Between samskaras and adhikaras
Creators: name: Dhar, Debotri

description: This dissertation examines the relationship between suicide, the state and women’s right against rape in contemporary India. By situating raped women’s suicide within the complex conversation between the Hindu nation’s gendered notion of samskaras on one hand and the modern Indian state’s narrative of equal rights or adhikaras on the other, the dissertation examines why raped female citizen-subjects threaten or commit suicide, and the state’s response(s) to such suicides in light of women’s legal right against rape. In this respect, the dissertation is particularly attentive to the unfortunate agency of raped women who use public suicide in order to claim their right against rape from the postcolonial Indian state.   Contemporary scholarship on women’s suicide in India has primarily been framed within a clinical-psychological framework, while women’s right against rape in/and the Indian state has been theorized predominantly within feminist legal paradigms. While some work does engage the political-cultural aspect of women’s suicide, raped women’s suicide and its relationship to rights and the state remains an un-theorized area of inquiry. This study of rape victims’ suicide thus brings within a single analytical frame two questions - women’s right against rape in/and the state; and women’s suicide – that, till now, have been studied separately. Arguing that suicide as a complex, embodied form of agency exercised by raped female citizen-subjects colludes with, as well as contests, the collective identities of gender, class, caste, religion, the ‘local’ and the ‘national,’ and evokes equally complex responses from the postcolonial state, the dissertation offers new and challenging insights on women’s rights, culture and the state.  The dissertation is interdisciplinary, and draws from a range of theoretical perspectives including feminist political theory, postcolonial theory, cultural theory, psychology and Indian Studies in order to offer a complex, layered understanding of raped women’s suicide and the state. Methodologically, the dissertation combines the empirical and the interpretive, juxtaposing National Crime Records Bureau data on rape and suicide along with textual analyses of a range of relevant texts including religious treatises, historical accounts, political materials, judicial judgments, mental health professionals’ narratives, and news reports.

description: A University of California Center for Hydrologic Modeling Proposed Director: Prof. Jay Famiglietti, U. C. Irvine Host Campus: Irvine Participating Campuses: Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz Participating Labs: Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos Here we propose to a new initiative, the University of California Center for Hydrologic Modeling (UCCHM). The purpose of the center will be to harness the considerable strength across nearly all the UC campuses and affiliated labs to create a state of the art integrated model of California water resources. The models and modeling framework developed will allow UCCHM participants to address a number of pressing issues of importance to California and to the nation. These include how water availability will change in response to climate change and a diminishing snowpack; how these resources will vary in response to climate oscillations such as El Nino; and how the frequency of hydrologic extremes such as flooding and drought will affect California. A primary goal of the UCCHM will be to develop an integrated hydrologic model for the state that includes all major water cycle components (e.g. snow, surface water, soil moisture, groundwater) and water management activities (e.g. irrigation, groundwater withdrawal, redistribution). Key features of the integrated model will be its utilization of in situ and remotely sensed observations, including those from advanced sensors such as passive and active radar, lidar, altimetry, gravimetry, etc.; its very high resolution; its nesting capability to perform more detailed simulation of selected watersheds or regions; and its portability to high performance computers. We envision that the major water agencies will participate in the effort as stakeholders. Further, an important outcome of the effort will be to influence local, state and regional (Western U.S.) policy and decision making. The proposed activity is consistent with other national efforts in the U. S. and around the globe. As such we expect that the effort can become self-sustaining over time.

description: Our understanding of galaxy evolution is on the cusp of a revolution. In the last ten years a concordance model of cosmology has emerged, known as Dark Energy + Cold Dark Matter, which provides the first solid context for the interpretation of extragalactic observations. A new suite of large telescopes and instruments are poised for commissioning that will transform our understanding of galaxy assembly from the earliest stages of cosmic evolution to the rich complexity of the local Universe. Realizing this opportunity, individual campuses of the University of California system have invested heavily in observational and theoretical galaxy formation research in the last several years. We aim to build on this investment by creating a new inter-campus program to bring together all five southern UC campuses –UCI, UCLA, UCR, UCSB, and UCSD – to form the Southern California Center for Galaxy Evolution. These campuses, all within a short drive of each other, will unite to be the largest and most dynamic institute of its kind in the world, with more than 25 active world-renowned researchers in galaxy formation, spanning a complementary range of expertise and experience. The resultant multi-campus collaborations will maximize the science impact of UC resources like the Keck Observatory by pooling the allocated time of many PI’s. Over five years, we will 1) recruit and hire four postdoctoral Center Fellows, who will be selected based on submitted research proposals that link faculty from at least two Center campuses; 2) hold frequent workshops for Center faculty, postdocs, and graduate students that will lead to an interchange of data, results, ideas, and expertise and spark future pooled-resource collaborations; and 3) actively facilitate mentoring of graduate students and postdoctoral Center Fellows by faculty on multiple campuses. The prospects for external funding of resultant collaborations are high, given the past success of multi-campus collaborative projects in galaxy formation.
“Following,” an alternative mating strategy of male olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis)
Creators: name: Danish, Lisa Michelle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Recent studies revealing the limitations of the Priority of Access model suggest the evolutionary significance of alternative mating strategies.  The olive baboon’s (Papio hamadryas anubis) social system provide a valuable opportunity to examine a little studied alternative mating strategy- “following.”  The most well known mating strategy of male baboons is individual aggressive competition for a consortship, a temporary relationship between a male and fertile female (Bercovitch 1995).  What is less often appreciated about this phenomenon, however, is that the consorting pair is typically shadowed by a retinue of “followers” that maintain proximity to the consort pair for extended periods of time.  Despite qualitative observations in several primate species, we know virtually nothing about the functional significance of this common male behavior, although it has been proposed as an alternative mating strategy.  My dissertation addresses the following three questions regarding the factors influencing the expression of alternative male mating strategies: (1) what are the fitness costs and benefits of alternative mating strategies for males?; (2) how does male condition impact the expression of alternative mating strategies?;  and (3) do intersexual interactions influence these strategies?  I examined these questions using behavioral data and genetic data collected on olive baboons during a 19 month field study in Laikipia District, Kenya.   My research indicates that following is an alternative mating strategy and can be directly linked to deviation from the Priority of Access Model, as observed through both behavior and infant paternity.  Followers do not experience costs related to activity budget or feeding bout length, although they do face an increased risk of injury due to involvement in agonistic interactions with the consort male and spend less time interacting with other individuals.  Following particularly provides lower ranking males with more opportunities to mate as theoretically predicted, although higher ranking males also use this strategy, depending on the distribution of reproductive opportunities.  Female choice and male coercion also influence the expression of following, indicating the importance of intersexual interactions.    My dissertation expands our understanding of alternative mating strategies by incorporating a little studied and behaviorally flexible taxon, and has implications for models of social evolution and our understanding of human evolution.

Towards accurate group activity analysis in videos
Creators: name: Cui, Xinyi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Human activity analysis is an important area of computer vision research today. The goal of human activity analysis is to automatically analyze ongoing activities from an unknown video. The ability to analyze complex human activities from videos has many important applications, such as smart camera system, video surveillance, etc. However, it is still far from an off-the-shelf system. There are many challenging problems and it is still an active research area. This dissertation focuses on addressing two problems: various camera motions and effective modeling of group behaviors.    We propose a unified and robust framework to detect salient motions from diverse types of videos. Given a video sequence that is recorded from either a stationary or moving camera, our algorithm is able to detect the salient motion regions. The model is inspired by two observations: 1) background motion caused by orthographic cameras lies in a low rank subspace, and 2) pixels belonging to one trajectory tend to group together. Based on these two observations, we introduce a new model using both low rank and group sparsity constraints. It is able to robustly decompose a motion trajectory matrix into foreground and background ones. Extensive experiments demonstrate very competitive performance on both synthetic data and real videos.    After salient motion detection, a new method is proposed to model group behaviors in video sequences. This approach effectively models group activities based on social behavior analysis. Different from previous work that uses independent local features, our method explores the relationships between the current behavior state of a subject and its actions. An interaction energy potential function is proposed to represent the current behavior state of a subject, and velocity is used as its actions. Our method does not depend on human detection, so it is robust to detection errors. Instead, tracked salient points are able to provide a good estimation of modeling group interaction. We evaluate our algorithm in two datasets: UMN and BEHAVE. Experimental results show its promising performance against the state-of-art methods.
Children of the Revocation

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation examines the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in late seventeenth-century France and its connections to the absolutist monarchy of Louis XIV and the shifting educational ideals of the period. Focusing on the detailed implementation of the edict in Paris, it discusses the importance of the development of a new bureaucratic structure that allowed Louis XIV to remain relatively involved in the details of implementation, while entrusting the daily operations to individuals loyal to the crown. Placing the Revocation in the context of administrative expansion, growing central control, and idealized Christian kingship, Louis XIV’s decision to end toleration of Protestantism in France becomes clearer.      It also argues that education and social reform were central in the conception and execution of this edict, and that the Revocation was part of a moment in which conversion through education appeared possible. In combining religious conversion and education in an effort to form Protestants into French Catholics, Louis XIV built upon an absolutist vision of education and connected his efforts to a flourishing debate. For the Protestant families affected by this edict, particularly the children, this approach shaped their experience of the Revocation. This study of the interaction between state and society, ideals and practices, in 1685 allows a new and more complicated understanding of Louis XIV’s kingship, the meaning of conversion in the late seventeenth century, and the place of the Revocation in French history.

description: Information Centric Architectures view content as the narrow waist of the networking  stack. This abstraction allows routing based on the content name, rather than the  network locator of the content consumer and producer. We present ContentFlow, an  Information Centric network architecture which supports content routing by mapping  the content name to a OpenFlow de ned   ow based on TCP and IP semantics. And,  thus enables the use of OpenFlow switches to achieve content routing over a legacy IP  architecture. ContentFlow is viewed as an evolutionary step between the current IP  networking architecture, and a full edged ICN architecture. It supports content man-  agement, content caching and content routing at the network layer, while using a legacy  OpenFlow infrastructure and a modi ed controller. By e ciently using the content in-  formation available in the network, ContentFlow supports e cient tra c engineering.  Also, ContentFlow is transparent from the point of view of the client and the server,  and can be inserted in between without modi cation at either end. The architecture  and implementation of ContentFlow on top of the existing OpenFlow software de ned  networking framework is described. Performance of ContentFlow is evaluated using  a prototype implementation of an enterprise SDN network with Floodlight controller  and multiple virtualized OpenFlow switches. The results show that ContentFlow does  result in reduced content access delay in comparison to a legacy architectures.

description:
BACKGROUND: Peanut allergy is characterized by the development of IgE against peanut antigen. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the evolution of epitope-specific (es)IgE and esIgG4 in a prospective cohort of high-risk infants to determine whether antibody profiles can predict peanut allergy after age 4 years. METHODS: The end point was allergy status at age 4+ years; samples from 293 children were collected at age 3 to 15 months and 2 to 3 and 4+ years. Levels of specific (s)IgE and sIgG4 to peanut and component proteins, and 50 esIgE and esIgG4 were quantified. Changes were analyzed with mixed-effects models. Machine learning algorithms were developed to identify a combination of antigen- and epitope-specific antibodies that using 3- to 15-month or 2- to 3-year samples can predict allergy status at age 4+ years. RESULTS: At age 4+ years, 38% of children were Tolerant or 14% had Possible, 8% Convincing, 24% Serologic, and 16% Confirmed allergy. At age 3 to 15 months, esIgE profiles were similar among groups, whereas marked increases were evident at age 2 and 4+ years only in Confirmed and Serologic groups. In contrast, peanut sIgE level was significantly lower in the Tolerant group at age 3 to 15 months, increased in Confirmed and Serologic groups but decreased in Convincing and Possibly Allergic groups over time. An algorithm combining esIgEs with peanut sIgE outperformed different clinically relevant IgE cutoffs, predicting allergy status on an "unseen" set of patients with area under the curves of 0.84 at age 3 to 15 months and 0.87 at age 2 to 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: Early epitope-specific plus peanut-specific IgE is predictive of allergy status at age 4+ years.

description: If California were its own country, it would have the world’s fourth largest immigrant population. It has the most immigrants in the United States (more than 10 million) and the highest share in its population (27%). The way these newcomers are integrated into the state will shape California’s schools, workforce, businesses, public health, politics, and culture. Understanding the incorporation of immigrants and their descendants and how public agencies and community-based organizations affect integration is essential for the state’s future well-being. The California Immigration Research Initiative seeks a 4-year Program Award of $583,616 to launch and sustain the most comprehensive research in California’s history to elucidate the complex processes of immigrant integration; provide analytical frameworks and applied solutions for policymakers and non-governmental organizations working on immigration-related issues; and build the capacity of the University of California as the premiere institution for immigration research in the world. The initiative will harness the strength of five UC interdisciplinary immigration studies centers. The Center for Comparative Immigration Studies (CCIS) at UCSD will host the initiative in coordination with the UCLA Program on International Migration, Center for Research on Immigration Population and Public Policy at UCI, Center for Latino Policy Research at UCB, and Immigration Research Group at UCR. Affiliated faculty and graduate students are drawn from sociology, political science, public health, economics, public policy, geography, history, law, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, psychology, and education. Principal research activities include: 1) Collaboration with the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) based at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research will allow an unprecedented assessment of the integration of diverse groups over multiple immigrant generations by adding questions to the existing survey of 50,000. 2) A second survey, the Pilot California Immigration Panel Survey, will assess the feasibility of doing a much larger, longitudinal survey that draws on the CHIS sampling frame to understand a wider array of outcomes among California’s immigrant population. 3) An assessment of how policymakers and civil society are addressing the integration of immigrants will be carried out using experiments and qualitative interviews.

Assessing a model of moderated race concepts
Creators: name: Chavez, George F.

description: The psychological study of race has experienced a recent surge of interest in the lay beliefs that individuals hold about the nature of race.  In the following paper, I propose a moderated race concepts model, where the effect of race concepts on race-relevant attitudes is moderated by race concept certainty (RCC)—the extent to which an individual is certain in their beliefs about race.  Drawing on the attitude strength literature, I develop a measure of RCC in three studies.  In the first set of studies, I use a diverse online sample to reduce the number of items (from 25 to 8; Study 1a) and use an undergraduate sample to explore the factor structure of the reduced scale (2 factors; Study 1b).  Results from Study 2 confirm that the eight item measure of RCC has 2 factors: Personal and epistemic certainty.  Contrary to hypotheses, concept certainty did not moderate the effect of race concepts on measures of racial attitudes (Study 3). However, concept certainty was reliably associated with biological (positively) and social-constructivist (negatively) race concepts across all but the final study.  I review the limitations of the correlational test of the expected moderation effect and possible methods for independently manipulating the components of RCC.  I discuss the possibility that the RCC scale assesses a factor without parallels to attitude strength.

description: The growth of normal breast cells is tightly controlled growth by synchronized messages that promote growth and messages or processes which discourage growth. The messages which promote growth come from outside the cell in the form of protein growth hormones such as the one called EGF. EGF binds to the surface of cells by attaching to "EGF Receptor" molecules called "EGFR." The complex of hormone and receptor is then carried inside the cell where the two molecules are separated and a decision is made regarding whether the EGFR will be degraded or degraded to the cell surface.

 The messages or processes which discourage or prohibit growth are less well known. However, progress has been made in this lab with the discovery of a group of proteins called the "sorting nexins" (SNX). These proteins appear to be responsible for the decision regarding whether the EGFR molecule is degraded or recycled to the cell surface.

 Breast cancer cells have an excessive concentration of EGFR on their surfaces. It is not known why this is so or how it affects the dysfunctional growth which occurs in breast cancer; however, the SNX are likely to be involved. The excessive EGFR can bind an excessive number of molecules of the growth factor EGF. It may be that this excessive dose of growth factor is critical to tumor growth.

 This project will: (1) analyze the structure of the portions of SNX which are responsible for its function in sorting the EGFR molecules to degradation or recycling; (2) isolate and evaluate the SNX molecule for sorting activity for other growth factors; (3) test whether increased SNX will inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells; (4) study how SNX functions in the cells by learning in which pathways it participates. These studies address the pathogenesis priority of the BCRP. In addition, the SNX functional pathway may provide a very effective point for intervention in breast cancer tumor growth.

description: The National Ignition Facility (NIF) produces a high energy density plasma (HEDP) environment with conditions similar to those found in stellar interiors and neutron fluences orders of magnitude higher. This combination of conditions enables a new class of experimental nuclear-plasma physics. In this regime reactions occur not only on nuclear ground states, but also on short-lived excited states populated by both the strong force (via interactions with neutrons) and by electromagnetic interactions (via photon and electron-induced nuclear-plasma interactions). Detection of these reactions in the HEDP environment at the NIF requires new detector system development and approaches. Our first approach will combine two successful existing diagnostics (activation and solid debris collection) with in situ gamma ray detectors. We will measure differences between neutron-induced nuclear reactions on the same materials located both inside and outside of the compressed NIF capsule. Detector development will take place at unique LLNL facilities including NIF and the JANUS and TITAN lasers. Simultaneously, we will perform the first-ever measurements of nuclear-plasma interactions as part of an international collaboration at accelerator and laser facilities including the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester and the GSI laboratory in Darmstadt, Germany. A centerpiece of this proposal is the introduction of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from the U.C. Berkeley Nuclear Engineering department to the emergent field of HED nuclear science, including teaching a class in HED science at U.C. Berkeley. On-campus facilities in Etcheverry Hall will be used to develop diagnostics and perform neutron irradiation experiments parallel to the development of a new neutron source. Two P.I.s (Bleuel, Kritcher) are UCB-NE graduates, well acquainted with the graduate program. This work will help prepare a major Academic Alliance proposal to DOE-NNSA for basic Nuclear Physics research at NIF.
