MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF HIGHWAY EMISSIONS DISPERSION DUE TO NOISE BARRIER SHAPE EFFECTS AND TRAFFIC FLOW UNDER DIFFERENT INFLOW CONDITIONS
Creators: name: Wang, Shaoguang
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed to simulate the distribution of automobile emissions on and near a highway. A variety of k-ε turbulence models were adopted to simulate the turbulence flow, and a non-reaction species model was coupled to simulate the dispersion of emissions. The models were first validated by comparing velocity profiles and normalized emission concentration with wind tunnel experiments, and good agreement was observed. Next, further simulation and analysis revealed that T-shaped noise barriers could reduce more emissions concentration in downstream areas than rectangular noise barriers; however, the noise barrier shape effects on the dispersion of emissions were also influenced by inflow conditions. Thirdly, the traffic flow conditions on the highway made a difference to the dispersion of emissions. Automobile wakes not only existed behind vehicles but also induced turbulence on adjacent lanes, causing more emissions on the highway. Low traffic speed, such as congestion, would result in more emissions remaining on the highway as well. At last, vehicle body shapes modified the flow patterns by their slant angles and heights. Vehicles with slant angles on both front and rear sides had the least concentration of emissions at the center of the highway.

description: Biological dynamics have been studied by many methods. Fluorescence dynamic microscopy and optical coherence tomography provided fundamental understandings of biological systems. However, their high NA optics only represent local characteristics. Biodynamic imaging (BDI) technique implements a low NA optics and acquires the statistical average of Doppler shifts that occurred by dynamic light scattering with biological dynamic subsystems provided globally averaged dynamic characteristics. BDI is used for this study to investigate biomedical applications. The chemotherapy efficacy measurement by BDI demonstrated a good agreement between the Doppler spectral phenotypes and the preclinical outcomes. Also, dynamic responses of microbiomes by chemical stimuli demonstrated featured Doppler characteristics. The bacterial infection of epithelial spheroids showed consistent spectral responses and antibiotic-resistant E. coli infection treatment with a sensitive and resistive antibiotic showed a dramatic contrast. Furthermore, the phase-sensitive characteristics of BDI provided a clue to understanding the characteristics of the random process of biological systems. Levy-like heavy-tailed probability density functions are demonstrated and the shape changed by infection will be discussed.

description:
In many complex domains, the input data are often not suited for the typical vector representations used in deep learning models. For example, in knowledge representation, relational learning, and some computer vision tasks, the data are often better represented as graphs or sets. In these cases, a key challenge is to learn a representation function which is invariant to permutations of set or isomorphism of graphs. In order to handle graph isomorphism, this thesis proposes a subgraph pattern neural network with invariance to graph isomorphisms and varying local neighborhood sizes. Our key insight is to incorporate the unavoidable dependencies in the training observations of induced subgraphs into both the input features and the model architecture itself via high-order dependencies, which are still able to take node/edge labels into account and facilitate inductive reasoning. In order to learn permutation-invariant set functions, this thesis shows how the characteristics of an architecture’s computational graph impact its ability to learn in contexts with complex set dependencies, and demonstrate limitations of current methods with respect to one or more of these complexity dimensions. I also propose a new Self-Attention GRU architecture, with a computation graph that is built automatically via self-attention to minimize average interaction path lengths between set elements in the architecture’s computation graph, in order to effectively capture complex dependencies between set elements.Besides the typical set problem, a new problem of representing sets-of-sets (SoS) is proposed. In this problem, multi-level dependence and multi-level permutation invariance need to be handled jointly. To address this, I propose a hierarchical sequence attention framework (HATS) for inductive set-of-sets embeddings, and develop the stochastic optimization and inference methods required for efficient learning.

Drug Screening Utilizing the Visual Motor Response of a Zebrafish Model of Retinitis Pigmentosa

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

description: Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is an incurable inherited retinal degeneration affecting approximately 1 in 4,000 individuals globally. The aim of this dissertation was to identify drugs that can help patients suffering from the disease. To accomplish this goal, the zebrafish was utilized as a model for RP to perform in vivo drug screening. The zebrafish RP model expresses a human rhodopsin transgene which contains a premature stop codon at position 344 (Tg(rho:Hsa.RH1_Q344X)). This zebrafish model exhibits significant rod photoreceptor degeneration beginning at 7 days post fertilization (dpf). To assess the visual consequence of this rod degeneration the zebrafish behavior visual motor response (VMR) was assayed under scotopic conditions. The Q344X RP model larvae displayed a deficit in this VMR in response to a scotopic light offset. This deficit in behavior was utilized to perform a drug screen to identify compounds that could ameliorate the deficient Q344X VMR. The ENZO SCREEN-WELL® REDOX library was chosen to be screened since oxidative stress may increase RP progression in a non-specific manner. From this library, a β-blocker, carvedilol, was identified as a compound that improved the Q344X VMR behavior. This drug was also able to increase rod number in the Q344X retina. Carvedilol was shown to be capable of working directly on rods by demonstrating that the drug can signal through the adrenergic pathway in the rod-like human Y79 cell line. Since carvedilol is an FDA-approved drug, this screening paradigm was utilized to screen the Selleckchem FDA-approved library to identify more drugs that can potentially be repurposed to treat RP like carvedilol. Additionally, this scotopic VMR assay was used to demonstrate that it can identify behavioral deficits in the P23H RP model zebrafish (Tg(rho:Hsa.RH1_P23H)). This dissertation work provides a potential FDA-approved drug for RP treatment and sets the foundation for future drug screening to identify more drugs to treat different forms of RP.

description: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in American men. In this study, I identify two combinational therapeutics to treat PCa – the combination of enzalutamide and simvastatin, and the combination of GSK126 and metformin, both of which strongly suppress PCa cell growth in vitro and in vivo via inhibiting androgen receptor (AR), an important oncogenic driver for the PCa progression. Simvastatin leads to more AR degradation when combined with enzalutamide. For the combination of GSK126 and metformin, the interaction between enhance of zeste homolog2 (EZH2) and AR is interrupted by GSK126, re-sensitizing EZH2 to metformin. Meanwhile, GSK126 inhibits EZH2’s activity.
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), a cell cycle regulator, is usually overexpressed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report that PLK1 overexpression promotes the development of KrasG12D and Trp53fl/fl (KP)-driven lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). KP mice harboring transgenic PLK1 (KPPI) display heavier tumor burden, poorer tumor differentiation, and lower survival than KP mice. Mechanistically, PLK1 overexpression enhances the activity of MAPK pathway, via upregulating RET expression in a kinase-dependent manner. Supporting our findings, PLK1 knockout in KP mice reduces RET gene expression, inhibits MAPK pathway activity, and strongly delays LADC development. Therefore, these data reveal that PLK1 functions as an oncogene in KP-driven LADC.

description: Over the years, the performance demand for graphics applications has been steadily increasing. While upgrading the hardware is one direct solution, the emergence of the new low-level and low-overhead graphics APIs like Vulkan also exposed the possibility of improving rendering performance from the bottom of software implementation.
Most of the recent years’ middle- to high-end personal computers are equipped with both integrated and discrete GPUs. However, with previous graphics APIs, it is hard to put these two heterogeneous GPUs to work concurrently in the same application without tailored driver support.
This thesis provides an exploration into the utilization of such heterogeneous GPUs in real-time rendering with the help of Vulkan API. This paper first demonstrates the design and implementation details for the proposed heterogeneous GPUs working model. After that, the paper presents the test of two workload offloading strategies: offloading screen space output workload to the integrated GPU and offloading asynchronous computation workload to the integrated GPU.
While this study failed to obtain performance improvement through offloading screen space output workload, it is successful in validating that offloading asynchronous computation workload from the discrete GPU to the integrated GPU can improve the overall system performance. This study proves that it is possible to make use of the integrated and discrete GPUs concurrently in the same application with the help of Vulkan. And offloading asynchronous computation workload from the discrete GPU to the integrated GPU can provide up to 3-4% performance improvement with combinations like UHD Graphics 630 + RTX 2070 Max-Q and HD Graphics 630 + GTX 1050.

description: This project examines the events from 1866 to 1871 in Korea between the United States and Joseon, with a specific focus on the 1866 General Sherman Incident and the United States Expedition to Korea in 1871. The project also examines the present memory of those events in the United States and North and South Korea. This project shows that contemporary American reactions to the events in Korea from 1866 to 1871 were numerous and ambivalent in what the American role should be in Korea. In the present, American memory of 1866 to 1871 has largely been monopolized by the American military, with the greater American collective memory largely forgetting this period. In the Koreas, collective memory of the five-year crisis (1866 to 1871) is divided along ideological lines. In North Korea, the victories that Korea achieved against the United States are used as stories to reinforce the North Korean line on the United States, as well as reinforcing the legitimacy of the Kim family. In South Korea, the narrative focuses on the corruption of Joseon and the Daewongun and the triumph of a “modernizing” Korean state against anti-western hardliners, and is more diverse in how the narrative is told, ranging from newspapers to K-Dramas, leading to a more complicated collective memory in the South. This Thesis shows that understanding the impact that the first state-to-state encounters had on the American-Korean relationship not only at the time but also in the present, is key to analyzing the complicated history of the Korean-American relationship writ large.

description: Advancements in virtual reality (VR) technologies have led to overwhelming critique and acclaim in recent years. Academic researchers have already begun to take advantage of these immersive technologies across all manner of settings. Using immersive technologies, educators are able to more easily interpret complex information with students and colleagues. Despite the advantages these technologies bring, some drawbacks still remain. One particular drawback is the difficulty of engaging in immersive environments with others in a shared physical space (i.e., with a shared virtual environment). A common strategy for improving collaborative data exploration has been to use technological substitutions to make distant users feel they are collaborating in the same space. This research, however, is focused on how virtual reality can be used to build upon real-world interactions which take place in the same physical space (i.e., collaborative, co-located, multi-user virtual reality).
In this study we address two primary dimensions of collaborative data visualization and analysis as follows: [1] we detail the implementation of a novel co-located VR hardware and software system, [2] we conduct a formal user experience study of the novel system using the NASA Task Load Index (Hart, 1986) and introduce the Modified User Experience Inventory, a new user study inventory based upon the Unified User Experience Inventory, (Tcha-Tokey, Christmann, Loup-Escande, Richir, 2016) to empirically observe the dependent measures of Workload, Presence, Engagement, Consequence, and Immersion. A total of 77 participants volunteered to join a demonstration of this technology at Purdue University. In groups ranging from two to four, participants shared a co-located virtual environment built to visualize point cloud measurements of exploded supernovae. This study is not experimental but observational. We found there to be moderately high levels of user experience and moderate levels of workload demand in our results. We describe the implementation of the software platform and present user reactions to the technology that was created. These are described in detail within this manuscript.

Creators: name: Legett, Henry D
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020

Behavioural ecology

description: In dense mating aggregations, such as insect and anuran choruses, signals produced at the same time can overlap and interfere with one another, reducing the ability of receivers to discriminate between individual signals. Thus, evolution by sexual selection is expected to result in mating signal timing strategies that avoid overlap. Patterns of signal alternation between competing males are commonly observed in leks and choruses across taxa. In some species, however, signalers instead deliberately overlap, or ‘synchronize’, their mating signals with neighboring conspecifics. Given the assumed high cost of reduced mate attraction when signals overlap, mating signal synchronization has remained an evolutionary puzzle. Synchronization may be beneficial, however, if overlapping signals reduce the attraction of nontarget receivers (predator avoidance hypothesis). Synchronized signals could also constructively interfere, increasing female attraction to the mating aggregation (the beacon effect hypothesis). I investigate these functions of synchronized signaling in two species of tree frogs that synchronize their mating calls: the pug-nosed tree frog (Smilisca sila) and the Ryukyu Kajika frog (Buergeria japonica). To examine the trade-offs imposed by call synchronization in each species, I conduct a series of field and laboratory playback experiments on target (female frogs) and nontarget (eavesdropping predators) receivers of frog calls. Results from these experiments support both hypotheses, suggesting that synchronized frog calls can reduce the attraction of predators and attract mates to the chorus. In addition, I found reduced preferences for fine-scale call timings in female S. sila and B. japonica, deviating from the expected preferences observed in many other anuran and non-anuran species. Thus, while males may enjoy multiple benefits from synchronized mating signals, relaxed sexual selection for non-synchronous signals may be key to the evolution and maintenance of mating signal synchrony.

description: This chapter surveys music constraint programming systems, and how composers have used them. The chapter motivates and explains how users of such systems describe intended musical results with constraints. This approach to algorithmic composition is similar to the way declarative and modular compositional rules have successfully been used in music theory for centuries as a device to describe composition techniques. In a systematic overview, this survey highlights the respective strengths of different approaches and systems from a composer's point of view, complementing other more technical surveys of this field. This text describes the music constraint systems PMC, Score-PMC, PWMC (and its successor Cluster Engine), Strasheela and Orchidée -- most are libraries of the composition systems PWGL or OpenMusic. These systems are shown in action by discussing the composition process of specific works by Jacopo Baboni-Schilingi, Magnus Lindberg, Örjan Sandred, Torsten Anders, Johannes Kretz and Jonathan Harvey.

description: Photovoltaics (PV) are a renewable energy technology experiencing rapidly increasing commercial adoption today. Nonetheless, many proposed PV applications still require higher efficiencies, lower costs and comparable reliability to currently available in commercial devices (typically made from silicon). To enable the rigorous study of a much wider range of materials and novel design concepts, particularly those based on compound thin films, Concentrated Photovoltaics (CPV), cells with bifaciality, a comprehensive modeling framework is developed to couple photon absorption, carrier transport, photon recycling, and thermal transport in PV devices. The universality of this framework manifest itself in approaching various PV related problems as follows: 1) exploring the novel design of wide-Eg GaInP solar cells as an intermediate step to enhance the efficiency of multijunction PV devices; 2) characterizing the open-circuit voltage (VOC) degradation in thin-film vapor liquid solid (TF-VLS) grown InP solar cell through combined device and circuit model for interpreting photoluminescence (PL) image; 3) establishing optic-electric-thermal coupled framework to assess and compare the passive cooling effect for Silicon CPV devices that employ porous soda-lime glass radiative cooler and conventional copper cooler respectively; 4) Investigating and formulating the analytic solution of the optimal design that minimizes combined optical shadowing loss and electrical resistive loss for two types of bifacial PV devices: a) interdigitated back contact (IBC) Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells and b) Copper Indium Gallium DiSelenide (CIGSe) solar cell with Al2O3 passivation; and 5) Constructing an Neural Network Autoen- coder (NNA) that compresses and reconstructs the J-V characteristics obtained from TCAD simulation and literature for rapid screening and automated classification.
ROLES OF PERSEVERANCE AND MEANING-FOCUSED COPING IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACCULTURATIVE STRESS AND SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING FOR EAST ASIAN INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: A growing body of research has indicated the challenges and difficulties international students face including but not limited to language barriers, academic struggles, social isolation, discrimination, and psychological distress. Among international students, East Asian international students represent a large subgroup and report higher acculturative stress and struggles due to their deep and complex cultural and language differences from the U.S. culture, compared to students from other areas. Using Tweed and Conway’s (2006) framework, the current research examined a model to understand the roles of culturally relevant coping strategies (e.g., perseverance, meaning-focused coping) and acculturative stress in explaining well-being (e.g., life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, and peace of mind) among 200 East Asian international students. The results indicated that acculturative stress was a strong predictor of all well-being variables, perseverance was a predictor of well-being except for negative affect, and meaning-focused coping was a predictor of life satisfaction and positive affect. Tests of indirect effects revealed that perseverance partially mediates the relationship between acculturative stress and positive affect and peace of mind. The results also suggested that meaning-focused coping does not mediate the relationships between acculturative stress and well-being variables. The discussion addresses limitations of the study, suggestions for future research, and implications for literature and counseling psychology practice for East Asian international students.

description: The dimensional-deconstruction prescription of Arkani-Hamed, Cohen, Kaplan, Karch and Motl provides a mechanism for recovering the $A$-type (2,0) theories on $T^2$, starting from a four-dimensional $\mathcal N=2$ circular-quiver theory. We put this conjecture to the test using two exact-counting arguments: In the decompactification limit, we compare the Higgs-branch Hilbert series of the 4D $\mathcal N=2$ quiver to the 'half-BPS' limit of the (2,0) superconformal index. We also compare the full partition function for the 4D quiver on $S^4$ to the (2,0) partition function on $S^4 \times T^2$. In both cases we find exact agreement. The partition function calculation sets up a dictionary between exact results in 4D and 6D.

OCTREE 3D VISUALIZATION MAPPING BASED ON CAMERA INFORMATION

description: Today, computer science and robotics have been highly developed. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is widely used in mobile robot navigation, game design, and autonomous vehicles. It can be said that in the future, most scenarios where mobile robots are applied will require localization and mapping. Among them, the construction of three-dimensional(3D) maps is particularly important for environment visualization which is the focus of this research. In this project, the data used for visualization was collected using a vision sensor. The data collected by the vision sensor is processed by ORB-SLAM2 to generate the 3D cloud point maps of the environment. Because, there are a lot of noise in the map points cloud, filters are used to remove the noise. The generated map points are processed by the straight-through filter to cut off the points out of the specific range. Statistical filters are then used to remove sparse outlier noise. Thereafter, in order to improve the calculation efficiency and retain the necessary terrain details, a voxel filter is used for downsampling. In order to improve the composition effect, it is necessary to appropriately increase the sampling amount to increase surface smoothness. Finally, the processed map points are visualized using Octomap. The implementation utilizes the services provided by the Robot Operating System (ROS). The powerful Rviz software on the ROS platform is used. The processed map points as cloud data are published in ROS and visualized using Octomap. Simulation results confirm that Octomap can show the terrain details well in the 3D visualization of the environment. After the simulations, visualization experiments for two environments of different complexity are performed. The experimental results show that the approach can mitigate the influence of noise on the visualization results to a certain extent. It is shown that for static high-precision point clouds, Octomap provides a good visualization. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the applicably of the approach to visualize 3D map points for the purpose of autonomous navigation.

description: Beyond the Standard Model (SM) extensions usually include extended Higgs sectors. Models with singlet or doublet fields are the simplest ones that are compatible with the $\rho$ parameter constraint. The discovery of new non-SM Higgs bosons and the identification of the underlying model requires dedicated Higgs properties analyses. In this paper, we compare several Higgs sectors featuring 3 CP-even neutral Higgs bosons that are also motivated by their simplicity and their capability to solve some of the flaws of the SM. They are: the SM extended by a complex singlet field (CxSM), the singlet extension of the 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (N2HDM), and the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric SM extension (NMSSM). In addition, we analyse the CP-violating 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (C2HDM), which provides 3 neutral Higgs bosons with a pseudoscalar admixture. This allows us to compare the effects of singlet and pseudoscalar admixtures. Through dedicated scans of the allowed parameter space of the models, we analyse the phenomenologically viable scenarios from the view point of the SM-like Higgs boson and of the signal rates of the non-SM-like Higgs bosons to be found. In particular, we analyse the effect of singlet/pseudoscalar admixture, and the potential to differentiate these models in the near future. This is supported by a study of couplings sums of the Higgs bosons to massive gauge bosons and to fermions, where we identify features that allow us to distinguish the models, in particular when only part of the Higgs spectrum is discovered. Our results can be taken as guidelines for future LHC data analyses, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments, to identify specific benchmark points aimed at revealing the underlying model.
