Statistical Methods for Assessing Individual Oocyte Viability Through Gene Expression Profiles

Department: Mathematics and Statistics
Oocytes are the precursor cells to the female gamete, or egg. While reproduction may vary from species to species, within humans and most domesticated animals, the oocyte maturation process is fairly similar. As an oocyte matures, there are various processes that take place, all of which have an effect on the viability of the individual oocyte. Barring outside damage that may come to the oocyte, one of the primary reasons for non-viability is that of abnormal gene expression. Within this project, we focus on two oocyte maturation techniques: in vivo (IVV) derived oocytes (our gold-standard) and in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes. A great disparity exists between the viability rates of the two origination techniques, and this disparity has led to low yields and inefficiency in the fields of cloning, fertility treatments, as well as personalized medicine.
Within our project we use existing swine oocyte gene expression profile data as a proxy measure of viability, based on the similarity to IVV oocytes. Four statistical techniques for assessing the individual oocyte viability are proposed and compared, including: a weighted root mean squared deviation (wRMSD) approach, a distance kernel p-value approach, a distance tolerance interval approach, and a classification tree method. The relative performance of these four measures is discussed.

description: The Multiconjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD) for ESO-Very Large Telescopes (VLT) will demonstrate on sky the MultiConjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) technique. In this paper the laboratory tests relative to the first preliminary acceptance in Europe of the Layer Oriented (LO) Wavefront Sensor (WFS) for MAD will be described: the capabilities of the LO approach have been checked and the ability of the WFS to measure phase screens positioned at different altitudes has been experimented. The LO WFS was opto-mechanically integrated and aligned in INAF - Astrophysical Observatory of Arcetri before the delivering to ESO (Garching) to be installed on the final optical bench. The LO WFS looks for up to 8 reference stars on a 2arcmin Field of View and up to 8 pyramids can be positioned where the focal spot images of the reference stars form, splitting the light in four beams. Then two objectives conjugated at different altitudes simultaneously produce a quadruple pupil image of each reference star.

From MYCN to inflammaging : understanding the pathogenesis of immature T-ALL
Creators: name: Segat, Gabriela Cristina

description: Although our understanding of the genetic basis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has improved with next-generation sequencing efforts, features underlying poor outcome remain unclear. To deconvolute the individual contributions of T-ALL oncogenes and generate more relevant experimental models, a recently developed, efficient and reproducible synthetic T-ALL model from primary human CD34+ cord blood cells was used. RNA-seq of synthetic leukemias showed that the same set of genetic alterations can lead to two distinct types of leukemia – one resembling uncommitted T-cell progenitors (Early) and another resembling committed, double positive T cells (Late). Early leukemias exhibited high MYCN expression, which correlated with poor clinical outcome in a large pediatric cohort. Knockout and knockdown experiments revealed Early leukemias to be dependent on MYCN for initial transformation and subsequent clonal propagation. Use of histone ChIP-Seq data revealed broad domains of H3K4 trimethylation extending across the entirety of the MYCN gene body. Knockdown of the lysine methyltransferase KMT2D via shRNA resulted in reduced expression of MYCN and severely restricted growth of Early leukemia cells. These findings suggest a prominent role for epigenetic regulation in maintaining consistent oncogene expression and defining the malignant identity of a particularly aggressive subtype of human leukemia. The fact that the same set of genetic alterations can lead to distinct leukemia subtypes suggested other variables such as cell developmental stage and microenvironment could influence the transformation process. Because adult patients present a worse prognosis in T-ALL and aging is accompanied by a progressive increase in the body’s proinflammatory microenvironment, I then employed our synthetic model to study how chronic inflammation can alter T-cell development and leukemogenesis. I found that chronic inflammatory stimulation delays T-cell differentiation and alters the growth and differentiation trajectory of transformed cells, which ultimately favors selection of more immature T-ALL subtypes. Overall, these studies identified genetic, epigenetic, and environmental features which contribute to the pathogenesis of immature T-ALLs. These results emphasize developmental stage-specific oncogene and cytokine dependencies which could inform the development of new therapeutic options.

description: For independent $X$ and $Y$ in the inequality $P(X\leq Y+μ)$, we give sharp lower bounds for unimodal distributions having finite variance, and sharp upper bounds assuming symmetric densities bounded by a finite constant. The lower bounds depend on a result of Dubins about extreme points and the upper bounds depend on a symmetric rearrangement theorem of F. Riesz. The inequality was motivated by medical imaging: find bounds on the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC).

description: Accretion onto the massive black hole at the centre of a galaxy can feed energy and momentum into its surroundings via radiation, winds and jets. Feedback due to radiation pressure can lock the mass of the black hole onto the M-sigma relation, and shape the final stellar bulge of the galaxy. Feedback due to the kinetic power of jets can prevent massive galaxies greatly increasing their stellar mass, by heating gas which would otherwise cool radiatively. The mechanisms involved in cosmic feedback are discussed and illustrated with observations.

Primordial production of massive relic gravitational waves from a weak modification of General Relativity

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The production of a stochastic background of relic gravitational waves is well known in various works in the literature, where, using the so called adiabatically-amplified zero-point fluctuations process it has been shown how the standard inflationary scenario for the early universe can in principle provide a distinctive spectrum of relic gravitational waves. In this paper, it is shown that a weak modification of General Relativity produces a third massive polarization of gravitational waves and the primordial production of this polarization is analysed adapting the adiabatically-amplified zero-point fluctuations process at this case. The presence of the mass could also have important applications in cosmology as the fact that gravitational waves can have mass could give a contribution to the dark matter of the Universe. At the end of the paper an upper bound for these relic gravitational waves, which arises from the WMAP constrains, is also released.

description: Im Rahmen dieser Bachelorarbeit wurden die organische Auflage und die oberen zehn Zentimeter des Mineralbodens zweier Versuchsflächen (Versuchsfläche A Fichtenreinbestand und Versuchsfläche B Buchenreinbestand) im Teufelstal in Thüringen auf ausgewählte bodenphysikalische und bodenchemische Parameter untersucht. Die Probennahme wurde von der Autorin selbstständig und die Laboranalyse im Thüringer Landesamt für Landschaft und Ländlichen Raum (TLLLR) durchgeführt. Die Untersuchungen ergeben, dass die Baumart Buche bei gleichem Ausgangsmaterial einen besseren Einfluss auf die Standortsqualität als die Baumart Fichte hat. Dieser Einfluss zeigt sich durch die bessere Humusform und den geringer podsolierten Oberboden von Versuchsfläche B sowie die höheren Humus- und Elementvorräte und die höhere AKe in der organischen Auflage der Versuchsfläche A, die auf eine verlangsamte Mineralisation schließen lassen. Zudem sind die C/N- und C/P-Verhältnisse des Auflagehumus und Mineralbodens auf Versuchsfläche B enger und die pH-Werte sowie die Basen- und Erdalkali-Sättigungen höher.

description: We build a "bottom-up" holographic model of charmonium by matching the essential spectral data. We argue that this data must include not only the masses but also the decay constants of the J/psi and psi' mesons. Relative to the "soft-wall" models for light mesons, such a matching requires two new features in the holographic potential: an overall upward shift as well as a narrow "dip" near the holographic boundary. We calculate the spectral function as well as the position of the complex singularities (quasinormal frequencies) of the retarded correlator of the charm current at finite temperatures. We further extend this analysis by showing that the residues associated with these singularities are given by the boundary derivative of the appropriately normalized quasinormal mode. We find that the "melting" of the J/psi spectral peak occurs at a temperature of about 540 MeV, or 2.8 T_c, in good agreement with lattice results.

description: We reconsider the emission properties of the BL Lac objects emitting in the high-energy gamma-ray band exploiting the new information in the MeV-GeV band obtained by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope in its first three months of operation. To this aim we construct the spectral energy distribution of all the BL Lacs revealed by LAT and of the known TeV BL Lacs not detected by LAT, also including data from the Swift satellite, and model them with a simple one-zone leptonic model. The analysis shows that the BL Lacs detected by LAT (being or not already detected in the TeV band) share similar physical parameters. While some of the TeV BL Lacs not revealed by LAT have spectral energy distributions and physical parameters very similar to the LAT BL Lacs, a group of objects displays peculiar properties (larger electron energies and smaller magnetic fields) suggesting different physical conditions in the emission region. Finally, we discuss possible criteria to effectively select good new candidates for the Cherenkov telescopes among the LAT sources, presenting a list of predicted fluxes in the very high-energy band calculated including the effect of the absorption by the extragalactic background light.

description: With drive towards a green energy sector and significant cost reduction of photovoltaic (PV) technology, global PV capacity has increased multi folds in the last decade. PV power increases the variability of power supply due to the sun’s changing position and weather volatility. Battery systems tackle these problems. For an optimized battery charging management, accurate PV energy forecasts are vital. The present work compares five 1-day-ahead PV power prediction models for a PV array of 8.64 kWp at KIT with 30° tilt and a 15° eastward orientation. The power prediction is used for intelligent battery charging management. The models are the offline persistence forecast (PF), an online forecast based on numerical weather prediction (NWP) and the machine-learning based offline Facebook prophet (FBP), support vector regression (SVR) and multilayer perceptron (MLP). According to the needs of intelligent battery charging management, the hourly PV energy forecast for the rest of the day is evaluated and compared for the different methods. The prediction methods are configurable for arbitrary inclinations and orientations. To the knowledge of the authors, FBP is compared for the first time to other models in the context of PV prediction. The results are evaluated for one year of data between March 2020 and February 2021. When comparing the performance of the models for different times of the day, SVR and MLP outperform the other models around noon, while the PF and most of the time NWP and FBP outperform the SVR and MLP in the morning and evening. When evaluating the models over one year, SVR outperforms the other model’s power and energy prediction. At the same time, the other models have similar power prediction performance, but varying energy prediction performance. When evaluating the models over the meteorological seasons, there are striking differences of the models’ performance. The SVR performs mostly best but is outperformed by the NWP in spring. At the same time, the NWP performs worst in winter. This is associated to reasons of spatial resolution of the NWP data. With the two best models SVR and MLP, it is shown that endogenous values generally suffice, while the partial outperformance of the NWP still motivates for a further investigation into the use of exogenous input.

description: The propagation of weakly nonlinear dust--acoustic waves in a dusty plasma containing two ion species with different temperatures is explored. The nonlinear equations describing both the quadratic and cubic plasma nonlinearities are derived. It is shown that the properties of dust--acoustic waves depend substantially on the grain size distribution. In particular, for solitary dust--acoustic waves with a positive potential to exist in a plasma with distributed grain size, it is necessary that the difference between the temperatures of two ion species be large that that in the case of unusized grains.

This was only my second time designing a realized production and I knew it would be a massive undertaking. However, I knew that having a realized Shakespeare design this early in my career would greatly help my portfolio. Also, my advisor told me that this could have been the best realized portfolio piece I could get during my time at Utah State, so I would need to make the most of it.

title: Pitch Perception in Preschool-Age Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Creators: name: Lambert, Megan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: This research thesis will 1) provide an overview of the psychoacoustics of music perception, particularly as related to the properties of pitch perception in young children and 2) describe the methods and outcomes of an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy of obtaining pitch perception data from preschool age children with hearing loss. Each child completed a series of three tasks, including coaching and practice, single note perception, and pitch contrasts. All of the children readily understood the single-note pitch perception task. Pitch contrast performance across participants ranged from 50% to 96% correct for the first data collection period and 63% to 100% correct for the second data collection period. These exploratory findings suggested the procedures employed for the current study can result in reliable single-note pitch identification and pitch perception contrast data with most study subjects as young as age four. The next phase of the study will involve a larger number of participants ranging in ages three to six, including children with normal hearing. The study will utilize similar baseline procedures for pitch identification and pitch contrast, with implementation of a pitch intervention curriculum. Procedures will also incorporate expressive pitch production tasks to combine both expressive and receptive components of pitch perception as a function of speech perception and production. By embedding music across the curriculum, it is theorized that preschoolers who are DHH will gain more access to the temporal aspects of music, resulting in improved pitch perception and speech production outcomes.

description: We give a criterion for a Dynkin diagram, equivalently a generalized Cartan matrix, to be symmetrizable. This criterion is easily checked on the Dynkin diagram. We obtain a simple proof that the maximal rank of a Dynkin diagram of compact hyperbolic type is 5, while the maximal rank of a symmetrizable Dynkin diagram of compact hyperbolic type is 4. Building on earlier classification results of Kac, Kobayashi-Morita, Li and Saçlioglu, we present the 238 hyperbolic Dynkin diagrams in ranks 3-10, 142 of which are symmetrizable. For each symmetrizable hyperbolic generalized Cartan matrix, we give a symmetrization and hence the distinct lengths of real roots in the corresponding root system. For each such hyperbolic root system we determine the disjoint orbits of the action of the Weyl group on real roots. It follows that the maximal number of disjoint Weyl group orbits on real roots in a hyperbolic root system is 4.

description: We present new calculations of X-ray polarization from black hole accretion disks in the thermally-dominated state, using a Monte-Carlo ray-tracing code in full general relativity. In contrast to many previously published studies, our approach allows us to include returning radiation that is deflected by the strong-field gravity of the BH and scatters off of the disk before reaching a distant observer. Although carrying a relatively small fraction of the total observed flux, the scattered radiation tends to be highly polarized and in a direction perpendicular to the direct radiation. We show how these new features of the polarization spectra may be developed into a powerful tool for measuring black hole spin and probing the gas flow in the innermost disk.

description: The dynamics of an F=1 spinor condensate in a two-well potential is studied within the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We derive two-mode equations relating the population imbalances, the phase differences among the condensates at each side of the barrier and the time evolution of the different Zeeman populations for the case of small population imbalances. The case of zero total magnetization is scrutinized in this limit demonstrating the ability of a two mode analysis to describe to a large extent the dynamics observed in the Gross-Pitaevskii equations. It is also demonstrated that the time evolution of the different total populations fully decouples from the Josephson tunneling phenomena. All the relevant time scales are clearly identified with microscopic properties of the atom-atom interactions.

description: We have obtained optical multicolour (UBVRI) linear polarimetric data for 46 of the brightest stars in the area of the open cluster NGC 6124 in order to investigate the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) that lies along the line of sight toward the cluster. Our data yield a mean polarization efficiency of $P_V/E_{B-V}=3.1\pm$0.62, i.e., a value lower than the polarization produced by the ISM with normal efficiency for an average color excess of $E_{B-V}=0.80$ as that found for NGC 6124. Besides, the polarization shows an orientation of $θ\sim 8^\circ$.1 which is not parallel to the Galactic Disk,an effect that we think may be caused by the Lupus Cloud. Our analysis also indicates that the observed visual extinction in NGC 6124 is caused by the presence of three different absorption sheets located between the Sun and NGC 6124. The values of the internal dispersion of the polarization ($ΔP_V\sim 1.3% $) and of the colour excess ($ΔE_{B-V}\sim 0.29$ mag) for the members of NGC 6124 seem to be compatible with the presence of an intra-cluster dust component. Only six stars exhibit some evidence of intrinsic polarization.Our work also shows that polarimetry provides an excellent tool to distinguish between member and non-member stars of a cluster.

description: We present Tanaka's prolongation procedure for filtered structures on manifolds discovered in [Tanaka N., J. Math. Kyoto. Univ. 10 (1970), 1-82] in a spirit of Singer-Sternberg's description of the prolongation of usual G-structures [Singer I.M., Sternberg S., J. Analyse Math. 15 (1965), 1-114; Sternberg S., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1964]. This approach gives a transparent point of view on the Tanaka constructions avoiding many technicalities of the original Tanaka paper.

Spherical homogeneous spaces of minimal rank

description: Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and $G/B$ denote the flag variety of $G$. A $G$-homogeneous space $G/H$ is said to be {\it spherical} if $H$ acts on $G/B$ with finitely many orbits. A class of spherical homogeneous spaces containing the tori, the complete homogeneous spaces and the group $G$ (viewed as a $G\times G$-homogeneous space) has particularly nice proterties. Namely, the pair $(G,H)$ is called a {\it spherical pair of minimal rank} if there exists $x$ in $G/B$ such that the orbit $H.x$ of $x$ by $H$ is open in $G/B$ and the stabilizer $H_x$ of $x$ in $H$ contains a maximal torus of $H$. In this article, we study and classify the spherical pairs of minimal rank.

title: Comparision of Survival Curves Between Cox Proportional Hazards, Random Forests, and Conditional Inference Forests in Survival Analysis
Creators: name: Weathers, Brandon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Survival analysis methods are a mainstay of the biomedical fields but are finding increasing use in other disciplines including finance and engineering. A widely used tool in survival analysis is the Cox proportional hazards regression model. For this model, all the predicted survivor curves have the same basic shape, which may not be a good approximation to reality. In contrast the Random Survival Forests does not make the proportional hazards assumption and has the flexibility to model survivor curves that are of quite different shapes for different groups of subjects. We applied both techniques to a number of publicly available datasets and compared the fit of the two techniques across the datasets using the concordance index and prediction error curves. In this process we identified 'types of data' in which Random Survival Forests may be expected to outperform the Cox model.
Design Research in the Netherlands: Introducing Logarithms Using Realistic Mathematics Education

description: This article describes Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), a design theory for mathematics education proposed by Hans Freudenthal and developed over 40 years of developmental research at the Freudenthal Institute for Science and Mathematics Education in the Netherlands. Activities from a unit to develop student understanding of logarithms are used to exemplify the RME design principle of progressive formalization. Starting from contexts that elicit students’ informal reasoning, a series of representations and key questions were used to build connections between informal, pre-formal and formal representations of mathematics. Student and teacher comments from the pilot of this unit in a College Algebra course at a U.S. community college suggest this approach may benefit students who have been underserved by traditional approaches to mathematics instruction.

Department: Environment and Society
The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) is responsible for the management of state-owned sovereign land in Utah, which includes the bed and banks of the Bear River in Cache and Box Elder Counties. The purpose of this project is to provide relevant background information and data to support the future development of a comprehensive management plan for the Bear River.
This project develops a methodology and process to describe the Bear River Corridor, summarizes and integrates existing information regarding important biophysical and socio-cultural attributes of the river, delineates lands along the river into identified management classes, and recommends management goals and objectives to be carried forward into the future development of a comprehensive management plan.
While this project is not the most comprehensive or detailed report for any individual attribute of the Bear River, it is currently the most comprehensive resource addressing sovereign lands along the Bear River. Furthermore, it provides a methodology and process that is highly adaptable and can be replicated for use in other planning efforts for sovereign land resources or carried forward to be improved upon as new data and information is discovered or developed.
From Curriculum Guides to Classroom Enactment: Examining Early Career Elementary Teachers' Orientations Toward Standards-Based Mathematics Curriculum Implementation
Creators: name: Gujarati, Joan

description: This article examines three early career elementary teachers’ orientations toward standards-based mathematics curriculum implementation in New York City public schools. It is important to have a greater understanding of teachers who are responsible for enacting standards-based curriculum in authentic teaching situations in order to learn more about what may facilitate or hinder student learning. Findings from this study reveal that all three teachers had varied orientations toward mathematics curriculum implementation due to their particular school contexts, expectations from their respective school administrators, and their personal beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning. Implications from this study include the need for school administrators to allow teachers greater flexibility and autonomy to tailor their district’s formal curriculum to greater suit their classroom needs, which could potentially lead to higher student mathematics achievement.
