description: When an alien species is introduced in a new area, the new population may be genetically and phenotypically different from the parent population because of the population bottleneck, increased inbreeding rate and adaptation to the new environment. In this study we investigated the variation in shape and size of the mandible among and within three populations of the invasive Pallas’s squirrel introduced in Italy, Belgium and France. Significant differences in both size and shape of the mandible were found among all population pairs, with France being the most distinct. French squirrels showed a larger and slenderer mandible with a broad angular process, a restricted condyle, and a backward-oriented coronoid process. The Italian and the Belgian population also differed significantly but to a lesser extent, the Italian squirrels having a lower coronoid process, a broader angular apophysis, and a restricted condyle. Size explained 15% of the total shape variation, but the slope of allometric trajectories did not reveal any significant difference among populations. A significantly high fluctuating and directional asymmetries were found respectively in the French and the Italian squirrels. Results are discussed in terms of different selective pressures in the invaded areas and possible effects of developmental instability.

Unsteady aerodynamics, reduced-order modelling, and predictive control in linear and nonlinear aeroelasticity with arbitrary kinematics
Creators: name: Simpson, Robert J. S.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis concerns the development of computational methods for efficient flexible-aircraft flight dynamics analyses. An argument is made for a hierarchy of methods that provide predictive capability for loads and stability analyses, and the ability to create low-order dynamic models for control system synthesis. The proposed aeroelastic models are formulated using three-dimensional unsteady aerodynamics in the form of an unsteady vortex-lattice method developed to model the relatively complex kinematics inherent in flexible-aircraft dynamics, and in particular the unsteady induced drag. No assumptions are made relating to the kine- matics of the fluid-structure interface (inputs) and use of the three-dimensional Joukowski relation naturally resolves all components of the unsteady aerodynamic forcing (outputs). A consistent linearization of this method about an arbitrary reference state yields nondimen- sional (independent of free-stream dynamic pressure) discrete-time state-space models that resolve frequencies up to a spatio-temporal Nyquist limit defined by the wake discretization, and have a convenient form for coupling with structural dynamics models. Aircraft structural components are modelled using a geometrically-exact composite beam formulation, and, additionally, in the case of linear dynamics, a generic modal description. The latter allows the linear aerodynamics to be expressed in a reduced set of inputs and outputs, thus obtaining a time-domain alternative to the classical frequency-domain-based doublet-lattice method. The models modified for these modal degrees-of-freedom are shown to be amenable to balanced realization and truncation, and are verified in flutter analyses where only 10-100 balanced states are required (compared to 1000-10,000 physical states) for converged results. Finally, predictive controllers and linear-quadratic regulators are synthesized using reduced-order aeroelastic models, and are applied in nonlinear simulations for gust-load alleviation.

description: Whatever the ultimate energy source of gamma-ray bursts turns out to be, the resulting sequence of physical events is likely to lead to a fairly generic, almost unavoidable scenario: a relativistic fireball that dissipates its energy after it has become optically thin. This is expected both for cosmological and halo distances. Here we explore the observational motivation of this scenario, and the consequences of the resulting models for the photon production in different wavebands, the energetics and the time structure of classical gamma-ray bursters.

description: Injection and localization of software faults have been extensively researched, but the results are not directly transferable to embedded systems. The domain-specific constraints applying to these systems, such as limited resources and the predominant C/C++ programming languages, require a specific set of injection and localization techniques. In this thesis, we have assessed existing approaches and have contributed a set of novel methods for software fault injection and localization in embedded systems. We have developed a method based on AspectC++ for the injection of errors at interfaces and a method based on Clang for the accurate injection of software faults directly into source code. Both approaches work particularly well in the context of embedded systems, because they do not require runtime support and modify binaries only when necessary. Nevertheless, they are suitable to inject software faults and errors into the software of other domains. These contributions required a thorough assessment of fault injection techniques and fault models presented in literature over the years, which raised multiple questions regarding their validity in the context of C/C++. We found that macros (particularly header files), compile-time language constructs, and the commonly used optimization levels introduce a non-negligible bias to experimental results achieved by injection methods operating on any other layer than the source code. Additionally, we found that the textual specification of fault models is prone to ambiguities and misunderstandings. We have conceived an automatic fault classifier to solve this problem in a field study. Regarding software fault localization, we have combined existing methods making use of program spectra and assertions, and have contributed a new oracle type for autonomous localization of software faults in the field. Our evaluation shows that this approach works particularly well in the context of embedded systems because the generated information can be processed in real-time and, therefore, it can run in an unsupervised manner. Concluding, we assessed a variety of injection and localization approaches in the context of embedded systems and contributed novel methods where applicable improving the current state-of-the-art. Our results also point out weaknesses regarding the general validity of the majority of previous injection experiments in C/C++.

Change of the profile shape as a function of phase turn of the disk with a bright spot on the surface is analysed. A possibility of a unambiguous determination of the disk and spot parameters is considered, the accuracy of their determination is estimated. The results of calculations show that the analysis of spectra obtained at different phases of the orbital period gives a possibility of estimating the basic parameters of the spot (such as geometric size and luminosity) and to investigate the structure of the accretion disk.

ROTATION CURVES OF 967 SPIRAL GALAXIES

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present the rotation curves (RCs) of 967 spiral galaxies, obtained by folding and deprojecting the raw optical data by Mathewson et al. (1992). Out of these, we have identified 80 excellent RCs and 820 fair RCs. The 80 excellent RCs are smooth, symmetric, have negligible rms internal error, extend to at least the optical radius, and have high and homogeneus radial data coverage; they rival with the best optical one-slit RCs available in the literature and are ideally suited for detailed mass structure modelling. The 820 fair RCs do not meet at least one of the above criteria and hence are not suitable for direct mass modelling; however, they constitute a large database for methods aiming to recover statistical properties of DM. For these 900 RCs we also present, in figures and tables, the rotation curves smoothed on scales corresponding to 5%-20% of the optical size. By size, homogeneity, intrinsic quality, and spanned range of luminosities and asymptotic velocities, this sample constitutes by far the best sample of RCs available to date. As such, it will offer a unique opportunity for investigating in considerable depth the properties of DM in galaxies. The the deprojected folded curves, the smoothed curves, and various related quantities are available via anonymous ftp at galileo.sissa.it in the directory /users/ftp/pub/psrot.

description: Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a paradigm shift in this era for determining the exposure of drugs in pediatrics, geriatrics, and patients with chronic diseases where clinical trials are difficult to conduct. This review has collated data regarding published PBPK models on chronic kidney disease (CKD), including the drug and system-specific input model parameters and model evaluation criteria. Four databases were used from 13th June 2023 to 10th July 2023 for identifying the relevant studies that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Alterations in plasma protein (albumin/alpha-1 acid glycoprotein), gastric emptying time, hematocrit, small intestinal transit time, the abundance of cytochrome (CYP) 450 enzymes, glomerular filtration rate, and physicochemical parameters for different drugs were explicitly elaborated from earlier reported studies. Moreover, model evaluation depicted that models in CKD for most of the included drugs were within the allowed two-fold error range. This review will provide insights for researchers on applying PBPK models in managing patients with different levels of CKD to prevent undesirable side effects and increase the effectiveness of drug therapy.

description: Precast
concrete segmental columns have been popularly adopted in constructions.
However, its behavior under dynamic loading especially under impact loading has
not been studied yet. This paper investigates the performance of prefabricated
segmental columns under impact loads. Precast segmental columns with
posttensioning tendon were constructed and tested in laboratory using pendulum
impact system. Two segmental columns of the same height but with different
number of segment pillars were designed and tested. A conventional monolithic
reinforced concrete column was also tested as a reference column to evaluate
the performance of the tested segmental columns. The responses of the tested
columns were monitored with a high-speed camera. The impact load time history
and column displacement time histories were recorded. The test results
indicated that comparing to the monolithic column, the segmental columns
attracted lower peak impact loads but longer loading duration due to their
flexibility. The tested segmental columns also showed better performance
against impact load with better self-centring capability, similar energy
dissipation capability but less residual displacement and concrete damage.

description: Using precast segmental concrete columns in structures
 improves the construction efficiency and site safety, leads to better
 construction quality, and reduces the construction cost, site disruption and
 environmental impact. The performance of segmental columns to resist
 earthquake and impact loads is not well studied yet. As a structure might be
 subjected to such loads during its service life, understanding its resistance
 capacities is essential for structural safety. This paper reports the
 findings of our recent studies on the response of precast segmental columns
 with unbonded prestress tendon. Pendulum impact test and uniaxial cyclic test
 were conducted on quarter-scale segmental columns. The seismic performance
 and impact-resistant capacity were evaluated experimentally and compared with
 conventional monolithic column. Test results showed that under cyclic loading
 segmental columns exhibited better deformation ability and smaller residual
 drift; under impact loading segmental columns also showed better
 self-centring capacity and less residual displacement.

description: International communication and global cooperation have greatly accelerated the worldwide spread of dengue fever, increasing the impact of imported cases on dengue outbreaks in non-naturally endemic areas. Existing studies mostly focus on describing the quantitative relationship between imported cases and local transmission but ignore the space-time diffusion mode of imported cases under the influence of individual mobility. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive framework at a fine scale to establish the disease transmission network and a mathematical model, which constructs ‘source-sink’ links between the imported and indigenous cases on a regular grid with a spatial resolution of 1 km to explore the diffusion pattern and spatiotemporal heterogeneity of imported cases. An application to Guangzhou, China, reveals the main flow and transmission path of imported cases under the influence of human movement and identifies the spatiotemporal distribution of transmission speed according to the time lag of each source-sink link. In addition, we demonstrate that using individual-based movement data and socio-economic factors to study human mobility and imported cases can help to understand the driving forces of dengue spread. Our research provides a comprehensive framework for the analysis of early dengue transmission patterns with benefits to similar urban applications.
Towards increasing the efficiency of Rubisco, through the use of carbonic anhydrase mimetics
Creators: name: O'Donnelly, Kerry
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Increasing photosynthetic efficiency remains one of the few routes left for substantial increases in crop yields. Rubisco, the enzyme responsible for fixating carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, is one of the major bottlenecks of photosynthesis. Some organisms have evolved carbon concentrating mechanisms, utilising carbonic anhydrase, to increase photosynthetic efficiency, by increasing local CO2 concentrations around Rubisco. This project aims to chemically mimic the role of carbonic anhydrase, through the use of small metal-ligand complexes, and to test their ability to perturb Rubisco’s activity. In order to achieve this goal, Rubisco had to be first isolated, and a robust Rubisco assay developed, to screen the efficacy of the CA mimetics. A hydrophobic interaction chromatography protocol for the isolation of Rubisco was developed, which eliminated the requirement of salt removal before column chromatography, reducing the number of purification steps in comparison to existing methods. The rapid protocol was employed to obtain highly pure and highly active Rubisco from Spinacia oleracea and Brassica oleracea. Furthermore, the protocol revealed, for the first time, the presence of hydrophobically distinct populations of Rubisco. A fast and sensitive 384-well plate Rubisco enzymatic assay was also developed, providing a robust platform to screen and test the efficacy of the carbonic anhydrase mimetics on Rubisco’s activity. A suite of existing and novel carbonic anhydrase mimetics were synthesised. A comparison of the pH-dependant CO2/HCO3- catalytic rates revealed a number of insights into the parameters that promote high interconversion rates of HCO3- to CO2: i) high electron-donating ligands, and hydrophobic ligands for ‘substrate channelling’ increased HCO3- dehydration rates, ii) higher pKa values for Zn-OH2, favoured the interconversion of HCO3- to CO2, iii) Zn(II) was shown to have the highest catalytic rate for HCO3- dehydration, which was attributed to the weaker binding of HCO3- to Zn(II) than to Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II). Additionally, this thesis provides the first proof of concept data for the use of chemical tools that could help towards mitigating the loss of Rubisco’s inefficiencies. Zn(II) mimetics were shown to alter Rubisco’s activity, which was attributed to a change in local CO2 concentrations, following the addition of the mimetics.
Electron acceleration in SNR and diffuse gamma-rays above 1 GeV

Year: 1998

description: The recently observed X-ray synchrotron emission from four supernova remnants (SNR) has strengthened the evidence that cosmic ray electrons are accelerated in SNR. We show, that if this is indeed the case, the local electron spectrum will be strongly time-dependent, at least above roughly 30 GeV. The time dependence stems from the Poisson fluctuations in the number of SNR within a certain volume and within a certain time interval. As far as cosmic ray electrons are concerned, the Galaxy looks like actively bubbling swiss cheese rather than a steady, homogeneously filled system. Our finding has important consequences for studies of the Galactic diffuse gamma-ray emission, for which a strong excess over model predictions above 1 GeV has been reported recently. While these models were relying on an electron injection spectrum with index 2.4 -- chosen to fit the local electron flux up to 1 TeV -- we show that an electron injection index of around 2.0 would a) be consistent with the expected Poisson fluctuations in the locally observable electron spectrum and b) explain the above mentioned gamma-ray excess above 1 GeV. An electron injection index around 2 would also correspond to the average radio synchrotron spectrum of individual SNR. We use a three-dimensional propagation code to calculate the spectra of electrons throughout the Galaxy and show that the longitude and latitude distribution of the leptonic gamma-ray production above 1 GeV is in accord with the respective distributions for the gamma-ray excess. We finally point out that our model implies a strong systematic uncertainty in the determination of the spectrum of the extragalactic gamma-ray background.

description: Quantification of the isotope altitude effect from precipitation allows to identify recharge altitudes in high-relief areas. However, steep terrains frequently limit the possibility of this precipitation-based approach. Perennial rivers often provide easy, year-round access for water sampling. However, in high-relief regions rivers may not adequately represent regional precipitation isotope patterns because they integrate isotope signals along their course. This prevents the calculation of an altitudinal isotope gradient from river water samples alone. We present a study that shows how a river-based sampling approach served to determine the altitude effect. Replacing the original sample site altitude by the mean upstream catchment elevation as calculated from a digital elevation model allowed to establish a plausible altitude isotope effect from stream water. The correction approach was verified independently by precipitation isotope data. This approach can potentially be transferred to other regions where precipitation sampling at various elevations is difficult to realize.

description: We analyse the X-ray surface brightness profiles of 19 moderately distant and luminous clusters of galaxies observed with the \EINOBS. Our aim is to determine cluster gas masses out to radii between 1 and $3\Mpc$, and to confirm the apparent conflict, if $Ω_0=1$, between the current calculations of the mean baryon fraction of the Universe expected from standard primordial nucleosynthesis, and the fraction of the mass in clusters which is in gas. Our analysis shows that baryon overdensities in clusters are much more widespread than only the Coma cluster with which S.~White \& Frenk originally highlighted this problem. The uncertainties involved in our analysis and some cosmological implications from our results are briefly discussed. For a refined sample of 13 clusters we find that the baryon fraction for the gas within $1\Mpc$ lies between 10 and 22 per cent.

[C-11] carbon disulfide: a versatile radiolabelling reagent for the development of PET tracers
Creators: name: Haywood, Thomas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis is concerned with the development and implementation of 11C carbon disulfide as a method of radiolabelling molecules to form radiotracers for application in positron emission tomography (PET). The development of the synthetic route to [11C] carbon disulfide is described. The preferred synthesis method for the main body of this work was to pass [11C] methyl iodide over sulfur at high temperature. Other methods of [11C] carbon disulfide production were also explored including synthesis from [11C] methane and also direct synthesis in the cyclotron target. Following the improved and robust synthesis of [11C] carbon disulfide a series of radiolabelled thiourea compounds were synthesised from the reaction of [11C] carbon disulfide and amines. This thiourea production method was further developed into the synthesis of 2 potential radiotracers. The progestin inhibitor tanaproget, and the CXCR4 inhibitors IT1a and IT1t which are still undergoing synthetic development. As well as [11C] carbon disulfide, [11C] ammonium thiocyanate was also explored as a potential [11C] radiolabelling reagent, with interest paid to its nucleophilic properties. Ammonium thiocyanate formed from the reaction of carbon disulfide with ammonia in solution. A series of [11C] phenacyl thiocyanate compounds were synthesised from the reaction of [11C] ammonium thiocyanate and acetophenone precursors. These [11C] radiolabelled phenacyl thiocyanates were reacted on to form a series of analogous radiolabelled thiazole compounds. Once a more comprehensive understanding of the chemistry surrounding [11C] carbon disulfide had been established, a series of experiments were carried out in order to trap [11C] carbon disulfide on a cooled microfluidic device (MFD) before passing a droplet of precursor along the reaction channel of the MFD to react with the trapped [11C] carbon disulfide, forming the desired product, in this case monocyclohexyldithiocarbamate cyclohexylammonium salt. The final chapter, while not directly related to PET applications investigates the use of microfluidic and ow systems for the homogeneous and heterogeneous hydrogenation of a range of alkanes. The hydrogenation of styrene to ethylbenzene was used as a model reaction of the testing of various experimental set-ups including stopped ow, and continuous flow in a range of flow systems. During annular ow experiments in a microfluidic device the deposition of a rhodium deposit was also collected and analysed for its catalytic properties.

On the stability of motion of N-body systems: the effect of the variation of particle number, softening and rotation

description: Using the Ricci and scalar curvatures of the configuration manifold of gravitational N-body systems, we study the exponential instability in their trajectories. It is found that the exponentiation time-scale for isotropic Plummer spheres varies very little with particle number if the softening is small. Large softening on the other hand has a marked effect and, if large enough, can cause the curvatures to become positive. This last result confirms the previous observations for self gravitating sheets and suggests that the qualitative behaviour of large-N and continuum systems may be different, and that their equivalence is only obtained in the limit of infinite $N$ and finite softening. It is also found that the presence of a large fraction of the kinetic energy in rotational motion increases the exponentiation time-scales significantly --- an effect that should be expected given the regular nature of nearly circular motion. In the light of the results of this and of previous studies, it is suggested that the exponential instability may arise from low order resonances between the period of the variation of the gravitational field due to distant encounters and the orbital period of a test particle. For periods long compared to the exponentiation time but short compared to the diffusion time-scales of the action variables, the standard picture of collisionless dynamics may be valid in an averaged sense. Instead it is suggested that, at least for systems with well defined final states, the relaxation time should scale as $\sim N^{1/2}$.

description: We construct analytical phase-space solutions for perturbations of flat disks by performing a power series expansion for the radius and the velocity coordinates. We show that this approach translates into an elegant mathematical formulation which is easy to use for a wide variety of distribution functions, for as far as resonances do not play a role, such as is the case for potentials which are close to quadratic. As a testcase, the method is applied on the Kalnajs disks. The results obtained are in full agreement with the analytical solutions of the mode analysis. The strongest advantages of this method are its independence of the mathematical complexity of the unperturbed distribution, the degree of detail with which the solutions can be calculated and its computational straightforwardness. On the contrary, power series solutions are not suitable for describing regions where resonant orbits occur, which we therefore exclude in this paper. We used the technique to analyse perturbations in the central regions of a galaxy, tracking the dynamical consequences of a Galactic bar on the kinematics of the solar neighbourhood (Hipparcos). We showed how the orientation and strength of the bar is related to the properties of the velocity ellipsoid in our model.

AN IMAGING K-BAND SURVEY - II: THE REDSHIFT SURVEY AND GALAXY EVOLUTION IN THE INFRARED

description: We present a redshift survey of 124 galaxies, from an imaging $K$-band survey complete to $K\simeq 17.3$. The optical-to-infrared colours are consistent with the range expected from synthetic galaxy spectra, although there are some cases of very red nuclei. Our data show no evidence for evolution of the $K$-band luminosity function at $z<0.5$, and the results are well described by a Schechter function with $M_K^*=-22.75\pm0.13+5\log_{10}h$ and $ϕ^*=0.026\pm0.003 h^3 {\rm Mpc^{-3}}$. This is a somewhat higher normalization than has been found by previous workers, and it removes much of the excess in faint $K$ and $B$ counts with respect to a no-evolution model. However, we do find evidence for evolution at $z>0.5$: $M_K^*$ is approximately 0.75 mag. brighter at $z=1$. This luminosity evolution is balanced by a reduced normalization at high redshift. The overall evolution is thus opposite to that expected in simple merger-dominated models.
