Theoretical Parameter-Free Analysis Model for Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD) Spectra.

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a parameter-free mathematical model of analyzing either monosite or multisite temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) spectra. By linearizing the integral function difference, the desorption kinetic parameters, such as the desorption order n, the desorption activation energy E d, and the pre-exponential factor ?, can be extracted simultaneously with promising accuracy. A custom "ant" is further established in the model to explore the spectra by a "prediction-correction" loop, and the kinetics and the coverage distribution of the individual peak in the spectra can be solved sequentially. Meanwhile, eight cases on spectrum analysis, including but not limited to the spectrum with coverage-dependent kinetics, the spectrum affected by the noise, the practical spectrum, are demonstrated to fully understand the model's principle, process, and application. Moreover, the model optimization and resolution limitation are further discussed to stimulate the future potential of the innovative parameter-free model.

Project description:Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) enables the production of high-resolution images by imaging spatially isolated fluorescent particles. Although challenging, the result of SMLM analysis lists the position of individual molecules, leading to a valuable quantification of the stoichiometry and spatial organization of molecular actors. Both the signal/noise ratio and the density (Dframe), i.e., the number of fluorescent particles per ?m2 per frame, have previously been identified as determining factors for reaching a given SMLM precision. Establishing a comprehensive theoretical study relying on these two parameters is therefore of central interest to delineate the achievable limits for accurate SMLM observations. Our study reports that in absence of prior knowledge of the signal intensity ?, the density effect on particle localization is more prominent than that anticipated from theoretical studies performed at known ?. A first limit appears when, under a low-density hypothesis (i.e., one-Gaussian fitting hypothesis), any fluorescent particle distant by less than ?600 nm from the particle of interest biases its localization. In fact, all particles should be accounted for, even those dimly fluorescent, to ascertain unbiased localization of any surrounding particles. Moreover, even under a high-density hypothesis (i.e., multi-Gaussian fitting hypothesis), a second limit arises because of the impossible distinction of particles located too closely. An increase in Dframe is thus likely to deteriorate the localization precision, the image reconstruction, and more generally the quantification accuracy. Our study firstly provides a density-signal/noise ratio space diagram for use as a guide in data recording toward reaching an achievable SMLM resolution. Additionally, it leads to the identification of the essential requirements for implementing UNLOC, a parameter-free and fast computing algorithm approaching the Cramér-Rao bound for particles at high-density per frame and without any prior knowledge of their intensity. UNLOC is available as an ImageJ plugin.

Project description:The world is continuously urbanising, resulting in clusters of densely populated urban areas and more sparsely populated rural areas. We propose a method for generating spatial fields with controllable levels of clustering of the population. We build a synthetic country, and use this method to generate versions of the country with different clustering levels. Combined with a metapopulation model for infectious disease spread, this allows us to in silico explore how urbanisation affects infectious disease spread. In a baseline scenario with no interventions, the underlying population clustering seems to have little effect on the final size and timing of the epidemic. Under within-country restrictions on non-commuting travel, the final size decreases with increased population clustering. The effect of travel restrictions on reducing the final size is larger with higher clustering. The reduction is larger in the more rural areas. Within-country travel restrictions delay the epidemic, and the delay is largest for lower clustering levels. We implemented three different vaccination strategies-uniform vaccination (in space), preferentially vaccinating urban locations and preferentially vaccinating rural locations. The urban and uniform vaccination strategies were most effective in reducing the final size, while the rural vaccination strategy was clearly inferior. Visual inspection of some European countries shows that many countries already have high population clustering. In the future, they will likely become even more clustered. Hence, according to our model, within-country travel restrictions are likely to be less and less effective in delaying epidemics, while they will be more effective in decreasing final sizes. In addition, to minimise final sizes, it is important not to neglect urban locations when distributing vaccines. To our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically investigate the effect of urbanisation on infectious disease spread and in particular, to examine effectiveness of prevention measures as a function of urbanisation.
