description: Queensland fruit flies, Bactrocera tryoni Froggatt (Diptera: Tephritidae), are one of the most important pests of Australian horticulture due to the severity with which they limit domestic and international trade of host produce. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is used to extirpate or prevent the establishment of wild populations of B. tryoni in some regions, whereby millions of flies are reared, sterilised, and released into agricultural areas. Sterile males are expected to mate with wild females, resulting in infertility of wild females and a generational decline in the wild population. However, sterile B. tryoni often display poor quality arising from adaption to laboratory conditions and exposure to irradiation. These deficiencies can be identified and ameliorated through behavioural studies, which this thesis considered. In the studies described herein, I compared the behaviours of mass-reared (fertile and/or sterile) and wild B. tryoni. Furthermore, I investigated behaviours that likely take place in natural habitats. I investigated the microhabitat distribution of B. tryoni males and females from mass-reared (fertile and sterile) and wild populations in tree canopies through the day. Flies moved systematically through the tree canopy in response to shifting abiotic conditions (temperature, light intensity, and humidity). Next, I observed the spatial and temporal distribution of male mating behaviours (wild, and fertile and sterile mass-reared) at dusk in tree canopies. Mass-reared (both fertile and sterile) males exhibited mating behaviours that differed spatially and temporally from wild conspecifics, which likely attributed to a high tendency for assortative mating. In a laboratory study of the effect of sterilisation on the ability of B. tryoni to tolerate desiccation stress, sterilisation lowered its activity and survival under desiccation stress. Finally, in a study of male-male aggression, I documented the aggressive behaviours of B. tryoni males for the first time. Crowding reduced aggression and mass-reared adults engaged in aggression at a relatively close distance, both of which may negatively affect their ability to compete for resources or repel predators in nature. Through the studies described in this thesis, I highlight areas of improvement for the management of B. tryoni using SIT.

description: We develop an algebraic theory of colored, semigrouplike-flavored and pathlike co-, bi- and Hopf algebras. This is the right framework in which to discuss antipodes for bialgebras naturally appearing in combinatorics, topology, number theory and physics. In particular, we can precisely give conditions for the invertibility of characters that is needed for renormalization in the formulation of Connes and Kreimer. These are met in the relevant examples. In order to construct antipodes, we discuss formal localization constructions and quantum deformations. These allow to define and explain the appearance of Brown style coactions. Using previous results, we can interpret all the relevant coalgebras as stemming from a categorical construction, tie the bialgebra structures to Feynman categories, and apply the developed theory in this setting.

description: We present the temporal and spectral study of blazar PKS 0208-512, using recent flaring activity from November 2019 to May 2020, as detected by the Fermi-LAT observatory. The contemporaneous X-ray, optical/UV observations from Swift-XRT/UVOT are also used. During the activity state, 2-days binned $γ$-ray lightcurve shows multiple peaks indicating sub-flares. To understand the possible physical mechanisms behind flux enhancement, we divided the activity state of the source into several flux-states and carried out detailed temporal and spectral studies. Timing analysis of lightcurves suggest that peaks of sub-flares have rise and decay time on the order of days, with flux-doubling time $\sim$ 2-days. The 2-days binned $γ$-ray lightcurve shows double-lognormal flux distribution. The broadband spectral-energy-distribution (SED) for three selected flux states can be well fitted under synchrotron, synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) and external-Compton (EC) emission mechanisms. We obtained the physical parameters of the jet by the SED modeling and their confidence intervals through $χ^2$-statistics. Our SED modeling results suggest that during quiescent-state, $γ$-ray spectrum can be well explained by considering the EC-scattering of infra-red (IR) photons from dusty-torus. However, $γ$-ray spectra corresponding to flares demand additional target photons from broad-line-region (BLR) along with IR. These suggest that during flares, the emission-region is close to the edge of BLR, while for quiescent-state the emission-region is away from BLR. The best fit results suggest that marginal increase in magnetic-field during the flaring-episode can result in the flux enhancement. This is possibly associated with the efficiency of particle acceleration during flaring-states as compared to quiescent-state.

description: The main objective of this thesis is to disentangle the food web dynamics of Lake Victoria over the past century within the context of baseline environmental variability over millennia. Throughout this thesis, I use biological and geochemical indicators from lake sediment cores, with a focus on invertebrate remains, to examine the impact of anthropogenic stressors on the ecosystem dynamics of Lake Victoria. For this purpose, I first investigate how past changes in the invertebrate assemblage coincided with regional climate variability over millennia (Chapter 1). I then reconstruct major changes in the food web (i.e., algal and zooplankton community composition) that were driven by anthropogenic stressors (Chapter 2). Third, I examine the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of the chironomid and cladoceran assemblages over the past century (Chapter 3). And last, I explore the influence of invertebrate and fish predation on the abundance and size structure of a planktonic cladoceran over decadal and centennial timescales (Chapter 4). Finally, I conclude with the overarching lessons that can be learned from the research presented throughout this thesis.

Such regimes interpolate between the Gross-Pitaevskii and thermodynamic limits. Assuming that $κ$ is sufficiently small, we determine the ground state energy and the low-energy excitation spectrum of the system, up to errors vanishing in the limit of large $N$.

description: Our work targets automated analysis to quantify the growth dynamics of a population of bacilliform bacteria. We propose an innovative approach to frame-sequence tracking of deformable-cell motion by the automated minimization of a new, specific cost functional. This minimization is implemented by dedicated Boltzmann machines (stochastic recurrent neural networks). Automated detection of cell divisions is handled similarly by successive minimizations of two cost functions, alternating the identification of children pairs and parent identification. We validate the proposed automatic cell tracking algorithm using (i) recordings of simulated cell colonies that closely mimic the growth dynamics of E. coli in microfluidic traps and (ii) real data. On a batch of 1100 simulated image frames, cell registration accuracies per frame ranged from 94.5% to 100%, with a high average. Our initial tests using experimental image sequences (i.e., real data) of E. coli colonies also yield convincing results, with a registration accuracy ranging from 90% to 100%.

description: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a significant genetic blood disorder, causing a vast number of possible health complications, with a potentially huge impact on adjustment and quality of life. As with many other chronic illnesses, there has been some interest in the self-concept of people with SCD, and within that on their body image. However, research into body image for those with SCD remains limited in scope, and has frequently imported pre-existing and potentially culturally inapt concepts and measures to do so. This study, therefore, is an exploratory qualitative project, to look at how people with SCD relate to their bodies and conceive of their body image. Data was collected from online blogs written by people with SCD, with approximately 500 posts collected. Data was analysed in the Reflexive Thematic Analysis framework, using an inductive approach and social constructionist epistemology. Two themes, with two sub-themes each, were generated by the researcher: ‘The Battle with my body, and how to win it’ including ‘Body, blood, cells, genes as enemy’ and ‘Victory through loving one’s enemy’, and ‘My pain-filled body is unique and central to my identity’ including ‘Identification with the body strengthened by SCD’ and ‘Pain maintains the awareness of SCD’. The findings suggest that there are a range of ways of relating to the body for people with SCD: The body is made a central part of one’s identity through the experience of the illness and that one’s relationship to it can be one of hostility and enmity, but this can develop into one of love and nurture. Clinical implications of these findings could be the development of interventions for those with SCD where this body relating impacts on their well-being, as well as increasing awareness for physical health practitioners and joining up with other love-as-liberation movements.

Markergestützte Selektion auf Steinbrand-Resistenz in Weizen

description: Bunt in wheat is a crop disease that is caused by fungal spores, and mainly affects organically grown cultivars, since the infestation can be prevented by chemical seed treatment in conventional farming systems. With resistance breeding, it is possible to develop cultivars that are resistant to bunt and are suitable for organic cultivation. For more efficient breeding, marker-assisted selection is an important tool to save time and resources.
 The aim of marker-assisted selection (MAS) for bunt resistance in wheat is to reduce the number of plants of the BC2F2 generation by selecting only those plants which have homozygous resistance in the form of resistance QTL.
 In order to be able to carry out the marker-assisted selection, DNA was extracted from the leaf material of the wheat plants to be tested. After normalizing the DNA-concentration, genotyping was carried out using competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP), and the resistant alleles could be detected with the aid of molecular markers.
 After evaluating the results, 163 plants from a total of 2165 plants of the BC2F2 generation were positively selected.
 Since only a rough selection was conducted during pre-selection, the validation is an important step to make sure that only those plants are included in the next generation which actually inherited the allele from the resistance donors. The results show that the number of plants has been significantly reduced after validation, which also increases the chance of actual resistance. Subsequently, the bunt resistance in the positively selected wheat plants can be confirmed by infection tests in the field.

description: Spectral clustering is one of the most popular clustering methods. However, how to balance the efficiency and effectiveness of the large-scale spectral clustering with limited computing resources has not been properly solved for a long time. In this paper, we propose a divide-and-conquer based large-scale spectral clustering method to strike a good balance between efficiency and effectiveness. In the proposed method, a divide-and-conquer based landmark selection algorithm and a novel approximate similarity matrix approach are designed to construct a sparse similarity matrix within low computational complexities. Then clustering results can be computed quickly through a bipartite graph partition process. The proposed method achieves a lower computational complexity than most existing large-scale spectral clustering methods. Experimental results on ten large-scale datasets have demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method. The MATLAB code of the proposed method and experimental datasets are available at https://github.com/Li-Hongmin/MyPaperWithCode.

description: A conic bundle is a contraction $X\to Z$ between normal varieties of relative dimension $1$ such that $-K_X$ is relatively ample. We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which predicts that, if $X\to Z$ is a conic bundle such that $X$ has canonical singularities and $Z$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein, then $Z$ is always $\frac{1}{2}$-lc, and the multiplicities of the fibers over codimension $1$ points are bounded from above by $2$. Both values $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ are sharp. This is achieved by solving a more general conjecture of Shokurov on singularities of bases of lc-trivial fibrations of relative dimension $1$ with canonical singularities.

DETECTING UNSTRUCTURED TEXT IN STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS USING MACHINE VISION

description: This focus of this thesis is the application of text detection, which is a field within computer vision, in structural drawings. To understand a structural system and conduct a rapid assessment of an existing structure would benefit from the ability to read the information contained within the drawing or related engineering documents. Extracting engineering data manually from the structural drawings is incredibly time-consuming and expensive. In addition, the variation in human engineers’ experience makes the output prone to errors and false evaluations. In this study, the latest development in computer vision, especially for text detection, using large volumes of words in some structural drawings, is explored and evaluated. The goal is to read text in structural drawings, which usually has some feature noises due to the high complexity of the structural annotations and lines. The dataset consists of computer-generated structural drawings which have different word shapes and types of fonts with various text orientations. The utilized structural drawings are floor plans, and thus contain structural details which are filled with various structural element labels and dimensions. Fine tuning of the pre-trained model yieldssignificant performance in unstructured text detection, especially in the model’s recall.

description: We study the learning of numerical algorithms for scientific computing, which combines mathematically driven, handcrafted design of general algorithm structure with a data-driven adaptation to specific classes of tasks. This represents a departure from the classical approaches in numerical analysis, which typically do not feature such learning-based adaptations. As a case study, we develop a machine learning approach that automatically learns effective solvers for initial value problems in the form of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), based on the Runge-Kutta (RK) integrator architecture. We show that we can learn high-order integrators for targeted families of differential equations without the need for computing integrator coefficients by hand. Moreover, we demonstrate that in certain cases we can obtain superior performance to classical RK methods. This can be attributed to certain properties of the ODE families being identified and exploited by the approach. Overall, this work demonstrates an effective learning-based approach to the design of algorithms for the numerical solution of differential equations. This can be readily extended to other numerical tasks.

description: Long-term autonomy in service robotics is a current research topic, especially for dynamic, large-scale environments that change over time. We present Sobi, a mobile service robot developed as an interactive guide for open environments, such as public places with indoor and outdoor areas. The robot will serve as a platform for environmental modeling and human-robot interaction. Its main hardware and software components, which we freely license as a documented open source project, are presented. Another key focus is Sobi's monitoring system for long-term autonomy, which restores system components in a targeted manner in order to extend the total system lifetime without unplanned intervention. We demonstrate first results of the long-term autonomous capabilities in a 16-day indoor deployment, in which the robot patrols a total of 66.6 km with an average of 5.5 hours of travel time per weekday, charging autonomously in between. In a user study with 12 participants, we evaluate the appearance and usability of the user interface, which allows users to interactively query information about the environment and directions.

Where Monsters Meet the Truly Disadvantaged-Race, Gender, and the Serially Killed

description: Stories about serial murder saturate the entertainment market. But given that the True Crime Boom was relatively recent, studies on how these stories are told are relatively scarce. Because of this, misconceptions about the subject are easier to spread, even if they have been addressed at length in a variety of ways by sociologists, psychologists, criminologists, and other scholars. Though perhaps not as prevalent as it was a decade or two ago, the idea that serial killers are exclusively white men abound. While the existence of black serial murderers is discussed in academic literature, these studies usually stop short of actual analysis of race in these cases. This is peculiar, given how frequently race and crime are tethered to one another, and how blackness and criminality are often viewed synonymously. But for better or worse, cases of serial murder by and/or of black people is rarely given a central focus. My work will fill in this gap by placing race, gender, and place at the center of my analysis. More specifically, I will examine and compare four cases of serial murder using newspaper coverage, books, and legal documents on the subject. I will argue that race, gender, and location (neighborhood, mainly) play a central role not only in what stories of serial murder get told, but how they are told.
On the Regularity of Optimal Transports between Degenerate Densities

description: We study the most common image and informal description of the optimal transport problem for quadratic cost, also known as the second boundary value problem for the Monge--Ampère equation -- What is the most efficient way to fill a hole with a given pile of sand? -- by proving regularity results for optimal transports between degenerate densities. In particular, our work contains an analysis of the setting in which holes and sandpiles are represented by absolutely continuous measures concentrated on bounded convex domains whose densities behave like nonnegative powers of the distance functions to the boundaries of these domains.

description: Classical sensors for spectrum analysis are widely used but lack micro- or nanoscale spatial resolution. On the other hand, quantum sensors, capable of working with nanoscale precision, do not provide precise frequency resolution over a wide range of frequencies. Using a single spin in diamond, we present a measurement protocol for quantum probes which enables full signal reconstruction on a nanoscale spatial resolution up to potentially 100\,GHz. We achieve $58\,\mathrm{nT/\sqrt{Hz}}$ amplitude and $0.095\,\mathrm{rad/\sqrt{Hz}}$ phase sensitivity and a relative frequency uncertainty of $10^{-12}$ for a $1.51\,\mathrm{GHz}$ signal within $10\,\mathrm{s}$ of integration. This technique opens the way to quantum spectrum analysis methods with potential applications in electron spin detection and nanocircuitry in quantum technologies.
