description: Primary objective: Neurotrophin levels are elevated after TBI yet there is minimal regeneration. It was hypothesized that the pro-neurotrophin/p75NTR pathway is induced more than the mature neurotrophin/Trk pathway and that interfering with p75 signaling improves recovery following TBI. Research design: Lateral Fluid Percussion (LFP) injury was performed on wildtype and p75 mutant mice. In addition, TrkB agonist 7,8 Dihydroxyflavone or p75 antagonist TAT-Pep5 were tested. Western blot and immunohistochemistry revealed biochemical and cellular changes. Morris Water Maze and Rotarod tests demonstrated cognitive and vestibulomotor function. Main outcomes and results: p75 was upregulated and TrkB is downregulated 1 day post LFP. p75 mutant mice as well as mice treated with the p75 antagonist or the TrkB agonist exhibited reduced neuronal death and degeneration and less astrocytosis. The cells undergoing apoptosis appear to be neurons rather than glia. There was improved motor function and spatial learning in p75 mutant mice and mice treated with the p75 antagonist. Conclusions: Many of the pathological and behavioural consequences of TBI might be due to activation of the pro-neurotrophin/p75 toxic pathway overriding the protective mechanisms of the mature neurotrophin/Trk pathway. Targeting p75 can be a novel strategy to counteract the damaging effects of TBI.

description: Power and energy consumption have recently become key concerns for high-performance servers, especially when they are deployed in large cluster configurations as in data centers and Web hosting facilities. Research on power and energy management for these servers can ease installation, reduce costs, and protect the environment. Given these benefits, researchers have made important strides in conserving energy in these servers. Inspired by this initial progress, researchers are delving deeper into this topic. In this paper, we detail the motivation for this research, survey the previous work, describe a few ongoing efforts, and discuss the challenges that lie ahead.
Text-based content search and retrieval in ad hoc P2P communities
Creators: name: Matias Cuenca-Acuna, Francisco

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2002

description: We consider the problem of content search and retrieval in peer-to-peer (P2P) communities. P2P computing is a potentially powerful model for information sharing between ad hoc groups of users because of its low cost of entry and natural model for resource scaling with community size. As P2P communities grow in size, however, locating information distributed across the large number of peers becomes problematic. We present a distributed text-based content search and retrieval algorithm to address this problem. Our algorithm is based on a state-of-the-art text-based document ranking algorithm: the vector-space model, instantiated with the TFxIDF ranking rule. A naive application of TFxIDF would require each peer in a community to collect an inverted index of the entire community. This is costly both in terms of bandwidth and storage. Instead, we show how TFxIDF can be approximated given compact summaries of peers’ local inverted indexes. We make three contributions: (a) we show how the TFxIDF rule can be adapted to use the index summaries, (b) we provide a heuristic for adaptively determining the set of peers that should be contacted for a query, and (c) we show that our algorithm tracks TFxIDF’s performance very closely, regardless of how documents are distributed throughout the community. Furthermore, our algorithm preserves the main flavor of TFxIDF by retrieving close to the same set of documents for any given query.
Exporting environment awareness to mobile applications

description: In mobile computing, factors such as add-on hardware components and heterogeneous networks result in an environment made up of changing resource constraints. An application in such a constrained environment must react to these changes so that available resources are properly utilized. In this paper, we propose an architecture to report changes in the environment to interested applications. The architecture is based on an event delivery mechanism that decouples event detection from delivery, giving the flexibility and extensibility that is necessary in a mobile computing environment. Information associated with the event is delivered as part of the event notification, while delivery latency is reduced by clever thread scheduling. We demonstrate the utility of our architecture by structuring an environment aware networking subsystem around a prototype implementation. The performance of this implementation is competitive with current event delivery mechanisms such as the Unix signal.

description: Authoritarian local leaders face two driving forces in social policy making: top-down pressures from the regime and bottom-up motivations derived from local conditions. Existing studies recognize the importance of both forces but remain unclear as to how they interact and which of them is more influential in driving local policy adoption. Focusing on two health insurance integration policies in China, we find that when the policy is political (i.e., entailing substantial class conflicts and bureaucratic friction), top-down pressure for compliance is a dominant driver for local adoption of social policy reform. When the policy is less political, bottom-up motivations based on local economic geography together with top-down pressure drive local adoption. We find support for this argument from an analysis of an original city-level dataset on social health insurance in China from 2004 to 2016. This study has implications for distributive politics, decentralization and government responsiveness in authoritarian countries.

 Remarks. – In the specimen from st. CP 115, rostrum/ carapace ratio (=1), as well as number of rostral spines (30 dorsal, of which seven post orbital, and eight ventral) and their arrangement, appearing to be very close to that of the holotype (see Cleva 1990: 92, Fig. 4). The short, stout dactyls of the last three pairs of pereiopods are other characteristic features of this species.
The specimen from st. CD 192 probably belongs to this species, but some doubt remains due to its poor condition (rostrum and telson broken, many appendages missing, body more reddish and pereiopods without bands). Identification of the specimen from CD 210, damaged and without rostrum remains also uncertain.
 Coloration. – Body generally yellowish-orange. Pereiopods and telson slightly banded with orange and white (Fig. 6d).
  Distribution. – Stylodactylus tokarensis  is known from East China Sea (holotype, 820 m depth), Indonesia (285-595 m), New Caledonia (485-850 m) and the Chesterfield Islands (500-570 m). It has recently been collected in the Fidji Islands (567-699 m) and the Solomon Islands (442-451 m) by the French cruises MUSORSTOM 10 and SALOMON 1. This is the first record for Taiwan, where the species was caught between 381-440 m (or even more, see above under “Material examined” and “Remarks”).

Here, the authors examine a number of limitations of the estimates identified in the U.S. government report and elsewhere and review recent advances that could pave the way for improvements. The authors consider in turn socio-economic scenarios, treatment of physical climate response, damage estimates, ways of incorporating risk aversion, and consistency between SCC estimates and broader climate policy.

description: The use of pointers creates serious problems for optimizing compilers and software engineering tools. Pointers enable indirect memory accesses through pointer dereferences, as well as indirect procedure calls (e.g., through function pointers in C). Such indirect accesses and calls can be disambiguated with pointer analysis. In this paper we evaluate the precision of a pointer analysis by Zhang et al. [17] for the purposes of call graph construction for C programs with function pointers. The analysis uses an inexpensive, almost-linear, flow- and context-insensitive algorithm. To measure analysis precision, we compare the call graph computed by the analysis with the most precise call graph obtainable by a large category of pointer analyses. Surprisingly, for all our data programs the analysis from [17] achieves the best possible precision. This result indicates that for the purposes of call graph construction, even inexpensive analyses can provide very good precision, and therefore the use of more expensive analyses may not be justified.

description: Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer, with a five-year survival rate of only 10%. Nanotechnology offers a novel perspective to treat such deadly cancers through their incorporation into radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with cancer cells and with other major cell types within the pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME) is yet to be understood. Therefore, our goal is to shed light on the dynamics of NPs within a TME of pancreatic origin. In addition to cancer cells, normal fibroblasts (NFs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) were examined in this study due to their important yet opposite roles of suppressing tumor growth and promoting tumor growth, respectively. Gold nanoparticles were used as the model NP system due to their biocompatibility and physical and chemical proprieties, and their dynamics were studied both quantitatively and qualitatively in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro studies revealed that both cancer cells and CAFs take up 50% more NPs compared to NFs. Most importantly, they all managed to retain 70–80% of NPs over a 24-h time period. Uptake and retention of NPs within an in vivo environment was also consistent with in vitro results. This study shows the paradigm-changing potential of NPs to combat the disease.

description: Despite extensive research on sex/gender differences in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. Here we present a systematic overview of three sex/gender-related risk pathways. We assessed 16 risk factors as well as 3 month PTSD severity in a prospective cohort study (n = 2924) of acutely traumatized individuals and investigated potential mediators in the pathway between sex assigned at birth and PTSD severity using multiple mediation analysis with regularization. Six risk factors were more prevalent/severe in women, and none was more pronounced in men. Analyses showed that acute stress disorder, neuroticism, lifetime sexual assault exposure, anxiety sensitivity and pretrauma anxiety symptoms fully mediated and uniquely contributed to the relationship between sex assigned at birth and PTSD severity. Our results demonstrate different risk mechanisms for women and men. Such knowledge can inform targeted interventions. Our systematic approach to differential risk pathways can be transferred to other mental disorders to guide sex- and gender-sensitive mental health research.

description: Race and racism are defining features of criminal justice systems in the United States. Race is also a defining feature of criminological theory. There have been robust efforts to address racism within theories and institutional practices pertaining to crime, law, and institutions of formal social control, but whiteness remains at the core of criminological knowledge production. The current article provides empirical support for showing how whiteness conditions the academic discourses of criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) in the United States. CCJ research plays an important role in discussions of racial justice and public policy. By studying the racialised (that is, white) nature of the CCJ research industry, we can better understand where critical criminology ‘fits’ in the broader struggle for social, racial and epistemological justice.

Efficient Learning of Action Schemas and Web-Service Descriptions

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2008

description: This work addresses the problem of efficiently learning action schemas using a bounded number of samples (interactions with the environment). We consider schemas in two languages— traditional STRIPS, and a new language STRIPS+WS that extends STRIPS to allow for the creation of new objects when an action is executed. This modification allows STRIPS+WS to model web services and can be used to describe web-service composition (planning) problems. We show that general STRIPS operators cannot be ef- ficiently learned through raw experience, though restricting the size of action preconditions yields a positive result. We then show that efficient learning is possible without this restriction if an agent has access to a “teacher” that can provide solution traces on demand. We adapt this learning algorithm to efficiently learn web-service descriptions in STRIPS+WS.

A curriculum revolution 30 years in the making: Tactical and strategic approaches for pedagogical reform

description: Has a revolutionary seed, planted over three decades ago, germinated long enough to fully (and finally) flourish? Diekelmann (1993) theorized that narrative pedagogy could help contextualize the intricacies of practice for nursing students through a process of exploration and shared dialogue. Benner and colleagues (2010) advocated for shifting emphases within nursing curricula and asked educators to consider the need for salient learning experiences that illustrate the multidimensional nature of nursing. Two years ago, the American Association for Colleges of Nursing (AACN) put forth a new framework to promote competency in nursing students (AACN, 2021) and suggested that the Essentials provided an explicit avenue for bridging the knowledge-practice gap. Nurse educators, the very “boots on the ground” in this frustratingly unending march to victory, face challenges in transitioning classroom and clinical teaching practices in revolutionary ways. Many have begun adopting a variety of methods to facilitate engaged, relatable, and contextualized learning for students but have yet to operationalize teaching practices to promote sustainable change within nursing academe. This presentation merges the historical context for nursing education with a tactical and strategic plan that emphasizes the use of integrative, competency-based learning experiences applicable to all entry or advanced practice programs of nursing.
Integrating qualitative and quantitative object representations in the recovery and tracking of 3-D shape

Publisher: name: Rutgers University

description: Data-driven models such as active contours in 2-D and deformable surfaces in 3-D have become prevalent in the computer vision community, particularly in the areas of shape tracking and shape recovery. They provide an important alternative to typical model-based recognition and tracking approaches that assume knowledge of the exact geometry of the object. Despite the power of these approaches, data- driven models often encode too little model information. As a consequence, active 3-D model recovery schemes often require manual segmentation or good model initialization, and active contour trackers have been able to track only an object's translation in the image. To overcome these problems requires bridging the representational gap between overconstrained geometric models and underconstrained active models. In previous work, we introduced a qualitative object representation integrating object-centered and viewer-centered models. In this paper, we first show how this representation provides the missing constraints on the recovery of quantitative 3-D deformable models from 2-D images. We then show how this same representation provides the missing constraints needed to qualitatively track an object's rotation in depth or to quantitatively track an object's pose.

description: Interprocedural analysis requires a statically determinable call multigraph to represent the program. Programs that use function pointers or function-valued variables present a difficult problem for static analysis. In C, function pointers can be formal parameters, actual arguments to functions, or global/local variables. The difficulty of precisely determining the call multigraph of a program { or statically determining the aliases of a function pointer at a call site { depends on the types of function pointers used (i.e., local or global) [ZR94]. In this study, we have statically gathered empirical information on C function pointer usage to better predict appropriate interprocedural analyses required for C programs.

Approximation Operators in Distributed Modeling

description: Computer programs which do any task which requires reasoning about physical systems need to use models of those systems with varying accuracy/complexity traders. This paper describes an approach to model generation in the domain of heat transfer which is capable of producing models that vary greatly along this dimension. This approach is based on the law of conservation of energy, which provides a set of choices for the models in terms of control volumes" and heat flows. These choices are made by using rules of thumb, which can be seen as instances of two reduction operators, delta-iso, and dominance. Various rough models are used to estimate the physical parameters on which these rules depend. That is, the rough models are evaluated in the process of building more accurate ones. The application of these operators is only valid for a specific set of physically meaningful quantities; thus we are really reasoning about physics, not equations. This method has been implemented in a running system, MSG.

description: 1. Reproductive asynchrony, a temporal mismatch in reproductive maturation between an individual and potential mates, may contribute to mate-finding failure and Allee effects that influence the establishment and spread of invasive species. Variation in elevation is likely to promote variability in maturation times for species with temperature-dependent development, but it is not known how strongly this influences reproductive asynchrony or the population growth of invasive species. 2. We examined whether spatial variation in reproductive asynchrony, due to differences in elevation and local heterogeneity in elevation (hilliness), can explain spatial heterogeneity in the population growth rate of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), along its invasion front in Virginia and West Virginia, USA. 3. We used a spatially explicit model of the effects of reproductive asynchrony on mating success to develop predictions of the influences of elevation and elevational heterogeneity on local population growth rates. Population growth rates declined with increased elevation and more modestly with increased elevational heterogeneity. As in earlier work, we found a positive relationship between the population growth rate and the number of introduced egg masses, indicating a demographic Allee effect. At high elevations and high heterogeneity in elevation, the population growth rate was lowest and the density at which the population tended to replace itself (i.e., the Allee threshold) was highest. 4. An analysis of 22 years of field data also showed decreases in population growth rates with elevation and heterogeneity in elevation that were largely consistent with the model predictions. 5. These results highlight how topographic characteristics can affect reproductive asynchrony and influence mate-finding Allee effects in an invading non-native insect population. Given the dependence of developmental rates on temperature in poikilotherms, topographic effects on reproductive success could potentially be important to the population dynamics of many organisms.

description: Mutations that provide environment-dependent selective advantages drive adaptive divergence among species. Many phenotypic differences among related species are more likely to result from gene expression divergence rather than from non-synonymous mutations. In this regard, cis-regulatory mutations play an important part in generating functionally significant variation. Some proposed mechanisms that explore the role of cis-regulatory mutations in gene expression divergence involve microsatellites. Microsatellites exhibit high mutation rates achieved through symmetric or asymmetric mutation processes and are abundant in both coding and non-coding regions in positions that could influence gene function and products. Here we tested the hypothesis that microsatellites contribute to gene expression divergence among species with 50 individuals from five closely related Helianthus species using an RNA-seq approach. Differential expression analyses of the transcriptomes revealed that genes containing microsatellites in non-coding regions (UTRs and introns) are more likely to be differentially expressed among species when compared to genes with microsatellites in the coding regions and transcripts lacking microsatellites. We detected a greater proportion of shared microsatellites in 5′UTRs and coding regions compared to 3′UTRs and non-coding transcripts among Helianthus spp. Furthermore, allele frequency differences measured by pairwise FST at single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), indicate greater genetic divergence in transcripts containing microsatellites compared to those lacking microsatellites. A gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that microsatellite-containing differentially expressed genes are significantly enriched for GO terms associated with regulation of transcription and transcription factor activity. Collectively, our study provides compelling evidence to support the role of microsatellites in gene expression divergence.

description: Software development teams exchange source code in shared repositories. These repositories are kept consistent by having developers follow a commit policy, such as “Program edits can be committed only if all available tests succeed.” Such policies may result in long intervals between commits, increasing the likelihood of duplicative development and merge conflicts. Furthermore, commit policies are generally not automatically enforceable. We present an analysis-based algorithm to identify committable changes that can be released early, without causing failures of existing tests, even in the presence of failing tests in a developer’s local workspace! The algorithm can support relaxed commit policies that allow early release of changes, reducing the potential for merge conflicts. In experiments using several versions of Daikon with failing tests, 3 newly enabled commit policies were shown to allow a significant percentage of changes to be committed

description: This paper discusses problems in the management of library e-resources and attempts to identify potential solutions to the problems. By describing an e-resources enhancement project taken by Rutgers University Libraries, this paper points to the importance of providing contextually-rich metadata and reorganizing the accessibility of e-resources on a library’s website. It introduces how this Rutgers project adopted the National Information Standards Organization Metasearch Initiative to support the identification of appropriate e-collections for metaseaching. The outcomes of the project have facilitated a dynamic display of relevant e-resources to library users as an effective way of automatic access to library e-collections.
Crowdsourcing: How is value created?

description: Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing work to a large, undefined crowd through an open call. This study examines the nature, practice and value creation potential of crowdsourcing in relation to management literature. A qualitative, theory building approach is used of eight crowdsourcing firms utilizing informants comprising firm executives matched with firm crowd members. Findings reveal that businesses entirely based on crowdsourcing are new, unique, industry-disruptive and create value for disparate stakeholders. The grounded data reveals that value is created by and for all three key stakeholders: the firm, client and crowd. Theoretically, this paper contributes to an expanded boundary model of where value is created. Crowdsourcing firms use their crowds both as a firm-centric labour resource and as a consumer of their products in the same business cycle. This challenges notions of upstream firm-centric versus downstream consumer- focused value creation frameworks - especially because the amorphous crowds operating in both spheres are indistinguishable and not mutually exclusive. Findings also establish value drivers of innovation, attraction/engagement, size/scale and efficiency in relation to crowdsourcing. Such value drivers help form the conception that crowdsourcing is a unique type of business model with its own business model design.

description: This qualitative study uses document analysis to explore the description of archival music materials in 35 online finding aids for music collections, including single-level and multi-level finding aids. A group of 29 codes was developed and applied across the sample to determine the characteristics related to music materials that were most frequently described. Findings include “date” as the most frequently described characteristic, with format of materials being the second. Regarding differences between description of sound recordings and notated music, this study also finds that date was more frequently described for notated music and format more frequently for sound recordings.

description: The growing deployment of OpenFlow/SDN networks makes it increasingly possible to leverage network multi-cast services. This work proposes a novel cross-layer Multicast- Push Unicast Pull (MPUP) architecture that includes functionality in the application, transport and link layers to offer users a reliable file-stream distribution service to multiple subscribers. A prototype implementation of the MPUP architecture was realized in a new version of Local Data Manager (LDM), LDM7, a software program that has been in use since 1994 for real-time meteorology data distribution. LDM6, the currently deployed version, uses application-layer multicast. Experiment were run on the GENI infrastructure to compare LDM7 and LDM6. The two main findings are (i) LDM7 can be run at a higher sending rate than LDM6 allowing for improved performance (lower file-delivery latency), and (ii) to achieve the same performance, LDM7 uses significantly lower bandwidth and compute capacity. A three-fold improvement in performance improvement was possible with LDM7, and a bandwidth reduction from 350 Mbps to 21.4 Mbps was observed with 24 receivers.
