Cyclorhipidion impar

description: Cyclorhipidion impar (Eggers, 1927) comb. nov.
Xyleborus impar Eggers, 1927b: 89.
Remarks. The males of most xyleborines are much smaller than the females, weakly sclerotized, with reduced eyes and non-functional hind wings. However, in a few genera, e.g. Cyclorhipidion, this is not the case. The males of Cyclorhipidion can be recognised by their relatively large size, well-sclerotized body, and characteristic habitus. The head is large, semiprognathous, the mandibles large and powerful, but the eyes and antennae reduced in size relative to the female. The pronotum is elongate, usually as long as or longer than the elytra, widest in the anterior quarter, the sides straight or slightly emarginate, the posterior angles rounded, convex dorsally without an impression anteriorly, nor a median projection of the anterior margin. The elytra are relatively short, rounded posteriorly, the declivity convex without distinct sculpture. The protibiae are curved with a row of strong, socketed teeth on the outer margin extending almost to the base. The description of Xyleborus impar indicates that it clearly possesses the characteristics of Cyclorhipidion males, and the species is here transferred to that genus. The female of C. impar is likely to have been described under a different name. However, males of the great majority of species of Cyclorhipidion are still unknown, and male and female need to be collected in association for a definite association to be made.
Distribution. Philippines.

Cyclorhipidion inaequale

description: Cyclorhipidion inaequale (Schedl, 1934) comb. nov.
Xyleborus inaequalis Schedl, 1934: 87.
Remarks. An image of the lectotype (NHMW) was examined. The species is transferred to Cyclorhipidion because of the following characteristics: most of body covered with dense pubescence and very abundant minute punctures; elytral disc with confused interstrial punctures; pronotum and elytra rounded, with no conspicuous edges or carinas; visible scutellum; contiguous procoxae; and lack of mycangial tufts. C. inaequale is very similar in form to C. pelliculosum (Eichhoff, 1878) and C. inarmatum (Eggers, 1923) (Schedl 1934).
Distribution. Indonesia (Java), Singapore.

A multi-pronged assault on new physics at the large hadron collider
Creators: name: Park, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: With the completion of Run I at the Large Hadron Collider, the primary directive of the high energy phenomenology community now lies in evaluating the lessons learned in order to formulate an optimal strategy for potential discoveries in Run II. Given the challenges to our theoretical biases presented by Run I, we argue for an approach to Run II that makes minimal assumptions about what new physics may lie at the electroweak scale outside of what has already been discovered. The overwhelming evidence for a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass of approximately 125 GeV is undoubtedly of central importance for our considerations.    The first section of this dissertation focuses on developing a model independent strategy for parameterizing theories of new physics by the possible decay topologies of heavy new particle states. Connections between this parameterization and theories like supersymmetry are also detailed. The second section focuses on exploring the newly discovered Higgs sector for possible non-Standard Model-like behavior. This includes the search for additional Higgs doublets as well signs of potential flavor violation induced by the Higgs sector. The final section is dedicated to new methods for extracting theoretical parameters from decay topologies that arise in a wide range of possible theories of physics beyond the Standard Model.
A reflection on the sounds of color and light and room of colors
Creators: name: Park, Yoon Kyung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: There have been many compositional attempts to correlate color with music since the end of 19th century. These idiosyncratic attempts ranged from simple artistic metaphor as a compositional process to a phenomenon of involuntary experiences known as synesthesia. Alexander Scriabin added “clavier à lumières” (keyboard with lights) to his orchestral piece Prometheus: The Poem of Fire, Op. 60 (1910) to present his vision of color-music correspondence. Olivier Messiaen applied his synesthetic ability through color chords based on his modes of limited transposition in Couleurs de la cité céleste (Colors of the Celestial City, 1963). Unsuk Chin, a Korean composer widely acclaimed in Europe, expressed the characters of light in Rocaná (Room of Light, 2008) by exploring the different sound effects of each instrumental group. Following an introduction to synesthesia, including the criteria for identifying the phenomenon and a discussion of synesthetic composers, these three works, and my composition “Room of Colors” for orchestra (2012), will be examined as illustrations of the inclusion of color and light in compositional processes.

Reshaping the frame
Creators: name: Pascuzzi, Francesco
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: My project applies different theoretical approaches in the field of identity theory to the study of four female characters from two Italian and two European films, which all experience, in different and idiosyncratic ways, a process of identity reshaping. The representation of identity and that of the individual have been often simplified and even trivialized in film. Moreover, the two often come to overlap rather conveniently and become one and the same. Current scholarships in gender studies, psychology and philosophy have widely embraced theories of identity as agency and performance, while I argue that the study of film gives an insight into a critical distinction between performance and identity as two separate, oftentimes conflicting notions, altogether reframing the critical discourse on the subject matter.     I start by tracing the theme of female identity in Italian film culture from the ‘60s to the present day; I briefly look at different representations in which the notion of personal identity has been framed and contextualized. I also outline the inevitable boundaries of the cinematic medium vis-à-vis the filmic representation of identity. I then move onto describing two main instances of identity reshaping that are used to analyze the characters.    In the second and third chapters, I discuss two characters whose process of reshaping features or is characterized by an outstanding physical manifestation, causing one’s body to be altered in ways that might seem bizarre or extreme or even ego-dystonic: Sonia in Matteo Garrone’s Primo Amore (2004), based on Marco Mariolini’s autobiography Il Cacciatore di Anoressiche (1997), and Agrado in Pedro Almodóvar’s All About My Mother (1999).     In the fourth and fifth chapters, I look at two characters whose journey of reshaping does not necessarily have an immediate physical manifestation, but is rather actuated internally and concerns chiefly the character’s mind and emotional realm. At stake in this chapter is the study of the dynamics that are triggered when one’s self-understanding is denied by external circumstances or by internal mechanisms. The characters I analyze are Irena in Giuseppe Tornatore’s La Sconosciuta (2006), and Dr. Jenny Isaksson in Ingmar Bergman’s Face to Face (1976).

description: The results for the observation of a Higgs boson decaying into two photons with the full Run 1 dataset from the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The analysis is performed with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider from pp collisions at centre of mass energy of 7 TeV and 8 TeV, which correspond to integrated luminosities of 5.1$fb^{-1}$ and 19.7$fb^{-1}$ respectively. The sequence of the analysis from vertex selection, photon energy reconstruction, photon identification and finally event selection is done using multivariate techniques. The Higgs boson is observed as a significant excess of events in the diphoton invariant mass spectrum from 100 to 180 GeV. The best fit signal strength $mu=sigma_{obs}/sigma_{SM}$ gives the compatibility of the observed cross-section with the predicted cross-section from the Standard Model. In addition, the analysis accounts for different Higgs production mechanisms to target the Higgs couplings to the top quark and also the W and Z vector bosons.

Exploring preservice teachers' development of awareness of student thinking
Creators: name: Pilitsis, Vicky Kathryn

description: Numerous reports have emphasized the need to engage students with the practices of scientific inquiry, specifically model-based inquiry in which students develop models to explain phenomena. A key factor in implementing this practice is the ability for teachers to attend and interpret student learning to guide instructional design. Research shows that experienced teachers’ understanding of learners influences their instructional design; however the research on preservice teachers (PT) has mixed results. For example, several studies have reported that PTs foresee few student learning difficulties when planning lessons while other studies found that PTs do acknowledge the importance of student ideas. Further, even when PTs do acknowledge student thinking, they are not clear what to do to ameliorate these misunderstandings. Being able to attend and respond to student thinking is based on the construct of noticing, which is the ability to notice and interpret significant interactions in the classroom. Due to the complex and dynamic nature of the classroom, it is difficult for PTs to develop these skills in real time due to the logistics involved in obtaining videos of PT instruction and the cognitive load involved in attending to the messy contexts of the real classroom environment. To circumvent this problem, teacher educators can focus on the precursors of noticing including framing and developing an awareness of student thinking; therefore, this dissertation focuses on the development of these precursors. The findings from these three studies will provide teacher education researchers with a clearer picture of where PTs are still struggling in their development; thus, they will be able to design and implement appropriate interventions that can help enhance these practices.

A nanoparticle-based epigenetic modulator for efficient gene modulation
Creators: name: Pongkulapa, Thanapat
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Modulation of gene expression through chromatin remodeling involves epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone acetylation. Acetylation is tightly regulated by two classes of enzymes, histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Molecules that can regulate these enzymes by altering (activating or inhibiting) their functions have become a valuable tool for understanding cell development and diseases. HAT activators, i.e. N-(4-Chloro-(3-trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2-ethoxybenzamide (CTB), have shown a therapeutic potential for many diseases, including cancer and neurodegeneration. However, these compounds encounter a solubility and a membrane permeability issue, which restricts their full potential for practical usage, especially for in vivo applications. To address this issue, in this work, we developed a nanoparticle-based HAT activator CTB, named Au-CTB, by incorporating a new CTB analogue onto gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) along with a poly(ethylene glycol) moiety and a nuclear localization signal (NLS) peptide to assist with solubility and membrane permeability. We found that our new CTB analogue and Au-CTB could activate HAT activity. Significantly, an increase in potency to activate HAT activity by Au-CTB proved the effectiveness of using the nanoparticle delivery platform. In addition, the versatility of Au-CTB platform permits the attachment of multiple ligands with tunable ratios on the nanoparticle surface via facile surface functionalization of gold nanoparticles. Due to its high delivery efficiency and versatility, Au-CTB can be a powerful platform for applications in epigenetic regulation of gene expression.
Memory search in event construction

description: The process of event construction involves binding component parts of an event, including the objects, spatial locations, and goals, to form a coherent scene. To date, there is no mechanism for the process by which these components are populated for event construction to occur. In this dissertation, I introduced the differentiated memory search model that describes the differential search mechanisms employed when one recollects a past event and when one plans for a future event. The research explored how this model can help explain event construction processes during preschool years. Experiment 1 revealed that an open-ended memory search (directed towards future event construction) leads to more errors in the recollection of relevant components than a more directed memory search (directed towards past event construction for the same components). These results corroborate the model, and suggest that the fidelity of the components retrieved from an episodic memory depends on whether one is thinking about the past or envisioning the future. Experiment 2 presents a method by which one can facilitate access to past components and thereby, ease retrieval of relevant components from memory for a future event construction process. Altogether, the results of this dissertation indicate that there are differential memory search mechanisms that underlie construction of a past versus future scene, and further, that the representation of the underlying event structures is temporally connected and content-specific. Further, the results of this dissertation suggest that memory processes are a precursor to future thinking abilities, and access to the underlying event structures can allow children to flexibly extract and manipulate the necessary components from memory to create the future scene.

Decision making framework for sustainable packaging design using life cycle assessment
Creators: name: Qi, Huihui
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Packaging industry is one of the largest industries in the world and is also associated with many environmental concerns. To reduce the environmental impacts, sustainable packaging design decision has been one of the top priorities in packaging industries nowadays. One of the commonly used tools measuring and quantifying the environmental impact of a product throughout all life stages is the Life Cycle Assessment. Based on the result from Life Cycle Assessment, decision is supposed to be made for choosing the more sustainable designs from a design population. However, the decision making process is challenging because of the complexity of the problem. The complexity is incurred by the large set and multi-criteria characteristic of result from Life Cycle Assessment, the existence of trade-off of designs between different indicators, and the uncertainty in the environmental impact indicator values. The objective of this dissertation is to aid the decision making process to cope with these challenges, find the more sustainable packaging designs alternatives, based on both deterministic environmental impact indicators values and environmental impact indicator values with uncertainty.  To achieve the research objective, to aid the decision making process, a decision making framework is developed, which consist of three research components. Component 1 efficiently finds the non-dominated designs among a large design population using Ranking Based Pareto Filter Algorithm. Component 2 concerns the trade-offs between designs on different indicators, using Design Preference Function and Ranking Based Rate of Substitution Method.  Component 3 deals with the uncertainty in the environmental impact indicator values. When dealing with the uncertainty in the environmental impact indicators, the Ranking Based Pareto Selection Algorithm has been modified to the Probabilistic Pareto Filter Algorithm.

Sclerophrys togoensis

description: Sclerophrys togoensis (Ahl, 1924)
(Fig. 4C)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Togo • 4 ♂, 1 ♀; Bismarckburg (currently Yégué in Adélé); ZMB 27010, ZMB 27011 (3 specimens) • 1 ♀; Diguengue; ZMB 77821.
DESCRIPTION. — Medium to large toad (SVL 47.2-55.5 mm ♂, 61.4 mm ♀), with somewhat stocky body. Snout rounded. Head wider than long (HW 37-39% SVL; HL 33-36% SVL). Tympanum distinct (TYD 6-7% SVL). Tibia short (TL 41-43% SVL). Webbing small, leaving about three phalanges free; webbing formula: I 1 – 2 II 1 – 3 III 2 – 3 ½ IV 3 ½ – 2 V. Skin with flat warts on the back; flanks, thighs and legs short with warts bearing horny spinules. Belly granular. Parotoid glands narrow, long, almost smooth, nearly touching the eyelids.
COLOURATION. — The dorsal colouration is characterised by brownish, whitish and black spots of irregular shapes. There is a transverse whitish band at the orbital level. The snout and anterior end of the head are brownish. The flanks have a brown to whitish spotted pattern. The dorsal part of forearm, arm, thigh and foot exhibit brown and whitish transverse bands.
SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — The males have a subgular vocal sac indicated by a black colouration. They are often more robust and their forelegs stronger than those of females.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — The current knowledge of this species in Togo is based on two new vouchers collected in Diguengué. Beside the specimens used in the original description (Ahl 1924), its presence has also been reported by Bourgat (1979) in Tinkoro (now Tintro in Adélé). No further mention of the species has been made in recent works on the herpetofauna of Togo and adjacent Ghana (Rödel & Agyei 2003; Leaché et al. 2006; Hillers et al. 2009). However, this species has been frequently found in the rainforests of the western part of the Upper Guinea forest zone (e.g. Rödel & Bangoura 2004; Rödel & Glos 2019; Gongomin et al. 2019). The current conservation status of this species in Togo is presumably critical because of the strong degradation of the remaining forests.

Using pilot-jobs for developing eThread, a meta-threading pipeline
Creators: name: Ragothaman, Anjanibhargavi

Year: 2014

description: The genome revolution has produced vast amount of sequence information, but the functional annotation of most of the gene products are yet to be explored in depth. Functional inference of low sequence identity is brought about by the structure based template methods. To model and understand these proteome scale functions, state of-the-art algorithms like eThread is used. They are compute intensive and demand effe cient and optimal use of the underlying resources. Combination of large scale data and complex workload raises the need for pilot based approaches. eThread is a metathreading protein structure modeling algorithm which is supported by ten independent  single-threading algorithms whose computational complexity also depends on the number  and size of the input sequences. In this thesis, eThread pipeline is developed on an extensible, scalable and interoperable pilot-job based framework and it supports concurrent tasks execution and data-parallelization on heterogeneous resources deployed on Amazon EC2 with S3 as data repository. This study aims to understand the dominant factors which influence the performance of eThread on EC2. This analysis suggests an optimized solution based on execution time and cost of implementation. It primarily achieves better utilization of resources by scaling workload on multiple resources. Further ideas on increasing resource capacity and discussions on the importance of dynamic execution of tasks are also laid out.
