description: In this interview, Jim discusses his life in New York City and Chicago with a special focus on his drug use. He describes the environment of his ubringing, and how he was exposed to drugs through the many sex workers and performace artists who would intermittently stay in his family's apartment. He compares the quality and price of heroin in New York and Chicago. He explains the transition from packaging heroin in caps to bags in the 1950s. Jim thoroughly describes his experiences detoxing from heroin at Lexington, Kentucky in 1950, 1957, and 1961. He mentions the various ways he earned a living, through both legal and illegal means. He discusses his experience at multiple jails, including Manhattan House of Detention (Tombs), Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Rikers Island, Coxsackie Correctional Facility, Dannemora (Clinton Correctional Facility), Mid-Orange Correctional Facility (Warwick), and Elmira Correctional Facility. Jim describes his observations of how the methadone program has changed and evolved over the course of his time there. He discusses his observations of addicts in the 1940s and 1950s versus addicts in the 1980s, focusing specifically on the amount of violence he perceives to be transpiring in the drug trade in both eras
Effects of shear stress on NF-κB transcription factors in vascular endothelium
Creators: name: Cuhlmann, Simon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of arteries, occurs predominantly at regions of the arterial system that are exposed to disturbed patterns of blood flow. Blood flow influences the atherosclerosis by exerting shear stress on endothelial cells (ECs). Although the signalling pathways that activate pro-inflammatory NF-κB transcription factors are well defined, the regulation and physiological significance of differential NF-κB subunit expression is poorly understood. In this thesis, we demonstrate that RelA NF-κB sub-unit expression is positively regulated in ECs via c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and the transcription factor ATF2. This pathway promoted focal arterial inflammation as genetic deletion of JNK1 reduced RelA expression and macrophage accumulation at an athero-susceptible site. Furthermore, JNK signalling to RelA is controlled by mechanical forces as en face immunostaining revealed that disturbed flow patterns (generated by a constrictive cuff) elevated RelA expression in murine carotid arteries via JNK1. Positron emission tomography and en face staining revealed that disturbed flow enhanced 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (a marker of inflammation) and accumulation of CD68-positive inflammatory cells in arteries via JNK1. We conclude that disturbed flow promotes arterial inflammation via a novel JNK-NF-κB cross-talk. The duration of RelA nuclear localisation is an important determinant of the magnitude and specificity of target gene expression. En face staining revealed that RelA rapidly accumulated in the nucleus upon LPS stimulation in ECs at both athero-protected and athero-susceptible sites. RelA was exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in response to prolonged stimulation in the athero-protected region but not in the athero-susceptible region. The duration of RelA nuclear localisation was suppressed by histone deacetylases which displayed higher activity at the protected site compared to the susceptible site. Overall, our findings reveal that ECs at athero-susceptible sites are primed for inflammatory activation via complementary mechanisms that enhance both the expression and the activity of NF-κB transcription factors.

description: Zinc (Zn) is an essential element in human nutrition. The concentration of Zn in cereals, which is a staple food in developing countries, is often too low thus contributing to Zn malnutrition in nearly two billion people worldwide. We have reported recently that transgenic barley plants expressing a cytokinin-degrading CYTOKININ OXIDASE/DEHYDROGENASE (CKX) gene in their roots form a larger root system and accumulate a higher concentration of Zn in their grains when grown under greenhouse conditions. Here, we have tested this trait under field conditions. Four independent pEPP:CKX lines accumulated an up to 30% higher Zn concentration in their grains as compared to the untransformed control suggesting that this is a stable trait. The increased Zn concentration exceeded the limit set by the HarvestPlus program for wheat. We, therefore, propose that root enhancement achieved by increased degradation of cytokinin in roots can be a sustainable strategy to combat malnutrition caused by Zn deficiency.

description: The torus and the Klein bottle amplitude coefficients are computed in permutation orbifolds of RCFT-s in terms of the same quantities in the original theory and the twist group. An explicit expression is presented for the number of self conjugate primaries in the orbifold as a polynomial of the total number of primaries and the number of self conjugate ones in the parent theory. The formulae in the $Z_2$ orbifold illustrate the general results.

description: Most of superconductors in a magnetic field are penetrated by a lattice of quantized flux vortices. In the presence of a transport current causing the vortices to cross sample edges, emission of electromagnetic waves is expected due to the continuity of tangential components of the fields at the surface. Yet, such a radiation has not been observed so far due to low radiated power levels and lacking coherence in the vortex motion. Here, we report emission of electromagnetic waves from vortices crossing the layers of a superconductor/insulator Mo/Si superlattice. The emission spectra consist of narrow harmonically related peaks which can be finely tuned in the GHz range by the dc bias current and, coarsely, by the in-plane magnetic field value. Our findings show that superconductor/insulator superlattices can act as dc-tunable microwave generators bridging the frequency gap between conventional radiofrequency oscillators and (sub-)terahertz generators relying upon the Josephson effect.

Immunoregulation by arginase mediated L-arginine metabolism in HIV seropositive patients
Creators: name: Cloke, Thomas Edward
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Infection with HIV results in a chronic infection that progressively impairs the immune system. Although depletion of CD4+ T cells is frequently used to explain the deterioration in immune function, the combination of the chronicity of infection and progressive loss of CD4+ T cells are not sufficient to fully account for the immune dysregulation that occurs during the progression to AIDS. Arginase-induced L-arginine deprivation is emerging as a key mechanism for the downregulation of immune responses. In this thesis it is shown that PBMC arginase activity increases with disease severity in HIV seropositive patients. PBMC arginase activity was found to be associated with both CD4+ T cell count and plasma viral load. However, these associations were not found in the cohort of patients that were taking highly active antiretroviral therapy. HIV seropositive patients with high PBMC arginase activity were also found to have decreased levels of CD3! protein by western blot, a marker of T cell dysregulation caused by arginase mediated L-arginine depletion. The arginase1+ cells in the PBMC fraction were identified as CD15+ CD14- granulocytes and therefore named low-density granulocytes (LDGs). The percentage of LDGs was found to be associated with PBMC arginase activity. LDGs were found to be phenotypically different from neutrophils that co-purify with erythrocytes after density gradient centrifugation (normal density granulocytes – NDGs). LDGs have an increased size, increased expression of the activation markers CD63 and CD66b and a decreased expression of arginase 1 compared to NDGs. This suggests that the LDGs may be a population of activated neutrophils that have degranulated releasing arginase 1. As it has been shown that T cells have an absolute requirement for L-arginine in order to proliferate and express CD3! the results presented in this thesis suggest that arginase-induced L-arginine deprivation might contribute to T cell dysfunction in HIV infection.

Bioactive hydrogels for tissue engineering
Creators: name: Place, Elsie Sarah
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Modern tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds are expected to actively promote tissue repair as well as meeting the traditional requirements of non-toxicity, degradability and structural integrity. This thesis presents two novel bioactive hydrogel systems for bone and cartilage TE. A series of alginate hydrogels were developed in which all or a fraction of the calcium normally used for crosslinking alginate was replaced by bioactive strontium and/or zinc ions. Strontium was chosen for its ability to stimulate bone formation, while zinc is essential for alkaline phosphatase activity. Due to an interaction between the crosslinking ion and alginate type, the hydrogel properties could be tailored independently of the crosslinking ion used – meaning that varying biological and materials requirements can be accommodated. Strontium release from alginate gels was of a physiologically relevant magnitude, and alkaline phosphatase protein activity in Saos-2 cells was highest in strontium gels. Secondly, a biomimetic strategy for transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) presentation and release was evaluated. TGF-β in vivo is secreted as part of an inactive latent complex, which is sequestered in a stable form within extracellular matrix until released by cells. TGF-β was therefore incorporated into poly(ethylene glycol)-hyaluronic acid hydrogels in its latent form. When compared to free TGF-β, advantages were demonstrated in terms of lower protein adsorption to tissue culture plastic and relative biological inactivity. The latter implies that high doses may be loaded into TE scaffolds without exposing cells to excessive quantities of active growth factor, with TGF-β bioavailability then being controlled by gradual activation by cells. Increased metabolic activity and ECM deposition by bovine chondrocytes were seen after almost five weeks in culture with a single initial loading of LTGF-β. These innovations correspond to current TE trends, which seek to use biomimetic principles to evoke regenerative responses from transplanted or host cells, but to do so using technically and commercially feasible means.

description: Using a simple factorization scheme we obtain the recurrence-shift relations of the polynomial functions of Aldaya, Bisquert and Navarro-Salas (ABNS), F_n^N(\fracωc\sqrtN x), i.e., one-step first-order differential relations referring to N, as follows. Firstly, we apply the scheme to the polynomial degree confirming the recurrence relations of Aldaya, Bisquert and Navarro-Salas, but also obtaining another slightly modified pair. Secondly, the factorization scheme is applied to the Gegenbauer polynomials to get the recurrence relations with respect to their parameter. Next, we make use of Nagel's result, showing the connection between Gegenbauer polynomials and the ABNS functions, to write down the recurrence-shift relations for the latter ones. Such relations may be used in the study of the spatial structure of pair-creation processes in an Anti-de Sitter gravitational background

description: We discuss the impact of gain and loss on the evolution of photonic quantum states and find that PT-symmetric quantum optics in gain/loss systems is not possible. Within the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics we show that gain and loss are associated with non-compact and compact operator transformations, respectively. This implies a fundamentally different way in which quantum correlations between a quantum system and a reservoir are built up and destroyed.

description: We argue that traditional methods of compactification of string theory make it very difficult to understand how the cosmological constant becomes zero. String inspired models can give zero cosmological constant after fine tuning but since string theory has no free parameters it is not clear that this is allowed. Brane world scenarios on the other hand while they do not answer the question as to why the cosmological constant is zero do actually allow a choice of integration constants that permit flat four space solutions. In this paper we discuss gauged supergravity realizations of such a world. To the extent that this starting point can be considered a low energy effective action of string theory (and there is some recent evidence supporting this) our model may be considered a string theory realization of this scenario.

description: We generalize the Metropolis et al. random walk algorithm to the situation where the energy is noisy and can only be estimated. Two possible applications are for long range potentials and for mixed quantum-classical simulations. If the noise is normally distributed we are able to modify the acceptance probability by applying a penalty to the energy difference and thereby achieve exact sampling even with very strong noise. When one has to estimate the variance we have an approximate formula, good in the limit of large number of independent estimates. We argue that the penalty method is nearly optimal. We also adapt an existing method by Kennedy and Kuti and compare to the penalty method on a one dimensional double well.

description: The U.S. Air Force proposes to expand operations at the FAC Alpha location on the Nellis Air Force Range. The area was surveyed for cultural resources by pedestrian transects spaced 15 m (49 ft) apart, and included a buffer zone of at least 30 m (100 ft) around the existing facilities and road system at the F AC Alpha location. The north and south ends were surveyed to 100 m (328 ft) and 50 m (164 ft), respectively. The cultural resources reconnaissance found one historic age cultural resource in the north end of the survey area. This resource is not recommended to be eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Consequently, proposed construction activities within the surveyed area should not adversely effect any known historic properties.

description: Patients with multirefractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) have limited treatment options. Recent data suggest that specific anti-platelet antibodies may cause destruction of platelets by favoring platelet loss of sialic acid. In this multicenter study 35 patients with ITP, including 16 with multirefractory disease, were analyzed for antiplatelet-antibodies, thrombopoietin (TPO) levels, and platelet desialylation. In selected cases, responses to a novel treatment strategy using oseltamivir were tested. We found that antibodies against GPIbα were overrepresented in multirefractory patients compared to responders (n = 19). In contrast to conventional ITP patients, multirefractory patients exhibited a significant increased platelet activation state (granule secretion) and desialylation (RCA-1 binding) (p These findings suggest that desialylation may play a key pathogenic role in some multirefractory ITP patients, and provide diagnostic tools for the identification of such patients. Furthermore, we show that sialidase inhibitor treatment in combination with therapies that help to increase platelet production can induce sustained platelet responses in some patients with anti-GPIbα -mediated thrombocytopenia that have failed previous therapies.

description: Detecting and studying pulsars above a few GHz in the radio band is challenging due to the typical faintness of pulsar radio emission, their steep spectra, and the lack of observatories with sufficient sensitivity operating at high frequency ranges. Despite the difficulty, the observations of pulsars at high radio frequencies are valuable because they can help us to understand the radio emission process, complete a census of the Galactic pulsar population, and possibly discover the elusive population in the Galactic Centre, where low-frequency observations have problems due to the strong scattering. During the decades of the 1990s and 2000s, the availability of sensitive instrumentation allowed for the detection of a small sample of pulsars above 10$\,$GHz, and for the first time in the millimetre band. Recently, new attempts between 3 and 1$\,$mm ($\approx$86$-$300$\,$GHz) have resulted in the detections of a pulsar and a magnetar up to the highest radio frequencies to date, reaching 291$\,$GHz (1.03$\,$mm). The efforts continue, and the advent of new or upgraded millimetre facilities like the IRAM 30-m, NOEMA, the LMT, and ALMA, warrants a new era of high-sensitivity millimetre pulsar astronomy in the upcoming years.

description: As a continuation of our previous works, we investigate the weak decays of doubly heavy baryons into a spin-$3/2$ singly or doubly heavy baryon. Light-front approach is adopted to handle the dynamics in the transitions, in which the two spectator quarks are approximated as a diquark. Results for form factors are then used to calculate decay widths of semi-leptonic and nonleptonic processes. The flavor SU(3) symmetry and symmetry breaking effects in semi-leptonic decays modes are explored, and we point out that in charm sector, there are sizable symmetry breaking effects. For nonleptonic decay modes, we study only the factorizable channels induced by the external W-emission. We find that branching fractions for most 1/2 to 3/2 transitions are approximately one order of magnitude smaller than the corresponding ones for the 1/2 to 1/2 transitions. Parametric uncertainties are also investigated in detail. This work, together with our previous works, are beneficial to the experimental studies of doubly heavy baryons at LHC and other experiments.

The Higher Orders of the Theory of Strong Perturbations in Quantum Mechanics and the Secularity Problem

description: We solve the higher order equations of the theory of the strong perturbations in quantum mechanics given in M. Frasca, Phys. Rev. A 45, 43 (1992), by assuming that, at the leading order, the wave function goes adiabatically. This is accomplished by deriving the unitary operator of adiabatic evolution for the leading order. In this way it is possible to show that at least one of the causes of the problem of phase-mixing, whose effect is the polynomial increase in time of the perturbation terms normally called secularities, arises from the shifts of the perturbation energy levels due to the unperturbed part of the hamiltonian. An example is given for a two-level system that, anyway, shows a secularity at second order also in the standard theory of small perturbations. The theory is applied to the quantum analog of a classical problem that can become chaotic, a particle under the effect of two waves of different amplitudes, frequencies and wave numbers.

description: Golovich et al. 2017b presents an optical imaging and spectroscopic survey of 29 radio relic merging galaxy clusters. In this paper, we study this survey to identify substructure and quantify the dynamics of the mergers. Using a combined photometric and spectroscopic approach, we identify the minimum number of substructures in each system to describe the galaxy populations and estimate the line of sight velocity difference between likely merging subclusters. We find that the line-of-sight velocity components of the mergers are typically small compared with the maximum three dimensional relative velocity (usually $<1000$ km s$^{-1}$ and often consistent with zero). This suggests that the merger axes of these systems are generally in or near the plane of the sky matching findings in magneto-hydrodynamical simulations. In 28 of the 29 systems we identify substructures in the galaxy population aligned with the radio relic(s) and presumed associated merger induced shock. From this ensemble, we identify eight systems to include in a `gold' sample that is prime for further observation, modeling, and simulation study. Additional papers will present weak lensing mass maps and dynamical modeling for each merging system, ultimately leading to new insight into a wide range of astrophysical phenomena at some of the largest scales in the universe.

description: In a `shortcut-to-adiabaticity' (STA) protocol, the counter-diabatic Hamiltonian, which suppresses the non-adiabatic transition of a reference `adiabatic' trajectory, induces a quantum uncertainty of the work cost in the framework of quantum thermodynamics. Following a theory derived recently [Funo et al 2017 Phys. Rev. Lett. 118 100602], we perform an experimental measurement of the STA work statistics in a high-quality superconducting Xmon qubit. Through the frozen-Hamiltonian and frozen-population techniques, we experimentally realize the two-point measurement of the work distribution for given initial eigenstates. Our experimental statistics verify (i) the conservation of the average STA work and (ii) the equality between the STA excess of work fluctuations and the quantum geometric tensor.

description: The circadian clock controls most of the physiological processes in the body throughout days and nights’ alternation. Its dysregulation has a negative impact on many aspects of human health, such as obesity, lipid disorders, diabetes, skin regeneration, hematopoiesis and cancer. To date, poor is known on the molecular mechanisms that links mammary gland homeostasis to the circadian clock but recent reports highlight the importance of loss of circadian genes for mammary gland development and during tumour progression in breast cancer. Gene expression studies are then required to clarify how the circadian clock can modulates the human mammary gland development during ontology and its behaviour in physiological and oncogenic context. For this, in addition to genome-wide studies, real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR) is a powerful and pertinent technique to quantify the expression of a reduced set of genes of interest in many different samples. Relative quantification of qPCR data requires the use of reference genes for normalisation. For circadian studies, reference genes expression must not oscillate in mirror of the circadian clock and must not be affected by the synchronisation protocols required in vitro to reset the circadian clock. Inappropriate selection of reference genes can consequently affect the amplitude of gene expression oscillation and bias data interpretation. Currently, no standard reference genes have been validated regarding these criteria for human mammary epithelial cells and the purpose of this study was to fill this gap. For this, we used the RefFinder tool, which combines four different algorithms, on 9 candidate reference genes. We compared reference genes stability using three different synchronisation protocols applied on four different mammary epithelial cell lines. This allowed us to define a set of reference genes in human mammary epithelial cells whose expression remains stable despite synchronisation protocols. We observed that the synchronisation of cells by serum shock was the most suitable procedure for maintaining the amplitude of oscillation of clock genes over time and we identified RPL4, RPLP0, HSPCB and TBP as an optimal combination of reference genes for the normalisation of the oscillatory expression of clock genes in human mammary epithelial cells.

description: Floquet engineering offers tantalizing opportunities for controlling the dynamics of quantum many body systems and realizing new nonequilibrium phases of matter. However, this approach faces a major challenge: generic interacting Floquet systems absorb energy from the drive, leading to uncontrolled heating which washes away the sought after behavior. How to achieve and control a non-trivial nonequilibrium steady state is therefore of crucial importance. In this work, we study the dynamics of an interacting one-dimensional periodically-driven electronic system coupled to a phonon heat bath. Using the Floquet-Boltzmann equation (FBE) we show that the electronic populations of the Floquet eigenstates can be controlled by the dissipation. We find the regime in which the steady state features an insulatorlike filling of the Floquet bands, with a low density of additional excitations. Furthermore, we develop a simple rate equation model for the steady state excitation density that captures the behavior obtained from the numerical solution of the FBE over a wide range of parameters.

description: The cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum scenario for a positive tension brane in a 5-D Universe with localized gravity has been studied extensively recently. Here we extend it to more general situations. We consider the time-dependent situation where the two sides of the brane are different AdS/Schwarzschild spaces. We show that the expansion rate in these models during inflation could be larger than in brane worlds with compactified extra dimensions of fixed size. The enhanced expansion rate could lead to the production of density perturbations of substantially larger amplitude.

description: Zinc (Zn) is an essential element in human nutrition. The concentration of Zn in cereals, which is a staple food in developing countries, is often too low thus contributing to Zn malnutrition in nearly two billion people worldwide. We have reported recently that transgenic barley plants expressing a cytokinin-degrading CYTOKININ OXIDASE/DEHYDROGENASE (CKX) gene in their roots form a larger root system and accumulate a higher concentration of Zn in their grains when grown under greenhouse conditions. Here, we have tested this trait under field conditions. Four independent pEPP:CKX lines accumulated an up to 30% higher Zn concentration in their grains as compared to the untransformed control suggesting that this is a stable trait. The increased Zn concentration exceeded the limit set by the HarvestPlus program for wheat. We, therefore, propose that root enhancement achieved by increased degradation of cytokinin in roots can be a sustainable strategy to combat malnutrition caused by Zn deficiency.
