Application of emulsion-based delivery system to enhance bioavailability and efficacy of tangeretin
Creators: name: Ting, Yuwen

Year: 2014

description: Tangeretin (5,6,7,8,4′-pentamethoxyflavone) is a polymethoxylated flavone found predominantly in citrus fruit peels. Numerous bio-functionalities have previously been reported for tangeretin. For chronic intakes, oral ingestion is typically the preferred method since it is the most convenient and non-invasive application route. However, tangeretin exhibits poor oral bioavailability as a result of its hydrophobic chemical structure. Consequently, the required tangeretin oral dosage for many intended therapeutic purposes is difficult to achieve. In this work, we aim to use an emulsion-based delivery system to enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of tangeretin.    In first part of this work, a viscoelastic emulsion system containing >2.5% tangeretin was developed and its physical properties were characterized. In this viscoelastic emulsion system, the emulsion-encapsulated tangeretin was mixed with homogeneously-entrapped tangeretin crystals, which exhibited remarkable storage stability over six months. Following the development of the tangeretin emulsion system, the processing parameters were further optimized to obtain the required properties that may best enhance the oral bioavailability and efficacy.     The ability of an emulsion-based delivery system to improve the oral bioavailability of tangeretin was examined using in vitro and in vivo models. In vitro lipolysis and TNO gastrointestinal model revealed that emulsion-delivered tangeretin was digested considerably more quickly and was 2.6-fold more bioaccessible than unformulated medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) suspension. In vivo pharmacokinetics analysis on mice confirmed that the oral bioavailability of tangeretin in the emulsion-based system was increased 2.3-fold, with a 23% increase in Cmax when compared with the unformulated suspension.   Moreover, the emulsion-based delivery was proven to be an effective method to increase the oral therapeutic efficacy of tangeretin. The in vitro anti-proliferative activity of tangeretin was first evaluated using MTT essay on colonic carcinoma cell lines and was significantly improved by the use of the emulsion delivery system. The effectiveness of the emulsion system to enhance the in vivo oral efficacy of tangeretin against colorectal cancer development was also evaluated by the AOM/DSS-induced colitis-related colon tumorigenesis model. The tumor incidence, multiplicity, and pathological signs of colorectal adenoma were significantly reduced when tangeretin emulsion was applied. Finally, the related toxicity effects of the tangeretin viscoelastic emulsion were also investigated.

Densification of rapid carbothermal synthesized and commercial boron carbide by spark plasma sintering
Creators: name: Toksoy, Muhammet Fatih
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Boron carbide is a structural ceramic material with exceptionally good physical and chemical properties. Thus, boron carbide is proposed for applications in extreme conditions. However synthesizing and sintering of boron carbide is extremely difficult due to its high melting point and strong covalent bonding. Secondary phases, non-uniform composition, complex stoichiometry and powder morphology are problems in most commercial powders as a result of synthesis and powder preparation procedures. Achieving more than 90% TD is difficult due to strong covalent bonding structure and low plasticity of boron carbide. Very high sintering temperatures that approach the melting point are needed for densification.   This dissertation seeks to establish an improved understanding on Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) behaviors of boron carbide and effects of powder properties on final products. Rapid carbothermal reduction (RCR) method was utilized to synthesize boron carbide powder. Submicron boron carbide powders with narrow particle size distribution were synthesized. Free carbon was significantly reduced and near B4C stoichiometry was achieved. Commercial boron carbide powders were also modified by processing in the RCR reactor. Free carbon was reduced to trace amounts; powder morphology and stoichiometry was modified. Commercial, synthesized and modified boron carbide powders were analyzed and characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy, particle size analysis and chemical analyses. Synthesized boron carbide powder had smaller particle size, lower free carbon levels and increased concentration of twinning compared to commercial samples.    Standard sintering procedure for boron carbide was established for SPS. Powders were sintered to different temperatures with various dwell times to analyze sintering behavior of boron carbide on SPS without any additives. Synthesized boron carbide powders reached +99% TD at lower temperature and shorter dwell times compared to commercial boron carbide samples. Highly dense materials were produced with limited grain growth. Dense samples were analyzed by XRD and electron microscopy. Knoop hardness tests were applied to dense boron carbide samples. Hardness results showed an improvement with RCR synthesized powders. Results were correlated and powder-sintering-final properties relations were established.

Deleuze and Russian film
Creators: name: Toymentsev, Sergey
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation provides a new philosophical periodization of Russian film history according to Gilles Deleuze’s Cinema volumes. Chapter One argues that Deleuze’s film-philosophy should not be disengaged from its larger metaphysical basis provided in his Difference and Repetition, since the latter structurally organizes his overall argument in Cinema volumes. I demonstrate that Deleuze’s reading of Euro-American cinema is framed according to his theory of the dynamic genesis modeled after the three syntheses of time and the doctrine of the faculties derived from Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Judgment: the first synthesis of the present provides the ground for the movement-image, the second synthesis of the past underlies the structure of the Bergsonian crystal-image, and the third synthesis of the future gives the way to the thought-image. Viewed in the context of Difference and Repetition, Deleuze’s Cinema project presents itself as a cinematic version of the epistemological progression of the image from matter to the virtual through the faculties of sensibility, memory and thought. Chapter Two contextualizes this progression within the historical evolution of Russian cinema. Given its long imprisonment within the doctrinal confines of socialist realism, Russian cinema begins its ascendance toward the virtual only after Stalin’s death in 1953, i.e. in the Thaw era when the Soviet action-image undergoes a definitive crisis. Chapter Three explores the second synthesis of time exemplified by Andrei Tarkovsky’s crystal-images. I argue that Tarkovsky’s emphasis on time and memory shares intrinsic affinity with Bergson’s philosophy and that his visual poetics of specular reciprocity could be explained as that of resonance between divergent film components. Chapter Four examines the emergence of the Soviet thought-image in Alexander Askoldov, Vadim Abdrashitov, Necrorealism and Alexander Sokurov, whose poetics follows the logic of the third disjunctive synthesis which foregrounds caesura between film components as the main principle of cinematic representation. In the light of such alternative genealogy, I argue that the historical coincidence of the collapse of the Soviet empire and the appearance of the thought-image in Russian cinema in the late 1980s testifies to the revolutionary potential of cinematic thinking promoted by Deleuze.
Advances in instantaneous and dynamic localization in indoor environments

description: The knowledge of the exact location of an object or person is an important enabler for a wide variety of applications.  Localization, itself, has a long and distinguished history from sextants to the geodesic tools of modern civil engineers.  The recent general availability of global positioning systems has enabled the development of new applications from car navigation and emergency assistance systems to location targeted advertisements.  However these systems are largely limited to outdoor spaces preventing the accurate determination of location inside of a building.  In this dissertation, we consider the issues of both the instantaneous and dynamic localization of people in an indoor environment where GPS signals are not available.    We begin by studying instantaneous localization and the variety of new techniques that share the common approach of utilizing a number of fixed reference points with known locations in order to determine the location of the target.  Since indoor environments usually prevent a direct line of sight from the target to a known point we need to infer the target’s location from secondary measurements with varying reliability.  We then outline a new method for instantaneous localization whose output not only provides the location of the target but also the confidence of the localization based on the environmental variability.    We then examine how these factors extend to the complex scenarios of dynamic localization.  In these scenarios instantaneous localization steps would need to be performed at an unrealistically high frequency in order to extract the desired smooth trajectory of a moving object.  We find that by passing the results of these measurements over time through a sampling-importance-resampling particle filter can reduce the influence of noise and allow interpolation to predict the current, and sometimes future, location of the target.  This particle filter utilizes a probabilistic reasoning technique to extract continuous tracking information from the periodic instantaneous location input as well as to integrate knowledge about the environment and the target’s capabilities in order to provide it’s location.  We then present the experimental results from scenarios taken from multiple indoor locations demonstrating the accuracy and precision of the localization method.

Type species: Atyphella obsoleta Olivier 1911b.
Diagnosis. Both Pygatyphella and Pacifica occur in New Guinea and Pacific islands, and both have LO in V7 retracted to the anterior half or less; the posterior clear portion of V7 is frequently arched and underlying muscle impressions can be clearly seen. The two genera are most obviously distinguished by their dorsal colouration, Pygatyphella having a pattern resembling bird droppings, where most Pacifica species have orange pronotum and dark brown elytra which may be pale margined. Ballantyne & Lambkin (2009) distinguished two forms within Pygatyphella they named Pygatyphella A and B. Subsequently Pygatyphella B was described from 5 species as a distinct genus Pacifica. The following diagnosis of Pygatyphella sensu Ballantyne & Lambkin (2013) is modified from Ballantyne & Lambkin (2009): Dorsal colouration usually cryptic, very pale brown with dark markings on pronotum, MS, MN and elytral base and apex; pronotum often with angulate convergence along lateral margins, and small depression often present just anterior to posterolateral corner; lacking irregularities at the corners; posterolateral corners may project beyond median posterior margin; at least two interstitial lines usually well–defined; elytral margins convex or parallel-sided; posterior area of V7 may reach into LO (which is medially emarginated); apex of MPP rounded, pointed, or squarely or obliquely truncate; MPP lacking median dorsal ridge (except in Pygat. karimui), lacking curved, slightly off-centre posterior ridge on ventral surface of T8; dorsal surface of posterior area of MPP faced with cuticle that is not attached to the ventral surface of V7 and ends just behind the area of muscle attachment posterior to the LO; the anterior margins of this cuticle are reflexed in Pygat. peculiaris; median area of this facing cuticle lacking longitudinal split; T8 anterolateral prolongations lacking ventral projections at their base; aedeagal sheath not subparallel-sided in basal third; aedeagus L/W usually>3; LL/ML not wide; ML sometimes asymmetrical in a horizontal plane only, never with lateral teeth; anterior margin of LL often asymmetrically produced.

North American indigenous curators’ constructions of indigenous knowledge
Creators: name: Vamanu, Iulian
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation aims to show how indigenous curators working in museums and universities across the United States and Canada construct indigenous knowledge as a discursive object and thus influence the production and circulation of indigenous knowledge in North American societies.    The study is framed through the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD), which accommodates meaning-making and material dimensions of discourses. Qualitative and interpretive research methods are employed including semi-structured in-depth interviews with indigenous curators, analysis of textual documents (scholarly work by indigenous curators and museum mission statements), and analysis of multimodal documents (an exhibition with indigenous content), in order to capture and describe actualizations of discourses of indigenous knowledge by indigenous curators.    Indigenous knowledge is constructed discursively as injured knowledge (“invisible” through “erasure” of spatial and temporal presence). Indigenous curators position themselves as the social actors authorized to articulate this status endogenously and to address it by making a case for the compelling (spatial and temporal) presence of indigenous knowledge. In this respect, they employ topographical and chronographic vocabularies to articulate threats to indigenous knowledge and to propose model practices by means of which these threats may be addressed. There are roles associated with indigenous knowledge stewardship, which the curators fulfill, more or less innovatively, by interacting with other actors, by engaging in discursive and model practices, and by using affordances of the material practices of indigenous knowledge.    The dissertation contributes to the literature in Library and Information Science by looking at the constructed nature of cultural knowledge. It makes visible the creative work of indigenous curators as a group of information professionals who remain unstudied despite the important work they do in serving the information needs of both aboriginal communities and the larger society.
Solutions of inverse convection problems by a predictor-corrector technique
Creators: name: VanderVeer, Joseph R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: A predictor-corrector technique for solving inverse convection problems was developed,  tested, and re fined. The methodology was tested against three inverse problems: inverse  plume in a crossflow, inverse jet in a crossflow, and inverse plume in a cavity.  The goal of the inverse plume in a crossflow was to solve for the strength and location  (x, y) of the source. After  refinement, the methodology was able to predict all three  goals, utilizing three sample points to within 2.5%. Error analysis demonstrated that  three sample points was unable to tolerate any simulation-experimental error. Therefore,  when handling experimental data, an increase in the number of sample points is  required, to a minimum of five. The error analysis also showed that the methodology,  with five or more sample points, is remarkably stable in its prediction capability. The  location prediction was minimally affected, less than 0.1%, by an artificial error of 10%.  The goal of the inverse jet in a crossflow was to solve for the strength (velocity and  temperature) and location (x, y) of the source. After testing, the methodology was not  able to predict all four goals. The elevation location of the jet needed to be known  to adequately solve the inverse problem. The methodology was able to predict the  source velocity and temperature to within 10% and 3.3% respectively. The goal of the  inverse plume in a cavity was to find the strength and location (x, y) of the source.  Sensitivity analysis demonstrate it is very difficult, if not impossible, to resolve source  location using this methodology. The method was able to predict the source strength  within 5% using only one sample point. With future work, this approach could be extended  to applied areas of interest, such as environmental flows, room fires, and thermal  management systems.

Ambivalent hegemony
Creators: name: Van Der Meer, Arnout Henricus Cornelis
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: “Ambivalent Hegemony” explores the Dutch adoption and subsequent rejection of Javanese culture, in particular material culture like dress, architecture, and symbols of power, to legitimize colonial authority around the turn of the twentieth century. The Dutch established an enduring system of hegemony by encouraging cultural, social and racial mixing; in other words, by embedding themselves in Javanese culture and society. From the 1890s until the late 1920s this complex system of dominance was transformed by rapid technological innovation, evolutionary thinking, the emergence of Indonesian nationalism, and the intensification of the Dutch “civilizing” mission. This study traces the interactions between Dutch and Indonesian civil servants, officials, nationalists, journalists and novelists, to reveal how these transformations resulted in the transition from cultural hegemony based on feudal traditions and symbols to hegemony grounded in enhanced Westernization and heightened coercion. Consequently, it is argued that we need to understand the civilizing mission ideology and the process of modernization in the colonial context as part of larger cultural projects of control.    By emphasizing the interactions between the colonizers and the colonized, this study brings into focus a shared colonial space, thus bridging the fields of Indonesian and European colonial history. These interactions are explored in a number of sites that have proved of particular relevance. For example, the study of Javanese status symbols, such as the ceremonial parasol (payung), deference rituals, and a hybrid sartorial hierarchy reveals the ways in which the material grounds of colonial authority were contested. Likewise, an examination of hill stations, their architecture and function, illuminates the growing concerns surrounding the “physical body”, and fears of Westernization and Javanization among the Javanese and Dutch respectively. The various narratives are brought together in a discussion of annual fairs, their attractions, appearance and objectives in the colony’s capital at Batavia (Jakarta). These transformative themes in the history of Indonesia, which stress the place of material culture in legitimizing colonial regimes, are treated in depth for the first time as dimensions of a coherent process.

description: As a result of the geopolitical divisions of the Cold War, approximately 185,000 Soviet Jews traveled from the Soviet Union through Austria and Italy between 1971 and 1990 in order to immigrate to countries other than Israel. This dissertation examines U.S. immigrants’ experiences of this period of transit migration as well as their extant connections to it through semi-structured interviews, archival research, immigrant-published literature, and the consideration of the experiences of the ethnographer (as a member of the 1.5 generation) and her family.  This interview-based, intimate ethnography demonstrates that for Soviet Jewish Americans, the places of transit migration are the start and finish lines of reclaiming dignity as immigrants from the Second World. In Austria and Italy, they experienced shock, shame, chaotic travel, imposed waiting, and the realization of their loss of social status. But there were opportunities for hope, too: enchantment, enjoyment, and creativity, which pointed to the subject-positions they one day expected to embody. Therefore transit migration was marked not only by loss and a reckoning with one’s past but a stretching forward toward a future that would elaborate on and redeem its hardships. Immigrants’ present-day interactions with transit migration—through narrative, reflection, and return trips—illustrate that the embodied experiences of passage continue to form part of their lived experience, as markers of self-worth.   As the first study to examine Soviet Jews’ transit migration, it contributes valuable ethnographic and historical knowledge about this group. By attending to migration as both social process and experience, it reveals transit migration to be a distinct category of experience with features parallel to other migrations marked by unfixed immigrant legal statuses. This thesis also identifies a relation to the past that is not cast as either traumatic or nostalgic. Instead, it points to a range of embodied relations to the past: neither determinative, inaccessible, nor only present-focused, but emergent and dynamic, allowing for both re-experiencing and connections to earlier, anticipatory desires. This dissertation therefore portrays migration to be a complex and shifting experience that gets continually written and re-written as it is incorporated into the broader trajectory of one’s life.

description: As recently evidenced by Brexit, EU withdrawal bears a bigger resemblance to peaceful secession by constitutional means than to ordinary treaty exit. However, the EU’s famous withdrawal clause, Article 50 TEU, has been understood by most of the scholarship as a classic mechanism of international treaty denouncement. The main aim of this paper is to refute this narrow view for failing to reflect the reality of EU withdrawal as a democratically and constitutionally significant decision for all parties involved that requires a legal and procedural framework similar to that provided for peaceful secessions. Said framework can be found in the EU’s Article 2 TEU fundamental values, namely, the principles of democracy and the rule of law. By operationalising this provision in the context of withdrawal we provide the EU with the legal opportunity to refuse a withdrawal notification that does not stand up to the high constitutional guarantees required by such a momentous event.

description: Polycrystalline transparent magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) is an important optical material due to its good mechanical properties combined with a high light transmittance over the visible and near infrared wavelength range. It shows promise for many applications including high energy windows and light-weight armors. Being a difficult-to-sinter material, the fabrication of transparent spinel often requires a pressure-assisted sintering method with the use of a sintering aid. Thanks to its high heating rate combined with a moderate pressure, spark plasma sintering (SPS) is capable of producing a fine-grain spinel without using a sintering aid. The densification dynamics of spinel in SPS processing and its influence on the transmittance and the microstructure of the material were of great interest.  Early in the course of study, it was determined that the mobility of the magnesium ions in spinel under an electric field at elevated temperatures was the major factor that caused discoloration in SPS-processed spinel. Controlling the SPS heating rate and soaking time after the sample reach 60% of its theoretical density was the decisive factor in attaining a high transmittance and minimizing discoloration. Later it was found that increasing the SPS processing time would diminish the transmittance of spinel in the visible region, and at the same time exacerbated discoloration. Based on these observations, the SPS conditions for transparent spinel were determined and optimized.  Enhancement of the hardness of spinel by doping was also studied. A simple surface precipitation process was developed to coat alumina onto the spinel particles. Doping caused a reduction the transmittance of the material in the visible region but inserting an alumina layer between the graphite die and the powder compact to be sintered helped to solve this problem. By doping, the hardness of the material was increased by 3 – 6% compare to other SPS-processed spinels, and by about 8.5% compare to HIP-processed spinel of the same grain size.  The findings of this dissertation explained why SPS processed spinel could not reach its theoretical transmittance in the visible wavelength range. Simple solutions to minimize discoloration of SPS-processed spinel were determined. The experimental designs served as a platform to explore potential densification dynamics and interactions of other nonconductive ceramic materials in SPS processing.

Petrologic implications from the chemistry of olivine phenocrysts
Creators: name: Vidito, Christopher A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Source lithology of mantle plumes and other volcanic sources has been inferred from isotopic data for decades, however these studies cannot determine if the geochemical signature of pyroxenitic source is due to the presence of a pyroxenite, or if the geochemical signature had been imprinted upon peridotite by some metosomatic process (e.g. refertilization). Mn, Ca and Ni concentrations in olivines are used to infer the source lithology of primitive basalts. Secular cooling of the Galápagos hotspot has been established by petrologic modeling. An increase in the entrainment of relatively dense pyroxenite in the Galápagos plume over time may explain this trend in decreasing Tp with time, as pyroxenite entrainment would have a negative effect on the buoyancy of the plume. Analyses of olivines from Curacao indicates that pyroxenite was absent in the source of these Cretaceous age Galápagos plume lavas. Magmatism preserved at Quepos marks the transition of the Galápagos plume from the head (LIP) stage to the tail (hotspot track) stage. Major and trace element analyses of Quepos samples show a geochemical signal of a pyroxenite. The presence of pyroxenite as a distinct lithology in the source of these lavas is confirmed by olivine analyses. The extreme enrichment of radiogenic lead found in the lavas of Mangaia have long been interpreted as reflecting a component of ancient recycled crust and is representative of the isotopic endmember HIMU. Olivine analyses of samples from Mangaia indicate that the source of these lavas is predominantly peridotite. If the source of Mangaia had a substantial pyroxenitic component, as inferred from isotopic data, then it is likely that it had its lithological identity destroyed. This may have been the result of the refertilization of mantle periditote by the injection of silicic, pyroxenite source melt. Ni excess observed in the chemistry of olivines from various LIPs and hotspots contrast their Mn and Ca concentrations which are indicative of a peridotite source. High 3He/4He found in samples for which He analysis has been done, suggest a deep lower mantle source. The Ni excess may be due to the interaction between the lower mantle and the core.

description: The immense production of the chemical industry requires an improved predictive risk assessment that can handle constantly evolving challenges while reducing the dependency of risk assessment on animal testing. Integrating 'omics data into mechanistic models offers a promising solution by linking cellular processes triggered after chemical exposure with observed effects in the organism. With the emerging availability of time-resolved RNA data, the goal of integrating gene expression data into mechanistic models can be approached. We propose a biologically anchored TKTD model, which describes key processes that link the gene expression level of the stress regulator $nrf2$ to detoxification and lethality by associating toxicodynamic damage with $nrf2$ expression. Fitting such a model to complex datasets consisting of multiple endpoints required the combination of methods from molecular biology, mechanistic dynamic systems modeling and Bayesian inference. In this study we successfully integrate time-resolved gene expression data into TKTD models, and thus provide a method for assessing the influence of molecular markers on survival. This novel method was used to test whether, $nrf2$, can be applied to predict lethality in zebrafish embryos. With the presented approach we outline a method to successively approach the goal of a predictive risk assessment based on molecular data.
