description: The ability to reconstruct high-quality images from undersampled MRI data is vital in improving MRI temporal resolution and reducing acquisition times. Deep learning methods have been proposed for this task, but the lack of verified methods to quantify the uncertainty in the reconstructed images hampered clinical applicability. We introduce "NPB-REC", a non-parametric fully Bayesian framework, for MRI reconstruction from undersampled data with uncertainty estimation. We use Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics during training to characterize the posterior distribution of the network parameters. This enables us to both improve the quality of the reconstructed images and quantify the uncertainty in the reconstructed images. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on a multi-coil MRI dataset from the fastMRI challenge and compare it to the baseline End-to-End Variational Network (E2E-VarNet). Our approach outperforms the baseline in terms of reconstruction accuracy by means of PSNR and SSIM ($34.55$, $0.908$ vs. $33.08$, $0.897$, $p<0.01$, acceleration rate $R=8$) and provides uncertainty measures that correlate better with the reconstruction error (Pearson correlation, $R=0.94$ vs. $R=0.91$). Additionally, our approach exhibits better generalization capabilities against anatomical distribution shifts (PSNR and SSIM of $32.38$, $0.849$ vs. $31.63$, $0.836$, $p<0.01$, training on brain data, inference on knee data, acceleration rate $R=8$). NPB-REC has the potential to facilitate the safe utilization of deep learning-based methods for MRI reconstruction from undersampled data.

Characterising population variability in brain structure through models of whole-brain structural connectivity
Creators: name: Robinson, Emma Claire
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Models of whole-brain connectivity are valuable for understanding neurological function. This thesis seeks to develop an optimal framework for extracting models of whole-brain connectivity from clinically acquired diffusion data. We propose new approaches for studying these models. The aim is to develop techniques which can take models of brain connectivity and use them to identify biomarkers or phenotypes of disease. The models of connectivity are extracted using a standard probabilistic tractography algorithm, modified to assess the structural integrity of tracts, through estimates of white matter anisotropy. Connections are traced between 77 regions of interest, automatically extracted by label propagation from multiple brain atlases followed by classifier fusion. The estimates of tissue integrity for each tract are input as indices in 77x77 ”connectivity” matrices, extracted for large populations of clinical data. These are compared in subsequent studies. To date, most whole-brain connectivity studies have characterised population differences using graph theory techniques. However these can be limited in their ability to pinpoint the locations of differences in the underlying neural anatomy. Therefore, this thesis proposes new techniques. These include a spectral clustering approach for comparing population differences in the clustering properties of weighted brain networks. In addition, machine learning approaches are suggested for the first time. These are particularly advantageous as they allow classification of subjects and extraction of features which best represent the differences between groups. One limitation of the proposed approach is that errors propagate from segmentation and registration steps prior to tractography. This can cumulate in the assignment of false positive connections, where the contribution of these factors may vary across populations, causing the appearance of population differences where there are none. The final contribution of this thesis is therefore to develop a common co-ordinate space approach. This combines probabilistic models of voxel-wise diffusion for each subject into a single probabilistic model of diffusion for the population. This allows tractography to be performed only once, ensuring that there is one model of connectivity. Cross-subject differences can then be identified by mapping individual subjects’ anisotropy data to this model. The approach is used to compare populations separated by age and gender.

description: Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer, and let $P= (f_1(x), \ldots, f_k(x) )$ be $k$ admissible linear polynomials over the integers, or \textit{the pattern}. We present two algorithms that find all integers $x$ where $\max{ \{f_i(x) \} } \le n$ and all the $f_i(x)$ are prime. Our first algorithm takes at most $O_P(n/(\log\log n)^k)$ arithmetic operations using $O(k\sqrt{n})$ space. Our second algorithm takes slightly more time, $O_P(n/(\log \log n)^{k-1})$ arithmetic operations, but uses only $n^{1/c}$ space for a constant $c>2$. We prove correctness unconditionally, but the running time relies on two unproven but reasonable conjectures. We are unaware of any previous complexity results for this problem beyond the use of a prime sieve. We also implemented several parallel versions of our second algorithm to show it is viable in practice. In particular, we found some new Cunningham chains of length 15, and we found all quadruplet primes up to $10^{17}$.

description: We report on multicolour photometry of the short period dwarf nova CSS130418:174033+414756 during the 2013 superoutburst. The system showed an unusually short superhump period with 0.046346(67) d during stage A, which is one of the shortest periods among dwarf novae below the period minimum. We found that the bluest peaks in $g' - I_{\rm c}$ colour variations tend to coincide with the brightness minima of the superhump modulations. We also studied nightly-averaged superhump amplitudes in $g'$, $R_{\rm c}$, and $I_{\rm c}$ bands and found that they have less dependence on wavelength. These properties are likely to be in common with dwarf novae exhibiting superhumps. We successfully obtained $g' - R_{\rm c}$ and $R_{\rm c} - I_{\rm c}$ colours during the temporal dip. The colour indices were significantly bluer compared with other dips of WZ Sge-type dwarf novae. By using the period of the growing superhumps, we estimated the mass ratio to be $q$ = 0.077(5), which is much larger than the previous study.

description: In the dilatonic domain wall model, we study the Schwarzschild black hole as a solution to the Kaluza-Klein (KK) zero mode effective action which is equivalent to the Brans-Dicke (BD) model with a potential. This can describe the large Randall-Sundrum (RS) black hole whose horizon is to be the intersection of the black cigar with the brane. The black cigar located far from the AdS$_5$-horizon is known to be stable, but any explicit calculation for stability of the RS black hole at $z=0$ is not yet performed. Here its stability is investigated against the $z$-independent perturbations composed of odd, even parities of graviton ($h_{μν}$) and BD scalar($h_{44} = 2ϕ$). It seems that the RS black hole is classically unstable because it has a potential instability at wavelength with $λ> 1/(2k)$. However, this is not allowed inside an AdS$_5$-box of the size with $1/(2k)$. Thus the RS black hole becomes stable. The RS black hole can be considered as a stable remnant at $z=0 $ of the black cigar.

Orientational dynamics of a heated Janus particle

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations we study the orientational dynamics of a heated Janus particle which exhibits self-propulsion. The asymmetry in the microscopic interaction of the colloid with the solvent is implemented by choosing different wetting parameters for the two halves of the sphere. Consequently a gradient in temperature is created across the poles of the sphere due to different interfacial resistance across the solid-fluid boundary in the two hemispheres. It is this self-created temperature gradient which leads to a self-propulsion along the direction of the symmetry axis. In this article, we look at the orientational dynamics of such a system, as well as the subsequent enhancement of the translational diffusivity at late times. The orientational correlation of the symmetry axis is measured from the simulation and provides a direct access to the rotational diffusion constant. The heating leads to an increase in the rotational diffusivity of the colloid. We quantify this increase in rotational diffusion against the temperature difference across the poles of the Janus sphere as well as the average surface temperature difference from the ambient fluid.We show that later quantification is better and results in a data collapse for different choices of the microscopic interaction. The average propulsion velocity is also measured for different choices of the wetting parameter. The directionality of self-propulsion changes depending on the microscopic interaction. We show that whenever the attractive interaction of the colloid with the solvent is switched off, the phoretic mobility changes sign. Further, the propulsion velocity is zero for heating below a certain threshold value. Finally, we combine the measured propulsion velocity and the rotational diffusion time to estimate the enhancement in the long time diffusion coefficient of the particle.

description: Department of Defense (DoD) policy, as outlined in Defense Reform Initiative Directive #49, mandates the privatization of Government-owned utility systems in situations where the transfer of the utility systems to private, cooperative, municipal, or regional utility systems may be proven cost effective without jeopardizing the reliability of service or the security of the mission. Privatization of utility systems can be economically justified under DoD regulations if the overall privatization life-cycle cost of service is less than the life-cycle cost of continued Adelphi Laboratory Center (ALC) ownership alternative. The ALC, in compliance with the DoD policy, is analyzing the alternatives available for supplying potable water, wastewater, and electrical system services, which are cost effective, reliable and secure. The maintenance and replacement of existing utility systems are becoming increasingly more complex and costly, making it difficult to operate the systems in compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. New environmental laws and regulations may impose more stringent requirements on the utility systems, thus making it increasingly challenging for the Government to operate and maintain the utility systems in a cost effective and prudent manner. Although public, private and regional utility companies are also required to meet the same environmental laws and regulations, it is believed that these organizations are better positioned to respond to such requirements.

description: The electronic band structures along with Fermi surface, anisotropy, Vickers hardness, analysis of Mulliken populations, optical and thermodynamic properties were studied for the first time. The optimized unit cell parameters are compared with available theoretical and experimental results and a reasonable agreement is recorded. The mechanical stability of these compounds is confirmed. All the compounds herein exhibit metallic conductivity where major contribution comes from d-orbital electrons. The hardness values of 10.71, 12.44, 8.52 and 16.80 GPa were recorded for M2BC (M = V, Nb, Mo and Ta) compounds, respectively. The value of bulk modulus, B is found to increase in the sequence B (V2BC) < B (Nb2BC) < B (Ta2BC) < B (Mo2BC), indicates Mo2BC is highly stiff among all compounds. The Mo2BC and Ta2BC compound might be considered as potential candidates for protection of cutting and forming tools due to the moderately ductile and highly stiff behavior compared to other benchmark hard coating materials such as TiN, TiAlN, Ti0.5Al0.5N and c-BN. Ta2BC compound could also be a promising thermal barrier coating (TBC) material due to the reasonable results of minimum thermal conductivity, Debye temperature and damage tolerance behavior. Various optical functions such as dielectric constants, refractive index, photo-conductivity, absorption, loss function and reflectivity) are calculated and discussed in details. The amount of reflectivity was always more than around 50% with no significant change in the near infrared, visible light and near ultraviolet region (up to ~6 eV), which results a promising coating material to diminish solar heating as well.

description: Farmers frequently need to deal with several pests simultaneously. Despite this co-occurrence, damages produced by pests and diseases (P&D) are often studied and treated separately as they can be caused by distant taxa including fungi, nematodes and insects. P&D can enhance or hamper the incidence of each other, making of these interactions important modulators of the real impact of P&D on the plant. Interactions between P&D, abiotic conditions and resource availability can affect the composition of the P&D community at the temporal and spatial scale. Therefore, comprehensive analyses including all these factors are needed to better understand the spatio-temporal effect of P&D on crop production and to help design sustainable management strategies. In this preliminary study we explored spatio-temporal patterns in P&D incidence affecting cocoa agroforestry systems, their possible correlation with pod production and climate (mean temperature and precipitation), and potential spatio-temporal patterns of co-infection at the tree level in the Peruvian Amazon region of San Martin. Over the course of one year we collected data on the incidence of three cocoa pests: black pod disease (BPD) – due to Phytophtora palmivora, frosty pod rot disease (FPRD) – due to Moniliophtora roreri and the emergent local pest American cocoa pod borer (APB) - Carmenta foraseminis. Damages produced by other agents such as birds and sunburns were also recorded. We found that P&D incidence was correlated to total cocoa pod production. No geographical pattern was detected on P&D incidence profile suggesting that P&D population species are not expanding or contracting in the area and that none of the plots has enhancers or hampers that favour differently P&D incidences. FPRD is the prevalent diseases in the area, thus managing practices such as removal and proper elimination of infected pods need to be the priority in the region. We found that warmer temperatures were correlated to higher incidences of BPD and BPD+APB and drier conditions to damages produced by "other" agents. Correlation between P&D incidences and microclimatic conditions still need to be explored to better understand the effect of climate on P&D incidence and to provide recommendations to counteract this trend through microclimate manipulation. Neither temporal nor spatial conditions favour coinfection at the tree level, suggesting that pods are not a limiting resource in the area and that pests avoid interactions. Whether results are similar at pod level needs to be explored.

Geometry of Orientifolds with NS-NS B-flux
Creators: name: Kakushadze, Zurab
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss geometry underlying orientifolds with non-trivial NS-NS B-flux. If D-branes wrap a torus with B-flux the rank of the gauge group is reduced due to non-commuting Wilson lines whose presence is implied by the B-flux. In the case of D-branes transverse to a torus with B-flux the rank reduction is due to a smaller number of D-branes required by tadpole cancellation conditions in the presence of B-flux as some of the orientifold planes now have the opposite orientifold projection. We point out that T-duality in the presence of B-flux is more subtle than in the case with trivial B-flux, and it is precisely consistent with the qualitative difference between the aforementioned two setups. In the case where both types of branes are present, the states in the mixed (e.g., 59) open string sectors come with a non-trivial multiplicity, which we relate to a discrete gauge symmetry due to non-zero B-flux, and construct vertex operators for the the mixed sector states. Using these results we revisit K3 orientifolds with B-flux (where K3 is a T^4/Z_M orbifold) and point out various subtleties arising in some of these models. For instance, in the Z_2 case the conformal field theory orbifold does not appear to be the consistent background for the corresponding orientifolds with B-flux. This is related to the fact that non-zero B-flux requires the presence of both O5^- as well as O5^+ planes at various Z_2 orbifold fixed points, which appears to be inconsistent with the presence of the twisted B-flux in the conformal field theory orbifold. We also consider four dimensional N=2 and N=1 supersymmetric orientifolds. We construct consistent four dimensional models with B-flux which do not suffer from difficulties encountered in the K3 cases.

description: Previous data have shown the prominent clinical efficacy of gefitinib in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, its therapeutic efficacy is limited because of the development of gefitinib resistance. This research is designed to investigate the role of circRNA SET domain containing 3, actin histidine (circ_SETD3) in the sensitivity of NSCLC to gefitinib. The expression of circ_SETD3, microRNA-873-5p (miR-873-5p) and amyloid protein-binding protein 2 (APPBP2) was detected by qRT-PCR. Protein expression was determined by western blot analysis or immunohistochemistry assay. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration of gefitinib was determined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell proliferation was investigated by 5-Ethynyl-29-deoxyuridine (EdU), cell colony formation and MTT assays. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide double staining assay. Transwell assay was employed to evaluate cell migration and invasion. Additionally, the binding relationship between miR-873-5p and circ_SETD3 or APPBP2 was predicted by starbase online database, and identified by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Further, circ_SETD3 silencing-mediated effect on tumor sensitivity to gefitinib in vivo was confirmed by xenograft mouse model experiment. Circ_SETD3 and APPBP2 expression were upregulated, while miR-873-5p was downregulated in gefitinib-resistant NSCLC tissues and cells compared with gefitinib-sensitive NSCLC tissues or cells. Reduced expression of circ_SETD3 repressed gefitinib resistance, proliferation, migration and invasion, but induced apoptosis of gefitinib-resistant NSCLC cells. Additionally, circ_SETD3 modulated gefitinib sensitivity and tumor development by binding to miR-873-5p. APPBP2 upregulation attenuated miR-873-5p-mediated gefitinib sensitivity and NSCLC progression. Furthermore, circ_SETD3 absence improved tumor sensitivity to gefitinib in vivo. Circ_SETD3 knockdown improved gefitinib sensitivity and repressed NSCLC cell malignancy via miR-873-5p/APPBP2 axis, which provides a theoretical basis for using circ_SETD3-based therapeutic strategies to improve NSCLC sensitivity to gefitinib.

The mitochondrial translocator protein in human gliomas
Creators: name: Janczar, Karolina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The translocator protein (TSPO) is an 18 kDa molecule spanning the outer mitochondrial membrane. Structural predictions, reported physical interactions and experimental data from diverse models suggest that TSPO is involved in apoptosis, proliferation and steroidogenesis. TSPO is up-regulated in several human cancers and its high levels are frequently associated with advanced disease and poor outcome. TSPO was shown to be up-regulated in astrocytomas and this was correlated with high tumour grade and shorter patient survival. Here it is confirmed that TSPO is highly expressed in astrocytomas and this is correlated with tumour grade. TSPO expression is significantly higher in astrocytic tumours than in oligodendrogliomas and this differential expression is epigenetically driven. Low TSPO expression in oligodendrogliomas is associated with frequent promoter methylation, whereas in astrocytomas, where TSPO is expressed at high levels, the promoter typically remains unmethylated. As oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas have very different biology and prognosis, and several TSPO ligands, including those enabling positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, are in development, we propose pre-operative PET imaging to differentiate these two histotypes. TSPO is not an independent prognostic factor in our patient population. The main cell population expressing TSPO within the tumour bulk are neoplastic cells. Consistent with no evidence for TSPO as a strong prognostic factor in gliomas, no alteration in proliferation, cell cycle progression and baseline or induced apoptosis following TSPO siRNA knock-down in an in vitro astrocytoma model is demonstrated. Furthermore, there was no evidence of cortisol production by several astrocytoma cell lines in vitro despite TSPO protein expression. Out of the examined MPTP-related binding and functional partners of TSPO (VDAC1, ANT, HK I and II) only HKII up-regulation appears be reproducibly related to patient outcome in gliomas. Consistently, targeting hexokinases in vitro in a glioma model inhibited proliferation and increased apoptosis.

description: One way to hunt for top squarks is to look for deviations from the Standard Model in loop level processes involving Higgses. This method is indirect, but complementary to direct searches as it does not rely on specific top squark decays. Studying inclusive Higgs production $pp \to h$ alone is insufficient, since there are parameter regions where the effects of the two top squarks approximately cancel. This degeneracy can be broken by looking at the rate for highly boosted Higgses recoiling against a jet, $pp \to h + \text{jet}$. In this paper we perform a detailed study of the complementarity of the inclusive and highly boosted processes at the LHC, both in existing Run 1 and Run 2 data, and looking forward to high luminosity. To break the degeneracy, our calculation must maintain the full mass dependence in the loop functions and therefore cannot be recast in an effective field theory framework. We quantify the dependence of both topologies in the top squark parameter space, and outline which levels of experimental and theoretical understanding would be needed for boosted Higgses to be competitive with inclusive Higgs production.

description: This report is a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties Archeological Site Survey, Basic Data Report for the site T14, 18CH226. This site is located on the east side of Cedar Point Neck, about 150m northwest of the Potomac River. A marshy unnamed tributary of the river lies 250m to the east. The site lies in a disced firebreak and is bisected by a road. The site is probably confined to plowzone. This prehistoric lithic scatter, like 18CH225, has been disced and bisected by a road. Its contents are similar to 18CH225, and it is believed by Geo-Recon that these remains represent an occupation of similar age and iunction. This site held scattered quartz and quartzite debitage and bifaces.
Structural and functional characterisation of novel bacterial Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-like proteins.

description: The extracellular domain of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognises highly specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns in innate immunity. This causes molecular rearrangement of the intracellular Toll/Interleukin-1 (TIR) domains of the TLRs allowing recruitment of downstream adaptor proteins via heterotypic TIR-TIR protein interactions. This in turn initiates a signalling cascade leading to proinflammatory immune responses. Recent work has indicated that TIR-like proteins (TLPs)from pathogenic bacteria contain TIR domains and interfere with host TLR signalling. Bacterial TLPs are suggested to bind to the TIR domains of host TLRs and/or adaptor proteins, thereby inhibiting intracellular signalling. This project focuses on characterisation of the TLPs from the highly pathogenic bacteria Yersinia pestis (YpTLP) and Burkholderia pseudomallei (BpTLP). The aim of the project was to produce soluble, pure and stable TLPs of yields suitable for functional and structural studies. Bacterial TLPs were expressed in E. coli. Expression of the full-length YpTLP and BpTLP using pWaldo-GFPe yielded 2.78 mg/l and 2.52 mg/l respectively. Protein purification steps were complicated by protein precipitation, possible degradation and misfolding. Subsequent efforts focused on the expression of the TIR only domain/homologue regions: YpTIR and BpTIR. Soluble YpTIR and BpTIR were expressed using pET26b. GST pull down assays indicated positive interactions between His-tagged YpTIR/BpTIR and GST-tagged human MyD88-TIR, a major adaptor protein, revealing MyD88 as a potential target of the bacterial TLPs. However expression yields of pure protein were too low to allow further studies. YpTIR and BpTIR were then expressed as fusions with an N-terminal GB1 tag using GEV2. Subsequent purification produced highly pure GB1-YpTIR (5 mg/l). NMR analysis indicated that the protein was folded and likely to be in a dimeric form, a finding confirmed by gel filtration. Native and derivative crystals of YpTIR were obtained, and native diffraction datasets collected to 2.95 A. Further work includes obtaining the phase information. It is anticipated that the crystal structure of YpTIR will provide insight into the molecular basis of TIR signalling and evidence of evolutionary conservation among TIR domains.

description: Se. (Ser.) cincta (Parrot & Martin, 1944)
This species belongs to the “Fallax group”. The male cannot be distinguished from those of Se. antennata. The female of Se. cincta exhibits fewer cibarial teeth (<20) than Se. antennata (>22).
Se. cincta is mainly distributed throughout eastern Africa, but has also been reported in West Africa [1, 67, 69]. It was recently found in Cameroon [69]. Taking into consideration the number of cibarial teeth as a valid specific character, we identified the female specimens of Oman as Se. cincta and associated males, pending revision of this group, using molecular tools to check whether Se. cincta is individualised from Se. antennata.
This is the first record of Se. cincta in the Arabian Peninsula. In Oman, we recorded it mostly in the Sharqiyah, and a few specimens in the Dhofar.

description: We investigate strong-coupling effects in a three-component atomic Fermi gas. It is a promising candidate for simulating quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and furthermore, the emergence of various phenomena such as color superfluidity and Efimov effect are anticipated in this system. In this paper, we study the effects of two-body and three-body correlations by means of the many-body $T$-matrix approximation (TMA) as well as the Skorniakov-Ter-Martirosian (STM) equation with medium corrections. We investigate the effects of finite temperature and chemical potential on the trimer binding energy at the superfluid critical point of the unitarity limit.

Role for DLK1 in neuronal differentiation of mouse and human embryonic stem cells
Creators: name: Surmacz, Beata
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: One of the fundamental goals in neuroscience is to understand how the diverse types of neurons are generated by stem and progenitor cells in the vertebrate central nervous system. To understand the mechanism that underlies this process, a greater knowledge of the molecular control of the acquisition of neuronal identity is still required. This knowledge is not only important for understanding of normal central nervous system development, but is also key to uncovering the mechanisms of neurological diseases. In the last decades a great progress in the in vivo studies has been made, thus enabling for generation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in vitro. There are a few signalling molecules and growth factors known to be involved in the progression of NPCs to neurons in vitro and in vivo, which act as components of signalling pathways such as Notch, Shh and Wnt. Role of Notch pathway is however the best characterised. In this thesis a role for protein that belongs to the family of Notch receptors and ligands, called Delta like 1-homologue (DLK1), in neuronal differentiation of ESCs-derived NPCs was investigated. Firstly time course of DLK1 expression during in vitro neuronal differentiation of mouse ESCs and in the developing mouse brain was examined. The results indicated that the expression of DLK1 is associated with neuronal differentiation. Following that the effect of DLK1 on the differentiation and proliferation of hESCs and mESCs-derived NPCs was tested. Induction of DLK1 in mNPCs, by making use of CreERT2 system, as well exposure of hNPCs to the molecule resulted in positive modulation of the number of differentiated neurons. Moreover DLK1 did not seem to have any effect on cell proliferation. Lastly to addresses a question whether DLK1 acts through Notch pathway, Hes1 luciferase assay was applied. The data showed that DLK1 negatively regulates Hes1 luciferase activity in mNPCs and hNPCs. Downregulation of Hes1 transcript was further confirmed by qPCR. Taken together studies described in this thesis propose a novel function for DLK1 as one of the molecules involved in the complex cascade of factors modulating neuronal differentiation.
