Sublime Truth and the Senses: Titian's "Poesie" for King Philip II of Spain. Marie Tanner. London: Harvey Miller, 2018. 232 pp. EUR110.
Venue: Renaissance Quarterly
Year: 2021

Cecilia, his future wife and the mother of his two sons, Pomponio and Orazio. Again, it isn't really possible to prove or to disprove this biographical reading. Our possible objections are, though, deflected by Loh's own throwaway description of her idea as "an informed art historical fantasy at best" (19) Where, she thus seems to ask, are the boundaries between fact and fantasy in making an interpretation of a picture? Loh tells us early on that she would like to present Titian as a painter philosopher. But many of her best analyses reveal instead Titian's primary concern with more immediate things: with his materials, for example, and with the depiction of a vast range of the surfaces and stuffs, as well as living beings, both human and animal, all presented as if from life, unique and individual. Perhaps he was, after all, a marvelous imitator of nature, as his great friend Aretino and so many since have noted. There is something altogether more material, tactile, and worldly about Titian than Loh's philosopher idea would allow. But once again she does not insist on this too much. And as a contemporary primer for how to look at paintings, Loh's embedded approach (always varying and shifting perspectives) is particularly impressive. Alighting on an overlooked detail or quarrying down an obscure specialism of local material practice (silk production, ring culture, dog breeding, falconry, etc. Loh nearly always manages to say something interesting or new. Rather than rigidly pursuing a thesis, the very lightness of Loh's birdlike flitting across the surfaces of Titian's art entails, rather, a principle of deflection: the postmodern standing off from commitment to any one line of argument and the weightlessness this allows. I must, finally, admit that when I returned to my own thesis driven monograph on Titian, issued by the same publishers (Tom Nichols, Titian and the End of the Venetian Renaissance [2013] the experience was somewhat chastening. Loh's nonchalant ingenuity and fluid wit, along with her ability to inventively defamiliarize even the most discussed among the great master's works, has opened up the way for a new kind of Titian whose more immediate realities his long love affair with Cecilia or his obsession with babies, dogs, fur, jewelry, and clothing are, after all, much more appealing than the aspects I had highlighted: his ferocious individualism, professional jealousy, and old age avarice.

Staged cost optimization of urban storm drainage systems based on hydraulic performance in a changing environment
Year: 2008

Urban flooding causes large economic losses, property damage and loss of lives. The impact of environmental changes, mainly urbanization and climatic change, leads to increased runoff and peak flows which the drainage system must be able to cope with to reduce potential damage and inconvenience. Allowing for detention storage to compliment the conveyance capacity of the drainage system network is one of the approaches to reduce urban floods. Contemporary practice is to design systems against stationary environmental forcings including design rainfall, landuse, etc. Due to the rapid change in the climate and the urban environment, this approach is no longer appropriate, and explicit consideration of gradual changes during the life time of the drainage system is warranted. In this paper, a staged cost optimization tool based on the hydraulic performance of the drainage system is presented. A one dimensional hydraulic model is used for hydraulic evaluation of the network together with a genetic algorithm based optimization tool to determine optimal intervention timings and responses over the analysis period. The model was applied in a case study area in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. It was concluded that considerable financial savings and/or additional level of flood safety can be achieved by approaching the design problem as a staged plan rather than one off scheme.
Data driven PID gain tuning for liquid level control of a single tank based on disturbance attenuation fictitious reference iterative tuning
Venue: 2015 15th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)
Year: 2015

A direct design approaches based on input output measurements with no need for help from a plant model have attracted attention from several researchers. We have proposed such a disturbance attenuation Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT) using input output data generated by step type disturbances, and showed the effectiveness of the approach through experiments of DC motor control and helicopter attitude control. The paper applies the approach to the experimental data for liquid level control of a single tank. The PID gains are tuned so that the liquid level of the single tank would follow a disturbance reference model output. From the experimental result, the disturbance attenuation FRIT is effective for PID gain tuning from closed loop input and output experimental data generated by a step type disturbance.
COVID 19 Severity Is Tripled in the Diabetes Community: A Prospective Analysis of the Pandemic's Impact in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Venue: Diabetes Care
Year: 2020

To quantify and contextualize the risk for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) related hospitalization and illness severity in type 1 diabetes.  We conducted a prospective cohort study to identify case subjects with COVID 19 across a regional health care network of 137 service locations. Using an electronic health record query, chart review, and patient contact, we identified clinical factors influencing illness severity.  We identified COVID 19 in 6,138, 40, and 273 patients without diabetes and with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively. Compared with not having diabetes, people with type 1 diabetes had adjusted odds ratios of 3.90 (95% CI 1.75 8.69) for hospitalization and 3.35 (95% CI 1.53 7.33) for greater illness severity, which was similar to risk in type 2 diabetes. Among patients with type 1 diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) hypertension, race, recent diabetic ketoacidosis, health insurance status, and less diabetes technology use were significantly associated with illness severity.  Diabetes status, both type 1 and type 2, independently increases the adverse impacts of COVID 19. Potentially modifiable factors (e.g. HbA1c) had significant but modest impact compared with comparatively static factors (e.g. race and insurance) in type 1 diabetes, indicating an urgent and continued need to mitigate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection risk in this community.
Mobile Landscapes: Using Location Data from Cell Phones for Urban Analysis
Year: 2006

The technology for determining the geographic location of cell phones and other handheld devices is becoming increasingly available. It is opening the way to a wide range of applications, collectively referred to as location based services (LBS) that are primarily aimed at individual users. However, if deployed to retrieve aggregated data in cities, LBS could become a powerful tool for urban analysis. In this paper we aim to review and introduce the potential of this technology to the urban planning community. In addition, we present the 'Mobile Landscapes' project: an application in the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy, based on the geographical mapping of cell phone usage at different times of the day. The results enable a graphic representation of the intensity of urban activities and their evolution through space and time. Finally, a number of future applications are discussed and their potential for urban studies and planning is assessed.
EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY ON MOTIVATION IN EFL CLASSROOMS
Year: 2009

In language classrooms, being in unnatural conversational situations, students need motivation more than other learning milieus. Teachers try to capture the attention of students through various methods and techniques. Many researchers in EFL teaching profession have stated that good motivation has appositive effect on foreign language learning. The purpose of this study is to explore how technology could be used to increase students' motivation in EFL classrooms. For this purpose; a questionnaire was administered to a group of students at Akdeniz University Preparatory Classes in 2007 2008 academic year. As a result it was found out that technology was a dynamic and challenging motivating factor in EFL classrooms and there may be some suggestions focusing on the achievement of learning objectives.
Method Pair Enumerator Clone Method Pairs Non clone Method Pairs
Year: 2017

Programmers produce code clones when developing software. By copying and pasting code with or without modification, developers reuse existing code to improve programming productivity. However, code clones present challenges to software maintenance: they may require consistent application of the same or similar bug fixes or program changes to multiple code locations. To simplify the maintenance process, various tools have been proposed to automatically detect clones       Some tools tokenize source code, and then compare the sequence or frequency of tokens to reveal clones     Some other tools detect clones using tree matching algorithms to compare the Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) of source code [2]  In this paper, we present CCLEARNER, the first solely token based clone detection approach leveraging deep learning. CCLEARNER extracts tokens from known method level code clones and nonclones to train a classifier, and then uses the classifier to detect clones in a given codebase. To evaluate CCLEARNER, we reused BigCloneBench  an existing large benchmark of real clones. We used part of the benchmark for training and the other part for testing, and observed that CCLEARNER effectively detected clones. With the same data set, we conducted the first systematic comparison experiment between CCLEARNER and three popular clone detection tools. Compared with the approaches not using deep learning, CCLEARNER achieved competitive clone detection effectiveness with low time cost. Keywords deep learning; clone detection; empirical
Condensing boiler applications in the process industry
Year: 2012

Major challenging issues such as climate change, energy prices and fuel security have focussed the attention of process industries on their energy efficiency and opportunities for improvement. The main objective of this research study was to investigate technologies needed to exploit the large amount of low grade heat available from a flue gas condensing system through industrial condensing boilers. The technology and application of industrial condensing boilers in various heating systems were extensively reviewed. As the condensers require site specific engineering design, a case study was carried out to investigate the feasibility (technically and economically) of applying condensing boilers in a large scale district heating system (40 MW) The study showed that by recovering the latent heat of water vapour in the flue gas through condensing boilers, the whole heating system could achieve significantly higher efficiency levels than conventional boilers. In addition to waste heat recovery, condensing boilers can also be optimised for emission abatement, especially for particle removal. Two technical barriers for the condensing boiler application are corrosion and return water temperatures. Highly corrosion resistant material is required for condensing boiler manufacture. The thermal design of a "case study" single pass shell and tube condensing heat exchanger/condenser showed that a considerable amount of thermal resistance was on the shell side. Based on the case study calculations, approximately 4900 m 2 of total heat transfer area was required, if stainless steel was used as a construction material. If the heat transfer area was made of carbon steel, then polypropylene could be used as the corrosion resistant coating material outside the tubes. The addition of polypropylene coating increased the tube wall thermal resistance, hence the required heat transfer area was approximately 5800 m 2 Net Present Value (NPV) calculations showed that the choice of a carbon steel condenser ensured cash return in a relatively shorter period of time (i.e. 2 years) when compared to a stainless steel condenser (i.e. 5 7 years) Moreover, the NPV for the stainless steel was more sensitive to the change of the interest rate.
Batch effects in single cell RNA sequencing data are corrected by matching mutual nearest neighbors
Venue: Nature Biotechnology
Year: 2018

Large scale single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA seq) data sets that are produced in different laboratories and at different times contain batch effects that may compromise the integration and interpretation of the data. Existing scRNA seq analysis methods incorrectly assume that the composition of cell populations is either known or identical across batches. We present a strategy for batch correction based on the detection of mutual nearest neighbors (MNNs) in the high dimensional expression space. Our approach does not rely on predefined or equal population compositions across batches; instead, it requires only that a subset of the population be shared between batches. We demonstrate the superiority of our approach compared with existing methods by using both simulated and real scRNA seq data sets. Using multiple droplet based scRNA seq data sets, we demonstrate that our MNN batch effect correction method can be scaled to large numbers of cells.
Fashion retail supply chain management: A review of operational models
Year: 2019

Over the past decades, we have witnessed the rapid development of giant fashion brands in the retail market which inspires a lot of operational research (OR) studies in fashion retail supply chains (FRSCs) In fact, FRSCs are highly consumer demand driven and face many operational challenges coming from high demand and supply side uncertainties. Realizing the significance of fashion retail supply chain management (FRSCM) and a lack of comprehensive review on the topic, we develop this paper which examines the operational models on FRSCM in the mainstream OR literature. We organize this review systematically with respect to the core functional areas of FRSCs, namely the manufacturer, retailer, consumer, and fashion retail supply chain system. In each functional area, insights regarding the related studies as well as the specific OR model features and assumptions are generated. Finally, we conclude the review by summarizing the major findings and proposing promising future research areas (from both OR modeling and practical perspectives)
Essays on financial frictions occupational choice and trade
Year: 2016

My dissertation consists of two chapters where I study the role of financial frictions and openness to trade on several macroeconomic variables such as gross domestic product or total factor productivity. In the first chapter, I study the effects that trade and multinational production barriers have on countries of different size. The gains from openness to trade and multinational production (MP) depend largely on country size. A large country may attract more foreign firms by closing itself to trade, while a small country may attract a larger amount of MP if trade costs with its neighbors are low because it can be used as an export platform. I develop a model to study these effects, where firms face non convex decisions of whether to serve a foreign country by exporting from the home country, exporting from a third country, or producing in the foreign country. I calibrate the model separately for South America and Europe. I find that the gains from openness in Europe double those in South America, and that the distribution of these gains varies less with size in South America. I also find that MP is more important in explaining the gains from openness in large countries, but the export platform mechanism is more important in small countries. Finally, I find that trade and MP have important implications for the size distribution of firms.In the second chapter, which is joint with Andres Erosa, we study the effects of financial frictions on occupational choice decisions and on economic inequality. To address this question, we develop a quantitative theory of entrepreneurship, income inequality, and financial frictions disciplined with household data from Brazil. Our theory extends Lucas (1978) by modeling heterogeneity in two skills: ?working and managerial skills. Consistently with the evidence, the theory implies three occupational categories: workers, employers, and self employed entrepreneurs. We find that the removal of financial frictions decreases self employment rates from 24% to 11% (with small effects on the number of employers) increases aggregate output by 48% and has non trivial effects on the distribution of income. We also find that while most households benefit from a reform that eliminates enforcement problems, the majority of employers (about two thirds) lose from the reform. By depressing the demand for labor, limited enforcement depresses the equilibrium wage rate, increasing the profits of employers. Our theory thus suggests that employers in Brazil may have a vested interested in maintaining a status quo with low enforcement.
Can peer education improve beliefs, knowledge, motivation and intention to engage in falls prevention amongst community dwelling older adults?
Venue: European journal of ageing
Year: 2017

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of delivering a contemporary peer led falls prevention education presentation on community dwelling older adults' beliefs, knowledge, motivation and intention to engage in falls prevention strategies. A two group quasi experimental pre test post test study using a convenience sample was conducted. A new falls prevention training package for peer educators was developed, drawing on contemporary adult learning and behaviour change principles. A 1 h presentation was delivered to community dwelling older adults by peer educators trained with the new package (intervention group) Control group participants received an existing, 1 h falls prevention presentation by trained peer educators who had not received the adult learning and behaviour change training. Participants in both groups completed a purpose developed questionnaire at pre presentation, immediately post presentation and at one month follow up. Participants' levels of beliefs, knowledge, motivation and intention were compared across these three points of time. Generalised estimating equations models examined associations in the quantitative data, while deductive content analysis was used for qualitative data. Participants (control n 99; intervention n 133) in both groups showed significantly increased levels of beliefs and knowledge about falls prevention, and intention to engage in falls prevention strategies over time compared to baseline. The intervention group was significantly more likely to report a clear action plan to undertake falls prevention strategies compared to the control group. Peer led falls prevention education is an effective approach for raising older adults' beliefs, knowledge and intention to engage in falls prevention strategies.
The effect of supplementation with polysaccharides, nucleotides, acidifiers and Bacillus strains in fish meal and soy bean based diets on growth performance in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)
Year: 2015

The investigation and application of a wide range of dietary supplements, such as probiotics, prebiotic and other additives, are increasingly popular in aquaculture research and practice. To date few studies have attempted to quantify the value of commercially available additives in improving growth performance of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and in compensating potential growth reduction resulting from high levels of plant protein (PP) in carnivorous fish diets. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of different active ingredients in diet additives on turbot. I) Five diets supplemented with (1) yeast b glucan and mannan oligosaccharides (GM) (2) alginic acid from brown algal extracts (AC) (3) yeast nucleotides and RNA (NR) (4) potassium diformate (PDF) and (5) bacteria strains Bacillus subtilis and B. licheniformis (BS) containing fish meal (FM) as the only protein source, were fed to turbots (initial weight 48.8 g 5.2 g) over 112 days. II) Four diets supplemented with (1) GM, (2) AC, (3) NR and (4) BS, containing soy protein concentrate (SPC) and wheat gluten (WG) as a partial replacement of FM, were fed to turbots (initial weight 95.8 g 17.7 g) over 84 days. A non supplemented FM diet (exp. I) and an FM and PP based diet (exp. II) respectively, were used as control diets. Diet additives did not promote additional weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR) daily feed intake (DFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in turbot fed FM or PP based diets (p 0.05) when compared to isocaloric control diets in both experiments. Growth of turbots fed the high FM content control diet (II) was significantly higher than all other treatments (p 0.05) Results indicate that reported benefits for specific diet additives cannot be assumed to function or applied across species boundaries and age classes. In addition, dietary additive application may not be economically valid for larger animals and/or animals not exposed to specific culture related stressors. The benefits of popular additives to high value species such as S. maximus remains to be tested under specific immune or physical stress situations and at crucial larval and early juvenile stages.
