description: A proper understanding of the Milky Way (MW) dwarf galaxies in a cosmological context requires knowledge of their 3D velocities and orbits. However, proper motion (PM) measurements have generally been of limited accuracy and available only for more massive dwarfs. We therefore present a new study of the kinematics of the MW dwarf galaxies. We use the Gaia DR2 for those dwarfs that have been spectroscopically observed in the literature. We derive systemic PMs for 39 galaxies and galaxy candidates out to 420 kpc, and generally find good consistency for the subset with measurements available from other studies. We derive the implied Galactocentric velocities, and calculate orbits in canonical MW halo potentials of "low" ($0.8 \times 10^{12} M_\odot$) and "high" mass ($1.6 \times 10^{12} M_\odot$). Comparison of the distributions of orbital apocenters and 3D velocities to the halo virial radius and escape velocity, respectively, suggests that the satellite kinematics are best explained in the high-mass halo. Tuc III, Crater II, and additional candidates have orbital pericenters small enough to imply significant tidal influences. Relevant to the missing satellite problem, the fact that fewer galaxies are observed to be near apocenter than near pericenter implies that there must be a population of distant dwarf galaxies yet to be discovered. Of the 39 dwarfs: 12 have orbital poles that do not align with the MW plane of satellites (given reasonable assumptions about its intrinsic thickness); 10 have insufficient PM accuracy to establish whether they align; and 17 satellites align, of which 11 are co-orbiting and (somewhat surprisingly, in view of prior knowledge) 6 are counter-orbiting. Group infall might have contributed to this, but no definitive association is found for the members of the Crater-Leo group.

description: We study the minimal models associated to $\mathfrak{osp}(1 \vert 2)$, otherwise known as the fractional-level Wess-Zumino-Witten models of $\mathfrak{osp}(1 \vert 2)$. Since these minimal models are extensions of the tensor product of certain Virasoro and $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ minimal models, we can induce the known structures of the representations of the latter models to get a rather complete understanding of the minimal models of $\mathfrak{osp}(1 \vert 2)$. In particular, we classify the irreducible relaxed highest-weight modules, determine their characters and compute their Grothendieck fusion rules. We also discuss conjectures for their (genuine) fusion products and the projective covers of the irreducibles.

description: We have imaged five 7\arcmin \x 7\arcmin\ fields in M31 spanning galactocentric radii from 4 to 32 kpc along the SW-major axis. The fields were observed through two broad-band (\V\ and \I) and two narrow-band (\CN\ and \TiO) filters. The broad-band data were used to construct \IvsVI\ color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and, in some of our fields, we found significant numbers of stars in the Cepheid instability strip. A distance modulus for the Cepheids in the middle field was found that agreed well with other values in the literature values. The width of the giant branch (GB) in the \IvsVI\ CMD of all 5 fields was investigated, and we show that in four of the fields a likely explanation for the GB width is a combination of {\it both} metallicity and mass variations. Using the broad-band data, the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) luminosity functions (LFs) were measured in the five fields, and we show that differences exist between these LFs. We speculate on how the different star forming histories in the fields may lead to the observed AGB LFs and GB widths. Using the narrow-band data along with the broad-band data we separated the AGB stars into carbon-rich (C) and oxygen-rich (M) types. The carbon stars LFs were used to obtain an estimate for the distance modulus of M31 which agrees with the value derived from Cepheids. The ratio of C- to M-stars (C/M) is believed to be an indicator of gaseous chemical abundance at the time of formation of these stars. We show that the C/M ratio increases smoothly with galactocentric distance, suggesting an inverse correlation with metallicity. This is the first demonstration of this effect within a single extragalactic system. We find that differences in the width of the GB and the AGB LFs do not significantly affect the C/M ratio. We consider the effect of the increasing C/M ratio on the ISM in M31, and cite evidence in favor of a model where the grain composition in M31 is a function of galactocentric distance.

Glycobiology studies of influenza virus
Creators: name: Jia, Nan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Glycans represent a class of macromolecules that exhibit vital biological roles in living organisms. They are not only essential for maintaining the normal functionalities of a cell, but are also involved in many pathogenic processes. The influenza A virus binds to glycan receptors that are expressed on the surface of respiratory epithelial cells of human airway and thereby initiates infection. Deciphering the structural features of glycans and comprehending their functional implications are thus crucial to expand our understandings of the disease. To validate the alternative models that are used in the studies of influenza, we generated the glycomic profiles from in vivo and in vitro experimental systems by mass spectrometry. A combination of MALDI-TOF MS, MALDI-TOF-TOF MS/MS, GC-EI-MS and enzymatic digestion experiments were utilised to characterise the structure of glycans. The ferret has been used as an experimental animal to investigate the transmission and replication of influenza viruses. To verify the validity of this model, we carried out glycomic characterisation of ferret respiratory tissues to complement the data that was generated from human airway tissues. The mass spectrometric analysis indicates that the respiratory glycosylation of ferret highly resembles that of human, although distinctive expression of glycans displaying the Sda epitope are detected exclusively in ferret. Nonetheless, in comparison to other lab animals such as mouse and swine, ferret remains a better alternative model for studying the pathogenicity of influenza viruses. In the second project, we generated the glycomic profiles from human and ferret respiratory epithelial cells that were cultured under experimental conditions. Glycosylation patterns between these two in vitro systems are largely comparable, except the presence of the Sda epitope in ferret cells. However, when compared to their corresponding in vivo tissues, diminished structural repertoires especially the high-mass structures were observed.

description: The Pierre Auger Observatory has recently reported the detection of a dipole anisotropy in the arrival directions of cosmic rays above 8 EeV with a post-trial significance of more than 5.2$σ$. This observation has profound consequences for the distribution and composition of candidate sources of cosmic rays above the ankle (3-5 EeV). In this paper we search for the presence of anisotropies on all angular scales in public Auger data. The analysis follows a likelihood-based reconstruction method that automatically accounts for variations in the observatory's angular acceptance and background rate. Our best-fit dipole anisotropy in the equatorial plane has an amplitude of 5.3 $\pm$ 1.3 percent and right ascension angle of 103 $\pm$ 15 degrees, consistent with the results of the Pierre Auger Collaboration. We do not find evidence for the presence of medium- or small-scale anisotropies. The method outlined in this paper is well-suited for the future analyses of cosmic ray anisotropies below the ankle, where cosmic ray detection in surface arrays is not fully efficient and dominated by systematic uncertainties.

description: We construct an analytic model for the void-galaxy cross-correlation function that enables theoretical predictions of the dipole signal produced dominantly by the gravitational redshift within voids for the first time. By extending a theoretical formulation for the redshift-space distortion of galaxies to include the second order terms of the galaxy peculiar velocity $\bm v$ and the gravitational potential, we formulate the void-galaxy cross-correlation function multipoles in the redshift space, the monopole $ξ_0^{(s)}$, dipole $ξ_1^{(s)}$ and quadrupole $ξ_2^{(s)}$. We find that the dipole $ξ_1^{(s)}$ is dominated by the gravitational redshift, which provide a unique opportunity to detect the gravitational potential of voids. Thus, for the dipole $ξ_1^{(s)}(s)$, the gravitational redshift is crucial. Although the higher order effect is almost negligible on the monopole $ξ_0^{(s)}$, it has an influence on the quadrupole $ξ_2^{(s)}$. The effects from the random velocity of galaxies and the definition of the void center on the dipole signal are also discussed. Our model offers a new theoretical probe for the detection of gravitational redshift with voids and further tests on cosmology and gravity.

Investigating the mechanisms controlling cell survival during the first steps of embryonic differentiation
Creators: name: Di Gregorio-Pena, Aida Felicia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: In the mouse and human embryo the onset of differentiation is accompanied by a dramatic series of changes at the level of gene expression, epigenetics, signalling, and metabolism. During this period the epiblast becomes hypersensitive to death stimuli and defective cells are eliminated. Cell competition has been proposed as a quality control mechanism that compares cell fitness levels within a cell population and eliminates those cells that are less fit than their neighbours, whilst promoting the proliferation of the fitter cells. In Drosophila, the transcription factor dMyc plays a key role in cell competition. This thesis examines the role of c-Myc, the mouse dMyc homologue, in mammalian cell competition, and demonstrates that c-Myc is key determinant of cell fitness in a number of developmental contexts. We find that in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and early post-implantation embryos, defective cells decrease c-MYC expression and are eliminated by apoptosis specifically when surrounded by high-MYC expressing neighbours. We also find that defective cardiomyocytes have low c-MYC expression during cardiac regeneration. Furthermore, we show that over-expression of c-Myc in ESCs is sufficient to turn cells into super-competitors, therefore capable of eliminating their wild-type neighbours, and that loss of c-Myc during early post-implantation development leads to reduced embryo size. Together these results indicate that relative c-MYC levels determine the outcome of cell competition during mammalian embryogenesis. We have also analysed what triggers cell competition during early development. Metabolomic analysis of wild-type and defective ESCs revealed that upon differentiation (that triggers cell competition), defective ESCs have significantly lower levels of glycolysis, TCA cycle activity and amino-acid synthesis, indicating a lower metabolic activity. These differences in cell metabolism suggest that during early development cell competition is acting as a metabolic selector mechanism, and eliminating those cells that are less metabolically active.

description: We report polariton lasing in localised gap states in a honeycomb lattice of coupled micropillars. Localisation of the modes is induced by the optical potential created by the excitation beam, requiring no additional engineering of the otherwise homogeneous polariton lattice. The spatial shape of the gap states arises from the interplay of the orbital angular momentum eigenmodes of the cylindrical potential created by the excitation beam and the hexagonal symmetry of the underlying lattice. Our results provide insights into the engineering of defect states in two-dimensional lattices.

An investigation into lower limb injuries caused by improvised explosive devices
Creators: name: Bonner, Timothy
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The proliferation of Improvised Explosive Devices during the War in Afghanistan (2001 – 2014) caused many casualties and deaths on all sides of the conflict. Casualty data from the UK field hospital in Afghanistan identified 155 casualties with fractures in 108 femoral long bone segments in 93 femora, and 131 tibial long bone segments in 114 tibiae. The diaphysis was the commonest site of fracture in the tibia (53%) and femur (44%). The head and face (30%) and upper limbs (36%) were the commonest sites of associated injuries. A mechanism of injury analysis of these casualties found that only 3% had tympanic membrane ruptures and 1% had primary blast lung injury, which suggests a low likelihood of primary musculoskeletal blast injuries. There were only eight casualties with fractures caused by metallic fragments alone. Of the remaining casualties, 57 had an axial loading pattern of injuries, 46 had bending and torsional fractures, 15 had a mixed pattern and 29 could not be classified. Twenty-eight casualties with knee ligament injuries were identified, including 17 with tibio-femoral dislocations. These injuries were further characterised in a porcine stifle joint uniaxial tension model through strain rates in the range 0.01 to 100/s. Across the range of strain rates, tensile modulus increased from 288 to 905 MPa and tensile failure stress increased from 39.9 to 77.3 MPa. The strain rate sensitivity of the material properties decreased as deformation rates increased, and reached a limit at approximately 1/s, beyond which there was no further significant change. The effect of knee position on lower limb injury severity was investigated using a traumatic impact simulator capable of reproducing the axial impulse experienced by casualties mounted in vehicles during an IED attack. Cadaveric tests found that the severity of lower limb injuries was less severe when the knee was flexed at ~20 in a standing position.

Investigations of the combination of carbon capture and storage via the calcium looping cycle with biomass combustion
Creators: name: Yao, Joseph Genbin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) refers to a group of technologies with the potential to achieve negative CO2 emissions. One example of this is in situ capture of CO2 from biomass combustion using the calcium looping cycle. Calcium looping is a CO2 capture technology whereby a CaO-based sorbent is cycled between two vessels: the carbonator (where CO2 is captured) and calciner (where CaO is regenerated). Since biomass can combust around the operating temperature (650°C) of the carbonator, it is possible to capture the CO2 generated from combustion with the CaO-based sorbent in a single vessel. However, low-temperature combustion of biomass can result in incomplete combustion and tar formation. Raising the temperature of the combustor/carbonator is one solution; however, high temperatures are not thermodynamically favourable for carbonation (at atmospheric pressures). This thesis examines the combination of calcium looping and biomass combustion in a bench-scale 3 kWe pressurised fluidised-bed reactor. It is split into three main parts. The first part is an experimental study of the effects of pressure and temperature on the degree of CO2 capture and tar yield from the in situ capture process. The second part presents the kinetics of carbonation with and without the other combustion product, steam when subject to mild pressurisation (1.5-5 bara). The experimental data were well represented by simple Langmuir adsorption models. The final part of this thesis models the experimental carbonation kinetics data with full reactor models (a two-phase model and a simpler CSTR model) written in MATLAB®. These models were found to work quite well with self-consistent parameters. The purpose of developing the dynamic models for the carbonation process was to create the foundation for a more complex model which can be used to simulate and test the in situ capture process beyond the limited regime considered in the experiments.

description: It has been demonstrated that alpha cellulose can be generated from rice straw.Maceration of rice straw with ethanol, delignification with 3.5 % sodium hydroxide, extraction of alpha cellulose with 17.5% sodium hydroxide, and bleaching with hydrogen peroxide % were used to make alpha cellulose. The physicochemical properties of alpha cellulose were evaluated and compared to previous research in this study. Cellulose, along with lignin, is an organic compound found in plant cell walls that helps to cement the structure of the plant. The physicochemical properties include morphology by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), crystallinity by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses, functional groups by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, loss on drying, pH and organoleptic. The SEM picture shows the morphology of cellulose fibres; the sample was semi-crystalline with a crystallinity index of 78%; the functional groups present in the sample are the same as those found in alpha cellulose; loss on drying was 8% w/w; pH was 7; and the organoleptic properties were white powder, odourless, and tasteless. The alpha cellulose yield is 30.11%.

description: The vacuum state -- or any other state of finite energy -- is not an eigenstate of any smeared (averaged) local quantum field. The outcomes (spectral values) of repeated measurements of that averaged local quantum field are therefore distributed according to a non-trivial probability distribution. In this paper, we study probability distributions for the smeared stress tensor in two dimensional conformal quantum field theory. We first provide a new general method for this task based on the famous conformal welding problem in complex analysis. Secondly, we extend the known moment generating function method of Fewster, Ford and Roman. Our analysis provides new explicit probability distributions for the smeared stress tensor in the vacuum for various infinite classes of smearing functions. All of these turn out to be given in the end by a shifted Gamma distribution, pointing, perhaps, at a distinguished role of this distribution in the problem at hand.

description: Οι μεταναστευτικές κινήσεις στο εσωτερικό των χωρών υποδοχής προκαλούν σε πολλούς πολίτες αβεβαιότητα και αγανάκτηση. Αφήνουν να εμφανισθούν αισθήματα απειλής και συγκεχυμένου φόβου. Πολλοί από τους ντόπιους αντιλαμβάνονται τις δημογραφικές αλλαγές ως απειλή και αντιδρούν με εχθρότητα, μίσος, φόβο και βία κατά του «ξένου». Περιπτώσεις μορφών βίας είναι μόνο η κορυφή του παγόβουνου ενός καθημερινού ρατσισμού.
Ο ρατσισμός ως κοσμοθεωρία ξεκινά από τη βασική αρχή ότι οι φυλές και τα έθνη αποτελούν μονάδες με διαφορετικά μεταξύ τους χαρακτηριστικά και ξεχωριστές δυνατότητες ανάπτυξης σε όλους τους τομείς της ζωής. Σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία αυτή οι πολιτισμοί που εμφανίστηκαν στη γη ήταν προϊόντα ιδιαίτερων λαών συγκεκριμένης φυλής και καταστράφηκαν όταν οι λαοί αυτοί υποτάχθηκαν σε αλλόφυλους λαούς ή αναμίχθηκαν με άλλους λαούς. Γι’ αυτό το λόγο η ιστορία της ανθρωπότητας περιγράφεται και ερμηνεύεται μόνον ως ιστορία της άνισης ανάπτυξης κάθε φυλής χωριστά και ως σύγκρουση των φυλών μεταξύ τους.
Είναι σημαντικό για την αντιμετώπιση των καθημερινών μορφών αποκλεισμού, να γινεί ορατή η «λανθάνουσα» εμπλοκή κάθε μέλους της κοινωνίας μας σε μια ιστορία της αποικιοκρατίας, του ρατσισμού, του ναζισμού και της ευρωπαϊκής «ανωτερότητας». Η αντιρατσιστική παιδαγωγική δεν επιδιώκει την εξάλειψη των επιφανειακών συμπτωμάτων, αλλά έχει να κάνει με τις αιτίες και τις ρίζες του ρατσισμού. Αντιρατσιστική εκπαίδευση δεν είναι δυνατή χωρίς την πρόσβαση στη συστημική φύση της ρατσιστικής βίας. Στόχος εκπαιδευτικών προσπαθειών δεν μπορεί να είναι η καταστολή της ατομικής συμπεριφοράς ή η βελτίωσή της, αλλά η απόκτηση γνώσεων σχετικά με τους μηχανισμούς του αποκλεισμού και αυτούς να αλλάξει.

description: In the resonant tunneling regime sequential processes dominate single electron transport through quantum dots or molecules that are weakly coupled to macroscopic electrodes. In the Coulomb blockade regime, however, cotunneling processes dominate. Cotunneling is an inherently quantum phenomenon and thus gives rise to interesting observations, such as an increase in the current shot noise. Since cotunneling processes are inherently fast compared to the sequential processes, it is of interest to examine the short time behaviour of systems where cotunneling plays a role, and whether these systems display nonrenewal statistics. We consider three questions in this paper. Given that an electron has tunneled from the source to the drain via a cotunneling or sequential process, what is the waiting time until another electron cotunnels from the source to the drain? What are the statistical properties of these waiting time intervals? How does cotunneling affect the statistical properties of a system with strong inelastic electron-electron interactions? In answering these questions, we extend the existing formalism for waiting time distributions in single electron transport to include cotunneling processes via an $n$-resolved Markovian master equation. We demonstrate that for a single resonant level the analytic waiting time distribution including cotunneling processes yields information on individual tunneling amplitudes. For both a SRL and an Anderson impurity deep in the Coulomb blockade there is a nonzero probability for two electrons to cotunnel to the drain with zero waiting time inbetween. Furthermore, we show that at high voltages cotunneling processes slightly modify the nonrenewal behaviour of an Anderson impurity with a strong inelastic electron-electron interaction.

Nanoparticles, sensory irritation and the lung: Environmental influences on biological processes

description: Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) have been shown in epidemiological studies to be associated with respiratory symptoms. The cellular mechanisms driving these effects continue to be investigated. However, one aspect of lung physiology that has not been studied is the potential for DEP to activate transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels expressed on airway sensory nerves. The aim of this thesis was to determine whether DEP could activate airway sensory nerves and the underlying mechanisms involved. In the anesthetised guinea pig, it was established that DEP induced action potential firing in chemosensitive C-fibre airway afferents in vivo, but had no effect on mechanosensitive A-δ fibres. DEP was also shown to activate airway sensory nerves in vitro. Physicochemical characterisation of DEP indicated that it was mainly composed of inorganic carbon with the remainder organic hydrocarbons and trace impurities. It was demonstrated that the organic components of DEP (DEP-OE) were capable of activating the vagus nerve, while the carbon core had no effect. With the use of pharmacological tools and tissue from genetically modified mice, activation of sensory nerves by DEP-OE in vitro was found to be mediated by TRPA1. DEP-OE induced action potential firing was also inhibited by TRPA1 antagonism in vivo. Application of antioxidants abolished responses to DEP-OE, demonstrating a role for oxidative stress which is a known activator of TRPA1. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in DEP-OE were found to activate sensory nerves and this activation was also inhibited by TRPA1 antagonism. PAHs responses were inhibited by aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) antagonists. Responses to DEP-OE were also inhibited by AhR antagonists, and were reduced in AhR-/- mice. It was hypothesised that AhR induced oxidative stress through an association with the mitochondria, and the application of a specific mitochondrial superoxide scavenger inhibited responses to DEP-OE. A novel neuronal mechanism by which DEP exposure can activate airway sensory nerves has been identified. Potential therapeutic targets may be developed to protect susceptible individuals from the adverse health effects of air pollution. In a wider context, the results of this thesis could also be used as additional evidence for the need to reduce the levels of diesel emissions in the urban environment.
Spectroscopy of Candidate Young Globular Clusters in NGC 1275

description: We present spectra of the brightest member of the population of compact blue objects discovered in the peculiar galaxy NGC 1275 by Holtzman et al. using Hubble Space Telescope images. These spectra show strong Balmer absorption lines like those observed in A-type stars, as expected if the object is a young globular cluster. The age estimated from the strength of the Balmer lines is about 0.5 Gyr, although ages ranging from 0.1 Gyr to 0.9 Gyr can not be confidently excluded given current models of stellar populations. If these estimated ages are adopted for the young cluster population of NGC 1275 as a whole, the fading predicted by stellar populations models gives a luminosity function which is consistent with that of the Galactic globular cluster system convolved with the observational selection function for the NGC 1275 system. We also use the equivalent widths of the Mg $b$ and Fe 5270 features to constrain the metallicity of the young cluster. Combining these absorption-line widths with the age estimates from the Balmer lines and stellar population models, we find a metallicity of roughly solar based on the Mg $b$ index and somewhat higher for the Fe 5270 index. The radial velocity of the absorption lines of the cluster spectrum is offset from the emission lines of the galaxy spectrum at the same position by $-130$ \kms, providing further evidence for the identification of the object as a globular cluster, and opening up the future possibility of studying the kinematics of young cluster systems. The discovery of objects with the characteristics of young globular clusters in NGC 1275, which shows evidence of a recent interaction or merger, supports the hypothesis that galaxy interactions and mergers are favorable sites for the formation of globular clusters.

description: We present VLBI observations of the EGRET quasars 0202+149, CTA 26, and 1606+106, as well as additional analysis of VLBI observations of 1156+295 presented in Piner & Kingham (1997b). We have produced 8 and 2 GHz VLBI images at 11 epochs, 8 epochs, and 12 epochs, spanning the years 1989 to 1996, of 0202+149, CTA 26, and 1606+106 respectively. The VLBI data have been taken from the Washington VLBI correlator's geodetic database. We have measured the apparent velocities of the jet components and find that CTA 26 and 1606+106 are superluminal sources, with average apparent speeds of 8.9 and 2.9 h^{-1}c respectively (H_{0}=100h km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}, q_{0}=0.5). The components in 0202+149 are stationary, and we identify this source as a compact F double. These sources all have apparently bent jets, and we detected non-radial motion of components in CTA 26 and 1156+295. We have not yet detected any components emerging subsequent to the gamma-ray flares in CTA 26, 1156+295, and 1606+106, and we derive lower limits on the ejection times of any such components. The misalignment angle distribution of the EGRET sources is compared to the distribution for blazars as a whole, and we find that EGRET sources belong preferentially to neither the aligned nor the misaligned population. We also compare the average values for the apparent velocities and Doppler beaming factors for the EGRET and non-EGRET blazars, and find no significant differences. We thus find no indication, within the measurement errors, that EGRET blazars are any more strongly beamed than their counterparts which have not been detected in gamma-rays.
