description: Secreted phospholipase A2s (sPLA2s) are a group of enzymes with 6–8 disulfide bonds that participate in numerous physiological processes by catalyzing the hydrolysis of phospholipids at the sn-2 position. Due to their high content of disulfide bonds and hydrolytic activity toward cell membranes, obtaining the protein of sPLA2s in the soluble and active form is challenging, which hampers their functional study. In this study, one member of recombinant human sPLA2s, tag-free group IIE (GIIE), was expressed in Pichia pastoris. The protein GIIE was purified from the crude culture supernatant by a two-step chromatography procedure, a combination of cation exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. In the shake flask fermentation, Protein of GIIE with higher purity was successfully obtained, using basal salts medium (BSM) instead of YPD medium. In the large-scale fermentation, each liter of BSM produced a final yield of 1.2 mg pure protein GIIE. This protocol will facilitate further research of GIIE and provide references for the production of other sPLA2 members.
Framework for the detection and classification of colorectal polyps
Creators: name: Hadjilucas, Lucas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis we propose a framework for the detection and classification of colorectal polyps to assist endoscopists in bowel cancer screening. Such a system will help reduce not only the miss rate of possibly malignant polyps during screening but also reduce the number of unnecessary polypectomies where the histopathologic analysis could be spared. Our polyp detection scheme is based on a cascade filter to pre-process the incoming video frames, select a group of candidate polyp regions and then proceed to algorithmically isolate the most probable polyps based on their geometry. We also tested this system on a number of endoscopic and capsule endoscopy videos collected with the help of our clinical collaborators. Furthermore, we developed and tested a classification system for distinguishing cancerous colorectal polyps from non-cancerous ones. By analyzing the surface vasculature of high magnification polyp images from two endoscopic platforms we extracted a number of features based primarily on the vessel contrast, orientation and colour. The feature space was then filtered as to leave only the most relevant subset and this was subsequently used to train our classifier. In addition, we examined the scenario of splitting up the polyp surface into patches and including only the most feature rich areas into our classifier instead of the surface as a whole. The stability of our feature space relative to patch size was also examined to ensure reliable and robust classification. In addition, we devised a scale selection strategy to minimize the effect of inconsistencies in magnification and geometric polyp size between samples. Lastly, several techniques were also employed to ensure that our results will generalise well in real world practise. We believe this to be a solid step in forming a toolbox designed to aid endoscopists not only in the detection but also in the optical biopsy of colorectal polyps during in vivo colonoscopy.

Multiscale design and analysis of CO2 capture, transport and storage networks
Creators: name: Alhajaj, Ahmed
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: CO2 capture, transport and storage (CCTS) is gaining a broad interest as a countermeasure to global warming. The systematic development of CCTS network infrastructure is a non trivial activity that involves choosing the optimum design of the selected CO2 capture plant technology and transportation mode, and identifying the key performance operating parameters and limiting uncertainties that need to be mitigated or optimized to ensure a safe cost-optimal network. This thesis focuses on developing a systematic multiscale modelling and optimization approach that integrates validated sub-process models of the MEA-based CO2 capture plant, compression train and pipelines in which thermodynamic properties were calculated using SAFT-VR with the supply-chain CO2 network model. A number of simulations were performed to analyse and identify the cost-optimal design and operating variables while considering different CO2 prices, flue gas bypass option and uncertainty in transporting flow temperature and composition. A meta model that combines the results of the fine scale model was then used in the supply chain network model to successfully determine the cost-optimal CCTS network for a case study in Abu Dhabi. A key result of the thesis was that the cost- optimal degree of capture is a function of several site-specific factors, including exhaust gas characteristics, proximity to transportation networks, adequate geological storage capacity, CO2 price, and the option to partially bypass flue gas. A higher CO2 price had a clear impact on encouraging higher degree of capture. The flue gas bypass option was seen to be an optimal option for lower than 60% degree of capture. It was also observed that transportation companies should levy a charge to discourage transporting flow from low CO2 content sources. This thesis serves to underscore the need to comprehend the science governing the behaviour at different scales and the importance of a whole-system analysis of potential CCTS networks.
“Inside the School Where 98% of the Pupils are Travellers”: Exploring and Challenging Stereotypes Regarding the Educational Experiences of Irish Travellers
Creators: name: Dalton, Alyssa
Publisher: name: SPARK
Year: 2021

description: This paper explores and challenges stereotypes regarding the educational experiences of Irish Travellers. Using concepts from Post-Colonial Theory, this paper explores the othering of Irish Travellers and how they attempt to overcome the barriers associated with this othering. The author utilises Feminist Theory to examine gender norms within Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and how some women are choosing to challenge these norms and do gender differently. The author concludes that critically examining stereotypes and how they are perpetuated by the media can create a more just society, where settled and Traveller children can be educated together without fears of bullying and racism.

description: This paper explores the role and representation of ethnic minorities and women in educational mainstream media. Two key case studies are presented, namely Dora the Explorer and Black Panther as author discusses the impact of representation on young people. Social Constructivism and social learning theory are applied to consider theories affecting learners, learning and contemporary society. The author argues that society is beginning to see more programmes stepping away from gender and racial stereotypes. Further, the author concludes that theories such as social learning theory will continue to play a crucial part in children’s social and cultural development.

A maximum-entropy method for reconstructing the projected mass distribution of gravitational lenses

description: The maximum-entropy method is applied to the problem of reconstructing the projected mass density of a galaxy cluster using its gravitational lensing effects on background galaxies. We demonstrate the method by reconstructing the mass distribution in a model cluster using simulated shear and magnification data to which Gaussian noise is added. The mass distribution is reconstructed directly and the inversion is regularised using the entropic prior for this positive additive distribution. For realistic noise levels, we find that the method faithfully reproduces the main features of the cluster mass distribution not only within the observed field but also slightly beyond it. We estimate the uncertainties on the reconstruction by calculating an analytic approximation to the covariance matrix of the reconstruction values of each pixel. This result is compared with error estimates derived from Monte-Carlo simulations for different noise realisations and found to be in good agreement.

description: We study the entanglement dynamics for two uniformly accelerated two-level atoms in interaction with a bath of fluctuating electromagnetic fields in vacuum in the presence of a reflecting boundary. We consider two different alignments of atoms, i.e. parallel and vertical alignments with respect to the boundary. In particular, we focus on the effects of the boundary, and acceleration on the entanglement dynamics, which are closely related to the orientations of polarization. For the parallel case, the initial entanglement of two transversely polarizable atoms very close to the boundary can be preserved as if it were a closed system, while for two vertically polarizable atoms, the concurrence evolves two times as fast as that in the free space. In the presence of a boundary, entanglement revival is possible for two atoms initially in the symmetric state depending on the orientations of the atomic polarizations, which is in sharp contrast to the fact that the concurrence always decays monotonically in the free space. Interestingly, two initially separable atoms, for which entanglement generation can never happen in the free space with any given acceleration and separation, can get entangled in the presence of a boundary if they are aligned parallel to the boundary. The birth time of entanglement can be noticeably advanced or postponed for the parallel two-atom system placed close to the boundary, while the maximal concurrence during evolution can be significantly enhanced when the atoms are vertically aligned. Moreover, two inertial atoms with different polarizations remain separable all the time, while as the acceleration increases, the delayed birth of entanglement happens, and the nonzero concurrence can be enhanced.

“Diversity is key for success”: Why engineering needs more BAME women - an exploration of the underrepresentation of Black women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) careers and education
Creators: name: Breen, Mallaidh
Publisher: name: SPARK
Year: 2021

description: This paper explores the underrepresentation of Black women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths careers and education, making the argument that engineering would benefit from the inclusion of more women from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds. Arguing that diversity is key for success, the author reviews and critiques the key theories of intersectionality and Critical Race Theory. Concluding that racism and sexism remain relevant issues in society, the author calls for categories of oppression (including race and sex) to be considered collectively. In doing so, the author argues for the value of adopting an intersectional approach in the study of diversity.

Genetic determinants of the expansion of eastern grey squirrel populations across Europe
Creators: name: Signorile, Anna Lisa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Invasive alien species have long been recognized as a major global threat to biodiversity and ecosystems. A key question related to biological invasions is whether some species or populations within species are more invasive than others and if so, what are the biological and ecological factors responsible for such differences. In this project, I focus on a highly invasive mammalian species, the American eastern grey squirrel, introduced to Europe multiple times, a competitor to the native red squirrel and a forest pest. I investigate whether factors such as genetic variation, inbreeding, genetic drift, and founder effects can interfere with the¬¬ grey squirrel dispersal processes. I used 12 highly polymorphic microsatellites as a tool to address my questions and examined 60 populations from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy and the USA, with a total of 1434 individuals. The results indicate that there is a trend whereby larger founder sizes had greater genetic diversity, less local genetic differentiation, and faster rate of range expansion. Genetic diversity is positively correlated to rates of spread. The results also provide evidence that human-mediated translocations have played a major role in the spread of this species across the UK, and that there remains localized genetic structure reflecting the historical genetic differentiation of original propagules and subsequent genetic drift. Given the existing genetic structure across Europe, I explored the potential application of DNA forensics to identify the sources of new translocations, examining how the approach might be adapted from conservation applications. These findings have important implications for the managing of grey squirrels and other invasive species: good practice should focus on preventing future translocations and the subsequent merging of currently genetically distinct populations.

A solution to the spacetime N=4 superconformal symmetry doubling and other problems is proposed. It is argued that the relevant spacetime symmetry should be based on the middle N=4 superconformal algebra. It is discussed as to why this superconformal structure has been missed so far.

Asthma induced exacerbation of bacterial pneumonia.
Creators: name: Habibzay, Maryam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Asthma and bacterial pneumonias are major causes of human mortality and morbidity throughout the world. To date many studies have investigated the possibility that bacteria exacerbate asthma but only a handful consider that asthma may cause bacterial infections. Recent clinical evidence suggests that bacterial infections cause serious complications in patients with asthma and that asthmatics show a 2-fold increased risk of invasive pneumococcal disease. This thesis examines the molecular mechanisms causing susceptibility of house dust mite (HDM) exposed lungs to bacterial infection. The main finding of this thesis is that HDM-induced allergic airways disease increases susceptibility to Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Furthermore, the molecular pathways leading to the production of neutrophil chemoattractants in the lung are compromised and that despite the complexity of anti-bacterial pathways that are disrupted, the re-introduction of a single chemokine to the lungs with allergic airway disease enables clearance of S. pneumoniae that would otherwise prove fatal. However, a reduction in HDM-induced eosinophilia seen in ST2 deficient mice does not restore anti-bacterial immunity. This deficit in anti-bacterial immunity in HDM exposed lungs is associated with a change in resident alveolar macrophages into an alternatively activated phenotype, characterised by high mRNA and protein levels of RELMα, Ym1 and Arg1. These altered alveolar macrophages produce considerably less TNFα in response to Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) stimulation that is not a result of reduced TLR mRNA levels but due to an upregulation of TLR negative regulators particularly A20. A20 targets TRAF-6 that is found upstream of NF-κB activation. To prove a causal link naïve alveolar macrophages were transferred into allergic lungs prior to bacterial infection; such lungs handled the infection better confirming that alveolar macrophages are important in initiating the anti-bacterial response. Overall our findings highlight a change in specific innate immune pathways in the allergic lung that participate in susceptibility to bacterial pneumonia.

description: We report inelastic light scattering results on the stoichiometric and fully ordered superconductor CaKFe$_4$As$_2$ as a function of temperature and light polarization. In the energy range between 10 and 315 cm$^{-1}$ (1.24 and 39.1 meV) we observe the particle-hole continuum above and below the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ and 7 of the 8 Raman active phonons. The main focus is placed on the analysis of the electronic excitations. Below $T_c$ all three symmetries projected with in-plane polarizations display a redistribution of spectral weight characteristic for superconductivity. The energies of the pair-breaking peaks in $A_{1g}$ and $B_{2g}$ symmetry are in approximate agreement with the results from photoemission studies. In $B_{1g}$ symmetry the difference between normal and superconducting state is most pronounced, and the feature is shifted downwards with respect to those in $A_{1g}$ and $B_{2g}$ symmetry. The maximum peaking at 134 cm$^{-1}$ (16.6 meV) has a substructure on the high-energy side. We interpret the peak at 134 cm$^{-1}$ in terms of a collective Bardasis-Schrieffer (BS) mode and the substructure as a remainder of the pair-breaking feature on the electron bands. There is a very weak peak at 50 cm$^{-1}$ (6.2 meV) which is tentatively assigned to another BS mode.

description: In this paper, the author presents a personal philosophy of education. Consideration is given to critical race theory and the relationship with Fundamental British Values (FBV). The author concludes that FBV must be considered to reflect how Britain has moved on from a white male and heterosexual dominated society. A recommendation is made to implement mentorship programmes in educational settings, whereby older students are assigned a role to mentor younger children. The author argues that the forming of trusting friendships would be a valuable way of removing the ‘them’ and ‘us’ from conversations, instead instilling trust, respect and friendship.

description: We construct the open string boundary states corresponding to various time-dependent deformations of the D-brane and explore several ways in which they may be used to study stringy soliton collective coordinate quantum dynamics. Among other things, we find that D-strings have exact moduli corresponding to arbitrary chiral excitations of the basic soliton. These are presumably the duals of the BPS-saturated excitations of the fundamental Type IIB string. These first steps in a systematic study of the dynamics and interactions of Dirichlet-brane solitons give further evidence of the consistency of Polchinski's new approach to string soliton physics.

Cadmium and neodymium geochemical cycles in the marine environment
Creators: name: Lambelet, Myriam Liliane
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The roles of trace elements and their isotopes in the marine environment are essential and diverse (e.g., nutrients, tracers of oceanic processes, anthropogenic pollutants), but are not well understood yet. In this thesis, two elements and their isotopes were investigated in two distinct marine environments: cadmium (Cd) in the Siberian shelf seas and neodymium (Nd) in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Whereas the role of Cd as nutrient in the open ocean is reflected by Cd isotope data, its behaviour in estuaries is poorly constrained. Chapter 2 of this thesis presents new Cd isotopes and concentrations of 19 water samples from the mixing zone of Siberian rivers with the Arctic Ocean. The results provide the first constraints on the isotope composition of natural riverine Cd fluxes to the ocean and the cycling of Cd in a shelf environment. Chapter 3 describes the method developed to isolate and analyse seawater Nd isotopes and concentrations in the MAGIC laboratories. The Nd isotopic composition of seawater is a promising tracer for ocean circulation and exchange between the continental margins and the oceans. By analysing 12 seawater depth profiles from the Dutch GEOTRACES transect GA02 (Chapters 4 and 5), we demonstrate that Nd features different behaviour in regions close to the formation area of deep water masses compared to export areas, where it behaves conservatively away from continental margins. Besides, we show that upper- North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) and lower-NADW have distinct Nd isotopic compositions, and that the signature of lower-NADW is significantly more radiogenic than the commonly accepted value, which should be taken into account for future applications. Overall, the present thesis underlines the important role that isotope analyses can play in deciphering marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements.

description: We report on the results of optical follow-up observations of the counterpart of GRB 970508, starting 7 hours after the event. Multi-color U, B, V, R$_{c}$ and I$_{c}$ band observations were obtained during the first three consecutive nights. The counterpart was monitored regularly in R$_{c}$ until $\sim$ 4 months after the burst. The light curve after the maximum follows a decline that can be fitted with a power law with exponent $α$ = --1.141 $\pm$ 0.014. Deviations from a smooth power law decay are moderate (r.m.s. = 0.15 magnitude). We find no flattening of the light curve at late times. The optical afterglow fluence is a significant fraction, $\sim$ 5%, of the GRB fluence. The optical energy distribution can be well represented by a power law, the slope of which changed at the time of the maximum (the spectrum became redder).

description: We present an investigation of a large sample of confirmed (N=233) and candidate (N=54) Galactic classical Be stars (mean V magnitude range of 6.4 to 12.6 mag), with the main aim of characterizing their photometric variability. Our sample stars were preselected among early-type variables using light curve morphology criteria. Spectroscopic information was gleaned from the literature, and archival and newly-acquired spectra. Photometric variability was analyzed using archival ASAS-3 time series data. To enable a comparison of results, we have largely adopted the methodology of Labadie-Bartz et al. (2017), who carried out a similar investigation based on KELT data. Complex photometric variations were established in most stars: outbursts on different time-scales (in 73$\pm$5% of stars), long-term variations (36$\pm$6%), periodic variations on intermediate time-scales (1$\pm$1%) and short-term periodic variations (6$\pm$3%). 24$\pm$6% of the outbursting stars exhibit (semi)periodic outbursts. We close the apparent void of rare outbursters reported by Labadie-Bartz et al. (2017) and show that Be stars with infrequent outbursts are not rare. While we do not find a significant difference in the percentage of stars showing outbursts among early-type, mid-type and late-type Be stars, we show that early-type Be stars exhibit much more frequent outbursts. We have measured rising and falling times for well-covered and well-defined outbursts. Nearly all outburst events are characterized by falling times that exceed the rising times. No differences were found between early-, mid- and late-type stars; a single non-linear function adequately describes the ratio of falling time to rising time across all spectral subtypes, with the ratio being larger for short events.

Gauge Symmetry As Symmetry Of Matrix Coordinates

description: We propose a new point of view to gauge theories based on taking the action of symmetry transformations directly on the coordinates of space. Via this approach the gauge fields are not introduced at the first step, and they can be interpreted as fluctuations around some classical solutions of the model. The new point of view is connected to the lattice formulation of gauge theories, and the parameter of noncommutativity of coordinates appears as the lattice spacing parameter. Through the statements concerning the continuum limit of lattice gauge theories, this suggestion arises that noncommutative spaces are the natural ones to formulate gauge theories at strong coupling. Via this point of view, a close relation between the large-N limit of gauge theories and string theory can be manifested.

Pathway and gene-based analysis of genome wide association studies (GWAS)
Creators: name: Eleftherochorinou, Charikleia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: My PhD thesis comprises the development and application of novel strategies to analyse genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the context of functional pathways. I propose pathway and gene-centric methodologies as complementary tools to the conventional singlemarker analyses to mine further the GWAS hidden information. I developed the cumulative trend (CT) test statistic that assesses the cumulative genetic variation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes that interact in the same biological pathway and tests the association between a disease and the pathway as an entity. I applied this methodology to the genotypic data of the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) study on Crohn’s disease (CD), type I diabetes (T1D), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), bipolar disorder, hypertension, type II diabetes, coronary artery disease; I identified highly significant associations between the autoimmune diseases (CD, T1D, RA) and inflammatory pathways; almost no association was identified between the same pathways and the non-inflammatory conditions. I extended my approach to a pathway-based gene stability selection methodology, which selects associated genes in the context of associated pathways. This methodology can be used to prioritise genes for follow up studies. I applied it on two GWAS of RA with different ethnic background and typed on different platforms and I demonstrated replication at the pathway, gene and in-silico functional levels. I finally extended my approach on family trios designed GWAS. I applied it on two casecontrol and family trio datasets of Kawasaki disease (KD). I explored the association between the TGF-β pathway and KD susceptibility. The involvement of this pathway in KD was further validated at the gene expression and protein levels. My proposed methodologies were tested on real datasets and provided reproducible results, which indicates rigor and robustness. I would therefore suggest their application to single or multiple GWAS as a complement to conventional single-SNP analysis.

title: 'And All That Is In Between': A Critical/Creative Exploration of Language, Otherness and The Role of The Contemporary Writer
Creators: name: Allard, Sapphire Rose
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This project is divided into two components; a novel in short stories entitled And All That Is In Between and an accompanying critical thesis. The novel centers upon two interconnected families, each story told from a different character’s perspective and moving between different countries and time periods, encompassing the recent refugee crisis, the Syrian civil war and the Holocaust. The novel’s themes are disability, migration, grief and language, and the novel specifically seeks to examine the role that communication plays in connecting people across the divides of difference. The first and second chapters of the critical thesis discuss the play Children of a Lesser God by Mark Medoff and the collection of short stories, Chattering by Louise Stern. Chapter one looks at the theme of D/deaf education and language supremacy, drawing on the work of Harlan Lane to argue that education has typically been the site in which D/deaf community’s cultural and linguistic heritage has been dismantled through the unwilling enforcement of hearing people’s language and normative expectations. Chapter two explores the problematic use of metaphor in disability narratives, and uses the work of Amy Vidali to argue that D/deaf characters in Chattering and Children of a Lesser God reclaim the use of metaphor from the associations which hearing society have created and perpetuated through literature. Chapter three examines the choices of writers when creating characters outside of their own identity, and the contention that this can evoke. I use my own text as a focus for these questions and examine my own process of questioning and self-reflection when writing And All That is in Between. The thesis concludes by analyzing key the most prominent theme of the novel, the concept of ‘in between’ and how it relates to many of the topics of the novel, focussing specifically on education, borders and grief. It also gives a brief literary review and commentary on decisions in regards to structure and form.
CO Tully-Fisher Relation of Star-forming Galaxies at z=0.05-0.3

description: The Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) is an empirical relation between galaxy luminosity and rotation velocity. We present here the first TFR of galaxies beyond the local Universe that uses carbon monoxide (CO) as the kinematic tracer. Our final sample includes 25 isolated, non-interacting star-forming galaxies with double-horned or boxy CO integrated line profiles located at redshifts z <= 0.3, drawn from a larger ensemble of 67 detected objects. The best reverse Ks-band, stellar mass and baryonic mass CO TFRs are respectively M_Ks = (-8.4+/-2.9) [log(W_50/sini)-2.5]+(-23.5 +/- 0.5), log (Mstar/Msun) =(5.2+/-3.0) [log(W_50/sini)-2.5]+(10.1+/-0.5) and log (Mb/Msun) = (4.9+/-2.8) [log(W_50/sini)-2.5]+(10.2+/-0.5), where M_Ks is the total absolute Ks-band magnitude of the objects, Mstar and Mb their total stellar and baryonic masses, and W_50 the width of their line profile at 50% of the maximum. Dividing the sample into different redshift bins and comparing to the TFRs of a sample of local (z = 0) star-forming galaxies from the literature, we find no significant evolution in the slopes and zero-points of the TFRs since z = 0.3, this in either luminosity or mass. In agreement with a growing number of CO TFR studies of nearby galaxies, we more generally find that CO is a suitable and attractive alternative to neutral hydrogen (HI). Our work thus provides an important benchmark for future higher redshift CO TFR studies.

Scaling Properties of the Ising Model in a Field

description: The dilute A_3 model is a solvable IRF (interaction-round-a-face) model with three local states and adjacency conditions encoded by the Dynkin diagram of the Lie algebra A_3. It can be regarded as a solvable version of a critical Ising model in a magnetic field. One therefore expects the scaling limit to be governed by Zamolodchikov's integrable perturbation of the c=1/2 conformal field theory. We perform a detailed numerical investigation of the solutions of the Bethe ansatz equation for the off-critical model. Our results agree perfectly with the predicted values for the lowest masses of the stable particles and support the assumptions on the nature of the Bethe ansatz solutions which enter crucially in a recent thermodynamic Bethe ansatz calculation of the factorized scattering matrix.

description: We propose a new method to constrain the actual state of the interstellar cloud that surrounds the solar system. Using Voyager UVS Lyman-alpha sky maps and the powerful principle of invariance, we derive the H distribution all along the spacecraft path. Provided current models of the heliopause interface between the solar and the interstellar winds, we extrapolate this distribution to farther distances from the Sun and infer in a self consistent way key parameters of the local cloud.
