Critical evaluation of the sugar degradation pathways of Anaerobic digestion model no. 1

description: Anaerobic Digestion Model 1 (ADM1) has been widely accepted by the industrial and research wastewater communities because it is capable of predicting the breakdown of complex substrates into methane and carbon dioxide gases, biomass, and inert components. A recent review of ADM1 s successful implementations identified three major limitations, and this thesis addresses the most important of these points, which was to find more accurate regulators for the sugar fermentation pathways. ADM1 fermentation pathways use the Monod equation, in conjunction with inhibition parameters, to predict the growth rate of fermentation microorganisms. Despite the use of these inhibition parameters, ADM1 formulas still predict growth in situations when growth is not thermodynamically possible. The technical consensus is that a thermodynamic regulation would provide the best prediction, and several attempts have been made to implement such control; some of which have been partially successful. However, before a precise tool like thermodynamics can be applied, the fermentation conditions must be known very accurately, so the ADM1 structure and calculation algorithms were examined first, to determine whether any improvements were possible. ADM1 calculates the fermentation pH using temperature, but not activity corrections for the ionization constants. It was found that activity corrections were more significant than temperature corrections, and that these corrections must be combined for optimal results, so a simple algebraic pH algorithm was developed that combines both corrections. Similarly, the ADM1 gas transfer calculations were problematic in that they were not sufficiently accurate and introduced considerable mathematical stiffness, so a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm was adapted for ADM1 application and was found to be both accurate and robust. Furthermore, a new type of biogas meter was developed to allow accurate and precise gas flow measurements. To find better fermentation pathway regulators, a wide range of fermentation pathways were evaluated using thermodynamically based cell yield formulas. Cell yield values were suggested to be good predictors of pathway activity. Cell yields can also be used to construct instructive reaction networks, and as yields appear to correspond with operational experience, cell yields are proposed as regulators for the fermentation pathways of ADM1.

description: We describe a likelihood analysis using MasterCode of variants of the MSSM in which the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters are assumed to have universal values at some scale $M_{in}$ below the supersymmetric grand unification scale $M_{GUT}$, as can occur in mirage mediation and other models. In addition to $M_{in}$, such `sub-GUT' models have the 4 parameters of the CMSSM, namely a common gaugino mass $m_{1/2}$, a common soft supersymmetry-breaking scalar mass $m_0$, a common trilinear mixing parameter $A$ and the ratio of MSSM Higgs vevs $\tanβ$, assuming that the Higgs mixing parameter $μ> 0$. We take into account constraints on strongly- and electroweakly-interacting sparticles from $\sim 36$/fb of LHC data at 13 TeV and the LUX and 2017 PICO, XENON1T and PandaX-II searches for dark matter scattering, in addition to the previous LHC and dark matter constraints as well as full sets of flavour and electroweak constraints. We find a preference for $M_{in} \sim 10^5$ to $10^9$ GeV, with $M_{in} \sim M_{GUT}$ disfavoured by $Δχ^2 \sim 3$ due to the ${\rm BR}(B_{s, d} \to μ^+μ^-)$ constraint. The lower limits on strongly-interacting sparticles are largely determined by LHC searches, and similar to those in the CMSSM. We find a preference for the LSP to be a Bino or Higgsino with $\tilde{χ^0_1} \sim 1$ TeV, with annihilation via heavy Higgs bosons $H/A$ and stop coannihilation, or chargino coannihilation, bringing the cold dark matter density into the cosmological range. We find that spin-independent dark matter scattering is likely to be within reach of the planned LUX-Zeplin and XENONnT experiments. We probe the impact of the $(g-2)_μ$ constraint, finding similar results whether or not it is included.

description: Hydrous and nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) are a fundamental class of solids of enormous significance to geophysics. They are the water carriers in the deep geological water cycle and impact structural, elastic, plastic, and thermodynamic properties and phase relations in Earth's forming aggregates (rocks). They play a critical role in the geochemical and geophysical processes that shape the planet. Their complexity has prevented predictive calculations of their properties, but progress in materials simulations ushered by machine learning potentials is transforming this state of affairs. Here, we adopt a hybrid approach that combines deep learning potentials (DP) with the SCAN meta-GGA functional to simulate a prototypical hydrous system. We illustrate the success of this approach to simulate $δ$-AlOOH ($δ$), a phase capable of transporting water down to near the core-mantle boundary of the Earth (~2,900 km depth and ~135 GPa) in subducting slabs. A high-throughput sampling of phase space using molecular dynamics simulations with DP-potentials sheds light on the hydrogen-bond behavior and proton diffusion at geophysical conditions. These simulations provide a pathway for a deeper understanding of these crucial components that shape Earth's internal state.

Subjects: Hordeum

description: Barley, Hordeum vulgare, a rich source of dietary fiber which has been proven to be effective in lowering cholesterol and glycemic index, is an ideal candidate for grain-based functional foods. The objectives of the research reported herein were to determine variation in grain hardness among U.S. barley germplasm, factors influencing barley grain hardness and the significance of barley grain hardness in food processing. Barley lines, provided by ten major U.S. barley breeding programs, exhibited a broad range of single kernel characterization system hardness index (SKCS HI) values ranging from 30.1 to 91.9. Vitreousness, evaluated visually using a light box, showed a clear distinction between hard and soft kernels. Hard kernels appeared translucent, while soft kernels appeared opaque on the light box. L*, determined as an indicator of kernel vitreousness using a Minolta chromameter, showed a significant negative correlation (r = -0.83, P<0.01) with SKCS hardness. Protein, [beta]-glucan and amylose content did not show any significant association with hardness. Under light microscopy, SKCS hard barley lines showed significantly thicker cell walls than SKCS soft barley lines. Both hard and soft barley lines showed similar patterns of cell size and distribution under the scanning electron microscopy. However, hard and soft barley lines showed variation in the degree of starch-protein association and continuity of protein matrix. Hard barley lines with a continuous protein matrix exhibited greater starch-protein adhesion than the soft barley lines, suggesting that starch-protein binding may be one of the major factors influencing barley grain hardness. Linkage disequilibrium based association mapping of diverse barley lines with mixed linear model showed significant single nucleotide polymorphism markers on chromosomes 1H, 2H, 3H, 4H and 7H, suggesting complex quantitative genetic control of barley grain hardness. Pearling loss of barley kernels after 325 sec abrasion showed significant negative correlation (r = -0.87, P<0.01) with hardness. Proportion of barley flour particles greater than 106 [mu]m (r = 0.93, P<0.01) and starch damage of barley flour (r = 0.93, P<0.01) showed significant positive correlations with hardness. These results suggest that barley grain hardness has significant influence on food processing.

description: We investigate reversibility violations in the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. Those violations are inevitable when computers with finite numerical precision are being used. In SU(2) gauge theory, we study the dependence of observables on the size of the reversibility violations. While we cannot find any statistically significant deviation in observables related to the simulated physical model, algorithmic specific observables signal an upper bound for reversibility violations below which simulations appear unproblematic. This empirically derived condition is independent of problem size and parameter values, at least in the range of parameters studied here.

Documenting the questionnaire design process using the Questionnaire Design and Documentation Tool (QDDT): Experiences from ESS Round 10
Creators: name: Salini, Luca
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The European Social Survey has developed over the years a carefully designed model for cross-national questionnaire design, employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative pre-testing strategies during the design process of each rotating module to try and achieve optimal comparability across countries. The design and development process lasts for almost two years – from the appointment of the successful question module design team through to the release of the source questionnaire for the round. It incorporates expert review from members of the ESS Core Scientific Team as well as the national teams, alongside coding item characteristics to predict their validity and reliability using the Survey Quality Predictor (SQP), cognitive interviewing, advance translation and quantitative testing on omnibus surveys and in a two-nation pilot survey. In all rounds between ESS Round 4 (2008) and ESS Round 9 (2018), the design and development of rotating modules has been fully documented through a purposely designed question module design template, which shows the concepts underpinning the design of the module as well as the wording of the questions included in the survey. In ESS Round 10 (2020), for the first time the design and documentation of rotating modules is taking place within the Questionnaire Design and Documentation Tool (QDDT) developed under the SERISS project, allowing to document, version and reuse elements following the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI). The presentation focuses on early findings, challenges and opportunities deriving from applying a structured metadata approach to the documentation of a complex multi-stakeholder questionnaire design process for an established cross-national social survey. It also showcases the latest developments of the QDDT and how they are being applied to the ESS Round 10 questionnaire design process.
title: Responding to Critical Pedagogy
title: Marginalized Students and the College Classroom
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Mencke, Paul D.
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Critical pedagogy

description: Marginalized college students are retained at disproportional rates than their counterparts. A major factor of retention is student engagement in the classroom, which can be impacted by course design and instruction. Critical pedagogy aims to value all students' experiences through six elements of course design and instruction: decreasing teacher power, student self-reflection, dialogue, student voice, critical analysis, and action. This study analyzes marginalized student response to critical pedagogy. A University 101 course, designed to assist in retention, was instructed over a fifteen week semester at a large land-grant university. The course was exclusively reserved for students eligible for the TRiO federal programs; TRiO aims to assist in retaining low-income, first-generation, or students with a disability. The results indicate a positive response by marginalized students to critical pedagogy. Five themes emerged from the data: Students. Response to the Course Design; Students. Response to the Action Research Project; Students. Response to Knowing Classmates; Students. Response to Specific Instructor Attributes; Students. Response to Other Courses. These results suggest further avenues to gain insight into the impact of critical pedagogy and marginalized student retention. The study's conclusions indicate marginalized students must be included, as a collaborator in classroom, to demonstrate their value to the institution. Furthermore, a point is raised about the power of the university structure in contributing to low retention rates among this demographic, and how the structure must change in order increase retention rates.

description: We study the impact of the neutron star binaries' (NSBs) natal kick distribution on the Galactic r-process enrichment. We model the growth of a Milky Way type halo based on N-body simulation results and its star formation history based on multi epoch abundance matching techniques. We consider the NSBs that merge well beyond the galaxy's effective radius ($>2\times R_\mathrm{eff}$) do not contribute to Galactic r-process enrichment. Assuming a power-law delay-time distribution (DTD) function ($\propto t^{-1}$) with $t_\mathrm{min}=30$ Myr for binaries' coalescence timescales, and an exponential profile for their natal kick distribution with an average value of 180 km s$^{-1}$, we show that up to $\sim$ 40% of all formed NSBs do not contribute to r-process enrichment by $z=0$, either because they merge far from the galaxy at a given redshift (up to $\sim$ 25%) or have not yet merged by today ($\sim$15%). Our result is largely insensitive to the details of the DTD function. Assuming a constant coalescence timescale of 100 Myr well approximates the adopted DTD with 30% of the NSBs not contributing to r-process enrichment. Our results, although rather dependent on the adopted natal kick distribution, represent a first step towards estimating the impact of natal kicks and DTD functions on r-process enrichment of galaxies that would need to be incorporated in the hydrodynamical simulations.

description: Music source separation (MSS) aims to extract 'vocals', 'drums', 'bass' and 'other' tracks from a piece of mixed music. While deep learning methods have shown impressive results, there is a trend toward larger models. In our paper, we introduce a novel and lightweight architecture called DTTNet, which is based on Dual-Path Module and Time-Frequency Convolutions Time-Distributed Fully-connected UNet (TFC-TDF UNet). DTTNet achieves 10.12 dB cSDR on 'vocals' compared to 10.01 dB reported for Bandsplit RNN (BSRNN) but with 86.7% fewer parameters. We also assess pattern-specific performance and model generalization for intricate audio patterns.

Neural pathways and cellular mechanisms of mercaptoacetate
Creators: name: Darling, Rebecca Anne
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Sulfhydryl Compounds

description: The body senses and responds to various metabolic cues, such as the availability of glucose and free fatty acids (FFA). When there is a decrease in fatty acid oxidation, the body increases food consumption. We can artificially produce lipoprivation with the anti-metabolic drug, mercaptoacetate (MA). MA blocks fatty acid oxidation by inhibiting -oxidation. MA stimulates an increase in blood FFA and a decrease in plasma 3-hydroxybutyrate, but doesn t directly alter blood glucose. This metabolic profile makes MA a useful tool to study the lipoprivic state without being concerned about glucoprivic responses due to blood glucose changes. The feeding response to MA requires the vagus nerve. Specific regions of the brain are critical for MA induced effects; including the nucleus of the solitary tract, lateral parabrachial nucleus, central nucleus of the amygdala, and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. In the first set of experiments we wanted to determine if the hindbrain contained the circuitry necessary to produce the feeding response to MA stimulation. Using the decerebrate rat model, we found that the forebrain is a necessary part of the neural pathway involved in MA-induced feeding. In the second set of experiments we determined whether MA acts directly on the vagal afferents using calcium imaging techniques with isolated nodose neurons. We found that MA alone did not alter cytosolic calcium, but it did inhibit FFA induced calcium increases. Experiments with the potassium-adenosine triphosphate channel agonist, diazoxide, suggested that calcium responses induced by FFAs may not be mediated through a metabolic action. GW9508, an agonist of G-protein coupled receptor 40, also increased cytosolic calcium levels, and did so only in neurons sensitive to both FFA and capsaicin. MA significantly inhibited GW9508- and cholecystokinin (CCK)-induced calcium responses, but did not impair the calcium response to serotonin (5HT). The ability of MA to inhibit responses to both CCK and GW9508 suggests MA alters a Gprotein coupled receptor pathway leading to calcium influx. The overall conclusions from our experiments are that MA induced feeding is dependent upon forebrain structures and that MA alters FFA stimulation of the vagus nerve by a mechanism other than [beta]-oxidation.

description: Governed by the hairy ball theorem, classical antennas with isotropic responses to linearly polarized radio waves are unrealizable. This work shows that the antenna based on Rydberg atoms can theoretically achieve an ideal isotropic response to linearly polarized radio waves; that is, it has zero isotropic deviation. Experimental results of isotropic deviation within 5 dB, and 0.3 dB achievable after optimization, in microwave and terahertz wave measurements support the theory and are at least 15 dB improvement than the classical omnidirectional antenna. Combined with the SI traceable and ultrawideband property, the ideal isotropic response will make radio wave measurement based on atomic antenna much more accurate and reliable than the traditional method. This isotropic atomic antenna is an excellent example of what a tailored quantum sensor can realize, but a classical sensor cannot. It has crucial applications in fields such as radio wave electrometry.
Deconstructing assumptions of universality in attachment theory: an examination of applicability to Eastern Asian culture
Creators: name: Lee, Jong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: John Bowlby’s attachment theory revolutionized psychologists’ understanding of the intricate dynamics between children and their parents. This groundbreaking theory not only spurred further research on attachment, but also prompted Mary Ainsworth’s influential Baltimore study. Ainsworth’s laboratory research revealed three distinct patterns of children’s responses to novel environments, maternal departures, and reunions, resulting in the classification of attachment into secure, ambivalent, and avoidant types. Bowlby’s attachment theory, along with Ainsworth’s contributions, garnered widespread international attention and application. Its dominance, however, along with other Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) ideas and theories, has historically wielded outsized influence over multiple scholarly fields, including psychology. Researchers have generally perpetuated this dominance in assuming that theories developed in one cultural context would seamlessly apply to others, a limitation in the field. To address this limitation and foster a more nuanced understanding of attachment in a culturally diverse world, this dissertation explores the applicability of Western attachment theory in the context of East Asia—a region known for its unique cultural characteristics that in many ways contrast sharply with the West. To achieve this objective, this dissertation examines parenting practices in China, Japan, and Korea, seeking common threads that significantly impact individuals living in these societies. Despite the scarcity of research on East Asians with a collectivistic background, the literature frequently references interdependence and filial piety as fundamental influences on parenting and children’s socialization in these communities. This theoretical paper emphasizes the importance of integrating the notions of interdependence and filial piety when working with Asian Americans of East Asian descent. By highlighting the complexities of cultural influence on attachment, it endeavors to contribute to a more culturally appropriate and relevant application of attachment theory in psychological practice. This deeper understanding of attachment in East Asian contexts can ultimately enhance therapeutic interventions and support for individuals with East Asian cultural backgrounds.

description: The Knight's Tour problem consists of finding a Hamiltonian path for the knight on a given set of points so that the knight can visit exactly once every vertex of the mentioned set. In the present paper, we provide a $5$-dimensional alternative to the well-known statement that it is not ever possible for a knight to visit once every vertex of $C(3,k) := \{0,1,2\}^k$ by performing a sequence of $3^k-1$ jumps of standard length, since the most accurate answer to the original question actually depends on which mathematical assumptions we are making at the beginning of the game, when we decide to extend a planar chess piece to the third dimension and above. Our counterintuitive outcome follows from the observation that we can alternatively define a $2$D knight as a piece that moves from one square to another on the chessboard by covering a fixed Euclidean distance of $\sqrt{5}$ so that also the statement of Theorem~3 in [Erde, J., Gol{é}nia, B., \& Gol{é}nia, S. (2012), The closed knight tour problem in higher dimensions, The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 19(4), \#P9] does not hold anymore for such a Euclidean knight, as long as a $2 \times 2 \times \cdots \times 2$ chessboard with at least $2^6$ cells is given. Moreover, we show a classical closed knight's tour on $C(3,4)-\{(1,1,1,1)\}$ whose arrival is at a distance of $2$ from $(1,1,1,1)$, and we finally construct closed Euclidean knight's tours on $\{0,1\}^k$ for each integer $k \geq 6$.

description: Dark matter in the form of particles from a hidden mirror sector has recently been proposed as an explanation for the DAMA annual modulation signal. Here one assumes that there exists a small mixing between photons and mirror photons. We show that dark matter with this property can also be detected in electromagnetic field penetration experiments. Such experiments can be used to measure the speed and direction of the dark matter halo wind, the local density, the temperature, and the strength of the photon-mirror photon mixing interaction. An additional result would be a significant improvement of the upper limit on the photon mass.

description: In processing human produced text using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, two fundamental subtasks that arise are (i) segmentation of the plain text into meaningful subunits (e.g., entities), and (ii) dependency parsing, to establish relations between subunits. In this paper, we develop a relatively simple and effective neural joint model that performs both segmentation and dependency parsing together, instead of one after the other as in most state-of-the-art works. We will focus in particular on the real estate ad setting, aiming to convert an ad to a structured description, which we name property tree, comprising the tasks of (1) identifying important entities of a property (e.g., rooms) from classifieds and (2) structuring them into a tree format. In this work, we propose a new joint model that is able to tackle the two tasks simultaneously and construct the property tree by (i) avoiding the error propagation that would arise from the subtasks one after the other in a pipelined fashion, and (ii) exploiting the interactions between the subtasks. For this purpose, we perform an extensive comparative study of the pipeline methods and the new proposed joint model, reporting an improvement of over three percentage points in the overall edge F1 score of the property tree. Also, we propose attention methods, to encourage our model to focus on salient tokens during the construction of the property tree. Thus we experimentally demonstrate the usefulness of attentive neural architectures for the proposed joint model, showcasing a further improvement of two percentage points in edge F1 score for our application.

Subjects: Wine industry -- Economic aspects -- Washington (State)

description: This dissertation consists of three studies that investigate how quality and reputation factors affect the wine market. The models elicit consumer preferences and describe how intrinsic product characteristics, objective properties, and location interactions among wineries affect market prices. The first study evaluates how sensory properties of Washington State red wines affect consumers' willingness to pay using data from individual level tasting and laboratory measurements. A consumer-preference model serves as a benchmark and three intensity models (consumer-intensity, trained-panel and instrumental measurement) are estimated and compared to quantify sensory effects. The results suggest that astringency has a mostly positive effect, while bitterness has a negative effect. Comparing the accuracy of the three models, the consumer-preference model is the most accurate in predicting consumers' willingness to pay and the instrumental-measurement model is the next best, followed by trained-panel model, and the consumer-intensity model. The second study investigates how organic classifications affect wine prices and whether organic classification interacts with other product characteristics. The organic classification includes wine is made from organic grapes and "organic handling wine" that is produced via organic methods, which prohibit the usage of artificially derived preservatives, such as sulfites. The hedonic price model is applied to analyze the wine data. The results suggest that organic grape wines command a premium, and organic handling wines sell at discount. Further, the results indicate that estate grown wines obtain an additional premium when selling organic grape wines. In the third study, the spatial relationships between wineries and wine market values are analyzed. The research question is that whether good neighbors of a winery have positive effects on its own product price. Winery-level data with geographic information system (GIS) coordinates are utilized to understand the spatial relationships among neighboring wineries. Spatial effects for the California and Washington wine industries are examined by performing clustering tests based on wine prices and tasting scores. A spatial lag model is then estimated to test the hypothesis that there are positive effects from neighbors when analyzing the hedonic price equations. The regression results indicate that there exists strong and positive neighbor effect.

description: This study investigates technological change and human settlement of the Transbaikal region, southern Siberia during the roughly 30,000-year interval of the Upper Paleolithic period, a time marked by extreme climatic and ecological fluctuations at the end of the last Ice Age. As such, technological changes in lithic assemblage data from nine sites are evaluated in terms of technological provisioning strategies, technological innovation, and the maintenance of social safety-nets through reciprocity of exotic goods. Lithic assemblages from previously excavated Early (Tolbaga), Middle (Chitkan, Kunalei, Melnichnoe, and Priiskovoe), and Late (Studenoe 1 and 2 and Ust Menza 1 and 2) Upper Paleolithic sites were assessed and compared in terms of artifact manufacture, use-life, and transport, as well as toolkit composition. Field investigations centered on identification of lithic raw material availability within the vicinity of each site. Changes in lithic technology, lithic raw material provisioning strategies, and land use correlate to ecological changes just before and during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The Early Upper Paleolithic is characterized by large blade production through Levallois-like technology from locally available toolstone. Settlements were more permanent during this relatively warm period. As the climate cooled during the Middle Upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherers utilized extraction camps to augment dwindling faunal resources around residential bases. Scarce high-quality non-local chert and quartzite was conserved and reduced utilizing microcores to fashion implements and inserts for slotted hunting tools that were subsequently transported to extraction camps. As the climate became increasingly cold and dry with the onset of the LGM, residences were moved frequently and people transported their lithic toolkits, comprising extremely efficient microblade technology produced on high-quality non-local cherts. Technological changes may not reflect new human populations in the Transbaikal as only select portions of the toolkits changed to reduce the risk associated with fluctuating resource availability. Moreover, social networks likely increased over time, marked by an influx of non-local, high-quality raw materials and a switch from a microcore to a microblade technology prior to and during the LGM.

description: We consider a single-level quantum dot coupled to magnetic insulators (magnonic reservoirs) and magnetic metals (electronic reservoirs). The whole system is in an external magnetic field. In a general case, the system includes two magnonic and two electronic reservoirs, but we also present results for some specific situations, where only two or three reservoirs are effectively connected to the dot. The main objective is the analysis of the conversion of magnon current to electronic spin and charge currents, and {\it vice versa}. We consider the limiting case of large Coulomb energy in the dot (Coulomb blockade), as well as the case when the Coulomb energy is finite and double occupancy is allowed.

description: The revival structure of wave packets is examined for quantum systems having energies that depend on two nondegenerate quantum numbers. For such systems, the evolution of the wave packet is controlled by two classical periods and three revival times. These wave packets exhibit quantum beats in the initial motion as well as new types of long-term revivals. The issue of whether fractional revivals can form is addressed. We present an analytical proof showing that at certain times equal to rational fractions of the revival times the wave packet can reform as a sum of subsidiary waves and that both conventional and new types of fractional revivals can occur.
