DNA vaccination against Respiratory Syncytial Virus [RSV]
Creators: name: Kinnear, Ekaterina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Despite years of research, a vaccine for RSV is currently not available. One attractive platform for RSV vaccines is DNA vaccination, however to date DNA vaccines have been poorly immunogenic in humans. More understanding of the interplay between route of delivery, expression and immunogenicity of DNA vaccines is required. The aim of this project was to use the novel linear DNA construct developed by Touchlight Genetics Ltd to investigate the immune response to DNA vaccines. These constructs, or doggybones (dbDNA) because of their characteristic shape, are faster and easier to produce than conventional plasmid DNA vaccines, can be produced synthetically and only contain elements needed for gene expression. Initial studies investigated the relationship between expression and immunogenicity. dbDNA and circular plasmid vaccines were compared by evaluating the visible expression of a range of red fluorescent protein using in vivo imaging; immunogenicity was compared using vaccination models. Expression of dbDNA and plasmid vaccines was similar but there was a disconnect between expression and immunogenicity. dbDNA and plasmid vaccines of the RSV F, M2-1 and G genes were produced and efficacy evaluated after intramuscular, subcutaneous and tattoo delivery. The distinct immune profiles produced by RSV genes allowed for examination of immune response generated after delivery by various routes. dbDNA and plasmid vaccines had comparable immune responses, but no viable vaccine candidates were identified due to priming for vaccine enhanced disease. The route of delivery did not alter the immune phenotype of the antigen, but it did alter the magnitude. Intramuscular delivery produced strongest immune responses, followed by the tattooing route and with limited responses observed after subcutaneous delivery. The DNA vaccines generated in the project were immunogenic, generating strong T cell responses, but not protective. Better correlates of anti-RSV cellular protection are needed, therefore, the contribution of T cells to protection was investigated. Natural RSV infection induces tissue resident memory (TRM) populations in the airways which were not produced after intramuscular immunisation with DNA vaccines. Airway T cells from RSV exposed mice were able to protect naïve mice from RSV disease in a novel model of cell transfer. These studies provide evidence of protective roles of TRM cells and support the need to induce TRM with DNA vaccine strategies for protective immunogenicity.

description: Choosing the correct free energy functional is critical when developing thermodynamically consistent phase field models. We show that the grand-potential phase field model minimizes the Helmholtz free energy when mass conservation is imposed. While both functionals are at a minimum at equilibrium, the Helmholtz free energy decreases monotonically with time in the grand-potential phase field model, whereas the grand potential does not. Minimizing the grand potential implies a different problem where a system can exchange mass with its surroundings at every point, leading to a condition of isochemical potential and invalidating mass conservation of the system.

description: [Abridged] This review surveys the theory of gravitational self-force in curved spacetime and its application to the gravitational two-body problem in the extreme-mass-ratio regime. We first lay the relevant formal foundation, describing the rigorous derivation of the equation of self-forced motion using matched asymptotic expansions and other ideas. We then review the progress that has been achieved in numerically calculating the self-force and its physical effects in the astrophysical scenario of a compact object inspiralling into a (rotating) massive black hole. We highlight the way in which, nowadays, self-force calculations make a fruitful contact with other approaches to the two-body problem and help inform an accurate universal model of binary black hole inspirals, valid across all mass ratios. We conclude with a summary of the state of the art, open problems and prospects. Our review is aimed at non-specialist readers and is for the most part self-contained and non-technical; only elementary-level acquaintance with General Relativity is assumed. Where useful, we draw on analogies with familiar concepts from Newtonian gravity or classical electrodynamics.

Generalized HMC using Nambu mechanics for lattice QCD

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I describe a generalization of the hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm in which the molecular dynamics (MD) steps utilize Nambu generalized Hamiltonian dynamics. Characterized by multiple Hamiltonian functions, this formalism allows me to include forces from non-local objects in the MD evolution while preserving the target probability distribution. In this way, the changes proposed by the MD at one location can be made using instantaneous knowledge of the long-distance behavior of the gauge field to a degree beyond that usually provided by the fermion determinant. This represents a promising method for reducing critical slowing down in lattice QCD simulations.

description: The SUMMER project will explore recent findings that suggest that the global ocean’s mesopelagic zone contains 90 % of the planet’s fish biomass. Even if this is correct by only a fraction of this value, the exploitation potential in fishmeal production, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals is enormous. However, as the role of mesopelagic fish in pelagic ecosystems is not well understood, it is necessary to first establish methods to accurately estimate their biomass, taxonomic/functional diversity, contribution to the global carbon cycle and potential as a sustainable fishery. Using state-of-the-art tools (e.g. eDNA, acoustics and gut analysis), SUMMER will also investigate environmental repercussions of such exploitation, and quantify the impact of commercial extraction on pelagic ecosystems. This deliverable reports on the outcomes of Task 1.2: “Assemble relevant research outputs from research”. It addresses the second objective of Work Package 1, which is to compile background knowledge suitable to contributing to the scientific objectives of the SUMMER project. In total, 160 literature and 200 data references were identified, covering topics on mesopelagic resources with a focus on taxa specific biomass and community composition. The references and links are provided as Excel table and reference database in .ris format in open access. Ca. 1 TB of historical echosounder, abundance and biomass data were published in open access under this task via the databases PANGAEA and NMDC.

description: A search for exotic Higgs boson decays to light pseudoscalars in the final state of two muons and two $τ$ leptons is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Masses of the pseudoscalar boson between 15.0 and 62.5 GeV are probed, and no significant excess of data is observed above the prediction of the standard model. Upper limits are set on the branching fraction of the Higgs boson to two light pseudoscalar bosons in different types of two-Higgs-doublet models extended with a complex scalar singlet.

description: We report on the performance of Lagrangian perturbation theory up to the second order for the standard cold dark matter (SCDM) and broken scale invariance (BSI) scenarios. We normalize both models to the COBE data, the BSI model serves as an example of models which fit the small-scale power of galaxy surveys. We optimize Lagrangian perturbation solutions by removing small-scale power from the initial data and compare the results with those of numerical simulations. We find an excellent performance of the optimized Lagrangian schemes down to scales around the correlation length or smaller, depending on the statistics used for the comparison. The optimization scheme can be expressed in a way which is independent of the type of fluctuation spectrum and of the size of the simulations.

Dynamical adaptation in biology on multiple scales: from cells to collectives
Creators: name: Gosztolai, Adam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Bacteria and higher organisms alike have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to dynamically adapt to changing environments. We study temporal and spatial aspects of adaptation on multiple scales and at different levels of biological description. Firstly, in the context of Escherichia coli nitrogen assimilation, we study the cellular mechanisms facilitating dynamical adaptation to time-varying nitrogen abundance. We develop a concise mechanistic model, based on previously characterised biochemical interactions, that predicts the states of key enzymes in vivo during changes in ammonium abundance. Experimental data and model predictions reveal the dynamic role of enzymatic interactions in the signalling and regulation of the cellular nitrogen status. We suggest a novel, history-dependent mechanism regulating the ammonium uptake with the role to anticipate and buffer nitrogen shock. Secondly, we consider the chemotaxis of E. coli to study the functional role of cellular memory in chemotactic navigation. Agent-based simulations show that cells with memory achieve higher drift speeds in rugged attractant gradients than predicted by the Keller- Segel (KS) model describing gradient sensing. This behaviour is captured by a second- order correction to the KS drift velocity containing the effect of spatial correlations. Our results are consistent with the chemotactic pathway processing spatial correlations shedding light on the spatial interpretation of filtering. Thirdly, we generalise to study how the spatial information acquired at the microscopic level influences the spatial search by a population of random walkers. We extend the KS model of local search as an optimal control problem that describes the movement of searchers with spatial perception, quantified by a time horizon. Simulations and analytical arguments show that spatial perception induces faster convergence to steady state. Our results highlight the importance of transients in search; while asymptotically local strategies are optimal, biological timescales favour strategies based on finite spatial information.

Using the matrix element $\langle ππ| O_{8G}(-) | K^0 \rangle$ recently obtained by a large $N_c$ dual QCD approach, we find that if the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase is the origin of CP violation, the charged-Higgs-induced gluon penguin dipole operator in the type-III two-Higgs-doublet model can explain the measured $Re(ε'/ε)$ when the constraints from the relevant low energy flavor physics, such as $ΔB(K)=2$, $B\to X_s γ$, and Kaon indirect CP violation parameter $ε$, are included.

description: We present a sample of 33 Balmer Break Galaxies (BBGs) selected as HST/F160W dropouts in the deepest CANDELS/GOODS fields ($H\gtrsim27.3$~mag) but relatively bright in {\it Spitzer}/IRAC ($[3.6],[4.5]<24.5$~mag), implying red colors (median and quartiles: $\langle H-[3.6]\rangle=3.1^{3.4}_{2.8}$\,mag). Half of these BBGs are newly identified sources. Our BBGs are massive ($\langle \log(\rm{M}/\rm{M}_\odot)\rangle=10.8$) high redshift ($\langle z\rangle=4.8$) dusty ($\langle \rm{A(V)}\rangle=2.0$~mag) galaxies. The SEDs of half of our sample indicate that they are star-forming galaxies with typical specific SFRs 0.5-1.0~Gyr$^{-1}$, qualifying them as main sequence (MS) galaxies at $310^{3}\,\rm{M}_\odot/yr$) that place them above the MS. The rest, 30\%, are post-starbursts or quiescent galaxies located $>2σ$ below the MS with mass-weighted ages older than 700~Myr. Only 2 of the 33 galaxies are X-ray detected AGN with optical/near-infrared SEDs dominated by stellar emission, but the presence of obscured AGN in the rest of sources cannot be discarded. Our sample accounts for 8\% of the total number density of $\log(\rm{M}/\rm{M}_\odot)>10$ galaxies at $z>3$, but it is a significant contributor (30\%) to the general population of red $\log(\rm{M}/\rm{M}_\odot)>11$ galaxies at $411$ galaxies in the local Universe was assembled in the first 1.5~Gyr after the Big Bang, a fraction that is not reproduced by state-of-the-art galaxy formation simulations.

description: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize single-case intervention studies in which Functional Communication Training (FCT) involving augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) was implemented in school settings. Overall, the findings suggest that FCT involving AAC was effective in reducing challenging behaviour and promoting aided or unaided AAC use among participants with disability. FCT was more effective for the participants who engaged in less severe forms of challenging behaviour prior to intervention. Additionally, FCT was more effective when informed by a descriptive functional behaviour assessment and delivered within inclusive school settings. Implications for practice and directions for future research related to FCT for students who use AAC are addressed.
Measurements and modelling of space-charge-limited current transport in organic single-carrier devices
Creators: name: Rohr, Jason
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: This thesis discusses the accuracy of a number of analytical models commonly used to analyse current density-voltage curves from space-charge-limited current measurements, such as Ohm's law and the Mott-Gurney law. We studied the accuracy of the models using a numerical drift-diffusion solver which can calculate single-carrier devices containing either an intrinsic semiconductor, a doped semiconductor or a semiconductor with traps. This allowed us to calculate the current density-voltage curves of a single-carrier device using known input values for the mobility and trap characteristics, and subsequent fitting with the analytical models yielded insight into their accuracy. We found that Ohm's law only correctly describes the current when the probed semiconductor is highly doped, in which case the Mott-Gurney law is no longer valid. Numerical drift-diffusion solvers can also be used for direct fitting of experimental current density-voltage curves, allowing for the inclusion of traps but also injection barriers at the contact interfaces. We used this approach to fit to data obtained from single-carrier devices based on Spiro-OMeTAD. We then compared the charge-carrier mobility and trap characteristics obtained using the numerical approach to characteristics obtained from the analytical models, and we found that charge-transport could be described with a temperature-independent charge-carrier mobility when traps and injection limitation was included explicitly. Finally, we examined the effect of oxidation of fullerenes on organic solar cell effi ciency. We studied charge-transport when a small fraction of oxidized species was added to the film, and we found that the oxidized species act like charge traps. First principle calculations were used to calculate the energetics of the oxidized fullerene species, with results matching those of the charge-transport analysis. With the obtained knowledge we could qualitatively reproduce the observed reduction in solar cell efficiency.

description: For modern large-scale structure survey techniques it has become standard practice to test data analysis pipelines on large suites of mock simulations, a task which is currently prohibitively expensive for full N-body simulations. Instead of calculating this costly gravitational evolution, we have trained a three-dimensional deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to identify dark matter protohalos directly from the cosmological initial conditions. Training on halo catalogues from the Peak Patch semi-analytic code, we test various CNN architectures and find they generically achieve a Dice coefficient of ~92% in only 24 hours of training. We present a simple and fast geometric halo finding algorithm to extract halos from this powerful pixel-wise binary classifier and find that the predicted catalogues match the mass function and power spectra of the ground truth simulations to within ~10%. We investigate the effect of long-range tidal forces on an object-by-object basis and find that the network's predictions are consistent with the non-linear ellipsoidal collapse equations used explicitly by the Peak Patch algorithm.

description: We report high spectral resolution observations of the CO vibrational overtone emission from the young stellar object 1548C27; our observations include both the CO(2-0) and CO(5-3) bandhead regions. These data and similar observations of the young stellar object WL16, reported in a previous contribution to this journal, provide some of the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of inner disks around young stars. We describe the simple procedure that we use to synthesize bandhead emission from disks including the effect of thermal dissociation of CO and non-LTE excitation of the vibrational levels. Using this spectral synthesis procedure to extract the kinematics and physical properties of the emitting gas from the overtone data, we show how these high signal-to-noise data are also powerful probes of the stellar and inner disk properties of these systems. Our modeling is consistent with the identification of WL16 and 1548C27 as Herbig AeBe stars with stellar masses of approximately 2 and 4 solar masses, respectively. Thus, the kinematic signature of rotating disks in the overtone spectra of these sources provides strong support for the role of accretion disks in the formation of intermediate mass stars. For both WL16 and 1548C27, we interpret our modeling results as indicating that the overtone emission arises from a temperature inversion region in the inner disk atmosphere. We also find evidence for suprathermally broadened lines and are able to place useful constraints on the radial temperature and column density distributions of the CO line-formation region of the disk atmosphere.

description: We prove deviation bounds for the random variable $\sum_{i=1}^{n} f_i(Y_i)$ in which $\{Y_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ is a Markov chain with stationary distribution and state space $[N]$, and $f_i: [N] \rightarrow [-a_i, a_i]$. Our bound improves upon previously known bounds in that the dependence is on $\sqrt{a_1^2+\cdots+a_n^2}$ rather than $\max_{i}\{a_i\}\sqrt{n}.$ We also prove deviation bounds for certain types of sums of vector--valued random variables obtained from a Markov chain in a similar manner. One application includes bounding the expected value of the Schatten $\infty$-norm of a random matrix whose entries are obtained from a Markov chain.

description: The analysis of energy efficiency of agroecosystems from a sociometabolic perspective is a useful way to assess the sustainability of farm systems. In this paper we examine the transition of a Mediterranean agroecosystem from an organic farm system in the mid nineteenth century to an industrialized one at the end of the twentieth century by means of the technologies and ideology of the Green Revolution. Given that many of the world’s agricultural systems have experienced, or are currently experiencing this transformation, our results are relevant for building more sustainable agricultural systems in future. Our results highlight the relevance of livestock density, and the flows of biomass reused and unharvested biomass as key elements affecting the sustainability of the agroecosystem not only from a socioeconomic perspective, but also from an agroecological point of view. Additionally, from a biocultural perspective our investigation sustains the relevance of the study of traditional farm systems for the development of a sustainable agriculture.

In this work we analyse the sensitivity of DUNE to CPT and Lorentz--violating interactions in a framework that allows a straightforward extrapolation of the bounds obtained to any phenomenological modification of the dispersion relation of neutrinos.

description: Using grid-based hydrodynamics simulations and analytic modeling, we compute the electromagnetic (EM) signatures of gravitational wave (GW) driven inspirals of massive black hole binaries that accrete gas from circumbinary disks, exploring the effects of varying gas temperatures, viscosity laws, and binary mass ratios. Our main finding is that active galactic nuclei (AGN's) that host inspiraling binaries can exhibit two sub-types of long-term secular variability patterns: Type-A events which dim before merger and brighten afterward, and Type-B events which brighten before merger and dim afterward. In both types the merger coincides with a long-lasting chromatic change of the AGN appearance. The sub-types correspond to the direction of angular momentum transfer between the binary and the disk, and could thus have correlated GW signatures if the gas-induced torque can be inferred from GW phase drift measurements by LISA. The long-term brightness trends are caused by steady weakening of the disk-binary torque that accompanies orbital decay, it induces a hysteresis effect whereby the disk "remembers" the history of the binary's contraction. We illustrate the effect using a reduced model problem of an axisymmetric thin disk subjected at its inner edge to the weakening torque of an inspiraling binary. The model problem yields a new class of self-similar disk solutions, which capture salient features of the multi-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations. We use these solutions to derive variable AGN disk emission signatures within years to decades of massive black hole binary mergers in AGN's. Spectral changes of Mrk 1018 might have been triggered by an inspiral-merger event.

Damage spreading and coupling in spin glasses and hard spheres

description: We study the connection between damage spreading, a phenomenon long discussed in the physics literature, and the coupling of Markov chains, a technique used to bound the mixing time. We discuss in parallel the Edwards-Anderson spin glass model and the hard-disk system, focusing on how coupling provides insights into the region of fast coupling within the paramagnetic and liquid phases. We also work out the connection between path coupling and damage spreading. Numerically, the scaling analysis of the mean coupling time determines a critical point between fast and slow couplings. The exact relationship between fast coupling and disordered phases has not been established rigorously, but we suggest that it will ultimately enhance our understanding of phase behavior in disordered systems.

title: The liberalism of Northrop Frye
Creators: name: Graham, Brian Russell
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

Subjects: subject: Philosophy, liberalism.

description: My thesis is a study of the liberalism of Northrop Frye. Frye believes that the process of matching an idea with its opposite effects a transcendence whereby 'an adversary relationship' is resolved 'not by reconciling both sides but by breaking clear of the antithesis into a new level' (NFLN6, p. 622), and this observation is deeply suggestive of the nature of Frye's liberal thinking. In my thesis I argue that Frye's liberalism is characterised by 'the dialectic': it represents a transcendence of the Left-Right opposition. Part I covers Frye's writings throughout the fifties, sixties and seventies. In Chapters 2, 3 and 4 I consider the three topics that dominate Frye's work in this period: the poetry of William Blake, secular 'imaginative' literature, and education and work. Frye's thinking, I argue, is a thoroughly liberal one because dialectical, in each case an attempt to transcend oppositional thinking. In Chapter 5 I go on to discuss Frye's desire to go beyond Left and Right in the political arena. Frye developed as a critic of culture, politics, society - and literature in relation to all of those against the backdrop of the Cold War, and his theory of politics is one which seeks to go beyond both what he terms 'laissez faire' and Communism. In Part II the focus shifts to Frye's work in the second half of the twentieth century. In Chapter 6 I return to Blake, secular literature and the university, giving an account of the radicals' view of these aspects of culture, before discussing Frye's attitude to the new cultural radicalism, which takes the form of a reassertion of his liberal thinking. In Chapter 7 I turn to Frye's consideration of the Bible, seeking to throw light on his liberal thinking within this context. Though Frye is not working against a clearly 'political' divide within this field, he is, I explain, still searching for a liberal ideal, and thinking dialectically. At this time Frye also returned to political issues, providing a second statement of his views of global politics, and I conclude this chapter with an account of Frye's attitude to the new unconstrained capitalism, where his attitude is decidedly liberal and dialectical once more. My thesis also offers an overarching examination of Frye's liberalism, brought out in Chapters 4 and 7. The terminus ad quern of Frye's secular thinking is the three ideals of the French revolution: liberty, equality, and fraternity. At the end of his career Frye turns systematically to Christianity and the Christian Bible. Like Blake, Frye sees no contradiction in such a combination of cultures. Indeed, his liberalism, I argue, is a matter of the combination of a liberal attitude to culture and a liberal approach to Scripture and Christianity. My thesis concludes with an Epilogue, in which I stand back and consider the larger historical context of Frye's liberal thinking, his 'liberal' literary criticism in particular.

description: If dark matter in the form of compact objects comprises a large fraction of the mass of the universe, then gravitational lensing effects on gamma-ray bursts are expected. We utilize BATSE and Ulysses data to search for lenses of different mass ranges, which cause lensing in the milli, pico, and femto regimes. Null results are used to set weak limits on the cosmological abundance of compact objects in mass ranges from 10$^{-16}$ to 10$^{-9}$ $M_{\odot} $. A stronger limit is found for a much discussed $Ω= 0.15$ universe dominated by black holes of masses $\sim 10^{6.5} M_{\odot}$, which is ruled out at the $\sim$ 90% confidence level.

description: We have made radio observations of 87 optically selected quasars at 5 GHz with the VLA in order to measure the radio power for these objects and hence determine how the fraction of radio-loud quasars varies with redshift and optical luminosity. The sample has been selected from the recently completed Edinburgh Quasar Survey and covers a redshift range of 0.3 < z < 1.5 and an optical absolute magnitude range of -26.5 < M_{B} < -23.5 (h, q_{0} = 1/2). We have also matched up other existing surveys with the FIRST and NVSS radio catalogues and combined these data so that the optical luminosity-redshift plane is now far better sampled than previously. We have fitted a model to the probability of a quasar being radio-loud as a function of absolute magnitude and redshift and from this model infer the radio-loud and radio-quiet optical luminosity functions. The radio-loud optical luminosity function is featureless and flatter than the radio-quiet one. It evolves at a marginally slower rate if quasars evolve by density evolution, but the difference in the rate of evolutions of the two different classes is much less than was previously thought. We show, using Monte-Carlo simulations, that the observed difference in the shape of the optical luminosity functions can be partly accounted for by Doppler boosting of the optical continuum of the radio-loud quasars and explain how this can be tested in the future.

description: The conventional Hamiltonian $H= p^2+ V_N(x)$, where the potential $V_N(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $N$, has been studied intensively since the birth of quantum mechanics. In some cases, its spectrum can be determined by combining the WKB method with resummation techniques. In this paper we point out that the deformed Hamiltonian $H=2 \cosh(p)+ V_N(x)$ is exactly solvable for any potential: a conjectural exact quantization condition, involving well-defined functions, can be written down in closed form, and determines the spectrum of bound states and resonances. In particular, no resummation techniques are needed. This Hamiltonian is obtained by quantizing the Seiberg-Witten curve of $\mathcal{N}=2$ Yang-Mills theory, and the exact quantization condition follows from the correspondence between spectral theory and topological strings, after taking a suitable four-dimensional limit. In this formulation, conventional quantum mechanics emerges in a scaling limit near the Argyres-Douglas superconformal point in moduli space. Although our deformed version of quantum mechanics is in many respects similar to the conventional version, it also displays new phenomena, like spontaneous parity symmetry breaking.
