description: Bacteria are among the most common living organisms; some are beneficial to humans, while others are harmful. Serratia marcescens, an opportunistic Gram-negative bacteria, causes many deadly diseases by attacking the human body and infecting the respiratory system, urinary tract, or skin. It uses protein secretion, which is the controlled transport of selected proteins across the cell envelop to the bacterial cell’s exterior. Protein secretion is carried out by six types of antibacterial nano-weapons known as type I to type VI (T1SS to T6SS) secretion systems.

This project cover new area that has not been study before, which is building mathematical models to describe the phases of building the nano-weapon T6SS with respect to the time t and focusses on investigating a particular bacteria that have this special nano-weapon and use it to gain competitive advantage. This will allow analysis of different strategies, parameters values and rules for interaction will affect the final outcome of the populations.

Using this as a foundation, we develop our mathematical model to investigate several attacking strategies including random fire, cell-cell contact, and mixed strategy. Then, we compare them in order to determine which one is more effective from the prospective of killing a peaceful population.

Total attrition plays an important role in studying bacterial attacking strategies in a complete sense. This can be covered by immunity and recognition of the attacking species. We further expand our mathematical models to include recognition and immunity for attacking population in four cases: (i) with full recognition and total immunity, (ii) with full recognition and zero immunity, (iii) with zero recognition and total immunity, and (iv) with zero recognition and zero immunity. Then, we compared all of the mathematical models presented in this thesis to distinguish which one is the most killing effective.

description: Titanium nitride (TiN) presents superior electrical conductivity with mechanical and chemical stability and compatibility with the semiconductor fabrication process. Here, we fabricated epitaxial and polycrystalline TiN (111) thin films on MgO (111), sapphire (001), and mica substrates at 640oC and room temperature by using a DC sputtering, respectively. The epitaxial films show less amount of surface oxidation than the polycrystalline ones grown at room temperature. The epitaxial films show drastically reduced resistivity (~30 micro-ohm-cm), much smaller than the polycrystalline films. Temperature-dependent resistivity measurements show a nearly monotonic temperature slope down to low temperature. These results demonstrate that high temperature growth of TiN thin films leads to significant enhancement of electrical conductivity, promising for durable and scalable electrode applications.

description: Soaring demands of multi-stacked memory devices request urgent development of backside contact electrode technologies, such as high aspect ratio etching, metallization, and inspection methods. Especially the complex metal contact process should be monitored for each manufacturing step to filter the defective samples and to maintain the high yield of production. Among the inspection methods for detecting the electrical connections, there is voltage contrast (VC)-SEM and conducting AFM (C-AFM). In this report, we investigated the two inspection methods for testing designed samples with different contact hole states. The VC-SEM data shows the contrast variation at the contact holes, from which one may discern the contact status with an optimum voltage. The C-AFM results clearly demonstrate a finite electrical current in the connected contact, while a negligible current in the disconnected one. Finally, we discuss insights of using the two methods for analyzing the contact hole technologies with high aspect ratios.

description: Pictionary, the popular sketch-based guessing game, provides an opportunity to analyze shared goal cooperative game play in restricted communication settings. However, some players occasionally draw atypical sketch content. While such content is occasionally relevant in the game context, it sometimes represents a rule violation and impairs the game experience. To address such situations in a timely and scalable manner, we introduce DrawMon, a novel distributed framework for automatic detection of atypical sketch content in concurrently occurring Pictionary game sessions. We build specialized online interfaces to collect game session data and annotate atypical sketch content, resulting in AtyPict, the first ever atypical sketch content dataset. We use AtyPict to train CanvasNet, a deep neural atypical content detection network. We utilize CanvasNet as a core component of DrawMon. Our analysis of post deployment game session data indicates DrawMon's effectiveness for scalable monitoring and atypical sketch content detection. Beyond Pictionary, our contributions also serve as a design guide for customized atypical content response systems involving shared and interactive whiteboards.

description: In this letter, the performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is investigated in a cellular downlink scenario with randomly deployed users. The developed analytical results show that NOMA can achieve superior performance in terms of ergodic sum rates; however, the outage performance of NOMA depends critically on the choices of the users' targeted data rates and allocated power. In particular, a wrong choice of the targeted data rates and allocated power can lead to a situation in which the user's outage probability is always one, i.e. the user's targeted quality of service will never be met.

description: Clone detection is widely exploited for software vulnerability search. The approaches based on source code analysis cannot be applied to binary clone detection because the same source code can produce significantly different binaries. In this paper, we present BinSeeker, a cross-platform binary seeker that integrates semantic learning and emulation. With the help of the labeled semantic flow graph, BinSeeker can quickly identify M candidate functions that are most similar to the vulnerability from the target binary. The value of M is relatively large so this semantic learning procedure essentially eliminates those functions that are very unlikely to have the vulnerability. Then, semantic emulation is conducted on these M candidates to obtain their dynamic signature sequences. By comparing signature sequences, BinSeeker produces top-N functions that exhibit most similar behavior to that of the vulnerability. With fast filtering of semantic learning and accurate comparison of semantic emulation, BinSeeker seeks vulnerability precisely with little overhead. The experiments on six widely used programs with fifteen known CVE vulnerabilities demonstrate that BinSeeker outperforms three state-of-the-art tools Genius, Gemini and CACompare. Regarding search accuracy, BinSeeker achieves an MRR value of 0.65 in the target programs, whereas the MRR values by Genius, Gemini and CACompare are 0.17, 0.07 and 0.42, respectively. If we consider ranking a function with the targeted vulnerability in the top-5 as accurate, BinSeeker achieves the accuracy of 93.33 percent, while the accuracy of the other three tools is merely 33.33, 13.33 and 53.33 percent, respectively. Such accuracy is achieved with 0.27s on average to determine whether the target binary function contains a known vulnerability, and the time for the other three tools are 1.57s, 0.15s and 0.98s, respectively.

description: Frustrated magnets can exhibit many novel forms of order when exposed to high magnetic fields, however, much less is known about materials where frustration occurs in the presence of itinerant electrons. Here we report thermodynamic and transport measurements on micron-sized single crystals of the triangular-lattice metallic antiferromagnet 2H-AgNiO2, in magnetic fields of up to 90 T and temperatures down to 0.35 K. We observe a cascade of magnetic phase transitions at 13.5 20, 28 and 39T in fields applied along the easy axis, and we combine magnetic torque, specific heat and transport data to construct the field-temperature phase diagram. The results are discussed in the context of a frustrated easy-axis Heisenberg model for the localized moments where intermediate applied magnetic fields are predicted to stabilize a magnetic supersolid phase. Deviations in the measured phase diagram from this model predictions are attributed to the role played by the itinerant electrons.

description: The sample quality of the hyperhoneycomb lattice Kitaev magnet $β$-ZnIrO$_3$ was successfully improved by removing the maximum amount of moisture from the reaction ampoule. The X-ray diffraction structural analysis of the high-quality sample confirmed the presence of $P$2$_1$/$c$ superlattice peaks of the Fddd structure in the original structural model. These peaks could not be distinguished due to the presence of impurities in the low-quality sample in a previous study. The structural analysis based on this monoclinic crystal structure model showed no chemical disorder, suggesting that the observed spin liquid type behavior is an intrinsic property unrelated to bond randomness. The details of the $β$-ZnIrO$_3$ structure revealed in this study will stimulate the further investigation of Kitaev physics.

description: The output from an eddy-resolved multi-layered circulation model is used to analyze the vertical structure of simulated deep-sea eddies in the Japan Basin of the Japan/East Sea constrained by bottom topography. We focus on Lagrangian analysis of anticyclonic eddies, generated in the model in a typical year approximately at the place of the mooring and the hydrographic sections, where such eddies have been regularly observed in different years (1993--1997, 1999--2001). Using a quasi-3D computation of the finite-time Lyapunov exponents and displacements for a large number of synthetic tracers in each depth layer, we demonstrate how the simulated feature evolves of the eddy, that does not reach the surface in summer, into a one reaching the surface in fall. This finding is confirmed by computing deformation of the model layers across the simulated eddy in zonal and meridional directions and in the corresponding temperature cross sections. Computed Lagrangian tracking maps allow to trace the origin and fate of water masses in different layers of the eddy. The results of simulation are compared with observed temperature zonal and meridional cross sections of a real anticyclonic eddy to be studied at that place during the oceanographic Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) hydrochemical survey in summer 1999. Both the simulated and observed eddies are shown to have the similar eddy core and the relief of layer interfaces and isotherms.

description: Recent works based on convolutional encoder-decoder architecture and 3DMM parameterization have shown great potential for canonical view reconstruction from a single input image. Conventional CNN architectures benefit from exploiting the spatial correspondence between the input and output pixels. However, in 3D face reconstruction, the spatial misalignment between the input image (e.g. face) and the canonical/UV output makes the feature encoding-decoding process quite challenging. In this paper, to tackle this problem, we propose a new network architecture, namely the Affine Convolution Networks, which enables CNN based approaches to handle spatially non-corresponding input and output images and maintain high-fidelity quality output at the same time. In our method, an affine transformation matrix is learned from the affine convolution layer for each spatial location of the feature maps. In addition, we represent 3D human heads in UV space with multiple components, including diffuse maps for texture representation, position maps for geometry representation, and light maps for recovering more complex lighting conditions in the real world. All the components can be trained without any manual annotations. Our method is parametric-free and can generate high-quality UV maps at resolution of 512 x 512 pixels, while previous approaches normally generate 256 x 256 pixels or smaller. Our code will be released once the paper got accepted.

description: Ibn al-‘Arabi (d. 1240), often called the “Greatest Shaykh,” is the most discussed and debated Sufi master of the late medieval Islamic world. Although many scholars have produced works on his life, ideas, and contemporary reception, few have undertaken the task of tracing the consequences of his work for sovereignty well after the shaykh’s death. This paper argues that Ibn al-‘Arabi’s concepts of the “Oneness of Being,” the “Perfect Man,” and his distinct use of tahqiq (verification, realization) worked in tandem as a subset of ideas beneficial to leaders for establishing absolutist sovereignty in the Mughal and Safavid Empires. This study compares the ideas found in Ibn al-‘Arabi’s works, primarily the Fusus al-Hikam and ‘Anqa’ Mughrib, to the aforementioned, early-modern Islamic governments in order to demonstrate where the shaykh’s philosophy aligns with the crafted personas of charismatic leaders. For secondary sources, this paper references themes found in Kathryn Babayan’s Mystics, Monarchs, and Messiahs and Azfar Moin’s Millennial Sovereign. Furthermore, the paper is indebted to scholars of Ibn al-‘Arabi such as Henry Corbin and William Chittick. As interest in global studies and the early-modern period continues to grow, the integration, wittingly or otherwise, of Akbarian philosophy into the ethos of sovereignty will continue to be a vibrant area of research. The thought of Ibn al-‘Arabi and his intellectual descendants strongly influenced the absolutist sovereignty of the Mughal and Safavid Empires, the legacy of which reverberates to this day in the cultural memory of the Middle East and South Asia.

description: Our study estimates consumer’s willingness to pay for the public services on food safety management and regulation conducted by the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service (NAQS) of Korea. The WTPs for the three main programs, food safety inspection and regulation, country of origin labelling management, and certification of environment-friendly agro-fishery products and good agricultural practices (GAP), are estimated based on the choice experiments designed to incorporate observed real market data. It is shown that the WTP for each program far exceeds its management cost. Food safety inspection and regulation and country of origin labelling management showed WTP estimates much larger than the certification program. Moreover, it is found that raising the market share of GAP through the certification system may enhance consumer welfare because the estimated consumer preference for GAP was very high compared to the current market share of GAP.

description: In this paper, we investigate which classes of monomial ideals have a quasi-additive property of homological shift ideals. More precisely, for a monomial ideal $I$ we are interested to find out whether $HS_{i+j}(I)\subseteq HS_i(HS_j(I))$. It turns out that $\mathbf{c}$-bounded principal Borel ideals as well as polymatroidal ideals satisfying strong exchange property, and polymatroidal ideals generated in degree two have this quasi-additive property. For squarefree Borel ideals, we even have equality. Besides, the inclusion holds for every equigenerated Borel ideal and polymatroidal ideal when $j=1$.

Thermomorphogenesis

description: Plant as a sessile organism interacts to environmental cues to respond to various conditions such as light and temperature. Especially, due to the importance of drastic climate change termed “global warming”, elevated or high ambient temperature response termed “thermomorphogenesis” has been explored for decades. Typical thermomorphogensis includes hypocotyl/petiole elongation, hyponasty growth, reduced stomata development and early flowering. It has been considered that PHYTOCHROME B (phyB)-PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4) core mechanism is the key to respond to high ambient temperature. Originally, phy B and PIFs were identified in red-light signaling pathway, which suggests that light and temperature responses are largely overlapped. In high ambient temperature, phyB as a thermo-sensor is inactivated and translocated into cytosol, and PIF4 as a main-hub is stabilized. Stabilized PIF4 could bind to its target promoter region such as growth genes abundantly, resulting in hypocotyl/petiole elongation at thermomorphogenesis. However, detailed mechanisms how PIF4 is stabilized and what other components are regulating thermomorphogenesis are still elusive. Here in my dissertation, I show that SUPPRESSOR of PHYTOCHROME A (SPA) is essential for thermomorphogenesis via direct PIF4 phosphorylation for stabilization. In the absence of SPA, PIF4 were not stabilized and phyB were not degraded at high ambient temperature. Surprisingly, kinase activity of SPA was crucial for PIF4 stabilization at high ambient temperature. Furthermore, due to the homeostasis, PIFs inhibitors were highly expressed in thermomorphogenesis. In this sense, I showed that one of PIFs inhibitor family, HECATEs (HECs), is involved in fine-tuning of phyB-PIF4 regulated thermomorphogenesis. PIF4-HEC forms an autoregulatory composite negative feedback loop that controls growth genes to modulate thermomorphogenesis. In addition, other PIFs contribute to thermomorphogenesis by stabilizing PIFs and degrade phyB indicating the shared role of PIFs at high ambient temperature. Finally, I found that LONG HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) is a main hub in root thermomorphogenesis, suggesting the spatial regulation of thermomorphogenesis; PIF4 in shoot and HY5 in root. SPA could also phosphorylate HY5, which regulates HY5 activity for root thermomorphogenesis. Surprisingly, HY5 and PIF4 share roles in hypocotyl thickening. Overall, these finding will expand insights understanding seedling architecture in thermomorphogenesis.

description: In this study the authors will look at the detection and segmentation of the iris and its influence on the overall performance of the iris-biometric tool chain. The authors will examine whether the segmentation accuracy, based on conformance with a ground truth, can serve as a predictor for the overall performance of the iris-biometric tool chain. That is: If the segmentation accuracy is improved will this always improve the overall performance? Furthermore, the authors will systematically evaluate the influence of segmentation parameters, pupillary and limbic boundary and normalisation centre (based on Daugman's rubbersheet model), on the rest of the iris-biometric tool chain. The authors will investigate if accurately finding these parameters is important and how consistency, that is, extracting the same exact region of the iris during segmenting, influences the overall performance.

Evolution of Leibniz's thought in the matter of fictions and infinitesimals

description: In this paper we offer a reconstruction of the evolution of Leibniz's thought concerning the problem of the infinite divisibility of bodies, the tension between actuality, unassignability and syncategorematicity, and the closely related question of the possibility of infinitesimal quantities, both in physics and in mathematics. Some scholars have argued that syncategorematicity is a mature acquisition, to which Leibniz resorts to solve the question of his infinitesimals namely the idea that infinitesimals are just signs for Archimedean exhaustions, and their unassignability is a nominalist maneuver. On the contrary, we show that sycategorematicity, as a traditional idea of classical scholasticism, is a feature of young Leibniz's thinking, from which he moves away in order to solve the same problem, as he gains mathematical knowledge. We have divided Leibniz's path toward his mature view of infinitesimals into five phases, which are especially significant for reconstructing the entire evolution. In our reconstruction, an important role is played by Leibniz's text De Quadratura Arithmetica. Based on this and other texts we dispute the thesis that fictionality coincides with syncategorematicity, and that unassignability can be bypassed. On the contrary, we maintain that unassignability, as incompatible with the principle of harmony, is the ultimate reason for the fictionality of infinitesimals.

description: The interplay between ferromagnetism and the non-trivial topology has unveiled intriguing phases in the transport of charges and spins. For example, it is consistently observed the so-called topological Hall effect (THE) featuring a hump structure in the curve of the Hall resistance (Rxy) vs. a magnetic field (H) of a heterostructure consisting of a ferromagnet (FM) and a topological insulator (TI). The origin of the hump structure is still controversial between the topological Hall effect model and the multi-component anomalous Hall effect (AHE) model. In this work, we have investigated a heterostructure consisting of BixSb2-xTeySe3-y (BSTS) and Cr2Te3 (CT), which are well-known TI and two-dimensional FM, respectively. By using the so-called minor-loop measurement, we have found that the hump structure observed in the CT/BSTS is more likely to originate from two AHE channels. Moreover, by analyzing the scaling behavior of each amplitude of two AHE with the longitudinal resistivities of CT and BSTS, we have found that one AHE is attributed to the extrinsic contribution of CT while the other is due to the intrinsic contribution of BSTS. It implies that the proximity-induced ferromagnetic layer inside BSTS serves as a source of the intrinsic AHE, resulting in the hump structure explained by the two AHE model.

description: Exact expression for the Foldy-Wouthuysen Hamiltonian of scalar particles is used for a quantum-mechanical description of the relativistic Lense-Thirring effect. The exact evolution of the angular momentum operator in the Kerr field approximated by a spatially isotropic metric is found. The quantum-mechanical description of the full Lense-Thirring effect based on the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector is given in the nonrelativistic and weak-field approximation. Relativistic quantum-mechanical equations for the velocity and acceleration operators are obtained. The equation for the acceleration defines the Coriolis-like and centrifugal-like accelerations and presents the quantum-mechanical description of the frame-dragging effect.

description: Modeling of software architectures is a fundamental part of software development processes. Reuse of software components and early analysis of software topologies allow the reduction of development costs and increases software quality. Integrating variability modeling concepts into architecture description languages (ADLs) is essential for the development of diverse software systems with high demands on software quality. In this paper, we present the integration of delta modeling into the existing ADL MontiArc. Delta modeling is a language-independent variability modeling approach supporting proactive, reactive and extractive product line development. We show how ?-MontiArc, a language for explicit modeling of architectural variability based on delta modeling, is implemented as domain-specific language (DSL) using the DSL development framework MontiCore. We also demonstrate how MontiCore's language reuse mechanisms provide efficient means to derive an implementation of ?-MontiArc tool implementation. We evaluate ?-Monti-Arc by comparing it with annotative variability modeling.
