SAFEGUARDING AI SYSTEMS AGAINST UNEXPECTED INPUTS
… When facing unseen or otherwise challenging inputs, models often make incorrect decisions without warning users. This thesis improves the safety of machine learning systems by building three stages for handling challenging/unexpected inputs: (1) rejecting unexpected inputs with an …

Subcortical Inputs Governing Cortical Network Activity
… dynamics, as well as the sources of sensory inputs in different cortical layers of the rat somatosensory system. Mammalian brains generate internal activity independent of environmental stimuli. Internally generated states may bring about distinct cortical processing modes. To investigate how …

Utilizing network features to detect erroneous inputs
… are vulnerable to a wide range of erroneous inputs such as corrupted, out-of-distribution, misclassified, and adversarial examples. Previously, separate solutions have been proposed for each of these faulty data types; however, in this work I show that the collective set of erroneous inputs …

Iron inputs from sediments to the oceans
… explores the nature and ubiquity of iron (Fe) inputs from sediments to the<br/>oceans. In the last 10 years continental shelf sediments have become widely recognised<br/>as important vectors for dissolved Fe inputs to the oceans, where bacterial dissimilatory<br/>Fe-reduction (DIR) promotes the …

Organisation of Glutamatergic Inputs to Central amygdala
… is a dominant direct recipient of parabrachial inputs, constituting a pathway that has been implicated in pain. However, molecular mechanisms at PB-CeLC synapses driving nociception remains unclear. In present study, we demonstrate the role of synaptic organizer glutamate receptor delta 1 …

High Efficiency Topologies for Dual Voltage Inputs
Growing concerns about climate change have led governments to update their policies to require better efficiency in appliance power supplies. Additionally, consumer demand and economic drives in the last few decades have reduced the power supply cost and size. Another emerging trend in recent years …

Evaluation of boolean formulas with restricted inputs
… can run much faster on a certain set of inputs, and that there is a super-polynomial separation between the quantum algorithm and the classical lower bound on this problem. I will apply this analysis to quantum walks on decision trees, as described in [3], giving a class of decision trees …

Dopamine Modulates Corticostriatal Inputs During Motor Command Signalilng
… are thought to be triggered by cortical inputs as these glutamatergic inputs provide the main excitatory drive to the striatal output neurons. Dopamine is a crucial modulator of corticostriatal activity and loss of its normal function plays an important role in the pathophysiology of …

Anomalous Inputs in Deep Learning: a Probabilistic Perspective
… Both of these tasks are concerned with anomalous inputs to a neural network, but they have so far been addressed by two different bodies of literature, using different sets of tools. In this thesis I introduce a probabilistic framework that I call the `three distribution problem', which unifies …

Educational inputs and student outcomes in South Africa
South Africa has a notoriously inefficient public schooling system. Levels of educational attainment and achievement are low given the large amount of resources devoted to schools. Improving student outcomes requires the examination of both family-back ground factors such as parental education and …

Eclat : automatic generation and classification of test inputs
… technique that selects, from a large set of test inputs, a small subset likely to reveal faults in the software under test. The technique takes a program or software component, plus a set of correct executions-say, from observations of the software running properly, or from an existing test suite …

Automatic testing of software with structurally complex inputs
… for such software, manual generation of the inputs in the suite, is tedious and error-prone. This dissertation proposes a new approach for specifying properties of structurally complex test inputs; presents a technique that automates generation of such inputs; describes the Korat tool that …

Effects of Subsidized inputs on legume production in Zambia
One of the major causes of low crop yield in smallholder farming systems in Zambia is poor soil nutrients. In order to address this problem, the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) introduced an input subsidy program aimed at making inorganic fertilizers and improved maize seed cheaply …

Transient flow boiling CHF under exponentially escalating heat inputs
Reactivity initiated accidents (RIAs) are a potential concern for nuclear reactor safety. In RIA scenarios, following the insertion of positive reactivity, e.g. by an unanticipated extraction of the control rods, the reactor power may increase exponentially. The period of the exponential rise, τ, …
