Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) is increasingly being used to examine microbial community structure and accordingly, a range of approaches have been used to analyze data sets. A number of published reports have included data and results that were statistically flawed or lacked rigorous statistical testing. A range of simple, yet powerful techniques are available to examine community data, however their use is seldom, if ever, discussed in microbial literature. We describe an approach that overcomes some of the problems associated with analyzing community datasets and offer an approach that makes data interpretation simple and effective. The Bray-Curtis coefficient is suggested as an ideal coefficient to be used for the construction of similarity matrices. Its strengths include its ability to deal with data sets containing multiple blocks of zeros in a meaningful manner. Non-metric multi-dimensional scaling is described as a powerful, yet easily interpreted method to examine community patterns based on T-RFLP data. Importantly, we describe the use of significance testing of data sets to allow quantitative assessment of similarity, removing subjectivity in comparing complex data sets. Finally, we introduce a quantitative measure of sample dispersion and suggest its usefulness in describing site heterogeneity.

description: Creating 3D models of the static environment is an important task for the advancement of driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. In this work, a static reference map is created from a Mobile Mapping “light detection and ranging” (LiDAR) dataset. The data was obtained in 14 measurement runs from March to October 2017 in Hannover and consists in total of about 15 billion points. The point cloud data are first segmented by region growing and then processed by a random forest classification, which divides the segments into the five static classes (“facade”, “pole”, “fence”, “traffic sign”, and “vegetation”) and three dynamic classes (“vehicle”, “bicycle”, “person”) with an overall accuracy of 94%. All static objects are entered into a voxel grid, to compare different measurement epochs directly. In the next step, the classified voxels are combined with the result of a visibility analysis. Therefore, we use a ray tracing algorithm to detect traversed voxels and differentiate between empty space and occlusion. Each voxel is classified as suitable for the static reference map or not by its object class and its occupation state during different epochs. Thereby, we avoid to eliminate static voxels which were occluded in some of the measurement runs (e.g. parts of a building occluded by a tree). However, segments that are only temporarily present and connected to static objects, such as scaffolds or awnings on buildings, are not included in the reference map. Overall, the combination of the classification with the subsequent entry of the classes into a voxel grid provides good and useful results that can be updated by including new measurement data.

Les mesures d'intelligibilité : état de l'art, considérations pratiques pour l'applicabilité clinique et explorations acoustiques
Creators: name: Timothy, Pommée
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: L’intelligibilité de la parole peut être définie comme une notion de décodage analytique, acoustico-phonétique. Elle se réfère à la qualité de la prononciation au niveau segmental (phonèmes et syllabes) et est généralement évaluée à l’aide de tâches perceptives. Bien qu’instructives, celles-ci comportent des inconvénients, dont le fait qu’elles reposent sur des évaluations subjectives. Pour y remédier, des outils plus objectifs précis et fiables sont nécessaires, dont les mesures doivent être fondées sur les données probantes de la recherche scientifique, mais aussi sur l’expertise clinique et sur les valeurs des patients – les trois piliers de l’evidence-based practice (EBP). L’objectif du présent travail est de contribuer au développement d’outils d’évaluation de l’intelligibilité de la parole plus objectifs, permettant une interprétation facile par le clinicien afin d’identifier les principales cibles du plan thérapeutique. Le premier chapitre traite de la définition de l’intelligibilité et de la compréhensibilité – deux termes souvent utilisés de manière ambiguë – par le biais d’une enquête internationale de consensus Delphi. Le deuxième chapitre est une analyse des besoins structurée selon les trois piliers de l’EBP et comprend quatre études : une revue systématique de la littérature sur les mesures acoustiques utilisées pour évaluer l’intelligibilité ; une enquête en ligne concernant l’évaluation de la parole par les cliniciens ; des interviews d’experts sur l’intelligibilité, sa définition, sa mesure et les manques éventuels ; et un recueil d’opinions de patients sur la procédure d’évaluation de la parole. Le troisième chapitre traite des supports utilisés pour recueillir des échantillons lors de l’évaluation de la parole. Nous y décrivons la création d’un nouveau texte standardisé pour l’évaluation de la parole et de la voix par un groupe de travail, sur la base d’une enquête Delphi. Le quatrième chapitre se concentre sur l’analyse acoustique des consonnes pour évaluer l’intelligibilité de la parole saine et pathologique. Après une tentative de reproduction de la « banane de la parole » pour représenter l’espace consonantique, les consonnes non-sonantes sont décrites en utilisant les quatre moments spectraux. Ces mesures sont d’abord étudiées sur de la parole saine, en utilisant une segmentation manuelle. Un nouvel algorithme de segmentation par divergence « forward-backward » est ensuite décrit : il permet la segmentation du burst des plosives et des parties stables des fricatives. Il est ensuite employé pour extraire automatiquement les moments spectraux. Enfin, les moments spectraux sont examinés sur des échantillons de parole de patients traités pour un cancer de la sphère ORL. Le cinquième chapitre traite de la faisabilité de mesures acoustiques sur notre nouveau texte standardisé.

description: We report a structural transition found in Ca10(Ir4As8)(Fe2-xIrxAs2)5, which exhibits superconductivity at 16 K. The c-axis parameter is doubled below a structural transition temperature of approximately 100 K, while the tetragonal symmetry with space group P4/n (No.85) is unchanged at all temperatures measured. Our synchrotron x-ray diffraction study clearly shows iridium ions at a non-coplanar position shift along the z-direction at the structural phase transition. We discuss that the iridium displacements affect superconductivity in Fe2As2 layers.

description: Planning with nature-based solutions (NBS) presents a participatory approach that harnesses actions supported by nature to address societal challenges. Whilst Geodesign may facilitate participatory planning, manage boundaries between participants, and assess impacts of NBS, empirical insights remain scarce. This paper aims to develop and test a Geodesign process for planning with NBS, and to evaluate its contributions to boundary management. In a one-day Geodesign process, eleven stakeholders delineated priority areas, changed land uses, and observed resulting impacts on ecosystem services. Contributions to boundary management were evaluated regarding translation, communication and mediation functions, as well as perceived attributions of credibility, salience, and legitimacy. Results include spatial NBS scenarios and insights into contributions to boundary management: translating scenario stories into maps differed depending on the stakeholders involved; communication can be easily facilitated; yet mediation using an indicator tool led to frustration. Geodesign can indeed facilitate NBS co-design but needs to be integrated into a larger collaborative process.
Modeling jet and outflow feedback during star cluster formation

description: Powerful jets and outflows are launched from the protostellar disks around newborn stars. These outflows carry enough mass and momentum to transform the structure of their parent molecular cloud and to potentially control star formation itself. Despite their importance, we have not been able to fully quantify the impact of jets and outflows during the formation of a star cluster. The main problem lies in limited computing power. We would have to resolve the magnetic jet-launching mechanism close to the protostar and at the same time follow the evolution of a parsec-size cloud for a million years. Current computer power and codes fall orders of magnitude short of achieving this. In order to overcome this problem, we implement a subgrid-scale (SGS) model for launching jets and outflows, which demonstrably converges and reproduces the mass, linear and angular momentum transfer, and the speed of real jets, with ~ 1000 times lower resolution than would be required without SGS model. We apply the new SGS model to turbulent, magnetized star cluster formation and show that jets and outflows (1) eject about 1/4 of their parent molecular clump in high-speed jets, quickly reaching distances of more than a parsec, (2) reduce the star formation rate by about a factor of two, and (3) lead to the formation of ~ 1.5 times as many stars compared to the no-outflow case. Most importantly, we find that jets and outflows reduce the average star mass by a factor of ~ 3 and may thus be essential for understanding the characteristic mass of the stellar initial mass function.

description: Biometric technologies have historically been explored as Pattern Recognition systems. Over the past three decades, biometric- based human recognition systems have significantly changed and improved. Applications in forensics, surveillance, healthcare, automotive, and human-computer interaction have benefited of such advancements and are currently globally used. However, the exclusive focus on pattern recognition may obscure or re- strict the potential and capabilities of this discipline. Emerging biometric modalities have begun to impact the security of sensi- tive data, information, and systems. As the biometric challenges increase, the solution strategies shifted the attention on human behavior. Behavioral biometrics is the study of patterns in human activities that can be uniquely identified and measured. Recent technological advancements, especially in Artificial Intelligence, as well as hardware development, have increased the potential of biometric approaches and expanded their application fields. Beginning with the wide concept of behavioral biometrics, this thesis aims to advance the state-of-the-art in several applications, such as estimating an individual’s head rotation to determine its intent or attention and analyzing facial expressions to detect human emotional state. Finally, behavioral biometric traits are in- vestigated through users’ touch interactions with modern mobile devices. For each of the presented methods, the complete pro- cessing pipeline is described, including data acquisition, feature extraction, experimental protocols, and decision-making, as well as a comparison to state-of-the-art methods to show advantages and discuss current challenges.

Angular distribution of medium-induced QCD cascades

description: We provide a complete description of the angular distribution of gluons in a medium-induced QCD cascade. We identify two components in the distribution, a soft component dominated by soft multiple scatterings, and a hard component dominated by a few hard scatterings. The typical angle that marks the boundary between these two components is determined analytically as a function of the energy of the observed gluon and the size of the medium. We construct the complete solution (beyond the diffusion approximation) in the regime where multiple branchings dominate the dynamics of the cascade in the form of a power series in the number of collisions with the medium particles. The coefficients of this expansions are related to the moments of the distribution in the diffusion approximation and are determined analytically. The angular distribution may be useful in phenomenological studies of jet shapes in heavy-ion collisions.

title: Forecasting the Cost of Electricity Generated by Offshore Wind Turbines
Creators: name: Costa, Timothy
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: To impede the progress of climate change, many policy makers are considering avenues to decarbonize electricity production. In addition to decarbonization, policy makers must consider how the cost of electricity will impact various stakeholders, balancing cost and social benefits. Offshore wind farms have the potential to produce affordable, carbon-free electricity, but they are a relatively new technology. The relative juvenescence of offshore wind lends itself to an uncertain future, regarding production costs. In this thesis, we seek to understand cost drivers behind offshore wind electricity by analyzing historic trends in offshore wind levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) through learning curves, characterizing how learning from producing a technology can lead to decreases in production costs. Additionally, we explore how the maturity of component technologies can affect the learning rate, and consequently the benefits of learning, of offshore wind. Finally, we create a robust data set to inform decision makers and researchers by marrying historic data to forward-looking expert elicitations.
The Narrow Line Region in 3D: mapping AGN feeding and feedback

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Early studies of nearby Seyfert galaxies have led to the picture that the Narrow Line Region (NLR) is a cone-shaped region of gas ionized by radiation from a nuclear source collimated by a dusty torus, where the gas is in outflow. In this contribution, I discuss a 3D view of the NLR obtained via Integral Field Spectroscopy, showing that: (1) although the region of highest emission is elongated (and in some cases cone-shaped), there is also lower level emission beyond the "ionization cone", indicating that the AGN radiation leaks through the torus; (2) besides outflows, the gas kinematics include also rotation in the galaxy plane and inflows; (3) in many cases the outflows are compact and restricted to the inner few 100pc; we argue that these may be early stages of an outflow that will evolve to an open-ended, cone-like one. Inflows are observed in ionized gas in LINERs, and in warm molecular gas in more luminous AGN, being usually found on hundred of pc scales. Mass outflow rates in ionized gas are of the order of a few solar masses per year, while the mass inflow rates are of the order of tenths of solar masses per year. Mass inflow rates in warm molecular gas are ~4-5 orders of magnitude lower, but these inflows seem to be only tracers of more massive inflows in cold molecular gas that should be observable at mm wavelengths.

Disinformation, Stochastic Harm, and Costly Effort: A Principal-Agent Analysis of Regulating Social Media Platforms
Creators: Khan, Shehroze
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The spread of disinformation on social media platforms is harmful to society. This harm may manifest as a gradual degradation of public discourse; but it can also take the form of sudden dramatic events such as the 2021 insurrection on Capitol Hill. The social media platforms themselves are in the best position to prevent the spread of disinformation, as they have the best access to relevant data and the expertise to use it. However, mitigating disinformation is costly, not only for implementing detection algorithms or employing manual effort, but also because moderating content impacts user engagement and thus potential advertising revenue. Since the costs of harmful content are borne by other entities, the platform will therefore have no incentive to exercise the socially-optimal level of effort. A similar problem exists for the environmental regulation domain, where the costs of adverse events are not directly borne by a firm, the mitigation effort of a firm is not observable, and the causal link between a harmful consequence and a specific failure is difficult to prove. For environmental regulation, one solution is to perform costly monitoring to ensure that the firm takes adequate precautions according to a specified rule. However, a fixed rule for classifying disinformation becomes less effective over time, as bad actors can learn to sequentially and strategically bypass it. In this thesis, we develop a formal model to capture incentives of social platforms relating to the control of online disinformation; our framework incorporates these important features of the disinformation prevention domain. Encoding our domain as a Markov decision process, we demonstrate that no penalty based on a static rule, no matter how large, can incentivize adequate effort. Penalties based on an adaptive rule can incentivize optimal effort, but counterintuitively, only if the regulator sufficiently overreacts to harmful events by requiring a greater-than-optimal level of effort. We discuss key implications of our formal results, highlight inherent challenges of regulating disinformation, and provide promising directions for future work.

description: Metoprolol is widely used as a beta-blocker and considered an emerging contaminant of environmental concern due to pseudo persistence in wastewater effluents that poses a potential ecotoxicological threat to aquatic ecosystems. Microbial removal of metoprolol in the redox-delineated hyporheic zone (HZ) was investigated using streambed sediments supplemented with 15 or 150 μM metoprolol in a laboratory microcosm incubation under oxic and anoxic conditions. Metoprolol disappeared from the aqueous phase under oxic and anoxic conditions within 65 and 72 days, respectively. Metoprolol was refed twice after initial depletion resulting in accelerated disappearance under both conditions. Metoprolol disappearance was marginal in sterile control microcosms with autoclaved sediment. Metoprolol was transformed mainly to metoprolol acid in oxic microcosms, while metoprolol acid and α-hydroxymetoprolol were formed in anoxic microcosms. Transformation products were transient and disappeared within 30 days under both conditions. Effects of metoprolol on the HZ bacterial community were evaluated using DNA- and RNA-based time-resolved amplicon Illumina MiSeq sequencing targeting the 16S rRNA gene and 16S rRNA, respectively, and were prominent on 16S rRNA rather than 16S rRNA gene level suggesting moderate metoprolol-induced activity-level changes. A positive impact of metoprolol on Sphingomonadaceae and Enterobacteriaceae under oxic and anoxic conditions, respectively, was observed. Nitrifiers were impaired by metoprolol under oxic and anoxic conditions. Collectively, our findings revealed high metoprolol biodegradation potentials in the hyporheic zone under contrasting redox conditions associated with changes in the active microbial communities, thus contributing to the attenuation of micropollutants.

Patterns of preschool children's screen time, parent-child interactions and cognitive development in early childhood: a pilot study
Creators: Rai, Jasmine
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Background: The objectives of this pilot study were to examine total duration and patterns of screen time use in preschool children, the correlations between total duration and patterns of screen time and cognitive development, and the differences in quality of parent–child interactions for two screen-based tasks and a storybook reading task.

Methods: Participants included 44 children aged 3 years and their parents from Edmonton, Alberta and surrounding areas. Children’s screen time patterns (i.e., type, device, content, context) were parental-reported using a 2-week online daily diary design. Children’s cognitive development (i.e., working memory, inhibitory control, self-control, and language) was measured with four separate tests virtually through a recorded Zoom session. Parent–child interactions during three separate tasks (i.e., video, electronic game, and storybook reading) were also measured virtually through a separate recorded Zoom session (n = 42). The quality of the interactions was determined by the Parent-Child Interaction System (PARCHISY). Spearman’s Rho correlations and a one-way repeated measures ANOVA with a post-hoc Bonferroni test were conducted.

Results: On average, children spent 88.7 minutes/day (SD = 56.8) watching a show/movie/video of a total 103.5 minutes/day (SD =59.2) of screen time. After adjusting for child age and parental education, educational screen use was significantly positively correlated with vocabulary (rs = 0.38; p = 0.018) while co-use was significantly negatively correlated with self-control (rs = -0.32; p = 0.049). A medium effect size was also observed for the correlation between educational screen time and response inhibition (rs = 0.33; p = 0.074), total screen time and working memory (rs = -0.32; p = 0.056), and show/movie/video viewing and working memory (rs = -0.32; p = 0.056). Finally, the quality of parent–child interaction was significantly different between all the three tasks, with the electronic game having the highest quality score.

Conclusions: Preschool children primarily used screen devices to watch shows/movies/videos for entertainment purposes, and parent–child interaction quality was the lowest for this type of screen time. Additionally, this type of screen time was negatively correlated with working memory. Conversely, high-quality educational screen time, in particular electronic games that

may facilitate higher-quality parent–child interactions appeared to have a potential benefit for cognitive development. Findings should be confirmed in larger, more generalizable samples.

description: We investigate the Rydberg states generation of Hydrogen atoms with intense laser pulses, by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and by means of classical trajectory monte-carlo simulations. Both linearly polarized multi-cycle pulses and pairs of optical half cycle pulses are used. Comparisons between these methods show that both the Coulomb force and initial lateral momentum, which have effects on the $n$-distribution and $l$-distribution of the population of excited states, are important in the generation of Rydberg states.

title: Click Chemistry Approach to Analyze Curcumin-Protein Interactions in vitro and in vivo

description: Over the past decades, numerous studies shown curcumin, a dietary compound derived from turmeric, has a variety of health-promoting actions, such as anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects, making curcumin the most promising dietary compound for disease prevention. However, the underlying mechanisms by which curcumin has these health-promoting effects are not well understood. A better understanding of the molecular mechanism of curcumin could help to develop novel strategies to reduce the risks of some human diseases.
Protein thiols play important roles in cell signaling, and recent studies showed that curcumin could covalently react with protein thiols, supporting that curcumin-protein interactions could contribute to the health-promoting effects of curcumin. However, the curcumin-protein interactions are under-studied. Notably, it remains unknown whether oral intake of curcumin could covalently interact with protein in vivo. In this project, we synthesized a click chemistry probe of curcumin (Di-Cur), and used this probe to characterize curcumin-protein interactions both in vitro and in vivo using a click chemistry-based imaging approach. Our results demonstrate that orally administrated curcumin could form curcumin-protein adducts in specific tissues of the mice, which may contribute to the potent biological effects and poor pharmacokinetics of curcumin.

title: Effect of frying oil consumption on colon tumorigenesis in mice
Creators: name: YANG, RAN
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Deep-frying is now a popular cooking method all over the world due to its low cost and time-saving property. It also provides special and likeable flavor, helps prolong shelf lives of commercial products, and offering food products of stable quality. However, by- products formed during the frying process, such as malonaldehyde, were shown to be harmful to human health. Such compounds can be taken in when having fried foods, potentially inducing or promoting some diseases. However, there is limited research studying the direct effects of frying oil consumption on cancer. In order to have a better understanding of the effects on cancer by frying oil, we used a well-established AOM/DSS- induced colon cancer animal model to study the impact by frying oil. After 10-week treatment with diet containing deep-frying oil (3.8% in diet) or with un-oxidized oil (10% in diet), the mice showed enhanced tumorigenesis in colon, where the total tumor burden significantly increased (4.5 ± 1.9 mm2 for the treatment group, compared with 0.5 ± 0.5 mm2 for the control group, P < 0.05). Also, the expression of pro-inflammatory and pro- tumorigenic cytokines (Mcp-1, Inf-γ, Il-6, Il-1β, Myc, Axin2 and Vegf) were increased in the mice treated with frying oil diets. Together the results showed that consumption of deep-frying oil promoted the colorectal cancer in mice, providing more detailed information for health instruction.
