description: Increased expression and nuclear translocation of β-CATENIN is frequently observed in breast cancer, and it correlates with poor prognosis. Current treatment strategies targeting β-CATENIN are not as efficient as desired. Therefore, detailed understanding of β-CATENIN regulation is crucial. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) and Wingless/Integrated (WNT) pathway crosstalk is well-studied for many cancer types including colorectal cancer, whereas it is still poorly understood for breast cancer. Analysis of breast cancer patient data revealed that BMP2 and BMP6 were significantly downregulated in tumors. Since mutation frequency in genes enhancing β-CATENIN protein stability is relatively low in breast cancer, we aimed to investigate whether decreased BMP ligand expression could contribute to a high protein level of β-CATENIN in breast cancer cells. We demonstrated that downstream of BMP stimulation, SMAD4 is required to reduce β-CATENIN protein stability through the phosphorylation in MCF7 and T47D cells. Consequently, BMP stimulation reduces β-CATENIN levels and prevents its nuclear translocation and target gene expression in MCF7 cells. Conversely, BMP stimulation has no effect on β-CATENIN phosphorylation or stability in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. Likewise, SMAD4 modulation does not alter the response of those cells, indicating that SMAD4 alone is insufficient for BMP-induced β-CATENIN phosphorylation. While our data suggest that considering BMP activity may serve as a prognostic marker for understanding β-CATENIN accumulation risk, further investigation is needed to elucidate the differential responsiveness of breast cancer cell lines.

description: Spin longitudinal and transverse response function are studied by means of the relativistic many-body theory. The spin response functions in the relativistic theory are largely reduced from those in the non-relativistic theory. The local density approximation with the eikonal approximation is applied to the the nuclear absorption in the $(\vec{p},\vec{n})$ reactions on C and Ca.

description: We investigate the impact of cosmic rays (CRs) on galactic outflows from a multi-phase interstellar medium with solar neighbourhood conditions. The three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamical simulations include CRs as a relativistic fluid in the advection-diffusion approximation. The thermal and chemical state of the ISM is computed with a non-equilibrium chemical network. We find that CRs (injected with 10 \% of the supernova energy) efficiently support the launching of outflows and strongly affect their phase structure. Outflows leaving the midplane are denser ($ρ\sim 10^{-26}\,\mathrm{g\,cm}^{-3}$), colder ($\sim 10^4\,\mathrm{K}$), and slower ($\sim 30\,\mathrm{km\,s}^{-1}$) if CRs are considered in addition to thermal SNe. The CR supported outflows are also smoother, in particular at larger heights ($> 1\,\mathrm{kpc}$ above the midplane) without the direct impact of SN explosions. Approximately $5\% - 25\%$ of the injected CR energy is lost via hadronic cooling. Smaller diffusion coefficients lead to slightly larger hadronic losses but allow for steeper CR pressure gradients, stronger outflows and larger accelerations. Up to a height of $z \sim1\,\mathrm{kpc}$ there are large volumes in approximate pressure equilibrium between thermal and CR component. At larger altitudes the CR pressure is $10-100$ times as large as the thermal counterpart. More than $\sim 1\,\mathrm{kpc}$ away from the midplane, CRs provide the dominant gas acceleration mechanism.

Impact Crater Formation on the Icy Galilean Satellites
Creators: name: Bray, Veronica Josefine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The possible existence of liquid water beneath the ice crusts of Ganymede and Europa makes these bodies of great scientific interest as the accessibility of the oceans has implications for astrobiology and future human exploration of the solar system. Study of the cratering trends on these bodies provides one means of assessing the depth of the ice layer above the subsurface oceans. This work combines observational and numerical modelling data to develop a quantitative model for impact cratering in pure H2O ice. Topographic profiles of craters on Ganymede are presented and used to construct scaling trends, which are then compared to similar trends for the Moon and Mars in order to assess differences in the cratering process in rock, ice and ice-rock mixes. The progression of central peak and central pit crater morphology as crater diameter increases, is used to develop a paradigm for central peak collapse and pit formation on Ganymede. These observed cratering trends are used to test the results of hydrocode simulation of impact cratering. These simulations were used to determine an appropriate material strength model, and its specific parameters, for the simulation of impact crater formation in un-layered ice. This optimal strength model is then applied to impact cratering in a layered ice and water target. The results from this numerical modelling are compared to the Europan cratering trends and used to estimate the thickness of Europa’s ice crust.

description: Thanks to the advances in machine learning, data-driven analysis tools have become valuable solutions for various applications. However, there still remain essential challenges to develop effective data-driven methods because of the need to acquire a large amount of data and to have sufficient computing power to handle the data. In many instances these challenges are addressed by relying on a dominant cloud computing vendor, but, although commercial cloud vendors provide valuable platforms for data analytics, they can suffer from a lack of transparency, security, and privacy-perservation. Furthermore, reliance on cloud servers prevents applying big data analytics in environments where the computing power is scattered. To address these challenges, a decentralize, secure, and privacy-preserving computing paradigm is proposed to enable an asynchronized cooperative computing process amongst scattered and untrustworthy computing nodes that may have limited computing power and computing intelligence. This paradigm is designed by exploring blockchain, decentralized learning, homomorphic encryption, and software defined networking(SDN) techniques. The performance of the proposed paradigm is evaluated via different scenarios in the simulation section.

Conformal anomaly of (2,0) tensor multiplet in six dimensions and AdS/CFT correspondence

description: We compute the conformal anomaly of free d=6 superconformal (2,0) tensor multiplet on generic curved background. Up to a trivial covariant total-derivative term, it is given by the sum of the type A part proportional to the 6-d Euler density, and the type B part containing three independent Weyl invariants. Multiplied by factor 4N^3, the type B part of the anomaly reproduces exactly the corresponding part of the conformal anomaly of large N multiple M5-brane (2,0) theory as predicted (hep-th/9806087) by the AdS/CFT correspondence. The coefficients of the type A anomaly differ by the factor 4/7 x 4 N^3, so that the free tensor multiplet anomaly does not vanish on a Ricci-flat background. The coefficient 4N^3 is the same as found (hep-th/9703040) in the comparison of the tensor multiplet theory and the d=11 supergravity results for the absorption cross-sections of gravitons by M5 branes, and in the comparison (hep-th/9911135) of 2- and 3-point stress tensor correlators of the free tensor multiplet with the AdS_7 supergravity predictions. The reason for this coincidence is that the three Weyl-invariant terms in the anomaly are related to the $h^2$ and $h^3$ terms in the near flat space expansion of the corresponding non-local effective action, and thus to the 2-point and 3-point stress tensor correlators in flat background. At the same time, the type A anomaly is related to the $h^4$ term in the non-local part of the effective action, i.e. to a certain structure in the 4-point correlation function of stress tensors.

description: Many emerging alternative models of computation require massive numbers of random bits, but their generation at low energy is currently a challenge. The superparamagnetic tunnel junction, a spintronic device based on the same technology as spin torque magnetoresistive random access memory has recently been proposed as a solution, as this device naturally switches between two easy to measure resistance states, due only to thermal noise. Reading the state of the junction naturally provides random bits, without the need of write operations. In this work, we evaluate a circuit solution for reading the state of superparamagnetic tunnel junction. We see that the circuit may induce a small read disturb effect for scaled superparamagnetic tunnel junctions, but this effect is naturally corrected in the whitening process needed to ensure the quality of the generated random bits. These results suggest that superparamagnetic tunnel junctions could generate truly random bits at 20 fJ/bit, including overheads, orders of magnitudes below CMOS-based solutions.

Phylogenetic approaches for studying competition in mammals
Creators: name: Cooper, Natalie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Interspecific competition is often proposed to shape mammalian evolution. Many studies use trait and distribution data on extant species, but this ignores temporal aspects of competition. Phylogeny provides a framework for integrating present-day data with clade histories. Here, I use phylogenetic comparative methods and present-day data to investigate the role of competition in the evolution of four mammalian clades: New World leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae), New World monkeys (Platyrrhini), Australasian possums (Phalangeriformes), and ground squirrels (Marmotini). I ask four specific questions: (1) Do community phylogenies, and/or the traits of community members, show patterns expected under competition? (2) Is there evidence of competition in the relationship among species’ trait differences, phylogenetic differences and patterns of coexistence? (3) Does the intensity of competition affect rates of morphological evolution? (4) Are the tempo and/or mode of mammalian body size evolution influenced by competition? I found evidence for competition in monkeys and squirrels, but not bats or possums. Competition did not influence rates of morphological evolution; instead body mass was the most important correlate across the groups. Across all mammals, the best-supported model of body size evolution corresponded to a scenario in which mammals experienced a relatively early burst of morphological evolution, followed by a slowdown in rate as competition for niches increased. In addition, around 60% of the variation in the tempo of body-mass evolution was explained by just a few predictors. In conclusion, I find some support for competition shaping mammalian evolution. However, there is evidence that the importance of other processes may outweigh the effects of competition in some groups. Further study and methodological improvements are required to fully understand the relative role of competition in evolution. The methods developed in this thesis provide a useful starting point for such studies.

description: meso-Tetrahexylporphyrin was converted to its corresponding 7,8-dihydroxychlorin using an osmium tetroxide-mediated dihydroxylation strategy. Its diol moiety was shown to be able to undergo a number of subsequent oxidation reactions to form a chlorin dione and porpholactone, the first meso-alkylporphyrin-based porphyrinoid containing a non-pyrrolic building block. Further, the diol chlorin was shown to be susceptible to dehydration, forming the porphyrin enol that is in equilibrium with its keto-chlorin form. The meso-hexylchlorin dione could be reduced and it underwent mono- and bis-methylation reactions using methyl-Grignard reagents, and trifluoromethylation using the Ruppert-Prakash reagent. The optical and spectroscopic properties of the products are discussed and contrasted to their corresponding meso-aryl derivatives (where known). This contribution establishes meso-tetrahexyl-7,8-dihydroxychlorins as a new and versatile class of chlorins that is susceptible to a broad range of conversions to generate functionalized chlorins and a pyrrole-modified chlorin analogue.
Segmentation of the Left Atrium and Pulmonary Veins from Contrast-Enhanced MR Images
Creators: name: Karim, Rashed
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: Atrial brillation is an important cardiovascular disease causing cardiac malfunction. The left atrium and pulmonary veins are the structures most a ected. Radio-frequency catheter ablation has now become a standard procedure for correcting atrial brillation. The procedure is minimally invasive and pre-planning the procedure is essential. It is normally required to image the atrium. Segmentation of the left atrium and pulmonary veins from medical images is an important problem and a necessary step for further analysing the left atrium. This dissertation describes techniques for segmenting the left atrium from MR angiography images. It also describes methods for extracting sub-atrial structures of the atrium such as the central atrial body and pulmonary veins. As pulmonary veins of the left atrium have complex vessel networks, the centrelines of these vessels are extracted allowing for better visualisation and compact representation. Furthermore, the dissertation describes a framework for analysing the atrium. The pulmonary drainage trees are reconstructed using graph structures. Important atrial characteristics relevant to catheter ablation procedures are quanti ed. These include atrial anatomy and ostial diameters. The methods described in the dissertation are evaluated on real patient datasets and compared against manual approaches. A comparative study of the proposed left atrium segmentation algorithm with an existing approach showed that the proposed approach yields better segmentations. Furthermore, results show that the proposed techniques for pulmonary drainage reconstruction correctly compute and classify atrial anatomy in the majority of cases. The computation of ostial diameters also show close agreement with gold-standard measurements. A series of studies performed to investigate the e ect of user parameters on the quality of i segmentation and measurements obtained show reproducibility of results. It is envisaged that the methods proposed will improve the e cacy of catheter ablation by providing useful and accurate atrial characteristics and information.

description: The paper explores the phenomenon of anonymous news channels on Russian Telegram, which have become increasingly popular in recent years. Drawing on 25 self-confrontation interviews, we answer the following questions: Do users trust anonymous news? If not, why do they keep using this information source? How does a restrictive socio-political context influence users’ trust in alternative news sources? Our results show that, in Russia, the concept of trust is linked to the normative democratic understanding of journalistic functions. At the same time, many users believe that trust in media is not at all necessary and develop individual strategies to navigate a “chaos of narratives”. The paper discusses Telegram’s role in shaping trust or distrust in news.

description: We show that requiring the quark partition function to be color singlet of SU(3) color gauge group leads to reordering the thermodynamic potential in terms of the colorless multi-quark modes ($q{\bar q}, qqq, {\bar q}{\bar q}{\bar q}, ...$) at any given temperature. In accord with the "preconfinement" property of QCD, under a suitable confining mechanism, these could evolve into color singlet hadrons/baryons at low temperatures. At fairly high temperatures these multi-quark color singlet structures propagate in the plasma like hadronic modes, just as in the more familiar low temperature phase. This suggests that there exists a strong correlation in the plasma at all temperatures which is in conformity with lattice results.

An epistemic interpretation of quantum probability via contextuality

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018

subject: 81P13, 81P05

description: According to a standard view, quantum mechanics (QM) is a contextual theory and quantum probability does not satisfy Kolmogorov's axioms. We show, by considering the macroscopic contexts associated with measurement procedures and the microscopic contexts (mu-contexts) underlying them, that one can interpret quantum probability as epistemic, despite its non-Kolmogorovian structure. To attain this result we introduce a predicate language L(x), a classical probability measure on it and a family of classical probability measures on sets of mu contexts, each element of the family corresponding to a (macroscopic) measurement procedure. By using only Kolmogorovian probability measures we can thus define mean conditional probabilities on the set of properties of any quantum system that admit an epistemic interpretation but are not bound to satisfy Kolmogorov's axioms. The generalized probability measures associated with states in QM can then be seen as special cases of these mean probabilities, which explains how they can be non-classical and provides them with an epistemic interpretation. Moreover, the distinction between compatible and incompatible properties is explained in a natural way, and purely theoretical classical conditional probabilities coexist with empirically testable quantum conditional probabilities.

Multiscale modelling of biorefineries
Creators: name: Hosseini, Seyed Ali
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Current fuel ethanol research deals with process engineering trends for improving the efficiency of bioethanol production. This thesis is devoted to modelling and optimisation of the lignocellulosic to bioethanol conversion process with a special emphasis on pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis units. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment process. A multiscale model for a pretreatment process is developed. This considers both the chemical and physical natures of the process. A new mechanism for hydrolysis of hemicellulose is proposed in which the reactivity is function of position in the hemicellulose chain and all the bonds with same position undergo breakage at the same time. A method to find the optimum chip size for pretreatment has been developed. We show that with the proposed optimization method, an average saving equivalent to a 5% improvement in the yield of biomass to ethanol conversion process can be achieved. In the second part of this thesis a new approach to consider the evolution of cellulose chain length during the enzymatic hydrolysis by endo- and exoglucanase is developed. This employs a population balance approach. Having established the models for the action of endo- and exoglucanase, a universal model for cellulose hydrolysis at the biomass surface and inside the particle is developed. An experimental procedure to locate unknown parameters in the holistic model is proposed. The third part of this thesis integrates the models developed into a rigorous mass and energy balances of typical biorefinery. It was found that, most of the energy input is for pretreatment and distillation. Two process modifications are considered capable of reducing the energy requirement for pretreatment and distillation by almost 50%. It is shown that with process optimization and some alternative design it is possible to save 21% of plant energy requirement. Finally, the novel features and advantages of the work are discussed, as are potential areas for future research.

description: We describe key elements of the perturbative similarity renormalization group procedure for Hamiltonians using two, third-order examples: phi^3 interaction term in the Hamiltonian of scalar field theory in 6 dimensions and triple-gluon vertex counterterm in the Hamiltonian of QCD in 4 dimensions. These examples provide insight into asymptotic freedom in Hamiltonian approach to quantum field theory. The renormalization group procedure also suggests how one may obtain ultraviolet-finite effective Schrödinger equations that correspond to the asymptotically free theories, including transition from quark and gluon to hadronic degrees of freedom in case of strong interactions. The dynamics is invariant under boosts and allows simultaneous analysis of bound state structure in the rest and infinite momentum frames.

description: Fluctuation relations are powerful equalities that hold far from equilibrium. However, the standard approach to include measurement and feedback schemes may become inapplicable in certain situations, including continuous measurements, precise measurements of continuous variables, and feedback induced irreversibility. Here we overcome these shortcomings by providing a recipe for producing detailed fluctuation relations. Based on this recipe, we derive a fluctuation relation which holds for arbitrary measurement and feedback control. The key insight is that fluctuations inferable from the measurement outcomes may be suppressed by post-selection. Our detailed fluctuation relation results in a stringent and experimentally accessible inequality on the extractable work, which is saturated when the full entropy production is inferable from the data.

description: We study boundary reflection matrix for the quantum field theory defined on a half line using Feynman's perturbation theory. The boundary reflection matrix can be extracted directly from the two-point correlation function.

description: Electrochemical fluorination on nickel anodes, also known as the Simons’ process, is an important fluorination method used on an industrial scale. Despite its success, the mechanism is still under debate. One of the proposed mechanisms involves higher valent nickel species formed on an anode acting as effective fluorinating agents. Here we report the first attempt to study fluorination by means of first principles investigation. We have identified a possible surface model from the simplest binary nickel fluoride (NiF2). A twice oxidized NiF2(F2) (001) surface exhibits higher valent nickel centers and a fluorination source that can be best characterized as an [F2]− like unit, readily available to aid fluorination. We have studied the adsorption of CH4 and the co-adsorption of CH4 and HF on this surface by means of periodic density functional theory. By the adsorption of CH4, we found two main outcomes on the surface. Unreactive physisorption of CH4 and dissociative chemisorption resulting in the formation of CH3F and HF. The co-adsorption with the HF gave rise to four main outcomes, namely the formation of CH3F, CH2F2, CH3 radical, and also physisorbed CH4.

One-loop Renormalization of Black Hole Entropy Due to Non-minimally Coupled Matter

Year: 1995

description: The quantum entanglement entropy of an eternal black hole is studied. We argue that the relevant Euclidean path integral is taken over fields defined on $α$-fold covering of the black hole instanton. The statement that divergences of the entropy are renormalized by renormalization of gravitational couplings in the effective action is proved for non-minimally coupled scalar matter. The relationship of entanglement and thermodynamical entropies is discussed.

The mechanisms of wet clutch friction behaviour
Creators: name: Ingram, Marc Philip
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Wet clutches are used in automatic transmissions to bring about gear changes and also to reduce energy loss in the torque converter. These friction devices are susceptible to stick-slip effects, which result in the vehicle giving an unsteady ride. Stick-slip effects can be avoided by ensuring the wet clutch and lubricant combination produces a friction coefficient that increases with sliding speed. This friction characteristic is achieved by using a specific material on one of the two clutch surfaces and by using certain surface active chemicals, which are added to the lubricant. Although wet clutches have been studied throughout the industry for many decades, the mechanism of the generated friction is still not fully understood. In this thesis the friction mechanisms are clarified by the experimental study of the wet clutch in terms of its real area of contact, its flash temperatures and the friction characteristics, which are measured over a broad range of conditions. These results are used along with theoretical calculations to first clarify the lubrication regime, which is found to be predominantly boundary due to the roughness of the friction material and the small size of the contact units formed. The generated friction is then attributed to surface active additives, which form solid-like films on the clutch surfaces. These friction characteristics can be modified by varying the nature of the solid-like film, and when a close-packed film is formed, this displays the friction increasing with speed characteristic due to an activated shearing mechanism, which is linked to the speed of molecular rearrangement at the surface.

description: We describe PyRaTE, a new, non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) line radiative transfer code developed specifically for post-processing astrochemical simulations. Population densities are estimated using the escape probability method. When computing the escape probability, the optical depth is calculated towards all directions with density, molecular abundance, temperature and velocity variations all taken into account. A very easy-to-use interface, capable of importing data from simulations outputs performed with all major astrophysical codes, is also developed. The code is written in Python using an `embarrassingly parallel' strategy and can handle all geometries and projection angles. We benchmark the code by comparing our results with those from RADEX (van der Tak et al. 2007) and against analytical solutions and present case studies using hydrochemical simulations. The code is available on GitHub (https://github.com/ArisTr/PyRaTE).

description: Multiplicity fluctuations of intermediate-mass fragments are studied with the percolation model. It is shown that super-Poissonian fluctuations occur near the percolation transition and that this behavior is associated with the fragmentative nature of the percolation model.

description: Citrate-coated electrostatically stabilized very small superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (VSOPs) have been successfully tested as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) contrast agents and are promising tools for molecular imaging of atherosclerosis. Their repeated use in the background of pre-existing hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis has not yet been studied. This study aimed to investigate the effect of multiple intravenous injections of VSOPs in atherosclerotic mice. Taurine-formulated VSOPs (VSOP-T) were repeatedly intravenously injected at 100 µmol Fe/kg in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE KO) mice with diet-induced atherosclerosis. Angiographic imaging was carried out by in vivo MRI. Magnetic particle spectrometry was used to detect tissue VSOP content, and tissue iron content was quantified photometrically. Pathological changes in organs, atherosclerotic plaque development, and expression of hepatic iron-related proteins were evaluated. VSOP-T enabled the angiographic imaging of heart and blood vessels with a blood half-life of one hour. Repeated intravenous injection led to VSOP deposition and iron accumulation in the liver and spleen without affecting liver and spleen pathology, expression of hepatic iron metabolism proteins, serum lipids, or atherosclerotic lesion formation. Repeated injections of VSOP-T doses sufficient for MRA analyses had no significant effects on plaque burden, steatohepatitis, and iron homeostasis in atherosclerotic mice. These findings underscore the safety of VSOP-T and support its further development as a contrast agent and molecular imaging tool.
