description: Fused deposition modeling (FDM) represents one of the most common techniques for rapid proto-typing in additive manufacturing (AM). This work applies image based thermography to monitor the FDM process in-situ. The nozzle temperature, print speed and print orientation were adjusted during the fabrication process of each specimen.Experimental and numerical analysis were performed on the fabricated specimens. The combination of the layer wise temperature profile plot and temporal plot provide insightsfor specimens fabricated in x, y and z-axis orientation. For the x-axis orientation build possessing 35 layers, Specimens B16 and B7 printed with nozzle temperature of 225 ➦C and235 ➦C respectively, and at printing speed of 60 mm/s and 100 mm/s respectively with the former possessing the highest modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength. For the y-axis orientation build possessing 59 layers, Specimens B23, B14 and B8 printed with nozzle temperature of 215°C, 225°C and 235°C respectively, and at printing speed of 80 mm/s, 80 mm/s and 60 mm/s respectively with the former possessing the highest modulus and yield strength, while the latter the highest ultimate tensile strength. For the z-axis orientation build possessing 1256 layers, Specimens B6, B24 and B9 printed with nozzle temperature of 235°C, 235°C and 235°C respectively, and at printing speed of 80 mm/s, 80 mm/s and 60 mm/s respectively with the former possessing the highest modulus and ultimate tensile strength, while B24 had the highest yield strength and B9 the lowest modulus, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. The results show that the prints oriented in the y-axis orientation perform relatively better than prints in the x-axis and z-axis orientation.

description: Exposure of B. pfeifferi to metacercariae
 E. caproni cercariae rarely penetrate B. pfeifferi through their external shells. Instead, they mostly infect the snails through the epithelial tissue of their mantle collars. Generally, cercariae penetrate snails directly from their mantle cavity, which they infiltrate through the pneumostome. They can also penetrate the dorsal part of a snail through the epithelial tissue, but most of the time they move from the mantle cavity to the kidney via the excretory pore. Some cercariae start encysting here, but most of them migrate into the pericardial cavity through the renopericardial canal. This is where the majority of metacercariae localize.
 Before penetrating a snail host, cercariae tend todiscardtheirtailsandmovebyrapidlycontracting their bodies (Fig. 1: C). We have encountered only one case of a cercariae retaining its tail even after penetration. (Ataev 2010). During the encystment, the body of a cercariae twists on its ventral side and then quickly gets covered with a three-layer cyst wall formed by the secretion of cystogenous glands. The entire encystment process takes no more than 4 hours.
 Afterwards, metacercariae get encapsulated in hemocyte capsules (Fig. 1: D). Hemocyte also creates a fibrous tissue, which makes separate cysts stick together into large conglomerations. Metacercariae have a spherical form with a diameter of 155 ± 1.9 mcm (n = 100). At first, the outer wall of metacercariae is transparent, but turns opaque after a week. These metacercariae are infective and stay that way for more than a month. Larvae start dying 50 days after. Their size shrinks by half and the surface of their capsule gets loose. Thus, our results did not confirm the findings of N. O. Christensen et al. (1980) who determined the lifespan of metacercariae as 4 months.

MODELING OF INDUSTRIAL AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEM ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS ENERGY SAVING ON THE SYSTEM
Creators: name: Ayoub, Abdul Hadi
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The purpose of this research is to analyze the overall energy consumption of an industrial compressed air system, and identify the impact of various energy saving of individual subsystem on the overall system. Two parameters are introduced for energy consumption evaluation and potential energy saving: energy efficiency (e) and process effectiveness (n). An analytical energy model for air compression of the overall system was created taking into consideration the modeling of individual sub-system components: air compressor, after-cooler, filter, dryer and receiver. The analytical energy model for each subsystem included energy consumption evolution using thetheoretical thermodynamic approach. Furthermore, pressure loss models of individual components along with pipe friction loss were included in the system overall efficiency calculation.The efficiency analysis methods and effectiveness approach discussed in this study were used to optimize energy consumption and quantify energy savings. The methodwas tested through a case study on a plant of a die-casting manufacturing company. The experimental system efficiency was 76.2% vs. 89.3% theoretical efficiency. This showed model uncertainty at ~15%. The effectiveness of reducing the set pressure increases as the difference in pressure increase. The effectiveness of using outside air forcompressors intake is close to the compressors work reduction percentage. However, it becomes more effective when the temperature difference increase. This is mainly due to extra heat loss. There is potential room of improvement of the various component using the efficiency and effectiveness methods. These components include compressor, intercooler and dryer. Temperature is a crucial parameter that determines the energy consumption applied by these components. If optimum temperature can be determined, plenty of energy savings will be realized.

Paterian Cosmopolitanism: Euphuism, Negativity, and Genre in Marius the Epicurean
Creators: name: Friedman, Dustin
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Cosmopolitanism

description: In this essay, I argue that Walter Pater’s description of "Euphuism" in Marius the Epicurean (1885) relies upon the insights of idealist philosophy in order to articulate a theory of what Rebecca Walkowitz calls “cosmopolitan style.” Specifically, Pater draws upon a disparate number of cultural discourses in his articulation of Euphuism while simultaneously subjecting those discourses to an intensely self-reflexive process of questioning and scrutiny, performing what G. W. F. Hegel famously called “the labor of the negative” upon his own theory of literary style. By doing so, Paterian Euphuism fundamentally disrupts the logic that underlies any cultural category that threatens to become solidified or essentialized. In Marius, these categories not only include Arnold and Tylor’s racial thinking, but also the literary form of the historical novel.

description: Depth estimation is one of the most important problems in computer vision. It has attracted a lot of attention because it has applications in many areas, such as robotics, VR and AR, self-driving cars etc. Using the defocus blur of a camera lens is one of the methods of depth estimation. In this thesis, we have researched this technique in virtual environments. Virtual datasets have been created for this purpose. In this research, we have applied graph cuts and convolutional neural network (DfD-net) to estimate depth from defocus blur using a natural (Middlebury) and a virtual (Maya) dataset. Graph Cuts showed similar performance for both natural and virtual datasets in terms of NMAE and NRMSE. However, with regard to SSIM, the performance of graph cuts is 4% better for Middlebury compared to Maya. We have trained the DfD-net using the natural and the virtual dataset and then combining both datasets. The network trained by the virtual dataset performed best for both datasets. The performance of graph-cuts and DfD-net have been compared. Graph-Cuts performance is 7% better than DfD-Net in terms of SSIM for Middlebury images. For Maya images, DfD-Net outperforms Graph-Cuts by 2%. With regard to NRMSE, Graph-Cuts and DfD-net shows similar performance for Maya images. For Middlebury images, Graph-cuts is 1.8% better. The algorithms show no difference in performance in terms of NMAE. The time DfD-net takes to generate depth maps compared to graph cuts is 500 times less for Maya images and 200 times less for Middlebury images.

description: The compressed air system is widely used throughout the industry. Air compressors are one of the most costly systems to operate in industrial plants in therms of energy consumption. Therefore, it becomes one of the primary target when it comes to electrical energy and load management practices. Load forecasting is the first step in developing energy management systems both on the supply and user side. A comprehensive literature review has been conducted, and there was a need to study if predicting compressed air system’s load is a possibility.
System’s load profile will be valuable to the industry practitioners as well as related software providers in developing better practice and tools for load management and look-ahead scheduling programs. Feed forward neural networks (FFNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) techniques have been used to perform 15 minutes ahead prediction. Three cases of different sizes and control methods have been studied. The results proved the possibility of the forecast. In this study two control methods have been developed by using the prediction. The first control method is designed for variable speed driven air compressors. The goal was to decrease the maximum electrical load for the air compressor by using the system's full operational capabilities and the air receiver tank. This goal has been achieved by optimizing the system operation and developing a practical control method. The results can be used to decrease the maximum electrical load consumed by the system as well as assuring the sufficient air for the users during the peak compressed air demand by users. This method can also prevent backup or secondary systems from running during the peak compressed air demand which can result in more energy and demand savings. Load management plays a pivotal role and developing maximum load reduction methods by users can result in more sustainability as well as the cost reduction for developing sustainable energy production sources. The last part of this research is concentrated on reducing the energy consumed by load/unload controlled air compressors. Two novel control methods have been introduced. One method uses the prediction as input, and the other one doesn't require prediction. Both of them resulted in energy consumption reduction by increasing the off period with the same compressed air output or in other words without sacrificing the required compressed air needed for production.

description: The key challenge during food-borne disease outbreaks, e.g. the 2011 EHEC/HUS outbreak in Germany, is the design of efficient mitigation strategies based on a timely identification of the outbreak’s spatial origin. Standard public health procedures typically use case-control studies and tracings along food shipping chains. These methods are time-consuming and suffer from biased data collected slowly in patient interviews. Here we apply a recently developed, network-theoretical method to identify the spatial origin of food-borne disease outbreaks. Thereby, the network captures the transportation routes of contaminated foods. The technique only requires spatial information on case reports regularly collected by public health institutions and a model for the underlying food distribution network. The approach is based on the idea of replacing the conventional geographic distance with an effective distance that is derived from the topological structure of the underlying food distribution network. We show that this approach can efficiently identify most probable epicenters of food-borne disease outbreaks. We assess and discuss the method in the context of the 2011 EHEC epidemic. Based on plausible assumptions on the structure of the national food distribution network, the approach can correctly localize the origin of the 2011 German EHEC/HUS outbreak.
Parametric Cooling and Itinerant Ferromagnetism in a Degenerate Fermi Gas

description: Presented in this thesis is the construction of an apparatus to produce optically trapped 6Li atoms in the two lowest hyperfine states, the observation of cooling the trapped atoms by parametric excitation, and a study on the searching for itinerant ferromagnetism in a two-dimensional Fermi gas. In the parametric cooling experiment, a technique is developed to cool a cold atomic Fermi gas by parametrically driving atomic motions in a crossed-beam optical dipole trap. This method employs the anharmonicity of the optical dipole trap, in which the hotter atoms at the edge of the trap feel the anharmonic components of the trapping potential, while the colder atoms in the center of the trap feel the harmonic one. By modulating the trap depth with frequencies that are resonant with the anharmonic components, hotter atoms are selectively excited out of the trap while keeping the colder atoms in the trap, generating a cooling effect. An analytical study of itinerant ferromagnetism in a two-dimensional atomic Fermi gas is presented, based on the past experiments done with three-dimensional Fermi gases. Here, the formation of repulsive polarons in a strongly-interacting Fermi gas is used as an initial condition.Then the observation of itinerant ferromagnetism is realized by detection of ferromagnetic domains in the two-dimensional gas. Additionally, an experiment and simulation is performed on the effect of velocity-changing collisions on the absolute absorption of 6Li vapor in an Ar buffer gas. The dependence of probe beam absorption is observed by variation of beam intensity and spatial evolution. The simulation of an effective three-level energy model with velocity-changing collisions determines a collision rate that agrees with transmission data collected.

description: The emergence of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in the eastern Mediterranean and imported cases to Europe has alerted public health authorities. Currently, detection of MERS-CoV in patient samples is done by real-time RT-PCR. Samples collected from suspected cases are sent to highly-equipped centralized laboratories for screening. A rapid point-of-care test is needed to allow more widespread mobile detection of the virus directly from patient material. In this study, we describe the development of a reverse transcription isothermal Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RT-RPA) assay for the identification of MERS-CoV. A partial nucleocapsid gene RNA molecular standard of MERS-coronavirus was used to determine the assay sensitivity. The isothermal (42°C) MERS-CoV RT-RPA was as sensitive as real-time RT-PCR (10 RNA molecules), rapid (3-7 minutes) and mobile (using tubescanner weighing 1kg). The MERS-CoV RT-RPA showed cross-detection neither of any of the RNAs of several coronaviruses and respiratory viruses affecting humans nor of the human genome. The developed isothermal real-time RT-RPA is ideal for rapid mobile molecular MERS-CoV monitoring in acute patients and may also facilitate the search for the animal reservoir of MERS-CoV.

description: Deficits in impulse control and decision-making have been implicated in the development and maintenance of alcohol use disorders (AUDs). Individuals with AUD often make disadvantageous choices under conditions of probabilistic risk. The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is often used to measure risky decision-making, in which impaired individuals tend to favor large, infrequent rewards even when punished for these choices, rather than smaller, safer, and more advantageous rewards. It remains poorly understood if these deficits are behaviors under genetic control and if ethanol intoxication may alter decision-making. High and Low Alcohol Preferring (HAP3 and LAP3, respectively) mice were trained on a novel gambling task to investigate these possible influences. In Experiment 1, HAP3s and LAP3s responded for a 0.1% saccharin solution, choosing between a risky and a safe option. Importantly, choosing the risky option was meant to be ultimately disadvantageous. In Experiment 2, these same HAP3 mice responded for saccharin or saccharin plus 10% ethanol. Contrary to hypothesis, LAP3s preferred the risky option more than HAP3s. Alcohol increased preference for the risky lever, but only in male mice. HAP3 preference for the safe lever may be explained by higher motivation to obtain sweet rewards, or higher overall avidity for responding. Ethanol-induced changes in male risk behavior may be explained by higher androgen levels, but further investigation is required. Similarly, continued research is necessary to optimize a risky decision-making task for both lines, and thus investigate possible genetic differences in risk acceptance that correlate with differences in alcohol intake.

description: Due to Ireland’s secluded geographical location, its genetic structure is a popular topic of study. The indigenous inhabitants of Ireland remained undisturbed for a long period time, allowing for a distinct genetic population to be created. This peace was disrupted by conflict with invading forces, such as the Nordic Vikings and Anglo-Norman forces. However, these historical events helped to shape both the culture of Ireland and the ancestry seen in the Irish population today. In Ireland, quite like many countries around the world, the male’s surname is passed from father to son, just as the Y-chromosome. The relationship between Irish surnames and their corresponding Y-haplogroups was examined to determine if common and rare Irish surnames can be genetically linked to the historical invasions listed above. The surnames chosen for this study were selected based on their prevalence in Ireland, rare or common, and their proposed historical origin, Irish, Norse or British. To discover any possible patterns in surnames and Y-chromosomal DNA, Y-haplogroups were generated from the DNA of 630 Irish male subjects using an assay specifically developed for the region. The assay contains twenty single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were selected to further resolve the R1b-L21 Y-haplogroup for Irish ancestry, the most prevalent haplogroup in Western Europe, and Ireland in particular. Additional Y-STR data was also generated to examine recent surname history within the collected individuals. Each surname was examined to determine whether one haplogroup occurred more frequently and with this method, distinct patterns in Irish surnames and geographical locations were discovered. In addition to resolving Y-surname history patterns, it is also believed that this assay may be beneficial in determining if an unknown DNA sample is of Western European origin and even in some cases, if a more specific Irish origin can be predicted.

description: Infection with influenza virus can result in massive pulmonary infiltration and potentially fatal immunopathology. Understanding the endogenous mechanisms that control immunopathology could provide a key to novel adjunct therapies for this disease. Here we show that the cytokine IL-27 plays a crucial role in protection from exaggerated inflammation during influenza virus infection. Using Il-27ra−/− mice, IL-27 was found to limit immunopathology, neutrophil accumulation, and dampened TH1 or TH17 responses via IL-10–dependent and -independent pathways. Accordingly, the absence of IL-27 signals resulted in a more severe disease course and in diminished survival without impacting viral loads. Consistent with the delayed expression of endogenous Il-27p28 during influenza, systemic treatment with recombinant IL-27 starting at the peak of virus load resulted in a major amelioration of lung pathology, strongly reduced leukocyte infiltration and improved survival without affecting viral clearance. In contrast, early application of IL-27 impaired virus clearance and worsened disease. These findings demonstrate the importance of IL-27 for the physiological control of immunopathology and the potential value of well-timed IL-27 application to treat life-threatening inflammation during lung infection.

Tree Variable Selection for Paired Case-Control Studies with Application to Microbiome Data
Creators: name: Ishwaran, Hemant
name: Lu, Min
Publisher: name: unknown
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Machine learning

description: When case-control studies involve paired samples, tree analyses based
on traditional splitting rules are suboptimal as they ignore the paired nature of the
data. Paired samples occur in microbiome studies when they are collected from
different locations of the same individual or when they are collected from paired
individuals with familial ties. Borrowing concepts from tree splitting, we propose
a novel approach that accommodates the paired structure in the data for fast and
effective nonparametric variable ranking. Importantly this method allows detangling
of different types of associations at play with structured correlated outcomes such
as host genotype and enviromental exposure effects. Another technique for variable
selection are variable importance measures. We describe two types of measures
useful for paired data analysis. The methodology is illustrated on the microbiota of
paired samples from a case-control study of obesity.

description: Background: Data on knowledge, attitudes, behaviour and practices (KABP) of persons with recent HIV infection compared to controls with negative HIV test result provide information on current risk patterns and can help to re-focus HIV prevention strategies. Methods: From March 2008 through May 2010, persons newly diagnosed with HIV (cases) and HIV-negative controls were recruited by physicians in Germany. To distinguish recent ( 5 months) infection, dried blood spots from people newly diagnosed with HIV were tested with the BED IgG-capture ELISA. Cases and controls completed a KABP-questionnaire. We compared cases with recent infection and controls among men having sex with men (MSM) regarding reported risk behaviour in the previous 6 months. To detect differences, unadjusted Odds Ratios (OR) were calculated and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: Cases and controls did not differ in terms of knowledge on transmission risks, HIV testing frequency, partnership status, or regarding the frequency of any unprotected sex with partners known to be HIV-positive or assumed to be HIV-negative. Cases more often reported a shorter duration of partnership (

description: In recent years, deep learning models have become popular in the real-time embedded application, but there are many complexities for hardware deployment because of limited resources such as memory, computational power, and energy. Recent research in the field of deep learning focuses on reducing the model size of the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) by various compression techniques like Architectural compression, Pruning, Quantization, and Encoding (e.g., Huffman encoding). Network pruning is one of the promising technique to solve these problems. This thesis proposes methods to prune the convolution neural network (SqueezeNet) without introducing network sparsity in the pruned model. This thesis proposes three methods to prune the CNN to decrease the model size of CNN without a significant drop in the accuracy of the model. 1: Pruning based on Taylor expansion of change in cost function Delta C. 2: Pruning based on L2 normalization of activation maps. 3: Pruning based on a combination of method 1 and method 2.The proposed methods use various ranking methods to rank the convolution kernels and prune the lower ranked filters afterwards SqueezeNet model is fine-tuned by backpropagation. Transfer learning technique is used to train the SqueezeNet on the CIFAR-10 dataset. Results show that the proposed approach reduces the SqueezeNet model by 72% without a significant drop in the accuracy of the model (optimal pruning efficiency result). Results also show that Pruning based on a combination of Taylor expansion of the cost function and L2 normalization of activation maps achieves better pruning efficiency compared to other individual pruning criteria and most of the pruned kernels are from mid and high-level layers. The Pruned model is deployed on BlueBox 2.0 using RTMaps software and model performance was evaluated.

description: Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an infectious viral disease that has (re-)emerged in the last decade in south-eastern Europe, and there is a risk for further geographical expansion to western Europe. Here we report the results of a survey covering 28 countries, conducted in 2012 among the member laboratories of the European Network for Diagnostics of ‘Imported’ Viral Diseases (ENIVD) to assess laboratory preparedness and response capacities for CCHF. The answers of 31 laboratories of the European region regarding CCHF case definition, training necessity, biosafety, quality assurance and diagnostic tests are presented. In addition, we identified the lack of a Regional Reference Expert Laboratory in or near endemic areas. Moreover, a comprehensive review of the biosafety level suitable to the reality of endemic areas is needed. These issues are challenges that should be addressed by European public health authorities. However, all respondent laboratories have suitable diagnostic capacities for the current situation.

description: Hintergrund: Die Ständige Impfkommission in Deutschland empfiehlt eine Impfung gegen humane Papillomviren der Hochrisikotypen 16 und 18. Die Dauer des Impfschutzes wurde in einigen Studien angegeben, bisher aber nicht systematisch ausgewertet. Methode: Systematische Literatursuche und Metaanalyse zur Effektivität der Impfung sowie Evidenzbewertung anhand der Kriterien von GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation). Ergebnisse: Es wurden 15 Studien (10 randomisierte kontrollierte Studien [RCT]; 5 Beobachtungsstudien) identifiziert. Die RCTs schlossen 46 436 Studienteilnehmerinnen ein. 8 RCTs berichteten zur Kurzzeitnachbeobachtungsperiode (Median: 3 Jahre) und 2 RCTs zur Langzeitnachbeobachtung (Median: 6 Jahre). In der Kurzzeitnachbeobachtungsperiode lag für den Studienendpunkt inzidente HPV-Infektionen eine gepoolte Impfeffektivität (Anteil verhinderter Erkrankungen) von 83 % (95-%-KI: 70–90 %) vor, während diese gegen persistierende HPV-Infektionen 90 % (95-%-KI: 79–95 %) betrug. In diesem Zeitraum wurden CIN 2 + Läsionen mit einer Effektivität von 84 % (95-%-KI: 50–95 %), sowie CIN 3 + Läsionen zu 94 % (95-%-KI: 83–98 %) verhindert. In der Langzeitnachbeobachtung ließen sich inzidente Infektionen mit einer Effektivität von 94 % (95-%-KI: 80–98 %) verhindern, bei einer Impfeffektivität von 95 % (95-%-KI: 84–99 %) gegen persistierende Infektionen. Die Langzeit-Impfeffektivität gegen CIN 2 + Läsionen betrug 86 % (95-%-KI: –166–99 %); für CIN 3 + Läsionen lagen für diesen Zeitraum keine Daten vor. Schlussfolgerung: In der Langzeitnachbeobachtung liegen bisher keine Hinweise auf ein Nachlassen des Impfschutzes nach Impfung gegen HPV 16 und 18 vor, wobei die Evidenzqualität für den Langzeitschutz schlechter ist als für den Kurzzeitschutz.
