Title: RARE EVENT SIMULATION FOR FINANCIAL MODELING WITH INTERACTING PATH SYSTEMS AND QUASI-MONTE CARLO METHODS
Creator: Silva, Tiago M.

Show moreThe variance of the estimation of the probability γ that an event occurs using IID Monte Carlo Methods is inversely proportional to the sample size M, Var[ˆγ] = γ(1 − γ)/M. If we fix the relative standard deviation at 10% when estimating the probability of a rare event γ ≪ 1, the necessary sample size may reach values that are computationally not acceptable. This is very common in the Finance Industry when trying to estimate the joint default probabilities of 15 stocks in a portfolio of 100 stocks. De Moral and Patras [1] presented a new variance reduction technique called Interacting Path System (IPaS), which showed to be very efficient in a rare event situation. Our objective is to run some simulations in order to verify its efficiency against other variance reduction techniques found in the literature as well as implement new modifications using quasi-Monte Carlo methods in order to increase its efficiency. We run several simulations of rare and non-rare scenarios using IID Monte Carlo methods, quasi-Monte Carlo Methods and IPaS for the purpose of estimating the efficiency of IPaS. Moreover, we modified the current IPaS algorithm and implemented low discrepancy points in order to obtain a better estimator. We have found that IPaS technique is indeed more efficient than the well-known estimators in rare event scenarios, but quasi Monte Carlo methods is preferable if it is not a rare event. In addition to this, we have shown that the modified IPaS is even better than IPaS technique under rare event cases and it is similar to quasi Monte Carlo methods under non-rare events. However, in problems with higher dimensions, the efficiency of modified IPaS does not differ from IPaS results.

Title: The Development of T7 Phage Based Imaging Probe and the Nature of Floating Cells in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Culture

Show moreTarget specific nanoparticle based nuclear imaging probes have attracted significant attention recently. In most of the cases, these probes were synthesized by conjugating both affinity reagent and chelator molecules on the particle surface chemically. Subsequently, the isotope ions were attached to the particles via metalchelator interactions. Due to the nature of bio-conjugation process, the number of the chelator molecules and the geometry of the affinity reagent are hard to control. To overcome these limitations, a new approach of constructing an imaging probe was developed. In specific, T7 phage was used as a vehicle to synthesize a particle based imaging probe by displaying peptide that had both metal chelating (6 histidine) and targeting (RGD domains on the phage surface. It was demonstrated that the attachment of copper ions to the metal chelating domain does not interfere with target binding. Furthermore, by reducing the metal ions to metal, we were able to generate a very stable peptide templated metal hybrid T7 phage particle as potential target specific imaging probe. The behavior of the probes against both normal and tumor cells was investigated. The presence of floating cells is a common phenomenon in human embryonic stem (hES) cell cultures. Current assumption for the source of floating cells is that they are from apoptosis / senescence, cellular differentiation and other unavoidable imperfections in culture conditions. Inspired by recent studies on mitotic activities in stem cell colony, we believe the existence of floating cells is resulting from essential events required for hES cells proliferation. It was discovered that not all floating cells are dead and the percentage of floating cells over the attached cells was significantly increased with culture time possibly due to the space limitation for cells in the central part of the colonies. By providing more horizontal or vertical space through colony cutting and overlaid membrane insert in the Z direction, the percentages of floating cells were significantly reduced. All these results indicate that continuous cell division across the colonies is responsible for the emergence of floating cells during hES cell culture.

Title: DOES EMOTION REGULATION MEDIATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COGNITIVE FLEXIBLITY AND ADAPTIVE FUNCTIONING?

Show moreEmotion regulation, cognitive flexibility, and adaptive functioning have been found to be interrelated. This study examined whether emotion regulation mediates the relationship between cognitive flexibility and adaptive functioning using the Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale, Wisconsin Card-Sorting Test, and Scales of Independent Behavior-Revised, respectively. Forty-three participants were recruited from New Directions for Young Adults, a transitional independent living facility in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Thirty-one participants (72.1%) were male and age ranged from 18 and 43 years (mean (SD) = 22.6 (5.0)). The mean (SD) time spent at the facility at the time of assessment was 18.3 (26.8) months. Emotion regulation did not significantly mediate the relationship between cognitive flexibility and adaptive functioning, including when controlling for age, gender, and time at facility. Controlling for gender and time at facility resulted in a significant total effect of cognitive flexibility on adaptive functioning. The Awareness aspect of emotion regulation, was significantly correlated with both cognitive flexibility and adaptive functioning; however, it did not significantly mediate their relationship. Several explanations for these findings are evaluated in the context of the relationships among these constructs, and of the population studied.

Title: METHOD TO STABILIZE SUSPENDED DECKS IN DOUBLE WALLED STORAGE TANKS

Show moreThe safe storage of natural resources, such as liquefied natural gas or propane, is essential to the public and companies that distribute these resources. Large diameter, double walled cylindrical storage tanks are the typical structure used to store these natural resources. One of the design factors that commonly govern the structural integrity of the tank is the design seismic response spectra. A component of the tank that is not given much consideration in the industry codes is the suspended insulated deck. The purpose of the deck is to provide a layer of insulation just above the liquid level of the product. This helps control the release of gases that boil off from the product. Despite this deck being made of thin plate material, this can be a considerable mass on large diameter tanks once the insulation and deck stiffeners are accounted for. The supports for the deck are typically one-half inch or sixteen millimeter square rods, which do not provide much lateral resistance. The concern this thesis investigates is what occurs to the suspended deck during an earthquake. By treating the outermost ring of rods as a moment frame, the summation of each rod’s lateral stiffness provides the total deck stiffness and natural period of the structure as a single-degree-of-freedom system. It is determined the standard design is likely to collide with other vital components of the tank under certain seismic events. In order to prevent the deck from potentially damaging these components, the conservative route is to increase the stiffness of the deck until the displacements are within an allowable range. viii This is done by installing a tank specific number of braced frames around the outer perimeter of the deck. The above procedure is a simple method to ensure there are no unexpected collisions between tank components. More time consuming methods, such as finite element analysis may show that the standard design can sufficiently withstand any collisions. However, the ability to provide a quick, easy solution with minimal added construction materials is a considerable advantage when ensuring the safety of the storage tank.
