description: Ischaemic heart disease represents a restriction of blood, and therefore oxygen, supply to the myocardium. This leads to a remodelling of cardiac metabolism, which can exacerbate production of damaging reactive oxygen species and tissue necrosis upon reperfusion. In a different paradigm of metabolic disease, the type-1 diabetic heart becomes more dependent upon the oxidation of fatty acids (FAO) for ATP synthesis due to an inability to regulate blood glucose concentration. The work presented in this thesis aimed to further our understanding of substrate selection and metabolism in the ischaemic and type-1 diabetic hearts. A mathematical network model for tracing universally-13C labelled metabolic substrates through the Krebs cycle using mass spectrometry was developed and presented. Experimentally-observed isotopologue distributions of Krebs cycle intermediates and proxies were interpreted using this model to determine the percentage of acetyl-CoA oxidised in the Krebs cycle which originated from the U-13C labelled substrate. In the Langendorff perfused rat heart, perfusion with intralipid resulted in greater functional recovery following ischaemia/reperfusion. Supplementation with dietary nitrate ablated this cardioprotective effect, but this highlights the importance of fatty acid oxidation to recovery from ischaemia/reperfusion injury. Ketogenesis was found to occur in the ischaemic heart, and was not specifically dependent upon either fatty acid or glucose oxidation. Its inhibition resulted in improved recovery of contractile function following ischaemia/reperfusion, suggesting the ketogenesis which occurs during cardiac ischaemia is a detrimental process. Isoprenaline administration conserved mitochondrial respiratory capacity and energetics in the type-1 diabetic rat heart. 10 weeks following removal of 90% of the pancreas (Px), mitochondrial respiratory capacity was impaired, with a substrate switch towards fatty acid oxidation (FAO) observed alongside greater expression of FAO-related enzymes and evidence of oxidative stress. Isoprenaline administration also impaired respiratory capacity, but enhanced flux through glycolysis. In the hearts of isoprenaline treated Px rats, mitochondrial respiratory capacity and energetics were conserved. In conclusion, cardiac ischaemia and type-1 diabetes both represent diseases where metabolic substrate oxidation is perturbed. FAO is not detrimental to the ischaemic or type-1 diabetic heart without associated loss of metabolic flexibility, and even appears beneficial to recovery following ischaemia/reperfusion.

description: The detection of primary scintillation light in combination with the charge or secondary scintillation signals is an efficient technique to determine the events t=0 as well as particle / photon separation in large mass TPC detectors filled with noble gases and/or condensed noble gases. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that costly photo-multipliers could be replaced by cheap novel photosensitive gaseous detectors: wire counters, GEMs or glass capillary tubes coupled with CsI photocathodes. We have performed systematic measurements with Ar, Kr and Xe gas at pressures in the range of 1-50 atm as well as some preliminary measurements with liquid Xe and liquid Ar. With the gaseous detectors we succeeded in detecting scintillation light produced by 22 keV X-rays with an efficiency of close to 100%. We also detected the scintillation light produced by bs (5 keV deposit energy) with an efficiency close to 25%. Successful detection of scintillation from 22 keV gammas open new experimental possibilities not only for nTOF and ICARUS experiments, but also in others, like WIMPs search through nuclear recoil emission.

description: The electronic stopping power of nickel-based equiatomic solid solutions alloys NiCr, NiFe and NiCo for protons and alpha projectiles is investigated in detail using real-time time-dependent density functional theory over a wide range of velocities. Recently developed numerical electronic structure methods are used to probe fundamental aspects of electron-ion coupling non-perturbatively and in a fully atomistic context, capturing the effect of the atomic scale disorder. The effects of particular electronic band structures and density of states reflect in the low velocity limit behavior. We compare our results for the alloys with those of a pure nickel target to understand how alloying affects the electronic stopping. We discover that NiCo and NiFe have similar stopping behavior as Ni while NiCr has an asymptotic stopping power that is more than a factor of two larger than its counterparts for velocities below 0.1 a.u.. We show that the low-velocity limit of electronic stopping power can be manipulated by controlling the broadening of the d-band through the chemical disorder. In this regime, the Bragg's additive rule for the stopping of composite materials also fails for NiCr.

description: Until recently, understanding the nature of consciousness was considered a philosophical pursuit. However, technological developments in brain imaging have allowed the study of consciousness as a natural, neurobiological phenomenon. The neurobiology of consciousness has been studied using cognitive and behavioural testing in healthy volunteers and by examining how brain function and connectivity is altered in various clinical settings. The focus of this thesis is to use two of these clinical settings, pharmacologically-induced sedation and disorders of consciousness (DOC), as experimental models for measuring changes in connectivity patterns associated with alterations in consciousness. Experiment 1 presents a method for improving functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data pre-processing to measure brain network connectivity more accurately. This pre-processing method is then applied to the analyses in the remainder of the thesis. Experiment 2 focuses on a fMRI dataset in which healthy volunteers were administered propofol, an anaesthetic drug known to act on inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. Using a novel multimodal analysis, changes in functional brain network connectivity in default mode, salience, and frontoparietal control networks were found to correlate with the cortical distribution of parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic interneurons. Using the same dataset, Experiment 3 identified a relationship between structural and functional networks in connections between default mode and salience networks. Similar results have been reported in non-human primate models, however, this is the first study to find network-specific structure-function relationships during sedation in humans. These findings informed the remainder of the thesis, which focused on developing network-based machine learning methods for examining brain connectivity in patients with DOC. Experiment 4 developed and validated a graph convolutional neural network (GCNN) classifier using fMRI data and functional connectivity from healthy volunteers performing a volitional mental imagery task. Experiment 5 applied the GCNN to patients with DOC and found frontoparietal control network connectivity measured at rest to be most important in classifying patients capable of performing the mental imagery task. Taken together, these results contribute to the improvement of brain network analysis techniques, the understanding of the neurobiology of propofol-induced sedation, and the development of machine learning algorithms to identify DOC patients with preserved covert volitional capacity. This work demonstrates the utility of clinical models in deepening our understanding of the neurobiology of consciousness.

description: Quantum dots in the quantum Hall regime can have pairs of single Slater determinant states that are degenerate in energy. We argue that these pairs of many body states may give rise to a Kondo effect which can be mapped into an ordinary Kondo effect in a fictitious magnetic field. We report on several properties of this Kondo effect using scaling and numerical renormalization group analysis. We suggest an experiment to investigate this Kondo effect.

description: Primordial black holes formed through the collapse of cosmological density fluctuations have been hypothesised as contributors to the dark matter content of the Universe. At the same time, their mergers could contribute to the recently observed population of gravitational-wave sources. We investigate the scenario in which primordial black holes form binaries at late times in the Universe. Specifically, we re-examine the mergers of primordial black holes in small clusters of ~30 objects in the absence of initial binaries. Binaries form dynamically through Newtonian gravitational interactions. These binaries act as heat sources for the cluster, increasing the cluster's velocity dispersion, which inhibits direct mergers through gravitational-wave two-body captures. Meanwhile, three-body encounters of tight binaries are too rare to tighten binaries sufficiently to allow them to merge through gravitational-wave emission. We conclude that in the absence of initial binaries, merger rates of primordial black holes in the Bird et al. (2016) initial cluster configuration are at least an order of magnitude lower than previously suggested, which makes gravitational-wave detections of such sources improbable.

description: Recent successes of Reinforcement Learning (RL) allow an agent to learn policies that surpass human experts but suffers from being time-hungry and data-hungry. By contrast, human learning is significantly faster because prior and general knowledge and multiple information resources are utilized. In this paper, we propose a Planner-Actor-Critic architecture for huMAN-centered planning and learning (PACMAN), where an agent uses its prior, high-level, deterministic symbolic knowledge to plan for goal-directed actions, and also integrates the Actor-Critic algorithm of RL to fine-tune its behavior towards both environmental rewards and human feedback. This work is the first unified framework where knowledge-based planning, RL, and human teaching jointly contribute to the policy learning of an agent. Our experiments demonstrate that PACMAN leads to a significant jump-start at the early stage of learning, converges rapidly and with small variance, and is robust to inconsistent, infrequent, and misleading feedback.

description: We present high resolution HST ultraviolet spectroscopy of NGC3242, the only planetary nebula with a measured abundance of 3He. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) has been used to observe the CIII multiplet near 1908 A. The presence of 12C and 13C lines at these wavelengths allows a direct estimate of the carbon isotopic ratio in the ionized gas of the nebula. We have detected the 12C doublet and obtained an upper limit on the 13C 1909.6 A line, resulting in a carbon isotopic ratio 12C/13C > 38, in agreement with standard stellar models. The lack of the 13C line and the presence of the 3He line in the spectrum indicate that the progenitor star did not undergo a phase of deep mixing during the last stages of its evolution. The significance of this result for studies of stellar nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution is discussed.

Understanding the activation mechanism of the Chk1 kinase

DNA damage response
Chk1

description: Faithful replication of DNA and correct segregation of duplicated chromosomes into two daughter cells are essential to ensure genome integrity and cell survival. Genome integrity is constantly threatened by endogenous and exogenous sources of DNA damage. Consequently, eukaryotic cells have evolved the DNA damage response (DDR), a signalling network that monitors and repairs DNA lesions promptly and efficiently. The ATR-Chk1 pathway is an essential component of the DDR, which is activated by single-strand DNA (ssDNA) generated as a result of DNA replication stress in S phase. Chk1 is a threonine/serine kinase that transduces the DNA damage signal and promotes cell cycle arrest to allow time for DNA repair. The Chk1 structure consists of conserved N-terminal kinase (Chk1KD) and C-terminal regulatory domains (Chk1RD). Available evidence has shown that the isolated Chk1KD is constitutively active, but how the enzymatic activity is regulated in the context of the full length (Chk1FL) kinase is unknown. In this thesis, the relative enzyme efficiency of purified, recombinant Chk1KD and Chk1FL was quantitatively studied using kinase assays. It was found that the enzyme efficiency of Chk1FL was up to two orders of magnitude lower than that of Chk1KD. Biophysical and biochemical characterisation of Chk1FL provided evidence of a compact shape and an intramolecular association of the Chk1RD with the Chk1KD. A putative Chk1RD-binding site on the Chk1KD surface was identified and disrupted by mutagenesis, resulting in partial increase of Chk1FL kinase activity, thus supporting an inhibitory role of the Chk1RD in controlling kinase activity. Activation of Chk1 requires its phosphorylation by the PI3K-like ATR kinase and its recruitment to the replisome via a direct interaction with the core replisome component, Claspin. The Chk1-binding domain of Claspin contains a tandem repeat of three phosphothreonine/serine motifs, which need to be phosphorylated for interaction. However, the structural basis of Chk1 binding remains presently unclear. The Chk1-Claspin interaction was analysed by alanine scanning of Claspin’s Chk1-binding motif and Chk1 binding to the mono-phosphorylated Chk1-binding domain of Claspin prepared using the amber codon suppression method. Furthermore, the affinity of Chk1KD and Chk1FL for a phosphorylated Claspin peptide spanning a single Chk1-binding motif or the three motifs was determined using fluorescence polarization and bio-layer interferometry. Chk1FL kinase activity was increased by the presence of a Claspin peptide corresponding to a single phosphorylated Chk1-binding motif. The results of my thesis provide new insights into the mechanism of Chk1 function. They support a model of Chk1 auto-inhibition mediated by the intramolecular interaction of its kinase and regulatory domains, and of Chk1 enhanced activity promoted by interaction with its replisome partner Claspin.

We carry out the unfolding argument uniformly in this article. To do so, we define a family of degenerate Whittaker coefficients that are suitable in this setup and study some of their properties. We also prove certain related global and local results that use the same tools.

Reconciling conservation, agriculture and household welfare: Testing the suitability of the land sparing and sharing model in Western Uganda

description: Increasing demand for food, fuel and timber, industrial and urban development, and for the protection of biodiversity and natural habitats are driving competition for land. In the face of rapid population growth and climate change there is urgent need to find ways of balancing the multiple requirements that people place on landscapes. The land sparing and sharing model is a simple and powerful way of framing the trade-offs between agricultural production and biodiversity conservation but one that has been subject to much criticism, not least for its failure to consider local level impacts on food security and livelihoods. In the Budongo Forest Reserve of Uganda and surrounding landscape, which provides critical habitat to biodiversity and threatened species, small-scale food production is at the heart of household food security and livelihoods, and commercial sugarcane production has contributed to widespread deforestation. Where deforestation and land use change threaten the natural resources on which the majority of the population depend, adopting a sparing or sharing approach is likely to have significant consequences for household welfare, farming and access to food, and yet the framework does little to prescribe the appropriate approach for a given landscape context. This thesis investigates the suitability of the land sparing and sharing model for reconciling trade-offs between biodiversity conservation, food production and measures of household welfare, using the Budongo Forest landscape as a case study. Using statistical models constructed to simulate the two approaches based on household and community-level data, it shows that household factors found to be linked to poverty and food insecurity, including the diversity and type of cropping system, size of and rights to land, agricultural production and income, and use of inputs, will likely be directly affected under a sparing or sharing strategy. The magnitude and direction of effect is, however, highly dependent upon the conceptualisation and translation of scenarios of sparing and sharing, model assumptions and relationships. As such, this thesis calls into question their ability to guide policy decision making. The Budongo Forest landscape does not easily fit within the land sparing and sharing framework (even when “re-framed”) and current quantitative methods to assess land use strategies can be co-opted or unknowingly biased. As a result, I conclude that alternative land use decision making tools, particularly those that consider power structures, smallholder concerns, landscape context and future threats, are more appropriate for seeking optimal and sustainable land management.

description: Der Beitrag analysiert die Geopolitik Spitzbergens, einer Inselgruppe mit 400 Inseln und Schären mit 61.022 km² Fläche und 2993 Einwohnern im Polarkreis, die von militärischen und sicherheitspolitischen Aspekten und dem besonderen Status des Gebietes durch den Spitzbergen-Vertrag dominiert wird. Der offizielle Name des Gebietes ist Svalbard (kühle Küste), in der Praxis ist aber auch der Name der Hauptinsel Spitzbergen gebräuchlich. Insgesamt hat sich der Spitzbergen-Vertrag bewährt und das friedliche Zusammenleben der Bewohner geregelt. Durch die Weiterentwicklung des internationalen Rechts in den vergangenen 100 Jahren, insbesondere durch das Seerechtsübereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen (UNCLOS III) mit der Errichtung von 200-Meilen-Zonen als Ausschließliche Wirtschaftszonen und Ansprüchen auf Festlandssockel haben sich unterschiedliche Auslegungen des Spitzbergen-Vertrages ergeben. Aber auch der Vertrag selbst ist eine Quelle von Diskussionen, insbesondere wenn es um Fischerei und die militärische Nutzung geht. Für Norwegen und die NATO stellt die Präsenz der Russen und der Chinesen eine besondere Situation dar, während für die Russen Spitzbergen direkt in der Passage der Nordmeerflotte in den Atlantik liegt. Russland hat die Bestimmungen des Spitzbergen-Vertrages als erstes Land zur Errichtung der bis heute bestehenden Präsenz genutzt. China ist seit 2004 mit der Yellow-River-Forschungsstation in Ny-Ålesund präsent und baut seine arktischen Aktivitäten weiter aus. Sicherheitspolitisch sind die SvalSat-Bodenstation für Satelliten und die Unteressekabel bedeutsam. Durch die zunehmend angespannte internationale Lage ist die Stabilität der Region jetzt Gegenstand des geopolitischen Diskurses.

description: Neural networks are one of the disruptive computing concepts of our time. However, they fundamentally differ from classical, algorithmic computing. These differences result in equally fundamental, severe and relevant challenges for neural network computing using current computing substrates. Neural networks urge for parallelism across the entire processor and for a co-location of memory and arithmetic, i.e. beyond von Neumann architectures. Parallelism in particular made photonics a highly promising platform, yet until now scalable and integratable concepts are scarce. Here, we demonstrate for the first time how a fully parallel and fully implemented photonic neural network can be realized by spatially multiplexing neurons across the complex optical near-field of a semiconductor multimode laser. Discrete spatial sampling defines ∼90 nodes on the surface of a large-area vertical cavity surface emitting laser that is optically injected with the artificial neural networks input information. Importantly, all neural network connections are realized in hardware, and our processor produces results without pre- or post-processing. Input and output weights are realized via the complex transmission matrix of a multimode fiber and a digital micro-mirror array, respectively. We train the readout weights to perform 2-bit header recognition, a 2-bit XOR logical function and 2-bit digital to analog conversion, and obtain $\lt0.9 \times 10^{-3}$ and 2.9 × 10−2 error rates for digit recognition and XOR, respectively. Finally, the digital to analog conversion can be realized with a standard deviation of only 5.4 × 10−2. Crucially, our proof-of-concept system is scalable to much larger sizes and to bandwidths in excess of 20 GHz.

description: CH3CN (J=6-5) was observed with a resolution of 2'' toward W75N using the BIMA interferometer. Two continuum sources were detected at 3 mm, designated MM1 and MM2 in previous studies. Alignment of two mm continuum sources with the outflow axis from MM1 suggests that these continuum sources may be the result of the outflow interacting with the interstellar medium. MM1 is coincident with compact CH3CN emission. CH3CN was not detected toward MM2. The distribution of optical depth is derived. An excitation analysis was not done because of large line optical depths.

description: Newman and Cain (Newman, Cain 2014 Psychol. Sci. 25, 648–655. (doi:10.1177/0956797613504785)) reported that observers view a person's choices as less ethical when that person has acted in response to both altruistic and selfish (commercial) motivations, as compared with purely selfish interests. The altruistic component reduces the observers' approval rather than raising it. This puzzling phenomenon termed the ‘tainted altruism’ effect, has attracted considerable interest but no direct replications in prior research. We report direct replications of Newman and Cain's Experiments 2 and 3, using a larger sample (n = 501) intended to be fairly representative of the US population. The results confirm the original findings in considerable detail.

description: This thesis has investigated several complex situations that may be encountered in electrochemical studies. Three main situations have been examined, they include the formation of polymer films on electrode surfaces during measurements, a novel nanocatalyst modified electrode surfaces, and organised carbon nanotube (CNT) structures on electrode surfaces. These have been utilised for different electrochemical applications owing to their dissimilar properties. Voltammetric techniques of cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV) and Fourier transformed large amplitude ac voltammetry (FTACV) have been utilised to examine these reactions. Chapter 3 reports the investigation of catechol oxidation and subsequent polymerisation through crosslinking with D-glucosamine or chitosan. Hydrogel can be formed on the electrode surface during the process, which changes the viscosity of the solution and thus affects the diffusion of chemical species. This process has been examined by several voltammetric techniques. A further examination of the chemical system has also been conducted using FTACV for the first time. Chapter 4 describes the preparation of carbon microsphere supported molybdenum disulfide. The material has been utilised as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media, and the performance tested by traditional linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and advanced FTACV techniques. The FTACV technique has been used for the first time for HER processes. In addition, the synthesised particles have also been used for thermal catalytic decomposition of hydrogen sulfide, which shows a significant improvement in the conversion rate over conventional examples. Chapter 5 demonstrates the direct growth of vertically aligned CNT forests on a gold electrode. The electrochemical response of the fabricated electrode has also been examined with ferrocyanide as the redox species. Furthermore, the immobilisation of anthraquinone onto CNT forest has been attempted. The fabricated electrode was utilised as a pH sensor via CV and SWV, and both indicates a well correlated pH-potential relationship in the pH range of 2 to 12. The sensor has also been assessed by the FTACV technique.

description: We present new data on the mass of the light and strange quarks from SESAM/T$χ$L. The results were obtained on lattice-volumes of $16^3\times 32$ and $24^3\times 40$ points, with the possibility to investigate finite-size effects. Since the SESAM/T$χ$L ensembles at $β=5.6$ have been complemented by configurations with $β=5.5$, moreover, we are now able to attempt the continuum extrapolation (CE) of the quark masses with standard Wilson fermions.

description: Video games are played by more than 1.8 billion people and are a pervasive force in society, but despite decades of research there has been little consensus on their effects. Before we are able to model complex outcomes such as excessive engagement, we must first understand how and why people play video games. This dissertation integrates latent factor models with techniques from machine learning and network analysis to develop a holistic picture of gaming style, motivations, and individual differences. It employs diverse sources of data across several studies and a total of 2,143 participants, combining online questionnaires with qualitative analysis of participant responses and objective information about gaming behaviour from the API of the popular gaming network “Steam”, and finds that stress relief is a primary motivation for engaging in the immersive worlds of video games. Previous research has indicated three underlying factors of Immersion, Achievement and Socialising which replicated across three comprehensive studies of 480 adults, 106 adults and children with an Autism Spectrum Condition, and 961 adults and adolescents. Gamers experiencing more stress in their daily lives were more likely to have Immersion rather than Social or Achievement play styles. Achievement-oriented gamers tended to be lower in stress, higher in conscientiousness and emotional stability, and played more than Immersion-focused gamers. A qualitative analysis of 54 gamers’ descriptions of why they recently chose to play a game was used to develop the “Reasons for Playing Video Games” items (RPVG), which were administered to independent samples of 243, 299 and 961 gamers. The qgraph R package was used to perform network analyses of the RPVG items and gameplay style factors, employing the machine learning-based adaptive LASSO technique to estimate a partial correlation matrix from a set of variables as a Pairwise Markov Random Field. Gamers higher in Immersion tended to play for escapism, distraction, and fantasy, while social gamers played for excitement, energy, and self-expression. Network analysis and graph theory illustrate the central role of stress relief in the network of Reasons for Playing Video Games and shows that playing when feeling stressed is strongly linked with Immersion.

description: The low temperature (2-24 K) thermal expansion of pure (single crystal and polycrystalline) C60 and polycrystalline C60 intercalated with He, Ne, Ar, and Kr has been investigated using high-resolution capacitance dilatometer. The investigation of the time dependence of the sample length variations on heating shows that the thermal expansion is determined by the sum of positive and negative contributions, which have different relaxation times. The negative thermal expansion usually prevails at helium temperatures. The positive expansion is connected with the phonon thermalization of the system. The negative expansion is caused by reorientation of the C60 molecules. It is assumed that the reorientation is of quantum character. The inert gas impurities affect very strongly the reorientation of the C60 molecules especially at liquid helium temperatures. A temperature hysteresis of the thermal expansion coefficient of Kr- and He- C60 solutions has been revealed. The hysteresis is attributed to orientational polyamorphous transformation in these systems.
