Discriminative aversive olfactory learning induces rapid physiological and perceptual plasticity
Creators: name: Rosenthal, Michelle C.

description: Associative mechanisms allow organisms to learn which stimuli in the environment predict danger. Such learning allows the brain’s sensory systems to increase their sensitivity to ecologically-critical stimuli or optimize discrimination between threat-predictive and neutral stimuli. Here, we used discriminative aversive conditioning in human subjects to explore these interactions between sensory processing and learning. Prior to conditioning we used a triangle task to assess each subject’s ability to discriminate between a pair of very similar odorants and categorized them as baseline discriminators or non-discriminators. Each subject then underwent discriminative conditioning consisted of 8 trials of one of the odorants (the CS+) paired with a co-terminating mild wrist-shock and 8 trials of the other odorant (the CS-) presented alone. Odorants were counterbalanced across subjects and trials were presented in random order. Odorant-evoked skin conductance responses (SCR) were recorded throughout conditioning. Subjects very quickly (within the first few trials) developed a preferential enhancement of the SCR evoked by the CS+ odorant, including the group of non-discriminators that performed poorly on the baseline olfactory assessment. Post-conditioning perceptual testing on a subset of these subjects revealed that these non-discriminators exhibited an impressive improvement in their ability to discriminate the two odorants compared to their own pre-conditioning baselines. Control groups receiving odors without shocks or shocks without odors showed no differential SCR and no improvements in perceptual discrimination. Interestingly, a subset of participants with relatively high levels of trait anxiety (assessed via the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) exhibited much less difference in the SCR to the CS+ and CS- after conditioning compared to participants with normal levels of trait anxiety, which is consistent with previous reports. The results of this study highlight the capacity of the olfactory system for rapid plasticity in response to fear learning.
A novel framework for understanding atypical images

Year: 2017

description: In the past few years, there has been a tremendous amount of progress in the field of computer vision. As of now, we have reliable object detectors and classifiers that can recognize thousands of object categories. However, the ultimate goal of computer vision is to build systems that can understand and reason about images, far beyond scene categorization and object detection. In this thesis, algorithms have been proposed to empower computers with the human-level ability of detecting and reasoning about images that are understudied in the mainstream computer vision community.  In chapter 1, we open the conversation about abnormality detection, by discussing how hu- mans form visual concepts (e.g. an object category) and perceive meaningful deviations from these learned concepts as signals for abnormality. However, there is not a comprehensive study about what factors lead humans in this decision-making process. In chapter 2 we collect the first dataset of abnormal images from the web. Conduct several human subject experiments, and perform a thorough set of analysis to discover hidden factors in human judgment about abnormality. These analyses lead us to propose a taxonomy of comprehensive reasons of ab- normality in images.  Inspired by human reasoning, we address the problem of detecting abnormal objects and reasoning about their abnormality in terms of visual attributes, such as irregular shape, texture or color (chapter 3). Although our computational models are learned without seeing any ab- normal objects at training time, but still are capable of detecting and reasoning about abnormal images at the test time. In chapter 4 we develop probabilistic frameworks to model typical images and find atypical images as a meaningful deviation from this model. In chapter 5, we use the typicality scores of images and objects to improve the generalization capacity of the state- of-the-art Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for the task of object classification. We train these CNN models by minimizing a weighted loss function that incorporates in the typicality scores of samples. Our experiments show that this training strategy results in more generalized classifiers, which can be applied even to the extent of abnormal images.  In chapter 6 of this thesis, we study two problems that extend our framework for abnormality detection to special cases. We develop algorithms for detecting and localizing attributes in images. In addition to the application of localized attributes for the problem of abnormality detection, we show that fine-grained object categorization benefit from such rich information as well. We also propose algorithms to learn visual classifiers directly from the textual description of an object category. This zero-shot learning strategy extends the abnormality detection framework to object categories that are not present at the time of training. We close this thesis by discussing the main contributions and some future work.
Web based process mining and visualization tool

description: Process mining has received huge attention by researchers in the last couple of decades. Business processes leave execution logs in various forms which can be examined and analyzed to formalize the process execution. Process mining techniques help analysts to extract knowledge from event logs and traces. Due to ever increasing amount of data and need of mobility and platform independence it is becoming harder to provide a visualization for analysis without overwhelming the user. Informal processes leave behind event logs that cannot be analyzed by plain old algorithms. The information and properties regarding a process highly depends upon the domain and hence a variety of conformance models needs to be analyzed. The existing process mining and visualization tools (Prom, EventFlow, RapidMiner) provide sophisticated visualization at the cost of mobility and platform independence.  Therefore, in this thesis we propose a web based mobile and platform independent approach extending Trace Alignment [1][2] based approach to provide a feasible solution to the problem.

The challenges of change
Creators: name: Strange, Michael R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation provides a critique of state level long range transportation planning in the United States within the context of regulation. The research identifies challenges faced by state level planners and how historical, organizational, and methodological constructs have undermined quality outcomes. Recommendations are suggested on how to modify traditional reductionist rational long range transportation planning practice in order to increase the probability of creating more effective and robust transportation policies.    The research is composed of three parts: a case study of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), an analysis of current individual state long range transportation plans, and a phone survey of DOT directors of transportation planning directly responsible for their respective state’s long range transportation plan (LRTP) development.    The research found that state level long range transportation plans over the past 40 years have been created to meet statutory federal requirements for funding rather than as a tool for improving the quality of transportation policy outcomes. The process has led to little motivation to implement improved long range planning methodologies since the results of the plans have not actually been utilized in practice. The perception of planners and other stakeholders is that state level long range transportation planning has lost salience and is of little utility under a Federal regulation policy of “one size fits all.”  The interviews and case study affirmed continuing semantic and philosophical divides between transportation engineers, planners, and the public, thus limiting new insights and creativity.  Epistemological challenges coupled with a pervasive “that’s the way we have always done it” view appears to have hindered any desire for change in historical long range planning practice within state transportation agencies due to undefined risks in challenging the status quo.     The research presented demonstrates how existing federal-state long range transportation planning processes can be altered to better inform policy development by using alternative “mindful” analytic and behavioral methodologies.  Salient approaches better suited to policy development for complex chaotic systems, should contribute to greater robustness, resilience and sustainability of desired future outcomes so the resulting plans do not continue to remain just another “unused document on the shelf.”

description: Interest in proteins has expanded beyond biology. Proteins have found use in fields as varied as lanthanide separation, solar cell technology, medicine and fluorescent dyes. To develop proteins for each of these applications, it is necessary to understand each protein's structure. Through understanding the structure we are able to either improve that protein's function or design materials to target and inhibit its function. To this end, it is necessary to be able to screen a protein's structure and to study the protein's function in a quick and efficient manner. Spectroscopic techniques are able to fill this gap due to their low material requirements. To fully take advantage of the small sample size requirements of these techniques, this thesis reports on the development of a set of small-volume methods that need minimal material and are compatible with a wide range of instrumentation.

Exploring Pre-service Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Students with Disabilities of Differing Severity Levels
Creators: Deb, Prianjana

Abstract

Teachers’ attitudes toward students with disabilities are widely acknowledged as an

important factor in the success of inclusive education. While substantial research has

been conducted to examine teacher attitudes, there has been a notable scarcity of studies

focusing on pre-service teachers. Pre-service teacher education is an optimal time for

cultivating positive attitudes and fostering a commitment to inclusive education among

future teachers. It is crucial to understand the attitudes of pre-service teachers toward

students with disabilities in order to foster positive attitudes from the beginning of their

careers.

In this study, I examined pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward type of disability

(academic, communication, and behavior) and severity level of disability (mild,

moderate, and severe). The participants consisted of elementary (n = 313) and secondary

pre-service teachers (n = 313) enrolled in the Bachelor of Education program at the

University of Alberta. Participants completed the Attitudes, Beliefs, and Concerns about

Teaching Students with Disabilities (ABCIES) survey. The current study examined a

subset of 37 items from the ABCIES. This included participant responses to the

Demographic items (n=10) and Behavioral Difficulties (n =9), Academic Difficulties

(n=9) and Communication Difficulties (n=9). A mixed method ANOVA was conducted

to examine the elementary and secondary pre-service teachers' attitudes towards students

with academic, behavioural, and communication difficulties across the three severity

levels. At each disability level (i.e., mild, moderate and severe), pre-service teachers

reported the least favourable attitudes toward students with behaviour difficulties

compared to academic and communication difficulties. There was no significant

difference between academic and communication difficulties at the mild level.

Meanwhile, at the moderate and severe levels, pre-service teachers held more positive

towards students with communication difficulties than academic difficulties.

Additionally, secondary route pre-service teachers held more negative attitudes toward

including students with academic, behaviour, and communication disabilities in general

education classrooms. The findings of this study suggest that pre-service teachers’

attitudes are influenced by both the type and severity level of these three common

disability categories. These findings highlight the need to foster more positive attitudes

among pre-service teachers that may lead to more inclusive practices in their future

classrooms, benefiting all students.
Plasma synthesis and HPHT consolidation of bn nanoparticles, nanospheres, and nanotubes to produce nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride
Creators: name: Stout, Christopher

description: Plasma methods offer a variety of advantages to nanomaterials synthesis. The process is robust, allowing varying particle sizes and phases to be generated simply by modifying key parameters. The work here demonstrates a novel approach to nanopowder synthesis using inductively-coupled plasma to decompose precursor, which are then quenched to produce a variety of boron nitride (BN)-phase nanoparticles, including cubic phase, along with short-range-order nanospheres (e.g., nano-onions) and BN nanotubes. Cubic BN (c-BN) powders can be generated through direct deposition onto a chilled substrate. The extremely-high pyrolysis temperatures afforded by the equilibrium plasma offer a unique particle growth environment, accommodating long deposition times while exposing resulting powders to temperatures in excess of 5000K without any additional particle nucleation and growth. Such conditions can yield short-range ordered amorphous BN structures in the form of ~20nm diameter nanospheres. Finally, when introducing a rapid-quenching counter-flow gas against the plasma jet, high aspect ratio nanotubes are synthesized, which are collected on substrate situated radially.  The benefits of these morphologies are also evident in high-pressure/high-temperature consolidation experiments, where nanoparticle phases can offer a favorable conversion route to super-hard c-BN while maintaining nanocrystallinity. Experiments using these morphologies are shown to begin to yield c-BN conversion at conditions as low as 2.0 GPa and 1500°C when using micron sized c-BN seeding to create localized regions of high pressures due to Hertzian forces acting on the nanoparticles.

Becoming human
Creators: name: Swanson, Stefan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a futuristic reworking of the Pinocchio story that substitutes a robot boy (David) for the wooden puppet as the protagonist. David is given advanced artificial intelligence that enables him to love, but this causes him endless conflict in a human world. The film addresses complex themes about humanity, love, and creation, and the conflicts these themes create between orga (humans) and mecha (lifelike, human-created robots). One of the most important factors in this exploration is the score composed by John Williams. This paper shows how the music explores the dichotomy of ‘human’-related subjects and ‘artificial’-related subjects present in the story. Williams draws from a plethora of styles and techniques which are organized into signifier categories representing mecha and orga. These signifiers are then examined using in-depth music analysis focusing primarily on the major, recurring themes in the score.

Personal health information management in diabetes
Creators: name: Sun, Si
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This study aims to explore how patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes manage their daily personal health information, including (a) the motivators that lead patients to engage in personal health information management (PHIM), (b) the PHIM activities, and (c) affective processes that accompany PHIM activities. These three aspects are integrated into a comprehensive model of PHIM in diabetes and design principles for future interventions are proposed.  Thirty people living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are recruited for this study through snowball sampling and participated in semi-structured one-on-one interviews and photo-documentation. These methods offer rich data that is suitable for this exploratory study. The data from the interviews are transcribed and coded with a framework adopted from the literature and the detailed codes are developed through latent content analysis.  The findings reveal 39 categories of motivators, 22 activities, and 12 affective processes that are threaded together by the feedback loop between motivators, activities and affective processes as well as various information items. These findings come together as a comprehensive model of PHIM processes in diabetes and offer a patients’ perspective toward PHIM and its impact on diabetes management. The findings show how PHIM processes in diabetes may connect to and differ from the personal information management processes. Based on the findings, 5 implications for design are proposed to address some of the key issues faced by diabetes patients as they navigate their personal health.

description: The New Jersey Division of Water Resources' Bureau of Water Quality Planning and Management conducted surveys of state lakes as part of an on-going lake inventory and classification program. Fifteen (15) lakes were initially surveyed, primarily based on priorities established by 208 Areawide Planning Programs. These surveys looked at the lake dynamics and trophic conditions, utilizing field observations, nutrient concentrations and biological analyses and indices. Point and non-point sources of nutrients were differentiated and quantified wherever possible. Analyses were conducted for physical, chemical, bacteriological and other biological parameters. Recommendations were made regarding the control of excessive nutrient loading and methods for lake rehabilitation.
