description: ABSTRACT Intercultural communication has been known to refer to communication, which takes place amongstthe individuals from distinctive cultures. However, problems and challenges are evident in cases where people are notable to accommodate one another or communicate effectively across cultures. This paper evaluates interculturalcommunication challenges and their effect on students’ interpersonal relationships at a South African university.Purposive sampling technique was adopted and data was collected through two focus groups and analysed qualitatively.Interestingly, this paper revealed that there is cultural prejudice, stereotyping, ethnocentrism and cultural conflictamong the students of this selected university, which negatively affects interpersonal relationships among students.Therefore, responding to this problem, this paper recommends that the university should put more effort in reducingintercultural communication challenges through regular engagement of cultural educational programmes within theuniversity that will gather different students of distinctive cultural groups together.

description: Nickel and nickel based magnetostrictive alloys have been used in the many actuator and sensor applications. Though the magnetostrictive values of nickel are not very large, the good mechanical properties of nickel and nickel based alloys make  them attractive in various applications. In this work, the effect of Si and Sn addition on the magnetostriction of Ni is examined. Si and Sn belong to the same Group IVA in the periodic table. However atomic size of Si is smaller than Ni and Sn has a larger atomic size compared to Ni. No prior data exist on the influence of Si and Sn addition on the magnetostriction of Ni single crystals. In this work, single crystals of pure Ni, Ni-3.75 at.% Si and Ni-5 at.% Sn single crystals were prepared using vertical Bridgman technique. Single crystal characterization was done using X-ray diffraction. [001] oriented parallelepiped shaped Ni-3.75 at.% Si and Ni-5 at.% Sn single crystals samples and [110] oriented disk sample of Ni single crystals were used to perform magnetostriction measurements. The  magnetostriction measurements were performed at room temperature and at temperatures down to 208 K. A cryogenic magnetostriction measurement system capable of measurement at temperatures down to 10 K was designed and set up. The (3/2) X\oo, and (3/2) Xm obtained in nickel single crystals were -87 x 10"6, and -40 x 10"6, respectively, and these values are higher than values reported in literature. For Ni-3.75 at.% Si, (3/2) Xm obtained was -55 x 10"6 and the (3/2) Xm obtained in Ni-5 at.% Sn was -51 x 10"6. For Ni-3.75 at.% Si and Ni-5 at.% Sn, the saturation magnetizations values measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were 33.4 and 17.2 emu/g respectively, compared to a value of 55.9 emu/g observed in Ni. Both Si and Sn addition lead to a decrease in the magnetization and the  magnetostriction of Ni. However, on a per atom basis, the drop in magnetostriction is higher with Si addition and the drop in magnetization is higher with Sn addition.

The Diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.
Creators: name: Gould, Brian Lee
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Coronary Heart Disease
Surgery

description: The testing and treating of patients with suspected or confirmed coronary artery disease were analyzed by modelling the complex outcomes associated with each initial treatment choice and measuring the effect of model parameter variance on the optimal strategy. The analysis included the diagnostic decisions of using a stress test and selective coronary angiography, and treatment choices of bypass graft surgery, medical therapy and the relatively new procedure, coronary angioplasty.  Decision analysis was used to structure the problem. Patient specific probabilities were taken from most recent medical literature, including data for mildly symptomatic patients with minimal extent of disease, or expanded from other sources by Bayes probability revision. The expected outcome of each treatment was mathematically modelled by considering the potential outcomes including subsequent therapeutic options arising from the initial treatment choice. The benefits, relief of angina, and the costs, procedural discomfort and monetary cost, of each therapy were combined with the equations relating the probability of the patient being in each therapeutic state with time and numerically integrated over the remainder of the patient's life to estimate the utility of the initial treatment choice. Error analysis was used in addition to sensitivity analysis to test the validity of the results.  Surgery was preferred to medical treatment for nearly all patients, and angioplasty provided the greatest utility for single vessel disease patients. Surgery was preferred to medical therapy even though the option of a subsequent surgery was provided in the medical therapy model. Preference was a direct consequence of the lower annual death rates after bypass surgery. Only when the annual mortality rate of the therapies differed by no more than one death in a thousand per year did consideration of quality of life and monetary cost of treatment become important. Because of increased benefits from invasive therapy, angiography was generally recommended, and little difference in value was observed from either performing or not performing a stress test.

description: Computing and data acquisition have become an integral part of everyday life. From reading emails on a cell phone, to kids playing with motion sensing game consoles, we are surrounded with sensors and mobile devices. As the availability of powerful mobile computing devices expands, the road is paved for applications in previously limited environments. Rehabilitative devices are emerging that embrace these mobile advances. Research has explored the use of smartphones in rehabilitation as a means to process data and provide feedback in conjunction with established rehabilitative methods. Smartphones, combined with sensor embedded insoles, provide a powerful tool for the clinician in gathering data and may act as a standalone training technique. This thesis presents continuing research of a sensor integrated insole system that provides real-time feedback through a mobile platform, the Adaptive Real-Time Instrumentation System for Tread Imbalance Correction (ARTISTIC). The system interfaces a wireless instrumented insole with an Android smartphone application to receive gait data and provide sensory feedback to modify gait patterns. Revisions to the system hardware, software, and feedback modes brought about the introduction of the ARTISTIC 2.0. The number of sensors in the insole was increased from two to 10. The microprocessor and a vibrotactile motor were embedded in the insole and the communications box was reduced in size and weight by more than 50%. Stance time iv measurements were validated against force plate equipment and found to be within 13.5 ± 3.3% error of force plate time measurements. Human subjects were tested using each of the feedback modes to alter gait symmetry. Results from the testing showed that more than one mode of feedback caused a statistically significant change in gait symmetry ratios (p < 0.05). Preference of feedback modes varied among subjects, with the majority agreeing that several feedback modes made a difference in their gait. Further improvements will prepare the ARTISTIC 2.0 for testing in a home environment for extended periods of time and improve data capture techniques, such as including a database in the smartphone application.

Char-slag transition during pulverized coal gasification

description: In coal gasification the char-slag transition is a process in which porous char transforms into molten slag at temperatures above ash fluid temperature. It is associated with physical changes of the char particle, such as particle density, size, porous structure and mineral-carbon association. Despite the large number of investigations on coal gasification, the physical phenomena during char-slag transition have not been well studied. In addition, little data regarding ash deposition behavior on gasifier walls during char-slag transition have been reported.  This study aims to clarify the physical changes of char particles and ash deposition behavior on gasifier walls during char-slag transition in pulverized coal gasification. To achieve these objectives, two types of experiments were carried out using a laminar entrained-flow reactor: (1) char and ash formation experiments and (2) ash deposition experiments.  In the first type of experiment, char and ash particles with different conversions were prepared using two bituminous coals and a subbituminous coal. The prepared char and ash samples were characterized using various techniques to obtain information on particle density, size, porous structure and mineral-carbon association. These data were used to identify the point of the char-slag transition for different coals. Results show that during the transition: (1) particle size decreases, which is caused by shrinkage in the initial stage and by fragmentation in the later stage; (2) particle density increases due to particle size reduction; and (3) particle internal surface area decreases because of ash melting induced pore blockage.  In the second type of experiment, particle collection efficiency was measured for a bituminous coal at various conversions. Such information was used to derive the variation of particle stickiness during the char-slag transition. Results indicate that the particle stickiness increases dramatically during the transition. This dramatic increase is attributed to exposure of included minerals on the particle surface, which is caused by particle shrinkage and fragmentation.  An empirical model is developed for the prediction of the char-slag transition by considering the ash content of the parent coal, which can be determined by proximate analysis. A hypothetical mechanism is proposed to describe the particle fates upon impaction on gasifier walls during char-slag transition. A simple correlation is established for characterizing the evolution of the particle stickiness during the transition.

description: Red Butte Canyon is a federally protected research area located outside Salt Lake City, Utah east of the University of Utah. The Wasatch Fault Zone, an active fault capable of producing magnitude 7.0 earthquakes, is also located less than one mile west of Red Butte Canyon. A series of geomorphic features exist in Red Butte Canyon including landslides, rock falls, creep, and steep slopes within both the primary Red Butte Creek channel and the secondary Parleys Fork channel. Possible paleochannels exist adjacent to a mapped landslide at Red Butte Creek and Parleys Fork. A detailed geologic and engineering investigation was executed to address these unusual geomorphic features. Research objectives included detailed geologic mapping in the study area to better evaluate geologic characteristics and determine the characteristics of subsurface sediments. Additional objectives included performing a groundwater and slope stability evaluation within selected areas of the study area. Methods included drilling and sampling, seismic refraction, groundwater measurements, geotechnical engineering testing, slope stability modeling, and radiocarbon dating to evaluate the geological and geotechnical characteristics of geomorphic features. A combination of sediment type, grain size distributions of soils and radiocarbon dating suggest that subsurface sediments closest to the landslide area formed in an alluvial / lacustrine depositional environment suggesting a lake existed in Red Butte Canyon behind a landslide dam at some point in the past. Charcoal samples discovered in the subsurface yielded radiocarbon ages of 4,370 ± 30 years, in close agreement with independent paleoseismology studies for on the Wasatch Fault dated 4,000 ± 500 years ago, suggesting the lacustrine sediments formed in response to the earthquake and landslide. Slope stability analysis investigated undrained and drained conditions and utilized the Pseudostatic Method. The results show that selected slopes within the field site were stable under drained conditions except when a high groundwater table exists. Slopes were also less stable under drained conditions, particularly when a peak horizontal ground acceleration exceeded 0.1 g - 0.15 g. The reduced stability of slopes under seismic loading conditions also suggests that the landslide was triggered by an earthquake in the aforementioned time frame.
Profit rate, balance of payments, and economic growth: three essays on the Thai economy from 1970 to 2010

Subjects: Balance of payments
Profit rate
Thailand

description: This dissertation is aimed at explaining the development of the Thai economy from 1970 to 2010 from the Marxian and post-Keynesian perspectives: in particular, how the nonfarm rate of profit in Thailand interacts with its balance-of-payments constraint. The theoretical core of this dissertation, constructed in Chapter 2, is developed from the extended Thirlwall's law, in which capital flows, determined by the rate of profit, play a role to drive economic growth via balance-of-payments expansion, and from changes of the rate of profit due to changes in the organic composition of capital, determined by flows of foreign capitals. The model suggests that the dynamic interaction between the rate of profit and level of GDP generated from capitals flows most likely results in cyclical movements of these two variables. The rest of the dissertation consists of empirical works on the Thai economy. The nonfarm rate of profit in Thailand from 1970 to 2010 is measured in Chapter 3, and the decomposition analysis reveals the factors behind its fluctuations. The results show that the organic composition of capital and the output-capital ratio are the factors determining the nonfarm rate of profit. The model in Chapter 2, in order to explain cycles of an economy, requires two preliminary assumptions. First, the balance-of-payments-constrained growth models can explain its economic growth, and, second, the rate of profit determines the growth rate of capital flows. Chapter 4 proves these two assumptions by using the Thai data. To prove the first assumption, the full course of Thirlwall's law test is done, and it is found that the extended Thirlwall's law is better than the original Thirlwall's law in order to predict the Thai economic growth rates. For the second assumption, the ARDL bound testing in Chapter 3 determines the growth rate of capital flows. Chapter 5 puts together the nonfarm rate of profit and the GDP level generated from the extended Thirlwall's law. The empirical diagram behaves quite similarly to the theoretical diagram presented in Chapter 2, so the theoretical core of this dissertation can explain the Thai economic growth.

description: Palm oil industry generates large amount of palm oil mill effluent (POME) which is highly polluting. With tightened regulatory discharge standards and requirements for biogas capture, ponding systems became less effective to handle high POME generation loads. High-rate anaerobic digesters under thermophilic condition are proposed for POME treatment. However, this system currently lacked proper monitoring and control scheme to ensure stability of the system. Suitable prediction model for the treatment system is essential to allow earlier process disturbances to be identified, allowing immediate rectification before reactor failure. Predictive model developed also allows enhancement of system stability for maximum biogas production.

Year: 2020

description: Purpose of Project: Anesthesia providers are often faced with new responsibilities and alterations in patient management. High stress conditions impair clinicians’ ability to elicit evidence-based courses of management in an organized and timely manner. Recall and prospective memory of even the most experienced providers’ declines during stressful situations. Emergency manuals introduced in anesthesia have improved compliance to guidelines during emergencies and improve patient outcomes. Practitioners who are introduced to cognitive aids during simulation training are more likely to use these checklists in a real emergency.Methodology: This study is an experimental qualitative design. The study population is CRNAs (certified registered nurse anesthetists) and SRNAs (student registered nurse anesthetists). A pre-survey was administered, then the participants were given copies of the AEMs and a PowerPoint presentation was given regarding the efficacy of AEM use during OR emergencies. First a simulation scenario without the use of an AEM was conducted and then another simulation scenario with the use of AEM was conducted. Participants were debriefed and then an immediate post-survey was given. A follow-up survey was sent a month after simulations were conducted. Results: The results of this study supports that the use of AEMs improved adherence to critical steps in a crisis situation, while also supporting that simulations utilizing the AEMs increased future likelihood of AEM use. Implication for Practice: A presentation and simulations were conducted to provide increased awareness and benefits of Anesthesia Emergency Manuals (AEMs), in order to increase its utilization during real crises that occur in professional practice.

description: In this study, we isolated and characterized a novel bioactive flavonol from the cactus pad of Opuntia Ficus indica Indica (L. Mill) (OFI) by chromatography techniques. The isolated compound was characterized by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Single-crystal XRD results illustrate that the obtained flavonol was opuntiol (6-hydroxymethyl-4-methoxy-2H-pyran-2-one) and it was found to be near planar except for the H atoms of the methylene and methyl groups. The crystal packing was stabilized by C-H….O and O-H….O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The isolated opuntiol significantly inhibited KB cells proliferation and its IC50 value was found to be 30 µM. Further, we noticed that opuntiol significantly induced ROS generation and subsequently altered MMP in KB cells. Western blot analysis and morphological observations by fluorescence microscope indicate the apoptotic inducing potential of opuntiol in KB cells.

description: Two heretofore uncharacterised abietane diterpenes, sincoetsin C (1) and 3-hydroxyspirocoleon 7-O-β-D-glucoside (4), were isolated from a methanolic extract of Coleus blumei Benth. (Lamiaceae), along with the known compounds, scutellarioidone A (2) and spirocoleon 7-O-β-D-glucoside (3) using chromatographic techniques. Their structures were determined by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance including HSQC, HMBC, COSY and NOESY experiments, mass spectrometry (HR-MS) and other spectroscopic methods (UV, IR). Their antibacterial activity against the reference strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus CCM 4750 (MRSA) was evaluated using optical absorption to obtain quantitative information on their growth. All isolated compounds displayed anti-MRSA 4750 activity at the concentration of 512 μg/mL. Sincoetsin C (1) was the abietane diterpene most active against MRSA 4750, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 128 μg/mL.

Transdermal Iontophoresis of Small Molecules with Cotransport of Polystyrene Sulfonate Oligomers
Creators: name: Liddell, Mark Rulon
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: The fluxes of ionic and nonionic probe permeants across hairless mouse skin (HMS) were induced by direct current (DC) iontophoresis and used to characterize the transport pathways of the epidermal membrane under two conditions: 1) with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) in both the anodal and cathodal chamber, referred to as baseline studies; and 2) with PBS in the anodal chamber and with sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) in the cathodal chamber. Probe permeants used in these experiments were nonionic permeants (urea, mannitol, and raffinose), monovalent cationic permeants (sodium, tetraethylammonium, and tetraphenylphosphonium ions), and monovalent anionic permeants (chloride, salicylate, and taurocholate ions). The permeability coefficients of the nonionic probe permeants increased up to sixfold with sodium PSS in the cathodal chamber. Increases in the permeability coefficients of nonionic permeants were independent of the sodium PSS concentrations (sodium PSS concentrations investigated included 1.37, 13.7 and 137 mg/mL). Permeability coefficients of the cationic probe permeants also increased up to threefold relative to baseline results and remained constant, independent of the sodium PSS concentration in the cathodal chamber. The permeability coefficients of the anionic probe permeants increased slightly relative to baseline results with 1.37 mg/mL sodium PSS in the cathodal chamber and then decreased as the concentration of sodium PSS in the cathodal chamber increased. In addition to investigating the transport behavior of the probe permeants, the modified iv Nernst-Planck model was used as a theoretical framework for interpreting the data and calculating the effective pore radius (Rp) of pathways available to the probe permeants during iontophoresis. Under baseline conditions the Rp values obtained using nonionic permeant transport data ranged from 7 - 13 Å; with sodium PSS in the cathodal chamber Rp values ranged from 9 - 27 Å. The results of theoretical Nernst-Planck calculations also helped to explain the transport behavior of the cationic probe permeants and confirmed, based on cationic probe permeant data, that with sodium PSS in the cathodal chamber Rp values were in the same range (20 - 30 Å) as those calculated in baseline studies.

Genetically encoded calcium indicators
Infrared fluorescent protein

description: Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) are Ca2+ sensitive fluorescent proteins that have expanded the usefulness of optical calcium imaging to longitudinal in vivo studies due to their advantage of direct expression in the tissue being imaged. Several generations of GECIs have been developed using green fluorescent protein (GFP) or one of its variants with each generation improving upon Ca2+-binding affinities and optical properties. However, the tissue penetration of excitation or emission light through tissue is small due to high absorption of available GECI wavelengths, which are shorter than the infrared range. The field still lacks a GECI with excitation or emission wavelengths in the infrared range, which has significantly less attenuation in biological tissue. Here we propose the development of an infrared GECI by insertion of the Ca2+-binding domain calmodulin (CaM) into regions surrounding the biliverdin chromophore binding pocket of infrared fluorescent protein (iRFP). We proposed seven DNA constructs of iRFP with different CaM insertion sites. Six of the seven DNA constructs were successfully produced with protein expressed from one of these constructs exhibiting similar optical properties to iRFP, showing successful receptor insertion into iRFP. Though our initial Ca2+ sensitivity test to monitor change in fluorescence due to Ca2+ binding is not conclusive, we open the field of GECI engineering to exciting new possibilities for noninvasive deep tissue calcium imaging.

description: Leaf secondary metabolites production and physiological leaf traits were analyzed in Corylus avellana wild type (WT) and cultivar (cv. ‘Tonda Gentile Trilobata’, TGT) under different nutrient supplies. Three treatments were applied: control treatment with no fertilizer supply (WTC and TGTC), low nutrient treatment (WTLN and TGTLN) and high nutrient treatment (WTHN and TGTHN). The analysis of leaf extracts showed a higher concentration of Quercitrin and Myricitrin, with the highest concentrations of both the compounds in WT than TGT. This result can be related to the ecological role of flavonoids, including also antimicrobial properties, which resulted more useful in the understory forest form which hazelnut wild type originates. Therefore, their lower concentration in TGT can be relate to the genetic background of TGT cultivar with a lesser intrinsic need to produce such compounds and justified by a usual growth under more controlled environmental conditions, including also pest and disease control.

Research Software Engineering

description: Talk at Nordic RSE Conference 2024 at University of Aalto on 31 May 2024.

Research software is critical for much of modern research. Over the past 12 years the research software engineering (RSE) role has been established, combining an intimate understanding of research with professional software engineering expertise. This talk discusses the growth and evolution of the RSE role and RSE groups in the UK and the spread of these to other countries and regions globally, the current state of the RSE profession, and the challenges that still remain for RSE and other "non traditional" research roles.

Effects of dopamine depletion on N-methyl-D-aspartate and dopamine receptor-mediated regulation of striatonigral neurons.

description: The striatum receives dopamine (DA) and glutamate inputs which synapse on spiny efferent neurons. Glutamate acting via N-methyl-D-aspartate NMDA and non NMDA receptors regulates the firing of striatal efferent neurons, whereas D1 DA receptors modulate the responsiveness of these neurons to glutamate input. Studies indicate that DA depletion alters both NMDA and D1 DA receptor function in the striatum Thus, this thesis tested the overall hypothesis that DA-depleting brain lesions alter the interactions between NMDA receptors and D1 DA receptors, and thus the regulation of the striatonigral pathway when compared to neurologically intact animals. The overall hypothesis was tested by achieving the following specific aims. In specific aim 1, we examined the expression of the NR2A subunit of the NMDA receptor in striatonigral and striatopallidal neurons after unilateral DA depletion. Our results showed an increase in the NR2A subunit mRNA in both populations of striatal efferent neurons. As a consequence of DA depletion, therefore, the subunits from which NMDA receptors in striatal efferent neurons are composed are altered. In specific aim 2, we examined the effects of systemic NMDA receptor blockade by NM-801 on D1-agonist-induced immediate early gene (IEG) expression in the DA depleted striatum and provided evidence for decreased NMDA receptor involvement in D1-mediated gene regulation. In specific aim 3, we went on to further evaluate whether D1 DA receptor mediated EEG expression is differentially modulated by administration of distinct types of NMDA receptor antagonists in the DA-depleted striatum. Our results demonstrate that CGS 19755, which blocks both NR2A- and NR2B-containing NMDA receptors, suppressed D1-mediated c-fos

description: A new indole alkaloid, namely naucleofficine H (1), was obtained from the aqueous extract of Nauclea officinalis, together with four known alkaloids, vincosamide (2), strictosamide (3), angustoline (4) and pumiloside (5). Their structures were characterized by analyzing their physicochemical data including NMR, and HRMS. In addition, five compounds were tested for their proliferation activities. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), extra-cellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1 and 2 (ERK) and phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 (p-ERK) were also detected in HUVEC treated withbioactive compounds using western blotting. The result showed that these compounds could promote HUVEC cell proliferation. Compounds 3 and 5 could up-regulate VEGF and p-ERK in HUVEC.

description: This study investigated whether (i) the 5:1 combination of standardized extracts of Zingiber officinale and Acmella oleracea is endowed with analgesic effects and (ii) the phospholipid-based formulation of Zingiber officinale and Acmella oleracea extracts (ZAP) potentiated the analgesic effects of the plain extract combination (PEC). To this end, rats were exposed to acute pain (Tail Flick test) and chronic, inflammatory pain [Von Frey monofilament test and Randall–Selitto paw pressure test in rats treated intraplantarily with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)]. The plain combination of per se ineffective doses of the two extracts produced analgesic effects in healthy rats. ZAP was more potent and effective than the corresponding doses of PEC. ZAP also produced analgesic effects in CFA-treated rats. Studies are now warranted to assess whether the analgesic properties of ZAP may generalize to humans.
