description: Recognition of increasing surface air temperatures and climate change has altered governments and public's perception of environmental protection, fossil fuel use and energy efficiency. Specifically, there is increasing awareness that it is possible to contribute, in a substantial way, to reducing energy use and protecting the environment against climate change. One visible example of this is the promulgation of the "green building" concept around the world, where new buildings are designed with efficiency in water and energy use in mind. Concomitant with this is the drive towards increasing energy efficiency in public and private buildings through a combination of education and incentive programs. Efficiency in energy use in buildings is usually gained through: (i) maintaining a higher indoor air temperature of 25 oC, (ii) increasing the air recirculation ratio, and (iii) reducing energy loss through improving building insulation in windows. But, what is the effect of an energy efficiency drive on indoor air quality? Specifically, while increasing the amount of air recirculated helps reduce cooling cost for fresh air drawn from hotter air outside, a greater proportion of recirculated air also increases the residence times of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from various furniture and upholstery; thereby, degrading indoor air quality, which may negatively impact on occupants' productivity. Similarly, many post-modern buildings have full glass facade where there are little or no gaps between the glass and building structure; thus, such buildings are not "breathable" as contaminants such as dust and VOCs accumulate in the building, contributing to the "sick building syndrome". Hence, there exists a distinct trade-off in our march towards increasing energy efficiency in buildings and maintaining or improving indoor air quality, which impacts on overall productivity of building occupants as well as occupational safety and health. With lower proportion of fresh air intake in each recirculation of air, together with reduced exchange of indoor air with the building exterior, various contaminants such as dust, carbon dioxide, and VOCs accumulate, which collectively reduce the habitability of the indoor environment for work and leisure, which in extreme scenarios, could raise serious safety and health issues. Thus, a holistic and innovative approach is necessary as we tackle the challenges of implementing "green buildings" concept with protection of indoor air quality.

description: After the World Wide Web successfully penetrated the lives of people everywhere, it gave rise to the Semantic Web. Whereas the World Wide Web started to be used by humans, the Semantic Web is meant to facilitate machines to process data. To this end, data is modelled as ontology as opposed to storing it in classical relational databases. The work presented here deals with the research of large-scale collections of queries for semantic databases. Specifically, more than half a billion queries are investigated. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification Resource Description Framework (RDF) became the prominent standard for modelling semantic data. As corresponding language for querying, the SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language (SPARQL, a recursive acronym) was developed by the W3C. There are various large-scale public databases that offer semantic data for querying. These public endpoints log their usage for various purposes. These logs can offer insight into the actual usage of data and features in SPARQL. We investigate two primary sources for queries: A diverse collections mostly obtained from USEWOD, and publicly available query logs from Wikidata. The diverse collections consists mostly of logs from DBpedia, but it also includes sources such as LinkedGeoData, OpenBioMed, and BioPortal. The goal of the study in this work is to organize the data in the logs to make sense of it, so trends and insights on the nature of queries in the logs can be identified, which can be used to derive future directions for optimizing database systems that handle linked data and technology surrounding this topic. Therefore, questions guiding the research are from topics such as query evaluation, query optimization, tuning, and benchmarking. It turns out that quite a few observations can be made and it allows to draw several interesting conclusion. For instance, a very large number of queries is extremely simple. It is possible to describe the shapes of most queries, even more complex ones, with a shape that has favorable properties regarding the efficiency of evaluation. Furthermore, there are differences in queries originating from humans when compared to machine-generated queries. In this work, several novel, new approaches are taken such as the analysis of shapes of queries, the study of logs with a temporal analysis, and the investigation of query similarity based on structure. Results are entirely reproducible, the accompanying software is made available under an open-source license, and it can be used to explore logs in addition to analyzing them.

Konflikte bei der Aneignung des öffentlichen urbanen Raumes durch Jugendliche: Handlungsmöglichkeiten für die Offene Jugendarbeit
Creators: name: Güntensperger, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Bei der Aneignung des urbanen öffentlichen Raumes durch Jugendliche kommt es durch die verschiedenen altersspezifischen Anforderungen an diesen häufig zu Konflikten. Der Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist es daher, wie und warum solche Nutzungskonflikte entstehen, und wo sich eine sozialräumliche offene Jugendarbeit, welche sich entlang soziokulturellen Arbeitsprinzipien orientiert, zwischen all den Akteuren in einem hoch komplexen Feld positionieren kann. Eine soziologische Betrachtung der Thematik öffentlicher Raum nach Martina Löw und Henri Lefebvre bilden die Grundlage für die Herleitung zum Sozialraumverständnis der Sozialen Arbeit und der Leontjewsche Aneignungsbegriff dient zur Erklärung jugendlicher Raumaneignung. Die aufsuchende Jugendarbeit als konzeptionelles, sozial- und lebensweltorientiertes „Werkzeug“ stellen der offenen Jugendarbeit als Medium zur Kontaktaufnahme und dem Aufbau von solidarischen und vertrauensvollen Beziehungen mit Jugendlichen dar. Dazu werden die Jugendlichen auch noch von ordnungspolitischen Akteuren wie Polizei, sip/PINTO und privaten Sicherheitsdiensten aufgesucht. Welche Aufgaben und Handlungsspielräume die jeweiligen Akteure dabei haben und wie sich die offene Jugendarbeit in diesem ordnungs- und sozialpolitischen Spannungsfeld ausrichten kann, werden unter anderem vor dem Hintergrund einer neoliberalen Stadtpolitik und dem aktivierenden Sozialstaat erklärt. Eine klare Abgrenzung gegenüber ordnungspolitischen Aufgaben ist hier für die offene Jugendarbeit zentral. Daneben existieren Handlungsfelder für die Praxis der offenen Jugendarbeit welche vorgestellt werden.

description: The calibration and validation of a new model of batch biodrying of sewage sludge are presented. The calibration was performed with experimental data from the literature, while the validation was performed with new experimental data. The model was successfully calibrated with experimental data, with the values of parameters falling in the range of values reported. The new model also represented the behavior of the experimental data for all the variables measured, showing that it is robust and valid for the simulated conditions. Simulations showed that continuous high aeration increased the efficiency of the process.

Prediction of Genetic Susceptibility to Complex Diseases
Creators: name: Mao, Weidong
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: The accessibility of high-throughput biology data brought a great deal of attention to disease association studies. High density maps of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP's) as well as massive genotype data with large number of individuals and number of SNP's become publicly available. By now most analysis of the new data is undertaken by the statistics community. In this dissertation, we pursue a different line of attack on genetic susceptibility to complex disease that adheres to the computer science community with an emphasis on design rather than analytical methodology.
    The main goal of disease association analysis is to identify gene variations contributing to the risk of and/or susceptibility to a particular disease. There are basically two main steps in susceptibility: (i) haplotyping of the population and (ii) predicting the genetic susceptibility to diseases. Although there exist many phasing methods for step (i), phasing and missing data recovery for data representing family trios is lagging behind, and most disease association studies are based on family trios. This study is devoted to the problem of assessing accumulated information targeting to predict genotype susceptibility to complex diseases with significantly high accuracy and statistical power. The dissertation proposes two new greedy and integer linear programming based solution methods for step (i). We also proposed several universal and ad hoc methods for step (ii).
    The quality of susceptibility prediction algorithm has been assessed using leave-one-out and leave-many-out tests and shown to be statistically significant based on randomization tests. The prediction of disease status can also be viewed as an integrated risk factor. A combinatorial prediction complexity measure has been proposed for case/control studies. The best prediction rate achieved by the proposed algorithms is 69.5% for Crohn's disease and 61.3% for autoimmune disorder, respectively, which are significantly higher than those achieved by universal prediction methods such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and known statistic methods.

Decision Fusion for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction
Creators: name: Akkaladevi, Somasheker
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Prediction of protein secondary structure from primary sequence of amino acids is a very challenging task, and the problem has been approached from several angles. Proteins have many different biological functions; they may act as enzymes or as building blocks (muscle fibers) or may have transport function (e.g., transport of oxygen). The three-dimensional protein structure determines the functional properties of the protein. A lot of interesting work has been done on this problem, and over the last 10 to 20 years the methods have gradually improved in accuracy. In this dissertation we investigate several techniques for predicting the protein secondary structure. The prediction is carried out mainly using pattern classification techniques such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, simulated annealing. Each individual algorithm may work well in certain situations but fails in others. Capitalizing on the positive decisions can be achieved by forcing the various methods to collaborate to reach a unified consensus based on their previous performances. The process of combining classifiers is called decision fusion. The various decision fusion techniques such as the committee method, correlation method and the Bayesian inference methods to fuse the solutions from various approaches and to get better prediction accuracy are thoroughly explored in this  
dissertation. The RS126 data set was used for training and testing purposes. The results of applying pattern classification algorithms along with decision fusion techniques showed improvement in the prediction accuracy compared to that of prediction by neural networks or pattern classification algorithms individually or combined with neural networks. This research has shown that decision fusion techniques can be used to obtain better protein secondary structure prediction accuracy.

A Methodology for Domain-Specific Conceptual Data Modeling and Querying
Creators: name: Tian, Hao
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Traditional data management technologies originating from business domain are currently facing many challenges from other domains such as scientific research. Data structures in databases are becoming more and more complex and data query functions are moving from the back-end database level towards the front-end user-interface level. Traditional query languages such as SQL, OQL, and form-based query interfaces cannot fully meet the needs today. This research is motivated by the data management issues in life science applications. I propose a methodology for domain-specific conceptual data modeling and querying. The methodology can be applied to any domain to capture more domain semantics and empower end-users to formulate a query at the conceptual level with terminologies and functions familiar to them. The query system resulting from the methodology is designed to work on all major types of database management systems (DBMS) and support end-users to dynamically define and add new domain-specific functions. That is, all user-defined functions can be either pre-defined by domain experts and/or data model creators at the time of system creation, or dynamically defined by end-users from the client side at any time. 
The methodology has a domain-specific conceptual data model (DSC-DM) and a domain-specific conceptual query language (DSC-QL). DSC-QL uses only the abstract concepts, relationships, and functions defined in DSC-DM. It is a user-oriented high level query language and intentionally designed to be flexible, extensible, and readily usable. DSC-QL queries are much simpler than corresponding SQL or OQL queries because of advanced features such as user-defined functions, composite and set attributes, dot-path expressions, and super-classes. DSC-QL can be translated into SQL and OQL through a dynamic mapping function, and automatically updated when the underlying database schema evolves. The operational and declarative semantics of DSC-QL are formally defined in terms of graphs. A normal form for DSC-QL as a standard format for the mappings from flexible conceptual expressions to restricted SQL or OQL statements is also defined. Two translation algorithms from normalized DSC-QL to SQL and OQL are introduced. Through comparison, DSC-QL is shown to have very good balance between simplicity and expressive power and is suitable for end-users.
Implementation details of the query system are reported as well. Two prototypes have been built. One prototype is for neuroscience domain, which is built on an object-oriented DBMS. The other one is for traditional business domain, which is built on a relational DBMS.

Design of Comprehensible Learning Machine Systems for Protein Structure Prediction
Creators: name: Hu, Hae-Jin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: With the efforts to understand the protein structure, many computational approaches have been made recently.  Among them, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) methods have been recently applied and showed successful performance compared with other machine learning schemes.  However, despite the high performance, the SVM approaches suffer from the problem of understandability since it is a black-box model; the predictions made by SVM cannot be interpreted as biologically meaningful way.  To overcome this limitation, a new association rule based classifier PCPAR was devised based on the existing classifier, CPAR to handle the sequential data.  The performance of the PCPAR was improved more by designing the following two hybrid schemes.  The PCPAR/SVM method is a parallel combination of the PCPAR and the SVM and the PCPAR_SVM method is a sequential combination of the PCPAR and the SVM.  To understand the SVM prediction, the SVM_PCPAR scheme was developed.  The experimental result presents that the PCPAR scheme shows better performance with respect to the accuracy and the number of generated patterns than CPAR method.  The PCPAR/SVM scheme presents better performance than the PCPAR, PCPAR_SVM or the SVM_PCPAR and almost equal performance to the SVM.  The generated patterns are easily understandable and biologically meaningful.  The system sturdiness evaluation and the ROC curve analysis proved that this new scheme is robust and competent.

description: Few N4O2-type mixed ligand complexes (metallointercalators) were synthesized using benzene-1,2-diamine-derived Schiff base as primary ligand and 8-hydroxyquinoline as co-ligand. They were characterized by physicochemical and spectral techniques. The binding properties with DNA explored by different techniques indicate that the complexes have the ability to interact with DNA by intercalative mode. Gel electrophoresis technique reveals that the complexes have been found to promote cleavage of pUC19 DNA from the supercoiled form to the open circular form in the presence of ascorbic acid. The biological screening data exhibit that the complexes show growth inhibitory activity against various microorganisms.

The Pd/RPL nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, EDS, XPS, FTIR, and ICP-AES. The spherical Pd NPs had a mean particle size of 3.1 nm and were evenly distributed on the RPL surface. More importantly, the Pd/RPL nanocomposites were used as a heterogeneous catalyst, which presented superior catalytic activity for the Suzuki coupling reaction. In addition, only a slight loss in the catalytic activity was observed after six recycles.
Modeling and Querying Graph Data
Creators: name: Yang, Hong
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Databases are used in many applications, spanning virtually the entire range of data processing services industry. The data in many database applications can be most naturally represented in the form of a graph structure consisting of various types of nodes and edges with several properties. These graph data can be classified into four categories: social networks describing the relationships between individual person and/or groups of people (e.g. genealogy, network of coauthorship among academics, etc); information networks in which the structure of the network reflects the structure of the information stored in the nodes (e.g. citation network among academic papers, etc); geographic networks, providing geographic information about public transport systems, airline routes, etc; and biological networks (e.g. biochemical networks, neuron network, etc). In order to analyze such networks and obtain desired information that users are interested in, some typical queries must be conducted. It can be seen that many of the query patterns are across multiple categories described above, such as finding nodes with certain properties in a path or graph, finding the distance between nodes, finding sub-graphs, paths 
enumeration, etc. However, the classical query languages like SQL, OQL are inept dealing with these types of queries needed to be performed in the above applications. Therefore, a data model that can effectively represent the graph objects and their properties, and a query language which empowers users to answer queries across multiple categories are needed.

In this research work, a graph data model and a query language are proposed to resolve the issues existing in the current database applications. The proposed graph data model is an object-oriented graph data model which aims to represent the graph objects and their properties for various applications. The graph query language empowers users to query graph objects and their properties in a graph with specified conditions. The capability to specify the relationships among the entities composing the queried sub-graph makes the language more flexible than others.

For example, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry estimates that in 2001 the worldwide sales of pirated music CDs were 475 million US dollars. While a large amount of time and money is committed to creating intellectual property, legal means have not proven to be sufficient for the protection of this property.

Digital watermarking is a steganographic technique that has been proposed as a possible solution to this problem. A digital watermark hides embedded information about the origin, status, owner and/or destination of the data, often without the knowledge of the viewer or user.

This dissertation examines a technique for digital watermarking which utilizes properties of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Research has been done in this field, but which wavelet family is superior is not adequately addressed.

This dissertation studies the influence of the wavelet family when using a blind, nonvisible watermark in digital media. The digital watermarking algorithm uses a database of multiple images with diverse properties. Various watermarks are embedded. Eight different families of wavelets with dissimilar properties are compared. How effective is each wavelet? To objectively measure the success of the algorithm, the influence of the mother wavelet, the imperceptibility of the embedded watermark and the readability of the extracted watermark,

the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio and the Image Quality Index for each wavelet family and image

are obtained. Two common categories of digital watermarking attacks are removing the watermark

and rendering the watermark undetectable. To simulate and examine the effect of attacks on the

images, noise is added to the image data. Also, to test the effect of reducing an image in size, each image containing the embedded watermark is compressed.

The dissertation asks the questions: “Is the wavelet family chosen to implement the algorithm

for a blind, nonvisible watermark in digital images of consequence? If so, which family is superior?” This dissertation conclusively shows that the Haar transform is the best for blind, non-visible digital watermarking.
Biological Inference using Flow Networks
Creators: name: Westbrooks, Kelly
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Many bioinformatics problems are inference problems: Given partial or incomplete information about something, use that information to infer the missing or unknown data. This work addresses two inference problems in bioinformatics. The rst problem is inferring viral quasispecies sequences and their frequencies from 454 pyrosequencing reads. The second problem is inferring the structure of signal transduction networks from observations of interactions between cellular components. At first glance, these problems appear to be unrelated to each other. However, this work successfully penetrates both problems using the machinery of 
ow networks and transitive reduction, tools from classical computer science that prove useful in a wide array of application domains.

description: Background: Stem cell features and genetic definition of tumor grade is not available for follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas. We aim to assess whole exome sequencing and stem cell markers in high-stage high-grade thyroid carcinomas. Design: We selected stage IV thyroid carcinomas (TC): widely invasive follicular (WIFTC, 15), papillary (PTC, 21), poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC, 19), and anaplastic carcinomas (ATC, 14 with differentiated component and 15 without). Whole-exome sequencing was performed on tumor and normal tissue samples, using a Random Forest machine learning approach to compare ATC with and without differentiated component, and differentiated part vs. stage IV differentiated TC vs. PDTC. Predictive Model Analysis Pipeline and Methods ► Functional somatic mutations unique to tumors were identified and represented as a samples x genes mutation matrix (mutated=1, non-mutated=0). ► Pairwise Random Forest models were built for each diagnostic category ► Variable selection was conducted using Fisher's Exact test with 5x10 fold cross-validation design. Random Forest models were based on the training set using the caret package in R, and predictive accuracy measured in an independent test set. Telomerase immunostaining and FISH-PNA of telomere were also analyzed. Results: The grade-predictive genes included ARID1A (P=2.46E-09), MAPK10 (P=4.35E-08), CTNNB1 (P=3.19E-16), PIK3CA (P=2.12E-07), PIK3R1 (P=1.67E-11), PTEN (P=5.19E-25), and TP53 (P=8.65E-45). ATC–PDTC distinction was mainly dependent on the average number of target mutated genes (7 vs. 3), with no significant differences between ATC differentiated component and stage IV differentiated TC. Telomerase was significantly higher in PDTC-ATC (p<0.001), correlating with PNA-FISH detectable telomeres. PNA-FISH detectable telomere in more than 20% tumor cells was observed in high-grade lesions (PDTC-ATC), in particular at tumor periphery. Conclusions: Stem cell features and accumulation of cooperative genetic mutations defined poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas. Maintained stem cell features in peripheral tumor cells would contribute to higher metastatic potential.
High Performance Simulation of DEVS Based Large Scale Cellular Space Models

description: Cellular space modeling is becoming an increasingly important modeling paradigm for modeling complex systems with spatial-temporal behaviors. The growing demand for cellular space models has directed researchers to use different modeling formalisms, among which Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) is widely used due to its formal modeling and simulation framework. The increasing complexity of systems to be modeled asks for cellular space models with large number of cells for modeling the systems¡¯ spatial-temporal behavior. Improving simulation performance becomes crucial for simulating large scale cellular space models.

In this dissertation, we proposed a framework for improving simulation performance for large scale DEVS-based cellular space models. The framework has a layered structure, which includes modeling, simulation, and network layers corresponding to the DEVS-based modeling and simulation architecture. Based on this framework, we developed methods at each layer to overcome performance issues for simulating large scale cellular space models. Specifically, to increase the runtime and memory efficiency for simulating large number of cells, we applied Dynamic Structure DEVS (DSDEVS) to cellular space modeling and carried out comprehensive performance measurement. DSDEVS improves simulation performance by making the simulation focus only on those active models, and thus be more efficient than when the entire cellular space is loaded. To reduce the number of simulation cycles caused by extensive message passing among cells, we developed a pre-schedule modeling approach that exploits the model behavior for improving simulation performance. At the network layer, we developed a modified time-warp algorithm that supports parallel simulation of DEVS-based cellular space models. The developed methods have been applied to large scale wildfire spread simulations based on the DEVS-FIRE simulation environment and have achieved significant performance results.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
