description: Surface impedance is an important concept in classical wave systems such as photonic crystals (PCs). For example, the condition of an interface state formation in the interfacial region of two different one-dimensional PCs is simply Z_SL +Z_SR=0, where Z_SL (Z_SR)is the surface impedance of the semi-infinite PC on the left- (right-) hand side of the interface. Here, we also show a rigorous relation between the surface impedance of a one-dimensional PC and its bulk properties through the geometrical (Zak) phases of the bulk bands, which can be used to determine the existence or non-existence of interface states at the interface of the two PCs in a particular band gap. Our results hold for any PCs with inversion symmetry, independent of the frequency of the gap and the symmetry point where the gap lies in the Brillouin Zone. Our results provide new insights on the relationship between surface scattering properties, the bulk band properties and the formation of interface states, which in turn can enable the design of systems with interface states in a rational manner.

description: In the present work we discuss certain characteristic features encoded in some of the fundamental QCD Green's functions, whose origin can be traced back to the nonperturbative masslessness of the ghost field, in the Landau gauge. Specifically, the ghost loops that contribute to these Green's functions display infrared divergences, akin to those encountered in the perturbative treatment, in contradistinction to the gluonic loops, whose perturbative divergences are tamed by the dynamical generation of an effective gluon mass. In d=4, the aforementioned divergences are logarithmic, thus causing a relatively mild impact, whereas in d=3 they are linear, giving rise to enhanced effects. In the case of the gluon propagator, these effects do not interfere with its finiteness, but make its first derivative diverge at the origin, and introduce a maximum in the region of infrared momenta. The three-gluon vertex is also affected, and the induced divergent behavior is clearly exposed in certain special kinematic configurations, usually considered in lattice simulations; the sign of the corresponding divergence is unambiguously determined. The main underlying concepts are developed in the context of a simple toy model, which demonstrates clearly the interconnected nature of the various effects. The picture that emerges is subsequently corroborated by a detailed nonperturbative analysis, combining lattice results with the dynamical integral equations governing the relevant ingredients, such as the nonperturbative ghost loop and the momentum-dependent gluon mass.

description: For qubits, Monte Carlo estimation of the average fidelity of Clifford unitaries is efficient -- it requires a number of experiments that is independent of the number $n$ of qubits and classical computational resources that scale only polynomially in $n$. Here, we identify the requirements for efficient Monte Carlo estimation and the corresponding properties of the measurement operator basis when replacing two-level qubits by $p$-level qudits. Our analysis illuminates the intimate connection between mutually unbiased measurements and the existence of unitaries that can be characterized efficiently. It allows us to propose a 'hierarchy' of generalizations of the standard Pauli basis from qubits to qudits according to the associated scaling of resources required in Monte Carlo estimation of the average fidelity.

description: Che l'azione politica del Führer avesse a che fare con l'elaborazione di una visione del mondo simil-messianica, dal sentire teurgico, è stato segnalato da molti sin dalla pubblicazione, nel 1925, del Mein Kampf e, nel 1930, del "catechismo nazionalsocialista" di Alfred Rosenberg, Der Mythus des 20. Jahrhunderts. Tra gli uomini e le donne del mondo della scienza, della cultura e della religione seriamente preoccupati per le conseguenze provocate nella società tedesca dalla rapida e ampia diffusione di questi due saggi, va annoverto anche Max Josef Metzger (1874-1944), intellettuale e sacerdote cattolico, uno dei fondatori del movimento pacifista cristiano e dell'ecumenico cattolico.

description: An innovative concept of thin-film organic solid-state laser is proposed, with diffraction-limited output and a broad tuning range covering the visible spectrum under UV optical pumping. The laser beam is tunable over 230 nm, from 440 to 670 nm, with a 3 nm full width at half maximum typical spectral width. The structure consists of a compact fixed bulk optical cavity, a polymeric intracavity etalon for wavelength tuning, as well as five different disposable glass slides coated with a dye-doped polymer film, forming a very simple and low-cost gain medium. The use of interchangeable/disposable "gain capsules" is an alternative solution to photodegradation issues, since gain chips can be replaced without realignment of the cavity. The laser lifetime of a single chip in ambient conditions and without encapsulation was extrapolated to be around 107 pulses at a microjoule energy-per-pulse level.

Developing novel molecular contrast agents for imaging vulnerable plaques
Creators: name: Evans, Rhiannon Jane
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis describes the design, synthesis, and testing of novel MRI contrast agents based on iron oxide nanoparticles for the specific detection and identification of vulnerable plaque. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, primarily due to heart attacks and strokes resulting from vulnerable plaque rupture. Vulnerable plaque occurs in atherosclerosis, when plaque is deposited in the walls of blood vessels and can take on vulnerable or stable phenotypes. There is an urgent need for an imaging biomarker to enable the specific detection of vulnerable plaque to facilitate treatment and prevent future heart attacks and strokes. MRI is a non-ionising, non-invasive imaging modality with the potential for highly customisable contrast agents. Chapter 2 discusses the design and synthesis of a library of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle-based contrast agents through thermal decomposition and coating with different surface ligands, including poly (maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene), alendronate, and poly (ethyleneimine). The agents were characterised through transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential and relaxivity measurements. Chapter 3 presents the results of biological tests performed using the lead candidate from the synthesis carried out in chapter 2, including the coupling of a targeting antibody to the contrast agent, in vitro testing, and MR imaging in a preclinical model with histological verification of the results. Chapter 4 builds on the initial design and synthetic work of Chapter 2 with the introduction of a gold shell, moving towards multi-modality imaging. Several synthetic routes for the introduction of the gold shell and a selection of surface ligands including poly (maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecene), homocysteine, and citrate were studied, and characterised through transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential measurements. Chapter 5 summarises the conclusions of the project, presents potential areas for future work and concludes the thesis.

description: The introduction of femto-chemistry has made it a primary goal to follow the nuclear and electronic evolution of a molecule in time and space as it undergoes a chemical reaction. Using Coulomb Explosion Imaging we have shot the first high-resolution molecular movie of a to and fro isomerization process in the acetylene cation. So far, this kind of phenomenon could only be observed using VUV light from a Free Electron Laser [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 263002 (2010)]. Here we show that 266 nm ultrashort laser pulses are capable of initiating rich dynamics through multiphoton ionization. With our generally applicable tabletop approach that can be used for other small organic molecules, we have investigated two basic chemical reactions simultaneously: proton migration and C=C bond-breaking, triggered by multiphoton ionization. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with the timescales and relaxation pathways predicted by new and definitively quantitative ab initio trajectory simulations.
title: Derek Walcott and the apple of his island
Creators: name: Burnett, Paula
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 1998

description: An overview of Derek Walcott’s poetry and drama is provided in two parts, with Shakespeare’s Tempest providing epigraphs for each chapter and the theme of the whole. The argument is that, like Gonzalo’s vision of commonwealth which is likened to an apple to be taken home in the pocket, Walcott offers his art to the world as the fruit of a distinctively Caribbean vision, in the faith that language can help to bring into being that of which it speaks. The Rastafarian pronoun ‘I-an-I’ is used to figure a fresh approach to identity, recognizing both difference and similitude. Particular use is made of Walcott’s own exposition of his thinking in his essays, public appearances and interviews, including broadcasts and unpublished interviews with the author, included as appendices. The first part focuses on ideology, the second on craft. In the first, four chapters investigate themes of identity, place and history, and culminate in a reading of Walcott as a mythopoeic writer engaged in a more political aesthetic project of counter-discourse than is often recognized. In the second part, an initial chapter on language is followed by a series of more detailed analyses of the crafting of particular works. His use of mythopoeic imagery and of intertextuality in his poetry is discussed. Other chapters evaluate several plays, drawing on drafts, revisions, and some unpublished scripts, as well as on published texts. Overall, poems and plays are discussed on an equal basis, as a counter to the tendency for them to be considered as radically distinct areas of endeavour, when in fact they have been synchronic, mutually involved and reciprocally reinforcing throughout a long career. The picture of Walcott which emerges is of an epic poet of remarkable gifts, applied simultaneously to the current political and cultural project and to the celebration of his heritage of place, people and language
Microscopic description of intraband absorption in graphene: the occurrence of transient negative differential transmission

description: We present a microscopic explanation of the controversially discussed transient negative differential transmission observed in degenerate optical pump-probe measurements in graphene. Our approach is based on the density matrix formalism allowing a time- and momentum-resolved study of carrier-light, carrier-carrier, and carrier-phonon interaction on microscopic footing. We show that phonon-assisted optical intraband transitions give rise to transient absorption in the optically excited hot carrier system counteracting pure absorption bleaching of interband transitions. While interband transition bleaching is relevant in the first hundreds of fs after the excitation, intraband absorption sets in at later times. In particular, in the low excitation regime, these intraband absorption processes prevail over the absorption bleaching resulting in a zero-crossing of the differential transmission. Our findings are in good agreement with recent experimental pump-probe studies.

description: The study analyzed market integration of maize in the rural and urban markets of Oyo State, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to: determine the market integration of maize price series, ascertain the market that causes integration and identify the direction of causality in the rural and urban markets of Oyo State, Nigeria. Average monthly price series of maize spanning from January 2008 to December 2018 were collected and analyzed using Augmented Dicky Fuller test to test for stationarity, Johansen co-integration test to test for co-integration, Index of Market Concentration (IMC) to determine market integration as well as the Granger causality test to find out the market that causes integration. The result of ADF test showed that the price series were non-stationary at levels but became stationary after first differencing and the co-integration test revealed the presence of co-integration between the rural and urban market price of maize. The Index of Market Concentration was less than one (p≤0.05) which implies the existence of short-run market integration between rural and urban markets in the study area. Also, the result of Granger causality shows both uni-directional and bi-directional causalities between rural and urban markets in the study area. The study concludes that there were both short and long run market integration between rural and urban markets with uni-directional and bi-directional causalities between the stated markets in the study area and therefore recommended that, government should establish market information centres and awareness programmes on mass media to facilitate efficient information flow among maize producers and consumers in the state.

description: The direct hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol is an attractive approach to employ the greenhouse gas as a chemical feedstock. However, the commercial copper catalyst, used for methanol synthesis from CO-rich syngas, suffers from deactivation at elevated CO2 partial pressure. An emerging alternative is represented by In2O3 as it withstands the hydrothermal conditions induced by the reverse water-gas shift reaction. The active sites for the adsorption of CO2 and the subsequent conversion into methanol were shown to be oxygen vacancies on the surface of In2O3. In this study, N2O was utilized as a probe molecule to quantify the number of vacancies on indium oxide catalysts. The number of inserted oxygen atoms could be correlated to the respective CO2 hydrogenation activity. Furthermore, the atomic efficiency of indium was enhanced by applying atomic layer deposition of indium oxide on ZrO2.
Glycerophospholipid oxidation and production of aldehydes in oesophageal adenocarcinoma
Creators: name: Patel, Pranav Harshad
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) has an unmet clinical need, with five year survival in the UK remaining at 15%. There has been little improvement with advances in surgical practice or systemic chemotherapeutic regimens. Early diagnosis holds the key to radical treatment, the clinical utility of breath testing has highlighted aldehydes as a potential early marker of cancer. The emerging field of lipidomics has identified variations in lipid composition between cancer and benign tissue. These observed changes have highlighted phospholipids as particularly important class responsible for structural membrane stability, cell signalling and replication. In this research, multiple mass spectrometry techniques were implemented to identify and correlate lipid abundance with increased aldehyde quantitation. Desorption Electrospray Ionisation- Mass Spectrometry (DESI-MS) was utilised for lipid profiling in oesophageal adenocarcinoma tissue to reveal a prevalence of Phosphatidic acids (PA) and Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) species. Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis highlighted the PG pathway with significantly dysregulation and positive phenotype to PG production. The investigation of aldehydes was performed in vivo by lipid oxidation and corroborated in OAC tissue by a targeted Liquid Chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method. This identified medium and long chain aldehydes (Pentanal, Nonanal, Un-decanal) at particularly increased concentration. To investigate the lipid product correlation, the chemistry of lipid oxidation was defined and characterised. To explored the origin of the increased PA and PG a targeted LC-MS method was created and patient tissue and surface mucus samples were collected at paired sites. The analysis confirmed a relative increase of PAs and PGs in OAC tissue and mucus of representative intensities suggesting a correlation between mucus sampling and cell phospholipid concentration. These data highlight the Phospholipid products of a genetically dysregulated pathway in OAC, which may contribute to the production of unstable polyunsaturated lipids which are prone to oxidation and formation of aldehydes.

description: For the transition towards greener biorefineries with reduced waste, valorization of lignin to drop‐in chemicals instead of their combustion for energy purposes is a key issue for future processes. In this context, lignin should be extracted from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) and fragmented into smaller units, followed by catalytic funneling to fine chemicals. In this review, we report on the classical approaches for lignin valorization from LCB: thermal treatments, solvolytic valorization, acid‐catalyzed process, and base‐catalyzed process. We also provide the reader with the modern approach of lignin valorization that led to an integrated LCB biorefinery. The performance of different solid catalysts in lignin‐first approach via reductive or oxidative catalytic fractionation at different conditions is discussed in detail.

description: Cortisol is known as a stress biomarker. The measurement of cortisol levels is an early warning indicator for health conditions and diagnosis of stress-related diseases. Herein, a lateral flow immunoassay using a gold nanoparticle label with a silver enhancement system was developed for the simple, sensitive and rapid detection of cortisol. The developed assay was based on a competitive platform of which cortisol-BSA conjugate was immobilized at the test zone to compete with an analyte. The quantitative analysis was performed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as signal labeling. Sequentially, the silver enhancement solution was applied in order to enhance the sensitivity of the assay with the results easily seen by the naked eye. Using this system, the limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 0.5 ng/mL with a 3.6 fold more sensitive detection than without the enhancement system (LOD = 1.8 ng/mL). The salivary cortisol analysis was in the range of 0.5-150 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9984), which is in the clinical acceptable range. For the semi-quantitative analysis, the intensity color of the results was analyzed using an image processing program. The proposed method was successfully applied to detect cortisol in saliva.  In addition, the results from our method also complied with the ones of those obtained by using the commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). This developed assay offers great promise for a non-invasive screening test of salivary cortisol.

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Standard regularization methods that are used to compute solutions to ill-posed inverse problems require knowledge of the forward model. In many real-life applications, the forward model is not known, but training data is readily available. In this paper, we develop a new framework that uses training data, as a substitute for knowledge of the forward model, to compute an optimal low-rank regularized inverse matrix directly, allowing for very fast computation of a regularized solution. We consider a statistical framework based on Bayes and empirical Bayes risk minimization to analyze theoretical properties of the problem. We propose an efficient rank update approach for computing an optimal low-rank regularized inverse matrix for various error measures. Numerical experiments demonstrate the benefits and potential applications of our approach to problems in signal and image processing.

description: Advanced metal–sulfur batteries (MSBs) are regarded as promising next‐generation energy storage devices. Recently, engineering polysulfide redox catalysts (PSRCs) to stabilize and catalytically convert polysulfide intermediates is proposed as an effective strategy to address the grand challenge of “shuttle effects” in the cathode. Therefore, modulating the bond interactions and interface microenvironments and disclosing the structure–performance correlations between polysulfide and catalysts are essential to guide the future cathode design in MSBs. Herein, from a multidisciplinary view, the most recent process in the reaction principles, in situ characterizations, bond interaction modulation, and interface microenvironment optimization of polysulfide redox catalysts, is comprehensively summarized. Especially, unique insights are provided into the strategies for tailoring the bond interactions of PSRCs, such as heteroatom doping, vacancy engineering, heterostructure, coordination structure arrangements, and crystal phase modulation. Furthermore, the importance of interface microenvironments and substrate effects in different PSRCs are exposed, and a detailed comparison is given to unveil the critical parameters for their future developments. Finally, the critical design principles on electrode microenvironments for advanced MSBs are also proposed to stimulate the practically widespread utilization of PSRCs‐equipped cathodes in MSBs. Overall, this review provides cutting‐edge guidance for future developments in high‐energy‐density and long‐life MSBs.

description: To satisfy the continuous demand of ever smaller feature sizes, plasma etching technologies in microelectronics processing enable the fabrication of device structures with dimensions in the nanometer range. In a typical plasma etching system a plasma phase of a selected etching gas is activated, thereby generating highly energetic and reactive gas species which ultimately etch the substrate surface. Such dry etching processes are highly complex and require careful adjustment of many process parameters to meet the high technology requirements on the structure geometry.  In this context, real-time access of the structure's dimensions during the actual plasma process would be of great benefit by providing full dimension control and film integrity in real-time. In this paper, we evaluate the feasibility of reconstructing the etched dimensions with nanometer precision from reflectivity spectra of the etched surface, which are measured in real-time throughout the entire etch process. We develop and test a novel and fast reconstruction algorithm, using experimental reflection spectra taken about every second during the etch process of a periodic 2D model structure etched into a silicon substrate.  Unfortunately, the numerical simulation of the reflectivity by Maxwell solvers is time consuming since it requires separate time-harmonic computations for each wavelength of the spectrum. To reduce the computing time, we propose that a library of spectra should be generated before the etching process. Each spectrum should correspond to a vector of geometry parameters s.t.the vector components  scan the possible range of parameter values for the geometrical dimensions. We demonstrate that by replacing the numerically simulated spectra in the reconstruction algorithm by spectra interpolated from the library, it is possible to compute the geometry parameters in times less than a second. Finally, to also reduce memory size and computing time for the

description: La rappresentazione della vita di Gesù Cristo è entrata nel repertorio cinematografico sin dai primordi e costituisce un filo rosso con il quale molti grandi registi si sono voluti confrontare: dalle brevi scene della prima epoca del muto arriviamo sino al controverso The Passion of the Christ di Mel Gibson, passando attraverso le esperienze di maestri del calibro di Luis Buñuel, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Roberto Rossellini, Franco Zeffirelli, Martin Scorsese. Ognuno di questi registi ha "messo in scena" Gesù Cristo, delineato le sue fattezze, immaginato quelle di coloro che lo incontrarono e l'ambiente storico-culturale nel quale vissero i protagonisti di quel tempo.

description: One of the main, unresolved questions about the nature of quasars is the position of the acceleration site responsible for the highest energies. The attempt to investigate this question in the energy regime with the highest resolution, the radio band, has the downside that no theoretical model exists that can connect these two regimes. The model in this work tries to shrink this gap by extending the general synchrotron self Compton (SSC) model up to length scales in the order of the resolution of radio observations. The resulting spectral energy distributions (SED) show a qualitative improvement in the representation of the radio spectrum. Furthermore the obtained emission morphology shows similar properties to the radio structures observed in jets of quasars. A complete and quantitative connection will however need either much higher numerical effort or an improved methodology.

description: Optical biosensors are probably the most popular in bioanalysis due to their selectivity and sensitivity. Among them, fluorescence lifetime detection is expected to enhance the reliability of biomolecular interaction assays as it is an intrinsic determination of the fluorescence. Fluorescence lifetime can be used for pathogen detection or in DNA assays, which is of utmost importance primarily for health and safety reasons in the food industry, water and environment quality control and clinical diagnosis. Lifetime measurements can be done by time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC), implemented by repeatedly stimulating a fluorophore and recording the time until the first emitted photon is detected by a sensor. It is usually performed with expensive and bulky picosecond lasers to excite the sample, photomultiplier tubes or avalanche photodiodes to detect the emitted light, and photon counting modules. Our device is operated in TCSPC with a conventional and low cost laser diode, which is driven by off-the-shelf electronics with sub-nanosecond fall times, a CMOS chip featuring a linear array of ultra-sensitive avalanche photodiodes (APD) working in Geiger mode, a microfluidic channel on top of the CMOS chip (Polydimethylsiloxane), and a low cost FPGA processing the data coming from the detector. An optical filter is not needed because we control accurately the switch-off time of the laser pulse just a few picoseconds before the detector is habilitated for sensing. At the same time, the proximity of the sample and the APD sensors makes unnecessary the use of lenses. We have developed a lifetime fluorescence detection system, which is simple, miniaturized and cost effective. This new technology is being developed to build a PoC (Point of Care) device for molecular diagnosis. The system was tested with several concentrations of fluorescent quantum dots (QDOT 605 from Life Technologies), having a lifetime of 35ns. Measurement times were only 15 seconds.

description: Thin‐walled cylindrical shells often exhibit buckling failure and the experimental buckling load is usually lower than calculation results from classical theory and simulation without geometrical imperfection. Besides, test results with carefully conducted similar specimens still have substantial scatter due to imperfection sensitivity. The nonlinear analysis with FEM can obtain a high‐precision result comparing the experiment. However, this is almost impossible in practical engineering. The initial geometric imperfections of cylindrical shells are complex and random properties. Theoretically, these geometric imperfections can be described using a random field or a Fourier series representation. After that a random sample of the buckling bearing capacity of the cylindrical shell can be obtained using the stochastic finite element method within the subsequent analysis. This paper presents the investigation of buckling analysis of cylindrical shells under axial compression considering the randomness of initial geometric imperfections, and the stochastic FEM is employed to calculate the statistical sample of the shell‐buckling load based on a series of random fields and Fourier series representation of geometric imperfections.

description: Based on constructive interference in Sagnac waveguide loop, an efficient scheme is proposed for selective frequency conversion and multifrequency modes W entanglement via input-output formalism. We can adjust the probability amplitudes of output photons by choosing parameter values properly. The tunable probability amplitude will lead to the generation of output photon with a selectable frequency and W photonic entanglement of different frequencies modes in a wide range of parameter values. Our calculations show the present scheme is robust to the deviation of parameters and spontaneous decay.
