Analysis of Diagnosis for Malignant and Benign Brain Tumor MRI Images using CNN and DWT Technique
Creators: name: Mrs. Prerana A. Wankhede
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The article describes the use of image processing in the search for the brain tumor. Tumors are a worldwide health crisis thatmay manifest in any part of the body. If a brain tumor is not diagnosed and treated early on, it may significantly reduce a patient'slifespan. Malignant and benign tumors of varied stages were discovered. This illness is now affecting a sizable population. Each year,more and more people are screened every day in an effort to discover diseases early. Manual screening is not only a time-consumingprocess, but it also raises the possibility of making mistakes. Some people could become even more distracted. Therefore, it is more idealto use an AI-based system for the screening process than a human one. Specialists employ MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanimages to identify brain cancers; however, these images include noise that must be minimized in the first phases of processing if accuratefindings are to be achieved. In this research, we provide a refined Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) filtering technique along the usedof artificial Intelligence for this purpose. Image filtering and image segmentation are the system's two main components. Brain tumorMRI images from the Kaggle dataset will be used as test data for the filter.
The evolution of neutral gas in star-forming galaxies across cosmic time
Creators: name: Berry, Michael James
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: We study the evolution of cold gas in distant galaxies by analyzing observations, semi-analytic models (SAMs), and simulations of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and damped Lyα absorption systems (DLAs). First, we present individual and composite rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectra for 81 SFGs where we study the relations among Lyα emission, low and high ionization absorption strength, rest-ultraviolet continuum slope, redshift, and velocity offset. We find that galaxies with R < 25.5 and W7Lyα > 20A have bluer UV continua, weaker low-ionization interstellar absorption lines, weaker C IV absorption, and stronger Si II nebular emission than those with W7Lyα < 20A. Next, we present our range of models which include “standard,” “extended,” and merger-based disks as well as a metallicity-dependent and pressure-based prescription for partitioning cold gas into atomic and molecular components. Using these models, we “observe” a catalog of mock DLAs, which we compare to observations. We find that extended disk models reproduce quite well the column density distribution of absorbers over the column density range 19 < log N(HI) < 22.5, the observed line density of DLAs, Hi gas density, the ∆v distribution in the redshift range 2 < z < 3.5, and the evolution of DLA metallicity with redshift. Using these models, we characterize the properties of DLA host galaxies and compare them to model SFGs “observed” in the SAMs. We show that DLA host galaxies exhibit a broad range of galaxy properties spanning several decades in stellar mass, star formation rate, and luminosity and fall upon common galaxy scaling relations. Finally, we analyze the radial profiles and evolution of 15 galaxies in numerical simulations and compare them to predictions from the SAMs. Galaxies’ cold gas and stellar components are moderately well-fit by exponential profiles, although both gas partitioning recipes predict more molecular gas and less star formation than is observed in the numerical simulations. Nonetheless, both types of simulations predict similar evolution in galaxy properties from z = 2 to z = 0.

Productivity and waste

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this work is to analyze characters and relationships in Goldoni’s comedies in terms of their social actions and interactions.  I assert that Goldoni intended for these comedies to be a vehicle of instruction in order to model and reform behaviors he deemed either productive or wasteful to the progress of society.  The success of society as a whole depends on the individual behaviors and conduct of its members.  Goldoni recognized the denegration of morals and good sense among the various social classes.  His plays, taken deeper than face value, demonstrate his desire to aid in the renovation of Venetian society and reinstate the honorable, virtuous and productive society that he perceived.    Through social dynamics and familial relationships, various behaviors of the characters and their interactions demonstrate aspects of Venetian society that Goldoni lauded or criticized.  Many Goldoni scholars such as Mario Baratto and Franco Fido have noted the social implications of Goldoni’s theater.  I believe that my research takes a different direction and, through the socio-economic lens, it is possible to note the theory substantiating Goldoni’s intentions.  The ideologies of Adam Smith, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber will aid in this analysis.  These sociological and economic perspectives will shed new light on the characters and their relationships, both familial and societal, found throughout the comedies of Carlo Goldoni and to explain various trends in terms of sociological and economic theory.  This examination highlights and analyzes the themes of productivity and waste in Goldoni’s works and his desire to provide a formula for change for the betterment of society.

Making good
Creators: name: Bischof, Christopher Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation explores how male and female, English and Scottish elementary teachers embodied and intervened in social and cultural debates which were central to the making of modern Britain.  Teachers represented the largesse of the liberal state and the reach of its power, but also the limits of both.  A state-funded scholarship ladder allowed working-class boys and girls move up in the world, making teaching the first form of institutionalized, meritocratic social mobility in modern Britain.  The state charged teachers with gathering information about their pupils and neighborhoods – and later with enforcing mandatory attendance policies and implementing social welfare schemes.  However, teachers adapted state policies to fit local circumstances and used official records to critique the way the state sought to know and govern its subjects.  They offered alternative narratives about local communities, class relations, gender, and ideas about childhood.  The travel narratives they wrote in the wake of their remarkable summer travels evinced a similar drive to know and to narrate conditions in the empire.  Both through their actions and through the stories they told, teachers shaped how the British state came to know its subjects – and how Britons came to know their state.    Making Good” taps a wide range of sources from policymaking documents and Parliamentary reports to the records kept by individual teachers.  Most important were the more personal sources: the poems, memoirs, travel narratives, and other sources which teachers infused with their frustration, excitement, hope, anger, and even their love.  Teachers’ everyday actions and the stories they told help to humanize the history of the institutions like teacher training colleges and schools.  Playful defiance and intense emotion coexisted with the serious imperatives of political economy in the project to make a modern state and society through elementary education.

Gas phase studies of organic and biological species using mass spectrometry
Creators: name: Chen, Mu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation focuses on the study of gas phase properties of several organic and bioorganic species, using experimental (mass spectrometry) and computational (Gaussian) methods.     Damaged nucleobases are from oxidation or methylation of normal nucleobases. These damaged bases are linked with diseases, aging, and cell death. They can be excised by enzymes such as DNA  glycosylases. However the mechanism is still unknown. Tautomerism, proton affinity, and acidity of a damaged base xanthine have been studied to understand the mechanism of AlkA, the enzyme that excises xanthine.    1,2,3-triazoles are novel compounds that have various applications, especially in synthetic and catalytic chemistry. The fundamental properties of these triazoles could potentially be useful in understanding their binding to metals. Tautomerism, proton affinity, and acidity of several 1,2,3-triazoles have been studied by using computational and experimental methods. The results indicate that PA of the triazoles correlate with their binding ability to metals such as gold.    N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are good electron donors and are used as ligands in organometallic complexes. However, unlike the traditional carbenes (methylene), NHCs are not electrophilic. N,N’-Diamidocarbenes (DACs) display not only nucleophilic but also electrophilic properties. The proton affinity of several DACs were studied and found to be close to proton affinity of the NHCs. The electrophilic reactivities of DACs can be attributed to their low-lying LUMO orbitals.    Nucleophilicity and electrophilicity in the gas phase are important reactivity parameters of organic species. Gas phase calculations and experiments can exclude the influence of solvents and reveal the intrinsic properties of nucleophiles and electrophiles. Classic physical organic approaches, including Hammett plots, kinetic isotope effect, and H/D exchange, have been employed to study the gas phase reactions between nucleophiles and electrophiles.    RNA oligonucleotides (2-5nt) are found to play important roles in the transcription of DNA. However, the specific RNA species and their sequences are unknown. An LC-MS method has been developed for the separation and quantification of these oligonucleotides. Collision induced dissociation (CID) patterns of the oligonucleotides are found to be useful in the characterization of these biologically significant species.

Travels to China
Creators: name: Choi, Ja Yun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation examines how the eighteenth-century British travel narrative can have a genre-like coherence while at the same time consisting of great formal variation.  A mode of narration that was immensely popular due to Britain’s maritime exploration of the world, it generated a wide range of representations, making it difficult to identify a common set of formal conventions.  I address this problem by focusing on narrative epistemology, a defining characteristic of the travel narrative, so that I can disclose a range of distinct subgenres that bear a generic family resemblance.  Using actual and virtual travel narratives to China as my samples, I examine in each chapter a different subgenre and its formal approach to telling the “truth,” whether that be based in historical factuality or constructed imaginatively.  Chapter One explores the actual scientific expedition the British partook in during the Macartney Embassy.  Using the detached third-person narrator to compile the embassy members’ accounts, George Staunton conducts a narrative form of quantitative experimentation to produce an empirically objective account of Chinese culture.  In Chapter Two, I discuss the explicitly speculative or imaginative conjectures John Barrow makes based on the empirical information he has collected during the Macartney mission to generate a probable account of China and its place in a universal history of human civilization.  Chapter Three investigates Daniel Defoe’s imaginary voyage, in which he overlays England with the virtual world of China to satirize the English government.  In order to promote his political project, Defoe mildly parodies the “strange, therefore true” trope to give material form to intangible concepts such as state polity.  Chapter Four examines Thomas Percy’s use of a Chinese novel that relates its male protagonist’s virtual journey.  Through his interruptive footnotes, Percy contributes to the novel’s aesthetic distance from the senses so as to encourage a critical comparison between the reader and the heroine, whom Percy sees as representing Chinese society.  I argue that these subgenres, by embracing the utility of imaginative virtuality to different degrees in their self-conscious attempts to narrate the “truth” about China (and England), constitute a coherent genre despite their apparent formal disparities.
Development and validation of the Azerbaijani Empowerment Scale

description: The empowerment construct has been central in theories and practice interventions across many health and social science disciplines. However, research and evaluation studies measuring empowerment within international community development initiatives are rare due to a lack of validated measures appropriate for the cultural context. This study represents an initial empirical effort to validate the Azerbaijani Empowerment Scale (AES), an instrument designed to assess intrapersonal component of psychological empowerment among adult community residents in Azerbaijan, a former Soviet country with a secular Muslim culture. The participants (n = 350) were recruited in urban and rural communities using a purposeful sampling strategy. The present study examined the underlying factor structure of the AES instrument and its associations with conceptually related variables (i.e., community participation, sense of community, depression, and alienation). Exploratory factor analysis suggested that the AES instrument included three dimensions: leadership competence, policy control, and beliefs in community action. Partial correlations demonstrated that the AES measure was related with other variables in expected ways. Results of a path analysis indicated that the hypothesized model provided a good fit to the data from the sample of community residents in Azerbaijan. Specifically, both sense of community and community participation had direct, positive effects on all three empowerment subscales. In addition, a direct effect of depression on leadership competence was found, as well as indirect effects on all three dimensions of empowerment through its relationships with sense of community and community participation. Alienation was found to have a direct, negative effect on beliefs in community action, as well as indirect effects on all three subscales of empowerment through its relationship with community participation. Findings supported the reliability and validity of the AES.   This study contributes to empowerment theory by examining its applicability to the community context in Azerbaijan. The AES instrument can be useful to health and social science researchers in the region of the South Caucasus and Central Asia. Practical implications of this study include the recommendation of a new, culturally-appropriate and validated instrument to evaluate empowerment-oriented interventions and guide development of evidence-based policies and practices in Azerbaijan and neighboring countries.

Blurred boundaries in contemporary work spaces
Creators: name: Christie, Erin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation explores how “customers” of three different locations of a major coffee shop chain accomplish work-like activities. By examining the blurred boundaries within the context of “publicness” and “privateness,” this study examines the kinds of work-like activities that were performed, and explores views of work by “customers” that routinely occupy these spaces. The reasons “customers” report about their working in these coffee shops are examined, along with how they feel when doing so, and what encourages doing work-like activities in these coffee shops. By identifying norms that are both reproduced and breached, the interaction between social actors as they navigate challenges as “customers” is explored.     Data for this study were obtained through 108 participant observations and 30 interviews with those who conduct work-like activities in these coffee shops. Participant observation provided data in two forms, fieldnotes containing observations of interaction and data regarding my involvement as a “customer” in these coffee shops. The study utilizes the theory-based natural history method (Mokros, 2003), consisting of interpretive microanalysis rooted in the constitutive perspective of communication (Goffman, 1959; 196&).                                                             The constitutive view captured both interaction and talk as work-like activities are accomplished, whereby “publicness” and “privateness” reveal the primary blurred boundary of “customer” and “worker,” along with the eroding of the boundaries between “home” and “work,” and “recognized” and “unrecognized” work, which accounts for face-work (Goffman, 196&). Face-work contributes a broadened understanding of work by focusing on the interaction that occurs between “customers.” Three types of encounters for work-like activities are identified, namely unplanned, planned, and opportunistic, and “customer” identity is captured as emergent, contributing to the constitutive view of identity (Mokros, 2003). Micro-level occurrences producing affirmed norms, such as speaking in lowered voices, and those breached, such as actors’ work-like practices obstructing others, were identified. Taken together, these contributions indicate the relational nature of work-like activities as they occur in interaction in these coffee shops. Macro-level implications of these micro-level occurrences are discussed, along with the limitations, ethical considerations, and an agenda for future research.
A longitudinal analysis of medium spiny neuron activity in dorsolateral striatum during chronic cocaine self-administration
Creators: name: Coffey, Kevin R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Substance abuse is defined by continued consumption of drugs despite their negative consequences, and its treatment is plagued by exceptionally high relapse rates (40-60%). Current behavioral and neurobiological theories of substance abuse predict that with chronic use, drug consumption becomes habitual and neural activity shifts from the nucleus accumbens (NAc) to the dorsolateral Striatum (DLS). In the present study, we sought to test the latter theory: that in the course of chronic cocaine self-administration, DLS neurons acquire phasic patterns of firing in relation to drug-taking behaviors. We recorded from single body part (SBP) neurons in DLS that are specifically related to vertical head movement, (i.e. neck or head sensitive neurons) as well as a control group of non-SBP neurons. Animals self-administered cocaine using a vertical head movement operant and exhibited behavioral evidence of skilled self-administration. To analyze changes in neural firing rate (FR) across cocaine self-administration, we developed a custom generalized mixed model (2x2x12) with 2 levels of Neuron Type (Head Movement and Control), 2 levels of Firing Type (Phasic and Baseline) and 12 levels of recording Session. Baseline (non-movement) FR decreased in DLS neurons across days, but this decrease was confined to Head Movement neurons. Phasic (during head movements) FR differed significantly across sessions in both Head Movement and Control neurons. However, Phasic FR was significantly greater than Baseline FR only in Head Movement neurons, during the first two weeks (Days 3-4, 9-10, and 11-12). In the last two weeks, the population of Head Movement neurons in DLS contributed less to drug-taking behavior. Inconsistent with the tested theory, DLS does not become globally more active with chronic cocaine SA. Instead, chronic cocaine self-administration is related to a decrease in DLS activity, specifically in neurons that process the skill required for self-administering. Consistent with the tested hypothesis however, a small number of neurons acquired progressively more robust head movement activity after 24+ days of self-administration. During abstinence, these neurons could be responsible for processing or executing relapse behaviors.

Role of Bcl-2 proteins in stress-induced apoptosis in a non-transformed mammary epithelial cell line
Creators: name: Butler, Kristie Lynn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death characterized by morphological and physiological changes executed by cells in response to a stimulus.  The apoptotic process contributes to the loss of milk secreting cells (i.e. mammary epithelial cells) that occurs in the bovine mammary gland once peak lactation has occurred.  However, the specific mechanisms by which this occurs are unknown.  The goal of this work was to examine the role of the Bcl-2 family of proteins in regulating apoptosis in the bovine mammary epithelial cell line, MAC-T.  The Bcl-2 family is divided into three categories based on protein function and combinations of four Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains.  Anti-apoptotic multidomain proteins, such as Bcl-2 and Mcl-1, prevent apoptosis by binding to pro-apoptotic members of the family.  Pro-apoptotic multidomain proteins, such as Bax, help to regulate apoptosis at the mitochondrial outer membrane.  Pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins, such as Bad and Bim, act as messengers between the anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins.    To investigate the roles of Bcl-2 proteins in apoptosis, MAC-T cells were treated with anisomycin (ANS), an activator of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway.  ANS had little effect on Bcl-2 or Bax mRNA levels while it induced a 40 to 60% decrease in levels of Bad mRNA.  Protein expression of Bax did not change during apoptosis, while Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and Bad expression decreased to varying degrees.  The greatest change in protein levels was observed for Mcl-1, whose expression was nearly non-detectable after 4 h of treatment with ANS.  Bim was phosphorylated in response to ANS but this was not caused by JNK or p38 signaling.  Knock-down of Bim using siRNA decreased the ability of ANS to induce apoptosis.  Mcl-1 and Bim protein expression changed in a similar time frame, therefore, interactions between the two proteins were evaluated using co-immunoprecipitation experiments.  Mcl-1 and Bim interacted both basally and after treatment with ANS.  The significance of Bim phosphorylation, the kinase responsible for its phosphorylation, and the functional significance of the interaction between Bim and Mcl-1 in stress-induced apoptosis remain to be determined.

The feasibility of the utilization of drop-on-demand technology in the fabrication of flexible dosing, poly-pharmacy, and novel multi-drug design dosage forms
Creators: name: Brown, Marlena
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Current and future trends in the delivery of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) have led to an explosion into the research of the development and understanding of novel drug delivery systems with the capacity to delivery drugs with increasing accuracy and efficiency. The advent of the discoveries made in the human genome project enables genetic and anthropometric information about individuals to be utilized to deliver tailored strategies for the detection, treatment, and prevention of disease.  Microdispensing and, in particular, Drop-on-Demand (DoD) technology, is an optimum technology to employ in this avenue because it allows for the delivery of customizable drug architecture due to its innovative and modular design. DoD enables customization for use in personalized medicine because it is based upon a building block methodology where the dosage and the drug delivery system is adapted by determining key attributes and combining the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and polymer in a block matrix system.   The goal of this research is to examine the feasibility of the utilization of Drop-on-Demand (DoD) technology to manufacture drugs that enable flexible dosing, poly-pharmacy, and multi-drug design dosage forms.  Applied to transdermal drug delivery, we wish to design Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems (TDDS) in an innovative and systematic approach.  We propose to (1) print multi drug dosage forms, (2) decrease the amount of layers currently used in the traditional system, and (3) create new dosage forms by printing the API, skin enhancers, additives, and adhesive components onto the same film with distinct patterns and configurations to achieve the desired dissolution results.

Reliability and validity of the  DBT-VLCS

description: Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) that includes specific strategies a therapist can use to direct treatment. Of these strategies, validation is considered to be the most direct method for communicating acceptance, is proposed to lead to a down-regulation of a problematic emotional response, and is important to consider in treating population characterized by emotional dysregulation. While validation is implicit in many therapies, DBT is one of few treatments to explicitly include six validation strategies. Little research has been conducted to examine how validation is used in therapy and no studies have examined the six levels of validation in DBT. One major limiting factor is the lack of measures designed to assess validation strategies. The DBT-Validation Level Coding Scale (DBT-VLCS) was designed bridge this gap and code for the use of the six validation levels (VL). Two studies were conducted to determine the preliminary psychometric properties of the DBT-VLCS. Results demonstrated that reliability was good for the complete measure (ICC= .905), VL 1 (ICC= .&&1), VL 2 (ICC= .&38), VL 3 (ICC=.623), VL 4 (ICC= .914), VL 5 (ICC= .836), VL 6 (ICC= .831), and an item coding perceived client response (ICC= .900) for all raters. Content validity of the DBT-VLCS was examined through a survey distributed to expert DBT clinicians. The measure achieved good content validity for VLs 1 through 4, VL 6, and the item coding perceived client response. The item coding VL 5 did not achieve good content validity. Overall, the DBT-VLCS appears to be a reliable and valid measure to code the presence of therapist use of validation within an individual DBT treatment session. This measure opens up the opportunity for research on validation that has not previously been possible, including how to increase the effectiveness of DBT for clients with significant emotional dysregulation through the strategic use of therapeutic strategies.

The effects of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games on air quality and public health
Creators: name: Chen, Chen

description: The elevated air pollution level has frequently put China under the world’s spotlight. To better prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games, China had taken a series of radical control actions to improve air quality, including plant closure and relocation, temporary production halt or reduction, furnace replacement, and stringent traffic control along with additional Olympic transportation options. Such actions were carried out in a large geographic area including Beijing and five adjacent provinces, namely, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Shanxi and Tianjin, with a significant cost totaling up to over US$10 billion, which partly made the Beijing Games the most expensive Olympic Games in the history. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the Olympic effect on air quality and public health.     In this study, both air quality data and hospital inpatient records (HIR) before and after the Olympic Games are collected for the Olympic city (Beijing) and non-Olympic city (Shijiazhuang, the capital city of Hebei province). The official daily air pollution index (API) published by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China (MEP) is used to measure air quality. The HIR are collected from both surgical and respiratory departments in one main hospital of each city. Both data cover the time span from June 5th, 2001 to December 31, 2009 for both cities.     Based on the quasi-experimental technique, Difference-in-Difference (DID) analyses, I find that not only the Olympic Games had positive effects in air quality, but the air quality improvement also lasted even after the game, though in a smaller magnitude. On the other hand, the effects of Olympic Games on public health are limited.
