Full textThe top quark is unique among the elementary particles of the Standard Model (SM). Being the heaviest elementary particle, the top quark does not hadronise, which allows to measure directly its mass. The top quark is also the main source of radiative corrections in many perturbative calculations. Precise determination of the top quark mass is important in consistency tests of the SM. Currently, the most precise top quark mass measurements employ "standard" methods, in which the top quark mass distribution is directly reconstructed. The main weakness of these methods is that they largely rely on the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and allow to extract only a "MC top quark mass", which is a parameter of a MC generator. However, the ''alternative'' methods are able to determine a theoretically well-defined top quark mass because they measure observables which can be obtained from theory. This doctoral thesis describes one of the top quark mass alternative measurements, in which for the first time the top quark pole mass is determined by fitting the double differential ttbar cross sections measured at 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector to the next-to-next-to-leading order theoretical calculations. The study is in particular focusing on the consistency tests of the analysis procedure. One chapter of this thesis is also devoted to studies related to parton shower variations in the Herwig7 MC generator in the context of ttbar production. This study is motivated by the increasing importance of the parton shower uncertainty in top quark analyses in ATLAS and a need for its more consistent definition. Also, this thesis describes two analyses aiming at better understanding and improving two important uncertainty components of the top quark mass measurements: the colour reconnection uncertainty and the hadronisation uncertainty. The colour reconnection analysis concentrates on the bayesian unfolding of two-dimensional observables, which are sensitive to the colour reconnection models of the Pythia8 MC generator. On the other hand, the hadronisation uncertainty analysis studies how jet recalibration influences the top quark mass hadronisation uncertainty using MC simulated samples

Full textMass spectrometry provides two kinds of information: the molecular mass of molecules present in a mixture, obtained all at once (MS), and structure through isolation and fragmentation, obtained one by one (MS/MS). Two-dimensional FT-ICR MS allows simultaneous parallel acquisition of structural information without isolation, regardless of the number of molecules. Nevertheless, the low resolution in the indirect dimension, which could be improved by increasing the acquisition time, seemed to limit this method to a simple curiosity. The first objective is to implement non-uniform-sampling (NUS) in 2D FT-ICR MS. This method consist in the random acquisition of the same number of points in the indirect dimension as in uniform acquisition, but over a wider t1max range. Processing algorithms then reconstruct skipped points, and the result is an increase of signal resolution without wasting analysis time. The first step is to create an algorithm that can generate random sampling with a uniform distribution for an optimal coverage of the t1max range. Processing algorithms may have trouble to reconstruct small peaks when the number of skipped points increases. The second step is to choose the under-sampling ratio for the best compromise between the gain in resolution and the signal-to-noise ratio. The third and last step is to obtain MS/MS spectra with corrects isotopic patterns for fragments produced from heavy isotopes. The second objective is to improve the understanding of ion motions in ICR cells depending on the RF pulses by using Lorentz equations. The first goal is to determine the equations governing precursors motions until their detection. Then the fragmentation will be introduced and analytical solutions describing fragments motions will be established. The last step is to simulate the trajectories of precursors throughout the entire pulse sequence as well as the behavior of fragments clouds, from their formation to detection

Full textThe top quark mass is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. One of the challenges in the LHC physics case, where the top quark is produced in abundance, is the precise determination of this parameter. Currently, it is measured through the direct reconstruction of all the top quark decay products. The systematic uncertainty on the jet energy calibration and b tagging sensibly limits the precision on this measurement and it is thus vital to develop alternative measurements. A very promising possibility – never exploited until now – is the study of top pair decays, where one of the two quarks decays in the leptonic channel with a J/psi created in the b quark fragmentation. The top quark mass is extracted through its correlation to the invariant mass of the J/psi-charged lepton combination. This method presents the advantages of using charged leptons only, whose energy momentum is measured with great accuracy in the CMS detector

Full textComputer modeling of heat transfer and mass transfer in an electrolytic cell for production of fluorineElectrolytic production of fluorine is a key step in uranium conversion for the nuclear industry. In order to improve this process, the work described in this dissertation aims at two main objectives: to build a numerical simulation of the electrolysis cell and to understand the cathodic hyperpolarization effect which lowers the productivity of the cell. A model coupling several physics (heat transfer with solidification, two-phase flow, electrokinetics) has been developed and experiments were made in order to evaluate unknown physical properties of the electrolyte (thermal conductivity and heat capacity at constant pressure). Experimental data were also acquired in order to assess the capacity of the model to simulate various phenomena occurring inside the cell. Eventually, a reliable 3D model of a semi-industrial R&D cell coupling the physics above mentioned has been obtained. The negative impact of the solidification of the electrolyte on the cooling system was simulated for the first time. Thanks to these experiments, it was also possible to determine the major trends which drive the cathodic hyperpolarization effect. The influence of HF mass fraction and temperature on this phenomenon was clearly shown

Full textTop-down mass spectrometry (TDMS) is an alternative protein characterisation strategy to the more widespread bottom-up (BU) approach. TDMS has the unique ability to fully characterise the variety of protein products expressed by the cell (proteoforms), including those bearing posttranslational modifications (PTMs). In this thesis TDMS has been developed on both FT-ICR and Orbitrap mass spectrometers for the analysis of type IV pili (T4P). This includes the first T4P to be visualised in a Gram positive bacterium (Streptococcus pneumoniae). T4P are filamentous, extracellular organelles primarily composed of a single protein subunit or major pilin that can be highly posttranslationally modified. For the major pilin, PilE, of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis (Nm), TDMS was extensively optimised and the first complete characterisation of all proteoforms of PilE from a single Nm strain performed. A biological role has been proposed for the enigmatic phosphoglycerol PTM. The approach was extended and applied in the first large scale study of PTMs on PilE from uncharacterised, pathogenic strains of Nm. Comparison of the TD and BU methodologies revealed both their complementarity and the inherent weakness of the BU approach for full proteoform characterisation. TDMS was combined with other structural techniques to reveal that pilins from the previously unstudied class II isolates of Nm are extensively glycosylated and that glycosylation is both driven by the primary structure of PilE and has a profound effect on pilus surface topology. These observations have been used to offer the first explanation of how T4P expressed by class II isolates of Nm avoid immune detection
Halim, Mohammad Abdul. "Coupling Laser with Mass Spectrometry for Biomolecules Characterization : From Peptides towards Protein Fibrils." Thesis, Lyon, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LYSE1088/document.
Full textThe structural characterization of proteins often required them to be fragmented into small units containing only few amino acids. In bottom-up approach, proteins are cleaved into small peptides by enzyme then these peptides are subjected to further fragmentation in a collision cell of a tandem mass spectrometer. However, in top-down approach, proteins can directly be dissociated (without enzyme) into small fragments by collision, electron and photon-driven dissociations. Photon-based activation methods including ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) have received great attention as an alternative to electron-driven and collision induced dissociation methods. Absorption of the high-energy UV photon is dispersed over the whole peptide or protein and stimulates extensive C?Ca backbone fragmentation while the low-energy IR photons gradually increases the internal energy and thus favorably dissociates the most labile amide (C?N) bonds. This thesis focuses on the method development and applications for characterizing biomolecules by photon-based activation methods. The interest of combining high-energy UV photons and low-energy IR photons in an Orbitrap mass spectrometer, for protein and post-translationally modified peptide characterization, has been evaluated. Moreover, infrared multiphoton dissociation has been implemented in a gated electrostatic ion trap to push forward the limit of fragmentation methods to large megadalton ions. One of the main breakthroughs in this thesis is the ability to adapt these method developments and applications to biomolecular objects ranging from small peptides (in kilodalton mass range) to entire protein fibrils (in megadalton mass range)

Full textWe study the dynamic of a vapour pocket growing by vaporisation in a porous medium, in relation with the analysis of coupled heat and mass transfers in the porous wick of loop heat pipes (LHP). We propose a model for transient modes, which are still poorly understood in spite of their importance (start-ups, power transitions, etc.). This work is based on a pore network approach enabling us to predict the phase distribution at the pore space scale. In a preliminary step, a study of drainage (displacement of a wetting fluid by a non wetting one) by pressurisation of the invading fluid is performed. This step is necessary for the development and the test of the vapour pocket growing algorithm. A quantitative validation of the hydro-dynamical model is obtained thanks to a dedicated experimental study. The influence of liquid films as well as gas compressibility is investigated. Our model is then improved to deal with heat transfer and phase change. Again, a dedicated experimental study is performed in order to validate the numerical tool. The model is finally improved a last time to deal with the effects due to imbibition mechanisms (displacement of a non wetting fluid by a wetting one). Statistical results concerning the dynamic response of a vapour pocket to the application of a power density are presented, andsome specific oscillating situations in the wick are identified. We finish discussing the influence of the re- etting of the porous wick, a phenomenon which induces a significant hysteresis effect

Full textThe work developed in this thesis explores through methodological modelling studies the current techniques of climate regionalization. In this case, the regionalization focuses on a geographical domain covering from the North Atlantic to Eastern Europe longitudinal wise, and from the Sahel to the Arctic as a latitudinal interval. The aim of this thesis is not the improvement of regional climate modelling per se, but tackling three key questions that are commonly met by all attempts when trying to improve climate regionalization. Firstly, the choice and advantages of the nesting scheme: one-way nesting (OWN) versus two-way nesting (TWN). Secondly, the evaluation of the nesting method, which is generally a Newtonian relaxation operation added to the prognostic equations of the model. And finally, the consequences of the mesh refinement in Regional Circulation Models (RCM). The objective of this manuscript consists in conceptualizing and carrying out numerical simulations to answer these three questions by isolating each individual effect and quantifying the consequences of each of the effects. The general circulation model LMDZ is used for all experiments. It is able to play the role of the General Circulation Model (GCM) and the RCM, keeping the same physical parameterizations and the same dynamical configuration, as well as the same external forcings and model parameters. Our experimental set-up, referred as “Master versus Slave”, consists on two related protocols: “DS-300-to-300” and “DS-300-to-100”. The former implies the downscaling of the GCM at 300 km of horizontal resolution while the RCM has the identical resolution of 300 km. The latter implies the downscaling from 300 km (GCM) to 100 km (RCM). We have assumed the “DS-300-to-300” as an idealized framework, particularly appropriate to evaluate the relaxation operation effect. In parallel, the “DS-300-to-100” protocol, subtracted from the “DS-300-to-300”, allows assessing the effect of the increased resolution for the RCM. In each protocol, two communication schemes between the RCM and the GCM have been implemented. The first one -OWN- is the classic one-way methodology to control the RCM by the outputs of the GCM. The second one -TWN- is used to establish a mutual exchange between the two models (RCM and GCM). This thesis has found that climate regionalization is highly sensitive to the choice of the communication scheme between the RCM and the GCM, especially at mid-latitudes. TWN clearly improves the representation at the boundaries. For the regional atmospheric circulation modes, expressed in EOF structures, both OWN and TWN are able to reproduce them, but with a slight deformation in space. Newtonian relaxation, widely used in climate regionalization, allows the RCM to follow the GCM’s synoptic trajectory. However, temporal concomitance and spatial resemblance of the two depend on the variables considered, on the particular seasons selected, on the weather regimes, and on the spatiotemporal scales of atmospheric circulation. De-correlation cases are remarkable when the dominant circulation on a regional scale is small. Moreover, mesh refinement increases the freedom of the RCM to develop its internal dynamic circulation, especially at small scales, and also across the whole spectrum of circulation regimes through the scales in which the RCM operates. Thus, when resolution increases, the RCM becomes more independent from the GCM behavior and the model results deviate significantly from the GCM. Focused on the methodological aspects of climate regionalization, this thesis helps to gain a better understanding on the regionalization practice. Il also sends a precautionary message to the RCM community, kindly inviting to verify their regionalization strategy

Full textThe LHC produced proton-proton collisions data with 7 TeV of center of mass energy in 2011 and 8 TeV in 2012 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of (respectively) 5 fb^{-1} and 23 fb^{-1}. Data collected by ATLAS have led to a better understanding of the detector, to the evaluation of its performance, to many measurements of physical quantities and the discovery of the \bsc{Higgs} boson. In a context of search for new physics, top quark studies are necessary as it is present in many new physics processes. The top quark mass is an important parameter of both beyond the standard model theories and the standard model itself, thus it must be measured with enough precision to be discriminatory. After a summary of the standard model and the role of the top quark, the first part of this thesis presents the ATLAS detector and focus on its electromagnetic calorimeter for which a study of the calibration constant patching process is detailed. The second part describes top quark physics events measured in ATLAS and their selection. Technical and software tools are presented. The last part presents the measurement method, from the theory to the actual measurement of the top quark mass in the dilepton electron-muon channel. This measurement yields a top quark mass of 173{,}65 \pm 0{,}70 \pm 2{,}36 GeV , showing no discrepancy with current worldwide measurements

Full textToday people from all lifestyles, government officials, researchers and executives use internet. The people start to depend on internet for their daily life. However, the increased dependence comes with a great risk. The popularity and potential of internet attracts users with illegal intentions as well. The attackers generally establish a connection chain by logging in to a number of intermediary hosts before launching an attack at the victim host. These intermediary hosts are called as stepping-stones. On the victim side, it becomes hard to detect that the peer communicating with the victim is whether a real originator of the connection or it is merely acting as an intermediary host in the connection chain. This master dissertation proposed an approach based on Interarrival packet time to distinguish an incoming connection from a connection coming via some intermediary hosts. The proposed approach uses information available at the receiving end and applicable to encrypted traffic too. The approach was successfully tested for SSH, Telnet, FTP, HTTP and SMTP protocols and implemented in to an intrusion detection system for corresponding protocols. The main applications for the proposed approach are Manual intrusion detection, Tor usage detection and Spam messages detection. The approach is also applicable for the digital forensics investigations. Keywords : Network security, Stepping stone detection, Manual intrusion detection, Tor usage detection, Spam detection and Digital forensics investigation.

Full textThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) enables physics exploration at subatomic level. After shutting down for planned maintenance in early 2013, the LHC restarted in June 2015, increasing luminosity and centre of mass energy from 8 to 13 TeV. The first part of this document is dedicated to the electron reconstruction efficiency measurement with the ATLAS detector using 27:7 fb−1 of data collected in 2016. In the intense hadronic environment, leptons are markers of interest for many processes. Precise measurements of their reconstruction efficiency are then crucial. Measurement method and background estimates are detailed for electrons, and results are computed in both data and Monte Carlo simulation samples. Electron reconstruction efficiency varies from 97% to 99%. The measurement accuracy is at the percent and per mille level at low energy and ET > 20 GeV, respectively. Those results have been used in all ATLAS physics analyses involving electrons. The second part of this manuscript focuses on the Higgs boson coupling yt to the top quark. The analysis aims at a direct measurement of the coupling yt from the associated production of the Higgs boson with a top quark-antiquark pair (t¯tH). Seven multileptonic channels, mainly targetting Higgs boson decays H → WW∗ and H → fifi, have been studied using 36:1 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data collected in 2015 and 2016. This document focuses on the most sensitive one for the measurement, characterized by a final state with two same-charge leptons. Background discrimination is based on machine learning with multivariate analysis (MVA) techniques. The optimisation strategy is described and results detailed for the 2‘SS channel. Combining all t¯tH studied decay channels, the ATLAS and CMS experiments independently claimed an evidence, and then observation for the t¯tH process. The same methodology has been used in the search for flavour changing neutral currents in top-quark decays, forbidden at tree level. The 2‘SS and 3‘ channels are optimized and their results are combined. The current best upper limits on the branching ratios B(t → Hu) and B(t → Hc) have been set to 0.16% and 0.19%, respectively

Full textThis manuscript describes my thesis work within the CMS experiment ofthe LHC collider. It presents both subjects on which I worked : a detectorsubject and a data analysis subject. The first subject, detector, is situated within the framework of the HL-LHCproject which plans an increase by a factor five the instantaneous luminosity.Such an increase and the preservation of the high level trigger (HLT)system, generate new constraints on the CMS detector. This is particularly true for the electronic trigger (L1) system. The CMS collaboration intends to implant this within tracker detector. Two methods are proposed : the stubmodules method and the associative memorie method. However, associativememorie method require a clever preselection of electric signals to be usable.The cluster width method is jointly proposed by Fabrizio Palla’s team (Pisa) and by Didier Contardo’s team (IPNL) to preselecte electric signals. The optimization of this method, in particular geometrical parameters of modules and thresholds applied for the electric signals preselection, is the result of myown work. It is detailed throughout the part III of this manuscript. The second subject concerns the analysis of data collected by CMS during 2011. This analysis has for objective to look for new particles in the spectreof anti-top top invariant mass. Due to its big mass, close to the electroweak symmetry breaking energy, the top quark plays a important role in numerous extensions of the Standard Model. The observation of narrow resonances in the spectre could be the sign of new particles. The analysis is subdivided into three parts, the selection of top anti-top events, the reconstruction of top anti top invariant mass and a statistical study to quantify the presence of new physics. The results of this work are limits on the cross-section productionof new particles. They are presented in the part IV of this manuscript

Full textMass spectrometry (MS), an analytical technique initially invented to deal with small molecules, has emerged over the past decade as a key approach in structural biology. The recent advances have made it possible to transfer large macromolecular assemblies into the vacuum without their dissociation, raising challenging algorithmic problems. This thesis makes contributions to three such problems. The first contribution deals with stoichiometry determination (SD), namely the problem of determining the number of copies of each subunit of an assembly, from mass measurements. We deal with the interval SD problem, where the target mass belongs to an interval accounting for mass measurement uncertainties. We present a constant memory space algorithm (DIOPHANTINE), and an output sensitive dynamic programming based algorithm (DP++), outperforming state-of-the-art methods both for integer type and float type problems. The second contribution deals with the inference of pairwise contacts between subunits, using a list of sub-complexes whose composition is known. We introduce the Minimum Connectivity Inference problem (MCI) and present two algorithms solving it. We also show an excellent agreement between the contacts reported by these algorithms and those determined experimentally. The third contribution deals with Minimum Weight Connectivity Inference (MWCI), a problem where weights on candidate edges are available, reflecting their likelihood. We present in particular a bootstrap algorithm allowing one to report a set of edges with improved sensitivity and specificity with respect to those obtaining upon solving MCI

Full textA measurement of the total {\ttb} production cross section in the single lepton channel is presented. The cross section is extracted in a profile likelihood fit of templates constructed from a likelihood classifier using four kinematic variables. For a top quark of mass $m_t=172.5$ GeV, the measured cross section is $178.9 \pm 12$ pb. The measurement agrees within one-standard deviation with the latest theoretical predictions. The cross section measurement is repeated for seven other values of the top quark mass ranging from 140 GeV to 200 GeV to obtain the mass dependence of the experimental cross section. By comparing this with the mass dependence of different higher-order predictions, the top quark mass is extracted. This method allows the determination of two different theoretical mass parameters: the top quark mass in the on-shell scheme $m_t^{\mathrm{pole}}$ and in the $\overline{MS}$ scheme $\overline{m}_t(\overline{m}_t)$. The most precise measurement obtained is $m_t^{\mathrm{pole}} = 171.2\pm 4.5$ GeV, obtained when employing the most precise higher-order calculations in the $\overline{MS}$ scheme. This value agrees within one-standard deviation with the latest Tevatron average of the best top quark mass measurements.

Using two popular accounting-based models for earnings manipulation (i.e., the Beneish M-Score and the Dechow F-Score) and the financial data of public companies from 2004 to 2012, 1 find that the M-Score (F-Score) predicts less (more) earnings overstatements during the recent financial crisis in 2007-2008 than other sample years. However, a detailed investigation at the industry level reveals that this does not hold in all industries. I further show that the potential misstating firms flagged by the M-Score tend to under-perform the market both at the aggregate and the industry level, and some of those flagged by the F-Score under-perform at the industry level. Finally, by running Fama-French three-factor regressions at the aggregate level, I provide evidence that the firms flagged by the MScore generally yield negative risk-adjusted stock returns. The evidence suggests public availability of financial statements alone does not ensure that all the elements of financial statements are fully integrated into prices in a timely manner. Overall, this study provides substantial support for the use of quantitative accounting analysis in equity trading.

Full textMass spectrometry is a method of analysis which works on a wide range of sample types. It is used in many research fields such as analytical chemistry, proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics...Firstly, my work was dedicated to the development of an independent data analysis methodology based on two-dimensional Fourier transform mass spectrometry. For increasing the resolution on the first dimension a 2D FT-ICR analysis with non-uniform sampling was developed. The resolution increase in the first dimension leading to high resolution for the precursor ions. The 2D FT-ICR has been successfully applied for the analysis of triacylglycerol contained on plasma and also for archaeological samples. This methodology led to 2D maps allowing a rapid classification of plants or animals samples.Secondly, a joint bottom-up and top-down proteomics strategy was applied for the analysis of archaeological and paleontological samples from bones or ceramics. The development of a bottom-up methodology, allowed the identification of proteins and their chemical modifications from archeological bones. These bones have been attributed to Homo sapiens. The development of a top-down methodology was applied to the analysis of archaeological ceramic. For the first time, a protein (milk casein) was identified in an archaeological sample of an amphora from Claudius emperor era (1st century A.D) via the detection of large fragments of casein. This first application of the top down proteomics showed that new information can be provided such as the in situ molecular degradation

Full textLectinas podem ser definidas como proteÃnas/glicoporteÃnas que reconhecem carboidratos de maneira especÃfica, mas nÃo participam do metabolismo dos mesmos e nÃo pertencem a nenhuma das principais classes de imunoglobulinas. As lectinas sÃo proteÃnas ubÃquas, estando presente em todos os organismos conhecidos. Em cÃlulas animais, lectinas tÃm sido encontradas no citoplasma, no nÃcleo e associadas a membranas das mais diversas organelas e nos mais variados tipos celulares. Tais lectinas animais podem ser classificadas em famÃlias distintas com base em suas caracterÃsticas fÃsico quÃmicas, funÃÃo e especialmente em sua identidade de estrutura primÃria e terciÃria. O objetivo deste trabalho foi purificar duas novas lectinas da esponja marinha Haliclona (Soestella) caerulea e caracterizar estruturalmente uma delas. EspÃcimes de H.caerulea foram coletados na praia do paracuru, CearÃ. Duas lectinas (H-1 e H-3) foram isoladas por tÃcnicas clÃssicas de quÃmica de proteÃnas. A estrutura primÃria de uma delas foi determinada por espectrometria de massas e RACE. A atividade tÃxica das lectinas foi avaliada frente à nÃuplios de Artemia e cepas das bactÃrias Escherichia coli e Staphylococus aureus. H-1 e H-3 apresentaram caracterÃsticas distinhas da lectina previamente isolada de H. caerulea. H-1 à uma proteÃna monomÃrica de aporoximadamente 40 kDa enquanto que H-3 à uma proteÃna trimÃrica com cadeias com massa aproximada de 9, 16 e 18 kDa. H-3 aglutina eritrÃcitos humanos do tipo A e B e foi inibida GalNAc e PSM, H-1 aglutina diversos grupos sanguineos e nÃo pÃde ser inibida por nenhum aÃÃcar testado. H-1 foi tÃxica a naÃplios de Artemia (LC50=6,4 μg.mL-1) e H-3 foi considerada nÃo tÃxica (LC50=414,2 μg.mL-1). H-3 à uma proteÃna azul, pois interage com um cromÃforo de 597 Da com absorÃÃo mÃxima a 620 nm. A estrutura primÃria de H-3 foi determinada e revelou-se Ãnica, nÃo sendo conhecida nenhuma lectina com estrutura similar. H-3 apresenta um glicano hÃbrido composto por Hex7NAcHex7DeoxiHex2. A cadeia α de H-3 sofre um processamento proteolÃtico complexo que ainda nÃo foi completamente elucidado. AlÃm disso, H-3 foi cristalizada, mas nÃo foi possÃvel a obtenÃÃo de um padraÃo de difraÃÃo que permita a resoluÃÃo da estrutura. Em suma, duas novas lectinas foram isoladas e fora observado pela primeira vez a interaÃÃo entre uma lectina e um cromÃforo natural. Pela primeira vez tambÃm, fora determinada a composiÃÃo glicÃdica de uma lectina de esponja.
Lectins are proteins/glycoproteins that recognize carbohydrate of a specific way, but not participate in the metabolism of the same and do not belong to any of major classes of immunoglobulins. Lectins are ubiquitous proteins, present in all known organisms. In animal cells, lectins have been found in the cytoplasm, in the nucleous and as membrane-associated proteins, in diverse organelles and cells. Animal lectins can be classified into distinct families based on their physicochemical characteristics, especially in their function and identity of primary and tertiary structure. The aim of this study was to purify, characterize structural and biologically new lectins from the marine sponge Haliclona (Soestella) caerulea. H. caerulea specimens were collected in Paracuru beach, CearÃ. Two lectins (H-1 and H-3) were isolated by classical techniques of protein chemistry. The primary structure of H-3 was determined by mass spectrometry and RACE. The toxic activity of lectins was evaluated against Artemia nauplii and Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains. H-1 and H-3 showed distinct characteristics of the lectin previously isolated from H. caerulea. H-1 is a monomeric protein of 40 kDa whereas H-3 is a heterogeneus protein with chains of 9, 16 and 18 kDa. H-3 binds human erythrocytes of A and B type and was inhibited by GalNAc and PSM, H-1 binds different blood groups and could not be inhibited by any sugar tested. H-1 was toxic to Artemia nauplii (LC50 = 6.4 μg.mL-1) and H-3 was not considered toxic (LC50 = 414.2 μg.mL-1). H-3 is a blue protein that interacts with a chromophore of 597 Da of maximum absorbance at 620 nm. The primary structure of H-3 revealed a unique amino acid sequence no similar to any animal lectins known. H-3 has a hybrid glycan comprising by Hex7NAcHex7DeoxiHex2. The α-chain of H-3 undergoes complex proteolytic processing that not been fully elucidated. Moreover, H-3 was crystallized, but was not possible to obtain a diffraction pattern that permits solving the structure. In short, two new lectins were isolated and out first observed the interaction between a lectin and natural chromophore. Furthermore, for the first time given the composition glicidic out of a sponge lectin.

Full textThe topic of this thesis is the numerical simulation of two-phase flows in an industrial framework. Two-phase flows modelling is a challenging domain to explore, mainly because of the complex phenomena involved, such as cavitation and other transfer processes between phases. Furthermore, these flows occur generally in complex geometries, which makes difficult the development of efficient resolution methods. The models that we consider belong to the class of diffuse interface models, and they allow an easy modelling of transfers between phases. The considered class of models includes a hierarchy of sub-models, which take into account different levels of interactions between phases. To pursue our studies, first we have compared the so-called four-equation and six-equation two-phase flow models, including the effects of mass transfer processes. We have then chosen to focus on the four-equation model. One of the main objective of our work has been to extend residual distribution schemes to this model. In the context of numerical solution methods, it is common to use the conservative form of the balance law. In fact, the solution of the equations under a non-conservative form may lead to a wrong solution to the problem. Nonetheless, solving the equations in non-conservative form may be more interesting from an industrial point of view. To this aim, we employ a recent approach, which allows us to ensure conservation while solving a non-conservative system, at the condition of knowing its conservative form. We then validate our method and apply it to problems with complex geometry. Finally, the last part of our work is dedicated to the evaluation of the validity of the considered diffuse interface model for applications to real industrial problems. By using uncertainty quantification methods, the objective is to get parameters that make our simulations the most plausible, and to target the possible extensions that can make our simulations more realistic

Full textThe Standard Model of particle physics is very successful in describing elementary particles and their interactions with a great precision. It describes three of the four known fundamental interactions between elementary particles : the weak, the strong and the electromagnetic interactions. The Standard Model also provides an accurate description of the electroweak interactions up to energy scales that have been explored in high energy physics experiments. The interaction and decay of a large number of particles discovered and observed throughout different experiments in the last 50 years are also described. Despite its great success, the Standard Model falls short of being a complete theory of fundamental interactions because it does not incorporate the full theory of gravitation as described by general relativity, or predict the accelerating expansion of the universe (as possibly described by dark energy). The theory does not contain any viable dark matter particle that possesses all of the required properties deduced from observational cosmology. It also does not account for neutrino oscillations (and their non-zero masses). It is thought that new physics should exist leading to new particles and phenomena. The scale at which this new physics should appear is not well known, though several arguments point to the TeV scale and require a very high energy and powerful hadron collider. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the biggest existing particle accelerator and collider. It is designed to provide proton-proton collisions with an unprecedented center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV, with instantaneous luminosities up to 10^{34} cm−2s−1

Full textSchizophrenia is a disabling, serious, and chronic illness, which affects about 24 million people worldwide. It is characterized by a severe disorganization of the thoughts that harms the social life of patients becoming them dependent of the family and/or government. There are effective treatments that contribute to decrease the prevalence of the disorder because they improve the life and social conditions of the patients, but they are only advantageous if the intervention is made in the early stages of the disease. It is difficult to obtain early diagnosis due to the complexity of the disease and its insidious symptoms before the beginning of the psychosis. The brain is not easily accessed in vivo and, because of this, it is very important to study the peripheral tissues like blood, which makes the use of the platelets very interesting. Furthermore, platelets and serotonergic neurons share biochemical and morphological characteristics that allows the comparison between structure and function of both. From these similarities many authors has used platelets as a neuron model to study many neurodegenerative diseases including schizophrenia. The early detection of schizophrenia is a current and suitable goal, not only to improve the early diagnosis but also to develop new treatments, differentiate the subtypes, and monitor the preventive interventions. The purpose of this project is to do a comparative screening of expressed proteins in platelets from schizophrenics and controls with the objective of finding differently expressed proteins that could be candidates to biomarkers using 2D-DIGE and mass spectrometry.

Full textMicro-packed beds are miniaturized packed beds having the advantages of both microreactors (high surface-to-volume ratios leading to intensified heat and mass transfer rates, increased safety, etc.) and packed beds (effective contact between the phases) that have the potential to be successfully employed for purposes such as catalyst screening and production of hazardous materials. To assess this potential, hydrodynamic characterization of micro-packed beds is necessary as they address the actual flow phenomena and provide suggestions to improve the contacting patterns between phases for enhanced performances. This work starts with a brief review on process intensification via microreactors. Then the importance of micro-packed beds is highlighted while the approaches to build research foundations on micro-packed beds are discussed. Our research begins by studying the flow regimes, transitions in flow regime and hydrodynamic multiplicity in micro-packed beds mostly by means of microscopic wall visualization and image processing. Results on pressure drop and liquid holdup have been obtained and discussed in terms of flow regimes and wall-flow image analyses. In addition, residence time distributions of the liquid in micro-packed beds have been obtained according to two techniques, by an impulse tracing method (electrolyte tracer injection) and wall visualization with optical microscopy. The effect of particle size and channel geometry (circular vs. square) has also been investigated in terms of flow regime transitions, transient behavior and hysteresis. Finally, challenges and recommendations thereof to surpass the many difficulties encountered are methodically explained to facilitate future investigations. Experimental determination of liquid-solid mass transfer coefficient (kLS) via a linear polarization method was also carried out in a micro-packed bed filled with layers of non-spherical graphite particles serving as cathode and anode for the Redox ferri/ferrocyanide electrochemical reaction. Experiments concerned single-phase liquid flow within the diffusion-limited regime. Particle size analysis and image processing were used to evaluate deviations from spherical geometry of the graphite particles to determine liquid-solid mass transfer coefficient. Finally, the correspondence of kLS values with macro-scale packed bed correlations was discussed.

Full textWith the continuous development of the Internet technologies new routing requirements have surfaced. In response, several adaptive, stochastic routing algorithms have been purposed. The Cross Entropy Ant System (CEAS) is an adaptive, robust and distributed routing and management system based on the swarm intelligence. Several prototype implementations and enhancements have been made on this system, however the level of TCP friendliness the CEAS may provide is yet an important issue. In order to investigate the level of TCP friendliness, the behavior of the CEAS system during different network dynamics needs to be understood. For this reason, the behavior of the CEAS system under different network event and its corresponding effects on TCP performance is examined first using a simple network. Later the level of TCP performance is measured on complex networks. Also the load sharing capabilities of the CEAS system is investigated the efficiency of the system to manage and update according to the network load. Additionally the results are compared against the results obtained from the standard Link State Routing protocol and the Distance Vector Routing protocol under similar conditions. In this work, we find that the update process in response to the change in network dynamics is slower on CEAS compared to the other systems. However, the update process speeds up with the increase in the ant rates. During such period the use of multiple path reduces the TCP performance. We also find that large amount of packets loop around some links during link failures. Such looping reduces the TCP performance significantly. However, implementing previous hop memory technique removes such loops and also help TCP resume transmission immediately after the link failure. Compare to the LSRP and the DVR, we find that CEAS manages network resources more efficiently to produce higher TCP performance. We find that the CEAS diverts the data traffic on the basis of the quality of the path rather than the length of the path. We also find that the CEAS system handles multiple TCP stream independently with equal priority. But the smaller transition delay on the ants compared to the data packet reduces the TCP performance to some extent. However, forcing the ants to experience longer queuing delay according to the traffic load improves the TCP performance as well as helps CEAS update more accurately.
