description: The stability of turfgrass golf green rootzone mixtures depends on the development of a stable microbial community structure.  Factors affecting microbial community development are age of the turfgrass, the location of golf greens, and the amendments added.  The objective of this study was to evaluate methods for assessment of turfgrass rootzone microbial community structure and function and to apply them to field situations.  Methods were identified to evaluate the microbial community in these rootzone mixtures.   Metabolic diversity (BIOLOG), dehydrogenase activity, bacterial plate counts, and phospholipid fatty acid analysis were performed on turfgrass green rootzone mixture samples collected from a bench top study, established golf courses, a greenhouse study, and replicated field plots.The utility of each of the measures of microbial communities in evaluating turfgreen stability varied between the levels of complexitiy of the study (i.e. laboratory vs. greenhouse vs. field situation).  In the bench top study, BIOLOG, dehydrogenase activity, and bacterial plate counts revealed differences in the microbial community as affected by the base material of the rootzone (sand, soil) and rate of peat moss amendment.  In sampling of established golf courses, BIOLOG showed differences in the microbial community, based on age of the rootzone; it was not clear if these differences were due to age or other factors such as management.  In a greenhouse study, BIOLOG showed differences in the microbial community, in rootzones varying by amendement and presence of turfgrass.  Fatty acid data indicated some grouping based on amendment.  Dehydrogenase and bacterial plate counts did not correlate to amendment or presence of turfgrass.  Dehydrogenase did show correlation with bacterial signature fatty acids detected.  A final study evaluated replicate field plots varying by amendment and microclimates.  BIOLOG showed grouping based on microclimate and amendment.  Fatty acid data did not vary based on amendment, yet showed slight, seasonal differences in the microbial community.  Dehydrogenase did show correlation with bacterial fatty acids detected.  This research demonstrated that the selected methods of microbial community activity and function were useful for evaluating rootzone mixtures, although it appears that the specific combination of tests used will depend upon the system examined.

Graph based semi-supervised learning in computer vision

description: Machine learning from previous examples or knowledge is a key element in many image processing and pattern recognition tasks, e.g. clustering, segmentation, stereo matching, optical flow, tracking and object recognition.  Acquiring that knowledge frequently requires human labeling of large data sets, which can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain.  One way to ameliorate this task is to use Semi-supervised Learning (SSL), which combines both labeled and raw data and  incorporates both global consistency (points in the same cluster are likely to have the same label) and local smoothness (nearby points are likely to have the same label). There are a number of vision tasks that can be solved efficiently and accurately using SSL.  SSL has been applied extensively in clustering and image segmentation. In this dissertation, we will show that it is also suitable for stereo matching, optical flow and tracking problems. Our novel algorithm has converted the stereo matching problem into a multi-label semi-supervised learning one. It is similar to a diffusion process, and we will show our approach has a closed-form solution for the multi-label problem. It sparks a new direction from the traditional energy minimization approach, such as Graph Cut or Belief Propagation. The occlusion area is detected using the matching confidence level, and solved with local fitting. Our results have been applied in the Middlebury Stereo database, and are within the top 20 best results in terms of accuracy and is considerably faster than the competing approaches.We have also adapted our algorithm, and demonstrated its performance on optical flow problems. Again, our results are compared with the ground truth and state of the art on the Middlebury Flow database, and its advantages in accuracy as well as speed are demonstrated.The above algorithm is also being used in our current NSF sponsored project, an Automated, Real-Time Identification and Monitoring Instrument for Reef Fish Communities, whose goal is to track and recognize tropical fish, initially in an aquarium and ultimately on a coral reef.  Our approach, which combines background subtraction and optical flow, automatically finds the correct outline of multiple fish species in the field of view, and tracks the contour reliably over consecutive frames. Currently, near real-time results are being achieved, with a processing frame rate of 3-5 fps. The recent progress in semi-supervised learning applied to image segmentation is also briefly reviewed.

Transcriptional and translational regulation of leaf polarity
Creators: name: Huang, Tengbo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Normal biological functions of leaves such as intercepting light and exchanging gases during photosynthesis rely on proper differentiation of adaxial (dorsal)-abaxial (ventral) identity. Although several families of transcriptional and translational regulators have been identified in leaf polarity, their targets and the molecular basis for the regulatory circuitry are largely unknown. KANADI1 (KAN1), a member of the GARP family of transcription factors, is a key regulator of adaxial identity in leaf morphogenesis. The goal of my thesis study is to discover novel players and mechanisms associated with KAN to better elucidate the establishment of leaf polarity. My dissertation investigated the DNA binding specificity of KAN1 both in vitro and in vivo.  In the in vitro assay, I identified the 6 base pair motif GNATA (A/T) that the Myb-like domain in KAN1 recognizes. I also found that KAN1 acts as a transcriptional repressor in vivo and directly regulates several genes implicated in auxin responses and one in gibberellin (GA) metabolism. In addition, I studied in detail a specific target ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2 (AS2), a key promoter of adaxial leaf fate. I demonstrated that KAN1 directly interacts with AS2 and represses its transcription in abaxial cells. Mutation of a single nucleotide in a KAN1 binding motif in the AS2 promoter abolishes KAN1 targeting leading to ectopic expression of AS2 in abaxial cells and conferring a dominant, adaxialized phenotype. These results suggest the significant role of KAN1 in determining abaxial fate and provide novel insights in dissecting the transcriptional network of leaf morphogenesis. In addition to the transcriptional regulation, I also gave my focus to the translational regulation of leaf polarity by characterizing an enhancer of KAN, ARROW1 (ARO1). aro1-1 mutant  shows pleotropic defects in development with significantly reduced overall growth rate that is due to the impaired proliferation of division competent cells in both leaves and roots. It also interacts with mutants of important leaf polarity genes probably by altering their expression timing, which suggests that ARO1 plays significant roles in dorsiventral patterning. I cloned ARO1 and it encodes a protein with a Pumilio/PUF RNA-binding domain. PUF domains have been shown to function in sequence-specific RNA binding and translational inhibition in various organisms. I also found that ARO1 functions specifically in 18S rRNA biosynthesis, a critical step for translational regulation in eukaryotes. These results indicate the importance of the translational network in controlling leaf polarity and provide a novel view for understanding the relationship of growth and leaf patterning, two essential factors responsible for leaf morphogenesis.

description: This study examined the relationships between socio-demographic risk, ecologically based resources and kindergarten readiness skills to investigate if the presence of ecologically based resources increases the likelihood of successful kindergarten readiness skills for disadvantaged children.  An ecological and resilience framework was used to conceptualize that differences in kindergarten readiness can result from differences in resources in the multiple contexts in which the child is nested.  The analysis used existing data from the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99.  The sample used a subset of children who were all first-time kindergarteners without a diagnosed disability (N=14,918). The results of this study found that one or more socio-demographic risks was associated with weaker kindergarten readiness skills, one or more ecologically based resources was associated with stronger kindergarten-readiness skills, and the presence of some ecologically based resources reduced the negative effects of socio-demographic risks on kindergarten readiness skills.  The findings of this study support the notion that kindergarten readiness may be understood as a function of resiliency, rooted in access to a variety of resources at multiple ecological levels.  The implications and recommendations for policy, practice, theory building and research are discussed.

description: Anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale Manns sensu lato Crouch, Clarke, and Hillman) has become a devastating disease of annual bluegrass [Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hausskn) T. Koyama] putting green turf over the past 15 years. Factors responsible for the increased incidence and severity of anthracnose epiphytotics are not well understood, although speculation has focused on the influence of cultural practices on this disease. Six field trials were conducted from 2003 to 2007 to evaluate effects of cultural practices on anthracnose severity of annual bluegrass putting green turf in factorial arrangements. Nitrogen fertilization, mowing height and topdressing practices provided the most consistent and greatest influence on disease. Nitrogen applied from May through September at 4.9 kg ha-1 every 7 d reduced anthracnose severity 5 to 24% compared to the same rate applied every 28 d. Mowing at 3.6 mm reduced disease 3 to 21% compared to 2.8 mm, while 3.2 mm had intermediate disease severity. Mowing frequency (7 vs. 14 times wk-1) had little effect on anthracnose. Sand topdressing applied every 7 d at 0.3 L m-2 and 14 d at 0.6 L m-2 reduced anthracnose severity compared to no topdressing or similar rates applied less often, although greater rates applied less often (i.e., 21 d at 1.2 Lm-2) provided comparable results. Topdressing with sub-angular sand occasionally reduced anthracnose more than rounded sand. Lightweight rolling every other day reduced disease severity 5 to 6% under moderate disease pressure. The plant growth regulators trinexapac-ethyl, mefluidide and ethephon had inconsistent effects on anthracnose severity; however these materials typically did not increase disease and in some cases reduced it. For example, the combination of 7 d N fertilization, mefluidide and trinexapac-ethyl application occasionally reduced disease more than each factor alone. Also, trinexapac-ethyl applied at shorter intervals (7 vs. 14 d) and increased rate (0.08 vs. 0.05 kg a.i. ha-1) reduced anthracnose when disease severity was high. Cultural practices that may wound turf (e.g., verticutting and brushing) had little effect on anthracnose. These results provide the foundation for the development of best management practices to minimize anthracnose severity of annual bluegrass putting green turf.
Improving the speed and accuracy of indoor localization

description: Advances in technology have enabled a large number of computing devices to communicate wirelessly. In addition, radio waves, which are the primary means of transmitting data in wireless communication, can be used to localize devices in the 2D and 3D space. As a result there has been an increasing number of applications that rely on the availability of device location. Many systems have been developed to provide location estimates indoors, where Global Positioning System (GPS) devices do not work. However, localization indoors faces many challenges. First, a localization system should use as little extra hardware as possible, should work on any wireless device with very little or no modification, and localization latency should be small. Also, wireless signals indoors suffer from environmental effects like reflection, diffraction and scattering, making signal characterization with respect to location difficult. Moreover, many algorithms require detailed profiling of the environment, making the systems hard to deploy. This thesis addresses some of the aforementioned issues for localization systems that rely on radio properties like Received Signal Strength (RSS). The advantage of these systems is that they reuse the existing communication infrastructure, rather than necessitating the deployment of specialized hardware. Specifically, we improved the latency of a particular localization method that relies on Bayesian Networks (BNs). This method has the advantage of requiring a small size of training data, can localize many devices simultaneously, and some versions of BNs can localize without requiring the knowledge of the locations where signal strength properties are collected. We proposed Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms and evaluated their performance by introducing a metric which we call relative accuracy.We reduced latency by identifying MCMC methods that improve the relative accuracy to solutions returned by existing statistical packages in as little time as possible. In addition, we parallelized the MCMC process to improve latency when localizing devices whose number is on the order of hundreds. Finally, since wireless transmission is heavily affected by the physical environment indoors, we investigated the impact of using multiple antennas on the performance of various localization algorithms. We showed that deploying low-cost antennas at fixed locations can improve the accuracy and stability of localization algorithms indoors.

description: Η παρούσα ερευνητική έχει σκοπό να εξετάσει αν η ψηφιακή επανάσταση φέρει χωρικές αλλαγές στις υποδομές και υπηρεσίες υγείας αναδεικνύοντας πιθανές νέες αναδυόμενες τυπολογίες. Αρχικά, αναλύεται η ιστορική εξέλιξη των υποδομών υγείας ανά τους αιώνες προκειμένου να εξηγηθεί η μετάβαση από τη μη ύπαρξη χώρων ειδικά διαμορφωμένων ως υποδομές υγείας στη διαμόρφωση των υποδομών υγείας πριν την ψηφιακή επανάσταση. Αργότερα, γίνεται μία ανάλυση για το πως έχουν εξελιχθεί οι υποδομές υγείας και οι τυπολογίες τους, από τον 19ου αιώνα μέχρι και σήμερα. Στην συνέχεια, παρατίθενται εκτενέστερα τα αρχιτεκτονικά τους στοιχεία. Στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο, γίνεται μία προσπάθεια να ενταχθεί ομαλά ο αναγνώστης στην έννοια της ψηφιακής υγείας. Δίνεται η έννοια, η μέχρι τώρα πορεία της και αναλύεται μέσω επεξηγηματικού υλικού, στατιστικών και παραδειγμάτων, η χρησιμότητα της στην σημερινή εποχή. Ακόμα, εξετάζεται η αλλαγή που μπορεί να επέλθει, στην υπάρχουσα κατάσταση τόσο των υποδομών υγείας, όσο και των υπηρεσιών που αυτές παρέχουν, λόγω της ψηφιακής επανάστασης και της εξάπλωσης του e-health σε όλο τον κόσμο. Τέλος, τεκμηριώνεται πως η αλλαγή του τρόπου σκέψης από τον αναλογικό στον ψηφιακό κόσμο ξεπερνάει τα όρια της υγείας χωρικά και επηρεάζει το κοινωνικό, πολιτικό, αρχιτεκτονικό και πολεοδομικό κομμάτι στον τομέα της υγείας.
description: The following paper presents the impact that the evolution of technology has in the field of medicine and in particular in the field of health care in hospitals and health services and analyzes these changes in the wheel of time. This paper highlights and analyzes a new trend in healthcare, which is digital health, and may drastically affect it in the coming years. First of all, the historical development of health infrastructure over the centuries is analyzed in order to explain the transition from the non-existence of buildings specifically designed as health infrastructure to the development of health infrastructure as we know it before the digital revolution. Later, an analysis is made about how health infrastructures and their typologies have evolved from the 19th century to the present. Their architectural elements are listed in more detail. In the last chapter, an attempt is made to integrate the reader into the concept of digital health. The concept is given, its development so far and its usefulness in today's world is analyzed through explanatory material, statistics and examples. It also examines the change that can occur in the current state of both health infrastructure and the services they provide, due to the digital revolution and the spread of e-health around the world. At last, it is documented that the change in thinking from the analogue to the digital world goes beyond the boundaries of health spatially and affects the social, political, architectural and urban planning aspects of health.

description: Wireless mobile ad hoc network is a infrastructureless network where each network node not only acts as a host but also acts as a router. Since the nodes are mobile,the environment is highly dynamic. For these networks to function properly a routing protocol is required that can respond to the rapid changes in the topology. Manyrouting protocols have been developed for accomplishing this task. The objective of this thesis is to study the impact of mobility on the performance of two mobile routing protocols, AODV, which is reactive routing protocol and OLSR, which is proactive routing protocol. Since not many MANETs have been deployed, most of the studies are simulation based. But for this thesis, experiments were conducted on national Open Access Research Testbed (ORBIT) for Next Generation Wireless Networks. We developed a basic framework to analyze the performance of routing protocols. We firstly evaluated the performance in a static environment where nodes are arranged in static linear topology and concluded that OLSR outperformed AODV. To study the mobility, we used Reference Point Group Mobility model that generates real life scenarios. It isclear that there is considerable cost associated with mobility. Both the protocols show decrease in throughput, higher standard deviation, more dead links and higher overhead when compared to their respective performance in static environment. However, the relative performance of AODV and OLSR depends on the mobility scenario. AODV performed better than OLSR for discrete scenario when time snapshots were taken at a lower frequency i.e. every 30 seconds. On the other hand, OLSR performed better in pseudo-continuous scenario when time snapshots were taken at higher frequency i.e. every 5 seconds.

Impact of neighborhood discovering and adaptive sampling in wireless sensor networks

description: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks characterized by a dense deployment of sensor nodes. Because of the dense deployment, sensors can make interference when exchanging data messages. Besides these data messages, in location-based routing that uses geographical positions to route messages, there is a Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NDP). It should periodically broadcast "Hello" packets to discover neighboring nodes and maintain routing tables updated. This is due to the uncertainty of the wireless environment such as varying radio interference and mobility. Due to the overhead caused by these periodic broadcasts from many nodes in certain radio range, however, NDP may heavily impact on the performance of the routing scheme itself, which in turn could affect end-to-end performance. Although this is an important and challenging problem in WSNs, this impact and the associated tradeoffs have not been fully explored in the literature. Hence, in the first half of this thesis, an analytical and experimental study is conducted to determine how parameters such as power and transmission frequency of neighborhood discovery packets affect the communication process in static and mobile environments. In addition, WSNs are used to monitor and reliably estimate a phenomenon from the collective information provided by its constituent sensor nodes. Due to the high density of the sensor nodes, the data obtained from them are usually correlated in both space and time. Adaptive sampling is a method that employs this spatio-temporal correlation inherent in WSNs to obtain an energy-efficient estimate of the field. In the second half of this thesis, a distributed, hierarchical, cluster-based adaptive sampling framework is proposed using multiple manifestations for field estimation in three-dimensional environment. Nodes sensing highly correlated values in space are grouped to form clusters and these clusters are modified based on variation in sensor data over time. Energy efficiency is achieved through minimization of communication costs by restricting data communication to the local domain (within clusters) and by applying sleep mode. Moreover, a phenomenon is more reliably captured by using multiple manifestations than by using a single manifestation. It ensures joint optimization by adaptively varying the sampling rates in both space and time domains.
Tocopherol stability in controlled release packaging films

description: Increasing the shelf-life of packaged foods is of great interest to the food science community. Controlled release packaging (CRP) materials have been developed that are capable of releasing protective compounds (antioxidants, antimicrobials) into the food at rates suitable for long term protection. While the technical challenges of development have been met, FDA approval must be granted before these materials can be used commercially. One critical step in the FDA approval process for food contact materials is to ensure that no toxic products are formed during processing, and that sufficient levels of the added compound are retained to provide the stated functionality.    Tocopherol was chosen as an active compound for incorporation into CRP films as it is a natural, potent antioxidant with positive consumer recognition as Vitamin E. It has been used at low levels as a polymer stabilizer, with no problematic degradation reported. Tocopherol containing films were produced by cast film extrusion of LDPE, PP and a 50:50 blend of these polymers. Multiple extrusion conditions were chosen within standard processing parameters to apply varying degrees of thermal and mechanical stress on the polymer melt. Resulting films were analyzed for their physical properties, recoverable tocopherol, volatile and non-volatile degradation products, as well as antioxidant activity assays. This study showed that tocopherol recovery is high (92-100%) for all polymer compositions and processing methods, but greatest loss was seen in PP films subjected to high shear. GC-MS analysis shows only polymer additives, with no volatile degradation products formed from tocopherol. A reduction in the level of polymer volatiles was also noted. Analysis by LC-MS has provided tentative identification of two tocopherol dimers and tocoquinone, all previously documented degradation products of tocopherol. Little variation was observed between different processing methods. Antioxidant assays demonstrate that extracts from the tocopherol containing films exhibit as much, or greater antioxidant activity as unprocessed mixed tocopherols.While further work remains to confirm the identities of the products identified and provide accurate quantification, this research supports the safety and antioxidant effectiveness of tocopherol containing extruded polymer films.

Evolution and systematics of Chelonanthus (Gentianaceae)
Creators: name: Lepis, Katherine Burke
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Chelonanthus is a widespread and common neotropical angiosperm genus in the tribe Helieae (Gentianaceae), a group known for its high morphological and ethnobotanical diversity. This genus has been riddled with taxonomic confusion for the last 150 years, and this is the first detailed study ever published on its morphology, evolution, and speciation. Molecular and morphology-based phylogenies of the tribe Helieae reveal a polyphyletic condition with Chelonanthus divided into two strongly separated lineages, one containing the purple-flowered type species Chelonanthus purpurascens and the other containing all other species, which have green to white corollas. This green-white corolla clade contains the most common and widespread species, Chelonanthus alatus, a polyphyletic species complex composed of six morphological variants. This dissertation sampled all recognized species of Chelonanthus as well as all morphological variation found in Chelonanthus alatus. The analytical tools of phylogenetics (Parsimony and Bayesian Analyses) and morphometrics (Principle Component Analysis) were combined to resolve inter- and intra-generic relationships between Chelonanthus and closely related genera of Helieae as well as define species boundaries within the species complex of Chelonanthus alatus. The presented phylogeny, based on 5S-NTS and ITS data, together with a Principle Component Analysis of morphological characters, supports the need to recircumscribe and rename this polyphyletic genus and segregate four of the six morphotypes of Chelonanthus alatus as four segregate species. Two new species will be described, Chelonanthus hamatus found in the Guayana Highlands of French Guiana and Venezuela and Chelonanthus pterocaulis found in Central America, Trinidad and northeastern South America from Costa Rica to French Guiana. Two typified names associated with the Chelonanthus alatus species complex, Chelonanthus acutangulus and Chelonanthus grandiflorus also will be resurrected. In addition, a new species of the previously monotypic genus Sipapoantha (Helieae) will be described from northeastern Brazil. The new knowledge of this group was included in the floristic treatments of Chelonanthus for the Flora of the Guianas and the Catalogue of Vascular Plants of Bolivia.
Target(s) of transcriptional regulators ppGpp and DksA

description: Bacterial RNA polymerase is a highly regulated enzyme, altering the metabolic and functional state of bacteria in response to their environment. rRNA synthesis is a major metabolic expense and is, thus, highly regulated. One such response is the ppGpp-induced stringent response which changes the metabolic state of the cell, particularly inhibiting rRNA synthesis. ppGpp, guanosine tetraphosphate, is produced rapidly during amino acid starvation. ppGpp acts along with an accessory molecule, a protein DksA. The mechanism and binding site of ppGpp/DksA remains unclear and disputed. The objective of this study is to determine the binding site of ppGpp and DksA and understand the mechanism by which they regulate the cell's metabolic state. The strategy is to randomly mutagenize RNAP genes, specifically rpoC which codes for β' subunit, and perform genetic screens to identify mutants resistant to toxic effects of ppGpp/DksA. The mutants were isolated, sequenced, tested and characterized by in vivo and in vitro assays. The mutants isolated in this study belong to two distinct clusters: the switch region, which controls the opening and closing of active center clamp allowing dsDNA entry, and the secondary channel, which is the channel through which NTP substrates enter. The mutants in the switch region could imply a conformational determinant for ppGpp/DksA. The secondary channel mutants could be binding/conformational determinants for ppGpp/DksA. The in vitro results indicate that two mutants in the secondary channel interact with DksA which could confirm DksA?s putative binding site.
