The twists & turns of DNA: the importance of DNA deformability and local features that influence genomic structure and function
Creators: name: Young, Robert T.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: The organization of DNA is essential to genetic protection and access and is highly dependent on factors that can cause bending, stretching, and torsional changes along the double-helical chain. Interactions with small molecules lead to localized distortions of DNA whose strain is taken up by neighboring naked regions with its length and sequence composition influencing compensatory efforts. Advancements in biophysical experimentation have provided new insights in the role of DNA structure versus function and an increase in high-resolution structures of protein-bound DNA. Computational modeling tools have also improved, including the ability to incorporate constraints in the design of energetically optimized models, such as regions of undertwisting or extreme bending of DNA at a protein-binding site. The research presented here shows how variables at the DNA base-pair step level can influence the organization of DNA on the mesoscale level, examining first the development of DNA models as a collection of rigid-body base-pair steps. The first application highlights the loss and subsequent reemergence of DNA looping propensity from a well-studied regulatory loop system after first incorporating a linearizing protein and then addition of a kinking protein situated upstream in artificial architectural protein design. The second study is a survey of various supercoiled topoisomers bearing a superhelical DNA pathway characteristic of the chromosome architectural subunit known as the nucleosome. The collection of 164 nucleosome core particles is organized into seven groups that vary due to the uptake of twist along the DNA path and optimization of the circular minichromosomes shows how these local variations in twist affect the configuration of the free loop. Finally, the focus shifts to the role of sequence on DNA configuration by updating a knowledge-based potential from over 3000 high-resolution protein-DNA structures in the Protein Data Bank and expanding the base-pair step to include tetrameric sequence context. This update and expansion were applied to a series of 150-bp and 336-bp sequences, leading to new insights in the role sequence plays in both structural curvature and protein signaling.

Unbroken $SU(2)$ at a 100 TeV collider

description: A future 100 TeV pp collider will explore energies much higher than the scale of electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking. In this paper we study some of the phenomenological consequences of this fact, concentrating on enhanced bremsstrahlung of EW gauge bosons. We survey a handful of possible new physics experimental searches one can pursue at a 100 TeV collider using this phenomenon. The most dramatic effect is the non-negligible radiation of EW gauge bosons from neutrinos, making them partly visible objects. The presence of collinear EW radiation allows for the full reconstruction of neutrinos under certain circumstances. We also show that the presence of EW radiation allows one to distinguish the $SU(2)$ quantum numbers of various new physics particles. We consider examples of two completely different new physics paradigms, additional gauge groups and SUSY, where the bremsstrahlung radiation of $W$ and $Z$ from $W'$s, $Z'$s or stops allows one to determine the couplings and the mixing angles of the new particles (respectively). Finally, we show how the emission of $W$s and $Z$s from high $p_T$ Higgs bosons can be used to test the couplings of new physics to the Higgs boson.

description: The topological structures of a $ϕ^6$ theory with multi-field are studied. The $ϕ^6$ theory is interesting because it is a theory that allows the shrinkage of topological structures generating double-kink or even multi-kink configurations. In this work, we consider and study the solutions of a two real scalar fields model. To reach our purpose, we investigate the BPS properties of the fields using the approach proposed by Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield. Using the BPS energy density, the differential configurational entropy (DCE) of the BPS structures is studied. The result of the DCE indicates the most likely field configuration of one of the topological sectors of the model.

Bad believers: evidence-resistance, rational persuasion, and social change
Creators: name: Flores Henrique, Carolina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Can a belief be rational despite being resistant to counter-evidence? Why are some beliefs resistant to counter-evidence in the first place? Given the pervasiveness of evidence-resistant beliefs, how can we institute widespread belief change? My dissertation Bad Believers develops a general theory of belief and belief revision that addresses these questions.The theory I argue for is a form of rationalism about belief, the view that there is an important connection between belief and rational agency. I develop and defend it by carefully considering pervasive evidence-resistance and strong external influences on how believers interact with evidence. My aim is to establish not only that rationalism is compatible with these facts, but also that the version of rationalism I defend is needed to account for this data.This project has two parts. The first part is a defense of the rationalist idea that belief is constitutively evidence-responsive. Specifically, I argue that, if an attitude is a belief, then the subject has the capacity to rationally update it in light of relevant evidence. I support this view by arguing that it best accounts for the descriptive and normative roles of belief. I then apply the view to account for clinical delusions, showing how it can illuminate even deep, pathological evidence-resistant beliefs.In the second part, I develop theoretical tools to help us understand the role of agency in belief maintenance and revision. Against pure structuralist accounts of belief maintenance, I aim to show that we need to consider individual personality and agency to understand resistant social beliefs. I then build on this work by developing the notion of epistemic style. I use this notion to argue that paradigmatic instances of belief updating (in adult humans) express the agent’s epistemic personality, making room for sophisticated self-regulation.The account of belief and belief revision that emerges offers new theoretical resources for thinking about epistemic normativity and about the distinctiveness of the mental. At a social and political level, it aims to provide tools for rational persuasion and for exploring the role of individual beliefs in social change. In this way, my dissertation contributes to a social turn in philosophy of mind, mirroring similar developments in epistemology, philosophy of language, and metaphysics.

description: Numerous analysis methods for quantitative attack tree analysis have been proposed. These algorithms compute relevant security metrics, i.e. performance indicators that quantify how good the security of a system is; typical metrics being the most likely attack, the cheapest, or the most damaging one. However, existing methods are only geared towards specific metrics or do not work on general attack trees. This paper classifies attack trees in two dimensions: proper trees vs. directed acyclic graphs (i.e. with shared subtrees); and static vs. dynamic gates. For three out of these four classes, we propose novel algorithms that work over a generic attribute domain, encompassing a large number of concrete security metrics defined on the attack tree semantics; dynamic attack trees with directed acyclic graph structure are left as an open problem. We also analyse the computational complexity of our methods.

description: Context. An increasing number of high-resolution stellar spectra is available today thanks to many past and ongoing extensive spectroscopic surveys. Consequently, the scientific community needs automatic procedures to derive atmospheric parameters and individual element abundances. Aims. Based on the widely known SPECTRUM code by R. O. Gray, we developed an integrated spectroscopic software framework suitable for the determination of atmospheric parameters (i.e., effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity) and individual chemical abundances. The code, named iSpec and freely distributed, is written mainly in Python and can be used on different platforms. Methods. iSpec can derive atmospheric parameters by using the synthetic spectral fitting technique and the equivalent width method. We validated the performance of both approaches by developing two different pipelines and analyzing the Gaia FGK benchmark stars spectral library. The analysis was complemented with several tests designed to assess other aspects, such as the interpolation of model atmospheres and the performance with lower quality spectra. Results. We provide a code ready to perform automatic stellar spectral analysis. We successfully assessed the results obtained for FGK stars with high-resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra.

description: The fundamental phenomenon widely known as multipath is unavoidable in wireless communication, and affects almost every element of modern wireless communication systems. The impact of multipath on the received signal depends on whether the delay spread (i.e., spread of time delays associated with different multipath components) is large or small relative to the signalling period of the wireless communication system. In narrowband systems, the delay spread is about one tenth (or less) of the signalling period. The delay spread and the signalling period of broadband systems are in the same order of magnitude. In between these two extremes, there appears to exist an important, yet overlooked, class of systems whose delay spread is neither small nor large enough for them to fall into these two basic classes. In this paper, the effect of multipath on this class of systems denoted henceforth as mediumband is studied, and its channel is characterized in compact form in order to enable future research into this class of wireless communication systems.

Asymptotic variance sensitive Markov decision processes
Creators: name: Benton, Andrew R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: We develop the asymptotic variance for Markov decision processes. Results are provided to express the asymptotic variance of a w-geometrically ergodic Markov reward process on a Borel space with randomized rewards. These results are then applied to problems minimizing the asymptotic variance over the space of randomized Markovian policies, which is generally a non-convex optimization problem due to the nonlinearity of the asymptotic variance. Dynamic programming algorithms and bilinear programming formulations are provided for variations of this task. The second part of this work develops reinforcement learning algorithms for this objective. Temporal-differences based estimators are developed, which are then applied to develop an actor-critic algorithm for mean-variance optimization.
“You gotta be resilient.” Exploring the transitional experience of students suspended for academic misconduct who then returned to their home institution
Creators: name: Miele, Amy N.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: With graduation rates under strict scrutiny, American institutions of higher education (IHEs) are examining ways to improve student retention. Students go through several monumental transitions throughout their undergraduate and graduate careers, which affect the trajectory and nature of their academic experiences. One unanticipated transition for some students is being temporarily suspended from their IHE. Each year, numerous students are suspended for academic misconduct (e.g. cheating on an exam, plagiarizing a term paper, etc.). Once they serve their period of suspension, those students are eligible to return to their home institution. Frequently with no formal reintegration process, returning students are at risk for not persisting until graduation. This dissertation explores the reintegration experiences of five Rutgers University-New Brunswick (RUNB) students suspended for academic misconduct. Their experiences led to several recommendations for future practice, including providing additional education to students on the topic of academic integrity, handling each potential violation on a case-by-case basis, assigning campus advisors to students facing a separable offense, and utilizing Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSAs) as a formalized reintegration process for previously suspended students.
Hawking Radiation from Elko Particles Tunnelling across Black Strings Horizon

description: We apply the tunnelling method for the emission and absorption of Elko particles in the event horizon of a black string solution. We show that Elko particles are emitted at the expected Hawking temperature from black strings, but with a quite different signature with respect to the Dirac particles. We employ the Hamilton-Jacobi technique to black hole tunnelling, by applying the WKB approximation to the coupled system of Dirac-like equations governing the Elko particle dynamics. As a typical signature, different Elko particles are shown to produce the same standard Hawking temperature for black strings. However we prove that they present the same probability irrespective of outgoing or ingoing the black hole horizon. It provides a typical signature for mass dimension one fermions, that is different from the mass dimension three halves fermions inherent to Dirac particles, as different Dirac spinor fields have distinct inward and outward probability of tunnelling.

Structural behavior and dynamics of an anomalous fluid between solvophilic and solvophobic walls: templating, molding and superdiffusion

description: Confinement can modify the dynamics, the thermodynamics and the structural properties of liquid water, the prototypical anomalous liquid. By considering a general anomalous liquid, suitable for globular proteins, colloids or liquid metals, we study by molecular dynamics simulations the effect of a solvophilic structured and a solvophobic unstructured wall on the phases, the crystal nucleation and the dynamics of the fluid. We find that at low temperatures the large density of the solvophilic wall induces a high-density, high-energy structure in the first layer ("tempting" effect). In turn, the first layer induces a "molding" effect on the second layer determining a structure with reduced energy and density, closer to the average density of the system. This low-density, low-energy structure propagates further through the layers by templating effect and can involve all the existing layers at the lowest temperatures investigated. Therefore, although the high-density, high-energy structure does not self-reproduce further than the first layer, the structured wall can have a long-range effect thanks to a sequence of templating, molding and templating effects through the layers. We find dynamical slowing down of the solvent near the solvophilic wall but with largely heterogeneous dynamics near the wall due to superdiffusive liquid veins within a frozen matrix of solvent. Hence, the partial freezing of the first hydration layer does not correspond necessarily to an effective reduction of the channel section in terms of transport properties.

title: Future of Police Leadership in the State of Qatar, Creating a Legacy - Vision 2030
Creators: name: Sahota, Max
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2027

description: The aim of this research study was to determine whether the United Kingdom gold, silver, bronze leadership command model (GSB model) can be effectively applied in the State of Qatar. The research focussed on application of the GSB model for the policing and security arrangements for the FIFA World Cup, due to be held in the State of Qatar during 2022. Consideration was also given to the implications of adopting the GSB model beyond this date, as the State of Qatar strives to deliver its National Vision 2030. A significant part of the research examined leadership styles within the Middle East environment and the characteristic culture of the region; both of these have a direct influence on the success or otherwise in adopting a western style leadership command model in the State of Qatar. This analysis and comparison with the United Kingdom provided data to formulate a fully considered response to the research question: ‘What are the leadership and cultural challenges in effectively applying the UK gold, silver, bronze leadership command model in the State of Qatar: How can successful transfer take place?’ The researcher employed a qualitative research methodology, that led to the identification of five critical success factors: culture, leadership, decision making, partnership working; and training & development. Data was collected and, the findings grouped, using these five key themes to provide a clear structure to manage the large amount of information generated by the study. The research concluded the GSB model can be effectively applied within the State of Qatar, and its potential would be maximised through the implementation of twenty recommendations documented in the thesis. The final recommendation states the State of Qatar should consider establishing a strategic project board, post the FIFA World Cup 2022, to integrate gold, silver and bronze training for all police and security agencies in the State of Qatar, making it a key part of business as usual operations. This formal approach to embedding the GSB model is recommended due to the scale and complexity of the changes required to truly integrate the new way of working. The Prime Minister of the State of Qatar set out his strategic vision, at the start of this project, to create a legacy of leadership command training beyond the FIFA World Cup 2022. Implementation of the twenty recommendations will assist to embed the GSB model within the DNA of the Qatari Police Service, and contribute to the State of Qatar National Vision 2030.

description: Charges for marketing food products that originated on U.S. farms rose substantially more in 1970 than in any year during the 1960's. The spread between the retail cost and farm value of a market basket of farm foods rose 7 percent last year, compared with 1.9 percent for 1969 and 2.6 percent for 1968. Although marketing spreads for practically all products widened in 1970, major attention centered on pork and beef, which rose 20 percent and 9 percent, respectively. The marketing bill--total charges for transporting, processing, and distributing farm foods--totaled almost $69 billion in 1970, 8 percent greater than in 1969. This increase was almost double the average increase during the past decade, due chiefly to higher labor costs. Marketing charges accounted for two-thirds of the $102 billion spent by consumers for farm foods last year. The remaining third represented the payment or gross return that farmers received for farm food products.

description: Although machine learning based algorithms have been extensively used for detecting phishing websites, there has been relatively little work on how adversaries may attack such "phishing detectors" (PDs for short). In this paper, we propose a set of Gray-Box attacks on PDs that an adversary may use which vary depending on the knowledge that he has about the PD. We show that these attacks severely degrade the effectiveness of several existing PDs. We then propose the concept of operation chains that iteratively map an original set of features to a new set of features and develop the "Protective Operation Chain" (POC for short) algorithm. POC leverages the combination of random feature selection and feature mappings in order to increase the attacker's uncertainty about the target PD. Using 3 existing publicly available datasets plus a fourth that we have created and will release upon the publication of this paper, we show that POC is more robust to these attacks than past competing work, while preserving predictive performance when no adversarial attacks are present. Moreover, POC is robust to attacks on 13 different classifiers, not just one. These results are shown to be statistically significant at the p < 0.001 level.

description: Recent developments in diagnostic and computing technologies offer to leverage numerous forms of nonintrusive modeling approaches from data where machine learning can be used to build computationally cheap and accurate surrogate models. To this end, we present a nonlinear proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) framework, denoted as NLPOD, to forge a nonintrusive reduced-order model for the Boussinesq equations. In our NLPOD approach, we first employ the POD procedure to obtain a set of global modes to build a linear-fit latent space and utilize an autoencoder network to compress the projection of this latent space through a nonlinear unsupervised mapping of POD coefficients. Then, long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network architecture is utilized to discover temporal patterns in this low-rank manifold. While performing a detailed sensitivity analysis for hyperparameters of the LSTM model, the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency is systematically analyzed for solving a canonical Rayleigh-Benard convection system.

Gender justice for whom? Domestic accountability for wartime sexual violence
Creators: name: Lee, Sumin

description: Why do some governments adopt accountability measures for wartime sexual violence during and after civil wars while others do not? Scholars and policymakers stress the importance of domestic accountability for wartime sexual violence, yet the motivations of governments adopting these measures remain unexplored. This dissertation aims to investigate why and how conflict-affected governments address wartime sexual violence through accountability measures. The central argument of this dissertation is that governments adopt accountability measures for wartime sexual violence to rebuild their legitimacy and restore their moral images. The gendered victimhood of wartime sexual violence and the international community’s commitment to end impunity allow governments to use accountability as a strategic means to promote their legitimacy. I further investigate different forms of accountability– legislative and judicial – and argue that governments use each measure to frame accountability for wartime sexual violence differently. I argue that legislative measures frame accountability around the prevention of future wartime sexual violence while judicial measures focus more on the punishment of past abuses. When governments face high culpability of wartime sexual violence, they adopt legislative accountability to frame the narrative around prevention. When their reputation is undermined, governments take judicial accountability measures to distance themselves from the violent group and promote their moral images. The proposed theories are tested on an original dataset of domestic accountability for wartime sexual violence in Africa between 1998 and 2018. This will be the first dataset that narrowly focuses on accountability measures that address wartime sexual violence and comprehensively measure those beyond prosecutions. Along with illustrative case studies of Chad, Rwanda, Côte d’Ivoire, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I find empirical support that accountability for wartime sexual violence is used as a strategic means when governments face domestic demands for gender justice and rely on international support. The dissertation also finds empirical support that legislative and judicial accountability is strategically used to evade punishment and distance from the violent entity respectively.

description: We report on the discovery of the most distant Milky Way (MW) stars known to date: ULAS J001535.72$+$015549.6 and ULAS J074417.48$+$253233.0. These stars were selected as M giant candidates based on their infrared and optical colors and lack of proper motions. We spectroscopically confirmed them as outer halo giants using the MMT/Red Channel spectrograph. Both stars have large estimated distances, with ULAS J001535.72$+$015549.6 at $274 \pm 74$ kpc and ULAS J074417.48$+$253233.0 at 238 $\pm$ 64 kpc, making them the first MW stars discovered beyond 200 kpc. ULAS J001535.72$+$015549.6 and ULAS J074417.48$+$253233.0 are both moving away from the Galactic center at $52 \pm 10$ km s$^{-1}$ and $24 \pm 10$ km s$^{-1}$, respectively. Using their distances and kinematics, we considered possible origins such as: tidal stripping from a dwarf galaxy, ejection from the MW's disk, or membership in an undetected dwarf galaxy. These M giants, along with two inner halo giants that were also confirmed during this campaign, are the first to map largely unexplored regions of our Galaxy's outer halo.

Incentives, institutions, and the language of politics
Creators: name: Gibbons, Adam F.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: This dissertation examines the extent to which widespread incentives shape the linguistic behavior of agents in political settings, and how these incentives are in turn shaped by both the political environment they inhabit and the political institutions with which they interact. It thus extends a form of incentive-based institutional analysis familiar from political economy to topics in philosophy of language (in particular, philosophy of social and political language).Such analyses offer both explanatory and practical benefits. Regarding the former, they allow us to explain otherwise puzzling linguistic behaviors as the behaviors of agents rationally responding to incentives. Regarding the latter, the recognition that institutions shape behavior by limiting the payoffs and penalties for certain actions suggests that, by modifying background institutions, we can—in principle—alter linguistic behavior. The first chapter of the dissertation, ‘Bad Language Makes Good Politics’, outlines a general framework for the application of incentives-based institutional analysis to linguistic behavior in politics. I focus on a range of behaviors that are typically evaluated negatively by both the academics who investigate them and the general public. These behaviors include inaccurate language (such as lying, bullshitting, misinformation, and disinformation), insincere language (such as virtue signaling and grandstanding), and unclear language (such as deliberate vagueness and euphemisms). After sketching how each of these behaviors can be rational, I discuss how institutional reforms could reduce their prevalence by changing the incentives that make them rational. However, I raise two serious complications for putative reforms: they create serious risk of abuse, and they preclude seemingly beneficial instances of so-called bad language. The next two chapters develop more focused applications of the wider theme. In ‘Bullshit in Politics Pays’, I argue that misinformation proliferates in political settings because truth-directed inquiry competes at the margin with other values. In short, pursuing the truth is costly—sometimes too costly, relative to our other ends. As such, the (subjective) benefits of caring about the facts are frequently outweighed by the (subjective) costs. More crudely: in politics, it pays to be a bullshitter, sometimes literally. And in ‘Rational Conceptual Conflict and the Implementation Problem’, I discuss an underappreciated practical problem facing proponents of conceptual engineering—that is, scholars and activists who seek to evaluate concepts and, if possible, improve or replace them. I argue that efforts to engineer concepts will very often be impeded by agents who are incentivized to oppose such efforts. I discuss the practical implications of this problem for the burgeoning field of conceptual engineering, before suggesting some strategies to mitigate it.
Implementation Guidelines for an Automated Solar Panel Cleaning System

description: Using solar panels is one of the best methods for absorbing solar energy. PV panels, like any other electrical equipment, require regular maintenance to stay in working order. Over time, the effectiveness of the modules is decreased by the accumulation of dust layers on their surfaces. Water is not necessary for dry or automated cleaning of solar modules. Dry brushes and air pressure are used by solar panel cleaning robots to remove dirt from the panels' surface. In general, dry cleaning is less successful than moist cleaning. This is as a result of the water's role as a conduit for the discharge of dust particles during wet cleaning. However, not all places have easy access to water, which makes cleaning the modules difficult. Dry cleaning can be an excellent alternative in this regard. Moreover, regular wet cleaning of PV modules seems to be a challenging task (because to the significant water, labor, and financial costs involved). This study covers the steps and procedures needed in implementing an automatic solar panel cleaner.

description: Lifestyle and food choices have an important role in the onset and in the prevention of some diseases. The assumption of some food-related molecules can have different effects on human health; for example, the antioxidants can lower the risk of some diseases, while the mycotoxins, contaminants of cereals and milk, could be involved in the rise of Autism Spectrum Disorders in genetically predisposed patients. The aim of this project was to identify possible protein targets for both mycotoxins and antioxidants, and to understand the mechanisms of actions underlying their effects. Protein targets were searched through a reverse docking approach using idTarget web-server. Subsequently, molecular docking using AutoDock 4.2 between the ligands (mycotoxins and antioxidants) and each of the selected protein targets was performed, in order to identify their binding sites. The interactions between mycotoxins and possible protein targets with good predicted energies were selected in order to validate them experimentally by means of techniques such as fluorescence techniques and MST. The interactions between antioxidants and possible protein targets with good predicted energies were selected to perform functional analysis via bioinformatics tools. The fluorescence techniques confirm that some mycotoxins bind the Acetylcholinesterase and Neuroligin-4, X linked, which is involved in Autism disease. The functional analysis results about the protein targets of the antioxidants suggests that chemopreventive effects of antioxidants in human pathologies, in particular for colon cancer, may be related to the possible interference of these molecules with the activity of nucleotide metabolism and methylation enzymes, similarly to some classes of anticancer drugs.[edited by Autor]
