description: The rise of synoptic sky surveys has ushered in an era of big data in time-domain astronomy, making data science and machine learning essential tools for studying celestial objects. While tree-based models (e.g. Random Forests) and deep learning models dominate the field, we explore the use of different distance metrics to aid in the classification of astrophysical objects. We developed DistClassiPy, a new distance metric based classifier. The direct use of distance metrics is unexplored in time-domain astronomy, but distance-based methods can help make classification more interpretable and decrease computational costs. In particular, we applied DistClassiPy to classify light curves of variable stars, comparing the distances between objects of different classes. Using 18 distance metrics on a catalog of 6,000 variable stars across 10 classes, we demonstrate classification and dimensionality reduction. Our classifier meets state-of-the-art performance but has lower computational requirements and improved interpretability. Additionally, DistClassiPy can be tailored to specific objects by identifying the most effective distance metric for that classification. To facilitate broader applications within and beyond astronomy, we have made DistClassiPy open-source and available at https://pypi.org/project/distclassipy/.

description: In 1969, I. Bernstein and S. Gelfand introduced an object, which is now called the zeta Mahler function (ZMF, also zeta Mahler measure) and related to the Mahler measure. Here we discuss a family of ZMFs attached to the Laurent polynomials $k + (x_1 + x_1^{-1}) \cdots (x_r + x_r^{-1})$, where $k$ is real. We give explicit formulae, present examples and establish properties for these ZMFs, such as an RH-type phenomenon. Further, we explore relations with the Mahler measure.

description: Exploring the Edge: Searching for Wilderness in Desolation and Gray Canyons looks at the difference between legal and experienced wilderness. Legal wilderness is that wilderness defined by the 1964 Wilderness Act and the wilderness mandate in the 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act as well as the court cases that worked out the details of legal wilderness. Experienced wilderness is that wilderness which is defined by and through our individual and personal experiences. I explore this difference by first focusing on legal wilderness and then on experienced wilderness-specifically, my experienced wilderness. The wilderness discussion in the paper focuses on Desolation Canyon, a river section managed by the Bureau of Land Management to protect its wilderness characteristics, which flow through the heart of the Uinta Basin. In the first half of the paper, I look at the history of the development of wilderness as an idea, the origins of legal wilderness (The Wilderness Act and The Federal Land Policy and Management A ct), the court cases that directly affected wilderness implementation and definition, and the federal offices responsible for implementing wilderness. In the second part of the paper I explore, through photos and journal entries, my experienced wilderness-the ideas about wilderness that I personally hold as a result of multiple river trips I took down Desolation and Gray Canyons in the summer and fall of 2011. I conclude that although the wilderness definition, identification, and protection procedures the Bureau of Land Management utilizes are not perfect or all inclusive of my wilderness ideal, those procedures do protect a beautiful, wild stretch of river from over exploitation. That protection opens up the ability for exploration and personal wilderness definition.

description: Using advanced dynamical mean-field theory on a realistic level we study the normal-state correlated electronic structure of the high-pressure superconductor La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ and compare the features of the conventional bilayer (2222) Ruddelsden-Popper crystal structure with those of a newly-identified monolayer-trilayer (1313) alternation. Both structural cases display Ni-$d_{z^2}$ flat-band character at low-energy, which drives an electronic instability with a wave vector ${\bf q_{\rm I}}=(0.25,0.25,q_z)$ at ambient pressure, in line with recent experimental findings. The 1313 electronic structure exhibits significant layer selectivity, rendering especially the monolayer part to be Mott-critical. At high pressure, this layer selectivity weakens and the 1313 fermiology displays arcs reminiscent to those of high-$T_c$ cuprates. In contrast to dominant inter-site self-energy effects in the latter systems, here the Fermi arcs are the result of the multiorbital and multilayer interplay within a correlated flat-band scenario.

description: The paper proposes a solution based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for solving jigsaw puzzles. The problem assumes that an image is divided into equal square pieces, and asks to recover the image according to information provided by the pieces. Conventional jigsaw puzzle solvers often determine the relationships based on the boundaries of pieces, which ignore the important semantic information. In this paper, we propose JigsawGAN, a GAN-based auxiliary learning method for solving jigsaw puzzles with unpaired images (with no prior knowledge of the initial images). We design a multi-task pipeline that includes, (1) a classification branch to classify jigsaw permutations, and (2) a GAN branch to recover features to images in correct orders. The classification branch is constrained by the pseudo-labels generated according to the shuffled pieces. The GAN branch concentrates on the image semantic information, where the generator produces the natural images to fool the discriminator, while the discriminator distinguishes whether a given image belongs to the synthesized or the real target domain. These two branches are connected by a flow-based warp module that is applied to warp features to correct the order according to the classification results. The proposed method can solve jigsaw puzzles more efficiently by utilizing both semantic information and boundary information simultaneously. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons against several representative jigsaw puzzle solvers demonstrate the superiority of our method.

description: We examined the efficacy of AI-assisted learning in an introductory programming course at the university level by using a GPT-4 model to generate personalized hints for compiler errors within a platform for automated assessment of programming assignments. The control group had no access to GPT hints. In the experimental condition GPT hints were provided when a compiler error was detected, for the first half of the problems in each module. For the latter half of the module, hints were disabled. Students highly rated the usefulness of GPT hints. In affect surveys, the experimental group reported significantly higher levels of focus and lower levels of confrustion (confusion and frustration) than the control group. For the six most commonly occurring error types we observed mixed results in terms of performance when access to GPT hints was enabled for the experimental group. However, in the absence of GPT hints, the experimental group's performance surpassed the control group for five out of the six error types.

Tools and Techniques for Genome Annotation and Analysis

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Whole genome sequencing projects have expanded our understanding of evolution, organism development, and human disease. Now advances in secondgeneration technologies are making whole genome sequencing routine even for small laboratories. However, advances in annotation technology have not kept pace with genome sequencing, and annotation has become the major bottleneck for many genome projects (especially those with limited bioinformatics expertise). At the same time, challenges associated with genomics research extend beyond merely annotating genomes, as annotations must be subjected to diverse downstream analyses, the complexities of which can confound smaller research groups. Additionally, with improvements in genome assembly and the wide availability of next generation transcriptome data (mRNA-seq), researchers have the opportunity to re-annotate previously published genomes, which creates new difficulties for data integration and management that are not well addressed by existing tools. In response to the challenges facing second-generation genome projects, I have developed the annotation pipeline MAKER2 together with accessory software for downstream analysis and data management. The MAKER2 annotation pipeline finds repeats within a genome, aligns ESTs and cDNAs, identifies sites of protein homology, and produces database-ready gene annotations in association with supporting evidence. However MAKER2 can go beyond structural annotation to identify and integrate functional annotations. MAKER2 also provides researchers iv with the capability to re-annotate legacy genome datasets and to incorporate mRNAseq. Additionally, MAKER2 supports distributed parallelization on computer clusters, thus providing a scalable solution for datasets of any size. Annotations produced by MAKER2 can be directly loaded into many popular downstream annotation analysis and management tools from the Generic Model Organism Database Project. By using MAKER2 with these tools, research groups can quickly build genome annotations, perform analyses, and distribute their data to the wider scientific community. Here I describe the internal architecture of MAKER2, and document its computational capabilities. I also describe my work to annotate and analyze eight emerging model organism genomes in collaboration with their associated genome projects. Thus, in the course of my thesis work, I have addressed a specific need within the scientific community for easy-to-use annotation and analysis tools while also expanding our understanding of evolution and biology.

description: The paper proposes a method to effectively fuse multi-exposure inputs and generate high-quality high dynamic range (HDR) images with unpaired datasets. Deep learning-based HDR image generation methods rely heavily on paired datasets. The ground truth images play a leading role in generating reasonable HDR images. Datasets without ground truth are hard to be applied to train deep neural networks. Recently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have demonstrated their potentials of translating images from source domain X to target domain Y in the absence of paired examples. In this paper, we propose a GAN-based network for solving such problems while generating enjoyable HDR results, named UPHDR-GAN. The proposed method relaxes the constraint of the paired dataset and learns the mapping from the LDR domain to the HDR domain. Although the pair data are missing, UPHDR-GAN can properly handle the ghosting artifacts caused by moving objects or misalignments with the help of the modified GAN loss, the improved discriminator network and the useful initialization phase. The proposed method preserves the details of important regions and improves the total image perceptual quality. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons against the representative methods demonstrate the superiority of the proposed UPHDR-GAN.

Testing protocols for grading industrial carbon nanotube materials

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Carbon nanotubes - Testing

description: Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes in the 1950s, scientists and engineers have been working on applications that utilize their unique properties. Carbon nanotubes possess extreme conductivity, strength and stiffness which can be used to provide composite materials with improved properties. Cost effective large-scale production is a major challenge for the widespread adoption of carbon nanotubes. A Utah pilot industrial plant has been built to make industrial grade carbon nanotubes. This work seeks to develop appropriate methods for this testing these industrial grade carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes can be studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which is an incredibly powerful tool, however, SEM analysis struggles to provide properties that can be attributed to the bulk powder properties due to the small number observed. The carbon nanotube testing protocols developed in this thesis are devoted to bulk powder methods including: bulk, tap and particle density by helium pyncometry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, BET, surface area, temperature programmed oxidation to determine the oxidation temperatures of different types of carbon and the percentage of impurities after oxidation, bulk heat capacity, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and viscosity. The results of these analytical methods are provided for various types of industrial carbon materials including carbon nanotubes. The analytical results demonstrate that these bulk analytical methods can be used to differentiate various qualities of carbon nanotubes from other types of carbon. Carbon nanotubes show hybridized sp2 bonds with an open p orbital similar to that of graphene. However, the curvature of the nanotube structure allows an analytical distinction between the two using spectroscopy. This curvature and bonding gives the carbon nanotubes a higher level of structure which results in a higher temperature of oxidation, a larger specific heat capacity, and a higher surface area to volume ratio than other carbon species. Carbon nanotubes have an extremely large aspect ratio, the ratio of their length to their diameter. This will cause a unique distortion in the viscosity measurements at a particular volume fraction.

description: The active Brownian particle (ABP) model describes a swimmer, synthetic or living, whose direction of swimming is a Brownian motion. The swimming is due to a propulsion force, and the fluctuations are typically thermal in origin. We present a 2D model where the fluctuations arise from nonthermal noise in a propelling force acting at a single point, such as that due to a flagellum. We take the overdamped limit and find several modifications to the traditional ABP model. Since the fluctuating force causes a fluctuating torque, the diffusion tensor describing the process has a coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom. An anisotropic particle also exhibits a mass-dependent noise-induced drift, which does not disappear in the overdamped limit. We show that these effects have measurable consequences for the long-time diffusivity of active particles, in particular adding a contribution that is independent of where the force acts.

description: We study the evolution of Bianchi-I space-times within the framework of the Horndeski theory with $G_5=\text{const}/X$. The space-times are filled a global unidirectional electromagnetic field interacting with a scalar field. We consider the minimal interaction and the non-minimal interaction by the law $f^2(ϕ)F_{μν}F^{μν}$. The Horndeski theory allows anisotropy to grow over time, so the question arises of regulating the anisotropic level in this theory. Using the designer method, we build models in which the anisotropic level tends to a small value as the Universe expands. One of the results is a model with a anisotropic bounce.

Aggressiveness in children

description: The current study evaluated the use of a manualized social skills program, Superheroes Social Skills, to increase the use of prosocial behaviors and decrease the use of aggressive behaviors for children with externalizing behaviors. The training was implemented by a school psychologist in a pullout group with four children with highincidence disabilities and four typically developing peers at a public elementary school.  The program implemented was a multimedia, high interest program that incorporates the use of animation to teach the lessons. This program also uses evidence-based practices (e.g., video-modeling, peer mediation, social stories, and self-management) to help  increase the effectiveness of the intervention. There were eleven skills taught during one 30-minute session. Two sessions were taught per week.  Children were videotaped during free play and recess observations for baseline, treatment, and follow-up. Their behaviors were then coded using a partial interval  recording system. The behaviors observed were verbal aggression, physical aggression, neutral behavior, positive initiations, and positive responses. The observation codes were used to calculate effect sizes, percentage of nonoverlapping data points, and percentage of all nonoverlapping data points.  The Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS) was used as a pre- and postmeasure of treatment effectiveness. Measures were also used to determine social   validity, consumer satisfaction, and treatment integrity. These measures were analyzed using descriptive statistics.   Results indicated that this intervention was effective for decreasing aggressive behaviors, decreasing neutral play, and increasing positive responses in both the  treatment setting and the generalized recess setting. Results were also maintained at a 2-week follow-up. Parents and participants indicated the program was effective and favorable. The results of the SSIS indicated minimal treatment effect, although teachers rated a significant increase in social skills. The treatment was implemented with high treatment fidelity. Overall, this study found that the Superheroes Social Skills Program  was an effective intervention for children with high-incidence disabilities and externalizing behaviors.

description: A wireless, wearable, real-time gait asymmetry detection system-the Lower Extremity Ambulatory Feedback System (LEAFS)-has been validated by comparison to clinical motion capture (force plate and three-dimensional cameras) measurements, and evaluated in training sessions with seven subjects. LEAFS is a low-cost in-shoe gait detection device that provides real-time auditory feedback based on stance time ratio and allows long-term gait asymmetry training to be performed outside of the clinical environment. Stance time ratio, which is also known as Symmetry Ratio (SR), is calculated by dividing the stance time on one limb (typically the more affected limb) by the other, and control subjects have been shown to have SR of 1.02 ± 0.02. The validation test results demonstrate that the SR measured by LEAFS as compared to clinical motion capture results has a mean error of 0.003 ± 0.05 for control subjects and 0.008 ± 0.04 for subjects with unilateral trans-tibial amputations. The LEAFS was used for gait asymmetry training in seven subjects with unilateral trans-tibial amputations; subjects received six 30-minute training sessions over a 3-week training period. The results demonstrate that LEAFS is accurate at measuring mean SR of a trial of steps, and it is reliable and practical to use LEAFS to train the gait of patients with unilateral trans-tibial amputations by bringing their SR towards a normal range.

description: This dissertation describes the design, fabrication, testing, reliability, and harsh environment performance of single-device Micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS)- based digital logic gates, such as XOR and AND, for applications in ultra-low-power computation in unforgiving settings such as high ionizing radiation and high temperatures. Within the scope of this dissertation are several significant contributions. First, this work was the first ever to report the evolution in logic design architecture from a CMOS-paradigm to a MEMS architecture utilizing a single functional device per logic, as opposed to multiple relays per logic. This novel approach reduces the number of devices needed to implement a logic function by approximately 10X, leading to better reliability, yield, speed, and overall better characteristics (subthreshold characteristics, smaller turn-on/off voltage variations, etc.) and it simplifies implementation of MEMSbased circuits. The logic gates illustrate ~1.5V turn-on voltage at 5MHz with >109 cycles of reliable operations and low operational power consumption (leakage current and power <10-9A, <1^W). Second, this work is the first ever to report an intensive study on the cycle-bycycle evolution of contact resistance (Rc) up to 100,000 cycles, on materials such as, Ir, Pt, W, Ni, Cr, Ti, Cu, Al, and graphite, which are materials commonly used in MEMS switches. Adhesion forces between contacts were also studied using a contact-modeAFM, force vs. displacement, experiment. Results show that materials with high Young's modulus, high melting temperatures, and high density show low initial contact resistances and low adhesion forces (such as Ir, Pt, and W).  Third, the devices were interrogated separately in harsh environments where they were exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation (90kW) in a nuclear reactor for a prolonged time (120 min) and, separately, at high temperatures (409K). Here, results show that solid-state devices begin to deteriorate almost immediately to a point where their gate can no longer control the drain-to-source current, whereas MEMS switches survive such ionizing radiation and temperatures portraying clear ON and OFF states for far longer. In terms of the applications empowered and the breadth of topics covered to accomplish these results, the work presented here demonstrates significant contributions to an important and developing branch of engineering.

description: Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are an innovative material that have special properties. One property is their noncorrosive nature that lends itself to being able to replace steel reinforcement in bridge decks; however, GFRP bars have a lower elastic modulus than steel reinforcement contributing to higher deflections unless a greater percentage of reinforcement is utilized. One way to monitor bridge deflections is to instrument the deck panels and check the various measurements. The bridge used in this research was constructed using precast GFRP reinforced deck panels and prestressed concrete girders. The deck panels were monitored throughout the transportation from the precast yard to the bridge by the use of electrical strain gauges. The bridge is instrumented with accelerometers that measure vertical accelerations of the girders, linear variable displacement transducers (LVDT) that measure vertical displacement of the deck panels and vibrating wire strain gauges (VWSG) that measure the strain in the concrete deck panels. Remote monitoring was done by the use of a secure modem. Data were collected for three purposes. First, lifting strains were measured, analyzed and compared to a finite element model. Collected data from electrical strain gauges were compared to tensile cracking limits. Second, long-term VWSG and LVDT data were recorded and charted to extract strains and deflections. Trucks with a known weight passed over the bridge while strains and displacement data were recorded during testing. Data were interpreted, iv analyzed and compared to design requirements. Third, multiple trucks with a known weight and speed passed over the bridge during testing while acceleration data was collected. Research was conducted to determine the impact factor for design, the period of the bridge, structural damping and primary mode shapes. This research showed that the lifting layout for large GFRP precast panels was successful for crack prevention during transportation and installation. This study recorded a performance history for future use of GFRP bridge decks showing that strain and deflections were well within code limits. Accelerometer data showed that the bridge is dynamically stable and that truck speed and axle weight are the main contributions to the acceleration response of the bridge.

description: A well known conjecture in complex geometry states that a compact Hermitian manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature must be Kähler if the constant is non-zero and must be Chern flat if the constant is zero. The conjecture is confirmed in complex dimension $2$, by the work of Balas-Gauduchon in 1985 (when the constant is zero or negative) and by Apostolov-Davidov-Muskarov in 1996 (when the constant is positive). For higher dimensions, the conjecture is still largely unknown. In this article, we restrict ourselves to the class of complex nilmanifolds and confirm the conjecture in that case.

Subjects: Recreational therapy for teenagers

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of activity staging strategies designed to target the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness on valenced intentionality toward nature in teen-age male students enrolled in a residential treatment program. Procedures involved staging snowshoe outings for male students, age 14-17, enrolled in a residential treatment program in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Residents in the program struggle with behavioral, emotional, learning, and substance abuse difficulties. Staff members of the weekend recreation program were trained in elfdetermination  theory and facilitation of the staged experience. The snowshoe outing was designed and staged in order to target the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness as put forth by self-determination theory.  Throughout the staged experience participants were asked to repeatedly rate their  judgment of nature and feelings of vitality using an 14-item semantic differential scale  which pits adjective pairs against one another to measure meaning (e.g., good.. .bad,  like.. .dislike, repelling.. .attracting). Comparisons were made between treatment and  nontreatment groups.  Results of the data analysis support the hypotheses; a comparison of means  suggests that all three activity staging techniques (environmental education lesson, choice  activity, and relatedness activity) significantly elevated scores on both valenced  intentionality and vitality. Change values (R ) for the environmental education lesson on  valenced intentionality (.04) and vitality (< .001), choice activity on valenced  intentionality (.04) and vitality (.009), and the relatedness activity on valenced  intentionality (.03) and vitality (.00) suggest a weak effect size. R change values for the  treatment order variable on valenced intentionality (0.1) and vitality (.06) suggest a  strong relationship between the dependent variables and the order in which participants  received treatment. Practitioners can use these results to create for efficacious and  meaningful outing programs for youth in a residential treatment setting. Future research  can explore more effective and efficient ways to strengthen the relationships supported in  the present study.  v

description: Unknown examples that are unseen during training often appear in real-world machine learning tasks, and an intelligent self-learning system should be able to distinguish between known and unknown examples. Accordingly, open set recognition (OSR), which addresses the problem of classifying knowns and identifying unknowns, has recently been highlighted. However, conventional deep neural networks using a softmax layer are vulnerable to overgeneralization, producing high confidence scores for unknowns. In this paper, we propose a simple OSR method based on the intuition that OSR performance can be maximized by setting strict and sophisticated decision boundaries that reject unknowns while maintaining satisfactory classification performance on knowns. For this purpose, a novel network structure is proposed, in which multiple one-vs-rest networks (OVRNs) follow a convolutional neural network feature extractor. Here, the OVRN is a simple feed-forward neural network that enhances the ability to reject nonmatches by learning class-specific discriminative features. Furthermore, the collective decision score is modeled by combining the multiple decisions reached by the OVRNs to alleviate overgeneralization. Extensive experiments were conducted on various datasets, and the experimental results showed that the proposed method performed significantly better than the state-of-the-art methods by effectively reducing overgeneralization.

description: Purpose of Project: The aim of this quality improvement project was to determine if a clinical decision support system electronic alert can improve immunization rates from baseline rates for hepatitis A and influenza vaccine in the pediatric population 6-24 months of age.Methodology: To measure the project outcomes, a pre-and post-implementation design was used where chart audits for hepatitis A and Influenza vaccination rates were conducted prior to implementation of electronic alerts, as well as chart audits at one and two months after implementation.Results: Data analysis results indicate at alpha level p < .05, there were no statistically significant differences in hepatitis A (p = .066) or Influenza (p = .841) pre-and post-immunization rates. Pre-and post-immunization rates, however, indicated there was an increase in percentage for hepatitis A immunization rate (11.11%). Further investigation is necessary before a conclusion can be made on the effectiveness of electronic alerts on immunization rates.Implications for Practice: This quality improvement project may allow for decrease in barriers to immunization such as missed opportunities for vaccination in pediatric primary care and may be helpful in deciding which strategies could be useful in increasing immunization rates for other healthcare facilities/organizations/clinics.

description: The ALICE experiment at the LHC measures properties of the strongly interacting matter formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Such studies require accurate particle identification (PID). ALICE provides PID information via several detectors for particles with momentum from about 100 MeV/c up to 20 GeV/c. Traditionally, particles are selected with rectangular cuts. A much better performance can be achieved with machine learning (ML) methods. Our solution uses multiple neural networks (NN) serving as binary classifiers. Moreover, we extended our particle classifier with Feature Set Embedding and attention in order to train on data with incomplete samples. We also present the integration of the ML project with the ALICE analysis software, and we discuss domain adaptation, the ML technique needed to transfer the knowledge between simulated and real experimental data.
