The Effects of Ovarian Hormones and Exercise on Gene Markers of Cardiac Dysfunction
Creators: name: Patel, Anisha S
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women in the United States. Premenopausal women appear to have better cardiac function and lower risk of heart disease compared to male postmenopausal female counterparts. Ovarian hormone loss influences blood pressure homeostasis and causes systemic inflammation, which may result in chronic stress on the heart. Two key physiological changes in cardiac dysfunction are reemergence of the fetal gene pattern and myocardial remodeling. Physical activity has been linked to improved cardiac function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ovariectomy on early markers of cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis and to determine if voluntary physical activity alters expression patterns in ovariectomized mice. We investigated the effects of ovariectomy and exercise on cardiac expression of fetal genes and markers and mediators of fibrosis in two cohorts of 8-10 week old female mice. Ovariectomized mice had greater expression of cardiac fetal genes and real time-PCR (RT-PCR) results indicated activation of the fibrosis pathway. Exercise was able to influence the expression of some markers of cardiac dysfunction. We concluded that ovarian hormone loss and associated physiological changes such as increased adiposity and systemic inflammation trigger early changes in cardiac gene expression that precede overt cardiac dysfunction.

description: A phytochemical investigations on the n-butanol fraction of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. residues resulted in the isolation of ten compounds, including two new ones, 4,4′dimethoxy-2,2′di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-truxinate (1) and 2-(β-d-glucosyloxy)-trans-cinnamic acid butyl ester (2), along with eight known compounds. The structures of compounds were confirmed by NMR and HR-ESI-MS techniques and comparison with published data. The NMR data for 3 were attributed for the first time. Compound 2 was proofed to be a natural compound in plant rather than a butyl ester artifact formed by esterification reaction with butanol by comparative HPLC-DAD analysis with the ethanol extract which was obtained prior to the application of butanol. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant and anti-hypoglycaemic activities. Among them, compounds 4 and 5 showed strong anti-oxidant activities against DPPH with IC50 values of 12.99 and 31.74 μM, respectively. Compound 5 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against PTP1B with an IC50 value of 31.28 μM.

description: We have studied the effect of local Coulomb interactions on the electronic structure of the molecular magnet Mn12-acetate within the LDA+U approach. The account of the on-site repulsion results in a finite energy gap and an integer value of the molecule's magnetic moment, both quantities being in a good agreement with the experimental results. The resulting magnetic moments and charge states of non-equivalent manganese ions agree very well with experiments. The calculated values of the intramolecular exchange parameters depend on the molecule's spin configuration, differing by 25-30% between the ferrimagnetic ground state and the completely ferromagnetic configurations. The values of the ground-state exchange coupling parameters are in reasonable agreement with the recent data on the magnetization jumps in megagauss magnetic fields. Simple estimates show that the obtained exchange parameters can be applied, at least qualitatively, to the description of the spin excitations in Mn12-acetate.

description: Motivated by the short-baseline neutrino oscillation anomalies that suggest the existence of sterile neutrinos at the eV scale, we construct a scenario of a seesaw mechanism for 3+1 light neutrinos implemented by warped compactification of an extra dimension. As the seesaw mechanism necessitates at least two right-handed neutrinos at mass scales much larger than eV, incorporating an eV-scale sterile neutrino into a seesaw entails large mass hierarchies among the singlet neutrinos. We show that such hierarchies can be naturally explained by moderate fluctuations of the five-dimensional fermion mass parameters.

The Effectiveness of Explicit Instruction Versus Implicit Instruction Method on Chinese Grammar Acquisition
Creators: name: Peng, Fuyang
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: In the past century, grammar instruction has aroused debate among scholars and instructors in the field of second language teaching and acquisition without absolute consensus. However, for the acquisition of Chinese grammar by adult L2 learners, there is wider acceptance that grammar should be taught due to the unique Chinese grammatical features. The issue in question is merely on how to teach Chinese grammar effectively. Hence, inspired by many other comparative studies on explicit and implicit instruction methods for teaching Western languages such as English, French, Spanish and so forth, the researcher conducted an empirical study to investigate the effectiveness of the two instruction methods on Chinese grammar acquisition.
The current study consisted of two experiments, involving two target forms: Affirmative-Negative Questions (A-Not-A Questions) and the perfective aspect particle LE (了). The participants were beginning level Chinese language learners who studied Chinese as a second language in two class sections of the Elementary Non-intensive Chinese Class at a large public university. They formed two comparative groups naturally. During the two experiments, the explicit group was provided with explicit knowledge of grammar patterns, examples carrying the patterns and opportunities to practice with the teacher’s explicit corrective feedback, while implicit group received input without any grammatical knowledge or explanation. The teacher would give recast feedback (implicit) if students made mistakes in their practice. Importantly, the explicit and implicit teaching groups were reversed in the second experiment, in order to enable each group to be exposed to both the explicit and the implicit teaching conditions.
Analysis of the results obtained from immediate-tests and delayed post-tests yielded three main findings: first, learners who had received explicit grammar instruction treatment overall gained greater improvement in their knowledge of, and their ability to use the target forms in the short term; second, when it comes to longer-term effects, both groups in the two experiments showed loss, in varying degrees, in the knowledge of and the ability to use the target forms; third, explicit instruction was of more advantage for L2 Chinese learners when they are learning more complex rules.
Building for the Future: Revitalization through Architecture
Creators: name: Perry, Rebecca N
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: This thesis focuses on the revitalization of a once thriving manufacturing city, Gardner, Massachusetts. In the past the city of Gardner was rich with furniture manufacturers. Over the years the manufacture of furniture has left Gardner. The goal of this thesis is to reinvigorate the furniture making and craft back into Gardner. The proposed revitalization of the town was furthered through teaching and the design and production of a new product line. The renovation and retrofit of an existing now abandoned, building. Designing to meet the strategies, methods, and processes of furniture production; merged with an architecture meant to signal both respect for the history of Gardner and a new revitalization; designing from the inside – out.
Thoughts about sustainability and environmental design are incorporated into the design. There are a multitude of new building practices and strategies that are explored and will be used to try and form a design that could unite usability, function, aesthetics, and comfort as well as meeting current code and ADA requirements, through retrofitting an existing building. Teaching the former craft of furniture making will ignite revitalization in the downtown area. A new form of universally designed furniture making will be taught and practiced in the facility.

However the procedure must be carried out with due care, paying great attention to correct numerator factors.

Arctic Environmental Change across the Pliocene-Pleistocene Transition
Creators: name: Keisling, Benjamin Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Environmental change in the Arctic proceeds at an unprecedented rate. The Pliocene epoch (5-2.65 million years ago) represents an analog for future climate conditions, with pCO2 and continental configurations similar to present. Yet conditions in the Pliocene Arctic are poorly characterized because of sparse sampling. The records that do exist indicate periods of extreme warmth, as well as the first expansion of large ice-sheets in the Northern Hemisphere, took place from the end of the Pliocene into the early Pleistocene. Understanding these deposits and their implications for our future requires developing a sense of climatic evolution across the Plio-Pleistocene transition and especially during the intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation (iNHG) ~2.7 million years ago. Here we reconstruct environmental change in the Arctic using a suite of organic geochemical proxies in a sedimentary archive recovered from Lake El'gygytgyn, Arctic Northeast Russia. We use the distribution of branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) and the hydrogen isotopic composition (δD) of plant leaf-waxes (n-alkanes) to reconstruct relative temperature change across the interval spanning 2.8 to 2.4 million years ago. Our work demonstrates that, following the first major glaciation of the Northern Hemisphere, it took multiple glacial cycles for the Arctic to become synchronized with the climatic changes recorded in the deep ocean. This work has implications for understanding the role of sea-level, sea-ice, vegetation and carbon-cycle feedbacks in a changing Arctic.

description: A comparison of the performance of various machine learning models to predict the direction of a wall following robot is presented in this paper. The models were trained using an open-source dataset that contains 24 ultrasound sensors readings and the corresponding direction for each sample. This dataset was captured using SCITOS G5 mobile robot by placing the sensors on the robot waist. In addition to the full format with 24 sensors per record, the dataset has two simplified formats with 4 and 2 input sensor readings per record. Several control models were proposed previously for this dataset using all three dataset formats. In this paper, two primary research contributions are presented. First, presenting machine learning models with accuracies higher than all previously proposed models for this dataset using all three formats. A perfect solution for the 4 and 2 inputs sensors formats is presented using Decision Tree Classifier by achieving a mean accuracy of 100%. On the other hand, a mean accuracy of 99.82% was achieves using the 24 sensor inputs by employing the Gradient Boost Classifier. Second, presenting a comparative study on the performance of different machine learning and deep learning algorithms on this dataset. Therefore, providing an overall insight on the performance of these algorithms for similar sensor fusion problems. All the models in this paper were evaluated using Monte-Carlo cross-validation.

Year: 2012
Subjects: Risk and Uncertainty

description: The supply and demand factors affecting the farm level price for Irish potatoes has undergone considerable change in the last two decades. On the demand side, per capita consumption has decreased by almost a half, and the use of potatoes has shifted from consumption of table stock potatoes towards greater levels of processed potato products. On the supply side, domestic production levels of potatoes decreased by just over 30 percent, whilst grower numbers decreased by greater than 75 percent over the same period. Against this background of significant changes in domestic consumption levels and patterns and domestic production of potatoes this paper examines the effect of these factors on potato price levels and variability. Farm level price and volatility is a concern for a number of reasons as it adds challenges for business planning, debt repayment, and, in some cases, solvency. Farm level price data and supply and use balance sheet data from Eurosta are used in an ARCH modelling framework to quantify and examine the factors affecting potato price mean levels and volatility.
Can Climate Change Fuelled Loss and Damage Ever be Fair?

description: This report discusses how much responsibility the wealthy countries behind the climate crisis must take for the devastating impact that rising global temperatures are already having on developing nations. It finds that the US and EU are jointly responsible for more than half (54%) the cost of repairing the damage caused by climate disasters in the Global South.
It highlights how the world needs to establish effective responses to climate disasters, remake global food systems to be resilient in the face of destabilised ecosystems, and respond to increasingly frequent migrant crises in ways that protect the rights of those forced to leave their homes. The report shows that the first step is for wealthy countries to immediately begin providing public climate finance, based on their responsibility and capacity to act, to support not only adaptation, but to also address the loss and damage already being caused by the climate crisis.
 The civil society organisations calculated countries’ ‘fair share’ of responsibility using an equity analysis, based on countries' capacity to take climate action, based on national income while taking into account what is needed to provide basic living standards as well as their historic contributions to climate change through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Results of the equity analysis include the findings that the US owes at least 30% and the EU 24%, compared to India’s 0.5%.
 The report suggests that, based on available estimates of loss and damage costs in developing countries, new and additional finance of $50 billion should be provided by 2022, rising to a minimum of $300 billion by 2030.
EXPLORATION OF CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN URBAN PLAZA AND MIXED USE BUILDINGS
Creators: name: KIM, YOUNGDUK
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

description: Urbanization and development of cities is necessary in contemporary society, however, these advancements are also causing urban problems, such as lack of open green space, density problems, traffic problems, and over population.Also, existing buildings are often lacking certain functions that are currently needed since they have been designed in the past. Thus, plaza and mixed used buildings, which are considered as a unit space, are needed to mention for 'publicity' that is a part of urban components as a wide spatial concept. In particular, mixed used buildings as multiply functioned facilities are needed a specific study for 'publicity' and 'urban plaza'.
In general, the meaning of 'publicity' in a city seems to have started from 'agora', which is from ancient Greek. A plaza as an open space in a city was realized as a solution, which people have pursued in order to improve their psychological safety and deterioration of the physical environment. Furthermore, it was made by necessity that was able to gather people in a place and was an indicator space with culture, political, and social activity. Procuring a traffic space, which is increasing more in a city, is expressed based on declining plaza and maximizing land use, on the other hands, it indicatesthe importance of a way to vitalize social public space in urban life.
In addition, urban and social modernization has caused proliferation and concentration of urban services and,as a result of it,it has caused population increase and architectural densification. In brief, open spaces and streets for pedestrians have decreased. Expansion of buildings, reduction of streets, and degeneration of urban plazas have started to diminish the space for public activity. This has connected to fall quality of its macro- environment and consciousness of sharing, and thus the quality of the city has fallen as a result. The urban plaza is an important component of urban open space and the space, which can improve social community.
Thus, the objective of this study is to reconsider the concept 'publicity' in cities as a strategic space in order to vitalize the city. The study includes analyzing connectivity between urban plaza and architectural space and proposing design methods for a mixed use building which will improve interaction between urban context and the buildings.,
In conclusion, the study will be used to suggest a new solution for the urban design, which has had less connectivity by transportation and thoughtless development for the environment, in order to produce pleasant open space to enjoy public life for citizen focused on increasing practical use between people and their city's infrastructure with diverse function and psychological stability.

description: We study the relaxation dynamics of an extended Fermi-Hubbard chain with a strong Wannier-Stark potential tilt coupled to a bath. When the system is subjected to dephasing noise, starting from a pure initial state the system's total von Neumann entropy is found to grow monotonously. The scenario becomes rather different when the system is coupled to a thermal bath of finite temperature. Here, for sufficiently large field gradients and initial energies, the entropy peaks in time and almost reaches its largest possible value (corresponding to the maximally mixed state), long before the system relaxes to thermal equilibrium. This entropy peak signals a prethermal memory loss and, relative to the time where it occurs, the system is found to exhibit a simple scaling behavior in space and time. By comparing the system's dynamics to that of a simplified model, the underlying mechanism is found to be related to the localization property of the Wannier-Stark system, which favors dissipative coupling between eigenstates that are close in energy.

description: We investigate the importance of going beyond the mean-field approximation in the dynamics of collective neutrino oscillations. To expand our understanding of the coherent neutrino oscillation problem, we apply concepts from many-body physics and quantum information theory. Specifically, we use measures of nontrivial correlations (otherwise known as "entanglement") between the constituent neutrinos of the many-body system, such as the entanglement entropy and the Bloch vector of the reduced density matrix. The relevance of going beyond the mean field is demonstrated by comparisons between the evolution of the neutrino state in the many-body picture vs the mean-field limit, for different initial conditions.

description: We consider the steady states of a driven inelastic Maxwell gas consisting of two types of particles with scalar velocities. Motivated by experiments on bilayers where only one layer is driven, we focus on the case when only one of the two types of particles are driven externally, with the other species receiving energy only through inter-particle collision. The velocity $v$ of a particle that is driven is modified to $-r_w v+η$, where $r_w$ parameterises the dissipation upon the driving and the noise $η$ is taken from a fixed distribution. We characterize the statistics for small velocities by computing exactly the mean energies of the two species, based on the simplifying feature that the correlation functions are seen to form a closed set of equations. The asymptotic behaviour of the velocity distribution for large speeds is determined for both components through a combination of exact analysis for a range of parameters or obtained numerically to a high degree of accuracy from an analysis of the large moments of velocity. We show that the tails of the velocity distribution for both types of particles have similar behaviour, even though they are driven differently. For dissipative driving ($r_w<1$), the tails of the steady state velocity distribution show non-universal features and depend strongly on the noise distribution. On the other hand, the tails of the velocity distribution are exponential for diffusive driving ($r_w=1$) when the noise distribution decays faster than exponential.

description: A simple and consistent real time analysis of the long-wavelength chiral condensate fields in the background of hard thermal modes is presented in the framework of the linear sigma model. Effective evolution equations are derived for the inhomogeneous condensate fields coupled to a heat bath. Multiple effects of the thermal background on the disoriented chiral condensate are studied using linear response theory. We determine the temperature dependence of the equilibrium condensate, and examine the modification of the sigma and pion dispersion relations as these mesons traverse a hot medium. We calculate the widths by determining the dissipative coefficients at nonzero temperature at one- and two-loop order with resummed meson masses. Our results show that not only decay processes, but elastic scattering processes are significant at high temperatures, yielding to short relaxation times in the phase transition region. The relaxation times obtained are shorter than in previous estimates, making the observation of DCC signals questionable. Throughout this work Goldstone's Theorem is fulfilled when chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken.

description: We report the first-principles study on the H-intercalated Cr-based superconductor KCr$_3$As$_3$H$_x$. Our results show a paramagnetic ground state for KCr$_3$As$_3$H. The electronic structure consists of two quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) Fermi-surfaces and one 3D Fermi-surface which are mainly contributed by Cr-d$_{z^2}$, d$_{x^2-y^2}$ and d$_{xy}$ orbitals. The bare electron susceptibility shows a $Γ$-centered imaginary peak, indicating possible ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. Upon moderate hole doping, the system undergoes a Lifshitz transition, which may enhance the Q1D feature of the system. The Bader charge analysis and electron localization functions reveal a strong bonding nature of hydrogen in KCr$_3$As$_3$H, which results in a nontrivial electron doping in KCr$_3$As$_3$H.
Bridging the Gap: Community-Oriented Transit Development
Creators: name: Jones, Matthew C
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: The bedroom community has become a prevalent and oft-criticized part of the modern architectural landscape. These suburban towns have continually grown radially outward from major cities across the nation since the end of the Second World War. While these suburbs have served to fulfill housing needs and wants of society, pressure to develop has often forced this growth to occur at a much more rapid rate than a traditional community. This rapid development has led to poorly implemented infrastructure, especially with regard to walkability and public transportation, which has fallen short of meeting the needs of users. These solutions in turn have contributed to the automotive dependence of society, despite the numerous detrimental effects this engenders, such as waste of natural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and increased congestion of roadways. This has led many within the architectural community to push for a shift away from the suburbs due to their lack of sustainability, especially when compared to urban environments. However, the reality of the situation which our society faces does not enable us to simply abandon the suburbs in a mass exodus to city centers. Even if it did, there is a large percentage of the population which simply likes suburbia and its associated lifestyle. If this is the case, then, there needs to be a shift in the way transit is implemented within these communities. This thesis will examine how improving access to transit can revitalize bedroom communities and better serve their residents. Through examining the town of Beacon, NY, a bedroom community serving New York City and currently underutilizing its existing transit infrastructure, this thesis will explore how architecture can integrate mass transit into lives and daily activities of a community in order to better serve its residents and reduce automotive dependency.

description: As the development of topological band theory, comprehensive databases about time reversal and crystalline symmetries protected nonmagnetic topological materials were developed via first-principles calculations recently. However, owing to the low symmetry requirement of Weyl points, the symmetry-based topological indicator cannot be applied to Weyl semimetals (WSMs). Hitherto, the WSMs with Weyl points in arbitrary positions are still absent in the well-known databases. In this work, we develop an efficient algorithm to search for Weyl points automatically and establish a database of nonmagnetic WSMs with Weyl points near Fermi level based on the total experimental noncentrosymmetric crystal structures in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD). Totally 46 Weyl semimetals were discovered to have nearly clean Fermi surface and Weyl points near Fermi level within 300 meV, and 9 of them are chiral structures which may host the quantized circular photogalvanic effect. In addition, the nonlinear optical response is studied and giant shift current is explored in the end. Besides nonmagnetic WSMs, our powerful tools can also be used in the discovery of magnetic topological materials.

description: Using a connection between the $q$-oscillator algebra and the coefficients of the high temperature expansion of the frustrated Gaussian spin model, we derive an exact formula for the number of closed random walks of given length and area, on a hypercubic lattice, in the limit of infinite number of dimensions. The formula is investigated in detail, and asymptotic behaviours are evaluated. The area distribution in the limit of long loops is computed. As a byproduct, we obtain also an infinite set of new, nontrivial identities.

description: Scatterplots are frequently scaled to fit display areas in multi-view and multi-device data analysis environments. A common method used for scaling is to enlarge or shrink the entire scatterplot together with the inside points synchronously and proportionally. This process is called geometric scaling. However, geometric scaling of scatterplots may cause a perceptual bias, that is, the perceived and physical values of visual features may be dissociated with respect to geometric scaling. For example, if a scatterplot is projected from a laptop to a large projector screen, then observers may feel that the scatterplot shown on the projector has fewer points than that viewed on the laptop. This paper presents an evaluation study on the perceptual bias of visual features in scatterplots caused by geometric scaling. The study focuses on three fundamental visual features (i.e., numerosity, correlation, and cluster separation) and three hypotheses that are formulated on the basis of our experience. We carefully design three controlled experiments by using well-prepared synthetic data and recruit participants to complete the experiments on the basis of their subjective experience. With a detailed analysis of the experimental results, we obtain a set of instructive findings. First, geometric scaling causes a bias that has a linear relationship with the scale ratio. Second, no significant difference exists between the biases measured from normally and uniformly distributed scatterplots. Third, changing the point radius can correct the bias to a certain extent. These findings can be used to inspire the design decisions of scatterplots in various scenarios.

description: We study the correlations between the particles emitted by a moving mirror. To this end, we first analyze $< T_{μν}(x) T_{αβ}(x') >$, the two-point function of the stress tensor of the radiation field. In this we generalize the work undertaken by Carlitz and Willey. To further analyze how the vacuum correlations on $I^-$ are scattered by the mirror and redistributed among the produced pairs of particles, we use a more powerful approach based on the value of $T_{μν}$ which is conditional to the detection of a given particle on $I^+$. We apply both methods to the fluxes emitted by a uniformly accelerated mirror. This case is particularly interesting because of its strong interferences which lead to a vanishing flux, and because of its divergences which are due to the infinite blue shift effects associated with the horizons. Using the conditional value of $T_{μν}$, we reveal the existence of correlations between created particles and their partners in a domain where the mean fluxes and the two-point function vanish. This demonstrates that the scattering by an accelerated mirror leads to a steady conversion of vacuum fluctuations into pairs of quanta. Finally, we study the scattering by two uniformly accelerated mirrors which follow symmetrical trajectories (i.e. which possess the same horizons). When using the Davies-Fulling model, the Bogoliubov coefficients encoding pair creation vanish because of perfectly destructive interferences. When using regularized amplitudes, these interferences are inevitably lost thereby giving rise to pair creation.

description: The publishing business in the Edo period (1603 – 1868) was very unique since it was divided into two genres: shomotsu mononohon and jihon kusazōshi. Publishers had their specialties and their business strategies varied. In this research paper, I examine the publishing strategies from the view of the network system. First, I state the definition of this network. Next, I study the publishing history of the Edo period to gain a general understanding. Lastly, I examine the network systems of the shomotsu publishers and the jihon kusazōshi publishers. I use examples from Tsutaya Jūzaburō, Suharaya Mohē, Tsuruya Kiemon, the Torii School and the Utagawa School. In the end, the readers will understand the various networks had the roles to energize the Edo community, and each network was indispensable among the whole big network system.
