description: Proteins in their functional forms play a vital role in all major processes in the cell.Protein misfolding has been associated with a large number of diseased states.Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) have gained much attention because of theirinvolvement in key cellular processes and predominance in diseased states. A number ofneurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’sdiseases have been correlated with the aggregation of IDPs.α-synuclein is a 140 amino acid archetypal IDP implicated in the pathology ofParkinson's disease. Aggregation of α-synuclein is sensitive to changes in amino acidsubstitutions along the sequence and changes in chemical environments. Characterizingthe monomeric form is essential to understanding the conformational changes leading tothe aggregated state. In this work, ensembles of structures generated from ReplicaExchange Molecular Dynamics simulations were used to characterize aggregation-pronestates of monomeric form of α-synuclein.The conformational characteristics of α-synuclein were evaluated in terms of thestatistical properties of the chain over a range of solvent conditions and comparing withpredictions from polymer theory, using temperature as a proxy for solvent quality.Results of this work indicate that α-synuclein behaves as expected for a homopolymerchain at extremes of solvent quality while at intermediate values, the identity of themonomeric units along the sequence significantly influence the polymeric andconformational characteristics of the chain. Comparison of the back-calculatedexperimental parameters for the simulation ensemble with that of the NMR observationshows that ensembles that fit to experimental parameters describing both local and longrangecharacteristics, represented by the experimental Residual Dipolar Couplings (RDC)and Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancements respectively, provides a better representationof the experimental ensemble.The conformations of the neutral and low pH ensembles of α-synuclein werecharacterized by integrating molecular simulations with experimental NMR observations,to elucidate the effect of the altered charge distribution with change in pH on thestructural properties of these ensembles. The results from this study indicate a significantstructural reorganization with change in pH in terms of the long-range interactions,compaction of the C-terminal region at low pH leading to faster aggregation at low pH.

description: Desde el final de la Guerra Fría, el surgimiento de los partidos y movimientos de extrema derecha en Europa del Este ha tenido una influencia cualitativa en el desarrollo de la extrema derecha Europa Occidental. Este fenónomeno no ha tenido lugar de manera preferente a través de la imitación ideológica, sino mediante dos vías concretas. Por un lado, debido a la movilización de la extrema derecha occidental en los sucesivos conflictos bélicos, de la antigua Yugoslavia a Ucrania. Por el otro, la llegada de la extrema derecha oriental, con un estilo propio, al Parlamento Europeo entre 2004 y 2007, contribuyó a configurar nuevas familias políticas.

description: Vespa (Provespa) dorylloides de Saussure 1854 [Provespa anomala de Saussure 1854]
Under “ Vespa (Prove pa) [sic!] dorylloides ”, Sonan (1929: 138) recorded a single female with the collection data “Kagi (Taikozan), 27, VI, 1923 (Coll. T. Kato)”.
In TARI, there are 4 Ƥ and 2 3 of Provespa; 1 3 Provespa nocturna van der Vecht and 1 Ƥ P. anomala (de Saussure) are labeled with “Kotosho / v” and “ Vespa / doryloides Sauss / det. T. Shiraki”. Remaining specimens (1 3 and 3 Ƥ) have the same identification label “ Vespa / dorylloides / Sauss. / Det. J. Sonan”; a P. nocturna Ƥ and a P. anomala 3 have the same collection data label “NAM HENG / JOHOR – 1917 / S. KIYOTAKE”, one of the remaining two P. anomala Ƥ has no locality label and the other has a label “Mt. Taiko / Kagi / 27 VI 1923 / M. Kato”. It seemed that the P. nocturna female and the P. anomala 3 labeled as being collected in Johor (in the Peninsular Malaysia) had been correctly labeled. However, considering the facts that Taiwan is far from the distribution area of the two Provespa species and no other records of Provespa from Taiwan is present, it is hardly acceptable that the specimens labeled as being from “Kagi” and “Kotosho” (if it is Lanyu [= Orchid Island]) had been correctly labeled.

description: We prove four separate results. These results will appear or have appeared in variouspapers (see [10], [11], [12], [13]). For a gentler introduction to these results, the readeris directed to the first chapter of this thesis. Let G = Gn,p. With ξk = ξn,pk the numberof copies of Kk in G, p ≥ n−2/(k−1) and η > 0, we show when k > 1Pr(ξk > (1 + η)Eξk) < exp[−Ωη,k min{n2pk−1 log(1/p), nkp(k2)}].This is tight up to the value of the constant in the exponent.For a graph H, denote by t(H) (resp. b(H)) the maximum size of a trianglefree(resp. bipartite) subgraph of H. We show that w.h.p. t(G) = b(G) if p >Cn−1/2 log1/2 n for a suitable constant C, which is best possible up to the value of C.We give a new (simpler) proof of a random analogue of the Erd˝os-Simonovits “stability”version of Mantel’s Theorem, viz.: For each η > 0 there is a C such that ifp > Cn−1/2, then w.h.p. each triangle-free subgraph of G of size at least |G|/2 can bemade bipartite by deletion of at most ηn2p edges.Let C(H) denote the cycle space and T (H) the triangle space of a graph H. We usethe previous result to show that if C >√3/2 is fixed and p > C√log n/n, then w.h.p.T (G) = C(G). The lower bound on p is best possible.

description: BACKGROUND: Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of clinical trial activity took place face to face within clinical or research units. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant shift towards trial delivery without in-person face-to-face contact or "Remote Trial Delivery". The National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) assembled a Remote Trial Delivery Working Group to consider challenges and enablers to this major change in clinical trial delivery and to provide a toolkit for researchers to support the transition to remote delivery. METHODS: The NIHR Remote Trial Delivery Working Group evaluated five key domains of the trial delivery pathway: participant factors, recruitment, intervention delivery, outcome measurement and quality assurance. Independent surveys were disseminated to research professionals, and patients and carers, to ascertain benefits, challenges, pitfalls, enablers and examples of good practice in Remote Trial Delivery. A toolkit was constructed to support researchers, funders and governance structures in moving towards Remote Trial Delivery. The toolkit comprises a website encompassing the key principles of Remote Trial Delivery, and a repository of best practice examples and questions to guide research teams. RESULTS: The patient and carer survey received 47 respondents, 34 of whom were patients and 13 of whom were carers. The professional survey had 115 examples of remote trial delivery practice entered from across England. Key potential benefits included broader reach and inclusivity, the ability for standardisation and centralisation, and increased efficiency and patient/carer convenience. Challenges included the potential exclusion of participants lacking connectivity or digital skills, the lack of digitally skilled workforce and appropriate infrastructure, and validation requirements. Five key principles of Remote Trial Delivery were proposed: national research standards, inclusivity, validity, cost-effectiveness and evaluation of new methodologies. CONCLUSIONS: The rapid changes towards Remote Trial Delivery catalysed by the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to sustained change in clinical trial delivery. The NIHR Remote Trial Delivery Working Group provide a toolkit for researchers recommending five key principles of Remote Trial Delivery and providing examples of enablers.
A psychometric analysis of two measures of African American racial identity in a sample of professional adults

Year: 2012

description: This dissertation is an investigation of the Cross Racial Identity Scale (CRIS; Vandiver, Cross, Worrell, & Fhagen-Smith, 2002) and the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI; Sellers, Shelton, Cooke, Chavous, Rowley, & Smith, 1997) in a sample of African American adult professionals (N=137).   This study found the internal reliability of both scales to be good. The structural validity of the CRIS was supported in principal component analyses, as were the centrality, private regard, public regard, oppressed minority, and nationalist subscales of the MIBI. The predictive validity of both scales also held in this sample, in that each of the CRIS and the MIBI overall were significantly associated with self-esteem and racial socialization preferences. Specifically, the evaluative subscales of each scale (the preencounter miseducation and preencounter self-hatred subscales of the CRIS and the private regard subscale of the MIBI) uniquely were associated significantly with self-esteem. As predicted, higher scores on the immersion-emersion anti-white and internalization Afrocentricity subscales of the CRIS and the centrality and nationalist ideology subscales of the MIBI were associated uniquely with preference to socialize with Blacks only. Higher scores on the non-race focused ideologies subscales (the CRIS’s preencounter assimilation and  internalization multiculturalist inclusive subscales and the MIBI’s assimilation and humanist subscales), along with the MIBI’s public regard subscale, were associated with preference to socialize with racially mixed groups. In addition, the MIBI overall predicted past GPAs, racial organization membership, and perceived racism in the past year and over a lifetime in this sample. Results have implications for African American mental health service delivery.

Breast Cancer Prevention by Inhibition of Estrogen Action

description: Breast cancer is a highly prevalent disease that destroys the lives of women from their reproductive years through postmenopausal ages. Tamoxifen therapy, which was shown in a recent study to lessen the risk of breast cancer, reduces estrogen activity in the breast. However, this therapy also modifies the ability of other tissues to respond to estrogen, tissues which benefit from estrogen action, causing adverse effects on reproduction, cardiovascular fitness, menopausal symptoms, and uterine cancer risk. Therefore, to circumvent these problems, we will test a novel means of breast cancer prevention that inhibits estrogen action in the breast, but not in other tissues that benefit from the actions of this hormone.

 In the breast and other tissues that respond to estrogens, estrogen acts by interacting with a protein known as the estrogen receptor. The presence of this receptor in breast cancer is used by physicians to determine treatment strategies for the patient. Our design involves interfering with the normal actions of the estrogen receptor in order to modify the tissue's ability to respond to estrogen. As shown with tamoxifen, interfering with estrogen's ability to stimulate the growth of breast cells can reduce the risk of breast cancer. In this study, we propose to investigate the ability to inhibit estrogen receptor action, in the presence of estrogen, to prevent breast cancer in mice. These mice develop mammary cancer that frequently spreads to the lungs. We will determine whether the mice remain tumor-free for longer periods and if the number of tumors that develop and that invade the lung are reduced in mice that have the modified receptor compared to mice that do not, as is suggested by our preliminary results.

 Demonstrating in our mouse model that estrogen action can be suppressed in the breast in the presence of estrogen would provide the evidence to guide the development of new breast cancer prevention therapies for pre- and post-menopausal women. By devising a therapy that can simultaneously protect organs that need estrogen and protect the breast from estrogen, the benefits to women's health and life span would be immense. Development of this novel method to defeat estrogen effects on breast cancer would substantially reduce the impact of the disease without adversely affecting mammary gland function. In addition, the benefits would include an improved quality of life, especially for women in their reproductive years or at high risk for other life threatening diseases associated with loss of estrogen, such as osteoporosis and heart disease.

description: This dissertation uses a range of economic tools to analyze and understand criminal behavior, particularly theft. The first chapter outlines a number of key issues and stylized facts observed in criminal behavior, and provides an outline of the chapters that follow.    The second chapter proposes a simple threshold model of theft, and develops a number of structural estimators based on this model. It then tests the model against data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, 1997 Cohort. The evidence suggests that the key determinant of theft behavior is the costs of theft to the thief, and in particular the thief's perception of future costs. There does not seem to be significant variation in the benefits of theft; that is, there is no sign that some individuals are more capable of theft than others. The data also shows that theft behavior is usually very short-lived, with the vast majority of thieves showing activity for less than one year in adolescence.     The third chapter looks at the temporal pattern of criminal behavior (frequently termed a ``criminal career'' or ``trajectory'') in individuals' lives, up to the age of 25-30. It uses three different data sets, based on several methods of observation, and finds a number of similarities. In contrast to earlier work describing criminal careers, the data suggest that the two measures of age-specific inclination and individual-specific intensity are the key to describing patterns in criminal behavior. Specifically, there is significant evidence that an individual A committing a single crime at age 14 has more in common with individual B who commits only one crime, at age 24, than C who commits three crimes at age 14.    The fourth chapter looks at the decision to steal in the context of a simple model of human capital accumulation, as a way to tease out the relative role of labor substitution and impatience in individuals' decision to steal. The data support the role of impatience a significant driver. First, individuals who report stealing show a wage and labor market participation pattern strongly consistent with a low discount rate. Second, individuals who report stealing show significant underinvestment in education, with lower enrollment rates and higher grade repetition than comparable non-thieves. Finally, individuals who report stealing show a larger number of employers, suggesting underinvestment in long-term career success.

description: Polistes yamanakai Sonan 1937 (= Polistes nipponensis Pérez 1905)
Compared with Polistes mandarinus de Saussure 1853 from China, Sonan (1937) described Polistes yamanakai based on the holotype Ƥ from Tokyo, and a paratype 3 (from Atami) and 7 paratype Ƥ (from Tokyo, Atami, Ise, Yamanashi, Oita [Obira], and Nagasaki). All of these types are in TARI.
Type material. The HOLOTYPE, of which the head is detached and glued on a card, is lacking both antennae leaving only the scapes intact; it is labelled “Tokyo / 2-VII-1931 / M. Nakamura”, “ Polistes / mandarinus Ƥ / Sauss / det. M. Yamanaka”, “ Polistes / yamanakai / Sonan”, the circular type label, and “150”. The PARATYPE 3 has a label of collection data “10 [unreadable] 908 / Atami”). Each of six of the seven paratype females have respectively a collection data label as “VIII Tokyo / T. Shiraki”, “ISE / 1928 / J. YAMANOUCHI”, “Nishigahara / TOKYO / 24 V 1932 / Y. Nakamura”, “Yamanashi / VII 1929 / C. Masuda”, “Obira / Kyushu / 5-VIII-1932 / T. Shiraki”, and “Nagasaki / 31 V 1913 / Y. Horikawa”. One Ƥ with Sonan's identification label and paratype label and “150” could correspond to the paratype Ƥ mentioned by Sonan as “Ƥ, Atami, Aug. 10 1908, T. Shiraki”.
All of these types belong to Polistes nipponensis Pérez, 1905 and the synonymy of Polistes yamanakai Sonan, 1937 under Polistes nipponensis Pérez, 1905 has been confirmed.

description: Tablet dissolution modeling has seen many efforts from both empirical and physical  approaches. We present an expandable 3-D Cartesian framework for modeling multiple  physical processes involved in tablet dissolution, which allows for a more straightforward  generation of models while maintaining powerful model manipulation. Also presented  is an experimental technique for quantifying solvent penetration and dynamic surface  erosion. Two types of solid oral dosage forms are experimentally characterized and then  modeled. One system is governed by drug particle dissolution, the other by surface  erosion.

description: Vespa matsumurai Sonan 1935 (= Vespa ducalis Smith 1852)
Type material. Sonan (1935b), having compared with Vespa ducalis var. pulchra, described this nominal taxon from Tokyo, Japan. He gave the same collection data “Ƥ, Tokyo, Oct. 13 1932 (Y. Nakamura)” for the holotype and the paratype. In TARI, there are the following three female specimens: 1 Ƥ labeled “Nishigahara / Tokyo / 13 X. 1932 / Y. Nakamura”, Type label, “ Vespa / matsumurai / Sonan / DET. J. SONAN ”, and “164”; 1 Ƥ labeled “Nishigahara / Tokyo / 13 X. 1932 / Y. Nakamura”, Paratype label, “ Vespa / matsumurai / Sonan / DET. J. SONAN ”, and “165”; and 1 Ƥ labeled “ISE / 1928 / J. YAMANOUCHI”, “ Vespa / matsumurai / Sonan / DET. J. SONAN ”, Paratype label, and “166”. As Sonan (1935b) did not mention the specimen from Ise, the specimen does not have any type status.

description: The scarcity of freshwater resources being currently experienced in water stressed and most developing countries has prompted millions of smaller communities to depend on wastewater for agriculture, drinking, bathing and fishing. In this context, the treatment option of textile and tannery wastewater containing heavy metals and dyestuffs used for agriculture is the subject of interest in this research. Release of these micro-pollutants into the water bodies especially surface water has been an issue of concern amongst researchers due to the health risks associated with such metals when found in the food chain. Although, conventional wastewater treatment technologies exist; however, they are inefficient at much lower concentrations, design process is complex and are usually very expensive. As such, the essence of this study is to devise a simple, efficient, affordable and reliable technology for wastewater treatment using low cost adsorbents. [Continues.]

Improving the stability of beta-carotene and citral by nanoemulsions
Creators: name: Yang, Xiaoqing
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: In this study, various nanoemulsion formulations were prepared to encapsulate non-polar beta-carotene and partly polar flavor molecule citral.   For the encapsulation of beta-carotene, the nanoemulsion core material was a mixture of both solid lipid (palm kernel fat) and liquid oil (medium chain triglyceride, MCT). Aqueous nanoemulsion dispersions were obtained by the combination of high speed and high pressure homogenization processes and the solid nanoemulsion powders were also obtained by lyophilization using sucrose as the cryoprotectant. For the aqueous dispersions, the formulation using pure palm kernel fat as the lipid phase was the best one to protect beta-carotene from degradation. For the freeze-dried samples, the incorporation of liquid MCT oil is necessary to disturb solid lipid crystallization to protect beta-carotene. The in vitro digestion experiments were performed to evaluate the bioaccessibility of beta-carotene in palm kernel fat nanoemulsion and MCT nanoemulsion; the results showed that the bioaccessibility of beta-carotene was greatly improved after encapsulation. The palm kernel fat had better performance than the MCT to release beta-carotene from the nanoemulsion formulations.   For the encapsulation of citral, two strategies were developed to improve citral stability at acidic condition (pH = 3.0). The first strategy was to incorporate six different natural antioxidants (black tea extract, ascorbic acid, naringenin, tangeretin, beta-carotene and tanshinone) with citral together in the palm kernel fat nanoemulsions.  The second strategy was to construct multilayer nanoemulsions to encapsulate citral. The multilayer emulsions were prepared by the layer-by-layer deposition technique between oppositely charged emulsion droplets and two polymer coatings: chitosan (CS) and ε-polylysine (EPL). The stability of citral as well as the production of the off-flavor compounds was analyzed by solid phase microextraction gas chromatography (SPME-GC). The results suggested that encapsulation of citral in combine with the appropriate antioxidants (beta-carotene, tanshinone and black tea extract) could greatly enhance citral’s chemical stability during storage; and the additional cationic chitosan interfacial layer was also effective to improve the stability of citral.

Damage mechanisms of matrix cracking and interfacial debonding in random fiber composites under dynamic loadings
Creators: name: Yang, Wensong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: By considering the wide applications of composite materials, it is necessary to have a proper knowledge of dynamic behavior as well as static behavior reflecting the damage in composite materials. Strain rates have significant effects on dynamic behavior in composite materials when they are under dynamic loadings.           In this thesis, a multiscale numerical approach with finite element code ABAQUS is developed to characterize failure criteria to express static and dynamic damage mechanisms of matrix cracking and interfacial debonding under uniaxial tensile loadings for composite materials. The random epoxy/glass composite material is investigated under three strain rates: quasi-static, intermediate and high, corresponding to 10-4, 1 and 200 s-1, respectively. A representative volume element (RVE) of a random glass fiber composite is employed to analyze microscale damage mechanisms of matrix cracking and interfacial debonding, while the associated damage variables are defined and applied in a mesoscale stiffness reduction law. The macroscopic response of the homogenized damage model is investigated using finite element analysis and validated through experiments. The random epoxy/glass composite specimens fail at a smaller strain; there is less matrix cracking but more interfacial debonding accumulated as the strain rate increases.  The dynamic simulation results of stress strain response are compared with experimental tests carried out on composite specimens, and a respectable agreement between them under the low strain rate is observed. Finally, a case study of a random glass fiber composite plate containing a central hole subjected to tensile loading is performed to illustrate the applicability of the multiscale damage model.

description: It is easily appreciated how the environment can effect the function and appearance of a living organism. An analogous process occurs at the level of an individual cell interacting with its local environment. Although the different cells in the body have the same genetic information in their DNA, they become specialized for various functions. A critical factor in maintaining a cell’s specialized structure and function is the immediate surrounding environment. As proof of this, cells upon removal from their natural habitat in a living organism lose their morphological and functional differences. Our laboratory studies the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is a fibrous network of proteins and glycosaminoglycans that forms the immediate environment of a cell. After properly ‘sensing’ its environment, a cell assumes the normal physiological state and mutually interacts with the ECM to create a state of ‘dynamic reciprocity’. The specific cell surface receptors involved in sensing this reciprocity are the ‘integrins’, which trigger the critical signaling events within the cell. The ‘processing’ of the ECM-integrin interactions regulates the three available options for a cell: (i) growth/division, (ii) changes in function (differentiation), or (iii) death (apoptosis).

 We are pursuing the hypothesis that ‘incorrect sensing’ of this ECM signaling is a hallmark of cancer cells. Normal breast epithelial cells are in contact with a ‘basement membrane’ that consists of ECM molecules. We have found that this cell-ECM association regulates specific genes. An almost complete reversion of breast tumor cells to a normal breast cell phenotype has been obtained in a cell culture model, by blocking incorrect ECM signaling in the tumor cells. This fellowship is focused on the mechanism of ‘ECM responsiveness’ of normal mammary epithelial cells and ‘ECM-unresponsiveness’ of breast tumor cells. I will examine specific pathways in the cell that link the ECM-integrin interactions at the cell surface with the regulation of genes through so-called ‘transcription factors’. We have identified the ‘transcription factors’ that allow a normal mammary cell to function appropriately to produce differentiation (milk) proteins, and now are in a position to determine how this process is disrupted in tumor cells. Our eventual goal is to regain ‘ECM-responsiveness’ that could either reverse or inhibit the invasive/unregulated growth processes that characterize breast cancer cells by manipulating these ‘transcription factor’ pathways.
Action or contemplation?

description: My dissertation narrates how artists and writers in fin de siècle Italy restaged the dilemma of action and contemplation in order to understand the nature and function of humanistic knowledge and the role of the man of letters in the increasingly modern society of the newly unified Italian nation. In Italy, at the turn of the twentieth century, two models prevailed, that of the aesthete, devoted to the cult of Beauty, and that of the engaged intellectual, who supported the revival of nationalism. I argue that the problem of the intellectual's role in society had not only a political dimension, but also an ethical and an aesthetic one, inasmuch as it involved a reflection on the moral utility of art and literature and on the process behind artistic creation. In addition, I show that the two models of conduct, action and contemplation, are not radically opposed, but rather inextricably entwined, as they both represent attempts to negotiate a function for the man of letters in modernity. Thus, my dissertation sheds light on the relationship between late nineteenth century Aestheticism and modern nationalism. The dilemma discussed in this thesis provides insight into similar issues of the present day as we continue to debate the utility of humanistic knowledge in our post-modern society.
