LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE BROWN MARMORATED STINK BUG IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Creators: name: Hepler, James Robert
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2021

description: Successful management of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), relies upon an accurate understanding of its biology and ecology. I examined aspects of the host plant suitability, management, and parasitoid interactions of H. halys in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The potential of a native PNW semi-arid plant assemblage to support H. halys development was assessed in laboratory studies. H. halys successfully completed development on the native plant diet, but had lower survivorship, longer developmental times, and lower adult weights than those fed a high-quality diet, indicating that the native diet was suboptimal. The potential of high-throughput sequencing for reconstructing H. halys feeding histories was examined through controlled feeding studies. Targeted regions of the host plants’ chloroplast genome were readily detected three days after feeding, with some persisting at 14 days, suggesting that gut content analysis of H. halys may be used to provide detailed dietary histories of field-collected insects. The efficacy of long-lasting insecticide netting (LLIN) traps for attract-and-kill (AK) management of H. halys was evaluated in fruit orchards over three seasons. Trap captures for two trap designs, the ‘ghost’ trap and the ‘poncho’ trap, were compared in 2018 and 2019, and fruit damage was assessed in 2019. Approximately three times more H. halys were recovered from poncho traps in both years, but fruit damage was not significantly affected by either trap compared to the control. The management potential of a simplified LLIN AK trap was evaluated in 2020. Fruit damage was significantly reduced by the addition of LLIN traps, though levels were still high. The reproductive and nonreproductive effects of the parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus on H. halys and the native pentatomids Chinavia hilaris, Euschistus conspersus, and Podisus maculiventris were evaluated using field-deployed sentinel egg masses and a T. japonicus-specific PCR primer. Nonreproductive effects of parasitism were highly variable, but were more important than reproductive effects for all three native species. P. maculiventris in particular was severely impacted, suffering overall 60% parasitoid-induced mortality from T. japonicus.
COOLING RATES OF SPATTER DEPOSITS: A TWO-DIMENSIONAL THERMAL DIFFUSION MODEL AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR SPATTER PILE STABILITY

Volcanology

description: Spatter occurs when erupted lava is hot enough to deform and agglutinate (adhere to other erupted clasts). Spatter deposits will agglutinate at high temperatures; however, if the temperature is too high it will re-mobilize and flow as lava. It is important to understand the accumulation and cooling conditions that lead to the remobilization and collapse of spatter as these events can present a serious volcanic hazard. Four thermal diffusion models have been created in this study. Model 1 is one-dimensional and includes a single clast with variable material properties and cooling by conduction. Model 2 is one-dimensional and includes a single clast cooling by conduction with a convective boundary condition at the clast-air interface. Model 3 is two-dimensional and includes a single clast with variable material properties cooling by conduction with a convective boundary condition at the clast-air interface. Model 4 is one-dimensional and includes multiple piling clasts with variable material properties and cooling by conduction. These models predict how spatter clasts cool over time when cooling mechanisms, clast size, number of clasts in a spatter pile, time between spatter pile depositions, initial temperature, and vesicularity are varied. The models described in this research provide an indication for when the spatter deposit will cool to the glass transition temperature. This research allows for a better understanding of the controls on the cooling rates of the clasts as well as the transition into the clastogenic flow regime, which will increase understanding of volcanic spatter as well as have implications for the mitigation of their associated hazards.

description: Electrochemical systems represent one of the largest markets in technology and design today. Electrochemical systems encompass a wide array of technologies and applications but two of the most common electrochemical systems are batteries and sensors. As these systems advance, there is a growing necessity for highly precise electrochemical modeling, needed for the design, operation and optimization of electrochemical systems. Such models can be divided into two categories: equivalent circuit models (ECMs) and physics-based models. In this study, an examination is made of an ECM for a newly designed electrochemical biosensor and a physics-based model of a lithium-ion NMC532 battery.Biosensor technologies are often slow to use, expensive and are difficult to mass produce, which is problematic in the case of a pandemic as was evidenced early in the COVID-19 outbreak. As such a simple, inexpensive biosensor was developed with the capability of identifying a specific species. The sensor consisted of two silver electrodes printed over a carbon-nanotube (CNT) base which had been coated in a polyethyleneimine layer. The sensor’s electric properties were found to decay with time. An ECM was built to track the decay and identify its cause. It was found that oxidation in the CNT layer was likely the cause of decay.
description: It is necessary to measure the entropy of reaction in a battery to determine how much heat will be generated by the cell. Calculating the heat generation is necessary both for safety and to improve the longevity and performance of the cell with cooling systems. Traditional methods of measuring entropy of reaction are slow and require expensive environmental control machinery. As such a physics-based model using a frequency domain method was developed to measure entropy at a significantly faster pace. The model was tested on a custom NMC532 battery with known material parameters to check the model’s accuracy. Results from the new model were checked against measurements taken on the same cell using traditional methods. The model validation shows a high degree of accuracy, roughly 50 µV/K, using the new method.

description: We present spin relaxation times of two-dimensional holes obtained by spin sensitive bleaching of the absorption of infrared radiation in p-type GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs). It is shown that the saturation of intersubband absorption of circularly polarized radiation is mainly controlled by the spin relaxation time of the holes. The saturation behavior has been determined for different QW widths and in a wide range of temperatures with the result that the saturation intensity substantially decreases with narrowing of the QWs. Spin relaxation times are derived from the measured saturation intensities by making use of calculated (linear) absorption coefficients for direct intersubband transitions. It is shown that spin relaxation is due to the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism governed by hole-hole scattering. The problem of selection rules is addressed. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
DESCRIBING HOW SELECTION, RECOMBINATION, AND THE ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE THE EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS OF DIVERGING POPULATIONS OF THEOBROMA CACAO AND ANOPHELES GAMBIAE

description: Evolutionary genetics pertains to the identification of the genetic variants that exist within a species, especially those that contribute to evolutionary change. However, our understanding of the distribution of molecular adaptations and recombination landscapes are still limited to small geographic ranges, few sampled populations, and highly diverged species. Using full genome data from two different model systems, Theobroma cacao and Anopheles gambiae, we elucidated the distribution of molecular signatures of adaptation and the recombination landscape across a large geographic range, including multiple closely related populations. Specifically, we addressed three major questions: 1.) What does the distribution of molecular signatures of adaptation look like throughout the natural geographic range of Theobroma cacao? 2.) How does the recombination landscape vary across closely related populations of Anopheles and how does it impact levels of genetic diversity and divergence? 3.) What are the underlying genetic variants that contribute to local adaptation along the distribution of Anopheles? For the first question, we analyzed full genome data from ten populations of Theobroma cacao, genomic location of known disease resistance genes, and environmental data to elucidate the distribution of molecular signatures of adaptation. We found that most molecular signatures of adaptation were local in nature as they were only detected in a single population. For the second question we analyzed the genome of nine populations of Anopheles to compare recombination landscapes and quantify its impact of genetic diversity and divergence. We showed large variations in fine-scale recombination rates as well as significantly larger estimates of nucleotide diversity and divergence within recombination hotspots. Lastly, for the third question, we used full genome data from populations of Anopheles to further elucidate the underlining genetic variants that were associated to the surrounding environment. We identified thousands of genomic regions within and between inversions that were associated to precipitation and temperature gradients. Importantly, the results of my dissertation will offer significant insight towards improving our resolution on how we identify and infer the evolutionary genetics of a species and we encourage future studies to take a similar approach to the methods performed in this dissertation.

Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik

description: This thesis aims to contribute to the development of true cost accounting as a comprehensive approach to assessing the externalities of production systems. The research focuses on understanding the opportunities and limitations of its application, while providing science-based evidence to support advocacy for policies that promote more sustainable food systems. This is achieved through a methodological triangulation approach and a case study in Bolivia which is conducted to compare the impacts of large- and small-scale food systems. The thesis begins with a literature review and is complemented by a series of interviews with Bolivian researchers and international experts, as well as a systematic review of scientific articles and reports on TCA. The results show that while there are opportunities to overcome the limitations faced by the Bolivian researchers, there is a lack of knowledge on limitations experienced by other researchers and the solutions they found to address them. This information would be helpful for researchers and other stakeholders interested in TCA research. More research is needed to improve the tools and methods withing the TCA approach and its consideration in political decision making and development issues.
EXPLORING EQUITY AND ACCESS IN SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS USING MACHINE LEARNING: A MIXED METHODS APPROACH

Machine Learning

description: Using critical theory of technology and intersectionality, this study uses a mixed methods approach to investigate how power dynamics are embedded within the scholarship application of a two-year college in the United State. It also researches what might happen if the scholarship determination process was completed by machine learning and how that might impact students from under-represented communities. Findings indicate that scholarship applications encode power dynamics into the questions based on the federal eligibility requirements, how it defines demographic information like ethnicity and race. The application also presents as objective, subjective measures such as grade point average. In addition, power dynamics are likely to be part of how reviewers evaluate student responses. Applying machine learning to this process appears to remove the power dynamics from the reviewers, however, it perpetuates and amplifies the power dynamics embedded within the application itself, thus creating a harmful effect for students from under-represented communities.

This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site to site basis. At any site, it is important to understand both the soils, and the underlying rock.
Cyber-Physical Resilience Analysis for Power Systems

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2020

description: Traditionally, the Energy Management System (EMS) has been deployed at the control center in suggesting preventive and corrective control actions at a minute scale and the local automated control at substations at a much faster timescale. Deployment of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) such as Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) plays an essential role in addressing the system situational awareness. Remedial action schemes (RAS) have been implemented to automate coordinated control actions for the adverse operational violations. The supporting cyber system is highly dependent on the integrity of communication networks and devices, but local cyber situational awareness is limited. Cyber vulnerabilities in such devices and networks pose risks for critical applications such as RAS. A network intrusion detection system (IDS) is an essential security mechanism to prevent devices from malicious attacks.
description: In this dissertation, the real-time PMU measurement data has been utilized to develop RAS for minimum wind curtailment. The developed RAS applications provide automated control actions to eliminate system violations using DC and AC Optimal Power Flow (OPF) method implemented with fault-tolerant distributed computing algorithms. The RAS applications are simulated and tested in the real-time hardware-in-the-loop testbed. Machine-learning-based IDS has been introduced to identify the cyber anomalies at the substation level. Additionally, an adaptive framework is proposed in this dissertation to not only detect the cyber-attack behaviors by using network packets but also to conduct incremental learning to enhance the detection ability with changing network characteristics and new device vulnerabilities. Developed algorithms have been validated in a cyber-physical test system for enhanced cyber-physical resiliency using a set of assessment metrics.

description: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiotic associations with plant roots and can assist in the uptake of phosphorus (P). In low nutrient soils AMF may be more effective as a plant-growth promoter than in high nutrient soils. The research presented here evaluates the effect of AMF on grapevine (Vitis vinifera) growth and nutrient uptake in different soil P treatments. We tested two popular grape varieties, Merlot and Chardonnay, on their own rootstock. Dormant vines were grown in sterile background soil with the following treatments: Control, AMF, P Fertilizer, and AMF +P Fertilizer for five months then destructively harvested to collect final shoot and root biomass. Vine shoot length measurements were collected when shoots were developed enough to measure starting at 60 days after planting and collected every 30 days after until harvest. Subsamples of roots were scored for percentage mycorrhizal colonization and foliar nutrient analysis was performed to determine whether root colonization by AMF improved vine P and nutrient uptake. We found AMF significantly improved the shoot growth of Merlot but not Chardonnay vines in treatments without added P fertilizer. We found the AMF +P fertilizer treatment in Merlot produced greater root biomass relative all other treatments. Both cultivars treated with P fertilizer had increased foliar P concentrations at harvest, but neither cultivar was significantly affected by AMF. These results support our hypothesis that AMF would be most beneficial to vine growth in the treatments without P fertilizer. Understanding the conditions in which mycorrhizal fungi are most beneficial to grapevine growth and nutrient uptake will help to optimize vineyard management plans aimed at reducing inputs and improving agricultural sustainability.

description: Ovine progressive pneumonia is an incurable, slowly fatal infection that affects up to half of all flocks in the United States, caused by ovine lentivirus. Sheep suffer debilitating pneumonia, arthritis, encephalitis, and mastitis. Infection causes significant losses to all aspects of sheep production endangering supply of meat, milk, and wool products for human consumption. Identification of host factors that decrease susceptibility to infectious disease is a key step in combating ovine lentivirus and other retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus. We built upon previous work that detected a genomic region at four zinc finger genes ZNF389, ZNF192, ZSCAN16, and ZNF165 as strongly associated with 50% reduction in proviral load. Since proviral load is correlated with severity of disease and lifespan in production flocks, the aim was to find genetic variants to predict this resilient phenotype and that may be causal mutations. DNA regulatory elements in sheep macrophages were annotated because most mutations responsible for phenotypic consequences are found within these elements. Alveolar macrophages function in innate and adaptive immunity as well as wound healing in the lungs dependent on tissue-specific gene expression under epigenetic regulation. The functional diversity of tissue-resident macrophages highlights the need to study tissue-specific regulatory elements that control gene expression. This study reported the first genome-wide survey of regulatory elements in any sheep immune cell, specifically those enriched for H3K4me3 (active promoters), H3K27ac (active enhancers), H3K4me1 (enhancers), CTCF (domain anchors), and H3K27me3 (silencers) which allowed assignment of putative biological function to 12% of the sheep genome. This annotation of transcriptional regulatory elements in target tissues will aid researchers in identifying genetic mutations of immunological consequence for many infectious diseases. A haplotype cluster of at least ten small DNA polymorphisms within the active cis-regulatory elements for ZNF389 were significantly associated with the resilient phenotype to ovine lentivirus in multiple sheep populations. Other zinc finger transcription factors, like ZAP, have been implicated in restriction of retroviral replication from several host species. These data will empower research into functional mutations at sheep regulatory elements and development of marker-assisted selection schemes to develop disease-resilient production flocks.

THE ROLE OF KEA1 AND KEA2 TRANSPORTERS IN PLASTID ION HOMEOSTASIS AND GENE EXPRESSION

description: The maintenance of ion gradients across the chloroplast envelope plays a key role in the bioenergetics of photosynthesis by moderating proton motive force and membrane dynamics. However, this research supports the novel finding that plastid ion transporters are additionally involved in maintaining plastid gene expression (PGE), likely by impacting the stromal buffer conditions required for function of plastid RNA binding proteins. We discovered this by investigating mutant Arabidopsis thaliana lines with loss-of-function of two inner envelope membrane potassium-proton (K+/H+) antiporters KEA1 and KEA2. Simultaneous loss of both transporters results in a unique “virescent” phenotype in which young leaves have disproportionately lower photosynthetic efficiency, chlorophyll production, and underdeveloped chloroplasts compared to older leaves. The goal of this research was to determine how the loss of KEA1/2 transporters results in this peculiar chloroplast developmental phenotype. Preliminary experiments using Total-reflection X-ray Fluorescence (TXRF) revealed that loss of KEA1/2 perturbs overall plastid ion homeostasis. An analysis of nuclear and plastome gene expression revealed significant defects in plastid ribosomal RNA processing in kea1kea2 mutant lines. This likely results from altered stromal ion concentrations inhibiting the function of nuclear-encoded chloroplast RNA binding proteins involved in plastid gene expression. This defect coincided with decreased steady-state levels of photosynthesis-related proteins, and lower translation rates in the stroma. We also discovered that plastid-to-nucleus retrograde signaling protein Genomes Uncoupled 1 (GUN1) was essential to seedling survival in kea1kea2. Loss of GUN1 in the kea1kea2 background resulted in higher expression of many nuclear-encoded photosynthesis-associated genes which are normally suppressed in response to disruption of PGE. In summary, ionome-induced impairment of plastid gene expression and subsequent retrograde signaling to suppress nuclear gene expression culminates in the virescent phenotype displayed by the kea1kea2 mutants. These findings underscore the importance of ion transporters in chloroplast development.

THREE ESSAYS ON MARKET POWER AND CONSUMER WELFARE
Creators: name: Chang, Yenjae
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation consists of three papers on quantifying the welfare impacts of firms’ behavior concerning three topics in Industrial Organization. The first paper (Chapter 2) measures the effects of vertical product differentiation of public electric vehicle (EV) charging providers on market power and consumer surplus using a unique dataset on real-world EV charging data. The empirical evidence implies that charging network expansion and technology advancement by firms engaged in quality competition lead to opposite welfare impacts, such as service quality improvement and higher prices, but the net effect is significantly positive. The second paper (Chapter 3) estimates the cost pass-through rates of retail gasoline sellers by measuring the treatment effects of a temporary cut in fuel taxes using station-level panel data. The results show that pass-through rates are not uniform but positively associated with local market competition and that the pass-through heterogeneity affects the tax-cut policy impacts. The third paper (Chapter 4) examines whether Uber price discriminates based on consumers’ reservation price across routes using fare data for trips from major airports (LAX, JFK, and SFO) to hotels. This work finds that Uber engages in third-degree price discrimination, raising travelers’ welfare gain for most trips.

description: In my thesis we have addressed the questions on path planning in additive manufacturing(AM) by tackling problems related to geometry and tool path traversal in a graphical
description: setting. By using graphical models for tool path planning, we can ensure the required mechanical
description: properties are satisfied by imposing appropriate constraints. The overall goal is
description: to characterize the mathematical aspects of the AM problem and to develop efficient algorithms

description: discrete optimization, computational complexity, graph theory, and computational geometry
description: for theoretical results and to design and implement efficient algorithms.
description: We proposed an Euler transformation that transforms a given d-dimensional cell complex
description: K for d = 2; 3 into a new d-complex ^K in which every vertex is part of a same even
description: number of edges. Hence every vertex in the graph ^G that is the 1-skeleton of ^K has an even degree, which makes ^G Eulerian, i.e., it is guaranteed to contain an Eulerian tour. Meshes
description: whose edges admit Eulerian tours are crucial in coverage problems arising in several applications

description: We developed a framework that creates a new polygonal mesh representation of the 3D
description: domain of a layer-by-layer 3D printing job on which I identify a single, continuous tool
description: paths covering each connected piece of the domain in every layer. I present a tool path

description: Wing polyphenisms represent a classic life history trade-off between investment inreproduction or migration. While the analysis of trade-offs known as life history theory explains
description: why this phenomenon occurs, how it occurs at an evolutionary, developmental, or mechanistic
description: level remains unknown. The wing polyphenic sand cricket, Gryllus firmus, exhibits markedly
description: different developmental trajectories based on environmental signals it receives during
description: development. Upon completing nymphal development this species of cricket ecloses with long
description: functional wings, or small non-functional wings. This phenotypically plastic response allows the
description: insect to stay and reproduce when conditions are good or migrate and fly away before
description: commencing reproduction in poor conditions.
description: In chapter one I reviewed what is known about the mechanistic underpinnings of the
description: development of wing polyphenic insects. Through this review I formulated a hypothesis about
description: which signaling pathway underlies wing development in wing polyphenic taxa, which has been
description: supported by more recent publications.
description: vi
description: In chapter two I assessed the development, morphology, and fitness of G. firmus. This
description: chapter used two selected lines, one selected for long wing morphs and one for short wing
description: morphs. A longitudinal ontogenetic framework was utilized to compare developmental
description: morphology of G. firmus, and a predictable terminal series of instars exhibited across sexes and
description: morphs was identified, despite exhibiting a variable number of nymphal instars. No significant
description: differences were found between the presumptive morphs until adult eclosion, lending support to
description: the hypothesis that the sensitive period in wing polyphenic insects occurs during the terminal
description: instars.
description: In my third chapter, I used a field collected line from Florida along with the lab-selected lines to compare responses to
description: environmental cues across lines. This line was used in conjunction with the selected lines to
description: assess the cues of nutrition and density.
description: In chapter four I assess the transduction mechanisms underpinning this environmentally
description: sensitive phenotype using pharmacological inhibition and RNA interference in both the labselected lines.
description: This work provides insight on the environmental cues and mechanistic underpinnings of
description: wing polyphenic insect development. Overall, my dissertation expands our understanding of how
description: environmentally sensitive phenotypes function at an evolutionary, developmental, and
