description: Data Anlaytic techniques have enhanced human ability to solve a lot of data related  problems. It has opened a window through which an analyst can devise techniques  to solve a given problem by just looking at the related data alone. Such techniques  may not be directly visible to the programmer. Machine learning in short is programming  computers to generate such algorithm to solve a given problem using example  data or past experience. Numerous models or functions can be developed which fits  a distribution of data points. The magnitude and breadth of this data plays a major  role in determining which model fits best. In the current world, data is growing at  an alarming rate both in terms of size and the information it conveys. Analytics on  large-scale data requires very high execution time with limited resources. Implementing  such techniques to generate different models on a single machine becomes tedious and  time consuming. Implementing the same on a distributed network is a possible solution  which is highly interesting and challenging. Data Analytic Algorithms, to create these  models, should be carefully chosen on the basis of reliability and data integrity and at  the same time should be easily distributable. The range of algorithms should be wide  enough to incorporate the same analytics on all the data with required performance.  An analysis of various metrics such as measure of scalability, accuracy, execution time  helps classify individual algorithm’s impact on the required performance. The above  metrics are highly dependent on the data, type of algorithm, and type of platform under  consideration.  This work proposes a unique system for Scalable Data Analytics and gives an analysis  of its scalability. It also shows how this system implements a unique way of ensemble  learning in useful time without compromising on accuracy. Finally it demonstrates  scalability on two levels 1. Scalability at an individual algorithm level 2. Scalability at  implementing ensemble learning for different use cases.

description: The purpose of this paper is to outline the steps necessary for the development of a comprehensive conservation and management plan for the building known as the Palazzo Imperiale at Ostia Antica in Italy, utilizing a combination of the APPEAR method developed by Warnotte et al, and the values-based approach put forth by Demas. The current condition of the Palazzo is in a deteriorating state, and intervention will be necessary soon if the proposed plan is to be cost effective. Assessing the condition of the structure, its decorative elements (mosaics), its place within the Ostia Archaeological Park, and its future sustainable management will all be considered as components to a successful intervention at this site.

Habitat and distribution: Fresh, brackish, and marine waters, southern New Guinea and Australia (Fig. 38).
Remarks
The MP and BI analyses support the monophyly of Neoarius in contrast to previous morphological studies, which treated the group as asynonymof Ariopsis (Kailola2004) orasavalidgenus (Marceniuk and Menezes 2007, Marceniuk et al. 2012). This study supports the inclusion of Neoarius midgleyi and two currently unnamed species into the genus (Betancur-R. 2009) and renders Amissidens (type species: Arius hainesi Kailola, 2000) into synonymy.

Literature records.
Amin and Mawlood (2019, as A. bakrajoensis)
Remarks.
Amin and Mawlood (2019) described A. bakrajoensis from Bakrajo in Iraqi Kurdistan. They diagnosed it against A. (Simandrena) vetula Lepeletier, 1841, but based on the description and the provided photographs it is clearly a member of the subgenus Holandrena Pérez, 1890 due to the predominantly declivous propodeum (almost without a dorsal horizontal area), strong tergal hairbands, and compact body with rounded head. Based on the long ocelloccipital distance (3 × the diameter of a lateral ocellus), it can only be a single species, A. variabilis. Andrena bakrajoensis is therefore synonymised with A. variabilis. The distribution maps of Gusenleitner and Schwarz (2002) do not positively indicate the presence of A. variabilis in Iraq, though some dots are present around the Tigris and Euphrates deltas in southern Iraq. However, A. variabilis is a widely distributed species in Turkey and Iran (Gusenleitner and Schwarz 2002; Wood and Monfared 2022), and so its presence in Iraq is expected and demonstrated through this synonymy.

description:
BACKGROUND: Consortium for Food Allergy Research investigators previously reported 52-week outcomes from a randomized controlled trial of peanut epicutaneous immunotherapy, observing modest and statistically significant induction of desensitization, highest in children ages 4 to 11 years. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate changes in efficacy, safety, and mechanistic parameters following extended open-label peanut epicutaneous immunotherapy. METHODS: Peanut-allergic participants (4-25 years) received 52 weeks of placebo (PLB), Viaskin Peanut 100 μg (VP100) or 250 μg (VP250), and then crossed over to VP250 for PLB (PLB-VP250) and VP100 (VP100-VP250) participants and continued treatment for VP250 participants (total = 130 weeks of active epicutaneous immunotherapy). Efficacy was assessed by double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (5044 mg peanut protein), and adherence, safety, and mechanistic parameters were evaluated. RESULTS: At week 130, desensitization success was achieved in 1 of 20 (5%) PLB-VP250, 5 of 24 (20.8%) VP100-VP250, and 9 of 25 (36%) VP250 participants, with median successfully consumed dose change from baseline of 11.5 mg, 141.5 mg, and 400 mg, respectively. Median age (years) for week 130 desensitization success was 6.2 years (interquartile range, 5.2-9.1) versus 9.4 years (interquartile range, 7.6-12.8) for failures (P < .001). Adherence was 96%. Adverse reactions were predominantly local patch-site reactions. Significant increases in peanut- and Ara h2-specific IgG4 observed at week 52 persisted to week 130. By a post hoc analysis, there were no statistically significant increases from week 52 to week 130 in either desensitization success or successfully consumed dose. CONCLUSIONS: Extended treatment with VP250 was well tolerated, and desensitization observed at week 52 persisted between weeks 52 and 130. Treatment success was observed predominantly in younger participants, with younger age at initiation of active therapy an important predictor of success.

description: Nanoporous carbon-based and, more specifically, graphitic materials are expected to play a key role in many energy related application such as batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. In all these devices transport of the electrolyte at the nanoscale as well as the screening length of charged surfaces determine proper functioning of the systems. For the energy applications, room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) exhibit several advantages as electrolyte medium including a tunable electrochemical window and viscosity, temperature stability, and negligible vapor pressure. However, the effect of nanoscale confinement on the transport behavior of the bulky ions constituting RTILs is poorly understood. Also, it is unclear if conventional classical theory of electrolytes (treated as point charges) can accurately describe the range of electrostatic interactions in RTILs. To advance the fundamental understanding of these nanofluidic phenomena relevant to energy applications, we will investigate RTIL transport through graphitic nanopores. We will use a single carbon nanotube (CNT) as nanofluidic pore, with diameter ranging from sub 1 to 5 nm. Range of electrostatic interactions with charged groups on the CNT pores will be accessed by monitoring the pure RTIL conductivity as function of the pore size, and the conductivity of aqueous RTIL solutions as a function of RTIL content (i.e., ionic strength). By functionalizing CNT rim with amines and changing the size of RTIL ions as well as pH, we will investigate/decouple entropic and steric barriers that RTILs may experience to enter/transport through a nanopore. This research program is strongly aligned with LLNL topical priority "Materials for Energy Research" and with LLNL mission. The proposed work leverages the unique expertise of two research groups on the field of CNT nanofluidics (LLNL) and small ion/RTIL transport in nanopores (UCI), and it is expected to build the basis for a long lasting collaboration among the two research groups and institutions.

description: The ability to store and efficiently search large-scale graphs is becoming increasingly important as we seek to model Internet-scale phenomena. Graphs are used in a wide range of fields including Computer Science, Biology, Chemistry, and the Social Sciences. These graphs may represent complex relationships between people, proteins, chemical compounds, etc. Processing large graphs is a challenging problem in data-intensive computing in general, and specifically is a major thrust area for several LLNL national security programs in homeland security and defense. Over the past three years, the LLNL project team have pioneered a new cost-effective, high performance approach to processing large social network graphs. Our approach won us 7th place in the June 2011 competition, the data intensive analog to the the Top 500. By utilizing enterprise grade Flash storage arrays directly attached to a high performance compute server, we were able to process graphs using a single compute server, a task that previously required the world's largest supercomputers. Concurrently UCSD/SDSC has been at the forefront of data intensive architectures with their Gordon supercomputer that incorporates Flash storage into the compute cluster fabric, and the Moneta project which has created the first nonvolatile device based on PCM (Phase Change Memory), and is using these advanced architectures to explore Twitter data. In the proposed project LLNL and UCSD will team to combine our collective infrastructure, software tools, and algorithms. We will develop new algorithms, optimized to data-intensive supercomputing architectures, that will analyze dynamic time-varying social network graphs for formation and evolution of cohesive sub-groups. This project will enable a new level of collaboration between LLNL and UCSD. While both organizations have separately made substantial investments in data intensive computing, we have not as yet been able to collaborate closely on critical research challenges.

description: Imaging seismic structure of the earth's crust and upper mantle at high-resolution is essential to gain better understanding of the dynamics of our planet. It is also relevant to the National Labs' mission in the areas of seismic hazard assessment, enhanced energy production (geothermal, gas, shale oil), nuclear test treaty monitoring. With the advent of powerful numerical methods such as the Spectral Element Method (SEM) for accurate computation of the seismic wavefield in complex media, it is now possible to construct 3D earth models that satisfy full seismic waveforms at increasingly high frequencies. The production of such models requires handling complex misfit functions with more than one local minimum. Standard inversion methods (such as gradient methods) do not provide a means of estimating true model uncertainties. However, stochastic methods that can sample the space of possible solutions efficiently are prohibitively challenging computationally. We propose to combine the power of stochastic methods with the accuracy of SEM, in such a way as to minimize the size of the computational problem, while not restricting the number of parameters below what the data can resolve. This involves: (1) Regionalizing the study area to define provinces within which lateral variations are smooth; (2) Applying trans-dimensional stochastic inversion to obtain accurate 1D models in each province as well as the corresponding error distribution, and connecting these models laterally using data-driven smoothing operators to obtain a starting 3D model with errors; (3) Applying adjoint waveform tomography using SEM, until convergence. We will develop and apply this methodology in the context of the north American continent, where free access to broadband seismic data is warranted. This work relies on access to High-Performance Computing resources at LANL. It combines complementary expertise in HPC and stochastic methods at LANL and in waveform tomography at UC Berkeley.

description: It has been fifty-one years since the last Lambert, Hendricks & Ross studio recording. Since then Dave Lambert was tragically killed on the Connecticut Turnpike, Jon Hendricks has become a University of Toledo professor, and Annie Ross is still performing frequently worldwide. Few jazz vocalists are accepted into the scholastic canon. Fewer are filed in the annals of music history. But, if any vocalists should be regarded important to the story of jazz music it is LHR. Their impact on the art of vocalese has yet to be fully felt. In exploring the motivation behind the group’s dense, meticulous, trailblazing recordings, this study attempts to be a supplement for what was too much for liner notes in the late 50’s and 60’s, while simultaneously giving a brief encompassing historical outline. By examining the social and musical impact of Lambert Hendricks & Ross, this study attempts to further legitimate the art of jazz vocals and vocalese.

description: To understand the nuances, contradictions, and levels of agency in immigrant and African-American working class communities, this thesis examines the musical theater of Edward Harrigan, an American playwright whose plays were novel for their sympathetic portrayals of working-class Irish immigrants.  I analyze three of Harrigan’s popular plays in his Mulligan Guard series, the Mulligan Guard Ball, the Mulligan Guard Nominee, and Cordelia’s Aspirations.  Due to Harrigan’s emphasis on realism, the plays offer insight into the complex racial and ethnic negotiations and political machinations of the working class in Gilded Age New York.  I contend that they illustrate contestations over shared urban space between the Irish, Germans, and African Americans, where they engage in dialectic relationships that swayed from friendship to animosity, from collaboration to rivalry.  The plays also illuminate working-class perspectives of Tammany’s political machine.  Juxtaposed against middle-brow representations of the machine in political cartoons by Thomas Nast and Joseph Keppler, Harrigan’s works show the machine as an important avenue of social mobility rather than as a threat to American republicanism.  Harrigan’s plays show complexity in interethnic relations while offering subtle critiques of Tammany’s excesses and demonstrate the importance of practical politics over ideology for the working class.

Etymology
Derived from the Greek ‘para’ for ‘near’, highlighting its morphological similarity with the genus Cinetodus. Gender: masculine.
Included species
Paracinetodus carinatus Weber, 1913.
Habitat and distribution: Freshwater,southern New Guinea (Fig.38). Remarks
Arius carinatus was included in Cinetodus in previous morphological studies (Kailola 2004, Marceniuk and Menezes 2007, Marceniuk et al. 2012). The results of the total-evidence analysis place the species in a lineage distinct from that of Cinetodus, corroborating a previous molecular result (Betancur-R. 2009), and requiring the establishment of the new genus.

description: High average power, high repetition rate short pulse lasers (SPLs) are needed to enable future free electron lasers (FELs) and their applications in the soft X-ray spectral regime. SPLs are required for (1) generation of electrons at high average current and low emittance from photocathodes, and (2) control of the relativistic electrons in the high-energy accelerator and the FEL. Soft x-ray FELs are being considered for a new generation of light sources that will serve scientific and industrial users. Requirements for the SPLs are energies on the order of 10mJ, pulse widths on the order of 100fs-10ps and repetition rates on the order of 100kHz-1MHz, yielding average powers of 1-10kW. Fiber lasers are the most plausible candidates to achieve these goals. In this proposal, we describe a joint R&D activity to develop the architecture associated with short pulse fiber lasers at the forefront of science and technology. We propose a collaboration between LLNL and UC Berkeley laser groups. Our plan is to engage a graduate student in the Program in Applied Science from UC Berkeley in the joint effort, supervised by Prof. Roger Falcone of the Physics Department and the Program in Applied Science at UCB, and Dr. Mike Messerly of LLNL.

description: The extreme capacity of RNA viruses for rapid evolution is emerging as one of the key determinants of pathogenicity and virulence, as well as the driving force underlying the rapid emergence of new viral strains and the development of resistance to antiviral approaches. Despite its importance, few conceptual and experimental tools are currently available to study viral evolution and its relation to pathogenesis. We propose novel methods to examine viral evolution and its relationship with viral replication under a variety of environmental conditions and challenges. Our multidisciplinary collaborative approach will combine biological and virological experiments, novel genome analysis methods and novel computational modeling, and simulations to uncover basic principles of viral evolution. Our experiments will open the way to understand how the evolution of viral populations determines the outcome of infection. These approaches will have a major impact in vaccine development, on our ability to fight viral diseases and anticipating and controlling viral outbreaks.

description: We propose to complete construction, commission and utilize a dedicated high-pressure (P) and high-temperature (T) neutron beam line at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) for research in the Earth and material sciences. The proposed neutron instrument, LAPTRON (Los Alamos Pressure-Temperature Research Opportunities with Neutrons) will permit new experiments in neutron diffraction, thermal analysis, ultrasonic interferometry, neutron radiography, and computed tomography to be performed simultaneously at high P-T conditions. LAPTRON provides a unique and powerful platform to address novel, challenging Earth and materials science problems in areas such as crystallization, texturing, amorphization, hydrogen bonding, and phase transformations. Mineral physics interpretation of seismological data in the Earth’s deep interior requires the experimental determination of geomaterial properties at the relevant high P-T conditions. Recent advances in synthesis and characterization of bulk superhard and ultratough nanocomposites have demonstrated the importance, benefit, and needs for high P-T diffraction and integrated techniques. LAPTRON has been identified in the recently released “Capture Plan for Enhancing the Lujan Center” (LAUR-08-2137) as one of three new high priority instrument platforms for development at Lujan Neutron Scattering Center.

A detailed way to establish correlations between ionic currents in PD neurons of the crab Stomatogastric ganglion
Creators: name: Yu, Li
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Two electrically-coupled PD neurons in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG) of the crab, Cancer borealis are coupled with the pacemaker AB neuron. In recent years, several research groups have reported that a number of currents seem to be coexpressed in PD neurons, as revealed by a correlation in the amplitude of the currents, conductances or mRNA that codes for them. Among these currents, the correlations between the transient potassium outward current (IA), the high-threshold potassium outward current (IHTK) and the hyperpolarization-activated inward current (IH) are well established. Research also found that some of the currents may be coregulated constitutively, such as IA-IH, and some may be dependent on neuromodulators, such as IA-IHTK, and IHTK-IH. The study presented here uses a more detailed and different way to measure the maximal conductance of IA, IHTK, IH, with the goal of determining if current parameters other than the maximal conductance may be correlated. Here I also analyze possible relationships of the two known components of IHTK: the calcium-dependent potassium current (IKCa) and the delayed rectifier current (IKd). The results I have observed are consistent with the previous studies and confirm significant positive linear correlations between IA and IHTK, IA and IH, and IHTK and IH. Even though the sample number is limited, I have also established the correlation between the two components of IHTK: IKCa and IKd, which is a result that contrasts with those at the mRNA level in which no significant linear correlations between BK-KCa (a gene that encodes for IKCa) and shab (a gene that encodes for IKd), and BK-KCa and shaw (a gene also encodes for IKd) were found. The other new finding here is the correlation in maximal conductance between IKCa and IH, and IKd and IH, which is consistent with the correlation of BK-KCa and H (a gene that encodes for IH), and contrasts with the lack of significant correlations of shab and H, shaw and H.
Multisensory action perception

description: Human beings’ perceptual realities are, at their core, multisensory. Theories of multisensory perception posit that interactions between sensory systems are the product of intersensory agreement between low-level stimulus attributes such as timing, and high-level attributes such as meaning. Whether meaningful associations impact audiovisual action perception has been debated, with some researchers taking the fairly extreme position that effects based on high-level meaningful correspondences are particular to human speech. To address the questions of whether, and if so how, meaningful associations impact the multisensory perception of human actions, ten psychophysical experiments were undertaken.   In Experiments 1 and 2, participants detected upright and inverted point-light walkers presented silently within point-light masks, with the sounds of footsteps, or with pure tones. Supporting the hypothesis that meaningful associations influence audiovisual action sensitivity, results revealed superior visual sensitivity to upright walkers with meaningful sounds. Experiments 3 and 4 examined how sounds improve visual action sensitivity; specifically, whether meaningful sounds must be action-matched in order to influence visual action sensitivity. Results were equivocal in regards to the specific research question, but suggest future directions.  Experiments 5-6 addressed whether sounds’ influence on visual action sensitivity requires temporal synchrony. Results implied that meaningful sounds improve action sensitivity regardless of timing. Experiments &-9 addressed whether visual signal strength impacts audiovisual action perception, as predicted by the Principle of Inverse Effectiveness (PoIE). Results did not provide strong evidence for the PoIE, but rather showed that meaningful sounds can enhance perception of weak and strong visual signals alike. Experiment 10 explored how visual and motor experience impact audiovisual action perception. Collegiate athletes detected visual and audiovisual point-light actions with which they did and did not have extensive visual and motor experience. Results suggest that how action sounds impact visual sensitivity may relate to the typical action goals of the observer.  Taken together, these experiments illustrate the importance of meaningful associations in the perception of audiovisual actions. Specifically, these results support the hypothesis that meaningful associations do not impact multisensory speech perception exclusively, but rather social perception more generally. Furthermore, they inform current theories of multisensory processing, as well as perception-action coupling theories of human motion perception.

Effects of De Novo protein synthesis on cell spreading, formation of cell-cell contacts, and co-localization of proteins at cell contacts in IAR-2 cells
Creators: name: Sung, Linda
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Rat epithelial cells were treated with translational inhibitors in order to study their effect on cell spreading, the cell’s ability to form lasting cell-cell contacts, and protein co-localization at cell contacts. When cells were treated with translation inhibitors they were found to have similar cell lengths as wild-type, untreated cells up to the 3 hour time point. After 3 hours the translational-inhibitor-treated cells were found to decrease in size while the untreated cells continued to grow. The co-localization of E-cadherin and actin were studied at cell contacts between two cells and it was found in inhibitor-treated cells the co-localization of the two proteins actually increased compared to wild-type cells. Lastly, a 30-fold increase in the ability to make lasting cell contacts was found in wild-type, untreated cells compared to inhibitor treated cells. Altogether these data demonstrate that de novo protein synthesis is needed in order for cells to continue to properly grow and spread, for proteins to be synthesized and co-localize properly at cell-cell contacts, and for cells to make lasting, non-random, cell contacts.
Transforming academic knowledge for drug innovation

description: Academic-industry partnerships in biopharmaceuticals have been commonly arranged through firms licensing academic patents and universities receiving research grants and royalties.  However, this arrangement does not accommodate the complexity in science.  The research question of this dissertation is what kinds of social arrangements transform academic knowledge for complex innovation. I conducted interviews and field observations with scientists involved in drug discovery research. I developed a grounded theory on three dimensions of knowledge that characterize the boundaries for science-based complex innovation.      One dimension is the materiality of complex knowledge, which emphasizes on the situated and contextualized learning about how drugs work in the realities of human biology.  Another is the epistemic dimension, which highlights the ever-emergent nature of knowledge that motivates scientists to keep asking questions and drawing on rich scientific theories.  The third is the activity dimension that directs a purpose of multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists.  These dimensions reveal how scientists in the basic and clinical research communities go about creating and commercializing research for innovation.  I further examined how the current academic-industry arrangements bridge the two forms of boundaries, and concluded that social arrangements have to support scientists participating in situated learning, raising questions, and engaging in activities to iteratively validate emergent findings.    The contribution of this dissertation is threefold. My theory develops a deeper understanding of the content and substance of knowledge for biopharmaceutical innovation.  My in-depth examination of how academic discoveries mediate practices among scientists suggests that these dimensions can create a common ground for scientists, business managers, and investors to collaborate.  I also suggest the kinds of knowledge transformation that academic-industry partnerships need to accommodate to promote more effective collaboration.
