The role of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule in the survival and differentiation of oligodendrocytes
Creators: name: Norman, Adele Louise
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Axon-oligodendrocyte interactions are vital for the propagation of fast saltatory nerve impulses in the central nervous system (CNS). Axonal signals are involved in the survival and maturation of oligodendrocytes during development but are poorly characterised. Early in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) remyelination of demyelinated axons is common. However, the hallmark of MS pathology is the demyelinated plaque. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are present in the adult CNS and can remyelinate axons. OPCs have been found in chronically demyelinated lesions and appear to contact axons but not to engage in myelin formation, suggesting that they may not be receiving the correct signals. Molecules that are expressed on the axon and interact with molecules expressed on the surface of the pre-myelinating oligodendrocyte are candidates to mediate contactdependent signalling, which may control the late stages of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. These molecules could also have a role in MS pathology. We have investigated the role that neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) might play in such axon-oligodendrocyte interactions using an in vitro system. NCAM has been shown to have a role in neurite outgrowth and neuronal survival. OPCs were isolated from the neonatal rat brain and differentiated in vitro to the O4+ preoligodendrocyte stage. Western blotting and immunofluorescence confirmed the expression of NCAM. To mimic the effects of axonal NCAM binding to OPCs we used a small peptide from the FnIII domain of NCAM (FRM) and a full length soluble protein (NCAM-Fc). FRM peptide and NCAM-Fc increased OPC survival, as detected by propidium iodide staining after four days in culture, to a level comparable to that obtained with the OPC survival factor insulin. NCAM has previously been shown to increase neuronal survival and process outgrowth in vitro via the FGF receptor. The FGF receptor inhibitor PD173074 specifically blocked the survival effects of FRM peptide and NCAM-Fc, leading to a return to control cell survival rates. Selective inhibitors of MAP kinase, Fyn and PI3 kinase demonstrated the involvement of MAP kinase and Fyn in NCAM-mediated OPC survival. This was supported with Western blotting using OPC cell lysates stimulated with FRM petide or NCAM-Fc, which detected phosphoERK1/2 but not phosphoAkt. In addition, co-culture of OPCs on NCAM-expressing fibroblasts increased process outgrowth after one day in vitro, and this was dependent on signalling via Fyn. However, FRM peptide and NCAM-Fc were not able to replicate this effect, suggesting a requirement for NCAM to be presented in a cellular substratum to induce outgrowth. We have shown that NCAM mimetics increase OPC survival and that this is dependent on activation of the FGF receptor and downstream signalling. These results suggest that the binding of axonal NCAM may promote OPC survival and radial process outgrowth, enabling initiation of myelination.

Electrochemical Biosensors and Angiogenesis
Creators: name: Trouillon, Raphael
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Electrochemical methods provide attractive sensing techniques for biology. Electrochemical devices can be easily manufactured, miniaturized and are sometimes the only direct sensing method available. However, stability of these sensors is problematic, as foreign-body type reactions may induce distortions of the signal (biofouling). As a consequence, investigating the interactions with the biological matrix is of paramount importance to achieve reliable sensing. Different types of electrodes (boron doped diamond and different preparations of glassy carbon) and various electrode coatings were tested, in the presence of biological molecules. The results showed that boron doped diamond and fibronectin coated sensors offer good stability, even in the presence of high concentrations of proteins. A generally applicable protocol to assess the quality of electrode materials in biofouling conditions is also presented. Fibronectin has also been found to be a highly biocompatible coating, perfectly suited for cell-based measurements. This fibronectin coating was used on an electrode array to study the pathway leading to angiogenic factor induced nitric oxide release. Vascular endothelial growth factor, a well known angiogenic factor, was initially used and allowed me to setup a reliable and robust protocol for the use of electrode arrays in biology. It was then demonstrated that angiogenin, another angiogenic factor, leads to nitric oxide exocytosis through PI-3 kinase transduction.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Relating Chain Conformations to Extensional Stress In Entangled Polymer Melts

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Nonlinear extensional flows are common in polymer processing but remain challenging theoretically because dramatic stretching of chains deforms the entanglement network far from equilibrium. Here, we present coarse-grained simulations of extensional flows in entangled polymer melts for Rouse-Weissenberg numbers $Wi_R=0.06$-$52$ and Hencky strains $ε\geq6$. Simulations reproduce experimental trends in extensional viscosity with time, rate and molecular weight. Studies of molecular structure reveal an elongation and thinning of the confining tube with increasing $Wi_R$. The rising stress is quantitatively consistent with the decreasing entropy of chains at the equilibrium entanglement length. Molecular weight dependent trends in viscosity are related to a crossover from the Newtonian limit to a high rate limit that scales differently with chain length.

description: Starting from the Abelian Higgs field theory, we construct the theory of quantum Abrikosov--Nielsen--Olesen strings. It is shown that in four space -- time dimensions in the limit of infinitely thin strings, the conformal anomaly is absent, and the quantum theory exists. We also study an analogue of the Aharonov--Bohm effect: the corresponding topological interaction is proportional to the linking number of the string world sheet and the particle world trajectory. The creation operators of the strings are explicitly constructed in the path integral and in the Hamiltonian formulation of the theory. We show that the Aharonov--Bohm effect gives rise to several nontrivial commutation relations.

description: We consider two species of hard-core bosons with density dependent hopping in a one-dimensional optical lattice, for which we propose experimental realizations using time-periodic driving. The quantum phase diagram for half-integer filling is determined by combining different advanced numerical simulations with analytic calculations. We find that a reduction of the density-dependent hopping induces a Mott-insulator to superfluid transition. For negative hopping a previously unknown state is found, where one species induces a gauge phase of the other species, which leads to a superfluid phase of gauge-paired particles. The corresponding experimental signatures are discussed.

description: In this paper we propose an autoregressive wild bootstrap method to construct confidence bands around a smooth deterministic trend. The bootstrap method is easy to implement and does not require any adjustments in the presence of missing data, which makes it particularly suitable for climatological applications. We establish the asymptotic validity of the bootstrap method for both pointwise and simultaneous confidence bands under general conditions, allowing for general patterns of missing data, serial dependence and heteroskedasticity. The finite sample properties of the method are studied in a simulation study. We use the method to study the evolution of trends in daily measurements of atmospheric ethane obtained from a weather station in the Swiss Alps, where the method can easily deal with the many missing observations due to adverse weather conditions.

description: Basic problems of the semiclassical microscopic modelling of strongly interactingsystems are discussed within the framework of Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD). This model allows to study the influence of several types of nucleonic interactions on a large variety of observables and phenomena occurring in heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies.It is shown that the same predictions can be obtained with several -- numerically completely different and independently written -- programs as far as the same model parameters are employed and the same basic approximations are made. Many observables are robust against variations of the details of the model assumptions used. Some of the physical results, however, depend also on rather technical parameters like the preparation of the initial configuration in phase space. This crucial problem is connected with the description of the ground state of single nuclei,which differs among the various approaches. An outlook to an improved molecular dynamics scheme for heavy ion collisions is given.

description: The LDA-1/2 method has proven to be a viable approach for calculating band gaps of semiconductors. To address its accuracy for finite systems, we apply LDA-1/2 to atoms and the molecules of the $GW100$ test set. The obtained energies of the highest-occupied molecular orbitals are validated against CCSD(T) data and the $G_0W_0$ approach of many-body perturbation theory. The accuracy of LDA-1/2 and $G_0W_0$ is found to be the same, where the latter is computationally much more involved. To get insight into the benefits and limitations of the LDA-1/2 method, we analyze the impact of each assumption made in deriving the methodology.

description: We present a detailed theoretical study of the optoelectronic properties of a Na$_3$Bi-based three-dimensional Dirac electronic system (3DDES). The optical conductivity is evaluated using the energy-balance equation derived from a Boltzmann equation, where the electron Hamiltonian is taken from a simplified $\mathbf{k}\cdotp \mathbf{p}$ approach. We find that for short-wavelength irradiation, the optical absorption in Na$_3$Bi is mainly due to inter-band electronic transitions. In contrast to the universal optical conductance observed for graphene, the optical conductivity for Na$_3$Bi based 3DDES depends on the radiation frequency but not on temperature, carrier density and electronic relaxation time. In the radiation wavelength regime of about 5 $μm<λ<$ 200 $μm$, an optical absorption window is found. This is similar to what is observed in graphene. The position and width of the absorption window depend on the direction of the light polarization and sensitively on temperature, carrier density, and electronic relaxation time. Particularly, we demonstrate that the inter-band optical absorption channel can be switched on and off by applying the gate voltage. This implies that similar to graphene, Na$_3$Bi based 3DDES can also be applied in infrared electro-optical modulators. Our theoretical findings are helpful in gaining an in-depth understanding of the basic optoelectronic properties of recently discovered 3DDESs.

description: We address some issues related to the construction of general Kaluza-Klein (KK) ansätze for the compactification of a supergravity (sugra) theory on a sphere $S_m$. We first reproduce various ansätze for compactification to 7d from the ansatz for the full nonlinear KK reduction of 11d sugra on $AdS_7\times S_4$. As a side result, we obtain a lagrangian formulation of 7d ${\cal N}=2$ gauged sugra, which so far had only a on-shell formulation, through field equations and constraints. The $AdS_7\times S_4$ ansatz generalizes therefore all previous sphere compactifications to 7d. Then we consider the case when the scalars in the lower dimensional theory are in a coset $Sl(m+1)/SO(m+1)$, and we keep the maximal gauge group $SO(m+1)$. The 11-dimensional sugra truncated on $S_4$ fits precisely the case under consideration, and serves as a model for our construction. We find that the metric ansatz has a universal expression, with the internal space deformed by the scalar fluctuations to a conformally rescaled ellipsoid. We also find the ansatz for the dependence of the antisymmetric tensor on the scalars. We comment on the fermionic ansatz, which will contain a matrix $U$ interpolating between the spinorial $SO(m+1)$ indices of the spherical harmonics and the $R$-symmetry indices of the fermionic fields in the lower dimensional sugra theory. We derive general conditions which the matrix $U$ has to satisfy and we give a formula for the vielbein in terms of $U$. As an application of our methods we obtain the full ansatz for the metric and vielbein for 10d sugra on $AdS_5\times S_5$ (with no restriction on any fields).

description: The recent emergence of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum has posed possible alternatives to global payments as well as financial assets around the globe, making investors and financial regulators aware of the importance of modeling them correctly. The Levy's stable distribution is one of the attractive distributions that well describes the fat tails and scaling phenomena in economic systems. In this paper, we show that the behaviors of price fluctuations in emerging cryptocurrency markets can be characterized by a non-Gaussian Levy's stable distribution with $α\simeq 1.4$ under certain conditions on time intervals ranging roughly from 30 minutes to 4 hours. Our arguments are developed under quantitative valuation defined as a distance function using the Parseval's relation in addition to the theoretical background of the General Central Limit Theorem (GCLT). We also discuss the fit with the Levy's stable distribution compared to the fit with other distributions by employing the method based on likelihood ratios. Our approach can be extended for further analysis of statistical properties and contribute to developing proper applications for financial modeling.

Strategic consequences of emotional misrepresentation in negotiation : The blowback effect

Publisher: name: American University

description: Recent research indicates that expressing anger elicits concession making from negotiating counterparts. When emotions are conveyed either by a computer program or by a confederate, results appear to affirm a long-standing notion that feigning anger is an effective bargaining tactic. We hypothesize this tactic actually jeopardizes postnegotiation deal implementation and subsequent exchange. Four studies directly test both tactical and strategic consequences of emotional misrepresentation. False representations of anger generated little tactical benefit but produced considerable and persistent strategic disadvantage. This disadvantage is because of an effect we call “blowback.” A negotiator’s misrepresented anger creates an action-reaction cycle that results in genuine anger and diminishes trust in both the negotiator and counterpart. Our findings highlight the importance of considering the strategic implications of emotional misrepresentation for negotiators interested in claiming value. We discuss the benefits of researching reciprocal interdependence between 2 or more negotiating parties and of modeling value creation beyond deal construction to include implementation of terms.

description: We use a three-body model to investigate breakup reactions of 11Li (n+n+9Li) on a light target. The interaction parameters are constrained by known properties of the two-body subsystems, the 11Li binding energy and fragmentation data. The remaining degrees of freedom are discussed. The projectile-target interactions are described by phenomenological optical potentials. The model predicts dependence on beam energy and target, differences between longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions and provides absolute values for all computed differential cross sections. We give an almost complete series of observables and compare with corresponding measurements. Remarkably good agreement is obtained. The relative neutron-9Li p-wave content is about 40%. A p-resonance, consistent with measurements at about 0.5 MeV of width about 0.4 MeV, seems to be necessary. The widths of the momentum distributions are insensitive to target and beam energy with a tendency to increase towards lower energies. The transverse momentum distributions are broader than the longitudinal due to the diffraction process. The absolute values of the cross sections follow the neutron-target cross sections and increase strongly for beam energies decreasing below 100 MeV/u.

description: In category-theoretic models for the anyon systems proposed for topological quantum computing, the essential ingredients are two monoidal structures, $\oplus$ and $\otimes$. The former is symmetric but the latter is only braided, and $\otimes$ is required to distribute over $\oplus$. What are the appropriate coherence conditions for the distributivity isomorphisms? We came to this question working on a simplification of the category-theoretical foundation of topological quantum computing, which is the intended application of the research reported here. This question was answered by Laplaza when both monoidal structures are symmetric, but topological quantum computation depends crucially on $\otimes$ being only braided, not symmetric. We propose coherence conditions for distributivity in this situation, and we prove that our conditions are (a) strong enough to imply Laplaza's when the latter are suitably formulated, and (b) weak enough to hold when --- as in the categories used to model anyons --- the additive structure is that of an abelian category and the braided $\otimes$ is additive. Working on these results, we found a new redundancy in Laplaza's conditions.

Triangle-factors in pseudorandom graphs

description: We show that if the second eigenvalue $λ$ of a $d$-regular graph $G$ on $n \in 3 \mathbb{Z}$ vertices is at most $\varepsilon d^2/(n \log n)$, for a small constant $\varepsilon > 0$, then $G$ contains a triangle-factor. The bound on $λ$ is at most an $O(\log n)$ factor away from the best possible one: Krivelevich, Sudakov and Szabó, extending a construction of Alon, showed that for every function $d = d(n)$ such that $Ω(n^{2/3}) \le d \le n$ and infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a $d$-regular triangle-free graph $G$ with $Θ(n)$ vertices and $λ= Ω(d^2 / n)$.

description: In this interview Banks discusses her family and childhood, her education, her move to Phoenix, and the origin of The Arizona Tribune. More broadly, she discusses: the strengths and weaknesses of black newspapers in the United States; the struggle to find employment as a black educator; the economic strife of black publications; and the importance of a diverse readership. Banks mentions her late husband Edward Banks, including his move from Huddersfield, England to Phoenix, Arizona; his work as a photographer; their collaboration in starting a newspaper; and his death in 1969. Banks details her motivation to connect African Americans in Phoenix to national issues, as a member of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA). She concludes with a discussion of the Kerner Commission Report (Report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders).

description: Temporally-modulated electron beams have a wide array of applications ranging from the generation of coherently-enhanced electromagnetic radiation to the resonant excitation of electromagnetic wakefields in advanced-accelerator concepts. Likewise producing low-energy ultrashort microbunches could be useful for ultra-fast electron diffraction and new accelerator-based light-source concepts. In this Letter we propose and experimentally demonstrate a passive microbunching technique capable of forming a picosecond bunch train at $\sim 6$~MeV. The method relies on the excitation of electromagnetic wakefields as the beam propagates through a dielectric-lined waveguide. Owing to the non-ultrarelativistic nature of the beam, the induced energy modulation eventually converts into a density modulation as the beam travels in a following free-space drift. The modulated beam is further accelerated to $\sim20$~MeV while preserving the imparted density modulation.

Comparative analyses of extinction risk in vertebrates

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Measures of current extinction risk imply that a high proportion of the world’s species are threatened with global extinction in the near future, stressing the need for thorough understanding of extinction processes. In this thesis, I investigate three aspects of current global species extinction risk, using novel phylogenetic and spatially-explicit comparative methods. First, I develop a new measure of the phylogenetic-signal strength in extinction risk, and use it to show that the nonrandomness in global mammalian extinction risk differs with threatening processes. These results imply that the biological traits which increase species’ susceptibility depend on the anthropogenic threat experienced. Secondly, I investigate the focus of current extinction risk, both spatially and in terms of biological traits increasing risk. I model regional extinction-risk correlates for mammals across the globe, finding strong geographical variation in the influence of biological traits on risk, and in trait interactions with anthropogenic impacts. I also compare biological and anthropogenic correlates of global extinction risk across and within mammals, birds and frogs. Results from this large-scale comparative study further confirm the strong heterogeneity of extinction processes, with taxon-specific traits playing a relatively large role in determining species’ fates. Finally, I estimate possible impacts of current extinction risk using three measures of global mammalian diversity: species richness, phylogenetic diversity and functional diversity. My results show that selective losses of large species will deplete functional variety in mammals, especially in the tropics. Loss of functional diversity is much higher than expected under random species loss, and there is low congruence with losses of species richness and phylogenetic diversity. The selectivity of current extinction risk means that we stand to lose a very biased sample of global diversity, with potentially severe consequences for ecosystem functioning.

description: Certain four-dimensional $N=4$ supersymmetric theories have special vacua in which massive charged vector supermultiplets become massless, resulting in an enhanced non-abelian gauge symmetry. We show here that any two $N=4$ theories having the same Bogomolnyi spectrum at corresponding points of their moduli spaces have the same enhanced symmetry groups. In particular, the $K_3\times T^2$ compactified type II string is argued to have the same enhanced symmetry groups as the $T^6$-compactified heterotic string, giving further evidence for our conjecture that these two string theories are equivalent. A feature of the enhanced symmetry phase is that for every electrically charged state whose mass tends to zero as an enhanced symmetry point is approached, there are magnetically charged and dyonic states whose masses also tend to zero, a result that applies equally to N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. These extra non-perturbative massless states in the $K_3$ compactification result from $p$-branes wrapping around collapsed homology two-cycles of $K_3$. Finally, we show how membrane `wrapping modes' lead to symmetry enhancement in D=11 supergravity, providing further evidence that the $K_3$-compactified D=11 supergravity is the effective field theory of the strong coupling limit of the $T^3$-compactified heterotic string.
