Year: 2015

description: This thesis presents the design and evaluation of an edge-aware inter-domain routing (EIR) protocol for the MobilityFirst Future Internet Architecture. The EIR protocol provides enhanced inter-domain routing capabilities for wireless/mobile usage scenarios including wireless edge peering, dynamic network formation and mobility, multipath and multi-homing support. The EIR protocol design proposed here is based on abstractions of internal network topology and state of ASes in terms of aNodes and vLinks with this information being flooded through Network State Packets (nSPs) across the Internet. A technique called “telescopic flooding” in which nSP forwarding rates are reduced as a function of hop-distance from the originating node is introduced in order to control the overhead. These nSPs are used to construct the global network topology with some information about the structure and capabilities of each autonomous system(AS), making it possible to realize a variety of routing algorithms corresponding to the use cases  mentioned earlier. Further, EIR is designed to work in conjunction with late binding of names to addresses and in-network storage in order to provide robust services in environments with dynamic mobility and disconnection. The proposed EIR protocol was validated through both large-scale simulations and ORBIT testbed emulations using the Click software framework implementation. The evaluations prove the feasibility of the protocol in terms of flooding overhead, convergence time and inter-domain forwarding table sizes. Also, evaluation of mobility service scenarios with migration of clients and networks across domains were performed and the results demonstrate the benefit of exposing the network state and the performance enhancements that can be achieved through the EIR protocol and related routing algorithms.

Year: 2015

description: Biodegradable, bioactive-based polymers have been successfully employed as sustained bioactive delivery systems. This dissertation describes bioactives that have been chemically incorporated into novel, biodegradable polymers via covalent bonds for controlled, sustained, and tunable release properties. Bioactives are released from polymers via hydrolytic degradation. The polymers described herein utilize alternative synthetic methods and a wide array of bioactives, including antibiotics, antioxidants, antimicrobials, and anti-inflammatory drugs. One goal is to focus on naturally-occurring bioactives that are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.  First, poly(anhydride-amides) comprised of ampicillin were synthesized and  formulated as coatings. Polymer adhesion onto medical-grade stainless steel surfaces was assessed and in vitro release characterized. Cytocompatibility and antibacterial activity elucidated polymer safety and efficacy for potential in vivo use. These localized delivery systems could mediate the issues caused by implant surgery.  Second, poly(anhydride-esters) comprised solely of naturally-occurring phenols  and EDTA were synthesized and physicochemical properties determined. Bioactive release was ascertained, in addition to antioxidant activity and activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These polymers can act as potential preservatives, increasing cosmetic and food product shelf life through antioxidant and antimicrobial pathways.  Third, through environmentally sustainable (i.e, green) methods, polyesters with pendant anti-inflammatory groups and a sugar-based backbone were prepared with minimal solvent use, enzymatic catalysis, and biorenewable reactants and reagents. Three comonomers of varying hydrophobicity were tested to elucidate changes in polymer thermal properties and bioactive release rate.  Fourth, poly(anhydride-esters) with a mannitol backbone and multiple bioactive groups per repeat unit were developed as the first linear, biodegradable polymers with high bioactive loading (~70%) using a polyol.  In vitro ibuprofen release was quantified and an anti-inflammatory assay determined that bioactive retained activity upon polymer degradation. Alteration of polyol, bioactive class, and other facets leads to highly tunable polymer properties.  Last, to combat bacterial spoilage and oxidation, poly(anhydride-esters) containing natural antimicrobials were designed for food applications. Bioactive released from polymer exhibited radical scavenging ability and antibacterial activity. Furthermore, polymers were blended with current food packaging materials (e.g., polyethylene) and molded into films for active food packaging that contains a higher percentage of biodegradable content.

Impact of cytosine instability on single-stranded DNA virus evolution
Creators: name: Stern Cardinale, Daniel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses mutate and evolve at similar rates to RNA viruses, and more rapidly than double-stranded DNA viruses. Unlike RNA viruses, the mechanism underlying these rates is unknown. When unpaired in ssDNA, cytosine is inherently unstable, readily deaminating to uracil. These spontaneous events result in cytosine-to-thymine substitutions, and may explain the high mutation and evolution rates of ssDNA viruses. We examined the codon usage bias of ssDNA bacteriophages and eukaryotic viruses, and found that ssDNA viruses consistently overuse thymine at synonymous sites, regardless of the codon preferences of their hosts. This finding is consistent with a persistent cytosine-to-thymine mutation pressure. We further utilized bottleneck passaging to characterize the mutation spectrum of phiX174, a ssDNA bacteriophage, though we were unable to observe mutational bias. Finally, we treated populations of phiX174 with sodium bisulfite, a cytosine-specific deaminating agent, to induce lethal mutagenesis by elevating the mutation rate of cytosine. We were able to successfully drive these populations to extinction, and lethal mutagenesis is the most likely explanation for these observations.
Alginate-encapsulated mesenchymal stromal cells as a multi-potent therapy for traumatic brain injury
Creators: name: Stucky, Elizabeth Carol

Year: 2015

description: Primary damage in traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs instantaneously, and the only method of intervening is prevention. Secondary brain injury, however, involves a complex range of cellular and molecular processes that occur over a period of hours to months after the primary injury, resulting in both immediate cell death and damage, and long-term degenerative changes.  Therapies that provide protection against secondary insults and/or restore neural function are critical to survival and functional recovery following TBI.  Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapy, acting as trophic mediators capable of responding to their micro-environment.  Current delivery methods, however, limit sustained therapeutic benefit due to lack of long-term persistence, and migration away from the injury site.  We have previously developed a method to immobilize MSCs in alginate micro-spheres, enabling greater control and localization.    Herein, we evaluated alginate-encapsulated MSC therapy for the ability to target secondary injury components contributing to progressive damage following TBI.  We demonstrated that encapsulated MSCs attenuated the neuro-inflammatory response in organotypic hippocampal slice culture (OHSC), more effectively than monolayer MSCs, and identified PGE2 as a key inflammatory mediator produced by MSCs.  In contrast to monolayer MSCs, inflammatory signals were not required to stimulate PGE2 production by encapsulated MSCs. Further encapsulation-stimulated changes were revealed in a multiplex panel analyzing 27 MSC-produced cytokines and growth factors. We also determined that our encapsulated MSC treatment primarily targets astrocyte-mediated inflammation, and that constitutively increased levels of PGE2 produced by encapsulated MSCs may be a key contributor to their enhanced inflammatory modulation.  Furthermore, encapsulated MSC treatment is capable of up-regulating astrocyte expression of several neurotrophic factors.  In addition to modulating inflammation, encapsulated MSCs also prevented ischemia-induced cell death and neurite retraction in OHSC and cerebellar granule neuron cultures, and reduced astrocyte activation markers following in vitro ischemic injury.      Overall, we have shown that encapsulated MSCs target multiple components of secondary injury following TBI, including inflammation and ischemia, and provide both anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective benefit.  These results suggest that alginate encapsulation of MSCs may not only provide an improved delivery vehicle for transplantation but may also enhance MSC therapeutic benefit for TBI recovery.
Common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia L.) as a model for understanding fungal community organization in the phyllosphere

description: Fungi asymptomatically infect all terrestrial vegetation, but the structure and assembly of these fungal communities are poorly understood. Smilax rotundifolia, a common woody vine of the northeastern United States, was used as a model to study endophytic (internal colonizing) and epiphytic (surface colonizing) fungal communities, from the perspectives of niche-based influences, spatial variation, and evolutionary relationships. Wild greenbrier plants were sampled in New Jersey (USA) in late winter at a single site, and again in mid-summer, in a multi-site, multi-tissue, sampling effort.     Fungal communities of the plant surface and interior were made up of mostly different species. Correlative relationships were found between some fungal species' abundances, but none were seen between species that were strongly restricted to the surface and those strongly restricted to the interior. The summer, multi-site study, revealed that the strongest factor determining fungal community composition was surface vs. interior habitat, followed by tissue/organ type, and lastly general geographic location. The effect of season was also studied by comparing the single-site winter dataset against the data from the same site sampled in summer. Season had a major influence on some fungal species but not others, similar to influence of tissue type. Also, in a very novel finding, it was found that certain endophytes showed statistically different abundances, depending on the distance from the stem base at which a sample was taken. The optimum height differed for different fungal species. At the scale of a single stand of plants, it was found that epiphytic, but not endophytic, samples showed a significant correlation between spatial proximity and fungal community similarity. Finally, the phylogenetic relationships were studied between congeneric fungal species that were common on the plant. Two-gene phylogenies were constructed using Smilax-derived isolates, along with downloaded sequences of well-defined species in the same genera. These congeneric species were found to be only distantly related (i.e., they were widely separated within the known phylogenies of their genus). The final chapter is a literature review, bringing insight from the present dissertation research to identify important unanswered questions. Evidence for the role of plant secondary metabolites on endophytic fungi is discussed.

Hypoglycemic effects of stilbene glycoside from Polygonum multiflorum in type 2 diabetes and its mechanism of action
Creators: name: Tang, Wenping
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death in the U. S. The number of people with diabetes has been increasing dramatically, and is expected to reach 366 million worldwide by 2030. Type 2 diabetes, affecting more than 90% of diabetes patients, is strongly associated with oxidative stress and is characterized by insulin resistance. There has been a strong need for safe and effective hypoglycemic agents due to side effects from anti-diabetic drugs.      Polygonum multiflorum (PM) has long been used as a tonic in traditional Chinese medicine. The medicinal effects of PM are believed to be mediated through its strong antioxidant activity. Our objective is to test if PM extract has anti-diabetic effect, and to identify its active compounds. We gave 0.075% PM extract to KK CgAy/J type 2 diabetic mice in drinking water and after 7 weeks, PM-treated mice had significantly lower glucose level than control mice (p<0.003). We explored possible mechanisms with Elisa and Western Blotting and suggested that the effect was through maintaining β cell function.       The major peak in the extract, also the major active compound in PM, trans-2,3,5,4’-tetrahydroxystilbene 2-O-β-glucopyranoside (trans-SG) was evaluated using the same animal model, however, no hypoglycemic effect was found. In exploring efficacious compounds, we identified cis-SG in PM extract and induced isomerization from trans- to cis- SG with UV light. In a high fat-induced type 2 diabetic mice model, crude extract containing cis- and trans- SG with the ratio of 2:3 exhibited significant hypoglycemic capacity, while pure trans-SG and crude extract with the ratio of 1:20 did not.       The mechanism of differential anti-diabetic activities of trans- and cis- SG are investigated using PEPCK assay with HepG2 liver cell culture, and both isomers could effectively suppress Dex/cAMP induced PEPCK transcription, with cis-SG offering slightly better results. We also utilized high fat-induced CF-1 male mice to study the anti-diabetic effect of these two isomers. Both SGs were effective in lowering blood glucose in this model, and cis-SG improved glucose intolerance while trans-SG did not. And from the HOMA model the effect in the animal study was found to be through ameliorating insulin resistance.

description: The i-SoMPE project aims to document innovative SMPs across Europe. Some innovative soil managementand farming practices can address major EJP SOIL targets “good agricultural soil management for: climatechange mitigation and adaptation, sustainable production, ecosystem services and less soil degradation”.

Three main activities have been done:

    1. Inventory of soil management practices. Based on data collected by 25 partners in 24 countries across        Europe, an inventory of 100 SMPs describing environmental limits in terms of farming systems, land        use, site and soils but also evaluating their current application and their potential impacts and drafting        their potential ability for tackling main soil challenges. The approach is detailed in chapter 3 and the        inventory itself is shared in a printable version in appendix E, but other user friendly tools are also        proposed (web application, reactive report, details can be found in section 3.4.

    2. Framework to assess agro-environmental limits. Based on zonal statistics of environmental vari-        able, a framework was developed for estimating whether a practice is applicable in a certain agro-        environmental zone and if so, how large the potential area of application is. Furthermore, the compiled        data allows the calculation of SMP-specific variables that may limit the adoption of a practice. The        methodological approach is presented in chapter 2 and was applied in three exemplary case studies in        chapter 5.

    3. Barriers and opportunities for adopting innovative soil management practices. Finally, qualitative        approaches, including qualitative surveys and data analyses, were set up for assessing innovative soil        management practices in terms of adoption by farmers, revealing main barriers and opportunities.        This approach was applied to a main case study at European level, Conservation agriculture (chapter        4) and to 4 diversified cases studies (chapter 5).

 

This documents is the final report of the i-SoMPE project. It presents the approaches used and the mainresults.The framework for assessing the agro-environmental constraints as well as for highlighting the barriers

and opportunities, influencing the diffusion of innovations have been applied to a limited number of casestudies. The main barriers and opportunities to increase the adoption level of the innovative SMPs in Europeare linked to farming systems Beside the classical printable version of the inventory (pdf), a web-browserversion (in html) in the form of ‘gitbook’ is available and, last but not least, a user-friendly reactive web-basedapplication in the form of a shiny app.

To train up a child

Year: 2015

description: To Train Up a Child explores the many ways that Protestant educators attempted to foster in children a deeper commitment to the Bible and a closer connection to Christ. This study shows how the emergence and proliferation of children's literature broadened the scope of religious instruction by providing educators with resources that their predecessors had lacked. Featuring a wide range of genres—catechisms, picture books, histories, geographies, biographies, children's sermons, and Sunday-school curricula—it looks at the educational practices and pedagogical heuristics that were developed to lead children into biblical literacy and to instill in them the principles of Christianity. Concerned for those who could not grasp the Bible's complexities, and for the many who seemed unwilling to try, religious educators turned to books that would, the hoped, bring the Bible to life and instill in young readers a lasting interest in its stories. As adults worked to make scripture real and relevant, they paid greater attention to childhood development, sought out texts that illuminated sacred history, and worked to make Bible study as effectual and entertaining as possible.

The river-border complex
Creators: name: Thomas, Kimberley Anh
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: International rivers are conventionally understood as watercourses that cross national boundaries, while borders themselves are taken to be static and given—passive features over and across which riparian processes play out. Employing such straightforward framings of international rivers and borders, academic studies and policy analyses of transboundary water governance perpetuate problematic ideas about the relevant scales and actors involved in international river conflicts and crises. In contrast, I integrate the insights of recent scholarship that regards borders as contingent, contested, semi-permeable and mobile with analyses of historical records, non-water river flows (e.g. pollution, energy, fish, cargo), hydrological data, and international development programs to argue that the Ganges River and Indo-Bangladeshi border function synergistically to surprising effect. I introduce the concept of the “river-border complex” to distinguish international rivers (as defined above) from this multifaceted interaction of rivers and borders. The river-border complex encompasses the individual agents (e.g. World Bank, hydraulic engineers), discrete actions (e.g. border demarcation, treaty ratification), and ongoing activities (e.g. data collection, aquaculture) that interact to structure water use and resource access within transboundary river contexts. By challenging commonsense conceptions of international rivers, I make four interrelated arguments based on the case of the Ganges River and Indo-Bangladeshi border: 1) international rivers do not preexist national borders but must be continually made and remade through bordering processes (e.g. fencing, patroling, exclusion); 2) border-mediated flows along rivers reinforce uneven power relationships between upstream and downstream riparians; 3) cooperation between riparian states simultaneously resolves transboundary water conflicts while engendering new ones; and, 4) non-riparian actors (those who hail from outside the transboundary water region) dramatically shape the combined social-hydrological landscape but are overwhelmingly excluded from prevailing analyses of transboundary water conflicts and crises. In demonstrating multiple ways to operationalize the river-border complex framework, I exhibit its utility as a method for identifying what entities and processes structure transboundary water access, use, conflicts, and crises.

Theoretical and mass spectrometric studies of N-heterocyclic compounds and their roles in reactions
Creators: name: Tian, Yuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation focuses on the gas phase properties and reactivity of two types of N-heterocyclic compounds: N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and nucleobase derivatives.  Imidazole-2-ylidene and imidazolidin-2-ylidene are stabilized carbenes widely applied in organometallics and organocatalysis. The only structural difference between the two is the degree of unsaturation on their heterocyclic backbone. Imidazole-2-ylidene is unsaturated (denoted as unsatNHCs) while imidazolidin-2-ylidene is saturated (denoted as satNHC). Our studies focused on the proton affinities comparison between unsatNHCs and satNHCs. The results indicate that satNHCs are more basic than their unsaturated counterparts. They are both more basic than the first generation Grubbs catalyst ligand tricyclohexylphosphine.   N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) catalyze Umpolung condensation reactions of carbonyl compounds, including the benzoin condensation and Stetter reaction. These types of reactions have not been examined in the gas phase. We explored the feasibility of examining these reactions in the absence of solvent. Charge-tagged thiazolylidene catalysts were used to track the reactions by mass spectrometry. We found that the addition of the NHC catalysts to a carbonyl compound to form the "Breslow intermediate" can only be accessed by introducing acylsilanes, which takes advantage of Brook rearrangement. The second step addition, with another aldehyde or a Michael acceptor, does not occur under our gas phase conditions. The differential reactivity between the condensed and gas phases was discussed.  A light-responsive NHC was to have different electronic properties between its two isomers. We conducted a series of molecular orbital calculations to clarify the electronic structure difference between the two isomers.  The DNA glycosylase MutY repairs the DNA damage by removing adenine from mismatched adenine:8-oxoganine base pair. To help understand the mechanism of MutY, gas phase proton affinities and acidities of four MutY substrates were measured. The measurement matches calculated values by our group. The tautomerization of protonated 6-methyl-1-deazaadenine was also discussed.   It is hypothesized that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) can initiate in vitro DNA transcription catalyzed by E.coli RNA polymerase (RNAP). To prove this hypothesis, a mixture of DNA template, E.coli RNAP, CTP and NAD+ were made, aiming to find the 5’-NAD+ modified RNA sequence NAD+pC. An LC-MS method was developed to analyze NAD+pC.
