description: The academic performance of children ages 6-17 who suffered burn injury between 1981 and 1985 was studied by use of a pre-post comparison design. Academic performance of the group showed an overall improvement in grade point average (GPA) from a mean 2.44 preburn to 2.66 postburn. The GPA of 28 children (57%) improved, 14 (29%) decreased, and 7 (14%) had no change. Multiple regression analyses of various psychosocial and clinical parameters showed postburn GPAs to be dependent on preburn GPA, degree of interaction with adults, relative level of quietness, relative proneness to fatigue, amount of playfulness with peers, and amount of visible scarring. Adjusted R value of the regression was .440.  Contrary to popular expectation, the academic performance of the majority of these burned children did not deteriorate following burn injury and, in many cases, academic performance improved. Preburn psychosocial traits and postburn coping skills are both reflective of social/school adjustments.
Atmospheric Inverse Modeling with Passivity-Based Input Observers: Estimating Uncertain Aerosol Microphysics

subject: FOS: Chemical engineering

description: Atmospheric models simulate the concentration of gaseous pollutants and aerosols in the atmosphere. Thesemodels include significant mismatch from the true atmosphere resulting from uncertainty in the inputs includingmeteorology and emission fields, extrapolation and simplification of experimentally-derived relationshipsfor the process dynamics, and possibly un-accounted for processes. Uncertainty in aerosol microphysicalprocesses is a significant source of uncertainty in estimates of climate change. In this thesis we estimatetime-varying parameters that adjust uncertain aerosol dynamics to account for some of the model mismatch.We show how to design a passivity-based input observer (PBIO), which estimates model input parameters,using proportional feedback so that the model-measurement error exponentially decays. The PBIO considersa set of inventory variables instead of the full model state-space. Furthermore, the PBIO not only requiresobservations of the inventories but also their derivatives.As the first implementation of the PBIO in an atmospheric model, we estimate uncertain parameters by utilizing daily satellite measurements of aerosol optical depth. We integrate distributed PBIOs with a three-dimensional chemical transport model (CTM) to estimate time-varying sea spray emission scaling factors across the Southern Ocean band. We find the measurement error decreases from 305% to 55% by utilizing distributed PBIOs.To estimate aerosol nucleation, emission, and growth due to organic vapors, we aim to utilize the measured aerosol size distribution. First, we focus on developing and applying the estimation methodology in a zerodimensional “box” model as a proof-of-concept. The PBIO is first tested on a dataset of synthetic and perfect measurements that span diverse environments in which the true particle emissions, growth, and nucleation rates are known. The inverse technique accurately estimates the aerosol microphysical process rates with an average and maximum error of 2% and 13%, respectively. Then, the PBIO is applied to a global 3-D CTMutilizing size distribution measurements at seven field sites in rural Western Europe. The overall model performance, in terms of the inventory variables, is improved with the PBIO at the seven sites as well as at six other sites not included in the online PBIO framework.

Purification and cloning of the Xenopus laevis double-stranded RNA adenosine deaminase
Creators: name: Hough, Ronald Fred
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Genetics
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: This dissertation describes both the purification of a single Xenopus laevis protein with dsRNA adenosine deaminase (dsRAD) activity, and the cloning of two distinct Xenopus dsRAD cDNAs. Purified Xenopus dsRAD is a 120 kDa protein that produces inosine from adenosines within dsRNA by hydrolytic deamination. This reaction does not require additional cofactors, nor an energy source to gain access to adenosines buried within the major groove of an A-form RNA helix. A full length Xenopus cDNA encodes a 1270 amino acid dsRAD-1 protein. A second, nearly complete Xenopus dsRAD-2 cDNA, encodes a protein that shares ~ 85%, amino acid identity with dsRAD-1. At least four mRNAs are expressed in Xenopus oocytes that correspond to long and short forms of each cDNA type. Isolation of C. elegans cDNAs (T20H4.4) related to dsRAD is also described. These cDNAs contain 5' sequences corresponding to a novel class of trans-spliced leaders (SLs), observed to correlate with downstream genes in C. elegans operons. A consensus derived from an amino acid sequence alignment of the highly conserved carboxyl termini of five known, and two putative dsRNA adenosine deaminases, including C. elegans T20H4.4, revealed motifs remarkably similar to the signature motifs of the DNA-(adenine-N6 alpha)-aminomethyltransferases and the DNA-(cytosine-5)-methyltransferases.

Information-theoretic sensor network design and reliable route guidance: planning and enriching advanced traveler information systems

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Estimation and prediction
Reliable route guidance
Sensor location

description: This dissertation aims to develop an innovative and improved paradigm for real-time large-scale traffic system estimation and mobility optimization. To fully utilize heterogeneous data sources in a complex spatial environment, this dissertation proposes an integrated and unified estimation-optimization framework capable of interpreting different types of traffic measurements into various decision-making processes. With a particular emphasis on the end-to-end travel time prediction problem, this dissertation proposes an information-theoretic sensor location model that aims to maximize information gains from a set of point, point-to-point and probe sensors in a traffic network. After thoroughly examining a number of possible measures of information gain, this dissertation selects a path travel time prediction uncertainty criterion to construct a joint sensor location and travel time estimation/prediction framework. To better measure the quality of service for  ransportation systems, this dissertation investigates the path travel time reliability from two perspectives: variability and robustness. Based on calibrated travel disutility functions, the path travel time variability in this research is represented by its standard deviation in addition to the mean travel time. To handle the nonlinear and nonadditive cost functions introduced by the quadratic forms of the standard deviation term, a novel Lagrangian substitution approach is introduced to estimate the lower bound of the most reliable path solution through solving a sequence of standard shortest path problems. To recognize the asymmetrical and heavy-tailed travel time distributions, this dissertation proposes Lagrangian relaxation based iterative search algorithms for finding the absolute and percentile robust shortest paths. Moreover, this research develops a sampling-based method to dynamically construct a proxy objective function in terms of travel time observations from multiple days. Comprehensive numerical experiment results with real-world travel time measurements show that 10-20 iterations of standard shortest path algorithms for the reformulated models can offer a very small relative duality gap of about 2-6%, for both reliability measure models. This broadly-defined research has successfully addressed a number of theoretically challenging and practically important issues for building the next-generation Advanced Traveler Information Systems, and is expected to offer a rich foundation beneficial to the model and algorithmic development of sensor network design, traffic forecasting and personalized navigation.

Comparison Study

description: Studies have shown that pharmacy services influence the amount of nursing time devoted to medication related activities. A difference in dosage form mix"" may have been part of the influence 9-11 attributed entirely to pharmacy services. The new fiscal environment of prospective payment has resulted in hospital personnel reductions which have affected nursing practice. Anything pharmacists can do to reduce nursing time devoted to medication related activities will provide nurses more time to devote to their other nursing care responsibilities. This investigation has examined the influence of dosage form on nursing medication administration time looking at nitroglycerin patches, nitroglycerin ointment and oral tablets. There was not a significant difference between the mean administration times of nitroglycerin patches and nitroglycerin ointment or nitroglycerin patches and oral tablets. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean administration times of nitroglycerin ointment and oral nitrates. Dosage form does influence nursing time devoted to administration of nitroglycerin ointment compared to oral nitrates. Whether other dosage forms influence nursing administration time is a subject for future investigations.""

Relation of pyrogenic and emetic properties of enterobacteriaceal endotoxin and of staphylococcal enterotoxin
Creators: name: Martin, William Jeffery
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Enterobacteriaceal
Straphylococcal

description: The specificity of the first or "presumptive" portion of the U.S.P. rabbit pyrogen test was investigated employing a new absolute standard of reference. The reference standard was 0.9 per cent sodium chloride solution prepared to be pyrogen free.  Details of the preparation were described.  The hypothesis was explored that the temperature response of rabbits following iv injection of the standard solution was independent of exogenous pyrogen. Reactions observed among the rabbits in our colony allowed a classification of these animals ranging form "consistently reliable" to consistently unreliable."  Details of the experimental results and implications for pyrogen testing were discussed.  The recommendation has been made that all rabbit test animals be "screened" before pyrogen testing.  In addition to this work, bacterial substances that elicit fever and vomiting were studies by means of the pyrogen test.  The term endotoxin is commonly employed to describe the fever inducing substances of gram-negative bacilli.  These pyrogenic substances, when isolated in either a relatively impure or purified state, are both pyrogenic in rabbits and cats as well as emetigenic in cats in microgram amounts.  Enterotoxin is the term employed to characterize the emetic substance elaborated during the growth of some, but not, all, strains of Staphylococcus aureus.  The most significant apparent action of the toxin on susceptible animals is to induce vomiting. However, another characteristic of this enterotoxin, which is sometimes overlooked, is to reduce fever.  The hypothesis was formulated that the pyrexic component of enterotoxin was associated with the staphylococcus in the same manner that endotoxin was associated with certain gram-negative bacilli; that is, that the protein was a significant component of the cell itself which was released to the medium largely as a result of autolysis.  Employing similar methods for preparation of endotoxin from known enterotoxic strains of S. aureus has yield preparation with less than one hundredth the activity of the enterobacteriaceal material, However, a purified enterotoxin material, with protein like rather than polysaccharide-like properties, has been found to be both pyrogenic and emetigenic in micrograms amounts.  These results suggested that the emetigenic in microgram amounts. These results suggested that the enterobacteriaceal pyrogen-emetic substance(s) was a significant part of the whole cell, whereas the staphylococcal enterotoxin was elaborated as a metabolic product which apparently did not accumulate in the whole cell.

Accuracy of nurses assessing patients using American Psychiatric Association criteria

Year: 2012
Subjects: Diagnosis

description: This descriptive study investigated the accuracy of nurses in assessing Axis I and Axis II disorders using criteria of the American Psychiatric Association. The diagnosis given by the nursing staff on the psychiatric unit of a regional medical center was compared to the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) and the diagnosis given by the psychiatrist. Ten nurses assessed 50 patients admitted to an inpatient psychiatric hospital for the first time. Results were reported in tabular form. The influence of other variables such as number of years worked in psychiatric nursing, educational level, age, and psychiatric certification was also assessed. Educational level had the most influence on diagnostic accuracy. The baccalaureate nurses matched the MCMI-III 82% of the time, associate nurses 59%, and licensed practical nurses 69%. In this study, the variable 'years worked as a psychiatric nurse' did not seem to influence diagnostic accuracy but was probably confounded with educational level. The nurses who had worked in psychiatry for more than 10 years scored 68%, whereas those who had worked between 5 and 10 years scored 83%. This group, however, also had the highest level of education. Possible explanations for these differences were explored.

description: Arguably, the inherent complexity of network management makes it the top concern for network operators. While true for all networks, network management complexity is significantly exacerbated in open access networks where, unlike more monolithic "closed access networks," services are provided by different service providers on a shared network infrastructure that is operated by a separate network owner/operator. The intricate responsibilities of the role players in this environment, combined with the lack of automation in current network management and operation practices, conspire to prevent open access networks from reaching their true potential. In this thesis, we present our work on the FlowOps framework to address these concerns. FlowOps is a network management and operations framework that provides structured, automated network management for heterogeneous open access network environments. In FlowOps, we are exploring the use of a production rules system to realize automated network management and operations. This rule-based approach enables us to accurately model dependencies and relationships of devices and role players in an open access network. FlowOps enables the automation of network configuration and fault management tasks in both traditional and software-defined networks. We present a prototype implementation of FlowOps and demonstrate its utility for network operators, service providers, and end users.

description: With the discovery of vast fossil resources, and the subsequent development of the fossil fuel and petrochemical industry, the role of biomass-based products has declined. However, concerns about the finite and decreasing amount of fossil and mineral resources, in addition to health and climate impacts of fossil resource use, have elevated interest in innovative methods for converting renewable biomass resources into products that fit our modern lifestyle. Thermal conversion through gasification is an appealing method for utilizing biomass due to its operability using a wide variety of feedstocks at a wide range of scales, the product has a variety of uses (e.g., transportation fuel production, electricity production, chemicals synthesis), and in many cases, results in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. In spite of the advantages of gasification, several technical hurdles have hindered its commercial development. A number of studies have focused on laboratory-scale and atmospheric biomass gasification. However, few studies have reported on pilot-scale, woody biomass gasification under pressurized conditions. The purpose of this research is an assessment of the performance of a pilot-scale, steam-blown, pressurized fluidized bed biomass gasifier. The 200 kWth fluidized bed gasifier is capable of operation using solid feedstocks at feedrates up to 65 lb/hr, bed temperatures up to 1600°F, and pressures up to 8 atm. Gasifier performance was assessed under various temperatures, pressure, and feedstock (untreated woody biomass, dark and medium torrefied biomass) conditions by measuring product gas yield and composition, residue (e.g., tar and char) production, and mass and energy conversion efficiencies. Elevated temperature and pressure, and feedstock pretreatment were shown to have a significant influence on gasifier operability, tar production, carbon conversion, and process efficiency. High-pressure and temperature gasification of dark torrefied biomass yielded the lowest tar concentration (1.6 g/Nm3). High-temperature and low-pressure conditions achieved the highest carbon conversion and cold gas efficiencies of 91 and 94%, respectively. In addition, a relatively new method for monitoring hydrodynamic conditions in fluidized bed reactors using high-frequency bed pressure fluctuation measurement was demonstrated. This method proved capable of being used as a fluidized bed diagnostic method under reactive conditions.
Quantitative studies in T and B cell epitope mimicry

description: For a peptide vaccine to be effective in generating an antibody response, it generally must incorporate both B cell epitopes, against which the antibody response is to be directed, and T cell epitopes, which are responsible for stimulating helper T cells. The first part of this work is concerned with the question, How well can a T cell epitope replace the carrier protein from which it is derived?" To answer this question two studies were done: an initial, direct comparison between a protein (the Fab' fragment of murine monoclonal anti-fluorescein antibody 9-40) coupled to hen egg lysozyme (HEL) and the same protein coupled to the immunodominant T cell epitope from HEL for BIO.A (H-2a) mice, along with negative controls, and a second, dose response study with fluorescein (FL) as the B cell epitope attached to a multiple antigenic peptide (MAP) version of this T cell epitope, along with positive and negative controls (HEL and a MAP in which the epitope sequence was replaced by glycine residues, respectively). This study showed a half-sigmoidal curve for the FL-(T epitope) immunogen, no response to the negative control except at the highest dose used, and a fairly constant and high response for both the experimental MAP and the fluoresceinated HEL.  The initial study described above gave a very specific anti-idiotype response for the (9-40)Fab'-HEL construct. Another, follow-up study comparing a peptide mimic based on an important idiotope, the third complementarity determining region of the heavy chain (the CDR-H3 loop), to the intact idiotype was also conducted.  In this study the peptide mimic of the CDR-H3 loop was the B cell epitope; it was also coupled to HEL. The question being addressed was, "How well can an idiotope peptide mimic replace its parent idiotype?" B10.A mice were immunized with (B epitope)-HEL, (9-40)Fab'-HEL, (B epitope) + HEL mixed together, or just the B epitope. The essential issue was crossreactivity, and this was observed to increase with succeeding immunizations. Molecular dynamics simulations with generalized Born implicit solvation or particle mesh Ewald electrostatics were also used to provide insight into the structural basis of idiotopic phenomena.

description: Here I present the results of my doctoral dissertation, which is aimed at increasing our understanding of the genetic basis of large morphological changes. The work I have done has primarily been carried out using ninespine sticklebacks (Pungitiuspungitius) as a model organism. Specifically, I have investigated the genetic architecture of pelvic reduction (a structure homologous to tetrapod hindlimbs) in multiple populations using a combination of traditional QTL mapping as well as whole-genome comparisons. Additionally, I examined the structure of breed groups among domesticated pigeons (Columba livia) in order to determine whether or not similar derived traits are found in genetically unrelated breeds. This work lays the foundation to develop the domesticated pigeon as a genetic and developmental model for avian diversity.

description: Le comportement mécanique d'assemblages poteau-poutre boulonnés par platine d'about avec ou sans raidisseurs est décrit. Les raidisseurs sont des modes de renforcement courants utilisés dans les assemblages dans certaines zones spécifiques. Leurs positions et dimensions modifient les caractéristiques mécaniques des assemblages. Un modèle numérique élasto-plastique est développé pour représenter le comportement mécanique d'une liaison poteau-poutre par platine d'about. Après validation, le modèle est appliqué pour évaluer les performances mécaniques d'assemblages renforcés par quelques dispositions de raidisseurs. Les résultats numériques obtenus sont comparés à ceux donnés par des études expérimentales existantes.
Changes in perineal musculature following childbirth: postpartum use of a perineal exercise
Creators: name: Allen, Karen Lucille

Subjects: Childbirth

description: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the status of perineal musculature prior to delivery by use of the perineometer and to note changes brought about by vaginal delivery.  The study was conducted in the prenatal clinic and inpatient maternity division of a 277 bed general teaching hospital and extended over a period of eight months. The sample included 20 women beyond 34 weeks gestation with vaginal delivery anticipated (17 multigravidas and 3 primigravidas).  Measurements of perineal muscular contractions were obtained prior to delivery,  at the time of discharge from the hospital following delivery and at the final postpartum examination. Ten women were instructed to exercise by contracting the pubococcygeus muscle as if trying to stop the flow of urine and ten were not instructed to exercise. The data indicated a decrease in strength of contractions of the pubococcygeus following vaginal delivery. The use of a postpartum exercise did not significantly effect the return of strength. Women who delivered relatively heavier babies yielded higher postpartum strength measures. The time that the exercise group was able to sustain a contraction went up across tests in contrast to a downward trend in the time measure for the non-exercise group. Women who had previously been instructed in the exercise yielded lower time scores than those not previously instructed.
Electrical conductivity of nickel nanostrand polymer composites

description: The electrical conductivity properties of nickel nanostrands in polymer composite systems are investigated and characterized. Recently developed nickel nanostrands feature a three-dimensionally interconnecting and branching nanostructure that is shown to be highly effective at imparting electrical conductivity in polymer composites. A systematic investigation of material behaviors is undertaken, with results that have been or will be published in a series of journal articles. The content of the studies that form these articles is given herein as the core content of this work. The first study investigates the basic electrical and mechanical properties of nanostrands in a single polymer system. Key results indicate a strong dependence of conductivity properties on processing conditions, volume fraction of conductor, and sample geometry. Mechanical properties are not significantly altered by the presence of nanostrands. The dispersed nanostrand structure is next investigated through the development of statistical topology tools that can quantify nanostrand dispersions and correlate them to the electrical resistivity of composite films. Quantification of the dispersed nanostructure is a significant improvement over common literature approaches. The next step tests full percolation characterization across multiple polymer systems, and indicates a strong dependence on electrical resistivity between polymer types. Polymer constituent properties are found to be poor predictors of nanostrand composites conductivities, though further testing of addition metrics is expected to bring improved correlation. The concluding investigation seeks electrical conductivity percolation models for nanostrand composites. Existing models show only moderate accuracy, and a newly developed combined percolation tunneling approached is suggested for improved fit to measured conductivity.

description: I analyzed the characteristics of microseisms recorded in the United States by Earthscope Transportable Array (TA) broadband stations during the calendar year of 2009 and a 19-day period of October-November 2012. I used eigen-decomposition of spectral covariance matrices to extract power and polarization information for each hour of data recorded at each seismometer. For the continuous data from 2009, I generated  array-averaged spectrograms and geographical animations to locate individual microseisms. Then, I grouped and cataloged those microseisms according to their initiation time, duration, peak power, average power, dominant period, variation in their period content, degree of polarization, and their azimuths obtained from polarization ellipsoids. Over 78 distinct microseismic events were identified and grouped into four different types. The longest duration microseismic signal occurred in the month of December, 2009, for more than 280 hours and was associated with the propagation of two storms: one from the Gulf of Alaska region and another from the Newfoundland region. The most powerful signal was also recorded in the same month with an average peak period near 6 -sec on December 28-31, 2009, and resulted from wave action associated with two different unnamed storms in the East-Central Pacific and North Atlantic oceans. The seismic observations were compared to excitation predictions computed with the power spectral density of the equivalent pressure generated by ocean gravity waves using the WAVEWATCH-III ocean wave model from the French Research Institue for Exploitation of the Sea (Ifremer). Microseismic excitation predictions were calculated both with and without coastline reflections. I also processed continuous TA seismic data from 17 October-4 November, 2012, coinciding with the passage of Hurricane Sandy. I determined and tracked locations of microseisms as the hurricane propagated from South to North along the U.S. Atlantic coast. I found that the maximum microseismic power and degree of polarization occurred when Sandy made its westward turn towards New York on October 29, 2012. I also found two microseism source locations in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans related to two different storms systems. The locations obtained from the seismic results were compared to the ocean wave models obtained from Ifremer.
Acute care providers' stigmatization of people living with HIV

description: Purpose of Project: The overall aim of this project was to increase the knowledge of healthcare providers about HIV, decrease stigmatization, and improve the quality of care for PWH. This project used an anonymous survey to evaluate healthcare provider stigma and measured the effectiveness of an educational intervention to decrease HIV stigmatization. Methodology: This project used a pre and post-test interventional design. An anonymous survey was administered to participants, which evaluated attitudes and stigmatizing behaviors towards PWH. Then, an educational program based on the results of the survey was administered to participants. Participants’ knowledge of HIV was evaluated using pre- and post-intervention tests. One-month following the intervention, the anonymous survey was re-administered to participants. Outcomes measured included HIV knowledge, attitudes towards PLWH, and stigmatizing behaviors. Results: The results of the anonymous survey identified self-reported incidents of clinical discrimination, observations of stigmatization, and fear of infection on the part of providers. Participants reported wearing double gloves when caring for PWH. Other participants reported they had witnessed providers rendering poorer treatment to PWH as well as talking badly about PWH. The educational session pre-test identified some misconceptions about HIV transmission and testing. The mean pre-intervention test score was 86% and after the educational intervention, the mean test score was 100%. A post-educational survey was completed to evaluate providers assessment of the educational session, 100% of participants reported that they felt their practice would change based on the educational session. The educational session sparked an interest in HIV care, indicated by continued inquiries about HIV and PWH, and several providers were also eager to become involved in helping the community. Implications for Practice: The results of this project demonstrate the need to continue to pursue effective strategies to decrease stigmatization of PWH by healthcare providers. This project serves as a foundation for further programs to decrease stigma and clinical discrimination towards PWH and other marginalized groups in healthcare facilities.

Coarse tetrahedral meshing for interactive simulation

description: We present a procedure for generating a coarse, high-quality, tetrahedral mesh whose exterior surface encloses and approximates a given triangle mesh. A tetrahedral mesh is useful for computing perturbation of the triangle mesh based on continuum mechanics: perturbation such as plastic flow, fracture, and elastic deformation. The computer graphics community has long used this physics-based simulation to produce animations of objects exhibiting such physical phenomena. Interactive animation applications such as industrial design, medical training, and computer entertainment require meshes that are particularly efficient and robust, and our meshing procedure targets these properties. We begin with a BCC background lattice and sculpt an initial mesh from it whose tetrahedra occupy some of the volume bounded by the triangle mesh. We then refine this initial mesh with an iterative optimization procedure that simultaneously minimizes the distance from the triangle mesh to the surface of the tetrahedral mesh and maximizes the numerical quality of the tetrahedra. Our procedure provides a trade-off among the mesh's quality, resolution, and degree of approximation of the triangle mesh.

Note. Cyclocephala discicollis is mentioned for French Guiana in Endrödi (1966a: 184, 1985a: 47, 120) and Moore et al. (2018b: 169), but its occurrence there is questioned by Ratcliffe (2003: 116) and Duranton (2011: 12). The species is not mentioned at all in the checklists of Ponchel (2011) and Dupuis (2016b). As there are no recent records from the research area, we assume that the record from French Guiana in Endrödi (1966, 1985a) and Moore et al. (2018b) is based on a mislabeled or misidentified specimen. We regard this species as not occurring in the research area.
