description: In the spirit of previous papers, but using more general field configurations, the non-linear O(3) model in (2+1)-D, modified by the addition of both a potential-like term and a Skyrme-like term, is considered. The instanton solutions are numerically evolved in time and some of their stability properties studied. They are found to be stable, and a repulsive force is seen to exist among them. These results, which are restricted to the case of zero speed systems, confirm those obtained in previous investigations, in which a similar problem was studied for a different choice of the potential-like term.

description: The signature of a spanning tree $T$ of the $n$-cube $Q_n$ is the $n$-tuple $\mathrm{sig}(T)=(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n)$ such that $a_i$ is the number of edges of $T$ in the $i$th direction. We characterise the $n$-tuples that can occur as the signature of a spanning tree, and classify a signature $\mathcal{S}$ as reducible or irreducible according to whether or not there is a proper nonempty subset $R$ of $[n]$ such that restricting $\mathcal{S}$ to the indices in $R$ gives a signature of $Q_{|R|}$. If so, we say moreover that $\mathcal{S}$ and $T$ reduce over $R$. We show that reducibility places strict structural constraints on $T$. In particular, if $T$ reduces over a set of size $r$ then $T$ decomposes as a sum of $2^r$ spanning trees of $Q_{n-r}$, together with a spanning tree of a contraction of $Q_n$ with underlying simple graph $Q_r$. Moreover, this decomposition is realised by an isomorphism of edge slide graphs, where the edge slide graph of $Q_n$ is the graph $\mathcal{E}(Q_n)$ on the spanning trees of $Q_n$, with an edge between two trees if and only if they are related by an edge slide. An edge slide is an operation on spanning trees of the $n$-cube given by ``sliding'' an edge of a spanning tree across a $2$-dimensional face of the cube to get a second spanning tree. The signature of a spanning tree is invariant under edge slides, so the subgraph $\mathcal{E}(\mathcal{S})$ of $\mathcal{E}(Q_n)$ induced by the trees with signature $\mathcal{S}$ is a union of one or more connected components of $\mathcal{E}(Q_n)$. Reducible signatures may be further divided into strictly reducible and quasi-irreducible signatures, and as an application of our results we show that $\mathcal{E}(\mathcal{S})$ is disconnected if $\mathcal{S}$ is strictly reducible. We conjecture that the converse is also true.

description: Microfabricated Paul ion traps show tremendous promise for large-scale quantum information processing. However, motional heating of ions can have a detrimental effect on the fidelity of quantum logic operations in miniaturized, scalable designs. In many experiments, contributions to ion heating due to technical voltage noise present on the static (DC) and radio frequency (RF) electrodes can be overlooked. We present a reliable method for determining the extent to which motional heating is dominated by residual voltage noise on the DC or RF electrodes. Also, we demonstrate that stray DC electric fields can shift the ion position such that technical noise on the RF electrode can significantly contribute to the motional heating rate. After minimizing the pseudopotential gradient experienced by the ion induced by stray DC electric fields, the motional heating due to RF technical noise can be significantly reduced.

The Ecology and Evolution of Ant- Aphid Interactions
Creators: name: Oliver, Thomas Henry
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: The evolution of species interactions is a fascinating subject, and one of vital importance if we are to understand how biological communities change over time. This thesis considers the interaction between aphids (Homoptera) and ants (Formicidae). Ants tend aphids for sugary honeydew and in return provide a variety of protective services. A literature review in Chapter 1 introduces the subject and provides background information. Chapter 2 considers ant- aphid interactions in a community setting. Specifically, I consider the fitness effects of the ant- aphid interaction on host plants. Net benefits or costs to plants depend on the densities of ants and aphids; these densities may themselves change depending on context dependent factors. Chapters 3 and 4 consider how semiochemicals can allow species to respectively maintain or avoid synchrony in space and time with mutualists or antagonists. Chapter 3 shows ladybirds avoid prey patches guarded by ants by reducing oviposition in response to ant semiochemicals. Chapter 4 shows that aphid walking dispersal can be limited by ant semiochemicals. This may be adaptive for aphids to remain in areas of enemy- free space. Alternatively, if levels of kin competition are high limited dispersal could be costly to aphids. In Chapter 5 I consider interactions between invasive and native ants. Ecological dominance in ants may be mediated by the ability to monopolise honeydew- producing resources. Chapter 6 explores ants’ decisions whether to tend or prey upon aphids. Predation of aphids depends on colony demand (e.g. through cues from the presence of larvae) as well as the quality or quantity of supply (e.g. increased predation of unproductive aphids). Finally, Chapter 7 deals with macroevolutionary patterns in the interaction between ants and aphids. Specifically, I identify ecological traits that characterise aphid- tending ants. A final discussion chapter summarises how ant-aphid interactions fit into existing mutualism theory.

description: Candidates for new thermoelectric and superconducting materials, which have narrow band gap and flat bands near band edges, were searched by the high-throughput first-principles calculation from an inorganic materials database. The synthesized SnBi$_2$Se$_4$ among the target compounds showed a narrow band gap of 354 meV, and a thermal conductivity of 1 W/Km at ambient pressure. The sample SnBi$_2$Se$_4$ showed a metal-insulator transition at 11.1 GPa, as predicted by a theoretical estimation. Furthermore, the two pressure-induced superconducting transitions were discovered at under 20.2 GPa and 47.3 GPa. The data-driven search is a promising approach to discover new functional materials.

Characterisation and Neurogenic Potential of Stem Cells from the Human Umbilical Cord Matrix
Creators: name: Vawda, Reaz
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Neural stem cell grafts can potentially repair damage or degeneration of the human central nervous system (CNS). However, the only neural cells reported to provide any benefit to date have been immature neural precursors derived from aborted foetuses. Recent studies suggest that neural cells can be derived from non-neural and non-embryonic tissues such as bone marrow, peripheral and umbilical cord blood, and umbilical cord matrix (Wharton’s jelly). These tissues may therefore represent a more accessible source of cells for therapeutic repair and regeneration of the brain and spinal cord. Furthermore, they could potentially be obtained and grafted autologously, thereby reducing the risk of tissue rejection. At present, little is known about the origin, frequency and phenotypic characteristics of stem cells from the umbilical cord matrix. This aim of this study was to characterise and analyse the neurogenic potential of a potentially novel source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the Wharton’s jelly (WJ) of human umbilical cord, and compared to foetal blood-derived MSCs. Cell division rates determined by serial passaging and CyQuant proliferation assay, senescence, antigenic profiles, and mesodermal (osteogenic and adipogenic) or neural differentiation potentials were assessed. MSCs from both sources showed typical fibroblastic morphology and formed monolayers in culture with foetal bovine serum (FBS). Most WJ (more than 82%) MSCs expressed characteristic markers, including CD105 (SH2), CD73 (SH3), prolyl-4 hydroxylase (5B5) and vimentin (V9). The doubling times of the foetal blood MSCs and WJ cells were 30 and 36 hours, respectively. Furthermore, WJ and foetal blood MSCs demonstrated osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potential in vitro. The neural differentiation potential of these cells in a range culture conditions was assessed with varying results.
The Privatisation of Violence and Security Sector Reform in Africa : Nigeria and South Africa Examined
Creators: name: Isima, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The creation of stronger states in Africa is central to the success of conceiving, designing and implementing agendas that seek to enhance peace and human security. Most states in Africa exhibit chronic privatisation of violence by informal security actors, and this is symptomatic of the difficulties of state building more generally. Security sector reform (SSR) as a tool for peacebuilding and human security on the continent must therefore be part of a wider effort to address the problem of state weakness as well as respond to the crucial (in)security that is presented by informal actors such as militias and vigilante groups. This has become crucial in the light of the human security predicaments that informal security actors represent. This article uses the cases of Nigeria and South Africa to show how the current institutional approach to SSR ignores the critical importance of the nature of the state and the structural conditions that undermine the state-making process in Africa in both analysis and practice. It argues that the governance of privatised violence is central to the need for SSR in Africa and that the enhancement of state capacity is the key to the success of that governance.

Phosphodiesterase function and activity in isolated cardiomyocytes from rat, guinea pig and human heart
Creators: name: Johnson, William Benjamin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play a key role in the control of cardiac contraction. PDE inhibitors are associated with cardiotoxicity, and increased knowledge of cardiomyocyte PDEs is required for improved pharmaceutical development. PDE activity and function were compared in animal and human cardiomyocytes in order to determine a suitable model for the human response, and to generate new insights into the role of cardiomyocyte PDEs. Ventricular myocytes were isolated from rat, guinea pig and diseased human heart. PDE gene expression was measured using RTPCR; PDE activity was measured using a scintillation proximity assay and isoform-specific PDE inhibitors. Effects of PDE inhibition on cardiomyocyte contractility were measured using electrically paced isolated cells. The human cardiomyocyte PDE expression and activity profile was closer to the guinea pig than the rat. High levels of PDE1 activity against cAMP and lower levels of possible PDE5 activity were found in guinea pig and human cardiomyocytes, but not rat. Non-specific PDE inhibition increased basal cardiomyocyte percentage shortening in cells from all three species; PDE3 inhibition only increased percentage shortening in guinea pig and human cardiomyocytes; PDE4 inhibition did not affect basal percentage shortening in cardiomyocytes from any of the three species. Further studies using rat cardiomyocytes found that PDE3 and PDE4 inhibition both significantly increased percentage shortening when cAMP levels were raised; rat β1- and β2- adrenergic receptors were also differentially regulated by PDE3 and PDE4. The functional effects of PDE1 inhibition were investigated in guinea pig cardiomyocytes but no significant effects were measured. Dual PDE1/PDE5 inhibition was shown to have a small negative effect on isoprenaline-stimulated contractility in rat, guinea pig and human cardiomyocytes. This study has revealed new insights into cardiomyocyte PDEs and demonstrated that the guinea pig may be a more suitable model for diseased human cardiomyocytes than the rat.

description: In order to better analyse the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), which is dominated by emission from our Galaxy, we need tools that can detect residual foregrounds in cleaned CMB maps. Galactic foregrounds introduce statistical anisotropy and directionality to the polarization pseudo-vectors of the CMB, which can be investigated by using the D statistic of Bunn and Scott. This statistic is rapidly computable and capable of investigating a broad range of data products for directionality. We demonstrate the application of this statistic to detecting foregrounds in polarization maps by analysing the uncleaned Planck 2018 frequency maps. For the Planck 2018 CMB maps, we find no evidence for residual foreground contamination. In order to examine the sensitivity of the D statistic, we add a varying fraction of the polarized thermal dust and synchrotron foreground maps to the CMB maps and show the percent-level foreground contamination that would be detected with 95 percent confidence. We also demonstrate application of the D statistic to another data product by analysing the gradient of the minimum-variance CMB lensing potential map (i.e., the deflection angle) for directionality. We find no excess directionality in the lensing potential map when compared to the simulations provided by the Planck Collaboration.

description: Accurate and automated gland segmentation on pathological images can assist pathologists in diagnosing the malignancy of colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, due to various gland shapes, severe deformation of malignant glands, and overlapping adhesions between glands. Gland segmentation has always been very challenging. To address these problems, we propose a DEA model. This model consists of two branches: the backbone encoding and decoding network and the local semantic extraction network. The backbone encoding and decoding network extracts advanced Semantic features, uses the proposed feature decoder to restore feature space information, and then enhances the boundary features of the gland through boundary enhancement attention. The local semantic extraction network uses the pre-trained DeepLabv3+ as a Local semantic-guided encoder to realize the extraction of edge features. Experimental results on two public datasets, GlaS and CRAG, confirm that the performance of our method is better than other gland segmentation methods.

Besides, both countries are also currently concerned with ageing cocoa orchards whose rehabilitation is jeopardized by the cocoa swollen shoot virus. In the coming decades, climate change will also limit the areas suitable for cocoa farming. The unsustainability of cocoa production in West Africa will ultimately increase the vulnerability of cocoa farms relying on this crop. In such a challenging context, there is an urgent need to design and disseminate sound cocoa cropping and farming models, able to guarantee a decent livelihood for family farmers while avoiding environmentally detrimental practices. 
This is the aim of the Cocoa4Future project (2020-2025), which gathers Ivorian and Ghanaian research and training institutions, several cooperatives and companies in the cocoa sector. Cocoa4Future proposes an ambitious scientific framework enabling these partners to conduct a broad range of research to i) disseminate agronomically and ecologically efficient and resilient agroforestry systems, ii) promote levers to ensure the socioeconomic sustainability of cocoa farms.
Cocoa4Future combines two complementary and, so far, unseen approaches in the cocoa sector: i) an integrative approach with different levels of analyses: from the cocoa plot to the farm, from the cropping system to the cocoa production sector; ii) a multidisciplinary approach linking agronomy to technology, entomology to virology, advisory services to the cocoa value chain. It acts in areas representative of the main cocoa growing regions in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana and mobilizes networks of cocoa plantations and farms, which are closely connected. 
Results from the project aims at enabling the West African cocoa sector to meeting the major challenges it currently faces while - this time - placing people and the environment at the core of tomorrow's cocoa production.

Collimation, Acceleration and Recollimation Shock in the Jet of Gamma-Ray-emitting Radio-Loud Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy 1H 0323+342

description: We investigated the detailed radio structure of the jet of 1H 0323+342 using high-resolution multi-frequency Very Long Baseline Array observations. This source is known as the nearest $γ$-ray emitting radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy. We discovered that the morphology of the inner jet is well characterized by a parabolic shape, indicating the jet being continuously collimated near the jet base. On the other hand, we found that the jet expands more rapidly at larger scales, resulting in a conical-like shape. The location of the "collimation break" is coincident with a bright quasi-stationary feature at 7 mas from core (corresponding to a deprojected distance of the order of $\sim$100pc), where the jet width locally contracts together with highly polarized signals, suggesting a recollimation shock. We found that the collimation region is coincident with the region where the jet speed gradually accelerates, suggesting the coexistence of the jet acceleration and collimation zone, ending up with the recollimation shock, which could be a potential site of high-energy $γ$-ray flares detected by the Fermi-LAT. Remarkably, these observational features of the 1H 0323+342 jet are overall very similar to those of the nearby radio galaxy M87 and HST-1 as well as some blazars, suggesting that a common jet formation mechanism might be at work. Based on the similarity of the jet profile between the two sources, we also briefly discuss the mass of the central black hole of 1H 0323+342, which is also still highly controversial on this source and NLS1s in general.

(re)Considering Bertin in the age of big data and visual analytics

description: This paper highlights a selection of core ideas articulated by Bertin and leveraged by many researchers over time, with particular attention to how the ideas relate to developments in cartography, big data, and visual analytics. A primary contribution is a bibliometric analysis of the impact of Bertin’s Semiology of Graphics at its 50th anniversary. A briefer bibliometric assessment of Graphics and Graphic Information Processing impacts is also provided. The bibliometric analysis includes exploration of citations to Semiology of Graphics over the entire time span (in both English and French editions) as well as more focused analysis by topic and outlet since the advent of visual analytics as a research domain. Then, very recent research related to cartography, visual analytics, and big data is examined in detail to determine if and how Bertin’s ideas continue to be leveraged and extended for current data representation and analysis challenges. After outlining some limitations of the bibliometric analysis, discussion reflects on the current relevance of Bertin’s ideas, potential applications in visual analytics, and the need for a complement to Sémiologie Graphique focused on interactive visual interfaces to an increasingly diverse array of display forms. The paper concludes with thoughts on next steps.
Cancellation of linearised axion-dilaton self interaction divergence in strings
Creators: name: Carter, Brandon

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The force densities exerted on a localised material system by linearised interaction with fields of axionic and dilatonic type are shown to be describable very generally by relatively simple expressions that are well behaved for fields of purely external origin, but that will be subject to ultraviolet divergences requiring regularisation for fields arising from self interaction in submanifold supported ``brane'' type systems. In the particular case of 2-dimensionally supported, i.e. string type, system in an ordinary 4-dimensional background it is shown how the result of this regularisation is expressible in terms of the worldsheet curvature vector $K^μ$, and more particularly that (contrary to what was suggested by early work on this subject) for a string of Nambu Goto type the divergent contribution from the dilatonic self action will always be directed oppositely to its axionic counterpart. This makes it possible for the dilatonic and axionic divergences to entirely cancel each other out (so that there is no need of a renormalisation to get rid of ``infinities'') when the relevant coupling coefficents are related by the appropriate proportionality condition provided by the low energy limit of superstring theory.

Identification of a Molecular Determinant of Fowlpox Virus Resistance to Avian Type I Interferon
Creators: name: Buttigieg, Karen Rachel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2008

description: Type I interferon is a cytokine induced upon virus infection that generates an antiviral state in neighbouring cells. Historically, research into avian interferon has lagged behind that into the mammalian system and hence reagents and assays are poorly developed. The avipoxvirus Fowlpox virus is naturally host restricted to avian cells. Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) is an attenuated Vaccinia virus derived by serial passage in chicken embryonic fibroblasts (CEF), so that it too is now host restricted. In CEF pretreated with chicken interferon (ChIFN), plaque formation by Fowlpox virus (FP9 strain) was approximately 500-times less inhibited than MVA. A lack of bioinformatic clues within the FP9 genome sequence justified a broad-scale screen to identify any molecular determinants that contributed to this interferon resistance. The 266 kbp FP9 genome was divided into 61 overlapping fragments, each approximately 8 kbp long, to include each unique open reading frame (ORF) intact in at least one fragment. Splice-overlap-extension PCR protocols were optimised to assemble each genomic fragment with a guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (GPT) gene under the control of a poxvirus promoter, between two MVA flanks. These linear constructs were transfected into cells co-infected with MVA, for homologous recombination to insert the FP9 fragment and GPT cassette into the MVA genome. GPT-positive virus was enriched by culture with mycophenolic acid. In total, 65 recombinant viruses were recovered, representing 85% of the FP9 ORFs. Fourteen fragments were independently duplicated to control for mutations that may have been introduced during PCR. Recombinant viruses were screened for an increased ability to plaque in ChIFN-treated cells identifying 2 FP9 fragments, Fowlpox Interferon Resistance locus (FIR) 1 and FIR2. Further recombinant MVA viruses each containing a single gene from FIR1 were constructed and assessed for interferon resistance using the same techniques, identifying FP9.014 as contributing to FP9 ChIFN resistance.

The Moduli Space and Monodromies of N=2 Supersymmetric \(SO(2r+1) \) Yang-Mills Theory
Creators: name: Danielsson, Ulf H.

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We write down the weak-coupling limit of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with arbitrary gauge group \( G \). We find the weak-coupling monodromies represented in terms of \( Sp(2r,\bzeta ) \) matrices depending on paths closed up to Weyl transformations in the Cartan space of complex dimension r, the rank of the group. There is a one to one relation between Weyl orbits of these paths and elements of a generalized braid group defined from \( G \). We check that these weak-coupling monodromies behave correctly in limits of the moduli space corresponding to restrictions to subgroups. In the case of $SO(2r+1)$ we write down the complex curve representing the solution of the theory. We show that the curve has the correct monodromies.
