description: Both in the Faraday Rotation Measure and the intrinsic polarization angle, new features are revealed to indicate a helical magnetic field operating along the jet of the bright active galactic nuclei 3C 273. The helical field has been suggested to be related to the formation and collimation of jets by magnetohydrodynamic models. The distribution of the RM shows a systematic gradient with respect to the jet axis, which is expected by a helical magnetic field. In addition, the helical field can consistently explain two types in the direction of the projected magnetic field: parallel and perpendicular to the jet axis. Further, if the helical magnetic field is generated by winding up of an initial field by rotation of the accretion disk, we can uniquely determine the direction of the disk rotation, since the jet is approaching us.

description: In the binary-driven hypernova model of long gamma-ray bursts, a carbon-oxygen star explodes as a supernova in presence of a neutron star binary companion in close orbit. Hypercritical (i.e. highly super-Eddington) accretion of the ejecta matter onto the neutron star sets in, making it reach the critical mass with consequent formation of a Kerr black hole. We have recently shown that, during the accretion process onto the neutron star, fast neutrino flavour oscillations occur. Numerical simulations of the above system show that a part of the ejecta keeps bound to the newborn Kerr black hole, leading to a new process of hypercritical accretion. We here address, also for this phase of the binary-driven hypernova, the occurrence of neutrino flavour oscillations given the extreme conditions of high density (up to $10^{12}$ g cm$^{-3}$) and temperatures (up to tens of MeV) inside this disk. We estimate the \textcolor{red}{behaviour} of the electronic and non-electronic neutrino content within the two-flavour formalism ($ν_{e}ν_{x}$) under the action of neutrino collective effects by neutrino self-interactions. We find that in the case of inverted mass hierarchy, neutrino oscillations inside the disk have frequencies between $\sim (10^{5}$-$10^{9})$ s$^{-1}$, leading the disk to achieve flavour equipartition. This implies that the energy deposition rate by neutrino annihilation ($ν+ \barν \to e^{-} + e^{+}$) in the vicinity of the Kerr black hole, is smaller than previous estimates in the literature not accounting by flavour oscillations inside the disk. The exact value of the reduction factor depends on the $ν_{e}$ and $ν_{x}$ optical depths but it can be as high as $\sim 5$. The results of this work are a first step toward the analysis of neutrino oscillations in a novel astrophysical context and, as such, deserve further attention.

description: We performed resistivity measurements in CuRh$_{2}$S$_{4}$ under quasi-hydrostatic pressure of up to 8.0 GPa, and found a pressure induced superconductor-insulator (SI) transition. Initially, with increasing pressure, the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ increases from 4.7 K at ambient pressure to 6.4 K at 4.0 GPa, but decreases at higher pressures. With further compression, superconductivity in CuRh$_{2}$S$_{4}$ disappears abruptly at a critical pressure $P_{\rm SI}$ between 5.0 and 5.6 GPa, when it becomes an insulator.

Generation of functional mature type II pneumocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells in 3D dynamic culture
Creators: name: Alsobaie, Tamador Fahad
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Lung diseases have become a more prominent problem worldwide due to smoking and pollution and they are increasingly responsible for elevated mortality and morbidity. Pro-gressive fibrosis followed by a subsequent loss of functional lung tissue and gas-exchange units, are the main causes for chronic lung diseases. In addition, failure to maintain endo-thelial and epithelial regeneration can also lead to the pathological fibrosis. More research is needed to find an alternative solution for the effective repair of lung tissue (Moodley et al., 2013). For patients with chronic lung disease, lung transplantation is the only option available at present. However, the limited availability of lung donors and possible immu-nological and surgical complications constrain the wide application of transplantation. Alt-hough implantation of ex-vivo-produced lung tissue could address the limitations of trans-plantation, their development has been limited by the lack of models to study the necessary developmental roadmaps for ex-vivo production of the required tissues. In this thesis, these issues were addressed through a tissue engineering approach whereby human induced pluripotent stem cells (human IPSCs) were used to produce type-II pneumocyte. This ap-proach offers the promise of cure and regeneration of injured and diseased lungs. Several researchers attempted differentiation of human IPSCs into type-II pneumocytes using 2-Dimensional (2D) cell cultures. The novelty of this work resides in the use of 3-Dimensional (3D) cultures motivated by the ability to mimic the in-vivo microenvironment. We show that alginate beads provide a reduced oxygen environment, better cellular expansion, dif-ferentiation and functional capacities ideal for the production of Type II pneumocytes. Dif-ferentiation was induced by stimulating the signalling pathways involved in alveolar epi-thelia development, forming human IPSC-derived SFTPC+ cells in 3D cultures without the need for mesenchymal support and xeno-free contamination (i.e. Matrigel™). These cells exhibit the capacity of trans-differentiation of alveolar epithelial type II to type I cells, and show additional functional features such as the lamellar bodies specific of type II pneumo-cytes, and confirmed by immuno-histology using electron microscopy. Furthermore, the 3D cultures herein developed were comparatively easy to scale up to bioreactors. Overall, our approach has proved able to promote IPSCs differentiation into Type II pneumocytes in a 3D environment using an engineered scaffold in a scalable manner. In the future, the strategy herein presented can be used for the generation of distal lung tissue for drug screening and disease modelling.

A fundamental study on the processes underpinning the lignin-first biorefining of lignocellulose
Creators: name: Chesi, Claudio
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Lignocellulosic biomass represents a valuable candidate for the replacement of fossil resources in the production of value-added chemicals, materials and biofuels, thanks to a diverse composition rich in carbohydrates (i.e. cellulose and hemicellulose) and aromatics (i.e. lignin). However, the success of lignocellulose as the feedstock of tomorrow relies on the valorisation of its full content, which requires appropriate methodologies for fractionation into its components and, particularly, the preservation of lignin reactivity. The lignin-first biorefining based on Early-stage Catalytic Conversion of Lignin (ECCL) is among the most promising approaches for catalytic fractionation of biomass. It deconstructs biomass in organic solvents in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, enabling the recovery of a high-quality carbohydrate fraction together with a highly functionalised lignin product. This dissertation investigates the mechanistic aspects underpinning the Catalytic Upstream Biorefining process (CUB) based on the ECCL concept, employing Raney Ni as the hydrogenation catalyst and 2-PrOH 7:3 v/v as a lignin-extracting liquor and H-donor. Finally, the biomass structure played a crucial role in the transport of the released lignin fragments from the lignocellulosic matrix to the reaction medium, where catalytic reactions can occur, as higher deconstruction achieved in CUB experiments performed in more severe conditions enhanced the degrees of lignin depolymerisation. In the context of biomass deconstruction, sugars derived from hemicellulose degradation in CUB were found to have a relevant impact on Raney Ni's catalytic selectivity, which could be shifted from phenols to cyclohexanols by enhancing the preservation of hemicellulose. An investigation on the time evolution of the physicochemical processes occurring in CUB highlighted the relevance of the first 50 min of the process, during which the extent of delignification is the highest. Importantly, the activity of Raney Ni in limiting repolymerisation reactions on the released lignin fragments is maintained throughout the time range 0-300min. Through a Design of Experiment study, the interplay of process parameters (i.e. wood loading, catalyst loading, solvent volume) on the performances of CUB (i.e. pulp delignification, hemicellulose retention in pulp, ratio low-MW/high-MW species in lignin, total content of monophenols in lignin, content of hydroxypropyl phenols in lignin) was assessed in detail, revealing that the amount of catalyst employed and the concentration of lignin species in the reaction medium relevantly affect biomass deconstruction and lignin depolymerisation. Based on the acquired knowledge, optimum conditions for maximising the performances of CUB were designed and tested, showing promising results for the application of the process to a large scale.

description: We investigate the possible emergence of topological Hall effect (THE) in a driven magnetic DW. Numerical simulation based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equation shows that the emergent magnetic flux appears when the DW is in a non-equilibrium state. The magnitude of magnetic flux is modulated by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) or in-plane longitudinal magnetic field, providing an experimental test of the predicted THE. These results indicate that the THE can be observed even in a topologically trivial magnetic DW, and therefore open up new possibility to electrically detect the dynamical spin structure.

description: Nonparametric test procedures in predictive regressions have χ2 limiting null distributions under both low and high regressor persistence, but low local power compared to misspecified linear predictive regressions. We argue that IV inference is better suited (in terms of local power) for analyzing additive predictive models with uncertain predictor persistence. Then, a two-step procedure is proposed for out-of-sample predictions. For the current estimation window, one first tests for predictability; in case of a rejection, one predicts using a nonlinear regression model, otherwise the historic average of the stock returns is used. This two-step approach performs better than competitors (though not by a large margin) in a pseudo-out-of-sample prediction exercise for the S&P 500.

description: The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect is a powerful tool for cosmology that can be used to measure the radial peculiar velocities of galaxy clusters, and thus to test, and constrain, theories of structure formation and evolution. This requires, in principle, an accurate measurement of the effect, a good separation between the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich components, and a good understanding of the sources contributing to the signal and their effect on the measured velocity. In this study, we evaluate the error in the individual radial peculiar velocities determined with Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements. We estimate, for three cosmological models, the errors induced by the major contributing signals (primary Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect due to the background cluster population, residuals from component separation and instrumental noise). We generalise our results to estimate the error in the bulk velocity on large scales. In this context, we investigate the limitation due to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich source (or spatial) confusion in a Planck-like instrumental configuration. Finally, we propose a strategy based on the future all-sky Sunyaev-Zel'dovich survey, that will be provided by the Planck mission, to measure accurately the bulk velocities on large scales up to redshift 1, or more.

description: We present the results of a long term telescopic observation campaign of comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, parent body of the Draconid meteor shower, spanning $\sim 240$ days during its 2018 apparition. Determinations of comet 21P's dust production rate through the $Afρ$ parameter derived from these images show that the comet had a highly asymmetric dust production rate that peaked $\sim 10-30$ days before perihelion, when the comet was at a heliocentric distance of $\sim 1.02 - 1.08 \thinspace \mathrm{AU}$. The single highest $Afρ$ measurement occurred on 2018-Aug-14 (27 days before perihelion), and had a measured value of $Afρ= 1594 \thinspace \mathrm{cm}$. The comet's $Afρ$ profile is well described by a double-exponential model that rises rapidly during ingress and declines even more rapidly during its egress. These results are fully consistent with observations of comet 21P's dust and gas production rates during past apparitions, and suggest that the double-exponential model we have derived provides a reasonable and stable approximation for the comet's activity over the past thirty to forty years.

description: Purpose: To compare running suture (RS) and interrupted suture (IS) of vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) during open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) on early urinary continence and extravasation. Patients and methods: Single center analysis of 211 patients who underwent RRP performed by a single surgeon during 2008 to 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. For VUA, we used the standard interrupted suture technique (n=100) with a 3-0 PDS suture. The RS (n=111) was performed with 12-bite suture using 3-0 PDS. The primary endpoints were extravasation and early continence. Demographic and peri-operative data were collected and analyzed using Pearson's chi-square, t-Test and Mann-Whitney U-test. A binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to explore predictors that affected early continence after catheter removal. Results: The rates of early urinary incontinence (UI) were 7.7% vs 42.2% (p<0.001). The duration of catheterization and hospitalization was significantly shorter in the interrupted group (4 days vs 5 days, p<0.001 and 5 days vs 6 days, p<0.001). The groups did not differ significantly in body mass index or prostate volume. There were older patients and higher PSA levels in the group with RS technique. No significant difference was found in the postoperative extravasation rates between both groups (13.5% vs 12%, p=0.742). Conclusion: Running vesicourethral anastomosis increased the rate of early urinary incontinence. Both anastomosis techniques provided a similar rate of postoperative urine extravasation. VUA should only be one of the many criteria that must be considered for the preservation of urinary continence of patients after RRP.

description: We present UBV CCD observations obtained in the field of the northern open cluster NGC 1220, for which little information is available. We provide also BV CCD photometry of a field 5$^{\prime}$ northward of NGC 1220 to take into account field star contamination. We argue that NGC 1220 is a young compact open cluster, for which we estimate a core radius in the range $1.5-2.0$ arcmin. We identify 26 likely candidate members with spectral type earlier than $A5$, down to $V_o$=15.00 mag on the basis of the position in the two-colour Diagram and in the Colour Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs). By analyzing the distribution of these stars in the colour-colour and CMDs, we find that NGC 1220 has a reddening E$(B-V)=0.70\pm0.15$ mag, is placed $1800\pm200$ pc distant from the Sun, and has an age of about 60 Myrs. The cluster turns out to be located about 120 pc above the Galactic plane, relatively high with respect to its age.

Synthesis of macrocycles via olefin metathesis: process intensification using organic solvent nanofiltration
Creators: name: Cupani, Anna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Macrocycles are an important feature of many pharmaceutical compounds. They combine high target selectivity and lower metabolic degradation than acyclic analogues but are difficult to synthesise and mostly extracted from natural sources. With the discovery of olefin metathesis reaction, cycles of different sizes can now be obtained efficiently via Ring Closing Metathesis (RCM). To avoid side-product formation, the cyclization is done in extremely diluted conditions. This approach requires large amounts of solvents, is expensive and not environmentally sustainable. This thesis investigated two strategies for the synthesis of macrocycles via olefin metathesis using membrane technology to reduce the solvent load and improve the process mass intensity (PMI). The first approach was to work at high concentrations, separate the side-products using Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) and convert them back into acyclic starting material exploiting the reversibility of the olefin metathesis. This work investigated the influence of several parameters on the RCM of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API). It looked at the feasibility of the membrane separation and explored the reversibility of the olefin metathesis reaction. The importance of pre-organization of the acyclic substrate in favouring the intramolecular reaction was proved comparing the reactivity of a chosen substrate and its derivatives. A partial removal of side-products was achieved using OSN membranes and the limits of the reverse reaction were tested, proving that oligomers and polymers were hardly recyclable. The second approach was to limit the formation of side-products working at high dilution, coupling the RCM reaction with in-line solvent recycling via OSN. The study was done on a model substrate whose cyclization occurred in a mixture constantly circulated through a membrane that separated the product and permeated pure solvent into the reaction vessel. No yield loss was observed in comparison to the same batch reaction and the PMI was increased. This proof-of-concept study showed the potential of nanofiltration to make macrocyclization reactions more efficient and sustainable. The flexibility of this technique makes it applicable to different reactions and scalable for industrial applications.

Reciprocity theorem in high-temperature superconductors

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: This article is devoted to the problem of the validity of the reciprocity theorem in high-temperature superconductors (HTSC). The violation of the reciprocity theorem in zero external magnetic fields has been studied. Experimental data obtained for two different superconducting materials: BiSrCaCuO and YBaCuO are presented. Results show that the basic form of the reciprocity theorem (without consideration of any additional anisotropy) is not valid near the critical temperature. We assume that the reciprocity theorem breaking is connected with the existence of an extraordinary transverse electric field originated from additional anisotropy and more general form of the reciprocity relations should be valid. However, the origin of this anisotropy is not clear yet. We suggest that the vortex-antivortex dynamics model taking into account vortex guiding can be responsible for the observed effect. Also the explanation based on weak P and T symmetry breaking in HTSC which is supported by the observation of the spontaneous magnetisation can not be excluded.

A variational proof for the existence of a conformal metric with preassigned negative Gaussian curvature for compact Riemann surfaces of genus $>1$

description: Given an smooth function $K <0$ we prove a result by Berger, Kazhdan and others that in every conformal class there exists a metric which attains this function as its Gaussian curvature for a compact Riemann surface of genus $g>1$. We do so by minimizing an appropriate functional using elementary analysis. In particular for $K$ a negative constant, this provides an elementary proof of the uniformization theorem for compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g >1$.

description: Nonparametric test procedures in predictive regressions (Juhl 2014; Kasparis et al. 2015) have χ2 limiting null distributions under both low and high regressor persistence, but low local power compared to misspecified linear predictive regressions. We argue that IV inference (Kostakis et al. 2015; Breitung and Demetrescu 2015) is better suited (in terms of local power) for analyzing additive predictive models with uncertain predictor persistence. Then, a two-step procedure is proposed for out-of-sample predictions. For the current estimation window, one first tests for predictability; in case of a rejection, one predicts using a nonlinear regression model, otherwise the historic average of the stock returns is used. This two-step approach performs better than competitors (though not by a large margin) in a pseudo-out-of-sample prediction exercise for the S&P 500.

description: Active Galactic Nuclei are objects associated with the presence of an accretion disc around supermassive black holes found in the very central region of galaxies with a well-defined bulge. In the optical range of the spectrum, a possible signature of the accretion disc is the presence of a broad double-peaked component that is mostly seen in H$α$. In this paper, we report the detection of a double-peaked feature in the H$α$ line in the nucleus of the galaxy NGC 4958. The narrow line region of this object has an emission that is typical of a LINER galaxy, which is the usual classification for double-peaked emitters. A central broad component, related to the broad line region (BLR) of this object, is seen in H$α$ and also in H$β$. We concluded that the double-peaked emission is emitted by a circular relativistic Keplerian disc with an inner radius $ξ_{\rm i}$ = 570$\pm$ 83, an outer radius $ξ_{\rm o}$ = 860$\pm$170 (both in units of $GM_{\rm SMBH}/c^2$), an inclination to the line of sight $i$ = 27.2$^o \pm$0.7$^o$ and a local broadening parameter $σ$ = 1310$\pm$70 km s$^{-1}$.

description: The stochasticity in the distribution of dark haloes in the cosmic density field is reflected in the distribution function $P_V(N_h|δ_m)$ which gives the probability of finding $N_h$ haloes in a volume $V$ with mass density contrast $δ_m$. We study the properties of this function using high-resolution $N$-body simulations, and find that $P_V(N_n|δ_m)$ is significantly non-Poisson. The ratio between the variance and the mean goes from $\sim 1$ (Poisson) at $1+δ_m\ll 1$ to $<1$ (sub-Poisson) at $1+δ_m\sim 1$ to $>1$ (super-Poisson) at $1+δ_m\gg 1$. The mean bias relation is found to be well described by halo bias models based on the Press-Schechter formalism. The sub-Poisson variance can be explained as a result of halo-exclusion while the super-Poisson variance at high $δ_m$ may be explained as a result of halo clustering. A simple phenomenological model is proposed to describe the behavior of the variance as a function of $δ_m$. Galaxy distribution in the cosmic density field predicted by semi-analytic models of galaxy formation shows similar stochastic behavior. We discuss the implications of the stochasticity in halo bias to the modelling of higher-order moments of dark haloes and of galaxies.

Driving Driven Lattice Gases to Identify Their Universality Classes

description: The critical behavior of driven lattice gas models has been studied for decades as a paradigm to explore nonequilibrium phase transitions and critical phenomena. However, there exists a long-standing controversy in the universality classes to which they belong. This is of paramount importance as it implies the question of whether or not a microscopic model and its mesoscopic field theory may possess different symmetries in nonequilibrium critical phenomena in contrast to their equilibrium counterparts. Here, we heat with finite rates two generic models of driven lattice gases across their respective nonequilibrium critical points into further nonequilibrium conditions. Employing the theory of finite-time scaling, we are able to unambiguously discriminate the universality classes between the two models. In particular, the infinitely driven lattice gas and the randomly driven lattice gas models belong to different universality classes. These results show that finite-time scaling is effective even in nonequilibrium phase transitions.

description: It is controversially discussed whether immune-deficient mice experience severity in the absence of infection. Because a comprehensive analysis of the well-being of immune-deficient mice under specific pathogen free conditions is missing, we used a multi-parametric test analyzing, corticosterone, weight, nest building and facial expression over a period of 9 month to determine the well-being of two immune-deficient mouse lines (recombination activating gene 2- and interferon gamma receptor-deficient mice). We do not find evidence for severity when comparing immune-deficient mice to their heterozygous immune-competent littermates. Our data challenge the assumption that immune-deficiency per se regardless of housing conditions causes severity. Based on our study we propose to use objective non-invasive parameters determined by laboratory animal science for decisions concerning severity of immune-deficient mice.
