description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global epidemic, current treatment options are ineffective and do not restore kidney injury. The emerging field of regenerative medicine has shown promise to repair and restore an injured organ such as the kidney. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can provide an unlimited source of any cell type, including kidney podocytes (iPSC-PODs), that can be harnessed for therapeutic use. This thesis investigates the transplantation of monolayer iPSC-PODs into newborn mouse kidneys. The second part of the thesis focuses on using these iPSC-PODs and three- dimensional (3D) kidney organoids to model an inherited glomerular disease called Alport syndrome.
Growth of fat slits and dispersionless KP hierarchy

description: A "fat slit" is a compact domain in the upper half plane bounded by a curve with endpoints on the real axis and a segment of the real axis between them. We consider conformal maps of the upper half plane to the exterior of a fat slit parameterized by harmonic moments of the latter and show that they obey an infinite set of Lax equations for the dispersionless KP hierarchy. Deformation of a fat slit under changing a particular harmonic moment can be treated as a growth process similar to the Laplacian growth of domains in the whole plane. This construction extends the well known link between solutions to the dispersionless KP hierarchy and conformal maps of slit domains in the upper half plane and provides a new, large family of solutions.

description: A new instrument for high resolution imaging of fast-neutrons is presented here. It is designed for energy selective radiography in nanosecond-pulsed broad-energy (1 - 10 MeV) neutron beams. The device presented here is based on hydrogenous scintillator screens and single- or multiple-gated intensified camera systems (ICCD). A key element is a newly developed optical amplifier which generates sufficient light for the high-speed intensified camera system, even from such faint light sources as fast plastic and liquid scintillators. Utilizing the Time-of-Flight (TOF) method, the detector incorporating the above components is capable of simultaneously taking up to 8 images, each at a different neutron energy.

description: Objective: To identify liking, acceptability, and purchase intent of salads prepared from amaranth microgreens in a mixture with lettuce and carrots. Design/Methodology/Approach: Seven formulations of amaranth microgreens, lettuce, and carrots were made. The study was conducted through a centralized location consumer study. The level of liking was measured with a 9-point hedonic scale, while acceptability and purchase intent were measured with a binomial scale. Results: In general, consumers indicated that they liked salad samples within a range of 6 (liked slightly) and 7 (liked moderately). Formulation 7 (with the highest proportion of carrot) was pleasant to the consumer in aftertaste, flavor, and overall liking. Formulation 3 (a balanced mixture of its three ingredients) was liked in its attributes: colors, texture, appearance, and smell. Overall liking had a significant impact on purchase intent. Study Limitations/Implications: Study results represent only the segment of the surveyed population, most of which are young people between 18 and 25 years old (60%). Findings/Conclusions: Amaranth aroma can impact the liking of amaranth microgreen-based salads without causing rejection. The use of carrots in combination with amaranth microgreens can improve the acceptability of salads. Salad formulations with amaranth proportions of 22 to 33.3% have more opportunity in their purchase intent.

description: In signal detection problems, one is usually faced with the task of searching a parameter space for peaks in the likelihood function which indicate the presence of a signal. Random searches have proven to be very efficient as well as easy to implement, compared e.g. to searches along regular grids in parameter space. Knowledge of the parameterised shape of the signal searched for adds structure to the parameter space, i.e., there are usually regions requiring to be densely searched while in other regions a coarser search is sufficient. On the other hand, prior information identifies the regions in which a search will actually be promising or may likely be in vain. Defining specific figures of merit allows one to combine both template metric and prior distribution and devise optimal sampling schemes over the parameter space. We show an example related to the gravitational wave signal from a binary inspiral event. Here the template metric and prior information are particularly contradictory, since signals from low-mass systems tolerate the least mismatch in parameter space while high-mass systems are far more likely, as they imply a greater signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and hence are detectable to greater distances. The derived sampling strategy is implemented in a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm where it improves convergence.

Reformulating the two-fluid equations, the set of simultaneous linear equations for the perturbations have been derived. Using a local approximation, the one-dimensional radial propagation of Alfvén and high frequency electromagnetic waves are investigated. The dispersion relation for these waves is obtained and solved numerically for the wave number.

description: This thesis investigated the evolution of true seals, by describing monachine fossils from Australasia. Some of these fossils are monk seals, a monachine group only known from the Northern Hemisphere today. Evolutionary analyses revealed that the monachines evolved in the Southern Hemisphere, and not the north as previously assumed. The small size of ancient true seals was not an adaptation to warm environments. Therefore sea level changes, rather than temperature, resulted in the extinction of ancient monachines in the past. The true seals from Australasia have consequently rewritten everything we thought we knew about true seal evolution.

description: The visibility algorithm has been recently introduced as a mapping between time series and complex networks. This procedure allows to apply methods of complex network theory for characterizing time series. In this work we present the horizontal visibility algorithm, a geometrically simpler and analytically solvable version of our former algorithm, focusing on the mapping of random series (series of independent identically distributed random variables). After presenting some properties of the algorithm, we present exact results on the topological properties of graphs associated to random series, namely the degree distribution, clustering coefficient, and mean path length. We show that the horizontal visibility algorithm stands as a simple method to discriminate randomness in time series, since any random series maps to a graph with an exponential degree distribution of the shape P(k) = (1/3)(2/3)**(k-2), independently of the probability distribution from which the series was generated. Accordingly, visibility graphs with other P(k) are related to non-random series. Numerical simulations confirm the accuracy of the theorems for finite series. In a second part, we show that the method is able to distinguish chaotic series from i.i.d. theory, studying the following situations: (i) noise-free low-dimensional chaotic series, (ii) low-dimensional noisy chaotic series, even in the presence of large amounts of noise, and (iii) high-dimensional chaotic series (coupled map lattice), without needs for additional techniques such as surrogate data or noise reduction methods. Finally, heuristic arguments are given to explain the topological properties of chaotic series and several sequences which are conjectured to be random are analyzed.
Decreased Odds for Vasospasm Treatment in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage after Transitioning from Neurosurgery Led Care to a Neurology Led Multidisciplinary Approach
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Introduction—The limited research on the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhages(aSAHs) has not assessed the efficacy of neurology-led care. Our objective was to describe aSAH patients’outcomes after transitioning from a neurosurgery-led intensive care unit (ICU) to a neurology-led multidis‐ciplinary care neurocritical care unit (NCCU). The study hypothesis was that the neurology-led multidisci‐plinary care would improve patient outcomes.Methods—This was a retrospective cohort study. We included patients (≥ 18) with aSAHs from 1/16 to8/16 (pregroup) and from 3/17 to 11/17 (postgroup). The pregroup care was led by a neurosurgeon. Thepostgroup care included a neurologist, a pulmonary intensivist, a neurocritical care clinical nurse specialist,a neurosurgeon, and euvolemia protocol. The primary outcome was trips to interventional radiology (IR)for vasospasm treatment. Univariate analyses and multivariable ordinal logistic regression were used.Results—There were 99 patients included: 50 in the pregroup and 49 in the postgroup. On average, post‐group patients were 7 years older than the pregroup (p = 0.05); no other demographic or clinical character‐istics significantly differed. The odds were 62% lower that the postgroup had a higher number of trips to IRfor vasospasm treatment, when compared to the pregroup, p < 0.001.Conclusions—In aSAH patients, the neurology-led multidisciplinary care in the NCCU decreased theodds of repeated procedures for vasospasm treatment. Neurology-led multidisciplinary care could be morecost-effective than the neurosurgical-led care.

description: Introgression plays a key role in adaptive evolution and species diversification in many groups of species. However, frequent hybridization and gene flow between species makes estimation of the species phylogeny and key population parameters challenging. Here, we show that by accounting for phasing and by using full-likelihood analysis methods, introgression histories and population parameters can be estimated reliably from whole-genome sequence data. We employ full-likelihood methods under the multispecies coalescent (MSC) model with and without gene flow to analyze the genomic data from six members of the erato-sara clade of Heliconius butterflies to infer the species phylogeny and cross-species introgression events. The methods naturally accommodate random fluctuations in genealogical history across the genome due to deep coalescence. To avoid heterozygote phasing errors in haploid sequences commonly produced by genome assembly methods, we process and compile unphased diploid sequence alignments, and use analytical methods to average over uncertainties in heterozygote phase resolution. There is robust evidence of introgression across the genome, both between distantly related species deep in the phylogeny and between sister species in shallow parts of the tree. We obtain chromosome-specific estimates of key population parameters such as introgression directions, times and probabilities and species divergence times and population sizes for modern and ancestral species. We confirm ancestral gene flow between the sara clade and an ancestral population of H. telesiphe, a likely hybrid speciation origin for H. hecalesia, and gene flow between sister species H. erato and H. himera. Inferred introgression among ancestral species also explains the history of two chromosomal inversions deep in the phylogeny of the group. This study illustrates how a full-likelihood approach based on the multispecies coalescent makes it possible to extract rich historical information of species divergence and gene flow from genomic data.

description: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a condition which causes the kidneys to lose its function due to the development of multiple cysts. It is caused by mutations in several genes such as INPP5E or PKD1/2. This thesis shows that genetic knockout of Inpp5e or Pkd1 in conjunction with Aurora Kinase A (Aurka) can ameliorate PKD in mice, thereby identifying AURKA as a contributor to this condition. The mechanism by which AURKA causes PKD is also explored. Overall, this thesis suggests that the development of drugs which disrupt AURKA may prove promising for PKD treatment.
The vision of alienation : an analytical approach to the works of Patrick White
Creators: name: Schermbrucker, William Gerald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study of Patrick White's work is chiefly concerned with the first four novels, but refers also to some poetry, the short stories, the plays and the three later novels. It traces the development of themes and techniques in these four novels in terms of artistic vision and the rendering of that vision. The early, experimental works, up to The Living and the Dead are treated at considerable length, chiefly to show how the later developments are basically improvements and variations on the themes and techniques which have already been used. A second reason for the length of this part of the treatment is that, in the existing criticism of White, these early works are almost entirely ignored. There is need for reappraisal (over and above the original review articles which are about all that exist), and this study makes a modest attempt at this. The middle period, to which belong The Aunt’s Story and The Tree of Man (as well as one play and some stories), is presented as the high point of maturity, both of technique and of the vision which the technique embodies. The works have a high degree of structural integration and the vision is presented with great clarity and imaginative appeal. The later novels, Voss, Riders in the Chariot and The Solid Mandala, continue the use of developed techniques from the middle period. There is an imaginative boldness of design in these later novels, but the themes reveal a vision which appears to be declining into personal reverie and dream. In this period White seems to lose the ability to maintain the stance of integrity-in-isolation which he has asserted in the two preceding novels, and appears instead to seek some kind of mystic communion for his heroes. These interpretations of the later novels are suggested, but not argued in his study; they have been argued in several published articles. In part, it is this discrepancy between the mystical or basically symbolic vision of the later novels and the un-symbolic, essentially naturalistic vision of the earlier period, which has defined the limitations of the thesis presented. At the present stage of critical interpretation, the vision of the later period appears less significant than the earlier vision. In order that we may resolve the apparent differences between the two visions, it is necessary first to define the earlier vision. This study analyses the earlier works, for that purpose. In the final chapter, a suggestion is offered as to how the later novels might be approached in a way that would show the later vision to be a consistent development of the earlier vision, through a boldly symbolic technique. Above all, this study concentrates on White's vision of the alienated state of man, as the central pre-occupation of his earlier works. It analyses the techniques by which this vision is rendered, examining the tests of the four novels more closely than has been done in any criticism published to date.

description: This thesis describes the structural, kinetic and biophysical characterization of the M1 and M17 enzymes from the two leading causes of malaria in humans, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, and the murine model species, Plasmodium berghei. We discovered a novel mechanism of M17 enzyme regulation through manipulation of the active conformation, profiled the extended substrate specificity fingerprints of the Plasmodium M1 and M17 enzymes, and demonstrated the ability of small inhibitory molecules to achieve cross-species and dual-enzyme potency. As Plasmodium M1 and M17 enzymes are validated targets for new anti-malarials, this work will assist in designing effective novel therapeutics.

description: This strategy document prepared by the LIBSENSE Working Group on Infrastructure outlines a roadmap for implementing Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) in Africa. PIDs serve as long-lasting references to digital objects, enhancing the cohesion and discoverability of African scholarly content.

 Embracing open infrastructure and prioritising PIDs can increase African scholarly outputs, improve visibility and accessibility, and make research data FAIR. The roadmap recommends selecting open, non-commercial, and community-driven PID systems, developing appropriate governance and finance models, establishing national and regional PIDs consortia, and advocating for flexible fee models. It addresses barriers, fosters collaboration, and ensures sustainable implementation and adoption of PIDs in African research and scholarly communication.

description: A small prototype of a finely granulated digital hadron calorimeter with Resistive Plate Chambers as active elements was exposed to positive pions of 1 >. 16 GeV energy from the Fermilab test beam. The event selection separates events with mostly non-interacting particles and events with hadronic showers which initiated in the front part of the calorimeter. The data are compared to a Monte Carlo simulation of the set-up. The paper concludes with predictions for the performance of an extended digital hadron calorimeter.

description: We have performed holographic interferometry measurements of the dissolution of the (010) plane of a cleaved gypsum single crystal in pure water. These experiments have provided the value of the dissolution rate constant k of gypsum in water and the value of the interdiffusion coefficient D of its aqueous species in water. D is 1.0 x 10^-9 m2 s^-1, a value close to the theoretical value generally used in dissolution studies. k is 4 x 10^-5 mol m^-2 s^-1. It directly characterizes the microscopic transfer rate at the solid-liquid interface, and is not an averaged value deduced from quantities measured far from the surface as in macroscopic dissolution experiments. It is found to be two times lower than the value obtained from macroscopic experiments.

Addressing Whiteness and Racism in Clinical Psychology: White Clinical Psychologists’ Experiences within Leadership
Creators: name: Williams, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2022
Subjects: Clinical Psychology
Whiteness
Racism

Leadership

description: The profession of Clinical Psychology, both in its past and present, has been greatly impacted by whiteness. Due to this, it is important to consider how whiteness affects Clinical Psychologist’s leadership within teams as, among many things, it will impact the staff they manage. As white Clinical Psychologists are the main benefactors of whiteness within the profession and are overrepresented in leadership positions, the study aimed to explore their experiences of addressing whiteness within their leadership roles. Thirteen self-identified white Clinical Psychologists were interviewed on their experiences of addressing whiteness and racism in leadership and their experiences of barriers to and facilitators of examining whiteness and anti-racist leadership. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis identified three superordinate themes, each with its own sub-themes: ‘Life Being Ignorant is Less Painful’ (‘Whiteness Isn’t at the Forefront of My Mind’, ‘Too Uncomfortable to Confront Whiteness’); Careful, Shameful Conversations – ‘Treading on Eggshells’ (‘More Careful’, ‘More Shame and Guilt’); Don’t Know How to be Anti-Racist – ‘I Don’t Know What To Do’ (Burden on Racialised Staff as ‘Trainers’, ‘Not Doing Enough’, Rationalisations for a Lack of Change – ‘I’m Making Excuses Now’, Attempts to Encourage Change – ‘Working on Being Actively Anti-racist’). Barriers to and facilitators of addressing whiteness were discussed, and recommendations for the profession were made. It is hoped that the study’s findings may influence white Clinical Psychologists in leadership positions to examine whiteness within their roles and consider how whiteness affects colleagues. Through the examination of whiteness alongside recognising and harnessing their power and responsibility to address it, they can challenge the harmful status quo.

description: My PhD is related to the study of bacteria. Bacteria navigates its movement by detecting the environmental chemical cues through a process known as chemotaxis. These chemical cues can either be nutrients or toxic compounds. Chemotaxis is mediated by a group of proteins called chemoreceptors. In my PhD, I have determined the structure and function of three bacterial chemoreceptors from Campylobacter jejuni, Vibrio fischeri and Helicobacter pylori. The findings of my PhD thesis may be useful for designing new therapeutics against pathogenic bacteria.

description: Κατά της διάρκεια της συναναστροφής του με τον έξω κόσμο, είναι δεδομένο ότι ο άνθρωπος οφείλει να τηρεί κάποιους βασικούς κανόνες, οι οποίοι εξασφαλίζουν την ασφάλειά του ίδιου και των γύρω του. Ένα κομμάτι αυτών των κανόνων είναι αυτοί που απαρτίζουν τη κυκλοφοριακή αγωγή. Από πολύ μικρή ηλικία, οι άνθρωποι στο ρόλο του μαθητή ενημερώνονται και εκπαιδεύονται για τους βασικούς κανόνες κυκλοφοριακής αγωγής, κάτι που εξασφαλίζει την ασφάλειά τους στη καθημερινή ζωή ως πεζοί και ως επιβάτες ενός οχήματος. Οι προσπάθειες αυτές έχουν συσπειρωθεί γύρω από ενημερώσεις των μαθητών μέσω προφορικού λόγου, διαδραστικών ψηφιακών μέσων και δημιουργία φορητών ή μονίμων πάρκων κυκλοφοριακής αγωγής. Με τη τεχνολογία να γίνεται αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι των ανθρώπων σε όλο και μικρότερη ηλικία, είναι αναγκαίο να προσαρμόσουμε αυτές τις προσπάθειες στις τάσεις της σύγχρονης κοινωνίας. Με αυτό κατά νου, θα εστιάσουμε στα ψηφιακά μέσα και κυρίως στα βιντεοπαιχνίδια. Παρόλο που τα εκπαιδευτικά βιντεοπαιχνίδια δεν είναι τίποτα καινούργιο στη ψηφιοποιημένη κοινωνία του σήμερα, κατά ικανό ποσοστό έχουν αποδειχθεί είτε μη ικανά ως προς το σκοπό που καλούνται να επιτελέσουν, είτε υστερούν ενδιαφέροντος και προσοχής από το κοινό στο οποίο απευθύνονται. Συνεπώς, καλούμαστε να ερευνήσουμε τι οφείλει να περιέχει ένα εκπαιδευτικό βιντεοπαιχνίδι κυκλοφοριακής αγωγής σε συνδυασμό με το πως είναι δυνατόν να κεντρίσει το ενδιαφέρον των μαθητών στο μέγιστο δυνατό βαθμό. Παράλληλα, θα εμβαθύνουμε στις τεχνολογίες που θα μας βοηθήσουν στην υλοποίηση του έργου αυτού, εξετάζοντας και παρουσιάζοντας πως λειτουργούν και το ρόλο που επιτελούν. Τέλος, θα προσπαθήσουμε να αναλύσουμε πως η εφαρμογή ενός τέτοιου μέσου θα είναι επιτυχής, τονίζοντας ποιος θα πρέπει να είναι ο ρόλος των δασκάλων στη διαδικασία, πως οι μαθητές θα ενημερωθούν επιτυχώς και θα ψυχαγωγηθούν στο βαθμό που απαιτείται και εν τέλει, ποιος θα είναι ο μακροπρόθεσμος ρόλος μια τέτοιας προσπάθειας στο χώρο της εκπαίδευσης και πως μπορεί να εξελιχθεί.

description: One-dimensional scattering by a Coulomb potential V(x)=lambda/|x| is studied for both repulsive (c>0) and attractive (c<0) cases. Two methods of regularizing the singularity at x=0 are used, yielding the same conclusion, namely, that the transmission vanishes. For an attractive potential (c<0), two groups of bound states are found. The first one consists of "regular" (Rydberg) bound states, respecting standard orthogonality relations. The second set consists of "anomalous"} bound states (in a sense to be clarified), which always relax as coherent states.

Cancer, Sex and Intimacy: The Experiences of Gay, Bisexual and Queer Men
Creators: name: Ward, Hannah
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2022

description: Background: Cancer and its treatments can significantly impact on a person’s sexuality and intimacy, resulting in considerable changes to sexual function, relationships, and self-concept. People from sexual minorities often have to contend with these changes whilst navigating healthcare settings which are centred around heteronormative principles and practices, resulting in difficulties receiving relevant support and advice. Research in this area has typically focused on the impact of sexual and reproductive cancers and little is known about how sexual minority men experience sexuality and intimacy across cancer types. Method: A qualitative methodology was adopted to explore how gay, bisexual and queer (GBQ) men experience sexuality and intimacy in the context of cancer. Six men who had been diagnosed with a range of cancer types (prostate, bowel and multiple myeloma) took part in semi-structured interviews. Data was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis from a critical realist perspective. Results: Three overarching themes were identified. ‘Navigating altered sexuality and relationships’ explored how participants experienced changes and challenges in their sexual and intimate relationships. ‘Undergoing changes in the self’ described the impact on the participants’ identity and psychological wellbeing. ‘Seeking community and support’ captured the importance of support, information and advice from peers and healthcare professionals. Conclusions and Implications: The findings indicate that regardless of cancer type, sexuality and intimacy are disrupted, subsequently affecting relationships, self-concept and psychological wellbeing. Support groups, peer mentoring, and open conversations about sex with healthcare professionals are needed to support GBQ men in navigating and overcoming sexual changes. Increased awareness and an appreciation of people with cancer as sexual beings is needed to normalise conversations about cancer and sex.
Rings and spirals in barred galaxies. I Building blocks

description: In this paper we present building blocks which can explain the formation and properties both of spirals and of inner and outer rings in barred galaxies. We first briefly summarise the main results of the full theoretical description we have given elsewhere, presenting them in a more physical way, aimed to an understanding without the requirement of extended knowledge of dynamical systems or of orbital structure. We introduce in this manner the notion of manifolds, which can be thought of as tubes guiding the orbits. The dynamics of these manifolds can govern the properties of spirals and of inner and outer rings in barred galaxies. We find that the bar strength affects how unstable the L1 and L2 Lagrangian points are, the motion within the 5A5A5Amanifold tubes and the time necessary for particles in a manifold to make a complete turn around the galactic centre. We also show that the strength of the bar, or, to be more precise, of the non-axisymmetric forcing at and somewhat beyond the corotation region, determines the resulting morphology. Thus, less strong bars give rise to R1 rings or pseudorings, while stronger bars drive R2, R1R2 and spiral morphologies. We examine the morphology as a function of the main parameters of the bar and present descriptive two dimensional plots to that avail. We also derive how the manifold morphologies and properties are modified if the L1 and L2 Lagrangian points become stable. Finally, we discuss how dissipation affects the manifold properties and compare the manifolds in gas-like and in stellar cases. Comparison with observations, as well as clear predictions to be tested by observations will be given in an accompanying paper.
