description: Background: Although cardio-respiratory (CR) system is generally controlled by the autonomic nervous system, interactions between the cortex and these primary functions are receiving an increasing interest in neurosciences. New method: In general, the timing of such internally paced events (e.g. heartbeats or respiratory cycles) may display a large variability. For the analysis of such CR event-related EEG potentials, a baseline must be correctly associated to each cycle of detected events. The open-source toolbox CARE-rCortex provides an easy-to-use interface to detect CR events, define baselines, and analyse in time-frequency (TF) domain the CR-based EEG potentials. Results: CARE-rCortex provides some practical tools to detect and validate these CR events. Users can define baselines time-locked to a phase of respiratory or heart cycle. A statistical test has also been integrated to highlight significant points of the TF maps with respect to the baseline. We illustrate the use of CARE-rCortex with the analysis of two real cardio-respiratory datasets. Comparison with existing methods: Compared to other open-source toolboxes, CARE-rCortex allows users to automatically detect CR events, to define and check baselines for each detected event. Different baseline normalizations can be used in the TF analysis of EEG epochs. Conclusions: The analysis of CR-related EEG activities could provide valuable information about cognitive or pathological brain states. CARE-rCortex runs in Matlab as a plug-in of the EEGLAB software, and it is publicly available at https://github.com/FannyGrosselin/CARE-rCortex.

description: In the early nineties several teams started large scale systematic surveys of the Magellanic Clouds and the Galactic Bulge to search for microlensing effects. As a by product, these groups have created enormous time-series databases of photometric measurements of stars with a temporal sampling duration and accuracy which are unprecedented. They provide the opportunity to test the accuracy of primary distance indicators, such as Cepheids, RRLyrae stars, the detached eclipsing binaries, or the luminosity of the red clump. We will review the contribution of the microlensing surveys to the understanding of the physics of the primary distance indicators, recent differential studies and direct distance determinations to the Magellanic Clouds and the Galactic Bulge.

description: We measure oxygen and nitrogen abundances for 14 star-forming emission line galaxies (ELGs) at 0.11 -1.4 like local spirals. These chemical properties are inconsistent with unevolved objects undergoing a first burst of star formation. The majority of the ELGs are presently ~4 magnitudes brighter and ~0.5 dex more metal-rich than the bulk of the stars in well-known metal-poor dwarf spheroidals such as NGC 205 and NGC 185, making an evolution between some ELGs and metal-poor dwarf spheroidals improbable. However, the data are consistent with the hypothesis that more luminous and metal-rich spheroidal galaxies like NGC 3605 may become the evolutionary endpoints of some ELGs. [abridged]

Coronary flow abnormalities in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Creators: name: Raphael, Claire
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) affects 1 in 500 of the general population. Patients commonly suffer from angina, exhibit abnormal coronary flow patterns and have impaired myocardial perfusion. Wave intensity analysis (WIA) allows improved understanding of how myocardial mechanics result in impaired coronary flow. We used WIA to describe these mechanisms in HCM. We developed a new sequence for measurement of coronary flow velocity using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and tested its utility for non-invasive coronary WIA. Patients with HCM had a lower coronary flow reserve than controls and 30% had systolic reversal of flow. During early systole, HCM patients had a much larger fractional backward compression wave compared to controls (38.2±11.1% versus 21.0±6.2%, p<0.001). Patients with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction had a bisferiens pressure waveform resulting in an additional proximally originating deceleration wave during systole. These changes correlated with the severity of myocardial perfusion impairment. Perfusion abnormalities in HCM are therefore not simply a consequence of supply/demand mismatch or remodelling of the intra-myocardial blood vessels but represent a dynamic interaction with myocardial mechanics. We developed a retrospectively-gated breath-hold spiral phase velocity mapping sequence with high temporal resolution for measurement of flow velocity in the proximal coronary arteries using CMR and validated this against invasive measurement. CMR velocities were approximately 40% of the invasive values. Plots of MR velocities at any time point in the cardiac cycle against Doppler velocities in individual vessels showed a linear relationship with high R2 values (mean ± SD: 0.8± 0.1). Combination of the velocity data with pressure data derived from aortic distension produced the expected pattern of forward and backward compression and expansion waves seen in coronary arteries with comparable intra-study reproducibility to invasive WIA. Although only tested in small numbers, if validated this technique would expand the accessible patient population for WIA.

description: The Emission Line Galaxy survey made by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey will be created from five passes of the instrument on the sky. On each pass, the constrained mobility of the ends of the fibres in the DESI focal plane means that the angular-distribution of targets that can be observed is limited. Thus, the clustering of samples constructed using a limited number of passes will be strongly affected by missing targets. In two recent papers, we showed how the effect of missing galaxies can be corrected when calculating the correlation function using a weighting scheme for pairs. Using mock galaxy catalogues we now show that this method provides an unbiased estimator of the true correlation function for the DESI survey after any number of passes. We use multiple mocks to determine the expected errors given one to four passes, compared to an idealised survey observing an equivalent number of randomly selected targets. On BAO scales, we find that the error is a factor 2 worse after one pass, but that after three or more passes, the errors are very similar. Thus we find that the fibre assignment strategy enforced by the design of DESI will not affect the cosmological measurements to be made by the survey, and can be removed as a potential risk for this experiment.

The image enhanced operating environment in robot assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy
Creators: name: Hughes-Hallett, Archie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: In the last twenty-five years surgical practice has undergone radical change. Although this change has heralded improved patient outcomes it has also presented a new set of problems centred around the reduction in sensory inputs received by the modern surgeon. A potential solution to mitigate for this sensory loss is image guidance. The thesis has its heart four guiding aims: 1) To define the window of opportunity for the development of an image guidance platform for intra-abdominal MIS. 2) To establish whether there is a user need for image guidance in RAPN. 3) To better understand the fundamental safety and behavioural implications of the implementation of an IEOE. 4) To develop and validate a novel approach to image guidance in partial nephrectomy, utilising the preceding evidence base to inform this development. The first of these aims was met, through the development of a novel metric of innovation, with the growth potential of image guidance in abdominal surgical oncology subsequently examined. The second was addressed using a qualitative survey of robotic urologists. These two studies demonstrated that image guidance in intra-abdominal surgery lies in a period of rapid innovation growth, and that demand exists for image guidance in partial nephrectomy amongst the target population. In order to meet the third of the outlined aims, two potential drawbacks of augmenting the surgeon’s intraoperative view were examined, namely: inattention blindness, and the reliability and accuracy of the most commonly used method of image preparation: segmentation. Prior to the development of the platform the limitations of existing research platforms were examined and the problems needing to be addressed for efficacious image guidance were defined as part of a systematic review into image guidance in RAPN. These problems can be distilled down to issues pertaining to: image preparation, registration, deformation compensation, and display. Informed by this review and the findings of the previous thesis chapters a dual modality platform was developed capitalising on the respective strengths of pre- and intraoperative 4 imaging to deliver an image guidance solution offering significant benefit for both planning and execution phases. Overall, this thesis has systematically devised, and evidenced a first generation dual modality image guidance platform for partial nephrectomy, meeting the differing guidance needs for specific operative steps.
Determining the effect of treatment with an exogenous host defence peptide on Mycobacterium marinum-zebrafish infection
Creators: name: Price, Rebecca Louise
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: We urgently require novel antimicrobial therapies for TB infections as a third of the world’s population is infected with latent TB and cases of multidrug-resistant TB are increasing. Naturally occurring host defence peptides (HDPs), components of the innate immune system, provide protection against infections in vivo through their direct antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. The effect of one HDP, bovine bactenecin-5 (Bac5), on mycobacterial infections was investigated in this study using the M. marinum-zebrafish TB infection model. Bacterial two-component systems (TCSs) regulate gene expression in response to external environmental changes, controlling physiological processes including virulence. Generation of TCSs deletion mutants in Mycobacterium marinum was attempted, unsuccessfully, by mycobacteria-adapted recombineering and sucrose counter-selection, with a view to studying the effects of targeting these systems during mycobacterial infections using zebrafish as a model organism. The M. marinum-zebrafish embryo model permits the monitoring of pathogenesis in real time through live-imaging. Bacterial Distance Distribution and Fluorescent Pixel Count protocols were developed or optimised in Icy to quantify bacterial dissemination and bacterial burden from images of zebrafish embryo infections using fluorescently labelled bacterial strains. These techniques, coupled with zebrafish leukocyte recruitment quantification using transgenic zebrafish lines and our image processing protocol, permit simultaneous analysis of multiple infection progression parameters during longitudinal studies. Injection with exogenous Bac5 alone and co-injection with M. marinum led to a significant initial increase in macrophage recruitment to the zebrafish injection site. We also observed trends following injections of zebrafish embryos with Bac5 for increased initial neutrophil recruitment, increased expression of the chemokine cxcl-c1c and pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and MMP-9, and reduced M. marinum burdens. These results provide a basis for further investigations into the efficacy of Bac5 treatment of mycobacterial infections, in particular the optimal timings and dosage, with a view to using this exogenous HDP to treat human TB infections.

description: Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic gas that is almost always present in the processing of crude oil or natural gas and must be removed. In addition, hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier if it can be separated from H2S. In this work, as the first step of a reaction cycle that could achieve just that, the bromination and chlorination of hydrogen sulfide are experimentally studied. It can be shown that both halogens are capable of completely converting hydrogen sulfide in a gas phase reaction. While the chlorination can produce byproducts, the bromination is free of such.

description: In the current work, we have implemented an extension of the standard Gaussian Process formalism, namely the Multi-Task Gaussian Process with the ability to perform a joint learning of several cosmological data simultaneously. We have utilised the "low-redshift" expansion rate data from Supernovae Type-Ia (SN), Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) and Cosmic Chronometers (CC) data in a joint analysis. We have tested several possible models of covariance functions and find very consistent estimates for cosmologically relevant parameters. In the current formalism, we also find provisions for heuristic arguments which allow us to select the best-suited kernel for the reconstruction of expansion rate data. We also utilised our method to account for systematics in CC data and find an estimate of $H_0 = 68.52^{+0.94 + 2.51 (sys)}_{-0.94} $ $\textrm{km/s Mpc}^{-1}$ and a corresponding $r_d = 145.61^{+2.82}_{ - 2.82 - 4.3 (sys)} $ Mpc as our primary result. Subsequently, we find constraints on the present deceleration parameter $q_0 = -0.52 \pm 0.06$ and the transition redshift $z_T = 0.64^{+0.12}_{-0.09}$. All the estimated cosmological parameters are found to be in good agreement with the standard $Λ$CDM scenario. Including the local model-independent $H_0$ estimate to the analysis we find $H_0 = 71.40^{ + 0.30 + 1.65 (sys)}_{- 0.30 } $ $\textrm{km/s Mpc}^{-1}$ and the corresponding $r_d = 141.29^{ + 1.31 }_{-1.31-2.63 (sys)}$ Mpc. Also, the constraints on $r_d H_0$ remain consistent throughout our analysis and also with the model-dependent CMB estimate. Using the $\mathcal{O}m(z)$ diagnostic, we find that the concordance model is very consistent within the redshift range $z \lesssim 2$ and mildly discrepant for $z \gtrsim 2$.

description: We have conducted the first survey for Oxygen VI $λλ1032,1038$ absorption lines in QSO spectra. We used medium resolution ($R \approx 1300$) high signal-to-noise ($\approx 20$) Faint Object Spectrograph spectra of 11 QSOs ($0.53\leq$\zem$\leq2.08$) from the Hubble Space Telescope Archive. We use simulated spectra to determine the significance of the line identifications, which lie exclusively in the \Lya forest. We found 12 O~VI doublets of which 9 are expected to be real and 6 constitute a uniform sample with both lines exceeding a rest equivalent width of $W_r =0.21$ Å. The number of O~VI doublets per unit redshift at a mean absorption redshift of $z_{ave} = 0.9$ is $\langle N(z)\rangle = 1.0 \pm0.6$, which is similar to the density of C~IV and Mg~II absorbers.

description: We present a new technique for detecting structure on Mpc scales in the Lyman-alpha forest. The technique is easy to apply in practice since it does not involve absorption line fitting but is rather based on the statistics of the transmitted flux. It identifies and assesses the statistical significance of regions of over- or underdense Lyman-alpha absorption and is fairly insensitive to the quality of the data. Using extensive simulations we demonstrate that the new method is significantly more sensitive to the detection of large-scale structure in the Lyman-alpha forest than a traditional two-point correlation function analysis of fitted absorption lines.

description: We develop a Hamiltonian-based microscopic description of laser pump induced displacive coherent phonons. The theory captures the feedback of the phonon excitation upon the electronic fluid, which is missing in the state-of-the-art phenomenological formulation. We show that this feedback leads to chirping at short time scales, even if the phonon motion is harmonic. At long times this feedback appears as a finite phase in the oscillatory signal. We apply the theory to BaFe$_2$As$_2$, explain the origin of the phase in the oscillatory signal reported in recent experiments, and we predict that the system will exhibit red-shifted chirping at larger fluence. Our theory also opens the possibility to extract equilibrium information from coherent phonon dynamics.

description: The present study examines the hypothesis that mature female blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, do not have a terminal anecdysis. Induced molting via eyestalk ablation, size frequency distributions and gonad and limb regeneration indices from field collected animals are used as indicators of potential post maturity molts.

Eyestalk ablation of mature females resulted in ecdysis approximately 51 days after ablation, indicating a physiological ability if mature females to complete ecdysis. Analysis of size frequency distributions indicates two distinct shifts from smaller to larger females, one in early spring and a second in early fall. While migration of larger females into the study area can not be ruled out, the data suggest molting activity within the sample population, 11.2% of the animals had regenerating limb buds (R - 0.5 to 5.4). Formation of limb buds is not encountered in species known to have a terminal molt at maturity.
Stochastic control problems in energy markets
Creators: name: Safarov, Nemat
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: In this thesis we analyse stochastic control problems for the valuation of a natural gas storage facility and natural gas-fi red power station while taking into account their operating characteristics. In the gas storage problem the underlying spot price dynamics is a mean-reverting process driven by a time-inhomogeneous Levy process. For the power valuation both electricity and gas spot price processes exhibit mean-reverting spikes and Markov regime-switches. The Levy regime-switching model incorporates the effects of demand-supply uctuations in energy markets and abrupt economic disruptions or business cycles. We make use of skewed Levy copulas to model the dependence risk of electricity and gas jumps. The corresponding HJB equations are solved by an explicit finite difference method. The numerical approach gives us both the values of the facilities and their optimal operating strategies depending on the gas and electricity prices, storage level, current temperature of the boiler and time. The surfaces of control strategies and contract values are obtained by implementing the numerical method for particular examples.
A non-parametric and scale-independent method for cluster analysis II: the multivariate case
Creators: name: Pisani, Armando
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A general method is described for detecting and analysing galaxy systems. The multivariate geometrical structure of the sample is studied by using an extension of the method which we introduced in a previous paper. The method is based on an estimate of the probability density underlying a data sample. The density is estimated by using an iterative and adaptive kernel estimator. The used kernels have spherical symmetry, however we describe a method in order to estimate the locally optimal shape of the kernels. We use the results of the geometrical structure analysis in order to study the effects that is has on the cluster parameter estimate. This suggests a possible way to distinguish between structure and substructure within a sample. The method is tested by using simulated numerical models and applied to two galaxy samples taken from the literature. The results obtained for the Coma cluster suggest a core-halo structure formed by a large number of geometrically independent systems. A different conclusion is suggested by the results for the Cancer cluster indicating the presence of at least two independent structures both containing substructure. The dynamical consequences of the results obtained from the geometrical analysis will be described in a later paper. Further applications of the method are suggested and are currently in progress.

description: We have analyzed the ASCA SIS and GIS data for seventeen groups and determined the average temperature and abundance of the hot x-ray emitting gas. For groups with gas temperatures less than 1.5 keV we find that the abundance is correlated with the gas temperature and luminosity. We have also determined the abundance of the alpha-elements and iron independently for those groups with sufficient counts. We find that for the cool groups (i.e. kT <1.5 keV) the ratio of alpha-elements to iron is ~1, about half that seen in clusters. Spectral fits with the S, Si and Fe abundances allowed to vary separately suggest the S/Fe ratio is similar to that seen in clusters while the Si/Fe ratio in groups is half the value determined for richer systems. The mass of metals per unit blue luminosity drops rapidly in groups as the temperature drops. There are two possible explanations for this decrease. One is that the star formation in groups is very different from that in rich clusters. The other explanation is that groups lose much of their enriched material via winds during the early evolution of ellipticals. If the latter is true, we find that poor groups will have contributed significantly (roughly 1/3 of the metals) to the enrichment of the intergalactic medium.

Novel polymer stabilised emulsions as reaction vessels and for particle synthesis
Creators: name: Ur Rehman, Saif

description: This project is divided into three parts. In the first part control and selectivity over inter-droplet interactions was demonstrated. This was achieved by two type of pH responsive polymeric surfactants: cationic PDMAEMA based and anionic PSHEMA based branched copolymers. These surfactants were synthesised by thiol-regulated free-radical branching polymerisation. They showed excellent capability in inducing selective electrostatic assembly to the emulsion system triggered by change in pH. This controlled aggregation was easily reversed with the change in solution pH back to basic. Stability and aggregation of the emulsion system was characterised using laser diffraction and zeta potential. The results show that both cationic and anionic emulsions are stable, remain non-responsive and demonstrate no significant change in droplet size diameter at different pH if present in separate systems. Selective aggregation and increase in droplet size diameter was observed when both emulsions were mixed at pH2. Images obtained from confocal microscopy were in good agreement with laser diffraction and zeta potential data about the size of droplets. In the second and third part, the effects of polymeric surfactants in the fabrication of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanoparticles and their optical properties were studied. Herein the solvent emulsion evaporation technique was exploited to fabricate P3HT nanoparticles of different sizes and tailor their optical properties. Linear triblock and star-block copolymers of different molecular weights and architectures were used to facilitate the fabrication of P3HT nanoparticles. Experiments confirmed that the molecular weight does affect the stability of the emulsion and ultimately the size and properties of nanoparticles. The P3HT particle size ranged from 170nm to 900 nm depending upon the molecular weight of the polymeric surfactant used during fabrication. The dispersion colour ranged from deep purple to violet red, which was also confirmed by UV-Vis characterisation. Characteristic peaks of P3HT were observed in all particles. The intensities of these peaks were different to each other, largely due to the size and morphology of the particles in solution. It was also noted that these particles showed strong fluorescence around 670 nm wavelengths. We have shown that it is possible to fabricate nanoparticles with pre-defined size and characteristics.

The contribution of environmental selection on microbial community structure, function and biogeography
Creators: name: Mombrikotb, Shorok Bashir

description: Agriculture, which accounts for approximately 75% of land use in the UK, relies on microbial communities for many key processes. Despite their importance to the sustainability of agriculture, our understanding of the long-term effects of agricultural practices on soil microbial communities is limited. Agricultural practices not only alter many edaphic variables such as nutrient content and pH, they also introduce chemical stressors such as pesticides to the soil environment. In the UK, approximately 2x105 kg of insecticides and molluscicides are applied each year, with only 0.1% reaching target organisms. Using a long-term (>20 years), fully-factorial grassland field experiment (Nash’s Field), along with a series of microcosm experiment, this thesis assessed the impact of anthropogenic activity, particularly liming and pesticide application, on soil microbial community structure, functioning, and biogeography. Microcosm experiments indicated a direct impact of pesticides on soil bacterial community structure and metabolic activity. Findings highlighted an asymmetric interaction between pH and pesticide, and indicated that shifts in bacterial community structure were pesticide specific. These results were mirrored in long-term exposure to pesticide, which also significantly altered both community structure and functioning. These commonly used agricultural practices significantly reduced the gradient of the distance-decay relationship, creating increasingly similar communities by way of environmental selection. Given the link between community structure and functioning, anthropogenic induced disturbances pose a serious threat to agricultural sustainability as well as potentially altering landscape heterogeneity.
A Systematic Analysis of Perturbations for Hexagonal Mixing Matrix

description: We present a systematic analysis of perturbative Hexagonal(HG) mixing for describing recent global fit neutrino mixing data with normal and inverted hierarchy. The corrections to unperturbed mixing are parameterized in terms of small orthogonal rotations (R) with modified PMNS matrix of the forms \big($R_{αβ}^l\cdot V_{HG},~V_{HG}\cdot R_{αβ}^r,~V_{HG}\cdot R_{αβ}^r \cdot R_{γδ}^r,~R_{αβ}^l \cdot R_{γδ}^l \cdot V_{HG}$,~$R_{αβ}^l\cdot V_{HG}\cdot R_{γδ}^r$\big ). Here $R_{αβ}^{l, r}$ is rotation in ij sector and $V_{HG}$ is unperturbed Hexagonal mixing matrix. The detailed numerical investigation of all possible cases is performed with scanning of parameter space using $χ^2$ approach. We found that the perturbative schemes governed by single rotation are unable to fit the mixing angle data even at $3σ$ level. The mixing schemes which involves two rotation matrices, only \big($R_{12}^l \cdot R_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG}$, ~$R_{13}^l \cdot R_{12}^l \cdot V_{HG}$,~$R_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{12}^r$,~$R_{12}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{12}^r$, ~$R_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{13}^r$\big ) are successful in fitting all neutrino mixing angles within $1σ$ range for normal hierarchy(NH). However for inverted hierarchy(IH), only $R_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{13}^r$ is most preferable as it can fit all mixing angles at $1σ$ level. The remaining perturbative cases are either excluded at 3$σ$ level or successful in producing mixing angles only at $2-3σ$ level. To study the impact of phase parameter, we also looked into CP violating effects for single rotation case. The predicted value of $δ_{CP}$ lies in the range $39.0^\circ(40.4^\circ) \le |δ_{CP}| \le 78.7^\circ(79.2^\circ)$ for $U_{12}^l\cdot V_{HM}$ and $U_{13}^l\cdot V_{HM}$ case with Normal(Inverted) Hierarchy.

description: [transcription] A Lyon le 18 avril 1775

Monsieur,

J'ai bien reçu en son temps la lettre que vous m'avez fait l'honneur de m'écrire le 1er mars dernier, qui m'a été remise par le R.P. ** carme qui s'en était chargé. J'y ai vu avec plaisir que la boîte que je vous ai envoyée par Messieurs De Villas et que j'avais reçue de M. de Migieu vous était parvenue, ainsi que les divers paquets de graines que je vous ai fait passer par cette même voie que vous approuvez. Je me suis bien douté en fait qu'elle était sûre et très bonne et quand j'aurai à l'avenir quelques bagatelles semblables à vous faire passer, je continuerai à m'en servir. Il est bien que vous ayez aussi les dissertations de M. Du Tens que nous avions remise à ces Messieurs. Comme ce sont des affaires qui me regardent personnellement, j'aurai l'honneur de vous répondre là-dessus à part. Je vous serai obligé de vouloir bien aussi me faire un bout de réponse à part pour ce qui me concerne et que j'ai l'honneur de vous communiquer. Ci-joint je vous envoie une note des divers livres qui m'appartiennent que j'ai été obligé de prendre de quelqu'un qui me devait quelque chose. Comme vous êtes pourvu, je pense qu'il y en aura peu qui puisse vous convenir, mais comme vous m'avez témoigné me vouloir du bien, j'ai pris cette liberté dont je vous demande pardon, afin que vous vouliez bien à votre loisir proposer cet article à Messieurs vos amis. Je vous serai infiniment et vous me rendrez Monsieur un grand service à vouloir bien m'en faire placer autant que vous pourrez. J'y ai fixé les plus justes prix, sans pouvoir en rien ôter ou si cela se peut sur quelques-uns mais ce sera sur bien peu d'articles. J'espère donc de votre bonté, Monsieur, que vous voudrez bien vous y prêter et je vous en serai très obligé. J'ai appris avec le plus grand plaisir le rétablissement de votre santé que je souhaite qui se maintienne et que vous conserviez en m'accordant la continuation de votre amitié. J'ai l'honneur d'être avec respect et considération,

Monsieur,

Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur

Et. Piestre, chez Messieurs de Tournes à Lyon.
