Evaluating income generation, nutrition, and parenting programs on maternal and child health outcomes
Creators: name: Martin, Simone

description: The Western Cape Province of South Africa captivates tourists from all over the world who flock to the region to visit the spectacular view from Table Mountain, take in the beauty of wildlife on a safari tour, and sip some of the best wines in the world at any one of the region’s stunning vineyards. However, while the Western Cape prides itself as a vacation destination for visitors, residents are faced with social and health problems on an everyday basis as a result of the country’s complex apartheid history. The province remains socially stratified by social class, gender, age, and race in which socio-economically disadvantaged groups, specifically Black and Coloured women and children, are treated differently and live under unfavorable conditions. Maternal poverty, poor maternal nutrition and health, and maternal alcohol abuse, the three risk factors explored in this study, have resulted in malnourished infants and children. One response to this is that community-based organizations have been developed throughout the province to provide at-risk, low-income Black and Coloured mothers with income generating programs in order to lessen poverty and maternal and child health disparities, nutrition and health support groups, and early childhood development centers for young children in tandem with parenting workshops and counseling programs.     Although there is significant research that indicates participating in evidence-based parenting programs can improve child health outcomes in high-income countries (Lachman et al., 2016), few studies have examined their impact in low-and middle-income countries and what constitutes effective implementation of parenting interventions in severely impoverished rural communities. This multi-program case study will examine how a community-based organization helps at-risk Black and Coloured mothers make better behavioral, nutritional, and parenting choices through a process evaluation using document analyses and 48 semi-structured qualitative interviews with staff and participants. Life Course Theory and the Social Determinants of Health are the guiding conceptual models to frame this research which stress that barriers to health, including economic disparities and health inequity in the early years of life, can have an impact on the health trajectories of children and that a mother’s social position is the main determinant of inequity, respectively.

Mobile recommender systems with business effective strategies
Creators: name: Qu, Meng

Year: 2017

description: Recommender systems aim to provide personalized suggestions to users based on their backgrounds and interests. The suggestions can be made in a variety of application areas, such as movies, music, news, books, and products. Recommender systems are primarily developed for individuals who lack of the sufficient personal experiences or competence to evaluate an overwhelming number of alternatives. Therefore, recommender systems are usually personalized, and face substantial challenges in coping with information overloaded environments.  This dissertation focuses on building mobile recommender systems with business effective strategies. Due to the explosive growth of GPS trajectory and urban geographical data, mobile recommender systems have been extensively utilized to offer various types of recommendation services. Indeed, recent efforts have been made to develop mobile recommender systems for taxi drivers based on the analysis of taxi GPS traces. In general, there are three ways to provide such recommendation services. The first is to focus on choosing the fastest driving route from the current location to the destination. The second is to provide a sequence of pick-up points for taxi drivers. The goal of this approach is to allow the taxi driver to find a customer within the shortest driving distance. Finally, the third method attempts to strike a balance between the needs of taxi drivers and passengers. However, in the real world, the income of a taxi driver is strongly related to effective driving hours than to the actual driving distance.   To this end, in this dissertation, we aim to address the challenges involved in providing business effective recommendations in mobile environments from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Specifically, we first develop a cost-effective mobile recommender system that is capable of recommending an entire driving route for taxi drivers and helping them to find a passenger with the highest possible net profit. Experiments based on real-world data demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our systems. Moreover, we develop a virtual station waiting strategy which suggests the right waiting time and locations for taxi drivers in a business effective way. Then, we design an enhanced recommender system by combining the virtual waiting and driving route search strategies. In this enhanced system, we provide a joint learning framework to evaluate the potential profits derived from different strategies and find the optimal solution. Also, we exploit a recursive algorithm to efficiently generate optimal driving route recommendations. Meanwhile, we introduce Top-K route recommendations and a dynamic maximum Net Profit strategy to provide better load balance for recommendations happened at the same location. Finally, the experimental results clearly validate the effectiveness of the enhanced recommender system for taxi drivers, and show that our recommender system can help to substantially increase the income of inexperienced taxi drivers.
Shallow-subsurface microbial ecology and sediment-groundwater interface in sulfate-rich playa at White Sands National Monument, New Mexico
Creators: name: Ramirez, Steven
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The hypersaline sediment and groundwater of the playa Lake Lucero at the White Sands National Monument in New Mexico were examined for microbial community composition, geochemical gradients, and mineralogy during the dry season along a meter and a half depth profile of the sediment vs. the groundwater interface. Lake Lucero is a highly dynamic environment, strongly characterized by the capillary action of the groundwater, the extreme seasonality of the climate, and the hypersalinity. Sediments are predominantly composed of gypsum with minor quartz, mirabilite, halite, quartz, epsomite, celestine, and clays. Geochemical analysis has revealed predominance of nitrates over ammonium in all of the analyzed samples, indicating oxygenated conditions throughout the sediment column and in groundwater. Conversely, the microbial communities are primarily aerobic, gram-negative, and are largely characterized by their survival adaptations. Halophiles and oligotrophs are extremely common throughout the samples. The very diverse communities contain methanogens, phototrophs, heterotrophs, saprophytes, ammonia-oxidizers, sulfur-oxidizers, sulfate-reducers, iron-reducers, and nitrifiers. Overall diversity and biomass did not vary in a significant, consistent manner between the near surface, deeper subsurface, and groundwater. The dynamism of this environment manifests in the relatively consistent character of the microbial communities, where significant taxonomic distinctions were observed but the extent of phenotypic differences is uncertain. Therefore, sediment and groundwater substrates should not be considered as separate ecological entities.

description: Macronaria indet.
(Figs 24 Y-AA; 25A)
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the turiasaur, a second sauropod taxon may be present at Angeac-Charente site. It is only represented by a single abraded tooth and a tooth recovered from microremains (Figs 24 Y-AA; 25A). They are spatulate and characterized by straight and subparallel distal and mesial edges at the base of the crown, and by the presence of a convex labial and concave lingual surface. Based on these features, these teeth are assigned to a macronarian sauropod probably close to Camarasaurus (Wilson 2002; Upchurch et al. 2004; Mocho et al. 2017).
Sauropod track casts have also been recorded at Angeac-Charente. Thay are represented by casts of pes and manus footprints (Rozada et al. 2021). In 2018, a sauropod footprint cast was observed above and in contact with an in-situ broken sauropod radius. It represents a spectacular “instantaneous” preservation of the action of a sauropod pes or manus crushing a sauropod long bone, and inducing bone modifications (breakage, displacement and reorientation) and sediment deformations (Rozada et al. 2021). The footprints are identified as Sauropoda indet. because of the general circular morphology of the pes, the characteristic tubular metacarpal arrangement of the manus and also the huge size of the prints (Carrano & Wilson 2001; Wilson 2005).

description: 1) Rationale for the study  This dissertation was written to see if an alternative to the methods used in previous Israeli-Palestinian negotiations could create peace and a Two-State Solution in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. The mediation paradigm used in 2000, 2008, 2014 and 2016, though showing progress, has not resolved the conflict. This study tries to determine what the causes of continued failure to achieve a resolution could be and whether the standard mode of mediation is itself the problem. This study also tries to determine if  there is some alternative to the standard mediation paradigm which might produce more conclusive results.  2) Hypothesis  The basic hypothesis of this dissertation is that one should not point to any specific issue or issues as the cause of failure but rather to the lack of courage on the part of political leaders. Further there may be a modification to the mediation paradigm which would produce better results.  3) Method   Two different databases have been used extensively. First, a database called CaseMap was used in which more than 15,000 separate quotations from every first party writer who attended the Camp David Negotiations was inserted. The database EndNote, which, in addition to being able to provide  a detailed bibliography, also does an excellent job of indexing documents which are in PDF format across all the documents was used for every document and reference material. Of the 1,856 references, nearly all have PDF files associated with them which have been cross indexed and are now searchable.  4) Results  It has been determined that by changing the order of how negotiations are usually conducted, a substitute for political courage can be found which might have a valuable effect on future negotiations. A referendum taking place simultaneously in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank authorizing negotiations  and the conclusion of a Two-State Solution prior to the actual final negotiations would have a greater chance of achieving a successful conclusion.  5) Conclusion  A referendum taking place simultaneously in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank authorizing negotiations and the conclusion of a Two-State Solution would have a greater chance of achieving a successful conclusion.

description: This thesis deals with the changing notions of American identity as conveyed and  fashioned through children’s consumer products throughout the 20th century. Each case  study looks at a different period of time though a sampling of material culture, literature,  and entertainment spaces. The thesis begins with the advent of the American toy industry  in the early twentieth century and looks at the early implications of linking children’s  toys with patriotism and whiteness. Chapter two examines the Great Depression and the  ways different groups used children’s dolls and toys to elaborate a vision of the country  they longed for during an unstable time. Chapter three looks at the consensus history of  America as told through two children’s history books series (Random House’s Landmark  Books and Bobbs-Merrill’s Childhood of Famous Americans) published during the Cold  War. Chapter four looks at Freedomland U.S.A., an American history themed amusement  park that sprang up and then was quickly torn down in the Bronx in the 1960s. The thesis  concludes with a chapter that looks at the production of a multicultural, global , but  ultimately homogenous American girl through the many facets of the American Girl  Brand from the 1980s to the present. Through these objects, books, toys, dolls, and  amusement parks, this thesis traces the myths and lessons sold to children in their leisure  items, making it clear that childhood is political. This set of cases, each concerned with  American history, it becomes clear over the course of the last century, consumerism has become a primary way children learn to access American democracy and engage in  political action.

The roles of knowledge complexity and location complexity for the structure of knowledge building in a global environment
Creators: name: Salmon, Jessica Rae

Year: 2017

description: Scholars have long studied the complexity of knowledge in innovation. More recently, research has begun to focus attention on the role of knowledge recombination as a way to understand knowledge complexity, knowledge growth, and evolutionary search. Yet little is known about knowledge complexity in the broad context of globalization. We build on knowledge recombination patterns in global innovation activities to develop our theory of the relationship through which earlier contributions to knowledge become inputs to subsequent knowledge building that generates more or less complex knowledge artifacts. We propose that knowledge complexity rises when recombined elements are sourced across two dimensions of distance, characterized by combining sources taken from disparate knowledge fields and distinct geographical locations. The study draws upon and compares three alternative ways of measuring the complexity of technological knowledge through patent data.   This dissertation establishes two new methods for measuring complexity and adapts a third measure for wider applicability in research. Study 1 results show there no clear relationship between technological distance and complexity as measured through either co-classification or cross-classification data. We establish the growth of the ICT era has also facilitated increases in knowledge complexity while the turbulence from ICT is indirectly increasing knowledge complexity. We end this study with a direct comparison of two measures for knowledge complexity to establish which aspects of complexity each best reflects.  In study 2, we find increasing knowledge complexity also increases locational complexity. Digging deeper we see there are divergent effects from the use of both knowledge complexity measures when investigating locational complexity which further establishes the uniqueness of each knowledge complexity measure. We further assess the representative distinguishing characteristics of each complexity measure. We also establish here that ICT is contributing to increasing locational complexity as ICT is a connector of both technology fields and geographic locations. In study 3 we examine the outliers of the relationships examined for each complexity measure.

The Krueger-Scott African-American Cultural Center
Creators: name: Singer, Katie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: In 1990 Newark, New Jersey decided to create an African-American Cultural Center within the abandoned Krueger-Scott Mansion. The Mansion was most recently owned by Louise Scott, an African-American millionaire. Despite almost two decades of efforts the Center never came to fruition. All that remained was an oral history collection generated for the Center.   The 107 interviews had not been analyzed until my dissertation.  I begin with a detailed narrative of the history of the Mansion and then dedicate the next chapter to a review of oral history’s evolving theoretical stance.  The next three chapters focus on analysis of the oral histories through thematic lenses such as the Black church, politics, labor, and fire. I conclude the dissertation by putting forth suggestions of ways in which the Center could yet be created, in part by considering similar sites across the country.
Analysis of the structure of Wntless protein and its role in supporting Wnt secretion at the endoplasmic reticulum compartment
Creators: name: Sun, Jiaxin

Year: 2017

description: Wnts are secreted glycolipoproteins fundamental for embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. Abnormal Wnt signal transduction is associated with human diseases, most notably colon cancers. Wnts act as extracellular ligands that bind specific surface receptors in Wnt-responding cells. In contrast to our comprehensive understanding of Wnt signal transduction in the ligand-responding cells, there is still a deficiency in the knowledge about the cellular mechanism that regulates Wnt secretion from the ligand-producing cells. A multi-pass transmembrane protein Wntless (Wls) binds and transports Wnt ligands for secretion, however, the mechanism underlying the initial assembly of Wnt secretory vesicles has not been defined. Using proteomic and mutagenic analysis in mammalian cells and primary mouse intestinal organoids, we have delineated a sophisticated regulatory mechanism that controls the initial assembly of Wnt secretory vesicles at ER membrane. Binding of lipidated Wnt ligands to Wls in ER promotes an association between Wls and SEC12, an ER membrane-localized guanine nucleotide-exchanging factor (GEF) that activates the small GTPase SAR1. Compared with Wnt molecules that lack lipid modification, mature ligands drive a stronger Wls-SEC12 interaction that was biochemically mapped to cytosolic segments of both proteins. Remarkably, Wls utilizes a well conserved but separate protein motif in its C-terminus to engage with SAR1 for assembly of COPII ER-exiting vesicles. Mutating Wls at responsible amino acids or disrupting SAR1 activity accumulated Wls at ER exiting sites. Unlike the wild type Wls, mutant transporter failed to facilitate Wnt secretion and to support stem cell maintenance in mouse intestinal organoids.   Additional study suggests that GOLD domain-containing proteins may participate in subsequent transport of Wls/Wnt complex through COPII vesicles. Specifically, TMED10 binds Wnts and may act as a cargo adaptor to incorporate Wnt/Wls complex into the COPII vesicles. ACBD3, another GOLD domain-containing protein, may contribute to selectively transport WNT7A for ER-to Golgi delivery. Our results suggest that Wnt exocytosis is carefully corroborated, at several distinct protein complex interfaces, from early steps of the secretory pathway. These regulations may ensure effective export of mature and functional ligands. Due to the relatively simplified regulators, e.g., Wls, that control Wnt production, the molecular mechanism uncovered for Wnt secretion regulation may be useful to intervening Wnt production and signaling activity in certain cancers.

description: I came to this project interested in the question, what can narratives about baseball stadiums reveal about the development of Newark, NJ spanning the twentieth century?  From this question arose an exploration of narratives that offered insight into competing interests within the city, definitions of civicness, the employment of nostalgia as an argumentative strategy, and how urban development plans are constructed and sold to citizens.  The primary focus of this history is centered on two baseball stadiums in Newark, NJ, Ruppert Stadium, built in 1926 and demolished in 1967 and Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium, completed in 1999, sold in 2016, and is now slated to be replaced with mixed use retail space and condominiums.  The narratives fashioned to support both stadiums construction and maintenance are strikingly similar.  For both stadiums, for over a century, Newark mayors, councilmen, successful businessmen, community organizers, newspaper columnists and reporters, and local citizens all craft, repurpose, and used these civic narratives to further their own varied agendas.  It is through these crafted narratives about these stadiums that I explore the competing views of the city and the competing visions for its future.

Eutriconodonta

description: EUTRICONODONTA Kermack, Mussett & Rigney, 1973
(Fig. 32A, B, E, F)
DESCRIPTION
Some mammalian teeth show a distinctive morphology comprising three main cusps placed serially in anteroposterior alignment on a transversely compressed crown (Fig. 32A, B, E, F). This cusp arrangement and general morphology is typical of eutriconodontans (Kielan-Jaworowska et al. 2004). Orientation of these isolated teeth follows the criteria of Godefroit & Battail (1997). The most convex side of the crown is considered to be the labial face, and the most concave the lingual face. Accessory cusps are usually more numerous or better developed on the distal side, and thus the side bearing the most developed and/or the most differentiated accessory cusps is considered to be distal. The distal inclination of the cusps, when present, also helps to distinguish the mesial and distal faces of the teeth.

New dynamic optimization models for tax loss valuation and sourcing problems
Creators: name: Varzgani, Nilofar
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The dissertation comprises of three essays on multi-period dynamic optimization models. The first and second essays address the problem of valuing tax loss-carryforward(s) (TCLFs) and Carryback(s) (TLCBs) that arise frequently in theory and practice. While there have been a number of empirical papers that have shown TLCFs (TLCBs) are value relevant, there is little guidance on how to actually value these. The first essay introduces the valuation problem and provides a survey of literature in the  area. The few analytical papers that have attempted to provide valuation formulas are highly stylized, do not capture the institutional complexity of the tax code, and are generally inadequate. In the second essay we develop a finite horizon discrete time stochastic dynamic programming framework for valuing TLCFs (TLCBs) that allows for piece-wise linear progressive taxation, and also incorporates many of the institutional features of the tax code. In the third essay we investigate a multi-product, multi-echelon contract manufacturer based business model. The decision problem faced by the manufacturing company is twofold: (a) how many contract manufacturers to get involved in business with (one  supplier model vs a multi-supplier model, (b) how much volume should be allocated to each contract manufacturer, if the multiple supplier model is chosen. The objective is to maximize savings from the volume allocation process. Such problems arise often in many manufacturing industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, energy etc., for Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) firms. We provide a discrete time stochastic dynamic programming framework, and use numerical methods to study different volume allocation scenarios first in a one period setting, later extending the  analysis to a multi-period model.
Spectroscopic studies of transition complexes

description: This thesis describes utilizing spectroscopy techniques, such as Resonance Raman spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, for some fundamental studies of transition metal complexes. Firstly, a series of Fe-Pt-Fe trinuclear complexes are investigated by resonance Raman spectroscopy. The spectroscopic studies can provide insight into the ground state and excited state of the related complexes, and help us to understand the charge ligand and conformation effect on photoinduced charge transfer. Three trinuclear complexes were compared: [(NC)5FeCN-Pt-(L)n-NCFe(CN)5]4- (abbreviated as [Fe2Pt-(L)2]4-), where L= NH3, (n=4); cyclam, (n=1); ethylenediamine(en), (n=2). The crystal structures reveal that the cyclam complex has an eclipsed configuration, while the ammonia ligands yield a staggered one. The crystal structure of [Fe2Pt-(en)2]4- is not available, so the twist angle between the CN and en equatorial ligands is not known. By doing the Raman frequency analysis, we concluded that the eclipsed conformation allows more electronic delocalization across the Fe-CN-Pt bridge. The resonance Raman intensity analysis provides us that the largest contribution to the vibrational barrier to electron transfer were those modes associated with the Fe-CN-Pt bridge. Comparing the Raman data of those trinuclear complexes, we assumed that the conformation of [Fe2Pt-(en)2]4- might in between of the [Fe2Pt-(NH3)4]4- and [Fe2Pt-cyclam]4-.    Secondly, some Copper(I) diimine coordination complexes have the ability to flatten out in the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) state after populating through photoexcitation. This ability is crutial to the subsequent dynamics and structures present in the excited state. A series of Cu(I) complexes which have different ligand environments has been synthesized. We propose to use resonance Raman to investigate how the coupling of two Cu(I) atoms through a bridging bisphenanthroline ligand affects the nature of the MLCT excited state.    Thirdly, some ruthenium polypyridine sulfoxide complexes exhibit photochromic behavior. The photo-triggered isomerization of this kind of complex involves the transformation of sulfoxide from Ru-S to Ru-O bonded. This photo-induced isomerization dramatically changed the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the metal complexes. In our project, intermediate-energy X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was used to characterize the series of Ru-S/SO complexes related to their photochromic analogues. By collecting sulfur K-edge XAS data for this series of structurally similar complexes exhibiting diverse photochemical reactivity, and combining with TD-DFT calculations, an attempt was made to characterize the σ and ᴨ contributions to the HOMO correlate them with their reactivity.
