description: We synthesize colloidal particles with various anisotropic shapes and track their orientationally resolved Brownian trajectories using confocal microscopy. An analysis of appropriate short-time correlation functions provides direct access to the hydrodynamic friction tensor of the particles revealing nontrivial couplings between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom. The results are consistent with calculations of the hydrodynamic friction tensor in the low-Reynolds-number regime for the experimentally determined particle shapes.

description: Objectif. Le service d’hématologie a fait face à une épidémie de Pseudomonas aeruginosa sécréteur de carbapénémase de type VIM-4. L’objectif est de partager l’expérience de la gestion d’une épidémie par un micro-organisme multirésistant d’origine environnementale au sein d’un centre hospitalier régional universitaire. Matériel et méthodes. Le service a une capacité de 39 lits. En 2017, quatre patients ont présenté une colonisation et quatre ont présenté une infection à Pseudomonas aeruginosa sécréteur de carbapénémase de type VIM-4. Résultats. Quatre patients sont décédés. Les souches des micro-organismes étaient identiques en termes de résistance. Des audits de pratiques ainsi que des investigations cliniques et environnementales ont été réalisés dès les premiers cas. Plusieurs mesures correctives ont été appliquées : des formations sur les précautions standard et complémentaires, l’entretien des locaux, l’hygiène des mains ainsi que la correction des dérives sur la gestion des excreta et la désinfection par voie aérienne à la sortie d’un patient porteur. Suite à des investigations environnementales, un prélèvement de siphon est revenu positif avec la même souche. Malgré la désinfection du siphon, un autre cas est survenu dans cette chambre qui a été alors fermée. Aucun nouveau cas d’origine environnementale n’a été découvert depuis. Conclusion. Devant l’apparition ponctuelle de cas, une transmission environnementale a fortement été suspectée. Le mécanisme de rétrocontamination via les siphons n’a pas encore été établi. Notre établissement a débuté la pose de siphons hygiéniques tout en limitant l’usage des biocides.

Efficient parallel coordinate descent algorithm for convex optimization problems with separable constraints: application to distributed MPC
Creators: name: Necoara, Ion
name: Clipici, Dragos
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we propose a parallel coordinate descent algorithm for solving smooth convex optimization problems with separable constraints that may arise e.g. in distributed model predictive control (MPC) for linear network systems. Our algorithm is based on block coordinate descent updates in parallel and has a very simple iteration. We prove (sub)linear rate of convergence for the new algorithm under standard assumptions for smooth convex optimization. Further, our algorithm uses local information and thus is suitable for distributed implementations. Moreover, it has low iteration complexity, which makes it appropriate for embedded control. An MPC scheme based on this new parallel algorithm is derived, for which every subsystem in the network can compute feasible and stabilizing control inputs using distributed and cheap computations. For ensuring stability of the MPC scheme, we use a terminal cost formulation derived from a distributed synthesis. Preliminary numerical tests show better performance for our optimization algorithm than other existing methods.

title: The effects of body orientation and humeral elevation angle on shoulder muscle activity and shoulder joint position sense
Creators: name: Sahlberg, Jordan Daniel
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of body tilt on shoulder muscle activity and repositioning accuracy during humeral elevation to three positions in the sagittal plane (70, 90 and 110 degrees). Thirty eight subjects underwent testing in an unconstrained joint position sense task. Kinematics were measured with a magnetic tracking device while muscle activation was measured with surface electromyography. The joint position sense task consisted of subjects moving their arms to a predetermined positing in space with the help of visual feedback from a head mounted display interfaced with the magnetic tracking device. Subjects were then asked to reproduce the presented shoulder position in the absence of visual feedback. The protocol was performed under two tilts: upright and back 90 degrees from vertical. This allowed for the comparison of joint position sense at the same elevation angles but different levels of shoulder muscle activation by altering the orientation of the subjects in the gravitational field. When comparing these two tilts we found that subjects matched with greater accuracy and precision at 90 and 110 degrees of elevation when they were upright (p < 0.05). We also found that anterior deltoid muscle activity was significantly greater at all three elevation angles in the upright condition. This data, when taken together support the hypothesis that unconstrained shoulder joint position sense is enhanced with increased muscular activation levels.

description: Abstract Purpose: The objective of the present study was to examine the association between infectious complications, length of stay (LOS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with craniosynostosis undergoing orthognathic surgery and facial bone repairs. Materials and Methods: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample for the years 2006-2014 was used and patient cohort was selected using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnosis codes for craniosynostosis. All patients with craniosynostosis undergoing orthognathic surgeries and/or facial bone repairs were selected for analysis. Independent variables included all patient and hospital level factors such as age, comorbid conditions, presence of sleep apnea, region and teaching status. The outcomes of interest included development of infectious complications, LOS and presence of OSA. Results: During the study period, 3420 patients with craniosynostosis were hospitalized for orthognathic surgery and/or facial bone repairs. The average age at admission was 10.5 years and the mean LOS was 14.3 days. Routine discharge occurred in 89.2% of patients and the majority of patients had elective admission (72%). Most patients were White (66.8%) with private insurance (58.5%) and underwent surgery in an urban teaching hospital (87.4%). The most common diagnosis and procedure were mandibular hypoplasia (59.6%) and mandibular osteoplasty (44.5%), respectively. Factors found to be significantly associated with increased LOS included presence of OSA, bacterial infection, viral infection, pneumonia, comorbid burden and type of procedure whereas increased age and elective admission were associated with decreased LOS (p

description: The number of women and underrepresented individuals working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields does not reflect the diversity of our societies. Even if children have an interest in STEM, they may not consider choosing a study or career in that direction if their perception is that they would not belong in science. This study examines the effects of a STEM lesson series aimed at inclusivity and diversity on children’s perception and sense of belonging in space science. Before and after the lesson series, children filled out a questionnaire aimed at eliciting their perception of space science and space scientists. After the lessons, a subsample of children was interviewed about the effects of the lesson series on the children’s perception and sense of belonging regarding space science. Six months after the last lesson took place, children from two classes filled out a short survey with open questions to measure retention. The results of this study showed that the lesson series had a significant impact on children’s perception of space scientists, and that the implementation of the lessons facilitated thinking about (a future in) space science. This lesson series has succeeded in changing children’s perception of space scientists as a diverse and international group of people.
A Superior Touch: A Socio-Technical Study of Humans, Robotic Surgical Assistants, and Touch
Creators: name: Archer, Jason
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study explores the co-construction of touch and technology using the da Vinci Surgical System (dVSS), a robotic surgical assistant (RSA), as a case study. It offers a sociotechnical and critical orientation to explore touch as developing between haptic engineers, surgical teams, and RSAs. It provides an analysis of data, applying a mixed qualitative methods approach, that includes observations in the operating room and the robotics training lab, hands-on experience, interviews with robotic surgeons, members of the surgical team, and haptic engineers, and an analysis of related documentation. The study finds that the dVSS reshapes the relational and power dynamics of touch in the OR through a series of contradictory socio-material negotiations. It flattens touch, situates vision as the primary mode of doing surgery, and shifts the locus of control to the robot. By providing ergonomic comfort and control, the surgeon is put in the care of the device and allowed to operate within the physical and visual constraints of a system that diminishes the skilled sensory work of surgical touch. Exploring the engineering of the da Vinci reveals a set of haptic ambiguities and sociotechnical translations that transform touch into chimera, reconfigure it as informatic, and treat it as untrustworthy. Haptic engineers reduce touch to forces, rending surgical touch as desirable but not essential. Finally, imaginaries about haptics and surgical robotic futures reinforce the nonnecessity of human touch in surgery, ultimately paving the way for surgeons to embrace the potential automation of surgery and the rise of a “superior” touch. These empirical findings help produce grounded theory about the co-construction of touch and technology that explain mundane and multi-agential forms of touch and suggests the way social and material aspects of touch are excluded through extension. These findings help conceptualize an emergent research orientation that centers touch for scholars in communication and media studies, human-computer interaction, and the medical humanities.

Linking Malocclusion, Diet, and Body Mass via Genetic Variants within the Hippo Signaling Pathway
Creators: name: Ramir, Tyler J
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background and Objective: Body Mass Index (BMI) has a profound effect on the body’s growth and development. A growing number of orthodontic patients are obese, and it is important to understand the role BMI can play in orthodontic treatment. The Hippo Signaling Pathway is a central regulator of both tissue homeostasis and organ size development. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how BMI and variations along the Hippo Signaling Pathway relate to craniofacial morphology as observed in lateral cephalograms. Findings: Higher BMI females show an increase in vertical dimensions of the mandible, increased FMA and increased gonial angles when compared to normal weight female subjects. Higher BMI females show a retrusive maxilla when compared to normal weight female subjects. Variations in FOXO6, TEAD3, TEAD4, MST1, LATS2 and RUNX2 show significant phenotypic differences in obese and normal weight female subjects. Significance for Practice: Obese patients may reach pubertal growth earlier in life leading to the need to render orthodontic treatment earlier in these patients. Understanding that growth may be completed earlier in obese patients may lead to earlier surgical interventions when needed. It is possible that overweight patients have constricted airways during growth and development which causes growth in a more vertical dimension. The variations in the Hippo signaling pathway indicate that there may be a genetic component to these phenotypes. It is important to understand the link between obesity, sleep apnea, and facial form to better diagnose, manage and treat these orthodontic patients.

What is the Best Residential Roof Assembly for the U.S. Desert Southwest, with Respect to Cost, Energy Efficiency and Embodied Energy Concerns
Creators: name: Carroll, John Joseph
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: The climate is continually changing for the worse as there are poor decisions being made in the rapidly constructed built environment. In an effort to reduce the impact on the built environment, the typical residential roof assemblies that are currently being used in the U.S. desert southwest are not the best for the environment. Through research and simulations, this
paper compares several residential roof assemblies to the standard code compliant construction and provides cost breakdowns of simple payback and cost of save energy for each of the simulated systems. A case study was also designed for the U.S. Department of Energy, Race to Zero Student Design Competition using the information of this paper. The case study verified that the results work for the climate and demonstrate that low energy use residential buildings in the U.S. Desert Southwest are possible. The results of this paper will allow designers to work toward the goal of creating net-zero energy housing.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We present evidence that for each ADE Lie group G there is an infinite tower of 4D N=2 SCFTs, which we label as D(G,s) (with s a positive integer), having (at least) flavor symmetry G. For G=SU(2), D(SU(2),s) coincides with the Argyres--Douglas model of type D_{s+1}, while for larger flavor groups the models are new (but for a few previously known examples). When its flavor symmetry G is gauged, D(G,s) contributes to the Yang-Mills beta-function as s/[2(s+1)] adjoint hypermultiplets. The argument is based on a combination of Type IIB geometric engineering and the categorical deconstruction of arXiv:1203.6743. One first engineers a class of N=2 models which, trough the analysis of their category of quiver representations, are identified as asymptotically-free gauge theories with gauge group G coupled to some conformal matter system. Taking the limit g->0 one isolates the matter SCFT which is our D(G,s).

Scaling Sustainability in Disability Dance
Creators: name: Bridger, Margaret
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The presence of disabled bodyminds in dance presents challenges to the function and production of repertoire, as well as traditional methods of conditioning the body to avoid pain and injury in dance training and choreography. Whereas repertory models of mainstream dance presume that dancing bodies function similarly and are therefore essentially interchangeable, these methods of movement and knowledge transfer must shift in order for the field of disability dance, built to fit the unique embodiments of its dancers, to sustain itself. Additionally, though mainstream dance demands that dancers train their bodies to reduce the possibility of pain or injury, disabled dancing bodyminds often already experience pain and injury that might signal the end of a performer’s career in mainstream dance. This thesis uses a close reading the disability aesthetics employed by two 3Arts Resident Fellows at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Ginger Lane and Kris Lenzo, as well as my own embodied engagement with their work, to explore the tensions and possibilities between these two scales of sustainability in disability dance – that of the field and that of the bodymind. Drawing on work across dance studies, disability studies and performance studies, this critical theory project leverages a critique of normative practices in mainstream dance in order to imagine a sustainable disability dance field that passes repertoires of knowledge from bodymind to bodymind while insisting on the artistic value of pained, injured and aging bodyminds in the dancemaking process.

Analysis of Resting-State Functional Connectomes Based on the Graph Embedding Pipeline Rest2vec
Creators: name: Castelbuono, Salvatore
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Resting-state functional connectomics has risen as a novel way for assessing the interactions between brain regions. This discipline aims to study connectomes, complex maps that describe the set of functional connections within the brain, to understand how different areas are functionally correlated during rest. To this end, spontaneous fluctuations in neural activity can be used to determine the functional macro-scale topology of the human brain. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging has been employed to analyze the endogenous neural activity. The quantification of the correlation between Blood Oxygenated Level Dependant (BOLD) timeseries of different brain regions may be employed to evaluate the relationships between different regions. Graph theory models have been applied to analyze the brain as a complex network, but several challenges still remain. Functional connectomes are high dimensional data mathematically described as graphs, in which the regions are considered as nodes and the correlations are referred to as edges. This characteristic may cause phenomena related to the "curse of dimensionality". Moreover, the meaning of negative correlations is still unclear, and they are often not considered in simpler models. Thus, the novel graph embedding method rest2vec has been developed to address these issues. Rest2vec uses a phase angle representation, the Phase Angle Spatial Embedding (PhASE) framework, to model the correlation between regions, considering both negative and positive edges, linked with a nonlinear dimensionality reduction method (Isomap) to map brain regions into a low-dimensional functional embedding, in which regions are defined according to their functional organization. This work aimed to apply rest2vec to analyze the functional connectivity information of a dataset of healthy subject, obtained by processing rs-fMRI data provided by the Human Connectome Project. The Glasser cortical atlas was used as brain parcellation, which allowed to evaluate the representation of biological-relevant patterns in the embedding space, comparing them to previously identified subnetworks. Moreover, a binary gradient-based partition was performed by using maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) as metric to assign the regions to one of module. This approach has outlined two subsets resembling the putative task-positive and task-negative network. Finally, the functional connectivity of different groups was compared using the PhASE framework, outlining statistically significant differences related to gender and age.

description: We report the fabrication of back-gated field-effect transistors (FETs) using ultra-thin, mechanically exfoliated MoSe2 flakes. The MoSe2 FETs are n-type and possess a high gate modulation, with On/Off ratios larger than 106. The devices show asymmetric characteristics upon swapping the source and drain, a finding explained by the presence of Schottky barriers at the metal contact/MoSe2 interface. Using four-point, back-gated devices we measure the intrinsic conductivity and mobility of MoSe2 as a function of gate bias, and temperature. Samples with a room temperature mobility of ~50 cm2/V.s show a strong temperature dependence, suggesting phonons are a dominant scattering mechanism.

description: Precise and elegant coordination of a prosthesis across many degrees of freedom represents a significant challenge to efficient rehabilitation of people with limb deficiency. Processing the electrical neural signals, collected from the surface of the remnant muscles of the stump, is a common way to initiate and control the different movements available to the artificial limb. Based on the assumption that there are distinguishable and repeatable signal patterns among different types of muscular activation, the problem of the prosthesis control reduces to one of pattern recognition. Widely accepted classical methods for pattern recognition, however, cannot provide simultaneous and proportional control of the artificial limb. Here we show that, in principle, quantum information processing of the neural signals allows us to overcome the above-mentioned difficulties suggesting a very simple scheme for myoelectric control of artificial limb with advanced functionalities.

description: Stripe domains are studied in perpendicular magnetic anisotropy films nanostructured with a periodic thickness modulation that induces the lateral modulation of both stripe periods and inplane magnetization. The resulting system is the 2D equivalent of a strained superlattice with properties controlled by interfacial misfit strain within the magnetic stripe structure and shape anisotropy. This allows us to observe, experimentally for the first time, the continuous structural transformation of a grain boundary in this 2D magnetic crystal in the whole angular range. The magnetization reversal process can be tailored through the effect of misfit strain due to the coupling between disclinations in the magnetic stripe pattern and domain walls in the in-plane magnetization configuration.

The Relationship between Motivation to Use Airbnb and Guests' Repurchase Intention: Moderating Effect of Consideration Set
Creators: name: Jiang, Wen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: With the rise of the peer-to-peer sharing economy, Airbnb has become the leading platform as an online marketplace that allows homeowners to contract short-term leases or rents to tourists. It has expanded rapidly around the globe. This study comprehensively reviews previous literature with respect to the marketing of Airbnb. The study then summarized and categorized 12 motivators linked as causative agents for guests choosing Airbnb. Using the push-pull theory, along with research on the consideration set, this study examines the relationships between Airbnb motivators and guests' repurchase intention. This study further examines how the consideration set moderates these relationships.
Seventy-eight Airbnb guests were surveyed using a paper-based survey questionnaire in a pilot study. It shows that 13 factors were identified in principal component analysis. In the main study, a sample of 397 complete usable surveys were collected from an online platform. Supporting predictions, all motivators significantly predict repurchase intention. However, contrary to predictions, consideration set did not moderate the relationship between motivators and repurchase intention. The study's theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

description: We give a functional analytic construction of the fermionic projector on a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold of finite lifetime. The integral kernel of the fermionic projector is represented by a two-point distribution on the manifold. By introducing an ultraviolet regularization, we get to the framework of causal fermion systems. The connection to the "negative-energy solutions" of the Dirac equation and to the WKB approximation is explained and quantified by a detailed analysis of closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Bioactive Complexes, Nanoparticles and Polymers

description: In this thesis, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to design inhibitors against viral pathogens, examine drug delivery systems and model dynamical nano-systems. Peptide based inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 were designed by mimicking ACE2 (cellular receptor of SARS-CoV-2). MD simulations revealed that inhibitors with double α-helix bundle could provide specific geometry matching to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. The sequence of inhibitors can be evolved by a newly designed computational algorism to provide specificity to different strains. Protein based boosters were also designed aiming to trigger the immune reaction to SARS-CoV-2. The binding efficiencies of those boosters were examined by MD simulations. In collaboration with different experimental groups, various heparan sulfate (HS) mimics designed in their labs were examined through MD simulations to study the atomistic details of the coupling between HS mimics and viral proteins, where multivalent binding modes were found to dominate the enhanced affinity. The corresponding virucidal mechanisms were proposed based on calculations of free energy of binding. Polymers forming aggregates or micelles, synthesized in our collaborator’s lab, were also studied in atomistic details about their membrane permeability and serum stability, where the interactions between polymers and their targets were quantified. In addition to bio-related systems, nanomaterial systems were also designed and studied. Stretch healable nanofibers composed of coronene (or) perfluorocoronene molecules were designed and tested by MD simulations. Intermolecular interactions interpreted by ab initio calculations were found to be the driving factor in the self-assembly of nanofibers. The intermolecular interactions were also the key factors in determining the reaction rates of the slider-track systems and ligand effects of functionalized gold nanoparticle systems in other collaborative projects.

description: We consider the class of languages defined in the 2-variable fragment of the first-order logic of the linear order. Many interesting characterizations of this class are known, as well as the fact that restricting the number of quantifier alternations yields an infinite hierarchy whose levels are varieties of languages (and hence admit an algebraic characterization). Using this algebraic approach, we show that the quantifier alternation hierarchy inside FO^{2}[

Dynamic Networks: Learning and Decision Making

description: Several daily phenomena around us can be modeled as time-evolving networks. Working with expressive and tractable models for the evolution of such networks can improve different prediction and decision-making tasks. While the literature has studied many approaches to model such networked phenomena partially, multiple gaps remain. This thesis is an effort to propose novel and scalable models and methods that capture temporal and spatial aspects of graph-structured data. We study three problems that involve dynamic networks and introduce new approaches to learn/optimize them. First, we focus on community detection and link prediction tasks in dynamic graphs. We propose efficient statistical inference algorithms for graph sequences by extending models and methods available for Stochastic Block Models. Next, we explicitly model the network effect in pricing products in a multi-stage decision-making setting. Under different scenarios, we develop pricing strategies that exploit social learning mechanisms to increase product adoption and firm revenue. Finally, we incorporate a knowledge graph that encodes item relationships into a temporal recommendation architecture via a suitable attention mechanism. Our approach improves the learning of user and item representations, especially for sparse datasets.

Environment Induced Time Arrow and the Closed Time Path method

description: It is shown in the framework of a harmonic system that the thermodynamical time arrow is induced by the environmental initial conditions in a manner similar to spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Closed Time Path formalism is introduced in classical mechanics to handle Green functions for initial condition problems by the action principle, in a systematic manner. The application of this scheme for quantum systems shows the common dynamical origin of the thermodynamical and the quantum time arrows. It is furthermore conjectured that the quantum-classical transition is strongly coupled.

Running the Risks: Drug Use, Psychosocial Issues, Internet Use, and Sex in Minority Gay and Bisexual Men

description: The United States is approaching the fourth decade of the HIV epidemic. Nearly 1.1 million individuals are infected with HIV and nearly one in five of those infected are unaware. Existing epidemiological data also suggest that gay or bisexual men and transgender women (GBT) are at highest risk for infection. The overall purpose of this research is to investigate HIV risk factors like Internet use, substance use, psychosocial issues, and sexual behavior in ethnic minority GBT individuals. This is accomplished by three individual studies involving different aspects of HIV risk in African American and Latino GBT populations. In addition, these studies also assess how the many factors of HIV risk that deal with substance use, psychosocial issues, and sexual behavior are oftentimes interconnected, structural, and societal. Each of the studies found sex while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol reported by the respondents. The link among substance use and sexual risk is already known, but these studies demonstrated unique aspects to this relationship. Each of these studies also demonstrated that Internet sex-seeking, homosexual stigma, self-esteem, and sexual scripts may have relationships that impact unprotected anal intercourse, number of sex partners, and sex while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. In addition, these studies suggest that Internet sex-seeking remained a popular practice among ethnic minority GBT individuals and very likely served as a pathway to HIV risk behavior. In total, the knowledge from each of these three studies adds to the current HIV prevention compendium and will hopefully assist in future efforts at reducing new infections.
