description: Introduction: To increase precision of radiation treatment (RT) delivery in prostate cancer, MRI-based RT as well as the use of fiducials like gold markers (GMs) have shown promising results. Their combined use is currently under investigation in clinical trials. Here, we aimed to evaluate a workflow of image registration based on GMs between CT and MRI as well as weekly MRI-MRI adaption based on T2 TSE sequence. Material and methods: A gel-phantom with two inserted GMs was scanned with CT and three different MR-scanners of 1.5 and 3 T (T2 TSE and T1 VIBE-Dixon, isotropic, voxel size 2 × 2 × 2 mm). After image fusion, deviations for fiducial and gel match were measured and artifacts were evaluated. Additionally, CT-MRI-match deviations and MRI-MRI-match deviations of 10 Patients from the M-basePro study using GMs were assessed. Results: GMs were visible in all imaging modalities. The outer gel contours were matched with <1 mm deviation, contour volumes varied between 0 and 1%. The deviations of the GMs were less than 2 mm in any direction of MRI/CT. Shifts of peripherally or centrally located GMs were randomly distributed. The average MRI-CT-match precision of 10 patients with GMs was 1.9 mm (range 1.1–3.1 mm). Conclusions: Match inaccuracies for GMs between reference CT and voxel-isotropic T2-TSE sequences are small. Spatial deviations of CT- and MR-contoured fiducials were less than 2 mm, i.e., below SLT of the applied modalities. In patients, the average CT-MRI-match precision for GMs was 1.9 mm supporting their use in MR-guided high precision RT.

description: Reaction of isoquinoline (iQuin) with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chloride and bromide produced a family of neutral coordination complexes: (iQuin)2CoX2 [X = Cl (1), Br (2)], (iQuin)4CoX2 (X = Cl (3), X = Br (4)], (iQuin)4NiX2 [X = Cl, (5), X = Br, (6)], and (iQuin)2NiBr2(CH3CN)2 (7). The crystal structures of 1–5 and 7 are reported. The majority of the compounds crystallize with some of the iQuin ligands undergoing a ∼2-fold rotational disorder, likely caused by the nearly equivalent space occupied by the two positions. The disorder is temperature independent and ∼50:50 in all cases but one. Magnetic measurements for all seven compounds indicate that their behavior is dominated by single-ion anisotropy effects with indications of antiferromagnetic exchange also present in 1 and 2.
Electricity cost estimates: How accurate are they, and are they fit for purpose in policy analysis?
Creators: name: Heptonstall, Philip
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This thesis is concerned with the history of electricity generation costs, how they have changed over time, and the accuracy of forecasts of future costs. These costs are a critical input to policy, yet both estimates and forecasts have frequently proved to be wrong or have changed dramatically over relatively short timescales. The thesis presents evidence from three technology case studies (offshore wind, nuclear power and solar PV), supported by a review of the range of cost measures used in the economic, business and policy spheres, and the methodologies used to understand the factors that bear upon cost trajectories and approaches to forecasting future costs. Drawing upon the evidence from the case studies, the thesis examines how cost forecasts have changed over time, the (frequently wide) range of forecasts, the sources of errors, and how policy has responded to uncertainty and changes in both cost estimates and forecasts. The findings address the limitations of commonly used cost metrics, challenge assumptions that costs will necessarily fall, discuss the meaning of regulatory certainty in the face of uncertain future costs, and emphasise the importance of context (why estimates are commissioned, and by whom, and also who they are undertaken by). The evidence suggests that the co-presentation and use of estimates and forecasts for technologies with very different technical and financial characteristics implies significantly more comparability between them than is wise, and can convey the message that the underlying uncertainties are similar, when in fact the reasons may be fundamentally different in character. This highlights how important an understanding of technology characteristics is when deriving estimates and forecasts, not simply because those characteristics bear upon the numerical values of the results, but because of the influence they have on the nature of the uncertainty of those results.
Interventional techniques in the management of atrial fibrillation
Creators: name: Haldar, Shouvik Kumar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Historically, anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy achieves sub-optimal efficacy. The last two decades have seen major advances in cardiac electrophysiology, with catheter ablation now becoming the treatment of choice for AF. However, although outcomes for paroxysmal AF are excellent, the optimal interventional strategy for patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) has yet to be determined. Catheter ablation in LSPAF can achieve a modest degree of success, but the majority of patients require more than one procedure. Thoracoscopic surgical ablation, a relatively new technique, with the potential to improve clinical outcomes in AF, has yet to be evaluated in a head-to-head trial in LSPAF. The Catheter Ablation Versus Thoracoscopic Surgical Ablation in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (CASA-AF) was a prospective, non-randomised clinical trial, designed to investigate de novo patients with LSPAF and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥ 40%. Patients underwent either thoracoscopic surgical ablation or catheter ablation. The primary end-point was freedom from atrial arrhythmias after a single procedure without AADs. Secondary end-points included: clinical success (defined as 75% or greater reduction in AF burden), multi-procedure success, change in atrial anatomy and function, and change in AF symptom score (EHRA score) and quality of life assessments (SF-36). This thesis aims to investigate the interventional techniques used in the management of AF, with the main focus on the CASA-AF study. In addition, the Complex Fractionated Atrial Electrogram sub-study assesses the atrial substrate and its role in AF, whilst the Cardiac Magnetic Resonance sub-study investigates the changes in atrial and ventricular chambers pre- and post-ablation. The final study presented in this thesis concerns the effects of using exciting new Contact Force technology on the acute efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation in AF ablation.

description: We report on a near-infrared, long-baseline interferometric search for luminous companions to the star 51 Pegasi conducted with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer. Our data is completely consistent with a single-star hypothesis. We find no evidence to suggest a luminous companion to 51 Pegasi, and can exclude a companion brighter than a $Δ$K of 4.27 at the 99% confidence level for the 4.2-day orbital period indicated by spectroscopic measurements. This $Δ$K corresponds to an upper limit in the companion M$_K$ of 7.30, in turn implying a main-sequence companion mass less than 0.22 M$_{\sun}$.

description: HBED-CC (N,N'-Bis[2-hydroxy-5-(carboxyethyl)benzyl]ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid, L1) is a common bifunctional chelating agent in preparation of 68Ga-radiopharmaceuticals. Due to its high stability constant for the Ga3+ complex (logKGaL = 38.5) and its acyclic structure, it is well known for a rapid and efficient radiolabelling at ambient temperature with Gallium-68 and its high in vivo stability. [99 mTc][Tc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ is an excellent precursor for radiolabelling of biomolecules. The aim of this study was to develop a novel preparation method of 99 mTc-HBED-CC complexes. In this study, HBED-CC-NI (2,2'-(ethane-1,2-diylbis((2-hydroxy-5-(3-((2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)amino)-3-oxopropyl)benzyl)-azanediyl))-diacetic acid, L2), a derivative of HBED-CC, was designed and synthesized. Both L1 and L2 were radiolabelled by [99 mTc][Tc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ successfully for the first time. In order to explore the coordination mode of metal and chelates, non-radioactive Re(CO)3L1 and Re(CO)3L2 were synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. Tc(CO)3L1 and Tc(CO)3L2 in solution were calculated by density functional theory and were analysed with radio-HPLC chromatograms. It showed that [99 mTc]Tc(CO)3L2 forms two stable diastereomers in solution, which is similar to those of [68Ga]Ga-HBED-CC complexes. Natural bond orbital analysis through the natural population charges revealed a charge transfer between [99 mTc][Tc(CO)3]+ and L1 or L2. The experimental results showed that tricarbonyl technetium might form stable complex with HBED-CC derivatives, which is useful for the future application of using HBED-CC as a bifunctional chelating agent in developing new 99 mTc-radiopharmaceuticals as diagnostic imaging agents.

This talk focuses on the $Q^2$ behavior of the form-factors, extrapolation in quark masses, dependence on renormalization scheme, and comparison with heavy-quark effective theory (HQET). Even though we cannot estimate errors due to quenching and discretization, our results are consistent with experimental results for $D$ decays. We present results for the Isgur-Wise function and estimate $ξ'(w=1) = 0.97(6)$.

description: Weeds pose a serious constraint to lentil production. Identification and deployment of post-emergence herbicide tolerance in improved varieties can help reduce the production cost and increase the productivity and area under lentil cultivation. Imazethapyr, a post-emergence herbicide was tested on 180 lentil genotypes for two consecutive years. Significant variation among the genotypes was observed for tolerance to imazethapyr. On a 1–5 scale, 12 genotypes were found tolerant, 46 moderately tolerant, 112 sensitive and 10 highly sensitive during the first season, and 11 genotypes were found tolerant, 51 moderately tolerant, 110 sensitive and 8 highly sensitive during the second season. Based on the first year’s result, 30 genotypes, representing tolerant, moderately tolerant, sensitive and highly sensitive reactions, were evaluated to determine the effect of herbicide on morpho-physiological and yield traits. The adverse effect of imazethapyr was significant on growth and yield attributes of lentils. Five genotypes namely LL699, LL1397, IPL406, EC78452 and LL1203 demonstrated tolerance to imazethapyr with limited phytotoxic effect on various morpho-physiological traits. These genotypes showed less reduction (<19%) for seed yield in imazethapyr treated plots as compared to control. These genotypes offer scope for developing post-emergence herbicide tolerant cultivars in lentil.

In the presence of triethylamine, reactions of HL1 with 0.5 equivalent of copper acetate, cobalt acetate, nickel acetate and zinc acetate in ethanol afforded four metal complexes: (η2-N,O-L1)Cu(η3-O,N,O-L1) (1) and (η3-O,N,O-L1)2M (M = Co, 2; Ni, 3; Zn, 4), respectively. Similarly, treatment of HL2 with 0.5 equivalent of cobalt acetate and nickel acetate obtained two cobalt/nickel complexes: (η3-O,N,O-L2)2M (M = Co, 5; Ni, 6). Reactions of HL1 and one equivalent of Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of triethylamine afforded a ruthenium(II) complex, (η3-O,N,S-L1)Ru(PPh3)2Cl (7). The molecular structures of HL1 and 1-7 have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, the UV–Vis, infrared, and fluorescence spectroscopies of 1–7 along with their electrochemical properties were also investigated.

description: Pollution of the environment is becoming more and more serious due to the misuse of antibiotics. To protect the environment, polyoxometalates (POMs) emerged as potential green materials. These POMs contain anionic clusters of metal oxides, which exhibit favorable structural and physicochemical properties. They have demonstrated promising antiviral, antibacterial and antitumor activities in biomedicine. In the present study, fluconazole (FKZ)-modified POMs of Keggin structure were synthesized as an efficient bacteriostatic agent by the hydrothermal method. Furthermore, the bacteriostatic properties of the agent against various bacteria are analyzed. The bacteriostatic effect and bacterial inhibition rate are evaluated using three different methods: the filter paper slice method, determination of MIC value and the colony counting method. In addition, the leakage of morphologically repressive DNA of bacteria after being treated by the samples was investigated by TEM and UV, which resulted in speculation of repressive mechanisms. The experimental results demonstrated that the bacteriostat exhibited superior bacteriostatic properties compared to the classical polyoxometalate. Additionally, bacteriostatic agents are particularly effective in combating gram-negative bacteria.

(a) I review the general role of binary companions, including brown dwarfs and planets. (b) I propose a mechanism for axisymmetrical mass loss on the AGB that may account for the axially symmetric structures of elliptical planetary nebulae and that operates for slowly rotating AGB stars. (c) I propose a model for the formation of the two outer rings of SN 1987A, which is based on the numerical simulation of Soker (1989), and discuss a mechanism for their displacement from the exploding star.

description: Context. A large fraction of the interstellar medium can be characterized as a multiphase medium. The neutral hydrogen gas is bistable with a cold and warm neutral medium (CNM and WNM respectively) but there is evidence for an additional phase at intermediate temperatures, a lukewarm neutral medium (LNM) that is thermally unstable. Aims. We use all sky data from the HI4PI survey to separate these neutral HI phases with the aim to determine their distribution and phase fractions in the local interstellar medium. Methods. HI4PI observations, gridded on an nside = 1024 HEALPix grid, were decomposed into Gaussian components. From the frequency distribution of the velocity dispersions we infer three separate linewidth regimes. Accordingly we extract the HI line emission corresponding to the CNM, LNM, and WNM. We generated all-sky maps of these phases in the local HI gas with -8 < v_LSR < 8 km/s. Results. Each of the HI phases shows distinct structures on all scales. The LNM never exists as a single phase but contributes on average 41% of the HI. The CNM is prominent only for 22% of the sky, contributes there on average 34% but locally up to 60% of the HI and is associated with dust at temperatures T_dust ~ 18.6 K. Embedded cold filaments show a clear anti-correlation between CNM and LNM. Also the smoothly distributed WNM is anti-correlated with the CNM. It contributes for the rest of the sky 39% with dust associated at temperatures T_dust ~ 19.4 K. Conclusions. The CNM in filaments exists on small scales. Here the observed anti-correlation between LNM and CNM implies that both, filaments and the surrounding more extended LNM, must have a common origin.

description: A series of N, N’ bis(pyridine-imine) Schiff base late transition metal (Fe, Co, and Ni) complexes with different ligand structures and catalytic active sites were synthesized. Ethylene oligomerization results showed that bis(pyridine-imine) iron complex had the highest catalytic activity (10.8 × 105 g/mol Fe h), and the catalytic activity of cobalt complex was the lowest (2.5 × 105 g/mol Co h); nickel complex had the highest selectivity toward high carbon olefins (28.6%), while the iron complex had the lowest (0.2%). The structure-activity relationship between the catalyst structure and catalytic properties for ethylene oligomerization was further studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The bis(pyridine-imine) iron complex had the highest energy gap value and the most stable catalyst structure, which was more conducive to oligomerization; and the N–M–N bond of the nickel complex had the smallest bond angle, which was beneficial for chain growth. Based on the Cossee mechanism, a mechanism for ethylene oligomerization catalyzed by bis(pyridine-imine) metal complexes was proposed. To further study the micro reaction process of ethylene oligomerization, a molecular model of pyridine imine nickel complex and its catalytic ethylene oligomerization reaction path were proposed. The structure and energy of the reaction intermediate and transition state were calculated using DFT. The molecular model of the nickel complex had a lower ethylene insertion barrier and β-H elimination of energy barriers, indicating that the molecular model of the pyridine imine nickel complex had ethylene oligomerization active centers.

description: Luminescent ﬂuorinated chiral liquid crystalline oligomers containing Eu(III) complexes (Eu-LCOs) with good liquid crystalline properties and obvious luminescence properties were prepared using Poly(methylhydrogeno)siloxane (PMHS), chiral liquid crystalline monomer (M1), ﬂuorinated liquid crystalline monomer (M2), ﬂuorinated Eu(III) complex (M3). The chemical structures, liquid crystalline behaviours of Eu-LCOs were characterised by various experimental techniques. The introduction of small quantity of ﬂuorinated Eu(III) complexes endowed the oligomers with excellent luminescence properties. The Eu(III) complexes did not change the liquid crystalline textures of the oligomers. Fourier transform infrared imaging showed that Eu(III) complexes were evenly distributed in oligomers. In order to express the mutual effect and distribution of the components, a structural representation of Eu-LCOs was established. The Eu-LCOs displayed wide mesophase temperature ranges and reversible mesomorphic phase transitions. The Eu-LCOs can emit soft red light when being excited. Luminescence intensities of Eu-LCOs gradually increased with an increase of Eu(III) complexes from 0 to 1.0 mol%. However, the luminescence intensities of Eu-LCOs decreased monotonically with the increase of temperature in liquid crystalline phase.
A biosensor-based digital microfluidic system for neuroanalysis in the intensive care unit
Creators: name: Rogers, Michelle Louise
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The primary focus of this thesis is the development of a digital microfluidic based system with integrated microelectrode biosensors, designed for the analysis of human brain microdialysate in the intensive care unit. The main aim is to measure the neurochemical effects of spreading depolarisations (SD waves), which have been shown to be detrimental to the injured human brain. A combined electrode was developed containing working electrodes in the range of 25 to 125 μM, a reference electrode and an auxiliary electrode, within a needle of outer diameter 300 to 500 μm. Glucose, lactate and ATP biosensors were developed with detection limits of 2 to 10 μM and response times of under 10 seconds. A digital microfluidic system was designed to segment the dialysate at a microdialysis probe outlet, thereby eliminating Taylor dispersion and reducing the time lag between the sample leaving the brain and analysis. Different designs are discussed for the manipulation of droplets for optimal analysis, thus creating a microfluidic toolkit. The analysis chamber was analysed mathematically, the optimal placement of electrodes found and the sensor performance assessed on-chip. The on-chip glucose biosensor was used in vivo in a translational pilot study. The biosensor performance was validated against rapid sampling microdialysis with excellent results. The glucose biosensors successfully monitored concentration changes, in response to stimulations, in the range of 10 to 400 μM. The data shows that during a SD wave, there is a time delay between the increase in potassium and the decrease in glucose, due to the uncoupling of blood flow and metabolism. For the first time, the microfluidic system was used in the intensive care unit, monitoring brain injury patients at the bedside.

description: A general strategy to solve the non-perturbative renormalization problem in lattice QCD, using finite-size techniques and numerical simulations, is described. As an illustration we discuss the computation of the axial current normalization constant, the running coupling at zero quark masses and the scale evolution of the renormalized axial density. The non-perturbative calculation of O(a) correction terms (as they appear in Symanzik's improvement programme) is another important field of application.

description: HBED-CC (N,N'-Bis[2-hydroxy-5-(carboxyethyl)benzyl]ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid, L1) is a common bifunctional chelating agent in preparation of 68Ga-radiopharmaceuticals. Due to its high stability constant for the Ga3+ complex (logKGaL = 38.5) and its acyclic structure, it is well known for a rapid and efficient radiolabelling at ambient temperature with Gallium-68 and its high in vivo stability. [99 mTc][Tc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ is an excellent precursor for radiolabelling of biomolecules. The aim of this study was to develop a novel preparation method of 99 mTc-HBED-CC complexes. In this study, HBED-CC-NI (2,2'-(ethane-1,2-diylbis((2-hydroxy-5-(3-((2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl)amino)-3-oxopropyl)benzyl)-azanediyl))-diacetic acid, L2), a derivative of HBED-CC, was designed and synthesized. Both L1 and L2 were radiolabelled by [99 mTc][Tc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ successfully for the first time. In order to explore the coordination mode of metal and chelates, non-radioactive Re(CO)3L1 and Re(CO)3L2 were synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. Tc(CO)3L1 and Tc(CO)3L2 in solution were calculated by density functional theory and were analysed with radio-HPLC chromatograms. It showed that [99 mTc]Tc(CO)3L2 forms two stable diastereomers in solution, which is similar to those of [68Ga]Ga-HBED-CC complexes. Natural bond orbital analysis through the natural population charges revealed a charge transfer between [99 mTc][Tc(CO)3]+ and L1 or L2. The experimental results showed that tricarbonyl technetium might form stable complex with HBED-CC derivatives, which is useful for the future application of using HBED-CC as a bifunctional chelating agent in developing new 99 mTc-radiopharmaceuticals as diagnostic imaging agents.

description: The main strategy for combatting SARS-CoV-2 infections in 2020 consisted of behavioural regulations including contact reduction, maintaining distance, hand hygiene, and mask wearing. COVID-19-related risk perception and knowledge may influence protective behaviour, and education could be an important determinant. The current study investigated differences by education level in risk perception, knowledge and protective behaviour regarding COVID-19 in Germany, exploring the development of the pandemic over time. The COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring study is a repeated cross-sectional online survey conducted during the pandemic in Germany from 3 March 2020 (waves 1–28: 27,957 participants aged 18–74). Differences in risk perception, knowledge and protective behaviour according to education level (high versus low) were analysed using linear and logistic regression. Time trends were accounted for by interaction terms for education level and calendar week. Regarding protective behaviour, interaction terms were tested for all risk perception and knowledge variables with education level. The strongest associations with education level were evident for perceived and factual knowledge regarding COVID-19. Moreover, associations were found between low education level and higher perceived severity, and between low education level and lower perceived probability. Highly educated men were more worried about COVID-19 than those with low levels of education. No educational differences were observed for perceived susceptibility or fear. Higher compliance with hand washing was found in highly educated women, and higher compliance with maintaining distance was found in highly educated men. Regarding maintaining distance, the impact of perceived severity differed between education groups. In men, significant moderation effects of education level on the association between factual knowledge and all three protective behaviours were found. During the pandemic, risk perception and protective behaviour varied greatly over time. Overall, differences by education level were relatively small. For risk communication, reaching all population groups irrespective of education level is critical.

description: Herein, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a mononuclear Ni complex, [Ni(mdeaH2)2](PhCO2)2 (1; mdeaH2 = N-methyldiethanolamine, PhCO2 = benzoate). The mononuclear Ni complex was characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and its phase purity was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Magnetic data revealed antiferromagnetic interactions. Intermolecular interactions in the solid state were investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Moreover, an assessment of potential inhibitory effects of this complex against rabies, rotavirus, and SARS CoV-2 was performed by a molecular docking study that suggests 1 has a strong affinity for three proteins, 6TOU, 7ZFM, and 7WC0, from the Protein Data Bank.

description: We present fully general relativistic simulations of binary neutron star mergers, employing a new zero- temperature chiral effective field theory equation of state, the BL EOS. We offer a comparison with respect to the older GM3 EOS, which is based on standard relativistic mean field theory, and separately determine the impact of the mass. We provide a detailed analysis of the dynamics, with focus on the post-merger phase. For all models, we extract the gravitational wave strain and the post-merger frequency spectrum. Further, we determine the amount, velocity, and polar distribution of ejected matter, and provide estimates for the resulting kilonova signals. We also study the evolution of the disk while it is interacting with the hypermassive remnant, and dis- cuss the merits of different disk mass definitions applicable before collapse, with regard to the mass remaining after BH formation. Finally, we investigate the radial mass distribution and rotation profile of the remnants, which validate previous results and also corroborate a recently proposed stability criterion.

description: The Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S) HST observations are expected to begin in October 1998. We present a composite spectrum of the QSO in the HDF-S field covering UV/optical/near IR wavelengths, obtained by combining data from the ANU 2.3m Telescope with STIS on the HST. This intermediate resolution spectrum covers the range 1600-10000A and allows us to derive some basic information on the intervening absorption systems which will be important in planning future higher resolution studies of this QSO.
