title: Incorporating Prior Information to Enhance Quantitative ELISA
Creators: name: Reehl, Sarah Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a powerful quantitative tool with predictive abilities completely determined by the accuracy of a ve-parameter curve t to an analyte standard. Parameterizing the standard uses a weighted sum of squares (wSSE) on data de ned in a serial dilution using 12-16 out of 96 available wells. The wells used for the standard are wells lost to testing samples, inferring cost on the ELISA consumer and limiting the amount of standard data for tting to two replicates at each concentration. In addition to limited standard wells, parameterization of the standard is highly subject to tting error resultant from outlying data, which is impossible to detect with only two replicates, and spurious minima surrounding optimal parameters. If the standard curve cannot properly approximate samples of known concentration, then the inversion of the standard will not accurately quantify samples of unknown concentration. Both inaccurate parameterization and lengthy standard dilution series then add unnecessary expense to ELISA consumers. Our idea is to address outliers, parameterization improvements, and the design of standard dilutions using a Bayesian perspective to introduce prior information. First, using data from a variety of ELISA runs, we will build prior distributions iv by tting the ve-parameter curve to \good" data using wSSE. Distributions of credible responses at particular concentrations will be developed by sampling the priors and evaluating the ve parameter curve at those samples. Outliers can then be characterized in an analysis of the tails of the posterior response distribution. An appropriate credible level will be developed for a particular analyte and then tested against others. In parameterization, we will avoid spurious local error minima by maximizing the posterior likelihood for each analyte. A sensitivity analysis will determine a weighting for prior parameter distributions that maintain constant information in the face of new data. We then remodel the standard design, utilizing fewer standard sample concentrations. We also test alternate standard designs by removing dilution concentrations sequentially from the weighted likelihood and testing a coe cient of determination using all available data. The design which causes the least degradation to the coe cient of determination across all replicate series of all analytes is the proposed design. For removals of three to ve dilutions we assess the performance of the standard parameterization by the percentage of acceptably t data and the percentage of replicate series with acceptably t data in the low concentration spectrum. We show assessments for parameterization both with and without prior information. Finally, we comment on further development of the priors, problems in weighting and transforming data, and predicting unknown concentrations without using a reference model.

description: Identifying cross-language plagiarism is challenging, especially for distant language pairs and sense-for-sense translations. We introduce the new multilingual retrieval model Cross-Language Ontology-Based Similarity Analysis (CL-OSA) for this task. CL-OSA represents documents as entity vectors obtained from the open knowledge graph Wikidata. Opposed to other methods, CL-OSA does not require computationally expensive machine translation, nor pre-training using comparable or parallel corpora. It reliably disambiguates homonyms and scales to allow its application to Web-scale document collections. We show that CL-OSA outperforms state-of-the-art methods for retrieving candidate documents from five large, topically diverse test corpora that include distant language pairs like Japanese-English. For identifying cross-language plagiarism at the character level, CL-OSA primarily improves the detection of sense-for-sense translations. For these challenging cases, CL-OSA's performance in terms of the well-established PlagDet score exceeds that of the best competitor by more than factor two. The code and data of our study are openly available.

title: Plyometric Landings on Land and in Waist-Deep Water: Comparison Between Young and Middle-Aged Adults
Creators: name: Searle, Cade Jon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this study was to compare dynamic stability and landing kinetics, on land and in water, between young and middle-aged adults performing plyometric exercises. Twenty adults were asked to volunteer: Young = 24.40 ± 2.63 years, n = 10 and middle-aged = 46.80 ± 3.05 years, n = 10. Participants performed three plyometric exercises (countermovement jump, squat jump, and drop landing) on land and in waist-deep water. Dynamic stability was assessed during landing for each exercise using a time to stabilization (TTS) paradigm. Kinetic measures included time to peak force, peak force, rate of force development (RFD), and impulse. Data were collected via a waterproof force plate positioned on an adjustable-depth pool floor and analyzed with a 2 (age) X 6 (condition) repeated measures ANOVA. Results revealed TTS was greater on land (1.45 ± 0.12s) than in water (1.35 ± 0.12s) for two jumps (p = 0.01). Peak force, RFD, and impulse were greater on land (33%-36%) (p < 0.01). Time to peak force was lower (20%), while normalized peak force (15%) and RFD were greater (28%), in the middle-aged compared to the young group (p = 0.04). Results indicate that young and middle-aged adults display improved dynamic stability and are exposed to lower absolute impact forces in water. The effect of age indicates middle-aged participants tend to display greater loading rates and peak forces when compared to the younger group, suggesting landing patterns that may be harmful.
Multi-Avalanche Correlations in Directed Sandpile Models

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Multiple avalanches, initiated by simultaneously toppling neighbouring sites, are studied in three different directed sandpile models. It is argued that, while the single avalanche exponents are different for the three models, a suitably defined two-avalanche distribution has identical exponents. The origin of this universality is traced to particle conservation.

description: This thesis is a collection of works focused on the topic of Earthquake Early Warning, with a special attention to large magnitude events. The topic is addressed from different points of view and the structure of the thesis reflects the variety of the aspects which have been analyzed. The first part is dedicated to the giant, 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. The main features of the rupture process are first discussed. The earthquake is then used as a case study to test the feasibility Early Warning methodologies for very large events. Limitations of the standard approaches for large events arise in this chapter. The difficulties are related to the real-time magnitude estimate from the first few seconds of recorded signal. An evolutionary strategy for the real-time magnitude estimate is proposed and applied to the single Tohoku-Oki earthquake. 
In the second part of the thesis a larger number of earthquakes is analyzed, including small, moderate and large events. Starting from the measurement of two Early Warning parameters, the behavior of small and large earthquakes in the initial portion of recorded signals is investigated. The aim is to understand whether small and large earthquakes can be distinguished from the initial stage of their rupture process. A physical model and a plausible interpretation to justify the observations are proposed. 
The third part of the thesis is focused on practical, real-time approaches for the rapid identification of the potentially damaged zone during a seismic event. Two different approaches for the rapid prediction of the damage area are proposed and tested. The first one is a threshold-based method which uses traditional seismic data. Then an innovative approach using continuous, GPS data is explored. Both strategies improve the prediction of large scale effects of strong earthquakes.
A New Type of CGO Solutions and its Applications in Corner Scattering

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider corner scattering for the operator $\nabla \cdot γ(x)\nabla +k^2ρ(x)$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, with $γ$ a positive definite symmetric matrix and $ρ$ a positive scalar function. A corner is referred to one that is on the boundary of the (compact) support of $γ(x)-I$ or $ρ(x)-1$, where $I$ stands for the identity matrix. We assume that $γ$ is a scalar function in a small neighborhood of the corner. We show that any admissible incident field will be scattered by such corners, which are allowed to be concave. Moreover, we provide a brief discussion on the existence of non-scattering waves when $γ-I$ has a jump across the corner. In order to prove the results, we construct a new type of complex geometric optics (CGO) solutions.
title: Code Generation: An Introduction to Typed EBNF

description: Errors and inconsistencies between code components can be very costly in a software project. E orts to reduce these costs can include the use of tools that limit human interac- tion with code by generating it from a description. This paper introduces two new works to address these issues: (1) an input speci cation called Typed EBNF (TEBNF), and (2) a prototype tool that demonstrates how TEBNF can be used to generate code. The tool generates code for a console application as described by a TEBNF grammar. An application built from the generated code will be able to receive input data, parse it, process it, and output it as needed.

description: Soft-wall models in AdS/QCD generally have dilaton and scalar fields that vary with the fifth-dimension coordinate. These fields can be parameterized to yield hadron mass spectra with linear radial trajectories and to incorporate spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. We show how to construct scalar potentials which lead to such solutions.

description: La ricerca si propone di mostrare come il pensiero gramsciano sia stato riferimento prioritario di due intellettuali argentini in esilio in Messico dal 1976 al 1983: Juan Carlos Portantiero e José Maria Aricó. In quel periodo incentrarono le loro elaborazioni teorico-politiche sull’analisi della relazione tra Stato, società civile, democrazia e socialismo, partendo da una prospettiva gramsciana. Il fallimento della guerra di movimento in Argentina nei primi anni settanta li condusse a riflettere su strategie alternative di transizione al socialismo, il cui punto focale fu il concetto di "Egemonia". A  partire dal 1975 indirizzarono la ripresa del pensiero di Gramsci alla creazione di un progetto politico adatto ad un contesto sempre più "occidentale", caratterizzato dalla presenza di una "società civile complessa", in cui risultava necessario combattere "guerre di posizione" e non  "guerre di movimento". La prospettiva che connotò questo approccio alle riflessioni gramsciane rappresenta il culmine di un percorso che iniziarono negli anni ’50, quando sorsero i primi studi del pensiero gramsciano in Argentina. Sin da allora,  Aricó e Portantiero si occuparono di Gramsci insieme al dirigente del PC argentino Agosti e continuarono a farlo anche durante gli anni sessanta e i primi anni settanta sulla rivista Pasado y Presente. Fu, però, nel periodo dell’esilio che ne ripresero il pensiero considerandolo nella sua totalità, a partire dagli scritti giovanili sino ai Quaderni del Carcere, rielaborandolo in maniera originale e costruendo una propria proposta di cammino verso socialismo nell' "occidente periferico" dell'Argentina, influenzati dall'azione del Partito Comunista Italiano.
description: This research aims to show that the “gramscian categories”  have been the most important reference for two argentine intellectuals: Portantiero Juan Carlos Portantiero and José Maria Aricó . They were in exile in Mexico from 1976 to 1983. At that time they focused their analysis on the relationship between state, civil society , democracy and socialism , from a Gramscian perspective . The failure of the “war of movement” in Argentina in the early seventies led them to reflect on alternative strategies for the transition to socialism , whose focal point was the concept of “Hegemony” . Since 1975 they used the Gramsci's thought to create a political project suitable for states characterized by the presence of a “complex civil society”. Since the '50s , Aricó and Portantiero studied Gramsci. However, it was during the period of the exile that they studied deeply all his books,  from the writings of his youth up to the “Prison Notebooks”.

description: We show that a static central potential may provide a precise description of highly excited light unflavoured mesons. Due to string breaking this potential becomes of chromoelectric type at sufficiently large quark-antiquark distances giving rise to a coulombian spectrum. The same conclusion can be inferred for any other meson sector through a straightforward extension of our analysis.

Operating System Contribution to Composable Timing Behaviour in High-Integrity Real-Time Systems
Creators: name: Baldovin, Andrea <1983>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: INF/01 Informatica

description: The development of High-Integrity Real-Time Systems has a high footprint in terms of human, material and schedule costs. Factoring functional, reusable logic in the application favors incremental development and contains costs. Yet, achieving incrementality in the timing behavior is a much harder problem. Complex features at all levels of the execution stack, aimed to boost average-case performance, exhibit timing behavior highly dependent on execution history, which wrecks time composability and incrementaility with it.

Our goal here is to restitute time composability to the execution stack, working bottom up across it. We first characterize time composability without making assumptions on the system architecture or the software deployment to it. Later, we focus on the role played by the real-time operating system in our pursuit. Initially we consider single-core processors and, becoming less permissive on the admissible hardware features, we devise solutions that restore a convincing degree of time composability.

To show what can be done for real, we developed TiCOS, an ARINC-compliant kernel, and re-designed ORK+,  a kernel for Ada Ravenscar runtimes. In that work, we added support for limited-preemption to ORK+, an absolute premiere in the landscape of real-word kernels. Our implementation allows resource sharing to co-exist with limited-preemptive scheduling, which extends state of the art.

We then turn our attention to multicore architectures, first considering partitioned systems, for which we achieve results close to those obtained for single-core processors. Subsequently, we shy away from the over-provision of those systems and consider less restrictive uses of homogeneous multiprocessors, where the scheduling algorithm is key to high schedulable utilization. To that end we single out RUN, a promising baseline, and extend it to SPRINT, which supports sporadic task sets, hence matches real-world industrial needs better.

To corroborate our results we present findings from real-world case studies from avionic industry.

description: For this project, I designed, developed, and evaluated an application called the Crisis Social Media Trainer (CSMT) which helps emergency responders practice using social media. This application simulates the social media activity that one might encounter during a crisis event. I began by iteratively designing and prototyping the CSMT application. After I created a stable prototype, I evaluated it. First, I performed cognitive walkthroughs and heuristic analyses on the prototype. After making improvements based on the results of the walkthroughs and analyses, I tested the prototype with four emergency responders. This user testing revealed many areas of improvement for the application and demonstrated that CSMT could be a useful social media training tool for emergency responders. Finally, I modified the CSMT prototype to address the issues encountered by the users during testing.

description: Relaxation of initially out-of-equilibrium rough interfaces in presence of thermal noise is investigated using Langevin formalism. During thermal equilibration towards the well-known roughening regime, three scaling regimes observed over three successive ranges of length-scales are evidenced: thermal roughening (late stage) at small scales, transient smoothening at intermediate scales and remnant of the initial conditions at large scales. A generalization of the Family-Vicsek scaling is found for the smoothening regime. A distinctive feature of the transient smoothening regime resides in the existence of a super-universal exponent, i.e. independent of the considered model. This approach allows interpreting a series of AFM images of sapphire surfaces showing the thermal evolution of initially rough step edges.

description: The work is devoted to the influence of the Archimedes force on the geometry and tension of a homogeneous flexible cord placed in a liquid. The actuality of the study is connected with safety requirements of the ever-expanding fleet of underwater sea and ocean long objects, such as information cables, power ropes, pipelines, etc. The mechanics of flexible cords in the air has been sufficiently studied in the literature. If cord is in the water then it is recommended to take a linear weight of cord in water in sum with Archimedean force instead of the linear force in air. This is a widely spread error because Archimedean force reduces object weight in water not in all cases. Correct considering of Archimedean force bring us to principally different stress in underwater structures. This should be considered in stress and fatigue analysis.
title: Teaching Language Through the Words and Works of its Peoples

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: This portfolio is the culmination of two years of study in the Master of Second Language Teaching and represents not only the development of the author’s teaching philosophy but also her professional development as a teacher over that course of time. The teaching philosophy is built on the three pillars of 1) use of the target language, 2) copious use of authentic materials, and 3) teaching the use of the mechanics, or rules of the language. Although understanding of the rules facilitates second language learning, they cannot be learned without using language and language will not really be understood without understanding the attendant culture(s)—which is what makes the use of authentic materials so valuable. Included in support of the author’s teaching philosophy and professional development are three artifacts. The author showcases her research in Dual Language Immersion: Truly Bilingual, Biliterate, and Bicultural Education and what’s in it for US. In the artifact Zwischen Ehrenmord und Familiendrama: Is the call for Integration in Germany one for Transculturation or Cultural Selbstmord?, the author illustrates how the various voices within a culture interact in ways that are constantly remaking the living culture, and how these authentic voices can be used to create a dialogue about not only the evolution of the cultures tied to living languages, but also how they view each other. Finally the author describes what she has learned from the literature and experience about what a teacher can do to foster a language learning environment in Where to Go from Here. Also included are two annotated bibliographies. The first, titled My Three Pillars, covers literature that has been helpful to the author’s development of the three pillars of her teaching philosophy. The second, titled English as a Lingua Franca, elaborates on literature that was part of a background study by the author to better understand the current role of her first language, English, in the world, so that she could be a better ESL and EFL teacher. This study led her to ask the questions that motivated her development of her Language Learning and Culture artifacts.

description: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a new class of molecularly precise, porous functional materials characterized by a broad structural and chemical versatility, leading to a diverse range of applications. Despite the increasing popularity of COFs, fundamental aspects of their formation are poorly understood and profound experimental insights into their formation processes are still lacking. Here we use a combination of in situ X-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy to elucidate the reaction mechanism of mechanochemically synthesized imine COFs, leading to the observation of key reaction intermediates. Real-time monitoring provides experimental evidence of templating effects by the liquid additive for the subsequent pore formation and layer assembly. Moreover, the solid-state catalyst scandium triflate Sc(OTf)3 is revealed to be instrumental in directing the reaction kinetics and mechanism, resulting in products with crystallinity and porosity en par with solvothermally synthesized COFs. This work highlights the potential of mechanochemistry as a green synthetic route towards COF synthesis, and emphasizes the subtle interplay between choice of liquid additives, catalysts, and activation procedure.

description: Avatars, whether human-operated or AI-driven, are anthropomorphic digital characters that engage users through computer-mediated communication. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have accelerated the adoption of avatars in marketing and led to a surge in related research. However, a gap remains in integrating interdisciplinary insights into a cohesive marketing framework using objective methods. This systematic review synthesizes 203 publications from the Web of Science (2009–2023) to bridge this gap. First, a bibliometric network visualization charts the evolution of avatar-related research. Second, a citation network analysis identifies seven distinct research domains. Third, a main-path analysis systematically maps the knowledge structure within each domain. Notably, “anthropomorphism” has emerged as a dominant theme, reflecting a shift toward avatars with increasingly human-like traits. The review concludes by outlining future research directions within the seven research domains, proposing a four-phase, seven-domain avatar marketing framework, and offering valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners.

description: Google and Apple jointly introduced a digital contact tracing technology and an API called "exposure notification," to help health organizations and governments with contact tracing. The technology and its interplay with security and privacy constraints require investigation. In this study, we examine and analyze the security, privacy, and reliability of the technology with actual and typical scenarios (and expected typical adversary in mind), and quite realistic use cases. We do it in the context of Virginia's COVIDWISE app. This experimental analysis validates the properties of the system under the above conditions, a result that seems crucial for the peace of mind of the exposure notification technology adopting authorities, and may also help with the system's transparency and overall user trust.

title: Music: A Tool for Expressive and Receptive Vocabulary for Children Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Creators: name: Smith, Lauren
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Children with congenital hearing loss are at risk for speech, language, and academic delays. Early identification of hearing loss provides the opportunity for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) to obtain appropriate technology, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, and to receive early intervention services to optimize development of listening and spoken language. Almost all industrialized countries have adopted policies for universal newborn hearing screening (National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management, 2011). This has significantly reduced the average age of identification from 2 ½ -3 years of age to 2-3 months of age (White, Forsman, Eichwald, & Muñoz, 2010; White, 2010). When parents select listening and spoken language as the primary mode of communication for their child, early intervention services typically focus on auditory perception and language acquisition (Greers, Mood, Biedenstein, Brener, & Hayes, 2009). As children enter the preschool setting, deaf educators continue the instructional focus on language development and academic readiness. Vocabulary development is an essential component of language proficiency and was identified as a literacy priority by the National Reading Panel (Report of the national reading panel, 2006). An area of concern for many children who are DHH is the development of vocabulary, both receptively and expressively. Vocabulary is learned by typically developing children through incidental learning. However, this is not as accessible for children who are DHH. The majority of children who are DHH learn vocabulary best through direct instruction (Lederberg & Spencer, 2009).
Rare-earth defects and defect-related luminescence in ZnS

description: Structure and energetics of rare-earth (RE) defects and luminescence of RE and related defects in zincblende zinc sulfide (ZnS) are investigated using hybrid density-functional defect calculations. We find that europium (Eu) is stable predominantly as the divalent Eu$^{2+}$ ion in bulk ZnS. The trivalent Eu$^{3+}$ is structurally and electronically stable, but energetically unfavorable compared to Eu$^{2+}$ due to the presence of low-energy native defects and Eu$^{2+}$-related defect complexes. Other RE dopants, dysprosium (Dy) and erbium (Er), are stable only as Dy$^{3+}$ and Er$^{3+}$, respectively. These results provide an explanation why it is difficult to realize Eu$^{3+}$ in bulk ZnS. A non-negligible Eu$^{3+}$/Eu$^{2+}$ ratio might be achieved with Li co-doping under S-rich (and probably non-equilibrium) synthesis conditions. Optically, Eu-related defects can act as carrier traps for band-to-defect transitions and emit light in the visible range. To assist with experimental optical characterization of the RE defects, we include band-to-defect luminescence involving native defects (Zn vacancies) and/or non-RE impurities (Cu, Cl, and Al) that may also be present in Eu-doped ZnS samples, and assign luminescence centers often observed in experiments to specific defect configurations.

description: We construct new seven-dimensional gravity by adding two topological terms to the Einstein-Hilbert action. For certain choice of the coupling constants, these terms may be related to the R^4 correction to the 3-form field equation of eleven-dimensional supergravity. We derive the full set of the equations of motion. We find that the static spherically-symmetric black holes are unmodified by the topological terms. We obtain squashed AdS_7, and also squashed seven spheres and Q^{111} spaces in Euclidean signature.

On the Apparent Orbital Inclination Change of the Extrasolar Transiting Planet TrES-2b

description: On June 15, 2009 UT the transit of TrES-2b was detected using the University of Arizona's 1.55 meter Kuiper Telescope with 2.0-2.5 millimag RMS accuracy in the I-band. We find a central transit time of $T_c = 2454997.76286 \pm0.00035$ HJD, an orbital period of $P = 2.4706127 \pm 0.0000009$ days, and an inclination angle of $i = 83^{\circ}.92 \pm 0.05$, which is consistent with our re-fit of the original I-band light curve of O'Donovan et al. (2006) where we find $i = 83^{\circ}.84 \pm0.05$. We calculate an insignificant inclination change of $Δi = -0^{\circ}.08 \pm 0.07$ over the last 3 years, and as such, our observations rule out, at the $\sim 11 σ$ level, the apparent change of orbital inclination to $i_{predicted} = 83^{\circ}.35 \pm0.1$ as predicted by Mislis and Schmitt (2009) and Mislis et al. (2010) for our epoch. Moreover, our analysis of a recently published Kepler Space Telescope light curve (Gilliland et al. 2010) for TrES-2b finds an inclination of $i = 83^{\circ}.91 \pm0.03$ for a similar epoch. These Kepler results definitively rule out change in $i$ as a function of time. Indeed, we detect no significant changes in any of the orbital parameters of TrES-2b.

title: Youll find out here pretty soon I have PTSD Examining how a Vietnam Veteran Copes With Trauma
Creators: name: Stockett, Matthew L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: This thesis is rooted in understanding trauma. Through a series of interviews with Zach Stockett, my grandfather and medical helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War, I identify his unique coping strategies. Zach uses humor, religious beliefs, and his ability to contribute meaningfully to the war effort to cope with the traumas he experienced. I drew from trauma theorists such as Maurice Halbwachs, Dori Laub, Cathy Caruth, Ruth Leys, Dominik LaCapra, and Marianne Hirsch to build a framework for understanding the different aspects of trauma that Zach experiences. On a personal level, these interviews provide insight into my own personal identity by seeing how Zach’s coping strategies influence familial social relationships. On a larger scale, these interviews and experiences do not completely coincide with the national collective memory surrounding the Vietnam War. Because of this disparity between the accepted canon of Vietnam media and Zach's personal narrative, he did not feel the need to share. Veterans like Zach need an outlet to tell their stories because although they may not fit the national collective memory, they most certainly add to it and create a more accurate collective memory. Telling these stories also allows the veterans to work through their traumatic experiences.
title: Studies of sarcoplasmic reticulum function in rabbit and human left ventricular dysfunction
Creators: name: Neary, Paul
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: Heart Failure is a common clinical problem with high morbidity and mortality. While there are several pathological changes in cardiac failure, abnormalities of myocardial contraction at the cellular level are well documented. Myocyte Ca2+ handling which underlies excitation-contraction coupling is abnormal in heart failure and contributes to mechanical dysfunction. Changes in intracellular Ca2+ during contraction and relaxation are mediated by both sarcolemmal Ca2+ transport and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release and re-uptake. Abnormalities of both sarcolemmal Ca2+ transport, and SR function have been described in heart failure and thus the pathophysiological mechanisms of abnormal handling and subsequent myocardial contraction need to be clarified. In this thesis, abnormalities of Ca2+ handling at the level of the whole myocyte are characterised in a coronary artery ligation model of heart failure in rabbit. Following this, a novel preparation for the specific study of SR function in permeabilised single, myocytes was developed. SR Ca2+ content was significantly reduced in myocytes from failing hearts compared to shams. Spontaneous SR Ca2+ release occurred less frequently in failure myocytes and with reduced amplitude than in myocytes from sham hearts. SR Ca2+ uptake was then directly measured in suspensions of single, permeabilised myocytes from failing rabbit hearts. SERCA 2A mediated SR Ca2+ uptake was significantly slower in failure cells than sham cells, and this difference was maintained in the presence of ruthenium red, a blocker of the SR Ca2+ release channel. Inhibitors of specific aspects of SR function were then used to model the changes in SR function seen in heart failure. Inhibition of SR Ca2+ uptake with thapsigargin in healthy permeabilised myocytes most closely modelled the heart failure phenotype. Inhibition of SR Ca2+ release at the ryanodine receptor with tetracaine, and stimulation of SR Ca2+ leak with ionomycin did not accurately model the changes in SR function seen in heart failure. The experimental techniques described in this thesis were then applied to human myocytes dissociated from small ventricular biopsies to ascertain whether similar protocols could be used in future studies to investigate SR function in human heart failure.
