Abstract:
We study the evolution of male and female mating strategies and mate choice for female fecundity and male fertilization ability in a system where both sexes can mate with multiple partners, and where there is variation in individual quality (i.e. in the availability of resources individuals can allocate to matings, mate choice and production of gametes). We find that when the cost of mating differs between sexes, the sex with higher cost of mating is reluctant to accept matings and is often also choosy, while the other sex accepts all matings. With equal mating costs, the evolution of mating strategies depends on the strength of female sperm limitation, so that when sperm limitation is strong, males are often reluctant and choosy, whereas females tend to accept available matings. Male reluctance evolves because a male's benefit per mating diminishes rapidly as he mates too often, hence losing out in the process of sperm competition as he spends much of his resources on mating costs rather than ejaculate production. When sperm limitation is weaker, females become more reluctant and males are more eager to mate. The model thus suggests that reversed sex roles are plausible outcomes of polyandry and limited sperm production. Implications for empirical studies of mate choice are discussed.

Abstract:
The diversity of mating systems among animals is astounding. Importantly, similar mating systems have evolved even across distantly related taxa. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these convergently evolved phenotypes is limited. Here, we examine on a genomic scale the neuromolecular basis of social organization in cichlids of the tribe Ectodini from Lake Tanganyika. Using field-collected males and females of four closely related species representing two independent evolutionary transitions from polygyny to monogamy, we take a comparative transcriptomic approach to test the hypothesis that these independent transitions have recruited similar gene sets. Our results demonstrate that while lineage and species exert a strong influence on neural gene expression profiles, social phenotype can also drive gene expression evolution. Specifically, 331 genes (∼6% of those assayed) were associated with monogamous mating systems independent of species or sex. Among these genes, we find a strong bias (4:1 ratio) toward genes with increased expression in monogamous individuals. A highly conserved nonapeptide system known to be involved in the regulation of social behavior across animals was not associated with mating system in our analysis. Overall, our findings suggest deep molecular homologies underlying the convergent or parallel evolution of monogamy in different cichlid lineages of Ectodini.

Abstract:
Species of Valerianaceae in South America represent one of the best examples of rapid diversification on a continental scale. The phylogeny of Valerianaceae has received a lot of attention within the last 10 years, but relationships among the South American species are fairly unresolved. Results from previous studies have not been well resolved with traditional genetic markers, most likely due to its recent and rapid radiation. Species in this clade exhibit a variety mating systems and inflorescence types. For the first part of this research I used several traditional plastid markers, and 3 new low copy nuclear markers to better resolve the phylogeny and then explore mating system evolution within the clade. For the second part of this research I collected high-throughput “next-generation” genomic sequence data from reduced representation libraries obtained using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) protocols, along with several phylogenetic methods, to try to further resolve the phylogeny of this group.

Abstract:
Sex chromosomes experience distinct evolutionary environments, due to their unusual pattern of inheritance, and studies of sex chromosome evolution can shed light on the fundamental evolutionary forces acting across the genome as a whole. Here, I combine genomic and transcriptomic data across a wide range of avian species to explore the evolutionary processes governing sex chromosome evolution. Birds are female heterogametic and therefore it is possible, via comparisons with male heterogametic species, to identify the fundamental factors driving sex chromosome evolution, versus those associated with sex. In this thesis, I uncover a complex mosaic of recombination suppression between the Z and W chromosomes, characterized by repeated and independent divergence of gametologs, together with ongoing genetic exchange. Additionally, I highlight the role of mating system, and interplay between evolutionary forces, in driving coding and expression evolution on the Z and W chromosomes. My findings indicate that although the Z chromosome is masculinized for male-specific effects, the magnitude of genetic drift acting on Z-linked genes is elevated in promiscuous relative to monogamous mating systems. In contrast, evolution of the female-limited W chromosome is governed predominately by purifying selection. Together, my results suggest that the role of the Z chromosome in encoding sexual dimorphisms may be limited, but that W-linked genes play a significant role in female-specific fitness. In conclusion, my findings reveal the power of mating system in shaping broad patterns of genome evolution.

Abstract:
High levels of inbreeding are expected to cause a strong reduction in levels of genetic variability, effective recombination rates and in adaptation compared with related outcrossing populations. The evolution of mating systems can thus have profound effects on the evolution of genome structure and diversity. In this thesis I test these predictions, using the plant genus Arabidopsis as a model system. I examine patterns of genome organisation, DNA sequence polymorphism and divergence in the highly self-fertilizing Arabidopsis thaliana, and compare them to those of its self-incompatible, outcrossing relative Arabidopsis lyrata. From comparisons of rates of substitution, there is no evidence for a higher rate of amino acid substitution in A. thaliana, suggesting that slightly deleterious amino acid mutations may not be the primary source of protein evolution in these species. In contrast with results from published data, analysis including polymorphism data also reveals no difference in the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous polymorphism between species, suggesting that there may not be a general elevation of amino acid polymorphism in A. thaliana. Comparisons of intron length reveal evidence for consistently smaller introns in A. thaliana, perhaps reflecting the action of directional selection on noncoding DNA length in an annual plant. Analysis of codon usage bias at orthologous loci shows evidence for consistently higher GC content at third codon positions in A. lyrata. Comparisons of base composition in introns and polymorphism patterns for preferred and unpreferred synonymous mutations show no evidence for a shift in mutation pattern or rates of biased gene conversion between species, suggesting that the difference in codon bias might reflect a relaxation of natural selection in A. thaliana. However, comparisons of codon usage between species using a measure of codon bias based on relative abundance of tRNA genes reveals no significant difference between species, and there is no evidence for a difference in the relative rates of preferred and unpreferred substitutions. As there is a good correlation between the frequency of preferred codons defined by tRNA abundance and levels of gene expression, these results suggest a neutral explanation for the difference in GC content. Comparisons of multilocus neutral variability between A. thaliana and A. lyrata show the expected decrease in average within-population diversity in A. thaliana, but this is complicated by strong geographic structuring of variability in A. lyrata, probably associated with recent demographic history. Consistent with an influence of demographic history, analysis of intralocus linkage disequilibrium suggests a strong deficiency of the effective rate of recombination in A. lyrata. In contrast, A. thaliana shows approximately the amount of linkage disequilibrium expected in a highly self-fertilising species. These results suggest a possible role for population admixture in northern, postglacial populations of A. lyrata. A whole-genome analysis of transposable elements in A. thaliana indicates that recombination rate heterogeneity does not play an important role in driving their distribution in this species, and that gene density is the primary determinant of TE abundance in the genome. Combined with evidence from other complete eukaryotic genomes, this pattern is consistent with a role of inbreeding in reducing effective rates of recombination genome-wide, and thereby reducing the effect of recombination rate heterogeneity on genome structure. Polymorphism analysis of 18 foci located in regions of contrasting recombination rate in an Icelandic population of Arabidopsis lyrata reveals no evidence for the expected positive correlation between recombination rate and nucleotide diversity. A maximum likelihood analysis of polymorphism and divergence for these data shows evidence for significantly elevated diversity compared with divergence at a centromeric locus, suggesting the possibility of balancing selection in this region. Alternatively, recent demographic history may have contributed to an uncoupling of the expected relationship between recombination and variability, and an inflation of the variance in diversity across loci. The results of this thesis provide some evidence for the evolution of genome structure between related Arabidopsis species, but no strong evidence for differences in the efficacy of natural selection. These results emphasize the importance of understanding the influence of population history on the action of natural selection at the molecular level.

Abstract:
It is not clear whether genes of the innate immune system of vertebrates are subject to the same selective pressures as genes of the adaptive immune system, despite the fact that innate immunity genes lie directly at the interface between host and pathogens. The lack of consensus about the incidence, type, and strength of selection acting on vertebrate innate immunity genes motivated this study. The goal of this work was to elucidate the general principles of innate immune receptor evolution within and between species. A phylogenetic analysis of the Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) in primates showed an excess of nonsynonymous substitutions at certain codons, a pattern that is consistent with recurrent positive selection. The putative sites under selection often displayed radical substitutions, independent parallel changes, and were located in functionally important regions of the protein. In contrast with this interspecific pattern, population genetic analysis of this gene in humans and chimpanzees did not provide conclusive evidence of recent selection. The frequency and distribution of a TLR5 null mutation in human populations further suggested that TLR5 function might be partially redundant in the human immune system (Appendix A). Comparable analyses of the remaining nine human TLRs produced similar results and further pointed to a biologically meaningful difference in the pattern of molecular evolution between TLRs specialized in the recognition of viral nucleic acids and the other TLRs (Appendix B). The general picture that emerges from these studies challenges the conventional idea that pattern recognition receptors are subject to an extreme degree of functional constraint dictated by the recognition of molecules that are essential for microbial fitness. Instead, TLRs display patterns of substitution between species that reflect an old history of positive selection in primates. A common theme, however, is that only a restricted proportion of sites is under positive selection, indicating an equally important role for purifying selection as a conservative force in the evolution of this gene family. A comparative analysis of evolutionary rates at fifteen loci involved in innate, intrinsic and adaptive immunity, and mating systems revealed that more promiscuous species are on average under stronger selection at defense genes (Appendix C). Although the effect is weak, this suggests that sexual promiscuity plays some role in the evolution of immune loci by affecting the risk of contracting infectious diseases.

Abstract:
Spreading kinetics of molten Al-Si alloy on both alumina and aluminum surfaces, driven by surface tension and retarded by viscosity, with or without significant impact of gravity, has been studied experimentally. Spreading takes place during a transient formation of the free liquid metal surface in a wedge-tee configuration corner between horizontal and vertical metal mating surfaces with a small Bo number. A high temperature optical dynamic contact angle measuring system has been used to monitor in real time in situ the free surface formation. Tests were performed under different oxygen concentration levels and at atmospheric pressure conditions, with a benchmark case involving ultra-high purity Nitrogen. An auxiliary study of the surface tension of the particular molten alloy considered has been performed under conditions of a large Bo number as well. These tests were performed over a flat non-wetting ceramic substrate of pure alumina (96%) using an optical sessile drop method. The former experiments resulted in capturing a 2-D configuration of the observed alloy liquid formation at elevated temperatures during a time evolution of the molten metal free surface spreading. The kinetics of the triple line movement at the vertical mating surface constitutes the main objective of the study. It is established that the triple line kinetics features a sequence of multiple, well defined spreading phases. These phases of the joint formation were identified, and the influential parameters were assessed. The power law spreading kinetics has been established. The experimental results show a good agreement with the hypothesized theoretical model.

Abstract:
Abstract With current rise of climate change worldwide, transport industry contributes up to 21% of the world’s total Green House Gases (GHG). In addition to that developing cities are facing great changes in urbanization, population growth and environmental concerns. In these instances, railway transportation is a top contender on land transport mode to achieve sustainable mobility in fast growing cities. For railway operation, apart from wheel-rail contact, the catenary system has a very high initial investment cost as well as associated maintenance cost. It is important to monitor the damage evolution of the catenary components for developing better maintenance strategies. This study utilizes a co-simulation between the railway catenary system dynamics and electrical power flow. With reference to Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit Service (AALRTS), the power and current drawn by the running train were calculated. Then the heat losses in the conductor wire were obtained with respect to train location on the line. This procedure was followed by thermal analysis that allowed us to obtain temperature rise in the conductor. The temperature results were used as some of the inputs in the dynamic explicit finite element model of the coupled catenary and sliding pantograph. From the finite element analysis, different quantities such as contact forces and pressures, temperature rise because of friction between sliding parts, and deflections of conductor were obtained. Furthermore, the fluctuations of train loads were taken into consideration in the calculation of power consumption and hence in temperature rise. Increase in loads resulted in increase of current drawn which increases the temperature of the mating parts, which in-turn affected frictional stresses and forces. The latter were the input parameters in Archard wear model for calculating wear volume from the catenary contact conductor. It was observed that at different scenarios of train passenger loadings, the train experiences an increase in energy consumption, which results in slight increase of contact conductor wear by material removal.

Abstract:
Nowadays, service-oriented manufacturing (SOM) systems (e.g., cloud manufacturing (CMfg), product service systems (PSS), etc.) have attracted more and more interesting and attention of researchers from many different fields. However, because of the complex and dynamic environment, one of the most important issues need to be addressed for the promotion and application of SOM system is the dynamic supply-demand matching and scheduling of manufacturing resource services. In this paper, the issue of supple-demand matching in the typical SOM system is carried out at first. Then the dynamics and different models facing different users and different demands are analyzed respectively. As a result, a hypernetwork-based solution framework of this issue and the cloud manufacturing platform adding with the related functions are proposed with consideration of multi-objects, statistical characteristics and evolution. Finally, some future works with big data and industrial Internet of things are pointed out in the summary.

Abstract:
Ontology alignment plays a key role for information interconnectivity between computational systems relying on ontologies described in different natural languages. Existing approaches for ontology matching usually provide equivalent type of relation in the generated mappings. In this article, we propose a refinement technique to enable the update of the semantic type of the mapping such as “is-a”, “part-of”, etc. Our approach relies on information from the ontology evolution to apply refinement actions. We formalize the refinement actions and procedures, as well as apply the proposal in application scenarios.

Abstract:
This technical note (TN) will outline a framework to identify beneficial and cost-effective coastal beneficial use of dredged sediment (BUDS) projects. Creation of a BUDS framework that can be applied at scale will promote sustainable BUDS practices, facilitating the delivery of flood risk management, social, and environmental benefits while still fulfilling the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation mission. This proactive forecasting approach uses multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and optimization tools to balance tradeoffs between navigation dredging and BUDS goals over project-scale timespans. The proposed framework utilizes available tools to quantify ecological system evolution and current and future dredging needs to develop a systems-level approach to BUDS. Required data include current and future information on (1) existing and planned natural and created aquatic ecological systems, which may include natural and nature-based features (NNBFs), (2) dredging requirements and costs, and (3) aquatic system physical and environmental data.
