On the roots of polynomials modulo primes
Creators: name: Bryk, John T.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: We study the problem of counting the number of roots of an irreducible polynomial $f(X) in mathbb{Z}[X]$ modulo rational primes.  We consider the family of polynomials $f7n(X) = X;n-X-1$, which have Galois groups isomorphic to $S7n$.  The approach we take is to attach Galois representations to the counting problem and then to relate these to automorphic forms.  In particular, we attempt to attach the representations to holomorphic forms on $GL72$.  We show this only works when $n leq 5$, and we present the solutions to the problem in the $n = 4$ and $5$ cases, following methods due to Serre, Crespo, and Buhler for explicitly constructing Galois representations.  The solution to the $n = 5$ case is novel, requiring Hilbert modular forms.  In solving the problem, we produce the first example of an icosahedral Hilbert form that is not the base change of a classical form.

Season/survey: Wet (May 2018, Nov 2018), dry (Aug 2019).
Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 073, 146, 207, 256, 269, 248, 595; IVB-H-CD 18109, 18122–18127, 18232; NMP-P6 V 76077/1–10, 76078/1–3.
Comments: All observed adult specimens of Cryptothylax were of large size, identified as C. greshoffii, and thus did not fit the description of the enigmatic C. minutus (Laurent 1976b). This species occurs in open areas along streams or near swamps with rich high herbaceous vegetation. Cryptothylax only rarely enters the margins of forests. This sexually dichromatic species has yellowish to brown males and whitish to pinkish females with orange discs on the toes, which is a state of color dichromatism similar to that of the genus Congolius. Metamorphs of this species are relatively large and quite tuberculous with beige to pinkish lateral stripes and a brown dorsum, a pattern sometimes visible in adult males but less conspicuous. We encountered this species only relatively rarely, which is probably due to the presence of predominantly forested habitats in Kokolopori.

User-independent robust statistics for computer vision
Creators: name: Mittal, Sushil
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The goal of robust methods in computer vision is to extract all the information necessary to solve a given task while discarding everything that is not needed. The tasks can be very simple or very complex, but in real-life applications, a robust procedure is always required. In the end, the performance of a machine for solving a vision problem will be judged against that of human observers performing the equivalent task. Since we know that the human visual system works in a much more sophisticated manner than the present day computer vision systems, this ultimate goal is still far away. Nonetheless, the aim of robust computer vision systems has always been to emulate human vision-like behavior in the presence of noise. Furthermore, therobust algorithms should be independent of user inputs up to quite a large extent. However, contrary to this, almost all state-of-the-art robust estimation algorithms are dependent on the user for providing some information about the underlying characteristics of the data on which the algorithm operates. Often times, it is hard for the user to supply such information to thealgorithm. The work presented here focuses on developing robust algorithms for computer vision, thatcan estimate the underlying model in the data without any sort of user intervention. We present several interesting applications both in geometric computer vision and medical imaging. In the first part, we present a completely user-free robust regression algorithm called the generalized projection based M-estimator (gpbM) which can estimate multiple inlier structures present in the data also containing a lot of gross outliers without any user input. We also show how themodel estimate can be further refined by using optimization on Grassmann manifolds. In the second part, we present three important applications in medical imaging involving 3D computed tomography (CT) data – automatic detection of coronary lesions, automatic correction of coronary centerlines and automatic segmentation of coronary vessels. Finally, in the third part, we present the application of automatic and robust document image alignment and comparison.
Impact of geometry on blood flow patterns in abdominal aortic aneurysms
Creators: name: Patel, Vashishth
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the 13th leading cause of death in the US.  The dilation of aneurysm and the risk of rupture depend on hemodynamic stresses on the wall and changes in wall mechanics and structural properties, which are both impacted by blood flow patterns. Flow patterns in AAA are affected by the changes in the geometry of aneurysm bulge and associated vessels. So it becomes obvious that the flow patterns pertaining to various geometrical aspects of AAA should be understood in order to better understand stress and physiological impacts and etiology of AAA rupture. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the impact of geometrical parameters in combination with boundary conditions on the flow patterns and pressure distribution in AAA models was evaluated in this study.  Bifurcation angle in combination with asymmetry has significant impact on blood flow patterns and pressure distribution in the aneurysm bulge. Increase in aneurysm bulge size leads to increased turbulence and instability in the flow characterized by complex flow patterns and increased vortex sizes in both axi-symmetric and asymmetric bulges. Larger asymmetric aneurysms are more prone to increased wall stress distributions, high wall shear stresses and increased overall pressure in the aneurysm bulge making it more likely to rupture.  The rupture risk for large asymmetric aneurysm is highest at the posterior distal end of the aneurysm bulge due the complex flow patterns in this region and high fluid shear stresses generated due to high velocity gradients. The neck angle dramatically changes the flow patterns in both the symmetric and asymmetric aneurysms leading to aggravating blood flow patterns with irregular vortices formation that lead to high wall shear stresses and stress concentrations at the proximal neck and distal end of the aneurysm bulge. The increase in Re number leads increased turbulent flow and high fluid shear stresses near the distal end of the aneurysm bulge. Change in outlet pressure at the iliac arteries does not impact either the flow patterns or pressure distribution patterns for aneurysms.

Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 159, 587–592, 610, 614.
Comments: This species seems to be relatively rare in Kokolopori. Individuals were found calling and well hidden in the dense herbaceous vegetation that overgrew a small stream in farmbush at the edge of secondary forest. This species has two distinct color morphs. One has a camouflage-like pattern corresponding to the “facies kuligae ” (Laurent 1950), while the second has light canthal and dorsolateral stripes extending halfway down the body. We refer to the latter as the “forma albomarginata ” (Fig. 8F) following the name of the phenotypically corresponding nominal taxon Hyperolius albomarginatus Laurent, 1940, synonymized with H. langi (Laurent 1950). There has been a long-standing debate regarding the taxonomic distinction and distributions of H. langi (type locality in Bas-Uele, NE DRC) and H. kuligae (type locality on Mt. Cameroon), e.g., Schiøtz (1999). As the color pattern variation in H. langi from northeastern DRC (unpub. data) basically corresponds to the variation of H. kuligae in Cameroon (cf. Amiet 2012), this suggests that the two species share these phenotypic characteristics. We follow Köhler et al. (2005), who studied advertisement calls, with the opinion that the two species represent vicariants with H. kuligae in western and H. langi in eastern Central Africa. The relatively deep genomic divergence also supports the species status of both taxa (Portik et al. 2019). However, the exact distributional limits of the two species are unknown. As the Kokolopori population is relatively distant from the type locality (located north of the Congo River), and also considering some differences in coloration details, we refer to this population as H. cf. langi. Interestingly, Bittencourt-Silva (2019) reported a finding of the little-known H. major from a forest patch in northwestern Zambia, supposedly genetically close to H. langi and H. kuligae. However, the photographed male differs in coloration from the Kokolopori specimens. Individuals with the camouflage-like pattern may be confused with H. cf. platyceps and the hourglass specimens of H. cf. cinnamomeoventris, as all three species have similar color pattern variations. The photographed specimen of “ H. kuligae ” from Boteka (western Équateur Province) reported by Schiøtz (2006) could be conspecific with H. cf. langi.

The action functional on dual Legendrian submanifolds of the loop space of a contact three dimensional closed manifold
Creators: name: Maalaoui, Ali
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: The main object of my dissertation is the study of the action functional of a contact form on a three dimensional manifold. This is part of a long program started by Professor A. Bahri [3], [4] in constructing a contact homology giving information about the number of periodic orbits of the Reeb vector field, that is an attempt to approach the Weinstein conjecture for 3-manifolds. Even though it appears to be proved by C. Taubes in a series of paper (see for instance [39] for more details). Given a closed 3-dimensional manifold, we prove an S1 homotopy equivalence between a subspace Cß of Legendrian curves and the free loop space. This space appears to be convenient from a variational point of view, in contact form geometry and used in the approach developed by A. Bahri. Indeed, it is the right space of variations on which we study the action functional. In a second part we study the Fredholm assumption for a modifed version of the action functional on the variational space Cß. That is, whether the functional is Fredholm or not. We take here the text-book case-study of a sequence of overtwisted contact forms on the 3-sphere introduced by Gonzalo and Varela [26]. We show that the Fredholm assumption does not hold. This is done by studying the dynamics of the contact form along a vector field on its kernel. We also prove the existence of a foliation stuck between the contact form and its Legendre dual in the part where they have opposite orientation. In the last part we present an explicit computation of the Bahri contact homology for a sequence of tight contact structures in the torus. We also extend this result to the case of torus bundles over S1. The homology that we find, allows us in particular to confirm the fact that the contact structures are not isotopic since it has different values for each structure.

description: Most cells from higher organisms, including humans, do not divide indefinitely. After certain number of cell divisions cells permanently stop proliferating. In addition, cells damaged by radiation, oxidative stress and other agents may also permanently stop growing. This permanent arrest in cell growth is termed cellular senescence. Senescent cells accumulate with age in humans. One of the consequences of cellular senescence is that senescent cells change some of their characteristics. For example, cells present in the fibrous matrix that surrounds many tissues and organs (stromal fibroblasts), upon reaching senescence, start degrading the tissue matrix rather than producing it. This can stimulate near-by cells to proliferate.

 The number of breast cancer cases rises dramatically with age. We have proposed that cellular senescence contributes to this age-related rise in cancer because senescent fibroblasts (cells present in the tissue matrix) create a more permissive tissue environment for the development of cancer. We will investigate which particular mutations in breast cells make them sensitive to senescent fibroblasts and are therefore, critical for age-related breast cancer development.

 To test the idea that senescent fibroblasts (cells present in the tissue matrix) create a more permissive tissue environment for the development of cancer, we have developed cell culture models in which we can study the effects of senescent cells on breast characteristics. We plan to use these models to measure the ability of breast cells with specific mutations to grow and become aggressive when stimulated by senescent fibroblasts. In this way we will explore how age-related changes in cellular environment influence mutated breast cells and stimulate them to develop into cancer.

 This study seeks to fill a gap in our knowledge of cellular events involved in an understudied aspect of breast cancer - the contribution of age-induced changes in tissue environment to cancer development. In this proposal, we will establish how changes in the environment induced by aging and/or tissue damage can work together with the changes within the breast cell itself (mutations) to promote the transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell.

 In the long term, understanding the role changes in tissue environment, such as accumulation of damaged and senescent cells during aging, may have in development of breast cancer is crucial for formulating rational breast cancer prevention and treatment. For example, decisions on how to treat a patient may be influenced by the extent to which breast tissue environment is modified. In addition, it is possible to envision strategies aimed at selectively reversing or preventing changes in the tissue matrix caused by senescent cells.

description: Despite the urgency imposed by the current biodiversity crisis, many species remain undescribed, facing extinction before their formal recognition by science. Accelerating species descriptions is thus imperative. However, descriptions should be robust and based on good taxonomic practice, which may enhance long-term nomenclatural stability that is crucial for scientific research and conservation planning. Yet, few studies have assessed the robustness of species description. Here, we evaluated temporal trends in species descriptions of nearly 4,000 squamate reptiles spanning more than three decades (from 1990 to 2023). We observed an average increase of about 115% in the number of lines of evidence used in descriptions, such as pholidosis, morphometrics, and genes sequenced for molecular analysis. Type-series size decreased by nearly half for lizards but remained roughly constant for snakes, while page length dedicated to descriptions showed an upward trajectory for both taxa, increasing 42.7% on average over time. Furthermore, our study highlights the positive correlation between robust species descriptions (i.e. measured by the number of lines of evidence provided, type-series size, and number of pages) and taxonomic reviews, as well as the impact of collaborative efforts, with more authors on descriptions associated with greater lines of evidence and pages. Overall, descriptions of reptiles have become more thorough and robust over recent decades. The proportion of species descriptions that included molecular analysis has grown over time, with more than half of all species described annually in recent years having molecular data. Despite hundreds of new reptile species being described annually, the potential invalidation of many species in the future may jeopardise current conservation efforts. Therefore, thorough, accurate descriptions are important in addressing the biodiversity crisis and providing reliable data for biodiversity analyses and conservation planning.

A multi-proxy look at deglacial southwest Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature and thermocline source water changes
Creators: name: Schiraldi, Benedetto
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Glacial-interglacial changes in global and regional temperature have been linked to changes in insolation, winds, and ocean circulation. This study reconstructs sea surface temperature (SST) and source water provenance across the last deglaciation (~30-5 kyr BP) in five sediment cores in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand and places these in a regional context by comparing these results to previously published work.SST reconstructions from Mg/Ca ratios in the planktonic foraminiferaGlobogerina bulloides and alkenones (Ú) track different seasons’ SST spring and summer, respectively. During the last glacial maximum (LGM, 26-22 kyr BP), summer SSTs average 16.4°C while spring SSTs were 13.6; about 4°C cooler than modern. The seasons track well with each other and maintain a constant offset of 3.3-2.8°C as temperatures increase into the Holocene, peaking at 21.&°C for summer and 18.4°C for spring. Comparison to model reconstructions of local insolation yielded correlation to winter insolation from the LGM (~26 kyr BP) to the Antarctic Cold Reversal ACR (~14.1 kyr BP) after which SSTs correlate well to their respective seasonal insolation. Comparison of this study’s temperatures to published SSTs indicate that deglacial warming of subtropical waters differ from subantarctic waters that warmed later and by 2°C more than subtropical waters.δ18O and δ13C from planktonic foraminifera G. bulloides and Globorotalia inflate were used to reconstruct δ18O of seawater (δ18Osw) and track source water provenance. In the LGM, depleted δ18OSW averaging 0.2‰, and enriched δ13C ranging between -0.4-0.1‰ indicate shallow water masses had a strong local Southern Ocean component. A step change occurs at 20.1 kyr BP where δ13C depletes to -1.3‰ that suggests a deglacial shift in shallow subsurface water mass source location to a distal subtropical component likely sourcing through the equatorial Pacific that persists into the Holocene. A regional comparison indicates numerous switches between distal-subtropical and proximal- subantarctic influences during the early deglaciation. This ends at the ACR, which figures as a tipping point for stabilization and onset of modern circulation.
Measuring sprawl in the United States
Creators: name: Wu, Yue
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Sprawl is significant, low-density development taking place at the periphery wherein there exists limited infrastructure and public services. It has been the subject of much research, due to its widespread occurrence. Previous empirical studies of sprawl measurement had three significant weaknesses: 1) incomplete coverage of the geography being measured; 2) an absence of regional differences in the density variable, and 3) a lack of exclusion of undevelopable lands when calculating the density of an area. In an effort to overcome these shortcomings, this study: 1) measures sprawl for all 3091 counties in the US using economic areas (EA) to group counties; 2) uses variable densities (locally-determined cultural densities) in the sprawl calculation; and 3) calculates “refined densities” for all states and counties in the US by excluding undevelopable lands from the density calculation. Further, the research results included here are compared with those of Rolf Pendall (1999), Robert W. Burchell (2002), and Reid Ewing (2003b), in order to ascertain the impact of their more comprehensive measurement methods on sprawl measurement results.  Based upon accurate variable densities, one of six county land use types (urban center, urban, suburban, rural center, rural, undeveloped) is assigned to each US county; a sprawl/non-sprawl is then determined for each county. As a result, out of all 3091 US counties, 492 experience sprawl development during the 2000 to 2020 time period. Over 80 percent (or 396 counties) of these 492 sprawling counties are rural or undeveloped counties; the remaining one-fifth are developing suburban and rural center counties.  With no exception, the “refined density” of an individual state is greater than its “gross density.” About 65 percent (or 32) of US states have “refined densities” that are at least 1.2 times their original gross densities.  Several conclusions can be drawn using the comparative analyses included here. First, sprawl research must focus on the nation as a whole, or on select component regions. Second, variable density is crucial to the accurate calculation urban versus rural counties nationally. Third, developable land must be employed when calculating variable density (i.e. undevelopable lands must be excluded from the density calculation).

description: “Big data” refers to the unprecedented and growing amounts and types of digital data from sources like social media, sensor networks, and scientific instruments from genome sequencers to telescopes and satellites. It is widely recognized that big data holds enormous potential for solving many societal problems. However, these data collections are growing too fast, too vast and becoming too complex for traditional information technology processes to handle. Hosting a number of big data experts, UC has become a leader in big data research with institutes focused on big data infrastructure, genomics, and biomedical sensors. However, there is currently no unified effort, at UC or elsewhere, to leverage the abundant data produced by social media sites (“social big data”). This represents a critical opportunity for UC to establish and sustain leadership in novel area of research with wide-ranging applications. One in four people worldwide are using social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, to create, share, and discuss content. Social media users are continuously generating large volumes of public data containing information on their activities, plans and intentions, moods and opinions, and social interactions. Thus, social big data holds valuable insights for all areas of research that aim to understand what, when, why, or how people do, say, or think. As researchers at UCLA, UCSC, UCSD, and UCI, we have disjointedly laid the groundwork for breakthrough methods to access and analyze social big data. The cohesion of our efforts as one UC Social Big Data Institute (UC SBDI) will enable us to build bridges across campuses and disciplines and attract the funding and recognition necessary to pioneer a new, interdisciplinary area of research. The Planning Award will allow us to develop the infrastructure needed to spur and support new collaborations of researchers conducting cutting-edge and translational research in this area. We will form a Steering Committee, draft a Strategic Plan, hold six Institute-wide meetings open to all interested UC researchers, create a website and online social network for sharing resources, and hire a multicampus team of four postdoctoral scholars. Ultimately, UC SBDI will engage government agencies, businesses, not-for-profits, and stakeholder groups in projects of mutual interest, to scale innovations for addressing matters of local to global importance.

description: The lung is a complex structure consisting of a network of various cell types, and a diverse extracellular matrix (ECM). The varied composition of this tissue poses a significant challenge for study and replication in vitro. Previous attempts in tissue engineering have failed to capture the multifaceted biomechanical cues that regulate tissue homeostasis in the lung, as they are often focused on enriching a single type of ECM protein in the developed scaffold. To address this limitation and gain a comprehensive understanding of lung mechanobiology, a 3D scaffold derived from porcine decellularized lung tissue is proposed. It is hypothesized that the levels of ECM proteins in lung tissue may vary based on sex due to differences in disease incidence and outcomes demonstrated between male and female patients. This variation in protein levels may affect the interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix, potentially influencing the susceptibility of diseases and the degree of responses to treatment. Thus, we aim to examine how sex influences ECM proteins and cellular behavior within the decellularized lung scaffold. Preliminary results indicate successful decellularization of the tissues with no visible nuclear material, low total protein, low collagen, and low elastin levels compared to native lung tissue. When investigating male-female specific disparities, we observe variations in sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) and elastin levels. These results imply the existence of sex-specific differences in the ECM of pig lungs. Currently, the research is focused on analyzing the structural integrity in male and female dECM using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to assess stiffness and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to examine ultrastructure.

Material examined. One specimen. MB28-004752, ZDTR, 20 Oct. 2013, 0.3m, 12mm.
Habitats. Subtropical tidal reef.
Occurrences. Zavora.
Geographic distribution. Indo-west Pacific. Australia (Burn 2006), Tanzania (Eliot 1905), Mozambique.
Remarks. This specimen matches Eliot’s (1904d) description of Facelina lineata with three orange marks on the head, black rhinophores and a subapical orange band on the cerata. The only differing feature is the shape of the rhinophores. Eliot’s (1904d) description mentions rhinophores with annulae (pl. XVI, fig. 4 and Pl. XVII, fig.10) based on field notes from Crossland, however Eliot (1904d) notes that this characteristic could not be seen. In the Mozambican specimen the rhinophores exhibit small annulae, which can only be seen with careful examination. In the same plate, Crossland illustrated a second species described as Hervia lineata, which is now known as Cuthona lineata. Rudman (2009b) suggested that Facelina lineata was likely to belong to the genus Cratena and would need to be reviewed and renamed. Interestingly WoRMS (Bouchet 2015b) place Facelina lineata as synonym of Cratena lineata however no formal reference was provided. This has the potential to create confusion between the two species described by Eliot (1904d). Therefore, pending a review, we use the name Facelina lineata for this species.

description: Doping remains a critical issue in competitive sports, undermining ethical

standards and athletes' health. This study investigates the influence of

motivational climates, anti-doping education among support personnel, and moral

disengagement on athletes' doping susceptibility. A mixed-methods approach was

employed, combining quantitative surveys from 150 athletes and 75 support

personnel with qualitative interviews. Quantitative findings revealed that ego

oriented motivational climates significantly increased doping susceptibility, while

autonomy-supportive climates reduced it. Additionally, athletes supported by

personnel who received anti-doping education demonstrated lower susceptibility

to doping. Moral disengagement emerged as a key moderator, with athletes under

morally disengaged personnel showing higher doping susceptibility regardless of

the motivational climate. Qualitative insights further contextualized these

findings, highlighting barriers to fostering autonomy-supportive climates and

implementing effective education, including resource constraints and systemic

pressures. The study underscores the importance of addressing both psychological

and systemic factors to mitigate doping behaviors. These findings align with

existing research, emphasizing the need for targeted anti-doping interventions that

prioritize education, promote autonomy-supportive environments, and address

moral disengagement Policy recommendations include mandatory anti-doping

education for all support personnel, tailored interventions to reduce moral

disengagement, and organizational reforms to discourage performance-driven

pressures. Despite its contributions, the study identifies gaps in understanding

systemic factors and the long-term effectiveness of existing interventions, calling

for future longitudinal and context-specific research. This research provides

valuable insights for advancing clean sport initiatives, offering a pathway to

enhance ethical behavior in competitive sports through education, leadership, and

systemic change.
