description: Halo Models of large scale structure provide powerful and indispensable tools for phenomenological understanding of the clustering of matter in the Universe. While the halo model builds structures out of the superposition of haloes, defining halo profiles in their outskirts - beyond their virial radii - becomes increasingly ambiguous, as one cannot assign matter to individual haloes in a clear way. In this paper, we tackle this question by using numerical N-body simulations to find a systematic definition of mean halo profile that can be extended to large radii. These profiles must be compensated and are the key ingredients for the computation of cosmological correlation functions in the Amended Halo Model. The latter, introduced in our earlier work (arXiv:1912.04872), provides a more physically accurate phenomenological description of nonlinear structure formation, which respects conservation laws on large scales. Here, we extend this model from the matter auto-power spectrum to the halo-matter cross-power spectra, using N-body simulations. We find that the (dimensionless) compensated halo profile, $r^3 \times ρ(r)/M_{200c}$ has a near-universal maximum in the small range $0.03-0.04$ around the virial radius, $r \simeq r_{\rm 200c}$, independent of the halo mass. The profiles cross zero into negative values in the halo outskirts, beyond 2-3$\times r_{\rm 200c}$, consistent with our previous results. We provide preliminary fitting functions for compensated Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profiles, and this can be used to compute more physical observables in the Amended Halo Model of large scale structure.

description: We present here central velocity dispersion measurements for 325 early-type galaxies in eight clusters and groups of galaxies, including new observations for 212 galaxies. The clusters and groups are the A262, A1367, Coma (A1656), A2634, Cancer and Pegasus clusters, and the NGC 383 and NGC 507 groups. The new measurements were derived from medium dispersion spectra, that cover 600 A centered on the Mg Ib triplet at lambda ~ 5175. Velocity dispersions were measured using the Tonry & Davis cross-correlation method, with a typical accuracy of 6%. A detailed comparison with other data sources is made.

description: In this chapter we present a status report of black hole-like solutions in non-local theories of gravity in which the Lagrangians are at least quadratic in curvature and contain specific non-polynomial (i.e., non-local) operators. In the absence of exact black hole solutions valid in the whole spacetime, most of the literature on this topic focus on approximate and simplified equations of motion, which could provide insights on the full non-linear solutions. Therefore, the largest part of this chapter is devoted to the linear approximation. We present results on stationary metric solutions (including both static and rotating cases) and dynamical spacetimes describing the formation of non-rotating mini black holes by the collapse of null shells. Non-local effects can regularize the curvature singularities in both scenarios and, in the dynamical case, there exists a mass gap below which the formation of an apparent horizon can be avoided. In the final part we discuss interesting attempts towards finding non-linear black hole solutions in non-local gravity. Throughout this chapter, instead of focusing on a particular non-local model, we present results valid for large classes of theories (to a feasible extent). This more general approach allows the comparison of similarities and differences of the various types of non-local gravity models.

description: We present our results for a flavor-dependent EMC effect based on the nIMParton nuclear PDFs, in which the $x$-dependence is described with a nucleon swelling model. The nuclear correction from nucleon swelling is considered through a modification of the initial valence quark distributions instead of a dynamical rescaling. To probe the flavor-dependence of the model, the experimental observables are calculated applying nIMParton nuclear modifications for various experiments: parity-violating deep inelastic scattering on nuclear target, pion-induced Drell-Yan, and W-boson production in proton-nucleus collisions. In addition, we present the expected effect for the spectator-tagged deep inelastic scattering process, which will be performed by the CLAS12 collaboration with the ALERT detector.

description: The aggregate glue of spider orb web is an excellent natural adhesive. Orb-weaver spiders use micron-scale aggregate glue droplets to retain prey in the capture spiral silks of their orb web. In aggregate glue droplets, highly glycosylated and phosphorylated proteins dissolve in low molecular mass compounds. The aggregate glue droplets show a heterogeneous structural distribution after attaching to the substrate. Although components of the aggregate glue droplets have been well analyzed and determined in past studies, visualization of the spatial distribution of their chemical components before and after their attachment is the key to exploring their adhesion mechanisms. Here, we investigated the distribution of low molecular mass compounds and glycoproteins in aggregate glue droplets using the in situ measurement methods and visualized the role of specific low molecular mass compounds in promoting glycoprotein modification in the aggregate glue. The results of the analysis suggest that the constituents of aggregate glue droplets include at least one ionic liquid: hydrated choline dihydrogen phosphate, while the modification of glycoproteins in aggregate glue depends on the concentration of this ionic liquid. This natural ionic liquid does not affect the fluorescence activity of fluorescent proteins, indicating that proteins of aggregate glue droplets can be dissolved well and maintain the stability of their higher-order structures in that ionic liquid. As a natural ionic liquid, aggregate glue droplets from the spider orb webs may be an excellent ionic liquid material model.

description: Supernovae (SNe) could be powerful probes of the properties of stars and galaxies at high redshifts in future surveys. Wide fields and longer exposure times are required to offset diminishing star formation rates and lower fluxes to detect useful numbers of events at high redshift. In principle, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) could discover large numbers of early SNe because of its wide fields but only at lower redshifts because of its AB mag limit of ~ 24. But gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters and massive galaxies could boost flux from ancient SNe and allow LSST to detect them at earlier times. Here, we calculate detection rates for lensed SNe at z ~ 5 - 7 for LSST. We find that the LSST Wide Deep Fast survey could detect up to 120 lensed Population (Pop) I and II SNe but no lensed Pop III SNe. Deep-drilling programs in a single 10 square degree FoV could detect Pop I and II core-collapse SNe and Pop III pair-instability SNe at AB magnitudes of 27 - 28 and 26, respectively. An alternative deep survey over 80 nights with a one-year cadence could find ~ 8 Pop III SNe.

description: In this paper we analyse the deep number counts problem, taking account of new observational and theoretical developments. First we show that the new Bruzual and Charlot (1993) models allow a new class of spiral dominated luminosity evolution (LE) model where significant amounts of the luminosity evolution needed to fit faint count data are due to spiral rather than early-type galaxies. Second we show that the inclusion of dust may be a vital ingredient for obtaining fits with any LE model. Third we compare the quality of fit of both the spiral and early-type LE models, including dust, for a wide variety of observational data. We find that parameters can be found for both LE models which allow a good fit to all data with the exception of the faintest B>25 counts in the case of q0=0.5 cosmologies, where some luminosity dependent evolution may be needed (see also Metcalfe et al 1995). Otherwise both these classes of LE model, with the inclusion of dust, provide an excellent foundation for understanding the B<25 galaxy counts and galaxy counts and redshift distributions in a variety of other wavebands.

Improved synthesis of carbon nanotube grafted carbon fibre: towards continuous production
Creators: name: Anthony, David Benbow
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Grafting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto reinforcing fibre surfaces has been shown to improve composite structural performance, through improved interfacial bonding of the matrix and reinforcement. Sourcing a suitable amount of CNT-grafted fibre has currently limited test coupons geometry and development in the area. The scale-up of current synthesis procedures for grafting CNTs onto carbon fibre (CF) surfaces, using low intensity processing techniques (minimal processing of fibre substrate) compatible with industrial practices has not yet been reported. CNT growth from CF surface (CNT-g-CF) without damaging the mechanical parent fibre properties is a challenge as chemical vapour deposition (CVD) CNT growth typically results in catalyst pitting and surface defects occurring. In this thesis I attempt to address concerns detailed above; through the development of a catalyst system which is easily deposited onto CF, uses a CVD CNT-synthesis method which does not damage the original fibre properties in a potentially continuous scalable manner. I present a simple incipient wetness technique for loading a bi-catalyst precursor mixture onto CF. CF pre-deposited with bi-catalyst precursor under the application of an electric field, using CF as an electrode, in-situ during conventional thermal-CVD demonstrated significant promotion of CNT-synthesis directly from the CF surface. Electric field applied during CVD CNT-synthesis produces CNT-g-CF without apparent mechanical degradation to the parent fibre retaining original mechanical properties. When CVD CNT-synthesis is undertaken without the application of an electric field, degradation of original mechanical properties are witnessed. Batch CVD process was adapted, in an attempt to demonstrate the feasibility of continuous production of CNT-g-CF in a bespoke continuous CVD set-up. Alternative routes for CNT-g-CF including a novel silicon oxide based CNT-synthesis are also discussed.

Concordance of X-Ray Cluster Data With BBN In Mixed Dark Matter Models

Year: 1995

description: If the hot, X-ray emitting gas in rich clusters forms a fair sample of the universe (as in Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models), and the universe is at the critical density, $Ω_T = 1$, then the data appears to imply a baryon fraction, $Ω_{b,x}$ ($Ω_{b,x}\equiv Ω_b$ derived from X-ray cluster data), larger than that predicted by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). While various other systematic effects such as clumping can lower $Ω_{b,x}$, in this paper we use an elementary analysis to show that a simple admixture of Hot Dark Matter (HDM, low mass neutrinos) with CDM to yield mixed dark matter shifts $Ω_{b,x}$ down so that significant overlap with $Ω_b$ from BBN can occur for $H_0 \lsim 75\;{\rm km/sec/Mpc}$, even without invoking the possible aforementioned effects. The overlap interval is slightly larger for lower mass neutrinos since fewer cluster on the scale of the hot X-ray gas. We illustrate this result quantitatively in terms of a simple isothermal model. More realistic velocity dispersion profiles, with less centrally-peaked density profiles, imply that fewer neutrinos are trapped and, thus, further increase the interval of overlap. However, we also note that if future observations of light element abundances find that $Ω_b h^2 \lsim 0.018$, the range of concordance in this simple mixed dark matter model vanishes.

description: Whilst it has long been known that disorder profoundly affects transport properties, recent measurements on a series of solid solution 3d-transition metal alloys reveal two orders of magnitude variations in the residual resistivity. Using ab-initio methods, we demonstrate that, while the carrier density of all alloys is as high as in normal metals, the electron mean-free-path can vary from ~10 Å (strong scattering limit) to ~10$^3$ Å (weak scattering limit). Here, we delineate the underlying electron scattering mechanisms responsible for this disparate behavior. While spin dependent site-diagonal disorder is always dominant, for alloys containing only Fe, Co, and Ni the majority spin channel experiences negligible disorder scattering, thereby providing a short circuit, while for Cr/Mn containing alloys both spin channels experience strong disorder scattering due to an electron filling effect. Unexpectedly, other scattering mechanisms (e.g. displacement scattering) are found to be relatively weak in most cases.

Functional polymers and gels for the purification of phosphorylated and thiophosphorylated proteins
Creators: name: Patel, Chirag Bharatkumar
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Reversible protein phosphorylation is a universal means of regulating many processes in cell such as division, development and differentiation. Aberrant phosphorylation often causes or exacerbates disease progression ( e.g. cancer). While significant progress has been made in the identification and biochemical characterisation of the protein kinases and phosphatases themselves, it has proven significantly more problematic to identify their substrates. Thus, the development o f techniques for the separation and enrichment of phosphoproteins or phosphopeptides is vital to assist substrate identification. Advances have been made however; the techniques remain limited for a number of reasons: 1-3 - Phosphorylation levels are low. - Any given protein may have a number of different phosphorylated forms. - The abundance of signalling molecules in the cell in very little. - Current analytical techniques do not have sufficient sensitivity and thus sometimes miss the identification of minor phosphorylation sites. The results presented in this thesis explore the three techniques of: (1) affinity gel electrophoresis, (2) affinity bead chromatography and (3) molecularly imprinted polymers for the improvement of phosphorylation analysis by utilising polymeric materials that incorporate synthetic receptors known to selectively bind phosphorylated species. The approaches taken towards each technique’s synthes is and recognition of the selected biologically active compounds have been discussed. Furthermore several studies were carried out to elucidate all three techniques’ performances under a variety of condition and also reveal their limitations. Affinity gel electrophoresis and affinity bead chromatography results have shown separation and enrichment in model mixtures and more importantly, in highly complex cell lysate samples. Moreover both techniques ’ selectivity for phosphorylated proteins can be tuned to thiophosphorylated proteins by simply changing the metal in receptor from manganese or zinc to cadmium. Furthermore PAGE imprinted gels and molecularly imprinted polymer monoliths in aq. buffered solutions were synthesised and tested. PAGE imprinted gels using phosphoprotein and phosphoepitopes as templates proved unsuccessful with no improvement in the separation of phosphoproteins. However, molecularly imprinted polymer monoliths prepared using a phosphoepitope as a template have displayed strong imprinting effects for the first time. However, selectivity at the level of phosphoepitopes remains an on-going challenge.

description: An \emph{odd $c$-coloring} of a graph is a proper $c$-coloring such that each non-isolated vertex has a color appearing an odd number of times within its open neighborhood. A \emph{proper conflict-free $c$-coloring} of a graph is a proper $c$-coloring such that each non-isolated vertex has a color appearing exactly once within its neighborhood. Clearly, every proper conflict-free $c$-coloring is also an odd $c$-coloring. Cranston conjectured that every graph $G$ with maximum average degree $\text{mad}(G) < \frac{4c}{c+2}$ (where $c \geq 4$) has an odd $c$-coloring, and he proved this conjecture for $c \in \{5, 6\}$. Note that the bound $\frac{4c}{c+2}$ is best possible. Cho et al. solved Cranston's conjecture for $c \geq 5$, strengthening the result by transitioning from odd $c$-coloring to proper conflict-free $c$-coloring. However, they did not provide all the extremal non-colorable graphs $G$ with $\text{mad}(G) = \frac{4c}{c+2}$, which remains an open question of interest.
 In this paper, we tackle this intriguing extremal problem. We aim to characterize all non-proper conflict-free $c$-colorable graphs $G$ with $\text{mad}(G) = \frac{4c}{c+2}$. For the case of $c=4$, Cranston's conjecture is not true, as evidenced by the existence of a counterexample: a graph whose every block is a $5$-cycle. Cho et al.\ proved that a graph $G$ with $\text{mad}(G) < \frac{22}{9}$ and no induced $5$-cycles has an odd $4$-coloring. We improve this result by proving that a graph $G$ with $\text{mad}(G) \leq \frac{22}{9}$ (with equality allowed) is not odd $4$-colorable if and only if $G$ belongs to a specific class of graphs. On the other hand, Cho et al.\ established that a planar graph with girth at least $5$ has an odd $6$-coloring; we improve it by proving that a planar graph without $4^{-}$-cycles adjacent to $7^{-}$-cycles also has an odd $6$-coloring.

Element Settling in the Solar Interior

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Element settling inside the Sun now becomes detectable from the comparison of the observed oscillation modes with the results of the theoretical models. This settling is due, not only to gravitation, but also to thermal diffusion and radiative acceleration (although this last effect is small compared to the two others). It leads to abundance variations of helium and heavy elements of $\cong 10%$ below the convective zone. Although not observable from spectroscopy, such variations lead to non-negligible modifications of the solar internal structure and evolution. Helioseismology is a powerful tool to detect such effects, and its positive results represent a great success for the theory of stellar evolution. Meanwhile, evidences are obtained that the element settling is slightly smoothed down, probably due to mild macroscopic motions below the convective zone. Additional observations of the abundances of both Solar $^7$Li and $^3$He lead to specific constraints on these particular motions.

description: This study proposed to analyze the effects that sociodemographic variables have on Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) exam passing rates. By analyzing Census data along with passing rates from the Virginia Department of Education, the researcher determined if the independent variables white, non-white, poverty, female-headed household and foreign born explained variance in the SOL passing rates. By using linear regressions for each independent variable as well as a regression for a combination of the independent variables, the researcher was able to show the amount of variance that was explained. The results confirm that variance was present in each test subject and that these results were significant in almost all of the 24 regressions performed.

description: This is the first contribution of a sequence of papers introducing the notions of $s$-weak order and $s$-permutahedra, certain discrete objects that are indexed by a sequence of non-negative integers $s$. In this first paper, we concentrate purely on the combinatorics and lattice structure of the $s$-weak order, a partial order on certain decreasing trees which generalizes the classical weak order on permutations. In particular, we show that the $s$-weak order is a semidistributive and congruence uniform lattice, generalizing known results for the classical weak order on permutations.
 Restricting the $s$-weak order to certain trees gives rise to the $s$-Tamari lattice, a sublattice which generalizes the classical Tamari lattice. We show that the $s$-Tamari lattice can be obtained as a quotient lattice of the $s$-weak order when $s$ has no zeros, and show that the $s$-Tamari lattices (for arbitrary $s$) are isomorphic to the $ν$-Tamari lattices of Préville-Ratelle and Viennot.
 The underlying geometric structure of the $s$-weak order will be studied in a sequel of this paper, where we introduce the notion of $s$-permutahedra.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a global approach of non-dissipative physics. Based on symplectic mechanics this technique allows us to obtain the solution of a very large class of problems in terms of a Taylor expand. We apply this method to the problem of gravitational instability and we obtain a general expression of the gravitational potential, solution of the Vlasov- Poisson gravitational potential, solution of the Vlasov-Poisson system, as a function of time in the context of Newtonian dust cosmology.

Novel fragment library approaches against metalloenzymes and their downstream biological targets
Creators: name: Patel, Neki Vijay
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Rab27a is a small GTPase that is implicated in cancer and other diseases e.g. Griscelli syndrome. Rab27a is post-translationally modified (prenylated) by Rab geranylgeranyltransferase (RGGT), a prenyltransferase (PT). Prenylation is essential for Rab27a’s function as a membrane-interacting regulator of vesicular trafficking. A link between Rab27a and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix proteins, has been established. PTs and MMPs have also been implicated in disease, and selective inhibition of an enzyme in one of these classes may lead to novel treatments for a variety of conditions. This thesis describes the development of a novel library approach that exploits the metal-binding hydroxamic acid (HA) fragment (binds to the catalytic zinc ion in PTs or MMPs) linked to a variable peptide fragment (selectivity element to prevent toxicity due to broad-spectrum inhibition). The peptide fragment, a powerful method for achieving high conformational space, was generated as a ‘one -bead one- peptide’ library via solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), and azide- alkyne ‘click chemistry’ was exploited to incorporate the HA ‘warhead’. This ‘small molecule -peptide chimera library’ enabled the simultaneous testing of a plethora of fragment combinations without the need for the laborious synthesis of each one. An efficient chimera library screening process was established using far -red wavelength dye-labelled enzyme and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) to select the most intensely fluorescent beads (hits) for LC-MS/MS-based deconvolution. PEAKS software was used for the de novo peptide hit reconstruction. Screening was successfully conducted for several MMPs and PTs, and structure-activity relationships were identified. Novel activity assays were developed for two PTs (farnesyltransferase (FTase) and geranylgeranyltransferase-I (GGTase-I )), and the interaction of Rab27a (a prenylation target of RGGT) with downstream effectors, was explored. A fragment library was screened against Rab27a using differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), several hits were identified, and NMR spectroscopy of Rab27a was also investigated.

description: The measurement of the integrated optical polarization of weakly gravitationally lensed galaxies can provide considerable constraints on lens models. The method outlined depends on fact that the orientation of the direction of optical polarization is not affected by weak gravitational lensing. The angle between the semi-major axis of the imaged galaxy and the direction of integrated optical polarization thus informs one of the distortion produced by the gravitational lensing. Although the method depends on the polarimetric measurement of faint galaxies, large telescopes and improved techniques should make such measurements possible in the near future.

Probing the effects of membrane mechanics on MscL activity
Creators: name: Barriga, Hanna Maria Gabriella
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Biological membranes are a dynamic and complex mixture of lipids and proteins, all of which vary in size, shape and composition. The ability of cells to compartmentalise and regulate their contents is in large part due to the regulation of membrane stress and composition. This in turn can alter the behaviour of proteins associated with the membrane. For this reason, understanding membranes and how their fundamental properties can influence proteins in vitro is essential for improved in vivo knowledge, and is also of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry. In this thesis work is presented which investigates the effects of membrane stress on the mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) from E. Coli using a fluorescence based assay. Membrane compositional sweeps were used to control the stress and to prove that changes in membrane stress directly affect MscL activity. Corresponding X Ray scattering and solid state NMR measurements probed the fundamental properties of the membranes used during the MscL activity assay sweeps. Not only were buffers found to have a significant effect on the membranes but a unique result from the solid state NMR data showed that for a specific lipid composition the membranes were more susceptible to deformation within the magnetic field. This result correlates directly with a change in activity observed in the MscL activity assay. This is to the best of our knowledge the first direct correlation between MscL activity and a fundamental membrane parameter. One key result of this thesis is the applicability of the assay and the technology to other systems, lipids and proteins. We present preliminary data for the translation of this assay into droplet interface bilayer (DIB) format, thereby creating a platform technology enabling the study of the effects of membrane asymmetry. This assay is already being adapted for use by other researchers.

description: Robotic systems have subsystems with a combinatorially large configuration space and hundreds or thousands of possible software and hardware configuration options interacting non-trivially. The configurable parameters are set to target specific objectives, but they can cause functional faults when incorrectly configured. Finding the root cause of such faults is challenging due to the exponentially large configuration space and the dependencies between the robot's configuration settings and performance. This paper proposes CaRE -- a method for diagnosing the root cause of functional faults through the lens of causality. CaRE abstracts the causal relationships between various configuration options and the robot's performance objectives by learning a causal structure and estimating the causal effects of options on robot performance indicators. We demonstrate CaRE's efficacy by finding the root cause of the observed functional faults and validating the diagnosed root cause by conducting experiments in both physical robots (Husky and Turtlebot 3) and in simulation (Gazebo). Furthermore, we demonstrate that the causal models learned from robots in simulation (e.g., Husky in Gazebo) are transferable to physical robots across different platforms (e.g., Husky and Turtlebot 3).

Technologies and Methods to Characterise Rubisco Function
Creators: name: Butt, Mohammed Salman
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Almost every carbon atom that our bodies are made of and clothed in, at one point or another saw the active site of the enzyme, ribulose 1,5-­‐bisphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase (Rubisco). This enzyme, one of the largest in nature at ~550 kDa, is also said to be the most abundant in nature, constituting up to 50% of soluble protein in land plants. It is however, notoriously inefficient at fixing carbon dioxide, due to its slow catalytic turnover, low affinity for atmospheric CO2, and its use of both CO2 and O2 as substrates for competing reactions. For this reason, Rubisco has also been one of the most intensively studied enzymes. The potential harvest yield of crops has been shown to be limited by the rate at which atmospheric carbon is fixed by Rubisco. As a result much focus is on studying and engineering Rubisco in order to increase the overall efficiency of biomass production, to cope with the fuel, fibre and food needs of a growing global population. Since Rubisco is one component of a system, the demand for developing tools to study and engineer Rubisco in light of its wider interactome and regulatory networks, is ever increasing. This thesis describes the development of tools to study the function of Rubisco. It includes the development of a novel method for purifying the enzyme using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Different populations of Rubisco were isolated with distinct maximal rates of carboxylation, possibly reflecting differences in hydrophobic characteristics. It also contains the development of a spectroscopic activity assay for Rubisco activity, and an enzyme-­‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for Rubisco and its catalytic chaperone, Rubisco Activase. These tools were then applied to investigate the influence of cellulose biosynthesis inhibition (CBI) on Rubisco in Arabidopsis seedlings, to investigate any potential sink-­‐regulation of the activity or levels of Rubisco. It was found that specific Rubisco activity was reduced as a result of CBI, and rescued by providing osmotic support, thus implicating turgor pressure as a potential mechanism. Finally, preliminary results were obtained which demonstrate the potential of mass spectrometry for measuring relative levels of Rubisco ions generated by MALDI (matrix-­‐assisted laser desorption ionisation), showing that this can be a useful method for use in interactome studies in conjunction with other tools.
