description: Typical machine learning regression applications aim to report the mean or the median of the predictive probability distribution, via training with a squared or an absolute error scoring function. The importance of issuing predictions of more functionals of the predictive probability distribution (quantiles and expectiles) has been recognized as a means to quantify the uncertainty of the prediction. In deep learning (DL) applications, that is possible through quantile and expectile regression neural networks (QRNN and ERNN respectively). Here we introduce deep Huber quantile regression networks (DHQRN) that nest QRNN and ERNN as edge cases. DHQRN can predict Huber quantiles, which are more general functionals in the sense that they nest quantiles and expectiles as limiting cases. The main idea is to train a DL algorithm with the Huber quantile scoring function, which is consistent for the Huber quantile functional. As a proof of concept, DHQRN are applied to predict house prices in Melbourne, Australia and Boston, United States (US). In this context, predictive performances of three DL architectures are discussed along with evidential interpretation of results from two economic case studies. Additional simulation experiments and applications to real-world case studies using open datasets demonstrate a satisfactory absolute performance of DHQRN.

description: A 2009 article of Allcock and Vaaler examined the vector space $\mathcal G := \overline{\mathbb Q}^\times/\overline{\mathbb Q}^\times_{\mathrm{tors}}$ over $\mathbb Q$, describing its completion with respect to the Weil height as a certain $L^1$ space. By involving an object called a consistent map, the author began efforts to establish Riesz-type representation theorems for the duals of spaces related to $\mathcal G$. Specifically, we provided such results for the algebraic and continuous duals of $\overline{\mathbb Q}^\times/{\overline{\mathbb Z}}^\times$. In the present article, we use consistent maps to provide representation theorems for the duals of locally constant function spaces on the places of $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ that arise in the work of Allcock and Vaaler. We further apply our new results to recover, as a corollary, a main theorem of our previous work.

description: The Research Data Working Group of the Digital Scientific Library (BSN10) launched in 2015 an inventory of French research data management services, which will be referenced in the future online catalog Cat OPIDoR. This initiative echoes the national and international political context, in which governments and funding agencies gradually implement open science policy frameworks, whereas research activities are also altered by the ubiquity of data and the computing capacities to generate, mine and distribute them. It aims to help research teams to identify services most able to provide them appropriate data management support and to inform political stakeholders about where resources investment is needed.

description: Alcohol-facilitated sexual activities or sexual violence pose various risks to underage individuals, who are often in the unique transitional period navigating new living environments such as college campuses. Within this context, women are especially concerned, given that media portrayals often reinforce the sexual objectification and dehumanization of women. This study investigated the influence of alcohol imagery on young adults' sex-related alcohol expectancies, focusing on the viewers' perceptions of the alcohol images featuring women, women's wishful identification with the models, and men's desirability toward the models. A posttest-only 2×2 (sexualization [highly sexualized/barely sexualized]; age [perceived as under 21/over 21] experiment was conducted online with 306 participants aged between 18 and 20. Results indicated that mere exposure was not significantly associated with sex-related alcohol expectancies, except for men's expectancies that alcohol would lower inhibition. For women, perceptions of the models and the images, along with their wishful identification with the models, were associated with expectancies linking alcohol with sexual activity. Men's expectancies, however, were primarily associated with their desirability toward the models, with one exception. This study extends existing research by delving beyond mere exposure to explore the viewers' perceptions of alcohol imagery and how they are associated with sex-related alcohol expectancies.

description: The introduction of a honey bee subspecies A.m. pomonella, described from the Tien Shan mountains of central Asia (Sheppard and Meixner 2003) is a potential source of novel characteristics/traits and alleles for domestic US honey bee populations. Selective breeding, propagation and distribution of honey bee queens plays an important role in sustaining beekeeping and pollination-dependent agriculture in the US. Accessing genetic diversity is critical for the success of honey bee breeding. Several factors have contributed to limit genetic diversity in US honey bee populations, including importation of only a portion of recognized Old World subspecies, reduction of commercial and feral honey bee populations due to the parasitic mite V. destructor, and queen breeding practices that rely on only a limited number of queen "mothers". This project focused on the introduction of A.m. pomonella, a cold-climate adapted honey bee originating in the wild apple forests of the Tien Shan Mountains and represents a starting point for a breeding initiative to establish a new strain in the US.

description: A $q$-bic hypersurface is a hypersurface in projective space of degree $q+1$, where $q$ is a power of the positive ground field characteristic, whose equation consists of monomials which are products of a $q$-power and a linear power; the Fermat hypersurface is an example. I identify $q$-bics as moduli spaces of isotropic vectors for an intrinsically defined bilinear form, and use this to study their Fano schemes of linear spaces. Amongst other things, I prove that the scheme of $m$-planes in a smooth $(2m+1)$-dimensional $q$-bic hypersurface is an $(m+1)$-dimensional smooth projective variety of general type which admits a purely inseparable covering by a complete intersection; I compute its Betti numbers by relating it to Deligne--Lusztig varieties for the finite unitary group; and I prove that its Albanese variety is purely inseparably isogenous via an Abel--Jacobi map to a certain conjectural intermediate Jacobian of the hypersurface. The case $m = 1$ may be viewed as an analogue of results of Clemens and Griffiths regarding cubic threefolds.

A framework for training Spiking Neural Networks using Evolutionary Algorithms and Deep Reinforcement Learning

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Evolutionary computation

description: In this work two novel frameworks, one using evolutionary algorithms and another using Reinforcement Learning for training Spiking Neural Networks are proposed and analyzed. A novel multi-agent evolutionary robotics (ER) based framework, inspired by competitive evolutionary environments in nature, is demonstrated for training Spiking Neural Networks (SNN). The weights of a population of SNNs along with morphological parameters of bots they control in the ER environment are treated as phenotypes. Rules of the framework select certain bots and their SNNs for reproduction and others for elimination based on their efficacy in capturing food in a competitive environment. While the bots and their SNNs are given no explicit reward to survive or reproduce via any loss function, these drives emerge implicitly as they evolve to hunt food and survive within these rules. Their efficiency in capturing food as a function of generations exhibit the evolutionary signature of punctuated equilibria. Two evolutionary inheritance algorithms on the phenotypes, Mutation and Crossover with Mutation along with their variants, are demonstrated. Performances of these algorithms are compared using ensembles of 100 experiments for each algorithm. We find that one of the Crossover with Mutation variants promotes 40% faster learning in the SNN than mere Mutation with a statistically significant margin. Along with an evolutionary approach to training SNNs, we also describe a novel Reinforcement Learning(RL) based framework using the Proximal Policy Optimization to train a SNN for an image classification task. The experiments and results of the framework are then discussed highlighting future direction of the work.
Le contact des langues et la traduction littéraire :  Des interférences entre le français et l'arabe

description: Le contact linguistique est l'interaction de deux ou plusieurs systèmes linguistiques. La recherche sur le contact linguistique examine les conséquences potentielles de cette interaction sur les modèles d'utilisation et sur la structure de la langue. Puisque le contact implique des facteurs externes au système linguistique (dans la compréhension classique du terme « système »), le contact linguistique a initialement été associé principalement aux programmes de recherche en sociolinguistique. Cependant, depuis la fin des années 1970, on observe un intérêt croissant pour le contact linguistique également en psycholinguistique, en linguistique historique et en typologie linguistique. Les aspects sociétaux et individuels du contact linguistique - ceux qui concernent les choix que les locuteurs font parmi les répertoires linguistiques - sont souvent abordés sous les titres « bilinguisme » ou « multilinguisme ». À travers cet article, nous visons à établir un cadre théorique pour le concept du contact linguistique en traduction et à déterminer ses caractéristiques. Nous aborderons également le concept de résistance aux contacts linguistiques dans la traduction en l’expliquant, en mentionnant les facteurs contributifs et en passant en revue les expériences des chercheurs arabes et occidentaux à cet égard. En effet, le contact des langues requiert le suivi et le respect des modèles de la langue dans laquelle la traduction est effectuée, y compris les éléments lexicaux, grammaticaux, orthographiques, sémantiques, culturels et même cinétiques lors de la traduction d’un texte d’une langue vers une autre. Cela repose sur le fait qu’une langue ne correspond pas à une autre sous tous les aspects. C’est dans ce sens où les qualifications du traducteur, la résistance à l’autorité de la source, la prise en compte de l’aspect communicatif et des différences culturelles de chaque langue sont les piliers les plus importants sur lesquels repose la résistance aux contacts dans la traduction.

Subjects: subject: Piracy, counter-forensics, intellectual property, copyleft, posthumanism, illegalism, critical theory

description: This project is a study of free data dissemination and impediments to it. Drawing upon post-structuralism, Actor Network Theory, Participatory Action Research, and theories of the political stakes of the posthuman by way of Stirnerian egoism and illegalism, the project uses a number of theoretical, technical and legal texts to develop a hacker methodology that emphasizes close analysis and disassembly of existent systems of content control. Specifically, two tiers of content control mechanisms are examined: a legal tier, as exemplified by Intellectual Property Rights in the form of copyright and copyleft licenses, and a technical tier in the form of audio, video and text-based watermarking technologies. 

A series of demonstrative case studies are conducted to further highlight various means of content distribution restriction. A close reading of a copyright notice is performed in order to examine its internal contradictions. Examples of watermarking employed by academic e-book and journal publishers and film distributors are also examined and counter-forensic techniques for removing such watermarks are developed. The project finds that both legal and technical mechanisms for restricting the flow of content can be countervailed, which in turn leads to the development of different control mechanisms and in turn engenders another wave of evasion procedures. The undertaken methodological approach thus leads to the discovery of on-going mutation and adaptation of in-between states of resistance. 

Finally, an analysis of various existent filesharing applications is performed, and a new Tor-based BitTorrent tracker is set up to strengthen the anonymization of established filesharing methods. It is found that there exist potential de-anonymization attacks against all analyzed file-sharing tools, with potentially more secure filesharing options also seeing less user adoption.
title: Time and Affect in Talk about ‘Student Experience’ of Higher Education

Subjects: subject: Higher Education, Student Experience, Time, Affect, Focus Groups, Mapping, Sociology

description: This is a qualitative exploratory study that uses focus groups and arts-based research to examine students’ talk about their experiences at one higher education institution (HEI) in London, UK.  The study investigates the development and impact of a market-driven approach to HEIs including social policy discourses and measures of student experience, such as the National Student Survey (NSS). These constructions of student experience are examined with regard to narrative accounts given by undergraduate and postgraduate students of their everyday lives within the study university.

Drawing from critical feminist scholarship into experience and adopting a relational approach and a psychosocial view of the self, this thesis proposes alternative temporal and affective understandings of student lives that are frequently marginalised within the market-driven discourse of higher education.  The thesis describes how the differential and changing identities of students have consequences for their day-to-day lives and relationships in ways that are not captured by neo-liberal appraisals and metrics.

The findings of the thesis contribute to sociological knowledge and debates on student experience by bringing into dialogue market-driven discourses and other fields of knowledge, such as student mental health research that constitutes a frequently marginalised facet of student life.  The discussion contends that student ‘satisfaction’ does not necessarily equate with student or educational well-being and this conclusion has wider implications for the ways in which student experience is recognised and assessed.
PRACTICAL CLOUD COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Networking and communications
Operating systems

description: Cloud and parallel computing are fundamental components in the processing of large data sets. Deployments of distributed computers require network infrastructure that is fast, efficient, and secure. Software Defined Networking (SDN) separates the forwarding of network data by switches (data plane) from the setting and managing of network policies (control plane). While this separation provides flexibility for setting network policies affecting the establishment of network flows in the data plane, it provides little to no fault tolerance for failures, either benign or caused by corrupted/malicious applications. Such failures can cause network flows to be incorrectly routed through the network or stop such flows altogether. Without protection against faults, cloud network providers using SDN run the risk of inefficient allocation of network resources or even data loss. Furthermore, the asynchronous nature existing protocols for SDN does not provide a mechanism for consistency in network policy updates across multiple switches.In addition, cloud and parallel applications require an efficient means for accessing local system data (input data sets, temporary storage locations, etc.). While in many cases it may be possible for a process to access this data by making calls directly to a file system (FS) kernel driver, this is not always possible (e.g. when using experimental distributed FSs where the needed libraries for accessing the FS only exist in user space).This dissertation provides a design for fault tolerance of SDN and infrastructure for advancing the performance of user space FSs. It is divided into three main parts. The first part describes a fault tolerant, distributed SDN control plane framework. The second part expands upon the fault tolerant approach to SDN control plane by providing a practical means for dynamic control plane membership as well as providing a simple mechanism for controller authentication through threshold signatures. The third part describes an efficient framework for user space FS access.This research makes three contributions. First, the design, specification, implementation, and evaluation of a method for fault tolerant SDN control plane that is inter-operable with existing control plane applications involving minimal instrumentation of the data plane runtime. Second, the design, specification, implementation and evaluation of a mechanism for dynamic SDN control plane membership that all ensure consistency of network policy updates and minimizes switch overhead through the use of distributed key generation and threshold signatures. Third, the design, specification, implementation, and evaluation of a user space FS access framework that is correct to the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) specification with significantly better performance over existing user space access methods, while requiring no implementation changes for application programmers.

description: This thesis examines the impact of Turkey-EU relations on Turkey's domestic political evolution in the 1990s and 2000s, with a focus on the evolution of the religious political parties, the changing position of the military and Turkey’s new energy politics. 

Although Turkey-EU relations resemble non-progressive affairs to many, in reality, they are as productive as any other relations that have resulted in the expected goal. Both Turkey and the EU made significant gains from this long lasting relationship. However, this thesis focuses more on the impact of these relations on Turkey. While engaging with the EU, Turkish domestic politics underwent a major evolution especially concerning the religiously motivated political parties; they were founded on anti-Western and pro-Islamic principles. However their attempt to come to power was continuously prevented by the secular forces, most importantly the army. In 2000s, realizing the importance of Europeanisation to help avoid the military’s intimidation, they became the real champions of Westernisation, contrary to their founding principles. Under Erdoğan’s leadership they started the accession negotiations with the EU. 

While Islamic political thinking was evolving, the position of the Turkish Armed Forces, who, directly or indirectly, drove Turkish politics since the 1960s, was also changing in favour of civilian control. Thanks to the EU initiated reform programs which were implemented by the religiously rooted JDP after 2002, the Turkish army’s heavy presence in civilian politics was reduced almost to zero. 

Again, close relations with the EU encouraged Turkey to become proactive within Eurasian energy politics. As well as the good relations with the West, Turkey also started utilizing its geostrategic positioning by trying to become the energy bridge, and perhaps energy hub, between the energy producers on its eastern borders with energy hungry Europe on its western borders.
Attentional Control and Inhibitory Capacity in Social Anxiety and Controls and as Predictors of Treatment
Creators: name: Macdonald-Gagnon, Grace
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2025

description: Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a prevalent disorder marked by distress and/or avoidance regarding situations that involve potential scrutiny by others. While psychotherapy (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive therapy (ST)) can reduce the burden of SAD, symptom improvement is unpredictably varied and a substantial portion experience excessive social anxiety following treatment. Research indicates poor attentional control (AC) and inhibitory abnormalities play a role in SAD and as such they may serve as predictors of treatment outcome. This secondary data analysis examined baseline differences in subjective attentional control, via the Attentional Control Scale (ACS), and task-based inhibitory capacity, measured via an affective go/no-go task, between SAD and a healthy control comparator group via linear multiple regressions with ACS score and false alarms as the dependent variables (DVs) and Diagnostic Group (SAD vs HC) and Age as independent variables (IVs). Additionally, the study evaluated whether pre-treatment subjective attentional control and inhibitory capacity predicted improvement in social anxiety symptoms via linear multiple regression where a percent change score of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) from baseline and 12-week timepoint after completion of psychotherapy as the IV and ACS score, total false alarms, Age, Gender, and baseline LSAS score as the DVs. Linear multiple regression results revealed that diagnostic group (HC vs SAD) was associated with ACS score, β = -14.96, SE = 1.18, p < 0.001, suggesting that the SAD group had poorer self-reported AC. There were no significant associations at baseline between diagnosis and go/no-go false alarms. Additionally, neither baseline ACS score or false alarms acted as a significant predictor of treatment outcome. As hypothesized, there were differences between HC and individuals with SAD such that those with SAD had lower self-reported attentional control. Future research should further explore the relationship between AC and SAD. Additionally, there does not appear to be a deficiency in inhibitory capacity, which should be replicated with additional research. Regarding treatment outcome, neither self-reported AC or go/no-go false alarms emerged as predictors of psychotherapy symptom change. Thus, additional studies are warranted to understand the role of attentional control and inhibitory capacity as predictors of treatment.
Electrocochleography Measures from the Ear Canal of Awake Chinchillas

description: Disabling hearing loss is a problem around the world, with the World Health Organization estimating that 466 million people worldwide have disabling loss, and that this number is expected to increase to over 900 million people by 2050. There are different types of hearing loss, but sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common and results from damage to the inner ear. The audiogram is the most common test used to diagnose hearing loss, but it is limited in that it can only identify a shift in hearing sensitivity (thresholds), i.e., it cannot identify the cochlear location causing SNHL. The electrocochleogram (ECochG) is an evoked response consisting of several summed responses of electrical potentials from within the inner ear. Several components represent activity from different places in the inner ear: the compound action potential (CAP) is the summed onset response of auditory nerve fibers, the cochlear microphonic (CM) is the AC response of the hair cells (primarily outer hair cells), and the summating potential (SP) is the DC hair cell response (primarily inner hair cells). Most ECochG responses in humans are collected non-invasively (e.g., from the ear canal or ear drum), whereas most ECochG responses in animal models are collected invasively (e.g., from the cochlear round window).
In this project, we aimed to bridge this gap by recording non-invasive ECochG responses from awake chinchillas. We first started by calculating standard ECochG metrics from existing data across different forms of SNHL. Next, we tested the feasibility of recording non-invasive ECochG responses from the ear canals of awake chinchillas. Finally, we defined and calculated additional metrics from ECochG responses to further help in identifying location(s) of SNHL. The ability demonstrated here to record non-invasive ECochG responses from awake animals increases the translational applicability of pre-clinical SNHL animal models by permitting detailed cochlear assessments at multiple time points post exposure. Detailed ECochG measures can advance hearing science and audiology by helping to identify the location of damage causing the hearing loss, which can ultimately allow for more individualized treatment.
title: A Spectatorship-based Approach to Undoing Blindness Stereotypes in Documentary Practice

Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

Subjects: subject: Documentary, Spectatorship, Cognitive theory, Everyday, Alterity, Materiality, Disability, Blindness, Practice, Stereotypes

description: The research is presented as an audio-visual thesis, consisting of a 62,000-word thesis and two documentary film artefacts (forty-five and forty-eight minutes, respectively). The equal ratio of theory and practice symbiotically combines the background research, written analysis and practical experimentation.
The portrayal of blind people in Western media largely conforms to stereotypical representations that oscillate between two poles: either as unfortunate, disabled and deprived, or exotic, mysterious and in touch with the supernatural. This ‘othering’ of blindness in documentaries is the symptom and partial cause of socio-cultural stigmatisation and ‘ableist’ hegemony. 

Challenging this hegemony, the thesis proposes the adoption of a spectatorship-based approach to film practice. It first identifies a range of stereotypes in mainstream documentaries, revealing the overwhelming use of formulaic narratives that foreground either tragic or heroic, goal-oriented plot trajectories, and stylistic devices that objectify blind characters. These insights frame the making of my own documentary films about two blind people. The aim is the mediation of everyday experience from the characters’ own perspective, with the result that the spectator experiences them as ordinary people, performing ordinary activities, albeit with extraordinary bodies. The films focus on everyday objects and spaces, and use narrative fragmentation to elicit a temporal sense of ‘everydayness’. The methodology operates on two levels of filmic mediation: the pre-filmic, comprising my first-person encounters with the subjects, and the post-filmic that addresses the mediation of pre-filmic experience to the audience via the film. The pre-filmic level makes use of phenomenological methods; the post-filmic implements a range of methods adapted from cognitive film studies. This spectatorship-focused model offers a new way of representing and communicating the ordinary ‘everyday’ of the two blind characters, undoing the stereotypes that consistently ‘other’ members of this community.
Estimation of the Number Needed to Treat, the Number Needed to be Exposed, and the Exposure Impact Number with Instrumental Variables

description: The Number needed to treat (NNT) is an efficacy index defined as the average number of patients needed to treat to attain one additional treatment benefit. In observational studies, specifically in epidemiology, the adequacy of the populationwise NNT is questionable since the exposed group characteristics may substantially differ from the unexposed. To address this issue, groupwise efficacy indices were defined: the Exposure Impact Number (EIN) for the exposed group and the Number Needed to be Exposed (NNE) for the unexposed. Each defined index answers a unique research question since it targets a unique sub-population. In observational studies, the group allocation is typically affected by confounders that might be unmeasured. The available estimation methods that rely either on randomization or the sufficiency of the measured covariates for confounding control will result in inconsistent estimators of the true NNT (EIN, NNE) in such settings. Using Rubin's potential outcomes framework, we explicitly define the NNT and its derived indices as causal contrasts. Next, we introduce a novel method that uses instrumental variables to estimate the three aforementioned indices in observational studies. We present two analytical examples and a corresponding simulation study. The simulation study illustrates that the novel estimators are statistically consistent, unlike the previously available methods, and their analytical confidence intervals' empirical coverage rates converge to their nominal values. Finally, a real-world data example of an analysis of the effect of vitamin D deficiency on the mortality rate is presented.

AUTOMATIC CONTENT ANALYSIS AND BINARY CHARACTERISTICS DETECTION OF DREAMS
Creators: name: Zheng, Xiaofang
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Psychological methodology, design and analysis

description: For dream content analysis, automatic quantitative analysis techniques not only can be faster than traditional hand-coding, but also be lower in coding errors and bias caused by humans. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC, Pennebaker, Boyd, Jordan, & Blackburn, 2015) is an automatic technique possibly useful for dream research. We tested the suitability of LIWC for dream content analysis by comparing results by LIWC and Hall Van de Castle coding system (HVdC, Hall & Van de Castle, 1966) using canonical correlation analysis. Moreover, we analyzed the consistencies and inconsistencies between dreaming and waking by comparing the word frequencies in reports. Last, we introduced machine learning techniques to dream research and built support vector machines to achieve the binary characteristics detection of dreamers (e.g., female or male, blind or sighted, waking activity or dream) based on dream content. Our theoretical and methodological contributions to dream research would not only deepen people’s understanding about dreams but also introduce new methods for scientific research on dreams.
X-ray/UVOIR Frequency-resolved Time Lag Analysis of Mrk 335 Reveals Accretion Disk Reprocessing

description: UV and optical continuum reverberation mapping is powerful for probing the accretion disk and inner broad-line region. However, recent reverberation mapping campaigns in the X-ray, UV, and optical have found lags consistently longer than those expected from the standard disk reprocessing picture. The largest discrepancy to-date was recently reported in Mrk 335, where UV/optical lags are up to 12 times longer than expected. Here, we perform a frequency-resolved time lag analysis of Mrk 335, using Gaussian processes to account for irregular sampling. For the first time, we compare the Fourier frequency-resolved lags directly to those computed using the popular Interpolated Cross-Correlation Function (ICCF) method applied to both the original and detrended light curves. We show that the anticipated disk reverberation lags are recovered by the Fourier lags when zeroing in on the short-timescale variability. This suggests that a separate variability component is present on long timescales. If this separate component is modeled as reverberation from another region beyond the accretion disk, we constrain a size-scale of roughly 15 light-days from the central black hole. This is consistent with the size of the broad line region inferred from H$β$ reverberation lags. We also find tentative evidence for a soft X-ray lag, which we propose may be due to light travel time delays between the hard X-ray corona and distant photoionized gas that dominates the soft X-ray spectrum below 2 keV.

description: Pathogens and parasites are increasingly recognized as important components within host populations, communities, and ecosystems. Parasite contributions to ecosystem function most likely manifest as density-mediated impacts of parasites on their hosts, the direct contributions of parasite biomass to a system, and via parasite-induced changes in host behavior and physiology (trait-mediated impacts). Here, a framework was constructed that can be used to conceptualize parasite contributions to ecosystem function (Chapter 1). Then the influence of parasite attack on host movement was explored to further evince the mechanistic underpinnings of trait-mediated parasite impacts (Chapter 2). Additionally, mesocosms were created across a gradient of parasitism to examine how these mechanisms are likely to unfold at larger biological scales (Chapter 3). Lastly, a series of differential equations was created to model host-parasite-ecosystem interactions and generate theoretical predictions about how and when parasites are likely to influence ecosystem processes (Chapter 4). Parasites have many characteristics of ecosystem engineers, but their role has historically been ignored. These studies begin to explore the role that parasitism may have as one of the drivers of ecosystem processes.
Corrections of Zipf's and Heaps' Laws Derived from Hapax Rate Models

description: The article introduces corrections to Zipf's and Heaps' laws based on systematic models of the proportion of hapaxes, i.e., words that occur once. The derivation rests on two assumptions: The first one is the standard urn model which predicts that marginal frequency distributions for shorter texts look as if word tokens were sampled blindly from a given longer text. The second assumption posits that the hapax rate is a simple function of the text length. Four such functions are discussed: the constant model, the Davis model, the linear model, and the logistic model. It is shown that the logistic model yields the best fit.
