description: A non-reciprocal device incorporating metamaterials which exhibit non-reciprocity through angular momentum biasing. The metamaterial, such as a ring resonator, is angular-momentum biased. This is achieved by applying a suitable mechanical or spatio-temporal modulation to resonant inclusions of the metamaterial, thereby producing strong non-reciprocity. In this manner, non-reciprocity can be produced without requiring the use of large and bulky magnets to produce a static magnetic field. The metamaterials of the present invention can be realized by semiconducting and/or metallic materials which are widely used in integrated circuit technology, and therefore, contrary to magneto-optical materials, can be easily integrated into the non-reciprocal devices and large microwave or optical systems. The metamaterials of the present invention can be compact at various frequencies due to the enhanced wave-matter interaction in the constituent resonant inclusions. Additionally, by using the metamaterials of the present invention, the power consumed in the biasing network is drastically reduced.

Differentiation of embryonic stem cells into neural lineages in an alginate encapsulation microenvironment
Creators: name: Li, Lulu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Cell replacement therapies, using renewable stem cell sources, hold tremendous potential to treat a wide range of degenerative diseases. Although many studies have established techniques to successfully differentiate stem cells into different mature cell lineages using growth factors or extracellular matrix protein supplementation in both two and three-dimensional configurations, their practicality is limited by lack of control, low yields of differentiated cells and oftentimes, heterogeneous cell population outcomes. In order to address these issues, we have previously established a murine embryonic stem cell alginate-poly-l-lysine microencapsulation differentiation system. The three-dimensional alginate microenvironment maintains cell viability, is conducive to ES cell differentiation to hepatocyte lineage cells, and sustains differentiated cellular function. In addition, hepatocyte function was contingent upon aggregate formation within the alginate microbeads. The present studies were designed to determine the feasibility of adapting the alginate encapsulation technique to neuronal lineage differentiation. The results of our studies indicate that by incorporating the soluble inducer, retinoic acid into the permeable microcapsule system, cell aggregation was decreased and neuronal lineage differentiation enhanced. In conjunction with the mechanical and physical characterization of the alginate crosslinking network, we have determined that 2.2% alginate microencapsulation can be optimally adapted to both hepatocyte and neuronal differentiation from embryonic stem cells. However, differentiation could be directed away from the hepatocyte and towards the neural lineage by lowering initial seeding density and physical cell-cell aggregation blocking, even in the absence of RA. This study promises to offer insights into targeting cellular differentiation towards both endodermal and ectodermal cell lineages, and could potentially be generalizable and adaptable to the differentiation of other stem cell types given the correct inducible factors and material properties.

Requirement for a core 1 galactosyltransferase in the Drosophila nervous system
Creators: name: Lin, Yuh-Ru
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Glycosylation is important in a lot of fundamental biological processes, including cell recognition, cell adhesion, and cell signaling. Mucin-type O-glycosylation involves the synthesis of glycoproteins, expressed in mucous secretions and as transmembrane proteins on the cell surfaces. However, the biological functions of mucin-type O-glycans remain incompletely understood. I have pursued genetic and biochemical studies to understand their importance during development in Drosophila. Mucin-type O-glycosylation is initiated by the attachment of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to Ser or Thr residues, and then elongated by additional sugars. To examine the requirements for mucin-type glycosylation in Drosophila, I characterized the expression and phenotypes of core 1 galactosyltransferases (core 1 GalTs), which elongate O-GalNAc by adding galactose in a β1, 3 linkage. Among Drosophila core 1 GalTs, CG9520 (C1GalTA) is expressed in the amnioserosa and central nervous system. A null mutation in C1GalTA is lethal. The mutant animals show a morphogenetic defect in their central nervous system in which the ventral nerve cord is greatly elongated and the brain hemispheres are distorted. Lectin staining and blotting experiments confirmed that C1GalTA is required for the synthesis of Gal-ß1,3-GalNAc in vivo. Our observations establish a role for mucin-type O-glycosylation during neural development in Drosophila.Overexpression of C1GalTA causes a wing blistering phenotype, which occurs when adhesion between the two ventral and dorsal surfaces of the wing blade is lost, and is also commonly seen in integrin mutants. This result implicates mucin-type O-glycans in cell adhesion in the Drosophila wing blade.Altogether, these results suggest a role of mucin-type O-glycosylation in Drosophila development, including the morphogenesis of central nervous system and the formation of the wing blade.
Community and contention in early modern England

description: Comparative analysis of the impact of religion on liberal political development is hampered by the presumption of secularization in canonical works of historical institutionalism. The prevailing arguments about the origins of liberal political institutions either omit religion completely as a significant factor in political and social life, or presume unique compatibility between Protestant Christianity and liberal democracy. This project challenges both the assumption of secular modernity and Christian exceptionalism as preconditions of liberal political development by examining the debates about religious toleration in early modern England. The toleration debates provide a record of the ideas generated in response to state expansion, and demonstrate the critical role of religion in establishing the modern state as the primary frame of political power. They further illustrate the importance of religious narratives in justifying liberal political principles such as popular sovereignty and accountable government, as well as the fundamental rights to freedom of speech, the press, association and conscience.Drawing upon original readings of pamphlets, newspapers and political tracts from the seventeenth century, I argue that religion promoted political transformation in early modern England not because of the specifics of doctrine or decline in its relevance to social and political life, but because it was the locus of individual experience of state power. The monarchy radically extended its scope and capacity by appropriating the institutional and symbolic resources of the church. It used the church to promote institutional and cultural regularity across the realm. The common experience of civil power through state regulation of religious practice led to the development of a collective interest in securing the right to religious worship that extended across class and regional divisions. The Protestant political identity cultivated by the monarchy in its campaign for religious uniformity created cultural opportunities for political resistance to the state’s encroachment upon communal and individual autonomy. Competing interpretations of the meaning and requirements of this Protestant identity for individuals on one hand, and the requisites of political order and stability on the other, led to a public reconceptualization of the role of government and the rights and responsibilities of political membership.

Geochemistry of Southeastern Nicaragua lavas and mantle xenoliths from Cerro Mercedes, Costa Rica
Creators: name: Lindsay, Fara N.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Lavas from southeastern Nicaragua were geochemically analyzed, including several from a volcano never before sampled, in order to better understand the relationship between the chemistry of the lavas and the physical parameters of the Central American arc, which include depth to the slab, distance from the trench, slab dip and the age of the downgoing slab. The analyses were done by x-ray fluorescence, by high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and by thermal ionization mass spectrometry. The results show that the abundance of high-field strength elements in the lavas is particularly influenced by the depth to the slab underlying a volcano and the distance of the volcano from the trench. Additionally, the results show that decompression melting is an important process in the generation of these lavas.The chemistry of mantle xenoliths from Cerro Mercedes, Costa Rica, were studied to elucidate the compositional and physical state of the mantle wedge underlying Central American. The composition of the mantle wedge is clarified through analyses of the whole rock; information about the physical state of the mantle is obtained from analyses of the minerals that constitute the xenoliths. The analytical methods used for the whole rock chemistry were x-ray fluorescence and high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Electron probe microscopy and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy were used to analyze the minerals. Results show that the mantle wedge composition is predominantly peridotite (~65% modal olivine) that has experienced variable degrees of modification by melt- and fluid- rock reactions, with pockets of cumulate pyroxenite. Although the majority of the peridotites are multi-phase residues, one sample, CM52, may be a first-stage residue. The xenoliths are spinel facies rocks, which correspond to pressures between 1 – 2.5 GPa, and have equilibrium temperatures ranging from 860°C – 1030°C at 1 GPa, which place them between 30km and 85km within the mantle. The potential temperature of the system, based on whole rock major oxide modeling, is 1580°C. Estimated values for the oxidation state of the mantle range from ΔƒO2FMQ +0.9 - ΔƒO2FMQ +3.25 for the peridotites and up to ΔƒO2FMQ +4.05 for the pyroxenites.
Application of laser-based diagnostics for nanomaterials synthesis

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Spectroscopic laser-based diagnostics are applied in the gas-phase synthesis of nanostructrued materials to make non-intrusive, in-situ, spatially-precise measurements of gas-phase temperatures and relevant chemical species.  For the nanomaterials themselves, a novel application of Raman spectroscopy is developed to characterize nanoparticles in-situ, during flame and plasma synthesis.  As result, the local conditions for gas-phase synthesis can be determined for a given nanomaterial property, so that fundamental mechanisms can be revealed and process conditions can be optimized. The synthesis configurations investigated in this work are (i) the inverse co-flow diffusion flame (IDF), (ii) the counter-flow diffusion flame (CDF), (iii) the low-pressure burner-stabilized premixed stagnation-point flame, and (iv) the inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) impinging on a cold substrate.Spontaneous Raman spectroscopy (SRS) is used to measure local gas-phase conditions in the 2-D axi-symmetric IDF and the quasi 1-D CDF, where nanomaterials are grown on inserted substrates of various compositions.  Nitrogen-diluted methane-air flames are examined.  Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown catalytically on metal-alloy substrates, and their morphologies are correlated with the local gas-phase temperature and the concentrations of carbon-based precursor species (e.g. C2H2, CO).  Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are grown directly on zinc-plated steel substrates, and their morphologies are correlated with the local gas-phase temperature and the concentrations of oxidative (e.g. O2, H2O, and CO2) and reducing (e.g. H2) species.  Computational simulations in 1-D, involving detailed chemical kinetics and transport properties, and in 2-D, using simplified kinetics and transport, are used to validate and improve the measurements.Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is employed to measure the gas-phase temperature profile and OH radical species concentration distribution in a low-pressure, premixed, nitrogen-diluted hydrogen-oxygen, burner-stabilized, stagnation-point flame.  Titania nanoparticles are synthesized using a metalorganic precursor.  The LIF measurements are compared with computational simulations with detailed chemical kinetics and transport, to affirm the quasi 1-D flow field, as well as to investigate the effects of precursor addition and uniform electric-field application.SRS is utilized to characterize in-situ the composition and crystallinity of nanoparticles, in aerosol form, produced in the aforementioned low-pressure premixed flame and in the ICP synthesis setup.  The Stokes spectra are identified for crystalline phases of TiO2 (and Al2O3 in a different flame setup) and c-BN based on ex-situ-taken spectra from the literature.  The in-situ technique is able to delineate the phase conversion of nanoparticles (including amorphous to crystalline) as they evolve in the flow field.

description: The online information retrieval process is an experience that is influenced by and results in changes of the emotional states of the user. A logical extension in the development of information retrieval systems is an inclusion of emotional components with the aim of optimizing user experience. In order to develop systems capable of recognizing and intelligently responding to human emotions, it is necessary to develop a framework for measuring and analyzing user emotional experiences. We conducted a study that investigated patterns of emotional expressions around specific search events and examined the role of mood the online information retrieval session. The study discovered unique patterns of emotional expressions associated with the decision-making points of online search. The study also identified mood variations and their relationships to the search process and outcomes. In addition to improving our understanding of emotional aspects of information retrieval, the study tested instruments for measuring emotional expressions and mood that can subsequently be incorporated in the system design and testing process.

description: A communication system that reduces the mutual influence of antennas operating in similar or different frequency bands. The communication system includes a first and a second antenna operating in a first and a second frequency band, respectively, and placed in close proximity to each other. The first antenna is covered by a conformal mantle metasurface with anti-phase scattering properties thereby cancelling the scattering in the second frequency band. The conformal mantle metasurface consists of a patterned metallic sheet comprising slits both in an azimuthal and a vertical direction to reduce both vertical and horizontal polarization scattering. When the first antenna is a low-band dipole antenna and when the second antenna is a high-band dipole antenna, the conformal mantle metasurface reduces the low-band blockage without disrupting the performance of both antennas in terms of radiation pattern and impedance matching.

description: A method for producing fractures in a formation to release hydrocarbons (such as a hydrocarbon gas or liquid) from the formation is disclosed. The method comprises reducing the in-situ temperature at a location in a formation having a first temperature by contacting the location with a first fluid and contacting the location with a fracturing fluid to produce fractures in the formation while the location is at a second temperature below the first temperature to release hydrocarbons from the formation. The method can include using an endothermic process to reduce the temperature at the location in the formation.
Evolution, diversity, and biogeography in pelagic calcifying protists
Creators: name: Liu, Hui

description: For the last ~200 million years, two groups of unicellular eukaryotes have dominated the biomineralization of carbonate in the oceanic plankton: heterotrophic foraminifera and autotrophic coccolithophores. They literally transformed the fate of inorganic and organic carbon in the Earth’s biogeochemical system. The study of the evolution and biodiversity of these marine microcalcifiers has a long and venerable history, largely based on geological records and morphological characters. However, obtaining an accurate estimate of their biodiversity and understanding their evolution using only morphology and fossils is difficult due to issues such as dissolution, convergent morphology, and, for coccolithophores, the complicated haplo-diploid life cycle. Recent advances in molecular biology have further challenged the classic morphological studies by highlighting two additional problems: the unknown diversity of poor and non-calcifying forms in the global ocean and the widespread presence of cryptic species. The goal of this thesis was to reassess the evolutionary and ecological complexity of pelagic microcalcifiers at different taxonomic scales using molecular data constrained by morphological, ecological, and biogeographic metadata. I resolved the mode and tempo of the diversification of the haptophytes using an extensive multigene analysis and interpreted the timing of four key transitions in the evolution of the haptophytes in an ecological and geological context. I used Haptophyta-specific primers and PCR conditions adapted for GC-rich genomes to circumvent the biases inherent in classical genetic approaches. I discovered for the first time that the tiny (<3 µm) unicellular eukaryotes belonging to the haptophyte lineage are dramatically diverse in the planktonic photic realm, where they appear to dominate photosynthesis. I also developed a combined morphological-genetic approach to survey the environmental diversity of coccolithophores and evaluated the diversity level at which phylospecies and morphospecies can be considered equivalent concepts. Finally, I used the Neogloboquadrinids, a family of non-spinose planktonic foraminifera, as a model to assess cryptic speciation and global biogeography in the pelagic microcalcifiers.
Essays on behavioral finance and market microstructure
Creators: name: Lu, Jie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation is comprised of three essays that study behavioral finance and market microstructure.The first essay models a game of individual day traders' interactions in a stock trading chat room and empirically tests the model's conclusions. Trading behaviors are analyzed in an Internet chat room with free entry but secure identity, and traders' interactions are modeled as a dynamic game with informed traders, momentum traders, arbitragers and noise traders. Three empirical predictions are generated in the model's equilibrium. The unique data set consists of stock trading chat room posts of more than 1,000 individual semi-professional day traders and their interactions and transactions are investigated in a time series. All the three predictions from the model's equilibrium are affirmed by empirical tests.The second essay assesses the effects of the entire limit order book and analyzes the market impacts of the quotes in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China, where the stock market has a pure order-driven trading mechanism without market makers. Firstly, in the empirical modeling the limit order books, the structural vector autoregressive model of Hasbrouck (1991) is used and extended to incorporate more information beyond the inside quotes. Secondly, the market impact of stocks is also analyzed cross sectionally with market capitalization, tick frequency, turnover, average price, etc. Finally, the market impacts and order imbalance of small trades are distinguished. Small trades, usually linked with individual investors, have proportionally small market impact. Besides, the volume-weighted daily order imbalances of small trades and next-day's and contemporaneous daily returns are negatively related with each other. This is in accordance with the 'pain theory' of the individual traders.The third essay investigates microstructure characteristics of the Credit Default Swap (CDS) market. During the sample period, April 2006 -- March 2008, CDS are traded on the over-the-counter (OTC) market, through brokers' voice-based or electronic-based systems. The study analyzes CDS spread, trade-to-quote ratio, bid-ask spread, the frequency that the orders fall between the quotes, and the relationship between the order imbalance and the daily change of CDS spread.

Abstract

As the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis continues to increase, so does the pressure to find suitable treatment options - and with it the need to decipher the physiologic underpinnings of these pathologies. This includes the metabolite clearance and immune surveillance functions of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as well as immune privilege established by the brain barriers, which are disturbed during neuroinflammation. In this project, we will investigate how CSF dynamics and brain barriers change with age, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. There is currently no consensus on the production mechanisms, exit locations, driving forces, and flow routes of central nervous system (CNS) fluids. To comprehend CNS diseases with CSF involvement, we must thus first establish the fundamental physiologic mechanisms of CSF dynamics. To this end, we will combine in vivo synchrotron radiation-based micro computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, near-infrared and two-photon fluorescence imaging of CSF pathways and CNS barriers in recently developed reporter mice. We will employ computational modeling to consolidate the acquired data. Our aims are to 1) establish a comprehensive overview of the physiologic basis of CSF dynamics, associated transport processes, and corresponding CNS barriers in mouse models, 2) analyze changes due to aging, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration, and 3) provide to the scientific community unrestricted access to hardware designs, experimental protocols, software, and data. Our work will not only contribute to the understanding of the involvement of CNS fluids and barriers in establishing CNS homeostasis and immune privilege, but also in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative pathologies including multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. It will further serve as a stepping stone for the scientific community towards the identification of targets for drugs as well as non-pharmacological interventions.
Variance-based clustering methods and higher order data transformations and their applications
Creators: name: Lytkin, Nikita I.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Two approaches have been proposed in statistical and machine learning communities in order to address the problem of uncovering clusters with complex structure. One approach relies on the development of clustering criteria that are able to accommodate increasingly complex characteristics of the data. The other approach is based on simplification of structure of data by mapping it to a different feature space via a non-linear function and then clustering in the new space.This dissertation covers three related studies: development of a novel multi-dimensional clustering method, development of non-linear mapping functions that leverage higher-order co-occurrences between features in boolean data, and applications of these mapping functions for improving the performance of clustering methods. In particular, we treat clustering as a combinatorial optimization problem of finding a partition of the data so as to minimize a certain criterion. We develop a novel multi-dimensional clustering method based on a statistically-motivated criterion proposed by J. Neyman for stratified sampling from one-dimensional data. We show that this criterion is more reflective of the underlying data structure than the seemingly similar K-means criterion when second order variability is not homogeneous between constituent subgroups. Furthermore, experimental results demonstrate that generalization of the Neyman's criterion to multi-dimensional spaces and development of the associated clustering algorithm allow for statistically efficient estimation of the grand mean vector of a population.In the framework of the mapping-based approach to discovering complex cluster structures, we introduced a novel adaptive non-linear data transformation termed Unsupervised Second Order Transformation (USOT). The novelties behind USOT are (a) that it leverages in a unsupervised manner, higher-order co-occurrences between features in boolean data, and (b) that it considers each feature in the context of probabilistic relationships with other features. In addition, USOT has two desirable properties. USOT adaptively selects features that would influence the mapping of a given feature, and preserves the interpretability of dimensions of the transformed space. Experimental results on text corpora and financial time series demonstrate that by leveraging higher-order co-occurrences between features, clustering methods achieved statistically significant improvements in USOT space over the original boolean space.

Statistical methods for gene selection using differential gene expression and building gene co-expression networks
Creators: name: Luo, Zhaoyu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This thesis investigates three most challenging statistical problems that relate to three important stages of the pipeline of DNA microarray data analysis which are identification of differentially expressed genes, determination of sample size based on specified power, desired fold change and given error rate, and construction of gene co-expression network. At the center of these methods is a new version of the Stochastic Approximation methodology that works for distribution functions. The method is applied to estimation problems in the conditional-t procedure(Amaratunga and Cabrera (2003)) and in the estimation of the covariance matrix. The new covariance estimates are applied to the estimation of gene co-expression network (Zhang and Hovarth(2005)). In both cases the new method results in substantial improvement in performance. This is shown in several simulations that are presented throughout the thesis. In addition we show examples from real applications to illustrate the main results.
Stars and Shadows: Magic and Identity in Contemporary Australian Middle-Grade Fantasy Fiction

Publisher: name: University of Southern Queensland
Year: 2024
Subjects: Australian children's fantasy

subjectivity

description: Australian fantasy literature for eight-to-twelve-year-olds is deeply rooted in cultural discourse and, I argue, uses the trope of magic to explore the nuances of contemporary subjectivity. This dissertation provides a textual and thematic analysis of 17 works of contemporary fantasy fiction written by Australian authors. In doing so, the thesis interrogates how magic is used to question patriarchal norms and social conventions governing identity, critiquing binary expectations of selfhood and ways of being. The feminist philosophy of Hélène Cixous is the primary theory through which possibilities of selfhood are explored, supported by Jacques Derrida’s work on deconstruction and Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic linguistics. Close reading and comparative literary analysis are the main research methods, allowing for rich subjective interpretation that explores a multiplicity of meanings. Each chapter centres a theme that influences subjectivity and explores its intersection with magic: witches and gender, belonging in sentient spaces, visibility and embodiment, fate, and radical Otherness. Subjectivity is revealed to be complex, with the potential for multiple and even conflicting selves in liminal spaces, held loosely and with conviction by protagonists. Cixous’s position of unknowing and undecidability is revealed to be particularly pertinent for expressions of contemporary ways of being. This dissertation contributes knowledge about expansive subjectivity in an age of identity politics. The discussion of the creation of liminal spaces through which to explore selfhood is particularly relevant for cultural and literary discourse, able to be applied to a multitude of contemporary situations, literature, and classrooms.
