description: Evaluation of likelihood functions for cosmological large scale structure data sets (including CMB, galaxy redshift surveys, etc.) naturally involves marginalization, i.e., integration, over an unknown underlying random signal field. Recently, I showed how a renormalization group method can be used to carry out this integration efficiently by first integrating out the smallest scale structure, i.e., localized structure on the scale of differences between nearby data cells, then combining adjacent cells in a coarse graining step, then repeating this process over and over until all scales have been integrated. Here I extend the formulation in several ways in order to reduce the prefactor on the method's linear scaling with data set size. The key improvement is showing how to integrate out the difference between specific adjacent cells before summing them in the coarse graining step, compared to the original formulation in which small-scale fluctuations were integrated more generally. I suggest some other improvements in details of the scheme, including showing how to perform the integration around a maximum likelihood estimate for the underlying random field. In the end, an accurate likelihood computation for a million-cell Gaussian test data set runs in two minutes on my laptop, with room for further optimization and straightforward parallelization.

description: Clinical trials on the use of COVID-19 convalescent plasma remain inconclusive. While data on safety is increasingly available, evidence for efficacy is still sparse. Subgroup analyses hint to a dose-response relationship between convalescent plasma neutralizing antibody levels and mortality. In particular, patients with primary and secondary antibody deficiency might benefit from this approach. However, testing of neutralizing antibodies is limited to specialized biosafety level 3 laboratories and is a time- and labor-intense procedure. In this single center study of 206 COVID-19 convalescent patients, clinical data, results of commercially available ELISA testing of SARS-CoV-2 spike-IgG and -IgA, and levels of neutralizing antibodies, determined by plaque reduction neutralization testing (PRNT), were analyzed. At a medium time point of 58 days after symptom onset, only 12.6% of potential plasma donors showed high levels of neutralizing antibodies (PRNT50 >= 1:320). Multivariable proportional odds logistic regression analysis revealed need for hospitalization due to COVID-19 (odds ratio 6.87; p-value 0.0004) and fever (odds ratio 3.00; p-value 0.0001) as leading factors affecting levels of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titers in convalescent plasma donors. Using penalized estimation, a predictive proportional odds logistic regression model including the most important variables hospitalization, fever, age, sex, and anosmia or dysgeusia was developed. The predictive discrimination for PRNT50 >= 1:320 was reasonably good with AUC: 0.86 (with 95% CI: 0.79-0.92). Combining clinical and ELISA-based pre-screening, assessment of neutralizing antibodies could be spared in 75% of potential donors with a maximal loss of 10% of true positives (PRNT50 >= 1:320).

description: Le recyclage et la valorisation des déchets du BTP constituent aujourd’hui des enjeux environnementaux majeurs. Le gypse, très largement utilisé dans le bâtiment, génère environ 400 000 tonnes de déchets par an en France. L’activation thermique du gypse naturel ou de synthèse est bien connue et maîtrisée, notamment pour la production de plâtre ou d’anhydrite. Cette étude s’intéresse à la revalorisation par calcination flash d’un gypse provenant d’une installation de recyclage, à l’aide d’un four flash prototype aux paramètres de réglages multiples. Afin de comparer le comportement à l’activation thermique du gypse recyclé, un gypse plus « noble », issu d’un plâtre industriel hydraté est également utilisé. Différentes températures de cuisson ont permis d’obtenir des produits aux réactivités différentes. Les gypses initiaux ainsi que les produits cuits sont caractérisés par DRX et ATG. Les résultats montrent que les comportements d’un gypse « noble » issu d’un plâtre industriel hydraté et d’un gypse recyclé sont semblables lors de l’activation thermique par calcination flash. Cette étude conduit à identifier les conditions de calcination permettant d’atteindre différentes phases hydratées ou anhydres du sulfate de calcium.

description: We have developed an event generator, named GR@PPA_4b, for the four bottom quark (b bbar b bbar) production processes at PP and PPbar collisions. The program implements all of the possible processes at the tree level within the framework of the Standard Model. Users can generate events from the Higgs boson and photon/Z mediated processes, as well as those from pure QCD interactions. The integration and the event generation are performed within the newly developed GR@PPA framework, an extension of the GRACE automatic event-generator generation system to hadron collisions. This program is so designed that it can be embedded in a general-purpose event generator PYTHIA version 6.1. PYTHIA adds the initial- and final-state parton showers and simulates the hadronization and decays to make generated events realistic. It should be emphasized that a huge number of diagrams and complicated four-body kinematics are dealt with strictly in GR@PPA_4b. This program will be useful for studies of Higgs boson productions, especially those in extended models where the Yukawa coupling to b quarks is greatly enhanced.

description: Mitochondria are critical for hypothalamic function and regulators of metabolism. Hypothalamic mitochondrial dysfunction with decreased mitochondrial chaperone expression is present in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recently, we demonstrated that a dysregulated mitochondrial stress response (MSR) with reduced chaperone expression in the hypothalamus is an early event in obesity development due to insufficient insulin signaling. Although insulin activates this response and improves metabolism, the metabolic impact of one of its members, the mitochondrial chaperone heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10), is unknown. Thus, we hypothesized that a reduction of Hsp10 in hypothalamic neurons will impair mitochondrial function and impact brain insulin action. Therefore, we investigated the role of chaperone Hsp10 by introducing a lentiviral-mediated Hsp10 knockdown (KD) in the hypothalamic cell line CLU-183 and in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of C57BL/6N male mice. We analyzed mitochondrial function and insulin signaling utilizing qPCR, Western blot, XF96 Analyzer, immunohistochemistry, and microscopy techniques. We show that Hsp10 expression is reduced in T2D mice brains and regulated by leptin in vitro. Hsp10 KD in hypothalamic cells induced mitochondrial dysfunction with altered fatty acid metabolism and increased mitochondria-specific oxidative stress resulting in neuronal insulin resistance. Consequently, the reduction of Hsp10 in the ARC of C57BL/6N mice caused hypothalamic insulin resistance with acute liver insulin resistance.

description: We study the evolution of embedded protoplanets in a protostellar disk using very high resolution nested-grid computations. This method allows us to perform global simulations of planets orbiting in disks and, at the same time, to resolve in detail the dynamics of the flow inside the Roche lobe of the planet. The primary interest of this work lies in the analysis of the gravitational torque balance acting on the planet. For this purpose we study planets of different masses, ranging from one Earth-mass up to one Jupiter-mass, assuming typical parameters of the protostellar disk. The high resolution of the method allows a precise determination of the mass flow onto the planet and the resulting torques. The obtained migration time scales are in the range from few times 10^4 years, for intermediate mass planets, to 10^6 years, for very low and high mass planets. Typical growth time scales depend strongly on the planetary mass, ranging from a few hundred years, in the case of Earth-type planets, to several ten thousand years, in the case of Jupiter-type planets.

L’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’étudier les effets des rayonnements gamma de faible débit de dose sur le comportement physico-chimique et hydro-thermo-mécanique du béton. Des expériences à différentes échelles ont donc été réalisées au cours de cette thèse. Des mortiers et des pâtes de ciment ont été irradiés dans un irradiateur gamma (E = 0,667 MeV, LET = 0,23 keV.μm-1) sur le site du cyclotron Arronax (Saint-Herblain, France). La variation des résistances en flexion et en compression a été déterminée pour différents types de matériaux (mortier humide, sec et carbonaté et pâte cimentaire sèche et carbonatée) montrant une importante diminution des propriétés mécaniques. Ces variations ont été expliquées par des études physico-chimiques (MET, indentation, DRX, RMN …) de silicates de calcium hydratés (C-S-H), phase prédominante du béton, montrant une modification sous rayonnement gamma. Les résultats microscopiques et macroscopiques ont ainsi été comparés afin de comprendre l’évolution d’un matériau cimentaire sous rayonnement gamma de faible débit de dose.

description: Atom interferometers typically use the total populations the interferometer's output ports as the signal, but finer spatial structure can contain useful information. We pattern a matter-wave phase profile onto an atomic sample. An interferometer translates the phase into a measurable pattern in the atomic density that we use perform the first direct precision measurement of the $^7$Li tune-out wavelength near 671 nm. Expressed as a detuning from the $|2S_{1/2},F{=}2\rangle{\rightarrow}|2P_{1/2},F'{=}2\rangle$ transition, we find 3329.3(1.4) MHz for the tensor-shifted tune out of the $|2S_{1/2},F{=}2,m_F{=}0\rangle$ state with $σ^\pm$ light polarization and 3310.1(4.9) MHz for the tune out of the the scalar polarizability. This technique may be generalized for directly sensing spatially varying phase profiles.

description: Les nombreuses investigations menées dans le cadre de l’étude de la durabilité des bétons ont montré que l’expansion volumique est le principal phénomène responsable de la dégradation des matériaux cimentaires soumis aux agressions sulfatiques. En prenant en compte les cinétiques de dissolution/précipitation des différentes espèces solides, des modèles numériques ont permis de montrer que la précipitation de l’ettringite serait la principale cause de cette expansion. Toutefois, ces études ne présentent pas clairement l’ordre chronologique d’apparition des différents processus conduisant à la précipitation de cette ettringite, bien que ces processus soient relativement bien connus. Dans la présente étude, nous proposons un scénario de dégradation des bétons en se basant sur l’analyse des résultats d’études numériques antérieures, réalisées sur des pâtes de ciment de type CEM 1 en contact avec une solution de sulfate de sodium concentrée à 3g/l et 4g/l. L’analyse comparative des produits de solubilité des différentes réactions montre que les différents processus s’enchaînent suivant un ordre bien déterminé et permet de mieux comprendre l’origine de la dégradation des matériaux cimentaires.

Multidirectional flow and LRG1 in endothelial cells: potential atheroprotective role
Creators: name: Pang, Kuin Tian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Haemodynamic wall shear stress affects the function of arterial endothelial cells (ECs). Low magnitude, oscillatory and multidirectional shear have all been postulated to stimulate endothelial activation, whereas high magnitude and uniaxial shear are thought to promote endothelial homeostasis. The effects of shear interact with the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines; they are mediated by complex signal transduction pathways and together may account for the patchy nature of atherosclerosis. The swirling-well system was used to investigate shear-induced endothelial activation. The method involves culturing ECs in standard multi-well plates on the platform of an orbital shaker to induce complex flow profiles. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation revealed that the swirling medium produces low magnitude multidirectional flow (LMMF) in the centre of the well and high magnitude uniaxial flow (HMUF) at the edge. A disadvantage of the method is that sheared ECs may release soluble mediators that become mixed in the swirling medium, and corrupt of apparent relations between shear and ECs properties. This drawback was resolved using a novel coating method that restricts cell growth to specific regions of the well. This modification permitted the demonstration that ECs do indeed release anti-inflammatory soluble mediators under HMMF. Leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) is a pro-angiogenic protein intimately linked with inflammation. Its role in endothelial activation was investigated. ECs activated by TNF-α treatment and LMMF showed higher LRG1 expression. The protein suppressed endothelial NF-κB signalling, EC adhesion molecules expression, and monocyte recruitment. Mechanistically, LRG1 caused TNFR1 shedding via the ALK5-SMAD2 pathway and the activation of ADAM10. LRG1 was highly expressed in ECs of stenotic arteries; it was found at high concentrations in the serum of critical limb ischemia patients and correlated with sTNFR1 concentrations. These data are consistent with a novel role for LRG1 in endothelial activation and a significant influence on atherogenesis.

description: We have analyzed an XMM-Newton observation of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 1313, which contains two "ultra-luminous" X-ray (ULX) sources. We measure isotropic luminosities of L_X = 2.0 * 10^(40) erg/s and L_X = 6.6 * 10^(39) erg/s for NGC 1313 X-1 and X-2 (0.2-10.0 keV, assuming a distance of 3.7 Mpc). The spectra statistically require soft and hard spectral components to describe the continuum emission; some prior studies of ULXs have claimed cool soft components with lower statistics. The improvement over several single-component models exceeds the 8 sigma level of confidence for X-1; the improvement for X-2 is significant at the 3 sigma level. The soft components in these ULX spectra are well-fit by multi-color disk blackbody models with color temperatures of kT = 150 eV. This temperature differs markedly from those commonly measured in the spectra of stellar-mass (10 M_sun) black holes in their brightest states (kT ~ 1 keV). It is expected that the temperature of an accretion disk orbiting a black hole should decrease with increasing black hole mass. If the soft components we measure are due to emission from the inner region of an accretion disk, and disks extend close to the innermost stable circular orbit at the accretion rates being probed, the low color temperatures may be interpreted as spectroscopic evidence of black holes with intermediate masses: M_BH ~ 10^(3) M_sun. Simple Eddington scaling arguments suggest a mimum mass of M_BH ~ 10^(2) M_sun. NGC 1313 X-1 and X-2 are found in optical nebulae (Pakull and Mirioni 2002), which may indicate that anisotropic emission geometries are unlikely to account for the fluxes observed.

description: La carbonatation peut être utilisée comme traitement des granulats de béton recyclés (GBR) en améliorant leur absorption d’eau. Ce type de granulat peut jouer un rôle important dans le stockage du CO2 suite à leur carbonatation. Le but de cet article est de développer un procédé de traitement par carbonatation des GBR de deux fractions 1-4 mm et 1020 mm. L’objectif est de déduire l’effet de la carbonatation naturelle et accélérée sur les GBR et sur l’amélioration du coefficient d’absorption d’eau. Les résultats démontrent qu’il existe un effet de la carbonatation accélérée sur la teneur en eau mais également un effet de la fraction granulaire sur la teneur en eau pour un maximum de carbonatation (3,8% de teneur en eau optimale pour les GBR CN (10-20) et 5,2% pour les GBR CN (1-4)). La carbonatation naturelle a également un effet sur la carbonatation accélérée, et va influer sur l’absorption d’eau, en abaissant le coefficient à hauteur de 53% sur des GBR carbonatés naturellement et jusqu’à 67% des GBR issus de GBR carbonatés naturellement uniquement en surface

description: Diese Studie untersucht die Korrelation der Klickintention von personalisierten, gamifizierten Werbebannern und den psychografischen Merkmalen der Nutzer:innen basierend auf der HEXAD-Typologie. Unter Verwendung eines quantitativen Forschungsansatzes mit experimentellem Charakter wurden Daten von 324 Teilnehmer:innen ausgewertet. Es wurde die Beziehung zwischen den spezifischen HEXAD-Typen (Erfolgsorientierte- „Achiever“, Philanthrop:innen- „Philanthropists“, Sozialisierer:innen- „Socialiser“, Freigeister- „Free Spirit“, Spieler:innen- „Player“ und Disruptor:innen- „Disruptor“) und ihrer Neigung, auf entsprechend angepasste Werbebanner zu klicken, untersucht. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Personalisierung von Werbebannern für die Typen der Spieler:innen und der Sozialisierer:innen signifikant positive Effekte hat. Dabei wurde dem Typus der Spieler:innen eine generell höhere Neigung der Klickintention auf alle Werbebannerkonfigurationen nachgewiesen, was für zukünftige Forschungen, wie auch für die Zielgruppensegmentierung zukünftiger Werbekampagnen, besonders interessant sein kann. Für die übrigen vier Typen konnten keine signifikanten Zusammenhänge festgestellt werden. Diese Erkenntnisse unterstreichen, dass weitere Mechaniken der Gamification in diesem Kontext erforscht werden sollten und andererseits, dass die Bedeutung einer zielgerichteten Personalisierung von Werbeinhalten basierend auf speziellen psychografischen Profilen der Nutzer:innen, um die Werbeeffektivität zu maximieren, bedacht werden sollte. Die Forschungsergebnisse zeigen mögliche Ansätze für die Gestaltung effektiverer Werbestrategien auf, die besonders an dem Typ „Player“ zu Tragen kommen. Die Studie weist auf bestimmte Limitationen hin, die mit der Stichprobe und dem Experiment einhergehen. Daher sollte sich die zukünftige Forschung auf die Untersuchung potenzieller Moderatoren oder Mediatoren konzentrieren, die differenziertere Gamification-Mechanismen in Werbebannern berücksichtigen und zudem auch kulturelle sowie demografische Faktoren einbeziehen.

description: Dans notre recherche, une nouvelle approche a été élaborée à fin d’estimer l’absorption d’eau par les poudres supposées poreuses. Cette approche est basée sur un modèle théorique. Grâce à la distribution de la taille des pores obtenus avec la porosité au mercure réalisée sur le matériau en monolithe (matériau avant broyage) et la granulométrie de la poudre, le modèle théorique permet de calculer la porosité de la poudre. La validation du modèle théorique a été réalisée grâce à une simulation numérique. Cette simulation numérique permet d'expérimenter une simulation du broyage d’un matériau. Les résultats de porosité après broyage entre le modèle théorique et la simulation numérique étaient identiques. Par la suite, une vérification expérimentale sur une pâte du ciment broyée et une brique broyée (matériaux absorbant) a été réalisée.

description: Les géopolymères ont la capacité d’encapsuler des quantités importantes de liquides organiques (huiles) par émulsification directe dans la pâte fraîche. L’émulsion obtenue est par ailleurs stable jusqu’au durcissement du ciment géopolymérique. L’intérêt industriel est multiple, et concerne notamment l’encapsulation d’huiles toxiques usagées. Cette contribution présente une étude à l’état durci de ces composites géopolymères/huiles appelés « GEOIL », qui utilise (1) la micro-tomographie de rayons X avec quantification pour caractériser le réseau de l’huile dans le géopolymère, et (2) les mesures directes de perméabilité à l’eau sur monolithe, montrant que l’huile encapsulée n’est pas relarguée du GEOIL jusqu’à des taux volumiques d’incorporation de 40%. Une analyse du réseau percolant pour l’eau injectée est également proposée. En vue d’une qualification industrielle, les performances mécaniques en compression des GEOIL (pâtes et mortiers) sont données en fonction du taux d’incorporation d’huile et de l’âge.

description: The presence of spatial inhomogeneity in a nonlinear medium restricts the formation of Solitary Waves (SW) on a discrete set of positions whereas a nonlocal nonlinearity tends to smooth the medium response by averaging over neighboring points. The interplay of these antagonistic effects is studied in terms of SW formation and propagation. Formation dynamics is analyzed under a phase space approach and analytical conditions for the existence of either discrete families of Bright SW or continuous families of Kink SW are obtained in terms of Melnikov's method. Propagation dynamics are studied numerically and cases of stable and oscillatory propagation as well as dynamical transformation between different types of SW are shown. The existence of different types and families of SW in the same configuration, under appropriate relations between their spatial width and power with the inhomogeneity and the nonlocality parameters, suggests an advanced functionality of such structures that is quite promising for applications.

Rapid proteolysis of RAD21 in primary cells defines the role of cohesin in cell type-specific gene expression

description: Cohesin contributes to the organisation of the mammalian genome in 3D space, but its role in gene regulation remains poorly understood. To address this role, I have implemented a system that enables temporal control over cohesin function in primary mammalian cells by the inducible cleavage of the essential cohesin subunit RAD21, using tobacco etch virus protease (RAD21-TEV). Building on previous work in the lab that had linked cohesin to the expression of inflammatory genes, I used RAD21-TEV to show that genes encoding key mediators of the macrophage inflammatory response are directly reliant on cohesin for their correct expression. The deregulation of these genes led to the collapse of the macrophage response to microbial signals. I next investigated the role of cohesin in neuronal gene expression, because patients with mutations in cohesin and cohesin regulators show intellectual disability as a feature of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS). Using RAD21-TEV in mature mouse neurons, I was able to show that acute and chronic cohesin depletion resulted in similar deregulation of neuronal genes. This indicated that cohesin was continuously required for neuronal gene expression. Interestingly, cohesin-dependent neuronal gene expression could be rescued by restoring cohesin after a period of cohesin depletion. To test the relevance of these findings to human disease, I isolated neuronal nuclei from postmortem CdLS and control brains. RNA-sequencing showed similar gene expression changes in human as in mouse cohesin-deficient neurons. These studies advance our understanding of cohesin's role in gene regulation, and suggest that the impact of cohesin deficiency on neuronal gene expression may in principle be reversible.

description: In recent years, the rapid growth in technology has increased the opportunity for longitudinal human behavioral studies. Rich multimodal data, from wearables like Fitbit, online social networks, mobile phones etc. can be collected in natural environments. Uncovering the underlying low-dimensional structure of noisy multi-way data in an unsupervised setting is a challenging problem. Tensor factorization has been successful in extracting the interconnected low-dimensional descriptions of multi-way data. In this paper, we apply non-negative tensor factorization on a real-word wearable sensor data, StudentLife, to find latent temporal factors and group of similar individuals. Meta data is available for the semester schedule, as well as the individuals' performance and personality. We demonstrate that non-negative tensor factorization can successfully discover clusters of individuals who exhibit higher academic performance, as well as those who frequently engage in leisure activities. The recovered latent temporal patterns associated with these groups are validated against ground truth data to demonstrate the accuracy of our framework.

description: Les mélanges de mortier incorporant un agent entraînant l'air (AEA) n'ont pas gagné en popularité dans la construction accélérée. Lors d'un incendie, le béton est soumis à des températures très élevées pouvant entraîner un effondrement de la structure. Le but de cette recherche est d'étudier le comportement du mortier à base de ciment Portland et d'un agent entraînant l'air chauffé à 600 ° C. Les avantages obtenus lors de l'utilisation de l'AEA dans un mortier, tels que la durabilité, sont discutés. Les échantillons sont soumis à des essais de résistance à la compression et à la flexion, à la perte de masse et à l'absorption. Quatre mélanges de mortiers, à savoir M0, M0.01, M0.08 et M0.1 contenant de l'AEA à des niveaux de 20, 200, 400 et 600 ° C, ont été étudiés pour donner des indications sur leur utilisation dans la construction. Les prismatiques ont été testés à l'âge de 28 jours. Les résultats indiquent qu'un taux de mélange d'AEA dans le ciment de 0,08% donne des résistances à la compression qui, après chauffage à 400 ° C, sont proches des résistances initiales avant chauffage. Les plus grandes quantités de perte de masse n’étaient visibles qu’à 600 ° C. À 600 ° C, la forte dégradation de la microstructure conduit à des résistances inférieures à 23% des résistances initiales pour les échantillons avec ou sans AEA.

description: Le Métakaolin est une phase obtenue après la calcination du kaolin entre 500 et 900 °C. Cette transformation nécessite la disparition totale de l’eau contenue dans la matière première de kaolin, il s’agit de sa déshydratation et sa déshydroxylation. La norme NF P18-513 caractérise le Métakaolin capable d’être utilisé comme ajout au ciment et regroupe les différentes spécifications que doit avoir la matière première de kaolin. L’Algérie possède plusieurs gisements de kaolin qui ne sont utilisés que dans le domaine des céramiques. Dans le but d’élaborer un Métakaolin conforme aux exigences de la norme sus-citée, deux matières premières de kaolin KT1 et KT2 en provenance d’Algérie ont été exploitées. Après une caractérisation physico-chimique, les deux matériaux ont subit plusieurs cycles thermiques. Les matériaux ainsi calcinés ont été incorporés à 15% dans le ciment, les résistances mécaniques à la compression ont été évaluées après 28 jours de durcissement. Il a été montré que la calcination affecte considérablement la structure cristalline des deux matériaux et influe directement sur la réponse mécanique des mortiers résultants grâce à la propriété pouzzolanique des Métakaolins élaborés.
