description: The idea that compressed sensing may be used to encrypt information from unauthorised receivers has already been envisioned, but never explored in depth since its security may seem compromised by the linearity of its encoding process. In this paper we apply this simple encoding to define a general private-key encryption scheme in which a transmitter distributes the same encoded measurements to receivers of different classes, which are provided partially corrupted encoding matrices and are thus allowed to decode the acquired signal at provably different levels of recovery quality. The security properties of this scheme are thoroughly analysed: firstly, the properties of our multiclass encryption are theoretically investigated by deriving performance bounds on the recovery quality attained by lower-class receivers with respect to high-class ones. Then we perform a statistical analysis of the measurements to show that, although not perfectly secure, compressed sensing grants some level of security that comes at almost-zero cost and thus may benefit resource-limited applications. In addition to this we report some exemplary applications of multiclass encryption by compressed sensing of speech signals, electrocardiographic tracks and images, in which quality degradation is quantified as the impossibility of some feature extraction algorithms to obtain sensitive information from suitably degraded signal recoveries.

description: The model-based reconstruction problem is still one of the key challenges in magnetic particle imaging (MPI) when using multi-dimensional Lissajous-type excitations. One aspect, which is often highlighted in the literature, is the magnetization behavior of the magnetic nanoparticles in fluids, which is typically modeled by a coupling of Brown and N\'{e}el rotation mechanisms. Another aspect, which is at least as important as the particle model itself but sometimes treated less prominently, is a very careful calibration of the model input, respectively the scanner parameters such as analog filter and applied magnetic fields. The careful consideration of both aspects is the essential requirement for a proper solution to the model-based problem. In the present work we combine calibrated scanner components with polydisperse particle models for immobilized nanoparticles to derive a model-based system function and an efficient calibration routine. It is experimentally validated on the Bruker preclinical MPI system using 2D Lissjous trajectories.

title: Equitable Housing Generation Through Cellular Automata
Creators: name: Clark, Molly R
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: This thesis seeks to experiment with the culmination of social, natural and built paradigms of sustainability using digital generation as an architectural process. Specifically, this thesis will explore cellular automaton and modular design approaches in the context of multifamily housing, asking if we can quantify the qualities of equitable housing and guide digital algorithms to generate efficient, flexible, human centered designs. Cellular automaton is a term used to describe a phenomenon in which the growth of one cell in a plant or animal is entirely dependent upon the already existing adjacent cell. Digital cellular automaton is a mathematical, rule based tool used to generate patterns or to map complex systems; similarly, the generation of new cells is entirely dependent on the environment it is being born into. The aim of this work is to translate human centered parameters and local architectural guidelines into an algorithm with rules which can be easily manipulated to produce comparable digitally generated forms. The parameters will be based on an architectural program consisting of a multi-unit mixed income residential building located in, and designed for the residents of, Northampton, Massachusetts. Northampton is an exemplary small-scale city; a historic New England town with housing problems reminiscent of a larger urban area. The selected site allows for investigations of density, growth, adaptation and modular design in a way that could be applied to not only similarly sized cities, but regions of varying density based on their own local parameters. For a relevant output, the parameters and data put into the algorithm must be humanized, individualized, or in the case of this work, curated to reflect and serve a specific community. Cellular automaton allows for varied pattern generation and for the exploration of repeating modules as well as allow for future adaptations to evolving housing needs and sustainability targets. The goal is to create a supportive system of habitat that allows for growth potential and flexibility without sacrificing quality of life for the inhabitants.

description: Due to the expansion of our Universe, the redshift of distant objects changes with time. Although the amplitude of this redshift drift is small, it will be measurable with a decade-long campaigns on the next generation of telescopes. Here we present an alternative view of the redshift drift which captures the expansion of the universe in single epoch observations of the multiple images of gravitationally lensed sources. Considering a sufficiently massive lens, with an associated time delay of order decades, simultaneous photons arriving at a detector would have been emitted decades earlier in one image compared to another, leading to an instantaneous redshift difference between the images. We also investigate the effect of peculiar velocities on the redshift difference in the observed images. Whilst still requiring the observational power of the next generation of telescopes and instruments, the advantage of such a single epoch detection over other redshift drift measurements is that it will be less susceptible to systematic effects that result from requiring instrument stability over decade-long campaigns.

description: We present analytical and numerical studies of the behaviour of the $α$-Renyi entropies in the Toric code in presence of several types of perturbations aimed at studying the simulability of these perturbations to the parent Hamiltonian using local operations and classical communications (LOCC) - a property called local-convertibility. In particular, the derivatives, with respect to the perturbation parameter, present different signs for different values of $α$ within the topological phase. From the information-theoretic point of view, this means that such ground states cannot be continuously deformed within the topological phase by means of catalyst assisted local operations and classical communications (LOCC). Such LOCC differential convertibility is on the other hand always possible in the trivial disordered phase. The non-LOCC convertibility is remarkable because it can be computed on a system whose size is independent of correlation length. This method can therefore constitute an experimentally feasible witness of topological order.

Type 2 diabetes in women after a diagnosis of gestational diabetes: understanding uptake to screening, progression rates and costs, using evidence synthesis methodologies

description: This project comprises a comprehensive investigation of the subsequent risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other health complications, in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and additionally considers the cost-effectiveness of an intervention to delay or prevent T2DM using a decision model framework. First, a systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out to estimate the risk of developing T2DM in women with GDM. This study found that the risk is higher than previously observed, with these women having a nearly tenfold greater risk of developing T2DM compared to those who had a normoglycaemic pregnancy. Two further projects were carried out using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD); one estimated post-partum screening attendance rates and potential determinants in the UK, and the other assessed the risk of developing T2DM, hypertension, recurrent GDM, and depression, in a population of women with prior GDM. Regarding screening attendance, this study found that while most women with GDM received at least one glucose screening test within the first 5 years post-partum, fewer than a quarter received on average one test per year of follow-up, as recommended by UK guidelines. The study additionally identified that older age at GDM diagnosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, prescribed medication for GDM, and living in England, were associated with a greater likelihood of screening attendance. In terms of the risk of long-term health conditions, the subsequent study found that the risk of health complications in women with GDM differed by ethnicity and socio-economic status. Finally, the last project of this thesis was a Markov decision model that assessed the cost-effectiveness of intervening to prevent/delay T2DM. The findings of this study suggest that delivering an intervention to reduce risk of progressing to T2DM would be highly cost-effective.

description: The focus of this paper is the study of the regularity properties of the time harmonic Maxwell's equations with anisotropic complex coefficients, in a bounded domain with $C^{1,1}$ boundary. We assume that at least one of the material parameters is $W^{1,3+δ}$ for some $δ>0$. Using regularity theory for second order elliptic partial differential equations, we derive $W^{1,p}$ estimates and Hölder estimates for electric and magnetic fields up to the boundary. We also derive interior estimates in bi-anisotropic media.

description: Because African American architecture has not been recognized as culturally significant within academia, this thesis is an attempt to expand the architectural discourse. I will do this by answering the question: what is black architecture? To answer this question, we will examine the history of six houses specific to African American architecture: the barrack, the slave cabin, the shotgun house, public housing, the black suburban house, and the gentrified house. I will discuss the repercussions of each style, societal goals in establishing each style, and the policies or laws passed that instigated their creations. Importantly, I will explore how these styles are connected and how each style changed overtime. This historical narrative is not written to produce a survey report on the history of black architecture, but to be a basis to propose a design solution that could be implemented on Wells Avenue in Memphis, TN.

description: Spectroscopic observations in X-ray wavelengths provide excellent diagnostics of the temperature distribution in solar flare plasma. The Solar X-ray Monitor (XSM) onboard the Chandrayaan-2 mission provides broad-band disk integrated soft X-ray solar spectral measurements in the energy range of 1-15 keV with high spectral resolution and time cadence. In this study, we analyse X-ray spectra of three representative GOES C-class flares obtained with the XSM to investigate the evolution of various plasma parameters during the course of the flares. Using the soft X-ray spectra consisting of the continuum and well-resolved line complexes of major elements like Mg, Si, and Fe, we investigate the validity of the isothermal and multi-thermal assumptions on the high temperature components of the flaring plasma. We show that the soft X-ray spectra during the impulsive phase of the high intensity flares are inconsistent with isothermal models and are best fitted with double peaked differential emission measure distributions where the temperature of the hotter component rises faster than that of the cooler component. The two distinct temperature components observed in DEM models during the impulsive phase of the flares suggest the presence of the directly heated plasma in the corona and evaporated plasma from the chromospheric footpoints. We also find that the abundances of low FIP elements Mg, Si, and Fe reduces from near coronal to near photospheric values during the rising phase of the flare and recovers back to coronal values during decay phase, which is also consistent with the chromospheric evaporation scenario.

Multi-purpose deep learning framework for MPI based on contrastive learning

Publisher: name: International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging IJMPI
Year: 2023

description: Deep learning can be used in many tasks for MPI, prominently to reduce the calibration time of system matrix (SM)-based reconstruction by recovering undersampled SMs or directly reconstructing measurements without an SM. The success of supervised machine learning methods depends on the used training data, which should have high quality, match the distribution of the desired test cases and be cleanly labeled. For MPI, such data rarely exists. To find robust features in complex input data, the unsupervised method contrastive learning can be used. In this work, we show its applicability to MPI voltage signals and that the learned features improve the performance of tasks like SM recovery and direct reconstruction of real MPI data in 2D. SM recovery is performed by predicting voltage signals of samples placed in the MPI FOV, which could also provide an alternative to classic simulation frameworks that cannot match real MPI measurements.

description: A Space In-Between, is a series of works that explores a balance between two radically different cultures that the artist identifies with through visual language. The experience of immigration as an Iranian body in a Western context is investigated through works in sculpture, photography and video. By using the language of materials, the artist explores the diasporic space regarding class, gender, and ethnicity. The practice of creating Iranian designs with American products such as a muqarnas from cigarette cartons from her family’s convenient store in Bessemer, Alabama, or creating a chadorfrom Mossy Oak camouflage, acts as an effort to visualize and harmonize her experience living between Iranian and American culture.

My research engages digital technology and media studies to consider the ethics and ambivalence associated with spectatorship. Using traditional art mediums, I explore social and digital media, revealing tensions through representation and materiality. This translation from digital to analogue media is pivotal in all my work. Handmade objects introduce slippage and meaning as they break from the limiting format of the screen. This thesis will explore the research and content that inspired the creation of my work over the past three years and demonstrate how the resulting artworks create content and meaning.

Previously known examples are the analogues of the Gaiotto-Yin loops preserving four supercharges and "latitude" loops preserving two. We carry out a careful classification and find, in addition, loops preserving three supercharges, further inequivalent classes of loops preserving two supercharges and loops preserving a single supercharge. For each of the classes of loops, we present a representative example and analyse their full orbit under the broken symmetries.

description: Green pea galaxies are starbursting, low-mass galaxies that are good analogues to star-forming galaxies in the early universe. We perform a survey of 23 Green Peas using the MUSE Integral Field Unit spectrograph on the VLT to search for companion galaxies. The survey reaches an average point-source depth of $\sim 10^{-18}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ for emission lines. The MUSE field of view allows us to probe a 1$\times$1 arcmin$^2$ field around these galaxies and to search their surroundings for faint companions that could have interacted with them and induced their starburst episodes. We search for companions using a variety of methods including template matching to emission and absorption line spectra. When restricting the search to the same physical area (R = 78 kpc) for all galaxies, we find that the fraction of green pea galaxies with companions is $0.11_{-0.05}^{+0.07}$. We define a control sample of star-forming galaxies with the same stellar masses and redshifts as the green peas, but consistent with the star-formation main sequence. We find that green pea galaxies are as likely to have companions as the control sample; for which the fraction of objects with companions is $0.08_{-0.03}^{+0.05}$. Given that we do not find statistical evidence for an elevated companion fraction in the green peas in this study, we argue that the ``companions" are likely unrelated to the bursts in these galaxies.

title: The Efficacy of a Telepractice Service Delivery Model for Providing Speech and Language Services to Children with ASD
Creators: name: Marotta, Myranda L
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic required the use of remote technologies for society and the workforce to function under quarantine conditions. The literature on telepractice services for individuals with ASD has proliferated during the past decade, especially during the past two years. Still, many publications on the topic lack scientific merit. This study utilized a quasi-experimental, single-subject, multiple-group, time-series design to investigate whether telepractice SLP services are at least as effective as the traditional, face-to-face delivery model.
Twenty-one students with autism spectrum disorder were included in this study. Additionally, 22 speech-language pathology graduate students and four SLP school professionals assisted in conducting this research. This investigation was organized into a two-phase research design (AB and BA) whereas phase A corresponded to intervention services being delivered using telepractice and phase B corresponded to the same intervention services being delivered on- site. Students were assigned to either Group 1 (AB) or Group 2 (BA). The participants in this study were treated individually and outcome data were aggregated into a final summary of treatment outcomes. Outcome data for each student included percent accuracy achieved on IEP goals as well as percent assistance required in working on respective IEP goals.
For all 21 participants, change over time was examined through single-subject graphs which display composite percent accuracy and assistance throughout both intervention phases. Visual analysis of the data reveals that many participants showed no notable difference in percent accuracy achieved between telepractice and on-site services, but that most students appeared to require less assistance when participating in telepractice services. For a subset of 15 participants, summary statistics and paired samples t-tests were calculated to determine mean differences in student performance for percent accuracy and percent assistance for each mode of service delivery. Paired samples t-tests revealed that there was no difference in students’ response accuracy to treatment stimuli between the intervention conditions. However, paired samples t-tests supported the finding that telepractice services do not require the clinician to provide students with as much assistance as needed on-site. Additionally, results from satisfaction surveys completed by participants suggested that telepractice is a socially valid treatment delivery for students with ASD. Overall, results from this study suggest that telepractice services are an effective alternative to in-person SLP services. This finding has positive implications for clinical decision making and treatment planning for individuals with ASD.
Pioneering of Antibody-Assisted Structure-Based Drug Discovery for PD-L1

description: The principle of antibody-assisted drug discovery aims to use a diverse panel of single domain antibodies (VHH) to identify rare conformational states and/or novel allosteric sites that could modulate function, which may facilitate the discovery of new therapeutics. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a key immune regulatory protein that interacts with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), leading to T-cell suppression. Whilst this interaction is key in self-tolerance, cancer cells evade the immune system by overexpressing PD-L1. Inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway with standard monoclonal antibodies has proven a highly effective cancer treatment, however, limitations remain in patient response and off-target toxicity. The work reported in this thesis aimed to use antibody-assisted drug discovery applied to PD-L1 using heavy chain only antibodies (VHH). A diverse panel of VHHs specific against either the functional (D1) or membrane proximal (D2) domain of PD-L1 were identified and characterised. The panel of VHHs identified in this work demonstrated affinities of 0.7 nM to 8.3 μM, with all anti-PD-L1 D1 VHHs being completely inhibitory. The binding site for the VHHs on PD-L1 was determined using NMR chemical shift perturbation mapping and revealed a common binding surface encompassing the PD-1 binding site for the anti-PD-L1 D1 VHHs. Crystal structures of two representative VHHs in complex with PD-L1 revealed unique binding modes. In contrast, the anti-PD-L1 D2 VHHs demonstrated a range of binding sites. In addition, the binding site of a second functional partner of PD-L1, CD80 was determined using NMR chemical shift perturbation mapping experiments and revealed that CD80 and PD-1 shared a highly overlapping binding site on PD-L1. Comparison of the CD80 and PD-1 binding sites on PD-L1 enabled the identification of a potential antibody binding region able to confer specificity for the inhibition of PD-1 binding only, with potential therapeutic benefits.

Herter Gallery’s 1600 sq. ft space is utilized in full for this project. The work in both galleries evaluates systems of categorization in light of their power to foster or discourage kinship within overlapping local, global and ecological communities. While the West Gallery uses my own multi-racial American genealogy to challenge the authority of historical and autobiographical origins, the East gallery uses manipulations of scale to emphasize the overlooked and ungovernable ways non-human forms of life frustrate our constant attempts at establishing a stable hierarchy of biological relations.

description: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new imaging modality which draws much attention due to its high sensitivity and spatial resolution. The spatial information encoded using a field free line (FFL) exhibit better sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio compared to field free point (FFP) scanning. In this study, we investigate different reconstruction methods for MPI image based on system matrix and FFL scanning using simulation data. Our results show that existing reconstructed methods are influenced by particle size, noise, iteration coefficient, and trajectory density. We evaluate the weighting iterative method and the results are shown with a phantom. This work bridges the gap between simulation and measurement experimental work by demonstrating the feasibility of reconstructing 2D images using a simulated MPI system matrix and FFL.

description: In the device-independent approach to quantum information theory, quantum systems are regarded as black boxes which, given an input (the measurement setting), return an output (the measurement result). These boxes are then treated regardless of their actual internal working. In this paper, we develop SWAP, a theoretical concept which, in combination with the tool of semi-definite methods for the characterization of quantum correlations, allows us to estimate physical properties of the black boxes from the observed measurement statistics. We find that the SWAP tool provides bounds orders of magnitude better than previously-known techniques (e.g.: for a CHSH violation larger than 2.57, SWAP predicts a singlet fidelity greater than 70%). This method also allows us to deal with hitherto intractable cases such as robust device-independent self-testing of non-maximally entangled two-qutrit states in the CGLMP scenario (for which Jordan's Lemma does not apply) and the device-independent certification of entangled measurements. We further apply the SWAP method to relate nonlocal correlations to work extraction and quantum dimensionality, hence demonstrating that this tool can be used to study a wide variety of properties relying on the sole knowledge of accessible statistics.

description: Terrestrial analogues are often investigated to get insights into the geological processes occurring on other planetary bodies. Due to its thickness and petrological similarities, the pyroxenitic layer of the 120m-thick magmatic pile Theo’s Flow (Archean Abitibi greenstone belt Ontario, Canada), has always been regarded as the terrestrial analogue for Martian nakhlites. However, its origin and cooling history and, as a consequence those of nakhlites, have always been a matter of vigorous debate. Did this lava flow originate from a single magmatic event similar to those supposed to occur on Mars or do the different units derive from multiple eruptions? We demonstrate, by a combination of geothermometric constraints on augite single crystals and numerical simulations, that Theo’s Flow has been formed by multiple magma emplacements that occurred at different times. This discovery supports the idea that the enormous lava flows with similar compositions observed on Mars could be the result of a process where low viscosity lavas are emplaced during multiple eruptions. This has profound implications for understanding the multiscale mechanisms of lava flow emplacement on Earth and other planetary bodies.

description: Vertex clustering in a stochastic blockmodel graph has wide applicability and has been the subject of extensive research. In thispaper, we provide a short proof that the adjacency spectral embedding can be used to obtain perfect clustering for the stochastic blockmodel and the degree-corrected stochastic blockmodel. We also show an analogous result for the more general random dot product graph model.

description: We examine the prospects for measuring the \gaga branching fraction of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass of 120 GeV at the future TESLA linear \ee collider, assuming an integrated luminosity of 1 ab$^{-1}$ and center-of-mass energies of 350 GeV and 500 GeV. The Higgs boson is produced in association with a fermion pair via the Higgsstrahlung process \ee $\to ZH$, with $Z \to$ \qq or \nn, or the WW fusion reaction $e^+e^- \to \nu_e \bar{\nu_e} H$. A relative uncertainty on BF(\hgg) of~16% can be achieved in unpolarized \ee collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=~500 GeV, while for $\sqrt{s}$=~350 GeV the expected precision is slightly poorer. With appropriate initial state polarizations $\Delta$BF(\hgg)/BF(\hgg) can be improved to 10%. If this measurement is combined with the expected error for the total Higgs width, a precision of 10% on the \gaga Higgs boson partial width appears feasible.

description: In this paper, we describe an algorithm for sensor network localization (SNL) that proceeds by dividing the whole network into smaller subnetworks, then localizes them in parallel using some fast and accurate algorithm, and finally registers the localized subnetworks in a global coordinate system. We demonstrate that this divide-and-conquer algorithm can be used to leverage existing high-precision SNL algorithms to large-scale networks, which could otherwise only be applied to small-to-medium sized networks. The main contribution of this paper concerns the final registration phase. In particular, we consider a least-squares formulation of the registration problem (both with and without anchor constraints) and demonstrate how this otherwise non-convex problem can be relaxed into a tractable convex program. We provide some preliminary simulation results for large-scale SNL demonstrating that the proposed registration algorithm (together with an accurate localization scheme) offers a good tradeoff between run time and accuracy.

description: Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to synthesize what is known about mental health advanced practice nurses’ practice in the school-based setting and the outcomes related to their practice. Introduction: Mental health disorders in persons younger than 24 years old cost approximately 247 billion dollars annually, making it a notable burden to the health care industry. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death from ages 10 to 34 in the United States. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider studies that include advanced practice nurses specializing in psychiatry/mental health, who are in the process of obtaining a degree in mental health, or those who have received training to treat persons with mental health disorders. The core concept of this review is the practice of these advanced practice nurses and the outcomes reported with their practice. Studies conducted in primary or secondary school-based healthcare settings in any geographic location will be considered for inclusion. Methods: The databases to be searched include MEDLINE (Pubmed), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), and Embase (Elsevier). Sources of unpublished studies and gray literature include Web of Science (Clarviate Analytics), ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest), and Mednar (Mednar.com). Articles published in English will be included with no date limit applied. Two independent reviewers will perform retrieval and review of full-text studies and data extraction. The results will be presented in diagrammatic or tabular format with a narrative summary.

description: Using the gauge-gravity duality, we argue that for a certain class of out-of-equilibrium steady-state systems in contact with a thermal background at a given temperature, the macroscopic physics can be captured by an effective thermodynamic description. The steady-state is obtained by applying a constant electric field that results in a stationary current flow. Within holography, we consider generic probe systems where an open string equivalence principle and an open string metric govern the effective thermodynamics. This description comes equipped with an effective temperature, which is larger than the background temperature, and a corresponding effective entropy. For conformal or scale-invariant theories, certain scaling behaviours follow immediately. In general, in the large electric field limit, this effective temperature is also observed to obey generic relations with various physical parameters in the system.
