description: Hop stunt viroid and Hop latent viroid have proven recalcitrant to attempts to eliminatethem. This project was undertaken to understand the localization of the two viroids within the hop cultivars, ‘Comet,’ ‘Chinook,’ ‘Canadian Red,’ and ‘Wuerttemberger’ under cold and dark stress with the goal of improving viroid elimination therapies. With micro-shoot tip culture, HSVd elimination was successful in 4% to 9% of regenerated meristems and HLVd elimination was successful 19% to 54% in ‘Comet’ and ‘Chinook,’ respectively. HLVd was not eliminated in ‘Canadian Red’ and ‘Wuerttemberger.’ In situ hybridization showed that HSVd was present in the ground meristem, but not the tunica, while HLVd was not present in the first ~500 μM in ‘Comet’ and ‘Chinook.’ HLVd was present in the ground meristem of ‘Wuerttemberger.’ This localization may explain the difficulty of eradicating the viroids from infected hops. Dark therapy increased viroid titers and is not advisable. Though cold therapy decreased viroid titers, meristems failed to regenerate. Unexpectedly, sourcing shoots from plants during spring that experienced a natural dormancy period showed an increase in HLVd elimination (ranging from 50% to 100%) in cvs. ‘Cascade,’ ‘Centennial,’ ‘Triumph,’ and ‘Wuerttemberger.’ This increase in HLVd elimination, accompanied by a 13-fold increase in HSVd elimination, was observed in ‘Comet’ plants that experienced an artificially induced spring.

description: Based on chemical engineering, techno-economic and sustainability principles, a strategic framework is built to evaluate processes for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production. This thesis begins with a literature review of emerging SAF technologies and the identification of techno-economic and environmental challenges. Detailed process and economic models are built for seven SAF technologies. The information collected are used to build a simplified equation where minimum fuel selling price (MFSP) is correlated with feedstock price, conversion cost, and yield. This simple equation is used to visualize techno-economic challenges of SAF production. The main challenge to produce SAFs at competitive prices is the low conversion yield of all the existing technologies from lignocellulosic materials (less than 0.25 kg jet fuel produced/kg of biomass feedstock). These low yields are mostly due to the removal of oxygen in the form of CO2 in the deoxygenation step which resulted in lower fuel yields. To achieve targeted MFSP from lignocellulosic materials fuel yield needs to be close to 60 wt. %. General guidelines are proposed for SAF production technologies from lignocellulosic materials to achieve that goal. A novel concept based on biomass carbonization, CO2 gasification/CH4 steam reforming for syngas (CO/H2) production. With this new concept, several paths are available for jet fuel production from syngas at yields higher than 1 kg of jet fuel/per kg of biomass processed. We continue the analysis of new SAF production concepts using rigorous mathematical modeling framework by process graph (P-graph). This modeling framework suggests several new SAF producing concepts coupled with the production of bioproducts. Acetic acid production seems to be particularly attractive. The next three sections of this dissertation focus on near- or short-term strategic assessment of SAF producing technologies by integrating them in existing industrial infrastructures. Integration strategies propose several scenarios that benefit from utilizing existing infrastructures and their existing product and waste stream. These scenarios are evaluated to build a sustainability matrix, in terms of economic and environmental performance indicator. These evaluations result in a collection of 47 integrated scenarios that provide economic and environmental benefit, in terms of minimum fuel selling price and greenhouse gas emission, respectively.

description: Despite the important role of the carboxyl-terminus (Ct) of the activated brain cannabinoid receptor one (CB1) in the regulation of G protein signaling, a structural understanding of interactions with G proteins is lacking. This is largely due to the highly flexible nature of the CB1 Ct that dynamically adapts its conformation to the presence of G proteins. In the present study, we explored how the CB1 Ct can interact with the G protein by building on our prior modeling of the CB1-Gi complex (Shim J-Y, Ahn KH, Kendall DA. The Journal of Biological Chemistry 2013;288:32449-32465) to incorporate a complete CB1 Ct (Glu416Ct–Leu472Ct). Based upon the structural constraints from NMR studies, we employed ROSETTA to predict tertiary folds, ZDOCK to predict docking orientation, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to obtain two distinct plausible models of CB1 Ct in the CB1-Gi complex. The resulting models were consistent with the NMR-determined helical structure (H9) in the middle region of the CB1 Ct. The CB1 Ct directly interacted with both Gα and Gβ and stabilized the receptor at the Gi interface. The results of site-directed mutagenesis studies of Glu416Ct, Asp423Ct, Asp428Ct, and Arg444Ct of CB1 Ct suggested that the CB1 Ct can influence receptor-G protein coupling by stabilizing the receptor at the Gi interface. This research provided, for the first time, models of the CB1 Ct in contact with the G protein.

description: Gene duplication and loss are major driving forces in evolution. While many important genomic resources provide information on gene presence, there is a lack of tools giving equal importance to presence and absence information as well as web platforms enabling easy visual comparison of multiple domain-based protein occurences at once. Here, we present Aquerium, a platform for visualizing genomic presence and absence of biomolecules with a focus on protein domain architectures. The web server offers advanced domain organization querying against the database of pre-computed domains for ~26000 organisms and it can be utilized for identification of evolutionary events, such as fusion, disassociation, duplication and shuffling of protein domains. The tool also allows alternative inputs of custom entries or BLASTP results for visualization. Aquerium will be a useful tool for biologists who perform comparative genomic and evolutionary analyses. The web server is freely accessible at http://aquerium.utk.edu.

description: The crop stressors often reduce the yield, quality, and marketability of the produce. This dissertation focuses on the development of precision technologies to manage biotic and abiotic stressors in deciduous crops and vineyards. A solid set canopy delivery system (SSCDS), a variant of fixed spray application system, have been studied as an alternative to the air-blast sprayers. Despite several advantages, inapt and expensive micro-emitter/nozzle configuration and manual system operation were major hurdle towards large-scale commercial adaptation of SSCDS. Also, existing abiotic crop loss (e.g., apple sunburn) management approaches lack reliable in-field sensing driven decision support tools for efficient stress mitigation. Therefore, the overall aims of this dissertation were to investigate and optimize the SSCDSs for effective insect/pest management as well as to develop a smart in-field crop loss monitoring system that could be integrated with automated SSCDS or similar systems.In this pursuit, the SSCDS was optimized to improve the spray performance and reduce the installation costs. Relatively inexpensive off-the-shelf irrigation micro-emitters were modified to obtain desirable spray performance from optimized SSCDS configured for modern architecture trained apple orchards and vineyards. The modified configurations demonstrated either comparable or better spray performance in terms of spray coverage, deposition, uniformity and drift, compared to the non-modified system. Furthermore, an electronic control system and a spray control unit were developed for field level SSCDS automation. The automated SSCDS performed reliably with desired sequencing of the valves to achieve precise spray application. To effectively monitor and manage the apple sunburn associated losses, developed was an internet of things enabled crop physiology sensing (CPS) system. The CPS utilizes visible-infrared imagery and in-field weather data to estimate sunburn susceptibility. The field performance of CPS system was validated and improved in 2019 season. In the following season, improved system (CPS 2.0) and aerial infrared-visible sensing was deployed in an apple orchard to evaluate the heat stress mitigation efficacy of modified evaporative cooling (EC) system and shade net (SN) protection. Overall, system was able to evaluate the mitigation efficacy of the modified EC and SN and deployed protection measures indicated improvement in the yield, and quality.

description: COVID-19 and the associated policy measures that curbed vast stretches of public life highlighted the need for more urban green spaces, as people started to utilise existing green areas significantly more (in countries where parks and other green spaces were not closed down). This trend also emphasised the fact that some neighbourhoods – often populated by vulnerable socioeconomic groups, such as ethnic minorities, low-skilled and informal workers, etc. – have a lot less green space than others, exacerbating physical and mental health problems, as well as making it more difficult for people to socialise and engage in community-building.

description: Using lattice QCD, we calculate the twist-2 contribution a2 to the third Mellin moment of the spin structure functions g1 and g2 in the nucleon. In addition we evaluate the twist-3 contribution d2. Our computations make use of Nf=2+1 gauge field ensembles generated by the Coordinated Lattice Simulations effort. Neglecting quark-line disconnected contributions we obtain as our best estimates a(p)2=0.069(17), d(p)2=0.0105(68) and a(n)2=0.0068(88), d(n)2=−0.0009(70) for the proton and the neutron, respectively, where we use the normalizations given in Eqs. (58) and (59). While the a2 results have been converted to the ¯¯¯¯¯¯MS scheme using three-loop perturbation theory, the numbers for d2 are given in the regularization independent momentum subtraction scheme, i.e., the conversion has been performed only in tree-level perturbation theory. The d2 results can be interpreted as corresponding to a transverse color Lorentz force on a quark in a transversely polarized proton of size F(u)=116(61) and F(d)=−38(66) MeV/fm for u and d quarks, respectively. The error estimates quoted include statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature.

description: Cooperative behaviors are common in humans and are fundamental to our society. Theoretical and experimental studies have modeled environments in which the behaviors of humans, or agents, have been restricted to analyze their social behavior. However, it is important that such studies are generalized to less restrictive environments to understand human society. Social network games (SNGs) provide a particularly powerful tool for the quantitative study of human behavior. In SNGs, numerous players can behave more freely than in the environments used in previous studies; moreover, their relationships include apparent conflicts of interest and every action can be recorded. We focused on reciprocal altruism, one of the mechanisms that generate cooperative behavior. This study aims to investigate cooperative behavior based on reciprocal altruism in a less restrictive environment. For this purpose, we analyzed the social behavior underlying such cooperative behavior in an SNG. We focused on a game scenario in which the relationship between the players was similar to that in the Leader game. We defined cooperative behaviors by constructing a payoff matrix in the scenario. The results showed that players maintained cooperative behavior based on reciprocal altruism, and cooperators received more advantages than noncooperators. We found that players constructed reciprocal relationships based on two types of interactions, cooperative behavior and unproductive communication.

description: Large urban jails have become a collection point for many persons with severe mental illness. Connections between jail and community mental health services are needed to assure in-jail care and to promote successful community living following release. This paper addresses this issue for 2855 individuals with severe mental illness who received community mental health services prior to jail detention in King County (Seattle), Washington over a 5-year time period using a unique linked administrative data source. Logistic regression was used to determine the probability that a detainee with severe mental illness received mental health services while in jail as a function of demographic and clinical characteristics. Overall, 70 % of persons with severe mental illness did receive in-jail mental health treatment. Small, but statistically significant sex and race differences were observed in who received treatment in the jail psychiatric unit or from the jail infirmary. Findings confirm the jail's central role in mental health treatment and emphasize the need for greater information sharing and collaboration with community mental health agencies to minimize jail use and to facilitate successful community reentry for detainees with severe mental illness.

description: The field of flexible antennas is witnessing exponential growth due to the demand for wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT) framework, point of care devices, personalized medicine platform, 5G technology, wireless sensor networks, and communication devices with a smaller form factor to name a few. The choice of non-rigid antennas is application-specific and depends on the substrate type, materials used, processing techniques, antenna performance, and the surrounding environment. There are numerous design innovations, new materials and material properties, intriguing fabrication methods, and niche applications. The aim of this research is two-fold. Firstly, to review the need for flexible antennas, materials, and processes for fabricating the antennas, various material properties influencing antenna performance, and inherent applications, challenges, and prospects in wireless solutions. Secondly, propose a guideline for inkjet printing on a high-temperature sustainable thin ceramic substrate and design differently shaped flexible ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas on different substrate types. Initially, an insight into numerous design innovations, new materials and material properties, intriguing fabrication methods, and niche applications for flexible antennas were demonstrated. Next, the optimization of printing properties on a new, flexible ceramic substrate was determined to ensure an electrically conductive and repeatable pattern. After experimental investigation, the optimum printing parameters were found to be 20 μm drop spacing, three layers of printing, and 300 °C sintering temperature for 30 min. After that, a new ultra-wideband circular-shaped antenna operating over 2.52-17.82 GHz is realized on that ceramic substrate using the obtained optimum inkjet printing parameters. Next, the UWB antenna was fabricated on PET operating from 3.04-10.70 GHz, 15.18-18 GHz (partial Ku band). A new tuning fork-shaped flexible UWB antenna was also designed on PET substrate operating from 2.75 to 16.75 GHz with enhanced array structure gain. Finally, a new high-frequency antenna array design is proposed to keep pace with future IoT and high-frequency applications like satellite and radar communications with beam steering characteristics. The array antenna also operates in the upper X, Ku and K, partially Ka band with a high gain suitable for required applications.

description: OBJECTIVE: The study evaluated an intervention to help veterans with psychiatric disabilities, who face a unique set of challenges concerning money management.

METHODS: A randomized clinical trial was conducted of a brief (one to three hours) psychoeducational, recovery-oriented money management intervention called $teps for Achieving Financial Empowerment ($AFE).

RESULTS: Analyses revealed no main effects on outcomes of random assignment to $AFE (N=67) or a control condition consisting of usual care (N=77). Veterans who reported using $AFE skills showed significantly lower impulsive buying, more responsible spending, higher rates of engaging in vocational activities, and greater number of work hours compared with veterans in the control condition.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings have clinical implications for case management services involving informal money management assistance. Offering veterans with psychiatric disabilities a one-time money management intervention is unlikely to lead to substantial changes. Results imply that efforts to improve psychosocial outcomes among veterans must not only teach but also increase use of money management skills.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF GOODWILL ACCOUNTING METHODS, CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND TAXES FOR THE COST OF DEBT

Year: 2022
Subjects: accounting standards

description: This dissertation investigates the implications of corporate social responsibility, tax avoidance, and goodwill impairments for debt capital providers. The first essay considers whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) acts as insurance to protect corporate creditors against risks linked to tax avoidance. Risk management theory suggests that CSR generates valueby preserving corporate financial performance. I rely on this theory to hypothesize that CSR mitigates the known positive association between tax avoidance and the cost of debt. The interaction between CSR and tax avoidance is negatively associated with bond yields and is consistent across multiple measures of tax avoidance. At the mean cash effective tax rate, a one standard deviation increase in CSR is, on average, associated with a 2.3 basis-point decrease in bond yields. Positive CSR activities, rather than fewer CSR concerns, drive this result. Overall, the findings suggest that CSR tempers the risks of tax avoidance. My second essay focuses on the implications of goodwill impairments for creditors. On December 16, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) announced it intends to eliminate goodwill impairment testing and reintroduce amortization. This decision came after reporting companies voiced complaints about the complexity, costliness, and lack of benefits of the annual impairment testing. Although prior research considers the usefulness of goodwill impairment charges for equity investors, I examine their information content for creditors. I find that goodwill impairment losses are positively associated with bond and loan spreads. Further analysis shows that the occurrence of impairments is associated with higher bond spreads; rather than adjusting interest rates, banks appear to require more stringent covenants. These results are consistent with impairment losses conveying private information about firms’ prospects, and creditors respond with adjustments to compensate for the increased risk. Path analysis shows that the effect of goodwill impairments on the cost of debt is mediated by volatility in future profits and volatility in future cash flows. The study results remain consistent after controlling for firm fixed effects and accounting for sample heterogeneity using entropy balancing. Overall, the findings suggest that goodwill impairments send meaningful signals to the credit market pertaining to future financial performance.

HYDRAULIC AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF AN ELECTROCHEMICALLY REMEDIATED CLAYEY SOIL
Creators: name: Akinleye, Taiwo Olawale
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2022

description: Electrochemical (EC) method has shown promising tendencies as an alternative to excavation and off-site disposal for in-situ treatment of inorganic contaminated fine-grained soils. However, the post hydro-mechanical behavior of the treated soil is not fully known. In this study, laboratory-scale reactor experiments resemblant of a field-scale EC system were conducted on soil samples collected from two borehole locations from a rights-of-way site in Illinois, reported to be contaminated with arsenic (As) and manganese (Mn) that violates their maximum allowable concentration (MAC). Using a combination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and/or citrate buffer as treatment solutions, the reactor experiments were carried out for a duration of 28, 17 and 14 days, while applying a low intensity electrical field to compacted soil samples. Treatment using 10% H2O2 and citrate buffer solution had an average removal of 23% and 8% for Mn and As. For the second reactor experiment where 4% H2O2 and citrate buffer was used, 39% (for Mn) and 24% (for As) removal efficiency were achieved; while using only citrate buffer as the treatment solution for the third reactor experiment, 49% (for Mn) and 9% (for As) extraction were achieved. All chemical regimes adopted in this study reduced the concentration of As and Mn to below their MAC for use as fill material in Illinois as specified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Results from geotechnical analyses demonstrated that the treatment process has effects on the hydraulic, mechanical, and overall physiochemical properties of the soil. These changes occurred owing to the reactions, including pH gradient and redox reactions that occurred within the EC system. Furthermore, the plasticity (1%, 117% increase and 32% reduction for experiment 1, 2 and 3 respectively), strength (6%, 26% reduction and 100% increase for experiment 1, 2 and 3 respectively) and water retention behavior of the treated soil exhibited several phenomena when varied with residual concentration of As and Mn. The findings from this study indicates that EC treatment has considerable effects on the post hydromechanical behavior of soils, and thus, becomes imperative for proper evaluation and care when adopted in the field.
Probing colloidal gels at multiple lengthscales: the role of hydrodynamics

description: Colloidal gels are out-of-equilibrium structures, made up of a rarefied network of colloidal particles. Comparing experiments to numerical simulations, with hydrodynamic interactions switched off, we demonstrate the crucial role of the solvent for gelation. Hydrodynamic interactions suppress the formation of larger local equilibrium structures of closed geometry, and instead lead to the formation of highly anisotropic threads, which promote an open gel network. We confirm these results with simulations which include hydrodynamics. Based on three-point correlations, we propose a scale-resolved quantitative measure for the anisotropy of the gel structure. We find a strong discrepancy for interparticle distances just under twice the particle diameter between systems with and without hydrodynamics, quantifying the role of hydrodynamics from a structural point of view.

description: We describe the algorithm used to select the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) using photometric data from both the SDSS and the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). LRG targets are required to meet a set of color selection criteria and have z-band and i-band MODEL magnitudes z < 19.95 and 19.9 < i < 21.8, respectively. Our algorithm selects roughly 50 LRG targets per square degree, the great majority of which lie in the redshift range 0.6 < z < 1.0 (median redshift 0.71). We demonstrate that our methods are highly effective at eliminating stellar contamination and lower-redshift galaxies. We perform a number of tests using spectroscopic data from SDSS-III/BOSS to determine the redshift reliability of our target selection and its ability to meet the science requirements of eBOSS. The SDSS spectra are of high enough signal-to-noise ratio that at least 89% of the target sample yields secure redshift measurements. We also present tests of the uniformity and homogeneity of the sample, demonstrating that it should be clean enough for studies of the large-scale structure of the universe at higher redshifts than SDSS-III/BOSS LRGs reached.

HOW DOES GENOMIC VARIATION EVOLVE IN ASEXUAL POPULATIONS AFTER AN INVASION EVENT?

description: Genetic variation is typically associated with the ability to establish a population in a newenvironment. Most invasion events should be relatively unsuccessful because population bottlenecks reduce genetic variation. This reduction in genetic variation makes new populations susceptible to parasites, disease, and the loss of beneficial variants. Invasive asexual species pose an interesting case as their populations are often presumed to be genetically depauperate and encounter more genetic “challenges”. To establish a new population, they must also overcome the accumulation of deleterious mutations and clonal interference. Despite this, many asexual species have become highly invasive. We asked the question; how does genomic variation evolve in asexual populations after invasion? To answer this question, we investigated genomic variation within North American populations of the highly invasive asexual snail, Potamopygrus antipodarum (New Zealand Mud Snail). The New Zealand Mud Snail is a parthenogenetic freshwater species that originally invaded Idaho’s Snake River in 1987. To determine how their genomes have changed post invasion, we aligned previously sequenced methylated DNA immunoprecipitation reads to a reference transcriptome for two old (river) sites and three new iv (lake) sites. We then called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to quantify genomic diversity, identify population substructure, and investigate invasion history. To quantify genomic diversity, we calculated population mutation rate (θ) and nucleotide diversity (π). We used hierarchical F statistics to investigate how genetic variation was structured. Lastly, we analyzed allele frequency spectra and calculated Tajima’s D to investigate invasion history. We found that all populations had a similar amount of nucleotide diversity (.354 -.379) and a similar population mutation rate (.038-.065). Variation was structured at the site level (FST =.497), and all pairwise FST comparisons showed genetic differentiation (FST > .15). Recent bottlenecks were inferred from the allele frequency spectra of all populations. This result was supported by Tajima’s D values which were all positive (.941 - 1.40). We found North American populations of P. antipodarum to have high levels of genetic variation and were genetically differentiated. We believe this research highlights the importance of testing for genetic diversity in invasive populations before assuming a lack of genetic variation.

Representations of affine superalgebras and mock theta functions III

Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study modular invariance of normalized supercharacters of tame integrable modules over an affine Lie superalgebra, associated to an arbitrary basic Lie superalgebra $ \mathfrak{g}. $ For this we develop a several step modification process of multivariable mock theta functions, where at each step a Zwegers' type "modifier" is used. We show that the span of the resulting modified normalized supercharacters is $ SL_2(\mathbb{Z}) $-invariant, with the transformation matrix equal, in the case the Killing form on $\mathfrak{g}$ is non-degenerate, to that for the subalgebra $ \mathfrak{g}^! $ of $ \mathfrak{g}, $ orthogonal to a maximal isotropic set of roots of $ \mathfrak{g}. $
