description: Unfolding a convex polyhedron into a simple planar polygon is a well-studied problem. In this paper, we study the limits of unfoldability by studying nonconvex polyhedra with the same combinatorial structure as convex polyhedra. In particular, we give two examples of polyhedra, one with 24 convex faces and one with 36 triangular faces, that cannot be unfolded by cutting along edges. We further show that such a polyhedron can indeed be unfolded if cuts are allowed to cross faces. Finally, we prove that ``open'' polyhedra with triangular faces may not be unfoldable no matter how they are cut.

description: Aim: The treatment effects of spironolactone on heart failure with reduced (HFrEF LVEF < 40%) and preserved (HFpEF LVEF≥50%) ejection fraction are well characterized, it is not clear whether heart failure patients with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF, LVEF 40-49%) benefit from spironolactone. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of spironolactone in HFmrEF patients. Method: We compared high dosage of spironolactone (50 mg daily), low dosage of spironolactone (25 mg daily) and untreated group for the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in 279 patients admitted to our hospital diagnosed with HFmrEF. Results: With a mean follow-up duration of 1 year, the death and HF-rehospitalization rate demonstrated significantly lower incidence in those taking spironolactone, compared with the untreated group (21.3% vs 34.5%, P = 0.014, respectively). Further analysis showed no difference between two spironolactone groups (21.8% vs 20.7%, P = 0.861). Kaplan-Meier analysis of outcome-free survival illustrated significant difference in survival rate among three groups (log-rank testing, P = 0.045). Compared with the baseline level, patients received 25mg spironolactone had lower physical score (p < 0.05) at 1-year follow-up, MLHFQ total scores in two spironolactone groups markedly improved compared with untreated group (P<0.001), similar results were observed in MLHFQ physical scores (p = 0.025,0.001, respectively) and emotional subscale (p = 0.023,0.011, respectively), however, paired comparison between two spironolactone groups showed no difference. Conclusions: In patients with HFmrEF, treatment with spironolactone significantly reduced the incidence of the primary composite outcomes of all-cause death, rehospitalization for the management of heart failure compared with placebo, high dosage of spironolactone did not show the trends of reduction in the MACE.

description: In the first half of the twentieth century in the segregated South, Black laboratory schools began as "model," "practice," or "demonstration" schools that were at the heart of teacher training institutions at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Central to the core program, they were originally designed to develop college-ready students, demonstrate effective teaching practices, and provide practical application for student teachers. As part of a higher educational institution and under the supervision of a college or university president, a number of these schools evolved to "laboratory" high schools, playing a role in the development of African American education beyond their own local communities. As laboratories for learning, experimentation, and research, they participated in major cooperative studies and hosted workshops. They not only educated the pupils of the lab school and the student teachers from the institution, but also welcomed visitors from other high schools and colleges with a charge to influence Black education
A case study of Alabama State College Laboratory School, 1920-1960, demonstrates the evolution of a lab high school as part of the core program at an HBCU and its distinctive characteristics of high graduation and college enrollment rates, well-educated teaching staff, and a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum. The collected oral histories from former graduates testify to the perception that a laboratory high school education was considered a privilege. The history of Alabama State College Laboratory High School provides evidence that Lab High offered a "Class A" education to Black youth in Alabama despite the oppressive White social policies and practices in the South and contrary to the plentiful historical accounts of inferior secondary education during legalized segregation. As a progressive laboratory for learning, Alabama State College Lab High played a role in the development of education for African Americans in Alabama and throughout the South.

description: Bar charts with y-axes that don't begin at zero can visually exaggerate effect sizes. However, advice for whether or not to truncate the y-axis can be equivocal for other visualization types. In this paper we present examples of visualizations where this y-axis truncation can be beneficial as well as harmful, depending on the communicative and analytic intent. We also present the results of a series of crowd-sourced experiments in which we examine how y-axis truncation impacts subjective effect size across visualization types, and we explore alternative designs that more directly alert viewers to this truncation. We find that the subjective impact of axis truncation is persistent across visualizations designs, even for designs with explicit visual cues that indicate truncation has taken place. We suggest that designers consider the scale of the meaningful effect sizes and variation they intend to communicate, regardless of the visual encoding.

description: Small molecules have been synthesized toward the goals of constructing and modifying polymeric materials according to simple, generalizeable, and universal processes. The prepared compounds rely upon a combination of photochemistry and the 'click' philosophy to alter the architecture, bulk properties, or surface chemistry of polymers. In Chapter 1, a review is presented that details the many implementations of the 'click' philosophy to polymer chemistry. The influence of 'click' and photochemistry upon macromolecules is discussed using a topological approach to polymer architecture. Chapter 2 details the synthesis of several second-generation homobifunctional exogenous photocrosslinkers that extend upon previous work from our group. Additionally, a first-generation crosslinker is used to core-crosslink micellar aggregates of block copolymers. Chapter 3 describes the design, synthesis, and implementation of a photoactive 'click' activator for polymer surfaces. This chapter extends the notion of a material-specific anchor from hard substrates to a range of soft polymer substrates. Chapter 4 is an inquiry into the nature of the photoreaction of a standard photoactive moiety - benzophenone - with model compounds that represent polymers in which the crosslinkers of Chapter 2 are embedded. Comparison of competitive rates of abstraction gives insight into the reactive preferences of the crosslinkers and anchors of the previous chapters. In Chapter 5 small molecules and macromonomers are described that build upon the compounds described in previous chapters which collectively form the basis of a 'toolkit' approach to polymer assembly and modification. Variations and extensions upon the 'toolkit' are detailed in order to give a sense of the future possibilities of this approach.

description: Consider a class of functions of one real variable with the following uniqueness property: if a function f(x) from the class vanishes on a set of positive measure, then f is the zero function. In many instances, we would like to have a quantitative version of this property, e.g. a lower bound for f(x) outside a small exceptional set. Such estimates are well-known and useful for polynomials and analytic functions. In this work we prove similar results for the Denjoy-Carleman and the Bernstein classes of quasianalytic functions.

description: If we look at poetry carefully, we find that every formal rule in poetry is a mathematical rule. This restriction defines the form of poetry. Thus, it can be said that no form of poetry is without mathematics. Both mathematics and poetry share the requirement of great imagination.". And this is just the
beginning of the similarities between them. The connection between mathematics and poetry is completely natural. Mathematics and poetry share symbols (symbolism), algorithmic basis, structures, patterns, and symmetry.
Similar requirements are for a reading of a mathematical and poetic formula: The reader must be attentive.

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic chronic condition characterised by aberrant mucosa and localised and systemic inflammation, which affects mainly the respiratory and digestive systems secondary to dysfunctional epithelial electrolyte and water transfer. The gut microbiota in CF is distorted in comparison with healthy controls. This includes elevation of potentially pathogenic Proteobacteria or its sub-rank taxa, and suppression of taxa belonging to the phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria, which predominant in the gut microbiota and play important roles in the regulation of host metabolism and immune functions in the general population. The gut dysbiosis in CF has been linked to disease manifestations in the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. Indirect evidence from the general population and CF animal studies implies a role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis and/or management of other CF co-morbidities associated with metabolism and inflammation, such as CF-related diabetes (CFRD), colorectal cancer, malnutrition and overweight/obesity. Among a variety of host and environmental factors that can influence the gut microbiota, diet seems to be the most modifiable. Therefore, the present study investigated the associations between gut microbiota and diet (macronutrients, micronutrients, food groups and flavonoids), as well as clinical characteristics important in CF management (e.g. lung function, body composition and psychological status), in the group of free-living adults with CF.
Characteristics of Destination Address Locality in Computer Networks: A Comparison of Caching Schemes

description: The size of computer networks, along with their bandwidths, is growing exponentially. To support these large, high-speed networks, it is neccessary to be able to forward packets in a few microseconds. One part of the forwarding operation consists of searching through a large address databse. This problem is encountered in the design of bridges, routers, gateways and name servers. Caching can reduce the lookup time if there is a locality in the address reference pattern. Using a destination reference trace measured on an extended local are a network, we attempt to see if the destination refernces do have a significant locality. We compared the performance of MIN, LRU, FIFO, and random cache replacement algorithms. We found that the interactive (terminal) traffic in our sample had quite different locality behavior than that of the noninteractive traffic. The interactive traffic did not follow the LRU stack model while the noninteractivetraffic did. Examples are shown of the environments in which caching can help as well as those in which caching can hurt, unless the cache size is large.

description: This literature and interview-informed dissertation research sought to explore the educational experiences of a small sample of those who identify as part of the generation of Muslim youth in the United States who have come of age in “the age of terror,” precipitated by the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S. The research involved analyses and interpretations of selected literatures pertaining to seminal theories, histories, and discourses pertaining to U.S situated Muslim students in high schools. In addition, responses from seven Muslim high school students who describe how they see themselves, their schooling environments around them, and their place within that constructed world also contributed to this dissertation work. The researcher interrogated study participants’ descriptions garnered mostly via facilitations of interviews, and some student written narrative and poetry. Simultaneously, the researcher, who identifies as a queer Arab Muslim-American educator, reflexively interrogated her own assumptions, biases and expectations propelling and affecting her analyses and interpretations of study data. Themes of visibility and “coming out” as Muslim as well as of political structures, forms of oppression, namely Islamophobia, and school environments are all navigated as well as questioned through the perspectives of both students and the Arab-American Muslim educator-researcher. The research both creates and leaves spaces for further delvings into teacher education dominant notions of pedagogy, classroom images, and school communities. Additionally, this dissertation research offers possibilities for change in relation to conceptions of larger intersecting power structures that influence not only how the public perceives Muslim cultures but also on how these youth see themselves.

Cheating your way back: Odysseus' return to a real world
Creators: name: Blankenborg, Ronald
Publisher: name: Electra
Year: 2018

description: In this article I argue that the considerable contribution of cheating to the development of the narrative of Homer’s Odyssey (ca. 700 BCE) is the consequence of the epic’s chaotic and precipitous start – so precipitous in fact that the actorial motivation and the narratorial motivation (De Jong 2004) are not automatically in sync. Faced with the sudden – and for many characters involved: unexpected – challenge to account for the choices made over the past ten years since the fall and destruction of Troy, the Odyssey’s main characters do not always justify their actions with plausible or coherent arguments. Especially Odysseus appears to cheat while mixing truth with falsehood as he introduces the reasons and the circumstances of his unexpected and rather belated return home. His wife Penelope equally struggles justifying her deeds: she appears to have been cheating, but her acts turn out to have been well-considered. Telemachus, their son, suffers from his inability to mask his true intentions (Heitman 2005); he still has to master what is presented as a highly valued skill in the Odyssey, the art of cheating. It is in fact, I will argue, so highly valued that all narrators, including Homer himself, allow for cheating and lying in order to bring the precipitously started Odyssey to a proper conclusion.

description: We study the quasi-normal modes (QNMs) of static, spherically symmetric black holes in $f(R)$ theories. We show how these modes in theories with non-trivial $f(R)$ are fundamentally different from those in General Relativity. In the special case of $f(R) = αR^2$ theories, it has been recently argued that iso-spectrality between scalar and vector modes breaks down. Here, we show that such a break down is quite general across all $f(R)$ theories, as long as they satisfy $f''(0)/(1+f''(0)) \neq 0$, where a prime denotes derivative of the function with respect to its argument. We specifically discuss the origin of the breaking of isospectrality. We also show that along with this breaking the QNMs receive a correction that arises when $f''(0)/(1+f'(0)) \neq 0$ owing to the inhomogeneous term that it introduces in the mode equation. We discuss how these differences affect the "ringdown" phase of binary black hole mergers and the possibility of constraining $f(R)$ models with gravitational-wave observations. We also find that even though the iso-spectrality is broken in $f(R)$ theories, in general, nevertheless in the corresponding scalar-tensor theories in the Einstein frame it is unbroken.

description: This project is a relational ethnography that explores valuation as a social process and its relationship to the production and reproduction of inequality in urban space. I connect the subjective valuation process with struggles over material resources and the politics of recognition. With each chapter of this dissertation I demonstrate that race and ethnicity are encoded in the value of urban spaces through analyses of various micro-level meaning-making practices and structures that constitute cultural processes relevant to valuation. In addition to participant observation, I incorporate semi-structured photo-elicitation interviews, unstructured interviews, a semiotic analysis and analyses of existing literature to historicize the project. My overall epistemological objective is to marry a political and material focus on worth with a study of the mechanisms through which culture enters into valuation processes and, consequently, inequality.
Kronos, Zeus and cheating polysemy in the succession myth in Hesiod's Theogony
Creators: name: Gladhill, Bill
Publisher: name: Electra
Year: 2018

description: Scholars have long recognized that deception, deceit, polysemy, ambiguity and cheating are infused and enmeshed in the deep structure of the violent cadences of Olympian succession in the mythography of Hesiod’s Theogony. Gaia cheats; Kronos cheats; Rhea cheats; Zeus cheats; Prometheus cheats; Zeus cheats more. This paper is ostensibly about the rhythm of deceit and deception in the unfolding of the Olympian order, but it privileges Hesiod’s own deceptive poetics in articulating the precise flow of deception in the course of the myths of succession. Hesiod builds into his narrative a significant, intratextual homophony that situates his poetics within the system of cheating and deception that is part and parcel of Olympian succession. I will show that this homophony is related to the themes of power and control, which the poem structures as an opposition between and . It will become clear that Zeus’ success and Kronos’ failure in the course of the succession myth is closely linked to Hesiodic poetics.

description: In this work we have used for the first time pseudo-spectral methods to perform numerical simulations of spherically symmetric black hole formations on a Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe. With these methods, the differential equations describing the gravitational collapse are partially solved algebraically. With our publicly available code we then independently check, and confirm, previous numerical estimations of the thresholds to form primordial black holes. By using an excision technique and analytical estimations of accretion rates, we were also able to estimate the black holes mass even in the case of large deviations from the threshold. There, we confirm, with an explicit example, that the estimation of the black hole mass via the self-similar scaling law is only accurate up to $O(15\%)$, for the largest allowed mass.

 The above specimens represent the first record of both the genus and the species from Afghanistan. Previously, O. chrysurus was known from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The external characters and the aedeagus of a male from Afghanistan are illustrated in Figs 1-9. The figures of the aedeagus in ASSING (1997b) show the lateral internal structures in a somewhat untypical position.

description: Recent progress in material data mining has been driven by high-capacity models trained on large datasets. However, collecting experimental data (real data) has been extremely costly since the amount of human effort and expertise required. Here, we develop a novel transfer learning strategy to address small or insufficient data problem. This strategy realizes the fusion of real and simulated data, and the augmentation of training data in data mining procedure. For a specific task of image segmentation, this strategy can generate synthetic images by fusing physical mechanism of simulated images and "image style" of real images. The result shows that the model trained with the acquired synthetic images and 35% of the real images outperforms the model trained on all real images. As the time required to generate synthetic data is almost negligible, this strategy is able to reduce the time cost of real data preparation by roughly 65%.

A Delay Based Approach for Congestion Avoidance in Interconnected Heterogeneous Computer Networks

description: In heterogeneous networks, achieving congestion avoidance is difficult because the congestion feedback from one subnetwork may have no meaning to source on other other subnetworks. We propose using changes in round-trip delay as an implicit feedback. Using a black-box model of the network, we derive an expression for the optimal window as a function of the gradient of the delay-window curve. The problems of selfish optimum and social optimum are also addressed. It is shown that without a careful design, it is possible to get into a race condition during heavy congestion, where each user wants more resources than others, thereby leading to a diverging congestion It is shown that congestion avoidance using round trip delay is a promising approach. The aproach has the advantage that there is absolutely no overhead for the network itself. It is exemplified by a simple scheme. The performance of the scheme is analyzed using a simulation model. The scheme is shown to be efficient, fair, convergent and adaptive to changes in network configuration. The scheme as described works only for networks that can ne modelled with queueing servers with constant service times. Further research is required to extend it for implementation in practical networks. Several directions for future research have beensuggested.

description: This thesis consists of artworks and an exegesis in response to the question: How can the appeal of advertising narratives aimed at contemporary Australian youth culture be scrutinised through restaging narrative content? The exegesis will be structured around a chronological reflection on studio outcomes, interspersing evaluation of exhibited works with relevant theoretical frameworks and significant practices within this field of research. In response to the dense implicit ideological content of narrative in advertising and the historical field of cultural texts responding to consumer capitalism, the central argument of this exegesis will formulate a practical research methodology that enacts sustained scrutiny of an advertisement’s narrative appeal. In working towards a research methodology, this exegesis will assess the potential of appropriative art production to critically respond to contemporary youth-oriented advertising. Taking into account the pervasiveness of oppositional and ironically complicit narratives within contemporary advertising culture, this research will use a method of appropriation as over-identification to restage advertising narratives that relate to my personal experience, my identity and the values of my community.
A Bayesian Approach to the Understanding of Exoplanet Populations and the Origin of Life

description: The study of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets for short, has developed rapidly over the last decade. While we have spent much effort building both ground-based and space telescopes to search for exoplanets, it is even more important that we use the observational data wisely to understand them. Exoplanets are of great interest to both astronomers and the general public because they have shown varieties of characteristics that we couldn't have anticipated from planets within our Solar System. To properly analyze the exoplanet populations, we need the tools of statistics. Therefore, in Chapter 1, I describe the science background as well as the statistical methods which will be applied in this thesis. In Chapter 2, I discuss how to train a hierarchical Bayesian model in detail to fit the relationship between masses and radii of exoplanets and categorize  exoplanets based on that. A natural application that comes with the model is to use it for future observations of mass/radius and predict the other measurement. Thus I will show two application cases in Chapter 3. Composition of an exoplanet is also very much constrained by its mass and radius. I will show an easy way to constrain the composition of exoplanets in Chapter 4 and discuss how more complicated methods can be applied in future works.
      Of even greater interest is whether there is life elsewhere in the Universe. Although the future discovery of extraterrestrial life might be totally a fluke, a clear sketched plan always gives us some directions. Research in this area is still very preliminary. Fortunately, besides directly searching for extraterrestrial life, we can also apply statistical reasoning to first estimate the rate of abiogenesis, which will give us some clue on the question of whether there is extraterrestrial life in a probabilistic way. In Chapter 5, I will discuss how different methods can constrain the abiogenesis rate in an informatics perspective.
      Finally I will give a brief summary in Chapter 6.

Cheaters win when they make the rules: sophistic ethics in Protagoras' Prometheus myth
Creators: name: Silvermintz, Daniel
Publisher: name: Electra
Year: 2018

description: Despite Protagoras’ infamous reputation for corrupting his students, his “Great Speech” (Plato, Protagoras 320c-328d) presents one of the most important arguments in the history of ethics.1 Refuting Socrates’ contention that virtue must be unteachable since even the best of men cannot raise good children, Protagoras argues that everyone is capable of learning the difference between right and wrong.2 He supports this conviction by appealing to both traditional myth and logical reasoning. In his famous appropriation of the Prometheus myth, Protagoras establishes the divine origin of political wisdom and its possession by all humanity as a gift of the gods. He follows his retelling of the myth with a logical argument that directly addresses Socrates’ concern by demonstrating that the variability of success rates substantiates the teachability of virtue rather than undermines it. Protagoras’ vigorous defense of moral instruction is so persuasive that many classical scholars are led to question the longstanding belief that he was in any way corrupt. In spite of this, at least a few scholars have noted contradictions within Protagoras’ argument that suggest he has a more sinister agenda. There should be no surprise that the thinker most famous for practicing deceptive rhetoric has deceived us. I argue that the “Great Speech” is a masterful work of rhetoric that explicitly promotes morality while subtly promoting an immoralist understanding of ethics consistent with the view articulated by Thrasymachus and other sophists: justice is, according to the sophist, not an inherent good, but rather serves the interest of those who wield political power and stand beyond the law that they impose upon others.

Mimic and Fool: A Task Agnostic Adversarial Attack
Creators: name: Chaturvedi, Akshay

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: At present, adversarial attacks are designed in a task-specific fashion. However, for downstream computer vision tasks such as image captioning, image segmentation etc., the current deep learning systems use an image classifier like VGG16, ResNet50, Inception-v3 etc. as a feature extractor. Keeping this in mind, we propose Mimic and Fool, a task agnostic adversarial attack. Given a feature extractor, the proposed attack finds an adversarial image which can mimic the image feature of the original image. This ensures that the two images give the same (or similar) output regardless of the task. We randomly select 1000 MSCOCO validation images for experimentation. We perform experiments on two image captioning models, Show and Tell, Show Attend and Tell and one VQA model, namely, end-to-end neural module network (N2NMN). The proposed attack achieves success rate of 74.0%, 81.0% and 87.1% for Show and Tell, Show Attend and Tell and N2NMN respectively. We also propose a slight modification to our attack to generate natural-looking adversarial images. In addition, we also show the applicability of the proposed attack for invertible architecture. Since Mimic and Fool only requires information about the feature extractor of the model, it can be considered as a gray-box attack.
