description: We discuss the formulation of classical field theoretical models on $n$-dimensional noncommutative space-time defined by a generic associative star product. A simple procedure for deriving conservation laws is presented and applied to field theories in noncommutative space-time to obtain local conservation laws (for the electric charge and for the energy-momentum tensor of free fields) and more generally an energy-momentum balance equation for interacting fields. For free field models an analogy with the damped harmonic oscillator in classical mechanics is pointed out, which allows us to get a physical understanding for the obtained conservation laws. To conclude, the formulation of field theories on curved noncommutative space is addressed.

Can interleukin-6 promote human colorectal cancer progression through changes in microRNA expression?
Creators: name: Patel, Saroor Ashfaq Ahmad
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide with over a million new cases each year. Eighty percent of CRC cases have no genetic predisposition and result from a series of epigenetic and genetic alterations, referred to as ‘sporadic’ CRC. Diets rich in red or processed meats (containing dietary carcinogens) as well as bowel inflammation are a major risk factors for disease, however the underlying mechanisms are not yet well understood. Upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes that activate dietary carcinogens as well as microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation have been observed in CRC tissue. Interleukin-6 (IL6) is a multifunctional cytokine thought to play numerous roles in tumour progression including activation of tumour-promoting signalling pathways, epigenetic gene regulation and alteration of DNA repair mechanisms; thus presence of IL6 may be key to promoting CRC tumour progression. I hypothesised that elevated levels of IL6 in the tumour microenvironment (TME) could alter miRNA expression and induce local activation of dietary carcinogens, thereby stimulating epigenetic and genetic changes that promote CRC. The current project investigated this hypothesis using a mechanistic approach with in vitro cell culture techniques. Phenotypic changes in response to IL6 treatment were observed and the underlying causes were determined by performing genetic and epigenetic studies. The findings from this project identified three potential mechanisms of IL6-mediated CRC promotion, which involve miRNAs, STAT3 signalling and DNA methylation. First, IL6 promoted dietary carcinogen-mediated DNA damage by inducing CYP450 expression. Second, IL6 stimulated CRC cell proliferation, migration and invasion through gene and miRNA expression changes. Third, IL6- mediated CRC-immune cell crosstalk in the TME resulting in the maintenance of IL6 secretion. Taken together, these data suggest that IL6 plays multiple roles in promoting CRC. Understanding these molecular events could lead to better prevention and therapeutic strategies.
Advances in computational modelling of turbidity currents using the finite-element method
Creators: name: Parkinson, Samuel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Turbidity currents are one of the main processes by which sediment is moved from the continental shelf to the deep ocean. They are a potential environmental hazard and they form a significant component of the stratigraphic record. Computational modelling is an important tool for understanding turbidity current dynamics, for augmenting experimental analyses, and for interpreting data that is collected in the field. This work begins by presenting a depth-averaged turbidity current model that is differentiated to facilitate the use of gradient-based optimisation algorithms. These optimisation algorithms are applied in selecting model parameters to best fit model output with data obtained in the field. To the best of the author's knowledge this is the first published work where optimisation of input parameters is applied to turbidity current modelling. The work also presents the first high resolution three-dimensional simulation of a turbidity current using the finite element method. One of the key benefits of the finite element method is the ability to easily accommodate complex domain geometries. As such this model is uniquely capable of producing high resolution simulations of turbidity currents in unconstrained complex domains. Methods of reducing the computational cost of these very expensive simulations are explored. The use of Large Eddy Simulation is shown to provide some improvements at moderate simulation resolutions. Unstructured mesh optimisation is shown to reduce the cost of these simulations by approximately two orders of magnitude when compared to a fixed mesh simulation. The savings afforded by the use of these techniques make the problem tractable using finite elements and will enable simulation of turbidity currents in complex and expansive domains where DNS modelling was previously unachievable.
Jets from Time-Dependent Accretion Flows onto a Black Hole

description: We investigate time-dependent inviscid hydrodynamical accretion flows onto a black hole using numerical simulations. We consider the accretion that consists of hot tenuous gas with low specific angular momentum and cold dense gas with high specific angular momentum. The former accretes continuously and the latter highly intermittently as blobs. The high specific angular momentum gas blobs bounce at the centrifugal barrier and create shock waves. The low specific angular momentum gas is heated at the shock fronts and escapes along the rotation axis. The outgoing gas evolves into pressure-driven jets. Jet acceleration lasts until the shock waves fade out. The total amount of the mass ejection is about 1-11 % of the mass of the blobs. The jet mass increases when the gas blobs are more massive or have larger specific angular momentum. We get narrower well-collimated jets when the hot continuous flow has a lower temperature. In the numerical simulations we used a finite difference code based on the total variation diminishing scheme. It is extended to include the blackbody radiation and to apply the multi time step scheme for time marching.

description: The small group of Galactic Globular Clusters (GGC) (Pal 12, Terzan 7, Ruprecht 106, Arp 2) recently discovered to be significantly younger (by ~3-4 Gyr) than the average cluster population of the Galaxy are shown to lie near planes passing in the vicinity of some satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and through the Galactic Centre itself. Assuming that these configurations represent a fossil record of interactions between the Galaxy and its companions from which these clusters originated, we identified, along one of them, another candidate ``young'' GGC, i.e. IC4499, whose Color-Magnitude Diagram is presented. Various hypotheses on the possible origin of ``young'' GGC are also briefly discussed within a framework where the location on preferential planes may be seen as a general characteristic for the Local Group members.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The modelling of gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra has considerable potential for increasing the understanding of these enigmatic sources. A diversity of ideas and analyses has been generated over the last two decades to explain line features and continuum shapes, encompassing both older galactic neutron star and ``new age'' cosmological source models. This paper reviews some of the highlights of these studies, discussing the merits and limitations of various ideas, and in particular their compatibility with the observational data. The first focus will be on continuum models for GRBs, which include optically thin synchrotron emission and resonant Compton upscattering near galactic neutron stars, while the synchrotron and non-magnetic inverse Compton scattering mechanisms are prominent in the less well-developed cosmological scenarios. Line formation scenarios will then be discussed, in particular the scattering model for producing cyclotron features, which remains the only viable explanation for the Ginga observations of double lines. Absorption-like line production in cosmological burst models is generally difficult, though interesting notions such as femtolensing interference patterns have been proffered.

description: We investigate the enhancement of yields of strange and multi-strange baryons in proton-proton (p+p), proton-lead (p+Pb) and lead-lead (Pb+Pb) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies from a dynamical core-corona initialization model. We first generate partons just after the collisions by using event generators. These partons dynamically generate the quark gluon plasma (QGP) fluids through the source terms in the hydrodynamic equations. According to the core-corona picture, this process tends to happen where the density of generated partons is high and their transverse momentum is low. Some partons do not fully participate in this process when they are in dilute regions or their transverse momentum is high and subsequently fragment into hadrons through string fragmentation. In this framework, the final hadrons come from either chemically equilibrated fluids as in the conventional hydrodynamic models or string fragmentation. We calculate the ratio of strange baryons to charged pions as a function of multiplicity and find that it monotonically increases up to $dN_{\mathrm{ch}}/dη\sim 100$ and then saturates above. This suggests that the QGP fluids are \textit{partly} created and that their fraction increases with multiplicity in p+p and p+Pb collisions at LHC energies.

Molecular mechanisms of the interactions involving cyclic AMP in the myometrium during pregnancy
Creators: name: Yulia, Angela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Preterm labour is the most important cause of perinatal mortality. Our ability to prevent preterm labour has been hindered by poor understanding of the factors that initiate human parturition. cAMP is a second messenger which plays significant role in respiratory, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems. The role of cAMP-signalling pathway in the maintenance of pregnancy has been investigated. My results suggest that during pregnancy, high cAMP levels repress OTR via PKA-dependent pathway and this repression may contribute to myometrial quiescence. My results also suggest that as pregnancy advances, the activity of cAMP/PKA pathway declines and, in contrast, the levels of Epac1, rise. This pattern may be associated with an increase in OTR expression, which may contribute to uterine contractions. The ability of cAMP to repress inflammation in human myometrial cells was explored. My results show that cAMP repress the expression of inflammation related genes and pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results suggest that high cAMP/PKA tone in pregnancy may exert an anti-inflammatory effect and a reduction of cAMP/PKA tone may contribute to the pro-inflammatory effects of labour. AKIP1 has been identified to act as a molecular switch, determining cAMP/PKA action towards NFκB activity in various cell types. To date, no study was done to investigate the role played by AKIP1 in myometrial cells. My results suggest that in myometrial cells, low AKIP1 levels, helps to promote the anti-inflammatory effects of cAMP/PKA. The ability of cAMP in enhancing myometrial response to progesterone was tested. The results suggest that cAMP enhanced progesterone responsive genes via PKA. Furthermore, the ability of progesterone to repress IL-1β-induced inflammation may be enhanced by cAMP. Knockdown studies using siRNA, suggest that cAMP acts via PKA to enhance the anti-inflammatory action of progesterone. Overall, these data support a novel role for cAMP which may help in the prevention of preterm labour.

description: Moderate-resolution spectra of the H$β$--[O III] $λ$5007 region have been obtained for 41 radio-loud quasars in order to investigate relationships among their broad- and narrow-line profiles, radio structures, and X-ray properties. Spectra from the literature have been included to form a data set of 60 radio-loud quasars. A variety of statistical analyses have been performed, identifying several strong, related trends. The FWHM, equivalent width, and degree of redward asymmetry of H$β$ increase with decreasing radio core dominance (an orientation indicator), whereas the FWHM of [O III] $λ$5007 increases with luminosity and $α_{ox}$. These and other effects are briefly discussed.

description: Aquaculture is the fastest-growing sector, mainly depending on larval production and rearing. Fishes, like other animals, require adequate nutrition in order to grow and survive. Fish larvae are very delicate organisms. Fishes, prawns and other cultivable aquatic animals at the time of their first feeding are tiny, fragile and delicate creatures.  It is most 'critical phase’ of their life when they need right type and right size of nourishment for their survival and growth. Despite the recent progress in the production of inert diets for fish larvae, feeding of most species of interest for aquaculture still relies on live feeds during the early life stages.
Likelihood Analysis of Repeating in the BATSE Catalogue

description: I describe a new likelihood technique, based on counts-in-cells statistics, that I use to analyze repeating in the BATSE 1B and 2B catalogues. Using the 1B data, I find that repeating is preferred over non-repeating by 4.3:1 odds, with a well-defined peak at 5-6 repetitions per source. I find that the post-1B data are consistent with the repeating model inferred from the 1B data, after taking into account the lower fraction of bursts with well-determined positions. Combining the two data sets, I find that the odds favoring repeating over non-repeating are almost unaffected at 4:1, with a narrower peak at 5 repetitions per source. I conclude that the data sets are consistent both with each other and with repeating, and that for these data sets the odds favor repeating.

The effects of atherogenic dyslipidaemia on blood monocyte function
Creators: name: Jackson, William
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Blood monocytes are heterogeneous effector cells of the innate immune system that can be divided into at least two functionally distinct subpopulations. In circulation these cells are constantly in contact with lipid-rich lipoproteins, yet this interaction is poorly characterized. The aim of this PhD was to examine the functional response of blood monocyte subpopulations to dyslipidaemia, defined as high levels of plasma VLDL and LDL. Initially in the Ldlr-/- mouse, I demonstrated that monocytes accumulate cytoplasmic neutral lipid vesicles when exposed to high fat diet induced dyslipidaemia. In this model, lipid loaded monocytes exhibit impaired chemotaxis towards peritonitis due to retention of monocytes in the greater omentum. In vitro assays using human monocytes confirmed neutral lipid vesicle accumulation after exposure to LDL or VLDL, via several receptors including CD36. Neutral lipid accumulation did not inhibit other functions including phagocytosis, endothelial adhesion and transendothelial migration, nor did it lead to an overtly pro-inflammatory phenotype. However, lipid loading led to a migratory defect in both monocyte subsets towards C5a and was accompanied by a disruption of cytoskeletal regulation. These cytoskeletal changes included subset specific differences in cell morphology, and an inhibition of RHOA activation and myosin light chain phosphorylation. These data emphasise the functional consequences of blood monocyte lipid accumulation and reveal important implications for treating inflammation, infection and atherogenesis in the context of dyslipidaemia.

Development of gut microbiota and metabolic changes in preterm babies
Creators: name: Przysiezna, Natalia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Gut microbiota are an important component of the human organism, contributing to metabolism and believed to play a role in the maintenance of health. Preterm babies are exposed to different early life interventions than full-term ones. They are exposed to prolonged courses of antibiotics and often fed parenterally, with delayed or limited enteral nutrition intake. The aim of this research was to assess how early life interventions (type of parenteral nutrition, type of milk, mode of delivery) and other factors (gestational age at birth, postnatal age, sex of the baby) affect the development of gut microbiota and the consequent metabolic impact in preterm babies. Two thousand stool and urine samples were collected from 160 babies. Gut microbiota were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, while the activity of bacteria was assessed by metabolic profiling using 1H NMR. A new DNA and faecal water extraction method was developed and validated. Metabolic differences in stool and urine in relation to early life interventions were observed. Higher postnatal age was associated with vit. B5 and vit. B1, while lower was associated with increased bile acids and sugars. Increasing GA was correlated with higher concentration of GABA and glutamate. Breast-fed babies had higher concentration of lactose than formula-fed ones. There was no metabolic difference in relation to mode of delivery or sex of the baby. Microbial profiles were mostly affected by route of nutrition (oral – more Staphylococcaceae, intravenous – more Enterobacteriaceae), type of milk (breast milk – more Enterobacteraceae) and mode of delivery (Caesarean section – more Staphylococcus and Clostridium). The most abundant phylum was Proteobacteria. Average abundance of Bifidobacteria was 10%. Those results contribute to current understanding of the establishment of gut microbiota in preterm babies. Future work should focus on repeating the analysis on a larger sample set from a trial designed for this purpose.

description: Layered oxide heterostructures are the new routes to tailor desired electronic and magnetic phases emerging from competing interactions involving strong correlation, orbital hopping, tunnelling and lattice coupling phenomena. Here, we propose a half-metal/insulator superlattice that intrinsically forms spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) following a mechanism very different from the widely reported 2DEG at the single perovskite polar interfaces. From DFT$+U$ study on Sr$_2$FeMoO$_6$/La$_2$CoMnO$_6$ (001) superlattice, we find that a periodic quantum well is created along [001] which breaks the three-fold $t_{2g}$ degeneracy to separate the doubly degenerate $xz$ and $yz$ states from the planar $xy$ state. In the spin-down channel, the dual effect of quantum confinement and strong correlation localizes the degenerate states, whereas the dispersive $xy$ state forms the 2DEG which is robust against perturbations to the superlattice symmetry. The spin-up channel retains the bulk insulating. Both spin polarization and orbital polarization make the superlattice ideal for spintronic and orbitronic applications. The suggested 2DEG mechanism widens the scope of fabricating next generation of oxide heterostructures.

We propose a control methodology based on linear feedback controls, which are proportional to the deviation between the current state of the system and a prescribed desired state. We first derive the controls for weakly nonlinear models such as the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and some of its generalisations, and then use the insight that the analytical results obtained there provide us to derive suitable generalisations of the controls for reduced-order long-wave models. We use two long-wave models to test our controls: the first order Benney equation and the first order weighted-residual model, and compare some linear stability results with the full 2-D Navier-Stokes equations. We find that using point actuated controls it is possible to stabilise the full range of solutions to the generalised Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and that distributed controls have a similar effect on both long-wave models. Furthermore, point-actuated controls are efficient when stabilising the flat solution of both long-wave models. We extend our results to systems of coupled Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations and to stochastic partial differential equations that arise by adding noise to the weakly nonlinear models.

description: We present a new determination of the local volume-averaged star formation rate from the 1.4 GHz luminosity function of star forming galaxies. Our sample, taken from the B<=12 Revised Shapley-Ames catalogue (231 normal spiral galaxies over effective area 7.1 sr) has ~100% complete radio detections and is insensitive to dust obscuration and cirrus contamination. After removal of known active galaxies, the best-fit Schechter function has a faint-end slope of -1.27+/-0.07 in agreement with the local Halpha luminosity function, characteristic luminosity L*=(2.6+/-0.7)*10^{22} W/Hz and density phi* = (4.8 +/-1.1)*10^{-4} / Mpc^3. The inferred local radio luminosity density of (1.73+/-0.37+/-0.03)*10^{19} W/Hz/Mpc^3 (Poisson noise, large scale structure fluctuations) implies a volume averaged star formation rate ~2 x larger than the Gallego et al. Halpha estimate, i.e. rho(1.4 GHz} = (2.10+/-0.45+/-0.04) *10^{-2}$ Msun/yr/Mpc^3 for a Salpeter initial mass function from 0.1-125 Msun and Hubble constant of 50 km/s/Mpc. We demonstrate that the Balmer decrement is a highly unreliable extinction estimator, and argue that optical-UV SFRs are easily underestimated, particularly at high redshift.

description: We present the mean spectral energy distribution (SED) of a sample of optically selected quasars (QSOs) at redshifts of $1 \le z \le 5$. To derive it, we exploit photometric information from SDSS, UKIDSS, and WISE surveys in combination with a stacking analysis of \textit{Herschel}, \textit{AKARI}, and \textit{Planck} maps at the location of the QSOs. The near-UV and optical parts of the reconstructed mean rest-frame SED are similar to those found in other studies. However, the SED shows an excess at 1-2 $μ$m (when compared to the aforementioned SEDs normalized in the near-UV) and a prominent bump around 4-6 $μ$m, followed by a decrease out to $\sim 20 \,μ$m and a subsequent far-IR bump. From the fitted SEDs we estimate the average active galactic nuclei (AGN) luminosity $L_{\rm AGN}$ and star formation rate (SFR) as function of cosmic time, finding typical $L_{\rm AGN} \sim 10^{46} - 10^{47}$ erg/s and SFR $\sim 50 - 1000\, M_{\odot}/$yr. We develop mid-IR based criteria to split the QSO sample, finding that these allow us to move along the average relationship in the SFR vs. $L_{\rm AGN}$ diagram toward increasing AGN luminosities. When interpreted in the context of the in-situ coevolution scenario presented by Lapi et al. 2014, our results suggest that the detection in the far-IR band is an effective criterion to select objects where the star formation is on the verge of being affected by energy/momentum feedback from the central AGN.

description: This paper strives for spatio-temporal localization of human actions in videos. In the literature, the consensus is to achieve localization by training on bounding box annotations provided for each frame of each training video. As annotating boxes in video is expensive, cumbersome and error-prone, we propose to bypass box-supervision. Instead, we introduce action localization based on point-supervision. We start from unsupervised spatio-temporal proposals, which provide a set of candidate regions in videos. While normally used exclusively for inference, we show spatio-temporal proposals can also be leveraged during training when guided by a sparse set of point annotations. We introduce an overlap measure between points and spatio-temporal proposals and incorporate them all into a new objective of a Multiple Instance Learning optimization. During inference, we introduce pseudo-points, visual cues from videos, that automatically guide the selection of spatio-temporal proposals. We outline five spatial and one temporal pseudo-point, as well as a measure to best leverage pseudo-points at test time. Experimental evaluation on three action localization datasets shows our pointly-supervised approach (i) is as effective as traditional box-supervision at a fraction of the annotation cost, (ii) is robust to sparse and noisy point annotations, (iii) benefits from pseudo-points during inference, and (iv) outperforms recent weakly-supervised alternatives. This leads us to conclude that points provide a viable alternative to boxes for action localization.

A boundary element method for modelling piezoelectric transducer based structural health monitoring
Creators: name: Zou, Fangxin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis, several numerical approaches for the development of structural health monitoring (SHM) methodologies for engineering structures are described. In particular, the first boundary element models of three-dimensional piezoelectric smart structures are introduced. Comparing to the finite element method (FEM), the boundary element method (BEM) demonstrates higher numerical stability and requires less computational resources. Also, the dual boundary integral formulation provides a natural and efficient approach for replicating the targets of SHM techniques – material discontinuities. A boundary element formulation for the ultrasonic guided wave based damage detection strategy is firstly presented. The semi-analytical finite element model of piezoelectric patches is coupled with the boundary element model of substrates via the variables of the BEM. The first systematic approach for determining the number of Laplace terms to be used for an elastodynamic boundary element analysis is also introduced. The above-mentioned formulation is then transformed to the Fourier domain for simulating the electro-mechanical impedance (EMI) based damage detection strategy. The key to attaining accurate EMI signatures is the inclusion of appropriate damping effects. In addition to the detection of the damages in substrates, a partially debonded coupling condition between substrates and piezoelectric patches is derived for modelling the diagnosis of faulty transducers. The computational efficiency of the BEM is further enhanced by the implementation of high-order spectral elements. The difficulties associated with the applications of these elements in the BEM are among the key emphases. The accelerated BEM is used to reformat the models of the two damage detection strategies. The performances of the two strategies are more deeply investigated and understood. At the end of this thesis, a technique for the characterisation of cracks in plate structures is established. By utilising a two-stage approach, the long-existed difficulty of the simultaneous localisation and sizing of arbitrary cracks can be overcome. The technique is developed mathematically using analytic models and the FEM, and is extensively assessed by numerically simulated extreme scenarios. Throughout this thesis, physical experiments are heavily relied on for validation studies. A summary of the skills and the experiences, which the author has gained on experimental testing, is reported in this thesis for further reference.

description: We introduce the notion of \emph{almost commutative Q-algebras} and demonstrate how the derived bracket formalism of Kosmann-Schwarzbach generalises to this setting. In particular, we construct `almost commutative Lie algebroids' following Va\uıntrob's Q-manifold understanding of classical Lie algebroids. We show that the basic tenets of the theory of Lie algebroids carry over verbatim to the almost commutative world.

description: Purpose: This DNP project analyzed how developing and implementing an opioid overdose management protocol based on evidence-based guidelines along with didactic training for employees can improve staff confidence in handling an opioid overdose. Methodology: To analyze the effectiveness of the protocol implementation and didactic training on opioid overdose management, a questionnaire was distributed to the medical and non-medical staff members (N=32) at an inpatient drug rehabilitation facility after training was provided. The questionnaire assessed the staff members’ confidence in handling an opioid overdose. Results: After the opioid overdose treatment protocol with staff training was implemented, the employees reported above average scores in their confidence to handle an opioid overdose situation. Implications for Practice: This project provided much needed data on implementing an evidence-based opioid overdose management protocol and staff education within a private residential substance abuse facility. It provided the staff with the knowledge they need to handle an opioid overdose and save the lives of potential opioid overdose patients.

description: We propose that a significant fraction of the ultracompact HII regions found in massive star-forming clouds are the result of the interaction of the wind and ionizing radiation from a young massive star with the clumpy molecular cloud gas in its neighbourhood. Distributed mass loading in the flow allows the compact nebulae to be long-lived. In this paper, we discuss a particularly simple case, in which the flow in the HII region is everywhere supersonic. The line profiles predicted for this model are highly characteristic, for the case of uniform mass loading. We discuss briefly other observational diagnostics of these models.
