description: We perform a renormalization group transformation to construct a lattice theory of chiral fermions. The field variables of the continuum theory are averaged over hypercubes to define lattice fields. Integrating out the continuum variables in perturbation theory we derive a chirally invariant effective action for the lattice fields. This is consistent with the Nielsen-Niniomiya theorem because the effective action is nonlocal. We also construct the axial current on the lattice and we show that the axial anomaly of the continuum theory is reproduced in the Schwinger model. This shows that chiral fermions can be regularized on the lattice.

Cell cycle heterogeneity study by an integrated modelling and experimental approach
Creators: name: Garcia Munzer, David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Mammalian cell cultures are intrinsically heterogeneous at different scales (from the molecular to bioreactor level). The cell cycle is at the centre of capturing heterogeneity since it plays a critical role in the growth, death, productivity and product quality of mammalian cell cultures. Attempts to model the cell cycle heterogeneity are not new and have proved to be challenging both experimentally and computationally. Most current cell cycle models rely on biological variables (mass/volume/age) that are non-mechanistic and difficult to experimentally quantify to describe cell cycle transition and to capture the culture heterogeneity. In this thesis, the development of integrated modelling and experimental approaches that facilitates the study of cell cycle subpopulations in cell cultures is presented. The recently proposed closing the loop framework (Kiparissides et al., 2011) is employed to facilitate the development of cell cycle models with biological relevance and applicable to real life problems (industrial and clinical). The work herein presents a novel experimental-modelling platform whereby experimental quantification of key cell cycle metrics (cell cycle timings, cell cycle fractions, and cyclin expression determined by flow cytometry) is used to develop a cyclin and DNA distributed model for the industrially relevant GS-NS0 cell line. The cell cycle model captured the population heterogeneity, which further enables in silico studies of the complex system. It is envisaged that this modelling approach will pave the way for model-based developments of industrial cell lines and clinical studies. A second cell cycle model was developed to assist the industrially relevant selection of temperature profiles in mammalian cell cultures. The combined experimental-mathematical approach avoided unnecessary experimentation and guided the model development for the temperature selection. The model was successfully validated by predicting different temperature profile scenarios. The presented contributions assist the development of meaningful mathematical models with predictive capabilities accounting for the cell cycle heterogeneity in bioprocesses.

description: We report the discovery of two low redshift HI 21cm absorbers, one at z = 0.2212 towards the z_{em} = 0.630 quasar OI 363 (B0738+313), and the other at z = 0.3127 towards PKS B1127-145 (z_{em} = 1.187). Both were found during a survey of MgII selected systems at redshifts 0.2 < z < 1 using the new UHF-high system at the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). New HST/FOS observations also identify both systems as damped Ly-alpha (DLa) absorbers. By comparing the column density from the DLa line with that from the HI 21cm line, we calculate the spin temperature, and find that T_s is approximately 1000 K for both of these low redshift absorbers. We briefly discuss some implications of this result.

description: Systems that produce crackling noises such as Barkhausen pulses are statistically similar and can be compared with one another. In this project, the Barkhausen noise of three ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) samples were demonstrated to be compatible with avalanche statistics. The peaks of the slew-rate (time derivative of current $dI/dt$) squared, defined as jerks, were statistically analysed and shown to obey power-laws. The critical exponents obtained for three PZT samples (B, F and S) were 1.73, 1.64 and 1.61, respectively, with a standard deviation of 0.04. This power-law behaviour is in excellent agreement with recent theoretical predictions of 1.65 in avalanche theory. If these critical exponents do resemble energy exponents, they were above the energy exponent 1.33 derived from mean-field theory. Based on the power-law distribution of the jerks, we demonstrate that domain switching display self-organised criticality and that Barkhausen jumps measured as electrical noise follows avalanche theory.

Reconfigurable optically-controlled waveguide for terahertz applications
Creators: name: Episkopou, Elpida
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: The development of tunable waveguide components for systems that require multifunctionality, at terahertz frequencies is investigated using the photoconductivity e ect. Specifically, by the photo-generation of free charged carriers highly conducting plasma regions are created and by changing the light pattern in real time, various tunable components can be implemented. The aim of this thesis is to present a novel reconfigurable optically-controlled terahertz waveguide switch as an illustrative example of this approach, addressing the challenges and limitations involved in simulation, implementation and measurement of such devices and is organised in the following chapters. Chapter 1 gives the background theory of the fundamental principles of optoelectronic devices and presents a literature survey of existing optically-controlled structures across a wide frequency spectrum. Chapter 2 presents a comparative study of four commercial software packages with the aim to show that it is not always straightforward to select the most appropriate boundary conditions and define a material's parameter within a software when terahertz structures are modelled. A study of various modelling approaches using commercially-available software packages has been undertaken; a number of approaches have been identified and the most appropriate solutions are indicated. Chapter 3 presents a microwave plasma switch as a proof-of-concept scaled demonstrator. In this preliminary experiment a metal pipe rectangular waveguide (similar to WR-650 standard) has been implemented, which can be reconfigured as an ON-OFF switch using a plasma column formed by commercially available discharge tubes. This provides a good starting point for more sophisticated devices as presented in the following chapters. In Chapter 4 a novel optically-controlled waveguide plasma switch for terahertz applications is presented. The switch is excited by a continuous wave (CW) laser source and the photoconductivity profile, due to the laser illumination, is described in detail. The performance of the switch is studied by means of full-wave numerical simulations and various parametric studies are undertaken to provide physical insight in the device performance. The thermal characteristics of the device are also investigated. Chapter 5 gives in detail the processing steps for the microfabrication of various prototypes with the assembly of the prototypes being also discussed. The waveguide experimental setup is described in detail and the measurement results obtained are presented. In particular, emphasis has been given on the alignment of the devices with the Vector Network Analyser waveguide heads. Finally, Chapter 6 gives a summary of the work presented in this thesis and potentially new research directions are indicated as future work.

description: The ultrafast non-radiative relaxation of a molecular ensemble coupled to a cavity mode is considered theoretically and by real-time quantum dynamics. For equal coupling strength of single molecules to the cavity mode, the non-radiative relaxation rate from the upper to the lower polariton states is found to strongly depend on the number of coupled molecules. For N>2 molecules, the N-1 dark light-matter states between the two optically active polaritons feature true collective conical intersection crossings, whose location depends on the internal atomic coordinates of each molecule in the ensemble, and which contribute to the ultrafast non-radiative decay from the upper polariton. At least N=3 coupled molecules are necessary for cavity-induced collective conical intersections to exist and, for identical molecules, they constitute a special case of the Jahn-Teller effect.

Galaxy clusters at 0.3 < z < 0.4 and the value of Ω_0

description: The observed evolution of the galaxy cluster X-ray integral temperature distribution function between $z=0.05$ and $z=0.32$ is used in an attempt to constrain the value of the density parameter, $Ω_{0}$, for both open and spatially-flat universes. We estimate the overall uncertainty in the determination of both the observed and the predicted galaxy cluster X-ray integral temperature distribution functions at $z=0.32$ by carrying out Monte Carlo simulations, where we take into careful consideration all the most important sources of possible error. We include the effect of the formation epoch on the relation between virial mass and X-ray temperature, improving on the assumption that clusters form at the observed redshift which leads to an {\em overestimate} of $Ω_0$. We conclude that at present both the observational data and the theoretical modelling carry sufficiently large associated uncertainties to prevent an unambiguous determination of $Ω_{0}$. We find that values of $Ω_{0}$ around 0.75 are most favoured, with $Ω_{0}<0.3$ excluded with at least 90 per cent confidence. In particular, the $Ω_{0}=1$ hypothesis is found to be still viable as far as this dataset is concerned. As a by-product, we also use the revised data on the abundance of galaxy clusters at $z=0.05$ to update the constraint on $σ_8$ given by Viana & Liddle 1996, finding slightly lower values than before.

description: Parents’ involvement in children’s education has significant positive effect both on their academic achievement and social wellbeing (Cosso et al., 2022; El Nokali et al., 2010; Wong et al., 2018). There is rich evidence about parent-involved intervention for children with ASD, ADHD, intellectual disabilities from emerging systematic review studies (e.g., Althoff et al., 2019; Shalev et al., 2020; Corcoran & Dattalo, 2006; Te Kaat‐van den Os et al., 2017; McIntyre,2013), but little is known about parent-involved intervention for children with specific learning disabilities (SLD). Hence, we aim to conduct a systematic review of empirical studies on parent-involved interventions for children with SLD. In this systematic review, we focus on children with SLD at school age (i.e., primary, and secondary education) given its typically diagnosed time and expected intervention needs. In this systematic review, we aim to systematically review and describe existing empirical studies on parent-involved interventions for children with SLD, synthesize the interventions characteristics and outcomes variables reported, and analyse the effectiveness of these interventions.

description: Relativistic Dirac fermions are ubiquitous in condensed matter physics. Their mass is proportional to the material energy gap and the ability to control and tune the mass has become an essential tool to engineer quantum phenomena that mimic high energy particles and provide novel device functionalities. In topological insulator thin films, new states of matter can be generated by hybridizing the massless Dirac states that occur at material surfaces. In this work, we experimentally and theoretically introduce a platform where this hybridization can be continuously tuned: the Pb1-xSnxSe topological superlattice. In this system, topological Dirac states occur at the interfaces between a topological crystalline insulator Pb1-xSnxSe and a trivial insulator, realized in the form of topological quantum wells (TQW) epitaxially stacked on top of each other. Using magnetooptical transmission spectroscopy on high quality MBE grown Pb1-xSnxSe superlattices, we show that the penetration depth of the TQW interface states and therefore their Dirac mass is continuously tunable with temperature. This presents a new pathway to engineer the Dirac mass of topological systems and paves the way towards the realization of emergent quantum states of matter using Pb1-xSnxSe topological superlattices.

The role of IL-17 in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis and ANCA-associated vasculitis
Creators: name: Hamour, Sally
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Immune-mediated glomerulonephritis and vasculitis accounts for over 10% of end-stage renal failure in the UK. The anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody(ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are a specific subset, characterised by the production of ANCA, and are idiopathic multi-system vasculitides affecting mainly small-calibre vessels and renal glomeruli. Extensive human and animal work by our group and others has attempted to dissect the mechanisms which underlie the pathogenesis of these conditions. Recently, an important development in our understanding of cellular immunity has been the identification of a subset of T-cells characterised by production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-17 (IL-17). T-helper-17 (Th17) cells are implicated as critical mediators of autoimmune disease. I have attempted to characterise whether there is a role for Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of experimental glomerulonephritis and AAV. I have shown that IL-17-deficient mice are protected from nephrotoxic nephritis and have used cell transfer experiments to see whether disease susceptibility or protection can be conferred. Using bone marrow transplant experiments, I have also demonstrated (1) that haematopoietic cells are critical mediators of disease and (2) that local production of IL-17 has an unexpected protective role. In human work, using samples from patients with AAV, I have shown that IL-17 is over-expressed in serum from both acute and convalescent patients and is closely associated with levels of related cytokines such as IL-23. Patients with AAV have memory Th17 cells that respond to stimulation with ANCA autoantigens. IL-23 levels correlate with AAV disease activity. This work demonstrates a role for IL-17 and Th17 cells in experimental glomerulonephritis and AAV. IL-17 blockade is being trialled as a therapy for a number of autoimmune diseases. Improved understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis and protection by IL-17 in AAV and glomerulonephritis will enable better prediction of the effects of IL-17 blockade and bring benefits to patients.

description: We report the observation of a current-phase relation dominated by the second Josephson harmonic in superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor junctions. The exotic current-phase relation is realized in the vicinity of a temperature-controlled 0-to-$π$ junction transition, at which the first Josephson harmonic vanishes. Direct current-phase relation measurements, as well as Josephson interferometry, non-vanishing supercurrent and half-integer Shapiro steps at the 0-$π$ transition self-consistently point to an intrinsic second harmonic term, making it possible to rule out common alternative origins of half-periodic behavior. While surprising for diffusive multimode junctions, the large second harmonic is in agreement with theory predictions for thin ferromagnetic interlayers.

These ratios are in agreement with previous semi-analytical calculations. We also numerically calculate the topological susceptibility by using the cooling method.

In particular, within this setting we determine the complete expression for the (disk level) four-derivative corrections to the Born-Infeld part of the action. We also determine 2n-form 2n-derivative corrections to the Wess-Zumino term. Both types of corrections involve all orders of the gauge field strength, F. The results are obtained via string sigma-model loop calculations using the boundary state operator language. The corrections can be succinctly written in terms of the Riemann tensor for a non-symmetric metric.

description: The low-redshift evolution of the intergalactic medium is investigated using hydrodynamic cosmological simulations. The assumed cosmological model is a critical density cold dark matter universe. The imposed uniform background of ionizing radiation has the amplitude, shape and redshift evolution as computed from the observed quasar luminosity function by Haardt & Madau. We have analysed simulated Lyman-alpha spectra using Voigt-profile fitting, mimicking the procedure with which quasar spectra are analysed. Our simulations reproduce the observed evolution of the number of Lyman-alpha absorption lines over the whole observed interval of z=0.5 to z=4. In particular, our simulations show that the decrease in the rate of evolution of Lyman-alpha absorption lines at z< 2, as observed by Hubble Space Telescope, can be explained by the steep decline in the photo-ionizing background resulting from the rapid decline in quasar numbers at low redshift.

The evolution of apomixis in the Asplenium monanthes fern complex
Creators: name: Dyer, Robert James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Asexually reproducing eukaryotes provide a window into the evolution and maintenance of sexual reproduction, and are challenging our concept of a species. In plants, asexual reproduction (apomixis) is known to cause taxonomic problems and has been indicated to have a disparately high frequency in homosporous ferns. The reasons for such a high frequency of apomictic taxa are unclear, and only add to the enigmatic nature of these ferns. Contemporary studies in ferns are focussing on such questions, and are providing valuable insights into the evolutionary dynamics of apomictic ferns. In this thesis, I investigate the evolution of apomixis in the Asplenium monanthes complex. First, I perform a biosystematic study of the complex, based upon plastid and nuclear DNA sequence data, reproductive mode and polyploidy. I present evidence for reticulate evolution and multiple apomictic lineages. Second, I address the problem of species delimitation in an apomictic species complex. I performed a comparative analysis of AFLP data and sequence data using a variety of species delimitation methods. Results supported the inferences of independent lineages and reticulate evolution made in the previous chapter, but the AFLP data did not support inferences of parentage. Third, I investigated the evolution of genome size in the complex based on DNA C-value data, and tested the utilisation of spore size data to infer ploidy level based on the relationship between genome size and spore size. Genome size variation was shown not only to be due to polyploidy, but also due to expansion of the monoploid genome / chromosome size. Moreover, the evolution of spore size and genome size were not correlated, indicating that spore size is not a good indicator of ploidy level in apomictic complexes. Finally, I investigate the origins of apomixis in A.monanthes based upon AFLP data, sequence data and DNA C-values. I find evidence that the observed genetic and karyological diversity is explained by a single origin of apomixis followed by the spread of apomixis by hybridisation with closely related sexual species by the male function. There is also evidence for post genetic divergence by other mechanisms such as genetic segregation, somatic mutation and unequal meiosis. This thesis presents the first thorough investigation of this complex and has increased our understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of apomixis in ferns.

description: ALMA is now fully operational, and has been observing in early science mode since 2011. The millimetric (mm) and sub-mm domain is ideal to tackle galaxies at high redshift, since the emission peak of the dust at 100$μ$m is shifted in the ALMA bands (0.3mm to 1mm) for z=2 to 9, and the CO lines, stronger at the high-J levels of the ladder, are found all over the 0.3-3mm range. Pointed surveys and blind deep fields have been observed, and the wealth of data collected reveal a drop at high redshifts (z $>$ 6) of dusty massive objects, although surprisingly active and gas-rich objects have been unveiled through gravitational lensing. The window of the reionization epoch is now wide open, and ALMA has detected galaxies at z=8-9 mainly in continuum, [CII] and [OIII] lines. Galaxies have a gas fraction increasing steeply with redshift, as (1+z)$^2$, while their star formation efficiency increases also but more slightly, as (1+z)$^{0.6}$ to (1+z)$^1$. Individual object studies have revealed luminous quasars, with black hole masses much higher than expected, clumpy galaxies with resolved star formation rate compatible with the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, extended cold and dense gas in a circumgalactic medium, corresponding to Lyman-$α$ blobs, and proto-clusters, traced by their brightest central galaxies.

Impact of peripheral inflammation in the brain : new roles for the anti-inflammatory molecule Annexin A1
Creators: name: Cristante, Enrico
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Growing evidence has shown that peripheral inflammation can trigger a central nervous system response, sometimes worsening pre-existing neurological conditions, breaking down the concept of brain as an immune-privileged organ. Understanding which components contribute to periphery-to-brain communication may help identify molecules exploitable for therapeutic intervention. Usually, inflammation is followed by resolution: one of the main effectors in this process during peripheral inflammation is Annexin A1, while its implications in the CNS are still unclear. This thesis provides evidence for a new face for the molecule: we observed a well-defined expression at blood brain barrier (BBB) at endothelial level and we detected, in vivo, significantly higher BBB permeability in the AnxA1 null mice due to disrupted inter-endothelial cell tight junctions, essentially as a consequence to changes in the actin cytoskeleton. Such changes are reminiscent of early MS pathology, a relationship confirmed by detecting a selective loss of ANXA1 in the plasma and cerebrovascular endothelium of MS patients. Under peripheral inflammatory conditions (i.p. lipopolysaccharide, LPS), in vivo data suggested an inherent sex difference in BBB response, while in vitro studies confirmed the protective action of sex hormone 17β-Estradiol on the endothelium through ANXA1 modulation. Within the CNS, we detected a constitutively higher microglial density and pro-inflammatory environment in the Anxa1 null mouse, which worsened upon peripheral inflammation. In a neurodegeneration model (6-hydroxydopamine), genotype-related differences in microglial invasion occurred, while subsequent peripheral inflammatory challenges synergised and caused worse dopaminergic neuronal loss only in the knock-out model. These original data unveil a novel functional paradigm for ANXA1 as a “translator” between peripheral immune system and CNS through novel pathways compared to its well-characterized peripheral role. In addition, this study opens up a novel path to find therapeutic applications against disorders characterized by central and peripheral inflammation.
Cryo-EM and Biochemical Analysis of p97-UBX Protein Complexes

description: The AAA (ATPase involved in various cellular activities) protein p97 is a versatile chaperone in the UPS (ubiquitin-proteasome system). As such, it is involved in many cellular pathways, for example membrane fusion, NF-κB activation, and DNA-damage repair. In these pathways, p97 engages an array of adaptor proteins to allow it to bind ubiquitylated substrates, process them and pass them to the proteasome for degradation. p97 forms a series of dedicated complexes that allow it to perform such a large number of tasks. The largest family of p97 adaptor proteins is the UBX (ubiquitin regulatory X) protein family, which includes p47 and FAF1 (Fas-associated factor 1). This thesis aims to probe the structures and biochemical properties of p97-UBX protein complexes to better understand how they help regulate p97 function. Recent advances in single-particle cryo-EM data processing of heterogeneous p97 datasets were utilised to improve the resolution of the cryo-EM model of p97-p47 in the presence of ADP. The method successfully removed unbound p97 and yielded a model of improved resolution. The main focus of the project was on FAF1. It was found to have a propensity to oligomerise via its coiled-coil domain, and bind p97 with a stoichiometry of 3:6. FAF1 decreased p97 ATPase activity, which may also be linked to its oligomerisation. A cryo-EM reconstruction of p97-FAF1 was obtained. It showed that p97 adopted a similar conformation to that seen in p97-UN. These data led to a proposed mechanism for how p97-FAF1 may be regulated. Furthermore, this data showed that p97- FAF1, p97-p47, and potentially other UBX proteins, share a trimer-hexamer binding mode. These common features impact the way they accomplish their tasks, indicating that p97 may utilise them by a common mechanism.

Predicting species’ range shifts under global change: when can species distribution models be useful?
Creators: name: Rapacciuolo, Giovanni
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Predicting how species’ distributions will change in response to environmental changes is fundamental for many aspects of agriculture, ecosystem service provision, human and animal health, and wildlife conservation. Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are the primary tool for making such predictions; however, assessing their predictive accuracy is notoriously difficult, since predicted events are yet to occur. In this thesis, I tested the temporal transferability of widely-used SDMs based on coarse climate and land cover variables by validating these against records of recently-observed distribution changes in British vascular plants, birds, and butterflies. When transferred to a new time period, SDMs were generally accurate at discriminating between presence and absence across large portions of species’ ranges that had remained unchanged through time; however, their discrimination ability over portions of species ranges which had been observed to change occupancy status in time was no better than random. When considering the probabilistic nature of predictions, this lack of discrimination ability over dynamic portions of species’ ranges translated into significant deviations between values of predicted and observed probabilities of species’ gain and loss at given sites. Nonetheless, species’ gains and losses were more likely to be observed at sites with higher predicted probabilities of gain and loss, respectively. In addition, there was considerable variation in the temporal transferability of models with some models being more transferable than others. Differences amongst species were a major determinant of this variation. In particular, models of species found across a distinct and narrow range of environments, which also occurred across most geographical sites satisfying these requirements, were more transferable over time than others. Other factors leading to significant variation in temporal transferability were the choice of modelling framework and the geographical area over which a model was projected. My findings suggest that SDMs are unlikely to generate projections of single species’ range shifts that are accurate enough to provide a solid basis for local-scale conservation and management. However, they may be useful in pinpointing species and areas that are particularly vulnerable to environmental change and should thus be monitored closely. Clearly, more processes will need to be explicitly accounted for in our predictive models if we want to significantly increase their biological realism in the face of environmental change.
