description: Malignancies of extracolonic origin can be the cause of colorectal obstruction. Acute colorectal obstruction generally requires rapid decompression. Self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement is a nonsurgical alternative for palliation of malignant extracolonic obstruction. Knowing the pathology of the underlying cause of the obstruction allows management to be appropriately directed for the stented patient. Pathological confirmation of malignancy by endoscopic biopsy in patients with extracolonic obstruction is difficult and the presence of an existing stent can hamper the ability to obtain diagnostic tissue.

description: In recent years the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has garnered increasing interest as a target for chemotherapeutics. Due to the success of the proteasome inhibitors Bortezomib and Carfilzomib in the treatment of multiple myeloma, several new compounds have been developed to target E3 ubiquitin ligases and the proteasome in numerous human cancers. This has increased the need for new analytical methods to precisely measure intracellular enzyme activity in cells. A key component of a desired analytical method is a substrate that is capable of rapid intracellular ubiquitination yet easily incorporated into the next generation of more sophisticated UPS reporters. Portable degradation sequences, or degrons, have the ability to bind to E3 ligases and promote substrate ubiquitination when the sequence is presented in isolation or appended to other entities such as fluorescent peptide-based reporters. Previous work identified an E3 ligase (MDM2)-binding element at p53 amino acids 92-112, which was later demonstrated to be rapidly ubiquitinated in cytosolic lysates effectively functioning as a transportable degron. In this work, a shortened p53 sequence within amino acids 92-112 that displayed rapid ubiquitination kinetics was identified. A nine-member peptide library was synthesized using sequence elements of various sizes and lengths, all based on the initial 22 amino acid long sequence, containing a single ubiquitination site lysine. The ubiquitination kinetics were determined using a combination of gel electrophoresis and analytical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to rank the members of the library and identify the optimal ubiquitination sequence. This analysis identified the five amino acid sequence, KGSYG, corresponding to residues 105-108 with an added N-terminal lysine, as a portable degron since this sequence demonstrated the most rapid ubiquitination kinetics.

description: Planar homography estimation is foundational to many computer vision problems, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and Augmented Reality (AR). However, conditions of high variance confound even the state-of-the-art algorithms. In this report, we analyze the performance of two recently published methods using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that are meant to replace the more traditional feature-matching based approaches to the estimation of homography. Our evaluation of the CNN based methods focuses particularly on measuring the performance under conditions of significant noise, illumination shift, and occlusion. We also measure the benefits of training CNNs to varying degrees of noise. Additionally, we compare the effect of using color images instead of grayscale images for inputs to CNNs. Finally, we compare the results against baseline feature-matching based homography estimation methods using SIFT, SURF, and ORB. We find that CNNs can be trained to be more robust against noise, but at a small cost to accuracy in the noiseless case. Additionally, CNNs perform significantly better in conditions of extreme variance than their feature-matching based counterparts. With regard to color inputs, we conclude that with no change in the CNN architecture to take advantage of the additional information in the color planes, the difference in performance using color inputs or grayscale inputs is negligible. About the CNNs trained with noise-corrupted inputs, we show that training a CNN to a specific magnitude of noise leads to a ``Goldilocks Zone'' with regard to the noise levels where that CNN performs best.

description: Invasive infections with Mycobacterium chimaera were reported in patients with previous open chest surgery and exposure to contaminated heater-cooler units (HCUs). We present results of the surveillance of clinical cases and of contaminated HCUs as well as environmental investigations in Germany up until February 2016. Clinical infections occurred in five male German cases over 50 years of age (range 53–80). Cases had been exposed to HCUs from one single manufacturer during open chest surgery up to five years prior to onset of symptoms. During environmental investigations, M. chimaera was detected in samples from used HCUs from three different countries and samples from new HCUs as well as in the environment at the manufacturing site of one manufacturer in Germany. Our investigation suggests that at least some of the M. chimaera infections may have been caused by contamination of HCUs at manufacturing site. We recommend that until sustainable measures for safe use of HCUs in operation theatres are implemented, users continue to adhere to instructions for use of HCUs and Field Safety Notices issued by the manufacturer, implement local monitoring for bacterial contamination and continuously check the websites of national and European authorities for current recommendations for the safe operation of HCUs.

description: Microglia and monocytes play important roles in regulating brain remyelination. We developed DUOC-01, a cell therapy product intended for treatment of demyelinating diseases, from banked human umbilical cord blood (CB) mononuclear cells. Immunodepletion and selection studies demonstrated that DUOC-01 cells are derived from CB CD14+ monocytes. We compared the ability of freshly isolated CB CD14+ monocytes and DUOC-01 cells to accelerate remyelination of the brains of NOD/SCID/IL2Rγ null mice following cuprizone feeding-mediated demyelination. The corpus callosum of mice intracranially injected with DUOC-01 showed enhanced myelination, a higher proportion of fully myelinated axons, decreased gliosis and cellular infiltration, and more proliferating oligodendrocyte lineage cells than those of mice receiving excipient. Uncultured CB CD14+ monocytes also accelerated remyelination, but to a significantly lesser extent than DUOC-01 cells. Microarray analysis, quantitative PCR studies, Western blotting, and flow cytometry demonstrated that expression of factors that promote remyelination including PDGF-AA, stem cell factor, IGF1, MMP9, MMP12, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 were upregulated in DUOC-01 compared to CB CD14+ monocytes. Collectively, our results show that DUOC-01 accelerates brain remyelination by multiple mechanisms and could be beneficial in treating demyelinating conditions.

description: Suboptimal laboratory diagnostics for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) impedes its surveillance and control across Europe. We evaluated changes in local laboratory CDI diagnostics and changes in national diagnostic and typing capacity for CDI during the European C. difficile Infection Surveillance Network (ECDIS-Net) project, through cross-sectional surveys in 33 European countries in 2011 and 2014. In 2011, 126 (61%) of a convenience sample of 206 laboratories in 31 countries completed a survey on local diagnostics. In 2014, 84 (67%) of these 126 laboratories in 26 countries completed a follow-up survey. Among laboratories that participated in both surveys, use of CDI diagnostics deemed ‘optimal’ or ‘acceptable’ increased from 19% to 46% and from 10% to 15%, respectively (p
Evaluation of North Carolina’s Statewide Vision Zero Collaborative Support Model

description: Effective cross-sector collaboration is vital for tackling complex challenges such as roadway safety. Vision Zero, a collaborative initiative at the intersection of transportation planning and public health, seeks to eliminate all fatalities and serious injuries on roadways while promoting safe, healthy, and equitable mobility. Since 2020, with support from the North Carolina Governor’s Highway Safety Program (GHSP), an interdisciplinary team at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC) has provided technical assistance to Vision Zero communities across North Carolina to strengthen community capacity to address road violence through the advancement of effective, multi-sector coalitions. This North Carolina Vision Zero (NCVZ) Collaborative Support Model (the Support Model) adapts and applies public health frameworks to strengthen community-based road safety efforts.
While NCVZ has been working with their community partners for the past three years, there has not been a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of the NCVZ support resources and tools on community partner outcomes. This evaluation examines the impacts of the Support Model approaches, frameworks, tools, and resources; assesses the level of support for cross-sector collaboration; and identifies gaps and opportunities to better support NCVZ communities.
Through qualitative and quantitative data analysis and NCVZ community partner interviews, this project assesses the activities and outcomes of the NCVZ initiative, highlighting the impact of its Support Model. This evaluation seeks to inform planning and resource allocation for the NCVZ Collaborative Support Model and shape future NCVZ Leadership Institute curricula. The findings provide strategies the UNC Support Team may be able to implement to better assist NCVZ community partners and identifies additional opportunities for peer learning. The results may also help shape Vision Zero support strategies nationwide.
Exploring South Asian Immigrants Experiences with Food

description: Introduction: South Asian immigrants in the United States have a higher rate of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular disease risk factors as compared to White Americans and other Asian American populations (Reddy et al., 2022). Diet is a modifiable risk factor in the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (Reddy et al., 2022). This study aims to explore the food practices and preferences of South Asian immigrants to inform more culturally relevant dietary recommendations in healthcare.

Methods: Participants were recruited via purposive sampling in the Triangle region of North Carolina. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom. Analytic and reflexive memoing was used to analyze the interview transcripts and develop themes. Recruitment is ongoing; once recruitment is complete, thematic analysis will be utilized. 

Results: Three participants were interviewed, all of whom were female and from India. Factors influencing food choices and practices include convenience, flavor, health benefits, family, novelty and religious traditions. Participants were found to have strong connections to their home country of India via food, falling within the concept of transnationalism.

Discussion: Food can offer immigrants a connection to their country of origin, and it is important for medical providers to respect this connection by offering culturally sensitive dietary recommendations. Additionally, more research is needed to explore diet and health behaviors of South Asian immigrants in the United States from perspectives beyond acculturation and assimilation.

description: In Germany, the number of reported syphilis cases increased between 11% and 22% per year between 2010 and 2014. We analysed syphilis surveillance data and data of four behavioural surveys on men who have sex with men (MSM) in Germany (2003, 2007, 2010, 2013) to assess if this rise is ongoing and to find possible explanations for it. Syphilis notifications increased in 2015 by 19% to a total of 6,834. This was mainly due to increasing notifications in MSM of all age groups in larger German cities. Data from the behavioural surveys on MSM in Germany showed a simultaneous increase of selective condom use as HIV-status-bases risk management strategy and the number of syphilis cases. MSM diagnosed with HIV reported condomless anal intercourse with non-steady partners more frequent than MSM not diagnosed with HIV or untested for HIV, but the latter also reported higher frequencies of this behaviour in the more recent surveys. Transmission in HIV-positive MSM probably plays an important, but not exclusive role, for the syphilis dynamics in Germany. A risk adapted routine screening for sexually active MSM and potentially innovative approaches to increase early screening and treatment of syphilis such as internet counselling, home sampling, home testing and broadening venue-based (rapid) testing, should be critically evaluated to effectively reduce syphilis infections.

description: Thermal radiation is a fundamental heat transfer process, with certain basic aspects still not fully understood. Furthermore, tailoring its properties has potential to affect a wide range of applications, particularly thermophotovoltaics (TPV) and radiative cooling. TPV converts heat into electricity using thermal radiation to illuminate a photovoltaic diode, with no moving parts. With its realistic efficiency limit up to 50% (heat source at 1200 oC), TPV has garnered substantial interest. However, state-of-the-art TPV demonstrations are still well below theoretical limits, because of losses from generating and efficiently converting or recycling thermal radiation. In this thesis, tailored integrated photonic crystal structures are numerically simulated to enhance the efficiency of solar TPV. Next, a high-temperature thin-film Si-based selective absorber and emitter is designed, fabricated and experimentally characterized. It exhibits great potential to open up new applications, as it lends itself to large-scale production with substantial mechanical flexibility and excellent spectral selectivity for extended time periods, even when operating under high operating temperatures (600 oC) for up to 6 hours, with partial degradation after 24 hours. To perform this high-temperature characterization, an emittance measurement setup has been built; its performance agrees well with numerical simulations. Second, a unique passive cooling mechanism known as radiative cooling is developed to reduce the operating temperature of the photovoltaic diode. The significant effect of radiative cooling as a complement for an all-passive-cooling TPV system is proposed and numerically analyzed under a range of conditions. Furthermore, an outdoor experiment has been performed to demonstrate the effect of radiative cooling on a concentrating photovoltaic system, which can potentially be applied to the thermal management of a TPV system. In summary, this work paves the way towards the development of reliable, quiet, lightweight, and sustainable TPV and radiatively cooled power sources for outdoor applications.

description: The International Linear Collider is a linear $e^{+}e^−$ accelerator, which is unique due to the clean environment and its capability for high precision measurements. To achieve these goals the backgrounds for linear colliders have to be understood in great detail, and both, the machine and the detectors, have to be optimized towards that goal. Not only beam-beam induced backgrounds but also machine backgrounds were simulated and their impact on the SiD detector performance were studied with respect to different SiD design choices. From these studies several suggestions towards machine and detector optimizations are brought forward.

description: In this dissertation, we first used high-speed X-ray phase contrast imaging and infrared thermal imaging techniques to study the formation processes of adiabatic shear bands in aluminum 7075-T6 and 6061-T6 alloys. A modified compression Kolsky bar setup was developed to apply the dynamic loading. A flat hat-shaped specimen design was adopted for generating the shear bands at the designated locations. Experimental results show that 7075-T6 exhibits less ductility and a narrower shear band than 6061-T6. Maximum temperatures of 720 K and 770 K were locally determined within the shear band zones for 7075-T6 and 6061-T6 respectively. This local high temperature zone and the resulting thermal instability were found to relate to the shear band formation in these aluminum alloys. Secondly, a high-speed laser phosphorescence thermal imaging technique is developed and integrated with the compression Kolsky bar setup. The temperature field measurement during dynamic loading are performed at 100 – 200 kHz frame rate with a spatial resolution of 13 µm/pixel. The dynamic compression of copper shows 312 K temperature rise among the material surface. Experiments with thermocouple are also conducted and the results verifies the laser measurement. In the dynamic shear of aluminums, the temperature evolution during adiabatic shear band formation was observed and the results are compared with infrared measurements. The shear band was found forming at approximately 400 K and 440 K for 7075-T6 and 6061-T6, respectively, while the maximum temperature is measured as 650 K for 7075-T6 and 800 K for 6061-T6. Although the maximum temperature agrees with the infrared results, thermal softening is not considered as the main cause of the ASB formation due to the low temperature when the shear band forms.

description: Warm-water coral reefs are facing unprecedented human-driven threats to their continued existence as biodiverse functional ecosystems upon which hundreds of millions of people rely. These impacts may drive coral ecosystems past critical thresholds, beyond which the system reorganises, often abruptly and potentially irreversibly; this is what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2022) define as a tipping point. Determining tipping point thresholds for coral reef ecosystems requires a robust assessment of multiple stressors and their interactive effects. In this perspective piece, we draw upon the recent global tipping point revision initiative (Lenton et al., 2023a) and a literature search to identify and summarise the diverse range of interacting stressors that need to be considered for determining tipping point thresholds for warm-water coral reef ecosystems. Considering observed and projected stressor impacts, we endorse the global tipping point revision's conclusion of a global mean surface temperature (relative to pre-industrial) tipping point threshold of 1.2 °C (range 1-1.5 °C) and the long-term impacts of atmospheric CO2 concentrations above 350 ppm, while acknowledging that comprehensive assessment of stressors, including ocean warming response dynamics, overshoot, and cascading impacts, have yet to be sufficiently realised. These tipping point thresholds have already been exceeded, and therefore these systems are in an overshoot state and are reliant on policy actions to bring stressor levels back within tipping point limits. A fuller assessment of interacting stressors is likely to further lower the tipping point thresholds in most cases. Uncertainties around tipping points for such crucially important ecosystems underline the imperative of robust assessment and, in the case of knowledge gaps, employing a precautionary principle favouring lower-range tipping point values.

Connected Facility Location problem

description: In this paper we consider the Robust Connected Facility Location (ConFL) problem within the robust discrete optimization framework introduced by Bertsimas and Sim (2003). We propose an Approximate Robust Optimization (ARO) method that uses a heuristic and a lower bounding mechanism to rapidly find high-quality solutions. The use of a heuristic and a lower bounding mechanism–as opposed to solving the robust optimization (RO) problem exactly–within this ARO approach significantly decreases its computational time. This enables one to obtain high quality solutions to large-scale robust optimization problems and thus broadens the scope and applicability of robust optimization (from a computational perspective) to other NP-hard problems. Our computational results attest to the efficacy of the approach.

description: Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States with over 1 million acute coronary events predicted to take place in 2019 alone. Heart failure, a common and deadly sequela of myocardial infarction (MI), is attributed to adverse ventricular remodeling driven by cardiomyocyte death, inflammation, and mechanical factors. Despite strong evidence suggesting the importance of myocardial mechanics in driving cardiac remodeling, many in vivo MI studies still rely on 2D analyses to estimate global left ventricular (LV) function and approximate strain using a linear definition. These metrics, while valuable in evaluating the overall impact of ischemic injury on cardiac health, do not capture regional differences in myocardial contractility. The objective of this work is therefore to expand upon existing ultrasound studies by enabling regional analysis of 3D myocardial strain. By integrating our recently developed four-dimensional ultrasound (4DUS) imaging technique with a direct deformation estimation algorithm for 3D strain, we identified unique remodeling patterns and regional strain differences between two murine models of MI with different infarct severities. By constructing 3D strain maps of the remodeling LVs, we were able to capture strain heterogeneity and characterize a sigmoidal strain profile at infarct border zones. Finally, we demonstrated that the maximum principal component of the 3D Green-Lagrange strain tensor correlates with LV remodeling severity and is predictive of final infarct size. Taken together, the presented work provides a novel and thorough approach to quantify regional 3D strain, an important component when assessing post-MI remodeling.

description: There are millions of individuals in the world who currently experience limited mobility as a result of aging, stroke, injuries to the brain or spinal cord, and certain neurological diseases. Robotic Assistive Devices (RADs) have shown superiority in helping people with limited mobility by providing physical movement assistance. However, RADs currently existing on the market for people with limited mobility are still far from intelligent.
Learning control strategies are developed in this study to make a Cable-Driven Assistive Device (CDAD) intelligent in assisting a human joint (e.g., a knee joint, an ankle joint, or a wrist joint). CDADs are a type of RADs designed based on Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs). A PID–FNN control strategy and DDPG-based strategies are proposed to allow a CDAD to learn physical human-robot interactions when controlling the pose of the human joint. Both pose-tracking and trajectory-tracking tasks are designed to evaluate the PID–FNN control strategy and the DDPG-based strategies through simulations. Simulations are conducted in the Gazebo simulator using an example CDAD with three degrees of freedom and four cables. Simulation results show that the proposed PID–FNN control strategy and DDPG-based strategies work in controlling a CDAD with proper learning.

description: Over the past decades, in addition to conventional Si-based devices, significant efforts have been made to explore stable compound semiconductor materials (SiC, III-V compounds, and various oxides) and their applications. Among these, GaN-based devices have been widely adopted and commercialized successfully, as GaN possesses chemical inertness, high electron mobility, a wide energy band gap (3.4 eV), etc. However, previous research on GaN UV photodetectors has primarily focused on GaN grown in the polar direction, which faces performance limitations due to spontaneous and piezoelectric fields. Further, while significant progress has been made in examining the photodetection properties of GaN grown on conventional dielectric materials like SiO2 and Al2O3, there remains an unexplored area in examining these properties on unconventional oxide substrates such as MgO, LiAlO3, SrTiO3 (STO), etc. Due to their incompatibility at high GaN growth temperature (800-1000 ℃) required by conventional techniques (MOCVD, MBE, HVPE, etc.). Further, the optical radiation detection range of GaN is confined to the ultraviolet region. For practical optoelectronic applications, photodetectors capable of detecting light across a wide wavelength range (300-1100 nm) with autonomous light-detection capabilities are essential.
To address these issues, growing GaN along semi-polar and non-polar directions could improve the performance of GaN-based photodetector devices. Further, the photodetection properties of GaN grown on other lattice-matched oxide substrates can be explored using the LMBE technique, which can grow GaN at relatively low temperatures. Further, heterojunction semiconductors comprising a GaN in conjunction with a narrow bandgap material play a crucial role in developing self-powered multi-wavelength photodetectors. Recent advances in topological insulators offer promising prospects for quantum, electronic, and optoelectronic devices. Integrating these materials with GaN nanostructures paves the way for high-efficiency innovations. That spans nearly the entire spectrum of interest in photodetector exploration.
Laying a foundation, this study first addresses the growth of GaN nanostructure on various plane orientations of sapphire using the LMBE technique. Further, we demonstrated the photodetection capability of single crystalline epitaxial GaN grown on STO at ≤ 600℃ using the LMBE technique. On the other side of the coin, we aim to make the heterojunction of the Bi2Se3 a topological insulator with LMBE-grown GaN nanostructures on sapphire and STO to fabricate highly responsive self-powered UV-Vis-NIR broadband photodetectors.

description: This dissertation consists of three essays that study problems that decision-makers face when hitherto niche technologies scale up. Typically, scaling up involves market expansion with participation from a variety of agents with complex preferences, using the technology to maximize their utility. A major problem for the decision maker then is either one or a combination of the following: deciding policy for optimal business or social outcomes, implementing effcient demand allocation mechanisms or improving market design.

description: This thesis studies the distributed solutions to the coupled convex feasibility and optimization problems on agent networks, with the aim of reducing the storage and communication requirements for individual agents by exploiting the potential coupling sparsity across agents. We first focus on the convex feasibility problems. Four iterative solutions are proposed, where each agent only maintains its own variable together with its desired values for those neighboring agents whose valuations help determining its feasibility; within each iteration, projection and consensus operations are carried out by agents in parallel based on information from only the relevant neighbors. Then the approach is extended to solve convex optimization problems for a group of agents whose constraints as well as objective functions may depend on neighbors' variables. Similar solution algorithms are developed by replacing the projection with the proximal operator. Finally, we consider the optimization problems subject to global constraints that involve every agent on the network in addition to the local couplings. Distributed algorithms (with or without a coordinator) following the same approach are proposed. Convergence analysis and numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

PROPAGATION OF EN-ROUTE AIRCRAFT NOISE
Creators: name: Wang, Yiming
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Acoustics and noise control (excl. architectural acoustics)

description: The prediction of the noise generated by en-route aircraft is gradually gaining in importance as the number of aircraft increases over the last few decades. While the studies of outdoor sound propagation have been focused on near ground propagation, the case when the sound source is high above the ground has not attracted much attention. At the same time there has been a lack of high-quality aircraft acoustic validation data sets that contain detailed acoustic, meteorology, and source-receiver position data. The DISCOVER-AQ data set, which was collected by Volpe in support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has greatly helped with studying the directivity and the Doppler effect in the comparison between simulation results and measurements.
To provide a more accurate prediction of en-route aircraft noise, we derived the analytic asymptotic solution of the sound field above a non-locally reacting ground due to a moving point source and a line source using the methods of the steepest descent and a Lorentz transform. The model predicts a much more accurate result for sound field above "soft" grounds, such as a snow-covered ground and sand-covered ground. At the same time, we derived a fast numerical algorithm based on Levin’s collocation for the prediction of the sound field in the presence of a temperature gradient, which can be applied to a wide range of acoustic problems involving integration. The achievements recorded in this thesis can be used to predict the sound field generated by aircraft, trains, and vehicles with a subsonic moving speed. In addition,
the model can be used for detection and design of moving sound source.
