description: We present the analysis of 2M1938+4603 (KIC 9472174), a hot hybrid pulsating subdwarf B (sdB) star with a strong reflection effect. This analysis attempts to combine seismic modeling and investigation of variations in eclipse minima (O-C diagram) of this system, based on the full set (37 months) of available Kepler data. For asteroseismology, we focus on the 22 highest amplitude pulsation modes detected in the 2000-4500 μHz range (mostly p-modes), assuming the sdB star rotation period is locked to the orbital period (tidal synchronization). The seismic modeling provides in particular a constraint on the primary mass. We fit Lorentzian function to the detrended folded Kepler light curve for each individual eclipse to calculate eclipse minimum times, considering primary and secondary minima. We find the O-C curve has cyclic change, which could be explained as light-travel time effect via the presence of a planet with period 418(4) days and minimum mass 2.43 ± 0.073 MJ.We present the analysis of 2M1938+4603 (KIC 9472174), a hot hybrid pulsating subdwarf B (sdB) star with a strong reflection effect.

A binding site comparison perspective to guide molecular design
Creators: name: Eguida, Merveille
Publisher: name: Conscience
Year: 2024

description: Abstract:

Identifying the first hits for a target in the early stages of drug discovery can be a challenge requiring an efficient exploration of the chemical space. To this end, we developed POEM (Pocket-Oriented Elaboration of Molecules), a computational approach that drives the generation of target-focused libraries for fast and resource-effective screening. POEM capitalizes on the available protein pocket-ligand information in constantly growing public databases, to reposition fragments originally bound to subpockets estimated similar to the target pocket. These fragments are later linked and filtered to yield fully connected molecules that can be searched in ultra large chemical spaces and assessed experimentally.
p-topological and p-regular: dual notions in convergence theory

description: The natural duality between "topological" and "regular," both considered as convergence space properties, extends naturally to p-regular convergence spaces, resulting in the new concept of a p-topological convergence space. Taking advantage of this duality, the behavior of p-topological and p-regular convergence spaces is explored, with particular emphasis on the former, since they have not been previously studied. Their study leads to the new notion of a neighborhood operator for filters, which in turn leads to an especially simple characterization of a topology in terms of convergence criteria. Applications include the topological and regularity series of a convergence space.

description: Abstract:

Identifying binders for new protein targets or domains is a large challenge for drug discovery projects and a large fraction of the proteome has not been liganded to date. Virtual screening can provide fast access to chemical matter, however, it is often challenging to properly validate different approaches. The community-wide blind challenge CACHE provides a unique opportunity to benchmark different methods without biases in setups that are close to challenges in real-life drug discovery projects. Here, we describe a combination of physics-based docking and generative modeling as an approach to screen large virtual spaces such as Enamine REAL using and how we applied this in CACHE challenge #1 to identify a novel binder targeting the WDR domain on LRRK2. We will also discuss a retrospective evaluation of an active learning docking approach.
Understanding the mechanical properties of fibre-matrix interfaces in flexible composite pipe materials
Creators: name: Spencer, Eden Jonathan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: There is an increasing demand for flexible thermoplastic composite pipes to be used in subsea oil and gas fields where production fluid temperatures and hydrostatic pressures are high. However, there is also concern that under those conditions, fibre-matrix interfaces within the pipes will gradually degrade, causing the pipe to become prone to collapse under hydrostatic pressure. Therefore, this thesis reports investigations of how the strength of interfaces in thermoplastic composite pipes changes due to prolonged exposure to water, oil, and elevated temperatures. The primary materials of this investigation were glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene (G/PP) and carbon fibre-reinforced polyamide 12 (C/PA12). Those materials were studied as they were received, as well as after they had been aged in water and oil (represented by a 50/50 pentane/toluene solution). In one approach, interfaces within the composites were incrementally damaged through single fibre push-out tests to simulate the effects of kink band propagation during the compressive failure of unidirectional composite laminates. In another approach, hereby named the hybrid-push test, fibres were pushed into a soft substrate to evaluate novel ways of analysing the strength of interfaces. A key finding was that the strength of a fibre-matrix interface may decline or improve depending upon the type of materials from which it is comprised and the environment in which the host composite is aged. Also, the rate at which axial load was applied to fibres in G/PP was positively correlated with the shear stress required to cause interface failure. Another finding was that the interfacial shear strength of G/PP reduced at elevated temperatures and recovered at room temperature. Moreover, interface shear strength values were lower in regions of high fibre density, interfaces degraded asymmetrically around the circumference of fibres, also distinct interface failure modes were observed and named as pulloff and pulldown failure modes.

description: Abstract:Staying up to date with recent computational methodologies is a prerequisite to providing the best possible support for pharma pipeline projects. While the scientific literature provides ample anecdotal evidence that some methods work in some specific scenarios, a sound and systematic comparison of methodologies is missing. Filling this gap through the careful benchmarking of computational methods for hit finding has therefore been a guiding idea in designing the CACHE Challenges.

In our talk, we’ll revisit our motivation as pharma members for supporting CACHE and share some of the learnings and insights we have gained over the 1.5 years since CACHE launched. We will also include proposals how to further improve the process framework around CACHE and how to substantiate the scientific interpretation of results.

description: In individuals with high energy expenditures (e.g., competitive athletes, dancers, recreational athletes), low energy availability occurs when energy intake is insufficient to meet biological requirements. Low energy availability is an underpinning factor in the Female Athlete Triad and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, two models designed to explain the health implications of prolonged periods or repeated acute bouts of insufficient energy intake. Despite increased scientific recognition of these health implications, many athletes and coaches remain unaware of low energy availability and/or its consequences. Coaches manage athletic training and have considerable engagement with athletes, hence can play an important role in the management of low energy availability exposure and the detection and mitigation of associated risks. Unfortunately, some coaches prioritise ‘high performance’ at the cost of the long-term health and wellbeing of their athletes. Ideally, coaches (with support from their national sporting organisations) should provide supportive environments and encourage exercise and eating behaviours that optimise performance and long-term health. This program of research aimed to understand the extent to which coaches were currently aware (and understood) of the consequences of low energy availability exposures. In addition to gauge current coach education support provided by national sporting organisations involved in endurance sports. Finally, the research aimed to improve the support for coaches to effectively manage the risks of low energy availability/Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport among developing athletes. [...]

description: We propose an all-linear-optical scheme to ballistically generate a cluster state for measurement-based topological fault-tolerant quantum computation using hybrid photonic qubits entangled in a continuous-discrete domain. Availability of near-deterministic Bell-state measurements on hybrid qubits is exploited for the purpose. In the presence of photon losses, we show that our scheme leads to a significant enhancement in both tolerable photon-loss rate and resource overheads. More specifically, we report a photon-loss threshold of $\sim3.3\times 10^{-3}$, which is higher than those of known optical schemes under a reasonable error model. Furthermore, resource overheads to achieve logical error rate of $10^{-6} (10^{-15})$ is estimated to be $\sim8.5\times10^{5} (1.7\times10^{7})$ which is significantly less by multiple orders of magnitude compared to other reported values in the literature.

The role of Von Willebrand factor in endothelial platelet capture
Creators: name: Ranger, Amita
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: The principal role of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is platelet capture at sites of vascular injury, via interaction of its A1 domain with platelet glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα). The GPIbα binding site overlaps with a binding site for heparin, the functional significance, and physiological ligand, of which remains unknown. Previous studies have demonstrated heparin inhibition of VWF-dependent platelet binding, a secondary effect distinct from heparin’s anticoagulant role. Using a physiologically representative flow assay, this secondary effect has been demonstrated, with unfractionated heparin (UFH) exerting the greatest inhibition. This antithrombotic action of heparin is a potential mechanism for unpredictable bleeding complications during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CPB) when high concentrations of UFH are needed to maintain the extracorporeal circuit. A prospective cohort study to determine the changes in VWF antigen activity and function, occurring pre- and post-UFH in CPB demonstrates a significant rise in the VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) level by the end of surgery, with a relative fall in VWF collagen binding. The VWF Ristocetin Cofactor (VWF:RCo) fell but not significantly following UFH, with recovery seen in the absolute VWF:RCo after UFH reversal with protamine sulphate (PS) but not in the VWF:Ag/VWF:RCo. Both heparin and PS sulphate affect many components of haemostasis and these off-target effects, alongside the consumptive and dilutional coagulopathy during CPB make prediction of bleeding difficult. Recombinant VWF heparin binding site variants demonstrate impaired platelet capture on a collagen surface, suggesting a greater degree of overlap between the two binding sites or that the heparin-binding site of VWF has a role in the GPIbα interaction, identifying a potential physiological ligand. Heparan sulphate (HS) within the endothelial glycocalyx has been suggested as the physiological ligand for the VWF heparin-binding site. Removal of HS from the glycocalyx of human umbilical vein endothelial cells is a promising model to investigate this further.

description: We derive an explicit system of Picard-Fuchs differential equations satisfied by Abelian integrals of monomial forms and majorize its coefficients. A peculiar feature of this construction is that the system admitting such explicit majorants, appears only in dimension approximately two times greater than the standard Picard-Fuchs system. The result is used to obtain a partial solution to the tangential Hilbert 16th problem. We establish upper bounds for the number of zeros of arbitrary Abelian integrals on a positive distance from the critical locus. Under the additional assumption that the critical values of the Hamiltonian are distant from each other (after a proper normalization), we were able to majorize the number of all (real and complex) zeros. In the second part of the paper an equivariant formulation of the above problem is discussed and relationships between spread of critical values and non-homogeneity of uni- and bivariate complex polynomials are studied.

description: We study the AutoML problem of automatically configuring machine learning pipelines by jointly selecting algorithms and their appropriate hyper-parameters for all steps in supervised learning pipelines. This black-box (gradient-free) optimization with mixed integer & continuous variables is a challenging problem. We propose a novel AutoML scheme by leveraging the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The proposed framework is able to (i) decompose the optimization problem into easier sub-problems that have a reduced number of variables and circumvent the challenge of mixed variable categories, and (ii) incorporate black-box constraints along-side the black-box optimization objective. We empirically evaluate the flexibility (in utilizing existing AutoML techniques), effectiveness (against open source AutoML toolkits),and unique capability (of executing AutoML with practically motivated black-box constraints) of our proposed scheme on a collection of binary classification data sets from UCI ML& OpenML repositories. We observe that on an average our framework provides significant gains in comparison to other AutoML frameworks (Auto-sklearn & TPOT), highlighting the practical advantages of this framework.

The long and short of template copying
Creators: name: Poulton, Jenny
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Templated copying is the central operation by which biology produces complex molecules. Cells copy sequence information from DNA to RNA and on into proteins, which are the molecules responsible for the function and regulation of cellular systems. In the templated copying process the template catalyses the formation of a second molecule carrying the same sequence. Traditionally, people have ignored the separation of the template and copy at the end of the process, but separation is necessary and fundamentally changes the thermodynamics of the process. In general, creating an accurate polymer costs free energy. Omitting separation, this cost can be compensated for by the extra free energy released by \correct" copy/template bonds. Separation requires these bonds be broken, so true copying requires an input of free energy. Equally the fact that copy/template bonds are temporary means there is no thermodynamic bias towards accuracy, instead copying relies only on kinetic e ects to promote accuracy. In general, transducing energy can only happen reversibly when the transduction process is quasistatic and time varying; something that cannot be true when you are relying on kinetic discrimination. Copying is a far from equilibrium process. This thesis explores the consequences of this observation. We start in the limit of in nite length copies where the costs of accuracy represent hard thermodynamic bounds and then moves to the nite length limit where these same limits can be understood as kinetic barriers. We then discuss copying systems as non-equilibrium steady states, which can be analysed as information engines moving free energy between out-of-equilibrium baths.

description: A semi-continuum model is introduced to study the dynamics of the formation of granular heaplets in tapped granular layers. By taking into account the energy dissipation of collisions and screening effects due to avalanches, this model is able to reproduce qualitatively the pattern of these heaplets. Our simulations show that the granular heaplets are characterised by an effective surface tension which depends on the magnitude of the tapping intensity. Also, we observe that there is a coarsening effect in that the average size of the heaplets, V grows as the number of taps k increases. The growth law at intermediate times can be fitted by a scaling function V ~ k^z but the range of validity of the power law is limited by size effects. The growth exponent z appears to diverge as the tapping intensity is increased.

It has been observed that, the values of $D$ strongly dependent on $Δη$ in HIJING and UrQMD models and independent in HRG model. The diffusion coefficients ($σ$) of identified particles are estimated at various \sqsn. It is observed that, the $σ$ values are independent of collision energies but emphasizes the particle species dependence of diffusion coefficient in the QGP medium. This study provides a realistic baseline for comparison with the experimental data.

description: Let p be an odd prime and r be relatively prime to p. Let G be a finite p-group. Suppose an oriented 3-manifold M-tilde has a free G-action with orbit space M. We consider certain Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev SU(2) invariants w_r(M). We will give a fomula for w_r(M) in terms of the defect of M-tilde --> M and the number of elements in G. We also give a version of this result if M and M-tilde contain framed links or colored fat graphs. We give similar formulas for non-free actions which hold for a specified finite set of values for r.

description: This research explores the practice and context of animating female experience, specifically responding to the issue of postnatal depression. The interrelated hypothesis argues the definition of ‘animatrix’; a term that can be used to identify a particular approach to practice that is distinctly woman-centred or woman-created. In doing so, I address unfavourable conditions in the animation industry, both historically and continuing, that discourage an authentic female voice. This study takes an exploratory self-reflective practice approach wherein I examine my own and others’ experiences and responses to mental health issues surrounding childbirth. I correlate these to associated themes of the representation of adult women, social constructs and expectations of women as mothers, concepts of taboo and abjection, along with ideas of embodiment, memory, and fragmented storytelling. Coupled with this, I scrutinise practical and structural techniques used in animating; in particular, hand-drawn animation as opposed to the use of two-dimensional, cut-out, or rigged animating techniques or sculptural or digital three-dimensional model styles. This extends to incorporating haptic and tactile aspects of a drawing-based practice, integrated with theories of flow, to develop iterative digital screen-based artworks that can be displayed in multi-modal environments. Through a critical review of my multidisciplinary practice surrounding the field of animation, I identify key criteria that may be used to designate the honorific of Animatrix to a practitioner or practical outcome. This designation and attendant criteria serve to provide a launching point for further critical discussion from academics, practitioners, and the industry about the representation and contribution of women in animation.

description: The absence of state authorities in areas of limited statehood does not equal anarchy, disorder, and chaos as the literature on failing and failed states often implies. Rather, we do find governance – both rule-making and the provision of collective goods – in areas of limited statehood that is both legitimate and effective under certain conditions. This paper presents a typology of governance configurations found empirically in our various research projects. The typology does not represent the universe of possible configurations; rather, I concentrate on governance configurations that the research projects of our Collaborative Research Center have reported in various publications. Thus, this paper represents a first effort to systematize what we see empirically. The typology is informed by various analytical distinctions and di-mensions, such as the type of actors involved in governance, the modes of governance, the institutional embeddedness of the configurations, and the material and ideational resources of actors, as well as their consequences for power (a)symmetries.
description: Die Abwesenheit staatlicher Autorität und Rechtsdurchsetzungsfähigkeit in Räumen begrenzter Staatlichkeit impliziert nicht Anarchie, Chaos und Unordnung, wie die Literatur zu zerfal-len(d)en Staaten häufig behauptet. Stattdessen finden wir vielfältige Formen von effektiver und legitimer Governance – sowohl im Bereich der Regelsetzung als auch bezüglich der Bereitstellung von Kollektiv-Gütern. Dieses Arbeitspapier stellt einen ersten Versuch der systematischen Typologisierung der verschiedenen Governance- Konfigurationen dar, die wir in den Projekten des Sonderforschungsbereiches empirisch vorfinden. Die Typologie orientiert sich an verschiedenen analytischen Unterscheidungen und Dimensionen. Dazu zählen die Akteurstypen, die in Governance involviert sind, die Modi der Handlungskoordination (hierarchisch und nicht-hierarchisch), die institutionelle Einbettung der Konfigurationen sowie die materiellen und ideellen Ressourcen der Governance- Akteure und der Konsequenzen für die Machtverteilung.

Block copolymer templates for functional nanostructured materials: Periodic patterning and hierarchical ordering

Block copolymers

description: Simple molecular building blocks, arranged in a repeating manner with hierarchical levels of organization, may lead to emergent functional properties, which would not otherwise be exhibited by the building blocks alone. The design principles of periodicity and hierarchical order are pervasive in nature, and have been borrowed to engineer man-made materials with functionality beyond their component parts. This thesis explores the development and application of block copolymers as templates for the fabrication of functional nanostructures. The core linear diblock copolymer may be pre- or post-functionalized with elements such as semiconducting moieties, topochemical precursors, and biomolecules. Periodicity is observed in the highly-ordered packing of the small molecules and patterns resulting from the cooperative self-assembly of the block copolymers and small molecules. The collective order of periodic structures at multiple lengths scales, ranging from the nanometer to micrometer regime, leads to the fabrication of hierarchical systems. These findings contribute to the critical development of complex architectures and understanding their structure-property relationships.

description: We study an iterated temporal and contemporaneous aggregation of $N$ independent copies of a strongly stationary subcritical Galton-Watson branching process with regularly varying immigration having index $α\in (0, 2)$. Limits of finite dimensional distributions of appropriately centered and scaled aggregated partial sum processes are shown to exist when first taking the limit as $N \to \infty$ and then the time scale $n \to \infty$. The limit process is an $α$-stable process if $α\in (0, 1) \cup (1, 2)$, and a deterministic line with slope $1$ if $α= 1$.

description: Der vorliegende Bericht präsentiert die wesentlichen Arbeiten und Ergebnisse des Arbeitspaketes 3 (AP 3) im Projekt „KLIMPRAX Wiesbaden/Mainz – Stadtklima in der kommunalen Praxis. Handlungsleitfaden Anpassung“, im Folgenden kurz "KLIMPRAX-Stadtklima". Das Gesamtprojekt wird vom Hessischen Landesamt für Naturschutz, Umwelt-, und Geologie (HLNUG) geleitet und koordiniert. Die Federführung für das AP 3 „Klimaanalyse und -projektion für das erweiterte Stadtgebiet Wiesbaden und Mainz“ lag beim Deutschen Wetterdienst (DWD). Es wurden drei Schwerpunktthemen behandelt: • Das Klima der Gegenwart, • das Klima der Zukunft und • Kaltluftanalysen. Unter „Klima“ wird hier in der Regel das durch die Stadt (das heißt in erster Linie durch die Bebauung) modifizierte Klima, das sogenannte Stadtklima, verstanden. Die Untersuchung dient dazu, flächendeckende Daten als Grundlage für die Stadtentwicklung und die Anpassung an den zu erwartenden Klimawandel zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Ergebnisse sollen in einem weiteren Arbeitspaket (AP 4) in planungsrelevante Parameter und Kategorien übersetzt werden. KLIMPRAX-Stadtklima konzentriert sich auf die Folgen des zu erwartenden Temperaturanstieges und damit auf die Problematik der zunehmenden Hitzebelastung im Sommer vor allem in den Städten. Mit möglichen Anpassungsmaßnahmen an veränderte Niederschläge befasst sich das Projekt „KLIMPRAX-Starkregen“, ebenfalls unter Federführung des HLNUG.
Quantitative surface structure determination
Creators: name: Ryan, Paul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis work, normal incidence X-ray standing waves (NIXSW) and energy scanned photoelectron diffraction (PhD) were utilised to determine the surface structures of a number of adsorbate/ surface systems. The systems under study can be separated into two subject areas: those concerning the study of adsorbates on the magnetite (001) facet (Fe3O4(001)) and those that comprise the adsorption of 2,3,5,6-tetra uro-7,7,8,8- tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ) on coinage metals which is proposed to form charge transfer salts. Formic acid dissociatively adsorbs on the (001) facet of magnetite (Fe3O4(001)) producing an adsorbed formate and a surface hydroxyl. The NIXSW results of this thesis corroborate with prior studies which place the formate bidentate bonding on the surface to the surface Fe cations. An additional structural study, using PhD, was uniquely able to determine the location of the surface hydroxyl as being at a surface interstitial site. It has been proposed that deposited Ni metal sits at the adatom site on the Fe3O4(001) surface as well in the subsurface cation vacancies of the subsurface cation vacancy termination. NIXSW results presented in this thesis unequivocally determine this to be the case. The vertical height of the subsurface Ni, as determined by NIXSW, likely shows that it sits in subsurface sites and not at the surface. Finally, the NIXSW technique was used to determine the effect CO adsorption has on the structure of Ag adatoms on the Fe3O4(001) surface. The NIXSW results find that the CO pulls the Ag adatom away from the surface and these results have been used to benchmark computationally affordable approaches to calculating the adatom adsorption heights and other properties of the system. Prior NIXSW studies of 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (H4-TCNQ) on the coinage metals show that it does not adsorb on coinage metals in a planar geometry. It has been determined that the molecule twists and bends on the surface and incorporates substrate adatoms into a charge transfer salt. The NIXSW results of this thesis show that F4-TCNQ also adsorbs on many of the coinage metals, not in a planar geometry, but twisted at either end. Such twisting of the molecule is analogous to that of H4- TCNQ and could potentially indicate that F4-TCNQ also forms charge transfer salts on coinage metals. This would corroborate with ARPES, STM and LEED results from prior investigations. These results provide a benchmark for future theoretical calculations investigating the various electronic properties of these adsorbate/ metal surface systems.
