description: We present infrared spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 1+4/V2116 Oph. This symbiotic binary consists of a 2-min accretion-powered pulsar and an M5 III red giant. A strong He I 1.083 micron emission line with a pronounced P Cygni profile was observed. From the blue edge of this feature, we infer an outflow velocity of 250(50) km/s. This is an order of magnitude faster than a typical red giant wind, and we suggest that radiation from the accretion disk or the neutron star may contribute to the acceleration of the outflow. We infer a wind mass loss rate of around 10^-6 Msun/yr. Accretion from such a strong stellar wind provides a plausible alternative to Roche lobe overflow for supplying the accretion disk which powers the X-ray source. The H I Paschen beta and He I 1.083 micron lines showed no evidence for the dramatic changes previously reported in some optical lines, and no evidence for pulsations at the 2-min pulsar period.

Saturation Effect on Photoionization-driven Broad Absorption Line Variability

description: We study the saturation effect on broad absorption line (BAL) variability through a variation phenomenon, which shows significant variation in Si IV BAL but no, or only small, change in C IV BAL (hereafter Phenomenon I). First, we explore a typical case showing Phenomenon I, quasar SDSS J153715.74+582933.9 (hereafter J1537+5829). We identify four narrow absorption line (NAL) systems within its Si IV BAL and two additional NAL systems within its C IV BAL, and confirm their coordinated weakening. Combining with the obvious strengthening of the ionizing continuum, we attribute the BAL variability in J1537+5829 to the ionization changes caused by the continuum variations. Secondly, a statistical study based on multiobserved quasars from SDSS-I/II/III is presented. We confirm that (1) the moderate anticorrelation between the fractional variations of Si IV BALs and the continuum in 74 quasars that show Phenomenon I and (2) the sample showing BAL variations tends to have larger ionizing continuum variations. These results reveal the ubiquitous effect of the continuum variability on Phenomenon I and BAL variation. We attribute the relative lack of variation of C IV BALs in Phenomenon I to the saturation effects. Nonetheless, these absorbers are not very optically thick in Si IV and the ionization changes in response to continuum variations could be the main driver of their variations. Finally, we find that the saturation effect on BAL variability can well explain many phenomena of BAL variations that have been reported before.

Control of high harmonic generation by manipulation of field parameters
Creators: name: Brugnera, Leonardo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: ?High harmonic generation is a well established technique to investigate the structure and the inner dynamics of atoms and molecules. This thesis describes how the generating field parameters can be manipulated to extend the limits imposed on the technique by the use of traditional laser sources. In this field, with traditional source we mean high intensity, linearly polarised laser pulses at 800 nm. The first parameter to be investigated is the wavelength λ of the generating beam. The unfavourable scaling of the high harmonic yield with λ seems to suggest that high harmonic spectroscopy of atoms and molecules should be restricted to the wavelengths that obviate this problem, and that therefore shorter wavelength should be used. But longer wavelengths, in the mid infrared, present a great advantage respect to shorter ones. The maximum harmonic order that we can obtain is proportional to the ionisation potential of the target and to the wavelength times the intensity of the beam, so a higher number of harmonic can be produced with a longer wavelength than with short, the intensity being equal. This becomes incredibly valuable when the specie under investigation is a molecule with low ionisation potential. To produce high harmonics, a linearly polarised beam is required. If ellipticity is introduced in the beam, the harmonic signal quickly fades out, as non-linearly polarisation in monochromatic beams switches off the mechanism at the basis of high harmonic generation. This is not true if the polarisation of the beam is changed through the introduction of an additional laser beam, perpendicularly polarised respect to the fundamental. In this thesis the additional degree of freedom that this second field implies is investigated by combining the fundamental with its second harmonic and by controlling the relative delay of the two with sub-cycle precision. The key result is that the addition of the second harmonic gives access to the control of the harmonic amplitude and to the time at which the high harmonics are emitted, by simply controlling the relative phase between the two pulses.

description: We engineer mechanical gain (loss) in system formed by two optomechanical cavities (OMCs), that are mechanically coupled. The gain (loss) is controlled by driving the resonator with laser that is blue (red) detuned. We predict analytically the existence of multiple exceptional points (EPs), a form of degeneracy where the eigenvalues of the system coalesce. At each EP, phase transition occurs, and the system switches from weak to strong coupling regimes and vice versa. In the weak coupling regime, the system locks on an intermediate frequency, resulting from coalescence at the EP. In strong coupling regime, however, two or several mechanical modes are excited depending on system parameters. The mechanical resonators exhibit Rabi-oscillations when two mechanical modes are involved, otherwise the interaction triggers chaos in strong coupling regime. This chaos is bounded by EPs, making it easily controllable by tuning these degeneracies. Moreover, this chaotic attractor shows up for low driving power, compared to what happens when the coupled OMCs are both drived in blue sidebands. This works opens up promising avenues to use EPs as a new tool to study collective phenomena (synchronization, locking effects) in nonlinear systems, and to control chaos.

description: Using the dynamical triangulation approach we perform a numerical study of a supersymmetric random surface model that corresponds to the large N limit of the four-dimensional version of the IKKT matrix model. We show that the addition of fermionic degrees of freedom suppresses the spiky world-sheet configurations that are responsible for the pathological behaviour of the purely bosonic model. We observe that the distribution of the gyration radius has a power-like tail p(R) ~ R^{-2.4}. We check numerically that when the number of fermionic degrees of freedom is not susy-balanced, p(R) grows with $R$ and the model is not well-defined. Numerical sampling of the configurations in the tail of the distribution shows that the bosonic degrees of freedom collapse to a one-dimensional tube with small transverse fluctuations. Assuming that the vertex positions can fluctuate independently within the tube, we give a theoretical argument which essentially explains the behaviour of p(R) in the different cases, in particular predicting p(R) ~ R^{-3} in the supersymmetric case. Extending the argument to six and ten dimensions, we predict p(R) ~ R^{-7} and p(R) ~ R^{-15}, respectively.

description: Phyllanthus niruri Linn. (Euphorbiaceae) is a small herb and is categorised as one of the rich medicinal plants throughout the world. This study aimed to evaluate the P. niruri L. whole plant extract (PNE) for secondary metabolite assay (total phenolic and terpenoid content) followed by the potential antioxidant activity (ABTS diammonium salt radical assay, DPPH· activity, superoxide anion (O2−) radicals’ assay, and nitric oxide (NO) radical generation) and antidiabetic activity in vivo and in vitro in streptozotocin (STZ) induced albino mice. PNE showed good scavenging activity with a value of 286.45 ± 6.55 mg TE/g and 194.54 ± 4.64 mg TE/g in ABTS and DPPH assays respectively. In the superoxide anion assay, the PNE caused a dose-dependent inhibition at the lowest IC25 value of 0.17 ± 0.00 mg/mL compared to ascorbic acid (IC25 of 0.25 ± 0.02 mg/mL). The scavenging ability of PNE against nitric oxide showed an IC25 of 1.13 ± 0.04 mg/mL compared to ascorbic acid (IC25 4.78 ± 0.09 mg/mL). Unlike diabetic control mice, the PNE-treated diabetic mice presented significant amelioration of glycaemia and lipid dysmetabolism. Phytochemicals like Astragalin, Gallocatechin, Ellagic acid, Gallic acid, Brevifolin carboxylic acid, Phyllnirurin, and Hypophyllanthin showed significant docking score (> −4) of inhibitory potential with DPP-IV protein. Results indicated that PNE phytochemicals could be a promising antidiabetic agent by targeting DPP-IV.

description: The realization of the Quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) in two dimensional (2D) metal organic frameworks (MOFs), (MC$_4$S$_4$)$_3$ with M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ru and Rh, has been investigated based on a combination of first-principles calculations and tight binding models. Our results for the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) reveal that the out-of-plane (in-plane) magnetization is favored for M = Mn, Fe, and Ru (Co, and Rh). Given the structural symmetry of (MC$_4$S$_4$)$_3$, the QAHE takes place only for M = Mn, Fe and Ru. Such a quantum anomalous Hall phase has been confirmed through the calculation of the Chern number, and examining the formation of topologically protected (metallic) edge states. Further electron ($n$-type) doping of the MOFs has been done in order to place the Fermi level within the non-trivial energy gap; where we find that in (RuC$_4$S$_4$)$_3$, in addition to the up-shift of the Fermi level, the MAE energy increases by 40\%. Finally, we show that in MOF/graphene (vdW) interfaces, the Fermi level tunning can be done with an external electric field, which controls the charge transfer at the MOF/graphene interface, giving rise to switchable topologically protected edge currents in MOFs.
Heavier Group 2 Metals: Application to Intermolecular Hydroamination, C-F Activation and Intramolecular Hydroalkoxylation
Creators: name: Brinkmann, Christine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes the reactivity of different heavier alkaline earth catalysts [M{X(SiMe3)2}2(THF)n]m (M = Ca, Sr, Ba; X = N, CH; n= 0, 2; m= 1, 2) in the intermolecular hydroamination of styrene derivatives. The scope of these reactions with respect to the substrate was determined and detailed kinetic studies to establish rate law and temperature dependence of the hydroamination reactions reported were conducted. Overall, it was found that [Ca{N(SiMe3)2}2]2 is favoured enthalpically (Ca: ΔH‡ = 51 kJ∙mol-1, Sr: ΔH‡ = 71 kJ∙mol-1) however the corresponding strontium bis(amide) proved a significantly better catalyst, likely due to a favourably high entropy of activation value (Ca: ΔS‡ = -168 J/mol-1 ·K-1, Sr: ΔS‡ = -92 J∙mol-1∙K-1). Large kinetic isotope effects of 4.1 and 7.9 at 55 °C for the intermolecular hydroamination of styrene with piperidine mediated by [Ca{N(SiMe3)2}2]2 and [Sr{N(SiMe3)2}2]2, respectively, suggest a rate-determining alkene insertion into the M-N bond with immediate or concerted protonolysis. The methodology used in these hydroamination reactions was extended to simple dienes, diphenylacetylene and an activated enyne. The catalyst initiation of the metal bis(amides) with piperidine was shown to be reversible and the equilibrium constant solvent dependent. Novel calcium and strontium dialkyl complexes [M{CH(SiMe3)2}2(THF)2] (M= Ca, Sr) were used to overcome the problem of catalyst initiation and showed a different solvent dependence. An enhanced reactivity was found for the dialkyl complexes compared to the metal bis(amides). This increased reactivity allowed the application in new reactions such as the C-F activation of fluorobenzenes. Furthermore, the use of these catalytic systems was successfully extended to intramolecular hydroalkoxylation reactions of alkynyl alcohols in the formation of five- and six-membered enol ethers. In this case, [Ba{N(SiMe3)2}2]2 displayed significant reactivity although the “catalyst of choice” for these reactions proved to be strongly dependent on substrate substitution pattern. Through detailed kinetic studies the catalyst, substrate and temperature dependence of the cyclisation reaction were established and an unusual rate law with inverse substrate dependence proposed.
Properties of discontinuous and nova-amplified mass transfer in CVs

description: We investigate the effects of discontinuous mass loss in recurrent outburst events on the long-term evolution of cataclysmic variables (CVs). Similarly we consider the effects of frictional angular momentum loss (FAML), i.e. interaction of the expanding nova envelope with the secondary. Numerical calculations of CV evolution over a wide range of parameters demon- strate the equivalence of a discontinuous sequence of nova cycles and the corresponding mean evolution (replacing envelope ejection by a continuous wind), even close to mass transfer instability. A formal stability analysis of discontinuous mass transfer confirms this, independent of details of the FAML model. FAML is a consequential angular momentum loss which amplifies the mass transfer rate driven by systemic angular momentum losses such as magnetic braking. We show that for a given v_exp and white dwarf mass the amplification increases with secondary mass and is significant only close to the largest secondary mass consistent with mass transfer stability. The amplification factor is independent of the envelope mass ejected during the outburst, whereas the mass transfer amplitude induced by individual nova outbursts is proportional to it.

Identification and characterisation of vaccine candidate proteins in the Neisseria meningitidis surface proteome
Creators: name: Tsolakos, Nikolaos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of meningitis and septicaemia in infants and children. Disease caused by serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y strains is prevented by vaccination using capsular polysaccharide preparations. For serogroup B strains for which the capsular polysaccharide is poorly immunogenic, antigenic proteins on the bacterial surface are under investigation as promising vaccine candidates. Due to the variability in sequence of antigenic proteins, vaccine formulations containing combinations of proteins and protein variants are tested for broad protection against serogroup B isolates. In search for new members for inclusion in multi-protein vaccines, the surface proteome of N. meningitidis from MC58 strain was investigated using treatment of whole meningococci with proteases followed by quantitative differential in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE) of the meningococcal proteome. The majority of proteins identified included known surface antigens and other uncharacterised predicted surface proteins. Quantitative analysis also allowed the assessment of the extent of protease cleavage on the protein population and suggested proteins were either completely or partially digested. Additionally, differences in the protein content of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from H44/76 meningococci grown in rich or minimal culture media were assessed by DIGE. Differentially expressed proteins were related to differences in bactericidal activity detected between immune sera from mice immunised with the different OMV preparations. Of the proteins detected on the surface and OMVs, those able to induce an immune response in mice were identified by immunoproteome analysis. Four of the previously uncharacterised proteins identified by the proteomic analyses were assessed in immunological assays for their potential as vaccine candidates. Recombinant forms of macrophage infectivity potentiator (NmMIP), type IV pili biogenesis proteins PilP and PilO and putative adhesin complex protein NMB2095 were produced in Escherichia coli, purified and used to immunise mice. Immune sera against NmMIP bound strongly to the surface of MC58 whilst exhibiting opsonophagocytic activity and facilitating deposition of complement factors on the surface of various meningococcal strains. The nucleotide sequence encoding NmMIP was assessed across a panel of 106 meningococcal isolates and found to be highly conserved and under negative selective pressure.

The mass-temperature relation and the heat capacity for these black holes have been investigated. These have been used to obtain the critical and remnant masses. The entropy expression using this generalized uncertainty principle reveals the area law upto leading order logarithmic corrections and subleading corrections of the form $\frac{1}{A^n}$. The mass output and radiation rate using Stefan-Boltzmann law have been computed which show deviations from the standard case and the case with the simplest form for the generalized uncertainty principle.

description: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways and is characterised by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), inflammation and remodelling. House dust mite (HDM; Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) is a complex aeroallergen, commonly associated with development of allergic asthma. Animal models have been utilised extensively to model the traits of asthma and HDM-induced allergic airways disease was established in mice following serial HDM challenge via the respiratory mucosa. Mice exposed to HDM developed pulmonary eosinophilia, characterised by Th2 cytokine production, concomitant with AHR and airway remodelling. Following the establishment and characterisation of this model of allergic airways disease, it was next investigated which features of the HDM allergen were responsible for disease pathogenesis. Using genetically modified mice and pharmacological approaches, it was found that the TLR-TRIF signalling pathway played a crucial role in HDM-induced allergic airways disease. Intrinsic protease activity of the HDM extract was also observed to be vital for disease pathogenesis, whereby mice exposed to boiled HDM developed a less severe asthma phenotype. Utilising a pan neutralising antibody directed towards transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), TGF-β was shown to play a critical role in regulating HDM-induced airway inflammation in vivo. Following therapeutic blockade of TGF-β, the numbers of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells and CD4+IL-10+ cells were decreased resulting in exacerbation of AHR and BAL inflammation compared to HDM-treated isotype control mice. However, HDM-induced airway remodelling progressed independently of TGF-β. In conclusion, it has been determined that HDM-induced Th2-driven inflammation, AHR and airway remodelling in mice is induced by multiple features of the allergen and that TGF-β regulates HDM-driven airway inflammation. Thus these findings provide an insight into the mechanisms by which the aeroallergen HDM promotes allergic disease and will aid in the development of potential new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of asthma.
Uniqueness of the Freedman-Townsend Interaction Vertex For Two-Form Gauge Fields

description: Let $B_{μν}^a$ ($a=1,...,N$) be a system of $N$ free two-form gauge fields, with field strengths $H_{μνρ}^a = 3 \partial _{[μ}B_{νρ]}^a$ and free action $S_0$ equal to $(-1/12)\int d^nx\ g_{ab}H_{μνρ}^aH^{bμνρ}$ ($n\geq 4$). It is shown that in $n>4$ dimensions, the only consistent local interactions that can be added to the free action are given by functions of the field strength components and their derivatives (and the Chern-Simons forms in $5$ mod $3$ dimensions). These interactions do not modify the gauge invariance $B_{μν}^a\rightarrow B_{μν}^a+\partial _{[μ}Λ_{ν]}$ of the free theory. By contrast, there exist in $n=4$ dimensions consistent interactions that deform the gauge symmetry of the free theory in a non trivial way. These consistent interactions are uniquely given by the well-known Freedman-Townsend vertex. The method of proof uses the cohomological techniques developed recently in the Yang-Mills context to establish theorems on the structure of renormalized gauge-invariant operators.

Distributed Abductive Reasoning: Theory, Implementation and Application
Creators: name: Ma, Jiefei
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Abductive reasoning is a powerful logic inference mechanism that allows assumptions to be made during answer computation for a query, and thus is suitable for reasoning over incomplete knowledge. Multi-agent hypothetical reasoning is the application of abduction in a distributed setting, where each computational agent has its local knowledge representing partial world and the union of all agents' knowledge is still incomplete. It is different from simple distributed query processing because the assumptions made by the agents must also be consistent with global constraints. Multi-agent hypothetical reasoning has many potential applications, such as collaborative planning and scheduling, distributed diagnosis and cognitive perception. Many of these applications require the representation of arithmetic constraints in their problem specifications as well as constraint satisfaction support during the computation. In addition, some applications may have confidentiality concerns as restrictions on the information that can be exchanged between the agents during their collaboration. Although a limited number of distributed abductive systems have been developed, none of them is generic enough to support the above requirements. In this thesis we develop, in the spirit of Logic Programming, a generic and extensible distributed abductive system that has the potential to target a wide range of distributed problem solving applications. The underlying distributed inference algorithm incorporates constraint satisfaction and allows non-ground conditional answers to be computed. Its soundness and completeness have been proved. The algorithm is customisable in that different inference and coordination strategies (such as goal selection and agent selection strategies) can be adopted while maintaining correctness. A customisation that supports confidentiality during problem solving has been developed, and is used in application domains such as distributed security policy analysis. Finally, for evaluation purposes, a flexible experimental environment has been built for automatically generating different classes of distributed abductive constraint logic programs. This environment has been used to conduct empirical investigation of the performance of the customised system.

description: Comparing recent lattice results on chiral fermions and old continuum results for the index puzzling questions arise. To clarify this issue we start with a critical reconsideration of the results on finite lattices. We then work out various aspects of the continuum limit. After determining bounds and norm convergences we obtain the limit of the anomaly term. Collecting our results the index relation of the quantized theory gets established. We then compare in detail with the Atiyah-Singer theorem. Finally we analyze conventional continuum approaches.

description: We describe the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code CRONOS, which has been used in astrophysics and space physics studies in recent years. CRONOS has been designed to be easily adaptable to the problem at hand, where the user can expand or exchange core modules or add new functionality to the code. This modularity comes about through its implementation using a C++ class structure. The core components of the code include solvers for both hydrodynamical (HD) and MHD problems. These problems are solved on different rectangular grids, which currently support Cartesian, spherical, and cylindrical coordinates. CRONOS uses a finite-volume description with different approximate Riemann solvers that can be chosen at runtime. Here, we describe the implementation of the code with a view toward its ongoing development. We illustrate the code's potential through several (M)HD test problems and some astrophysical applications.

description: In this factsheet we propose to explore the main innovations developed in the framework of “Monti di Trapani”:

The constitution of a heritage resource as a common (good)

The involvement of the community in the management of the local heritage resources and the participatory heritage inventory and the participatory design of itineraries (political arena, open talks and bottom up approach)

Creating new visitor itineraries that make it possible to discover the resources of the territory along a route (most of the time using soft means of transport). These routes also involve local participation in their design and, of course, in their development, thus encouraging local domestic tourism and knowledge of the local heritage; while soft mobility can be considered as an element of innovation to achieve sustainable tourism.

Asthma and occupation in the 1958 birth cohort
Creators: name: Ghosh, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: Exposures encountered in the workplace are a common contributor to adult asthma, accounting for an estimated 10% all new or recurrent disease. Work-related asthma is potentially preventable and identification of occupational causes may lead to interventions to reduce its burden. Currently most information about the burden of asthma in the workplace is based on cross-sectional data or surveillance data and no British longitudinal population based studies have been carried out to look at this problem. This study aimed to identify the major occupations and occupational exposures that are associated with respiratory symptoms, asthma and other allergic disease in the British population. This study also aimed to assess the advantages and disadvantages of using a job exposure matrix in exposure assessment for population based asthma research. This study made use of data from the 1958 Birth Cohort. An occupational history from entry to the workforce at age 16 up to age 42 was created. Blind to asthma status over 80,000 jobs were checked and re-coded to the International Standard Classification of Occupations 1988 (ISCO-88) codes. This information was merged with an asthma specific job exposure matrix and underwent an expert review of the exposure assignment and occupational coding. Several job categories and ASJEM exposures were associated with adult onset asthma by age 42. This PhD confirms in a British population existing knowledge about occupations and occupational exposures associated with the development of asthma in working life. In particular it shows consistent evidence of asthma development in those who have ever worked as a cleaner or have been exposed to Low Molecular Weight cleaning chemicals.

Position Measurement for a Relativistic Particle: Restricted-Path-Integral Analysis

description: Measurements of the position of a relativistic particle is considered in the framework of the Restricted-Path-Integral (RPI) approach. The amplitude describing such a measurement is shown to be exponentially small outside the light cone of the space-time point corresponding to the measurement output, in a qualitative agreement with the Hellwig and Kraus' postulate of relativistic state reduction. Theory of the measurement including the probability distribution for different measurement outputs is suggested. It is shown that correct theory does not exist (for arbitrary initial states) if the error of the measurement is less than the Compton length. The physical reason is that the picture of measurement is destroyed in this case by pair creation.
