Forecasting Short-Term Road Surface Temperatures – A Neural Network-based Approach
Creators: Nowrin, Tasnia
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The ability to forecast road surface temperatures (RST) in advance is an important asset for winter maintenance (WRM) operations as it effectively reduces WRM costs through more efficient use of their maintenance resources, which in turn would improve road safety and mobility of traveling public during winter months. However, considering the number of road networks that must be monitored and the extent to which RST varies over time, WRM agencies have constantly been looking for better ways to generate accurate road weather forecasts as they strive to optimize their WRM services and provide safe travel conditions. Despite its significance, there exist significant gaps in knowledge and methods in current literature for generating reliable short-term RST forecasts. In addition, forecasting itself is a challenging task that often involves many unknown variables creating uncertainties through their interactions. As a result, forecasting accuracies may vary significantly across different regions – an important aspect that has been often neglected in the existing literature.

To tackle these issues, this thesis aims to develop highly reliable RST forecasting models using one of the most sophisticated and successful methods; namely, neural networks. In particular, this thesis attempts to assess the performances of the two uniquely developed neural network-based short-term forecasting models and investigate the hypothesis that geographical (e.g., latitude and altitude) attributes affect forecasting accuracy for improved generalization potentials.

RST measurements collected by six selected stationary road weather information systems (RWIS) stations in Alberta, Canada, were utilized to validate the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method developed herein. The findings indicate that the two developed models were found to generate highly accurate results. The first method using conventional artificial neural network (ANN) models yielded forecasts with mean absolute error (MAE) values of 0.74, 1.34, 1.82, 2.40, 2.84, and 3.30°C for 1-h, 2-h, 3-h, 4-h, 5-h, and 6-h ahead forecasts, respectively. The second method using long short-term memory (LSTM) models, on the other hand, generated even more promising results, with average MAE values of 0.63, 1.17, 1.79, 2.28, 2.74, 3.14°C for the 1-h, 2-h, 3-h, 4-h, 5-h, and 6-h forecasting horizons, respectively.

The novelty of this study lies in investigating the probable effect of several external factors on model performance, where it was revealed that forecasting horizon and geographical attributes influenced forecasting accuracies. Upon investigating the hypothesis that locational attributes affect forecasting accuracies, the results showed that accuracy improved with increasing latitude and decreasing elevations, which are worthwhile findings that can potentially lead to developing more refined models for generating highly accurate location-specific RST forecasts.

title: Tropomyosin-Based Effects of Acidosis on Thin-Filament Regulation During Muscle Fatigue
Creators: name: Scott, Brent
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Skeletal muscle fatigue is defined as a loss in the force/velocity generating capacity of a muscle. A portion of the loss in function is attributable to effects of acidosis (i.e. low pH) on the regulatory proteins, troponin and tropomyosin (Tm), which regulate the binding of myosin and actin in a calcium (Ca++) dependent manner. However, the relative role of troponin and Tm on myosin-actin function during acidosis is not clear, nor are the mechanisms underlying these effects. PURPOSE: To determine the role of Tm in the acidosis-induced depression of muscle function using isolated muscle proteins in an in vitro motility assay. METHODS: Three mutant constructs of Tm were expressed by replacing the two amino acid (histidine) residues most likely affected by low pH with alanine residues (H153A, H276A, H153A/H276A). These mutant constructs were compared to wild-type Tm (wt-Tm) in order to test whether the acidosis-induced charge change of the histidine amino acid governs the pH-dependent alteration of tropomyosin and therefore the decrease in maximal RTF velocity and Ca++-sensitivity. The effect of acidosis on regulated thin filament (RTF) function was determined by assessing the impact of low pH (pH 6.8) versus neutral pH (pH 7.4) on myosin’s ability to move RTFs in the motility assay as a function of increasing levels of Ca++. This was done separately for the wt-Tm and each structural variant. RESULTS: A two-way ANOVA (pH x Tm construct) revealed that acidosis significantly (p<0.05) depressed the maximal sliding velocity of the RTFs across all versions of Tm, but that the magnitude of the depression was similar among the wt and all of the Tm mutants. Acidosis did not significantly depress the sensitivity to Ca++ under the unloaded conditions of this assay (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the histidine residues in tropomyosin do not mediate the acidosis-induced depression in contraction velocity observed during muscle fatigue. However, since these residues may be more important in mediating the depression of force, we are currently testing the impact of the three mutant Tm constructs on the acidosis-induced depression in Ca++-sensitivity using a loaded in vitro motility assay.

The photochemical degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) derived from the leaves of River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) was examined, with a particular focus on the photochemical generation of CO2, consumption of O2, and the effect of particulate iron minerals on these photochemical reactions. Solutions of leaf leachate were irradiated with ultraviolet and visible light in the presence and absence of amorphous iron oxides. Addition of fresh iron oxide was found to increase the rate of photodegradation of the organic matter by up to an order of magnitude compared to the reactions without added iron oxide. The ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed was ~1:1 in both the presence and absence of iron oxyhydroxide. The reactivity of the iron oxides was dependent on the preparation method and decreased with increased storage time. These results suggest that photochemical reactions on particle surfaces should be considered when examining carbon transformation in aquatic ecosystems, especially at sites with potential for the production of iron oxyhydroxides.

An optical fibre technique for measuring the absorption of water-borne pigment in the present of significant suspended sediment concentration has been evaluated. Based on the absorption of the evanescent field of light propagating down a single glass (silica) fibre, the fibre evanescent field absorption (FEFA) technique has been demonstrated to be approximately 10-fold less sensitive to absorbing species than traditional bulk absorption methods. However, unlike traditional optical absorption measurements, the FEFA technique is insensitive to scattering by the suspended particles for particle concentrations expected in typical inland waters. A simple calculation estimates that this insensitivity persists for sediment concentrations up to 2000-fold those expected in Australian inland rivers. In addition to experimental results, a discussion of the potential operational use of this technique in measuring optical absorption properties of water containing suspended sediment is presented.
title: Mechanisms and Mitigation of Skeletal Muscle Fatigue in Single Fibers from Older Adults
Creators: name: Foster, Aurora
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Skeletal muscle fatigue is the contraction-induced decline in whole muscle force or power, and can be greater in older versus young adults. Fatigue primarily results from increased metabolism elevating phosphate (Pi) and hydrogen (H+), which alters myosin-actin interactions; however, which steps of the myosin-actin cross-bridge cycle are changed and their reversibility are unclear. PURPOSE: This study sought to: 1) Examine the effects of elevated Pi and H+ on molecular and cellular function, and 2) Test the ability of deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP), an alternative energy to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to reverse the contractile changes induced with high Pi and H+. METHODS: Maximal tension (force/cross-sectional area), myofilament mechanics and myosin-actin cross-bridge kinetics were measured in 214 single fibers (104 type 1) from the vastus lateralis of eight (4 men) healthy, sedentary older adults (71±1.3 years) under normal (5 mM Pi, pH 7.0), simulated fatigue (30 mM Pi, pH 6.2) and simulated fatigue with dATP conditions. RESULTS: Tension declined with high Pi and H+ in slow- (type I, 23%) and fast-contracting (type II, 28%) fibers due to fewer strongly bound myosin heads (28-48%) and slower cross-bridge kinetics (longer myosin attachment times (ton) (18-40%) and reduced rates of force production (18-30%)). Type I myofilaments became stiffer with high Pi and H+ (48%), which may have partially mitigated fatigue-induced tension reduction. Elevated Pi and H+ with dATP moderately improved force production similarly in both fiber types (8-11%) compared to high Pi and H+ with ATP. In type I fibers, high Pi and H+ with dATP returned the number of myosin heads strongly bound and ton to normal, while the rate of force production became faster than normal (16%). In type II fibers, high Pi and H+ with dATP did not change the number of myosin heads bound, but cross-bridge kinetics were 16-23% faster than normal. CONCLUSION: These results identified novel fiber-type specific changes in myosin-actin cross-bridge kinetics and myofilament stiffness that help explain fatigue-related force reduction in human single skeletal muscle fibers as well as an alternative energy source that partially to fully reverses contractile changes of elevated Pi and H+ that occur with fatigue.

description: Artifact-centric business process models have gained increasing momentum recently due to their ability to combine structural (i.e., data related) with dynamical (i.e., process related) aspects. In particular, two main lines of research have been pursued so far: one tailored to business artefact modeling languages and methodologies, the other focused on the foundations for their formal verification. In this paper, we merge these two lines of research, by showing how recent theoretical decidability results for verification can be fruitfully transferred to a concrete UML-based modeling methodology. In particular, we identify additional steps in the methodology that, in significant cases, guarantee the possibility of verifying the resulting models against rich first-order temporal properties. Notably, our results can be seamlessly transferred to different languages for the specification of the artifact lifecycles.

Alteration of astrocyte markers and phosphorylation of tau protein in kainic acid-treated animal model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Creators: Dahal, Abhishek
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Kainic acid, an analogue of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, when administered systemically can trigger seizures and neuronal loss in a manner that mirrors the neuropathology of human mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), which affects ~50million people globally. Evidence suggests that changes in astrocytes which precede neuronal damage play an important role in the degeneration of neurons and/or development of seizures in TLE pathogenesis. Additionally, a role for microtubule associated tau protein, involved in various neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, has also been suggested in the development of seizure and/or neurodegeneration in TLE pathogenesis. At present, possible alterations of different subtypes of astrocytes and their association, if any, with tau protein in TLE remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated alterations of different subtypes of astrocytes and phospho-/cleaved-tau levels in kainic acid-treated animal model of mTLE. Our results reveal that levels/expression of various astrocytes markers such as GFAP, vimentin, S100β, Aldh1l1, but not GS, are differentially altered in the hippocampus of kainic acid-treated rats. The levels/expression of both A1(C3+) and A2(S100A10+)-like astrocytes are variably increased in kainic acid-treated rats. The hippocampal levels of total (Tau1 and Tau5) and phospho-tau (AT270 and PHF1) proteins are also transiently enhanced following kainic acid administration. Furthermore, the steady-state level and expression of cleaved-tau, which is evident in a subset of GFAP-positive astrocytes, are found to be increased in kainic acid-treated rats. These results, taken together, suggest a differential role for various astrocytic subpopulations and tau protein in kainic acid model of TLE and possibly in human mTLE pathogenesis.

description: We present a light-matter interface which consists of a single $^{174}$Yb$^+$ ion coupled to an optical fiber-cavity. We observe that photons at 935 nm are mainly emitted into the cavity mode and that correlations between the polarization of the photon and the spin state of the ion are preserved despite the intrinsic coupling into a single-mode fiber. Complementary, when a faint coherent light field is injected into the cavity mode we find enhanced and polarization dependent absorption by the ion.
title: One Year Change in Cognitive Function in Male and Female Common Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)
Creators: name: Healey, Brianna
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Long term cognitive studies in humans and nonhuman primates such as macaques are difficult because of their long lifespan. The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a non-human primate who shares with humans many features characteristic of primates, including a complex brain and cognitive function. They also have a short lifespan (~10 years) that makes them a great model in studies of cognitive aging. This study focuses on the rate of decline in cognitive function in male and female marmosets based on performance on reversal learning tasks over 2 years of testing.
We found that marmosets improved their overall performance from Year 1 to Year 2 due to practice effect, but that females exhibited an impairment in reversal learning compared to males in both years. We also found important individual differences, with some monkeys showing decline in Year 2 compared to Year 1 while most monkeys maintained or improved their performance in reversal learning over the two years.
We conclude that (1) cognitive flexibility, as assessed by reversal learning, is impaired in middle-aged female marmosets compared to males, likely due to sex differences in habitual vs. goal-directed behavior, and (2) that reversal learning is a sensitive measure that can capture one year individual changes in cognitive function.

description: Classical nucleation theory has been recently reformulated based on fluctuating hydrodynamics [J.F. Lutsko and M.A. Durán-Olivencia, J. Chem. Phys. 138, 244908 (2013)]. The present work extends this effort to the case of nucleation in confined systems such as small pores and vesicles. The finite available mass imposes a maximal supercritical cluster size and prohibits nucleation altogether if the system is too small. We quantity the effect of system size on the nuceation rate. We also discuss the effect of relaxing the capillary-model assumption of zero interfacial width resulting in significant changes in the nucleation barrier and nucleation rate.

description: This is number fourteen of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the new exterior additions to historic buildings. Because a new exterior addition to a historic building can damage or destroy significant materials and can change the building's character, an addition should be considered only after it has been determined that the new use cannot be met by altering nonsignificant, or secondary, interior spaces. If the new use cannot be met in this way, then an attached addition may be an acceptable alternative if carefully planned. A new addition should be constructed in a manner that preserves significant materials and features and preserves the historic character. Finally, an addition should be differentiated from the historic building so that the new work is not confused with what is genuinely part of the past.

description: Depuis le début des années 2010, les agendas politiques locaux accueillent un nouvel enjeu : l’alimentation. Cette intégration des problématiques liées au fait alimentaire dans les arènes publiques locales témoigne, entre autre, du processus de reterritorialisation de l’agriculture et de l’alimentation en cours sur les territoires. Ce processus s’incarne à travers le développement de projets, voire de politiques alimentaires portées par les acteurs publics locaux. C’est notamment le cas des Conseils départementaux, anciens guichets agricoles locaux et aujourd’hui chefs de file des solidarités humaines et territoriales. L’existence de cette collectivité née de la Révolution a souvent été tantôt remise en question à travers le processus de décentralisation, tantôt réaffirmée, notamment en tant que Département « providence » (Grégory, 2017; Lafore, 2004). Aujourd’hui, une vingtaine de Départements métropolitains communiquent sur leurs engagements dans la construction des stratégies politiques alimentaires.

description: Erbium doped low symmetry Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystals attract a lot of attention in perspective of quantum information applications. However, only doping of the samples during growth is available up to now, which yields a quite homogeneous doping density. In the present work, we deposit Er$^{3+}$-ions by the focused ion beam technique at Yttrium sites with several fluences in one sample. With a photoluminescence study of these locally doped Er$^{3+}$:Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystals, we are able to evaluate the efficiency of the implantation process and develop it for the highest efficiency possible. We observe the dependence of the ion activation after the post-implantation annealing on the fluence value.

description: Software testing is normally used to check the validity of a program. Test oracle performs an important role in software testing. The focus in this research is to perform class level test by introducing a testing framework. A technique is developed to generate test oracle for specification-based software testing using Vienna Development Method (VDM++) formal language. A three stage translation process, of VDM++ specifications of container classes to C++ test oracle classes, is described in this paper. It is also presented that how derived test oracle is integrated into a proposed functional testing framework. This technique caters object oriented features such as inheritance and aggregation, but concurrency is not considered in this work. Translation issues, limitations and evaluation of the technique are also discussed. The proposed approach is illustrated with the help of popular triangle problem case study.

description: While several observational investigations have revealed the presence of magnetic fields in the circumstellar envelopes, jets and outflows of post-Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (PAGBs) and planetary nebulae (PNe), none has clearly demonstrated their presence at the stellar surface. The lack of information on the strength of the surface magnetic fields prevents us from performing any thorough assessment of their dynamic capability (i.e. material mixing, envelope shaping, etc). We present new high resolution spectropolarimetric (Stokes V ) observations of a sample of PAGB stars, realised with the instruments ESPaDOnS and Narval, where we searched for the presence of photospheric magnetic fields. Out of the seven targets investigated the RV Tauri stars U Mon and R Sct display a clear Zeeman signature and return a definite detection after performing a least squares deconvolution (LSD) analysis. The remaining five PAGBs show no significant detection. We derived longitudinal magnetic fields of 10.2 +/- 1.7 G for U Mon and 0.6 +/- 0.6 G for R Sct. In both cases the Stokes profiles point towards an interaction of the magnetic field with the atmosphere dynamics. This first discovery of weak magnetic fields (i.e. ~10 gauss level) at the stellar surface of PAGB stars opens the door to a better understanding of magnetism in evolved stars.

description: This paper comprises an experimental and theoretical investigation of the time evolution of a Fermi gas following fast and slow quenches of a one-dimensional optical double-well superlattice potential. We investigate both the local tunneling in the connected double wells and the global dynamics towards a steady state. The local observables in the steady-state resemble those of an equilibrium state, whereas the global properties indicate a strong non-equilibrium situation.

description: Conventional methods for separation of submicron particles, e.g., filtration or centrifugation, suffer from severe problems, such as loss of particles during resuspension and high energy demands due to fouling of separating membranes. Here we present the novel concept of dielectrophoretically switchable filtration using pore sizes that are two to three orders of magnitude larger than the particles. We used layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled nanocapsules of 340 nm diameter that were to be separated and recovered from polyelectrolyte solution. The filter being an insulating porous structure is placed in between two electrodes generating an electric field which is bend at the solid–liquid interface and is thus highly inhomogeneous. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is used as a driving force to trap particles in the filter. The filtration is based on electric effects and could thus be easily turned off by switching off the electric field allowing safe and easy resuspension of the trapped nanocapsules. A parametric study has been conducted to investigate the influence of voltage, pore size, flux and membrane thickness on the separation efficiency. Maximum separation and recovery efficiencies in a semi-continuous run reached almost 65% when working with a specific flow rate of 4.12 mL s−1 m−2, a voltage of 200 V, frequency of 210 kHz and a filter with thickness of 1.5 mm and pore sizes in the range of 20–60 μm. The results demonstrate that electrically switchable retardation of nanoparticles is possible even in large flow systems. This finding paves the way for preparative DEP chromatography of nanoparticles. Its ease makes this switchable filtration attractive for nanoparticle separation and purification in general.

description: This dissertation considers the problem of integrating three different robot behaviors in different combinations and settings to ascertain their effect on human trust. A system is developed to optimally combine the different behaviors such that any negative combinations are avoided. Three non-verbal robot behaviors are tested: a legibility pathing behavior, a usability avoidance behavior, and a usability eye contact behavior. Three user studies are performed to ascertain behavior interactions in transportation tasks in differing environments with multiple possible goal locations. These studies are accomplished online through videos of tasks performed in a simulated environment. The study into these Human-Robot Interactions is important because as technology progresses, robots are being introduced into more spaces that are sometimes shared with human workers. These areas may necessitate the robot to make cooperative actions, show intent, or keep nearby people safe from hidden hazards which are prevalent in nuclear or chemical facilities such as radiation, radioactive particles, odorless fumes, strong chemicals stored in beakers, etc. When robots are introduced to such environments, it is necessary that people feel trust in the robot and feel safe around them. Three behaviors are studied in a simulated environment on the TIAGo++ platform. These behaviors are combined and evaluated to ascertain complementary behaviors and adversarial behaviors and their variables that trigger these interactions. The TIAGo++ platform is simulated in Gazebo, a ROS-enabled simulation platform to create three common scenarios a person might face when robots are moving near them to transport items. Results are varied between combinations of the behaviors, and depend on the variables used to instruct the behaviors' motions. A set of trust-based questions, ranking questions, and pathing testing is utilized to tune the behaviors on a final system to avoid negative behavior interactions. The final tuned simulated system has been found to negate the negative associated behavior interactions in a new environment versus other partially tuned systems. The robot system that always takes the safest path away from workers was also found to not trigger negative behavior combinations, however, did not score as well in user studies as the final tuned smart system. The complete quantitative results are presented and analyzed in this report.
Message passing and Monte Carlo algorithms: connecting fixed points with metastable states

description: Mean field-like approximations (including naive mean field, Bethe and Kikuchi and more general Cluster Variational Methods) are known to stabilize ordered phases at temperatures higher than the thermodynamical transition. For example, in the Edwards-Anderson model in 2-dimensions these approximations predict a spin glass transition at finite $T$. Here we show that the spin glass solutions of the Cluster Variational Method (CVM) at plaquette level do describe well actual metastable states of the system. Moreover, we prove that these states can be used to predict non trivial statistical quantities, like the distribution of the overlap between two replicas. Our results support the idea that message passing algorithms can be helpful to accelerate Monte Carlo simulations in finite dimensional systems.

title: Studies on the Interaction and Organization of Bacterial Proteins on Membranes
Creators: name: Mariana
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Bacteria have developed various means of secreting proteins that can enter the host cell membrane. In this work I focus on two systems: cholesterol-dependent cytolysins and Type III Secretion.

Cholesterol is a molecule that is critical for physiological processes and cell membrane function. Not only can improper regulation lead to disease, but also the role cholesterol plays in cell function indicates it is an important molecule to understand. In response to this need, probes have been developed that detect cholesterol molecules in membranes. However, it has been recently shown that there is a need for probes that only respond to cholesterol that is accessible at the membrane surface. Perfringolysin O (PFO) is a toxin secreted by Clostridium perfringens that has been developed into a probe capable of detecting accessible cholesterol. Recently, researchers have been expanding the capabilities of this probe by substituting residues, modifying residues, truncating the probe, or a combination of the three. However, lack of characterization of these new probes has led to controversial results. To understand the role of a conserved Cys residue, here we perform cholesterol binding assays and measure the pore formation activity of a Cys modified PFO derivative.

The Type III Secretion (T3S) system is a syringe-like apparatus used by various pathogens to inject effector proteins into target cells. The apparatus spans both the inner and outer bacterial membrane, extending to make contact with the host cell where it forms a pore known as the translocon. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the translocon is made up of two proteins, PopB and PopD. While recent advances have been made on the structure of the needle and injectisome, information on the translocon remains sparse. In this work, the P. aeruginosa T3S translocon is analyzed using both in vivo and in vitro methods.

description: There are many methods for encouraging students to complete their course and teaching evaluations, including offering incentives, offering more time in class to complete evaluations, and offering students to participate in focus groups (Goodman, Andson & Belcheir 2015; Svinicki, 2001). But what about integrating course evaluations into the curriculum? As a necessary part of the learning process? Critics believe instructors will receive bad data if evaluations are mandatory (Lariat, 2016), but we believe this is not the case. If handled with care, mandatory evaluations can increase the quantity of responses, but not diminish the quality of the responses. The case study we'll assess is the UME Program at OHSU. We'll review how the program encourages mandatory participation, and evidence there is no diminishing of scores or quality of responses.
