description: In this thesis, a number of techniques related to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) are used to derive core trafﬁc patterns from streams of traffic data on a large number of road segments. Using a few number of k hidden variables, we show that the trafﬁc information on the road segments can be captured by k trafﬁc patterns. The dimensionality of the correlated road segments is successfully reduced from n to a much smaller number k by applying techniques related to Principal Component Analysis (PCA), where n is the number of road segments and k is the number of hidden variables. We use the k nearest neighbor(KNN) method to predict the values of the hidden variables over small time windows. As a result, we are able to forecast the speeds for n road segments very quickly. Our results are aimed at network-level and real-time prediction. In general, the computation of PCA is computationally demanding when n is large. A more efﬁcient online version of PCA, called PASTd algorithm is used to reduce the data dimension. As a result, our forecasting method is efﬁcient, ﬂexible, and robust.

description: Though superseded by a newer translation, Denton Fox and  Hermann  Pálsson’s  version of Grettir’s  Sagais  a text to   which I feel a considerable attachment.1 Its rendering  of  the  Old  Norse  narrative  is  crisp  and  lucid, capturing the austere yet wry style of the original prose.  Even  more  than  its  artistry,  though,  what  compels  me about  the  Fox  and  Pálsson  translation  is  the  series  of photographs  with  which  the  book  begins.  Between  the introduction   and   the   story’s   instigation   have   been inserted   twelve   poorly   reproduced   black   and   white pictures   depicting   locales   mentioned   in   the   saga. Unattributed and unpaginated, this interlude of images captures     the     multiplicity     of     histories,     real     and imagined,  that  animate  the  Icelandic  narrative  and  its English reworking: a seeming timelessness in which the landscape  is  ever  as  it  has  been;  the  ninth  through eleventh centuries, when Grettir and his ancestors were supposed  to  have  journeyed  these  frigid  expanses;  the early   fourteenth   century,   when   the   saga’s   unknown author dreamt  a  past  that  never  was  and  placed  its unfolding  action  at  familiar  fjords,  glaciers,  and  vales; and  the  1970s,  when  Fox  and  Pálsson  published  their English  translation  of Grettir’s  Saga,  the  first  in  sixty years.  The  initial  photograph,  for  example, is  labeled “Bjarg  in  Midfjord,  site  of  Grettir’s  birth.”  The  image depicts   an   undulation   of   grass,   a   lone   rock,   and   a distant    mountain—presumably    Kaldbak,    the    chilly ridge   that   Grettir’s   great-grandfather   Onund   darkly spoke  of  having  traded  his  Norwegian  grain  fields  to possess. Yet the picture also contains a farmhouse that if  not  exactly  modern  is  in  no  way  medieval,  with  its bright  paint,  three  expansive  levels,  and  chimney.  The telephone poles and curve of road quietly argue against placing  a  young  Grettir  within  that  home.  Yet  the  story radiates such a keen sense of domestic vitality that it is difficult  to  resist  thinking  of  this  boy  destined  for  a  life no  farm  could  contain,  creating  his  particular  brand  of chaos  within  that  pastoral  space.  Every  time  I  look  at the  photo  I  expect  to  see  geese  and  a  horse,  futilely fleeing   his   juvenile   rage;   or   his   beleaguered   dad, storming  out  of  the  farmhouse  after  telling  a  young Grettir  one  more  time  that  he  has  made  a very  bad choice.

description: Crack formation can be detrimental to the integrity of structures. Cracks can be difficult to detect, especially sub-surface cracks. This thesis creates a framework using laser point thermography, curve fitting, and multivariable regression to determine the location and characteristics of vertical cracks. It utilizes finite element modeling to create a two-dimensional cross section of steel and model fifty-two surface and internal cracks. It then fits a curve to the modified data for each crack. Multivariable regression determines a matrix that relates the curve fitting coefficients to the crack characteristics. This matrix is used to determine the characteristics of four cracks given the thermal data. The result is a very high accuracy in determining the location of a crack and less accuracy in determining the length and depth of the crack. This thesis shows potential for continued work using this framework for crack detection after experimentation and extruding it to three-dimensions.

description: This thesis compares the performance of an engine/fuel tank based propulsion system to a motor/battery based propulsion system of equal total mass.  The results show that the endurance of the engine/fuel system at the same thrust output is approximately 5 times greater than that of the motor/battery system.  This is a direct result of the fact that the specific energy of the fuel is 20 times that of the lithium-polymer batteries used to power the motor.  A method is also developed to account for the additional benefits of fuel consumption (and hence weight reduction) over the course of the flight.  Accounting for this effect can increase endurance exponentially. Taken together, the results also demonstrate the dramatic performance improvements that are possible simply by replacing motor/battery systems with engine/fuel systems on small unmanned air vehicles.

description: Dans un contexte où la Responsabilité Sociétale des Entreprises (RSE) devient un enjeu stratégique majeur, l’engagement des salariés constitue un levier essentiel pour la mise en œuvre efficace des initiatives responsables. Toutefois, ses manifestations concrètes restent encore peu explorées. Cet article analyse les différentes formes de participation des employés aux actions RSE et identifie les facteurs qui influencent leur implication. En adoptant une approche qualitative, l’étude repose sur des entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès de salariés d’une entreprise engagée. L’analyse thématique des données met en évidence trois formes principales d’engagement : environnemental, illustré par des pratiques écoresponsables ; social, à travers des initiatives solidaires internes ; et sociétal, marqué par la participation à des actions citoyennes et humanitaires. L’étude souligne également les facteurs influençant cet engagement ainsi que les bénéfices réciproques pour les salariés et l’entreprise, apportant ainsi un éclairage nouveau sur les leviers d’une implication authentique et durable des employés dans la RSE.

description: This history examines attitudes toward and responses to school desegregation within an established, closely knit network of African-American communities in Prince George's County, Maryland, from 1954, immediately after Brown v. Board of Education, through the first year of the destabilizing busing era. Optimistic about the opportunities and social equality desegregated schooling might afford their children, black residents of this county nonetheless recognized the value of segregated schooling in securing a general sense of well being within both their children and their communities. Thus, for two decades they approached school desegregation with expectation and ambivalence, asserting collective agency to influence the school board's decision making, prevent the closing of black schools, and affirm their racial and cultural identity.

SOFT-STIFF HYBRID HYDROGELS

Subjects: subject: Chemical engineering
subject: FOS: Chemical engineering

description: Many structures in nature, such as the squid beak, have a combination of stiff and soft parts with very different mechanical properties – for example, the elastic modulus of the stiff part can be about 100 times that of the soft part. Researchers are interested in mimicking these types of structures using hydrogels, but have not succeeded in synthesizing gels with such dramatic variations in mechanical properties. In this work, we describe the synthesis of hybrid hydrogels in which one portion of the gel is very stiff while the other portion is soft. The stiff portion is a nanocomposite made by copolymerizing conventional acrylate monomers and silica precursors. The soft portion is a conventional polymeric gel made from acrylates. We use a technique developed in our lab to form hybrid gels in which the stiff and soft parts are integrated together into a whole while keeping strong interfaces between the parts. Rheological measurements show that the elastic modulus of the stiff part is more than 100 times that of the soft part. This ratio of moduli is the highest reported to date and is three times the ratio in the squid beak. Such soft-stiff gels could have applications in bioengineering, e.g., in interfacing stiff medical implants with soft tissues.

Potamida Hendel, 1903: 58.
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: None.
FIRST INCLUDED SPECIES: Stratiomys ephippium Fabricius, 1775 (with Ephippium thoracicum Latreille, 1805 [as “ Ephippium thoracicum Panz. ”] in synonymy) (in Speiser 1905: 406).
TYPE SPECIES: Stratiomys ephippium Fabricius, 1775, by subsequent designation (Speiser 1905: 406).
CURRENT STATUS: Preoccupied by Potamida Agassiz, 1846; junior synonym of Clitellaria Meigen, 1803. New Synonymy.
FAMILY: STRATIOMYIDAE.
REMARKS: Potamida was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 22) without included species and later made unavailable by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]). Hendel (1903: 58) treated Potamida as a synonym of Clitellaria Meigen, 1803, thereby proposing Potamida in synonymy, but he did not include any species. Speiser (1905: 406) was the first after Meigen (1800) to treat Potamida as valid, which makes the name available from Hendel (1903). Speiser (1905: 406) also included the first species, Stratiomys ephippium Fabricius, 1775, designating it as the type species, which is thus the type species by subsequent designation. Stratiomys ephippium Fabricius, 1775 is currently treated in Clitellaria Meigen, 1803 [teste Woodley (2001: 155)], which makes Potamida Hendel, 1903 a junior synonym of Clitellaria Meigen, 1803, n. syn. Melville (1960: 35) gave the “counterpart” for Potamida as Chippium Latreille, 1802. Melville also indicated that Latreille (1804: 341) emended Chippium to Ephippium. Chippium is a lapsus and the correction in a subsequent volume of the same series by Latreille [in this case Latreille (1804)] is allowed by the ICZN Code as a correction of an original spelling and Ephippium is to be considered the available name [see also Woodley (2001: 156)]. Melville’s (1960) placing Chippium [= Ephippium] as a “counterpart” of Potamida is technically correct as it is a synonym of and an older name than Clitellaria Meigen, 1802, but Ephippium Latreille, 1802 is preoccupied by Ephippium Röding, 1798. Thus Clitellaria Meigen, 1803 is the oldest available name for this genus, and we treat it here as the seniormost synonym of Potamida Hendel, 1903.

MEIOTIC PROPHASE AMINOPEPTIDASE M1 (MPA1) in Arabidopsis thaliana was previously shown to regulate cell cycle progression during prophase I in meiosis I in both female and male gametophytes and be essential for homologous recombination. mpa1 homozygous embryos are lethal due to chromosome de-synapsis resulting in uneven distribution of chromosomes in daughter cells and massive decrease in homologous crossovers reduces independent assortment. Here, I show that MPA1 is a soluble protein and is expressed throughout the seedling: in the primary root, hypocotyl, cotyledons, petioles and root and shoot apical meristem. I isolated and characterized four mpa1 alleles, and I showed that MPA1 loss-of-function mutants exhibited three significant phenotypes corresponding to development in seedlings and adult plants in Arabidopsis: non-disjunction in mitotic cells, altered polyploidy, and temporary arrest of primary root growth during seedling establishment.

description: This thesis pays special attention to the Random Forest method as an ensemble learning technique using bagging and feature sub-spacing covering three main aspects: its behavior as a prediction tool under the presence of missing values, its role in uncertainty quantification and variable screening. In the first part, we focus on the performance of Random Forest models in prediction and missing value imputations while opposing it to other learning methods such as boosting procedures. Therein, we aim to discover potential modifications of Breiman’s original Random Forest in order to increase imputation performance of Random Forest based models using the normalized root mean squared error and the proportion of false classification as evaluation measures. Our results indicated the usage of a mixed model involving the stochastic gradient boosting and a Random Forest based on kernel sampling. Regarding inferential statistics after imputation, we were interested if Random Forest methods do deliver correct statistical inference procedures, especially in repeated measures ANOVA. Our results indicated a heavy inflation of type-I-error rates for testing no mean time effects. We could furthermore show that the between imputation variance according to Rubin’s multiple imputation rule vanishes almost surely, when repeatedly applying missForest as an imputation scheme. This has the consequence of less uncertainty quantification during imputation leading to scenarios where imputations are not proper. Closely related to the issue of valid statistical inference is the general topic of uncertainty quantification. Therein, we focused on consistency properties of several residual variance estimators in regression models and could deliver theoretical guarantees that Random Forest based estimators are consistent. Beside prediction, Random Forest is often used as a screening method for selecting informative features in potentially high-dimensional settings. Focusing on regression problems, we could deliver a formal proof that the Random Forest based internal permutation importance measure delivers on average correct results, i.e. is (asymptotically) unbiased. Simulation studies and real-life data examples from different fields support our findings in this thesis.

description: To reduce nutrient pollution in our waterways and restore impaired watersheds, residents are needed to voluntarily practice a range of stormwater best management practices (BMPs). The overall goal of my thesis was to better understand barriers to BMP implementation by exploring the links among resident demographics, knowledge, and behaviors, as well as mosquito management, so that appropriate education can be more effectively developed and targeted. Importantly, this study found respondents who defined themselves as Caucasian or other races, and that were in owned houses, had higher mean BMP knowledge than respondents that identified themselves as African American and who are renters, respectively. This study also found that one barrier to BMP implementation, concern of mosquito breeding in BMPs, was not significant. Estimated abundances for all mosquito abundance metrics were significantly higher in combined other types of wet containers compared to wet disconnected downspouts, a commonly found BMP.

MONTE CARLO TREE SEARCH AND MINIMAX COMBINATION – APPLICATION OF SOLVING PROBLEMS IN THE GAME OF GO
Creators: name: Lin, Jonathan Fun

Subjects: subject: Engineering
subject: Monte Carlo Tree Search

description: Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has been successfully applied to a variety of games. Its best-first algorithm enables implementations without evaluation functions. Combined with Upper Confidence bounds applied to Trees (UCT), MCTS has an advantage over traditional depth-limited minimax search with alpha-beta pruning in games with high branching factors such as Go. However, minimax search with alpha-beta pruning still surpasses MCTS in domains like Chess. Studies show that MCTS does not detect shallow traps, where opponents can win within a few moves, as well as minimax search. Thus, minimax search performs better than MCTS in games like Chess, which can end instantly (king is captured). A combination of MCTS and minimax algorithm is proposed in this thesis to see the effectiveness of detecting shallow traps in Go problems.

description: Due to advances in electronic technologies, many systems are becoming increasingly dependent on electric power for control and safety critical features [1]. When power failures occur, fault detection and fault restoration processes are essential to reestablishing the proper function of the system. This thesis presents a system methodology that addresses fault detection and fault restoration for distributed electric power systems and a case study on applying the developed methodology to an aircraft electric power system.

This thesis implements sensor placement algorithms in order to obtain the most information about the state of the system. These algorithms rely on a state estimation algorithm developed in [21] in order to quantify the information obtained by the sensor measurements. Then, the sensor placement and state estimation algorithms are combined with a controller synthesis method. This results in a system methodology that periodically monitors the system for faults and brings the system back to safe operation.

subject: Living Umbrella

description: The living umbrella is resembling of a traditional patio umbrella but with a canopy made of a layer of plants rather than fabric or metal. It is thought to provide comfort and shade to users while increasing nature in hardscaped areas. The study aimed to compare the microclimates of metal canopy umbrella to that of living umbrellas. Metrics used were Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), UV transmittance, solar transmittance, air temperature, canopy temperature, and humidity. Compared to ambient conditions, the living umbrella reduced WBGT by 1.5˚C, and UV and solar transmittance by 24.2% and 18%, respectively. The metal umbrella reduced UV and solar transmittance more than the living umbrella, but not WBGT.  A second aim was to determine whether there was a Biophilic connection between the living umbrella and its users, which was explored through surveys. The Biophilic connection is exemplified by people who experience feelings of comfort when they are close to nature. The majority of respondents felt strong positive emotions towards the living umbrella, while 81% preferred a living umbrella over a metal umbrella. The research showed that an innovative green technology can improve the microclimate experienced by people while making them feel better.

Scopeuma Latreille, 1802: 461.
ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Musca scybalaria Linnaeus, 1758, Musca merdaria Fabricius, 1794, Musca stercoraria Linnaeus, 1758.
TYPE SPECIES: Musca merdaria Fabricius, 1794 [= Musca stercoraria Linnaeus, 1758], by subsequent designation (Coquillett 1910a: 604).
CURRENT STATUS: Senior synonym of Scathophaga Meigen, 1803. New Synonymy.
FAMILY: SCATHOPHAGIDAE.
REMARKS: Scopeuma was originally proposed by Meigen (1800: 36) without included species and later made unavailable by the suppression of the entire work for the purposes of zoological nomenclature by action of the I.C.Z.N. (1963: 339 [Opinion 678]). Latreille (1802: 461) was the first subsequent usage of Scopeuma after Meigen (1800), and Scopeuma was here placed in synonymy with Musca Linnaeus, 1758, sensu lato [“ tetanocerae ”] with three included species: Musca scybalaria Linnaeus, 1758, Musca merdaria Fabricius, 1794, and Musca stercoraria Linnaeus, 1758. The name was made available by subsequent usage as valid in Hendel (1908: 63). Hendel (1908: 63) listed a single species, Musca merdaria Fabricius, 1794, but did not designate a type species. Coquillett (1910a: 604) selected Musca merdaria Fabricius, 1794, which is the type species by subsequent designation. Musca stercoraria Linnaeus, 1758 is currently treated as a species of Scathophaga Meigen, 1803 [teste Sabrosky (1999: 278)], which makes Scopeuma Latreille, 1802 a senior synonym of Scathophaga Meigen, 1803, n. syn. Sabrosky (1999: 278) was unaware that the first inclusion of species of Scopeuma was in Latreille (1802) and incorrectly thought Hendel’s (1908: 63) inclusion of Musca merdaria Fabricius, 1794 was the type species in that work by subsequent monotypy. Acceptance of Scopeuma Latreille, 1802 over the commonly used Scathophaga Meigen, 1803 would threaten the stability of nomenclature and taxonomy of the latter name. A case is being prepared to submit to the ICZN Commission to suppress Scopeuma Latreille, 1802 in favor of Scathophaga Meigen, 1803.

description: In an effort to manage the invasive wood-boring buprestid, emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), biological control efforts have resulted in the release of four classical biological control agents. Emerald ash borer is known to infest ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) in both urban and natural habitats and, recently emerald ash borer has expanded its host range to include white fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus). While these parasitoids have been studied in forested habitats, little is known about their efficacy in urban landscapes and in white fringetree. Here, I evaluated the efficacy of Tetrastichus planipennisi an introduced, larval endoparasitoid, at parasitizing emerald ash borer in white fringetree. Additionally, I released T. planipennisi at sites along an urbanization gradient in Maryland and northern Virginia and evaluated habitat factors for their effect on emerald ash borer and its natural enemies. From my results, implications for biological control and management of emerald ash borer are discussed.

description: Earthquakes are one of the most devastating and expensive natural disasters in the world.  Economical and earthquake-resistant design remains a challenge for structural engineers. This study explores the optimal design of a seismic force resisting steel frame using a population based stochastic algorithm known as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). PSO is able to efficiently explore a complex solution space with many design variables and constraints. PSO is also problem independent and can be built around any approach to earthquake design. As a case study, the seismic design of a three-story moment resisting frame is optimized for the linear static, linear dynamic, and nonlinear static analysis methods. An interface was created between MATLAB and OpenSees to link optimization with a well-known and freely available earthquake engineering software. This application is extended to the performance-based design of structures, in which the optimal design meets the target performance objectives of Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety, and Collapse Prevention under Frequent, Design, and Maximum-considered seismic hazard levels.
