description: Recent advancements in neural network quantisation have yielded remarkable outcomes, with three-bit networks reaching state-of-the-art full-precision accuracy in complex tasks. These achievements present valuable opportunities for accelerating neural networks by computing in reduced precision. Implementing it on FPGAs can take advantage of bit-level reconfigurability, which is not available on conventional CPUs and GPUs. Simultaneously, the high data intensity of neural network processing has inspired computing-in-memory paradigms, including on FPGA platforms. By programming the effects of trained model weights as lookup operations in soft logic, the transfer of weight data from memory units can be avoided, alleviating the memory bottleneck. However, previous methods face poor scalability - the high logic utilisation limiting them to small networks/sub-networks of binary models with low accuracy. In this paper, we introduce Table Lookup Multiply-Accumulate (TLMAC) as a framework to compile and optimise quantised neural networks for scalable lookup-based processing. TLMAC clusters and maps unique groups of weights to lookup-based processing elements, enabling highly parallel computation while taking advantage of parameter redundancy. Further place and route algorithms are proposed to reduce LUT utilisation and routing congestion. We demonstrate that TLMAC significantly improves the scalability of previous related works. Our efficient logic mapping and high degree of reuse enables entire ImageNet-scale quantised models with full-precision accuracy to be implemented using lookup-based computing on one commercially available FPGA.

description: The Alpha Magnetic Spectrograph (AMS) is a composite particle detector to be accommodated on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2008. AMS is mainly devoted to galactic, charged Cosmic Rays studies, Antimatter and Dark Matter searches. Besides the main, classical physics goals, capabilities in the field of GeV and multi-GeV gamma astrophysics have been established and are under investigation by a number of groups. Due to the unsteadiness of the ISS platform, a star-mapper device is required in order to fully exploit the intrinsic arc-min angular resolution provided by the Silicon Tracker. A star-mapper is conceptually an imaging, optical instrument able to autonomously recognize a stellar field and to calculate its own orientation with respect to an inertial reference frame. AMICA (Astro Mapper for Instruments Check of Attitude) on AMS is responsible for providing real-time information that is going to be used off-line for compensating the large uncertainties in the ISS flight attitude and the structural degrees of freedom. In this paper, we describe in detail the AMICA sub-system and the accommodation/integration issues and the in-flight alignment procedure adopting identified galactic (pulsars) and extragalactic (AGNs) sources.

We find that the models are closely related to the supersymmetric non-linear $σ$-model. We interpret the corres\-ponding path integrals in terms of super loop space equivariant cohomology. It turns out that they can be evaluated exactly using localizations techniques.

description: Electronic states near surface regions can be distinct from bulk states, which are paramount in understanding various physical phenomena occurring at surfaces and in applications in semiconductors, energy, and catalysis. Here, we report an abnormal surface region band enhancement effect in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on kagome superconductor RbV3Sb5, by depositing noble gases with fine control. In contrast to conventional surface contamination, the intensity of surface region Sb band can be enhanced more than three times with noble gas adsorption. In the meantime, a hole-dope effect is observed for the enhanced surface region band, with other bands hardly changing. The doping effect is more pronounced with heavier noble gases. We propose that noble gas atoms selectively fill into alkali metal vacancy sites on the surface, which improves the surface condition, boosts surface region bands, and effectively dopes it with the Pauli repulsion mechanism. Our results provide a novel and reversible way to improve surface conditions and tune surface region bands by controlled surface noble gas deposition.

description: The Cu/Fe/Pd multilayers were transformed into L10-ordered FePdCu alloy by pulsed laser annealing. The initial multilayers were irradiated with 1, 10, 100, and 1000 laser pulses with duration time of 10 ns and energy density of 235 mJ/cm2. The gradual change of the number of laser pulses allowed to investigate the structural and magnetic properties at early stages of the transformation and L10-ordering processes. The measurements were carried out using X-Ray Diffraction, SQUID magnetometry, and Magnetic Force Microscopy. We found that L10 FePdCu (111)-oriented nanograins are formed by ordering of the coherent domains present in the as-deposited multilayer. The irradiation does not change the vertical size of the (111) crystallites. The L10 (002)-oriented grains appear at the later stages of the transformation and their size increases with the number of applied laser pulses. Additionally, the laser annealing induces the magnetic ordering of the irradiated material, which was observed as an increase of the saturation magnetisation and the Curie temperature with the rising number of pulses. We also observed, that irradiation with 1000 pulses leads to the loss of order, which is reflected in the drop of the Curie temperature.

The data set was collected by the Run II D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and corresponds to approximately 250 inverse pb of integrated luminosity at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Under the assumption that the WWgamma couplings are equal to the WWZ couplings and using a form factor scale of Lambda = 2.0 TeV, the combined 95% C.L. one-dimensional coupling limits from all three channels are -0.32 < Delta kappa < 0.45 and -0.29 < lambda < 0.30.

Paleoecology

description: This dissertation reports the work I have completed with two research projects, using paleoecological methods to compare precipitation histories to inform archaeological investigation at two sites. The first chapter will present an analysis of the population history of leporids (rabbits and hares) from Abrigo de los Escorpiones, a shell midden site on the coast of northern Baja California, over the past 10,000 years. Comparison of that population history to sedimentary-based records of the frequency and intensity of El Niño events over the same time period reveals strong correlations between precipitation and overall abundance, taxonomic composition, and age structure of the leporid population at the site. The second chapter of this dissertation reports the results of a multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of climate during the past 2000 years at a site in Range Creek Canyon, in the Tavaputs Plateau region of eastern Utah. Results from the analysis of fossil pollen, macroscopic charcoal, sediment loss on ignition, magnetic susceptibility, and stable carbon isotope analysis of sediments demonstrate the site was used by human horticulturalists as a maize field during the Fremont occupation of the canyon between roughly AD 800 and AD 1100. Additionally, the paleoenvironmental proxies reveal the period of Fremont occupation of the canyon likely saw less summer precipitation than today, very likely necessitating irrigation of fields for maize horticulturalists.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: The existing molecular relaxation models based on both parallel relaxation theory and series relaxation theory cannot extract the contributions of gas compositions to acoustic relaxation absorption in mixtures. In this paper, we propose an analytical model to predict acoustic relaxation absorption and clarify composition relaxation contributions based on the rate-determining energy transfer processes in molecular relaxation in excitable gases. By combining parallel and series relaxation theory, the proposed model suggests that the vibration-translation process of the lowest vibrational mode in each composition provides the primary deexcitation path of the relaxation energy, and the rate-determining vibration-vibration processes between the lowest mode and others dominate the coupling energy transfer between different modes. Thus, each gas composition contributes directly one single relaxation process to the molecular relaxation in mixture, which can be illustrated by the decomposed acoustic relaxation absorption spectrum of the single relaxation process. The proposed model is validated by simulation results in good agreement with experimental data such as $\mathrm{N_2}$, $\mathrm{O_2}$, $\mathrm{CO_2}$, $\mathrm{CH_4}$ and their mixtures.

description: The objective of this study is to identify and compare the contributing factors to pedestrian injury severity in pedestrian-vehicle crashes considering different land use patterns. The pedestrian-vehicle crash data from 2007 to 2018 were collected from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). A total number of 15,807 observations with 72 categorical variables were included in the final dataset. Two mixed logit models were developed to analyze the crash dataset with segmentations of two dominant land use areas (i.e., residential and commercial). Fixed and random parameters were found in both models. Estimation results and marginal effects of significant explanatory variables were investigated. In general, the residential model has 24 fixed parameters and 3 random parameters. The commercial model has 31 fixed parameters and 3 random parameters. According to the estimated results, elder or drunk factors are found to have more impacts on severe injuries in residential areas. Large and mid-size vehicles increase the probability of severe injuries in commercial areas. The marginal effect values for severe injury at non-intersections have opposite signs in the two models. Besides, speed limits between 40 and 45 mph and factors related to poor visibility are more likely to result in severe pedestrian injuries. Coarse asphalt pavement can reduce the probability of severe pedestrian injuries. This study investigated the pedestrian injury severity in pedestrian-vehicle crashes considering two types of land use using a mixed logit approach. Based on the discussions of factors contributing to the pedestrian injury severity, policies and countermeasures to improve traffic safety are suggested. Above all, a mixed-use land development policy is recommended. Other suggestions are summarized below: (1) giving more considerations to older pedestrians when planning and designing residential areas; (2) strengthening laws and education against drunk driving and even drunk walking on/across the roadways; (3) increasing the frequency of the patrols and alcohol tests; (4) improving lighting conditions and road alignments; (5) establishing a limited-truck-passing-period policy especially in commercial areas; and (6) improving the pavement conditions wherever needed.
AKT and mTOR in the Heart
Creators: name: Zhu, Yi
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for heart disease. In cardiac muscle, PI3K-Akt signaling is persistently activated, despite a reduction in glucose uptake. Given that persistent activation of PI3K and Akt in the heart may be a consequence of hyperinsulinemia in insulin resistant states, the study in Chapter 2 was designed to determine if constitutive activation of PI3K and Akt signaling in the heart could independently impair insulin-mediated glucose uptake and GLUT4 translocation. The study was initially predicated on the hypothesis that chronic activation of PI3K and Akt signaling would activate mTORC1-mediated S6K-IRS negative feedback signaling and desensitize insulin-mediated glucose transport. Unexpectedly, the study discovered that PI3K and Akt activation impairs myocardial glucose uptake prior to any evidence of S6K activation despite normal translocation of GLUT4 in cardiomyocytes. These data indicate that activation of PI3K and Akt may impair glucose uptake via mechanisms that impair the intrinsic activity of the GLUT4 transporter. Insulin signaling and many other cellular signaling pathways converge at mTOR, which has been intensively studied in cell culture and different mouse tissues. However, the role of mTOR in cardiac development has never been studied. In Chapter 3, an inducible mTOR deficient mouse model was generated for studying the role of mTOR in cardiac bioenergetics. A decrease of fatty acid utilization, which leads to an impairment in ATP production, was identified in the mTOR deficient heart prior to development of cardiac dysfunction and lethality of the mice. Ongoing studies are focusing on the mechanisms of how mTOR regulates fatty acid metabolism in the heart. Taken together, this dissertation has advanced our understanding of insulin signaling in regulation of glucose uptake and GLUT4 translocation in the heart, as well as the role of mTOR in cardiac development and cardiac bioenergetics.

description: We provide a class of bound entangled states that have positive distillable secure key rate. The smallest state of this kind is $4 \otimes 4$, which shows that peculiar security contained in bound entangled states does not need high dimensional systems. We show, that for these states a positive key rate can be obtained by {\it one-way} Devetak-Winter protocol. Subsequently the volume of bound entangled key-distillable states in arbitrary dimension is shown to be nonzero. We provide a scheme of verification of cryptographic quality of experimentally prepared state in terms of local observables. Proposed set of 7 collective settings is proven to be optimal in number of settings.

description: Within a mathematical model, the metabolic process of glycolysis is studied. The general scheme of glycolysis is considered as a natural result of the biochemical evolution. By using the theory of dissipative structures, the conditions of self-organization of the given process are sought. The autocatalytic processes resulting in the conservation of cyclicity in the dynamics of the process are determined. The conditions of breaking of the synchronization of the process, increase in the multiplicity of a cyclicity, and appearance of chaotic modes are studied. The phase-parametric diagrams of a cascade of bifurcations, which characterize the transition to chaotic modes according to the Feigenbaum scenario and the intermittence, are constructed. The strange attractors formed as a result of the funnel effect are found. The complete spectra of Lyapunov indices and divergences for the obtained modes are calculated. The values of KS-entropy, horizons of predictability, and Lyapunov dimensions of strange attractors are determined. Some conclusions concerning the structural-functional connections in glycolysis and their influence on the stability of the metabolic process in a cell are presented.

description: A new method for the formal solution of the 2D radiative transfer equation in axial symmetry in the presence of arbitrary velocity fields is presented. The combination of long and short characteristics methods is used to solve the radiative transfer equation. We include the velocity field in detail using the Local Lorentz Transformation. This allows us to obtain a significantly better description of the photospheric region, where the gradient of the global velocity is too small for the Sobolev approximation to be valid. Sample test calculations for the case of a stellar wind and a rotating atmosphere are presented.

Alkali-silica reaction resistant concrete using pumice blended cement

Subjects: subject: Civil engineering
subject: FOS: Civil engineering
subject: Materials science

description: Durability of structures is a major challenge for the building industry. One of the many types of concrete deterioration that can affect durability is alkali-silica reaction (ASR). ASR has been found in most types of concrete structures, including dams, bridges, pavements, and other structures that are 20 to 50 years old. The degradation mechanism of ASR produces a gel that significantly expands in the presence of water as supplied from the surrounding environment. This expansion gel product can create high stresses and cracking of the concrete, which can lead to other forms of degradation and expensive structural replacement costs. The four essential factors that produce an expansive ASR gel in concrete are the presence of alkalis, siliceous aggregate, moisture, and free calcium hydroxide (CH). If concrete is starved of any one of these essential components, the expansion can be prevented. Reducing CH through the use of a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) such as natural pozzolan pumice is the focus of this research. By using a pozzolan, the amount of CH is reduced with time based on the effectiveness of the pozzolan. Many pozzolans exist, but one such naturally occurring pozzolanic material is pumice. This research focuses on determining the effect of a finely ground pumice as a SCM in terms of its resistance to ASR expansion, as well as improving resistance to other potential concrete durability mechanisms. In spite of having high alkali contents in the pumice, mixtures containing the SCM pumice more effectively mitigated the ASR expansion reaction than other degradation mechanisms. Depending on the reactivity of the aggregates and fineness of the pumice, 10-15% replacement of cement with the pumice was found to reduce the ASR expansion to the acceptable limits. The amount of CH remaining in the concrete was compared to the ASR expansion in order to improve understanding of the role of CH in the ASR reaction. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were used to quantify the relative amount of CH across time. From analyzing mortar specimens in an aggressive ASR environment for 14 days, specimens with 15% of cement replaced by a finely ground pumice showed up to 40% lower CH content and 95% reduction in ASR expansion compared to 100% cement specimens. Instead of using low alkali cement, this type of pumice can be utilized in longer durable service-life structures despite whether highly reactive siliceous aggregates are used in the concrete mixtures.

The specimens include two isolated dentaries, an isolated braincase, several isolated scales, and an articulated, but incomplete specimen. The isolated bones are described in open nomenclature, whereas the articulated specimen is assigned to a new genus and species. The new taxon, Grimmenichthys ansorgei, gen. et sp. nov., shows an autapomorphy (notch in anteroventral margin of preopercle present) and some synapomorphies (e.g., five or six infraorbital bones; lepisosteoid-type scales, deeper than long in predorsal region, present) of Pholidophoridae s.s. The abdominal vertebrae of Grimmenichthys ansorgei, gen. et sp. nov., are diplospondylous which is also the case in the pholidophorids Pholidoctenus serianus and Malingichthys nimaiguensis, but the pattern of mineralization of the hemichordacentra is different from the condition in both of these pholidophorid species. http://zoobank.org:urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:55B9DFBC-0394-4243-80C2-B55744C156C0 SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP Citation for this article: Konwert, M., and M.

description: The purpose of this research was to describe calculated risk, risk perceptions of future breast cancer, and accuracy of risk perceptions of relatives (sisters or daughters) of women who have breast cancer and received genetic counseling regarding indeterminate negative BRCA1/2 test results. A secondary purpose was to evaluate breast cancer screening recommendations from relative's primary care providers (PCPs) and recent screening participation. We assessed the type and amount of information about genetic counseling/testing that was shared among family members and with PCPs. Latent variable modeling was used to assess the influence of perceived amount of shared information on the accuracy of relative's own risk perceptions about breast cancer. Using a cross-sectional design, surveys and telephone interviews were conducted with 85 female relatives. Most estimated their risk to be higher than calculated estimates, yet calculated risk demonstrated that most were at average-risk (operationalized as < 20% lifetime risk by Claus and BRCAPRO risk calculators). A majority of average-risk relatives (87%) reported receiving recommendations for annual mammography from their PCP, and having a mammogram within the past 1-2 years. However, 10% of women were identified as being at elevated-risk (>20% lifetime risk by Claus or BRCAPRO), warranting annual breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening according to national guidelines; none of these women received recommendations for MRI screening. Regarding sharing of information, nearly 20% of relatives reported that nothing was iv shared with them about their family member's genetic counseling; most (76.5%) did not discuss their family member's genetic testing or test results with their PCP. Further, relatives were generally unaware of the existence of a genetic counseling summary letter provided as part of standardized genetic counseling. Those who perceived more information was shared with them about their relative's genetic counseling had more accurate perceptions of their own risk for breast cancer (correlation = 0.748 (p=0.000) than women who perceived less information was shared (correlation = 0.346 (p=0.05). Our findings underscore the need for effective strategies that facilitate sharing of genetic counseling information with relatives and PCPs.

description: The prior distribution reflects knowledge and uncertainty of the modeled parameters. Determining the prior distribution for a dose-finding clinical trial can be influential in its design and analysis. Using the planning of a phase 2 trial for COPD with a dose-response curve as a case study, we illustrate the use of relevant historical data for the nonlinear curve mean-model parameters as well as consideration for terms to characterize between-trial and within-trial variability. Through a predictive inference exercise, a data-driven informative prior distribution is constructed for the future study. We share our strategies on how to obtain informative Bayesian priors for both design and analysis of dose-finding clinical trials using relevant historical data and deal with the associated issues.

description: No definitive evidence of spacetime supersymmetry (SUSY) that transmutes fermions into bosons and vice versa has been revealed in nature so far. Moreover, whether spacetime SUSY in 2+1 and higher dimensions can occur or emerge in generic microscopic models remains open. Here, we introduce a lattice realization of a \textit{single} Dirac fermion with attractive Hubbard interactions that preserves both time-reversal and chiral symmetries. By performing numerically-exact sign-problem-free determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the interacting single Dirac fermion in 2+1 dimensions features a superconducting quantum critical point (QCP). More remarkably, we demonstrate that the ${\mathcal N}$=2 spacetime SUSY in 2+1D emerges at the superconducting QCP by showing that the fermions and bosons have \textit{identical} anomalous dimensions 1/3, a hallmark of the emergent SUSY. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first observation of emergent 2+1D spacetime SUSY in quantum microscopic models. We further show some experimental signatures which can be measured to test such emergent SUSY in candidate systems such as the surface of 3D topological insulators.

description: We analyze the Scarf potential, which exhibits both discrete energy bound states and energy bands, through the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi approach. The singularity structure and the boundary conditions in the above approach, naturally isolate the bound and periodic states, once the problem is mapped to the zero energy sector of another quasi-exactly solvable quantum problem. The energy eigenvalues are obtained without having to solve for the corresponding eigenfunctions explicitly. We also demonstrate how to find the eigenfunctions through this method.

description: The Utah Electrode Array (UEA) is a brain-implanted microelectrode recording device that has shown promise to assist patients with motor-control disabilities. Unfortunately, the UEA suffers from a foreign body response (FBR) that results in device movement away from implantation target, encapsulation of devices in meningeal origin tissue, loss of cortical tissue, and persistent neuroinflammation in the brain. These issues affect device functionality, and thus biocompatibility, and hinder widespread implementation of this technology. This dissertation examines whether device anchoring or extracellular matrix (ECM)-based device coating strategies can influence the biocompatibility of chronically implanted UEAs in the rat cortex. Results show that unanchored UEAs have a reduced FBR in comparison to those anchored to the skull, but also suffer from device movement as a result of cortical tissue remodeling, likely attributable to implantation-associated injury. To address implantation-associated injury, ECM was explored as a surface adsorbed device coating and was shown to be both hemostatic and immunomodulatory with in vitro assays. An apparatus was developed to coat Avitene™, an FDA-approved neurosurgical hemostatic ECM, onto the complex surface geometry of the UEA. Compared to uncoated control devices in a chronic rat model, Avitene™ coated devices experienced an enhanced FBR characterized by larger lesion cavities, enhanced meningeal encapsulation, and increased neuroinflammation, attributed to a higher degree of proinflammatory macrophages found surrounding the device coating. These result imply that future ECM-based coatings should include immunomodulatory components that address device-adherent macrophage activation state. Critical improvements in device anchoring and modulation of the FBR are still necessary to improve the biocompatibility of the UEA. Reducing the prevalence of FBR-related device failure is a necessary step that will require further attention before patients can benefit from this technology.

description: We present the results of a systematic observational campaign designed to search for microvariability in the optical polarization of BL Lac objects. We have observed a sample formed by 8 X-ray-selected and 10 radio-selected sources, looking for rapid changes in both the degree of linear polarization and the corresponding polarization angle. The whole campaign was carried out along the last three years, and most of the objects were observed at least on two consecutive nights. The statistical properties of both classes of BL Lac objects are compared, and some general conclusions on the nature of the phenomenon are drawn. In general, radio selected sources seem to display higher duty cycles for polarimetric microvariability and, on average, they have a stronger polarization.

description: A search for direct production of scalar bottom quarks (sb) is performed with 310 pb-1 of data collected by the DO experiment in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The topology analyzed consists of two b jets and an imbalance in transverse momentum due to undetected neutralinos chi0_1, with chi0_1 assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle. We find the data consistent with standard model expectations, and set a 95% C.L. exclusion domain in the (m_sb,m_chi0_1) mass plane, improving significantly upon the results from Run I of the Tevatron.

description: In species reproducing both sexually and asexually clones are often more common in recently established populations. Earlier studies have suggested that this pattern arises from natural selection favouring asexual recruitment in young populations. Alternatively, as we show here, this pattern may result from stochastic processes during species-range expansions. We model a dioecious species expanding into a new area in which all individuals are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction, and all individuals have equal survival rates and dispersal distances. Even under conditions that eventually favour sexual recruitment, colonisation starts with an asexual wave. Long after colonisation is completed, a sexual wave erodes clonal dominance. If individuals reproduce more than one season, and with only local dispersal, a few large clones typically dominate for thousands of reproductive seasons. Adding occasional long-distance dispersal, more dominant clones emerge, but they persist for a shorter period of time. The general mechanism involved is simple: edge effects at the expansion front favour asexual (uniparental) recruitment where potential mates are rare. Specifically, our stochastic model makes detailed predictions different from a selection model, and comparing these with empirical data from a postglacially established seaweed species (Fucus radicans) shows that in this case a stochastic mechanism is strongly supported.

Algorithms and Coresets for Large-Scale Kernel Smoothing

description: Kernel smoothing provides a simple way of finding structures in data sets without the imposition of a parametric model, for example, nonparametric regression and density estimates. However, in many data-intensive applications, the data set could be large. Thus, evaluating a kernel density estimate or kernel regression over the data set directly can be prohibitively expensive in big data. This dissertation is working on how to efficiently find a smaller data set that can approximate the original data set with a theoretical guarantee in the kernel smoothing setting and how to extend it to more general smooth range spaces. For kernel density estimates, we propose randomized and deterministic algorithms with quality guarantees that are orders of magnitude more efficient than previous algorithms, which do not require knowledge of the kernel or its bandwidth parameter and are easily parallelizable. Our algorithms are applicable to any large-scale data processing framework. We then further investigate how to measure the error between two kernel density estimates, which is usually measured either in L1 or L2 error. In this dissertation, we investigate the challenges in using a stronger error, L ∞ (or worst case) error. We present efficient solutions for how to estimate the L∞ error and how to choose the bandwidth parameter for a kernel density estimate built on a subsample of a large data set. We next extend smoothed versions of geometric range spaces from kernel range spaces to more general types of ranges, so that an element of the ground set can be contained in a range with a non-binary value in [0,1]. We investigate the approximation of these range spaces through ϵ-nets and ϵ-samples. Finally, we study coresets algorithms for kernel regression. The size of the coresets are independent of the size of the data set, rather they only depend on the error guarantee, and in some cases the size of domain and amount of smoothing. We evaluate our methods on very large time series and spatial data, demonstrate that they can be constructed extremely efficiently, and allow for great computational gains.
