Moon, Ilkyeong.This thesis describes a traffic-aware routing problem with shared autonomous vehicles by incorporating jams along traffic flow due to the large population of vehicles in the network. This anticipates that autonomous vehicles will replace privately owned vehicles in the future. To provide an efficient shared common service, the dial-a-ride problem is combined with the traffic flow model to satisfy demand (origin-destination pairs), producing a system-optimal traffic assignment problem solution. Macroscopic traffic flow is modelled via the two--regime transmission model (TTM), utilizing inflow and outflow for each link. The optimal solution demonstrates that an appropriate number of vehicles is utilized regardless of the demand or fleet size due to congestion limitations.๋ณธ ์—ฐ๊ตฌ๋Š” ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ๋‚ด ๊ตํ†ต ํ๋ฆ„ ํ˜ผ์žก์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณต์œ  ์ž์œจ์ฃผํ–‰ ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ๊ฒฝ๋กœ๋ฌธ์ œ(Shared Autonomous Vehicle Routing Problem)๋ฅผ ๋‹ค๋ฃจ๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ฌธ์ œ๋Š” ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ž์œจ์ฃผํ–‰์ฐจ๊ฐ€ ๊ฐœ์ธ ์†Œ์œ ์˜ ์ฐจ๋ฅผ ๋Œ€์ฒดํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ์‹œ์ž‘๋˜์—ˆ๋‹ค. ํšจ์œจ์ ์ธ ๊ณต์œ  ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด, ๊ธฐ์กด์˜ ๋‹ค์ด์–ผ ์–ด ๋ผ์ด๋“œ(Dial-A-Ride) ๋ฌธ์ œ์— ์ถœ๋ฐœ์ง€์™€ ๋„์ฐฉ์ง€ ๊ฐ„์˜ ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๋„๋ก ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ตํ†ต ํ๋ฆ„ ๋ชจ๋ธ์„ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉํ•ด ์ตœ์ ์˜ ๊ตํ†ต ํ• ๋‹น ๋ฌธ์ œ๋ฅผ ์ œ์•ˆํ•œ๋‹ค. ๊ฑฐ์‹œ์ ์ธ ๊ตํ†ต ํ๋ฆ„์€ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ๊ฐ ๋งํฌ์— ์œ ์ž… ๋ฐ ์œ ์ถœ์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•œ ์ด์ค‘ ์ฒด์ œ ์ „์†ก(Two Regime Transmission) ๋ชจ๋ธ์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•œ๋‹ค. ํ˜ผ์žก์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์ œ์•ฝ๋“ค๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์ˆ˜์š” ๋ฐ ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ํฌ๊ธฐ์™€ ๊ด€๊ณ„์—†์ด ์ตœ์ ์˜ ํ•ด์—์„œ๋Š” ์ตœ๋Œ€ ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ์ˆ˜๊ฐ€ ํ™œ์šฉ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Œ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค€๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ, ํ”ผํฌ ๊ตํ†ต ์‹œ๊ฐ„๋Œ€์—์„œ๋Š” ์ˆ˜์š”์— ๋”ฐ๋ฅธ ์ตœ์ ์˜ ๊ตํ†ต ํ• ๋‹น๊ณผ ์ฐจ๋Ÿ‰ ํฌ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์–ป์–ด ๊ตํ†ต ํ˜ผ์žก์— ํ™œ์šฉํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค.Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1.1.

    Phosphorylation of androgen receptors at serine 515 is a potential prognostic marker for triple negative breast cancer

    1.7 million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed every year with 522,000 deaths. Molecular classifications of breast cancer have resulted in improved treatments. However, treatments for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are lacking. Analysis of molecular targets for TNBC is a priority. One potential candidate is androgen receptor (AR) phosphorylation. This study assessed the role of AR phosphorylation at ser81/ser515 and their two upstream effectors, cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (pCDK1) and extracellular-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) in 332 ductal breast cancer patients by immunohistochemistry. pERK1/2 combined with AR-515 associated with improved cancer-specific survival (CSS, p = 0.038), decreased size (p = 0.001), invasive grade (p < 0.001), necrosis (p = 0.003), b-lymphocytes (p = 0.020), molecular subtype (p < 0.001) and estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR)-status (p < 0.001). The cohort was therefore stratified into ER+ve and ER-ve patients. In ER+ve tumours, pERK1/2 combined with AR-515 associated with improved CSS (p = 0.038), smaller size (p = 0.004), invasive grade (p = 0.001), decreased b-lymphocytes (p = 0.013) and increased plasma cells (p = 0.048). In contrast, in TNBC patients, phosphorylation of AR-515 associated with poorer CSS (p = 0.007). pERK1/2 combined with AR-515 associated with decreased inflammation (p = 0.003), increased tumour stroma (p = 0.003) and tumour budding (p = 0.011), with trends towards decrease CSS (p = 0.065) and macrophage levels (p = 0.093). In Conclusions, AR-515 may be an important regulator of inflammation in breast cancer potential via ERK1/2 phosphorylation. AR-515 is a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target for TNBC

    Low-latency XPath Query Evaluation on Multi-Core Processors

    XML and the XPath querying language have become ubiquitous data and querying standards used in many industrial settings and across the World-Wide Web. The high latency of XPath queries over large XML databases remains a problem for many applications. While this latency could be reduced by parallel execution, issues such as work partitioning, memory contention, and load imbalance may diminish the benefits of parallelization. We propose three parallel XPath query engines: Static Work Partitioning, Work Queue, and Producer- Consumer-Hybrid. All three engines attempt to solve the issue of load imbalance while minimizing sequential execution time and overhead. We analyze their performance on sets of synthetic and real-world datasets. Results obtained on two multi-core platforms show that while load-balancing is easily achieved for most synthetic datasets, real-world datasets prove more challenging. Nevertheless, our Producer-Consumer-Hybrid query engine achieves good results across the board (speedup up to 6.31 on an 8-core platform)

    Coherently complete algebraic stacks in positive characteristic

    Full text link
    With the long-term goal of proving local structure theorems of algebraic stacks in positive characteristic near points with reductive (but possibly non-linearly reductive) stabilizer, we conjecture that quotient stacks of the form [Specโ€‰A/G][\mathrm{Spec}\, A/G], with GG reductive and AGA^G complete local, are coherently complete along the unique closed point. We establish this conjecture in two interesting cases: (1) AGA^G is artinian and (2) GG acts trivially on Specโ€‰A\mathrm{Spec}\, A. We also establish coherent completeness results for graded unipotent group actions. In order to establish these results, we prove a number of foundational statements concerning cohomological and completeness properties of algebraic stacks -- including on how these properties ascend and descend along morphisms.Comment: 35 pages, comments welcome

    A multi-species functional embedding integrating sequence and network structure

    Full text link
    A key challenge to transferring knowledge between species is that different species have fundamentally different genetic architectures. Initial computational approaches to transfer knowledge across species have relied on measures of heredity such as genetic homology, but these approaches suffer from limitations. First, only a small subset of genes have homologs, limiting the amount of knowledge that can be transferred, and second, genes change or repurpose functions, complicating the transfer of knowledge. Many approaches address this problem by expanding the notion of homology by leveraging high-throughput genomic and proteomic measurements, such as through network alignment. In this work, we take a new approach to transferring knowledge across species by expanding the notion of homology through explicit measures of functional similarity between proteins in different species. Specifically, our kernel-based method, HANDL (Homology Assessment across Networks using Diffusion and Landmarks), integrates sequence and network structure to create a functional embedding in which proteins from different species are embedded in the same vector space. We show that inner products in this space and the vectors themselves capture functional similarity across species, and are useful for a variety of functional tasks. We perform the first whole-genome method for predicting phenologs, generating many that were previously identified, but also predicting new phenologs supported from the biological literature. We also demonstrate the HANDL embedding captures pairwise gene function, in that gene pairs with synthetic lethal interactions are significantly separated in HANDL space, and the direction of separation is conserved across species. Software for the HANDL algorithm is available at http://bit.ly/lrgr-handl.Published versio

    Long term cognitive outcomes of early term (37-38 weeks) and late preterm (34-36 weeks) births: a systematic review

    Get PDF
    Background: There is a paucity of evidence regarding long-term outcomes of late preterm (34-36 weeks) and early term (37-38 weeks) delivery.ย  The objective of this systematic review was to assess long-term cognitive outcomes of children born at these gestations. Methods: Four electronic databases (Medline, Embase, clinicaltrials.gov and PsycINFO) were searched.ย  Last search was 5 th August 2016. ย Studies were included if they reported gestational age, IQ measure and the ages assessed.ย  The protocol was registered with the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO Record CRD42015015472).ย  Two independent reviewers assessed the studies.ย  Data were abstracted and critical appraisal performed of eligible papers. Results: Of 11,905 potential articles, seven studies reporting on 41,344 children were included.ย  For early term births, four studies (n = 35,711) consistently showed an increase in cognitive scores for infants born at full term (39-41 weeks) compared to those born at early term (37-38 weeks) with increases for each week of term (difference between 37 and 40 weeks of around 3 IQ points), despite differences in age of testing and method of IQ/cognitive testing.ย  Four studies (n = 5644) reporting childhood cognitive outcomes of late preterm births (34 - 36 weeks) also differed in study design (cohort and case control); age of testing; and method of IQ testing, and found no differences in outcomes between late preterm and term births, although risk of bias was high in included studies. Conclusion:ย  Children born at 39-41 weeks have higher cognitive outcome scores compared to those born at early term (37-38 weeks).ย  This should be considered when discussing timing of delivery.ย  For children born late preterm, the data is scarce and when compared to full term (37-42 weeks) did not show any difference in IQ scores
