description: This dissertation examines the shape, objectives, and fate of the anti-immigrationist movement from 1955 to 1981. During this period, groups and individuals operated within the confines of the British political system to advocate for the restriction of non-white immigration to the UK and also to minimize the perceived negative impact these immigrants were having upon the social and economic fabric of the UK. The study argues that by attaching their anti-immigrationist objections to existing political concerns, including anxieties about the welfare state, and by advocating for anti-immigrationist policies and legislation within the confines of established techniques of political activism and protest, anti-immigrationists were far more successful than they might otherwise have been, and indeed more successful than academic studies and popular opinion have portrayed them. However, their reliance upon a language of active citizenship and genuine democracy to justify their arguments to restrict immigration proved to be less popular with elite politicians and senior civil servants than a language of inclusivity and civil rights. As such, while much of the substantive legislation which anti-immigrationists advocated for was implemented at the highest level of government, the anti-immigrationist ethos, and the language in which they expressed their views, was not adopted by these powerful individuals, resulting in a foreclosure and minimization of the role of anti-immigrationists in agitating for the implementation of this legislation and body of policy. Furthermore, the decline of the anti-immigrationist movement was less the result of the success of the left in persuading the right to abandon its commitment to anti-immigrationism than of the success of the extreme right in claiming anti-immigrationism as its own, to the dismay of the more moderate right and centre-right.

description: Background Herbivore-induced changes in plant traits can cause indirect interactions between spatially and/or temporally separated herbivores that share the same host plant. Feeding modes of the herbivores is one of the major factors that influence the outcome of such interactions. Here, we tested whether the effects of transient aboveground herbivory for seven days by herbivores of different feeding guilds on tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) alters their interaction with spatially as well as temporally separated belowground herbivores. Results The transient aboveground herbivory by both chewing caterpillars (Spodoptera exigua) and sucking aphids (Myzus persicae) had significant impacts on plant traits such as plant growth, resource allocation and phytohormone contents. While the changes in plant traits did not affect the overall performance of the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) in terms of total number of galls, we found that the consequences of aboveground herbivory for the plants can be altered by the subsequent nematode herbivory. For example, plants that had hosted aphids showed compensatory growth when they were later challenged by nematodes, which was not apparent in plants that had hosted only aphids. In contrast, plants that had been fed by S. exigua larvae did not show such compensatory growth even when challenged by nematodes. Conclusion The results suggest that the earlier aboveground herbivory can modify plant responses to subsequent herbivores, and such modifications may depend upon identity and/or feeding modes of the aboveground herbivores.
title: Analysis and Design of Virtual Reality Visualization for a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) CAD Tool

description: Since the proliferation of CAD tools, visualizations have gained importance.. They provide invaluable visual feedback at the time of design, regardless whether it is fbi civil engineering or electronic circuit design-layout. Typically dynamic visualizations are produced in a two phase process: the calculation of positions and rendering of the image and its presentation as an animated video clip. This is a slow process that is unsuitable fbr interactive CAD visualizations, because the former two require finite element analysis Faster hardware eases the problem, but does not overcome it, because the algorithms are still too slow. Our MEMS CAD project works towards methods and techniques that are suitable for interactive design, with faster methods. The purpose of this PhD thesis is to contribute to the design of an interactive virtual prototyping of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) This research comprises the analysis of the visualization techniques that are appropriate for these tasks and identifying the difficulties that need to be overcome to be able to offer a MEMS design engineer a meaningful and interactive CAD design environment Such a VR-CAD system is being built in our research group with many participants in the team. Two particular problems are being addressed by presenting algorithms for truthful VR visualization methods: one is for displaying objects that are different in size on the computer screen. The other is modelling unsynchronized motion dynamics, that is different objects moving simultaneously at very high and vety low speed, by proposing stroboscopic simulation to present their dynamics on the screen They require specific size scaling and time scaling and filtering. It is these issues and challenges which make the design of a MEMS CAD tool different from other CAD tools. In the thesis I present algorithms for displaying animated virtual reality for MEMS virtual prototyping in a physically truthful way by using the simulated stroboscopic illumination to filter animated images to make it possible to show unsynchronized motion.. A scaling method was used to show or hide objects which cannot be shown simultaneously on the computer screen because of their large difference in size. The visualization of objects being designed and their animations is done with much consideration of visual perception and computer capability, which is rising attention, but not too often mentioned in the visualization domain.
title: Developing Peptide-Based Anticancer Therapeutics by Targeting Human Methionine Aminopeptidase-2 and Delivering Cisplatin in a Cell Type-Specific Manner

subject: Human methionine aminopeptidase 2

description: Cancer is a leading cause of deaths in the world. Cytotoxic drugs, target-specific drugs and peptide drugs are major types of the anticancer drugs. Cisplatin, a cytotoxic anticancer drug, is the most common platinum-based chemotherapeutic drug used in clinics. However, this drug has fatal side effects because of its nonspecific toxicity. In this thesis I report the development of platinum (IV) prodrugs conjugated with cancercell-specific peptides and demonstrated its specificity, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects towards their respective target cancer cell lines. I further showed that similar to cisplatin (platinum (II) drug), the cell-specific cytotoxic mechanism of the new compounds is crosslinking of DNA. In addition to using peptide-conjugated small molecules for improving specificity, I developed peptide-based, anti-angiogenesis inhibitors for targeted therapy. Angiogenesis plays a key role in cancer growth, survival and metastasis. Clinically it has been shown that employing anti-angiogenesis inhibitors in combinational therapy with traditionally chemotherapeutic agents produce significantly better results. Human methionine aminopeptidase 2 (hMetAP2) removes N-terminal methionine (the start codon) from nascent allowing them to interact with the [alpha] subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2. It plays an active role in protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis. Thus, hMetAP2 has been an attractive drug target not only for cancers but also for chronic disorders such as agerelated macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, and type-2 diabetes. Using computational tools, I designed a self-derived structural disrupting peptide drug targeting hMetAP2. In this thesis I show that this peptide can specifically inhibit the activity of hMetAP2 but not those of other human methionine aminopeptidases (hMetAP1 or hMetAP1D) in extracts of breast carcinoma cells (MCF7 and SKBR3). The liposome-delivered peptide inhibits hMetAP2 by changing its conformational state according to semi-native pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and causes cell cycle arrest. The peptide delivered by either liposome or a cell-penetration peptide can inhibit cell proliferation, migration, and wound healing of both breast (MCF7) and colon (SW48, SW480) cancer cells with a lesser effect on non-neoplastic colon epithelial cells (FHC). Thus, the self-derived peptide from hMetAP2 could be useful as a new anti-angiogenesis agent for targeting cell growth and associated disorders.
Relation Network for Multi-label Aerial Image Classification

description: Multi-label classification plays a momentous role in perceiving intricate contents of an aerial image and triggers several related studies over the last years. However, most of them deploy few efforts in exploiting label relations, while such dependencies are crucial for making accurate predictions. Although an LSTM layer can be introduced to modeling such label dependencies in a chain propagation manner, the efficiency might be questioned when certain labels are improperly inferred. To address this, we propose a novel aerial image multi-label classification network, attention-aware label relational reasoning network. Particularly, our network consists of three elemental modules: 1) a label-wise feature parcel learning module, 2) an attentional region extraction module, and 3) a label relational inference module. To be more specific, the label-wise feature parcel learning module is designed for extracting high-level label-specific features. The attentional region extraction module aims at localizing discriminative regions in these features and yielding attentional label-specific features. The label relational inference module finally predicts label existences using label relations reasoned from outputs of the previous module. The proposed network is characterized by its capacities of extracting discriminative label-wise features in a proposal-free way and reasoning about label relations naturally and interpretably. In our experiments, we evaluate the proposed model on the UCM multi-label dataset and a newly produced dataset, AID multi-label dataset. Quantitative and qualitative results on these two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our model. To facilitate progress in the multi-label aerial image classification, the AID multi-label dataset will be made publicly available.

description: Free fermion system is the simplest quantum field theory which has the symmetry of Ding-Iohara-Miki algebra (DIM). DIM has S-duality symmetry, known as Miki automorphism which defines the transformation of generators. In this note, we introduce the second set of the fermionic basis (S-dual basis) which implement the duality transformation. It may be interpreted as the Fourier dual of the standard basis, and the inner product between the standard and the S-dual ones is proportional to the Hopf link invariant. We also rewrite the general topological vertex in the form of Awata-Feigin-Shiraishi intertwiner and show that it becomes more symmetric for the duality transformation.

description: A recursive Green's function technique is developed to calculate the spin-dependent conductance in mesoscopic structures. Using this technique, we study the spin-dependent electronic transport of quantum point contacts in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We observed that some oscillations in the `quantized' conductance are induced by the spin-orbit interaction, and indicated that the oscillations may stem from the spin-orbit coupling associated multiple reflections. It is also indicated that the 0.7 structure of the conductance observed in mesoscopic experiments would not stem from the spin-orbit interaction.

description: The High Frequency Coaxial Transformer (HFCT) has been successfully used in many areas. It has many benefits and advantages compared with other transformer products. Thus, demand for HFCT design and device development is increasing. Conventionally, all the related design procedures for the HFCT rely on the implementation of electromagnetic equations on paper. The device model needs to be manually drawn by an engineer and simulated with software. There is no existing software that can help the engineer to design the device and automatically build the model. On the other hand, the simulation and optimization for the device requires hardware resources, and a personal computer is limited in this regard. Even if the device is developed and the prototype is made, the device still needs to pass EMC testing in order to be labelled. However, many research groups and companies cannot afford to build an EMC lab. A solution is proposed to solve the above issues. The HF transformer design virtual laboratory is developed and tested. It is a computer-based system, which provides the following: 1. Computer software, which can be used to design, model, simulate and optimize a HF transformer device. It is based on computational electromagnetics and numerical geometric techniques. The engineer can use the software to adjust the device structure and obtain a FEM simulation result. 2. A cluster system, which can provide a high performance and high availability computing environment to support the transformer design software. It provides convenient services to the end-user, such as remote access, shared resources, collaborative work and parallel computing. 3. A 3D scanning system, which can pre-test the device before sending it to the EMC lab. It is a much cheaper system compared to building an EMC testing lab. Many case studies have been used to test the design virtual laboratory. The system successfully proves its capability in device design, simulation and testing. By using the system, the engineer can develop a reliable HF transformer device in a short development time period, compared with the conventional HF transformer device design method. Although, an experienced engineer can deliver a well-designed HF transformer as well. The advantage of the integrated HF transformer design laboratory is that, the system is not only provide design function, but also the modelling, simulation, optimization and measurement functions as well. It provides a convenient method to design a HF device from the sketch to the prototype.

description: In the present article we consider the problem of wave interaction with a partially immersed, but floating body. We assume that the motion of the body is prescribed. The general mathematical formulation for this problem is presented in the framework of a hierarchy of mathematical models. Namely, in this first part we formulate the problem at every hierarchical level. The special attention is payed to fully nonlinear and weakly dispersive models since they are most likely to be used in practice. For this model we have to consider separately the inner (under the body) and outer domains. Various approached to the gluing of solutions at the boundary is discussed as well. We propose several strategies which ensure the global conservation or continuity of some important physical quantities.

Subjects: subject: 400 Sprache::410 Linguistik

description: While there are languages that code a particular grammatical role (e.g. subject or direct object) in one and the same way across the board, many more languages code the same grammatical roles differentially. The variables which condition the differential argument marking (or DAM) pertain to various properties of the NP (such as animacy or definiteness) or to event semantics or various properties of the clause. While the main line of current research on DAM is mainly synchronic the volume tackles the diachronic perspective. The tenet is that the emergence and the development of differential marking systems provide a different kind of evidence for the understanding of the phenomenon. The present volume consists of 18 chapters and primarily brings together diachronic case studies on particular languages or language groups including e.g. Finno-Ugric, Sino-Tibetan and Japonic languages. The volume also includes a position paper, which provides an overview of the typology of different subtypes of DAM systems, a chapter on computer simulation of the emergence of DAM and a chapter devoted to the cross-linguistic effects of referential hierarchies on DAM.

description: We develop a method to calculate electronic transport properties through a mesoscopic scattering region in the presence of a series of time-periodic potentials. Using the method, the quantum charge pumping driven by time-periodic potentials is studied. Jumps in the pumped current are observed at the peak positions of the Wigner delay time. Our main results in both the weak pumping and strong pumping regimes are consistent with experimental results. More interestingly, we also observed the nonzero pumping at the phase difference phi=0 and addressed its relevance to the experimental result.

description: Using the recursive Green's function technique, we study the coherent electron conductance of a quantum point contact in the presence of a scanning probe microscope tip. Images of the coherent fringe inside a quantum point contact for different widths are obtained. It is found that the conductance of a specific channel is reduced while other channels are not affected as long as the tip is located at the positions correspending to that channel. Moreover, the coherent fringe is smoothed out by increasing the temperature or the voltage across the device. Our results are consistent with the experiments reported by Topinka et al.[Science 289, 2323 (2000)].

description: We investigate hybrid structures based on a bilayer quantum spin Hall system in proximity to an s-wave superconductor as a platform to mimic time-reversal symmetric topological superconductors. In this bilayer setup, the induced pairing can be of intra- or inter-layer type, and domain walls of those different types of pairing potentials host Kramers partners (time-reversal conjugate pairs) of Majorana bound states. Interestingly, we discover that such topological interfaces providing Majorana bound states can also be achieved in an otherwise homogeneous system by a spatially dependent inter-layer gate voltage. This gate voltage causes the relative electron densities of the two layers to vary accordingly which suppresses the inter-layer pairing in regions with strong gate voltage. We identify particular transport signatures (zero-bias anomalies) in a five-terminal setup that are uniquely related to the presence of Kramers pairs of Majorana bound states.

description: Given a C*-algebra A with a semicontinuous semifinite trace tau acting on the Hilbert space H, we define the family R of bounded Riemann measurable elements w.r.t. tau as a suitable closure, a la Dedekind, of A, in analogy with one of the classical characterizations of Riemann measurable functions, and show that R is a C*-algebra, and tau extends to a semicontinuous semifinite trace on R. Then, unbounded Riemann measurable operators are defined as the closed operators on H which are affiliated to A'' and can be approximated in measure by operators in R, in analogy with unbounded Riemann integration. Unbounded Riemann measurable operators form a tau-a.e. bimodule on R, denoted by R^, and such bimodule contains the functional calculi of selfadjoint elements of R under unbounded Riemann measurable functions. Besides, tau extends to a bimodule trace on R^. Type II_1 singular traces for C*-algebras can be defined on the bimodule of unbounded Riemann-measurable operators. Noncommutative Riemann integration, and singular traces for C*-algebras, are then used to define Novikov-Shubin numbers for amenable open manifolds, show their invariance under quasi-isometries, and prove that they are (noncommutative) asymptotic dimensions.

description: In this paper we study AdS-Schwarzschild black holes in four and five dimensions in dRGT minimally coupled to a cloud of strings and investigate the effects of this string cloud on the thermodynamics of the black holes. It is observed that the entropy of the string cloud and massive terms does not affect the black hole entropy. The observations about four dimensions indicate that the massive term in the presence of external string cloud can not exhibit Van der Waals like behavior for AdS-Schwarzschild black holes and therefore there is only the Hawking-Page phase transition. In contrast, in five dimensions, the graviton mass modifies this behavior through the third massive term, so that a critical behavior and second order phase transition is deduced. Also, the Joule-Thomson effect is not observed. The black hole stability conditions are also studied in four and five dimensions and a critical value for the string cloud parameter is presented. In five dimensions a degeneracy between states for extremal black holes is investigated. After studying black holes as thermodynamic systems, we consider such systems as heat engines, and finally the efficiency of them is calculated.

Antonello da Messina and the Independent Portrait in Fifteenth-Century Italy

description: This dissertation presents the first full length study of Antonello da Messina's portraits.  While Antonello has been justly acknowledged as the first Italian painter to consider the portrait an independent work of art, his portraits are often characterized as imitations of Netherlandish models, and they are rarely discussed outside of the context of Venetian or Netherlandish portraiture.  This study reintegrates Antonello's portraits in the wider context of fifteenth century Italy and argues that his portraiture is deeply rooted in the interests of the most prominent early Renaissance theories of painting.  Antonello is among the first Italian painters to claim the face as a locus for identification, and to answer the demand that painting capture both the physical and mental aspects of the sitter.  The first chapter analyzes the recent literature on the portraits and demonstrates how they have been marginalized by scholarship despite being lauded as highly influential.  The second chapter evaluates the portraits as a body of work from the standpoint of form and technique, and incorporating the most recent technical analyses, demonstrates how Antonello achieved certain effects to arrive at what may indeed be considered a wholly independent work of art.  The third chapter relates how Antonello's innovations in portraiture corresponded with a growing desire for a new kind of painted portrait in the mid fifteenth century.  It reconsiders the origin of the painted, three quarter view portrait in Italy and explains how ancient authors presented a challenge for the painted portrait that could only be met in fifteenth century Italy by an entirely new form and style, represented in the work of Antonello da Messina.  The fourth chapter examines the portraits in the context of Venetian patronage, looking more closely at his only known portrait sitters, Alvise Pasqualino and Michele Vianello, and the social and personal identities of Venetian citizens and nobles.  This chapter relates how the theoretical demands of humanists translated for real patrons and collectors, and clarifies Antonello's relationship to extant portraiture in Venice at during the last decades of the fifteenth century, particularly the work of Giovanni Bellini.  Ultimately Antonello da Messina's portraits had far reaching influence because they addressed some of the fundamental problems and challenges of representation in the early Italian Renaissance, for the first time, in portraiture.

Coupling to haloform molecules in intercalated C60?

description: For field-effect-doped fullerenes it was reported that the superconducting transition temperature Tc is markedly larger for C60.2CHX_3 (X=Cl, Br) crystals, than for pure C60. Initially this was explained by the expansion of the volume per C60-molecule and the corresponding increase in the density of states at the Fermi level in the intercalated crystals. On closer examination it has, however, turned out to be unlikely that this is the mechanism behind the increase in Tc. An alternative explanation of the enhanced transition temperatures assumes that the conduction electrons not only couple to the vibrational modes of the C60-molecule, but also to the modes of the intercalated molecules. We investigate the possibility of such a coupling. We find that, assuming the ideal bulk structure of the intercalated crystal, both a coupling due to hybridization of the molecular levels, and a coupling via dipole moments should be very small. This suggests that the presence of the gate-oxide in the field-effect-devices strongly affects the structure of the fullerene crystal at the interface.

description: The performance of CBIR algorithms is usually measured on an isolated workstation. In a real-world environment the algorithms would only constitute a minor component among the many interacting components. The Internet dramati-cally changes many of the usual assumptions about measuring CBIR performance. Any CBIR benchmark should be designed from a networked systems standpoint. These benchmarks typically introduce communication overhead because the real systems they model are distributed applications. We present our implementation of a client/server benchmark called BIRDS-I to measure image retrieval performance over the Internet. It has been designed with the trend toward the use of small personalized wireless systems in mind. Web-based CBIR implies the use of heteroge-neous image sets, imposing certain constraints on how the images are organized and the type of performance metrics applicable. BIRDS-I only requires controlled human intervention for the compilation of the image collection and none for the generation of ground truth in the measurement of retrieval accuracy. Benchmark image collections need to be evolved incrementally toward the storage of millions of images and that scaleup can only be achieved through the use of computer-aided compilation. Finally, our scoring metric introduces a tightly optimized image-ranking window.

Appetite for Innovation: The Mobilization of Change and Creativity at elBulli

description: This dissertation uses an organizational approach to examine how new ideas are mobilized in order to become radical innovations. I consider the case of elBulli, an avant-garde, three-Michelin star restaurant that has pioneered the "molecular" or "experimental" cuisine movement in the gastronomic field, to inductively study how innovation is made to work.  Based on ethnographic data collected over a period of 16-months in Spain and in the United States, my research proposes that systematic and radical innovation is the result of concrete practices and collective efforts that enable new ideas and epistemic practices to be recognized, understood, and legitimated by the public. The research advances a new distinction in innovation studies between new final products and conceptual innovations and proposes that this distinction can contribute to clarify the dynamics behind the advancement of knowledge within a field. Also, I argue that this distinction can serve as a basis for the future development of a general framework of the different dimensions involved in the production of innovation. Throughout the research, I draw comparisons with different fields such as religion, politics, business, art and music to explore the potential applicability of the main insights obtained from my case study to illuminate innovation processes in general.
