title: Problematic and non-problematic ecstasy (MDMA) usage : cognitive and psychopathological aspects
Creators: name: Soar, Kirstie
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2005

description: This research thesis aimed to explore the apparent dichotomy of ecstasy (MDMA) users who report cognitive and psychopathological problems which they attribute to their use of this drug ("problematic" users), and those who report no adverse ecstasy-related effects ("nonproblematic"
users). In the first study, possible psychological sequalae linked to past ecstasy use were assessed in problematic and non-problematic ecstasy users using the modified Brief
Symptom Inventory, aspects of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test, Tower of London and Auditory Verbal Learning Task. Problematic ecstasy users displayed higher
psychopathological symptoms and a small number of selective cognitive deficits compared to non-problematic ecstasy users and polydrug controls. However, problematic ecstasy use did not appear to be related to patterns of ecstasy use or polydrug use. Using the same assessment measures, a case study based on a heavy problematic ecstasy user (RW), who had been abstinent for seven years, was presented. RW displayed cognitive deficits and extensive psychological problems suggesting that heavy ecstasy consumption may be associated with irreversible problems. The persistence of possible psychological and cognitive problems was further investigated in the second group study, using the same battery of tests. However no significant differences in cognitive and psychopathological performances were found between polydrug controls, current and ex-ecstasy users. It is argued that impairments in performance were possibly masked by poor cognitive performance in polydrug controls. The validity of the polydrug control group was addressed (in the third study) by assessing 20 drug-naive participants on the same measures. The introduction of a drug-naive control group only suggested that problematic and non-problematic ecstasy users were exhibiting more errors on the Tower of London task compared to polydrug and drug-naive controls. The final study assessed psychopathological symptoms in problematic and non-problematic ecstasy users relative to drug-naive and polydrug controls, and explored factors which may be integral in the development of problematic ecstasy use, including certain pre-existing factors. Users were assessed on the BSI and Locus of Control scale. Pre-existing psychiatric histories, the intensity of ecstasy dosing and the role of polydrug use in relation to ecstasy use, appeared to contribute in higher psychopathological symptoms in problematic ecstasy users. Together these studies suggest that only self-reported problematic ecstasy users consistently display cognitive and psychopathological problems. For these vulnerable individuals the intensity of
ecstasy use, patterns of other drug use and pre-existing psychiatric histories are thought to contribute to the development of these problems.
Parameterizing Kterm Hashing

description: Kterm Hashing provides an innovative approach to novelty detection on massive data streams. Previous research focused on maximizing the efficiency of Kterm Hashing and succeeded in scaling First Story Detection to Twitter-size data stream without sacrificing detection accuracy. In this paper, we focus on improving the effectiveness of Kterm Hashing. Traditionally, all kterms are considered as equally important when calculating a document's degree of novelty with respect to the past. We believe that certain kterms are more important than others and hypothesize that uniform kterm weights are sub-optimal for determining novelty in data streams. To validate our hypothesis, we parameterize Kterm Hashing by assigning weights to kterms based on their characteristics. Our experiments apply Kterm Hashing in a First Story Detection setting and reveal that parameterized Kterm Hashing can surpass state-of-the-art detection accuracy and significantly outperform the uniformly weighted approach.

How UMass-FSD Inadvertently Leverages Temporal Bias

description: First Story Detection describes the task of identifying new events in a stream of documents. The UMass-FSD system is known for its strong performance in First Story Detection competitions. Recently, it has been frequently used as a high accuracy baseline in research publications. We are the first to discover that UMass-FSD inadvertently leverages temporal bias. Interestingly, the discovered bias contrasts previously known biases and performs significantly better. Our analysis reveals an increased contribution of temporally distant documents, resulting from an unusual way of handling incremental term statistics. We show that this form of temporal bias is also applicable to other well-known First Story Detection systems, where it improves the detection accuracy. To provide a more generalizable conclusion and demonstrate that the observed bias is not only an artefact of a particular implementation, we present a model that intentionally leverages a bias on temporal distance. Our model significantly improves the detection effectiveness of state-of-the-art First Story Detection systems.

description: Psychosocial stress is strongly related to sleep disturbance; however, little is known about the specific interpersonal aspects of stress that are associated with sleep quality and presleep arousal (PSA). Structured interviews from 76 participants (53% female) about a recent stressful event were objectively coded for interpersonal patterns using Structural Analysis of Social Behavior. Sleep quality and PSA were assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the presleep Arousal Scale. Stressor narratives characterized by higher trust in others were associated with lower overall PSQI scores, less daytime dysfunction, and shorter reported sleep onset latencies. Stressor narratives characterized by hostile distancing (i.e., isolation and withdrawal) were associated with higher cognitive PSA. Findings highlight the importance of perceived interpersonal safety versus threat in the context of stressful events and sleep quality.

description: The effect of pretreatment with penicillin on para-aminohippurate (PAH) transport by kidney of the immature rat was evaluated in vivo.  After 3 days of penicillin administration, the renal clearances of inulin (CIN), PAH(CPAH), and N-methylnicotinamide (CNMN)  and the rental tubular transport maximum (Tm) for PAH were measured in rats as young as 17 days of age.  The CPAH by 19- to 21-day old rats pretreated with procaine penicillin was 46% greater than that of there litter-mate controls.  Similarly, CPAH of rats that received sodium penicillin was 27% greater than control.  CIN was not increased after penicillin pretreatment.  Pretreatment with penicillin of rats older than 24 days of age did not change CIN or CPAH.  The Tm for PAH of 17-day-old rats pretreated with sodium penicillin was 51% greater than that of control rats.  Sodium penicillin-pretreated rats had a lower CNMN that did control rats.  These results are in contrast with the normal pattern of renal maturation in which CIN, CPAH, and PAH Tm all increase with age.  It was concluded that pretreatment with penicillin stimulates the renal secretion of organic anions by the immature rat.

Los estudiantes del grupo experimental se seleccionaron siguiendo un muestreo aleatorio simple. Las pruebas estadísticas realizadas (Signos y Mann-Whitney) para contrastar los resultados iniciales y finales del grupo experimental y del grupo de control, mostraron que existe superioridad en los resultados finales lo cual evidencia la eficacia de las intervenciones realizadas con el “módulo de problemas resueltos”.
Raw deal: antagonism of Drosophila Jun N-terminal kinase signaling
Creators: name: Bates, Katherine L.
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Pathogenic
Antagonists

description: Many significant developmental and pathogenic processes require the Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling cascade. Using the powerful genetic model organism, Drosophila melanogaster, and specifically the morphogenetic event of embryonic dorsal closure, many components and regulators of the Drosophila JNK (DJNK) cascade have been identified and examined. Dorsal closure is a cell shape change driven event in which the lateral epidermis moves dorsally until the entire embryo is encased in epidermis. Genes required for dorsal closure are often identified by their characteristic mutant cuticular phenotype, a hole in the dorsal surface of the cuticle. For proper dorsal closure to occur, DJNK signaling is required in the dorsal-most epidermal cells, the leading edge (LE) cells. Study of the negative regulation of DJNK provides insight into the mechanism and management of this critical signaling cascade. Presented in this dissertation is the characterization of a novel antagonist of DJNK, raw. We find the function of Raw is to limit DJNK signaling to only the LE cells, and that Raw is required broadly in the epidermis to antagonize DJNK. These data establishes a new perspective for DJNK during dorsal closure, refining previous models of the activity of DJNK by suggesting the epidermis is broadly competent for DJNK and providing insight into the spatial restrictions of the DJNK initiating signal(s). Mechanistic studies of the raw group antagonists (raw, rib and puc) offer evidence that the raw group provides multiple tiers of DJNK regulation. Raw and Puc act independently and Raw and Rib may act together to antagonize DJNK signaling. Finally, Raw and Rib are the first described antagonists of DJNK that are not phosphatases. Continued investigation into the mechanism of Drosophila antagonists will open new areas of research into DJNK regulation. Further study of these novel DJNK antagonists will contribute to our knowledge of the regulation and mechanism of this key signaling pathway. These studies can be further utilized to establish models in which to study human disease processes that require JNK.

Tectonic versus volcanic origin of the summit depression at Medicine Lake Volcano, California
Creators: name: Gwynn, Mark Leon

Year: 2013
Subjects: caldera

description: Medicine Lake Volcano is a Quaternary shield volcano located in a tectonically complex and active zone at the transition between the Basin and Range Province and the Cascade Range of the Pacific Province. The volcano is topped by a 7x12 km elliptical depression surrounded by a discontinuous constructional ring of basaltic to rhyolitic lava flows. This thesis explores the possibility that the depression may have formed due to regional extension (rift basin) or dextral shear (pull-apart basin) rather than through caldera collapse and examines the relationship between regional tectonics and localized volcanism. Existing data consisting of temperature and magnetotelluric surveys, alteration mineral studies, and core logging were compiled and supplemented with additional core logging, field observations, and fault striae studies in paleomagnetically oriented core samples. These results were then synthesized with regional fault data from existing maps and databases. Faulting patterns near the caldera, extension directions derived from fault striae P and T axes, and three-dimensional temperature and alteration mineral models are consistent with slip across arcuate ring faults related to magma chamber deflation during flank eruptions and/or a pyroclastic eruption at about 180 ka. These results are not consistent with a rift or pull-apart basin. Limited subsidence can be attributed to the relatively small volume of ash-flow tuff released by the only known major pyroclastic eruption and is inconsistent with the observed topographic relief. The additional relief can be explained by constructional volcanism. Striae from unoriented and oriented core, augmented by striae measurements in outcrop suggest that Walker Lane dextral shear, which can be reasonably projected from the southeast, has probably propagated into the Medicine Lake area. Most volcanic vents across Medicine Lake Volcano strike northsouth, suggesting they are controlled by crustal weakness related to Basin and Range extension. Interaction of dextral shear, Basin and Range extension, and the zone of crustal weakness expressed as the Mount Shasta-Medicine Lake volcanic highland controlled the location and initiation of Medicine Lake Volcano at about 500 ka.
Influences of ethanol on simultaneous diffusion and metabolism of Beta-estradiol in skin

description: The influences of ethanol upon simultaneous diffusion and metabolism of beta-estradiol (E2beta) in skin have been systematically examined using a quantitative biophysical model approach. Baseline studies (in saline) with hairless mouse skin have been carried out using a two-chamber diffusion cell system. The strategy involved (a) considering a general three-layer skin model (stratum corneum, epidermis, and dermis), (b) considering three possible enzyme distributions (Model A: homogeneous enzyme distribution across both epidermis and dermis, Model B: homogeneous enzyme distribution in the epidermis, and Model C: homogeneous enzyme distribution in the 'basal cell layer' of the epidermis), and (c) carrying out a wide range of independent diffusion experiments so that a 'best' model may be deduced in which all of the experimental data are consistent with the model and a single set of transport and metabolism parameters. Analysis of all of the experimental data has demonstrated that Model C is superior to Model B and Model A. Two important effects of ethanol (at low concentration in aqueous media, < 35%) have been quantified for the 'symmetric' situation (i.e., identical ethanol/saline composition in both chambers). First, ethanol functions as a permeation enhancer for E2/beta and for E1 (metabolite). The second role played by ethanol in Eb2beta transport is an inhibitor of the enzymatic conversion of E2beta to E1. Experiments over a wide range of conditions have shown that, as in the case of the baseline studies (above), Model C also best describes the effects of ethanol on the simultaneous transport and metabolism of E[2beta in hairless mouse skin. A novel theoretical model/method has been developed to predict permeant transport across skin for the 'asymmetric' situation (i.e., ethanol/saline in the donor chamber and saline only in the receiver chamber) where there is significant cotransport of ethanol along with E2/beta. The method has successfully predicted effects of ethanol on the transport of ethanol and on the simultaneous diffusion and metabolism of E2/beta in hairless mouse skin using parameter values deduced from experiments conducted under 'symmetric' conditions. Finally, the experimental and theoretical methods developed with hairless mouse skin have been successfully applied to fresh human skin.

description: Corrosion in commonly used epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars has raised concern with its use and has increased interest in the use of alternative reinforcement including fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Glass FRP (GFRP) bars are a costcompetitive alternative in conditions where chloride-induced deterioration is an issue. There has been considerable research and code-writing effort towards using GFRP bars in construction of bridge deck and beam elements but these efforts are still somewhat limited with regards to the use of FRP bars in construction of column elements and particularly in the use of FRP-spiral confining hoops or spirals. Steel spiral reinforcement is commonly used in concrete columns for confinement and improvement of displacement ductility but little is known regarding the use of FRP-spiral reinforcement for confinement. The purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of the behavior and performance of FRP reinforcement for short as well as slender concrete columns, particularly FRP-spiral confining reinforcement, to better determine its viability as a potential construction alternative. Tests were conducted on nine circular concrete columns reinforced with internal GFRP-spirals and either steel, GFRP or a combination of steel and GFRP longitudinal bars. Axial load tests were conducted on both slender and short columns with loads placed at two eccentricities to observe the mode of failure, load capacity, and general behavior associated with different geometric and loading conditions. The test data is analyzed and a confinement model based on plasticity theory is derived to describe the axial strength and stress-strain relationship for FRP-spiralconfined circular columns. The confinement model is used to predict the momentcurvature relationship for FRP-spiral-confined circular columns. An analytical buckling model is developed, based on a numerical integration method, to describe the loaddeflection behavior for slender FRP-spiral-confined circular columns. Axial load and bending moment interaction diagrams are produced for FRPspiral-confined slender columns. The analytical buckling model is also used in parametric studies of large-scale slender columns to compare steel with FRP spirals in addition to other comparisons between reinforcement configurations and concrete compressive strength.

description: Developing faster Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) gradient systems is desirable for fast imaging pulse sequences. Because of their large size, reduced  efficiency, and higher inductance, system body gradient coils are limited in performance. This limitation can be reduced by designing proper local gradient coils. In this  dissertation, various types of local insert gradient coil designs, as well as their optimization and image correction techniques are investigated. Conventional method of designing planar gradient systems that uses twodimensional stream functions can be more computationally intensive than optimizing the one dimensional stream functions required for cylindrical gradients. In this dissertation, a novel planar gradient design method, which simplifies the twodimensional  planar gradient coil design problem to a faster and easier one-dimensional problem by using a conformal mapping technique. The simulated gradient filed maps  prove that the proposed gradient design technique creates same homogeneous gradient and works well throughout the imaging volume.

description: Some minute land snails lay disproportionally large eggs, and the reason is unknown. A possibility is the “Kiwi Syndrome”, in which natural selection pressures associated with low egg predation, heavy predation of the young, and a minimal viable size for hatchlings, force small females to invest in relatively large offspring at the cost of reduced fecundity.

Constructing social justice pedagogy: critical perspectives on pedagogical Praxis in the communication classroom
Creators: name: Mora, Juliane Marie
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Critical pedagogy
Social justice

description: This dissertation is a qualitative examination of the pedagogical practices of communication educators teaching college level courses with the goal of social justice. In particular, I focus on the strategies of self-identified social justice educators to understand what they are labeling social justice by examining the documents produced for their courses and interviewing them about their practices.  In the analysis, I identify ways that these particular educators define their work as a way of being in the world that goes beyond the base requirements for their job as well as how they describe it as an ongoing process with multiple steps. Additionally, I call attention to the specific manner in which they include social justice pedagogical tools in their communication classrooms and identify commonalities among them. They findings indicate that communication educators working for social justice through their classroom teaching do so by grounding the content material in the framework of a socially constructed reality that has consequences for bodies located at different places in the social hierarchy. This foundation allows them to further explore how the status quo is unequal, leading to injustice, and how communication instruction has the potential to impact students' agency and lead to social justice. I close with a discussion of how these findings add to our theoretical understanding of critical pedagogy, social constructionism, and the development of a discipline specific pedagogy for communication studies.

Vertical shear instability with dust evolution and consistent cooling times. On the importance of the initial dust distribution

description: Context. Gas in protoplanetary disks mostly cools via thermal accommodation with dust particles. Thermal relaxation is thus highly sensitive to the local dust size distributions and the spatial distribution of the grains. So far, the interplay between thermal relaxation and gas turbulence has not been dynamically modeled in hydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks with dust.
 Aims. We aim to study the effects of the vertical shear instability (VSI) on the thermal relaxation times, and vice versa. We are particularly interested in the influence of the initial dust grain size on the VSI and whether the emerging turbulence is sustained over long timescales.
 Results. We find that the emergence of the VSI is strongly dependent on the initial dust grain size. Coagulation also counteracts the emergence of hydrodynamic turbulence in our simulations, as shown by others before. Starting a simulation with larger grains (100 $μ$m) generally leads to a less turbulent outcome. While the inner disk regions (within $\sim$ 70 au) develop turbulence in all three simulations, we find that the simulations with larger particles do not develop VSI in the outer disk.
 Conclusions. Our simulations with dynamically calculated thermal accommodation times based on the drifting and settling dust distribution show that the VSI, once developed in a disk, can be sustained over long timescales, even if grain growth is occurring. The VSI corrugates the dust layer and even diffuses the smaller grains into the upper atmosphere, where they can cool the gas. Whether the instability can emerge for a specific stratification depends on the initial dust grain sizes and the initial dust scale height. If the grains are initially $\gtrsim$ 100 $μ$m and if the level of turbulence is initially assumed to be low, we find no VSI turbulence in the outer disk regions.

description: Turbulent superstructures in horizontally extended three-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection flows are investigated in controlled laboratory experiments in water at Prandtl number $Pr = 7$. A Rayleigh-Bénard cell with square cross-section, aspect ratio $Γ= l/h = 25$, side length $l$ and height $h$ is used. Three different Rayleigh numbers in the range $10^5 < Ra < 10^6$ are considered. The cell is accessible optically, such that thermochromic liquid crystals can be seeded as tracer particles to monitor simultaneously temperature and velocity fields in a large section of the horizontal mid-plane for long time periods of up to 6 h, corresponding to approximately $10^4$ convective free-fall time units. The joint application of stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and thermometry opens the possibility to assess the local convective heat flux fields in the bulk of the convection cell and thus to analyse the characteristic large-scale transport patterns in the flow. A direct comparison with existing direct numerical simulation data in the same parameter range of $Pr, Ra$ and $Γ$ reveals the same superstructure patterns and global turbulent heat transfer scaling $Nu(Ra)$. Slight quantitative differences can be traced back to violations of the isothermal boundary condition at the extended water-cooled glass plate at the top. The characteristic scales of the patterns fall into the same size range, but are systematically larger. It is confirmed experimentally that the superstructure patterns are an important backbone of the heat transfer. The present experiments enable, furthermore, the study of the gradual evolution of the large-scale patterns in time, which is challenging in simulations of large-aspect-ratio turbulent convection.

Genetic epidemiologic methods for common, complex diseases: application to cardiovascular disease

description: Historically, genes harboring causative mutations for rare Mendelian diseases have been relatively easy to identify. Recent attempts to discover the genetic causes of complex diseases that are relatively common in human populations have, however, not been as successful. The difficulties encountered in the genetic study of common diseases include problems with study design, study population, definition of phenotype, and statistical approach. Genetic studies of cardiovascular disease phenotypes provide a prime example of these problems. Specifically, coronary heart disease is a prevalent disease with multiple risk factors including many potential environmental and inherited contributors. Unfortunately, the deciphering of the genetic component for coronary disease has experienced many promising findings that have not been corroborated. The aims of this dissertation project were to evaluate genetic contributions to cardiovascular diseases, and coronary heart disease in particular, using large populations with well-defined phenotypes and well-characterized genetic factors, and to explore improved methods of genetic analysis that account for the complexity of genetics and environment. These aims were accomplished through application to the three primary areas of genetic epidemiology: population genetic analysis, linkage analysis of phenotypes to genetic loci, and candidate genes association analysis.
