description: Microplastics (MPs) and pesticides are two classes of environmental pollutants and have become global challenges. MPs could adsorb substantial environmental pollutants, which may affect their transportation, distribution and cause combination toxicity. Therefore, the study of sorption properties and mechanisms is the basis of the ecological risk assessment of co-exposure of pesticides and MPs. In this research, typical triazole fungicide tebuconazole (TEB) is selected as a model pollutant, and its sorption behaviour was investigated by kinetic and isotherm models. Meanwhile, a series of environmental influencing factors, like pH, salinity, and metals were conducted. Results showed that the sorption of TEB on MPs could reach equilibrium at 24 h, and the sorption capacity followed the order of PA (polyamide) > PS (polystyrene) > PP (polypropylene). The pseudo-second-order model was the most appropriate model to describe kinetic data, and the Freundlich model was well fit for PA sorption isotherms, in contrast the Langmuir model is better for PP and PS. Additionally, the pH of the solution, salinity, and metals have an important effect on sorption. Combined with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and environmental influencing factors, the sorption mechanisms were mainly electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond for PA and PP, and hydrophobic force, intermolecular force, and electrostatic force for PS, respectively.

description: The triton energy spectra of the charge-exchange $^{12}$C($^3$He,t) reaction at 2 GeV beam energy are analyzed in the quasi-elastic nucleon knock-out region. Considering that this region is mainly populated by the charge-exchange of a proton in $^3$He with a neutron in the target nucleus and the final proton going in the continuum, the cross-sections are written in the distorted-wave impulse approximation. The t-matrix for the elementary exchange process is constructed in the DWBA, using one pion- plus rho-exchange potential for the spin-isospin nucleon- nucleon potential. This t-matrix reproduces the experimental data on the elementary pn $\rightarrow $np process. The calculated cross-sections for the $^{12}$C($^3$He,t) reaction at $2^o$ to $7^o$ triton emission angle are compared with the corresponding experimental data, and are found in reasonable overall accord.

description: We report the discovery of the most distant radio galaxy to date, TGSS1530 at a redshift of $z=5.72$ close to the presumed end of the Epoch of Reionisation. The radio galaxy was selected from the TGSS ADR1 survey at 150 MHz for having to an ultra-steep spectral index, $α^{\textrm{150 MHz}}_{\textrm{1.4 GHz}} = -1.4$ and a compact morphology obtained using VLA imaging at 1.4 GHz. No optical or infrared counterparts for it were found in publicly available sky surveys. Follow-up optical spectroscopy at the radio position using GMOS on Gemini North revealed the presence of a single emission line. We identify this line as Lyman alpha at $z=5.72$, because of its asymmetric line profile, the absence of other optical/UV lines in the spectrum and a high equivalent width. With a Ly$α$ luminosity of $5.7 \times 10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and a FWHM of $370$ km s$^{-1}$, TGSS1530 is comparable to `non-radio' Lyman alpha emitters (LAEs) at a similar redshift. However, with a radio luminosity of $\log L_{\textrm{150 MHz}} = 29.1$ W Hz$^{-1}$ and a deconvolved physical size $3.5$ kpc, its radio properties are similar to other known radio galaxies at $z>4$. Subsequent $J$ and $K$ band imaging using LUCI on the Large Binocular Telescope resulted in non-detection of the host galaxy down to $3σ$ limits of $J>24.4$ and $K>22.4$ (Vega). The $K$ band limit is consistent with $z>5$ from the $K-z$ relation for radio galaxies, suggesting stellar mass limits using simple stellar population models of $M_{\textrm{stars}}< 10^{10.5}$ $M_\odot$. Its high redshift coupled with relatively small radio and Ly$α$ sizes suggest that TGSS1530 may be a radio galaxy in an early phase of its evolution.

Clinical and Cytokine Predictors of Outcomes in Peritoneal Dialysis
Creators: name: Goodlad, Catriona
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Background Changes in the structure and function of the peritoneal membrane limit the duration of PD. Rarely (and unpredictably) these changes progress to severe fibrosis and bowel encapsulation (encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, EPS) with substantial morbidity and mortality. Methods PD fluid and serum samples from 50 patients were added to 100 previously analysed samples (Dr S Ahmad). CCL18, IL-6, MCP-1 and angiogenin were measured by ELISA. CCL15 was measured for the first time in 125 serum and dialysate samples. Fifty one year follow up samples were analysed. Serum cytokines were measured in patients with and without EPS. Peritoneal mesothelial cells were cultured and media cytokine levels measured. CCL15 stimulation of cytokine production was investigated. Protein transfer across the peritoneal membrane by size was investigated. CT scans from 20 pre-EPS PD patients were scored and compared with scans of non-EPS patients. Results Levels of CCL18, MCP-1, CCL15, angiogenin and IL-6 in dialysate correlate with clinically important measures such as glucose exposure and D/P creatinine. Mesothelial cells in culture produce MCP-1, IL-6, angiogenin and CCL18. High dialysate levels of MCP-1, IL-6 and CCL15 are found in patients who subsequently developed EPS. High levels of CCL18 are also seen in haemodialysis patients with EPS. CT screening of PD patients used alone does not predict future EPS; in combination with abdominal symptoms CT scans may be of use. Conclusions There is local peritoneal production of chemokines such as MCP-1, CCL18, IL-6 and angiogenin, and the correlation of levels of these cytokines with clinically relevant parameters suggests they may be involved in the pathogenesis of long term changes in the peritoneum. At present neither clinical nor cytokine levels can reliably be used to predict future EPS. CT scanning may be helpful in patients at risk of EPS who develop new abdominal symptoms.

description: OSSE observed the transient black hole candidate GRO J0422+32 (XN Per 92) between 1992 Aug 11 and 1992 Sep 17. High time resolution data were obtained in several energy bands over the 35-600 keV range with a sampling rate of 8 ms. Power spectra at energies below 175 keV show substantial low-frequency red noise with a shoulder at a few tens of mHz, peaked noise with characteristic frequency near 0.2 Hz, and a second shoulder at a few Hz. The frequencies of the shoulders and the peak are independent of energy and source intensity. The complex cross spectrum indicates that photons in the 75-175 keV band lag photons in the 35-60 keV band by a time roughly proportional to the inverse of the Fourier frequency. The maximum lag observed is about 300 ms. The power and lag spectra are consistent with the production of the gamma rays through thermal Comptonization in an extended hot corona with a power-law density profile.

A phenomenological Pauli potential is introduced into effective interactions to approximate the nature of the Fermion many-body system. We treat the widths of nucleon wave-packets as time-dependent dynamical variables. With these modifications, our model can well describe the ground-state properties in wide mass range. Improvements due to the extension are also obtained in the nucleus-nucleus collision calculations.

description: Greek life is commonplace on college campuses in America, and many women choose to join sororities each year. Understanding whether or not sororities are instilling feminist ideals into their members will help identify if these organizations have women’s best interests in mind, or if they are perpetuating patriarchal ideals from their beginnings in the 19th century. This study is comprised of data collected through qualitative and quantitative questions in an online survey distributed to members of sororities at an East Coast university to find commonalities among the experiences of participants. This study also included a thematic analysis over the course of ten weeks that analyzed Instagram posts from each sorority at the same university to understand how the ideals members view interpersonally differ from the image the organizations exude on social media. The results identified that there is limited use of feminist ideals and language in interpersonal communication within sororities.

description: Social media has created space for grieving people to share stories, videos, and photos in a centralized area online. Instead of sharing a story or memory with a few people in person, one can share memories with hundreds, if not thousands, of people via social media. As people increasingly turn to social media to share their accomplishments and joys, they’re also turning to social media to feel confirmed and supported during more challenging times. The evolution of social media has transitioned grieving from a private to a public setting where people in mourning can communicate their feelings about loss and get support. This study focuses on social media platforms as spaces for grieving via the uses and gratification theory and social identity theory. This study specifically aims to showcase how widows use social media and whether it has helped them navigate their grief through the use of personal interviews.
The weak Bernoulli property for matrix Gibbs states

description: We study the ergodic properties of a class of measures on $Σ^{\mathbb{Z}}$ for which $μ_{\mathcal{A},t}[x_{0}\cdots x_{n-1}]\approx e^{-nP}\left \|A_{x_{0}}\cdots A_{x_{n-1}}\right \| ^{t}$, where $\mathcal{A}=(A_{0}, \ldots , A_{M-1})$ is a collection of matrices. The measure $μ_{\mathcal{A},t}$ is called a matrix Gibbs state. In particular we give a sufficient condition for a matrix Gibbs state to have the weak Bernoulli property. We employ a number of techniques to understand these measures including a novel approach based on Perron-Frobenius theory. We find that when $t$ is an even integer the ergodic properties of $μ_{\mathcal{A} ,t}$ are readily deduced from finite dimensional Perron-Frobenius theory. We then consider an extension of this method to $t>0$ using operators on an infinite dimensional space. Finally we use a general result of Bradley to prove the main theorem.

These analyses extend from threshold to 2 GeV in the laboratory photon energy, and update our previous analyses to 1.8 GeV. Photo-decay amplitudes are extracted for the baryon resonances within this energy range. We consider two photoproduction sum rules and the contributions of two additional resonance candidates found in our most recent analysis of $πN$ elastic scattering data. Comparisons are made with previous analyses.

Far infrared galaxies: star formation and AGN
Creators: name: Hyde, Ashley
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: This thesis examines the AGN - star formation relation in galaxies out to z=4, probing the interplay between these two phenomena at various redshifts, for different galaxy morphologies, and at different luminosities. We have created a catalogue of 12,000 local infrared galaxies with optical morphological classifications, BPT analysis, and physical parameters derived from SED fits. We explore the variation in specific SFR and AGN fraction with morphology, compare star formation rate estimators, and provide a morphological breakdown of the IR luminosity distribution. Focusing on the Spirals and Barred Spirals from the M-IIFSCz, we find their distributions of specific star formation rates are statistically consistent. Conversely, Barred Spirals have a significantly higher AGN fraction than non-barred Spirals at both high and low stellar masses, but if we control for g-r colour, the AGN fraction is independent of bar presence. We discuss the implications of this result. We perform spectroscopic follow-up of 46 galaxies identified in the IIFSCz as ULIRGs and HLIRGs through photometric redshifts. By deriving spectroscopic redshifts, we show that their photometric redshifts are overestimated by an average factor of zphot/zspec=1.7. We quantify the implications for the Luminosity Function and show that applying a general correction for photometric redshift over- estimation reduces the number density of HLIRGs by 75%. At 1
Decarbonising low grade heat for low carbon future
Creators: name: Sansom, Robert
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: More energy is consumed in the UK for heat than either transport or electricity and yet until recently little attention has been given to decarbonising heat to meet the UK's 2050 greenhouse gas targets. The challenges are immense as over 80% of households in the UK use gas for space and water heating. To achieve the UK's greenhouse gas targets will necessitate heat to be almost completely decarbonised and will thus require a transition from gas for heating to a low carbon alternative. However, there is a lack of consensus over which low carbon heat technologies householders should be encouraged to adopt as projections of these vary significantly. This thesis commences by reviewing those projections and identifying the possible reasons for the variations. Low carbon heat technologies suitable for large scale deployment are identified and a heat demand model developed from which demand profiles can be constructed. An integrated heat and electricity investment model is then developed which includes electricity generation assets but also district heating assets such as combined heat and power plant, network storage and large network heat pumps. A core input into this model is the heat demand profiles. The investment model enables the interaction between heat and electricity assets to be evaluated and so using scenarios combined with sensitivities examines the economics and carbon emissions of the low carbon residential heating technologies previously identified. Throughout this analysis the equivalent cost for gas heating is used as a comparator. The results suggest that district heating is an attractive option which is robust under most outcomes. However, its economic viability is crucially dependent on a financing regime that is compatible with other network based assets. Also identified is a role for electric storage heaters for buildings with low heat demand.
Electrochemical biosensors for real-time detection of angiogenesis
Creators: name: Ng, Shu Rui
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2013

description: Electrochemical biosensors have been made to detect the metabolic markers, pH, O2 and glucose, and nitric oxide (NO), the signalling molecule involved in angiogenesis. A novel three-dimensional (3-D) graphene/ionic liquid (IL) nanocomposite demonstrates highly sensitive detection of NO in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). An arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide-functionalised biomimetic graphene film has been used as both a cell culture and sensing matrix to detect NO released by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in real-time under acetylcholine (Ach) stimulation. The amount of NO released is dose-dependent and inhibited by NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). A poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI)-coated anodically electrodeposited iridium oxide film (AEIROF) exhibiting super-Nernstian response to pH functions as miniature pH sensor for detecting acute changes in extracellular pH due to the interaction of porcine aortic ECs (PAECs) with fibronectin and thrombin. Thrombin causes dissolution of fibronectin, extracellular acidification of PAECs and a change in cell morphology from stretched to round cells. O2 and glucose biosensors based on a novel electropolymerised redox polymer are developed and prepared by one-step electropolymerisation of methylene blue (MB+) and pyrrole for the O2 biosensor, with the addition of glucose oxidase (GOD) for the glucose biosensor. The O2 biosensor demonstrates superior sensitivity towards dissolved O2 at atmospheric (atm) O2 concentrations and below and is insensitive to pH. The glucose biosensor exhibits direct electron transfer (DET) and is insensitive to pH from pH 6 to 8 in N2-purged PBS and from pH 4 to 8 in atm O2 PBS.

description: Microplastics (MPs) and pesticides are two classes of environmental pollutants and have become global challenges. MPs could adsorb substantial environmental pollutants, which may affect their transportation, distribution and cause combination toxicity. Therefore, the study of sorption properties and mechanisms is the basis of the ecological risk assessment of co-exposure of pesticides and MPs. In this research, typical triazole fungicide tebuconazole (TEB) is selected as a model pollutant, and its sorption behavior was investigated by kinetic and isotherm models. Meanwhile, a series of environmental influencing factors, like pH, salinity, and metals were conducted. Results showed that the sorption of TEB on MPs could reach equilibrium at 24 h, and the sorption capacity followed the order of PA (polyamide) > PS (polystyrene) > PP (polypropylene). The pseudo-second-order model was the most appropriate model to describe kinetic data, and the Freundlich model was well fit for PA sorption isotherms, in contrast the Langmuir model is better for PP and PS. Additionally, the pH of the solution, salinity, and metals have an important effect on sorption. Combined with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and environmental influencing factors, the sorption mechanisms were mainly electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond for PA and PP, and hydrophobic force, intermolecular force, and electrostatic force for PS, respectively.

description: High resolution, deep imaging surveys are instrumental in setting constraints on semi-analytical structure formation models in Cold Dark Matter (CDM) cosmologies. We show here that the lack of unresolved B-band ``dropouts'' with V > 25 mag in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) appears to be inconsistent with the expected number of quasars if massive black holes form with a constant universal efficiency in all CDM halos. To reconcile the models with the data, a mechanism is needed that suppresses the formation of quasars in halos with circular velocities v(circ) < 50-75 km/s. This feedback naturally arises due to the photoionization heating of the gas by the UV background. We consider several alternative effects that would help reduce the quasar number counts, and find that these can not alone account for the observed lack of detections. If reddening by dust can be neglected at early epochs, consistency with the optical data also requires that the luminous extent of dwarf galaxies at high redshifts be larger than a few percent of the virial radii of their dark matter halos, in order not to overpredict the number of point-like B-band dropouts. Future deep observations in the J and H bands with NICMOS might reveal several z > 5 objects per field or provide even stronger constraints on the models than existing B, V, and I data.

Comparison of the Effective Interaction to Various Orders in Different Mass Regions

description: The convergence of the perturbation expansion for the effective interaction to be used in shell-model calculations is investigated as function of the mass number $A$, from $A=4$ to $A=208$. As the mass number increases, there are more intermediate states to sum over in each higher-order diagram which contributes to the effective interaction. Together with the fact that the energy denominators in each diagram are smaller for larger mass numbers, these two effects could largely enhance higher-order contributions to the effective interaction, thereby deteriorating the order-by-order convergence of the effective interaction. This effect is counterbalanced by the short range of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, which implies that its matrix elements are weaker for valence single-particle states in ``large'' nuclei with large mass number as compared to those in light nuclei. These effects are examined by comparing various mean values of the matrix elements. It turns out that the contributions from higher-order terms remain fairly stable as the mass number increases from $A=4$ to $A=208$. The implications for nuclear structure calculations are discussed.

Hierarchical Star Formation from the Time-Space Distribution of Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

description: The average age difference between pairs of star clusters in the Large Magellanic Clouds increases with their separation as the ~0.35 power. This suggests that star formation is hierarchical in space and time. Small regions form stars quickly and large regions, which often contain the small regions, form stars over a longer period. A similar result found previously for Cepheid variables is statistically less certain than the cluster result.

The effect of collaborative networks on healthcare research performance
Creators: name: Patel, Vanash
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: We can all use assessment and appraisal to help us improve our performance in any area of life. Healthcare researchers are no exception. For healthcare researchers a system is required to measure research performance according to an accepted global benchmark. While there are existing systems that have been created to measure research performance in general, and healthcare research performance has been appraised with several bibliometric indicators, there is a lack of evidence to prove their validity and a deficiency of indicators that embrace social behaviours such as collaboration. In this thesis we endeavoured to enhance knowledge on healthcare research performance assessment, which has the potential to be integrated into systems that specifically appraise healthcare research performance. Ultimately, these systems may promote a performance-based culture that better reflects the quality and impact of healthcare research.
Flavor Production in Pb(160AGeV) on Pb Collisions: Effect of Color Ropes and Hadronic Rescattering
Creators: name: Sorge, H.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Collective interactions in the preequilibrium quark matter and hadronic resonance gas stage of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied in the framework of the the transport theoretical approach RQMD. The paper reviews string fusion into color ropes and hadronic rescattering which serve as models for these interactions. Hadron production in central Pb(160AGeV) on Pb collisions has been calculated. The changes of the final flavor composition are more pronounced than in previous RQMD studies of light ion induced reactions at 200AGeV. The ratio of created quark pairs $s\bar{s}$/($u\bar{u}$+$d\bar{d}$) is enhanced by a factor of 2.4 in comparison to $pp$ results. Color rope formation increases the initially produced antibaryons to 3 times the value in the `NN mode', but only one quarter of the produced antibaryons survives because of subsequent strong absorption. The differences in the final particle composition for Pb on Pb collisions compared to S induced reactions are attributed to the hadronic resonance gas stage which is baryon-richer and lasts longer.

Quantum nonlinear phononics route towards nonequilibrium materials engineering: Melting dynamics of a ferrielectric charge density wave

description: Negative nonlinear electron-phonon coupling involving an infrared-active phonon mode can lead to an instability towards the formation of a polar lattice distortion with ferrielectric (FE) moments accompanied by an electronic charge-density wave (CDW). Analyzing a small model system in and out of thermal equilibrium, we investigate the FE-CDW and its melting dynamics following an ultrashort laser pulse that drives the ionic dipoles. We observe nonequilibrium coherent phonon amplitude mode oscillations that soften towards the transition to the normal phase. Our case study serves as a first step towards a microscopic understanding of quantum nonlinear phononics as a basis for nonequilibrium control in quantum materials.

description: Production of strange quarks in neutron stars is investigated in this work. Three cases, one in which the energy and neutrinos produced in the strangeness production reactions are retained in the reaction region, second in which the neutrinos are allowed to escape the reaction region but the energy is retained and the third in which both the energy and neutrinos escape the reaction region are considered. It is shown that the nonleptonic weak process dominates strange quark production while semileptonic weak processes, which produce neutrinos, lead to the cooling if the neutrinos escape the reaction region. It is found that the time required for the saturation of the strangeness fraction is between $10^{-7}$ and $10^{-5}$ sec, with the shorter time corresponding to the first two cases. About 0.2 neutrinos/baryon are emitted during the process in the first two cases where as the neutrino emission is somewhat suppressed in the last case. The average energy of the neutrinos produced in all the three cases is found to be several hundred $MeV$. We also find that a large amount of energy is released during the strangeness production in the first two cases and this leads to the heating of the reaction region. Implications of the neutrino production are investigated.

description: The results of 3D hydrodynamic simulation of mass transfer in semidetached binaries of different types (cataclysmic variables and low-mass X-ray binaries) are presented. We find that taking into account of a circumbinary envelope leads to significant changes in the stream-disc morphology. In particular, the obtained steady-state self-consistent solutions show an absence of impact between gas stream from the inner Lagrangian point L1 and forming accretion disc. The stream deviates under the action of gas of circumbinary envelope, and does not cause the shock perturbation of the disc boundary (traditional `hotspot'). At the same time, the gas of circumbinary envelope interacts with the stream and causes the formation of an extended shock wave, located on the stream edge. We discuss the implication of this model without `hotspot' (but with a shock wave located outside the disc) for interpretation of observations. The comparison of synthetic light curves with observations proves the validity of the discussed hydrodynamic model without `hotspot'. We also consider the influence of a circumbinary envelope on the mass transfer rate in semidetached binaries. The obtained features of flow structure in the vicinity of L1 show that the gas of circumbinary envelope plays an important role in the flow dynamics, and that it leads to significant (in order of magnitude) increasing of the mass transfer rate. The comparison of gaseous flows structure obtained in 2D and 3D approaches is presented. We discuss the common features of the flow structures and the possible reasons of revealed differences.
