Parena taiwana

description: 7. Parena taiwana species group
This species group contains only one species endemic in south China. It is characterized by: dorsum yellowish brown; antennae slender, extended beyond elytra base; retinacular ridge of right mandible about two-thirds length of terebral ridge (Fig. 2D); elytra intervals strongly punctate; elytral apices evenly rounded; males with biseriate adhesive setae near the full length of mesotarsomere 1 ventrally; median lobe of aedeagus very slender (AL/AW 5.5–6.0), apical lamella thin; gonocoxite II of ovipositor nearly ovate, apex with six ensiform setae, two on each angle and two near the middle.
This species group is unique in the subgenus for its males with adhesive setae on mesotarsomere 1 and male genitalia very slender. These two genital characters are in accord with some groups of the subgenus Parena. In P. taiwana, the adhesive setae occupy nearly the full length of mesotarsomere 1, whereas in subgenus Parena, the adhesive setae at most occupy slightly more than the apical half of mesotarsomere 1. Based on many other important characters mentioned above, we assigned P. taiwana into the subgenus Bothynoptera and considered that it is not closely related to species of subgenus Parena. Although P. taiwana is very similar to the P. tripunctata group in external features and female ovipositor, we consider P. taiwana to be relatively isolated in the subgenus because of its atypical male genitalia and the pattern of tarsal adhesive setae.

Learning the nonlinear geometric structure of high-dimensional data
Creators: name: Wu, Tong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Modern information processing relies on the axiom that high-dimensional data lie near low-dimensional geometric structures. The work presented in this thesis aims to develop new models and algorithms for learning the geometric structures underlying data and to exploit the application of geometry learning in image and video analytics.    The first part of the thesis revisits the problem of data-driven learning of these geometric structures and puts forth two new nonlinear geometric models for data describing "related" objects/phenomena. The first one of these models straddles the two extremes of the subspace model and the union-of-subspaces model, and is termed the emph{metric-constrained union-of-subspaces} (MC-UoS) model. The second one of these models---suited for data drawn from a mixture of nonlinear manifolds---generalizes the kernel subspace model, and is termed the emph{metric-constrained kernel union-of-subspaces} (MC-KUoS) model. The main contributions in this regard are threefold. First, we motivate and formalize the problems of MC-UoS and MC-KUoS learning. Second, we present algorithms that efficiently learn an MC-UoS or an MC-KUoS underlying data of interest. Third, we extend these algorithms to the case when parts of the data are missing.    The second part of the thesis considers the problem of learning meaningful human action attributes from video data. Representation of human actions as a sequence of human body movements or action attributes enables the development of models for human activity recognition and summarization. We first propose a hierarchical union-of-subspaces model and an approach called hierarchical sparse subspace clustering (HSSC) is developed to learn this model from the data in an unsupervised manner by capturing the variations or movements of each action in different subspaces. We then present an extension of the low-rank representation (LRR) model, termed the emph{clustering-aware structure-constrained low-rank representation} (CS-LRR) model, for unsupervised learning of human action attributes from video data. The CS-LRR model is based on the union-of-subspaces framework, and integrates spectral clustering into the LRR optimization problem for better subspace clustering results. We also introduce a hierarchical subspace clustering approach, termed hierarchical CS-LRR, to learn the attributes without the need for a priori specification of their number. By visualizing and labeling these action attributes, the hierarchical model can be used to semantically summarize long video sequences of human actions at multiple resolutions. A human action or activity can also be uniquely represented as a sequence of transitions from one action attribute to another, which can then be used for human action recognition.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The objectives of this dissertation are to discover the chemo-mechanical relationship of asphalt binder, to investigate asphalt-aggregate interfacial mechanical behavior, and to understand moisture damage and rejuvenation mechanism using computational modeling. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were utilized to understand the properties of assemblies of asphalt molecules in terms of their chemical compositions, molecular structures and atomic interaction, which serve as complements to conventional laboratory experiments conducted at the macroscopic level. Molecular models of asphalt material were prepared and a series of molecular simulations were carried out. The following tasks were conducted using MD simulations: (1) identify and validate available molecular models of asphalt binder; (2) predict physical, thermodynamic, rheological, and diffusive properties of asphalt binder; (3) build atomistic models for asphalt-aggregate interface, and study adhesion and moisture damage; (4) link asphalt chemical compositions to asphalt properties and asphalt-aggregate interfacial interaction; (5) develop molecular models for aged asphalt, and investigate how oxidative aging affect properties of asphalt binders; (6) build molecular model for asphalt rejuvenator, and investigate interaction between virgin and aged asphalt binder with rejuvenator effect.    The MD simulation results showed a reasonable agreement with experimental data and observations. MD simulation can be used as a powerful tool to study asphalt properties, giving the optimal molecular models and appropriate force field are available. Fundamental chemo-physical and chemo-mechanical relationship of asphalt binders can be studied by MD simulations. Insights into the deformation and failure mechanism of asphalt-aggregate interface at an atomistic scale provided by MD simulations enable better understand adhesion and moisture damage of asphalt mixture. The molecular interactions between virgin asphalt, aged asphalt, and rejuvenator is a sophisticated process but of great practical importance for recycling of asphalt binder. MD investigations can be further used to select the optimum type and amount of rejuvenator in an accelerated manner with less experiment effort.

Question bias and biased question words in Mandarin, German and Bangla
Creators: name: Xu, Beibei

description: Bias is a linguistic phenomenon that is primarily found in questions. Various kinds of biased questions have been studied extensively in the literature, e.g. Negative Polar Questions, Questions with Minimizers, Questions with Verum focus (Ladd 1981, Buring & Gunlogson 2000, Guerzoni 2003, Romero & Han 2004, a.o.). Aside from those biased questions, there are questions with dedicated words that can express bias (i.e. biased question words). Those words are "nandao" in Mandarin, "etwa" in German, and "naki" in Bangla. The current dissertation takes a modal approach to bias, distinct from earlier accounts of bias.    In order to find out the nature of bias, e.g. how it is introduced, at which level it is interpreted, and why it is primarily found in questions, I study the three biased question words at the interface of syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Based on the analyses of the three words, I claim that bias is a not-at-issue content that is revealed via the speaker's public belief domain (i.e. Discourse commitment). Considering the phenomenon in general, I isolate three conditions for introducing bias: a preference ranking of alternatives, selection of a particular alternative as privileged, and the requirement to update the Question Under Discussion with the alternatives. Biased question words lexically satisfy all three conditions and give rise to the obligatorily biased reading of questions containing them. With these three conditions, I provide a definition for bias and explain the opening statement that "bias is a linguistic phenomenon that is primarily found in questions".
Development of in-transit ripening technology for delivering ready-to-eat pears

description: Non-availability of year-around fully-ripened ready-to-eat pears at retail level has become one of major factors that limit fresh pear consumption in U.S. market in recent years. The objective of this project is to test the feasibility of developing a ripening technology that can have pear fully-ripened when they are delivered to distribution center. Ripening is triggered by ethylene encapsulated in α-cyclodextrin, packaged in sachet and control released by moisture from respiration of pears, under refrigeration temperature during transportation.  The objective is composed of three sub-objectives: (1) Ethylene encapsulation in α-cyclodextrin. (2) Release study of sachet (PVA film and Tyvek® paper) packaged encapsulated complex with RH as trigger (70%, 80% and 90%). (3) Biological evaluation of efficacy of ethylene released from sachet system.  Ethylene encapsulation was controlled by encapsulation duration time and headspace ethylene concentration. Under 1×106 ppm headspace concentration, ethylene was encapsulated in α-cyclodextrin with 2.1% inclusion ratio within 20hrs. Headspace ethylene concentration and duration time did not change inclusion ratio of encapsulated complex, remaining around 2.1%. However, higher headspace ethylene concentration and longer duration time would increase yield of encapsulated complex.  PVA film and Tyvek® paper were used as sachet materials to control release ethylene from encapsulated complex at 4℃ with RH as trigger. Release of ethylene from Tyvek® sachet system was faster than from PVA sachet system. Under 90% RH, it took around 72hrs to completely release ethylene from PVA sachet system and 48hrs to reach complete release from Tyvek® sachet system.  Unripened pears were used to evaluate biological efficacy of ethylene released from encapsulated complex packaged in Tyvek® sachet. After 10 days of ethylene treatment from sachet system along with stored at 4℃, firmness of pears decreased to 4.2 lbf, within the range of firmness of pears with good eating quality, from 18 lbf. While the firmness of those pears without ethylene treatment had only decreased to 10.3 lbf, which were still unripened.  In conclusion, it is technically feasible to develop an in-transit ripening technology to provide ready-to-eat pears when they arrive at the distribution center. RH from the respiration of pears was able to trigger the release of ethylene to induce their ripening along with low temperature during transportation.

Vehicular mobility modeling on a large scale
Creators: name: Yang, Yu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Real-time mobility is important for many real-world applications, e.g., transportation,  urban planning given different level administrative jurisdiction. However, most of the existing work focuses at small scale with limited data samples (e.g. region or city level with samples over all the taxis).   Recently, with upgrades of transportation infrastructures, we have new opportunities to capture real-time mobility at larger scale. With emerging of multiple sensors e.g., traffic cameras, toll systems, traffic loop sensors and GPS equipped vehicle fleets, we have unprecedented opportunities to capture real-time state-level mobility      In this dissertation, we analyze the challenges and opportunities for mobility modeling on a large scale and design a mobility prediction model called StateFlow to capture real-time intra and inter city vehicular mobility.    In particular, StateFlow is based on   (i) a stationary sensor network capturing aggregated mobility at the highway toll station level;   (ii) a mobile sensor network capturing individual mobility at the local grid level.   The key novelty of StateFlow is in its two-level structure   where we investigate the correlation between highway station-level mobility and grid-level mobility for fine-grained mobility modeling.   With multiple models built upon the two-level structure, we address a key intellectual challenge of sensing heterogeneity in terms of spatiotemporal granularity.   In station level, we use Bayesian Inference to predict the exit stations based on vehicle historical travel records including when and where they enter the highways and use K Nearest Neighbors to predict the travel time between two stations considering both real-time including real-time traffic condition and weather condition and historical information including personal driving habits. In grid leve, we build a random-based model to predict vehicle final destinations based on personlized features and crowd features. Based on these two level prediction, we can track individual vehicles from entering the highways to arriving the final destionations.   More importantly, we implement StateFlow in Guangdong Province, China with   (i) an electric toll collection system with tracking devices at 1439 highway entrances and exits in Guangdong, functioning as a stationary sensing part of StateFlow;   (ii) a vehicle fleet system consisting of both commercial logistics and private vehicles in Guangdong with in total 114 thousand GPS-equipped vehicles, functioning as a mobile sensing part of StateFlow.   We compared StateFlow with the two benchmark mobility models based on our data, and the experimental results show that StateFlow outperforms others in terms of accuracy.

Type and type locality. The neotype ovig. female (10.5 mm) held at the National Zoological Collections of Zoological Survey of India (NZC-ZSI C- 7136/2) from Thryssa setirostris (Broussonet, 1782) Marina Beach, Chennai, Bay of Bengal designated by Aneesh et al. (2018b).
Remarks. Aneesh et al. (2017a) provided a detailed description of Indian specimen J. engraulidis. Joryma engraulidisi is distinguished from other known species within the genus by the following characteristics, body 1.4–1.6 times longer than wide, cephalon conspicuous dorsally and reaching beyond pereonite 1 expansion, pereonite 1 anterolateral expansion unilateral and not bilobed, pleonites not overlapped, pleotelson broadly rounded uropod rami unequal, mandibular palp 3-segmented.
Agarna engraulidis Barnard, 1936 was transferred to Livoneca engraulidis by Pillai (1964) without any generic diagnosis. This view has not been supported by Bowman & Tareen (1983) and this species was transferred to Joryma, while expressing reservation about its generic position.
Kazmi et al. (2002) figure of J. engralilidis from the host Sardillella spp. is a misidentification and refers to J. hilsae. The cephalon conspicuous dorsally and reaching the margin of pereonite 1 expansion, pereonite 1 anterolateral expansion bilateral and slightly bilobed, pleonites not overlapped, pleotelson broadly rounded, uropods rami equal mandibular palp 3-segmented (Rameshkumar et al. 2011).
Color. Female, in living condition, white color (Aneesh et al. 2018b).
Size. Ovig. females 9–14 mm; non ovig. female 8 mm (Aneesh et al. 2018b).
Distribution. Only known from Indian waters; Devi River, Orissa Coast, India (Barnard 1936), Malabar Coast, Arabian Sea (Aneesh et al. 2016a) and Chennai, Bay of Bengal (Aneesh et al. 2018b).
Hosts. Only known from the type host Thryssa setirostris (as Engraulis setirostris) (Barnard 1936; Aneesh et al. 2016a, 2018b).

New methods for design of full- and reduced-order observers and observer-based controllers for systems with slow and fast modes
Creators: name: Yoo, Heonjong

Year: 2017

description: This dissertation addresses the design of observer and observer-based controllers for singularly  perturbed linear systems. To that end, we present an algorithm for the recursive  solution of the singularly perturbed algebraic Sylvester equation. Due to the presence  of a small singular perturbation parameter that indicates separation of the system variables  into slow and fast, the corresponding algebraic Sylvester equation is numerically  ill-conditioned. The observer driven controller design of singularly perturbed linear systems  with the observer design done using the algebraic Sylvester equation is extremely  ill-conditioned since the observer has to be much faster than the feedback system. The  proposed method for the recursive reduced-order solution of the algebraic Sylvester  equations removes ill-conditioning and iteratively obtains the solution in terms of four  reduced-order numerically well-conditioned algebraic Sylvester equations corresponding  to slow and fast variables. The convergence rate of the proposed algorithm is O( ),  where   is a small positive singular perturbation parameter.  The new design technique for full-order Luenberger observers for systems with slow and  fast modes is presented. The existing methods are able to design independent slow and  fast observers with O( ) accuracy only, where   is a small positive singular perturbation  parameter. In this dissertation, the design of independent slow and fast reduced-order  observers was performed with the exact accuracy. The results obtained are extended  to the design of corresponding observer driven controllers. The design allows complete  time-scale separation for both the observer and controller through the complete and  exact decomposition into slow and fast time scale problems. This method reduces both  off-line and on-line computations. The effectiveness of the new methods is demonstrated  through both theoretical and simulation results.  The results obtained for the full-order observer of singularly perturbed linear systems  are extended to design of reduced-order observers (using both the Sylvester equation  and Luenberger observer formulations) and the design of corresponding controllers for  singularly perturbed systems. In such design additional computational advantages are  achieved due to the use of the reduced order observers. Several cases of reduced-order  observer designs are considered depending on the measured state space variables: only  all slow variables are measured, only all fast variables are measured, some combinations  of the slow and fast variables are measured.
Predicting mobile interruptibility

description: The ubiquitous presence of mobile devices has led to an inevitable increase in the number of notifications. It can be very disruptive when notifications interrupt users at an inappropriate time. For example, irrelevant notifications that arrive when you are in an important meeting could be obtrusive. Therefore, when to interrupt the user becomes a defining problem in the interaction between users and mobile devices. Previous work classified interruptibility as a binary status, interruptible or not interruptible. However, our work shows that this is not sufficient to accurately measure users' availability towards interruptions. We present the design, implementation and evaluation of a personality-dependent two-stage hierarchical model to predict users' interruptibility intensity. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first to introduce personality traits into the interruptibility prediction model. We also solve the important problem in ubiquitous computing, how to enable predictions before individually training on the user? Our model uses the data of people who share similar personality with the user to predict before training to the particular user. Overall, our model can achieve an accuracy of 66.1% for predicting interruptibility intensity, and 75% for first-stage binary prediction. To investigate the effects of different factors on interruptibility, we applied a hierarchical Bayesian approach to analyze the data. We found that people's moods, current places and current involved activities have significant effects on interruptibility. We also found that the relation between interrupters and interruptees and the interruption duration play an important role in estimating interruptibility.

description: The following is a narrative, which explores the age of nuclear enlightenment—or the Atomic Age—and its physical ramifications within the landscape. This era—starting with the discovery of radioactivity in 1898 and continuing through today—began with a belief in progress towards a brighter tomorrow, but ended in destructive actions that will continue to decay within our soils and bones for millions of years into the future. Following the stories of key people, such as Marie Curie, Robert Oppenheimer, and Edward Teller, this thesis tells a story, which even though it is historically recent, it is unknown to people of the millennial generation—those born from the early 1980s through the early 2000s. To tell the story, the thesis draws upon science, politics, history, and pop-culture and employs a specific representation technique that draws from mid-twentieth century movie animation. Based upon the author’s own experiences, the thesis argues that the millennial generation is less informed of, less motivated by, or less interested in the legacies of the Atomic Age. Ultimately, the thesis seeks to remedy this detachment from this historically relevant narrative. To do this, the thesis explores the physical ramifications of nuclear ingenuity over the last 120 years, which has resulted in the unintentional and global spread of radioactive isotopes via atmospheric nuclear weapons testing and nuclear meltdowns. This radioactive debris has become embedded within our earth’s crust, plants, animals, and bodies, where it will decay for millions of years into the future. This paper hopes to engage the readers with this reality and transform their perspective of this age from a distant past to an imminent present and future.

A statistical method for genotypic association that is robust to sequencing misclassification

description: In analyzing human genetic disorders, association analysis is one of the most commonly used approaches. However, there are challenges with association analysis, including differential misclassification in data that inflates the false-positive rate. In this thesis, I present a new statistical method for testing the association between disease phenotypes and multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This method uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) raw data and is robust to sequencing differential misclassification. By incorporating expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, this method computes the test statistic and estimates important parameters of the model, including misclassification. By performing simulation studies, I report that this method maintains correct type I error rates and may obtain high statistical power.
