description: Based on principal component analysis (PCA) of air pollution data collected during the Summer Olympic Games held in Beijing, China during 2008, the five source types of air pollution identified – natural soil/road dust, vehicle and industrial combustion, vegetative burning, oil combustion, and secondary formation, were all distinctly lower during the Olympics. This was particularly true for vehicle and industrial combustion and oil combustion, and during the main games period between the opening and closing ceremonies. The reduction in secondary formation was reflective of a reduction in nitrogen oxides, but this also contributed to increased ozone concentrations during the Olympic period.    Among three toxic aldehydes measured in Beijing during the same time period, only acetaldehyde had a reduction in mean concentration during the Olympic air pollution control period compared to the pre-Olympic period. Accordingly, acetaldehyde was significantly correlated with primary emission sources including vegetative burning and oil combustion, and with several pollutants emitted mainly from primary sources. In contrast, formaldehyde and acrolein increased during the Olympic air pollution control period; accordingly both were significantly correlated with ozone and with the secondary formation source type. These findings indicate primary sources may dominate for acetaldehyde while secondary sources may dominate for formaldehyde and acrolein.   Biomarkers for pulmonary inflammation (exhaled breath condensate (EBC) pH, exhaled nitric oxide, and EBC nitrite) and hemostasis and blood coagulation (vWF and sCD62p) were most consistently associated with vehicle and industrial combustion, oil combustion, and vegetative burning. The systemic inflammation biomarker 8-OHdG was most consistently associated with vehicle and industrial combustion. In contrast, the associations between the biomarkers and the aldehydes were generally not significant or in the hypothesized direction, although EBC nitrite was associated with both acrolein and acetaldehyde, and sCD62p was associated with acetaldehyde. Notably, the biomarker sCD40L showed few significant associations with any of the air pollution source types or aldehydes.   The findings indicate that implementing controls for combustion sources may have a positive impact on cardiorespiratory health, even in healthy young adults. More aggressive control of vegetative burning and further reduction of nitrogen oxide concentrations would likely have an even more positive impact.

description: Of the more than 80,000 listings on the National Register of Historic Places, only three are properties listed for their significance to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer cultural heritage. It has only been in the last two decades that the National Park Service has begun to recognize sites of great social and historical importance attributed to this community. The LGBTQ community of the United States will be the focus of this thesis, as they are under-represented in the preservation of American cultural heritage. Using journal articles, books, National Register listings, magazine articles, and internet sites of LGBTQ organizations, this thesis’ aim is to gather the information necessary to support the recognition of LGBTQ sites and material culture. The recognition and preservation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) cultural heritage in New York City and San Francisco, as well as the three currently-listed LGBTQ sites on the National Register will also be examined and explored. The places for the display and care of the material culture of the LGBTQ community will be discussed, as well as the need for a national museum.  Lastly, the thesis will explore LGBTQ cultural preservation efforts in U.S. cities other than New York City and San Francisco. The conclusion will suggest preservation efforts which seem to be working best and how the United States could expand its recognition of LGBTQ cultural heritage.

Mexican Canaan : fugitive slaves and free blacks on the American frontier, 1804-1867

description: This dissertation examines the migration of free blacks and slaves across the United States’ southern border into New Spain and later Mexico in the antebellum era. For fugitive slaves, Mexico offered a sanctuary from U.S. slavery. Mexico abolished slavery in 1829; never policed its borders very effectively; and at times, actively welcomed runaways. Northeastern Mexico was sparsely populated and attracted few immigrants and welcomed slave fugitives who could help defend its border. The nation also welcomed free blacks, offering them full citizenship rights—unlike the United States. Consequently, starting in the 1820s and 1830s, some free blacks began to immigrate there. The Texas Revolution and subsequent U.S. annexation of Texas made it less welcoming to free blacks, who became subjected to greater restrictions after the United States acquired the region. But some free blacks continued to migrate to Texas after 1836, and both free blacks and fugitive slaves migrated to Mexico after 1845. The consolidation of U.S. slavery in the 1850s along with the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law (1850), ensured that both free blacks and slaves would continue to see Mexico as a refuge through emancipation. This history of the transnational migration of African Americans to the Spanish-U.S.-Mexican borderlands recovers the story of a southern underground railroad that led fugitive slaves south of the border.

description: Das Thema der visuellen Wissenschaftskommunikation gewinnt in unserer heutigen digitalen Welt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Physische Wissensobjekte in Form von Lehr- und Anschauungsmodellen wurden schon lange vor dem digitalen Zeitalter als Kommunikations- und Wissensartefakte genutzt, ihre Existenz ist dabei häufig stark mit ihrer wissenschaftlichen Akkuratheit und ihrer Aktualität verwoben. Plastische Modelle als konkrete „Objekte des Wissens“ im Lehr- und Sammlungskontext sind an materielle und epistemologische Veränderungen der Zeit gebunden: Wenn sich eingebettetes Wissen und der wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisstand – oder Materialwissen und Alterungsprozesse – zu weit vonein-ander entfernen, passiert es leicht, dass Objekte verloren gehen, in Vergessenheit geraten oder zerstört werden. Der Aufsatz widmet sich marginalisierten Wissensobjekten in einer interdisziplinären Objektforschung, die klassische Methoden, wie die Objektbiographie, mit künstlerischen Interventionen verbindet. Dabei werden exemplarische Szenarien entwickelt, wie diese Objekte nicht nur rekonstruiert und neu kontextualisiert, sondern auch wieder sicht- und nutzbar gemacht werden können.

The BRCA1 ring domain is essential for DNA damage repair and G2/M checkpoint activation
Creators: name: Al Hamza, Ali
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The BRCA1 (breast cancer 1, early onset) tumor suppressor gene is involved in a variety of cellular pathways, and is an essential factor for normal DNA repair by homologous recombination. The BRCA1 protein has a number of conserved domains, including a coiled-coil domain, two BRCT domains and an N-terminal RING (Really Interesting New Gene) domain. Many cancer-causing mutations have been reported that affect the BRCA1 RING domain, although the exact impact of RING domain mutations on DNA repair is not clear. We characterized a BRCA1-mutant mouse model, BRCA1∆2/∆2 , in which conditional deletion of exon 2 excises a large portion of the RING domain. BRCA1∆2/∆2 cells have a defective G2/M cell cycle checkpoint after IR-induced DNA damage. In addition, BRCA1∆2/∆2 showed a high rate of genomic instability after treatment with agents that cause DNA double strand breaks or DNA interstrand crosslinks. Co-deletion of the 53BP1 (p53 Binding Protein 1) gene rescues some, but not all, phenotypes of mutation of the BRCA1 RING domain. By clarifying the importance of the RING domain in mediating BRCA1 activity, we aim to better understand why patient mutations in the BRCA1 gene cause cancer predisposition and identify new targets for therapeutic intervention.

How are street drug dealing locations selected?
Creators: name: Hsu, Ko-Hsin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: In Newark, NJ, drug dealing is common, but it is not evenly distributed in every part of the city. Between 200& and 2009, most drug arrests were made on less than 20% of the streets. The dissertation seeks to explain how the locations for drug dealing are related to their surrounding situational features. It is hypothesized that these features produce criminal opportunities for drug dealing activities: lack of guardianship, accessibility, and crime generators. This dissertation focuses on drug arrests at the micro-level – street segments and intersections. Police arrest records from 200& to 2009 provided by the Newark City Police Department are analyzed. A matched case-control design is used. Applying a threshold criterion of 5 or more arrests, 104 street segments and 31 intersections having frequent dealing activity per year in 200& to 2009 are sampled to be the cases. Controls are individually matched with the cases, taking account of their distance from the cases, street length, and the intersecting thoroughfares. The sample size is 135 pairs. Situational data of local drug dealing settings are observed using Google Street View. Inter-rater reliability is assessed to affirm the quality of the data. McNemar’s test is employed to examine the correlations between variables and the drug market. The dissertation also sets forth a conditional logistic regression model to analyze the causal relationships between variables and the drug market. Results show that drug dealing activity tends to occur on specific street segments characterized by abandoned buildings, bus stops, parking lots, vacant land, mailboxes, retail stores (near vacant lands), or the absence of a church. Drug dealing activity tends to occur on specific intersections characterized by parking lots, retail stores, and churches. The presence of a church as a crime generator to the occurrence of drug markets on intersections is one notable finding of this dissertation. The results signal that there are distinguishable situational factors affecting drug activity on streets and intersections, respectively. This dissertation demonstrates the feasibility of using Google Street View for future crime research. Policy implications are provided for making local drug markets more predictable and controllable to the police.

Longitudinal analysis of changes in nucleus acumbens reward processing across protracted cocaine self-administration
Creators: name: Barker, David James
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Theories suggest that drug dependence develops as drug use transitions from acute ingestion to protracted drug-taking behavior. Studies in both humans and primates have shown that striatal circuitry is intimately involved in these long term changes. Notably, the ventromedial portion of the striatum (i.e., the nucleus accumbens) has a long established role in supporting the reinforcing properties of abused drugs and in modulating drug-seeking behaviors. To date, however, a thorough longitudinal analysis of the functional changes in accumbens activity during the transition from acute to chronic drug use has yet to be conducted. Thus, the goal of the present experiment was to track single neuron activity across 24 days of chronic, long-access (6 hours/day) self-administration training and examine changes in the tonic firing patterns of accumbens neurons as well as changes in firing patterns during on-drug locomotion, approach to the operant, and operant responding. Finally, the relationship between drug level and firing rate was examined longitudinally. To accomplish this, animals were shaped and  iii  subsequently trained to self-administer cocaine by performing an operant head movement on a variable-interval schedule. Single-units were recorded across self-administration sessions using an array targeting the nucleus accumbens core and shell. Data recorded from wires that had been localized to the accumbens core, shell, or core/shell border using antibodies raised against Calbindin D28-K were then analyzed longitudinally using a generalized linear model. Results from the present study establish that continued cocaine use corresponds to stable negative correlations between drug level and the firing rates of accumbens neurons. Moreover, dynamic changes in the firing patterns of accumbens neurons during operant responding were observed over sessions. In contrast, firing during locomotor behaviors and goal-directed approaches was not different from baseline firing rates. Overall these results suggest that the accumbens plays a specific role in response-reinforcement learning and may exhibit plastic changes in firing patterns as learning occurs. Moreover, the strength of learned associations may be influenced by the effects of cocaine, which produces a robust effect on accumbens neurons, even upon first exposure.

At the same time, the demand for access to electronic resources and other services means that more and more people are making use of their public libraries.  Despite a long history of library evaluation and advocacy, many libraries are chronically underfunded, and we still do not know what library administrators can do to effectively muster increased funding for public libraries.  This study investigated three propositions about the relationships between constructs of public library value and levels of public library municipal funding.  The study investigated these propositions by examining the library value constructs held by public library directors and by mayors in New Jersey communities that provide tax support for public libraries.  The goal of the study was to identify the important value constructs for each group, and to discover if there are relationships between specific value constructs and levels of library funding.  The researcher used surveys to gather data, and usable responses were received from 88 public library directors and 52 mayors.  The surveys asked respondents to use a Likert scale to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements about library value and the budget process.  The resultant responses were analyzed using correlation analysis and logistic regression.  The respondents also provided answers to four open ended questions identifying most and least effective types of budget information.  The study findings suggest that while value-funding link is not direct, there is support for the claim that the public library is still a valued community institution.  Library advocacy efforts and the focus on library evaluation have been effective in sustaining a shared culture around libraries.  However, these activities are not the keys to the library’s expansion or growth; these activities help libraries survive, but they will not help them thrive.  Securing additional funding does not appear to be about library goodness, but may instead be about the weight of the library in a particular local government resource allocation decision matrix.

description: Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids are important nutrients and are deficient in the American diet.  Therefore increasing the intake of n-3s is a public health goal.  Research has suggested that because people eat what they buy, point-of-purchase interventions may have the potential to help consumers make healthy food choices.  A study of existing literature revealed that these interventions have not used newer technological means, have many limitations, and have failed to assess long-term shopping behavior change. The research presented in this dissertation aims to test use of, and long-term effects of, new technology (i.e., podcasts) as a means of delivering nutrition education at the grocery store to interested consumers while they shop.     A single-group, repeated-measures, mixed-methods study design was employed to determine if listening to a podcast about n-3s while grocery shopping increased shoppers’ awareness about, and purchases of, seafood and other foods rich in n-3s.  Constructs from the Theory of Reasoned Action were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the podcasts. A secondary data analysis of participant food purchase data was done to examine the long-term effects of podcast exposure over the six months following the intervention (as compared to the six months prior).  As a result of exposure to the podcasts TRA constructs improved, knowledge about n-3s increased and misconceptions were reduced.  In addition, both long-term (six months post-intervention) and short-term purchases (day of the intervention) of n-3 rich food item purchases increased. These findings suggest that podcasts may be an effective means to communicate nutrition education messages at the point of purchase, to those who indicate an interest in the subject.

description: This dissertation analyzes the political consequences of the Conditional Cash Transfer program (CCT) in Turkey, The purpose is three-fold: first, to investigate the political incentives and payoffs that motivate policymakers to adopt CCTs; second, to test whether political or technocratic criteria explain the allocation of CCTs in Turkey, and third, to examine whether conditionally transferring cash to the poor empowers poor citizens, or produces/reproduces pressure on the poor to reciprocate by supporting the political party that made the cash transfer.   My research draws on six months of fieldwork conducted in Malkara, Tekirdağ (with Roma beneficiaries) and Diyarbakır (with Kurdish beneficiaries), and on regression analysis of original district level data on the allocation of CCTs.  I reach three primary conclusions.  First, the adoption of CCTs under the coalition government, influenced and pushed by the World Bank, led to a relatively strict formulation of the social assistance scheme in Turkey, which provides a promising attempt to make a transition to programmatic social policy. Second, although on balance, social and economic indicators guide the distribution of funds, Kurdish districts appear to receive favorable treatment.   Third, due to the lack of CCTs requirements for increased social participation and active social engagement on the part of beneficiaries, the CCT program does not have a transformative impact on the enhancement of citizenship and the empowerment of women for both the Kurdish and Roma communities. Rather, more politicized groups, such as the Kurdish people, view the benefit as their social right due to state’s inefficiency in creating jobs in the eastern part of Turkey and their uneasy relations with the state. Among less politicized groups, such as the Roma people, the program triggers feelings of gratitude and appreciation to the politicians providing this program, especially Prime Minister Erdoğan.

Discussion. The species was described from females from Northern Norway by Lengersdorf (1926): for the lectotype designation and literature, see Menzel & Mohrig (2000). After a study of the lectotype, which so far is the only specimen of the species (in ZFMK) available for study, Menzel & Mohrig (2000) stated that the scutellum has many long and strong setae, the 1 st palpal segment has a unbordered patch of sensilla, the fore tibia has spine-like setae, and that R 1 /R complex is long (R 1 ends near the level of the base of the M-fork). We have studied the lectotype again and have found characters that might be helpful in identification of the male of this species and for supporting its placement in the genus Trichocoelina. Of the characters given above, only the somewhat unequally long spurs of the mid and hind tibiae as well as the high number of long scutellars are unusual for Trichocoelina.

Impacts of volcanic eruptions and geoengineering on Arctic climate
Creators: name: Berdahl, Mira

description: Stratospheric aerosols can produce large radiative forcing and climate response, often amplified in the Arctic.  Here I study the Arctic response to natural (volcanic eruptions) and potential anthropogenic (geoengineering) stratospheric sulfate aerosols.  I use a regional climate model and global climate model output from two modeling intercomparison projects.  First, I investigate the relative impacts of changes in radiation and advection on snow extent over Baffin Island with the Weather Research and Forecasting model.  Model results show it is possible to suddenly lower the snowline by amounts comparable to those seen during the Little Ice Age with an average temperature decrease of –3.9 ± 1.1 K from present.  Further, sea ice expansion following large volcanic eruptions would have significant affects on inland temperatures, especially in the fall.  Next, I analyze Last Millennium simulations from the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project 3 to assess whether state-of-the-art global climate models produce sudden changes and persistence of cold conditions after large volcanic eruptions as inferred by geological records and previous climate modeling.  North Atlantic sea ice and Baffin Island snow cover showed large-scale expansion in the simulations, but none of the models produced significant centennial-scale effects.  Warm Baffin Island summer climates stunt snow expansion in some models completely, and model topography misses the critical elevations that could sustain snow on the island.  This has critical consequences for ice and snow formation and persistence in regions such as the Arctic where temperatures are near freezing and small temperature changes affect the state of water.  Finally, I analyze output from the Geoengineering Modeling Intercomparison Project to examine whether geoengineering by injection of sulfate aerosols into the lower stratosphere prevents the demise of minimum annual sea ice extent, or slows spring snow cover loss.  Despite geoengineering September sea ice and summer snow extents still decrease, although not as quickly as in the global warming scenario.  Because of the climate system lag in responding to the existing radiative forcing, to stop Arctic sea ice and snow from continuing to melt, the imposed forcing would have to be large enough to also counteract the existing radiative imbalance.

The immobilization of molybdenum in the presence of zero valent iron

description: Anthropogenic release of molybdenum (Mo) into the environment poses a potential health and ecological risk.  Major sources of anthropogenic Mo releases are from mining and milling sites where other elements of concern such as uranium (U) may also be released.  Mo may be removed concurrently with U from contaminated groundwater by zero valent (elemental) irong (Fe0) permeable reactive barriers (PRB).  Knowledge of the sequestered form of Mo in Fe0 PRBs is critical if this in situ technology is to be a viable passive solution for remediation of Mo-contaminated groundwater.  Sequestered Mo must be in a non-labile form in order for it to no longer be a threat to the environment.  The form of Mo was investigated in solids recovered from a Fe0 PRB designed to remove Mo and U from contaminated groundwater that leached from unlined U mill tailings ponds.  Historic groundwater trends indicated effective Mo sequestration under both oxidizing and reducing conditions within the Fe0 zone.  Geochemical models predicted sequestration mechanisms to be reductive precipitation as molybdenite and weak adsorption of molybdate (MoO42-) to Fe oxyhydroxides.  To identify the form of Mo, the recovered barrier solids (RBS) were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction and ascanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.  Crystalline formations were observed in thin section polished slides with optical light microscopy.  A sequential leaching procedure was performed on the RBS, extracting loosely held Mo with alkaline solution and extracting Mo-bearing minerals with acid-oxidizing reagents.  The majority of the sequestered Mo in RBS was in a reduced valence mineral form, molybdenite and/or molybdenum dioxide.  Some Mo was loosely held to Fe oxyhydroxides.  Geochemical models suggested the loosely held Mo was adsorbed to goethite, which was the XRD identified Fe oxyhydroxide in the RBS.  Reductive precipitation of MoO42- to Mo(IV)-bearing minerals is the preferred sequestration mechanism since adsorbed Mo may desorb should groundwater conditions change.  Fe0 PRBs need to be designed to sustain strong reducing conditions and permeability over many years in order to insure long-term sequestration of Mo and thereby effectively treat Mo-contaminated groundwater.
