title: Understanding the evolutionary origins of genome structural novelty in mouse
Creators: name: Burden, Frances
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: During evolution, each lineage follows its own independent path of accumulating genome variation. Variation exists at both sequence and structural level - the latter representing dramatic changes in the organisation of the genome. This structural variation is encompassed by the term chromosomal rearrangements (CRs). It can take many forms such as inversions, translocations, fissions or fusions. Chromosomal rearrangements can have profound consequences both for fertility at the individual level and for inter-individual reproductive compatibility. Understanding how CRs arise and spread within the population is thus pivotal to understanding multiple areas of reproductive and evolutionary biology, from individual fertility through to speciation. Formation of CRs can be described by the Integrative Breakage Model - generation of CRs requires the formation of double-strand breaks (DSBs) during gamete production, followed by rejoining of loci that are physically adjacent within the nucleus. In this thesis, I address this element by studying the genetic, and epigenetic contexts of DSBs occurring in spermatogenesis, in combination with the 3D organisation of chromatin in male germ cells and show that this explains the locations of evolutionary breakpoint regions throughout rodent evolution. Once CRs are formed, selective dynamics will subsequently determine whether they go to fixation or not. An understudied aspect of this is the potential for "drive", in which genetic or epigenetic factors bias the meiotic process and lead to non-Mendelian inheritance of CRs from heterozygous carriers. In this thesis, I address this element by investigating the genetic and epigenetic effects at play in male mice heterozygous for a Robertsonian chromosome fusion reported to show non-Mendelian inheritance. 
Key findings:
• EBRs are associated with DSBs formed during spermiogenesis and not with meiotic DSBs.
• Spermatid DSBs are associated with specific chromatin state changes during spermatogenesis, and with predicted non-B DNA structures that may regulate DNA tension during sperm head compaction.
• In the Rb6.16 fusion model I identified a range of non-synonymous gene variants linked to the fusion breakpoint, which may explain the reported transmission skewing.
• Unexpectedly, I found no evidence for chromatin silencing in the vicinity of the Robertsonian breakpoint(s), indicating that Robertsonian fusions may be regulated differently to other structural variants during spermatogenesis.

description: Findings in the extant literature are mixed concerning when and how gender diversity benefits team performance. We develop and test a model that posits that gender-diverse teams outperform gender-homogeneous teams when perceived time pressure is low, whereas the opposite is the case when perceived time pressure is high. Drawing on the categorization-elaboration model (CEM; van Knippenberg, De Dreu, & Homan, 2004), we begin with the assumption that information elaboration is the process whereby gender diversity fosters positive effects on team performance. However, also in line with the CEM, we argue that this process can be disrupted by adverse team dynamics. Specifically, we argue that as time pressure increases, higher gender diversity leads to more team withdrawal, which, in turn, moderates the positive indirect effect of gender diversity on team performance via information elaboration such that this effect becomes weaker as team withdrawal increases. In an experimental study of 142 four-person teams, we found support for this model that explains why perceived time pressure affects the performance of gender-diverse teams more negatively than that of gender-homogeneous teams. Our study sheds new light on when and how gender diversity can become either an asset or a liability for team performance.

description: Nearly half of the national seismic risk is located in Southern California, and about one-fourth is concentrated in Los Angeles County alone (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2000). To assess the seismic hazards that drive this risk, we must forecast the strong ground motions that are likely to be produced by large fault ruptures. The standard probabilistic seismic-hazard model of California calculates shaking intensities according to an ensemble of ground-motion prediction equations (Petersen et al., 2008). These empirical equations have a high aleatory variability, primarily because they do not model much of the ground-motion variance caused by 3D crustal heterogeneities (Strasser and Bommer, 2009).

description: In 2020 Parusiński and Rond proved that every algebraic set X ⊂ ℝ^n is homeomorphic to an algebraic set X’ ⊂ ℝ^n which is described globally (and also locally) by polynomial equations whose coefficients are real algebraic numbers. In general, the following problem was widely open: Open Problem. Is every real algebraic set homeomorphic to a real algebraic set defined by polynomial equations with rational coefficients? The aim of my PhD thesis is to provide classes of real algebraic sets that positively answer to above Open Problem. In Chapter 1 I introduce a new theory of real and complex algebraic geometry over subfields recently developed by Fernando and Ghiloni. In particular, the main notion to outline is the so called ℝ|ℚ-regularity of points of a ℚ-algebraic set X ⊂ ℝ^n. This definition suggests a natural notion of a ℚ-nonsingular ℚ-algebraic set X ⊂ ℝ^n. The study of ℚ-nonsingular ℚ-algebraic sets is the main topic of Chapter 2. Then, in Chapter 3 I introduce ℚ-algebraic approximation techniques a là Akbulut-King developed in collaboration with Ghiloni and the main consequences we proved, that are, versions ‘over ℚ’ of the classical and the relative Nash-Tognoli theorems. Last results can be found in in Chapters 3 & 4, respectively. In particular, we obtained a positive answer to above Open Problem in the case of compact nonsingular algebraic sets. Then, after extending ‘over ℚ’ the Akbulut-King blowing down lemma, we are in position to give a complete positive answer to above Open Problem also in the case of compact algebraic sets with isolated singularities in Chapter 4. After algebraic Alexandroff compactification, we obtained a positive answer also in the case of non-compact algebraic sets with isolated singularities. Other related topics are investigated in Chapter 4 such as the existence of ℚ-nonsingular ℚ-algebraic models of Nash manifolds over every real closed field and an answer to the ℚ-algebrization problem for germs of an isolated algebraic singularity. Appendices A & B contain results on Nash approximation and an evenness criterion for the degree of global smoothings of subanalytic sets, respectively.

description: This study aims to understand both the burial and thermal history of the Carrara Sub-basin to further develop an understanding of possible geo-energy resources, particularly that for unconventional resources such as shale gas. A 1D and 2D model were developed using data from the above mentioned seismic and drilling campaigns, combined with previously published knowledge of the basin. This work contributes to Australia’s Future Energy Resources (AFER) Project, specifically the Onshore Basin Inventories study, which aims to promote exploration and investment in selected underexplored onshore basins. Inventory reports and petroleum systems modelling are being undertaken in select basins to highlight the oil and gas potential in underexplored provinces and to increase the impact of existing datasets.

description: Currently, the development of sports around the world requires in-depth study of the reactivity of the body depending on the degree of load and duration of training [1, 3]. We know that any load on the body is realized against the background of the predominance of activity of the sympathoadrenal system [10,13]. Such activation contributes to the realization of ergatropic activity in the body of the athlete, depending on the type of load.

description: The Panzar-Rosse test has been widely applied to assess competitive conduct, often in specifications controlling for firm scale or using a price equation. We show that neither a price equation nor a scaled revenue function yields a valid measure for competitive conduct. Moreover, even an unscaled revenue function generally requires additional information about costs and market equilibrium to infer the degree of competition. Our theoretical findings are confirmed by an empirical analysis of competition in banking, using a sample containing more than 100,000 bank-year observations on more than 17,000 banks in 63 countries during the years 1994 to 2004.

description: In [4] Bierstone and Parusinski proved the existence of global smoothings for closed subanalytic sets, both in an embedded and a non-embedded sense. In particular, in the non-embedded desingularization procedure the authors construct smoothings of (generically) even degree, indeed it is well-known the existence of subanalytic sets which do not admit non-embedded smoothings of (generically) odd degree. In this paper we introduce a natural topological notion of nonbounding equator for subanalytic sets and we prove a criterion to determine whether a closed subanalytic set $X$ only admits global smoothings of even degree along the nonbounding equator. More in detail, we prove that if $X$ has a nonbounding equator $Y$ then every smoothing of $X$ which is a covering on a connected neighborhood $W$ of $Y$ has even degree over $W$.

description: Superintegrable models are very special dynamical systems: they possess more conservation laws than what is necessary for complete integrability. This severely constrains their dynamical processes, and it often leads to their exact solvability, even in non-equilibrium situations. In this paper we consider special Hamiltonian deformations of superintegrable quantum circuits. The deformations break superintegrability, but they preserve integrability. We focus on a selection of concrete models and show that for each model there is an (at least) one parameter family of integrable deformations. Our most interesting example is the so-called Rule54 model. We show that the model is compatible with a one parameter family of Yang-Baxter integrable spin chains with six-site interaction. Therefore, the Rule54 model does not have a unique integrability structure, instead it lies at the intersection of a family of quantum integrable models.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Scientific advice is a fundamental component of integrated marine management working towards protecting the structure, function and robustness of marine ecosystems. Legislation, policy and work programmes on an international, regional and European level rely on scientific advice for setting, achieving and sustaining operational objectives to meet their requirements. The OSPAR Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (1992) and the Helsinki Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area (1992) are working towards implementing the requirements of the Convention of Biodiversity (1993) on a regional seas level. The EU Common Fisheries Policy has competence over fisheries in European waters but the policy and its management is poorly integrated with other frameworks. We have identified two 'sets' of objectives which work towards protecting the structure, function and robustness of marine ecosystems: 1) Nature Conservation Objectives 2) Sustainable Use Objectives. We argue that management plans to achieve nature conservation objectives and management plans to achieve sustainable use objectives are interdependent. These plans must be based on scientific which is fully integrated and operational. We consider the role of management tools such as the setting of reference points and 'benchmarks' for target and non-target species, marine protected areas and the use of no-take zones for fisheries management.

description: We are interested in understanding whether retrieval-based localization approaches are good enough in the context of self-driving vehicles. Towards this goal, we introduce Pit30M, a new image and LiDAR dataset with over 30 million frames, which is 10 to 100 times larger than those used in previous work. Pit30M is captured under diverse conditions (i.e., season, weather, time of the day, traffic), and provides accurate localization ground truth. We also automatically annotate our dataset with historical weather and astronomical data, as well as with image and LiDAR semantic segmentation as a proxy measure for occlusion. We benchmark multiple existing methods for image and LiDAR retrieval and, in the process, introduce a simple, yet effective convolutional network-based LiDAR retrieval method that is competitive with the state of the art. Our work provides, for the first time, a benchmark for sub-metre retrieval-based localization at city scale. The dataset, its Python SDK, as well as more information about the sensors, calibration, and metadata, are available on the project website: https://pit30m.github.io/

description: Lead isotopic ratios and concentrations have been measured in lavas from the Aleutian volcanic centers of Adak (12) and Atka (12). Whereas lavas from Atka have very small Pb-isotopic ranges (206Pb204Pb = 18.78−18.86; 207Pb204Pb = 15.55−15.62; 208Pb204Pb = 38.31−38.52) those from Adak have ranges nearly twice as large (206Pb204Pb = 18.34−18.86; 207Pb204Pb = 15.47−15.63; 208Pb204Pb = 37.81−38.56). On lead-lead isotopic diagrams, Atka data form tight clusters whereas those from Adaak define a well-developed linear trend extending from the Atka field toward less radiogenic values. At a given 206Pb204Pb, the lavas from both islands plot in the MORB trend for 208Pb204Pb but Atka lavas plot above the MORB 207Pb204Pb-206Pb/204Pb trend and those from Adak fall both within and above the trend.

description: Stimulated by the need of describing useful notions related to information measures, we introduce the `pdf-related distributions'. These are defined in terms of transformation of absolutely continuous random variables through their own probability density functions. We investigate their main characteristics, with reference to the general form of the distribution, the quantiles, and some related notions of reliability theory. This allows us to obtain a characterization of the pdf-related distribution being uniform for distributions of exponential and Laplace type as well. We also face the problem of stochastic comparing the pdf-related distributions by resorting to suitable stochastic orders. Finally, the given results are used to analyse properties and to compare some useful information measures, such as the differential entropy and the varentropy.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In my talk I will highlight aspects of the history and background to scientific criteria for identifying species at risk of extinction that are not covered by other talks in this mini-symposium. I will then focus on the types of expertise available within the ICES community. I will discuss how that expertise is relevant to the identification and application of criteria for species at risk. I will also discuss how the ICES Science Committee, Working Group, and Advisory Committee framework could address this issue. Because the issue of marine and anadromous species at risk is not going to go away on its own, I will even conjecture on possible consequences for the credibility of ICES science and advisory roles if ICES continues to treat species at risk as a non-issue.

description: We build on the view of the Exact Renormalization Group (ERG) as an instantiation of Optimal Transport described by a functional convection-diffusion equation. We provide a new information theoretic perspective for understanding the ERG through the intermediary of Bayesian Statistical Inference. This connection is facilitated by the Dynamical Bayesian Inference scheme, which encodes Bayesian inference in the form of a one parameter family of probability distributions solving an integro-differential equation derived from Bayes' law. In this note, we demonstrate how the Dynamical Bayesian Inference equation is, itself, equivalent to a diffusion equation which we dub Bayesian Diffusion. Identifying the features that define Bayesian Diffusion, and mapping them onto the features that define the ERG, we obtain a dictionary outlining how renormalization can be understood as the inverse of statistical inference.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Arguably the greatest strength of ICES is the broad breadth of marine scientists who are willing and able to work together in a politically neutral forum to gain a co-operative understanding of the marine environment and its processes. It is however regrettable that this broad range of expertise is not fully utilised in helping to manage human use of the marine environment. While there has been great progress in integration of advice from ICES in recent years, the symptoms of over-harvesting and excessive damage to non-harvested organisms persist.

description: We consider the complexity of the local Hamiltonian problem in the context of fermionic Hamiltonians with $\mathcal N=2 $ supersymmetry and show that the problem remains $\mathsf{QMA}$-complete. Our main motivation for studying this is the well-known fact that the ground state energy of a supersymmetric system is exactly zero if and only if a certain cohomology group is nontrivial. This opens the door to bringing the tools of Hamiltonian complexity to study the computational complexity of a large number of algorithmic problems that arise in homological algebra, including problems in algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and group theory. We take the first steps in this direction by introducing the $k$-local Cohomology problem and showing that it is $\mathsf{QMA}_1$-hard and, for a large class of instances, is contained in $\mathsf{QMA}$. We then consider the complexity of estimating normalized Betti numbers and show that this problem is hard for the quantum complexity class $\mathsf{DQC}1$, and for a large class of instances is contained in $\mathsf{BQP}$. In light of these results, we argue that it is natural to frame many of these homological problems in terms of finding ground states of supersymmetric fermionic systems. As an illustration of this perspective we discuss in some detail the model of Fendley, Schoutens, and de Boer consisting of hard-core fermions on a graph, whose ground state structure encodes $l$-dimensional holes in the independence complex of the graph. This offers a new perspective on existing quantum algorithms for topological data analysis and suggests new ones.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Assessing fisheries discards is an important point in assessing the impact of fisheries on biodiversity, hence an unavoidable step towards conservation. Whereas ICES working groups already put some effort into incorporating discard information in stock assessment of target species, less is done for non-target species. This paper focuses on how this assessment can be achieved, illustrated with an example from the Celtic Sea: i) Suitable discard sampling strategies, depending on whether the species of interest accounts for a high proportion of discards or not. ii) What is needed to predict discards without a full sampling effort? Is the information about target species given by landings useful? What about non-target species? iii) For non-target species: what would be needed to assess the impact on population dynamics of incidental catches? Can survey-based abundance indices be combined with discard estimates to detect the effects of fishing on populations? The high complexity of multispecies multifleet fisheries involving many countries implies a high cost for each of the above points. ICES might be an appropriate international forum to discuss the indices to be monitored and to propose operational sampling schemes.
Learning quantum many-body systems from a few copies

description: Estimating physical properties of quantum states from measurements is one of the most fundamental tasks in quantum science. In this work, we identify conditions on states under which it is possible to infer the expectation values of all quasi-local observables of a state from a number of copies that scales polylogarithmically with the system's size and polynomially on the locality of the target observables. We show that this constitutes a provable exponential improvement in the number of copies over state-of-the-art tomography protocols. We achieve our results by combining the maximum entropy method with tools from the emerging fields of classical shadows and quantum optimal transport. The latter allows us to fine-tune the error made in estimating the expectation value of an observable in terms of how local it is and how well we approximate the expectation value of a fixed set of few-body observables. We conjecture that our condition holds for all states exhibiting some form of decay of correlations and establish it for several subsets thereof. These include widely studied classes of states such as one-dimensional thermal and high-temperature Gibbs states of local commuting Hamiltonians on arbitrary hypergraphs or outputs of shallow circuits. Moreover, we show improvements of the maximum entropy method beyond the sample complexity that are of independent interest. These include identifying regimes in which it is possible to perform the postprocessing efficiently as well as novel bounds on the condition number of covariance matrices of many-body states.

description: The disposal of industrial effluents containing cadmium and copper ions is a significant environmental concern. This study aims to address this issue by evaluating the adsorption capacity of adsorbents derived from residual biomass from second-generation ethanol production. The objective is to effectively remove cadmium and copper ions from aqueous solutions. The biochar utilized in the study was characterized as microporous and exhibited characteristic bands associated with carboxyls and hydroxyls. The pHPZC (point of zero charge) was determined to be 8.0. The kinetic study revealed that the PSO (pseudo-second-order) model provided the best fit, indicating that the adsorption rate depends on the amount of solute adsorbed onto the adsorbent’s surface. In the equilibrium study, it was observed that adsorption occurred in a monolayer, as evidenced by the superior fit of the Langmuir model. Furthermore, the equilibrium experimental data for the bicomponent system was more accurately represented by the empirical models of Extended Freundlich and Modified Redlich-Peterson. These findings demonstrate the potential of biochar derived from the residue of second-generation ethanol production, a novel application, in effectively removing cadmium and copper ions from aqueous solutions.
