description: The increased use of location-aware mobile devices has given rise to a need to trigger actions at certain geographic locations. For example, when conducting outdoor vehicular experiments, data frequently needs to be collected within one geographic region. The data collection can be initiated manually, however, it is a tedious process and prone to manual errors. Our framework is designed to use Global Positioning System location updates to automatically trigger actions upon entering and leaving these geographic zones. We mark these zones using trip-boxes, a rectangular box enclosing a geographical area with its orientation towards geographic north and east direction, which can be defined in Google Earth and exported into the trip-box system. The system also uses guard intervals to prevent repeated triggering of trip-boxes due to GPS oscillations. In our evaluation, we experimentally determine the chances of skipping the Trip-Box for a given speed, sampling rate of GPS and the length and the width parameters of the Trip-Box. We conducted experiments for finding a suitable width of the Trip-Box for speeds between 0 - 80mph and by varying sampling intervals from 1 - 5Hz. We also determine the guard flags based on distance traveled and elapsed time calculated after crossing the boundary of the Trip-Box to prevent the repeated triggering of same events. Evaluating experiments using a GPS with 5Hz sampling rate and a standard deviation of 7.5m for a 95 percent accuracy, our results show that on crossing a Trip-Box of width 2m and length 28m is 95 percent reliable when the object moves with a speed less than or equal 20mph.

description: Missing data presents challenges to statistical analysis in many applications such as clinical trials, cluster detection, etc. This thesis analyzes and develops methodologies in some non-standard missing data problems. We first consider non-ignorable drop-out in longitudinal clinical trials. Common simple approaches such as complete case analysis or last observation carried forward can lead to biased estimates and underestimation of uncertainty. We pursue a model-based approach in the context of Bayesian framework to provide more useful inferences. Second, non-compliance is another way to deviate from pre-designed protocols. Traditional methods circumvent the issue with simplifying assumptions such as intention to treat. Consequently they might produce misleading results. We adopt a counter-factual approach, known as the Rubin Causal Model, essentially reducing the analysis to a missing data problem. We address the issue in particular when drop-out is also involved. In relation to the first two research topics to provide better and more accurate assessment of a treatment or procedure, we develop a Bayesian sequential meta-analysis framework to aggregate results from all available studies. We conduct a case study and build a risk profile of a treatment to provide early alert of emerging problems.    Last, the question whether a spatial pattern is randomly distributed has been of interest in many applications. We extend and generalize a latent model approach to overlapping cluster detection. We employ this methodology to design an urban mobile sensor network for the surveillance of nuclear materials. With simulation studies, we demonstrate that the method is efficient and powerful in detection of overlapping clusters.
Imitative ability in preschool age children with autism in the presence of odor

description: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are generally thought to be impaired in the ability to imitate, but the causal processes responsible for this deficit are not well understood. Different theoretical perspectives offer different insights as to which behaviors are most difficult for individuals with ASD to imitate and why. This study investigated the imitative ability of five 3-5 year old children with ASD and thirty-two of their typically developing peers of the same ages on several categories of behavior thought to be difficult for individuals with ASD to imitate, including emotional expressions, motor behaviors, and sequences. Imitation was assessed twice using a newly refined imitation test, with approximately 1 week between visits. Imitation was scored for each component of the action imitated for each repetition. Overall, there were differences in imitative ability due to age for every category measured and due to diagnosis for nearly every category, with larger effect sizes for age. When all categories were measured at once, there was a significant age X diagnosis interaction; performance of older children with ASD approximated that of older typically developing children but younger children with ASD were consistently the worst imitators. Odor effects were modest. In general, odor affected imitative performance differently for older and younger children, with younger children benefiting more from odor when imitating more complex tasks. Looking behavior also varied according to age and diagnosis, with younger children with ASD appearing disorganized in their strategy for attending during the imitation task. The other groups appeared similar, with older children with ASD approximating the looking behavior of younger typically developing children. Looking behavior and imitation performance were related. It is suggested that the study of imitation should be broad enough to speak to multiple theoretical perspectives so as to create a more unified description of imitative abilities in individuals with ASD.

Distribution
South Georgia, 88–273 m (K.H. Barnard 1932); Shag Rocks, 284 m (see remarks).
Remarks
There are substantial differences between the illustrations of E. intermedia given by Schellenberg (1931) and Coleman (2007) on one hand, and those of K.H. Barnard (1932). Coleman (2007) questions the conspecificity of these specimens. We agree and treat them as separate forma A and B. However we refrain to attribute them a formal taxonomic status, as no direct examination of these specimens was possible.
Rauschert & Arntz (2015) gave a colour photograph of a juvenile (6 mm) named “ Epimeria sp. n. 2”, which corresponds to the drawings of Epimeria intermedia forma B given by K.H. Barnard (1932). The collection details of the specimen were given in an early draft of the book: ANT-XIX/ 5 in stn 169-1, 53°22.94ʹ S, 42°41.37ʹ W to 53°22.89ʹ S, 42°41.50ʹ W (Shag Rocks), at 284 m.

description: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major public health problem and, in associated co-infection with hepatitis delta virus (HDV), causes the most severe viral hepatitis and accelerated liver disease progression. As a defective satellite RNA virus, HDV can only propagate in the presence of HBV infection, which makes HBV DNA and HDV RNA the standard biomarkers for monitoring the virological response upon antiviral therapy, in co-infected patients. Although assays have been described to quantify these viral nucleic acids in circulation independently, a method for monitoring both viruses simultaneously is not available, thus hampering characterization of their complex dynamic interactions. Here, we describe the development of a dual fluorescence channel detection system for pan-genotypic, simultaneous quantification of HBV DNA and HDV RNA through a one-step quantitative PCR. The sensitivity for both HBV and HDV is about 10 copies per microliter without significant interference between these two detection targets. This assay provides reliable detection for HBV and HDV basic research in vitro and in human liver chimeric mice. Preclinical validation of this system on serum samples from patient on or off antiviral therapy also illustrates a promising application that is rapid and cost-effective in monitoring HBV and HDV viral loads simultaneously.

description: This paper contains a preliminary  natural community classification for New Jersey.  A natural community is defined as a distinct and reoccurring assemblage of populations of plants, animals, bacteria and fungi naturally associated with each other and their physical environment.  Natural communities are characterized and defined by a combination of physiognomy, vegetation structure and composition, topography, substrate, and soil moisture and reaction.  The classification is broken down into seven systems: Marine, Estuarine, Riverine, Lacustrine, Palustrine, Terrestrial.

Risk preferences in surrogate financial decision making
Creators: name: Colby, Helen Alice
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This research examined the effect of information asymmetries on risk preferences in surrogate financial decision making. Beneficiaries of decisions made by real-life financial surrogates rarely have as much information about the decision options as the surrogates making the choice. In two studies from the point of view of the surrogate we found that such information asymmetries lead surrogates to make less risky choices for a beneficiary than they would for themselves. An additional study from the perspective of the beneficiary provided support for the hypothesis that beneficiaries weigh outcome information differently under different information conditions, and suggested surrogates may be choosing less risky options than beneficiaries would prefer in an attempt to shield themselves from negative evaluation by the beneficiaries.

description: This dissertation argues that the artists of Archaic Lakonia – the region of ancient Greece controlled by Sparta – developed innovative approaches to narrative imagery by appropriating, modifying, and combining Corinthian, Attic, and Near Eastern precedents. It focuses on ways in which foreign compositions were changed and juxtaposed by the Lakonian vase painters who decorated the circular interiors of black figure kylikes, but the scant related remains of Archaic Spartan architectural sculpture are also addressed. This dissertation concludes that Spartan artists adjusted borrowed conventions in order to suit local viewers in specific contexts and contradicts the prevalent view that Lakonian art is derivative and provincial.

description: The Report 2023 Crops Evolution in Spain, created by Cocampo, shows how the country’s most prominent crops have evolved over the last decade, as a result of the increase in food production to satisfy a growing population and changes in consumer eating habits. Crops such as almonds, pistachios and soybeans, recognized as superfoods, are experiencing an increase in popularity due to their benefits, while others, such as vineyards and industrial crops, are decreasing in cultivated area.
Perturbation-based QE: An Explainable, Unsupervised Word-level Quality Estimation Method for Blackbox Machine Translation

description: Quality Estimation (QE) is the task of predicting the quality of Machine Translation (MT) system output, without using any gold-standard translation references. State-of-the-art QE models are supervised: they require human-labeled quality of some MT system output on some datasets for training, making them domain-dependent and MT-system-dependent. There has been research on unsupervised QE, which requires glass-box access to the MT systems, or parallel MT data to generate synthetic errors for training QE models. In this paper, we present Perturbation-based QE - a word-level Quality Estimation approach that works simply by analyzing MT system output on perturbed input source sentences. Our approach is unsupervised, explainable, and can evaluate any type of blackbox MT systems, including the currently prominent large language models (LLMs) with opaque internal processes. For language directions with no labeled QE data, our approach has similar or better performance than the zero-shot supervised approach on the WMT21 shared task. Our approach is better at detecting gender bias and word-sense-disambiguation errors in translation than supervised QE, indicating its robustness to out-of-domain usage. The performance gap is larger when detecting errors on a nontraditional translation-prompting LLM, indicating that our approach is more generalizable to different MT systems. We give examples demonstrating our approach{'}s explainability power, where it shows which input source words have influence on a certain MT output word.

description: This project uses the U.S.-Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA, CAFTA-DR, or DR-CAFTA) as a critical lens for analyzing the intersection of transnational and domestic politics in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The primary argument is that CAFTA-DR provided a unique opportunity for broad-based, mass mobilization against an array of neoliberal reforms, and that domestic institutions and state-civil society relations shaped the prospects for that mobilization. Despite the rise in transnational activism against free trade, and the material and political resources made available through it, the domestic arenas in which FTAs are ultimately approved or rejected shape how, and the extent to which significant anti-FTA interests will emerge and can influence state action on the policy. In Costa Rica, CAFTA-DR generated the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of citizens against the FTA. The FTA was put to a national referendum there—the country‘s first national referendum, and the first time an FTA was approved via popular vote. In Nicaragua, the FTA inspired the development of a much smaller opposition movement, and caused no significant disruptions among state actors or in political society. Despite demands from Nicaraguans that the state give the people the opportunity to vote on CAFTA-DR, state actors never proposed doing so. I argue that the variation in these domestic responses to the FTA can be found in the institutions and patterns of state-civil society relations in each country prior to CAFTA-DR‘s introduction. In Costa Rica, members of civil society could use existing institutions and the political traditions of dialogue and accommodation to mobilize opposition and secure some favorable responses from state actors. In Nicaragua, autonomous civil society is weak vis-à-vis the state as a result of the consolidation of political power by the dominant parties; personalistic politics and clientalistic linkages between parties and citizens; and low trust in government among the citizenry. This qualitative analysis is developed from secondary and primary sources including Web sites and publications from state agencies and civil society organizations, and open-ended interviews with state and non-state actors familiar with the politics surrounding CAFTA-DR conducted in Central America between June and August of 2008.

description: The objective of the present investigation is to systematically evaluate the role of polymer crystallinity on osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic gene expression and bioactive protein adsorption using a series of poly(caprolactone-co-glycolide) (PCL-PGA) polymers.   Five compositions of pure PCL and PGA, and PCL-PGA intermediate copolymeric compositions in ratios of 25:75, 35:65 and 45:55, were selected. These polymers were fabricated into thin films by compression molding. The samples were characterized using scanning electro microscopy (SEM) for surface morphology, differential scanning caloriometry (DSC) for crystallinity, contact angle measurement for hydrophobicity (CA), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for nanotopography. The PCL-PGA films demonstrated similar morphology, hydrophobicity and nanotopography whereas they differed significantly in crystallinity.  Cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as osteogenic gene expression were evaluated with osteoblasts (HEPM 1486) on PCL-PGA surfaces. Recombinant human growth and differentiation factor  5 (rhGDF-5) and Fibronectin (Fn) were adsorbed  from single protein solutions using depletion method and quantified using bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein and radiolabelling assay. The protein-adsorbed surface nanotopography was analyzed using AFM. In the cellular responses experiments, amorphous/flexible  PCL-PGA 35:65 supports osteoblast growth and promotes osteogenic gene expression significantly better than the crystalline PCL and PGA. These studies demonstrated that crystallinity and rigidity played major roles in determining cell responses with PCL-PGA polymers.   Protein adsorption study results indicate that rhGDF-5 adsorbed to a higher extent on PCL surfaces and least on PGA surfaces. Reduced rhGDF-5 (a more hydrophilic and flexible protein form adsorbed significantly in greater amounts on all PCL-PGA substrates, demonstrating that the conformation and hydrophibicity of rhGDF-5 played a major role in its adsorption to PCL-PGA surfaces.   Fn, a 450 kDa protein, contains multiple binding motifs with varied hydrophobicity. Binding motifs of Fn fragments strongly impacted their adsorption to PCL-PGA surfaces. The adsorption of Fn 70 kDa fragment on PCL-PGA polymers was found to favor binding to PCL material with the greatest adsorption on pure PCL surfaces, similar to the full length of Fn molecule. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that Fn (70 kda) played a major role in full-length Fn adsorption to PCL-PGA substrates.

Spiroloculina

description: Spiroloculina sp. 1 (Fig. 7:3–4)
Description. Test oval in outline with squared-off, concave peripheries. Chambers are arranged with massiline coiling with pronounced carinate ornament. Test wall between carina are concave with roughened texture due to presence of very fine striae. Both oral and aboral ends produced. Aperture terminal, as wide as final chamber, with a moderate peristomal lip and simple nub-like tooth.
Remarks. The highly curved outline of this taxon is similar to Spiroloculina parvula Chapman 1902. However, the sutures are insufficiently depressed and unlike S. parvula and other collected spiroloculine taxa, the exterior chambers of this taxon are strongly inflated, almost completely obscuring earlier chambers (Fig. 7:3). Although this suite of features appears to be unique, this species was not recovered in sufficient numbers to erect a new species.
Distribution within study area. Spiroloculina sp. 1 was not recovered in high abundance with no more than two specimens per site. This taxon was most abundant at site 2 in Wistari Lagoon and was found in all reefs but Sykes Reef.

description: Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen worldwide. To date, it has not been reported in Guangdong, China. For the first time, we reported 7 cases of C. auris candidemia from two hospitals in Guangdong. The clinical and microbiological characteristics of these cases were investigated carefully. Two geographic clades, i.e. III and I, were found popular in different hospitals by whole genome sequencing analyses. All C. auris isolates from bloodstream were resistant to fluconazole, 5 of which belonged to Clade III harbouring VF125AL mutation in the ERG11 gene. The isolates with Clade I presented Y132F mutation in the ERG11 gene as well as resistance to amphotericin B. All isolates exhibited strong biofilm-forming capacity and non-aggregative phenotype. The mean time from admission to onset of C. auris candidemia was 39.4 days (range: 12 - 80 days). Despite performing appropriate therapeutic regimen, 42.9% (3/7) of patients experienced occurrences of C. auris candidemia and colonization after the first positive bloodstream. C. auris colonization was still observed after the first C. auris candidemia for 81 days in some patient. Microbiologic eradication from bloodstream was achieved in 85.7% (6/7) of patients at discharge. In conclusion, this study offers a crucial insight into unravelling the multiple origins of C. auris in Guangdong, highlighting great challenges in clinical prevention and control.
Era Bell Thompson

description: This dissertation examines and elevates the life and work of Era Bell Thompson, an obscure 20th century black American writer and journalist. Significant research in the archives of Chicago's Carter G. Woodson Regional Library's Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection unveiled the Era Bell Thompson Papers. After spending years retrieving and examining over 100 boxes of material in the archives, the contributions of this important writer and intellectual to American women's literature and history will finally be fully recognized. An intergral part of the Chicago Renaissance movement (1930-1960s), Thompson differed culturally from the collective group of African American migrants from the South. She also worked in a traditionally male profession. Both circumstances contributed to her obscurity, but they also enhanced her point of view. Thompson, raised in North Dakota at the beginning of the century by her ex-slave father, offers a unique perspective as one who speaks from both inside and outside the American mainstream. As the first and only woman editor and writer at Johnson Publishing Company, she established a writing career as a foreign correspondent for Ebony magazine at a time when women and blacks were not traditionally found in such positions. A textual analysis of her autobiography, American Daughter (1946), travel narrative, Africa, Land of My Fathers (1954) that includes a comparison to Richard Wright's Black Power (1954), and various articles published in Ebony and Negro Digest between 1947 and 1974 found Thompson to be a significant African American woman writer, comparable to Zora Neale Hurston. Era Bell Thompson is best known for her use of humor and understatement as a way to critique many issues, including sexism, racism, and class-ism. She also uses humor as a radical means to shift the language of thinking about race. This is evident in her national and international writing, as Thompson framed African Americans worldwide positively, and provided readers with a broader perspective.

description: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) poses grave threats to human health. These strains increased dramatically in clinical settings in China in the past few years but not in other parts of the world. Four isogenic K. pneumoniae strains, including classical K. pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP), hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKP) and CR-hvKP, were created and subjected to phenotypic characterization, competition assays, mouse sepsis model and rat colonization tests to investigate the mechanisms underlying the widespread nature of CR-hvKP in China. Acquisition of virulence plasmid led to reduced fitness and abolishment of colonization in the gastrointestinal tract, which may explain why hvKP is not clinically prevalent after its emergence for a long time. However, tigecycline treatment facilitated the colonization of hvKP and CR-hvKP and reduced the population of Lactobacillus spp. in animal gut microbiome. Feeding with Lactobacillus spp. could significantly reduce the colonization of hvKP and CR-hvKP in the animal gastrointestinal tract. Our data implied that the clinical use of tigecycline to treat carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae infections facilitated the high spread of CR-hvKP in clinical settings in China and demonstrated that Lactobacillus spp. was a potential candidate for anticolonization strategy against CR-hvKP.
