Investigating the Expression and Function of CCN2 in Articular Cartilage
Creators: name: McLean, Celia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The pericellular matrix (PCM) is a distinct zone of matrix that surrounds individual chondrocytes throughout articular cartilage. Although not much is known about its function, our group has shown that it has a role in mechanotransduction by controlling the bioavailability of perlecan-bound FGF-2. The aim of this project was to determine the other structural components of the PCM, and to search for other heparin binding growth factors which might be sequestered in the matrix. By confocal microscopy I confirmed that the PCM was rich in type VI collagen and perlecan, although devoid of type II collagen and aggrecan. Isolation of individual chondrons (the chondrocyte together with its PCM) was performed by partial digestion of the matrix using dispase and collagenase, and proteomic analysis using mass spectrometry was performed to identify new proteins. As this method was only partially successful I looked for the presence of a known heparin binding growth factor, connective tissue growth factor (CCN2), in chondron preparations. CCN2, which is an abundant secreted protein of articular cartilage, was present in both the chondron preparation by western blot, and was visualised in the PCM of porcine and human articular cartilage by confocal microscopy. CCN2 is not commercially available so His-tagged recombinant protein was stably expressed and purified using nickel affinity chromatography. Biological activity of the purified protein was investigated in a number of established assays. No biological activity was demonstrated when purified CCN2 was used alone on murine mesenchymal stem cells, but was evident when assayed in combination with low dose TGF-β. The effect of exogenous CCN2 on fibroblasts was limited by the significant release of endogenous CCN2. High constitutive expression of CCN2 in articular cartilage may limit the effects seen by exogenous CCN2. However, the results presented in this thesis support the role of CCN2 as a modulator of TGF beta signalling, and suggest that, through potentiating TGF beta it may regulate matrix turnover in articular cartilage.

The Synthesis of Bioactive Compounds by Using Phase-tagged Germanium Chemistry
Creators: name: Tseng, Chih-Chung
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The research described in this thesis covers two fields of investigation: 1) Biaryl and styrene Synthesis by Cross-Coupling of Fluorous-tagged Photo-activated Arylgermanes and Towards the Preparation of Boscalid and Analogues Biaryls are generally prepared by cross-coupling between aryl metals. However, even the most robust of these aryl metal species cannot be carried through complex synthetic sequences due to their reactivity particularly towards electrophiles. In this thesis, the development of trialkylgermanes as ‘safety-catch’ coupling precursors for biaryl and styrene synthesis was achieved. The safety-catch germanes are fluorous-tagged to facilitate parallel synthesis using fluorous SPE techniques and are activated towards Pd(0)-catalysed cross-coupling with aryl bromides by oxidative photolysis using a UV lamp. The stability profile of the fluorous-tagged arylgermanes was examined. They are stable under strong basic, nucleophilic and reductive conditions but labile in acidic and oxidative environments. This stability profile provides unique opportunities for synthetic route design in target orientated syntheses by allowing the germane group to be installed early in the sequence but only activated for cross-coupling when required. This method has been applied to the synthesis of the plant anti-fungal agent boscalid® and its alkynyl derivatives. 2) Novel Protocol for Solid Phase Synthesis of Radio-iodinated Ligands for Imaging of Cannabinoid Receptors in the Brain Rimonabant® is a CB1 receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of obesity, metabolic syndrome, addiction and smoking cessation. Radio-labelled analogues are potential PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) imaging agents for visualising the distribution of cannabinoid receptors in the brain for medical research. Conventional methods for the preparation of radio-iodinated cannabinoid receptor ligands employ organostannane precursors which undergo electrophilic ipso-iododestannylation with concomitant formation of toxic organostannane by-products. Rigorous removed of organostannane residues is necessary prior to injection the ligand for in vivo experiments. In this thesis, a novel, non-toxic, solid-supported and facile approach for the parallel synthesis of iodinated cannabinoid receptor ligands based on the skeleton of rimonabant has been demonstrated.

description: In perennial plants, the selection of new genotypes requires several years of evaluation to get a reliable estimate of the genetic value and performance potential of the trees. The cocoa tree, which is cultivated for its beans, produces continuously throughout the entire duration of trial plots or field stands, which can last up to 30 years. The genetic value of the trees' productivity over the entire production period is therefore difficult to assess. In particular, how many years are needed to estimate the potential of the trees? To answer this question, the analysis of a trial comparing 42 clones in a statistical design, located in Costa Rica, was proposed. The individual production of each of the 1187 trees in this trial was evaluated over 18 consecutive years. Results indicate that the first year's production is not a reliable predictor of cumulative production over 18 years given its genetic correlation of 0.68. It is necessary to have an accumulation of 4 years for the genetic correlation with the 18-year accumulation to be higher than 0.85, and an accumulation of 7 years for the genetic correlation to be higher than 0.90. Longitudinal data analysis allows for a better understanding of the links between production of the successive years. In this trial, the seventh year was a year of high production followed by a slight decrease in the eighth year. Determining an evaluation period that allows for a reliable estimate of genetic value should therefore be based on the study of production kinetics. Indeed, it seems necessary to continue the evaluation of tree production until a high annual production that reveals the productive capacity of the genotypes. Studies on production kinetics also make it possible to envisage genetic improvement for better sustainability of cocoa trees to be proposed in appropriate cropping systems.

description: A fundamental challenge in the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Databases consists of developing methods to automatically manage Knowledge Bases which can serve as a knowledge source for computer systems trying to replicate the decision-making ability of human experts. Despite of most of the tasks involved in the building, exploitation and maintenance of KBs are far from being trivial, and significant progress has been made during the last years. However, there are still a number of challenges that remain open. In fact, there are some issues to be addressed in order to empirically prove the technology for systems of this kind to be mature and reliable.

description: A method for incorporating the effect of the resonant continuum into Hartree-Fock+BCS equations is proposed. The method is applied for the case of a neutron-rich nucleus calculated with a Skyrme-type force plus a zero-range pairing interaction and the results are compared with Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations. It is shown that the widths of resonant states have an important effect on the pairing properties of nuclei close to the drip line.

description: Near the end of June in 2016, I traveled to the Florida Keys with Arie Larson, who acts as DEP's Division of State Lands (Office of Environmental Services) land management review coordinator. State agencies that manage lands covering 1,000 or more acres of property owned by the Florida Board of Trustees are mandated by law to undergo a land management review every five years. Although DHR lacks a specific statutory role in this process, we occasionally participate in some of these field reviews to get a better understanding as to how archaeological and historical resources are being managed on the ground at these properties. As part of the land management review process, each agency also is required to answer our Cultural Resources Questionnaire that should be completed and returned to us well before the land management field review occurs. Public Lands Archaeology responds to each questionnaire with comments, suggestions and, in some instances, corrections.
Novel Current-Mode Sensor Interfacing and Radio Blocks for Cell Culture Monitoring
Creators: name: Walia, Anoop Singh
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Since 2004 Imperial College has been developing the world’s first application-specific instrumentation aiming at the on-line, in-situ, physiochemical monitoring of adult stem cell cultures. That effort is internationally known as the ‘Intelligent Stem Cell Culture Systems’ (ISCCS) project. The ISCCS platform is formed by the functional integration of biosensors, interfacing electronics and bioreactors. Contrary to the PCB-level ISCCS platform the work presented in this thesis relates to the realization of a miniaturized cell culture monitoring platform. Specifically, this thesis details the synthesis and fabrication of pivotal VLSI circuit blocks suitable for the construction of a miniaturized microelectronic cell monitoring platform. The thesis is composed of two main parts. The first part details the design and operation of a two-stage current-input currentoutput topology suitable for three-electrode amperometric sensor measurements. The first stage is a CMOS-dual rail-class AB-current conveyor providing a low impedancevirtual ground node for a current input. The second stage is a novel hyperbolic-sinebased externally-linear internally-non-linear current amplification stage. This stage bases its operation upon the compressive sinh−1 conversion of the interfaced current to an intermediate auxiliary voltage and the subsequent sinh expansion of the same voltage. The proposed novel topology has been simulated for current-gain values ranging from 10 to 1000 using the parameters of the commercially available 0.8μm AMS CMOS process. Measured results from a chip fabricated in the same technology are also reported. The proposed interfacing/amplification architecture consumes 0.88-95μW. The second part describes the design and practical evaluation of a 13.56MHz frequency shift keying (FSK) short-range (5cm) telemetry link suitable for the monitoring of incubated cultures. Prior to the design of the full FSK radio system, a pair of 13.56MHz antennae are characterized experimentally. The experimental S-parameter-value determination of the 13.56MHz wireless link is incorporated into the Cadence Design Framework allowing a high fidelity simulation of the reported FSK radio. The transmitter of the proposed system is a novel multi-tapped seven-stage ring-oscillator-based VCO whereas the core of the receiver is an appropriately modified phase locked loop (PLL). Simulated and measured results from a 0.8μm CMOS technology chip are reported.

It includes survey results of researchers and a collection of articles from industry experts, as well as a foreword from Ross Wilkinson, Director, Global Strategy at Australian Research Data Commons.

The report is the third in the series and the survey results continue to show encouraging progress that open data is becoming more embedded in the research community.
The key finding is that open data has become more embedded in the research community – 64% of survey respondents reveal they made their data openly available in 2018. However, a surprising number of respondents (60%) had never heard of the FAIR principles, a guideline to enhance the reusability of academic data.
Analysis of Bcl6 in a genetically tractable human B cell line
Creators: name: Zobel, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: B cell lymphoma 6 (Bcl6) is a proto-oncogene functioning as a transcriptional repressor at the germinal centre (GC) stage of B cell development, regulating proliferation, differentiation and survival. Bcl6 is commonly dysregulated in GCderived lymphomas and hence a promising therapeutic target. Although a number of agents targeting Bcl6 are being developed, there is currently no good model available for functional analysis and hence drug target validation. To address this issue, I have established a conditional BCL6 knockout cell line for in-depth functional analyses of Bcl6. I have used homologous recombination to disrupt one BCL6 allele in the human Burkitt’s lymphoma cell line DG75 with a zeocin resistance cassette and have shown this line to be capable of supporting tetracycline (tet)-regulated Bcl6 expression from an integrated expression construct. The zeocin cassette used to disrupt the first BCL6 allele was subsequently deleted by Cre recombination. This allowed me to reuse the same targeting construct to disrupt the second BCL6allele. I subsequently set out to characterise the resulting conditional knockout cell line and found that depletion of Bcl6 leads to less proliferation, characterised by a prolonged G0/G1cell cycle phase. I went on to further characterise the effect of Bcl6 depletion in my system by cDNA microarray analysis, which revealed interesting insights into functions of Bcl6 such as the modulation of B cell receptor signalling and calcium signalling. The system I have developed is the first precisely regulated genetic model for studying Bcl6 function and will be of great benefit for research aiming to develop Bcl6 targeted drug therapy.

description: Semantic similarity measurement aims to determine the likeness between two text expressions that use different lexicographies for representing the same real object or idea. There are a lot of semantic similarity measures for addressing this problem. However, the best results have been achieved when aggregating a number of simple similarity measures. This means that after the various similarity values have been calculated, the overall similarity for a pair of text expressions is computed using an aggregation function of these individual semantic similarity values. This aggregation is often computed by means of statistical functions. In this work, we present CoTO (Consensus or Trade-Off) a solution based on fuzzy logic that is able to outperform these traditional approaches.

description: We characterize those bounded multilinear operators that factor through a Hilbert space in terms of its behavior in finite sequences. This extends a result, essentially due to S. Kwapień, from the linear to the multilinear setting. We prove that Hilbert-Schmidt and Lipschitz $2$-summing multilinear operators naturally factor through a Hilbert space. It is also proved that the class $Γ$ of all multilinear operators that factor through a Hilbert space is a maximal multi-ideal; moreover, we give an explicit formulation of a finitely generated tensor norm $γ$ which is in duality with $Γ$.

(Northland) conducted an archaeological survey of 10-ft-wide corridor of the proposed 1.7 mi Salt River Project 12 kV transmission line on lands administered by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC). The survey was conducted on 1 October 1993 at the request of Judy Brunson of Salt River Project (SRP). The non-collection survey was conducted under an archaeological permit issued by the SRPMIC. The survey was designed to locate and record archaeological resources within the proposed corridor. Vegetation in the project area is mainly creosotebush, with some palo verde and ironwood trees. Ground surface visibility was excellent and the proposed right-of-way was identified with pinflags placed in the ground at the proposed locations of the power poles.

Distributionally robust optimization with applications to risk management
Creators: name: Zymler, Steve
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Many decision problems can be formulated as mathematical optimization models. While deterministic optimization problems include only known parameters, real-life decision problems almost invariably involve parameters that are subject to uncertainty. Failure to take this uncertainty under consideration may yield decisions which can lead to unexpected or even catastrophic results if certain scenarios are realized. While stochastic programming is a sound approach to decision making under uncertainty, it assumes that the decision maker has complete knowledge about the probability distribution that governs the uncertain parameters. This assumption is usually unjustified as, for most realistic problems, the probability distribution must be estimated from historical data and is therefore itself uncertain. Failure to take this distributional modeling risk into account can result in unduly optimistic risk assessment and suboptimal decisions. Furthermore, for most distributions, stochastic programs involving chance constraints cannot be solved using polynomial-time algorithms. In contrast to stochastic programming, distributionally robust optimization explicitly accounts for distributional uncertainty. In this framework, it is assumed that the decision maker has access to only partial distributional information, such as the first- and second-order moments as well as the support. Subsequently, the problem is solved under the worst-case distribution that complies with this partial information. This worst-case approach effectively immunizes the problem against distributional modeling risk. The objective of this thesis is to investigate how robust optimization techniques can be used for quantitative risk management. In particular, we study how the risk of large-scale derivative portfolios can be computed as well as minimized, while making minimal assumptions about the probability distribution of the underlying asset returns. Our interest in derivative portfolios stems from the fact that careless investment in derivatives can yield large losses or even bankruptcy. We show that by employing robust optimization techniques we are able to capture the substantial risks involved in derivative investments. Furthermore, we investigate how distributionally robust chance constrained programs can be reformulated or approximated as tractable optimization problems. Throughout the thesis, we aim to derive tractable models that are scalable to industrial-size problems.

description: A detailed analysis of the radiative $p\bar p$ annihilation is made in the framework of a two-step formalism, the $p\bar p$ annihilates into meson channels containing a vector meson with a subsequent conversion into a photon via the vector dominance model (VDM). Both steps are derived from the underlying quark model. First, branching ratios for radiative protonium annihilation are calculated and compared with data. Then, details of the isospin interference are studied for different models of the initial protonium state and also for different kinematical form factors. The isospin interference is shown to be uniquely connected to the $p\bar p - n\bar n $ mixing in the protonium state. Values of the interference terms directly deduced from data are consistent with theoretical expectations, indicating a dominant $p\bar p$ component for the $^1S_0$ and a sizable $n\bar n$ component for the $^3S_1$ protonium state. The analysis is extended to the $p\bar p \to γΦ$ transition, where the large observed branching ratio remains unexplained in the VDM approach.

description: Hierarchical topological representations can significantly reduce search times within mapping and localization algorithms. Although recent research has shown the potential for such approaches, limited consideration has been given to the suitability and comparative performance of different global feature representations within this context. In this work, we evaluate state-of-the-art hand-crafted and learned global descriptors using a hierarchical topological mapping technique on benchmark datasets and present results of a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of the global descriptor used. Although learned descriptors have been incorporated into place recognition methods to improve retrieval accuracy and enhance overall recall, the problem of scalability and efficiency when applied to longer trajectories has not been adequately addressed in a majority of research studies. Based on our empirical analysis of multiple runs, we identify that continuity and distinctiveness are crucial characteristics for an optimal global descriptor that enable efficient and scalable hierarchical mapping, and present a methodology for quantifying and contrasting these characteristics across different global descriptors. Our study demonstrates that the use of global descriptors based on an unsupervised learned Variational Autoencoder (VAE) excels in these characteristics and achieves significantly lower runtime. It runs on a consumer grade desktop, up to 2.3x faster than the second best global descriptor, NetVLAD, and up to 9.5x faster than the hand-crafted descriptor, PHOG, on the longest track evaluated (St Lucia, 17.6 km), without sacrificing overall recall performance.

Archaeological survey was conducted in order to determine if any archaeological material would be negatively impacted as a result of drilling operations related to tests being conducted for construction of an evaporation pond associated with the Coronado Generating Station plant site. An extensive historic and prehistoric site, NA13,488 - Ariz. Q:7:37 (MNA), was located in and adjacent to the east half of the south corridor. As a result, and due to the need for additional information concerning the site, archaeological clearance is not recommended for that 200 ft. wide, 0.5 mi. long portion of the south corridor. Archaeological clearance is recommended for the 200 ft. wide by 1.25 mi. long corridors along the remaining south and west boundaries. This file includes a nomination form for the Arizona State Register of Historic Sites.

description: In a recent paper, the complete (non-linear) Kaluza-Klein Ansatz for the consistent embedding of certain scalar plus gravity subsectors of gauged maximal supergravity in D=4, 5 and 7 was presented, in terms of sphere reductions from D=11 or type IIB supergravity. The scalar fields included in the truncations were the diagonal fields in the SL(N,R)/SO(N) scalar submanifolds of the full scalar sectors of the corresponding maximal supergravities, with N=8, 6 and 5. The embeddings were used for obtaining an interpretation of extremal D=4, 5 or 7 AdS domain walls in terms of distributed M-branes or D-branes in the higher dimensions. Although strong supporting evidence for the correctness of the embedding Ansatze was presented, a full proof of the consistency was not given. Here, we complete the proof, by showing explicitly that the full set of higher-dimensional equations of motion are satisfied if and only if the lower-dimensional fields satisfy the relevant scalar plus gravity equations.

description: In 1892 Judge Joseph H. Kibbey, one of Arizona's illustrious pioneers, described the Salt River Valley before the settlers came as a desert, uninhabited except by jack rabbits, coyotes, and rattlesnakes. Its main vegetation was sagebrush and cactus. It was a level, fertile valley about fifteen miles wide, through which the Salt River flowed west for forty miles to its junction with the Gila. The Salt River was a fluctuating stream. Sometimes it was a raging torrent which flooded the level land on either side, and sometimes it dwindled to a mere trickle. To the early settlers, stated Judge Kibbey, the water of this unstable river became an as essential to the maintenance of human life as air itself. The first homeseekers entering the Salt River Valley following the Civil War were quick to realize that the key to the development of that area was irrigation. Before them lay the remains of ancient waterways that stretched for miles along both banks of the Salt, attesting to the fact that in the dim past other civilizations had flourished there. They noted, too, that the gradual descent of the river through the valley was so gentle that at almost any point a ditch could be made. Encouraged by the prospects, early settlers cut small channels and began raising garden vegetables, as well as hay and grain, finding markets for these products in the reactivated army posts in the territory. In time, however, the agricultural potential of the valley became more apparent, and associations were organized to construct elaborate waterways capable of irrigating thousands of acres. Typical of these large-scale ventures was the Tempe Irrigating Canal Company, which for over fifty years stood as a monument to the efforts and determination of Arizona's desert pioneers to create permanent homes in a semiarid region.
Higher-loop anomalies in chiral gravities

description: The one-loop anomalies for chiral $W_{3}$ gravity are derived using the Fujikawa regularisation method. The expected two-loop anomalies are then obtained by imposing the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions on the one-loop results. The anomalies found in this way agree with those already known from explicit Feynman diagram calculations. We then directly verify that the order $\hbar^2$ non-local BRST Ward identity anomalies, arising from the ``dressing'' of the one-loop results, satisfy Lam's theorem. It is also shown that in a rigorous calculation of $Q^2$ anomaly for the BRST charge, one recovers both the non-local as well as the local anomalies. We further verify that, in chiral gravities, the non-local anomalies in the BRST Ward identity can be obtained by the application of the anomalous operator $Q^2$, calculated using operator products, to an appropriately defined gauge fermion. Finally, we give arguments to show why this relation should hold generally in reparametrisation-invariant theories.

description: On December 17-18, 1976, at the request of the Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological survey of the proposed Coal Haul Railroad Wye and an area selected as a Repair and Welding Workshop, both areas on private land. The area was surveyed from west to east beginning at surveyors stake No. 1, to a point 150 meters east and parallel to the railroad right-of-way base line. The area chosen as a repair and welding workshop includes an 800 ft. x 3000 ft. tract of land that joins the Wye at its southern extremity. A previous survey of a portion of this area by James Trott and Gail McPherson produced one site (NA14,687) warranting archaeological classification and the present survey encountered an extension of this site. No further mitigation of this site is recommended.

description: We face the complex problem of timely, accurate and mutually satisfactory mediation between job offers and suitable applicant profiles by means of semantic processing techniques. In fact, this problem has become a major challenge for all public and private recruitment agencies around the world as well as for employers and job seekers. It is widely agreed that smart algorithms for automatically matching, learning, and querying job offers and candidate profiles will provide a key technology of high importance and impact and will help to counter the lack of skilled labor and/or appropriate job positions for unemployed people. Additionally, such a framework can support global matching aiming at finding an optimal allocation of job seekers to available jobs, which is relevant for independent employment agencies, e.g. in order to reduce unemployment.
On the duality of space-trusses and plate structures of rigid plates and elastic edges
Creators: name: Baranyai, Tamás
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: Dualities have been known to map space trusses and plate structures to each other since the 1980-s. Yet the computational similarity of the two has not been used to solve the unfamiliar plate structure with the methods of the well known truss. This paper gives a method to find the forces and displacements of a plate structure with rigid plates and elastic edges, using a dual truss. It is applicable for both statically determinate and indeterminate structures, subjected to both statical and kinematical loads.

description: We demonstrate snake-like motion of graphene nanoribbons atop graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) substrates using fully-atomistic non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The sliding dynamics of the edge-pulled nanoribbons is found to be determined by the interplay between in-plane ribbon elasticity and interfacial lattice mismatch. This results in an unusual dependence of the friction-force on the ribbon's length, exhibiting an initial linear rise that levels-off above a junction dependent threshold value dictated by the pre-slip stress distribution within the slider. As part of this letter, we present the LAMMPS implementation of the registry-dependent interlayer potentials for graphene, h-BN, and their heterojunctions that were used herein, which provide enhanced performance and accuracy.
