistic electron transport phenomena of quenching of the Hall effect in a mesoscopic cross-junction and negative magnetoresistance of a constriction are observed close to B~=~0 and $ν~=~ 1/2$. The experimental results demonstrate semi-classical charge transport by composite fermions, which consist of electrons bound to an even number of flux quanta.
