WASP-33 CHEOPS light curves [Dataset]
No full textA. M. S. Smith et al. -- Raw CHEOPS photometry from both the PIPE and DRP reductions for both the transit and occultations of WASP-33b. The detrended transit photometry is also presented.We aim to observe the transits and occultations of WASP-33b, which orbits a rapidly-rotating {delta} Scuti pulsator, with the goal of measuring the orbital obliquity via the gravity-darkening effect, and constraining the geometric albedo via the occultation depth. We observed four transits and four occultations with CHEOPS, and employ a variety of techniques to remove the effects of the stellar pulsations from the light curves, as well as the usual CHEOPS systematic effects. We also performed a comprehensive analysis of low-resolution spectral and Gaia data to re-determine the stellar properties of WASP-33. We measure an orbital obliquity 111.3^+0.2^_-0.7_ degrees, which is consistent with previous measurements made via Doppler tomography. We also measure the planetary impact parameter, and confirm that this parameter is undergoing rapid secular evolution as a result of nodal precession of the planetary orbit. This precession allows us to determine the second-order fluid Love number of the star, which we find agrees well with the predictions of theoretical stellar models. We are unable to robustly measure a unique value of the occultation depth, and emphasise the need for long-baseline observations to better measure the pulsation periods.Peer reviewe
Recovery through contradiction?
No full textWith this new drug strategy, the circle has turned. It was a Conservative government
that introduced the first drug strategy, Tackling Drugs Together, in 1995. This aimed
to reduce drug related crime, protect young people and reduce health harms by
discouraging drug use. It was criticised at the time for having unrealistic, intangible
aims and for not providing the necessary funding. New Labour’s strategies introduced
increasingly specific targets and massively expanded the funding of treatment. This
new Coalition strategy has no targets and provides no new funding

No full textIncludes bibliographical references.This poster was presented at the 2017 Colorado State University Graduate Student Showcase, 9 November 2017.Determining the interface between two interacting proteins can help illuminate cellular biology, improve our understanding of disease, and aid pharmaceutical research. Such determination is expensive and time consuming using wet-lab experiments, which has motivated the development of computational methods. Inspired by the success of deep learning in image processing and other application areas, we adapt convolutional neural networks to work with irregularly structured data, such as proteins. We construct a novel pairwise classification architecture which is trained and tested with data from the Docking Benchmark Dataset versions 4.0 and 5.0. This outperforms the existing state-of-the-art prediction method, PAIRpred.Graduate Student Council - New Graduate Student - Research Top Scholar
