title: A Quantitative Study On Extraction Versus Direct Amplification Of Touch DNA Samples
Creators: name: Basrawi, Jude
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Touch DNA
subject: Direct amplification

description: Touch DNA, also known as Trace DNA, is an important aspect of criminal investigations, as the perpetrator is unaware of the DNA they have left behind. While there are multiple ways to extract touch DNA, it has been established that direct amplification provides exemplary results. Direct Amplification is the process of analyzing the samples by amplifying them without extraction or quantitation. However, there is no measure on how much information direct amplification provides as opposed to other widely used methods including standard extraction procedures. This study aimed to look at the differences in information obtained when processing a touch DNA sample using standard extraction procedures versus a direct amplification approach. Understanding the scope of information collected by direct amplification versus standard extraction procedures can be used to facilitate new protocols for processing touch DNA. This study focused on collecting touch DNA samples from 20 volunteers and processing the DNA using two methods. In the first half of the study, half of the samples were extracted, quantified, and amplified using the InnoXtractTM, InnoQuantTM and InnoTyperTM kits, respectively, from InnoGenomics, LLC. The next part of the study included adding swabs to be directly amplified using the InnoTyperTM 21 kit. Rather than the standard extraction protocol, this method included placing the swab heads directly into the PCR tubes for amplification. Samples undergoing direct amplification are expected to show more information due to the fact that standard extraction protocols often result in loss of DNA. Data generated from capillary electrophoresis was compared by reviewing the allele peak heights. Samples exhibiting “real” and representative peaks were further reviewed to determine if the peaks were real or due to artifacts such as noise. The research findings may lead to revised protocols that can be applied to difficult sample types, such as touch DNA, which often result in partial DNA profiles that often contain very little information.

description: The ferroelectric polarization switching in ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide (Hf0.5Zr0.5O2, HZO) in the HZO/Al2O3 ferroelectric/dielectric stack is investigated systematically by capacitance-voltage and polarization-voltage measurements. The thickness of dielectric layer is found to have a determinant impact on the ferroelectric polarization switching of ferroelectric HZO. A suppression of ferroelectricity is observed with thick dielectric layer. In the gate stacks with thin dielectric layers, a full polarization switching of the ferroelectric layer is found possible by the proposed leakage-current-assist mechanism through the ultrathin dielectric layer. Theoretical simulation results agree well with experimental data. This work clarifies some of the critical parts of the long-standing confusions and debating related to negative capacitance field-effect transistors (NC-FETs) concepts and experiments.

description: Every nonsingular fermion mass matrix, by an appropriate unitary transformation of right-chiral fields, is equivalent to a triangular matrix. Using the freedom in choosing bases of right-chiral fields in the minimal standard model, reduction to triangular form reduces the well-known ambiguities in reconstructing a mass matrix to trivial phase redefinitions. Furthermore, diagonalization of the quark mass sectors can be shifted to one charge sector only, without loosing the concise and economic triangular form. The corresponding effective triangular mass matrix is reconstructed, up to trivial phases, from the moduli of the CKM matrix elements, and vice versa, in a unique way. A new formula for the parametrization independent CP-measure in terms of observables is derived and discussed.

description: The PDI ("Peters-Durner-Iden") model system represents a robust framework for parameterizing soil hydraulic properties, i.e. the water retention curve and the hydraulic conductivity curve, across the entire soil moisture spectrum. This model accounts for water retention and hydraulic conductivity in completely and partially-filled pores, including adsorption and film-flow. The model was developed in stages and a comprehensive overview of the model development and the model equations is provided in Peters et al. (2024). In this repository, we provide a Python file named "pdi.py" which can be used to compute the various submodels (PDI-VG, PDI-KOS, PDI-FX, ...) of the PDI model system. One MS Excel file is provided for easy access to one PDI model, the PDI-VG. The PYTHON functions contained in "pdi.py" can be used to calculate the water retention curve, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curve, the specific water capacity function, and the soil water diffusivity function. In addition, we provide five python scripts which illustrate how to call the various PDI functions in different contexts. Notably, "pdi.py" incorporates a utility function, 'export_hydrus_materin', which generates an ASCII file named "MATER.IN". This file serves as input for simulations with Hydrus-1D and Hydrus-2D3D, offering seamless integration with these simulation platforms. It's important to emphasize that the provided Python scripts and accompanying documentation are closely aligned with the research article by Peters et al. (2024). To streamline accessibility, the repository refrains from redundantly restating the theory or equations already detailed in the referenced publication.
description: The dataset consists of the data shown in Figure 3 of the article in Vadose Zone Journal (https://doi.org/10.1002/vzj2.20338). This data was measured in the soil physics lab in the Institute of Geoecology at TU Braunschweig, Germany, with the evaporation method using the HYPROP measurement system. The python codes and the Excel spreadsheet were developed by Dr. Sascha C. Iden.

Using this framework we construct a theory for scotogenic dark matter and analyze its main features.

Low Lattice Thermal Conductivity of a Two-Dimensional Phosphorene Oxide

description: A fundamental understanding of the phonon transport mechanism is important for optimizing the efficiency of thermoelectric devices. In this study, we investigate the thermal transport properties of the oxidized form of phosphorene called phosphorene oxide (PO) by solving phonon Boltzmann transport equation based on first-principles density functional theory. We reveal that PO exhibits a much lower thermal conductivity (2.42-7.08 W/mK, at 300 K) than its pristine counterpart as well as other two-dimensional materials. To comprehend the physical origin of such low thermal conductivity, we scrutinize the contribution of each phonon branch to the thermal conductivity by evaluating various mode-dependent quantities including Gruneisen parameters, anharmonic threep-honon scattering rate, phase space of three-phonon scattering processes. Our results show that its exible puckered structure of PO leads to smaller sound velocities; its broken-mirror symmetry allows more ZA phonon scattering; and the relatively-free vibration of dangling oxygen atoms in PO gives rise to additional scattering resulting in further reduction in the phonon lifetime. These results can be verified by the fact that PO has larger phase space for three-phonon processes than phosphorene. Furthermore we show that the thermal conductivity of PO can be optimized by controlling its size or its phonon mean free path, indicating that PO can be a promising candidate for low-dimensional thermoelectric devices.

description: Several properties of trapped hard sphere bosons are evaluated using variational Monte Carlo techniques. A trial wave function composed of a renormalized single particle Gaussian and a hard sphere Jastrow function for pair correlations is used to study the sensitivity of condensate and non-condensate properties to the hard sphere radius and the number of particles. Special attention is given to diagonalizing the one body density matrix and obtaining the corresponding single particle natural orbitals and their occupation numbers for the system. The condensate wave function and condensate fraction are then obtained from the single particle orbital with highest occupation. The effect of interaction on other quantities such as the ground state energy, the mean radial displacement, and the momentum distribution are calculated as well. Results are compared with Mean Field theory in the dilute limit.

description: The $α$ person is the dominant person in a group. We define the $α$-author of a paper as the author of the paper with the highest $h$-index among all the coauthors, and an $α$-paper of a scientist as a paper authored or coauthored by the scientist where he/she is the $α$-author. For most but not all papers in the literature there is only one $α$-author. We define the $h_α$ index of a scientist as the number of papers in the $h$-core of the scientist (i.e. the set of papers that contribute to the $h$-index of the scientist) where this scientist is the $α$-author. We also define the $h'_α$ index of a scientist as the number of $α$-papers of this scientist that have $\geq$ $h'_α$ citations. $h_α$ and $h'_α$ contain similar information, while $h'_α$ is conceptually more appealing it is harder to obtain from existing databases, hence of less current practical interest. We propose that the $h_α$ and/or $h'_α$ indices, or other variants discussed in the paper, are useful complements to the $h$-index of a scientist to quantify his/her scientific achievement, that rectify an inherent drawback of the $h$-index, its inability to distinguish between authors with different coauthorships patterns. A high $h$ index in conjunction with a high $h_α/h$ ratio is a hallmark of scientific leadership.

description: Theorems of the form "if every m objects from a set has a certain property P, then the entire set has the property P" are known as Helly-type theorems, after Eduard Helly's theorem of 1923. Many transversal theorems on collections of bodies in Rn have been stated and proved in this Helly-type style. In this paper, we primarily focus on the planar case of transversals providing support to a collection of convex bodies. Previous authors have shown that given a sufficiently large family of pairwise disjoint convex planar bodies with the property that any three bodies share a support line, the entire family shares at least one support line. Unfortunately, sufficiently large does not provide an exact number of bodies necessary to ensure that if any three bodies have the support property, then the entire family does. Using what is called a (special) set-system of words and letters to model these disjoint convex planar bodies, the existing literature shows us that the minimum number of bodies necessary to ensure the aforementioned support property is no more than 143. In this paper we do not provide the exact number, but rather a generalized framework for which this planar case is a special case. Consistent with earlier authors, we too use a set-system of words and letters. Within our framework, these systems are known as k-systems and special k-systems. We provide a few Helly-type results on both k-systems and special k-systems.

description: The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a supervised learning method that is widely used for data classification and regression. SVM training times can be significant for large training dataset. In pursuit of developing efficient optimization techniques for training SVM with very large datasets, the decomposition method is often used, where the SVM problem is broken into a series of SVM sub-problems. The subset of elements used in each decomposition step, called a working set, needs to be selected efficiently while working toward the goal of finding the full SVM solution. ​SVM training time can be further reduced by using parallel processing, allowing the training algorithms to run faster and more reliably. In this work, we used the Augmented Lagrangian Fast Projected Gradient Method (ALFPGM) and the Nonlinear Rescaling Augmented Lagrangian (NRAL) are used for training the SVM subproblems. We developed and implemented parallel algorithms for training SVM and we used optimized matrix-vector, matrix-matrix operations, and memory management to speed up the ALFPGM and NRAL algorithms. We proposed new working set selection (WSS) schemes to select the working sets used in the SVM decomposition. The results obtained using the proposed WSS show faster training times, while achieving a similar classification error compared to other approaches found in the literature. Numerical results showing SVM training times and classification errors obtained using the ALFPGM and NRAL methods are compared with the results obtained using LibSVM a widely used SVM solver. Numerical results show that faster training times were achieved using NRAL over LibSVM for large dataset SVM problems while achieving similar and in some cases smaller training data classification errors.

description: To effectively manage interactions between industrial activities and wildlife populations in increasingly urbanised environments, it is essential to understand how animals may be affected by different anthropogenic activities. In this thesis, I used biologging devices to investigate the potential effects of sound disturbance on seals. By simulation study, I evaluated the use of statistical tools (Mahalanobis distance) to detect unusual instances of movement and dive behaviour in seal biologging data. The results of these simulations were used to produce recommendations for future studies aiming to detect behavioural changes in animal movement data. Building on the findings of this work, I examined the movement and dive behaviour of 24 harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) during pile driving construction at an offshore wind farm in the UK. Using GPS location data collected on animal-borne tags, I identified statistically unusual horizontal movement events during pile driving, typically consisting of increases in speed, the cessation of horizontal movement, or the sudden initiation of travel. Using dive data from animal-borne tags, I identified statistically unusual groups of dives, and also characterised the effect of pile driving activity on behaviour-switching between different dive types (by hidden Markov models). Seals were found to switch dive behaviours more often during pile driving (compared to baseline periods), and the identified unusual dives were typically shorter and shallower, with longer post-dive surface intervals. For both horizontal and diving responses, dose-response curves were produced to estimate the relationship between the received sound level of pile driving and the probability of a behavioural change. By examining behaviour at the individual-level, improved insights of at-sea seal behaviour during disturbance events were gained. The results of this thesis also inform future offshore activities, enabling the renewable energy industry to develop in a timely and environmentally-responsible manner.

description: It is shown that hadron abundances in high energy e+e-, pp and p{\bar p} collisions, calculated by assuming that particles originate in hadron gas fireballs at thermal and partial chemical equilibrium, are in very good agreement with the data. The freeze-out temperature of the hadron gas fireballs turns out to be nearly constant over a large center of mass energy range and not dependent on the initial colliding system. The only deviation from chemical equilibrium resides in the incomplete strangeness phase space saturation. Preliminary results of an analysis of hadron abundances in S+S and S+Ag heavy ion collisions are presented.

description: Mobile systems will have to support multiple AI-based applications, each leveraging heterogeneous data sources through DNN architectures collaboratively executed within the network. To minimize the cost of the AI inference task subject to requirements on latency, quality, and - crucially - reliability of the inference process, it is vital to optimize (i) the set of sensors/data sources and (ii) the DNN architecture, (iii) the network nodes executing sections of the DNN, and (iv) the resources to use. To this end, we leverage dynamic gated neural networks with branches, and propose a novel algorithmic strategy called Quantile-constrained Inference (QIC), based upon quantile-Constrained policy optimization. QIC makes joint, high-quality, swift decisions on all the above aspects of the system, with the aim to minimize inference energy cost. We remark that this is the first contribution connecting gated dynamic DNNs with infrastructure-level decision making. We evaluate QIC using a dynamic gated DNN with stems and branches for optimal sensor fusion and inference, trained on the RADIATE dataset offering Radar, LiDAR, and Camera data, and real-world wireless measurements. Our results confirm that QIC matches the optimum and outperforms its alternatives by over 80%.

description: We have advanced the energy and flux budget (EFB) turbulence closure theory that takes into account a two-way coupling between internal gravity waves (IGW) and the shear-free stably stratified turbulence. This theory is based on the budget equation for the total (kinetic plus potential) energy of IGW, the budget equations for the kinetic and potential energies of fluid turbulence, and turbulent fluxes of potential temperature for waves and fluid flow. The waves emitted at a certain level, propagate upward, and the losses of wave energy cause the production of turbulence energy. We demonstrate that due to the nonlinear effects more intensive waves produce more strong turbulence, and this, in turns, results in strong damping of IGW. As a result, the penetration length of more intensive waves is shorter than that of less intensive IGW. The anisotropy of the turbulence produced by less intensive IGW is stronger than that caused by more intensive waves. The low amplitude IGW produce turbulence consisting up to 90 \% of turbulent potential energy. This resembles the properties of the observed high altitude tropospheric strongly anisotropic (nearly two-dimensional) turbulence.

Superior 2D Shunt Visualisation with ULD CT-Pure IR Comparison of the median Likert scores for ULD CT-Pure IR and PRSS using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank tests. Data represent the median, interquartile range, and minimum and maximum values. In the head and neck, PRSS and ULD CT-Pure IR were comparable with no significant difference observed (p = ns, not significant). In the thorax and abdomen however, visualisation quality was significantly better with ULD CT-Pure IR (**p = 0.004 and *p = 0.031 respectively).

description: We report an $\textit{in situ}$ mass measurement of approximately-$4.7{\text -}μ$m-diameter, optically levitated microspheres with an electrostatic co-levitation technique. The mass of a trapped, charged microsphere is measured by holding its axial (vertical) position fixed with an optical feedback force, under the influence of a known electrostatic force. A mass measurement with $1.8\%$ systematic uncertainty is obtained by extrapolating to the electrostatic force required to support the microsphere against gravity in the absence of optical power. In three cases, the microspheres are recovered from the trap on a polymer-coated silicon beam and imaged with an electron microscope to measure their radii. The simultaneous precision characterization of the mass and radius of individual microspheres implies a density of $1.55\pm0.08~$g/cm$^3$. The ability to recover individual microspheres from an optical trap opens the door to further diagnostics.
