description: Imaging at range for the purposes of biometric, scientific, or militaristic applications often suffer due to degradations by the atmosphere. These degradations, due to the non-uniformity of the atmospheric medium, can be modeled as being caused by turbulence. Dating back to the days of Kolmogorov in the 1940’s, the field has had many successes in modeling and some in mitigating the effects of turbulence in images. Today, modern restoration methods are often in the form of learning-based solutions which require a large amount of training data. This places atmospheric turbulence mitigation at an interesting point in its history; simulators which accurately capture the effects of the atmosphere were developed without any consideration of deep learning methods and are often missing critical requirements for today’s solutions.
In this work, we describe a simulator which is not only fast and accurate but has the additional property of being end-to-end differentiable, allowing for end-to-end training with a reconstruction network. This simulation, which we refer to as Zernike-based simulation, performs at a similar level of accuracy as its purely optics-based simulation counterparts while being up to 1000x faster. To achieve this we combine theoretical developments, engineering efforts, and learning-based solutions. Our Zernike-based simulation not only aids in the application of modern solutions to this classical problem but also opens the field to new possibilities with what we refer to as computational image formation.chimi

description: The ideal storage infrastructure scales to meet new demands. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on the capacity and performance scalability of a storage infrastructure. Current trends towards massive storage infrastructures comprised entirely of commodity components demand broader forms of scalability. The next generation of storage infrastructures must scale to tolerate more and varied types of faults. Fault-scalability, the ability to tolerate large numbers of faults efficiently, is needed so that the simultaneous failures of multiple commodity components can be tolerated. Versatility, the ability to store objects with radically different resiliency (fault-tolerance) and performance requirements simultaneously and efficiently, is needed so that a deployed storage infrastructure can meet new demands as they are identified.

This dissertation develops a set of related protocols for reading and writing data objects called the Read/Write Protocol Family (R/W-PF) that enables a versatile storage infrastructure to be built. The R/W-PF provides versatility: objects with different per-object resiliency requirements can be stored in the same storage infrastructure. The costs (response time, number of servers required, etc.) of storing an object are commensurate with its resiliency requirements. The R/W-PF incorporates versatile storage mechanisms, such as erasure codes, witnesses, and quorums, in its design, allowing the efficiency of read and write access to stored objects to be tuned to meet capacity and performance requirements.

Measurements of PASIS, a prototype storage system based on the R/WPF, demonstrate its versatility. These measurements show that the R/W-PF also provides fault-scalability. Measurements show the differing performance costs associated with various resiliency requirements and the workloaddependent merits of the storage mechanisms incorporated in the R/W-PF. The significant trade-offs associated with resiliency and storage mechanism choices underscore the importance of versatility in storage infrastructures

Delayed Instantiation Bulk Operations for Management of Distributed, Object-based Storage Systems (CMU–PDL–09–108)
Creators: name: Klosterman, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 80499 Data Format not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The basic distributed, object-based storage system model lacks features for storage management. This work presents and analyzes a strategy for using existing facilities to implement atomic operations on sets of objects. These bulk operations form the basis for managing snapshots (read-only copies) and forks (read-write copies) of portions of the storage system. Specifically, we propose to leverage the access control capabilities, and annotations at the metadata server, to allow for selective clone and delete operations on sets of objects.

In order to act upon a set of objects, a bulk operation follows these steps. First, the metadata server accepts the operation, contacts the storage nodes to revoke outstanding capabilities on the set of objects, and retains a record of the operation and the affected set of objects. At this point, clients can make no changes to existing objects since any capabilities they hold will be rejected by storage nodes. Second, when clients subsequently contact the metadata server to access affected objects (e.g., acquire fresh capabilities), any records of bulk operations are consulted. Finding that a client is accessing an affected object, the metadata server will take the necessary steps to enact the uninstantiated operation before responding to the client request. This eventual enforcement of operation semantics ensures compliance with the operation’s intent but delays the corresponding work until the next client access. With appropriate background instantiation, the work of instantiating bulk operations can be hidden from clients.

In this dissertation, we present algorithms suitable for performing bulk operations over distributed objects using m-of-n encodings. The core logic is concentrated at the metadata server, with minimal support at clients and storage nodes. We quantify the overheads associated with the implementation and describe schemes for mitigating them. We demonstrate the use of bulk operations to create snapshots in an NFS server running atop distributed, object-based storage
Efficient, Scalable Consistency for Highly Fault-tolerant Storage (CMU-PDL-04-111)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Fault-tolerant storage systems spread data redundantly across a set of storage-nodes in an effort to preserve and provide access to data despite failures. One difficulty created by this architecture is the need for a consistent view, across storage-nodes, of the most recent update. Such consistency is made difficult by concurrent updates, partial updates made by clients that fail, and failures of storage-nodes.

This thesis demonstrates a novel approach to achieving scalable, highly fault-tolerant storage systems by leveraging a set of efficient and scalable, strong consistency protocols enabled by storage-node versioning. Versions maintained by storage-nodes can be used to provide consistency, without the need for central serialization, and despite concurrency. Since versions are maintained for every update, even if a client fails part way through an update, concurrency exists during an update, the latest complete version of the data-item being accessed still exists in the system—it does not get destroyed by subsequent updates. Additionally, versioning enables the use of optimistic protocols.

This thesis develops a set of consistency protocols appropriate for constructing blockbased storage and metadata services. The block-based storage protocol is made space efficient through the use of erasure codes and made scalable by offloading work from the storage-nodes to the clients. The metadata service is made scalable by avoiding the high costs associated with agreement algorithms and by utilizing threshold voting quorums. Fault-tolerance is achieved by developing each protocol in a hybrid storage-node faultmodel (a mix of Byzantine and crash storage-nodes can be tolerated), capable of tolerating crash or Byzantine clients, and utilizing asynchronous communication.
IMPLEMENTING ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP IN THE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
Creators: name: Walters, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Antibiotic resistance, an increasing threat in healthcare, is driven by the misuse of antibiotics. It is critical to follow clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and management of infections, so that antibiotics are used only when appropriate. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common pediatric infections and effective management requires appropriate diagnostic methods and treatment. The literature suggests that there is variation in practice with specimen collection for pediatric emergency department patients when UTI is suspected. Furthermore, there is a wide variation in treatment with broad and narrow spectrum antibiotics (Copp, Yiee, Smith, Hanley, & Saigal, 2013; Coutinho, Stensland, Akhavan, Jaydevan, & Stock, 2014; Selekman, Allen, & Copp, 2016; Percival et al., 2015). The pediatric emergency department at UNC Hospitals did not have a standard protocol for the diagnostic testing or treatment of uncomplicated UTI. There was an opportunity to improve practice at the pediatric emergency department by standardizing uncomplicated UTI diagnostic testing and treatment according to local bacterial resistance patterns. Using quality improvement methodologies and the Lewin Change Theory, an evidence-based standardized clinical decision support algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated pediatric UTI was implemented at UNC Hospitals Pediatric Emergency Department for patients ages 3 months to 12 years with suspected UTI.  During the QI project, 458 children were assessed for UTI and 75 children diagnosed with UTI. The QI project resulted in sustained improvements in provider adherence to: correctly ordered specimens, correct management of positive urinalysis results and use of recommended antibiotics. Balancing measures showed no significant differences between pre- and post-intervention periods.This project has shown that the implementation of a simple, low-cost evidence-based algorithm, can be effective for improving provider adherence to antibiotic stewardship efforts, especially when tailored to a specific department or unit’s workflow. This is the first QI project to both address standardization of specimen collection and treatment for pediatric UTI in the emergency department setting and our findings suggest this can be done with no adverse outcomes.

description: North American archaeology is well behind European archaeology in effectively addressing the special conservation concerns for metal artifacts. The primary threat to archaeological metals is corrosion. The copper alloy cartridge cases and lead slugs recovered from Fort Fred Steele, Wyoming, are excellent examples of metal corrosion and conservation in North America. With a basic understanding of corrosion and corrosion products, effective recovery, cleaning, and storage techniques can be devised to preserve the physical integrity and research potential metal artifacts possess. Relative humidity, temperature, and pollutants are the primary factors which must be controlled for effective conservation and preservation of archaeological metals. Effective conservation of archaeological metals also benefits the public. Archaeological artifacts, especially those from public lands, are held in public trust. Therefore, effective conservation becomes the responsibility of archaeologists and curators on behalf of the public. Also, stable, well-preserved artifacts improve the quality of public education programs and museum exhibits.

description: Daily and monthly rainfall data provided by surface rain gauges in the Amazon Basin are sparse and defective, making it difficult to monitor rainfall patterns for certain portions of its territory, in this sense, estimations of precipitation from remote sensing calibrated with rain gauge data are key to overcome this problem. This paper presents a spatiotemporal analysis of the precipitation distribution for Rondônia State, in southwestern Amazonia. Data from Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation and Station (CHIRPS) were analyzed, using a pooled time analysis of a forty-year period (1981–2020). Data obtained from remote sensing were validated by rain gauges distributed over the study region. Pixel-by-pixel trend analyzes were developed by applying the Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s slope test to study the magnitude of the trend. The analysis revealed that CHIRPS presents a tendency to underestimate precipitation values in most cases. Among the metrics, mean values between very good (<±15%) and good (±15–±35%) were observed using PBIAS; mean RMSE values range from 57.8 mm to 107.9 mm; an average agreement level of 0.9 and an average SES of 0.5; and good fit for the linear regression model (average R2 > 0.70) for about 64.7% of the stations. Sen’ slope spatialization results show a reduction of approximately −15 mm year−1, with decrease mainly in the Northern Region of Rondônia, which has extensive areas where the native forest has been replaced by pasture.

description: As HPC applications run on increasingly high process counts on larger and larger machines, both the frequency of checkpoints needed for fault tolerance and the resolution and size of Data Analysis Dumps are expected to increase proportionally. In order to maintain an acceptable ratio of time spent performing useful computation work to time spent performing I/O, write bandwidth to the underlying storage system must increase proportionally to this increase in the checkpoint and computation size. Unfortunately, popular scientific self-describing file formats such as netCDF and HDF5 are designed with a focus on portability and exibility. Extra care and careful crafting of the output structure and API calls is required to optimize for write performance using these APIs. To provide sufficient write bandwidth to continue to support the demands of scientific applications, the HPC community has developed a number of I/O middleware layers, that structure output into write-optimized file formats. However, the obvious concern with any write optimized file format would be a corresponding penalty on reads. In the log-structured filesystem, for example, a file generated by random writes could be written efficiently, but reading the file back sequentially later would result in very poor performance. Simulation results require efficient read-back for visualization and analytics, and though most checkpoint files are never used, the efficiency of a restart is very important in the face of inevitable failures. The utility of write speed improving middleware would be greatly diminished if it sacrificed acceptable read performance. In this paper we examine the read performance of two write-optimized middleware layers on large parallel machines and compare it to reading data natively in popular file formats.

description: The PRLs are a subfamily of dual specificity phosphatases that appear to play important roles in oncogenesis. Much of the current understanding of PRL function has been either correlative, and deduced from observed PRL overexpression in pathological conditions, or from in vitro analysis of signaling pathways following PRL deletion or overexpression. Such studies, necessitated by the general lack of synthetic inhibitors or compounds to probe the substrate specificity and biological interactions of the PRLs, are nonetheless now providing critical insight into potential biological substrates and roles of the PRL phosphatases. The recent identification of PTEN as a substrate for PRL2 provided the foundation for studies to further define the role of PRL2 in oncogenesis and, by analogy, the normal physiological function of PRL2. In the studies described herein, a novel PRL2 conditional knock-out animal was generated and used to validate the PRL2/PTEN interaction in a leukemic phenotype, and further demonstrated that PRL2 inhibition can restore dysregulated PTEN/AKT pathways to significantly attenuate disease progression. Inhibition of PRL2 therefore represents a novel potential therapeutic strategy in the management and treatment of AML. This thesis project also sought to further examine the role of the PRLs in oncogenesis through their regulation and interaction of targets within the TME. Functional analyses revealed that PRL3 was the only PRL to have a prominent role in host response to TME development, and that previously proposed roles for PRL3 in angiogenesis and immune cell recruitment is dependent upon PRL3 expression and activity in cells external to the TME. The study also revealed a previously unrecognized synergism between VEGF and PRL3 in the host in promoting TME angiogenesis. The studies of PRL3 in the TME suggest the potential physiological role of PRL3 in wound healing.

description: Nonradiative carrier recombination is of both great applied and fundamental importance.But the correct ab initio approaches to calculate it remains to be inconclusive. Here we used 5 different formalisms to calculate the nonradiative carrier recombinations of two complex defect structures GaP:Zn_Ga-O_P and GaN:Zn_Ga-V_N, and compared the results with experiments.In order to apply different multiphonon assisted electron transition formalisms, we have calculated the electron-phonon coupling constants by ab initio density functional theory for all phonon modes. Compared with different methods, the capture coefficients calculated by the static coupling theory are 4.30*10^-8 and 1.46*10^-7 cm^3/s for GaP:Zn_Ga-O_P and GaN:Zn_Ga-V_N, which are in good agreement with the experiment results, 4*10^-8 and 3.0*10^-7 cm^3/s respectively. We also provided arguments for why the static coupling theory should be used to calculate the nonradiative decays of semiconductors.

description: Connections is a file system search tool that combines traditional content-based search with context information gathered from user activity. By tracing file system calls, Connections can identify temporal relationships between files and use them to expand and reorder traditional content search results. Doing so improves both recall (reducing falsepositives) and precision (reducing false-negatives). For example, Connections improves the average recall (from 13% to 22%) and precision (from 23% to 29%) on the first ten results. When averaged across all recall levels, Connections improves precision from 17% to 28%. Connections provides these benefits with only modest increases in average query time (2 seconds), indexing time (23 seconds daily), and index size (under 1% of the user's data set).

description: Layered clustering allows unmodified distributed file systems to enjoy many of the benefits of cluster-based file ser-vices. By interposing between clients and servers, layered clustering requires no changes to clients, servers, or the client-server protocol. Cuckoo demonstrates one particular use of layered clustering: spreading load among a set of otherwise independent NFS servers. Specifically, Cuckoo replicates frequently-read, rarely-updated files from each server onto others. When one server has a queue of requests, read requests to its replicated files are offloaded to other servers. No client-server protocol changes are involved. Sitting between clients and servers, the Cuckoo interposer simply modifies selected fields of NFS requests and responses. Cuckoo provides this load shedding with about 2000 semicolons of C code. Further, analyses of NFS traces indicate that replicating only 1000 - 10,000 objects allows 42 - 77% of all operations to be offloaded.

description: The usage of cumulative luminosity distributions, constructed thanks to the long-term observations available through wide field hard X-ray imagers, has been recently exploited to study the averaged high energy emission (>17 keV) from Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) and classical Supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries (SgXBs). Here, we take advantage of the long term monitorings now available with Swift/XRT to construct for the first time the cumulative luminosity distributions of a number of SFXTs and the classical SgXB IGR J18027-2016 in the soft X-ray domain with a high sensitivity focusing X-ray telescope (0.3-10 keV). By complementing previous results obtained in the hard X-rays, we found that classical SgXBs are characterized by cumulative distributions with a single knee around $\sim$10$^{36}$-10$^{37}$ erg/s, while SFXTs are found to be systematically sub-luminous and their distributions are shifted at significantly lower luminosities (a factor of $\sim$10-100). As the luminosity states in which these sources spend most of their time are typically below the sensitivity limit of large field of view hard X-ray imagers, we conclude that soft X-ray monitorings carried out with high sensitivity telescopes are particularly crucial to reconstruct the complete profile of the SFXT cumulative luminosity distributions. The difference between the cumulative luminosity distributions of classical SgXBs and SFXTs is interpreted in terms of accretion from a structured wind in the former sources and the presence of magnetic/centrifugal gates or a quasi-spherical settling accretion regime in the latter.

Furry picture transition rates in the intense fields at a lepton collider interaction point
Creators: name: Hartin, Anthony
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The effect on particle physics processes by intense electromagnetic fields in the charge bunch collisions at future lepton colliders is considered. Since the charge bunch fields are tied to massive sources (the $e^{+}e^{-}$ charges), a reference frame is chosen in which the fields appear to be co-propagating. Solutions of the Dirac equation minimally coupled to the electromagnetic fields reasonably associated with two intense overlapping charge bunches are obtained and found to be a Volkov solution with respect to a null 4-vector whose 3-vector part lies in the common propagation direction. These solutions are used within the Furry interaction picture to calculate the beamstrahlung transition rate for electron radiation due to interaction with the electromagnetic fields of two colliding charge bunches. New analytic expressions are obtained and compared numerically with the beamstrahlung in the electromagnetic field of one charge bunch. The techniques developed will be applied to other collider physics processes in due course.

description: One class of worm defense techniques that received attention of late is to “rate limit” outbound traffic to contain fast spreading worms. Several proposals of rate limiting techniques have appeared in the literature, each with a different take on the impetus behind rate limiting. This paper presents an empirical analysis on different rate limiting schemes using real traffic and attack traces from a sizable network. In the analysis we isolate and investigate the impact of the critical parameters for each scheme and seek to understand how these parameters might be set in realistic network settings. Analysis shows that using DNS-based rate limiting has substantially lower error rates than schemes based on other traffic statistics. The empirical analysis additionally brings to light a number of issues with respect to rate limiting in practice. We explore the impact of these issues in the context of general worm containment.

Airway Volume and Shape from Cone-Beam CT: Relationship to Facial Morphology
Creators: name: Grauer, Dan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records of 62 non-growing patients were used to evaluate the pharyngeal airway volume (upper and lower components), and the shape of the airway, using semi-automatic segmentations to calculate real volumes instead of estimates based on linear measurements. The sample was divided according to anteroposterior jaw relationships and vertical proportions. There was a statistically significant relationship between the volume of the lower component and a-p jaw relationship, and between airway volume and both the size of the face and gender. No differences in airway volumes related to vertical facial proportions were observed. Skeletal Class II patients tended to display forward inclination of the airway, greater projection of the tongue into the airway, and narrower airways. Skeletal Class III patients usually had a vertically-oriented airway. This study is a pioneer in measuring real 3-D models and controlling for face size.

description: In this paper we provide a purely algebraic characterization of the exponents of one-dimensional direct images of a structure sheaf by a rational function, related to the vanishing of the cohomologies of a certain Koszul complex associated with such a morphism. This can be extended to a more general family of Gauss-Manin systems. As an application, we calculate a set of possible exponents of the Gauss-Manin cohomology of some arrangements of hyperplanes with multiplicities, relevant to Dwork families and mirror symmetry.

description: We generalize Drinfeld's notion of the center of a tensor category to bicategories. In this generality, we present a spectral sequence to compute the basic invariants of Drinfeld centers: the abelian monoid of isomorphism classes of objects, and the abelian automorphism group of its identity object. There is an associated obstruction theory that explains the difference between the Drinfeld center and the center of the classifying category. For examples, we discuss bicategories of groups and bands, rings and bimodules, as well as fusion categories.

A Transactional Approach to Redundant Disk Array Implementation (CMU-CS-97-141)

description: Redundant disk arrays are a popular method of improving the dependability and performance of disk storage and an ever increasing number of array architectures are being proposed to balance cost, performance, and dependability. Despite their differences, there is a great deal of commonality between these architectures; unfortunately, it appears that current implementations are not able to effectively exploit this commonality due to their ad hoc approach to error recovery. Such techniques rely upon a case-by-case analysis of errors, a manual process that is tedious and prone to mistakes. For each distinct error scenario, a unique procedure is implemented to remove the effects of the error and complete the affected operation. Unfortunately, this form of recovery is not easily extended because the analysis must be repeated as new array operations and architectures are introduced. Transaction-processing systems utilize logging techniques to mechanize the process of recovering from errors. However, the expense of guaranteeing that all operations can be undone from any point in their execution is too expensive to satisfy the performance and resource requirements of redundant disk arrays.

This dissertation describes a novel programming abstraction and execution mechanism based upon transactions that simplifies implementation. Disk array algorithms are modeled as directed acyclic graphs: the nodes are actions such as "XOR" and the arcs represent data and control dependencies between them. Using this abstraction, we implemented eight array architectures in RAIDframe, a framework for prototyping disk arrays. Code reuse was consistently above 90%. The additional layers of abstraction did not affect the response time and throughput characteristics of RAIDframe; however, RAIDframe consumes 60% more CPU cycles than a hand-crafted non-redundant implementation. RAIDframe employs roll-away error recovery, a novel scheme for mechanizing the execution of disk array algorithms without requiring that all actions be undoable. A barrier is inserted into each algorithm: failures prior to the barrier result in rollback, relying upon undo information. Once the barrier is crossed, the algorithm rolls forward to completion, and undo records are unnecessary. Experiments revealed this approach to have identical performance to that of non-logging schemes.
