description: We present a self-supervised approach for learning to predict traversable paths for wheeled mobile robots that require good traction to navigate. Our algorithm, termed WayFAST (Waypoint Free Autonomous Systems for Traversability), uses RGB and depth data, along with navigation experience, to autonomously generate traversable paths in outdoor unstructured environments. Our key inspiration is that traction can be estimated for rolling robots using kinodynamic models. Using traction estimates provided by an online receding horizon estimator, we are able to train a traversability prediction neural network in a self-supervised manner, without requiring heuristics utilized by previous methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of WayFAST through extensive field testing in varying environments, ranging from sandy dry beaches to forest canopies and snow covered grass fields. Our results clearly demonstrate that WayFAST can learn to avoid geometric obstacles as well as untraversable terrain, such as snow, which would be difficult to avoid with sensors that provide only geometric data, such as LiDAR. Furthermore, we show that our training pipeline based on online traction estimates is more data-efficient than other heuristic-based methods.

description: Chromo-natural inflation (CNI) is an inflationary model where an axion coupled with SU$(2)$ gauge fields acts as the inflaton. In CNI, the gauge fields have nonzero vacuum expectation values (VEVs), which results in the enhancement of gravitational waves (GWs). The original CNI is ruled out by the Planck observations due to the overproduction of GWs. In this work, we consider an inflationary model where the gauge fields acquire nonzero VEVs after the CMB modes exit the horizon. Moreover, we add to the model another field that dominates the universe and drives inflation after the axion starts to oscillate and the gauge field VEVs vanish. By performing numerical simulations, we find a parameter space where the enhanced GWs do not violate the CMB constraints and can be detected by the future GWs observations such as BBO and ET.

description: One of the key challenges in high speed off road navigation on ground vehicles is that the kinodynamics of the vehicle terrain interaction can differ dramatically depending on the terrain. Previous approaches to addressing this challenge have considered learning an inverse kinodynamics (IKD) model, conditioned on inertial information of the vehicle to sense the kinodynamic interactions. In this paper, we hypothesize that to enable accurate high-speed off-road navigation using a learned IKD model, in addition to inertial information from the past, one must also anticipate the kinodynamic interactions of the vehicle with the terrain in the future. To this end, we introduce Visual-Inertial Inverse Kinodynamics (VI-IKD), a novel learning based IKD model that is conditioned on visual information from a terrain patch ahead of the robot in addition to past inertial information, enabling it to anticipate kinodynamic interactions in the future. We validate the effectiveness of VI-IKD in accurate high-speed off-road navigation experimentally on a scale 1/5 UT-AlphaTruck off-road autonomous vehicle in both indoor and outdoor environments and show that compared to other state-of-the-art approaches, VI-IKD enables more accurate and robust off-road navigation on a variety of different terrains at speeds of up to 3.5 m/s.
The metabolism and plasma concentrations of L-alpha-acetylmethadol and its metabolites in man.
Creators: name: Finkle, Bryan Smith
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Pharmacology
Methodone

description: The plasma disposition of L-alpha-acetylmethadol (LAAM) and its two active metabolites, nor-LAAM and dinor-LAAM, has been determined in 12 human subjects as part of a controlled clinical pharmacological study.  LAAM was administered orally three times per week for ten doses, ranging from 0.73 mg/kg to 1.51 mg/kg (80 mg doses), with five subjects receiving 1.0 mg/kg.  Plasma concentrations were followed at short intervals after the first three and last doses and for a total of approximately 1000 hr, where possible.  A new quantitative, specific, and very sensitive analytical method was developed for the study and is reported in detail.  The method involves organic solvent extraction, amide-derivative formation of the metabolites, and gas chromatography-chemical ionization-multiple ion monitoring-quadrupole mass spectrometry, with methane as carrier and ammonia as reagent gases.  Deuterated stable isotopes of LAAM and the two metabolites are used as internal standards.  The method has quantitative sensitivity to 5 ng/ml for a 2.0 ml plasma sample with 10-15% accuracy and precision.  For the range used in the study, the dose of LAAM is not a critical variable with respect to ultimate plasma concentrations achieved and cannot be used to predict maximum concentrations or the possibility of drug or metabolite accumulation.  The mean time taken to reach maximum plasma concentration after the first dose of LAAM was 4.4 hr; for nor-LAAM, 5.6 hr; and for dinor-LAAM, 6.6 hr.  There was no change in these values after the tenth and final dose.  Maximum concentrations after the first dose varied from 52 to 510 ng/ml for LAAM; 65-175 ng/ml for nor-LAAM; and 11-92 ng/ml for dinor-LAAM.  Three subjects continuously accumulated LAAM and both metabolites; these three plus two others accumulated LAAM, and the five plus one other accumulated dinor-LAAM.  The other six subjects reached plateau concentrations after the anticipated 4-5 half-lives of elimination.  The mean half-lives in hours were LAAM t1/2alpha 2.4, t1/2beta 37.5 (first dose), t1/2beta 46.8 (last dose); nor-LAAM, t1/2beta 38.2 (first dose), t1/2beta 64.6 (last dose); dinor-LAAM, t1/2beta 168 (last dose).  The maximum plasma concentrations increased over the ten-dose period by a factor of approximately 2.0 for LAAM, 2.0-4.0 for nor-LAAM, and 4.0-10.0 for dinor-LAAM.  The t1/2beta for LAAM was independent of dose throughout the study, and the plasma concentration-time-course profiles are generally consistent with a two-compartment, first-order kinetic model.

Reasons people use herbal remedies in conjunction with modern medicine
Creators: name: McGregor, Mary Joy
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Therapeutic Use
Self Medication

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate people's stated reasons for using herbal remedies (in conjunction with modern medicine), to treat or prevent illness, and to investigate if people share their practices with medical care providers and, if not, stated reasons for silence. Fifty self-questionnaires were completed; of those, 5 subjects participated in personal interviews. Descriptive data were analyzed using raw numbers and percentages. The most prevalent reasons expressed by informants for using herbal remedies were (a) a need to be in control of their health and medical needs, (b) a trend toward mistrust of the medical establishment, (c) the high cost of medications and doctor visits, (d) concern with preventive medicine, and (e) a desire for a natural approach toward medical care. They also believed that herbs were safer to use than manufactured drugs. Reasons for not telling care providers about the use of herbal remedies included a fear of being laughed at, a perception that physicians are not interested in herbs, and a judgment that physicians do not listen to patients' concerns. Further research should be conducted to determine the best approach to promote trust between the care provider and the patient.

description: We show that an $L_\infty$-algebra can be extended to a graded Hopf algebra with a codifferential. Then we twist this extended $L_\infty$-algebra with a Drinfel'd twist, simultaneously twisting its modules. Taking the $L_\infty$-algebra as its own (Hopf) module, we obtain the recently proposed braided $L_\infty$-algebra. The Hopf algebra morphisms are identified with the strict $L_\infty$-morphisms, while the braided $L_\infty$-morphisms define a more general $L_\infty$-action of twisted $L_\infty$-algebras.

The Modulatory Role of Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors on Peripheral Inflammation
Creators: name: Osborne, Amber Valeria
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Nicotine Receptors
Inflammation

description: This dissertation examines the relationship between inflammatory cytokines and  nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). WT and nAChRa7 null mice were exposed  to 4.8kJ/m2 of UVB on a standardized area of back skin. This dose of UVB caused the  skin to be visibly inflamed 48 hours after exposure; at this point the back skin was  removed and analyzed for inflammatory cytokines. Production of IL-lp and IL-6, but not  TNFa was significantly increased in a 7 null mice. Further, H&E stained skin sections  revealed greater edema in mice lacking a7. Production of SOCS3, a negative regulator of  cytokines, was decreased in inflamed skin from a7 null mice, suggesting a potential  mechanism by which a7 could regulate cytokine production. The induction of IL-1(3 and  IL-6 in skin by UVB was inhibited in mice first exposed to y-irradiation, suggesting that  rapidly dividing cells that infiltrate the inflamed skin were responsible for the measured  cytokine production. To further identify the types of cells infiltrating the skin following  an inflammatory stimulus, croton oil was applied to mouse ears and infiltrating cells were  isolated following the separation of dorsal and ventral ear flaps. Mice lacking a7 had a  significant increase in the total number of recruited cells as well as increased expression  of IL-lp, IL-6 and TNFa by infiltrating cells. The cells infiltrating the inflamed site were  determined to be CD1 lb+ Ly6g+ neutrophils and CD1 lb+ F4/80+ macrophages by  FACS analysis. Further, it was determined that chemokines which recruit neutrophils  and macrophages, such as CXCL2, CXCL5 and CCL3 were all also increased in a7 null mice. Inhibiting the p38 MAP Kinase signaling pathway in WT and a 7 null primary  macrophage cultures decreased the LPS induced expression of cytokines and  chemokines. The reciprocal effect of cytokines on nicotinic receptors was also  investigated. It was determined that treatment of transfected HEK293 cells with TNFa  induces enhanced upregulation of the high affinity nicotine binding receptor a4p2.  Treatment of these cells with a p38 MAP Kinase inhibitor blocks the TNFa enhanced  upregulation. Collectively, these data demonstrate a relationship between nicotinic  receptors and inflammatory cytokines and the involvement of the p38 MAP Kinase  pathway.

Flow cytometric exploration of biomarkers in patients suffering from hypereosinophilic syndrome
Creators: name: Price, Travis Miles
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
Mepolizumab
Treatments

description: Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), first defined by Cushid et al. in 1975, is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by striking eosinophilia with damage to a variety of organs. Studies have shown eosinophilia in a large portion of HES patients to be the result of an overproduction of interleukin 5 (IL-5) by T-helper 2 (Th2) cells. IL-5 is the most significant eosinophilopoetic cytokine and plays a crucial role in production, migration, activation and survival of eosinophils. This understanding led researchers to develop an antibody directed against IL-5 as a novel approach to HES treatment. Initial studies utilizing this anti-IL-5 antibody, known as mepolizumab, have shown it to be extremely effective at rapidly reducing blood and tissue eosinophil counts with remarkably few side effects.  Although the positive results of mepolizumab treatment are evident, the exact mechanisms of effectiveness, as well as the cellular response to the drug, remain unclear. The primary aim of this thesis was to study the effects of mepolizumab treatment on monocyte and granulocyte populations. To accomplish this, leukocytes obtained from patients receiving placebo, patients receiving mepolizumab and a control group were immunofluorescently stained using a variety of cell surface antigen specific antibodies conjugated to four different fluorophores. After staining, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry and these data were collected and evaluated to assess potential differences as a result of mepolizumab treatment. The objective was to identify significant abnormal populations or surface antigen differences among the three patient groups.  Clinically significant differences were not observed among the three patient groups and antigen biomarker expression considered abnormal for monocytes or granulocytes were not discovered, leading to the following conclusions. First, clear explanations for the heterogeneity of hypereosinophilic syndrome, as well as differentiating characteristics of disease subgroups do not appear to lie within monocyte and granulocyte populations, when evaluated using selected study biomarkers.   Second, the lack of cellular biological modification among the three patient groups supports the hypothesis that mepolizumab may be a safe and effective treatment option for patients suffering from hypereosinophilic syndrome.
A RETROCAVAL RIGHT TESTICULAR ARTERY SUPPLYING THE RIGHT SUPRARENAL GLAND AND THE WALL OF THE INFERIOR VENA CAVA WITH AN UNUSUAL ORIGIN FROM THE ABDOMINAL AORTA

description: The testicular arteries are one of the paired branches of the abdominal aorta being the male homologues of the ovarian arteries of females. There are a number of reports about the variation of the origin and course of these arteries. In this case the right testicular artery is found to unusually arise from the abdominal aorta above the renal arteries, and runs behind the inferior vena cava (retrocaval) providing branches to the right suprarenal gland and the wall of the inferior vena cava. This was detected in a 55 years old male cadaver during the routine dissection program of undergraduate medical students in the Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar. Such a case, though rare, could be of vital nephrosurgical importance.

Study of lactose in human colostrum transitional and mature milk

Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Breast Milk
Lactose in the Body

description: The purpose of this study was to analyze the lactose content in human colostrum, transitional, and mature milk, including predelivery colostrum.  A review of literature showed that most studies reporting the constituents of human milk were done 20 years ago.  The majority reported average lactose levels in the mature milk of many women. Pew studies have been done on the day-to-day changes in an individual mother's milk throughout the course of lactation or of the predelivery secretions.  Two normal, healthy women were selected as subjects for this study.  Milk samples were collected daily from approximately 2 weeks prior to delivery until 5 weeks following delivery.  Prior to delivery total colostrum was expressed from both breasts every 8 hours and pooled for a 2lj.-hour specimen.  This same procedure was carried out following delivery, but with samples of fore" and "hind" milk expressed from each breast.  Lactose content was determined using the method of Polin and Wu (1920).  The results of this investigation showed values of lactose similar to those reported in earlier studies.  The major difference was in the values of the predelivery colostrum.  Both subjects demonstrated higher levels of lactose during this period than were reported by other investigators.  In addition, the lactose content varied considerably, not only between subjects but from day to day in the same subject.  A sharp rise in lactose content was observed in both subjects between 12 and 7 days prior to delivery.  The subject who generally demonstrated higher lactose levels before delivery reached her mature level earlier than did the other subject.  Both subjects showed a steady increase in the lactose content from predelivery colostrum to mature milk. Variations between subjects and from day to day in the same subject became less as the milk matured.

description: Most of the dideoxynucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors used for treating HIV infection in humans exhibit very low central nervous system (CNS) uptake due to unknown reason(s). A clear understanding of the factors governing the CNS uptake of these dideoxynucleosides and new strategies to enhance their CNS uptake are needed to fully eradicate HIV infection and to treat AIDS dementia complex in patients with AIDS. An initial aim of this thesis is to examine the relative contributions of metabolism by purine salvage pathway enzymes localized in the CNS, namely, purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and adenosine deaminase (ADA), to the low CNS uptake of dideoxynucleosides which are substrates for these enzymes. Exploration of brain uptake using microdialysis was shown to be unreliable for studying transport of relatively hydrophillic molecules due to damage to the BBB during microdialysis probe insertion. Therefore, classical methods were employed in all brain uptake experiments. Further studies demonstrated that PNP does not play an important role in the CNS uptake of 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (ddI), probably due to its low affinity for ddI. On the other hand, 2sp/prime-fluoro-2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (FddA), a new anti-HN agent, is metabolized by brain tissue localized ADA resulting in the low CNS concentration of this compound. Inhibition of ADA present in the brain tissues significantly increases the CNS levels of F-ddA. Although ADA localized in the brain tissue prevents the entry of F-ddA into the CNS, its presence has been used productively to enhance the CNS uptake of other dideoxynucleosides. 6-chloro-2',3'-dideoxypurine (6-Cl-ddP), an ADA activated prodrug of ddI, provides 10-fold higher CNS concentrations of ddI compared to ddI controls after intravenous infusions. Unfortunately, the oral bioavailability of 6-Cl-ddP was determined in this study to be only 7% in rats due to its presystemic bioconversion to ddI by ADA present in the intestinal wall. A final aim of this thesis was to design approaches to enhance the intestinal absorption of ADA activated prodrugs without affecting their systemic or brain tissue bioconversion. Using in situ intestinal perfusions in rats with mesenteric cannulation combined with in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of a potent inhibitor of ADA, erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)-adenine, a strategy was devised which may prove effective in inhibiting almost all intestinal ADA with only minimal inhibition of systemic ADA. Hence, the local inhibition approach may be used to enhance the oral delivery of brain-tissue activated prodrugs of anti-HIV agents.

description: Working within the Standard Model effective field theory approach, we examine the possibility to test charged lepton flavour violating (cLFV) new physics (NP) by angular measurements of the outgoing electron and positrons in the polarised $μ^{+}\to e^{+}e^{+}e^{-}$ decay. This decay is planned to be studied with a sensitivity to the branching ratio of $B_{μ\to3e}\sim 10^{-15}$ by the Mu3e experiment at PSI. To illustrate the potential of these measurements, we consider a set of eight effective operators generating the decay at the tree level, including dimension-five dipole operators and dimension-six scalar and vector four-fermion operators of different chiralities. We show that if the polarised $μ^{+}\to e^{+}e^{+}e^{-}$ decay is observed and is induced by a single operator, data from three angular observables - two P-odd asymmetries and one T-odd asymmetry - can allow to discriminate between all considered operators with the exception of scalar and vector operators of opposite chirality. For these two types of operators, the P-odd asymmetry is maximal in magnitude; they can be distinguished, in principle, by measuring the helicities of the outgoing positrons. The observation of a non-zero T-odd asymmetry would indicate the presence in the decay rate of a dipole and vector operator interference term that is T (CP) violating.

description: Time-dependent control of superconducting quantum circuits is a prerequisite for building scalable quantum hardware. The quantum description of these circuits is complicated due to the electromotive force (emf) induced by time-varying magnetic fields. Here, we examine how the emf modifies the fractional Josephson effect. We show that a time-varying flux introduces a new term that depends on the geometry of both the circuit and the applied magnetic field. This term can be probed via current and charge measurements in closed-loop and open-circuit geometries. Our results refine the current understanding of how to properly describe time-dependent control of topological quantum circuits.

description: Riedel’s thyroiditis is a very rare fibro inflammatory disease of the thyroid gland of an unknown etiology. We describe this rare disease in a 40 year old Ethiopian woman who presented with a painful anterior neck swelling. With a suspicion of thyroid gland malignancy, the patient underwent a subtotal thyroidectomy. The histopathologic examination showed dense fibrous replacement of the thyroid gland and a diagnosis of Riedel’s thyroiditis was confirmed. This is the first documented case of Riedel’s thyroiditis in Ethiopia and we recommend the disease should be in the list of differential diagnosis of a thyroid mass which is hard with fixation to the surrounding structures. Additionally surgery should be considered to make a histologic diagnosis and relieve compressive symptoms.

description: It is believed that millisecond pulsars attain their fast spins by accreting matter and angular momentum from companion stars. Theoretical modelling of the accretion process suggests a spin-up line in the period-period derivative ($P$-$\dot{P}$) diagram of millisecond pulsars, which plays an important role in population studies of radio millisecond pulsars and accreting neutron stars in X-ray binaries. Here we present observational evidence for such a spin-up line using a sample of 143 radio pulsars with $P$ < 30 ms. We also find that PSRs~J1823$-$3021A and J1824$-$2452A, located near the classic spin-up line, are consistent with the broad population of millisecond pulsars. Finally, we show that our approach of Bayesian inference can probe accretion physics, allowing constraints to be placed on the accretion rate and the disk-magnetosphere interaction.

description: Background and aim: Opportunistic protozoan infections are among the most serious infections in patients with AIDS. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ART on opportunistic intestinal protozoan infections in HIV/AIDS patients. Patients and Methods: HIV/AIDS patients that had not begun ART and those that were on-ART at Nekemte Hospital, West Ethiopia were included. Stool specimens were collected from 296 HIV/AIDS patients (94 pre-ART and 202 on-ART) and processed using modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining for Cryptosporidium parvum and Isospora belli and Uvitex-2B staining method for microsporidia. CD4+ T-cell count was determined by using FACS analysis or flow cytometry. Results: Out of the 296 study participants examined, 41 (13.9 %) and 14 (4.7 %) were positive for intestinal cryptosporidiosis and isosporiosis, respectively. Enterocytozoon bieneusi was detected in 7(4.8%) of the 145 participants examined. C. parvum 17(21.3%), I. belli 8(10%) and microsporidia 5(11.6%) were more common in pre-ART diarrhoeal patients than those on-ART. The prevalence of cryptosporidiosis, isosporiosis and microsporidiosis among pre-ART study participants was significantly higher than those on-ART (P<0.05). A large majority of diarrhoeal AIDS patients infected with intestinal cryptosporidiosis and isosporiosis were in stage III of the WHO HIV/AIDS staging. An increase in CD4+ T-cell count was observed with increase in the number of months of ART. Conclusion: The results of this study show that intervention with HAART decreases the prevalence of opportunistic intestinal protozoan parasites by improving the immune status of the patients and hence would enhance the health and well-being of HIV/ AIDS patients under the Ethiopian nutritional and health service system.

description: Background: Child sexual abuse (CSA) is known to be an ever increasing problem across nations. The situation in Ethiopia is even tragic and subtle in that it is concealed in various harmful traditional practices. This study attempts to examine the psychosocial effects of CSA through early marriage, rape and child prostitution. Methods: The data were collected from a randomly selected 80 respondents in Addis Ababa. a pre-tested structured interview schedule was employed to collect the quantitative data. This was also substantiated with a qualitative case study. The quantitative data were analysed using SPSS for windows version 11. Results: It was found out that the respondents experienced various sorts of negative psychosocial problems as survivors of early marriage, rape and child prostitution. These include sadness 53 (66%) in all the forms of CSA, worthlessness and negative self-esteem 39(49%) in the survivors of early marriage and child prostitution, hatred of males (53%) as well as hopelessness and helplessness (48%) in rape survivors. A statistically significant association was found between early sexuality and such background variables as level of literacy (p < 0.05), religious affiliation (p < 0.001) and regional affiliation (p < 0.01) of the respondents. Conclusion: Age at first marriage and at the inevitable sexual engagement was by far less than the age set by any legal documents currently available in Ethiopia. In addition, the perceived situation of being child prostitute, rape survivor and early married resulted in various degrees of negative psychosocial effects. Finally, the importance of family planning and health education, promoting girls’ education, provision of assertiveness training to girls, and other strategies are recommended.

description: We theoretically study the collective excitations of a spin-orbit-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate with antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interactions in a cigar-shaped trapping potential at zero and finite temperatures using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with Popov approximation. The collective modes at zero temperature are corroborated by the real-time evolution of the ground state subjected to a perturbation suitable to excite a density or a spin mode. We have also calculated a few low-lying modes analytically and found a very good agreement with the numerical results. We confirm the presence of excitations belonging to two broad categories, namely density, and spin excitations, based on the calculation of dispersion. The degeneracy between a pair of spin modes is broken by the spin-orbit coupling. At finite temperature, spin and density excitations show qualitatively different behavior as a function of temperature.
