Chemical vapor deposition growth of molybdenum disulfide and its nanoscale tribological correlation with Raman spectroscopy
Creators: name: Torrel, Sol
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: In this doctoral thesis work, two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) single crystals have been synthesized, characterized, and tribologically studied. Specifically, detailed analyses of processes that occur during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of atomically thin MoS2 have been performed to understand key mechanisms responsible for reproducible growth of high quality materials. To this end, literature survey of growth parameters was performed and compared with original experiments performed here. The methods and mechanisms of nucleation and growth of large-area, single- and few-layer MoS2 are described with emphasis on variable control and repeatability. The synthesis work performed here provides new insights into the challenges of reproducible MoS2 growth using CVD.   Following the CVD work, the thesis research included phase transformation of MoS2 – building on ongoing research in our group. The aim of this part of the research was to understand how chemistry can change the structural phase of 2D MoS2. More specifically, this work was performed to determine the root cause of challenges that are encountered during phase transformation. Finally, my primary focus and most of my efforts were devoted to study of the tribological properties of 2D MoS2 to further develop fundamental understanding of friction on the atomic level. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to measure nanoscale tribological properties of semiconducting and metallic monolayer MoS2 to study the influence of electronic structure on friction behavior. Furthermore, various multilayer semiconducting polytypes of MoS2 were studied to elucidate the phononic contribution to friction. Electronic and phononic properties of this nanomaterial were probed, analyzed, and correlated through AFM and Raman spectroscopy. As a result, a preliminary methodology for remote prediction of friction behavior via laser excitation has been developed.

On the algorithmic aspects of Turán's Theorem

description: Turán's Theorem gives an upper bound on the number of edges of n-node, K_r-free graphs, or equivalently it can be restated as that every n-node, m-edge graph has an independent set of size n^2/(n+2m). We illustrate how to apply Turán's Theorem to algorithmic problems in several ways.    The complexity of dictionary operations, insertion for example, in external memory is well studied. However, the complexity of a batch of n operations is less known, and is seldom as easy as summing up the complexity of individual operations. We obtain lower bounds for batched predecessors by showing the necessity of fetching a set of information that preserves some "independence", where Turán's Theorem applies. We also prove lower bounds for batched deletions in cross-referenced dictionaries based on the existence of an adversarial input that forbids some patterns, where Turán's Theorem again applies.    In addition, we present an interesting class of problems that are NP-hard to approximate. Turán’s theorem is useful in the proof that a large class of problems that can be defined in a simple framework are all NP-hard to approximate.
Updated area function analysis for nano indentation of micro fibers
Creators: name: Turla, Prashanth

Year: 2017

description: Kevlar has a remarkable combination of high strength, high modulus, toughness and thermal stability compared to many other organic fibers. These impressive properties are due to their molecular structure, developed during their production process which is based on liquid crystal technology, as the rigid molecular chains form a mesophase in solution. Modeling of the high-performance ballistic fabric has gradually shifted from the continuum and yarn length scales to the sub-yarn length scale which enabled establishment of the relationships between the fabric penetration resistance and various fiber-level phenomena such as fiber-fiber friction, fiber twist, and transverse properties of the fibers.  An instrumented indentation method was established in this thesis work to accurately measure the local elastic-plastic material properties of a single fiber. As indentation theory assumes that the indent is being placed on a semi-infinite flat surface, general area function cannot predict accurate projected area on a circular specimen. The indentations on cylindrical surface require modified equations to determine the area function and subsequently, the hardness and reduced modulus.   The Oliver-Pharr instrumented indentation data analysis method is followed for the calculation of area function of the indenter geometry through the simulation of the known properties of the material. This new area function calculation method is compared with the geometry correction method by Quinn McAllister and John W. Gillespie, Jr to calculate the elastic modulus of the fiber in transverse direction. In addition, Compliance contributions are attributed to the lack of constraint due to the finite geometry of a curved fiber surface. This compliance contribution is accounted by using a proposed area correction to capture the geometry of the curved fiber-probe contact. Implementation of these corrections to experimental indentation curves results in accurate measurements of the fiber elastic modulus.

Cross-contamination, modeling, and risk assessment for pathogens on fresh-cut produce
Creators: name: Vegdahl, Ann Charles
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The overall goal of this dissertation was to understand key factors that influence the microbial safety of fresh-cut leafy greens and tomatoes during processing. Laboratory experiments, computer modeling and risk assessment were used to achieve these objectives. In Chapter II, E. aerogenes and avirulent E. coli O157:H7 were found to be suitable surrogates for pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 when comparing mean log reduction when washing with water. These organisms were not suitable surrogates for studying transfer from inoculated to non-inoculated lettuce leaves during water washing. Post-inoculation drying time and water volume influenced transfer of pathogens during washing but the ratio of inoculated to non-inoculated leaves did not have a statistically significant effect. Chapter III demonstrates that while curli producing E. coli O157:H7 attach significantly more to lettuce than the non-producing curli strain, curli production has no significant effect on cross-contamination to non-inoculated lettuce during water washing. In Chapter IV, the growth of Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes on leafy greens during transportation was predicted using real-world transport truck data using time series analysis to simulate transit temperatures. Most models showed relatively close agreement, but some models predicted less growth due to the use of modified atmosphere growth conditions or the use of limited published data. A Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) was developed to calculate the probability and the total number of illness caused by Salmonella on cut tomatoes in Chapter V.  QMRA results showed that using a mechanical slicer, and slicing at 4°C decreases the transfer of Salmonella on cut tomatoes. These findings from these studies will help improve the safety fresh cut leafy greens and tomatoes.

Examined specimens. 1♀, Asir, Karatha, Al-Ethrebany fruit farm, 10.vii.2013, Malaise trap, H.A. Dawah (CERS).
Distribution. This species is the first record from Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula. It was described from Mauritius and Réunion and is widespread throughout the Afrotropical Region including Ghana, Madagascar, Sierra Leone, and Säo Tomé and Principe (Smith &Vockeroth 1980; Kaufmann 1973; Dirickx 1998; Whittington 2003).
Remarks. Macquart (1842) described P. borbonicus. Smith & Vockeroth (1980) listed it under P. (Paragus) borbonicus. Following Vujić et al. (2008) P. (Paragus) borbonicus was therefore put under P. (Afroparagus) borbonicus. Our material of P. borbonicus agrees with the description of Vujić et al. (2008: 514) of the subgenus Afroparagus Vujić & Radenkovié. Kaufmann (1973) studied the biology of P. borbonicus and reported it as a predator which plays an important role as a controlling agent of the black citrus aphid, Toxoptera aurantii (Fonsco.) (Homoptera: Aphididae) that damages the flush leaves of cacao, Theobroma cacao L. in Ghana. He also described the immature stages.

Fictitious consents
Creators: name: Valentine, Melissa Beth
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Consent, plus the appropriate attendant circumstances, is the difference between a trespass and a housewarming party, an assault and a medical exam. Consent gains the ability to work this “moral magic” from the value of autonomy and the way consent respects and enhances it. While often requiring prescriptive consent, we occasionally treat agents as if they have consented when we know they haven’t. In other words, we impute consent to them, knowing that the consent is fictitious. This dissertation examines practices which have been called fictitious, or imputed, consent, looking at the normative basis of the practices, the justification for calling them consent, and the applications of imputed consent proper.  The dissertation focuses on three specific practices: constructive consent, informed consent, and hypothetical individualized consent. Through these practices, the dissertation explores why we give these alleged fictions normative force and if we are correct to do so. Though I argue that the first two aren’t truly imputed consents, their shortcomings direct our attention to imputed consent’s two criteria: (1) the practice enhances and respects autonomy in the same way consent does, and (2) it doesn’t involve prescriptive consent. Failing to meet (1), constructive consent illustrates the need for caution in labelling practices – particularly those that rely on moral values other than autonomy – as “consent.” In failing to meet (2), informed consent highlights a structural aspect of consent: consent applies to an action, not to the action’s consequences. The last practice, hypothetical individualized consent, meets both criteria. It demonstrates that fictitious consent can enhance and respect autonomy and then explores its normative powers through applying it to the non-identity problem in population ethics.
A data driven recommender framework

description: Process mining has been receiving a large amount of scrutiny by researches and industry personnel alike in the recent past. The process logs and traces left by business process can be a big source of information and knowledge about the behavioral aspects of the process. Process mining techniques help extract the knowledge from the traces and logs. This knowledge based data coupled with process mining can used to design recommendations for a user. Most of the existing recommender systems have not been developed based on process mining algorithms and hence provide a whole new scope for research and improvement in their development. Therefore, in this thesis we propose a novel data driven recommender model that can provide recommendations of sequential procedural steps, visualizations and diagnostics for a specific group of patients to provide a feasible and more accurate solution to the problem.

description: Testing can enhance memory, but what is the optimal placement of tests during a learning episode? The grain size hypothesis proposes that several interim tests of smaller amounts of information interspersed throughout learning should result in better retention than a single test at the end of learning, as retrieval success during practice is expected to be higher. We evaluated the grain size hypothesis using lists of related and unrelated words and via a meta-analysis.

description: This thesis investigated the effects of the dietary metabolites short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), on the mechanisms utilised by fungal pathogen C. albicans to cause infection. The SCFA crotonate impacts fungal metabolism and inhibits an important virulence (disease producing power) trait of C. albicans through an inhibition of specific gene expression, improving macrophage immune cell survival in fungal infection. This work also shows SCFAs increase the ability of antifungal drug fluconazole to prevent the growth of C. albicans.

description: Nannochloropsis is a genus of microalgae that produces substantial amounts of storage lipids referred to as triacylglycerides that are derived from fatty acids. These products are precursors to important dietary lipids for use in oils and as replacements for hydrocarbon fuels. To enhance lipid production in Nannochloropsis oceanica CCMP 1779 we applied an insertional mutagenesis approach to produce a library of 1200 strains containing single insertions located randomly in the genome. The collection was screened for growth at high CO2 (≤10%) and low pH, and for high lipid content. Seven mutants were selected for quantitative assays and characterization of photosynthetic efficiency. All 7 strains and the wild type (WT) grow fastest as measured by growth rate and final dry biomass at 2% CO2. The WT had a higher growth rate and biomass production compared with the mutant strains at 2% and 10% CO2. There was pH and CO2-dependence of the growth rate of mutants and the WT. A level of 10% CO2 was a stress condition for Nannocholoropsis oceanica CCMP 1779. One strain (G2) grown at 2% and 10% CO2 had a higher lipid content by Nile Red fluorescence than the WT. When quantified by lipid extraction, this strain did not show a higher lipid content than the WT by day 15 of growth.

description: In this research, structure-properties-processing relationships of melt-processed CNT-PA 66 composites are investigated. Using a novel high-shear mixing device, efficient dispersal of CNTs in molten PA 66 is achieved, forming a well-bonded composite that displays enhanced mechanical properties. Post-fabrication heat treatment of some graphite-polymer composites also changes properties in new and unexpected ways.        Observations by SEM and TEM indicate good bonding between CNTs and PA 66. DSC measurements show a second crystallization peak in the cooling curve, as the CNT content in PA 66 matrix increases from 1 to 5 wt. %. This new type of crystallization becomes a dominant feature in the range of 6-8 wt. % CNTs. Such interactions correlate with changes in elastic modulus and impact strength. FTIR analysis shows a steady increase in peak intensities for 1-5 wt. % CNT-PA 66 composites, until at 6 wt. % there is a sudden decrease in Amide I and II stretching peak intensities, accompanied by a shift to lower wave numbers. This behavior may be attributed to transformation of the original matrix structure to a new C-C rich bonded crystalline state.        Three-point bend tests show a decrease in elastic modulus up to 3 wt. % CNTs in PA 66 due to minor degradation of the polymer matrix. At higher CNT concentrations, covalent bonding between fractured-ends of CNTs and polymer matrix occurs, which increases elastic modulus via a load transfer mechanism. At even higher CNT concentrations, a bridging effect occurs between adjacent covalently-bonded regions that increases impact strength. Eventually this results in a fully cross-linked structure of high stiffness and low impact resistance. As might be expected, peak stress at fracture shows an inverse relationship with stiffness.        A two-step heat treatment is used to modify the structure and properties of 35 wt. % graphite-PEEK composite. It involves heating the composite at 200°C for 20 hours and then at 380°C for 18 hours. Examination of samples by TEM and XPS showed some polymer has gasified and the remaining polymer is a well-crystallized PEEK. 35 wt. % graphite-PA 66 composite was heat treated at 280°C for 24 and 48 hours. A new highly crystalline phase led to increase in elastic modulus was investigated by DSC and FTIR. This opens new opportunities to enhance properties and performance of injection-molded components or parts.

description: To meet cognitive control demands of everyday life, we must continuously adapt our behavior, balancing cognitive stability and flexibility. According to the control-dilemma framework, stable goal-shielding and flexible goal-shifting control modes entail opposing performance costs and benefits. In a within-subjects design, we aim to induce both control modes by manipulating the frequency of task-switches in a cued task-switching paradigm. A high (75%) task-switch proportion of trial transitions in the shifting condition demands flexible shifting between tasks, whereas a lower proportion (25%) permits a more stable control mode within shielding blocks. In both conditions, we will intersperse identical short “diagnostic” test trial sequences with 50% taskswitches, assuming that the contextually induced control modes will persist during these test blocks. In line with the assumption of a performance cost-benefit trade-off between goalshielding and goal-shifting, we expect higher switch costs and reduced interference costs in the shielding condition, and vice versa in the shifting condition. At a neural level, we aim to obtain fMRI indicators to decode the underlying neural patterns of both control modes, investigating whether the respective states are reflected in more or less stable neural task representations (as indicated by enhanced or reduced decoding accuracy in shielding and shifting blocks, respectively). We predict that the shielding-shifting trade-off will show in the brain signals as more stable task representations and enhanced decoding accuracy in the shielding relative to the shifting condition. Moreover, we will assess whether more stable control modes are also reflected in more stable dynamic whole-brain functional connectivity patterns.
The novel RNA methylcytosine hydroxylase Tet in Drosophila and its requirement in neurons and muscles
Creators: name: Wang, Fei

Year: 2017

description: The TET (Ten-eleven translocation) 1, 2 and 3 proteins have been shown to function as DNA hydroxymethylases in vertebrates and their requirements have been documented extensively. We show that in Drosophila hydroxymethylcytosine preferentially marks polyadenylated RNAs and is deposited by Tet. Due to the lack of Cytosine methylation in DNA, Drosophila serves as an ideal model to study the biological function of 5hmrC. We maped the transcriptome-wide hydroxymethylation landscape, revealing hydroxymethylcytosine in the transcripts of many genes, notably in coding sequences, and identified consensus sites for hydroxymethylation. We found that RNA hydroxymethylation may favor mRNA translation. We show that Tet is essential for viability as Tet complete loss-of-function animals die at the late pupal stage.  We also characterized the temporal and spatial expression and requirement of Tet throughout Drosophila development. Tet is highly expressed in neuronal tissues and at more moderate levels in somatic muscle precursors in embryos and larvae. Depletion of Tet in muscle precursors at early embryonic stages leads to defects in larval locomotion and late pupal lethality. Although Tet knock-down in neuronal tissue does not cause lethality, Tet is essential for neuronal function during development and affects locomotion in larvae and adults, as well as the circadian rhythm of adult flies. Further, we report the function of Tet in ovarian morphogenesis. Together, our findings provide basic insights into the biological function of 5hmrC, a modification that is likely also regulated by Tet proteins in other species, and may illuminate observed neuronal and muscle phenotypes observed in vertebrates.
Biomimetic PEG hydrogels for ex vivo expansion and in situ transplantation of retinal pigment epithelial cells
Creators: name: White, Corina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: In several retinal degenerative disease pathologies, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell monolayer becomes dysfunctional. This monolayer, along with the underlying Bruch’s membrane, creates a selective barrier for transport into and out of the retina, as well as supports neural retinal cells through the secretion of several key proteins. One such disease in which this dysfunction occurs is dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries. Currently no treatment exists for dry AMD. Previous studies in animal models using a tissue engineering approach of implanting cells on scaffolds, show promise for the treatment of dry AMD. However, this approach is not without challenges. Two major challenges that must be addressed are RPE cell migration and dedifferentiation and inflammatory response to transplantation.    Design and optimization of scaffold cues for the purpose of RPE transplantation remain relatively unexplored, specifically the mechanical properties of the scaffolds. The first aim of this work seeks to isolate the effects of scaffold modulus on RPE cells grown on these scaffolds. This was accomplished through the use of a synthetic polymer scaffold and a short cell adhesion peptide sequence. The results of this study indicated significant differences between cells on different substrate moduli in cell cytoskeleton structure, cellular activity, and expression of inflammatory markers. Further work in this dissertation sought to promote the mature phenotype of RPE cells grown on scaffolds through Activin A supplemented media, scaffold encapsulated Activin A, and covalent bonding of Activin A on the scaffold surface. It was hypothesized that the Activin A chemical cue would provide rescue effects for cells demonstrating dedifferentiated characteristics. The results revealed that for cells on low modulus scaffolds, the mechanical environment was the dominating cue and the Activin A was unable to rescue these cells. However, the Activin A was able to affect cells on high modulus scaffolds. This finding demonstrates that when cultured on scaffolds with an appropriate modulus, exogenous factors, such as Activin A, can affect cell expression, morphology, and activity, while the wrong scaffold modulus can have devastating effects on survival regardless of chemical stimulation. These findings have broad implications on the design and optimization of scaffolds for long term successful RPE transplantation.

description: Cheilodipterus lineatus Lacepède [ex Commerson] 1802—Large-toothed cardinalfish
Status at New Ireland. New record, based on a specimen photographed at Lissenung Island, Kavieng District, 10 m depth, by Dean Tully on 18 Sept. 2012; a video of a specimen taken at Tungelo Island, off southeastern New Hanover, at 3–46 m depth, St. KR 104, in 2014 (identified by Barry C. Russell).
Remarks. Fricke (1999: 233) treated Centropomus macrodon Lacepede [ex Commerson], 1802 in the synonymy of Cheilodipterus lineatus Lacepède [ex Commerson], 1801, but Gon (1993: 30) and Gon & Randall (2003 a: 32–33) believe that the latter name is unavailable as a secondary homonym of Perca lineata Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775. The latter is, however, not an independent species description, but a misidentification of Perca lineata Linnaeus, 1758, which is now Plectorhinchus lineatus (Linnaeus, 1758). Cheilodipterus lineatus (sensu Gon & Randall 2003 a: 31–32) is a synonym of Cheilodipterus arabicus (Gmelin, 1789); it is restricted to the western Indian Ocean and Red Sea. As both Cheilodipterus lineatus and C. macrodon were frequently used, there is no way to retain C. macrodon, so that the species must be named Cheilodipterus lineatus (see Fricke 2008: 30).
