description: This study investigated how aquaculture gear type and increased wave action influenced growth and shape of eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica during a “finishing” period in Chesapeake Bay. Oysters were deployed in three different gear treatments in the intertidal or upper water column: bottom cages, OysterGro™ floats, and rack and bag, and a bottom cage was also deployed in the subtidal zone as an industry control. Shell length(L), width(W), height(H), total weight and wet meat weight were measured each month from August to December 2015 and an index of shell shape (deviation of L-W-H from idealized 3-2-1 ratio) calculated. OysterGro™ floats produced the greatest increase in wet and total weight and the most ideal shaped oysters (lowest 3-2-1 ratio deviation). Overall, these results demonstrate the benefit of deploying oysters in higher wave action gear types such as the OysterGro™ and will increase the available data on gear performance in Chesapeake Bay.

description: A Floquet quantum system is governed by a Hamiltonian that is periodic in time. Consider the space of piecewise time-independent Floquet systems with (geometrically) local interactions. We prove that for all but a measure zero set of systems in this space, starting from a random product state, many properties (including expectation values of observables and the entanglement entropy of a macroscopically large subsystem) at long times are approximately periodic with the same period as the Hamiltonian. Thus, in almost every Floquet system of arbitrarily large but finite size, discrete time-crystalline behavior does not persist to strictly infinite time.

description: In many real-world scenarios involving high-stakes and safety implications, a human decision-maker (HDM) may receive recommendations from an artificial intelligence while holding the ultimate responsibility of making decisions. In this letter, we develop an "adherence-aware Q-learning" algorithm to address this problem. The algorithm learns the "adherence level" that captures the frequency with which an HDM follows the recommended actions and derives the best recommendation policy in real time. We prove the convergence of the proposed Q-learning algorithm to the optimal value and evaluate its performance across various scenarios.

description: Sea ice retreat, seawater warming, and now ocean acidification are recognized as physical stressors impacting the productive benthic communities on the shallow continental shelves of the northern Bering and Chukchi Seas, particularly calcifying organisms like bivalves that are prey items for benthivorous predators including walruses, eiders, and bearded seals. Using time-series benthic faunal collections and laboratory experiments, my research: 1) evaluates the abundance and dominant size class of Macoma calcarea in the northern Bering Sea and the southeastern Chukchi Sea during summer months from 1998-2014, and 2) investigates the effects of ocean acidification on growth and oxygen consumption of two size classes of three dominant bivalve species, M. calcarea, Astarte montagui, and Astarte borealis. Results suggest a northward shift in bivalve distribution (p < 0.01) and a recent size reduction at both sites. Experimental results suggest that one dominant size class (2.1-3 cm) will be more susceptible to ocean acidification.

description: This cross-sectional study examined the relations of four socioemotional skills with academic achievement among ethnic minority (e.g., Asian, Black, Latino/a, and multiethnic) and White elementary school students.

Method: Participants included public school upper elementary students (N = 257; Mage = 9.71; 58% female; 10% Black, 5% Asian, 6% Latino/a, 12% multiracial; 61% White). Measures included student-reported grit, growth mindset, engagement, and emotion regulation, in addition to a student literacy achievement performance task (Test of Silent Reading Efficiency and Comprehension, TOSREC) and student reading achievement scores (Measures of Academic Progress in Reading; MAP-R).

Results: Across all analyses, socioemotional skills were more related to literacy achievement for ethnic minority students than for White students. While simple regressions supported several skills’ relation to achievement for both groups of students, multiple regressions suggested that grit was the sole significant predictor of achievement, and it was only predictive of minority students’ achievement. Although literacy achievement differed between the full samples of ethnic minority and White students, moderation analyses indicated that this achievement gap disappeared among high grit students. Yet, while these regression and moderation results suggested grit’s unique role as a predictor, SEM analyses suggested that the magnitude of all of the socioemotional skills’ prediction of achievement were more similar than different. These findings support a novel but cautious approach to research on socioemotional skills and the achievement gap: results suggest that the skills operate differently in students of different ethnicities, with grit playing a uniquely predictive role for minority students. The skills, however, may be more similar than not in the strength of their association with literacy achievement.

description: In Maryland, commercial blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) harvests are monitored through mandatory, annual harvest reporting, but no monitoring exists for recreational fishers. This study used a large-scale mark-recapture program to assess relative exploitation between the recreational and commercial fishing sectors in 15 harvest reporting areas of Maryland, then incorporated movement information and extrapolated reported commercial harvest data to generate statewide estimates of recreational harvest. Results indicate spatial variation in recreational fishing, with a majority of recreational harvests coming from tributaries of the Western Shore and the Wye and Miles Rivers on the Eastern Shore. Statewide, recreational harvest has remained 8% as large as commercial harvest despite management changes in 2008, and remains a larger proportion (12.8%) of male commercial harvest. In addition, this study provides detailed spatial information on recreational harvest and the first information on rates of exchange of male crabs among harvest reporting areas.

description: Situational Graphs (S-Graphs) merge geometric models of the environment generated by Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) approaches with 3D scene graphs into a multi-layered jointly optimizable factor graph. As an advantage, S-Graphs not only offer a more comprehensive robotic situational awareness by combining geometric maps with diverse hierarchically organized semantic entities and their topological relationships within one graph, but they also lead to improved performance of localization and mapping on the SLAM level by exploiting semantic information. In this paper, we introduce a vision-based version of S-Graphs where a conventional \ac{VSLAM} system is used for low-level feature tracking and mapping. In addition, the framework exploits the potential of fiducial markers (both visible as well as our recently introduced transparent or fully invisible markers) to encode comprehensive information about environments and the objects within them. The markers aid in identifying and mapping structural-level semantic entities, including walls and doors in the environment, with reliable poses in the global reference, subsequently establishing meaningful associations with higher-level entities, including corridors and rooms. However, in addition to including semantic entities, the semantic and geometric constraints imposed by the fiducial markers are also utilized to improve the reconstructed map's quality and reduce localization errors. Experimental results on a real-world dataset collected using legged robots show that our framework excels in crafting a richer, multi-layered hierarchical map and enhances robot pose accuracy at the same time.

description: The thesis explores the use of the rape fantasy in Japanese male-male pornography through an analysis of Nitro+CHiRAL’s DRAMAtical Murder and DRAMAtical Murder: re:connect as case studies of the larger genre and cultural history. The thesis puts Western and Japanese scholars in conversation with one another to encourage more academic attention to the emerging fields of Boys Love (BL) and pornographic video gaming. The methodology relies on intersections between gaming, sexuality, and trauma studies to deconstruct the DRAMAtical Murder series’ embodiments of rape with critical consideration to both the victim and the perpetrator.
Combinatorial Algorithms for the Active Time and Busy Time Problems

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Computer science
subject: Approximation Algorithms
subject: Job Scheduling

description: In this thesis, we consider the problem of scheduling jobs in such a way that we minimize the energy consumption of the machines they are scheduled on. Job scheduling itself has a long and rich history in computer science both from theoretical and applied perspectives. A multitude of different objectives to optimize have been considered such as weighted completion time, penalties for missed deadlines, etc. However, traditional objective functions such as these do not capture or model the energy consumption of the machines these jobs run on. Energy consumption is an important facet of job scheduling to consider not only because of its relationship with the financial costs of scheduling (such as those related to cooling and the cost of powering the machines) but also due to its impact on the environment. This is especially true in the context of data centers as more and more processing is pushed to the cloud. We study two problems related to these issues - the active time problem and the busy time problem. First, we give a purely combinatorial algorithm for the active time problem which matches its best known approximation ratio (the existing algorithm is based on a rather involved LP rounding scheme). Second, we describe a local search based heuristic for the problem and also consider an experimental evaluation of these algorithms on artificially generated data. Finally, we describe two very simple algorithms which match the current best upper bounds for the busy time problem when all job lengths are equal.

description: We study the dynamics of an overdamped Brownian particle in a thermal bath that contains a dilute solution of active particles. The particle moves in a harmonic potential and experiences Poisson shot-noise kicks with specified amplitude distribution due to moving active particles in the bath. From the Fokker-Planck equation for the particle dynamics we derive the stationary solution for the displacement distribution along with the moments characterizing mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis, as well as finite time first and second moments. We also compute an effective temperature through the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and show that equipartition theorem holds for all zero-mean kick distributions, including those leading to non-Gaussian stationary statistics. For the case of Gaussian-distributed active kicks we find a re-entrant behaviour from non-Gaussian to Gaussian stationary states and a heavy-tailed leptokurtic distribution across a wide range of parameters as seen in recent experimental studies. Further analysis reveals statistical signatures of the irreversible dynamics of the particle displacement in terms of the time asymmetry of cross-correlation functions. Fruits of our work is the development of a compact inference scheme that may allow experimentalists to extract the rate and moments of underlying shot-noise solely from the statistics of the particle position.

description: Slow fluctuations of Overhauser fields are an important source for decoherence in spin qubits hosted in III-V semiconductor quantum dots. Focusing on the effect of the field gradient on double-dot singlet-triplet qubits, we present two adaptive Bayesian schemes to estimate the magnitude of the gradient by a series of free induction decay experiments. We concentrate on reducing the computational overhead, with a real-time implementation of the schemes in mind. We show how it is possible to achieve a significant improvement of estimation accuracy compared to more traditional estimation methods. We include an analysis of the effects of dephasing and the drift of the gradient itself.

description: Metallic dopants have the potential to increase the mechanical strength of polycrystalline metals. These elements are expected to aggregate in regions of lower coordination, such as grain boundaries. At the grain boundaries, they can have a beneficial (toughening) or detrimental effect (e.g. grain boundary embrittlement). In this study, we employ Density Functional Theory (DFT) to compute the segregation energies of various metallic and other non-metallic elements to determine their effect when introduced in a symmetric Cu grain boundary. The study results may be used to qualitatively rank the beneficial effect of certain metallic elements, such as V, Zr, and Ag, as well as the strong weakening effect of non-metallic impurities like O, S, F and P. Furthermore, the induced local distortion is found to be proportional to the weakening effect of the elements.

description: We have used quantum control to suppress the impact of random atom positions on coherent population transfer within atom pairs, enabling the observation of dipole-dipole driven Rabi oscillations in a Rydberg gas with hundreds of atoms. The method exploits the reduced coupling-strength sensitivity of the off-resonant Rabi frequency, and coherently amplifies the achievable population transfer in analogy to quasi-phase-matching in non-linear optics. Simulations reproduce the experimental results and demonstrate the potential benefits of the technique to other many-body quantum control applications.

description: We study the tomographic clustering properties of the photometric cluster catalogue derived from the Third Data Release of the Kilo Degree Survey, focusing on the angular correlation function and its spherical harmonic counterpart, the angular power spectrum. We measure the angular correlation function and power spectrum from a sample of 5162 clusters, with an intrinsic richness $λ^*\geq 15$, in the photometric redshift range $z\in [0.1, 0.6]$, comparing our measurements with theoretical models, in the framework of the $Λ$-Cold Dark Matter cosmology. We perform a Monte Carlo Markov Chain analysis to constrain the cosmological parameters $Ω_{\mathrm{m}}$, $σ_8$ and the structure growth parameter $S_8\equivσ_8 \sqrt{Ω_{\mathrm{m}}/0.3}$. We adopt Gaussian priors on the parameters of the mass-richness relation, based on the posterior distributions derived from a previous joint analysis of cluster counts and weak lensing mass measurements carried out with the same catalogue. From the angular correlation function, we obtain $Ω_{\mathrm{m}}=0.32^{+0.05}_{-0.04}$, $σ_8=0.77^{+0.13}_{-0.09}$ and $S_8=0.80^{+0.08}_{-0.06}$, in agreement, within $1σ$, with 3D clustering result based on the same cluster sample and with existing complementary studies on other datasets. For the angular power spectrum, we derive statistically consistent results, in particular $Ω_{\mathrm{m}}=0.24^{+0.05}_{-0.04}$ and $S_8=0.93^{+0.11}_{-0.12}$, while the constraint on $σ_8$ alone is weaker with respect to the one provided by the angular correlation function, $σ_8=1.01^{+0.25}_{-0.17}$. Our results show that the 2D clustering from photometric cluster surveys can provide competitive cosmological constraints with respect to the full 3D clustering statistics, and can be successfully applied to ongoing and forthcoming spectro/photometric surveys.

description: We propose an estimation procedure for $d$-dimensional unitary transformations. For $d>2$, the unitary transformations close to the identity are estimated saturating the quantum Cramér-Rao bound. For $d=2$, the estimation of all unitary transformations is also optimal with some prior information. We show through numerical simulations that, even in the absence of prior information, two-dimensional unitary transformations can be estimated with greater precision than by means of standard quantum process tomography.

description: Hysteresis in the pressure-saturation relation in unsaturated porous media, owing to surface tension on the liquid-gas interface, exhibits strong degeneracy in the resulting mass balance equation. As an extension of previous existence and uniqueness results, we prove that under physically admissible initial conditions and without mass exchange with the exterior, the unique global solution of the fluid diffusion problem exists and asymptotically converges as time tends to infinity to a possibly non-homogeneous mass distribution and an a priori unknown constant pressure.

description: We formulate cosmological perturbation theory around the spatially curved FLRW background in the context of metric-affine gauge theory of gravity which includes torsion and nonmetricity. Performing scalar-vector-tensor decomposition of the spatial perturbations, we find that the theory displays a rich perturbation spectrum with helicities 0, 1, 2 and 3, on top of the usual scalar, vector and tensor metric perturbations arising from Riemannian geometry. Accordingly, the theory provides a diverse phenomenology, e.g. the helicity-2 modes of the torsion and/or nonmetricity tensors source helicity-2 metric tensor perturbation at the linear level leading to the production of gravitational waves. As an immediate application, we study linear perturbation of the nonmetricity helicity-3 modes for a general parity-preserving action of metric-affine gravity which includes quadratic terms in curvature, torsion, and nonmetricity. We then find the conditions to avoid possible instabilities in the helicity-3 modes of the spin-3 field.

description: In this study, we leverage a deep learning-based method for the automatic diagnosis of schizophrenia using EEG brain recordings. This approach utilizes generative data augmentation, a powerful technique that enhances the accuracy of the diagnosis. To enable the utilization of time-frequency features, spectrograms were extracted from the raw signals. After exploring several neural network architectural setups, a proper convolutional neural network (CNN) was used for the initial diagnosis. Subsequently, using Wasserstein GAN with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP) and Variational Autoencoder (VAE), two different synthetic datasets were generated in order to augment the initial dataset and address the over-fitting issue. The augmented dataset using VAE achieved a 3.0\% improvement in accuracy reaching up to 99.0\% and yielded a lower loss value as well as a faster convergence. Finally, we addressed the lack of trust in black-box models using the Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) algorithm to determine the most important superpixels (frequencies) in the diagnosis process.

description: Deriving closed-form, analytical expressions for reduced-order models, and judiciously choosing the closures leading to them, has long been the strategy of choice for studying phase- and noise-induced transitions for agent-based models (ABMs). In this paper, we propose a data-driven framework that pinpoints phase transitions for an ABM- the Desai-Zwanzig model in its mean-field limit, using a smaller number of variables than traditional closed-form models. To this end, we use the manifold learning algorithm Diffusion Maps to identify a parsimonious set of data-driven latent variables, and show that they are in one-to-one correspondence with the expected theoretical order parameter of the ABM. We then utilize a deep learning framework to obtain a conformal reparametrization of the data-driven coordinates that facilitates, in our example, the identification of a single parameter-dependent ODE in these coordinates. We identify this ODE through a residual neural network inspired by a numerical integration scheme (forward Euler). We then use the identified ODE - enabled through an odd symmetry transformation - to construct the bifurcation diagram exhibiting the phase transition.

description: NGC 1068 is a nearby widely studied Seyfert II galaxy presenting radio, infrared, X- and $γ$-ray emission as well as strong evidence for high-energy neutrino emission. Recently, the evidence for neutrino emission could be explained in a multimessenger model in which the neutrinos originate from the corona of the active galactic nucleus (AGN). In this environment $γ$-rays are strongly absorbed, so that an additional contribution from e.g. the circumnuclear starburst ring is necessary. In this work, we discuss whether the radio jet can be an alternative source of the $γ$-rays between about $0.1$ and $100$ GeV as observed by Fermi-LAT. In particular, we include both leptonic and hadronic processes, i.e. accounting for inverse Compton emission and signatures from $pp$ as well as $pγ$ interactions. In order to constrain our calculations, we use VLBA and ALMA observations of the radio knot structures, which are spatially resolved at different distances from the supermassive black hole. Our results show that the best leptonic scenario for the prediction of the Fermi-LAT data is provided by the radio knot closest to the central engine. For that a magnetic field strength $\sim 1\,\text{mG}$ is needed as well as a strong spectral softening of the relativistic electron distribution at $(1-10)\,\text{GeV}$. However, we show that neither such a weak magnetic field strength nor such a strong softening is expected for that knot. A possible explanation for the $\sim$ 10 GeV $γ$-rays can be provided by hadronic pion production in case of a gas density $\gtrsim 10^4\,\text{cm}^{-3}$. Nonetheless, this process cannot contribute significantly to the low energy end of the Fermi-LAT range. We conclude that the emission sites in the jet are not able to explain the $γ$-rays in the whole Fermi-LAT energy band.

description: Megacopta cribraria, kudzu bug, is an invasive pest of soybeans in the Southeast United States, with a northern distribution limit in Maryland. Soybeans, however, are grown north of Maryland, which places producers at risk of future range shifts. Additionally, producers in the current distribution need a development model to aid management. To address both concerns, I studied the cold tolerance of the kudzu bug and its phenology. I examined the supercooling point (SCP) and lethal temperature to kill 50% (LLT50) of three populations over the fall of 2015 to determine the cold tolerance. I found the kudzu bug is a freeze avoidant species with an average SCP of -12.6°C and LLT50 of -5.1°C. I also determined that the kudzu bug moves to thermally protected leaf litter in late November to overwinter. To address phenology, I determined the kudzu bug requires 625 degree-days at a minimum temperature of 16°C to complete egg and nymphal development. Field validation fit the model well with a biofix of May 1st and 30 days for a preoviposition period. The phenological degree-day model indicates two generations per year and allows producers evaluate and time pest management strategies within a year. Cold tolerance enables producers to predict the surviving population each year as well as the potential for northward range expansion.

description: Thin films, bubbles and membranes are central to numerous natural and engineering processes, i.e., in thin-film solar cells, coatings, biosensors, electrowetting displays, foams, and emulsions. Yet, the characterization and an adequate understanding of their rupture is limited by the scarcity of atomic detail. We present here the complete life-cycle of freely suspended films using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of a simple atomic fluid free of surfactants and surface impurities, thus isolating the fundamental rupture mechanisms. Counter to the conventional notion that rupture occurs randomly, we discovered a short-term 'memory' by rewinding in time from a rupture event, extracting deterministic behaviors from apparent stochasticity. A comprehensive investigation of the key rupture-stages including both unrestrained and frustrated propagation is made - characterization of the latter leads to a first-order correction to the classical film-retraction theory. Furthermore, the highly resolved time window reveals that the different modes of the morphological development, typically characterized as heterogeneous nucleation and spinodal decomposition, continuously evolve seamlessly with time from one into the other.

description: Antiquities are looted from archaeological sites across the world, seemingly more often in areas of armed conflict. Previously, the relationship between antiquities looting and armed conflict has been assessed with qualitative case studies and journalistic evidence due to a lack of data. This study considers the relationship between antiquities looting and armed conflict in Egypt from 1997 – 2014 with a newly collected time series dataset. A combination of Lag-augmented Vector Autoregression (LA-VAR) and Autoregressive Distributed Lag Models (ARDL) is used to look at both the overall relationship between these two phenomena and their temporal ordering. Ultimately, this thesis finds that: (1) antiquities looting and armed conflict have a positive statistically significant relationship, (2) there is stronger support for antiquities looting preceding armed conflict than for the reverse temporal ordering, and (3) this relationship varies by type of conflict.
