description: Critical assessment of economically viable renewable energy sources is essential for the development of a globally sustainable society. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) offer a viable alternative to traditional silicon and thin film photovoltaic (PV) technologies owing to their potential low cost and facile manufacturing. The two main challenges in enhancing device cell performance lie in improving the open circuit voltage (VOC), and suppressing recombination in the semiconductor TiO₂ matrix. This thesis explores the latter challenge through investigation of a novel microstructured TiO₂ photoanode system. In this research, we have synthesized CTAB-templated mesoporous, anatase, high surface area TiO₂. Through simple supramolecular self-assembly of the TiO₂ particles during the synthesis, we have discovered a self-assembled system of TiO₂ nanocrystallites, which when applied as the photoanode in DSSCs, result in a novel high-roughness film beneficial for dye adsorption, and also lead to enhanced intrinsic light-scattering within the film itself. The TiO₂ nanocrystallites are highly crystalline, with good interconnectivity for improved electron conduction. The novel photoanode film also shows hierarchical meso- and macro-porosity, enabling better access of electrolyte to dye molecules, and thereby improving dye regeneration capacity. In all, we have fabricated a TiO₂ system through a one-step process that incorporates key beneficial microstructural features crucial for enhancing DSSC behavior. TiCl₄ surface treatment studies of this novel TiO₂ microstructure led to deeper insight and improvement of recombination kinetics in the photonanode film matrix, together with enhancement in the intrinsic light harvesting features. Improved efficiency was observed when compared to cells prepared using standard Degussa P25 TiO₂ electrodes of similar thickness. In the last endeavor of this thesis, we have incorporated graphene oxide (GO) in the TiO₂ photoanode films in an effort to gain further insight into recombination kinetics of the novel TiO2 microstructure. Upon heat treatment of the photoanodes, reduced GO (rGO) was obtained. It was found that rGO was incorporated in a much more uniform and effective manner within the novel TiO₂ microstructure compared to its P25 counterpart – likely due to its highly porous structure. Overall, the rGO incorporated novel TiO₂ cells outperformed the P25 TiO₂ cells in solar and optoelectronic properties.

Aurora aurora var. arenosa; Dendy 1916: 250, footnote.
The variety was described by Hentschel from Champion’s Bay off Geraldton, West Australia, approximate coordinates 28.7716°S 114.6017°E, depth 0–1 m (syntype ZMB 4261). The typical variety, also described by Hentschel (1909: 361, figs. 5–6, from the same locality and depth as the present variety, holotype ZMB 4260), differs in having a less sand-encrusted surface, and shorter plagiotriaenes with longer cladi. Other features including the structural oxeas and a complement of large sterrospherasters and small spherasters are closely similar between the two varieties. The differences appear minor as shape, rhabd length and cladi length are subject to intraspecific variability in many Ancorinidae. As they occurred in the same locality it is likely the two belong to the same species and I propose to merge the varieties under the name Rhabdastrella aurora (Hentschel, 1909) as the possession of sterrospherasters identifies the specimens as members of that genus. Aurora Sollas, 1888 is preoccupied (Lepidoptera) and replaced by Rhabdastrella Thiele, 1903 (cf. Uriz 2002: 114).

Different approaches toward the enhancement of drug solubility and/or dissolution rate

description: Nontraditional methods such as supercritical antisolvent processing and ultrasonic processor rely on physical alterations to enhance drug solubility and dissolution rate. They are advantageous because of their application to a wide variety of drugs and relatively short processing time. Our works show reduced particle size and complexation with these techniques results in the modification of dissolution rate and or solubility. Crystalline form of a drug is preferable because most drugs occur in this form and tend to be stable at this condition. Towards this effort new nanosized crystalline coordination drug polymers are synthesized to enhance drug solubility or dissolution rate.  γ-Indomethacin (IMC) is successfully processed with the supercritical antisolvent (SAS) technique. Pure, acicular (needle-like) particles of the α-polymorph are consistently obtained with SAS as the solvent, concentration, temperature and pressures are varied. Controlled changes in process parameters yield significant changes in particle size. Enhanced dissolution profiles are observed with IMC processed with SAS as opposed to the unprocessed IMC. The reduced particle size, as well as the α-polymorphic form of IMC, contributes to the enhanced dissolution rate.  Hydroxypropyl-β- cyclodextrin complexation of γ-Indomethacin (IMC) was processed with the supercritical antisolvent (SAS) technique as well. SAS processing resulted in the highest initial dissolution rate of IMC complexed particles compared to both spray drying and the physical mixture. This initial increase in dissolution rate is attributed to the micronization of particles. The addition of the water soluble polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to the IMC complex enhanced the dissolution rate further.  Finally, the synthesis of new nanosized crystalline coordination drug polymers is explored. These crystalline coordination drug polymers are composed of the drug molecules coordinated to zinc metal ion as a ligand. The dissolution is controlled mainly by the release of the bridging ligands. These new nanocrystalline CDPs serve as potential for enhanced dissolution.

Molecular mechanisms regulating Schwann cell development and injury response in the PNS
Creators: name: Yang, Po-Lung

description: The work within examined different aspects of the Schwann cell (SC)  development and injury response: the initial demyelination, de-differentiation, and the proliferation that follows.  Previous studies have shown that demyelination in the PNS often results from hijacking of these pathways, leading to SC demyelination and proliferation. Therefore, understanding of the mechanism is important as it provides insight into developing therapeutic strategies for various demyelinating neuropathies. The work described in the first chapter focuses on the mechanism of demyelination and identified p38 MAPK as an important regulator of SC demyelination. Using both in vivo and in vitro methods for nerve injury, I showed that p38 MAPK inhibition strongly reduced demyelination whereas its ectopic activation resulted in spontaneous demyelination.  After SCs de-differentiate and demyelinate, the distal SCs become highly proliferative, participating in the injury response to promote functional recovery.  The proliferation of SCs is thought to be an important component of the injury repair processes. Further understanding of these processes may help in promoting functional recovery after nerve injury.  The second part of the thesis examined the role of SC proliferation that occurs during this period.  Using a transgenic animal model in which SCs do not proliferate after injury, I showed that SC proliferation is not required for functional recovery, but rather the excess SCs generated during this proliferative period are removed by apoptosis. Finally, in the third chapter the function of a transcription factor Dlx1 during SC development was examined. Results showed that Dlx1 specifically regulates development of the non-myelinating SC lineage.  In the absence of Dlx1, radial sorting of the axons by non-myelinating SCs is impaired; axons in the Remak bundles remain clustered and unsegregated.  Biochemical analysis showed alteration in the activation state of several regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics and cell morphology.  Correspondingly, Dlx1-deficient SCs exhibit defects in radial lamellae formation, which may account for the axon sorting defect observed in vivo.   Overall, these studies further our understanding of SC biology and provide additional insights into molecular regulators of SC development and injury response.

Remarks
Heteromorphic assemblage of genera with numerous reductions and specializations. The arm spine articulation with only two parallel ridges may be such a reduction, as the type species of Ophiozonella (O. longispina (H.L. Clark, 1908)) has the dorsal and ventral lobes proximally separated by a strong, irregularly denticulate ridge (or vertical series of merged knobs).

Stelletta orthotriaene (sic); Tanita & Hoshino 1998: 21, pl. 2 fig. 3, text-fig. 10.
The forma was described by Koltun from Hokkaido, Japan, Japanese Sea, approximate coordinates 44°N 140°E, depth 93 m. Type material is assumed to be kept in ZIN-RAS.
According to Koltun, it differs from the typical forma described by Thiele (1898: 13, pl. 1 fig. 5, pl. 7 fig.1, from the Sagami Bay, Japan, holotype ZMB 7009, cf. below) in virtually lacking dichotriaenes (but these were indicated as sparsely present), but no further spicule differences were apparent and the habitus of both formas pictured by Koltun look exactly the same. The name is unavailable as it was erected later than 1960 making it an infrasubspecific name (ICZN art. 15.2). In view of the inconvincing differences of the specimens of both formas they are proposed to be merged in a single species Stelletta validissima Thiele, 1898.
Tanita & Hoshino (1998) elevated Koltun’s forma to species and misspelled the name as ‘ orthotriaene ’. This action is prohibited under ICZN art. 45.5.1. Their specimen from Sagami Bay (approximate coordinates 34.8°N 139.37°E, depth 86 m) seems different from Koltun’s specimen because it is much smaller in habit, and the spicules are considerably less long (e.g. orthotriaenes 600 µm vs 6700 µm in Koltun’s specimen). The status of Tanita & Hoshino’s specimen needs to be studied further, and if indeed different from Koltun’s material should receive a new name.

Immigrating in nursing
Creators: name: Shannon, Ellen M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Rationale for the study:  Despite the fact that nursing shortages have been reported for a prolonged period of time across all traditional practice settings within the US (Buerhaus & Staiger, 1999; Buerhaus, Staiger & Auerbach, 2000; 2003; 2009), there has been a growth in the number of nurses employed within the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.  The literature is void of both qualitative and quantitative studies that address the perspective of nurses who pursue professional practice within the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.  Understanding how nurses within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry perceive their professional practice may help illuminate the importance of characteristics of non-traditional practice settings.  Methodology:  Classic Grounded Theory was used to examine the process that nurses undertake to restore, support, and foster their professional practice within the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.  Rutgers University IRB approval was obtained prior to study initiation.  Fifteen participants were interviewed regarding their perspectives of the decision-making process surrounding their migration and establishment of professional practice from traditional practice settings into the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.  All participants met eligibility criteria.  All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim.  This data was analyzed using constant comparative analysis as described by Glaser (1978).  Results:  The theory which emerged from the data is a four phase process which includes: Becoming Disillusioned, Acclimating into the Corporate Role, Achieving Belonging, and Nursing Specialty Actualization.  Immigrating in Nursing is the Core Category which explains how participants resolved their main concern:  to restore, support, and foster their professional practice in the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.  Conclusion:  The study findings illuminate the challenges, milestones, and achievements that nurses within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry consider integral to their professional practice development and specialty actualization.  The inside views of the choices and actions made by each participant in this study demonstrated many of the reasons why nurses within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry value their professional practice and the public health advancement and advocacy that they undertake.
The Woman-State conflict

description: Reproductive rights have been historically steeped in “moral” discourse. The “morality” involves anti-choice policy makers and interest groups taking a protectionist standpoint for the fetus, or “unborn child” by purporting that it is a living person. However noble a cause this may seem, the passing of restrictive reproductive rights policy under the “moral” guise has devastating effects on women. These effects are telling of an underlying cause of the anti-choice movement – one that involves removing women from reproductive responsibilities and processes, thus chipping away at individual liberties, citizenship and bodily autonomy. This paper asserts that the fetus is misappropriated by policy makers and ideological anti-choice groups as a tactical pawn to perpetuate control over women’s reproductive choices. This paper focuses on the seven U.S. states with the most restrictive reproductive rights policies—Alabama, Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota— using an analysis of the language of their policies and pending legislation. Findings demonstrate that anti-choice groups and policy makers forward a normative social construction of women in discourse and images and attempt to make restrictive legislation more acceptable to the polity. Furthermore, findings show that the anti-choice narrative of fetal personhood is a pretense for enacting state-mandated control over women’s reproductive choices. This work supports a growing field of research on reproductive rights policy, as well as provides an analytical approach to how theory underlies policy.

Developing conducting polymer nanocomposites with carbon nanomaterials for molecular  detection and fuel cell applications

description: Conducting polymers are attractive for chemical sensors because their conductivity and electrochemical activity is extremely sensitive to molecular interactions. The inherent specificity of the conducting polymer based sensors stems from the fact that only certain chemicals can trigger a dramatic conductance change. It can be made more specific by further chemical functionalization of the polymer. The use of conducting polymers (CPs) as low-cost electrocatalysts was also investigated in the early history of conducting polymer research and applications. However, their low environmental stability, low conductivity, and electrochemical activity limit their practical industrial applications. Inspired by the remarkable electronic and superior mechanical properties of carbon nanomaterials, especially carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the relatively new material graphene, tremendous efforts have been made over the past decade to fabricate conducting polymer and CNT composites with an aim of synergistically combining the merits of each individual components. In this thesis, a series of novel conducting polymer nanocomposites with these remarkable carbon nanomaterials will be designed and developed with an ultimate goal of sensitive and selective detection of warfare agents for homeland security and low-cost metal free electrocatalysts for fuel cell applications. Experimental results demonstrate that the composite shows dramatically improved performance compared to each of the individual components. The results obtained from these studies combined with an introduction of the state of the art of the development in this field and future prospects will be presented through 6 chapters of this thesis.

description: Stelletta horrens var. subcylindrica Burton, 1926
Stelletta horrens var. subcylindrica Burton, 1926: 4 (no illustration).
The variety was described by Burton from the Natal coast off Sandy Point, South Africa, 29.7367°S 31.3458°E, depth 91 m (holotype BMNH 1924.5.15 with slide BMNH 1924.5.1.79). It differs from the typical variety, S. horrens Kirkpatrick (1902: 229, pl. II fig. 6, pl. III fig. 6, from close-by Durnford Point, Natal coast, South Africa, 28.9167°S 31.925°E, depth 165 m, holotype BMNH 1902.2.13.9), in size and shape, but all skeletal and other features are the same in both. Because the present variety was much smaller than the typical variety, Burton himself suggested the difference in shape (thickly cylindrical with apical depression in the present variety vs. a wide cup in the typical variety) could be age-related and they could be specimens of the same species. I propose to merge the varieties into a single species to be named Stelletta horrens Kirkpatrick, 1902.

Family Ophiopsilidae Matsumoto, 1915 stat. nov. (raised to family rank)
Type genus
Ophiopsila Forbes, 1843 (type species: O. aranea Forbes, 1843).
DiagnosisDorsal disc fully scaled, neither spines nor granules. Extremely long, flat tentacle scales that cross on the mid-line of the ventral arm. Ventral tooth sockets shallow and indistinct, dorsalwards increasing in size and penetrating with septum. Oral plate (half-jaw) higher than long, with large dorsodistal muscle flange (similar to Amphiuridae). Arm spine articulations with two smooth, parallel, straight lobes, in the proximal space between them a short ridge (similar toAmphilimna). Inner side of lateral arm plates with two merged knobs instead of a ridge.
Remarks
The position of this family is variable in our molecular analyses with some trees supporting a sister relationship to the Ophionereidina and others to the Gnathophiurina (O’Hara et al. 2017). The morphological analysis supports a relationship within Gnathophiurina, close to Amphiuridea (Thuy & Stöhr 2016).

Tetilla laminaris var. symmetrica Wilson, 1931: 168 (no illustration).
The variety was described by Wilson from Chesapeake Bay, VA, United States, collected by US B.F. Fish Hawk, Stat. 8082 on Feb. 4, 1921, approximate coordinates 37.5°N 76.15°W (holotype and two paratypes registered as USNM 22065). It differs from the typical variety described by George & Wilson (1919: 142, from Beaufort, N.C., 34.72°N 76.65°W, type material not identified) in shape only, reason for Lehnert & Stone (2011: 322) to suggest the two are the same taxon. I propose to follow their suggestion and formally merge the varieties to a single species Tetilla laminaris George & Wilson, 1919. Type material of the species is not clearly identified in the collection of the Unites States National Museum, so the varietal types may be of value for typification, and topotypical specimens described by Wells et al. (1960: 236 as Craniella) are presumably representative for the species.

Diagnosis
Dorsal disc cover variable, often naked scales, but simple spines, granules or tubercles occur in some genera. Large infradental papillae. Buccal scale higher on the oral plate than other oral papillae. Dorsalmost tooth socket a large, heart-shaped fenestration with incomplete septum, other dorsal sockets as fenestrations with septum, ventral sockets shallow, not penetrating. Oral plates with large wingshaped abradial muscle flange, often with branching ribs. Arm spine articulations with two smooth separated, parallel, straight dorsal and ventral lobes. Lateral arm plates commonly sickle-shaped with pointed dorsal tip. Lateral arm plates devoid of ornamentation except for band of more finely meshed stereom in the central part of the proximal edge. Inner side of lateral arm plates with two to three knobs instead of a ridge.
Remarks
This large family requires revision. Preliminary findings (O’Hara et al. 2017) indicate that there are at least three major clades within the group that fit our criteria for family status. Important genera, including Amphiura, Amphioplus and Amphipholis, are polyphyletic in their current composition.

Shades of life and death
Creators: name: Oku, Makiko
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation reconceptualizes the problematics of wartime sexual and gender-based violence and examines the ontological question of why rape is used as a weapon of war. As human bodies are politicized and targeted in the struggle for power in the “biopolitical” era, I call attention to the mass “production” of wartime raped bodies as a purposeful method to destroy the population without killing and to leave them “alive and dead” simultaneously. Hence, these abject raped bodies occupy a shaded, “liminal” space between the life and death binary or where life and death overlap. I maintain that the peace and security discourse necessitates a paradigm shift by centering on the notion of liminality and examining how raped bodies are inscribed in biopolitics. This move elevates wartime rape as a pertinent threat and opens up a domain for new discourse formation, to discuss rape and raped bodies as a consequential and urgent matter, not as an anomaly or a byproduct of war or simply a gender and race issue, that is overshadowed by the dominant genocide and mass killing discourse. The shift also creates a discursive space to examine how to reintegrate rape victims into the juridico-political, socioeconomic, and civil domains. This entails not only addressing bodily integrity, but also securing legal codification, economic stability, and full citizenship for rape victims. The “deliminalization” process necessitates a comprehensive and nuanced approach, and the discursive modification serves as a set of mental tools for policymakers and peacekeepers in a new and more holistic way when tackling legal, political, and social issues in post-conflict situations. In the three main chapters, I examine 1) empirical aspects of wartime rape highlighting the predicaments of what wartime rape victims experience, 2) social theories on the politicization and “liminalization” of wartime raped bodies, and 3) global and local efforts and impediments to “deliminalize” raped bodies in the judicial, political, and social domains.
