description: This paper presents a technical approach for fusing information from diverse sources. Fusion requires appropriate weighting of information based on the quality of the source of the information. A credibility model characterizes the quality of information based on the source and the circumstances under which the information is collected. In many cases credibility is uncertain, so inference is necessary. Explicit probabilistic credibility models provide a computational model of the quality of the information that allows use of prior information, evidence when available, and opportunities for learning from data. This paper provides an overview of the challenges, describes the advanced probabilistic reasoning tools used to implement credibility models, and provides an example of the use of credibility models in a multi-source fusion process.

title: Presence of Ebola Structural Proteins in Exosomes Can Cause Immune System Dysregulation
Creators: name: Heath, Allison
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Exosome
subject: Dysregulation
subject: Immune inhibition
subject: Ebola

description: The Ebola virus (EBOV) is a member of the Filoviridae family and is the virus responsible for the most recent world health emergency. The first outbreaks of the disease occurred in 1976 in Sudan and in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The most recent outbreak has included the countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Mali and Senegal. Within days of infection with the virus, patients begin to experience fever, chills, and myalgia. As the infection progresses, symptoms advance to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, chest pain, cough, bloody feces, vomiting blood, distention and/or hemorrhage of sclerotic arterioles in the eyes, gastrointestinal bleeding from the mouth and rectum and hemorrhage from the nose and mouth may also be observed. Spread of the virus occurs through breaks in the skin, contact with mucosal surfaces, or after direct contact with persons infected or recently deceased from the virus. It is crucial that we gain a greater understanding of the mechanisms of the pathenogenesis of this virus; both to prevent future outbreaks of the disease and to better understand other similar RNA viruses. In this project, we have focused on biology of three proteins critical for Ebola pathogenesis. Ebola GP, NP and VP40 are proteins associated with egress and entry into the cells. Our data suggests that exposure of VP40 to immune cells can result in cell death, and that this protein may be transmitted via exosomes. Our study aids in deciphering the role of VP40 in immune cell death and suggests that some FDA approved drugs that inhibit the cell death may reverse at least some pathogenic processes instigated by the VP40 associated exosomes. While the effects of exosomes on the course of viral infection and host response have yet to be fully explored, we have provided evidence that these exosomes may play a role in the spread of Ebola infection to immune privileged sites and a possibility of the establishment of latent Ebola infection.

description: This thesis is a comparative study of educational reforms in two German States, Bavaria and Berlin, following reactions to PISA scores and rankings after 2000. The purpose is to understand the objectives of the reforms implemented and whether goals were met. Since the outcry post PISA 2000 was due to the failures of the education system in regards to youth of migrant background within the secondary school system, the study will analyze what has been discovered and whether the introduced reforms have addressed and improved on these issues.
A Fresh Look On Cosmic Rays And Magnetic Fields In Disc  Galaxies
Creators: name: Dettmar, Ralf-Jürgen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: Recent numerical models of the multiphase ISM underline the importance of cosmic rays and magnetic fields for the physics of the ISM in star-forming disc galaxies. Here we present new observational evidence from radio-continuum polarization studies of edge-on galaxies. This includes results from the CHANG-ES (Continuum HAlos in Nearby Galaxies - an EVLA Survey; PI J. Irwin) project which has observed 35 edge-on galaxies with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) in two frequency bands (L- and C-band) and in three array configurations (D, C, B). This survey benefits significantly from the new multi-channel capability of the upgraded facility. From the total power maps, a "mean" radio-continuum halo has been derived and the polarization information provides information on the magnetic field structure in the halos. The findings will be discussed in the context of CR driven galactic winds.

subject: Alternative hypotheses
subject: AQ learning
subject: Machine learning
subject: Natural induction
subject: Knowledge mining
subject: Data mining

description: In many areas of application of machine learning and data mining, it is desirable to generate alternative inductive hypotheses from the given data. The Aq-ALT or, briefly, ALT method, presented in this paper, generates alternative hypotheses in two phases. The first phase proceeds according to the standard Aq algorithm, but each star generation process produces not just one best complex, but rather a collection of complexes, called the elite. This phase ends when the union of best complexes constitutes a complete and consistent cover of the target set, called the primary hypothesis. The second phase derives alternative hypotheses by multiplying out the disjunctions of symbols representing complexes in each elite, and creating an irredundant DNF expression. Individual terms in this expression determine alternative hypotheses. These hypotheses are ranked according to a given hypothesis evaluation criterion, LEFh, and the alt best hypotheses are selected, where alt is a parameter provided to the program. The method is extended to inconsistent covering problem by introducing an event membership probability function. The selected hypotheses can be used as alternative generalizations of data, or arranged into an ensemble of classifiers to perform a form of boosting. The ALT method is general, and can thus be employed not only in concept learning, but also for generating alternative solutions to any general covering problem.

In this case, education has focused too much on analysis and not enough on synthesis. The result is that dysfunctional systems are running ramped. John N. Warfield Collection, 99.7

Dissecting Discs And Bulges With Sami And Romulus
Creators: name: Taranu, Dan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: Integral field surveys like SAMI are providing spatially-resolved kinematics for thousands of disc galaxies, while cosmological simulations like Romulus resolve galaxy formation on similar scales. However, little progress has been made on methods to measure structural properties - a key to exploiting these rich new datasets. We have developed a new method to fit self-consistent 3D bulge+disc+halo models to multi-wavelength data using Bayesian (MCMC) routines. I will show that our code can simultaneously reproduce deep imaging, SAMI kinematics and unresolved 21cm HI emission of regular spirals, measuring fundamental properties like mass, size and spin with more robust uncertainties than traditional 2D methods. I will also present predictions for disc galaxy scaling relations from the new high-resolution Romulus cosmological simulation, using novel, realistic SAMI-equivalent synthetic observations. Finally, I will outline how these methods will soon converge to a comprehensive picture of disc galaxy evolution from z=1 to today.

title: Economics to Social Philosophy: the Foundations of John Rawls's Contribution
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2021

description: These essays are an attempt to understand Rawls’s use of economics in developing his system in A Theory of Justice. The intensive use of and reference to economic theory, I will argue, is deeply involved with how the theory was originally conceived. The critical response to Rawls has thus far mostly ignored this line of thinking. For instance, Pogge’s reference to Rawls building an early version of his original position based on an idea in Knight (as relayed to Pogge in personal conversation) has resulted in almost no connection between Rawls and Knight in the literature. Rawls’s extensive use of parallels with economics is key to how the system functions. Strands of analysis connected to the idea of a thought experiment, to decisions made behind the veil of ignorance, and to the system relying on moral impulse as motivation are all tangential to what actually drives the system. Rawls in fact utilizes, at base, a rather severe form of modeling. This sets up an enormous contrast with utilitarianism, where increases in levels of information and of benevolence are both central ingredients. Neither benevolence nor full information are at the center of the process for Rawls. There is an automaticity at the hinge point in Rawls that has baffled a large portion of the philosophical community. These papers hope to explain some of these elements.
The Fate Of Giant Star Forming Clumps
Creators: name: Feldmann, Robert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: Observations reveal the presence of extended, star forming clumps in the disks of many high redshift galaxies. Many of these clumps form from gravitational instabilities in gas-rich disks and they may play an important role in growing the galactic bulges at those times. A crucial uncertainty is, however, whether giant clumps are disrupted by their own stellar feedback before reaching the center of their host galaxies. I will present new results based on ultra-high resolution cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations of  disk galaxies at z~1-2 that include explicit modeling of supernovae and radiation pressure feedback. The feedback model in these simulations has been validated in a number of publications and reproduces empirical relations between stellar mass, halo mass, and metallicity, as well as properties of galactic winds. I will discuss the lifetimes of the simulated clumps, their migration, and their contribution to the growth of the stellar mass and central bulge. I will also demonstrate that mass-weighted stellar ages of clumps are not a good indicator of their actual lifetimes and that clumps with older stellar populations naturally reside closer to the galactic center even in the  absence of strong migration. Finally, I will argue that giant clumps at z~1-2 resemble scaled-up versions of local giant molecular clouds (GMCs). They lie on the same mass-radius relation as GMCs and have comparable star formation efficiencies.
Alma Reveals Rapid Formation Of A Dense Core For Massive Disks At Z~2
Creators: name: Tadaki, Kenichi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Discs in galaxies

description: At z~2, massive quiescent galaxies are extremely compact with a dense core while the majority of star-forming galaxies have a more extended stellar  disk.    However,  it  remains  unknown  how  the  dense  core  is formed  and  how  galaxies  are  transformed.  We  have  made  1kpc-resolution ALMA observations at 870 um for 25 massive galaxies on the star   formation   main   sequence   at   z~2,   and   compared   the   spatial distribution  of  the  rest-frame  far-infrared  emission  with  stellar  mass maps  derived  from  spatially  resolved  stellar  population  modeling.  The high-resolution ALMA data reveal that the dust continuum  emission is mostly radiated from single region close to the galaxy center and its half light  radius  is  more  compact  by  a  factor  of  2-3  than  the  rest-frame optical light and stellar component. Given extremely high SFR surface densities  measured  within  a  central  1  kpc,  the  compact  starburst  can build up a dense core in only a few hundred Myr.

We  may  be  witnessing  one  of  evolutionary  pathways  from  extended star-forming disks to compact galaxies.

subject: Method

description: Bernard Lonergan’s methodology for developing insights has a successful history in third-party dispute resolution. Practitioners such as Melchin and Picard have applied and expanded Lonergan’s frameworks in interpersonal and interfaith conflict analysis and resolution. Lonergan’s analysis, however, expands beyond gaining insights in third-party mediation. He connects cognitive process with cycles of human development, focusing on the relationship between insights and progress, and bias and decline. This research explores Lonergan’s methodology, discusses comparative analysis with realist frameworks, explores his concept of bias, decline and progress, then applies Lonergan’s methods to analysis of the conflict in Western Sahara. Using Lonergan’s analytical framework provides a method of objectivity. The territorial conflict between Morocco and Sahrawi nationalists entered its thirty-fifth year, with twenty years of stalemate for a referendum following a 1991 United Nations mandated ceasefire. The Kingdom of Morocco has not successfully negotiated that autonomy is the best option for resolution. The Polisario Front, the Algerian supported Saharawi nationalist movement, has not convinced the international community that Morocco operates outside international law in preventing self-determination through a referendum. Realist doctrine as an analytical framework, hindered from resistance to humanist insights proves insufficient for addressing intrastate conflicts, such as Western Sahara. In the fourth chapter, I develop Western Sahara as a case study to examine threats and cares for the stakeholders, bias, decline and progress, and through exploration of bias, historicity and meaning-making, authenticity and unauthenticity in authority. This research intends first to contribute knowledge in understanding application of Lonergan’s methods in intrastate conflict, and provide insights for analyzing the stalemate in Western Sahara.
title: De-marginalisation in the Wake of the 2011 Arab Uprisings: Democratic and Islamist Narratives in Tunisia and the Prospects for Euro-Mediterranean Relations

Subjects: subject: Arab uprisings

subject: Democratic narratives
subject: Cultural symbols

description: The 2011 “Arab Spring” which started in Tunisia and spread to the rest of North Africa and the Arab Middle East has opened a potentially democratic space, triggering what this work calls the process of ‘de-marginalisation’. In the wake of the historic uprisings formerly marginalised groups – unemployed youths, women, students, workers and Islamists – find themselves negotiating their fate in the new space which has opened up. Embarking on a fieldwork research in Tunisia, this thesis employs a nuanced theory of culture to unpack emerging narratives. It does so by decoding four salient symbols and metaphors which strike a chord in Tunisians: Habib Bourguiba, the Constitution, the ‘Sixth Caliphate’ and the Personal Status Code. Through a textual analysis, this work uncovers how solidarity, exclusion, humanisation, dehumanisation, tolerance and justice function in Tunisian society. The conflicts surrounding these symbols articulate citizens’ demands for a profound democratic sharing of the civil space amid fresh fears about a looming radicalisation of society. By examining how the 2011 events have challenged analytical assumptions on a “backward” culture in the region this thesis identifies the articulation of such ideas in European Union policy towards its southern neighbourhood, namely the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and the European Neighbourhood Policy. Denouncing the EU’s tacit support to the fallen regimes, the ethos of demarginalisation calls for EU policy which supports political reform through solidarity and rapprochement. In practice, the democratisation process in Tunisia needs buttressing through financial aid coupled with conditionality so that Tunisia may sustain its democratising momentum.

description: This thesis is a novel based in the magical world of Riniel, where Dragons may not be common, but are very much alive and well. These pages represent the first three-fifths of what should be a completed novel by Summer's end, work that has been polished and affected by my years of study at GMU, both as an Undergraduate and as an MFA Candidate. The story focuses on three different factions, one that runs from the other two, the other two hated enemies of each other as well, and on the interpersonal interactions between the members of those three factions. It is a time of war, but also a time of hope and renewal. A time for new leaders to be born out of the ashes of an older world.

title: Role of Ionic Buffering in the Relationship between Recovery and Fatigability
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the role of ionic buffering capacity, as measured by non-metabolic expired carbon dioxide (nm-V ̇CO2), in the relationship between recovery and performance fatigability. Methods: Twenty healthy adults (men, n=9, age =44.7±13.9 years; women, n=11, age=50.3±11.1 years) completed peak cardiopulmonary exercise (CPET) and submaximal constant work rate tests (CWRT) on the cycle ergometer on separate days before and after a vigorous, 4-week aerobic exercise training (AET) regimen. Each test was followed by 10-minutes of passive recovery and an endurance test at 70% of the peak watts attained during the CPET. Performance fatigability was measured by the endurance test durations following both the peak CPET (End1) and CWRT (End2), peak CPET time (pk-Time), and peak CPET watts (pk-Watts). Metabolic indices were total V ̇CO2 (t-V ̇CO2), metabolic V ̇CO2 (m-V ̇CO2), and non-metabolic V ̇CO2 (nm-V ̇CO2), and recovery capacity indices were V ̇O2 and V ̇CO2 off-kinetic oxidative response index (ORI). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, correlations, and regressions and compared before and after AET. Results: Significant improvements in recovery (V ̇O2 -off ORI 7.48±7.52 ml/s, p<0.001 and V ̇CO2-off ORI 4.11±5.05 ml/s, p<0.001) and performance fatigability measures (End 1 265±337 s ; End2 321±392 s ; pk-Time 63±40 s, p<0.001; pk-Watts 24±19, p<0.001) were observed after AET, along with significant increases in t-V ̇CO2 (1512±2225 ml, p<0.01) and nm-V ̇CO2 (608 ± 666 ml, p<0.001). However, a significant change in m-V ̇CO2 (904±2255 ml, p=0.089) was not observed. Relationships between measures of recovery and PF measures were observed, although the strengths of the relationships were diminished (pk-Time, pk-Watts) or became non-significant (End1, End2) after controlling the analyses for the effect of nm-V ̇CO2. Conclusion: The current study suggests that ionic buffering capacity may moderate the relationship between recovery and performance fatigability. These results could have implications regarding AET induced buffering dynamics and its role in fatigue resistance when performing physical activities above moderate intensities.

description: The large scale circulation of the atmosphere, as characterized by circulation regimes, has a significant influence on storminess and precipitation extremes. One type of structure known to be related to precipitation is atmospheric rivers, regions of intense poleward moisture flux. This raises the question of what spatial resolution is required to accurately simulate the circulation dependence of atmospheric rivers. This paper investigates the impact of enhanced resolution on the simulation of circulation regimes over the Pacific North American region during boreal winter, and the regime dependence of atmospheric river patterns. In particular we examine the realism of ensemble forecasts made with the ECMWF model at three different resolutions (100km, 31km, 16km). The regimes are determined from the k-means clustering method; our results focus on two choices for the number of clusters: 4 and 5. We create regime composites of z500 and u250 anomalies, then calculate spatial correlation, differences in regime persistence distribution, and annual maximum episode persistence to compare reanalysis with model simulations. Composites for regime-associated atmospheric rivers were also computed, and spatial correlations calculated. We find that regimes are better simulated in going from low to medium resolution, but that does not apply in going from the medium to high resolution. `We find that generally regime persistence is well represented, with some exceptions. We also find that atmospheric rivers typically show good spatial correlation with their assigned regimes, and that the correlation is somewhat improved in going from the low to medium resolution despite a consistent undercounting of rivers in the model. Future work is needed to determine if the model loses moisture as the forecast length increases.

description: Basic information on the ecology of species is key for their conservation. Here we study the ecology of the little-known yellow-throated bunting Emberiza elegans based on a multi-year study on its breeding grounds in the Russian Far East. For the first time in this species, we quantified breeding habitat parameters, calculated sex-specific apparent survival, and determined individual nonbreeding locations using light-level geolocation. We found that the habitat around song posts of male yellow-throated buntings is characterized by tree and shrub layers on richly littered moist ground. Habitat use overlaps with co-occurring Tristram's Buntings Emberiza tristrami and Black-faced Buntings E. spodocephala, but territories differ especially in tree cover and litter cover. Based on 4 years of color-ringing data of 72 individuals, we calculated an apparent survival rate of 36%, with higher survival estimates for male than for female yellow-throated buntings. We found no effect of carrying a geolocator on survival. We retrieved six geolocators from males. All birds migrated south-westward during autumn and spent the nonbreeding season at locations in China 700–1700 km away from their breeding sites. At least two individuals spent the boreal winter outside of the known range in northern or central China. Birds left the breeding area between early October and early November and returned between mid-March and mid-April. Our data on habitat use, survival rate, and migratory connectivity will help to assess threats to the populations of this enigmatic species, which might include habitat loss due to forest fires on the breeding grounds, and unsustainable harvest for consumption during the nonbreeding season.

description: The Parkinson’s Families Project is a UK-wide study aimed at identifying genetic variation associated with familial and early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). We recruited individuals with a clinical diagnosis of PD and age at motor symptom onset ≤ 45 years and/or a family history of PD in up to third-degree relatives. We analysed DNA samples with a combination of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array genotyping, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). We investigated the association between identified pathogenic mutations and demographic and clinical factors such as age at motor symptom onset, family history, motor symptoms (MDS-UPDRS) and cognitive performance (MoCA). The files contain the cleaned datasets used to perform statistical and polygenic risk score analyses.
