description: A child's age in comparison to the age of her or his classmates (relative age) has been found to be an influential factor on academic achievement, particularly but not exclusively at the beginning of formal schooling. However, few studies have focused on the generalizability of relative age effects. To close this gap, the present study analyzes the generalizability across students with and without immigrant backgrounds, across three student cohorts that entered school under a changing law of school enrollment, and across classes. To this end, we capitalized on representative large-scale data sets from three student cohorts attending public schools in Berlin, the capital of Germany. We analyzed the data using a multilevel framework. Our results for the overall student sample indicate relative age effects for reading and mathematics in favor of the relatively older students in Grade 2 that become somewhat smaller in size in Grade 3. By Grade 8, relative age effects had vanished in reading and had even reversed in favor of the relatively young in mathematics. Furthermore, relative age effects were not found to be systematically different among students with and without immigrant backgrounds, student cohorts, or across classes. Taken together, these results empirically underscore the broad generalizability of the findings as found for the overall student population and replicate the pattern of findings on relative effects as identified by the majority of previous studies.

description: “L’Dor V’dor” is an Aramaic phrase that means “from generation to generation.” These words on my lips have been repeated by many Jewish relatives before me, for thousands of years. Nestled in prayer, we speak together. I remember how my father spoke them, how my grandmother spoke them, L’Dor V’Dor, means from generation to generation. L’Dor V’dor”—Dor, that word, also means place, habitation. From place to place we carry our memories. Imagine how your ancestors lived, breathed, moved, worked. Are there some things that you still do, some habits that you still carry out, some stories that you tell? What has stayed with you from place to place? What stories do you carry with you from generation to generation?

description: Cola beverages are often made available to competitors during endurance sporting events. This thesis describes a series of investigations examining the frequency and possible physiological consequences of cola beverage use by trained endurance athletes. An initial field study assessed the knowledge, prevalence and quantity of caffeine use by athletes competing at the 2005 Ironman® Triathlon World Championships. A large majority (89%) of athletes were planning on using a caffeinated substance immediately prior to or throughout the race and a similarly high proportion (78%) indicated that cola would be one source of this caffeine. Results also indicated a trend towards greater caffeine use in those athletes aware of its recent removal from the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) prohibited substances list. The first laboratory based study investigated the ergogenic impact of changing to a cola flavoured beverage during the later stages of an endurance cycling task as. Results demonstrated that changing to a cola flavoured, but ingredient matched beverage, or an alternative flavoured sports drink following prolonged exposure to one sports drink flavour did not affect subsequent cycling time trial performance, perception of effort or perceived ratings of gastrointestinal function. These findings suggest that flavour–mediated mechanisms do not coThe final laboratory study investigated the dose-response effects of 1.5 and 3 mg∙kg-1 body weight (BW) of caffeine on exogenous CHO oxidation, and performance during endurance exercise.

description: Morphological analysis is an important subtask in text-to-speech conversion, hyphenation, and other language engineering tasks. The traditional approach to performing morphological analysis is to combine a morpheme lexicon, sets of (linguistic) rules, and heuristics to find a most probable analysis. In contrast we present an inductive learning approach in which morphological analysis is reformulated as a segmentation task. We report on a number of experiments in which five inductive learning algorithms are applied to three variations of the task of morphological analysis. Results show (i) that the generalisation performance of the algorithms is good, and (ii) that the lazy learning algorithm IB1-IG performs best on all three tasks. We conclude that lazy learning of morphological analysis as a classification task is indeed a viable approach; moreover, it has the strong advantages over the traditional approach of avoiding the knowledge-acquisition bottleneck, being fast and deterministic in learning and processing, and being language-independent.

description: In this paper we explain how contextual expectations are generated and used in the task-oriented spoken language understanding system Dialogos. The hard task of recognizing spontaneous speech on the telephone may greatly benefit from the use of specific language models during the recognition of callers' utterances. By 'specific language models' we mean a set of language models that are trained on contextually appropriated data, and that are used during different states of the dialogue on the basis of the information sent to the acoustic level by the dialogue management module. In this paper we describe how the specific language models are obtained on the basis of contextual information. The experimental result we report show that recognition and understanding performance are improved thanks to the use of specific language models.

description: The goal of this research is to figure out how spontaneous storytelling could contribute to the preservation of existing women’s history of ethnic enclaves like Manhattan’s Chinatown. Starting from the key questions put forward at the beginning of the thesis, the two cases in Chapter Three mainly focus on the following questions: Who are the initial narrators and how did they consciously preserve the historic legacy of women’s history by storytelling? When the narrators and methods of storytelling changed, can the activities of preservation still continue based on the existing storytelling? How did the gendered spaces are narrated in their storytelling? From both the case of Mabel Lee and the women garment laborers' protest of 1982, one common characteristic of the storytelling is the conscious mention of the space-related memories, which shows as a historic “scene” to recall the memories shared among different generations of the community. By describing the activities that happened historically in the spaces, the storytelling re-discovered the value of the inundated places, which are always lacking conservation and historic interpretation. In this way, the spontaneous storytelling could be valuable, bottom-to-up way of preserving the local community’s underrepresented group’s historic legacy, because it could function as a storage of historic information before the story’s value was re-discovered by the public cultural organizations, and after the story’s historic value was re-discovered, it could build the language of its historic value based on the community’s emotional, in-situ memory of the space. Thus, by consciously collecting and preserving the trace of storytelling before the unrepresented women’s history was recognized and related landmarks was officially designated, and digging the space-related storytelling after the women’s history was publically narrated, the spaces with submerged history could get better preservation with the community’s understanding and support.

description: Receptor-mediated endocytosis requires that the energy of adhesion overcomes the deformation energy of the plasma membrane. The resulting driving force is balanced by dissipative forces, leading to deterministic dynamical equations. While the shape of the free membrane does not play an important role for tensed and loose membranes, in the intermediate regime it leads to an important energy barrier. Here we show that this barrier is similar to but different from an effective line tension and suggest a simple analytical approximation for it. We then explore the rich dynamics of uptake for particles of different shapes and present the corresponding dynamical state diagrams. We also extend our model to include stochastic fluctuations, which facilitate uptake and lead to corresponding changes in the phase diagrams.

description: We present Morpheus, a new model for generating pixel-level morphological classifications of astronomical sources. Morpheus leverages advances in deep learning to perform source detection, source segmentation, and morphological classification pixel-by-pixel via a semantic segmentation algorithm adopted from the field of computer vision. By utilizing morphological information about the flux of real astronomical sources during object detection, Morpheus shows resiliency to false-positive identifications of sources. We evaluate Morpheus by performing source detection, source segmentation, morphological classification on the Hubble Space Telescope data in the five CANDELS fields with a focus on the GOODS South field, and demonstrate a high completeness in recovering known GOODS South 3D-HST sources with H < 26 AB. We release the code publicly, provide online demonstrations, and present an interactive visualization of the Morpheus results in GOODS South.

description: This study seeks to determine China’s long-run prospects for ascending to high-income status. The conclusion reached is that China’s chances of joining the ranks of wealthy economies that define the global frontier are sound, but they are not overwhelming. This judgement is reached following a detailed empirical examination of China’s very long term economic history up to the time of writing; a lengthy assessment of the industrialisation path of Asia’s first industrial giant, Japan; and a discussion of the strategies pursued by selected first and second generation industrialisers. The entire argument is framed by Snooks’ dynamic strategy theory, which is expounded in a novel form and extended to meet the requirements of the task at hand. A new concept, the strategic alternator, is introduced to provide a formal microeconomic bridge between the general theory and the pragmatic empirical requirements of the study’s ultimate objective. Both the theoretical extension and the application of the dynamic strategy theory to China’s very long run pathway represent unique and original contributions.

"The Destiny of Words": Documentary Theatre, the Avant-Garde, and the Politics of Form
Creators: Youker, Timothy Earl
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Theater
Comparative literature

description: This dissertation reads examples of early and contemporary documentary theatre in order to show that, while documentary theatre is often presumed to be an essentially realist practice, its history, methods, and conceptual underpinnings are closely tied to the historical and contemporary avant-garde theatre. The dissertation begins by examining the works of the Viennese satirist and performer Karl Kraus and the German stage director Erwin Piscator in the 1920s. The second half moves on to contemporary artists Handspring Puppet Company, Ping Chong, and Charles L. Mee. Ultimately, in illustrating the documentary theatre's close relationship with avant-gardism, this dissertation supports a broadened perspective on what documentary theatre can be and do and reframes discussion of the practice's political efficacy by focusing on how documentaries enact ideological critiques through form and seek to reeducate the senses of audiences through pedagogies of reception.
"The Disorganized Tribe": Navajo Resistance to the Progressive Ideal, 1933-1935
Creators: Redburn, Kate
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: History

description: This paper examines a dramatic conflict between the federal government and Navajo or Diné people after the New Deal. After killing some three hundred thousand Diné horses, goats, and sheep, the government held a referendum on the reservation for a major reform package to devolve power back to tribal authorities. Government officials were shocked when the nation's largest tribe voted down the reforms. I argue that the vote result is best explained by consistent federal government misunderstanding of how political power was distributed on the reservation. The government's ignorance became a tragic flaw, rather than a predictable misidentification, in the context of the stock reductions of 1933-1935, which fomented Diné antagonism against the government. With anger running high, Diné political factions united to repudiate government intervention in Diné Bikeyah. Most notably, the interests of traditional female leaders whose power and status was derived from their livestock converged with the interests of assimilationist Diné men who resented the government's cultural preservationist stance. This convergence happened right under the nose of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) officials, but they were ill equipped to notice. They expected to find a homogenous, paternalist tribe with democratic principles enshrined in the Tribal Council and local Chapter House system; instead, they encountered a political tradition of consultation, discussion, and consensus, within a culture of gender equality.

description: Investigation of structure and function of parasite proteins is the major goal of this thesis. The two protein systems studied in this work, parasite annexins and pathogenesis-related proteins (PRPs), have both been speculated to be involved in host-parasite interactions. Parasite annexins are members of the annexin superfamily; the hallmark feature of annexins is their calcium-dependent binding to phospholipid membranes. PRPs are among the excretory/secretory (ES) products that are highly up-regulated in the transition from a developmentally arrested free-living form to a tissue-penetrating larva (L3 stage) of the parasite. Some parasite annexins and PRPs have been reported to have immunogenic properties, thus making them potential vaccine candidates. The first part of the thesis covers the structural and functional investigation of parasite annexins. The expression, purification and biophysical properties of alpha-1 giardin and alpha-3 giardin (from G. lamblia) and Anx(Sm)1 from S. mansoni are discussed in chapter 3. This chapter describes an efficient expression and purification protocol that was used to successfully produce large amounts of highly pure untagged alpha-1 and alpha-3 giardins. A liposome affinity and anion exchange chromatography were used for purification of alpha-1 giardin, whereas ion exchange chromatography was used to purify alpha-3 giardin. The identity and molecular mass of all parasite annexins were validated using mass spectrometry and SEC-MALS, and were found to be in excellent agreement with the theoretical value of each protein. SEC-MALS results also showed that alpha-1 giardin is monomeric, whereas alpha-3 giardin and Anx(Sm)1 exist as a monomer-dimer mix in solution. CD spectroscopy was used to investigate the effect of phospholipid vesicles and calcium on the conformational and thermal stability of parasite annexins. Differential effects on the alpha-helical content of alpha-1 and alpha-3 giardin are observed with varying lipid compositions. While calcium induced conformational change of alpha-1 giardin, it has no effect on the CD spectra of alpha-3 giardin. Calcium was also found to destabilise the folding stability of alpha-1 giardin and alpha-3 giardin, but had no significant effect on the folding stability and conformation of Anx(Sm)1. The destabilisation effect of calcium on protein folding stability was also observed in annexins that lack type II calcium in some of their repeats.
Emission peaks in the light curve of core collapse supernovae by late jets

description: We build a toy model where the central object, i.e., a newly born neutron star or a black hole, launches jets at late times and show that these jets might account for peaks in the light curve of some peculiar (i.e., having unusual light curves) core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) when the jets interact with the CCSN ejecta. We assume that the central object accretes fallback material and launches two short-lived opposite jets weeks to months after the explosion. We model each jet-ejecta interaction as a spherically symmetric `mini explosion' that takes place inside the ejecta. We assume that each `mini explosion' adds emission that is symmetric in time around the late peak, and with a rise in emission power that has the same slope as that of the main CCSN light curve. In total we use 12 parameters in the toy model. In our toy model late jets form stronger emission peaks than early jets. Late jets with a kinetic energy of only about one percent of the kinetic energy of the CCSN itself might form strong emission peaks. We apply our toy model to the brightest peak of the enigmatic CCSN iPTF14hls that has several extra peaks in its light curve. We can fit this emission peak with our toy model when we take the kinetic energy of the jets to be about one to two percent of the CCSN energy, and the shocked ejecta mass to be about three percent of the ejecta mass.

Visualizing te kainga, dancing te kainga : history and culture between Rabi, Banaba and beyond
Creators: name: Teaiwa, Katerina

Year: 2002

description: Visualising te kaingal, Dancing te Kainga, is an exploration of Banaban and Gilbertese history and culture through archival texts and photographs, writing in history and anthropology, film, music and dance, and fieldwork or what I call "homework" The form of the thesis resonates with its content as I explore these sites of knowledge production through analysis, narrative, poetry, memory, image, and video. Banaban history and politics has been mainly defined with respect to the British colonial and phosphate mining experiences between 1900 and 1980. Banaban or Ocean Island is viewed as the essential "homeland" while Rabi is still seen as a new and disconcerting place of exile. I go beyond this two-island frame of reference by arguing for Rabi as "home" and including Australia, New Zealand and Kiribati as valid sites for exploring Banaban and Gilbertese identities. Focusing on kainga, or home, is a tool that allows us to connect these places. Like aba, or land, kainga has multiple meanings including people (and their specific relationships), land, residence and genealogy. Banabans are connected genealogically and culturally to specific islands in Kiribati and more broadly to land, history, politics and economics in Australia and New Zealand through phosphate mining and phosphate fertiliser. Both Banaban lands and bodies have been moved over the last 100 years and "movement" is a crucial aesthetic for dealing with Banaban survival as they create their own brand of culture through song and dance on Rabi. Like dance, film contains an excess of meaning and the overall thesis is associative as well as expository inviting the reader to make meaning, along with the author, between text, image and video.

description: Approaches to prevent and respond to youth sexual offending behaviour often place great emphasis on the individual with less emphasis on the influence of the broader context in which sexual offending behaviour occurs (Smallbone & Cale, 2016). The extent that broader contextual influences have on sexual offending behaviour may help to account for its diversity, including among the young people who perpetrate it. It is, therefore, important to explore new ways to prevent and improve current responses to youth-perpetrated sexual offending behaviour through the influence of the broader context. The aim of the present research was to improve current knowledge that can be used to direct the prevention of youth-perpetrated sexual offending behaviour in Australia, including for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous youth, at two key stages of youths’ criminal careers: onset and persistence. To achieve this aim, the influence of contextual, or ecosystemic and situational, factors were examined: a) prior to the first (i.e., onset) sexual offence, b) upon detection of the onset sexual offence and in the assessment of future risk, and c) in longer-term patterns of rearrest, to provide new ways forward in understanding, responding to, and preventing youth-perpetrated sexual offending behaviour. The present research was guided by an overarching research question: How might contextual factors impact on our understanding of, and response to, the onset and persistence of youth-perpetrated sexual offending behaviour? Through a series of published journal articles, three sub-questions were used to address the overarching research question: (a) What are the specific circumstances that precipitate the onset of sexual offending behaviour for youth? (b) How useful is the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Protocol-II (J-SOAP-II) in capturing contextual factors to inform assessment for youth who sexually harm, including for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous youth? and (c) To what extent do individual and contextual factors influence longer-term patterns of rearrest for youth who sexually harm, including for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous youth?

Dialogos allows access to the Italian Railways timetable by using the telephone over the public network. The language modelling aspects of specificity and behaviour to rare events are studied. A technique for getting a language model more robust, based on sentences generated by grammars, is presented. Experimental results show the benefit of the proposed technique. The increment of performance between language models created using grammars and usual ones, is higher when the amount of training material is limited. Therefore this technique can give an advantage especially for the development of language models in a new domain.

description: Stochastic parameterizations are used in numerical weather prediction and climate modeling to help capture the uncertainty in the simulations and improve their statistical properties. Convergence issues can arise when time integration methods originally developed for deterministic differential equations are applied naively to stochastic problems. (Hodyss et al 2013, 2014) demonstrated that a correction term to various deterministic numerical schemes, known in stochastic analysis as the Itô correction, can help improve solution accuracy and ensure convergence to the physically relevant solution without substantial computational overhead. The usual formulation of the Itô correction is valid only when the stochasticity is represented by {\it white} noise. In this study, a generalized formulation of the Itô correction is derived for noises of any color. The formulation is applied to a test problem described by an advection-diffusion equation forced with a spectrum of fast processes. We present numerical results for cases with both constant and spatially varying advection velocities to show that, for the same time step sizes, the introduction of the generalized Itô correction helps to substantially reduce time integration error and significantly improve the convergence rate of the numerical solutions when the forcing term in the governing equation is rough (fast varying); alternatively, for the same target accuracy, the generalized Itô correction allows for the use of significantly longer time steps and hence helps to reduce the computational cost of the numerical simulation.

On the use of expectations for detecting and repairing human-machine miscommunication

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: In this paper I describe how miscommunication problems are dealt with in the spoken language system DIALOGOS. The dialogue module of the system exploits dialogic expectations in a twofold way: to model what future user utterance might be about (predictions), and to account how the user's next utterance may be related to previous ones in the ongoing interaction (pragmatic-based expectations). The analysis starts from the hypothesis that the occurrence of miscommunication is concomitant with two pragmatic phenomena: the deviation of the user from the expected behaviour and the generation of a conversational implicature. A preliminary evaluation of a large amount of interactions between subjects and DIALOGOS shows that the system performance is enhanced by the uses of both predictions and pragmatic-based expectations.

description: Using the draft genome sequence of Verrucosispora sp. FIM060022, we have identified a new desferrioxamine-like siderophore, FW0622. This is the first chemically characterized siderophore obtained from Verrucosispora. The structure was elucidated by extensive spectral analyses. The biosynthetic pathway of FW0622 was proposed to occur via the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-independent (NIS) synthetase pathway based on the putative biosynthetic siderophore gene cluster in FIM060022. The results demonstrate that marine-derived Verrucosispora species deserve recognition as an important source of new natural products. Furthermore, this study verified that genome mining is an effective way to identify compounds that may be overlooked by traditional methods.
Detecting 21 cm EoR Signal using Drift Scans: Correlation of Time-ordered Visibilities

description: We present a formalism to extract the EoR HI power spectrum for drift scans using radio interferometers. Our main aim is to determine the coherence time scale of time-ordered visibilities. We compute the two-point correlation function of the HI visibilities measured at different times to address this question. We determine, for a given baseline, the decorrelation of the amplitude and the phase of this complex function. Our analysis uses primary beams of four ongoing and future interferometers---PAPER, MWA, HERA, and SKA1-Low. We identify physical processes responsible for the decorrelation of the HI signal and isolate their impact by making suitable analytic approximations. The decorrelation time scale of the amplitude of the correlation function lies in the range of 2--20~minutes for baselines of interest for the extraction of the HI signal. The phase of the correlation function can be made small after scaling out an appropriate term, which also causes the coherence time scale of the phase to be longer than the amplitude of the correlation function. We find that our results are insensitive to the input HI power spectrum and therefore they are directly applicable to the analysis of the drift scan data. We also apply our formalism to a set of point sources and statistically homogeneous diffuse correlated foregrounds. We find that point sources decorrelate on a time scale much shorter than the HI signal. This provides a novel mechanism to partially mitigate the foregrounds in a drift scan.

Mechanisms Underlying Pheromone Gradient Tracking in Mating Yeast
Creators: name: Wang, Xin
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Chemotaxis and chemotropism play essential roles in a wide range of biological processes, during which cells interpret extracellular chemical gradients and orient their movement or growth. How cells translate the extracellular chemical gradients into intracellular signaling gradients and accurately orient their cytoskeletons remain unclear. The mating of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is the best-studied chemotropic process to date. Haploid yeast cells signal their positions to cells of the opposite mating type by secreting mating pheromones. Upon pheromone binding, the pheromone-responding G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activates its cognit Gα subunit, which releases the Gβγ subunit. Free Gβγ gets phosphorylated, signals to the nucleus through a MAP kinase cascade to arrest the cell cycle in G1. Gβγ also positions the polarity complex at the chemotropic growth site (CS). The polarity complex (PC) nucleates actin cables for polarized growth. When cells are treated with isotropic pheromone or pheromone-stimulated cells are unable to sense a gradient, they form mating projections at the default polarity site (DS) determined in G1. How do cells accurately decode the shallow pheromone gradients and orient their growth from the cell-cycle determined DS to the gradient-aligned CS? Numerous models have been proposed to explain yeast gradient sensing, but none of them fully explained how yeast cells overcome the challenges from the shallow and complicated pheromone gradients and the strong intrinsic DS.

Here we propose a deterministic gradient sensing model which answers these questions. We demonstrate that yeast cells accomplish gradient sensing in four phases. Following global internalization of the receptor and G protein (Phase I), mating cells use the DS to assemble a gradient tracking machine (GTM) composed of signaling, polarity, and trafficking proteins (Phase II). Within the GTM, differential activation of the receptor triggers feedback mechanisms that segregate vesicle delivery upgradient and endocytosis downgradient. The segregation of the trafficking machinery redistributes the GTM towards the pheromone source (Phase III, tracking). The GTM stabilizes (Phase IV) when the receptor peak and vesicle delivery align with the pheromone source and are surrounded by the negative GPCR signaling regulator and endocytosis. We also showed that tracking depends on actin-independent – but not actin-dependent – vesicle delivery, and that the DS must be inactivated for budding to allow tracking to start. Together, this model answers the questions of how yeast cells solve the environmental and intrinsic challenges and accurately position the CS. It also provides an additional function of the cell-cycle determined DS. Besides positioning the daughter cell emergence, the DS functions as a platform to assemble the GTM.
