description: Bacterial colonization of the cystic fibrosis (CF) airways is polymicrobial and several emerging microorganisms with a potential pathogenic role may be present. We report a case of three siblings with CF colonized by Pandoraea over a period of 10 years. Isolates identified as various non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli from sputum cultures were successfully re-identified as Pandoraea vervacti (P. vervacti) by a combination of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization – time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and 16S rRNA and gyrB sequencing. Furthermore, the transcript expression of type I and type III interferon (IFN) genes was examined in the cells of respiratory samples from these patients and compared with a Pandoraea-negative group of CF individuals. Increased respiratory levels of IFNβ, IFNε and IL28R1 mRNA were found in the three siblings. Our results demonstrate that P. vervacti can chronically colonize CF patients and alter IFN response, likely contributing to immunopathogenesis and disease progression.
title: Peculiar Capitalism: Fast-Food Franchising and Entrepreneurship in Postwar America
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Peculiar Capitalism: Fast-Food Franchising and Entrepreneurship in Postwar America This work uses business history and food history to tell the story of a peculiar form of capitalism, in which entrepreneurs find themselves inhabiting a liminal world. Franchising exists as a hybrid form on a continuum between independent businesses and corporations. Throughout the postwar era, fast food franchising was at the center of legal, political, and social debates. This study covers the period from the 1953 creation of the Small Business Administration to the passing of the 1978 FTC Franchise Rule. It relies on franchise brochures, industry magazines, company records, and government documents. This work begins with suburban growth during the 1950s, when the baby boom, new highways, and processed foods helped to usher in the drive-up fast food restaurant era. Emerging companies turned to the sale of business format franchises to meet their need for new capital. In so doing, they focused on recruiting, training, and servicing their local outlets. Despite adopting systems, technology, and management science, many failed, and even well-known companies like Kentucky Fried Chicken could not expand to new business lines. Attention to these failures challenges existing historiography that emphasizes successes, such as McDonald's.This study argues that by the 1960s, the numerous failed enterprises show an industry beset by risk while defending its declining reputation. The franchise industry was complicit in overselling the promise of success. Many potential entrepreneurs fell victim to fraud, while others encountered a powerful industry propaganda machine. Some firms, such as Carvel Ice Cream and Dunkin' Donuts, did succeed. The barriers for aspiring entrepreneurs, whether franchisors or franchisees, are much more significant than previously documented. This applied to celebrities, working people, and those with prior food service experience. People of color faced prejudice and systemic barriers. Government programs became mired in red tape or politicized. Concurrently, consumers attacked fast food as unhealthy and opposed new outlets. This work recovers the inherent tensions during franchising's growth phase to show a fragile and contingent business model. Given the number of closures, the needed infrastructure, and changing consumer tastes, franchising's reality deviated from its popular image.

description: Butylatedhydroxytoluene (BHT) and 4-methoxyphenol (4-MP) are phenol derivatives that are generally known for their antioxidant properties and depigmenting activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the isotopic abundance in BHT and 4-MP using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). BHT and 4-MP samples were divided into two parts: control and treated. The control group remained untreated while the treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Control and treated samples were characterized using GC-MS. The GC-MS data revealed that the isotopic abundance ratio of 13C/12C or 2H/1H(PM+1)/PM and 18O/16O (PM+2)/PM increased significantly in treated BHT and 4-MP (where PM- primary molecule, PM+1- isotopic molecule either for 13C or 2H and PM+2 is the isotopic molecule for 18O). The isotopic abundance ratio of (PM+1)/PM in the treated BHT and 4-MP was increased up to 181.27% and 380.73% respectively as compared to their respective control. Moreover, the isotopic abundance ratio of (PM+2)/PM in the treated BHT and 4-MP increased up to 185.99% and 355.33% respectively. GC-MS data suggests that the biofield treatment significantly increased the isotopic abundance of 2H, 13C and 18O in the treated BHT and 4-MP as compared to the control.

title: Thermal Effects on Y2O3:Eu3+ for Fiber Optic Temperature Sensing

description: Fiber optic methods have gained acceptance in the past several years as non­ intrusive optical techniques of measuring environmental variables, particularly under hostile conditions. Fiber optic temperature sensors are required for many applications which have a large operating range. One way to implement this sensor is to introduce rare earth-doped materials into a fiber showing temperature-dependent optical emission characteristics. The thermal effects on optical emission characteristics of Y2O3:Eu3+ were studied. The thermal broadening and temperature dependence of the lifetime (τ) of the 611.4 nm emission due to the 5D0 ➔ 7F2 transition were studied in detail in the range of 20 to 850° C. τ was found to be independent of temperature from 20 to 600° C, whereas line broadening depends on temperature in this range. From 600 to 850° C, τ was found to decrease with temperature. This was shown to be due to non-radiative multiphonon emission processes. This result can be applied towards high temperature sensing using an optical fiber containing Y2O3:Eu3+ powder.
title: Animation Rurale: Education for Rural Development
Creators: name: Moulton, Jeanne Marie
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: rural development, Animation Rurale, Senegal

description: The first function of this study is to provide such a descriptive introduction to the Animation Rurale concept and experiment. The concept itself is succinctly summarized in Chapter II, which can serve the reader as a single introduction to how the system is theoretically intended to work. The historical context in which it evolved and the two principal African examples of the program in practice are presented in Chapters III, IV, and V. And for the student of this field, there is a critical review of the literature in the Appendix. As the French are fond of noting, in practice there tends to be the paradox of "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose." Indeed, if the change intended by Animation Rurale involves standing educational business-as-usual on its head, it is important to know why in fact so much of the business continues as usual. An understanding of the reasons for this may help future planners to solve problems that need solution if the paradox is to be avoided. For instance, how can a bottom-up program orientation be developed in a setting where initiative and control traditionally come from the top-down, where a new power base from below can be seen as threatening to the political and administrative order? How can a participatory, learning-by-doing pedagogy be encouraged in a situation where program personnel and participants are accustomed to an educational climate where knowledge is seen as being academic and coming from above, and where the most substantive rewards are received for traditional behavior or certificate-oriented learning? Or how can educational programming of this type be integrated with other regional socio-economic development activities when the timing of action and locus of authority differ among various administrative sectors? The second function of this work, then is to analyze the factors affecting the performance of Animation Rurale. In her conclusion the author evaluates the assumptions underlying this approach, incorporating both the critiques of others and observations of her own derived from the study. In addition, she suggests some of the pre-conditions that would seem necessary for such a strategy to be effective. This is one in a series of publications by members of the Center for International Education who have been working on problems related to nonformal education. We wish to share it with other colleagues in the field in the belief that it provides access for the English reader to an important but neglected example of an educational strategy for rural development. It is presented in the hope that such laudable efforts to bring education closer to the head and hands of the learner can be strengthened by constructive analysis.

INDUCTION OF CELLULASE IN HIGH SOLIDS CULTIVATION OF TRICHODERMA REESEI FOR ENHANCED ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF LIGNOCELLULOSE

Publisher: name: University of Kentucky
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Bioresource and Agricultural Engineering

description: This project aimed investigated cellulase in-situ production for large-scale on-farm production of lignocellulosic biofuel. Cellulase activity and glucose released by T. reesei with corn stover and wheat bran as co-substrates for solid state cultivation (SSC) were examined. Co-cultivation has previously increased T. reesei cellulase, but corn stover and wheat bran have not been co-cultivated (Dhillon, Oberoi et al. 2011). This work compared cellulase activity and glucose concentration of corn stover co-cultivated with 0-40% wheat bran in high solids. Samples with at least 20% wheat bran exhibited increased cellulase activity. However, the average glucose concentration without wheat bran was 3.29 g/L compared to 16.7 g/L with wheat bran.  Glucose released by T. reesei on pretreated corn stover with 0-40% wheat bran was compared at the optimal temperatures for fungal growth and for cellulase activity after SSC. Previous research has rarely used cellulase from SSC to hydrolyze lignocellulose. Following SSC of T. reesei at 30°C for seven days, samples were warmed to 50°C for five days. Glucose concentration increased to 12.1 and 32.7 g/L for samples with and without wheat bran. This strategy could reduce lignocellulosic fuel production costs by eliminating need for commercial cellulase and is promising for efficient cellulose hydrolysis.

description: Definitions of revolution have strongly influenced theorization about it. We argue here that revolution is a highly variable phenomenon. Rigid definitions of revolution do not allow for theorizing which explains this variability. Revolution can occur to various degrees along various dimensions. These include the political, international, economic, cultural, ethnic, and gender dimensions. Revolutions do not necessarily affect all these dimensions equally. Revolutions that have led to great change along some of these dimensions have also led to little or no change along others. We further argue that an understanding of revolution requires an understanding of what maintains social order.

description: We develop a formula for the optimal size of a joint savings association between individuals who share the same financial goal and who can save towards that goal at the same rate. Our motivating example and the core of our analysis is a Rotating Savings and Credit Association (ROSCA). We measure the efficiency of a ROSCA by the expected waiting time that it takes a participant to attain his goal when no participant reneges on his commitment to contribute to the common fund, and when each of the participants receives (once) the funds needed to meet his goal. Given this criterion, we define the optimal size of a ROSCA as the number of participants that results in the minimal expected waiting time. We show that an optimal size of a ROSCA exists, that it is limited, and that it is a multiple of the number of time periods that it takes an individual to save on his own. Somewhat surprisingly, we find that when treated as a function of the size of a ROSCA, the expected waiting time is not monotonic when the size builds up from an individual saving on his own to the optimal size. A similar result obtains when we study cases where a ROSCA is enlarged beyond the optimal size. Our findings help explain the limited size as well as other features of ROSCAs observed in developing countries all over the world.

description: Triphenylmethane is a synthetic dye used as antimicrobial agent and for the chemical visualization in thin layer chromatography of higher fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and aliphatic amines. The present study was an attempt to investigate the impact of biofield treatment on physical, thermal and spectroscopical charecteristics of triphenylmethane. The study was performed in two groups i.e., control and treatment. The treatment group subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. The control and treated groups of triphenylmethane samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analyzer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). XRD study revealed decreases in average crystallite size (14.22%) of treated triphenylmethane as compared to control sample. Surface area analysis showed a slight increase (0.42%) in surface area of treated sample with respect to control. DSC thermogram of treated triphenylmethane showed the slight increase in melting point and latent heat of fusion with respect to control. TGA analysis of control triphenylmethane showed weight loss by 45.99% and treated sample showed weight loss by 64.40%. The Tmax was also decreased by 7.17% in treated sample as compared to control. The FT-IR and UV spectroscopic result showed the similar pattern of spectra. The GC-MS analysis suggested a significant decrease in carbon isotopic abundance (expressed in δ13C, ‰) in treated sample (about 380 to 524‰) as compared to control. Based on these results, it is found that biofield treatment has the impact on physical, thermal and carbon isotopic abundance of treated triphenylmethane with respect to control.

description: While civic technologies for public issues and services such as 311 systems are widely adopted in many U.S. cities, the impact of the emerging civic technologies and their data-level dynamics are unclear. Because the provision patterns of civic issues to technological systems are different across neighborhoods and populations, it is difficult for city officials to understand whether the provided data itself reflects civic issues. Also, the disparities in the information provided to civic technologies in different neighborhoods may exacerbate the existing inequality. To understand how civic data is created and how people's use of civic technologies plays a role as an intermediary process in shaping community performances, we take an information deserts perspective in studying 311 systems. The concept of information deserts is informed by a material understanding of local information landscapes, making it possible to distinguish local information's structural features from its social-construction process. Based on this theoretical lens, we suggest new opportunities for civic technology and data research.

description: Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) offer a promising solution to the issue of secure key generation on chips for cryptographic applications. For a given challenge, PUFs generate a response, unique to the device based on its inherent manufacturing variations, which is why PUFs are the biometrics of Integrated Circuits (ICs). Ring-Oscillator based PUFs (RO-PUFs) are a type of Silicon-based PUF that exploit the delay in interconnects and components of the design to generate unique keys. Configurable RO-PUFs (CRO-PUFs) reduce the number of ROs needed to generate a key of a given length compared to the RO-PUFs. This thesis is an extensive survey of the history of PUFs – implementations and applications, and the evaluation, post-processing and attack methodologies. A CRO-PUF exploiting the delay of latches in the Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) of Spartan6 FPGAs was implemented on 20 Nexys3 boards. The statistical properties of the obtained responses indicated a Steadiness of 94.6% and a Uniformity of 46.7% respectively. A novel proposal of using Hidden-Markov Models for post-processing of PUF responses for increased reliability is being made as a result of cross-disciplinary study of biometrics with hardware cryptography.

description: Araripichthys axelrodi, new species
 DIAGNOSIS: Araripichthys with dorsally directed premaxillary ascending process representing less than one­third total length of premaxilla: maxilla lacks rodlike anterior region, with weak articular surface anteriorly; supramaxillae not expanded vertically, anterior one shorter than the posterior; parietal posterior margin slightly embayed; epioccipital not forming distinct process.
HOLOTYPE: P­907 MBLUZ, University of Zulia, Paleontology Section Collection, Maracaibo, Venezuela (figs. 2, 3). Individual lacking tail, preserved length approx. 23 cm, Machiques Member (Aptian), Apon Formation, Rosarito Quarry, near Villa del Rosario, Venezuela, collected by J. M. Moody.
DERIVATION OF NAME: After Herbert Axelrod, in recognition of his generous support of research in paleoichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History.
 STRATIGRAPHIC NOTE: The holotype of Araripichthys axelrodi came from a narrow bed in the Machiques Member of the Apon Formation that produces many Deshayesites ammonites, supporting its Aptian age. The Machiques Member is considered to be Aptian, even possibly lower Aptian, but the Apon Formation spans the Aptian­Albian, and some authors speculate that its base may even be of Barremian age (discussed in Renz, 1982).
 MORPHOLOGICAL VARIATION IN ARARIPICHTHYS
 Araripichthys is a specialized teleost whose most evident external morphological features include a deep and laterally compressed body lacking pelvic fins (e.g., A. axelrodi, fig. 2; A. castilhoi, fig. 4). The genus is also characterized by elaborate and presumably highly protrusible mouthparts that closely resemble those of many acanthomorph teleosts (see figs. 3, 5, 6). As the genus is no longer monotypic, some comments are included below regarding the extent of morphological variation encompassed by the genus and reflected in the species­level diagnoses presented above. A revised familylevel diagnosis is presented above. Since the family presently contains a single genus, diagnoses are provisionally regarded as coextensive.
 Many features described in the type species of Araripichthys are also present in the other two nominal species and are retained Fig. 2.

title: Past-Oriented v. Future-Oriented Reappraisal for Thermal Pain Modulation
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Cognitive reappraisal
subject: Pain management
subject: Emotion regulation
subject: Acute thermal pain

description: Cognitive reappraisal is considered an effective emotion regulation technique for reducing pain. Current categorizations of cognitive reappraisal are generally divided into self-focused versus situation-focused. Recent research, however, suggests a novel approach to categorizing reappraisal: past-oriented versus future-oriented (Vlasenko, 2021). In the current work, I provide an overview of existing knowledge about cognitive reappraisal in the context of pain and conduct a study to examine the possible temporal aspects of reappraisal for thermal pain modulation. Based on previous findings that anticipation is more evocative than retrospection (Van Boven & Ashworth, 2007), I hypothesized that future-oriented reappraisal would have a greater impact on self-reported pain ratings during painful heat stimulation. The results, however, demonstrated that there was no significant difference between pain ratings of past-oriented and future-oriented reappraisal conditions. These unexpected findings suggest that temporal aspects of cognitive reappraisal may not play a role in regulating emotions during acute thermal pain stimulation. Alternatively, these results might be attributed to limitations in the experimental design. Future research should consider the vividness and emotional valence of the past memories and future imagined events, as well as the participants’ familiarity with the type of pain elicited by the stimulus and their anxiety levels surrounding the anticipation of pain.
title: Perceptions of Motherhood: Ideologies, Expectations and Experiences of Older Mothers in the Suburbs of North Arlington County, Virginia
Creators: name: Munson, Anne Marie
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Motherhood
subject: Identity
subject: Mothering ideology
subject: Older mothers
subject: Mother communities
subject: Mothering practices

description: This thesis describes perceptions of women in the suburbs of North Arlington County, Virginia, who chose to become a mother after the age of 35. It discusses how women who are older mothers view themselves and their identities in the context of the larger community of mothers in a white, upper-class community in North Arlington County, Virginia. This research explores the notion that socioeconomic indicators such as age, education, financial security, and social class structure a woman’s positioning in the social space in which the cultivation of specific mothering communities take place. While similarities in mothering practices exist, the concept of age as a defining role in the formation of distinctive motherhood groups within the realm of common ground is observed and explored. It is often within these communities that mothers develop a sense of maternal identity—one that is influenced by socially-driven norms and values as well as individual and personalized practice. Unique characteristics of older motherhood are considered to understand the ways in which practice is shaped. These include career choices, financial security, planning for retirement and college funding simultaneously, caring for elderly or aging parents.

subject: SHOALS

description: Varied needs have encouraged development of different technologies over time to meet those needs inclusive of technologies to map land, oceans and shorelines. Over the last decade significant effort has been put into fusing the area that joins the land maps to ocean benthic (ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake) maps so there is a continuous topographic view. There are several methods used to define the topography of underwater regions such as ship based single and multi-beam echo-sounder approaches with the latter providing complete high resolution coverage of the sea floor. (Committee on National Needs for Coastal Mapping and Charting, 2004). The goal of this thesis is to assess a group of common tools for mapping underwater topography, also known as bathymetry, for use in fusing the land topography to the sea floor topography. Data will be collected from web resources and unclassified geospatial databases for this research and key technical areas and weaknesses will be assessed to draw conclusions. The result of this analytic research identifies a recommended tool for shallow water bathymetry collection and provides recommended applications to support wave renewable energies.
