description: Towards Frameworks for Large Scale Ensemble-based  Execution Patterns  by Vivekanandan Balasubramanian  Thesis Director: Dr. Shantenu Jha  A major challenge in the field of chemical sciences is to bridge the gap between the  ability to study matter at an atomic scale and to predict how these details behave and  impact at a macroscopic scale. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are a powerful  tool for the study of macromolecular systems as they provide the ability to compute  thermodynamic and kinetic parameters accurately.  In order for MD simulations to be effective, they must adequately sample, e.g., effi-  ciently and accurately sample all conformational space for a molecule. A long standing  debate in the MD community has been around approaches to effective sampling: for a  given amount of compute time, which is likely to guarantee better sampling: a single  long-running simulation or multiple smaller simulations? In this project, we provide  support for the scenario when multiple small simulations are to be used.  Another important requirement faced by MD community is the need for iterative  simulation and analysis stages, from which data can be extracted and, based on prob-  ability densities and weights, new set of trajectories can be generated. These scenarios  result in the following computational challenges: (i) Executing large number of tasks  concurrently, (ii) Support for heterogeneous resource, (iii) Effective data movement that  is correlated with stage transitions.  iiTo address these requirements, we developed the Ensemble MD Toolkit (EnMDTK).  The EnMDTK has three primary design features: (1) Fundamental support for multiple  concurrent simulations, (2) Support for different ensemble-based execution patterns,  and (3) Execution Plugins which abstract, from the user the challenges /difficulties of  managing the execution of these patterns on heterogeneous systems. The toolkit enables  scientists to easily and scalably develop their own applications using pre-determined  patterns supported by the EnMDTK.  Our contribution to this project is the development, testing and documentation of  the specific iterative Simulation-Analysis pattern of EnMDTK. The development re-  quired extensive study and testing of the underlying RADICAL-Pilot framework in  order to use it in the most effective form. Knowledge of the individual kernels, work-  ing and their specific dependencies were required for their deployment on the various  resources. Testing revealed certain optimizations that could be done with the data  movement. Performance characterization of the final toolkit was also done.

Shared book reading using fictional and informational texts
Creators: name: Baldwin, Charles Grattan

description: This study assesses the impact of genre on shared book reading and identifies factors that maximize children’s literacy development.  It examined the physical and verbal interactions of eight parent-child dyads that include four boys and four girls, ages four and five.  The dyads read two children's books, one non-narrative informational and the other narrative fictional.         The researcher videotaped shared book reading sessions and analyzed the sessions using the Adult/Child Interactive Reading Inventory (ACIRI) (DeBruin-Parecki, 2007).  The ACIRI assesses the frequency with which parents and children use interactive reading techniques during shared book reading.  A statistical analysis determined differences in interactive reading behaviors according to book genre.  Further, using semi-scripted questions, the researcher asked participants about their reading behaviors and compared their experiences reading both books.         The ACIRI test total found the children engaged in significantly (t (14) = 2.460, p = .027) more interactive reading behaviors during shared book reading with an informational text than with a fictional text.  This difference had a large effect size (d = 1.135).  Analysis shows that the informational text encourages more children's interactive reading behaviors that develop emergent literacy skills in comparison to the fictional text.         Qualitative analysis shows that informational book features such as pictures with captions, predictable texts, and a glossary support interactive reading behaviors.  Further, children engage more with concrete, factual concepts and less with the inferred elements of the narrative text.  The interviews with parents suggest parent preference is a major contributor to fiction's dominance at home.  The inclusion of informational text for preschool children creates a condition that motivates the use of literacy behaviors, including expressive language, when compared to narrative and should be used more with young children.
Success and failure of statehood claims in Northeast Africa

description: This work uses definitions of the state and state theory put forth through the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, the 1933 Montevideo Convention and the 1963 Organization of African Union Charter to analyze and compare the statehood claims made by South Sudan and Somaliland, respectively.  South Sudan, as the newest member state to the United Nations serves as the case study for internationally recognized statehood while Somaliland, which declared its independence in 1991 but has yet to be recognized by any international entity functions as an example of a territory that fulfills many of the functions of a state without achieving recognition. The study uses literature on economic dependence, resource endowments, interregional conflict, state-building and ‘failed states’ to examine each territory’s ability to achieve the four tenants of statehood put forth by the Montevideo Convention: the existence of a permanent population; the occupation of a clearly defined territory; the operation of effective governance over said people and territory; and the ability to engage in international treaties.  While the prevailing theory is that international recognition declares statehood already achieved, as opposed to constituting statehood itself, the two cases prove that in practice the opposite is far closer to reality – an entity’s external relationships are the determining factor in gaining recognition and becoming a full-fledged member of the international community.

Modern folks and folk moderns
Creators: name: Becker, Brian Inman
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Literary modernism and the historical study of folklore entered American cultural life at the same time as responses to similar anxieties regarding the national present. This dissertation argues that the overlap at the beginning of the twentieth-century between these seemingly contradictory movements—the “modern” looking forward and the “folk” backward—explains a broader cultural shift in American self-representation in the ensuing decades. As other scholars have shown, there is often little to distinguish the projects of early twentieth-century literary and artistic modernists from those of anthropologists and folklorists. However, as both movements developed, the notion of who and what counted as “folk” became incrementally detached from its social-scientific origins to become the stuff of myth. The formal experimentation of modernist style broke down older ideas about the “authenticity” of folk culture by showing its malleability. Popular culture inherited this deconstruction, but now, with the exigencies of the mass market in radio and film, it began to insist once again on folk authenticity and promote it as a national ideal. By the 1920s and 1930s, the folk was increasingly emptied of its ethnographic specificity and transformed into a commonly used term with little actual content. The “American folk” was born.
Wild bees for agriculture and agriculture for wild bees
Creators: name: Benjamin, Faye
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Biodiversity in the landscape offers myriad benefits that are collectively known as ecosystem services. Provision of ecosystem services that benefit agriculture, such as pollination, is affected by landscape complexity surrounding farms. In this study, I examine three questions about pollination in a focal crop, highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum): 1) Is crop production limited by pollination from honey and native bees? 2) At what scale does land cover control pollination services provided by native bees? 3) Are rare and declining native bees found in agricultural habitats? I found two lines of evidence for pollen limitation: first, berries receiving supplemental hand-pollination were generally heavier than berries receiving ambient pollination; second, mean berry mass increased significantly and non-asymptotically with honey bee flower visitation rate. I also found that native bees contribute an average of 14% (range: 0 -58%) of pollination to blueberry crops. Overall, I found that pollination may be a limiting factor in commercial fruit production. Additionally, I found that native bees responded more strongly to farm-scale than to landscape-scale land cover, but the scale at which land cover had the strongest effect varied by bee body size. Large bees showed a negative response to increasing agricultural cover at both scales, but were most strongly affected by the landscape scale. Small bees were negatively affected by agricultural land cover but only at the farm scale, while they had a small positive response to agricultural cover at the landscape scale. Aggregate pollination services from native bees were more strongly influenced by local agricultural cover, due to the combined effects of both large and small bees responding at that scale. These results suggest that local-scale management changes could have significant impacts on native bee abundance in agricultural fields. Finally, I found that rare bees were surprisingly abundant in agricultural habitat, with larger than expected abundances of a few species. These results were largely, but not entirely, driven by the abundance of crop specialist bees in crop fields. I also found high complementarity between agricultural habitat sub-types but not between natural habitat sub-types, suggesting that diverse crops may bolster bee species richness in agricultural areas.

description: More and more towns, cities, regions, and countries are investing in branding campaigns in order to establish a reputation for themselves, and to have a competitive edge in today’s global market. In their essence, branding campaigns are places’ attempts to define themselves to target audiences. However, the literature and practice of place branding have focused on the competition of brands at the expense of exploring the relations between people, symbols, meanings, and physical characteristics of cities. Therefore, current branding measurement scales and indices used to understand the defining characteristics of places are problematic. This article first analyzes three of the prominent place branding indices: Anholt-GfK Roper City Brands Index, FutureBrand Country Brand Index, and East–West Nation Brand Perception Index. Subsequently, it proposes an analytical framework combining two network analysis methods – social and semantic – to evaluate place brands, called “Define–Measure–Visualize” (DMV). In order to argue for the feasibility of the proposed method, a sample dataset is created based on tweets about Boston and New York City. By introducing a consumer-centric and communications-based approach and exploring the connection between cities, people, and messages, the findings of this research can be used in understanding cities/places, measuring the success of branding campaigns, and managing future campaigns.
The adult children of intermarriage
Creators: name: Bernstein, Emily A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: While current studies show interest in adult children of intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews, the bulk of this research does not fully elaborate on dual cultural-religious identity, the complexities arising from competing definitions of Jewishness, and how those complexities impact hybrid identity formation among the offspring of intermarriage. The analyses within this thesis are based on a collection of in-depth personal narrative interviews in which informants responded to questions, told stories of their life events, and discussed their identities. As extreme examples of cultural-religious hybridity, the project explores how adult children of intermarriage draw on the past to construct identities and narratives. The study contributes to broader understandings of hybrid identity and the relationships between memory, identity, narrative, and performance.
Being in the picture

description: Studying twentieth-century literature through the lens of film studies and queer theory, “Being in the Picture” stages an interdisciplinary conversation that posits queer film fandom as a move away from current theorizations of queer spectators. Movie fandom, usually dismissed as a way to name an unserious and vacuously emotional type of engagement with cinema, is here presented as a way to theorize engagements with cinema that go beyond mere camp or appropriation. Building on the affective turn in queer theory and recuperating the various pleasures these authors found in cinema while growing up, “Being in the Picture” explores the ways this very engagement with cinema was formally registered in twentieth century queer literature. Thus, while fandom seems like a mere overlooked biographical detail in the lives of the authors that make up my canon, my project uses it to stage conversations both about literary form and queer spectatorship.
From Box Office Struggles to Cultural Icons: How A24 Redefined Success

description: This article explores the transformative journey of A24, a pioneering independent film production company, from its early financial struggles to becoming a cultural and industry icon. Widely celebrated for its bold, boundary-pushing storytelling, A24 initially faced significant challenges in translating critical acclaim into box office success. Films like Under the Skin and The Bling Ring demonstrated artistic innovation but fell short commercially. However, these setbacks laid the groundwork for a purpose-driven strategy centered on creative freedom, strategic alignment, and long-term vision.Drawing on theories of strategic alignment, incremental value delivery, and cultural resonance, the article examines how A24 redefined traditional notions of success. By leveraging small wins, such as critical acclaim and niche audience engagement, the company built a reputation for authenticity and innovation, culminating in milestones like the Academy Award-winning Moonlight (2016) and the globally acclaimed Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022).A24’s success underscores the importance of aligning organizational actions with core values, embracing non-financial metrics like brand equity and cultural impact, and maintaining resilience in pursuit of long-term goals. The article concludes with actionable insights for businesses, highlighting the power of purpose-driven strategies and incremental achievements to create lasting value.A24’s journey offers a compelling blueprint for leaders across industries, demonstrating how authenticity, strategic focus, and patience can turn challenges into stepping stones for transformative success in an era dominated by short-term metrics.

description: Research into materials that are able to absorb low frequency sound waves has become an increasing field of study because of noise pollution in our daily lives. To combat noise pollution created by airplanes, researches have been looking into new light and thin materials to solve the problem. To test these materials a device known as an Acoustic Impedance Tube needs to be used. These devices can either be purchased from a retailer for thousands of dollars or built in house for a fraction of the cost. Using ASTM standards, guidelines for building a tube are presented, but there is not much information into what the tubes results should look like for specific materials. There is also not much information on how the output will change when certain design parameters are modified. The work presented in this paper is not just a guide to help others build an impedance tube but it also can be used to check their own tubes results.

Comments. CHÛJÔ (1964) described a new subgenus Luperomorphella Chûjô, 1964 of the alticine genus Luperomorpha Weise, 1887, together with a new species Luperomorpha (Luperomorphella) albomaculata Chûjô, 1964 from Thailand. KIMOTO (2000) synonymized Luperomorphella with Taumacera and, consequently, proposed a new combination Taumacera albomaculata (Chûjô, 1964). I did not examine the type material of Luperomorpha albomaculata, however, the original description is accompanied with a photograph of the holotype. The pronotum has a transverse depression and the specific structure of the antennae with short and robuster antennomeres as well as an expanded antennomere IV are characteristic of the genus Cerophysa. Therefore I remove Luperomorphella from synonymy with Taumacera and synonymize it with Cerophysa, thus I also propose a new combination Cerophysa albomaculata (Chûjô, 1964) (comb. nov.).

Assessing presence of alternate lipid oxidation pathways from volatile products detected by gas chromatography
Creators: name: Bogusz, Brandon A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Recently a new reaction scheme that integrates alternate lipid oxidation pathways including addition, cyclization, and scission with traditional hydrogen abstraction was proposed to more completely account for products and kinetics of lipid oxidation. These pathways compete with hydrogen abstraction during autoxidation, and the balance between them changes with reaction conditions, altering product levels and distributions. Alternate pathways, if present, must force a new paradigm in analysis of lipid oxidation since conjugated dienes, hydroperoxides, and perhaps hexanal alone can no longer adequately reflect lipid oxidation. Thus, it is critical to verify the presence of alternate pathways and learn how they can be used to more fully elucidate mechanisms of lipid oxidation.              Overall oxidation kinetics, individual kinetics, identifications, and distributions of volatile products formed during oxidation of methyl linoleate were tracked using three different gas chromatography (GC) methods -- static headspace (SHS), solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME), and thermal desorption (TD).  Methyl linoleate was incubated neat at 25, 40, and 60 °C under varying conditions of oxygen and solvent to investigate ability of reaction environment to force shifts in reaction pathways. Incubations were limited to 20 days to focus specifically on mechanisms involved in early oxidation.              Major early products pentane, hexanal, t-2-heptenal, t-2-octenal, and methyl octanoate were all detected by each GC method but in different amounts, distributions, and kinetics of formation. During early incubation, C-13 alkoxyl radical scission was the dominant pathway for generation of volatile products, with pentane as the overwhelming major product and hexanal at much lower levels even as the second largest peak. Levels and timing of appearance of remaining products were best explained by a process in which C-9 alkoxyl radicals internally rearranged to epoxides, moving radical sites down the acyl chain to C-11 in the process. Hydrolysis of the epoxides generates methyl octanoate. Oxidation at C-11, a secondary rather than initiating process, yields t-2-heptenal and t-2-octenal as products from β and α-scission, respectively.              Results verify existence of multiple pathways in oxidation of methyl linoleate and demonstrate that these must be considered to explain the distribution and kinetics of oxidation products.

Platyxantha chinensis Maulik, 1933: 564 (original description)
Fleutiauxia mutifrons Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963: 528 (original description), syn. nov.
Type material examined. Platyxantha chinensis: SYNTYPES: 3 ♂♂ 1 ♀, ‘ CHINA: / Hangchow. / 25.iv.1933. / P. H. Tsai. [w, p] // SYNTYPUS, / Platyxantha chinensis / Maulik, 1933 / J. Bezděk des., 2018 [r, p]’ (BMNH).
Fleutiauxia mutifrons: PARATYPE: ♂, ‘Chekiang *4 / China, Apr. 22 / 1931. Chen Coll. [w, h] // US [w, p] // ALLOTYPE [p] / Fleutiauxia / mutifrons / S. Kimoto & [h] / J. L. Gressitt [r, p] // Fleutiauxia / mutifrons / ♀ [sic!] Gress. & Kim. [h] / Gressitt & Kimoto det. 196[p] 2 [w, h]’ (USNM).
Comments. Platyxantha chinensis was included in the review of the genus Fleutiauxia Laboissière, 1933 by YANG (1993). However, REID (1999) transferred it to Taumacera which was followed by BEENEN (2010) in the Palaearctic catalogue. YANG et al (2015) included this species in Fleutiauxia again.
Based on the original description, MAULIK (1933) described Platyxantha chinensis from 30 specimens and the type was supposed to be in the BMNH. There is a series of four specimens in the BMNH placed in the genus Fleutiauxia, however, none of the specimens bear Maulikʼs original identification label. Because the label data and habitus of the specimens agree with the original description, I consider them as the original type series of Platyxantha chinensis (Fig. 105) and all must have status of syntype as no specimen is labelled as the type. The only discrepancy is between the collecting date on the labels (25.iv.1933) and the one given in the original description (23.iv.1933). In my opinion this inconsistency can be easily explained by the pin hollows as each label was punctured in the position of the number 5 and at first glance the number could be easily misinterpretad as 3.
Based on the open posterior margin of the procoxae I confirm that YANG (1993) and YANG et al. (2015) correctly placed Platyxantha chinensis in Fleutiauxia. Moreover, study of a paratype of Fleutiauxia mutifrons Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963 (Fig. 106) clearly showed that both taxa are conspecific (both were described also from the same type locality: Hangchow). Thus, I synonymize Fleutiauxia mutifrons with F. chinensis.

Comments. Hoplosaenidea abdominalis was described by JACOBY (1884a) based on female specimens only, which was mentioned by JACOBY (1884b) when describing the males. The males are characterised by modified metatibiae which are flat and extended in the middle. I examined one of the female syntypes in the RMNH. The male specimen labelled as the type deposited in the MZC cannot be considered as a part of the type series as its label data refer to Serdang and thus belongs to the specimens published by JACOBY (1884b). Hoplosaenidea abdominalis is a species variable in colour as was already described by JACOBY (1892), having the elytra completely orange, completely black, or bicolorous with black basal and orange apical parts.
Platyxantha wallacei was completely overlooked by all subsequent authors and thus missing in all catalogues and publications. I examined the holotype (male, Fig. 107) deposited in the BMNH and it has the same structure of hind legs as is visible on the photographs of the male used by JACOBY (1884b) for the description of males of Hoplosaenidea abdominalis. The only difference is in the colouration of the elytra. The holotype of Platyxantha wallacei has completely black elytra but this is only a colour aberration and thus I synonymize Platyxantha wallacei with Hoplosaenidea abdominalis. The female specimen deposited in the MCZ and labelled as a type cannot be considered part of the type series as JACOBY (1895b) explicitely described Platyxantha wallacei from a single male specimen.

Characterizing chronic lymphocytic leukemia for novel biomarkers of CD40 responsiveness using intracellular flow cytometry
Creators: name: Boody, Christopher M.

description: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia.   CLL is characterized by a slow progression that generally worsens over time and currently is without a cure.    A number of prognostic indicators are currently utilized to identify CLLs with a more progressive disease course.  One such prognostic indicator is the responsiveness of the CLL to CD40 stimulation.  CLLs that do not demonstrate a functional response to CD40L show a more aggressive clinical outcome than those that are responsive. We sought to establish a system to classify CLL cases as CD40 responsive or unresponsive using novel biomarkers by intracellular flow cytometry.  This allowed us to analyze a very small number of cells from each CLL.  Altogether, our work addressed optimizing in vitro culturing conditions for proliferation and viability.  Also, this work analyzed a number of CD40 stimulation conditions to determine the optimal approach to analyzing CD40-mediated events in signaling.  Finally, this established a system to evaluate early intracellular signaling in the NF-κB canonical pathway with p65 phosphorylation and IκBα degradation as well as upregulation of CD80 following extended stimulation. Using IκBα we were able to discern CD40 activation in CLLs that were previously characterized as unresponsive with p65 and CD80 as markers. Thus, our work extends the definition of “CD40 responsiveness” and suggests that CD40-mediated CD80 responses, which are linked to co-stimulation, may be a better predictor of CLL prognostic outcomes than early NF-B responses.
