description: Video-based person re-identification (re-ID) refers to matching people across camera views from arbitrary unaligned video footages. Existing methods rely on supervision signals to optimise a projected space under which the distances between inter/intra-videos are maximised/minimised. However, this demands exhaustively labelling people across camera views, rendering them unable to be scaled in large networked cameras. Also, it is noticed that learning effective video representations with view invariance is not explicitly addressed for which features exhibit different distributions otherwise. Thus, matching videos for person re-ID demands flexible models to capture the dynamics in time-series observations and learn view-invariant representations with access to limited labeled training samples. In this paper, we propose a novel few-shot deep learning approach to video-based person re-ID, to learn comparable representations that are discriminative and view-invariant. The proposed method is developed on the variational recurrent neural networks (VRNNs) and trained adversarially to produce latent variables with temporal dependencies that are highly discriminative yet view-invariant in matching persons. Through extensive experiments conducted on three benchmark datasets, we empirically show the capability of our method in creating view-invariant temporal features and state-of-the-art performance achieved by our method.

description: There is a growing group of adolescents and young adults in the United States who identify as multiracial. An emerging literature has begun to research multiracial identification and health and behavioral outcomes for multiracial populations in comparison to their single-race counterparts. Understanding the intersectional influences on this identification process is critical to updating the literature on racial and ethnic identity and health with more accurate identifications and categories. This dissertation consists of three chapters, each of which investigates the topic of multiracial identification more closely. The first chapter reviews and synthesizes the research examining influences on multiracial identification and health outcomes and creates an empirically testable conceptual framework that guides the work of this dissertation. The second chapter uses a nationally representative sample to explore parent and child racial and ethnic identification as well as psychosocial outcomes and peer treatment among multiracial adolescents. Finally, the third chapter applies learnings from the first two chapters and uses a nationally representative public health dataset to update the empirical data on risk engagement for multiracial and single-race adolescents and young adults. Findings from these papers demonstrate that when compared to single-race peers, multiracial adolescents and young adults are not at increased risk for depressive symptoms, being involved with risky peer groups, or engaging in risk behaviors such as tobacco use, or alcohol use. This dissertation emphasizes the importance of integrating public health research with historical and demographic context. It also argues for approaching data analysis with theory and conceptual reasoning so as to most accurately update public health research using categories that more closely correlate with how individuals self-identify.

description: A Lagrangian method for the numerical simulation of the Kraichnan passive scalar model is introduced. The method is based on Monte--Carlo simulations of tracer trajectories, supplemented by a point-splitting procedure for coinciding points. Clean scaling behavior for scalar structure functions is observed. The scheme is exploited to investigate the dependence of scalar anomalies on the scaling exponent $ξ$ of the advecting velocity field. The three-dimensional fourth-order structure function is specifically considered.

description: The layered van der Waals antiferromagnet MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ has been predicted to combine the band ordering of archetypical topological insulators such as Bi$_2$Te$_3$ with the magnetism of Mn, making this material a viable candidate for the realization of various magnetic topological states. We have systematically investigated the surface electronic structure of MnBi$_2$Te$_4$(0001) single crystals by use of spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy experiments. In line with theoretical predictions, the results reveal a surface state in the bulk band gap and they provide evidence for the influence of exchange interaction and spin-orbit coupling on the surface electronic structure.

description: To comply with legal regulations becomes a more and more challenging task for companies of all industry sectors. In particular business processes have to comply with legal requirements. Its checking and control lead to tedious tasks for compliance managers. In order to reduce the compliance management effort special checking approaches have been developed that enable an automatic check of processes regarding their compliance with laws and regulations. Until now, these approaches appear in research but lack in practical evaluation. To close this gap an evaluation method based on the technology acceptance model and focus group sessions as well as its application is presented in this paper.

Re-thinking the role of ribosomal proteins in the Mdm2-p53 axis
Creators: Daftuar, Lilyn
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Molecular biology

description: The Mdm2-p53 axis is an important pathway in cells that is frequently misregulated in cancer. Under basal conditions, Mdm2 suppresses p53 through multiple mechanisms. However, when stress is encountered, this suppression is lifted and p53 transactivates the expression of many target genes to effect outcomes such as cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. One type of stress that can activate p53 is ribosomal stress, also called nucleolar stress. Ribosomal stress occurs when mishaps occur in ribosomal biogenesis, and various ribosomal proteins (RPs) have been shown to signal to Mdm2 and activate p53. This thesis presents two studies in the regulation of the Mdm2-p53 axis by ribosomal proteins. In the first study, three ribosomal proteins are newly linked to the Mdm2-p53 axis. RPL37, RPS15, and RPS20 are shown to bind to Mdm2, inhibit its E3 ubiquitin ligase activity towards itself and p53, upregulate various p53, and cause both G2 arrest and apoptosis. Additionally, they downregulate levels of MdmX, a homolog of Mdm2 that also suppresses p53 activity. In the second study, a novel extra-ribosomal function has been identified for RPL36A. Unlike other ribosomal proteins that interact with and activate the Mdm2-p53 axis, RPL36A represses it. RPL36A enhances the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of Mdm2, downregulates p53 levels, and inhibits the response to ribosomal stress.

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used to improve the accuracy of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification. However, in most studies, the difference between PolSAR images and optical images is rarely considered. Most of the existing CNNs are not tailored for the task of PolSAR image classification, in which complex-valued PolSAR data have been simply equated to real-valued data to fit the optical image processing architectures and avoid complex-valued operations. This is one of the reasons CNNs unable to perform their full capabilities in PolSAR classification. To solve the above problem, the objective of this paper is to develop a tailored CNN framework for PolSAR image classification, which can be implemented from two aspects: Seeking a better form of PolSAR data as the input of CNNs and building matched CNN architectures based on the proposed input form. In this paper, considering the properties of complex-valued numbers, amplitude and phase of complex-valued PolSAR data are extracted as the input for the first time to maintain the integrity of original information while avoiding immature complex-valued operations. Then, a multi-task CNN (MCNN) architecture is proposed to match the improved input form and achieve better classification results. Furthermore, depthwise separable convolution is introduced to the proposed architecture in order to better extract information from the phase information. Experiments on three PolSAR benchmark datasets not only prove that using amplitude and phase as the input do contribute to the improvement of PolSAR classification, but also verify the adaptability between the improved input form and the well-designed architectures.

description: We consider the problem of regulating by means of external control inputs the ratio of two cell populations. Specifically, we assume that these two cellular populations are composed of cells belonging to the same strain which embeds some bistable memory mechanism, e.g. a genetic toggle switch, allowing them to switch role from one population to another in response to some inputs. We present three control strategies to regulate the populations' ratio to arbitrary desired values which take also into account realistic physical and technological constraints occurring in experimental microfluidic platforms. The designed controllers are then validated in-silico using stochastic agent-based simulations.

description: We present microscopic transport calculations of the tunneling spectra of non-magnetic metal nanoparticles. We show that charge fluctuations give rise to tunneling resonances of a new type. Positive and negative fluctuations have differing kinetics and thus account for previously unexplained spectral features that are found experimentally under only forward or only reverse applied bias. The observed clustering of tunneling resonances of Al nanoparticles arises naturally from our theory.

Für die Wirtschaftsinformatik ist diese insoweit relevant, als dass die soziale Komponente gerade bei der Adoption und Erfolgsmessung der zu konstruierenden sozio-technischen Informationssysteme (oder gar „möglichen Welten“) eine nicht zu vernachlässigende Rolle spielt. Dieser Beitrag zeigt zentrale Ergebnisse der „Design Science“-Diskussion in der Managementforschung auf und diskutiert Implikationen für die Erfolgsmessung für Artefakte der Wirtschaftsinformatik.

description: Molecular vibrations play a critical role in the charge transport properties of weakly van der Waals bonded organic semiconductors. To understand which specific phonon modes contribute most strongly to the electron-phonon coupling and ensuing thermal energetic disorder in some of the most widely studied high mobility molecular semiconductors, state-of-the-art quantum mechanical simulations of the vibrational modes and the ensuing electron phonon coupling constants are combined with experimental measurements of the low-frequency vibrations using inelastic neutron scattering and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. In this way, the long-axis sliding motion is identified as a killer phonon mode, which in some molecules contributes more than 80% to the total thermal disorder. Based on this insight, a way to rationalize mobility trends between different materials and derive important molecular design guidelines for new high mobility molecular semiconductors is suggested.

description: We need to re-situate the origin story of the Anthropocene Age into the Doctrine of Discovery and the Great European Witch-hunts. Doing so more accurately traces the formation of the imagination, institutional actions, theological frameworks, and moral codes of conduct that have validated an extractive set of values expressed via relationships in economic, political, social, ecological, and intellectual spheres. This “new” origin story was initially showed to the author through conversations with indigenous peoples from the Haudenosaunee nation and the elders in Mexico; she subsequently did the historical research and connected different, previously disconnected strands of thought which forms this thesis. This “new” narrative is distinct and significantly supplements the predominant narrative of conceptualizing the Anthropocene Age as arising from and during the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment. The thesis offers several critical processes, including ReMembering, ReEnchanting and the powerful process of ecological family history. Through including her own family history into this thesis, Wolcott integrates a personal, social, ecological, and political re-narration process that has significant implications for the identity of the United States of America. After explaining the basic argument, the thesis takes the reader on a historical journey to engage with key moments in time. In Part I, we look briefly at the Roman Empire and the man of Jesus of Nazareth and key moments in the Middle Ages that help form the theological beginnings of what we now refer to as the Doctrine of Discovery. The bulk of Part I connects a series of Papal Bulls that authorized the colonization and subsequent enslavement of Africans in the 1450s, the European Witch Hunts (1484) and the colonization of subsequent ecological and cultural destruction of the Americas (1493). It then considers the implications of these connections. Part II goes into the formation of the United States. It goes through and interweaves theological questions of land, private property and intellectual property, governance, Quakerism, family history, nature, and the notion of “wilderness.” Notions of “reMembering” and “reenchanting” are woven throughout the thesis. The thesis ends with a note of jubilation on the strong potential that arises from these new origin stories and from enabling individual and collective narratives to be reMembered through the integration of multiple perspectives. The conclusions lightly touch on the implications for different leaders of cultural change today, including religious leaders, artists, family members, activists, and those directing financial flows.

description: In light of the continued economic pressure on IT organizations, the efficient delivery of IT/IS services remains a crucial issue. Hence, IT managers have to break down and justify their service delivery costs. For this purpose, many IT executives revert to comparative assessments like IT/IS benchmarking. In recent years, IT/IS benchmarking has been increasingly used to support IT/IS management on a strategic level. This approach has specific requirements for the data collection instrument. Hence, this paper introduces such an instrument for strategic IT/IS benchmarking and presents its development over a period of more than six years, during which it was applied in 126 companies.

By requiring a well-defined variational principle, we identify all local boundary conditions, derive surface observables, and compute their algebra. The observables arise as induced surface terms, which contribute to a non-vanishing Hamiltonian. Unlike the asymptotically flat case, we find that there are an infinite number of surface observables. We give a similar analysis for SU(2) BF theory.

description: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are group of complex and multifactorial pathologies, in which interleukin-6 (IL- 6) gene polymorphisms have been associated with several components of the CVD. Thus, in this study, we thoroughly reviewed and meta-analyzed evidence on the association between the IL-6 (rs1800795) gene polymorphism and CVD. We systematically searched in the PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus databases. The analyses were performed using five study groups based on (1) a combined pool of the overall populations, (2) the country of birth, (3) the continent of birth, (4) the diagnosis and (5) both location (country or continent) and diagnosis. The analysis included the allelic, homozygote, heterozygote, dominant and recessive models. The meta-analysisshowed that -174G>C (rs1800795) is a risk factor for CVD (allelic: OR=1.06, CI 95%=1.02-1.10. Z p value <0.0001; homozygous: OR=1.11, CI 95%=1.03-1.19, Z p value= 0.002; heterozygous: OR=1.08, CI 95%=1.03- 1.21, Z p value= 0.003; dominant: OR= 1.12, CI 95%= 1.07-1.18, Z p value= 0.001) and that this risk increases in the Chinese population. Additionally, we found that carriers of the C allele of 174G>C (rs1800795) polymorphism have an increase in the risk of coronary artery disease under the hereditary models assessed in the study. Using robust data, we found that IL-6 (rs1800795) -174G>C gene polymorphism is associated with CVD risk.

To avoid the influence of common method potential variance (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Lee, & Podsakoff, 2003), this study conducted data collection in two stages, each time point spaced by three weeks. Before the formal start of the first-wave survey, employees were asked to recall in as much detail as possible the employees with overqualification in their jobs. In the first-wave survey, employees reported the levels of overqualification, goal interdependence, emotional responses (malicious and benign envy), and control variables. In the second-wave survey, employees reported their behavioral responses (proactive behavior, workplace ostracism).

Allerdings unterliegen diese Systeme im Gegen-satz zu traditionellen IT-Systemen einer hohen Dynamik, so dass häufig Änderungen zur dauerhaften Einhaltung aller Vorgaben vorgenommen werden müssen. Daher werden im folgenden Beitrag existierende Kennzahlen aus etablierten IT-Governance-Rahmenwerken auf ihre Anwendbarkeit in emergenten Unternehmenssoftwaresystemen analysiert und die Auswirkungen emergenten Verhaltens auf die Governance in diesen Systemen untersucht.

description: The Elk Valley Fish and Fish Habitat Committee (EVFFHC) is a multi-agency group that works in a collaborative manner to discuss technical information related to Teck Coal Limited’s (Teck) fisheries obligations in the Elk Valley. The EVFFHC includes membership from the Ktunaxa Nation Council, British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Teck. In 2015, the EVFFHC developed a regional offsetting strategy for prioritizing habitat rehabilitation. Seven offsetting projects were identified, prioritized, ranked and matched to support Teck’s Fisheries Act authorizations. These test cases focused on Westslope Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) habitat rehabilitation in the upper Fording River watershed. This species is of high conservation value and rehabilitation areas were identified from a long-term population study. The process was collaborative resulting in full endorsement from the EVFFHC to move forward with this critical rehabilitation work. The test cases were constructed from 2016 to 2018. Success is being monitored according to the robust effectiveness monitoring programs also developed by the EVFFHC. The EVFFHC is an outstanding example of a multi-agency approach that works in an inclusive manner to advance mitigation planning for fish habitat throughout the Elk Valley.

Viscous fingering patterns in ferrofluids

description: Viscous fingering occurs in the flow of two immiscible, viscous fluids between the plates of a Hele-Shaw cell. Due to pressure gradients or gravity, the initially planar interface separating the two fluids undergoes a Saffman-Taylor instability and develops finger-like structures. When one of the fluids is a ferrofluid and a perpendicular magnetic field is applied, the labyrinthine instability supplements the usual viscous fingering instability, resulting in visually striking, complex patterns. We consider this problem in a rectangular flow geometry using a perturbative mode-coupling analysis. We deduce two general results: viscosity contrast between the fluids drives interface asymmetry, with no contribution from magnetic forces; magnetic repulsion within the ferrofluid generates finger tip-splitting, which is absent in the rectangular geometry for ordinary fluids.

Reactions of biomass derived oxygenates on metal and carbide surfaces

description: Biomass is a renewable resource as an alternative to fossil fuels for chemical and fuel production. Through depolymerization, such as hydrolysis and pyrolysis, biomass can be converted to numerous oxygenates, which can be further upgraded into value-added products. This thesis processes a fundamental study to investigate the upgrading of two platform chemicals, furfural and glycerol, which are produced from hemicellulose and triglyceride, respectively.
      The ring-opening of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA), formed by full hydrogenation of furfural, produces a valuable monomer, 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD). This thesis reveals that the ring-opening of partially hydrogenated furfural to produce 1,5-pentanediol is a promising pathway, which has a lower activation barrier than that from the furfural-THFA-1,5-PeD pathway. The surface with strong interaction with furan ring can enhance the ring-opening reaction. However, a proper binding with the furan ring is also critical to avoid further decomposition.
      The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction can convert furfural to 2-methylfuran, a promising fuel additive. A comparison of bimetallic catalysts consisting of 3d transition metal over platinum, 3d/Pt(111) surfaces suggests that the 3d-terminated surfaces with strong oxophilic metal modifier have high HDO activity. However, Pt is a precious metal and the 3d-terminated 3d/Pt(111) is unstable due to the diffusion of the 3d metal. The two drawbacks make 3d/Pt catalysts unpractical for industrial use. Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) shows Pt-like properties as a substrate and has high diffusion barrier to stabilize the surface 3d atoms, making it an ideal material to replace Pt. The 3d/Mo2C shows similar furfural HDO activity to 3d/Pt(111) with an enhanced stability in both surface science experiment and reactor evaluations.
      Due to the promising performance of 3d/Mo2C catalysts, they can be utilized in the HDO reaction of glycerol. Glycerol has three C-O bonds, and the selective HDO reaction upgrades glycerol into various products by cleaving different numbers of C-O bonds. The strong oxophilicity makes Mo2C active to break all C-O bonds of glycerol forming propylene. The Cu modifier can reduce the oxophilictiy of the Cu/Mo¬2C surface and products with fewer C-O bonds cleaved are observed as Cu coverage increases.

description: We explore the possibility of selecting a natural vacuum state for scalar and tensor gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations in the context of hybrid quantum cosmology, by identifying those variables for the description of the perturbations that display a dynamical behavior adapted to the evolution of the entire cosmology. We make use of a canonical formulation of the whole of the cosmological system in which the perturbative gauge-invariant degrees of freedom are identified as canonical variables. Introducing background-dependent linear canonical transformations on these perturbations and completing them for the entire system, we are able to characterize a generic collection of annihilation and creationlike variables that obey the dynamics dictated by a respective collection of Hamiltonians. We then impose that such Hamiltonians possess no self-interaction terms so that, in a Fock representation with normal ordering, they act diagonally on the basis of $n$-particle states. This leads to a semilinear first-order partial differential equation with respect to the background for the coefficients that define the annihilation and creationlike variables for all Fourier modes, as well as to a very precise ultraviolet characterization of them. Such first-order equation contains, in the imaginary part of its complex solutions, the complicated second-order field equation that typically arises for the time-dependent frequency of the perturbations in the context of quantum field theory in curved spacetimes. We check that the asymptotic knowledge acquired allows one to select the standard vacua in Minkowski and de Sitter spacetimes. Finally, we discuss the relation of our vacuum and the standard adiabatic vacua, and check that our asymptotic characterization of variables with a diagonal Hamiltonian displays the properties that would be desirable for an adiabatic state of infinite order.

description: Die Theorie des Fahrverhaltens eines Einspurfahrzeuges wird aufgestellt, Berechnungsmöglichkeiten werden aufgezeigt. An Hand der entwickelten Gleichungen werden die mechanischen Vorgänge bei der Stabilisierung des Fahrzeuges erklärt. Durch eingehende Fahrversuche wird die Brauchbarkeit dieser Bewegungsgleichungen nachgewiesen. Als entscheidende Kriterien für gutes Fahrverhalten sind hiernach Steuereinschlag, Seitenneigung und die Möglichkeit des Lenkungsflatterns die vornehmlich durch die Trägheitsverhältnisse des Vorderradsystems beeinflußt werden können, anzusehen. Der Einfluß der Baugrößen wird an zwei Beispielen rechnerisch mit Hilfe von elektronischen Rechenmaschinen ermittelt.
description: The theory of steering and stability of a single-track vehicle is set up, calculation possibilities are given. The mechanical proceeds of stabilization of the vehicle are explained by means of equations developed. The usefulness of these equations of motion is demonstrated by exact driving tests. Accordingly the steering angle, angle of lean of motor cycle and the possibility of steering wobble, which can be influenced especially by the moment of inertia of the front wheel system, are to be considered as the decisive characteristics for good driving performance. By means of two examples calculated on electronic computers the influence of the structural dimensions is determined.

description: The random field Ising model in three dimensions with Gaussian random fields is studied at zero temperature for system sizes up to 60^3. For each realization of the normalized random fields, the strength of the random field, Delta and a uniform external, H is adjusted to find the finite-size critical point. The finite-size critical point is identified as the point in the H-Delta plane where three degenerate ground states have the largest discontinuities in the magnetization. The discontinuities in the magnetization and bond energy between these ground states are used to calculate the magnetization and specific heat critical exponents and both exponents are found to be near zero.
