Charaxes (euxanthe) tiberius tiberius (grose-Smith, 1889)

description: Charaxes (Euxanthe) tiberius tiberius (Grose-Smith, 1889)
Henning 1989: 405 (4 figs, as Euxanthe t. tiberius). Kielland 1990: 277 (1 fig, ‘ atypical ’, as E. t. tiberius). d ’ Abrera 2004: 527 (2 figs, as E. t. tiberius). SI: Figure 19a – d.
Forewing length: male 43 – 53 mm [mean (n = 6) 46.63 mm, SD = 2.806]; female 51 – 60 mm [mean (n = 7) 53.84 mm, SD = 2.150]. van Someren (1975, p. 90) gave male forewing length as 45 – 50 mm, female as 50 – 53 mm.
Records
Kielland (1990, p. 93) gave the distribution of C. tiberius tiberius in Tanzania as lowland forest, up to 1350 m, in eastern and northeastern parts of the country, from south of Ifakara to the Usambaras, with an isolated sighting for Lake Duluti, Arusha, by Arthur Rydon. Cordeiro (1995), who concluded that this butterfly must be very rare in the Kilimanjaro area, cited Smiles ’ (1985) record for Moshi. This appears to be based on a male in BMNH collected by Cooper, 2500 ft, January – February 1938; there is also a Cooper female from West Kilimanjaro, Engare-Nairobi, at 4500 – 5500 ft, collected during the same period. This has smaller forewing postdiscal white spots than the female from Amani illustrated (SI: Figure 19c). In females from Tanzania the pale hindwing ‘ window ’ varies from white to pale yellow, but is apparently never so buff as in C. tiberius meruensis (van Someren, 1936) from Kenya. There is no tiberius material from the Kilimanjaro area in OUMNH. Included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna. Subsp. tiberius extends north into the coastal areas of Kenya. The only other race of C. (E.) tiberius is found in the vicinity of Mt Kenya (Ackery et al. 1995, p. 468).

description: In the goundbreaking paper [BD11] (which opened a wide avenue of research regarding unlikely intersections in arithmetic dynamics), Baker and DeMarco prove that for the family of polynomials $f_λ(x):=x^d+λ$ (parameterized by $λ\in\mathbb{C}$), given two starting points $a$ and $b$ in $\mathbb{C}$, if there exist infinitely many $λ\in\mathbb{C}$ such that both $a$ and $b$ are preperiodic under the action of $f_λ$, then $a^d=b^d$. In this paper we study the same question, this time working in a field of characteristic $p>0$. The answer in positive characteristic is more nuanced, as there are three distinct cases: (i) both starting points $a$ and $b$ live in $\Fpbar$; (ii) $d$ is a power of $p$; and (iii) not both $a$ and $b$ live in $\Fpbar$, while $d$ is not a power of $p$. Only in case~(iii), one derives the same conclusion as in characteristic $0$, i.e., that $a^d=b^d$. In case~(i), one has that for each $λ\in\Fpbar$, both $a$ and $b$ are preperiodic under the action of $f_λ$, while in case~(ii), one obtains that \emph{also} whenever $a-b\in\Fpbar$, then for each parameter $λ$, we have that $a$ is preperiodic under the action of $f_λ$ if and only if $b$ is preperiodic under the action of $f_λ$.
Searching heterogeneous personal data

description: Personal data is now pervasive, as digital devices are capturing every part of our lives. Users are constantly collecting and saving more data, either actively in files, emails, social media interactions, etc., or passively by GPS tracking of mobile devices, or records of financial transactions. Unlike traditional information seeking, which focuses on discovering new information, search on personal data is usually focused on retrieving information that users know exists in their own dataset, even though most of the time they do not have a perfect recollection of where it is stored. Attempting to retrieve and cross-reference personal information leads to a tedious process of individually accessing all the relevant sources of data and manually linking their information. In this scenario, traditional searches are often inefficient, making it critical for search tools to be capable of accessing heterogeneous and decentralized data in a flexible and accurate way by taking into consideration the additional knowledge the user is likely to have about the target information.In this dissertation, we introduce a set of techniques that allow users to easily access their own data. We start by presenting a unified and intuitive multidimensional data model following a combination of dimensions that naturally summarize various aspects of the data collection: who, when, where, what, why, how. We then proceed by designing frequency-based scoring models that leverage the correlation between users (who), time (when), location (where), data topics (what), and provenance (how) to improve search over personal data. Since the scoring model proposed needs to generalize well over user-specific datasets, we extend the static scoring function by adopting a learning-to-rank approach using the state of the art LambdaMART algorithm. Due to the lack of pre-existing personal training data, a combination of known-item query generation techniques and an unsupervised ranking model (field-based BM25) is used to build our own training sets.To validate the data and scoring models, we implemented tools for data extraction, classification, entity recognition, and topic modeling. A thorough qualitative evaluation performed over a publicly available email collection and a personal digital data trace collection from a real user show that our approach significantly improves search accuracy when compared with traditional personal search tools such as Apple's Spotlight and Apache Solr, and techniques like TF-IDF, BM25, and field-based BM25.

Records
Lowland forests, up to 600 m, in coastal areas of Tanzania northwards from Ifakara to the Usambaras, and inland as far as Udzungwa, Mbulu Forest and Arusha – where it may sometimes occur at 2000 m or even higher (Kielland 1990, p. 93). Cordeiro (1990, p. 35) recorded it from Lake Manyara National Park. The BMNH has specimens from Taveta, New Moshi, Moshi and Rau, all localities at approximately 750 m. In OUMNH there are four males from Taveta collected by Rogers in 1905. Not observed in the forest by Liseki (2009). On the evidence above included here as a member of the lower slopes fauna – with perhaps the capacity to enter the lowest zone of the forest. More widely C. (E.) wakefieldi occurs from coastal areas of Kenya south to South Africa, including populations on Pemba and Zanzibar (Henning 1989, p. 401; Ackery et al. 1995, p. 467).

Effects of training load and physical stress on performance and biomarkers indicative of health, nutrition, recovery, and performance in collegiate male and female athletes
Creators: name: Walker, Alan James
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Athlete tracking and monitoring have made recent technological advancements to encompass internal physiological markers (heart rate, heart rate variability, biomarkers) and external workload markers (GPS, accelerometry). Heart rate monitoring is a commonly used technique to monitor on-field training load (TL) which represents internal "effort" to complete a physical task. This effort is quantified as TL via algorithms based on heart rate response specific to each athlete or as exercise energy expenditure (EEE). Unfortunately, many TL monitoring techniques (including heart rate monitoring) only account for what is happening on the field and are unable to capture off-field stressors. Implementation of additional monitoring tools, such as blood biomarkers, can give insight as to athlete's health, performance, and recovery status by encompassing both on and off the field stressors. Blood biomarkers can provide a comprehensive analysis of the physiological and biochemical response to TL that would otherwise be undetected through the more traditional monitoring techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate the cumulative effects of season long TL in male and female collegiate soccer players. Our primary hypothesis is the training load and blood biomarkers will change over the course of the season, the secondary hypothesis is there will be a difference in these parameters between males and females.

description: In this paper, we show that three different generalized similarities enclose all unitary and anti-unitary symmetries that induce exceptional points in lower-dimensional non-Hermitian systems. We prove that the generalized similarity conditions result in a larger class of systems than any class defined by a unitary or anti-unitary symmetry. Further we highlight that the similarities enforce spectral symmetry on the Hamiltonian resulting in a reduction of the codimension of exceptional points. As a consequence we show that the similarities drive the emergence of exceptional points in lower dimensions without the more restrictive need for a unitary and/or anti-unitary symmetry.
Blueberry and cranberry floral stimulation of Colletotrichum fioriniae and other fruit rotting fungi
Creators: name: Waller, Timothy James

Year: 2019

description: Colletotrichum fioriniae is an important hemibiotrophic pathogen limiting both highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) and cranberry (V. macrocarpon Aiton) production worldwide. Since fungicide applications during bloom are most effective in both crops, the link between host floral signals and pathogen disease cycles were investigated. C. fioriniae as well as two other latent infection forming cranberry fruit rot pathogens C. fructivorum (C. gloeosporioides s.l.) and Coleophoma cylindrospora (C. empetri s.l.) and a mature fruit infecting fungi Allantophomopsis lycopodena were investigated to better describe the temporal dynamics of pathogen stimulation in response to host derived signals produced during bloom.In order quantify this relationship and visualize pathogen responses, host signals isolated via water or chloroform were utilized in extract-dependent bioassays. The results showed that blueberry and cranberry (as well as multiple other ericaceous species) floral extracts (FEs) affected two important disease cycle stages by stimulating an increased rate (+ 200%) and quantity (+ 500%) of secondary conidiation (inoculum build-up) and appressorial formation (infection structures) of C. fioriniae and all other pathogens evaluated, except A. lycopodena, linking bloom period infecting fungi to floral signals. Conidia in the presence of FEs also conferred higher levels of disease on detached fruit than conidia alone, suggesting that apparent disease was a function of increased appressorial formation. Bioactivity was readily detected in floral rainwater runoff and became more stimulatory as proximity to flowers or the bloom period increased, thus indicating both mobility of floral signals and the importance of phenology-specific cues. Chloroform-based extractions provided a chemical mirror of the host cuticles first encountered by pathogens. Characterization of multiple tissue types elucidated fatty acid derivative compositional patterns, where specific stimulatory compounds were more abundant in flower cuticular waxes. Multiple fatty acids were identified that stimulated appressorial formation, however, hexadecanoic fatty acid derivatives were concluded to be the most likely source of stimulation due to the paired bioactivity observations and occurrence of this compound within both water- and chloroform-based extraction types.This research provides strong evidence that flowers contribute substantially to the disease cycle events of replication (sporulation and secondary conidiation) and infection of fruit by C. fioriniae and other bloom period infecting fungi, thus providing evidence as to why the bloom period is often referred to as the critical disease control window.

description: An object handover between a robot and a human is a coordinated action which is prone to failure for reasons such as miscommunication, incorrect actions and unexpected object properties. Existing works on handover failure detection and prevention focus on preventing failures due to object slip or external disturbances. However, there is a lack of datasets and evaluation methods that consider unpreventable failures caused by the human participant. To address this deficit, we present the multimodal Handover Failure Detection dataset, which consists of failures induced by the human participant, such as ignoring the robot or not releasing the object. We also present two baseline methods for handover failure detection: (i) a video classification method using 3D CNNs and (ii) a temporal action segmentation approach which jointly classifies the human action, robot action and overall outcome of the action. The results show that video is an important modality, but using force-torque data and gripper position help improve failure detection and action segmentation accuracy.

Records
Known only from the type locality: ‘ Western foot hills, 6 – 7000 ft., Kilimanjaro ’ (van Someren 1967, p. 309; Henning 1989, p. 112). This subspecies appears endemic to Kilimanjaro (de Jong and Congdon 1993, appendix 8.2), but was not encountered by Liseki (2009). According to Kielland (1990, p. 95), most if not all of the several subspecies of C. ansorgei Rothschild, 1897, recognized to occur in Tanzania have been recorded up to 2000 m or higher. If this population survives on Kilimanjaro, it probably flies within the lowest zone of the forest reserve. Collectively, the 11 subspecies listed by Ackery et al. (1995, p. 433) are found in montane and submontane forests from Kenya and Uganda to eastern DRC and Malawi.

Regulation of sister centromere fusion and meiotic spindle assembly in Drosophila oocytes
Creators: name: Wang, Lin-Ing
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Accurate meiotic chromosome segregation prevents aneuploidy that can cause developmental problems and lead to infertility. The majority of errors causing aneuploidy in gametes are maternal in origin due to several innate differences in female meiosis. In contrast to mitosis and male meiosis, bi-polar spindles in female meiosis are assembled in the absence of centrosomes. Instead, the chromosomes direct bi-polar spindle assembly. Abnormalities in spindle formation or structure can cause non-disjunction of the chromosomes. To understand the mechanisms of proper chromosome segregation in female meiosis, I focused on sister centromere cohesion and spindle assembly in Drosophila oocytes. One important mechanism for proper chromosome segregation in meiosis is that the sister chromatids co-orient via sister centromere fusion, resulting in microtubule attachment to a shared spindle pole. This phenomenon is unique to meiosis I, and is well-studied in budding and fission yeast, it remains unclear how it is regulated in other organisms.Previously our lab has identified two proteins that are required for sister centromere fusion. I characterized these two genes and surprisingly found they regulate sister centromere fusion by two different mechanisms. SPC105R, a kinetochore protein, regulates centromere fusion by recruiting proteins that protect cohesins. Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), on the other hand, regulates this phenomenon through antagonizing proteins that stabilize microtubule attachment. The latter result suggests that stable microtubule attachment in metaphase I is the prerequisite to release sister centromere fusion without cohesin removal before metaphase II.The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) has four subunits (INCENP, Aurora B, Borealin and Survivin/Deterin) and it is essential for spindle assembly in Drosophila oocytes. I made several separation-of-function mutations within the Incenp subunit of the CPC and found that interactions with Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) are key to direct CPC-dependent spindle assembly in oocytes. HP1 firstly recruits the CPC to chromosomes through interacting with Borealin, and this interaction is also required for building the central spindle, the central overlap region of the microtubules. Additionally, I found evidence that HP1 interacts directly with INCENP within the central spindle in oocytes to promote homologous chromosome bi-orientation. These results give rise to a model where HP1 could be a novel CPC targeting subunit and reveals a mechanism for how the CPC mediates chromosome-mediated spindle assembly.

Contributions to crossover designs and quantile analysis for computer experiments
Creators: name: Wang, Liwei
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation develops methodologies for optimal crossover designs and quantile modeling in computer experiments. It consists of two parts. The fist part of the dissertation is regarding finding optimal crossover designs for qualitative treatment effect. The second part of the dissertation is to investigate quantile analysis in computer experiments.Crossover designs for quantitative variables are common in practice but the theoretical developments are overlooked in the design literature. Motivated by an experimental design problem in cell biology. new classes of optimal crossover designs are introduced under different model assumptions on carryover effects with quantitative variables. Theoretical properties of optimal designs are derived which are different from their counterparts with qualitative variables. To efficiently construct optimal designs, systematic procedures are proposed based on a collection of swap operations. The proposed optimal designs are demonstrated by simulation studies and an application in cell adhesion experiments.The characteristic of computer experiments are that they are deterministic, time-consuming and involve large number of variables. Due to these features of computer experiments, Gaussian process model is a widely used interpolator as an emulator in computer experiments to model mean structure of response. It is also of interest to model different quantiles. Motivated by finding an analogy to Gaussian process models for quantile analysis in computer experiments, a new Bayesian quantile analysis model for computer experiments is introduced. New model developed could capture the non-linearity and smoothness of underlying quantile functions. Quantile predictions in the new model for observed inputs agree on true quantiles asymptotically. With some constraints, asymptotic consistency of coefficients estimation is derived. There is no issue of quantile curves crossing each other in proposed model for quantile prediction of observed inputs.

Records
Mountains of the Northern Highlands, including Oldeani, Ngorongoro, Mt Meru and Mt Longido, at elevations of 1700 – 2600 m (Kielland 1990, p. 94). Encountered on Kilimanjaro by Liseki (2009, p. 105) at 2000 m during January and March. Four male and 1 female specimens in BMNH were collected at altitudes from 4000 – 5500 ft by Cooper. In addition there are three males from Moshi district, one collected at Rau Forest on 8 September 1943, one from ‘ 6 miles NW of Moshi ’, obtained 13 May 1916 by Buchanan, and the third from Mwika, 4000 ft, ex Adams Collection. In OUMNH there is a single male from Kilimanjaro collected by Rogers, May 1905. Beyond Tanzania this subspecies occurs in southeastern Kenya (Mt Mbolo, Taita Hills, Chyulu Hills, Ol ’ Doinyo Orok: Henning 1989; Larsen 1996). Over a dozen subspecies of C. acuminatus Thurau, 1903, are recognized, distributed in highland forests from Kenya and Uganda to Zambia and Zimbabwe (Ackery et al. 1995).

description: Quantum computing allows for the manipulation of highly correlated states whose properties quickly go beyond the capacity of any classical method to calculate. Thus one natural problem which could lend itself to quantum advantage is the study of ground-states of condensed matter models, and the transitions between them. However, current levels of hardware noise can require extensive application of error-mitigation techniques to achieve reliable computations. In this work, we use several IBM devices to explore a finite-size spin model with multiple `phase-like' regions characterized by distinct ground-state configurations. Using pre-optimized Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) solutions, we demonstrate that in contrast to calculating the energy, where zero-noise extrapolation is required in order to obtain qualitatively accurate yet still unreliable results, calculations of the energy derivative, two-site spin correlation functions, and the fidelity susceptibility yield accurate behavior across multiple regions, even with minimal or no application of error-mitigation approaches. Taken together, these sets of observables could be used to identify level crossings in a simple, noise-robust manner which is agnostic to the method of ground state preparation. This work shows promising potential for near-term application to identifying quantum phase transitions, including avoided crossings and non-adiabatic conical intersections in electronic structure calculations.

title: Bilateral foreign direct investment and European colonialism

description: In the quest to identify key influences on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, previous studies have often ignored the effects of relational factors that have historically been formed between countries. Hence, this thesis aims to reintegrate history into international business by posing the question: How do the historical colonial ties between European colonisers and their former colonies affect inward foreign direct investment flows from source to destination countries? From both a theoretical and practical standpoint, this question holds significance. The empirical analysis in this study employs a panel dataset on bilateral inward FDI stocks from 191 source countries to 201 host countries, which comprise advanced, emerging, and developing economies. The data cover the period from 2001 to 2012 and were selected solely based on availability. Controlling for standard gravity variables and other determinants of interest, this study finds statistically significant results concerning the effects of historical colonial relationships on inward foreign direct investment. The results show that historical colonial ties and common colonial experiences between source and host countries lead to more aggregate inward FDI and increase the probability that two countries engage in foreign direct investment in the first place. The empirical findings also indicate that a larger share of European settlers during colonial times, historical colonial relationships established by concessionary companies and Christian missionaries from the source country, and a longer period of colonial rule lead to more aggregate inward FDI in the host country. Ordinary least squares (OLS), Tobit, and Heckman sample-selection estimates confirm these findings, while the Poisson pseudomaximum likelihood (PPML) estimator either fails to produce statistically significant estimates or comes to contradictory conclusions for the influence of common colonial experiences and the period of colonial rule. Despite these minor ambiguities, it is recommended for multinational enterprises (MNEs) to invest in countries that were colonised by their respective home countries, whereas colonised host countries should direct their promotional efforts towards direct investors that are based in former coloniser states.

description: We investigate the scaling behavior of Nambu-Goldstone (NG) modes in the ordered phase of the Vicsek model, introducing a phenomenological equation of motion (EOM) incorporating a previously overlooked non-linear term. This term arises from the interaction between velocity fields and density fluctuations, leading to new scaling behaviors. We derive exact scaling exponents in two dimensions, which reproduce the isotropic scaling behavior reported in a prior numerical simulation.

Lithium-ion battery SOC estimation using deep learning neural networks
Creators: name: Wang, Rui
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Accurate State of Charge (SOC) estimation is very important for safe and reliable use of lithium-ion battery, which is widely installed as a new energy storage device in electrical vehicles. It is one of parameters in Battery Management System (BMS) to ensure good working condition of battery in case over-charging or over-discharging problems. There are a lot of methods used in SOC estimation such as open circuit voltage, coulomb counting and Kalman filter. Kalman filter is very popular method used recent years, but the accuracy needs to be improved a lot.Researchers start to work on predicting SOC based on neural networks. In this thesis, three different types of deep neural networks are used to estimate SOC of lithium-ion battery. they are Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Nonlinear Autoregressive Neural Network (NARX) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Performances of accuracy are tested among three networks to identify ability of predicting SOC.RNN performs best by measuring Mean Square Error (MAE) 1.21 of dataset UDDS, 3.43 of dataset NYCC and 1.51 of dataset UN. NARX has the lowest performance in estimation, but it is visual friendly in plotting trend of battery discharging process. Performance of ANN is fundamental compared with accuracy of RNN and display ability of NARX.
Investigation of Epichloë festucae -- strong creeping red fescue mutualistic and antagonistic interaction
Creators: name: Wang, Ruying
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Many cool-season grasses have symbiotic relationships with Epichloë (Ascomycota, Clavicipitaceae) fungal endophytes that reside in the intercellular spaces of the above-ground parts of host plants. The presence of the Epichloë endophytes is generally beneficial to host plants due to enhanced tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses conferred by the endophytes. Many Epichloë spp. are asexual and those infections always remain asymptomatic. However, some Epichloë spp. have a sexual stage and produce macroscopic fruiting bodies (stromata) that envelop the developing inflorescences causing a syndrome termed “choke disease”. To better understand this antagonistic association, a transcriptome analysis of fungal and plant genes was performed to compare stroma tissue and asymptomatic inflorescence tissue of Epichloë festucae infected strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra subsp. rubra). Hundreds of fungal genes and over 10% of the plant genes were differentially expressed between the two tissue types. The differentially expressed fungal genes in the stroma tissue indicated a change in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Plant stress related genes were up-regulated in the stroma tissue suggesting the plant host was responding to the normally symbiotic fungal endophyte as a pathogen.Genome and transcriptome analyses are often the first steps for gene discovery followed by gene function studies. CRISPR/Cas technology is a powerful molecular tool to genetically modify genes of interest for further functional characterization of those genes. Here CRISPR/Cas9 approach was utilized to knockout an E. festucae antifungal protein gene (Efe-afpA), whereas fungal transformation relying on homologous recombination was unsuccessful due to the lack of long and unique flanking regions of this gene. The mutants lacking the Efe-afpA gene were shown to have impaired growth in culture, and therefore, unlikely to form a symbiotic relationship by infecting and systematically colonizing its plant host, strong creeping red fescue. CRISPR/Cas9 approach is highly effective and precise compared to conventional homologous recombination approach. More importantly, the CRISPR/Cas9 approach is more versatile and is not restricted by the availability of long and unique homologous flanking regions of the target gene. CRISPR/Cas9 enables functional characterization of many more Epichloë genes to study the Epichloë–grass symbiosis.
