Effects of nanoparticle functionalization, shape & size on lung function & inflammation
Creators: name: Botelho, Danielle Joy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: With the rise of nanoparticle use in commercial products, industry, and medicine, there is a need to better understand the consequences of nanoparticle exposure. Due to their nano-scale size, the lung is a primary route of exposure. To study the effects of nanoparticle functionalization, shape and size on the lung, an organ-level toxicological approach was taken. To achieve an organ-level approach, respiratory mechanics were first evaluated using a murine model. Following ventilation, bronchoalveolar lavage was performed to obtain cells and lung lining fluid for cytokine, protein, and lipid analysis. Lastly, the lungs were harvested for assessment of tissue structure and immunohistochemistry. The collection of these endpoints allowed for a more complex approach that relates both molecular and physiological endpoints, which provides the foundation for more translational work to be done that addresses both environmental and occupational exposure risks to the public concerning nanomaterials. The data provided within this thesis validates that the primary driving factors in organ level respiratory response to nanoparticle exposure are: core composition (metal v. carbon), zeta potential, shape, and host inflammatory state. These factors affect injury and inflammation, surfactant composition and lung function. Overall, this work outlines how nanoparticle biophysics alter both lung function and inflammation.

Disenchanted lives
Creators: name: Brooks, Edward Marshall
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation ethnographically explores the contemporary phenomenon of religious apostasy (that is, rejecting ones religious faith or church community) among current and former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka Mormons). Over the past decade there has been increasing awareness in both the institutional church and the popular media that growing numbers of once faithful church members are becoming dissatisfied and disenchanted with their faith. In response, throughout Utah post-Mormon and ex-Mormon communities have begun appearing offering a social community and emotional support for those transitioning out of the church. Through fifteen months of ethnographic research in the state of Utah I investigated these events as they unfolded in people’s everyday lives living in a region of the country wholly dominated by the Mormon Church’s presence. In particular, I conducted participant observation in church services, ex-Mormon support group meetings, social networks and family events, as well as in-depth interviews with current and former church members. Each chapter of this dissertation explores the causes and effects of religious disenchantment as they reverberate across multiple registers: how an overabundance of memory about Mormonism’s sacred history has led to people’s estrangement from its religious life-world; how despite rejecting beliefs on a cognitive basis the effects of those beliefs can still linger in people’s sense of embodied self; how apostates’ uncanny familiarity provokes current church members’ attempts to expel them from families and neighborhoods; and how the loss of belief is negotiated through attempts to both identity and dis-identify with the Mormon community.

description: atava. Sphinx atava Charpentier, 1843
Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae (?).
Croatia, Radoboj; Burdigalian, early Miocene.
Depository: specimen probably lost.
Published figures: Scudder (1875: Pl. I Figs 1, 3, 7).
Only part of forewing. Judging from the detailed description by Heer (see Scudder 1875: 42) the radial formula is 1, 2, 3+(4+5) (R2 not clearly seen), with M1 originating from the cell. The cell is open (as far as can be judged). What is left of the apical part of the outer margin seems to be dentate, but the fossil is too much damaged to be certain.
Described by Charpentier (1843) as belonging to Sphingidae (Sphingoidea), but Heer (see Scudder 1875) stated that the costa was too strongly curved for a hawkmoth, and he placed it, under the name “ attavina ”, in the nymphalid genus Vanessa. He was followed by Kirby (1871) who misspelled the name “ atovina ”, but later (1877: 733) he listed it under the correct name in Nymphalis. Kozlov (1988) listed the fossil as belonging to the fossil genus Nymphalites. Scudder (1875) assigned the fossil to the genus Eugonia, which is closely related to Vanessa and Nymphalis (the present use of these genus names is slightly different, but not important here). The radial arrangement is a plesiomorphic condition. The open cell is an apomorphy of the Nymphalinae, but recurs in some other nymphalids. The dentate apex is suggestive of the apex in the Nymphalini (probably an apomorphy of the tribe), but the fossil is not very clear in this character. What is left of the markings (darker and lighter patches) is very similar to what is found in many Nymphalini, such as Aglais urticae (Linnaeus), Nymphalis vau-album (Schiffermüller), Polygonia c-album (Linnaeus), etc. This design is possibly apomorphic for the Nymphalini, as is the dentate apex. The fossil does not appear to show any apomorphic character of an extant genus. It could be used as calibration point at the root of Nymphalini, but since its age is relatively young, a calibration age will not be helpful.

Exploring an expanded conception of epistemic cognition
Creators: name: Buckland, Luke Andrew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: A series of three independent articles explore how the expanded framework for modeling epistemic cognition developed in Chinn, Buckland and Samarapungavan (2011) can advance psychological research. The first study: “Epistemic cognition and understanding the nature of science” investigates relations between the expanded epistemic framework and research into conceptions of the Nature of Science (NOS). This study surveys the conceptions addressed over the history of NOS research, developing a comprehensive analytic framework to trace the scope of the topics that feature in a diverse range of 81 NOS instruments used in six decades of research. By tracing historical change in the kinds of conceptions targeted for investigation, the study reveals how debate about measures and norms has led to new and modified instrumentation. The second study: “Epistemic cognition and reliable processes of knowledge production” investigates an under-researched component of the Chinn et al. (2011) framework - beliefs about the reliable processes by which knowledge is achieved. Interview and written data served to trace the epistemic beliefs about reliable processes of 19 participating undergraduates, as they reasoned about a diverse array of knowledge-generating processes. The data reveals considerable variation amongst participants in the range and kinds of processes and conditions that they considered relevant to the production of knowledge. The third study: “Epistemic growth in model-based reasoning” explores the epistemic criteria implicit in the model-based reasoning of 24 seventh-grade students engaged in inquiry learning. It conducts a fine-grained investigation of the justificatory practices of learners drawn from the classes of four teachers in two dissimilar schools, over a full school year. Data sources comprise participants’ written justifications of constructed, peer, group and given models, and their comparative evaluations during model choice. Participating students adopted a complex array of higher-level criteria in their judgments about model quality, and the study provides pedagogically valuable insight into the characteristic strengths and weaknesses of their justificatory practices. Through these three inter-related studies, we argue that the expanded framework represents a viable and productive tool for advancing the field of research into epistemic cognition.
Essays on international capital and the financial sector
Creators: name: Bush, Georgia R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Chapter 2 of the dissertation analyzes the relationship between de jure financial openness and de facto financial openness. When a country changes its policy towards foreign financial transactions, do actual capital flows respond? I use the Chinn-Ito index to proxy a country's legal regime regarding external transactions, and examine its relationship to realized international capital flows disaggregated by type and direction. Panel data estimation methods are used to explicitly assess the interaction of country development characteristics with policy. I find that in general the relation between legal openness and realized international financial flows is weak. However looking at the decomposition, I find policy does affect Foreign Direct Investment and debt outflows. Furthermore, I find that country attributes play a key role in the efficacy of the policy stance, in particular a country's level of domestic financial development. Turning to time series methods, I then estimate a VEC model and analyze the variance decompositions of five Asian economies' bank lending rates. I find that the experience of Japan, South Korea and Indonesia support the conclusions arising from the panel analysis that greater financial development enhances realized financial openness.      Focusing on determinants of financial development, Chapter 3 and 4 test for empirical evidence of experience effects in banking. The hypothesis is that firm-specific or sector-wide learning, via knowledge spillovers, improves bank cost efficiency. Chapter 3 constructs a bank cost function extended to include firm-specific experience. Using a sample of US banks and applying a two-step correction procedure to my bank cost function, I correct for endogeneity as well as selection biases. I find that experience is associated with reduced costs: the experience effect is decreasing and fades after around 10 years. Chapter 4 extends the analysis to a sample of international banks and tests for knowledge spillovers. First a simple learning curve model is estimated. Next, the international sample is used to estimate the bank-specific cost function developed in Chapter 3. The estimated experience effects vary depending on the experience proxy and econometric model used, potentially due to data limitations. Nevertheless, the results suggest some evidence of firm-specific learning by doing and international knowledge spillovers in banking.

Personal ontology and bioethics
Creators: name: Campbell, Timothy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation considers how we should treat human beings whose moral status is controversial, such as human embryos, fetuses, and the irreversibly comatose.  My approach to this question sidesteps the traditional “personhood” debate, and instead explores the issue of moral status through the lens of what Judith Jarvis Thomson calls personal ontology—the branch of metaphysics that asks what kind of being we are and what the conditions of our identity over time are.  Instead of asking what properties something must exemplify in order to count as a person, personal ontology is concerned with the kinds of things that might exemplify those properties, such as immaterial souls, human animals, embodied minds, bundles of perceptions, etc.  One of my central claims is that we are not human animals—beings that persist through time in virtue of the continuity of purely animal functions such as respiration, circulation, and digestion. Instead, I argue, we are conscious beings distinct from human animals, and our continued existence, under normal conditions, depends on the continuity of our neural capacities for consciousness.  I argue that this view supports several important conclusions, including the conclusion that killing a human animal and/or using it as a biological resource is morally justified if this is the only reasonable way to achieve a certain significant good—the fulfillment of a sufficiently weighty self-interest that we have--and it does not violate anyone else’s rights or produce any evil that nullifies or outweighs this good.

Pleistocene copal from East Africa (Zanzibar), but see the comments below.
Copal is half-fossilized resin, an intermediate stage of polymerization and hardening.
Depository: unknown.
Published figures: A picture of the fossil has not been published. Good pictures of the extant species can be found in many books on African butterflies.
This specimen was listed by Skalski (1976) without further information. It is a widespread extant species, occurring over most of sub-Saharan Africa. It is highly remarkable that dripping resin could trap a member of this genus of strong and fast-flying species, unless it was already dead or crippled.
The fossil is listed by Sohn et al. (2012) as originating from "Tanzania: Zanzibar Island". However, as explained by Evers (1907), the so-called Zanzibar-Copal does not originate from the island, but from the costal area of Tanzania between Bagamoyo to Lindi. The name "Zanzibar-Copal" may refer to the time when there was a sultanate of Zanzibar that covered the island as well as a large part of present Tanzania.
According to Evers (1907), the Zanzibar-Copal is only two- to three thousand years old. It is too young to be of interest for calibration purposes, and since there is no way to check Skalski's record, it seems better to dismiss its relevance.

Detrending and denoising of impedance cytometry data
Creators: name: Cao, Xinnan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Bioelectrical signals such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and flow cytometry signals are often affected by both low-frequency and high frequency perturbations during data acquisition. It is necessary to remove these interferences from the acquired data so that the pertinent information needed from these signals can be obtained.    Methods for detrending and denoising in ECG are well established, but in the context of impedance cytometry data, there lacks a body of literature available that provides guidance as to a robust methodology for processing the data.     For the first time in the context of impedance cytometry, to the best of our knowledge, in this work we systematically studied and compared the performance of different algorithms for detrending and denoising, and developed a procedure to analyze impedance cytometry data with minimal error. This work can serve as guidance to select the optimal algorithm based on the following parameters: Standard Deviation, Correlation Coefficient, Power Spectral Density (PSD), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Root Mean Square Difference (RMSD).    The approaches discussed conventional filtering techniques such as: Butterworth Filtering, Chebyshev Filtering, as well as the thresholding techniques in the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The procedure of selecting the mother wavelet basis functions and the four different thresholding methods are discussed and compared. The performance of the optimized algorithm is compared with the pClamp10 commercially available cytometry analysis software resulting in 19.2% improvement in amplitude preservation, 18.4% improvement in area preservation and more than 50% improvement in the peak-search error rate.

Topics in compositional, seasonal and spatial-temporal time series
Creators: name: Chang, Kun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation studies several topics in time series modeling. The discussion on seasonal time series, compositional time series and spatial-temporal time series brings new insight to the existing   methods. Innovative methodologies are developed for modeling and forecasting purposes. These topics are not isolated but to naturally support each other under rigorous discussions.  A variety of real examples are presented from economics, social science and geoscience areas.        The second chapter introduces a new class of seasonal time  series models, treating the seasonality as a stable composition  through time. With the objective of forecasting the sum of the next  $ell$ observations, the concept of rolling season is adopted and a  structure of rolling conditional distribution is formulated under the compositional time series framework. The  probabilistic properties, the estimation and prediction, and the forecasting performance of the model are studied and demonstrated with simulation and real examples.    The third chapter focuses on the discussion of compositional time series theories in multivariate models. It provides an idea to the modeling procedure of the multivariate time series that has sum constraints at each time. It also proposes a joint MLE method for threshold vector-error correction models. This chapter interprets the methodologies with an real example of the U.S. household consumption expenditures data. Threshold cointegration effects are analyzed on the U.S. real GDP growth rate. The estimation of TVECM is compared by the current two-step estimation method and the proposed joint MLE approach.     Sensor allocation problem is studied in Chapter 4 under spatial-temporal models in Gaussian random fields. Given observations from existing sensors, the problem is solved by minimizing the integrated conditional variance based on different forecasting purposes. In this chapter, the time series are measured at different locations with both spatial and time series correlations. The spatial-temporal covariance structure is extensively discussed under both separable and nonseparable cases. The model is finally applied to the ozone level measurements in Harris County, Texas.
Effect of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) on cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus and hippocampal-dependent learning and memory
Creators: name: Chang, Qing
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is known as a T cell superantigen, with well-characterized neurobiological and endocrine effects. We have quantified the survival of new cells, labeled with BrdU, in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus after SEA or Saline injection into male C57BL/6 mice. A reduction of BrdU+ cells was found on Day 11 after SEA treatment, but not on Day 4. This suggests that BrdU+ cell retention was reduced by T cell activation.  To determine if this decline in BrdU+ cells might predict deficits in spatial learning, a second experiment was conducted in which the effect of SEA treatment on spatial navigation learning in the Morris water maze (MWM) and the water-based Radial Arm Maze (wRAM) was investigated. Male C57BL/6J mice were given 5 ug SEA (N=7) or Saline (N=7) and then subjected to MWM hidden platform training. Two weeks after the final MWM training, mice were subjected to 8 days of water-based radial arm maze (wRAM) training. The results showed no major SEA effect on initial MWM learning. Further, wRAM learning was not affected by SEA-treated mice, but interfered with the interaction of SEA treatment and MWM pre-exposure. This may be due to a reduction in cognitive flexibility.
The recirculation plot
Creators: name: Chappell, Patrick R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation explores the many second-order economies of nineteenth-century Britain—salvage, recycling, black markets, and imperial plunder—and their relationship to the history of plot design in the Victorian novel. Paradoxically, in the era that saw the rise of the industrially produced commodity, stolen and recycled objects were topics of enormous fascination in economic and sociological writing, particularly for the ways in which the materials circulated, transformed, and resurfaced. This project argues that novelists from the 1830s to 1860s, including Edward Bulwer, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Wilkie Collins, drew on these second-order economies to construct increasingly intricate and sensational plots based on materials’ circular mobility and patterns of narrative reappearance. The recirculation plot thus contributed to English fiction’s development from the loosely plotted, improvisational forms of the Romantic era to the tightly planned novels of the Victorian era. Along the way, these object-based strategies elicited voluble debates about realism, plausibility, and the reading experience of fiction.      This project establishes plot as a medium for seeing the relationship between the material history of reusability and the formal history of narrative design. It thus demonstrates how thing theory and narratology are mutually illuminating methodologies. Moreover, it uses archival research to challenge the critical tendency to see recuperation as tainted by the stigma of filth.      Chapter 1 argues the Newgate crime novels of the 1830s exploited melodramatic coincidence to imagine urban interconnectedness via the convergence of stolen property and its dispossessed owner. Chapter 2 claims the overpopulated character economy of Dickens’s Bleak House mimics how rag and paper rubbish undergoes covert shifts in value and visibility across time, a phenomenon that sustains the mechanics of surprise and suspense in his multiplot novels more generally. Chapter 3 demonstrates Gaskell’s ambivalence toward the sensationalism of recirculation mechanics; in Mary Barton she employs the device with skepticism, while in Cranford she converts recurrence into an accumulative structure attuned to the rhythms of domestic handicraft and recycling. Chapter 4 argues that in The Moonstone Collins reformats diamond narratives of global dispossession and reappearance within the narratological extravagance specific to the sensation novel genre of the 1860s.

Depository: USNM; originally it was in the private collection R.D. Lacoe, Pittston, Pennsylvania, USA (holotype, 2100), but the owner died soon after the American Civil War.
Published figures: Scudder (1889: Pl. LII, Figs 14, 15); Scudder's Fig. 15 was copied by Emmel et al. (1992: Fig. 1 /7).
Wings reasonably well preserved, seen from above, forewings largely overlapping hindwings, apical parts of forewing missing; head, thorax and abdomen present; markings hardly present at all, a few light spots along costa on forewing and hindwing. Cells of forewing and hindwing open (or at least, discocellular veins too weak to have left traces in the fossil). This places the fossil in Nymphalidae. Open cells are found in many Nymphalinae (in which subfamily Emmel et al. 1992, placed the fossil), as well as in some members of other subfamilies (Ackery et al. 1999). Radial formula 1, 2+(3+(4+5)), with M1 originating halfway between R1 and R2. Usually R1 and R2 are free in Nymphalinae. A stalked R2, however, (by basad movement of M1) occurs in several groups, and an arrangement as in the fossil is common in what was called the “Melitaeen-Gruppe” by Schatz & Röber (1892). There is a remarkable similarity between the venation of Jupiteria charon, the Palaearctic genus Melitaea and the Mexican species Chlosyne ehrenbergii (Hübner), which by the way is unspotted. How far, however, the similarity is due to synapomorphy cannot be decided at the moment, but for the time being it appears safe to assign the fossil to the Nymphalinae. Scudder (1889) could not find much similarity with any extant species and he supposed the fossil to be most closely related to the fossil species Lithopsyche styx Scudder and Prodryas persephone Scudder. I see, however, no phylogenetic evidence for this opinion. If used as a calibration point it should be at the root of the Nymphalinae.

Btbd11 interacts with PLZF and modulates the effector functions of various innate lymphocyte populations
Creators: name: Chavkin, Andrew R.

description: The BTB-ZF transcriptional regulator, promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF), is known to control the innate phenotype and effector functions of NKT cells and γδ T cells. The unstudied protein, Btbd11, has been shown to be transcriptionally controlled by PLZF and directly interact with PLZF via the shared BTB protein-interaction domain. In order to determine if Btbd11 plays a role in modulating the function of PLZF, we have generated a mouse exhibiting induced overexpression of Btbd11 in all T cells. In conjunction with existing mice ectopically expressing PLZF in all T cells, we investigated the impact that these factors had upon the phenotype and function of T cells. Concurrently, we utilized another mouse line with reduced Btbd11 expression (Btbd11 GT mice) to determine the role that Btbd11 alone plays in controlling various characteristics of T cell populations. Significantly, mice with overexpression of both Btbd11 and PLZF (dTG mice) exhibited ~11% of CD8+ T cells capable of producing IL-17a upon in vitro activation. This population of IL-17a producing CD8+ T cells is almost non-existent in wild type mice and represents a significant proinflammatory phenotype. Total liver γδ T cell populations were also found to be dependent on levels of Btbd11, as dTG mice had a two-fold expansion while Btbd11 GT mice showed a three-fold contraction of γδ T cells compared to wild type. In vivo studies of Concanavalin A induced liver damage determined that Btbd11 GT mice exhibited a four-fold reduction versus wild type in serum ALT activity, an enzyme released via liver damage. Overexpression of Btbd11 and PLZF results in the expansion of proinflammatory effector cells while reduced expression of Btbd11 results in a protection from innate T cell-mediated liver damage, indicating the correlation between Btbd11 and the characteristic proinflammatory phenotype seen in these innate T cell subsets. We conclude that Btbd11 and PLZF interact differently with each other and other co-factors depending upon their setting within different immune cells. These studies indicate a potential role for Btbd11 in modifying the phenotype and effector function of various T cell subsets by regulating PLZF’s ability to exert transcriptional control.

description: Cisplatin (CDDP) induced cleavages of caspase-3 and PARP. Esophageal carcinoma cells with the wild-type p53 genotype were treated with CDDP as shown and the cell lysate was probed with the antibody as indicated, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (can also detect cleaved PARP, #9542), and cleaved caspase-3 (can also detect caspase-3, #9661) (Cell Signaling). Actin was used as a loading control and the blot was the same as that in Fig.Â 2. Data of untreated YES-6 cells were taken in the same blot as other data (YES-6 cells treated with CDDP), but the sample was loaded next to that of YES-6 cells treated with CDDP for 48Â h. The data untreated YES-6 cells were therefore moved to before the data of YEST-6 cells treated with CDDP for 24Â h (PDF 118 kb)
