Title as it appears in MIT Commencement Exercises program, June 5, 2015: Source base optimization : footwear profiling at Nike, Inc. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (page 31).
The long term sourcing for footwear development, or "profiling," at Nike, Inc. has grown with the company and become significantly complex. It is no longer possible for a single person, no matter the level of experience, to optimize the company's profiling plan without computational assistance. Optimization methods, specifically mixed-integer linear programing, present an opportunity to save between 6.7 and 9.7% of combined labor and duty costs to the company. The model proposed by this research is responsible for justifying that potential but is merely a starting point for Nike, Inc. Further application and research into the company's manufacturing processes including transportation costs, technology groupings, and the Manufacturing Index (MI) could wield results that far surpass the levels obtained by this research. Implementation of an algorithmic approach is challenging for an organization that values "storytelling," collaboration, and narrative. However, in time I believe that this model, or something similar, will find a place, and deliver results, for Nike, Inc.

Повний текст джерелаThe evolution of the Internet in the last few year has been characterized by dramatic changes in the way users behave, interact and utilize the network. This was accompanied by the introduction of new categories of applications such as network games and peer-to-peer services. One of the most important challenges for network administrators and ISPs is then becoming the identification of Internet traffic applications in order to protect their resources from unwanted traffic and to prioritize some major applications. Statistical methods are preferred to port-based ones and deep packet inspection since they donât rely on the port number and they also work for encrypted traffic. Theses methods combine the statistical analysis of the application packet flow parameters, such as packet size and inter-packet time, with machine learning techniques. However, the majority of these statistical methods cannot identify flows early and require reaching the end of flows before taking any decision which is considered as too late for network administrators ; indeed they do not provide means to stop an Internet flow or to give it a special quality of service early in its lifetime. Another important challenge for network administrators is to detect and diagnose key network changes as a long-term congestion, a rerouting, a link failure or any other even causing a shift in network delays. In the literature there is a huge amount of anomaly detection methods but most of them require exhaustive measurements to function properly. Reducing the load of network-wide monitoring is always a vital need for network administrators. In this thesis we present several contributions around Internet traffic identification and network-wide anomaly detection. In the first part we present three methods we have developed in order to identify accurately and on the fly the Internet traffic. The first method is a new online iterative probabilistic method that identifies applications quickly and accurately by only using the size of the first N packets. The second method enhances the first one with the inter-packet time in order to identify Internet traffic, this has required the introduction of a model to isolate the noise due to network conditions and to extract the time generated by the applications themselves. Our third method is a new online method for traffic classification that combines the statistical and host-based approaches in order to construct a robust and precise method for early Internet traffic identification. We use the packet size as the main feature for the classification and we benefit from the traffic profile of the host (i. E. Which application and how much) to decide in favour of this or that application. In the second part of this thesis, we aboard the problem of network-wide anomaly detection. We start by making a study about the stability of Internet coordinate systems (especially Vivaldi). In a first stage we confirm the fact that Vivaldi coordinates are most of the time correlated with each other pointing to a stable cluster of nodes seen from inside the network. In a second stage, we present a new clustering algorithm based on the data mining Hierarchical Grouping method to identify this cluster of stable nodes. Finally, we highlight the utility of such finding with and application that tracks changes in network delays. By changing artificially the network delays in different scenarios, we show that these changes are easily reflected by this body of stable nodes, hence allowing to obtain a global picture about the stability of the underlying network without the need for exhaustive delay measurements

Повний текст джерелаLana, Alessandra. "Expression profiling of genes controlled by estradiol (E2) and/or nuclear estrogen receptors ER α and ER β". Strasbourg, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009STRA6177.
Повний текст джерелаThe definition of the role of estrogen is a long-date scientific preoccupation. On the basis of the studies carried out in the last twenty years, it is now well accepted that estradiol and its cognate receptors are relevant transcription regulators in reproductive as well as non-reproductive tissues. Models of estrogen (E2) insufficiency (ArKO) and estrogen receptors (ER) dysfunction (ERKOs) have revealed new and unexpected roles of estradiol and its receptors both in female and male. The purpose of this study is to use mouse models of estrogen insufficiency (ArKO) and estrogen receptors dysfunction (ERKOs) to provide a genomic insight in the multiple and complex mechanisms defining estrogenic signaling to help understanding its role in physiological and pathological conditions. In particular the objective was to identify the genes responsive to estrogen signaling according to various possible mechanisms: 1) estrogen and estrogen receptordependent actions; 2) estrogen-independent and estrogen-receptor-dependent actions; 3) estrogen receptor-independent estrogen-dependent actions. To reach this aim, estrogen and estrogen receptors dependent genes expression profiling were performed by microarray analysis in ventral and dorso-lateral prostate and gonadal white adipose tissue from mouse models of impaired estrogen synthesis (ArKO) and ER action (ERKOs). The experimental and biological reproducibility of microarray data was first verified and confirmed providing a correlation between real-time PCR and microarrays in fold change measurements and in expression profiles across all tissues. The results obtained from the analysis of the expression profiles indicate that the classical and the non-genomic actions of estrogen are not to represent the main mechanisms of estrogenic signaling in prostate and adipose tissue. Conversely it appears that the estrogenic signaling in these tissues is exerted via estrogen receptors with an estrogen-independent mechanism of action. ERa appear to be the main mediator of the observed estrogenic effects, with mechanisms that differ according to the specific tissue. In ventral and dorso-lateral prostates, ERa seems to have inhibitory effects on transcription of target genes, supporting the hypothesis of its implication as a tumor suppressor in the prostate gland. Additional studies need to be performed to permit the identification of genes whose regulation can be directly modulated by ERs

Повний текст джерелаHeterozygous mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor HNF1B are the cause of a complex multisystem syndrome known as Renal Cysts And Diabetes (RCAD). A mouse model generated in our laboratory was shown to reproduce several features of the human disease. We performed high-throughput mRNA-microRNA sequencing at different developmental stages (E14.5, E15.5, E17.5). We showed that the most down-regulated genes were involved in transport, lipid and organic acid metabolic processes and expressed in proximal tubules and to a lesser extent in the loop of Henle and collecting ducts. We then selected four microRNAs (mir-802, 194-2, 192 and -30a), which were down-regulated and potentially controlled by HNF1B. Luciferase assays in HEK-293 cells showed that HNF1B was able to specifically transactivate in a dose response mode these microRNAs through binding HNF1B-binding sites in their regulatory promoter/enhancer upstream sequences. We subsequently showed by luciferase assays using miRNA MIMICS that mir-802, mir-194-2 and mir-192 were able to inhibit luciferase vectors containing the 3’UTR of Hnf1b. Analysis of urine samples from 22 RCAD patients and 22 healthy controls led to the identification of 146 peptides differentially excreted and associated with RCAD including a similarity regarding collagen and uromodulin fragments with the RCAD mouse model. Combining the peptides into a mathematical model we used independent cohorts of patients to validate the prediction of the RCAD syndrome. Our classifier efficiently predicted RCAD syndrome with 91.7% sensitivity and 91.1% specificity on a wide population

Повний текст джерелаWe consider conservation laws with a flux discontinuity at x = 0, where the flux parts from both left and right hand side of x = 0 have at most one extreme on the observed domain. The first chapter provides elementary definitions and theorems..The second chapter refers to hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, their solutions, and numerical procedures. The third chapter is devoted to discrete shock profiles. The fourth chapter describes conservation laws with discontinuous flux functions and provides basic information upon known results in this field. In the fifth chapter, we first analyse the two-flux equation when both flux parts have a minimum and cross at most at one point in the interior of the domain. Using a flux regularization on the interval [−ε, ε], for ε > 0 small enough, we show the existence of discrete shock profiles for Godunov’s scheme for conservation laws with discontinuous flux functions. We also define a discrete entropy condition accordingly, and use the existence of an entropy discrete shock profile as an entropy criterion for shocks. Then we analyse the same problem in the case when the flux part on the left of x = 0 has a maximum and the part on the right of x = 0 has a minimum, whereas the fluxes cross at the edges of the interval. We derive a more general discrete entropy condition in this case. We provide several numerical examples in both of the above mentioned flux cases. All the presented numerical results are obtained using a program written in Mathematica. Finally, in chapter six, we prove the existence of singular shock waves in the case when the graph of one of the flux parts is above the graph of the other one on the entire domain. For that purpose, we use the shadow wave technique. At the end of this chapter, we provide a numerical verification of the obtained singular solution.

Повний текст джерелаErozija zemljišta je jedan od najkompleksnijih problema i ujedno jedan od najpodmuklijih čovekovih neprijatelja. Erozivni procesi postepeno razaraju i uništavaju zemljište, odnose hranljive supstrate i remete vodni režim. Oni dovode stanovništvo mnogih, često prostranih oblasti u bedu, siromaštvo i migraciju. Zbog toga, mnoge privredne grane moraju biti uvučene u borbu protiv erozije zemljišta i njenih strahovitih posledica. Erozija je veoma složena dinamička pojava, koja zavisi od niza faktora čije je diferenciranje vrlo teško. Ispitivanje i utvrđivanje intenziteta vodne erozije spada u grupu problema koji se ne mogu sveobuhvatno rešiti. Veoma je teško, skoro nemoguće, izdvojiti sve faktore, a potom multiplicirati sve te faktore u svim postojećim kombinacijama. Ovim radom sagledano je stanje erozije zemljišta u slivu Mlave i Peka, odnosno Homolju i Zviždu, sa više aspekata i utvrđen niz pojava kao što su: koncentracija rastvorenih mineralnih materija, procentualno učešće makroelemenata u ukupnoj mineralizaciji, odnos mineralizacije prema proticaju, ukupan godišnji pronos rastvorenih mineralnih materija, odnos specifične električne provodljivosti i ukupne mineralizacije, iznos hemijske evakuacije, iznos hemijski rastvorenih mineralnih materija koje potiču od stenskog komleksa u slivu, uticaj geološkog sastava na ukupnu mineralizaciju vode, njenu strukturu i specifičnu hemijsku eroziju, koncentracija suspendovanog nanosa po profilima, odnos suspendovanog nanosa prema proticaju, ukupan godišnji pronos suspendovanog nanosa kao i specifična erozija, uticaj sezonskih faktora na koncentraciju silta i iznos mehaničke erozije, uticaj geološkog sastava na ukupan pronos suspendovanog nanosa, merenje vučenog nanosa, odnos hemijske i mehaničke erozije. Homolje i Zvižd najvećim delom pripadaju brdsko – planinskom području koje se odlikuje vodotokovima sa relativno velikim uzdužnim padovima, gde su uglovi nagiba od 10 do 40. u Homolju i Zviždu sve vodotokove karakterišu vrlo velike razlike između ekstremno velikih i malih voda, pa na nekim vodotokovima odnos maksimalnih i minimalnih proticaja dostiže vrednost i hiljadu. Ovakav odnos između malih i velikih voda pogoduje razvoju erozivnih procesa i razaranju zemljišta. Erozija u slivu koja počinje pluvijalnom erozijom, a nastavlja se denudacijom, dovodi do snižavanja topografske površine i erodiranja zemljišta. Taloženjem nanosa na dnu rečnog korita ono se izdiže, što dovodi do smanjivanja ovlaženog profila. Velike poplavne vode zbog toga ne mogu da proteknu tako oplićalim rečnim koritom, pa zbog toga dolazi do njihovog izlivanja, što se manifestuje poplavama. Bez zemljišta ostaju gornji delovi sliva, a poplavama, usled taloženja vučenog i suspendovanog nanosa na dnu rečnog korita, bivaju izloženi donji delovi rečnih tokova. Ovakav negativan trend uočen je i u Homolju i u Zviždu koji su poslednjih godina sve češće ugroženi poplavnim vodama koje pričinjavaju velike štete kako poljoprivrednom zemljištu tako i naseljima u slivovima Mlave i Peka. S obzirom na činjenicu da u Homolju i Zviždu postoji veliki broj bujičnih tokova koji nose ogromne količine nanosa, realno je očekivanje da će se taj nanos akumulirati u srednjem i donjem delu slivova Mlave i Peka. Izbor hidrotehničkog metoda za istraživanje obima i intenziteta erozije u Homolju i Zviždu, kao i korišćenje metode profesora S. Gavrilovića u analizi bujičnih tokova je pokušaj preciznijeg utvrđivanja kvantiteta ovog procesa koji poslednjih godina ima uzlazni trend. Ostvarenje postavljenih zadataka utvrđenom metodologijom i postignuće zadatih ciljeva pruža odgovor na pitanje koliki je intenzitet i obim procesa erozije u Homolju i Zviždu na godišnjem nivou, po godišnjim dobima i mesecima. Utvrđen je stepen delovanja fizičko – geografskih faktora koji imaju uticaj na proces erozije, ukazano je na obim i vrstu primene antierozivnih mera, naročito u slivovima bujičnih tokova. Sagledavanjem intenziteta i obima erozije u Homolju i Zviždu, odnosno slivovima Mlave i Peka, uspešnije će biti rešeni vodoprivredni problemi koji ovde postoje.
The abstract has been processed with OCR optical text recognition technology.Soil erosion is one of the most complex problems and at the same time one of the most insidious of human enemies. Erosion processes gradually destroy the land, carry away nutritional substrates and disrupt the water regime. They drive many people, often from large areas, to misery and poverty, and cause migration. Therefore, many industries have to be included into the fight against soil erosion and its terrible consequences. Erosion is a very complex and dynamic phenomenon that relies on many factors which are hard to define. Differentiating and determining the intensity of water erosion are among the problems that cannot be comprehensively solved. It is very difficult, almost impossible, to extract all the factors and then multiply all these factors in every possible combination. This paper looks at the situation with soil erosion in the water basins of the rivers Mlava and Pek respectively, that is, in the areas of Homolje and Zvižd, from various aspects, and identifies a series of phenomena such as concentration of dissolved minerals, percentage of macroelements in the total mineralization, the relationship of mineralization to the flow, the total annual transport of dissolved minerals, the ratio of the specific electrical conductivity and total mineralization, the amount of chemical evacuation, the amount of chemically dissolved minerals that come from the rock complex in the basin, the impact of geological composition on the total mineralization of water, its structure and specific chemical erosion, suspended sediment concentration by profiles, the effect of suspended sediment on the flow, the total annual transport of suspended sediment as well as the specific erosion, the impact of seasonal factors on the concentration of silt and the amount of mechanical erosion, the impact of geological composition on the total transport of suspended sediment, bed load measurement, the ratio of chemical and mechanical erosion. Homolje and Zvižd are mostly hilly and mountainous areas characterized by water streams with relatively large vertical drops where the pitch angles may vary from 10° to 40°. In Homolje and Zvižd all the waterways are characterized by very large differences between extremely high and low water, reaching the value of a thousand in some points. This kind of a ratio between high and low waters favors the development of erosion processes and the destruction of land. Erosion in a basin starts with a pluvial erosion and continues with denudation, causing the lowering of the topographic surface and soil erosion. When the sediment deposits at the bottom of the river bed, the bed rises, leading to a reduction of the humidified profile. Therefore great floodwater cannot pass through such a shallow riverbed, which leads to its discharge and causes a flood. The upper parts of the basin lose land, and the lower parts of the basin become exposed to floods due to the deposition of bed load and suspended sediment at the bottom of the riverbed. This negative trend has been observed both in Homolje and Zviždi which in recent years have become increasingly threatened by flood waters which cause great damage to agricultural land and settlements in the basins of the rivers Mlava and Pek. Considering the fact that Homolje and Zvižd there is a large number of torrential streams that carry huge amounts of sediment, it is reasonable to expect the sediment to accumulate in the middle and lower parts of the basins of Mlava and Pek. The selection of the hydrotechnical method to explore the scope and intensity of erosion in Homolje and Zvižd, and the use of Professor S. Gavrilović’s method in the analysis of torrential flows is an attempt to determine more precisely the quantity of this process with an increasing trend in recent years. Fulfillment of tasks and achievement of objectives through suggested methodology and achievement of objectives provides the answer to the question of intensity and extent of erosion in Homolje and Zvižd on an annual basis, according to seasons and months. The paper has determined the degree of impact of physical and geographic factors on the erosion process, and has pointed to the scope and type of application anti-erosion measures, especially in watersheds with torrential flows. If we manage to comprehend the intensity and extent of erosion in Homolje and Zvižd, that is, in the basins of Mlava and Pek, we will be able to solve the existing water management problems more successfully.

Energy is always a critical resource in battery-driven devices. How hardware components are controlled and used by the applications and system software can significantly affect system’s energy consumption. In this thesis, we propose a measurement based energy profiling tool to assist software designer to determine different software design choices. The measurement based tool records target device’s power samples and system activities simultaneously, and correlating them together to generate device’s energy consumption report. Previous researches use statistical sampling or manual instrument method to record device’s system activities which may increase system overhead and lack of flexibility. We adopt dynamic source instrument technique and provide a GUI front-end tool to profile on the native (non-Java) part of Android system. The fine-grained process-level, function-level and code block-level performance and energy profiling reports are provided. The experiment results show the correctness of proposed profiling tool with low instrument overhead (0.02 milliseconds per function calls).

Повний текст джерелаDrinking water treatment plants in South Africa rely almost entirely on surface water sources, which are often compromised due to high return flows and indirect reuse. The typical treatment plants focus on the removal of physical and microbial contaminants which include turbidity, colour, chemical compounds and micro-organisms. A relatively new alarm to this list is natural organic matter (NOM) which has become a major concern in potable water treatment due to its recent regulation. Conventionally, the drive to remove NOM from potable water would be the desire to remove colour from public water supplies. However, more problems in drinking water treatment associated with NOM have been recently identified. These include taste and odour, its tendency to foul membranes, interference with the removal of other contaminants and its potential to contribute to corrosion and slime growth in distribution systems. Moreover, it causes high demands for coagulants and disinfectants. The NOM is also the main precursor for disinfection by-products (DBPs) formed when it interacts with disinfectants such as chlorine during water disinfection. In this study, different raw water samples, of different NOM composition were collected from selected sources across the country and assessed for the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and UV absorbance at a wavelength of 254 nm (UV 254) using enhanced coagulation (EC). The efficacy of EC, which can be employed as a practical technology in the removal of both turbidity and NOM, was evaluated in these raw water sources. Jar tests were conducted with ferric chloride as the coagulant, and specific pH values were chosen as target values guiding the different coagulant dosages for the jar tests. The pH of the low-alkalinity (<60 mg/ℓ CaCO3) raw waters were adjusted and raised by the addition of sodium carbonate. Algorithms for finding the optimum coagulant dosage for both turbidity and UV 254 removal were developed and consistently applied to all the results in independent v batch tests, in which residual amounts of UV 254, DOC and turbidity were measured. The raw water parameters and results obtained from these tests were used to develop feed-forward multiplicative models predicting the performance of EC using ferric chloride. The results showed that the raw waters chosen were, indeed, representative of the different water types present in South Africa, and that the general water characteristics were affected by seasonal variations. The EC procedure developed was able to reduce turbidity to levels low enough for removal by subsequent treatment steps in the water treatment train. The residual UV 254 values were in all cases lower than 6 m-1, which theoretically corresponds to about 3.5 mg/ℓ DOC. This was confirmed by the residual DOC values which were found to be lower than 4 mg/ℓ. Generally, the waters of South Africa were found to be amenable to coagulation. In almost all cases, the costs for EC were comparable to those for conventional coagulation, hence EC could be employed as a NOM removal strategy in the South African context.
