description: Branching processes form an important family of stochastic processes that have been successfully applied in many fields. In this paper, we focus our attention on controlled multi-type branching processes (CMBPs). A Feller-type diffusion approximation is derived for some critical CMBPs. Namely, we consider a sequence of appropriately scaled random step functions formed from a critical CMBP with control distributions having expectations that satisfy a kind of linearity assumption. It is proved that such a sequence converges weakly toward a squared Bessel process supported by a ray determined by an eigenvector of a matrix related to the offspring mean matrix and the control distributions of the branching process in question. As applications, among others, we derive Feller-type diffusion approximations of critical, primitive multi-type branching processes with immigration and some two-sex branching processes. We also describe the asymptotic behaviour of the relative frequencies of distinct types of individuals for critical CMBPs.

Virtual Phonology: Rule-Sandwiching and Multiple Opacity in North Saami
Creators: name: Bye, Patrik A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2002

description: This dissertation develops a novel perspective, Virtual Phonology, on the problem of phonological opacity in Optimality Theory. The major theoretical innovation of the model is the prediction of a novel kind of phonological opacity, `rule sandwiching', which cannot be derived on existing  optimality-theoretic accounts of phonological opacity, such as Sympathy Theory or Turbidity Theory. Specifically, three-rule interactions of the form P>Q>R (> `ordered prior to'), where P and Q interact transparently, but R opacifies Q and P and R introduce identical faithfulness violations, are ruled out by Sympathy Theory. This prediction is checked against data from several languages, including Yawelmani Yokuts (California), Hebrew, Mohawk (New York State), and North Saami. These languages provide support for the view that rule sandwiching is attested in actual languages. The dissertation also makes strong claims concerning the treatment of morphological conditioning, and argues that morphologically conditioned alternations be treated as formally on a par with phonological opacity, i.e. as abstractly phonologically conditioned. It is argued that this move is almost forced upon us if we accept the Optimality-theoretic claim that constraints on linguistic representations are universal and functionally-grounded. The thesis goes on to explore some of the consequences of adopting this position for the psychological reality of generative grammars and language acquisition. The work is the first systematic attempt at analyzing any sizable portion of North Saami phonology using Optimality Theory, or indeed any generative analytical techniques. Much of the phonological activity of the language centres on the highly intricate quantitative system and interactions between processes regulating quantity. Saami evinces a typologically-marked three-way length contrast in consonants (short, long, and overlong). At the heart of the system of quantitative alternations is chain-shifting Consonant Gradation, by which short consonants alternate with long, and long consonants alternate with overlong foot-medially in specific morphologically-defined environments. In consonant clusters in which the first member of the cluster is a sonorant, this basic pattern is opacified or obscured by other quantitative alternations involving (a) the maximization of the coda position of the stressed syllable of the foot, and (b) overlengthening of a foot-medial long consonant or consonant cluster just in case the following vowel is long. Other quantitative effects arise through consonant-vowel interaction. The final chapter is dedicated to showing how the intricate opacity facts of North Saami support the central proposal.
Classical Chinese Verse Grammar: Coexisting sub-grammars and formal grounding
Creators: name: Zuo, Yan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2002

description: This study develops a formal grammar that captures the modern speaker’s scansion of classical Chinese verse and accounts for his intuitive judgment of the metrical harmony. The central proposal is that the grammar is represented by the coexistence of the five minimally different sub-grammars in which the cognitively oriented reading experience can be grounded. The grammar is couched in the Optimality Theory framework and the empirical basis is constituted by a corpus of 3933 lines randomly selected from five major genres of classical Chinese verse spanning more than 2000 years. The corpus obviously offers a fertile ground for exploration from various angles, and the present study focuses on only one aspect, namely, the development of the above-stated grammar. Other related topics such as the historical dimension of the verse grammar are also briefly addressed.

description: To evaluate the longitudinal changes in the effective optical zone (EOZ) following hyperopic keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) and investigate factors influencing the EOZ. This retrospective study included 27 patients who underwent hyperopic KLEx. According to the transition zone (TZ) sizes, they were divided into two groups: group A (21 eyes) with a 2.0-mm TZ and group B (10 eyes) with a 0 or 0.2-mm TZ. The programmed treatment zone (PTZ) was the sum of the programmed optical zone (POZ) and the TZ.. Changes in the EOZ were evaluated at the early (within 1 month postoperatively) and late (over 6 months postoperatively) postoperative stages. The effects of the surgical and corneal topographic parameters on EOZ were explored. A significantly higher postoperative spherical equivalent was found in group B than in group A (p = 0.002). The early and late EOZ diameters were 4.27 ± 0.20 mm and 4.04 ± 0.21 mm in group A, and 3.48 ± 0.29 and 3.12 ± 0.49 mm in group B, respectively. ΔEOZ/POZ and ΔEOZ/PTZ were significantly larger at the late than the early postoperative stage in both groups (p < 0.001), with a larger ΔEOZ/POZ value in group B than that in group A at both stages (p < 0.001). EOZ reduction was negatively associated with POZ at the late postoperative stage (ΔEOZ/POZ: p = 0.043; ΔEOZ/PTZ: p = 0.020). The EOZ continued decreasing following hyperopic KLEx. A larger TZ and POZ would result in a larger postoperative EOZ. The effective optical zone (EOZ) following hyperopic KLEx was significantly smaller than the programmed optical zone (POZ) and would constrict with postoperative time.A larger transition zone would help to achieve better refractive outcomes and a larger EOZ following hyperopic KLEx.A larger POZ would also result in a larger EOZ following hyperopic KLEx, which challenges the algorithm design for both enlarging the POZ and the TZ within the limited corneal diameter. The effective optical zone (EOZ) following hyperopic KLEx was significantly smaller than the programmed optical zone (POZ) and would constrict with postoperative time. A larger transition zone would help to achieve better refractive outcomes and a larger EOZ following hyperopic KLEx.

description: A coordinated experimental-analytical-computational program is proposed on establishing materials response in body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal in a region of strain rates hitherto inaccessible in a quantitative fashion. High-energy laser shock compression provides strain rates between10.e6 to 10.e10 s-1. The outcome of this research is a fundamental underpinning for the solid-state frontier: the possible existence of supersonic dislocations and the constitutive response of nanocrystalline metals and bulk metallic glasses at strain rates of 106-1010s-1. The proposed work will address fundamental materials science questions using a coordinated arsenal of methods that includes time-resolved experiments (dynamic diffraction, VISAR), recovery experiments (analytical TEM, static diffraction), advanced computations (MD), and theory. Our vision is to develop fundamental solid-state experimental tools using the Omega (U. of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics) and Janus (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) lasers, which will be used to explore completely new extreme materials regimes on NIF. The research will be carried out in close and continuous collaboration with scientists at LLNL. The principal objectives of this work are to: • Determine, in a quantitative manner, the different deformation mechanisms under the imposed conditions and obtain kinetics of defect generation and motion and twinning; this will entail analytical transmission electron microscopy to identify the individual defects as well as analysis using basic dislocation generation mechanisms, motion, and interaction. Of special importance in nanocrystalline materials are grain-boundary sources and sinks, as well as grain-boundary sliding. In the case of metallic glasses, the mechanisms do not involve dislocation generation and motion. Special experiments will be designed to establish whether dislocations can propagate supersonically under the extreme conditions imposed by laser shock compression (Si will be used for these experiments).

description: Development of Biofuels, Biopolymers and application of Microfluidic Bioreactors are objectives of the proposed research. The team, composed of Professor Tasios Melis (UC Berkeley) and Drs. Frederick Balagadde, William Smith, Douglas Modlin (LLNL), proposes to develop a high throughput screening process based on DNA insertional transformation and mutagenesis in combination with a microreactor platform for the study of biofuel and bio-polymer production in photosynthetic microorganisms. The novel imaging and microfluidics platform will provide tools for easier identification of desirable traits in microalgal strains and better understanding of the induction of useful bioproducts in photosynthetic microorganisms. The response of the bio-product generating photosynthetic microorganisms to the intensity of light and to alternating light-dark cycles will be investigated. These studies will help optimize conditions for high throughput screening and strain isolation, as well as induction of biofuels, thermoplastics and biopolymers developed in the Melis lab. In addition to providing unprecedented insight into the above processes, development of these tools will lead to improvements in the efficiency of large-scale cultures of photosynthetic microorganisms. The microreactor platform is a transparent microfluidic large-scale integrated (MLSI) chip developed by Dr. Frederick Balagadde. Cells in every one of the multiple reactors on each square inch of the chip are exposed to the same intensity of light throughout the culture period. Existing surface culture methods expose only cells at the surface to the same intensity, or cells in a liquid suspension culture to an average intensity. The proposal emphasizes training of a graduate student in the conduct of this R&D effort.

description: We propose to expand and enhance the capability of the insect vapor sensor previously developed by the PIs of the Los Alamos National Laboratory under Stealthy Insect Sensor Project for the detection of vapor signatures related to agricultural infestations. This project represents a highly important joint collaboration between the chemists and biologists from LANL and Plant pathology researchers from UC Davis to couple our detection approach with remote search capability in the hopes of greatly improving current methods for searching agricultural works for signatures of infestations. The impact of early detection of agricultural infestations is significant and could result in millions of dollars in savings, particularly in high value crops within the California agricultural community. Our project involves training honey bees to vapor signatures of agricultural infestation via associative conditioning. We will integrate the trained honey bees into innovative technology matured at LANL which extracts detection signals from the honey bee sensors and processes that signal into “yes/no”. The detection signal is simply phrased as a bee sticking out its tongue. We will couple the LANL technology (Proboscis Extension Reflex Platform-PERP) with wireless data transmission allowing future efforts to progress into remote searching of agricultural works to search for infestations.

description: Esketamine has unique advantages in combination with dexmedetomidine for sedation in young children, owing to its sympathetic activity and mild respiratory depression. However, the optimal dose is yet to be determined. In this study, we compared the different doses of intranasal esketamine combined with dexmedetomidine for sedation during transthoracic echocardiography in toddlers. A total of 121 eligible children aged 13 years, who were scheduled for transthoracic echocardiography were randomized into three groups. They were treated with intranasal dexmedetomidine 1 mcg.kg−1 + esketamine 0.5 mg.kg−1 (group S1), dexmedetomidine 1 mcg.kg−1 + esketamine 1 mg.kg−1 (group S2), or dexmedetomidine 1 mcg.kg−1 + esketamine 1.5 mg.kg−1 (group S3). The primary outcome was the success rate of sedation, other outcomes included HR, SpO2, onset time, wake-up time, and adverse effects. The success rate of sedation was significantly higher in groups S2 (85.4%) and S3 (87.5%) than ingroup S1 (60%) (p = 0.004). The baseline HR and SpO2 did not differ between the groups at the corresponding time points following drug administration. The onset time and duration of sedation in group S1 were significantly longer than those in groups S2 and S3 (p = 0.000). However, there were no differences in the wake-up time or adverse effects among the three groups. Intranasal administration of 1 mg.kg−1 esketamine combined with 1 mcg.kg−1 dexmedetomidine provided satisfactory sedation in young children undergoing transthoracic echocardiography. This sedative approach offers a rapid onset of awakening with few side effects. ChiCTR2200060976, 2022/06/14 (trail from August 2022 to January 2023)

description: To evaluate levels of 3 tear-soluble neuropeptides in dry eye patients and to identify the correlations with clinical signs and symptoms. A total of 16 dry eye patients and 12 healthy volunteers were enrolled. Dry eye disease (DED) diagnosis was based on the 2017 Report of the Tear Film & Ocular Surface Society International Dry Eye Workshop (TFOS DEWS II). First time of noninvasive breakup time (NIBUT-1st), mean time of noninvasive breakup time (NIBUT-avg), tear meniscus height (TMH), Schirmer test, corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) were recorded. Tear fluid samples were collected and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA was performed to analyze levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and substance P (SP), as well as the association among the 3 neuropeptides and clinical findings. Compared to normal controls, levels of tear CGRP (p=.003) and SP (p=.002) were significantly decreased in dry eye patients yet not NPY concentrations. Levels of tear CGRP and SP showed an inverse correlation with CFS and OSDI, which positively correlated with NIBUT-1st, NIBUT-avg and Schirmer test values. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that Schirmer test values were related to tear CGRP concentration. Subgroup analysis showed lower tear CGRP concentration in DED patients with severe symptoms (OSDI ≥ 46). Levels of tear CGRP and SP decreased in DED patients and showed meaningful correlations with clinical symptoms and signs, implying a potential relationship between tear neuropeptides and ocular neurosensory function.

description: Maize, a crucial crop globally cultivated across vast regions, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America, occupies 197 million hectares as of 2021. Various statistical and machine learning models, including mixed-effect models, random coefficients models, random forests, and deep learning architectures, have been devised to predict maize yield. These models consider factors such as genotype, environment, genotype-environment interaction, and field management. However, the existing models often fall short of fully exploiting the complex network of causal relationships among these factors and the hierarchical structure inherent in agronomic data. This study introduces an innovative approach integrating random effects into Bayesian networks (BNs), leveraging their capacity to model causal and probabilistic relationships through directed acyclic graphs. Rooted in the linear mixed-effects models framework and tailored for hierarchical data, this novel approach demonstrates enhanced BN learning. Application to a real-world agronomic trial produces a model with improved interpretability, unveiling new causal connections. Notably, the proposed method significantly reduces the error rate in maize yield prediction from 28% to 17%. These results advocate for the preference of BNs in constructing practical decision support tools for hierarchical agronomic data, facilitating causal inference.

description: During the past decade, deep neural networks have led to fast-paced progress and significant achievements in computer vision problems, for both academia and industry. Yet despite their success, state-of-the-art image classification approaches fail to generalize well in previously unseen visual contexts, as required by many real-world applications. In this paper, we focus on this domain generalization (DG) problem and argue that the generalization ability of deep convolutional neural networks can be improved by taking advantage of multi-layer and multi-scaled representations of the network. We introduce a framework that aims at improving domain generalization of image classifiers by combining both low-level and high-level features at multiple scales, enabling the network to implicitly disentangle representations in its latent space and learn domain-invariant attributes of the depicted objects. Additionally, to further facilitate robust representation learning, we propose a novel objective function, inspired by contrastive learning, which aims at constraining the extracted representations to remain invariant under distribution shifts. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by evaluating on the domain generalization datasets of PACS, VLCS, Office-Home and NICO. Through extensive experimentation, we show that our model is able to surpass the performance of previous DG methods and consistently produce competitive and state-of-the-art results in all datasets
