Year: 2017

description: Although cross-cultural moral psychology is a rapidly growing research field in the past decades, little is known with respect to how human morality is affected by the process of globalization. The present research attempts to fill this gap by establishing a conceptual and empirical link between global orientations and moral foundations across three cultural populations. American domestic college students, Chinese domestic college students, and Chinese international college students completed a set of measures that assessed their global orientations (multicultural acquisition and ethnic protection), moral foundations, political affiliations, openness to experience, and demographic information. Results indicated that 1) multicultural acquisition was positively associated with participants’ endorsements of individualizing and binding values while ethnic protection was positively linked only to binding values; 2) The link between ethnic protection and individualizing foundations was moderated by culture; 3) sociocultural adaptation partially mediated the relationship between ethnic protection and binding values. These findings advance our understanding of the interrelations between individuals’ social psychological responses to globalization and their explicit value endorsements.

description: Many biological systems providing very high heat and mass transfer rates in organs such as brain, liver, and lungs use microchannels and minichannels. A few years back transport in small channels gained ground due to the high heat transfer rates. Since then a lot of research has been done on heat transfer in microchannels both experimentally and numerically. The analysis done minichannels is mainly experimental and very less literature exists on numerical analysis done on heat transfer in minichannels. Some work that exists, considers short channels with aspect ratios in the range of 0.3 to 0.5. Moreover, the work done prior to this work considered considerably lower imposed heat fluxes. The experimental work done on minichannel heat sinks also considers short sinks with heat flux in the order of 40kW/m2. Hence, in this study the focus is on minichannels with an aspect ratio of the order of 0.01 and with very high heat flux imposed, of the order of 700 kW/m2. The analysis is done for three as well as two-dimensional channels. Three different channels of height 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm are analyzed and the results of the analysis are studied. The pressure drop across the heat sink is also reported. The temperature drop across the heat sink is reported and found to be minimum for the channel with height 3 mm for a three-dimensional channel.

description: Modern cities are alive with sensors, including but not limited to smartphones, cameras, vehicles, and wearable devices. Contrary to popular belief that the evolution of smart cities needs an overhaul of advanced sensors across our cities, this dissertation presents techniques that enable existing sensing devices to expand their role and innovate novel smart city context. We undertake the task of supporting a diverse set of applications, ranging from large-scale video analytics to pedestrian safety, on a heterogeneous assembly of sensors.     Motivated by rising pedestrian fatalities in our cities, we investigate the performance of GPS-based approaches for determining pedestrian risk in dense urban environments. To address its inadequacy, we introduce a novel outdoor surface profiling technique using shoe-mounted inertial sensors for location classification based on surface gradient profile and step patterns. We seek to detect transitions from sidewalk locations to in-street locations, to enable applications such as alerting texting pedestrians when they step into the street. We achieve transition detection rates higher than 95% even in the intricate midtown Manhattan pedestrian environment.     Further, we extend this ability to mobile cameras, and explore how well commercial-off-the-shelf  smartphone cameras can learn texture to distinguish among paving materials in uncontrolled outdoor urban settings. We devise an approach that performs material recognition on the pedestrian's walking surface, with more than 85% accuracy, to identify safe and unsafe walking locations.     Finally, to advance the state of video analytics in smart cities, we build a virtualization system for public cameras to support multiple applications simultaneously. We introduce the concept of mobility-awareness, which enables these otherwise static cameras to pan, tilt, and zoom to capture events of interest. This improves immensely upon the current state-of-the-art wherein traffic operators examine live video streams. Experiments with a live camera setup demonstrate that we can support multiple applications simultaneously, capturing up to 80% more events of interest in a wide scene, compared to a fixed view camera.     This work is based on the insight that relative positions and motion patterns are crucial for generating safety context and meaningful analytics at traffic intersections. Furthermore, we demonstrate the efficacy of our approaches by building end-to-end systems, calling for exhaustive real-world data collection in complex metropolitan environments like New York, London, and Paris; supported by rigorous testing and scalability of the solution.
Role of GRM1 in exosome production and melanoma metastasis

description: Exosomes are naturally occurring membrane-bound nanovesicles generated constitutively and released by various cell types, and often in higher quantities by tumor cells. Exosomes have been postulated to facilitate communication between the primary tumor and its local microenvironment, supporting cell invasion and other early events in metastasis. A neuronal receptor, metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (GRM1), when ectopically expressed in melanocytes, induces in vitro melanocytic transformation and spontaneous malignant melanoma development in vivo in a transgenic mouse model. Earlier studies showed that genetic modulation in GRM1 expression by siRNA or disruption of GRM1-mediated glutamate signaling by pharmacological inhibitors interfering with downstream effectors resulting in a decrease in both cell proliferation in vitro and tumor progression in vivo, suggesting that active GRM1 may participate in melanomagenesis in our system. The overall goal of this dissertation is to determine whether the presence and activation of GRM1 plays a role in exosome formation, and subsequent tumor development and progression. To test this, the first aim utilized in vitro cultured cells in which GRM1 expression and function were modulated by pharmacological and genetic means and consequences on exosome production by such manipulations were evaluated in vitro. We also assessed if exosomes derived from GRM1 expressing melanoma cells promote cell growth, migration, invasion as well as colony formation under anchorage-independent growth condition of GRM1 negative cells. Results showed that GRM1 expression in cells, per se, did not modulate exosome quantity, however, modified the qualities and functions of these exosomes.  In Aim 2 we used riluzole, a glutamate signaling blockade, in a melanoma prone mouse model (TGS) for the in vivo assessment of exosomal quantity and quality. Daily treatment of TGS mice with riluzole had no detectable effect on the quantity of exosomes in circulation, however riluzole treatment influenced the effects of the circulating exosomes on metastatic behavior of recipient cells.

Fetal alcohol exposure increases susceptibility to tumorigenesis in the pituitary
Creators: name: Jabbar, Shaima

description: Alcohol exposure during gestation increases susceptibility to the development of pituitary tumors in response to estrogen in rat offspring. While the mechanism underlie this effect is not fully understood, serum estradiol (E2) and pituitary aromatase mRNA expression are increased in fetal alcohol exposed (FAE) offspring, which suggests a role for the estrogen axis. To test our hypothesis, pregnant Fischer 344 rats were fed between gestational days 7 and 21 with a liquid diet containing alcohol (AF), pair-fed with isocaloric liquid diet (PF), or fed rat chow (AD). At 60 days of age, animals were ovariectomized and received a subcutaneous estradiol implant. Rats were sacrificed at various times point after estradiol implantation. At the time of sacrifice, pituitaries of these animals were inspected for tumor growth. Estradiol treatment time-dependently increased pituitary weight in AF group as compared to AD and PF groups. After 120 days of estradiol treatment, inspection of the pituitary revealed that most tumors in the AF group were hemorrhagic and showed expansion to the surrounding tissue. Pituitary tumors from FAE offspring showed strong nuclear p53 and Ki67 expression. Significantly higher mRNA levels of hemorrhage-associated genes and proteins (PTTG, FGF4 and MMP-9) and multipotency genes and proteins (SOX2, Oct4 and CD133) were also observed in pituitary tumor tissues from AF group as compared with PF and AD groups. To test whether FAE enhances the population of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in the pituitary in response to estradiol, pituitaries were collected, and plated in ultra-low plates to promote pituisphere formation. The growing spheres were enzymatically dissociated to permit serial passaging.  Assessment of a panel of genes related to multipotency (OCT4, NANOG, KLF4, SOX2, CD133, CD44, nestin and CD34) indicated that mRNA and protein expression of most of these genes was significantly higher in pituitary cells derived from spheres of AF animals as compared to AD. Pituitary cells derived from spheres of AF animals showed higher cell proliferation, migration and colony formation rates as compared to the control group. The pituitary cells derived from AF spheres were able to grow in immunodeficient mice. These data suggest that alcohol feeding enhances pituitary tumor development, and may program the pituitary to express pluripotent and growth promoting molecules under the estrogenic influence to induce aggressive pituitary tumor.
Rroles of plant defense response and bacterial surface polysaccharides in survival of human enteric pathogens Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Escherichia coli O104:H4 on plants
Creators: name: Jang, Hye In

description: Human enteric pathogens are associated with numerous outbreaks by consumption of contaminated fresh produce, which indicates that plants or vegetable crops can be potential hosts for pathogens. In order to enhance safety of fresh produce, it is important to understand the interactions between human enteric pathogens and plants. However, little information is available about the behavior of human enteric pathogens on plants, such as mechanisms of survival and persistence.  In this study, we investigated survival and persistence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and O104:H4 strains on Arabidopsis thaliana and romaine lettuce, as well as production of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and induction of plant defense response. Colonization study with E. coli O157:H7 86-24 wild-type strain and its isogenic mutants of surface polysaccharides showed that colanic acid-deficient and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-deficient mutants significantly less survived on Arabidopsis plant and lettuce on day 1 and 5 post-inoculation, compared to the wild-type. The two mutants of colanic acid and LPS induced 2-fold greater PR1 gene expression and produced significantly lower amount of CPS compared to wild-type strain (P < 0.05). The results may suggest that structures of colanic acid and LPS of E. coli O157:H7 influence the plant defense response, thereby resulting in different survival and colonization on plants.  To investigate fitness of an emerging Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), colonization of E. coli O104:H4 strains on plants were compared with of that of E. coli O157:H7 strains. Results showed that E. coli O104:H4 strains (RG1, C3493, and LpfA) significantly survived better than E. coli O157:H7 strains (7386 and sakai) on Arabidopsis plant and lettuce at day 5, with greater production of CPS and lower expression of PR1 gene (P < 0.05). These results indicate that different level of plant defense response and CPS production may have an impact on survival or fitness of E. coli O104:H4 and O157:H7 on plants.  In order to develop control strategies in crop cultivation environments, it is essential to learn about the behavior of human enteric pathogens on plants, particularly factors influencing the ability of pathogen to overcome plant host immunity. The present study provides better understanding of roles of plant defense response and surface polysaccharides on the molecular interactions between human pathogens and plants. Interestingly, the similar trend of bacterial survival/persistence between Arabidopsis (model plant) and lettuce (plant crop) may suggest a potential use of Arabidopsis as an appropriate model plant for studying the mechanisms of plant responses to human enteric pathogens on leafy vegetables. This study also provides an insight into potential roles of CPS in the survival of human enteric pathogens.

description: Calls for reform in STEM education have proliferated as nations strive to prepare students for the future global economy.  The 21st century competencies described in the most recent reforms are represented in new standards (such as the Common Core State and Next Generation Science Standards). However, it is not enough to develop reforms through publication and legislation.  What matters is how reform policies are interpreted by teachers and enacted in classrooms.  Therefore, it becomes essential to have measures as indicators of how new reforms are reaching students and whether progress is being made toward reform goals.  The following studies explore the possibility of using classroom artifacts in a complementary measure to classroom observations, achievement scores, and surveys.  Classroom artifacts, which can include assigned tasks from teachers and the responding student work, are very useful in providing evidence about the instruction available to students.  The proposed research extends the body of artifact work in several critical ways.  First, study one provides a thematic synthesis of existing STEM artifact studies to develop a framework of design criteria.  The second study will focus on the design of a standards-based science classroom artifact indicator protocol, informed by findings from the first study.  Study three explores the development of a standards-based math artifact indicator protocol, which differs in critical ways from the science domain.  Findings will be helpful to the artifact research community as well as stakeholders in STEM education as we move toward reforms in classroom instruction that includes both content and practices.

Design of inflatable lunar structure

Year: 2017

description: NASA and other space agencies are now looking to create a lunar settlement for the continued exploration of Moon and beyond. The most challenging aspect of a lunar settlement is its construction, and the weight and size of building materials brought from Earth. In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) and inflatable structures are considered to be the most preferred way for the fabrication of a lunar settlement because they minimize weight and size.  The use and performance of inflatables and flexible structures in space applications have been increased in the recent past due to the technological advancements in materials technology. So, we propose the concept of two-tier semi-rigid inflatable structure where the base is built with the help of autonomous robots using ISRU, and the main inflatable structure is manufactured on Earth and inflated on the lunar surface. Also, magnesium is proposed as the base material as it is the most abundantly available structural-strength material in lunar environment, and it is relatively easy to machine. A hemispherical  inflatable structure placed on top of a cylindrical base with regolith shielding around the structure is considered as a possible lunar design as well as the test prototype.  A static analysis is first conducted on the proposed design using ANSYS, and the stress values are order-of-magnitude verified with simple calculations that prove the possibility of the material and model. Also, an order-of-magnitude analysis is conducted on meteoroid impact loads where we estimate the maximum size of meteoroid that our structure can sustain.  As future work, we suggest the framework known as Performance Based Engineering. We had spent some time attempting to use this framework for a simplified lunar structural analysis. However, large data gaps precluded significant progress. But we include it as one of our future research topics.

description: The PITCHER project (Erasmus+ Programme, 2021-2024) intends to design and test of a set of open educational resources focusing on improving the capacity of teachers and educators in preparing new learning experiences to support the fight against looting and illicit trafficking of cultural goods.

This resource is specially designed for French high school students taking the speciality ‘Histoire-Géographie,Geopolitics and Political Science’ and the “Law and the Major Issues of the Contemporary World” option.It involves the study of three documentary files, accompanied by questions, on the illicit trafficking of cultural goods in Egypt, Syria and Guatemala. It can therefore be an interesting basis for students who wish to present a major oral on these subjects. Secondary school pupils have not been forgotten; the more accessible file on Guatemala will also enable them to tackle this subject.
MUTUAL DEPENDENCIES BETWEEN INTEREST RATES, PRICING STRATEGIES, AND TRADE CREDIT POLICIES
Creators: name: Alexander James, McAllister
Publisher: name: keith journal
Year: 2025
Subjects: Trade Credit, Monetary Policy Transmission, Menu Costs, Credit Channel, NPV Optimization

description: This study investigates the impact of trade credit on the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission, addressing the empirical observation that trade credit tends to mitigate the effects of central bank actions. To elucidate this phenomenon, we develop a partial equilibrium model that incorporates third-degree price discrimination and menu costs. Our primary finding reveals that optimizing credit terms and product prices yields minimal net present value (NPV) gains compared to the minute menu costs associated with short-term interest rate adjustments during low-inflation periods. Consequently, credit terms and product prices remain relatively stable over time, in alignment with empirical evidence presented by Ng, Smith, Smith (1999), and Mateut (2005). Furthermore, our model provides insights into the Meltzer (1960) hypothesis, suggesting that trade credit experiences less volatility than bank credit in the context of monetary policy transmission. This implies that firms strategically set trade credit terms to maximize NPV while considering menu costs, thereby rationalizing certain credit channel-related empirical phenomena. The paper also explores parallels between trade credit dynamics and exchange rate pass-throughs, shedding light on the effectiveness of monetary easing during a pandemic. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between trade credit and monetary policy, with potential implications for policy design and implementation.

Experimental and empirical studies of belief formation

description: This dissertation concerns the formation and the consequences of people’s beliefs and preferences. Empirically and experimentally, I focus on individuals’ beliefs and ideologies through mechanisms such as group dynamics, education, and educational content.   In Chapter 2, I conduct a laboratory experiment in which subjects play a variant of a public goods game without free-riding incentives. With no private information, the prospect of investment in the experiment involves self-evaluation of uncertain personal and group types, which depend on performance on a pretest. I compare subjects’ individual investment decisions with their decisions when in groups. Timing and structure of communication are the two dimensions of controlled treatments. The results suggest that individuals tend to invest more often and that they increase their subjective beliefs of being a “high” type when in groups, especially when group decisions are made prior to individual decisions.   Chapter 3 estimates the causal effect of education on religiosity in the United States using NLSY97. Fixed effects and instrumental variable method are used as identification strategies. Although cross-sectional ordinary least squares estimation shows a positive correlation between religious outcomes and educational attainment, both fixed effect models and IV estimation show statistically significant negative effects of education, even when cognitive test score is controlled. This suggests that conventional OLS omits factors that push both education and religiosity.   In Chapter 4, I employ a regression discontinuity design and make use of a quasi-experimental approach by looking at the 1997 junior high school curriculum reform, “Knowing Taiwan,” to examine the impacts of the increased focus on Taiwan in the textbooks on a variety of civic engagement and national identity in favor of Taiwan. Data is from the Taiwan Social Change Survey. I find a significant positive effect of the new curriculum on national identity. However, most measures of civic participation of the treatment group do not exhibit jumps because of the textbook reform.

description: In this dissertation, a novel polysaccharide-polypeptides nanocomplex was assembled from chitosan (CS) and caseinophosphopeptides (CPPs). CS is a biodegradable, biocompatible, and non-toxic cationic polysaccharide. CPPs are a group of anionic bioactive polypeptides hydrolyzed from caseins, which are the most abundant proteins in milk. CS and CPPs can self-assemble into complexes through predominantly electrostatic attraction when they are oppositely charged. In the first part of this dissertation, the black tea polyphenol theaflavin-3,3’-digallate (TF-3) was encapsulated in the CS-CPPs nanocomplex, aiming to improve its intestinal permeability. The interactions and microstructural changes involved in each step of the encapsulation process were characterized by multiple techniques including turbidimetric titration, fluorescence quenching, circular dichroism, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring, small angle X-ray scattering, and ultra-small angle X-ray scattering. The results indicated that TF-3 firstly associated with CPPs through mainly hydrogen bond. The TF-3/CPPs mixture further interacted with CS via predominantly electrostatic interactions. TF-3 was then encapsulated in the CS-CPPs nanocomplex with high encapsulation efficiency. The CS-CPPs nanocomplex can effectively enhance the intestinal permeability of TF-3.  As the CS-CPPs nanocomplexes were associated predominantly by electrostatic attraction, which is susceptible to pH change. To prevent the low pH-induced disassemble of the nanocomplexes and burst release of the encapsulated TF-3, the nanocomplexes encapsulated with TF-3 were chemically crosslinked by genipin. The Caco-2 monolayer transport results demonstrated that the cumulative amount of transported TF-3 during 2h experiment increased at least 7.8 folds after being encapsulated in the crosslinked nanocomplexes.  In the second part of this dissertation, the CS-CPPs nanocomplexes composed of different CS:CPPs weight ratios were applied to stabilize Pickering emulsions. These gel-like oil-in-water type Pickering emulsions, however, were not stable at low pH due to disassembly of the nanocomplexes. To solve this problem, the CS-CPPs nanocomplexes were crosslinked with genipin at different conditions. These genipin crosslinked CS-CPPs nanocomplexes (GCNs) were further applied to stabilize Pickering emulsions, which showed outstanding stability in a wide pH range. After incorporation of TF-3 in the GCNs, the stability of Pickering emulsions against lipid oxidation has been improved significantly.

Neural plasticity of early sensory pathways in the adult mouse olfactory system
Creators: name: Kass, Marley Deena
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Conventional wisdom suggests that the body’s sensory systems should be consistent, so that a given sensory stimulus always produces more-or-less the same signal to the brain, which can then retrieve related memories or information.  However, using optical neurophysiological tools to observe the earliest parts of the mouse olfactory system, we have found that actually these signals are highly flexible, such that different sensory experiences and previously learned information radically affect the way sensory stimuli are processed in the brain.  The first stage of sensory processing in the olfactory system takes place in the olfactory bulb, where axons from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the nose segregate by receptor type and converge into one or two glomeruli on the surface of the bulb. The brain’s initial (primary) neural code for the identity of an odor in the nose is thus the spatiotemporal pattern of olfactory bulb glomeruli receiving synaptic input from OSNs, which can be modulated by local circuits in the glomerular layer of the bulb.  Here, we demonstrate that these primary odor representations are changed in vivo through simple environmental manipulations, such as olfactory sensory deprivation or odor exposure.  Subsequent experiments show that passive odor exposure leads to changes in temporal patterns of OSN synaptic output that are correlated with perceptual changes in odor quality.  We move on from simple environmental manipulations to explore how emotional learning can influence early sensory processing, and surprisingly find that discriminative olfactory fear conditioning can selectively enhance the synaptic output of OSNs during the presentation of threat-predictive odorants.  By contrast, when conditioned fear generalizes across olfactory stimuli that are quite different from a threat-predictive odor, there is a corresponding facilitation of odor-evoked activity in inhibitory interneurons in the olfactory bulb that generalizes across threatening and non-threatening odors.  These experience-dependent effects may be further modulated by individual differences in endogenous factors such as the expression of certain transduction proteins or circulating levels of sex hormones that can independently shape primary sensory odor representations.  Collectively, the results from these experiments demonstrate that early neural representations of odors are highly malleable on the basis of prior sensory experience and learning, even as early as the primary sensory input to the brain.  Such plasticity presumably maximizes the detection and discrimination of meaningful sensory stimuli in a constantly changing olfactory environment, and is of broad importance for downstream brain regions that receive input from the bulb.
