Cyana abrupta Volynkin & Černý, 2019, Ecologica Montenegrina 21: 59, Figs 5, 6, 15, 18 (Type locality: “NE India, Assam, Pan Bari Reserv Forest”).
Type material examined. Holotype: ♂, “NE India, Assam, Pan Bari Reserv [e] Forest, 27°08’N, 94°00’E, 4– 7.VII.1997, leg. Sinjaev & Murzin”, slide MWM 31805 Volynkin (Coll. MWM / ZSM).
Paratypes: 30 ♂ and 21 ♀ from India, Nepal and Bangladesh listed by Volynkin & Černý (2019).
Diagnosis. Forewing length is 14–16 mm in males and 17–19 mm in females. Cyana abrupta has no significant external differences from its closest relatives, C. indosinica Volynkin & Černý, 2018 and C. malayana Bucsek, 2012 (illustrated by Volynkin et al. 2018). The male genitalia of C. abrupta differ from those of C. indosinica by their trigonal lateral lobes of the vinculum (whereas in C. indosinica and other related species the lobes are more rounded), the much shorter and narrower medial posterior, medial anterior and distal diverticula, and the narrower medial dorsal diverticulum. The female genitalia differ from those of other related species (illustrated by Volynkin et al. 2017) by the shorter ductus bursae, the long, narrow and weakly rugose posterior sclerotized plate of the corpus bursae, the heavily sclerotized lateral band-like signum, and the significantly larger anterior signum.
Distribution. Nepal (Kishida 1994, as bianca), North and North East India (Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya) (Kirti et al. 2013, as bianca), Bangladesh (Volynkin et al. 2018 (as C. bianca); Volynkin & Černý 2019b).

Static and dynamic analysis of periodic lattice structures with applications to acoustic cloaks of the pentamode type
Creators: name: Nagy, Adam Julius
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: As a first step towards producing pentamode acoustic cloaks, so named for the type of elasticity required, periodic lattice structured materials are designed that mimic the acoustic properties of water. This material is termed Metal Water and is analyzed in detail. The requirements considered are matching of density and wave speed, this produces a type of metamaterial that couples acoustic wave energy from a background fluid into an elastic medium without reflection. General elastodynamic, scattering, and acoustic cloaking theories are reviewed. In application to scattering, a new method is developed for cylindrically layered elastic media, which combines impedance and matricant propagator matrices in a stable integration scheme. A variety of techniques are used to estimate and improve the homogenized material properties associated with Metal Water. Dispersion curves are found by the application of Bloch-Floquet theory  where a new approach that utilizes Euler-Bernoulli beams is developed. Results are compared against finite element methods capable of more accurately determining homogenized properties. Several designs are proposed in two and three dimensions with detailed studies including dispersion curve analysis as well as statically determined properties.

Selected topics in stochastic optimization
Creators: name: Ninh, Anh Tuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This report constitutes the Doctoral Dissertation for Anh Ninh and consists of three topics: log-concavity of compound Poisson and general compound distributions, discrete moment problems with fractional moments, and the recruitment stocking problems.    In the first topic, we find the conditions for the compound Poisson and general compound distributions to be log-concave (log-convex). This problem is very important not only from the stochastic optimization perspective but also from the theory of maximum entropy in probability. Some interesting connection to Tur{'a}n-type inequality will also be mentioned.       In the second topic, we formulate a linear programming problem to find the minimum and/or maximum of the expectation of a function of a discrete random variable, given the knowledge of fractional moments. Using a determinant theorem we fully characterize the dual feasible basis for this discrete fractional moment problem. With the dual feasible basis structure, Pr{'e}kopa dual method can be applied for its solution. Numerical examples show that by the use of fractional moments, we obtain tighter bounds for the objective.    In the third topic, we introduce a new class of inventory control model - the recruitment stocking problems. In particular, we analyze a general class of inventory control problem, in which we need to recruit a target number of individuals through designated outlets. As soon as the recruits of all outlets add up to the target number, the recruitment is done and no more individuals will be admitted. The arrivals of individuals at each outlet are random. To recruit an individual upon its arrival, we must provide a pack of materials. We order the packs of materials in advance and hold them in the outlets. Outlets can neither transfer recruits nor cross-ship materials among themselves. If an outlet runs out of stock, any futher recruit at the outlet will be lost. We propose both exact and approximation methods to measure key performance metrics for the system: Type I and II service levels and recruitment time. Extensive numerical study shows the effectiveness of our proposed framework.
Synoptic timescale variability and tropical-extratropical interaction along the south pacific convergence zone in climate model simulations
Creators: name: Niznik, Matthew J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) is simulated as too zonal a feature in current generation climate models, including those in Phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). On synoptic timescales, the SPCZ structure is controlled both by the amount of low-level inflow from the relatively dry southeastern Pacific as well as the tropical-extratropical interaction between transient synoptic systems and the mean background state. However, the fidelity with which CMIP5 models are capable of simulating these interactions has not been previously examined. Building on the analysis of observed SPCZ-region synoptic scale variability by Lintner and Neelin (2008), composite analysis of two reanalyses and 17 CMIP5 models reveals both individual models and their ensemble mean capture patterns of wind, specific humidity, and precipitation anomalies consistent with reanalysis and observational results. To further explore the difference between weak- and strong-inflow conditions, both are instantaneously imposed in an ensemble of experiments using the Quasi-equilibrium Tropical Circulation Model 2 (QTCM2). While imposed circulation anomalies lead to observed moisture and precipitation anomalies, imposed moisture anomalies manifest a weak circulation anomaly. Thus, it appears more likely that the initiation of SPCZ shifts is dynamic in nature.    Analysis of synoptic variability in the simulated subtropical SPCZ reveals that the basic mechanism of tropical-extratropical interaction is generally well simulated, with storms approaching the SPCZ along comparable trajectories to observations. However, there is a broad spread in mean precipitation and its variability across the CMIP5 ensemble. The region of mean negative zonal stretching deformation or “storm graveyard” in the upper troposphere is displaced in CMIP5 models to the northeast of its position in reanalysis data, albeit with pronounced (≈25°) inter-model longitudinal spread; SPCZ precipitation is similarly displaced and models with stronger storm graveyards show higher precipitation variability. Overall, these results further confirm that SPCZ errors are primarily related to a biased background state. Additionally, SPCZs simulated by CMIP5 models are not simply too zonal; rather, in models the subtropical SPCZ manifests a diagonal tilt similar to observations while SST biases force an overly zonal tropical SPCZ, resulting in a more discontinuous SPCZ than observed.

Discussion: The name kalubu has been attributed to Lesson, 1828, Dict. Class. Hist. Nat., 13:200; but see Husson (1955:290). According to Westerman et al. (2001), the molecular relationships of E. k. cockerelli (from New Britain and Duke of York Isl) are with E. rufescens rather than with other E. kalubu, but it is morphologically similar to kalubu.

Understanding individual level motivations for repeat service use in a family support program
Creators: name: Ocasio, Kerrie L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This study tested a conceptual model derived from health behavior theories to explain repeat service use in a primary child maltreatment prevention and family support program, the Family Success Centers (FSCs). FSCs are universal neighborhood-based centers that use a family support approach to engage families in a range of flexible services intended to promote protective factors and reduce risk for child maltreatment. Five Centers were selected in different parts of New Jersey from which 115 parents were interviewed shortly after coming to an FSC for the first time. Administrative data provided information on the number of times families returned over a three-month period following the interview. Extant research suggested that individual level motivations derive from perceptions related to psychologically, socially, and intervention related factors. This study used a three-stage process to test a model whereby intentions to repeat services were posited to mediate the relationship between repeat service use and perception of need, expectations of benefit, self-efficacy, integrated motivation, injunctive and descriptive social norms, and family support practices. Intention to return was predicted by older age, unemployment, integrated motivation, and family support practices. Contrary to the tenets of the Theory of Planned Behavior, intentions to return did not mediate the relationships between individual characteristics and repeat service use. Repeat service use was predicted by non-Hispanic White race/ethnicity, single/never married status, having had some college education, identification of complex service needs (versus concrete only), higher level of integrated motivation, and endorsement of a lower level of descriptive social norms (i.e. social network experience with similar services). Results suggest a need to address engagement most particularly for those that enter the program for the express purpose of meeting their concrete needs. Further, engaging first time participants to bring a friend or relative might improve repeat service use for those with more service involved social networks. Additional research is needed to understand the implications of site-level differences, better elucidate the role of integrated motivation in social service research, examine reasons why social networks that are involved in social services might attenuate repeat participation, and explore the utility of the intentions construct in research.

description: This thesis traces the interchanges of culture and cognition that helped to produce a unique eighteenth-century discourse of reading as a transport into an imaginary world. The figure of reading as a mode of transportation is present during many historical periods; however, it becomes more culturally prominent in eighteenth-century Britain, and it is during this period that “literary transportation” takes on many of the discursive features that have come down to us today – notably the association of enjoyable reading with the experience of vicarious spatial relocation of the self, and the particular use of this trope of vicarious relocation as a slander against bad reading, or “escapism.” I claim that this foundational work on the figure of transportation was enabled by eighteenth-century writers broad interest in exploring the psychology of imagination. Following work by neuroscientists such as Raymond Mar, I treat literary self-projection as part of a fundamental cognitive capacity for temporal and spatial imaginative self-projections of many kinds, including self-projection into one’s own past (autobiographical memory) or future (future-prospection), into another’s “shoes” (sympathy). Eighteenth-century writers were unusually engaged in explorations and speculations of human cognition; I claim that this cognitively and neurologically basic function of imaginative self-projection, “autonoetic consciousness,” is a prominent theme in those explorations – one that has been overlooked by conventional historical studies of imagination in the period. A broad constellation of key poetic forms and literary movements – loco-descriptive poetry, theories of the sublime, travel narrative, Romantic visionary poetics, sentimental novels, even Gothic terror – all engage centrally with the dynamics of self-projection, both as theoretical topic, and as performative literary practice. Reading these movements as close psychological kin, I argue for a culture of imagination that wavers between ecstatic embrace and fear of transportation’s dissolutions of the boundaries of selfhood, breaking away from the familiar genealogy of “creative imagination.” I trace these dynamics through the seminal “Preromantic” poems – Thomson’s The Seasons, Young’s Night Thoughts, and Cowper’s The Task – along with Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho and, finally, Keats’s “Ode to a Nightingale,” producing a history of eighteenth-century poetic imagination informed by the cognitive underpinnings of imaginative self-projection.

An examination of real-time covariates of motivation to quit smoking
Creators: name: Omar, Yasmine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This study explored the stability of motivation to quit during an assisted smoking cessation attempt and tested the hypothesis that changes in self-efficacy, nicotine withdrawal, and positive smoking expectancies would predict changes in motivation to quit smoking. We used Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data from a randomized clinical trial examining the effects of withdrawal exposure on smoking cessation success. Ninety-three adult smokers trying to quit smoking were randomized to either standard treatment (nicotine patch and individual counseling) or standard treatment plus pre-cessation withdrawal exposure through practice quitting sessions.  Participants reported their moment-to-moment willingness to work hard at quitting (motivation), confidence in ability to quit smoking (self-efficacy), positive smoking expectancies, negative affect, and additional withdrawal items. Reports were prompted three times per day, beginning two weeks before the quit date and continuing for one week post-quit. Hierarchical linear models indicated that baseline motivation to quit predicted real-time (time-varying) motivation to quit before, but not after the quit date, regardless of smoking status. During the two weeks pre-quit, motivation fluctuated over time as an average trend across participants when measured every 24 hours. During the same period, there was significant individual variability in real-time motivational patterns over time. These findings did not appear during the first week post-quit, however. Time-varying self-efficacy predicted contemporaneous real-time motivation to quit pre- and post-quit. Recent smoking was negatively related to motivation to quit after the quit day, but not pre-quit. Withdrawal symptoms and positive smoking expectancies were not significantly related to motivation to quit. Withdrawal exposure treatment also did not show a significant effect on motivation. More research is needed to assess the effect of fluctuations in motivation on cessation success.

Lack of phosphatidate phosphatase causes reduced chronological life span through increased energy expenditure and oxidative stress
Creators: name: Park, Yeonhee
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pah1 phosphatidate phosphatase, which catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid (PA) to yield diacylglycerol (DAG), plays a major role in the synthesis of the storage lipid triacylglycerol.  The evolutionarily conserved enzyme also regulates de novo phospholipid synthesis by controlling the level of PA, a precursor of membrane phospholipids.  In this work, we showed that the pah1Δ mutant is defective in growth on non-fermentable carbon sources.  Despite its apparent phenotype for respiratory deficiency, the pah1 mutant exhibited typical mitochondrial attributes, and even had an elevated mitochondrial membrane potential at the post-diauxic shift.  Although oxidative phosphorylation was not compromised, the cellular levels of ATP in quiescent pah1 mutant cells were reduced by two-fold, which correlated with a four-fold increase in membrane phospholipids.  Furthermore, the quiescent mutant cells exhibited three-fold elevations in mitochondrial superoxide and cellular lipid hydroperoxides, and acute sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide.  Consequently, the pah1 mutant had a shortened chronological life span.  This phenotype, along with the inability to grow on non-fermentable carbon sources and sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide was complemented by loss of the DGK1-encoded DAG kinase indicating that the underpinning of pah1 defects in quiescence was the imbalance of PA/DAG.  These results indicate that Pah1 PAP plays a crucial role in energy conservation and chronological life span through its regulation of lipid synthesis.

description: Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are important cosmological probes, but we are uncertain how they explode. There are two progenitor channels for SNe~Ia: single and double degenerate white dwarf (WD) systems. In either model, we expect the system to be detectable as a Supersoft X-ray Source (SSS) for a significant amount of time before the explosion. By studying these SSSs, we hope to improve our understanding of SNe~Ia. In Chapter 2, we analyze an interesting source (r1-25) in M31. We found that the source exhibited spectral changes to harder X-ray states. r1-25 is the first source of its kind, and we require unique physical models to fit its behavior. We find that existing WD models are inconsistent with the spectra of the source. We explore new black hole and neutron star models, and find that they can model the unusual behavior of r1-25.     In Chapter 3, we study three gravitationally lensed SNe from the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH).  Based on photometric classification, we found that two SNe (SN CLO12Car and CLN12Did) are likely to be SNe~Ia, while the classification of the third is inconclusive. Using multi-color light-curve fits to determine a standardized SN~Ia luminosity distance, we infer that SN CLO12Car was $sim 1.0 pm 0.2$ mag brighter than field SNe~Ia at a similar redshift and ascribe this to gravitational lens magnification. Similarly, SN CLN12Did is $sim 0.2 pm 0.2$ mag brighter than field SNe~Ia. From independent CLASH strong+weak lensing maps of the clusters , we derived similar magnifications for the two SNe~Ia. The two SNe~Ia provide a new test of the cluster lens model  predictions: we find that the magnifications based on the SN~Ia  brightness and those predicted by the lens maps are consistent.      Finally, in Chapter ef{c4} we discuss a new light curve fitter for SNe~Ia, which we call Multicolor Light Curve Shapes 3 (MLCS3). The project has not been completed, but we discuss some of the features, and the expected improvements from MLCS3 in the chapter. With nearly 1000 SNe~Ia usable for cosmology, we are currently systematics, not statistics, limited for constraining cosmology. MLCS3 will provide more accurate distance measurements for the SNe~Ia using a variety of improvements that have been suggested in the literature.

description: In addition to its value as a fisheries resource, the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica, is a reef building, cornerstone species that provides ecosystem services to the environment. Oysters provide habitat for associated resident and transient species. With widespread declines in oyster populations, restoration efforts have focused on improving oyster stocks and enhancing the ecosystem services they provide. Community-based oyster restoration programs engage the public and local community in planning, construction and/or monitoring of restoration projects. Since 2007, a K-12 student centered community-based restoration venture, Project PORTS, Promoting Oyster Restoration Through Schools, has been working to educate students, promote stewardship values, and enhance oyster habitat in the Delaware Bay. The overarching goals of the present study were to (1) assess fish and macroinvertebrate utilization on the Project PORTS community-created, subtidal, low-relief oyster restoration area in the Delaware Bay, and (2) convert the data collected into a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) activity that can be implemented in the classroom.    I examined six subtidal natural oyster reefs of varying oyster densities and one community-based restoration reef as habitat for fishes and invertebrates. Sampling methods on these low-relief reefs consisted of otter trawl tows and benthic habitat tray collections. Results revealed that the enhancement area supported a diverse faunal community consistent with nearby, natural oyster habitats.  Data collected during the field study were then transformed into an educational lesson plan, “One Fish, Two Fish- Assessing Habitat Value of Restored Oyster Reefs”, that fulfilled national and state (NJ) curriculum standards. The lesson was piloted in a middle school classroom and student learning was evaluated through summative assessments pre and post-participation in the activity. Results of the assessments indicated that students made strong gains in knowledge of oyster ecology and improved analytical skills by graphing data. This dual interest study demonstrated that a novel education program with a local, real-world connection positively enhanced crucial estuarine habitat while expanding STEM knowledge and skills of participating students.

description: Heteroaggregation is the aggregation in a mixed particle system where particles differ in size, chemical composition and charge. This heteroaggregation phenomenon has great importance in the natural environment as well as in industrial processes. The heteroaggregates have a wide range of applications such as particle stabilization, drug delivery and encapsulation. Previous studies of heteroaggregates have involved rigid spherical particles. In this work, we have used hydrophilic hydrogel particles which are oppositely charged and soft. These hydrogel particles, in particular, chitosan and alginate, have gained interest due to their biodegradability and nontoxicity as well as multiple delivery mechanisms. This study focuses on understanding the heteroaggregation behavior of chitosan nanoparticles and alginate microparticles and several factors affecting their interaction.   Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to characterize and identify boundaries between several heteroaggregate morphologies, or “phases,” in the system of chitosan nanoparticles and alginate microparticles. Optical microscopy was used to observe the aggregate phases formed by fluorescently tagged chitosan nanoparticles mixed with alginate microparticles. The effect of the concentration ratio of alginate microparticles and chitosan nanoparticles was also explored.  Next, the interaction between these particles was studied for varying pH of the system as pH is an important factor where micro- and nanoparticles are used as a drug delivery system. The interaction behavior was examined regarding the changes in solution ionic strength. Furthermore, fluorescence anisotropy, which is correlated to mobility, was used to observe aggregates’ formation with varying concentration and pH. Finally, fluorescence spectroscopy was performed in situ in a vial containing an alginate-chitosan system.

description: Missing data is a common problem in longitudinal clinical trials. Substantial missing data could introduce potential biases and undermine the scientific credibility of causal conclusions from clinical trials. To handle the missing data issue, it is always required by the regulatory agencies to pre-specify a primary analysis and sensitivity analysis in protocol or statistical analysis plan (SAP). Recent National Research Council (NRC) report questioned the reasonableness of the missing at random (MAR) setting as the primary analysis since MAR is a very special and doubtful assumption for the missing data mechanism, and the report encourages to use not missing at random (NMAR) setting as the primary analysis. One of the NMAR mechanisms is non-future dependence missing data (NFD-NMAR). It is also one of the recommended methods in the NRC report. This dissertation addressed this issue and proposed a process to investigate the mean-shift model with NFD-NMAR mechanism (NFD-Delta method). The goal is to provide, via the investigation process, a method of finding an appropriate shift parameter to specify the primary NMAR analysis in study protocol or SAP based on the maintenance of the type-I error rate for any late phase trial by simulations. The simulation set-up should be based on either early phase data or information from interim data of the current trial. The shift parameter of the NFD-Delta method constitutes the sensitivity analysis.   Several components were considered for the NFD shift parameter in this dissertation: the metric/unit, magnitude, and the algorithm to place the shift to examine the effect of these components on the type-I error rate (alpha) under the null hypothesis of no treatment effect.  For the metric factor, four different metric units were considered: constant STD1, constant RSD1,  STDk,  RSDk; for the magnitude factor, different values of shift parameter f were considered to investigate which f value is the appropriate shift parameter to control the type-I error rate to the nominal level; for the algorithm to implement the delta shift, three different methods were proposed: sequential, non-sequential and single adjustment method. Extensive simulations were conducted to investigate the type-I error rate. Correctness and robustness of the results were examined.

description: Recent recommendations for reforming science instruction have advocated placing  inquiry activities such as evidence evaluation, model-building, explanation, and  argumentation at the center of the curriculum. An increasing number of studies indicate  that instruction focused on these inquiry activities promote deep content learning and an  informed understanding of the nature of science. A major challenge in any inquiry  program is developing methods to move students’ reasoning forward. I report on the  results of three studies aimed at exploring strategies to make science inquiry instruction  more productive. The first two studies focus on the development of students’ ideas about  epistemic criteria. Study 1 examines 324 middle school students’ preinstructional ideas  about epistemic criteria for good scientific models. Study 2 examines four class  discussions in which students propose, vet, and adopt class lists of epistemic criteria.  Collectively, these two studies provide important information about students’  preinstructional ideas about scientific models and epistemic criteria as well as strategies  for promoting student understanding of epistemic criteria. The third study focuses on  students’ ability to coordinate evidence in order to develop a more inclusive, accurate  model as well as their understanding of epistemic criteria for good evidence. Study 3 describes the results of an interview study in which 29 middle school students attempted to coordinate multiple pieces of conflicting evidence.    Overall, the three studies provide insights into ways to design inquiry learning environments. In particular, they have implications for scaffolding inquiry--I argue that productive scientific discourse and inquiry activities can be scaffolded through reflection on epistemic criteria for evaluating the quality of models and evidence. Criteria provide important information on the extent to which student need to be introduced to science-specific criteria and the extent to which students need to be scaffolded when engaging with multiple pieces of evidence. Finally all three studies provide important theoretical information on students’ epistemic resources and the overall sophistication of their understanding of the nature of science.

description: Biologists make regular use of a large family of informational concepts. Examples include “signaling”, “coding”, “programming”, and more. Indeed, many biologists would go so far as to claim that biology is inherently an information science. The application of informational concepts in biology raises some intriguing philosophical questions, particularly when they are applied to low-level entities such as genes and other biomolecules. This dissertation looks at a subset of such applications in low-level biology. More specifically, I consider in detail the notion of a genetic program, of genetic representation, and of positional information (information about a cell’s location in the embryo). In the final part of this dissertation, I switch gears and consider some issues that arise in connection with information in a different biological domain, namely, human evolution.
