Penalized likelihood methods for covariance selection in the context of non-stationary data

description: Graphical models have established themselves as fundamental tools through which to understand complex relationships in high-dimensional datasets. Applications abound, a pertinent example being neuroimaging where Gaussian graphical models are employed to model statistical dependencies across spatially remote brain regions. Often such models are estimated under regularization penalties which help to enforce properties such as sparsity. Much of the current methodology is rooted on the assumption that the same covariance structure characterizes all observations and may be summarized using a single graphical model. However, such an assumption is untenable in the context of many applications. In order to address this issue, we propose a host of algorithms through which to accurately estimate Gaussian graphical models in the context of data with heterogeneous covariance structure. Formally, this thesis is focused in studying graphical models in two distinct manifestations of heterogeneity in covariance structure. The first relates to the task of estimating time-varying graphical models and two algorithms are proposed to this end. A related challenge is associated with the choice of regularization parameter: in the presence of variable covariance structure such a parameter is both difficult to estimate and potentially time-varying itself. In order to address these challenges, a novel framework is proposed through which to iteratively tune this parameter. The second manifestation is related to the presence of heterogeneity in covariance structure across multiple related graphical models. In such a setting scientific objectives consist in inferring the covariance structure shared across all graphs together with the idiosyncrasies of each specific graph. A related objective which is often overlooked consists of quantifying variability across all graphs. A novel algorithm is proposed through which to simultaneously address the aforementioned objectives.

Notes: Carex enneastachya is another species of the section Phacocystis new for the Peruvian flora. Its presence in Peru has geographical sense since this species had already been recorded in Ecuador and Bolivia (Govaerts et al. c2019). In contrast with the materials that we cited above under C. brehmeri, these specimens are tall plants with elongated stems and several cylindrical spikes, and therefore easily identified as C. enneastachya.

description: The photometric and spectroscopic data of the CFRS survey of objects with 17.5 < I_{AB} < 22.5 are combined and analysed. The overall completeness is 85%. The redshift histogram of the sample is presented for 591 field galaxies with secure redshifts. The median redshift is z = 0.56, and the highest redshift observed is z = 1.3; 25 galaxies have z > 1 The distributions of magnitudes and colors demonstrate that galaxies at these high redshifts have very similar colors to those observed locally. The survey thus represents a major improvement in our knowledge of field galaxies at large look-back times. Only ~1% of the galaxies are as compact as stars (on images with FWHM ~ 0.9") and comparisons of the photometric and spectroscopic data show that only one galaxy was initially incorrectly classified spectroscopically as a star, and only two stars were misclassified as galaxies. It is demonstrated that the redshift distributions in the five fields are statistically consistent with each other, once the reduction in the effective number of independent galaxies due to small-scale clustering in redshift is taken into account. The photometric properties of the spectroscopically-unidentified objects indicate that most are likely to be galaxies rather than stars. At least half of these must have the same redshift distribution as the identified galaxies, and a combination of magnitudes, colors and compactness of the remaining unidentified galaxies is used to predict their redshifts. The majority are probably ordinary galaxies at the high redshift end of our sample, including some quiescent galaxies at z > 1.0, rather than some new or unusual population.

description: Central jet vetoes are powerful tools for reducing QCD background in measurements and searches for electroweak and colorless, new physics processes in hadron collisions. In this letter, we report the key findings of a new philosophy to designing searches for such phenomena at hadron colliders, one designed and centered around a dynamical jet veto instead a static veto applied independently of other selection criteria. Specifically, we investigate the theoretical and phenomenological consequences of setting the jet veto scale to the transverse momentum $(p_T)$ of the leading charged lepton $\ell$ in multi-lepton processes on an event-by-event basis. We consider the case of a TeV-scale heavy neutrino $N$ decaying to the trilepton final state and find the following: (i) Perturbative uncertainties associated with the veto greatly reduce due to tying the veto scale to the hard process scale. (ii) The signal efficiency for passing the veto jumps to $\gtrsim95\%$ and exhibits little-to-no dependence on the neutrino mass scale. (iii) Top quark and `fake' lepton rejection capabilities also improve compared to only vetoing heavy flavor-tagged jets above a fixed $p_T$. This results in an increased sensitivity to active-sterile neutrino mixing by approximately an order of magnitude over the LHC's lifetime. For a Dirac neutrino with mass $m_N = 150-1000$ GeV and the representative active-sterile mixing hypothesis $\vert V_{e4}\vert = \vert V_{τ4}\vert$ with $\vert V_{μ4}\vert=0$, we find that LHC experiments can probe $\vert V_{e4}\vert^2, \vert V_{τ4}\vert^2 \lesssim 6\times10^{-4} - 8\times10^{-3}$, surpassing the global upper limit for $m_N < 450$ GeV, with $\mathcal{L}=3$ ab$^{-1}$ of data at $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV. Due to the color structures of the heavy $N$ production mechanisms considered, we argue that our results hold broadly for other color-singlet processes.

Reasoning about POSIX file systems
Creators: name: Ntzik, Gian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: POSIX is a standard for operating systems, with a substantial part devoted to specifying file-system operations. File-system operations exhibit complex concurrent behaviour, comprising multiple actions affecting different parts of the state: typically, multiple atomic reads followed by an atomic update. However, the standard's description of concurrent behaviour is unsatisfactory: it is fragmented; contains ambiguities; and is generally under-specified. We provide a formal concurrent specification of POSIX file systems and demonstrate scalable reasoning for clients. Our specification is based on a concurrent specification language, which uses a modern concurrent separation logic for reasoning about abstract atomic operations, and an associated refinement calculus. Our reasoning about clients highlights an important difference between reasoning about modules built over a heap, where the interference on the shared state is restricted to the operations of the module, and modules built over a file system, where the interference cannot be restricted as the file system is a public namespace. We introduce specifications conditional on context invariants used to restrict the interference, and apply our reasoning to lock files and named pipes. Program reasoning based on separation logic has been successful at verifying that programs do not crash due to illegal use of resources, such invalid memory accesses. The underlying assumption of separation logics, however, is that machines do not fail. In practice, machines can fail unpredictably for various reasons, such as power loss, corrupting resources or resulting in permanent data loss. Critical software, such as file systems and databases, employ recovery methods to mitigate these effects. We introduce an extension of the Views framework to reason about programs in the presence of such events and their associated recovery methods. We use concurrent separation logic as an instance of the framework to illustrate our reasoning, and explore programs using write-ahead logging, such a stylised ARIES recovery algorithm.
Heterogeneous catalysts for the alkylation of amines using alcohols
Creators: name: Tallon, Luka
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This PhD thesis describes the Au-catalysed alkylation of amines using alcohols (AAA). The work was broadly divided into two parts: (i) developing mechanistic and kinetic models for the reaction; and (ii) further catalyst development. The introductory Chapter provides and overview of reported homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for the AAA reaction, with a comparison of their scope and limitations. Chapter 2 begins with a summary of a previously reported mechanistic model using Au/TiO2 to catalyse the model reaction of aniline with benzyl alcohol in flow. The Chapter proceeds by comparing the effects of O2 and the use of different H2O concentrations when performing the model reaction. Additionally, the stability and possible deactivation routes of the catalyst is interrogated. In Chapter 3, the results from the mechanistic studies are used to further develop the previously reported kinetic model. The effects of using different preparation techniques and supports on the catalyst structure and activity of Au/TiO2 are detailed in Chapter 4 and 5, respectively. Chapter 6 presents the activities of different metal catalysts for the model reaction. Chapter 7 contains experimental procedures for reactions and catalyst preparation methods.
The effects of amino acids on gut hormone release and appetite

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Obesity is a major health concern and a public health burden. Current pharmacological treatments have limited efficacy and are associated with significant side effects. Diets and life style changes remain the most effective strategy for treatment of obesity, but are often difficult to adhere to. High protein diets are among the most satiating diets, associated with the greatest satiety and weight loss, and with better weight management. The exact mechanisms by which high protein diets exert their effects are unclear. However, evidence suggests that amino acids produced as a result of protein digestion may play a role in appetite regulation and satiety. Preliminary studies within our group demonstrated that specific amino acids can reduce food intake in rodents. The work carried out in this thesis examined the effect of the amino acids L-arginine and L-phenylalanine on appetite and explored the potential mechanisms by which these effects are mediated. In addition, the thesis investigated the effect of microencapsulation of these amino acids on their ability to suppress appetite. Oral gavage of L-arginine significantly reduced food intake in mice and rats. This effect was not associated with any abnormal behavioural side effects. L-arginine significantly stimulated GLP-1 and PYY release from a murine primary intestinal culture, and oral L-arginine also significantly elevated plasma GLP-1 and PYY in rats. However, the anorectic effect of L-arginine appears unlikely to be mediated by changes in these gut hormones. L-arginine significantly reduced food intake in GPRC6A knockout and wild-type mice, suggesting its anorectic effect is not mediated by GPRC6A. Oral gavage of L-phenylalanine significantly reduced food intake in mice and rats. Oral administration of L-phenylalanine also elevated circulating GLP-1 and PYY levels and suppressed plasma ghrelin levels in rats. Direct ileal administration of L-phenylalanine reduced food intake in rats, and this effect was blocked by a calcium sensing receptor antagonist. Chronic administration of L-phenylalanine also reduced food intake and body weight in diet-induced obese mice. Encapsulated L-arginine and L-phenylalanine reduced food intake in rats. Specific encapsulation processes appeared to delay the anorectic effect of these amino acids. However, there was no significant difference in the magnitude of response compared to the un-encapsulated forms. Encapsulation may be a viable approach to facilitate targeted delivery of the amino acids in the gastrointestinal tract, but further matrix optimization is required to improve the controlled release of the amino acids in the gut. These studies demonstrate the anorectic properties of L-arginine and L-phenylalanine, and contribute to the current understanding of amino acid sensing in the gut. Further studies are now required to determine the therapeutic potential of specific amino acids as novel treatments for obesity.

Conjugated porphyrin dimers as probes of microviscosity
Creators: name: Qurashi, Maryam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The cell membrane is a recent target for the imaging and quantification of viscosity in light of evidence which suggests that abnormal membrane behaviour is related to various disease states. We propose the use of a novel technique involving a class of compounds termed ‘molecular rotors’, which can image cellular viscosity with high spatial and temporal resolution. This Thesis concerns one type of molecular rotors, conjugated porphyrin dimers, which have dual functionality: as viscosity sensors and as photosensitizers for photoinduced cell death during Photodynamic Therapy of cancer (PDT). First, we consider the photophysics of several conjugated dimers bearing various substituents and assess the effect of various parameters on dimer’s intermolecular rotation. We find that the photophysical properties of most dimers are primarily sensitive to the viscosity of their environment and are minimally sensitive to temperature and solution polarity. Secondly, using polymer solutions and melts, we establish the physical origin of the porphyrin dimer’s viscosity sensitivity as detection of solvent ‘free volume’, which is related to both macromolecular crowding and solvent hydrodynamic pressure. Thirdly, we establish conditions for the inclusion of a porphyrin dimer into model lipid membranes; demonstrating the detection of lipid phase as a function of temperature, sensitivity to free-volume occupancy of lipid tails according to saturation, and finally reporting viscosity values in close agreement with those from literature obtained using alternative methods. Finally we find that under conditions of imaging using fluorescence microscopy, the porphyrin dimer has compromised fluorescence signal due to limitations of solubility during sample preparation. However, by combining the detection from a poprhyrin dimer and a well-known molecular rotor BODIPY-C10 we were able to detect a viscosity increase in unsaturated lipid membranes upon increased exposure to light, replicating conditions of singlet oxygen production during PDT.

description: The ongoing improvements of the advanced gravitational wave (GW) detectors are setting challenging requirements on instrument calibration. We report tests of a calibration technique, based on the well-known gravitation force, which has been applied for the first time on a large interferometer. The results obtained with Advanced Virgo are in good agreement with the predictions and with the usual calibration method. This technique is expected to lead to accurate absolute calibration at the sub-percent level in the coming years, matching the needs of the blooming GW science.

description: We have made a likelihood statistical analysis of the angular correlations in the {\it COBE}-DMR two-year sky maps by Monte Carlo simulation of the temperature fluctuations. We assume an open universe and consider as primordial power spectrum the Harrison-Zeldovich one, $P(k)=Ak$. We find that the flatness of the universe is not implied by the data. The quadrupole normalization amplitude, $Q_{rms-PS}$, is related to the density parameter, $Ω$, by $Q_{rms-PS} = 10.67 + 55.81 Ω- 128.59 Ω^2 + 81.26 Ω^3\ μ$K. We have determined the p.d.f. of $Ω$ due to cosmic plus sampling (i.e. $20^\circ$ galactic cut) variance which generically shows a bimodal shape. The uncertainty as given by the r.m.s. is $\approx 0.35$, therefore to better constrain $Ω$ experiments sensitive to higher multipoles ($l>20$) should be considered.

Glucagon and GLP-1 receptor dual agonism: a therapeutic approach for the treatment of obesity
Creators: name: Cegla, Jaimini
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Obesity is a growing global epidemic and current medical therapies have proven inadequate. Endogenous satiety hormones provide an attractive target for the development of drugs which aim to cause effective weight loss with minimal side effects. Two related peptide hormones, glucagon and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), are the subject of this thesis. Both have been found to reduce appetite and cause weight loss. Additionally, glucagon increases energy expenditure. GLP-1 also improves glucose homeostasis, whereas glucagon causes undesirable hyperglycaemia. It is proposed that co-administration of both peptides will have an additive effect on appetite reduction, while GLP-1 will protect against the hyperglycaemic effect of glucagon. In this thesis, I have investigated the effects of co-administration of glucagon and GLP-1 on energy balance. Co-infusion of glucagon and GLP-1 in humans reduces food intake, increases energy expenditure and improves glucose homeostasis. This supports the notion that dual agonism at the glucagon and GLP-1 receptors is a rational approach to the development of a new therapy for obesity and diabetes. To further understand the cellular mechanisms by which glucagon activates the glucagon receptor, I have investigated the interaction of the glucagon receptor with RAMP2, a member of the family of Receptor Activity Modifying Proteins. This work suggests that RAMP2 interacts with the glucagon receptor modifying the agonist activity of glucagon, GLP-1 and related peptides. This work improves our fundamental understanding of the glucagon receptor’s physiological function and how this is modified by RAMP2. It could potentially suggest new therapeutic avenues for obesity and diabetes. For example, it may inform the construction of new peptide analogues with selective agonist activities, incorporating therapeutically desirable properties such as appetite suppression and increase in energy expenditure, without undesired properties such as increasing hepatic glucose output and provoking hyperglycaemia.

description: We present 12CO 1-0 observations of eleven low luminosity M_B > -18), HI--rich dwarf galaxies. Only the three most metal-rich galaxies, with 12+log(O/H) ~ 8.2, are detected. Very deep CO spectra of six extremely metal-poor systems (12+log(O/H) < 7.5) yield only low upper limits on the CO surface brightness, I_CO < 0.1 K km/s. Three of these six have never before been observed in a CO line, while the others now have much more stringent upper limits. For the very low metallicity galaxy Leo A, we do not confirm a previously reported detection in CO, and the limits are consistent with another recent nondetection. We combine these new observations with data from the literature to form a sample of dwarf galaxies which all have CO observations and measured oxygen abundances. No known galaxies with 12+log(O/H) < 7.9 (Z < 0.1 solar) have been detected in CO. Most of the star-forming galaxies with higher (12+log(O/H) > 8.1) metallicities are detected at similar or higher I_CO surface brightnesses. The data are consistent with a strong dependence of the I_CO/M_H_2 = X_CO conversion factor on ambient metallicity. The strikingly low upper limits on some metal-poor galaxies lead us to predict that the conversion factor is non-linear, increasing sharply below approximately 1/10 of the solar metallicity (12+log(O/H) < 7.9).

The intention of the SUEEC was to spotlight emerging trends and transitions in the higher education experiential learning domain and the intersections thereof with social justice and the formation of the global citizen leader. To accomplish the above entailed inviting world renown keynote speakers and subject matter experts, and to call for abstracts, master classesand exemplars (examples of best practice in experiential education).

Regulation of junction configuration by cell tension
Creators: name: Sri Ranjan, Kyasha

description: The maintenance of cell-cell contacts is essential for tissue cohesion and a variety of different physiological processes in morphogenesis and homeostasis. Adherens junctions are protein complexes that mediate cell-cell contacts in epithelial cells and E-cadherin receptors are their main component. During junction formation, thin bundles of actin localise towards cell-cell contacts in the characteristic cytoskeletal organization of epithelia. Tension at the underlying cortex and thin bundle compaction help form tight, straight junctions and maintain cadherin receptors in place. However, how these epithelia-specific structures are formed and remodelled lacks in-depth understanding. In this study, I have addressed how contractile forces modulate junction configuration and molecular composition (adhesion receptors and actin cytoskeleton). Micropatterning was used to precisely confine the geometry of cells, control cortical forces and provide a permissive, simplistic way in which cells are allowed to interact. Three different shapes, namely squares, triangles and circles were patterned to study biophysical and junction properties. Although the average cell heights and volumes are similar between different geometries, cortical stiffness (i.e. Young’s modulus) is two-fold higher in cells grown in geometries that impose higher contractility: squares and triangles. Doublets seeded on these shapes also position their nuclei further apart and exhibit preferences in junction orientation. A majority of cells cultured on triangular and square geometries have shorter and straighter junctions with a clear presence of thin bundles parallel to the cell-cell interface. Localisation of phosphorylated myosin light chain to thin bundles reinforce the notion that these are the main contractile pool instead of the junctional actin at contacts. Counter-intuitively, E-cadherin and F-actin density are also reduced with increased contractility and tension. Taken together, higher levels of contractility and cortical tension imposed by the square and triangle geometric shapes, are necessary to properly generate the epithelial cellular architecture, configuration of junctions and their molecular makeup. This suggests that tensional constraints play an important role in regulating the stability of junctions and the organization of underlying actin filaments that support the characteristic epithelial cell shape.

description: Normed division rings are reviewed in the more general framework of composition algebras that include the split (indefinite metric) case. The Jordan - von Neumann - Wigner classification of finite dimensional Jordan algebras is outlined with special attention to the 27 dimensional exceptional Jordan algebra J. The automorphism group F_4 of J and its maximal Borel - de Siebenthal subgroups are studied in detail and applied to the classification of fundamental fermions and gauge bosons. Their intersection in F_4 is demonstrated to coincide with the gauge group of the Standard Model of particle physics. The first generation's fundamental fermions form a basis of primitive idempotents in the euclidean extension of the Jordan subalgebra JSpin_9 of J.

Data-driven software performance engineering: models and estimation algorithms
Creators: name: Wang, Weikun
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The accurate performance measurement of computer applications is critical for service providers. For these providers, to ensure that the performance constraints signed by users can be respected, software performance models are used to provide quantitative predictions and evaluation of the applications such that timely adjustment of the architecture and fine tuning of the configurations can be achieved. For effective use of performance models in performance engineering, the fundamental problem is to assign realistic parameters to the models. In addition, the complexity of real-world application leads to dynamic behavior, caused by parallel computations with multiple CPUs or caching and shared data structures, which is challenging to capture for performance models to capture. Characterizing these changing effects, also known as load-dependent or queue-dependent application behaviors, is necessary for accurate prediction and evaluation of application performance. To enhance the model tractability and applicability, in this thesis we develop efficient algorithms to estimate the parameters of closed queueing networks, especially the resource demand of requests. To efficiently estimate these parameters, we introduce two classes of algorithms based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) techniques. In particular, the MLE based approach can be generalized to load-dependent queueing networks, enhancing the applicability of the models. Moreover, we set out to resolve the problem of efficiently evaluating load-dependent and queue-dependent closed queueing network models. The complication of load-dependent or queue-dependent behavior makes the models challenging to analyze, a fact that discourages practitioners from characterizing workload dependencies. To solve this problem, we develop an algorithm for evaluating the performance of queue-dependent product-form closed queueing network. Our approach is based on approximate mean value analysis (AMVA) and is shown to be efficient, robust and easy to apply, thus enhancing the tractability of queue-dependent models.

description: We provide a holographic perspective on correlation functions in Schwarzian quantum mechanics, as boundary-anchored Wilson line correlators in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We first study compact groups and identify the diagrammatic representation of bilocal correlators of the particle-on-a-group model as Wilson line correlators in its 2d holographic BF description. We generalize to the Hamiltonian reduction of SL(2,R) and derive the Schwarzian correlation functions. Out-of-time ordered correlators are determined by crossing Wilson lines, giving a 6j-symbol, in agreement with 2d CFT results.

description: The historical, hydrodynamic, and sedimentological development of Inner Middle Ground - Nine Foot Shoal indicates that it is presently in quasi-equilibrium with mutually evasive ebb and flood tidal currents. Bathymetric comparisons among six surveys taken during the past 122 years depict development of the shoal from two linear sand bodies to its present double parabolic morphology. Circulation paths are proposed for each survey.

Information from eight current meter stations on and adjacent to Inner Middle Ground - Nine Foot Shoal were used to determine near-surface and near-bottom tidal current asymmetries and directions. The concepts of bathymetrically diverted currents and mutual evasion are well illustrated. Pseudo-synoptic vertical velocity profiles were drawn from which boundary shear stress and sediment transport were calculated. Determined sediment transport paths were in close agreement with proposed paths.

Cluster analysis was employed to determine the optimum natural grouping of the sediments over Inner Middle Ground - Nine Foot Shoal. This categorization, based on the weight percent of material from each 1/4 ϕ sieve fraction, was found to be in agreement with determined and proposed sediment transport paths. The procedure of differentiating the sediments into geographically intact groups is objective. Neither arbitrary limits nor a priori knowledge were required. The groups found are sedimentologically significant.
