title: Plasticity of mammary cell boundaries governed by EGF and actin remodelling.
Creators: name: Tang, Wai Ying Yvonne
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2015

description: Molecular mechanisms governing the plasticity of cellular boundaries in confluent epithelial monolayers are poorly characterised. In this thesis, we report a drastic reorganisation of cellular boundaries, provoked by the prolonged withdrawal of EGF from non-malignant mammary epithelial cells, MCF10A and HMT-3522 cells. EGF withdrawal induces actin-rich interdigitations that protrude into neighbouring cells and are enriched in desmosomes. These protrusions allow the cellular sheets to resist mechanical and osmotic perturbation. Mobility of the cells within monolayers is also restricted. Overexpression of constitutively active Rac opposes interdigitations and induces membrane ruffling. EGF application reverses the interdigitations rapidly in a process that requires actin polymerisation and actomyosin contraction. We report here a simple in vitro system that can be utilised as a visual readout to dissect novel signaling pathways specific to EGFR activation and mammary morphogenesis. This thesis focuses on the initial efforts to characterise this dramatic remodeling of cellular boundaries and will discuss the potential investigations that can be pursued further hereon.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Nuclear stellar cluster (NSCs) are known to exist around massive black holes (MBHs) in galactic nuclei. Two formation scenarios were suggested for their origin: Build-up of NSCs and Continuous in-situ star-formation. Here we study the effects of star formation on the build-up of NSCs and its implications for their long term evolution and their resulting structure. We show that continuous star-formation can lead to the build-up of an NSC with properties similar to those of the Milky-way NSC. We also find that the general structure of the old stellar population in the NSC with in-situ star-formation could be very similar to the steady-state Bahcall-Wolf cuspy structure. However, its younger stellar population do not yet achieve a steady state. In particular,formed/evolved NSCs with in-situ star-formation contain differential age-segregated stellar populations which are not yet fully mixed. Younger stellar populations formed in the outer regions of the NSC have a cuspy structure towards the NSC outskirts, while showing a core-like distribution inwards; with younger populations having larger core sizes.

The double radiative $\bar{B}\to X_sγγ$ decay at $O(α_{s})$ in QCD

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In these proceedings, we briefly review the individual interference contribution of the electromagnetic dipole operator $\mathcal{O}_{7}$ to the double differential decay width $dΓ_{77}/(ds_1\, ds_2)$ for the process $\bar{B} \to X_s γγ$ at $O(α_s)$ in QCD, which is based on our previous work. We define two kinematical variables $s_1$ and $s_2$ as $s_i=(p_b - q_i)^2/m_b^2$, where $p_b$, $q_1$, $q_2$ are the momenta of b-quark and two photons. While the (renormalized) virtual corrections are worked out exactly for a certain range of $s_1$ and $s_2$, we retained in the gluon bremsstrahlung process only the leading power w.r.t. the (normalized) hadronic mass $s_3=(p_b-q_1-q_2)^2/m_b^2$ in the underlying triple differential decay width $dΓ_{77}/(ds_1 ds_2 ds_3)$. We found that the double differential decay width, based on this approximation, is free of infrared- and collinear singularities when summing up the virtual- and real-radiation corrections, while this was not the case when keeping all powers in $s_3$ in the gluon bremsstrahlung process due to the configurations allowing collinear photon emission from the (massless) $s$-quark. Lastly, we compare our analytical results with those obtained in a recently extended work, where a non-zero strange quark mass was introduced to regulate the collinear photon configurations.

title: Creativity and collaboration in the recording studio: an empirical study
Creators: name: Thompson, Paul
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: There is increasing evidence that creativity is the result of a dynamic system of interaction where the individual is only one part. Csikszentmihalyi describes a ‘creative system’ that includes three main elements: the domain, the field and the individual (Csikszentmihalyi: 1988, 1997, 1999 & 2004). During creative work, the individual must draw from the domain in order to select a suitable arrangement of ingredients from this body of knowledge and symbol system. This selection of ingredients is then presented to the field, the social organization that recognises, uses and alters the domain, to decide upon its creativity and inclusion into the domain (Csikszentmihalyi, 1997). In the context of rock music this occurs when the completed record is released to the public and the field of rock record production (TV, radio, popular music press, other musicians, engineers and producers etc.) decides upon the record’s novelty and its relevant addition to the domain through an often complex and iterative process. However, little has been written from a creative system’s perspective about what happens inside the recording studio before the record is released. Consequently, the interaction of the creative system’s main elements during smaller acts of creativity, such as the individual generation of ideas, and the collaborative exchanges that take place during group creativity, have been relatively underexplored.This thesis explores the creative process of making a rock recording inside the recording studio using the framework of the creative system. Ethnographic methods such as participant-observation, video and sound recording were used to observe the interaction between the performing musicians, the engineer and the record producer as they collaborated during the recording process. This helped to reveal the complex interaction between the participants and the creative system’s main elements during the creative tasks of performing, engineering and producing. Importantly, it helped to show for the first time that this interaction occurred on both an individual level and a group level, and highlighted how a creative-systems approach can be used to gain a more detailed and in-depth understanding of musical creativity more generally.

description: The nuclear symmetry energy determines the birth of neutron stars and the elementary nucleosynthesis in the universe. To constrain the nuclear symmetry energy, besides the studies in astrophysics, many terrestrial nuclear experiments are being carried out using a wide variety of advanced new facilities. In this paper, by cross-checking two unrelated experimental measurements using the newly updated transport model, we obtained a slightly soft symmetry energy at supra-saturation nuclear densities. While extrapolating to low nuclear densities, this result is compatible with the recent finding by comparing the available data on the electric dipole polarizability with the theoretical predictions. Our finding is expected to push the studies of nuclear physics and astrophysics forward.

description: PurposeMost US inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) epidemiology studies conducted to date have sampled small, geographically restricted populations and have not examined time trends. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in a commercially insured US population and compare prevalences across sociodemographic characteristics and time.MethodsUsing claims data from approximately 12 million Americans, we performed three consecutive 2-year cross-sectional studies. Cases of CD and UC were identified using a previously described algorithm. Prevalence was estimated by dividing cases by individuals in the source population. Logistic regression was used to compare prevalences by region, age, and sex.ResultsIn 2009, the prevalences of CD and UC in children were 58 [95% confidence interval (CI) 55–60] and 34 (95% CI 32–36), respectively. In adults, the respective prevalences were 241 (95% CI 238–245) and 263 (95% CI 260–266). Data analysis revealed that IBD prevalences have slightly increased over time. Based on census data, an estimated 1,171,000 Americans have IBD (565,000 CD and 593,000 UC).ConclusionsAnalysis of the epidemiological data revealed an increasing burden of IBD in recent years, which may be used to inform policy.

title: A systems based approach to neutrophil gene expression
Creators: name: Thomas, Huw
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2015

description: Neutrophils are the major cellular constituent of blood leukocytes and play a central role in the inflammatory response, expressing an array of destructive molecules and antimicrobial processes that characterise the cells as front-line defenders of the innate immune system, thus neutrophils are crucial to host defence. It is now appreciated that neutrophils produce and respond to a variety of inflammatory signals and are able to regulate both the innate and adaptive immune response. The molecular changes that underlie this regulation are poorly defined, yet represent an attractive area of research to fully elucidate the role and regulatory capacity of neutrophils within the immune response. RNA-Seq provides an accurate and robust mechanism for global characterisation of cellular transcripts. Neutrophils were isolated from healthy donors and incubated with or without inflammatory cytokines for 1 h. RNA was extracted and analysed by RNA-Seq using the SOLiD or Illumina platforms. Raw data was quantified using a number of software packages which formed a bioinformatic pipeline for data analysis which was developed during the course of the research. Results were validated by a selection of traditional laboratory functional assays. Priming of neutrophils by GM-CSF and TNFα was found to induce differential gene expression and activation of transcription factors, which led to differential regulation of apoptotic pathways. Stimulation of neutrophils with inflammatory cytokines/chemokines (IL-1β, IL-8, G-CSF, IFNγ) resulted in expression of discrete gene sets and differential activation of signalling pathways. Stimulation of neutrophils with IL-6 did not induce any significant expression of genes but result in activation of STAT signalling. Comparison of gene expression of neutrophils isolated by density gradient and magnetic bead preparation revealed significant differences in gene expression and function, in part attributable to levels of contamination associated with each isolation method. Bead isolation was found to enrich a more heterogeneous neutrophil population including a subpopulation of neutrophils expressing transcripts previously associated with low density granulocytes. Thus, RNA-Seq and bioinformatic analysis has provided a full characterisation of neutrophil gene expression under inflammatory conditions and identified several new areas of research that could lead to targeted drug design for the treatment of inflammatory disease.

description: Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a vital indicator of soil health and plays a crucial role in mitigating climate emissions through carbon sequestration. Accurate and rapid estimation of SOC is essential for farmers to implement climate change mitigation strategies and claim carbon credits. In this study, we developed and validated a protocol for the rapid photocatalytic determination of SOC content using the PeCOD analyzer. Our results confirmed that fine-grained materials, particularly clayey soils, generally exhibited higher SOC content. Additionally, we observed a decrease in SOC content with increasing soil depth. The study revealed a direct correlation between Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and SOC content, indicating that the PeCOD analyzer method is a reliable tool for estimating SOC levels in soils. These findings contribute to our understanding of soil carbon dynamics and offer valuable insights for farmers, researchers, and policymakers in addressing climate change mitigation strategies and promoting soil health. The developed protocol provides a rapid and cost-effective approach for accurately determining SOC content, enabling effective soil management practices and carbon credit claims

title: An SOPC Based Image Processing System
Creators: name: Wu, Fan
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Recent advances in semiconductor technology have made it possible to integrate an entire system including processors, memory and other system units into a single programmable chip - FPGA, these configurations are called 'System-on-aProgrammable- Chip' (SOPC). SOPCs have the advantage that they can be designed quicker than existing technologies and are cheap to produce for low volume Ã‚Â«10,000) applications. Also, SOPCs are of great benefit as they offer compact and flexible system designs due to their reconfigurable nature and high integration of features. One processor intensive application, which is ideal for SOPC technology, is that of image processing where there is a repeated application of operations on the 2D data. This research investigated the use of SOPC technology for image processing by developing a modular system capable ofreal-time video acquisition, processing and display. An sope Based Image Processing System Abstract Abstract This system is comprised of a CameraLink CMOS camera with a custom designed camera interface card for video acquisition, a VGA mode CRT monitor with a Lancelot VGA card for video display, an industrial SDRAM device for video data buffering, and an Altera Apex 20K FPGA for evaluating the SOPC design. Four custom designed IP components have been developed and integrated with other Altera provided standard IP components to drive all off-chip peripherals and perform the required video functions such as processing the images. These custom designed IPs are the video capture controller, video display controller, video memory controller and Cache. A Nios processor was chosen to perform the actual image processing, and the whole system was developed on the Altera Nios development board. In order to solve the complex on-chip data communication, while not degrading the transferring speed of largeamounts of video data, an effective solution called Simultaneously Multi-Mastering Avalon Streaming Transfer with Peripheral-Controlled Waitrequest was raised. Rather than using the software approach to initialise DMA-like transfers, this solution takes advantage of the FPGA hardware resource to perform bus arbitration and hence increases the system efficiency. The system produced is an alternative to conventional desktop-based, i.e. a visionbased closed loop process control system for weiding, or microprocessor-based vision systems.

Records from the study area: Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu—Cook (1967); Prasad (1974); Uttaranchal—Smit & Pešić (2010).
Remarks: Limnesia pinguipalpis closely resemble L. bakeri, a species described from the Philippines (Walter 1930), but can easily be distinguished from it in the first coxae fused medially in the male (not fused in the male of L. baker i, see Walter 1930). Lundblad (1969) reported Limnesia bakeri from Ambernath, 50 miles from Bombay. However, Lundblad’s figures (first coaxe fused medially, as in L. pinguipalpis) clearly show that his specimens are not conspecific with L. bakeri.

title: Monitoring honey and complex liquids by optical chromaticity
Creators: name: Sufian, Amr
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2015

description: The potential of optically monitoring complex composite liquids such as honey has been demonstrated using optical light properties. The novel approach has the potential for distinguishing between various honey samples to quantify and discriminate for deviations from the norm and for early warning of contamination/adulteration in honey using readily available, cost effective and portable instrumentation that can be used robustly on the field, which replaces individual absolute measuring instruments. The novel approach was developed based upon chromatically processing test data with three different optical methods simultaneously (transmission, polarization and fluorescence) for use as primary, secondary chromatic maps and an assessment flow chart to provide a rapid decision capability on the condition of the honey according to quality attributes. As such it can provide insight into conditions important to the food industry. Novel methods for compensation, calibration, normalization and ambient light rejection procedures have been developed to allow operation in a range of lightening conditions such as in the field and factory. The chromatic approach sensitivity for identifying the correct classification of high quality honey samples was 91% and the sensitivity for identifying very poor quality samples was 75%. The portable honey monitoring system was tested for field trials at various locations across Yemen for monitoring the condition of honey samples. The sensitivity for correct classifications of the high quality honey sample samples was 88% and the sensitivity for identifying very poor quality honey samples was 63%. Chromatic methodology provided robustness for field use.

description: Serrated pathway polyps are a relatively new area of interest in the field of colorectal cancer screening and prevention. Akin to conventional adenomas, some serrated polyps (SPs) have the potential to develop into malignant serrated neoplasms, yet little is known regarding risk factors for these lesions. Early epidemiological studies of hyperplastic polyps (HPs) were performed without knowledge of the serrated pathway, and likely included a mixture of SPs. More recently, studies have specifically evaluated premalignant SPs, such as the sessile serrated adenoma (SSA) or surrogates for these polyps such as large or proximally-located SPs. SPs share some risk factors with conventional adenomas, and have been associated with tobacco use, obesity, and age. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, fiber, folic acid, and calcium have been associated with reduced risk of SPs. Studies focused on SSAs specifically have reported associations with age, female sex, smoking, obesity, diabetes, and possibly diets high in fat, carbohydrates, and calories. Higher education has also been associated with risk of SSAs, while an inverse association between NSAID use and SSAs has been reported. Risk factors for traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) are largely unknown. Studies are largely limited by varying inclusion criteria, as well as differences in pathological classification schemes. Further epidemiological studies of SPs are needed to aid in risk stratification and screening, and etiological research.

description: The work in my thesis focuses on developing highly sensitive tests, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the measurement of antiretroviral drugs within plasma, cells, and cerebral spinal fluid from clinical studies evaluating compartmentalised antiretroviral therapy (ART) pharmacokinetics and forgiveness for missed or late dosing. Firstly I developed and validated a LC-MS/MS assay to quantify the antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, lopinavir, darunavir, ritonavir and raltegravir in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). This intracellular assay included optimising methodology for cell separation to minimise loss of drug (Chapter 4). All drugs eluted within an 8 minute run time. Matrix effects were minimal (-2.9%). Calibration curves were validated over a concentration range of 0.4-150ng/mL. Intra and inter assay variation ranged between 0.01-2.29% for precision and 96.76-102.32% for accuracy. Secondly I developed and validated a LC-MS/MS assay to simultaneously detect and quantify 10 ARVs; maraviroc (MVC), nevirapine (NVP), rilpivirine (RPV), raltegravir (RAL), atazanavir (ATV), darunavir (DRV), amprenavir (APV), ritonavir (RTV), lopinavir (LPV) and etravirine (ETV) in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). All drugs eluted within a 10 minute run time. Calibration curves were validated over the following concentration ranges; LPV, MVC, RTV = 0.78-100 ng/mL, RAL, APV, ATV, RPV, ETV, DRV = 1.95-250 ng/mL and NVP = 19.5-2500 ng/mL (r2 values >0.99; quadratic 1/x). Intra and inter assay variation ranged between 1.59-15% for precision and -10.5-6.4% for accuracy. Carryover was 70% and the CV% at low, medium and high concentrations was less than 20% for all drugs. Thirdly I developed and validated a LC-MS/MS assay to quantify intracellular tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) and emtricitabine-triphosphate (FTC-TP) within PBMCs. This work was very technically challenging and something that was not being done by any other laboratory within the United Kingdom. Analytes eluted within 12 minutes run-time with adequate separation. Calibration curves were validated over the following range TFV-DP=0.35-10.91 ng/mL, FTC-TP=0.38-103.17 ng/mL (r2 values >0.99; linear 1/x). The lower limit of quantification was 5% and carryover

description: Abstract
The airline industry plays a noteworthy role in the development of the financial system and also facilitates tourism and development. Nowadays, the world has turned into a global countryside. It has increased the number of passengers traveling to and from the country, via air and created a way for business networks without much of a hassle. At present, in the post-COVID-19 crisis, airlines' major adoption of digital technology may have changed how customers experience the services, it may affect passengers' perceptions compared to the past and  may create many inconveniences for the passengers to understanding and using the modern touchless technologies. However, there is a lack of studies systematically examining the adoption of new technology in the airline industry from a passenger satisfaction-centric perspective. This study investigates passengers' satisfaction and problems faced by passengers with digital technology adoption by airlines after the COVID-19 pandemic. An online interview schedule was developed and a survey was conducted with 700 respondents to examine passengers' perceptions and problems with digital technology-based services offered by airlines.  Finally, 680 valid responses were analyzed using ANOVA tests and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. The analysis indicates that most passengers have a positive attitude towards airlines' new technology adoption. In the final selected regression model, many of the adopted technologies have fewer problems and have impacted passenger satisfaction significantly. The facial recognition service and digital documentation are the highly favorable technologies offered by the airlines.

description: In der vorliegenden empirischen Arbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob beidhändiges koordinatives Training zu einer gesteigerten Aufmerksamkeitsleistung von Primarschulkindern in der Lernzeit führt. Zur Beantwortung der Fragestellung werden zwei Forschungshypothesen formuliert, die anhand zweier experimenteller Designs untersucht werden. Obwohl die Ergebnisse der Erhebungen keinen eindeutigen Zusammenhang zwischen bimanuellem Koordinationstraining und der Aufmerksamkeitsleistung hervorbringen, wird vorgeschlagen, ähnliche Studien durchzuführen, um die Hypothesen nochmals zu überprüfen. Denn es herrscht ein allgemeiner Konsens darüber, dass Methoden gefordert sind, die die Aufmerksamkeitsleistung von Schüler:innen unmittelbar oder sogar längerfristig fördern könnten. Beidhändige koordinative Übungen haben zum Vorteil, dass sie mit wenig materiellem und zeitlichem Aufwand im Klassenzimmer umgesetzt werden können. Darüber hinaus begünstigen sie die Bewegungsfreude der Kinder.
Habitable Evaporated Cores: Transforming Mini-Neptunes into Super-Earths in the Habitable Zones of M Dwarfs

description: We show that photoevaporation of small gaseous exoplanets ("mini-Neptunes") in the habitable zones of M dwarfs can remove several Earth masses of hydrogen and helium from these planets and transform them into potentially habitable worlds. We couple X-ray/extreme ultraviolet (XUV)-driven escape, thermal evolution, tidal evolution and orbital migration to explore the types of systems that may harbor such "habitable evaporated cores" (HECs). We find that HECs are most likely to form from planets with $\sim 1 M_\oplus$ solid cores with up to about 50% H/He by mass, though whether or not a given mini-Neptune forms a HEC is highly dependent on the early XUV evolution of the host star. As terrestrial planet formation around M dwarfs by accumulation of local material is likely to form planets that are small and dry, evaporation of small migrating mini-Neptunes could be one of the dominant formation mechanisms for volatile-rich Earths around these stars.

title: Charitable intention in the Cy-Pres doctrine and related trusts principles
Creators: name: Picton, John
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: This thesis provides the first extended taxonomy of charitable intention in the law of schemes. It does so in order to identify the legal functions of intention and suggest critical doctrinal (‘black letter’) reforms so that those functions can be better carried out. Where appropriate, it draws on Australasian statutory and common law innovation. It contrasts developments in those related jurisdictions as a reference point for English reform. Two functions of intention are identified. In the context of established trust reform, intention is one element of a broader process of ‘balanced variation’. The original intention of the donor is balanced against broadly defined effectiveness standards. By contrast, in the context of testamentary construction, intention has a different role. It is constructed simply to make a failed will possible to effect. Efficacious reform is possible with regards to both those functions, and so this thesis proposes a series of common law and legislative changes.

description: We present our development of Zeldovich's ideas for the measurement of the cosmological angular diameter distance (ADD) in the Friedmann Universe. We derive the general differential equation for the ADD measurement which is valid for an open, spatially-flat and closed universe, and for any stress energy tensor. We solve the mentioned equations in terms of quadratures in a form suitable for further numerical investigations for the present universe filled by radiation, (baryonic and dark) matter and dark energy. We perform the numerical investigation in the absence of radiation, and show the strong dependence ADD on the filling of the cone of light rays (CLR). The difference of the empty and totally filled CLR may reach 600-700 Mps. for the redshift $f\simeq 3$.

description: Barrett’s esophagus (BE), the premalignant lesion of esophageal adenocarcinoma, is believed to develop as a result of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Approximately 10% of subjects with GERD progress to BE. Genetic, epigenetic and other risk factors may contribute to this inter-individual variability. Caudal type homeobox 1 (Cdx1) and Caudal type homeobox 2 (Cdx2) play important regulatory roles in the development of human BE.

description: Objective: To develop a current understanding of the differences in how physicians communicate with Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) patients in comparison to non-BME patients. Methods: Systematic searches of electronic databases and references lists were performed. Data from the included studies were extracted in line with the review’s aims, and the studies’ quality was assessed using a standardised criteria. Results: Sixteen studies were included. The results indicated that physicians communicated differently with BME patients compared to non-BME patients as a consequence of patients’ race. Physicians were found to show less participative and affective behaviours towards BME patients and black patients received more information giving behaviours than other ethnicities. Additionally, BME patients displayed less conversational behaviours in comparison to non-BME patients. Studies have also begun to relate other culture related variables to communication but their relationship was less established. Conclusion: While physicians’ communication behaviours varied across patients’ race, there still continues to remain a gap in relation to the literature base being able to sufficiently explain, (a) how race exerts its effect on physician communication and (b) what other variables can account for the differences in physicians’ communication. This gap may reflect the complexity of communication and the measures used. The review firstly reinforces the need for a diverse workforce and the necessity to incorporate affective dimensions of communication in physicians’ cultural communication training, and secondly, calls for future research to expand explanations beyond patients’ race.
