description: We present radial velocities for approximately 40 stars in each of three optically obscured, off-axis, fields toward the Galactic bulge. Combined with the data presented by Blum et al. (1994), we now have mean radial velocities and radial velocity dispersions in four fields towards the Galactic bulge. These four fields lie nearly along an axis whose position angle from the major axis of the Galaxy is 55°. The observed kinematics generally match both Kent's (1992) axisymmetric and Zhao's (1994) barred dynamical model predictions, but are marginally better described by the latter. The velocity dispersion in our innermost field is high, 153 $\pm$ 17 \kms. Our data, combined with that from previous studies at larger radii, suggest that the stellar velocity dispersion is flat or still rising at projected radius R \aple 150 pc.

Investigation of intrinsic defects and versatility of Zn-doping in SnO2 thin films using pulsed laser deposition
Creators: name: Porte, Yoann Bernard Henri
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: n-type transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) have been studied extensively and are now commercially available. The development of p-type counterparts lags someway behind, despite the opportunity preparing such materials offers. Interest in tin oxide (SnO2) thin films and their applications has grown significantly over recent years, particularly for the preparation of p-type TCOs. However for this to be realised, limitations such as the ionisation energy of acceptor defects and the existence of compensating mechanisms must be overcome. Even though the effectiveness of acceptor doping is essential, the presence of compensating defects as the film growth environment changes is critical for stable p-type TCOs. Here a growth study of SnO2 deposited using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) reveals intrinsic acceptor defects have limited contribution to the conductivity as theoretically predicted. The conductivity remains n-type despite significant variation in the oxygen content of the growth environment and temperature - which is attributed to the large concentration of tin interstitial defects. To limit donor defect concentration, elevated temperature and oxygen pressure were set as the growth conditions with the introduction of Zn as an acceptor dopant. Here, the introduction of Zn acceptors changes the behaviour of intrinsic defects such that measured charge carrier concentrations increase by some 3-orders of magnitude compared with undoped films, suggesting the presence of compensating mechanisms. n-type behaviour persists, even after oxygen annealing, and film resistivity also increases. This is attributed to the formation more acceptor defects that act as electron compensation centres. Zn is reported to act not only as an acceptor in SnO2 but also to enhance n-type conductivity: here this behaviour is also confirmed. By studying the electrical, optical and structural properties of Zn doped SnO2, films of surprisingly low resistivity (2.9 x10-3 Ω.cm) were formed, which exhibited preferential (200) on Zn addition. An observed decrease in bandgap was found when Zn doping was increased, from 3.6 eV in undoped films down to 3.4 eV in crystalline films and 3.2 eV in amorphous films. The work is concluded by investigating low deposition temperature where low resistivity highly transparent films are formed at temperatures as low as 100 degree celcius.

description: A geomorphological cartography of the Cafayate depression (NW Argentina) at a scale of 1:20,000 is presented. The Main Map was made with satellite images from 2009 to 2016 and aerial photographs from various dates. The area was classified into three categories of geomorphological dynamics according the type of fluvio-aeolian interaction. Anastomosing channels and crevasse splays are dominant in the southern section of the Santa María River, while meandering channels develop in the northern section. Extensive dune fields interacting with fluvial deposits have developed in the central sector of the depression. The Main Map also reflects the main human features and can be used as a tool for preparing hazard maps.

Mechanistic studies on Zymogen-activator and adhesion proteins (ZAAPs) as thrombolytic drugs and bacterial virulence factors
Creators: name: Huish, Sian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Streptokinase (SK), expressed by Lancefield Group A, C and G β-haemolytic Streptococci and Staphylocoagulase (SCG), expressed by S. aureus, are bacterial virulence factors which belong to a family of proteins known as Zymogen-activator and adhesion proteins (ZAAPs). SK and SCG are responsible for the non-proteolytic activation of plasminogen and prothrombin, respectively. Understanding of SK activity is exclusively based on the Group C (GCS) S. equisimilis H46a SK, a ‘clot buster’ or thrombolytic used in the treatment of Myocardial Infarction (MI), which exhibits no fibrin specificity. SK is the most used thrombolytic worldwide. Here, detailed kinetic studies in purified assay systems explored the mechanistic variation between a recombinant H46a SK (rSK H46a) and a Group A Streptococcal SK (M1GAS), most typically isolated in invasive human infection. This work demonstrates a fibrin specific mechanism for M1GAS SK and proposes a kinetic model for M1GAS SK plasminogen activation, to compliment the “Trigger and Bullet” hypothesis for H46a SK by Bock and colleagues. This work has relevance to the use of SK variants, with enhanced fibrin specificity, for improvement of thrombolytic therapies. Cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infaraction and ischaemic stroke are significant casues of mortality, particularly in the developing world. Access to Alteplase, an expensive recombinant tPA and the only licensed treatment for stroke, is limited and there is interest in the use of SK for this purpose. Furthermore, microbial resistance is an increasing health burden, as demonstrated by programs such as the Longitude prize. Exploring the mechanisms of bacterial virulence factors at the molecular level such as this could provide rationale for the development of much-needed new antimicrobial technologies.

description: We present a prescription in F-theory for realizing matter in "exotic" representations of product gauge groups. For 6D vacua, bifundamental hypermultiplets are engineered by starting at a singular point in moduli space which includes 6D superconformal field theories coupled to gravity. A deformation in Higgs branch moduli space takes us to a weakly coupled gauge theory description. In the corresponding elliptically fibered Calabi--Yau threefold, the minimal Weierstrass model parameters $(f,g,Δ)$ vanish at collisions of the discriminant at least to order $(4,6,12)$, but with sufficiently high order of tangency to ensure the existence of T-brane deformations to a weakly coupled gauge theory with exotic bifundamentals. We present explicit examples including bifundamental hypermultiplets of $\mathfrak{e}_7 \times \mathfrak{su}_2$ and $\mathfrak{e}_6 \times \mathfrak{su}_3$, each of which have dual heterotic orbifold descriptions. Geometrically, these matter fields are delocalized across multiple points of an F-theory geometry. Symmetry breaking with such representations can be used to produce high dimension representations of simple gauge groups such as the four-index symmetric representation of $\mathfrak{su}_2$ and the three-index symmetric representation of $\mathfrak{su}_3$, and after further higgsing can yield discrete non-abelian symmetries.

Gravothermal Catastrophe in Anisotropic Spherical Systems

description: In this paper we investigate the gravothermal instability of spherical stellar systems endowed with a radially anisotropic velocity distribution. We focus our attention on the effects of anisotropy on the conditions for the onset of the instability and in particular we study the dependence of the spatial structure of critical models on the amount of anisotropy present in a system. The investigation has been carried out by the method of linear series which has already been used in the past to study the gravothermal instability of isotropic systems. We consider models described by King, Wilson and Woolley-Dickens distribution functions. In the case of King and Woolley-Dickens models, our results show that, for quite a wide range of amount of anisotropy in the system, the critical value of the concentration of the system (defined as the ratio of the tidal to the King core radius of the system) is approximately constant and equal to the corresponding value for isotropic systems. Only for very anisotropic systems the critical value of the concentration starts to change and it decreases significantly as the anisotropy increases and penetrates the inner parts of the system. For Wilson models the decrease of the concentration of critical models is preceded by an intermediate regime in which critical concentration increases, it reaches a maximum and then it starts to decrease. The critical value of the central potential always decreases as the anisotropy increases.

description: A new water-soluble platinum(II) complex, [Pt(CEX)Cl(DMSO)]Cl (CEX is cephalexin), was synthesized and characterized by physicochemical, spectroscopic, and computational methods. Multispectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the interaction of Pt(II) complex with human serum albumin (HSA) under the physiological conditions. The results of fluorescence titration indicated that the binding of the Pt(II) complex to HSA induced fluorescence quenching through static quenching mechanism with binding constant of 1.24 × 104 M−1 at 298 K. The thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures indicated that van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic forces play major roles in the stability of Pt(II) complex–HSA association. The displacement experiments using the site probes warfarin and ibuprofen substantiated that Pt(II) complex could bind to both site I and II of HSA. Furthermore, UV–Vis and fluorescence spectra were used to investigate the conformational changes of HSA molecule with the addition of Pt(II) complex. The binding constant of Pt(II) complex is more than two orders of magnitude higher than the corresponding value of cephalexin. These results indicate that the binding affinity of Pt(II) complex is stronger than the free drug. In addition, the antibacterial study showed that the MIC of platinum complex of cephalexin for variety of organisms was lower than free cephalexin.

Transformation optics: a tool to reveal and make use of symmetries in plasmonics
Creators: name: Kraft, Matthias
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Symmetries are omnipresent in physics. From classical mechanics, via solid state physics to particle physics, symmetries provide a means for classification and often lead to deep physical insight. In this thesis, we study symmetries in plasmonics using Transformation optics. We show how Transformation optics can be used to reveal, study and make us of symmetries in practical calculations, by studying a range of plasmonic systems. First, we show that an ellipse and spheroids possess a `hidden' rotational symmetry that becomes apparent when transforming them to a rotationally symmetric structure. Next, we investigate plasmonic gratings and show that a whole class of plasmonic gratings (and other periodic structures) can be related to a translationally invariant slab, thereby inheriting all the slabs spectral properties. In studying the plasmonic grating, we extend the Transformation optics approach to treat periodic systems with extent larger than the wavelength in one direction. Finally, we use Transformation optics to study electron energy loss spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence problems in plasmonics, by mapping the plasmonic nanoparticles under investigation to more symmetric ones. Thus, again using the symmetry of the transformed structures to derive analytical solutions to the problem at hand.

description: Background: An outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in China has influenced every aspect of life. Healthcare professionals, especially dentists, are exposed to a higher risk of getting infected due to close contact with infected patients. Despite having a high standard of knowledge and practice, dental practitioners around the globe are in a state of anxiety and fear while working in their respective fields due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact on humanity. A number of dentist’s have either modified their services according to the recommended guidelines to emergency treatment only or closed down practices for an uncertain period to decrease the risk of getting infected from patients and potentially spread it to their peers, families and other patients. Aim: This review aims at narrating some of the practically implementable SOP’s (standard operating procedures) into the dental practice during this pandemic era along with a guidance in a holistic approach. Methodology: Literature search was done using key words, followed by inclusions and exclusions. Results: Based on the literature search and the author’s experience, a working classification was made for ease in compilation and perseverance of data. Conclusion: Dental practices need to review their infection control policies, engineering controls, and supplies. Health care providers must keep themselves up?to-date about this evolving disease and allow dental care to be provided while mitigating the spread of this novel infection. Also personal care is very much essential for a dentist in this pandemic era.

description: A stellar population synthesis model, suitable for comparison with Giant Extragalactic HII Regions (GEHRs), is constructed incorporating the recent developments in modelling stellar evolution by Maeder and co-workers and stellar atmospheres by Kurucz. A number of quantities suitable for comparison with broad band data of GEHRs in visible and near infrared parts of the spectrum are synthesized in addition to the hydrogen and helium ionizing photon production rates at solar metallicities, for three scenarios of star formation --- (i) Instantaneous burst (IB) (ii) Continuous star formation (CSF) and (iii) Two bursts of star formation, with the older burst rich in red supergiants. For IB case, evolution of colors shows three distinct phases --- an initial steady blue phase, followed by a red bump (5--15~Myr) and another steady phase with colors intermediate to the earlier two phases. CSF colors asymptotically reach peak values at $\sim 10$~Myr, never reaching the reddest IB colors. Ionizing photon production rate falls off by an order of magnitude in 6~Myr for IB, where as it almost remains constant for CSF model. Two-burst models with burst separations $\sim 10$~Myr have properties of both IB and CSF, simultaneously producing the red IB colors and high ionizing photon rate, making such regions easily distinguishable using optical observations. Flat IMFs result in bluest colors when the massive stars are on the main sequence and reddest colors during the red supergiant phase of the evolving massive stars. Errors on the computed quantities due to the statistical uncertainties inherent in the process of star formation become negligible for cluster masses in excess of $10^5$\,\msun.

Effective topological bounds and semiampleness questions
Creators: name: Martinelli, Diletta
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: In this thesis we address several questions related to important conjectures in birational geometry. In the first two chapters we prove that it is possible to bound the number of minimal models of a smooth threefold of general type depending on the topology of the underlying complex manifold. Moreover, under some technical assumptions, we provide some explicit bounds and we explain the relationship with the effective version of the finite generation of the canonical ring. Then we prove the existence of rational curves on certain type of fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds. Finally, in the last chapter we move to birational geometry in positive characteristic and we prove the Base point free Theorem for a three dimensional log canonical pair over the algebraic closure of a finite field.
Combining quantitative and qualitative aspects of problem structuring in computational morphological analysis
Creators: name: Garvey, Bruce
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Morphological Analysis (MA) is a problem-structuring method that defines a problem as a set of key parameters, especially under conditions of uncertainty and complexity. Each parameter is broken down into a set of discrete states or dimensions, being qualitative or quantitative in nature. The scale of the problem is represented as a product of all the selected parameters and their individual states expressed as a total number of configurations. This is the problem space. Configurations where each state within a parameter is deemed consistent with every other state across the other parameters are identified and isolated. This is called the solution space. MA’s uptake has been patchy, and latterly overlooked mainly due to the user experience being compromised by three interrelated factors: poor access to support software which can address the combinatorial explosion generated by multi-parameter problem spaces inherent in the use of MA; insufficiently flexible processes that address users’ operational constraints; seen to be overly generic, disguising identification of specific application areas of interest. The main research aim in this thesis is to address these constraints. Action Research was used to develop a viable prototype, and beyond, making the product robust enough for commercially viability. The prototype combined algorithms and internal databases with cross-platform accessibility – an innovation complemented by improved processes to enhance user friendliness whilst maintaining methodological integrity. New research areas, including the latest incarnation of MA, are presented with particular emphasis in the areas of ideation, technological creativity and innovation. A company has been established to exploit the technology, with NATO purchasing a licence. With a paucity of in-depth literature on the method combined with little evidence of demonstrable outcomes the thesis is one of a handful of dedicated publications in the last 40 years thus providing a major contribution to the understanding of “Zwickian” Morphological Analysis.

description: A library of 211 echelle spectra taken with ELODIE at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence is presented. It provides a set of spectroscopic standards covering the full range of gravities and metallicities in the effective temperature interval [4000 K, 6300 K]. The spectra are straightened, wavelength calibrated, cleaned of cosmic ray hits, bad pixels and telluric lines. They cover the spectral range [440 nm, 680 nm] with an instrumental resolution of 42000. For each star, basic data were compiled from the Hipparcos catalogue and the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. Radial velocities with a precision better than 100 m/s are given. Atmospheric parameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H]) from the literature are discussed. Because of scattered determinations in the bibliography, even for the most well-known stars, these parameters were adjusted by an iterative process which takes account of common or different spectral features between the standards, using our homogeneous set of spectra. Revised values of (Teff, log g, [Fe/H]) are proposed. They are still consistent with the literature, and also lead to the self-consistency of the library, in the sense that similar spectra have similar atmospheric parameters. This adjustment was performed by using step by step a method based on the least square comparison of carefully prepared spectra, which was originally developed for the on-line estimation of the atmospheric parameters of faint field stars (companion paper in the main journal). The spectra and corresponding data will only be available in electronic form at the CDS (ftp cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html).

Phenotypic variability, cell size and population fitness

description: In all biological systems, phenotypes are quantitative measures of an organism’s traits. To understand the relation between a genotype and phenotypes, the influence of genetic perturbations, such as gene deletions, on phenotypes is studied. Although it is common practice to look at the mean value of phenotypes to detect changes, it is less common to model such modifications by considering phenotypic variability. However, phenotypic variability could also contain important information about the phenotype-genotype map. Also, phenotypic variability is a determinant of an organism’s robustness and fitness. This thesis is a collection of five studies devised to identify and analyse phenotypic variability in S. pombe, S. cerevisiae and E. coli. The first chapter determines the probabilistic nature of the dynamic transition from quiescence to proliferation in S. pombe. Based on the viability and the random nature of the quiescence of knockout genes, we demonstrate that two competing stochastic models explain the data equally well. The second and third chapters provide novel approaches to identifying mutant genes that increase/decrease phenotypic variability throughout the cell cycle of S. cerevisiae. Using machine learning algorithms, we observe that mutants divide in four categories acting positively and/or negatively on phenotypic variability. Additionally, we show that phenotypic robustness is inversely related to cell fitness. The fourth chapter builds morphological interaction networks in S. cerevisiae. By employing a Bayesian network framework, we show that cell size dictates nuclear size throughout most of the cell cycle. The fifth chapter investigates the growth rate of bacterial populations subject to fluctuations in the variance of their cell size distributions. By employing a population balance equation combined with an agent-based model, our results indicate that the cell size distribution affects the growth rate. Moreover, we show that cells possess a cell size regulator within their cycle.

description: In this paper, by considering a simple fluid model, we investigate the role of phase transitions in the ISM on the galaxy scale gas dynamics. Cooling and heating timescales in the ISM are typically shorter than typical galactic rotation timescales, so the individual phases in the ISM can be assumed to be in temperature equilibrium with the radiation field. Using this approximation we can construct an equation of state which depends upon the average density and mass fractions in the individual phases. Previous studies suggest that there is an equilibrium phase fraction as a function of pressure. We incorporate evolution towards this equilibrium state as a relaxation term with a time to obtain equilibrium $τ$. We derive a condition in terms of a critical Mach number when one dimensional shocks should be continuous. For small values of the relaxation time $τ$ we show that the relaxation term acts like a viscosity. We show with one dimensional simulations that increasing $τ$ causes shocks to become smoother. This work suggests that phase changes can strongly effect the gas dynamics of the ISM across spiral arms and bars.

description: We describe an algorithm to compute the zeta function of a cyclic cover of the projective line over a finite field of characteristic $p$ that runs in time $p^{1/2 + o(1)}$. We confirm its practicality and effectiveness by reporting on the performance of our SageMath implementation on a range of examples. The algorithm relies on Gonçalves's generalization of Kedlaya's algorithm for cyclic covers, and Harvey's work on Kedlaya's algorithm for large characteristic.

description: Η Οικοφυσιολογία Φυτών (Plant Ecophysiology) ασχολείται, όπως υποδηλώνει το όνομά της (από τις λέξεις οίκος και φυσιολογία), με την περιβαλλοντική φυσιολογία φυτών, προσπαθώντας να αναγνωρίσει την επίδραση που άσκησε και ασκεί το περιβάλλον στη ζωή των φυτών.
Η Οικοφυσιολογία Φυτών, η οποία αποτελεί ακαδημαϊκή εξειδίκευση σε πολλά Πανεπιστήμια, μελετά την αλληλεπίδραση των φυτικών λειτουργιών με το περιβάλλον, και τους προσαρμοστικούς μηχανισμούς των ανώτερων φυτών στο βιοτικό και το αβιοτικό περιβάλλον, όσον αφορά την εγκατάσταση, την ανάπτυξη, την αναπαραγωγή και την κατανομή τους. Η μελέτη γίνεται συνήθως σε διάφορα επίπεδα οργάνωσης, συνδυάζοντας παρατήρηση, μετρήσεις και συλλογή υλικού από το ύπαιθρο με ενδελεχή έρευνα στο εργαστήριο.
Σε έναν κόσμο που αλλάζει, το αναζωπυρούμενο ενδιαφέρον για τα φυτά και ιδίως για θέματα βιοποικιλότητας, αποκαλύπτει –με τη συμβολή της Οικοφυσιολογίας Φυτών– την άγνωστη (μέχρι πρότινος) ικανότητα ενός φυτού να αποκριθεί σε δυσμενείς περιβαλλοντικές συνθήκες, όπως για παράδειγμα η παρατεταμένη ξηρασία στη Μεσογειακή Λεκάνη.

description: Thermal reactions of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Ru(III) metal ions with a novel Schiff base ligand (HL) derived from the condensation of 2-aminothiazole and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde resulted in the formation of a series of metal complexes, [Co(L)2(H2O)2]·2H2O (1), [Ni(L)(CH3COO)(H2O)2] (2), [Cu(L)2(H2O)2] (3), [Zn(L)2] (4), [Cd(L)(CH3COO)]·2H2O (5), and [Ru(L)2(H2O)2]Cl (6). The ligand and its complexes were characterized by means of elemental and thermal analyses, molar conductance, and magnetic moment measurements along with different spectroscopic techniques. The structure of the ligand was determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis and revealed that it crystallized in the orthorhombic space group P21cn with a Z value of 4. Theoretical calculations based on accurate DFT approximations were used to verify the structures of ligand and complexes. The relative reactivities were estimated using chemical descriptors analysis. The biological activities of the compounds were examined. The antioxidant activity against DPPH radical was evaluated in vitro by using spectrophotometric methods; the experiments showed potent antioxidant activity. Also, the interaction of the reported compounds with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) by different techniques revealed that the complexes could bind to CT-DNA by intercalative mode.

The Meniscus on the Outside of a Circular Cylinder: from Microscopic to Macroscopic Scales

description: We systematically study the meniscus on the outside of a small circular cylinder vertically immersed in a liquid bath in a cylindrical container that is coaxial with the cylinder. The cylinder has a radius $R$ much smaller than the capillary length, $κ^{-1}$, and the container radius, $L$, is varied from a small value comparable to $R$ to $\infty$. In the limit of $L \ll κ^{-1}$, we analytically solve the general Young-Laplace equation governing the meniscus profile and show that the meniscus height, $Δh$, scales approximately with $R\ln (L/R)$. In the opposite limit where $L \gg κ^{-1}$, $Δh$ becomes independent of $L$ and scales with $R\ln (κ^{-1}/R)$. We implement a numerical scheme to solve the general Young-Laplace equation for an arbitrary $L$ and demonstrate the crossover of the meniscus profile between these two limits. The crossover region has been determined to be roughly $0.4κ^{-1} \lesssim L \lesssim 4κ^{-1}$. An approximate analytical expression has been found for $Δh$, enabling its accurate prediction at any values of $L$ that ranges from microscopic to macroscopic scales.
