description: The phase of the electronic wave function is not directly measurable but, quite remarkably, it becomes accessible in pairs of isospectral shapes, as recently proposed in the experiment of Christopher R. Moon {\it et al.}, Science {\bf 319}, 782 (2008). The method is based on a special property, called transplantation, which relates the eigenfunctions of the isospectral pairs, and allows to extract the phase distributions, if the amplitude distributions are known. We numerically simulate such a phase extraction procedure in the presence of disorder, which is introduced both as Anderson disorder and as roughness at edges. With disorder, the transplantation can no longer lead to a perfect fit of the wave functions, however we show that a phase can still be extracted - defined as the phase that minimizes the misfit. Interestingly, this extracted phase coincides with (or differs negligibly from) the phase of the disorder-free system, up to a certain disorder amplitude, and a misfit of the wave functions as high as $\sim 5%$, proving a robustness of the phase extraction method against disorder. However, if the disorder is increased further, the extracted phase shows a puzzle structure, no longer correlated with the phase of the disorder-free system. A discrete model is used, which is the natural approach for disorder analysis. We provide a proof that discretization preserves isospectrality and the transplantation can be adapted to the discrete systems.

description: Macrophages are a first line of defense against C. albicans, a fungus which causes life-threatening infections. After phagocytosis by macrophages, C. albicans can escape by forming hyphae (filaments). In this thesis I used sophisticated imaging approaches to capture interactions between C. albicans and macrophages. First, I expanded our knowledge of how macrophages are killed by escaping C. albicans hyphae. Next, I developed a new imaging assay that quantitates the escape of C. albicans hyphae from macrophages. Using this assay, I uncovered previously unknown mediators of C. albicans escape: the fungal toxin candidalysin, and macrophage cell death pathways (pyroptosis and ETosis).
Elucidating new mechanisms controlling the responses induced by the innate immune receptor Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING)

description: The immune receptor STING is crucial for detecting microbial infections and mounting an immune response via the production of inflammatory mediators. However, inappropriate STING activation is linked to several diseases including, autoimmune and neuroinflammatory conditions. This thesis better defines several new key aspects of STING responses, including a clearer understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling inflammation, as well as how STING responses are shut off to prevent chronic inflammation. Understanding STING function is important for effective targeting of this pathway for disease prevention.

Differential equations for multi-loop integrals and two-dimensional kinematics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we consider multi-loop integrals appearing in MHV scattering amplitudes of planar N=4 SYM. Through particular differential operators which reduce the loop order by one, we present explicit equations for the two-loop eight-point finite diagrams which relate them to massive hexagons. After the reduction to two-dimensional kinematics, we solve them using symbol technology. The terms invisible to the symbols are found through boundary conditions coming from double soft limits. These equations are valid at all-loop order for double pentaladders and allow to solve iteratively loop integrals given lower-loop information. Comments are made about multi-leg and multi-loop integrals which can appear in this special kinematics. The main motivation of this investigation is to get a deeper understanding of these tools in this configuration, as well as for their application in general four-dimensional kinematics and to less supersymmetric theories.

description: Mitochondria are widely known for their ability to produce energy through a chain of complex enzymes. Typically, disorders of energy deficiency underly mitochondrial disease, affecting 1 in 5,000 individuals. The function of many disease-causing proteins remains elusive and therefore mechanisms of pathogenesis can be difficult to identify. This research shares novel insights into mitochondrial proteins that when mutated cause: (1) mtDNA depletion associated liver dysfunction; (2) metabolic disorder with optic atrophy and cataracts; and (3) fatal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Identification of molecular mechanisms of protein function may provide insights for the development of targeted clinical interventions.

description: Video game development is currently a very labour-intensive endeavour. Furthermore it involves multi-disciplinary teams of artistic content creators and programmers, whose typical working patterns are not easily meshed. SAGA is our first effort at augmenting the productivity of such teams. Already convinced of the benefits of DSLs, we set out to analyze the domains present in games in order to find out which would be most amenable to the DSL approach. Based on previous work, we thus sought those sub-parts that already had a partially established vocabulary and at the same time could be well modeled using classical computer science structures. We settled on the 'story' aspect of video games as the best candidate domain, which can be modeled using state transition systems. As we are working with a specific company as the ultimate customer for this work, an additional requirement was that our DSL should produce code that can be used within a pre-existing framework. We developed a full system (SAGA) comprised of a parser for a human-friendly language for 'story events', an internal representation of design patterns for implementing object-oriented state-transitions systems, an instantiator for these patterns for a specific 'story', and three renderers (for C++, C# and Java) for the instantiated abstract code.

Jets in medium - what RHIC and LHC measurements of R_AA and I_AA can teach about the parton-medium interaction

description: High P_T observables associated with hard pQCD processes are regarded as tomographic probes of the medium created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Unfortunately, tomography is unexpectedly complicated in practice due to model uncertainties and the highly averaged nature of many observables. However, a systematic comparison study demanding a simultaneous description of many observables within the same framework is sufficiently powerful to rule out a large fraction of conjectured models about the physics mechanism of parton-medium interaction. From this study, it can be inferred that the relevant mechanism is likely to be perturbatively tractable medium-induced radiation with a small component of elastic energy transfer into the medium.

description: When a virus infects a cell, it gets broken down and small pieces of it called peptides are presented by antigen presenting molecules called Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLAs). HLAs present these viral peptides to T cells to flag that it has been infected for the T cells to destroy the infected cell. This thesis examines how T cells respond to different peptides derived from influenza and SARS-CoV-2 when presented by different HLA molecules.

description: We present photometry and spectroscopy of the type IIP supernova 2009bw in UGC 2890 from few days after the outburst to 241 days. The light curve of SN 2009bw during the photospheric phase is similar to that of normal SNe IIP but with brighter peak and plateau (Mmax R = -17.82 mag, Mplateau R = -17.37 mag). The luminosity drop from the photospheric to the nebular phase is one of the fastest ever observed, ~2.2 mag in about 13 days. The radioactive tail of the bolometric light curve indicates that the amount of ejected 56 Ni is \approx 0.022 M\odot. The photospheric spectra reveal high velocity lines of Hα and Hβ until about 105 days after the shock breakout, suggesting a possible early interaction between the SN ejecta and pre-existent circumstellar material, and the presence of CNO elements. By modeling the bolometric light curve, ejecta expansion velocity and photospheric temperature, we estimate a total ejected mass of 8-12M\odot, a kinetic energy of ~0.3 foe and an initial radius of ~ 3.6 - 7 \times 10^13 cm.

description: We report a phenomenon of strain-driven shape transition in the growth of nanoscale self-organized endotaxial CoSi2 islands on Si (100) substrates. Small square shaped islands as small as 15\times15 nm2 have been observed. Islands grow in the square shape following the four fold symmetry of the Si (100) substrate, up to a critical size of 67 \times 67 nm2. A shape transition takes place at this critical size. Larger islands adopt a rectangular shape with ever increasing length and the width decreasing to an asymptotic value of ~25 nm. This produces long wires of nearly constant width.We have observed nanowire islands with aspect ratios as large as ~ 20:1. The long nanowire heterostructures grow partly above (~ 3 nm) the surface, but mostly into (~17 nm) the Si substrate. These self-organized nanostructures behave as nanoscale Schottky diodes. They may be useful in Si-nanofabrication and find potential application in constructing nano devices.

description: Binary ruthenium pnictides, RuP and RuAs, with an orthorhombic MnP structure, were found to show a metal to a non-magnetic insulator transition at TMI = 270 K and 200 K, respectively. In the metallic region above TMI, a structural phase transition, accompanied by a weak anomaly in the resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility, indicative of a pseudo-gap formation, was identified at Ts = 330 K and 280 K, respectively. These two transitions were suppressed by substituting Ru with Rh. We found superconductivity with a maximum Tc = 3.7 K and Tc =1.8 K in a narrow composition range around the critical point for the pseudo-gap phase, Rh content xc = 0.45 and xc = 0.25 for Ru1-xRhxP and Ru1-xRhxAs, respectively, which may provide us with a novel non-magnetic route to superconductivity at a quantum critical point.

We show that if a Hankel matrix related to phi is trace-class, then there exists a unique completely bounded map M_phi on the reduced free product of the A_i, which acts as an radial multiplier. Hereby we generalize a result of Wysoczański for Herz-Schur multipliers on reduced group C*-algebras for free products of groups.

description: A model of protostar mass and luminosity evolution in clusters gives new estimates of cluster age, protostar birthrate, accretion rate and mean accretion time. The model assumes constant protostar birthrate, core-clump accretion, and equally likely accretion stopping. Its parameters are set to reproduce the initial mass function, and to match protostar luminosity distributions in nearby star-forming regions. It obtains cluster ages and birthrates from the observed numbers of protostars and pre-main sequence (PMS) stars, and from the modal value of the protostar luminosity. In 31 embedded clusters and complexes the global cluster age is 1-3 Myr, matching available estimates based on optical spectroscopy and evolutionary tracks. This method of age estimation is simpler than optical spectroscopy, and is more useful for young embedded clusters where optical spectrocopy is not possible. In the youngest clusters, the protostar fraction decreases outward from the densest gas, indicating that the local star-forming age increases outward from a few 0.1 Myr in small protostar-dominated zones to a few Myr in large PMS-dominated zones.

description: We investigate the consistent inclusion of 4D Einstein gravity on a truncated slice of AdS_5 whose bulk-gravity and UV scales are much less than the 4D Planck scale, M_* << M_{Pl}. Such "Little Warped Spaces" have found phenomenological utility and can be motivated by string realizations of the Randall-Sundrum framework. Using the interval approach to brane-world gravity, we show that the inclusion of a large UV-localized Einstein-Hilbert term allows one to consistently incorporate 4D Einstein gravity into the low-energy theory. We detail the spectrum of Kaluza-Klein metric fluctuations and, in particular, examine the coupling of the little radion to matter. Furthermore, we show that Goldberger-Wise stabilization can be successfully implemented on such spaces. Our results demonstrate that realistic low-energy effective theories can be constructed on these spaces, and have relevance for existing models in the literature.

description: The unpredictable Type IV drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions to the anti-seizure medication carbamazepine result in skin pathology ranging from a mild rash to life-threatening Stevens-Johnson syndrome. I undertook a multi-omics approach, that included genomics and transcriptomics, which resulted in the identification of novel biomarkers that differentiate disease severity and highlight the propensity of drug treated individuals to develop more severe drug reactions. This analysis also highlighted a role for non-conventional T cells in the more severe skin pathologies. Overall, these insights will inform future clinical management of drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions including more accurate rash classification, prognosis and direct novel treatment options.

description: A combined high-resolution atmospheric downscaling and wave hindcast based on the ERA-40 reanalysis covering the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea and the Barents Sea is presented. The period covered is from September 1957 to August 2002. The dynamic atmospheric downscaling is performed as a series of short prognostic runs initialized from a blend of ERA-40 and the previous prognostic run to preserve the fine-scale surface features from the high-resolution model while maintaining the large-scale synoptic field from ERA-40. The nested WAM wave model hindcast consists of a coarse 50 km model covering the North Atlantic forced with ERA-40 winds and a nested 10-11 km resolution model forced with downscaled winds. A comparison against in situ and satellite observations of wind and sea state reveals significant improvement in mean values and upper percentiles of wind vectors and the significant wave height over ERA-40. Improvement is also found in the mean wave period. ERA-40 is biased low in wind speed and significant wave height, a bias which is not reproduced by the downscaling. The atmospheric downscaling also reproduces polar lows, which can not be resolved by ERA-40, but the lows are too weak and short-lived as the downscaling is not capable of capturing their full life cycle.

We hadronize the heavy quarks on the critical hypersurface given by hydrodynamics after constructing a criterion for the relative recombination and fragmentation contributions. We discuss the influence of recombination and flow on the resulting heavy meson and single electron R_AA and elliptic flow. We will also comment on the effect of diffusion of open heavy flavor mesons in the hadronic phase.

Efficient and Correct Stencil Computation via Pattern Matching and Static Typing

Year: 2011

description: Stencil computations, involving operations over the elements of an array, are a common programming pattern in scientific computing, games, and image processing. As a programming pattern, stencil computations are highly regular and amenable to optimisation and parallelisation. However, general-purpose languages obscure this regular pattern from the compiler, and even the programmer, preventing optimisation and obfuscating (in)correctness. This paper furthers our work on the Ypnos domain-specific language for stencil computations embedded in Haskell. Ypnos allows declarative, abstract specification of stencil computations, exposing the structure of a problem to the compiler and to the programmer via specialised syntax. In this paper we show the decidable safety guarantee that well-formed, well-typed Ypnos programs cannot index outside of array boundaries. Thus indexing in Ypnos is safe and run-time bounds checking can be eliminated. Program information is encoded as types, using the advanced type-system features of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, with the safe-indexing invariant enforced at compile time via type checking.

description: Rayleigh-Bénard cells are one of the simplest systems to explore the laws of natural convection in the highly turbulent limit. However, at very high Rayleigh numbers (Ra > 1E12) and for Prandtl numbers of order one, experiments fall into two categories: some evidence a steep enhancement of the heat transfer while others do not. The origin of this apparent disagreement is presently unexplained. This puzzling situation motivated a systematic study of the triggering of the regime with an enhanced heat transfer, originally named the "Ultimate Regime" of convection. High accuracy heat transfer measurements have been conducted in convection cells with various aspect ratios and different specificities, such as altered boundary conditions or obstacles inserted in the flow. The two control parameters, the Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers have been varied independently to disentangle their relative influence. Among other results, it is found that i) most experiments reaching very high $Ra$ are not in disagreement if small differences in Prandtl numbers are taken into account, ii) the transition is not directly triggered by the large scale circulation present in the cell, iii) the sidewall of the cell have a significant influence on the transition. The characteristics of this Ultimate regime are summarized and compared with R. Kraichnan prediction for the asymptotic regime of convection.

description: We present a large sample of over 200 integrated-light spectra of confirmed globular clusters (GCs) associated with the Sombrero (M104) galaxy taken with the DEIMOS instrument on the Keck telescope. A significant fraction of the spectra have signal-to-noise levels high enough to allow measurements of GC metallicities using the method of Brodie & Huchra (1990). We find a distribution of spectroscopic metallicities ranging from -2.2 < [Fe/H] < +0.1 that is bimodal, with peaks at [Fe/H] ~ -1.4 and -0.6. Thus the GC system of the Sombrero galaxy, like a few other galaxies now studied in detail, reveals a bimodal spectroscopic metallicity distribution supporting the long-held belief that colour bimodality reflects two metallicity subpopulations. This further suggests that the transformation from optical colour to metallicity for old stellar populations, such as GCs, is not strongly non-linear. We also explore the radial and magnitude distribution with metallicity for GC subpopulations but small number statistics prevent any clear trends in these distributions.

description: Motivated by Hill's criterion of freeness for abelian groups, we investigate conditions under which unions of ascending chains of balanced-projective modules over integral domains are again balanced-projective. Our main result establishes that, in order for a torsion-free module to be balanced-projective, it is sufficient that it be the union of a countable, ascending chain of balanced-projective, pure submodules. The proof reduces to the completely decomposable case, and it hinges on the existence of suitable families of submodules of the links in the chain. A Shelah-Eklof-type result for the balanced projectivity of modules is proved in the way, and a generalization of Auslander's lemma is obtained as a corollary.

description: This thesis explores two drug hypersensitivity reactions linked with the risk gene variant HLA-B*57:01: pazopanib-induced liver injury and abacavir hypersensitivity syndrome. It establishes, for the first time, a mechanistic role for HLA-B*57:01 in pazopanib-induced hypersensitivity, and describes two abacavir-induced T cell epitopes. This work suggests distinct modes of drug-HLA-B*57:01 interaction underlie these unwanted immune reactions.

description: Pneumolysin, a toxin released by the bacterial pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause life-threatening diseases including pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. This toxin belongs to a family of cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) produced by 28 different bacterial species. In this thesis, we reveal the molecular basis underlying immune cell recognition of an 11-amino acid long ‘undecapeptide’ sequence from pneumolysin, which is highly conserved across all CDCs. These findings provide a platform for possible immunotherapeutic approaches to prevent pneumococcal infections and potentially against infections with other CDC-producing pathogens.

description: The phonon dispersion was measured at room temperature along (0,0,L) in the tetragonal phase of LaFeAsO using inelastic x-ray scattering. Spin-polarized first-principles calculations imposing various types of antiferromagnetic order are in better agreement with the experimental results than nonmagnetic calculations, although the measurements were made well above the magnetic ordering temperature, T_N. Splitting observed between two A_{1g} phonon modes at 22 and 26 meV is only observed in spin-polarized calculations. Magneto-structural effects similar to those observed in the AFe_2As_2 materials are confirmed present in LaFeAsO. The presence of Fe-spin is necessary to find reasonable agreement of the calculations with the measured spectrum well above T_N. On-site Fe and As force constants show significant softening compared to nonmagnetic calculations, however an investigation of the real-space force constants associates the magnetoelastic coupling with a complex renormalization instead of softening of a specific pairwise force.

description: Domain-specific languages raise the level of abstraction in software development. While it is evident that programmers can more easily reason about very high-level programs, the same holds for compilers only if the compiler has an accurate model of the application domain and the underlying target platform. Since mapping high-level, general-purpose languages to modern, heterogeneous hardware is becoming increasingly difficult, DSLs are an attractive way to capitalize on improved hardware performance, precisely by making the compiler reason on a higher level. Implementing efficient DSL compilers is a daunting task however, and support for building performance-oriented DSLs is urgently needed. To this end, we present the Delite Framework, an extensible toolkit that drastically simplifies building embedded DSLs and compiling DSL programs for execution on heterogeneous hardware. We discuss several building blocks in some detail and present experimental results for the OptiML machine-learning DSL implemented on top of Delite.

description: We propose a simple yet effective wireless network coding and decoding technique. It utilizes spatial diversity through cooperation between nodes which carry out distributed encoding operations dictated by generator matrices of linear block codes. For this purpose, we make use of greedy codes over the binary field and show that desired diversity orders can be flexibly assigned to nodes in a multiple unicast network, contrary to the previous findings in the literature. Furthermore, we present the optimal detection rule for the given model that accounts for intermediate node errors and suggest a network decoder using the sum-product algorithm. The proposed sum-product detector exhibits near optimal performance.

title: "Everything just turned up to maximum volume...everything turned up a notch ...": The sibling experience of living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Subjects: subject: Clinical psychology, individual and family studies.

description: Sibling relationships between children and their brothers and sisters with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have been studied infrequently. This study is the first to examine the experiences of a British sample of siblings and mothers of children with ADHD. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 siblings and 15 mothers. Standardised questionnaire measures completed by mothers and teachers revealed that the children with ADHD were experiencing considerable behavioural and emotional difficulties, however, the siblings' difficulties were in line with those expected in a community sample. Mothers reported experiencing high levels of depression and parenting stress. Qualitative analysis of the interview responses revealed that maternal perceptions of conflict in the sibling relationship were similar to those of the siblings, and both reported that aggression initiated by the child with ADHD was a significant part of the sibling relationship. Siblings perceived their sibling relationship as different to those of their friends in terms of the severity and persistence of this aggression. Siblings described managing this aggressive behaviour with retaliatory aggression, requests for paternal intervention, avoidance and accommodation. The majority of siblings considered mothers a source of emotional and practical support. Findings suggest that mothers of children with ADHD should be supported to identify and manage sibling conflict and to recognise and seek help for psychological difficulties they, the sibling, or the child with ADHD might be experiencing.

description: The Elmlund lab develops SIMPLE: an image-processing package for analysing single-particle images. Firstly, this thesis discusses the implementation of techniques that facilitate real-time data processing in the SIMPLE workflow. Moreover, the Elmlund lab collaborates with the Park lab in the Seoul National University on studying metallic nanoparticles. This collaboration has resulted in the generation of the first atomic-resolution 3D structures of platinum (Pt) nanoparticles. The core topic of the thesis is the development of techniques to examine 3D nanoparticle atomic models. The thesis also investigates the relationship between structural features and catalytic activity of Pt nanoparticles.

description: We have developed an experimental setup of very simple self-propelled robots to observe collective motion emerging as a result of inelastic collisions only. A circular pool and commercial RC boats were the basis of our first setup, where we demonstrated that jamming, clustering, disordered and ordered motion are all present in such a simple experiment and showed that the noise level has a fundamental role in the generation of collective dynamics. Critical noise ranges and the transition characteristics between the different collective patterns were also examined. In our second experiment we used a real-time tracking system and a few steerable model boats to introduce intelligent leaders into the flock. We demonstrated that even a very small portion of guiding members can determine group direction and enhance ordering through inelastic collisions. We also showed that noise can facilitate and speed up ordering with leaders. Our work was extended with an agent-based simulation model, too, and high similarity between real and simulation results were observed. The simulation results show clear statistical evidence of three states and negative correlation between density and ordered motion due to the onset of jamming. Our experiments confirm the different theoretical studies and simulation results in the literature about collision-based, noise-dependent and leader-driven self-propelled particle systems.

description: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) develops when insulin-producing -cells within pancreatic islets are destroyed by the host’s immune system. How autoreactive T cells recognise hybrid insulin peptides (HIPs) presented by HLA-DQ8 is unknown. We demonstrated the CD4+ T cells extracted from the peripheral blood of recent-onset and pancreas of deceased T1D patients were responded to HLA-DQ8 presenting HIPs. Our structural findings provided insights into the details of how these CD4+ T cells recognized naturally occurring antigen (C-peptide) and cross-reacted to HIPs.

description: This survey has tailored to address the particular expertise and experience of urban foresters and greenspace managers. Unlike rural foresters, urban forestry is a relatively new profession. There are no professional accreditations required, and those who are employed to manage urban greenspaces come from a diversity of educational backgrounds (O’Herrin et al. 2020). The International Society of Arboriculture estimates that only 20% of professionals who practice stewardship of urban greenspaces are members of their association. Because of the hard to reach and nebulous target population, we conducted the survey as a snowball sample, recognizing that we will need to take extra steps to ensure non-response bias, that our results will be highly susceptible to community bias, and that we will not be able to generalize our results beyond the participants of the study. Despite these drawbacks, we believe this work will make an important contribution to what is an emerging field of study.

description: In this paper we investigate gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models for space-time groups as gravitational theories, following the trend of recent work by Anabalon, Willison and Zanelli. We discuss the field equations in any dimension and study in detail the simplest case of two space-time dimensions and gauge group SO(2,1). For this model we study black hole solutions and we calculate their mass and entropy which resulted in a null value for both.
