Adult life course determinants of cardiac structure and function in the Medical Research Council 1946 birth cohort
Creators: name: Ghosh, Arjun Kumar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Background: Elevated blood pressure (BP) and body mass index (BMI) are associated with abnormalities of cardiac structure and dysfunction in cross-sectional studies. However the consequence of elevated BP and BMI over the adult life course on cardiac structure and function is unknown. Methods: Participants in the Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development (MRC NSHD) 1946 birth cohort (n=1653) underwent investigations including echocardiography and BP and BMI measurement at age 60-64y. BP had been measured previously at ages 36, 43 and 53y and BMI had previously been measured at ages 20, 26, 36, 43 and 53y. The relationships between BP, treatment for hypertension (HTT) and BMI and echocardiographic determinants of cardiac structure and function at age 60-64y were investigated. Results: Increased BP from age 36y onwards was associated with increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and poorer diastolic function (E/e’). This was independent of BP at age 60-64y for BP measured at age 53y. Faster rises of BP across mid-life were associated with greater increases in LVMI and E/e’. HTT was associated with increased LVMI and E/e’ after adjustment for BP at age 60-64y. Associations with systolic function were inconsistent. Increased BMI and overweight from the age of 20y onwards was associated with increased LVMI and poorer diastolic function. On including BMI/overweight at ages 60-64y, the associations remained for some ages (e.g. for ages 26y and 43y for LVMI and from age 36y onwards for E/e’). Earlier age at first detection of overweight was associated with increased LVMI and diastolic dysfunction. Associations with systolic function were inconsistent. Conclusions: Increased adult life course BP and BMI are associated with increased LVMI and diastolic dysfunction. Increased rate of change in BP is associated with detrimental effects to cardiac structure and function as is HTT. Earlier age of first detection of overweight is associated with increased LVMI and diastolic dysfunction. Earlier interventions to prevent rapid rises in BP and the development of obesity may be key in preventing future abnormalities in cardiac structure and function.
Some contributions to particle Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms
Creators: name: Persing, Adam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Hidden Markov models (HMMs) (Cappe et al., 2005) and discrete time stopped Markov processes (Del Moral, 2004, Section 2.2.3) are used to model phenomena in a wide range of fields. However, as practitioners develop more intricate models, analytical Bayesian inference becomes very difficult. In light of this issue, this work focuses on sampling from the posteriors of HMMs and stopped Markov processes using sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) (Doucet et al. 2008, Doucet et al. 2001, Gordon et al. 1993) and, more importantly, particle Markov chain Monte Carlo (PMCMC) (Andrieu et al., 2010). The thesis consists of three major contributions, which enhance the performance of PMCMC. The first work focuses on HMMs, and it begins by introducing a new SMC smoothing (Briers et al. 2010, Fearnhead et al. 2010) estimate of the HMM's normalising constant; we prove the estimate's unbiasedness and a central limit theorem. We use this estimate to develop new PMCMC algorithms that, under certain algorithmic settings, require less computational time than the algorithms of Andrieu et al. (2010). Our new estimate also leads to the discovery of an optimal setting for the smoothers of Briers et al. (2010) and Fearnhead et al. (2010). As this setting is not available for the general class of HMMs, we develop three algorithms for approximating it. The second major work builds from Jasra et al. (2013) and Whiteley et al. (2012) to develop new SMC and PMCMC algorithms that draw from HMMs whose observations have intractable density functions. While these types of algorithms have appeared before (see Jasra et al. 2013, Jasra et al. 2012, and Martin et al. 2012), this work uses twisted proposals as in Whiteley et al. (2012) to reduce the variance of SMC estimates of the normalising constant to improve the convergence of PMCMC in some scenarios. Finally, the third project is concerned with inferring the unknown parameters of stopped Markov processes that are only observed upon reaching their terminal sets. Bayesian inference has not been attempted on this class of problems before. The parameters are inferred through two new adaptive and non-adaptive PMCMC algorithms.

description: We study the optical properties of the Ruddlesden-Popper series of iridates Sr$_{n+1}$Ir$_n$O$_{3n+1}$ ($n$=1, 2 and $\infty$) by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE), where the quasiparticle (QP) energies and screened interactions $W$ are obtained by the $GW$ approximation including spin-orbit coupling. The computed optical conductivity spectra show strong excitonic effects and reproduce very well the experimentally observed double-peak structure, in particular for the spin-orbital Mott insulators Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ and Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$. However, $GW$ does not account well for the correlated metallic state of SrIrO$_3$ owing to a much too small band renormalization, and this affects the overall quality of the optical conductivity. Our analysis describes well the progressive redshift of the main optical peaks as a function of dimensionality ($n$), which is correlated with the gradual decrease of the electronic correlation (quantified by the constrained random phase approximation) towards the metallic $n=\infty$ limit. We have also assessed the quality of a computationally cheaper BSE approach that is based on a model dielectric function and conducted on top of DFT+$U$ one-electron energies. Unfortunately, this model BSE approach does not accurately reproduce the outcome of the full $GW$+BSE method and leads to larger deviations to the measured spectra.

Towards a Structural Understanding of the Mechanism of Action of Dimeric HCV Inhibitors
Creators: name: Lambert, Sebastian Mark
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is expected to be an increasing global healthcare burden. HCV Infection can progress to major chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). No protective vaccine currently exists against hepatitis C and current therapies are ineffective. NS5A is an essential component of the HCV with roles in RNA replication, modulation of the host cell and assembly of viral particles, however no precise function of NS5A has been established. New direct acting antivirals (DAA) such as daclatasvir (DCV), a dimeric compound which targets NS5A with picomolar potency, are showing promise in clinical trials. The exact nature of how these compounds have an inhibitory effect on HCV is unknown; however resistance mutations appear in the NS5A domain 1. Genotype 1a HCV is less affected by these compounds and resistance mutations have a greater effect than in the 1b genotypes. We have obtained crystals of domain 1 of the important 1a NS5A genotype and intriguingly, our X-ray crystal structure shows two new dimeric forms of this domain. Our new NS5A domain 1 dimers serve as additional candidate targets for inhibitors and could explain the role of NS5A in the regulation of HCV replication. The high solvent content (75%) of our crystal form makes it ideal for ligand-soaking, however we did not observe the presence of DCV in soaks with our crystals. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, we further investigated the binding of DCV to NS5A constructs which included the key resistance mutation sites. These extended constructs appeared to have slightly altered conformations which allow a weak interaction with DCV. This data and subsequent studies will give new insights into the roles of NS5A in the HCV replication complex and the mechanism of action of this class of DAA.
Fracture toughness and creep of mullite and mullite based composites
Creators: name: Glymond, Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Mullite is considered a promising candidate for ceramic recuperators in turbo propelled engines, due to its low thermal conductivity, adequate thermal shock resistance, low cost, low density, thermodynamic stability, and reasonable strength at high temperatures. Unfortunately, the limited fracture toughness of mullite (~1.8-2.8 MPa m1/2) is considered too low. A reliable way of improving fracture toughness in a range of materials has been to tailor the microstructure to contain elongated grains capable of bridging cracks. In this thesis the tailoring of mullite microstructures using a range of processing methods is reported: reactive sintering of mixtures of alumina and silica, sol-gel synthesis of mullite and the use of sol-gel derived additives to enhance the sintering of commercial mullite powders. The differences in morphologies produced as well as the influence on indentation fracture toughness is described. The addition of ceria stabilised zirconia has been shown to improve the room temperature toughness of mullite to 4.7 MPa m1/2. In this work the toughening mechanisms of this and two other mullite zirconia composites (monoclinic zirconia and yttria stabilised zirconia) are investigated, as well as the effect of temperature on the toughness of the composites. It is unknown what effect the addition of the zirconia materials to mullite has on the other properties of the material. In this work the effect on the creep resistance is investigated, with mechanistic observations presented.
Regulation Of interleukin-6 cytokine responses by mitogen activated protein kinases
Creators: name: Bonito Monteiro, Nair Andreia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Interleukin (IL)-6-type cytokines signal through glycoprotein (gp) 130, which is a key component of their receptor complex. Upon stimulation, gp130 mediates the activation of Janus kinases (JAKs) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1 and ERK2, phosphoinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) and AKTs. Here, it is demonstrated that ERK2, but not ERK1, controls the expression and function of gp130. Silencing ERK2 in human osteosarcoma U2OS cells with short interfering (si) RNAs nearly obliterated gp130 expression, and this effect could be seen in cancer cell lines from different origins (e.g. breast, prostate, lung and cervix) that possess different mutational backgrounds, as well as in non-cancer cell lines (prostate and kidney). Interestingly, this regulation was not observed to the same extent in two mouse cell lines (MEF and NIH3T3) tested. Chemical inhibition of ERK1/2 did not have an impact on the receptor expression suggesting that the regulation of gp130 by ERK2 is independent of its canonical kinase activity. Importantly, ERK2 binds to the GP130 promoter, thereby decreasing gp130 expression, possibly by interacting with the transcriptional machinery. RNAi against ERK2 led to a reduction in RNA polymerase II activation, and luciferase reporter assays containing GP130 promoter and messenger RNA stability experiments also suggested that ERK2 has a transcriptional role important for the regulation of gp130 protein expression. Together, the data identity a new role for ERK2, not shared by ERK1, in the regulation of gp130 and that may be involved in cancer progression and inflammation. Additionally, genetic ablation of AKT2 and AKT3, two key components of the PI3K pathway that, under certain cellular backgrounds, are also activated downstream of the gp130 receptor, also impacts on gp130 expression. In this case, however, AKT enzymatic activation appears to be required. The precise mechanism that couples AKT to gp130 is currently unknown.

description: Over the last few years it was pointed out that certain observables of time-evolving quantum systems may have singularities at certain moments in time, mimicking the singularities physical systems have when undergoing phase transitions. These were given the name of dynamical phase transitions. They were shown to exist in certain integrable (exactly solvable) quantum systems, and were seen experimentally in some setups related (but not identical) to these solvable models. The "universality classes" of such singularities were not yet convincingly established, however. We argue that random field Ising models feature singularities in time which may potentially be present in a wider variety of quantum systems, in particular in those which are many body localized, and describe these singularities in detail analytically.

The ubiquitin pathway in host-parasite interactions during infection by Trichinella spiralis
Creators: name: White, Rhiannon Rose
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: These studies present the identification of the first parasite secreted ubiquitin pathway enzyme, and report a system for the characterisation of the role of Trichinella spiralis secreted proteins in the context of mammalian muscle cell re-programming. T. spiralis invade terminally differentiated myofibres, secreting proteins (SP) into the host cell and inducing dedifferentiation and cell cycle re-entry. Since myogenic differentiation and the cell cycle are heavily influenced by the ubiquitin pathway, this study used T. spiralis as a model to investigate the extent to which parasites specifically manipulate the ubiquitin pathway during infection. Ubiquitin is ligated to protein substrates by E1, E2 and E3 enzymes, and removed by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). This ubiquitin 'tag' regulates the fate and function of the substrate protein. A DUB expressed by T. spiralis, TsUCH37, was characterised as a conserved proteasome interaction partner, however no evidence was found of the presence of this, or any other T. spiralis DUB in the muscle larvae SP. Upon further investigation an E2 enzyme, TsUBE2L3, was identified. The ubiquitin conjugation activity of T. spiralis SP was confirmed, and was only possible in the presence of human E1 and E3 enzyme partners. The effect of TsUBE2L3 on mammalian muscle cells was investigated by expressing the T. spiralis protein in a mouse muscle cell line. Although no significant effect on the cell cycle or differentiation state of the muscle cells was observed, TsUBE2L3 expression led to a significant reduction of the tumour suppressor protein, p53 that was confirmed to occur at the protein level. T. spiralis strikes a delicate balance between host cell modulation and host protection. This thesis builds on the proposal that the host-targeted muscle cell modulators of T. spiralis may inspire the development of parasite-derived therapeutics for the treatment of disease.

description: Action Space - Defining Sound Design in low budget documentary film
The term ‘Sound Design’ was originally conceived by Walter Murch for his work on the Francis Ford Coppola films of the 1970’s. Murch’s role went beyond the technical responsibilities of the films soundtrack, to more artistic and aesthetic sonic considerations (Buhler, Flinn, & Neumeyer, 2000). However this ideal has been difficult to realise in modern day Hollywood, which with its inherent divisions of labour and industrialised processes, has been resistant to the idea of the sole sound designer having responsibility across all aspects of the soundtrack (Kalinak, 2015).
In contrast, low budget documentary film relies on minimal crew who are manoeuvrable and adaptable, the sound department often consists of one person responsible for many roles. Can such imposed financial limitations provoke a more creative, consistent and holistic approach to film sound, more akin to Murch’s ideal as sound designer as overall sonic architect?
This question is investigated via practice in Action Space (2016), a low-budget documentary film in which I acted as sound designer. The research inquiry is investigated via technical and aesthetic approaches to the sound and by taking overall creative control of the soundtrack. This was made possible via the democratisation of digital audio technology, affording a sense of ‘play’ and experimentation, utilising techniques more associated with the sound design of fiction film (Rogers, 2010). Involvement through every stage of the film’s production allowed me to develop a tacit understanding of the whole sound design process.
This research is explicated in detail in Item2, the accompanying book chapter; Auralising Action Space: Channelling a Sense of Play in Documentary Sound Design.
The findings from these practice-based outputs reveal that channelling a sense of 'play' and adopting audio techniques used in non-documentary film allow sound to enhance the multisensory aspect of documentary. Furthermore, financial restrictions imposed from low budget filmmaking can afford a more creative and holistic approach to film sound design.

description: Electroporation is a complex, iterative, and nonlinear phenomenon that is often studied by numerical simulations. In recent years, tissue electroporation simulations have been performed using static models. However, the results of a static model simulation are restricted to a fixed protocol signature of the pulsed electric field. This paper describes a novel dynamic model of tissue electroporation that also includes tissue dispersion and temperature to allow time-domain simulations. We implemented the biological dispersion of potato tubers and thermal analysis in a commercial finite element method software. A cell electroporation model was adapted to account for the increase in tissue conductivity. The model yielded twelve parameters, divided into three dynamic states of electroporation. Thermal analysis describes the dependence of tissue conductivity on temperature. The model parameters were evaluated using experiments with vegetal tissue (Solanum tuberosum) under electrochemotherapy protocols. The proposed model can accurately predict the conductivity of tissue under electroporation from 10 kV/m to 100 kV/m. A negligible thermal effect was observed at 100 kV/m, with a 0.89 °C increase. We believe that the proposed model is suitable for describing the electroporation current on a tissue scale and also for providing a hint on the effects on the cell membrane.

description: Recent Chandra X-ray observations of many galaxy clusters find evidence for hot metal-rich outflows preferentially aligned with the large-scale axes of X-ray cavities with typical outflow masses of around $10^{9} $ - $10^{10} M_{\odot}$. Here we perform a suite of three hydrodynamic simulations to investigate whether AGN jets could drive these metal-rich outflows in a representative cluster. By using both the tracer variable and virtual particle methods, and additionally following the gas metallicity evolution, we show that metal-rich gas initially located in central regions can indeed be uplifted by the AGN bubble to large distances, a phenomenon called Darwin drift in fluid mechanics, and forming a filamentary trailing outflow extending beyond $100$ kpc behind the bubble. The gas entrained in the trailing outflow is entirely outflowing with an average outflow rate of nearly $100M_{\odot}$/yr during the first $100$ Myr, and at later times, a growing lower part flows back towards the cluster center due to gravity. The outflow mass rises up to about $10^{10} M_{\odot}$ with entrained iron mass of about $10^{6} - 10^{7}M_{\odot}$, consistent with observations and predictions from the drift model. By the end of our simulation ($\sim 800$ Myr after the AGN event), several $10^{9}M_{\odot}$ of the uplifted high-metallicity gas still remains at large altitudes, potentially contributing to the enrichment of the bulk ICM and the broadening of central metallicity peaks observed in cool core clusters.

description: Everything nowadays is digital and the COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced this trend. We want children and young people to be digitally skilled. But their digital skills are unequally distributed and this is not without consequences. We need digital skill indicators for individuals in order to be better placed to offer adequate support to those who need it the most. Without appropriate indicators how can we be certain about which areas of digital skills require more attention? Or how can we know which sectors of the population are in most need of support? Generating meaningful policies requires that they are firmly grounded on sound evidence and yet, when it comes to children’s engagement with digital technologies there is an underdevelopment of measures for testing the softer, non-technical skills that allow young people to creatively, critically and safely interact with digital technologies such as social media. The overarching aim of ySKILLS is to enhance and maximise long-term positive impact of the ICT environment on multiple asects of wellbeing for all children and young people by stimulating resilience through the enhancement of digital skills. In order to achieve this overarching aim, the ySKILLS team seeks to acquire extensive knowledge and better measurement of digital skills in order to contribute to building evidence-based policy. We also aim to explain the uneven distribution of digital skills through a model that identifies the actors and factors and the pathways that lead to the acquisition of digital skills and their complex impacts on children's cognitive, physical and social wellbeing to generate insightful evidence-based recommendations and strategies for key stakeholder groups in order to promote European children’s digital skills and wellbeing. In 2020, the first year of activities, the ySKILLS team held many online meetings, listened to children and spoke with experts from education and the labour market. We produced six content reports that looked at a multitude of definitions and measures of digital skills. Both broad and narrow definitions of digital skills are used in the literature. Such an exercise offers different perspectives for our view of the antecedents (e.g. social context of the child) and consequences of digital skills (e.g. offline opportunities). An important question in this regard is: Are we taking a multidimensional view of digital skills or are we looking at specific dimensions, such as information literacy or computer programming? We understand digital skills as a diverse set of operational, information navigation, communicative, and creative competences, which are unequally distributed and influenced by a number of individual and contextual variables.

description: The Frenkel line, a crossover line between rigid and nonrigid dynamics of fluid particles, has recently been the subject of intense debate regarding its relevance as a partitioning line of supercritical phase, where the main criticism comes from the theoretical treatment of collective particle dynamics. From an independent point of view, this Letter suggests that the two-phase thermodynamics model may alleviate this contentious situation. The model offers new criteria for defining the Frenkel line in the supercritical region and builds a robust connection among the preexisting, seemingly inconsistent definitions. In addition, one of the dynamic criteria locates the rigid-nonrigid transition of the soft-sphere and the hard-sphere models. Hence, we suggest the Frenkel line be considered as a dynamic rigid-nonrigid fluid boundary, without any relation to gas-liquid transition. These findings provide an integrative viewpoint combining fragmentized definitions of the Frenkel line, allowing future studies to be carried out in a more reliable manner.

description: We measure the extent of 100 micron galactic emission in two independent galaxy samples using the IRAS 100 micron Sky Survey images and constrain the distribution of dust at large ($\ltsim$30 kpc) radii. The first sample consists of 90 nearby (v < 6000 km/s) galaxies from the RC3 catalog with similar angular sizes and absolute luminosities (5 arcmin $\leq $D$_{25} \leq$ 10 arcmin and $-22.5 \leq $M$_{B} \leq -18$) that are isolated in the 100 micron images. The second sample consists of 24 local galaxies (v < 1500 km/s, 10 arcmin $\leq $D$_{25} \leq$ 30 arcmin). We rescale the 100 micron images of these galaxies using their optical diameters, D$_{25}$, rotate the images using their optical major axis position angle, construct the mean and median image, and rebin the final images into polar coordinates to study the 100 micron emission as a function of radius and azimuthal angle. We find that the 100 micron emission extends at least to radii of 27 kpc (2$σ$ detection) for the typical galaxy in the 5 arcmin - 10 arcmin sample and to 21 kpc (2$σ$ detection) in the 10 arcmin - 30 arcmin sample (H$_{0} = $75 km/s/Mpc). In both samples, the emission is preferentially elongated along the optical major axis. We fit an exponential to the 100 micron emission along the major axis and measure a scale length of $2.5 \pm$ 0.8 kpc (90% confidence interval). Using a simple model that relates the far-IR emission to the stellar distribution, we examine the range of acceptable dust mass distributions allowed by our data and conclude that the dust is more extended than the starlight.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this Remedial Investigation Report (RIR) is to present the results of the remedial investigation (RI) conducted for the DuPont Pompton Lakes Works (PLW) located in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. Soil sampling was completed offsite at the Acid Brook delta uplands and Pompton Lake shoreline areas to delineate and characterize potential impacts associated with the former DuPont PLW operations.A remedial investigation was completed for the Acid Brook Delta Uplands to complete the delineation of site-specific metals within the surface and subsurface soil. Existing soil data was used to focus the delineation sampling. The delta uplands was divided into five areas (Areas A through E) to delineate the vertical and horizontal extent of COC in soil to the established soil screening criteria. Following implementation of the approved RIWP, delineation of all areas was completed.Soil sampling within the floodplain was also conducted to determine whether or not historic flooding may have deposited sediments containing site-related metals onto the shoreline properties. A floodplain analysis was completed to determine the low lying areas near the lake. Samples were then collected and analyzed for lead and mercury for characterization purposes in accordance with the approved work plan. The results of the shoreline sampling indicate that the surface soils have not been impacted by Acid Brook Delta sediment during flooding events.Remedial actions for the delineated Upland Areas will be determined and completed as part of the corrective measures established for the comprehensive Pompton Lake delta area. For the shoreline properties, no additional investigation is warranted as part of the RI process.
Mass generation from tachyon condensation for vector fields on D-branes

description: The level truncation approach to string field theory is used to study the zero-momentum action for vector excitations on a bosonic D-brane which has been annihilated by tachyon condensation. It is shown that in the true vacuum the translation zero modes associated with transverse scalars on the D-brane are lifted by spontaneous generation of mass terms. Similarly, the U(1) gauge field on the brane develops a nonzero mass term.

description: Landerman begins this interview by describing his upbringing in West Hartford, Connecticut and his early impressions of Duke University, including its political atmosphere. Landerman explains how attending civil rights demonstrations in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1962 shifted his passion from athletics to politics. He describes Duke CORE, including the organization's structure and its early leaders, Sara Evans and Harry Boyd. He recalls his experience participating in the Durham desegregation campaign in May of 1963, for which he was arrested and missed a semester of school. Landerman explains his decision to leave Duke for the Mississippi Freedom Summer Project. Landerman details his experiences in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, including his connection to Hattiesburg's Black teenagers. He describes the small, rural communities he has worked in across the south. He also recalls the Waveland Conference of 1964, and his experiences canvassing. Landerman concludes his recollections with a summation of his life after Mississippi. He discusses the student initiative he co-founded in 1965 to lift up the poor white community in Durham, North Carolina. Finally, Landerman discusses the flaws of the group, his evolving position on the women's movement, and the social pressures and willingness of civil rights workers to risk their personal safety
Redshift effects implications on revised models of Stephan's quintet

description: Recent observations of Stephan's Quintet gave new indications on its formation scenario. Older formation and a role of NCG 7317 should be considered in revised numerical models of the compact group. Velocities of group members to recreate are estimated from redshift measurements. Several effects contribute to observed redshifts and a new effect is predicted to be the result of the gravitational interaction between photons and constant magnetic fields creating gravitational waves. The energy carried by these waves is manifested as redshifts of photons. Cosmological simulations data are used to prove the significant contribution of our effect. The analysis of synthetic observations created from those simulations has shown that redshifts differences of Stephanes Quintet members could be misinterpreted as caused only from Doppler Effect. The revised models of the group should consider a new method to recreate the formation scenario based on redshift patterns and not mis-estimated velocities.

BRST Quantization of Gauge Theory in Noncommutative Geometry: Matrix Derivative Approach

description: The BRST quantization of a gauge theory in noncommutative geometry is carried out in the ``matrix derivative" approach. BRST/anti-BRST transformation rules are obtained by applying the horizontality condition, in the superconnection formalism. A BRST/anti-BRST invariant quantum action is then constructed, using an adaptation of the method devised by Baulieu and Thierry-Mieg for the Yang-Mills case. The resulting quantum action turns out to be the same as that of a gauge theory in the 't Hooft gauge with spontaneously broken symmetry. Our result shows that only the even part of the supergroup acts as a gauge symmetry, while the odd part effectively provides a global symmetry. We treat the general formalism first, then work out the $SU(2/1)$ and $SU(2/2)$ cases explicitly.

description: We present an independent catalog (FRIIRGcat) of 45,241 Fanaroff-Riley Type II (FR-II) radio galaxies compiled from the Very Large Array Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-centimeters (FIRST) survey and employed the deep learning method. Among them, optical and/or infrared counterparts are identified for 41,425 FR-IIs. This catalog spans luminosities $2.63\times10^{22}\leq L_{\rm rad}\leq6.76\times10^{29}\,{\rm W}\,{\rm Hz}^{-1}$ and redshifts up to $z=5.01$. The spectroscopic classification indicates that there are 1431 low-excitation radio galaxies and 260 high-excitation radio galaxies. Among the spectroscopically identified sources, black hole masses are estimated for 4837 FR-IIs, which are in $10^{7.5}\lesssim M_{\rm BH}\lesssim 10^{9.5}$ $M_{\odot}$. Interestingly, this catalog reveals a couple of giant radio galaxies (GRGs), which are already in the existing GRG catalog, confirming the efficiency of this FR-II catalog. Furthermore, 284 new GRGs are unveiled in this new FR-II sample; they have the largest projected sizes ranging from 701 to 1209 kpc and are located at redshifts $0.31
