Year: 2016

description: Supersymmetry has proven to be a valuable tool in the study of non-perturbative dynamics in  quantum  eld theory, gravity and string theory. In this thesis we consider supersymmetric interfaces.  Interfaces are defects de ned by spatially changing coupling constants. Interfaces can be  used to probe the non-perturbative low energy dynamics of an underlying supersymmetric quantum   eld theory. We study interfaces in a set of four-dimensional quantum  eld theories with N = 2  supersymmetry known as theories of class S. Using these defects we probe the spin content of the  spectrum of quantum states saturating the Bogomolnyi-Prasad-Sommerfeld bound. We also apply  supersymmetric defects to the construction of knot and link invariants via quantum  eld theory.  We associate to a knot - presented as a tangle - an interface de ned by a spatially varying superpotential  in a 2d supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg model. We construct explicitly the Hilbert space  of ground states on this interface as the cohomology of a nilpotent supercharge and prove that this  Hilbert space is bi-graded by integers and is an invariant of the knot (or link). In explicit examples  we show that the corresponding Poincar e polynomial coincides with the Poincar e polynomial of the  renowned Khovanov homology that categori es the Jones polynomial.

description: Alzheimer’s disease, the prevalence genre of non-curative treatment, is probable to rumble in the impending time. The ailment is fiscally very lavish, with a feebly implicit cause. Premature therapeutic of  Alzheimer’s disease is extremely imperative and thus a titanic covenant of deliberation in the growth of novel techniques for prior discovery of the illness. Composite indiscretion of the brain is an insightful characteristic of the disease and one of the largely recognized genetic indications of the malady. Machine learning techniques from deep learning and decision tree, strengthens the ability to learn attributes from high-dimensional statistics and thus facilitates involuntary categorization of Alzheimer’s syndrome. Convinced testing was intended and executed to study the likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease classification, by means of several ways of dimensional diminution and deviations in the origination of the learning task through unusual ideas of integrating therapeutic factions achieved with a variety of machine learning advances. It was experiential that the tree-based learning techniques trained with principal component analysis wrought the superlative upshots analogous to associated exertion.

description: The functional renormalization group (FRG), an established computational method for quantum many-body phenomena, has been subject to a diversification in topical applications, analytic approximations and numerical implementations. Despite significant efforts to accomplish a coherent standard through benchmarks and the reproduction of previous results, no systematic and comprehensive comparison has been provided until now. While this has not prevented the publication of relevant scientific results we argue that established mutual agreement across realizations will strengthen confidence in the method. To this end we report explicit implementational details and numerical data reproduced thrice in independent FRG implementations up to machine accuracy. To substantiate the reproducibility of our calculations we scrutinize pillar FRG results reported in the literature, and discuss our calculations of these reference systems. We mean to entice other groups to reproduce and establish this set of benchmark FRG results thus propagating the joint effort of the FRG community to engage in a shared knowledge repository as a reference standard for FRG implementations.

Year: 2016

description: Due to the small mode volume, high quality factor (Q-factor), and micro- nano- size of optical whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators significant interest in potential applications in physics and engineering for WGM based photonic devices has been generated.  In the past two decades, studies have been conducted demonstrating the capabilities of WGM sensor devices for biological, chemical, pressure, and temperature sensing among other fields.  These studies often demonstrate the high-resolution capabilities of optical WGM micro-sensors, however, the actually sensing device was an independent component in the system it was monitoring.  In the present dissertation, methods for the fabrication of optical WGM sensor onto a region of interest are discussed.  These techniques allow the WGM devices to achieve, for the first time, direct, on-chip, measurement capabilities, allowing them to take full advantage of their small size and high resolution.  In particular, techniques are developed for the fabrication of silica based glasses and polymer based resonator onto an electrical working component.  These fabrication methods allow for both cylindrical annulus and ellipsoid shell geometries with Q-factors as high as 106.  Use of polymers allow for low-cost fabrication of sensors without risking thermal damage to the electronic component.  These devices are also evaluated for potential use as temperature sensors at both room and cryogenic temperature regimes.  The theory for WGM temperature sensitivity is developed to explain the diameter dependence of a dielectric coating on a conductive core.  The design and fabrication of two experimental setups capable of creating controllable temperature environments are discussed.  The first of these setups can be used to create a stable temperature environment at room temperature to 10K above room temperature.  The second setup is designed for WGM testing below 100K.  Within these experimental setups WGM sensors are calibrated in their respective temperature regimes. PDMS is shown to be able to support WGM resonance below 100K for the first time.  The calibrated sensors are also evaluated against both thermocouples and heat transfer theory for the real-time temperature monitoring of the core wire as it undergoes Joule heating.  The performance of the sensor is discussed in detail for both temperature regimes.  Additionally, a preliminary exploration of the potential use of WGM sensors for the temperature monitoring of superconducting wires is performed.

description: We propose a doubly holographic version of the semi-classical island formula for the entanglement negativity in the framework of the defect AdS/BCFT correspondence where the AdS bulk contains a defect conformal matter theory. In this context, we propose a defect extremal surface (DES) formula for computing the entanglement negativity modified by the contribution from the defect matter theory on the end-of-the-world brane. The equivalence of the DES proposal and the semi-classical island formula for the entanglement negativity is demonstrated in AdS$_3$/BCFT$_2$ framework. Furthermore, in the time-dependent AdS$_3$/BCFT$_2$ scenarios involving eternal black holes in the lower dimensional effective description, we investigate the time evolution of the entanglement negativity through the DES and the island formulae and obtain the analogues of the Page curves.

description: This paper addresses the challenge of identifying the paths for vessels with operating routes of repetitive paths, partially repetitive paths, and new paths. We propose a spatial clustering approach for labeling the vessel paths by using only position information. We develop a path clustering framework employing two methods: a distance-based path modeling and a likelihood estimation method. The former enhances the accuracy of path clustering through the integration of unsupervised machine learning techniques, while the latter focuses on likelihood-based path modeling and introduces segmentation for a more detailed analysis. The result findings highlight the superior performance and efficiency of the developed approach, as both methods for clustering vessel paths into five classes achieve a perfect F1-score. The approach aims to offer valuable insights for route planning, ultimately contributing to improving safety and efficiency in maritime transportation.

Dazwischen
Creators: name: Fuchs, Mareen

description: My dissertation, Dazwischen: Between the GDR and a United Germany investigates how Germans, especially the citizens of the former East Germany, come to terms with the history and culture of the GDR in a post-unification context. I examine how the concepts of Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung and Vergangenheitsbewältigung developed in the wake of World War II to describe the struggles involved in coming to terms with the Nazi past were taken over in the immediate aftermath of German unification in 1989. While suggesting certain continuities and similarities between the two periods, the use of these concepts in the post-1989 context tends, in general, to conceal more than it reveals. As a way of addressing this problem and of offering an alternative to prevailing frameworks, I use the term Dazwischen, drawn from a number of works discussed in my dissertation. The novels Das Provisorium by Wolfgang Hilbig, Schlehweins Giraffe by Bernd Schirmer, and Der Zimmerspringbrunnen by Jens Sparschuh, and the film Good Bye, Lenin! by Wolfgang Becker describe how the protagonists, authors and readers from  ii  the former GDR negotiate their new identities in a unified Germany, how they often feel suspended and trapped in this transitional experience, and how they nevertheless use the feeling of being neither here nor there as a "place"  from which to reevaluate and critically analyze their GDR past and unified German present.
Hofmeister series at the liquid/liquid interface
Creators: name: Gao, Xiang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This thesis is a study of the Hofmeister Series, or specific ion effects, at 3 interfaces: a zwitterionic emulsion interface, a gemini surfactant micelle interface and a neat tetradecane/water interface. The goal of this research is to provide new information such as local pH changes and local counterions concentrations to the specific ion effects research at liquid/liquid interfaces, which might help unveil the origin of specific ion effects.  This research utilized a unique chemical probe to study how different ions affect the physical chemical properties of the 3 interfaces. The probe molecule is a long chain amphiphilic arenediazonium ion. In micellar solutions, emulsions and oil/water mixture, the probe associates at the hydrophilic/hydrophobic interfacial region like other amphiphilic molecules do, and then reacts with water molecules and weak nucleophiles to produce corresponding organic products. The yields of products are analyzed by HPLC and used to calculate the interfacial concentrations of ions and water molecules. Using this method we can study the behavior of various ions and molecules at the interfacial region. The background of this method is introduced in Chapter 1.    Chapter 2 describes the specific ion effects on the interfacial pH of an emulsion prepared by a zwitterionic surfactant. The headgroup of SB3-14 has different affinities to different anions and cations, which changes ions density at the interfacial region and accordingly alters interface electronic property as well as the interfacial pH. The interfacial pH change was monitored through measuring the reaction rate between a long chain arenediazonium ion and tÂ¬-butylhydroquinone.   Chapter 3 is a study of specific counterion effects on gemini surfactants (10-2-10 2X) physical properties such as cmc, aggregation number and interfacial counterion molarity. The ions affect micellar solutions properties in the order of Hofmeister Series. By combining physical characterization means and chemical trapping experiments, the correlation between bulky properties and interfacial properties were observed.  Chapter 4 describes the adsorption of different anions onto a neat alkane/water interface. The chemical trapping method was used to probe anions interfacial concentrations at tetradecane/water interface, which were proved to be higher than their bulk concentrations, especially for hydrophobic ions I-, SCN-. Ions adsorption at the interface is supported by other types of experimental and simulation approaches in the literature.

Trace elements in olivine grains from volcanic rocks
Creators: name: Gavrilenko, Maxim
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: My study focused on magmatic evolution in different tectonic settings using mostly olivine, and volcanic whole rock chemistry together with the compositions of the minerals that it hosts, such as pyroxenes, plagioclase, spinel, and magnetite.  Although volcanoes of the spreading centers (e.g. East Pacific Rise) provide the more direct petrological information about the mantle, subduction zone volcanoes are the center of attention on my research. I worked with samples from Kamchatka arc volcanoes (Gorely, Klyuchevskoy, Shiveluch) and from Central America volcanoes (Platanar, Barva, Irazu). However, samples of rocks from a spreading center (Siqueiros Fracture Zone) were also used in my study.  The compositions of incompatible elements in olivine, such as Ca, Mn, Ni, Al, P, and their distribution within the olivine crystal (zoning pattern) provide important petrologic information. The concentration of Ca in olivine is demonstrated to help estimate magmatic water content. The compositions of olivine and coexisting minerals help to evaluate such physical parameters as pressure (Ol-Cpx pair) and temperature (Ol-Sp pair). For instance, the distribution of Al between host olivine and spinel inclusion provides information about crystallization temperature.  In my study I helped to evaluate the depth of sub-crustal magma chamber beneath Klyuchevskoy volcano (Kamchatka). I estimated conditions and contribution of mechanisms of differentiation (such as magma mixing, crustal assimilation, and fractional crystallization) for magma evolution in the different parts of Gorely volcano (Kamchatka). I used experimental and natural olivine compositions in order to calibrate the Ca-in-olivine geohygrometer, which provides magmatic H2O content independently from melt inclusion studies. In addition, I participated in the discovery of "primary"  olivines ("pyrocrysts"), which crystallized in the hottest parts of melting regions (both in subduction zones and in spreading centers).

Wavelet-based software-defined radio receiver design
Creators: name: Ge, Yao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Software-defined radios (SDRs), have become very important in both commercial as well as military applications that demand high Quality of Service (QoS) in hostile physical and spectral conditions. Simultaneously, interoperability with legacy communications equipment is also a critical requirement for widespread adoption. An ideal SDR supports multi-standard, multimode and multiband wireless communications. Such a system is reconfigurable in the sense that transmitted signals at different carrier frequencies and/or different modulation schemes can be reliably identified and appropriately demodulated in real-time. In this dissertation, such a radio system is developed using a wavelet transform-based transceiver platform, composed of four main wavelet-domain processors: Channel Estimator, Channel Equalizer, Automatic Modulation Recognition (AMR) and Demodulator.   The AMR method is blind identification of the modulation scheme used to format digital data embedded in a signal. It is investigated using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in conjunction with techniques typically used in signal processing field of pattern recognition. In particular, the concept of wavelet-domain template matching is used to achieve modulation identification prior to signal demodulation. The digital modulation schemes considered in this work include families of ASK, FSK, PSK and QAM. The test signals used in this study have been subjected to Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) resulting in Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) in the range of -5 dB to 10 dB. Monte Carlo simulations using the wavelet-based AMR algorithms show correct classification rates that are better than most of existing methods that use other techniques  For wavelet-based demodulation original signal information can be directly obtained in the wavelet-domain without an inverse transform of a signal to its original time-domain form, and that has been proven analytically herein. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations have shown that the Bit Error Rates (BERs) obtained from wavelet-based demodulation are very comparable with the optimal case of matched filter-based demodulation.  The results of this work show the ability of wavelet transforms to enable the automatic recognition and subsequent demodulation of communications signals in a single processing sequence by solely using the computationally-friendly mathematics of the Discrete Wavelet Transform.

Endocytic recycling in Caenorhabditis elegans
Creators: name: Gleason, Adenrele Madeline
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The power of conservation is exemplified in the C. elegans intestinal epithelia. As a model to study endocytic recycling, molecular transport regulators have been characterized in this genetically tractable system. In this dissertation, I describe the molecular requirements for Syndpin/SDPN-1 in vivo. Proteoliposome assays confirm that full-length SDPN-1 is capable of tubulating acidic liposomes in vitro. As a likely accessory protein, SDPN-1 coordinates the exit of recycling cargo from the early endosome. I propose that Syndapin/SDPN-1 facilitates this transport step through the localized recruitment of actin to early endosomes. In addition, the worm intestine provides a lucid understanding of the endosomal determinates that coordinate TGFÎ² signaling. We report TGFÎ² signaling and internalization require Clathrin-Dependent Endocytosis (CDE). Furthermore, post internalization of the receptors result in the sorting of the type I and the type II receptors into distinct molecular sorting complexes. Mutants defective in retromer-dependent recycling missort their type I SMA-6 to the lysosome and impair signaling. Alternatively, the type II receptor, DAF-4 (dauer formation defective-4) is returned through the ARF-6 (ADP-ribosylation factor-6) dependent recycling pathway.

The search for a balanced economy
Creators: name: Glock, Earl Ferdinand
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation describes how a movement for economic balance through finance reshaped American capitalism and American government from the Progressive Era through the New Deal. It argues that in the early 20th century, a new political movement declared it the duty of the government to keep all parts and all sectors of the economy in a grand balance with each other, most importantly by supporting cheap financing, especially of mortgages, to those parts that lagged behind. The movement began with the pleas of farmers and bankers for government-supported mortgages, and eventually spread to urban builders and lenders. By the end of the 1930s, the movement had inspired the creation of numerous semi-public enterprises, such as the Federal Land Banks and Fannie Mae, and the extension of government guarantees to supposedly private creditors and lenders. Although the dream of a balanced economy was abandoned, the governmentâ€™s powers to support bankers and financiers became a lasting part of American statecraft.
The role of inducible nitric oxide synthase in macrophage activation following acute lung injury

description: Macrophage origin and activity is complex in response to acute lung injury.  Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has a divergent role in the stages following intratracheal bleomycin mediated lung injury (ITB).  We hypothesize iNOS is necessary for macrophage activation during the inflammatory and resolution phases that follow ITB.  Further, recruited macrophages classically activate during inflammation and resident macrophages alternatively activate during resolution.  To test these hypotheses, iNOS was manipulated via scavenge of products, systemic selective iNOS inhibition and chimeric mice in which particular populations were NOS2-/-.  C57/BL6 mice were intratracheally instilled with bleomycin and samples collected 8 and 15 days following instillation.  This work identified oxidants to promote inflammation during the early stages following ITB.  Systemic iNOS inhibition reduced classical activation of recruited macrophages during inflammation and alternative activation of recruited macrophages during resolution.  Resident macrophage alternative activation was not dependent on iNOS activity.  Chimeric mice demonstrated iNOS of a particular cell population is necessary for macrophage activation.  Classical activation of recruited cells is dependent on recruited cell iNOS.  Early alternative activation is promoted when recruited macrophages were iNOS incompetent.  A pulmonary source of iNOS plays a role in alternative activation during resolution.  This work has demonstrated iNOS is important to classical and alternative activation of macrophages.  The cell population expressing iNOS determines the effect on activation.  The complexity of macrophage populations and effect of iNOS activity on macrophage activation furthers our understanding of the response to ITB and adapted therapeutic approaches have potential for clinical improvement.
Meaning-making as a critical process in educational reform implementation

description: This case study focused on the process through which educators make meaning of the purpose of developing student growth objectives (SGOs) as measures of teaching effectiveness in the first year (2013-2014) of the statewide rollout of the policy in New Jersey. During the same year, two other components of the comprehensive educational reform were launched - the teacher evaluation initiative (part of which is the development of SGOs) and the statewide implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). As educational reform implementation depends on educators’ meaning-making process, the study used a cognitive approach to the study of reform implementation, based on work by Spillane and colleagues (2000, 2002), and explored assumptions of a proposed theory of change, built around the policy’s officially stated outcomes. Data were collected in three separate rounds of interviews with seven 3rd grade teachers and three administrators. Questions addressed multiple aspects of the policy’s mandates, including the nature of collaborative practices, selection of appropriate assessments, and perceptions of the policy’s adequacy in providing valid measures to be used for teacher evaluation purposes. The findings show that teachers and administrators developed distinctly different implementation goals based on their interpretation of the policy’s purpose. Teachers approached the implementation process with the goal of showcasing their teaching talent and obtain high evaluation ratings. Administrators saw the SGO policy as means to boost students’ overall academic performance, and more specifically to improve outcomes on the state’s year-end test. Consistent with findings in other studies of policy implementation, educators adopted mostly form-based interpretations (Spillane and Callahan, 2000, Coburn, 2004) of needed changes. Although teachers and administrators used common language to describe implementation, the meanings they derived differed significantly. Educators also developed rudimentary function-based understandings of the policy’s intent which were suppressed by strong regulatory pressures

description: Aging infrastructures provide challenges in the areas of estimating the capacity of  partially deteriorated structural members and their Rehabilitation to restore their load  carrying capacity. Results presented in this dissertation deals with assessing a  deteriorated prestressed girder of a bridge and a procedure to strengthen the weakened  beam using Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites.  The condition of the prestressed box beam was assessed using load tests. The 46ft  span beam was part of a support system containing of 21 box girders. The test-load truck  was positioned to produce maximum possible moment on the deteriorated girder. All the  box girders were instrumented to measure maximum tensile strain at the bottom surface  of the beam. The strains at various girders were used to determine the fraction of road  carried by the deteriorated girder. Stresses and strains were computed analytically for the  test load and there is a good correlation between measured and computed values.  The second aspect of the dissertation was to formulate a procedure to strengthen  the beam using FRP composites. A fraction of the pre-tensioned wire were corroded and  exposed due to environmental degradation. Carbon Fiber FRP composition repair scheme  iii  was designed assuming zero contribution from the damaged prestressing wires and  assuming complete prestress loss.  In the first scenario, amount of FRP needed to replace both prestressing force and  reinforcement capacity of the damaged wire. In the second scenario, the damaged  prestresing wires were assumed to act as non-prestressed reinforcement.  The results show that load testing provides an excellent tool for assessing  damaged beams and FRP system can be effectively used to restore the capacity of  damaged beams. Commercially available FRP systems were used for obtaining the  necessary parameters for design.

Armenian schwa
Creators: name: Haghverdi, Vartan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Eastern Armenian (EA) has been described as having stress on the final full vowel of a word (i.e., non-schwa) (Dum-Tragut 2009, Hulst 1999, Khachatryan 1988, Vaux 1998), making the language a sonority-driven stress system (Kenstowicz 1994, de Lacy 2004). The phonological evidence involves high vowel reduction in derived environments (Vaux 1998), while the phonetic evidence demonstrates lengthened vowel duration consistent with the sonority-driven stress pattern (Khachatryan 1988). The current study reanalyzes the phonological evidence as motivated independent of stress, and provides evidence from an acoustic analysis that, on the contrary, EA is more accurately analyzed as having a consistently final metrical head.    The study involves a production experiment whose subject is a native EA speaker who read aloud a number of disyllabic CVCVC words in two frame sentences which differed in whether the target was focused. Duration (normalized for speech rate), intensity, F0, and quality (F1/F2) were measured for each target vowel using Praat (Boersma & Weenink 2015) and VoiceSauce (Shue et al 2011). Results were evaluated using standard statistical models (R Core Team 2015).    The finding is that there is no distinction in duration, intensity, and vowel quality between putatively stressed and unstressed vowels. There is, however, a pitch rise over the final syllable. This pitch excursion is analyzed as involving an LH* tonal contour, where the high pitch accent associates with a word-final metrical head. The word-final LH* contour occurs consistently, regardless of vowel quality. Ultimately, the study casts doubt on impressionistic reports of stress, which are possibly tonal or pitch accent systems (see e.g., Gordon 2014).

description: We propose a generalization of the neurotransmitter release model proposed in \emph{Rodrigues et al. (PNAS, 2016)}. We increase the complexity of the underlying slow-fast system by considering a degree-four polynomial as parametrization of the critical manifold. We focus on the possible transient and asymptotic dynamics, exploiting the so-called entry-exit function to describe slow parts of the dynamics. We provide extensive numerical simulations, complemented by numerical bifurcation analysis.
