description: We study possible Scott sentence complexities of linear orderings using two approaches. First, we investigate the effect of the Friedman-Stanley embedding on Scott sentence complexity and show that it only preserves $Π^{\mathrm{in}}_α$ complexities. We then take a more direct approach and exhibit linear orderings of all Scott complexities except $Σ^{\mathrm{in}}_{3}$ and $Σ^{\mathrm{in}}_{λ+1}$ for $λ$ a limit ordinal. We show that the former can not be the Scott sentence complexity of a linear ordering. In the process we develop new techniques which appear to be helpful to calculate the Scott sentence complexities of structures.

description: Distributed stochastic optimization, arising in the crossing and integration of traditional stochastic optimization, distributed computing and storage, and network science, has advantages of high efficiency and a low per-iteration computational complexity in resolving large-scale optimization problems. This paper concentrates on resolving a large-scale convex finite-sum optimization problem in a multi-agent system over unbalanced directed networks. To tackle this problem in an efficient way, a distributed consensus optimization algorithm, adopting the push-sum technique and a distributed loopless stochastic variance-reduced gradient (LSVRG) method with uncoordinated triggered probabilities, is developed and named Push-LSVRG-UP. Each agent under this algorithmic framework performs only local computation and communicates only with its neighbors without leaking their private information. The convergence analysis of Push-LSVRG-UP is relied on analyzing the contraction relationships between four error terms associated with the multi-agent system. Theoretical results provide an explicit feasible range of the constant step-size, a linear convergence rate, and an iteration complexity of Push-LSVRG-UP when achieving the globally optimal solution. It is shown that Push-LSVRG-UP achieves the superior characteristics of accelerated linear convergence, fewer storage costs, and a lower per-iteration computational complexity than most existing works. Meanwhile, the introduction of an uncoordinated probabilistic triggered mechanism allows Push-LSVRG-UP to facilitate the independence and flexibility of agents in computing local batch gradients. In simulations, the practicability and improved performance of Push-LSVRG-UP are manifested via resolving two distributed learning problems based on real-world datasets.

Molecular and physiological interactions within the duckweed microbiome and with the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, via the auxin pathway
Creators: name: Gilbert, Sarah
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Duckweeds are small aquatic plants with applications in wastewater treatment, biofuel production and animal feed additive. Although duckweeds grow rapidly all over the world, man-made farming remains a challenge for large-scale production. Our growing world population requires sustainable agricultural practices that involve introduction of novel crops such as duckweeds and improved farming methods for existing crops. Beneficial microbes are of interest to improve plant health and yield. Thus, understanding interactions between plants and bacteria would be necessary for proper selection of bacterial strains and application procedures. Many bacteria are known to improve plant growth by production of phytohormones such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), an auxin commonly found in nature. In this thesis, we aim to 1) Characterize the duckweed microbiome by auxin production to identify potential growth promoting strains, 2) Determine the mechanisms of plant-bacteria interactions via the auxin pathway, and 3) Determine the mechanisms of auxin signaling within tripartite interactions.Isolation of forty-seven strains of duckweed associated bacteria (DABs) from various duckweed clones provided an excellent resource for studying the diversity of interactions within the duckweed microbiome. Characterizing the duckweed microbiome by auxin production led to evidence for an association between the type of indole related compound produced by the DAB and the duckweed genus that it was isolated from. Binary association assays with DABs capable of producing indole related compounds revealed two genetically similar Microbacterium strains DAB 1A and DAB 33B. DAB 1A, but not DAB 33B, caused an auxin associated short root phenotype on the model plant A. thaliana. Yet both strains can cause similar, but not identical, transcriptional responses that included known auxin-responsive genes in the plant, indicating various roles of auxins in signaling between bacteria and the plant host. Co-inoculation of DAB 1A and Herbaspirillum strain DAB 5E onto A. thaliana resulted in suppression of the short root phenotype. Based on results from auxin-response reporter plant lines and auxin stability studies with bacteria culture, we propose that DAB 5E degrades IAA at high levels, which can enhance its growth and competition among other strains, while maintaining IAA response in the plant to escape detection. Altogether, these results suggest various roles of indole related compounds, such as IAA, in assembly of the plant microbiome.

Stirling-Euler-Mahonian Triples of Permutation Statistics

description: Two well-known distributions in the study of permutation statistics are the Mahonian and Eulerian distributions. Mahonian statistics include the major index MAJ and the number of inversions INV, while examples of Eulerian statistics are the number of descents des and excedances exc. Also of interest are pairs of permutation statistics that have the same joint distribution as (des, MAJ); these are called Euler Mahonian pairs. In this paper we define a Stirling statistic as one that is equidistributed with the number of right-to-left minima rlmin and a Stirling- Euler-Mahonian triple as a triple of statistics with the same trivariate distribution as (rlmin, des, MAJ). We prove that several triples involving well-known statistics are Stirling-Euler-Mahonian. A general bijective technique is demonstrated for any Mahonian statistic that has a permutation code. Finally, we note several properties of Stirling-Euler-Mahonian triples that follow from earlier results.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of multimodal glycoligands with bio-orthogonal aldehyde based functional moiety
Creators: name: Goncalves, Antonio
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Multimodal ligands can be used to achieve selective clearance of impurities in a single chromatography step by having multiple modes of interaction between the ligand and the targeted protein analyte. One strategy for designing effective multimodal ligands is to establish a large library of chemically diverse ligands and utilize high-throughput screening methods to test each ligands effectiveness. However, this method becomes ineffective as the number of ligands in the library increases, so other strategies should also be utilized. A strategy used to create a smaller but, more effective library, is to design ligands that closely mimic protein-ligand binding interactions found in natural systems. One such example would be design ligands that mimic the multimodal interactions between proteins and complex glycans. However, limited research has been conducted to design and synthesize multimodal glycan-based ligands (or glycoligands) for protein chromatography or other similar applications.Here, we investigate the chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycan-based multimodal glycoligands using a glycosynthase enzyme engineered from a native glucuronidase belonging to the family 2 glycosyl hydrolase. To the best of our knowledge, this work signifies the first reported attempt to chemoenzymatically synthesize a glucuronide with a bio-orthogonal aldehyde functional group allowing it to be covalently attached to a suitable resin or support. The four specific objectives that were completed to accomplish this goal were; (i) use in-silico docking simulations to establish and justify a library of hydrophobic alcohol acceptors containing an aldehyde functional group, (ii) synthesize and purify 1-Deoxy-1-fluoro-α-D-glucopyranuronic acid using TEMPO oxidation and anion exchange chromatography, (iii) generate a library of glycosynthase mutants from the E.coli glucuronidase gene, uidA, and express, purify and characterize the wild-type and nucleophilic mutant enzymes, (iv) run glycoligand synthesis assays with an active glycosynthase mutant, activated glucopyranuronic acid donor and a library of alcohol acceptors to confirm if the engineered uidA glycosynthases can synthesize the desired multimodal glycoligands. Our results led further credence to our initial hypothesis and in-silico studies, that uidA glycosynthases can synthesize glucuronides with aldehyde containing bio-orthogonal functional groups that can then serve as potential multimodal ligands for protein chromatography. We also discuss future research directions into how we can utilize additional glycosynthases enzymes to create more complex multimodal charged glycans by using our currently synthesized glycoligand product as substrate.

The effects of space and energy on parasite communities
Creators: name: Grunberg, Rita L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Parasites are ubiquitous in nature, and yet their contribution to biodiversity and ecosystem processes is poorly understood. This knowledge gap has provoked a plea to include parasites into ecosystem ecology. Still, incorporating parasites into our purview of ecology is a nuanced task because it requires the careful consideration of the spatial scale of host-parasite interactions and the use of common ecological currencies. In this dissertation, I explore the effects of host community structure, spatial scales and energetics on patterns in parasite assemblages. First, I test for concordance between the patterns of similarity of parasite assemblages, host communities and environmental factors. I used multivariate tests to assess if parasite assemblages mirror changes that occur along a stream width gradient in two riverine ecosystems. Overall, I observed no concordance between patterns in parasites and hosts assemblages suggesting that parasites and their hosts are not responding similarly to changes in environmental factors that occur along rivers. Next, I contrast patterns in parasite body size-density relationships at different spatial scales to highlight scale sensitivity in macroecological patterns. Here, I varied the focus of the analysis (e.g. local and global) and spatial grain of the data (e.g. parasite populations nested within their host or within an ecosystem). At local scales, I found wide variation in the relationship between parasite density and body size, while the global analysis generally fit the pattern posited by theory. However, this result was also contingent on how parasite populations were delineated. Given these results, I advocate for a more consistent use of spatial scales that reflect the processes generating the pattern being tested. Last, I extend ideas from the metabolic theory of ecology to develop scaling relationships that explain the energetics of parasite communities nested within their hosts and ecosystems. Across host species, I found parasite community-level energetics scales allometrically with host energetics. At the ecosystem-level, wide variation in parasite productivity is better explained by host productivity rather than host biomass measures, suggesting that accounting for variation in how hosts and parasite use energy need to be considered in the future.My research approach broadly demonstrates ways to link parasite diversity and energetics to their hosts across biological scales and provides new avenues of research to incorporate parasites into metabolic theory.
Speculative aesthetics: time, space, and the Black subject in 20th and 21st century African American literature
Creators: name: Hamilton, Regina Danielle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: In “Speculative Aesthetics: Time, Space, and the Black Subject in 20th and 21st Century African American Literature” I engage the speculative as an umbrella term for any literary device or trope that exists beyond the boundaries of realism, rather than as a lesser acknowledged sub-genre used by authors within the African American literary canon. Though seemingly marginal, speculative themes, characters, and settings are fairly common within the African American literary canon. Therefore, one crucial element of my argument is that the speculative should be thought of as an important component of black aesthetics employed by authors of African American literature to tackle issues that are central to the canon and to black life in America. One such issue is the possibility, or lack thereof, of untethering the American black subject from the afterlives of enslavement. Authors of African American literature have been using speculative devices to create breaks or gaps in the time and space of the American nation in order to disconnect the American black subject from the afterlives of enslavement since the 19th century. “Speculative Aesthetics” focuses on the speculative means by which authors of African American literature move the American black subject out of empty time and abstract space to the future.

This group was established for two similar species, one from West, one from East Africa. Both species of this group were also placed by Chaudoir in the genus Craspedophorus (Hope, 1838) near the end of his genus “ Craspedophorus sensu stricto ” (1879: 97) together with species of refered species groups: C. leprieuri Häckel (2017: 203), C. reflexus Häckel (2016: 506), C. regalis Häckel (2017: 2014) and C. strachani nov. C. brevicollis group contains species differing from those of above listed groups in their ventral sternites, strongly crenulated anteriorly (in contrast to species of C. leprieuri and C. reflexus groups, both groups without crenulation), metepisterna longer than wide, trapeziform (in contrast to the species of the C. strachani group with rhombic metepisterna), antennae slender, without dilatation (in contrast to the species of C. regalis group with dilated medial antennomeres), and chiefly in their pronotum, extremely transverse, with gradually widely rounded lateral margins. With respect to all above cited signs as well as to Bates' recomendations (1886: 9) I place one more species in this group, C. abnormis (Bates, 1886). The group presently contains three species, one with two subspecies.
Characters. Large species (17–23 mm). Two species apterous, one alate. Body, palps, antennae and legs black. Antennae slender without any dilatation. Labial palps elongated, kidney-shaped in males. Pronotum strongly transverse, length/width ratio 1.55–1.80, semicircular, pronotal base straight or weakly pedunculated, wider than anterior margin long. Elytra each with two to three yellow maculae.
Distribution remarks. Both east-african species of this group inhabit the Rift region. Northern species can be found in a large area from Rift Valley Province in Kenya to Eritrea, from where it expands out of the continent to Yemen on the Arabian peninsula. Southern species inhabits the same region in Kenya and Tanzania where both distributional areas overlap. But it also expands more to the South and out of the Rift to the West to DR Congo and Angola. West-african species creating two subspecies, one living in Far West Africa from Senegal to northern Benin, until now, the second one is known solely from southern Benin.

description: In this article, we study the behavior of iterations of symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on symplectic manifolds. We prove that symplectomorphisms and Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms do not have $C^1$-recurrence on negatively monotone symplectic manifolds. This is a generalization of the results of the study of Polterovich, Ono, Atallah-Shelukhin. Hamiltonian group actions play very important roles in symplectic geometry. We see that negatively monotone symplectic manifolds are far from being Hamiltonian $G$-manifolds.

description: Green tea is a widely consumed tea category in China and many other countries worldwide. Usually, green tea only has few processing steps, which can mostly preserve the original compounds of fresh tea leave. Regarding the tea raw materials’ tenderness, flavor, taste and appearance, for each kind of green tea, it can be classified as different grades. Huangshan-Maofeng (HSMF) tea is a very famous and typical pan-fried green tea in China. The fresh tea leaves go through three processes, as the order of fixation, rolling and drying to obtain the final green tea product. The best or high grade of HSMF tea is usually labelled as "tè" (T), which means the special high grade of tea. The HSMF tea could be rated as six grades, "T1, T2, T3, 1, 2, 3" ordered from the high to low grade. The price of HSMF tea is highly correlated to its grade, which mainly depends on the sensory evaluation. Recently, we just studied the metabolomics of black tea and the chemical contributors of glucose-producing enzymes inhibition effect. Similarly, the metabolomics can also be used in exploring the marker compounds, especially the minor or trace composition of tea under different treatments, or from different geographical locations. Combining with the chemical standards, tea plant chemistry database, and mass fragment regulations of typical types of secondary metabolites of tea plant, many marker compounds have been identified from tea. To find the grade-related compounds of tea, metabolomics could also be a potent tool. The taste of tea infusion is tightly correlated to the non-volatile compounds of tea. There have been some studies about the non-volatile flavor compounds of tea, such as L-theanine, galloylated catechins, caffeine, and flavonoid glycosides. Usually, caffeine is the major bitter compound of tea, while L-theanine is a vital umami factor for the fresh taste of green tea. In this decades, it was reported that flavonoids glycosides in addition contributed to the astringency of black tea, though galloylated catechins and procyanidins are also astringent compounds which can cause the strong mouth-drying feeling in some low-grade of tea. To connect the chemical composition and taste of tea infusion, except for the classic threshold studies, the metabolomics analysis combining with sensory evaluation could also be promising. In this research, the different grades of HSMF green tea were studied by LC-MS based metabolomics, and then the critical compounds responsible for the classification of tea grades were identified by chemical standard or related database.

Longitudinal modeling of student self-reported purpose in urban middle schools

description: Purpose is "a stable and generalized intention to accomplish something that is at once meaningful to the self and of consequence to the world beyond the self" (p. 121, Damon, Menon, & Bronk, 2003). Purpose incorporates three dimensions: Intention toward purpose, Engagement in purpose, and the Beyond-the-self quality of purpose. Purpose is considered an essential developmental asset and galvanizing force for adolescents of all backgrounds, but most of the literature on adolescent purpose development has investigated the construct in majority White and middle to upper income settings. This study sought to address gaps in the purpose literature by quantitatively modeling purpose among students in the setting of largely low-socioeconomic status, predominately racial/ethnic minority, urban middle schools. Using a Developmental Systems Theory framework, the study investigated the ability of relevant contextual factors, including race, gender, "failing" school status, and mental health, to predict the initial status and change in purpose. Participants were middle school students (n = 2629) attending six low-resourced urban middle schools in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. Hierarchical Linear Modeling was used to model purpose, and the three purpose dimensions, over time. Model building was guided by the procedures outlined by Singer and Willett (2003). Results were unexpected in that purpose was found to decline over the course of the study. While many of the hypothesized predictors were related to the initial status of purpose, few predictors were related to change in purpose over time. The overall pattern of purpose decline and the lack of significant predictors of purpose change held for the three purpose dimensions as well. Overall, the results of this study failed to provide clear answers to the research questions. Instead, results pointed to challenges with conceptual clarity and measurement of purpose, difficulty measuring purpose in middle school students, and the mismatch between Developmental Systems Theory and contemporary options for quantitative analysis. Understanding youth purpose development, particularly in the context of low-resourced urban schools, remains a critical priority. This study highlights the need to develop innovative procedures for statistically modeling the complex nature of youth development in context.
Risk analysis and management of New Jersey food supply chain

description: New Jersey is known as the Garden State for its dynamic, thriving food production industry that runs the gamut from vegetable growing to sophisticated manufacturing operations. Today New Jersey has a thriving $126 billion food industry and agriculture sector that grows every day. With such a vast and complex system, the food supply chain in New Jersey is vulnerable because a single disruption to one element could spread out and bring huge impact to the entire system. Such a ripple effect may have a tremendous impact on not only the state’s economy and job market, but also the state’s security, vulnerability, and resiliency. Food supply chain risks may occur naturally, intentionally, or accidentally. No matter how a risk originates, it may propagate along the connected members and then impact the entire network. Hence, it is critical to identify the risks in the New Jersey food supply chain and analyze their impacts. Understanding how risks propagate through the network will provide us with important insights into vulnerability assessment for the critical assets in the New Jersey food supply chain. Risks can then be better controlled, mitigated, and prepared for.This thesis first introduces the current status of the New Jersey food supply chain and then reviews the existing studies on supply chain risk modeling and propagation. To identify the critical assets in the New Jersey food supply chain and their relationship, the important nodes, links, risks, and failure probabilities are analyzed. The New Jersey food supply chain is then configured with 293 nodes. A new model for risk propagation is developed based on the traditional virus propagation models. The proposed model is then implemented in simulation for the New Jersey food supply chain network. Simulation results demonstrate how risks propagate through the network and which assets are the most critical ones in the New Jersey food supply chain. Future efforts will be devoted to more simulation analysis and improving the risk propagation model.

description: Bombus pratorum santonae (Tkalců, 1985)
It spreads mainly in some mountain ranges of the Iberian Peninsula, between 600 and 2152 m (up to 3300 m outside the Pyrenees), in forest biotopes as well as in areas of scrubland, meadows, pastures, gardens, roadsides and even in steppe zones (Castro & Ornosa 1985; Ornosa & Ortiz-Sanchez 2004; Vargas et al. 2013).
In the Pyrenees, it has been collected in forest biotopes and meadows of altitude between 1310 and 2152 m (Fig. 7), on Buglossoides arvensis (L.) I. M. Johns., Centaurea scabiosa L., Epilobium angustifolium L., Lathyrus pratensis L., Lotus corniculatus L., Onobrichis vicifolia Scop., Ranunculus pyrenaeus L., Rhododendron ferrugineus L., Silene acaulis (L.) Jacq., Trifolium pratense L., Trifolium repens L. and Vaccinium myrtillus L.
According to current records (Table 2), the Pyrenaean population of B. pratorum seems to suffer decline and exhibits greater elevational tendency (Fig. 7). It was relatively common in the past (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2004) and it seems to maintain its Iberian distribution. Furthermore, there are recent records outside the Pyrenees, some of them new for the Iberian Peninsula (Castellón: Fredes, VII-2011, 1 worker, IML leg., 1090 m, C.

description: We construct new examples of compact ECS manifolds, that is, of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor that are neither conformally flat nor locally symmetric. Every ECS manifold has rank 1 or 2, the rank being the dimension of a distinguished null parallel distribution discovered by Olszak. Previously known examples of compact ECS manifolds, in every dimension greater than 4, were all of rank 1, geodesically complete, and none of them locally homogeneous. By contrast, our new examples -- all of them geodesically incomplete -- realize all odd dimensions starting from 5 and are this time of rank 2, as well as locally homogeneous.

description: Background: A balance between training stress and recovery is essential for successful athletic performance, thus the development of an evidence-based approach to monitoring changes in stress and recovery is critical. The purpose of this study was to combine analysis of nutritional biomarkers with mood, sleep, and performance assessments to examine changes in recovery and training status throughout a competitive season. Methods: Division I female collegiate soccer players (N=25; Mage=19.4 + 1.4 yrs; Mht= 167.9 + 6.3 cm) participated in blood draws at the beginning of preseason (T1) and every four weeks after within ~18 hours following a game (T2-T4). Athletes arrived well hydrated following an overnight fast. Several performance tests were administered prior to the start of preseason (PT1) and end-of-season (PT2). These included body composition (body fat (%BF), fat free mass (FFM), and fat mass (FM), vertical jump (VJ), and VO2max. Glutamine (Glu), Taurine (Tau), Tryptophan (Trp), Phenylalanine (Phe), Iron (Fe), Vitamin B12 (VitB12), Vitamin D (VitD), and Omega-3 (n-3FA) were analyzed. Mood and sleep were assessed using the Multi-Component Training Distress Scale (MTDS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Workload was assessed using several measures including heart rate data, distance covered (Dis), caloric expenditure (kcal), caloric expenditure (kcal/kg), and training load (TL). Additionally, counter movement jump (CMJ) was assessed at the beginning of practice at each time point. RM MANOVAs with univariate follow-ups were conducted with significance at P<0.05. Results: Weight was maintained throughout the season despite an increase in LBM (P.05). Trp decreased from T2-T3 (∆Trp = -10.9 ± 4.3 umol/L, P

description: In game theory, mechanism design is concerned with the design of incentives so that a desired outcome of the game can be achieved. In this paper, we explore the concept of equilibrium design, where incentives are designed to obtain a desirable equilibrium that satisfies a specific temporal logic property. Our study is based on a framework where system specifications are represented as temporal logic formulae, games as quantitative concurrent game structures, and players' goals as mean-payoff objectives. We consider system specifications given by LTL and GR(1) formulae, and show that designing incentives to ensure that a given temporal logic property is satisfied on some/every Nash equilibrium of the game can be achieved in PSPACE for LTL properties and in NP/ΣP 2 for GR(1) specifications. We also examine the complexity of related decision and optimisation problems, such as optimality and uniqueness of solutions, as well as considering social welfare, and show that the complexities of these problems lie within the polynomial hierarchy. Equilibrium design can be used as an alternative solution to rational synthesis and verification problems for concurrent games with mean-payoff objectives when no solution exists or as a technique to repair concurrent games with undesirable Nash equilibria in an optimal way.
