Proteomic Characterisation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Atherosclerosis
Creators: name: Full, Louise Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: During atherosclerosis, smooth muscle cells (SMC) migrate to the intima, losing their contractile ability and reacquiring characteristics seen during development: migration, proliferation, and synthesis of extracellular matrix – a process known as “phenotypic modulation”. I hypothesised that these phenotypic and functional characteristics indicate underlying differences in protein expression between intimal and medial SMC, which could constitute a characteristic signature indicative of the diseased state. I utilised 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and tandem mass spectrometry to compare the cytosolic proteome of the human SMC from atherosclerotic lesions with that of non-diseased SMC. Novel findings were validated by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. I detected decreases in contractile proteins and an increase in the oxidised form of peroxiredoxins in carotid atheroma-derived SMC - compared to non-diseased SMC. These changes indicate respectively loss of contractile features and exposure to oxidative stress, and are in accordance with the existing literature. I also identified significant decreases in the key mitochondrial proteins ATP synthase subunit-β and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 potentially linked to mitochondrial damage. More notably, I described for the first time that differences in expression of members of the annexin family distinguish SMC derived from stable atheroma and unstable atheroma. The antiinflammatory protein Annexin I was significantly up regulated in SMC derived from stable plaques. Annexin II, a protein involved in facilitating fibrinolysis, was significantly down regulated in SMC derived from unstable plaques. These novel findings suggest that the failure of anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic mechanisms provided by SMC might play a role in plaque instability. Finally, I investigated the effect of the exposure to pro-atherogenic factors -cholesterol and the proinflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) - on the proteome of SMC. With this, I was able to reproduce some of the features distinguishing atheroma-derived SMC, including the down regulation of contractile proteins and signs of mitochondrial damage. In addition I uncovered features of priming to challenge with TNFα in atheroma-derived SMC, potentially mediated by an increase of the p75 receptor. In contrast, cholesterol loading of SMC induced changes primarily in endoplasmic reticulum proteins, in line with current hypotheses in the literature of the activation of the Unfolded Protein Response – a protective mechanism engaged in conditions of endoplasmic reticulum stress. The proteome of SMC in advanced human atheroma has never been investigated before, particularly in the context of an unstable plaque. My data reveal an intricate relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage and down regulation of mechanisms of resolution of inflammation in SMC in the context of vascular disease and its complications.

description: A parametrized family of normal states on a von Neumann algebra is called a statistical experiment, which generalizes the corresponding concepts in classical statistics and finite-dimensional quantum systems. We introduce randomization preorder and equivalence relations for statistical experiments with a fixed parameter set and for normal channels with a fixed input space by post-processing completely positive channels. In this paper, we prove that the set of equivalence classes of statistical experiments or those of normal channels is an upper and lower directed-complete partially ordered set with respect to the randomization order, i.e. any increasing or decreasing net of statistical experiments or channels has its supremum or infimum in the randomization order. We also show that if the outcome space of each statistical experiment or channel of a randomization-monotone net is commutative, the outcome space of the supremum or infimum can also be taken to be commutative. We consider two examples of homogeneous Markov processes of channels on infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces, namely block-diagonalization with irrational translation and ideal quantum linear amplifier channels, and explicitly derive their infima. Throughout the paper, the concept of channel conjugation is used to obtain results for decreasing channels from those for increasing channels.

description: The Hamiltonian of a linearly driven two-level system, or qubit, in the standard rotating frame contains non-commuting terms that oscillate at twice the drive frequency, $ω$, rendering the task of analytically finding the qubit's time evolution nontrivial. The application of the rotating wave approximation (RWA), which is suitable only for drives whose amplitude, or envelope, $H_1(t)$, is small compared to $ω$ and varies slowly on the time scale of $1/ω$, yields a simple Hamiltonian that can be integrated relatively easily. We present a series of corrections to the RWA Hamiltonian in $1/ω$, resulting in an effective Hamiltonian whose time evolution is accurate also for time-dependent drive envelopes in the regime of strong driving, i.e., for $|H_1(t)| \lesssim ω$. By extending the Magnus expansion with the use of a Taylor series we introduce a method that we call the Magnus-Taylor expansion, which we use to derive a recurrence relation for computing the effective Hamiltonian. We then employ the same method to derive kick operators, which complete our theory for non-smooth drives. The time evolution generated by our kick operators and effective Hamiltonian, both of which depend explicitly on the envelope and its time derivatives, agrees with the exact time evolution at periodic points in time. For the leading Hamiltonian correction we obtain a term proportional to the first derivative of the envelope, which competes with the Bloch-Siegert shift.

description: We describe a finite analogue of the Poisson algebra of Wilson loops in Yang-Mills theory. It is shown that this algebra arises in an apparently completely different context; as a Lie algebra of vector fields on a non-commutative space. This suggests that non-commutative geometry plays a fundamental role in the manifestly gauge invariant formulation of Yang-Mills theory. We also construct the deformation of the loop algebra induced by quantization, in the large N_c limit.

Development of a Micro Recording Probe for Measurements of Neuronal Activity in Freely Moving Animals
Creators: name: Peterson, Kristopher David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: To discover general principles of biological sensorimotor control, insects have become remarkably successful model systems. In contrast to highly complex mammals, the functional organization of the insect nervous system in combination with a well-defined behavioural repertoire turned out to provide ideal conditions for quantitative studies into the neural control of behaviour. In addition, the search for biologically inspired control algorithms has further accelerated research into the neuronal mechanisms underlying flight and gaze stabilization, especially in blowflies. However, recording the neuronal activity in freely behaving insects, in particular in comparatively small insects such as blowflies, still imposes a major technical challenge. To date, electrophysiological recordings in unrestrained flies have never been achieved. This thesis describes the design and testing of a micro recording probe to be used for monitoring extracellular electrical activity in the nervous system of freely moving blowflies. In principle, this probe could also be used to study the neuronal control of behaviour in any other animal species the size of which is bigger than that of a blowfly. The nature of neuronal signals and the objective to record neuronal activity from behaving blowflies puts massive constraints on the specifications of the probe. I designed a differential amplifier with high gain, high linearity, low noise, and low power consumption. To fit the probe in the blowfly‟s head capsule and in direct contact with the animal‟s brain, the amplifier is on an unpackaged die. The neuronal signals are in the order of a few 100s of μV in amplitude. To be able to digitize such small signals >1000 times amplification is desirable. The small signal amplitudes also necessitate minimization of circuit noise. Linearity is necessary to prevent distortion of signal shape. Since connecting wires would impede movement of the animal, the probe would need to be powered by batteries. Therefore, low power is needed for two reasons: (i) to increase battery life, and therefore recording time, and (ii) because heat caused by power expenditure may damage the blowfly‟s brain or change its behaviour. To reduce power consumption I used CMOS transistors biased in the subthreshold region and a 2.2 V low power supply. The amplifier was characterized after fabrication by means of measuring its frequency response, linearity, and noise. I also recorded signals from a blowfly's brain and compared the performance of my recording probe with the performance of a high specification commercial amplifier in the time and frequency domains.

description: We study the vacuum functional for a system of p-branes interacting with Maxwell fields of higher rank. This system represents a generalization of the usual electrodynamics of point particles, with one essential difference: namely, that the world-history of a p-brane, due to the spatial extension of the object, may possess a physical boundary. Thus, the objective of this study is twofold: first, we wish to exploit the breaking of gauge invariance due to the presence of a physical boundary, in order to generate mass as an alternative to the Higgs mechanism; second, we wish to investigate how the new mechanism of mass generation is affected by the duality transformation between electric and magnetic branes. The whole analysis is performed by using the path-integral method, as opposed to the more conventional canonical approach. The advantage of the path integral formulation is that it enables us to Fourier transform the field strength directly, rather than the gauge potential. To our knowledge, this field strength formulation represents a new application of the path integral method, and leads, in a straightforward way, to the dual representation of the vacuum functional. We find that the effect of the dual transformation is essentially that of exchanging the role of the gauge fields defined respectively on the " bulk'' and "boundary" of the p-brane history.

WZW models of general simple groups

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

description: It is shown that a WZW model corresponding to a general simple group possesses in general different quantisations which are parametrised by $Hom(π_1(G),Hom(π_1(G),U(1)))$. The quantum theories are generically neither monodromy nor modular invariant, but all the modular invariant theories of Felder et.al. are contained among them. A formula for the transformation of the Sugawara expression for $L_0$ under conjugation with respect to non-contractible loops in $LG$ is derived. This formula is then used to analyse the monodromy properties of the various quantisations. It turns out that for $π_1(G)\cong \Zop_N$, with $N$ even, there are $2$ monodromy invariant theories, one of which is modular invariant, and for $π_1(G)\cong \Zop_2\times\Zop_2$ there are $8$ monodromy invariant theories, two of which are modular invariant. A few specific examples are worked out in detail to illustrate the results.

Single cell dielectrophoretic trapping for the analysis of cellular membrane dynamics
Creators: name: Gielen, Fabrice Matthieu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Cellular membrane dynamics has been subject to an ever-growing research interest since the introduction of the fluid mosaic model in the early seventies. The recognition that individual components of a cell membrane are able to diffuse in a two-dimensional matrix led to the crucial questioning of the structure-function relationship. The stunning diversity of lipid or proteins making up the plasma membrane of mammalian cells prevents theoretical treatment to apprehend membrane organization and dynamics. For this reason, membrane dynamics has remained up to now predominantly an experimental field of study. The presence of membrane micro-domains including lipid rafts and the co-existence of several phases has for instance been recently confirmed using single-molecule fluorescence detection methods. These domains as well as overall membrane fluidity are thought to be essential in many key cellular processes such as signal transduction, pathogen entry or trafficking. This thesis focuses on the development, characterization and applications of novel microfluidic tools for probing cellular plasma membrane structure and dynamics. We successfully demonstrated dielectrophoretic trapping of single mammalian cells (typically 10μm in diameter) as a means to facilitate time-resolved studies on living cell membranes for timescales of minutes. Firstly, microfluidic devices embedding micro-electrodes have been fabricated. These dielectrophoretic (DEP) traps were characterized to assess their potential as a tool for performing in-vitro membrane bio-assays. DEP traps have been subsequently used to trap single-cells near a defined surface and reagents were introduced via microfluidic channels. Incorporation of a Förster Resonance Energy transfer (FRET) acceptor dye within a donor labelled cellular membrane allowed for time-resolved observation of colocalization events using a scanning confocal microscope and fluorescence lifetime imaging. The presence of cholesterol was shown to influence probes localization. Such microfluidic devices coupled with high-resolution imaging of single cells can potentially be used to study the organization dynamics of individual molecules on the membrane of live cells.

Regeneration of the heart with gene and cell therapy

description: Cardiovascular disease is the largest cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialised world. Many patients with a longstanding history of coronary artery disease, multiple coronary interventions and a number of prior coronary events are no longer suitable for conventional revascularisation strategies and are often referred to as "no-option" patients. Despite intensive medical treatment, many present with clinical signs of heart failure and/or angina in the presence of underperfused, viable myocardium. I investigated two new strategies proposed to treat this patient population; angiogenesis induced by gene therapy in a pre-clinical model of myocardial ischaemia and regenerative therapy with autologous bone marrow derived putative stem cells in a Phase IIA pilot clinical trial. After establishing the ameroid porcine model of myocardial ischaemia, the efficacy of epicardially delivered Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 alpha (HIF-1) was assessed with adenovirus (AdHIF-1α) and two plasmid constructs. AdHIF-1α was found to significantly increase myocardial blood flow and left ventricular function in this model. In a further study electromechanical mapping of ischaemic territory and endocardial delivery with AdHIF-1α demonstrated similar trends. I present the first clinical trial to demonstrate the feasibility of retrograde coronary venous delivery of putative stem cells to the heart. The inclusion of 111-In oxide labelled cells demonstrated a sustained myocardial signal up to 21 days. Retention of cells within the myocardium is likely to be critical in allowing a biologically important paracrine function or stem cell differentiation. In the six-month follow-up, there were no major safety concerns, although only hypothesis generating efficacy endpoints were included, significant improvements were seen in Quality of life, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2). A positive correlation was seen with the number of CD34+ cells delivered and change in MVO2. Further randomised placebo controlled trials are required to elucidate further any perceived improvements in efficacy.

description: We study the momentum-space 4-point correlation function of identical scalar operators in conformal field theory. Working specifically with null momenta, we show that its imaginary part admits an expansion in conformal blocks. The blocks are polynomials in the cosine of the scattering angle, with degree $\ell$ corresponding to the spin of the intermediate operator. The coefficients of these polynomials are obtained in a closed-form expression for arbitrary spacetime dimension $d > 2$. If the scaling dimension of the intermediate operator is large, the conformal block reduces to a Gegenbauer polynomial $\mathcal{C}_\ell^{(d-2)/2}$. If on the contrary the scaling dimension saturates the unitarity bound, the block is different Gegenbauer polynomial $\mathcal{C}_\ell^{(d-3)/2}$. These results are then used as an inversion formula to compute OPE coefficients in a free theory example.

description: One of the major barriers that CMOS devices face at nanometer scale is increasing parameter variation due to manufacturing imperfections. Process variations severely inhibit the reliable operation of circuits, as the operational frequency at the nominal process corner is insufficient to suppress timing violations across the entire variability spectrum. To avoid variability-induced timing errors, previous efforts impose pessimistic and performance-degrading timing guardbands atop the operating frequency. In this work, we employ approximate computing principles and propose a circuit-agnostic automated framework for generating variability-aware approximate circuits that eliminate process-induced timing guardbands. Variability effects are accurately portrayed with the creation of variation-aware standard cell libraries, fully compatible with standard EDA tools. The underlying transistors are fully calibrated against industrial measurements from Intel 14nm FinFET in which both electrical characteristics of transistors and variability effects are accurately captured. In this work, we explore the design space of approximate variability-aware designs to automatically generate circuits of reduced variability and increased performance without the need for timing guardbands. Experimental results show that by introducing negligible functional error of merely $5.3\times 10^{-3}$, our variability-aware approximate circuits can be reliably operated under process variations without sacrificing the application performance.

description: Neural models are one of the most popular approaches for music generation, yet there aren't standard large datasets tailored for learning music directly from game data. To address this research gap, we introduce a novel dataset named NES-VMDB, containing 98,940 gameplay videos from 389 NES games, each paired with its original soundtrack in symbolic format (MIDI). NES-VMDB is built upon the Nintendo Entertainment System Music Database (NES-MDB), encompassing 5,278 music pieces from 397 NES games. Our approach involves collecting long-play videos for 389 games of the original dataset, slicing them into 15-second-long clips, and extracting the audio from each clip. Subsequently, we apply an audio fingerprinting algorithm (similar to Shazam) to automatically identify the corresponding piece in the NES-MDB dataset. Additionally, we introduce a baseline method based on the Controllable Music Transformer to generate NES music conditioned on gameplay clips. We evaluated this approach with objective metrics, and the results showed that the conditional CMT improves musical structural quality when compared to its unconditional counterpart. Moreover, we used a neural classifier to predict the game genre of the generated pieces. Results showed that the CMT generator can learn correlations between gameplay videos and game genres, but further research has to be conducted to achieve human-level performance.

description: We have used high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to study a thin film of NdNiO$_3$, a compound whose unusual spin- and bond-ordered electronic ground state has been of long-standing interest. Below the magnetic ordering temperature, we observe well-defined collective magnon excitations along different high-symmetry directions in momentum space. The magnetic spectra depend strongly on the incident photon energy, which we attribute to RIXS coupling to different local electronic configurations of the expanded and compressed NiO$_6$ octahedra in the bond-ordered state. Both the noncollinear magnetic ground state and the observed site-dependent magnon excitations are well described by a model that assumes strong competition between the antiferromagnetic superexchange and ferromagnetic double-exchange interactions. Our study provides direct insight into the magnetic dynamics and exchange interactions of the rare-earth nickelates, and demonstrates that RIXS can serve as a site-selective probe of magnetism in these and other materials.

description: Objective: To compare treatment patterns and Medicaid spending between schizophrenia patients initiating once-monthly paliperidone palmitate (PP1M) and oral atypical antipsychotics (OAAs) within four comorbid populations: cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Methods: Five-state Medicaid data identified comorbid adults with schizophrenia initiating PP1M or OAAs (index) from September 2009 balanced with inverse probability of treatment weighting. Chi-squared and t-tests compared index antipsychotic (AP) exposure (no gap >90 days) duration, AP polypharmacy, and index AP adherence (proportion of days covered ≥80%) and persistence (no gap ≥60 days) at 12 months post-index. Linear models with a non-parametric bootstrap procedure compared costs. Results: PP1M patients consistently had longer index AP exposure (e.g. CVD: 244 vs. 189 days; p p p p = .031). Persistence was consistently more likely for PP1M versus OAA patients (e.g. CVD: 49.9% vs. 27.4%; p p Conclusions: Treatment with PP1M versus OAAs may reduce AP polypharmacy and increase AP persistence in comorbid patients with schizophrenia, without increasing total healthcare costs. Comorbidities are a highly prevalent driver of excess mortality in this vulnerable population; thus, future studies should specifically address the real-world effectiveness of therapies, including long acting injectable therapies (LAIs), for these patients.

description: Growing areas under transgenic crops have created a concern over their possible adverse impact on the soil ecosystem. This study evaluated the effect of Bt-cotton based cropping systems on soil microbial and biochemical activities and their functional relationships with active soil carbon pools in Vertisols of central India (Nagpur, Maharastra, during 2012–2013). Culturable groups of soil microflora, enzymatic activities and active pools of soil carbon were measured under different Bt-cotton based cropping systems (e.g. cotton-soybean, cotton-redgram, cotton-wheat, cotton-vegetables and cotton-fallow). Significantly higher counts of soil heterotrophs (5.7–7.9 log cfu g−1 soil), aerobic N-fixer (3.9–5.4 log cfu g−1 soil) and P-solubilizer (2.5−3.0 log cfu g−1 soil) were recorded in Bt-cotton soils. Similarly, soil enzymatic activities, viz. dehydrogenase (16.6–22.67 µg TPF g−1 h−1), alkaline phosphatase (240–253 µg PNP g−1 h−1) and fluorescein di-acetate hydrolysis (14.6–18.0 µg fluorescein g−1 h−1), were significantly higher under Bt-cotton-soybean system than other Bt- and non-Bt-cotton based systems in all crop growth stages. The growth stage-wise order of soil microbiological activities were: boll development > harvest > vegetative stage. Significant correlations were observed between microbiological activities and active carbon pools in the rhizosphere soil. The findings indicated no adverse effect of Bt-cotton on soil biological properties.

Irreducible antifield formalism for reducible constrained Hamiltonian systems

description: Reducible constrained Hamiltonian systems are quantized accordingly an irreducible BRST manner. Our procedure is based on the construction of an irreducible theory which is physically equivalent with the original one. The equivalence between the two systems makes legitimate the substitution of the BRST quantization for the reducible theory by that of the irreducible system. The general formalism is illustrated in detail on a model involving abelian one- and two-form gauge fields.

Numerical method for the time-fractional porous medium equation

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This papers deals with a construction and convergence analysis of a finite difference scheme for solving time-fractional porous medium equation. The governing equation exhibits both nonlocal and nonlinear behaviour making the numerical computations challenging. Our strategy is to reduce the problem into a single one-dimensional Volterra integral equation for the self-similar solution and then to apply the discretization. The main difficulty arises due to the non-Lipschitzian behaviour of the equation's nonlinearity. By the analysis of the recurrence relation for the error we are able to prove that there exists a family of finite difference methods that is convergent for a large subset of the parameter space. We illustrate our results with a concrete example of a method based on the midpoint quadrature.
Parabose-Parafermi Supersymmetry

Year: 1995

description: The ($p=2$) parabose-parafermi supersymmetry is studied in general terms. It is shown that the algebraic structure of the ($p=2$) parastatistical dynamical variables allows for (symmetry) transformations which mix the parabose and parafermi coordinate variables. The example of a simple parabose-parafermi oscillator is discussed and its symmetries investigated. It turns out that this oscillator possesses two parabose- -parafermi supersymmetries. The combined set of generators of the symmetries forms the algebra of supersymmetric quantum mechanics supplemented with an additional central charge. In this sense there is no relation between the parabose-parafermi supersymmetry and the parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics. A precise definition of a quantum system involving this type of parabose- parafermi supersymmetry is offered, thus introducing ($p=2$) Supersymmetric Paraquantum Mechanics. The spectrum degeneracy structure of general ($p=2$) supersymmetric paraquantum mechanics is analyzed in detail. The energy eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the parabose-parafermi oscillator are then obtained explicitly. The latter confirms the validity of the results obtained for general supersymmetric paraquantum mechanics.
