Subjects: subject: Conceptual art, subjectivity, pedagogy, popular culture

description: My current research seeks to dissolve the barrier between practice and theory. This has been done through the creation of hybrid identities in the form of composite characters and conceptual avatars towards the realization of what I have termed an event site. Event sites are a text/practice methodology that permits and encourages the simultaneous existence of multiple, varied and sometimes, conflicting positions. The event site allows the words included in a text to perform the job of both theory and practice. Through the action of these diverse subjectivities the site of the event is revealed as a heterogeneous procedure for thought, and the two modes of enquiry (theory and practice) are both reoccupied, suggesting that there is no distinction between theory and practice and they can co-exist in a middle space. This middle space simultaneously accommodates both equivalence and difference and allows for questions on the relationship of language to logic as a site for radical indeterminacy.1 Allowing for a reworking of the tradition notion of an artistic practice and a theoretical text to demonstrate how both ways of working compliment and are an important and valid part of research. Questions my PhD sought to explore: What is the affect of the transition between the virtual space of the screen and the written space of the page? To what extent can a television character situate the re-occupation of both practice and theory in order to assume a different relationship to both of them? In what way can the juxtaposition between theory/practice allow for a dispersed subjectivity to unfold and reconfigure accepted narrative frameworks?
title: Ventriloquial Acts: Critical reflections on the art of Foley and the role of sound in social space
Creators: name: Lewis, Matt
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Foley, Sound Art, Social Space, Audio-Visual

description: The work presented herein seeks to bring together two convergent strands of research in regards to audio-visual perception and sound in social space.

It is through the study of cinematic reception, and in particular, the art of Foley that the text below constructs a framework within which to critically examine different, and sometimes connecting strands of thinking around perception, listening practice, audio-visual theory, sound-art and music. Through this analysis the text and projects described below seek to both critique and offer an extension of some of the dominant theories in relation to audio-vision. Notation is used as a concept in order to contextualise and problematise Matt’s own work and that of other artists in an attempt to offer a legitimate way with which to approach different strategies of working with sound and music.

The accepted dominance of the visual in both film and in society more generally is not a purely cultural phenomenon, but a perceptual one too. The contention promoted below is that an exploration of the ways in which this perceptual phenomenon is mirrored in how we approach urban listening environments and the markets and mechanisms behind consumption can lead us to a broader understanding of the nexus between perceptual auditory space and sound in social space.

Despite the importance of a problematising of a prioritising of the visual, the intention of this work is not to propose a counter-attack of aural cultures against the hegemony of an ocular-centric society, or any other modality. Rather, an exploration of how post-print culture affords artists working with sound and music new sets of possibilities, and to offer new models of interpretation for the experience of sound art, audio-visual installation and experimental music.

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the perception of micro-expressions in animated characters with different visual styles. Specifically, the work reported in this thesis sought to examine: (1) whether people can recognize micro-expressions in animated characters, (2) whether there are differences in recognition based on the character visual style (stylized versus realistic), (3) the extent to which the degree of exaggeration of micro-expressions affect the perceived naturalness and intensity of the animated characters’ emotion, and (4) whether there are differences in effects on perceived naturalness and intensity based on the character visual style. The research work involved two experiments: a recognition study and an emotion rating study. A total of 275 participants participated in both experiments. In the recognition study, the participants watched eight micro-expression animations representing four different emotions (happy, sad, fear, surprised). Four animations featured a stylized character and four a realistic character. For each animation, subjects were asked to identify the character’s emotion conveyed by the micro-expression. Results showed that all four emotions for both characters were recognized with an acceptable degree of accuracy. The recognition rates of the stylized character were 84.73% for happiness, 88.73% for sadness, 60.73% for fear, and 83.64% surprise. The recognition rates of the realistic character were 87.37% for happiness, 82.94% for sadness, 69.62% for fear, and 77.13% for surprise. In the emotion rating study, participants watched two sets of eight animation clips (16 clips in total). Eight animations in each set featured the character performing both macro- and micro-expressions, the different between these two sets was the exaggeration degree of micro-expressions (normal vs exaggerated). Participants were asked to recognize the character’s true emotion (conveyed by the micro-expressions) and rate the naturalness and intensity of the character’s emotion in each clip using a 5-point Likert scale. Findings showed that the degree of exaggeration of the micro-expressions had a significant effect on emotion’s naturalness rating, emotion’s intensity rating, and true emotion recognition and the character visual style had a significant effect on emotion’s intensity rating. Emotion type, participant gender and participant animation experience also had significant effects on perception of the micro-expression.

description: The evaluation of listening experiments and studies on acoustics not only requires basic knowledge of statistics, but also poses challenges in the implementation of different methodologies. Especially for small sample sizes and peculiarities regarding hierarchical data structures, the need to individualize evaluation scripts arises. Therefore, we introduce flexcv, a powerful machine learning package for Python for evaluating various models on experimental tabular data, especially with small sample sizes. It supports random effects evaluation (including random slopes) for both linear and non-linear regressors, providing broad applicability to different experiments and research questions.flexcv quickly allows to perform nested cross-validation on a variety of models for comparison with each other. On the one hand, the implementation of a flexible interface simplifies the exchange of methods in the script, allowing researchers to change cross-validation methods without having to touch the actual cross-validation code. On the other hand, extensive online logging allows and simplifies the evaluation and experiment tracking along the process and different machines.

description: The Blanding’s Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) is considered a species of conservation need across much of its range. A key aspect to conserving a species is understanding the genetic diversity and population structure across the landscape. Several researchers have focused on E. blandingii genetic diversity in the northeastern United States, Canada, and the Midwest. However, little investigation has been done on localities within the Great Lakes region of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Here 14 microsatellite loci are utilized to characterize the genetic diversity of E. blandingii in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. Understanding genetic trends within this region will allow for the defining of management units through genetic clustering, investigation of historic and recent migration between clusters, investigation of drivers of genetic differentiation, checks for bottlenecks, estimations of effective population size (Ne), and optimization of landscape resistance surfaces. Overall, little differentiation is observed between localities and within locality diversity tended to be high. A minimum of four clusters were identified and as many as seven clusters were detected in a hierarchical manner using three grouping methods (STRUCTURE, Tes3r, and DAPC). Historical migration between clusters was relatively low, and recent migration appears to be absent. Significant correlations between geographic distance and genetic differentiation (IBD), as well as watershed and genetic differentiation were observed. Optimized landscape resistance layers provided poor models and distance was maintained as the best driver of differentiation. No bottlenecking was detected, and Ne estimates were generally high, but likely biased by sample size. The long lifespan and delayed genetic differentiation of E. blandingii is likely responsible for the observed diversity and lack of differentiation between localities. This does not mean they are secure in the Great Lakes Region. Bottlesim analysis looking at the effects of population reduction and subsequent loss of genetic diversity indicates that many localities within the study area are likely vulnerable to genetic loss in the next 200 years, which can be rapid and drastic in long-lived species.

description: The dissertation includes two independent chapters which investigated the experiences of individuals with disabilities in connection with societal attitudes regarding disability. The first article is a systematized review which analyzes and synthesizes the existing literature on implicit and explicit disability attitudes across multiple domains (e.g., educational; occupational; healthcare). Chapter 1 identifies common themes across the existing literature and identifies potential predictors and buffers of negative disability attitudes. The article concludes with a call to counseling psychologists to address negative disability attitudes utilizing the roles and themes of the field. Finally, suggestions are made regarding the development and implementation of interventions to help address negative disability attitudes and the subsequent harmful effects. The second article is an empirical study that examines factors related to the persistence intentions of individuals with disabilities to address the high attrition rates of this population within postsecondary environments. A moderated mediation model is proposed to address four hypotheses. First, I hypothesized academic self-efficacy would mediate the relationship between stereotype threat and persistence intentions. Second, coping self-efficacy would mediate the relationship between stereotype threat and persistence intentions. Third, social self-efficacy would mediate the relationship between stereotype threat and persistence intentions. Fourth, I hypothesized that endorsing a growth mindset would buffer against the negative indirect relationship between stereotype threat and persistence intentions which operate through academic self-efficacy. Data were collected from postsecondary students who identified as having one or multiple diagnosed disabilities at a large public university in the Midwest. The study results supported my first hypothesis that academic self-efficacy would significantly mediate the relationship between stereotype threat and persistence intentions. Additionally, the results revealed that high levels of perceived stereotype threat were associated with lower levels of coping self-efficacy and social self-efficacy, as the researcher anticipated. However, our second and third hypotheses were rejected due to these mediating factors not significantly influencing a participants’ intentions to persist within the academic environment. Finally, the results suggested that one’s mindset of intelligence was a positive main effect predictor of academic self-efficacy. However, contrary to our fourth hypothesis, mindset of intelligence did not significantly moderate the negative indirect relation between stereotype threat and persistence intentions that operate through academic self-efficacy.

      Microscopic examination  of stool samples was done for detectin Entamoeba histolytica .The results showed that rate of infection with this parasite was 78%, infection with this parasite is affected with several factors such as  gender, as the infection rate in males increased and reached 81%, and the infection rate in females was lower reached 75%, the reason for the high rates of parasitic infection in males is attributed to the behavior of males in dealing with the environment surrounding them because working conditions abroad. According to infection with this parasite to age group there was a clear differences, it recorded  the highest infection rate in the age group (1-10) years  it  reached 83%, while the lowest infection rate was among people aged (20) and (40) years it reached 73%.

      It was also shown that infection with the dysentery amoeba parasite causes a decrease in red blood cells in males and females, as it was recorded at (4.63) cells/mcL and (3.91) cells/mcL respectively.
Graph Representation Learning for Unsupervised and Semi-supervised Learning Tasks

Subjects: Knowledge representation and reasoning

description: Graph representation learning and Graph Neural Network (GNNs) models provide flexible tools for modeling and representing relational data (graphs) in various application domains. Specifically, node embedding methods provide continuous representations for vertices that has proved to be quite useful for prediction tasks, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have recently been used for semi-supervised node and graph classification tasks with great success. However, most node embedding methods for unsupervised tasks consider a simple, sparse graph, and are mostly optimized to encode aspects of the network structure (typically local connectivity) with random walks. And GNNs model dependencies among the attributes of nearby neighboring nodes rather than dependencies among observed node labels, which makes it not expressive enough for semi-supervised node classification tasks. This thesis will investigate methods to address these limitations, including:
 (1) For heterogeneous graphs: Development of a method for dense(r), heterogeneous graphs that incorporates global statistics into the negative sampling procedure with applications in recommendation tasks; (2) For capturing long-range role equivalence: Formalized notions of representation-based equivalence w.r.t regular/automorphic equivalence in a single graph or multiple graph samples, which is employed in a embedding-based models to capture long-range equivalence patterns that reflect topological roles; (3) For collective classification: Since GNNs model dependencies among the attributes of nearby neighboring nodes rather than dependencies among observed node labels, we develop an add-on collective learning framework to GNNs that provably boosts their expressiveness for node classification tasks, beyond that of an {\em optimal} WL-GNN, utilizing self-supervised learning and Monte Carlo sampled embeddings to incorporate node labels during inductive learning for semi-supervised node classification tasks.
title: An ERP investigation of the consequences of motor preparation on visual processing.
Creators: name: Mason, Luke
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Action, attention, reaching, visual processing, motor preparation.

description: Action and perception have traditionally be studied in isolation, as separate and unitary cognitive processes. More recent evidence has demonstrated a lively interaction between the two. Preparing an action – either a saccade or a manual movement - causes enhanced processing of action-relevant stimuli in the environment, at the expense of the action-irrelevant. The aim of the research reported in this thesis are to provide further detail about this effect.
The experiments are reported in this thesis are concerned with how the spatial, temporal and functional properties of action affect perception. Chapter three reports an experiment in which the spatial properties of a grasped object, which make different demands of accuracy, were manipulated. The experiment in chapter four compared goal and effector locations, and measured visual processing across the time course of motor preparation. Chapter five reports an experiment that measured visual processing not just at goal and effector locations, but also at more distant locations not involved in movement, in order to estimate the spatial profile of the effect. 
Results showed clear enhancement of goal and effector locations simultaneously during motor preparation, although the goal location was enhanced over a broader time period than the effector, suggesting the two components of movement are not equivalent in terms of the relative priorities assigned to them during motor preparation. The spatial profile of the effect fell-off with distance from the goal and effector, and is discussed in terms of theories concerning the spatial profile of visual attention. 
Taken together, the results of all three experiments suggest that the processes initiated by motor preparation cause shifts in the patterns of perceptual facilitation and inhibition that ultimately achieve selectivity. The inclusion of the effector location in this process suggests that it is not limited to one representation at a time, but operates instead as a flexible and dynamic rebalancing of perception that adapts to any given cognitive task.
Design and characterization of optical phased array with half-wavelength spacing

description: Integrated optical phased arrays (OPAs) have gained popularity for achieving beam steering with no moving parts and potential high speed and small beam divergence angle. These characteristics are crucial for applications like free-space communication and light detection and ranging (LiDAR), a key component in autonomous driving. Two main aspects that affect the performance of an integrated OPA are discussed: high power handling and large beam steering range.
High emission power from the OPA is desirable for long range detection applications. Silicon is broadly used in integrated OPA designs as it allows for structures with a more compact footprint. However, its power-handling capability is limited by the two-photon absorption of the material, resulting in higher loss and potential damage at high input power levels. In this work, high power delivery into free space is realized by using a silicon nitride (SiN) and silicon hybrid platform. SiN components are used to direct and split high input power into smaller portions and coupled into silicon components for a more compact emitter array.
In order to achieve a full 180-degree beam steering range with aliasing-free operation, the pitch of a periodic emitter array is required to be half of the operating wavelength or less. At such a small pitch, evanescent coupling between adjacent emitters causes strong crosstalk. We demonstrate the optical phased array based on uniform half-wavelength spaced grating emitter array. Two-dimensional beam confinement and a record-high aliasing-free beam steering field-of-view of 135 degrees from grating emitter are measured from a 32 channel SiN/Si hybrid OPA. Evanescent coupling between waveguides are suppressed by metamaterial-based extreme skin-depth (e-skid) waveguides. The e-skid waveguides utilize an alternating air-silicon multi-fin side cladding. The high index contrast of those sub-wavelength ridges provides strong anisotropy, which leads to faster decay of the evanescent wave for transverse electric (TE) input modes, thus limiting evanescent coupling between closely spaced waveguides.
Furthermore, we extend the concept of the half-wavelength-pitched emitter array to the design of a two-dimensional end-fire OPA. This OPA can potentially achieve 180-degree by 180-degree full-range beam steering with no grating lobes by having a half-wavelength emitter pitch in both dimensions. The design of a broadband 8 by 8 silicon photonics switch based on the half-wavelength-pitched emitter array with low path-dependent loss (PDL) is also discussed.

description: New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are innovative approaches designed to replace, reduce, or refine traditional animal testing paradigms. Within NAMs, in vitro toxicology assays offer significant promise due to their human relevance, ethical benefits, and cost-effectiveness. These assays can generate vast amounts of toxicological data, presenting a wealth of information that can potentially be used to make informed decisions in chemical risk assessment, without using animals. However, extrapolating in vitro findings to predict in vivo outcomes without the use of clinical experiments remains a challenge. Physiologically Based Kinetic (PBK) modeling, also known as physiologically based toxicokinetic or pharmacokinetic (PBTK/PBPK) modeling, addresses this challenge by simulating the kinetic processes of a chemical in the body based on physiological principles and chemical properties. By doing so, PBK models offer several critical applications within NAM-based chemical risk assessment frameworks, particularly aiming at bridging the gap between experimental in vitro data and real-world scenarios. Some of the more prominent applications of PBK models within NAMs are depicted in table 1, with various other applications and possibilities available. PBK models and toxicokinetics are therefore essential components of NAM-based chemical assessments, as they can cover crucial parts that would otherwise be informed by animal studies.

This is further highlighted by the fact that the importance of toxicokinetic data for the current system of chemical safety assessment is increasingly recognized and increasingly implemented in legislative frameworks and guidance documents[1],[2].

This white paper introduces the principles of toxicokinetics within the context of NAMs, discusses the fundamentals of PBK modeling and demonstrates its possible applications, particularly focusing on NAM-based chemical risk assessment.

description: Reliable radiographic methods for characterizing nuclear waste packages non-destructively (without the need to open containers) have the potential to significantly contribute to safe handling and future disposal options, particularly for legacy waste of unknown content. Due to required shielding of waste containers and the need to characterize materials consisting of light elements, X-ray methods are not suitable. Here, energy-resolved MeV neutron radiography is demonstrated as a first-of-its-kind application for non-destructive and remote examination of mock up nuclear waste packages from a safe position using time-of-flight techniques enabled by a novel event-mode imaging detector system. Energy-resolved neutron transmission spectra were measured spatially, permitting the detection of analogue materials to actual nuclear waste such as water, melamine, and ion exchange resin within a 2.54 cm wall thickness steel pipe. The results demonstrate the capability to locate the materials through this wall thickness by radiography and tomographic reconstruction, revealing detailed 3D distributions and structural anomalies. The method effectively detects residual water in ion exchange resin, highlighting its sensitivity to moisture content, a crucial parameter for nuclear waste characterization. Monte Carlo simulations are in agreement with the experimental findings, providing a pathway to simulate waste forms more difficult to tackle experimentally. This work paves the way to apply sub-nanosecond intense MeV neutron sources, such as laser-driven neutron sources under development, to nuclear waste characterization.

MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF COMPOSITE SQUARE TUBE FOR CRASHWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK AND GENETIC ALGORITHM
Creators: name: Zende, Pradnya Vijaykumar
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The present work describes an optimization process used to find the optimum design to meet crashworthiness requirements which includes minimizing peak crushing force and specific energy absorption for a square tube. The design variables include the number of plies, ply angle and ply thickness of the square tube. To obtain an effective approximation an artificial neural network (ANN) is used. Training data for the artificial neural network is obtained by crash analysis of a square tube for various samples using LS DYNA. The sampling plan is created using Latin Hypercube Sampling. The square tube is considered to be impacted by the rigid wall with fixed velocity and rigid body acceleration, force versus displacement curves are plotted to obtain values for crushing force, deceleration, crush length and specific energy absorbed. The optimized values for the square tube to fulfill the crashworthiness requirements are obtained using artificial neural network combined with Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGA). MOGA finds optimum values in the feasible design space. Optimal solutions obtained are presented by the Pareto frontier curve.
