description: Advances in fluorescence microscopy enable acquisition of 3D image volumes with better image quality and deeper penetration into tissue. Segmentation is a required step to characterize and analyze biological structures in the images and recent 3D segmentation using deep learning has achieved promising results. One issue is that deep learning techniques require a large set of groundtruth data which is impractical to annotate manually for large 3D microscopy volumes. This paper describes a 3D deep learning nuclei segmentation method using synthetic 3D volumes for training. A set of synthetic volumes and the corresponding groundtruth are generated using spatially constrained cycle-consistent adversarial networks. Segmentation results demonstrate that our proposed method is capable of segmenting nuclei successfully for various data sets.

description: Some pulsars have their maximum observable energy output in the gamma-ray band, offering the possibility of using these high-energy photons as probes of the particle acceleration and interaction processes in pulsar magnetospheres. After an extended hiatus between satellite missions, the recently-launched AGILE mission and the upcoming Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Large Area Telescope (LAT) will allow gamma-ray tests of the theoretical models developed based on past discoveries. With its greatly improved sensitivity, better angular resolution, and larger energy reach than older instruments, GLAST LAT should detect dozens to hundreds of new gamma-ray pulsars and measure luminosities, light curves, and phase-resolved spectra with unprecedented resolution. It will also have the potential to find radio-quiet pulsars like Geminga, using blind search techniques. Cooperation with radio and X-ray pulsar astronomers is an important aspect of the LAT team's planning for pulsar studies.

description: This research focuses on various molecular aspects of the dopamine transporter (DAT): In the third chapter Zn modulates dopamine (DA) transport by the human DAT (hDAT) but not the rat DAT (rDAT) expressed in human embryonic kidney cells. Zn ? reduced and increased the inhibition by cocaine in hDAT and rDAT, respectively. Zn ? and cocaine were not competitive with each other. Zn ? increased the second order binding rate constant for DA to the DAT for hDAT and rDAT. In striatal homogenates Zn ? increased dopamine transport velocity and decreased cocaine inhibition providing evidence for differences in sensitivity to Zn ? between the different preparations and also between the hDAT and rDAT.; In the fourth and fifth chapters, DAT was investigated in animals sensitized to either methamphetamine (METH) or cocaine. Effects induced by a sensitizing dose of METH on behavior, dopamine (DA) transport by the DAT, DAT density, and inhibition of DAT by METH in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and striatum (Str) were investigated. Changes in glycosylation of the DAT after METH sensitization were examined. Sensitization caused increased stereotypic responses in rats. Animals treated with METH, had lower and higher DAT activity in the NAcc and Str, respectively. Western blots demonstrated that DAT density was unchanged in the NAcc of METHtreated animals, but striatal DAT density decreased. The IC50 of METH increased in the NAcc and decreased in the Str. Studies using glycosidase treatments and western blots revealed that glycosylation was not affected by METH exposure. Studies examining cocaine sensitization 24 hours post treatment found that dopamine transport was decreased in the NAcc, but increased in the Str, persisting for 3 weeks after treatment. DAT density remained unchanged in both areas 24 hours post treatment, but decreased in the NAcc at 3 weeks. DAT was kinetically up-regulated in the NAcc at 3 weeks post treatment, thus the NAcc and Str may have different, but longterm alterations following treatment with cocaine.

description: The Fourth International Workshop on Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented Systems (MESOA 2010), organized by members of the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's technical staff, was held at the 26th International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM 2010) in Timisoara, Romania, on September 17, 2010. The goal for MESOA 2010 was to share current research efforts and discuss emerging technologies in the maintenance and evolution of service-oriented systems. A second goal of the workshop was to identify areas of future work needed to address existing gaps and problems in the taxonomy of research topics in service-oriented architecture (SOA). This report summarizes the workshop and includes the accepted papers that were the basis for the presentations given during the workshop. Topics include using simulation models to evolve business processes, a requirements-driven framework for root cause analysis in SOA environments, SOA integration as an alternative to source migration, proactive adaptation as illustrated by the S-Cube service life cycle, a dynamic framework for quality web-service discovery, a characterization of policies that govern SOAs, and context-driven adaptive monitoring for supporting SOA governance. The report concludes with highlights from the discussions among workshop attendees.
Evaluating simple transpiration-based models of crop productivity
Creators: name: Kremer, Cristian
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2006
Subjects: Crop Science

description: There is a renewed interest in evaluating crop productivity using simple transpiration–based models of biomass accumulation. Transpiration–use efficiency (w), defined as the ratio of biomass (B) produced per unit water transpired (T), has been widely used to evaluate crop performance under limited water supply. Simple approaches to asses w have been used including: 1) = Dkw aDa and 2) = ETo TEkw o ; where Da k and ETo k are crop-dependent parameters. The concept is that normalization by Da or ETo would account for the effects of climate variations on w, while Da k or ETo k would be reasonably constant across diverse environments. However, the evaluation of the transferability of these parameters is not simple due to the scarcity of experimental values and the lack of consistency of the methodology used in the available experiments. For this reason we have developed and tested a canopy transpiration and photosynthesis model (CTP) to obtain simulated values of w, Da k and ETo k in different locations with a consistent methodology. Model simulations were compared with evapotranspiration estimated with weighing lysimeters for non stressed wheat and maize. Results showed good agreement between observed and simulated transpiration values for both crops, with the simulated values tracking well the daily fluctuations of the observed values. Daily values of simulated transpiration–use efficiency (w) were compared with observed values from literature and showed that the average and standard deviation of the simulated values were within the range of the observed data. The model was then used to evaluate the transferability of Da k and ETo k values for wheat and maize across eight world locations with contrasting climate. The results indicated that Da k and ETo k (maize) are not constant parameters; suggesting that calibration in contrasting climates would be desirable. However, a consistent trend of change of the values of these parameters as a function of Da or ETo was found, which can be represented by mathematical functions, allowing the possibility of transferring Da k and ETo k values across climatic conditions. Verification of these equations with field data was performed. The simulation–based equations to estimate w and Da k of wheat and maize, and ETo k of maize appeared to be robust estimators of observed values, while ETo k of wheat was better represented by a single value across climatic conditions.

Design and Implementation of an Electricity System Optimization Model for Remote Communities in Canada
Creators: name: Sargent, Leanne
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: This study presents an energy system optimization model based on linear programming techniques to predict least-cost electricity generating systems for five remote communities in Quebec, Canada. The model integrates hourly electricity demand data, hourly wind speed data, and hourly solar power generation data, and considers relevant costs, to identify the optimal combination of generating technologies capable of meeting the communities' electricity demand throughout the year. To account for environmental considerations, the model was subject to two separate constraints. First, a carbon tax on carbon emissions from the system was incrementally increased. Second, carbon emissions were gradually constrained, ultimately reducing to zero allowed emissions. The results suggest that even in the absence of either aforementioned constraint, the least-cost system already incorporates wind power in conjunction with existing diesel generation, and a system with zero carbon emissions is less expensive still than a system fully reliant on diesel. Further, the results suggest that a carbon emissions constraint is a more impactful policy option to incent carbon emissions reductions than a carbon tax for the five communities studied, as the carbon tax increased system price while providing insignificant carbon emissions reductions.

A game theoretic approach to understanding ethical conformity in marketing
Creators: name: Martin, Kelly Duggan
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Social Conformity

description: This dissertation extends marketing thought by addressing pressing ethical and strategic issues affecting theory and practice. Specifically, to what extent and under what conditions should firms incorporate a focus on ethics in their marketing strategies and initiatives? I investigate conditions surrounding these strategic marketing considerations with three essays including a mathematical model and two empirical investigations using game theory. The game theoretical model buttressed by the empirical results provide substantive conclusions for marketing ethics at the firm level that traditional limitations in data collection, to date, have precluded. Focal firms and marketing managers must address the question of to what extent they will focus on ethics in their product offerings and marketing strategies. To further complicate this question, focal firms and managers must also consider the ethical behavior of upstream suppliers and other interfirm partners in such decisions. To probe these research questions, I draw from strategic marketing, economics, and sociological theory. Institutional theory informs on the nature and variety of normative challenges that press upon firms requiring some form of ethical response. I propose the concept of conformity to describe how firms deploy marketing strategies and practices to address social and stakeholder norms. I derive from deviance theory to discuss ethical overconformity, or the exceeding of norms and expectations by firms in their marketing strategies and practices. The theoretical advancement of positive deviance, augmenting traditional negative deviance perspectives, allows a richer conceptualization of firm ethical conformity. Finally, questions of interfirm partner ethical behavior are cast in an agency theoretical perspective to illuminate the relevant information asymmetries involved. The research questions unfold in three distinct manuscripts. In Paper One, I adopt a game theoretic approach and describe the mathematical models that shape ethical overconformity. Paper Two advances and experimentally tests the theoretical premises derived from the first manuscript. Paper Three employs experimental economics for a more fine-grained understanding of managerial information states relevant to leveraging ethics for strategic advantage, given the behavior of an upstream supplier. Ultimately, the conclusions from each of the three papers contribute to marketing theory and practice, while illuminate promising future research.

description: We consider the entanglement dynamics between two-level atoms in a rotating black hole background. In our model the two-atom system is envisaged as an open system coupled with a massless scalar field prepared in one of the physical vacuum states of interest. We employ the quantum master equation in the Born-Markov approximation in order to describe the time evolution of the atomic subsystem. We investigate two different states of motion for the atoms, namely static atoms and also stationary atoms with zero angular momentum. The purpose of this work is to expound the impact on the creation of entanglement coming from the combined action of the different physical processes underlying the Hawking effect and the Unruh-Starobinskii effect. We demonstrate that, in the scenario of rotating black holes, the degree of quantum entanglement is significantly modified due to the phenomenon of superradiance in comparison with the analogous cases in a Schwarzschild spacetime. In the perspective of a zero angular momentum observer (ZAMO), one is allowed to probe entanglement dynamics inside the ergosphere, since static observers cannot exist within such a region. On the other hand, the presence of superradiant modes could be a source for violation of complete positivity. This is verified when the quantum field is prepared in the Frolov-Thorne vacuum state. In this exceptional situation, we raise the possibility that the loss of complete positivity is due to the breakdown of the Markovian approximation, which means that any arbitrary physically admissible initial state of the two atoms would not be capable to hold, with time evolution, its interpretation as a physical state inasmuch as negative probabilities are generated by the dynamical map.

description: We study the mechanisms of photodegradation and self-healing of 1-amino-2- methylanthraquinone (Disperse Orange 11) in solid poly(methyl methacrylate) under 532nm Nd:YAG laser excitation as measured by amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). We used photochromism in conjuction with ASE dynamical studies to gain an understanding of the character of species formed during photodegradation. Based on our experiments, we propose the mechanism of dimer formation from dipole coupled tautomers and summarize our results with an energy level diagram that is consistent with the full set of measurements. We use a simple population dynamics model to explain the proposed mechanism. As expected from our proposed mechanisms we find an intensity-dependent photodegradation rate and a constant recovery rate. This understanding can be used to design materials for devices that are more robust against the common problem of photodegradation.

description: We study the effect of anisotropic escape mechanism on elliptic flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We use Glauber model to generate initial conditions and ignore hydrodynamic expansion in the transverse direction. We employ Beer-Lambert law to allow for the transmittance of produced hadrons in the medium and calculate the anisotropy generated due to the suppression of particles traversing through the medium. In order to separate non-flow contribution due to surface bias effects, we ignore hydrodynamic expansion in the transverse direction and consider purely longitudinal boost-invariant expansion. We calculate the transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow, generated from anisotropic escape mechanism due to surface bias effects, for various centralities in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV Au$+$Au collisions at RHIC and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV Pb$+$Pb collisions at LHC. We find that the surface bias effects have a sizable contribution to the total elliptic flow observed in heavy-ion collisions indicating that the viscosity of the QCD matter extracted from hydrodynamic simulations may be underestimated.

description: Different computational methods are employed to evaluate elastic (rotationally summed) integral and differential cross sections for low energy (below about 10 eV) positron scattering off gas-phase C$_2$H$_2$ molecules. The computations are carried out at the static and static-plus-polarization levels for describing the interaction forces and the correlation-polarization contributions are found to be an essential component for the correct description of low-energy cross section behavior. The local model potentials derived from density functional theory (DFT) and from the distributed positron model (DPM) are found to produce very high-quality agreement with existing measurements. On the other hand, the less satisfactory agreement between the R-matrix (RM) results and measured data shows the effects of the slow convergence rate of configuration-interaction (CI) expansion methods with respect to the size of the CI-expansion. To contrast the positron scattering findings, results for electron-C$_2$H$_2$ integral and differential cross sections, calculated with both a DFT model potential and the R-matrix method, are compared and analysed around the shape resonance energy region and found to produce better internal agreement.

Subjects: Biomedical materials -- Electric properties

description: Dielectric heating of biomaterials was investigated from the physical, chemical, and electrical properties perspectives. Primary focus was on the electrical properties, especially dielectric properties. The dielectric constant (ε’) and loss factor (ε”) were studied at the molecular level of the materials’ composition; primarily water, carbohydrates, and proteins. Effects of components were investigated individually and in combination in aqueous media. Measurements were conducted using an open-ended coaxial probe connected to an impedance analyzer. Properties of food carbohydrates (starch, sucrose, glucose, and fructose) were investigated over the frequency range 10–1800 MHz at 20–60 oC, and to 100 oC for starch solutions. The influences of electrical field frequency (f), temperature (T), and concentration (C) on the dielectric constant and loss factor were thoroughly examined and theoretically interpreted. The dielectric constant’s response to frequency was fairly independent from 10 to 1000 MHz, but began a significant and progressive decline at frequencies beyond 1000 MHz. Influences of protein solutions (ovalbumin, bovine serum albumin, β-lactoglobulin, and lysozyme) were investigated in aqueous media at 450 selected frequencies between 5 MHz and 1800 MHz. All examined proteins exhibited similar dielectric dispersions for the selected concentrations (i.e., 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/g) and results agreed fairly well with previously published data. Delta-dispersions (δs) between β and γ-dispersions for protein solutions were observed, although at higher relaxation frequencies than those previously published. Contribution of individual proteins to the dielectric loss, and consequently thermal generation in dielectrically heated biomaterials, was investigated and found to have greater effect at low frequencies, especially at 27 MHz. Theoretical calculation of the local dielectric constant (ε’) of individual proteins from their amino acid composition resulted in a mean value of 2.70. A derived mixture equation provided results that agreed with experimental data at frequencies close to the industrial microwave frequency (915 MHz). Dielectric measurements of protein-sugar aqueous mixtures were also conducted in the 10–1800 MHz frequency range. Rayleigh, Böttcher, and Berentsveig mixture models were utilized to predict the mixtures’ dielectric constants. Calculated values agreed with the experimental data, except for the three-component mixture result obtained using the Rayleigh model.

description: In this paper, we investigate the hydrodynamic collectivity in proton--proton (pp) collisions at 13 TeV, using iEBE-VISHNU hybrid model with HIJING initial conditions. With properly tuned parameters, our model simulations can remarkably describe all the measured 2-particle correlations, including integrated and differential elliptic flow coefficients for all charged and identified hadrons ($K_S^0$, $Λ$). However, our model calculations show positive 4-particle cumulant $c_{2}\{4\}$ in high multiplicity pp collisions, and can not reproduce the negative $c_{2}\{4\}$ measured in experiment. Further investigations on the HIJING initial conditions show that the fluctuations of the second order anisotropy coefficient $\varepsilon_{2}$ increases with the increase of its mean value, which leads to a similar trend of the flow fluctuations. For a simultaneous description of the 2- and 4- particle cumulants within the hydrodynamic framework, it is required to have significant improvements on initial condition for pp collisions, which is still lacking of knowledge at the moment.

description: This paper uses 2006 Canadian census data to examine patterns of wage differentials between immigrants and Canadian natives across the public and private sectors. Results reveal that the wage gap is much more a private sector issue than a public sector issue: the average wage gap is in favour of Canadian natives in the private sector but in favour of immigrants in the public sector; compared to natives, immigrants earn significantly less per year of domestic schooling and per year of domestic work experience in the private sector than in the public sector; foreign schooling and foreign work experience are less rewarded in the private sector than in the public sector; and, immigrants from non-traditional source countries are more at a disadvantage in the private sector than in the public sector. / Cet article utilise les données du recensement canadien de 2006 pour examiner les écarts de salaires entre les immigrants et les canadiens de naissance dans les secteurs public et privé. L’analyse suggère que l'écart salarial est beaucoup plus prononcé dans le secteur privé que dans le secteur public: l'écart de salaire moyen est en faveur des canadiens de naissance dans le secteur privé, mais en faveur des immigrants dans le secteur public ; par rapport aux canadiens de naissance, les années de scolarité et les années d’expérience de travail sont moins bien rémunérées dans le secteur privé que dans le secteur public (que ces années aient été acquises au Canada ou à l’étranger); et, les immigrants venant de pays non traditionnels ont des salaires relativement moins élevés dans le secteur privé que dans le secteur public.

description: El acuerdo de paz colombiano, el cual busca ponerle fin al conflicto armado no internacional (CANI) más largo del hemisferio occidental, ofrece un escenario ideal para examinar los marcos conceptuales y las dificultades prácticas relacionadas con la aplicabilidad del Derecho Internacional Humanitario (DIH) a CANI, en el contexto de transiciones políticas. Este artículo persigue un objetivo doble: por un lado, rastrear la inclusión del DIH en Colombia como una herramienta para humanizar la guerra y conseguir la paz, especialmente durante el proceso de La Habana, así como su distribución e integración en el acuerdo de paz de 2016; y, por otro lado, analizar el estado actual de la implementación de dichas disposiciones del DIH y los desafíos de su aplicación e interpretación, así como las formas novedosas de cumplimiento que fueron previstas en el acuerdo. Concluimos con una discusión sobre la manera en que los asuntos prácticos de la implementación y las intenciones de las partes interesadas cuestionan las conceptualizaciones teóricas existentes sobre la salida negociada de conflictos internos a través de acuerdos de paz y los límites difusos de la aplicación de los estándares internacionales humanitarios en CANI.
description: The Colombian peace process, which is aimed at ending the Western hemisphere's longest-running non-international armed conflict (NIAC), provides an ideal backdrop for examining the conceptual frameworks and practical difficulties relating to the applicability of international humanitarian law (IHL) to NIACs amid political transitions. This article pursues a twofold objective: on the one hand, to trace entrance of IHL into Colombia as a tool to humanize war and achieve peace, especially during the Havana process, as well as its distribution and integration into the 2016 peace agreement; and, on the other hand, to analyze the current state of implementation of IHL stipulations, as well as challenges to their application and novel constructions of compliance built into the accord. We close with a discussion of how the practicalities of implementation and stakeholder intentions scrutinize existing theoretical conceptualizations of how internal conflicts end through peace agreements and the vanishing point of the application of international humanitarian legal frameworks in NIAC.

Subjects: Women school superintendents -- United States

description: Women of color, especially Latinas, continue to be underrepresented in the public school superintendency in the United States, and there is little extant research that addresses this issue. This in?depth, qualitative portraiture study explored the lives and experiences of four Latinas who aspire to become superintendents in a northwestern state, addressing these questions: Who are these aspiring Latina superintendents? Why do they aspire to the superintendency? What successes and challenges have they experienced in this quest, and how do they interpret these experiences? And, what meaning do they make of becoming a Latina superintendent? Major findings of this study were that Latina aspirants do experience discrimination in regard to their ability to successfully compete for district superintendent positions. Participants in this study relied on several supports to help them achieve their goals, including: family and work ethic, determination, commitment, mentors, and preparation. The in?depth portraits of these women create new understandings about the struggles of Latinas as they work their way through a system that sometimes offers hope and encouragement, but just as often disempowers them through subtle forms of sexism and racism.

description: In this paper, we develop global superconvergence estimates for the lowest order Raviart--Thomas mixed finite element method for second order elliptic equations with general boundary conditions on triangular meshes, where most pairs of adjacent triangles form approximate parallelograms. In particular, we prove the $L^{2}$-distance between the numerical solution and canonical interpolant for the vector variable is of order $1+ρ$, where $ρ\in(0,1]$ is dependent on the mesh structure. By a cheap local postprocessing operator $G_{h}$, we prove the $L^{2}$-distance between the exact solution and the postprocessed numerical solution for the vector variable is of order $1+ρ$. As a byproduct, we also obtain the superconvergence estimate for Crouzeix--Raviart nonconforming finite elements on triangular meshes of the same type.
