description: The Analysis of the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) Lagrangians started in Part I is continued, presenting measurements of sea surface temperature, surface latent and sensible heat fluxes from bulk aerodynamic formulas, cloud fraction, and drizzle rate for the two Lagrangians, mainly using data from horizontal legs flown by the Electra and C130. Substantial drizzle, averaging 1 mm day−1 at the surface, was measured during the first Lagrangian. The surface fluxes increased rapidly as the air mass advected over rapidly increasing SST. Cloud fraction remained high throughout. During the second Lagrangian, drizzle formed in the stratocumulus layer but mainly evaporated in the deep, dry cumulus layer and the subcloud layer before reaching the surface. Stratocumulus cloud cover was thickest when moist air lay above the inversion and then it dissipated to leave only cumuli once dry air advected over the inversion. Three methods are compared for determining entrainment rate (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts analyses of mean vertical motion, calculation of a water budget, and the ozone flux–jump method). While all three methods have significant uncertainties, their predictions are all consistent with an entrainment rate of 0.7 ± 0.3 cm s−1 for the first Lagrangian and 0.6 ± 0.3 cm s−1 for the second Lagrangian. Corresponding estimates of the time-dependent horizontal divergence are also presented. Estimates of the cumulus mass flux, internal mixing time, and entrainment dilution time for the boundary layers observed during the two Lagrangians are also presented.

description: This paper compares different exact approaches to solve the Discrete Ordered Median Problem (DOMP). In recent years, DOMP has been formulated using set packing constraints giving rise to one of its most promising formulations. The use of this family of constraints, known as strong order constraints (SOC), has been validated in the literature by its theoretical properties and because their linear relaxation provides very good lower bounds. Furthermore, embedded in branch-and-cut or branch-price-and-cut procedures as valid inequalities, they allow one to improve computational aspects of solution methods such as CPU time and use of memory. In spite of that, the above mentioned formulations require to include another family of order constraints, e.g., the weak order constraints (WOC), which leads to coefficient matrices with elements other than {0,1}. In this work, we develop a new approach that does not consider extra families of order constraints and furthermore relaxes SOC -- in a branch-and-cut procedure that does not start with a complete formulation -- to add them iteratively using row generation techniques to certify feasibility and optimality. Exhaustive computational experiments show that it is advisable to use row generation techniques in order to only consider {0,1}-coefficient matrices modeling the DOMP. Moreover, we test how to exploit the problem structure. Implementing an efficient separation of SOC using callbacks improves the solution performance. This allows us to deal with bigger instances than using fixed cuts/constraints pools automatically added by the solver in the branch-and-cut for SOC, concerning both the formulation based on WOC and the row generation procedure.

description: This was my Fall Junior Paper, written in 2005 in partial satisfaction of the degree requirements for the Princeton Physics Dept.  Abstract: Studies of evolutionary population genetics have long overlooked asexual organisms for historical reasons. Experiments in bacterial populations begun in recent decades now offer extensive data, but theoretical models have only recently begun to address such populations. Here we develop a theoretical background for population genetics of asexual populations and then apply it to exploring a phenomenon unique to such organisms known as clonal interference. By examining two separate papers on the topic we discover that the phenomenon can occur through two separate mechanisms of interference, and what parameter values (regimes) correspond to what mechanisms. Based on our theoretical development we also identify difficulties in the models described by each paper. Additionally, we develop a simulation to further explore the dynamics of the second mechanism.

description: This is my senior thesis, performed in the Princeton Physics Department, 2007, as part of my Bachelor's.  Abstract: In this paper we present the derivation of macroscopic equations governing forest populations and use these to explore and understand interspecies interactions. Traditionally, complex numerical models have been used to to predict the behavior of forest populations from the behavior of individual trees. We explore the possible consequences of interspecies interaction, including an analysis of several mechanisms for coexistence of different species. Using the macroscopic equations we also reproduce the process of ecological succession and demonstrate how it can enable coexistence of different species whenever these species differ by a minimum distance in trait-space.

description: This study relies on the contrastive approach, which represents one of the modern domains within the field of linguistics. The research aims to elucidate the concept of this approach, distinguish it from the comparative approach, and outline its objectives, which are based on contrasting two distinct languages. Among these objectives is the comparison at one of the four linguistic levels—specifically the phonological level—applied to consonants between Arabic and English. The purpose is to identify points of similarity and divergence between the two languages, highlight the most prominent challenges, and predict the difficulties that learners may encounter due to these differences. Subsequently, the study seeks to propose solutions to these challenges, clarify errors, and overcome obstacles for non-Arabic speakers. It also emphasizes the effective role that contrastive analysis plays as a fundamental pillar of applied linguistics in the context of teaching Arabic. Furthermore, it explores how phonological issues between the two languages can be addressed and the mechanisms provided by contrastive analysis to enable learners to comprehend the language more smoothly and effectively.

description: This was my Spring Junior Paper, written in 2006 in partial satisfaction of the Bachelor's degree requirements for the Princeton Physics Dept. Abstract:  In this paper we provide an introduction to the field of Adaptive Dynamics. We present derivations for two of the fundamental components of the theory: “canonical equation” and the classification of singular strategies. We supplement the existing theory with a derivation of the variance associated with the canonical equation. We then consider a common ecological model (an instance of the logistic equation) that has been used to explore branching in the context of Adaptive Dynamics. We show that the branching properties of this model are maintained in a much more general form of which the familiar example is a particular instance. We then determine the expected evolutionary trajectory of a population in this model using the canonical equation, and find the associated variance of this trajectory. We also examine the stability of the dimorphic, branched population. Having determined each of these components analytically, we then confirm these predictions by implementing a model using an individual-based stochastic simulation.
Synoptic-Scale Meteorological Variability and Surface Ozone Concentrations in Vancouver, British Columbia.

description: The Lower Fraser Valley of British Columbia is currently experiencing rapid population growth and episodically suffers elevated oxidant concentrations, the frequency of which is linked to meteorological conditions on the synoptic scale. This study is a first step toward developing and validating a methodology for “declimatizing” air quality data so that postulated effects of changing emissions patterns can be addressed. Principal component analysis of gridded fields at three atmospheric levels (sea level–reduced surface pressure, 850-mb height, and 500-mb height) yields four principal components (or modes of the atmospheric circulation) that account for over 83% of geophysical dataset variance. Daily component scores from these components are used as independent parameters in a region equation of the daily maximum ozone concentrations at a site (Rocky Point Park) in Vancouver over five summers (1984–88, inclusive). The coefficients in this equation are used to construct another algorithm that is used to predict maximum daily ozone concentrations at this site during the summers of 1989–92 on the basis of synoptic-scale meteorology. The algorithm correctly predicts the low frequency of ozone episodes in the July 1989–July 1992 period but cannot account for the reduction in daily maximum ozone concentrations on nonexceedance days at Rocky Point Park over this period. The implications of these findings are that during the summers of 1989–92 meteorological conditions on the synoptic scale were not conducive to the occurrence of ozone exceedances but that the reduction in average daily maximum ozone concentrations cannot be accounted for on the basis of synoptic-scale meteorological variability as parameterized by the component scores.

description: Key Findings -Changes in district level crop productivity among smallholder farmers have strong and positive lagged multi-year effects on the own-farm incomes of rural households in that district. -This impact is especially true for productivity changes among (a) the highest productivity farms in each district, and (b) smallholder farms cultivating >2 hectares. -There is also some evidence of a similar effect on total income, however this effect is not as robust. -Overall, the least robust set of results are between district-level crop productivity and off-farm household incomes, suggesting that some of the recent critiques of the small farm-led multiplier effect hypothesis mentioned earlier for the African context may be valid. -However, we do find tentative evidence (interpreted with caution due to their lack of significance in the robustness checks) that smaller farm productivity (<2 hectares) indirectly raises off-farm incomes.

The effect of landscape structure on butterfly movement in power line rights-of-ways
Creators: name: Lehtomäki, Joona
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Ecology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: MSc Thesis Power line rights-of-ways (ROW) serve as an important alternative habitat for many dwindling meadow and grassland butterflies. Power line ROWs may also provide important dispersal corridors between different subpopulations through otherwise closed landscapes, which is crucial for the long term viability of the whole metapopulation. The relatively large amount of land area utilised as power line rights-of-ways in Finland and internationally further
elaborates their importance as alternative habitats especially for endangered species.
The aim of this study was to determine how dispersal – key element in metapopulation dynamics – of the target butterfly species Small Pearl-Bordered fritillary (Boloria selene) is affected by the heterogeneous landscape structure in the study area (a power line ROW). A mechanistic spatially explicit diffusion model was used to quantify individuals’ preference for different habitats as well as their mobility, mortality and capture probability in different habitats. The diffusion model fitted with the mark-recapture-data collected from the study area was also used to simulate
how different alteration in the target power line ROW would affect the movement of B. selene. I conducted the mark-recapture -study between 21st of June and 27th of July in summer of 2004, during which time a total of 394 individuals was marked. Out of these individuals 128 (32 %) were recaptured at least once. More males were both marked (236 ♂ / 158 ♀) and recaptured (89 ♂ / 39 ♀) than females. B. selene individuals were most abundant in the actual habitat patches, but also migrated readily between patches along the power line ROW. Practically no individuals were encountered inside closed forests. Parameter estimates for the diffusion model confirmed many of the observations made in the field. Both sexes strongly prefer actual habitat patches over other open areas. Parameter estimates describing mobility inside a given habitat type showed that inside the actual habitat patches males move more while in the matrix habitat females tend to have greater mobility. Mortality was higher in actual habitat patches for females and in the matrix habitat for males. General capture probability was deemed to be higher for males. Landscape simulations based on the estimated posterior distributions of the diffusion model parameters indicated that alterations in the structure of the landscape in certain key locations may indeed have a profound effect on how butterfly individuals are able to move about in the landscape and how the metapopulation may persist in time. In future biologically based quantitative data should be better incorporated in power line ROW management schemes in order to maximize their suitability as a living environment for especially endangered species of butterflies.
title: Kakadu as an Aboriginal place
title: tourism and the construction of Kakadu National Park
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Palmer, Lisa Rebecca
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2001

description: In this thesis I ask 'What kind of place is tourism creating in Kakadu National Park?' For the non-Aboriginal public, tourism is an activity that constructs a particular reading of the region, one that is predicated on access to the National Park. In tourism discourse, Kakadu is portrayed largely as an unspoilt wilderness with an Aboriginal past, rather than a present. This discourse imposes non-Aboriginal readings of the landscape as the dominant interpretation of Kakadu National Park. From the perspective of its Aboriginal traditional owners, Kakadu is an Aboriginal place. This assertion challenges the dominant discourse of nature-based tourism, as it means that all land, resources, and intellectual property in the region are owned and interacted with according to an ontological perspective which is completely different to Western ideas about the self and about human relationships with nature. In this thesis I examine the 'commonsense' ideas that non-Aboriginal Park users express about nature and Aborigines, and the historical power of these ideas to marginalise Aboriginal standpoints. I also examine local Aboriginal understandings of Kakadu, wherein place is constructed through a broad range of social relationships set within an Aboriginal system of authority. The thesis concludes that, through various processes, this Aboriginal understanding of place becomes submerged beneath an understanding of Kakadu as a discrete tract of land to be used and managed according to Western principles of conservation and resource use. Nevertheless, I find that by continuing to assert that Kakadu is an Aboriginal place, Aboriginal people in the Park are contesting the domination of non-Aboriginal readings of their homelands. Aboriginal traditional owners are initiating their own style of tourism and are slowly working with the potential that tourism offers to change the relationships of power and tell their own stories, in their own way, about Kakadu as an Aboriginal place.

description: Imitation Learning (IL), also referred to as Learning from Demonstration (LfD), holds significant promise for capturing expert motor skills through efficient imitation, facilitating adept navigation of complex scenarios. A persistent challenge in IL lies in extending generalization from historical demonstrations, enabling the acquisition of new skills without re-teaching. Dynamical system-based IL (DSIL) emerges as a significant subset of IL methodologies, offering the ability to learn trajectories via movement primitives and policy learning based on experiential abstraction. This paper emphasizes the fusion of theoretical paradigms, integrating control theory principles inherent in dynamical systems into IL. This integration notably enhances robustness, adaptability, and convergence in the face of novel scenarios. This survey aims to present a comprehensive overview of DSIL methods, spanning from classical approaches to recent advanced approaches. We categorize DSIL into autonomous dynamical systems and non-autonomous dynamical systems, surveying traditional IL methods with low-dimensional input and advanced deep IL methods with high-dimensional input. Additionally, we present and analyze three main stability methods for IL: Lyapunov stability, contraction theory, and diffeomorphism mapping. Our exploration also extends to popular policy improvement methods for DSIL, encompassing reinforcement learning, deep reinforcement learning, and evolutionary strategies.

description: The feasibility of sequential open-boundary control by data assimilation in a regional ocean model has been investigated using a barotropic wind-driven ocean circulation model. A simple open-boundary scheme has been constructed based on the idea of optimal boundary control of a diagnostic equation and illustrated with the problem of modeling the subpolar gyre subject to an open southern boundary. The results show that use of such a scheme in conjunction with traditional radiation boundary conditions allows for a longer model integration that would otherwise be unstable when only the radiation boundary conditions are imposed due to presence of dispersive waves.

description: A method that enables an industrial robot to accomplish the peg-in-hole task for holes in concrete is proposed. The proposed method involves slightly detaching the peg from the wall, when moving between search positions, to avoid the negative influence of the concrete's high friction coefficient. It uses a deep neural network (DNN), trained via reinforcement learning, to effectively find holes with variable shape and surface finish (due to the brittle nature of concrete) without analytical modeling or control parameter tuning. The method uses displacement of the peg toward the wall surface, in addition to force and torque, as one of the inputs of the DNN. Since the displacement increases as the peg gets closer to the hole (due to the chamfered shape of holes in concrete), it is a useful parameter for inputting in the DNN. The proposed method was evaluated by training the DNN on a hole 500 times and attempting to find 12 unknown holes. The results of the evaluation show the DNN enabled a robot to find the unknown holes with average success rate of 96.1% and average execution time of 12.5 seconds. Additional evaluations with random initial positions and a different type of peg demonstrate the trained DNN can generalize well to different conditions. Analyses of the influence of the peg displacement input showed the success rate of the DNN is increased by utilizing this parameter. These results validate the proposed method in terms of its effectiveness and applicability to the construction industry.

description: Fixation of structural parts to concrete is a repetitive, heavy-duty, and time-consuming task that requires automation due to the lack of skilled construction workers. Previously developed automation techniques have not achieved the complete fixation of structural parts and are difficult to implement in narrow construction environments. In this study, we propose a construction robot system that enables the complete installation of structural parts to concrete and can be easily introduced to unstructured and narrow construction environments. The system includes two arms that simultaneously position and fix the structural parts, and custom tools that reduce the reaction force applied to the robots so that smaller robots can be used with lower payloads. Due to the modular design of the proposed system, it can be transported in parts for easy introduction to the construction environment. We also propose a procedure for fixing structural parts. Experimental results demonstrate that the custom tools make it possible to use smaller robots without moment overload in the robot joints. Moreover, the results show that the proposed robot system and fixation procedure enable automatic fixation of a structural part to concrete.

description: In the era of rapid digital communication, vast amounts of textual data are generated daily, demanding efficient methods for latent content analysis to extract meaningful insights. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer potential for automating this process, yet comprehensive assessments comparing their performance to human annotators across multiple dimensions are lacking.This study evaluates the inter-rater reliability, consistency, and quality of seven state-of-the-art LLMs.These include variants of OpenAI’sGPT-4,Gemini, Llama-3.1-70B, and Mixtral 8×7B.Their performance is compared to human annotators in analyzing sentiment, political leaning, emotional intensity, and sarcasm detection.The study involved 33 human annotators and eight LLM variants assessing 100 curated textual items.This resulted in 3,300 human and 19,200 LLM annotations. LLM performance was also evaluated across three-time points to measure temporal consistency.The results reveal that both humans and most LLMs exhibit high inter-rater reliability in sentiment analysis and political leaning assessments, with LLMs demonstrating higher reliability than humans. In emotional intensity, LLMs displayed higher reliability compared to humans, though humans rated emotional intensity significantly higher. Both groups struggled with sarcasm detection, evidenced by low reliability. Most LLMs showed excellent temporal consistency across all dimensions, indicating stable performance over time.This research concludes that LLMs, especiallyGPT-4, can effectively replicate human analysis in sentiment and political leaning, although human expertise remains essential for emotional intensity interpretation.The findings demonstrate the potential of LLMs for consistent and high-quality performance in certain areas of latent content analysis.

description: Out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization has attracted increasing research attention in recent years, due to its promising experimental results in real-world applications. In this paper,we study the confidence set prediction problem in the OOD generalization setting. Split conformal prediction (SCP) is an efficient framework for handling the confidence set prediction problem. However, the validity of SCP requires the examples to be exchangeable, which is violated in the OOD setting. Empirically, we show that trivially applying SCP results in a failure to maintain the marginal coverage when the unseen target domain is different from the source domain. To address this issue, we develop a method for forming confident prediction sets in the OOD setting and theoretically prove the validity of our method. Finally, we conduct experiments on simulated data to empirically verify the correctness of our theory and the validity of our proposed method.

Field and laboratory evaluation of the effects of C: N manipulation on culture of Penaeus monodon shrimp with zero and limited water exchange model
Creators: name: Panjaitan, Pohan
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: One of the main obstacles to development of intensive aquaculture is the accumulation of toxic inorganic nitrogen which should be kept very low by frequent water exchange or recycling of the water through a biofilter. This thesis describes another method of removing inorganic nitrogen pioneered by Avnimelech et al. (1988;1989;1992a;1994) and Avnimelech (1999) using heterotrophic bacteria population of which was augmented by the addition of a carbonaceous substance, molasses, to increase the feed C:N ratio under both field and laboratory conditions The principal aims of this field and laboratory studies were (1) to investigate the water quality and production variables in shrimp culture of zero water exchange model (ZWEM) and limited water exchange model (LWEM) using molasses, (2) to establish correlation C:N ratio level with levels of ammonia, nitrite, dissolved oxygen, pH and shrimp growth in shrimp farming of ZWEM and L WEM. The study was also designed to experimentally evaluate (1) effect of molasses application frequency on water quality and production variables in shrimp culture of ZWEM, (2) effect of stocking density on water quality and production variables in shrimp culture of ZWEM using molasses as a carbon source and (3) effect of reducing conventional feeding rate on water quality and production variables in shrimp culture of ZWEM using molasses as a carbon resource. It was found that: 1. Addition of molasses to shrimp farming with ZWEM and ZWEM tended to have role in removing ammonia and nitrite. Also, application of molasses to laboratory tanks increased the population of heterotrophic bacteria and concentrations of total suspended solids, but led to a reduction in levels of ammonia, nitrite and dissolved oxygen, pH and chlorophyll a. 2. Treatment with molasses and limited water exchange (5 % weekly) was more effectives in the removal of inorganic nitrogen those that of molasses and zero water exchange. 3. Laboratory experiments showed that molasses added to give a C:N ratio level of 20.0:1 (in shrimp culture of zero water exchange model); 17.5:1 (in limited water exchange model ; 5 % fortnightly) and 15.0:1 (in limited water exchange model; 5% weekly) was the most effective in terms of in the removal of inorganic nitrogen and shrimp production variables. 4. Frequency of molasses application once a day with C:N ratio level of 20.0:1 was the best in shrimp culture with ZWEM 5. Laboratory studies have shown that ZWEM with the addition of molasses to give C: N ratio level of 20.0:1 could only work when stocking density was 30 shrimp m-1. The results pose many questions for future investigations.

description: A high density CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ bulk sample was successfully synthesized using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The density of the synthesized sample was 5.02 g cm$^{-3}$, corresponding to 96.2% of the theoretical density of CaKFe$_4$As$_4$. Moreover, a reasonably high Vickers hardness of 1 GPa was measured. The electrical resistivity of the SPS bulk sample was as low as approximately 600 $μΩ$ cm at 300 K, which is smaller than that of the ordinary sintered polycrystalline sample by nearly one order of magnitude, and exhibited a sharp superconducting transition, with the transition width $Δ\textit{T}_c$ less than 2 K, indicating an improved grain connectivity. The critical current density of the SPS bulk sample, as calculated from the magnetization hysteresis loops (magnetic $\textit{J}_c$), reached 18 kA cm$^{-2}$ at 4.2 K under 5 T, which is the highest among the iron-based superconductor polycrystalline samples reported thus far.

description: Therapeutics Letter 10 examines dose titration and the problems with using product monographs when considering the appropriate introductory doses for medications. Conclusions: For those patients who do not require an immediate response (hypertension, NIDDM, osteoarthritis, hyperlipidemia), start with a dose that is a 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended starting dose in the Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties (CPS). Due to unpredictable responses in individual patients, the initial prescription for almost all drugs should be roughly 1-2 weeks to prevent unnecessary wastage in the patient who cannot tolerate the drug. The duration of subsequent prescriptions should be based on the need for future follow up.
