Higher education

description: Recently, scholars in rhetoric and composition (e.g., Bruce McComiskey) have argued that their field has a key role to play in schools’ efforts to fight fake news. This field already engages with questions of how communicators build credibility and persuade audiences, and of how first-year writing courses (which many rhetoric and composition scholars teach) already often focus on skills like source evaluation and critical thinking. Thus, scholars like McComiskey have argued that rhetoric and composition can and should exert an influence on universities’ civic education efforts in the 21st century. However, despite an uptick in scholarly interest in fake news, empirical study of whether first-year writing courses impart civic skills is scarce.An exploratory study examined whether students who take first-year composition courses experience any growth in Civic Online Reasoning (COR) when those courses’ learning outcomes invoke the notions of critical thinking, source evaluation, and digital literacy. It also investigated whether students’ COR gains differed between course sections and identified curricular features that might contribute to those differences. COR assessments developed by the Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) were administered to students before and after completing a first-year writing course. Participating instructors’ course documents (syllabi and major assignment sheets) were also analyzed via a qualitative coding procedure. Students’ scores for the COR component skills of Ad Identification and Lateral Reading increased significantly after one semester of first-year composition instruction. However, students’ scores for the Claim Research and Evidence Analysis skills did not improve. Moreover, no significant differences were observed between sections. These results suggested the possibility that, even absent explicit COR instruction, first-year composition courses can impart some COR skill gains, but that the particular approach the instructor uses does not matter much. However, several methodological problems prevented the study from offering firmer conclusions. In addition to making a case for additional research, this dissertation argues that if scholars in rhetoric and composition wish to have a hand in defining universities’ approaches to civic education in the future, they should strive to generate robust, generalizable evidence of the benefits of their courses. This will require them to embrace empirical and quantitative methodologies and to engage with work in other fields more frequently.
Platforms and Molecular Mechanisms for Improving Signal Transduction and Signal Enhancement in Multi-step Point-Of-Care Diagnostics

Subjects: Biomechanical engineering

description: Swift recognition of disease-causing pathogens at the point-of-care enables life-saving treatment and infection control. However, current rapid diagnostic devices often fail to detect the low concentrations of pathogens present in the early stages of infection, causing delayed and even incorrect treatments. Rapid diagnostics that require multiple steps and/or elevated temperatures to perform have a number of barriers to use at the point-of-care and in the field, and despite efforts to simplify these platforms for ease of use, many still require diagnostic-specific training for the healthcare professionals who use them. Most nucleic acid amplification assays require hours to perform in a sterile laboratory setting that may be still more hours from a patient’s bedside or not at all feasible for transport in remote or low-resourced areas. The cold-chain storage of reagents, multistep sample preparation, and costly instrumentation required to analyze samples has prohibited many nucleic acid detection and antibody-based assays from reaching the point-of-care. There remains a critical need to bring rapid and accessible pathogen identification technologies that determine disease status and ensure effective treatment out of the laboratory. Paper-based diagnostics have emerged as a portable platform for antigen and nucleic acid detection of pathogens but are often limited by their imperfect control of reagent incubation, multiple complex steps, and inconsistent false positive results. Here, I have developed mechanisms to economically improve thermal incubations, automate dried reagent flow for multistep assays, and specifically detect pathogenic antigens while improving final output sensitivity on paper-based devices. First, I characterize miniaturized inkjet printed joule-heaters (microheaters) that enable thermal control for pathogen lysis and nucleic acid amplification incubation on a low-cost paper-based device. Next, I explore 2-Dimensional Paper Networks as a means to automate multistep visual enhancement reactions with dried reagents to increase the sensitivity and readability of nucleic acid detection with paper-based devices. Lastly, I aim to create a novel Reverse-Transcription Recombinase Polymerase Reaction mechanism to amplify and detect a specific region of the Spike protein domain of SARS-CoV-2. This will allow the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 infections to aid in managing the current COVID-19 pandemic. In the future, these tools could be integrated into a rapid diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens, ultimately improving the accessibility and sensitivity of rapid diagnostics on multiple fronts.

Solid-state Stability of Antibody-drug Conjugates
Creators: name: Cho, Eunbi
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Pharmaceutical sciences

description: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine the cytotoxicity of traditional chemotherapy with the site-specificity of antibodies by conjugating payloads to antibodies with immunoaffinity. However, the conjugation alters the physicochemical properties of antibodies, increasing the risks of various types of degradation. The effects of common risk factors such as pH, temperature, and light on the stability of ADCs differ from their effects on monoclonal antibodies (mAb) due to these altered physicochemical properties. To date, ADC researchers have developed linkers with improved in vivo stability, and begun to understand the deconjugation mechanisms in vivo. In contrast, the in vitro stability of ADCs has not gained comparable attention. All nine of the U.S. FDA approved ADCs are lyophilized to minimize the potential for degradation. However, there are few studies on the solid-state stability of ADCs. To evaluate lyophilized solids, pharmaceutical development relies heavily on accelerated stability studies, which take months to determine the best formulation. Characterization methods that are often used orthogonally with accelerated studies include Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Results from these methods are often poorly correlated with stability, however. Thus, stability evaluation of solid-state ADC products, and other recombinant protein drugs, is often a bottleneck in their development. To provide knowledge on how to improve the in vitro stability of lyophilized ADC formulations, the solid-state stability of ADC formulations with varying risk factors was studied in this dissertation project. The first study investigated interactions between an ADC and excipients in terms of solid-state stability enhancement. The second study investigated the process-driven instability of ADCs during lyophilization using various concentrations of ADCs. The first two studies incorporate a new method called solid-state hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled with mass spectrometry (ssHDX-MS) as an analytical predictor of solid-state stability. The last study investigated the effects of pH on the stability of labile hydrazones, as a model for common linker chemistry used in ADCs.

description: In this research, an attempt is made to evaluate alternative model-predictive microgrid control approaches and to understand the trade-offs that emerge between model complexity and the ability to achieve real-time optimized system performance. Three alternative controllers are considered and their computational and optimization performance compared. In the first, nonlinearities of the generators are included within the optimization. Subsequently, an approach is considered wherein alternative (non-traditional) states and inputs of generators are used which enables one to leverage linear models with the model predictive control (MPC). Nonlinearities are represented outside the control in maps between MPC inputs and the physical inputs. Third, a recently proposed linearized trajectory (LTMPC) is considered. Finally, the performance of the controllers is examined utilizing alternative models of the synchronous machine that have been proposed for power system analysis.

Year: 2024

description: In den 1980er und 1990er Jahren setzt ein generelles Umdenken innerhalb der ethnologischen Disziplin ein. Es setzt sich spätestens mit der Writing-Culture Debatte die Erkenntnis durch, dass Ethnolog:innen nicht in der dazu in der Lage sind, Kultur vollständig in all ihren Facetten darzustellen und ebensowenig über die Fähigkeit verfügen, sie zu übersetzen. In der Folge beginnt die Suche nach neuen Formen des ethnographischen Schreibens und Wissensproduktion. Resultat dieser Suche sind neue Strömungen, wie die Native Anthropology, die Autoethnographie. Ferner kommt die Forderung nach einer dialogischen Ethnologie auf. Die dialogische Ethnologie betrachtet Dialog zwischen Forschenden und Erforschten als Schlüssel ethnologischer Wissensproduktion. Sie setzt sich zum Ziel, diesen Dialog zwischen Forschenden und Erforschten zu ermöglichen, fördern und abzubilden. In dieser Arbeit möchte ich mich mit der Frage auseinandersetzen, wie eine solche dialogische Ethnologie aussehen könnte. Mein Ziel ist es, einen möglichen Ansatz grob zu skizzieren.

FOOD WASTE, THE DOUBLE-BURDEN OF MALNUTRITION, AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM
Creators: name: Barrera, Wilson Emiliano Lopez
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Agricultural economics

description: Sustainably meeting the food demands of a growing population based on finite resources while protecting the environment is one of the great challenges of humanity in the coming decades. This dissertation combines three essays that examine how future patterns of global food consumption will affect human health, and how the food system changes driven by the ongoing global nutrition transition will affect the environment. The production of food needed to meet a growing population combined with changes in food consumption patterns are placing unprecedented levels of stress on the planet’s scarce natural resources. In this context, while the existing literature has mainly focused on increasing production, the magnitude of loss and waste is too large to be ignored. The first essay contributes to the literature by examining the linkages between consumers’ food waste at the national level on the one hand, and global food security and environmental health on the other hand. Absent significant behavioral changes or successful policy interventions, food waste will nearly double by 2050. Emerging economies are likely to play a key role in driving this growth in global food waste. Further findings indicate that the global benefits of food waste mitigation are greatly enhanced in the context of a more open international trade regime. Yet even as food loss and waste has been undernutrition and overweight/obesity levels have also been increasing. Together, these trends form a triple challenge for food security, global sustainability and human health. In the second essay I examine the role of the excessive calorie availability as an historical driver of adult BMI. I find that, in part driven by excess in calorie availability, individuals in more recent cohorts are overweight or obese earlier and for larger proportions of their lifespan than those in earlier cohorts. This highlights the potential for unintended health consequences of agricultural and trade policies directed at increasing calorie supplies. In the third essay I introduce a novel framework that extends the UN-FAO’s methodology for assessing undernutrition to also assess the extent of overconsumption and obesity. This framework allows for examination of the dynamics of the double burden of malnutrition between 2015 and 2050. Specifically, this framework shows how shifting towards healthier and more sustainable food consumption levels and reducing food waste could synergistically address multiple health and environmental burdens.

description: Distance learning is facing a critical moment finding a balance between high quality education for remote students and engaging them in hands-on learning. This is particularly relevant for project-based classrooms and makerspaces, which typically require extensive trouble-shooting and example demonstrations from instructors. We present RobotAR, a teleconsulting robotics system for creating Augmented Reality (AR) makerspaces. We present the hardware and software for an AR-compatible robot, which behaves as a student’s voice assistant and can be embodied by the instructor for teleconsultation. As a desktop-based teleconsulting agent, the instructor has control of the robot’s joints and position to better focus on areas of interest inside the workspace. Similarly, the instructor has access to the student’s virtual environment and the capability to create AR content to aid the student with problem-solving. We also performed a user study which compares current techniques for distance hands-on learning and an implementation of our system.

description: In an era where generative artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly contributes to the creation of persuasive content, understanding the underlying mechanisms of this technology is imperative. The intersection of rhetoric and algorithmic output raises critical questions about how traditional rhetorical techniques are integrated into AI-generated materials. This discourse not only affects public perception and decision-making but also demands a reassessment of information authenticity and ethical use in communication. As media literacy educators, policymakers, and AI developers seek to navigate this complex terrain, an exploration of rhetorical devices within AI outputs becomes essential.

description: Background The COVID-19 pandemic was a disaster that had far reaching effects on healthcare services, one of which being sexual and reproductive health. By disrupting the majority of in-person healthcare services, as well as the function of many supply chains, people across the globe faced difficulties in accessing the goods and services they relied on. This review is attempting to answer the question, what were the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on women’s access to contraceptives? Methods Web of Science was searched on February 26, 2025 for studies reporting on participants’ ability to access contraceptives during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to before and/or after. Studies must have been conducted exclusively in people who identify as women, and who were engaged with contraceptives at the start of the pandemic. Data were narratively synthesized and grouped based on changes in use of contraceptives attributed to pandemic, and unintended pregnancies. Results This review includes 7 included studies which represent 9 countries and 84,562 people. Women’s ages range from 12-50 years. Study size ranges from about 200 to over 70,000. Available data suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic had deleterious effects on reproductive health. Fear of becoming infected prevented many women from accessing contraceptives as they were able to pre-pandemic. COVID-19 related economic losses have also been linked to changes in fertility intentions, in turn changing contraceptives and family planning for some women. There was a reduction in dispensing of pharmaceutical contraceptives, such as the hormonal pill. There was an increase in unintended pregnancies. However, widespread use of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) eliminated some risks that arise from disruptions in services. Conclusion The current structure of the health care delivery system does not support equitable access to contraceptives. COVID-19 is one of many factors that can exacerbate this. Globally, interventions to address gaps in sexual education have the potential to improve access to and knowledge of contraception; this may be particularly critical during disruptions such as COVID-19 which can impact supply chains and access to healthcare providers.

Computer vision with limited domain knowledge and annotations. Reducing domain expert effort from image acquisition to interpretation

Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 000

description: This thesis explores methods in machine learning and computer vision to extract meaningful semantic information from images, with a primary focus on marine images, while addressing challenges associated with limited prior knowledge and annotation constraints. Traditional deep learning approaches in computer vision—such as image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation—have achieved impressive results but depend heavily on large datasets of labeled images and predefined class information. However, marine imaging often lacks these resources, as species in remote marine environments are not always known in advance, and annotated images are scarce due to limited access to trained experts. This work develops and evaluates novel techniques to address these gaps, aiming to reduce the need for domain specific labeled training data and the effort required to obtain it.

description:
 Individuals with disabilities and persons operating in inaccessible environments can greatly benefit from the aid of robotic manipulators in performing activities of daily living (ADLs) and other remote tasks. Users relying on robotic manipulators to interact with their environment are restricted by the lack of sensory information available through traditional operator interfaces. These interfaces only allow visual task access and deprive users of somatosensory feedback that would be available through direct contact. Multimodal sensory feedback can bridge these perceptual gaps effectively. Given a set of object properties (e.g. temperature, weight) to be conveyed and sensory modalities (e.g. visual, haptic) available, it is necessary to determine which modality should be assigned to each property for an effective interface design. However, the effectiveness of assigning properties to modalities has varied with application and context. The goal of this study was to develop an effective multisensory interface for robot-assisted pouring tasks, which delivers nuanced sensory feedback while permitting high visual demand necessary for precise teleoperation. To that end, an optimization approach is employed to generate a combination of feedback properties to modality assignments that maximizes effective feedback perception and minimizes cognitive load. A set of screening experiments tested twelve possible individual assignments to form the combination. Resulting perceptual accuracy, load, and user preference measures were input into a cost function. Formulating and solving as a linear assignment problem, a minimum cost combination was generated. Results from experiments evaluating efficacy in practical use cases for pouring tasks indicate that the solution is significantly more effective than no feedback and has considerable advantage over an arbitrary design.

Aerospace structures

description: 10ABSTRACTEnergetic materials are widely used as rocket propellants and explosives in the field of aerospace and defense. Understanding the nature of impact in polymer-bonded explosives is crucial safety and transportation of energetic materials. The formation of hotpots in energetic materials leads to unexpected initiations, posing a safety hazard. An attempt was made to study the mechanical behavior of energetic materials under different shapes of impactors. In particular, the likelihood of hotspot formations was discussed in spherical and Spherical Impactors(SI). Spherical and planar-shaped impactors were modeled with a cohesive finite element frame work to simulate the behavior of granular energetic materials with cyclo-tetramethylene-tetranitramine(HMX) embedded in a hydroxyl-polybutadiene binder. Temperature distribution and stresses induced around crystals on expanding stress profile of SI and uniform pressure profile from a SI are compared to determine the possibility of detonation.
In this work, the dependence of sample morphology on induced stresses in the microstructure is highlighted by using three different microstructures. A digitized polymer-bonded-explosive microstructure was analyzed for possible initiations with different impact velocities. The effect of the shape of grains and volume fractions on the likeliness of hotspot formation were studied using rounded and sharp-edged idealized crystals. Impactor behavior on samples was compared based on force chains, temperature profiles, and stress distributions

Modelling and simulation

description: The dissertation offers a Multiphysics perspective in analyzing emerging metallurgical techniques. Heat transfer, structural deformation, and fluid flow associate with one another in phase-changing materials processing methods. To comprehensively analyze these aspects for an optimized final product, the authors have proposed a numerical mathematical model describing the thermal and geometric progression of the binary alloy casting process. The model is further executed in COMSOL Multiphysics, adapted in two metal manufacturing applications, resistance spot welding (RSW) and binder jet printing (BJP). Resistance spot welding is a well-adapted metal sheeting joining technique with comparably limited modeling and simulating research. The heat transfer module and geometric deformation module are applied to the simulation of RSW to discuss the thermal gradient development of the welding zone. The model was further calculated and verified through a case study with Python. BJP is a rapidly developing additive manufacturing method. The novel 3D printing technique brings challenges in post-processing geometric control and material selection limitations. Multiphysics simulation serves as an excellent tool in process parameters analysis and quality control. This dissertation focuses on the sintering process of BJP of binary alloy powders. Melting and solidification mathematical models were implemented in COMSOL, where the sintering shrinkage rate could be calculated. The shrinkage rate was further verified through experimental analysis of binder jet printed samples. Microstructural analysis on sintered binder jet printed parts was performed to assess the validity of BJP to substitute the die casting method for manufacturing of valvebody. Sintering shrinkage and metallurgical analysis have been performed on the green and sintered BJP samples. After sintering, the final part achieved 98% density, and the integrity of the designed channels was preserved. The shrinkage analysis has indicated the effect of printing orientation and sintering orientation on the geometry and metallurgy of the final products. Microstructure analysis on the cross-sections of the sintered products also indicates the various defects induced from biner jet 3D printing. The research aims to provide a systematic rheology analysis of the phase transformation process of binary alloys. The dissertation has connected the physical, mathematical modeling with 15
simulative modeling through the rheological evaluation of phase-changing manufacturing techniques. The connections were conclusively verified through empirical studies, including case assessment and experimentation. The research aims to offer universally applicable models that can be applied to phase-changing metal processing techniques.
