Hydrologic Connectivity and Nutrient Transport within the Great Bend of the Wabash River
Creators: name: Willem, Spencer Joseph
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Agricultural hydrology

description: In the midwestern United States, nitrogen (N) pollution of surface and groundwaters is a substantial threat to water quality because of its ecological and human health effects. Hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico is primarily caused by N runoff within the Mississippi River basin, and nitrate in drinking water may negatively impact human health in both adults and children. Agricultural tile drainage is a common practice that facilitates the transport of N from fields to streams. While the impacts of tile drainage have been studied extensively at the field scale, the impacts on hydrology, nutrient transport, and groundwater recharge are still uncertain at the watershed and landscape scales. The overall goal of this thesis work is to assess how tile drainage affects landscape-scale connectivity, hydrologic travel times, and N transport across a large catchment in west-central Indiana using 10 years of bi-annual water chemistry and stable isotope data from a community science education event. Land use data and a previously developed travel time distribution (TTD) model were also incorporated to accomplish this goal. A secondary goal is to estimate seasonal differences in groundwater recharge in west-central Indiana using stable water isotope data from precipitation and groundwater samples. Qualitative travel times derived from δ2H and δ18O variability support the idea that short travel times have greater nitrate concentrations than long travel times. Greater N concentrations are also observed during wetter conditions with increased connectivity. The results of the GIS TTD model support the hypothesis that increasing drainage intensity reduces travel times. Groundwater recharge appears negligible in Tippecanoe County using a traditional water balance approach, but an isotope mass balance approach suggests that about 55-65% of annual recharge occurs during the summer and may be linked to intense precipitation events. This knowledge improves our understanding of N transport and hydrologic connectivity in tile drained landscapes. The results of this thesis also demonstrate the importance of drainage density for travel times and provide additional insight into the seasonality of groundwater recharge in west-central Indiana.

Adaptive Transmission and Dynamic Resource Allocation in Collaborative Communication Systems

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Wireless communication systems and technologies (incl. microwave and millimetrewave)

description: With the ever-growing demand for higher data rate in next generation communication systems, researchers are pushing the limits of the existing architecture. Due to the stochastic nature of communication channels, most systems use some form of adaptive methods to adjust the transmitting parameters and allocation of resources in order to overcome channel variations and achieve optimal throughput. We will study four cases of adaptive transmission and dynamic resource allocation in collaborative systems that are practically significant. Firstly, we study hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques that are widely used to handle transmission failures. We propose HARQ policies that improve system throughput and are suitable for point-to-point, two-hop relay, and multi-user broadcast systems. Secondly, we study the effect of having bits of mixed SNR qualities in finite length codewords. We prove that by grouping bits according to their reliability so that each codeword contains homogeneous bit qualities, the finite blocklength capacity of the system is increased. Thirdly, we study the routing and resource allocation problem in multiple collaborative networks. We propose an algorithm that enables collaboration between networks which needs little to no side information shared across networks, but rather infers necessary information from the transmissions. The collaboration between networks provides a significant gain in overall throughput compared to selfish networks. Lastly, we present an algorithm that allocates disjoint transmission channels for our cognitive radio network in the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2). This algorithm uses the real-time spectrogram knowledge perceived by the radios and allocates channels adaptively in a crowded spectrum shared with other collaborative networks.

description: Biomechanical Big Data is of great significance to precision health applications, among which we take special interest in Physical Activity Detection (PAD). In this study, we have performed extensive research on deep learning-based PAD from biomechanical big data, focusing on the challenges raised by the need of real-time edge inference. First, considering there are many places we can place the motion sensors, we have thoroughly compared and analyzed the location difference in terms of deep learning-based PAD performance. We have further compared the difference among six sensor channels (3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope). Second, we have selected the optimal sensor and the optimal sensor channel, which can not only provide sensor usage suggestions but also enable ultra-low-power application on the edge. Third, we have investigated innovative methods to minimize the training effort of the deep learning model, leveraging the transfer learning strategy. More specifically, we propose to pre-train a transferable deep learning model using the data from other subjects and then fine-tune the model using limited data from the target-user. In such a way, we have found that, for single-channel case, the transfer learning can effectively increase the deep model performance even when the fine-tuning effort is very small. This research, demonstrated by comprehensive experimental evaluation, have shown the potential of ultra-low-power PAD with minimized sensor stream and minimized training effort.
title: Period integrals of Kudla-Millson lifts and L-functions associated to vector valued modular forms

description: The present thesis establishes a new converse theorem for Borcherds products. Moreover, the injectivity of the Kudla–Millson theta lift is demonstrated in the O(n,2) case in greater generality than is currently available in the literature. Both results are derived under the assumption of a single hyperbolic split of the base lattice. Additionally, symmetric square type L-series associated to elliptic vector valued modular forms are examined and special values of these series are linked to cycle integrals of Kudla–Millson liftings.

description: By Machine Learning in the Open World, we are trying to build models that can be used in a more realistic setting where there could always be something "unknown" happening. Beyond the traditional machine learning tasks such as classification and segmentation where all classes are predefined, we are dealing with the challenges from newly emerged classes, irrelevant classes, outliers, and class imbalance.At the beginning, we focus on the Non-Exhaustive Learning (NEL) problem from a statistical aspect. By NEL, we assume that our training classes are non-exhaustive, where the testing data could contain unknown classes. And we aim to build models that could simultaneously perform classification and class discovery. We proposed a non-parametric Bayesian model that learns some hyper-parameters from both training and discovered classes (which is empty at the beginning), then infer the label partitioning under the guidance of the learned hyper-parameters, and repeat the above procedure until convergence.After obtaining good results on applications with plain and low dimensional data such flow-cytometry and some benchmark datasets, we move forward to Non-Exhaustive Feature Learning (NEFL). For NEFL, we extend our work with deep learning techniques to learn representations on datasets with complex structural and spatial correlations. We proposed a metric learning approach to learn a feature space with good discrimination on both training classes and generalize well on unknown classes. Then we developed some variants of this metric learning algorithm to deal with outliers and irrelevant classes. We applied our final model to applications such as open world image classification, image segmentation, and SRS hyperspectral image segmentation and obtained promising results.Finally, we did some explorations with Out of Distribution detection (OOD) to detect irrelevant sample and outliers to complete the story.

description: Industry 4.0 holds many promises for manufacturers; however, a shortage of qualified employees has prevented a swift adoption of the revolution's new technologies. Engineer and Economist Klaus Schwab argues Education 4.0 is the key to addressing the employee shortage and preparing future generations for the shifting labor market. To support Education 4.0, classes must allow students to engage emerging technologies that help bridge Operational Technology (OT) and Informational Technology (IT). The thesis detailed an educational laboratory that demonstrates the application of data analytics (an IT tool) and optimize the performance of a cyber-physical system composed of industrial (OT) components. The lab experience focuses on a disc's controlled positioning (levitating) using a PLC-based PID controller and a VFD. The activity requires students to capture data of a moving discs, create a machine learning function representing the disc's movement, and use the machine learning function for classification and PID optimization problems. A comparative analysis of a PID cycle ensures a regressions model accurately represents the physical model using measurements including peak-overshoot, rise time, settling time, and the flight plots' Means of their Squared Error. Further, the study examines multiple ML models each built using various features to identify the systems relevant and redundant data.
New Wings for Europe : Western European Strategic Cooperation and Integration in the Aerospace Field : Ariane and Eurofighter, 1973?1985
Creators: name: VENDITTI, SARA
Publisher: name: Luiss Guido Carli
Year: 2020

description: This thesis deals with the history of the European Integration process through the study of the aerospace cooperation during the 1970s and 1980s. In this thesis, I do not approach the European integration process through the traditional narrative or the international relations (institutions, nations, etc?), but through the lens of technology and the so-called ?hidden integration?. In fact, this work uses technology to look at the political and industrial processes that involved governments, scientists, and organizations, and fostered the European integration process. The chronology and the mirror-like structure of this work is based on my two case studies: the European Fighter Aircraft (EFA) and the Ariane launcher. They both went through similar development phases (i.e. debates, feasibility studies, industrial agreements, launches/flights) and during the same decades. I decided to analyse Ariane and EFA because they are the first successful European projects led and produced exclusively by European countries. My aim is to show how EFA and Ariane played a crucial role in boosting the European construction as ?hidden? tools for integration, but also in leading the Western European countries to seek and achieve independence in the air and space industry and market.

Nrf2 Inhibition Is Required To Activate Hepatic Progenitor Cells
Creators: name: di BELLO, GIORGIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Foggia
Year: 2019

description: L'attuale trattamento dell'insufficienza epatica � il trapianto di organo. Tuttavia, i costi elevati, la mancanza di donatori, la mortalit� correlata al trattamento e l'immunosoppressione a lungo termine rendono questa opzione possibile solo per un numero limitato di pazienti. Il trapianto di cellule staminali del fegato � stato recentemente proposto come trattamento alternativo. L'identificazione dei principali regolatori nella differenziazione delle cellule progenitrici epatiche � determinante per la rigenerazione dell? organo e pu� migliorare il trapianto di cellule staminali per la malattia epatica allo stadio terminale. Questo lavoro si basa sullo studio del ruolo che il fattore di trascrizione Nrf2 pu� avere nella regolazione del destino delle cellule progenitrici epatiche. I nostri dati mostrano che Nrf2 � costitutivamente attivato nelle nicchie delle cellule staminali epatiche per il mantenimento delle stesse, ma � down-regolato nelle lesioni croniche del fegato. L'inibizione in vitro di Nrf2 induce modificazioni morfologiche, fenotipiche e funzionali tipiche degli elementi differenziati. Abbiamo quindi inibito Nrf2 tramite il modulatore di espressione ARE 1 (AEM1) nella linea cellulare umana HepaRG; queste cellule sono state trapiantate in topi SCID/beige somministrati con anticorpi anti-Fas per indurre apoptosi epatocellulare, con conseguente ripopolamento efficace da parte degli epatociti umani e ripristino della funzionalit� epatica. Per concludere, questo studio mostra che l'inibizione di Nrf2 porta all'attivazione e alla differenziazione delle cellule progenitrici del fegato. Questo fattore di trascrizione redox-dipendente pu� dunque rappresentare un potenziale bersaglio per regolare il processo di attivazione e differenziazione in linee specifiche di cellule progenitrici epatiche indifferenziate.

description: The odorous house ant (Tapinoma sessile) is an adaptive and widespread pest ant species found in North America. Despite the economic and ecological impact of pest ants, effective management still faces many challenges and control failures with liquid spray insecticides in urban and natural environments. In many insects such as bed bugs and cockroaches, chemical control measures have resulted in insecticide resistance. However, in contrast to non-social insects, insecticide resistance has never been documented in social insects. The current study had three main goals. The first objective was to examine regional variation in T. sessile insecticide susceptibility to three classes of insecticides commonly used in urban ant control. The second objective was to compare insecticide susceptibility in T. sessile colonies collected in natural vs. urban areas. The final objective was to determine if insecticide susceptibility varies in workers vs. queens. A total of 30 T. sessile colonies were collected within a 50-mile radius of Purdue University campus, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Fifteen colonies were collected in natural areas and 15 in urban areas. Insecticide susceptibility of all 30 colonies was tested using residual exposure assays. Urban and natural colonies showed no significant differences in tests with lambda-cyhalothrin and fipronil. In tests with dinotefuran, urban colonies were significantly more tolerant relative to natural colonies. These results suggest that habitat type does not reliably predict susceptibility levels in individual populations. Queens were found to be significantly more tolerant relative to their worker counterparts across all three insecticides. Lower insecticide susceptibility in the queens may explain why T. sessile is such a persistent pest in urban environments. This 15 study’s results can in part provide a foundation for the development of more effective and efficient control methods for T. sessile.
Improved Site-Specific Millimeter-Wave Channel Modeling and Simulation for Suburban and Rural Environments
Creators: name: Zhang, Yaguang
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Wireless communication systems and technologies (incl. microwave and millimetrewave)

description: Millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands have become the most promising candidate for enlarging the usable radio spectrum in future wireless networks such as 5G. Since frequent and location-specific blockages are expected for mmWaves, the challenge is understanding the propagation characteristics of mmWave signals and accordingly predicting the channel state information. This research direction has garnered great attention worldwide from industry, academia, and government. However, the majority of current research on mmWave communications has focused on urban areas with high population densities, with very few measurement campaigns in suburban and rural environments. These environments are extremely important for future wireless applications in areas including residential welfare, digital agriculture, and transportation. To fill in this research gap, we developed broadband mmWave channel sounding systems and carried out intensive measurement campaigns at 28 GHz, covering clear line-of-sight as well as non-line-of-sight scenarios over buildings and foliage clutters, to fully characterize the mmWave propagation in suburban and rural environments.
Moreover, the accuracy provided by traditional statistical models is insufficient for next-generation wireless networks with higher-frequency carriers, because they are unable to predict abrupt channel changes caused by site-specific blockages. To overcome this issue, we explored the possibility of utilizing site-specific geographic features such as buildings and trees in improving mmWave propagation models. A new channel modeling methodology highlighting site-specific parameter evaluation based on easily obtainable data sources (e.g., LiDAR) was proposed for accurate, fast, and automated channel state predictions. Accordingly, an overall root mean square error (RMSE) improvement of 11.79 dB was achieved in a one-building blockage scenario and a regional RMSE improvement of over 20 dB was observed in a coniferous forest. This approach also enables channel simulations for large-scale system performance evaluation, demonstrating a powerful and promising approach for planning and tuning future wide-area wireless networks. The simulation results showed that network densification alone is not enough for closing the digital gap, especially with mmWaves because of the impractical number of required towers. They also backed up supplementary solutions including private data relays, e.g., via drones and portable towers.

description: Introduzione: La fibrosi polmonare idiopatica (IPF) � una forma di polmonite interstiziale fibrosante ad eziologia sconosciuta, con andamento progressivo, che porta rapidamente alla morte. Poich� la diagnosi di IPF � complessa, la ricerca di nuovi biomarcatori, in particolare di quelli non invasivi � di grande importanza per la gestione di questi pazienti. Lo scopo di questo studio � stato quello di valutare, nell?esalato condensato (EBC) dei pazienti IPF, le alterazioni del DNA mitocondriale (MtDNA), marcatore di stress ossidativo, ed il potenziale ruolo della Periostina e delle alterazioni genetiche dei microsatelliti (MAs) nella patogenesi dell'IPF. Materiali e Metodi: 48 pazienti con diagnosi di IPF sono stati confrontati con 20 soggetti controllo. I pazienti sono stati sottoposti alla raccolta di EBC e di sangue. Il contenuto del DNA mitocondriale (MtDNA) e del DNA nucleare (nDNA) � stato amplificato e quantificato nell?EBC e nel sangue mediante Real Time PCR. Il rapporto tra MtDNA/nDNA � stato poi calcolato. La concentrazione della Periostina � stata valutata nell?EBC mediante test immunoenzimatico (ELISA). Quattro marcatori microsatellitari (THRA1, D17S579, D17S250 e D8S137) sono stati utilizzati per l'analisi delle MAs. Il DNA ottenuto dall'EBC e dal sangue � stato amplificato mediante PCR; i prodotti di PCR sono stati poi analizzati utilizzando un sequenziatore automatico (ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer). Risultati: Il rapporto MtDNA/nDNA nell?EBC dei pazienti IPF � risultato essere pi� alto rispetto al gruppo di controllo (16.59 � 10.30 vs 7.94 � 4.56; p < 0.005). I livelli di MtDNA/nDNA hanno mostrato una correlazione negativa con il FVC% (R = -0.4879, p 0.006) e con il FEV1% (R = -0.4364, p = 0.018). Inoltre, i livelli di Periostina misurati erano pi� alti nell'EBC dei pazienti IPF rispetto al gruppo di controllo (65,5 � 23,5 pg/mL vs 33 � 21,4 pg/mL, p <0.05), rispettivamente. Alterazioni dei microsatelliti sono state evidenziate nel 58,82% dei campioni di EBC analizzati e nel 12,50% dei corrispettivi campioni di sangue dei pazienti IPF (p <0,01). Nessuno dei soggetti controllo ha mostrato MAs nei marcatori studiati. Conclusioni: Un aumento del rapporto MtDNA/nDNA nei pazienti IPF suggerisce la presenza di una disfunzione mitocondriale a conferma del ruolo dello stress ossidativo in questa patologia. Inoltre, abbiamo dimostrato la possibilit� di dosare la Periostina nelle vie aeree e i livelli di quest?ultima sono risultati essere pi� alti nei pazienti IPF. A differenza della Periostina sierica, la Periostina delle vie aeree potrebbe rappresentare un utile marker per meglio comprendere la patogenesi dell'IPF. Infine, abbiamo riportato che le alterazioni genetiche, rilevate nell?EBC, potrebbero avere un ruolo importante nelle complesse basi genetiche dell'IPF.

Subjects: F-block chemistry

description:
 The interest in understanding the f-block elements has been increasing because of the large applications of these elements across all fields of science and technology. The lanthanides are used in various technologies like car batteries and phone screens. The actinides are the basis of current nuclear fuel processes. The f -block has many interesting properties and has been proven to be fruitful in inorganic chemistry. Neodymium is redox inactive and was studied with a redox active ligand pyridine diimine to see if multielectron chemistry was viable. The neodymium chemistry is still in the preliminary stages of research, but there is possibility of fruitful reactivity. Recently neptunium chemistry was introduced to the Bart lab to study its rich redox chemistry. Neptunium’s fundamental properties have been investigated for the last 80 years with new bonding properties and behavior still being discovered today. Studies of neptunium began with investigating the trivalent oxidation state. Synthesis of new low valent trans-uranic starting materials is important because the fundamental chemistry of these trivalent compounds is not well studied. By creating Neptunium materials that are analogous to known uranium and lanthanide starting materials, f-block chemists will be able to apply their previously studied syntheses to a new element.

description: L'industria dell'olio d'oliva genera un numero importante di sottoprodotti, come le acque di scarico delle olive, la sansa di oliva e le foglie di ulivo. � stato dimostrato che questi scarti vegetali sono ricchi degli stessi composti fenolici presenti anche nell'olio d'oliva. Tuttavia, i sottoprodotti di olio d'oliva non sono ancora stati sfruttati su scala industriale, ad esempio come fonti di composti bioattivi. A tal fine, � necessario studiare a fondo in che modo le condizioni di lavorazione (pretrattamento della materia prima, estrazione, ecc.) influenzano il potenziale di bioattivit�, nonch� esplorare nuove applicazioni nell'industria alimentare. Pertanto, l'obiettivo principale di questa tesi era legato alla possibilit� di utilizzare i sottoprodotti oleari ricchi di composti polifenolici per la formulazione di nuovi alimenti funzionali. Per realizzare nuovi alimenti � necessario considerare che la potenziale incorporazione di sottoprodotti nella formulazione alimentare potrebbe alterare le propriet� sensoriali, suggerendo quindi che un'attenta selezione del tipo e la quantit� di questi ingredienti e le opportune opzioni tecnologiche, dovrebbero essere adottate. In particolare, in questa attivit� di ricerca sono stati studiati gli effetti dei metodi di essiccazione applicati agli estratti dai sottoprodotti dell'olio di oliva sul contenuto di polifenoli e sulla capacit� antiossidante. Estrazione di liquidi supercritici, estrazione liquida pressurizzata e estrazione assistita ad ultrasuoni sono stati adottati per scegliere le migliori condizioni di estrazione da applicare ai sottoprodotti. La sansa d'oliva fresca e le foglie di olivo sono state essiccate all'aria a basse temperature per preservare i composti bioattivi e poi utilizzate per alimentare la fortuna. Le acque reflue dei mulini sono state pretrattate dalla tecnologia a membrana, con il duplice scopo di ridurre l'acqua di scarico del carico organico e recuperare i polifenoli. Questa tecnologia, attraverso l'uso di quattro membrane in cascata di microfiltrazione, ultrafiltrazione, nanofiltrazione e osmosi inversa � in grado di estrarre composti polifenolici. Innovativi prodotti a base di cerali e di pesce sono stati realizzati utilizzando questi sottoprodotti ricchi di molecole bioattive. I prodotti alimentari arricchiti sono stati caratterizzati per il contenuto di composti bioattivi, per le propriet� sensoriali e quindi sottoposti a digestione in vitro allo scopo di valutare la bioaccessibilit� dei polifenoli totali. I risultati sperimentali sono molto interessanti e sottolineano che i sottoprodotti dell'olio d'oliva potrebbero essere valorizzati come ingredienti promettenti per realizzare nuovi prodotti ricchi di composti fenolici, affrontando anche il problema dell'inquinamento ambientale.
Dissecting the TRIM8 role in the pathogenesis of glioma

description: I gliomi umani sono un gruppo eterogeneo di tumori cerebrali maligni primari, la cui patogenesi molecolare risulta ancora parzialmente sconosciuta. Pertanto, la comprensione dei meccanismi molecolari alla base della loro insorgenza e del loro decorso pu� portare a una migliore scelta di terapie appropriate e a migliori risultati prognostici, attraverso l'identificazione di nuovi geni specifici associati al glioma. Le proteine appartenenti alla famiglia ?tripartite motif? (TRIM) sono coinvolte in diversi processi biologici, tra cui la regolazione trascrizionale, il controllo della progressione del ciclo cellulare, la proliferazione e il differenziamento cellulare. Alterazioni dell?espressione delle proteine TRIM sono associate a una variet� di patologie quali disturbi dello sviluppo, malattie infiammatorie e tumori. Tra le circa 80 proteine identificate appartenenti alla famiglia delle TRIM, TRIM8 � una E3 ubiquitina-ligasi coinvolta in vari processi patologici, quali ipertrofia, risposta antivirale, encefalopatia e sviluppo di diverse forme di cancro. Abbiamo recentemente identificato TRIM8 come un gene differenzialmente espresso nei gliomi, la cui espressione � correlata a un esito clinico sfavorevole nei pazienti con glioma. Per ottenere informazioni approfondite sulle funzioni di TRIM8, ne abbiamo studiato il ?trascrittoma? e l' ?interattoma? in cellule staminali neurali embrionali di topo, usando l?RNA-Sequencing e la spettrometria di massa, e successivamente analizzando i dati ottenuti mediante programmi bioinformatici. Sono state quindi eseguite analisi funzionali, biochimiche e cellulari, per esplorare il ruolo TRIM8 in differenti processi biologici. Il nostro studio ci ha permesso di identificare vie di segnale correlate alla neurotrasmissione e al sistema nervoso centrale (SNC), fornendo ulteriori prove dell'esistenza di una relazione funzionale tra TRIM8 e STAT3, con possibili implicazioni nello sviluppo e nella progressione del glioma. Abbiamo successivamente dimostrato che TRIM8 interagisce con KIFC1 e KIF11/Eg5, due importanti regolatori dell'assemblaggio del fuso mitotico e della riorganizzazione del citoscheletro. Approfondendo lo studio sul ruolo di TRIM8 nel processo mitotico, abbiamo verificato che TRIM8 localizza a livello del fuso mitotico durante la progressione della mitosi e svolge un ruolo chiave nella separazione dei centrosomi all?inizio della divisione mitotica, con un conseguente ritardo nella progressione della mitosi e un impatto sulla stabilit� cromosomica. I nostri risultati confermano il ruolo di TRIM8 nelle funzioni cerebrali attraverso la deregolazione di geni appartenenti al pathway JAK-STAT e coinvolti in diverse funzioni del SNC. Inoltre, abbiamo identificato la funzione fisiologica di TRIM8 nello sviluppo del fuso mitotico, evidenziando un ruolo emergente di TRIM8 nella regolazione della mitosi.
