Subjects: Uncategorized

description: One problem of paramount importance in today’s modern active sensing systems is target parameter estimation, where active sensing is defined as transmitting a signal toward a target of interest and extracting the target’s properties from the returned signal. In this dissertation, we put forward novel approaches to estimate the parameter estimation of both stationary and moving targets using only one-bit sampled data of their respective return signal. One-bit sampling is carried out by continuously comparing the signal of interest to a time-varying threshold, which can be done at very high rates that is required by many modern applications. After careful analysis of the case, we show that the performance of such systems increases with an increase in the length of the transmit sequence, to the point that it reaches the performance of the case of having access to full precision data. The proposed method depicts promising results, which makes application of one-bit sampling in active sensing systems a very suitable replacement for analog to digital converter in numerous modern applications.

description: We present Monte Carlo line transfer models that investigate the effects of dust on the very late time emission line spectra of the core collapse supernovae SN 1980K and SN 1993J and the young core collapse supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. Their blue-shifted emission peaks, resulting from the removal by dust of redshifted photons emitted from the far sides of the remnants, and the presence of extended red emission wings are used to constrain dust compositions and radii and to determine the masses of dust in the remnants. We estimate dust masses of between 0.08 - 0.15 M$_\odot$ for SN 1993J at year 16, 0.12 - 0.30 M$_\odot$ for SN 1980K at year 30 and $\sim$1.1 M$_\odot$ for Cas A at year $\sim$330. Our models for the strong oxygen forbidden lines of Cas A require the overall modelled profiles to be shifted to the red by between 700 - 1000 km s$^{-1}$, consistent with previous estimates for the shift of the dynamical centroid of this remnant.

description: We report on a planar microwave resonator providing arbitrarily polarized oscillating magnetic fields that enable selective excitation of the electronic spins of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. The polarization plane is parallel to the surface of diamond, which makes the resonator fully compatible with (111)-oriented diamond. The field distribution is spatially uniform in a circular area with a diameter of 4 mm, and a near-perfect circular polarization is achieved. We also demonstrate that the original resonance frequency of 2.8 GHz can be varied in the range of 2-3.2 GHz by introducing varactor diodes that serve as variable capacitors.

description: The cuprates and iron-based high-temperature superconductors share many common features: layered strongly anisotropic crystal structure, strong electronic correlations, interplay between different types of electronic ordering, the intrinsic spatial inhomogeneity due to doping. The understanding of complex interplay between these factors is crucial for a directed search of new high-temperature superconductors. Here we show the appearance of inhomogeneous gossamer superconductivity in bulk FeSe compound at ambient pressure and at temperature 5 times higher than its zero-resistance $T_c$. This discovery helps to understand numerous remarkable superconducting properties of FeSe. We also find and prove a general property: if inhomogeneous superconductivity in a anisotropic conductor first appears in the form of isolated superconducting islands, it reduces electric resistivity anisotropically with maximal effect along the least conducting axis. This gives a simple and very general tool to detect inhomogeneous superconductivity in anisotropic compounds, which is critically important to study the onset of high-temperature superconductivity.

description: Deep neural networks need a lot of data to show their full potential in modeling and solving problems. However, in many real-world applications labeling data is expensive or not feasible while abundant unlabeled data is available. Semi-supervised learning has shown to be a successful solution for such scenarios. In this thesis, we introduce semi-supervised algorithms based on neural networks to tackle a couple of problems and applications. We proposed semi-supervised algorithms for three categories of machine learning problems: verification problem, multi-view problems, and fairness. First, we propose two semi-supervised algorithms for verification problem. One of those benefits from auto-encoders and the other one benefits from adversarial training to exploit the unlabeled data and improve the performance of the verification task. Then, we present a multi-view learning algorithm capable of benefiting the cross-view correlation to exploit the structural information of the unlabeled data. In the last work, we propose using unlabeled data, which usually contain less bias than labeled data, to improve the fairness of neural network classifiers.

description: Unraveling general properties of Green's functions of quantum dissipative systems is of both experimental relevance and theoretical interest. Here, we study the spin-boson model as a prototype. By utilizing the Majorana- Fermion representation together with the polaron transformation, we establish a theoretical approach to analyze Green's functions of the spin-boson model. In contrast to conventional perturbation theories either in the tunneling energy or in the system-bath coupling strength, the proposed scheme gives reliable results over wide regimes of the coupling strength, bias, as well as temperature. To demonstrate the utility of the approach, we consider the susceptibility as well as the symmetrized spin correlation function (SSCF) which can be expressed in terms of Green's functions. Thorough investigations are made on systems embedded in Ohmic or sub-Ohmic bosonic baths. We found the so-obtained SSCF is the same as that of the non-interacting blip approximation (NIBA) in unbiased systems while it is applicable for a wider range of temperature in the biased systems compared with the NIBA. We also show that a previous perturbation result is recovered as a weak coupling limit of the so-obtained SSCF. Furthermore, by studying the quantum criticality of the susceptibility, we confirm the validity of the quantum-toclassical mapping in the whole sub-Ohmic regime.

Factors in Support Groups that Promote Positive Self-concept Development of Young Disabled Women

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019

description: Disabled women face many barriers to achieving and maintaining a positive self-concept and have difficulty making important transitions into adult life. Additionally, women with disabilities must negotiate demeaning gender stereotypes. Previous research has shown that support groups help in the development of positive self-views, but little is known about how the group process assists in the development of these positive self-perceptions. This research investigated factors within group support that help disabled women achieve a positive self-concept as well as transition to adulthood. Those factors were explored through individual interviews with 12 women who were members of online and/or in-person disability support groups. Interviews with 11 group coordinators of in-person support groups for disabled women were also conducted. Results revealed that the women encountered discrimination and inaccurate views of disability from multiple sources and internalized the negative perceptions of others. This resulted in a distorted self-perception about their value and capabilities as disabled women and made it difficult for them to be comfortable with themselves. The support group process helped the women recognize the falseness of what they had come to believe and fostered a more accurate and proud self-view. Group support also enabled some women to situate themselves as part of a larger social collective of disabled women. Factors within the support groups that appeared to influence this newfound sense of self included a relational dynamic that was distinctive and supportive, engagement in an attentive sharing process with similar others, and community membership that included a non-hierarchical leadership style. The women reported their support groups provided both tangible resources and emotional support on their journey to adulthood. Group participation prompted some women to shift their focus from societal approved milestones of adulthood to transitional goals that were subjectively important to them. Most group members preferred the online format. It appears that younger women tend not to pursue in-person support. Group members and group coordinators identified barriers to younger women taking part in face-to-face support. However, according to the participants who did take part in in-person groups, the format appeared to yield similar results to the online support groups.

description: The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), a multiplexed fiber-fed spectrograph, is a Stage-IV ground-based dark energy experiment aiming to measure redshifts for 29 million Emission-Line Galaxies (ELG), 4 million Luminous Red Galaxies (LRG), and 2 million Quasi-Stellar Objects (QSO). The survey design includes a pattern of tiling on the sky and the locations of the fiber positioners in the focal plane of the telescope, with the observation strategy determined by a fiber assignment algorithm that optimizes the allocation of fibers to targets. This strategy allows a given region to be covered on average five times for a five-year survey, but with coverage varying between zero and twelve, which imprints a spatially-dependent pattern on the galaxy clustering. We investigate the systematic effects of the fiber assignment coverage on the anisotropic galaxy clustering of ELGs and show that, in the absence of any corrections, it leads to discrepancies of order ten percent on large scales for the power spectrum multipoles. We introduce a method where objects in a random catalog are assigned a coverage, and the mean density is separately computed for each coverage factor. We show that this method reduces, but does not eliminate the effect. We next investigate the angular dependence of the contaminated signal, arguing that it is mostly localized to purely transverse modes. We demonstrate that the cleanest way to remove the contaminating signal is to perform an analysis of the anisotropic power spectrum $P(k,μ)$ and remove the lowest $μ$ bin, leaving $μ>0$ modes accurate at the few-percent level. Here, $μ$ is the cosine of the angle between the line-of-sight and the direction of $\vec{k}$. We also investigate two alternative definitions of the random catalog and show they are comparable but less effective than the coverage randoms method.

description: We study the time irreversibility of the direct cascade in two-dimensional turbulence by looking at the time derivative of the square vorticity along Lagrangian trajectories, a quantity which we call metenstrophy. By means of extensive numerical simulations we measure the time irreversibility from the asymmetry of the PDF of the metenstrophy and we find that it increases with the Reynolds number of the cascade, similarly to what found in three-dimensional turbulence. A detailed analysis of the different contributions to the enstrophy budget reveals a remarkable difference with respect to what observed for the direct cascade, in particular the role of the statistics of the forcing to determine the degree of irreversibility.

Impact of FDA's Unapproved Drug Initiative on Drug Prices, Utilization and Outcomes: Focus on Colchicine
Creators: name: Sharma, Dolly
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The FDA launched the Unapproved Drug Initiative in 2006, to remove unapproved drugs from the market. Under this initiative, various enforcement actions were taken against these drugs to remove them from the market. The initiative also gave an opportunity to manufacturers that if they conducted necessary studies and filed an NDA to obtain FDA-approval for their previously unapproved drug, then they will be granted with a limited market exclusivity during which other companies must cease manufacturing that drug within a certain grace period. The goal of this papers-based dissertation was to study the consequences of the FDA-UDI with a focus on colchicine. Three studies were developed to meet the research objectives. The aim of first study was to measure the impact of FDA-UDI on aggregate trends in prices, sales and quantities sold for drug products that obtained voluntary approval under this initiative. The second study evaluated the effect of market exclusivity and an associated price increase of approved colchicine on prophylactic colchicine initiation, adherence, gout-related healthcare resource utilization, and costs in patients with gout. Finally, the third study assessed the impact of the new labeling and prescribing information of single source of approved colchicine on potential colchicine interactions in patients taking colchicine. Overall, a marked increase was seen in post-approval prices and sales for most drug products approved in the FDA-UDI with mixed results in changes in units sold. In case of colchicine, it’s price increase reduced its initiation, but did not significantly impact adherence despite increased patient spending on colchicine. The availability of new labeling information of approved colchicine and removal of all unapproved colchicine from the market did not have an impact on potential colchicine interactions. In addition to increased information on safety, the policy's impact on post approval drug prices and associated effects on units sold should be considered in assessing the policy, especially when substantial price increases and decreases in units sold may negatively impact health. Policymakers should consider reforms for better dissemination of safety information to ensure safe use of drugs. Future studies should analyze the impact on other products impacted by this initiative.

description: The collection $\frk{C}_3$ of all triples of commuting contractions forms a family in the sense of Agler, and so has an "optimal" model $\pd\frk{C}_3$ generated by its extremal elements. A given $T\in\frk{C}_3$ is extremal if every $X\in\frk{C}_3$ extending $T$ is an extension by direct sum. We show that many of the known examples of triples in $\frk{C}_3$ that fail to have coisometric extensions are in fact extremal.

description: It is well known that electron beams accelerated in solar flares can drive two-stream instability and produce radio bursts in the solar corona as well as in the interplanetary medium. Recent observations show that the solar wind likely originates from nanoflare-like events near the surface of the Sun where locally heated plasma escapes along open field lines into space. Recent numerical simulations and theoretical studies show that electron two-stream instability (ETSI) driven by nanoflare-accelerated electron beams can produce the observed nanoflare-type radio bursts, the non-Maxwellian electron velocity distribution function of the solar wind, and the kinetic scale turbulence in solar wind. This brief review focus on the basic theoretical framework and recent progress in the nonlinear evolution of ETSI, including the formation of electron holes, Langmuir wave generation in warm plasma, and the nonlinear modulation instability and Langmuir collapse. Potential applications in heliophysics and astrophysics are discussed.

An Analysis of Global Curatorial Methods The Emergence and Crystallization of Istanbul Biennials
Creators: name: Pinar Uner Uner Yilmaz
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation investigates the emergence and the early history of Istanbul Biennials and interrogates the role of the curator in these recurring exhibitions. Surveying the first four Istanbul Biennials and comparing them to the fourteenth edition, it studies how this role has changed from 1987 to 2015. Biennials are platforms for cross-cultural exchange, yet at the same time, questionable tools for the standardization of art. This study scrutinizes how different curatorial models adopted in Istanbul Biennials shaped the cultural and artistic production in Turkey, and produced a representation of Istanbul as a global cultural center. To do so, I study the Biennials from three related perspectives. First, I review catalog texts, correspondence materials, and interviews with the curators to analyze the conceptual framework of each biennial. Secondly, I focus on the floor plans and installation photographs in order to investigate how curators utilized the exhibition venues and how artists responded to these venues (which are often Istanbul’s historical spaces) in their work. Finally, I survey the organizational structure of these biennials and compare the curatorial methods and forms of correspondence of the curators. For each biennial, I discuss the ways in which curators described their practice and I compare these practices to the curatorial methods of the prominent large-scale exhibitions around the world. Surveying diachronically the theoretical framework, the venues, and the curatorial methods, this dissertation critically traces the effects of globalization in contemporary art and cultural politics in Turkey and exposes the particular ways in which biennials mark the decentralization or pluralization of the Euro-American art world system.

description: In what has been described as the fourth age of Quantum Chemistry, variational nuclear motion programs are now routinely being used to obtain the vibration-rotation levels and corresponding wavefunctions of small molecules to the sort of high accuracy demanded by comparison with spectroscopy. In this perspective I will discuss the current state-of-the-art which, for example, shows that these calculations are increasingly competitive with measurements or, indeed, replacing them and thus becoming the primary source of data on key processes. To achieve this accuracy {\it ab initio} requires consideration small effects, routinely ignored in standard calculations, such those due to quantum electrodynamics (QED). Variational calculations are being used to generate huge list of transitions which provide the input for models of radiative transport through hot atmospheres and to fill in or even replace measured transition intensities. Future prospects such as study of molecular states near dissociation, which can provide a link with low-energy chemical reactions, are discussed.

description: The advent of the Next Generation Sequencing produced an explosion in the amount of genomic data generated, which resulted in the birth and early development of personalized medicine. In order to boost the research in this field, new bioinformatic tool are needed, which can keep up with the pace of NGS technologies. In this scenario, the aim of this thesis is the design and the implementation of an efficient, easy-to-use short sequence mapper, to be used in various bioinformatic applications. At the core of the proposed tool there is an efficient implementation of a succinct data structure, allowing to compress the genomic data while still providing efficient queries on them. A com- prehensive description of the data encoding scheme is presented in this work, together with the characterization of the proposed data structure in terms of memory utilization and execution time. The resulting sequence mapper is made available through an intuitive web application that guarantees high usability and provides great user experience. Moreover this thesis presents the design of an easily accessible hybrid sequence aligner, leveraging the compression capability of the proposed data structure to fully exploit the highly parallel architecture of FPGAs. A validation of the presented software will be presented, in order to test the reliability of the results it produces. Finally, some consideration about future developments of this project will be proposed.

I briefly review some thermodynamic and baryon transport results obtained from a bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton holographic model engineered to describe the physics of the quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and baryon density. The results for the equation of state, baryon susceptibilities, and the curvature of the crossover band are in quantitative agreement with the corresponding lattice QCD results with $2+1$ flavors and physical quark masses. Baryon diffusion is predicted to be suppressed by increasing the baryon chemical potential.

description: Manipulate and control of spin wave and spin flip are crucial for future developments of magnonic and spintronic devices. We present that the spin wave in hexagonal LuMnO3 single crystal can be selectively excited with laser polarization perpendicular to the c-axis of hexagonal LuMnO3 and photon energy ~ 1.8 eV. The selective excitation of spin wave also suggests that the spin flip can be selectively controlled in hexagonal manganites. In addition, the physical origin of spin wave correlated with spin flip in hexagonal manganites is discussed.

Targeted Delivery of Extracellular Vesicles, a Tool to Promote Remyelination

description: Demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to devastating neurological disorders in patients with demyelinating neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Krabbe disease. Developing a method to induce remyelination will help the CNS recover from damages caused by demyelination. The physiological remyelination that normally occurs in CNS is flawed in patients with MS. Our goal is to develop a method by which regulatory molecules can be delivered to cells that can contribute to remyelination. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by most cells and may serve as delivery vehicles for biological therapeutic molecules. We envision that therapeutic or regulatory molecules could then be delivered via EVs to cells involved in remyelination. We successfully modified EVs in order to enhance their cell selectivity in the central nervous system. We were able to track vesicles in vitro and confirm the introduced modifications via biochemical methods. In future steps, we intend to measure the efficacy of our modified EVs in binding and uptake by cells in the central nervous system in vitro as well as in vivo. Eventually, we plan to use this new tool to improve remyelination in demyelination mouse models.

description: The gain-loss asymmetry, observed in the inverse statistics of stock indices is present for logarithmic return levels that are over $2\%$, and it is the result of the non-Pearson type auto-correlations in the index. These non-Pearson type correlations can be viewed also as functionally dependent daily volatilities, extending for a finite time interval. A generalized time-window shuffling method is used to show the existence of such auto-correlations. Their characteristic time-scale proves to be smaller (less than $25$ trading days) than what was previously believed. It is also found that this characteristic time-scale has decreased with the appearance of program trading in the stock market transactions. Connections with the leverage effect are also established.

description: We present a systematic investigation of the special twist method introduced by Rajagopal $\textit{et al.}$ [ Phys. Rev. B 51, 10591 (1995) ] for reducing finite-size effects in correlated calculations of periodic extended systems with Coulomb interactions and Fermi statistics. We propose a procedure for finding special twist values which, at variance with previous applications of this method, reproduce the energy of the mean-field infinite-size limit solution within an adjustable (arbitrarily small) numerical error. This choice of the special twist is shown to be the most accurate single-twist solution for curing one-body finite-size effects in correlated calculations. For these reasons we dubbed our procedure "exact special twist" (EST). EST only needs a fully converged independent-particles or mean-field calculation within the primitive cell and a simple fit to find the special twist along a specific direction in the Brillouin zone. We first assess the performances of EST in a simple correlated model such as the 3D electron gas. Afterwards, we test its efficiency within $\textit{ab initio}$ quantum Monte Carlo simulations of metallic elements of increasing complexity. We show that EST displays an overall good performance in reducing finite-size errors comparable to the widely used twist average technique but at a much lower computational cost, since it involves the evaluation of just one wavefunction. We also demonstrate that the EST method shows similar performances in the calculation of correlation functions, such as the ionic forces for structural relaxation and the pair radial distribution function in liquid hydrogen. Our conclusions point to the usefulness of EST for correlated supercell calculations, our method will be particularly relevant when the physical problem under consideration requires large periodic cells.

description: Genome maintenance systems detect and resolve DNA damage, and prevent mutations that can lead to cancer. The role of tumor suppressor p53, a transcription factor that regulates cellular responses to stress and DNA damage, is central in maintaining genomic stability. TP53 gene is often mutated in human tumors and identifying strategies for targeting tumors carrying p53 mutations will allow us to selectively target those tumors. We collaborated with the Resnick lab at NIEHS to identify gene knockdowns that enhance sensitivity to etoposide in p53 deficient background. The Resnick lab performed a siRNA based genetic screen and identified gene knockdowns that synergized with p53 mutations to enhance sensitivity to etoposide. Using ICE (in-vivo complexes of enzyme) bioassay to measure levels of Top2cc, we assessed the role of p53 in repair of etoposide-induced DNA-Topoisomerase 2 covalent complexes (Top2cc). We found that p53 deficient cell lines generate elevated levels of Top2cc. Checkpoint kinase ATR, a top candidate identified in the Resnick screen, also appears to regulate Top2cc repair. We also examined other genome maintenance factors that may affect repair of Top2cc. One such factor is non-replicative DNA polymerase β (Polβ). Polβ is a single strand break repair protein that is often overexpressed in cancer. We hypothesized that Polβ plays a role in repair of Top2cc induced by anticancer drugs. Using a Polβ inhibitor and cell lines deficient in Polβ, we demonstrated a role for Polβ in repair of Top2cc. We also demonstrated that the dRP lyase but not the DNA polymerase activity of Polβ is important for this role. Taken together, our results shed light on contributions of genome maintenance factors in repair of Top2cc and increases our understanding about how Top2cc are repaired. This information may provide new approaches for using Top2 targeting drugs in cancer chemotherapy.

description: The two primary causal dimensions of age-related disease are rate and function. Change in rate of disease development shifts the age of onset. Change in physiological function provides necessary steps in disease progression. A causal factor may alter the rate of physiological change, but that causal factor itself may have no direct physiological role. Alternatively, a causal factor may provide a necessary physiological function, but that causal factor itself may not alter the rate of disease onset. The rate-function duality provides the basis for solving puzzles of age-related disease. Causal factors of cancer illustrate the duality between rate processes of discovery, such as somatic mutation, and necessary physiological functions, such as invasive penetration across tissue barriers. Examples from cancer suggest general principles of age-related disease.

description: Background Transdisciplinary research and knowledge translation are increasingly regarded as key concepts underpinning applied research across the health and social sciences, due to their presumed potential in addressing complex, “wicked” problems and improving the use of research in practice and policy, respectively. Despite sharing an impact mandate, the relationship between transdisciplinary research collaboration and knowledge translation remains unclear. In response, we examined the relationship between transdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge translation to generate these understandings with a view towards maximizing the impact of collaborative efforts. Methods We undertook a realist evaluation and longitudinal case study of a 5-year National Health and Medical Research Council-funded Centre of Research Excellence in Transdisciplinary Frailty Research. Data were collected between February 2017 and March 2020 over three rounds of theory development, refinement and testing using interviews, observation, document review and visual elicitation as data sources. The Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of Adelaide approved this study. Results Iterative analysis of narrative interviews and visual data led to the development of three overarching programme theories explicating the reciprocal relationship between KT understandings and transdisciplinary team process. These programme theories revolve around the concept of a network, which we define in alignment with extant theoretical literature on network mechanisms and complex networks as graphically representable networks of agents/people (nodes) joined by social relationships (links). Our findings demonstrate that under the right contextual conditions, transdisciplinary team members respond through an improved ability to (1) navigate the network, (2) negotiate the network and (3) mobilize the network. Conclusions This research demonstrates the reciprocity and mutually supportive relationship between transdisciplinary research and knowledge translation. Our findings suggest that embedding a collaborative knowledge translation framework and providing resources such as facilitation and distributed leadership within a transdisciplinary team can improve collaboration and support transdisciplinary research objectives.

description: CERN-LHC. A search for new phenomena in final states characterized by high jet multiplicity, an isolated lepton (electron or muon) and either zero or at least three b-tagged jets is presented. The search uses 36.1 fb-1 of sqrt(s) = 13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016. The dominant sources of background are estimated using parameterized extrapolations, based on observables at medium jet multiplicity, to predict the b-tagged jet multiplicity distribution at the higher jet multiplicities used in the search. No significant excess over the Standard Model expectation is observed and 95% confidence-level limits are extracted constraining four simplified models of R-parity-violating supersymmetry that feature either gluino or top-squark pair production. The exclusion limits reach as high as 2.1 TeV in gluino mass and 1.2 TeV in top-squark mass in the models considered. In addition, an upper limit is set on the cross-section for Standard Model tttt production of 60 fb (6.5 times the Standard Model prediction) at 95% confidence level. Finally, model-independent limits are set on the contribution from new phenomena to the signal-region yields.
