What was I thinking?: an essay on the nature of propositional attitudes
Creators: name: De Brigard, Felipe
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The thesis I defend in this paper is that the truth—or lack thereof—of our ascriptions of propositional attitudes need not carry ontological weight onto our theories about the nature of mental states. This claim would not be surprising if it weren’t for the fact that both Fodorian realists and eliminative materialists about propositional attitudes take it as a premise in their arguments. They do so, I argue, because both assume a realist stance regarding scientific theories. I claim that we would be better off if we reject this underlying assumption. At the end I suggest an alternative strategy for interpreting our ascriptions of propositional attitudes inspired by an anti-realist view on scientific theories. This view, I hope, may relieve the philosopher of mind from awkward ontological concerns regarding the nature of propositional attitudes.

description: A new set of molecules was designed and synthesized by compilation of pharmacologically potential segments thiazole and quinoline bridged by 2-azetidinone as a linker in a single molecular skeleton. Structural analysis of synthesized molecules (5a-p) was executed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopy techniques. Aforesaid compounds were analyzed for investigation of their antimicrobial capability against several bacterial and fungal strains. The synthesized compounds 5b, 5f, 5h, 5i, 5k, and 5l were active against bacterial strains while compounds 5j and 5k were active against fungal strains. Synthesized compounds were found to be potential inhibitors against gram-negative bacterial strains Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while the same were not effective against gram-positive strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Compounds with electron-releasing substituents were active molecules against all fungal strains used in screening. Also, the influence of substituents on the antimicrobial activity of target molecules (5a-p) was discussed. Molecular docking study against crucial microbial target β-Ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase III (FabH) could provide valuable insights into their plausible mechanism of action.

High-Dimensional Estimation of Structured Signals from Non-Linear Observations with General Convex Loss Functions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, we study the issue of estimating a structured signal $x_0 \in \mathbb{R}^n$ from non-linear and noisy Gaussian observations. Supposing that $x_0$ is contained in a certain convex subset $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we prove that accurate recovery is already feasible if the number of observations exceeds the effective dimension of $K$, which is a common measure for the complexity of signal classes. It will turn out that the possibly unknown non-linearity of our model affects the error rate only by a multiplicative constant. This achievement is based on recent works by Plan and Vershynin, who have suggested to treat the non-linearity rather as noise which perturbs a linear measurement process. Using the concept of restricted strong convexity, we show that their results for the generalized Lasso can be extended to a fairly large class of convex loss functions. Moreover, we shall allow for the presence of adversarial noise so that even deterministic model inaccuracies can be coped with. These generalizations particularly give further evidence of why many standard estimators perform surprisingly well in practice, although they do not rely on any knowledge of the underlying output rule. To this end, our results provide a unified and general framework for signal reconstruction in high dimensions, covering various challenges from the fields of compressed sensing, signal processing, and statistical learning.

description: Working within the confines of photography and the technology of the day, three men shared a common theme in their work--the depiction of death. Mathew Brady mounted a comprehensive effort to cover the American Civil War, Arthur Fellig (Weegee) depicted New York City life after dark and Andy Warhol expressed the commonality of death extracted from specific events, but with transcendental qualities. This thesis explores the common links connecting Brady, Weegee and Warhol--technology and the portrayal of death in photography over time.

description: Enoyl Acyl Carrier Protein (ACP) Reductase, a key enzyme, which catalyzes the last reductive step of fatty acid biosynthesis and it, is one of the key enzymes for the development of antitubercular agents. In this pursuit, molecular docking and 3D-QSAR studies (CoMFA and CoMSIA) have been performed on a series of pyrimidine derivatives (29 compounds) to understand the binding sites, interactions to improve over the existing leads in terms of improved biological and physico-chemical properties. Molecular docking was performed on a protein InhA (T2A mutant) (PDB ID: 5OIR) using the Surflex-Dock suite available in SYBYL-X 2.1.1 (Tripose Inc., USA). In addition, 3D-QSAR studies have been performed to validate the models using the data set, which was segregated into training and test set by using the Diversity and Dissimilarity method. Structural features required for the prediction of better inhibitory potency was generated in the form of contour maps from the CoMFA and CoMSIA models (Steric, Electrostatic, Hydrophobicity, H-bond donor and acceptor maps) and predicted values for r2 = 0.966, q2 = 0.22 for the CoMFA model and r2 = 0.925, q2 = 0.576 for the CoMSIA model. From this study, it is observed that interaction with amino acid residues TYR158, MET199, MET161, GLY96, and PHE97 are important for the activity that helped to predict SARs by providing important structural features. Both the models were good in understanding the specific activity of some of the compounds that will facilitate to develop new types of Enoyl ACP reductase inhibitors.
Convergence Rate for a Radau hp Collocation Method Applied to Constrained Optimal Control

description: For unconstrained control problems, a local convergence rate is established for an $hp$-method based on collocation at the Radau quadrature points in each mesh interval of the discretization. If the continuous problem has a sufficiently smooth solution and the Hamiltonian satisfies a strong convexity condition, then the discrete problem possesses a local minimizer in a neighborhood of the continuous solution, and as either the number of collocation points or the number of mesh intervals increase, the discrete solution convergences to the continuous solution in the sup-norm. The convergence is exponentially fast with respect to the degree of the polynomials on each mesh interval, while the error is bounded by a polynomial in the mesh spacing. An advantage of the $hp$-scheme over global polynomials is that there is a convergence guarantee when the mesh is sufficiently small, while the convergence result for global polynomials requires that a norm of the linearized dynamics is sufficiently small. Numerical examples explore the convergence theory.

Explicit back-off rates for achieving target throughputs in CSMA/CA networks
Creators: name: Van Houdt, Benny
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: CSMA/CA networks have often been analyzed using a stylized model that is fully characterized by a vector of back-off rates and a conflict graph. Further, for any achievable throughput vector $\vec θ$ the existence of a unique vector $\vec ν(\vec θ)$ of back-off rates that achieves this throughput vector was proven. Although this unique vector can in principle be computed iteratively, the required time complexity grows exponentially in the network size, making this only feasible for small networks. In this paper, we present an explicit formula for the unique vector of back-off rates $\vec ν(\vec θ)$ needed to achieve any achievable throughput vector $\vec θ$ provided that the network has a chordal conflict graph. This class of networks contains a number of special cases of interest such as (inhomogeneous) line networks and networks with an acyclic conflict graph. Moreover, these back-off rates are such that the back-off rate of a node only depends on its own target throughput and the target throughput of its neighbors and can be determined in a distributed manner. We further indicate that back-off rates of this form cannot be obtained in general for networks with non-chordal conflict graphs. For general conflict graphs we nevertheless show how to adapt the back-off rates when a node is added to the network when its interfering nodes form a clique in the conflict graph. Finally, we introduce a distributed chordal approximation algorithm for general conflict graphs which is shown (using numerical examples) to be more accurate than the Bethe approximation.
Vimala Cooks Everybody Eats: Domesticity, Community, and Empowerment
Creators: name: Hilliard, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Nearly once a week for 12 years, Vimala Rajendran, joined by her husband, and volunteers, hosted Indian community dinners out of her home to approximately175 donation-paying guests. In June of 2010, Vimala opened a restaurant, Vimala's Curryblossom Cafe, in downtown Chapel Hill, relocating her underground kitchen, community, volunteers, and family helpers to a more formal place of business. This thesis addresses how through her dinners, Vimala constructed a "purposeful domesticity" and examines how in her home kitchen and restaurant kitchen she creates shifting and multiple visions of "home" through food, community, and expressions of "creative ethnicity." Vimala's transition from an underground economy to a public local restaurant provides an example for an investigation of the possibilities and hardships of sustaining an alternative, feminist, community-supported economy.

description: This paper presents the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter for sets of trajectories: the trajectory probability density (TPHD) filter. The TPHD filter is capable of estimating trajectories in a principled way without requiring to evaluate all measurement-to-target association hypotheses. The TPHD filter is based on recursively obtaining the best Poisson approximation to the multitrajectory filtering density in the sense of minimising the Kullback-Leibler divergence. We also propose a Gaussian mixture implementation of the TPHD recursion. Finally, we include simulation results to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.

A Case Study on the Effects of Exercise on Muscle Cross-Sectional Area During Induction Chemotherapy for Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

description: While aggressive chemotherapy is standard for promoting complete remission in newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia patients, treatment side effects impair post-cancer quality of life due in part to negative changes in body composition and increases in cancer-related fatigue. This population would greatly benefit from an intervention which increases physical activity during treatment. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on muscle cross sectional area and fatigue before and after induction chemotherapy. One patient with acute myelogenous leukemia participated in this study. The exercise protocol included 30-40 minutes of aerobic and resistance exercise performed 2-4 days per week, twice a day for 4 weeks. While a decrease in vastus lateralis cross sectional area was present post-intervention, this decrease may have been much greater without the intervention. A decrease in self-reported fatigue was recorded. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that an exercise intervention during induction chemotherapy may mitigate large losses in muscle cross sectional area and may potentially reduce fatigue.

description: Synthesis a well-suited coating for solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber is essential point due to determination trace amounts of analytes from water and wastewater samples. So, the new coating was built onto the porous anodized aluminum wire incorporated with layered double hydroxide compound and modified solvothermally with graphitic carbon nitride and used as fiber coating for selectively analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by HS-SPME method. According to the results, this coating indicated considerable potential due to extract simultaneously trace amounts of some carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic compounds in different matrices. Essential parameters such as microextraction time, microextraction temperature, agitation speed and ionic strength of the sample solution that mainly affect the adsorption process were optimized and in the optimum values, repeatability data of one fiber that changed between 4.7% and 7.7% for the test compounds were achieved. Detection limits for the studied compounds were between 0.002 to 0.32 µg L−1. It is a simple, quick, and cheap approach. There is stability in the fiber in terms of temperature, and great recoveries are obtained by its use.
Dynamic Threshold Relations of Stormflow Runoff in Humid Headwater Catchments of the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory

description: This thesis examines the long-term threshold response of rainfall-runoff relationships at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory located in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Threshold relationships between total stormflow and antecedent wetness represent an important emergent behavior that has been observed in previous studies. These studies are limited to only several years of analysis, which raises questions about longer term non-stationarity in threshold response. To examine the influence of non-stationarity, this thesis uses 15 years of data collected by the Coweeta Long-Term Ecologic Research Study and USDA Forest Service at two long-term monitoring sites to supplement additional short-term observations. Results demonstrate that threshold behavior of stormflow generation exists in Coweeta as a function of total storm precipitation plus antecedent soil moisture. Long-term thresholds vary with respect to seasonality and interannual hydroclimate variability. Lastly, we found evidence of non-linear stormflow generation, which has implications for previously observed simple threshold behavior.

In this paper we describe the primary reasons behind this effectiveness: address reuse, avoidable merging, super-clusters with high centrality, and the incremental growth of address clusters. We quantify their impact during Bitcoin's first seven years of existence.

title: Fecal Concentrations of Short and Medium Chain Fatty Acids are Influenced by Postnatal Day, Antibiotic Exposure, and Cocaine Intake in Adolescent and Adult Male Rats.
Creators: name: Sambor, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 1905

description:
Cocaine addiction is a public health crisis without lasting treatments to prevent relapse, and the adolescent stage of development is associated with risky behavior, such as drug use. The gut-brain axis may be a new target for addiction treatments. Short and medium chain fatty acids (SMCFA) are produced by bacteria in the gut and communicate to the brain, thereby influencing drug reinforcement. This study hypothesized that SMCFA concentrations are reduced by antibiotic-induced gut bacterial depletion and altered by cocaine self-administration in adolescent and adult male Wistar rats. A new method of capillary electrophoresis coupled with indirect photometric detection (CE-IPD) was utilized to estimate SMCFA concentrations in fecal samples from ABX- and/or cocaine-experienced rats. Results suggest that some SMCFAs decline with bacterial depletion in adults, are influenced by cocaine in adolescents, and modestly increase over adolescence in treatment-nave rats. SMCFA should be investigated as possible routes for gut-brain communication in addiction.

description: In the development of tissues such as the nervous system, the actin cytoskeleton is remodeled in cells by protein signaling cascades that allow cells to change shape, move and sense their environment by sending out projections. At the center of one such signaling cascade, important during neuronal migration and axon guidance in both vertebrates and invertebrates, is the Abelson tyrosine kinase. Abl interacts with a set of receptors, adaptors, and actin binding and regulating proteins. In Drosophila abl was specifically found to genetically interact with disabled (dab), an adaptor that also binds to Notch, a receptor that genetically interacts with abl. Dab is the link that transmits extracellular signals to the kinase signaling module. In this study we sought to dissect how the protein structure of Dab contributes to the mechanism of Abl function in the nervous system both in vivo and in vitro.

description: Using the Slavnov--Taylor identities we prove that the three-point ghost vertices with a single line of the quantum gauge superfield are not renormalized in all loops in ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories. This statement is verified by the explicit one-loop calculation made by the help of the BRST invariant version of the higher covariant derivative regularization. Using the restrictions to the renormalization constants which are imposed by the non-renormalization of the considered vertices we express the exact NSVZ $β$-function in terms of the anomalous dimensions of the Faddeev--Popov ghosts and of the quantum gauge superfield. In the expression for the NSVZ $β$-function obtained in this way the contributions of the Faddeev--Popov ghosts and of the matter superfields have the same structure.

description: The dietary exposure of Finnish children to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and the sum of four EU marker polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH4) was estimated. In total, 154 analyzed samples and the literature data of 82 foodstuffs were included in our estimations. Food consumption data were based on a cross-sectional DAGIS study, which concerned Finnish preschool children (3–6 years of age). The Bayesian statistical model was used to assess the PAH4 exposures from multiple food products taking into account individual variation in food consumption. The analyte concentrations below the limit of detection (LOD) or between LOD and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were treated as censored data in the model to achieve optimum concentration estimates. The modeled total dietary mean exposures to BaP and PAH4 sum were 1,400 and 8,100 pg/kg bw/day, respectively. The respective 97.5th percentiles of exposure were to BaP 2700 and PAH4 sum 14,000 pg/kg bw/day. Bread and smoked ham contributed the most to PAH exposure. The corresponding total margin of exposures were for BaP 482,000 and for PAH4, 42,000. Based on our results, exposure to PAHs from studied foods does not pose a health risk to Finnish children aged 3–6 years.

We study Liouville first-passage percolation: the shortest-path metric in which each vertex $x$ is given a weight of $e^{γY_{\mathfrak{B}}(x)}$ for some $γ>0$. We show that for sufficiently small but fixed $γ>0$, for any sequence of scales $\{S_{k}\}$ there exists a subsequence along which the appropriately scaled and interpolated Liouville FPP metric converges in the Gromov--Hausdorff sense to a random metric on the unit square in $\mathbf{R}^{2}$. In addition, all possible (conjecturally unique) scaling limits are homeomorphic by bi-Hölder-continuous homeomorphisms to the unit square with the Euclidean metric.

description: We provide a protocol to measure out-of-time-order correlation functions. These correlation functions are of theoretical interest for diagnosing the scrambling of quantum information in black holes and strongly interacting quantum systems generally. Measuring them requires an echo-type sequence in which the sign of a many-body Hamiltonian is reversed. We detail an implementation employing cold atoms and cavity quantum electrodynamics to realize the chaotic kicked top model, and we analyze effects of dissipation to verify its feasibility with current technology. Finally, we propose in broad strokes a number of other experimental platforms where similar out-of-time-order correlation functions can be measured.

description: In this work, five component reactions are utilized for the production of quinazoline derivatives by utilizing the one-pot reaction of 3-hydroxyphthalaldehyde, ethylenediamine, alkyl bromides, electron deficient acetylenic compounds and ethyl bromoacetate in vicinity of Fe3O4/CuO nanocomposites as a high performance catalyst at environment temperature in water extract of lettuce leaves as green solvent. Also, water extract of lettuce leaves was used for synthesis of Fe3O4/CuO nanocomposites. The existing quinazoline core in the synthesized compounds caused to ability of antioxidation of synthesized quinazoline. For confirmation of this point, we are used DPPH radical trapping and ferric ion reducing power tests. Outcomes of these tests show that synthesized quinazolines have low DPPH radical trapping and good reducing ability of ferric ion. The excellent yield of reaction, green media and easy separation of product and catalyst are some benefits of this procedure.HighlightsWater extract of Lettuce leaves was used as solvent for the preparation of quinazolines as cyclic heteroaromatic systems.The present procedure avoids the use of toxic solvent.The present procedure runs in water extract of Lettuce leaves as a green media.This recoverable catalyst makes this protocol attractive and useful as an industrially viable and eco-safe solvent with high yields of products.

description: We point out that the gravitational-wave event GW150914 observed by the LIGO detectors can be explained by the coalescence of primordial black holes (PBHs). It is found that the expected PBH merger rate would exceed the rate estimated by the LIGO scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration if PBHs were the dominant component of dark matter, while it can be made compatible if PBHs constitute a fraction of dark matter. Intriguingly, the abundance of PBHs required to explain the suggested lower bound on the event rate, $> 2$ events ${\rm Gpc}^{-3} {\rm yr}^{-1}$, roughly coincides with the existing upper limit set by the nondetection of the cosmic microwave background spectral distortion. This implies that the proposed PBH scenario may be tested in the not-too-distant future.

description: Globally, more than 60% of all workers work in the informal economy (ILO 2020). One sector, waste pickers, comprise 1–2% of workers in low- and middle-income countries, yet their vulnerabilities and contributions to the circular economy are poorly understood. The COVID-19 pandemic presents a valuable opportunity to evaluate the socio-economic precarity of waste pickers, the essentiality of their contributions to sustainability efforts, and the fragility of circular economy infrastructures. This study, designed by WIEGO (Women in the Informal Economy: Globalizing and Organizing), aimed to assess the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns on waste pickers globally. Additionally, the study surveyed occupational health challenges faced by waste pickers and responses by local governments and non-governmental organizations. Between June and July 2020, local research teams surveyed 499 waste pickers in 9 cities in 8 countries. The study findings highlight 1) that the pandemic exacerbated the already precarious economic condition of waste pickers; 2) high worker risk to occupational exposures and lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), which resulted in varied PPE usage, and 3) the uneven and limited distribution of economic assistance and aid by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local governments in support of waste pickers as essential workers. We propose several recommendations to address persistent inequities in the informal recycling sector to create a more inclusive and just circular economy.
How do past crises affect publics’ perceptions of current events?: an experiment testing corporate reputation during an adverse event
Creators: name: Elliot, John Drew

description: Previous research in crisis communication has shown that a corporation’s history of crises has a damaging effect on reputation during a current crisis. This study uses an experiment with student subjects testing not only the effect of a corporation’s own crises on reputation, but also the reputational effect of a corporation without a crisis history but in an industry with a history of similar crises, called extraorganizational crisis history. Findings of this experiment show that publics’ knowledge of extraorganizational crisis history may protect an organization’s reputation in a crisis. Theoretical and practical implications of this finding are discussed and further research is suggested.

description: A liquid/liquid extraction method coupled with a GC/MS analysis was optimized to quantify 27 polycyclic aromatic compounds in groundwater from contaminated sites. The aim was to optimize an analytical method to determine Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and Oxygenated Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds (O-PACs) in water and for apply the method to ground water samples collected from contaminated sites. The analysis takes place in one run, including dissolved as well as colloid and particle-associated compounds. Artificially contaminated waters were prepared with two concentration ranges from 0.01 to 1 µg L−1 and 0.5 to 50 µg L−1. This method proceeds with two main steps. The first step is a liquid/liquid extraction with dichloromethane followed by a concentration procedure. The second step is the injection for separation and quantification in a gas chromatograph coupled with a mass spectrometer. The novelty of this work concerns the control of each step by the introduction of deuterated standards in order in order to estimate the recoveries during the extraction, concentration and injection in the process as well as the possibility of quantifying PAC total concentrations in water. This method leads to very good quantification limits ranging from 1 to 60 ng L−1 for PAHs and from 10 to 1,200 ng L−1 for O-PACs, respectively. High sensitivity has been achieved with some of the PAHs with a good R2 factor higher than 0.994 in the concentration range 0.01 to 1 µ L−1.

description: It is well known that the Stein-Tomas $L^2$ Fourier restriction theorem can be used to derive sharp $L^p$ bounds for radial Fourier multipliers such as the Bochner-Riesz means. In a similar manner, $L^p \to L^2$ estimates for spectral projection operators have been utilized in order to obtain sharp $L^p$ bounds for spectral multipliers of self-adjoint elliptic pseudo-differential operators on compact manifolds. In this paper, we refine an endpoint result for spectral multipliers due to Seeger, providing endpoint bounds in terms of Besov spaces. Our proof is based on the ideas from the recent work by Heo, Nazarov and Seeger, and Lee, Rogers and Seeger on radial Fourier multipliers.

description: Boehmite nanoparticles (BNPs) with a wide surface area and a large number of surface hydroxyl groups were covalently functionalized by 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane to support sulfanilic acid. This is a hybrid catalyst was then characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Accordingly BNPs@Si(CH2)3@NHSO3H was used as an effective catalyst for the one-pot three-component Hantzsch condensation reaction of aryl aldehydes, ammonium acetate and ethylacetoacetate for synthesize polyhydroquinolines and 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives. These reactions were carried out in ethanol solvent under reflux conditions. This way offered here is operationally easy, environmentally benign, straightforward work-up, short reaction time and has high yield. Further, the heterogeneous catalyst be recycle simply and reused.
