    MACHINE-LEARNING BASED CLASSIFICATION OF TEXTUAL STIMULI TO PROMOTE IDEATION IN BIOINSPIRED DESIGN A Dissertation by MICHAEL W. GLIER Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Daniel A. McAdams Co-Chair of Committee, Julie S. Linsey Committee Members, Richard J Malak Tracy A. Hammond Head of Department, Andreas Polycarpou August 2013 Major Subject: Mechanical Engineering Copyright 2013 Michael W. Glier ABSTRACT Bioinspired design uses biological systems to inspire engineering designs. One of bioinspired design’s challenges is identifying relevant information sources in biology for an engineering design task. Currently information can be retrieved by searching biology texts or journals using biology-focused keywords that map to engineering functions. However, this search technique can overwhelm designers with unusable results. This work explores the use of text classification tools to identify relevant biology passages for design. Further, this research examines the effects of using biology passages as stimuli during idea generation. Four human-subjects studies are examined in this work. Two surveys are performed in which participants evaluate sentences from a biology corpus and indicate whether each sentence prompts an idea for solving a specific design problem. The surveys are used to develop and evaluate text classification tools. Two idea generation studies are performed in which participants generate and record solutions for designing a corn shucker using either different sets of biology passages as design stimuli, or no stimuli. Based 286 sentences from the surveys, a k Nearest Neighbor classifier is developed that is able to identify helpful sentences relating to the function “separate” with a precision of 0.62 and recall of 0.48.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT A study on the cell biology of motility inEimeria tenella sporozoites Eimeria tenella is an obligate intracellular parasite within the phylum Apicomplexa. It is the causative agent of coccidiosis in domesticated chickens and under modem farming conditions can have a considerable economic impact. Motility is employed by the sporozoite to effect release from the sporocyst and enable invasion of appropriate host cells and occurs at an average speed of 16.7 ± 6 pms'\ Frame by frame video analysis of gliding motility shows it to be an erratic non­ substrate specific process and this observation was confirmed by studies of bead translocation across the cell surface occurring at an average speed of 16.9 ± 7.6 pms'^ Incubation with cytochalasin D, 2,3-butanedione monoxime and colchicine, known inhibitors of the motility associated proteins actin, myosin and tubulin respectively, indicated that it is an actomyosin complex which generates the force to power sporozoite motility.

  • Spatial Organization of Large Cells
    Spatial Organization of Large Cells A dissertation presented by Martin Helmut Wuehr to The Committee on Higher Degrees in Systems Biology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Systems Biology Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts March 2010 i © 2010 – Martin H. Wuehr All rights reserved. ii Timothy John Mitchison Martin Helmut Wuehr Spatial Organization of Large Cells Abstract The rationale for my research was to investigate unusually large cells, fertilized frog and fish eggs, to obtain a unique perspective on a cell’s spatial organization with a focus on cell division. First, we investigated how spindle size changes during cleavage stages while cell size changes by orders of magnitude. To do so we improved techniques for immunofluorescence in amphibian embryos and generated a transgenic fish line with fluorescently labeled microtubules. We show that in smaller cells spindle length scales with cell length, but in very large cells spindle length approaches an upper limit and seems uncoupled from cell size. Furthermore, we were able to assemble mitotic spindles in embryonic extract that had similar size as in vivo spindles. This indicates that spindle size is set by a mechanism that is intrinsic to the spindle and not downstream of cell size. Second we investigated how relatively small spindles in large cells are positioned, and oriented for symmetric cell division. We show that the localization and orientation of these spindles are determined by location and iii orientation of sister centrosomes set by the anaphase-telophase aster of the previous cycle. Third we researched the mechanism by which asters center and align centrosomes relative to the longest axis.
