Analysis of interferon-λ1 gene activation and function
Creators: name: Thomson, Scott John Peter
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The class II cytokine family consists of structurally homologous receptors and their ligands, including type I and type II interferons (IFNs), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-10 related factors, such as IL-24, IL-26 and IL-22. They exert a broad range of functions on the immune system, such as anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and immuno-regulatory effects. The recent sequencing and annotation of the human genome led to identification of several additional members of this cytokine family, including interferon-λ1 (or IL-29), λ2 (IL-28A) and λ3 (IL-28B). An understanding of the function and biological relevance of these novel class II cytokines is important to expand our knowledge of the immune system and to potentially open the door for new therapeutic possibilities. This thesis aimed to analyse how the expression of the human IFN-λ1 gene is regulated and what role this cytokine plays during acute and chronic inflammation. It revealed that the gene is rapidly and strongly induced in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells in response to LPS. Using a combination of RNA-interference and over-expression studies, it was found that this induction was strongly dependent on specific transcription factors of the NF-[kappa]B and Interferon Regulatory Factor (IRF) families, such as RelA and IRF3/7. Furthermore, gene reporter and bio-informatic analyses suggested that IRF3/7 activity is mediated via interactions with the proximal part of the IFN-λ1 promoter, whereas the majority of RelA activity is mediated via a distal cluster of putative NF-[kappa]B binding sites located between -1106 and -1901 nucleotides upstream of the gene. A combination of electrophoretic mobility shift assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed that RelA could efficiently bind to binding sites within this cluster. Interestingly, these distal NF-[kappa]B binding sites in the IFN-λ1 promoter are contained within transposable elements of Alu and LTR families, and the evolutionary significance of this is discussed. This thesis also shows that a specific chain of the IFN-λ1 receptor complex (IFN-λR1) is expressed in a cell-type specific manner, with primary human myeloid cells and synoviocytes derived from rheumatoid arthritis patients expressing only a modest level of the receptor. Consequently IFN-λ1 had limited effect on inflammatory cytokine production by these cells. The role of this restricted IFN system and its potential therapeutic benefits in inflammatory diseases will be discussed.

description: Expansions through the 24th order at high-temperature and up to 11th order at low-temperature are derived for the main observables of the Blume-Capel model on bipartite lattices (sq, sc and bcc) in 2d and 3d with various values of the spin and in presence of a magnetic field. All expansion coefficients are computed exactly as functions of the crystal and magnetic fields. Several critical properties of the model are analyzed in the two most studied cases of spin S=1 and S=3/2.

Observing and modelling the impact of arctic and tropical cirrus clouds on far-infrared radiance spectra
Creators: name: Humpage, Neil
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The work described in this thesis concerns the effect of cirrus clouds on far-infrared (FIR) radiance spectra. Though the importance of both FIR radiation and cirrus clouds to the Earth’s energy budget is well recognised, few high spectral resolution measurements have been made at FIR wavelengths to date. Observations taken during two diverse field campaigns, along with spectra simulated using a radiative transfer model, are used here to investi- gate the FIR signature of cirrus. The FIR observations presented are made using the TAFTS spectrometer, which measures spectral radiances from ei- ther an aircraft or the ground. The deployment of TAFTS during the RHUBC campaign based in Barrow, Alaska is described. TAFTS was used to make ground-based FIR observations of the arctic atmosphere, both with and without cirrus. Comparing these with modelled spectra, which assume a parameterised particle size distribution (PSD) when describing the cirrus microphysics, suggested that the PSD parameterisation underestimates the fraction of ice water content contributed by small ice crystals. This conclusion is corroborated by AERI-ER observations made simultaneously at the Barrow site during RHUBC. TAFTS observations of convective tropical cirrus made during EMERALD- II near Darwin, Australia are also presented here. During EMERALD-II TAFTS was deployed on an aircraft, enabling spectral measurements of cirrus at wavenumbers between 100 and 200cm−1 to be made for the first time. Comparisons with LBLDIS spectra calculated using PSDs measured using cloud probes indicate that the number of small crystals measured may be too high by a factor of three. This result is in agreement with previous studies suggesting that small crystal populations are over-counted by in-situ cloud probes, due to shattering of larger crystals on the probe inlets. The results from both campaigns illustrate the sensitivity of FIR radiances to cirrus properties, with particular emphasis on the effect of small ice crystals.

description: We map the quantum problem of a free bosonic field in a space-time dependent background into a classical problem. $N$ degrees of freedom of a real field in the quantum theory are mapped into $2N^2$ classical simple harmonic oscillators with specific initial conditions. We discuss how this classical-quantum correspondence (CQC) may be used to evaluate quantum radiation and fully treat the backreaction of quantum fields on classical backgrounds. The technique has widespread application, including to the quantum evaporation of classical breathers ("oscillons").

description: Ni-P coatings produced by electrodeposition have important mechanical, tribological and electrochemical properties. They can also exhibit catalytic activity and beneficial magnetic behaviour. With subsequent thermal treatment, the hardness of such Ni-P coatings can approach or exceed that of hard Cr coatings. Electrochemical codeposition of homogeneously dispersed second phase particles within the Ni-P matrix can enhance deposit properties and meet the challenging demands on modern engineering coatings. A general overview of research work on the electrodeposition of Ni-P composite coatings containing included ceramic or solid lubricant particles is provided. Advances in research into NieP composite layers reinforced by SiC, B4C, WC, Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, CeO2, MWCNT, MoS2, WS2, TiN, hexagonal BN, PTFE and their combinations are considered. Major models proposed for the codeposition of particles, the influence of bath hydrodynamics and control of operational parameters are illustrated by examples. Important trends are highlighted and opportunities for future R & D are summarised.

description: We discuss some issues about the holographic interpretation of the compact Randall-Sundrum model, which is conjectured to be dual to a 4d field theory with non-linearly realized conformal symmetry. We make several checks of this conjecture. In particular, we show that the radion couples conformally to a background 4d metric. We also discuss the interpretation of the Goldberger-Wise mechanism for stabilizing the radion. We consider situations where the electroweak breaking stabilizes the radion and we discuss the issue of natural conservation of flavor quantum numbers.

description: We introduce reinforcement learning for heterogeneous teams in which rewards for an agent are additively factored into local costs, stimuli unique to each agent, and global rewards, those shared by all agents in the domain. Motivating domains include coordination of varied robotic platforms, which incur different costs for the same action, but share an overall goal. We present two templates for learning in this setting with factored rewards: a generalization of Perkins' Monte Carlo exploring starts for POMDPs to canonical MPOMDPs, with a single policy mapping joint observations of all agents to joint actions (MCES-MP); and another with each agent individually mapping joint observations to their own action (MCES-FMP). We use probably approximately local optimal (PALO) bounds to analyze sample complexity, instantiating these templates to PALO learning. We promote sample efficiency by including a policy space pruning technique, and evaluate the approaches on three domains of heterogeneous agents demonstrating that MCES-FMP yields improved policies in less samples compared to MCES-MP and a previous benchmark.

description: We holographically investigate the renormalization group flow in a two-dimensional conformal field theory deformed by a relevant operator. If the relevant operator allows another fixed point, the UV conformal field theory smoothly flows to a new IR conformal field theory. From the holographic point of view, such a renormalization group flow can be realized as a dual geometry interpolating two different AdS boundaries. On this interpolating geometry, we investigate how the c-function of the entanglement entropy behaves along the RG flow analyt- ically and numerically, which reproduces the expected central charges of UV and IR. We also show that the c-function monotonically decreases from UV to IR without any phase transition.

We confirm claims made previously that the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen string near the monopole point fails to be a BPS state once next-to-leading corrections in the adjoint mass parameter taken into account. Our results shows that type I superconductivity arises upon monopole condensation. This conclusion allows us to make qualitative predictions on the structure of the hadron mass spectrum near the monopole point.

The role of metastability in enhancing water-oxidation activity
Creators: name: Vonrüti, Nathalie
name: Aschauer, Ulrich
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: While metastability enhanced water-oxidation activity was experimentally reported, the reason behind this effect is still unclear. We determine here, using density functional theory calculations, oxygen evolution reaction overpotentials for a variety of defective (001) surfaces of three different perovskite materials. For all three, we find a large range of overpotentials for different reaction sites including also overpotentials at the top of the activity volcano. Assuming that these sites dominate the apparent catalytic activity, this implies that a large number of geometrically different reaction sites, as they occur when a catalyst is operated at the border of its stability conditions, can lead to a strong enhancement of the apparent activity. This also implies that a pre-treatment of the catalyst creating a variety of different reactive sites could lead to superior catalytic activities for thermodynamically stable materials.

Target Space Duality between Simple Compact Lie Groups and Lie Algebras under the Hamiltonian Formalism: I. Remnants of Duality at the Classical Level

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: It has been suggested that a possible classical remnant of the phenomenon of target-space duality (T-duality) would be the equivalence of the classical string Hamiltonian systems. Given a simple compact Lie group $G$ with a bi-invariant metric and a generating function $Γ$ suggested in the physics literature, we follow the above line of thought and work out the canonical transformation $Φ$ generated by $Γ$ together with an $\Ad$-invariant metric and a B-field on the associated Lie algebra $\frak g$ of $G$ so that $G$ and $\frak g$ form a string target-space dual pair at the classical level under the Hamiltonian formalism. In this article, some general features of this Hamiltonian setting are discussed. We study properties of the canonical transformation $Φ$ including a careful analysis of its domain and image. The geometry of the T-dual structure on $\frak g$ is lightly touched.

description: Charmonium production from the hadron gas formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied. Using the $J/ψ$-hadron absorption cross section determined from the nonperturbative quark-exchange model, which has a peak value similar to that used in the comover model for $J/ψ$ suppression and a thermally averaged value consistent from that extracted from $J/ψ$ data in heavy-ion collisions, we find that $J/ψ$ production from the hadron gas is negligible in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC energies but is important at LHC energies as a result of the large number of charm mesons produced at higher energy collisions. The number of $J/ψ$ produced from these secondary collisions at LHC may be comparable to that of primary $J/ψ$'s, which are expected to be dissociated in the quark-gluon plasma created in the collisions, leading thus to a possible absence of $J/ψ$ suppression. Similar results are obtained for $ψ^\prime$ production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

description: We study the ground state energy of integrable $1+1$ quantum field theories with boundaries (the genuine Casimir effect). In the scalar case, this is done by introducing a new, ``R-channel TBA'', where the boundary is represented by a boundary state, and the thermodynamics involves evaluating scalar products of boundary states with all the states of the theory. In the non-scalar, sine-Gordon case, this is done by generalizing the method of Destri and De Vega. The two approaches are compared. Miscellaneous other results are obtained, in particular formulas for the overall normalization and scalar products of boundary states, exact partition functions for the critical Ising model in a boundary magnetic field, and also results for the energy, excited states and boundary S-matrix of $O(n)$ and minimal models.

description: We present a calculation of higher order effects for the impact parameter dependent probability for single and multiple electron-positron pairs in (peripheral) relativistic heavy ion collisions. Also total cross sections are given for SPS and RHIC energies. We make use of the expression derived recently by several groups where the summation of all higher orders can be done analytically in the high energy limit. An astonishing result is that the cross section, that is, integrating over all impact parameters, is found to be identical to the lowest-order Born result for symmetric collisions. For the probability itself on the other hand we find rather large effects at small impact parameters compared to the lowest order results, which translate to large effects for the cross section for multiple pair production.

description: Superconductivity is observed in a new nontoxic cuprate system Ga-Ba-Ca-Cu-O, with Tc = 82K for GaBa2Ca5Cu6O14+δ (Ga-1256) and Tc = 116K probably for GaBa2Ca3Cu4O10+δ (Ga-1234) or GaBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ (Ga-1223), respectively. All compounds are fabricated by solid state reaction method under high pressure and high temperature. Samples are characterized by resistivity, magnetization and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The temperature dependence of magnetization measured in both zero-field-cooled and field-cooled processes on one sample (S1) shows two superconducting transitions at about 82K and 113K. The estimated shielding fraction for the phase with Tc of 82K is about 67%, while the fraction for another phase with Tc of 113K is quite small. The XRD Rietveld refinement for S1 indicates two main phases existing in the sample, Ga-1256 with fraction of about 58% and non-superconducting Ca0.85CuO2 with fraction of about 42%, respectively. Thus, we can conclude the superconducting phase with transition temperature of 82K is due to Ga-1256. The resistivity measurement also confirms the superconductivity for S1, and the resistivity reaches zero at about 82K. The temperature dependence of magnetization for another sample (S2) shows much higher superconducting shielding fraction for the phase with Tc of 116K, which may be a promising prospective for the synthesis of Ga-1234 or Ga-1223 phase.

description: Computed Tomography (CT) imaging technique is widely used in geological exploration, medical diagnosis and other fields. In practice, however, the resolution of CT image is usually limited by scanning devices and great expense. Super resolution (SR) methods based on deep learning have achieved surprising performance in two-dimensional (2D) images. Unfortunately, there are few effective SR algorithms for three-dimensional (3D) images. In this paper, we proposed a novel network named as three-dimensional super resolution convolutional neural network (3DSRCNN) to realize voxel super resolution for CT images. To solve the practical problems in training process such as slow convergence of network training, insufficient memory, etc., we utilized adjustable learning rate, residual-learning, gradient clipping, momentum stochastic gradient descent (SGD) strategies to optimize training procedure. In addition, we have explored the empirical guidelines to set appropriate number of layers of network and how to use residual learning strategy. Additionally, previous learning-based algorithms need to separately train for different scale factors for reconstruction, yet our single model can complete the multi-scale SR. At last, our method has better performance in terms of PSNR, SSIM and efficiency compared with conventional methods.

EXTINCTION RISK AND POPULATION DECLINES IN AMPHIBIANS
Creators: name: Bielby, Jon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis is about understanding the processes that explain the patterns of extinction risk and declines that we see in amphibians, how we can use that understanding to set conservation priorities, and how we can convert those priorities into practical, hands-on research and management. In particular, I focus on the threat posed by the emerging infectious disease, chytridiomycosis, which is caused by the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Amphibians display a non-random pattern of extinction risk, both taxonomically and geographically. In chapter two I investigate the mechanism behind the observed taxonomic selectivity and find that it is due to species biology rather than heterogeneity in either threat intensity or conservation knowledge. In chapter three I determine which biological and environmental traits are important in rendering a species susceptible to declines, focussing on susceptibility to Bd. I found that restricted range, high elevation species with an aquatic life-stage are more likely to have suffered a decline. Using these traits, I predict species and locations that may be susceptible in the future, and which should therefore be a high priority for amphibian research and conservation.

description: Recent development of ultrashort laser pulses allows for optical control of structural and electronic properties of complex quantum materials. The layered transition metal dichalcogenide MoTe2, which can crystalize into several different structures with distinct topological and electronic properties, provides possibilities to control or switch between different phases. In this study we report a photo-induced sub-picosecond structural transition between the type-II Weyl semimetal phase and normal semimetal phase in bulk crystalline MoTe2 by using ultrafast pump-probe and time-resolved second harmonic generation spectroscopy. The phase transition is most clearly characterized by the dramatic change of the shear oscillation mode and the intensity loss of second harmonic generation. This work opens up new possibilities for ultrafast manipulation of the topological properties of solids, enabling potentially practical applications for topological switch device with ultrafast excitations.

description: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used for manufacturing products containing antibacterial agents, as well as food technologies such as edible films and food packaging. Routes of AgNPs exposure are principally derived by contacting with certain medical sprays, food, toothpaste, and purification products. Previously, we showed that AgNPs induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and promote apoptosis progression in SH-SY5Y cells; however, whether AgNP-induced ER stress is able to trigger autophagy in vivo and in vitro, and the role of autophagy in AgNP-induced cytotoxicity remain unclear. In the present study, we found that increased intracellular calcium (Ca2+) levels arising from AgNP-induced-ER stress resulted in activation of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β (CaMKKβ) and adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which downregulated the level of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and upregulated Beclin-1 to activate autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells. Specifically, inhibition of autophagy by the addition of chloroquine (CQ) or silencing of Beclin-1 significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of AgNPs, suggesting that autophagy plays a protective role in AgNP-induced cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we showed that oral administration of AgNPs for 28 continuous days induced ER stress-mediated apoptosis and autophagy in rats via activation of CaMKKβ and AMPK. In summary, this study is the first to report that AgNPs induce protective autophagy via a Ca2+/CaMKKβ/AMPK/mTOR pathway in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, public exposure to AgNPs should arouse concerns regarding environmental safety and human health.HighlightSilver nanoparticle-induced ER stress elicits protective autophagy via a Ca2+-dependent mechanism in SH-SY5Y cells.The Ca2+/CaMKKβ/AMPK/mTOR pathway is involved in autophagy.Orally administered silver nanoparticles induce ER stress-mediated autophagy and apoptosis in rats.

description: With more people living in cities, we are witnessing a decline in exposure to nature. A growing body of research has demonstrated an association between nature contact and improved mood. Here, we used Twitter and the Hedonometer, a world analysis tool, to investigate how sentiment, or the estimated happiness of the words people write, varied before, during, and after visits to San Francisco's urban park system. We found that sentiment was substantially higher during park visits and remained elevated for several hours following the visit. Leveraging differences in vegetative cover across park types, we explored how different types of outdoor public spaces may contribute to subjective well-being. Tweets during visits to Regional Parks, which are greener and have greater vegetative cover, exhibited larger increases in sentiment than tweets during visits to Civic Plazas and Squares. Finally, we analyzed word frequencies to explore several mechanisms theorized to link nature exposure with mental and cognitive benefits. Negation words such as 'no', 'not', and 'don't' decreased in frequency during visits to urban parks. These results can be used by urban planners and public health officials to better target nature contact recommendations for growing urban populations.

description: We introduce the notion of fault-tolerant quantum metrology to overcome noise beyond our control -- associated with sensing the parameter, by reducing the noise in operations under our control -- associated with preparing and measuring probes and ancillae. To that end, we introduce noise thresholds to quantify the noise resilience of parameter estimation schemes. We demonstrate improved noise thresholds over the non-fault-tolerant schemes. We use quantum Reed-Muller codes to retrieve more information about a single phase parameter being estimated in the presence of full-rank Pauli noise. Using only error detection, as opposed to error correction, allows us to retrieve higher thresholds. We show that better devices, which can be engineered, can enable us to counter larger noise in the field beyond our control. Further improvements in fault-tolerant quantum metrology could be achieved by optimising in tandem parameter-specific estimation schemes and transversal quantum error correcting codes.
