title: Confidence malleability in the interviewing setting, and its effect on subsequent memory monitoring and regulation
Creators: name: Caso, Alessandra
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: Eyewitness evidence is often essential for the outcome of an investigation. However, research has shown that memory is not perfect, and eyewitnesses can make mistakes. In the past forty years, researchers have developed evidence-based techniques to interview eyewitnesses effectively and to maximise the amount and accuracy of the information elicited in an interview. Despite the wealth of research on best practice interviewing techniques, little is known about how these might affect eyewitness confidence. This is important because confidence plays a pivotal role in the regulation of memory output. For example, research in metamemory showed that confidence judgements underpin eyewitnesses’ decisions to report or withhold information. This PhD aims to fill this gap by investigating confidence changes within the context of an investigative interview and testing the hypothesis that confidence shifts following an interview might affect subsequent memory regulation. Study 1 showed that memory confidence can change after an interview. Study 2 built on this finding and showed that when the interview promotes free and undirected retrieval, confidence remains stable. On the contrary, when the interview promotes a directed retrieval via presenting Cued Recall questions, confidence decreases. A further investigation of the metacognitive processes that underpin these results (Study 3a and 3b) showed that different types of question lead to confidence shifts depending on the difficulty experienced when answering them. Finally, drawing upon these results, Study 4 investigated the conditions of an interview likely to lead to confidence shifts and those likely to promote confidence stability. Across the studies, no evidence was found that changes in confidence following an interview impact subsequent memory regulation. Overall, theresults confirm and further the existing evidence in support of good practice in eyewitnesses interviewing. As such, evidence-based techniques are compatible with confidence stability, while deviations from them are likely to lead to decreased confidence.

description: The stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley neurons considered in this paper replace time-constant deterministic input $a dt$ of the classical deterministic model by increments $\vartheta dt + dX_t$ of a stochastic process: $X$ is Ornstein-Uhlenbeck with volatility $σ>0$ and backdriving force $τ>0$, and we call $\vartheta>0$ the signal. We have ergodicity and strong laws of large numbers for various functionals of the process, and characterize 'quiet behaviour' and 'regular spiking' as events whose probability depends on the parameters $(τ,σ)$ and on the signal $\vartheta$. The notions of quiet behaviour and regular spiking allow for a construction of circuits of interacting stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley neurons, combining excitation with inhibition according to a bloc structure along the circuit, on which self-organized rhythmic oscillations can be observed.

description: Two weeks ago I was in what remains of O’Devaney Gardens, the social housing complex off Dublin’s North Circular Road, filming a programme with RTE. O’Devaney Gardens,behind Dublin’s Arbour Hill Prison, was built in the early 1950s, and named after a Bishop O’Devaney, a friend of 16th-century resistance leader Hugh O’Neill. O’Devaney was hanged in 1612 in the Arbour Hill area for treason . In recognition of his greatness, three centuries later 13 blocks of flats were named after him.

description: As the government grapples with establishing a worthwhile housing policy, it would do well to remember that affordability is key. As companies increasingly choose to locate in or near cities, and people followjobs, most of Ireland’s housing needs will be in the greater Dublin area. In 2015, about half the population lives on just 20% of Ireland’s surface area, but by 2030 nearly half the nation will be living on just 10% of the land. Figures vary but the Dublin area will need 8,000-10,000 housing units per year.
title: Erzählverfahren in autofiktionalen Familienromanen österreichischer Schriftstellerinnen der Gegenwart
Creators: name: Ranger, Caroline
Year: 2022

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Erzählverfahren in autofiktionalen Familienromanen zweier österreichischer Schriftstellerinnen der Gegenwart. Monika Helfers „Die Bagage“ und „Vati“ sowie Ljuba Arnautovićs „Junischnee“ werden einer narratologischen Analyse unterzogen, die das Ziel verfolgt zu beleuchten, wie sich die beiden Autorinnen den eigenen Familienmitgliedern erzählstrategisch annähern und inwiefern die verwendeten Erzählverfahren eine Interpre-tation der erzählten Leben als von geschlechter- und genderspezifischen Machtrelationen geprägte Geschichten zulassen. Unter Rückgriff auf Paul de Mans Theorie der Autobiographie als Maskenspiel, Judith Butlers Konzept der Performativität von Geschlechtsidentität und Anna Babkas Verbindung von Gender und Autobiographie wird in der Textanalyse deutlich, dass das narrative Vorgehen der drei autofiktionalen Familienerzählungen eine Lektüreweise eröffnet, in der das Erzählen über (die eigene) Familie als performativer Akt der Erschreibung, und nicht als Repräsentation von ‚Wirklichem‘ oder ‚Erinnertem‘, begreifbar wird.
description: This paper deals with narrative procedures in autofictional family novels by two contemporary Austrian women writers. Monika Helfer's "Die Bagage" and "Vati" as well as Ljuba Arnau-tović's "Junischnee" are subjected to a narratological analysis with the aim of shedding light on how the two authors approach their own family members in terms of narrative strategies and to what extent the narrative procedures used allow for an interpretation of the narrated lives as stories shaped by power relations specific to sex and gender. With recourse to Paul de Man's theory of autobiography as de-facement, Judith Butler's concept of gender performativity and Anna Babka's conflation of gender and autobiography, it becomes clear in the text analysis that the narrative procedures of the three autofictional family narratives offer a mode of read-ing in which the narration of (one's own) family becomes comprehensible as a performative act of creating notions of the family and its members, and not as a representation of what is 'real' or 'remembered'.
title: Rental Sector Reform Must Look at the European Dimension
Creators: name: Sirr, Lorcan
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin
Year: 2016

description: One of the key points of interest for me in Rebuilding Ireland, the recently published Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness, was how it proposed to deal with reform of security of tenure in the private rental sector. Under the plan, where a landlord proposes to sell 20 or more units within a single scheme, the tenants can remain in situ “other than in exceptional circumstances”. Hopefully, this will be amended in due course; the proposal affects few landlords, offers protection to only a small proportion of tenants, and is riddled with legal holes. I would argue that landlords with more than three properties lose all rights to evict tenants if the property is for sale or needed by a family member. In return, they would have more profitable tax treatment.

description: We describe how to characterize dynamical phase transitions in open quantum systems from a purely dynamical perspective, namely, through the statistical behavior of quantum jump trajectories. This approach goes beyond considering only properties of the steady state. While in small quantum systems dynamical transitions can only occur trivially at limiting values of the controlling parameters, in many-body systems they arise as collective phenomena and within this perspective they are reminiscent of thermodynamic phase transitions. We illustrate this in open models of increasing complexity: a three-level system, a dissipative version of the quantum Ising model, and the micromaser. In these examples dynamical transitions are accompanied by clear changes in static behavior. This is however not always the case, and in general dynamical phase behavior needs to be uncovered by observables which are strictly dynamical, e.g. dynamical counting fields. We demonstrate this via the example of a class of models of dissipative quantum glasses, whose dynamics can vary widely despite having identical (and trivial) stationary states.
title: Can this wait? Civil conflict negotiation and the content of ethnic identity
Creators: name: Lebowitz, David E.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
Current approaches to the negotiated resolution of ethnic civil conflict either ignore or negate the impact of the content of ethnic identities on the negotiation process, or alternatively assume without sufficient evidence that violent conflict is caused by conflicting ethnic narratives. Based upon a comparison of the Israeli-Palestinian and Northern Ireland conflicts and negotiation processes, this thesis suggests a third perspective. While the evidence does not support the contention that conflicting ethnic narratives cause violent civil conflict to occur, identity-based issues can present tremendous barriers to negotiated agreement. The postponement of the central identity-based issue was critical to the success of the Northern Ireland peace process, and the inclusion of such issues for permanent resolution was equally critical to the failure of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. These findings suggest that the postponement of permanently resolving such issues until after the cause of conflict is addressed may offer a more promising strategy for ending violent civil conflict than alternatives hitherto explored.

description: The connected covering spaces of a connected and locally path-connected topological space $X$ can be classified by the conjugacy classes of those subgroups of $π_1(X,x)$ which contain an open normal subgroup of $π_1(X,x)$, when endowed with the natural quotient topology of the compact-open topology on based loops. There are known examples of semicoverings (in the sense of Brazas) that correspond to open subgroups which do not contain an open normal subgroup. We present an example of a semicovering of the Hawaiian Earring $\mathds{H}$ with corresponding open subgroup of $π_1(\mathds{H})$ which does not contain {\em any} nontrivial normal subgroup of $π_1(\mathds{H})$.

title: The impact of stress on older adult caregivers' everyday memory
Creators: name: Anderson, Jessica H.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
The goal of the present study was to explore the relationship of stress with everyday memory and basic cognitive abilities in informal older adult caregivers. Caregivers completed a pseudo-medication regimen, measured using an electronic pill cap. The cap monitored the number of openings and the timing of the openings for 14 days. In addition, caregivers completed a daily stress assessment. Hierarchical linear models found no effect of stress, but speed of processing and working memory were related to the correct timing of openings. A cross-level interaction of speed of processing with stress on the timing of openings was found. Individuals with lower speed of processing scores improved their performance with stress. Overall, cognitive resources are predictive of everyday memory performance.

description: Malaria is a devastating parasitic disease affecting half of the world's population. The rapid emergence of resistance against new antimalarial drugs, including artemisinin-based therapies, has made the development of drugs with novel mechanisms of action extremely urgent. Proteases are enzymes proven to be well suited for target-based drug development due to our knowledge of their enzymatic mechanisms and active site structures. More importantly, Plasmodium proteases have been shown to be involved in a variety of pathways that are essential for parasite survival. However, pharmacological rather than target-based approaches have dominated the field of antimalarial drug development, in part due to the challenge of robustly validating Plasmodium targets at the genetic level. Fortunately, over the last few years there has been significant progress in the development of efficient genetic methods to modify the parasite, including several conditional approaches. This progress is finally allowing us not only to validate essential genes genetically, but also to study their molecular functions. In this review, I present our current understanding of the biological role proteases play in the malaria parasite life cycle. I also discuss how the recent advances in Plasmodium genetics, the improvement of protease-oriented chemical biology approaches, and the development of malaria-focused pharmacological assays, can be combined to achieve a robust biological, chemical and therapeutic validation of Plasmodium proteases as viable drug targets.

description: A Lie system is a non-autonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations whose general solution can be written via an autonomous function, a so-called (nonlinear) superposition rule of a finite number of particular solutions and some parameters to be related to initial conditions. Even if the superposition rules for some Lie systems are known, the explicit analytic expression of their solutions frequently is not. This is why this article focuses on a novel geometric attempt to integrate Lie systems analytically and numerically. We focus on two families of methods: those based on Magnus expansions and the Runge-Kutta-Munthe-Kaas method, which are here adapted to the geometric properties of Lie systems. To illustrate the accuracy of our techniques we propose examples based on the SL$(n,\mathbb{R})$ Lie group, which plays a very relevant role in mechanics. In particular, we depict an optimal control problem for a vehicle with quadratic cost function. Particular numerical solutions of the studied examples are given.

Sublethal effects

description: It is well established that oil exposure induces a suite of cardiac impairments, or cardiotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity is characterized by morphological and physiological impairments in larval fish and reduced performance and aerobic scope (ASc) in juveniles and adults, which is predicted to interfere with ecological performance, though it is currently unknown. To address this, my thesis focused on the cardiotoxic impacts and downstream ecological significance of crude oil exposure on a recreationally important estuarine species, red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus). In embryonic exposures, red drum sustained sublethal effects at significantly lower concentrations of oil than pelagic species, however, they had comparable 50% lethal concentrations. This was the first study to measure reduced cardiac output performance in marine larvae following oil exposure. Subsequent studies explored the ecological implications of cardiotoxicity on a variety of performance measures. In species where social dominance is influenced by ASc, I hypothesized that oil-induced impaired ASc would predispose individuals to social subordination. When competing with unexposed conspecifics, oil exposed fish were more likely to become subordinate. To expand on this, long-term impacts of oil exposure on group competition were investigated. Groups of juveniles exposed to control or varying oil doses were housed together in either resource-rich or resource-limited environments; survival, growth, and social subordination were monitored for 8 weeks. In resource-rich environments, oil exposed fish demonstrated normal growth and resource competition. In resource-limited environments, oil exposed fish experienced reductions in growth rate and standard metabolic rate, indicating oil exposed fish were unable to compete with unexposed conspecifics when competition was high. To assess the role of impaired ASc on predation risk, fingerling groups were placed into a predator-avoidance assay. Oil groups experienced a significant reduction in time to 50% mortality compared to controls, which was accompanied by elevated hyperactivity, but not impaired swim performance or ASc. Therefore, while cardiotoxicity clearly carry ecological consequences, novel modes of toxicity may be of equal or greater importance for ecological function. Overall my thesis highlights the impacts of oil exposure on cardiac performance in larval fish, the effects of cardiotoxicity on individual and group competitions, and the ecological consequences of behavioral impairments

description: The security proofs of continuous-variable quantum key distribution are based on the assumptions that the eavesdropper can neither act on the local oscillator nor control Bob's beam splitter. These assumptions may be invalid in practice due to potential imperfections in the implementations of such protocols. In this paper, we consider the problem of transmitting the local oscillator in a public channel and propose a wavelength attack which can allow the eavesdropper to control the intensity transmission of Bob's beam splitter by switching the wavelength of the input light. Specifically we target continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems that use the heterodyne detection protocol using either direct or reverse reconciliation. Our attack is proved to be feasible and renders all of the final key shared between the legitimate parties insecure, even if they have monitored the intensity of the local oscillator. To prevent our attack on commercial systems, a simple wavelength filter should be added before performing the monitoring detection.

description: Indexing is a well-known database technique used to facilitate data access and speed up query processing. Nevertheless, the construction and modification of indexes are very expensive. In traditional approaches, all records in the database table are equally covered by the index. It is not effective, since some records may be queried very often and some never. To avoid this problem, adaptive merging has been introduced. The key idea is to create index adaptively and incrementally as a side-product of query processing. As a result, the database table is indexed partially depending on the query workload. This paper faces a problem of adaptive merging for phase change memory (PCM). The most important features of this memory type are: limited write endurance and high write latency. As a consequence, adaptive merging should be investigated from the scratch. We solve this problem in two steps. First, we apply several PCM optimization techniques to the traditional adaptive merging approach. We prove that the proposed method (eAM) outperforms a traditional approach by 60%. After that, we invent the framework for adaptive merging (PAM) and a new PCM-optimized index. It further improves the system performance by 20% for databases where search queries interleave with data modifications.

description: Considering the kernel of an integral operator intertwining two realizations of the group of motions of the pseudo-Euclidian space, we derive two formulas for series containing Whittaker's functions or Weber's parabolic cylinder functions. We can consider this kernel as a special function. Some particular values of parameters involved in this special function are found to coincide with certain variants of Bessel functions. Using these connections, we also establish some analogues of orthogonality relations for Macdonald and Hankel functions.

description: The ubiquitous presence of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in modern electronic systems and embedded devices makes their integrity a top security concern. To take advantage of the economies of scale, today's PCB design and manufacturing are often performed by suppliers around the globe, exposing them to many security vulnerabilities along the segmented PCB supply chain. Moreover, the increasing complexity of the PCB designs also leaves ample room for numerous sneaky board-level attacks to be implemented throughout each stage of a PCB's lifetime, threatening many electronic devices. In this paper, we propose PDNPulse, a power delivery network (PDN) based PCB anomaly detection framework that can identify a wide spectrum of board-level malicious modifications. PDNPulse leverages the fact that the PDN's characteristics are inevitably affected by modifications to the PCB, no matter how minuscule. By detecting changes to the PDN impedance profile and using the Frechet distance-based anomaly detection algorithms, PDNPulse can robustly and successfully discern malicious modifications across the system. Using PDNPulse, we conduct extensive experiments on seven commercial-off-the-shelf PCBs, covering different design scales, different threat models, and seven different anomaly types. The results confirm that PDNPulse creates an effective security asymmetry between attack and defense.

description: Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) pollution has increased dramatically over recent decades, causing detrimental effects on coastal marine environments, where primary production is often limited by N. River networks are important linkages between watersheds and estuaries, and are also sites for N processing. At the interface between rivers and estuaries, tidal freshwater zones (TFZs) emerge. Because of tidal energy, flow slows down or can even reverse direction in TFZs, resulting in prolonged water residence times. Long water residence times make TFZs potential N cycling “hotspots”, modifying N fluxes immediately upstream of estuaries. However, N transport and transformations within TFZs have not been studied widely. This dissertation work explored spatial and temporal variations of N and phytoplankton in the TFZs of two south Texas rivers (the Mission and Aransas rivers). The results suggest that, on an annual basis, TFZs can be important sinks for total N under baseflow conditions. Along the TFZs, spatial gradients of N emerged downstream of major N inputs, where dissolved inorganic N (DIN) was transformed into organic forms, primarily through phytoplankton uptake. An in-depth analysis of the Aransas River system revealed temperature and nutrients as the primary controls of phytoplankton biomass and community composition. In winter, high nutrients (particularly DIN) supported high phytoplankton biomass, dominated by cryptophytes and diatoms. In summer, low-nutrient water supported lower biomass, and the community was dominated by cyanobacteria. Modeling of N transport and biogeochemical processing within the Aransas River provided additional insights about linkages between water residence times and processing effects at different locations – daily DIN uptake rates were highest at the upper Aransas River TFZ, but cumulative DIN uptake was much greater at the lower TFZ due to longer water residence time. As modeled DIN inputs increased, however, the capacity of the TFZ to retain N was challenged. The upper TFZ reached N saturation faster than the lower TFZ, and complete saturation of DIN for the whole system occurred with N inputs between 8 and 16 times the current levels. These elevated levels were equivalent to DIN discharged from a medium-sized city in this watershed, with a population of 300,000 – 640,000. This dissertation highlighted the role that TFZs play in retaining watershed-derived N at the river/estuary interface and provided insights on management of coastal eutrophication

description: Let $G = (V, E)$ be a finite simple undirected graph without $K_2$ components. A bijection $f : E \rightarrow \{1, 2,\cdots, |E|\}$ is called a local antimagic labeling if for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$, they have different vertex sums, i.e., $w(u) \neq w(v)$, where the vertex sum $w(u) = \sum_{e \in E(u)} f(e)$, and $E(u)$ is the set of edges incident to $u$. Thus any local antimagic labeling induces a proper vertex coloring of $G$ where the vertex $v$ is assigned the color (vertex sum) $w(v)$. The local antimagic chromatic number $χ_{la}(G)$ is the minimum number of colors taken over all colorings induced by local antimagic labelings of $G$. It was conjectured \cite{Aru-Wang} that for every tree $T$ the local antimagic chromatic number $l+ 1 \leq χ_{la} ( T )\leq l+2$, where $l$ is the number of leaves of $T$. In this article we verify the above conjecture for complete full $t$-ary trees, for $t \geq 2$. A complete full $t$-ary tree is a rooted tree in which all nodes have exactly $t$ children except leaves and every leaf is of the same depth. In particular we obtain that the exact value for the local antimagic chromatic number of all complete full $t$-ary trees is $ l+1$ for odd $t$.

title: Prime real estate: landscape, geography, and cultural anxieties in three western melodramas
Creators: name: Beare, Zachary
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
This essay examines the critical and narratological significance of landscape and geography in three American western films---John Ford's The Searchers (1956), Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood (2007), and Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino (2008). Drawing on ecocritical, feminist, and Marxist theory in addition to film and genre theory, this essay insists on seeing the multiple denotative and connotative meanings on 'landscape' in American cultural production. The essay examines landscape as an artistic tradition of composed and framed natural beauty, as physical place and inhabited systems, and as fraught geopolitical space. This essay argues that an analysis of landscape in these films exposes the intricate relationships between land use, state formation, American capitalism, racial and ethnic difference, national identity, and gender identity. This project highlights the ways that social, cultural, and philosophical attitudes about race, gender, and national identity are attitudes that are constructed and formed in relation to physical spaces and geographic conditions, and this project emphasizes the dialogic nature of the relationships between sociophilosophical attitudes and physical realities. The essay argues that such an examination is of special importance now at a historical moment when anxieties and discussions about land, border and national security, and environmental impact are heavily mediated and theorized in a range of critical discourse communities.

description: We present a real-space formulation for coarse-graining Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory that significantly speeds up the analysis of material defects without appreciable loss of accuracy. The approximation scheme consists of two steps. First, we develop a linear-scaling method that enables the direct evaluation of the electron density without the need to evaluate individual orbitals. We achieve this by performing Gauss quadrature over the spectrum of the linearized Hamiltonian operator appearing in each iteration of the self-consistent field method. Building on the linear-scaling method, we introduce a spatial approximation scheme resulting in a coarse-grained Density Functional Theory. The spatial approximation is adapted so as to furnish fine resolution where necessary and to coarsen elsewhere. This coarse-graining step enables the analysis of defects at a fraction of the original computational cost, without any significant loss of accuracy. Furthermore, we show that the coarse-grained solutions are convergent with respect to the spatial approximation. We illustrate the scope, versatility, efficiency and accuracy of the scheme by means of selected examples.
Quantization and non-quantization of energy for higher-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau vortices

description: Given a family of critical points $u_ε:M^n\to\mathbb{C}$ for the complex Ginzburg--Landau energies \begin{align*} &E_ε(u)=\int_{M}\left(\frac{|du|^2}{2}+\frac{(1-|u|^2)^2}{4ε^2}\right), \end{align*} on a manifold $M$, with natural energy growth $E_ε(u_ε)=O(|\logε| )$, it is known that the vorticity sets $\{|u_ε|\leq \frac{1}{2}\}$ converge subsequentially to the support of a stationary, rectifiable $(n-2)$-varifold $V$ in the interior, characterized as the concentrated portion of the limit $\lim_{ε\to 0} \frac{e_ε(u_ε)}{π|\logε| }$ of the normalized energy measures. When $n=2$ or the solutions $u_ε$ are energy-minimizing, it is known moreover that this varifold $V$ is integral; i.e., the $(n-2)$-density $Θ_{n-2}(|V|,x)$ of $|V|$ takes values in $\mathbb{N}$ at $|V|$-a.e. $x\in M$. In the present paper, we show that for a general family of critical points with $E_ε(u_ε)=O(|\logε| )$ in dimension $n\geq 3$, this energy quantization phenomenon only holds where the density is less than $2$: namely, we prove that the density $Θ_{n-2}(|V|,x)$ of the limit varifold takes values in $\{1\}\cup [2,\infty)$ at $|V|$-a.e. $x\in M$, and show that this is sharp, in the sense that for any $n\geq 3$ and $θ\in \{1\}\cup [2,\infty)$, there exists a family of critical points $u_ε$ for $E_ε$ in the ball $B_1^n(0)$ with concentration varifold $V$ given by an $(n-2)$-plane with density $θ$.

Insights into cell loss processes of toxic dinoflagellate Karenia brevis

description: Karenia brevis is responsible for annual harmful algal bloom (HAB) events in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Although the factors regulating the initiation of K. brevis blooms have been extensively investigated, the mechanisms leading to bloom decline and termination are not well known. Understanding the triggers of bloom decline could enhance our ability to forecast bloom dynamics and their impact on coastal areas. Microzooplankton grazing and programmed cell death (PCD) have been recognized as important pathways for the loss of phytoplankton biomass. However, neither of these two factors has been comprehensively examined in K. brevis. My dissertation work describes mechanisms of intrinsic cell death in response to environmental stress and develops methods to evaluate microzooplanton grazing pressure on K. brevis in the field. In Chapter 2, I confirmed the existence of PCD in K. brevis using oxidative stress as a model trigger. Acute susceptibility to oxidative stress increased as cultures aged, while the youngest cultures showed the fastest overall rate of cell loss within the first 24 hours. In untreated cells, the prevalence of components in the PCD cascade were not related to cell death, but fluctuated not only between growth phases but also over a diel cycle. Given that K. brevis likely experiences drastic environmental change during bloom season in the GoM, cell death processes in response to high light, hypo-osmotic, cooling and heat stress were described in Chapters 3 and 4. PCD in K. brevis only occurred at the largest light shift (50 to 1000 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹), along with induction of non-photochemical quenching which may enable cells to resist or delay PCD. Intensity-dependent induction of PCD cascade occurred when salinity decreased by 5, 10, or 15 psu, while cell death was only evident after 15 °C temperature change. Lastly, in Chapter 5 I describe the development of a quantitative real-time PCR method that can be used to measure species-specific grazing pressure on K. brevis. Overall, this work adds to our knowledge of cell loss processes in phytoplankton in general as well as insights into the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on the decline and termination of K. brevis blooms specifically
Exponential decay for sc-gradient flow lines

description: In this paper we introduce the notion of sc-action functionals and their sc-gradient flow lines. Our approach is inspired by Floer's unregularized gradient flow. The main result of this paper is that under a Morse condition sc-gradient flow lines have uniform exponential decay towards critical points. The ultimate goal for the future is to construct a M-polyfold bundle over a M-polyfold such that the space of broken sc-gradient flow lines is the zero set of a appropriate sc-section. Here uniform exponential decay is essential. Of independent interest is that we derive exponential decay estimates using interpolation inequalities as opposed to Sobolev inequalities. An advantage is that interpolation inequalities are independent of the dimension of the source space.

description: An operating system kernel uses cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator for creating address space localization randomization offsets to protect memory addresses to processes from exploration, storing users' password securely and creating cryptographic keys. The paper proposes a CSPRNG called KCS-PRNG which produces non-reproducible bitstreams. The proposed KCS-PRNG presents an efficient design uniquely configured with two new non-standard and verified elliptic curves and clock-controlled linear feedback shift registers and a novel method to consistently generate non-reproducible random bits of arbitrary lengths. The generated bit streams are statistically indistinguishable from true random bitstreams and provably secure, resilient to important attacks, exhibits backward and forward secrecy, exhibits exponential linear complexity, large period and huge key space.

description: The dependence of the ultrasonic attenuation on the direction of magnetic field in an intermediate state of the very pure Gallium single crystal, in the case, when the magnetic field H is perpendicular to the wave vector k at the temperature T = 0.5 K, is found to be anomalously different from the dependence, observed at the same temperature and the magnitude of magnetic field equal to the critical magnetic field H=Hc in a normal state of superconductor. This new phenomenon can be explained, considering the anisotropy of the Fermi surface in the very pure Gallium single crystal.
