Vitamin Stability and Water-Solid Interactions
Creators: name: Voelker, Adrienne Lea
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Food sciences not elsewhere classified

description: This dissertation investigates two major structure-function relationships important to food science: vitamin stability and water-solid interactions. Thiamine, vitamin B1, is an essential micronutrient in the human diet. While thiamine is found naturally and as a fortification supplement in many foods, it is chemically unstable on exposure to heat and some co-formulated ingredients, with degradation exacerbated in prolonged shelf-life products. The instability of thiamine is a concern for the development of dietary deficiencies, which are prevalent even in developed countries; however, thiamine stability is not widely studied in the food or pharmaceutical industries. Thiamine is commercially available in two salt forms: thiamine mononitrate (TMN) and thiamine chloride hydrochloride (TClHCl). This study focused on documenting the storage stability of thiamine in solution, considering the effects of which commercially available salt form of the vitamin was used, vitamin concentration, pH, and ions present in solution by monitoring chemical stability and degradation kinetics over a 6-month to 1-year period following storage at 25-80ºC, and expanded these studies into food systems (bread doughs). The results from these studies, including the reaction kinetics of thiamine degradation, the degradation pathway, and the sensory impacts of the degradation products formed, especially as affected by pH and food matrix, can be used to improve thiamine stability and delivery in foods.The studies of water-solid interactions in this dissertation covered two topics: 1) the effects of formulating a variety of food-relevant additives on the crystallization tendency of amorphous sucrose; and 2) the effects of formulation on the moisture sorption behaviors and physical stability of spices, herbs, and seasoning blends. Sucrose lyophiles were co-formulated with a variety of additives and stored at 11-40% relative humidity (RH). The structural compatibility of sucrose with the additive, and related intermolecular interactions, dictated the tendency of the additive to either delay, prevent, or accelerate sucrose crystallization. Spices, herbs, and seasoning blends were exposed to increasing RH (23-75%) and temperature (20-50ºC) to determine the effect of storage and formulation on a variety of physical properties. In general, as complexity of blends increased, physical stability decreased. While this dissertation covers a wide variety of food chemistry and food materials science topics, including vitamin chemical stability, amorphous sucrose physical stability, and moisture sorption behaviors of spices, herbs, and seasoning blends, the findings provide valuable information on the chemical and physical stability of ingredient systems and how the structure-function relationships of the systems can be controlled for optimal ingredient functionality.

description: This paper explores a dynamic Bertrand competition between standard and premium e-commerce platforms with cross-network effect. We construct a two-period model in which platforms decide whether to adopt promotion in the first period, and the platforms’ decisions result in four scenarios. Our model illustrates that the platforms’ price competition in the first period is always fiercer than in the second period with the presence of a cross-network effect when no platform adopts promotion. Moreover, the first-period price competition could be weakened after introducing the promotion strategy. Intuitively, platforms want to make positive profits from promotions. Interestingly, we find that (1) the promotion-period profit of the platform could be negative, and (2) when both platforms A and B adopt the promotion strategy, at most one platform’s promotion-period profit can be negative. Meanwhile, we show that high marginal promotion cost deters both premium platform A and standard platform B from adopting promotions, while lower cost leads both or only one platform to engage in promotion. Finally, our analysis reveals that endogenous promotion strategies prevent platforms from falling into a prisoner’s dilemma.

Tourists' preferences of souvenir design based on expressive attributes: a cross-cultural perspective
Creators: name: Li, Ying
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Tourism management

description: This study investigates the expressive design attributes of souvenir design preferred by tourists by comparing and contrasting preferences and perceptions of tourists from two different cultural groups. The study used a conjoint design to allow respondents to rank their preferences of sampled souvenirs which represents various expressive design attributes of souvenirs. This study uses conjoint analysis to test the relationship between those expressive attributes and tourists’ perceived value and purchase intention. The results showed that the three expressive attributes, namely Makers’ Mark attribute, Iconofetish attribute, and Relational attribute impact American and Chinese tourists perceived values of souvenirs and purchase intentions. The part-worth utility score indicates that comparatively speaking, American tourists prefer souvenirs with a dominant makers’ mark and those that are connected to the local place or local people. On the other hand, Chinese tourists prefer souvenirs with a domestic iconofetish feature. This study highlights the relationship between the four perceived value – perceived functional value, perceived emotional value, perceived social value, and perceived novelty value – and the purchase intention, using Spearman’s correlation. These results contribute to the literature of souvenir design. The culturally based preferences between the US and Chinese tourists allow designers and retailers to create and design souvenirs based on their preferred expressive attributes.

description: Ultraviolet (UV) light is the primary risk factor for developing skin cancers like melanoma. Exposure to UV radiation causes damage to DNA in the form of bulky lesions like cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproducts (6-4 PPs). Unrepaired lesions that persist into replication result in mutations through mechanisms like translesion synthesis (TLS). Mutagenesis is lesion dependent and canonical lesions typically result in C>T substitutions. This mutation type, however, does not explain most recurrent driver mutations in melanoma. Recently identified atypical UV-induced lesions are more likely to be responsible for driving melanomagenesis. In part one of this dissertation, we describe the impact of translesion synthesis on the mutagenesis of atypical UV-induced lesions and determine that DNA pol η protects against canonical C>T substitutions as well as an atypical C>A mutation
description: in yeast. However, it is mutagenic across an atypical AC photoproduct, contributing to AC>TT substitutions that correspond to a common melanoma driver mutation: BRAF V600K. DNA pol ζ and replicative DNA pol ε were also involved in the bypass of AC>TT and A>T atypical mutations. In part two of this dissertation, we aimed to characterize the formation of atypical UV-induced mutations in single-stranded DNA, which is known to be hypermutable and could explain how some of the rare lesions are formed. We show that UV exposure induces a different spectrum of mutations in single-stranded DNA and highlight additional potential lesions that form more efficiently in single-stranded DNA including AT and TG lesions resulting in T>A and G>T/T>G mutations, respectively. Mutations in single stranded DNA also respond differently to the loss of pol η, indicating that even the typical mutation types may not all from canonical lesions in this environment. Collectively, these results highlight that UV-induced mutagenesis is more complex than previously thought and strengthens the direct link between UV exposure and driver mutations in skin cancers. Further investigation of the atypical lesions will provide important insights into the driving mechanisms of melanoma development.

description: Nowadays, due to the fierce market competition, companies in many industries needs to constantly introduce new products. How to select an optimal product design has become a widespread problem. Due to complexity and a large number of decision makers (DMs) participating in decision-making, this paper formulates the product design selection as a type of large-scale group decision making (LSGDM). Because of the differences in occupation, purpose, and personality of DMs in LSGDM, they prefer to provide evaluations by heterogeneous representation formats. A hierarchical consensus reaching model is developed based on trust and uncertain degree for heterogeneous LSGDM. Firstly, the heterogeneous evaluations of DMs are transformed into fuzzy preference relations (FPRs) through possibility degrees. According to trust relationships and original evaluations of DMs, the trust and uncertain degrees of DMs are extracted considering the inherent personalities and psychological traits implied in the heterogeneous evaluations. Thereby, this paper (1) constructs an optimization model to determine the weights of DMs and (2) divides the feedback mechanism into four cases. Case study of product design selection is provided to illustrate the applicability of the proposed model. Several comparisons validate the advantages of the proposed model.
An Exergetic Comparison of Copper Extraction from Chalcopyrite Concentrates by Pyrometallurgy and Hydrometallurgy

description: Copper is an essential metal in today’s economy, due to its superior electrical and thermal conductivities, alloying properties, and chemical uses. Most copper is produced viamining and refining, and most copper is found in the earth’s crust as chalcopyrite, CuFeS2. Typically, chalcopyrite is concentrated and fed to a high temperature pyrometallurgical process which produces >99.99% purity copper cathodes. Recently, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. has implemented a hydrometallurgical autoclave-leaching process that takes chalcopyrite concentrate and produces copper cathodes. It is imperative that these pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes be modeled and compared so that the extraction industry can best decide which technology to apply in the future. This work presents transient, reduced-order models for the comparison of the two processes using exergy balances. Exergy is typically thought of as the maximum work extractable from a system as it spontaneously reacts to the state of the surrounding environment; for extractive processes, it is also helpful to think of exergy as the minimum work required to effect a concentration, e.g. of copper. Exergy balances are thus similar to first law balances, but they comment on the location and magnitude of usefulenergy flows, instead of energy flows in general. For the baseline case, this work found that the pyrometallurgical process up to 99.5% copper anode stored 54% of the fed exergy in product, lost 20% of the fed exergy, and destroyed the remaining 26%. In contrast, the hydrometallurgical process up to 30 grams-per-liter copper pregnant-leach-solution stored 5% of the fed exergy in product, lost 9% of the fed exergy, and destroyed the remaining 86%. The effects of process variations are also looked at. It is recommended that this work be incorporated in whole-plant exergy balances to more precisely examine the tradeoffs between the pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical routes of copper extraction from chalcopyrite concentrates.

description: The shortage of electric vehicle charging piles (EVCPs) has seriously restricted the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). To support the EV industry, policymakers such as the Chinese government propose two schemes to encourage automakers to build EVCPs: unit subsidy (US) where the policymakers provide a certain subsidy per EVCP, and percentage subsidy (PS) where the policymakers provide a percentage of funds based on the construction cost of EVCPs. Our study shows that the PS scheme leads to more EVCPs and higher EV adoption and subsidy efficiency than the US scheme when the policymaker’s objective is to maximize subsidy efficiency, defined as EV adoption minus subsidy expenditure. However, when the policymaker pursues social welfare maximization, the policies are equivalent. Basically, the automaker makes less profit under the US scheme than the PS scheme only if the policymaker’s EV adoption target is low and the automaker’s unit EV production cost is small. Nevertheless, when we consider market competition or social welfare, the automaker’s profit under the US scheme is always higher than under the PS scheme. Finally, if the government raises its EV adoption target, it will need to increase subsidies, so automakers will gain more profits, but the government’s subsidy efficiency will be reduced.

description: The heavy duty transportation sector is projected to grow in the coming decades. Increasing the fuel economy of class 8 vehicles would simultaneously decrease CO2 emissions and decrease the annual fuel expenditures that account for nearly a quarter of cargo companies' annual budgets. Most technology that has aimed to do this has primarily been focused on either improvements in engine efficiency or reduction of aerodynamic drag. This thesis addresses a somewhat different approach: the optimization of vehicle dynamics in order to realize fuel savings.
Through partnerships with Peloton Technology and Cummins, tests and simulations were conducted on corridors with grades up to 5% that indicate fuel savings of up to 14.4% can be achieved through the combination of three strategies: two-truck platooning, long-horizon predictive cruise control (LHPCC), and simultaneous shifting. Two-truck platooning is the act of drafting a rear truck behind a front truck. It has been shown that this not only reduces the drag of the follow vehicle, but also that of the lead vehicle. LHPCC is an optimization of the lead truck's velocity over a given corridor to get "from point A to point B" in the most efficient way possible whilst doing so with a trip time constraint. Last is the use of simultaneous shifting, which allows the follow vehicle to maintain the proper platoon gap distance behindthe lead truck.

description: We investigate how to build a robust portfolio by introducing a novel multi-task learning model that fuses predicted returns and residual data to assess the portfolio risk under the decision-making framework of Mean-VaR. A common way to build a portfolio is to predict the return of assets and then allocate weights according to the predicted return and corresponding risk. However, predicting asset returns accurately in financial markets remains a challenge. To improve prediction accuracy and, more importantly, effectively reduce risk in the portfolio, we adopt the multi-task learning anomaly detection (MTLAD). In this model, predicting asset returns using deep learning model (long short-term memory, LSTM) is the main task, and anomaly detection is the auxiliary task. We then combine the predicted returns and residual data to evaluate the risk measure when allocating the asset weights. Furthermore, we perform an extensive numerical investigation based on data in the Chinese financial market. Results obtained show that our robust portfolio management approach has great potential compared with multiple benchmarks.

description: Addressing class imbalance in oversampling domain using machine learning methods requires careful selection of techniques and classifiers for optimal outcomes. While the importance of technique choice is well recognized, research on how dataset characteristics affect classification results remained limited. This study fills this gap by analyzing 16 datasets, categorized by financial relevance, temporal relevance, minority rate, minority sample count, and feature count. The effectiveness of various oversampling techniques is systematically evaluated and ranked using F1 and AUC, providing a structured framework for assessing the suitability of these techniques across diverse datasets. The evaluation involved 15 classifiers, resulting in 75 models combining four oversampling techniques and a baseline classifier. A ranking mechanism identified five top-performing models, emphasizing that classifier performance is influenced by the choice of the oversampling method, depending on dataset type. Notably, the traditional Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) outperformed the approaches based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) across different classifiers and datasets. Among classifiers, random forest proved to be the most robust across all dataset types, surpassing boosting-based classifiers. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into selecting the optimal oversampling methods and classifiers for specific dataset characteristics, offering a framework for addressing class imbalance in various contexts.

description: We study the virial mass discrepancy in the context of a DPG brane-world scenario and show that such a framework can offer viable explanations to account for the mass discrepancy problem. This is done by defining a geometrical mass $\mathcal{N}$ that we prove to be proportional to the virial mass. Estimating $\mathcal{N}$ using observational data, we show that it behaves linearly with $r$ and has a value of the order of $M_{200}$, pointing to a possible resolution of the virial mass discrepancy. We also obtain the radial velocity dispersion of galaxy clusters and show that it is compatible with the radial velocity dispersion profile of such clusters. This velocity dispersion profile can be used to differentiate various models predicting the virial mass.

description: Global demand for high performance, low cost, and eco-friendly electronics is ever increasing. Ion/charge transport ability and mechanical adaptability constitute two critical performance metrics of battery and semiconductor materials, which are fundamentally correlated with their structural dynamics under various operating conditions. It is imperative to reach the mechanistic understanding of the structure-property relationships of electronic materials to develop principles of materials design. Nevertheless, the intricate atomic structure and elusive phase behaviors in the operation of devices challenge direct experimental observations. Herein, we employ a spectrum of modeling methods, including quantum chemistry, ab-initio modeling, and molecular dynamics simulation, to systematically study the phase dynamics and physico-mechanical behaviors of multiple electronic materials, ranging from transition-metal cathodes, polymer derived ceramics anodes, to organic semiconductor crystals. The multiscale atomistic modeling enriches the fundamental understanding of the electro-chemo-mechanical behaviors of battery materials, which provides insight on designing state-of-the-art energy materials with high capacity and high structural stability. By leveraging the genetic-algorithm refined molecular modeling and phase transformation theory, we unveil the molecular mechanisms of thermo-, super- and ferroelastic transition in organic semiconductor crystals, thus promoting new avenues of adaptive organic electronics by molecular design. Furthermore, the proposed computational methodologies and theoretical frameworks throughout the thesis can find use in exploring the phase dynamics in a variety of environmentally responsive electronics.

description: Two problems related to dark matter is considered in the context of a brane world model in which the confinement of gauge fields on the brane is achieved by invoking a confining potential. First, we show that the virial mass discrepancy can be addressed if the conserved geometrical term appearing in this model is considered as an energy momentum tensor of an unknown type of matter, the so-called X-matter whose equation of state is also obtained. Second, the galaxy rotation curves are explained by assuming an anisotropic energy momentum tensor for the X-matter.

description: We consider a brane world scenario in which the bulk action is assumed to have the form of a generic function of the Ricci scalar $f(\mathcal{R})$ and derive the resulting Einstein field equations on the brane. In a constant curvature bulk a conserved geometric quantity appears in the field equations which can be associated with matter. We present cosmological and spherically symmetric solutions by assuming specific forms for $f(\mathcal{R})$ and show that the former can explain an accelerated expanding universe while the latter may account for galaxy rotation curves.

description: The accelerated expansion of the universe together with its present day isotropy has posed an interesting challenge to the numerous model theories presented over the years to describe them. In this paper, we address the above questions in the context of a brane-world model where the universe is filled with a Born-Infeld matter. We show that in such a model, the universe evolves from a highly anisotropic state to its present isotropic form which has entered an accelerated expanding phase.

description: Channel integration/centralization understood as joint pricing of multiple channels is touted as the ideal organization to maximize the profitability of multichannel retailers. This study challenges this claim and analytically examines with two two-period models whether multi-channel retailers should centralize or decentralize online and offline pricing decisions when vertical channel interactions and consumer reference price effects are considered. We found that under certain conditions (which depend on several factors, including the manufacturer’s advertising strategies over the two periods, the intensity of price competition between channels, and the consumers’ sensitivity to price changes over time), the retailer may find it optimal to centralize or decentralize online and offline pricing decisions. Therefore, our findings support the idea that multichannel retailing integration is not a panacea, especially in a context where complex vertical interactions with manufacturers are taken into account and where consumers compare current market prices to recent past prices at the time of purchase.

description: We consider a gravitational model in which matter is non-minimally coupled to geometry, with the effective Lagrangian of the gravitational field being given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar, the trace of the matter energy-momentum tensor, and the contraction of the Ricci tensor with the matter energy-momentum tensor. The field equations of the model are obtained in the metric formalism, and the equation of motion of a massive test particle is derived. In this type of models the matter energy-momentum tensor is generally not conserved, and this non-conservation determines the appearance of an extra-force acting on the particles in motion in the gravitational field. The Newtonian limit of the model is also considered, and an explicit expression for the extra-acceleration which depends on the matter density is obtained in the small velocity limit for dust particles. We also analyze in detail the so-called Dolgov-Kawasaki instability, and obtain the stability conditions of the model with respect to local perturbations. A particular class of gravitational field equations can be obtained by imposing the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor. We derive the corresponding field equations for the conservative case by using a Lagrange multiplier method, from a gravitational action that explicitly contains an independent parameter multiplying the divergence of the energy-momentum tensor. The cosmological implications of the model are investigated for both the conservative and non-conservative cases, and several classes of analytical solutions are obtained.

description: The need for parameter estimation with massive datasets has reinvigorated interest in stochastic optimization and iterative estimation procedures. Stochastic approximations are at the forefront of this recent development as they yield procedures that are simple, general, and fast. However, standard stochastic approximations are often numerically unstable. Deterministic optimization, on the other hand, increasingly uses proximal updates to achieve numerical stability in a principled manner. A theoretical gap has thus emerged. While standard stochastic approximations are subsumed by the framework of Robbins and Monro (1951), there is no such framework for stochastic approximations with proximal updates. In this paper, we conceptualize a proximal version of the classical Robbins-Monro procedure. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed procedure has important stability benefits over the classical Robbins-Monro procedure, while it retains the best known convergence rates. Exact implementations of the proximal Robbins-Monro procedure are challenging, but we show that approximate implementations lead to procedures that are easy to implement, and still dominate classical procedures by achieving numerical stability, practically without tradeoffs. Moreover, approximate proximal Robbins-Monro procedures can be applied even when the objective cannot be calculated analytically, and so they generalize stochastic proximal procedures currently in use.
