Statistical correlation based methods for enhanced interpretation of and information recovery from NMR metabolic data sets
Creators: name: Sands, Caroline Jane

description: Owing to its ability to capture a systemic and temporal metabolic description of an organism’s response to a treatment, metabonomics is a well-established and valuable approach in elucidating the effects and mechanisms of a given perturbation. However, to optimise information recovery from the complex datasets generated, chemometric methods are essential. The work presented in this thesis focuses on the development of novel methods, and the use of existing methods in new applications to ease data interpretation and enhance information recovery from 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabonomic datasets using correlation based methods. Although the methods here are largely applied to toxicological data, they could be equally valuable in the analysis of any metabonomic dataset, and indeed potentially to other ‘omics’ data presenting similar analytical challenges. The first two methodological approaches relate to novel extensions of Statistical Total Correlation Spectroscopy (STOCSY), a valuable tool in elucidation of both inter- and intra-metabolite spectral intensity correlations in NMR metabonomic datasets. In the first, STOCSY is utilised in STOCSY-editing, a method for the selective identification and downscaling of the peaks from unwanted metabolites such as those arising from xenobiotics. Structurally correlated peaks from drug metabolites are first identified using STOCSY, and the returned correlation information utilised to scale the spectra across these regions, producing a modified set of spectra in which drug metabolite contributions are reduced, endogenous peaks reconstructed and thus, analysis by pattern recognition methods without drug metabolite interferences facilitated. In the second, the STOCSY approach is extended in Iterative-STOCSY, where metabolic associations are followed over several rounds of STOCSY through calculation of correlation coefficients initially from a driver spectral peak of interest, and subsequently from all peaks identified as correlating above a set threshold to peaks picked in the previous round. The condensation of putatively structurally related peaks into single nodes, and representation of the otherwise complex network in a fully interactive plot of node-to-node connections and corresponding spectral data, allows the ready exploration of both inter- and intrametabolite relationships and a more directed approach to the identification of biomarkers of the studied perturbation. Finally various clustering methods are investigated with the aim of providing improved structural (intra-metabolite) versus non-structural (inter-metabolite) assignment. Thus, this thesis presents a framework for the enhanced identification, recovery and characterisation of inter- and intrametabolite relationships and how these are affected by metabonomic perturbation.

Dynamic Hyperspectral and Polarized Endoscopic Imaging
Creators: name: Wood, Tobias C.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The health of rich, developed nations has seen drastic improvement in the last two centuries. For it to continue improving at a similar rate new or improved diagnostic and treatment technologies are required, especially for those diseases such as cancer which are forecast to constitute the majority of disease burden in the future. Optical techniques such as microscopy have long played their part in the diagnostic process. However there are several new biophotonic modalities that aim to exploit various interactions between light and tissue to provide enhanced diagnostic information. Many of these show promise in a laboratory setting but few have progressed to a clinical setting. We have designed and constructed a flexible, multi-modal, multi-spectral laparoscopic imaging system that could be used to demonstrate several different techniques in a clinical setting. The core of this system is a dynamic hyperspectral illumination system based around a supercontinuum laser and Digital Micromirror Device that can provide specified excitation light in the visible and near infra-red ranges. This is a powerful tool for spectroscopic techniques as it is not limited to interrogating a fixed range of wavelengths and can switch between excitation bands instantaneously. The excitation spectra can be customised to match particular fluorophores or absorption features, introducing new possibilities for spectral imaging. A standard 10 mm diameter rigid endoscope was incorporated into the system to reduce cost and demonstrate compatibility with existing equipment. The polarization properties of two commercial endoscopes were characterised and found to be unsuited to current polarization imaging techniques as birefringent materials used in their construction introduce complex, spatially dependent transformations of the polarization state. Preliminary exemplar data from phantoms and ex vivo tissue was collected and the feasibility and accuracy of different analysis techniques demonstrated including multiple class classification algorithms. Finally, a novel visualisation method was implemented in order to display the complex hyperspectral data sets in a meaningful and intuitive way to the user.

description: Caffeine is a legal stimulant drug which has received considerable attention due to its widespread use as a beverage and in pharmaceutical formulations. However, reported chemosensors for caffeine are limited. In the present study use of a perylene diimide (PDI) derivative has been explored for the first time for detection and quantification of caffeine in an aqueous medium. Spectroscopic studies (UV-Vis, Fluorescence, FTIR and 1H-NMR) suggest that aspartic acid modified perylene diimide (PASP) may bind to caffeine through π-π interaction. This interaction results in immediate quenching of fluorescence and optical color change which can be perceived through naked eyes. This probe has been successfully used for bio-imaging of caffeine in living cells.

Investigating the regulation of AMP-activated protein kinase and SNF1
Creators: name: Mayer, Faith Victoria
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has long been known to play a critical role in the maintenance of energy homeostasis through direct interaction with or altering gene and protein expression of key players in diverse metabolic pathways. AMPK has been implicated in a number of diseases with roots in metabolic dysregulation, including obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Elucidating the regulation of AMPK is an important part in understanding the progression of these diseases, and for developing small molecule modulators of AMPK activity which could have therapeutic applications. AMPK activity is determined by the phosphorylation status of T172 in the activation loop of the α subunit kinase domain. Binding of AMP to the γ subunit also increases its activity, primarily by preventing dephosphorylation of T172 but also by direct allosteric activation of the complex. The overall aim of this study was to investigate nucleotide regulation of AMPK. Site-directed mutagenesis studies showed that loss of highly conserved residues in γ1 disrupts regulation of both dephosphorylation and allosteric activation of AMPK by AMP. However, my studies revealed that these mutations do not have site-specific effects. The role of ADP in AMPK regulation was also investigated following the observation that this nucleotide also prevented dephosphorylation and inactivation of AMPK. The action of ADP on AMPK activity was characterised in wild-type complexes and insights from new structures of the active AMPK complex has provided insight into the molecular mechanism underlying AMP/ADP protection and dephosphorylation of T172. The yeast homologue of AMPK, SNF1, plays a central role in responding to glucose limitation and adaption to alternative carbon sources. Recombinant SNF1 complexes were used to show that ADP is the long-sought metabolite responsible for transmitting this low glucose signal and activates SNF1 by a similar mechanism to that seen in AMPK, preventing dephosphorylation and inactivation. Together these studies identify an important activator of both AMPK and SNF1, drawing parallels between these two systems and characterising a highly conserved regulatory mechanism, suggesting that ADP may represent a unifying trigger for activation of AMPK homologues in diverse species. Finally a potential link between AMPK and redox metabolism was identified in the form of NADH, opening new avenues of research in this field.

Behaviour of Beam-to-tubular Column Connections under Extreme Loading Conditions
Creators: name: Liu, Yanzhi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Whilst the moment-rotation behaviour of typical connection configurations has been extensively examined in previous studies, there is a relative lack of information on the performance under more generalised loading conditions, particularly in relation to semi-rigid connections to tubular columns. To this end, this research aims to provide fundamental information that would enable an extension of the assessment and design of semi-rigid tubular column connections to loading scenarios involving significant axial or shear actions. In particular, the thesis focuses on the behaviour of two cost-effective semi-rigid open beam-to-tubular column alternatives: i) blind-bolted angle connections and ii) reverse channel connections with angles. The work involves experimental investigations, detailed numerical simulations and analytical studies, as well as application-oriented studies. Firstly, two experimental investigations that are concerned with the behaviour of beam-to-tubular column connections under predominant axial and shear loads respectively are presented. The experimental set-up, connection configurations and material properties are introduced followed by a detailed account of the results and observations from the tests. The main behavioural patterns are identified and their effect on the connection performance is discussed. Subsequently, detailed three-dimensional finite element models are constructed by means of the nonlinear program ABAQUS, and their results are validated against the experimental data obtained in this research in addition to that provided from previous bending tests conducted at Imperial College London. Complementary component-based mechanical models for both blind-bolted and combined channel/angle connections are also suggested and described. Various component characteristics including tension and compression load-displacement relationships as well as load-displacement expressions in shear are proposed. The findings offer information which is of direct relevance to strength prediction in conventional design procedures, as well to more involved characterisation of stiffness, capacity and ductility for modelling and assessment purposes, particularly under extreme loading conditions. In the concluding part of the thesis, the component-based models are employed, together with detailed finite element simulations, to illustrate the applicability of the proposed connection models under a number of possible load combinations involving bending and/or shear actions. As an example of application of the suggested models in frame analysis under extreme loading, selected frame and beam simulations are carried out under idealised pseudo-static conditions representing column removal and floor-on-floor collapse situations. Finally, the findings of the thesis are summarized and a number of possible future research areas are highlighted.

description: The detection of software vulnerabilities (or vulnerabilities for short) is an important problem that has yet to be tackled, as manifested by the many vulnerabilities reported on a daily basis. This calls for machine learning methods for vulnerability detection. Deep learning is attractive for this purpose because it alleviates the requirement to manually define features. Despite the tremendous success of deep learning in other application domains, its applicability to vulnerability detection is not systematically understood. In order to fill this void, we propose the first systematic framework for using deep learning to detect vulnerabilities in C/C++ programs with source code. The framework, dubbed Syntax-based, Semantics-based, and Vector Representations (SySeVR), focuses on obtaining program representations that can accommodate syntax and semantic information pertinent to vulnerabilities. Our experiments with 4 software products demonstrate the usefulness of the framework: we detect 15 vulnerabilities that are not reported in the National Vulnerability Database. Among these 15 vulnerabilities, 7 are unknown and have been reported to the vendors, and the other 8 have been "silently" patched by the vendors when releasing newer versions of the pertinent software products.

description: It is argued that the T-dual of a crosscap is a combination of an O+ and an O- orientifold plane. Various theories with crosscaps and D-branes are interpreted as gauge-theories on tori obeying twisted boundary conditions. Their duals live on orientifolds where the various orientifold planes are of different types. We derive how to read off the holonomies from the positions of D-branes in the orientifold background. As an application we reconstruct some results from a paper by Borel, Friedman and Morgan for gauge theories with classical groups, compactified on a 2-- or 3--torus with twisted boundary conditions.

description: Recently, it has been observed that a certain class of classical theories with constraints can be quantized by a mathematical procedure known as Rieffel induction. After a short exposition of this idea, we apply the new quantization theory to the Stueckelberg-Kibble model. We explicitly construct the physical state space ${\cal H}_{phys}$, which carries a massive representation of the Poincaré group. The longitudinal one-particle component arises from a particular Bogoliubov transformation of the five (unphysical) degrees of freedom one has started with. Our discussion exhibits the particular features of the proposed constrained quantization theory in great clarity.

description: With the aim to characterize the formation and propagation of bulges in cylindrical rubber balloons, we carry out an expansion of the non-linear axisymmetric membrane model assuming slow axial variations. We obtain a diffuse interface model similar to that introduced by van der Waals in the context of liquid-vapor phase transitions. This provides a quantitative basis to the well-known analogy between propagating bulges and phase transitions. The diffuse interface model is amenable to numerical as well as analytical solutions, including linear and non-linear bifurcation analyses. Comparisons to the original membrane model reveal that the diffuse interface model captures the bulging phenomenon very accurately, even for well-localized phase boundaries.

description: The main purpose of this study was to produce landslide susceptibility maps using evidential belief function (EBF), logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) models and to compare their results for the region surrounding Yongin, South Korea. We compiled a landslide inventory map of 82 landslides based on reports and aerial photographs and confirmed these data through extensive field surveys. All landslides were randomly separated into two data sets of 41 landslide data points each; half were selected to establish the model, and the remaining half were used for validation. We divided 18 landslide conditioning factors into the following four categories: topography factors, hydrology factors, soil map and forest map; these were considered for landslide susceptibility mapping. The relationships between landslide occurrence and landslide conditioning factors were analyzed using the EBF, LR and SVM models. The three models were then validated using the area under the curve (AUC) method. According to the validation results, the prediction accuracy of the LR model (AUC = 94.59%) was higher than those of the EBF model (AUC = 92.25%) and the SVM model (AUC = 81.78%); the LR model also had the highest training accuracy.

description: We consider a set of measures on the real line and the corresponding system of multiple orthogonal polynomials (MOPs) of the first and second type. Under some very mild assumptions, which are satisfied by Angelesco systems, we define self-adjoint Jacobi matrices on certain rooted trees. We express their Green's functions and the matrix elements in terms of MOPs. This provides a generalization of the well-known connection between the theory of polynomials orthogonal on the real line and Jacobi matrices on $\mathbb{Z}_+$ to higher dimension. We illustrate importance of this connection by proving ratio asymptotics for MOPs using methods of operator theory.

description: Recognizing and attending to social interactions is important for social development. Infants show increased attention to social interactions toward the end of the first year (Thiele et al., 2021), but there is little neural evidence regarding the development of social interaction processing in the brain. In adults, a region of the posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) is functionally specialized for processing social interactions relative to independent actions (Isik et al., 2017). This region responds both to naturalistic video of human interaction and simplified, abstract representations of interactions that retain relational features. We will be investigating if there is a functionally specialized region for processing social interactions in infant STS. Additionally, if such a region exists, is it initially responsive to 1) concrete, naturalistic features of interacting people, 2) abstract, relational features, or 3) both? This study investigates 7.0-to 9.0-month-old-infants’ brain activity while observing social interactions and independent actions. Infants will be fitted with a fNIRS cap to measure activation in several brain regions, including the left and right superior temporal sulcus, medial prefrontal cortex, and right MT and anterior temporal lobe. To examine what drives activation in any regions selectively responsive to social interactions, we will also manipulate the features in the videos, to test if concrete or abstract features drive early specialized responses to social interactions.

Data Recovery / Excavation

description: Site 26Ck4984 is a prehistoric chert quarry located in Area II on Nellis Air Force Base. A detailed core analysis and debitage study, including core type, flake type, and comparisons of core facet to flake measurements was performed in order to determine if the site had been utilized by local people or by people traveling long distances. Research results suggest that the site was used predominantly by local inhabitants, probably as an embedded activity in their hunter-gatherer subsistence strategy. An adjunct to this project was the collection of raw material for the purpose of building a database of geochemical signatures of raw material sources.

String Theory and the Space-Time Uncertainty Principle

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The notion of a space-time uncertainty principle in string theory is clarified and further developed. The motivation and the derivation of the principle are first reviewed in a reasonably self-contained way. It is then shown that the nonperturbative (Borel summed) high-energy and high-momentum transfer behavior of string scattering is consistent with the space-time uncertainty principle. It is also shown that, in consequence of the principle, string theories in 10 dimensions generically exhibit a characteristic length scale which is equal to the well-known 11 dimensional Planck length $g_s^{1/3}\ell_s$ of M-theory as the scale at which stringy effects take over the effects of classical supergravity, even without involving D-branes directly. The meanings of the space-time uncertainty relation in connection with D-branes and black holes are discussed and reinterpreted. Finally, we present a novel interpretation of the Schild-gauge action for strings from a viewpoint of noncommutative geometry, which conforms to the space-time uncertainty relation by manifestly exhibiting a noncommutativity of quantized string coordinates dominantly between space and time. We also discuss the consistency of the space-time uncertainty relation with S and T dualities.

Structural Studies of Afa/Dr Family of Fimbrial Proteins
Creators: name: Lee, Wei-Chao
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Pathogenic Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. are Gram negative bacteria that inhabit the lower intestines of mammals and express virulence factors that are responsible for infecting millions of people with urinary tract infections, diarrhoea and food poisoning. These virulence factors, which target the host through many varied mechanisms, assist these organisms to overcome the host defences and colonize or invade the urinary or gastrointestinal tract. This project focuses on Afa/Dr related fimbrial proteins from different strains of pathogenic E. coli and Salmonella enteritidis involved in the initial contact with host cells. A polymeric fibre of major subunits capped by a minor subunit make up the architecture of the fimbria and both are transported to the cell surface by the chaperone-usher system. The structure of a minor subunit from Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), AafB, was solved by X-ray crystallography at 3.0Å resolution. Potential ligands have been identified using glycoarrays and these interactions have been studied in more detail using nuclear magnetic resonance. Residues were identified that are important for interaction with heparin I-S. The structure of HdaB, another minor subunit from EAEC, was also solved by X-ray crystallography to 2.0 Å, although no ligand was identified. As expected these two homologous proteins show a very similar immunoglobulin-like fold consisting of 9 β-strands. Structural work was also performed on SefD, a minor subunit from S. enteritidis. SefD crystals were not reproducible and molecular replacement failed to obtain phase information. It was possible to reproduce crystals by replacing 100% D2O instead of H2O into the crystallisation and sample buffer, although data collection and processing showed a change in space group. Selenomethionine derivatives did not yield an anomalous signal and soaks using sodium iodide and 5-amino-2, 4, 6-triiodoisophthalic acid failed due to lack of incorporation.

description: Occulting galaxy pairs have been used to determine the transmission and dust composition within the foreground galaxy. Observations of the nearly face-on ring-like debris disk around the solar-like star HD 107146 by HST/ACS in 2004 and HST/STIS in 2011 reveal that the debris ring is occulting an extended background galaxy over the subsequent decades. Our aim is to use 2004 HST observations of this system to model the galaxy and apply this to the 2011 observation in order to measure the transmission of the galaxy through the outer regions of the debris disk. We model the galaxy with an exponential disk and a Sérsic pseudo-bulge in the V- and I-band, but irregularities due to small scale structure from star forming regions limits accurate determination of the foreground dust distribution. We show that debris ring transit photometry is feasible for optical depth increases of $Δτ\geq$ 0.04 ($1 σ$) on tens of au scales the width of the background galaxy { when the 2011 STIS data are compared directly with new HST/STIS observations, instead of the use of a smoothed model as a reference.

Prediction of the performance of adhesively-bonded composite joints
Creators: name: Brett, Michael Alexander De Oliveira
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The use of adhesively-bonded joints instead of the traditional types of joining can give reduced weight and increased stiffness in a structure. However, most industries have concerns about the use of adhesive joints in anything other than secondary structures, due to uncertainties over the long-term service life. This thesis discusses the prediction of the lifetime of adhesively-bonded composite structures. A fracture mechanics approach was used to characterise the fracture behaviour of an epoxy film adhesive, Cytec FM-300M, mainly using composite substrates prepared using wet peel ply, removing the need for any additional surface treatment. Aluminium alloy substrates were also used for some tests. Tapered double cantilever beam and double cantilever beam specimens were used to determine the mode I critical strain energy release rate, GIC, and end loaded split specimens were tested to obtain the mode II critical strain energy release rate, GIIC. Lastly, fixed ratio mixed mode specimens were used to obtain the relationship between GIC and GIIC when a joint undergoes mixed mode failure. For validation purposes, single lap joint and double scarf joint specimens were also tested. These data were then applied in finite element models using Abaqus. Two different modelling techniques were used, the virtual crack closure technique and cohesive zone modelling, CZM. Simulations of the tests performed were executed, in the process obtaining the CZM fitting parameters. Good agreement with the experimental data was verified for each of the models tested. Fatigue tests were also performed in order to obtain the mode I and mode II threshold values of the fracture energy below which crack growth did not occur, by executing double cantilever beam and end loaded split tests, respectively. For validation purposes, single lap joint fatigue tests were also performed to determine the threshold maximum load the joint could withstand without failure. Finally, using the CZM fitting parameters obtained in the quasi-static tests and the experimentally obtained threshold values of the fracture energy, modelling of single lap and double scarf joints was performed in order to predict the maximum load value for which no failure would occur when subject to cyclic loading. These predictions showed excellent agreement with the experimental results, showing that this simpler model can obtain good results.
