description: Inducing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation is an active research field for its functional extension. Herein, we presented a simple but efficient method for fast preparation of CaCO3 thin film induced by 1-naphthoic acid (1 N) at organic-aqueous interface. The film structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffractometry. Grain growth and morphology of the quickly formed thin film are described. The results indicate the thickness of the film can reach 5–20 µm, with promotion and acceleration of mineralization between liquid–liquid interface induced by 1 N. These results shed light on the importance of organic molecule-induced crystallization of CaCO3 and open a novel synthetic route for its precipitation.
The Effect of Liver Transplantation on Natural Killer Cell Function
Creators: name: Jamil, Khaleel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Liver transplantation (LT) is a definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular cancer. As donor-recipient HLA matching is not employed, there is potential for natural killer (NK) cell-mediated alloreactivity. In practise this is not observed, and to date the recipient NK response to LT has not been characterized. This thesis describes a detailed investigation into LT recipient NK cell phenotype, function and activity. Lymphocytes were extracted from peripheral blood samples taken from LT recipients. Expression of activating receptors on NK cells was assessed using flow cytometry assays, and NK function was analysed with functional assays. Recipient NK cells exhibited a downregulated phenotype with reduced expression of activating receptors NKp30 and NKp46. There was associated hypofunctionality, with impaired NK cell cytotoxicity, degranulation and IFNγ production. These changes were found only within the differentiated CD56dim subset, and not in CD56bright cells, implying a maturation defect between the two stages of development. Similar findings were not observed in LT recipients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), indicating a counteracting activating effect of HCV. To explore a mechanism for the downregulation observed a microarray experiment was performed, with subsequent qPCR analysis. In LT there was downregulation of STAT-4 with associated reduction in miR-155, a microRNA target of STAT-4 and a key regulator of NK differentiation. Functional assays demonstrated impairment of the IL-12/STAT-4 pathway in LT recipients. The altered NK phenotype and gene expression were not recapitulated in vitro with immunosuppressants. The influence of HLA mismatching on LT outcome remains controversial, and this was addressed by analysing donor HLA and recipient HLA and KIR typing. No associations between HLA and HLA/KIR mismatching, NK cell activation, and clinical outcomes were found. Taken together, the data presented in this thesis indicate that LT induces recipient NK cell tolerance through altered peripheral maturation at a step prior to the acquisition of inhibitory receptors for HLA class I. Consistent with this, HLA-C matching does not influence NK alloreactivity in LT.

description: Quantum logic gates provide fundamental examples of conditional quantum dynamics. They could form the building blocks of general quantum information processing systems which have recently been shown to have many interesting non--classical properties. We describe a simple quantum logic gate, the quantum controlled--NOT, and analyse some of its applications. We discuss two possible physical realisations of the gate; one based on Ramsey atomic interferometry and the other on the selective driving of optical resonances of two subsystems undergoing a dipole--dipole interaction.

description: We compute the predictions for the power spectrum of scalar perturbations from a recent new proposal for the effective Hamiltonian of loop quantum cosmology. The model provides an attractive picture of the early cosmos, in which our classical Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universe emerges from a quantum phase where the spacetime curvature remains constant and of Planckian size. We compare the predictions for the cosmic microwave background with previous results obtained within loop quantum cosmology, and discuss the differences and similarities. The analysis provides an example of the way differences between quantization schemes can be translated to physical observables.

description: A new approach to calculate the vibrational distribution function of molecules in a medium providing energy for vibrational excitation is proposed and demonstrated. The approach is an improvement of solution methods based on the drift-diffusion Fokker-Planck (FP) equation for a double differentiable function representing the vibrational populations on a continuum internal energy scale. A self-consistent numerical solution avoids approximations used in previous analytical solutions. The dissociation flux, a key parameter in the FP equation, is fixed using the kinetics of molecular dissociation from near-continuum levels, so that the vibrational kinetics becomes a functional problem. The approach is demonstrated for the kinetics of asymmetric stretching of CO2, showing that it represents an alternative, potentially much more efficient in computational terms, to the presently usual state-to-state approach which is based on the kinetics of the populations of individual levels, and gives complementary insight into the dissociation process.

Modelling as a tool for increasing the specific productivity of single-chain antibody fragments from Pichia pastoris
Creators: name: Royle, Kate
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Pichia pastoris is a commonly used recombinant protein expression host, predominantly due to ease of genetic manipulation and its capacity for high cell densities in cheap culture media. While considerable yields can be achieved in this way, the specific productivity is relatively low. Consequently, the full impact of this host on industrial biotechnology has not yet been realised. This research aimed to develop a strategy to optimise production of single chain antibody fragments (scFvs), an industrially relevant protein, using an integrated modelling and experimental approach. Initially, a dynamic model was constructed from literature sources to reproduce the scFv production pathway in P. pastoris. It incorporated aspects of transcription, translation, folding and misfolding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Moreover, the unfolded protein response (UPR) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) were added as these two stress pathways are crucial to productivity. Simulations qualitatively reproduced phenomena including secretion saturation and the negative influence of high gene copy numbers on yield. The model was used to target evaluation of the experimental system: P. pastoris strains expressing the scFvs BC1 and MFE23. RT Q-PCR and LC-MS/MS results revealed some surprising correlations between certain factors, such as the concentration of Kar2 and PDI, and yield. Moreover, it showed that there was more than one route to high productivity. Finally, it suggested that there may be an internal regulation of Kar2 that would be crucial to strategies aiming to increase yield through overexpression of that chaperone. Together, the results revealed a more complex picture of productivity than previously understood. In order to develop a strategy for optimal scFv production in P. pastoris, a greater understanding of the underlying biology and biochemistry is required. This research has suggested targets for future work which should generate insight into the network of factors responsible.

description: Patients with asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) account for 15–20% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the incidence increases with age. Patients with ACO have worse outcomes without proper treatment than those with COPD alone. However, the current diagnostic criteria of ACO are mainly based on symptom features and lack of objective indicators. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) was higher in ACO than in COPD alone. Thus, this study aims to determine the diagnostic value of FeNO in differentiating ACO from COPD and assisting clinical decision-making. We conducted searches in the databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase to extract original studies. In all, 10 studies involving 1335 participants were included in this meta-analysis. FeNO level was significantly higher in ACO patients than in patients with COPD alone (WMD = 11.15ppb, 95%CI = 9.01‒13.28; I2 = 18.0%, p = 0.000). The sensitivity and specificity of FeNO in distinguishing ACO from COPD were both 0.71, and the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.76, indicating that FeNO has moderate diagnostic accuracy in differentiating ACO from COPD. FeNO as an inflammatory biomarker is effective in differentiating ACO from COPD and assisting in clinical decision-making.

description: New BVI CCD photometry is presented for 60 RR Lyrae variables in the globular cluster M3. Light curves have been constructed and ephemerides have been (re)-derived for all of them. Four stars (i.e. V29, V136, V155 and V209), although recognized as variables, had no previous period determinations. Also, the period derived for V129 is significantly different from the one published by Sawyer-Hogg (1973). Light curve parameters, i.e. mean magnitudes, amplitudes and rise-times, have been derived. The discussion of these results in the framework of the stellar evolution and pulsation theories will be presented in a forthcoming paper.

description: This paper investigates the concept of ‘drive by’ bridge inspection, a low cost alternative to Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), involving no sensors on the bridge. The concept may be of particular value after an extreme event, such as an earthquake or a flood, where a rapid indication of bridge condition is needed. Vehicle/bridge dynamic interaction is modelled to test the effectiveness of the approach. Damage is simulated here as a change in the bridge damping ratio. Two quarter-cars are simulated crossing the bridge with accelerometers on board. A frequency domain analysis then illustrates changes in the Power Spectral Density of the accelerations as the bridge becomes damaged. The time-lagged difference in the accelerations is found to be effective in detecting damage. Results are compared to those with sensors on the bridge and found to be similar.

description: We interpret the probability rule of the CSL collapse theory to mean that the scalar field which causes collapse is the grvitational curvature scalar with two sources, the expectation value of the mass density and a white noise fluctuating source. We examine two models of the fluctuating source, monopole fluctuations and dipole fluctuations, and show that these correspond to two well known collapse models. We relate the two GRW parameters of CSL to fundamental constants, and explain the energy increase as arising from the loss of vacuum gravitational energy. It is shown how a problem with semi-classical grvity may be cured when it is combined with a CSL collapse model.

When Freeze-out Precedes Freeze-in: Sub-TeV Fermion Triplet Dark Matter with Radiative Neutrino Mass

description: We propose a minimal predictive scenario for dark matter and radiative neutrino mass where the relic abundance of dark matter is generated from a hybrid setup comprising of both thermal freeze-out as well as non-thermal freeze-in mechanisms. Considering three copies of fermion triplets and one scalar doublet, odd under an unbroken $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, to be responsible for radiative origin of neutrino mass, we consider the lightest fermion triplet as a dark matter candidate which remains under-abundant in the sub-TeV regime from usual thermal freeze-out. Late decay of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-odd scalar doublet into dark matter serves as the non-thermal (freeze-in) contribution which not only fills the thermal dark matter deficit, but also constrains the mother particle's parameter space so that the correct relic abundance of dark matter is generated. Apart from showing interesting differences from the purely freeze-out and purely freeze-in dark matter scenarios, the model remains testable through disappearing charge track signatures at colliders, observable direct and indirect detection rates for dark matter and prediction of almost vanishing lightest neutrino mass.

Investigating the dynamics of a Bose Einstein condensate on an atom chip
Creators: name: Barr, Iain
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis I discuss work that has been carried out on the dynamics of a Bose Einstein condensate of Rb 87 produced near an atom chip. A Bose Einstein Condensate (BEC) is a quantum state of matter where a single quantum state becomes occupied by a macroscopic number of identical Bosons. In our case this is achieved by cooling a system of trapped identical rubidium 87 atoms to its ground state. To reach temperatures of condensation we initially laser cool atoms from room temperature, before loading them into a magnetic trap. The magnetic trap is produced through a combination of uniform magnetic fields from coils outside our vacuum chamber and currents running through wires on an atom chip. The atom chip is a microfabricated device, produced by a coating a silicon chip with a thin layer of gold and etching wires into it. Together, these fields create a magnetic field minimum 120μm from the surface of the chip which can be used to confine low field seeking hyperfine states of the atom in an elongated harmonic trap. Once the atoms are confined in the magnetic trap we used force evaporative cooling out to reach the phase space densities required for Bose Einstein condensation. The BEC is used to investigate the relative dynamics between the fraction of the atoms in the condensate to those not in the condensate. Our atom chip provided a suitable environment to investigate this due to fragmentation of the magnetic potential close to the chip. Small imperfections in the wires on our atom chip mean that the trapping potential isn’t smooth. Small regions of higher trapping frequency - or fragments - are formed. Due to the small size of these fragments it is possible to find a position where a condensate can form in the fragment, and see a potential of high frequency, whereas a non-condensed atom will see a lower frequency potential. We exploit this to set the condensed fraction moving relative to the non condensed part and investigate the subsequent damping of their motion relative to each other.

description: In this paper we present a new method that can be used for analysis of time of arrival of a pulsar pulses (TOAs). It is designated especially to detect quasi-periodic variations of TOAs. We apply our method to timing observations of PSR B1257+12 and demonstrate that using it it is possible to detect not only first harmonics of a periodic variations, but also the presence of a resonance effect. The resonance effect detected, independently of its physical origin, can appear only when there is a non-linear interaction between two periodic modes. The explanation of TOAs variations as an effect of the existence of planets is, till now, the only known and well justified. In this context, the existence of the resonance frequency in TOAs is the most significant signature of the gravitational interaction of planets.

description: The first nearby very-low mass star planet-host discovered, TRAPPIST-1, presents not only a unique opportunity for studying a system of multiple terrestrial planets, but a means to probe magnetospheric interactions between a star at the end of the main sequence and its close-in satellites. This encompasses both the possibility of persistent coronal solar-like activity, despite cool atmospheric temperatures, and the presence of large-scale magnetospheric currents, similar to what is seen in the Jovian system. Significantly, the current systems include a crucial role for close-in planetary satellites analogous to the role played by the Galilean satellites around Jupiter. We present the first radio observations of the seven-planet TRAPPIST-1 system using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, looking for both highly circularly polarized radio emission and/or persistent quiescent emissions. We measure a broadband upper flux density limit of <8.1 $μ$Jy across 4-8 GHz, and place these observations both in the context of expectations for stellar radio emission, and the possible electrodynamic engines driving strong radio emissions in very-low mass stars and brown dwarfs, with implications for future radio surveys of TRAPPIST-1 like planet-hosts. We conclude that magnetic activity of TRAPPIST-1 is predominantly coronal and does not behave like the strong radio emitters at the stellar/sub-stellar boundary. We further discuss the potential importance of magnetic field topology and rotation rates, demonstrating that a TRAPPIST-1 like planetary system around a rapidly rotating very-low mass star can generate emission consistent with the observed radio luminosities of very-low mass stars and brown dwarfs.

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: We report relations between inner ($<1$ au) super Earths (planets with mass/radius between Earth and Neptune) and outer ($>1$ au) giant planets (mass $>0.3~M_{\rm J}$, or cold Jupiters) around Sun-like stars, based on data from both ground-based radial velocity (RV) observations and the Kepler mission. We find that cold Jupiters appear three times more often around hosts of super Earths than they do around field stars. Given the prevalence of the super Earth systems, their cold Jupiters can account for nearly all cold Jupiters. In other words, cold Jupiters are almost certainly ($\sim90\%$) companied by super Earths. A few corollaries follow: (1) around metal-rich ([Fe/H]$>0.1$) stars, the fraction of super Earths with cold Jupiters can rise to $60\%$ or higher; (2) the inner architecture can be strongly impacted by the outer giant and we report some observational evidence for this; (3) planetary systems like our own, with cold Jupiters but no super Earths, should be rare ($\sim1\%$). The strong correlation between super Earths and cold Jupiters establish that super Earths and cold Jupiters do not compete for solid material, rather, they share similar origins, with the cold Jupiter formation requiring a somewhat more stringent condition. Lastly, we propose a few immediate observational tests of our results, using ground-based RV observations and ongoing/planned space missions.

description: We study composite D-wave superconductors consisting of randomly oriented and randomly distributed superconducting droplets embedded into a matrix. In a certain range of parameters the application of a small magnetic field enhances the superconductivity in these materials while larger fields suppress superconductivity as usual in conventional superconductors. We investigate the magnetic field dependence of the superfluid density and the critical temperature of such superconductors.

On the application of the mirror model for gamma-ray flare in 3C 27

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998

description: Multiwavelength observations of high energy flare in 1996 from 3C 279 seems to favour the so called mirror model between different inverse Compton scattering models proposed as a possible explanation of gamma-ray emission in blazars. We performed kinematic analysis of the relativistic blob - mirror system and found that only part of the mirror located very close to the jet axis (very likely inside the jet cone) can re-emit soft photons which serve as a target for production of $γ$-rays by relativistic electrons in the blob. Since the presence of well localized scattering mirror inside the jet is problematic, this makes problems for the mirror model. The time scale and the shape of the $γ$-ray flare should reflect, in terms of the mirror model, the blob dimensions and the longitudinal distribution of relativistic electrons inside the blob. For the $γ$-ray light curve of the type observed in 1996 from 3C 279, i.e. the rising time of the flare during a few days with a sharp cut-off towards the end of the flare, the density of electrons inside the blob should increase exponentially starting from the front of the blob and reach maximum towards the end of the blob. Such distribution of electrons is difficult to explain in a model of a relativistic shock moving along the jet, which would rather inject electrons more efficiently at the front of the blob with a trail of particles on its downstream side.

Dictionaries for fast and informative dynamic MRI acquisition
Creators: name: Caballero, Jose
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an invaluable tool for medical research and diagnosis but suffers from inefficiencies. The speed of its acquisition mechanism, based on sequentially probing the interactions between nuclear atom spins and a changing magnetic field, is limited by atomic properties and scanner physics. Modern sampling techniques termed compressed sensing have nevertheless demonstrated how near perfect reconstructions are possible from undersampled, accelerated acquisitions, showing promise for more efficient MR acquisition paradigms. At the same time, information extraction from MR images through image analysis implies a considerable dimensionality reduction, in which an image is processed for the extraction of a few clinically useful parameters. This signals an inefficient handling of information in the separated treatment of acquisition and analysis that could be tackled by joining these two essential stages of the imaging pipeline. In this thesis, we explore the use of adaptive sparse modelling for novel acquisition strategies of cardiac cine MR data. Conventional compressed sensing MR acquisition relies on fixed basis transforms for sparse modelling, which are only able to guarantee suboptimal sparse modelling. We introduce spatio-temporal dictionaries that are able to optimally adapt sparse modelling by absorbing salient features of cardiac cine data, and demonstrate how they can outperform sampling methods based on fixed basis transforms. Additionally, we extend the framework introduced to handle parallel data acquisition. Given the flexibility of the formulation, we show how it can be combined with a labelling model that provides a segmentation of the image as a by-product of the reconstruction, hence performing joint reconstruction and analysis.
The relationship between particle size, cell design and air recovery: the effect on flotation performance

description: Froth flotation is an established method of separating mineral from its associated ore. Although there has been many years of research and development, there remains much room for development. A 4 L bench-scale, continuously overflowing and recycling single species flotation system was developed for this work. It was used to investigate the effect of particle size and retrofit designs on air recovery, a measure of froth stability, as well as the solid and liquid flowrates of the system. Particle size had an effect on air recovery and flotation performance. An increase in solids flowrate corresponded with a decrease in the particle size in the concentrate. When air recovery was below 50 %, the peak in solids flowrate corresponded with the peak in air recovery. The addition of a retrofit design, a horizontal mesh of varying hole-size and thickness, was tested at a range of superficial gas velocities in a three-way full factorial trial. It was shown that a mesh of 30 mm hole-size and 40 mm thickness resulted in a statistically significant improvement in solids flowrate to the concentrate, when compared with the unmodified base case. Position Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) provided an opportunity to make qualitative and quantitative assessments of particle behaviour within the pulp and froth. PEPT data indicated that in the unmodified base case, swirl from the pulp continued in the lower froth, a behaviour never observed before. Variation in mesh hole-size lead to visible changes in tracer trajectories, and an increase in mesh thickness resulted in both tracers entering the froth more frequently. This work has developed a novel experimental system capable of determining the effects of a range of operational and design parameters on air recovery and flotation performance, and has corroborated and justified the trends seen through statistical analysis and novel imaging techniques.

Understanding open quantum systems with coupled harmonic oscillators

description: When a quantum system interacts with many other quantum mechanical objects, the behaviour of the system is strongly affected; this is referred to as an open quantum system (OQS). Since the inception of quantum theory the development of OQSs has been synonymous with realistic descriptions of quantum mechanical models. With recent activity in the advancement of quantum technologies, there has been vested interest in manipulating OQSs. Therefore understanding and controlling environmental effects, by structuring environments, has become an important field. The method of choice for tackling OQSs is the master equation approach, which requires approximations and doesn’t allow direct assessment of the environment. This thesis tackles the issues of OQSs with an unorthodox method; we employ a series of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators to simulate an OQS. This permits the use of the covariance matrix technique which allows us to avoid approximations and analyse the environment modes. We investigate the Markov approximation and Rotating-Wave approximation (RWA), which are commonly used in the field. By considering four OQS models, we study an entanglement-based non-Markovian behaviour (NMB) quantifier (ENMBQ). The relevance of detuning, coupling strength and bath structures in determining the amount of NMB is noted. A brief study of the factors that affect a fidelity-based NMB quantifier is also conducted. We also analyse the effect on the ENMBQ if the terms excluded by the RWA are included in the models. Finally, an examination of the applicability of the RWA in the presence of strong coupling is undertaken in a three oscillator model. The fidelity-based analysis utilised could allow one to ascertain when and if the RWA can be applied to a model of interest, including OQSs. The knowledge within, and the methodology used throughout this thesis, could arm researchers with insights to control the flow of quantum information in their systems.

A text messaging approach to behavioural change, tailored using the transtheoretical model, in the primary prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Asian Indians
Creators: name: Sundaram, Selvam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Landmark diabetes prevention trials have shown that lifestyle modification is effective in preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D). In general, information technology with short message service (SMS) and interventions based on behavioral theories of individualized motivation are more effective than non-tailored intervention. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is a combination of behavioral theory and stage-based theory. We used TTM-tailored healthy lifestyle and motivating SMS messages as an intervention strategy in a 2-year prospective randomized controlled diabetes prevention trial with two groups (control n=266: intervention n=271) of men with impaired glucose tolerance. The main objectives were: 1. To study the utility and acceptability of TTM-based SMS in reducing the incidence of T2D. 2. To analyse the change in TTM stages in the study groups in lifestyle factors (diet and physical activity practices) with respect to incidence of diabetes at the end of the study. 3. To analyse the effects of TTM tailored SMS intervention on quality of life and general health and diabetes awareness. Evaluation tools included: 1.TTM stages of change inventory for diet and physical activity practices. 2. SMS acceptability questionnaire. 3. WHOQOL-BREF (quality of life) questionnaire. 4. General health and diabetes awareness questionnaire. Questionnaires 1 and 2 were study-specific and developed by the candidate whereas 3 and 4 were standardized. Dietary and physical activity questionnaires had been used in previous diabetes prevention studies in India. The TTM-based SMS intervention reduced the incidence of T2D (50 [18%] intervention group; 73 [27%], control group (absolute risk reduction 9%)). Significant differences in TTM stage were observed in the intervention group (p<0.05) at six and twenty-four months for dietary practices. Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed in physical activity practices only at six months. SMS helped improve quality of life. Significant improvement (p<0.001) was observed in general health awareness and diabetes awareness in the intervention group at the end of the study. The TTM-based SMS intervention was associated with reduced incidence of T2D. The intervention helped improve dietary habits. It also helped improve QOL and general health and diabetes awareness level.
