Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of the carotid arterial wall
Creators: name: Rose, Kathleen Anne Maricela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Background Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of death [Lloyd-Jones 2009; Murray 1997] involving inflammatory processes throughout [Libby 2002]. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence is increased in generalised inflammatory conditions [Esdaile 2001; Watson 2003; Rosenfeld 2011; Triant 2012]. However, the presence and burden of atherosclerosis in groups with such conditions but low traditional cardiovascular risk is unclear. The means to reduce cardiovascular risk in individuals without conventional modifiable risk factors remains unknown. Carotid arterial wall imaging allows assessment of atheroma burden and the effects of treatments to reduce it. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is non-invasive, radiation-free, and allows volumetric measures to be obtained. Methods and Results Using previously validated carotid CMR imaging techniques we undertook a series of studies in two conditions associated with inflammation and increased CVD: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and HIV. We recruited SLE patients with LDL-cholesterol <3.4mmol/L into a 2-year placebo-controlled trial of rosuvastatin and evaluated vascular effects: no benefit from statin therapy on carotid arterial parameters was seen (Chapter 9). We combined baseline findings with results from a pilot study to further investigate the extent of CVD in SLE, demonstrating an excess of subclinical atherosclerosis (Chapter 8). In HIV, we investigated two cohorts using CMR: a group with adult-acquired HIV-infection that revealed evidence of early subclinical atherosclerosis (Chapter 10) and a group of perinatally infected young adults that revealed no apparent abnormalities suggesting early atherosclerosis (Chapter 11). Conclusions CMR allows quantification of atherosclerosis in different patient groups. Low traditional CVD risk SLE and adult HIV-infected patients exhibit subclinical atherosclerosis. It emerges that clearer assessment of CMR’s limitations, the abnormalities seen in patient subgroups and of the different arterial wall pathophysiological changes in different inflammatory conditions is needed before employing carotid parameters as surrogates for assessing the effect of established or novel treatments on CVD risk.

description: In this paper we introduce and study the notion of a graded (strongly) nil clean ring which is group graded. We also deal with extensions of graded (strongly) nil clean rings to graded matrix rings and to graded group rings. The question of when nil cleanness of the component, which corresponds to the neutral element of a group, implies graded nil cleanness of the whole graded ring is examined. Similar question is discussed in the case of groupoid graded rings as well.

description: New colour distributions have been derived from wide field UBVRI frames for 36 northern bright elliptical galaxies and a few lenticulars. The classical linear representations of colours against log r were derived, with some improvements in the accuracy of the zero point colours and of the gradients. The radial range of signicant measurements was enlarged both towards the galaxian center and towards the outskirts of each object. Thus, the "central colours", integrated within a radius of 3", and the "outermost colours" averaged near the mu_V = 24 surface brightness, could also be obtained. Some typical deviations of colour profiles from linearity are described. Colour-colour relations of interest are presented. Very tight correlations are found between the U-V colour and the Mg2 line-index, measured either at the galaxian center or at the effective radius.

description: Landscape presents nature to us in another way through artificial transformation. At the same time of rapid development, cities should attach great importance to setting of urban green landscape. Plant landscape of urban gardens is an essential part of urban green landscape. To study plant landscape of urban gardens, it is necessary to find out growth habits and characteristics of plants, and ornamental benefits of plants. Different plants can be combined together to produce different space forms and generate different aesthetic effects. Through enriching plant landscape forms of urban gardens, it is feasible to increase the interest of urban landscape.

We find that all the OPE coefficients are real in the case of an imaginary tetrahedral coupling constant, while one of them is not real in the case of a real coupling. We also discuss the operator spectrum of the free theory based on the character decomposition of the partition function.

description: Using high resolution near-infrared spectroscopy with the Keck telescope, we have detected the radial velocity signatures of the cool secondary components in four optically identified pre-main-sequence, single-lined spectroscopic binaries. All are weak-lined T Tauri stars with well-defined center of mass velocities. The mass ratio for one young binary, NTTS 160905-1859, is M2/M1 = 0.18+/-0.01, the smallest yet measured dynamically for a pre-main-sequence spectroscopic binary. These new results demonstrate the power of infrared spectroscopy for the dynamical identification of cool secondaries. Visible light spectroscopy, to date, has not revealed any pre-main-sequence secondary stars with masses <0.5 M_sun, while two of the young systems reported here are in that range. We compare our targets with a compilation of the published young double-lined spectroscopic binaries and discuss our unique contribution to this sample.

description: In this paper, an adaptive grid method for singularly perturbed Volterra integro-differential equations exhibiting a boundary layer is studied. At first, based on an arbitrary nonuniform mesh, we use the classical backward Euler formula to discrete the first-order derivative part and the left rectangle formula to approximate the integral part, respectively. Meanwhile, it is shown from the mesh equidistribution principle and the truncation error analysis that the presented adaptive grid method is first-order uniformly convergent with respect to the perturbation parameter. Furthermore, the Richardson extrapolation technique is utilized to improve the uniform accuracy of the presented adaptive grid method in the discrete supremum norm form O(N−1) to O(N−2), where N is the mesh parameter. Finally, some numerical results are given to support the theoretical results.

description: Non-thermal desorption of inter- and circum-stellar ice mantles on dust grains, in particular ultraviolet photon-induced desorption, has gained importance in recent years. These processes may account for the observed gas phase abundances of molecules like CO toward cold interstellar clouds. Ice mantle growth results from gas molecules impinging on the dust from all directions and incidence angles. Nevertheless, the effect of the incident angle for deposition on ice photo-desorption rate has not been studied. This work explores the impact on the accretion and photodesorption rates of the incidence angle of CO gas molecules with the cold surface during deposition of a CO ice layer. Infrared spectroscopy monitored CO ice upon deposition at different angles, ultraviolet-irradiation, and subsequent warm-up. Vacuum-ultraviolet spectroscopy and a Ni-mesh measured the emission of the ultraviolet lamp. Molecules ejected from the ice to the gas during irradiation or warm-up were characterized by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The photodesorption rate of CO ice deposited at 11 K and different incident angles was rather stable between 0 and 45$^{\circ}$. A maximum in the CO photodesorption rate appeared around 70$^{\circ}$-incidence deposition angle. The same deposition angle leads to the maximum surface area of water ice. Although this study of the surface area could not be performed for CO ice, the similar angle dependence in the photodesorption and the ice surface area suggests that they are closely related. Further evidence for a dependence of CO ice morphology on deposition angle is provided by thermal desorption of CO ice experiments.
Retardation effects from quark confinement on low-energy nucleon dynamics

description: Retardation effects from quark confinement on low-energy nucleon dynamics are investigated within the generalized quantum dynamics (GQD). It is shown that the GQD provides an extension of Hamiltonian dynamics which can describe the evolution of systems of hadrons whose interaction is nonlocal in time due to quark-gluon retardation effects. This is illustrated by the example of the dynamics of nucleons with internal structure described by a constitute quark model. It is shown that quark-gluon retardation effects result in an anomalous off-shell behavior of the two-nucleon amplitudes, and in a lack of continuity of the evolution operator describing nucleon dynamics; for this reason low-energy nucleon dynamics is not governed by the Schr{ö}dinger equation. This is shown to have substantial effects on the dynamics of many nucleon systems. It is also shown that the GQD allows one to take into account retardation effects from quark confinement in describing the short-range part of the $NN$ interaction.

description: We propose a new scheme for quantum key distribution using macroscopic non-classical pulses of light having of the order 10^6 photons per pulse. Sub-shot-noise quantum correlation between the two polarization modes in a pulse gives the necessary sensitivity to eavesdropping that ensures the security of the protocol. We consider pulses of two-mode squeezed light generated by a type-II seeded parametric amplification process. We analyze the security of the system in terms of the effect of an eavesdropper on the bit error rates for the legitimate parties in the key distribution system. We also consider the effects of imperfect detectors and lossy channels on the security of the scheme.

description: We develop an algorithm based on an interaction network to identify high-transverse-momentum Higgs bosons decaying to bottom quark-antiquark pairs and distinguish them from ordinary jets that reflect the configurations of quarks and gluons at short distances. The algorithm's inputs are features of the reconstructed charged particles in a jet and the secondary vertices associated with them. Describing the jet shower as a combination of particle-to-particle and particle-to-vertex interactions, the model is trained to learn a jet representation on which the classification problem is optimized. The algorithm is trained on simulated samples of realistic LHC collisions, released by the CMS Collaboration on the CERN Open Data Portal. The interaction network achieves a drastic improvement in the identification performance with respect to state-of-the-art algorithms.

description: Microscopy allows us to peer into the complex deeply shrouded world that the cells of our body grow and thrive in. With the emergence of automated digital microscopes and software for anlysing and processing the large numbers of image that they produce; quantitative microscopy approaches are now allowing us to answer ever larger and more complex biological questions. In this thesis I explore two trends. Firstly, that of using quantitative microscopy for performing unbiased screens, the advances made here include developing strategies to handle imaging data captured from physiological models, and unsupervised analysis screening data to derive unbiased biological insights. Secondly, I develop software for analysing live cell imaging data, that can now be captured at greater rates than ever before and use this to help answer key questions covering the biology of how cells make the decision to arrest or proliferate in response to DNA damage. Together this thesis represents a view of the current state of the art in high-throughput quantitative microscopy and details where the field is heading as machine learning approaches become ever more sophisticated.

description: As more cooling flow clusters of galaxies with central radio sources are observed with the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray Observatories, more examples of "bubbles" (low-emission regions in the X-ray coincident with radio emission) are being found. These bubbles are surrounded by bright shells of X-ray emission, and no evidence of current strong shocks has yet been found. Using an analytic approach and some simplifying assumptions, we derive expressions relating the size and location of a bubble, as well as the density contrast between the bubble and the ambient medium, with the shock history of the bubble. These can be applied straightforwardly to new observations. We find that existing observations are consistent with a mild shock occurring in the past, and with the bulk of the cool material in the X-ray shells being cooled at the cluster center and then pushed outward by the radio source. Strong shocks are ruled out unless they occurred more than 1 Gyr ago. We also discuss Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities as well as the case of a bubble expanding into an older bubble produced from a previous cycle of radio activity.

description: Soil salinization has become a global issue. Saline and alkaline arable land was taken as research object in this paper and four salt gradients were set (S1: 0.1%; S2: 0.5%; S3: 0.9%; and S4: 1.3%). Through the addition of different substrates (CK: no addition of substrate; N: addition of nitrogen source; C: addition of glucose, C+N: addition of glucose and nitrogen source) to soil, it analyzed the influence of salt content on the soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC) for the purpose of surveying the response mechanism of soil carbon turnover to salt stress. Results indicated that after addition of different substrates, the SMBC in high salt content (S3 and S4) is obviously lower than that in low salt content (S1 and S2). The decline rate of S3 and S4 is 5.4% and 14.2% for no addition of substrate; the decline rate is 9.0% and 24.0% for addition of nitrogen source; the decline rate is 11.5% and 28.0% for addition of carbon source; the decline rate is 19.5% and 39.5% for addition of carbon source + nitrogen source. Compared with no addition of substrates, addition of nitrogen source could not increase the SMBC. Addition of carbon source and carbon + nitrogen can significantly increase the SMBC, and the increase in low salt content soil (80.0%-81.0% and 58.0%-59.0%) is obviously higher than high salt content soil (52.0%-69.0% and 34.0%-50.0%). Generally, when the soil salt content is low (0.5%), the influence of different substrate treatment is little on the SMBC, and increasing the soil salt content can obviously reduce the SMBC.

In the case where the matter is described by a two component plasma where thermal effects are neglected, a mode representing high-frequency plasma oscillations is found in addition to the standard growing and decaying gravitational instability picture. Further applications of these equations are also discussed.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the changes of health-promoting bioactive compounds and related enzymes of ‘Hutai No.8’ grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in response to deficit irrigation. The experiment had five irrigation treatments: FI (75%–90% of FC [field water holding capacity] from budburst to full maturation), DI (same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from peasize to full maturation), DI1 (same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from peasize to véraison), DI2 (same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from véraison to mid-ripening) and DI3 (same as FI except 50%–60% of FC from mid-ripening to full maturation). Results showed that contents of different bioactive compounds and activity of related enzymes in grape leaves and berries tissue increased over control due to the application of deficit irrigation, and these changes were dependent on the fruit developmental period. Correlation analysis revealed the most significant positive relationship was observed between bioactive compounds and related enzymes activities in the grape seeds (r = 0.804). However, the most significant negative relationship was observed between bioactive compounds and polyphenol oxidase activity in the grape leaves (r = −0.769). Deficit irrigation treatment after véraison is an efficient approach for inducing the accumulation of bioactive compounds.
Self consistent propagation of hyperons and antikaons in nuclear matter based on relativistic chiral SU(3) dynamics

description: We evaluate the antikaon spectral density in isospin symmetric nuclear matter. The in-medium antikaon-nucleon scattering process and the antikaon propagation is treated in a self consistent and relativistic manner where a maximally scheme-independent formulation is derived by performing a partial density resummation in terms of the free-space antikaon-nucleon scattering amplitudes. The latter amplitudes are taken from a covariant and chiral coupled-channel SU(3) approach which includes s-, p- and d-waves systematically. Particular care is taken on the proper evaluation of the in-medium mixing of the partial waves. Our analysis establishes a rich structure of the antikaon spectral function with considerable strength at small energies. At nuclear saturation density we predict attractive mass shifts for the $Λ(1405)$, $Σ(1385)$ and $Λ(1520)$ of about 60 MeV, 60 MeV and 100 MeV respectively. The hyperon states are found to exhibit at the same time an increased decay width of about 120 MeV for the s-wave $Λ(1405)$, 70 MeV for the p-wave $Σ(1385)$ and 90 MeV for the d-wave $Λ(1520)$ resonance.

description: Two separate experiments were carried out: the first one involved a study of the chemical and some intrinsic feed characteristics of raw cotton stalk (CS) and the efficiency of chemical, biological treatments on the improvement of the feed value of CS. CS was treated with chemical treatment by mixing 3% Ca (OH)2 (CS+Ca), 3% urea (CS+U), 3% urea+3% Ca (OH)2 (CS+Ca+U). Moreover, CS was treated with biological treatment by inoculation of either Lentinus edodes (CS+Po) or Pleurotus ostreatus (CS+Pl) or crushing CS by adding minor ingredient processed into pellet feed, samples from all treatment were analyzed for the nutrients, In vitro dry matter digestibility (INDMD) and free gossypol detoxification rate. The second investigated was the use of crushed or granulation CS as a test feed followed by voluntary feed intake and preference test with sheep. CS+Ca+U treatment can reach up the CP and IVDMD to 9% and 36%, respectively. CS+Po decreased the fiber component and improved CP content and IVDMD. The free gossypol content declined and the free gossypol detoxification rate reached more than 50%. By feeding sheep under the same level of concentrate and corn silage, the voluntary feed intake and daily weight gain in granulation group is higher than in crushing group (p<0.05). Crushing CS by adding minor ingredient processed into a pellet feed was best in terms of improved nutritional quality, feed intake and preference, and it was safe and practical method that can be widely used in sheep production systems, to promote the CS feed utilization in similar areas.

description: The problem of mixed signals occurs in many different contexts; one of the most familiar being acoustics. The forward problem in acoustics consists of finding the sound pressure levels at various detectors resulting from sound signals emanating from the active acoustic sources. The inverse problem consists of using the sound recorded by the detectors to separate the signals and recover the original source waveforms. In general, the inverse problem is unsolvable without additional information. This general problem is called source separation, and several techniques have been developed that utilize maximum entropy, minimum mutual information, and maximum likelihood. In previous work, it has been demonstrated that these techniques can be recast in a Bayesian framework. This paper demonstrates the power of the Bayesian approach, which provides a natural means for incorporating prior information into a source model. An algorithm is developed that utilizes information regarding both the statistics of the amplitudes of the signals emitted by the sources and the relative locations of the detectors. Using this prior information, the algorithm finds the most probable source behavior and configuration. Thus, the inverse problem can be solved by simultaneously performing source separation and localization. It should be noted that this algorithm is not designed to account for delay times that are often important in acoustic source separation. However, a possible application of this algorithm is in the separation of electrophysiological signals obtained using electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG).

description: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), a fruit-bearing shrub with extensive genetic and geographical diversity, effectively takes its place among several other significant global fruit crops. The global demand for pomegranate is increasing consistently since this fruit has recently been merited with the status of a ‘super fruit’; apart from its other culinary and medicinal (both ethnomedical and modern) uses. Thus, researchers from different parts of the world have been trying to standardise agro-technical, in vitro-biotechnological and molecular-marker-assisted technologies for enhanced production, superior plant protection, post-harvest management, and genetic improvement of pomegranate, grown in various agro-climatic zones. Upon realising this context, the present review was framed after an extensive groundwork, carried out on 250 published scientific articles, reports, bulletins, and web pages extracted from various scientific (CeRA, Google Scholar, JGate, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) and public (Google and Bing) domains, in order to summarise most of the recent advancements in botanical, ethno-medicinal uses, agro-technological advancements, post-harvest management and molecular characterisation of pomegranate. This review further includes surveys on multiple technologies, along with their achievements and demerits that need immediate attention of the pomegranate researchers for sustainable improvement of this fruit crop, with immense medicinal value.

description: We give a review of recent progress on the application of the relativistic chiral SU(3) Lagrangian to meson-baryon scattering. It is shown that a combined chiral and 1/N_c expansion of the Bethe-Salpeter interaction kernel leads to a good description of the kaon-nucleon, antikaon-nucleon and pion-nucleon scattering data typically up to laboratory momenta of p_lab about 500 MeV. We solve the covariant coupled channel Bethe-Salpeter equation with the interaction kernel truncated to chiral order Q^3 where we include only those terms which are leading in the large N_c limit of QCD.

description: It is a big challenge for resource-limited mobile devices (MDs) to execute various complex and energy-consumed mobile applications. Fortunately, as a novel computing paradigm, edge computing (MEC) can provide abundant computing resources to execute all or parts of the tasks of MDs and thereby can greatly reduce the energy of MD and improve the QoS of applications. However, offloading workflow tasks to the MEC servers are liable to external security threats (e.g., snooping, alteration). In this paper, we propose a security and energy efficient computation offloading (SEECO) strategy for service workflows in MEC environment, the goal of which is to optimize the energy consumption under the risk probability and deadline constraints. First, we build a security overhead model to measure the execution time of security services. Then, we formulate the computation offloading problem by incorporating the security, energy consumption and execution time of workflow application. Finally, based on the genetic algorithm (GA), the corresponding coding strategies of SEECO are devised by considering tasks execution order and location and security services selection. Extensive experiments with the variety of workflow parameters demonstrate that SEECO strategy can achieve the security and energy efficiency for the mobile applications.

Correlating bone micromechanics to nanoscale characteristics
Creators: name: Aldegaither, Nouf

description: Bone’s biomechanical properties derive from the hierarchical arrangement of its constituents with toughening mechanisms acting at every length scale. At the nanoscale, bone is a natural composite material consisting of protein (90% collagen and 10% non-collagenous proteins), mineral, and water. These components, their complex arrangement, interactions between them, and organisation of the mineralised collagen fibrils, make bone a tough and strong composite. However, almost nothing is known about how these components contribute to bone’s toughness at the microscale. In this thesis, the elastic and fracture properties of collections of mineralised collagen fibrils bone were assessed at the micrometre scale by developing an in situ scanning electron microscope that minimizes the effects of porosity and heterogeneities. We assessed elastic moduli and fracture toughness by uniaxial micro-compression and double cantilever beam micromechanical approaches, respectively. Microscopic samples of mouse bone femur were micromachined using a focused ion beam both parallel (longitudinal orientation) and perpendicular (transverse orientation) to the principle bone growth direction. Subsequent transmission electron microscopy imaging of regions of the fractured pillars were used to correlate the role of the local organization of the mineralized collagen fibrils with fracture toughness and crack path. Finally, an experimental protocol was optimised to test the in situ mechanical properties of hydrated healthy tissue. By probing healthy dry samples, we demonstrate that fibril anisotropy plays a pivotal role in the micromechanical response of healthy bone samples and that the crack propagation path in the healthy bone samples relates to local fibrillar orientation. Additionally, osteopontin-deficient bone was studied to elucidate the structure-function relationships in pathological bone associated with deficiencies in non-collagenous proteins. In the osteopontin-deficient bone, the mineralised collagen was less organised localised and deviations in the fibrillar organisation reduced anisotropy, which results in mechanical deterioration of bone (elasticity and fracture resistance) at the microscale.
