The endowment effect and emotions
Creators: name: Vietri, Jeffrey Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Our emotions can exert a powerful influence on our judgments.   Decades of psychological research bears witness to the influence of mood on a variety of processes, with mood being treated as a single dimension ranging from good to bad.  This scheme, however, does not reflect the diversity of human feeling as conceived by either lay people or psychologists who specialize in emotion, and recent research investigating the impact of emotion on judgment has demonstrated that this scheme is too simple to account for the effects of affect on judgment.  A variety of findings have shown that different emotions have differing effects on judgments and decisions, on measures as diverse as subjective probability (DeSteno et al, 2004), risk (Lerner & Keltner, 2001), and judgments of monetary value (Lerner, Small, & Loewenstein, 2004).  The Appraisal Tendency Framework attempts to explain these findings, in part by invoking the motivational goals associated with specific emotions in the appraisal literature. Despite the prominent role of goals in the appraisal literature and in the ATF, there has been no attempt to measure the operation of goals in the paradigms where emotions affect judgment.  This dissertation attempted to replicate previous research implicating emotion-induce goals as driving the effects of sadness and disgust on the endowment effect.  Importantly, the current study also attempted to measure the activation of these goals, testing a mediational model where emotions activate goals, and those goals drive the effect on judgment.  However, despite adequate power, successful manipulation of emotions, and a significant endowment effect, the relationship between the specific emotions and value judgments did not emerge.  The proposed intermediate relationships between emotions and goals, and goals and prices, were not confirmed either, though this may have been due to a lack of internal consistency in the goal measures.  A meta analysis of the effect of sadness or negative mood on the endowment effect indicated affect as a reliable moderator of the endowment effect, but also a significant level of heterogeneity among reported findings.  More research is needed to determine when and how emotion influences the effect of ownership on value.
Anaerobic digestion of equine waste

description: The goals of this project were to determine the methane production potential of horse manure during anaerobic digestion; to examine the effect of softwood chip bedding, pelleted Woody Pet® softwood bedding, and straw on the methane production potential of equine stall waste; and to investigate the feasibility of co-digestion of waste food and equine waste under thermophilic conditions.Initial results suggested that softwood bedding may have inhibited methane production in 15 L semi-continuous digesters. However, further extensive investigation in batch and continuous flow digesters determined that softwood bedding did not inhibit methane production and, on the contrary, contributed to methane production. The methane production potential for horse manure at 35°C averaged 139 ± 65 L/ kg VS (average ± standard deviation) and 29 ± 15 L/ kg wet weight, corresponding to 9.2 ± 4.8 x 105 kJ / metric ton wet weight.  The energy production potential of stall waste with softwood chip bedding ranged from 4.0 ± 0.4 x 105 kJ / metric ton wet weight to 6.6 ± 0.8 x 105 kJ / metric ton wet weight, depending upon the relative amount of bedding present. Co-digestion of equine waste and food waste under thermophilic conditions was performed at the 20 L and 6.3 m3 scale.  The 20 L thermophilic digesters were fed a variety of food wastes in addition to stall waste containing softwood bedding.  The methane production from these digesters was 356 ± 61 L/kg VS-d.  The large-scale (6.3 m3) digester was operated in excess of one year primarily on waste food and horse manure (no bedding).  The loading rate increased over time to 1.7 kg VS/m3-d.  The methane content of the biogas was 55.7 ± 5.2 %. Total ammonia nitrogen approached 5 g/L, suggesting a higher C:N ratio feed stock mixture than that afforded by the waste food and horse manure mixture might be necessary for future applications.
Do unique mechanisms underlie the expression of attention problems in anxious and inattentive-impulsive youth?
Creators: name: Weissman, Adam Scott

Year: 2009

description: Accumulating evidence suggests that unique mechanisms may underlie the expression of attention problems in youth Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) and anxiety disorders (e.g., AD/HD-Inattentive Type and Generalized Anxiety Disorder). Kendall (2000) proposed that anxiety may be associated predominantly with emotion-based “distortions” in cognitive processing (e.g., misappraisal of the social/interpersonal environment, attentional bias toward perceived threat/danger), while inattention in AD/HD youth may be linked to more global cognitive “deficiencies” (e.g., selective/sustained attention, inhibitory control; Barkley, 1997). The current study compared performance of anxious (ANX; n=21; 8-17 years), inattentive-impulsive (I-I; n=22, 9-16 years), and typically developing children (NC; n=22; 8-13 years) on neurocognitive tests of both general (Stroop Color-Word Test, SCW; Conners’ Continuous Performance Test, CPT) and emotion-based attentional processes (Emotional Stroop, ES; Faces Dot Probe Task, FDP). As hypothesized, I-I demonstrated poorer sustained attention and inhibitory control, as evidenced by lower CPT commission error raw scores, relative to ANX and NC, and a non-significant trend toward higher CPT omission error T-scores, relative to ANX. In addition, ANX demonstrated superior selective attention, relative to I-I, as indicated by higher SCW raw scores (i.e., more items completed in 45 seconds), higher SCW T-scores, and fewer SCW errors. As predicted, ANX demonstrated greater attentional bias toward threat cues, relative to I-I, as indicated by greater FDP bias scores in response to angry faces. No significant group differences were found in bias scores on happy or sad trials. In addition, ANX showed a trend toward significant “absolute bias” scores (i.e., relative to zero) in response to angry faces alone, suggesting a potential emotion-specific attentional bias toward threat cues in anxious youth; I-I exhibited an “absolute bias” toward sad faces, alone. ES bias scores were not significant and did not distinguish between groups. The findings provide initial evidence for the neuropsychological differentiation of attention problems in anxious (i.e., threat-related attentional bias) and inattentive-impulsive children (i.e., general selective/sustained attention), suggesting the potential utility of cognitive assessment as an aid for differential diagnosis and subsequent treatment of youth anxiety and AD/HD.

description: Taxonomy of Arctiinae
The classification of Arctiinae has undergone extensive changes, including in the past few years. Since the work of Franclemont (1983), the group has been considered to include Ctenuchina and Euchromiina, formerly known together as Syntomidae, Amatidae, Ctenuchidae or Euchromiidae, depending on the author. These names also included the now-separate tribe Syntomini. In spite of the recency of this change, it has long been noted that the traditionally known Arctiidae plus the “ctenuchids” are at the very least closely related (Hampson 1898). However, support for the whole group based on exclusive characters only arrived with the contribution by Holloway (1988), who first noticed that the female pheromone glands could be a synapomorphy for the Arctiinae as understood today. This was later confirmed by Jacobson and Weller (2002), who corroborated Holloway’s hypothesis, and provided more characters that support the group, and also by numerous molecular studies, the most relevant one being that of Zahiri et al. (2010).
The arctiines were traditionally treated as a family, but recent changes in the classification of Noctuoidea have downgraded them to a subfamily. This change has received support, although with different configurations (Lafontaine & Fibiger 2006, Zahiri et al. 2010). The most recent and widely accepted classification is the one by Zahiri et al. (2010), which treats the group as a subfamily of Erebidae.
Unlike the solid monophyletism of the arctiines, its groupings are far from settled. Of the few modern attempts to solve its classification (Jacobson & Weller 2002, DaCosta et al. 2006, Simmons et al. 2013), all of them failed to include a significant number of genera, as well as being biased towards Nearctic and Palearctic genera. The problem with these approaches can be fully understood when one considers that the vast majority of Ctenuchina, Euchromiina, Pericopina, and Phaegopterina (the latter being the second-largest subtribe of Arctiini) are found in the Neotropics. However, even a small sampling of these groups was enough to reveal that they are probably not monophyletic (Simmons et al. 2006; Weller et al. 2009). In the absence of a better classification for the arctiines, the traditional classification, unreliable as it is, is the only option left until further studies are made.

description: Carbon dioxide and other acid gases are removed from gaseous streams using aqueous absorption and stripping processes. By replacing the conventional stripper used to regenerate the aqueous solvent and capture the acid gas with a matrix stripping configuration, less energy is consumed. The matrix stripping configuration uses two or more reboiled strippers at different pressures. The rich feed from the absorption equipment is split among the strippers, and partially regenerated solvent from the highest pressure stripper flows to the middle of sequentially lower pressure strippers in a “matrix” pattern. By selecting certain parameters of the matrix stripping configuration such that the total energy required by the strippers to achieve a desired percentage of acid gas removal from the gaseous stream is minimized, further energy savings can be realized.

description: The leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal) Iljinsk., a plant native to China that has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diabetes. It remains to be determined what chemical constituents are responsible for this effect. The aim of this study was to identify the antidiabetic components of C. paliurus using the spectrum-effect relationship and confirmed using molecular docking. The components of C. paliurus were detected using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (UHPLC-DAD). C. paliurus could significantly reduce glycosylated haemoglobin, blood glucose levels and blood lipid profile. Esculetin, shikimic acid, isoquercitrin, quercitrin, kaempferol-3-O-rhamnoside, tricin, and pterocaryoside A were determined to be the main antidiabetic components of C. paliurus. Results revealed that the antidiabetic effect of C. paliurus was due to the combination of multiple chemical components. The method developed is valuable for identifying the active ingredients of this plant species.

Decomposition and metrical analysis of single-joint movement of the hemiparetic upper-limb.
Creators: name: Wininger, Michael T.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Observation of the voluntary movement of the upper-limb is the primary method by which recovery is determined in the motor-impaired. Here, an analytical infrastructure is presented for the decomposition of the kinematical record into two constitutive components: the essential motor activity, and spontaneous motor noise. These tools are subsequently used to perform novel hypothesis tests on the symmetry and variability of discrete single-joint articulation of the elbow in chronic stroke patients and healthy control subjects.Firstly, elbow-joint goniometric data from 41 healthy volunteers was modeled with a high accuracy to a set of analytical curves, parameterized to account for movement delay and average velocity. From this it was determined that single-joint trajectories are not uniformly symmetric, nor are their trace morphologies highly stereotyped. Additional analysis of trajectory waveform variability following a pseudo-wavelet domain transformation revealed modest spontaneous behavior in the medial domains of joint articulation. Among 14 subjects with impaired motor control due to chronic stroke, though significantly greater transience was observed throughout the joint domain, cohort tendency to adopt symmetric trajectories within a narrow (but non-singular) set of morphology themes did not depart significantly from that of unimpaired subjects. It is concluded that motor dysfunction in the hemiparetic upper-limb, as observed via the motor activity of the elbow joint in stroke-afflicted persons, pertains to the proclivity to accelerative transience across the joint range, and not to an essential motor behavior associated with basic task execution.
A snapshot of the Artemia genome

Year: 2009

description: The Waksman Student Scholars Program, along with the Introduction to Molecular Biology and Biochemical Research class, were responsible for the publication of 628 Artemia sequences.  Surprisingly, 361 of these sequences (58%) did not contain an open reading frame larger than 80 residues.  It was originally presumed that this was due to a high level of genomic DNA contamination.  While it is possible that some of our Artemia sequences are genomic contamination, I believe a large majority of our non-coding sequences are long non-coding RNA (ncRNA), newly recognized players in transcriptional regulation.  This high percentage of non-coding sequences is reasonable, as other genomic studies indicate about 50% of an organism’s RNA is non-coding.  Our average non-coding sequence length was 600nt, significantly longer than our average Artemia 3’UTR length of 175nt, which can easily be explained if we acknowledge these sequences as long non-coding RNAs.  Many of our non-coding RNAs also contain polyA tails, as well as polyadenylation signals.  Considering many ncRNAs are polyadenylated, this data supports my hypothesis.  Fifty-two percent of our non-coding sequences match other Artemia sequences in NCBI, and of these matches, 33% are in the reverse direction. Transcription in the reverse direction is a method used by ncRNA to inhibit gene transcription.    In addition to my analysis of the 628 analyzed Artemia sequences, I used DNASTAR software to analyze all 5,947 Artemia sequences generated from 2005 through 2008.  This software validated sequence quality and assembled similar sequences into 2,848 contiguous sequences.  These contiguous sequences were further processed using Blast2GO, a gene ontology tool, where only 268 contiguous sequences were of high enough quality to be considered annotated genes.  These genes were further characterized according to their Gene Ontology.
NMR conformational and dynamic characterization of triple helical peptides

Year: 2009

description: The repeating Gly-X-Y sequences and uniform rod-like structure makes collagen-like peptides a unique system for NMR studies. In this dissertation, a number of triple helical peptides modeling biologically important regions in collagen, such as mutation sites, interruption sites and collagenase cleavage sites, are investigated by a variety of NMR techniques. Structure determination strategy combining molecular modeling and NMR spectroscopy have been developed on a classic triple helical peptide. Novel approaches capable of obtaining long-range order restraints, such as residual dipolar coupling and 15N relaxation measurements, are applied to obtain detailed information about the orientation of the N-H bonds, which are crucial in defining collagen structure. Triple helical peptides modeling Gly mutations involved in Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a connective tissue disorder, are investigated to elucidate the structural bases of various OI phenotypes. The level of structural disruption by different Gly substitutions is found to correlate well with the lethality of OI, while Arg/Asp causes larger disruption and is more likely to result in lethal OI. Triple helical peptides modeling natural interruptions in a heterotrimeric rather than homotrimeric environment have been successfully obtained and special features of stability, conformation, dynamics and folding at the interruption sites are detected by NMR.Triple helical peptides, which model natural cleavage sites and potential but noncleavable sites in collagen, are explored to understand the specific recognition of collagen by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). A single Ile at the cleavage site shows a distinct chemical shift, an unusual J-coupling value, dramatically increased dynamics and decreased local stability, suggesting that the Ile may be released from the restricted triple helical conformation and recognized by MMPs. The distribution of neighboring imino acids is also shown to be able to affect the local conformation and dynamics at the cleavage sites. This thesis correlates collagen sequence variations to the changes in structural and dynamic features of collagen-like peptides, furthering our understanding of the molecular bases for collagen-involved diseases and recognitions.

Chiral algebras of (0,2) models
Creators: name: Yagi, Junya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Sigma models with (0,2) supersymmetry in two dimensions possess quasi-topological sectors characterized by chiral algebras.  In this thesis, we study these chiral algebras and explore theirnonperturbative aspects.The chiral algebras of (0,2) models emerge when one considers the cohomology of local operators with respect to one of the supercharges, and provide infinite-dimensional generalizations of the chiral rings of (2,2) models.  Perturbatively, they enjoy rich mathematical structures described by sheaves of chiral differential operators.Nonperturbatively, however, they vanish completely for certain (0,2) models with no left-moving fermions.  Examples include the models in which the target spaces are the complete flag manifolds of compactsemisimple Lie groups.The vanishing of the chiral algebra of a (0,2) model implies that supersymmetry is spontaneously broken in the model, which in turn suggests that no harmonic spinors exist on the loop space of the target space.  We analyze this supersymmetry breaking using holomorphic Morse theory on the loop space in the case where the target space is CP(1).  As expected, we find that instantons interpolate between pairs of perturbative supersymmetric states, thereby lifting them out of the supersymmetric spectrum.This thesis is based on the work of the author with Meng-Chwan Tan, reported in the papers arXiv:0801.4782 [hep-th], arXiv:0805.1410 [hep-th], and the Letter Lett.

An animal model of autism using GSTM1 knockout mice and early post-natal VPA-treatment
Creators: name: Yochum, Carrie Leigh
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Autism is a behaviorally defined developmental disorder with unknown origin. However, its etiology most likely involves a gene by toxicant by age of exposure interaction. To test this hypothesis, mouse pups with a deletion of glutathione-S-transferase M1 (a gene associated with increased risk of autism and that codes for an enzyme involved in the management of toxicant-induced oxidative stress) and wild-type controls were exposed to valproic acid (a toxicant known to cause autism-like behavior deficits following prenatal exposure and one that exerts its toxic action, in part, by inducing oxidative stress) on post-natal day 14.  It was observed that VPA-treatment resulted in significant increases in the number of cells staining for TUNEL in the hippocampus and cerebellum. There was also a gene by treatment by sex interaction with VPA- treated wild-type females having increased protection against VPA-induced cell death. VPA- treatment also resulted in long-lasting deficits in social behaviors and corresponding changes in brain chemistry.   Collectively, these data expand our current animal model of autism by adding a genetic component in the form of an autism susceptibility gene. In addition, these results support the hypothesis that autism may be the result of a gene by toxicant interaction wherein both factors share a common feature of oxidative stress.
Harnessing the ‘Well’ in Being: An Exploration of the Wellbeing Experiences of Adolescent Autistic Girls and How These Can Be Supported Within Mainstream Schools
Creators: name: Connolly, Kathryn
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2024

description: Determining how to support autistic wellbeing has become a high priority for research amid calls from within the community and psychology professions (Autistica, 2015; British Psychological Society, 2021; Gowen et al., 2019; Pellicano et al., 2014; Rodogno et al., 2016). The wellbeing experiences of autistic girls throughout their secondary education are influenced by issues of neurodiversity acceptance, power and social justice. Recognising key adolescent developmental tasks and broader eco-systemic factors, this research adopted a positive psychology approach to explore the lived experiences of wellbeing for autistic girls. A clear social justice goal was identified – to develop a shared construct of autistic girls’ wellbeing so that mainstream schools can review their wellbeing provision. A transformative paradigm was purposed to create a community-led and participatory research space in which seven teenage autistic girls attending mainstream secondary schools became co-researchers. Their role in co-producing the research design, data collection methodology and analysis was instrumental in ensuring the study’s findings were meaningful and impactful. An accessible online forum was created for the co-researcher planning as well as data collection (via semi-structured interviews). Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to honour the voices of the autistic girls at both an individual and group level to emancipate their lived experiences.

Key findings indicated that there are many social, emotional and political factors in the secondary school system which influence the girls’ wellbeing. Integral to their wellbeing is an understanding of how they are creating their autistic identity, balancing their emotions throughout the school day, finding where they belong and coping with the pressures of navigating the complex and often unpredictable school system. School support needs to incorporate whole school awareness of how these factors influence autistic girls’ wellbeing, the creating of an inclusive community space that recognises and celebrates neurodivergent differences, co-production of personalised wellbeing provision (with the help of relationally attuned adults) and a culture of wellbeing that looks beyond the school gates. Implications for Educational Psychologists’ practice in critically challenging school support are discussed and a graduated framework for school leaders is suggested. Recommendation for future research are considered.

Year: 2009

description: The energy storage efficiencies of the reaction centers in the intact cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii wild type cell, PSI-less mutants and PSII-less mutants in microsecond time window were determined using pulsed, time-resolved photoacoustic techniques. The heat emission from the photochemical reaction can result in the positive thermal expansion photoacoustic signal, opposing the negative thylokoid volume contraction signal caused by electrostriction during the charge separation. In this present research, we observed that PSI differed strongly from PSII, both in thermal expansion and volume contraction. Similar to the bacterial reaction centre, PSI is marked with the large volume contraction but small thermal expansion, in contrast to the large thermal expansion but small volume contraction in PSII. For wild type, the volume contraction signal is dominant over the thermal expansion signal upon low pulse energy illumination at room temperature. In microsecond time scale, the energy storage efficiencies were estimated to be 36%, 80±5%, and 50±14% per trap in wild type, PSI and PSII, respectively. The different energy conversion efficiencies are probably attributed to the escape of the bound counterions from the particle surface in PSI and rapid electron transfer in PSII. In the present work, we conducted the photoacoustic experiments to study the energy storage in different photosystem with the intact cells of PSI-less and PSII-less mutants, instead of using either specific wavelength excitation light or PSII inhibitors (e. g. DCMU), which were commonly applied in the previous studies. We also proved photoacoustic techniques’ usefulness and convenience in the photosynthesis research, especially in electron transfer and some related thermodynamics studies.

Estrogenic modulation of auditory processing in female songbirds
Creators: name: Yoder, Kathleen Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: In songbirds, male song is learned and is thought to be sexually selected for as a function of female mate choice. In this view, females must choose a conspecific mate whose song provides an honest signal of his quality. Male zebra finches copy an adult tutor’s song during development, and a memory for this tutor song is stored in the brain auditory processing area NCM. Female zebra finches do not copy, but they do show a behavioral preference in adulthood for the tutor song that they heard during development. Surprisingly, female NCM does not appear to have a memory for the tutor-song like that in males.  We hypothesized that the expression of this memory in female NCM can be modulated by gonadal hormones, specifically that physiological estrogen levels in breeding females may influence sexual behavior by inducing changes in NCM that allow the previously formed tutor-song memory to be expressed, enable conspecific sounds to be discriminated from less relevant sounds, and facilitate acquisition of new auditory memories - all processes which may contribute to successful mate choice and reproduction. We tested these hypotheses by rearing females (n=26) in a controlled environment and exposing them to an artificial song-tutor during the sensitive period. In adulthood, we recorded their electrophysiological responses to tutor-song playback during estrogen (n=10), anti-estrogen (n=8) or vehicle (n=8) treatment. We also tested the same animals for conspecific vs. heterospecific song discrimination and the acquisition of memories for recently heard songs.  Our results did not show an effect of hormonal manipulations on the expression of the tutor-song memory and thus did not support our primary hypothesis. However, anti-estrogen treatment degraded conspecific song discrimination and the acquisition of a memory for recently heard songs, suggesting that these processes require normal estrogen levels for their expression. Our results are consistent with an important role for estrogen in auditory processing and memory acquisition, consistent with studies in other animal systems. Future work will address the mechanisms by which estrogen modulates these effects.

(Figs. 2 and 55)
Eucyane variabilis f. flavofasciata Zerny, 1928: 3. Lectotype hereby designated, male: COLOMBIA, Bella Vista, August 1927; with three labels: printed label “W. Columbien, Bella Vista, August 1927 ”, handwritten label “Eucyane variabilis Zerny ♂ f. flavofasciata Zerny type ”, and another label “ AS. 2280 a, b Euc. variabilis f. flavofasciata Zy H. De Toulgoët prép” [examined]. New synonym of Hypocrita variabilis variabilis.
Current combination. Junior subjective synonym of Hypocrita variabilis variabilis (Zerny, 1928).
Condition of the type. Wings slightly rubbed; apex of left forewing and small piece of hindwing damaged. Tip of right antenna broken.
Remarks. The description of E. variabilis comprised the description of three subspecies: E. variabilis variabilis, E. variabilis flavofasciata, and E. variabilis roseofasciata, the last two described as “forms” (and therefore to be treated as subspecies, according to ICZN, article 45.6.4). Zerny (1928) mentioned six males, two of each. Still according to Zerny, only two of those specimens were deposited at the NHMW. Two were indeed found, one of them consistent with the description of E. variabilis variabilis, and the other consistent with E. variabilis flavofasciata (see below). Zerny gave no hint about where the other specimens might be. However, he did mention later (Zerny, 1931b) that the specimens from Colombia came from Fassl. According to Horn & Kahle (1935 –1937), part of Fassl’s material from Colombia went to the Tring Museum (currently housed at the BMNH), and another part was sold. No potential type specimen of either of the subspecies of E. variabilis was found at the BMNH, but two specimens were found at the ZMHB, with labels identical to those of the NHMW’s type specimens. They are part of the type series of E. variabilis roseofasciata and of E. variabilis variabilis, as discussed below. The second type specimen of E. variabilis flavofasciata remains to be discovered.
The lectotype of Eucyane variabilis flavofasciata has been dissected, and the third label refers to the slide bearing the genitalia (Fig. 48). This name is here synonymized under Hypocrita variabilis variabilis because there is no reason to assume that specimens from the same locality represent different subspecies based solely on the wing pattern.

Ghost novels

description: This dissertation examines formal innovations in contemporary novels that revise the way reading happens. Reading recent works by Toni Morrison, Don DeLillo, Michael Ondaatje and J.M. Coetzee, I show how these innovative novelists utilize the very impossibility of properly representing others as a narrative device. I argue that the novelists design their works in such a way that reading them becomes an encounter with ghosts that confront the reader. My introductory chapter discusses the use of ghost figures in post-structuralist thought and traces their usefulness back to the Enlightenment. In the first part of the dissertation, I analyze two American novels, Love and The Body Artist to consider the influence of postmodern spectrality that emerges from reproduction of images. The phantom narrator of Love discloses and overthrows the distorted representation of African American women by inviting the reader to witness the "murder" of the Father's spirit. Chapter Three proposes that The Body Artist performs a haunting that is marked with the ghostly traces of tele-technologies. By incarnating the specter that comes out of the internet on the body of the protagonist, DeLillo attempts to instill in his novel the subversive potential of what escapes visual representation: the body and the spirit. In the second part of my dissertation, I turn to postcolonial fictions to investigate how similar narrative strategies transform the representation of none-western others. My reading of Anil's Ghost reveal that its convoluted narrative functions like the spiritual ritual it depicts--by suggesting alternative ways to become perceptive to others, it forces the reader to experience the void and grief the disappeared leave behind. In my final chapter I argue that an authorial ghost in Slow Man highlights fissures in the text, including the individual histories of Australian immigrants. Through my analysis of these texts, I demonstrate how these writers seek to return what has been forgotten or dismissed to disturb the reader’s comfortable and safe reading space with the "real" power of ghosts. Their ghosts break out of the world of phantoms, paradoxically representing the corporeality of others and traversing the border between the book and the reader.
Inbound and outbound trucks scheduling at crossdocks

description: In today’s customer driven economy, moving products quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively offers crucial advantages to companies. To achieve these goals, more and more companies are finding that cross-docking can play an integral part in their distribution model by partially replacing or complementing existing warehousing facilities. Crossdocking is a material handling and distribution operation, which moves products quickly and directly from inbound trucks (ITs) to outbound trucks (OTs) through the crossdock facility where products are being resorted or consolidated, without being stored or only with a short-term storage, usually within 24 hours or sometimes only within one hour. This research deals with the scheduling of both ITs and OTs at a crossdocking facility where three objectives are considered: The first objective is to minimize the starting and handling time of all ITs; the second objective is to minimize the total weighted distance of pallets traveled inside the crossdock facility; and the third objective is to minimize the total departure time of all OTs. Multi-objective mixed-integer program formulations are built in order to address the problem. Justification for the use of these objectives in optimizing cross-dock operations is given. Different models are built for three different door layouts at crossdocking facility. Since the problems are NP-hard, we consider the problem size limitations to obtain an exact solution. In addition, a restriction-approximation approach to solve the models is proposed and the efficiency of our approximation method is proved based on generated data. Finally, numerical examples are provided using the mathematical models built and the approximation approaches. Results for different layouts and scenarios are compared to evaluate the characteristics of different crossdock layouts.
