The Art Deco building was constructed between 1932 and 1937. It is commonly said that Hitler had ordered against the bombing of Senate House, because he wanted to use it as his Headquarters in London, on account of its fascistic architectural style. The building did make an appropriate appearance in the film, Batman Begins, as the heart of corruption in Gotham City, and its brutalist exterior is said to have been the model for the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four.

Lullo, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 This dissertation is an exploration of the cultural biography of toiletry case sets in early China. It traces the multiple significances that toiletry items accrued as they moved from contexts of everyday life to those of ritualized death, and focuses on the Late Warring States Period (5th c. BCE) through the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE), when they first appeared in burials. Toiletry case sets are painted or inlaid lacquered boxes that were filled with a variety of tools for beautification, including combs, mirrors, cosmetic substances, tweezers, hairpins and a selection of personal items. Often overlooked as ordinary, non-ritual items placed in burials to comfort the deceased, these sets have received little scholarly attention beyond what they reveal about innovations in lacquer technologies.

  • Wellcome Four Year Phd Programme in Integrative Cell Mechanisms
    2021 Wellcome Four Year PhD Programme in Integrative Cell Mechanisms Training the next generation of Molecular Cell Biologists Background and Aims of Programme The Wellcome Four Year PhD Programme in Integrative Cell Mechanisms (iCM) is closely associated with the Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology and trains the next generation of cell and molecular biologists in the application of quantitative methods to understand the inner workings of distinct cell types in different settings. A detailed understanding of normal cellular function is required to investigate the molecular cause of disease and design future treatments. However, data generated by biological research requires increasingly complex analysis with technological advances in sequencing, mass spectrometry/proteomics, super-resolution microscopy, Wellcome Centre for Cell Biology 2021 synthetic and structural biology generating increasingly large, complex datasets. In addition, innovations in computer sciences and informatics are transforming data acquisition and analysis and breakthroughs in physics, chemistry and engineering allow the development of devices, molecules and instruments that drive the biological data revolution. Exploiting technological advances to transform our understanding of cellular mechanisms will require scientists who have been trained across the distinct disciplines of natural sciences, engineering, informatics and mathematics. To address this training need, iCM PhD projects are cross-disciplinary involving two primary supervisors with complementary expertise. Supervisor partnerships pair quantitative scientists with cell biologists ensuring that students develop pioneering cross-disciplinary collaborative projects to uncover cellular mechanisms relevant to health and disease. We aim to recruit students with a variety of backgrounds across the biological and physical sciences, including Biochemistry, Biomedical Science, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Computational Data Sciences, Engineering, Genetics, Mathematics, Molecular Biology and Physics.

  • Towards Therapy for Batten Disease
    Towards therapy for Batten disease Mariana Catanho da Silva Vieira MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology University College London PhD Supervisor: Dr Sara E Mole A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London September 2014 Declaration I, Mariana Catanho da Silva Vieira, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The gene underlying the classic neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) in humans, CLN3, encodes a polytopic membrane spanning protein of unknown function. Several studies using simpler models have been performed in order to further understand this protein and its pathological mechanism. Schizosaccharomyces pombe provides an ideal model organism for the study of CLN3 function, due to its simplicity, genetic tractability and the presence of a single orthologue of CLN3 (Btn1p), which exhibits a functional profile comparable to its human counterpart. In this study, this model was used to explore the effect of different mutations in btn1 as well as phenotypes arising from complete deletion of the gene. Different btn1 mutations have different effects on the protein function, underlining different phenotypes and affecting the levels of expression of Btn1p. So far, there is no cure for JNCL and therefore it is of great importance to identify novel lead compounds that can be developed for disease therapy. To identify these compounds, a drug screen with btn1Δ cells based on their sensitivity to cyclosporine A, was developed. Positive hits from the screen were validated and tested for their ability to rescue other specific phenotypes also associated with the loss of btn1.

The influence of Japanese art is a phenomenon that is now called Japonisme , and it spread widely throughout Western art. It is quite hard to make a clear definition of Japonisme because of the breadth of the phenomenon, but it could be generally agreed that it is an attempt to understand and adapt the essential qualities of Japanese art. This thesis explores Japanese influences on British Art and will focus on four artists working in Britain: the American James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), the Australian Mortimer Menpes (1855-1938), and two artists from the group known as the Glasgow Boys, George Henry (1858-1934) and Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933).

  • Generalized Tonnetze and Zeitnetz, and the Topology of Music Concepts
    June 25, 2019 Journal of Mathematics and Music tonnetzTopologyRev Submitted exclusively to the Journal of Mathematics and Music Last compiled on June 25, 2019 Generalized Tonnetze and Zeitnetz, and the Topology of Music Concepts Jason Yust∗ School of Music, Boston University () The music-theoretic idea of a Tonnetz can be generalized at different levels: as a network of chords relating by maximal intersection, a simplicial complex in which vertices represent notes and simplices represent chords, and as a triangulation of a manifold or other geomet- rical space. The geometrical construct is of particular interest, in that allows us to represent inherently topological aspects to important musical concepts. Two kinds of music-theoretical geometry have been proposed that can house Tonnetze: geometrical duals of voice-leading spaces, and Fourier phase spaces. Fourier phase spaces are particularly appropriate for Ton- netze in that their objects are pitch-class distributions (real-valued weightings of the twelve pitch classes) and proximity in these space relates to shared pitch-class content. They admit of a particularly general method of constructing a geometrical Tonnetz that allows for interval and chord duplications in a toroidal geometry. The present article examines how these du- plications can relate to important musical concepts such as key or pitch-height, and details a method of removing such redundancies and the resulting changes to the homology the space. The method also transfers to the rhythmic domain, defining Zeitnetze for cyclic rhythms. A number of possible Tonnetze are illustrated: on triads, seventh chords, ninth-chords, scalar tetrachords, scales, etc., as well as Zeitnetze on a common types of cyclic rhythms or time- lines.

  • Evaluation of Test Collections Generated from Transaction Logs in Digital Humanities
    Evaluation of Test Collections Generated from Transaction Logs in Digital Humanities a dissertation presented by Neil Hickey to The School of Computer Science and Statistics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Computer Science in the subject of Knowledge and Data Engineering Supervised by Dr. Séamus Lawless May 2017 Declaration I, Neil Hickey, declare that the following dissertation, except where otherwise stated, is entirely my own work; that it has not previously been submitted as an exercise for a degree, either in Trinity College Dublin, or in any other University; and that the library may lend or copy it or any part thereof on request. Signed: Date: ii Thesis advisor: Dr. Séamus Lawless Neil Hickey Summary The rise of digital collections being made available publicly online has led toa greater desire to give users the most relevant documents for their needs. These relevance judgments must be bench-marked to determine how well they satisfy the needs of the searcher, which involves the use of a test collection. A test collection provides a set of information needs and the documents which have been deemed to satisfy this need. This dissertation uses two digital collections from the Cultura Project, namely the 1916 and the 1641 collections. These digital collections are a set of witness testimony documents related to key events in Irish history. The proposed experiment uses these collections as a means to evaluate an automatically generated test collection. In this dissertation, an evaluation of whether extracted binary judgments of relevance, from transaction logs, are suitable for the automatic generation of a test collection from the digital libraries transaction logs, has been carried out.

In fission yeast, 4 Schizosaccharomyces pombe, H3K9me heterochromatin silencing can be 5 transmitted through cell division provided the counteracting demethylase Epe1 6 is absent4,5. It is possible that under certain conditions wild-type cells might 7 utilize heterochromatin heritability to form epimutations, phenotypes mediated 8 by unstable silencing rather than changes in DNA6,7. Here we show that resistant 9 heterochromatin-mediated epimutants are formed in response to threshold 10 levels of the external insult caffeine. ChIP-seq analyses of unstable resistant 11 isolates revealed new distinct heterochromatin domains, which in some cases 12 reduce the expression of underlying genes that are known to confer resistance 13 when deleted.
