description: The zero momentum sectors in effective theories of three dimensional QCD coupled to pseudoreal (two colors) and real (adjoint) quarks in a classically parity-invariant manner have alternative descriptions in terms of orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of random matrices. Using this correspondence, we compute finite-volume QCD partition functions and correlation functions of Dirac operator eigenvalues in a presence of finite quark masses of the order of the smallest Dirac eigenvalue. These novel correlation functions, expressed in terms of quaternion determinants, are reduced to conventional results for the Gaussian ensembles in the quenched limit.

description: The Area II survey conducted by SWCA resulted in the documentation of 50 archaeological sites and 78 isolated finds. Sixteen of the archaeological sites were newly discovered, and of the 44 previously documented sites, 33 were found and reinvestigated. The archaeological sites included 15 prehistoric/ethnographic sites associated with Native Americans, 32 historic sites potentially associated with Euro‐Americans, and 3 multi‐component sites with prehistoric/ethnohistoric and historic components. The prehistoric/ethnohistoric sites and components were composed of 8 lithic quarry and reduction sites, 6 lithic scatters, 1 lithic scatter/possible quarry site, 3 rock shelters, and 1 milling station. The historic sites and components included 4 transportation sites (3 roads and 1 railroad), 3 military refuse scatters, 4 mining‐related sites, 22 refuse scatters, and 2 telecommunication sites. The isolated finds comprise 18 prehistoric/ethnohistoric isolates and 65 historic isolates.
title: The Influence of Prediction Error Strength on Reconsolidation

description: It has been well established that consolidated memories can be reactivated and enter a labile state where they are once again vulnerable to modification. Reactivated memories, therefore, need to be restabilized or reconsolidated. Prediction error (PE) is one of the most common ways of reactivating consolidated memories, yet no studies have examined how varying the strength of PE influences reconsolidation. The present study aimed to determine if the strength of PE is an important factor for triggering reconsolidation and if so, how PE strength influences the reconsolidation process, whether through strengthening or weakening the memory. To vary PE strength, participants were presented with triplets of images on Day 1. The first two images created a predictable context for the following target image. The context and target images repeated together either 4 times (high PE), 1 time (low PE), or not at all (no PE), to vary the strength of prediction. On Day 2, PE was introduced by replacing the expected Day 1 targets with novel targets for the reactivation group. A control group was presented with a new sequence of images and experienced no PE. Finally, on Day 3 all participants were tested on their memory of Day 1 and Day 2 targets using a recognition memory test. We predicted that high PE would result in better memory for both Day 1 and Day 2 targets. We also predicted that the reactivation group would remember more Day 1 and Day 2 targets compared to the control group. We did not find the predicted pattern of results. Participants in the reactivation group showed significantly worse memory for items in the high PE and low PE conditions compared to the NoPE conditions. We also did not find evidence of reconsolidation. There was no difference in memory performance between the reactivation group (experienced PE) and the control group (did not experience PE).

description: Chemoinformatics has developed efficient ways of representing chemical structures for small molecules as simple text strings, simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) and the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI), which are machine-readable. In particular, InChIs have been extended to encode formalized representations of mixtures and reactions, and work is ongoing to represent polymers and other macromolecules in this way. The next frontier is encoding the multi-component structures of nanomaterials (NMs) in a machine-readable format to enable linking of datasets for nanoinformatics and regulatory applications. A workshop organized by the H2020 research infrastructure NanoCommons and the nanoinformatics project NanoSolveIT analysed issues involved in developing an InChI for NMs (NInChI). The layers needed to captureNMstructures include but are not limited to: core composition (possibly multi-layered); surface topography; surface coatings or functionalization; doping with other chemicals; and representation of impurities. NM distributions (size, shape, composition, surface properties, etc.), types of chemical linkages connecting surface functionalization and coating molecules to the core, and various crystallographic forms exhibited by NMs also need to be considered. Six case studies were conducted to elucidate requirements for unambiguous description of NMs. The suggested NInChI layers are intended to stimulate further analysis that will lead to the first version of a “nano” extension to the InChI standard.

description: The highly conserved c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) signalling pathway has
 many functions, regulating a diversity of processes: from cell movement
 during embryogenesis to the stress response of cells after
environmental insults. Studies modelling cancer using the vinegar fly,
Drosophila melanogaster, have identified both pro- and anti-tumourigenic
 roles for JNK signalling, depending on context. As a tumour suppressor,
 JNK signalling commonly is activated by conserved Tumour Necrosis
Factor (TNF) signalling, which promotes the caspase-mediated death of
tumourigenic cells. JNK pathway activation can also occur via actin
cytoskeleton alterations, and after cellular damage inflicted by
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, JNK signalling frequently
acts in concert with Salvador-Warts-Hippo (SWH) signalling – either
upstream of or parallel to this potent growth-suppressing pathway. As a
tumour promoter, JNK signalling is co-opted by cells expressing
activated Ras-MAPK signalling (among other pathways), and used to drive
cell morphological changes, induce invasive behaviours, block
differentiation, and enable persistent cell proliferation. Furthermore,
JNK is capable of non-autonomous influences within tumour microenvironments by effecting the transcription of various cell growth-
 and proliferation-promoting molecules. In this review, we discuss these
 aspects of JNK signalling in Drosophila tumourigenesis models, and
highlight recent publications that have expanded our knowledge of this
important and versatile pathway.

Coordination Chemistry of Manganese, Iron, Cobalt and Zinc Complexes Bearing Pentadentate Ligands and Their Application in Oxidation Catalysis
Creators: name: Grau, Michaela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The research described in this thesis concerns the synthesis and characterisation of manganese(II), iron(II), cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes bearing linear pentadentate ligands with N-, O- and S-donors. The complexes can be described by the general formula [LM(II)X2], where X is an anionic ligand such as chloride, bromide, triflate or hexafluoroantimonate, L is a linear pentadentate ligand and M is the metal(II) ion. Two aspects have been the main focus in this study: the coordination geometry of these complexes and their catalytic performance in the oxidation of hydrocarbons. The X-ray structure analysis of some of the complexes revealed an intriguing change in the coordination of the ligand around the metal centre from octahedral to pentagonal bipyramidal or trigonal bipyramidal depending on the ligand field strength. Furthermore, it was found that one of the iron(II) complexes in solution changes its coordination geometry from pentagonal bipyramidal to trigonal bipyramidal. This represents a novel temperature-dependent complex coordination equilibrium. The complexes were tested for catalytic hydrocarbon oxidation using hydrogen peroxide as primary oxidant. The manganese(II) and cobalt(II) complexes were found to be inactive, whereas the iron(II) complexes showed low to moderate activity and product selectivity. Furthermore, the reactivity of the iron(II) complexes towards other primary oxidants was investigated and it was found that when reacted with tert-butylhydroperoxide at low temperatures, a series of iron(II) complexes with pentadentate ligands X2Py3 (X = NH, NMe, S and O) form iron(III) tert-butylperoxo complexes. These reactive intermediates were characterised by several spectroscopic methods and it was concluded that in correlation with the ligand field strength, the complexes with ligands (NH)2Py3 and S2Py3 form low-spin species, whereas those with ligands (NMe)2Py3 and O2Py3 form high-spin iron(III) complexes.

description: Data is central to scholarly research, but the nature and location of data used is often under-reported in research publications. Greater transparency and citation of data have positive effects for the culture of research. This article presents the results of a survey of data citation in six years of articles published in the journal GESTURE (12.1-17.2). Gesture researchers draw on a broad range of data types, but the source and location of data are often not disclosed in publications. There is also still a strong research focus on only a small range of the world’s languages and their linguistic diversity. Published papers rarely cite back to the primary data, unless it is already published. We discuss both the implications of these findings and the ways that scholars in the field of gesture studies can build a positive culture around open data.

We find that quantum coherence can also be utilized for unambiguous quantum state discrimination. We present a protocol and quantify the required coherence for this task. We discuss the optimal unambiguous quantum state discrimination strategy in some cases. In particular, our work illustrates an avenue to find the optimal strategy for discriminating two nonorthogonal quantum states by measuring quantum coherence.

Modeling the Evolutionary Ecology of Stress Responses in Microbes
Creators: name: Nilsson, Susanna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Microbes are constantly exposed to a wide range of environmental stresses. To cope, all microbial species have developed protective mechanisms that can safeguard against potential damages due to stress. While stress protection is a beneficial contributor to microbial survival, it also carries a cost. The launch of a stress response diverts cellular resources to the synthesis of energetically expensive stress protectants. Consequently, responding and adapting to stress reduces growth in nutrient-poor environments. Hence the ability to balance allocation of available resources between stress protection and nutritional capacity in response to environmental signals is a fundamental property required for microbial survival with important consequences for species abundance and distribution in nature. This thesis deals with microbial survival strategies and their ecological impacts in two parts: First, we investigate the balance between stress-protection and nutrition as a driver of intra-species evolutionary divergence. Using a simple mathematical model we show that the protection-nutrition balance itself is sufficient to generate diversity within an initially monomorphic microbial population growing in a spatially homogeneous environment containing a single limiting resource. From experimental data we then estimate resource allocation between nutritional and stress resistant properties in glucose-limited E. coli chemostat populations subject to a range of environmental challenges and find that the evolutionary trajectories of multiple types can be predicted using the mathematical model. Second, we investigate the impact of inter-species differential survival strategies on microbial community structure within a Candida infection niche. Focusing on the lifestyles of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata under antifungal stress we build a mathematical model of niche competition within an infection. Calibrating the model using experimental data, we then generate predictions for the long term Candida ecology and find that the model is indeed predictive of equilibrium population distribution within a given infection niche.

description: We implement the numerical inverse scattering transform (NIST) for the sine-Gordon equation in laboratory coordinates on the real line using the method developed by Trogdon, Olver and Deconinck. The NIST allows one to compute the solution at any x and t without having spatial discretization or time-stepping. The numerical implementation is fully spectrally accurate. With the help of the method of nonlinear steepest descent, the NIST is demonstrated to be uniformly accurate.

description: This paper is an analysis of the use of reported speech in six Tibeto-Burman languages from two closely-related sub-branches (Tamangic and Tibetic). The data come from a set of interview narratives about people’s experiences of the 2015 earthquakes in Nepal. The analysis begins with an examination of the relationship between reported speech, overt subjects and ergativity. We also look at reported speech and evidentiality, including grammatical reported speech evidentials. Structural features discussed include hybrid reported speech and multiple clause relationality. Interactional features discussed include the use of deictic shift, prominent subordination, and the multiple functions of reported speech forms, as well as zero-marked reported speech events. This analysis highlights the benefits of studying linguistic features such as reported speech in narrative context. We conclude with the implications of this usage-based analysis in the coverage of reported speech in descriptive grammars.
Schwinger Pair Production via Instantons in Strong Electric Fields

description: In the space-dependent gauge, each mode of the Klein-Gordon equation in a strong electric field takes the form of a time-independent Schrödinger equation with a potential barrier. We propose that the single- and multi-instantons of quantum tunneling may be related with the single- and multi-pair production of bosons and the relative probability for the no-pair production is determined by the total tunneling probability via instantons. In the case of a uniform electric field, the instanton interpretation recovers exactly the well-known pair production rate for bosons and when the Pauli blocking is taken into account, it gives the correct fermion production rate. The instanton is used to calculate the pair production rate even in an inhomogeneous electric field. Furthermore, the instanton interpretation confirms the fact that bosons and fermions can not be produced by a static magnetic field only.

Martensitic transformation in TiNi based shape memory alloys – a first principles study
Creators: name: Gandi, Appala Naidu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: The martensitic transformation in TiNi-based shape memory alloys has been investigated using various theoretical methods. The direct method for ab initio lattice dynamics is used for calculating phonon dispersion relations in austenite (B2) and martensites (B19, B19′). Normal mode symmetries in a B2 crystal are determined. Vibrational modes in the B2 crystal are labelled according to symmetry properties of their polarisation vector. Normal modes with imaginary frequencies are observed at the locations of experimentally observed soft modes. While labelling normal modes, the published mode symmetry label of a soft transverse acoustic (TA2) mode with a [Mathematical formula appears here. To view, please open pdf attachment] polarisation at [Mathematical formula appears here. To view, please open pdf attachment] is corrected to Σ2. Irreducible representations of the soft modes are used for determining the order parameters for various martensitic transformation paths experimentally observed using group theoretical methods. Accuracy of the interpolated frequencies in the phonon dispersion relations is assessed by using three different supercell sizes and by calculating the elastic constants from the slopes of the acoustic branches at the Brillouin zone. Born et al. derived a relation between the force constants and elastic constants for a general crystal. Further simplification of this relation is possible for a B2 crystal because of its symmetry. This simplification is derived by applying elementary group theory. Elastic constants calculated with the simplified relation are in agreement with the elastic constants calculated from the slopes of the dispersion relations. The self-consistent ab initio lattice dynamics (SCAILD) formulation is derived for an ordered compound. Precautions that need to be taken while practically implementing this formulation are discussed. The effect of Hf or Zr addition to a binary Ti-Ni system is studied by considering one configuration at each of five compositions from 0 to 25 at.% Hf or Zr. Elastic constants are calculated following a homogeneous deformation method. Selected normal mode frequencies are calculated using the direct method.

description: We present new BeppoSAX LECS, MECS, and PDS observations of five lobe-dominated, broad-line active galactic nuclei selected from the 2 Jy sample of southern radio sources. These include three radio quasars and two broad-line radio galaxies. ROSAT PSPC data, available for all the objects, are also used to better constrain the spectral shape in the soft X-ray band. The collected data cover the 0.1 - 10 keV energy range, reaching 40 keV for one source. Detailed spectral fitting shows that all sources have a flat hard X-ray spectrum with energy index alpha_x ~ 0.75 in the 2 - 10 keV energy range. This is a new result, which is at variance with the situation at lower energies where these sources exhibit steeper spectra. Spectral breaks ~0.5 at 1 - 2 keV characterize the overall X-ray spectra of our objects. The flat, high-energy slope is very similar to that displayed by flat-spectrum/core-dominated quasars, which suggests that the same emission mechanism (most likely inverse Compton) produces the hard X-ray spectra in both classes. Contrary to the optical evidence for some of our sources, no absorption above the Galactic value is found in our sample. Finally, a (weak) thermal component is also present at low energies in the two broad-line radio galaxies included in our study.

description: In machine learning, the notion of multi-armed bandits refers to a class of online learning problems, in which an agent is supposed to simultaneously explore and exploit a given set of choice alternatives in the course of a sequential decision process. In the standard setting, the agent learns from stochastic feedback in the form of real-valued rewards. In many applications, however, numerical reward signals are not readily available -- instead, only weaker information is provided, in particular relative preferences in the form of qualitative comparisons between pairs of alternatives. This observation has motivated the study of variants of the multi-armed bandit problem, in which more general representations are used both for the type of feedback to learn from and the target of prediction. The aim of this paper is to provide a survey of the state of the art in this field, referred to as preference-based multi-armed bandits or dueling bandits. To this end, we provide an overview of problems that have been considered in the literature as well as methods for tackling them. Our taxonomy is mainly based on the assumptions made by these methods about the data-generating process and, related to this, the properties of the preference-based feedback.

Aspects of human papillomavirus (HPV) disease in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
Creators: name: Meys, Rhonda

description: Cutaneous and genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in HIV patients, on suppressive anti-retroviral therapy (ART), poses under-investigated clinical challenges. HPV in HIV may represent a form of immune reconstitution associated disease (IRAD). HPV disease and IRADs have been separately correlated with human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genotype. HLA might also influence HPV in HIV. Comprehensive HPV typing of persistent warts obtained from HIV infected and healthy subjects was performed. Cutaneous HPV types were detected using nested PCR/sequencing and newly developed (Luminex based) HSLPCR/ MPG; genital and beta HPV types were identified using a reverse hybridisation line probe assay. Real time PCR was employed to determine HPV DNA viral loads. HLA alleles were defined in HIV infected and healthy patients by Luminex-based molecular typing using DNA derived from blood. The HPV profile of cutaneous and genital HIV warts differs significantly from warts from healthy individuals. In HIV, HPV 7 has been confirmed to be an important HPV type in cutaneous warts (p=0.001). In genital warts in HIV, HPV 11 is the predominant HPV type (p=0.15) and HPV 6 is less common (p=0.002), contrasting with the usual finding that HPV 6 is the principal type in the general population. Cross-over of HPV types between cutaneous and genital sites suggests that HPV tropism is less important than previously thought. An excess of beta HPV types, predominantly as mixed infections, is seen in cutaneous warts in HIV (p<0.0005). The HLA class I allele group HLA-B*44 (as the allele HLA-B*44:02 and the haplotype HLA-B*44, -C*05) has been identified more frequently in HIV than in controls (p=0.004, allele group; p=0.0006, allele; p=0.001, haplotype). The class II allele HLA-DQB1*06 may also be of interest (p=0.03). However, the differences are reduced after correction for multiple testing. Further work is required to ascertain if these HPV types and alleles are of importance.

description: The extremely rapid burst of TeV photons from Mkn 421 (15 May 1996) can be reconciled with the standard properties of a relativistic gamma-ray emitting jet (bulk Lorentz factor $\approx$ 10; size $\10^{17}$ cm) if one assumes that the electrons are accelerated in conical shocks with both opening and viewing angles $\approx 1/Γ$. If the injection time and the cooling time are much less than the photon crossing time, an emission ring moves along the jet and leads to the appearance of a very rapid flare, in satisfactory agreement with the observations.

description: Hydromagnetic turbulence produced during phase transitions in the early universe can be a powerful source of stochastic gravitational waves (GWs). GWs can be modelled by the linearised spatial part of the Einstein equations sourced by the Reynolds and Maxwell stresses. We have implemented two different GW solvers into the {\sc Pencil Code} -- a code which uses a third order timestep and sixth order finite differences. Using direct numerical integration of the GW equations, we study the appearance of a numerical degradation of the GW amplitude at the highest wavenumbers, which depends on the length of the timestep -- even when the Courant--Friedrichs--Lewy condition is ten times below the stability limit. This degradation leads to a numerical error, which is found to scale with the third power of the timestep. A similar degradation is not seen in the magnetic and velocity fields. To mitigate numerical degradation effects, we alternatively use the exact solution of the GW equations under the assumption that the source is constant between subsequent timesteps. This allows us to use a much longer timestep, which cuts the computational cost by a factor of about ten.

description: Geo-Marine, Inc., conducted archaeological inventory of 6,989 acres on EC South Range, part of the Nellis Test and Training Range. The primary goal of the project was to integrate empirical data, including associations of features and material culture with potential sacred significance, and ethnographic data to characterize the archaeological resources of EC South Range. Ethnographic data were provided by Native American crew members during fieldwork. The project addressed requirements under provisions of Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Field inventory was conducted between September 17, 2008, and February 6, 2009, documenting 71 newly recorded sites within 52 sample units. Most sites reflected use for settlement and subsistence, but many also had archaeological indicators of symbolic and sociocultural use.

subject: FOS: Languages and literature

description: This paper is an analysis of the use of reported speech in six Tibeto-Burman languages from two closely-related sub-branches (Tamangic and Tibetic). The data come from a set of interview narratives about people’s experiences of the 2015 earthquakes in Nepal. The analysis begins with an examination of the relationship between reported speech, overt subjects and ergativity. We also look at reported speech and evidentiality, including grammatical reported speech evidentials. Structural features discussed include hybrid reported speech and multiple clause relationality. Interactional features discussed include the use of deictic shift, prominent subordination, and the multiple functions of reported speech forms, as well as zero-marked reported speech events. This analysis highlights the benefits of studying linguistic features such as reported speech in narrative context. We conclude with the implications of this usage-based analysis in the coverage of reported speech in descriptive grammars.

Inferential stability in systems biology
Creators: name: Kirk, Paul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The modern biological sciences are fraught with statistical difficulties. Biomolecular stochasticity, experimental noise, and the “large p, small n” problem all contribute to the challenge of data analysis. Nevertheless, we routinely seek to draw robust, meaningful conclusions from observations. In this thesis, we explore methods for assessing the effects of data variability upon downstream inference, in an attempt to quantify and promote the stability of the inferences we make. We start with a review of existing methods for addressing this problem, focusing upon the bootstrap and similar methods. The key requirement for all such approaches is a statistical model that approximates the data generating process. We move on to consider biomarker discovery problems. We present a novel algorithm for proposing putative biomarkers on the strength of both their predictive ability and the stability with which they are selected. In a simulation study, we find our approach to perform favourably in comparison to strategies that select on the basis of predictive performance alone. We then consider the real problem of identifying protein peak biomarkers for HAM/TSP, an inflammatory condition of the central nervous system caused by HTLV-1 infection. We apply our algorithm to a set of SELDI mass spectral data, and identify a number of putative biomarkers. Additional experimental work, together with known results from the literature, provides corroborating evidence for the validity of these putative biomarkers. Having focused on static observations, we then make the natural progression to time course data sets. We propose a (Bayesian) bootstrap approach for such data, and then apply our method in the context of gene network inference and the estimation of parameters in ordinary differential equation models. We find that the inferred gene networks are relatively unstable, and demonstrate the importance of finding distributions of ODE parameter estimates, rather than single point estimates.
