A numerical study of cohesive and non-cohesive particles in a bottom spray fluidized bed using fully coupled CFD-DEM simulations
Creators: name: Adepu, Manogna
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Fully coupled CFD-DEM simulations were conducted to investigate the applicability of the van der Waals cohesive force model to a bottom spray fluid bed. For the present simulation DEM was executed on the Graphic Unit Processing Unit (GPU) and the CFD on the Central Processing Unit (CPU). For this, DEM code XPS was coupled with CFD code AVL FIRE®. Based on this approach a bottom spray fluid bed coater was simulated for a process of 30 sec to investigate the agglomeration process. The growth and breakage of agglomerates was numerically confirmed. Number of particles sprayed over the simulation time and mean velocity were monitored in both cohesive and non-cohesive systems to understand the behavior of fluidization. To understand the fluidization in the cohesive system three different cases of coating process were investigated with different fluidization velocities.

description: Taumacera suturalis (Duvivier, 1885), comb. nov.
Platyxantha suturalis Duvivier, 1885b: 398 (original description)
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: 1 ♀, ‘ Manilla [w, h] // Collect. / Duvivier [w, p] //A. Duvivier det. [p] / Platyxantha / suturalis / Duviv [w, h] // TYPE [pink, p] // cf. Stett. Ent. Zeit.

Comments. The number of specimens and sex was not specified in the original description of Platyxantha suturalis. The Duvivier’s collection in the ISNB contains only one female which well fits the description. Because there is no evidence about more specimens in the description I treat this specimen as the holotype.
Since the description of Platyxantha suturalis it was listed only in catalogues. While WEISE (1924) classified it in Platyxantha (Haplotes), WILCOX (1973) and KIMOTO (1990) listed it in the genus Polexima. Both Haplotes and Polexima belong to the African fauna, Asian species previously listed in these genera were transferred elsewhere (often to Taumacera). Since only the female is known which considerably complicates the correct generic placement, I tentatively transfer Platyxantha suturalis to Taumacera based on the structure of the pronotum and antennae. However, the definite position can only be confirmed when the male is discovered.

description: As data continues to grow rapidly in volume and complexity, there is an increasing need to extract meaningful insights from it. These datasets often contain sensitive individual information, making privacy protection crucial. Differential privacy has become the de facto standard for protecting individuals' privacy. Many datasets also have known constraints and structures. Can these known constraints or structures be leveraged to design mechanisms with better utility?The focus of this thesis is to demonstrate that by leveraging the inherent structures and constraints within datasets, it may be possible to design differential privacy mechanisms that offer better utility (i.e., more accurate results) while maintaining the required level of privacy. This involves exploring advanced techniques and modifications to the basic mechanisms that take advantage of dataset-specific properties, such as sparsity, distributional assumptions, or other contextual information. This approach aims to minimize the noise added, thereby improving the utility of differentially private outputs.In many scenarios, datasets contain constraints. In this thesis, we show that generating differentially private synthetic data while preserving constraints increases utility across several metrics, including marginal queries, classification task accuracy, and clustering. Smooth sensitivity is a data-dependent sensitivity metric that allows for more precise noise addition based on the actual data distribution, rather than worst-case scenarios. It addresses the limitations of local sensitivity by ensuring robust privacy guarantees, even in the presence of outliers or small changes in the data.
We have developed a differentially private Naive Bayes model using smooth sensitivity. By using data-dependent sensitivity measures like smooth sensitivity and incorporating known data constraints, we can reduce the amount of noise added, resulting in a more accurate model.

Meeting the challenges of modernity as experienced by Said Nursi, Muhammad Iqbal and Muhammad Abduh
Creators: name: Aksoy, Nuriye
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: One of the core debates of the Muslim intellectuals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was on the question of whether Islam could or should embrace change. If so, then how would this change take place in meeting the current challenges, while also staying faithful to the primary teachings of Islam? Muslims, and non-Muslims alike were directly or indirectly influenced by the “modern” trends brought by the West. Did “modern” values always signify progress and value? To what extent would modern principles be adopted in the Islamic tradition?  These were certainly a few of the many questions raised by pioneer figures of “modernity” like Said Nursi (d. 1960), Muhammad Iqbal (d.1938) and Muhammad Abduh (d.1905).  As I have come to hypothesize prior to my research, their distinct educational background and context had great significant and lasting impacts in the unique approaches that they undertook in regards to bringing change. As I have concluded, the ways in which they have dealt with these “modern” challenges, as well as opportunities, were not only an inspiration for their own generations, but also relevant to many Muslims to this day. Still, many Muslims and non-Muslims are unaware of these intellectuals who have demonstrated an immense effort in resolving the issues of their day.  This is important to note because there is the possibility for these intellectuals to also shed light to the existing internal crisis of the Islamic world today, if meticulous attention is given to their teachings.
Scheduling and flexible control of wide-area data transport services for end-to-end application workflows
Creators: name: Aktas, Mehmet Fatih
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Emerging end-to-end scientific applications that integrate high-end experiments and instruments with large scale simulations and end-user displays, require complex couplings and data sharing between distributed components involving large data volumes and varying hard (in-time data delivery) and soft (in-transit processing) quality of service (QoS) requirements. As a result, enabling efficient data coupling is a key requirement of such workflows. In this thesis, we try to address this in two levels; in data transport level and in data sharing abstraction level. Firstly, we leverage software-defined networking (SDN) to address issues of data transport service control and resource provisioning to meet varying QoS requirements from multiple coupled workflows sharing the same service medium. Specifically, we present a flexible control and a disciplined resource scheduling approach for data transport services for science networks. Furthermore, we emulate an SDN testbed on top of the FutureGrid virtualized testbed and use it to evaluate our approach for a realistic scientific workflow. Our results show that SDN-based control and resource scheduling based on simple intuitive service models can meet the coupling requirements with high resource utilization. Secondly, we present design and implementation of an asynchronous data sharing framework for application couplings over wide-area network. Specifically, presented framework extends shared space abstractions of Dataspaces, which is a data sharing framework for HPC applications, to wide-area scale using a NUMA-like architecture and implementation that leverages advanced data transport technologies like GridFTP and RDMA, and uses predictive prefetching using Markov based models to bring remote data close to the application in-time. Finally, our initial results evaluating the performance of the presented framework show that given some slack time between the data insertion and retrieval queries, latency due to data transport over wide-area network can be efficiently masked for realistic scientific workflows.

A study on the effects of triterpenoids on prostate cancer prevention
Creators: name: Al-Mahmood, Asia Abed
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Prostate cancer is the one of the most common cancers in the world, and the incidence of this disease increases annually.  Many phytochemicals have been shown to be potent inhibitors in preventing prostate cancer disease initiation, progression or inhibit metastasis. Cancer chemoprevention by relatively non-toxic commonly consumed dietary phytochemicals or synthetic compounds would be a logical approach in reducing cancer incidence, and progression to advanced-resistant cancer cells. Synthetic oleanane triterpenoids have been shown to be effective compounds in prostate cancer chemoprevention. The nuclear E2-factor related factor 2 (Nrf2) is the master regulator of many detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes. It is considered the most important chemopreventive signaling pathway in inhibiting cancer initiation and progression. In this study, two synthetic triterpenoids CDDO-Im and CDDO-EA were used to investigate their effects on the activation of Nrf2 and Nrf2-mediated downstream target genes. These compounds were first tested on HepG2-C8 cells stably transfected with ARE-luciferase reporter gene, for cell toxicity and their potential to induce the Nrf2/ARE pathway. CDDO-Im and CDDO-EA were found to could induce ARE-luciferase activities at relatively low and non-toxic concentrations. Using quantitative PCR (qPCR) and western blotting, the transcription of Nrf2 downstream genes HO-1 and SOD1 were significantly induced by drug treatments, corresponding with the increase in their protein levels in human prostate LNCaP cells. These results suggest that CDDO-Im and CDDO-EA could elicit their chemopreventive effect via the activation of Nrf2 pathway. Emerging evidence suggests epigenetic mechanism such as DNA methylation and histone modifications could potentially be involved in the regulation of Nrf2 pathway. In this study, the effects of CDDO-Im and CDDO-EA on histone deacetylases (HDAC) were investigated by using qPCR. Both compounds show inhibitory effects on HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC3 which are considered the highly expressed type of HDACs in prostate cancer. Both compounds can also inhibit HDAC6 at low concentrations. In summary, this study shows that CDDO-Im and CDDO-EA are potentially interesting compounds for prostate cancer chemoprevention via activating Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway as well as epigenetic regulation.

description: Human hunting is known to greatly affect the behaviors of wildlife. Hunting drives animals to change their survival strategies in ways that increase risks of disease and natural predation and sacrifice more effective feeding strategies. Thus, human hunting is a significant component (of the landscape of fear, a concept which describes the changes in an animal's space use and spatial distribution of behaviors as responses to indicators of real or perceived predation risk across their habitat. There is a lack of evidence for a connection between navigational strategies and the landscape of fear. We studied the effects of real and perceived predation risk on the use of habitual routes by a population of yellow-breasted capuchins under hunting pressure (Sapajus xanthosternos) at _Una Biological Reserve in Bahia, Brazil. We found that the capuchins used more habitual routes in close proximity to events of hunting. We also found that the capuchins used more habitual routes closer to observed events of risk-perception behaviors. However, events of terrestrial and aerial predation from natural predators did not have a significant effect on the use of habitual routes. Our findings indicate that the navigational strategies of yellow-breasted capuchins are affected by their landscape of fear, especially as it pertains to human hunting.

On synchronous behavior in complex nonlinear dynamical systems
Creators: name: Aminzare, Zahra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to study synchronous behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems by the method of contraction theory.  Contraction theory provides an elegant way to analyze the behavior of certain non- linear systems. Under sometimes easy to check hypotheses, systems can be shown to have the incremental stability property that trajectories converge to each other. This work provides a self contained introduction to some of the basic concepts and results in contraction theory. As we will discuss later, contractivity is not a topological, but is instead a metric property: it depends on the norm being used in contraction theory and in fact an appropriate choice of norms is critical. One of the main contributions of this dissertation is to generalize some of the existing results in the literature which are based on L2 norms to results based on non L2 norms using some modern techniques from nonlinear functional analysis.  The focus of the first main part of this dissertation is on the application of con- traction theory and graph theory to synchronization in complex interacting systems that can be modeled as an interconnected network of identical systems. We base our approach on contraction theory, using norms that are not induced by inner products. Such norms are the most appropriate in many applications, but proofs cannot rely upon  Lyapunov-like linear matrix inequalities, and different techniques, such as the use of the Perron-Frobenious Theorem in the cases of L1 or L∞ norms, must be introduced.  On the second main part of this work, using the method of contraction theory based on non L2 norms, spatial uniformity for the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a reaction diffusion PDE with Neumann boundary conditions will be studied.

description: In my dissertation, I use a hemispheric American framework to explore how  changing understandings of silence have shaped the development of experimental poetry  since the 1950s. I begin by showing how silence has become a key concept in mainstream  criticism's devaluation of experimental literature and art. Midcentury critics, citing such  works' refusal of conventional sense-making, were the first to describe them as "silent" –  unconcerned with shared cultural meaning, incapable of political engagement, and  therefore negligent of the duties previously embraced by avant-garde art. Responding to  these claims, writers like Mexican poet Octavio Paz, Brazilian intellectual Haroldo de  Campos, and U.S. composer John Cage worked to imagine silence not as a lack of  content but as a culturally mediated way of being and behaving. They challenged lyric  poetry's traditional reliance on notions related to speech (voice, breath, rhythm, etc.) to  reimagine avant-garde poetry as an activity whose power for opposition to the status quo  lies not in speaking out but in falling silent. For example, in my third chapter I examine  the ideological stakes of this silence, arguing that while U. S. cultural policy increasingly  made a spectacle of inter-American cultural communication, literary silence provided a  means of strategic non-communication. These changing ideas about silence suggest an alternative narrative about modernism's transition to postmodernism: one driven not by  an evolving understanding of discourse but by changing conceptions of that which  disrupts it. Here the "linguistic turn" is simultaneous with a "silent turn." While my  dissertation focuses on the work of Cage, Paz, and de Campos, I open the discussion to  include these poets' interaction with the "silent" work of writers and artists like Alejandra  Pizarnik, Jackson Mac Low, Robert Rauschenberg, and others.

An analytical model for piezoelectric unimorph cantilever subjected to an impulse load
Creators: name: Athavale, Abhinav A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Researchers have been studying ways to harvest various ambient vibrations using piezoelectric materials to power wireless sensors and portable electronics. Literature review includes several such analytical models to harvest energy from vibrations due to the harmonic base excitation using piezoelectric beams. These models have not explored non-harmonic forcing terms independent of frequency such as an impulse load. Presented in this thesis is an analytical model that provides exact solutions for electrical and mechanical response of a piezoelectric unimorph cantilever beam acted upon by an impulse load at the free end. The beam is modeled using the Euler-Bernoulli assumptions.  The impulse load is simulated using the delta function. Damping in the form of strain rate damping and viscous damping is taken into consideration for accurate modeling. This model can also capable of obtaining solutions for the conventional forcing terms which have been previously mentioned in the literature review. Closed form expressions for tip displacement of the beam and voltage generated across a load resistance are derived. These closed form expressions are solved using MATLAB to obtain the instantaneous values for the tip displacement and voltage generated. These instantaneous values for different load resistances are plotted as a function time using MATLAB for better visual perspective.  The energy generated by harvester and the mechanical efficiency are found. From the plots it can be inferred that the particular harvester was suited for load resistances between the values of 100 Ω to 1 KΩ. The model is thus used to predict the response of a particular configuration for a piezoelectric unimorph cantilever beam harvester which satisfies the Euler-Bernoulli assumptions and is subjected to impulse loading.

Predicting cost overrun of railroad bridge construction
Creators: name: Attara, Medhat George
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Railroad Bridge Construction Projects have frequently exceeded their cost and schedule resulting in major financial losses to the owners and to the contractors, severe interruption of the rail operation schedules and consequently significant inconvenience to the rail commuters. Currently, there are very few methods available to predict the completed construction cost.   This research proposes cost estimating model that incorporates the “major uncertainty constraints” (MUC) which drive both the cost and schedule of Railroad bridge Construction. This approach is an advanced unique model that is proposed for calculation of adequate contingency in a portfolio of construction projects. It is used to update historical contingency values based on new railroad project data that becomes available as soon as construction projects are completed.   A comprehensive literature search reveals that many researchers have developed models to predict cost overruns by considering only change orders as the main driver of construction cost overrun without considering the MUC impact. Owners and managers, who are in charge of estimating budget and construction duration in both public and private sectors, have limitations in predicting such tasks accurately.   Data on completed projects are obtained from one of the nation largest Transit agency for 70 Railroad bridge construction projects. It examines the challenging environment of Railroad Bridge Construction Industry and describes the development of a predictive model of cost deviation in such high-risk projects. Based on an in-depth evaluation and analysis of completed railroad bridge construction projects, historical data was obtained on reasons behind cost overrun and underrun from 25 Railroad bridge projects which experienced cost overrun and underrun as study cases out of 70 completed general Railroad construction projects.   This study contributes to a uniquely better understanding of the reasons for cost deviation in Railroad bridge construction projects and provides a decision support tool to quantify the extend of that deviation. Its results are expected to support the bridge owners and contractors who are in charge of estimating budget and construction duration in Railroad Bridge Construction sectors in accurately predicting the construction cost based on adequately calculated cost contingency at the business planning or early stage of a project.

Comments. MAULIK (1936) transferred this species to Palpoxena and this placement was followed in all subsequent catalogues (WILCOX 1973, MEDVEDEV & SPRECHER- UEBERSAX 1999, KIMOTO 2005, BEENEN 2010). I have found two syntypes (male and female) in BMNH and since the male has the metasternal process I have no doubt to transfer Auchenia viridis to Taumacera.
