description: The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state is a two-dimensional topological insulating state that has quantized Hall resistance of h/Ce2 and vanishing longitudinal resistance under zero magnetic field, where C is called the Chern number. The QAH effect has been realized in magnetic topological insulators (TIs) and magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. Despite considerable experimental efforts, the zero magnetic field QAH effect has so far been realized only for C = 1. Here we used molecular beam epitaxy to fabricate magnetic TI multilayers and realized the QAH effect with tunable Chern number C up to 5. The Chern number of these QAH insulators is tuned by varying the magnetic doping concentration or the thickness of the interior magnetic TI layers in the multilayer samples. A theoretical model is developed to understand our experimental observations and establish phase diagrams for QAH insulators with tunable Chern numbers. The realization of QAH insulators with high tunable Chern numbers facilitates the potential applications of dissipationless chiral edge currents in energy-efficient electronic devices and opens opportunities for developing multi-channel quantum computing and higher-capacity chiral circuit interconnects.

description: Major Findings: The additional maize produced from a given amount of fertilizer applied varied widely across households even after largely controlling for soil and rainfall conditions. The median estimated response rate was 15.9kgs of maize per kg nitrogen applied; Under the range of conditions and smallholder management practices, average maize fertilizer response rates declined as the application rate increased beyond 2 bags of urea and 2 bags of D compound; Factors raising the response rate and profitability of fertilizer use included timely availability, application rates less than the MOA 4x4 recommendation, use of animal draft power in land preparation, and use of hybrid seed. In remote areas, and given current management practices, fertilizer use appears to be profitable only for a minority of smallholder farmers in the relatively remote areas. For farmers in the more accessible areas, profitability of fertilizer use depends on timely availability. If fertilizer is not available on time, even farmers in the more accessible parts of this area of relatively high agronomic suitability for maize production are largely unable to use fertilizer profitably. Because over 30 percent of the households reported that fertilizer was delivered late, these findings indicate that efforts to ensure timely distribution can contribute substantially to the productivity gains achievable from fertilizer use.

Isolation and structure determination of a novel glycolipid pachymoside A from marine sponge Pachymatisma johnstonia
Creators: name: Shen, Jingkai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The search for new pharmacologically active agents by screening natural sources has led to the discovery of many clinically useful drugs that play a major role in the treatment of human diseases. The goal of my thesis was to discover structurally novel type III secretion inhibitors. Active extracts from marine sponge P. johnstonia were identified via high throughput bioassays for the EPEC type III secretion inhibitors. Guided by this novel bioassay model, a new glycolipid family, the pachymosides, was fractionated and identified. To determine the structure of the pachymosides, chemical degradation was performed and the glycolipids were divided into aglycon and monosaccharide parts. Three aglycons were isolated and identified as 6, 8 and 9. [diagrams not included] Two monosaccharide residues were identified by NMR as glucose and galactose. Further chiral GC analysis determined their absolute configuration as D-glucose and D-galactose. Acetylation was performed on the pachymosides followed by 13C labelling. The structure of pachymoside A (16), a member of a novel bioactive glycolipids family, was figured out. This is the second identified structure for the type III secretion inhibitor bioassay.

description: This paper uses information from rural household surveys in 24 districts in Kenya to inform current debate on maize pricing policy. Specifically, it sheds light on how rural farm households are being affected by governmental efforts to support maize price levels. Using information on landed import costs of white maize from South Africa with and without the import tariff, it simulates the effects of eliminating the tariff on rural smallholder farmers, large-scale farmers, and urban consumers. It then examines the implications of these findings for the design of strategies to promote agricultural productivity and rural income growth.

description: We predict the enhanced light harvesting of a protein-pigment complex when assembled to a quantum dot (QD) antenna. Our prototypical nanoassembly setup is composed of a Fenna-Mattews-Olson system hosting 8 Bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a dyes, and a near-infrared emitting CdSe$_x$Te$_{(1-x)}$/ZnS alloy-core/shell nanocrystal. BChl a has two wide windows of poor absorption in the green and orange-red bands, precisely where most of the sunlight energy lies. The selected QD is able to collect sunlight efficiently in a broader band and funnel its energy by a (non-radiative) Förster resonance energy transfer mechanism to the dyes embedded in the protein. By virtue of the coupling between the QD and the dyes, the nanoassembly absorption is dramatically improved in the poor absorption window of the BChl a.

description: Heterostructures constructed from two-dimensional building blocks have shown promise for field-effect transistors, memory devices, photosensors and other electronic applications1,2. 2D nanosheet crystals can be constructed into multilayer heterostructures using layer-by-layer methods3, but that method cannot be used to fabricate large-scale and thick heterostructures, due to the time-consuming nature and low efficiency of the process. An alternative approach to deposit different two-dimensional materials is by inkjet printing4-7. Here we show the fabrication of a nanosheet supercapacitor by inkjet printing Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets as electrodes, and graphene oxide nanosheets as solid-state electrolyte. The free water molecules trapped between graphene oxide sheets facilitate proton movement through the layered solid electrolyte8. The as-made supercapacitor shows high areal capacitance, good cycling stability and high areal energy and power densities comparable with existing printed supercapacitors. Moreover, the specific capacitance can be increased further by addition of liquid electrolytes.

Energy dissipation and violation of the fluctuation-response relation in non-equilibrium Langevin systems

description: The fluctuation-response relation is a fundamental relation that is applicable to systems near equilibrium. On the other hand, when a system is driven far from equilibrium, this relation is violated in general because the detailed-balance condition is not satisfied in nonequilibrium systems. Even in this case, it has been found that for a class of Langevin equations, there exists an equality between the extent of violation of the fluctuation-response relation in the nonequilibrium steady state and the rate of energy dissipation from the system into the environment [T. Harada and S. -i. Sasa, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 130602 (2005)]. Since this equality involves only experimentally measurable quantities, it serves as a proposition to determine experimentally whether the system can be described by a Langevin equation. Furthermore, the contribution of each degree of freedom to the rate of energy dissipation can be determined based on this equality. In this paper, we present a comprehensive description on this equality, and provide a detailed derivation for various types of models including many-body systems, Brownian motor models, time-dependent systems, and systems with multiple heat reservoirs.

description: We address the dynamics of higher-order solitons in optical lattices, and predict their self-splitting into the set of their single-soliton constituents. The splitting is induced by the potential introduced by the lattice, together with the imprinting of a phase tilt onto the initial multisoliton states. The phenomenon allows the controllable generation of several coherent solitons linked via their Zakharov-Shabat eigenvalues. Application of the scheme to the generation of correlated matter waves in Bose-Einstein condensates is discussed.

Multi-resolution community structure of text and citation networks
Creators: name: Bamis, Elias
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: The recent availability of large datasets from online social media and other sources presents many new research avenues to diverse scientific disciplines. We focus on analyzing the text and citation (or relational) datasets that arise naturally from human online interactions and many other collections of texts. A useful first step in any analysis of such datasets is to discover subsets whose items share common characteristics. We take a network science viewpoint and propose an extension of community detection methodologies based on the maximization of modularity that have been widely used in analyzing citations. We view the text as another complex network and combine it with the citations or other available data. Since the resulting networks are of very different structural characteristics, multi-resolution modularity is used to uncover partitions where the networks share overlapping community structure. We consider also practical problems of performance and efficiency around constructing the text and citation networks from data, and compare various methods from Information Retrieval and Citation Analysis against a text and citations dataset with a known ground truth. We use the same dataset and simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology. Finally we analyze and demonstrate the method on two datasets: one from the academic papers of the arXiv pre-prints HEP-Th section and one from a large set of posts on twitter.com related to the terrorist attack in the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris. These datasets highlight the potential similarities or differences that emerge in the community structure of the text vs the citation networks.

description: We apply the technique of self-organising maps (Kohonen 1990) to the automated classification of singly periodic astronomical lightcurves. We find that our maps readily distinguish between lightcurve types in both synthetic and real datasets, and that the resulting maps do not depend sensitively on the chosen learning parameters. Automated data analysis techniques are likely to be become increasingly important as the size of astronomical datasets continues to increase, particularly with the advent of ultra-wide-field survey telescopes such as WASP, RAPTOR and ASAS.

description: Using the disformal solution-generating method, we construct new axisymmetric solutions in Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor (DHOST) theories. The method consists in first considering a "seed" known solution in DHOST theories and then performing a disformal transformation of the metric to obtain a new solution. In vacuum, the two solutions are equivalent but they become physically inequivalent when one considers coupling to matter. In that way, we "disform" the stealth Kerr black hole solution and we obtain a first analytic rotating non-stealth solution in DHOST theories, while the associated scalar field is time-dependent with a constant kinetic density. The new solution is characterized by three parameters: the mass, the spin and the disformal parameter which encodes the deviation with respect to the Kerr geometry. We explore some geometrical properties of the novel disformed Kerr geometry which is no more Ricci flat, has the same singularity as the Kerr metric, admits an ergoregion, and is asymptotically flat. Moreover, the hidden symmetry of the Kerr solution is broken, providing an example of a non-circular geometry in a higher order theory of gravity. We also discuss geodesic motions and compute its (disformed) null directions which are interesting tools to understand the causal structure of the geometry. In addition, to illustrate again the potentiality of the disformal solution-generating method, we present another axisymmetric solution for DHOST theories obtained from a disformal transformation of the generalized Kerr solution of Einstein-Scalar gravity.

And the mice in the MTX group were treated with one dose of MTX of 0.5 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg. We analyzed 7 mice in each group. The body weight, the retrieved oocyte number and the rate of chromosome alignment abnormity were used to assess the toxicity of MTX. Specifically, the retrieved oocytes were the in-vivo matured oocytes with the first polar bodies. It was found that there were no obvious differences in the body weight and the retrieved oocytes number between the control group and different doses MTX groups. Compared with the control group, 0.5 mg/Kg MTX had little effects on the chromosome alignment, but the rates of abnormal chromosome alignment in 5 mg/Kg, 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg MTX groups were much higher. *p

description: We use all available fields with deep NICMOS imaging to search for J dropouts (H<28) at z~10. Our primary data set for this search were the two J+H NICMOS parallel fields taken with the ACS HUDF. The 5 sigma limiting mags were 28.6 in J and 28.5 in H. Several shallower fields were also used: J+H NICMOS frames available over the HDF North, the HDF South NICMOS parallel, and the ACS HUDF. The primary selection criterion was (J-H)>1.8. 11 such sources were found in all search fields using this criterion. 8 of these were clearly ruled out as credible z~10 sources, either as a result of detections (>2 sigma) blueward of J or their colors redward of the break (H-K~1.5). The nature of the 3 remaining sources could not be determined from the data. The number appears consistent with the expected contamination from low-z interlopers. Analysis of the stacked images for the 3 candidates also suggests contamination. Regardless of their true redshifts, the actual number of z~10 sources must be <=3. To assess the significance of these results, two lower redshift samples (a z~3.8 B-dropout and z~6 i-dropout sample) were projected to z~8-12 using a (1+z)^{-1} size scaling. They were added to the image frames, and the selection repeated, giving 15.6 and 4.8 J-dropouts, respectively. This suggests that to the limit of this probe (0.3 L*) there has been evolution from z~3.8 and possibly from z~6. This is consistent with the strong evolution already noted at z~6 and z~7.5 relative to z~3-4. Even assuming that 3 sources from this probe are at z~10, the rest-frame continuum UV (~1500 A) luminosity density at z~10 (integrated down to 0.3 L*) is just 0.19_{-0.09}^{+0.13}x that at z~3.8 (or 0.19_{-0.10}^{+0.15}x including cosmic variance). However, if none of our sources is at z~10, this ratio has a 1 sigma upper limit of 0.07. (abridged)

The use of pancreatic polypeptide in risk stratification for complications of type 2 diabetes
Creators: name: Buckley, Adam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis evaluates the potential of fasting pancreatic polypeptide (PP) as a biomarker of microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has already reached epidemic levels in most developed nations. Early identification of these vascular complications is essential to inform both individualised treatment strategies and effective national healthcare planning. PP is a peptide hormone, synthesised by cells within the pancreas. Uniquely, these cells release PP in response to stimulation by branches of the vagus nerve, and hence PP is a marker of vagal tone. Fasting PP is elevated in people with T2DM and has been linked to perturbations of body fat distribution thought to increase vascular risk. My research demonstrates that fasting PP is significantly higher in individuals with T2DM than either prediabetes or NGT, suggesting an association with microvascular risk, and shows significant and independent associations between elevated fasting PP and both prevalent diabetes-associated eye and kidney disease and incident progression of diabetic eye disease. Fasting PP was significantly associated with prevalent macrovascular complications of diabetes. In a mouse model of obesity and diabetes, the serum level of PP produced by continuous infusion of human PP over four weeks was significantly correlated with the intra-ocular concentration of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), an angiogenic protein involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinal vascular disease, and with the weight of adipose tissue deposits. These associations were not present in untreated mice, suggesting that, consistent with the human studies, persistent elevation of baseline PP may be responsible. This thesis adds to the body of evidence suggesting that elevation of fasting PP is associated with both microvascular and macrovascular risk in T2DM. Population studies with a longer duration of follow up, and animal studies with a longer duration of PP infusion, are now indicated.

description: Horticulture in Kenya has frequently been equated in the popular mind with export horticulture. Indeed, the great success of the export sector has lead to a relative inattention to the domestic and regional horticultural production and marketing system. This paper reports on research carried out by Tegemeo Institute to assess the size and scope of this sector, with a special emphasis on marketing. It focuses on the major challenges the sector faces and on key investments and programs needed to move forward.

description: We develop a theory of conductivity of type-II superconductors in the flux flow regime taking into account random spatial fluctuations of the system parameters, such as the gap magnitude $Δ$(r) and the diffusion coefficient D(r). We find a contribution to the conductivity that is proportional to the inelastic relaxation time $τ_{in}$, which is much longer than the elastic relaxation time. This new contribution is due to Debye-type relaxation, and it can be much larger than the conventional flux flow conductivity due to Bardeen and Stephen. The new contribution is expected to dominate in clean superconductors at low temperatures and in magnetic fields much smaller than $H_{c2}$.

On the Secular Behavior of Irregular Satellites

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Although analytical studies on the secular motion of the irregular satellites have been published recently, these theories have not yet been satisfactorily reconciled with the results of direct numerical integrations. These discrepancies occur because in secular theories the disturbing function is averaged over orbital motions, whereas instead one should take into account some large periodic terms, most notably the so-called ``evection''. We demonstrate that such terms can be incorporated into the Kozai formalism, and that our synthetic approach produces much better agreement with results from symplectic integrations. Using this method, we plot the locations of secular resonances in the orbital-element space, and we note that the distribution of irregular satellite clusters appears to be non-random. We find that the large majority of irregular-satellite groups cluster close to the secular resonances, with several objects having practically stationary pericenters. None of the largest satellites belong to this class, so we argue that this dichotomy implies that the smaller near-resonant satellites might have been captured differently than the largest irregulars.

description: We have calculated long series expansions for self-avoiding walks and polygons on the honeycomb lattice, including series for metric properties such as mean-squared radius of gyration as well as series for moments of the area-distribution for polygons. Analysis of the series yields accurate estimates for the connective constant, critical exponents and amplitudes of honeycomb self-avoiding walks and polygons. The results from the numerical analysis agree to a high degree of accuracy with theoretical predictions for these quantities.

description: This paper measures the impact of working-age adult mortality on child primary school attendance in Kenya. Kenya is one of the most heavily HIV-infected countries in the world: 13.5 percent of adults aged 15 to 49 are estimated to be living with HIV in June 2000. The paper estimates effects on boys’ and girls’ schooling separately, to understand potential gender differences resulting from adult mortality. Also examines how adult mortality potentially affects child schooling differently before as opposed to after the death occurs. The paper also estimates the importance of households’ initial asset levels in influencing the relationship between adult mortality and child school attendance.

Competing quantum phases of hard-core boson with tilted dipole-dipole interaction

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: Different quantum phases of hard-core boson induced by dipole-dipole interaction with varying angles of polarization are discussed in this work. We consider the two most influential leading terms with anisotropy due to the tilted polarization of the on-site boson in the square lattice. To ensure the concreteness of this truncation, we compare our phase diagrams, obtained numerically from cluster mean-field theory (CMFT) and infinite projected entangled-pair state (iPEPS), with that of the long-range interacting model from quantum Monte Carlo. Next, we focus on the case where the azimuthal angle is fixed to $ϕ= π/4$. Using the mean-field analysis where the quantum spin operators are replaced by $c$-numbers, we aim to search for the underlying phases, especially the supersolid. Our results show a competing scenario mainly between two ordered phases with different sizes of unit cell, where first-order transition takes place in between them. With the help of CMFT and variational iPEPS, the phase boundaries predicted by the mean-field theory are determined more precisely. Our discoveries elucidate the possible underlying supersolid phases which might be seen in the ultracold experiments with strongly dipolar atoms. Moreover, our results indicate that an effective triangular optical lattice can be realized by fine tuning the polarization of dipoles in a square lattice.

The supermassive black hole in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5252

description: We present results from HST/STIS long-slit spectroscopy of the gas motions in the nuclear region of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5252. The observed velocity field is consistent with gas in regular rotation with superposed localized patches of disturbed gas. The dynamics of the circumnuclear gas can be accurately reproduced by adding to the stellar mass component a compact dark mass of MBH = 0.95 (-0.45;+1.45) 10E9 M(sun), very likely a supermassive black hole. Contrarily to results obtained in similar studies rotational broadening is sufficient to reproduce also the behaviour of line widths. The MBH estimated for NGC 5252 is in good agreement with the correlation between MBH and bulge mass. The comparison with the MBH vs sigma relationship is less stringent (mostly due to the relatively large error in sigma); NGC 5252 is located above the best fit line by between 0.3 and 1.2 dex, i.e. 1 - 4 times the dispersion of the correlation. Both the galaxy's and MBH of NGC 5252 are substantially larger than those usually estimated for Seyfert galaxies but, on the other hand, they are typical of radio-quiet quasars. Combining the determined MBH with the hard X-ray luminosity, we estimate that NGC 5252 is emitting at a fraction ~ 0.005 of L(Edd). In this sense, this active nucleus appears to be a quasar relic, now probably accreting at a low rate, rather than a low black hole mass counterpart of a QSO.

description: We propose a flavour theory in which the family symmetry results naturally from a six-dimensional orbifold compactification. "Diracness" of neutrinos is a consequence of the spacetime dimensionality, and the fact that right-handed neutrinos live in the bulk. Dark matter is incorporated in a scotogenic way, as a result of an auxiliary $\mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry, and its stability is associated to the conservation of a "dark parity" symmetry. The model leads naturally to a "golden" quark-lepton mass relation.
