description: The approach of a parton plasma at future heavy ion colliders towards kinetic and chemical equilibrium is considered. A plasma with a self-consistent evolving parton-parton interaction strength is shown to equilibrate better and faster than the usual but inconsistent one with a fixed strength. We explain why as a consequence of this, a parton plasma is a unique kind of many-body system. Because our time evolution scheme does not require the plasma to be in either kind of equilibrium from the outset, out-of-equilibrium effect on particle productions can be revealed. We show this on photon production and discuss the implications on photon as a signal to detect the quark-gluon plasma.

description: The time-of-flight (TOF) system in the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is composed of super modules based on multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPC) for high-denseness, high-resolution time measurement. In order to evaluate the quality of detectors during the mass production, a distributed data readout system is developed to meet with the high data rate of 6.4Gbps, and a related data acquisition (DAQ) software is implemented under Linux operating system to test and verify the feasibility of the distributed data readout method. In this paper, the DAQ software is focused on data collection, event building, status monitoring and system controlling. Laboratory tests confirmed the function of the DAQ software and show that the overall data transfer rate of a single data transmission path can reach up to about 550Mbps which already meet the demand.

description: An extensive study of the effects of correlations on both charged and neutral current weak interaction rates in dense matter is performed. Both strong and electromagnetic correlations are considered.The propagation of particle-hole interactions in the medium plays an important role in determining the neutrino mean free paths. The effects due to Pauli-Blocking and density, spin, and isospin correlations in the medium significantly reduce the neutrino cross sections. Due to the lack of experimental information at high density, these correlations are necessarily model dependent. For example, spin correlations in nonrelativistic models are found to lead to larger suppressions of neutrino cross sections compared to those of relativistic models. This is due to the tendency of the nonrelativistic models to develop spin instabilities. Notwithstanding the above caveats, and the differences between nonrelativistic and relativistic approaches such as the spin- and isospin-dependent interactions and the nucleon effective masses, suppressions of order 2--3, relative to the case in which correlations are ignored, are obtained. Neutrino interactions in dense matter are especially important for supernova and early neutron star evolution calculations. The effects of correlations for protoneutron star evolution are calculated. Large effects on the internal thermodynamic properties of protoneutron stars, such as the temperature, are found. These translate into significant early enhancements in the emitted neutrino energies and fluxes, especially after a few seconds. At late times, beyond about 10 seconds, the emitted neutrino fluxes decrease more rapidly compared to simulations without the effects of correlations, due to the more rapid onset of neutrino transparency in the protoneutron star

description: Over the past few decades, the amount of scientific articles and technical literature has increased exponentially in size. Consequently, there is a great need for systems that can ingest these documents at scale and make their content discoverable. Unfortunately, both the format of these documents (e.g. the PDF format or bitmap images) as well as the presentation of the data (e.g. complex tables) make the extraction of qualitative and quantitive data extremely challenging. We present a platform to ingest documents at scale which is powered by Machine Learning techniques and allows the user to train custom models on document collections. We show precision/recall results greater than 97% with regard to conversion to structured formats, as well as scaling evidence for each of the microservices constituting the platform.

description: Probing signal injection is a well-established technique to extract additional information from a weakly (or non) observable dynamical system. Using averaging theory, a framework to analyse such schemes for general nonlinear systems has been recently proposed in [Combes et. al., 2016], where it is shown that the signal injection may be used to generate a new high frequency component of the systems output that can be used for state observation or controller design. A key step for the success of this technique is the implementation of a filter to reconstruct this virtual output from the measurement of the overall systems output. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a new filter with guaranteed convergence properties that outperforms the classical designs. The method is applied to a general class of electromechanical systems, and its performance is assessed via simulations and experiments on the benchmark example of a 1-dof magnetic levitation system.
A Hamilton-Jacobi method to describe the evolutionary equilibria in heterogeneous environments and with non-vanishing effects of mutations

description: In this note, we characterize the solution of a system of elliptic integro-differential equations describing a phe-notypically structured population subject to mutation, selection and migration. Generalizing an approach based on Hamilton-Jacobi equations, we identify the dominant terms of the solution when the mutation term is small (but nonzero). This method was initially used, for different problems from evolutionary biology, to identify the asymptotic solutions, while the mutations vanish, as a sum of Dirac masses. A key point is a uniqueness property related to the weak KAM theory. This method allows to go further than the Gaussian approximation commonly used by biologists and is an attempt to fill the gap between the theories of adaptive dynamics and quantitative genetics.

We derive the conditions on the couplings for a large class of such systems which are necessary in order their actions admit conformal and superconformal symmetry. We find that some of these conditions can be encoded in the conformal and holomorphic geometry of the background. Several new examples of conformal and superconformal models are also given.

description: Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is a major component of tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (TEX) in cancer patients. Mechanisms utilized by TGFβ+ TEX to promote tumor growth and pro-tumor activities in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are largely unknown. TEX produced by head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines carried TGFβ and angiogenesis-promoting proteins. TGFβ+ TEX stimulated macrophage chemotaxis without a notable M1/M2 phenotype shift and reprogrammed primary human macrophages to a pro-angiogenic phenotype characterized by the upregulation of pro-angiogenic factors and functions. In a murine basement membrane extract plug model, TGFβ+ TEX promoted macrophage infiltration and vascularization (p < 0.001), which was blocked by using the TGFβ ligand trap mRER (p < 0.001). TGFβ+ TEX injected into mice undergoing the 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO)-driven oral carcinogenesis promoted tumor angiogenesis (p < 0.05), infiltration of M2-like macrophages in the TME (p < 0.05) and ultimately tumor progression (p < 0.05). Inhibition of TGFβ signaling in TEX with mRER ameliorated these pro-tumor activities. Silencing of TGFβ emerges as a critical step in suppressing pro-angiogenic functions of TEX in HNSCC.

description: The Q-cycle mechanism entering the electron and proton transport chain in oxygenic photosynthesis is an example of how biological processes can be efficiently investigated with elementary microscopic models. Here we address the problem of energy transport across the cellular membrane from an open quantum system theoretical perspective. We model the cytochrome $b_6f$ protein complex under cyclic electron flow conditions starting from a simplified kinetic model, which is hereby revisited in terms of a quantum master equation formulation and spin-boson Hamiltonian treatment. We apply this model to theoretically demonstrate an optimal thermodynamic efficiency of the Q-cycle around ambient and physiologically relevant temperature conditions. Furthermore, we determine the quantum yield of this complex biochemical process after setting the electrochemical potentials to values well established in the literature. The present work suggests that the theory of quantum open systems can successfully push forward our theoretical understanding of complex biological systems working close to the quantum/classical boundary.

Extrinsic Hermitian Geometry of Functional Determinants for Vector Subbundles and the Drinfeld--Sokolov Ghost System
Creators: name: Zucchini, Roberto
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In this paper, a novel method is presented for the study of the dependence of the functional determinant of the Laplace operator associated to a subbundle $F$ of a hermitian holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a Riemann surface $Σ$ on the hermitian structure $(h,H)$ of $E$. The generalized Weyl anomaly of the effective action is computed and found to be expressible in terms of a suitable generalization of the Liouville and Donaldson actions. The general techniques worked out are then applied to the study of a specific model, the Drinfeld--Sokolov (DS) ghost system arising in $W$--gravity. The expression of generalized Weyl anomaly of the DS ghost effective action is found. It is shown that, by a specific choice of the fiber metric $H_h$ depending on the base metric $h$, the effective action reduces into that of a conformal field theory. Its central charge is computed and found to agree with that obtained by the methods of hamiltonian reduction and conformal field theory. The DS holomorphic gauge group and the DS moduli space are defined and their dimensions are computed.

On the equivalence of the Impulse Approximation and the Gersch-Rodriguez-Smith theory for structure functions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We derive for a non-relativistic system an approximation for Final State Interactions in a form, resembling a DWIA which corrects the structure function computed in the PWIA. We then compare the Gersch-Rodriguez-Smith and the IA series for structure functions and prove that to order ${\cal O}(1/q^2)$ the above DWIA representation is contained in the GRS series to the same order. There is an additional term in the GRS series that is missing in the DWIA due to the eikonal approximations in the latter. This strongly suggests that the two approaches, when treated exactly, produce identical structure function to arbitrary order in $1/q$.

description: Originally mapped by Judge Graham and later documented by Wilke and Thompson, this oyster shell midden is being actively eroded by waves on Nanjemoy Creek. The midden surface has also been highly disturbed by disking and blading. Numerous piles of surplus or discarded test equipment are being stored on the midden. Radiocarbon dated at 2220 +/- 50 BP, this site is attributed to the Middle Woodland period. Supporting this cultural association is the presence of Mockley ceramics (three sherds). The carbon-14 date is at least 500 years earlier than any previous Mockley date and is questionable. Any error probably lies in the shell used for the date. The shell used for this date was obtained from the basal portion of the midden. Other items from this site include lithics, primarily quartz and quartzite flakes and chunks. The shell covers an area approximately 900 feet by 400 feet. MAAR's 1993 survey turned up 6 quartz & quartzite flakes, 1 rhyolite Lehigh point (in three pieces), and 1 firecracked rock. In addition, a scatter of 18th century artifacts was found, including 1 Staffordshire redware, 2 creamware, 1 whiteware, and 2 other redware sherds, 3 bottle glass, and 1 wrought nail.

description: We investigate the evolution of a well-observed, long-lived, low-latitude coronal hole (CH) over 10 solar rotations in the year 2012. By combining EUV imagery from STEREO-A/B and SDO we are able to track and study the entire evolution of the CH having a continuous 360$°$ coverage of the Sun. The remote sensing data are investigated together with in-situ solar wind plasma and magnetic field measurements from STEREO-A/B, ACE and WIND. From this we obtain how different evolutionary states of the CH as observed in the solar atmosphere (changes in EUV intensity and area) affect the properties of the associated high-speed stream measured at $1$AU. Most distinctly pronounced for the CH area, three development phases are derived: a) growing, b) maximum, and c) decaying phase. During these phases the CH area a) increases over a duration of around three months from about $1 \cdot 10^{10} \mathrm{km}^{2}$ to $6 \cdot 10^{10} \mathrm{km}^{2}$, b) keeps a rather constant area for about one month of $> 9 \cdot 10^{10} \mathrm{km}^{2}$, and c) finally decreases in the following three months below $1 \cdot 10^{10} \mathrm{km}^{2}$ until the CH cannot be identified anymore. The three phases manifest themselves also in the EUV intensity and in in-situ measured solar wind proton bulk velocity. Interestingly, the three phases are related to a different range in solar wind speed variations and we find for the growing phase a range of $460-600$~km~s$^{-1}$, for the maximum phase $600-720$~km~s$^{-1}$, and for the decaying phase a more irregular behavior connected to slow and fast solar wind speed of $350-550$~km~s$^{-1}$.

Role of FXR in the Adaptive Response to Bile Acids during Pregnancy
Creators: name: Milona, Alexandra
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The bile acid receptor FXR maintains bile acid homeostasis through the dynamic regulation of transporters, detoxification and biosynthesis enzymes. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is caused by disturbance in bile acid homeostasis in predisposed individuals. The first genetic variants in FXR, identified in an ICP population, are investigated in this thesis using in vitro approaches and a functional effect is demonstrated. Reproductive hormones are implicated in the aetiology of ICP but experiments in mice suggest that estrogen and progesterone alone are unlikely to be the cause of gestational cholestasis. Pregnancy increases the metabolic demand on the maternal liver and, in mice, causes maternal hepatomegaly that is associated with pro-cholestatic gene expression and raised serum and hepatic bile acids. Gestational hepatomegaly is characterised in detail for the first time and Fxr is shown to be required to maintain the normal mechanisms driving this process. Furthermore, pro-cholestatic gene expression and the fact that hepatic bile acids do not accumulate in pregnant Fxr-/- or cholate-fed mice suggest that for unknown reasons, gestation could be a period of reduced Fxr function. Conclusions: Pregnancy causes perturbed bile acid homeostasis in mice. This may be a result of Fxr playing a complex role in mediating, or responding to, the metabolic demands of gestation. Furthermore, FXR protects individuals from developing pregnancy-specific cholestatic disease.

description: We present some details of our recent theoretical investigations on the total cross section of the reactions $pp\to pp π^0$, $pp\to pp η$ and $pp\to pΛK^+$ at threshold. Applying standard nonrelativistic perturbation theory within the framework of meson exchange models (MEC) to all of the investigated processes we observe that theory is still far--off from a quantitative understanding of the existing data, although the qualitative behaviour of the threshold cross sections can be reproduced. The often quoted $η^2$--dependence of the $pp\to pp π^0$ cross section at threshold is due to a calculational mistake of Koltun and Reitan (1966) and not based on theoretical grounds, where threebody phasespace behaviour would yield $η^4$, which can be affected by final state and short range effects. To respect the high momentum transfers for $pp\to pp η$ and $pp\to pΛK^+$ relativistic models were developed. Hereby the $η$--production still is based on MEC, while the $K^+$ production was investigated in the quark-gluon-picture based on the Bethe--Salpeter formalism.

Biotic interactions and species diversification in Southern African biodiversity hotspots
Creators: name: Schnitzler, Jan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2009

description: The south-western tip of Africa holds unique levels of species richness and endemism, and contains two hotspots of biodiversity: the Cape Floristic Region and the Succulent Karoo. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the radiation of the region’s diverse flora. However, due to the lack of comprehensive, comparative studies, the major forces that drive plant diversification have remained unclear. My thesis combines near-complete specieslevel molecular phylogenies with detailed biological, ecological and biogeographical information to investigate the evolutionary processes generating southern Africa's exceptional plant diversity. I demonstrate that in the genus Babiana (Iridaceae) climatic niches retain a high degree of phylogenetic conservatism, and show that species of Babiana were only able to successfully extend their range into new biomes with the establishment of more favourable climates. Additionally, results indicate that floral characters in Babiana evolve according to a new 'reversible shift' model, which better explains the evolution of pollination systems through multi-directional transitions in a diverse pollinator environment. These findings challenge the commonly held idea that floral specialisation is an evolutionary dead-end and offer new perspectives towards our understanding of plant-pollinator interactions. Analyses of a comprehensive data set of four large Cape clades show that the temporal dynamics of plant radiations in southern Africa confirm that the flora represents a combination of ancient and young radiations, and that diversification rates have remained constant through time. Finally, I reveal that although several biotic and abiotic factors contribute to the diversity, soil-type shifts is the most important driver of plant diversification in southern Africa. Together with complex geomorphological conditions, this factor, rather than pollinator specialisation or phenological divergence, has given rise to the exceptional diversity found in this region today. Comparisons with other biodiversity hotspots, especially those with Mediterranean climates, will reveal whether this is a global scenario for the evolution of hyper-diverse floras.

description: Manipulations of return addresses on the stack are the basis for a variety of attacks on programs written in memory unsafe languages. Dual stack schemes for protecting return addresses promise an efficient and effective defense against such attacks. By introducing a second, safe stack to separate return addresses from potentially unsafe stack objects, they prevent attacks that, for example, maliciously modify a return address by overflowing a buffer. However, the security of dual stacks is based on the concealment of the safe stack in memory. Unfortunately, all current dual stack schemes are vulnerable to information disclosure attacks that are able to reveal the safe stack location, and therefore effectively break their promised security properties. In this paper, we present a new, leak-resilient dual stack scheme capable of withstanding sophisticated information disclosure attacks. We carefully study previous dual stack schemes and systematically develop a novel design for stack separation that eliminates flaws leading to the disclosure of safe stacks. We show the feasibility and practicality of our approach by presenting a full integration into the LLVM compiler framework with support for the x86-64 and ARM64 architectures. With an average of 2.7% on x86-64 and 0.0% on ARM64, the performance overhead of our implementation is negligible.

description: During development of colon cancer, Protein Kinase Cs (PKCs) are involved in regulation of many genes controlling several cellular mechanisms. Here, we examined the changes in cell adhesion molecules and PKCs for colorectal cancer progression. We identified that PKCs affected expression of EpCAM, claudins, tetraspanins. Treatment with low concentrations of PKC inhibitors resulted in decreased cell viability. In addition, immunoblotting and qRT-PCR analysis showed that apoptosis was inhibited while autophagy was induced by PKC inhibition in colon cancer cells. Furthermore, we observed decreased levels of intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl, confirming the ROS-induced apoptosis. Taken together, our results reveal that PKC signalling modulates not only cell adhesion dynamics but also cell death-related mechanisms.

Hilbert-Huang Transform: biosignal analysis and practical implementation
Creators: name: Eftekhar, Amir
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Any system, however trivial, is subjected to data analysis on the signals it produces. Over the last 50 years the influx of new techniques and expansions of older ones have allowed a number of new applications, in a variety of fields, to be analysed and to some degree understood. One of the industries that is benefiting from this growth is the medical field and has been further progressed with the growth of interdisciplinary collaboration. From a signal processing perspective, the challenge comes from the complex and sometimes chaotic nature of the signals that we measure from the body, such as those from the brain and to some degree the heart. In this work we will make a contribution to dealing with such systems, in the form of a recent time-frequency data analysis method, the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), and extensions to it. This thesis presents an analysis of the state of the art in seizure and heart arrhythmia detection and prediction methods. We then present a novel real-time implementation of the algorithm both in software and hardware and the motivations for doing so. First, we present our software implementation, encompassing realtime capabilities and identifying elements that need to be considered for practical use. We then translated this software into hardware to aid real-time implementation and integration. With these implementations in place we apply the HHT method to the topic of epilepsy (seizures) and additionally make contributions to heart arrhythmias and neonate brain dynamics. We use the HHT and some additional algorithms to quantify features associated with each application for detection and prediction. We also quantify significance of activity in such a way as to merge prediction and detection into one framework. Finally, we assess the real-time capabilities of our methods for practical use as a biosignal analysis tool.

description: We consider kinetic models for a multi component gas mixture without chemical reactions. In the literature, one can find two types of BGK models in order to describe gas mixtures. One type has a sum of BGK type interaction terms in the relaxation operator, for example the model described by Klingenberg, Pirner and Puppo, 2017 which contains well-known models of physicists and engineers for example Hamel, 1965, and Gross and Krook, 1956, as special cases. The other type contains only one collision term on the right-hand side, for example the well-known model of Andries, Aoki and Perthame, 2002. For each of these two models we prove existence, uniqueness and positivity of solutions in the first part of the paper. In the second part, we use the first model in order to determine an unknown function in the energy exchange of the macroscopic equations for gas mixtures described by Dellacherie.
Chemical Bionics - a novel design approach using ion sensitive field effect transistors

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: In the late 1980s Carver Mead introduced Neuromorphic engineering in which various aspects of the neural systems of the body were modelled using VLSI1 circuits. As a result most bio-inspired systems to date concentrate on modelling the electrical behaviour of neural systems such as the eyes, ears and brain. The reality is however that biological systems rely on chemical as well as electrical principles in order to function. This thesis introduces chemical bionics in which the chemically-dependent physiology of specific cells in the body is implemented for the development of novel bio-inspired therapeutic devices. The glucose dependent pancreatic beta cell is shown to be one such cell, that is designed and fabricated to form the first silicon metabolic cell. By replicating the bursting behaviour of biological beta cells, which respond to changes in blood glucose, a bio-inspired prosthetic for glucose homeostasis of Type I diabetes is demonstrated. To compliment this, research to further develop the Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) on unmodified CMOS is also presented for use as a monolithic sensor for chemical bionic systems. Problems arising by using the native passivation of CMOS as a sensing surface are described and methods of compensation are presented. A model for the operation of the device in weak inversion is also proposed for exploitation of its physical primitives to make novel monolithic solutions. Functional implementations in various technologies is also detailed to allow future implementations chemical bionic circuits. Finally the ISFET integrate and fire neuron, which is the first of its kind, is presented to be used as a chemical based building block for many existing neuromorphic circuits. As an example of this a chemical imager is described for spatio-temporal monitoring of chemical species and an acid base discriminator for monitoring changes in concentration around a fixed threshold is also proposed.

A computational method for simulating dispersed two-phase flows using the PDF approach
Creators: name: Lad, Bharat
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The thesis presents a Probability Density Function (PDF)-derived Eulerian/Eulerian model for the prediction of dispersed two-phase (solid/gas) flows. Continuum equations for the dispersed phase are formulated from the Kinetic Model (KM) PDF transport equations. The Kinetic stresses of the dispersed phase are determined from an algebraic stress model (ASM) together with a KM-based transport equation for the fluctuating kinetic energy. The continuum equations for the continuous phase are assumed to be the same as those in the Eulerian two-fluid model except for the interfacial momentum and energy transfer terms. Closures for these terms are derived from the PDF KM and mirror their counterparts in the dispersed phase equations. Also, the carrier phase turbulence is modelled by the standard k-ε model. These transport equations are solved using the numerical framework of an existing two-fluid approach. Furthermore, the current two-fluid model practice of applying wall functions to impose boundary conditions is adapted for application to the particulate phase. Such wall functions are calculated from the PDF KM itself. In this approach, the PDF equations are pre-integrated using the fully developed flow assumption along the wall to relate wall fluxes to values of the relevant variables in the interior of the flow. Such integration is utilised to create a wall functions database for a range of mean flow conditions. The model is validated against a range of both unbounded and bounded flow cases. Comparisons are made with experimental data as well as the results of other computational methods. It was found that the proposed model performs very well in capturing particulate behaviour and improves, in certain aspects, on the performance of traditional two-fluid models while retaining the practicality of the latter model for industrial applications. In particular, a reasonable capture of the particulate dispersion was observed within jet flows. Improvements were also seen in the prediction of mass flux distribution in shear layers and an accurate capture of near-wall mass distributions in bounded flows.
D-instanton induced interactions on a D3-brane

description: Non-perturbative features of the derivative expansion of the effective action of a single D3-brane are obtained by considering scattering amplitudes of open and closed strings. This motivates expressions for the coupling constant dependence of world-volume interactions of the form $(\partial F)^4$ (where F is the Born-Infeld field strength), $(\partial^2ϕ)^4$ (where $ϕ$ are the normal coordinates of the D3-brane) and other interactions related by $\calN=4$ supersymmetry. These include terms that transform with non-trivial modular weight under Montonen-Olive duality. The leading D-instanton contributions that enter into these effective interactions are also shown to follow from an explicit stringy construction of the moduli space action for the D-instanton/D3-brane system in the presence of D3-brane open-string sources (but in the absence of a background antisymmetric tensor potential). Extending this action to include closed-string sources leads to a unified description of non-perturbative terms in the effective action of the form (embedding curvature)$^2$ together with open-string interactions that describe contributions of the second fundamental form.
