Heightened otherness and domestic terrorism

description: Research on the relationship between economic discrimination and terrorism has been inconclusive; theory and empirics support claims of both a positive and a negative relationship. This research attempts to further clarify the relationship by admitting that the relationship is conditional and, therefore, affected by other variables, one of which is group concentration. I argue that group concentration has an effect on the experience of discrimination in terms of the access to and cost of knowledge of the ``other" group: the lower the group concentration, the lower the cost of information pertaining to the ``other" group and, therefore, the easier it is to make more reliable comparisons. In these scenarios, the experience of discrimination becomes more salient and more likely to precipitate calls for domestic terrorism. Conversely, where group concentration is high, the cost of information in regards to the ``other" group is also high, distorting the experience of discrimination, and subsequently muffling any calls for domestic terrorism. I use data from the Global Terrorism Database and the Minorities at Risk project to create a series of interaction terms to test the conditionality of the relationship of certain discriminatory policies and group concentration on domestic terrorism incidences. This research finds that when discrimination is high and group concentration is low, domestic terrorism does, indeed, increase. Robustness checks are run with alternate measures of discrimination from both the Ethnic Power Relations Dataset and the Cingranelli-Richards Human Rights Data Project.

Molecular evolution and phylogenetics of circular single-stranded DNA viruses
Creators: name: Seah, Yee Mey

Year: 2015

description: Viruses infect a wide variety of hosts across all domains of life. Despite their ubiquity, and a long history of virus research, fundamental questions such as what constitutes a virus species, and how viruses evolve and are modeled, have yet to be adequately answered. We compared viral sequences across five genomic architectures (single- and double-stranded DNA and RNA) and demonstrate the presence of substitution bias, especially in single-stranded viruses. Most striking is a consistent pattern of over-represented cytosine-to- thymine substitutions in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses. This led us to question the validity of using time-reversible nucleotide substitution models in viral phylogenetic inference, as these models assume equal rates of forward and reverse substitutions. We found that an unrestricted substitution model fit the data better for most single- and double-stranded viral datasets, as measured by corrected Akaike Information Criterion, and hierarchical likelihood ratio test scores. We also approached the question of virus species identification by examining members of the most species-rich viral genus Begomovirus (Family Geminiviridae), which are circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viral crop pathogens transmitted by whitefly vectors. We used novel sweet potato-infecting begomoviruses (sweepoviruses) collected during a recent vector-enabled metagenomic survey to evaluate the concept of pairwise percent nucleotide identity threshold as a criterion for species demarcation. We demonstrate that species demarcation based on pairwise percent nucleotide identities group divergent sweepovirus clusters together, and is highly influenced by when, and how much sampling occurs.

Multi-objective generation expansion planning considering uncertainty and modeling with the Pareto Uncertainty Index
Creators: name: Selçuklu, Saltuk Buğra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Many real life optimization problems are multi-objective problems where objectives under consideration usually conflict with each other and they are also stochastic due to inherent uncertainties. The electricity Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) problem is an example of such problems in which the goal is to expand the electric power network with new power plant investments including renewable resources. Decisions are made where and when to build new power plants and which technology to choose for new investments. Objectives can include but are not limited to minimization of the cost and pollutant emissions and maximization of reliability. There are inherent uncertainties in the GEP problem due to climate change, demand increase, fuel prices, technological progress and many other aspects that have to be considered. Some of these uncertainties directly affect the objective functions and some affect the constraint sets in the optimization model.   In this study, a new uncertainty metric, the Pareto Uncertainty Index (PUI), is presented. The PUI includes uncertainty as part of the Pareto optimality concept so that the decision or policy maker can observe the uncertainty of Pareto optimal solutions. Using the PUI approach for objective function uncertainties and chance constrained programming or scenarios for constraint set uncertainties, a new multi-objective stochastic genetic algorithm, the Pareto Uncertain Genetic Algorithm (PUGA), is presented in this research, as well. In contrast with the other multi-objective genetic algorithms and classical methods, PUGA can incorporate both the multi-objective and stochastic aspects of problem solving without any transformation. A new post-Pareto pruning approach that reduces the number of Pareto optimal solutions to a smaller practical set is also included in PUGA with the help of the uncertainty information preserved in the PUI. Furthermore, this uncertainty information is used for risk assessments of solutions depending on the risk preferences of decision makers. The PUI and PUGA concepts are demonstrated and tested on several problems including the US Northeast region generation expansion planning (NEGEP) problem.

The role of peripheral position uncertainty in overt visual search
Creators: name: Semizer, Yelda
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Uncertainty regarding the position of the search target is a fundamental component of visual search. This position uncertainty can be either extrinsic (EPU)–uncertainty regarding where a stimulus might appear, or intrinsic (IPU)–uncertainty regarding the distal source of the perceived stimulus. Previous measurements indicate that IPU increases approximately linearly with retinal eccentricity and that it accounts for impaired detection and localization performance in the periphery (Michel & Geisler, 2011). Our aim in the current project was to characterize the role of IPU in overt visual search and to determine whether it is a limiting factor in search performance. Human observers completed two tasks. First, the observers completed a detection task to measure sensitivity to the target as a function of visual field position. Then, they completed a search task, which required localization of the target signal within a noisy environment. Observers were allowed to make a maximum of six fixations. To examine the effect of IPU, two different experimental conditions were created. In the “cluttered” condition, the display was tiled uniformly with feature clutter (in the form of 1/f noise) to maximize the effect of IPU. In the “uncluttered” condition, the clutter at irrelevant locations was removed to decrease the effect of IPU. The amount of EPU was also manipulated across conditions. We developed a constrained ideal searcher model, in which the searcher is limited by IPU measured for human observers. Individual ideal searchers were simulated for each human observer using the sensitivity measured in the detection task and the fixations sequences measured in the search task. Introducing IPU to the ideal  searcher impaired overall overt search performance, but not uniformly. In the “uncluttered” condition, performance decreased steeply as a function of increasing EPU. However, in the “cluttered” condition, the effect of IPU dominated and performance flattened as a function of EPU. Measured performance for human searchers showed similar trends. Our findings suggest IPU as a limiting factor in overt search performance.

Discerning the mechanisms of coexistence between marine cren/thaumarchaea and marine bacteria via stable isotope probing
Creators: name: Seyler, Lauren Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Marine mesophilic archaea were discovered two decades ago. However, the role of these culture-resistant organisms in marine nutrient cycling and the nature of their relationship with bacteria have yet to be elucidated. Current thinking is that thaumarchaea may dominate ammonia oxidation in sediments and oxygen minimum zones, based on the ubiquity of archaeal ammmonium monooxygenase genes. Yet, ammonia-oxidation (or other forms of autotrophy/mixotrophy) may only represent a subset of the full metabolic capability of the phylum. The purpose of this Ph.D. research was to assess whether estuary and marine archaea are autotrophic or heterotrophic and if they compete with bacteria for the same electron donors and acceptors. Salt marsh sediments from a New Jersey state park were screened for heterotrophy using stable isotope probing, by amending with a single 13C-labeled compound (acetate, glycine, or urea), a complex 13C-biopolymer (lipids, proteins, or growth medium), or autotrophy using 13C-bicarbonate. 13C-labeled DNA was analyzed by TRFLP analysis of 16S rRNA genes. SIP analyses indicated salt marsh thaumarchaea and crenarchaea are heterotrophic, double within 2–3 days and often compete with heterotrophic bacteria for the same organic substrates. A clone library of 13C-amplicons was screened to find matches to the 13C-TRFLP peaks. Some of these archaea displayed a preference for particular carbon sources, whereas others incorporated nearly every 13C-substrate provided. Resource partitioning of proteins, and urea at low concentrations, was also observed. SIP was also performed in the open waters of the Sargasso Sea at multiple depths and latitudes, using 13C-labeled acetate, urea, and bicarbonate. In this environment, mixotrophy appeared to be the dominant metabolic strategy, though some heterotrophic OTUs (operational taxonomic units) were observed. No exclusively autotrophic OTUs were detected. Urea was also a competitive substrate in deep waters, with archaea outcompeting bacteria for its uptake in the majority of microcosms. Archaea-specific and bacteria-specific predators were detected via incorporation of 13C into eukaryotic OTUs. This research demonstrates the significance of organic carbon uptake and selective predation on the structuring of marine archaeal communities.
Contrastiveness is an Epiphenomenon of Constraint Ranking
Creators: name: Kirchner, Robert
Publisher: name: UC Berkeley Press
Year: 1995

description: In rule-based phonology, the theory of representations was guided by the Jakobsonian view that phonetic properties which not contrastive in any language are excluded from the inventory of phonological features, so as not to predict unattested contrasts. In Optmality Theory, however, it can be demonstrated that the contrastive or predictable status of features in a sound system is determined by the ranking of feature-specific faithfulness constraints w.r.t. constraints which restrict the distribution of those features. Universally non-contrastive features simply lack a corresponding faithfulness constraint. Therefore, the phonological representation may in principle contain an unlimited amount of phonetic detail, including gradient distinctions, without thereby expanding the range of contrasts available to UG (and one of the principal motivations for a distinct phonetic component of the grammar is thereby removed). Furthermore, following Ohala (1983, 1990), Steriade (1994), and Jun (1995), I show that there is empirical justification for phonetic enrichment of phonological representations, taking as an illustrative case the duration of voiced and voiceless stops and its role in spirantization.
Nanomaterial-based approaches for advancing neurotechnologies
Creators: name: Shah, Shreyas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The human brain is a phenomenal ‘organic machine’, comprised of an intricate network of tens of billions of neurons dispersed in a milieu of chemical and biochemical constituents. While remarkable advances have been made to better understand how the brain works and how to overcome neural deficits resulting from degenerative diseases, traumatic injuries and cancer, the inherent complexity makes it difficult to fully comprehend, modulate and repair. This is partly due to challenges in developing advanced tools to effectively probe and interface with neural cells and tissue. Yet, given that the biomolecular interactions and chemical communication in the brain occur at the nanoscale, there is great potential in leveraging advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology to address pertinent challenges in neuroscience.     This doctoral dissertation will focus on the rational design and characterization of nanomaterial-based approaches for applications in neural regeneration, neural drug delivery and neural modulation. The reproducible control of chemical reactions and advanced nanochemistry can enable the generation of a variety of nanomaterials and nanostructures with well-defined compositions, shapes and properties. The first portion of this dissertation describes the control of neural cell fate by the delivery of chemical factors through the soluble microenvironment. This was achieved by the synthesis of a multifunctional polymeric nanocarrier, designed to facilitate the simultaneous delivery of distinct functional factors in the form of small molecules and RNA-based biomolecules. Moving from the soluble microenvironment in which cells are immersed to the underlying substrate, cells can sense and consequently respond to the physical microenvironment in which they reside. The next part of the dissertation describes the control of neural cell shape and behavior by modifying the surface chemistry on two-dimensional surfaces. These surfaces, consisting of immobilized extracellular matrix proteins and/or nanomaterials, were observed to direct neuronal differentiation and extension. The final portion of the dissertation describes how the abovementioned approaches were further advanced to generate three-dimensional nano-scaffolds. By introducing specialized synthetic nanomaterials into biomaterial scaffolds, these multifunctional hybrid nano-scaffolds were utilized to selectively guide neural cell fate, to achieve remotely-controlled drug release and to modulate neural activity. Overall, nanomaterial-based approaches offer the precise physical and chemical control to design tools suitable for advancing neuroscience research.

Notes — Fritsch et al. (2008) treated Gaultheria longibracteolata as a synonym of G. discolor and this treatment is followed here. In addition to G. discolor, Kress et al. 2003 listed Diplycosia discolor as a distinct species but the latter is a homotypic synonym of G. discolor.
The specimens from Kayin state have leaves that are smaller than normal for G. discolor and appear disjunct to the south from the main range of the species. The label of one of the two specimens of S. Kurz 429 from CAL (CAL0000081067) has the name “ Gaultheria punctata DC. var. pygmaea,” which apparently was never published. Examination by P.W.F. of the C. Parish s.n. specimen from K revealed no taxonomically significant differences from the Himalayan specimens of G. discolor, although there was only one poor-quality flower and one fruit on the specimen. The collection of more and better material from Kayin state might provide more information in this regard.

description: Wetlands provide crucial ecosystem functions that aid water security, stormwater management, and biodiversity conservation. However, the underlying mechanisms that influence headwater wetlands in urban landscapes are poorly understood. Further, biodiversity loss may reduce ecosystem function and increase the transmission risk for some enzootic diseases, such as West Nile virus (WNV). My research aimed to: 1) assess wetland vegetation structure and the importance of fragment size and landscape position on biodiversity; 2) test the importance of flooding conditions for mitigating invasive plant dominance in forested wetlands using Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) as my study system; and 3) identify relationships between vegetation structure, fragment size, and the relative abundance of competent avian WNV hosts and mosquito vectors. I used a combination of measurative and experimental research methods to address these objectives, the third of which was part of a collaborative interdisciplinary research grant. Vegetation structure was measured in 36 plots located in six forested wetlands and data loggers were used to monitor aboveground flooding. Avian and mosquito research teams coordinated  iii  with my sampling points. My results illustrate the capacity for urban headwater wetlands to support a diverse flora, as well as the complex interactions between human activities and wetland structure and function. Red maple, oak, sweetgum, and green ash were the dominant tree species. Half of the 287 plant species identified only occurred at 1-2 sample points. Groundcover composition reflected the confluence of hydrogeomorphology, and past and present human actions. Connectivity via nearby streams or ditches had a greater impact on exotic plant richness than did wetland patch size. Aboveground flooding prior to seedling emergence significantly reduced the distribution of Japanese stiltgrass. Avian species richness was positively correlated with plant richness. In contrast, mosquito richness was negatively correlated to plant richness. WNV hosts and vector abundance both increased with maple (Acer spp.) tree canopy dominance. Cumulative host abundance averaged 24% and was composed primarily of American Robin, which showed large interannual shifts in fragments <15 ha. The relative abundance of competent vectors ranged from 5 to 26% and their populations demonstrated less interannual variation than were observed in the host populations.

description: This thesis presents the evaluation of edge cloud service scenarios with Application Specific Routing (ASR) in the network. Edge cloud service is a computing service provided by decentralized servers which reside at the edge of the network and provide services to client devices in the local area. By being in close proximity to end users, there is a reduction in latency that may provide improved Quality of Experience (QoE). The edge cloud provides services to Internet of Things (IoT) or Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), such as, mobile phones, sensors, vehicles and augmented reality using devices  like Google glass, which host real time applications and require quick response. This work evaluates the performance of such edge cloud services for mobile users in the MobilityFirst (MF) architectural framework.    The Hadoop open source cloud software framework has been used in this study for parallel and distributed processing of jobs at the edge cloud site. The performance of Hadoop has been benchmarked for different network scenarios by varying the link quality: bandwidth and latency. Results show that both link parameters and edge cloud performance have a significant impact on the response time for a client’s cloud service request. Hence, this work uses both these metrics in making routing decisions to improve end users QoE with help of Virtual Network (VN) capabilities. VN on MF enables specification of customized network topologies and routing algorithms for specific application scenarios such as cloud service. ASR is one such routing algorithm that makes path selection based on application specific parameters that affect end users’ QoE such as the link and edge cloud performance metrics. The link performance metric incorporates bandwidth and latency in the link from client to the edge cloud. The edge cloud performance metric on the other hand captures the average job completion time  at the edge cloud site which gives a sense of the workload, the number of nodes and the processing capability of the cluster. With the aid of ASR on MF VN, the best edge cloud site for a client’s request is chosen with the objective to minimizing the overall response time.    Evaluation of users’ QoE for edge cloud services was performed on the ORBIT testbed by replicating cloud services on multiple edge cloud sites. Workload was induced at each of these sites to control the job completion time and link quality is varied to affect the link performance. Response time for a client’s request is evaluated using ASR and also using the basic anycast service in MF, for performance comparison. While anycast always chooses the nearest edge cloud, ASR provides the best response  time by either choosing a lightly loaded cluster or by choosing a high quality link or a combination of both, and therefore provides a better QoE to the end user.

description: For high-energy cosmic-ray physics, it is imperative to determine the mass and energy of the cosmic ray that initiated the air shower in the atmosphere. This information can be extracted from the longitudinal profile of the air shower. In radio-metric observations, this profile is customarily determined through an extensive fitting procedure where calculated radio intensity is fitted to data. Beamforming the measured signals offers a promising alternative to bypass the cumbersome fitting procedure and to determine the longitudinal profile directly. Finite aperture effects in beamforming hamper the resolution with which this profile can be determined. We present a comprehensive investigation of the beamforming resolution in radiometric observations of air showers. There are two, principally different, approaches possible in air-shower beamforming, one where the total beamforming intensity is determined and an alternative where the beamforming trace is cross-correlated with a known response function. The effects due to a finite aperture (size of antenna array and bandwidth) are large for both approaches. We argue that it is possible to correct for the aperture corrections using an unfolding procedure. We give an explicit expression for the folding function, the kernel. Being able to calculate the folding function allows for unfolding the finite aperture effects from the data. We show that, in a model-to-model comparison, this allows for an accurate reconstruction of the current profile as the shower develops in the atmosphere. We present also an example where we reconstruct the longitudinal current profile of a shower developing under thunderstorm conditions where the atmospheric electric fields greatly alter the orientation of the transverse current in the shower front.
Negotiating governance

description: This dissertation contains information about how decentralization and spatially delimited zones have been used to govern China’s economic transformation and in what way these experiences challenge traditional debates on states and decentralization. For over three decades, decentralization has been the most significant government restructuring activity worldwide, intended to achieve development and democracy through dissolving power to local levels. However, previous works on decentralization and federalism rely on a central assumption: the fixity of a structure with unchanged boundaries of authority. The chief goal is to create a fixed structure with power and tasks (i.e., federalism) to achieve societal benefits. Not much attention has been paid to the bargaining process that keeps the authority boundaries fluid. Agamben (2011) revealed, in The Kingdom and the Glory, that governance can only exist as the unity of divergence and convergence of power. Based on this concept of a bipolar governance machine, I develop a theoretical framework that explains how intergovernmental negotiation produces different developmental paths at the subnational level. Through a close and fine-grained case comparison of the planning process of three development zones in two regions (Binhai New Area in Tianjin, Guangzhou Development Zone, and Nansha New Area in Guangzhou), I explore two questions: How does intergovernmental negotiation function as a mechanism of governance? How are paths of development differentiated by the forms of collaborative relationships? In this study, I analyze these zones as platforms for intergovernmental contestations, instead of using the conventional approach of seeing zones as examples of successful policy implementation. The theoretical framework that developed from this study can open a new window to examine multiscalar, multilevel competitive and collaborative intergovernmental interactions. This paper contributes to converting the “China story” into richer Chinese stories and also provides examples of instruments and governance structures in Chinese planning today. It also provides wider theoretical and practical relevance to spatially delimited economic zones in other countries and contains questions that challenge the theoretical understanding of the role of planning in international development.
Electronically cloaked nanoparticles

description: The concept of electronic cloaking is to design objects invisible to conduction electrons. The approach of electronic cloaking has been recently suggested to design invisible nanoparticle dopants with electronic scattering cross section smaller than 1% of the physical cross section (πa^2), and therefore to enhance the carrier mobility of bulk materials. The proposed nanoparticles have core-shell structures. The dopants are incorporated inside the core, while the shell layer serves both as a spacer to separate the charge carriers from their parent atoms and as a cloaking shell to minimize the scattering cross section of the electrons from the ionized nanoparticles. Thermoelectric materials are usually highly doped to have enough carrier density. Using invisible dopants could achieve larger thermoelectric power factors by enhancing the electronic mobility. Core-shell nanoparticles show an advantage over one-layer nanoparticles, which are proposed in three-dimensional modulation doping. However designing such nanoparticles is not easy as there are too many parameters to be considered. This thesis first shows an approach to design hollow nanoparticles by applying constrains on variables. In the second part, a simple mapping approach is introduced where one can identify possible core-shell particles by comparing the dimensionless parameters of chosen materials with provided maps. In both parts of this work, several designs with realistic materials were made and proven to achieve electronic cloaking. Improvement in the thermoelectric power factor compared to the traditional impurity doping method was demonstrated in several cases.
