Resilient flood loss response systems for vulnerable populations in Mumbai
Creators: name: Chatterjee, Monalisa

Year: 2010

description: This dissertation examines different methods of sharing and redistributing flood losses borne by poor populations in Mumbai, India. It focuses on practices that are adopted to shift losses between economic classes and within specific populations at risk. It also develops a basis of knowledge about the impact of globalization on the vulnerability of poor communities in cities and calls for the development of hazard mitigation and economic assistance devices that can be applied at the micro level with a view to becoming sustainable means of reducing the burden of risks. Multiple levels of analysis are employed. Information from interviews and discussions with government officials, and other influential informants in community development and planning organizations is combined with documentary evidence, to explain the nature of socio-economic and environmental challenges experienced by different groups. This sets the context for two in-depth surveys of fifty households each in slum settlements that are severely affected by flooding. Data collected include the extent and impacts of  flooding, formal (official) mitigation methods employed and the range of informal support systems used by individual families to recover from the consequence s of floods. Results show that local loss redistribution systems are extremely diverse but significantly effective in addressing important concerns about survival that are overlooked in public policy measures. Most are not integrated into the systems of flood hazard mitigation employed by public agencies and other institutions. Household vulnerability fluctuates over time and with different stages of the hazard cycle (preparedness-recovery-reconstruction). The loss redistribution systems are strongly shaped by inherent social characteristics of local communities and changing economic factors of affected households. In conclusion the results argue that though marginalized informal population in third world cities are affected by downward pressures of ongoing socio-economic and environmental processes at different levels of society, using the same processes they sometimes develop the capability to acquire networks of support that increase the range of their alternatives of environment risk reduction. Suggestions for improving public policy in light of these findings are included.

Reducing handover latency and improving TCP performance in wireless networks
Creators: name: Chen, Beizhong

description: Modern network technologies first evolved in wired networks and subsequently entered the wireless network field. Applications may work in pure wired network, pure wireless network or hybrid network. Improving performance in these network infrastructures has been a continuous effort for decades. In this dissertation, we tackle two important challenges: (1) improving handover performance in heterogeneous wireless network, and (2) improving TCP performance in multi-hop wireless network. In heterogeneous network, users expect uninterrupted services moving from one network to another. IEEE proposed Media Independent Handover (MIH) to make it possible to achieve better handover performance. Currently, Mobile IPv4 (MIP) is the dominant mechanism for mobility management and is expected to persist into the future. However, when multiple interfaces of a mobile client are connected to a Foreign Agent (FA), MIP and its existing improvements do not perform well when the active interface fails unexpectedly. In this dissertation, we propose novel mechanism and MIP extension with MIH support. We prove experimentally that the new approach eliminates the FA-HA latency and achieves much faster handover, compared with existing mechanism. Our method also allows FA-bicasting, which can improve transmission reliability by combining traffic from different links, through the same FA. In multi-hop wireless networks, the main network factor that affects TCP performance is the medium-access contention, complicated by other factors like hidden terminal. We analyze the TCP congestion window and provide a more accurate estimate of its optimal value than those reported in the prior work. We also show that the much shorter TCP-ACK packets consume comparable channel capacity as the much longer data packets. We therefore propose two methods to improve TCP throughput, as follows. (1) Segregate the flows of data and ACK using static routing in grid wireless network, (2) Develop an improved variant of delayed TCP ACK by minimizing the number of ACK packets. Our evaluation validates the effectiveness of the proposed method, which can enhance TCP performance significantly. In terms of throughput, it achieves up to 204% improvement over the regular TCP in chain-topology wireless networks, and about 35% improvement in a complex grid wireless network. We also propose a new architecture to achieve higher throughput when multiple TCP connections exist.
Providing trustworthiness to the operation of location based services in mobile networks

description: The development of low-cost, ubiquitous, wireless systems is leading to a future where location will define the next generation of computing applications. Location Based services (LBS) use location information as the basis for providing enhanced services to a mobile user. The development of LBS is still in a relatively young stage and many questions and challenges must be addressed before a robust, secure and trustworthy LBS system can be successfully developed. This thesis takes the viewpoint that the eventual successful development of LBS can be accomplished, if the system is carefully designed and appropriate techniques are integrated. In particular, this thesis maps out three steps needed to achieve the security and trustworthiness requirement: first, identify the security policies that regulate the LBS application; second, use appropriate mechanisms to enforce the security policies; and third, put the whole system into a secure framework to prevent manipulation by unscrupulous entities participating in the service. In this thesis, we first capture the essential features of policies that regulate an LBS and formulate a security policy model. Then in order to enforce the security policies it is essential to get the accurate location information of the users. We propose to use the environmental data from embedded sensor networks to support localization and position verification, and prove its viability through experiments. Further, we present a key distribution based location verification scheme. Particularly in this part, we investigate the relationships between the transmitter deployment density, the number of keys received and the location verification accuracy. Next, we take the viewpoint that the risk of location spoofing can be bypassed when an LBS infrastructure does not rely on a localization procedure to enforce the security policies. We show how this is made possible in spatio-temporal access control applications when we use the key distribution method. Finally, we study a practical Mobile Location Based Service (MLS) and present an ultimate MLS framework and communication protocols that represent a culmination of the mechanisms we have examined in this thesis and support the primary theme of this thesis, which is that it is possible to design a secure location based service using an appropriate combination of tools.

Classification and multiple testing for microarray data
Creators: name: Cherkas, Yauheniya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This thesis aims to provide a solution to the classification and hypothesis testing problems as well as to create a tool to perform clustering, hypothesis testing or classification tasks automatically via simple menu-driven interface. Since the first appearance of microarrays in 1995, they became a technique for large gene expression screening worldwide. The quantity of data generated from microarray experiments is enormous, requiring new careful methods of analysis of these high-dimensional data. One of the problems encountered when dealing with this type of data is overfitting. Overfitting happens when information selected is related to the condition of interest only by chance.  This thesis consists of four major parts. The first part contains the overview of microarray methodology and current techniques applied to analyze gene expression data. The second part uses partial least squares themed idea to develop the algorithm where one can control the FDR (false discovery rate) to extract differentially expressed genes in the analysis of gene expression data. The above procedure can be either used separately or as a part of the scheme where it provides weights that can be used together with another selection method or as a part of ensemble.  The third part of the thesis deals with the problem of comparing several treatments to the control. In the setting where one wants to find a ‘bump’ in measurements of several groups, the test statistic is considered that is based on maximum and minimum of the group mean differences. Then the derived distribution of a proposed test statistic can be used to make inferences. The fourth part describes the software developed to provide a menu-driven computing environment for data manipulation and analysis. It includes different methods that can be used to compare expression profiles of genes and methods for gene clustering and various visualization and exploration.

Molecular mechanisms of cytotoxicity induced by ribosome-inactivating proteins in mammalian cells
Creators: name: Cheng, Ju-Shun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP) represent a family of plant and bacterial toxins that inhibit protein synthesis and are cytotoxic to mammalian cells. Ricin is isolated from seeds of the castor bean plant and has potential as a weapon of bioterrorism. Shiga-like toxins (stx) are produced from enterohemorrahagic Escherichia coli strains, and contamination of food by stx represents a substantial public health threat. Both ricin and stx consist of A and B chains. The A-chain of each protein inactivates the ribosome by cleaving an adenine from the ribosomal RNA. The B-chain of ricin (RTB) binds to galactose binding sites on the cell surface while the pentameric B subunit of stx binds to the cell surface receptor, globotriaosylceramide to facilitate cell entry. While both ricin and stx inhibit protein synthesis and induce cell death, the molecular mechanisms that underlie these effects are relatively unexplored. An ultimate goal of this research is to produce recombinant mutant ricin A-chain (RTA) proteins to study the role of protein synthesis inhibition in ricin-induced cytotoxicity. Therefore, we were interested in establishing a mammalian cell culture model that was sensitive to RTA alone. The cell line MAC-T, an immortalized, nontransformed epithelial cell line, was more sensitive than Vero cells and HeLa cells in terms of the time it took to induce caspase-3/7 activation. While ricin induced higher caspase-3/7 activity than RTA at lower concentrations (0.1 to 10 ng/ml), similar caspase activation was observed at concentrations of 0.1 µg/ml with either protein. Ribosome depurination, protein synthesis inhibition, and apoptosis were observed in MAC-T cells treated with RTA alone. RTA alone also induced JNK and p38 MAP kinase activation in a time- and concentration-dependent manner that preceded apoptosis. Inhibition of the JNK pathway by chemical inhibitors or small interfering RNA reduced RTA-induced apoptosis. In contrast, inhibition of the p38 MAP kinase pathway had little effect on RTA-induced apoptosis.  In summary, the major findings of this research are the establishment of the MAC-T cell line as a sensitive cell culture model for future study of ricin and the finding that the JNK pathway plays a major role in RTA-induced cytotoxicity.

The relationships between personality, gratitude, and psychological well-being
Creators: name: Chiong, Angela

description: Separate studies have shown relationships between personality and well-being as well as between gratitude and well-being. More recently, a few studies have examined personality, gratitude, and well-being in concert.  One question that has been overlooked, however, is if gratitude might serve as a mediator between personality and psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to explore if the relationship between personality and psychological well-being might be mediated by gratitude. Two hundred twenty-four college students enrolled in an introductory psychology course in a large, mid-Atlantic public university participated in our study. A shortened version of the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10; Rammstedt & John, 2007) was used to measure five personality characteristics: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. The Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (GQ-6; McCullough, Emmons, & Tsang, 2002) was used to measure gratitude. Lastly, Ryff’s (1989) 84-item inventory was used to measure overall Psychological Well-Being (PWB) and its six dimensions: Autonomy, Environmental Mastery, Personal Growth, Positive Relations with Others, Purpose in Life, and Self-Acceptance. Multiple regression analyses indicated that gratitude fully mediated the relationship between gender and overall PWB as well as the relationship between the personality characteristic Agreeableness and overall PWB.  Multiple regression analyses also indicated that gratitude partially mediated the relationship between the personality characteristic Extraversion and overall PWB. Gratitude was also found to fully or partially mediate the relationships between Extraversion and Agreeableness and some of the dimensions of PWB.  Implications for further research are discussed.
The impact of social subordination on stress reactivity and cognitive abilities in CD-1 outbred mice

description: Imposed social subordination, such as that acquired through defeat or alienation, has been shown to negatively impact cognitive performance in both human and animal populations. In the present study we examined whether domain-specific and/or domain- general learning abilities (c.f. general intelligence) are differentially influenced by the imposition of social subordination. Further, we examined whether any observable differences in learning abilities were the direct result of subordination or if they represented deficits which are intrinsically expressed in individuals that are innately disposed to subordination.       Subordinate and dominant behaviors were assessed in two groups of CD-1 male mice. In one group (IMP), social stratification occurred prior to the assessment of learning abilities, while in a second group (INN), this assessment occurred after learning abilities were measured. Domain-specific learning abilities were measured as performance on individual learning tasks while domain-general learning abilities were measured as the aggregate performance across a battery of learning tasks.  We found that the imposition of subordination decreases exploratory tendencies and to some degree affects domain-specific learning performance. However, the most staggering results came in our analysis of general learning abilities whereby we observed that subjects who assumed a submissive role prior to the assessment of cognitive function were severely impaired. Similar decrements were not seen in subjects that were determined to be subordinate after learning had been assessed. The latter finding indicates that absent the imposition of subordination, individuals with subordinate tendencies do not demonstrate learning impairments. This observation could have important ramifications for those who suffer bullying in school or workplace settings.
Understanding graphs with two independent variables

description: Adults are not necessarily competent users of graphs with two independent variables, despite the frequency of this representational format. The three tasks in this thesis address the impact of interpretation statements and graph patterns. Interpretation statements were based on the statistical effects – simple effects, main effects, and interactions. Graph patterns were systematically varied based on a novel classification scheme of graphs with two IVs. I suggest that the complexity of a graph’s data pattern depends on the consistency of the simple effects’ directions and magnitudes. In the first study, undergraduates constructed graphs based on statements about data patterns. Errors reflected a misunderstanding of how two IVs could be combined and represented graphically. When the experimental group had graph-relevant information added (variable labels spatially located on axes), the ability to represent the relationships among the IVs significantly increased. The ability to satisfy the constraints imposed by the statements was not affected. Adding labels specifically targeted skills relevant to graphical literacy. Transfer to a third trial was stronger for those of higher math abilities. The second study focused on the effect of an introductory statistics course. Overall, undergraduates performed well on statements describing the simple effects of the IVs. However, even though they improved from Time 1 to Time 2 for interaction statements, performance on statements about main effects and interactions still showed considerable room for improvement. In the third study, repeated trials of the 20 patterns proposed by the simple effects consistency model established that the proposed classification scheme addresses additional sources of variability in reasoning with graphs (i.e., sources not captured by traditional classification schemes). As the complexity level of the data pattern increased, performance (based on accuracy and RT) decreased, with parallel impacts on performance for each IV’s complexity. This suggests that participants responded to conceptual differences among the levels, as the graph’s perceptual characteristics vary based on the IV. Further development of a model organizing graph patterns will allow investigation of the interplay between the statement and graph pattern. In turn, this can lead to greater understanding of the graphical reasoning processes and improvements in graphical literacy.

Scenario decomposition of risk-averse stochastic optimization problems
Creators: name: Collado, Ricardo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: In the last decade the theory of coherent risk measures established itself as an alternative to expected utility models of risk averse preferences in stochastic optimization. Recently, increased attention is paid to dynamic measures of risk, which allow for risk-averse evaluation of streams of costs or rewards.  When used in  stochastic optimization models, dynamic risk measures lead to a new class of problems, which are significantly more complex than their risk-neutral counterparts. Decomposition, an established and efficient approach to risk-neutral multistage stochastic optimization problems,  cannot be directly applied to risk-averse models. With dynamic risk measures, the main feature facilitating decomposition, the integral form of the objective function, is absent. Our main objective is to overcome this difficulty by exploiting specific structure of dynamic risk measures, and to develop new decomposition methods that extend the ideas of earlier approaches to risk-neutral problems.    In this work we develop  generalizations of  scenario decomposition methods, in the spirit of J.M. Mulvey and A. Ruszczynski, "A new scenario decomposition method for large-scale stochastic optimization'" Operations Research 43, 1995. The key to success is the use of dual properties of dynamic measures of risk to construct a family of risk-neutral approximations of the problem. First, we define and analyze a two-stage risk-averse stochastic optimization problem. Next,  we develop methods to solve efficiently this problem. Later, we formally define a multistage risk-averse stochastic optimization problem and we discuss its properties. We also develop  efficient methods to solve the multistage problem and apply these to an inventory planning and assembly problem. Finally, we analyze and compare the results of our computational experiments.

description: In response to community concerns about dusty conditions in the Waterfront South area of Camden, NJ, andspecific concerns that the nearby St. Lawrence/Holcim facility was a major contributor to these conditions, astudy was undertaken to examine the contribution of that facility to dust deposition in the Waterfront Southarea. A composite sample of material was collected from the exposed piles at the facility and outdoor dustdeposition and surface wipe samples were collected at multiple locations during two periods for a total of 52days within a distance of 800 m of the facility as well as at a control location 2 km from the facility. Dust masswas examined as a function of distance from the facility, and the source material from the facility was comparedto the community dust samples on the basis of elemental concentration (particularly calcium) andelemental ratios. In addition, a chemical mass-balance model was created that attempted to account for theelemental signature of the source material from the facility against the background of elemental occurrence inurban dust. Also, facility-wide deposition modeling was conducted using operations data supplied by thefacility. Several independent lines of evidence point to a contribution from the facility of 2-13% with a mostlikely contribution in the range of 2-8% of the total dust material in the community at a distance of up to about0.5 km. Both stack and fugitive emissions contribute to the facility’s overall dust emissions. However, fugitiveemissions appear to be the larger source. This study was specifically focused on identifying the extant towhich the St. Lawrence/Holcim facility contributed to the dust deposition in Waterfront South. It did notattempt to identify other contribution to the dust deposition. However, from other studies in the scientificliterature in other locations, it appears that soil, and automotive use and wear (including tire wear) are majorsources of urban dust.

description: Heavy metals are present in a variety of products and can be released during product life cycles. The concentrationof metals in municipal solid waste (MSW) reflects the amount of metals in products and is directlyrelated to the amount of metals transferred to disposal sites. Measured monthly mean concentrations ofcadmium, lead, and mercury in the ash from May 1995 through October 2007 at the Essex County, NJ incineratorand from May 2004 through November 2007 at the Warren County, NJ incinerator were used, along withair emissions data for mercury, to estimate the content of these metals in MSW. Estimated mean concentrationand 95% confidence limits for cadmium in MSW at the Essex and Warren facilities, respectively, were17.4±0.1 and 10.1±1.2 ppm. For lead, the corresponding values were 408±41 and 239±42 ppm, and for mercury,they were 2.6±0.2 and 0.9±0.2 ppm. A trend of increasing cadmium concentrations was found at bothfacilities. No change vs. time was observed in lead concentrations. Mercury concentration was found to bedecreasing over time at the Essex facility.

description: Geospatial data sources include data collected by the public sector (i.e., government), private sector (i.e., industry), or through field work. Of these categories, the private sector, especially through tech firms, has provided new types of cutting-edge data sets that are particularly large and novel. These include data from social media platforms and location-based technologies such as Global Positioning Systems and mobile phones. Here, we explore the extent to which peer-reviewed geospatial research has adopted these data sources, perhaps in lieu of more traditional data types. We review peer-reviewed journal articles from six flagship journals in geographic information systems, geography, and urban analytics that publish research that uses spatial data analysis. We find that geospatial researchers continue to rely on government-collected data for their research, but that researchers’ use of data from the private sector have increased in recent years. This finding implies that as spatial analysis studies increasingly rely on private data sets, we should revisit (1) how industry data collection faces fewer regulations on data quality and has different motivations for their collection, (2) how this affects our ability to trust our data sets, and (3) the role of government and field work in data collection and dissemination in the future.
