Note. Reexamination of the specimens of Deltochilum pseudoicarus mentioned in Ratcliffe (2013b: 493), with the aid of the key provided in González-Alvarado and Vaz-de-Mello (2014: 467), has revealed they are, in fact, D. icarus (B. Ratcliffe, pers. comm.). The distribution of D. icarus appears to be limited to the research area, while D. pseudoicarus is a species restricted to southern and eastern Brazil, northern Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. The records of D. icarus in Paulian (1938: 265) from Brazil (Minas Gerais), Bolivia and Paraguay may well belong to D. pseudoicarus.

Ensemble kalman filter data assimilation in regions of complex terrain

Data assimilation

Numerical simulation

description: Accurate weather forecasting in complex terrain is of great importance, yet it is a challenging problem due to a number of difficulties, including sparse observations, terrain misrepresentation in numerical models, and model errors related to terrain complexity. Owing to these limitations, few previous studies in data assimilation have emphasized regions of complex terrain. This dissertation presents the first comprehensive evaluation of data assimilation methods and forecast error characteristics for near-surface atmospheric variables in complex terrain. The mesoscale community Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and an advanced ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) data assimilation system are employed. First, the capability of the advanced EnKF method in assimilating near-surface observations (2-m temperature and 10-m wind) is examined in an observing system simulation experiments framework and compared with the traditional three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) method. Results indicated that the EnKF is able to effectively assimilate surface observations and improve the short-range weather forecasts, while the 3DVAR method has fundamental problems in assimilating surface observations. Next, the performance of the WRF model in predicting near-surface atmospheric temperature and wind conditions under various terrain and weather regimes is examined. The WRF model is able to simulate these weather phenomena reasonably well. Forecasts of near-surface variables in flat terrain generally agree well with observations. In complex terrain, forecasts not only suffer from the model's inability to reproduce accurate atmospheric conditions in the lower atmosphere but also struggle with representative issues due to mismatches between the model and the actual terrain. A statistical analysis during a 1-month period over the Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah illustrates that forecast errors in near-surface variables depend strongly on the diurnal variation in surface conditions, especially when synoptic forcing is weak. Finally, the impact of observations from the recent field experiments of the Mountain Terrain Atmospheric Modeling and Observations (MATERHORN) is examined with EnKF. Results illustrated that the quality of the EnKF/WRF analysis is generally high and the short-range forecast errors are comparable to those of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) North American Mesoscale Model (NAM) forecasts for both 10-m wind speed and direction.
Wireless link signature: measurements, methodologies, and applications
Creators: name: Zhang, Junxing
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: We study and advance unique representations of physical layer wireless links, and explore opportunities to use them in location distinction, secret key establishment,  and perimeter distinction applications. Location distinction is the ability to determine when a device has changed its position. We compare two existing location distinction methods, and then combine their benefits to develop a new method using a metric that we call complex temporal signature. We use a 2.4 GHz link measurement dataset to evaluate the three methods. We find that the complex temporal signature method performs significantly better than the existing methods. We also perform new measurements to understand and model the temporal behavior of our link signatures. We integrate our model in our location distinction mechanism and significantly reduce false alarms due to temporal variations of link signatures. We propose an approach where wireless devices, interested in establishing a  secret key, sample the link signature space in a physical area to collect and combine uncorrelated measurements to generate the key. We study the impact of mobility  patterns in obtaining uncorrelated measurements and find that (i) when movement step size is larger than one foot, the measurements are mostly uncorrelated, and (ii)  more diffusion in the mobility results in less correlation in the measurements. We develop efficient mechanisms to encode measurements and reconcile the differences  in the bits extracted between the two devices. Our results show that our scheme generates very high entropy secret bits at a high rate.
Solving geometric constraint problems through Monte Carlo optimization

description: Geometric constraint problems appear in many situations, including CAD systems, robotics, and computational biology. The complexity of these problems inspires the search for efficient solutions. We have developed a method to solve geometric constraint problems in the areas of geometric computation and robot path planning using  configuration space subdivision. In this approach the configuration space, or parameter space, is subdivided and conservatively tested to find collision-free regions, which are then numerically searched for specific path solutions. This thesis presents a new more general approach to this last solution search step, using Monte Carlo optimization. In this new search approach, within a single subdivided area of configuration  space, space is randomly sampled and then iteratively resampled based on importance  weighting, until convergence to a solution with an acceptable error. We show that by using Monte Carlo optimization to extend configuration space subdivision we can solve higher dimensional problems more efficiently than configuration space  subdivision by itself.
Microstructural analysis of cemented tungsten carbide using orientation imaging microscopy (OIM)

description: Cemented tungsten carbide is one of the most widely produced powder  metallurgy products. For the past 75 years cemented tungsten carbide tools have been  performing at an increasingly popular rate. Fine-grain, especially nano-grain, cemented  tungsten carbides make it possible to achieve a new range of properties that are improved  from their present counterparts. Developments in powder processing enable us to produce  true nano-size tungsten carbide powder (< 30 nm). Producing true nano-grain cemented  carbide compacts remains a challenge. The conventional grain growth inhibitors are not  able to inhibit grain growth of nano-grain carbides, and liquid phase sintering is not  suitable for nano-grain carbides due to rapid grain growth. The only possible way to  sinter of nano-grain size cemented tungsten carbide is solid state sintering. Several  studies have focused on the sintering behavior of nanocrystalline WC-Co. The majority  of densification and grain growth in the specimen occurs in solid state. Hence in order to  achieve fully dense nano-grain size WC-Co, it is necessary to understand the underlying  mechanism of densification and grain growth. In this study, a comprehensive  microstructural analysis was carried out during solid state and liquid phase sintering on  micron grade samples using Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIM). Several  microstructural parameters were analyzed to investigate the grain growth mechanisms. A  comprehensive grain boundary analysis was also done to investigate grain boundary  evolution during sintering, especially for the preferred misorientation. Since cemented carbide showed preferred prism shape in the micro structure, a faceting analysis was also  carried out. OIM software does not provide tools for all of the analysis that were carried  out in this study, so an algorithm for faceting analysis was generated and implemented.

description: Monsters have been traditionally regarded as large, aggressive, and ugly creatures that live in our nightmares to terrify us with their abnormal bodies and hideous appearances. They are generally relegated to the realm of evil in our fictions, folklores and mythologies, and used as symbols to describe the darker sides of humanity, the things that most frighten us about ourselves and things we do not understand about the world we live in. This thesis seeks to expand our sociocultural and aesthetic definitions of monsters, and to reframe them as sources of inner strength and individual freedom. The creative potential of these classical creatures in the dance world is limitless, as they have the power to subvert our preconceptions of morality, social boundaries, aesthetics, and personal limitations. For this thesis, I have investigated my own experiences from my dance training in China and the revolution that has taken place in my choreographic creative processes here in the United States; I search for the monsters that surround my life and those that live inside me. As I have sought to redefine the monster as a source of our courage, a protector, and even a hero, I have regarded monstrosity as a potential source of aesthetic inspiration for redefining the possibilities of movement creation and performance potential in dance.

description: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with land plants and supply soil minerals including phosphorus to their hosts. AM fungi accumulate polyphosphate (polyP), a linear phosphate polymer, in their mycelia, which functions in phosphorus storage and translocation. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been demonstrated that the vacuolar transporter chaperone 4 (VTC4) protein, a subunit of the VTC complex, is responsible for polyP synthesis. Here, we conducted a comprehensive survey of VTC proteins in eight AM fungal genomes by Blast analysis and characterized the biochemical properties of the Rhizophagus irregularis VTC4. The genomes of AM fungal species encode VTC1, VTC2, and VTC4. The recombinant protein RiVTC4* (RiVTC4183–474) containing the catalytic tunnel domain was expressed in E. coli cells and purified. RiVTC4* is capable of catalyzing polyP polymerization using ATP as a substrate. Pyrophosphate enhanced polyP-polymerizing activity >10-fold. RiVTC4* exhibited maximum activity at neutral pH and required divalent metal ions, preferentially Mn2+. In the presence of high concentrations of ADP, the reverse reaction (the regeneration of ATP from polyP) by RiVTC4* occurred. In the range of 0.2–5 mM ADP, polyP depolymerization by the reverse reaction was observed at the ATP/ADP ratio of less than 2–5. These results suggest that AM fungal VTC4 not only synthesizes polyP but also regenerates ATP from polyP and ADP, which has potential implications for the modulation of polyP and ATP levels in AM fungi.

Thesis and dissertation georeferencing project

description: Interest is rapidly increasing in geothermal energy as an economic and plentiful energy source. Because of the anomalous resistivities characteristically found in a geothermal environment, direct current exploration methods can be used to delineate hot, saline waters within more resistive ground rock, or resistive volcanic rocks within less resistive ground rock. Resistivity surveying was employed at Fumarole Butte, Utah, to delineate the contact between a basalt extrusive and underlying lacustrine sediments, and possibly delineate source waters of a near­ by hot spring that may be present under the basalt. Because geothermal investigation at Fumarole Butte is in a preliminary stage, the geology and hydrology of the area are reported in some detail. The results of dipole-dipole resistivity and induced polarization profiles across the basalt, and Schlumberger resistivity soundings on the basalt and on the sediments, are presented. Basalt and sediment resistivity values of around 2000 ohm-meters and 10-12 ohm-meters, respectively, are indicated. An increase in water, salt, and clay with depth is believed to cause the decrease in resistivity and increase in induced polar­ ization with depth, apparent from the resistivity-IP data.

Improving combined tactile-kinesthetic haptic feedback through haptic shading algorithms and mechanical design constraints

description: Virtual environments provide a consistent and relatively inexpensive method of training individuals. They often include haptic feedback in the form of forces applied to a manipulandum or thimble to provide a more immersive and educational experience. However, the limited haptic feedback provided in these systems tends to be restrictive and frustrating to use. Providing tactile feedback in addition to this kinesthetic feedback can enhance the user's ability to manipulate and interact with virtual objects while providing a greater level of immersion. This dissertation advances the state-of-the-art by providing a better understanding of tactile feedback and advancing combined tactilekinesthetic systems. The tactile feedback described within this dissertation is provided by a finger-mounted device called the contact location display (CLD). Rather than displaying the entire contact surface, the device displays (feeds back) information only about the center of contact between the user's finger and a virtual surface. In prior work, the CLD used specialized two-dimensional environments to provide smooth tactile feedback. Using polygonal environments would greatly enhance the device's usefulness. However, the surface discontinuities created by the facets on these models are rendered through the CLD, regardless of traditional force shading algorithms. To address this issue, a haptic shading algorithm was developed to provide smooth tactile and kinesthetic interaction with general polygonal models. Two experiments were used to evaluate the shading algorithm. iv To better understand the design requirements of tactile devices, three separate experiments were run to evaluate the perception thresholds for cue localization, backlash, and system delay. These experiments establish quantitative design criteria for tactile devices. These results can serve as the maximum (i.e., most demanding) device specifications for tactile-kinesthetic haptic systems where the user experiences tactile feedback as a function of his/her limb motions. Lastly, a revision of the CLD was constructed and evaluated. By taking the newly evaluated design criteria into account, the CLD device became smaller and lighter weight, while providing a full two degree-of-freedom workspace that covers the bottom hemisphere of the finger. Two simple manipulation experiments were used to evaluate the new CLD device.

description: Gymnocarpos decandrus Forssk. is a well-known grazing wild plant. This study targets scientific validation of its claimed antidiabetic activity and exploring its bioactive metabolites. Chromatographic purification of G. decandrus ethanol extract (GDEE) allowed isolation of vitexin (C1), protocatechuic acid (C2) and quercetin (C3). HPLC-PDA-MS/MS enabled identification of nineteen metabolites; 13 flavonoids, 5 saponins, and 1 phenolic acid in G. decandrus and four in the genus Gymnocarpos for the first time. The antidiabetic potential was evaluated via testing the Coxsackie B4 virus and α-glucosidase inhibitory potentials. C3 exhibited its potent antiviral activity through blocking of the virus attachment (96.28%, SI 4.41) and virus inactivation before adsorption (91.47%, SI 4.78). GDEE and C1–C3 showed dose dependent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 of 733.9, 293.3, 118.1 and 69.1 µg/mL, respectively. Our study represents the sole complete map for G. decandrus secondary metabolites and presents it as promising drug for diabetes management.

description: Wireless data transfer in aircraft has been identified as a 'transformative' technology for aviation. Numerous sensors for improving safety and reliability have  been proposed for aircraft, and wireless communication is desired to increase the flexibility of their deployment and minimize weight and maintenance. The aircraft  channel has moderate to rich multipath which can be exploited by a multiantenna system to increase data throughput. The aircraft channel can be modeled using a site-specific 3D ray-tracing model and statistical models such as the Gaussian, Nakagami-m, and Weibull models. When combined with the front end parameters including directivity, polarization, matching, and efficiency, very accurate results are obtained. These models have been validated by performing measurements in three aircraft - Beech Baron BE 58P, Rockwell T-39 Sabreliner, and Diamond DA 42 Twin Star. Accurate prediction of practical system capacity requires consideration of external interference sources as well as adjacent users.  Along with interference, noise must also be considered in realistic systems, because it reduces the capacity by increasing the ambiguity at the detector.

description: To elucidate the effects of slow-release fertilizers on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from fields with winter wheat cultivation in cool-temperate regions, we conducted a two-year field experiment in Hokkaido. Four types of fertilizer treatment, i.e., urea (U), coated urea (CU), coated calcium nitrate (CC), and no nitrogen fertilizer (NN) were investigated. In the U treatment, urea was applied at 40 and 90 + 60 kg N ha−1 in autumn and in spring, respectively. In the CU and CC treatments, all the nitrogen (190 kg N ha−1) was applied using coated fertilizers in autumn for the first cultivation, whereas nitrogen was applied at 130 kg N ha−1 using the coated fertilizers in autumn and the remaining 60 kg N ha−1 was applied using urea in spring for the second cultivation. The magnitudes and seasonal courses of N2O flux did not largely differ among the treatments (i.e., types of fertilizer), including the NN treatment in most of the experimental periods except that the N2O fluxes were higher in the U and CU treatments than in the CC and NN treatments at the beginning of the second wheat cultivation. In all the treatments, the N2O flux showed the highest peak immediately after basal fertilization, followed by other small peaks in autumn. After the next spring, the N2O flux consistently remained low until the wheat harvest including immediately after the end of snowmelt and after supplemental fertilizations. Cumulative N2O emissions tended to be lower in the CC treatment than in the U and CU treatments, although these differences in the emissions were not statistically significant. Although the wheat grain yields were lower in the CU and CC treatments than in the U treatments, the differences were small for the second wheat cultivation. These results indicate that reduction in N2O emission with no decrease in the wheat yield can be achieved by the basal application of slow-release nitrate fertilizer combined with the supplemental application of conventional fertilizer in winter wheat cultivation in Hokkaido, although further studies are still necessary to determine the optimum allocation levels of the basal and supplemental nitrogen applications.

description: A growing incidence of drug resistance and tumour proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer escalates the urge for potential lead molecules. The plant-derived natural compounds have played a pivotal role in potential therapeutic agents owing to its versatility and low toxicity over the past decades. In this study, we have executed an in-silico based screening of 1574 natural compounds against the β-catenin via an integrated pharmacophore approach. Further investigation revealed that Mucronulatol and 7,4'-dihydroxyhomoisoflavanone possess a higher Glide score (−4.748 and −3.943 kcal/mol), binding affinity (−44.763 and −41.883 kcal/mol) alongside drug-likeness property than the iCRT5. Moreover, these compounds are reported to have cytotoxicity against lung cancer cell lines with an IC50 value of 6.74 µM and 8.99 µM respectively. Furthermore, dynamic studies were employed to determine the structural stability and we hope that the lead molecules proposed in this study could effectively inhibit the β-catenin pathway associated with NSCLC.

Writing and repetition: Ontic writing and questions of authenticity in Haruki Murakami's  1Q84

description: I will examine the "Q" of 1Q84 as an invitation for questions about authenticity that result in an acknowledgement of the necessity to interpret one's own heritage and construct meaning in one's own present context. I will use examples of 1Q84's narrative structure, especially the parallel narratives of the protagonist dyad and various examples of appropriations of Orwellian themes within, especially the example of a central organizing force in the character Leader, to show the inaccessibility of history as "archaeological authenticity." Rather, following Heidegger's Being and Time, I will argue that authenticity is achieved as one accepts the inescapable recognition that heritage is already interpreted, and one accepts the necessity of interpreting one's own context in order to situate one's being within-making authentic being a hermeneutic process, rather than an archaeological process. The realization that one's relationship with the world is necessarily a hermeneutic process of appropriating one's cultural fragments and adapting them to a new narrative of being is a process that I will call ontic writing. Ontic writing emerges from the tension of one's own struggle to situate one's being between fate (perceived as heritage or historical truth as inevitable) and free-will (as one's ability to interpret and thus inflect their lived experience) as one deliberately weaves one's own narrative out of the fragments of one's received heritage. My analysis relies heavily upon Martin Heidegger's Being and Time, with Jacques Derrida's "Structure, Sign and Play" as the primary analytic framework.

description: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with land plants and supply soil minerals including phosphorus to their hosts. AM fungi accumulate polyphosphate (polyP), a linear phosphate polymer, in their mycelia, which functions in phosphorus storage and translocation. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been demonstrated that the vacuolar transporter chaperone 4 (VTC4) protein, a subunit of the VTC complex, is responsible for polyP synthesis. Here, we conducted a comprehensive survey of VTC proteins in eight AM fungal genomes by Blast analysis and characterized the biochemical properties of the Rhizophagus irregularis VTC4. The genomes of AM fungal species encode VTC1, VTC2, and VTC4. The recombinant protein RiVTC4* (RiVTC4183–474) containing the catalytic tunnel domain was expressed in E. coli cells and purified. RiVTC4* is capable of catalyzing polyP polymerization using ATP as a substrate. Pyrophosphate enhanced polyP-polymerizing activity >10-fold. RiVTC4* exhibited maximum activity at neutral pH and required divalent metal ions, preferentially Mn2+. In the presence of high concentrations of ADP, the reverse reaction (the regeneration of ATP from polyP) by RiVTC4* occurred. In the range of 0.2–5 mM ADP, polyP depolymerization by the reverse reaction was observed at the ATP/ADP ratio of less than 2–5. These results suggest that AM fungal VTC4 not only synthesizes polyP but also regenerates ATP from polyP and ADP, which has potential implications for the modulation of polyP and ATP levels in AM fungi.

Note. Reexamination of the specimens of Deltochilum pseudoicarus mentioned in Ratcliffe (2013b: 493), with the aid of the key provided in González-Alvarado and Vaz-de-Mello (2014: 467), has revealed they are in fact D. icarus (B. Ratcliffe, pers. comm.). The distribution of D. icarus appears to be limited to the research area, while D. pseudoicarus is a species restricted to southern and eastern Brazil, northern Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay.

description: Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. (BM) has been traditionally used in Ayurveda for improving memory and cognitive deficits which is also evidenced through experimental and clinical studies. The neuropharmacological properties of BM are attributed to “bacosides”, a complex mixture of saponin compounds. BM extracts enriched with bacosides offers commercial advantage due to perceived higher efficacy. However, there is no scientific data to support the same. In the present study, methanolic extract of BM (BME) was compared with bacosides enriched (BME-EF) vis a vis bacosides free fraction (BME-FF). Potential antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory activity has been evaluated using in vitro and in vivo methods. BME showed not only the highest anti-amnesic efficacy but also antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory activity, followed by either BME-FF or BME-EF. Interestingly, no significant differences were found in between the groups. These findings dispel the notion that bacosides enrichment enhances anti-amnesic efficacy and also suggests the contribution of other components.

Pattern of the maturity of the neurological system related to a mathematical model of the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome
Creators: name: Coleman, Rebecca Ann
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Neurologic Manifestations of General Diseases

description: A pilot study was done with regard to the relationship between a pattern of neurological maturity and a model of the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Ten Caucasian infants, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, were studied at one, two, three, and four months of age.   A neurological exam was performed at each age and questions about the infant having had any respiratory infections were asked of the infant's mother. This pilot study suggests that neurological development might explain a model of SIDS. Reflexes that disappear with age were tested and graphed against reflexes which increase with age. The reflexes tested which increase with age included visual response, inanimate auditory response, animate visual and auditory responses, asymmetrical tonic neck reflex, stripping action of the tongue, rate of sucks, grouping of sucks, pull to a sit, cuddliness, consolability, plantar reflex and palmar reflex. The reflexes which decrease with age included the Babinski reflex, walking, placing, incurvation of the trunk, the Moro reflex, the rooting reflex, ankle clonus and the number of startles observed during the exam.  The researcher was able to graph the line of the reflexes that increase with age to intersect with the line of reflexes that decrease with age.  The intersection occurred between two and three months of age.  This might suggest the presence of a neurological strain at this age.  This is also the time of greatest vulnerability to SIDS. It was also interesting to note that this study showed that male infants retain the reflexes that decline longer than females.This study also revealed a peak of respiratory infections at two months of age.  It is possible that SIDS occurs at an age when an infant is most vulnerable both neurologically and in the probability of acquiring a respiratory insult.  A study with a larger sample size needs to be done to substantiate this data.
