Improving the effectiveness of land sharing conservation efforts for North American grassland birds
Creators: name: Allen, Michael Cobb
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Grassland birds are experiencing persistent population declines in North America and elsewhere. Protected grasslands are rare, and private grasslands are increasingly unsuitable due to intensive agricultural practices. Federal private-lands conservation programs (‘land sharing’ approaches) are the primary conservation tool, but as populations continue to decline, calls for reform have increased. In this dissertation, I explore ways to improve land sharing conservation efforts for grassland birds at three spatial scales: farm, regional, and continental. First, I evaluate a novel conservation practice within active hayfields designed to increase habitat suitability during the post-harvest period. Next, I develop an empirical social-ecological systems model to evaluate how conservation spending, climate, and farm management interact to influence population fluctuations in a grassland bird species in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. Lastly, I identify regions of increasing agricultural or climate impacts on grassland birds by investigating continental scale changes in the geography of spatial population synchrony. Approaches developed here have global applicability in the effort to conserve biodiversity in the face of expanding agricultural and climatic impacts.

description: Gromov showed that (1993) with high probability, every bounded and reduced van Kampen diagram $D$ of a random group at density $d$ satisfies the isoperimetric inequality $|\partial D|\geq (1-2d-s)|D|\ell$. In this article, we adapt Gruber-Mackay's prove for random triangular groups, showing a non-reduced 2-complex version of this inequality.
 Moreover, for any 2-complex $Y$ of a given geometric form, we exhibit a phase transition: we give explicitly a critical density $d_c$ depending only on $Y$ such that, in a random group at density $d$, if $dd_c$ then there exists reduced van Kampen 2-complexes of the form $Y$.
 As an application, we show a phase transition for the $C(p)$ small-cancellation condition: for a random group at density $d$, if $d<1/(p+1)$ then it satisfies $C(p)$; while if $d>1/(p+1)$ then it does not satisfy $C(p)$.

The nominal form presents yellow and black bands with a white tail. Individuals with a pronounced ferruginous colouring on T4 have been regarded here as the subspecies lectitatus (Table 2), considered until recently as the only one spread in the Pyrenees (Rasmont & Iserbyt 2013). This pronounced ferruginous colouring of T4 is constant and differs from that in B. s. ancaricus or B. s. proteus, but further genetic research would be desirable at the subspecies level. This subspecies has been found only in central and eastern Pyrenees, between 1532 and 2125 m, on Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop., Eryngium bourgatii Gouan., Gentiana lutea, Medicago sativa, Phlomis lychnitis L, Sempervivum montanum L., Trifolium pratense L. and Trifolium repens L.

description: We prove that for $n\geq 2$, a non-uniform lattice in $\text{PU}(n,1)$ does not admit a relatively geometric action on a $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ cube complex, in the sense of Einstein and Groves. As a consequence, if $Γ$ is a non-uniform lattice in a non-compact semisimple Lie group $G$ without compact factors that admits a relatively geometric action on a $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ cube complex, then $G$ is commensurable with $\text{SO}(n,1)$. We also prove that if a Kähler group is hyperbolic relative to residually finite parabolic subgroups, and acts relatively geometrically on a $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ cube complex, then it is virtually a surface group.
description: 10 pages, 1 figure. This is a substantial enhancement of the previous version. In particular, Theorem 1.3 concerning relatively geometric actions of K\"ahler groups on CAT(0) cube complexes is completely new. Theorem 1.3 is then used to give a different proof of Theorem 1.1 than is found in the previous version

Transition metals homeostasis in Staphylococcus aureus
Creators: name: Al-Tameemi, Hassan Mohammed Jasim
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Staphylococcus aureus is a public health concern. It can evade the immune system and develop resistance to many antibiotic classes. The human immune system employs diverse mechanisms to overcome S. aureus infections including disrupting iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) homeostasis at the host-pathogen interface. The work presented herein described iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster synthesis as a potential antimicrobial target. We demonstrated that Suf (sulfur mobilization)-dependent Fe-S cluster synthesis is essential in S. aureus. Importantly, the Suf system is not present in mammals suggesting that it is a promising antibiotic target. A strain with decreased suf transcription exhibited phenotypes that are associated with impaired Fe-S protein maturation. These phenotypes included a reduction in the activity of Fe-S cluster-dependent enzymes and growth inhibition in media deficient in metabolites that require Fe-S enzymes for synthesis. The impairment in Fe-S cluster biogenesis led to increased sensitivity to reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species and decreased survival in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. We explored how copper harm S. aureus, by creating a ΔcopAB ΔcopBL strain (cop-) that was defective in removing copper from the cytosol. We isolated cop- strains with Tn insertions in mntABC that resist copper. When cultured with copper, strains containing the mntA::Tn mutation had less copper load than the parent strains. Manganese bound MntR repressed MntABC. The ?mntR strain had reduced growth and increased copper load under copper stress. The introduction of the mntA::Tn allele annulled these phenotypes. Over-expression of MntABC amplified cellular copper load and sensitivity to copper. The mntA::Tn mutation presence also protected Fe-S enzymes from inactivation by copper. We also found that copper was not substantially inhibiting the growth of S. aureus by poisoning NrdEF under the growth conditions utilized; however, when NrdEF function was decreased by copper, the ribonucleotide reductase function is decreased by the addition of hydroxyurea. The introduction of a mntA::Tn allele improved growth of both ΔcopAZ and ΔcopBL strains from copper intoxication suggesting that the presence of a second copper detoxification system protects S. aureus from MntABC-dependent copper intoxication. The data presented are consistent with a model wherein copper enters S. aureus cells via the MntABC importer and poisons Fe-S enzymes. Taken together, the work presented in this thesis supports the viability of targeting Fe-S synthesis as a viable therapeutic approach and established a novel role for mntABC in copper homeostasis.

Endotribelos

description: Endotribelos
- Two described species and one undescribed species were collected. Fourteen specimens of E. albatum and 40 (including two intersex specimens) of E. grodhausi were examined; seven specimens of the undescribed species were collected. The undescribed species has a long thin anal point and appears similar to, but lighter than, an undescribed species from La Selva, of which I have several reared associations.
Endotribelos was established by Grodhaus (1987) for Tendipes (Tribelos) hesperia Sublette, 1960 (which thus became Endotribelos hesperium (Sublette)), a southern US species whose larva has an odd number of teeth on the mentum and a large gap (diastema) between the molar area and the proximal inner tooth of the mandible. Subsequently, Sublette & Sasa (1994) described two species from Guatemala, E. albatum and E. grodhausi; the larva of E. grodhausi has an even number of mental teeth and lacks the mandibular diastema (the larva of E. albatum remains unknown). Since then, several more species have been described from South America (Roque & Trivinho-Strixino 2008 and Trivinho-Strixino & Pepenelli 2015), the larvae of which display a variety of those character states. See also Epler et al. (2013).
Trivinho-Strixino & Pepenelli (2015) provided keys for the males and known larvae of Endotribelos. However, male E. grodhausi will not key correctly because couplet 4 gives one the choice of “base of superior volsella setose” or “base of superior volsella bare”. Choosing “bare” eventually leads to E. grodhausi at couplet 14. However, the base of the superior volsella of E. grodhausi is clothed, ventrally and dorsally, with fine setae. Thus, E. grodhausi will key to E. jaragua Trivinho-Strixino & Pepenelli in couplet 5, from which it may be separated by the darker thorax of E. grodhausi (preepisternum and adjacent sclerites are dark; light in E. jaragua). Sasa and Sublette’s illustration of the volsella (Sublette & Sasa 1994: fig. 141) does not indicate the presence of setae, which apparently led Trivinho-Strixino & Pepenelli (2015) to assume the structure was bare. Sublette & Sasa (1994: fig. 135) likewise illustrated the base of the superior volsella of E. albatum as bare, when it also is clothed with fine setae. I examined two paratypes of E. albatum and eight paratypes of E. grodhausi.

Vertebral abnormalities and bone quality in older adults: effects of weight loss
Creators: name: Amariti, Julia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Obesity is a risk factor for osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis. Weight loss can cause declines in bone mineral density (BMD), this is not consistently observed at the lumbar spine (LS). It is hypothesized that this inconsistency may be due vertebral structural abnormalities, and so, excluding these defects along with examining the LS trabecular bone score (TBS) may be a more sensitive indicator of bone changes due to weight loss and aging. Retrospective analysis of BMD and TBS in 131 older overweight/obese women and men (body mass index, BMI, 32.72 ± 4.6 kg/m2 and 60 ± 6 years) who participated in previous weight loss studies. To control for abnormalities in the lumbar spine image, we assessed dual energy x-ray absorptiometry LS images for vertebral body exclusion (VE) criteria. At study completion participants were divided into those who had a weight loss of less than or greater than 5%. Mean LS-BMD value was lower after correction for abnormalities (p<0.05). In only the corrected LS-BMD there was a decrease that trended towards being greater due to weight loss. TBS was partially degraded in ~50% of these older individuals. Repeated measures ANOVA (group by time) indicated no significant TBS interaction with weight loss and time. The vertebral abnormalities differentially effected LS BMD during weight loss and aging and because of this, all LS BMD images should be analyzed for vertebral abnormalities.

description: We study the 2D incompressible Boussinesq equation without thermal diffusion, and aim to construct rigorous examples of small scale formations as time goes to infinity. In the viscous case, we construct examples of global smooth solutions satisfying $\sup_{τ\in[0,t]} \|\nabla ρ(τ)\|_{L^2}\gtrsim t^α$ for some $α>0$. For the inviscid equation in the strip, we construct examples satisfying $\|ω(t)\|_{L^\infty}\gtrsim t^3$ and $\sup_{τ\in[0,t]} \|\nabla ρ(τ)\|_{L^\infty} \gtrsim t^2$ during the existence of a smooth solution. These growth results hold for a broad class of initial data, where we only require certain symmetry and sign conditions. As an application, we also construct solutions to the 3D axisymmetric Euler equation whose velocity has infinite-in-time growth.

Role of notch signaling after traumatic brain injury in a transgenic mouse model
Creators: name: Anderson, Jeremy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability and death in the United States and worldwide. Endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) in the adult are a potential source for injury recovery. However, much about the response of injury-activated NSPCs is still unknown. Notch signaling is critical for maintaining NSPC status during embryonic development and transiently activated after injury. In the first part of this thesis, the role of Notch signaling after TBI is investigated using a Notch1CR2-GFP transgenic mouse model. During development, GFP mainly marks interneuron progenitor cells. A closed head injury (CHI) in this transgenic mouse was performed to determine the response of injury-activated NSPCs. CHI induces neuroinflammation, cell death, and the expression of typical TBI markers, validating the animal model. In addition, CHI induces cell proliferation in GFP+ cells expressing NSPC markers, e.g., Notch1 and Nestin. A significant higher percentage of GFP+ GABAergic interneurons was observed in the CHI brain, with no significant change in oligodendrocyte lineage between the CHI and sham animal groups. Since injury is known to activate astrogliosis, these results suggest that injury-induced GFP+ NSPCs preferentially differentiate into GABAergic neurons. Our study establishes that Notch1CR2-GFP transgenic mouse is a useful tool for the study of NSPC behavior in vivo after TBI. In the second part of this thesis, the role of Gsx1, a neurogenic transcription factor, on promoting Notch1 expression and neurogenesis is investigated. A lentivirus system is used to deliver Gsx1 at the injury site after closed head injury (CHI) in the Notch1CR2-GFP transgenic mice. We identify that CHI increases GFP+ cell, during the acute phase of TBI and increasingly label neurons during the chronic phase of TBI. Lentivirus-mediated Gsx1 overexpression increases Notch1 expressing cells in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus; these virally transduced cells proliferate and mark NSPCs during the subacute phase of TBI and primarily label glutamatergic neurons during the chronic phase of TBI. The role of Gsx1 promoting Notch signaling and neurogenesis after TBI represents a new therapeutic for the treatment of TBI. Unveiling the potential of NSPCs to TBI (e.g., proliferation and differentiation) will identify new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of brain trauma.

Study of power recoverability through optimal design of energy storage systems
Creators: name: Arabzadeh Jamali, Maryam
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: While electrical power has nowadays become an indispensable part of modern life, natural disasters are one of the most severe causes of power outages. Power outages could be catastrophic when they hit critical infrastructures (CIs), such as hospitals, airports and data centers resulting in cascade failures among vital services that have life-dependent functionalities. For example, we have recently seen Hurricane Irma's devastation which completely destroyed critical power infrastructure and caused one of the largest power outages in U.S. history leaving expansive regions without power for weeks. Although energy storage is widely deployed in CIs as a source of backup power during times of adverse events, e.g., taking over when blackouts occur, there have been little work done in allocating them in the systems considering resiliency scenarios. This study aims to come up with a new and unique approach to design CI systems with inherent power resiliency in order to reduce vulnerabilities, limit the consequences of failures, and reduce time to recovery for vital services. The proposed method includes:1.Techniques for optimizing design strategies of different energy storages for post-event infrastructure recovery.2.Increase infrastructure resilience in terms of fast recoverability for extreme events with respect to time and cost.3.Considering uncertainty in the electrical demand load of any infrastructures after a blackout.4.Considering uncertainty in length of power outage for capacity estimation of energy storage systems needed at the infrastructures site.We saw that all the factors mentioned above make considerable differences as we compare the results. This method can be used to find the energy storage systems capacities needed and the optimal configuration for a specific infrastructure during power outage. Meanwhile, a time dependent model is also represented that might be critical for some facilities.

Note. This population has never been described as subspecies. Burgeon (1930b: 158) refers two specimens from Kunungu (Mai-Ndombe, DR Congo) from the collection of Dr. Schouteden, 1921. “Two rather damaged specimens of greater body, resembling the previous [subspecies C. t. milzi (Duvivier, 1891)]. Bourgeon mentions those taxa once again (1935b: 180) and classes them as C. strachani (Hope, 1842) and adds a short description: “Two specimens from Kunungu are larger than C. [s.] strachani, pronotum posteriorly narrowing and ventrites not crenulated” [from French]. I have not found those specimens in MRAC and both descriptions by Burgeon are rather brief. I do not dare present the taxon as a separate species, it is referred to as a subspecies. In my opinion, this population seems to be more similar to C. tetrastigma than to C. strachani because of its wider pronotum, more narrowing posteriorly, and also because of distributional area geographically closer to those of other subspecies of C. tetrastigma. Maybe it represents a separate species because of its ventrites with anterior margin without crenulation, similar as in C. latipennis (Burgeon, 1930).

New solutions to the charged current B-anomalies
Creators: name: Asadi, Pouya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: There are a host of different experimental efforts looking for signs of physics beyond the Standard Model. For the most part, the results from these experiments are in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. Nonetheless, a handful of discrepancies have been observed. One of the most significant discrepancies is observed in the flavor-changing processes B → DTV and B → D*TV. In this work we propose two novel explanations for these anomalies and study their phenomenology. The characteristic feature of these two models are (i) use of right-handed neutrinos and a new W' mediator, and (ii) mixing between two leptoquarks after the electroweak symmetry breaking, respectively. We further study the imprint of these models, as well as all other viable solutions, on related asymmetry observables. We motivate the measurement of various asymmetry observables associated with the T lepton in these processes, as they can likely distinguish different viable solutions.
Climatological factors impacting summer air pollution in the Philadelphia metropolitan area

description: This study examines two criteria atmospheric pollutants, ozone and particulate matter 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) within the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington (PCW) region and explores the relationship these pollutants may have with summer climatological factors and amongst themselves. Three synoptic types are found to be associated with high pollution concentrations, these synoptic types are mainly categorized by southerly winds, partly cloudy skies, and warm temperatures. Ozone and PM 2.5 were found to be strongly positively correlated between themselves, suggesting that as one pollutant increases or decreases, the other will as well. Future research would include the forecasting of poor air quality days, with a focus on the three synoptic types that are most strongly related to high pollution concentrations. As future climate changes, the relationship between synoptic climatology and pollutants may need to be further explored.

How can a child perceive a world that is constructed by an adult? How does he experience it according to his developmental stages and senses? If these senses may not fall under a neurotypical framework, does this fact affect the perception of the surrounding space? The aim is to collect the data that will constitute a set of information that will be considered as an aid not only for the design of spaces primarily i
Equivalence of eval-readback and eval-apply big-step evaluators by structuring the lambda-calculus's strategy space

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: We study the equivalence between eval-readback and eval-apply big-step evaluators in the general setting of the pure lambda calculus. We study `one-step' equivalence (same strategy) and also discuss `big-step' equivalence (same final result). One-step equivalence extends for free to evaluators in other settings (calculi, programming languages, proof assistants, etc.) by restricting the terms (closed, convergent) while maintaining the strategy. We present a proof that one-step equivalence holds when (1) the `readback' stage satisfies straightforward well-formedness provisos, (2) the `eval' stage implements a `uniform' strategy, and (3) the eval-apply evaluator implements a `balanced hybrid' strategy that has `eval' as a subsidiary strategy. The proof proceeds the `lightweight fusion by fixed-point promotion' program transformation on evaluator implementations to fuse readback and eval into the balanced hybrid. The proof can be followed with no previous knowledge of the transformation. We use Haskell 2010 as the implementation language, with all evaluators written in monadic style to guarantee semantics (strategy) preservation, but the choice of implementation language is immaterial. To illustrate the large scope of the equivalence, we provide an extensive survey of the strategy space using canonical eval-apply evaluators in code and big-step `natural' operational semantics. We discuss the strategies' properties, some of their uses, and their abstract machines. We improve the formal definition of uniform and hybrid strategy, use it to structure the strategy space, and to obtain generic higher-order evaluators which are used in the equivalence proof. We introduce a systematic notation for both evaluator styles and use it to summarise strategy and evaluator equivalences, including (non-)equivalences within a style and (non-)equivalences between styles not proven by the transformation.
Trustworthiness evaluation in recommendation seeking behavior
Creators: name: Baik, Eun Jung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Recommendations often play a key role in making routine daily decisions or consuming a variety of information, and therefore, recommender systems (RSs) that evaluate, filter, and deliver personalized information are becoming increasingly important. Despite its growing significance, the trustworthiness evaluation of recommenders and recommendations has been relatively unexplored. The goal of this dissertation is to understand the influence of cognitive and social factors on the trustworthiness evaluation in active recommendation seeking behavior under natural or uncontrolled settings. Four research questions (RQs) were addressed: the motivations of engaging in recommendation seeking behavior (RQ1); the influence of cognitive (Propensity to Trust, Topic Familiarity, Risk, and Uncertainty) (RQ2) and social (Tie Strength and Homophily) (RQ3) factors on the trustworthiness evaluation; and their interaction effects, if any (RQ4). Thirty-three undergraduate and graduate students were recruited through purposive sampling, and were asked to record one-week diaries about their real-life recommendation seeking experiences under uncontrolled settings, followed by exit interviews. Answers to open- and close-ended questions from diaries and interview transcripts were collected and imported to NVivo12 for qualitative analysis and SPSS25 for statistical analysis. Content analyses were conducted for the recommendation needs and the trustworthiness characteristics. Linear regressions were adopted to investigate the influential factors and their interactions in the trustworthiness evaluation. Functional (affective and cognitive) and temporal (long- and short-term) aspects were identified as the two main criteria of recommendation needs (RQ1). Cognitive needs were dominantly found, while affective needs were also critical in a considerable number of episodes. Prompt applicability and time affordances were noticeable in the characteristics of short- and long-term needs, respectively. The four cognitive factors did not statistically influence the trustworthiness evaluation (RQ2), while Tie Strength between the seekers and the recommenders did (RQ3). Homophily (Status, Value, and Situation) influenced the trustworthiness evaluation, and its recognition made the recommendations be perceived to be more useful, persuasive, and emotionally relieving (RQ3). While no statistical interactions between any of the factors existed in the main and interaction effects model, the interaction-only model showed that the seekers’ Propensity to Trust and their Tie Strength with the recommenders influenced each other in the trustworthiness evaluation (RQ4). This study, in a “natural” setting, found, contrary to previous research conducted in “controlled” settings, that cognitive factors did not significantly affect the judgement of trustworthiness. The strong influence of homophily on trustworthiness suggests that RSs should, at least in some instances, provide recommendations from non-homophilic recommenders.
