Consumer Demand for Redundant Food Labels
Creators: name: Wilson, Lacey V
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Agricultural economics

description: Previous studies, as well as market sales data, show some consumers are willing to pay a premium for redundant or superfluous food labels that carry no additional information for the informed consumer. Some advocacy groups have argued that the use of such redundant labels is misleading or unethical. To determine whether premiums for redundant labels stem from misunderstanding or other factors, this study seeks to determine whether greater knowledge of the claims - in the form of expertise in food production and scientific literacy - decreases willingness to pay for redundant labels. We also explore whether de-biasing information influences consumers’ valuations of redundant labels. An online survey of 1,122 U.S. consumers elicits willingness-to-pay premiums for three redundantly labeled products: non-GMO sea salt, gluten-free orange juice, and no-hormone-added chicken breast. Respondents with farm experience report lower premiums for non-GMO salt and no-hormone-added chicken. Those with higher scientific literacy state lower premiums for gluten-free orange juice. However, provided information about the redundancy of the claims, less than half of respondents who were initially willing to pay extra for the label are convinced otherwise. Over 30% of respondents counter-intuitively increase their premiums, behavior that is associated with less a priori scientific knowledge. The likelihood of “overpricing” redundant labels is associated with willingness-to-pay premiums for organic food, suggesting at least some of the premium for organic is a result of misinformation.
The evolution of lameness on North American dairies: Addressing current industry challenges and exploring new and existing approaches to reduce lameness

description: Lameness is a key issue on commercial dairy farms, impacting productivity, profitability, sustainability, and overall welfare. As the causes of the disorder are multifactorial the persistence of lameness requires more complex approaches that take into account the existing knowledge we have on risk factors and management strategies and couples these with more novel ap­proaches to the issue. With hoof lesions being the source of the overwhelming majority of lameness cases, improving our understanding of what makes for a successful hoof trimming strategy on farms is a first step in addressing lameness. Howev­er, it is our ability to detect and provide early intervention that is proving increasingly vital to overall success in reducing on-farm lameness. Technology, especially when integrated with existing sources of routinely collected herd data, is one such emerging tool that may hold considerable promise for earlier, more accurate, and low labor lameness detection to allow for earlier intervention. Stakeholders, such as hoof trimmers, vet­erinarians, and nutritionists, can serve as effective and trusted facilitators of the adoption of new lameness management prac­tices and technologies, highlighting the need for their involve­ment in the industry pursuit for lower lameness prevalence.

description: The FARM Program’s goal is to assist U.S. dairy farmers, par­ticipating cooperatives and processors in providing assurance to dairy buyers that U.S. dairy farmers care for their animals, workforce and land in a humane and ethical manner. Over 17,000 second-party evaluations and 480 third-party verifica­tions have been conducted on U.S. dairy farms under Version 4 of the animal care program. Though the majority of farms meet FARM standards, lack of a VCPR and herd health plan signed by the veterinarian in the past 12 months, missing/incomplete continuing education records for employees, not meeting the benchmark for broken tails, lack of pain control for disbud­ding, and incomplete drug treatment records are the most com­mon corrective actions. Overall, a high percentage of herds have met animal observation benchmarks (99% knee lesions, 98% body condition, 97% locomotion, 95% hock lesions, 91% hygiene, and 85% broken tails). Veterinarians are positioned as a critical resource in this program; they are not only needed to comply with program standards and when out of compliance, have a specific opportunity to consult, advise, guide and sup­port clients regarding the health and welfare of their herd.

description: Replicating SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to degrade HLA class I on target cells to evade the cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response. HLA-I downregulation can be sensed by NK cells to unleash killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-mediated self-inhibition by the cognate HLA-I ligands. Here, we investigated the impact of HLA and KIR genotypes and HLA-KIR combinations on COVID-19 outcome. We found that the peptide affinities of HLA alleles were not correlated with COVID-19 severity. The predicted poor binders for SARS-CoV-2 peptides belong to HLA-B subtypes that encode KIR ligands, including Bw4 and C1 (introduced by B*46:01), which have a small F pocket and cannot accommodate SARS-CoV-2 CTL epitopes. However, HLA-Bw4 weak binders were beneficial for COVID-19 outcome, and individuals lacking the HLA-Bw4 motif were at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19. The presence of the HLA-Bw4 and KIR3DL1 combination had a 58.8% lower risk of developing severe COVID-19 (OR = 0.412, 95% CI = 0.187-0.904, p = 0.02). This suggests that HLA-Bw4 alleles that impair their ability to load SARS-CoV-2 peptides will become targets for NK-mediated destruction. Thus, we proposed that the synergistic responsiveness of CTLs and NK cells can efficiently control SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication, and NK-cell-mediated anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune responses being mostly involved in severe infection when the level of ORF8 is high enough to degrade HLA-I. The HLA-Bw4/KIR3DL1 genotype may be particularly important for East Asians undergoing COVID-19 who are enriched in HLA-Bw4-inhibitory KIR interactions and carry a high frequency of HLA-Bw4 alleles that bind poorly to coronavirus peptides.

description: The focus of this dissertation is on bed bug thermal biology. How bed bugs react to heat exposure at the population, behavioral, and physiological levels was explored. The thermal tolerance of different bed bug populations and sublethal effects heat exposure were investigated. The temperatures that cause bed bugs to flee from their harborages was determined using a custom made arena. How bed bug physiology changes after heat exposure was determined using RT-qPCR. Finally, how conspecifics react to bed bugs that have been lethally exposed to heat was determined using still air bioassays.

description: The WHO declared to eliminate hepatitis B virus (HBV) by 2030. However, an increasing number of patients are presenting with low-level viremia (LLV) with the widespread use of antiviral medications. The diagnostic efficiency and coverage area of HBV infection are low. Hence, this study intended to drive the HBV infection detection to effectively adaptable for any small to medium-sized laboratory or field survey. We established, optimized, and evaluated a colloidal gold test strip for detection of HBV DNA based on CRISPR/Cas13a combined with recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) technology. Furthermore, 180 HBV-infected patients (including patients with different viral loads, LLV patients and dynamic plasma samples of patients on antiviral therapy) were enrolled for clinical validation. The strip detection of HBV DNA was established based on RAA-CRISPR-Cas13a technology with a sensitivity of 101 copies/μL and a specificity of 100%. HBV DNA gradient concentration plasmids and clinical samples were effectively identified by this approach. The positive coincidence rate for LLV patients was 87%, while the negative coincidence rate was 100%. The positive coincidence rate reached 100% in LLV patients (viral loading >100 IU/mL). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive agreement (PPA) and negative predictive agreement (NPA) values of dynamic plasma detection in patients on antiviral therapy were 100%, 92.15%, 93.75%, and 100%, respectively. We develop rapid and portable RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a-based strip of HBV DNA detection for LLV patients. This study provides a visual and faster alternative to current PCR-based diagnosis for HBV infection.

description: Improved fabrication of poly(vinylindenefluoride)-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) thin films is of particular interest due to the high electric coercivity found in the beta-phase structure of the thin film. We show that it is possible to obtain high-quality, beta-phase dominant PVDF-HFP thin films using a direct approach to Langmuir-Blodgett deposition without the use of annealing or additives. To improve sample quality, an automated Langmuir-Blodgett thin film deposition system was developed; a custom dipping trough was fabricated, a sample dipping mechanism was designed and constructed, and the system was automated using custom LabVIEW software. Samples were fabricated in the form of ferroelectric capacitors on substrates of glass and silicon, and implement a unique step design with a bottom electrode of copper with an aluminum wetting layer and a top electrode of gold with an aluminum wetting layer. Samples were then characterized using a custom ferroelectric measurement program implemented in LabVIEW with a Keithley picoammeter/voltage supply to confirm electric coercivity properties. Further characterization using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy confirmed the improvement in thin film fabrication over previous methods.

description: The adaptive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 prototype strain and Omicron sublineages induced by BA.1 breakthrough infection in vaccinees of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines have not been well characterized. Here, we report that BA.1 breakthrough infection induced mucosal sIgA and resulted in higher IgG titers against prototype strain and Omicron sublineages in vaccinees than in vaccine naïve-infected individuals. BA.1 breakthrough infection boosted antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis to prototype strain and BA.1, BA.1.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, and BA.2.75 but not BA.4/5 and induced neutralization against prototype strain and BA.1, BA.1.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.2.75, and BA.4/5 but not BF.7, BQ.1, and XBB. In total, BA.1 breakthrough infection individuals produced less extensive sIgA, plasma IgG and NAb responses against Omicron sublineages compared with those against prototype strain. Further, BA.1 breakthrough infection induced recall B cell response to prototype strain and Omicron variant, primarily targeting memory B cells producing conserved epitopes. Memory T cell responses against Omicron is largely preserved. Individuals with vaccine booster did not induce more beneficial immune responses to Omicron sublineages upon BA.1 breakthrough infection than those with primary vaccine dose only. The breakthrough infection individuals produced stronger adaptive immunity than those of inactivated vaccine-healthy individuals. These data have important implications for understanding the vaccine effectiveness and adaptive immunity to breakthrough infection in individuals fully immunized with inactivated vaccines. Omicron sublineages, especially for those emerged after BA.4/5 strain, evade NAb responses induced by BA.1 breakthrough infection. It is urgent to optimize the vaccine immunogen design and formulations to SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Microstructure and thermo-mechanical properties of gradient nickel alloys
Creators: name: Ding, Jie
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Materials engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Gradient structured (GS) metallic materials have shown unique properties including the synergy of high strength and good ductility, improved fatigue and wear/friction resistance etc. One of the severe surface modification technique, surface mechanical grinding treatment (SMGT), has been proven an effective method for the generation of gradient structures in metallic materials. Most of Ni-based superalloys are precipitation strengthened and with an extraordinary combination of high strength, ductility and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. The precipitation behaviors of these materials are sensitive to their initial microstructures. This thesis focuses on the microstructure evolution and mechanical behaviors of two types of gradient Ni alloys. GS Hastelloy C-22HS and Inconel 718 (IN718) Ni-based superalloys were fabricated through the SMGT technique. The gradient structures consist of nanograined (NG) or nanolaminate (NL) surface layer and the subsurface layers with deformation twins. In situ compression test results reveal that intergranular back stress may contributes to the high work hardening capability of the GS C-22HS alloy. Mo-rich thick grain boundaries (GBs) formed in the gradient C-22HS samples after heat treatment. In situ micropillar compression studies coupled with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal that the Mo-rich thick GBs are stronger barriers than conventional thin GBs to the transmission of dislocations, leading to significant strengthening. Furthermore, the formation of thick GBs also contributes to the improvement of thermal stability of nanograins in the C-22HS alloys. The gradient microstructures in the IN718 alloy changed the precipitation behavior and thermal stability of nanograins in the alloy. The studies on precipitation behaviors of GS IN718 alloy reveal that η phase formed in the severely deformed surface NG layer after annealing at 700 oC. Thermal stability studies show that NG IN718 alloy with grain sizes smaller than the critical value of ~ 40 nm is thermally more stable than their coarse-grained counterpart. The underlying mechanisms of strengthening and improved thermal stability of the gradient Ni-based superalloys are discussed based on transmission electron microscopy studies and MD simulations. This work suggests that tailoring the gradient microstructures may lead to the discovery of metallic materials with novel mechanical and thermodynamic properties.

description: An RGBZ synthetic dataset consisting of five object classes in a variety of virtual environments and orientations was combined with a small sample of real-world image data and used to train the Mask R-CNN (MR-CNN) architecture in a variety of configurations. When the MR-CNN architecture was initialized with MS COCO weights and the heads were trained with a mix of synthetic data and real world data, F1 scores improved in four of the five classes: The average maximum F1-score of all classes and all epochs for the networks trained with synthetic data is F1∗ = 0.91, compared to F1 = 0.89 for the networks trained exclusively with real data, and the standard deviation of the maximum mean F1-score for synthetically trained networks is σ∗ F1 = 0.015, compared to σF 1 = 0.020 for the networks trained exclusively with real data. Various backgrounds in synthetic data were shown to have negligible impact on F1 scores, opening the door to abstract backgrounds and minimizing the need for intensive synthetic data fabrication. When the MR-CNN architecture was initialized with MS COCO weights and depth data was included in the training data, the net- work was shown to rely heavily on the initial convolutional input to feed features into the network, the image depth channel was shown to influence mask generation, and the image color channels were shown to influence object classification. A set of latent variables for a subset of the synthetic datatset was generated with a Variational Autoencoder then analyzed using Principle Component Analysis and Uniform Manifold Projection and Approximation (UMAP). The UMAP analysis showed no meaningful distinction between real-world and synthetic data, and a small bias towards clustering based on image background.

description: The rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sublineages mandates a better understanding of viral replication and cross-neutralization among these sublineages. Here we used K18-hACE2 mice and primary human airway cultures to examine the viral fitness and antigenic relationship among Omicron sublineages. In both K18-hACE2 mice and human airway cultures, Omicron sublineages exhibited a replication order of BA.5 ≥ BA.2 ≥ BA.2.12.1 > BA.1; no difference in body weight loss was observed among different sublineage-infected mice. The BA.1-, BA.2-, BA.2.12.1-, and BA.5-infected mice developed distinguishable cross-neutralizations against Omicron sublineages, but exhibited little neutralization against the index virus (i.e. USA-WA1/2020) or the Delta variant. Surprisingly, the BA.5-infected mice developed higher neutralization activity against heterologous BA.2 and BA.2.12.1 than that against homologous BA.5; serum neutralizing titres did not always correlate with viral replication levels in infected animals. Our results revealed a distinct antigenic cartography of Omicron sublineages and support the bivalent vaccine approach.

description: As the downscaling of silicon-based technologies has progressed, fundamental constraints on these convectional materials have made it challenging to keep up with Moore’s law, and eventually, new materials will have to be utilized to progress the downscaling of technologies further ushering in the post-Moore era. Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials serve to be possible candidates to achieve this as they demonstrate exceptional electrical and optical properties at the monolayer limit, and due to their unique bonding structure can be easily incorporated with disparate materials, allowing for integration into novel heterostructures. Coupling this with the recent discovery of ferroelectricity in vdW materials, new ferroelectric phenomenon and ferroelectric based memory can be demonstrated, and potentially implemented in next generation technologies.
description: In my first work, we realized a ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) structure using mechanically exfoliated vdW ferroelectric α-In2Se3, vdW semiconductor MoS2, and atomic layer deposition(ALD) grown dielectric Al2O3. Utilizing the unique intercorrelated in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) ferroelectric polarizations in α-In2Se3 we demonstrate novel FeFET operation by reversing the OOP polarizations through application of an IP bias to achieve non-volatile gating of the MoS2. The fabricated FeFETs exhibited figures of merit with on/off ratios >105 and robust retention times of >102, and showed diminished performed when in an ambient environment, highlighting the importance of an inert environment or surface passivation.
description: In my second work, we investigated optical illumination effects on the ferroelectric polarizations in α-In2Se3 and probe the underlying mechanism for these effects. We demonstrated that optical illuminations can cause uniform ferroelectric domains to become disordered ferroelectric domains, and correlated the disordered states to the illuminations power density and exposure time through piezo-response force microscopy (PFM) and kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). Furthermore, it was also shown that these optically induced changes in the ferroelectric domain structure were meta-stable persisting on the order of approximately 102 days. We also verified the optically induced changes could be erased through application of an electric field through an AFM tip or through a gate bias in a device structure, demonstrating reconfigurability of the illuminated region.

description: The cattle raising sector has played an important role for devel­oping male or female calves with dairy genetics destined for the dairy breeding herd or the beef production system. Quality as­surance programs have become commonplace for food produc­ing enterprises to build consumer confidence that food is ethi­cally and responsibly produced. Calf raisers are a critical piece to this. Healthy calves are the cornerstone of every beef, dairy and veal facility. As no single organization or program covers all calves to ensure optimal health and welfare throughout the supply chain, the Calf Care and Quality Assurance program (CCQA; funded by the Beef Checkoff) was created through the collaboration of 4 industry groups. The National Dairy Farm­ers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM), Beef Checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance (BQA), Veal Quality Assurance (VQA), and the Dairy Calf and Heifer Association (DCHA) are na­tional recognized programs that collaborated to create the CCQA program. Included in the program are science-based guidance for calf raisers covering employee training, continuing educa­tion, emergency preparedness, calf health, animal handling and stockmanship, and management and care. Producers and veterinarians are encouraged to review the tools and resources, get certified in CCQA, and ensure they are following best man­agement practices for calves in their care. It is important that the education that producers, veterinarians and transporters receive is current and up to date, and adapts to this changing industry.

description: The emergence of the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern has changed the COVID-19 scenario as this variant is characterized by high transmissibility and immune evasion ability. To evaluate the impact of this variant on the Canary Islands (Spain) population, we determined the reinfection rates and disease severity associated with the Omicron sublineages and the previously circulating variants of concern. We performed a retrospective observational study on 21,745 SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes collected from December 2020 to July 2022 in the Canary Islands (Spain). We compared the reinfection rates between lineages using pairwise proportion and Fisher’s exact tests. To assess disease severity, we studied the association of Alpha, Delta, BA.1, BA.2, BA.5, and other risk factors on 28-day hospital mortality using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard models. We observed 127 bona fide reinfection cases throughout the study period. We found that BA.5 had the highest reinfection rate compared to other lineages (vs. Delta p = 2.89 × 10−25; vs. BA.1 p = 5.17 × 10−11; vs. BA.2 p = 0.002). Among the 1,094 hospitalized patients, multivariate logistic regression showed that Alpha (Odds Ratio [OR] =  0.45, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] =  0.23-0.87, p = 0.02), BA.2 (OR =   0.38, 95% CI = 0.22-0.63, p = 1.91 × 10−4), and BA.5 (OR = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.16-0.55, p = 1.05 × 10−4) had lower 28-day hospital mortality compared to Delta. These results were confirmed by using Cox proportional hazard models. Omicron lineages, and in particular BA.5, were associated with higher reinfection rates and lower disease severity (28-day hospital mortality) than previously circulating variants of concern.

description: Prospective cohort study to investigate the potential exposure to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) following Hajj pilgrims is still very limited. Here, we report the antibody seroconversion study results obtained from successive three years cohort studies (2016–2018) involving the Malaysian Hajj pilgrims returning from the Middle East. A cohort study of Hajj pilgrims from Malaysia enrolled 2,863 participants from 2016–2018, all of whom consented to provide paired blood samples for both pre- and post-Hajj travel to the Middle East. ELISAs and micro-neutralization assays were performed to detect the presence of MERS-CoV IgG antibodies. Sociodemographic data, symptoms experienced during Hajj, and history of exposure to camels or camel products were recorded using structured pre- and post-Hajj questionnaires. A 4-fold increase in anti-MERS-CoV IgG between paired pre-Hajj and post-Hajj serum samples in twelve participants was observed. None of the twelve ELISA-positive sera had detectable levels of virus-neutralizing antibodies. All reportedly had mild symptoms of respiratory symptoms at a certain point during the pilgrimage, implying mild or asymptomatic infections. No association between post-Hajj serum positivity and a history of exposure to camels or camel products was obtained. Findings from the study suggest that serologic conversion to MERS-CoV occurred in at least 0.6% of the Hajj pilgrims returning from the Middle East. Since all the seroconvertants had mild to no symptoms during the sampling period, it highlights the likelihood of occurrence of only low infectivity spillover infections among the Hajj pilgrims.
