description: The impact of different light conditions during culture on the nitrogen, protein, colour, total phenolic content (TPC) and amino acid profile of Palmaria palmata biomass was investigated. P. palmata was cultured using different light regimes, i.e., white (1 and 2), red, blue and green over 12 days. A significant decrease (p < 0.05) in total nitrogen (TN), non-protein nitrogen (NPN) and protein nitrogen (PN) was observed on day 6 while an increase was observed on day 12 in P. palmata samples cultured under blue light. The protein content (nitrogen conversion factor of 4.7) of the initial sample on day 0 was 15.0% (w/w) dw whereas a maximum protein content of 16.7% (w/w) was obtained during exposure to blue light following 12 days culture, corresponding to an 11.2% increase in protein content. Electrophoretic along with amino acid profile and score analyses showed light-related changes in protein composition. The lighting regime used during culture also influenced the colour parameters (lightness L*, redness a*, yellowness b* and colour difference ∆E) of milled algal biomass along with the TPC. Judicious selection of lighting regime during culture may allow the targeted production of sustainable high-quality proteins from P. palmata.

description: MapReduce has emerged as a popular method to process big data. In the past few years, however, not just big data, but fast data has also exploded in volume and availability. Examples of such data include sensor data streams, the Twitter Firehose, and Facebook updates. Numerous applications must process fast data. Can we provide a MapReduce-style framework so that developers can quickly write such applications and execute them over a cluster of machines, to achieve low latency and high scalability? In this paper we report on our investigation of this question, as carried out at Kosmix and WalmartLabs. We describe MapUpdate, a framework like MapReduce, but specifically developed for fast data. We describe Muppet, our implementation of MapUpdate. Throughout the description we highlight the key challenges, argue why MapReduce is not well suited to address them, and briefly describe our current solutions. Finally, we describe our experience and lessons learned with Muppet, which has been used extensively at Kosmix and WalmartLabs to power a broad range of applications in social media and e-commerce.

description: Statistical analysis of occurrence rate of magnetic storms induced by different types of interplanetary drivers is made on the basis of OMNI data for period 1976-2000. Using our catalog of large scale types of solar wind streams we study storms induced by interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) (separately magnetic clouds (MC) and Ejecta) and both types of compressed regions: corotating interaction regions (CIR) and Sheaths. For these types of drivers we calculate integral probabilities of storms with minimum Dst < -50, -70, -100, -150, and -200 nT. The highest probability in this interval of Dst is observed for MC, probabilities for other drivers are 3-10 times lower than for MC. Extrapolation of obtained results to extreme storms shows that such a magnetic storm as Carrington storm in 1859 with Dst = -1760 nT is observed on the Earth with frequency 1 event during ~500 year.

description: We provide a pedagogical introduction to numerical linked-cluster expansions (NLCEs). We sketch the algorithm for generic Hamiltonians that only connect nearest-neighbor sites in a finite cluster with open boundary conditions. We then compare results for a specific model, the Heisenberg model, in each order of the NLCE with the ones for the finite cluster calculated directly by means of full exact diagonalization. We discuss how to reduce the computational cost of the NLCE calculations by taking into account symmetries and topologies of the linked clusters. Finally, we generalize the algorithm to the thermodynamic limit, and discuss several numerical resummation techniques that can be used to accelerate the convergence of the series.

description: Stream processing applications are deployed as continuous queries that run from the time of their submission until their cancellation. This deployment mode limits developers who need their applications to perform runtime adaptation, such as algorithmic adjustments, incremental job deployment, and application-specific failure recovery. Currently, developers do runtime adaptation by using external scripts and/or by inserting operators into the stream processing graph that are unrelated to the data processing logic. In this paper, we describe a component called orchestrator that allows users to write routines for automatically adapting the application to runtime conditions. Developers build an orchestrator by registering and handling events as well as specifying actuations. Events can be generated due to changes in the system state (e.g., application component failures), built-in system metrics (e.g., throughput of a connection), or custom application metrics (e.g., quality score). Once the orchestrator receives an event, users can take adaptation actions by using the orchestrator actuation APIs. We demonstrate the use of the orchestrator in IBM's System S in the context of three different applications, illustrating application adaptation to changes on the incoming data distribution, to application failures, and on-demand dynamic composition.

Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)

description: The last decade has seen the parallel emergence in computational neuroscience and machine learning of neural network structures which spread the input signal randomly to a higher dimensional space; perform a nonlinear activation; and then solve for a regression or classification output by means of a mathematical pseudoinverse operation. In the field of neuromorphic engineering, these methods are increasingly popular for synthesizing biologically plausible neural networks, but the "learning method" - computation of the pseudoinverse by singular value decomposition - is problematic both for biological plausibility and because it is not an online or an adaptive method. We present an online or incremental method of computing the pseudoinverse, which we argue is biologically plausible as a learning method, and which can be made adaptable for non-stationary data streams. The method is significantly more memory-efficient than the conventional computation of pseudoinverses by singular value decomposition.

description: We probe the local inhomogeneities of the electronic properties of graphene at the nanoscale using scanning probe microscopy techniques. First, we focus on the study of the electronic inhomogeneities caused by the graphene-substrate interaction in graphene samples exfoliated on silicon oxide. We find that charged impurities, present in the graphene-substrate interface, perturb the carrier density significantly and alter the electronic properties of graphene. This finding helps to understand the observed device-to-device variation typically observed in graphene-based electronic devices. Second, we probe the effect of chemical modification in the electronic properties of graphene, grown by chemical vapour deposition on nickel. We find that both the chemisorption of hydrogen and the physisorption of porphyrin molecules strongly depress the conductance at low bias indicating the opening of a bandgap in graphene, paving the way towards the chemical engineering of the electronic properties of graphene.

description: The chemical functionalization of graphene enables control over electronic properties and sensor recognition sites. However, its study is confounded by an unusually strong influence of the underlying substrate. In this paper, we show a stark difference in the rate of electron transfer chemistry with aryl diazonium salts on monolayer graphene supported on a broad range of substrates. Reactions proceed rapidly when graphene is on SiO_2 and Al_2O_3 (sapphire), but negligibly on alkyl-terminated and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) surfaces. The effect is contrary to expectations based on doping levels and can instead be described using a reactivity model accounting for substrate-induced electron-hole puddles in graphene. Raman spectroscopic mapping is used to characterize the effect of the substrates on graphene. Reactivity imprint lithography (RIL) is demonstrated as a technique for spatially patterning chemical groups on graphene by patterning the underlying substrate, and is applied to the covalent tethering of proteins on graphene.

description: Location-Based Service (LBS) is rapidly becoming the next ubiquitous technology for a wide range of mobile applications. To support applications that demand nearest-neighbor and history queries, an LBS spatial indexer must be able to efficiently update, query, archive and mine location records, which can be in contention with each other. In this work, we propose MOIST, whose baseline is a recursive spatial partitioning indexer built upon BigTable. To reduce update and query contention, MOIST groups nearby objects of similar trajectory into the same school, and keeps track of only the history of school leaders. This dynamic clustering scheme can eliminate redundant updates and hence reduce update latency. To improve history query processing, MOIST keeps some history data in memory, while it flushes aged data onto parallel disks in a locality-preserving way. Through experimental studies, we show that MOIST can support highly efficient nearest-neighbor and history queries and can scale well with an increasing number of users and update frequency.

Volynkin ” (MWM/ ZSM, ex CAV). Paratype: 1 male, same data as for holotype, gen. prep. No.: AV5908 (prepared by Volynkin) (CAV). Diagnosis. The forewing length is 10.5 mm in males. The new species (Figs 13, 14) is superficially similar to M. radaricola (Figs 11, 12) but differs in the narrower forewing (the length to width ratio is 1.5:1 vs. 1.85: 1 in M. radaricola), and the more diffuse forewing pattern. Compared to M. radaricola (Figs 21, 22), the male genital capsule of M. eugoana sp. nov. (Fig. 23) has a somewhat thinner uncus, a wider juxta, a more elongate valva with a more distally rounded distal lobe, a less setose sacculus and a longer and curved distal saccular process which is straight in M. radaricola. The phallus of the new species is shorter and narrower than that of M. radaricola. The vesica of M. eugoana sp. nov. is conspicuously shorter and narrower than in M. radaricola and has a smaller and membranous subbasal diverticulum which is granulated in M. radaricola. The medial diverticulum of the new species is conspicuously smaller and evenly granulated whereas it has a membranous basal section in M. radaricola. The lateral diverticulum of M. eugoana sp. nov. is positioned distally while it is positioned medially in M. radaricola. The lateral area of the vesica of the new species is membranous whereas it bears an elongate area of granulation in M. radaricola. Compared to M. radaricola, the terminal cornutus of M. eugoana sp. nov. is thicker and has a strongly dilated base (it is only slightly dilated basally in M. radaricola). Female unknown. Distribution. Known only from its type locality in North Thailand (Chiang Mai Province). Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the superficial similarity of the new species to monotonously colored members of the genus Eugoa Walker.

description: This paper describes our experience implementing PostgreSQL's new serializable isolation level. It is based on the recently-developed Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI) technique. This is the first implementation of SSI in a production database release as well as the first in a database that did not previously have a lock-based serializable isolation level. We reflect on our experience and describe how we overcame some of the resulting challenges, including the implementation of a new lock manager, a technique for ensuring memory usage is bounded, and integration with other PostgreSQL features. We also introduce an extension to SSI that improves performance for read-only transactions. We evaluate PostgreSQL's serializable isolation level using several benchmarks and show that it achieves performance only slightly below that of snapshot isolation, and significantly outperforms the traditional two-phase locking approach on read-intensive workloads.

description: Vibro-acoustography (VA) is a medical imaging method based on the difference-frequency generation produced by the mixture of two focused ultrasound beams. VA has been applied to different problems in medical imaging such as imaging bones, microcalcifications in the breast, mass lesions, and calcified arteries. The obtained images may have a resolution of 0.7--0.8 mm. Current VA systems based on confocal or linear array transducers generate C-scan images at the beam focal plane. Images on the axial plane are also possible, however the system resolution along depth worsens when compared to the lateral one. Typical axial resolution is about 1.0 cm. Furthermore, the elevation resolution of linear array systems is larger than that in lateral direction. This asymmetry degrades C-scan images obtained using linear arrays. The purpose of this article is to study VA image restoration based on a 3D point spread function (PSF) using classical deconvolution algorithms: Wiener, constrained least-squares (CLSs), and geometric mean filters. To assess the filters' performance, we use an image quality index that accounts for correlation loss, luminance and contrast distortion. Results for simulated VA images show that the quality index achieved with the Wiener filter is 0.9 (1 indicates perfect restoration). This filter yielded the best result in comparison with the other ones. Moreover, the deconvolution algorithms were applied to an experimental VA image of a phantom composed of three stretched 0.5 mm wires. Experiments were performed using transducer driven at two frequencies, 3075 kHz and 3125 kHz, which resulted in the difference-frequency of 50 kHz. Restorations with the theoretical line spread function (LSF) did not recover sufficient information to identify the wires in the images. However, using an estimated LSF the obtained results displayed enough information to spot the wires in the images.

description:
For my masters field project, I designed and ran a five-day week long summer program called Beach Investigators that teaches about the beach, and observing and investigating out surroundings. The Program aimed to provide 5th through 9th grade students with skill and internal motivation they could use to engage in more thoughtful and in-depth exploration of their local ecosystem. This program is based in Self Determination theory (SDT), which has the potential to aid in the aims and goals of EE. I found that SDT programming has the potential both increase student ecological knowledge, as well as increase motivation for continued self-driven learning in the short term. Because SDT can serve this purpose, it is likely to be add a powerful foundation to EE and outdoor education.

Our results show that the recent LHC data on the $R_{AA}$ for charged hadrons, D-mesons and non-photonic electrons agree reasonably with the pQCD picture of the parton energy loss with the dominating contribution from the radiative mechanism.

description: The observed flux of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic rays (CRs) guarantees the presence of high-energy cosmogenic neutrinos that are produced via photo-hadronic interactions of CRs propagating through intergalactic space. This flux of neutrinos doesn't share the many uncertainties associated with the environment of the yet unknown CR sources. Cosmogenic neutrinos have nevertheless a strong model dependence associated with the chemical composition, source distribution or evolution and maximal injection energy of UHE CRs. We discuss a lower limit on the cosmogenic neutrino spectrum which depends on the observed UHE CR spectrum and composition and relates directly to experimentally observable and model-independent quantities. We show explicit limits for conservative assumptions about the source evolution.

description: We study the static properties of a semiflexible polymer exposed to a quenched random environment by means of computer simulations. The polymer is modeled as two-dimensional Heisenberg chain. For the random environment we consider hard disks arranged on a square lattice. We apply an off-lattice growth algorithm as well as the multicanonical Monte Carlo method to investigate the influence of both disorder occupation probability and polymer stiffness on the equilibrium properties of the polymer. We show that the additional length scale induced by the stiffness of the polymer extends the well-known phenomenology considerably. The polymer's response to the disorder is either contraction or extension depending on the ratio of polymer stiffness and void space extension. Additionally, the periodic structure of the lattice is reflected in the observables that characterize the polymer.

The use of various three- and four-body Jastrow terms in quantum Monte Carlo calculations is investigated, including a four-body van der Waals-like term, and anisotropic terms. We have tested these Jastrow factors on one- and two-dimensional homogeneous electron gases, the Be, B, and O atoms, and the BeH, H$_2$O, N$_2$, and H$_2$ molecules. Our optimized Jastrow factors retrieve more than 90% of the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo correlation energy in variational Monte Carlo for each system studied.

description: While the coherent potential approximation (CPA) is the prevalent method for the study of disordered electronic systems, it fails to capture non-local correlations and Anderson localization. To incorporate such effects, we extend the dual fermion approach to disordered non-interacting systems using the replica method. Results for single- and two- particle quantities show good agreement with cluster extensions of the CPA; moreover, weak localization is captured. As a natural extension of the CPA, our method presents an alternative to the existing cluster theories. It can be used in various applications, including the study of disordered interacting systems, or for the description of non-local effects in electronic structure calculations.

Επίσης, η ρεαλιστική προσομοίωση επιφανειακών σεισμικών κυμάτων κατέχει καθοριστικό ρόλο  στη σχεδίαση και μελέτη της συμπεριφοράς των κατασκευών στο φυσικό φαινόμενο των σεισμών. Το αντικείμενο της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας αποτελεί τη κατασκευή ενός αριθμητικού επιλυτή υψηλής τάξης ακρίβειας για τη μοντελοποίηση της διάδοσης σεισμικών κυμάτων  και τη μελέτη της συμπεριφοράς του  από προσομοιώσεις προβλημάτων δοκιμών για δυο χωρικές διαστάσεις.

description: Images obtained from coherent illumination processes are contaminated with speckle noise, with polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) imagery as a prominent example. With an adequacy widely attested in the literature, the scaled complex Wishart distribution is an acceptable model for PolSAR data. In this perspective, we derive analytic expressions for the Shannon, Rényi, and restricted Tsallis entropies under this model. Relationships between the derived measures and the parameters of the scaled Wishart law (i.e., the equivalent number of looks and the covariance matrix) are discussed. In addition, we obtain the asymptotic variances of the Shannon and Rényi entropies when replacing distribution parameters by maximum likelihood estimators. As a consequence, confidence intervals based on these two entropies are also derived and proposed as new ways of capturing contrast. New hypothesis tests are additionally proposed using these results, and their performance is assessed using simulated and real data. In general terms, the test based on the Shannon entropy outperforms those based on Rényi's.

description: Myoglobin single-electron transistors were investigated using nanometer- gap platinum electrodes fabricated by electromigration at cryogenic temperatures. Apomyoglobin (myoglobin without heme group) was used as a reference. The results suggest single electron transport is mediated by resonant tunneling with the electronic and vibrational levels of the heme group in a single protein. They also represent a proof-of-principle that proteins with redox centers across nanometer-gap electrodes can be utilized to fabricate single-electron transistors. The protein orientation and conformation may significantly affect the conductance of these devices. Future improvements in device reproducibility and yield will require control of these factors.

description: In früherer Zeit, als man auf andere Menschen noch freimütig in physischer Ko-Präsenz einreden konnte, ohne sich über die dabei getauschten Bakterien und Viren zu sorgen, also im Januar, fand am KWI ein kleiner Workshop statt. Es ging um Sachbücher aus der Feder von Wissenschaftler*innen und damit auch um jene Personen, die außerhalb des akademischen Betriebs zur Entstehung von solchen und anderen Büchern beitragen – etwa Verleger*innen, Lektor*innen, Buchhandelsvertreter*innen und Agent*innen. Die geistes- und kulturwissenschaftliche Forschung beginnt zunehmend, sich für die von ihnen geprägte Hinterbühne des Textgeschehens zu interessieren. Zu Recht, denn nach welchen Kriterien Exposés und Manuskripte ausgewählt und redigiert werden, wie Bücher gestaltet und vermarktet werden, diese und ähnliche Fragen sind sowohl für die Literaturwissenschaften wie auch für die Wissenschaftsforschung und die Wissenschaftsgeschichte relevant. Sie betreffen darüber hinaus auch die Praxis von Forschenden, die ihre Monographien gedruckt sehen wollen. In der Regel wird ein Fachverlag kontaktiert, aber manche Wissenschaftler*innen publizieren auch bei Publikumsverlagen. Und immer mehr wenden sich an eine Literaturagentur.
Schon ‚vor Corona‘ gab es Bakterien und Viren, Erkältungskrankheiten und viele andere Dinge mehr, die Menschen daran hinderten, für einen Workshop aus der Ferne anzureisen. Bei unserem Workshop konnten zwei Referent*innen leider nicht vor Ort sein, nämlich Annika Domainko, Sachbuchlektorin beim Carl Hanser Verlag in München, und Nina Sillem, Literaturagentin in Frankfurt am Main. Der neue KWI-Blog bietet nun die Chance, das Gespräch mit beiden ein wenig nachzuholen – in schriftlicher Form. Wir haben beiden per E-Mail fünf Fragen gestellt, und weil auf dem Workshop Nina Sillem zuerst sprechen sollte – als Agentin kommt sie mit einem Buchprojekt früher in Kontakt als der Verlag – geht es auch hier und jetzt mit ihr los.

description: Some merging galaxy clusters host diffuse extended radio emission, so-called radio halos and relics. Here we present observations between 147 MHz and 4.9 GHz of a new radio-selected galaxy cluster 1RXS J0603.3+4214 (z=0.225). The cluster is also detected as an extended X-ray source in the RASS. It hosts a large bright 1.9 Mpc radio relic, an elongated ~2 Mpc radio halo, and two smaller radio relics. The large radio relic has a peculiar linear morphology. For this relic we observe a clear spectral index gradient, in the direction towards the cluster center. We performed Rotation Measure (RM) Synthesis between 1.2 and 1.7 GHz. The results suggest that for the west part of the large relic some of the Faraday rotation is caused by ICM and is not only due to galactic foregrounds. We also carried out a detailed spectral analysis of this radio relic and created radio color-color diagrams. We find (i) an injection spectral index of -0.6 to -0.7, (ii) steepening spectral index and increasing spectral curvature in the post-shock region, and (iii) an overall power-law spectrum between 74 MHz and 4.9 GHz with α=-1.10 \pm 0.02. Mixing of emission in the beam from regions with different spectral ages is probably the dominant factor that determines the shape of the radio spectra. Changes in the magnetic field, total electron content, or adiabatic gains/losses do not play a major role. A model in which particles are (re)accelerated in a first order Fermi process at the front of the relic provides the best match to the observed spectra. We speculate that in the post-shock region particles are re-accelerated by merger induced turbulence to form the radio halo as the relic and halo are connected. The 1RXS J0603.3+4214 merger is probably more complex than the "simple'" binary merger events that are thought to give rise to symmetric double radio relics.

description: In addition to thermal noise, which is essential to promote conformational transitions in biopolymers, cellular environment is replete with a spectrum of athermal fluctuations that are produced from a plethora of active processes. To understand the effect of athermal noise on biological processes, we studied how a small oscillatory force affects the thermally induced folding and unfolding transition of an RNA hairpin, whose response to constant tension had been investigated extensively in both theory and experiments. Strikingly, our molecular simulations performed under overdamped condition show that even at a high (low) tension that renders the hairpin (un)folding improbable, a weak external oscillatory force at a certain frequency can synchronously enhance the transition dynamics of RNA hairpin and increase the mean transition rate. Furthermore, the RNA dynamics can still discriminate a signal with resonance frequency even when the signal is mixed among other signals with nonresonant frequencies. In fact, our computational demonstration of thermally induced resonance in RNA hairpin dynamics is a direct realization of the phenomena called stochastic resonance (SR) and resonant activation (RA). Our study, amenable to experimental tests using optical tweezers, is of great significance to the folding of biopolymers in vivo that are subject to the broad spectrum of cellular noises.

The two capacitor problem revisited: simple harmonic oscillator model approach

description: The well-known two-capacitor problem, in which exactly half the stored energy disappears when a charged capacitor is connected to an identical capacitor is discussed based on the mechanical harmonic oscillator model approach. In the mechanical harmonic oscillator model, it is shown first that \emph {exactly half} the work done by a constant applied force is dissipated irrespective of the form of dissipation mechanism when the system comes to a new equilibrium after a constant force is abruptly applied. This model is then applied to the energy loss mechanism in the capacitor charging problem or the two-capacitor problem. This approach allows a simple explanation of the energy dissipation mechanism in these problems and shows that the dissipated energy should always be \emph {exactly half} the supplied energy whether that is caused by the Joule heat or by the radiation. This paper which provides a simple treatment of the energy dissipation mechanism in the two-capacitor problem is suitable for all undergraduate class level.
