Notes: Shen and Leschen (2018) designated the lectotype and three paralectotypes for A. electrica and stated that A. minor may be a junior synonym of A. brevis. After comparing the male lectotype of A. electrica with the male lectotype of A. brevis, these two species were found to represent a single species and are synonymized above. One male and two females of A. brevis were located in the MVMA and are here designated to be the paralectotypes for Rybaxis brevis. These specimens are mounted on the same card with the lectotype, and we designate the three specimens on the right as the paralectotypes. We also located a single female specimen of A. minor in the BMNH main collection matching the locality data that we have confirmed to be the holotype. After examination, A. minor is confirmed to be a junior synonym of A. electrica.

description: Detecting synthetic tabular data is essential to prevent the distribution of false or manipulated datasets that could compromise data-driven decision-making. This study explores whether synthetic tabular data can be reliably identified ''in the wild''-meaning across different generators, domains, and table formats. This challenge is unique to tabular data, where structures (such as number of columns, data types, and formats) can vary widely from one table to another. We propose three cross-table baseline detectors and four distinct evaluation protocols, each corresponding to a different level of ''wildness''. Our very preliminary results confirm that cross-table adaptation is a challenging task.

Notes: Shen and Leschen (2018) designated the lectotype for A. foveolata with one male and one female syntype not being located in the primary collections (BMNH Broun collection, BMNH main collection and NZAC). Broun mentioned that he had three examples for Bryaxis euplectoides. Two specimens in the BMNH main collection and one specimen in the NZAC matching the locality data of Bryaxis euplectoides were located and are here designated to be the lectotype and the two paralectotypes for Bryaxis euplectoides. There are four additional specimens in the BMNH main collection with labels in Broun’s hand, but do not match the locality, and are not considered to be part of the syntype series of Bryaxis euplectoides. The original identification label was written as Anabaxis, but the original combination was published under Bryaxis. After examination, Bryaxis euplectoides is confirmed to be the junior synonym of A. foveolata.

Impact of transport infrastructure on firm formation and post-entry performance: a case study in Hudson County, New Jersey
Creators: name: Chen, Xueying
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: New establishments play an important role in urban and regional economic development (Acs, 2006; Shukla & Waddell, 1991). Because of the assumption of economic agglomeration, many believe that firms will cluster to share information and take advantage of a pooled labor force, to increase communication, as well as to lower transportation costs. Empirical evidence confirms that transport infrastructure can lead to agglomerations of economic activity (Chatman, Noland, & Klein, 2016; Maoh & Kanaroglou, 2009).  Therefore, it seems reasonable that businesses may locate close to transit stations to take advantage of the easy access to transportation for their businesses, the agglomeration externalities/competition of co-location, the nearby amenities, and policy incentives provided by local governments. Consequently, it is critical to understand what factors determine where new establishments will form. However, the relationship between public transit systems and new establishment patterns remains largely unclear.  What are the determinants of business formation in densely developed urban areas? How do the determinants of business formation differ across sectors? And how do local contexts (i.e., master plans, local tax incentives) contribute to the process of establishment birth and subsequent survival? What implications does new establishment formation have for urban land use and contemporary urban form? With the assumption that transport infrastructure is a key determinant of new establishment birth and subsequent survival, this dissertation investigates the impacts of changes in the accessibility provided by the Hudson Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) on the spatial patterns of new establishments. Data is derived using geographic information systems (GIS) and the National Establishment Time-Series (NETS) database. Negative binomial models and GEE models are constructed to evaluate the associations of new establishments in different sectors with proximity to rail stations, and determinants of new establishment survival are estimated with Cox Proportional-Hazards models. Additionally, qualitative research can provide us with a more specific and contextual understanding of determinants of firm formation. Therefore, how local development policies and attitudes might influence business formation is examined through individual interviews and archival research. By mapping predicted probabilities for each industry and comparing these with observed densities, this dissertation identifies the extent to which locational preferences translate into aggregated land use patterns, revealing how transportation infrastructure influences business location choices and urban land use structure.

The rectangular maximum agreement problem: applications and parallel solution
Creators: name: Kagawa, Ai
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: A NP-hard rectangular maximum agreement (RMA) problem finds a “box” that best discriminates between two weighted datasets.  We respectively describe a specialized parallel branch-and-bound method and a greedy heuristic to solve RMA exactly or approximately.  Our computational results show that a new parallel branch-and-bound method can solve larger RMA problems exactly in less time than a previously implemented parallel branch-and-bound procedure and Gurobi, a mixed integer programming (MIP) solver. We describe two applications of RMA: LPBoost-based two-class classification and a rule-enhanced penalized regression.  The first classification application constructs a stronger classifier from a set of weighted voting classifiers by maximizing the margin between the two observation classes and penalizing classification errors.  The weighted voting classifiers are multidimensional ``box''-based rules.  The second regression application formulates a L1-penalized regression model using multidimensional “box”-based rules as additional explanatory variables. Due to exponentially large number of possible multidimensional rules, they are dynamically generated in both applications.  In contrast to prior approaches to solve these problems, we draw heavily onstandard (but non-polynomial-time) mathematical programming techniques, enhanced by parallel computing. Our rule-adding procedure is based on the classical column generation method for high-dimensional linear programming.  The pricing problem for our column generation procedure reduces to the RMA problem, and it is solved exactly or approximately.  This method resembles boosting in machine learning.  Furthermore, we propose a discretization method before solving RMA.  It reduces the level of difficulty for RMA while still maintaining prediction or classification accuracy in the applications.  The prediction accuracy of our models are tested by cross-validation.  The resulting classification and regression methods are computation-intensive, but our computational tests suggest that they outperform prior methods at making accurate and stable predictions.

Agrivoltaics for small ruminants: A review
Creators: name: Vaughan, Anna
name: Brent, Alan
Publisher: name: AgResearch
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 3002
subject: Agriculture, land and farm management

description: The mitigation of climate change will require the large-scale uptake of renewable energy generation, in particular wind and solar. Utility-scale solar photovoltaics (PVs), or solar farms, will necessitate the transformation of agricultural land. Agrivoltaics is the dual land-usage solution with the integration of solar PV arrays with ongoing agricultural production. The farming of ruminants, especially sheep, is particularly suited for agrivoltaics in that little modification of the infrastructure is required to accommodate sheep grazing beneath and between the PV arrays. However, many uncertainties remain and this review paper provides more insights into the technology, the role of small ruminants, the potential impacts on agriculture productivity and the land, as well as other sustainability aspects of agrivoltaics. Previous and ongoing research suggests there are (potentially) mutual benefits for both operations to occur on the same land - if the integration is designed well. The sheep aid solar farm operators with maintenance aspects, specifically vegetation management and associated costs. The PV arrays influence the microclimate conditions on the farm in terms of wind speed (and direction), temperature and humidity, including rain distribution, providing for better animal welfare in terms of heat stress and protection against harsh weather - especially in the face of climate change. The construction process does have a negative impact on the soil, but the land can be restored in a short period of time. Once operational, the soil is positively impacted with better moisture retention and vegetation growth improves in hotter months. The widespread shading also means (potentially) a better distribution of urination events with less overloading on the land and lower leachate, although more field trials are required. Overall, the available evidence suggests that the environmental performance of agrivoltaics is positive. Apart from the impact on the land, the life cycle of the systems have low material and carbon footprints, with short carbon and energy payback periods, emphasising the role of agrivoltaics in the energy transition. Further quantifications of many aspects are needed with longitudinal data from different climate contexts around the world.

description: The advancement of sustainable, high-performance materials is essential for the future of innovative civil infrastructure. 3D printed (3DP) concrete has emerged as an innovative technique with the potential to revolutionize construction practices by enabling advanced and novel material performance characteristics. This dissertation focuses on addressing the key challenges associated with 3DP concrete while exploring opportunities to develop innovative, high-performance materials by leveraging the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing technology, such as design flexibility and controlled internal architecture. The research presented in this work focuses on three aspects of 3DP concrete: the development of sustainable materials for 3DP concrete with enhanced rheological properties, the evaluation of mechanical performance and anisotropic behavior in 3DP fiber-reinforced mortars, and the investigation of mechanical responses of 3DP elements featuring bio-inspired designs. The first part of the research tackles the challenge of mixture formulation of 3DP concrete, focusing on improving rheological properties and sustainability by incorporating cellulose nanomaterials and supplementary cementitious materials. This study aims to enhance the performance of the material while concurrently reducing the environmental impact of 3DP concrete, making it more viable for practical applications. Furthermore, this dissertation contributes to understanding the role of fiber reinforcement in 3DP concrete, particularly its influence on the anisotropic behavior of the material. Lastly, the research introduces a novel, nature-inspired approach by taking advantage of this intrinsic anisotropy, coupled with flexibility in filament architecture design, to develop 3DP concrete with exceptional mechanical properties that are challenging to achieve through traditional casting methods. We have demonstrated the ability to make concrete both stronger and more energy-absorbing than its cast counterparts by combining clever architectures inspired by extreme animals in nature with 3D concrete printing technology.
Analyzing invasive species impacts

description: Due to invasive species’ substantial influence on human health, the economy, and the natural environment, invasion ecologists have committed substantial effort to study the variety of impacts caused by invasive species. Impact research has consistently increased since the late 1990s when ecologists published theoretical work on early metrics for calculating impacts. Despite the clear societal benefit of studying and understanding impacts, funding to study impacts are limited. Biases in the taxa, ecosystems, and spatial scales that are studied may undermine our ability to predict invasive species effects.  However, there are no syntheses that quantify how these biases influence impact research.In my dissertation, I investigate patterns in how researchers collect and then publish data about invasive species impacts. In my first chapter, I used a metric for quantifying invasive species impacts to predict the potential distributional range for a recently introduced bird in North America. My analyses suggest that the Pin-tailed Whydah has a substantial amount of available habitat to spread within California and the Antilles. In my second chapter, I conducted a systematic review to identify the impacts, taxa, ecosystems, and spatiotemporal scales that receive a substantial proportion of impact research. These results suggest that research efforts often focus on a few well-known invasives in forests or on islands while most species have only a single documented impact. In my third chapter, I conducted a cumulative meta-analysis to identify patterns in published evidence accrual for invasive species impacts on richness. In general, the earliest published research on impacts suggests the largest average richness impacts, and repeated studies on the same taxa or in the same ecosystems generally suggest negative, but more moderate average impacts. Taken together, this dissertation highlights the value of producing primary research on invasive species impacts. It also uses syntheses to identify critical research gaps or areas where sufficient evidence has accrued to answer questions about invasive species’ impacts on diversity.
Creation of sacred landscape and legendary origins of the Shikoku pilgrimage
Creators: name: Decker, Joseph Lyndon

description: This thesis aims to carefully examine the origins of Daishi shinkō 大師信仰,  the cult of Kūkai, as it developed on Mt. Kōya, gradually spreading throughout all of the eighty-eight sacred sights of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, assisted in part by the dissemination of a body of literature known as Kōbō densetsu 弘法伝説. Kōbō densetsu are folk legends that feature the deified Kūkai and his interactions with the laity and pilgrims, appearing as the bodhisattva Kōbō Daishi who is the central figure of veneration in a Pure Land branch of Shingon Buddhism known as Daishi shinkō. Specifically, this thesis will dissect two versions of the Emon Saburō densetsu, the founding legend of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The first of these texts is the temple founding legend of Ishite Temple石手寺 dating from the late Muromachi era. The second text is a version of the legend as it was recorded by Chōzen澄禅in the Shikoku henro niiki四国遍路日記 (1653) an account of his Shikoku pilgrimage composed almost one hundred years later during the Edo era. Examining the development of the Emon Saburō densetsu by analyzing its content, it becomes possible to trace the expansion of the cult of Kūkai at Ishite Temple. This thesis proposes that in the context of medieval Japanese religion, densetsu 伝説 (legends) and setsuwa 説話 (folk stories) may be viewed as a form of textual technology that, when linked to the physical world through the pilgrimage ritual, transform and assimilate local religious customs, establishing and influencing the way religious practitioners interact with sacred spaces in the physical world.

Hypergraph NIM
Creators: name: Mursic, Peter
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: NIM is a game in which two players take turns removing tokens from piles.  There are usually several non overlapping piles each of which can have any amount of tokens in it.  In a turn a player selects a nonempty pile and removes any positive number of tokens from it. The player that removed the last token(s) wins the game.This  thesis  focused  on  a  generalization  of  the  game NIM in  which  players  on  their  turn instead of selecting a particular pile, they select a subset of piles and then proceed to remove and  positive  amount  of  tokens  from  each  pile  i.e.   at  least  on  token  from  each  pile.   Not  all subsets of piles can be selected though, the available options are usually given as a hypergraph H. Also if any of the piles are empty then the corresponding moves that include that pile are no longer legal.  If not specifically said otherwise we assume the base set of H is V i.e. H ⊆ 2V This generalization we named Hypergraph NIM and it is a very broad generalization as it also includes other NIM generalizations like Moore’s NIM [25].
Two problems in representation theory: affine Lie algebras and algebraic combinatorics
Creators: name: Ginory, Alejandro
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: In this dissertation, we investigate two topics with roots in representation theory. The first topic is about twisted affine Kac-Moody algebras and vector spaces spanned bytheir characters.  Specifically, the space spanned by the characters of twisted affine Lie algebras admit the action of certain congruence subgroups of SL (2, Z).  By embedding the characters in the space spanned by theta functions, we study an SL (2, Z)-closure of  the  space  of  characters. Analogous  to  the  untwisted  affine  Lie  algebra  case,  we construct  a  commutative  associative  algebra  (fusion  algebra)  structure  on  this  space through  the  use of the Verlinde  formula  and  study  important  quotients.   Unlike  the untwisted cases, some of these algebras and their quotients, which relate to the trace of diagram automorphisms on conformal blocks, have negative structure constants with respect to the (usual) basis indexed by the dominant integral weights of the Lie algebra. We give positivity conjectures for the new structure constants and prove them in some illuminating cases.  We then compute formulas for the action of congruence subgroups on these character spaces and give explicit descriptions of the quotients using the affine Weyl group.The  second  topic  concerns  algebraic  combinatorics  and  symmetric  functions. In statistics,  zonal  polynomials  and  Schur functions  appear  when  taking  integrals  over certain compact Lie groups with respect to their associated Haar measures. Recently, a  conjecture,  related  to  certain  integrals  of  statistical  interest,  was  proposed  by  D. Richards and S. Sahi. This conjecture asserts that certain linear combinations of Jack polynomials,  a  one-parameter  family  of  symmetric  polynomials  that  generalizes  the zonal and Schur polynomials, are non-negative when evaluated over a certain cone.  In the second part of this dissertation, we investigate these conjectures for Schur polynomials and give a refined version of the conjecture.  In addition,  we prove some cases and arrive at certain seemingly new combinatorial results.  In an important instance, we give an analogous result for Jack polynomials.
Mass spectrometric determination of photolytic decomposition products of UV-photoinitiators and migration studies of UV-photoinitiators and decomposition products in food packaging

description: Resins in inks, coatings, and adhesives in food packaging are increasingly cured by UV radiation of photo-initiators (PI’s) with minimal energy requirements and without environmentally unfriendly solvents.  When exposed to UV light, PI’s produce free radicals that catalyze polymerization of reactive monomers and pre-polymers into resins.  PI’s and their photolytic decomposition products do not polymerize during curing but remain as residuals that can migrate into foods stored therein, becoming unintentional food additives.  As interest in additive toxicity has increased, food safety organizations worldwide have developed regulations to monitor migration of these substances from food packaging.  While intact PI's have been investigated, research on formation and migration of PI photolytic decomposition products is sparse.This research characterized and quantified decomposition products of twenty-four PI's commonly used in food packaging.  UV-photoinitiators were applied as films onto aluminum foil disks, UV-irradiated using an energy level representing the upper limit typically used in commercial production (125-150 millijoules), and extracted from the foil. Structure and contents of migrating compounds were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and direct mass spectrometry, and tentative mechanisms of formation were proposed.  Non-irradiated photoinitiator standards were analyzed as controls.In total, 107 photolytic decomposition products were identified, 93 of which have not been previously reported as photolytic decomposition products of UV-photoinitiators.  This compilation of PI decomposition products will aid industry in the tracing of the sources of compounds identified in migration testing of food packaging materials.To assess the frequency and extent of migration of PI’s and photolytic decomposition products in actual products, migration data from 258 UV-cure food packaging samples analyzed in previous studies were re-examined. Migration of PI’s or their photolytic decomposition products was detected in all samples tested.  Most commonly observed PI’s: Darocur 1173 (139/258 samples, max 1557 ng/cm2) and benzophenone (88/258 samples, max 948 ng/cm2). Most commonly observed decomposition products: 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde from (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine oxide (TPO) (130/258 samples, max 1938 ng/cm2) and 1-phenyl-2-butanone from Irgacure 369 (83/258 samples, max 441 ng/cm2).These results show the importance of tracking PI photodecomposition products migrating from food packaging and provide a base for developing analytical libraries to identify them.

Fig. 3, X
[Rhabdostyla] (Opisthostyla) longipes Kahl, 1935: 679, pl. 129, fig. 18
Diagnosis: Size about 70 µm. Elongated to bell-shaped body, more attenuated at the posterior end, about twice long as wide when expanded, symmetrically oval in the contracted state. Thin, sinuous peduncle, two or three times longer than the body, centrally enclosing a uniform series of tiny granular particles. Clear cytoplasm, finely grained. Smooth pellicle. Found in freshwater environments.
Remarks: diagnosis compiled from the works of Kent (1881) and Kahl (1935). According to Kent (1880), it is very similar to Vorticella picta, except for the lack of color in the granulation of the cytoplasm and was found in ‘association’ with Vorticella campanula.

Small screen histories: presenting the past on American television, 1949-2017
Creators: name: Salvati, Andrew James
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Small Screen Histories examines the diverse ways that producers of television documentaries and docudramas have packaged American history for TV audiences since the earliest days of the medium. History-themed television programs have become quite popular in the last few decades, a phenomenon that is usually traced to the broadcast of Ken Burns’s The Civil War in 1990 and the launch of the History Channel in 1995. My research takes up questions of interpretation, ideology, narrative, genre, economics, race, class, and gender across five noteworthy series: Crusade in Europe (1949), CBS’s You Are There (1953-1957), and ABC’s Roots (1977), as well as Ken Burns’s The Civil War and The Vietnam War (2017). Though there have been many excellent scholarly analyses of history programs on television, my dissertation is the first to take an historical perspective, examining how television filmmakers have created usable pasts that speak to concerns about capitalism, liberal internationalism, democracy, McCarthyism, the Civil Rights Movement, and the polarization of domestic politics.

Fig. 3, Y
Diagnosis: Size about 23–31 µm long and 16–19µm wide. Globular to spherical body. Peduncle short, about 3–6 µm long, and thick, about 4–6 µm wide, with longitudinal sinuation. Pellicle with distinct transverse striations, 36–39 silverlines. Peristomial disc with 20–23µm in diameter and with 9–14 ciliary bands. Macronucleus c-shaped and close to the cell periphery. Round micronucleus, close to the macronucleus. Found on marine polychaetes.
Remarks: diagnoses according to Álvarez-Campos et al. (2014). According to them, this species, when contracted, assumes an oval shape with a deep indentation that contains part of the contracted posterior end, this is because its posterior and anterior folds cover the contracted region.

Sericothrips signifer Priesner, 1932: 172.
Described from Mexico, this species was considered a senior synonym of burungae by Mound and Marullo (1996). The name signifer has been used for specimens from other South American areas, such as Colombia (Santos et al.
2012), presumably based on the available identification key (Mound & Marullo 1996), although Hoddle et al. (2002) used the name burungae for specimens collected from avocado leaves in Mexico and Guatemala. At present it is not possible to decide whether the names signifer and burungae refer to one or to two species.
