description: We investigate nonequilibrium effects in the transport of interacting electrons in quantum conductors, proposing the nonlocal thermoelectric response as a direct indicator of the presence of interactions, nonthermal states and the effect of correlations. This is done by assuming a quantum Hall setup where two channels (connected to reservoirs at different temperatures) co-propagate for a finite distance, such that a thermoelectrical response is only expected if the electron-electron interaction mediates heat exchange between the channels. This way, the nonlocal Seebeck response measures the interaction strength. Considering zero-range interactions, we solve the charge and energy currents and noises of a non-equilibrium integrable interacting system, determining the universal interaction-dependent length scale of energy equilibration. Further, a setup with two controllable quantum point contacts allows thermoelectricity to monitor the interacting system thermalisation as well as the fundamental role of cross-correlations in the heat exchange at intermediate length scales.

(Fig. 28 K-N)
DESCRIPTION
All the large (> 3 cm) blade-like theropod teeth found at Angeac-Charente are tentatively referred to a single taxon, although two tooth morphotypes are present. The first morphotype probably corresponds to mesial teeth (Fig. 28 K-M), the crown of which are slender and more elongated than in lateral teeth (Fig. 28N). The crown height ratio (Hendrickx et al. 2015a) ranges between 1.91 (ANG M-121) for a lateral tooth and 2.43 for a mesial one (ANG 17-5650). Apart from that, the teeth have the same characters. They are strongly compressed labiolingually. The mesial margin is convex and the distal margin is only slightly concave. Both the distal and mesial carinae are denticulate, but the latter only occurs on the apical half to one third of the crown. The carinae are centrally positioned on both the mesial and distal margins of crowns. There are 12 (ANG 17-5650) to 18 (ANG M-121) denticles per 5 mm along the mesial carinae, and 12 to 15 along the distal carinae at two thirds of the crown height. The denticles are longer mesiodistally than they are basoapically high, and they have a horizontal subrectangular outline. Interdental sulci are present. The enamel is transversely wrinkled and both transverse and marginal undulations are present (Hendrickx et al. 2015a).
Teeth of large carnivorous dinosaurs, morphologically very close to those of Angeac-Charente, have been reported from the Tithonian of Chassiron and from the Purbeckian of England. The first have been referred with caution to Megalosauridae (Vullo et al. 2014), while the latter have been alternately referred to Megalosauridae or Allosauroidea (see Milner 2002). All dental characters described above have been recognized in Megalosauridae (Hendrickx et al. 2015b), and we tentatively refer the large dinosaur teeth of Angeac-Charente to this group, but an assignement to another basal tetanuran clade cannot be definitively excluded.

description: Historians reconcile events with stories that are told (or not told) about them. How does one narrative dominate while others fade away? This dissertation investigates histories of the colonies for change over time and addresses the differences and similarities between narratives written by colonists, foreigners, revolutionaries (or loyalists), and citizens of the new Republic. It examines the creation of colonial histories across the long revolutionary generation (roughly 1730-1830) to identify the cumulative development of a national narrative.In chaotic times, people create a particular version of the past to navigate an uncertain future. When published, this interpretation hardens into history. My project illuminates and explains current gaps between colonial and revolutionary history. The colonial histories published during this time informed and shaped an emerging historical consciousness. These formative narratives reimagined the past to serve needs of the present and to define conclusions about their place in the world. In a time of division in modern American culture, it is imperative to understand this period in American history, as it represents the origin of many competing claims to the "true" goals of the Revolution that continue to reverberate in current times.

(Fig. 28 H-J)
DESCRIPTION
There are at least eight teeth with a very characteristic morphology. They are D-shaped in cross-section with the mesial carina lingually displaced (Fig. 28 H-J). The mesial margin is only slightly convex. The distal carina is denticulate along its entire length, while the mesial carina is only denticulate on its apical quarter.The denticles extend over the apex. There are 12-13 denticles per 5 mm on mesial and distal carinae. Two longitudinal grooves are present on the lingual side of ANG M-73, below the denticulate mesial carina (Fig. 28I). When preserved, the enamel texture is irregular (Hendrickx et al. 2015a).
The morphology of these teeth and in particular the lingual offset of the mesial carina are typical of tyrannosauroids (Holtz 2004). They are very similar to that described in the Bathonian Proceratosaurus bradleyi and the Barremian Eotyrannus (Hutt et al. 2001; Rauhut et al. 2010). This discovery confirms the presence of Tyrannosauroidea in Europe at the beginning of the Early Cretaceous.

DESCRIPTION
Several isolated dromaeosaurid teeth, including the two reported here (ANG M-61; ANG M-45), were recovered following sampling and screening-washing of a gravel lens, rich in lignite and fossil bone remains (Fig. 28 E-G). These teeth lack a serrated mesial carina, as in Tsaagan mangas (Norell et al. 2006) and some teeth of Nuthetes destructor (Milner 2002). ANG M-61 is a complete tooth crown, and is more rounded. It is strongly recurved and its distal carina runs along half the length of the lingual face of the crown (Fig. 28G). There are 32 denticles per 5 mm on distal carina. This tooth is identified as a mesial tooth. ANG M-45 is the apical part of a second tooth (Fig. 28 E-F). Its crown is more labiolingually compressed, and this tooth is identified as a lateral tooth. The distal carina bears numerous distinct denticles. In both teeth, the enamel surface is devoid of ornamentation.
Teeth identical in every way to those of Angeac-Charente have also been reported from the Berriasian of Cherves-de-Cognac (Pouech 2008) and from the Tithonian of Chassiron (Vullo et al. 2014). All these teeth from Charente are similar to those of the dromaeosaurid Nuthetes destructor from the Purbeck Group of southern England (Milner 2002), and are tentatively referred to this genus.

description: Recently, uncertainty-aware deep learning methods for multiclass labeling problems have been developed that provide calibrated class prediction probabilities and out-of-distribution (OOD) indicators, letting machine learning (ML) consumers and engineers gauge a model's confidence in its predictions. However, this extra neural network prediction information is challenging to scalably convey visually for arbitrary data sources under multiple uncertainty contexts. To address these challenges, we present ScatterUQ, an interactive system that provides targeted visualizations to allow users to better understand model performance in context-driven uncertainty settings. ScatterUQ leverages recent advances in distance-aware neural networks, together with dimensionality reduction techniques, to construct robust, 2-D scatter plots explaining why a model predicts a test example to be (1) in-distribution and of a particular class, (2) in-distribution but unsure of the class, and (3) out-of-distribution. ML consumers and engineers can visually compare the salient features of test samples with training examples through the use of a ``hover callback'' to understand model uncertainty performance and decide follow up courses of action. We demonstrate the effectiveness of ScatterUQ to explain model uncertainty for a multiclass image classification on a distance-aware neural network trained on Fashion-MNIST and tested on Fashion-MNIST (in distribution) and MNIST digits (out of distribution), as well as a deep learning model for a cyber dataset. We quantitatively evaluate dimensionality reduction techniques to optimize our contextually driven UQ visualizations. Our results indicate that the ScatterUQ system should scale to arbitrary, multiclass datasets. Our code is available at https://github.com/mit-ll-responsible-ai/equine-webapp

(Fig. 28 A-D)
DESCRIPTION
Archaeopterygid birds are represented in Angeac-Charente by at least five teeth. One of these teeth is complete (ANG M-09, Fig. 28 A-C), whereas the others are broken at the base of the crown (Fig. 28D). The total height of the complete tooth is 3.2 mm. The crown height is only 1.2 mm and its basal length is 0.63 mm. The crown is strongly compressed labiolingually. There are no obvious enamel ornamentation and serrations are totally absent on the slight carinae. The apical quarter of the tooth is strongly distally recurved. Both the mesial and distal edges of the crown are sigmoid. By comparison with teeth of other theropods, we consider that the most convex side of the tooth corresponds to the labial surface (Fig. 28 B-D).
The specimens from Angeac-Charente are nearly identical to the single tooth collected at Cherves-de-Cognac, which in turn was assigned to an indeterminate archaeopterygid, based on the above characteristics (Louchart & Pouech 2017). Angeac-Charente material is the youngest temporal occurrence of this extinct European family of early birds.

description: We discuss a system of stochastic differential equations with a stiff linear term and additive noise driven by fractional Brownian motions (fBms) with Hurst parameter H>1/2, which arise e. g., from spatial approximations of stochastic partial differential equations. For their numerical approximation, we present an exponential Euler scheme and show that it converges in the strong sense with an exact rate close to the Hurst parameter H. Further, based on (E. Buckwar, M.G. Riedler, and P.E. Kloeden 2011), we conclude the existence of a unique stationary solution of the exponential Euler scheme that is pathwise asymptotically stable.

Multicultural marketing
Creators: name: James, Jean-Paul
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Multicultural marketing, the practice of integrated marketing strategies that identify and tactically target potential consumers by diverse backgrounds has become less niche and a more mainstream marketing consideration, due to accelerated multicultural population growth (Franklin, 2014; Johnson, Elliot & Grier, 2010; Friedman, Lopez-Pumarejo, & Friedman, 2006; Burton 2005; Chan, 1996).  These diverse subcultures have unique culturally embedded needs and perceptions of bands and products; thus, they respond better to culturally relevant marketing communications (Cui, 1997). With the growing multicultural population in the United States there has been debate and questions among marketing practitioners, relative to targeting consumers by their race, ethnicity or sexuality. This subject is studied over 2 essays.   The first essay is “Leveraging Diversity as a Resource: Identifying an Organization’s Antecedents, Strategic Approach and Succeedents to Multicultural Marketing”. Multicultural marketing strategy is examined; leveraging the theory of the Resourced Based View of the Firm (Wernerfelt, 1984) in positing a conceptual model and identifying constructs within an organization that predicate multicultural marketing success. The conceptual model is constructed where an organization’s commitment to diversity is proposed as a tacit, competitive resource.    The second essay, “Moderating the Effectiveness of Racially and Ethnically-Congruent and Diverse Marketing Communications”, investigates the consumer response to multicultural advertising among racial and ethnic groups and diversity in advertising among the general population across 4 studies. The likeability of multicultural advertising is positively mediated by the felt, cultural targetedness of the marketing communications. This effect is also moderated by levels of acculturation and ethnic identity. Attitudes towards diversity in advertising is also explored among all consumers. The findings demonstrate that there is a “post-racial” segment of the population that appreciates diversity in advertising. This essay ads to our knowledge of Distinctiveness (McGuire, 1984) and self-identity theory (Tajfel, 1980).

Wnt/PCP signaling and myelination in the PNS
Creators: name: Kim, Hyosung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Myelination in Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is established through Schwann cell (SC) migration, proliferation and radial sorting. After a phase of axonal association and SC radial sorting, SCs start to wrap around an axon at regular intervals before myelin compaction. A translational and transcriptional program elicits morphogenetic changes to SCs, which drives cytoskeleton rearrangement. Rho GTPases are the main effectors of dynamic cytoskeletal modification. Several studies implicate Rho GTPases, such as Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA (and its downstream effector, ROCK) in SC proliferation, migration, radial sorting and compaction of myelin sheaths. Cdc42 is known to regulate SC proliferation, whereas Rac1 and RhoA show critical roles in myelination process such as radial sorting and formation of paranode compartment. Of many highly conserved signaling pathways by which morphogenetic changes can be established in SCs, the Wnt/Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) signaling pathway provides a versatile platform for understanding morphogenetic changes in SCs. Wnt/PCP pathway is known to promote cytoskeletal modifications through the activation of Rho GTPases, especially RhoA and Rac1, as effector modules to regulate actin polymerization. However, there have been no studies to date investigating Wnt/PCP pathway in relation to PNS myelination.   In this study, I have characterized the presence of components for Wnt/PCP in SCs and their regulation during PNS myelination. Furthermore, I show that Wnt5a, a known ligand of the Wnt/PCP pathway, can modulate myelination in a culture model of myelination via a β-catenin-independent manner. In the context of purified SC culture, different concentrations of Wnt5a can elicit different responses of activation of Rho GTPases, especially RhoA and Rac1. Notably, 2.5 ng/ml of exogenous Wnt5a treatment showed hypermyelination compared to control, whereas > 200 ng/ml of Wnt5a had an inhibitory effect on myelination. Further investigations using two inhibitory constructs for Daam1, a key upstream regulator for small GTPases in Wnt/PCP pathway, revealed that Daam1/RhoA axis is necessary for the hypermyelination effect of Wnt5a (2.5 ng/ml). This Wnt5a concentration for hypermyelination does not affect the differentiation of Schwann cells into myelinating stage. Additionally, deletion of endogenous Wnt5a from SC resulted in less migration with higher expression of Prx, a non-migrating SC marker. Given the following two things; 1) existence of Wnt5a and machinery for Wnt/PCP signaling during myelination, and 2) cytoskeletal modulating function for Wnt5a without proliferative effect, my data suggest that Wnt/PCP signaling via Wnt5a/Daam1/RhoA axis may be involved in migration-association transition and/or spiral wrapping phase of SC lineage in the PNS.
Three essays on cybersecurity-related issues

description: This dissertation consists of three essays that examine cybersecurity-related matters. In the first essay, I investigate whether external auditors respond to cyber incidents by charging higher audit fees and whether they price cybersecurity risk before the actual event happens when there is no explicit requirement from the regulators. Findings in the essay suggest that cyber incidents lead to increase in audit fees, and the increase is smaller for firms with prior cybersecurity risk disclosures. In addition, firms with repeated cyber incidents or cyber incidents that involve intellectual property experience larger increases in audit fees. However, auditor’s concern over cyber incidents is mitigated by monitoring from large and sophisticated external stakeholders.   The second essay examines the informativeness of cybersecurity risk disclosure and provides three main results. First, both the presence and length of cybersecurity risk disclosure are informative of future reported cyber incidents. Second, market participants are using information conveyed by the presence of cybersecurity risk disclosure, but not the information content which is measured by the adjusted length of the disclosure. Third, the presence of cybersecurity risk disclosure is no longer significantly associated with subsequently reported cyber incidents after the passage of cybersecurity disclosure guidance. However, the essay fails to find a significant association between firm-specific disclosure and cyber incidents.   In the third essay, issues regarding assurance on cybersecurity are discussed. In particular, I argue that data analytics should be an integral part of cybersecurity assurance, and introduce a process of using data analytics in testing cybersecurity controls. Illustrative examples of the process using synthetic data are provided to demonstrate that data analytics is a well-suited approach for providing assurance on cybersecurity. A set of critical challenges for applying data analytics in the assurance engagement are also discussed.

description: Booker Little, a masterful trumpeter and composer, passed away in 1961 at the age of twenty-three. Little's untimely death, and still yet extensive recording career, presents yet another example of early passing among innovative and influential trumpeters. Like Clifford Brown before him, Theodore “Fats” Navarro before him, Little's death left a gap the in jazz world as both a sophisticated technician and an inspiring composer. However, unlike his predecessors Little is hardly – if ever – mentioned in jazz texts and classrooms. His influence is all but non-existent except to those who have researched his work. More than likely he is the victim of too early a death: Brown passed away at twenty-five and Navarro, twenty-six. Bob Cranshaw, who is present on Little's first recording, remarks, “Nobody got a chance to really experience  [him]...very few remember him because nobody got a chance to really hear him or see him.” Given this, and his later work with more avant-garde and dissonant harmonic/melodic structure as a writing partner with Eric Dolphy, it is no wonder that his remembered career has followed more the path of James P. Johnson. He has become an academic discussion rather than jazz idol. Despite this lack of awareness, by the general  public, his sound, compositional focus and improvisational awareness remain purely his own. Although unknown to some, once heard he is not easily forgotten.    This thesis will serve as an exploration into both the personal and professional life of Booker Little. Each chapter has been designed to outline major sign posts in his life. Beginning with his home and family this thesis will trace Little’s professional career through to his death. Each major division in this thesis represents the next stepping stone in Little’s career with special emphasis on his later albums as a band leader and his  recording partnership with Eric Dolphy. Transcriptions and analyzations of his recordings can be found throughout this thesis in the hope of creating a better understanding of his playing as well as a timeline of his maturation as a composer and trumpeter. Also included in this thesis are historical documents, interviews, a discography and bibliography all intended to create the best understanding possible of Little and his work.
