▼ Non-negativity of the impulse response of a system (a.k.a. a monotonic step response system) is a widely required feature in many industrial applications. Although the importance of this feature has long been acknowledged, an in-depth understanding of the influence of this feature on the time and frequency domains is still not available. The problem of designing a high-performance filter with a non-negative impulse response (NNIR) therefore remains unsolved. This dissertation provides some studies on the influence of the NNIR feature on both the time and frequency domains. The problem is approached from two angles: (1) Restrictions on the frequency domain response imposed by a non-negative impulse response; (2) The pole-zero pattern of a transfer function that ensures a non-negative impulse response. In characterizing the frequency domain response of a linear NNIR system, it is found that due to the non-negativity constraint in the time-domain, the frequency domain has some unique fundamental properties that a conventional linear system does not possess. The significance of these fundamental properties is discussed. As a result, the gains at frequencies along the frequency axis are found to be related to each other inherently. Upper/lower bounds on the magnitude response within critical regions (frequency regions within which hard specifications are given) are derived. Based on these bounds, limitations in the frequency selectivity of various types of filters are analyzed and illustrated. The results explain the difficulties associated with non-negative impulse response filter design for systems other than lowpass filters. An approximation-based approach is presented for designing high-performance non-negative finite impulse response (NNFIR) lowpass filters, while NNFIR non-lowpass filters of various types can be obtained from a lowpass design via proposed transformations that preserve the NNIR feature. In exploring pole-zero patterns, this dissertation presents a set of sufficient conditions that ensure the non-negativity of the impulse response for several classes of arbitrary-order transfer functions. Such conditions are given for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Most of the existing work can be classified as a special case of these sufficient conditions. Also, for an arbitrary-order discrete-time system with complex poles and zeros, this dissertation presents a new set of sufficient conditions that ensures the non-negativity of its impulse response. With these sufficient conditions, the class of zero-pole patterns known to exhibit a non-negative impulse response is significantly expanded.

▼ Anthropogenic alterations to the global nitrogen (N) cycle have doubled reactive N flux into the biosphere and altered aquatic ecosystem function. Streams modify N loads carried to coastal ecosystems by converting N to organic forms or removing it as gaseous N. Understanding how streams transform N can offer insight to ecologists and land managers about how stream ecosystems function under elevated N loads. I researched how anthropogenic and landscape factors affect N transformations by studying streams in two distinct biomes and at multiple spatial scales. At the landscape scale, I studied N concentrations in streams draining the Teton Range (Wyoming, USA), a sub-alpine and alpine ecosystem with variable lithology. Streams draining crystalline geology had higher N compared to streams draining carbonate geology, which had more vegetation, suggesting that lithology mediated patterns in vegetation and terrestrial N retention. At the reach scale, I studied how land use influenced N uptake and transformation in Midwestern streams (Michigan, USA) and found that dissimilatory N transformation rates (i.e., nitrification and denitrification) within streams were not affected by riparian zones, which are commonly used to mitigate water quality degradation. Dissimilatory N transformation rates were always < 10% of whole-stream N uptake and nitrification rates balanced denitrification rates, implying that denitrification did not represent net N loss from the water column. At the substratum scale, sediment organic carbon content correlated with denitrification, but only when nitrate concentration exceeded a threshold. Finally, I returned to the Tetons and found that grazing activity by invasive snails can increase periphyton N fixation rates in a stream with low N concentrations. A synthesis of my findings from high N streams in the Midwest suggests that land-use practices have increased temporary N removal at the expense of permanent N removal. In the low N streams of the Tetons, observations from different spatial scales suggest that landscape factors that lower stream N concentrations and high rates of grazing together can influence the importance of N fixation in streams. My dissertation highlights multiple constraints on N processing in streams and emphasizes that basic ecological research can yield important results for management agencies.

▼ I argue for a reading of the Critique of Pure Reason that addresses several related inadequacies in Kant scholarship. First, I argue that the problem of skepticism with which the Critique is centrally concerned is not the problem of skepticism about the external world or about ordinary knowledge but rather the problem of skepticism about reason. This latter problem of skepticism, I argue, is rooted in the difficulty of providing a philosophical account of the faculty of theoretical reason that preserves its unity while at the same time doing justice to its various intrinsic, but seemingly incompatible aims. Second, I argue that, in order to understand the Critique as responding to this problem, we need to rethink this work as providing not just a metaphysics of experience but also a metaphysics of reason. I provide an account of the nature of theoretical reason that reveals its teleological structure, including the aims both of the understanding and of reason as the highest intellectual faculty. With this account I argue that Kant's positive theory of reason extends beyond the Transcendental Analytic and ultimately into the Antinomy of Pure Reason chapter of the Dialectic, where the problem of skepticism about reason and its eventual solution are fully articulated. Third, I offer a novel reading of Kant’s solution to the Antinomy by showing how Kant’s conception of belief is implicitly at work in it. With this reading I provide a new account of Kant's justification for the doctrine of transcendental idealism, understood metaphysically. That is, I argue that Kant's solution to the Antinomy and his completed account of the metaphysics of reason involves the justified assertion that there exists a non-spatial, non-temporal, unconditioned ground of nature—a thing in itself. My reading of Kant's account of the unity of theoretical reason has implications for Kant's account of the unity of reason as a whole. It shows Kant to have established a much tighter relation between theoretical and practical reason—and, with it, a more sophisticated and comprehensive response to the Enlightenment need for a rationally grounded account of faith—than is generally recognized in the literature.

▼ Throughout the nineteenth century, religious identity, national identity, and domesticity converge in the depiction of broken homes, foreign invaders, and homeless converts which abound in anti-Catholic literature. This literature imagines conversion to Roman or Anglo-Catholicism as simultaneously threatening the English home and the English nation through the adoption of the anti-domestic practices of celibacy and monasticism. However, constructions of conversion as a rejection of domesticity and English identity were not limited to anti-Catholic propaganda: mainstream novelists made use of stock anti-Catholic tropes for rather more complicated purposes. In light of this convergence between religion, nation, and home, this dissertation explores novels by John Henry Newman, Margaret Oliphant, Charlotte Yonge, and Charlotte Brontë in the context of mid-century journal and newspaper articles, court cases, religious tracts and popular anti-Catholic fiction. I argue that in literature concerned with Catholic conversion and the Tractarian movement, the trope of finding a home became a tool for imagining new domestic, religious, and national communities. Victorian constructions of English national identity and domesticity were always mutually constitutive, as domesticity was understood to be one of the identifying markers of "Englishness," while the home served as a microcosm of the nation. At the same time, as recent critics have shown, religious identity was an essential part of English national identity, and anti-Catholic literature used Roman Catholicism as an Other against which to construct a Protestant and domestic English identity. Pro-Catholic or pro-Tractarian novels, on the other hand, often sought to reshape English national identity, incorporating alternative versions of domesticity and alternative conceptions of the role of the church. While religion and domesticity are both firmly connected to national identity, the literature of Roman Catholic or Tractarian conversion was also invested in constructing transnational identities. The concept of Catholicity offered mid-century novelists a means through which to explore the possibility of communities that transcended national and denominational boundaries. From Newman's Catholic cosmopolitanism to Yonge's view of the communion of saints, religious conceptions of the universal allowed mid-century authors a way to construct identities that, while remaining firmly grounded in English identity, also reached beyond it.

▼ Hydrogen sulfide has in the last 15 years been elevated from its previous place as nothing more than a toxic gas to the status of ubiquitous gasotransmitter with numerous physiologic functions. In this thesis the focus is two-fold: whether H₂S functions as a gasotransmitter in blood and whether H₂S could act more locally as an endogenous oxygen sensor. The initial research presented here examines sulfide measurement techniques for biologic samples, and assessed their applicability for use in blood and plasma. It also shows the development of an amperometric means of conducting this research. It was found that the standard protocol for potentiometric measurement of sulfide in plasma is unsuitable for such use. The experimental conditions liberate sulfide from cysteines in plasma proteins, creating artificially high sulfide measurements. Using the methylene blue method we were unable to replicate blood sulfide measurements found in other studies, while showing unequivocally that this method should work in plasma if sulfide is present. The amperometric sensor developed here may be used in real time without altering the sample. Using this method we showed in blood from numerous animals that free H₂S is undetectable in blood and that blood consumes sulfide quite rapidly. The second portion of this research showed that tissues consume endogenously-produced H₂S oxygen-dependently and that the likely location of this consumption is in the mitochondria. The inhibitory level of oxygen was quite low, and the levels of cysteine required to stimulate measurable production were supraphysiologic, thus an attempt was made to develop a means of measuring intracellular sulfide. This was done through sulfide-sensitive Photonic Explorers for Bioanalysis with Biologically Localized Embedding (PEBBLE). PEBBLEs were produced in an organically-modified silica matrix using the sulfide-sensitive fluorescent dye fluorescein mercuric acetate. While the PEBBLEs were sensitive to H₂S and insensitive to cysteine, intracellular production of sulfide was not successfully demonstrated. H₂S may function as an oxygen sensor intracellularly, but it does not circulate in the blood and is unlikely to exist outside of localized pockets within cells due to rapid oxidation. Further work should be done to establish a means of intracellular measurement of H₂S.

▼ This dissertation examines the translational goals of LXX Ezekiel 40-48 in the light of two major developments in textual criticism in the past half-century: (1) the recognition that biblical corpora existed in variant literary editions in antiquity, associated with Eugene Ulrich, among others; and (2) the development of a bifurcated approach to Septuagint studies, in which one camp focuses on the reception-history of the Septuagint while the other focuses on the translator’s translation technique. The adoption of a functional theory of translation sketched by Reiβ and Vermeer (Skopostheorie) helps to mend this rift by focusing on the translator’s goals in rendering his source text for a specific community. Ezekiel 40-48 is seen as an operative text intended to persuade its readers of the truth it communicates. I argue that the translator rendered his source text with attention to its linguistic, grammatical and semantical structures, in a way meant to help his readers understand the Hebrew work (philological translation). The rhetorical effect of this method of of translation stressed the distance and authority of Ezekiel’s culminating prophecy. On the other hand, his task of persuasion compelled the translator to accommodate certain cultural aspects of Ezekiel’s vision to the Hellenistic tastes of his target readership, especially concerning architecture and proselytism. Despite this accommodation, I find no evidence for the actualizing exegesis sometimes discovered in LXX Ezekiel 40-48. Study of the translator’s method of rendering his source text suggests that pluses are to be attributed to the translator’s source text and not his own intervention unless suggested by weighty evidence. Based on this principle, analysis of the Vorlage of LXX Ezekiel 40-48 concludes that it preserves numerous secondary readings that harmonize Ezekiel’s final vision with his earlier ones and thereby interpret Ezekiel in terms of the prophet’s unique theology. This interpretation stands in contrast to the canonical interpretation of MT Ezekiel described by Jake Stromberg. On the other hand, a number of modernizing supplements bring the Hebrew text of Ezekiel 40-48 into conversation with developing Palestinian merkabah traditions (LXX Ezek 43:2-3) and the architecture of the Second Temple (LXX Ezek 40:38-40). Further study will be needed to determine how the generally shorter and earlier Vorlage of LXX Ezekiel 1-39 is to be related to the fuller and later Vorlage of LXX Ezekiel 40-48, but the minimum conclusion that can be drawn is that the LXX Vorlage of these chapters was the focus of intensive study in the last few centuries B.C.E.

▼ What are the key factors that determine ombudsman effectiveness in fragile democracies? Can a human rights ombudsman be effective at all without sanctioning powers in a context of institutional weakness? This dissertation addresses these fundamental questions. Instead of simply assuming the independence of ombudsman head officers based on the autonomy formally accorded to them in their respective constitutions and laws, this study analyzes and measures the actual behavioral independence demonstrated by the individuals that have served as ombudsman chief officers since the creation of the agency in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. This dissertation’s most important theoretical contribution to the field of comparative politics and to Latin American politics is that formal institutional arrangements did not explain the significant degrees of variance in effectiveness and in behavioral independence of ombudsman chief officers. My research shows instead that the ombudsman head officer’s political independence with relation to the government is the key to the perception of ombudsman effectiveness. While ombudsman head officers in Ecuador have relatively higher legal attributions, they were not willing to use such attributions because of fear of informal sanctions, specially the stagnation, reduction or even termination of public funding and/or removal from office. My findings pointed at the great significance of ombudsman head officers’ political independence in relation to the government and the political forces in Congress. The human rights ombudsman must be perceived as an impartial agency if it is to be effective. The support of the international donor community is another necessary condition when ombudsman funding is decided by the Executive. The additional funding provided by international agencies allowed ombudsman head officers in Bolivia and Peru to build a relative financial autonomy vis à vis the Executive. This study also shows that while having enough funding is obviously important, the source of the funding is more important than the total amount allocated, because it is the source of the funding what strengthens the chief officer’s independence with relation to the government.

▼ As robotic technology moves out of factories and into broader segments of society, it promises to support a revolutionary improvement in the general standard of living. One of the largest hurdles to this increased use of robotic technology, however, is the inability of current mobile robots to negotiate difficult and delicate terrain in ways that are fast, efficient, and safe. Examples in nature demonstrate the incredible potential of legged locomotion to fill this need, but legged robots have not yet reached this level of performance. This work moves the field toward a better understanding of the design of robust and efficient legged robots by exploring the concept of reaction wheel actuation. This concept consists of the generation of torques on the robot's body via a high efficiency reaction wheel system (RWS), which operates by accelerating an internal reaction mass. These torques can be used to both improve the stability of the robot and increase its walking efficiency when used in a coordinated manner. Due to the complex multi-body dynamics of these systems, the effect of design changes on a given performance metric are difficult to estimate. Full body trajectory optimization via direct transcription was employed as the primary tool to better understand the role that an RWS can play in bipedal locomotion. The five-link planar biped ERNIE was used as a basis for this analysis. Combined with a model of motor and gear losses, this allowed energetic comparisons between a baseline ERNIE model and hypothetical RWS-equipped versions. This showed for the first time that a correctly designed RWS, requiring only a modestly sized reaction wheel and a motor with minimal gear loss, can lead to improved walking efficiency. Extensive optimization over the full operational walking range showed that a reasonably sized RWS with realistic levels of regenerative efficiency can improve walking efficiency by 5-10% over most gaits. Comparison of resulting gaits revealed that optimal RWS use leads to better centroidal momentum regulation, which in turn reduces loads on joint motors in the legs. Simulations of the ERNIE model under virtual constraint control verified these results. For validation, an experimental reaction wheel system was constructed and attached to the ERNIE biped. Walking experiments with ERNIE demonstrated a measurable improvement in walking efficiency for gaits that utilize the RWS, corroborating the results from both optimization and simulation. For periodic walking, optimization results showed that near regions of marginal dynamic feasibility, reaction wheels can lead to much larger efficiency gains than in more typical operating conditions. RWS use also expands the range of dynamically feasible motions. In aperiodic motions such as speed and step length changes, RWS use is similarly beneficial, with significant efficiency gains in very demanding motions and expanded dynamic feasibility. For large, single-step changes of speed, the RWS can improve efficiency by as much as 60%.…

▼ Malaria effects nearly a quarter of a billion people each year. Efforts to control the disease have been hampered by the development of drug resistance in the Plasmodium parasite. This history of drug selections on the parasite have shaped its genome, enhancing drug resistance and compensating for fitness costs associated with the resistance phenotype. The reshaping of drug resistant parasite genomes will constrain loci particularly important to parasite fitness. Consistent with the hypothesis that the genome of the drug resistant Dd2 parent has been fined tuned to compensate for the effects of drug resistantce we found that parental allele combinations were found at a greater frequency in the progeny of a genetic cross. Growth dynamics of individual parasite clones in mixed infections were further investigated through the development of a quantitative competition assay that allowed for precise quantitifiation of growth dynamics, specifically the absolute quantification of each parasite within a multiclonal infection. In a mixed infection consisting of drug sensitive and drug resistant parasites the application of drug pressure leads to the competitive release of the drug resistant parasite. Impact of drug selection on parasite physiology was investigated by coupling global metabolite analysis and QTL mapping. We propose that the endogenous function of pfcrt is the transport of these small peptides from the digestive vacuole of the parasite to cytoplasm. Knowledge of the endogenous fuction of pfcrt is necessary to begin to understand how drug resistant parasites may have adapted to compensate for any fitness costs associated with resistance mutations. The compiliation of this work strongly supports the existence of, and identifies key molecular components of, the relationship between past drug selection bottlenecks and growth/fitness traits. These compensatory changes could play critical roles in the origin, persistence and spread of drug resistant parasite populations that have been argued to be more virulent and prone to rapid resistance to new drugs. Knowledge of these pathways and mechanisms will also reveal new drug targets, unique to drug resistant parasites, and could facilitate the rational design of drug combinations to thwart the ever-emerging scourge of multi-drug resistant malaria.

▼ America is a nation of schools. In a country famous for its early establishment of free schooling, American schools have historically provided foundational shared experiences for children, socializing them into American cultures and economies while also preparing them for intellectual adulthood. Yet in the 1950s, a small number of American parents began to reject normative schooling in favor of teaching their children themselves, an approach that had been out of favor for decades. To most Americans, the idea of a home school seemed oxymoronic, but twenty years later more than ten thousand American children were enrolled in such schools, and by 1999 the number had reached 850,000. By 2010, that number had once again doubled; in that year, roughly 1 out of every 25 American students was a homeschooler. In other words, thanks to homeschooling, on average every American school classroom is missing one student. Such astonishing growth inspires questions relevant to the larger history of American society. Given that the idea that defines homeschooling – that schooling belongs at home instead of in an institution – stands in clear opposition to most modern schooling, how and why did contemporary homeschooling begin and then, eventually, thrive? Why are two million American children now going to “school” out of the sight and (largely) the control of the American public? This dissertation seeks to answer these questions through an in-depth analysis of the history of homeschooling between 1950 and 2010, focusing on a case study of Los Angeles County. Drawing on both archival sources and oral history, I argue that the history of homeschooling highlights an increasing loss of public confidence in institutions, a loss that occurred as parents lost most of their ability to influence the local schools upon which both the public good and the private good of families and children relied. Homeschooling came to thrive not just because homeschoolers avoided schools but because they addressed the tension between family rights and the public good by creating ways to provide a responsible education – one that the public would eventually partially accept – under parental, rather than institutional, control.

▼ During the decade between the collapse of the Nazi Empire and the end of Allied occupation of West Germany, a wide variety of individuals and groups in all four occupation zones began processes of reconciliation between Germans and their wartime enemies and victims. This dissertation studies those early steps toward reconciliation and compares and contrasts developments in the western zones of occupation, eventually the Federal Republic of Germany, and the eastern zone/German Democratic Republic. In many ways, interactions between the Allies and Germans in the first year of occupation supported reconciliatory efforts. However, Allied-German relations proceeded with a mandated distance between the two groups and through legal impositions on the German people. A different approach was needed in order to achieve the peaceful integration of Germany into international affairs. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – international and German – provided such an alternative. Rather than addressing exclusively the statist concerns that drove Allied policies, NGOs prioritized attempts at reconciliation between individuals and communities, provided a crucial link between Germans and the outside world, and fostered dialogue in ways that governments and military personnel did not. After the collapse of the Third Reich, most Germans were unwilling to engage critically with the recent past. Still, the conditions of Allied occupation and demands of the international community led Germans to acknowledge, however reluctantly, the crimes of the Nazi era. In all parts of occupied Germany, NGOs – aided by a disparate array of individuals – played a key role in shaping public memory of the past. In western Germany, Germans engaged in discussions and negotiations that acknowledged Nazi crimes and recognized victims of Nazism. Discourses created in eastern Germany also acknowledged Nazi crimes but did not admit that Germans in the Soviet zone/German Democratic Republic bore any responsibility for them. In general, the motives of people involved in initiating dialogue between former enemies and between perpetrators and their victims mattered less than actions and their repercussions. As the increasing divergence after 1947 between the situation in western and eastern Germany indicates, however, Allied support was necessary, if not sufficient, for any productive efforts at reconciliation.

▼ The contemporary discussion of supererogation and how it fits within particular moral theories is strikingly thin when it comes to the question of whether or how virtue ethics can make room for supererogation. Indeed, whereas the debates about how utilitarianism and Kantianism ought approach the supererogatory are well-developed, although by no means exhaustive, to date there is but one article-length treatment of the topic of virtue ethics and supererogation. Given the above gap in the literature, the primary goal of this dissertation is to develop a satisfying account of supererogation that fits well within a virtue ethical framework. A second (and secondary) aim is related and enables the dissertation to make a modest contribution to the larger debate in moral philosophy about the relative strengths and weakness of the major moral theories. This second aim is to argue that the developed virtue ethics account is, as an account of the supererogatory, superior to the accounts of supererogation that have been offered on behalf of both Kantianism and utilitarianism. A third and minor aim is to show how virtue ethics can deepen our understanding of the supererogatory, shedding light on certain aspects of actual cases of supererogation that the contemporary discussion of the topic tends to miss. Chapter One provides an introduction to the concept of supererogation with a brief history of the academic discussion of it up to the present, introduces five “central cases” of supererogation, argues for the import of the supererogatory, and offers an outline of the project. Chapters Two and Three assess some of the more prominent utilitarian (Chapter Two) and Kantian (Chapter Three) accounts of supererogation that appear in the literature. Chapter Four introduces and provides a defense a new virtue ethics account of supererogation. Chapter Five brings together the accounts of supererogation introduced and assessed in Chapters Two, Three, and Four for the purposes of determining how successful utilitarians, Kantians, and virtue ethicist have been at accounting for supererogation.

▼ China’s economic importance in the world’s economy is difficult to overstate. By population it is the world’s largest and by gross domestic product (GDP) it trails only the United States. This dissertation addresses some of the most pressing questions pertaining to China’s rise onto the world’s economic stage. Composed of three chapters, the first is part of a broader question on how economic researchers should approach analyzing China’s economy from a methodological standpoint. Specifically, it asks if the tools used to study business cycles in developed countries can also be used to study China. Or is it the case that China is too “different” from developed economies? Co-authored with Nelson C. Mark, this chapter shows that standard business cycle models work as well for studying China as they do for Canada. However, the dimensions by which the tools succeed and fail are different between the two. The second chapter, adapted from a co-authored paper with Steven Lugauer and Nelson Mark, studies the effect that changing demographic patterns have had on the household saving rate in China. China’s population composition from a very young to an older population has been dramatic from a sharp reduction in fertility rates following the initiation of government sponsored population programs such as the One Child Policy. At the same time, saving as a share of household income has steadily increased from 5 percent in the 1970s to over 27 percent by 2008. This chapter presents a quantitative model with life-cycle components and a changing age composition that account for nearly all of the increase in household saving. Finally, the third chapter investigates the extent that economic reforms that removed barriers to entry by private businesses in 1992 can quantitatively account for China’s growth in total factor productivity (TFP). This chapter presents a model of both the private and state sectors which shows that entry by private businesses is limited to only the most productive due to imperfect access to financial markets. Thus, the 1992 reforms initiated aggregate TFP growth through the entry and expansion of exclusively the most productive private businesses.

▼ Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean is one of a handful of ancient philosophical theories that is widely known among philosophers generally. By contrast, Plato’s discussions of measure are hardly known even among ancient philosophy specialists. It is unsurprising, then, that the influence of those discussions on Aristotle’s doctrine has hardly been acknowledged, let alone examined in detail. The project of this dissertation is to fill this gap in our understanding; it is to examine the relationship between Plato’s measure and Aristotle’s mean. In order to undertake this examination, accurate accounts of Plato’s measure and of Aristotle’s mean are needed. With regard to Plato, I pay particular attention to the Statesman and the Philebus. Out of the entire Platonic corpus, the passage on the art of measurement from the Statesman (283c-285c) is the clearest source of inspiration for Aristotle’s doctrine. The standard interpretation of this difficult passage, however, is fundamentally mistaken, and so an alternative interpretation is needed. The discussions of measure in the Philebus supplement and illuminate this passage from the Statesman by elucidating the philosophical roles played by measure: measure both gives particular things their identities and serves as the relevant norm compliance with which renders those things good. Turning to Aristotle, I develop a novel account of the doctrine of the mean. The need for such an account is especially pressing inasmuch as Aristotle’s doctrine is often interpreted in a way that renders the doctrine philosophically implausible but that also has very little textual support. The novel account offered in this thesis is shown to handle readily the most common objections to Aristotle’s doctrine. With accurate accounts of measure and the mean, I then turn to comparing them along four points: normativity, ethical knowledge, what compliance with measure or the mean consists in, and absolutism (as opposed to relativism). The differences between Aristotle and Plato with regard to these four points reveal, I conclude, a fundamental difference in approach to ethical philosophy. For Plato, ethical theorizing is to be undertaken for the sake of gaining greater theoretical understanding; for Aristotle, its benefit is primarily practical.

▼ The field of evolutionary ecology has focused on understanding two important aspects regarding the origin of species: (1) the ecological adaption of organisms to different environments, and (2) the co-evolutionary interplay between organisms themselves. In this regard, a long standing, but understudied hypothesis that unifies these considerations is “biodiversity begets biodiversity” in a process referred to as “sequential divergence”. Specifically, sequential divergence contends that as species diverge, they create new niches for other organisms to adapt to. As a result, the divergence of one species could lead to the genesis of many new taxa. Here, to understand how common sequential divergence may be in nature, I test for a multiplicative effect of the process within a single system consisting of three parasitoid wasps, Diachasma alloeum, Utetes canaliculatus and Diachasmimorpha mellea (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), that attack Rhagoletis pomonella fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). Using genetic tools, behavioral studies, and life history analyses, I show that the same host-related ecological selection pressures that differentially adapt and reproductively isolate Rhagoletis to their respective host plants (the timing of adult eclosion and host fruit odor preference) cascaded across trophic levels and induce host-associated genetic divergence for each of the three members of the parasitoid community. In addition interspecific competition between wasp species for limited resource during larval development inside fly hosts is mitigated by their temporal subdivision of the shared host fly resource. As a result, the seasonal subdivision of fly resources is accentuating allochronic isolation among conspecific wasps attacking different host flies, generating increased reproductive isolation and contributing to their ongoing divergence. Furthermore, the role of temporal resource partitioning does not appear to be isolated to Rhagoletis-attacking parasitoids. Results from a meta-analysis of 64 studies suggests that species differences in the timing of a key life cycle event, oviposition, into shared insect hosts may be an important life history strategy mediating competition between parasitoid species in general and allowing for multiple taxa to co-exist on shared hosts. In turn, his process could play a critical role in structuring insect communities and contributing to the incredible diversity of parasitoid species observed in nature. Overall, my findings support the claim that “biodiversity begets biodiversity” and suggest that the process may be more common in nature that previously thought. Divergent selection at lower trophic levels has the potential to not only linearly, but multiplicatively amplify biodiversity at higher levels. In addition, sequential divergence may be accentuated by other types of species interactions (i.e., interspecific competition) to help facilitate the process and promote species coexistence. For smaller organisms like parasitoids that can partition and experience… Advisors/Committee Members: Jeffrey Feder, Research Director.

▼ Zeolites are a class of microporous, crystalline materials that have many applications as adsorbents, membranes, sensors, and catalysts. For use as a catalyst, zeolites can be synthesized with various acidities, micropore structures, bulk porosities, and heteroatom substitutions. Therefore zeolites can meet the demands for a wide variety of reactions, especially for reactions that use feed streams with varying compositions (e.g. biomass, petroleum, etc.). <pre><code> The use of lignocellulosic biomass as a source of renewable energy has gained traction in recent years due to the finite supply, environmental effects, geopolitics, and overall sustainability of fossil fuels. As the only source of renewable carbon on earth, biomass has been widely studied to meet the demands of a growing need for liquid renewable energy. Although non-catalytic, thermal conversion of solid lignocellulosic biomass to liquids can be achieved, the resulting product is often unstable, highly oxygenated, and subsequently a low quality fuel oil. With an appropriate catalyst, these products or reaction intermediates can be upgraded to valuable and stable fuels and chemicals mimicking those currently produced from petroleum resources. Thus, a catalyst is an essential part of the process of converting biomass to drop-in fuels and chemicals. This research addresses the innovative solutions to design and control zeolite catalyst properties to enhance the conversion of biomass feedstocks to value added chemicals and fuels. The results of altering the acidity, microporous structure, bulk porosity, and heteroatom substitution of ZSM-5 for biomass upgrading reactions are presented here. This first application of this work was the assessment of these various catalyst properties for the catalytic fast pyrolysis of lignin model compounds. It was determined that acidic, mesoporous, HZSM-5 was the most favorable catalyst for the production of aromatic liquid hydrocarbon fuels. The second application of this work was the synthesis of ZSM-5 with cerium incorporated within the framework. With detailed characterization and the use of well-studied model compound reactions, it was determined that cerium was indeed incorporated into the framework of the catalyst, yielding highly active sites to enhance the stability of oils derived from lignocellulosic biomass. </code></pre> Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Jason Hicks, Committee Chair, Dr. Ed Maginn, Committee Member, Dr. Prashant Kamat, Committee Member, Dr. Paul McGinn, Committee Member.

▼ The introduction of nonindigenous species is an increasing threat to global biodiversity and ecosystem function. The success of management efforts often relies on the study of the dynamics and impacts of previous invasions. Small-scale experiments of nonindigenous species provide valuable and timely information, but are limited in their ability to assess adequately the potential long-term effects of invasion at the whole-ecosystem level. Here, I build on previous smaller scale studies of the impacts of the invasive rusty crayfish Orconectes rusticus in order to assess the impacts and dynamics of the invasion at longer temporal scales, larger spatial scales, and more complex levels of ecological organization. Using data from long-term monitoring, I evaluated trends in the crayfish community over three decades in lakes invaded by O. rusticus. Results showed that an earlier congeneric invader, O. propinquus is extirpated, while the native O. virilis tends to coexist by using a habitat refuge. Patterns of O. rusticus abundance were more variable than previously believed. Most lakes sustained high O. rusticus abundance through time, while a few exhibited a pattern of boom-and-bust. Long-term O. rusticus abundance appeared to be related to risk of fish predation, variation in lake benthic substrate, and crayfish resource limitation. A long-term, whole-lake survey of snail and crayfish abundance showed that the magnitude of impact by O. rusticus can be great, differs across habitats, and that the full extent of impact on congeners and prey may not be evident until many years after initial colonization. Analysis of snail gut contents and a set of laboratory feeding experiments demonstrate that snails do not consume macrophytes, indicating that the primary effect of O. rusticus predation on snails is reduced grazing efficiency on periphyton. Samples from two lakes that experienced large declines in O. rusticus abundance indicated little ecosystem recovery. Comparison of food webs in invaded and uninvaded lakes using stable isotopes provided evidence that O. rusticus decoupled littoral and pelagic food webs. The combined effect of reduced grazing efficiency and food web decoupling is likely to be reduced flow of energy to the top of the lake food web. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. David M.

▼ To successfully guide attention toward a relevant object, the observer must have information about the defining (or essential) features of that object. Often, the observer also has information about non-essential features of the target, the distractors, or both; however, such ancillary information is often not manipulated independently of the essential information, and so its role in top-down guidance is unclear. Accordingly, the present study was designed to assess whether ancillary information can influence the guidance of attention using a visual search task in which observers searched for one of two target letters within a central array while trying to ignore a peripheral distractor. In this study, the two target letters were distinguished from the non-target letters by their form and they were distinguished from the peripheral distractor by their spatial location, thereby making form and location essential. In addition, the color of the target and non-target letters matched the color of the distractor in one condition, but they mismatched the peripheral distractor in another condition, thereby making color ancillary to the task. This ancillary color information was provided about the distractor in Experiment 1 and it was provided about the target in Experiments 2, 3, and 4. The ability of ancillary color information to guide attention was measured by the amount of interference that was generated by incompatible distracters relative to neutral distracters. In addition, this guidance was investigated under both low (Experiments 1 and 2) and high (Experiments 3 and 4) levels of perceptual load. In the low load condition, guidance by ancillary color information was predicted to be reflected by a reduction in distractor interference in the color mismatch condition relative to the color match condition. However, the results of Experiment 1 and 2 suggested that such guidance did not occur under conditions of low load, regardless of whether ancillary color information was provided about the distractor or the target. In the high load condition, guidance by ancillary color information was predicted to be reflected by an increase in distractor interference in the color match condition relative to the color mismatch condition. The results were consistent with this prediction, as long as the salience of the distractor was controlled (as in Experiment 4). Altogether the present findings extend our understanding of the role of top-down information in the guidance of attention, while also establishing initial boundary conditions for these effects. Implications for major theories of attention such guided search and perceptual load are discussed.

▼ This study investigates the impact of schemas related to the body on the experiences of runners in a mainstream running group, the FunRunners, and a more extreme ultrarunning group, the Ultramaniacs. I use the cases of running groups to make contributions to the field of cultural sociology by employing a variety of research methods including textual analysis of online chatboard interactions and content analysis of popular running publications. I use this data to explore public discourse around running, to examine the structuring of the two running groups, and to investigate the specific meaning structures at play in the groups. Ultimately, I wanted to know how hermeneutics matter in human lived experience. Also, what is the relationship between internal group cultures and external macro cultures? And why do processes or objects that garner no attention in one setting become objects of intense focus in another and what effect does this have? That is, are there cultural virtuosi within the running world, ala Weber’s religious virtuosi, and, if so, what processes constitute them? The focus on the FunRunners and Ultramaniacs was chosen primarily because of the possibilities for seeing the processes of interest here in order to build theory and best illustrate meaning-making and meaning-influence. This is not a study about running, it is a study of the sui generis creation of meaning in groups, an examination of the conditions both organizational and external under which this meaning-making is most likely to occur, and then an exploration of how the meanings created (at times) within groups can matter to the people who encounter and hold them. The layered exploration of these processes in this study shows that not all people are equally likely to pay attention to meanings in all areas of their lives. There are many places where meaning is taken for granted, and in part, this study shows why cultural virtuosi are created in certain types of situations.

▼ The III-Nitrides are direct band gap semiconductors that span a large range of band gaps from ~0.6 eV (InN) to 6.2 eV (AlN). In recent years High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) based on III-Nitride semiconductors have proved capable of high power, high voltage and high frequency operation. Integration of ALD oxides with GaN will enable lower gate leakage currents, high breakdown voltages, and surface passivation of HEMTs. In this work we present a comprehensive characterization of AlN/GaN MOS-HEMT (grown by PAMBE) gate stacks with ALD Al2O3 of various thicknesses. Through capacitance-voltage and Hall-effect measurements, we find the presence and propose an origin of benign donor-type interface charge Qit~ 6x1013 cm-2 at the AlN/Al2O3 junction, and relate its presence to the polarization charges in AlN. The role of ALD oxygen layers as possible modulation dopants can offer opportunities for various innovative designs in III-Nitride electronic devices. Most importantly by controlling the effective Qit (for example by compensation doping, or by varying the polarization through the composition), pinch-off voltage Vp can be made to increase, remain independent, or decrease with dielectric thickness tox. There is a strong recent interest in studying the effect of magnetic interaction of various ferromagnetic structures leading the pathway for nanomagnet logic operation (NML). However, there is a very little effort so far to identify the potential effect of high current density of III-Nitride heterostructure on microanomagnetic structures High-current drive nitride devices can potentially eliminate the need for auxiliary arrangements of switching and may enable the integration of logic and memory in the same device. The successful integration of microano magnets (supermalloy made) with III-Nitride heterostructure and the ability of imaging the single/multi-domain featured nano/micromagnets on III-Nitrides presented in this work opens the possibility of active device driven switching of nanomagnets in MQCA logic operation. Although simulation result has shown that the field requirement in nanomagnet switching is higher compared to the H field obtained (~1mT) using the drain current (1.4Amps/mm) of a normal HEMT, it is possible to use other nitride structures (n-GaN) to deliver current density more than 10amps/mm as shown in this work. Such a high current density produces a magnetic field in excess of 8mT. This field can be used affectively to move the domains of the micromagnetic structures, and possibly nanomagnets switching too.

▼ The biological membrane is made up of primarily polar lipids and integral membrane proteins. Polar lipids are a broad class of amphiphilic biomolecules that serve diverse biological roles encompassing energy storage, cell compartmentalization, and cell signaling. The first part of the dissertation is an introduction to the structures of polar lipids and their self-assembly properties followed by a summary of biological strategies for polar lipid recognition. The final section of the first chapter is an introduction to synthetic receptors for polar lipids. The next two chapters focus on research towards new probes for anionic phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine (PS) using synthetic zinc(II)-bis(dipicolylamine) (Zn2BDPA) coordination complexes. PS targeting is relevant to cell death since PS is exposed on the surface of dead and dying cells. Zn2BDPA coordination complexes are known to selectively recognize PS-rich membranes and act as cell death molecular imaging agents. However, there is a need to improve in vivo imaging performance by selectively increasing target affinity and decreasing off-target accumulation. The first study (Chapter 2) focuses on the synthesis and screening of a small library of modified Zn2BDPA complexes constructed through the oxime ligation to better understand the structural requirements for membrane PS recognition. The second study (Chapter 3) compares the cell death targeting ability of two new phenoxide-bridged Zn2BDPA deep-red fluorescent probes in cells and two animal models of cell death. An [111]In-labelled radiotracer version of the monovalent probe also exhibited selective cell death targeting with the most favorable in vivo biodistribution profile yet reported for a Zn2BDPA complex. Thus, the monovalent phenoxide-bridged Zn2BDPA scaffold is a promising candidate for further development as a cell death imaging agent in living subjects. In chapters 4 and 5, the focus moves from developing affinity ligands for anionic lipid recognition to developing molecular design principles for liposomal pH nanosensors (Chapter 5) and new analytical strategies for anion detection using indicator displacement assays (Chapter 6).
