Derivatio nominis: From Latin pertusus –a –um (adjective), perforated; referring to the somewhat large perforations of the BCs and the large ones at the base of the CFCs’ leaf-life process.
Description: Coccosphere, usually spherical in shape, consisting of c. 50–80 BCs and c. 5–10 CFCs. BCs elliptical; rim is connected to an elliptical central structure by c. 10–15 radial crystal struts of one large crystal width leaving large perforations at the perforate cycle that are consistently present. The central dome-like distal cover is formed of large angular crystallites, which are mostly arranged following the long axis. CFCs elliptical; rim is two to three crystals wide and is connected with a high and broad single-layered arched leaf-like process, made of delicate angular microcrystallites. At the base of the process, several (usually 5) large perforations, can be distinguished.
Remarks: S. molischii var. pertusa HOL is primarily separated from S. molischii var. molischii HOL by the larger size of the perforations on the BCs and by the presence of large perforations on the CFCs at the base of the process. In addition, the BCs of S. molischii var. pertusa are smaller and more narrowly elliptical.
Dimensions: Coccosphere diameter c. 5.5 μm; BCs c. 0.8 μm long x 0.6 μm wide. CFCs c. 0.7–0.8 μm long; distal process c. 2.0 μm high.
Holotype: Digital image 151705 (Plate 1, Fig. 4), deposited at ICM (CSIC), Barcelona, Spain.
Paratype: Specimens illustrated at Plate 1, Figs. 5–6.
Type locality: Station Hivern-99 25, 60 m water depth, collected from the NW Mediterranean Sea (40.82ºN, 2.75ºE) on 26 February 1999.
Number of specimens studied: 8
Distribution: Sub-tropical waters.

description: In this work we study the flow of holographic entanglement entropy in dimensions $d \geq 3$ in the gauge/gravity duality set up. We observe that a generalized entanglement temperature $T_g$ can be defined which gives the Hawking temperature $T_H$ in the infrared region and leads to a generalized thermodynamics like law $E= \left(\frac{d-1}{d}\right)T_g~S_{REE}$, which becomes an exact relation in the entire region of the subsystem size $l$, including both the infrared ($l\rightarrow\infty$) as well as the ultraviolet ($l\rightarrow 0$) regions. Furthermore, in the IR limit, $T_g$ produces the Hawking temperature $T_H$ along with some correction terms which bears the signature of short distance correlations along the entangling surface. Moreover, for $d\geq 3$, the IR limit of the renormalized holographic entanglement entropy gives the thermal entropy of the black hole as the leading term, however, does not have a logarithmic correction to the leading term unlike the BTZ black hole ($d=2$) case. The generalized entanglement temperature $T_g$ also firmly captures the quantum mechanical to thermal crossover in the dual field theory at a critical value $l_c$ of the subsystem size in the boundary which we graphically represent for $AdS_{3+1}$ and $AdS_{4+1}$ black holes. We observe that this critical value $l_c$ where the crossover takes place decreases with increase in the dimension of the spacetime.

Variable Fine Structure Constant from Maximal-Acceleration Phase Space Relativity

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

description: We presented a new physical model that links the maximum speed of light with the minimal Planck scale into a maximal-acceleration Relativity principle in the spacetime tangent bundle and in phase spaces (cotangent bundle). The maximal proper-acceleration bound is a = c^2/ Λin full agreement with the old predictions of Caianiello, the Finslerian geometry point of view of Brandt and more recent results in the literature. Inspired by the maximal-acceleration corrections to the Lamb shifts of one-electron atoms by Lambiase, Papini and Scarpetta, we derive the exact integral equation that governs the Renormalization-Group-like scaling dependence of the fractional change of the fine structure constant as a function of the cosmological redshift factor and a cutoff scale L_c, where the maximal acceleration relativistic effects are dominant. A particular physical model exists dominated entirely by the vacuum energy, when the cutoff scale is the Planck scale, with Ω_Λ\sim 1 . The implications of this extreme case scenario are studied.

The biology of mesenchymal stem cells and the utility of the cellular therapy in Multiple Sclerosis
Creators: name: Ali, Rehiana
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the commonest cause of neurological disability in young adults and affects about 100 000 people in the UK. Although there are a number of licensed treatment options there remains an urgent need for neuro-protective and reparative strategies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a heterogeneous population of cells found in a variety of connective tissue of which bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) are the best characterised. They are multi-potent cells which interact with the adaptive and innate immune system either via direct cell contact or release of soluble factors. The mechanisms to induce peripheral tolerance are well described but varied; the clinical relevance of these, however, is not clear. The Stem cells in Rapidly Evolving Active Multiple Sclerosis (STREAMS) trial was a small phase 2, double-blind randomised controlled cross-over trial of a single intravenous dose of 1-2 x 106 BM-MSCs/kg in MS patients whose objective was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MSCs. It formed part of a wider collaborative study in MS (MESEMS). 13 patients had successful BM harvests with a mean yield of 3.21 x 106 cells/kg (range 1.66 – 6.78 x 106) but a further six failed to reach the required dose and were withdrawn. There were no significant adverse events in the trial. No significant reduction in the relapse rate, changes in disability measurement or patient reported outcomes was observed. Immunological changes detected ex- vivo included a reduced cell frequency of pathogenic cells such as Th1 and CD1c+ mDCs and an increase was noted in B10 regs post-MSC infusion however the study was under-powered to conclude any significant benefit. There was an increase in the level of TSLP in the CSF which warrants further investigation. Preliminary results from MESEMS confirm safety but failed to demonstrate efficacy of MSCs in reducing enhancing lesions on MRI. Overall, we conclude that MSC therapy appears feasible and safe but no significant evidence exists for clinical therapeutic efficacy.

description: Oligoryzomys microtis (Allen, 1916)
 VOUCHER MATERIAL: El Diamante: 3 adult females (MUSM 39283, 39284; FMNH 203506); Tingana: 1 adult male (FMNH 203676); Waqanki: 1 adult female (MUSM 39282); see table 24 for measurements.
 IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of Oligoryzomys microtis provided by Olds and Anderson (1987; as Oryzomys microtis), Anderson (1997), Patton et al. (2000), Voss et al. (2001), Hice and Velazco (2012), Weksler and Bonvicino (2015b), and Pardiñas (2017b). No subspecies are currently recognized in O. microtis (Weksler and Bonvicino, 2015b; Pardiñas, 2017b). Oligoryzomys microtis is characterized by the following characteristics: dorsal fur dull yellowish brown, finely lined with blacktipped hairs; ventral fur white; upper surfaces of feet thinly covered with light buffy brown hairs; ears small, brownish, and nearly naked; eight mammae; stapedial foramen with large opening, indicating carotid circulation pattern 2 (Weksler and Bonvicino, 2015b; Pardiñas, 2017b). Our specimens conform to previous descriptions of the species, and measurements fall within the range of size variation previously documented.
 REMARKS: The specimen collected at the Tingana location was caught at the edge of a renacal (flooded forest of Coussapoa trinervia). All the other specimens were caught in cultivated areas. Lareschi and Velazco (2013) reported the mite Laelaps paulistanensis from our specimens.

Subjects: Celebrities, Branding, Influence, Public Trust, Fashion Trends

description: Celebrities hold a unique status in the public eye, drawing an abundance of attention and influence, sometimes to the extent that they themselves find overwhelming. Yet, for brands, this level of attention is a coveted asset. Celebrities serve as a dependable means for brands to achieve heightened visibility in the market. In today's world, gaining popularity equates to acquiring a superpower, one that enables the capacity to shape public opinion, influence minds, and earn the trust of millions. Such a position is precisely where brands aspire to be. Celebrities establish a profound connection with the public, rooted in trust, belief, affection, and a dedicated following. People often aspire to emulate their beloved celebrities, seeking an association with these iconic figures, yearning for shared experiences with their favorite stars, and envisioning a life akin to theirs. This emulation extends to celebrity-inspired attire, footwear, makeup styles, hairdos, personal grooming, and more
The selective and sensitive detection of protein biomarkers using aptamer-based nanosensors
Creators: name: Edwards, Benjamin James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: A multitude of diseases are known to have specific biomarkers yet detection with high specificity and selectivity remains highly challenging. For example, single molecule-based fluorescence techniques while highly sensitive, requires labelling with expensive fluorescent tags, as well as recognition elements (e.g. antibodies) if detection is to be carried out in complex solutions. Such labelling compromises the biophysical properties of the analyte likely resulting in altered aggregation. To address these limitations, the PhD project aimed to combine the single molecule and label-free detection granted by nanopores with highly specific single stranded oligonucleotides known as aptamers in order to detect biologically relevant proteins. The aptamer-based nanosensor was constructed in a two-step method. An initial silanisation step carried out in the vapour phase allowed the formation of a mono-silane layer with a terminal methacrylate functional group, which in turn allowed a thiol-modified aptamer to be added via click chemistry-based Michael addition. Characterisation of the developed sensor was carried out electrochemically via in-situ I-V curves, while further confirmation could be seen through the presence of substantial current blockades upon addition of complementary (to the aptamer) nucleotide sequences. The primary aim of the project was to detect thrombin, a biomarker which has links to Multiple Sclerosis and cancer. Thrombin provided an excellent initial target due to its well characterised structure alongside a high affinity (kD = 0.5 nM) binding aptamer. Characterisation of the developed sensor was initially carried out via concentration and voltage-based assays, before showing that the aptamer-based nanosensor could not only be regenerated but also carried out in multi-protein solutions. In addition, highly cytotoxic alpha synuclein oligomers; the likely biomarkers of Parkinson’s Disease have been detected. After a concentration-based assay, it was shown that the (anti-oligomer) aptamer specifically targeted a specific oligomer sub-type when samples were detected over a range of different aggregation timepoints. Overall the developed aptamer-based nanosensor is able to specifically detect high-value biomarkers at ultra-low concentrations, underlying its potential to be used in the healthcare industry.

description: Homogeneous and isotropic turbulent fields obtained from two DNS databases (with $\mbox{Re}_λ$ equal to 150 and 418) were seeded with point particles that moved with the local fluid velocity to obtain Lagrangian pressure histories. Motivated by cavitation inception modeling, the statistics of events in which such particles undergo low-pressure fluctuations were computed, parameterized by the amplitude of the fluctuations and by their duration. The main results are the average frequencies of these events and the probabilistic distribution of their duration, which are of predictive value. A connection is also established between these average frequencies and the pressure probability density function, thus justifying experimental methods proposed in the literature. Further analyses of the data show that the occurrence of very-low-pressure events is highly intermittent and is associated with worm-like vortical structures of length comparable to the integral scale of the flow.

description: Additional file 4: Supplementary material 3: Multivariate Cox regression model including smoking information (keep or remove missing values). As smokers or patients with specific malignancies could have increased CEA levels without any correlation with COVID-19, all patients with primary malignancy were excluded from the study. Furthermore, in order to identify the association between CEA levels and smoking, two subgroup Cox proportional hazard regression models including smoking status (keep or remove missing values) were constructed, suggesting that the CEA level (HR 0.547; 95% CI 0.318 to 0.940; P = 0.037) (remove missing values) (HR 0.620; 95% CI 0.384 to 0.990; P = 0.048) (keep missing values) was still an independent prognostic indicator for COVID-19 patients.
Characterisation of a unique epitope at the non-reducing end of the Brucella O-polysaccharide
Creators: name: Duncombe, Lucy
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Brucellosis is a global zoonosis caused by the Gram negative bacteria Brucella. In animals the disease causes reproductive complications and in humans the disease causes debilitating illness. There is no vaccine for humans, wildlife or swine and the licensed vaccines for ruminants are protective but have disadvantages. The vaccines are live attenuated strains that can cause abortions in livestock. Humans can become infected by these vaccine strains. In animals the most protective vaccines contain O-polysaccharides (OPS) which induce antibodies that cannot be differentiated, by serodiagnostic tests, from antibodies raised during Brucella infection. The O-polysaccharide (OPS) of Brucella species is an unbranched homopolymer of 4,6-dideoxy-4-formamido-α-D-mannopyranosyl residues (D-Rha4NFo). These residues are linked either by α1-2 or α1-3 glycosidic linkages. It is the sequence of these linkages that define the different epitopes of Brucella OPS. There are currently three described epitopes of the Brucella OPS that co-exist within the same OPS molecule; the A, M and C/Y epitopes. There is also a fourth epitope, the C epitope, which has not yet been formally agreed upon. The aim of this project was to determine whether the terminal D-Rha4NFo residues at the non-reducing end of the Brucella OPS form a previously undescribed series of tip epitope structures, defined by the necessity of inclusion of the terminal D-Rha4NFo to enable antibody binding. The putative tip epitope was investigated by comparing antibody binding to whole cells, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), modified (so as to remove the tip) OPS and synthetic oligosaccharide-BSA antigens. The oligosaccharide-BSA antigens represent different epitopes and permit discrimination of different antibody populations. Results showed that terminal residues at the non-reducing end of the OPS bind antibodies and these antibodies are a separate anti-tip antibody population, different from the antibodies induced by the internal linear epitopes of the OPS. Antibody binding studies showed that the in-tact terminal D-Rha4NFo is required for antibody binding to the tip epitope. Mice immunised with modified OPS-glycoconjugates, with linear epitopes and no tip epitope, raised anti-linear antibodies but did not raise anti-tip antibodies. These findings may show a pathway towards the generation of an OPS-glycoconjugate vaccine for brucellosis that permits differentiation of infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) when paired with oligosaccharide-BSA diagnostic antigens containing the tip and M epitope. This is important for supporting livestock vaccination programmes to control brucellosis in order to reduce its impact upon human and animal health.

Subjects: English Language, Kuwaiti Learners, Language Acquisition, Learning Difficulties, Language Education

description: The English language's global prominence is undebatable, serving as a lingua franca across the world. It boasts the status of an academic language and a medium of instruction in most countries. Additionally, it holds the official language designation in numerous nations and is widely taught and used as a medium of instruction in the Arab world. This linguistic influence extends its reach to countless regions. However, despite numerous studies delving into the learning challenges faced by adult Arabic speakers when acquiring English, a specific examination of this issue within the context of Kuwaiti learners of English remains conspicuously absent. This research endeavors to bridge this gap by providing an in-depth exploration of the unique learning difficulties experienced by Kuwaiti learners of English. By shedding light on the intricacies of this specific language learning context, this study contributes to a broader understanding of language acquisition challenges and facilitates targeted pedagogical approaches to address these issues

Since recently the species was noted for Bulgaria and Romania without exact data (CATPAL 1: JAEGER & KATAEV 2003: 403), here it is firstly noted with detailed data for both countries.

description: Explicit solutions to the conifold equations with complex dimension $n=3,4$ in terms of {\it{complex coordinates (fields)}} are employed to construct the Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on these manifolds. The Kähler 2-forms are found to be closed. The complex realization of these conifold metrics are used in the construction of 2-dimensional non-linear sigma model with the conifolds as target spaces. The action for the sigma model is shown to be bounded from below. By a suitable choice of the 'integration constants', arising in the solution of Ricci flatness requirement, the metric and the equations of motion are found to be {\it{non-singular}}. As the target space is Ricci flat, the perturbative 1-loop counter terms being absent, the model becomes topological. The inherent U(1) fibre over the base of the conifolds is shown to correspond to a gauge connection in the sigma model. The same procedure is employed to construct the metric for the resolved conifold, in terms of complex coordinates and the action for a non-linear sigma model with resolved conifold as target space, is found to have a minimum value, which is topological. The metric is expressed in terms of the six real coordinates and compared with earlier works. The harmonic function, which is the warp factor in Type II-B string theory, is obtained and the ten-dimensional warped metric has the $AdS_{5}\times X_{5}$ geometry.

description: We use a thermal model with single freeze-out to determine longitudinal polarization of $Λ$ hyperons emitted from a hot and rotating hadronic medium. We consider the top RHIC energies and use the model parameters determined in the previous analyses of particle spectra and elliptic flow. Using a direct connection between the spin polarization tensor and thermal vorticity, we reproduce earlier results which indicate a quadrupole structure of the longitudinal component of the polarization three-vector with an opposite sign compared to that found in the experiment. We further use only the spatial components of the thermal vorticity in the laboratory system to define polarization and show that this leads to the correct sign and magnitude of the quadrupole structure. This procedure resembles a non-relativistic connection between the polarization three-vector and vorticity employed in other works. In general, our results bring further evidence that the spin polarization dynamics in heavy-ion collisions may be not directly related to the thermal vorticity. The additional material explains the construction of the hydrodynamicaly consistent gradients of fluid velocity and temperature in thermal models with the help of the perfect-fluid equations of motion.

First-Order "Hyper-selective" Binding Transition of Multivalent Particles Under Force

description: Multivalent particles bind to targets via many independent ligand-receptor bonding interactions. This microscopic design spans length scales in both synthetic and biological systems. Classic examples include interactions between cells, virus binding, synthetic ligand-coated micrometer-scale vesicles or smaller nano-particles, functionalised polymers, and toxins. Equilibrium multivalent binding is a continuous yet super-selective transition with respect to the number of ligands and receptors involved in the interaction. Increasing the ligand or receptor density on the two particles leads to sharp growth in the number of bound particles at equilibrium. Here we present a theory and Monte Carlo simulations to show that applying mechanical force to multivalent particles causes their adsorption/desorption isotherm on a surface to become sharper and more selective, with respect to variation in the number of ligands and receptors on the two objects. When the force is only applied to particles bound to the surface by one or more ligands, then the transition can become infinitely sharp and first-order---a new binding regime which we term "hyper-selective". Force may be imposed by, e.g. flow of solvent around the particles, a magnetic field, chemical gradients, or triggered uncoiling of inert oligomers/polymers tethered to the particles to provide a steric repulsion to the surface. This physical principle is a step towards "all or nothing" binding selectivity in the design of multivalent constructs.
Functional dissection of myosin motors from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Creators: name: Blake, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: The symptoms of malaria arise from cycles of red blood cell (RBC) invasion by Plasmodium spp. merozoites. This process has been studied by video microscopy for 50 years and the ordered stages of invasion have been well established for much longer. Merozoite entry is rapid and actively powered by a parasite acto-myosin motor. The canonical model for force production depends on arrays of a myosin motor (MyoA) working against short actin filaments connected to the external substrate. However, the molecular processes that underlie these well-described events, and the energetic barriers that the merozoite must overcome, remain unclear. Though MyoA has been shown to be critical for invasion of other parasite stages and species, the importance of MyoA has not been shown for Plasmodium falciparum merozoites. Work on other parasites has uncovered retrograde flow of plasma membrane and host cell activity as other sources of force production, casting doubt on the mechanical role of MyoA. Answering these questions has been hampered by limited structural understanding of the acto-myosin system in merozoites. In this study, conditional genetic modification of P. falciparum MyoA (PfMyoA) showed it is critical for invasion. The transgenic platform was then adapted for other motor proteins, showing that PfMyoA light chain PfELC is also critical but auxiliary motor PfMyoB is not. The range of defects in these mutants uncovered three distinct energetic barriers during merozoite invasion. Finally, probing the arrangement of the motor by electron microscopy revealed a multi-member complex of PfMyoA. Together, this study re-affirms the importance of PfMyoA for merozoite invasion and illuminates the energetic barriers that the motor is required to overcome.
Kinematic sum rules for trace anomalies

description: I derive a procedure to generate sum rules for the trace anomalies a and a'. Linear combinations of Delta a = a_UV-a_IR and Delta a' = a'_UV-a'_IR are expressed as multiple flow integrals of the two-, three- and four-point functions of the trace of the stress tensor. Eliminating Delta a', universal flow invariants are obtained, in particular sum rules for Delta a. The formulas hold in the most general renormalizable quantum field theory (unitary or not), interpolating between UV and IR conformal fixed points. I discuss the relevance of these sum rules for the issue of the irreversibility of the RG flow. The procedure can be generalized to derive sum rules for the trace anomaly c.

description: We discuss a new class of string and p-brane models where the string/brane tension appears as an additional dynamical degree of freedom instead of being introduced by hand as an ad hoc dimensionfull scale. The latter property turns out to have a significant impact on the string/brane dynamics. The dynamical tension obeys Maxwell (or Yang-Mills) equations of motion (in the string case) or their rank p gauge theory analogues (in the p-brane case), which in particular triggers a simple classical mechanism of ("color") charge confinement.

description: All possible interactions of a point particle with background electromagnetic, gravitational and higher-spin fields is considered in the two-time physics worldline formalism in (d,2) dimensions. This system has a counterpart in a recent formulation of two-time physics in non-commutative field theory with local Sp(2) symmetry. In either the worldline or field theory formulation, a general Sp(2) algebraic constraint governs the interactions, and determines equations that the background fields of any spin must obey. The constraints are solved in the classical worldline formalism (h-bar=0 limit) as well as in the field theory formalism (all powers of h-bar). The solution in both cases coincide for a certain 2T to 1T holographic image which describes a relativistic particle interacting with background fields of any spin in (d-1,1) dimensions. Two disconnected branches of solutions exist, which seem to have a correspondence as massless states in string theory, one containing low spins in the zero Regge slope limit, and the other containing high spins in the infinite Regge slope limit.

description: Fractional partial differential equations (FDEs) are used to describe phenomena that involve a "non-local" or "long-range" interaction of some kind. Accurate and practical numerical approximation of their solutions is challenging due to the dense matrices arising from standard discretization procedures. In this paper, we begin to extend the well-established computational toolkit of Discrete Exterior Calculus (DEC) to the fractional setting, focusing on proper discretization of the fractional derivative. We define a Caputo-like fractional discrete derivative, in terms of the standard discrete exterior derivative operator from DEC, weighted by a measure of distance between $p$-simplices in a simplicial complex. We discuss key theoretical properties of the fractional discrete derivative and compare it to the continuous fractional derivative via a series of numerical experiments.

Supplementary material 1: Converged multivariate Cox regression model including 5 potential prognostic laboratory indicators with significance in univariate analysis (remove missing values). In the cohort where missing values were removed, only the regression models, respectively, including AST, ALT, ferritin, D-dimer and PLT were converged (due to the uneven distribution of some variables level and events number when removing missing values), suggesting that CEA was an independent prognostic factor in all multivariate models and both normal PLT (HR = 0.635, 95% CI (0.408 to 0.990), P = 0.045) and normal ferritin (HR = 0.094, 95% CI (0.010 to 0.860), P = 0.037) were also independent favorable factors compared abnormal levels.
