Riethia

description: Riethia
- Fifteen male specimens of a genus from the putative tribe Pseudochironomini were collected; this genus is almost certainly Riethia, but there is a small chance they could be Manoa. Males of the two genera cannot at this time be separated utilizing morphological characters; only females and pupae may be separated at the generic level (Jacobsen & Perry 2002; Trivinho-Strixino et al. 2009). I’m calling the Zurquí specimens Riethia based on their close resemblance to R. truncatocaudata (Edwards) as redescribed in Trivinho-Strixino et al. (2009) and R. manauara Neubern, Trivinho-Strixino & Silva (Neubern et al. 2011); the medial apices of the inferior volsellae of all three species have large, flattened, apically pectinate setae directed mediad (and dorsad in R. truncatocaudata). Such setae are unknown in Manoa. Note that the legs of the Zurquí specimens are unbanded and there are other differences, especially in the superior volsella; thus, they do not represent R. truncatocaudata. Likewise, differences in the genitalia indicate that R. sp. ZUR-1 is not conspecific with R. manauara.

Modeling impacts of climate change on air quality and associated human exposures

description: Climate change critically affects both the atmospheric processes involved in the dynamics of air pollution systems and biogenic emissions including tree and grass pollens and fungal spores. Synergistic action of allergenic pollen with air pollutants like ozone and particulate matter has been reported as potentially exacerbating the symptoms of allergies. This dissertation investigated the spatiotemporal distributions predicted for allergenic pollen and ground-level ozone across the contiguous United States (CONUS) in 2004 and 2047 reflecting the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 scenario, and estimated human exposures to those pollutants. In addition, Machine Learning (ML) methods were evaluated and applied to local-scale prediction of airborne allergenic pollen concentration. It was estimated that ragweed pollen season will start earlier and last longer in 2047 under the RCP 8.5 scenario across the CONUS, with increasing average pollen concentrations in most regions. The response of the oak pollen season varies across the nine climate regions of the CONUS, with the largest increase in pollen concentration occurring in the Northeast region. The oak pollen season length was estimated to shorten by 1-2 days for most regions, except for the Southeast and Southwest regions.Analyses of observed ragweed pollen counts and ozone concentrations from 1990 to 2010 indicate that the ragweed pollen season started earlier at 76% of the monitoring stations, and the annual average number of co-occurrence of ragweed and ozone exceedances (daily maximum 8-hour average ozone > 70 ppb) ranged between 0 to 17 days. Co-occurrences of ragweed pollen and ozone exceedances under climate change were investigated based on simulated ragweed pollen and ozone concentrations. Although the co-occurrence of ragweed pollen and ozone exceedances is scattered across the CONUS, it influences a remarkable fraction of the population. Inhalation exposures to ragweed pollen are higher outdoors than indoors, with significant correlation with pollen concentration. Males tend to have higher inhalation exposures to ragweed pollen and ozone than females. The inhalation exposure to ragweed pollen and ozone per unit body weight decreases with age. Prediction of ragweed pollen concentration at the local scale, based on meteorological factors and previous ragweed pollen observations, was conducted using ML models including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, XGBoost, Neural Network, Decision Trees, and a Bayesian Generalized Linear Model. The model parameters were optimized and the final models were evaluated using a repeated 10-fold cross-validation. Random Forest and XGBoost models outperformed other models, and pollen concentration of the previous day is the most important predictor variable for both models.

description: We obtain an adaptation of Dade's Conjecture and Späth's Character Triple Conjecture to unipotent characters of simple, simply connected finite reductive groups of type $\bf{A}$, $\bf{B}$ and $\bf{C}$. In particular, this gives a precise formula for counting the number of unipotent characters of each defect $d$ in any Brauer $\ell$-block $B$ in terms of local invariants associated to $e$-local structures. This provides a geometric version of the local-global principle in representation theory of finite groups. A key ingredient in our proof is the construction of certain parametrisations of unipotent generalised Harish-Chandra series that are compatible with isomorphisms of character triples.
Doing identity: a social pattern analysis exploring the process of identity construction and maintenance

Year: 2019

description: Anchored in the tradition of symbolic-interactionism, this project explores identity as a social construct created and maintained by individuals through the continuous identity work they perform in conjunction with others; an accomplishment realized through “doing.” While scholars have explored this notion of doing identity across a host of substantive areas that interrogate a diverse array of identities, much of this work has been specialized, often focusing exclusively on one particular identity. These type-by-type analyses have contributed to a vast, rich body of literature on the subject while leaving the door open for insights best gleaned through a broader approach to the study of identity, one that is not restricted to the consideration of one particular identity but rather, one that draws comparisons across a diverse range of identities. Applying this more expansive multicontextual approach, my project is designed to contribute to a more complete understanding of the topic as I explore how doing identity operates as a generalizable, generic social process. Through forty-eight in-depth, qualitative interviews conducted among individuals connected to diverse identities (i.e., chronic illness, parent of exceptional child, fan and religious leader), my work utilizes social pattern analysis to identify generic patterns of doing identity that transcend identity type. My research demonstrates that, regardless of identity affiliation, individuals construct, sustain and experience identities in similar ways. I identify two central concepts that are part of this generic process of doing -- identity routines and identity club membership. As part of affiliation with any identity, individuals perform identity routines, where they coordinate and implement the components of identity work in support of their particular identities; regardless of identity type, these routines are characterized by a range of intensity that reflects the investment, restraint and visibility associated with individuals’ identity work. With identity affiliation, individuals also become members of identity clubs, and the experience of club membership is similar for identity workers regardless of their particular club affiliation; individuals are exposed to similar hallmarks of identity as they experience member orientation, have responsibilities as club members, take advantage of club benefits and face potential membership drawbacks. By illuminating this generic process of identity work, my work enhances our understanding of the social aspect of identity as it demonstrates that as identity workers, individuals share powerful connections through the implementation of standard identity routines and experiences of identity.

description: We investigate the maximal size of an increasing subset among points randomly sampled from certain probability densities. Kerov and Vershik's celebrated result states that the largest increasing subset among $N$ uniformly random points on $[0,1]^2$ has size asymptotically $2\sqrt{N}$. More generally, the order $Θ(\sqrt{N})$ still holds if the sampling density is continuous. In this paper we exhibit two sufficient conditions on the density to obtain a growth rate equivalent to any given power of $N$ greater than $\sqrt{N}$, up to logarithmic factors. Our proofs use methods of slicing the unit square into appropriate grids, and investigating sampled points appearing in each box.

We are what comes next: organizing economic democracy in the Bronx

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Economic democracy is a framework for the cooperative configuration of society, from daily interpersonal relational practice to institutional governance, to a reconstructed set of state-market relationships and political economy. As such an overarching framework,economic democracy has many movement mothers. It is politically pluralistic and even ambiguous.This dissertation examines the work of the Bronx Cooperative Development Initiative, founded by community organizers in the Bronx in response to ongoing frustration with the process and results of planning, housing, and economic development theory andpractice in the Bronx dating back decades. Rather than pursuing a strategy of cooperative enterprise development, the group is pursuing a strategy of creating a community enterprise network. This focuses on the incubation of institutional infrastructure to shift the Bronx political and economically towards economic democracy. These projects envision capacities of community-led planning and policy development, high-road small business development, advanced manufacturing and digital fabrication, education and training, as well as civic action coordination and a fund for capitalizing, investing in, and sustaining the network of institutions in the borough.Through semi-structured interviews, document analysis and participant observation, this dissertation seeks to understand how this group of people understand and define economic in this case, and secondly, how does this group of people propose to operationalize that vision of economic democracy in the Bronx?Through a multi-year embedded research process, the dissertation sketches out several core themes for how economic democracy is being developed here as a framework for shared or collective ownership of economic assets and their democratic management.This working definition arises from, challenges, and is applicable but not confined to, urban community organizing and economic development practice. It both intersects with and parallels from global anti-capitalist development frameworks and movements. Core themes arise in regard to challenging assumptions and practices of community organizing, anchor institution procurement initiatives, cooperative enterprise development, scale and scalability, and the construction of durable urban governing regimes. In the final instance, rather than a cooperative enterprise development network, BCDI’s work is seen as attempting to construct an “equity regime” for economic democracy, drawing on the lessons and failures of the progressive cities movement. This dissertation contributes to literatures of equity planning, community organizing, economic democracy, the challenges of and obstacles to constructing durable political and economic power for people of color in the United States, community-labor coalitions and alliances, and freedom struggle in the United States.

Stenochironomus

description: Stenochironomus
- Ten species of Stenochironomus were collected, only one of which was positively identified as a previously described species: S. nudipupa is known from Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Venezuela (Borkent 1984; Reis et al. 2013). A single specimen of S. cf. varius appears to be S. varius but lacks any coloration on its fore femur; it does have a darkened fore coxa and trochanter, and may represent a slight color variation of the species. Since Borkent’s (1984) excellent revision of Stenochironomus and its allies, numerous additional species have been described from the Neotropics; Dantas et al. (2016) provided the most recent key for Neotropical Stenochironomus. Stenochironomus sp. ZUR–1 (six specimens) is similar to S. impendens Borkent, but has a different abdominal color pattern; S. sp. ZUR–2 (one specimen) has a dark, broad anal point, but has different thoracic and abdominal color patterns from any described species; S. sp. ZUR–3 (16 specimens) will key to S. sebastiao Andersen et al. (Andersen et al. 2008) in Dantas et al. (2016) but has a shorter, thicker superior volsella and other hypopygial differences; S. sp. ZUR–4 (five specimens) and S. sp. ZUR–5 (one specimen) somewhat resemble S. leptopus (Kieffer) but differ in coloration and genitalic structures; S. sp. ZUR–6 (two specimens) is entirely pale like S. palliaculeatus Borkent, but has a stouter superior volsella; S. sp. ZUR-7 (two specimens) has an dark thorax like S. varius, but has numerous darkened abdominal tergites; and S. sp. ZUR–8 (two specimens) is unusual in having a globose/semi-pediform superior volsella.

description: A solar sail is one of the most promising space exploration system because of its theoretically infinite specific impulse using solar radiation pressure (SRP). Recently, some researchers proposed "transformable spacecrafts" that can actively reconfigure their body configurations with actuatable joints. The transformable spacecrafts are expected to greatly enhance orbit and attitude control capability due to its high redundancy in control degree of freedom if they are used like solar sails. However, its large number of input poses difficulties in control, and therefore, previous researchers imposed strong constraints to limit its potential control capabilities. This paper addresses novel attitude control techniques for the transformable spacecrafts under SRP. The authors have constructed two proposed methods; one of those is a joint angle optimization to acquire arbitrary SRP force and torque, and the other is a momentum damping control driven by joint angle actuation. Our proposed methods are formulated in general forms and applicable to any transformable spacecraft that has front faces that can dominantly receive SRP on each body. Validity of the proposed methods are confirmed by numerical simulations. This paper contributes to making most of the high control redundancy of transformable spacecrafts without consuming any expendable propellants, which is expected to greatly enhance orbit and attitude control capability.

description: Arboreal categories, introduced by Abramsky and Reggio, axiomatise categories with tree-shaped objects. These categories provide a categorical language for formalising behavioural notions such as simulation, bisimulation, and resource-indexing. In this paper, we strengthen the axioms of an arboreal category to exclude `branching' behaviour, obtaining a notion of `linear arboreal category'. We then demonstrate that every arboreal category satisfying a linearisability condition has an associated linear arboreal subcategory related via an adjunction. This identifies the relationship between the pebble-relation comonad, of Montacute and Shah, and the pebbling comonad, of Abramsky, Dawar, and Wang, and generalises it further. As another outcome of this new framework, we obtain a linear variant of the arboreal category for modal logic. By doing so we recover different linear-time equivalences between transition systems as instances of their categorical definitions. We conclude with new preservation and characterisation theorems relating trace inclusion and trace equivalence with different linear fragments of modal logic.

description: Bombus vestalis obenbergeri (May, 1944)
B. vestalis obenbergeri is quite common in inland Spanish areas and has been recently found in the Pyrenees (two individuals), at 1730 and 2120 m of altitude (Fig. 7), on Acinos alpinum (L.) and Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. In the past, 19 individuals (Table 2) were recorded there (Ornosa 1984, Castro 1989, 1996).
This Iberian subspecies was assessed as Least Concern in the Red Book of Andalusian Invertebrates (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2008).

description: In the recent years, the interest in developing self driving cars, autonomous drones and connected cars skyrockets. That is leading to the need to develop a cloud messaging system with close to real time capabilities that enable vehicles share information to each other in order to help them improve their navigation. Although, there are many popular existing cloud messaging and processing solutions, these engines introduce diverse characteristics and runtime architectures, so there is a need to analyze not only the resources they require but also the execution time they manage to achieve. The complexity of the task, is also affected by execution parameters of the underlying algorithm. The outcome of such analysis will provide us with the means to understand the advantages and disadvantages of every execution engine under specific circumstances, and also let us deploy user policies in cloud environments that relate to the cost and the time restraints of the executions. For this purpose, we must conduct an experimental analysis on those engines through a profiling process, where we will measure the usage of the resources as well as the overall execution time. The results of this process will enable us to construct static predictive models that could simulate the performance of the engines for varying execution parameters.In this thesis we used Kafka as our distributed messaging system and measured the communication between cars. We choose Kafka instead of other messaging systems due to its reliability, scalability, ease of use, proven success, and popularity across the big data community.Furthermore, we used Apache Spark as the real-time processing engine. We chose Spark because it is easy to integrate it with Kafka, for its scalability, reliability, ease of use and its popularity. Moreover, the Machine Learning library of Spark is widely used. In order to analyze the suitability of the above system we developed mini applications that simulate real-world scenarios to analyze the performance of the system. We run experiments using different settings and different workloads and measure performance that help us understand the behavior of the system.

description: Nuclear spin hyperpolarization enables real-time observation of metabolism and intermolecular interactions in vivo. 1-13C-Pyruvate is the leading hyperpolarized tracer currently under evaluation in several clinical trials as a promising molecular imaging agent. Still, the quest for a simple, fast, and efficient hyperpolarization technique is ongoing. Here, we describe that continuous, weak irradiation in the audio-frequency range of the 13C spin at 121 μT magnetic field (\sim twiceEarth\apos s field) enables spin order transfer from parahydrogen to 13C magnetization of 1-13C-pyruvate. These so-called LIGHT-SABRE pulses couple nuclear spin states of parahydrogen and pyruvate via the J-coupling network of reversibly exchanging Ir-complexes. Using \sim 100% parahydrogen at ambient pressure, we polarized 51 mM of 1-13C-pyruvate in the presence of 5.1 mM Ir-complex continuously and repeatedly to a polarization of 1.1% averaged over free and catalyst-bound pyruvate. The experiments were conducted at -8°C), where almost exclusively bound pyruvate was observed, corresponding to an estimated 11% polarization on bound pyruvate. The obtained hyperpolarization levels closely match those obtained via SABRE-SHEATH under otherwise identical conditions. The creation of three different types of spin orders was observed: transverse 13C magnetization along the applied magnetic field, 13C z-magnetization along the main field B_0, and 13C-1H zz-spin-order. With a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) for detection, we found that the generated spin orders result from tiny 1H-13C J-coupling interactions, which are not visible even with our narrow linewidth below 0.3 Hz.

Bombus flavidus

description: Bombus flavidus Eversmann, 1852
Bombus flavidus is a boreo-alpine species, distributed in the north of the Eurasian continent, Scandinavia and Siberia, where the nominal subspecies spreads. It is the social parasite of B. jonellus, but in the Pyrenees it shows preference for B. pyrenaeus and secondarily by B. monticola (Løken 1984, Rasmont 1988). There is a double threat to B. flavidus since the two main host species have small and declining populations (Table 2).
It was assessed as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List of European Bees (Rasmont et al. 2015) and as Endangered (EN) in the IUCN Spanish Red List (Ornosa & Torres 2009), where it is locally less abundant (Table 2). In the Pyrenean fauna, it is represented by a unique subspecies:

Oxidative stress and epigenetics in diabetic nephropathy: the potential of dietary phytochemicals
Creators: name: Cheng, David C.

Year: 2019

description: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the United States. Hyperglycemia and hemodynamic aberrations contribute to DN. But growing evidence identifies oxidative stress, inflammation, and epigenetics as playing important roles in the pathogenesis of DN. To ameliorate DN, strategies to mitigate excessive oxidative stress and inflammation or alter epigenetics have been proposed. One strategy involves the activation of Nrf2, a transcription factor that regulates the antioxidant response. Nrf2 has been discovered to play a protective role against DN and activation of Nrf2 can lower oxidative stress and inflammation in many different disease models. Development of Nrf2 activators for treating DN have been tested in clinical studies and showed promising results. However, their development has been hampered by increased adverse events. As an alternative, dietary phytochemicals have been studied as safer modalities for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Our group has investigated the use of a novel phytochemical, MIC-1, an isothiocyanate found in Moringa oleifera, and its potential in DN. MIC-1 upregulated the Nrf2 antioxidant response in HepG2C8 cells to increase antioxidant genes in addition to reducing inflammation in RAW264.7 cells. In an in vitro HK-2 cell culture model of DN, MIC-1 reduced high glucose induced oxidative stress and reverse activation of the upstream regulator, TGFβ1, a key driver in DN development and progression. Though oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles in DN, epigenetics have also been identified to contribute to DN. One type of epigenetic modification, DNA methylation, plays an important role in gene regulation of many diseases including cancer and diabetes. Our study showed that in an in vivo model of early DN, DNA methylation alterations can influence gene expression that contribute towards driving DN progression. Evidence for use of dietary phytochemicals found commonly in over-the-counter medicines in human are limited. To assess the potential of dietary phytochemicals in humans, a small study on a single dose of oral curcumin in healthy human volunteers was performed. Parent curcumin was not detectable in subjects’ plasma. However, levels of curcumin metabolite were detected along with increases in antioxidant genes and decreases in epigenetic modifying enzymes. Collectively, dietary phytochemicals modulate antioxidant and epigenetic genes that could contribute to ameliorating DN. The long-term goal for this research is to understand the epigenetic events involved in DN and to develop safer alternatives using dietary phytochemicals such as isothiocyanates and curcumin to influence oxidative stress, inflammation, and epigenetic alterations.

Tanytarsus

description: Tanytarsus
- Tanytarsus was by far the most common tanytarsine collected, with 140 specimens representing nine species. The majority did not fit descriptions of any known species, except T. cf. capaira (two specimens) resembles T. capaira described by Trivinho-Strixino & Strixino (2007) from Brazil, but appears a bit different; T. sp. ZUR-8 (one specimen) is also similar to T. cf. caipira but is much smaller. Tanytarsus sp. ZUR-5 (16 specimens) is similar to T. cotopaxi Giłka & Zakrzewska, described from Ecuador (Giłka & Zakrzewska 2013). The majority of specimens were T. sp. ZUR-1 (47 specimens), including an intersex specimen; 23 specimens of T. sp. ZUR-2; 34 specimens of T. sp. ZUR-3; 14 specimens of T. sp. ZUR-6; and one specimen of T. sp. ZUR-7.

Neural stem cell transplantation to treat lumbosacral spinal cord injury
Creators: name: Chiang, Ning

description: A third of human spinal cord injuries (SCIs) involve the lumbosacral spinal cord (LSC), but few studies are on LSC injury (LSCI) and no functional treatments are available to date. Unlike cervical or thoracic SCI that damages primarily the fiber tracts, LSCI disrupts both fiber tracts and neurons comprising the motor centers for walking, bladder, bowel and sexual functions. Thus, treatments for LSCI need not only axonal regeneration but also neuronal replacement. The ideal therapy is to transplant cells that have neuronal potential that can replace the damaged or lost neurons after LSCI. Initially, I cultured neural stem cells (NSCs) isolated from the subventricular zone (SVZ) of neonatal Fischer 344 rats and other cell types as the sources for transplantation. However, those cells either remained as NSCs or produced astrocytes instead of neurons after transplantation. Neither lithium treatment nor silencing of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene increased the percentage of neurons in culture. Silencing PTEN reduced neurons and produced more oligodendrocytes. Therefore, I transplanted human induced-pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (iPSC-NSCs) into immune-compromised Rowett nude (RNU) rats after LSCI. These human iPSC-NSCs survived, migrated and grew long processes 10 weeks after transplantation, showing the potential of human iPSC-NSCs as a future therapy for LSCI. However, the transplants did not improve functional recovery, and the reasons why will be discussed.
The Saturnalian state: Carnival and the survival of the Volk, 1890-1939

description: This dissertation explores how people mobilized Carnival in different ways in Germany from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century, as Carnival, its forms, applications, and meanings changed dramatically alongside the flux of German history at this time. Carnival was a set of practices and symbols that became part of a city holiday through the efforts of citizens and municipal leaders, in cities like Cologne, within regions with predominantly Catholic populations like the Rhineland. But people elsewhere also took up practices and symbols under the mantle of “Carnival” at this time, as was the case in cities like Berlin, within heavily Protestant regions like Prussia. Indeed at different points within Carnival’s history during this period, a highly diverse spectrum of people in Germany—bourgeois Carnivalists, religious moralists, Social Democratic statesmen, Rhenish separatists, French, British, and Belgian occupation authorities, queer communities, women of all demographics, and members of the far right, among many others—connected Carnival to an equally diverse spectrum of agendas and aspirations: civic pride, commercial success, triumph in the First World War, autonomy in the Rhineland, social unrest, international diplomacy, the reconstruction of Germany, moral health, community formation, the fight against internal enemies, and ultimately the strength of a German race. My principle argument then is that Carnival was a set of practices that different groups instrumentalized in diverse ways, which when studied together crystalize important themes in German history of this period. A study of Carnival over time in Germany is significant for how it demonstrates dramatic change over time. It also reveals how consistently and broadly Carnival was connected to danger, anxiety, and even violence within society across the German regimes of the nineteenth to the early twentieth century. This scholarship is also novel though because it brings together themes and contexts historians of modern Germany wouldn’t normally think about together and invites them to think about these topics anew. Indeed Carnival opens up certain larger themes in German history and enables historians to look at them with fresh eyes. By bringing together these disparate cultures, this dissertation often brings out the spaces of overlap between them, as Carnival repeatedly pointed to issues around identity and community membership, public order and security, morality and respectability, and commercialization and economic issues. In this way then Carnival both displayed important debates and perspectives about central issues in German society, but also took part in the maintenance of these issues during several critical moments in modern German history. Carnival is thus a powerful interpretive tool for socio-cultural battles in modern Germany, a prism through which to view some of the most important issues in Germany during these periods as they evolved over time.
