description: Data representation is usually a natural form with their attribute values. On this basis, data processing is an attribute-centered calculation. However, there are three limitations in the attribute-centered calculation, saying, inflexible calculation, preference computation, and unsatisfactory output. To attempt the issues, a new data representation, named as hyper-classes representation, is proposed for improving recommendation. First, the cross entropy, KL divergence and JS divergence of features in data are defined. And then, the hyper-classes in data can be discovered with these three parameters. Finally, a kind of recommendation algorithm is used to evaluate the proposed hyper-class representation of data, and shows that the hyper-class representation is able to provide truly useful reference information for recommendation systems and makes recommendations much better than existing algorithms, i.e., this approach is efficient and promising.

description: $\textbf{Aims}$. With the ever-increasing survey speed of optical wide-field telescopes and the importance of discovering transients when they are still young, rapid and reliable source localization is paramount. We present AutoSourceID-Light (ASID-L), an innovative framework that uses computer vision techniques that can naturally deal with large amounts of data and rapidly localize sources in optical images. $\textbf{Methods}$. We show that the AutoSourceID-Light algorithm based on U-shaped networks and enhanced with a Laplacian of Gaussian filter (Chen et al. 1987) enables outstanding performances in the localization of sources. A U-Net (Ronneberger et al. 2015) network discerns the sources in the images from many different artifacts and passes the result to a Laplacian of Gaussian filter that then estimates the exact location. $\textbf{Results}$. Application on optical images of the MeerLICHT telescope demonstrates the great speed and localization power of the method. We compare the results with the widely used SExtractor (Bertin & Arnouts 1996) and show the out-performances of our method. AutoSourceID-Light rapidly detects more sources not only in low and mid crowded fields, but particularly in areas with more than 150 sources per square arcminute.

description: Numerical tools, such as OpenLoops, provide NLO scattering amplitudes for a very wide range of hard scattering amplitudes in a fully automated way. In order to match the numerical precision of current and future experiments, however, the higher precision of NNLO calculations is essential, and their automation in a similar tool highly desirable. In our approach, D-dimensional amplitudes are decomposed into loop-momentum tensor integrals with coefficients constructed in four dimensions and rational terms. We present a fully generic algorithm for the efficient numerical construction of the tensor coefficients, which constitutes an important building block for an automated NNLO tool.

description: We introduce an approach to counterfactual inference based on merging information from multiple datasets. We consider a causal reformulation of the statistical marginal problem: given a collection of marginal structural causal models (SCMs) over distinct but overlapping sets of variables, determine the set of joint SCMs that are counterfactually consistent with the marginal ones. We formalise this approach for categorical SCMs using the response function formulation and show that it reduces the space of allowed marginal and joint SCMs. Our work thus highlights a new mode of falsifiability through additional variables, in contrast to the statistical one via additional data.

description: The present work investigated effect of process parameters on phase behavior of aspirin (ASP) solution and ASP particle size during freeze concentration. ASP solution (3% w/w in 40% w/w TBA in water) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and cold stage polarized light microscopy (CSPLM) at cooling rates of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 30 °C/min. Significant reduction in D90 of ASP crystals (from 45.6 µm to 3.0 µm) was observed for ASP crystals in frozen solution with increase in cooling rate. Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics (NITC) of ASP in frozen solution using CSPLM revealed linear increase and an exponential increase in Avrami exponent and crystallization rate constant, respectively. NITC results indicated generation of higher nucleation sites and localized multidimensional crystallization with increase in cooling rate. Moreover, the high degree of supercooling and higher supersaturation achieved with increasing the cooling rate further supported the generation of more nuclei and smaller ASP crystals. Finally, the implication of phase behavior was established using lab scale freeze dryer, where particle size (D90) of 41.8, 14.8, and 7.1 µm was obtained with cooling rate of 1 °C/min, 15 °C/min and quench cooling, respectively. The proposed strategy can be applied for development of lyophilized product that can generate parenteral suspension upon reconstitution.

description: Quantum computing opens exciting opportunities for kernel-based machine learning methods, which have broad applications in data analysis. Recent works show that quantum computers can efficiently construct a model of a classifier by engineering the quantum interference effect to carry out the kernel evaluation in parallel. For practical applications of these quantum machine learning methods, an important issue is to minimize the size of quantum circuits. We present the simplest quantum circuit for constructing a kernel-based binary classifier. This is achieved by generalizing the interference circuit to encode data labels in the relative phases of the quantum state and by introducing compact amplitude encoding, which encodes two training data vectors into one quantum register. When compared to the simplest known quantum binary classifier, the number of qubits is reduced by two and the number of steps is reduced linearly with respect to the number of training data. The two-qubit measurement with post-selection required in the previous method is simplified to single-qubit measurement. Furthermore, the final quantum state has a smaller amount of entanglement than that of the previous method, which advocates the cost-effectiveness of our method. Our design also provides a straightforward way to handle an imbalanced data set, which is often encountered in many machine learning problems.

description: We consider the periapsis shifts in dark matter distribution with a dense core. We model the dark matter distribution as an isotropic gas sphere, the Emden polytropic sphere of index 5 in general relativity. This model has a parameter range where all the energy conditions are satisfied in the entire region. Within the parameter range, the asymptotic analysis for stellar motion allows us to identify two competing effects on the bounded motion: the general-relativistic effect and a local-density effect of matter. Furthermore, using nearly circular bound orbits, we demonstrate that retrograde periapsis shifts occur near the center, where the local-density effect dominates over the general-relativistic effect, whereas prograde periapsis shifts occur in the far region, where the general-relativistic effect dominates over the local-density effect. This result means that a natural explanation for the retrograde periapsis shifts is not the existence of exotic objects (e.g., naked singularities or wormholes) but the local distribution of physically reasonable matter on the stellar orbit. Furthermore, it also implies that the periapsis shift plays a crucial role in distinguishing black hole alternatives, such as dark matter cores, from a pure black hole.

description: The natural convective flow conditions of the University of Utah TRIGA Reactor (UUTR) were simulated using SolidWorks Flow Simulation, Ansys Fluent and PARET-ANL. The simulations were run at UUTR's maximum operating power of 90 kW and at theoretical higher powers to analyze the thermohydraulics aspects of increasing the reactor's power in determining a design basis for higher power including the cost estimate. It was found that the natural convection current becomes much more pronounced at higher power levels with vortex shedding also occurring. A departure from nucleate boiling analysis showed that while nucleate boiling begins near 210 kW it remains in this state and does not approach the critical heat flux at powers up to 500 kW. Two upgrades are proposed for extended operations: $5,000 to offer extended runtimes up to 150 kW and a theoretical, replacement cooling system with materials estimated at $180,000.

The challenges, adaptations, and areas of need that confront adult men with Hemophilia: a community-based qualitative study

description: Hemophilia is a rare genetic bleeding disorder that primarily affects men. Treatment is extremely expensive and places a tremendous financial burden on individuals with hemophilia and their family members. This study was conducted in response to Utah service provider concerns that men with hemophilia may be disengaged from their local community-based support network. The goal of the study was to gain a better understanding of the (a) unique challenges, (b) adaptations, and (c) physical, financial, psychological, and social needs of adult men with moderate to severe hemophilia. Three independent, but interrelated, studies were conducted with each of the aforementioned groups. The first study consisted of verbal qualitative interviews with 11 men with moderate severe hemophilia and written interviews that were provided by 3 additional affected men. The second study involved face-to-face interviews with Utah's two active HTC social workers and the collection of written interview data from 14 HTC social workers from surrounding regions. The third study included the following: six face-to-face interviews, two written interviews, three field interviews, ten one-on-one meetings, five field observations, and content analysis of 20 internet articles or online postings. I used a qualitative, grounded theory approach to analyze the data. Resilience theory provided a lens for interpreting the results. Findings indicate that men value the array of educational, social, and medical services that are available to them in the community but choose to manage their hemophilia independently. They often appear to feel ambivalent toward the services that are offered for reasons related to their age, current work and/or insurance status, prior personal history with the bleeding disorders community, strength of relationship with local service providers, and the degree to which their local HTC customizes services to meet their needs as adult men. Understanding this dynamic may be helpful in developing services that are more specifically tailored to the needs of adult men with hemophilia in addition to potentially providing stronger community-based support to men with other genetic disorders. A model of men's process of living with hemophilia is presented with specific recommendations for providing support.

description: This study chronicles the first 40 years of appearances by presidential candidates on late-night talk television beginning with Nixon and Kennedy in 1960 to Bush and Gore in 2000. This dissertation exposes a historical trend in presidential campaigning and uncovers an increasing use of late-night talk television as a political communication forum. Media use and influence have evolved from campaign to campaign and by the 2000 campaign, late-night talk show appearances were seemingly obligatory. Presidential campaigns are important to the governance of our country and our democratic society. Through these elections, the authority of the government is given by the approval of the American people. The quality of any particular election is a function of the interplay among candidates, media and voters. The media's role in this process is the conduit disseminating information, which voters learn about their candidate. The changing media environment, where television has become the primary source of political information and changes in how news covers elections, has influenced candidate strategies creating the use of alternative media venues. In today's mass media culture, voters seem to want more than just speeches and policy papers from their candidates. They want to get to know them as people. Media uses have shifted towards the age of image politics with the consequence of millions of voters make their decisions about candidates based on personal characteristics and likeability. Research has shown that personal qualities or "likeability" are stronger predictors of voter choices than issues or ideology. Candidates are now opting to use alternative avenues like late-night talk shows to communicate their messages and sell their likeable images. These shows have become a more efficient means to an end. Today image politics dominate and entertainment television genres are a significant factor in election outcomes. Entertainment shows may be useful to sell a candidate's image but the benefit to the democratic process is debatable.

description: We study higher-spin ($S \geq 1$) generalization of the one-dimensional Kondo-Heisenberg model, in which the local spin-$S$ moments of the Kondo lattice model interact with each other via the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction ($J_{\text{H}}$), by analytical and numerical methods. The strong-coupling (i.e., large Kondo-coupling) expansion maps out an insulating phase at half-filling whose magnetic correlation depends on the parity of $2S$ as well as a ferromagnetic metallic phase which dominates the strong-coupling region at generic fillings. Then, we carried out the Density-Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) simulations for $S=1$ to closely investigate the phase structure at large but finite Kondo coupling. At half-filling, the Kondo coupling and $J_{\text{H}}$ do not compete and the insulating spin-gapless phase is stable, while the competition of the two leads to a stepwise collapse of the strong-coupling ferromagnetism via an intervening dimerized insulating phase with power-law spin correlation at quarter-filling.

description: The prison population in the United States is growing at an alarming rate. Incarcerated women manifest distinctly greater psychological distress than do their male counterparts. In addition, these women demonstrate higher rates of mood disorder, substance use disorders, and personality disorders. Ranging from individual and group therapy to vocational training, corrections facilities use various forms of therapeutic interventions in an attempt to provide inmates with the resources necessary to develop healthy coping skills and function successfully in society. For many years corrections facilities have used animals as rehabilitative or therapeutic tools. However, there have been few studies looking at the efficacy of programs using animals with incarcerated populations. This dissertation presents how I examined the impact of an animal assisted therapy group with female inmates at the Utah State Prison. I present three separate articles that I submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Queer materialism
Queer sublime

description: At the outset, my thesis appears fairly straightforward. I'm writing a novel about a single father raising nine children on a dry farm in a small conservative town. Simple enough. But the construction of a work of fiction is far from simple, especially as I write about queer bodies that have negotiated human ecology without recognizable myths and stories to guide their life journeys. So my signpost, the focus of this thesis, is the ecological metaphor. That thing we cannot live without. That thing that always only hints at what might be real. That thing that is always subject to change. This thesis hunts for new ecological metaphors and new ways to describe and figure human bodies. How we talk about a queer body can do strange and marvelous things to the rethinking of ecological metaphor. In these stories there are metaphors old and new, religious and metaphysical, even metaphors pulled from relationships that exist but go unexamined. I don't intend for any one metaphor to stick and replace old ones. I merely explore the possibility of the queer body acting as (here comes the new metaphor) an ecotone-a place of mixing, composting, of radical interdisciplinary engagement. By opening a creative space to the rigors of scientific inquiry and the mysteries of our feral human imagination I hope to create stories couched not in any singular discursive register, but stories seething with uncertainty and a radical openness.
Women confronting the reality of multiple sclerosis: a qualitative model of self-healing

Subjects: Chronic illness

Uncertainty

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic debilitating disease that has an uncertain course. Although uncertainty is a universal experience in chronic illness, uncertainty in  MS is especially threatening to psychological well-being. Chronic illness, including conditions of disability, is one of our greatest health care problems as society ages.  Never completely cured, chronic illness forces people to adapt in order to cope with their new health status. Given these conditions, health educators will need to direct more attention to tertiary prevention and rehabilitation in health promotion and education. To  help people cope effectively, educators will need to understand how people attempt to manage their lives with chronic illness. Chronic illness is the human experience of suffering symptoms and distress. Healing is a personal experiential process of the transcendence of suffering. People transcend or move beyond suffering and integrate uncertainty into their lives by revising  their life narratives to find new purpose, meaning, and acceptance of illness and the self with illness. In this context;, self-healing is the tendency of human beings to bounce back from adversity through a desire to be effective in coping with their world even in the continuing presence of disease. The purpose of this study was to explore the question: How do women with the chronic illness multiple sclerosis cope with the distress of MS and move through and beyond suffering into a proactive process of self-healing? This qualitative study explored the phenomenon of self-healing and used grounded theory principles and methods to develop a theoretical model that provides an understanding of how the women coped with their illness and moved into a proactive coping and self-healing process. Coding and analysis of the participants' interviews found that they employed strategies of living one day at a time, focusing on positive aspects of the experience, and redefining values. Their efforts to change manifested in a need for autonomy, social support, and competence. Stories and metaphors from participants' interviews can help health educators understand the meaning of their self-healing. Health education approaches that use story and metaphor to facilitate and support individual self-healing  are suggested.
Differential entropy per particle as a probe of van Hove singularities and flat bands

description: In the present paper we derive the general expressions for the differential entropy per particle near van Hove singularities (vHs) in the density of states. The dependence of entropy per particle on chemical potential and temperature demonstrates different behavior depending on the type of vHs, and distinguishes high-order vHs with different divergence exponents and flat bands. In addition, it allows one to test the ``flatness" of the band in experiment. We compare the analytic predictions with the numerical calculation of the differential entropy for tight-binding models of graphene, Lieb lattice and square-octagon lattice. Our results show that the obtained analytic expressions capture the main features of the differential entropy, thus serving as a good probe for details of the density of states structure.

description: The purpose of this study was to describe self-regulation processes individuals with schizophrenia used to understand their illness, manage symptoms, and maintain wellness. Theories of illness cognition and stress vulnerability served as guides for selection of study variables. A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used to determine subjects' beliefs about and experiences with their illness. Data were collected on measures of illness representation (Illness Perception Questionnaire [IPQ]), early warning symptoms (Early Symptom Scale [ESS]), daily hassles (Daily Hassles Scale-Revised [DHS-R]), mood (Profile of Mood States-Short Form-[POMS-SF]), current symptoms (Psychiatric Assessment Scale [PAS] and the Symptom Scale of the IPQ [IPQ-S]). Semistructured interviews provided information about illness history, knowledge of illness processes, and learned methods for illness management. Sixty-nine subjects were recruited from five settings. Their mean age was 44.3 years; 54% were female, and 86% were single, divorced, or widowed. Forty-nine percent were diagnosed with schizophrenia, 36% with schizo-affective disorders, and 14% with psychosis, NOS. Average years of treatment were 19.2 and mean number of hospitalizations were 6.14. The IPQ measured subjects' beliefs about cause, time line, consequences, and control/cure of their illness. Causes were attributed to stress, heredity, state of mind, and other people. Subjects noted consequences from their long-term illness but believed they could control aspects of their illness. Internal consistency reliability was noted for consequences and symptom subscales only. Subjects selected similar symptoms across mood states, early warning symptoms, and current symptoms. Common experiences were trouble concentrating, difficulty remembering things, depression, worry, fatigue, tension, and nervousness. Subjects reported daily hassles concerning weight; trouble relaxing; regrets over past decisions; troubling thoughts about the future; being lonely; trouble with spelling, reading, and arithmetic; and filling out forms. Study variables that correlated with IPQ consequence and symptoms subscales were DHS-R and three subscales of the POMS-SF (e.g., fatigue, tension, and confusion). Illness histories noted symptom awareness, consequences, and efforts to control symptoms. Self-regulation activities suggested subjects used early warning symptoms, stress reduction activities, and help seeking from providers or self-help groups. The cross-sectional design of the study did not allow for prospective confirmation of subjects' self-regulation activities during illness instability.

description: In this paper, we introduce a new framework for generating synthetic vascular trees, based on rigorous model-based mathematical optimization. Our main contribution is the reformulation of finding the optimal global tree geometry into a nonlinear optimization problem (NLP). This rigorous mathematical formulation accommodates efficient solution algorithms such as the interior point method and allows us to easily change boundary conditions and constraints applied to the tree. Moreover, it creates trifurcations in addition to bifurcations. A second contribution is the addition of an optimization stage for the tree topology. Here, we combine constrained constructive optimization (CCO) with a heuristic approach to search among possible tree topologies. We combine the NLP formulation and the topology optimization into a single algorithmic approach. Finally, we attempt the validation of our new model-based optimization framework using a detailed corrosion cast of a human liver, which allows a quantitative comparison of the synthetic tree structure to the tree structure determined experimentally down to the fifth generation. The results show that our new framework is capable of generating asymmetric synthetic trees that match the available physiological corrosion cast data better than trees generated by the standard CCO approach.

title: Investigation of the molecular basis for p53-mediated metabolic regulation in head and neck cancer

description: Reprogramming energy metabolism, also known as the Warburg effect, has received considerable attention recently as a potential therapeutic target to improve the low survival outcomes of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN). New evidence has demonstrated that loss-of-function mutations in TP53, the most commonly mutated gene in SCCHN, promotes the Warburg effect, but how this is mediated is unknown. The aims of this thesis were primarily to use a panel of SCCHN cell lines with defined p53 status (including two sets of isogenic cell lines) and microplate-based extra-cellular oxygen and proton flux analysis to examine in detail whether the exhibited metabolic phenotype is determined by the status of p53. Secondary aims were to investigate the mechanism that underlies this role of p53 which could lead to the identification of novel potential therapeutic strategies for SCCHN. RNAi and plasmid transfection were used to manipulate the expression of TIGAR (TP53-inducible glycolysis and apoptosis regulator), a potential target mediator of the p53-responsive cellular machinery that regulates glucose metabolism, to try to identify the role that TIGAR play in the Warburg effect with respect to changes in metabolic phenotype and sensitivity to potential therapeutic agents. Metabolic profiling of SCCHN cells using microplate-based extra-cellular oxygen consumption and acidification measurements have shown that wild type TP53 SCCHN cells display higher oxygen consumption rates (OCR) compared to cells harbouring mutant TP53, while cells harbouring mutant TP53 showed significantly higher extracellular acidification rates (ECAR) in comparison to wild type TP53 cells. This indicates that the p53 status is a dominant determinant of metabolic reprogramming in SCCHN. My results also show that although TIGAR knockdown promotes glycolytic functions in wild type p53 cells, it promotes both mitochondrial and glycolytic functions in p53-null cells, but not in mutant p53 cells, which may suggest an alternative mechanism or a possible role of gain of function (GOF) that regulates the role of TIGAR in the absence of wild type p53. In addition, although TIGAR knockdown shows no significant change in the balance between glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration in p53-null and mutant p53 cells, it changes the balance towards aerobic glycolysis in wild type p53 cells, which indicates that the TIGAR role in the metabolic switch toward glycolysis is primarily regulated by p53. I also found that TIGAR-knockdown-mediated increase in glycolysis results in sensitising the wild type p53 SCCHNs to radiotherapy. Thus, it is plausible to speculate that identifying TIGAR inhibitors may prove to be a beneficial approach to treatment in the future.

description: Dynamical quantum phase transitions are at the forefront of current efforts to understand quantum matter out of equilibrium. Except for a few exactly solvable models, predictions of these critical phenomena typically rely on advanced numerical methods. However, those approaches are mostly restricted to one dimension, making investigations of two-dimensional systems highly challenging. Here, we present evidence of dynamical quantum phase transitions in strongly correlated spin lattices in two dimensions. To this end, we apply our recently developed cumulant method [Phys. Rev. X 11, 041018 (2021)] to determine the zeros of the Loschmidt amplitude in the complex plane of time and predict the crossing points of the thermodynamic lines of zeros with the real-time axis, where dynamical quantum phase transitions occur. We find the critical times of a two-dimensional quantum Ising lattice and the XYZ model with ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic couplings. We also show how dynamical quantum phase transitions can be predicted by measuring the initial energy fluctuations, for example, in quantum simulators or other engineered quantum systems.
