title: "It wasn't supposed to be hairy": From Variant Glyphs to Rendered Ecologies of Code, Constraint, and Culture
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation uses an ecological approach to examine a type of emergent, dynamic text that’s rapidly permeated both public and private everyday communication/communicative practices around the world: emoji. Unlike visually similar “smiley” graphics, emoji are encoded characters supported by the Unicode Consortium. While many popular “emoji” keyboard apps, such as Bitmoji, simply make it easier for users to copy and paste an image into a message, emoji are cross-platform compatible characters with variant glyphs, and each emoji character has a unique hexadecimal codepoint provided by Unicode. It is in part due to this compatibility that emoji are becoming increasingly relevant on a global scale¬—both in terms of their cultural significance and the manner in which they facilitate a growing worldwide trend of hybrid writing (Danesi, 2017). Yet the encoded nature of emoji also presents technological and cultural constraints, such as (1) unexpected design variations across platforms (as suggested in the title of this dissertation), (2) deficiencies in text mining tools that either don’t account for emoji accurately or omit them altogether (as demonstrated in my four-month quantitative study of U. S. Senators’ emoji use on Twitter [chapter 4]), and (3) the Unicode Consortium’s absolute control over which emoji it chooses to adopt, encode, and support (as explained in my analysis of the emoji proposal system [chapter 5]). While the fields of digital and visual rhetoric, writing studies, and professional communication have addressed and analyzed both the rhetorical nature of visual texts and the rhetorical properties of the systems which process texts and through which texts circulate, emoji rhetoric represents a unique intersection of these fields and challenges some of our past and present methodological paradigms for visual and digital rhetoric. In response, my dissertation aims to expand upon previous work in digital and visual rhetoric as well as circulation studies in order to create the sorts of digital rhetoric methodologies that are necessary to theorize the rhetorical affordances of emoji and to account for the technological, cultural, and political factors that mediate those affordances. I argue that the rhetoric of emoji necessitates a flexible methodological and theoretical framework that can balance the deterministic elements of code and platform, the creative agency of digital writers, and the broader structural, cultural, and political elements that influence how emoji circulate (or fail to circulate) across different platforms and networks. This project will demonstrate that emoji rhetoric represents a convergence and expansion of the field’s establish interests in digital, procedural, public, algorithmic, visual, and machinic rhetoric(s).

description: Understanding genotypic variability in tolerance to heat stress during flowering, a critical growth stage, and post-stress recovery remains limited in mungbean (Vigna radiata) genotypes. This study investigates the genetic variability in in vitro pollen viability, seed set, and grain yield among mungbean genotypes in response to transient high temperatures. Thirteen genotypes were evaluated in a glasshouse study, and four in a field study, subjected to high temperatures (around 40 °C/22 °C day/night) imposed midday during flowering. Across all genotypes, the pollen viability percentage significantly decreased from 70% to 30%, accompanied by reductions in the pod size and seed number per pod, and increases in unfertilized pods and unviable seeds. However, the seed yield per plant significantly increased for four genotypes (M12036, Celera-II AU, Crystal, and M11238/AGG325961), attributed to elevated shoot growth and pod numbers under high-temperature treatment in the glasshouse study. Conversely, Satin II, which exhibited the highest stress tolerance index, recorded a greater seed yield under optimum conditions compared to high temperatures. Similar genotypic variability in post-heat-stress recovery and rapid growth was observed in the field study. Under non-limiting water conditions, mungbean genotypes with a relatively more indeterminate growth habit mitigated the heat stress’s impact on their pollen viability by swiftly increasing their post-stress vegetative and reproductive growth. The physiological mechanisms underlying post-stress rapid growth in these genotypes warrant further investigation and consideration in future breeding trials and mitigation strategies.

description: p-Chloro-m-cresol(PCMC) is widely used in pharmaceutical industries as biocide and preservative. However, it faces the problems of solubility in water and photo degradation. The aim of present study was to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on physical, thermal and spectral properties of PCMC. For this study, PCMC sample was divided into two groups i.e., one served as treated and other as control. The treated group received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment and both control and treated samples of PCMC were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analyser, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GCMS). The XRD result showed a 12.7% increase in crystallite size in treated samples along with increase in peak intensity as compared to control. Moreover, surface area analysis showed a 49.36% increase in surface area of treated PCMC sample as compared to control. The thermal analysis showed significant decrease (25.94%) in the latent heat of fusion in treated sample as compared to control. However, no change was found in other parameters like melting temperature, onset temperature of degradation, and Tmax (temperature at which maximum weight loss occur). The FT-IR spectroscopy did not show any significant change in treated PCMC sample as compared to control. Although, the UV-Vis spectra of treated samples showed characteristic absorption peaks at 206 and 280 nm, the peak at 280 nm was not found in control sample. The control sample showed another absorbance peak at 247 nm. GC-MS data revealed that carbon isotopic ratio (δ13C) was changed up to 204% while δ18O and δ37Cl isotopic ratio were significantly changed up to 142% in treated samples as compared to control. These findings suggest that biofield treatment has significantly altered the physical, thermal and spectroscopic properties, which can affect the solubility and stability of p-chloro-m-cresol and make it more useful as a pharmaceutical ingredient.

description: This study examined the effect of drinking water enhancement with specific metal ions, which are commonly found in the brain, and the impact on an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Mice with the amyloid precursor protein (APP) Tg2576 mutation were used to examine the effect of metal iron overload on brain pathology and behavioral outcomes. Transgenic (Tg) and wild-type (wt) mice were placed into one of the following water groups zinc-enhanced water (10ppm ZnCO3), zinc plus copper-enhanced water (10ppm ZnCO3, 2ppm Cu), iron enhanced water (10ppm FeNO3), or lab tap water. Two groups were tested, group 1 examined initial prenatal exposure to iron and group 2 examined initial exposure to all metals at adolescence (or three months of age). At twelve months animals were tested in the novel object recognition (NOR) apparatus, a behavioral assessment of recognition memory. After testing, animals were sacrificed and histological brain analyses were conducted on transgenic animals to determine differential changes in plaque pathology by Congo red staining. The results of this study showed that the NOR task has the potential to be used as a standard recognition (memory) deficit task for transgenic mice. Transgenic animals consistently sniffed for a shorter duration on the novel object than the wild-type animals, in both the prenatal and adolescent exposure groups. There was no significant difference for any water types, indicating metal enhancement may affect novel object recognition. However, unexpectedly, the results showed that animals raised on iron-enhanced water performed better than lab tap water animals. In group 1, Tg lab animals failed to show object recognition while Tg iron animals maintained object recognition. In group 2, iron animals sniffed more than lab animals on either the standard or the novel object, regardless of genotype. Also unexpectedly, there was no change in object recognition due to either initial prenatal or adolescent exposure to iron. Although increased exposure to iron did not impair novel object recognition, it did diminish the level of sniffing. This suggests that regardless of the exposure time to iron-enhanced water, there is evidence to suggest a remediation effect of recognition memory for these mice due to iron enhancement. For both groups, plaque load was dependent on region of interest with higher plaque burden in the hippocampus. This was expected as the hippocampus is one of the first areas of the brain to develop plaques in AD. Overall, these results indicate that NOR can be used to assess transgenic mice and that iron may exhibit a rescuing effect for recognition memory deficits caused by the Alzheimer’s disease.

description: This document calculates targeting performance indicators of electricity subsidies in Mexico, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Uruguay. To do this, beneficiary and benefit incidence indicators are calculated using official household survey data and administrative records on electricity tariffs. In addition, this paper calculates inclusion and exclusion errors in the targeting of electricity subsidies. The results show that the share of poor households that receive the subsidy is very large in Mexico, Panama, and the Dominican Republic. However, the distribution of the subsidy is regressive in absolute terms, which implies that most of every dollar spent on keeping electricity prices low will benefit the wealthiest households. This document also finds large inclusion errors suggesting that an important share of the non-poor is also benefiting from the subsidy. These results shed light on the evaluation of electricity subsidies in the region to improve targeting and optimisation of resources.

description: Thiosemicarbazones and their analogues are of significant interest due to their antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer properties. Recent advancements in nanoparticle-based therapeutics have enabled targeted cancer cell treatment while minimizing harm to healthy cells. This study focused on encapsulating patented N(1)-R1-salicylidene-N(4)-R2-salicylidene-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone complexes into albumin nanocarriers, creating albumin-bound Fe(III)-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazone (ALB-FeTc) nanoparticles via a novel UV-C lamp-assisted method. The nanoparticles were characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis, DLS and EDX-SEM. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in MCF-7 breast cancer cells and HUVEC cells using an MTT assay. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry were employed to investigate the mechanism of cell death. The study demonstrated strong cytotoxicity of FeTcs against cancer cells, with enhanced effects observed for ALB-FeTcs. The ALB-FeTcs induced apoptosis selectively in cancer cells while sparing normal cells. These results suggest that ALB-FeTcs are promising candidates for breast cancer treatment.

Design and construction of an ultrasound array for high-resolution brain imaging
Creators: name: Cudeiro Blanco, Javier
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The goal of my project is to develop a new ultrasound neuroimaging modality to mitigate the adverse effects that brain injury has on our population. Acquired brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability in Western countries. Immediate imaging is key to survival and currently, state of the art systems based on X-ray and MRI, are not portable and do not allow images to be acquired at the site of injury. Conventional ultrasound is a safe imaging modality used to monitor brain injury. It is inexpensive and portable, but it lacks the capacity to produce structural images of the entire brain. Ultrasound full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a novel medical imaging modality with the potential to image the brain in high resolution. However, a device to implement this technology in the brain does not yet exist. In this thesis I explore the development of the first brain acquisition device capable of producing fast and high-accuracy brain images. To accomplish this, I investigate different ultrasound transducer types and array configurations, both in silico and in vitro, to determine the best design for their application to brain imaging with FWI, an imaging technique developed in the field of seismology. The first part of my thesis presents early proof-of-concept experiments using human skulls and 2D imaging experiments with a brain phantom. It then progresses to explore the optimal array design for 3D in-vivo brain imaging. My work corroborates the potential of ultrasound FWI to image the human brain and provides the background knowledge required to develop a clinical prototype for in-vivo imaging in humans.

description: Silver oxide has gained significant attention due to its antimicrobial activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physical and thermal properties of silver oxide (Ag2O). The silver oxide powder was divided into two parts, one part was kept as control and another part was received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. The control and treated samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The XRD diffractogram showed that the crystallite size of treated sample was significantly altered on the planes (200), (311), and (220) by 100, 150 and -25% respectively, with respect to control. The DSC result exhibited that the thermal energy required to decompose the silver oxide to silver and oxygen was altered from -12.47 to 71.58% in treated samples as compared to the control. TGA showed that the onset temperature of thermal degradation was reduced from 335°C (control) to 322.4°C. In addition, the rate of weight loss in treated sample was increased by 4.14% as compared to the control. Besides, the FT-IR did not show any alteration in absorption wavenumber of treated sample as compared to the control. Hence, the XRD, DSC and TGA data revealed that the biofield energy treatment has a significant impact on the physical and thermal properties of silver oxide powder. Therefore, the biofield energy treatment might improve the dissolution rate in formulation and bioavailability of treated silver oxide as compared to control.

description: Raw Materials are becoming more and more important for the EU economy but their accessibility is getting crucial, especially the Critical Raw Materials. In Europe there are between 150k to 500k highly variable landfills, thus the EU Secondary Raw Materials (SRM) potential is significant. Existing knowledge, reporting standards and inventory actually used seem to be inefficient. Rational waste management practices could lead to a more efficient exploitation of raw materials and to waste reduction. In this context, the improvement of the availability and accessibility of data and information on SRM together with the creation of European networks will improve the SRM economic and employment potential in EU. Horizon 2020 project, called SmartGround (SMART data collection and inteGRation platform to enhance availability and accessibility of data and infOrmation in the EU territory on SecoNDary Raw Materials) supports these activities with international data on landfills, common geoinformation system for information management, data fusion and analysis and prediction tools.
OneProbe: development of a new flexible, microfabricated, device for non-penetrative, multimodal monitoring of the injured brain
Creators: name: Murray, De-Shaine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis presents the design, fabrication and development of a multimodal, flexible probe in order to monitor the electrical and chemical signatures of secondary brain injury (SBI). Recent literature in this field indicates that SBI proliferates after severe initial damage to cortical brain tissue in the cases of stroke, sub-arachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) via the mechanism of a spreading depolarisation (SD). This proliferation can lead to expanded injuries and worsened outcomes for patients who sustain these injuries. A range of devices and techniques can be employed to monitor the developments of SBI. Pres- sure monitoring (ICP), regional cerebral blood flow (CBF), brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2), electrocorticography (ECoG) and microdialysis (MD) monitoring, when used in conjunction with medical imaging and systemic monitoring, can provide a clearer picture into the devel- opment of secondary injury and brain health in at-risk regions. Unfortunately, due to the penetrative nature of such devices and techniques, these forms of monitoring are not imple- mented as readily by neurosurgeons and ultimately, the dynamic changes that occur during the process of secondary brain injury can go undetected. Of these monitoring techniques, ECoG and MD can provide key information for 1) detecting SDs - the principle mechanism by which secondary brain injury proliferates and 2) monitoring the health of brain tissue by detecting dynamic changes in small metabolites and neurotransmitters such as glutamate, glucose and lactate. In current clinical environments when both monitoring techniques are used, two separate, clin- ically approved medical devices are utilised. In addition to the penetrative nature of the microdialysis probe and the lack of integration between chemical and electrical sensing by uncorrelated placement, vital diagnostic power is lost. Here, a singular device with dual modalities has been developed in order to synchronise the real-time monitoring of dynamic chemical and electrical changes whilst also delivering surface microdialysis in a less penetrative form than the current clinical standard. The use of United States Pharmocopeia (USP) Class VI approved polymer Parylene C as the base substrate with enclosed electrodes, membranes and fluidic channels provides the basis for a new non- penetrative device that can both chemically and electrically monitor the brain, providing real- time information for neurocritical care clinicians.

description: Cotton has widespread applications in textile industries due its interesting physicochemical properties. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of biofield energy treatment on the spectral, and thermal properties of the cotton. The study was executed in two groups namely control and treated. The control group persisted as untreated, and the treated group received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. The control and treated cotton were characterized by different analytical techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and CHNSO analysis. DSC analysis showed a substantial increase in exothermic temperature peak of the treated cotton (450 ºC) as compared to the control sample (382ºC). Additionally, the enthalpy of fusion (ΔH) was significantly increased by 86.47% in treated cotton. The differential thermal analysis (DTA) analysis showed an increase in thermal decomposition temperature of treated cotton (361ºC) as compared to the control sample (358ºC). The result indicated the increase in thermal stability of the treated cotton in comparison with the control. FT-IR analysis showed an alterations in –OH stretching (3408→3430 cm-1), carbonyl stretching peak (1713-1662 cm-1), C-H bending (1460-1431 cm-1), -OH bending (580-529 cm-1) and –OH out of plane bending (580-529 cm-1) of treated cotton with respect to the control sample. CHNSO elemental analysis showed a substantial increase in the nitrogen percentage by 19.16% and 2.27% increase in oxygen in treated cotton as compared to the control. Overall, the result showed significant changes in spectral and thermal properties of biofield energy treated cotton. It is assumed that biofield energy treated cotton might be interesting for textile applications.

description: Raw Materials are becoming more and more important for the EU economy but their accessibility is getting crucial, especially the Critical Raw Materials. In Europe there are between 150k to 500k highly variable landfills, thus the EU Secondary Raw Materials (SRM) potential is significant. Existing knowledge, reporting standards and inventory actually used seem to be inefficient. Rational waste management practices could lead to a more efficient exploitation of raw materials and to waste reduction. In this context, the improvement of the availability and accessibility of data and information on SRM together with the creation of European networks will improve the SRM economic and employment potential in EU. Horizon 2020 project, called SmartGround (SMART data collection and inteGRation platform to enhance availability and accessibility of data and infOrmation in the EU territory on SecoNDary Raw Materials) supports these activities with international data on landfills, common geoinformation system for information management, data fusion and analysis and prediction tools.

description: Objective
In the field of Gender Dysphoria research, GD subjects show a distortion of body image. The aim of our study is that to see if exists a correlation between self-esteem and distortion of body image in subjects with Gender Dysphoria. Later, we have to compare the results between male-to-female transexual and female-to­male transexual and the results between young and old subjects.	Design and Method
We recruited 16 subjects with GD (MtF and FtM) before surgical intervention and we have them administered two tests : BUT, Body Uneasiness Test (Cuzzolaro et al., 2000) for the measurement of distortion of body image and BASIC SE, Basic Self­Esteem Scale, (Forsman et al., 2003 ) for the measurement of self-esteem.	Results
The results indicate that the distortion of the body image are inversely proportional to levels of self-esteem and that there is a difference about levels of self­esteem between MtF and FtM and between young and old subjects.	Conclusions
The results appear to suggest that the Self-Esteem Training could be successful to improving body image and to increasing body satisfaction in GD subjects. It could to be interesting to see if change the level of self-­esteem and the perception of body image in the post-operative.

Genetic, epigenetic and environmental determinants of cervical cancer risk and implications for early detection and screening

description: Introduction: Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is necessary for the development of cervical cancer but the factors related to persistent infection are poorly understood. Many potential environmental and behavioural exposures related to the development of cervical cancer have been studied, but randomised control trials are uncommon, and the reliability of evidence gained from observational studies remains unclear. Meanwhile heritability of cervical cancer has been estimated to approach 36% but genome-wide association exploration has been limited. There is increasing evidence for an association between DNA methylation and cervical carcinogenesis, with potential for use as a molecular marker for early detection of high-grade cervical lesions. Methods: We performed an umbrella review of the literature regarding any environmental or behavioural exposure relating to cervical outcomes. We did a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in women with invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and CIN3 (N=4769) and female controls (N=145,545) in the UK Biobank. Epigenetic signatures were examined in an epigenome-wide study on the Illumina 850K array in liquid-based cytology samples from a cohort of 241 women. Through a systematic review and meta-analysis, we examined the diagnostic test accuracy of HPV DNA methylation as a test for cervical cancer. Results: From 171 meta-analyses we found strong evidence relating to HIV positivity (RR=2.20, (95%CI=1.89-2.54)), vaginal dysbiosis (RR=1.59(1.40-1.81)) and chronic immunosuppressive therapy (RR=1.33(1.89-2.54)) for cervical cancer outcomes. Novel genetic loci rs1017546 (PAX8;P=1.07x10-9) and rs27069 (CLPTM1L;P=1.51x10-9), and previously reported rs9272050 (HLA-DQA1;P=2.51x10-28) were strongly associated to cervical cancer. EWAS further identified two independent CpG sites in PAX1 (P=3.90x10-12) and NREP-AS1 (P=2.45x10-10) genes that were able to detect CIN3 or Cancer with an AUC=0.92(0.92-0.92) in the discovery cohort and AUC=0.77(0.76-0.79) in an independent cohort. The HPV16 L1 gene had the strongest association with CIN2 or worse, with a pooled sensitivity of 77%(63-87%), specificity 64%(55–71%), and AUC of 0.73(0.69–0.77). Conclusions: This work evaluates and presents the strongest environmental risk factors and substantial new evidence for genetic susceptibility to cervical cancer, mediated through disruption in immune function and apoptotic pathways. PAX1, NREP-AS1 and HPV16 L1 are identified as promising methylation markers for triage of women identified as hrHPV positive at cervical screening.

description: The chlorinated phenols are widely used in chemical industries for the manufacturing of herbicides, insecticides, etc. However, due to consistent use they create hazards to the environment. This study was designed to use an alternative method i.e. biofield energy treatment and analyse its impact on the physicochemical properties of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4- DCP), which are the important factors related to its degradation. The 2,4-DCP sample was treated with Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy and analyzed as compared to the untreated 2,4-DCP sample (control) using various analytical techniques. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed up to 19.4% alteration in the lattice parameters along with approximately 1.8% alteration in the molecular weight, unit cell volume and density of the treated sample. The crystallite size of treated sample was increased and found as 215.24 nm as compared to 84.08 nm in the control sample. Besides, the thermal study results showed an alteration in the thermal stability profile of the treated sample as compared to the control. The differential scanning calorimetry studies revealed the decrease in the thermal decomposition temperature from 137.9°C (control) to 131.94°C in the treated sample along with 92.19% alteration in the quantity of heat absorbed during the process. Moreover, the thermogravimetric analysis showed that onset temperature of degradation was decreased, while the percent weight loss of the sample was increased from 59.12% to 71.74% in the treated sample as compared to the control. However, the Fourier transform infrared and UV-visible spectroscopic studies did not show any significant alteration in the spectra of the treated sample as compared to the control. Hence, the overall studies revealed the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physical and thermal properties of the 2,4- DCP sample.

Global transcription and translation through growth and the cell cycle
Creators: name: Basier, Clovis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: For a population of cells to continuously reproduce, they must undergo two distinct fundamental processes; they need to grow, thus increasing their volume and their biomass, and they need to undergo cell division cycles, thus replicating their genetic information and propagating it to two daughter cells. Growth is a continuous process whilst the cell cycle consists of discrete events that take place in an ordered manner. How the production of biomass is coordinated through growth and through the discrete events of the cell cycles is not fully understood. DNA, the template for all RNA molecules and ultimately proteins, is replicated once per cell cycle. How cell size, the amount of DNA, and cell cycle changes affect the global production of RNA molecules and proteins remains unclear. In this work I develop single-cell assays to measure the level of global transcription and translation in unperturbed populations of yeast cells whilst monitoring the cell cycle stage of each cell and precisely measuring its size. I show that global transcription scales with both size and the amount of DNA, thus supporting the idea that the level of transcription of a cell is the result of a dynamic equilibrium between the number of RNA polymerases associating and disassociating from DNA. In addition, global translation scales with size, but also increases at a discrete stage of the cell cycle in late S-phase or early G2. Finally, the global translation assay reveals an unexpected single-cell temporal variability in the metabolic pathway responsible for the uptake and incorporation into peptides of an exogenous amino acid, and that this variability is modulated by proteins involved in the cell cycle and in the TOR pathway.
