Automation and feedback for hybrid QM/MM calculations of biological systems
Creators: name: Mackenzie, Tristan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis focuses on the development of new techniques for modelling, parameterising, and analysing fluorescent proteins. Computational studies of fluorescent proteins are plagued by a steep learning curve, external tools demanding differing inputs, and silent errors that go unnoticed for months. Here we present tools aimed at making computational chemistry more accessible to fluorescent protein studies, together with two studies that demonstrate their potential. Chapter 4 introduces a Graphical User Interface aimed at abstracting command-line tools and other processes necessary for the creation of files ready for computation. Each of the (up to thirteen) stages is presented as an interactable object, relaying information and errors to the user. Relevant decisions and actions are exposed, while those disconnected from the question at hand such as file format conversion are performed under-the-hood. Chapter 5 extends the software with the capability to simulate saturation mutagenesis. Two methods for the optimisation of amino acid sidechains are described and compared. The sensitivity of the Green Fluorescent Protein chromophore toward mutation of its local environment is investigated. Molecular orbital and electron density analysis provides an explanation of the robustness of the chromophore. Chapter 6 is centred on the situation where multiple feasible reaction pathways between a set of reactants and products exist. While this situation has been covered extensively in literature for two coordinates, no examples of a true three-coordinate potential energy surface have been found. Interpolated scans are used to produce three-dimensional grids which are visualised using our own shader code. This technique is applied to the guanine-cytosine DNA base pair, followed by the proton transfer that links the I and A states of Green Fluorescent Protein. By comparing the electronic states along the reaction profile, an explanation of the increased reactivity on the excited state is given.
The Periaqueductal Grey in Opioid Tolerance and Chronic Pain

description: Pain is the body’s natural warning system to indicate one is in an environment highly detrimental to survival. The body’s response to the sensation of pain is to immediately withdraw from this environment, ensuring continued survival. However, when pain lasts beyond the window in which it is useful, it no longer serves as a helpful warning system but instead degrades the quality of life. Chronic pain leads to patients seeking opioids to alleviate their condition and regain control of their lives. A severe negative side effect of the use of opioids to treat chronic pain is the development of tolerance - a condition where, due to prolonged usage of opioids, the body fails to produce the desired levels of pain relief from the opioid dose. This necessitates increasing the dose of opioid and puts one at a greater risk of developing further negative side effects such as dependence and addiction. In the early 1990s we learned that tolerance to opioids, such as the drug morphine, is created and regulated in the brain. Specifically, it is created by adaptations within neurons in a midbrain region called the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (v1PAG). This thesis has three central objectives - first to delve deeper into the v1PAG to better describe the neuronal adaptations that follow morphine tolerance, second to examine in greater specificity the contributions of a singular protein, Protein Kinase-C, in the development of morphine tolerance and third, to evaluate a novel non-opioid compound as a therapeutic for chronic pain. The studies in this thesis describe the nature and mechanism of adaptations that occur in v1PAG neurons following morphine tolerance and, in addition, describe a sex-specific non-opioid therapeutic for chronic pain.

description: For large values of the minimal supergravity model parameter $\tanβ$, the tau lepton and the bottom quark Yukawa couplings become large, leading to reduced masses of $τ$-sleptons and $b$-squarks relative to their first and second generation counterparts, and to enhanced decays of charginos and neutralinos to $τ$-leptons and $b$-quarks. We evaluate the reach of the CERN LHC $pp$ collider for supersymmetry in the mSUGRA model parameter space. We find that values of $m_{\tg}\sim 1500-2000$ GeV can be probed with just 10 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity for $\tanβ$ values as high as 45, so that mSUGRA cannot escape the scrutiny of LHC experiments by virtue of having a large value of $\tanβ$. We also perform a case study of an mSUGRA model at $\tanβ=45$ where $\tz_2\to τ\ttau_1$ and $\tw_1\to \ttau_1ν_τ$ with $\sim 100%$ branching fraction. In this case, at least within our simplistic study, we show that a di-tau mass edge, which determines the value of $m_{\tz_2}-m_{\tz_1}$, can still be reconstructed. This information can be used as a starting point for reconstructing SUSY cascade decays on an event-by-event basis, and can provide a strong constraint in determining the underlying model parameters. Finally, we show that for large $\tanβ$ there can be an observable excess of $τ$ leptons, and argue that $τ$ signals might serve to provide new information about the underlying model framework.

Synergistic Effect of High Intensity Ultrasound, Antimicrobial Compounds, and UV-A Light on Microbial Quality of Dairy Products
Creators: name: Hales, Bryce Rodney
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Food spoilage and contamination remains a common problem within the food industry. Furthermore, the continued change of consumer demand and perspective on food quality and products has led the food industry and researchers to find new methods of food preservation. Many of these new methods hope to use non-thermal processes since thermal processes tend to decrease the overall quality of the final product. Some new non-thermal methods that have been looked at are the use of high intensity ultrasound (HIU), ultraviolet light, and the use of natural antimicrobials. In this study, UHT milk inoculated with either E. coli K12 or L. innocua L2 was treated with a combination of HIU (30 s), UV-A light (15 min), and the addition of a natural, FDA approved, antimicrobial compound: Nisin or ε-poly(lysine). The treatments displayed the ability to inactivate the microorganisms by up to ~ 99.99% while using ~ 38 % less energy than traditional, thermal pasteurization. Samples were also stored for a period of 24 h at 4 °C (refrigeration temperature) or 25 °C (room temperature) following the treatment. The samples stored at 4 °C showed a slight, continued decrease in the number of microorganisms, or microbial load, while the majority of the samples stored at 25 °C had an increase in the overall microbial load. Thus, the optimal temperature for storage was found to be 4 °C. Minor changes in pH were observed as well as changes in the color, which were, however, not discernable with the visible eye.
This study also measured the ability of UV-A light to inactivate the same microorganisms on the surface of processed cheese. To decrease the microbial load by ~ 99.9999% a total of ~ 70 min of UV-A light was needed for E. coli K12 and ~ 130 min for L. innocua L2. The surface of the cheese was analyzed using infrared spectroscopy and showed no changes in the surface chemistry but did show a decrease in moisture content. Minor changes in the color of the surface were also observed which were hard to discern with the visible eye.

description: The current study examined how families navigated the rules and admissionsrequirements of Washington, DC’s common enrollment lottery for public preschool. Informed by ethnography and case study methods, multiple in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with two Black mothers and one White mother over the course of a year to understand their processes for navigating the school lottery. Despite the lottery telling parents to rank schools in the order of their preference, informal rules were identified via lottery preferences and prior waitlist information. Race shaped participants’ school search processes as well, with both Black mothers indicating concerns regarding how some schools would treat their children. While all three participants reviewed DC data on waitlists, school quality, and academic curriculum, they still relied heavily on information from other parents to get specific experiences about schools. Despite an abundance of research supporting the importance of early childhood education on later outcomes, the mothers in this study downplayed the importance of preschool, perhaps in response to the level of effort expended on the lottery process. Their focus for the most part was on the later elementary years and beyond. Quantitative data on school demographics, waitlists, and school ratings are also analyzed to show how school- and ward-level structural constraints informed mothers’ processes. The study occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing a unique opportunity to show how families adjusted to school decisions during this historic event. By the last interview— about one year after the study began—all three mothers were participating in the lottery again.

description: Tomographic image reconstruction can be mapped to a problem of finding solutions to a large system of linear equations which maximize a function that includes \textit{a priori} knowledge regarding features of typical images such as smoothness or sharpness. This maximization can be performed with standard local optimization tools when the function is concave, but it is generally intractable for realistic priors, which are non-concave. We introduce a new method to reconstruct images obtained from Radon projections by using Expectation Propagation, which allows us to reframe the problem from an Bayesian inference perspective. We show, by means of extensive simulations, that, compared to state-of-the-art algorithms for this task, Expectation Propagation paired with very simple but non log-concave priors, is often able to reconstruct images up to a smaller error while using a lower amount of information per pixel. We provide estimates for the critical rate of information per pixel above which recovery is error-free by means of simulations on ensembles of phantom and real images.

description: We describe a dynamical worldsheet origin for the Lagrangian describing the low-energy dynamics of a system of parallel D-branes. We show how matrix-valued collective coordinate fields for the D-branes naturally arise as couplings of a worldsheet sigma-model, and that the quantum dynamics require that these couplings be mutually noncommutative. We show that the low-energy effective action for the sigma-model couplings describes the propagation of an open string in the background of the multiple D-brane configuration, in which all string interactions between the constituent branes are integrated out and the genus expansion is taken into account, with a matrix-valued coupling. The effective field theory is governed by the non-abelian Born-Infeld target space action which leads to the standard one for D-brane field theory.

Enhancement of betatron X-rays through asymmetric laser wakefield generated in transverse density gradients

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Laser wakefield acceleration of electrons usually offers an axisymmetry around the laser propagation axis. Thus, the accelerating electrons that are focused on axis often execute small transverse oscillations. In this Article, we propose a simple scheme to break this symmetry, which enhances the transverse wiggling of electrons and boosts the betatron radiation emission. Through 3D particle-in-cell simulations, we show that sending the laser with a small angle of incidence on a transverse plasma density gradient generates an asymmetric wakefield. It first provokes injection and then increases the wiggling of the electrons through the transverse shifting of the wakefield axis which occurs when the laser pulse leaves the gradient. Consequently, we show that the radiated energy per unit of charge can increase by a factor $>20$ when using this scheme, and that the critical energy of the radiation quintuples compared with a reference case without the transverse density gradient.

The Moderating Effect of Intraoffice Group Dynamics on the Ambulation of SMS-Prompted Utah Tech Professionals
Creators: name: Moore, David Collins
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: This research examined the extent to which group membership affects the impact of text message activity prompts on daily step count. Two 17-member convenience samples were recruited from various software companies in Utah. The participants in the cohesive group unit sample worked in close proximity to one another in a single office, while the lone participants were recruited from and worked in separate offices. Participants’ daily step count baselines were established during the initial 2 weeks of the experiment, after which they were sent text message activity prompts twice per workweek day for the remaining 4 weeks. Step count data were monitored using digital wristband pedometers.
Statistical analyses, interviews, and surveys were conducted after the experiment was completed, and evidence supporting the idea that group membership increases the effectiveness of persuasive technology was found. These findings suggest office-based exercise programs utilizing persuasive technology in conjunction with group membership may be more effective than approaches without a social component.

Consistent and coherent relational representation learning
Creators: name: Stromfelt, Harry
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Achieving human-like general intelligence is a long-standing goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. A hallmark of this intelligence is the freeing of learned concepts from the particular experiences that led to their acquisition. In contrast, Deep Learning (DL) methods are typically unable to generalise in this manner. Inspired by this capacity, this thesis proposes and formalises a new approach to learning at the intersection of symbolic AI and representation learning. The contributions are as follows. Firstly, in the context of Lifelong Reinforcement Learning, trade-o↵s are explored between traditional deep Q-learning and architectures that explicitly incorporate relational abstractions. Results suggest that including such inductive biases can improve the lifelong learning performance of an agent. Next, disentangled representation learners, namely Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs), are combined with relation-decoders, towards obtaining stronger representations for downstream learning. The second contribution is to show that vanilla VAEs are susceptible to dataset ambiguities and may learn representations that fail to capture abstract properties of certain objects, negatively impacting downstream performance. Including an explicit relational inductive bias, however, mitigates this issue. Whilst the above approaches resemble the learning of abstract relational concepts, their semantics are unclear. The third contribution is the introduction of a formal framework for relation learning, taking inspiration from formal semantics in symbolic AI. In particular, formal definitions and conditions for the consistency and coherence of relational systems are presented, underpinned by soft-structures, a DL counterpart to the model-theoretic structure. As the final contribution, this thesis introduces a novel consistent and coherent relation-decoder model, Dynamic Comparator (DC), and a Partial Relation Transfer experimental setting that exposes the semantics of learned relations. Using a proposed practical consistency and coherence measurement, results show that DC is able to learn a more generalisable set of relations and suggest a strong correlation between soft-structure coherence and generalisation performance.

description: This thesis analyzes the relationship of socioeconomic and geographic variables upon the hospitality sector in metropolitan areas across the United States and Washington D.C. in particular. I focus on the effects of the aftermath of the ‘Great Recession’ of the late 2000s as a way to understand their significance upon an area’s recovery or function. The recovery of national metropolitan areas was measured through the percent growth in payroll from 2007 to 2011while the function was measured through the percent of payroll related to tourist activity and hospitality dollars per capita. A static picture of Washington D.C. was analyzed to gain an understanding of the number of employees in an establishment for 2010. A greater understanding of the relationship between these variables and the hospitality sector could lead to better decision-making processes for how to prioritize investments or emphasize an area.

Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Quantify Erosion Control Measures on a Reclaimed Central Utah Coal Mine
Creators: name: Brown, Christopher R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: For certain landscape reclamation efforts surrounding, the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining (UDOGM) utilizes a surface roughing technique called “pocking”. The process of pocking establishes closely spaced gouges approximately 1.2 meters in diameter and 0.5 meters deep across a reclaimed landscape in order to reduce surface erosion and promote plant growth on steep terrain in arid regions. Pocks are designed as a series of micro watersheds that trap water to aid in plant establishment and reduces overland flow of water. Over time vegetation grows within the pocks as they infill with sediment. While this method is considered an effective reclamation technique, its effectiveness has, to date, relied on observation only. This research will utilize consumer grade unmanned aerial systems (UASs) commonly known as “drones”, to develop a technique by which pocks can be monitored and the effectiveness of pocking can be quantified. To this end, UAS overflights spanning two years (2019-2020) resulted in high-resolution (2.5cm) ortho imagery as well as digital terrain data at the same resolution. A comparison of the data collected across these two years identified erosion and deposition within and between pocks as well as the establishment and spread of seeded vegetation. The results also identified a spatial pattern of landscape subsidence as the reclaimed landscape settled. We found that, with effective geographic control, low-cost, off-the-shelf, consumer grade drones are an effective tool to monitor and quantify changes in reclaimed landscapes.

description: Using a sample of about 123,000 stars with accurate 3D velocity measurements from the LAMOST-TGAS data, we confirm the kinematic signature of the Galactic warp found by Schönrich & Dehnen recently. The data reveal a clear trend of increasing mean vertical velocity $\overline{V_{z}}$ as a function of absolute vertical angular momentum $L_{z}$ and azimuthal velocity $V_ϕ$ for guiding center radius $R_{g}$ between 6.0 and 10.5 kpc. The trend is consistent with a large-scale Galactic warp. Similar to Schönrich & Dehnen, we also find a wave-like pattern of $\overline{V_{z}}$ versus $L_{z}$ with an amplitude of $\sim 0.9$ km s$^{-1}$ on a scale of $\sim 2.0$ kpc, which could arise from bending waves or a winding warp. Finally, we confirm a prominent, localized peak in $\overline{V_z}$ near $L_z \sim 2150$ kpc km s$^{-1}$ (corresponding to $R_{g} \sim 9$ kpc and $V_ϕ \sim 255$ km s$^{-1}$). The additional line-of-sight velocity information from LAMOST reveals that stars in this feature have a large, inward radial velocity of $V_{R} \sim -13.33 \pm 0.59$ km s$^{-1}$ and a small radial velocity dispersion $σ_{R} \sim 25.27 \pm 0.89$ km s$^{-1}$, suggesting that a stellar stream gives rise to this feature.

Clothing Construction Curriculum: Exploring Gender Inclusivity
Creators: name: Nilsen, ShaeLin M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Female students have traditionally dominated enrollment in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) courses (formerly Home Economics). However, gender diversity has recently increased in many FCS areas due to changes in gender stereotypes and career opportunities. This trend is evident at Utah State University, where gender diversity in clothing construction (i.e., sewing) courses has increased drastically since the creation of the Outdoor Product Design and Development degree program. This study evaluated students’ experiences in traditionally female-dominant clothing construction courses.
Gender-inclusive courses are crucial for a productive and safe learning environment for all students. Avoiding personal biases and cultivating a relevant curriculum are methods for creating a gender-inclusive curriculum. Utah State University clothing construction students completed an anonymous, online survey about their previous and current clothing construction courses. Survey questions examined feelings of belonging, relevancy of course content, and support students received from others.
One significant finding showed that female students have more previous clothing construction experience than male students. Thus, there are potential barriers to gender-diverse enrollment in clothing construction courses at the secondary level. The data also showed greater inclusivity in post-secondary clothing construction courses due to more gender diversity and course content relevancy. These findings are relevant to clothing construction and FCS instructors in secondary, post-secondary, and public spheres.

description: We investigate the infra-red stable fixed points of the Yukawa couplings in the minimal version of the supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation. Retaining only the R-parity violating couplings of higher generations, we analytically study the solutions of the renormalization group equations of these couplings together with the top- and b-quark Yukawa couplings. We show that only the B-violating coupling $λ^{''}_{233}$ approaches a non-trivial infra-red stable fixed point, whereas all other non-trivial fixed point solutions are either unphysical or unstable in the infra-red region. However, this fixed point solution predicts a top-quark Yukawa coupling which is incompatible with the top quark mass for any value of $\tanβ$.

description: The field of technical and professional communication (TPC) is solidly within the social justice turn that encourages TPC practitioners and scholars to consider how their work, if left unchecked, could perpetuate oppressive societal norms, such as racism. Increasing awareness of how technical communicators can combat oppression through coalitional action and through centering multiply marginalized and underrepresented (MMU) voices and experiences through inclusive research methodologies are important components towards equity in TPC. This dissertation presents five accepted publications that demonstrate how narrative methodologies and coalitional work function to enhance scholarly activism and work towards equity. These five publications are thoroughly introduced and put into conversation together in order to draw conclusions about the four phases of social justice in TPC.

description: We show that toric geometry can be used rather effectively to translate a brane configuration to geometry. Roughly speaking the skeletons of toric space are identified with the brane configurations. The cases where the local geometry involves hypersurfaces in toric varieties (such as P^2 blown up at more than 3 points) presents a challenge for the brane picture. We also find a simple physical explanation of Batyrev's construction of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds using T-duality.

description: We prove the existence and uniqueness, up to a shift in time, of curved traveling fronts for a reaction-advection-diffusion equation with a combustion-type nonlinearity. The advection is through a shear flow $q$. This analyzes, for instance, the shape of flames produced by a Bunsen burner in the presence of advection. We also give a formula for the speed of propagation of these conical fronts in terms of the well-known speed of planar pulsating traveling waves.

Climate-Driven Impacts of Warming and Grazing on Sub-Arctic Coastal Wetlands in Alaska
Creators: name: Choi, Ryan T.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Climate change is rapidly warming the Arctic, especially at lower latitudes. Warmer temperatures and earlier springs are altering the timing of plants and animals, especially for long-distance migratory herbivores. Changes in the timing of both plants and herbivores have the potential to impact plant productivity and nutrient cycling, while also altering plant community diversity and composition.
In chapter 2, I conducted a field experiment to investigate how earlier growing seasons and differences in arrival times of migratory geese influence physical traits of sedge forage species. I found that both an earlier growing season and late grazing by geese had similar effects on plant traits but delays in grazing had a greater effect than a change in spring.
In chapter 3, I examined how earlier springs and differences in timing of goose herbivores affect soil nitrogen availability in sedge grazing lawns. I found that both earlier growing season and early grazing by geese increased soil nitrogen, while late grazing decreased soil nitrogen. However, early grazing resulted in a greater increase in soil nitrogen than an earlier growing season.
In chapter 4, I investigated how warming and grazing interact to affect plant community diversity and composition in three different coastal wetland plant communities. I found that both warming and grazing increase community diversity but can also interact to mediate or synergistically increase community effects. Grazing decreased dominant grasses but increased low-lying forbs, while warming had little effect on functional groups across different communities.

Remark on the vectorlike nature of the electromagnetism and the electric charge quantization

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this work we study the structure of the electromagnetic interactions and the electric charge quantization in gauge theories of electroweak interactions based on semi-simple groups. We show that in the standard model of the electroweak interactions the structure of the electromagnetic interactions is strongly correlated to the quantization pattern of the electric charges. We examine these two questions also in all possible chiral bilepton gauge models of the electroweak interactions. In all they we can explain the vectorlike nature of the electromagnetic interactions and the electric charge quantization together demanding nonvanishing fermion masses and the anomaly cancellations.

Dietary Shifts Related to Water Availability and the Demographic Response to Changing Prey Abundance of Carnivores in the West Desert, Utah
Creators: name: Hodge, Ashley E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: The decrease in number and range of North American large carnivores, has often all owed smaller carnivores ( < 15 kg) to fill the role of the top predator. This has favored some carnivores such as coyotes (Canis latrans), who have expanded their distribution. Other small carnivores such as kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis) have experienced a range shrinkage and their population status throughout the United States is a concern. Historically, western U.S. natural resource management agencies installed artificial water sources to assist desert wildlife, but some researchers believe the access to water allowed more coyotes to live in Utah’s West Desert. In the late-1980s, research proposed that without free drinking water, coyotes would have to triple their food consumption to survive. More recent coyote research has found no evidence to support these claims. We used data collected between 2010 and 2013 on the U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) in Utah’s West Desert to examine if the coyotes’ changed their diet when drinking water was removed and to determine how kit foxes respond to changing prey abundance. We examined coyote scats to see if they shifted towards eating more large-bodied prey (i.e., leporids such as jackrabbits and cottontails) in the areas void of drinking water. We found no evidence of a dietary shift towards larger prey to meet energy requirements in the areas where there was no available free water. Our results, in addition to previous DPG research, provide strong evidence that coyotes in the West Desert are desert-adapted carnivores and are not influenced by artificial water sources. The 4-year DPG dataset also allowed us to investigate if kit fox litter sizes and pup survival changed when prey abundance changed. We found no connection between kit fox litter size and rodent or leporid abundance. However, we found a 3-fold increase in kit fox pup survival in 2012 when rodent abundance nearly doubled. Diet analysis of kit fox scats showed four prey categories (rodent, insect, kangaroo rat, leporid) represented 78.5% occurrence of all prey items. We found that kit foxes changed their diet when kangaroo rat abundance changed. As prey resources have changed over the last 60 years, the DPG kit foxes have shown to be flexible in their diet by shifting away from their historical leporid use to now heavily relying on rodents. In addition to more research on kit foxes, we recommend that future studies also focus on their prey populations to help ensure the future of the West Desert kit fox.
