description: L'objectif de la série est le maintien d'une plateforme d'observation multi-capteurs au large de Nice. Le projet nommé MUG-OBS, pour Multiparameter Geophysical Ocean Bottom System, est un système de mesures multicapteurs, autonome, largué depuis la surface et posé au fond de la mer. Il est utilisable par grande profondeur et capable d'effectuer des mesures en continu et de les envoyer en surface, périodiquement à l'aide de navettes largables sans avoir à faire remonter la station de mesure sous-marine. MUG-OBS fait partie d'un dispositif d'observation sous l'égide de l'IR EMSO-France, qui complète le réseau sismologique RESIF installé à terre et dont les données participent à la localisation des séismes de la région, en particulier ceux ayant lieu en mer Ligure. Dans cette IR, d'autres sismomètres sont installés dans la région Ligure. Le site d'observation EMSO-Ligure Ouest (Toulon/Antares) est composé d'un sismomètre tri-axial, d'un accéléromètre tria-axial et capteurs de pression différentielle et absolue qui contribueront à la confirmation d'une alerte au tsunami potentielle. Le site EMSO Ligure-Nice instrumente la plateforme de l'aéroport de Nice (CNRS/IFREMER) avec un sismomètre du même type qui complète les autres capteurs installés (piezomètres). Les sismomètres EMSO Ligure Ouest et EMSO-Nice permettent des acquisitions en temps réel. La plateforme MUG-OBS déployée sur le site EMSO-Dyfamed au large de Nice, complète la couverture marine de l'autre côté du canyon du Var et participe à l'étude des paramètres physiques de la colonne d'eau. Les données de MUG-OBS sont récupérées tous les six mois par des navettes, assurant ainsi un dispositif d'observation cohérent. Ces trois dispositifs répondent aux besoins d'observation et de localisation en mer sur la façade méditerranéenne sensibles aux séismes qui complètent les observations terrestres Les stations sismologiques du RAP installées sur le site du CADAM servent de stations de référence pour la comparaison de la signature sismique des événements régionaux.
Optimising innovation in the surgical management of early colonic neoplasia
Creators: name: Currie, Andrew
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Aims and objectives: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the development of full-thickness laparoendoscopic excision (FLEX) as a surgical innovation in the management of early colonic neoplasia. The objectives were to (1) evaluate current approaches to surgical management, (2) explore challenges to surgical innovation and (3) evaluate novel surgical techniques in early colonic neoplasia. Methods: Objective 1: The impact of colon cancer stage on postoperative outcome was analysed using a prospective, international clinical dataset. A decision analysis model explored the potential patient impact of offering local excision to T1 colon cancer. A systematic review evaluted the quality of reporting of innovation in laparoendoscopic colonic excision. Objective 2: A systematic review of patient treatment preferences for management of colorectal cancer was undertaken. A Delphi consensus was formed on endpoints to measure in FLEX. The accuracy of CT colonography (CTC) to analyse local anatomy in early colonic malignancy was evaluated. Objective 3: Feasibility studies of sentinel node mapping for early colon cancer and FLEX for complex, benign polyps were undertaken. Results: The morbidity of colectomy is unaffected by stage of neoplasia. Local excisional approaches for T1 colon cancer could preserve quality-of-life, especially in elderly, comorbid groups. The current methods of reporting surgical innovation in laparoendoscopic surgery are deficient. Patients are prepared to trade survival to avoid surgical seqeulae. Consensus endpoints for FLEX focus on early safety-related outcomes. CTC can accurately assess local anatomical features that will be used in patient selection for FLEX. Sentinel node mapping is feasible in early colon cancer. FLEX is feasible for removal of complex, benign polyps in clinical practice. Conclusion: This thesis has shown that the FLEX technique can allow patients to avoid the morbidity of colectomy for complex, benign polyps and that structured reporting frameworks should guide future investigation of this surgical innovation.
"The numerical accuracy of truncated Ewald sums for periodic systems with long-range Coulomb interactions"

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)

description: Ewald summation is widely used to calculate electrostatic interactions in computer simulations of condensed-matter systems. We present an analysis of the errors arising from truncating the infinite real- and Fourier-space lattice sums in the Ewald formulation. We derive an optimal choice for the Fourier-space cutoff given a screening parameter $η$. We find that the number of vectors in Fourier space required to achieve a given accuracy scales with $η^3$. The proposed method can be used to determine computationally efficient parameters for Ewald sums, to assess the quality of Ewald-sum implementations, and to compare different implementations.

description: BioBaz, Biologie intégrée de Bathymodiolus azoricus, est une série de trois campagnes d'échantillonnage et d'expérimentation focalisées sur les modioles, organisme modèle pour la symbiose chimiotrophe en environnement extrême. Cette espèce, inféodée aux sources hydrothermales de la dorsale Atlantique nord, abrite à la fois des endosymbiotes bactériens sulfo-oxydants et méthanotrophes en proportions variables selon les conditions environnementales des sites d'origine. Trois sites hydrothermaux ont été ciblés: Menez Gwen (-800m), Lucky Strike (-1700m) et Rainbow (-2300m) sur la dorsale médio-Atlantique au sud-ouest des Açores.La première campagne, BIOBAZ Initiale, en 2011, campagne d'une journée et d'une plongée à Menez Gwen, accolée à la campagne MOMARSAT 2011, avait pour but de récolter une grande quantité de moules sur le site le moins profond et de les ramener rapidement à Horta pour réaliser des expérimentations dans les installations à terre de l'Université des Açores, LabHorta.La seconde campagne, BIOBAZ Centrale, a permis d'explorer les moulières des trois sites Menez Gwen (-850m), Lucky Strike (-1700m) et Rainbow (-2400m) pour y réaliser parallèlement la caractérisation physico-chimique du micro-environnement et l'analyse de paramètres biologiques des moules et de leurs bactéries symbiotiques. Un certain nombre de projets concernent également la crevette Rimicaris exoculata, qui vit en ectosymbioses avec d'autres bactéries. L'originalité de cette campagne résidait principalement dans la mise en oeuvre conjointe d'outils de récolte isobare, d'expérimentation hyperbare et d'outils d'analyse moléculaire (puces ADN, génomique, protéomique) permettant le couplage d'approches expérimentales et d'analyses globales.La dernière campagne, BIOBAZ Finale, a suivi le même déroulement que la première : une journée et une plongée d'échantillonnage à Menez Gwen sur le transit de retour de MOMARSAT 2017 vers Horta, et une dizaine de jours d'expérimentation à LabHorta pour compléter certaines séries de données.

description: Most of the world’s languages use both segment and lexical tone to distinguish word meanings. However, the few studies on spoken word recognition in tone languages show conflicting results concerning the relative contribution of (sub-)syllabic constituents, and the time course of how segmental and tonal information is utilised. In Experiments 1 & 2, participants listened to monosyllabic Mandarin words with the presence of a phonological competitor, which overlaps in either segmental syllable, onset and tone, rhyme and tone, or just tone. Eye movement results only confirmed the segmental syllable competition effect. Experiment 3 investigated the time course of segmental vs. tonal cue utilisation by manipulating their point of divergence (POD) and found that POD modulates the look trajectories of both segmental and tonal phonological competitors. While listeners can use both segmental and tonal information incrementally to constrain lexical activation, segmental syllable plays an advantageous role in Mandarin spoken word recognition.
Role of Sox2 and its binding partners in the neural induction of human embryonic stem cells
Creators: name: Zhang, Shuchen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Neural differentiation from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provides a promising source for cell replacement therapies. However, the mechanisms underlying the control of neural specification remains unclear, which largely hinders their use. Sox2, one of the core transcription factors, has been well documented to be vital in the maintenance of pluripotency. However, recent studies on mESCs reveal that overexpression of Sox2 promotes neural differentiation, indicating a dual role of Sox2 in mESCs, which is still unknown in hESCs. Thus, the function of Sox2 in neural specification was investigated. Downregulation of Sox2 in hESCs dramatically leads to non-neural differentiation, while in NPCs, the depletion results in the loss of NPC identity, supporting its important role in both cells. Interestingly, overexpression of Sox2 regulates hESCs depending on their culture conditions. When culture condition is optimized for hESC self-renewal, Sox2 functions to suppress differentiation and enhance pluripotency. However, when culture condition does not support hESCs, upon exit of pluripotency, Sox2 appears to promote neural differentiation and inhibit the differentiation to other lineages. Furthermore, Pax6 is identified to be a binding partner of Sox2 during neural induction and Sox2 binds to Oct4 and Pax6 via a same interface. Sox2 and Pax6 co-bind to several regulatory elements within Sox2, Pax6 and Oct4 genes during neural differentiation, implying that Sox2 and Pax6 function as a complex to regulate these genes. Functionally, an overexpression of Pax6 inhibits the transcription activity of Oct4 PE and DE enhancers, possibly with Sox2. Collectively, these results demonstrate dual roles of Sox2 in hESCs: maintaining pluripotency and specifying neural differentiation upon losing pluripotency, which is likely to be implemented by switching its binding partner from Oct4 to Pax6. This study provides a better understanding in the neural differentiation of hESCs. In the long term, it will be beneficial for stem cell therapies.

description: We introduce a metallicity dependence of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate into the Galactic and cosmic chemical evolution models. In our SN Ia progenitor scenario, the accreting white dwarf (WD) blows a strong wind to reach the Chandrasekhar mass limit. If the iron abundance of the progenitors is as low as [Fe/H] < -1, then the wind is too weak for SNe Ia to occur. Our model successfully reproduces the observed chemical evolution in the solar neighborhood. We make the following predictions which can test this metallicity effect: 1) SNe Ia are not found in the low-iron abundance environments such as dwarf galaxies and the outskirts of spirals. 2) The cosmic SN Ia rate drops at z \sim 1-2 due to the low-iron abundance, which can be observed with the Next Generation Space Telescope. At z > 1-2, SNe Ia can be found only in the environments where the timescale of metal enrichment is sufficiently short as in starburst galaxies and ellipticals. The low-metallicity inhibition of SNe Ia can shed new light on the following issues: 1) The limited metallicity range of the SN Ia progenitors would imply that ``evolution effects'' are relatively small for the use of high redshift SNe Ia to determine the cosmological parameters. 2) WDs of halo populations are poor producers of SNe Ia, so that the WD contribution to the halo mass is not constrained from the iron abundance in the halo. 3) The abundance patterns of globular clusters and field stars in the Galactic halo lack of SN Ia signatures in spite of their age difference of several Gyrs, which can be explained by the low-metallicity inhibition of SNe Ia. 4) It could also explain why the SN Ia contamination is not seen in the damped Lyαsystems for over a wide range of redshift.

Modelling and simulation of flexible instruments for minimally invasive surgical training in virtual reality
Creators: name: Korzeniowski, Przemyslaw
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Improvements in quality and safety standards in surgical training, reduction in training hours and constant technological advances have challenged the traditional apprenticeship model to create a competent surgeon in a patient-safe way. As a result, pressure on training outside the operating room has increased. Interactive, computer based Virtual Reality (VR) simulators offer a safe, cost-effective, controllable and configurable training environment free from ethical and patient safety issues. Two prototype, yet fully-functional VR simulator systems for minimally invasive procedures relying on flexible instruments were developed and validated. NOViSE is the first force-feedback enabled VR simulator for Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) training supporting a flexible endoscope. VCSim3 is a VR simulator for cardiovascular interventions using catheters and guidewires. The underlying mathematical model of flexible instruments in both simulator prototypes is based on an established theoretical framework – the Cosserat Theory of Elastic Rods. The efficient implementation of the Cosserat Rod model allows for an accurate, real-time simulation of instruments at haptic-interactive rates on an off-the-shelf computer. The behaviour of the virtual tools and its computational performance was evaluated using quantitative and qualitative measures. The instruments exhibited near sub-millimetre accuracy compared to their real counterparts. The proposed GPU implementation further accelerated their simulation performance by approximately an order of magnitude. The realism of the simulators was assessed by face, content and, in the case of NOViSE, construct validity studies. The results indicate good overall face and content validity of both simulators and of virtual instruments. NOViSE also demonstrated early signs of construct validity. VR simulation of flexible instruments in NOViSE and VCSim3 can contribute to surgical training and improve the educational experience without putting patients at risk, raising ethical issues or requiring expensive animal or cadaver facilities. Moreover, in the context of an innovative and experimental technique such as NOTES, NOViSE could potentially facilitate its development and contribute to its popularization by keeping practitioners up to date with this new minimally invasive technique.

description: Poultry skin waste is considered to be a promising source of biodiesel. However, this source presents an environmental threat as it is being discharged into landfills without any treatment. We studied the feasibility of biodiesel production from poultry skin waste. Two-step extraction of lipids from chicken’s skin was developed and gave 97.5% yield using the optimum time and temperature. Esterification was then optimised to remove free fatty acids (FFA) where the ideal parameters were 65 °C during 30min with a molar ratio of methanol to oil of (1:3) and 1% of H2SO4. The third step was the transesterification which was performed using 60 °C and 300–600 rpm agitation for 1 h, with 1% basic catalyst and 1:3 (molar ratio) of methanol to oil. The biodiesel (FAME), was characterised using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) followed by chemical and physical analyses such as iodine number, acid number, flash point and cetane number. The total conversion was obtained using above conditions and most of the studied proprieties of produced biodiesel meet the EN14214 standard. This is an extremely encouraging result, offering a good source of biodiesel by valuing poultry skin waste.

Application of Gradient-Corrected Density Functional Theory to the Structures and Thermochemistries of $\mbox{ScF}_3$, $\mbox{TiF}_4$, $\mbox{VF}_5$, and $\mbox{CrF}_6$

description: Density functional theory(DFT) and Hartree-Fock(HF) calculations are reported for the family of transition metal fluorides $\mbox{ScF}_3$, $\mbox{TiF}_4$, $\mbox{VF}_5$, and $\mbox{CrF}_6$. Both HF and the local-density-aproximation (LDA) yield excellent agreement with experimental bond lengths, while the B-LYP gradient-corrected density functional gives bond lengths $0.04-0.05$ Å too long. An investigation of various combinations of exchange and correlation functionals shows that, for this series, the origin of this behavior lies in the Becke exchange functional. Much improved bond distances are found using the hybrid HF/DFT functional advocated by Becke. This approximation also leads to much improved thermochemistries. The LDA overestimates average bond energies in this series by $30-40$ kcal/mol, whereas the B-LYP functional overbinds by only $\sim8-12$ kcal/mol, and the hybrid HF/DFT method overbinds by only $\sim 2$ kcal/mol. The hybrid method predicts the octahedral isomer of $\mbox{CrF}_6$ to be more stable than the trigonal prismatic form by $14$ kcal/mol. Comparison of theoretical vibrational frequencies with experiment supports the assignment of an octahedral geometry.

description: The growing market of herbal medicines, the increase in international trade in Latvia,and the lack of adequate analytical methods have raised the question of the potential use of herbalfingerprinting methods. In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and thinlayer chromatography (TLC) methods were developed for obtaining chromatographic fingerprintsof four taxonomically and evolutionary different medicinal plants (Hibiscus sabdariffa L., Calendulaofficinalis L., Matricaria recutita L., Achillea millefolium L.). Retention time shifting, principal componentanalysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and orthogonal projections to latent structures(OPLS) analysis were used to improve and analyze the obtained fingerprints. HPLC data detectionat 270 nm was determined superior to 360 nm for the distinction of medicinal plants and used dataalignment method significantly increased similarity between samples. Analyzed medicinal plantextracts formed separate, compact clusters in PCA, and the results of HCA correlated with the evolutionaryrelationships of the analyzed medicinal plants. Herbal fingerprinting using chromatographicanalysis coupled with multivariate analysis has a great potential for the identification of medicinalplants as well as for the distinction of Latvian native medicinal plants.
Nonlinearity and trapping in excitation transfer: Dimers and Trimers.

description: We study the interplay between nonlinearity in exciton transport and trapping due to a sink site for the dimer and the trimer with chain configuration by a numerical integration of the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Our results for the dimer show, that the formation of a self trapped state due to the nonlinear coupling increases the life time of the exciton substantially. Self trapping can be enhanced by the sink for short times, but for long times it disappears. In the trimer consisting of a subdimer extended by a sink site exists a transition between states localized on the two sites of the subdimer before for larger nonlinear coupling self trapping on one site of the subdimer is observed. For large trapping rates the fear of death effect leads to an increasing life time of the excitation on both, the dimer and the trimer. The sink site is then effectively decoupled. We explain this effect using an asymptotic theory for strong trapping and demonstrate it by direct numerical computation.

description: We report on finding no correlation between the two strongest observed Solar flares in September 2017 and the decay rates of $^{60}$Co, $^{44}$Ti and $^{137}$Cs sources, which are continuously measured by two independent NaI(Tl) detector setups. We test for variations in the number of observed counts with respect to the number of expected counts over multiple periods with timescales varying from 1 to 109 hours around the Solar flare. No excess or deficit exceeds the 2$σ$ global significance. We set a conservative lower limit on the decay rate deviation over an 84-hour period around the two correlated Solar flares in September 2017 to $0.044\%$ with 2$σ$ confidence. A fractional change of $~0.1\%$ in the decay rate of $^{54}$Mn over a period of 84 hours was claimed with 7$σ$ significance during multiple Solar flares in December 2006. We exclude such an effect at 4.7$σ$ significance.

Evolution of 3-9 Mo Stars for Z=0.001 - 0.03 and Metallicity Effects on Type Ia Supernovae

description: Recent observations have revealed that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are not perfect standard candles but show some variations in their absolute magnitudes, light curve shapes, and spectra. The C/O ratio in the SNe Ia progenitors (C-O white dwarfs) may be related to this variation. In this work, we systematically investigate the effects of stellar mass (M) and metallicity (Z) on the C/O ratio and its distribution in the C-O white dwarfs by calculating stellar evolution from the main-sequence through the end of the second dredge-up for M=3-9 Mo and Z=0.001-0.03. We find that the total carbon mass fraction just before SN Ia explosion varies in the range 0.36 -- 0.5. We also calculate the metallicity dependence of the main-sequence-mass range of the SN Ia progenitor white dwarfs. Our results show that the maximum main-sequence mass to form C-O white dwarfs decreases significantly toward lower metallicity, and the number of SN Ia progenitors may be underestimated if metallicity effectis neglected. We discuss the implications of these results on the variation of SNe Ia, determination of cosmological parameters, luminosity function of white dwarfs, and the galactic chemical evolution.

description: The dynamical properties of exciton transfer coupled to polarization vibrations in a two site system are investigated in detail. A fixed point analysis of the full system of Bloch - oscillator equations representing the coupled excitonic - vibronic flow is performed. For overcritical polarization a bifurcation converting the stable bonding ground state to a hyperbolic unstable state which is basic to the dynamical properties of the model is obtained. The phase space of the system is generally of a mixed type: Above bifurcation chaos develops starting from the region of the hyperbolic state and spreading with increasing energy over the Bloch sphere leaving only islands of regular dynamics. The behaviour of the polarization oscillator accordingly changes from regular to chaotic.

description: Les résurgences sous-marines de CO2 ont été récemment révélées comme des analogues naturelles pour évaluer les effets de l'AO au niveau des écosystèmes. Des études menées autour des émissions naturelles de CO2 des îles d'Entrecasteaux en Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée ont révélé la présence de communautés récifales massives résistantes à de fortes pCO2. Le projet CARiOCA se propose d'étudier ce site unique présentant des caractéristiques de l'eau de mer équivalentes à celles attendues d'ici la fin de ce siècle. Grâce à l'utilisation de ce site, nous pouvons mieux évaluer l'acclimatation physiologique et génotypique des espèces coralliennes qui ont vécu et se sont reproduits toute leur vie dans ces eaux naturellement enrichies en CO2. Cela nous fournira des informations essentielles sur les processus fondamentaux d'évolution face au changement climatique.Le projet comportait plusieurs tâches: si les coraux autour des zones de fortes pCO2 sont physiologiquement acclimatés (i.e. plasticité phénotypique) aux conditions environnementales prévues d'ici la fin du siècle et/ou adaptés (i.e. génétiquement modifiés); le taux d'acquisition de plasticité phénotypique ; l'absence des mécanismes pour lesquelles certaines espèces sont exclues de ces zones de résurgences de CO2.Objectifs de la mission : Notre objectif principal est d'évaluer les mécanismes physiologiques et génétiques qui permettent aux coraux de vivre dans des conditions de pCO2 élevé. Nous souhaitons également comprendre pourquoi seules quelques espèces résistent à de telles conditions (les gagnants contre les perdants). Pour cela, nous voulons mesuré les réponses physiologiques et génétiques des espèces gagnantes et perdantes, de leurs symbiotes associés et de la communauté bactérienne. Les expériences nécessaires pour atteindre ces objectifs seront réalisées au cours d'études de terrain sur les résurgences volcaniques de CO2 et sur les sites de référence adjacents. Un deuxième objectif majeur était d'explorer la possibilité d'étudier l'effet combiné de l'acidification et du réchauffement, qui est un scénario plus réaliste prévu pour 2100, en utilisant le système de résurgences de CO2 sur l'île d'Ambitle. Ce système unique et inexploré (du point de vue du changement climatique) émet du CO2 et des fluides à haute température, offrant l'opportunité d'étudier les réponses des récifs coralliens à l'effet combiné de l'OA et du réchauffement dans un cadre naturel. En outre, certaines photos fournies par le collègue qui a étudié ce site pour la première fois en 1996 montrent un récif corallien riche et diversifié à proximité des évents. Sur ce site, avons réalisé la même expériences et la même transplantation qu'à Normanby et nous avons comparer la réponse des mêmes espèces entre les sites.Représentation schématique des expériences de transplantation sur les résurgences de CO2. Notez la grande diversité de coraux sur le site de référence par rapport au site des évents.

description: We present the results of systematic numerical computations relating to the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices drawn from the Circular Unitary Ensemble (CUE) of Random Matrix Theory. In particular, we investigate a range of recent conjectures and theoretical results inspired by analogies with the theory of logarithmically-correlated Gaussian random fields. These include phenomena related to the conjectured freezing transition. Our numerical results are consistent with, and therefore support, the previous conjectures and theory. We also go beyond previous investigations in several directions: we provide the first quantitative evidence in support of a correlation between extreme values of the characteristic polynomials and large gaps in the spectrum, we investigate the rate of convergence to the limiting formulae previously considered, and we extend the previous analysis of the CUE to the C$β$E which corresponds to allowing the degree of the eigenvalue repulsion to become a parameter.

description: Health-E-Net has pioneered an innovative, low-cost innovation to collect routine healthcare delivery data in digital form. The paper-to-digital approach involves the use of rubber stamps, paper and a computer vision application on mobile phones. This approach has demonstrated both improvements in clinical documentation (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2017.10.014) and quality of primary healthcare delivery in low-resource settings (https://gh.bmj.com/content/4/5/e001422). Health-E-Net is currently contracted by Migori County in Kenya to delivery digital information on all deliveries in the county using a modified version of WHO's Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC). The mSCC forms and have been developed and deployed in 12 county and sub- county hospitals, and clinical staff trained to digitise information entered in the forms. The same approach has been deployed to support CHW screening for hypertension in Malawi.

Temperature Dependence of the Optical Response of Small Sodium Clusters

description: We present an analysis of the temperature dependence of the optical response of small sodium clusters in a temperature range bracketing the melting phase transition. When the temperature increases, the mean excitation energy undergoes a red shift and the plasmon is significantly broadened, in agreement with recent experimental data. We show that the single--particle levels acquire a prominent width and the HOMO--LUMO gap as well as the width of the occupied band are reduced due to large thermal cluster size and shape fluctuations. This results in a sharp increase of the static polarizability with temperature.
