The Effects Of Visual Perturbations And Anxiety On Cortical Activity During Gait
Creators: name: Casselton, Charlotte
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Introduction: Anxiety is induced by a perceived threatening situation and can impair the decision-making ability and maintenance of attention on relevant stimuli. The pre-frontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in anxiety through the multiple network theory however, the PFC’s role in anxiety is poorly understood. Implementing visual perturbations increases PFC activity due to increased attentional demands, which is observed in younger adults. Due to increased attentional processes produced from visual perturbations, cortical activity can be altered.
Methods: Twenty healthy young adults performed three treadmill walking tasks, without visual cues, with visual cues and with perturbations. Cortical activity was recorded with a 22-channel, 18 optode fNIRS cap (Dual Brite MKII; Artinis Medical Systems, Netherlands). Anxiety measurements included the state-trait anxiety inventory (Spielberger et al., 1971) and heart rate variability (polar hear rate monitor). A Friedman rank sum test was performed to determine differences observed in heart rate variability RMSSD (HrvRMSSD) and mean oxyhemoglobin concentration change, among gait conditions. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to determine effects of trait anxiety on HrvRMSSD for gait conditions. Spearman rank correlations where ran between anxiety measures and PFC activity.
Results: No significant condition effect on mean oxyhemoglobin concentration change (χ2 = 3.9, p = 0.14) was found. There was a significant condition effect for HrvRMSSD (χ2 = 17.2, p < 0.001). Post hoc analysis showed a significant decrease between baseline and stepping (p = 0.003, r = 0.17) and baseline and stepping varied (p = 0.02, r = 0.24). No significant trait anxiety effects found on HrvRMSSD during baseline (p = 0.15), stepping (p=0.20) and stepping varied (p=0.08), between low and moderate trait anxiety. No correlations were found between anxiety measures and PFC activity.
Significance: The present experiment shows that PFC activity does not alter in young adults between a gait and visually perturbed gait. Further, we observed no significant change in PFC activity when anxiety, measured by HrvRMSSD, increased with gait condition difficulty. These results did not support our hypotheses, but the results will help inform protocol decisions of future investigations.

description: This project combines two separate data sources from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the data reports are called the Business Employment Dynamics and Quarterly Census Employment and Wages. The Business Employment Dynamic data is derived from the Covered Employment and Wages Program, also known as the ES-202 program. This program is the quarterly census of all establishments under State unemployment insurance programs, representing about 98 percent of employment on nonfarm payrolls. The data include all establishments subject to the State
 unemployment insurance (UI) laws and Federal agencies subject to the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program. Major exclusions from UI coverage are the self-employed workers, religious organizations, most agricultural workers on small farms, members of the Armed Forces and certain small nonprofit organizations. QCEW publishes every NAICS industry for the more than 3,000 counties in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as every MSA, every state, and the nation. I used the annual average summary tables, as this database is large, and I wanted these annual averages to compliment the dynamic change data from the Business Employment Dynamic data, to provide more well-rounded analysis. When the data is one to one, QCEW ties to the BED as far as the net change presented in the Business Employment Dynamic is equal to the net change year over year in the QCEW report. With this information and knowing that they both use the NACIS industry definition I was able to combine the data along industry and state lines.

description: Applications ranging from algorithmic trading to scientific data analysis require realtime analytics based on views over databases that change at very high rates. Such views have to be kept fresh at low maintenance cost and latencies. At the same time, these views have to support classical SQL, rather than window semantics, to enable applications that combine current with aged or historical data. In this paper, we present viewlet transforms, a recursive finite differencing technique applied to queries. The viewlet transform materializes a query and a set of its higher-order deltas as views. These views support each other's incremental maintenance, leading to a reduced overall view maintenance cost. The viewlet transform of a query admits efficient evaluation, the elimination of certain expensive query operations, and aggressive parallelization. We develop viewlet transforms into a workable query execution technique, present a heuristic and cost-based optimization framework, and report on experiments with a prototype dynamic data management system that combines viewlet transforms with an optimizing compilation technique. The system supports tens of thousands of complete view refreshes a second for a wide range of queries.

description: We examine the thermodynamic properties of recently constructed black hole solutions in SL(3,R) x SL(3,R) Chern-Simons theory in the presence of a chemical potential for spin-3 charge, which acts as an irrelevant deformation of the dual CFT with W_3 x W_3 symmetry. The smoothness or holonomy conditions admit four branches of solutions describing a flow between two AdS_3 backgrounds corresponding to two different CFTs. The dominant branch at low temperatures, connected to the BTZ black hole, merges smoothly with a thermodynamically unstable branch and disappears at higher temperatures. We confirm that the UV region of the flow satisfies the Ward identities of a CFT with W_3^(2) x W_3^(2) symmetry deformed by a spin-3/2 current. This allows to identify the precise map between UV and IR thermodynamic variables. We find that the high temperature regime is dominated by a black hole branch whose thermodynamics can only be consistently inferred with reference to this W_3^(2) x W_3^(2) CFT.

description: The data source for this analysis comes from the United States EPA, that has sensors all over the United States that has been collecting data over the last two decades from 1999 - 2019. The data tracks the levels of four major pollutants, ground level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. It is important to have a basic understanding of each of these pollutants to interpret and understand the analysis: Ground level ozone, also known as tropospheric ozone, is not emitted from any industrial process. It is created through chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen realized from emission of cars, power plants, or refineries with volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. Ozone can be harmful to people’s health particularly at risk people with asthma, children, and elder adults. It can cause chest pain, coughing, and throat irritation. Nitrogen dioxide, is a nitrogen oxide that is released from burning fuel from vehicle and power plant emissions. Health effects from high concentrations can cause irritation in the respiratory system. Long term exposure can cause the development of asthma and increase the possibility of respiratory infections. Extended concentration of Nitrogen dioxide also can cause nitrate haze clouds, and acid rain as visual environmental effects. Carbon monoxide is another gas emitted when something is burned, generally emitted from vehicles that burn fossil fuels, but also unvented heating oil or leaking gas stoves also can release carbon monoxide indoors. Carbon monoxide in high concentrations reduces the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood stream, causing dizziness, confusion, unconsciousness and death. This is not likely to happen outdoors, but high levels of carbon monoxide outdoors are a concern for people with some types of heart disease. Sulfur dioxide is another gas emitted from the burning of fossil fuels generally from power and industrial plants. It can cause harm to the respiratory system and make breathing difficult. It also in high concentrations can cause harm to tress, and plants, and decreasing forestry growth, while also reacting with other particles in the air forming haze clouds. Each of these pollutants when measured get assigned an Air Quality Index score (AQI) that indicates its harmfulness to people’s health. Below I have a chart for reference as how to interpret the AQI as this is the main metric will be looking at during this analysis.

description: We consider the projection of null geodesics of the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini metric in n+1 dimensions to the space of orbits of the static Killing vector where the motion of a given light ray is seen to lie in a plane. The projected curves coincide with the unparametrised geodesics of optical 2-metrics and can be equally understood as describing the motion of a non-relativistic particle in a central force. We consider a duality between the projected null curves for pairs of values of n and interpret its mathematical meaning in terms of the optical 2-metrics. The metrics are not projectively equivalent but the correspondence can be exposed in terms of a third order differential equation. We also explore the extension of this notion of duality to the Reissner-Nordstrom case.

description: In laying hen farms, birds’ feet are exposed to prolonged contact with soil, litter, housing equipment such as wire floors or bad designed perches, pecking by conspecific, and may develop lesions. These foot lesions, linked to several factors, can cause discomfort and/or pain to the animals and may lead to mortality. Although well assessed on farm, foot lesions could also be observed after slaughter to assess laying hens’ welfare on-farm and the quality of their housing conditions. This factsheet details a scoring system to assess foot lesions, bumble foot and injured toes.

description: Excerpts from the report: This report describes the development and evaluation of improved packages, packing materials, and master containers for fresh peaches. The study on which this report is based is part of a broad program of marketing research to hold down marketing costs and to deliver better farm products to the consumers. The purpose of this study was to maximize the sale of peaches and returns to the grower by shipping the fruit in a "family" of different containers. Package differentiation permits the marketing of peaches in containers most suitable for particular sizes or qualities, and most profitable in particular segments of the consuming market. The prices received for any one type of package are not as important as getting the highest average price for the whole crop of peaches.

description: We present the results of a time-series analysis of 130 echelle spectra of epsilon Ori (B0 Ia), acquired over seven observing seasons between 1998 and 2006 at Ritter Observatory. The equivalent widths of Halpha (net) and He I 5876 were measured and radial velocities were obtained from the central absorption of He I 5876. Temporal variance spectra (TVS) revealed significant wind variability in both Halpha and He I 5876. The He I TVS have a double-peaked profile consistent with radial velocity oscillations. A periodicity search was carried out on the equivalent width and radial velocity data, as well as on wavelength-binned spectra. This analysis has revealed several periods in the variability with time scales of 2-7 d. Many of these periods exhibit sinusoidal modulation in the associated phase diagrams. Several of these periods were present in both Halpha and He I, indicating a possible connection between the wind and the photosphere. Due to the harmonic nature of these periods, stellar pulsations may be the origin of some of the observed variability. Periods on the order of the rotational period were also detected in the He I line in the 98-99 season and in both lines during the 04-05 season. These periods may indicate rotational modulation due to structure in the wind.

Translating Gender and Sexuality in The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiaobo
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

This thesis project is comprised of a partial Chinese translation of The Awakening, a translator’s introduction in Chinese for Chinese readers, and an accompanying critical analysis for my translation. My Chinese translation is guided by feminist translation theory. Its central ideas are that translations should expose and redress gender-based prejudices, challenge and subvert male-dominated linguistic and cultural systems, and promote gender equality in cross-cultural communications.
The Awakening is a pioneering feminist novel written by the American author Kate Chopin and published in 1899. It centers on protagonist Edna Pontellier’s gradual departure from her socially conventional roles as a mother and wife and her unfolding awakening to her individuality and sexuality in the late Victorian era. My partial Chinese translation focuses on the gender and sexuality-related excerpts in the novel, which include the depictions of the female body, the Victorian patriarchy, the inner emotions of the protagonist, and the intimacy and sexuality displayed between the protagonist and the male characters in the novel. The translator’s introduction aims to introduce Chinese readers to Kate Chopin and her works and explain the translation interventions I have made in my translation. The accompanying critical analysis discusses my translation approaches and the decision-making process to foreground the feminist themes and convey them to the Chinese readership while preserving the language texture of an English novel from the 19th century in its Chinese rendition.

Sucrose Concentration and Fermentation Temperature Impact the Sensory Characteristics and Liking of Kombucha
Creators: name: Cohen, Gil
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage consumed for its probiotics and functional properties and has a unique sensory profile driven by the properties of tea polyphenols and fermentation products, including organic acids. Fermentation temperature and sucrose content affect the fermentation process and the production of organic acids, yet less is known about the impact on the sensory profile and consumer acceptance. Thus, we aim to examine the impact of sucrose concentration and fermentation temperature on sensory attributes and liking. For this study, kombucha tea was fermented at three different concentrations of sucrose and fermented at two temperatures for 11 days. Fermentation was monitored by pH, brix, and titratable acidity, and consumers (n=104) evaluated the kombucha for sensory attributes and overall liking. Fermentation temperature resulted in significant differences in titratable acidity, with higher temperatures producing more organic acids, resulting in higher astringency, and suppressed sweetness. The lower fermentation was reported as significantly more liked, with no difference in liking between the 7.5% and 10% sucrose kombucha samples. Overall, sucrose concentration had less of an impact on overall liking, and the sensory profile and fermentation temperature, which drives the fermentation rate and production of organic acids, strongly influenced the sensory profile.

description: The electronic transport properties of epitaxial monolayer graphene (MLG) and hydrogen-intercalated quasi free-standing bilayer graphene (QFBLG) on SiC(0001) are investigated by micro multi-point probes. Using a probe with 12 contacts, we perform four-point probe measurements with the possibility to effectively vary the contact spacing over more than one order of magnitude, allowing us to establish that the transport is purely two-dimensional. Combined with the carrier density obtained by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we find the room temperature mobility of MLG to be (870+-120)cm2/Vs. The transport in QFBLG is also found to be two-dimensional with a mobility of (1600+-160) cm2/Vs.

Not All Numbers Were Created Equal: Evidence the Number One is Unique
Creators: name: Croteau, Jenna L
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Universally across modern cultures children acquire the meaning of the words one, two, and three in order. While much research has focused on how children acquire this knowledge and what this knowledge represents, the question of why children learn numbers in order has been comparatively neglected. To address this question, a non-verbal anticipatory looking task was implemented. In this task, 35 14- to 23-month-old infants were assessed on their ability to form implicit category structures for the numbers one, two, and three. We hypothesized that children would be able to form the implicit category structure for the number one but not for two or three because sets of two and three objects would exceed the working memory capacities of infants. We found results consistent with this hypothesis; infants (regardless of age) were able form a category for sets with one object, as evidenced by their looking behavior while the looking behavior for the numbers two and three did not demonstrate a statistically significant pattern. We interpret our results as consistent with our hypothesis and discuss implications for parallel individuation, number acquisition theories, and the development of working memory resources.

Loads Analysis of Fixed-Bottom and Floating Offshore Wind Structures
Creators: name: Davis, Michael G
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Offshore wind in the United States is a rapidly growing industry. The development of both fixed bottom and floating platforms is important for the success of the industry. While monopiles are common substructures in Europe, the Atlantic Coast has a much greater risk for hurricanes. It is necessary to understand how extreme weather events will impact the structures. Meanwhile, floating offshore wind will be key for offshore wind development along the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, and Gulf of Maine. Before these projects can come to fruition, the cost of development must first decrease. A taut mooring system with multiline anchors may be able to reduce costs, specifically when deployed in deep water locations. This thesis considers these concerns for both the fixed bottom and floating wind developments.
A parametric study is completed using OpenFAST for a variety of mooring systems. A taut multiline mooring system is designed for water depths ranging from 850 to 2000 meters. Further 850-meter designs explore how changing line properties impact the mooring line and multiline loading. Using these mooring designs, preliminary suction anchors are designed, focusing on the potential savings of decreasing the number of anchor installations from 3 single line anchors per turbine to 1 multiline anchor per turbine. Anchors are designed for a range of soil conditions to observe their impacts on anchor dimensions.
For monopile design, four Atlantic Coast wind developments are chosen for design of monopiles at each site, using 50-year and 500-year storm conditions in the design process. These monopiles are designed using primarily hand calculations, with the assistance of OpenFAST to create a hub thrust power curve. The loads are then used to design monopile for a constant diameter and thickness from the transition piece to the mudline. The constant diameter monopiles are compared to a design that was complete for fatigue loading. In general, the fatigue loaded monopiles were required to be much larger, providing capacities larger than the monopiles designed for extreme storm conditions.

As applications, we get already known as well as new examples of inherently nonfinitely based involutory semigroups. We also show that for finite regular semigroups, our condition is not only sufficient but also necessary for the property of being inherently nonfinitely based to persist. This leads to an algorithmic description of regular inherently nonfinitely based involutory semigroups.

description: We calculate the lifetime of both the o-Ps and the p-Ps positronium annihilation decay $ Ps\toγγ$ in the strong circular polarized laser field. We take a strategy of the factorization to separate the effects caused by the Coulomb interaction and the strong laser field interaction. It is factorized in the time direction but not in the space direction. Our results show that in the laser with long wavelength and high intensity, the lifetimes of those Ps states are dramatically increased. For $\rm CO_2$ laser with $10\, μm$ wavelength and $10^{13} W/cm^2$ intensity, lifetime of the spin-single positronium is increased by $10^8$ times. Our result is consistent with those obtained by solving the Sch{ö}dinger equation. This effect may be useful for the high harmonic generation(HHG) effects provided with the Ps\cite{keitel2004}.

description: Due to their real time nature, microblog streams are a rich source of dynamic information, for example, about emerging events. Existing techniques for discovering such events from a microblog stream in real time (such as Twitter trending topics), have several lacunae when used for discovering emerging events; extant graph based event detection techniques are not practical in microblog settings due to their complexity; and conventional techniques, which have been developed for blogs, web-pages, etc., involving the use of keyword search, are only useful for finding information about known events. Hence, in this paper, we present techniques to discover events that are unraveling in microblog message streams in real time so that such events can be reported as soon as they occur. We model the problem as discovering dense clusters in highly dynamic graphs. Despite many recent advances in graph analysis, ours is the first technique to identify dense clusters in massive and highly dynamic graphs in real time. Given the characteristics of microblog streams, in order to find clusters without missing any events, we propose and exploit a novel graph property which we call short-cycle property. Our algorithms find these clusters efficiently in spite of rapid changes to the microblog streams. Further we present a novel ranking function to identify the important events. Besides proving the correctness of our algorithms we show their practical utility by evaluating them using real world microblog data. These demonstrate our technique's ability to discover, with high precision and recall, emerging events in high intensity data streams in real time. Many recent web applications create data which can be represented as massive dynamic graphs. Our technique can be easily extended to discover, in real time, interesting patterns in such graphs.

The Discovery of a Novel Bacteria from a Large Co-assembly of Metagenomes
Creators: name: Finkelberg, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

In the summer of 2022, a co-assembly of metagenome was created using the microbes found at Barres Woods in Harvard Forest. 14 samples were taken, and sample was split into the organic and mineral layer, which totals 28 Bulk MAGs. Within this Co-assembly, 4 different genomes were found which were designated with the phylum of FCPU426. Three of which were considered medium quality and one being assigned high quality. The novel phyla first appeared in NCBI and GTDB databases in June 2018. The name FCPU426 dates to 2010 and was named based on the 16s amplicon sequencing.
The novel phylum is shown to have common ancestors with the phyla of Goldbacteria and Firestonebacteria. Goldbacteria was determined to have the ability to break down cellulose to further enhance carbon cycling.
In this analysis of FCPU426, the taxonomy of the phyla will be further investigated. FCPU426 was then annotated to determine if any of the cellulase genes are shared between itself and Goldbacteria. Further annotations were done to spot any genes of interest that create any distinctions between any of its counterparts.

description: Resonant absorption cyclotron features are a key diagnostic tool to directly measure the strength of the magnetic field of accreting neutron stars. However, typical values for cyclotron features lie in the high-energy part of the spectrum between 20 keV and 50 keV, where detection is often damped by the low statistics from single pointed observations. We show that long-term monitoring campaign performed with Swift-BAT of persistently, but faint, accreting high-mass X-ray binaries is able to reveal in their spectra the presence of cyclotron features. We extracted the average Swift-BAT 15-150 keV spectrum from the 54 months long Swift-BAT survey of the high-mass X-ray source IGR J16493-4348. To constrain the broadband spectrum we used soft X-ray spectra from Swift-XRT and Suzaku pointed observations. We model the spectra using a set of phenomenological models usually adopted to describe the energy spectrum of accreting high-mass X-ray binaries; irrespective of the models we used, we found significant improvements in the spectral fits adding to the models a broad (10 keV width) absorption feature, with best-fitting energy estimate between 30 and 33 keV, that we interpret as evidence for a resonant cyclotron absorption feature. We also discuss instrumental issues related to the use of Swift-BAT for this kind of studies and the statistical method to weight the confidence level of this detection. Correcting for the gravitational redshift of a 1.4 M$_{\sun}$ neutron star, the inferred surface magnetic field is Bsurf 3.7 x 10^{12} Gauss. The spectral parameters of IGR J16493-4348 fit well with empirical correlations observed when the whole sample of high-mass binaries with detected cyclotron features is considered.

description: The use of both broad clinical and trauma-specific screening instruments is a crucial component of identification of trauma symptomatology and treatment planning in trauma-focused treatment. The current study sought to gather evidence of the CBCL along with an established trauma-specific rating instrument as a variable for concurrent validity within an MTMM. The data helped to evaluate whether the correlations from the CBCL scores converged with the correlations from the TSCs scores for the depression and anxiety constructs. The study included 67 participants, who were children and adolescents that previously sought treatment in the Rutgers University Foster Care Counseling Project (FCCP). The caregiver-raters were biological parents, adoptive parents, and caseworkers from the New Jersey Department of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P). Prior to treatment, participants were administered a set of measures, the age-appropriate versions of the CBCL and TSCs, to assess for trauma symptomatology. Results indicated that the correlations yielded poor evidence of convergent validity of the constructs measuring depression and anxiety. This finding was also detected within the conditional probability analyses for the scores of the scales, which were low. The procedures are outlined, and key findings are highlighted. The psychometric properties of the CBCL and TSCs measures, as well as previous validity studies, are reviewed. Limitations of the current study and implications for practice are also discussed.

This thesis explores the design of a net-zero community center and apartment complex within the Geneva Cliffs Site in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The project aims to create a sustainable and energy-efficient development that meets the needs of the surrounding community while preserving the historical and industrial heritage of the site. The research delves into various aspects of the design process, including architectural considerations, renewable energy systems, community engagement, and environmental impact. The architectural design focuses on integrating innovative sustainable strategies and materials to achieve net-zero energy performance. Key elements include the utilization of Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) for enhanced thermal insulation and soundproofing, as well as other sustainable construction materials such as Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and locally sourced reclaimed wood. The building design also incorporates energy-efficient windows, advanced HVAC systems, and solar photovoltaic panels to generate renewable energy on-site. Community engagement plays a crucial role in the project, with an emphasis on stakeholder participation and feedback throughout the design process. By involving residents, local organizations, and government officials, the community center and apartment complex are designed to address the specific needs and aspirations of the community. Multi-purpose spaces, meeting rooms, recreational facilities, arts and cultural spaces, childcare facilities, and technology access areas are incorporated to promote social interaction, education, and community engagement. To assess the project's environmental impact, a comprehensive analysis is conducted, including site analysis, solar potential assessment, and life cycle assessments. The findings inform decision-making in terms of site selection, building orientation, and the incorporation of sustainable technologies and practices. The project aims to minimize environmental impact, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance the overall resilience of the development to climate change.
Through the integration of sustainable design principles, community engagement, and thorough environmental analysis, this thesis presents a comprehensive approach to the design of a net-zero community center and apartment complex within the Geneva Cliffs Site in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The research contributes to the fields of sustainable architecture, community development, and urban planning, providing insights and strategies for creating environmentally conscious and community-centric developments that can serve as models for future projects.

description: We calculate accurate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation for a two-dimensional quantum dipole. This model proved useful for the study of elastic effects of a single edge dislocation. We show that the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method with a basis set of Slater-type functions is considerably more efficient than the same approach with the basis set of point-spectrum eigenfunctions of the two-dimensional hydrogen atom used in earlier calculations.
