description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In marine ecosystems, environmental drivers such as water temperature, salinity, and primary production affect the growth, fecundity, and recruitment of larval and adult fish. Global climate changes could mean changing environmental drivers and habitats for these populations. To better understand these changes, and the natural variation in an area, researchers first need to know the long-term average character of these environments. While satellites provide excellent temporal and spatial coverage, they are limited in the water depths and variables that they can collect. Likewise, while over 50 years of in situ sampling and monitoring data exist for many of these same areas, they are not always available in a form that can be easily or immediatelyapplied

description: The manufacturing and production industry is on the verge of a transformation to intelligent networking of machines and processes with the help of information and communication technology, known as Industry 4.0. Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs) play a central role in this transformation as they offer flexibility and resilience. In CPPS engineering, teams from multiple domains work simultaneously and iteratively on a variety of assets to design and build CPPS, or parts of it. The focus of this thesis lies on multi-domain CPPS engineering, where experts from different domains work together. This thesis addresses the challenges of Multi-domain Change Impact Analysis (M-CIA) of technical changes throughout the CPPS lifecycle. The challenges of such change impact analysis include the exchange between stakeholders from different domains, the high complexity of integration, and implicit and scattered production knowledge. The thesis applies the design science methodology and builds on agile change management workflows and existing software engineering approaches. The thesis 1) presents the results of an expert survey, 2) identifies challenges of M-CIA in existing environments 3) designs and validates the M-CIA method and a supporting system design. The results are validated with a feasibility and a case study with the help of a system prototype. The evaluation results of the method and the system design show that the solution approach is feasible. An increase in efficiency and perceived improvement are determined through a case study with an industry partner. The proposed M-CIA method utilizes established Dev- and GitOps practices in software development to facilitate and automate multi-domain change impact analysis in CPPS. The M-CIA method and system design enable practitioners and researchers to improve the coordination of multi-domain change impact analysis in the CPPS environment. In doing so, it facilitates cross-domain stakeholder exchange, centralization of production knowledge, and integration of domain-specific perspectives on their production system, thus preventing costly and late adjustments.

description: The study of chemically peculiar (CP) stars in open clusters provides valuable information about their evolutionary status. Their detection can be performed using the $Δa$ photometric system, which maps a characteristic flux depression at $λ\sim 5200$ Å. This paper aims at studying the occurrence of CP stars in the earliest stages of evolution of a stellar population by applying this technique to Hogg 16, a very young Galactic open cluster (about 25 Myr). We identified several peculiar candidates: two B-type stars with a negative $Δa$ index (CD-60 4701, CPD-60 4706) are likely emission-line (Be) stars, even though spectral measurements are necessary for a proper classification of the second one; a third object (CD-60 4703), identified as a Be candidate in literature, appears to be a background B-type supergiant with no significant $Δa$ index, which does not rule out the possibility that it is indeed peculiar as the normality line of $Δa$ for supergiants has not been studied in detail yet. A fourth object (CD-60 4699) appears to be a magnetic CP star of 8 M$_\odot$, but obtained spectral data seem to rule out this hypothesis. Three more magnetic CP star candidates are found in the domain of early F-type stars. One is a probable nonmember and close to the border of significance, but the other two are probably pre-main sequence cluster objects. This is very promising, as it can lead to very strong constraints to the diffusion theory. Finally, we derived the fundamental parameters of Hogg 16 and provide for the first time an estimate of its metal content.

description: Gravitational wave astronomy is a rapidly growing field of modern astrophysics, with observations being made frequently by the LIGO detectors. Gravitational wave signals are often extremely weak and the data from the detectors, such as LIGO, is contaminated with non-Gaussian and non-stationary noise, often containing transient disturbances which can obscure real signals. Traditional denoising methods, such as principal component analysis and dictionary learning, are not optimal for dealing with this non-Gaussian noise, especially for low signal-to-noise ratio gravitational wave signals. Furthermore, these methods are computationally expensive on large datasets. To overcome these issues, we apply state-of-the-art signal processing techniques, based on recent groundbreaking advancements in deep learning, to denoise gravitational wave signals embedded either in Gaussian noise or in real LIGO noise. We introduce SMTDAE, a Staired Multi-Timestep Denoising Autoencoder, based on sequence-to-sequence bi-directional Long-Short-Term-Memory recurrent neural networks. We demonstrate the advantages of using our unsupervised deep learning approach and show that, after training only using simulated Gaussian noise, SMTDAE achieves superior recovery performance for gravitational wave signals embedded in real non-Gaussian LIGO noise.

description: Antibiotic contamination can result in not only the ecotoxicity but also the antibiotic resistance in the aquatic environment. To characterize the antibiotic resistance risk and ecological risk in coastal waters, water samples were collected from the coastal area of the Bohai Bay during two seasons. The resistance risks were evaluated using the risk quotient (RQ) method based on the predicted no effect concentration for the development of antibiotic resistance. The ecological risk characteristics of antibiotics were assessed based on the species sensitivity distribution. The values of resistance RQ ranged from 6.7 × 10−5 to 5.3 × 10−1, while the values of ecological RQ ranged from 9.7 × 10−5 to 1.7 × 101. The results demonstrated that the resistance risk were slightly lower than the ecological risk in coastal waters of the Bohai Bay. Both the highest resistance risk and ecological risk were caused by fluoroquinolone antibiotics and tetracycline antibiotics. Despite the low concentrations, fluoroquinolone antibiotics exhibited the highest risk to aquatic organisms. Additionally, compared with other coastal areas in China, the resistance risks of antibiotics were relatively higher in coastal waters of the South China Sea and the Bohai Bay, implying the serious problem of the coastal pollution.

description: Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a destructive disease of wheat in the USA and fungicides have been used to manage the disease. However, it is not clear whether Pst has developed resistance to the commonly used fungicides. In this study, historical and recent Pst isolates were tested for sensitivity to Tilt, a propiconazole demethylation inhibitor fungicide, and Headline, a pyraclostrobin quinone outside inhibitor fungicide. Both Tilt and Headline at their labelled full concentration completely prevented urediniospore germination of all tested isolates. However, differences in germination rate among Pst isolates were observed at reduced fungicide concentrations. In the infection tests of both seedlings and adult plants, the full labelled concentration of either fungicide applied at the same day as inoculation with Pst completely prevented sporulation, but differences in rust sporulation or disease severity were observed among isolates at some reduced fungicide concentrations, or at the same full concentration applied either one day before or 3 or 7 days after inoculation. Thus, the fungicides are still effective for managing stripe rust at the full concentrations, but differences in sensitivity exist among Pst isolates. The results provide the technique and baseline for continually monitoring Pst populations for changes in fungicide sensitivity.
The Effect of Formation Redshifts on the Cluster Mass-Temperature Relation

description: I employ an ensemble of hydrodynamical simulations and the XSPEC MEKAL emission model to reproduce observable spectral and flux-weighted temperatures for 24 clusters. Each cluster is imaged at 16 points in its history, which allows the investigation of evolutionary effects on the mass-temperature relation. In the zero redshift scaling relations, I find no evidence for a relationship between cluster temperature and formation epoch for those clusters which acquired 75% of their final mass since a redshift of 0.6. This result holds for both observable and intrinsic intracluster medium temperatures, and implies that halo formation epochs are not an important variable in analysis of observable cluster temperature functions.

A general construction procedure for orthonormal bases of unitaries, involving Latin Squares and complex Hadamard Matrices is also presented.

description: We consider the dynamics of a two-dimensional ordinary differential equation exhibiting a Hopf bifurcation subject to additive white noise and identify three dynamical phases: (I) a random attractor with uniform synchronisation of trajectories, (II) a random attractor with non-uniform synchronisation of trajectories and (III) a random attractor without synchronisation of trajectories. The random attractors in phases (I) and (II) are random equilibrium points with negative Lyapunov exponents while in phase (III) there is a so-called random strange attractor with positive Lyapunov exponent. We analyse the occurrence of the different dynamical phases as a function of the linear stability of the origin (deterministic Hopf bifurcation parameter) and shear (ampitude-phase coupling parameter). We show that small shear implies synchronisation and obtain that synchronisation cannot be uniform in the absence of linear stability at the origin or in the presence of sufficiently strong shear. We provide numerical results in support of a conjecture that irrespective of the linear stability of the origin, there is a critical strength of the shear at which the system dynamics loses synchronisation and enters phase (III).

description: We apply the technique of convex integration to obtain non-uniqueness and existence results for power-law fluids, in dimension d >= 3. For the power index q below the compactness threshold, i.e. q ∈ (1, 2d/d+2), we show ill-posedness of Leray–Hopf solutions. For a wider class of indices q ∈ (1, 3d+2/d+2) we show ill-posedness of distributional (non-Leray–Hopf) solutions, extending the seminal paper of Buckmaster & Vicol [10]. In this wider class we also construct non-unique solutions for every datum in L²

description: I introduce a simple mathematical method to calculate the associative strengths of stimuli in
many models of associative learning, without solving the models’ learning equations and without
simulating the learning process. The method applies to many models, including the Rescorla and
Wagner (1972) model, the replaced elements model of Brandon et al. (2000), and Pearce’s (1987)
configural model. I illustrate the method by calculating the predictions of these three models in
summation and blocking experiments, allowing for a degree of similarity between the training
stimuli as well as for the effects of contextual stimuli. The method clarifies the models’ predictions
and suggests new empirical tests.

description: New colorless electroweak (EW) charged spin-1 particles with mass of a few TeV arise in numerous extensions of the Standard Model (SM). Decays of such a vector into a pair of SM particles, either fermions or EW bosons, are well studied. Many of these models have an additional scalar, which can lead to (and even dominate in certain parameter regions) a novel decay channel for the heavy vector particles instead - into a SM EW boson and the scalar, which subsequently decays into a SM EW boson pair. In this work, we focus on the scalar being relatively heavy, roughly factor of two lighter than the vector particles, rendering its decay products well separated. Such a cascade decay results in a final state with three isolated bosons. We argue that for this "triboson" signal the existing diboson searches are not quite optimal due to combinatorial ambiguity for three identical bosons, and in addition, due to a relatively small signal cross-section determined by the heaviness of the decaying vector particle. In order to isolate the signal, we demonstrate that tagging all three bosons, followed by use of the full triboson invariant mass distribution as well as that of appropriate subsets of dibosons, is well motivated. We develop these general strategies in detail within the context of a specific class of models that are based on extensions of the standard warped extra-dimensional scenario. We also point out that a similar analysis would apply to models with an enlarged EW gauge sector in four dimensions, even if they involve a different Lorentz structure for the relevant couplings.
How to measure CMB polarization power spectra without losing information

description: We present a method for measuring CMB polarization power spectra given incomplete sky coverage and test it with simulated examples such as Boomerang 2001 and MAP. By augmenting the quadratic estimator method with an additional step, we find that the E and B power spectra can be effectively disentangled on angular scales substantially smaller than the width of the sky patch in the narrowest direction. We find that the basic quadratic and maximum-likelihood methods display a unneccesary sensitivity to systematic errors when T-E cross-correlation is involved, and show how this problem can be eliminated at negligible cost in increased error bars. We also test numerically the widely used approximation that sample variance scales inversely with sky coverage, and find it to be an excellent approximation on scales substantially smaller than the sky patch.

Welcher Weg Experiments and the Orthodox Bohr's Complementarity Principle

description: In its most orthodox form, Bohr's Complementarity Principle states that a quanton (a quantum system consisting of a Boson or Fermion) can either behave as a particle or as wave, but never simultaneosuly as both. A less orthodox interpretation of this Principle is the ``duality condition'' embodied in a mathematical inequality due to Englert [B-G Englert, Phys. Rev. Lett., Vol. 77, 2154 (1996)] which allows wave and particle attributes to co-exist, but postulates that a stronger manifestation of the particle nature leads to a weaker manifestation of the wave nature and vice versa. In this Letter, we show that some recent {\it welcher weg} ("which path") experiments in interferometers and similar set-ups, that claim to have validated, or invalidated, the Complementarity Principle, actually shed no light on the orthodox interpretation. They may have instead validated the weaker duality condition, but even that is not completely obvious. We propose simple modifications to these experiments which we believe can test the orthodox Complementarity Principle and also shed light on the nature of wavefunction collapse and quantum erasure.

The Focal L-band Array for the Green Bank Telescope (FLAG) is one of the most sensitive PAFs developed so far. It consists of 19 dual-polarization elements mounted on a prime focus dewar resulting in seven beams on the sky. Its unprecedented system temperature of$\sim$17 K will lead to a 3 fold increase in pulsar survey speeds as compared to contemporary single pixel feeds. Early science observations were conducted in a recently concluded commissioning phase of the FLAG where we clearly demonstrated its science capabilities. We observed a selection of normal and millisecond pulsars and detected giant pulses from PSR B1937+21.

description: The faster light-curve evolution of low-luminosity Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) suggests that they could result from the explosion of white dwarf (WD) progenitors below the Chandrasekhar mass ($M_{\rm Ch}$). Here we present 1D non-LTE time-dependent radiative transfer simulations of pure central detonations of carbon-oxygen WDs with a mass ($M_\rm{tot}$) between 0.88 M$_{\odot}$ and 1.15 M$_{\odot}$, and a $^{56}\rm{Ni}$ yield between 0.08 M$_{\odot}$ and 0.84 M$_{\odot}$. Their lower ejecta density compared to $M_{\rm Ch}$ models results in a more rapid increase of the luminosity at early times and an enhanced $γ$-ray escape fraction past maximum light. Consequently, their bolometric light curves display shorter rise times and larger post-maximum decline rates. Moreover, the higher $M(^{56}\rm{Ni})/M_\rm{tot}$ ratio at a given $^{56}\rm{Ni}$ mass enhances the temperature and ionization level in the spectrum-formation region for the less luminous models, giving rise to bluer colours at maximum light and a faster post-maximum evolution of the $B-V$ colour. For sub-$M_{\rm Ch}$ models fainter than $M_B\approx -18.5$ mag at peak, the greater bolometric decline and faster colour evolution lead to a larger $B$-band post-maximum decline rate, $ΔM_{15}(B)$. In particular, all of our previously-published $M_{\rm Ch}$ models (standard and pulsational delayed detonations) are confined to $ΔM_{15}(B) < 1.4$ mag, while the sub-$M_{\rm Ch}$ models with $M_\rm{tot}\lesssim 1$ M$_{\odot}$ extend beyond this limit to $ΔM_{15}(B)\approx 1.65$ mag for a peak $M_B\approx -17$ mag, in better agreement with the observed width-luminosity relation (WLR). Regardless of the precise ignition mechanism, these simulations suggest that fast-declining SNe Ia at the faint end of the WLR could result from the explosion of WDs whose mass is significantly below the Chandrasekhar limit.

description: In this proceeding, we summarize the key science goals and reference design for a next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) that is envisaged to operate in the 2030s. The ngVLA is an interferometric array with more than 10 times the sensitivity and spatial resolution of the current VLA and ALMA, that will operate at frequencies spanning $\sim 1.2 -116$ GHz, thus lending itself to be highly complementary to ALMA and the SKA1. As such, the ngVLA will tackle a broad range of outstanding questions in modern astronomy by simultaneously delivering the capability to: unveil the formation of Solar System analogues; probe the initial conditions for planetary systems and life with astrochemistry; characterize the assembly, structure, and evolution of galaxies from the first billion years to the present; use pulsars in the Galactic center as fundamental tests of gravity; and understand the formation and evolution of stellar and supermassive blackholes in the era of multi-messenger astronomy.

description: 1. Safrole is a natural compound categorized as a group 2B carcinogen extracted from sassafras oil or certain other essential oils. The hepatotoxicity of safrole has always been highly concerned. So, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of cytochrome P450 (CYP450)-mediated reactive metabolites (RMs) formation and its induced cytotoxicity in HepaRG cells. 2. Safrole belongs to the methylenedioxyphenyl structure which could be activated to RMs. Two metabolites (M1, M2) and three new glutathione conjugates (M3–M5) of safrole ortho-oquinone RMs were found in HepaRG cells. Using human recombinant CYP450 enzymes and chemical inhibitor method, the metabolism of safrole RMs was predominantly carried out through the CYP1A2 with minor contributions by CYP2E1. 3. Induction of CYP1A2 by omeprazole (OME) enhanced safrole-induced cytotoxicity, compared with treatment with safrole alone, whereas inhibition of CYP1A2 by alpha-naphthoflavone (α-NAP) decreased the cytotoxicity. The cytotoxicity of cell induced by safrole was related to the amount of RMs formation. Besides, pretreatment with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) to deplete intracellular GSH markedly enhanced safrole-induced cytotoxicity. OME induced the safrole-induced GSH exhaustion, and GSH depletion by safrole was not via oxidation of GSH and occurred prior to the increase in ROS. Furthermore, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) could be aggravated by the inducer of CYP1A2 together with safrole. Collectively, these data suggest that the ortho-quinone RM may mediate safrole hepatotoxicity, and CYP1A2 was the core enzyme in ortho-quinone RMs-mediated safrole hepatotoxicity.
On the nature of continuous physical quantities in classical and quantum mechanics

description: Within the traditional Hilbert space formalism of quantum mechanics, it is not possible to describe a particle as possessing, simultaneously, a sharp position value and a sharp momentum value. Is it possible, though, to describe a particle as possessing just a sharp position value (or just a sharp momentum value)? Some, such as Teller (Journal of Philosophy, 1979), have thought that the answer to this question is No -- that the status of individual continuous quantities is very different in quantum mechanics than in classical mechanics. On the contrary, I shall show that the same subtle issues arise with respect to continuous quantities in classical and quantum mechanics; and that it is, after all, possible to describe a particle as possessing a sharp position value without altering the standard formalism of quantum mechanics.

description: This presentation was given at the Academic Business Library Directors (ABLD) conference on May 9, 2018 at the Odegaard Undergraduate Library (University of Washington, Seattle, WA).
AbstractEntrepreneurship and entrepreneurial research is quickly becoming one of the major forces on campus at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). The newly created Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship as well as various classes and programs devoted to innovation in healthcare and technology at the Tepper School of Business and College of Engineering have created an environment where faculty, students, and staff are encouraged to pursue entrepreneurial projects. As a result, there is an ever increasing demand for private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) data for benchmarking, competitive intelligence, and startup research. In response to this, the goal is to position CMU Libraries as a strategic partner with those entities on campus that need this data and expertise. This presentation will discuss the acquisition of data sources, the development of presentations and workshops on this type of data, and mention the different groups on campus that the libraries are already collaborating with in this space. Next steps include an environmental scan and potentially forming a team of librarians dedicated to these research efforts.

description: We review the main neutrino emission mechanisms in neutron star crusts and cores. Among them are the well-known reactions such as the electron-positron annihilation, plasmon decay, neutrino bremsstrahlung of electrons colliding with atomic nuclei in the crust, as well as the Urca processes and neutrino bremsstrahlung in nucleon-nucleon collisions in the core. We emphasize recent theoretical achievements, for instance, band structure effects in neutrino emission due to scattering of electrons in Coulomb crystals of atomic nuclei. We consider the standard composition of matter (neutrons, protons, electrons, muons, hyperons) in the core, and also the case of exotic constituents such as the pion or kaon condensates and quark matter. We discuss the reduction of the neutrino emissivities by nucleon superfluidity, as well as the specific neutrino emission produced by Cooper pairing of the superfluid particles. We also analyze the effects of strong magnetic fields on some reactions, such as the direct Urca process and the neutrino synchrotron emission of electrons. The results are presented in the form convenient for practical use. We illustrate the effects of various neutrino reactions on the cooling of neutron stars. In particular, the neutrino emission in the crust is critical in setting the initial thermal relaxation between the core and the crust. Finally, we discuss the prospects of exploring the properties of supernuclear matter by confronting cooling simulations with observations of the thermal radiation from isolated neutron stars.

description: The combinatorics of the BPHZ subtraction scheme for a class of ladder graphs for the three point vertex in $ϕ^3$ theory is transcribed into certain connectivity relations for marked chord diagrams (knots with transversal intersections). The resolution of the singular crossings using the equivalence relations in these examples provides confirmation of a proposed fundamental relationship between knot theory and renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory.

description: Gross and Zagier conjectured that the CM values (of certain Hecke translates) of the automorphic Green function Gs (z₁, z₂) for the elliptic modular group at positive integral spectral parameter s are given by logarithms of algebraic numbers in suitable class fields. We prove a partial average version of this conjecture, where we sum in the first variable z₁ over all CM points of a fixed discriminant d₁ (twisted by a genus character), and allow in the second variable the evaluation at individual CM points of discriminant d₂. This result is deduced from more general statements for automorphic Green functions on Shimura varieties associated with the group GSpin (n, 2). We also use our approach to prove a Gross–Kohnen–Zagier theorem for higher Heegner divisors on Kuga–Sato varieties over modular curves.
