Retinoic acid signalling in human lung disease and repair
Creators: name: Ng-Blichfeldt, John-Poul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The normal adult mammalian lung has a robust capacity to regenerate following injury, and evidence for alveolar regeneration was recently demonstrated in adult man. In contrast, mounting evidence suggests COPD/emphysema represents a failure of regeneration. COPD represents an enormous worldwide clinical and social burden, with currently no cure besides lung transplantation. An appealing therapeutic option is induction of endogenous lung regeneration using retinoic acid (RA), demonstrated to stimulate alveolar regeneration in animal models of emphysema. However, clinical trials investigating retinoids for chronic lung diseases have been disappointing. Thus, there is a profound stimulus to understand how the regeneration-inducing effects of RA in animal models translate to man. The molecular regulation of RA signalling in emphysema has not been investigated hitherto, and the role of RA in repair of specific human alveolar cell types, alveolar type 2 cells and lung microvascular endothelial cells, is unknown. Work in this thesis was conducted to address these questions. We demonstrated that CYP26A1, which breaks down RA, is enriched on an mRNA and protein level in emphysematous lung tissue. We also demonstrated using in vitro cell culture assays that RA is unlikely to directly regulate alveolar epithelial wound healing. In contrast, RA stimulated lung microvascular endothelial angiogenesis, likely via retinoic acid receptor alpha, and was associated with induction of angiogenic genes. Further work presented herein involved development of an ex vivo model of lung regeneration using precision cut lung slices (PCLS) derived from adult human distal lung tissue. We demonstrated that human PCLS retain architecture and viability through slicing, that 10% serum supplementation is inappropriate for long-term PCLS culture, and that human PCLS remain viable for at least 4 days in culture, suggesting they are amenable to development of an injury/repair model within this time frame.

description: We improve the calculation of the equation of state for two flavor QCD by simulating on $N_t=6$ lattices at appropriate values of the couplings for the deconfinement/chiral symmetry restoration crossover. For $am_q=0.0125$ the energy density rises rapidly to approximately 1 ${\rm GeV/fm^3}$ just after the crossover($m_π/m_ρ\approx 0.4$ at this point). Comparing with our previous result for $N_t=4$~\cite{eos}, we find large finite $N_t$ corrections as expected from free field theory on finite lattices. We also provide formulae for extracting the speed of sound from the measured quantities.

Study of carbon contamination in Solid Oxide Cells
Creators: name: Duboviks, Vladislavs
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: An attractive application for the solid oxide cell (SOC) technology is to enable reversible energy conversion. SOCs can efficiently convert chemical energy into electricity. Equally, SOCs can utilise electrical energy to upgrade low energy fuels into higher energy mixtures. A key step in the development of the reversible SOC is mitigating carbon deposition to allow stable long term operation in the presence of hydrocarbons. The work presented in this thesis describes comprehensive analysis of the performance of current state-of-the-art materials followed by the development of a copper-based electrode with both technologically relevant performance and no carbon formation during electrolysis of CO2 in the presence of methane. For current state-of-the-art nickel materials, positive bias was found to suppress carbon deposits in pure CO, while negative bias facilitated cell degradation through increased carbon formation and subsequent electrode delamination. In situ and ex situ Raman analysis of the conventional cermet Ni/Gd0.1Ce0.9O2-δ (Ni/CGO) electrodes revealed differences in amount, location and type of carbon formed during CO – CO2 electrolysis. The rate of carbon deposition was also greatly increased in the presence of H2. The positive effect of a CGO interlayer on reducing carbon formation for nickel was demonstrated. Building upon the result of the conventional electrodes’ testing, a new batch of electrodes was prepared through a low temperature metal infiltration technique. Low temperature processing allowed Cu/CGO electrodes to be fabricated, which are difficult to produce with conventional techniques because of the low melting point of copper. It was demonstrated that the electrochemical performance of Cu/CGO electrodes is equivalent to Ni/CGO electrodes, whilst carbon formation is fully suppressed. This observation suggests that the electrocatalytic activity of these electrodes is dependent on CGO rather than metal (Cu or Ni), and moreover that the electrodes are ideally suited to biogas upgrade applications without deleterious carbon deposition.

Smooth interpolation of lattice gauge fields by signal processing methods

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We digitally filter the Fourier modes of the link angles of an abelian lattice gauge field which produces the Fourier modes of a continuum $A_μ(x)$ that exactly reproduces the lattice links through their definition as phases of finite parallel transport. The constructed interpolation is smooth ($C^\infty$), free from transition functions, and gauge equivariant. After discussing some properties of this interpolation, we discuss the non-abelian generalization of the method, arriving for SU(2), at a Cayley parametrization of the links in terms of the Fourier modes of $A^c_μ(x)$. We then discuss the use of a maximum entropy type method to address gauge invariance in the non-abelian case.

description: X-ray emission from the distant lensing cluster CL2236-04 at $z$ = 0.552 was discovered by ASCA and ROSAT/HRI observations. If the spherical symmetric mass distribution model of the cluster is assumed, the lensing estimate of the cluster mass is a factor of two higher than that obtained from X-ray observations as reported for many distant clusters. However, the elliptical and clumpy lens model proposed by Kneib et al.(1993) is surprisingly consistent with the X-ray observations assuming that the X-ray emitting hot gas is isothermal and in a hydrostatic equilibrium state. The existence of the cooling flow in the central region of the cluster is indicated by the short central cooling time and the excess flux detected by ROSAT/HRI compared to the ASCA flux. However, it is shown that even if the AXJ2239-0429 has a cooling flow in the central region, the temperature measured by ASCA which is the mean emission-weighted cluster temperature in this case, should not be cooler than and different from the virial temperature of the cluster. Therefore, we conclude that the effect of the clumpiness and non-zero ellipticity in the mass distribution of the cluster are essential to explain the observed feature of the giant luminous arc, and there is no discrepancy between strong lensing and X-ray estimation of the mass of the cluster in this cluster.

On the evolution of particle fragmentation with applications to planetary surfaces
Creators: name: Charalambous, Constantinos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Fragmentation is a complex phenomenon seen ubiquitously in nature, with the elucidation of its complexity being one of the most popular subjects of the last century. It arises across at a vast multitude of scales in a diverse range of fields such as geophysics and materials, mineral processing, meteorological processes, astrophysics and nuclei impacts - only to be limited by the fundamental units of matter itself. This thesis establishes a new statistical basis for the evolution of particle fragmentation and the resulting product population at all scales. It is informed by the underlying physical processes and builds on the existing disconnected models of fragmentation, mainly the time-continuous grinding and the universality of critical scaleinvariant systems arising in geophysical systems. By extending fractal theory into a temporal context and lifting the various limitations posed by fractals, it provides a solution to the fragmentation problem via a statistical approach which is verified and developed based on terrestrial data from both artificial and natural fragmentation processes. It is then applied to model observations from around the solar system as both an explanatory and predictive approach to the evaluation of planetary surfaces, one of the major areas of study in planetary sciences. Furthermore, a stochastic model for drilling in a planetary regolith is developed both mathematically and through the synthesis of digital soil.
Dirac Spectrum, Axial Anomaly and the QCD Chiral Phase Transition

description: The QCD phase transition is studied on $16^3$ and $32^3 \times 4$ lattices both with and without quark loops. We introduce a new zero-flavor or quenched species of quark $ζ$ and study the resulting chiral condensate, $\azbz$ as a function of the $ζ$ mass, $m_ζ$. By examining $\azbz$ for $10^{-10} \le m_ζ\le 10$ we gain considerable information about the spectrum of Dirac eigenvalues. A comparison of $ma=0.01$ and 0.025 shows little dependence of the Dirac spectrum on such a light, dynamical quark mass, after an overall shift in $β$ is removed. The presence of sufficient small eigenvalues to support anomalous chiral symmetry breaking in the high temperature phase is examined quantitatively. In an effort to enhance these small eigenvalues, $\azbz$ is also examined in the pure gauge theory in the region of the deconfinement transition with unexpected results. Above the critical temperature, the three $Z_3$ phases show dramatically different chiral behavior. Surprisingly, the real phase shows chiral symmetry, suggesting that a system with one flavor of staggered fermion at $N_t=4$ will possess a chiral a phase transition---behavior not expected in the continuum limit.

Organic transistors and complementary circuits
Creators: name: Higgins, Stuart Gregory
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis describes the development of a process flow to allow the fabrication of organic field effect transistors with self-aligned source and drain electrodes, and sub-micron channel lengths on flexible plastic substrates. This was achieved using a combination of bilayer nanoimprint lithography, gravure printed or photolithographically patterned dielectric, and bilayer self-aligned lithography. Effective channel lengths over an order of magnitude could be defined from 375-3800 nm. Electrode overlaps between gate-drain and gate-source of 100-200 nm are demonstrated, yielding very low channel-length normalised overlap capacitances of 0.1-0.6 fF per μm. The viability and behaviour of these architectures was investigated using zone-cast, gravure and inkjet printed semiconductors. State-of-the-art transition frequencies in the range 1-6 MHz were achieved at operating biases < 30 V. The molecular packing of a zone-cast small molecule p-type semiconductor (TIPS-pentacene) was observed to be influenced by the underlying architecture. Simple techniques were developed to quantify gravure printed film quality. Periodic modulation of printed films was observed to be a function of gravure cliché cell geometry and ink formulation. Both gravure and inkjet printed p- and n-type semiconductors (DPPT-TT and P(NDI2OD-T2)) were studied. Thin gravure printed dielectrics were observed to systematically increase effective mobilities, at the expense of an increase in leakage current. Complementary self-aligned inverters are presented, with a peak gain of 28 achieved for devices operating below 20 V, along with NAND and NOR logic gates operating up to 20 kHz. The viability of gravure printing an indacenodithiophene-benzothiadiazole (C16IDT-BT) on plastic is demonstrated yielding effective mobilities in the range 0.04-0.4 cm squared per V per s at V(DS) < 20 V, exceeding previous reports for the behaviour of this material in a bottom-gate, bottom-contact configuration.

Microbubble adhesion to healthy and diseased vascular cells - the role of surface charge
Creators: name: Ja'Afar, Fairuzeta
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Medical ultrasound (US) imaging is an established and powerful tool for diagnostic imaging. Combined with contrast enhancing agents called microbubbles, its imaging performance has been improved, as well as offering a potential tool for molecular imaging and targeted drug delivery and therapeutics. Microbubbles (MBs) consist of micron-sized, inert gas cores stabilised by a lipid monolayer or protein and suspended in aqueous dispersion. These non-targeted blood perfusion agents were found to persist in circulation, sticking to sites of inflammation or injury in the vasculature. This non-targeted MB retention in the vasculature is not fully understood and this project investigates the role of surface charge on MB-cellular adhesive behaviour. The adhesion of current clinical MBs, SonoVue™, Definity™, Optison™, and an experimental agent, BR38, with healthy and diseased vascular phantoms were observed in vitro. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to mimic the healthy vasculature and TNFα-activated HUVECs mimicked the diseased vasculature. Some degree of preferential binding for the TNFα-activated versus non-activated HUVECs was observed, indicating a surface component to this interaction. We hypothesised that surface charge plays a role in this interaction. MB surface charge was characterised with laser Doppler electrophoresis (LDE), the most widely-used method for determining particle surface charge. However, MB buoyancy compromised the reliability of this method and hence a micro-electrophoretic technique to determine MB surface charge was developed. MB electrophoretic movement was tracked using an in-house algorithm which was able to determine MB surface charge with at least a 10-fold improvement in relative standard deviations when compared to the LDE method. Our findings suggest an electrostatic role in MB adhesion to TNFα-activated HUVECs for phospholipid-stabilised MBs but not for protein-stabilised MBs. In conclusion, while surface charge may play a role in MB adhesion, there may be other unknown factors which can contribute to MB-cellular interaction.

description: Geomagnetic effects distort the zenith angle distribution of sub--GeV and few--GeV atmospheric neutrinos, breaking the up--down symmetry that would be present in the absence of neutrino oscillations and without a geomagnetic field. The geomagnetic effects also produce a characteristic azimuthal dependence of the $ν$--fluxes, related to the well known east--west effect, that should be detectable in neutrino experiments of sufficiently large mass. We discuss these effects quantitatively. Because the azimuthal dependence is in first order independent of any oscillation effect, it is a useful diagnostic tool for studying possible systematic effects in the search for neutrino oscillations.

Recycled polymers reinforced with paper plastic laminates
Creators: name: Mitchell, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The aim of this research project was to develop new structural materials from the paper plastic laminate (PPL) waste stream. PPLs containing both paper fibre and plastic coatings are problematic for non-thermal recycling options. The current end of life disposal for PPL is primarily landfill. This work focuses on combining PPL wastes with recycled plastics to produce paper plastic composites (PPCs) that can be used as raw materials for a variety of applications. Plastic from a material recycling facility (MRF) consisting of polyolefins, together with polypropylene (PP) from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) wastes have been the main source of material for the composite matrix. The PPL wastes investigated include paper polyethylene coated disposable beverage cups and multi-layer Tetra Pak cartons. The majority of disposable cups are made from PPLs which consist of high quality cellulose fibre with a thin internal polyethylene coating. There are limited recycling options for PPLs and this has contributed to disposable cups becoming a high profile, problematic waste. In this work PPL wastes have been shredded to form PPL flakes and these have been used to reinforce polyolefins to form novel paper plastic composites (PPCs) based on the waste streams used. The PPL flakes and polyolefins were mixed, extruded, pelletised and injection moulded at temperatures to prevent degradation of the cellulose fibres. The PPLs were prepared by removing waste contaminants and granulated to the correct size to prevent bridging during extrusion. Processing temperatures were kept as low as possible to prevent fibre degradation. Extruded PPC blends were pelletised and injection moulded to form samples for testing. The effects of PPLs in PPCs on processing and properties have been investigated. This included studying the rheology of the extrusion mixes and the strength and stiffness of the PPCs. The effects of coupling agents such as maleated polyolefins and silane based compatibilisers to enhance adhesion between the PPL and the plastic have also been investigated. The level of PPL flake addition and the use of a maleated polyolefin coupling agent to enhance interfacial adhesion have been investigated. PPCs have been characterised and mechanically tested by a range of techniques including tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and rheological experiments. Use of a coupling agent allows composites containing 40 wt.% of PPL flakes to increase the tensile strength of the recycled PP in this research by 50% to 30 MPa. The Young's modulus also increases from 1 to 2.5 GPa and the work to fracture increases by a factor of 5. The work presented here demonstrates that PPLs have potential to be beneficially reused as reinforcement in novel PPCs.

Η επαρχία Σελίνου, παρόλο το ιδιαίτερο φυσικό τοπίο και τη σημαντική ιστορία της, αποτελεί έναν από τους δήμους με τη μεγαλύτερη πληθυσμιακή μείωση στην Ελλάδα.  Η οικονομία του τόπου βασίζεται στον μαζικό τουρισμό και στα σύνθετα συστήματα καλλιέργειας, με αποτέλεσμα τη μετακίνηση του πληθυσμού από την ενδοχώρα προς το παραθαλάσσιο τμήμα του. Η μετακίνηση αυτή, οδήγησε σε μεγάλο ποσοστό κτηριακού αποθέματος. Ιδιαίτερο αρχιτεκτονικό και πολιτιστικό ενδιαφέρον παρουσιάζουν τα σχολικά κτήρια τα οποία με το πέρας των χρόνων έμειναν ανενεργά. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία στοχεύει στην αναβίωση των σχολικών αυτών μονάδων, δημιουργώντας ένα δίκτυο ανάμεσα στα χωριά του Δήμου, επιλέγοντας έξι σχολεία από όλες τις τοπικές κοινότητες αυτού.

Σκοπός λοιπόν είναι, αυτός ο ξεχασμένος τόπος να αναβιώσει επανασχεδιάζοντας τα κτήρια που εγκαταλείφθηκαν.
description: Southwest of Chania lies a forgotten place. The province of Selino, despite its unique natural landscape and significant history, is one of the municipalities experiencing the largest population decline in Greece. The local economy is based on mass tourism and complex farming systems, leading to the population's shift from the inland to the coastal part of the region. This movement has resulted in a large percentage of building stock being left unused. The school buildings, which have become inactive over the years, present particular architectural and cultural interest. This thesis aims to revive these school units by creating a network among the villages of the Municipality, selecting six schools from all its local communities. The selection of buildings was based on two main factors: their location relevant to the main hubs of Kantanos and Paleochora and the unique characteristics of each village. The proposed design is based on the architecture of the existing schools and can create a coherent whole with the environment. The chosen uses aim at the local and super-local development of the municipality, facilitating the daily life of its inhabitants and decongesting the capital. Therefore, the goal is to revive this forgotten place by redesigning the abandoned buildings.

description: The large number of top quarks produced at the LHC and possible future hadron colliders allows to study rare decays of this particle. In many well motivated models of new physics, for example in non-minimal composite-Higgs models, the existence of scalar singlets can induce new flavor-violating top decays surpassing the Higgs contribution by orders of magnitude. We study the discovery prospects of rare top decays within such models and develop new search strategies to test these interactions in top pair-produced events at the LHC. We demonstrate that scales as large as $10$--$50$ TeV can be probed. Improvements by factors of $\sim 1.5$ and $\sim 3$ can be obtained at $\sqrt{s} = 27$ TeV and $\sqrt{s} = 100$ TeV colliders.

description: The solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation with various closure approximations is studied. This problem is rewritten as an integral equation that can be solved iteratively on a grid. The convergence of the fixed point iterations is relatively slow. We consider transformations of the sequence of solution vectors using non-linear sequence transformations, so-called vector extrapolation processes. An example is the vector J transformation. The transformed vector sequences turn out to converge considerably faster than the original sequences.

description: The synthesis of 2,3-indoles of Glycyrrhetinic acid (GLA) and its methyl ester was carried out by the Fischer reaction. Reductive transformations of GLA methyl ester 2,3-indole 3a were carried out to obtain 11-deoxo- and 9,12-diene analogs. N-methylation of 2,3-indole 3a gave N-methyl-indole-11-oxo-18β-olean-12-en-30-oic acid. The antiulcer and anti-inflammatory activity of 2,3-indole 3a was studied in rats and mice. It was found, compound 3a exhibied a pronounced antiulcer activity in the indomethacin model of ulcers in rats and anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan model of acute edoema in mice, at a dose of 50 mg/kg. This is the first report of anti-ulcer and anti-inflammatory activities of 2,3-indolo-GLA derivatives.

description: The detection of rapid variability on a time-scale of hours in radio-quiet quasars (RQQSOs) could be a powerful discriminator between starburst, accretion disc and relativistic jet models of these sources. This paper contains an account of a dedicated search for rapid optical variability in RQQSOs. The technique used differential photometry between the RQQSO and stars in the same field of view of the CCD. The 23 RQQSOs that were observed all have high luminosities (-27 < Mv 1. The total amount of observation time was about 60 hours and these observations are part of an ongoing programme, started in September 1990, to search for rapid variability in RQQSOs. No evidence for short-term variability greater than about 0.1 magnitudes was detected in any of the 23 sources, however long-term variability was recorded for the radio-quiet quasar PG 2112+059. The finding charts are included here because they identify the RQQSO and the reference stars used in the photometry, and hence are available for use by other observers.

description: A numerous previous reports on Polish women’s emigration provided information on their passive role in the decision making process concerning leaving Poland, obtaining employment predominantly in the sector of household services or their marriage-oriented strategy of survival in the foreign country. The current picture of women’s roles in emigration has been changed. The purpose of the presented research was to explore the paths of self-realization of Polish female emigrants regarding the gender roles realised by them in the field of the work-life balance idea. The research was conducted in psycho-sociological approach.
There were 113 adult Polish female emigrants, who had spent a period of time exceeding one year on emigration in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia admitted to the research. This project was realised on the basis of quantitative data gathered throughout online survey and supplemented by qualitative data in the shape of 15 semi-structured interviews.
The obtained results showed that the examined Polish women declare to undertake gender roles compliant with the new cultural model, and to lesser extent compliant to the traditional one. They demonstrated proactiveness in the phase of decision-making about emigration and as they attempted to combine their family life with the professional sphere in the country they have arrived in what corresponds with the WLB idea promoted in developed countries.

description: In the article the author focuses on the analysis of Sino-Indian rivalry in the three countries, seeking common points and differences in their situation. These are the inland Nepal, located between India and China; the islands of Sri Lanka, lying adjacent to the Indian subcontinent; and the Maldives, five hundred kilometer away from it. Author claims that in the 21st century there is an increase of intensity in relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of India in the field of competitive impacts in the analyzed countries. However, due to the significantly lower potential of India in the economic sphere and less activity in the international arena, the policy of this country in South Asia is most often reactive to China's actions. In the 21st century a significant change in the political situation in Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldives can be seen. India's former hegemony has been undermined by China, which has gained an advantage in all of these countries.

description: Common bunt (Tilletia caries) is a seed transmitted fungal disease in wheat. The resistance cultivars and lines of wheat should use to control this type of diseases in organic farming. A set of 75 wheat cultivars and lines from IWWIP of Turkey used. During the period 2016-2017, an experiment was carried out at the Kazakh Research Institute of Agriculture and Growing in an artificially inoculated nursery. The susceptible check, GEREK 79, had a high level of susceptibility to common bunt with 59.7% infected heads. The high mean disease incidence in the nursery was 74.4%. The sixteen genotypes were resistant to disease under artificial inoculation. The forty-two wheat genotypes (56% of all genotypes) expressed moderate resistance, which infected around 2.0-27.3% of ears. The wheat lines had different levels of agronomic traits under artificial inoculation of common bunt. The productivity of wheat genotypes under artificial infection ranged from 1.13 t/ha to 7.29 t/ha. The expected strong positive correlation was detected between the grain number and grain weight (r = 0.7), between the grain weight and TKW (r = 0.75) and the grain weight and total grain weight (r = 0.79). The negative correlation was found between the bunted ears and all agronomic traits. Identified resistance genotypes will be useful for breeding programs to forming resistance cultivars to common bunt in Kazakhstan.

description: First results of a recently started simulation of full QCD with two flavours of sea-quarks at a coupling of $β= 5.6$ on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice are presented. Emphasis is laid on the statistical significance that can be achieved by an ``integrated luminosity'' of 140 TFlop$\times$hrs, for Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations at four intermediate values of $\frac{m_π}{m_ρ}$. The simulation takes place on the Quadrics QH2 at DESY/Zeuthen and DFG/Bielefeld. The performance is optimized by means of BiCGStab and the chronological inversion method of Brower et al. We discuss the systematic errors arising from lack of the molecular dynamic's reversibility on the 32-bit QH2. For plaquette and meson correlators we find integrated autocorrelation times of $< 20$ units of molecular dynamics time and exponential autocorrelation times of about $50$ units. Using these results we perform preliminary measurements of the central potential and $π$ and $ρ$ correlators on independent configurations and obtain first estimates of the lattice spacings at three values of the dynamical hopping parameter.

description: We perform two-photon photoassociation spectroscopy of the heteronuclear CsYb molecule to measure the binding energies of near-threshold vibrational levels of the $X~^{2}Σ_{1/2}^{+}$ molecular ground state. We report results for $^{133}$Cs$^{170}$Yb, $^{133}$Cs$^{173}$Yb and $^{133}$Cs$^{174}$Yb, in each case determining the energy of several vibrational levels including the least-bound state. We fit an interaction potential based on electronic structure calculations to the binding energies for all three isotopologs and find that the ground-state potential supports 77 vibrational levels. We use the fitted potential to predict the interspecies s-wave scattering lengths for all seven Cs+Yb isotopic mixtures.

description: In the standard Big Bang cosmology the canonical value for the ratio of relic neutrinos to CMB photons is 9/11. Within the framework of the Standard Model of particle physics there are small corrections, in sum about 1%, due to slight heating of neutrinos by electron/positron annihilations and finite-temperature QED effects. We show that this leads to changes in the predicted cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies that might be detected by future satellite experiments. NASA's MAP and ESA's PLANCK should be able to test the canonical prediction to a precision of 1% or better and could confirm these corrections.
