title: Bioengineering strategies to enhance synthetic circuits performances in mammalian cells
Creators: name: Pisani, Mara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2025

description: Synthetic biology enables the design and construction of genetic circuits for precise control of cellular functions. However, the efficiency of these circuits in mammalian cells is challenged by resource competition, which impacts cell performance and the predictability of gene expression.

 
This thesis investigates bioengineering strategies to enhance the performance of synthetic circuits in mammalian cells, focusing on two key objectives. First, we explored the design of resource-aware genetic constructs by evaluating the impact of various genetic components—promoters, Kozak sequences, and polyA signals—on cellular resource utilization. By co-transfecting mammalian cells with a capacity monitor, we quantified the resource load imposed by these constructs and identified designs that maximize expression while minimizing resource consumption.

 
Second, we leveraged computational tools to identify small molecules that enhance gene expression. Using the DECCODE algorithm, we analysed several compounds to select drugs that mimicked the resource optimization achieved by miRNA-based incoherent feedforward loops (iFFLs). The top candidates, including Filgotinib, demonstrated a significant increase in gene expression and protein production across diverse experimental setups. 
The findings of this thesis provide valuable insights into optimizing synthetic circuits for therapeutic and industrial applications, offering strategies a versatile tool for boosting the productivity of engineered cells.

description: We make use of interferometric CO and HI observations, and optical integral-field spectroscopy to probe the origin of the molecular and ionised interstellar medium (ISM) in local early-type galaxies (ETGs). We find that 36\pm5% of our sample of fast rotating ETGs have their ionised gas kinematically misaligned with respect to the stars, setting a strong lower limit on the importance of externally acquired gas (e.g. from mergers and cold accretion). Slow rotators have a flat distribution of misalignments, indicating that the dominant source of gas is external. The molecular, ionised and atomic gas in all the detected galaxies are always kinematically aligned, even when they are misaligned from the stars, suggesting that all these three phases of the ISM share a common origin. In addition, we find that the origin of the cold and warm gas in fast-rotating ETGs is strongly affected by environment, despite the molecular gas detection rate and mass fractions being fairly independent of group/cluster membership. Galaxies in dense groups and the Virgo cluster nearly always have their molecular gas kinematically aligned with the stellar kinematics, consistent with a purely internal origin. In the field, however, kinematic misalignments between the stellar and gaseous components indicate that >46% of local fast-rotating ETGs have their gas supplied from external sources. We discuss several scenarios which could explain the environmental dichotomy, but find it difficult to simultaneously explain the kinematic misalignment difference and the constant detection rate. Furthermore, our results suggest that galaxy mass may be an important independent factor associated with the origin of the gas, with the most massive fast-rotating galaxies in our sample (M_K8x10^10 Msun) always having kinematically aligned gas.

 Tomoxia succinea Bao, Walczyńska, Bojarski, Jarzembowski, Wang & Rust, 2018: 32. Holotype and paratype: Baltic amber.
 Comments on identification. The examination of figures and description of Tomoxia succinea provided by BAO et al. (2018) indicates that this species is not associated with the genus Tomoxia, because this placement is based on erroneous arguments and poor knowledge of the generic delimitations within the Mordellini. The diagnosis they provide is as follows: ‘Diagnosis (emended). The diagnostic characters for the genus Tomoxia when compared to the other members of the tribe Mordellini are: (1) eyes finely granulated; (2) scutellum quadrilateral or irregular shaped; (3) hind tibia with a fine dorsal ridge and a lateral ridge; basal tarsomere of hindleg also with a fine dorsal ridge (SMITH 1882, LILJEBLAD 1945, FRANCISCOLO 1965, JACKMAN & LU 2001).’ While points (1) and (2) do not provide any information relevant to the definition of the genus (e.g., eyes with small facets are present in all three genera included in the informal Tomoxia complex (HORÁK 2007) and in many other Mordellini), point (3) is incorrect per se because in Tomoxia, a dorsolateral ridge (dorsal ridge sensu BAO et al. 2018) is present on the metatibia, but absent on the first metatarsomere.According to the generic key to the Tomoxia complex provided by HORÁK (2007), the genus Tomoxia is defined as follows: ‘Hind tibiae besides preapical ridge with fine dorsolateral ridge. First tarsomere of posterior tarsus without dorsolateral ridge. Eyes very finely facetted, with interfacetal setae.’ In the description of eyes of Tomoxia succinea the authors stated those are ‘large, ellipsoidal, finely faceted and granulated, apparently not reaching occiput, hairy.’ This term likely indicates the presence of interfacetal setae, which are present in Tomoxia and Tomoxioda, but absent in Paratomoxioda. The combination of eyes with small facets covered with setae and presence of dorsolateral ridges on hind tibia and first metatarsomere conforms with the diagnosis of the genus Klapperichimorda Ermisch, 1968, which contains four Oriental species (ERMISCH 1968; HORÁK 1996, 2020).
 Because of the uncertain generic identity of the holotype and paratype of Tomoxia succinea, this species is transferred here into Baltimorda new collective group.

description: Effective supply chain management (SCM) has become a potentially valuable way of securing competitive advantage through enhancing operational and improving organizational performances since competition is no longer between organizations, but among supply chains. This research conceptualizes and develops five dimensions of SCM practice (strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship, level of information sharing, quality of information sharing, and internal lean practices) and tests the relationships between SCM practices, operational performance, and organizational performance. The data for the study was collected from 80 employees of Yes Natural Spring Water. The relationships proposed in the framework were tested using Pearson correlation, and the causal relations were analyzed using regression analysis. From the result of the analysis it is concluded that there is strong relationship between SCM practices, operational performance and organizational performance. Besides, SCM practices have an influence both on operational performance and organizational performance. On the other hand, operational performance has also an influence on organizational performance.

description: The formation of intrinsic defects by ionizing radiation in some ionic crystals in the anion sublattice is only associated with the instability of the self-trapped exciton up to now. In this paper we propose a new mechanism for the formation of the defects in the anion sublattice associated with the Janh-Teller instability occurring near the cation impurities in the excited state. The instability occurs when the degenerate excited state of the impurity ion is localized in the conduction band. We believe that the configuration interaction between the discrete impurity level and host continuum (effect Fano) plays an important role in this process.

description: We present a framework to interactively volume-render three-dimensional data cubes using distributed ray-casting and volume bricking over a cluster of workstations powered by one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) and a multi-core CPU. The main design target for this framework is to provide an in-core visualization solution able to provide three-dimensional interactive views of terabyte-sized data cubes. We tested the presented framework using a computing cluster comprising 64 nodes with a total of 128 GPUs. The framework proved to be scalable to render a 204 GB data cube with an average of 30 frames per second. Our performance analyses also compare between using NVIDIA Tesla 1060 and 2050 GPU architectures and the effect of increasing the visualization output resolution on the rendering performance. Although our initial focus, and the examples presented in this work, is volume rendering of spectral data cubes from radio astronomy, we contend that our approach has applicability to other disciplines where close to real-time volume rendering of terabyte-order 3D data sets is a requirement.

description: The ability of honeybees to successfully grow, reproduce and build strong colonies and produce honey depends on their ability to obtain enough resources from flowering plants within appropriate seasons. However, little is known about seasonal variations and characterisation of honeybee pollen collected in Ethiopia. Therefore, to address this, a total of 2160 pollen samples were collected from five districts in different seasons for two years. The pollen samples were acetolysed and taxonomically identified. The pollen type was classified into frequency categories based on its relative abundance. Diversity indices and species richness were also calculated and compared between districts and seasons. The highest species richness was recorded in Guraferda district, while the lowest was recorded in Godare district. The spring season was considered the most suitable as it has the highest richness in all districts. The ‘predominant’ and ‘secondary’ pollen sources were identified from different plant genera in Asteraceae (62.23%), Mimosaceae (23.59%), Myrtaceae (43.76%), Poaceae (27.25%), Rubiaceae (36.64%), Combretaceae (28.14%), Euphorbiaceae (18.97%), Burseraceae (16.35%), Convolvulaceae (16.52%), Solanaceae (21.40%), Icacinaceae (17.86%), and Dichapetalaceae (16.35%). Terminalia spp. (Combretaceae) had the highest pollen counts and are common in the area. Other species with significant pollen counts included Acacia spp. (Mimosaceae), Croton macrostachyus (Euphorbiaceae), Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Myrtaceae), Vernonia spp. (Asteraceae) and Iodes spp. (Icacinaceae). This study indicated that southwest Ethiopia has great potential for honey production and beekeeping business based on the study of pollen collected. Thus, these results help as a guide to the optimal use of flora resources by a honeybee in the areas.
Jamming of frictional spheres and random loose packing

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

description: The role of friction coefficient, $μ$, on the jamming properties of disordered, particle packings is studied using computer simulations. Compressed, soft-sphere packings are brought towards the jamming transition - the point where a packing loses mechanical stability - by decreasing the packing fraction. The values of the packing fraction at the jamming transition, $ϕ^μ_{c}$, gradually decrease from the random close packing point for zero friction, to a value coincident with random loose packing as the friction coefficient is increased over several orders of magnitude. This is accompanied by a decrease in the coordination number at the jamming transition, $z^μ_{c}$, which varies from approximately six to four with increasing friction. Universal power law scaling is observed in the pressure and coordination number as a function of distance from the generalised, friction-dependent jamming point. Various power laws are also reported between the $ϕ^μ_{\rm c}$, $z^μ_{\rm c}$, and $μ$. Dependence on preparation history of the packings is also investigated.

description: Allocation of leaf phosphorus (P) among different functional fractions represents a crucial adaptive strategy for optimizing P use. However, it remains challenging to monitor the variability of leaf P fractions and, ultimately, to understand P-use strategies across diverse plant communities.We explored relationships between five leaf P fractions (orthophosphate P, Pi; lipid P, PL; nucleic acid P, PN; metabolite P, PM; residual P, PR) and 11 leaf economic traits of 58 woody species from three biomes in China, including temperate, subtropical, and tropical forests. Then, we developed trait-based models and spectral models for leaf P fractions and compared their predictive ability.We found that plants exhibiting conservative strategies increased the proportions of PN and PM, but decreased the proportions of Pi and PL, thus enhancing photosynthetic P use efficiency, especially under P limitation. Spectral models outperformed trait-based models in predicting cross-site leaf P fractions, regardless of concentrations (R2=0.50-0.88 vs. 0.34-0.74) or proportions (R2=0.43-0.70 vs. 0.06-0.45).These findings enhance our understanding of leaf P-allocation strategies and highlight reflectance spectroscopy as a promising alternative for characterizing large-scale leaf P fractions and plant P-use strategies, which could ultimately improve physiological representation of plant P cycle in land surface models.

description: We report about the existence of magneto-acoustic pulses propagating in a 200-nm-thick ferromagnetic nickel film excited with 120 fs laser pulses. They result from the coupling between the magnetization of the ferromagnetic film and the longitudinal acoustic waves associated to the propagation of the lattice deformation induced by the femtosecond laser pulses. The magneto-acoustic pulses are detected from both the front and back sides of the film, using the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr technique, measuring both the time dependent rotation and ellipticity. We show that the propagating acoustic pulse couples efficiently to the magnetization and is strong enough to induce a precession of the magnetization. It is due to a transient change of the crystalline anisotropy associated to the lattice deformation. It is shown that the results can be interpreted by combining the concepts of acoustic pulse propagation and ultrafast magnetization dynamics.

description: We study properties of programs with monotone and convex constraints. We extend to these formalisms concepts and results from normal logic programming. They include the notions of strong and uniform equivalence with their characterizations, tight programs and Fages Lemma, program completion and loop formulas. Our results provide an abstract account of properties of some recent extensions of logic programming with aggregates, especially the formalism of lparse programs. They imply a method to compute stable models of lparse programs by means of off-the-shelf solvers of pseudo-boolean constraints, which is often much faster than the smodels system.

description: We represent planning as a set of loosely coupled network flow problems, where each network corresponds to one of the state variables in the planning domain. The network nodes correspond to the state variable values and the network arcs correspond to the value transitions. The planning problem is to find a path (a sequence of actions) in each network such that, when merged, they constitute a feasible plan. In this paper we present a number of integer programming formulations that model these loosely coupled networks with varying degrees of flexibility. Since merging may introduce exponentially many ordering constraints we implement a so-called branch-and-cut algorithm, in which these constraints are dynamically generated and added to the formulation when needed. Our results are very promising, they improve upon previous planning as integer programming approaches and lay the foundation for integer programming approaches for cost optimal planning.

description: We investigate the growth of connectivity in a network. In our model, starting with a set of disjoint nodes, links are added sequentially. Each link connects two nodes, and the connection rate governing this random process is proportional to the degrees of the two nodes. Interestingly, this network exhibits two abrupt transitions, both occurring at finite times. The first is a percolation transition in which a giant component, containing a finite fraction of all nodes, is born. The second is a condensation transition in which the entire system condenses into a single, fully connected, component. We derive the size distribution of connected components as well as the degree distribution, which is purely exponential throughout the evolution.

description: It is suspected that the ultraviolet (UV) upturn phenomenon in elliptical galaxies and extended horizontal-branch stars in globular clusters have a common origin. An extremely high abundance of helium (Y~0.4) allows for a working hypothesis, but its origin is unclear. Peng & Nagai (2009) proposed that primordial helium sedimentation in dark haloes over cosmic timescales may lead to extreme helium abundances in galaxy cluster centers. In this scenario UV upturn should be restricted to brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) only. This is a clear and testable prediction. We present tests of this hypothesis using galaxy clusters from Yoon et al. (2008) that were detected by both the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer Medium Imaging Survey. Using a new UV classification scheme based on far-UV, near-UV, and optical photometry we found only 5% of cluster elliptical galaxies show a UV upturn, while 27% and 68% are classified as "recent star-formation" and "UV-weak" ellipticals, respectively. The data reveal a modest positive dependence of the UV upturn fraction on galaxy velocity dispersion, which is in agreement with the earlier findings of Burstein et al. (1988) and possibly with the helium sedimentation theory. However, we do not see any dependency on rank or luminosity of galaxies. Besides, BCGs do not show any marked difference in UV upturn fraction or strength, which is inconsistent with the prediction. We conclude that the aforementioned helium sedimentation theory and its inferred environmental effects are not supported by the available data.

Not As Easy As It Seems: Automating the Construction of Lexical Chains Using Roget's Thesaurus
Creators: name: Jarmasz, Mario

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Morris and Hirst present a method of linking significant words that are about the same topic. The resulting lexical chains are a means of identifying cohesive regions in a text, with applications in many natural language processing tasks, including text summarization. The first lexical chains were constructed manually using Roget's International Thesaurus. Morris and Hirst wrote that automation would be straightforward given an electronic thesaurus. All applications so far have used WordNet to produce lexical chains, perhaps because adequate electronic versions of Roget's were not available until recently. We discuss the building of lexical chains using an electronic version of Roget's Thesaurus. We implement a variant of the original algorithm, and explain the necessary design decisions. We include a comparison with other implementations.

A Constraint Programming Approach for Solving a Queueing Control Problem

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In a facility with front room and back room operations, it is useful to switch workers between the rooms in order to cope with changing customer demand. Assuming stochastic customer arrival and service times, we seek a policy for switching workers such that the expected customer waiting time is minimized while the expected back room staffing is sufficient to perform all work. Three novel constraint programming models and several shaving procedures for these models are presented. Experimental results show that a model based on closed-form expressions together with a combination of shaving procedures is the most efficient. This model is able to find and prove optimal solutions for many problem instances within a reasonable run-time. Previously, the only available approach was a heuristic algorithm. Furthermore, a hybrid method combining the heuristic and the best constraint programming method is shown to perform as well as the heuristic in terms of solution quality over time, while achieving the same performance in terms of proving optimality as the pure constraint programming model. This is the first work of which we are aware that solves such queueing-based problems with constraint programming.

description: À Madagascar, l’ONG suisse Enfants du Monde (EdM) soutient des activités de santé maternelle et néonatale (SMN) du ministère de la santé (MS) par le biais de l’association Fianakaviana Sambatrafisa (FISA) et Terre Innovative Healthcare (TI) dans les hôpitaux publics d’Antananarivo Sud et d’Ambanja.

La situation de la santé maternelle et néonatale, déjà fragile à cause du contexte économique, est aggravée par les impacts des catastrophes climatiques. Les températures élevées, les inondations, la sècheresse et les tempêtes, ont des répercussions sur la santé des femmes enceintes, la mortalité maternelle et néonatale, et la santé mentale des mères. Parmi les conséquences inquiétantes, une augmentation de l’incidence du paludisme a un impact majeur sur les femmes enceintes, les fœtus et les nouveau-nés.

Analytic structure and power-series expansion of the Jost function for the two-dimensional problem

description: For a two-dimensional quantum mechanical problem, we obtain a generalized power-series expansion of the S-matrix that can be done near an arbitrary point on the Riemann surface of the energy, similarly to the standard effective range expansion. In order to do this, we consider the Jost-function and analytically factorize its momentum dependence that causes the Jost function to be a multi-valued function. The remaining single-valued function of the energy is then expanded in the power-series near an arbitrary point in the complex energy plane. A systematic and accurate procedure has been developed for calculating the expansion coefficients. This makes it possible to obtain a semi-analytic expression for the Jost-function (and therefore for the S-matrix) near an arbitrary point on the Riemann surface and use it, for example, to locate the spectral points (bound and resonant states) as the S-matrix poles. The method is applied to a model simlar to those used in the theory of quantum dots.

Exact analytic Gorkov-Ginzburg-Landau theory of type-II superconductivity in the magneto-quantum oscillations limit
Creators: name: Zhuravlev, V.
name: Maniv, T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new Green's function representation is employed in a microscopic derivation of a Ginzburg-Landau theory of strongly type superconductivity at high magnetic fields. An exact analytical, physically transparent expression for the quartic term in the corresponding order parameter expansion is presented. The resulting expression reveals singular non-local contributions to the superconducting (SC) free energy, associated with highly coherent cyclotron motions of the paired electrons near the Fermi surface, which are strongly coupled to the vortex lattice. A major part of these contributions arises from incoherent scattering by the spatially averaged pair-potential, which is purely harmonic in the de Haas van Alphen frequency. However, coherent scatterings by the ordered vortex lattice generate, at low temperatures, large erratically oscillating (i.e. paramagnetic-diamagnetic) contribution to the SC free energy as a function of the magnetic field. Vortex lattice disorder, which tends to suppress this oscillatory component, is found to preserve the singular harmonic part of the SC free energy.
