description: We propose to use atmospheric modeling and observations of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonyl sulfide (COS), and radiocarbon in CO2 (14CO2) in order to improve gross surface flux estimates of CO2 from biogenic processes in an urban setting. With some of the most impacting and far reaching greenhouse gas (GHG) reducing initiatives occurring at the local and municipal levels, scientific guidance is required to better understand the effect of urban ecosystems on the flux of CO2 and other GHGs from metropolitan areas. Currently, our scientific understanding is limited by the inability to identify the individual components of the net surface CO2 flux that includes anthropogenic emissions, photosynthetic uptake (GPP), and ecosystem respiration (R). We will be the first ever to incorporate observations of 14CO2 and COS into a regional-to-urban scale atmospheric analysis, thereby providing the constraints needed to improve estimates of gross CO2 ecosystem fluxes from an urban area. 14CO2, which is absent from fossil fuels, in conjunction with regular CO2, will constrain the fossil fuel emissions and net ecosystem exchange (NEE) in the model. COS is removed from the atmosphere primarily through the same photosynthetic pathways that remove CO2, but, unlike CO2, is taken up irreversibly, and thereby provides the additional constraint needed to partition NEE into GPP and R. This project will take advantage of the unique and highly complementary expertise in COS modeling at the UC Merced Sierra Nevada Research Institute, atmospheric observations at the LLNL Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, and carbon cycle modeling at LLNL while providing mentorship to a UC graduate student and post-doc, support for an early career UC faculty member, a foundation for alternative funding from DOE's Office of Biological and Environmental Research, and a new link between the distinguished earth systems programs at UC Merced and LLNL.
The role of Period 2 gene in mediating alcohol effects on metabolic signals in proopiomelanocortin producing neurons
Creators: name: Agapito, Maria
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: An increasing body of knowledge suggests that fetal alcohol exposure disrupts circadian homeostasis and metabolic functions. In order to determine the mechanism by which fetal alcohol exposure alters the metabolic functions, we determined the postnatal ethanol-induced changes in the function of Proopiomelanocortin (Pomc) neurons known to regulate metabolic homeostasis. Additionally, we evaluated the role of a clock regulatory gene, Period 2 (Per2), in mediation of alcohol effects on Pomc neurons. To determine the interaction between alcohol and Per2 on β-endorphin neuronal activity, we first measured the secretion of this peptide from mediobasal hypothalamic (MBH) cells of postnatal mice in primary cultures following treatment with ethanol for various time periods. We found that ethanol acutely stimulated but chronically inhibited β-endorphin secretion in vitro and these effects of ethanol on β-endorphin secretion were absent following Per2 mutation. We also evaluated the effect of the clock gene mutation on postnatal alcohol programming of Pomc and metabolic genes expression in the hypothalamus.  For this, We measured the levels of Pomc and various metabolic genes (Stat3, Sirt1, Asb4 and Pgc1α) and Pomc gene products β-endorphin and α-melanocyte stimulating (α-MSH) hormone in the MBH of alcohol-treated Per2 mutant and wild type mice at postnatal day & and 90. Postnatal ethanol exposures suppressed Pomc and metabolic genes and Pomc-derived products β-endorphin and α-MSH in the MBH for a prolonged period of time.  Per2 mutation prevented these effects of postnatal ethanol on Pomc and metabolic genes.  Furthermore, in order to determine the effect of Per2 gene deletion on postnatal alcohol programming of the circadian expression of metabolic genes in Pomc neurons, we created an Egfp- Pomc -Per2 mutant mice and employed these mice to determine gene expression in Laser captured isolated Pomc expressing neurons.  We found that postnatal ethanol exposures permanently altered circadian expression of Pomc and metabolic genes in Pomc neurons.  Per2 mutation prevented the postnatal ethanol-induced alteration of metabolic genes in Pomc neurons. Together, these data suggest that early life exposure to ethanol alters metabolic sensing in Pomc expressing neurons possibly via regulation of Per2 gene.

Simulation of concentration polarization at a microchannel-nanochannel interface
Creators: name: Berardi, David A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: When an electric field is applied to a microchannel-nanochannel junction for a nanochannel with overlapping electric double layers (EDL), a microvortex instability is produced at the interface. By incorporating nanochannels within microfluidic systems, functional lab-on-a-chip devices have been created for sample preparation, separation, and detection. Understanding ion transport and hydrodynamics in these systems is critical to fluid manipulation. The present numerical study models steady-state electrokinetically-driven flow in a hybrid microchannel-nanochannel system containing a cylindrical nanochannel with overlapping double layers connected to reservoirs on either side. The transport of potassium and chlorine ions was simulated in this system for a range of applied voltages. Ion concentration and fluid flow were studied at the microchannel-nanochannel interface, using large reservoirs to capture the role of ion depletion and microvortices. Microvortex instability was observed near the channel inlet. The vortices were shown to grow with increasing voltage. It was found that at a critical voltage, the vortex separated into multiple vortices, coinciding with a large drop of ionic current in the channel.

description: Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs within hot ionized gases called plasmas. It often produces an explosive release of energy as magnetic fields are reconfigured and destroyed. This process plays an important role in diverse applications such as solar flares, laboratory fusion machines and the Earth’s magnetosphere – a magnetic bubble that partially shields our planet from energetic particles. Reconnection gives rise to leaks in this shield, which can damage or destroy satellites. It may also generate highly energetic particles, which are of deep scientific interest in astrophysics. Reconnection is usually triggered within current sheets where moving electrical charges produce a rotation in the magnetic field. With the development of petascale computers, it is now becoming possible to model the physics rigorously while accounting for realistic three-dimensional (3D) effects. These simulations feature the formation and interaction of helical magnetic structures, known as flux ropes, which are intrinsically 3D in nature. There is growing evidence that flux ropes are a basic building block of 3D magnetic reconnection and may naturally lead to turbulence. The goal of this project is to investigate the formation and interaction of flux ropes using a combination of theory, large-scale computer simulations and laboratory experiments. This project will focus on new current sheet configurations, which can be experimentally generated in the Large Plasma Device at UCLA. Extensive diagnostic capabilities that fully probe the 3D dynamics will allow the first detailed measurements of flux rope generation. To understand this process, we will perform 3D kinetic simulations by exploiting the largest supercomputers in the U.S. These research efforts will permit the first detailed 3D comparisons between simulation and experiments, which will significantly advance the scientific understanding of magnetic reconnection.
Determination of the dynamic response of bridges from accelerometer data
Creators: name: Beltran, Miguel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Debonding of reinforcement in highway bridge decks can result from vibrations induced by large vehicular live loads in adjacent lanes.  These detrimental effects can be evaluated by comparing rebar vibrations during concrete setting to experimentally established limits in terms of peak particle velocity.  However, methods of directly measuring rebar velocity are limited.  It is often more feasible to process accelerometer measurements to obtain velocity data indirectly, but common processing techniques such as direct integration will produce errors due to unknown, non-zero initial values combined with random noise on the structure.  Using a combination of numerical and subjective analyses to mitigate the various sources of error, an approach is developed to estimate velocities and displacements from raw accelerometer data.  Initial calibration of the algorithm is achieved by conducting a comprehensive field testing program for two independent highway bridges.  The estimated dynamic response of the bridge girders compare well with the measurements taken by a Laser Doppler Vibrometer in the field.  In most cases, the time histories of velocity and displacement are accurately predicted by the algorithm.       The response of a bridge superstructure is monitored for an extended period, encompassing the pour of two full spans and several hours after initial concrete placement.  The investigation is performed systematically; starting with the girders, progressing to the bridge deck, and culminating in the determination of rebar velocity relative to the surrounding concrete deck.  Comparison with established vibration limits suggests that the vibrations during the concrete initial setting period should not pose any significant risk of debonding.

On the overwhelming importance of shaping the far future
Creators: name: Beckstead, Nicholas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: In slogan form, the thesis of this dissertation is that shaping the far future is overwhelmingly important. More precisely, I argue that:  Main Thesis: From a global perspective, what matters most (in expectation) is that we do what is best (in expectation) for the general trajectory along which our descendants develop over the coming millions, billions, and trillions of years.    The first chapter introduces some key concepts, clarifies the main thesis, and outlines what follows in later chapters. Some of the key concepts include: existential risk, the world's development trajectory, proximate benefits and ripple effects, speeding up development, trajectory changes, and the distinction between broad and targeted attempts to shape the far future. The second chapter is a defense of some methodological assumptions for developing normative theories which makes my thesis more plausible. In the third chapter, I introduce and begin to defend some key empirical and normative assumptions which, if true, strongly support my main thesis. In the fourth and fifth chapters, I argue against two of the strongest objections to my arguments. These objections come from population ethics, and are based on Person-Affecting Views and views according to which additional lives have diminishing marginal value. I argue that these views face extreme difficulties and cannot plausibly be used to rebut my arguments. In the sixth and seventh chapters, I discuss a decision-theoretic paradox which is relevant to my arguments. The simplest plausible theoretical assumptions which support my main thesis imply a view I call fanaticism, according to which any non-zero probability of an infinitely good outcome, no matter how small, is better than any probability of a finitely good outcome. I argue that denying fanaticism is inconsistent with other normative principles that seem very obvious, so that we are faced with a paradox. I have no solution to the paradox; I instead argue that we should continue to use our inconsistent principles, but we should use them tastefully. We should do this because, currently, we know of no consistent set of principles which does better.

description: Nine ginger powders from various parts of the world have been studied for their antioxidant strength by way of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl  (DPPH) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC).  Of those tested, it was found that the acetone extract of Nigerian ginger from Synthite had the greatest antioxidant power.   The extract was fractionated using the SepBox® and each fraction collected was tested for its ORAC value.  The fractions with the greatest ORAC values are listed in increasing order, and were identified and confirmed by LC/MS/UV, MS/MS and HRMS: [6]-gingerdiol, octahydrocurcumin, [6]-gingerol, [4]-gingerdiol and hexahydrocurcumin.  Select concentrations of each antioxidant were added to a single-fold Argentinian lemon oil, which were then placed in a thermally accelerated storage chamber for four weeks.  Upon removal, the lemon oils were analyzed by GC, measured for their peroxide values and tasted by an expert citrus panel in a high-acid tasting solution.    From the initial tasting, the two most preferred samples contained the antioxidants, tocopherols and tetrahydrocurcumin, which were also the two samples with the lowest peroxide values.  Regarding the individual attributes, however, there weren’t significant sensory differences between the oils; therefore, the tasting solutions of these oils were placed in the chamber for an additional two weeks. The sequential tasting revealed that hexahydrocurcumin was the most effective antioxidant in preserving the flavor quality of the lemon beverage.  These findings prove that incorporating antioxidants can improve the flavor and stability lemon oil.
An experimental and theoretical analysis of two and three phase epoxy based piezoelectric composites
Creators: name: Banerjee, Sankha
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: New composite materials and devices are been investigated by researchers in the fields of energy harvesting, structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil and mechanical structures and acoustic attenuation. The criteria that govern the applicability of these types of devices are their sensitivity and durability, which depend on electromechanical properties such as the dielectric constant, piezoelectric strain coefficient, and the dielectric loss. The present work investigates the role of Aluminum and PZT inclusions distributed in an epoxy matrix to fabricate composites with high dielectric and strain coefficients. The influence of Aluminum inclusion size (nano and micron) and (lead zirconate titanate) PZT and Aluminum volume fraction on the electromechanical properties of the three phase PZT-epoxy-aluminum composites were experimentally investigated. An analytical expression for the prediction of the effective dielectric constant of a three phase 0-3-0 piezoelectric composite has also been developed. The analytical results are verified with the experimental results from Nan et al. The analytical model is also extended to include the shape of a conductive inclusion phase; to examine the influence of the shape on the effective dielectric constant of the composite. The electromechanical properties of the composites are influenced by several factors: inclusion agglomeration, contact resistance between particles, and air voids. The present work studies the influence of these factors on the effective electromechanical properties of the composite.

ZooBank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 1DF58A15- AE63-4686-BEE0-9511F9971FFF.
Type species: Arius augustus Roberts, 1978.
Diagnosis
The genus Megalosciades is defined based on unique characters of external morphology reported by Roberts (1978) in the species description: extremely short maxillary barbel; very small eye; broad head and broad mouth.
Etymology
Named for the disproportionally large head of the type species in comparison to those observed in Sciades and close relatives. Gender: masculine.
Included species
Megalosciades augustus Roberts, 1978.
Habitat and distribution: Freshwater, southern New Guinea (Fig. 38).
Remarks
Over that past two decades, Megalosciades augustus has been treated by different authors as a valid species in three different genera: Arius, Nemapteryx, and Neoarius. Molecular data (Betancur-R. 2009) does not support the inclusion of that species within any of those genera, nor does it appear to be the sister group of any of them. Although BI and ML analyses support the inclusion of Megalosciades augustus in Cochlefelis, the two genera are externally very distinct (Figs 45, 53) and the absence of internal morphological data makes it impossible to establish a diagnosis. This is an unstable situation, which may be resolved by assigning that enigmatic species to its own genus, within which it can remain until a discoverery that its phylogenetic position is actually embedded within another genus.

Effect of sintering time and composition of sintering aids on the core-rim microstructure and material properties of spark plasma sintered silicon carbide
Creators: name: Bagienski, Steven E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Silicon carbide is an industrial ceramic used for many applications.  Due to its complicated crystal structure, many different types exist and can be made to have a “core-rim” microstructure in individual grains.  In this work, SiC samples were processed via a co-precipitation and spark plasma sintered to examine the core-rim microstructure by altering the sintering time when spark plasma sintered, the additive amounts, and the polytype composition.  Samples were characterized via density, hardness, FESEM, XRD, and Raman analysis depending on the type of samples.  The density and hardness of samples showed that the samples for the dwell time studied were densified but the ones of varying polytype were not.   The hardness generally increased with longer sintering dwell times, whereas the density measurements were too similar to discern any appreciable difference between samples.  The extent of the core-rim structure as seen from FESEM images had a large variability, but preliminary results hint at less core-rim features with longer dwell times.  The XRD results were typical of the materials present in the sample and showed a SiO2 phase.

Model-based Bayesian reinforcement learning with generalized priors

description: Effectively leveraging model structure in reinforcement learning is a difficult task, but failure to do so can result in computer agents that repeatedly take sub-optimal actions, despite having enough information to perform better. The Bayesian approach is a principled and well-studied method for leveraging model structure, and it is useful to use in the reinforcement learning setting.    This dissertation studies different methods for bringing the Bayesian approach to bear for model-based reinforcement learning agents, as well as different models that can be used. The contributions include several examples of models that can be used for learning MDPs, and two novel algorithms, and their analyses, for using those models for efficient exploration: BOSS and BFS3.    The Bayesian approach to model-based reinforcement learning provides a principled method for incorporating prior knowledge into the design of an agent, and allows the designer to separate the problems of planning, learning and exploration.  The BOSS and BFS3 algorithms are efficient (polynomial time) mechanisms for decision making within this framework with provable bounds on their accuracy.

Boxing in Mexico
Creators: name: Allen, Stephen D.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation analyzes how, through the violent sport of boxing, Mexicans imagined their nation’s position within the world in the mid to late twentieth century. Examining changes within the social context of the sport from the end of World War II to the Debt Crisis of 1982, I argue that boxing was essential to constructing Mexican national identity and fashioning a specifically Mexican modernity. The period between 1946 and 1982 was one of relative optimism in Mexican history. Mexican elites hoped that the Mexican nation would attain ‘First World’ status. At the same time, Mexican boxers won several world championships and, with the support of Mexican and Mexican-American fans, played a key role in Los Angeles’ rise as the center for pugilistic activity in the United States.  These successes allowed boxers to become important components of a Mexican national culture that was simultaneously cosmopolitan, nationalist, and masculine.  Focusing on the gendered performances of boxers inside and outside of the ring, this research reveals how Mexicans used boxing to debate what it meant to be Mexican and masculine during this period.
