description: Many traditional genera of the Halymeniaceae turn out to be poly- or paraphyletic based on molecular phylogenies. The genus Halymenia is no exception. In this study, we provide a detailed characterization of the vegetative and reproductive morphology of the generitype of Halymenia, H. floresii, based on specimens from the north-western Mediterranean Sea. In addition we describe a newly detected clade (Neofolia rosea gen. et sp. nov.) which was previously confused with ‘Halymenia latifolia’ from the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and the western Mediterranean Sea. The development of auxiliary cell ampullae in Neofolia and Halymenia is similar, namely, ampullae consist of three orders of branched filaments after diploidization of the auxiliary cell and form a weak pericarp comprised only of elongated and branched ampullary filaments. The auxiliary cell is always differentiated from the first cell of the third-order ampullary filament. This pattern differs significantly from previous descriptions of the female reproductive system of Halymenia, in which the auxiliary cell is said to be the third cell of the primary ampullary filament and few secondary and tertiary ampullary filaments are produced from the primary ampullary filament before diploidization of the auxiliary cell. Neofolia primarily differs from Halymenia in the absence of a cellular cluster (= nutritive filaments), which is present in the basal parts of the carpogonial branch ampullae in Halymenia. Moreover, auxiliary cell ampullary filaments in Neofolia are much shorter (6–7 cells long) than those found in Halymenia (9–13 cells long), and the secondarily generated connecting filaments are issued from the basal cells of the ampullary filaments in Halymenia, whereas they are produced from the fusion cell in Neofolia. Resolving the polyphyly of Halymenia will require a re-examination of the species of ‘Halymenia’ that are not clustered with the generitype.

description: The purpose of this document is to offer archaeologists a basis for understanding natural features in playa systems. Nellis Air Force Base previously commissioned a study that describes in text and photographs the geology for source materials on the NTTR and in the southern Nevada region (Dickerson 2003). Its purpose was to provide archaeologists with descriptive data to identify locations of source materials most likely used by the aboriginal inhabitants of the Great Basin. This field guide builds on that work by providing archaeologists with a more intensive method of separating human-made features from naturally occurring features. It describes features observed on 10 of the playas on the NTTR and presents detailed photographs for each feature. This guide is considered an addendum to the NAFB Cultural Resources Management Plan (NAFB 2007).

description: We consider Z2, freely acting orbifolds of the type IIB string with 16 parallel D5-branes. When the string is compactified on T2 X T4 and the D5-branes are wrapped on T2, these systems possess N=2 supersymmetry, originating from the spontaneous, partial breaking of N=4. Extended supersymmetry allows us to investigate the duality with certain heterotic and type I constructions, and to obtain informations about their non-perturbative regime.

description: We construct analogues of Rankin--Selberg integrals for Speh representations of the general linear group over a $p$-adic field. The integrals are in terms of the Shalika model and are expected to be the local counterparts of (suitably regularized) global integrals involving square-integrable automorphic forms and Eisenstein series on the general linear group over a global field. We relate the local integrals to the classical ones studied by Jacquet--Piatetski-Shapiro--Shalika. We also introduce a unitary structure for Speh representation on the Shalika model, as well as various other models including Zelevinsky's degenerate Whittaker model.
Agricultural Commodities: Risk Management for Exporting Countries
Creators: name: Ovararin, Komkrit
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: We consider three aspects of agricultural risk management: volatility modelling of commodity returns for several agricultural commodities, convenience yield modelling for various commodities and weather risk in Thailand, a supplier of rubber, sugar and rice. To model the volatility of commodity returns, we extend the GJR-Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GJR-GARCH). The inclusion of seasonal patterns, composed of a day-of-the-week effect (representing investor behaviour) and a yearly effect (representing harvest yields) are important in providing more accurate models of volatility. To capture fat tails, Standardised-t and the generalised error distribution (GED) are employed in estimations and compared with Gaussian error distribution. The Value-at-Risk (VaR) of the optimal volatility model's forecasting performances are used to determine the accuracy of these models. The second study examines convenience yield modelling and heteroskedasticity. The analysis of seven agriculture net convenience yields clearly shows that the benefit of net convenience yield exists only in the short term, otherwise it converges to zero. Both the current tests and a new proposed test confirm the existence of heteroskedasticity. An autoregressive model is used to model convenience yield: GARCH (1,1) and Standardised-t are more accurate than the alternatives considered. Finally, the net convenience yield is investigated in the context of the international market. We found that the depreciation of exchange rates of the leading exporting countries eliminates the benefit of holding the agricultural product. In the final study, we devised a weather insurance model, a hybrid error distribution that captures two important daily rainfall characteristics, to assess the weather risk to the Thai agricultural products. Our probability distribution combines a seasonal-Weibull distribution, which captures moderate rainfall, with an Extreme Value distribution, which captures extreme to heavy rainfall. Monte Carlo methods are used to simulate the daily data in order to compare our model performances with the actual data and estimate the rainfall insurance premium.

description: The Nellis AFR Low Elevation Stratified Sample inventory was conducted in low areas of the range where most mission-related activities occur. This study, which was performed in accordance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act, had the following goals: 1) characterize the prehistoric cultural resources of low elevation areas on the range; and 2) use this information to construct a model for identifying areas of low to high potential for cultural remains. Data from this study can be integrated with the planning process for proposed Air Force programs to help in assessing the level of effort necessary to achieve compliance with environmental requirements. The cultural resources inventory identified 420 sites on the 12 inventoried ranges, 12 of which were considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

description: A U(N) Chern-Simons theory on noncommutative $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ is constructed as a $\q$-deformed field theory. The model is characterized by two symmetries: the BRST-symmetry and the topological linear vector supersymmetry. It is shown that the theory is finite and $\q_{\m\n}$-independent at the one loop level and that the calculations respect the restriction of the topological supersymmetry. Thus the topological $\q$-deformed Chern-Simons theory is an example of a model which is non-singular in the limit $\q \to 0$.

description: The Kawich Range is considered one of the least explored and most pristine mountain ranges in the Great Basin, part of 3.1 million acres withdrawn from public access in 1940s by the Department of Defense. Dames & Moore, under contract to Prewitt & Associates, was selected by Nellis Air Force Base to perform archaeological inventory and recordation of a 5,000-acre sample of the Kawich Range. The three phases of this project include: (1) preparation of a predictive model and research design; (2) archaeological survey and recordation; and (3) documentation and evaluation of the model. The goal is to produce and test a model that not only guides resource management in the Kawich Range, but one which may also be adapted and applied to other Great Basin mountain ranges and further extended to different topographic settings in adjacent areas. The current report documents the initial phase of the study. The overall project is designed to assist Nellis Air Force Base in complying with applicable historic preservation and archaeological regulations, and is being performed in concert with consultations with concerned Native American groups, with an emphasis on confidentiality and respect for traditional values.

description: Set partitions closed under certain operations form a tensor category. They give rise to certain subgroups of the free orthogonal quantum group $O_n^+$, the so called easy quantum groups, introduced by Banica and Speicher in 2009. This correspondence was generalized to two-colored set partitions, which, in addition, assign a black or white color to each point of a set. Globally colorized categories of partitions are those categories that are invariant with respect to arbitrary permutations of colors. This article presents a classification of globally colorized categories. In addition, we show that the corresponding unitary quantum groups can be constructed from the orthogonal ones using tensor complexification.

Hidden Finite Symmetries in String Theory and Duality of Dualities

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

description: Different compactifications of six-dimensional string theory on $M_4 \times T^2$ are considered. Particular attention is given to the roles of the reduced modes as the $S$ and $T$ fields. It is shown that there is a discrete group of invariances of an equilateral triangle hidden in the model. This group is realized as the interchanges of the two-form fields present in the intermediate step of dimensional reduction in five dimensions. The key ingredient for the existence of this group is the presence of an additional $U(1)$ gauge field in five dimensions, arising as the dual of the Kalb-Ramond axion field strength. As a consequence, the theory contains more four-dimensional $SL(2,R)$ representations, with the resulting complex scalar axidilaton related to the components of the Kaluza-Klein vector fields of the naive dimensional reduction. An immediate byproduct of this relationship is a triadic correspondence among the fundamental string, the solitonic string, and a singular Brinkmann pp wave.

The complete genome and functional analysis of the Brazilian Purpuric Fever clone of Haemophilus influenzae biogroup Aegyptius
Creators: name: Strouts, Fiona Rosalind
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The Brazilian Purpuric Fever (BPF) clone of Haemophilus influenzae biogroup Aegyptius (Hae) emerged in São Paulo in 1984, causing epidemic outbreaks of a life-threatening childhood infection characterised by shock and purpura fulminans. Strains of Hae have long been known to cause highly contagious and purulent conjunctivitis, but never previously implicated in invasive disease. Laboratory studies have revealed phenotypic and genetic differences between the BPF clone and other Hae strains, but failed to identify virulence factors responsible for the unusual virulence of this clone. This thesis describes the exhaustive annotation of the whole genome sequences of the invasive BPF clone isolate F3031 and non-invasive Hae conjunctivitis isolate F3047, inferring gene function through sequence homologies, and identifying insertions, deletions, pseudogenes and regulatory sites that may underlie phenotypic variation between these strains. Pan-genomic comparison of F3031 and F3047 to 5 other complete H. influenzae genomes allowed delineation of the 'Hae accessory genome', revealing a suite of novel adhesins not previously described for H. influenzae, presumably reflecting the conjunctival niche to which Hae has specialised. These include a striking ten-member family of trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) that share homology with TAAs established to play a role in virulence of other bacterial pathogens, and were selected for further study. Functional evaluation of variants of one of these genes, b/caaA1, through cloning and expression in E. coli, revealed differences in autoaggregation and in adherence of transformants to human epithelial cells in culture. Investigating gene function in Hae has been hampered by difficulties in genetically manipulating these strains. Competence for DNA uptake and transformation in Hae was investigated through in silico analysis of the genes involved in these processes, and the development of a plate transformation protocol that appears to reliably transform certain strains of Hae, providing a valuable tool for future work investigating the virulence functions of genes in their natural background.

These models fit nicely the data from the dipole mechanism for the stringy exclusion principle. In the AdS_2 X S^2 case, we show that a wrapped fractional membrane can be used to count for the large ground state degeneracy. We also propose a fuzzy AdS_2 model whose fundamental commutation relation may underlie the UV/IR connection.

Generation of few-cycle and attosecond pulses and their use in probing ultrafast dynamics in gases and surfaces
Creators: name: Arrell, Christopher
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: A laser-based system to allow the temporal evolution of plasmonic fields on surfaces with attosecond resolution is presented. Sub 7fs carrier envelope phase stabilised infra-red (IR) pulses with 450μJ have been generated using a hollow fiber compression system utilising self phase modulation to produce a 400nm FWHM bandwidth centred at 790nm and subsequent compression with chirped mirrors. The isolated attosecond pulse was produced using spectra selection of a continuum of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photons generated from a single half cycle emission from the IR driving field. The isolated XUV was characterised using the atomic streak camera technique and a pulse duration of 270as was retrieved using a frequency resolved optical gating algorithm. An ultra high vacuum (10⁻¹⁰mbar) surface science system for attosecond pump-probe studies of surfaces was designed and built, connecting directly to the attosecond beamline. A sample manipulator was developed to precisely position surface samples in the IR and XUV foci. Novel vibrational decoupling mechanisms were developed, achieving only 10nm of motion measured of the sample head. An electron spectrometer with a resolution of 0.05eV for 30eV was used to measure localised nanoplasmonic intensity enhancement of 10³ from a rough silver surface (4mm RMS roughness) by collecting 35eV photoelectrons emitted by a few-cycle IR field with an intensity of ~10¹⁰W/cm². A 2-photon photoemission XUV-IR cross correlation measurement probing hot electron dynamics in a gold surface is reported, revealing femtosecond dynamics of electron thermalisation.

Biofunctionalised electrospun scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering
Creators: name: Lim, Erh-Hsuin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The field of tissue engineering has advanced and evolved to focus on biomimetic strategies to meet the rise in demands of tissue replacements for surgical reconstruction. One of the key strategies focuses on developing growth factor delivery systems, by incorporating growth factors into tissue scaffolds. While growth factors are crucial cell-inducing components, their limitations such as short half-lives and dose related adverse effects remain a challenge. To overcome these challenges, this thesis is focused on the development of a novel biomimetic tissue scaffold concept incorporating cell-mediated activation of growth factors for cartilage regeneration. The latent transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was selected as a model latent protein due to its well established effects on cartilage as well as its ubiquity in many other tissue types. The thesis first focused on the development and characterisation of the tissue scaffold. A non-woven fibrous scaffold was fabricated by electrospinning, surface modified using ammonia plasma, followed by scaffold surface biofunctionalisation with the latent TGF-β1. Physiochemical characterisation revealed that: (1) the scaffold architecture closely resembled that of the native cartilage extracellular matrix; (2) the scaffold surface was chemically modified for subsequent biofunctionalisation reaction; and (3) the latent TGF-β1 was incorporated onto the scaffold and the active TGF-β1 was detected upon acid and enzymatic activation. Biological effects of the biofunctionalised scaffold were assessed using human nasal chondrocytes in a serum free environment and compared with conventional TGF-β1 supplementation on non-biofunctionalised scaffolds (as control). The biofunctionalised scaffold group induced a lower cell metabolic activity and significantly higher gene expression of cartilage specific transcription factor Sox9 after 14 days. The second part of the thesis evaluated the chondrogenic efficacy of the biofunctionalised scaffolds, using the aforementioned chondrocytes and human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), in an in-vivo rat model. Cell-scaffold constructs were implanted into subcutaneous pockets of athymic rats for six weeks. Gene expression and immunohistochemistry showed that the biofunctionalised group induced significant chondrogenic differentiation in chondrocytes and type II collagen production when compared to controls. Interestingly, a converse response was observed in MSC where the control group induced relatively higher chondrogenic potentials that the biofunctionalised group. This thesis demonstrates that the latent TGF-β1 biofunctionalised scaffolds induced chondrocytic differentiation in chondrocytes and more importantly the proof of concept of cell-mediated activation of growth factors as a novel approach for functional tissue regeneration.

description: The Desert Research Institute (DRI) was requested by the Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV) to conduct a cultural resources reconnaissance of the proposed underground test area (UGTA) subproject well 12 pad and access road on the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR) EC South. The DOE/NV, through its UGTA project, is proposing to conduct a well drilling campaign to characterize the area between western Pahute Mesa and Oasis Valley. The data acquired will assist the DOE/NV to understand and model the hydrogeologic regime underlying Pahute Mesa. Reconnaissance of the well 12 project area revealed one site and one isolate along the northern end of the proposed access road (Figure 2). Site 26NY10965 is a diffuse lithic scatter, and isolate I111797RJ02 is an obsidian core reduction flake. Site 26NY10965 is not recommended by DRI as potentially eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NR).

Discrimination Between Quantum Common Causes and Quantum Causality

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In classic cases, Reichenbach's principle implies that discriminating between common causes and causality is unprincipled since the discriminative results essentially depend on the selection of possible conditional variables. For some typical quantum cases, K.Reid $et$ $al$. \href{https://www.nature.com/articles/nphys3266}{[Nat. Phys. 11, 414 (2015)]} presented the statistic $C$ which can effectively discriminate quantum common causes and quantum causality over two quantum random variables (i.e., qubits) and which only uses measurement information about these two variables. In this paper, we formalize general quantum common causes and general quantum causality. Based on the formal representation, we further investigate their decidability via the statistic $C$ in general quantum cases. We demonstrate that (i) $C \in \left[ { - 1,\frac{1}{27}} \right]$ if two qubits are influenced by quantum common causes; (ii) $C \in \left[ { - \frac{1}{27},1} \right]$ if the relation between two qubits is quantum causality; (iii) a geometric picture can illuminate the geometric interpretation of the probabilistic mixture of quantum common causes and quantum causality. This geometric picture also provides a basic heuristic to develop more complete methods for discriminating the cases corresponding to $C \in \left[ { - \frac{1}{27},\frac{1}{27}} \right]$. Our results demonstrate that quantum common causes and quantum causality can be discriminated in a considerable scope.

Investigating the immunomodulatory properties of human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Creators: name: Lin, Wenyu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: The immunosuppressive property of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) has been utilised to ameliorate autoimmune reactions such as graft-versus-host disease. However, variation exists in primary MSC isolated due to differences in donor age and tissue of origin. Alternatively, human embryonic stem cells (hESC) can be differentiated to homogeneous populations of MSC (hESCMSC), thus providing an unlimited source of MSC for cell therapy. In this study, the immunomodulatory properties of two hESC-MSC lines, hESC-MSC1 and hESC-MSC2, were compared with adult bone marrow-derived MSC (BM-MSC) and neonatal foreskin fibroblast (Fb). hESC-MSC were able to suppress the proliferation of anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated CD4+ T cells in contact and transwell systems. The immunosuppression was demonstrated by both the carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) and [3H]- thymidine proliferation assays. However, hESC-MSC were less potent and twice the number of adherent hESC-MSC (as measured by IC50) compared to BM-MSC and Fb were required to suppress T cell proliferation by 50%. Supernatants collected from transwells of MSC or Fb with T cells were shown to suppress T cell proliferation, suggesting that suppressive factors were only produced in the presence of activated T cells. Among several candidates, endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide-II (EMAP-II) was identified as a potential suppressive factor. T cells also induced indoleamine-2,3- dioxygenase (IDO) expression in MSC and Fb. IDO led to the depletion of tryptophan, an essential amino acid, and/or the production of tryptophan metabolites (kynurenines), thereby inhibiting T cell proliferation. Interestingly, blocking of IDO with 1-methyltrytophan reversed the suppressive effect, implicating IDO as a potential mediator in T cell suppression. Concomitantly, several candidate suppressive factors in the supernatants have also been identified using antibody arrays. However, their functions require validation. In conclusion, hESC-MSC share similar suppressive properties as BM-MSC and represent a potential cell source for clinical purposes.
