description: Odkrycie zjawiska oscylacji neutrin potwierdziło, że neutrina są cząstkami masywnymi. Istnieje kilka sposobów na rozszerzenie Modelu Standardowego (MS) tak, by wprowadzić masy neutrin. Jednym z nich jest mechanizm see-saw typu II występujący w modelu Higgs Triplet Model (HTM). W modelu tym pojawiają się dodatkowe, neutralne, pojedynczo i podwójnie naładowane cząstki skalarne. Mogą one pośredniczyć w procesach łamiących liczbę leptonową. Zatem rozważając produkcję i rozpady tych cząstek w akceleratorach wysokich energii, należy wziąć pod uwagę również ograniczenia niskoenergetyczne.

description: On the basis of the recently recognized potential of bone marrow stem cells to give rise to hepatocytes, we here investigated the role of G-CSF priming PBMCs played in the liver of cirrhotic rats. The animal model of liver cirrhosis was induced by injecting CCl4 in SD rats, and G-CSF was administered in hematopoietic stem cell mobilization doses. After the liver cirrhosis model was established, the female cirrhotic rats were divided into two groups. Group I only received G-CSF mobilization, group II received G-CSF mobilized PBMCs transplanted from the male cirrhotic rats. PKH26 staining and sex-determining region for the Y-chromosome gene were used to trace the transplanted cells. Liver function related factors were assayed under the animal automatic biochemistry analyzer, and the liver pathological changes were evaluated by HE staining. The comparative liver functions of the two groups were investigated by analysis of two sample t-tests. A P value of <0.05 was considered as significant in all analyses. Our results showed that the transplanted PBMCs could locate in the livers of the female rats. In addition, compared with the group I, rats in group II displayed significant liver improvement in serum ALB, ALT, AST and TBIL (p<0.05). However, the semi-quantitative classification of the liver pathological changes in both groups did not indicate a significant difference (p>0.05). The results indicated that mobilized PBMC transplant could contribute to liver function in cirrhotic livers, which might be an alternative therapy for liver cirrhosis.

description: In this paper, the analysis of selected graph neural network op-erators is presented. The classic Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) was compared with methods containing trainable attention coefficients: Graph Attention Network (GAT) and Graph Transformer (GT). Moreover, which is an original contribution of this work, training of GT was modified with an additional loss function component enabling easier explainability of the produced model. The experiments were conducted using datasets with chem-ical molecules where both classification and regression tasks are considered. The results show that additional constraint not only does not make the results worse but, in some cases, it improves predictions.
Affiliated former audit partners on audit committees and cost of equity capital

description: Audit committees (ACs) provide an independent overview of the financial reporting process. Independence and accounting expertise are essential for an effective AC. Due to their firm-specific accounting expertise, former partners of the current auditors (AFAPs) become prime candidates for AC membership. However, their affiliation poses a threat to independence and there is regulatory restriction on hiring AFAPs into ACs. This thesis examines how investors perceive the presence of AFAPs on ACs by examining the association between their presence on ACs and the return investors demand for their investment. Contrary to regulatory belief, I find investors perceive AFAPs on ACs positively.

description: This thesis develops two robust Bayesian inferential methods to handle model misspecification due to the presence of outliers in the data. These new methods are designed to produce robust Bayesian inference based on simple parametric models which may be misspecified. Utilizing robust information from the data, these Bayesian methods are able to produce posterior inference about the fundamental relationship between variables that is robust with respect to outliers.

description: It is common for cloud data centers meeting unexpected loads like request bursts, which may lead to overloaded situation and performance degradation. Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling and VM consolidation have been proved effective to manage overloads. However, they cannot function when the whole data center is overloaded. Brownout provides a promising direction to avoid overloads through configuring applications to temporarily degrade user experience. Additionally, brownout can also be applied to reduce data center energy consumption. As a complementary option for Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling and VM consolidation, our combined brownout approach reduces energy consumption through selectively and dynamically deactivating application optional components, which can also be applied to self-contained microservices. The results show that our approach can save more than 20% energy consumption and there are trade-offs between energy saving and discount offered to users.

description: This thesis investigated whether a General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) is an appropriate tool to tackle aggressive tax planning in Indonesia. A mixed method research approach was adopted which comprised semi-structured interviews of all key stakeholders. In addition, an archival and legal component analysed tax cases and the application of a GAAR in other countries. The findings of this study suggest that Specific Anti-Avoidance Rules (SAARs) are insufficient to combat aggressive tax planning in Indonesia and that the benefits of introducing a GAAR outweigh the challenges. The results of the study provide important tax policy implications for the Indonesian government.

description: What are the consequences of green industrialization on the labour market and industry dynamics? This paper tackles and quantifies this question by employing observable and reliable data on green manufacturing production for an extensive set of EU countries and 4-digit manufacturing industries for over a decade. First, at a descriptive level, this paper documents that potentially green industries outperform the others in terms of employment, average wages, value added and productivity, net of controlling for other drivers of the labour market and industry dynamics. Second, employing a shiftshare instrument to purge the analysis from possible endogeneity within green potential industries, this paper finds that an expansion of green production implies an increase in employment and value added. In contrast, average wages and labour productivity remain unchanged. These results hold in the short and long term, are heterogeneous depending on the countries considered, and are amplified by existing industry specialization and by accounting for input-output linkages.

description: Many marine invertebrates have larval stages covered in linear arrays of beating cilia, which propel the animal while simultaneously entraining planktonic prey. These bands are strongly conserved across taxa spanning four major superphyla, and they are responsible for the unusual morphologies of many invertebrate larvae. However, few studies have investigated their underlying hydrodynamics. Here, we study the ciliary bands of starfish larvae, and discover a beautiful pattern of slowly-evolving vortices that surrounds the swimming animals. Closer inspection of the bands reveals unusual ciliary "tangles" analogous to topological defects that break up and re-form as the animal adjusts its swimming stroke. Quantitative experiments and modeling demonstrate that these vortices create a physical tradeoff between feeding and swimming in heterogenous environments, which manifests as distinct flow patterns or "eigen-strokes" representing each behavior---potentially implicating neuronal control of cilia. This quantitative interplay between larval form and hydrodynamic function may generalize to other invertebrates with ciliary bands, and illustrates the potential effects of active boundary conditions in other biological and synthetic systems.

description: In contrast to existing studies that focus mainly on the extent to which online reviews influence consumers' decision-making processes, this study responds to a recent call for more comprehensive consumer research on online reviews from the reviewers' perspective. This research therefore investigates the extent to which consumers' exposure to online reviews can influence the intensity level of their negative word-of-mouth (n-wom) expressed in their written reviews following negative service experiences. More specifically, this research examines the role of consumers' perceived transportation into previous online reviews as the underlying explanatory mechanism behind this relationship, and includes consumers' prior experience in posting reviews as a moderator.

description: Dynamical systems driven by nonlinear delay SDEs with small noise can exhibit important rare events on long timescales. When there is no delay, classical large deviations theory quantifies rare events such as escapes from metastable fixed points. Near such fixed points, one can approximate nonlinear delay SDEs by linear delay SDEs. Here, we develop a fully explicit large deviations framework for (necessarily Gaussian) processes $X_t$ driven by linear delay SDEs with small diffusion coefficients. Our approach enables fast numerical computation of the action functional controlling rare events for $X_t$ and of the most likely paths transiting from $X_0 = p$ to $X_T=q$. Via linear noise local approximations, we can then compute most likely routes of escape from metastable states for nonlinear delay SDEs. We apply our methodology to the detailed dynamics of a genetic regulatory circuit, namely the co-repressive toggle switch, which may be described by a nonlinear chemical Langevin SDE with delay.

Neural computation from first principles: Using the maximum entropy method to obtain an optimal bits-per-joule neuron

description: Optimization results are one method for understanding neural computation from Nature's perspective and for defining the physical limits on neuron-like engineering. Earlier work looks at individual properties or performance criteria and occasionally a combination of two, such as energy and information. Here we make use of Jaynes' maximum entropy method and combine a larger set of constraints, possibly dimensionally distinct, each expressible as an expectation. The method identifies a likelihood-function and a sufficient statistic arising from each such optimization. This likelihood is a first-hitting time distribution in the exponential class. Particular constraint sets are identified that, from an optimal inference perspective, justify earlier neurocomputational models. Interactions between constraints, mediated through the inferred likelihood, restrict constraint-set parameterizations, e.g., the energy-budget limits estimation performance which, in turn, matches an axonal communication constraint. Such linkages are, for biologists, experimental predictions of the method. In addition to the related likelihood, at least one type of constraint set implies marginal distributions, and in this case, a Shannon bits/joule statement arises.

description: We derive the general 5-dimension metric structure of the $Dp-Dq$ system in type II superstring theory, and demonstrate the physical meaning of the parameters characterizing the 5-dimension metric structure of the \textit{holographic} QCD model by relating them to the parameters describing Regge trajectories. By matching the spectra of vector mesons $ρ_1$ with deformed $Dp-Dq$ soft-wall model, we find that the spectra of vector mesons $ρ_1$ can be described very well in the soft-wall $D3-Dq$ model, i.e, $AdS_5$ soft-wall model. We then investigate how well the $AdS_5$ soft-wall model can describe the Regge trajectory of axial-vector mesons $a_1$. We find that the constant component of the 5-dimension mass square of axial-vector mesons plays an efficient role to realize the chiral symmetry breaking in the vacuum, and a small negative $z^4$ correction in the 5-dimension mass square is helpful to realize the chiral symmetry restoration in high excitation states.

description: We introduce a general class of toy models to study the quantum information-theoretic properties of black hole radiation. The models are governed by a set of isometries that specify how microstates of the black hole at a given energy evolve to entangled states of a tensor product black-hole/radiation Hilbert space. The final state of the black hole radiation is conveniently summarized by a tensor network built from these isometries. We introduce a set of quantities generalizing the Renyi entropies that provide a complete set of bipartite/multipartite entanglement measures, and give a general formula for the average of these over initial black hole states in terms of the isometries defining the model. For models where the dimension of the final tensor product radiation Hilbert space is the same as that of the space of initial black hole microstates, the entanglement structure is universal, independent of the choice of isometries. In the more general case, we find that models which best capture the "information-free" property of black hole horizons are those whose isometries are tensors corresponding to states of tripartite systems with maximally mixed subsystems.

description: This study examined when employees respond counterproductively in reaction to perceived unfulfilled promises by their employers. This study makes several contributions. First, it highlights the importance of personality influencing perceptions of controllability and non-work factors. Specifically, individuals with lower self-control and who are targets of uncivil behaviour in the family domain are likely to become perpetrators of counterproductive behaviours at work. Secondly, this study builds on Social Exchange Theory by emphasising the need to consider complex interactions among personality and contextual factors.
Field tests and analytical studies of the dynamic behavior and the onset of galloping in traffic signal structures

Subjects: subject: Traffic signs and signals--Texas

description: Unpredictable fatigue failures of cantilevered mono-tube traffic signal structures in Texas and throughout the United States in recent years have created the need to study their fatigue behavior. Based on recent research, the AASHTO specification has adopted a design equation for galloping loads that is overly conservative in many cases. The Texas Department of Transportation is interested in establishing design criteria for galloping that more accurately represents galloping potential and provides a more efficient design. In this study, three signal structures in Texas were monitored for a total of 9 months to detect the magnitude of galloping forces experienced in the field. Although large amplitude displacements were measured in the field, sustained galloping did not occur. In addition to the field tests, an analytical model was developed and used to perform a parametric study for predicting the galloping potential of traffic signal structures with various properties. The analytical model suggests that modifying the aerodynamic properties of the sign and signal attachments may be the most effective way to eliminate galloping

description: Peptidyl arginine deiminase 6 (PADI6 or PAD6) is vital for early embryonic development in mice and humans, yet its function remains elusive. PADI6 is less conserved than other PADIs and it is currently unknown whether it has a catalytic function. Here we show that human PADI6 dimerises like hPADIs 2–4, however, does not bind Ca2+ and is inactive in in vitro assays against standard PADI substrates. By determining the crystal structure of hPADI6, we show that hPADI6 is structured in the absence of Ca2+ where hPADI2 and hPADI4 are not, and the Ca-binding sites are not conserved. Moreover, we show that whilst the key catalytic aspartic acid and histidine residues are structurally conserved, the cysteine is displaced far from the active site centre and the hPADI6 active site pocket appears closed through a unique evolved mechanism in hPADI6, not present in the other PADIs.
Taken together, these findings provide insight into how the function of hPADI6 may differ from the other PADIs based on its structure and provides a resource for characterising the damaging effect of clinically significant PADI6 variants.

description: The solution to the problem of finding the minimum number of monochromatic triples $(x,y,x+ay)$ with $a\geq 2$ being a fixed positive integer over any 2-coloring of $[1,n]$ was conjectured by Butler, Costello, and Graham (2010) and Thanathipanonda (2009). We solve this problem using a method based on Datskovsky's proof (2003) on the minimum number of monochromatic Schur triples $(x,y,x+y)$. We do this by exploiting the combinatorial nature of the original proof and adapting it to the general problem.

description: Small angle neutron scattering measurements have been performed to study the thermodynamic stability of skyrmion-lattice phases in Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$. We found that the two distinct skyrmion-lattice phases [SkX(1) and SkX(2) phases] can be stabilized through different thermal histories; by cooling from the paramagnetic phase under finite magnetic field, the SkX(2) phase is selected. On the other hand, the 30$^{\circ}$-rotated SkX(1) phase becomes dominant by heating the sample from the ordered conical phase under finite field. This difference in stabilization is surprisingly similar to the irreversibility observed in spin glasses. The zero-field cooling results in the co-existence of the two phases. It is further found that once one of the skyrmion-lattice phases is formed, it is hardly destabilized. This indicates unusual thermal stability of the two skyrmion-lattice phases originating from an unexpectedly large energy barrier between them.

description: This thesis presents an economic analysis of factors influencing HTA drug funding decision-making for "high-cost" cancer drugs. Four research questions are considered. Literature review identifies the factors prioritized by payers, public and patients in funding decision-making for new cancer drugs. An empirical analysis then identifies the factors prioritized by Scotland in decision-making. The third empirical analysis applies survival analysis to identifies factors which increase or decrease time to a positive recommendation. The final analyses test if uptake of Risk Sharing Agreements significantly increases access to publicly-funded cancer drugs, and identifies the conditions which facilitate a Risk-sharing agreement.

subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Chinese Immigrant Professionals (CIPs) are growing in size and influence in the culturally diverse Australian workforce, yet their leadership views in relation to their acculturation experiences have remained unexamined. Drawing upon interviews with 35 CIPs in Australia and a comparison group of 35 Chinese professionals (CPs) in China, this thesis explored the influence of acculturation on CIPs’ effective leadership. CIPs’ acculturation experiences were found to shape their ethical views, respect for authority, participative leadership and voice behaviour. This thesis enriched our understanding of acculturation outcomes and advanced our knowledge of Chinese leadership in a western context.
A Galois-dynamics correspondence for unicritical polynomials

description: In an analogy with the Galois homothety property for torsion points of abelian varieties that was used in the proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture, we describe a correspondence between the action of a Galois group and the dynamical action of a rational map. For nonlinear polynomials with rational coefficients, the irreducibility of the associated dynatomic polynomial serves as a convenient criterion, although we also verify that the correspondence occurs in several cases when the dynatomic polynomial is reducible. The work of Morton, Morton-Patel, and Vivaldi-Hatjispyros in the early 1990s connected the irreducibility and Galois-theoretic properties of dynatomic polynomials to rational periodic points; from the Galois-dynamics correspondence, we derive similar consequences for quadratic periodic points of unicritical polynomials. This is sufficient to deduce the non-existence of quadratic periodic points of quadratic polynomials with exact period 5 and 6, outside of a specified finite set from Morton and Krumm's work in explicit Hilbert irreducibility.

The development and characterization of lab-on-a-chip devices for the analysis of DNA and proteins

Lab-on-a-chip

description: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a biochemical assay utilized to chemically amplify specific regions of DNA. An attempt to resolve issues with traditional PCR thermal cyclers has sparked the development of a myriad of microchip-based PCR devices in substrates including silicon, glass, and a variety of polymers using well-established integrated circuit (IC) and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication technologies. Chapter I reviews fundamental aspects of traditional PCR and explores the development and characteristics of PCR microchip technology. An introduction to lab-on-a-chip (LOC) / micro-total-analysis systems (μTAS) technologies is given towards the end of chapter I. Chapter II presents a novel continuous-flow PCR microchip with regional velocity control developed by our research group here at The University of Texas at Austin. Design considerations, microfabrication processes, theoretical and experimental investigations, and flow-through experimental procedures are divulged in detail. Novel semi-analytical and finite element simulations, employed to optimize microchip performance, are described. Successful efficient amplification of a 90 bp DNA bacillus anthracis fragment was achieved in our flow-through experiments indicating the viability or our biochip for use in point-of-care diagnostics applications. Chapter III presents two Poly(dimethylsiloxane)-based ad hoc packaging systems, also developed by our research group here at UT-Austin, serving as an infrastructure for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) using previously reported “electronic taste” chips. One design is capable of hosting a single “taste” chip for single analyte identification while the other has the capacity of handling four “taste” chips for analysis of up to four analytes. The devices utilize microfluidics for ligand transport in liquid-phase media and contain windows for optical signal detection based on the absorption and emission of probe-conjugated agarose beads. An established C-reactive protein (CRP) assay was performed to evaluate the performance of the packaging systems. Detection limits of the “electronic taste” chips when supported by our packaging systems were found to be very low indicating the possibility and feasibility of “taste” chip detection of proteins and amplified DNA by PCR for on-site genetic screening applications. Chapter IV concludes this thesis by succinctly summarizing the information presented in chapters I, II, and III. The main goal of the chapter is to connect the ideas behind our foregoing research by putting in perspective how each work fits into our ultimate goal, to create a complete lab-on-a-chip device incorporating all the investigative tools necessary for biomolecular (DNA, protein, etc.) analysis. An explanation of the goals and purpose of our work are highlighted and linked to pertinent future research projects
Semiparametric two-component mixture models under L-moments constraints

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We propose a structure of a semiparametric two-component mixture model when one component is parametric and the other is defined through L-moments conditions. Estimation of a two-component mixture model with an unknown component is very difficult when no particular assumption is made on the structure of the unknown component. A previous work was proposed to incorporate a prior linear information concerning the distribution function of the unknown component such as moment constraints. We propose here to incorporate a prior linear information about the quantile function of the unknown component instead. This information is translated by L-moments constraints. L-moments hold better information about the tail of the distribution and are considered as good alternatives for moments especially for heavy tailed distributions since they can be defined as soon as the distribution has finite expectation. The new semiparametric mixture model is estimated using $φ-$divergences which permit to build feasible algorithms. Asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are studied and proved under standard assumptions. Simulations on data generated by several mixtures models demonstrate the viability and the interest of our novel approach and the gain from using L-moment constraints in comparison to the use of moments constraints.
description: This paper was combined with my other paper on semiparametric mixture models under linear constraints and was accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Information Thoery. See published paper for final remarks. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1603.05694
