Phosphorus Removal From EBPR Sludge Dewatering Liquors Using Lanthanum Chloride, Aluminum Sulfate and Ferric Chloride
Creators: name: Strileski, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: In wastewater treatment, enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to chemical precipitation (CP) because of its lower costs and reduced sludge production. However, downstream solids handling processes such as digestion, sludge storage and dewatering promote an undesirable release (i.e. secondary release) of polyphosphate that was stored within EBPR sludge. Released phosphate is recycled to the head of the plant with the liquors of sludge dewatering processes. The concentration of phosphate in recycle streams from EBPR systems can be one to two orders of magnitude higher than the influent phosphorus concentration entering the EBPR system. Plants using EBPR often have to resort to chemical phosphorus removal from the recycle streams to reduce the P loading returning to the EBPR process. The present study addresses the potential of lanthanum chloride as an alternative coagulant for phosphate removal in EBPR sludge dewatering liquors as the use of lanthanum-based coagulants has shown a strong potential for phosphorus precipitation in wastewater applications. The hypothesis is that lanthanum chloride is capable of achieving greater orthophosphate removals than ferric chloride or aluminum sulfate (alum) because lanthanum salts have shown to have a wider effective pH range and require lower doses than typical coagulants. Results indicate that on a molar basis, lanthanum is capable of removing >99% of orthophosphate from digested and non-digested EBPR sludge dewatering liquors at metal to phosphate ratios of 1:1 and 1.1:1, respectively. Similar removals using aluminum and ferric iron required molar ratios of 1.6:1 or greater. Additionally, in liquors with a high initial ortho-P concentration (>100 mg/L), lanthanum chloride achieved > 85% ortho-P removal at pHs as low as 2, whereas removal efficiency decreased with increasing ferric chloride dose due to pH depression. With alum, phosphate removal was essentially non-existent below pH 3. In liquors with low initial ortho-P concentrations (15 mg/L), ferric iron and lanthanum both achieved approximately 90% ortho-P removal at 2:1 molar doses. Thus, lanthanum chloride has shown to be an effective alternative coagulant in liquors with high initial ortho-P concentrations, but ferric chloride is more practical in liquors with low initial ortho-P concentrations because lanthanum and other rare earth salts are less commercially available and more costly than ferric chloride. However, for high phosphate concentrations, such as the ones present in return streams from EBPR systems, the use of lanthanum is promising. As more rare earth metal mines are open in the United States and abroad, fueled by the demand for these metals used in electronics (e.g. cell and smart phones), rare earth chlorides, which are a by-product of these mines, will become more commercially available at lower prices.

description: 3D LiDAR point cloud obtained from the laser scanner is too dense and contains millions of points with information. For such huge volume of data to be sorted, identified, validated and be used for prediction, data mining provides immense scope and has been used to achieve the same. Certain unique attributes were selected as an input for creating models through machine learning. Supervised models were thus built for prediction of classes through the available LiDAR data using random forest algorithm. The algorithm was chosen owing to its efficiency and accuracy over other data mining algorithms. The models created using random forest were then tested on an unclassified point cloud data of an urban area. The method shows promising results in terms of classification accuracy as overall accuracy of 91.71 % was achieved for pixel-based classification. The method also displays enhanced efficiency over common classification algorithms as the time taken to make predictions about the data is reduced considerably for a set of dense LiDAR data. This shows positive foresight of making use of data mining and machine learning to handle large volume of LiDAR data and can go a long way in augmenting efficient processing of LiDAR data.

description: Excerpts from the report: Acala 1517D and Pima S-2 are new varieties of cotton that have been developed very recently through research on G. hirsutum and G. barbadense, respectively. At present, spindle-type mechanical harvesters have virtually replaced hand pickers. Experimental high-capacity roller gins have been made in the laboratory and by manufacturers of gin machinery and are now in commercial use. In the ginning and marketing of cotton, there has been an increase in roller ginning of first-picked, handpicked upland cotton. This has been done to provide industry with several thousand bales of high-grade upland fiber that has relatively few neps and that can command a premium to offset the relatively high cost of ginning with the roller gins. On the other hand, several thousand bales of late, rough-harvested and ground-harvested, low-grade Pima cotton recently have been saw ginned. Consequently, to provide up-to-date information on recent developments and practices in the ginning of cotton in the Southwest, this report describes the results of comprehensive tests among three types of cotton gins used in the ginning of two new varieties of cotton picked during three harvest periods. Differences are reported in measurements of ginning performance, cottonseed, fiber qualities, spinning performance, and spinning qualities.

description: Matching and fusion of 3D point clouds, such as close range laser scans, is important for creating an integrated 3D model data infrastructure. The Iterative Closest Point algorithm for alignment of point clouds is one of the most commonly used algorithms for matching of rigid bodies. Evidently, scans are acquired from different positions and might present different data characterization and accuracies, forcing complex data-handling issues. The growing demand for near real-time applications also introduces new computational requirements and constraints into such processes. This research proposes a methodology to solving the computational and processing complexities in the ICP algorithm by introducing specific performance enhancements to enable more efficient analysis and processing. An Octree data structure together with the caching of localized Delaunay triangulation-based surface meshes is implemented to increase computation efficiency and handling of data. Parallelization of the ICP process is carried out by using the Single Instruction, Multiple Data processing scheme – based on the Divide and Conquer multi-branched paradigm – enabling multiple processing elements to be performed on the same operation on multiple data independently and simultaneously. When compared to the traditional non-parallel list processing the Octree-based SIMD strategy showed a sharp increase in computation performance and efficiency, together with a reliable and accurate alignment of large 3D point clouds, contributing to a qualitative and efficient application.
title: A nation of those without a state: a case study of nationalism regarding piracy in the Atlantic before and during the Golden Age
Creators: name: Peters, Jessica Lyn
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2013

description:
Painted against the backdrop of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries this thesis utilizes piracy, in its many facets, as a case study for tracing the development of nationalism in a heterogeneous people. Employing an Atlantic perspective of study, and accounting for change over time, the relationship of the pirates to European powers and the colonists is considered to analyze developments in: the profession, the evolution of the definition of piracy, and investigate theories of nationalism. During this time the Atlantic was more important than ever before as European powers struggled to assert authority in the New World and as trade with the colonies brought goods and people to the coast of the Americas. The New World offered opportunity for groups such as pirates to develop into their own as it offered a land beyond the established authority of the European government systems. Because of a variety of factors privateers and pirates flourished during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries eventually evolving into a era academia has labeled the Golden Age of Piracy. The challenges presented to historians and academics of tracing a people with no land to call their own is discussed as well as the impact these challenges have had on the study of piracy.

Motivated by a characterization of the super Ricci flow developed by McCann-Topping, we introduce the notion of a super Ricci flow for a family of distance metrics defined on the disjoint union $\MM$. In particular, we show such a super Ricci flow property holds provided the distance function between points in $M_1$ and $M_2$ evolves by the heat equation. We also discuss possible applications and examples.

description: In large volume models reheating is driven by the decays of the volume modulus to the visible sector, while the decays to its axion partners result in dark radiation. In this article we discuss the impact of loop corrections on the only model-independent visible decay channel: the decay into Higgs pairs via a Giudice-Masiero term. Including such radiative effects leads to a more precise determination of the relative fraction of dark radiation, since by contrast all loop corrections to the volume axion decay mode are Planck suppressed. Assuming an MSSM spectrum and that the Giudice-Masiero coupling is fixed at the string scale by a shift symmetry in the Higgs sector, we arrive at a prediction for the effective number of neutrinos. The result turns out to be too large to be consistent with data, highly disfavouring the minimal model.

description: The increasing availability of multitemporal satellite remote sensing data offers new potential for land cover analysis. By combining data acquired at different epochs it is possible both to improve the classification accuracy and to analyse land cover changes at a high frequency. A simultaneous classification of images from different epochs that is also capable of detecting changes is achieved by a new classification technique based on Conditional Random Fields (CRF). CRF provide a probabilistic classification framework including local spatial and temporal context. Although context is known to improve image analysis results, so far only little research was carried out on how to model it. Taking into account context is the main benefit of CRF in comparison to many other classification methods. Context can be already considered by the choice of features and in the design of the interaction potentials that model the dependencies of interacting sites in the CRF. In this paper, these aspects are more thoroughly investigated. The impact of the applied features on the classification result as well as different models for the spatial interaction potentials are evaluated and compared to the purely label-based Markov Random Field model.
AlPcS(2a)-Mediated Photochemical Internalization of Bleomycin and Concurrent Hyperthermia of Multicellular Tumor Spheroids

description: Treatments for glioblastoma multiforme and invasive ductal carcinoma involve surgical resection and adjuvant or concurrent targeted therapies. The goal of the secondary treatment is to reduce the cancer cells in the resection margin and other areas of suspected involvement. Photochemical internalization is a targeted therapy using light to activate photosensitizers embedded in cellular structures to improve the delivery of macromolecules within the cell.
In a previous study, optimized treatment parameters including radiant exposure, and irradiance, concentration of AlPcS(2a), temperature, and the concentration of bleomycin were determined for human ACBT glioma multicell spheroids. The current study investigates the effectiveness of the ACBT-optimized concurrent PCI/hyperthermia treatment for F98 rat glioma and MCF-7 human invasive ductal carcinoma spheroids. The combination of photochemical internalization and hyperthermia was shown to be more effective than either treatment modality alone and, in all cases, the combined treatments interacted in a synergistic manner.

In nuclear medium, the eta' meson mass may be reduced due to partial restoration of chiral symmetry. In case of sufficiently large mass reduction and small absorption width of eta' at normal nuclear density, peak structures of eta' mesic states in 11C will be observed near the eta' emission threshold even in an inclusive spectrum. The experiment will be carried out at GSI with proton beam supplied by SIS using FRS as a spectrometer. The detail of the experiment is described.

description: In this paper we propose a novel workflow for the estimation of global image orientations given relative orientations between pairs of overlapping images. Our approach is convex and independent on initial values. First, global rotations are estimated in a relaxed semidefinite program (SDP) and refined in an iterative least squares adjustment in the tangent space of SO(3). A critical aspect is the handling of outliers in the relative orientations. We present a novel heuristic graph based approach for filtering the relative rotations that outperforms state-of-the-art robust rotation averaging algorithms. In a second part we make use of point-observations, tracked over a set of overlapping images and formulate a linear homogeneous system of equations to transfer the scale information between triplets of images, using estimated global rotations and relative translation directions. The final step consists of refining the orientation parameters in a robust bundle adjustment. The proposed approach handles outliers in the homologous points and relative orientations in every step of the processing chain. We demonstrate the robustness of the procedure on synthetic data. Moreover, the performance of our approach is illustrated on real world benchmark data.
Always Away

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: At any given time, there are pages of notes and thoughts running through our minds; these have to come out in some way. In order to stay sane, to stay human, I write poems. These poems are interested in breath and space, memory and nostalgia, loss and water. Each of these ideas has its own fit as part of the poem as well as part of life and being alive. Human emotion is varied through these. Observation and perception, turned into poems through the very physical act of putting words onto a page, allow these memories and experiences to live on as physical relics. My poems are always working with space--of the page and location. The space afforded to each line, each word, is deliberate and crucial; the pauses created by the whitespace deliver the breath of the line and the weight each line necessitates. My poems were begging to breathe--they needed to be freed from the invisible box that seemed to be containing them. This allowed my writing to be more honest to the experience being conveyed.
My time spent abroad in Barcelona as part of my degree requirement for this program was an experience that not just allowed, but forced me to be more conscious in my writing. I heard English nowhere except for the page. The poems produced during and after those months ("Barcelona Tableaux") are not an exact, detailed record of my experience, but are rather a breath into the memory of my experience. Poetry retains the dead in the beauty of the undead. Nothing can be brought back, not exactly, but we recognize and remember or imagine, so the people and places of the past--things that have been lost--are never truly gone. They live on in poems, where they can be returned to time and time again.
Of course, poetry is constantly dealing with life and death. Because a poem is a recording of the poet's experience, however abstractly, it must be in conversation with humanity, with what it means to be human. My poems are grappling with life and death in terms of space and loss. The whitespace on the page is, in addition to breath, absence. The title of this manuscript, "Always Away," stems from a realization that indeed I have always been far away whenever a loved one has died, but further, it thinks about the gaps between experience, memory, and what finally gets translated to the page. These, too, are human experiences that are, to me, simply fascinating. The failure of memory, which often leads to nostalgia, leaves us with beatific images of our past, and also causes us to pause--to breathe--while recalling or retelling the event.
The poems in this thesis are always struggling to find the truth of the experience. They want to breathe and to feel alive. When the poems are read aloud, the whitespace forces the reader to take these breaths with the line of the poem, to feel the music in the life of the language.

Mer

description: Mer begins with a prologue in which the ten-year-old title character and her parents, who have renamed themselves River and Willow, are in Arctic Alaska. There they have an experience that impacts Mer so much she ends up walking away from them and into the Brooks Range, the northernmost mountain range in Alaska, alone.
After that, the novel functions as three novellas told from three different first person perspectives -- that of Ada, Mer's grandmother, that of Willow, her mother, and Mer herself. Each is set in a different time and place.
Ada, the grandmother and the subject of the first novella, is an orphan in 1929 New York. She rides the orphan train, a progenitor of the foster care movement, in search of Christian foster parents and is taken in by a couple in rural Louisiana. This couple lives deep in one of the swamps connecting to the bayous near the girls' school and convent in New Iberia. She, too, ends up running away. Her story covers 1929 to 1942 and the beginning of World War II, as well as her eventual marriage, her relationship with her foster parents, and her relationship with her foster mother's mother.
The third perspective and second novella is Willow's, around 1990. She is an unconventional artist both reveling in and decrying others' reactions to her work -- when her section begins, she is using bones she's gathered from the nearby cemetery as material for a sculpture. When she is sentenced to community service, she meets River and the group of not-quite hippies with him. She runs away with them to New Orleans, where she uses a lot of drugs, paints, alienates others, gets pregnant, wonders if she's falling apart, and begins to question her art and thus her definition of herself.
The book then returns to Mer a little earlier than we last left her. She and her parents have been on a pan-American road trip since before she was born. In Las Vegas she makes friends with Carl, a homeless Alaskan piano player, and Damon, the son of a Cirque du Soleil performer. Willow leaves River for a Strip-based poker player named Fish. Throughout this section, Mer gets a better sense of her parents and who they are. She's an imaginative girl, and the story is told partially through the stories she absorbs. After she and her parents flee Las Vegas, the book returns to its initial storyline -- the family's time in the Arctic -- and picks up where the prologue left off.

description: Describing minimal generating set of a toric ideal is a well-studied and difficult problem. In 1980 White conjectured that the toric ideal associated to a matroid is equal to the ideal generated by quadratic binomials corresponding to symmetric exchanges. We prove White's conjecture up to saturation, that is that the saturations of both ideals are equal. In the language of algebraic geometry this means that both ideals define the same projective scheme. Additionally we prove the full conjecture for strongly base orderable matroids.

description: Supervised classification of remotely sensed images is a classical method to update topographic geospatial databases. The task requires training data in the form of image data with known class labels, whose generation is time-consuming. To avoid this problem one can use the labels from the outdated database for training. As some of these labels may be wrong due to changes in land cover, one has to use training techniques that can cope with wrong class labels in the training data. In this paper we adapt a label noise tolerant training technique to the problem of database updating. No labelled data other than the existing database are necessary. The resulting label image and transition matrix between the labels can help to update the database and to detect changes between the two time epochs. Our experiments are based on different test areas, using real images with simulated existing databases. Our results show that this method can indeed detect changes that would remain undetected if label noise were not considered in training.

When a predictive model deviates too much from the true motion of a pedestrian, which is often the case in crowded scenes due to unpredicted accelerations, the data association is prone to fail. In this paper we propose a novel predictive model on the basis of Gaussian Process Regression. The model takes into account the motion of every tracked pedestrian in the scene and the prediction is executed with respect to the velocities of all interrelated persons. As shown by the experiments, the model is capable of yielding more plausible predictions even in the presence of mutual occlusions or missing measurements. The approach is evaluated on a publicly available benchmark and outperforms other state-of-the-art trackers.

description: Figure-ground image segmentation has been a challenging problem in computer vision. Apart from the difficulties in establishing an effective framework to divide the image pixels into meaningful groups, the notions of figure and ground often need to be properly defined by providing either user inputs or object models. In this paper, we propose a novel graph-based segmentation framework, called superpixel cut. The key idea is to formulate foreground segmentation as finding a subset of superpixels that partitions a graph over superpixels. The problem is formulated as Min-Cut. Therefore, we propose a novel cost function that simultaneously minimizes the inter-class similarity while maximizing the intra-class similarity. This cost function is optimized using parametric programming. After a small learning step, our approach is fully automatic and fully bottom-up, which requires no high-level knowledge such as shape priors and scene content. It recovers coherent components of images, providing a set of multiscale hypotheses for high-level reasoning. We evaluate our proposed framework by comparing it to other generic figure-ground segmentation approaches. Our method achieves improved performance on state-of-the-art benchmark databases.

description: Compressed sensing is designed to measure sparse signals directly in a compressed form. However, most signals of interest are only "approximately sparse", i.e. even though the signal contains only a small fraction of relevant (large) components the other components are not strictly equal to zero, but are only close to zero. In this paper we model the approximately sparse signal with a Gaussian distribution of small components, and we study its compressed sensing with dense random matrices. We use replica calculations to determine the mean-squared error of the Bayes-optimal reconstruction for such signals, as a function of the variance of the small components, the density of large components and the measurement rate. We then use the G-AMP algorithm and we quantify the region of parameters for which this algorithm achieves optimality (for large systems). Finally, we show that in the region where the GAMP for the homogeneous measurement matrices is not optimal, a special "seeding" design of a spatially-coupled measurement matrix allows to restore optimality.

Vulnerability in schizophrenia: a phenomenological anthropological approach
Creators: name: Irarrázaval, Leonor
Publisher: name: InterCultural Philosophy
Year: 2018

description: Vulnerability, or simply put “the possibility of being hurt”, is not only considered a constituent aspect of human experience, illuminating essential aspects of who we are as individuals interacting with others, but it is also crucial in the manifestation of mental illness. In this paper, the specific vulnerability of patients with schizophrenia in the domain of intersubjectivity is analysed. This analysis is the result of several qualitative empirical studies and from the practice of psychotherapy. Three domains in which disturbances of intersubjectivity are manifested are described, which have been chosen because they seem relevant for psychotherapeutic purposes. Firstly, “de-personalization” is described, which implies difficulties in recognizing a sense of authorship or agency in self-experience. Secondly, “de-synchronization” is described, which refers to unilateral self-centered forms of referentiality, namely as “solipsistic” self-referentiality. In the third part, “de-contextualization” of symptomatology is described, which excludes the spatio-temporal dimension of personal history. In the conclusion, essential aspects of a “personalized” experience are revealed, emphasizing the treatment of the patient as an individual person, which might be a challenge to traditional, rather “impersonal” (and “ahistorical”) accounts of phenomenological psychopathology.

title: The initial effects of Kinesio Tape on shoulder joint position sense at increasing elevations
Creators: name: Aarseth, Lindsay M.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
Joint position sense (JPS) is a key factor for developing and maintaining motor pathways which manage neuromuscular control of joint. This neuromuscular control is important as it helps perform specialized tasks, especially at the shoulder where stability is sacrificed for mobility. Therefore, when there is damage to the joint or the surrounding tissues the mechanoreceptors are also impaired which alters a person's proprioception. As a result of alteration in proprioception one's sense of movement and JPS is also altered which in turn diminishes his/her ability to perform specialized tasks. In the present study, shoulder JPS was assessed at increasing elevations with and without the application of Kinesio Tape (KT). Thirty healthy non-overhead athletes, who had no previous shoulder pathologies, were recruited. Subjects attempted to actively replicate three target positions with and without the KT. The absolute and variable errors were analyzed for each position. The findings of this study indicate that at 90° elevation shoulder JPS is significantly affected by the application of KT.

description: In this paper we present a robust orientation approach for an imaging sensor flown on a micro-UAV based on image triplets. Our aim is to have the orientation available online, i.e. during image acquisition. The resulting point cloud and sensor orientations can then for instance be evaluated for navigation purposes of the UAV or to analyse the completeness of the point cloud. We use low quality imagery extracted from the downlink of an onboard PAL-camera. Trilinear constraints and cross-checked matches allow for a high robustness of the sensor orientation and the sparse 3D point cloud. In order to reach the goal of on-line processing given the large number of observations and unknowns, we make use of an incremental bundle adjustment. Estimated parameters are incrementally improved without explicitly considering previous observations. Our approach combines linear projective geometry for obtaining initial values using the trifocal tensor with non-linear perspective geometry for the estimation of the unknowns. This combination allows for a high precision of the estimation, while eliminating the need for initial values. We evaluate the performance of our approach by means of imagery we acquired of the facade of the Welfenschloss in Hannover, collected with a Microdrones md4-200 micro-UAV. The results are the orientation parameters of the images and a sparse 3D point cloud representing the object. They are compared to those from a commercial bundle adjustment software and analysed in terms of geometric precision.

description: Wenn Oberschlesier schimpfen, sagen sie „pieronie!". Wenn man etwas an Menschen auszusetzen hat, bezeichnet man sie ebenfalls als „Pierony". Ins Deutsche kann man dies mit Gauner oder Ganove übersetzen. Außerhalb Oberschlesiens ist das Wort zum Markenzeichen geworden, „Śląskie Pierony" nennt sich z.B. ein polnisches Kabarettduo im Radio. Der Ausdruck schaffte es nun auf das Titelblatt einer aufwendig produzierten polnischen Publikation und ist sicherlich der gestiegenen Bekanntheit des oberschlesischen Regionalismus der letzten Jahre (und Jahrzehnte) geschuldet, in denen die politische, aber auch die mediale, d.h. meinungsprägende „Zentrale" Warschau von einer neuen gesellschaftlichen Bewegung in der südlichen Provinz des Landes, wie es scheint, völlig überrascht wurde.

description: We solve a two dimensional model for polymer chain folding in the presence of mechanical pulling force ($f$) exactly using equilibrium statistical mechanics. Using analytically derived expression for the partition function we determine the phase diagram for the model in the $f$-temperature ($T$) plane. A square root singularity in the susceptibility indicates a second order phase transition from a folded to an unfolded state at a critical force ($f_c$) in the thermodynamic limit of infinitely long polymer chain. Surprisingly, the temperature dependence of $f_c$ shows a reentrant phase transition, which is reflected in an increase in $f_c$ as $T$ increases below a threshold value. For a range of $f$ values, the unfolded state is stable at both low and high temperatures. The high temperature unfolded state is stabilized by entropy whereas the low temperature unfolded state is dominated by favorable energy. The exact calculation could serve as a bench mark for testing approximate theories that are used in analyzing single molecule pulling experiments.
