title: Young Children's Nutrition, Growth, and Cognitive Development in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Creators: name: Murphy, Kristin N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: The first few years of life are viewed as a critical period for development. Children who do not grow and develop well in these early years can experience life-long negative implications. Many children under the age of five in Ecuador suffer from high rates of malnutrition, stunting (low height-for-age), and delayed cognitive development. This dissertation aims to better understand why children from Ecuador, specifically from the Amazon region, are experiencing such high rates of delayed development. Fifty children and their mothers living in the Amazon region of Ecuador participated in this research study.
First, interviews were conducted by an Ecuadorian member of the research team with mothers to better understand the types of diets they feed their children, as well as any strengths and barriers they face in feeding their children a healthy diet. Parents discussed how almost every child was breastfed for at least six months, a practice that is known to help reduce the risk of developmental delays in children. Mothers did not follow any routines when feeding their children. For example, they did not eat a certain number of meals per day or at a certain time of the day. Strengths parents talked about included knowing what should be included in a healthy diet, having children who were independent and could eat on their own, and being supportive and responsive to their children’s needs. Parents also discussed how they lacked knowledge of what foods they should be feeding their child, they did not always have access to healthy foods to feed their child, they did not have enough money to always feed their child a diverse diet, and that their child sometimes had illnesses or health issues that made it difficult for them to eat a diverse and healthy diet. All of these were related to the poverty these families experience, which in turn impacted how difficult of an eater their child was.
Next, I found a very high rate (32%) of children were stunted in growth, meaning that they were shorter than expected for their age. These children also had low levels of cognitive development. In fact, 74% had a cognitive delay, indicating that they could not understand, process information, and problem solve to the level that is expected of a child their age. Child gender, maternal education, and domestic violence were related to children’s physical growth (their stunting levels) and/or cognitive development. Female children had better growth than male children, and children whose mother reported lower levels of domestic violence also had better growth. Lastly, children whose mother had completed higher levels of education had higher levels of cognitive development. When thinking about the interviews with mothers and the results from questionnaires they completed, improving maternal education seems to be one of the most impactful and best ways to help improve these children’s physical growth and development so they can grow to their full potential.
Some electron paramagnetic resonance studies of bis-cyclopentadienyl vanadium
Creators: name: Porterfield, William Wendell
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1960
Subjects: Chemistry

description: Section I:
Bis-cyclopentadienyl vanadium was examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) in dilute benzene solution (1). Vanadium nuclear hyperfine splittings equal to 77 Mc centered at g=2.00 were found, providing experimental evidence that the unpaired electrons occupy orbitals with a very small amount of s character. The orbital ground state is shown to be a singlet. It follows that one of the three unpaired electrons must occupy an orbital of a_(1g) symmetry, the other two orbitals of e_g symmetry, and that the g factor is nearly isotropic.
EPR spectra taken of an oxidized solution show hyperfine structure 210 Mc wide at g=1.99, indicating the possible presence of bis-cyclopentadienyl vanadyl, V0(C_5H_5)_2.
Section II:
EPR spectra were taken of a dilute single crystal of bis-cyclopentadienyl vanadium in ferrocene and the angular dependence of the spectra studied. The spectral lines changed from g^e≃2 at a position with H_0 approximately parallel to the molecular symmetry axis to g^e=3.77 with
H_0 perpendicular to this axis, where hν=g^eβH. This angular dependence indicates a zero-field energy level splitting of 47.0 kMc or 1.57 cm^(-1). The bis-cyclopentadienyl vanadium was synthesized by a process originated by Wilkinson (2) but some minor changes were found desirable in product recovery.

description: Networks of neurons in the brain encode preferred patterns of neural activity via their synaptic connections. Despite receiving considerable attention, the precise relationship between network connectivity and encoded patterns is still poorly understood. Here we consider this problem for networks of threshold-linear neurons whose computational function is to learn and store a set of binary patterns (e.g., a neural code) as "permitted sets" of the network. We introduce a simple Encoding Rule that selectively turns "on" synapses between neurons that co-appear in one or more patterns. The rule uses synapses that are binary, in the sense of having only two states ("on" or "off"), but also heterogeneous, with weights drawn from an underlying synaptic strength matrix S. Our main results precisely describe the stored patterns that result from the Encoding Rule -- including unintended "spurious" states -- and give an explicit characterization of the dependence on S. In particular, we find that binary patterns are successfully stored in these networks when the excitatory connections between neurons are geometrically balanced -- i.e., they satisfy a set of geometric constraints. Furthermore, we find that certain types of neural codes are "natural" in the context of these networks, meaning that the full code can be accurately learned from a highly undersampled set of patterns. Interestingly, many commonly observed neural codes in cortical and hippocampal areas are natural in this sense. As an application, we construct networks that encode hippocampal place field codes nearly exactly, following presentation of only a small fraction of patterns. To obtain our results, we prove new theorems using classical ideas from convex and distance geometry, such as Cayley-Menger determinants, revealing a novel connection between these areas of mathematics and coding properties of neural networks.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: The main objective of this dissertation is to investigate different aspects of the pricing and deployment of wireless charging lanes in an electrified road network. This dissertation first explores the association between transportation and power networks, where electric vehicles are used as electric storage units. It then investigates the equity concerns in the deployment of wireless charging lanes, aiming to fairly distribute the short-term and long-term benefits of wireless charging lanes among all network users. Finally, it introduces incentivized control schemes to re-route Infrastructure-Enabled Autonomous Electric Vehicles and lower the congestion in both transportation and power networks. Through the objectives discussed within this dissertation, society can benefit from sustainable means of transportation equitably and efficiently.

description: The interface electronic structure of correlated LaTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices is investigated by means of the charge self-consistent combination of the local density approximation (LDA) to density functional theory (DFT) with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Utilizing a pseudopotential technique together with a continuous-time quantum Monte-Carlo approach, the resulting complex multiorbital electronic states are addressed in a coherent fashion beyond static mean-field. General structural relaxations are taken into account on the LDA level and cooperate with the driving forces from strong electronic correlations. This alliance leads to an Ti($3d_{xy}$) dominated low-energy quasiparticle peak and a lower Hubbard band in line with photoemission studies. Furthermore correlation effects close to the band-insulating bulk SrTiO$_3$ limit as well as the Mott-insulating bulk LaTiO$_3$ limit are studied via realistic single-layer embeddings.

description: This report presents the results of an investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of the NACA symmetrical laminar flow 65,1-012 airfoil. The model was tested with and without a dive recovery flap. The effects obtained by suddenly extending the flap are compared to those obtained with the flap set down in position. The tests cover a range of angle of attack from zero to plus three degrees while the Mach number was varied from 0.5 to 0.8.

The following conclusions were reached:

1. The lift curve for the airfoil with no flap is essentially a straight line.

2. A flap suddenly extended produces aerodynamic effects which are different from those produced by a flap which is set. Whenever model test results are to be used to produce design information to be incorporated in full scale aircraft, the dive recovery flaps on the model should be equivalent to those on the full scale airplane in regard to dimensional proportions and to the method and timing of operation, if a high degree of accuracy is desired.

This investigation was carried out by the authors at the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology during the school year 1945-46.

Design of a large water tunnel

description: A ten-foot-diameter water tunnel is discussed as to feasibility and design, and consideration is narrowed to the working section -- nozzle, throat and diffuser. A non-cavitating nozzle shape is calculated by systematizing the method suggested by Hue-Shen Tsien.

Structural design is approached on the basis of a six-hundred-foot static pressure head; and an additional half- full design loading is calculated as a Fourier expansion. The analysis of the structure is broken down into a number of elasticity problems.

The cylindrical throat is analyzed by membrane theory for the high-head condition; and stresses at and in the supporting rings are thoroughly investigated. More involved methods considering transverse shear and bending are used to check the stability of the shell when only partially full.

Membrane theory is applied to the conical diffuser and to the double-curved nozzle to determine the stress state in both under the high-head condition. Shell thicknesses and member sizes have been selected throughout from this analysis.

description: This paper revisits a sample of ultracool dwarfs in the Solar neighborhood previously observed with the Hubble Space Telescope's NICMOS NIC1 instrument. We have applied a novel high angular resolution data analysis technique based on the extraction and fitting of kernel phases to archival data. This was found to deliver a dramatic improvement over earlier analysis methods, permitting a search for companions down to projected separations of $\sim$1 AU on NIC1 snapshot images. We reveal five new close binary candidates and present revised astrometry on previously-known binaries, all of which were recovered with the technique. The new candidate binaries have sufficiently close separation to determine dynamical masses in a short-term observing campaign. We also present four marginal detections of objects which may be very close binaries or high contrast companions. Including only confident detections within 19 parsecs, we report a binary fraction of at least $ε_b = 17.2^{+5.7}_{-3.7}%$. The results reported here provide new insights into the population of nearby ultracool binaries, while also offering an incisive case study of the benefits conferred by the kernel phase approach in the recovery of companions within a few resolution elements of the PSF core.

description: Cycling tissues such as the intestinal epithelium, germ line, and hair follicles, require a constant flux of differentiated cells. These tissues are maintained by a population of stem cells, which generate differentiated progenies and self-renew. Asymmetric division of each stem cell into one stem cell and one differentiated cell can accomplish both tasks. However, in mammalian cycling tissues, some stem cells divide symmetrically into two differentiated cells and are replaced by a neighbor that divides symmetrically into two stem cells. Besides this heterogeneity in fate (population asymmetry), stem cells also exhibit heterogenous proliferation-rates; in the long run, however, all stem cells proliferate at the same average rate (equipotency). We construct and simulate a mathematical model based on these experimental observations. We show that the complex steady-state dynamics of population-asymmetric stem cells reduces the rate of replicative aging of the tissue --potentially lowering the incidence of somatic mutations and genetics diseases such as cancer. Essentially, slow-dividing stem cells proliferate and purge the population of the fast-dividing --older-- cells which had undertaken the majority of the tissue-generation burden. As the number of slow-dividing cells grows, their proliferation-rate increases, eventually turning them into fast-dividers, which are themselves replaced by newly emerging slow-dividers. Going beyond current experiments, we propose a mechanism for equipotency that can potentially halve the rate of replicative aging. Our results highlight the importance of a population-level understanding of stem cells, and may explain the prevalence of population asymmetry in a wide variety of cycling tissues.

title: Effects of Diet on Gene Expression of Markers of the Gut‐Brain Axis in the Mouse Brain
Creators: name: Hart, Janna
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2023

description: Short-chain fatty acids are biomolecules that are produced from bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber in the gut. Short-chain fatty acids are used in the gut to supply energy and reduce inflammation but are also believed to have effects on the brain. While we do not know how short-chain fatty acids affect the brain and behavior, recent research has led to the idea of using dietary changes as a treatment for mental health disorders. We aimed to visualize where short-chain fatty acids act in the brain with a particular focus on neural immune cells called microglia and the neurons that produce serotonin, a signaling molecule that modulates mood. Seven groups of mice were fed diets that varied in fat content, fiber solubility, and fiber content. We then visualized the effects of these diets on the brain using a technique called in situ hybridization, which allows us to measure and visualize the locations of mRNA for particular genes of interest. We measured mRNA for the receptors for short chain fatty acids in microglia and serotonin neurons. We found that short-chain fatty acid receptors were in high amounts on the neural immune cells and the serotonin neurons, and that they were more prevalent in the hippocampus, which is important for learning and memory. Higher amounts of dietary fiber were found to increase short-chain fatty acid receptor expression in the hippocampus while diets with more soluble fiber were important for increasing receptors in areas where serotonin is produced. Our results suggest that diet-based interventions that control the type of fiber can change the functions of the brain’s microglia and serotonin system, potentially via sensitivity to circulating levels of short chain fatty acids produced by the gut.

description: In this paper, we propose a mechanism for packet marking called Probabilistic Congestion Notification (PCN). This scheme makes use of the 1-bit Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) field in the Internet Protocol (IP) header. It allows the source to estimate the exact level of congestion at each intermediate queue. By knowing this, the source could take avoiding action either by adapting its sending rate or by using alternate routes. The estimation mechanism makes use of time series analysis both to improve the quality of the congestion estimation and to predict, ahead of time, the congestion level which subsequent packets will encounter. The proposed protocol is tested in ns-2 simulator using a background of real Internet traffic traces. Results show that the methods can successfully calculate the congestion at any queue along the path with low error levels.

I.  Determination of the quantum yield of thymidine dinucleoside irradiated by ultra-violet light.  II.  Studies on the inactivation by ultra-violet light of T_4D bacteriophage containing 5-bromodesoxyuridine substituted DNA
Creators: name: Rapaport, Seymour A.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

description: It has been found that when frozen thymine solutions are irradiated by ultra-violet light a photoreversible steady state is formed between thymine and a thymine diner. The suggestion has been made that such photoreversible chemical reactions might be involved in the photoreactivable mutations that occur upon irradiation of viruses with ultra-violet light. In order to give further credence to this thymine dinucleoside, TpT, was prepared and irradiated by ultra-violet light as described in Part I. A wavelength dependent photosteady state was found tobe established by this, and the quantum yield of the reaction of TpT to its photoproduct determined. The existence of this steady state and the magnitude of the quantum yield (0.002) support the supposition that similar reactions may cause the photoreversible mutations in viral DNA.

Part II describes the determination of the action spectrum of in activation of plaque forming ability of T_4 bacteriophages grown in the presence of the thymidine analogue 5-bromodesoxyuridine (5-BD). Under these conditions 5-BD is substituted intothe DNA in place of thymidine. Such substituted DNA has been found to have increased sensitivity to UV light at 254 mμ. The action spectrum was determined to more precisely define this increase in sensitivity and to obtain additional information regarding the UV inactivation of DNA. It was found that 5-BD substituted T_4 was uniformly more sensitive to UV than unsubstituted T_4; this effect was most striking in the 302 to 334 mμ region where a factor of increased sensitivity up to 500 to 1000 times was noted. Furthermore, unlike unsubstituted T_4, killing of 5-BD substituted T_4 was found to follow "one hit" kinetics. The action spectrum indicated that 5-BD was directly involved in the initial steps of inactivation and was compatible with the possibility of transfer of absorbed light energy along the polynucleotide chain.

description: Cancer proceeds from the accumulation of genomic alterations, and develops into heterogeneous cell populations in an evolutionary process. Therefore, the prognoses of cancer patients, such as survival profile, metastasis, and drug response, are encoded by the large-volume genome data. We first investigate the reliable phenotype inference of cancer through well-designed interpretable machine learning models. By leveraging the power of large-scale genomic data and external biomedical knowledge base, we utilize deep learning models for the accurate inference of cancer phenotypes, including transcriptome expression levels, transcription factor activities, and drug resistance. We address the interpretability of models through techniques such as attention mechanisms to identify driver mutations and critical biomarkers. Secondly, we reveal the intra-/inter-tumor heterogeneity and mechanism of tumor progression via robust deconvolution and phylogenetic algorithms. We formulate the deconvolution of bulk tumor molecular data mathematically as a biologically inspired matrix factorization problem, and propose a neural network and then an improved hybrid optimizer to solve the problem robustly and accurately. We develop and apply a Minimum Elastic Potential algorithm to reconstruct the evolutionary trajectory from the unmixed clones. Finally, we improve the prognostic prediction of cancer by incorporating machine learning and evolutionary methods. Clinicians traditionally focused on the pathological features and driver-level genomic profiles to facilitate the treatment. However, it is possible that critical clones, instead of the bulk tumor as a whole, affect the prognoses. We explore the questions by integrating both the evolutionary mutational features, driver-level features, and clinical features to improve the prognostic prediction of cancer. We develop an L0-regularized Cox regression model, and find that the evolutionary features account for roughly 1/3 of all the available features, depending on cancer types and sequencing techniques.

Negotiating the Model Minority: How Indian American Women Rearticulate Dominant Racial Discourse
Creators: name: Shanmugaraj, Nisha
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Rhetoric

description: While rhetorical scholarship has demonstrated how powerful actors and institutions externally impose racial stereotypes, this dissertation upholds the stereotyped individual herself as an active agent in this process of “race making.” Specifically, I analyze second-generation Indian (South Asian) American women as a demographic of understudied rhetors who must continuously negotiate the “model minority” stereotype. While the model minority’s everyday discursive effects shape Indian American women’s lived experiences, these rhetors constantly contradict and exceed normative scripts of the good immigrant woman. I argue that, in their ongoing efforts to create a sustainable sense of self, Indian American women not only reproduce racial “truths,” but also dynamically rearticulate – retell with difference – mainstream raced and gendered narratives. To make this case, I employ a blend of qualitative research methods, including grounded theory and extended case study approaches, on a dataset of twenty-five qualitative interviews conducted with participants who identified as second+ generation Indian American women. In each of my three chapters, I draw from this same dataset but focus on a subset of case studies that illustrate a distinct facet of Indian American women’s race-making. This approach enables me to understand how linked mechanisms of power function in Indian American women’s lives as I theorize the possibility of a Brown women’s collective standpoint, a shared epistemology situated in lived experience. My chapters trace the imaginative, embodied, and interpersonal aspects of race making, respectively. The chapters move from interior to exterior sites of meaning, from rhetorical processes that occur in the mind (Chapter 1, on “disidentifying” from mainstream narratives); to those occurring in and on the body (Chapter 2, on “blending” to contain bodily excess); to those occurring between individuals (Chapter 3, on “microdisrupting” conversational power norms). Put differently, I interrogate how subjects construct difference; how they feel embodied difference; how they wield difference interactionally; and how together, all of these projects remake dominant constructs of Indian American womanhood. Taken as a whole, this dissertation contributes a perspectival shift to rhetorical scholarship by centering how minoritized rhetors simultaneously consume, reject, and remake dominant discourses about their existence. By considering how stereotypes are circulated through the stereotyped bodymind, my work demonstrates the significance of considering rhetoric through its lived attunements – individual, experiential, and internalized – even when theorizing broader social transformations.
Flow field around a finite cone with shock

Subjects: Aeronautics

description: The objective of this investigation was to study the flow field in the immediate vicinity of a finite cone and to compare the results with analytical values for an infinite cone. Pressure distribution over the surface of a 70 degree cone and the general characteristics of the shock wave were investigated. The tests were conducted at five Mach numbers covering the four regimes of flow. Particular attention was given to the conditions at the apex of the cone. The locations of the intersection of the sonic line with the surface of the cone and with the shock wave were determined.

In general the tests demonstrate that at the apex of a finite cone the pressure and the shock wave angle closely approach the values predicted by analytical methods in the four regimes of flow.

The tests were conducted in the GALCIT 2.5" Supersonic Wind Tunnel.
Necessary symmetry conditions for the rotation of light

description: Two conditions on symmetries are identified as necessary for a linear scattering system to be able to rotate the linear polarisation of light: Lack of at least one mirror plane of symmetry and electromagnetic duality symmetry. Duality symmetry is equivalent to the conservation of the helicity of light in the same way that rotational symmetry is equivalent to the conservation of angular momentum. When the system is a solution of a single species of particles, the lack of at least one mirror plane of symmetry leads to the familiar requirement of chirality of the individual particle. With respect to helicity preservation, according to the analytical and numerical evidence presented in this paper, the solution preserves helicity if and only if the individual particle itself preserves helicity. However, only in the particular case of forward scattering the helicity preservation condition on the particle is relaxed: We show that the random orientation of the molecules endows the solution with an effective rotational symmetry; at its turn, this leads to helicity preservation in the forward scattering direction independently of any property of the particle. This is not the case for a general scattering direction. These results advance the current understanding of the phenomena of molecular optical activity and provide insight for the design of polarisation control devices at the nanoscale.

description: The goal of this paper is threefold: i) to present some practical aspects of using full-text version of Corpus of Historical American English (COHA), the largest diachronic multi-genre corpus of the English language, in the investigation of a linguistic trend of change; ii) to test a widely held assumption that sentence length in written English has been steadily decreasing over the past few centuries; iii) to point to a possible link between the changes in sentence length and changes in the English syntactic usage. The empirical proof of concept for iii) is provided by the decline in the frequency of the non-finite purpose subordinator in order to. Sentence length, genre and the likelihood of occurrence of in order to are shown to be interrelated.

description: The different timing results of the magnetar Swift J1822.3-1606 is analyzed and understood theoretically. It is pointed that different timing solutions are caused not only by timing noise, but also that the period derivative is decreasing after outburst. Both the decreasing period derivative and the large timing noise may be originated from wind braking of the magnetar. Future timing of Swift J1822.3-1606 will help us make clear whether its period derivative is decreasing with time or not.

description: A general decentralized computational framework for set-valued state estimation and prediction for the class of systems that accept a hybrid state machine representation is considered in this article. The decentralized scheme consists of a conjunction of distributed state machines that are specified by a decomposition of the external signal space. While this is shown to produce, in general, outer approximations of the outcomes of the original monolithic state machine, here, specific rules for the signal space decomposition are devised by utilizing structural properties of the underyling transition relation, leading to a recovery of the exact state set results. By applying a suitable approximation algorithm, we show that computational complexity in the decentralized setting may thereby essentially reduce as compared to the centralized estimation scheme.
