description: To understand the spatial and temporal evolution of temperature and moisture during microwave drying of molded pulp products (MPP), a three-dimensional transient model that couples electromagnetic, heat and mass transfer was developed. The coefficient of determination between the simulated and measured moisture content was greater than 0.963, indicating good qualitative agreement existed. This work analyzed the distributions of the electric field, temperature field, and moisture field. Furthermore, the effects of varying microwave power densities on MPP drying were numerically investigated. The results showed that the drying time was reduced by 25.0–37.5% and the average temperature increased by 4.8–7.3 °C as the microwave power density enhanced from 9 to 15 W/g. The simulated spatial field distributions revealed the presence of two distinct hot spots on the surface of MPP, characterized by higher electric field strength and elevated temperatures, with the right hot spot being more pronounced. The transient distributions indicated that heat migrated from the hot spots to the edges of the MPP, while the distribution of moisture content presented an inverse relationship to the temperature field. Additionally, it was observed that the maximum temperature reached 107 °C at 15 W/g, which could potentially result in material cracking or deformation. To address this issue, a variable power drying scheme that could reduce the drying time by 10% was proposed. The developed model provides a comprehensive understanding of the coupled heat and moisture transfer occurring in the MPP microwave drying process.

description: The solar-assisted heat pump drying system is an effective method for reducing carbon emissions. In this study, a solar-assisted heat pump drying system using the natural working fluid CO2 is proposed and its thermodynamic characteristics, as well as life cycle energy consumption and environmental performance, are analyzed. The results indicate that the highest coefficient of performance (COP) and optimal discharge pressure is achieved when two pinch points appear in the gas cooler of the transcritical CO2 heat pump drying system. The solar-assisted transcritical CO2 drying system annually consumes 59.99 tons of standard coal, which is 35.48% lower than the steam-assisted drying system. Comparing the solar-assisted transcritical CO2 drying system to the transcritical CO2 drying system and the steam-assisted transcritical CO2 drying system, it is found that the former has the lowest life cycle primary energy consumption and carbon emissions, which are 2688.816 tce and 5876.02 t, respectively. Furthermore, compared to the steam-assisted transcritical CO2 drying system, the solar-assisted transcritical CO2 drying system, when using natural gas as boiler fuel, reduces emissions of gaseous pollutants (SO2 and NOx) and solid pollutants (PM2.5 and PM10) by 28.29%–36.09%. This paper provides theoretical guidance for the development and operation of high-efficiency and low-emission high-temperature heat pump drying systems.

description: Enzymes are proteins that are Nature’s catalysts and have evolved to catalyze some of the most energy-demanding reactions in nature. Their evolutionary advantage has allowed them to employ mechanisms that are much more efficient and inexpensive than current industrial processes. Because of this, understanding how enzymes work is critical in the development of better catalytic processes. In the work reported here, I will focus on studies on enzymatic mechanisms using computational chemistry tools, demonstrating how different aspects of the complexity imposed by the enzyme can be studied at different scales. The importance of these three systems lies in their ability to facilitate reactions that are critical in energy applications: [FeFe]-Hydrogenase is an enzyme that reversibly and efficiently interconverts protons (H+) and electrons (e−) to molecular hydrogen (H2); Methyl Coenzyme-M Reduc- tase (MCR) is the enzyme responsible for methane formation and oxidation; the Rh-LmrR artificial enzyme is able to hydrogenate CO2 to formate (HCOO−). This work highlights several different aspects of how the protein environment in enzymes beyond the active site modulates different aspects of the catalytic mechanisms. In MCR, the protein environment assists in the positioning of substrates in the active site pocket, revealing the possibility of an alternative mechanism that eliminates the need for the rearrangement of substrates. In [FeFe]-Hydrogenase the protein environment modulates the catalytic bias by stabilizing the desired electronic states of the cofactors and influences activity by changing the ability of the protein transport network to move protons via a thermodynamic gradient. Finally, in the artificial enzyme Rh-LmrR we reveal how the dynamics of both the scaffold and the solvent can influence activity by modulating the electronic environment in the active site, the delivery of the CO2 substrate, and changing the access to water. Collectively, these studies demonstrated the importance of carefully considering the role of the broader protein and solvent environment and the need to incorporate some of these features as transferable design principles in the development of synthetic catalysts for energy applications.

description: Since the late 20th century, sneakers have become the epitome of status and fashion. Often seen as emblematic of innovative styles and technological advances, sneakers have become synonymous with that idea of innovation. One recent technological development has been the integration of 3D printing (3DP) within the sneaker industry. Not only has 3DP allowed sneaker companies to prototype sneaker components more efficiently, reduce logistical costs, and produce less waste during manufacturing, but 3DP could also provide consumers with sneakers tailored to their unique specifications. However, while 3DP has already been used to manufacture components for mass-produced sneakers, these specific polymer materials developed for footwear and their respective printing processes are often considered confidential or proprietary property of the sneaker companies who developed them. As a result, very little information about 3DP technologies within the sneaker industry is publicly available, specifically regarding the polymeric materials best suited for sneakers, how polymers might be optimally structured and printed, and how they perform compared to traditional sneaker materials.
description: This thesis tested several polymeric materials' printability and mechanical properties to determine which materials could be utilized to engineer an entirely 3D-printed sneaker prototype that could theoretically perform similarly to traditionally manufactured sneakers. This research used fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA) 3DP methods to compare the properties of thermoplastic and thermoset samples. The polymers tested FDM filaments, including polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and the Ninjaflex thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments, and SLA resins, including the ANYCUBIC basic UV curing resin and the Formlabs polyurethane (PU) Rigid 650 resin. Tensile, abrasion, impact, flexural, and compression tests were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of these 3DP polymers and study their suitability for the different parts of a 3DP sneaker, including the upper, midsole, and outsole. Test results showed that the Ninjaflex was the most suitable material for every component of the prototype sneaker and outperformed the other polymers concerning tensile elasticity, tensile strain, abrasion resistance, impact strength, and compressive elasticity. In addition, the Ninjaflex was also found to have similar compressive resiliency compared to the midsole foams used in Nike running shoes. A 3DP sneaker was designed utilizing test data to determine optimal print configurations for the sneaker's upper, midsole, and outsole, and was successfully printed using the Ninjaflex filament.

description: In this dissertation I argue that all cases of genocide are initiated and subsequently guided by what I call the ‘language of genocide’. I argue that the origins of the behavioral act that is genocide are found within the use of carefully formulated linguistic patterns. Moreover, the central tenet that drives this project is that language patterns precede behavioral patterns. This language, I contend, can be found in and across the eight unique stages of genocide identified within this project. Additionally, this project shows that there are specific language patterns that act as inflection and subsequent transitional cues between each of the eight stages. Using the cases of the Holocaust, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Bosnian Genocide respectively, I show that there are specific wording and phrasing patterns used within each case that when stripped of context-specific identifiers are almost identical in nature. Using a linguistic and cross-content case study methodology I show how each case provides direct evidence to my claim that there is a ‘language’ used by perpetrators that transcends any one case of genocide. This evidence is taken from elite delivered-speeches, official governmental policies, and media publications before and during each genocide case. This language in turn, due to its repetitive nature, allows for predictability in these patterns to be found and as such allows for a ‘language template’ to be created. This template can then be used to both foretell and better understand current and future genocide cases. The highlighting of this language and subsequent formation of this predictability template aids the larger genocide studies literature by illuminating the role language, and specifically stage-to-stage transitional language, plays in the functionality of genocidal violence. It is the documenting of this transitional language, I contend, that provides the greatest advancement of the genocide studies discipline.

description: This report is an output of the Economics of Resilient Infrastructure (ERI) research project, funded by the New Zealand government to develop a new spatial decision support system for infrastructure disruption in New Zealand. The system, referred to as ‘Measuring the Economics of Resilient Infrastructure Tool’ (MERIT), will be used to support government and infrastructure provider decision-making by enhancing their understanding of the economic impacts of infrastructure outages. MERIT consists of a suite of interlinked modules incorporating spatial features of a region and its infrastructure networks, economic activity, business behaviours, interdependencies, and policy options. These modules can be shocked using infrastructure disruption scenarios (e.g., volcanic eruption, significant single infrastructure outage) to understand the economic impacts of such disruptions. This report describes the proposed method for integrating business behaviour into the larger MERIT model. The business behaviours module for MERIT has been developed using empirical data gathered following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes. The Canterbury earthquake business behaviours data has provided an effective platform for developing quantitative and qualitative business behaviour models. The ERI Business Behaviours team has developed a business behaviours causal framework to describe the effect of disruptions on an organisation’s operability or their ability to meet demand. The framework links external infrastructure and non-infrastructure impacts to the degree of disruption experienced by individual organisations. In turn, the framework shows that an organisation’s operability is affected by that experienced disruption; along with other organisational factors that can improve operability levels in the face of disruption, including organisational demographics, pre-event mitigation, post-event adaptation, and resilience.

Microbubble Generation By Piezoelectric Transducers For Biomedical Studies
Creators: name: Alkhazal, Mohammed
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Bubbles induced by blast waves or shocks are speculated as the major cause of damage in biological cells in mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Microbubble collapse was found to induce noticeable cell detachment from the cell substrate, changes in focal adhesion, and biomechanics. To better understand the bubble mechanism, a system needs to be constructed which allows clear differentiation on the impact of bubbles from that of shocks. Such a generator needs to be low profile in order to place under a microscope. A piezoelectric transducer system was designed to meet the need. The system uses either a flat or a spherical focusing piezoelectric transducer to produce microbubbles in a cuvette loaded with cell-culture medium. Several transducer configurations were designed and tested. The first design has a transducer that faces upward in a water chamber, so that the pressure waves can reach a coverslip placed above the transducer. To allow for the light passage, the transducer was drilled at the center and a hole was created. This configuration was found not easy to use as it created water jets at the water surface when water level was shallow. A second configuration where the transducer was placed on the side of the cuvette with its axis lining horizontally was then designed. A cover slip was placed on the top of the cuvette. The impact of the waves to the cells was minimized as the cover slip was parallel to the direction of the wave. Only bubbles from the medium could reach the cover slip and interact with cells. The effect of bubbles, therefore, can be separated that of pressure waves. The bubbles collected on a cover slip range in size from 10 μm to 100 μm in radius, but the dominant size is 10-30 μm.

description: Because of the omnipresent nature of water in biomass conversions, unraveling its impact on various biomass upgrading reactions is imperative. However, a molecular level understanding on water effect on Lewis and Brønsted sites is still lacking. In this dissertation, a combination of in situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), in situ diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy-temperature programmed desorption DRIFTS-TPD, kinetic investigations, and DFT simulations is applied to provide insight into water effect on alkanol dehydration and carboxylic acid ketonization. On Lewis acid catalysts, introducing H2O vapor in gaseous feed decreases the carboxylic acid ketonization reaction rate by increasing the intrinsic activation barrier. H2O associates with the adsorbed acetate or acetic acid intermediates leading to less reactive bridging bidentate carboxylates. Furthermore, it is discovered that water inhibition on alkanol dehydration displays a clear facet-dependence. Inhibition on TiO2(001) is about 3 times more severe than that on TiO2(101). On TiO2(001), water inhibits isopropoxide dehydration via formation of a stable isopropoxide-H2O complex with lower reactivity while water only forms weak hydrogen bond with molecular IPA adsorbed on TiO2(101) surfaces. On Brønsted acid catalysts ZSM-5, adding cyclohexanol does not change the interaction of water with Brønsted acid sites (BAS) due to formation of hydronium ions evidencing that cyclohexanol occupies the space between the hydronium ions in the micropores while decalin is displaced from micropores due to weak interaction with BAS. The current study provides a foundation for a deeper comprehension of water's impact on Lewis and Brønsted acid catalysts in alkanol dehydration and carboxylic acid ketonization in scientific applications. Additionally, it shed lights on the design of catalysts for practical applications that take into account the presence of water, with the aim of improving catalytic systems.

description: Objective. Bipolar disorders and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are commonly comorbid conditions that may share many overlapping symptoms associated with emotional and behavioral dysregulation. In recent years, statistical methods for network analysis have gained traction in psychometric research. According to proponents of network analysis, this statistical method allows for the evaluation of psychological conditions as emergent conditions in which each symptom both influences and is influenced by other symptoms in the network. In comorbidity research, network analysis may help to illustrate which symptoms serve as “bridges” between disorders. Method. This study used archival data of clinical symptoms to elucidate the structure of and possible shared elements between these two disorders. Networks of symptoms of depression, hypo/mania, and BPD were created for three nested samples: Sample 1) At Least Subclinical, Sample 2) Single Diagnosis or Comorbid, and Sample 3) Comorbid.
description: Results. Samples 1 and 2 produced the most similar networks. Sample 3 was less strongly associated with Sample 1 and Sample 2, although the correlations were still statistically significant. The nodes with the greatest strength within the network for all three samples were all depression symptoms: MDE Sleep, Concentration, and MDE Low Mood. Community analysis largely reconstructed the original symptom scales. Two pairs of items: MDE Suicide and BPD Suicide and hypo/mania Risky Behavior and BPD Impulsive Behavior appear to serve as bridge items between the scales.
description: Conclusions. The results indicate that depression, hypo/mania, and BPD are separable, albeit related constructs that may be bridged by shared symptoms such as suicidality and impulsive or risky behavior. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

description: This dissertation links three manuscripts that explore the impact of language interventions with the addition of speech generating devices (SGD) on the natural speech production of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and complex communication needs. The first manuscript provides a systematic and quality review of the literature related to the effect of SGD interventions on vocalizations of children aged 3-13 years old who have ASD and limited expressive language. The results indicate that SGD-infused interventions combined with evidence-based practices can lead to increases in children’s vocal language and social communication utterances. Optimal speech outcomes are associated with some of the participants’ prelinguistic predictors as measured before the interventions. The second manuscript is an empirical study using single subject research design to investigate the language outcomes of four children aged 3-6 years old who progressed in parent-mediated interventions with the aid of SGD after their parents received caregiver training and coaching on naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions with the involvement of SGD. The results of the study showed a positive functional relation between parents’ implementation fidelity of intervention strategies and children’s speech gains. The third manuscript provides practical recommendations to stakeholders who work with ASD-affected children who have severe speech impairment while they implement naturalistic interventions to promote children’s expressive vocabulary. These stakeholders could be children’s caregivers and clinicians who actively participate in the care and interventions of children with ASD and limited functional speech.

description: Diese Arbeit beinhaltet einen kurzen Ausschnitt unterschiedlicher Theorien zu Angst. Sie beschäftigt sich außerdem mit den Rollenbildern von KindergartenpädagogInnen und VolksschullehrerInnen in Oberösterreich und Wien. Im Rahmen der empirischen Untersuchung konnten zwei unterschiedliche Ergebnisse herausgefunden werden. In der Beantwortung der Fragebögen gaben die befragten PädagogInnen an, "nicht" oder "eher nicht" von Sorgen oder Ängsten im Zusammenhang zur Schuleingangsphase betroffen zu sein. Da diese Ergebnisse nicht glaubwürdig erschienen wurde eine qualitative Untersuchung zusätzlich durchgeführt, wobei die PädagogInnen sehr wohl Sorgen und Ängste angaben. Detaillierter wurde der Einfluss des Arbeitsfeldes (Stadt oder Land) in Bezug auf Ängste in der Schuleingangsphase betrachtet. Es stellte sich heraus, dass tendenziell PädagogInnen am Land eher angaben von Sorgen oder Ängsten betroffen zu sein. Unterschiede zwischen KindergartenpädagogInnen und LehrerInnen zeigten sich in den Angstausprägungen. KindergartenpädagogInnen geben Ängste eher in den Bereichen "eigene Angst" und "Burn-out" an, LehrerInnen führen Sorgen im Bereich der allg. pädagogischen Fähigkeiten an. Sowohl bei den befragten KindergartenpädagogInnen als auch bei den LehreInnen ist ein Zusammenhang zwischen "Angst vor Erwartungen anderer" und Ängsten sichtbar. Kritik von Seiten der Eltern betrifft beide Berufsgruppen in gleichem Maße. Zusammenfassend kann jedoch angenommen werden, dass die befragten Personen nach sozialer Erwünschtheit den Fragenbogen beantwortet haben.

Mit Gunter Gebauer und Christoph Wulf (1998) wird hier die Vorgehensweise der Pädagogik als Stillstellung des Körpers, Disziplinierung und einem Zwang zum Verzicht auf Spontanität und Expressivität kritisiert. Mit der qualitativen Studie über das Verhältnis von Studentinnen und Studenten die Kampfkunst praktizieren zu ihrem Körper und der damit verbundenen Selbstdarstellung, wird genaueres Wissen zu dieser Beziehung bereitgestellt und damit zum Verständnis der Qualität des Verhältnisses zum Körper beigetragen. Die These dabei ist: Sich selbst über seinen Körper und nicht nur über das Denken eine Form geben zu können ist wesentlich für eine selbstbestimmten Lebensführung.
description: This paper will discuss the quality of the relation to the body and how it can be improved in terms of a self-determined living. Following Gunter Gebauer and Christoph Wulf (1998) the current educational approach will be criticized as a disciplinary mechanism and constraint to repress spontaneity and bodily expression. The qualitative research about the relation of students which practice martial arts to their body and the related self-display will provide more precise knowledege about this relation and will contribute to the understanding of the quality of the relation to the body. The thesis of this paper is: It is essential for a self-determined living to be able to give oneself a shape not only by means of mind, but also ones body.
Does genome size increase with water depth in marine fishes?

description: A growing body of research suggests that genome size in animals can be affected by ecological factors. Half a century ago, Ebeling et al. (1971; EEA71) proposed that genome size increases with depth in some teleost fish groups and discussed a number of biological mechanisms that may explain this pattern (e.g., passive accumulation, adaptive acclimation). Using phylogenetic comparative approaches, we revisit this hypothesis based on genome size and ecological data from up to 708 marine fish species in combination with a set of large-scale phylogenies, including a newly inferred tree. We also conduct modelling approaches of trait evolution and implement a variety of regression analyses to assess the relationship between genome size and depth. Our reanalysis of the EEA71 dataset shows a weak association between these variables, but the overall pattern in their data is driven by a single clade. While analyses based on the new dataset resulted in positive correlations, providing some evidence that genome size evolves adaptively as a function of depth, only a fraction of individual subclade analyses yielded statistically significant results. By contrast, negative correlations are rare and largely non-significant. All in all, we find modest evidence for an increase in genome size along the depth axis in marine fishes. We discuss some mechanistic explanations for the observed trends.

description: During the first years of the Third Reich, German Methodists were stuck between two authorities, the Nazi state that governed their country and the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) in the United States which oversaw their religious beliefs. To uphold their existence in Germany and missionary ties with the church in the United States, it was crucial for the German Methodists to maintain relations with both. As they rose to power, the Nazis worked furiously to bring all aspects of German society, including churches under their control. The Nazification of the church threatened both traditional ecclesiastical authority and Christian doctrine. The Nazis’ consolidation efforts jeopardized not only the official state churches but also the independent German Free Churches. The German MEC was considered a Free Church because it was separate from the official German state churches and had foreign origins. While the German Methodists feared that their Anglo-American ties would cause them to be viewed as traitors, the Nazis viewed their foreign origins as a means to spread cultural propaganda to influence American public opinion. While the MEC was relatively small in Germany, it was a major denomination in the United States with global connections. Between 1933 and 1939, Methodist Bishops John L. Nuelsen and F. H. Otto Melle made multiple visits to the United States and England as representatives of not only German Methodism but also of the Nazi government. These visits illustrate the German Methodists’ increasing cooperation with the Third Reich while attempting to maintain German-American Methodist relations. This thesis examines the German Methodist Bishops’ international visits, to analyze the reasons behind the Methodist Church’s collaboration with the Nazi state, changes in their relationship, and the degree to which German Methodists cooperated.

description: Despite its simplicity, low cost, and ability to process a wide range of materials, direct-ink-writing (DIW) is an additive manufacturing process with low resolution and accuracy, in the multiple hundred microns to millimeter range. One of the main sources for this issue is the difficulty with accurately controlling ink flow rate and the rapid drying of ink at smaller size scales. Our approach to mitigating drying and associated challenges it incurs on the printing process involves mounting a nozzle concentrically to the printing nozzle which supplies aerosolized-water-carrying air to the printing microenvironment. Towards addressing the flow rate control limitations, this work elucidates complex ink flow mechanisms that renders flow rate control difficult and then explores printing implementations to increase flow rate accuracy in direct-ink-writing at the micro scale using closed-loop control algorithms and ink settling detection. To this end, a DIW system utilizing hybrid pressure and velocity-controlled extrusion is used to obtain pressure and flow rate data which is used to inform each consecutive iteration of flow control. Key results show that spreading of the prints increases with increasing humidity condition, micro and macro roughness is lower at mid-range humidity conditions, and that volume flow rate decreases as humidity condition increases. Transient response of piston velocity-controlled extrusion significantly slows down with decreasing nozzle diameter, wall slip increases with decreasing nozzle diameter and the constant slip velocity assumption no longer holds as nozzle size decreases below a certain diameter. It was shown that the associated flow rate predictions under predicted flow rates due to lack of wall-slip consideration, particularly for smaller nozzle sizes. Lastly, an iterative pressure-controlled DIW implementation was explored to address the accuracy issues for micro-DIW. Our results indicated significant improvement in the transient response and flow rate accuracy for nozzle diameters as small as 100μm using this approach compared to both of the conventional pressure and velocity control approaches.

Transcriptional regulation of APOBEC3A in breast cancer
Creators: name: Dennis, Madeline
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2025

description: Our DNA accumulates damage on a daily basis from a number of endogenous and exogenous sources. If this damage is left unrepaired it causes mutations in our genomes that can contribute to the progression of cancer. One such source of endogenous mutations is the family of APOBEC cytidine deaminases. The mutation signature caused by APOBEC proteins is abundant in many cancer types, prompting a need to understand the how and why these proteins contribute to cancer progression.
description: The research presented here focuses on understanding the mechanisms that drive expression of APOBEC3A (A3A) in breast cancer. We examine mechanisms of regulation that are induced with drug treatments as well as ones that contribute to basal expression in cancer cells. Initially we believed that A3A, like other A3 proteins, would be degraded via the ubiquitin proteasome system. Testing various proteasome inhibitors led us to discovering a highly conserved increase in A3A transcript when preventing general proteasome degradation in breast cancer. We confirmed that this increase in transcript leads to an abundance of catalytically active A3A that is capable of causing damage to the cells. Conversely, we were interested in understanding the factors responsible for activating transcription of A3A at the basal level in breast cancer. We uncovered potential transcription factors by assessing clustering analysis of co-expressed genes as well as by identifying transcription factor binding sites within conserved ATAC-seq peaks from cell line and tumor data. With these results we hope to contribute to a better understood model for how A3A is transcriptionally activated in breast cancer in order to potentially modulate expression of A3A for therapeutic purposes.

title: Untersuchung der Wirkung eines Extraktes aus Dianthus versicolor auf die Kontraktilität des Uterus sowie Herz und glattmuskulären Organen
Creators: name: Weisz-Pecher, Birgit Ingrid
Year: 2008

description: Die Droge Dianthus versicolor, eine mongolische Steppenpflanze, aus der Familie der Caryophylloide, stammt aus dem Hubsgul aimag im Norden der Mongolei und wird in der traditionellen mongolischen Medizin (TMM) in Form von Teezubereitungen oder pulverisiert eingesetzt. Dabei zeigt sich eine kontraktile Wirkung auf den Uterus. In Kombination mit anderen Pflanzenarten wird Dianthus versicolor bei Lebererkrankungen eingesetzt. Untersucht wurde die kontraktile Wirkung dieses Extraktes, hergestellt mit der OWE-Methode, an isolierten glattmuskulären Meerschweinchenorganen und am Herz mithilfe isometrischer Kontraktionsmessungen. Weiters wurde geprüft, welche Auswirkung der Extrakt auf die isolierten Muskelzellen des Uterus und der Arteria pulmonalis zeigt. Die durch die Anwendungen in der TMM zu erwartenden Wirkungen des untersuchten Extraktes aus Dianthus versicolor konnten in dieser Arbeit bestätigt werden.
description: The drug Dianthus versicolor is a Mongolian steppe plant from the family of Caryophylloids and is native in the Hubsgul aimag in the north of Mongolia. This plant is used in the traditional Mongolian Medicine in the form of tea or pulverized. It shows a contractile effect on the uterus. Dianthus versicolor is utilized in liver diseases in combination with other plants. The contractile effect of this extract, produced by the method of OWE, was investigated in isolated smooth and heart muscle preparations of the guinea pig. Force of contraction was measured isometrically. Furthermore, the effect on the intracellular calcium concentration of isolated muscle cells of the uterus and the pulmonary artery was studied by fluorescence imaging. The anticipated effects of the investigated extract from Dianthus versicolor could be confirmed in this work.
