Functional neuroimaging: a sparse modelling approach
Creators: name: Yan, Shulin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Developments in technology have enabled scientists to study brain function in an unprecedented way. Functional neuroimaging is the use of neuroimaging technologies to capture information about the state of a brain, with the goal of studying the relationship between mental functions and brain activity. One such technology is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which produces a signal that can be used to create cross-sectional images of the brain. These images can be used to measure brain activity in different sections of the brain. In fMRI recording there is a tradeoff between spatial and temporal resolution. My first contribution in this thesis is to present a novel algorithm for generating cross-sectional images. This is a signal processing problem with high dimensionality, but few measurements. My algorithm uses ideas from sparse modelling because variations in functional MR images are sparse over time in the wavelet domain. It will enable high resolution images to be generated using fewer measurements. Sequences of functional MR images are recorded while subjects perform different tasks. The second contribution of this thesis is a machine learning technique to predict different tasks from the captured fMRI sequences. Existing methods perform poorly at this prediction task due to the curse of dimensionality. I overcome this problem by designing a novel sparse modelling method based on the assumption that the active brain region in response to a target task is sparse in the whole brain area. The final contribution to this thesis is the design of different assessment criteria for selecting the most relevant voxels to interpret the neural activity. The conventional selection method uses the assessment of predictive performance, resulting in many false positive selections due to the small number of samples. To overcome this problem, I introduce the concept of stability. My method selects the relevant voxels using the assessments of both predictive performance and stability, which significantly reduces the selection error while maintaining the predictive performance.

description: Elastic nucleon scattering from the 3He and 3H mirror nuclei is examined as a test of charge symmetry violation. The differential cross-sections are calculated at 500 MeV using a microsopic, momentum-space optical potential including the full coupling of two spin 1/2 particles and an exact treatment of the Coulomb force. The charge-symmetry-breaking effects investigated arise from a violation within the nuclear structure, from the p-nucleus Coulomb force, and from the mass-differences of the charge symmetric states. Measurements likely to reveal reliable information are noted.

Discovery of z=0.0912 and z=0.2212 Damped Lyman-alpha Absorption Line Systems Toward the Quasar OI 363: Limits on the Nature of Damped Lyman-alpha Galaxies

description: The discovery of a z_abs = 0.0912 damped Lyman-alpha absorption-line system in the HST-FOS ultraviolet spectrum of the quasar OI 363 (0738+313) is reported. This is the lowest redshift quasar damped Lyman-alpha system known. Its neutral hydrogen column density is N(HI) = 1.5(+/- 0.2) E21 atoms/cm^2, which easily exceeds the classical criterion for damped Lyman-alpha of N(HI) greater than or equal to 2E20 atoms/cm^2. Remarkably, a z_abs = 0.2212 damped system with N(HI) = 7.9(+/- 1.4) E20 atoms/cm^2 has also been discovered in the same spectrum. In the past, the standard paradigm for damped Lyman-alpha systems has been that they arise in galactic or protogalactic HI disks with low impact parameters in luminous galaxies. However, WIYN imaging of the OI 363 field shows that none of the galaxies visible in the vicinity of the quasar is a luminous gas-rich spiral with low impact parameter, either at z = 0.0912 or z = 0.2212. Thus, these damped systems are among the clearest examples yet of cases that are inconsistent with the standard damped Lyman-alpha - HI-disk paradigm.

description: The Faddeev equations are solved in momentum space for the trinucleon bound state with the new Tucson-Melbourne $π$ and $ρ$ exchange three-nucleon potentials. The three-nucleon potentials are combined with a variety of realistic two-nucleon potentials. The dependence of the triton binding energy on the $πNN$ cut-off parameter in the three-nucleon potentials is studied and found to be reduced compared to the case with pure $π$ exchange. The $ρ$ exchange parts of the three-nucleon potential yield an overall repulsive effect. When the recommended parameters are employed, the calculated triton binding energy turns out to be very close to its experimental value. Expectation values of various components of the three-nucleon potential are given to illustrate their significance for binding.

description: Context. Most of our knowledge on the stellar component of galaxies is based on the analysis of distant systems and comes from integrated light data. It is important to test whether the results of the star formation histories (SFH) obtained with standard full-spectrum fitting methods are in agreement with those obtained through colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) fitting (usually considered the most reliable approach). Aims. We compare SFHs recovered from both techniques in Leo~A, a Local Group dwarf galaxy whose majority of stars formed during the last 8 Gyrs. This complements our previous findings in a field in the Large Magellanic Cloud bar, where star formation has been on-going since early epochs though at varying rates. Methods. We have used GTC/OSIRIS in long-slit mode to obtain a high-quality integrated light spectrum by scanning a selected region within Leo~A, for which a CMD reaching the old main mequence turn-off (oMSTO) is available from HST. We compared the SFH obtained from the two datasets, using state-of-art methods of integrated light ({\tt STECKMAP}) and resolved stellar population analysis. In the case of the CMD, we computed the SFH both from a deep CMD (observed with HST/ACS), and from a shallower one (archival data from HST/WFPC2). Results. The agreement between the SFHs recovered from the oMSTO CMD and from full spectrum fitting is remarkable, particularly regarding the time evolution of the star formation rate. The overall extremely low metallicity of Leo~A is recovered up to the last 2 Gyrs, when some discrepancies appear. A relatively high metallicity found for the youngest stars from the integrated data is a recurring feature that might indicate that the current models or synthesis codes should be revised, but that can be significantly mitigated using a more restrictive metallicity range...

Mechanisms of vascular protection in chronic inflammatory disease

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) complicates chronic systemic inflammatory disease, and is initiated by endothelial dysfunction. Despite an ever-improving array of medications to treat these diseases, how to prevent CVD is not known. Studying the actions of endogenous mediators of endothelial cytoprotection and of disease-modifying drugs might establish how best to protect patients with systemic inflammatory diseases from atherosclerosis, if specific beneficial effects on vascular endothelium could be demonstrated. High flow laminar shear stress (LSS) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are two well known endogenous drivers of endothelial cytoprotection. Both can induce expression of protective genes but it is not known how confluent endothelial cells (EC) respond to VEGF when conditioned with LSS. Methotrexate (MTX) is the most widely prescribed treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and clinical data suggests that it reduces CV mortality. Known mechanisms of action of MTX result in intracellular accumulation of activators of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK regulates cytoprotective genes in EC and its activation is associated with diverse desirable effects. I hypothesised that EC conditioned with LSS would be primed to respond to VEGF, resulting in a synergistic induction of cytoprotective genes. Secondly I investigated whether MTX exerts beneficial protective effects on vascular endothelium via activation of AMPK, which enhance endothelial resistance to injury. Studies of human umbilical vein EC (HUVEC) exposed to LSS showed that responses to VEGF are not enhanced in these conditions. However, MTX phosphorylated AMPKαThr172 and induced expression of several cytoprotective genes, notably manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). The addition of folic acid did not alter this; and it was also preserved when HUVEC were pre-treated with TNFα to mimic dysfunctional endothelium. siRNA depletion of AMPK attenuated MTX-mediated MnSOD induction. MTX treatment led to AMPK-dependent phosphorylation of the transcription factor CREBSer133. siRNA depletion of CREB also reduced MnSOD induction by MTX, and chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated binding of CREB to the MnSOD promoter in MTX-treated samples. Moreover, MTX protected HUVEC against apoptosis induced by glucose deprivation, demonstrating the functional importance of this pathway. Finally, treatment of the murine (BXSB x NZW)F1 SLE model of inflammatory vasculopathy with MTX improved the intramyocardial arterial vasculopathy and reduced end-organ damage, increased aortic MnSOD and phosphorylated AMPKαThr172, and reduced ICAM-1 expression. I have shown that MTX activates an AMPK-CREB pathway in vascular endothelium leading to enhanced expression of cytoprotective genes and protection against apoptosis in vitro and inflammatory vascular injury in vivo. This novel mechanism may explain its observed benefits in reducing CVD in chronic systemic inflammation.

description: At high energies, single-photon photodetachment of alkali negative ions populates final states where both the ejected electron and the residual valence electron possess high angular momenta. The photodetached electron interacts strongly with the anisotropic core, and thus the partial cross sections for these channels display non-Wigner threshold behavior reflecting these large, and occasionally repulsive, interactions. Our fully quantum mechanical theoretical study enables a deeper interpretation of these partial cross sections. Comparisons of the behavior in different channels and between different atomic species - sodium, potassium, and cesium - show the critical role of near-degeneracies in the energy spectrum and demonstrate that much of the behavior of the partial photodetachment cross sections stems from the permanent, rather than induced, electric dipole moments of these nearly-degenerate channels. This provides a concrete example of a system where negative dispersion forces play a decisive role.

Elle comportait des objectifs relevant des programmes ZoNéCo et Calédonie Quaternaire. Objectifs ZoNéCo : - déterminer le flux de chaleur dans le bassin de Fairway, afin d'estimer la température à la profondeur du réflecteur "atypique" interprété comme un "BSR". Cette détermination vise également à disposer de la valeur du flux de chaleur en fond de mer, un paramètre critique dans les études de modélisation de bassin et de génération des hydrocarbures ; - déterminer, comme pour le bassin de Fairway, le flux de chaleur à un site de référence dans le bassin de Nouvelle Calédonie; - échantillonner et caractériser géochimiquement les eaux interstitielles des carottes prélevées dans les sites potentiellement affectés par des suintements de fluides. Cette étude vise à déterminer la nature et l'origine des fluides, ainsi que les gradients géochimiques ; - rechercher les anomalies de méthane (CH4) dans la colonne d'eau, témoignant d'éventuels dégazages en fond de mer, sur des sites "clés" du bassin de Fairway (dômes profonds). Objectifs Calédonie Quaternaire : Les objectifs de ce programme piloté par l'IRD consistaient à prélever une carotte (de type Calypso) au large de la Nouvelle Calédonie, pour : - obtenir, pour la première fois dans cette partie du Pacifique une courbe continue des variations climatiques des derniers interglaciaires (jusqu'à 1 million d'années ?) ; - reconstituer les paléotempératures de surface de la mer établies à partir des foraminifères; - confirmer ou infirmer par corrélation avec les données obtenues dans les forages insulaires et continentaux sur les récifs barrières de part et d'autre de la Mer de Corail, l'hypothèse d'un réchauffement continu des températures au cours du dernier million d'années à l'origine de l'établissement et du développement des barrières récifales.

description: Examination of the process of silicon burning, the burning stage that leads to the production of the iron peak nuclei, reveals that the nuclear evolution is dominated by large groups of nuclei in mutual equilibrium. These quasi-equilibrium (QSE) groups form well in advance of the global Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium (NSE). We present an improved ``minimal'' nuclear network, which takes advantage of quasi-equilibrium in order to calculate the nuclear evolution and energy generation while further reducing the computational cost compared to a conventional α-chain network. During silicon burning, the resultant \emph{QSE-reduced} αnetwork is twice as fast as the full αnetwork it replaces and requires the tracking of only half as many abundance variables, without significant loss of accuracy. When the QSE-reduced αnetwork is used in combination with a conventional αnetwork stretching from He to Si, the combined \alpha7 network provides an accurate approximation for all of the burning stages from He burning to NSE, while tracking only 7 abundances. These reductions in computational cost and the number of species evolved make the \alpha7 network well suited for inclusion within hydrodynamic simulations, particularly those in multi-dimension.

description: We propose a realizable experimental scheme to prepare a superposition of the vacuum and one-photon states using a typical cavity QED-setup. This is different from previous schemes, where the superposition state of the field is generated by resonant atom-field interaction and the cavity is initially empty. Here, we consider only dispersive atom-field interaction and the initial state of the cavity field is coherent. Then, we determine the parameters to prepare the desired state via atomic postselection. We also include the effect of cavity losses and detection imperfections in our analysis, against which this preparation of the optical qubit in a real Fabry-Pérot superconducting cavity is robust. Additionally, we show that this scheme can be used for the preparation of other photon number Fock state superpositions. In summary, our task is achieved with a high fidelity and a postselection probability within experimental reach

description: Kitaev's honeycomb-lattice spin-$1/2$ model has become a paradigmatic example for $\mathbb{Z}_2$ quantum spin liquids, both gapped and gapless. Here we study the fate of these spin-liquid phases in differently stacked bilayer versions of the Kitaev model. Increasing the ratio between the inter-layer Heisenberg coupling $J_\perp$ and the intra-layer Kitaev couplings $K^{x,y,z}$ destroys the topological spin liquid in favor of a paramagnetic dimer phase. We study phase diagrams as a function of $J_\perp/K$ and Kitaev coupling anisotropies using Majorana-fermion mean-field theory, and we employ different expansion techniques in the limits of small and large $J_\perp/K$. For strongly anisotropic Kitaev couplings, we derive effective models for the different layer stackings which we use to discuss the quantum phase transition out of the Kitaev phase. We find that the phase diagrams depend sensitively on the nature of the stacking and anisotropy strength. While in some stackings and at strong anisotropies we find a single transition between the Kitaev and dimer phases, other stackings are more involved: Most importantly, we prove the existence of two novel macro-spin phases which can be understood in terms of Ising chains which can be either coupled ferromagnetically or remain degenerate, thus realizing a classical spin liquid. In addition, our results suggest the existence of a flux phase with spontaneous inter-layer coherence.

description: We have developed a parallel Particle-Particle, Particle-Mesh (P3M) simulation code for the Cray T3E parallel supercomputer that is well suited to studying the time evolution of systems of particles interacting via gravity and gas forces in cosmological contexts. The parallel code is based upon the public-domain serial Adaptive P3M code of Couchman et al. The algorithm resolves gravitational forces into a long-range component computed by discretizing the mass distribution and solving Poisson's equation on a grid using an FFT convolution method, and a short-range component computed by direct force summation for sufficiently close particle pairs. The code consists primarily of a particle-particle computation parallelized by domain decomposition over blocks of neighbour-cells, a more regular mesh calculation distributed in planes along one dimension, and several transformations between the two distributions. The load balancing of the P3M code is static, since this greatly aids the ongoing implementation of parallel adaptive refinements of the particle and mesh systems. Great care was taken throughout to make optimal use of the available memory, so that a version of the current implementation has been used to simulate systems of up to 10^9 particles with a 1024^3 mesh for the long-range force computation. These are the largest Cosmological N-body simulations of which we are aware. We discuss these memory optimizations as well as those motivated by computational performance. Performance results are very encouraging, and, even without refinements, the code has been used effectively for simulations in which the particle distribution becomes highly clustered as well as for other non-uniform systems of astrophysical interest.

description: Amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs), which combine two different polymer nanophases, have a broad range of applications that involve their unique potential to separately swell one of these nanophases in a selective solvent. Little is known about the structural changes of such APCNs upon swelling in dependence on the topology. Here, conetworks composed of poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) crosslinked by poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOx) are investigated with small-angle X-ray scattering in dry and swollen state using the orthogonal solvents water and toluene. The data clearly show that the structural changes induced by swelling are strongly dependent on the topology of the APCNs. While water leads to fusion of PMOx phases resulting in larger structures than found in the dry APCN, toluene is only swelling the hydrophobic phases without structural changes.

Calculating excited states of condensed matter
Creators: name: Webster, Ross
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The accurate and reliable prediction of the optical properties of extended systems is a powerful tool for the development of nanostructured optical devices, such as photovoltaic materials. One major challenge faced by excited-state electronic structure methods is the treatment of the two-particle electron-hole interaction which is a key component of optical response properties such as optical absorption and charge transport. In this work we first study the effect of choice of basis set on both ground-state and first-order response properties, extending the molecular studies of Rappoport et al. into periodic and crystalline systems. From the conclusions of this basis set study, we employ a series of polarisation-optimised basis sets to calculate the optical gaps of the alkali halide series AX (where A = Li, Na, K, Rb and X = F, Cl, Br). Secondly, we assess the applicability of a range of methods (HF, LDA, PBE and B3LYP) for excited state calculations of extended systems, and examine the dependence of optical properties on the contribution of Hartree-Fock exchange (cHF ) to the linear-response TD-B3LYP kernel. We find that TD-B3LYP underestimates both the fundamental gap (Eg ) and optical gap (Eo ) in comparison to experimental work, and we show that the optical gap can be reproduced at least quantitatively with cHF ≃ 0.3. The last chapter of this work focusses on the calculation of electronic and optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). We study the effect of geometry relaxation, curvature, basis set and method on one-electron and linear-response properties, comparing our findings to other theoretical and experimental works. Our study shows that B3LYP is able to accurately and reliably calculate the ground-state electronic properties of a large range of nanotubes (<2-46 Å in diameter). Through our geometry optimisations and studies on nanotube diameter, we observe the curvature effect on the qualitative and quantitative properties of the van Hove singularities and Density of States of SWCNTs. We find that TD-B3LYP produces values of Eo that are in good agreement with experimental measurements and GW-BSE calculations, for both metallic and semiconducting nanotubes, however the estimated exciton binding energies for our calculations, Eb (where Eb = Eg − Eo) are in poor agreement with previous theoretical calculations. This is likely due to our comparison of two-particle (Eo ) values and roughly-estimated values of Eg from single-particle eigenvalues.

Practical quantum oblivious transfer with a single photon

description: Quantum oblivious transfer (QOT) is an essential cryptographic primitive. But unconditionally secure QOT is known to be impossible. Here we propose a practical QOT protocol, which is perfectly secure against dishonest sender without relying on any technological assumption. Meanwhile, it is also secure against dishonest receiver in the absence of long-term quantum memory and complicated collective measurements. The protocol is extremely feasible, as it can be implemented using currently available Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and no quantum memory, collective measurements nor entanglement are needed for honest participants. More importantly, comparing with other practical QOT schemes, our protocol has an unbeatable efficiency since it requires the transmission of a single photon only.

Leukocyte trafficking dynamics in the regulation of labour
Creators: name: Edey, Lydia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Late gestation and labour is associated with inflammatory changes in the myometrium that include an increase in neutrophil and monocyte numbers. The mechanisms regulating altered leukocyte dynamics in pregnancy are not well understood, but may be critical in identifying novel targets for the prevention of preterm labour (PTL). PTL is defined as the onset of labour prior to 37 weeks gestation and often results in preterm birth (PTB). Here we investigated local and systemic leukocyte trafficking during late gestation and labour, focussing on the pro-inflammatory Ly-6Chigh monocyte subpopulation in mouse models of normal, preterm and delayed labour. Using flow cytometry and in vivo cell labelling methods, we demonstrated for the first time that blood-derived Ly-6Chigh monocyte densities increase in the myometrium prior to labour onset. Increases were also observed in the pools of intravascular, lung-marginated Ly-6Chigh monocytes and neutrophils during late gestation, which although not mirrored in the circulation is indicative of a systemic inflammatory response. Using exogenous progesterone supplementation and a progesterone receptor antagonist, we demonstrated that progesterone controls Ly-6Chigh monocyte cell densities within the myometrium, with rapid increases following its functional withdrawal. In a mouse model of infection-induced PTL by laparotomy and intrauterine LPS injection, we unexpectedly found that inflammatory leukocyte migration to the myometrium was low pre- labour. Levels of cytokines and chemokines, including the monocyte chemoattractant CCL2, were high in the myometrium, but also systemically in plasma and organ tissue, indicating a significant systemic inflammatory response. In the surgical controls, in which labour was delayed, there were substantial increases in Ly-6Chigh monocytes in the myometrium, which were shown using knockout mice to be CCR2-dependent. Taken together, our data indicate that both local and systemic inflammation play important roles in labour. Despite consistent observations of Ly-6Chigh monocyte infiltration into the myometrium, there was a lack of clear evidence supporting their role in labour, suggesting their late-gestation myometrium infiltration is more relevant to post-partum uterine repair and remodelling.

description: We study the gross properties of even-even and $N=Z$ nuclei with $A=48-64$ using shell-model Monte Carlo methods. Our calculations account for all $0 \hbar ω$ configurations in the $fp$-shell and employ the modified Kuo-Brown interaction KB3. We find good agreement with data for masses and total $B(E2)$ strengths, the latter employing effective charges $e_p=1.35e$ and $e_n=0.35e$. The calculated total Gamow-Teller strengths agree consistently with the $B(GT_+)$-values deduced from $(n,p)$ data if the shell model results are renormalized by $0.64$, as has already been established for $sd$-shell nuclei. The present calculations therefore suggest that this renormalization (i.e., $g_A=1$ in the nuclear medium) is universal.

description: Fourth order curvature driven interface evolution equations frequently appear in the natural sciences. Often axisymmetric geometries are of interest, and in this situation numerical computations are much more efficient. We will introduce and analyze several new finite element schemes for fourth order geometric evolution equations in an axisymmetric setting, and for selected schemes we will show existence, uniqueness and stability results. The presented schemes have very good mesh and stability properties, as will be demonstrated by several numerical examples.
