Hoop strain in dental implants and the influence of different cantilever lengths, an in vitro pilot study
Creators: name: Baaj, Rakan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the hoop stress around dental implant in a circumferential and vertical pattern and to compare stress values to different cantilever length on a cross arch implant supported framework.  Material and Methods: A milled cross-arch metal framework supported by 4 implants imbedded in acrylic in addition to one separated implant in the middle. Five T-strain gauge rosette distributed on five dental implants recorded data as they were loaded by 50 and 100 N forces using MTS 810 loading machine. The loading sites were anterior implant, posterior implant, 0.5 Anterior Posterior ,(AP spread) ratio cantilever, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ratio cantilever. Each one of those 7 sites were loaded 10 times for each of the 50 and 100 N generating 360 different reading for each of those groups. Three-way ANOVA was conducted (twice, one for vertical and one for hoop strain) for analysis of strain with factors of: Magnitude of force, extension of cantilever and position of the implants followed by Post hoc Tukey comparison between the groups.  Results: The anterior implant is under tension in vertical direction when forces are applied to the cantilever on the contralateral side. The most posterior implant is under less tension in the vertical direction but shows as much strains in the circumferential direction. Post hoc analysis shows cantilever over 1.0 ratio causes same high amount of stress to the system.   Conclusion: A ratio up of 0.5 AP spread for the cantilever is statistically acceptable. However, A ratio up to 1.0 AP spread for the cantilever exerts no more tension to the system than the load on the implants.

description: Food packaging plays a crucial part, yet the use of petroleum-based plastics has led to environmental concerns. Researchers have been exploring sustainable alternatives using CNMs. This dissertation includes three parts, each focusing on using CNF or CNC for packaging applications. In the first project, CNF/CMC coated MP trays were achieved via over-molding. Mechanical, Gurley air porosity and water vapor transmission rate testing showed that the coating improved the overall performance. Coated samples showed the highest oil and grease resistance level. Fresh fruit testing showed that the coating helps elongate the shelf life of fruits. In the second project study, to overcome the problem of relatively poor water barrier performance of CNF/CMC coatings in high humidity conditions, coatings were chemically modified by crosslinking with PAE and incorporated with Cloisite-Na+ nano-clay and PVA. The chemical modification enhanced both water and oxygen barrier performance and reduced Cobb value. The formulated CNF-coated MP trays maintained the same level of oil and grease resistance. Mechanical testing showed reduced Young’s modulus, similar UTS, and higher strain at break for formulated CNF-coated tray samples compared to the un-crosslinked samples. In the third project, a transparent tri-layer PLA-CNC/PVA-PLA film was successfully fabricated using blade coating and lamination. The CNC/PVA coating (~ 6μm) showed a high degree of CNC alignment and significantly enhanced the gas barrier properties. Furthermore, these laminates were formed into bags where a fruit storage test showed that the PLA-CNC/PVA-PLA could elongate the shelf life of fresh apple slices based on weight loss and enzymatic browning.

description: Statistical analysis of high-frequency stock market order transaction data is conducted to understand order transition dynamics. We employ a first-order time-homogeneous discrete-time Markov chain model to the sequence of orders of stocks belonging to six different sectors during the USA-China trade war of 2018. The Markov property of the order sequence is validated by the Chi-square test. We estimate the transition probability matrix of the sequence using maximum likelihood estimation. From the heat-map of these matrices, we found the presence of active participation by different types of traders during high volatility days. On such days, these traders place limit orders primarily with the intention of deleting the majority of them to influence the market. These findings are supported by high stationary distribution and low mean recurrence values of add and delete orders. Further, we found similar spectral gap and entropy rate values, which indicates that similar trading strategies are employed on both high and low volatility days during the trade war. Among all the sectors considered in this study, we observe that there is a recurring pattern of full execution orders in Finance & Banking sector. This shows that the banking stocks are resilient during the trade war. Hence, this study may be useful in understanding stock market order dynamics and devise trading strategies accordingly on high and low volatility days during extreme macroeconomic events.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Background: Although cancer patients frequently use natural products (NP) to complement conventional oncology treatments and often do not disclose NP use to their healthcare providers, NP use initiated after diagnosis and the biopsychosocial determinants of NP use and disclosure have not been investigated. Purpose: The study purpose was to determine prevalence, patterns, and disclosure of NP use by cancer patients, and apply the Self-Regulation Model (SRM) to understand these behaviors. Methods: Analysis of a sub-set of the data from a cross-sectional survey of 1,226 cancer patients at a NCI–designated comprehensive cancer center within a 12-month period. Descriptive statistics were used for patterns of NP use and disclosure.  Survey results were assigned to categories within the SRM and sequential bivariate correlations were performed through the model's dual-arm structure. Results: Among patients with a cancer diagnosis (64.6% female, 87% white, 72.8% married, 75.3% age 50+), 74.1% reported current use of 1 or more NP and 28.2% (n=346) indicated they initiated NP use after being diagnosed with cancer.

description: As the United States healthcare system transitions to a pay for performance model in response to increasing costs and utilization, assessing quality of care has come to the forefront. Venous thromboembolisms (VTE), which include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a key measure of quality of hospital care and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and cost in hospitalized patients.   Traditional ways of measuring quality and identifying adverse events such as VTE using administrative data are convenient but lack accuracy.  Manual review of clinical records is widely considered the gold standard but resource intensive.  Consequently, this study sought to determine the accuracy of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning classifiers in identifying VTE from free text data.   This study used radiology reports performed within 30 days of surgery for hospital patients sampled from 2011 through 2014 as part of the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP).  Though records for this sample were previously reviewed and VTE cases identified, a total of 909 ultrasound reports and 1,837 computed tomography (CT) angiogram reports were again manually reviewed to identify DVT/PE within each report and served as the gold standard.  The Naïve Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), C4.5 decision tree, and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers were trained on 70% of the total preprocessed reports and performance was assessed on the remaining 30%.    DVTs were identified in 16.8% of all ultrasound reports and PEs were identified in 5.0% of all CT angiogram reports.  SVM yielded the best results in classifying both DVT and PE, with precision of 91.3%, recall of 95.5% and F-measure of 93.3% for DVT classification and precision of 93.1%, recall of 87.1% and F-measure of 90.0% for PE classification.  In conclusion, NLP along with statistical machine learning classifiers can accurately identify VTE from narrative radiology reports.

description: Research shows that high sodium consumption is positively correlated with hypertension. However, little is known about variations on the impact of high sodium consumption on hypertension among a variety of adult American subpopulations. This study investigated the  impact of sodium on hypertension in a variety of  adult America subpopulations  by conducting an analysis of  Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 24-hour dietary recall data from 2005-2014. Participants ages 20 years and above were used in the study.  Analysis of the data included applying weighted factors to the selected sample to account for sampling bias and allow for accurate comparisons between samples and population estimates. Data analysis was done using SAS version 9.4 Software Package.  There was a decrease in the two year period 2007-2008 of sodium consumption and a increase in hypertension rate. There was no significant change in sodium consumption from 2005-2014. Fifty four percent of the people consumed more than the daily recommended sodium intake by the American dietary guidelines. Results showed that African Americans consumed more sodium than any other race in America. Also, African Americans have the highest hypertensive rate in the study. Highly educated individuals consume more than the recommended amount of sodium (2300mg) compared to those with less than high school education. On the contrary, the results further shows that less educated participants had higher blood pressure than the more educated individuals. It was found that, low income earners consumed more sodium but middle income earners had highest hypertension. Male consume more sodium than their females counter parts and has higher hypertension than females.   The results shows that 98% of the participants had isolated systolic hypertension and as people age, their blood pressure becomes higher.  The results further shows participants with higher BMI consume more sodium and had higher blood pressure. Also, the more you age the higher your blood pressure.   The study highlighted areas that can be targeted for designing health intervention programs that will be targeted to specific subgroups of the American population.
Analyses of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) inpatients in the United States
Creators: name: Policelli, Christopher
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rapidly progressive immune mediated lung disorder that leads to death in the majority of patients, regardless of treatment, within 3-5 years of diagnosis. 1-3 Pulmonary fibrosis is often the final common pathway of many known causes of interstitial lung disease, such as sarcoidosis, silicosis, drug reactions, infections and collagen vascular diseases.  The overall goal of the project is to identify the factors and costs associated with IPF patients in terms of mortality, length of stay and costs in different types of clinical settings across the United States.     We used data rom the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) for calendar years 2007-2012 to perform a series of analyses to identify any factors and costs associated with IPF patients, particularly those pertaining to mortality, length of stay (LOS), and costs across the various clinical settings in the US. A series of parametric and non-parametric methods were used. Parametric methods included linear regression models, correlation analysis using Pearson correlation coefficients, paired and unpaired t-tests, and one-way ANOVA. A series of non-parametric methods were also used including: Wilcoxon rank sum tests, Mann-Whitney tests, Spearman correlations, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Descriptive analyses were employed to compute sample mean, median, standard deviation, and interquartile ranges for study variables. Finally, binary outcomes and categorical variables were examined using the following: logistic regression models, chi-square tests, contingency coefficients, and McNemar’s test.     We found a mean expenditure per IPF patient of $68,925 (standard deviation = $16,4049), with a median of $28,257. We found the distribution of total charges to be significantly different from the normal distribution (p<0.001). Further investigation revealed a maximum charge of $4,162,849, which is approximately six times as high as the 99th percentile total charge of  and 147 times as high as the median. These results indicate that the distribution of total costs are skewed heavily by a relative few patients with extremely high bills.      LOS also varied wildly with the mean stay being 7.84 days with a standard deviation of 13.60 days. LOS ranged from zero days to 1158 days, which corroborates our conclusion about the distribution of total costs. The patient who stayed 1158 days was hospitalized for 858 days more than any other patient. The next highest LOS values were 300 days, 250 days, 196 days, and 160 days, which further plays to our notion of the extremely expensive few. LOS varied in a statistically significant way between white and black patients (p<0.05).    Only 11.2% of all patients in the data set died during the study period (11.2% of whites, 9.5% of blacks, 11.2% Hispanics, 12.2% of Asian/Pacific Islander, 13.0% of Native Americans). Finally, only 12% of all IPF patients passed away, while slightly more (13.8%) of all IIP patients died during the study period.
Lobe based risk analysis of discharges and in-hospital mortality of lung cancer patients

description: Lung cancer occurrences are more likely as compared to any other type of cancer in the world with very high mortality rate. Based on the past research, smoking and family history of smoking are the most common causes of lung cancer by per age, race and gender. Lung cancer is the second deadliest cancer in this world after prostate cancer and breast cancer.   In this research, we have used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample Data from the year 2003   to 2007 to analyze current and predict future trend of lung cancer. Towards the analyses,   we have included all the anatomical sub categories of lung to determine, which lobe of   lung is having considerably higher risk of catching cancer.    Our anatomical analysis concludes the risk occurrence of lung cancer follows an order from high to low: Upper lobe, Lower lobe, Other-parts of the lung, Main bronchus, and   Middle lobe. We have also examined the association of each category of lung with race across the gender. The overall lung cancer analysis indicates, White American and Black have the higher risk of getting lung cancer as compared with other races. Further analysis   of individual lobe of lung denotes, among the all races, White American is more   susceptible to each lobe of lung except other-parts of lung.    The odds ratio analysis for individual anatomical site concludes white male and female   [odds ratio of all sub category- male/female 1.03 to 1.08] are equally susceptible to each   lobe of lung. The black females [odds ratio of Lower lobe-male/female 1.08] are highly   associated with lower lobe of lung cancer as compared with black males. Whereas    Hispanic, Asian and Native American females are more associated with middle lobe lung cancer as compared with Hispanic, Asian and native American males [odds ratio for   middle lobe -  male/female 0.89 to 0.95].   Based on the past research, smoking is the primary cause of the death in the lung cancer by   age, race and gender. In this research, we have used National Impatient Sample and census   population for the state CA, Fl, TX, NY, IL, RI, VA, SC, and WI to determine the   association of geographical variation with the risk factors by population. We have   confirmed that incidence of lung cancer cases in CA (bigger state by population) is lower   than RI and VA (smaller state by population). In other word, we confirmed our   hypothesis that higher population, need not have to have higher incidence rate (In this   research, incidence rate refers to discharged), but other factors like race, gender, pollution,   exposure to chemical factor also play an important role to measure susceptibility of the   occurrences.   This research study was limited to the National Inpatient database across the United State.   Lung cancer patients were extracted base on principle diagnosis of the lung cancer   symptoms.

Phonological chain shifts during acquisition: Evidence for lexicon optimization
Creators: name: Ettlinger, Marc
Publisher: name: GLSA, University of Massachusetts
Year: 2008

description: The phonological chain shifts exhibited by children during language development are challenging for theories of phonology because they reflect an opacity – a generalization that is not surface true. Based on diary studies of the phonological development of several children, I propose an account for chain shifts of this sort by suggesting that they reflect multiple stages of lexicon optimization (Prince & Smolensky 1993/2004).This is similar to the 'inertia' effects demonstrated in Menn (1971) where older words are resistant to recent changes in phonological capabilities. Evidence for inertia in the present cases of opacity is provided by comparing the frequency and age of words reflecting one of the two relevant generalizations that are in an opaque relationship. I show that there is no point at which both generalizations are active and so any apparent opacity is not synchronic in nature. Using lexicon optimization to formalize this challenges the notion of using adult phonological representations as the underlying representations for children. Indeed, production data suggests that children go through multiple stages of lexicon optimization prior to reaching the final adult grammar.

Perovskite alkaline earth metal titanates are capable of splitting water and producing hydrogen due to their electrical, optical, catalytic properties. Calcium titanate is one of the promising semiconductors because of its wide band gap and its high stability against photo-corrosion in acidic and wet environments.  This research focuses on the investigation of the photocatalytic activity for hydrogen generation using metallic silver loaded on calcium titanate in the presence of a sacrificial electronic donor, glycerol, and under UV and visible light. Nanocrystalline CaTiO3 showed photocatalytic activity under UV light due to charge transfer from the semiconductor to the metal, and this process was proved using photoluminescence spectroscopy. The characterizations of nanocrystalline calcium titanate were conducted using Raman, UV-vis diffuse reflectance, and photoluminescence spectroscopy.   In this research, we have also investigated the capability of metallic silver deposited on mesoporous calcium titanate to decompose water and produce hydrogen under UV light without a sacrificial organic donor. Further, by using emission and synchronous photoluminescence spectroscopy, we studied the midgap states within the forbidden gap in the semiconductor, and the effect of humidification on these midgap states.

Non Anoplodesmus luctuosus— Attems, 1898: 348 (M); nec Attems, 1914: 206 (M); nec Attems, 1936: 208 (M); nec Attems, 1937: 105 (M).

Record from Myanmar: South Tenasserim (Pocock 1895). Based on at least two syntypes, one male and one female (Pocock 1895), apparently in the London Museum, because Jeekel (1965a) found no relevant material of this species in the Genoa Museum.
Remark. Attems (1898, 1914, 1936, 1937) synonymized Anoplodesmus striolatus with the Sri Lankan A. luctuosus (Peters 1864), but Jeekel (1965a) resurrected both to full-species status. Here we follow this opinion.

description: In this paper we introduce two different models to study the group dynamic of birds on wire and taking off the ground. To begin with, the first model is agent-based and encompasses attraction-repulsion forces and topological interactions. The model is firstly analyzed and then simulated to study the main properties. Then, we compare the achieved results with data from pictures taken in New Jersey. Two different image elaboration protocols allowed establishing a good agreement with the model. Moreover, we showed potential handiness by analyzing group organization features and dynamics of groups with landing new birds. To further complete the analysis we also introduced a birth-death process to include the modeling of landing and departing birds. Secondly, the second model inspired by videos of birds taking flight was created with options for two different methods that are metric and topological interactions. Furthermore, the model returns a graph displaying the number of birds in the air vs. the time that is very similar to the observed data that was analyzes via ImageJ. Comparing the topological and metric interaction, the topological method is less regular and has a longer front length. Lastly, many trends were observed when comparing the front velocities under various constraints.

description: This dissertation explores the lives of Black queer youth (ages 14-23) by attending to the quotidian experiences related to navigating race, gender, and sexuality normativity through queer cultural practices and performances shaped by life in an American city. Black young people, especially those living in urban and inner-city spaces, face structural and everyday forms of violence. Currently lacking are examinations of the effects of systemic and interpersonal violence on Black queer youth, particularly within the context of urban space. To investigate such questions, this project utilizes nearly two years of ethnographic fieldwork at the Meridian Center for LGBTQ Youth in a city on the East Coast of the United States. I use the concepts orientation and disorientation to explore the entanglements of embodiment, spatiality, and affectivity in the lives of Black queer youth. I braid queer theory together with queer of color critique, urban ethnography, and childhood and youth studies to elaborate and destabilize the current imaginings of Black queer youth in three key areas: the linkages between Black respectability politics and homonormativity that pivot on the dominant construction of youth; the gender performances of Black trans and genderqueer youth that are coded and recoded by affects associated with street sociality; and “the virtual street” that emerges primarily from the mediation of physical spaces and location-aware digital technology. By exploring the creativity of Black queer youth in the present—without remedying their past on behalf of an imagined, “better” future—I investigate how the youths’ gender and sexual performances reveal queer forms of self-care, survival, and collectivity in the midst of racial and sexual tumult inhering in normative investments in personhood and citizenship.

Demanding difference

description: This cultural critique employs the philosophical concept of potentiality to interrogate the relationship between economic and ontological processes of production - that is, how does our material infrastructure both arise from and shape our nature as socially-imbricated individuals? The reigning neoliberal ideology presents capitalist relations as the final formula for human happiness, suggesting that material surpluses guarantee the fulfillment of our needs and desires. But this elides the possibility of any “ontological surplus” accruing to human communities, the sense of increased degrees of freedom to reorganize social life. It is obvious that extreme material deprivation confines an individual or community’s efforts to the pursuit of necessities, but why, in an age of vast material excess, do we continue to put our time and talents primarily into work-related activities instead of self-work? I argue that the answer hinges on a narrow understanding of potentiality (dynamis). This key concept derives from Aristotle, as do those of economics (oikonomia) and the political life (bios politikos). Putting these ancient ideas in dialogue with events that exemplify our present and discourses that seek to define it, I am to develop a discourse that could effectively subvert the dominant “post-political” neoliberal paradigm and actualize creative resistance to our present conditions. To think this project through from theory to practice, I draw from a set continental philosophers beginning with Marx, Heidegger and Arendt, then progressing to Jacques Lacan, Slavoj Zizek and  Catherine Malabou. Each of them has applied philosophy to social conditions, not to develop a “political philosophy” in the old prescriptive and normative sense, but a sort of template for improvisational praxis rooted in conceptual revaluation of current conditions. I attempt to apply this template to our own situation and expand it into a program of discursive action geared toward breaking the ideological deadlock enabling the constant reproduction of an ontologically limiting social order.
Light magic
Creators: name: Callahan, Katherine Emily
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Light Magic is a novel about suburban Jersey girls Chloe and Zarin, who have been faithful friends since meeting as 4th grade outsiders. Even into their twenties, the dorky pals remain bonded by their shared avoidance of alcohol and sex, passion for prayer, and obsession with Max Hazel, a wildly popular series of books about a boarding school for witches. The fact that Zarin is the Muslim daughter of Pakistani immigrants and that Chloe is a white evangelical Christian has only made them closer in a world where the young and devout seem few and far-between. Chloe and Zarin both choose to attend grad school at Roving University, and the two could not make better roommates. But when Zarin finds love shortly after Chloe loses it, it opens the door for both of them to questions about sexuality, prejudice, feminism, and their own friendship. Frustrated by her virginity, Chloe tries to find purpose in founding the Interfaith Max Hazel Alliance, and Zarin, busy with raising money for an Islamic girls’ school and embarking on a secret romance, finds little time to help with the new project. It soon becomes unclear whether the friends will have to go their separate ways as their respective faiths change (for better or worse), or if they can help each other magic their way into womanhood as they’d always planned.

description: This collection of short fiction explores themes of loneliness, loss of love, and self-worth in a strange, often humorous fashion. The characters face challenges that present themselves in ways that exist only within imagined worlds: a woman’s heart leaves her body after a bad breakup, a captive entertainer is let out of her glass cage, a group of children become violent after they discover their new friend can perform shape-shifting. Together, the stories try to capture what it means to move through a transformative period in one’s life.
Motivations for North-South local government cooperation

description: This dissertation explores the motivations of local governments in developed countries to engage in cooperative relationships with their less developed counterparts and examines how such motivations change as a function of national and local institutional environments. The dissertation further examines the meaning and determinants of effectiveness in municipal cooperation from the perspective of partners in developed countries. The research for this dissertation took a qualitative comparative approach, focusing on the twinning of sister cities as a form of municipal international cooperation and using two countries, the United States and the Netherlands, and multiple cities within each country as research sites and cases for comparison. Documents and transcribed in-depth interviews with representatives of local governments, local government associations, and town twinning organizations served as the primary data sources for this study. The analysis of the data showed that a range of pragmatic, altruistic, and other types of motivations, which vary across municipalities, guide cooperation between local governments in developed and developing countries and that complex relationships exist between contextual factors and motivations for cooperation. The analysis further showed that definitions of effectiveness vary across municipalities and that multiple factors, internal and external to municipal partnerships, determine the effectiveness of cooperation. The findings support the implementation of a variety of strategies to stimulate cooperation between municipalities in developed and developing countries.
