Zinc finger nucleases

description: Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are chimeric, modular proteins used for targeted mutagenesis in many model organisms and human cell lines. ZFNs bind to the designed target through a DNA binding domain and make a double-strand break (DSB) at the site. This DSB can then be repaired by the cell's repair machinery. Previous studies have revealed ZFN-induced toxicity in many cases which most likely occurs due to nonspecific cleavage by the ZFNs at secondary targets. The nonspecific DSBs can lead to unwanted secondary mutations. However, if cleavage at secondary sites is extensive, the DNA repair system is overwhelmed, leading to death of the organism or cells. The work in this dissertation describes the attempts made to develop an unbiased and comprehensive method to define these secondary targets for a pair of ZFNs in vitro in the Drosophila melanogaster genome. The strategy involves capturing all ends made by a ZFN in the Drosophila genome and then subjecting them to deep sequencing in order to define these sequences and the frequencies at which the target is cut. Towards this end, a protocol was developed to capture all ZFN-induced ends in the Drosophila genome in vitro using the rosy (ry) ZFNs. The stepwise development of the protocol is detailed here. The method was then applied to a pair of ZFNs targeting yellow (y) which are known to be toxic in Drosophila. The ends generated at the designed ZFN target were successfully captured. However, capture of other ZFN-induced ends failed. The probable causes of the failure of this strategy were also investigated and are discussed. Additional work involved the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. ZFNs have been used successfully in nematode somatic tissue. However, attempts to generate targeted offspring using ZFNs have been futile due to widespread silencing of the transgenes in the germline. This dissertation also describes attempts to overcome this germline silencing and express ZFNs in the nematode germline.

Neural stimulation

description: The Utah (Slanted) Electrode Array (U(S)EA) provides a high-density, microelectrode interface for neural recording and stimulation. Device efficacy and longevity is crucial to successful implementation. Determining an array's potential  efficacy prior to implantation would prevent low-quality arrays from being used. In  addition, determining the failure modes of an array would be useful to manufacturers  for improving array quality.  The array verification process included soaking the arrays in phosphate-buffered  saline. Five failure-mode analysis tests were developed to investigate the failure modes  of nonimpedance-stable arrays. Also investigated as a potential failure mode was  silicone-coated and non-silicone coated array lead wires.  Twenty-four of the 40 arrays verified exhibited impedance decreases greater than 15 %. However, array quality improved substantially during the study. Of the arrays investigated for failure modes, the failure-mode analysis tests suggest that changes in front-side insulation tended to dominate the cause of impedance drops, although other failure modes were seen. In some cases, nonsilicone coated leads wires failed quickly  and catastrophically, but the alternative silicone-coated lead wires provided improved  longevity and starting impedance.  Arrays can further be improved by electrochemically activating iridium-tipped  electrodes. These microelectrodes provide a low-impedance, high-charge capacity.
Molecular design and nanoscale engineering of organic nanofibril donor-acceptor heterojunctions
Creators: name: Huang, Helin
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Organic nanofibril heterojunction materials have gained increasing research interest due to their broad applications in organic semiconductor devices. In order to enhance the device performance, we have investigated the structure-property relationship of these nanostructures by designing and synthesizing functional building block molecules, selfassembling the molecules into well-defined nanofibers, fabricating the nanofibers into optical and electrical devices, and testing their  photoconductivity and sensor properties. In Chapter 2, we present a simple approach to fabricate efficient nanofibril heterojunctions by interfacial engineering of electron donor (D) coating onto acceptor (A) nanofibers. The nanofibers both create a large D/A interface for increased charge separation and act as long-range transport pathways for photogenerated charge carriers towards the electrodes, and the alkyl groups modified at the A molecules not only enable effective surface adsorption of D molecules on the nanofibers for effective electron-transfer communication, but also spatially separate the photogenerated charge carriers to prevent their recombination. In Chapter 3, we further investigated the effect of D molecular structure and coating morphology on photoconductivity of organic nanofiber materials. A series of D molecules with varying side-chain modifications were synthesized and investigated for the different intermolecular arrangements caused by π-π stacking in balance with steric hindrance of side-chains. Different molecular assemblies of D resulted in distinctive phase segregation between D and A nanofiber, which significantly affects the interfacial charge separation. In Chapter 4, we developed an alternative nanofibril heterojunction structure that is composed of D as the nanofiber, onto which a monolayer of A molecule was coated. Due to the strong redox (charge transfer) interaction between D and A, the nanofibril junction demonstrated high conductivity even without light illumination, which makes this material suitable for applications in chemiresistor sensors for detection of amines. In Chapter 5, a series of perylene tetracarboxylic monoimides were synthesized through a one-step reaction between cycloalkyl amines and the parent perylene dianhydride. The selection of appropriate reaction medium is the most critical for achieving the high purity of product. This approach opens up a new way for large scale production of the monoimides, which are the precursor for making a variety of perylene based building block molecules.
On fast and accurate detection of unauthorized wireless access points using clock skews

Medium Access Control

description: We explore the use of clock skew of a wireless local area network access point  (AP) as its fingerprint to detect unauthorized APs quickly and accurately. The  main goal behind using clock skews is to overcome one of the major limitations of  existing solutions - the inability to effectively detect Medium Access Control (MAC)  address spoofing. We calculate the clock skew of an AP from the IEEE 802.11  Time Synchronization Function (TSF) timestamps sent out in the beacon/probe  response frames. We use two different methods for this purpose - one based on  linear programming and the other based on least square fit. We supplement these  methods with a heuristic for differentiating original packets from those sent by the  fake APs. We collect TSF timestamp data from several APs in three different  residential settings. Using our measurement data as well as data obtained from  a large conference setting, we find that clock skews remain consistent over time  for the same AP but vary significantly across APs. Furthermore, we improve the  resolution of received timestamp of the frames and show that with this enhancement  our methodology can find clock skews very quickly, using 50-100 packets in most  of the cases. We also discuss and quantify the impact of various external factors  including temperature variation, virtualization, clock source selection and NTP  synchronization on clock skews. Our results indicate that the use of clock skews  appears to be an efficient and robust method for detecting fake APs in wireless  local area networks.

description: The foreign body reaction is examined as a continuation of a normal inflammatory response.  A brief discussion is presented of some of the problems and artifacts inherent in the testing of soft tissue reactions to artificial implants.  The process of inflammation and wound healing in presented.  The various factors affecting the foreign body reaction (chemical, mechanical, geometrical, and others) are discussed.  The cellular components of the foreign body reaction are described and the sequential cellular changes that occur as a result of implanting an artificial device are examined.  A comprehensive protocol is presented for the in vivo evaluation of soft tissue foreign body reaction to surgical implants.  A number of methods of evaluation and quantitation of the tissue reaction to implants are presented and discussed.  A strong plea is made for semi-quantitation of tissue reactions, rather than relying of subjective, qualitative methods

Urban decline

description: Magna was once a very lively city and  under went many changes from where  it once came from. The original name of  Magna was actually Pleasant Green and  was established by the Mormon pioneers in  the early 1850's. The town later became  much larger when mining was started in  the Bingham mines just south of town .  A mill was created where the copper ore  would be process and ground down. Many  people from the entire world came to  work there and it became one of the most  ethnically diverse towns in Utah.Small  communities were established such as  Ragtown, Japtown, and Snaketown. These  towns were the first places of residence in  Magna. Ragtown was an area where most  of the miners slept either in tents or shanties.  Snake town was the entertainment  district with bars and saloons and all  the night life. The official downtown was  not established until the early 1900's. The  town was created to be a walkable community.  It was a place where miners would  be able to walk to and from work. It was  a happening place that was named Magna  because of its Latin definition, "Superior."

Data Processing: Metadata

description: To conduct clinical research, data are needed from the clinical routine.  Due to the complexity of today's Healthcare Information Systems (HIS), clinical researchers oftentimes struggle finding relevant information.  As part of the reengineering efforts of the clinical data warehouse towards a translational enterprise data warehouse, a general methodology is developed to describe the complexity of current HIS in all domains, to guide researchers with  a clinical questions to the dta they need, and thus to increase accessibility of clinical data for research.  An information-requirements analysis was conducted with clinical researchers and data warehouse experts in the domain of pharmacy as groundwork for a new translational meta-model.  The results of this analysis were used adapt the strategic HIS management meta-model 3LGM2 and to implement it into the domain of pharmacy.  The new translational meta-model consists of a domain-, a logical tool-, and a data description-layer with interlayer relationships.  Two further layers, added in a perpendicular way give information about access and quality.  This meta-model is implemented as a Web-based solution, providing modeling and browsing functionality.  The presented translation meta-data solution shows a promising approach to the problem of clinical data access in research.  Further research in needed to prove its applicability and usefulness in the daily routine.
Contribution of recently-assimilated carbon to soil respiration

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: The aim of the research reported in this dissertation was to define and quantify the contribution of recent photosynthetic carbon uptake to spatial and temporal patterns respiration of CO2 I conducted a multiyear analysis of soil CO from soils. Carbon dioxide is produced in soils primarily by roots and heterotrophic bacteria and fungi. Roots use carbon from recent photosynthesis or storage for growth, maintenance, and nutrient uptake, and a large fraction of soil  microorganisms live in close proximity to roots and consume short-lived tissues and root exudates. Thus, both of these components largely depend on carbon that has been assimilated only hours to months before. Therefore, it was expected that seasonal patterns of uptake and use of carbon associated with particular vegetation types would be primary drivers of spatial and temporal variability in soil respiration. However, it was also expected that these general patterns would be mediated by environmental conditions.

Crossing the Threshold of Temporality: "Story of Your Life" and Arrival
Creators: name: Patrizi, Chiara
Publisher: name:  JAm It! (Journal of American Studies in Italy)
Year: 2020

description: In Denis Villeneuve’s 2016 science-fiction movie, Arrival, the world is disrupted by the sudden arrival of a fleet of alien spaceships, an event that is going to challenge human conceptions of time, language, and free will. The movie is based on Ted Chiang’s 1998 novella "Story of Your Life," and both the original text and its film adaptation deal with understanding and coming to terms with otherness—alien language, time, death, grief—through the encounter of human and extraterrestrial existence and the exploration of the threshold that connects (or separates) life and afterlife. This essay examines the ways in which the novella and the film address the modes of the weird and the eerie, two concepts which have been theorized by Mark Fisher as “the presence of that which does not belong” and “a failure of absence or a failure of presence” respectively. These modes offer a key to analyzing and understanding the strategies that Chiang and Villeneuve employ to narrate a two-fold story which affects the communal as well as the individual existence. With its ostensibly impossible language, such story bears a significance that lies beyond and outside human perception. "Story of Your Life" deals with the “out of”—that outer dimension which lies beyond our experience of the categories of time and space (Fisher 24-25), not necessarily from a scientific perspective but rather from an existential one. Thus, the heptapods’ arrival raises questions (Why are they here? What do they want?) and poses challenges (How can we speak to them?) which open the way for other, more existential questions and challenges. Eventually, failure of absence (the appearance of the spaceships) and failure of presence (the death of the daughter of the protagonist) meet here, and their encounter provides a powerful meditation on the eerie feelings that haunts human agency and affects our understanding of reality.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a nurse-initiated telephone contact with postpartum women at home is an effective means by which well postpartum families can receive continued professional care, guidance and support. The 99 subjects v/ere selected at one U.S. Air Force Base hospital. Both groups consisted of multiparae and primiparae; women who had Cesarean sections were included.  It was hypothesized that mothers who receive nursing follow-up by telephone two days after hospital discharge would identify fewer concerns and less intensity of concerns than' a group of mothers who received no nursing follow-up in the postpartum period.  The research method used was an experimental design utilizing a treatment group and a control group. A pretest questionnaire was completed on all subjects in the hospital. The 62 subjects in the treatment group received a nurse-initiated telephone contact two days after hospital discharge. The phone call was made for the purpose of answering mothers' questions and offering information and anticipatory guidance about postpartum adjustment. The 37 control subjects received no phone contact. At six weeks, all subjects completed an interview and questionnaire developed by the investigators related to postpartum concerns and adjustment.  Data analysis revealed one significant difference between the two groups of mothers in the hospital--control subjects tended to score higher on physical adjustment than did experimental subjects. This initial difference may have given control subjects an advantage in postpartum adjustment and may have suppressed the effect of the nursing intervention on the experimental subjects. Analysis of numbers and intensity of concerns at six weeks revealed only one significant difference between the groups. Multiparous women in the experimental group had significantly greater intensity of concern with family planning than did multiparae in the control group. Correlations found in the data analysis indicated that women who received the phone contact may have become more comfortable asking questions and expressing concerns. The data also suggested that the telephone contact had a cumulative effect with existing home support systems and with the miother's education in reducing the concern with depression at six weeks. The data indicated that new mothers, both multiparae and primiparae, identify a major focus on self care and infant care at two days after delivery with a dramatic shift to focus on psychosocial concerns at six weeks.  Recommendations for further investigation and for postpartum care are included.

description: Increased use of emergency departments (EDs) for nonurgent primary care, overcrowding, and cost factors has forced healthcare systems to promote more 'appropriate' use of the ED. However, few studies have evaluated patients' perceptions of urgency and why they utilize the ED for medical care. This preliminary descriptive study evaluated the utilization of the ED for nonurgent healthcare problems. Forty-six subjects were surveyed prospectively regarding their perceptions of the urgency of their presenting complaints during nonurgent ED visits. Physicians rated the subjects' level of urgency prospectively and retrospectively. The study evaluated patient characteristics and factors that influence the use of the ED. The patients' perceptions of urgency were higher overall than the physicians' prospective and retrospective ratings. Subjects' ratings of urgency were 48% urgent, 18% prompt, and 34% delayed. Physicians rated subjects' urgency prospectively (28% urgent, 26% prompt, and 46% delayed) and retrospectively (26% urgent, 15% prompt, and 59% delayed).
Three essays on distribution and economic expansion of a dual economy
Creators: name: Morrone, Henrique
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation aims to investigate the evolutionary process of a dual economy, using the Structuralist approach. In this sense, the work is divided in three parts. Firstly, we make a brief introduction of the literature on the dynamic between distribution and economic expansion. Specifically, it discusses the Structuralist approach to a dual, open-economy. The review of this model suggests that further  research that incorporates distributive issues might be a fertile avenue (area) to accomplish a better understanding of a developing economy.  The second part presents a methodology to estimate a Social Accounting Matrix for Brazil in 2006 that separates between formal and informal sectors. The  goal of this study is to estimate and to analyze the Social Accounting Matrix for Brazil in 2006. The shares of output by informal and formal sectors are applied as  weights to estimate the size of the two sectors. The results reveal important structural linkages between the two sectors and may serve as data input for future Structuralist Calibrated models.  Thirdly, the last part presents a dual, open-economy model that describes the schematic behavior of the Brazilian economy. We compare the short-run effects of  two major experiments: an income transfer toward workers in the modern sector and an income transfer to workers from the subsistence sector, and discuss them in the context of Brazil. The results suggest that redistribution under certain conditions may lead to economic expansion.

description: 1. The morphological changes observed were characterized primarily be stem elongation and to a lesser degree by changes in leaf shape.  The latter changes were related to the position of the leaf on the stem; the lower leaves were similar in shape but larger leaves were more lancoeolate and smaller in area.  2. The fresh weight yield of peppermint herb was not significantly different from that of the control plants. 3. Following harvest of the herb of treated peppermint plants, a new crop of peppermint was allowed to grow without further treatment.  The second crop of GA-treated peppermint plants was markedly smaller than the crop from the control plants.  4. The yield of oil was reduced when compared on both a fresh weight and dry weight basis.  5. A single spraying of GA produced stem and internode elongation which was followed by a reduction of the rate of stem elongation and the length of the internodes being produced.  In some stems this reduction in elongation was accompanied by loss of apical dominance.  6. From observations of histological sections of the stem it was concluded that cell elongation primarily accounts for the change in intnernode length.  There was no significant increase in the number of cells in the longitudinal direction.  7. In the stem cross section, a decreased number of cells in all tissues was observed.  The reduction of cells resulted in a thinner stem.  8. Leaf cross sections revealed that the leaves were thinner than the leaves of the control plants.  Changes in the shape of the cells were observed.  9. The powdered herb obtained from plants treated with GA was indistinguishable from the powered herb of control plants or from powdered U.S.P. peppermint.  10.  Assays were run on the oils obtained from the treated peppermint plants for the physical and chemical properties specified by the U.S.P. under peppermint oil.  In genera, the oils from plants treated with GA had higher specific gravities than the oils from control plants, were more levo-rotatory, had higher refractive indicies, and contained larges percentages of esters.  Calculated as menthyl acetate and of alcohol calculated as menthol.  Only one oil produced with within U.S.P. specification and that was from a plant sprayed with 10 ppm of GA and harvested in the summer of 1959.  11. From the observation made to date, no recommendation can be made for the use of GA on peppermint crops.  Further studies should be run to evaluate the effects of other concentrations than those used and other methods of application.  Because the control peppermint plants grown n Utah did not yield U.S.P. grade oil, any further work done should be in an area of commercial peppermint production. It would appear, however, the 10 and 100 ppm GA as weekly sprays is either too high of concentrations or is too frequent a spraying schedule for optimum production of peppermint herb or peppermint oil.

description: One feature of United States public memory is the way in which it tends to neglect the Native American perspective on mainstream American history, regardless of their involvement. This holds true even for the nineteen-sixties, a decade that is generally seen as multi-faceted. Even if there are countless established memories of this well-remembered decade, however, the Native American narrative is not one of them. Using Vine Deloria’s Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto (1969) and We Talk, You Listen (1970), this paper will explore Native American understandings of the Vietnam War and the African American freedom struggle. Both were focal points of division in United States society at the time and have since come to define public memory of the nineteensixties, but are rarely considered from a Native American perspective.

"The Paranoia Was Fulfilled" - An Analysis of Joan Didion's Essay The White Album
Creators: name: Colombo, Rachele
Publisher: name:  JAm It! (Journal of American Studies in Italy)
Year: 2019

description: This article looks at Joan Didion’s essay “The White Album” from the collection of essays The White Album (1979), as a relevant text to reflect upon America’s turmoil in the sixties, and investigate in particular the subject of paranoia. “The White Album” represents numerous historical events from the 1960s, but the central role is played by the Manson Murders case, which the author considers it to be the sixties’ watershed. This event–along with many others–shaped Didion’s perception of that period, fueling a paranoid tendency that reflected in her writing. Didion appears to be in search of a connection between her growing anxiety and these violent events throughout the whole essay, in an attempt to understand the origin of her paranoia. Indeed, “The White Album” deals with a period in Didion’s life characterized by deep nervousness, caused mainly by her increasing inability to make sense of the events surrounding her, the Manson Murders being the most inexplicable one. Consequently, Didion seems to ask whether her anxiety and paranoia are justified by the numerous violent events taking place in the US during the sixties, or if she is giving a paranoid interpretation of completely neutral and common events. Because of her inability to find actual connections between the events surrounding her, in particular political assassinations, Didion realizes she feels she is no longer able to fulfill her main duty as a writer: to tell a story. Surrendering to the impossibility of building a narrative, she can only juxtapose images that results in what she defines as a cutting-room experience. Paranoia appears to be a fil rouge that tightens everything together, influencing Didion’s perception of the world and, ultimately, her writing.

description: In this thesis, xurography techniques are used to create an integrated pneumatic card  (IPC) by integrating fluidic channels inside the electronic circuitry of their control system. In the  simplest design of an IPC, there are three main layers: the top layer made of printed circuit board  (PCB), the middle layer made of double-sided tape with air channels xurographically cut in it,  and a bottom layer of PCB. Flow enters through an opening in the top layer of PCB and is routed  through valves and to outlets in the bottom PCB by the air channels in the tape. The surfacemount  valves are attached pneumatically and electrically to the first layer of PCB. By using PCB  as the substrate, the circuitry for controlling the device can be integrated directly onto the same  material as the valves.  A prototype was device created for testing purposes to verify that the device could be  operated within specifications. It consists of an air inlet and eight three-way valves that route air  to four bladders, three pinch points and one flow-through channel. The dimensions of the entire  device measure 2.4 x 3.6 x 1 in excluding the protruding wire attachment.  The modeling of this device was done using a one-dimensional flow assumption and was  used to predict the time constant to inflate a bladder. Key calculations of this model include: an  equation to calculate bladder pressure as a function of time and flow rate, and an equation for  flow rate as a function of pressure. Also, equations to predict the acceleration of air in the  channel were developed. Data for channel expansion due to expansion of the acrylic adhesive are  used directly in the model. These calculations were made iteratively using a spreadsheet. The  results were compared to experimental results and shown to be an adequate representation of  reality.

description: Bayesian networks (BN) have increasingly been applied in water management but not to estimate the efficacy of riparian buffer zones (RBZ). Our methodical study aims at evaluating the first BN to predict the RBZ efficacy to retain sediment and nutrients (dissolved, total, and particulate nitrogen and phosphorus) from widely available variables (width, vegetation, slope, soil texture, flow pathway, nutrient form). To evaluate the influence of parent nodes and how the number of states affects prediction errors, we used a predefined general BN structure, collected 580 published datasets from North America and Europe, and performed classification tree analyses and multiple 10-fold cross-validations of different BNs. These errors ranged from 0.31 (two output states) to 0.66 (five states). The outcome remained unchanged without the least influential nodes (flow pathway, vegetation). Lower errors were achieved when parent nodes had more than two states. The number of efficacy states influenced most strongly the prediction error as its lowest and highest states were better predicted than intermediate states. While the derived BNs could support or replace simple design guidelines, they are limited for more detailed predictions. More representative data on vegetation or additional nodes like preferential flow will probably improve the predictive power.

After the Fremont: fire and vegetation history of prehistoric abandonment and historic occupation of Range Creek Canyon, Utah

description: Paleoecological reconstructions were used to analyze a low elevation wetland core extracted from Range Creek Canyon, Cherry Meadows, a location known to have  Fremont habitation. The data presented here show the vegetation and fire regime changes within Range Creek Canyon from ca. A.D. 1166-1949, following the Fremont  occupation, which centers on A.D. 1050. The fire and vegetation record shows low fire frequency and low pollen influx immediately postabandonment. This can be attributed to the Fremont performing annual maintenance burning for land management and  agricultural purposes and/or decreases in woody fuels due to Fremont use of those resources. Around A.D. 1240 the record demonstrates the arboreal release of Salicaceae and Cupressaceae, and a steady increase in other economically significant taxa, such as Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae, Cheno/Ams, Sarcobatus, Rosaceae, Rosaceae/Quercus, and Ephedra. This postabandonment change in vegetation suggests the utilization of these taxa by the Fremont during occupation, and a subsequent recovery of these plants. In addition to changes in vegetation following the abandonment of Range Creek by the Fremont, the record shows a significant increase in charcoal influx, which is attributed to the lack of maintenance burning and the recovery of vegetation (fuel). The Euro-American settlement of Range Creek Canyon brings a return of low fire frequency, associated with the reintroduction of maintenance burning, the removal of woody resources for building and/or the arrival of cattle on the landscape. Evidence of Euroiv American settlement in the canyon is indicated by the appearance of Moraceae pollen at A.D. 1894.
ESG: Extended Similarity Group method for automated protein function prediction

description: Motivation: Importance of accurate automatic protein function pre-diction is ever increasing in the face of a large number of newly sequenced genomes and proteomics data that are awaiting biological interpretation. Conventional methods have focused on high sequence similarity based annotation transfer that is based on the concept of homology. However, many cases have been reported that simple transfer of function from top hits of a homology search causes erroneous function annotation. New methods are required to handle the sequence similarity in a more robust way to combine together signals from strongly and weakly similar proteins for effectively predicting functional annotation for unknown proteins with high reliability.

Results: We present the Extended Similarity Group (ESG) method, which performs iterative sequence database searches and annotates query sequences with Gene Ontology terms. Each annotation is assigned with probability based on its relative similarity index with the multiple level neighbors in the protein similarity graph. We will depict how the statistical framework of ESG improves the prediction accuracy by iteratively taking into account the neighborhood of query protein in the sequence similarity space. ESG outperforms conventional PSI-BLAST and PFP1, which we have developed previously. It is found that the iterative search is effective in capturing multiple-domains in a query protein, enabling accurately predicting several functions which originate from different domains.

Toward understanding the sensitivity of the QUIC dispersion modeling system to real input data

description: QUIC (Quick Urban and Industrial Complex) is a fast response urban wind and particle dispersion modeling system. QUIC can be used in real-time or in training scenarios such as evacuation and clean up as a result of intentional or accidental chemical or biological releases. QUIC consists of a wind model (QUIC-URB), a particle dispersion model (QUIC-PLUME) and graphic user interface (GUI-GUI). QUIC-URB computes a 3-dimensional flow field in an urban area by enforcing mass conservation on an empirically based wind field. QUIC-PLUME is a Lagrangian dispersion model that solves the Langevin random walk equations. The objective of this study is to validate  QUIC using data obtained from the JU2003 (Joint Urban 2003) field experiment conducted in Oklahoma City. This experiment consisted of tracer gas releases from varying locations in the CBD (central building district) of Oklahoma City with a dense array of samplers located in the downtown area as well as downstream of the CBD at varying distances up to 4km. To validate the QUIC model a methodology was developed  that can be generalized for any dispersion model. Model evaluation in real urban environments involves utilizing field measurements to construct an appropriate inflow boundary conditions that allow for the most reasonable evaluation of the model. It is also important to understand the errors associated with field measurements and account for them appropriately. The work presented here describes the procedure involved in  selecting an appropriate boundary condition as well as using experimental uncertainty in field measurement locations to most appropriately evaluate the model. The sensitivity of the QUIC generated solution to the specified inflow wind profile is discussed. This analysis shows quantitative paired in time and space comparisons of measured quantities (wind speed and direction, concentrations and turbulent kinetic energy) between the QUIC solutions and the JU2003 data using appropriate error metrics to quantify the  overall performance of the dispersion modeling system. To benchmark the performance  of QUIC against an existing standard, the model was compared to a standard urbanized  Gaussian plume model.
