Aristotle's concept of the polis and Wittgenstein's theory of language game as contexts for aesthetic experience
Creators: name: Ohori, Akiko
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, I compare and contrast Aristotle's and Wittgenstein's philosophies of aesthetics as derived from their general philosophies. I claim that Aristotle's political animals can be interpreted as the basis of Wittgenstein's language-using animals, and that Wittgenstein further develops Aristotle idea of the polis into his theory of language. Given this interpretation, both philosophers share similar ideas and the differences between them are due to Wittgenstein's development of the theory of language. I also attempt to show how both philosophers try to express the public aspect of aesthetic experience. Finally, I show how although Aristotle and Wittgenstein have different theories of meaning, for both philosophers, contexts are important for understanding aesthetic experience.

description: Defensive Pass Interference (DPI) is one of the most impactful penalties in the NFL. DPI is a spot foul, yielding an automatic first down to the team in possession. With such an influence on the game, referees have no room for a mistake. It is also a very rare event, which happens 1-2 times per 100 pass attempts. With technology improving and many IoT wearables being put on the athletes to collect valuable data, there is a solid ground for applying machine learning (ML) techniques to improve every aspect of the game. The work presented here is the first attempt in predicting DPI using player tracking GPS data. The data we used was collected by NFL's Next Gen Stats throughout the 2018 regular season. We present ML models for highly imbalanced time-series binary classification: LSTM, GRU, ANN, and Multivariate LSTM-FCN. Results showed that using GPS tracking data to predict DPI has limited success. The best performing models had high recall with low precision which resulted in the classification of many false positive examples. Looking closely at the data confirmed that there is just not enough information to determine whether a foul was committed. This study might serve as a filter for multi-step pipeline for video sequence classification which could be able to solve this problem.
title: Herstellung von PET-tauglichen MCH-Rezeptor-Antagonisten
Creators: name: Simsek, Tuba
Year: 2014

description: Das zyklische hypothalamische Neuropeptid MCH (melaninkonzentrierendes Hormon) spielt eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Regulation der Energiehomöostase, nämlich bei der Kontrolle der Nahrungsaufnahme, des Körpergewichts, Metabolismus und bei psychiatrischen Erkrankungen. In mehreren Studien wurde die appetitzügelnde Wirkung des hochaffinen und selektiven MCH-R1-Antagonisten racSNAP-7941 gezeigt, worauf sich racSNAP-7941 als interessanter Arzneistoff zur Behandlung von Adipositas darstellt. In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird die Synthese von dem racSNAP-7941-Derivat, nämlich Hydroxyethyl-SNAP beschrieben und diskutiert. Über dieses Edukt soll ein Zugang zum Precursor Tosyloxyethyl-SNAP von F-18-markierten PET-Tracern etabliert werden. Die Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie (PET) ist eine geeignete Methode, um die physiologischen Prozesse in-vivo zu überwachen.
description: The cyclic hypothalamic neuropeptide MCH (melanin-concentrating hormone) plays an essential role in the regulation of energy homeostasis, namely in the control of food intake, body weight, metabolism and in psychiatric disorders. The anorectic effect of the high-affinity and selective MCH-R1-antagonist racSNAP-7941 has been shown in several studies, what makes racSNAP-7941 an interesting drug candidate for the treatment of obesity. In the submitted thesis a shortened approach of the synthesis of a racSNAP-7941 derivative, namely Hydroxyethyl-SNAP is described and discussed. Via the described compound an optimized access to the precursor Tosyloxyethyl-SNAP for the F-18-labeled PET tracers is established. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an appropriate method to monitor physiological processes in vivo.

 NOTES. This species was described from Eastern Turkey (Mush Prov., Buglan pass) and was characterized by the author as similar to C. colchica Reitter, 1890. It is mistake in our opinion, because the male genital structure allows us to conclude that C. napolovi belongs to the “ alpin a” species-group. Cortodera colchica and allied species havn’t the large sclerite in the medial part of the endophallus, while it is specific character of C. alpina Ménétries, 1832 (Figs 4–6). In addition, such well-known characters as the shape of lateral lobes (Figs 1–3) and penis (Figs 7–8), confirm belonging C. napolovi to the “ alpina ” species-group.

description: The DEBS Grand Challenge (GC) is an annual programming competition open to practitioners from both academia and industry. The GC 2022 edition focuses on real-time complex event processing of high-volume tick data provided by Infront Financial Technology GmbH. The goal of the challenge is to efficiently compute specific trend indicators and detect patterns in these indicators like those used by real-life traders to decide on buying or selling in financial markets. The data set Trading Data used for benchmarking contains 289 million tick events from approximately 5500+ financial instruments that had been traded on the three major exchanges Amsterdam (NL), Paris (FR), and Frankfurt am Main (GER) over the course of a full week in 2021. The data set is made publicly available. In addition to correctness and performance, submissions must explicitly focus on reusability and practicability. Hence, participants must address specific nonfunctional requirements and are asked to build upon open-source platforms. This paper describes the required scenario and the data set Trading Data, defines the queries of the problem statement, and explains the enhancements made to the evaluation platform Challenger that handles data distribution, dynamic subscriptions, and remote evaluation of the submissions.

Genetic population structure and gene flow between two populations of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis)
Creators: name: Portway, Victoria Ann
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Sequence data from the mitochondrial DNA control region was used to test for genetic differentiation between populations of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) off Argentina and South Africa. DNA extracted from 49 skin biopsy samples was used to sequence 294bp of the hypervariable 5$\sp\prime$ mtDNA control region. A total of 34 polymorphisms defined 25 haplotypes and significant differentiation between stocks was detected using multiple sequence statistics (AMOVA $\Phi\rm\sb{ST}$ = 0.177 p = 0.0001; K$\rm\sb{ST}$ = 0.001 p $<$ 0.001). Sequence data from 8 South Georgia samples suggest a genetic link between this summer feeding area and both wintering stocks. Estimates of genetic diversity were comparable to those for other recovering mysticetes, suggesting that a population bottleneck due to commercial whaling of southern right whales in the South Atlantic may not have appreciably reduced genetic variation. These data support the continued distinction of South African and Argentinean southern right whale stocks for the purposes of management and conservation.

description: Automatic Speech Recognition(ASR) has been dominated by deep learning-based end-to-end speech recognition models. These approaches require large amounts of labeled data in the form of audio-text pairs. Moreover, these models are more susceptible to domain shift as compared to traditional models. It is common practice to train generic ASR models and then adapt them to target domains using comparatively smaller data sets. We consider a more extreme case of domain adaptation where text-only corpus is available. In this work, we propose a simple baseline technique for domain adaptation in end-to-end speech recognition models. We convert the text-only corpus to audio data using single speaker Text to Speech (TTS) engine. The parallel data in the target domain is then used to fine-tune the final dense layer of generic ASR models. We show that single speaker synthetic TTS data coupled with final dense layer only fine-tuning provides reasonable improvements in word error rates. We use text data from address and e-commerce search domains to show the effectiveness of our low-cost baseline approach on CTC and attention-based models.

description: The important consequence of the Kramers-Kronig relations (KKrs) is that dissipative behavior in material media inevitably implies the existence of dispersion, i.e., a frequency dependence in the constitutive equations. Basically, the relations are the frequency-domain expression of causality and correspond mathematically to pairs of Hilbert transforms. The relations have many forms and can be obtained with diverse mathematical tools. Here, two different demonstrations are given in the electromagnetic case, illustrating the eclectic mathematical apparatus available for this purpose. Then, we apply the acoustic (mechanical)-electromagnetic analogy to obtain the elastic versions. Finally, we discuss the concepts of stability and passivity and provide a novel algorithm to compute the relations numerically by using the fast Fourier transform.

description: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. today. High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a negative risk factor, providing protection against cardiovascular disease. Physical activity has been associated with increasing HDL-C levels. The purpose of this investigation was to correlate the frequency of participation of individuals in a health-promotion program with subsequent changes in HDL-C levels over time. There were 275 men and women volunteers who underwent pre-test and post-test cholesterol screening. The results of this investigation indicated that there was no relationship between the rate of participation and changes in HDL-C or absolute HDL-C levels. The potential reasons for these results were related to the sample population and the methodology of the variables. Despite these results, further investigation into this relationship is needed. The potential to increase HDL-C with exercise training may provide a very powerful tool in the fight against heart disease.

Confronting migration at home and abroad: The security implications of large-scale population movements for the United States
Creators: name: Roney, Alexander Thomas
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: There are two serious deficiencies in the literature on the implications of migration for U.S. security. First, previous attempts to classify migration threats have been incomplete and conceptually imprecise. Second, there has been no effort to develop a comprehensive approach to understanding all the ways migration may threaten U.S. security. The existing literature is divided between research on direct threats to the United States arising from high levels of legal and illegal immigration and studies of U.S. security interests in migration crises abroad. This study endeavors to remedy these two deficiencies by refining the conceptual framework and analyzing all the threats to U.S. security, with particular emphasis on those areas scholars most frequently overlook. Overall, this study finds that migration constitutes only a marginal security threat, although the United States will continue to play a leading role in resolving migration crises abroad through the use of military force.

An investigation of the effects of ethanol on neural crest cell migration and adhesion

description: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) may result when women drink alcoholic beverages while pregnant. The symptoms of FAS consist of facial disfigurements such as improperly formed nasal process, brow ridge, cleft palate, lips, and jaws. FAS can also cause premature abortions, prenatal mortality, congenital heart defects, and nervous system malfunctions. Some of these defects may be caused by disrupting cranial neural crest cells from developing into normal facial cartilage, facial muscle, structures of the mouth, neck muscle, and neck bone. Under normal conditions neural crest cells migrate away from the neural tube, through extracellular matrix, and come to rest where they will differentiate into different cell types. To determine how alcohol disrupts this development, ethanol was added at different concentrations, to cultures of neural crest cells obtained by standard methods. It was shown that ethanol inhibits migration and adhesion of the cranial neural crest cells in a dose dependent manner.
title: Sinnentstehung in Internetmems in Verhältnis von Bild und Text
Creators: name: Wiebogen, Lorenz
Year: 2014

description: Mit der Etablierung des Internets als Kommunikationsmedium haben sich auch Kommunikationsformen entwickelt, die sich die neuen technischen Möglichkeiten zu Nutze machen. Eine davon stellen die Internetmems dar. In dieser Arbeit werden Internetmems vom Typ der Advice Animals untersucht, die sich durch eine typische Kombination von Bild und Text auszeichnen. Mittels Segmentanalyse nach Roswitha Breckner wurde an Hand von vier Beispielen untersucht, wie die Bedeutung des gesamten Bildzusammenhangs im Zusammenspiel bildlicher und textlicher Elemente entsteht. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich Bild und Text in der Bedeutungsentstehung gegenseitig ergänzen: Durch das Bild wird eine emotionale Grundstimmung vermittelt, während der Text den situativen Kontext beschreibt, in dem die Emotion auftritt. Die Besonderheit dieser Kommunikationsform besteht in ihrer Zweideutigkeit: Sie kann in ironischer Lesart als Bilderwitz verstanden werden, der vor allem Unterhaltungswert hat. Wenn sie aber ernst genommen wird, erhält sie einen normativen Impetus und hat Aufforderungscharakter. Welche der beiden Lesarten aktuell ist, geht nicht aus dem Internetmem selbst hervor. Das wird für einen Betrachter erst durch die Verwendung in einem konkreten Kommunikationszusammenhang entscheidbar.

description: A detailed study of the influence of molecular beam epitaxial growth conditions on the structural and magnetic characteristics of CuMnSb films on lattice matched GaSb is presented. For a set of nine 40~nm thick layers, the Mn and Sb fluxes are varied to produce material with different elemental compositions. It is found that the layers grown under a relative Mn to Sb flux ratio of $Φ_{\text{Mn}}$/$Φ_{\text{Sb}}=1.24\pm0.02$ are closest to the stoichiometric composition, for which the Néel temperature ($T_\text{N}$) attains its maximum values. Mn-related structural defects are believed to be the driving contribution to changes in the vertical lattice parameter. Having established the optimum growth conditions, a second set of samples with CuMnSb layer thickness varied from 5 to 510 nm is fabricated. We show that for sufficiently large thicknesses, the magnetic characteristics ($T_\text{N}\simeq62$ K, Curie-Weiss temperature $Θ_\text{CW} = -100$ K) of the stoichiometric layers do correspond to the parameters reported for bulk samples. On the other hand, we observe a reduction of $T_\text{N}$ as a function of the CuMnSb thickness for our thinnest layers. All findings reported here are of particular relevance for studies aiming at the demonstration of Néel vector switching and detection in this noncentrosymmetric antiferromagnet, which have been recently proposed.

description: This project considers the life and art of Z. Vanessa Helder, an artist working at midcentury who combined various stylistic elements of the period in constructing twenty-three watercolors of the Grand Coulee Dam in Spokane, Washington. Her works are unique in their ability to evoke trends of Realist, Precisionist, and mural art that were popular during the 1930s while also exhibiting a striking dynamism and sense of overall pictorial control. The aim of this project is to understand the Grand Coulee Dam watercolors that Helder produced from 1939-1941 in terms of her biography, the context of other art depicting industrial subjects produced during the 1930s, and Helder's innovative style. Her use of formal qualities of balance and absence in displaying both the natural and mechanical aspects of her Dam-related subjects mark her work as unique. Though much scholarship has been published on art from the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project, the Treasury Section murals, and paintings of industrial scenes by both realist and Precisionist artists, Helder's watercolors have not been studied regarding their grounding in her biography, the historical context of her choice of this subject, and the innovative ways she drew on formal elements. Helder's ability to give her works a dynamic structural pattern underneath the realist details of the physical buildings creates a visual record that is exceptional for the period. By first discussing her liberated, somewhat bohemian lifestyle and then comparing her works to contemporary industrial images, this thesis will propose that Helder's paintings can be seen as expressing both her specific individual vision and an egalitarian concept of industry and American life at midcentury using an innovative blend of stylistic choices.

Measurement of integrated pollutant levels in streams
Creators: name: Gibbons, Scott Macfarlane
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Grab Samples from streams may miss episodic events of PAH release and seldom measure time-integrated pollutant abundance. Time weighted averaging and automsamplers are expensive and cumbersome. We tested a sampler made of XAD resins confined in a nylon bag and staked in a stream to estimate the average levels of PAHs over time. The resin was extracted and analyzed by HPLC with a UV diode array spectral analyzer and a fluorescence detector. We studied four streams in the Anacostia and Patuxent River watersheds. At each site we measured biological impairment and chose one stream for more detailed subsampling. We were able to localize sources of individual PAHs to within watersheds of first and second order streams. Our measurements more closely estimate average flux (moles/cm$\sp2$/day) than either concentration (moles/L) or pollutant load (moles/day). We contend that average flux is a better measure of biological exposure than either concentration or load.
title: Sexualerziehung und Kontrazeption
Creators: name: Vorderwinkler, Stephanie
Year: 2014

description: Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wurde das Kontrazeptionsverhalten von jungen Studenten und Studentinnen untersucht. Ein gutes Modell für Aufklärungsunterricht unterliegt der Kenntnis über das Verhütungsverhalten von StudentInnen und ihrem Interesse an Sexualität. Schwerpunkte der Studie waren geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede und etwaige Auswirkungen des Sexualunterrichts auf das aktuelle Verhütungsbewusstsein. Die Daten wurden quantitativ anhand einer Fragebogenumfrage erhoben. An der Befragung nahmen 204 StudentInnen der Universität Wien teil. Im Wissen zu Kontrazeption und Reproduktionsbiologie unterscheiden sich Studenten und Studentinnen signifikant, Frauen sind „besser“ aufgeklärt als Männer. Die Interessen der StudentInnen zum Aufklärungsunterricht unterscheiden sich in manchen Inhalten. Allgemein konnte großes Interesse an Sexualität und Sexualerziehung nachgewiesen werden. Auswirkungen des Aufklärungsunterrichts auf das aktuelle Verhütungsbewusstsein und Sexualverhalten konnten nur teilweise bestätigt werden. Es zeigt sich, dass junge Studenten und Studentinnen in ihrem Verhütungsbewusstsein und der Einstellung zu Kontrazeption übereinstimmen.
description: The main focus of the study was to investigate the behaviour and awareness of young students towards contraception. A solid knowledge about the current behaviour of contraception among students and the individual interests of students concerning sexuality is essential in order to develop an adequate concept of sex education. The differences and similarities between men and women as well as the effects of sex education on their current awareness of contraception depict the key elements of the study. To provide accurate evidence a questionnaire was conducted with 204 students of different faculties of the University of Vienna. Male and female students show significant differences regarding their knowledge of contraception and general reproductive biology, which indicates that females students are better informed than male students in terms of contraception and reproductive biology. Generally speaking, the students who participated in the study are interested in different topics of sex education. Moreover, students consider sex education at school to be interesting and informative. The impacts of sex education on the current behaviour of contraception and sexuality have not been proven entirely. Overall it can be said that the behaviour and attitude towards contraception is similar when comparing male and female students.
