Oxygen isotope, cathodoluminescence, and titanium in quartz geothermometry in the Alta Stock, UT: geothermical insights into pluton assembly and early cooling history

description: The Alta Stock in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah is a well-studied intrusion and  is associated with a large, well-developed contact aureole; thus, the stock provides an  excellent opportunity to test new geochemical approaches for investigating the assembly  history of plutons. A combination of oxygen isotope analysis, cathodoluminescence  imaging, and Ti-in-quartz geothermometry (TitaniQ) was undertaken to document the  geochemical signatures of the stock and to examine how these are related to pluton  emplacement, growth, and early cooling history. These results suggest a complex  assembly and cooling history for the Alta stock.  The delta18 O values from whole rock, quartz, feldspar, biotite, magnetite, and  hornblende reveal that these minerals have exchanged oxygen isotopes into the subsolidus  ( 5 5 0 - 6 5 0 ° C ) . Quartz delta18 0 values range from 8.9%o to 10.0%o, and do not correlate  in any obvious way with location within the stock, nor do they correlate with rock type  (i.e., granodiorite, mafic enclave, aplite, etc.). Most (0.9%o) of this l.l%o variation may  be accounted for by variations in abundance of quartz, the temperature at which it  equilibrated with other minerals, and in the extent of subsolidus exchange with  hydrothermal fluid. Thus clearly identifying magma increments is difficult in the Alta  Stock using major mineral delta18 O values.

description: Lifting heavy loads is a major concern for workers and employers as it may contribute to low back pain (LBP). Although a workstation may be ergonomically abated  so as to reduce lifting, it is not reasonable to completely eliminate all lifting from some jobs. For this reason, a great deal of work has been done to study the biomechanics of different lifting techniques. More recently, in an effort to reduce the risk involved with  lifting, new technology is emerging that aids with human-powered lifting. A Lift Assist Device (LAD) is a mechanical aid that supports some of the forces or torques during lifting, by transferring them to an area with a lower risk of injury.  The main objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of LAD designs, and identify key features to be incorporated into future LAD designs.  Ten healthy male participants tested 36 combinations of four LAD conditions (three different designs and nonassisted), at three different speeds (slow, medium, fast), and with three twisting conditions (left, forward, right). The LAD designs included three unique methods for generating torque, two prototypes, and one commercially available device.  Many statistically significant (p<0.05) differences between devices and between lifting postures were identified. These differences were examined to show strengths and weaknesses in the effect of each LAD. This information may be useful when choosing a specific type of LAD for a particular job and when considering future designs for LADs.

title: Alternative indicators in cancer survival analysis: Estimation on cause-specific and relative survival setting using flexible regression models and pseudo-observations
Creators: name: Kipourou, DK
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2020

description: Analyses of time-to-event outcomes almost infallibly rely either on the survival probability at a given time or on the hazard ratio(s) associated with some variable(s) of interest. However, these quantities may be confusing and hard to communicate to the general public. Furthermore, when cancer is the disease of interest most population-based studies focus on the net survival. Net survival is crucial for comparison purposes between populations, but it is less appropriate for planning a health policy or describing a patient’s prognosis, because it is defined in the hypothetical world. Therefore, it is essential that we use alternative survival indicators that could cover these needs, and that could be estimated using population-based data, where the cause of death is usually not available/accurate. Useful alternative indicators that could summarize the survival experience efficiently at both population and individual levels include: the Crude Probability of Death (CPr) and the number of Life years Lost (LYL) detailed by cause of death. These indicators may be expressed using the cause-specific, the subdistribution, and the excess hazard depending on the availability of the cause of death information (ie, either in the cause-specific or the relative survival setting). Their estimation could be achieved with non-parametric methods and regression models. The aim of this PhD is to add to this topic by presenting two new methods for estimating the CPr and the LYL using flexible regression models (in both settings) and the pseudoobservations approach (in the relative survival setting). These methods have the additional advantage of providing covariate effects on the quantities of interest. This thesis includes one paper summarising the alternative indicators, two scientific papers that focus on the new methods, and two R tutorials that show how the new methods may be applied to R software.

Omni-directional Wheelchair

description: Increased demand for powered wheelchairs and their inherent mobility limitations have prompted the development of omnidirectional wheelchairs. These wheelchairs provide improved mobility in confined spaces, but can be more difficult to control and  impact the ability of the user to embody the wheelchair. We hypothesize that control and embodiment of omnidirectional wheelchairs can be improved by providing intuitive control with three degree of freedom (3-DOF) haptic feedback that directly corresponds  to the degrees of freedom of an omnidirectional wheelchair. This thesis introduces a novel 3-DOF Haptic Joystick designed for the purpose of controlling omnidirectional wheelchairs. When coupled with range finders, it is able to provide the user with feedback that improves the operator's awareness of the area surrounding the vehicle and assists the driver in obstacle avoidance. The haptic controller design and a stability  analysis of the coupled wheelchair joystick systems are presented. Experimental results from the coupled systems validate the ability of the controller to influence the trajectory of the wheelchair and assist in obstacle avoidance.

Decision-making processes used by pediatric and neonatal intensive care unit nurses in medicating infants for postoperative pain
Creators: name: Seifert-Hultgren, Marianne
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Drug Therapy

description: Neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit nurses from two Intermountain West referral centers participated in a study to discern decision-making processes in administering analgesics to postoperative infants. The study utilized a qualitative questionnaire involving clinical scenarios regarding medication practices. Patient medication records were reviewed to discover the trends of medication administration practices for postoperative infants in the previous year. The results of the study demonstrated no influence of demographic variables on the assessment or treatment of pain in infants and few differences between neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit nurses' philosophies or practices. Work experience was identified as the major influence over analgesic administration. Nurses identified crying as the major indicator of pain in infants. Eighty percent of nurses share the goal of pain relief and 67% choose to administer analgesics as their first action after making the diagnosis of pain. Confusion exists regarding analgesia and sedation. Needs for nursing education are identified.

Agreement in Tuyuca
Creators: name: Bowles, Joshua Wayne
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Tuyuca language
Agreement

description: The main premise of this thesis is that subject agreement morphology in Tuyuca can be isolated from the rest of the morphology. Subject agreement appears on evidentials, nominalizers, animate classifiers, gerunds, and verb stems requiring an auxiliary. This agreement is instantiated by a pervasive final vowel pattern that codes various values of gender, number, and person features. These final vowels also code the  same information on nouns and pronouns. Before arguing for my analysis I provide some  preliminary material on Tuyuca. Chapter 1 is a brief discussion of the sociolinguistic context of the language. Chapter 2 discusses issues relevant to Tuyuca data and surveys some of the literature related to Tuyuca; it also discusses some methodological concerns arising from the data and important to the thesis in general. Chapter 3 is a brief sketch of Tuyuca grammar important to agreement. Analysis is done in Chapters 4 and 5.  In Chapter 4 I argue, in a descriptive-typological framework, that by isolating agreement a general deverbalizing function can be seen coded in the morpheme /-g-/. This morpheme has predictable interpretations in restricted morphosyntactic environments. It can be interpreted as a progressive or perfective aspect, an animate classifier, a gerund, and a nominalizer. In Chapter 5 I relate the general premise of isolating agreement in Tuyuca to theoretical issues belonging to the Minimalist Program. I show that isolating agreement morphemes from evidentials is, assuming the analysis in Chapter 4, straightforward. This has a practical advantage of making it easier to observe variation between present tense and past tense morphology of the evidentials. I take this as straightforward evidence that tense is fused with evidential. I also give evidence that supports the pro-drop status of  Tuyuca, conjecturing that subject agreement is packaged with nominative case. I also argue informally that verbal inflection of tense-evidentials and subject agreement are  "extensions" of the verb phrase and relate the predication of VP to some speech time and  discourse situation of the verb event, relative to some specific world. This results in a model of functional hierarchy that places Evidential under Tense Phrase. I conjecture that this Evidential position is a predicational one, in contrast to the more accepted notions of Mood[evidential] or Modal[epistemic], which are known to be above Tense Phrase. I provide two detailed models, one with the conventional hierarchy and one with my hierarchy, arguing for the latter--based on general principles of syntactic economy and locality. I also  provide a technical analysis of syntactic locality for the morphosyntactic fusion of tenseevidentials  in a Distributed Morphology framework.

description: In response to the growing need to understand individual differences in executive functioning (EF) among non-neurologic populations, this study examined two competing theoretical models of EF among healthy, neurologically-intact individuals: the prefrontal convexity model and the hemispheric asymmetry model. A total of 315 neurologically healthy individuals (M = 20.8 years; 50% female) completed two phases of the study. In the first phase (i.e., Model Identification), latent profile analysis was applied to variables measuring the abilities to form, switch, and maintain mental sets under conditions designed to tax the left or right hemisphere (i.e., a modified switching task). In the second phase (i.e., Model Validation), latent clusters from the first phase were compared on a separate EF task (i.e., Attention Network Test; ANT). The Model Identification phase yielded a three-profile solution consistent with the hemispheric asymmetry model. Profile 1 (N=203) was characterized by average EF performances. Profile 2 (N=43) revealed a set maintenance weakness under nonverbal conditions. Profile 3 (N=38) demonstrated a global weakness in cognitive flexibility and a specific weakness on tasks administered under verbal conditions. The Model Validation phase confirmed group/cluster differences (F(4,554) = 5.938, p

description: Tools for fighting cyber-criminal activities using new technologies are promoted and deployed every day. However, too often, they are unnecessarily complex and hard to use, requiring deep domain and technical knowledge. These characteristics often limit the engagement of law enforcement and end-users in these technologies, which despite their potential, remain misunderstood. For this reason, in this study, we describe our experience in combining learning and training methods and the potential benefits of gamification to enhance technology transfer and increase adult learning. In this case, participants are experienced practitioners in professions/industries that are exposed to terrorism financing (such as law enforcement officers, financial investigation officers, private investigators). We define training activities on different levels for increasing the exchange of information about new trends and criminal modus operandi among and within law enforcement agencies, intensifying cross-border cooperation and supporting efforts to combat and prevent terrorism-funding activities. A game (hackathon) is designed to address realistic challenges related to the darknet, crypto-assets, new payment systems and dark web marketplaces that could be used for terrorist activities. The entire methodology was evaluated using quizzes, contest results and engagement metrics. In particular, training events show that ∼60% of participants complete the 11-week training course, whereas the hackathon results, gathered in two pilot studies (Madrid and The Hague), show increasing expertise among participants (progression in the points achieved on average). At the same time, more than 70% of participants positively evaluate use of the gamification approach, and more than 85% consider the implemented use cases suitable for their investigations. These outcomes are further discussed to detect the introduced approach's benefits and limitations and improve future events.

Subjects: Oil sands

description: A process for thermal recovery of oil from tar sands is described, which consists essentially of two steps.  In the first step, mined and suitably sized tar sand is pyrolyzed at temperatures of 450 to 550 degrees Celsius in an inert atmosphere to crack and volatilize most of the contained bitumen.  The bitumen vapor is then condensed and collected to give synthetic crude oil.  In the second step, coke formed as a by-product in the first step is combusted with air at temperatures of about 55 to 650 degrees celsius.

description: Seven new phenylpropanoids, including two pairs of enantiomers of 8-O-4′-type neolignans, named (±)-xanthiifructins A-B (1a/1b-2a/2b), a pair of simple phenylpropanoid derivatives (±)-xanthiifructins C (3a/3b), and a racemic phenylpropanoid derivative xanthiifructin D (4), together with four known analogues (5-8) were isolated from the fruits of Xanthium sibiricum. Racemic xanthiifructins A-C were separated on chiral HPLC columns. Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with the literatures. The anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities were evaluated for all isolates. Among them, (-)-xanthiifructin C (3b) exhibited potent inhibitory effect against nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cells with an IC50 value of 9.94 ± 0.57 μM. All compounds obviously were inactive for three human tumor cell lines (MCF-7, HepG2, and A549) with IC50 values much more than 10 μM.
Development of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer prestressing system for structural applications

description: Prestressed concrete has been a significant contributor to the success of modern civil engineering projects because it allows longer spans and lighter members to be  constructed. Despite the usefulness of prestressed concrete, a major disadvantage is the susceptibility of steel prestressing tendons to corrosion. Corrosion can be accelerated by vehicular impact damage which removes concrete cover, exposing the tendons to the elements. If damaged members can be repaired with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, total replacement of the structure can be avoided. FRP composites are  excellent candidates for use in prestressing because of their light weight, superior resistance to corrosion, and comparable strength to steel.  Post-tensioned external FRP tendons can be implemented to restore capacity lost through corrosion or damage or meet increased load requirements; however, there are three obstacles that have hindered wide implementation of external FRP post-tensioning  in rehabilitation and retrofit applications. The following obstacles inhibit implementation: the lack of a suitable anchorage device to maintain the post-tensioning force in the FRP tendons, the lack of an innovative stressing device that reduces the requirement for a significant amount of free space behind the post-tensioned member, and the lack of design equations detailing the use of FRP tendons for field applications.  This research involves overcoming the three aforementioned obstacles. The first part of this research is concerned with the development of a unibody clamp anchor that controls slip and stress concentrations in post-tensioned carbon fiber reinforced polymer  (CFRP) rods. Additionally, finite element modeling was employed to conduct a relative comparison of the anchor performance across four different design generations. A second objective of the research was to design and implement a simple mechanical stressing device and the unibody clamp anchors to damaged reinforced concrete beams controlled by shear and damaged prestressed concrete beams controlled by flexure. The final  objective considered in the research was an evaluation of design equations from the literature. In short, this research as a whole demonstrates the ability to utilize external post-tensioned CFRP rods for structural repair applications, and forecasts their potential for more widespread use.

Investigation of marine-derived fungi for bioactive natural products

Year: 2012
Subjects: Aspergillus niger
Aplidium
Pencillium brocae. Yanuthones

description: The projects described in this dissertation are mainly focused on exploration of marine-derived fungi as a source of new pharmacologically active natural products. Fungi are prolific sources of medically useful secondary metabolites. Currently, fungi from marine habitats are relatively unexplored when compared to their terrestrial counterparts. The chemistry from marine-derived fungi is reviewed in Chapter 1.  Chapter 2 describes fermentation studies performed on a series of marine-derived fungi. Although the fungi are not obligate marine fungal species, they are highly salt tolerant and some show increased production of antimicrobial secondary metabolites when cultured in the presence of artificial seawater. Overall, Chapter 2 summarizes the antimicrobial activities of nine fungal isolates that were grown using six different concentrations of artificial seawater.  A class of antimicrobial famesylated epoxycyclohexenones, the yanuthones, is described in Chapter 3. The yanuthones were isolated fi^om an Aspergillus niger obtained from the tissue homogenate of an orange Aplidium sp. tunicate. The fermentation, the isolation, the structural elucidation, and the antimicrobial activities are discussed.  Chapter 4 describes the first chemical investigation of a. Penicillium brocae. P. brocae is a rare species that had been formally described concurrently with the investigation described in Chapter 4. Fermentation of the P. brocae isolate resulted in the production of a novel class of polyketides, brocaenols A, B, and C. Additionally, the known metabolites, epicorazine A and B were isolated from P. brocae. The cytotoxic activity of epicorazine A is also briefly discussed.  Chapter 5 describes two novel metabolites from a new Penicillium sp. obtained from the alga Dictyosphaeria versluyii. The isolation, structural elucidation, and antibacterial activity of two novel polyketides, dictyosphaeric acid A and B, is presented.  Chapter 6 is the only chapter that does not involve marine-derived fungi. Rather, the antibacterial properties of the highly modified diterpenoid kalihinol class of sponge metabolites are presented. The chemistry of two Acanthella cavernosa sponges is reported and includes the description of two new kahhinol analogs, 10-formamido-kalihinol F and 15-formamido-kalihinol F. The studies presented in Chapter 6 show that some kalihinols inhibit bacterial folate biosynthesis.

Pathogenic Fungi

description: A wide variety of oarbon compounds can serve as carbon sources for Candida albicans, Cryptococous neoformans and Blastomyces dermatitidis. These oarbon sources include many carbohydrates, alcohols, and organic acids.  The organisms can assimilate, as nitrogen sources, ammonium sulfate, ammonium ohloride, urea, asparagine, or peptone. Potassium nitrate is not utilized by any of these organisms. Various amino acids can serve as a nitrogen source in a synthetic medium.  Biotin is the only vitamin which must be added to a synthetic medium for the growth of Candida albicans. Cryptoooocus neoformans requires thiamine for growth. Blastomyces dermatitidis does not require preformed vitamins added to synthetic medium.  The initial hydrogen ion concentration is relatively unimportant in the ability of these organisms to multiply. All of the fungi under investigation grew in media adjusted over a pH range of 3.6 to 9.0.  A synthetic medium which will support the growth of the organisms under study consists of the following: Glucose 10.0 grams; ammonium sulfate 1.00 gram; magnesium sulfate 0.5 gram; monopotassium phosphate 1.00 gram; biotin 2 ug; thiamine 200 ug and triple distilled water 1000 ml. Biotin can be excluded from the medium for the growth of Gryptococcus neoformana, and thiamine can be excluded for growth of Candida albicans. Neither biotin nor thiamine are required in the medium for the growth of Blastomyces dermatitidis

The effect of methamphetamine on seizure threshold and epileptogenesis.
Creators: name: Qiao, Liang
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Pharmacology
Methamphetamine
Epileptogenesis

description: Epilepsy, one of the most common chronic neurological disorders, is characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures. Seizures result from many causes including genetic or developmental defects, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse, infection, fever, metabolic disturbances, withdrawal symptoms and space-occupying lesions in the brain.  Methamphetamine (METH), a schedule II drug, leads to seizures that are mostly due to overdose. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in METH-related emergencies, in which seizures are one of the most common and fatal symptoms. It is hypothesized in this dissertation that METH affects seizure threshold and epileptogenesis through its modulation of monoamine systems. This hypothesis was tested by completing the following specific aims.  Specific Aim 1 investigated the effect of METH on seizure threshold in two acute electroconvulsant (tonic hindlimb extension & 6-Hz psychomotor) and two acute chemoconvulsant (pentylenetetrazol & kainic acid) models. The results suggest that METH alters seizure threshold in a model-specific manner: METH increased the tonic hindlimb extension threshold while it decreased the threshold for 6-Hz psychomotor seizures and pentylenetetrazol-induced clonus; the threshold for kainic acid-induced seizures was not affected by METH treatment.  Specific Aim 2 explored the role of dopaminergic receptor modulation in METH-induced change of electroconvulsant seizure threshold. The data demonstrated that the D-1 antagonist SCH-23390 displayed a synergistic effect with METH in modulating tonic hindlimb extension and 6-Hz psychomotor seizure threshold, whereas an antagonistic effect was observed between the D-2 antagonist eticlopride and METH. Moreover, eticlopride blocked the SCH-23390/METH synergism in a dose-dependent manner.  Specific Aim 3 assessed the effect of METH on amygdala kindling acquisition and brain monoamine levels. Multiple METH treatment facilitated epileptogenesis by enhancing the amygdala kindling acquisition rate. Serotonin (5-HT) was found to be depleted in the limbic system (amygdala and hippocampus) and striatum. Dopamine (DA) concentration was reduced in the striatum. However, there was no change in norepinephrine (NE) levels.  In summary, METH modulates seizure threshold and facilitates epileptogenesis, which depends on its interaction with monoaminergic neurotransmission. Results obtained from this study provide important information to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying METH-related convulsions.

Breaking out of the industry: the independent games movement as resistance to hegemonic videogame discourse
Creators: name: Christiansen, Peter Anthon
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013
Subjects: Actor-Network Theory
Articulation Theory

Videogame Industry

description: The aim of this thesis is to examine the way that the videogame industry has evolved as a complex sociotechnological system and how the discourse surrounding the industry, as well as videogames as a medium of expression, has shaped that development. This shift in the nature of videogame creation from individual authors and small studios to the monolithic entity known as "the Industry" was accompanied by the creation of an ideology that defines the identity of a community and places constraints on videogames as a medium. This is the ideology of the "hardcore" gamer. In order to understand this ideology, its impact and its significance, I will focus on the discourse surrounding the videogame industry and particularly on the limits of this discourse. One such area of discourse where antagonisms arise is in the growing community of independent game developers. The independent games movement can be looked at as a direct result of what Laclau and Mouffe refer to as articulation - the process by which relationships are established in such a way as to alter the identities of the elements themselves. As the videogame industry became increasingly articulated, the identities of games, gamers and game makers became more and more narrowly defined. This increased areas of antagonism within the discourse, allowing for resistance and the possibility of disarticulation. Though the independent games movement has grown substantially in recent years, the degree to which this movement resists the ideology of the videogame industry is unclear, as is the role of the technology in this process. This paper will examine these relationships through the discourse of both the mainstream videogame industry as well as that of the independent games community.

description: Eine Abschrift eines Kopisten nach zwei Autographen, welche sich im Besitz von Johann Heinrich Brucker II (1690-1761) bzw. seines Sohnes Johann Heinrich Brucker (1725-1754) befanden. Dank des Hinweises des Kopisten zu Wurstisens Werk (S. 41), es befinde sich im Besitz von Brucker Sohn "theol. st.", kann zumindest diese Kopie auf die Jahre 1740-1746 datiert werden. Dass auch Carpentarius' Werk zum selben Zeitpunkt kopiert wurde, ist nicht unwahrscheinlich. Nach dem frühen Tod des Sohnes scheinen die Autographen in den Besitz des Vaters gekommen zu sein. Der entsprechende - spätere - Eintrag (S. 1) muss in die Jahre 1747-1761 fallen, als Brucker Pfarrer zu St. Peter in Basel war. Eine Abschrift der vorliegenden Abschrift ist UB Basel, Falk Mscr 42. Eine weitere war Johannes Schnell bekannt. Sie soll einen Hinweis auf das weitere Schicksal von Carpentarius Autograph enthalten haben: "cuius [sc. Bruckeri] ex haereditate venit in manus viri ven. past. Petrini domini Erzbergeri indeque cum aliis eiusdem libris sub hasta venditum est." (Basler Chroniken 1, S. 372f.). Johann Georg Erzberger (1718-1765) war mit einer Tochter Bruckers verheiratet.

Comparison of types of management of normal labor and maternal fetal outcome
Creators: name: Storm, Shannon Gail
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Childbirth
Labor (Obstetrics)

description: An inferential study comparing maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality between two groups of low risk pregnancies was conducted.  Group I was comprised of 100 home births managed by a certified nurse-midwives with a non- interventionist philosophy of obstetrical practice.  Group II was comprised of 100 hospital deliveries managed by obstetricians with an interventionist philosophy  of obstetrical practice.  Data collection was by retrospective chart review.  There was no significant difference between labor and delivery complications in the two groups.  Analysis of fetal/neonatal complications showed more recorded intrapartum fetal distress, newborn jaundice requiring treatment with bililights, forceps related bruising, and cephalohematomas in the hospital group.  Analysis of maternal postpartum complications showed more recorded uterine atony requiring treatment with oxytocics, in addition to those given immediately after delivery of the placenta,  in the hospital delivery group.  In can not always be determined whether the differences are a result of intervention and non-intervention in a normal labor, or differences in charting and follow-up of patients.  There were no maternal or newborn deaths in this study.  Ultimately, both groups had a safe, healthy outcome.  This study did not support the philosophy that additional medical and obstetrical procedures rendered in the hospital results in improved outcome for a low risk-pregnancy.  Offering options to these women as a type and amount of intervention would seemingly not increase maternal and newborn mortality or morbidity.
