description: Six stages (OS1-6) were identified by Kellner (2015) to establish the ontogeny of a given pterosaur fossil. These were used to support the erection of several new Triassic taxa including Bergamodactylus wildi, which is based on a single specimen (MPUM 6009) from the Norian of Lombardy, Italy. However, those ontogenetic stages are not valid because different pterosaur taxa had different tempos of skeletal development. Purported diagnostic characters of Bergamodactylus wildi are not autapomorphic or were incorrectly identified. Although minor differences do exist between MPUM 6009 and the holotype of Carniadactylus rosenfeldi, these do not warrant generic differentiation. Thus, MPUM 6009 is here retained within the taxon Carniadactylus rosenfeldi as proposed by Dalla Vecchia (2009a).

description: Quantum games, like quantum algorithms, exploit quantum entanglement to establish strong correlations between strategic player actions. This paper introduces quantum game-theoretic models applied to trading and demonstrates their implementation on an ion-trap quantum computer. The results showcase a quantum advantage, previously known only theoretically, realized as higher-paying market Nash equilibria. This advantage could help uncover alpha in trading strategies, defined as excess returns compared to established benchmarks. These findings suggest that quantum computing could significantly influence the development of financial strategies.

description: Laser-to-composite interactions are becoming increasingly common in diverse applications such as diagnostics, fabrication and machining, and weapons systems. Lasers are capable of not only performing non-contact diagnostics, but also inducing seemingly imperceptible structural damage to materials. In safety-critical venues like aerospace, automotive, and civil infrastructure where composites are playing an increasingly prominent role, it is desirable to have means of sensing laser exposure on a composite material. Self-sensing materials may be a powerful method of addressing this need. Herein, we present an exploratory study on the potential of using changes in electrical measurements as a way of detecting laser exposure to a carbon nanofiber (CNF)-modified glass fiber/epoxy laminate. CNFs were dispersed in liquid epoxy resin prior to laminate fabrication via hand layup. The dispersed CNFs form a three-dimensional conductive network which allows for electrical measurements to be taken from the traditionally insulating glass fiber/epoxy material system. It is expected that damage to the network will disrupt the electrical pathways, thereby causing the material to exhibit slightly higher resistance. To test laser sensing capabilities, a resistance baseline of the CNF-modified glass fiber/epoxy specimens was first established before laser exposure. These specimens were then exposed to an infra-red laser operating at 1064 nm, 35 kHz, and pulse duration of 8 ns. The specimens were irradiated for a total of 20 seconds (4 exposures each at 5 seconds). The resistances of the specimens were then measured again post-ablation. In this study, it was found that for 1.0 wt.% CNF by weight the average resistance increased by about 18 percent. However, this values varied for specimens with different weight fractions. This established that the laser was indeed causing damage to the specimen sufficient to evoke a change in electrical properties. In order to expand on this result, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) was employed for localization of laser exposures of 1, 3, and 5 seconds on a larger specimen, a 3.25” square plate. EIT was used to measure the changes in conductivity after each exposure. EIT was not only successful in detecting damage that was virtually imperceptible to the human-eye, but it also accurately localized the exposure sites. The post-ablation conductivity of the exposure sites decreased in a manner that was comparable to the resistance increase obtained during prior testing. Based on this preliminary study, this research could lead to the development of a real-time exposure detection and tracking system for the measurement, fabrication, and defense industries.

Time dispersion in bound states

description: In quantum mechanics time is generally treated as a parameter rather than an observable. For instance wave functions are treated as extending in space, but not in time. But from relativity we expect time and space should be treated on the same basis. What are the effects if time is an observable? Are these effects observable with current technology?
 In earlier work we showed we should see effects in various high energy scattering processes. We here extend that work to include bound states. The critical advantage of working with bound states is that the predictions are significantly more definite, taking the predictions from testable to falsifiable.
 We estimate the time dispersion for hydrogen as $.177$ attoseconds, possibly below the current threshold for detection. But the time dispersion should scale as the $3/2$ power of the principle quantum number $n$. Rydberg atoms can have $n$ of order $100$, implying a boost by a factor of $1000$. This takes the the time dispersion to $177$ attoseconds, well within reach of current technology.
 There are a wide variety of experimental targets: any time-dependent processes should show effects. Falsification will be technically challenging (due to the short time scales) but immediate and unambiguous. Confirmation would have significant implications for attosecond physics, quantum computing and communications, quantum gravity, and the measurement problem. And would suggest practical uses in these areas as well as circuit design, high speed biochemistry, cryptography, fusion research, and any area involving change at attosecond time scales.

Knowledge representation and reasoning

description: Federated learning (FL) is a decentralized privacy-preserving learning technique in which clients learn a joint collaborative model through a central aggregator without sharing their data. In this setting, all clients learn a single common predictor (FedAvg), which does not generalize well on each client's local data due to the statistical data heterogeneity among clients. In this paper, we address this problem with PersFL, a discrete two-stage personalized learning algorithm. In the first stage, PersFL finds the optimal teacher model of each client during the FL training phase. In the second stage, PersFL distills the useful knowledge from optimal teachers into each user's local model. The teacher model provides each client with some rich, high-level representation that a client can easily adapt to its local model, which overcomes the statistical heterogeneity present at different clients. We evaluate PersFL on CIFAR-10 and MNIST datasets using three data-splitting strategies to control the diversity between clients' data distributions.
We empirically show that PersFL outperforms FedAvg and three state-of-the-art personalization methods, pFedMe, Per-FedAvg and FedPer on majority data-splits with minimal communication cost. Further, we study the performance of PersFL on different distillation objectives, how this performance is affected by the equitable notion of fairness among clients, and the number of required communication rounds. We also build an evaluation framework with the following modules: Data Generator, Federated Model Generation, and Evaluation Metrics. We introduce new metrics for the domain of personalized FL, and split these metrics into two perspectives: Performance, and Fairness. We analyze the performance of all the personalized algorithms by applying these metrics to answer the following questions: Which personalization algorithm performs the best in terms of accuracy across all the users?, and Which personalization algorithm is the fairest amongst all of them? Finally, we make the code for this work available at https://tinyurl.com/1hp9ywfa for public use and validation.
Specialization and Complexity of Integral Closure of Ideals

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Algebra and number theory

description: This dissertation is based on joint work with Lindsey Hill. There are two main parts, which are linked by the common theme of the integral closure of the Rees algebra. In the first part of this dissertation, comprised of Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, we study the integral closure of the Rees algebra directly. In Chapter 3 we identify a bound for the multiplicity of the Rees algebra R[It] of a homogeneous ideal I generated in the same degree, and combine this result with theorems of Ulrich and Vasconcelos to obtain upper bounds on the number of generators of the integral closure of the Rees algebra as a module over R[It]. We also find various other upper bounds for this number, and compare them in the case of a monomial ideal generated in the same degree. In Chapter 4, inspired by the large depth assumption on the integral closure of R[It] in the results of Chapter 3, we obtain a lower bound for the depth of the associated graded ring and the Rees algebra of the integral closure filtration in terms of the dimension of the Cohen-Macaulay local ring R and the equimultiple ideal I. We finish the first part of this dissertation with a characterization of when the integral closure of R[It] is Cohen-Macaulay for height 2 ideals. In the second part of this dissertation, Chapter 5, we use the integral closure of the Rees algebra as a tool to discuss specialization of the integral closure of an ideal I. We prove that for ideals of height at least two in a large class of rings, the integral closure of I is compatible with specialization modulo general elements of I. This result is analogous to a result of Itoh and an extension by Hong and Ulrich which show that for ideals of height at least two in a large class of rings, the integral closure of I is compatible with specialization modulo generic elements of I. We then discuss specialization modulo a general element of the maximal ideal, rather than modulo a general element of the ideal I itself. In general it is not the case that the operations of integral closure and specialization modulo a general element of the maximal ideal are compatible, even under the assumptions of our main theorem. We prove that the two operations are compatible for local excellent algebras over fields of characteristic zero whenever R/I is reduced with depth at least 2, and conclude with a class of ideals for which the two operations appear to be compatible based on computations in Macaulay2.

description: Prokaryotic Argonautes (pAgos) have been proposed as more flexible tools for gene- editing as they do not require sequence motifs adjacent to their targets for function. One promising pAgo candidate from the halophilic archaeon Natronobacterium gregoryi (NgAgo) has been the subject of intense debate regarding its potential in eukaryotic systems. NgAgo was initially claimed to edit genes in mammalian cells, but the report was retracted due to replication failure. Due to low solubility, subsequent studies refolded NgAgo and suggested that it cuts RNA but not DNA; however, mutation of the conserved active site does not abolish cleavage activity, raising the possibility of nuclease contamination. Another independent study demonstrated gene-editing via NgAgo in bacteria. These inconsistent results underscore the knowledge gap and roadblock for NgAgo-based gene-editing tool development.

 In this work, I revisit this enzyme and characterize its function in vitro and in a bacterial system. The halophilic features of NgAgo have been neglected in the literature, leading to inconclusive results. Like other halophilic proteins, NgAgo has modified amino acid composition, leading to failure of domain identification/function prediction via sequence alignment. Indeed, using more sensitive structural alignments, I identified a new single-stranded DNA binding domain, repA, in NgAgo and other halophilic pAgos. Due to its halophilic nature, NgAgo expresses poorly in low-salt environments, with the majority of protein being insoluble and inactive even after refolding. However, soluble NgAgo indeed cuts DNA. NgAgo DNA-cleaving activity can only be abolished via mutation in the canonical PIWI domain and repA deletion, revealing a new catalytic behavior in pAgos. Moreover, NgAgo requires both repA and PIWI domains to create double- stranded DNA breaks, leading to cell death or enhancing homologous recombination, or gene- editing, at a modest level in bacteria. Rational protein engineering of NgAgo was also pursued to increase solubility. Although three out of seven mutants showed significant increases in solubility, they lost the ability to cleave DNA in E.coli. Structural modeling revealed some subtle but important differences in the protein structures, explaining why the mutants lose their function. Besides, a selection system for improving endonuclease activity was optimized for future pAgo optimization. Collectively, this work revealed that NgAgo possesses unique catalytic behavior in the pAgo family and has some gene-editing application potential. More importantly, this work expands knowledge of the pAgo family, providing a foundation for future pAgo-based gene- editing tool development.

description: In today’s global environment, agricultural students need the skills to thrive among a workforce made up of individuals with diverse experiences and perspectives. One promising way to prepare students is through the development of intercultural competence (IC). This thesis addresses several different methods of developing IC in undergraduate students. Chapter 2 addresses incorporation of intercultural interventions into a short-term study abroad program coupled with and a follow-up semester-long on-campus companion course to specifically target empathy development. The study found that overall students did not increase significantly on the IDI, but did show positive growth in empathy development throughout the semester. Chapter 3 describes differences in IC of students completing intercultural learning (ICL) assignments throughout a face-to-face introductory animal agriculture course compared with students not completing ICL assignments. The intervention group showed significant increase according to the IDI and increased on average 9.46 points. In addition, the intervention group increased significantly more than the control group (87.54 ± 2.09 vs. 94.76 ± 1.67) (p <0.004; df=1; f=13.23). Studies described in Chapter 4 build on those of methods followed a similar approach to the methods discussed in Chapter 3 but examine the impact of including reflection based ICL assignments using global animal agriculture as a medium. Notably, the course also occurred in an emergency remote learning setting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results from the study discussed in Chapter 4 showed that the intervention group increased significantly more than the control group (86.75 ± 2.11 vs. 95.29 ± 2.35; p < 0.004). In addition, the intervention group also showed positive results in developing the specific skill of empathy throughout the semester. The last study discussed in this thesis (Chapter 5) details the process of creating and validating a scale to specifically measure the competence levels in level of undergraduates’ essential skills in undergraduates. Cronbach’s alpha was reported for each skillset that was being evaluated and deemed acceptable. Each of the studies discussed was designed to fill gaps in the literature regarding skill development in animal science undergraduate students. The development of such skills, and IC in particular, is necessary for all students whether they pursue careers with as possible the opportunity to develop these skills, not just those who participate in international elements. As such, developing validate means to provide students opportunities to hone such skills is necessary to student future success. Toward this end, the studies described here seek to measure the efficacy embedding intercultural learning into undergraduate agricultural curriculum at providing such opportunities.

description: We explore how to detect the large quantum fluctuations in the throat of a near-extremal black hole, where the dynamics are governed by the Schwarzian theory. To this end, we scatter a low-frequency wave of a massless, minimal scalar off the black hole and calculate the absorption cross-section. In the semiclassical regime, where the Schwarzian is weakly coupled, we recover the universal result that the cross-section equals the horizon area. However, in the strongly coupled regime, where quantum fluctuations dominate, we find that the absorption cross-section exceeds the semiclassical prediction. This result may seem counterintuitive, given that the density of black hole states is suppressed in this regime. Nevertheless, two effects outweigh this suppression. First, quantum fluctuations enhance absorption transitions between individual states, with the effect becoming stronger closer to the ground state. Second, these fluctuations significantly reduce stimulated emission. We conclude that a measurement showing an enhanced absorption cross-section serves as a clear signature of the large quantum fluctuations in the geometry.

IMPROVING STANCE AND BIAS DETECTION IN TEXT BY MODELING SOCIAL CONTEXT

Knowledge representation and reasoning

description: Understanding the stance and bias reflected in the text is an essential part of achieving machine intelligence. Successful detection of them will not only provide us with a huge amount of insights about public opinion and sentiment but also lay the foundation for serving the most reliable and accurate information to meet people's needs. Traditionally, this problem is often modeled merely as a text classification task. However, it is highly challenging due to the huge variation involved in opinion expressions as well as the need for background knowledge and commonsense reasoning. Meanwhile, just as we want to understand a word based on its context, we also have social contexts for a piece of text, including its author, its sharing pattern online, and its narrative about notable entities and events. These important factors have been largely ignored in previous work. In this dissertation, we tackle this problem by proposing three novel neural network models. Each of them capturing one important social context that can provide rich signals for the detection of stance and bias. The first model aims at predicting the stance of posts from online debate forums. We proposed a structured representation learning model that can make use of the authorship relation and conversational structure in debates. It takes advantage of both collective relational classification methods and distributed representation learning. The performance boost after the inference that is defined over the embedding space. The second model focuses on bias detection in news articles. We identify the social context available for many news articles, which is the engagement pattern over social media. We construct the social information graph involving news articles and apply GCN to aggregate local neighborhood information when generating graph representations. A joint text and graph model is then used to propagate information from both directions. Experimental results show even little social signals can lead to significant improvement. Last but not least, we explore the situation where we cannot obtain context information for test articles. In this case, we designed pre-training strategies that can inject external knowledge about entities, frames, and sharing users into the text model so that it can better identify relevant text spans for bias classification. We also show larger performance gains can be achieved when the supervision is limited, demonstrating the advantage of our model in such cases. Empirical results demonstrate that our models significantly outperform competitive baseline methods, by more accurately regularize the text representation given additional signals available in the social context and by identifying the portion of the text where stance and bias are most readily perceptible.

description: Background. Overtraining (OT) occurs from excessive exercise and inadequate recovery. Different pathophysiological mechanisms of OT have been theorized; however, the biological underpinnings of OT are unclear. Hormesis refers to a biphasic dose-response to stress. Accordingly, any biological system(s) overwhelmed by exercise-related stress may exhibit a maladaptive training response. Objectives: This dissertation aimed to 1) determine if recreationally active adults can experience OT and 2) identify potential markers of OT progression. Methods. Twenty-one recreationally active adults were randomized into training (TR, n=11) or control (CON, n=10) groups. TR participants underwent a three-week high-intensity training protocol designed to induce short-term OT (overreach [OR]) under laboratory conditions, then monitored over a three-week recovery phase. Both groups performed weekly exercise testing to evaluate performance and metabolic and cardiac responses to training. Sleep was monitored daily using actigraphy and surveys. A pilot proteomic analysis was performed in seven TR participants at baseline (BL), after training (MID), and after recovery (END). Results. After training, three TR participants were classified as OR (-10.3% ± 5.4% decrease in performance from BL), while TR participants without performance decrements were considered adapted (AD, n=8). Throughout training, OR subjects exhibited progressive decreases in maximum heart rate (-8.5% ± 6.4%, 180 ± 7.9 to 164 ± 4.6 bpm) and peak lactate (-33.6% ± 15.1%, 8.80 ± 1.47 to 5.86 ± 1.69 mmol/L) (P<0.05), which returned to baseline values during recovery. At END, peak aerobic capacity improved ~6% in all groups. Compared to CON participants, TR participants obtained less sleep (7.02 ± 1.03 versus 6.68 ± 1.20 hours per night, respectively), exhibited more variable sleep time, and were more likely to accumulate sleep debt (P<0.05). OR participants consistently reported higher illness symptoms than CON and AD (P<0.05). Proteomics identified 38 proteins upregulated at MID or END including 19 immune-related proteins (P<0.1). Conclusions. OR participants exhibited markers of OT compatible with both autonomic and immune dysfunction–different theories underpinning the OT response. OT is not a training response exclusive to elite-level athletes. OT as the upper endpoint of exercise-induced hormesis is a viable theory, which suggest that OT can occur from multiple pathophysiological mechanisms.

A Comprehensive Study on the Application of LLM for Hardware Property Generation

description: Automated generation of hardware design properties has long been an active area of research, yielding a wide variety of techniques using a combination of lightweight analysis of design source code and data-driven dynamic analysis targeting design functionality and security. However, all these works suffer from numerous shortcomings, such as they (i) do not scale for industrial-scale designs, (ii) often require massive amounts of trace data to generate properties, (iii) generate too many design properties, often redundant, without any explanation on their usability for verification tasks, (iv) fail to generalize the properties beyond what is seen in the trace, and (v) encompass an extremely small subset of SystemVerilog grammar, limiting the expressibility and richness of the generated design properties. Recently, the massive success of Large-Language Models (LLMs), e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Gemini, in diverse applications has led researchers to investigate the application of LLMs for hardware property generation. However, almost all recent works on property generation using LLMs suffer from various shortcomings, such as they (i) require considerable human efforts and a deep understanding of the target hardware designs to devise hand-crafted specialized prompts to generate and refine properties, (ii) do not generalize the assertions, and (iii) do not consider execution traces, risking to potentially miss subtle incorrect design behaviors or security vulnerabilities that are not obvious in the design source code.
In this thesis, we dive deep and investigate the usefulness of LLMs for hardware property generation. First, we propose AssertionBench, a benchmark consisting of a curated set of hardware designs in Verilog and their respective formally verified assertions. We use AssertionBench to comprehensively evaluate four state-of-the-art commercial and open-source LLMs for assertion generation. Our investigation found that all four LLMs generate a considerable amount of syntactically and semantically incorrect assertions, making them inadequate for practical adoption in industrial practice. We next develop AssertionLLM, a specialized LLM for hardware property generation derived by fine-tuning open-source LLaMa3 LLM to address this deficiency. Finally, we will conclude this thesis by outlining our insights and future works for the development of specialized LLMs for a broad spectrum of hardware design and verification tasks.

description: Young football players are hypothesized to experience damage to the brain and brain function from repeated subconcussive head acceleration events (HAEs) during practices and games. Such damage may cause delayed cognitive and mental problems. Resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) is an effective non-invasive method to detect alterations in brain functional connectivity. Seed-based rsfMRI analysis using the central node of the default mode network (DMN) as the seed is a common approach to measuring intrinsic changes of the DMN, accepted as a key network in brain function. Seed-based rs-fMRI analysis of the DMN was used to explore how age, HAE intensity, and HAE counts influence brain connectivity in youth athletes (ages 12-18). Middle school and high school football players and peer controls were studied using rs-fMRI before and after one season of competition. An identifiability matrix was generated from the seed-based connectivity matrix, allowing measurement of similarity between pre-season and post-season functional connectivity. The consistency of seed-based brain functional connectivity we observed across the season of play for players has no statistically significant difference from controls. The identifiability matrix exhibited no relation to the number and magnitude of any subset of HAEs experienced which rejected our hypothesis. Another finding is that high school football players exhibited the largest percentage increase in identification from middle school football players in the somatomotor network over other resting-state networks.
