Computational and Theoretical Issues of Multiparameter Persistent Homology for Data Analysis
Creators: name: SCARAMUCCIA, SARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: The basic goal of topological data analysis is to apply topology-based descriptors
to understand and describe the shape of data. In this context, homology is one of
the most relevant topological descriptors, well-appreciated for its discrete nature,
computability and dimension independence. A further development is provided
by persistent homology, which allows to track homological features along a oneparameter
increasing sequence of spaces. Multiparameter persistent homology, also
called multipersistent homology, is an extension of the theory of persistent homology
motivated by the need of analyzing data naturally described by several parameters,
such as vector-valued functions. Multipersistent homology presents several issues in
terms of feasibility of computations over real-sized data and theoretical challenges
in the evaluation of possible descriptors. The focus of this thesis is in the interplay
between persistent homology theory and discrete Morse Theory. Discrete Morse
theory provides methods for reducing the computational cost of homology and persistent
homology by considering the discrete Morse complex generated by the discrete
Morse gradient in place of the original complex. The work of this thesis addresses
the problem of computing multipersistent homology, to make such tool usable in real
application domains. This requires both computational optimizations towards the
applications to real-world data, and theoretical insights for finding and interpreting
suitable descriptors. Our computational contribution consists in proposing a new
Morse-inspired and fully discrete preprocessing algorithm. We show the feasibility
of our preprocessing over real datasets, and evaluate the impact of the proposed
algorithm as a preprocessing for computing multipersistent homology. A theoretical
contribution of this thesis consists in proposing a new notion of optimality for such
a preprocessing in the multiparameter context. We show that the proposed notion
generalizes an already known optimality notion from the one-parameter case. Under
this definition, we show that the algorithm we propose as a preprocessing is optimal
in low dimensional domains. In the last part of the thesis, we consider preliminary
applications of the proposed algorithm in the context of topology-based multivariate
visualization by tracking critical features generated by a discrete gradient field compatible
with the multiple scalar fields under study. We discuss (dis)similarities of such
critical features with the state-of-the-art techniques in topology-based multivariate
data visualization.

description: There is a growing demand for indoor farm management systems that can track plant growth, allow automatic control and aid in real-time decision making. Internet of Thing (IoT)-based solutions are being applied to meet these needs and numerous researchers have created prototypes for meeting specific needs using sensors, algorithms, and automations. However, limited studies are available that report on comprehensive large-scale experiments to test various aspects related to availability, scalability and reliability of sensors and actuators used in low-cost indoor farms. The purpose of this study was to develop a low-cost, IoT devices driven indoor farm as a testbed for growing microgreens and other experimental crops. The testbed was designed using off-the-shelf sensors and actuators for conducting research experiments, addressing identified challenges, and utilizing remotely acquired data for developing an intelligent farm management system. The sensors were used for collecting and monitoring electrical conductivity (EC), pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels of the nutrient solution, light intensity, environmental variables, and imagery data. The control of light emitting diodes (LEDs), irrigation pumps, and camera modules was carried out using commercially available components. All the sensors and actuators were remotely monitored, controlled, and coordinated using a cloud-based dashboard, Raspberry Pis, and Arduino microcontrollers. To implement a reliable, real-time control of actuators, edge computing was used as it helped in minimizing latency and identifying anomalies. Decision making about overall system performance and harvesting schedule was accomplished by providing alerts on anomalies in the sensors and actuators and through installation of cameras to predict yield of microgreens, respectively. A split-plot statistical design was used to evaluate the effect of lighting, nutrition solution concentration, seed density, and day of harvest on the growth of microgreens. This study complements and expands past efforts by other researchers on building a low cost IoT-based indoor farm. While the experience with the testbed demonstrates its real-world potential of conducting experimental research, some major lessons were learnt along the way that could be used for future enhancements.

ADVERSARIAL LEARNING ON ROBUSTNESS AND GENERATIVE MODELS
Creators: name: Gao, Qingyi
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Statistics not elsewhere classified

description: In this dissertation, we study two important problems in the area of modern deep learning: adversarial robustness and adversarial generative model. In the first part, we study the generalization performance of deep neural networks (DNNs) in adversarial learning. Recent studies have shown that many machine learning models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, but much remains unknown concerning its generalization error in this scenario. We focus on the $\ell_\infty$ adversarial attacks produced under the fast gradient sign method (FGSM). We establish a tight bound for the adversarial Rademacher complexity of DNNs based on both spectral norms and ranks of weight matrices. The spectral norm and rank constraints imply that this class of networks can be realized as a subset of the class of a shallow network composed with a low dimensional Lipschitz continuous function. This crucial observation leads to a bound that improves the dependence on the network width compared to previous works and achieves depth independence. We show that adversarial Rademacher complexity is always larger than its natural counterpart, but the effect of adversarial perturbations can be limited under our weight normalization framework. In the second part, we study deep generative models that receive great success in many fields. It is well-known that the complex data usually does not populate its ambient Euclidean space but resides in a lower-dimensional manifold instead. Thus, misspecifying the latent dimension in generative models will result in a mismatch of latent representations and poor generative qualities. To address these problems, we propose a novel framework called Latent Wasserstein GAN (LWGAN) to fuse the auto-encoder and WGAN such that the intrinsic dimension of data manifold can be adaptively learned by an informative latent distribution. In particular, we show that there exist an encoder network and a generator network in such a way that the intrinsic dimension of the learned encodes distribution is equal to the dimension of the data manifold. Theoretically, we prove the consistency of the estimation for the intrinsic dimension of the data manifold and derive a generalization error bound for LWGAN. Comprehensive empirical experiments verify our framework and show that LWGAN is able to identify the correct intrinsic dimension under several scenarios, and simultaneously generate high-quality synthetic data by samples from the learned latent distribution.

Response to climate change in Antarctic benthos - Environmental change in Antarctic marine ecosystem: study of long term observations and ocean acidification experiments to better understand the destiny of three key benthic species in the Terra Nova Bay littoral (Ross Sea): Adamussium colbecki, Sterechinus neumayeri and Odontaster validus.

description: Climate changes effects include ocean acidification and, possibly, the alteration of frequency and magnitude of climate events, such as El Ni�o. All environmental global changes are supposed to be a major threat to ecosystem, both terrestrial and marine. Despite the amazing bulk of literature on these last, few efforts have been devoted to polar regions, which are actually likely to be the most fragile environments on the Earth. In this work we want to elucidate the response, to environmental modifications, of three Antarctic benthic macroinvertebrates: the scallop Adamussium colbecki, the sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri and the sea star Odontaster validus, inhabiting the littoral area of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Victoria Land). Using long term series, we investigated potential correlation between A. colbecki recruitment and environmental variables (sea ice cover duration and El Ni�o events), reporting that A. colbecki recruitment is not affected by these variables. We also performed a manipulative experiment in the Mario Zucchelli Station to understand the effects of three pH levels (8.16, 7.8 and 7.6) on the three species, investigating the response of hard tissues and of the reproductive system. Results show that S. neumayeri spines are affected by low pH only at nanoscale and only in hardness property, while the shell of A. colbecki is not altered at all. As far as reproductive system, we found a significant effect in the gonado-somatic index and on stage development of A. colbecki, in addition to some damages in the gonad tissue, although not statistically significant. S. neumayeri shows the same disrupt tissue all over ovary and testes, although differences from the control are not statistically significant. Conversely, O. validus does not show any effect of low pH exposure at all. Further investigations are necessary to understand the energy costs of maintenance of the polar organisms and its potential consequence on individual life history and, thus, populations dynamic.
ROADS, DEFORESTATION, AND GHG EMISSIONS: THE ROLE OF FOREST GOVERNANCE AND CARBON TAX POLICY IN PARA AND MATO GROSSO, BRAZIL
Creators: name: Diaz, Carlos Andres Fontanilla
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Agricultural economics

description: This research explores the impact of road infrastructure on deforestation, the role of forest governance and a carbon tax/credit mechanism in mitigating the effect on land use change and subsequent GHG emissions, with application to the states of Pará and Mato Grosso in Brazil. Few studies have addressed how policies to protect forested land affect the rate of deforestation associated with road and infrastructure improvement. This research makes three main contributions to the literature of roads and deforestation: 1) the concept of cost of access to the “closest” market in terms of time (expressed in person hours per ten ton load) is introduced to reflect variations in the road network infrastructure; 2) development of empirical evidence of the role of forest governance in diminishing the rate of deforestation linked to roads, using data from Brazil; and 3) and assessment of the efficacy of a carbon tax/credit scheme for mitigating the impact of infrastructure investment on land use and resultant changes in GHG emissions. Access cost ranged between 0.01 and 3084 person hours per load, however 80 percent of the pixels measured less than 784 person hours across the three years analyzed (2003, 2013, and 2018). This measure facilitated a contrast in spatial accessibility due to road infrastructure across pixels within the same year and across years on a same pixel. The use of a fractional logit model allowed the incorporation of proportions of different land uses within a same pixel at the same resolution of other variables not available at the same fine scale. Strong forest governance reduced up to 25% the elasticities on forest lands with respect to access cost; in other words, the impact of roads on deforestation is reduced by one fourth when forest governance is strengthened. These larger impacts occur at the frontier where most of the efforts need to be addressed. Finally, provided a shock in road infrastructure, a carbon tax/credit level of $82/tCO2e permitted to abate an additional amount of GHG emissions estimated in 244 million tons of CO2e released due to changes in carbon stocks and flow emissions from agricultural activities induced from changes in road infrastructure. More importantly, this research provided insights of a proportion of GHG emissions that could be abated at different levels of a carbon tax/credit.

Room-Temperature Injection Molded, Pressurelessly Sintered Boron Carbide
Creators: name: Weaver, Erich
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Materials engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Boron carbide (B4C) is a promising material for ballistic armor applications due to its extreme hardness and low density. However, utilizing these unique properties requires sintering B4C components to full density. This dissertation explores methods for sintering B4C to full near fully density without the application of external pressure. These pressureless sintering methods allow for B4C to be produced in a variety of geometries that would be impossible to achieve using current industrial methods. Highly loaded (51 vol. %) aqueous B4C suspensions were developed and injection molded at room temperature followed by pressureless sintering up to 2075 °C. Three different sintering aids (Y2O3, Al, and Al2O3) were used to aid the densification process. B4C parts were sintered to high density (up to 97.7 % relative density) and high hardness values (up to 3200 Vickers). The flexural strength of the samples was limited by grain pullout during polishing of the tensile surface; the strength was correlated to the maximum grain pullout flaw measured at the intersection of the tensile surface and the fracture surface (R2 > 0.98). Five compositions (undoped B4C, 5 wt. % WC, 5 wt. % WC + 10 wt. % Y2O3, 10 wt. % Y2O3, and 10 wt. % ZrB2) were studied for their relative density (up to 96.0 %), hardness (up to 3458 Vickers), and differential efficiency factor (up to 3.7 ± 0.7) during depth of penetration ballistic impact testing. The differential efficiencies of the samples were comparable with a commercially hot-pressed sample but were limited by their relative densities as opposed to their hardnesses, indicating that increasing densities through different sintering parameters could further improve performance relative to commercial armor alternatives. Potentially bonding B4C either in-situ or post-sintering is also explored as a method of overcoming the critical cracking thickness of B4C suspensions. Powder mixtures of B4C +Y2O3 were used during the sintering process, with low concentrations of Y2O3 yielding the most complete bond formation. Powder mixtures of SiC + C + Si with additional Si infiltration were used create bonds between B4C with a strong cohesive interface, but samples cracked due to a mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between B4C and the bonding layer. This dissertation demonstrates the potential of room-temperature injection molding and pressureless sintering as an alternative means to produce highly dense B4C components with complex geometries not possible in traditional processing methods.

Local and global deep features for multi object tracking
Creators: name: FIORI, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Siena
Year: 2021

description: Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) has been a central topic among various com-
puter vision tasks, especially in recent years, with the advent of deep learning. The
approaches to MOT, lately, have in fact shifted towards the ?tracking by detection?
paradigm supported by a re-identification (ReID) architecture, since a robust model of
the target appearance is fundamental to recover a target after long term occlusions.
Such approaches have achieved great performances on famous dataset, i.e. MOT
challenge datasets, defining the state of the art, but still leaving a lot of space for im-
provements.
The majority of re-identification architectures consist in a deep convolutional neural
network taking as input a region of interest (ROI), an image containing all the pixels
belonging to the target person and as few pixel as possible belonging to what is consid-
ered background, and giving as output a ?descriptor? of the appearance of said ROI as
a vector of values. A common approach in the tracking problem is to extract the ROIs
using a person detector, which usually is based on another deep convolutional network
such as YOLO or MaskRCNN.
A common problem arises in using ReID in the tracking pipeline, and it is evident
when dealing with the partial occlusion of a target caused by another target: since the
appearance of both targets is modeled from a ROI which contains inevitably foreground
(target) pixels and background pixels, when two target are partially overlapping each
other during the occlusion, the ROIs of the detections are intersected, which means that
the obtained models will be describing a more or less great quantity of common pixels,
resulting in similar descriptors for different targets.
In this work I will present an effective way to lessen this problem by flanking the
?global? descriptor from the ReID network with ?local? descriptors of parts of each
target, perform the matching separately and then fusing the ?global? and ?local? match
scores using a custom designed algorithm inspired by the theory of ensemble classifiers.

description: This thesis provides the first comprehensive examination of how children’s abilities were ‘classified’ and managed in London, following the creation of school places under the 1870 Elementary Education Act. It explores how new schools (known as Board Schools), shaped and were shaped by the diverse social, physical and mental capabilities of London’s children. I argue it was only through administering the 1870 Education Act across such a diverse city that a right to schooling was shown to be not enough, children needed a right to learn. Yet learning was not uniform and different authorities could not agree on how and what children needed for successful learning. The idea of the Board School and its students would become increasingly pluralistic.
In 1874 the School Board for London (SBL) described it as its ‘duty’ to educate London’s near half a million child-population. In order to realise this duty ideas of school and child were challenged. This thesis examines how these ideas developed from the implementation of the Education Act in 1870 to the Mental Deficiency Act of 1913 prior to the Great War. I unpick how children and their learning began to be classified by teachers, inspectors, doctors and local and national government bodies. In so doing I demonstrate how children’s abilities and disabilities, their origins and impact, could be both challenged and reinforced by the education system. Legislation and reports of Royal Commissions and government departments provide some of the voices and context for this study, but it is only by focusing on individual schools within The Capital that the day-to-day realities of classification emerges. Such focus reveals how and why the identification and treatment of children with perceived physical and mental ‘defects’ is a history which must be seen as part, not set apart, from the development of elementary schooling.
The Lawu Languages: Footprints Along The Red River Valley Corridor
Creators: name: Hsiu, Andrew
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017

description: In this paper, Lawu (Yang 2012) and Awu (Lu & Lu 2011) are shown to be two geographically disjunct but related languages in Yunnan, China forming a previously unidentified sub-branch of Loloish (Ngwi). Both languages are located along the southwestern banks of the Red River. Additionally, Lewu, an extinct language in Jingdong County, may be related to Lawu, but this is far from certain due to the limited data. The possible genetic position of the unclassified Alu language in Lvchun County is also discussed, and my preliminary analysis of the highly limited Alu data shows that it is likely not a Lawu language. The Lawu (alternatively Lawoid or Lawoish) branch cannot be classified within any other known branch or subgroup or Loloish, and is tentatively considered to be an independent branch of Loloish. Further research on Lawu languages and surrounding under-documented languages would be highly promising, especially on various unidentified languages of Jinping County, southern Yunnan.

Epigenetic analyses in Autism Spectrum Disorders: gender differences and the contribution of maternal risk factors

description: ASD are one of the largest groups of complex neurodevelopment disorders that affect about 1-2% of the population with a greater frequency in males, in a ratio of 4.5: 1. The diagnosis of ASD is made on the basis of the clinical observation of the subject and the use of standardized assessment scales, such as ADOS and ADI-R. In recent decades, the prevalence of this disorder has increased significantly and this is thought to be due to both a better understanding of the problem and an improvement in the process and diagnostic criteria. Although numerous studies carried out to date show a considerable variety of causes that can lead to the development of ASD, the aetiology of this disorder still remains unknown but it has been shown that environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors play an important role.
In the present study we investigated, in a population of 42 girls affected by ASD, the correlation between the levels of methylation of genes associated with this disorder, maternal risk factors and symptomatological severity. To this end, the experimental protocols for the analysis of 7 genes, namely MECP2, OXTR, BDNF, 5-HTR1A, RELN, BCL-2, and EN2, were developed using the Methylation Sensitive-High Resolution Melting technique. The anamnestic data were collected through the administration of a questionnaire to the mothers on their lifestyle before and during pregnancy, while the symptomatological severity of the ASD girls were evaluated using the "gold standard" ADOS-2 psychodiagnostic tool. We also recruited 25 ASD boys as comparison population, in order to assess the presence of any differences between the two genders. The results obtained from the methylation analyses showed that, except for the MECP2 promoter, all the other investigated genes showed very low methylation levels, of about 1-2% in average. However, three of the analyzed genes, namely MECP2, OXTR and RELN, showed significant differences in mean methylation levels between males and females. The methylation levels found were subsequently correlated with maternal factors extrapolated from the questionnaire, and these correlations revealed a statistically significant association between BDNF gene methylation levels and weight gain in pregnancy. Finally, we made a correlation between maternal factors and symptomatological severity finding a statistically significant association between ASD severity and lack of folic acid intake during pregnancy. These results could suggest a role of epigenetic modifications and maternal factors in the aetiopathogenesis of ASD and therefore further studies in this sense could allow a better understanding of the importance of these factors in the pathogenesis of these disorders.

description: Reduction in sulfur deposition from power plant emissions has resulted in lower amounts of soil sulfur and, perhaps, in inadequate sulfur availability for corn. The objective of this study was to determine if corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield was responsive to S fertilization in Indiana and what soil and cropping system factors contributed to the likelihood of a response. Field scale experiments were conducted at 28 sites from 2017 to 2020, the majority in corn-soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) rotation. In-season measurements included soil sulfate-S concentration and soil texture from 0 to 60 cm in 20 cm increments, plant nutrient concentration in the whole plant at V3-V7, in the earleaf, and in the grain. Additional measurements were 1,000 kernel dry weight, total kernel rows per ear, and kernels per row. Sulfur treatment rates ranged from 0 to 34 kg S ha‑1 as ammonium thiosulfate, and were applied as starter, sidedress, and both combined. Fertilizer S increased grain yield by 0.2 to 3.0 Mg ha-1 at 10 of 28 Indiana site-years, approximately a 36% frequency of response. When a response to S fertilizer occurred, the lowest sidedress rate examined in that site-year, which ranged from 8 to 17 kg S ha-1, was enough to maximize grain yield. On soils with 26 to 31 g kg-1 OM, S fertilization increased yield 0.2 to 0.3 Mg ha-1 at 2 of 10 site-years. Response to S fertilization at 8 of 10 site-years with soils with lower OM, 10 to 25 g kg-1, had higher yield increases ranging from 0.7 to 3.0 Mg ha-1. Grain yield responses occurred in both coarse- and fine-textured soils and were consistent and large at 2 sites. Sulfate-S concentration in the soil and S concentration in the whole plant (V4-V7) were not good indicators of response to S fertilization. For the majority of the site-years where grain yield increased with S fertilization, the grain S concentration, earleaf S concentration, and earleaf N:S were respectively <0.9 g kg-1, <1.8 g kg-1, and >15:1 without S treatment. These parameters improved with the addition of S but some site-years with these values did not have a yield response. These earleaf S and N:S ‘critical values’ may serve as reference for potentially S responsive sites, but more observations are necessary to validate these critical levels. Sites with higher basal values (without fertilizer treatment) for earleaf and grain S concentration and lower earleaf N:S still showed increased tissue S concentration upon S fertilizer application, albeit with no increase in grain yield. We encourage farmers to consider S fertilization at rates ranging from 8 to 17 kg S ha-1 applied at sidedress. this recommendation for fields showing S deficiency symptoms or where R1 earleaf S concentration and N:S are below 1.8 g kg-1 and above 15:1, respectively.

description: Since ?nanotechnology? was presented by Nobel laureate Richard P. Feynman during his well famous 1959 lecture ?There?s Plenty of Room at the Bottom?, there have been made various revolutionary developments in the field of nanotechnology. However, nanotechnology has emerged in the last decade as an exciting new research field. Nanotechnology represents the design, production, and application of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, in order to produce new nanosized structures where at least one dimension is of roughly 1 to 100 nm, i.e., less than 0.1 ?m. However, materials below or next to 1 ?m (1000 nm) can be also commonly referred as nanomaterials or, more correctly, ultrathin materials. According to this, specifically within fiber science related literature, fibers with diameters below 1 ?m are broadly accepted as nanofibers.
Nanotechnology and nanoscience studies have emerged rapidly during the past years in a broad range of product domains. Today, nanoscience represents one of the rapidly growing scientific disciplines due to its enormous potential and impact in many different technological and engineering applications, which includes the development of new materials with novel and advanced performances.
Recently, the nano-scaled materials have attracted extensive research interests due to their high anisotropy and huge specific surface area. Furthermore, the continuously increasing interest in the nanostructure materials results from their numerous potential applications in various areas, particularly in biomedical sciences. Today, nanofibers and nanoparticles are at the forefront of nanotechnology because of their unique properties such as low density, extremely high surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface functionalities, superior mechanical performance (e.g. stiffness and tensile strength), and high pore volume and controllable pore size that cannot be found in other structures.
In this context, our researches have been concentrated on the production and modification of polymeric nanofibers and nanoparticles as drug delivery and environment applications.
To this purpose, selected materials for the nanofibers development (polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, modified poly(amido-amine) dendrimers, and modified hyperbranched polyglycerol) were combined with biopolymers, namely (poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) which enable us to overcome typical shortcomings of the above polymer matrices. As well, poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSMA) amphiphilic copolymer was used for production of nanoparticles.
