description: Microbe-mineral interactions are dominated by chemosynthetic microorganisms that use inorganic substrates for growth, impacting the formation and dissolution of minerals. In this dissertation, I continued to characterize Bosea sp. WAO using classical microbiological techniques and genomic analysis to better understand its physiology and ability to use inorganic electron donors for growth. This aerobic microorganism is capable of facultative chemolithoautotrophic growth on arsenite and several reduced sulfur compounds. It grows optimally at 25°C, pH 8, and is intolerant to salinity above 3.5 % w/v NaCl. Genomic analysis revealed that it contains the arsenite oxidase genes, aioA and aioB, and possesses the complete sox pathway. The draft genome is of a single circular 6,125,776 bp chromosome that contains 62 RNA genes and a predicted 5,665 protein-coding genes. A method for in situ stabilization of Pb contamination is the addition of phosphate to convert redox sensitive sulfide minerals into sparingly soluble pyromorphite. I investigated the fate of reduced sulfur during the conversion of galena [PbS] to chloropyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3Cl] concluding with powder XRD analysis that the reaction results in the formation of elemental sulfur [S8]. Under abiotic conditions the S8 was retained in the solid phase, and negligible other sulfur species were detected in the aqueous phase. When PbS reacted in the presence Bosea sp. WAO the S8 in the secondary mineral was oxidized to sulfate and significantly more sulfate was produced from the secondary mineral than from the primary PbS. Microscopic analysis of mineral particles indicated the organism was co-localized and grew on the secondary mineral surface. The results indicate that stimulation of sulfur-oxidizing activity may be a direct consequence of phosphate amendments to Pb contaminated soils. Four microorganisms, Bosea sp. WAO, Starkeya novella, Thiomicrospira crunogena EPR75 and Halothiobacillus hydrothermailis EPR 155, unable to utilize sodium tartrate as a carbon source, were used to study chemolithoautotrophic growth on antimony, Sb(0) and Sb(III). These organisms did not grow on either elemental antimony or potassium antimony tartrate. Bosea sp. WAO’s initial rate of sulfate production from the mineral stibnite (Sb2S3) was higher than the controls, suggesting the organism increases oxidation of the mineral.

description: Street space has inspired much scholarly investigation in the humanities and social sciences, and has been treated as a site where social communities, hierarchies, and politics are made visible.  Absent from street studies, however, is the notion that the streets might have influenced, mediated, or shaped the social exchanges they hosted.  Instead of seeing the street as a passive location, this project views the street as a mediator and an actor that influences and shapes social activity. As such, the street not only functions as the site of the study, but it also is part of the analysis.     Looking specifically at musical life in Paris between 1830 and 1870, I present three different studies that illustrate the influence of the changing urban environment, specifically the streets, on the city’s musical scene. In the first study, I claim that a fleet of omnibuses, named and painted after Boieldieu’s comic opera La dame blanche, profoundly affected the historical reception of the work, connecting the opera with democratic and working class ideologies.  As the omnibuses trumpeted the opera’s refrains on a novelty mechanical horn for decades, Boieldieu’s opera became part of the streetscape and Parisian urban identity.  In the next study, I respond to Charles Gounod’s analogy between the street and the residential music scene, a metaphor that inspired my investigation of Second Empire music salons and their perceived street-like characteristics. Considering the events hosted by Princess Mathilde Bonaparte and others, I argue that society music salons utilized multiple reception rooms, fostered a motion-filled environment, and featured musical programs that responded to the salon’s circulation.  In the last study, I contend that itinerant musicians problematized the Parisian streets. Performing through residential windows and in the interior courtyards of urban mansions, they subverted boundaries between public and private space.  The street provided a platform for their otherwise disempowered voices, provoking bourgeois and governmental fears about civil resistance and stimulating the development of urban street policy.  Building upon the work of Georgina Born, Adam Krim, and Benjamin Piekut, this study ultimately shows that space was an important mediating factor in nineteenth-century Paris, influencing the dynamics of musical performance, circulation, and reception.

Expansionism at The Frick Collection
Creators: name: Walsh, Jacquelyn M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This thesis contends that if landscape architecture is not accorded status equal to that of architecture, then it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to convey significance and secure protective preservation measures. The sensibilities and protections of historic landscape preservation designations, particularly with respect to urban landmarked sites, played a critical role in the recent debate surrounding The Frick Collection in New York City. In June 2014, The Frick Collection announced plans to expand its footprint on the Upper East Side. Controversy set in almost immediately, presenting the opportunity to discuss in this thesis the evolution of an historic institution’s growth in which a cycle of build, destroy and rebuild had emerged. The thesis discusses the evolving status of landscape preservation within urban centers, citing the Frick Collection example of historic landscape in direct opposition to architectural construction. Archival and scholarly materials, media reports, landmark decisions, and advocacy statements illustrate the immediacy and applicability of historic persons, architecture, decisions and designations to the present day. Understanding this historic significance of place before initiating change provides a more informed pathway to the future. The thesis concludes that historic landscape preservation can, and should, warrant the equality of stewardship and significance as held by its architectural counterpart.

description: Nowadays, the demand for Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) is growing rapidly in both commercial and military use. Due to the excellent flapping flight capability, insects now serve as a main source of biological inspiration for the researches of future micro air vehicles. As the most important organ of flight for insects, insect wing, especially its deformation partially controlled by the vein arrangements, is now becoming a key factor for the research and the design of insect-like MAVs. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of the two different kinds of veins and their arrangements on the insect wing structure with Finite Element Method. A simplified wing modelling meshed with the Stiffened Shell Elements is tested under different vein arrangements. The correlated natural frequencies and modeshapes are achieved and analyzed for each case. Through the analysis, we can eventually conclude the effects of longitudinal veins, cross veins and their combined arrangements on the wing structure, respectively.
Phosphorescent properties of riboflavin and its potential applications in food quality and food safety
Creators: name: Wang, Yan

Year: 2016

description: This project characterized the triplet properties of riboflavin and demonstrated that riboflavin, a widespread vitamin in foods, has the potential to be used as a phosphorescent sensor for food quality and as a photosensitizer for food safety.   Phosphorescence spectroscopy has been used as a sensitive tool to study molecular motions in supercooled liquid and glass. Since molecular level movements play a critical role in determining macroscopic quality attributes of amorphous foods, phosphorescence measurement thus can serve as an optical analytical tool that leads to a better understanding of macroscopic quality attributes from a molecular perspective. In this study, phosphorescence from riboflavin and its sensitivity to molecular motions was first characterized in 3:1 glycerol/water mixture (v/v) over the temperature range from 77K to 200K and in amorphous sucrose matrix from 243K to 373K. The results suggested that riboflavin phosphorescence is sensitive to the secondary relaxation processes below the glass transition temperature. Riboflavin phosphorescence was then utilized to study the effects of molecular size and the addition of plasticizer in six malto-oligomers, three dextrans of different molecular weights, and four dextran films with different glycerol content. The results suggested that the molecular mobility increased with the increase in molecular size and that low added glycerol content (<10%) reduced mobility while high glycerol content (>22%) increased mobility.   Phosphorescence also provides direct information on excited triplet state properties of a molecule, including its interaction with oxygen. Triplet molecules collide with oxygen and form singlet oxygen, a reactive species that is detrimental to living cells and microorganisms. Riboflavin has shown efficacy for virus inactivation for blood disinfection and has the potential to photo-inactivate pathogens as an environmental-friendly photosensitizer. To better understand the mechanism between triplet riboflavin and oxygen, in this study, oxygen quenching rate of riboflavin was characterized in three amorphous carbohydrate films: 6k Da dextran, 5% glycerol-dextran, and methylcellulose. Additionally, the singlet oxygen generation efficacy of riboflavin was studied under various irradiation wavelengths.

A micromechanics study on carbon-based and multiferroic composites

description: In this thesis, two physical properties of modern composites are studied. One is the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube- and graphene-based polymer nanocomposites, and the other is the magnetoelectric coupling of highly anisotropic piezoelectric-piezomagnetic multiferroic composites. Along the way, several related issues have also been examined. These include percolation threshold, interfacial resistance, electron tunneling, and filler agglomeration in the first case, and, in the second one, the influence of aspect ratio of inclusions, imperfect interface, and phase connectivity. The studies of these two problems are linked by the common theme of micromechanics theory but cast in different settings. The effective electrical conductivity and percolation threshold of CNT-based nanocomposites are investigated with the effective-medium approach as the backbone. We then introduce of a diminishing layer of interface with an interfacial resistivity that is further modified by Cauchy's statistical distribution function to account for the additional tunneling-assisted interfacial conductivity. The issue of filler agglomeration is examined in details for graphene-based nanocomposites, in which a two-scale effective-medium approach with graphene-rich and graphene-poor regions is also developed. Our predictions are shown to be in close agreement with experimental data. For multiferroic composites, our focus is on the intriguing property of magnetoelectric coupling coefficient which is absent in either piezoelectric or piezomagnetic phase but owned by overall composites. We study this iconic effect in depth for BaTiO3-CoFe2O4 system with different types of connectivity, including 1-3, 0-3, 2-2, that display the inclusion-matrix morphology, and 1-1, 0-0 connectivity that are marked by their symmetric geometrical footing. These two classes of composites are analyzed by the Mori-Tanaka method and the effective-medium approach, respectively. We demonstrate how the magnetoelectric coupling coefficients are highly dependent on the phase volume concentration, inclusion aspect ratio, interface effect, and phase connectivity. Our results also reveal that the magnetoelectric coupling of 0-0 connectivity are substantially higher than that of 0-3 connectivity, but the difference between 1-1 and 1-3 connectivity is limited. In the end, we point to the need of exploring the physical mechanism of interfacial resistance for carbon-based nanocomposites and the nonlinear coupling behaviors for ferroelectric-ferromagnetic composites in our future work.

Hollow Janus cylinders at liquid interfaces
Creators: name: Weir, Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: In this dissertation, capillary-induced interactions and self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic hollow Janus cylinders at an air-water interface is numerically investigated. First, preferred orientation of a single hollow Janus cylinder is determined as a function of amphiphilicity and aspect ratio. When the cylinder is horizontal (long axis parallel to the interface), the shape of the deformed interface and the resulting capillary-induced interactions between a pair of cylinders is examined. In addition, preferred tip-to-tip or side-by-side assembly behavior of a pair of cylinders is determined by minimizing the total interfacial energy of the system. The preferred assembly behavior of a pair of hollow Janus cylinders is side-by-side for higher amphiphilicities, but as the amphiphilicity is reduced, tip-to-tip orientation becomes similarly preferable. The case of hollow Janus cylinders is also compared with their homogeneous counterparts as well as with solid homogeneous and solid Janus cylinders. The significant difference between Janus and homogeneous hollow cylinders is that the preferred orientation of a homogeneous hollow cylinder is horizontal with respect to the interface for given contact angles and at large aspect ratios. Meanwhile hollow Janus cylinders with large aspect ratios and amphiphilicities (beta≥ 20) prefer a vertical orientation (piercing the interface). The preferred orientation of a single solid Janus cylinder behaves similarly to its hollow counterpart except it prefers a vertical orientation at higher amphiphilicities. In comparison, single hollow and solid homogeneous cylinders have almost similar preferred orientation. The outcome of this study may provide insight on self-assembly behavior of model hollow particles, such as carbon nanotubes, at liquid interfaces for fabrication of functional monolayers or for use as interface stabilizers in foam and emulsions.

EEG-based signatures of individuality with application to biometric identification

description: The use of brain activity as physiological basis for biometric systems has been receiving  increased attention in recent years, as it can offer attractive properties such  as robustness against spoo fing attacks and liveness detection. An imaging modality  that can be used to acquire brain activity is electroencephalography (EEG). A major  challenge in EEG-based biometric systems, however, is to identify reliable signatures of  individuality from the acquired EEG data, that are also invariant against time.  Motivated by prior neuroscience studies reporting large inter-individual variability  in the spectral fi eld powers of EEG recordings, in this Thesis, we propose a method  for extracting EEG-based signatures of individuality, and investigate their invariability  against time. Features are extracted based on the spatial distribution of the spectral  power of EEG data, corresponding to 2-second eyes-closed resting-state (ECRS) recording,  across di fferent bands. ECRS EEG data in 4 healthy volunteers are recorded in  two di fferent sessions with an interval of at least one week between sessions, using a 128-channel system. To investigate the invariability of the proposed features against  time, identi cation accuracy is examined for two scenarios: 1) the training and testing  datasets are chosen from the same recording session, and 2) the training dataset is  chosen from one session, and the testing dataset is chosen from another session. For  the  first scenario, an identi cation accuracy of 99.1% is achieved when the proposed  features are extracted from the  beta2 frequency band. For the second scenario, an identification accuracy of 92.3% is achieved when the proposed features from both alpha and  beta   frequency bands are used.  To improve collectability, recording channels that carry the most discriminatory  information across individuals are identi fied using principal component analysis (PCA).  48 channels, mostly covering the occipital region are chosen. Identifi cation accuracy  similar to what was obtained for the case of 128 channels, is achieved for both testing  scenarios. The results of this work suggest that features based on the spatial distribution  of the spectral power of the short-time ECRS recordings can have great potentials in  EEG-based biometric identi fication systems.

description: Alpine habitats in Himalaya have undergone drastic land use change in last decades, resulting in increased anthropogenic pollution discharge in ambient air. Biomonitors such as lichens due to their slow growth rate and longer life span and absorption of nutrients from atmosphere only, are used for studying atmospheric deposition of heavy metals along natural and anthropogenic gradients in various ecosystems. In the current study three species of lichenized fungi Phaeophyscia (P. hispidula, P. primaria and P. constipate) were analysed for heavy metal (Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni) deposition from four sites in Badrinath-Mana land scape along gradients of land use and elevation. Maximum heavy metal deposition was recorded in site with urban land use which minimize in natural grass land. The total heavy metal load (ΣM 4) was found indicative of land use gradient followed by Fe, Zn, Cu and Ni accumulation in lichen thallus. Among the heavy metals analysed iron and zinc were predominantly accumulated followed by copper and nickel. Phaeophyscia hispidula and P. primaria due to their distribution in three of the four sites situated along distinct land use, elevation and pollution gradient were found appropriate bioindicator lichen species for alpine habitats.

description: The first movements of Schubert’s string quartets in A minor (D. 804, 1824), D minor (D. 810, 1824), and G major (D. 887, 1826), his last three in the genre, are marked by dramatic intensity. Themes in their sonata structures are constructed with musical topics that reference vocal or theatrical genres, including the recitative-like, the song-like, and various textures that imitate operatic ensembles. These topical references are often the result of Schubert’s allusions to his earlier vocal and theatrical works. In addition to the well-known quotations in the inner movements of the two quartets from 1824, I demonstrate that textures and compositional procedures in the first movements of all three quartets also connect them to Schubert’s songs “Gretchen am Spinnrade” (D. 118, 1814) and “Der Tod und das Mädchen” (D. 531, 1817), and his opera Fierrabras (D. 796, 1823).     In this dissertation, I situate these quartets after Schubert’s years of opera (1821-23) in order to examine their first movements’ fusion of genres. I show how expressive features interact with musical structures to suggest narrative interpretations. The topical and textural allusions are taken as generic referents to vocal and theatrical genres that help determine a mode of presentation for each movement (a monologue, a dramatic dialogue, and an opera respectively), and the dramaturgy of the works to which the quartets allude helps narrow the range of narrative possibilities in addressing issues such as musical agency (including narrator and theme actors) and temporality. Sonata form is taken as a generic marker of the host genre, the string quartet, which offers a prescribed thematic and harmonic trajectory for the plot. Consulting historical, biographical, intertextual and musical contexts of the expressive features in question, I argue that each of the first movements of Schubert’s last quartets embodies a tragedy involving a Romantic female: a lamenting single woman, a dying young maiden, and a noble prima donna. Their expressions of desolation, fear, and courage are highlighted in moments that are drawn from the dramatic high points in Schubert’s vocal and theatrical works.

description: My project investigates Jewish attitudes towards Roman authority, particularly the emperors. The primary focus of my study is areas of continuity and change in Jewish expressions of their views on Roman leaders as Rome evolved from a distant Republic exerting diplomatic influence in the eastern Mediterranean during the second century BCE to the imperial overlord of Judaea in the first century CE. Throughout my study I examine the ways in which Jewish literature and material culture of the period voiced opinions on Roman leaders both through the assimilation of Rome’s leading figures into a Jewish world view as well as through the reception and reappropriation of Roman self-imaging. I examine works such as I Maccabees, and the historical texts of the Jewish authors Philo and Josephus. The building program of Herod the Great also provides rich material for my analysis because of the strong political statements made through the choice of Augustus as a dedicatee for many of the buildings. Further, Herod’s innovative building projects provided a focal point for other, non-elite Judaean Jews to express their opinions about the emperor by demonstrating their approval or disapproval of the buildings themselves. I also examine the coins of the Herodian Dynasty as expressions of these rulers’ relationship to Rome’s emperors. As part of my analysis of the literature and material culture I explore the ways in which Judaean Jews, who were first conquered by the Romans in 63 BCE, rationalized their conquest in cultural terms (theological and philosophical), and how their reception of the self-images of Rome and leading Romans manifested itself in the rationalization of conquest. I argue against the prevailing scholarly opinion that Jews universally rejected the imposition of Roman hegemony and suggest instead that the evidence shows that many Jews held a more nuanced opinion of Roman authority, viewing it as a divinely sanctioned reality that could be a benevolent or a maleficent force. My study has broad significance because it aims to deepen our understanding of the ways in which a specific conquered people in the ancient world perceived and gave expression to the general experience of being conquered, explaining their conquest in their own cultural terms as well as through the assimilation of the cultural terms of the conqueror.
