description: A novel, stimuli-responsive composite, based on poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) brushes, end-grafted to montmorillonite clay (GPC), was designed as a regenerable sorbent for efficient removal of pollutants from water. We characterized the novel composite sorbent and its response to pH, employing Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry analysis and zeta potential measurements. In comparison with conventional, electrostatically adsorbed PVP composites (APC), the GPC presented superior characteristics: higher polymer loading without polymer release, higher zeta potential and lower pH/charge dependency. These superior characteristics explained the significantly higher removal of organic and inorganic anionic pollutants by this composite, in comparison with the removal by APC and by many reported sorbents. For example, the filtration (20 pore volumes) of selenate by GPC, APC and a commercial resin column was complete (100%), negligible (0%) and reached 90% removal, respectively. At low–moderate pH, the grafted polymer undergoes protonation, promoting pollutant adsorption, whereas at high pH, the polymer deprotonates, promoting pollutant desorption. Indeed, ‘in-column’ regeneration of the GPC sorbents was achieved by increasing pH, and upon a second filtration cycle, no reduction in filter capacity was observed. These findings suggest the possible applicability of this stimuli-responsive sorbent for water treatment.

description: In contrast to an infinite family of explicit examples of two-dimensional $p$-harmonic functions obtained by G.Aronsson in the late 80s, there is very little known about the higher-dimensional case. In this paper, we show how to use isoparametric polynomials to produce diverse examples of $p$-harmonic and biharmonic functions. Remarkably, for some distinguished values of $p$ and the ambient dimension $n$ this yields first examples of rational and algebraic $p$-harmonic functions. Moreover, we show that there are no $p$-harmonic polynomials of the isoparametric type. This supports a negative answer to a question proposed in 1980 by J. Lewis.

Quantum Kinks: Solitons at Strong Coupling

description: We examine solitons in theories with heavy fermions. These ``quantum'' solitons differ dramatically from semi-classical (perturbative) solitons because fermion loop effects are important when the Yukawa coupling is strong. We focus on kinks in a $(1+1)$--dimensional $ϕ^4$ theory coupled to fermions; a large-$N$ expansion is employed to treat the Yukawa coupling $g$ nonperturbatively. A local expression for the fermion vacuum energy is derived using the WKB approximation for the Dirac eigenvalues. We find that fermion loop corrections increase the energy of the kink and (for large $g$) decrease its size. For large $g$, the energy of the quantum kink is proportional to $g$, and its size scales as $1/g$, unlike the classical kink; we argue that these features are generic to quantum solitons in theories with strong Yukawa couplings. We also discuss the possible instability of fermions to solitons.

description: Lateral trunk flexion (LTF) is a common postural deformity in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Postural control is known to depend on visual, vestibular, and somatosensory information. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vestibular dysfunction and postural abnormalities in PD patients with LTF. We enrolled a total of 19 PD patients with LTF (PD-LTF+) and 19 age- and sex-matched PD patients without LTF (PD-LTF-). All patients underwent vestibular tests, including spontaneous nystagmus, gaze-evoked nystagmus, ocular movements, optokinetic eye test, fast positioning maneuvers, and the bithermal caloric test. Most of the PD-LTF + patients had abnormal vestibular function (11/19), while there were fewer vestibular function injuries in the control group (3/19). In PD-LTF + group, there were 5 patients (5/11, 45.5%) of peripheral vestibular dysfunction, 2 patients (2/11, 18.2%) of central vestibular damage, and 4 patients (4/11, 36.4%) of mixed injuries. The peripheral vestibular deficiencies could be either bilateral (4/9, 44.4%) or unilateral (5/9, 55.6%). The unilateral vestibular dysfunction was ipsilateral to the leaning side in 2 patients and contralateral to the leaning side in the other 3 patients. Vestibular dysfunction may be an independent risk factor for LTF in PD patients.
General Relativity as a Hybrid theory: The Genesis of Einstein's work on the problem of motion

description: In this paper I describe the genesis of Einstein's early work on the problem of motion in general relativity (GR): the question of whether the motion of matter subject to gravity can be derived directly from the Einstein field equations. In addressing this question, Einstein himself always preferred the vacuum approach to the problem: the attempt to derive geodesic motion of matter from the vacuum Einstein equations. The paper first investigates why Einstein was so skeptical of the energy-momentum tensor and its role in GR. Drawing on hitherto unknown correspondence between Einstein and George Yuri Rainich, I then show step by step how his work on the vacuum approach came about, and how his quest for a unified field theory informed his interpretation of GR. I show that Einstein saw GR as a hybrid theory from very early on: fundamental and correct as far as gravity was concerned but phenomenological and effective in how it accounted for matter. As a result, Einstein saw energy-momentum tensors and singularities in GR as placeholders for a theory of matter not yet delivered. The reason he preferred singularities was that he hoped that their mathematical treatment would give a hint as to the sought after theory of matter, a theory that would do justice to quantum features of matter.

description: This work describes extensions to existing level-set algorithms developed for application within the field of Atom Probe Tomography (APT). We present a new simulation tool for the simulation of 3D tomographic volumes, using advanced level set methods. By combining narrow-band, B-Tree and particle-tracing approaches from level-set methods, we demonstrate a practical tool for simulating shape changes to APT samples under applied electrostatic fields, in three dimensions. This work builds upon our previous studies by allowing for non-axially symmetric solutions, with minimal loss in computational speed, whilst retaining numerical accuracy.

description: Many real-world systems can be modeled as interconnected multilayer networks, namely a set of networks interacting with each other. Here we present a perturbative approach to study the properties of a general class of interconnected networks as inter-network interactions are established. We reveal multiple structural transitions for the algebraic connectivity of such systems, between regimes in which each network layer keeps its independent identity or drives diffusive processes over the whole system, thus generalizing previous results reporting a single transition point. Furthermore we show that, at first order in perturbation theory, the growth of the algebraic connectivity of each layer depends only on the degree configuration of the interaction network (projected on the respective Fiedler vector), and not on the actual interaction topology. Our findings can have important implications in the design of robust interconnected networked system, particularly in the presence of network layers whose integrity is more crucial for the functioning of the entire system. We finally show results of perturbation theory applied to the adjacency matrix of the interconnected network, which can be useful to characterize percolation processes on such systems.

description: This study establishes the causal impact of piped water access on child health in rural South Africa (2008–2015) through the use of a panel dataset and a quasi-experimental sample space. By employing an ordinal measure of child health as the dependent variable within linear fixed effects, logit, ordinal probit, and propensity-score matched linear as well as non-linear Difference-in-Difference, it is demonstrated that positive health benefits for children with access to piped water are observed if and only if the minimum level of educational attainment of the primary-caregiver is equal to or greater than seven years. This finding of complementarity is demonstrated to be a function of an individual’s (in)capacity to evaluate water quality: people below this threshold suffer from a piped water bias, place insufficient weight on the observable characteristics of water when determining water quality, and are subsequently less likely to treat piped water preceding consumption.
On the Mechanism of the Primary Charge Separation in Bacterial Photosynthesis

description: We present a detailed analysis of the mechanism of the primary charge separation process in bacterial photosynthesis using real-time path integrals. Direct computer simulations as well as an approximate analytical theory have been employed to map out the dynamics of the charge separation process in many regions of the parameter space relevant to bacterial photosynthesis. Two distinct parameter regions, one characteristic of sequential transfer and the other characteristic of superexchange, have been found to yield charge separation dynamics in agreement with experiments. Nonadiabatic theory provides accurate rate estimates for low-lying and very high-lying bacteriochlorophyll state energies, but it breaks down in between these two regimes.

description: Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) malaria remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity throughout the world. Development of an effective vaccine would be key intervention to reduce the considerable social and economic impact of malaria. Following review of previous work on malaria vaccines, we conducted a Phase Ia, non-randomized clinical trial in 24 healthy, malaria-naïve adults of the chimpanzee adenovirus 63 (ChAd63) and modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) replication-deficient viral vectored vaccines encoding the circumsporozoite protein (CS) of P. falciparum. ChAd63-MVA CS administered in a heterologous prime-boost regime was shown to be safe and immunogenic, inducing high-level T cell responses to CS. With a priming ChAd63 CS dose of 5x109 vp responses peaked at a mean of 1947 SFC/million Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) (median 1524) measured by ELISpot 7 days after the MVA boost and showed a mixed CD4+ / CD8+ phenotype. With a higher priming dose of ChAd63 CS dose 5x1010 vp T cell responses did not increase (mean 1659 SFC/million PBMC, median 1049). Serum IgG responses to CS were modest and peaked at day 14 post ChAd63 CS (median antibody concentration for all groups at day 14 of 1.3µg/ml (range 0 – 11.9), but persisted throughout late follow up (day 140 median antibody concentration groups 1B & 2B 0.9µg/ml (range 0 – 4.7). ChAd63-MVA is a safe and immunogenic delivery platform for the CS antigen in humans which warrants efficacy testing. Use of ChAd63-MVA viral vector, expressing various antigens, is a promising heterologous prime-boost vaccine strategy that could be applied to numerous other diseases where both cellular and humoral immune responses are required for protection. Both vaccines proceeded on to phase IIa controlled human malaria infection challenge and showed some protection. The overall project to produce an effective malaria vaccine continues. This work was a step along the path to that goal.

description: We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions with sharp constants on the distribution $σ$ for the existence of a globally finite energy solution to the quasilinear equation with a gradient source term of natural growth of the form $-Δ_p u = |\nabla u|^p + σ$ in a bounded open set $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. Here $Δ_p$, $p>1$, is the standard $p$-Laplacian operator defined by $Δ_p u={\rm div}\, (|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)$. The class of solutions that we are interested in consists of functions $u\in W^{1,p}_0(Ω)$ such that $e^{μ u}\in W^{1,p}_0(Ω)$ for some $μ>0$ and the inequality \begin{equation*} \int_Ω |φ|^p |\nabla u|^p dx \leq A \int_Ω|\nabla φ|^p dx \end{equation*} holds for all $φ\in C_c^\infty(Ω)$ with some constant $A>0$. This is a natural class of solutions at least when the distribution $σ$ is nonnegative. The study of $-Δ_p u = |\nabla u|^p + σ$ is applied to show the existence of globally finite energy solutions to the quasilinear equation of Schrödinger type $-Δ_p v = σ\, v^{p-1}$, $v\geq 0$ in $Ω$, and $v=1$ on $\partialΩ$, via the exponential transformation $u\mapsto v=e^{\frac{u}{p-1}}$.

description: Potential changes to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) resulting from climate change may have far reaching impacts through atmospheric teleconnections. Here ENSO temperature and precipitation teleconnections between the historical and high-emission future simulations are compared in 40 models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. Focusing on the global land area only, we show that there are robust increases in the spatial extent of ENSO teleconnections during austral summer in 2040–2089 of ~19% for temperature and ~12% for precipitation in the multimodel mean (MMM), relative to the 1950–1999 period. The MMM further shows that the expansion of ENSO teleconnection extent is at least partly related to a strengthening of ENSO teleconnections over continental regions; however, a consistent strengthening is not found across the individual models. This suggests that while more land maybe affected by ENSO, the existing teleconnections may not be simply strengthened.

This is done explicitly for the case of a system interacting with a ``bath'' of harmonic oscillators whose individual motions are neglected. The results are compared to the equations derived from the purely classical theory. The case of linear interactions is treated exactly, and nonlinear interactions are compared using classical and quantum perturbation theory.

Platelet Function in Normal Pregnancy
Creators: name: Burke, Naomi
Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The concept for this thesis arose after a collaboration between the Platelet Biology Laboratory and the Department of Obstetrics and Gyanecology in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. They discovered a significant difference in platelet aggregation in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss using a novel platelet assay. This posed the question as to whether or not this platelet assay would eludicate different platelet reactivity at different time points in a normal, heathy pregnancy. The objective was to critically evaluate platelet reactivity in normal pregnancy using this assay which assessed platelet aggregation to several agonists at multiple submaximal doses using a modification of light transmission aggregometry. Two groups of women were examined in the study; a non-pregnant control group and pregnant women assessed longitudinally in normal pregnancy and in the postnatal period. There are two main findings in this thesis. Firstly, in the first trimester of pregnancy there is a reduction in platelet reactivity compared to the non-pregnant controls in response to collagen, epinephrine and also seen with spontaneous platelet aggregation. Secondly, there was an increase in platelet reactivity in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy in relation to the agonist arachidonic acid. There are a number of potential hypotheses which may explain these findings. Matrix metalloproteinases, prostacyclin, female sex steroids, intrinsic inhibitors of platelets and other coagulation factors are explored in this thesis to identify their hypothetical role in influencing platelet function in pregnancy.
Concepts of Sacrifice and Trauma in Australian War Commemoration
Creators: name: Stephens, John
Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 2015

description: The concept of sacrifice plays a significant role in commemorative ritual because it aids collective amnesia and the forgetting of war trauma. Collective amnesia is the product of several processes, both official and individual, which work to disguise aspects of war trauma represented in war memorial design and in the rituals accompanying war commemoration in memorial landscapes. Although many aspects of remembering and forgetting at war memorials exist in the present age, sacrifice is a concept still invoked to attach meaning to death in war. Although the major conflicts of the twentieth century have become more distant in time, trauma induced by war through the agency of postmemory is still disguised by the notion of sacrifice for the nation. As latter-day war memorials attempt to render different and more difficult aspects of war experience to those of the past, the concept of sacrifice continues to be evoked as a cover for the uncomfortable aspects of war remembrance.

description: Magnetic, dielectric, and magnetoelectric properties in a spin-state transition system are examined, motivated by the recent discovery of a multiferroic behavior in a cobalt oxide. We construct an effective model Hamiltonian based on the two-orbital Hubbard model, in which the spin-state degrees of freedom in magnetic ions couple with ferroelectric-type lattice distortions. A phase transition occurs from the high-temperature low-spin phase to the low-temperature high-spin ferroelectric phase with accompanying an increase of the spin entropy. The calculated results are consistent with the experimental pressure-temperature phase diagram. We predict the magnetic-field induced electric polarization in the low-spin paraelectric phase near the ferroelectric phase boundary.

We find an explicit expression for the $ρ$ parameter that requires the presence of a physical cutoff. This should come as no surprise since the theory is presumably trivial. By taking this cutoff into account, we find that the $ρ$ parameter can take values only within a limited range and has finite ambiguities that are suppressed by inverse powers of the cutoff scale, the so called ``scaling--violations". We find that large deviations from the perturbative results are possible, but only when the cutoff effects are also large.

description: Background Simulation technology is rapidly evolving and becoming the focus of attention in surgical training. However, the development of this technology in assessing open surgical skills is far behind when compared to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) training and assessment. Aim  The overall objective of this thesis is to investigate the assessment tools that are readily available for assessing basic open surgical skills and develop an automated system that could be used in the simulation setting. Materials & Methods We evaluated the observer-dependant assessment tool in assessing basic surgical skills including one-handed knot tying and simple interrupted suturing skills. We established a hand tracking system that consists of an off-the-shelf motion analysis device and software created by our co-supervisor which generates numerical metrics. We investigated the validity of these metrics and we examined the potential application of this invaluable assessment tool. Results The results demonstrated that the observer-dependant assessment tool has poor inter-rater agreement despite its validity in assessing open surgical skills. The validity of the novel hand tracking system was established. We also demonstrated its application in assessing surgical trainees’ progress and also in proficiency-based assessment. Conclusion The hand motion tracking system is a valid assessment tool in evaluating performance in open surgical skills and has a potential significant role in the proficiency-based surgical training programme.

description: We show that black holes fulfill the scaling laws arising in critical transitions. In particular, we find that in the transition from negative to positive values the heat capacities $C_{JQ}$, $C_{ΩQ}$ and $C_{JΦ}$ give rise to critical exponents satisfying the scaling laws. The three transitions have the same critical exponents as predicted by the universality Hypothesis. We also briefly discuss the implications of this result with regards to the connections among gravitation, quantum mechanics and statistical physics.

Placental Pathology in Twin Pregnancies

description: Twin pregnancies remain a challenge in perinatal medicine, with significantly higher rates of complications and increased perinatal morbidity and mortality when compared to singletons. Abnormal growth in twins is a significant independent contributory factor to this increased morbidity, and knowledge of the underlying pathological processes governing growth disorders in twins is vital to improving our antenatal surveillance and clinical management of these pregnancies. We performed a comprehensive study of the placental factors governing growth and development of twin pregnancies in a large, prospectively collected cohort of twins. Placental pathology was evaluated in terms of gross placental abnormalities and histopathological variants with further stereological studies then performed on a selected cohort of placentas. The findings of this study emphasised the differing pathologies underlying disordered growth in monochorionic and dichorionic twin pregnancies. Placentas of monochorionic twins with discordant growth and intrauterine growth restriction showed increased rates of gross abnormalities such as abnormalities of umbilical cord insertion. This likely reflects the unequal placental sharing that may lead to growth discordance among these twins. In contrast, placentas from dichorionic twins with abnormal growth displayed histopathological features consistent with uteroplacental insufficiency. The stereological studies of dichorionic twins further confirmed this with placentas from growth restricted dichorionic twins displaying a reduction in surface area and volume of terminal villi and capillaries. In addition the stereological studies contrasting normal twins and normal singletons gave an interesting insight into the adaptive mechanisms at play to maintain growth in multiple pregnancies. The findings of this study reinforce the importance of accurate assessment of chorionicity in twins, targeted ultrasound assessment including evaluation of placental cord insertion and selected use of multi-vessel Doppler studies to evaluate fetal well-being as part of antenatal ultrasound surveillance.
Memorial Planning in Berlin, London and New York

description: This paper comparatively examines how three major world cities plan for the ongoing development of memorials in their public spaces. The predominant focus is on memorials that have been erected in these cities over the past two decades, many of which have new forms and address new subjects. Each city has strategies for regulating the themes, sites and designs of future memorial proposals, because of significant ongoing demand, and to calibrate commemoration against other land use needs. Drawing upon interviews with city planners and memorial designers, analysis of planning documents and project briefs, and spatial analysis of memorial layouts, the paper analyses the needs, opportunities, constraints and historical contexts that are shaping new memorial development. It identifies the aims, principles and practices of the plans and regulations that guide memorial locations, designs and subject matter. It examines the historical evolution of formal memorial planning strategies and regulations in each city in relation to proposals and designs for individual new memorials and the availability of particular sites.

Gravitational Collider Physics

description: Gravitational wave astronomy will play a transformative role in astrophysics; can it do the same for particle physics? An ultralight bosonic field will extract mass and angular momentum from a rapidly spinning black hole, forming a gravitationally bound condensate reminiscent of the hydrogen atom. This "gravitational atom" will have nontrivial dynamics if it is part of a binary inspiral. I will argue that these dynamics can be described as a series of "scattering" events, quantified by an S-matrix, during which there can be large corrections to the inspiral trajectory and thus the resulting gravitational wave signal. These corrections can then be used to infer the mass and spin of the boson, turning binary inspirals into ultralight particle detectors.

description: This paper examines a work in progress, the St Andrews Bushfire Memorial, which commemorates victims of the 7 February 2009 bushfires in Victoria, Australia. The paper’s intent is threefold: to describe and reflect on a current and ongoing memorial design project; to frame this project within a larger series of design discourses; and to examine the processes by which this memorial, but also many other grassroots or ‘bottom-up’ memorials, come into being. By examining the design process, I aim to open up various memorialisation and consultation methods for review. More importantly, however, by framing this project in contemporary discussions regarding socially engaged design practices, I offer a critique of the dictator–democrat binaries mentioned above and offer another way forward.
