Health effects of rehabilitation and reintroduction in Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii)
Creators: name: Ballare, Elizabeth Fern
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus spp.) are often rescued diseased, malnourished, and/or injured, and although the protection of existing populations and their forest habitats is paramount, there remains the need to house and care for individuals under immediate threat. This need grows annually as less suitable forest remains into which to reintroduce healthy individuals, and more rescued individuals are being deemed ‘unreleasable’ due to trauma, maiming, or chronic illness. Thus, rehabilitation and reintroduction have become primary components of species’ survival. These programs spend millions of dollars on medical intervention, care, release, and observation, yet we know very little about how the overall health of these animals varies during the rehabilitation and release process or about the long-term effects on fitness. Numerous studies of wild orangutan populations have laid the groundwork for sufficient pre- and post-release examination. However, surprisingly few studies have examined orangutan health while in rehabilitation centers, and even fewer have monitored their progress once released. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the health of rehabilitant and reintroduced central Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) at the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF) Nyaru Menteng Rehabilitation Center and at Bukit Batikap Reintroduction Forest and, then, compare these populations with data collected from a long-term study of a wild P.p. wurmbii population at the Tuanan Orangutan Research Station. Specifically, I assess protein balance, energy balance, inflammation, and immune-system response using non-invasively collected urinary urea, C-peptide of insulin, cortisol, ketone bodies, neopterin, and cytokines. In Chapter Two, I review the complicated history of orangutan conservation, rehabilitation, and reintroduction. I find that despite past failures and current criticisms, there is progress being made in the field of orangutan rehabilitation and reintroduction. Further collaboration and transparency are needed, and I suggest the field of conservation physiology as a means to achieve this. In Chapters Three and Four I show how existing physiological methodologies can be used to assess the health of rehabilitant and reintroduced orangutans and additionally used to make recommendations in program protocols. I show how, collectively, physiological evidence provides valuable information and should be a primary consideration when making policy decisions.

description: Optical phase change materials (O-PCMs), a unique group of materials featuring drastic optical property contrast upon solid-state phase transition, have found widespread adoption in photonic switches and routers, reconfigurable meta-optics, reflective display, and optical neuromorphic computers. Current phase change materials, such as Ge-Sb-Te (GST), exhibit large contrast of both refractive index (delta n) and optical loss (delta k), simultaneously. The coupling of both optical properties fundamentally limits the function and performance of many potential applications. In this article, we introduce a new class of O-PCMs, Ge-Sb-Se-Te (GSST) which breaks this traditional coupling, as demonstrated with an optical figure of merit improvement of more than two orders of magnitude. The first-principle computationally optimized alloy, Ge2Sb2Se4Te1, combines broadband low optical loss (1-18.5 micron), large optical contrast (delta n = 2.0), and significantly improved glass forming ability, enabling an entirely new field of infrared and thermal photonic devices. We further leverage the material to demonstrate nonvolatile integrated optical switches with record low loss and large contrast ratio, as well as an electrically addressed, microsecond switched pixel level spatial light modulator, thereby validating its promise as a platform material for scalable nonvolatile photonics.

description: With the recent discovery that many aspects of black hole thermodynamics can be effectively reduced to problems in three spacetime dimensions, it has become increasingly important to understand the ``statistical mechanics'' of the (2+1)-dimensional black hole of Banados, Teitelboim, and Zanelli (BTZ). Several conformal field theoretic derivations of the BTZ entropy exist, but none is completely satisfactory, and many questions remain open: there is no consensus as to what fields provide the relevant degrees of freedom or where these excitations live. In this paper, I review some of the unresolved problems and suggest avenues for their solution.

description: The polarization tensor of graphene derived in the framework of the Dirac model using the methods of thermal quantum field theory in (2+1) dimensions is recast in a mathematically equivalent but more compact and convenient in computations form along the real frequency axis. The obtained unified expressions for the components of the polarization tensor are equally applicable in the regions of the on- and off-the-mass-shell electromagnetic waves. The advantages of the presented formalism are demonstrated on the example of nonequilibrium Casimir force in the configuration of two parallel graphene-coated dielectric plates one of which is either hotter or colder than the environment. This force is investigated as a function of temperature, the energy gap, and chemical potential of graphene coatings with account of the effects of spatial dispersion. Besides the thermodynamically nonequilibrium Casimir and Casimir-Polder forces, the obtained form of the polarization tensor can be useful for investigation of many diverse physical phenomena in graphene systems, such as surface plasmons, reflectances, electrical conductivity, radiation heat transfer, etc.

description: As the use of machine learning (ML) models is becoming increasingly popular in many real-world applications, there are practical challenges that need to be addressed for model maintenance. One such challenge is to 'undo' the effect of a specific subset of dataset used for training a model. This specific subset may contain malicious or adversarial data injected by an attacker, which affects the model performance. Another reason may be the need for a service provider to remove data pertaining to a specific user to respect the user's privacy. In both cases, the problem is to 'unlearn' a specific subset of the training data from a trained model without incurring the costly procedure of retraining the whole model from scratch. Towards this goal, this paper presents a Markov chain Monte Carlo-based machine unlearning (MCU) algorithm. MCU helps to effectively and efficiently unlearn a trained model from subsets of training dataset. Furthermore, we show that with MCU, we are able to explain the effect of a subset of a training dataset on the model prediction. Thus, MCU is useful for examining subsets of data to identify the adversarial data to be removed. Similarly, MCU can be used to erase the lineage of a user's personal data from trained ML models, thus upholding a user's "right to be forgotten". We empirically evaluate the performance of our proposed MCU algorithm on real-world phishing and diabetes datasets. Results show that MCU can achieve a desirable performance by efficiently removing the effect of a subset of training dataset and outperform an existing algorithm that utilizes the remaining dataset.

Stationary Navier-Stokes equations in an exterior domain, and some integral identities for Euler and Navier-Stokes equations
Creators: name: Bang, Jeaheang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: We study: 1) the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional exterior domain, 2) some integral identities for the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations. For the first topic, we consider the non-homogenous boundary value problem in a two-dimensional exterior domain together with a prescribed condition at infinity and establish existence of a solution to the problem provided that the boundary value on the boundary of the domain is close to a potential flow; this assumption allows some large boundary value. Indeed, we utilize results of Galdi in 2004 on the Oseen equations, a linearization around a constant nonzero vector. Then we apply ideas used in Russo and Starita's work (in 2008) in three dimension, which is to perturb around a potential flow; in conjunction with the compactness of some linear operator related to the Oseen equations, which is a result again of Galdi in 2004. For the second topic, Dobrokhotov and Shafarevich in 1994 proved some integral identities for the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. Chae in 2012 proved these integral identities on a hyperplane for a weak solution with some integrability assumptions on the solution. In this thesis, we prove the integral identities on a hyperplane with some different integrability assumptions. It also furnishes a Liouville type theorem as an immediate application, providing a different approach to some of the results of Hamel and Nadirashvili in 2017, 2019, Chae and Constantin in 2015.

Implementation of a genetic testing stewardship program in a pediatric hospital setting
Creators: name: Barbarese, Alexandra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Genetic testing and genetic counseling are crucial components of the growing Precision Medicine initiative in healthcare. It has been established that the implementation of utilization management programs that include genetic counselors in laboratory settings has contributed to improved outcomes (Mathias et al., 2016; Miller et al., 2014; Riley, Procop, Kottke-Marchant, Wyllie, & Lacbawan, 2015). This study aims to assess a novel Genetic Testing Stewardship Program (GTSP) in a clinical pediatric setting, and its financial and clinical effects. A retrospective analysis of a clinical database maintained by genetic counselors in the GTSP was performed to determine the impact and outcome of 460 consults placed for genetic testing and counseling between January 1st, 2019 and December 31st, 2019. An overall cost savings was estimated to be $470,568. The GTSP influenced testing outcomes of 187 (40.7%) cases through adjustment of test requests. They also provided additional services to consulting providers with regards to several aspects of the genetic testing process. Data regarding provider experiences with the program was collected via a survey of providers who consulted the GTSP in 2019. We analyzed responses from 46 provider surveys and determined a significant difference in comfort levels with aspects of genetic testing and counseling with and without the use of the program. These results suggest that the implementation of the GTSP resulted in measurable institutional cost savings for genetic testing and an improvement in clinical patient care as perceived by providers using the service.

description: Nonradiating sources are nontrivial charge-current distributions that do not generate fields outside the source domain. The pursuit of their possible existence has fascinated several generations of physicists and triggered developments in various branches of science ranging from medical imaging to dark matter. Recently, one of the most fundamental types of nonradiating sources, named anapole states, has been realized in nanophotonics regime and soon spurred considerable research efforts and widespread interest. A series of astounding advances have been achieved within a very short period of time, uncovering the great potential of anapole states in many aspects such as lasing, sensing, metamaterials, and nonlinear optics. In this review, we provide a detailed account of anapole states in nanophotonics research, encompassing their basic concepts, historical origins, and new physical effects. We discuss the recent research frontiers in understanding and employing optical anapoles and provide an outlook for this vibrant field of research.

description: We study the preheating scenario in Generalized Einstein Theories, considering a class of such theories which are conformally equivalent to those of an extra field with a modified potential in the Einstein frame. Resonant creation of bosons from oscillating inflaton has been studied before in the context of general relativity taking also into account the effect of metric perturbations in linearized gravity. As a natural generalization we include the dilatonic/Brans-Dicke field without any potential of its own and in particular we study the linear theory of perturbations including the metric perturbations in the longitudinal gauge. We show that there is an amplification of the perturbations in the dilaton/Brans-Dicke field on super-horizon scales (k -> 0) due to the fluctuations in metric, thus leading to an oscillating Newton's constant with very high frequency within the horizon and with growing amplitude outside the horizon. We briefly mention the entropy perturbations generated by such fluctuations and also mention that there is a possibility to excite the Kaluza-Klein modes in the theories where the dilatonic/Brans-Dicke field is interpreted as a homogeneous field appearing due to the dimensional reduction from the higher dimensional theories.

'They say that we are from africa': race, slavery, and Haratin nationalists in 20th century colonial Morocco
Creators: name: Bedward, Moyagaye
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: They say that we are from Africa examines how changes in patron-client status and land ownership among the Atta tribe and the Haratin community, from the late 19th century up until the end of the French Protectorate in 1956, shed light on how and why the Haratin became racialized figures as “black” and “African.” By centering the Haratin within 20th century Moroccan history I offer three major interventions. First, I refute Haratin slave ancestry in the Anti-Atlas by establishing their economic power in the pre-colonial period. Second, I establish their contributions to the nationalist struggle in northern urban centers such as Casablanca; and more importantly, I demonstrate their role in extending the nationalist struggle into heretofore provincialized southern rural communities such as Zagora and Tata. Third, I demonstrate the emergence of a revisionist post-colonial racial discourse creating exclusionary, marginal, identities for the Haratin, which obscured conflicts over land resources. This key point makes clear the role of decolonial movements in producing an othered, “African” identity, which contributes to exclusion from the nation in Morocco and more broadly, North Africa.

description: Near a bifurcation point, the response time of a system is expected to diverge due to the phenomenon of critical slowing down. We investigate critical slowing down in well-mixed stochastic models of biochemical feedback by exploiting a mapping to the mean-field Ising universality class. This mapping allows us to quantify critical slowing down in experiments where we measure the response of T cells to drugs. Specifically, the addition of a drug is equivalent to a sudden quench in parameter space, and we find that quenches that take the cell closer to its critical point result in slower responses. We further demonstrate that our class of biochemical feedback models exhibits the Kibble-Zurek collapse for continuously driven systems, which predicts the scaling of hysteresis in cellular responses to more gradual perturbations. We discuss the implications of our results in terms of the tradeoff between a precise and a fast response.

description: We develop a method to efficiently construct phase diagrams using machine learning. Uncertainty sampling (US) in active learning is utilized to intensively sample around phase boundaries. Here, we demonstrate constructions of three known experimental phase diagrams by the US approach. Compared with random sampling, the US approach decreases the number of sampling points to about 20%. In particular, the reduction rate is pronounced in more complicated phase diagrams. Furthermore, we show that using the US approach, undetected new phase can be rapidly found, and smaller number of initial sampling points are sufficient. Thus, we conclude that the US approach is useful to construct complicated phase diagrams from scratch and will be an essential tool in materials science.

description: This study is the first to explore the essential oil of Ononis angustissima Lam. subsp. filifolia Murb., a subspecies growing in the Algerian northeastern Sahara. The chemical composition was evaluated by GC/GC-EIMS. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using two methods. Thirty-four (91.6%) individual components were identified. The main constituents were linalool (12.6%), hexahydrofarnesylacetone (8.4%), β-eudesmol (6.6%), α-cadinol (6.4%) and T-cadinol (6.1%). The findings provide a chemical basis for understanding relationships between North African subspecies, supporting botanical and genetic classification. The oil exhibited moderate scavenging activity against DPPH radicals (IC50 = 102.30 µg/ml) and high activity in the β-carotene bleaching assay (91.346%). Antimicrobial tests revealed effectiveness against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and ATCC 43300), limited impact on Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922), and good inhibition against Aspergillus niger and Scedosporium apiospermum. A notable larvicidal activity was observed against Date Moth, particularly on L2 larvae.

description: Microplastics (MP) have been proposed as a vector for pathogenic microorganisms in the freshwater environment. The objectives of the first study were (1) to compare the fecal indicator growth in biofilms on MP and material control microparticles incubated in different wastewater fractions and (2) to compare MP biofilm, natural microparticle biofilm, and planktonic cell susceptibility to disinfection by peracetic acid (PAA). Biofilms were grown on high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene MP or wood chips (as a material control) and incubated in either wastewater influent or pre-disinfection secondary effluent. Reactors were disinfected with PAA, biofilms were dislodged, and fecal coliform and E. coli were cultivated. Fecal indicators were quantifiable in both MP and wood biofilms incubated in the wastewater influent but only on the wood biofilms incubated in secondary wastewater effluent. More fecal coliform grew in the wood biofilms than MP biofilms, and the biofilms grown on MP and woodchips were more resistant to disinfection than planktonic bacteria. Thus, it may be possible to refer to the disinfection literature for fecal indicators in biofilm on other particles to predict behavior on MP. Treatments that remove particles in general would help reduce the potential for fecal indicator bypass of disinfection. The investigation detailed above was published in the March 2021 issue of WER. The second part of the thesis consists of an investigation of microplastics in stormwater:Microplastics (MP) are a commonly reported pollutant in the freshwater, marine, and soil environment. The objectives of the second study were to determine (1) the microplastic concentration, (2) polymer fingerprints and (3) inter-storm variation of MP in two stormwater outfalls and a bioretention basin. Water samples were collected during rain events over the summer and fall of 2020 and MP content analyzed with ATR-FTIR. nMDS analysis was performed on polymer fingerprints and significant differences were observed in MP composition between sites. In addition, significant differences in MP concentration existed between sites as well. A negative correlation was observed between MP concentration and cumulative rainfall. Evidence of MP accumulation in green infrastructure was noted. When designing stormwater management systems, the removal of MP and other particulate matter must be considered to optimize receiving water quality.
Hegel and the Object, Or, the Idea's Constipation

description: One of the standard motifs of the pseudo-Freudian dismissal of Hegel is to characterize his System as the highest and most over-blown expres­sion of oral economy: is the Hegelian Idea not a voracious eater which "swallows" every object it stumbles upon? As Hegel likes to point out, however, we can only grasp the object if this object itself already "wants to be with/by us." The standard critical reading constructs the Hegelian absolute Substance-Subject as thoroughly constipated - keeping in itself the swallowed content. But what about the counter-movement, the Hegelian shitting, excrementation? Is the subject of what Hegel calls "ab­solute Knowing" not also a thoroughly emptied subject, a subject reduced to the role of pure observer of the self-movement of the content itself?

description: The non-volatile Particle Number (PN) emissions of late technology diesel Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDV) are very low due to the introduction of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Nevertheless, a large fraction (50%) of particles below the current lower regulated size (23 nm) was recently reported. Moreover, large differences between laboratory and PN Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PN-PEMS) have been observed. In order to better understand such differences, the physical properties of the exhaust aerosol from two Euro VI technology diesel heavy duty engines were studied. It was found that urea injection leads to formation of non-volatile particles. The produced particles covered a wide size range spanning from below 10 nm to above 100 nm. As such, they contribute to the regulated PN emissions, with measured concentrations corresponding to as high as 2 × 1011 #/kWh over a World Harmonized Transient Cycle (WHTC). However, a large fraction of them was undetected owing to their small particle size. Low-cut off size (10 nm) Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) (which are under discussion to be included in the regulations) measured up to twice as high concentrations. Considering the large particle losses in the sampling systems at this size range, the true concentrations can be two times higher from what the low-cut-off CPCs reported. When the temperature of the SCR system exceeded a threshold of 300 °C, the produced particles were found to be positively charged, increasing the average exhaust aerosol charge up to +3 elementary charges per particle. Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) measurements of non-neutralized samples revealed that even the smallest of them can carry more than one positive charges. The findings of this study can explain the differences reported between PEMS and laboratory systems and especially those based on diffusion charging. They also provide insight for a refinement of technical requirements prescribed in the European PEMS regulation to more accurately quantify the PN emissions from such technologies.

Scarred Patterns in Surface Waves

description: Surface wave patterns are investigated experimentally in a system geometry that has become a paradigm of quantum chaos: the stadium billiard. Linear waves in bounded geometries for which classical ray trajectories are chaotic are known to give rise to scarred patterns. Here, we utilize parametrically forced surface waves (Faraday waves), which become progressively nonlinear beyond the wave instability threshold, to investigate the subtle interplay between boundaries and nonlinearity. Only a subset (three main types) of the computed linear modes of the stadium are observed in a systematic scan. These correspond to modes in which the wave amplitudes are strongly enhanced along paths corresponding to certain periodic ray orbits. Many other modes are found to be suppressed, in general agreement with a prediction by Agam and Altshuler based on boundary dissipation and the Lyapunov exponent of the associated orbit. Spatially asymmetric or disordered (but time-independent) patterns are also found even near onset. As the driving acceleration is increased, the time-independent scarred patterns persist, but in some cases transitions between modes are noted. The onset of spatiotemporal chaos at higher forcing amplitude often involves a nonperiodic oscillation between spatially ordered and disordered states. We characterize this phenomenon using the concept of pattern entropy. The rate of change of the patterns is found to be reduced as the state passes temporarily near the ordered configurations of lower entropy. We also report complex but highly symmetric (time-independent) patterns far above onset in the regime that is normally chaotic.

Representations of world coordinates in FITS

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The initial descriptions of the FITS format provided a simplified method for describing the physical coordinate values of the image pixels, but deliberately did not specify any of the detailed conventions required to convey the complexities of actual image coordinates. Building on conventions in wide use within astronomy, this paper proposes general extensions to the original methods for describing the world coordinates of FITS data. In subsequent papers, we apply these general conventions to the methods by which spherical coordinates may be projected onto a two-dimensional plane and to frequency/wavelength/velocity coordinates.
