Models and algorithms for event-driven networks
Creators: name: Thompson, Brian Evan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Many real-world systems can be represented as networks driven by discrete {em events}, each event identified by the time at which it occurs and the parties involved. An event could be a meeting, a stock trade, a phone call, an email, a gang fight, an online or off-line purchase, a blog post, a conference, or the transmission of an IP packet. Innovations in technology have increased our ability to collect massive amounts of digital data from such networks, which presents both new opportunities and new challenges. In this work, we develop new theoretical models and efficient algorithms that leverage the temporal and relational information inherent in the data to better understand and analyze real-world networks. In particular, we consider three problems: (1) detecting correlated events in communication networks; (2) discovering functional communities; and (3) modeling collaboration in academia.    First we present a new stochastic model for event-driven networks, and with it develop two algorithms -- a streaming local algorithm, and an efficient global algorithm -- to detect statistically correlated activity. We demonstrate that our approach, which models each communication channel as its own stochastic process, is better able to accommodate the temporal variability present in real-world communication networks than existing methods.    Next we study diffusion processes in information networks, identifying functional communities as groups of individuals who participate in the dissemination of common content by reframing the problem as one of co-clustering sparse matrices. We propose a new co-clustering algorithm that does not require user-specified parameters, and leverages sparsity in the data to run in sublinear time in the size of the matrix.    Finally, we build a game-theoretic model for academic collaboration, representing the academic environment as a repeated game in which each researcher tries to maximize his or her academic success. We find analytically that limitations of existing collaboration models may result in misleading predictions about people's behavior.

Measurement of nuclear dependence in inclusive charged current neutrino scattering
Creators: name: Tice, Brian George
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Neutrino experiments use heavy nuclei (C, Fe, Pb) to achieve necessary statistics. However, the  use of heavy nuclei exposes these experiments to the nuclear dependence of neutrino-nucleus  cross sections, which are poorly known and difficult to model.  This dissertation presents an analysis of the nuclear dependence of inclusive charged-current neutrino scattering using events in carbon, iron, lead, and scintillator targets of the MINERvA detector. MINERvA (Main INjector ExpeRiment for ν-A) is a few-GeV neutrino nucleus scattering experiment at Fermilab. Acceptance of the muon spectrometer limits the analysis to 2 GeV < Eν < 20 GeV and 0◦ < θμ < 1&◦ . The total cross section σ and differential cross section dσ/dxbj are measured, but the final result is ratios of these cross sections.  Taking ratios dramatically reduces systematic uncertainties, most notably from the flux. This  is the first precision measurement of nuclear effects using neutrino interactions in the non-perturbative, few-GeV regime.  The modeling of nuclear-dependence is found to be adequate as a function of neutrino energy, but fails to describe the xbj -dependence. The data show an enhancement in the cross section at xbj > 0.& which grows with the size of the nucleus and a suppression of the cross section at xbj < 0.1 which also grows with the size of the nucleus. Neither the enhancement nor the suppression are predicted by current neutrino interaction simulation codes.

The role of resveratrol and its analogs in inflammation, preadipocyte differentiation & neuroblastoma differentiation
Creators: name: Tiwari, Priti S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: In this dissertation, I have evaluated the role of heat (physical) stress in cell death. It has been previously reported that heat shock causes cancer cell death and is currently used as an adjuvant therapy in cancer treatment (Wust 2002). However, heat therapy is currently limited due to the requirement of high temperatures (45°C) for physiological effect. Improved efficacy of treatment could be achieved by understanding the mechanism of heat shock induced tumor cell death which is not well understood.    A possible mechanism for heat induced tumor cell death could involve activation of proteases by heat which degrades key survival proteins thus leading to loss of viability. It has been previously reported that heat shock induced tumor cell death is associated with loss of eIF5A, a highly conserved survival protein (Takeuchi 2002, Gosslau 2009).    I have independently reconfirmed the results of these studies and further evaluated the role of two protease inhibitors. The findings suggest the possibility that various proteases get activated by heat shock and multiple proteins, including eIF5A get degraded eventually leading to loss of viability. The findings of this dissertation strengthen the hypothesis that proteases are involved in heat induced tumor cell death and use of small molecule activators of proteases could possibly improve the efficacy of heat-treatment through synergistic/additive mechanism.    I studied the effect of resveratrol ((3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) and its analogs, MR-4 (3,4,5,4’-tetramethoxy-trans-stilbene) and MC-4 (3,4,5,4’-tetramethoxy-cis-stilbene) in inflammation, neuroblastoma differentiation and preadipocyte differentiation where resveratrol has been reported to be involved. In this dissertation, I have successfully established the effect of MC4 and MR4 in inflammation, neuroblastoma and adipogenesis disease models.    The mechanism of action for these biomolecules remains to be evaluated but it can be speculated that AMPK is a potential upstream target of resveratrol, MC4 and MR4, given that AMPK is known to play a role inflammation, neuroblastoma differentiation and adipogenesis.    Both MC4 and MR4 offer the advantage of improved bioavailability and lower dosage to achieve the same physiological effect as resveratrol making them an attractive target for therapeutics in inflammation, neuroblastoma and adipogenesis.

Evaluating treatment related changes for prostate cancer via image analysis tools and magnetic resonance imaging
Creators: name: Toth, Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The goal of this work is to quantitatively evaluate treatment response following prostate cancer treatment, via the development of novel segmentation and registration methods for: radical prostatectomy, focal laser ablation (FLA) and external beam radiation treatment (EBRT) imaging data.    Radical prostatectomy specimens are evaluated via accurately quantifying the prostate volume pre- and post-treatment.  A novel Multi-Feature, Landmark Free Active Appearance Model (MFLAAM) algorithm has been developed to automatically determine the volume.  This is compared to submersing the removed prostate in water.  Quantitative results show that the MFLAAM yields more accurate segmentations than existing state of the art systems, and offers highly accurate volume estimations compared to current clinical volume estimation procedures.    In order to evaluate EBRT and FLA treatments for prostate cancer, the pre-, post-treatment MRI images must be spatially aligned.  However, existing tools do not take into account specific treatment related changes to the prostate.  In addition, no automatic quantitative tools for specifically evaluating treatment changes exist.  The prostate consists of distinct internal substructures central gland (CG) and peripheral zone (PZ).  Our model aims to explicitly take into account the different effects treatment may have on the shapes of the internal prostatic structures.  In order to automatically segment the CG and PZ, the MFLAAM algorithm was extended to simultaneously segment multiple objects.    Following the automatic segmentation, a finite element model (FEM) registration algorithm is introduced.  An FEM uses physical properties to constrain the registration to only physically-real deformations.  In addition, the shrinking of the prostate (which occurs due to radiation treatment) is specifically modeled.  This FEM was quantitatively compared to other registration techniques, and was the best performing algorithm over 30 patients.  Finally, a separate FEM is developed to compensate for the changes in the surrounding organs (bladder and rectum filling), which is essential for one to isolate the treatment-related changes in the prostate.    Following an accurate registration, changes in the MR parameters, changes in the prostate volume, and changes in prostate morphology are calculated.  We envision that this work will pave the way for predictive models in order to predict patient outcome from early follow-up imaging data.

Year: 2024

description: We study the (variable-length) codes of the
 form~$X \cup \ENS{a^n}$ where~$X \subseteq a^*\omega a^*$ and~$\CARD{X} = n$.
 We extend various notions and results from \textit{factorizations of cyclic groups} theory
 to this type of codes.
 In particular, when~$n$ is the product of at most three primes or has the form~$p^k q$
 (with~$p$ and~$q$ prime), we prove that they are composed of prefix and suffix codes.
 We provide counterexamples for other~$n$.
 It implies that the long-standing triangle conjecture
 is true for this type of~$n$.
 We also prove a conjecture about the size of a potential counterexample to the conjecture.

Year: 1981

description: With the need for adequate justification for wasteload allocations that potentially require expensive additions to treatment facilities, a need for extensive aquatic background studies has arisen. The characterization of an aquatic system with respect to chemical constituency, physical properties, and biological integrity andprocesses is essential to the responsible assignment of wasteloadallocations within the system's watershed.In an effort to meet New Jersey's water quality goals in three watersheds, analysis of pollutant sources in each watershed and the assignment of appropriate wasteload allocations, or institution of beneficial management strategies, has been recommended. As the first step in this process, extensive background studies were conducted on three major river segments between May and September of 1980. This report discusses the findings of one of these intensive surveys.

description: A counting problem on colored tilings on grids of size $2\times n$, proposed as a question
 in Mathematics Stack Exchange, is solved by using generating functions. Additionally, we introduce a
 variation of this problem for hexagonal grids. We show that for any fixed integer $m$, one can use the
 symbolic method to characterize the number of colored tilings configurations on an $m\times n$ grid by
 a bivariate generating function. In particular, we discuss the details for the cases $m=1, 2, 3$ as well
 as the expected value and variance of the number of tiles for these cases. Considerations for the general
 case $m\times n$ are discussed and experimentations for the expected values are showed. Many of these
 results were discovered using Monte Carlo experiments.

Comments
Spathosterninae is one of the smallest subfamilies within the Acrididae, consisting of 12 valid species within a single tribe and three genera: two species of Spathosternum (S. prasiniferum and S. venulosum) are found in Pakistan. These species are characterized by their common occurrence, wide distribution, and typical habitat preferences in damp grassy areas. They are commonly found in habitats associated with the margins of seasonal and more permanent marshes, as well as along riverine swamplands and drawdown areas. Several members of the genus seem to exhibit the same infraspecific wing polymorphism as Hieroglyphus daganesis. It is worth noting that both genera are associated with similar marshy habitats (Rowell & Hemp 2017). Spathosterninae are widely distributed in West and Central Africa and are well known in South Asia and Australia (Dirsh, 1975, Mestre, 1988, Mestre & Chiffaud 2006, Seino 1989). It was observed that S. prasiniferum and S. venulosum are common species, but the latter was not reported from Sindh. Neither of these species was encountered in Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. The present study suggests that more surveys should be planned in northern areas.

Comments
Teratodinae is a little-known subfamily, with a very small number of described species (23) within eight genera. Among these genera, only Kabulia is found in Pakistan, which includes three species: K. balucha, K. evansi, and K. kostylevi. All described species are Palearctic and restricted to Balochistan. Ramme established the genus Kabulia, which includes two remarkable flightless grasshoppers, K. afghana from Afghanistan and Kabulia indica from India. Later, Uvarov added two more species, K. balucha and K. evansi, from Baluchistan, Pakistan. The genus harbors rich Pakistani holotype diversity, including K. kostylevi. Usually, teratodines prefer arid environments; however, some are found in areas with desert grass and acacia thorn bushes. All species appear to be thermophilic, i.e., living in bushes or shrubs), possibly associated with Malvaceous shrubs (Kevan 1949, Donskoff 1977). Although flightless, these insects can leap several feet at a time, with one leap by a male measured at approximately seven feet (Kavan 1949). It has been noticed that Kabulia seems to be very rare in appearance and, to date, is only known from the type locality Balochistan. Currently, five specimens, two of each K. balucha, and K. kostylevi, and a single individual of K. evansi, have been reported. However, the last specimen was collected for the first time from the Juniper Forest in Ziarat, a protected area in Balochistan. The present study suggests that further additions to the number of species can be confidently expected when the fauna of the Palearctic region is better explored.

Synthesis and functionalization of gold nanorods for probing plasmonic enhancement mechanisms in organic photovoltaic active layers
Creators: name: Wadams, Robert Christopher
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Incorporation of plasmonic nanostructures into organic photovoltaic solar cells (OPVs) is proposed to address photovoltaic losses within these devices, such as radiative and non-radiative charge recombination, and insufficient light trapping.  Plasmonic nanostructures are sub-wavelength antennae that harness light energy through localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs), providing energy-specific light management through far-field Rayleigh-scattering. Furthermore, induction of LSPRs produces high electric fields local to the nanostructure, which have been shown to enhance absorption and emission in fluorescent organic molecules; both manifestations of plasmon resonance are expected to enhance OPV performance through increased light-trapping, and active layer absorbance or emission, respectively. Herein, we employ the aspect ratio-dependent longitudinal-LSPR (L-LSPR) of gold nanorods to investigate plasmonic enhancement in OPVs.    In this dissertation, gold nanorods (Au NRs) are fabricated by a seed-mediated synthesis. Methods are developed to provide L-LSPRs between 66& nm and 1018 nm using identical growth conditions; altering aspect ratio is performed by controlling the introduction time of the co-surfactant benzyldimethylammonium chloride (BDAC) to the NR growth reaction.  The time-dependent influence of BDAC on Au NR aspect ratio is most evident during early times of NR growth (0-20 minutes), directly correlating to growth stages which are susceptible to epitaxial micellar adsorption and passivation of the growing crystalline facets. Analysis of Au NR morphology indicate that increased aspect ratio is brought about through BDAC’s inhibition of Au adatom adsorption to longitudinal facets, and a simultaneous increase in adatom adsorption to tip facets.     A series of Au NRs are then fabricated, functionalized, and dispersed within poly (3-hexylthiophene): phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT: PCBM) bulk-heterojunction active layers. Au NRs with L-LSPRs of varying spectral overlap with the absorption and emission bands of the electron donor’s (P3HT) spectrum are prepared, in order to probe far-field and near-field enhancement mechanisms. OPV devices are fabricated from the nanoparticle-active layer composites, and their photovoltaic performance characterized.  Substantial improvements in power conversion efficiency, up to 30%, are reported.  Device performance increases with increasing L-LSPR wavelength.  Evidence of plasmonic enhancements is not explicit; increased efficiency is attributed to improvements in molecular ordering of P3HT, as indicated by grazing incidence x-ray diffraction studies.
On a hardy type inequality and a singular Sturm-Liouville equation
Creators: name: Wang, Hui

description: In this dissertation, we first prove a Hardy type inequality for $uin W;{m,1}70(Omega)$, where $Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain in $mathbb{R};N$ and $mgeq2$. For all $jgeq 0$, $1leq kleq m-1$, such that $1leq j+kleq m$, it holds that $frac{partial;ju(x)}{d(x);{m-j-k}}in W;{k,1}70(Omega)$, where $d$ is a smooth positive function which coincides with $dist(x,domega)$ near $domega$, and $partial;l$ denotes any partial differential operator of order $l$.    We also study a singular Sturm-Liouville equation $-(x;{2alpha}u')'+u=f$ on $(0,1)$, with the boundary condition $u(1)=0$. Here $alpha>0$ and $fin L;2(0,1)$. We prescribe appropriate (weighted) homogeneous and non-homogeneous boundary conditions at 0 and prove the existence and uniqueness of $H;27{loc}(0,1]$ solutions. We study the regularity at the origin of such solutions. We perform a spectral analysis of the differential operator $mathcal{L}u:=-(x;{2alpha}u')'+u$ under homogeneous boundary conditions.    Finally, we are interested in the equation $-(|x|;{2alpha}u')'+|u|;{p-1}u=mu$ on $(-1, 1)$ with boundary condition $u(-1)=u(1)=0$. Here $alpha>0$, $pgeq1$ and $mu$ is a bounded Radon measure on the interval $(-1,1)$. We identify an appropriate concept of solution for this equation, and we establish some existence and uniqueness results. We examine the limiting behavior of three approximation schemes. The isolated singularity at 0 is also investigated.

Agricultural research and development in India and the cost of capital investment
Creators: name: Wang, Victor A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The cost of research and development is a topic rarely explored for developing nations. The ability for a developing nation’s firms to acquire capital to invest in R&D is reflected by the government’s policies toward innovation, conditions affecting the acquisition of funds within the firm, conditions affecting the acquisition of funds outside the firm, and the availability of venture-capital financing and capital gains taxation. This thesis provides a compilation of some of the vast amount of economic literature on R&D, a unique framework surrounding the effect of cost on R&D, and an empirical test of the importance of the availability of capital as a determinant of R&D. The cost variables used include firm data on the annual borrowings, leverage, subsidies and grants, and interest rates. In addition, annual sales data, the age of the firm, and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) were used to include revenue-related aspects a firm faces that might affect R&D expenditure. Using an unbalanced Indian firm-level panel, the goal of this thesis is to analyze of the relationship between the cost of capital investment and R&D while also including revenue-related variables for the pesticide and fertilizer industries. The dataset used for this analysis comes from The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) which includes 1989-90 until 2009-2010. In addition, it was supplemented with variables from IMF and survey data collected by Pray and Nagarajan (2013). The empirical analysis utilizes a Random Effects General Least Squares regression for two models with two variations with different dependent variables: R&D expenditure and R&D intensity. The results show that a firm’s level of debt and external financing are positively related to R&D to start, supporting the notion that a firm’s ability to acquire capital will affect its total R&D expenditure. However, debt is negatively related to R&D after a certain threshold is passed, supporting the concept of risk aversion among firms. In addition, the results supports previous literature which found that variables such as sales affect R&D positively. Finally, the results show that additional research is necessary to understand more fully the nature of cost in R&D investment.
