Online Privacy in E-Commerce: Privacy Paradox, Sources of Privacy Concerns, and Attitudinal Ambivalence
Creators: name: Yu, Jongtae
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019
Subjects: Information technology

description: This dissertation highlights two important issues with regard to online privacy concerns in e-commerce: (1) why can't privacy concerns explain online behavior? and (2) what are the essential sources of privacy concerns in e-commerce? In Chapter 2, we explain the discrepancy between people's privacy concerns and their willingness to personal information to an online vender, which is called the online privacy paradox. Drawing on construal level theory (CLT), we suggest that people form privacy concerns in a general situation by construing benefits of information disclosure and privacy risk. Due to high psychological distance, the evaluations of benefits and privacy risk become abstract and superficial (i.e., high-level construal). However, as people traverse to a particular situation, the evaluations of those factors become more specific, due to decreased psychological distance (i.e., low-level construal). When high- and low-level construals are consistent, privacy concerns significantly affect information disclosure in a particular situation. In contrast, when the construals are inconsistent, privacy concerns can't explain information disclosure in a particular situation (i.e., privacy paradox). In Chapter 3, we attempt to identify essential antecedents of privacy concerns in ecommerce. Drawing on protection motivation theory, we select privacy risk, self-efficacy, and response efficacy as generic determinants of privacy concerns. We also identify notice and consent of information practice as privacy concerns' determinants specific to ecommerce. According to our results, while privacy risk and consent had direct effects on privacy concerns, self-efficacy and notice indirectly impact privacy concerns through privacy risk. In Chapter 4, we seek to explain the inconsistent direct and indirect effect of privacy concerns by examining attitudinal ambivalence. We develop two alternative models: direct ambivalence and indirect ambivalence model. The direct ambivalence model conceptualizes privacy concerns as attitude and assumes the direct effect of privacy concerns. The effect of privacy concerns is moderated by the ambivalence of privacy selfefficacy and privacy risk. On the other hand, indirect ambivalence model conceptualizes privacy concerns as individual characteristics and assumes indirect effect of privacy concerns via favorability of information disclosure. The relation between favorability and information disclosure is moderated by the ambivalence of benefits and privacy risk.
Conditional probabilities and density operators in quantum modeling

description: Based on a recent proof of free choices in linking equations to the experiments they describe, I clarify relations among some purely mathematical entities featured in quantum mechanics (probabilities, density operators, partial traces, and operator-valued measures), thereby allowing applications of these entities to the modeling of a wider variety of physical situations. Conditional probabilities associated with projection-valued measures are expressed by introducing conditional density operators, identical in some but not all cases to the usual reduced density operators. By lifting density operators to the extended Hilbert space featured in Neumark's theorem, I show an obstacle to extending conditional density operators to arbitrary positive operator-valued measures (POVMs); however, tensor products of POVMs are compatible with conditional density operators. By way of application, conditional density operators together with the free choice of probe particles allow the so-called postulate of state reductions to be replaced by a theorem. A second application demonstrates an equivalence between one form of quantum key distribution and another, allowing a formulation of individual eavesdropping attacks against transmitted-state BB84 to work also for entangled-state BB84.

Open Label Trial of Creatine as a Treatment Option for Methamphetamine Using Females
Creators: name: Hellem, Tracy Lynn
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Methamphetamine (MA) is a powerful drug that results in short- and long-term consequences for users. Study findings suggest that female MA users have higher rates of comorbid depression and anxiety than male MA users. Further, neuroimaging studies have found that female MA users have lower levels of brain phosphocreatine (PCr) measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) brain compared to male MA users. Treatment options for the comorbidity of depression and MA dependence are limited. The results of an integrative review of treatment options for comorbid MA use and depression suggest that psychological, a combination of psychological with pharmacological and pharmacological approaches are not effective. Further, gender differences with response to treatment are understudied. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used in drug abuse research to investigate brain chemistry changes with substance use. There have been nearly 50 publications over the past 10 years that describe MRS changes in substance use disorders. While MRS studies of MA dependence have been most frequently studied, information from all drug classes have demonstrated quantitative correlates of injury relevant to substance use. The nutritional supplement creatine has been used as an adjunctive treatment for depression in female adolescents and adults. Further, creatine has been associated with increased brain PCr levels in healthy volunteers. Considering, a within subjects study was iv conducted using 8 weeks of daily creatine to treat depression among female MA users. Primary outcomes of the study included Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) scores and brain PCr levels. Secondary outcomes included Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) scores and substance use. The results of the study showed a reduction in HAMD scores as early as week 2. Brain PCr levels were found to be higher at the second scan compared to the first scan (M = 0.233, SD = 0.009, t(9) = -2.905, p < .01). Also, BAI scores were reduced as early as week 1, as well as a reduction by over half in MApositive urine drug screens by week 6 (baseline: 50% MA positive urine drug screens; week 6: 21.4%). Finally, creatine was well tolerated.

description: There is an urgent need to build capacity in cocoa producing countries of sensory panels and quality laboratories for the assessment of cocoa quality and flavour, for a better understanding of potential for increased value and profitable production. Cocoa of Excellence is leading the way in partnership with key sensory experts and organisations in the development of International Standards on the Assessment of Cocoa Quality and Flavour (ISCQF).
Physical reference samples are critical for supporting training sensory evaluation and generating a commonly agreed understanding through a common language and glossary of terms. Therefore, establishing physical references for cocoa products are essential to ensure sensory evaluation panel members' performance in terms of repeatability, discrimination and alignment.
Several food products such as olive oil, wine and coffee have developed standard procedures for sensory evaluation. These include glossaries of terms, physical reference samples for odours and flavours, and evaluation forms. These provide useful models to promote science-based approaches to assessing cocoa quality.
The objective of this research was to review the use of physical reference samples of different food products, to guide the development of such references for training and calibration of sensory evaluation panels for cocoa products.
A review of literature of 149 articles was carried out. The main references were grouped by product and analysed on what type of sensory analysis method was used, for which purpose, and the type of reference samples used. The analysis resulted in recommendations for the development of cocoa-specific physical references.
Additionally, this paper shows preliminary results of pilot trainings carried out using the Cocoa of Excellence set of physical reference of different types including chemical, food-based, non-food-based and matrix based. The results show improvements at individual and panel level and show the potential of these to strengthen the capacity of national cocoa liquor sensory evaluation panels.
Keywords: physical reference samples, sensory evaluation, quality assessment, training, calibration.

Optimization of Crispr/CAS9 Technology to Study HIV Latency in Primary CD4+ T Cells
Creators: name: Shakya, Binita
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019
Subjects: Medicine

description: HIV-1 latently infected cells are the major hurdle impeding viral eradication despite the development of ART (Anti-retroviral therapy), which works by inhibiting various viral proteins necessary for HIV-1 replication. Even after years of daily regimens of ART therapy, HIV-1 reemerges once the ART is discontinued. This is because HIV-1 can go latent or quiescent in resting CD4+ cells. These resting CD4+ cells contain integrated HIV DNA within the genetic material in the host cell, but no viral proteins are produced, and they are thus immune to circulating antiretroviral drugs. For that purpose, it is essential to understand the mechanisms and genes involved in the development, maintenance, and activation of latency. To investigate functions of transcripts and pathways critical for biological processes and disease mechanisms, gene knockout is a very useful technique. We propose to use the CRISPR/ cas9 system to knockout target genes and test if these genes are involved in the development of latency or are involved in the reactivation of latently infected cells

description: Executive Summary First generation (First Gen) students—those who do not have a parent or guardian who attained a four-year degree—represent a third of all college students in the United States. At the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass), a quarter of the undergraduate student body is First Gen. Nationally as well as locally, First Gen students often experience lower rates of academic success due to factors such as a lack of family familiarity with the college going process, lower levels of academic preparation, and limited finances. UMass Amherst is undertaking efforts to improve conditions for success for First Gen students. As part of a steering committee on First Gen issues, the Center for Student Success Research (CSSR) led a mixed methods study of First Gen students on campus during the 2018-2019 academic year. The aim of the study is to better understand who First Gen students at UMass are, the experiences they are having, and how to better serve them.
Toward a unified light curve model for multi-wavelength observations of V1974 Cygni (Nova Cygni 1992)

description: We present a unified model for optical, ultraviolet (UV), and X-ray light curves of V1974 Cygni (Nova Cygni 1992). Based on an optically thick wind model of nova outbursts, we have calculated light curves and searched for the best fit model that is consistent with optical, UV, and X-ray observations. Our best fit model is a white dwarf (WD) of mass 1.05 M_\sun with a chemical composition of X=0.46, C+N+O=0.15, and Ne = 0.05 by mass weight. Both supersoft X-ray and continuum UV 1455 Ålight curves are well reproduced. Supersoft X-rays emerged on day ~ 250 after outburst, which is naturally explained by our model: our optically thick winds cease on day 245 and supersoft X-rays emerge from self-absorption by the winds. The X-ray flux keeps a constant peak value for ~ 300 days followed by a quick decay on day ~ 600. The duration of X-ray flat peak is well reproduced by a steady hydrogen shell burning on the WD. Optical light curve is also explained by the same model if we introduce free-free emission from optically thin ejecta. A t^{-1.5} slope of the observed optical and infrared fluxes is very close to the slope of our modeled free-free light curve during the optically thick wind phase. Once the wind stops, optical and infrared fluxes should follow a t^{-3} slope, derived from a constant mass of expanding ejecta. An abrupt transition from a t^{-1.5} slope to a t^{-3} slope at day ~ 200 is naturally explained by the change from the wind phase to the post-wind phase on day ~ 200. The development of hard X-ray flux is also reasonably understood as shock-origin between the wind and the companion star. The distance to V1974 Cyg is estimated to be ~ 1.7 kpc with E(B-V)= 0.32 from the light curve fitting for the continuum UV 1455 Å.

It generalizes the standard theory of quantum error-correction, and provides a unified framework for topics such as quantum error-correction, decoherence-free subspaces, and noiseless subsystems. This paper develops (a) easily applied algebraic and information-theoretic conditions which characterize when operator quantum error-correction is feasible; (b) a representation theorem for a class of noise processes which can be corrected using operator quantum error-correction; and (c) generalizations of the coherent information and quantum data processing inequality to the setting of operator quantum error-correction.

description: Today's mobile phone users are faced with large numbers of notifications on social media, ranging from new followers on Twitter and emails to messages received from WhatsApp and Facebook. These digital alerts continuously disrupt activities through instant calls for attention. This paper examines closely the way everyday users interact with notifications and their impact on users' emotion. Fifty users were recruited to download our application NotiMind and use it over a five-week period. Users' phones collected thousands of social and system notifications along with affect data collected via self-reported PANAS tests three times a day. Results showed a noticeable correlation between positive affective measures and keyboard activities. When large numbers of Post and Remove notifications occur, a corresponding increase in negative affective measures is detected. Our predictive model has achieved a good accuracy level using three different classifiers "in the wild" (F-measure 74-78% within-subject model, 72-76% global model). Our findings show that it is possible to automatically predict when people are experiencing positive, neutral or negative affective states based on interactions with notifications. We also show how our findings open the door to a wide range of applications in relation to emotion awareness on social and mobile communication.

description: In this work, vertical tunnel field-effect transistors (v-TFETs) based on vertically stacked heretojunctions from 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials are studied by atomistic quantum transport simulations. The switching mechanism of v-TFET is found to be different from previous predictions. As a consequence of this switching mechanism, the extension region, where the materials are not stacked over is found to be critical for turning off the v-TFET. This extension region makes the scaling of v-TFETs challenging. In addition, due to the presence of both positive and negative charges inside the channel, v-TFETs also exhibit negative capacitance. As a result, v-TFETs have good energy-delay products and are one of the promising candidates for low power applications.

description: We describe observations of the 2003 outburst of the hard-spectrum X-ray transient 4U 1901+03 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The outburst was first detected in 2003 February by the All-Sky Monitor, and reached a peak 2.5-25 keV flux of 8x10^-9 ergs/cm^2/s (around 240 mCrab). The only other known outburst occurred 32.2 yr earlier, likely the longest presently known recurrence time for any X-ray transient. Proportional Counter Array (PCA) observations over the 5-month duration of the 2003 outburst revealed a 2.763 s pulsar in a 22.58 d orbit. The detection of pulsations down to a flux of 3x10^-11 ergs/cm^2/s (2.5-25 keV), along with the inferred long-term accretion rate of 8.1x10^-11 M_sun/yr (assuming a distance of 10 kpc) suggests that the surface magnetic field strength is below ~5x10^11 G. The corresponding cyclotron energy is thus below 4 keV, consistent with the non-detection of resonance features at high energies. Although we could not unambiguously identify the optical counterpart, the lack of a bright IR candidate within the 1' RXTE error circle rules out a supergiant mass donor. The neutron star in 4U 1901+03 probably accretes from the wind of a main-sequence O-B star, like most other high-mass binary X-ray pulsars. The almost circular orbit e=0.036 confirms the system's membership in a growing class of wide, low-eccentricity systems in which the neutron stars may have received much smaller kicks as a result of their natal supernova explosions.

description: The small-strip Thin Gap Chamber (sTGC) will be used for both triggering and precision tracking purposes in the upgrade of the ATLAS forward muon spectrometer. Both sTGC pad and strip detectors are readout by a Trigger Data Serializer (TDS) ASIC in the trigger path. This ASIC has two operation modes to prepare trigger data from pad and strip detectors respectively. The pad mode (pad-TDS) collects the firing status for up to 104 pads from one detector layer and transmits the data at 4.8 Gbps to the pad trigger extractor every 25 ns. The pad trigger extractor collects pad-TDS data from eight detector layers and defines a region of interest along the path of a muon candidate. In the strip mode (strip-TDS), the deposited charges from up to 128 strips are buffered, time-stamped, and a trigger matching procedure is performed to read out strips underneath the region of interest. The strip-TDS output is also transmitted at 4.8 Gbps to the following FPGA processing circuits. Details about the ASIC design and test results are presented in this paper.

description: The present study investigated Oral Reading Fluency and its ability to predict academic achievement in language arts and mathematics on 6,484 first through fourth grade students. Student, teacher, and school information from the 2006-2007 academic school year was collected from databases maintained by Salt Lake City School District. The information indicated that the student sample was 45.3% Caucasian, 39.0% Hispanic, and 15.6% Other (Non-Caucasian, Non-Hispanic). Data on a variety of variables were collected on 6,484 students, 330 teachers, and 29 schools. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze the data in a three-level model. The present investigation examined the impact of student, teacher, and school variables on Oral Reading Fluency, language arts achievement, and mathematics achievement. Findings indicated that there were significant differences between Oral Reading Fluency scores and the three ethnic student groups for language arts achievement and mathematics achievement. The results also indicated that the predictive power of Oral Reading Fluency decreased as grade levels increased. In addition, DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency predicted academic achievement in language arts and mathematics equally well for both English-Speaking students and English Language Learners. However, English-Speaking students outperformed English Language Learners in both language arts achievement and mathematics achievement. The results of the present investigation support the use of Oral Reading Fluency to predict academic achievement outcomes of culturally and linguistically diverse students.

Optical studies of spin-dependent processes in ferromagnets and semiconductors
Creators: name: McLaughlin, Ryan Michael
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Physics

description: This dissertation documents our experimental studies of spin-dependent electronic processes in two distinct condensed-matter systems with extremely different microscopic properties. The first of these two systems is the metallic alloy of Nickel and Iron (Ni81Fe19) known as permalloy, which is a commonly used metallic ferromagnet used routinely for spintronics applications. The field of spintronics is presently limited by the ability to generate spin currents "on demand," due to the low efficiency, high-power consumption, or difficult engineering constraints of existing techniques such as electrical spin injection, spin pumping, and optical spin alignment. One possible answer to these problems comes from the coupling between heat currents and spin currents in ferromagnets. This coupling, known as the spin Seebeck effect, might allow future spintronic devices to access a continuous supply of spin-polarized electrons simply by applying a temperature gradient to a ferromagnetic film. Analogously to the coupling between heat and charge currents (known as the Seebeck effect) that makes thermocouples and thermoelectric generators work, the spin Seebeck effect converts a heat current into a spin accumulation. We have developed and successfully applied a method for detecting this spin accumulation that is based on a highly sensitive magneto-optical Sagnac interferometer microscope, which is sensitive to spin accumulation without physical contact and without electrical artefacts. We show that this all-optical scheme can detect the elusive spin Seebeck effect in permalloy thin films, whose existence was previously debated by the field for almost a decade. Secondly, we have studied another system with rich potential applications to the fields of photovoltaics, computing, an potentially spintronics, which is amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H). We have found several spin-dependent electronic processes that govern the time evolution of bound electron-hole pairs, and therefore affect the rates of radiative recombination or dissociation of those pairs. These mechanisms may be studied either optically or electrically, through the magnetic field effects on photoluminescence (PL) or photoconductivity (PC). By fabricating appropriate films and devices and testing their PL/PC efficiency at very large magnetic fields (up to 20T), we derive important conclusions about the role of the spin degree of freedom in the behavior of a-Si:H.

description: Pathological lung segmentation (PLS) is an important, yet challenging, medical image application due to the wide variability of pathological lung appearance and shape. Because PLS is often a pre-requisite for other imaging analytics, methodological simplicity and generality are key factors in usability. Along those lines, we present a bottom-up deep-learning based approach that is expressive enough to handle variations in appearance, while remaining unaffected by any variations in shape. We incorporate the deeply supervised learning framework, but enhance it with a simple, yet effective, progressive multi-path scheme, which more reliably merges outputs from different network stages. The result is a deep model able to produce finer detailed masks, which we call progressive holistically-nested networks (P-HNNs). Using extensive cross-validation, our method is tested on multi-institutional datasets comprising 929 CT scans (848 publicly available), of pathological lungs, reporting mean dice scores of 0.985 and demonstrating significant qualitative and quantitative improvements over state-of-the art approaches.

description: We solve the problem of discriminating with minimum error probability two given Pauli channels. We show that, differently from the case of discrimination between unitary transformations, the use of entanglement with an ancillary system can strictly improve the discrimination, and any maximally entangled state allows to achieve the optimal discrimination. We also provide a simple necessary and sufficient condition in terms of the structure of the channels for which the ultimate minimum error probability can be achieved without entanglement assistance. When such a condition is satisfied, the optimal input state is simply an eigenstate of one of the Pauli matrices.

description: We report a NuSTAR observation of a solar microflare, SOL2015-09-01T04. Although it was too faint to be observed by the GOES X-ray Sensor, we estimate the event to be an A0.1 class flare in brightness. This microflare, with only 5 counts per second per detector observed by RHESSI, is fainter than any hard X-ray (HXR) flare in the existing literature. The microflare occurred during a solar pointing by the highly sensitive NuSTAR astrophysical observatory, which used its direct focusing optics to produce detailed HXR microflare spectra and images. The microflare exhibits HXR properties commonly observed in larger flares, including a fast rise and more gradual decay, earlier peak time with higher energy, spatial dimensions similar to the RHESSI microflares, and a high-energy excess beyond an isothermal spectral component during the impulsive phase. The microflare is small in emission measure, temperature, and energy, though not in physical size; observations are consistent with an origin via the interaction of at least two magnetic loops. We estimate the increase in thermal energy at the time of the microflare to be 2.4x10^27 ergs. The observation suggests that flares do indeed scale down to extremely small energies and retain what we customarily think of as "flarelike" properties.

description: We present new results for the 3-point correlation function, ζ, measured as a function of scale, luminosity and colour from the final version of the two-degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The reduced three point correlation function, Q_3 is estimated for different triangle shapes and sizes, employing a full covariance analysis. The form of Q_3 is consistent with the expectations for the Λ-cold dark matter model, confirming that the primary influence shaping the distribution of galaxies is gravitational instability acting on Gaussian primordial fluctuations. However, we find a clear offset in amplitude between Q_3 for galaxies and the predictions for the dark matter. We are able to rule out the scenario in which galaxies are unbiased tracers of the mass at the 9-sigma level. On weakly non-linear scales, we can interpret our results in terms of galaxy bias parameters. We find a linear bias term that is consistent with unity, b_1 = 0.93^{+0.10}_{-0.08} and a quadratic bias c_2 = b_2 /b_1 = -0.34^{+0.11}_{-0.08}. This is the first significant detection of a non-zero quadratic bias, indicating a small but important non-gravitational contribution to the three point function. Our estimate of the linear bias from the three point function is independent of the normalisation of underlying density fluctuations, so we can combine this with the measurement of the power spectrum of 2dFGRS galaxies to constrain the amplitude of matter fluctuations. We find that the rms linear theory variance in spheres of radius 8Mpc/h is σ_8 = 0.88^{+0.12}_{-0.10}, providing an independent confirmation of values derived from other techniques. On non-linear scales, where ξ>1, we find that Q_3 has a strong dependence on scale, colour and luminosity.

description: We review recent progress on the long-time regularity of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the water waves equations, in two and three dimensions. We begin by introducing the free boundary Euler equations and discussing the local existence of solutions using the paradifferential approach, as in [7, 1, 2]. We then describe in a unified framework, using the Eulerian formulation, global existence results for three dimensional and two dimensional gravity waves, see [70, 146, 145, 87, 5, 6, 79, 80, 136], and our joint result with Deng and Pausader [60] on global regularity for the 3D gravity-capillary model. We conclude this review with a short discussion about the formation of singularities, and give a few additional references to other interesting topics in the theory.

Entanglement monotones and maximally entangled states in multipartite qubit systems

Year: 2005

description: We present a method to construct entanglement measures for pure states of multipartite qubit systems. The key element of our approach is an antilinear operator that we call {\em comb} in reference to the {\em hairy-ball theorem}. For qubits (or spin 1/2) the combs are automatically invariant under $SL(2,\CC)$. This implies that the {\em filters} obtained from the combs are entanglement monotones by construction. We give alternative formulae for the concurrence and the 3-tangle as expectation values of certain antilinear operators. As an application we discuss inequivalent types of genuine four-, five- and six-qubit entanglement.

Ontology Based Data Integration (OBDI): A Pipeline to Integrate and Model High Dimensional Data
Creators: name: Raghunath, Sharanya
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Gene expression data repositories provide large and ever increasing data for secondary use by translational informatics methods. For example, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) houses over 37,000 experiments with the goal of supporting further research. To use these published results in a larger meta-analysis, consolidation of the data are needed; however, the data are largely unstructured, thus hindering data integration efforts. Here, I propose the use of a novel pipeline, Ontology Based Data Integration (OBDI), which uses an ontological approach to combine the samples across multiple GEO experiments. The ODBI pipeline uses machine learning algorithms that permit researchers to consolidate and analyze data across GEO experiments. Here, I demonstrate how using an ontological approach to integrate samples across experiments can be used to explore the immune response at a molecular level. As part of this process, a Web Ontology Language (OWL) was developed for each data platform used. OWL serves as a core component in successfully processing different sample types. Immunological experiments from GEO were consolidated to evaluate this methodology. The experiments included samples analyzed on expression arrays, BeadChips, and sequencing technologies. The integration of a complex biological system and the incorporation of different biological data types will validate the potential of OBDI. iv The nature of biological data is highly dimensional. OBDI incorporates tools and techniques that can handle the analysis of various biological data. The machine learning analysis performed within the OBDI pipeline successfully evaluated the newly annotated experiments and provides insights that can be further explored. The OBDI pipeline can help researchers annotate experiments using ontologies and analyze the annotated experiments. To successfully build the pipeline, ontologies served as the backbone of integrating samples from GEO Series records into machine learning experiments using ML-Flex. By using the OBDI pipeline, researchers can access the uncurated experiments from GEO (GEO Data Series) and annotate the data using the terms in the ontologies. This mechanism allows for the organization of data sets in relationship to new experiments independent of GEO's GDS curation process. The OBDI system allows ontologies to grow organically around a cluster of experiments. These experiments are then further analyzed in ML-Flex using machine learning algorithms. The curated experiments are analyzed in silico and the computational analyses are supported by the OBDI ontological system.
