Prevalence of Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans and Fusobacterium Nucleatum among Clinical Orthodontic Saliva Samples
Creators: name: Klingler, Jason Robert
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Changes to the oral microflora occur when there are shifts in the levels of the numerous bacterial species. Changes in bacterial load occur in health, disease, and dental treatments such as orthodontics and can be detected through saliva. Many studies dealing with saliva have centered around detecting bacteria known for correlation with chronic periodontitis and caries. Fewer have focused on bacterial species that contribute to microbial shifts not strictly correlated with disease. Measuring the degree of disease progression or future susceptibility is not always possible with traditional clinical parameters alone.
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (AA) is a bacterial strain that serves as a bridging species among the oral microbiome. Although it is commonly associated with localized aggressive periodontitis, it is also found commonly in the oral flora not suffering from that severe periodontal condition. AA plays an important role within the oral microbiome as it acts as a bridging species that allows other species of bacteria to coaggregate around it.
Altered tooth surfaces in the oral cavity, such as when fixed orthodontic appliances are in place, introduces surface area for plaque accumulation and impediments to daily plaque removal from the teeth while reducing the efficiency of natural plaque-removal mechanisms, such as salivary flow accompanied by movement of the oral mucosa and tongue. Although, some evidence exists about using unstimulated saliva as a screening tool for overtly putative species, limited evidence suggests screening for bacterial burden of bacterial species such as AA, which precede and contribute to coaggregation and heterotypic community formation.
The data from the following two studies provide evidence that salivary screening of orthodontic patients may be a non-invasive means to detect changes to important periodontal pathogens such as Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Fusobacterium nucleatum. both adult and pediatric orthodontic patients have an increased prevalence of AA, compared adult and pediatric patients not currently in fixed orthodontic appliances. Additionally, the data clearly suggest a correlation between overall microbial oral burden and Aggregatibacter presence in orthodontic patients. Directionality of the relationship, that is whether unidirectional or bidirectional, is yet to be established. More detailed longitudinal studies on this topic could elucidate this relationship. These data provide strong evidence that more research is needed and that continued focus in this area may provide clinical guidelines for assessment of risk for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Modifying two-body relaxation in N-body systems by gas accretion

description: We consider the effects that accretion from the interstellar medium onto the particles of an N-body system has on the rate of two-body relaxation. To this end, we derive an accretion-modified relaxation time by adapting Spitzer's two-component model to include the damping effects of accretion. We consider several different mass-dependencies and efficiency factors for the accretion rate, as well as different mass ratios for the two components of the model. The net effect of accretion is to accelerate mass segregation by increasing the average mass $\bar{m}$, since the relaxation time is inversely proportional to $\bar{m}$. Under the assumption that the accretion rate increases with the accretor mass, there are two additional effects that accelerate mass segregation. First, accretion acts to increase the range of any initial mass spectrum, quickly driving the heaviest members to even higher masses. Second, accretion acts to reduce the velocities of the accretors due to conservation of momentum, and it is the heaviest members that are affected the most. Using our two-component model, we quantify these effects as a function of the accretion rate, the total cluster mass, and the component masses. We conclude by discussing the implications of our results for the dynamical evolution of primordial globular clusters, primarily in the context of black holes formed from the most massive stellar progenitors.

description: The Group of Eight (G8) is an unofficial forum of the heads of state of the eight leading industrialized countries. In this paper, I examine the effect of the G8 (and its predecessor, the G7) on international trade. I use a gravity model of trade; the panel data set covers bilateral trade between 175 countries from 1948 through 1999. I find that membership in the G7/G8 is consistently associated with a strong positive effect on trade.
Motivation and Online Information Literacy Instruction: A Self-Determination Theory Approach
Creators: name: Marineo, Francesca

description: Information literacy skills, including critical thinking and problem-solving skills, are imperative for academic, personal, and professional success. Unfortunately, many students graduate only to be more daunted than ever by the vast amount of information available to them and increasingly rely on convenience over quality in their information-seeking behaviors. This study hoped to address this by increasing students' motivation for engaging in an online information literacy module. Using self-determination theory (SDT) from the field of motivation, motivationally-supportive modules were designed to support students' feelings of autonomy and competence and ultimately grades on their final research assignment. Experimental conditions included providing relevance, using non-controlling language, and providing feedback. Results and lessons learned are shared, as well as implications for theory, research, and practice.

description: The title inorganic-organic hybrid material containing a mixed anion, [BzIQl]2[Zn(NCS)2Br2] (1) (BzIQl = benzyl isoquinolinium, NCS− = isothiocyanate), crystallizes with a benzyl isoquinolinium cation and half of a bis(bromo)-bis(isothiocyanate)zinc(II) anion in the asymmetric unit. It was characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction (PXRD and SC-XRD). The organic cation exhibits a Λ-shaped configuration in which two aromatic rings form an inclined dihedral angle of 90.12°. The ZnII ion in the anion is coordinated by two Br ions and two isothiocyanate ions, and two contiguous anions forms a dimer through S···Br interactions. The thermal stability of the hybrid crystal analyzed by thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) reveals that the title crystal was stable up to 170 °C. The PXRD study confirms the phase purity of the crystalline sample. The band gap energy between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) explains the eventual charge transfer interaction that take place mainly between the anion and [BzIQl]+ cation, and the low value (0.46 ev) indicates the suitability of the crystal for optical application. The first hyperpolarizability predicted using density functional theory (DFT) is more than 720 times that of the reference potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystal (KDP).

description: The spin order in cubic perovskite SrFeO3 and BaFeO3 under high pressure is studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculation with local spin density approximation plus Hubbard U (LSDA+U). At ambient pressure, A-type and G-type helical spin orders are almost degenerate in BaFeO3 whose lattice constant is 3.97Å . When the lattice constant is reduced to 3.85 Å which is same as the lattice constant of SrFeO3 at ambient pressure, G-type helical spin order becomes stable, being consistent with SrFeO3. This is because superexchange interaction is enhanced as compared with double exchange interaction. Phase transition from helical spin state to ferromagnetic state in both SrFeO3 and BaFeO3 takes place if the lattice constant is further reduced to 3.70 Å. This is because reduced local spin moment weakens the contribution from superexchange interaction. Our result agrees with recent experimental result of BaFeO3 under high pressure. Additionally, our calculation predicts that half-metal BaFeO3 at ambient pressure will become a good metal under high pressure

description: While recent literature has pointed out that migrants’ remittances have a positive impact on savings with financial institutions, findings with respect to access to and the use of loans have been ambiguous. This paper investigates whether the reception of remittances facilitates taking up loans from formal or informal sources among Mexican households and finds positive and statistically significant effects of remittances on borrowing and on the existence of debts. We address methodological concerns of selection bias and reverse causality through household fixed effects and an instrumental strategy that exploits distance to train lines and labor market conditions in the US as exogenous determinants of remittances.

description: We continue our work on the study of spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity coupled to two spherically symmetric scalar fields, one which acts as a clock. As a consequence of the presence of the latter, we can define a true Hamiltonian for the theory. The spherically symmetric context allows to carry out precise detailed calculations. Here we study the theory for regions of large values of the radial coordinate. This allows us to define in detail the vacuum of the theory and study its quantum states, yielding a quantum field theory on a quantum space time that makes contact with the usual treatment on classical space times.

description: Recently, the prospects for amorphous phases of graphene (a-G) have been explored computationally. Initial models were flat, and contained odd-member rings, while maintaining three-fold coordination and sp2 bonding. Upon relaxation, puckering occurs, and may be traced to the existence of pentagons, in analogy with the situation for fullerenes. In this work, we systematically explore the inherent structures with energy close to the flat starting structure. As expected, the planar symmetry can be broken in various ways, which we characterize for 800-atom model of a-G, always using local basis density functional techniques. The classical normal modes of various structural models are discussed, with an emphasis on imaginary modes indicating the evolution from flat to puckered. We also discuss very low energy conformational fluctuations akin to those seen previously in amorphous silicon, and reflect on the nature of the amorphous "ground state" within a network of fixed topology. For completeness, high energy modes were also computed, and are found to be associated with strained parts of the network.

description: Let a:[0,1] -> R be a Lebesgue-almost everywhere positive function. We consider the Riemann-Liouville operator R^a of variable order a(.) as an operator from L_p[0,1] to L_q[0,1]. Our first aim is to study its continuity properties. For example, we show that R^a is always continuous in L_p[0,1] if p>1. Surprisingly, this becomes false for p=1. In order R^a to be continuous in L_1[0,1], the function a(.) has to satisfy some additional assumptions. In the second, central part of this paper we investigate compactness properties of R^a. We characterize functions a(.) for which R^a is a compact operator and for certain classes of functions a(.) we provide order-optimal bounds for the dyadic entropy numbers e_n(R^a).

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe healthcare-associated infections. Forty-eight extensively drug-resistant (XDR)-P. aeruginosa isolates were selected from 287 isolates collected for evaluation based on clinical susceptibility data. In vitro activity of commonly utilized antimicrobials (i.e. antipseudomonal beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and polymyxins) plus ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and aztreonam-avibactam against XDR-P. aeruginosa were determined. The mechanism of resistance profile was determined through phenotypic expression analysis. Overall, polymyxin B and colistin were 100% susceptible. Apart from the polymyxins, ceftolozane-tazobactam had the highest susceptibility (94%) followed by ceftazidime-avibactam (90%) and amikacin (83%). Ceftolozane-tazobactam activity was not significantly different from ceftazidime-avibactam (p=0.6831). Only 40% of isolates were susceptible to aztreonam-avibactam. All other agents demonstrated P. aeruginosa at our institution, in vitro analysis proposes superiority of ceftolozane-tazobactam; however, until further in vitro and in vivo validation both agents are reasonable options.

description: For the timely detection of business-cycle turning points we suggest to use mediumsized linear systems (subset VARs with automated zero restrictions) to forecast the relevant underlying variables, and to derive the probability of the turning point from the forecast density as the probability mass below (or above) a given threshold value. We show how this approach can be used in real time in the presence of data publication lags and how it can capture the part of the data revision process that is systematic. Then we apply the method to US and German monthly data. In an out-of-sample exercise (for 2007-2012/13) the turning points can be signalled before the official data publication confirms them (but not before they happened in reality).

description: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires state transportation agencies to submit a biennial report on local highway finances. The purpose of these reports is to provide FHWA with the data it needs to capture the financing of highway activities at the local level. Based on this information, it can identify trends in revenue, expenditures, investments, and program development, and in turn make decisions about future investments. The report, FHWA-536, asks agencies to report on four areas of local highway finance: 1) disposition of highway-user revenues; 2) revenues used for roads and streets identified by source and funding type; 3) road and street expenditures identified by purpose of activity; and 4) local highway debt status. This document summarizes data submitted to fulfill the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s FHWA-536 obligations in FY 2013. Total receipts were $462,004,967, an increase of $5,926,332 compared to FY 2011. Total disbursements equaled $572,291,527, an increase of $68,967,701 over FY 2011.

description: We propose a multiconfigurational hybrid density-functional theory which rigorously combines a multiconfiguration self-consistent-field calculation with a density-functional approximation based on a linear decomposition of the electron-electron interaction. This gives a straightforward extension of the usual hybrid approximations by essentially adding a fraction λof exact static correlation in addition to the fraction λof exact exchange. Test calculations on the cycloaddition reactions of ozone with ethylene or acetylene and the dissociation of diatomic molecules with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) and Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (BLYP) density functionals show that a good value of λis 0.25, as in the usual hybrid approximations. The results suggest that the proposed multiconfigurational hybrid approximations can improve over usual density-functional calculations for situations with strong static correlation effects.

description: The Aswan cliff on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko collapsed on 2015 July 10. Thereby, relatively pristine comet material from a depth of ~12 m was exposed at the surface. Observations of the collapse site by the microwave instrument Rosetta/MIRO have been retrieved from 8 months prior to collapse, as well as from 5, 7, and 11 months post-collapse. The MIRO data are analysed with thermophysical and radiative transfer models. The pre-collapse observations are consistent with a 30 MKS thermal inertia dust mantle with a thickness of at least 3 cm. The post-collapse data are consistent with: 1) a dust/water-ice mass ratio of 0.9$\pm$0.5 and a molar $\mathrm{CO_2}$ abundance of ~30 per cent relative to water; 2) formation of a dust mantle after ~7 months, having a thickness of a few millimetres or a fraction thereof; 3) a $\mathrm{CO_2}$ ice sublimation front at 0.4 cm that withdrew to 2.0 cm and later to 20$\pm$6 cm; 4) a thermal inertia ranging 10-45 MKS; 5) a gas diffusivity that decreased from $0.1\,\mathrm{m^2\,s^{-1}}$ to $0.001\,\mathrm{m^2\,s^{-1}}$; 6) presence of a solid-state greenhouse effect parts of the time. The data and the analysis provide a first empirical glimpse of how ice-rich cometary material ages and evolves when exposed to solar heating.

description: We report Herschel and AKARI photometric observations at far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths of the debris disk around the F3V star HD 15407A, in which the presence of an extremely large amount of warm dust (~500-600 K) has been suggested by mid-infrared (MIR) photometry and spectroscopy. The observed flux densities of the debris disk at 60-160 micron are clearly above the photospheric level of the star, suggesting excess emission at FIR as well as at MIR wavelengths previously reported. The observed FIR excess emission is consistent with the continuum level extrapolated from the MIR excess, suggesting that it originates in the inner warm debris dust and cold dust (~50-130 K) is absent in the outer region of the disk. The absence of cold dust does not support a late heavy bombardment-like event as an origin of the large amount of warm debris dust around HD 15047A.

description: We investigated the electronic and vibrational properties of magnetite at temperatures from 300 K down to 10 K and for pressures up to 10 GPa by far-infrared reflectivity measurements. The Verwey transition is manifested by a drastic decrease of the overall reflectance and the splitting of the phonon modes as well as the activation of additional phonon modes. In the whole studied pressure range the down-shift of the overall reflectance spectrum saturates and the maximum number of phonon modes is reached at a critical temperature, which sets a lower bound for the Verwey transition temperature T$_{\mathrm{v}}$. Based on these optical results a pressure-temperature phase diagram for magnetite is proposed.

title: Gold(III)-Catalyzed Cyclizations to Form Saturated Oxygen Heterocycles
Creators: name: Lyski, Ryan D.

description:
Gold catalysis has emerged over the past decade as an important methodology in the construction of organic molecules. Cationic gold complexes are robust, versatile, selective and efficient catalysts that can be used to enhance the electrophilicity of C-C unsaturated bonds. A current area of investigation is the use of gold to activate allylic alcohol/ether moieties for intramolecular SN2’ nucleophilic attack to form oxygen heterocycles. We have discovered that sterically bulky, electron-withdrawing oxygen leaving groups drastically improved reaction efficiency, and bulky leaving groups in combination with substrate substituents enhanced diastereomeric ratios in the oxygen heterocycle products. These reactions proceeded smoothly in the presence of many functional groups to consistently afford high diastereoselectivity. This methodology was attempted in the synthesis complex spirocyclic ether structures, and used in progress towards total synthesis of the natural product (±)-centrolobine.
title: Beliefs and Self-Efficacy of Parents of Young Children with Hearing Loss
Creators: name: Ambrose, Sophie E

description: The purpose of this study was to learn more about the beliefs and self-efficacy of parents of young children with hearing loss. Seventy-two parents completed the Scale of Parental Involvement and Self-Efficacy - Revised (SPISE-R), which queries parents about their child’s hearing device use and their perceptions of their own beliefs, knowledge, confidence, and actions pertaining to supporting their child’s auditory access and spoken language development. Two beliefs were identified that related to parents’ action scores and one belief was identified that related to children’s hearing device use. Knowledge and confidence scores were significantly correlated with action scores and children’s hearing device use, whereas only confidence scores were related to scores on a measure of children’s spoken language abilities. Results indicate the SPISE-R is a promising tool for use in early intervention to better understand parents’ strengths and needs pertaining to supporting their young child’s auditory access and spoken language development.
title: South Dakota Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program: Using Teleaudiology to  Conduct Infant Diagnostic Assessments
Creators: name: Williams, Hannah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Teleaudiology allows patients and providers to bypass several economic and geographic barriers that impede the delivery and accessibility of audiological services. The South Dakota Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program recognized this benefit and created a teleaudiology infrastructure for the diagnostic assessment of infants. Using a hub-and-spoke model, a certified pediatric audiologist at the hub site assesses infants located at two spoke sites in South Dakota. Remote control software applications are used to provide a synchronous method of service delivery. The audiologist’s test battery includes video otoscopy, tympanometry, and auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing. Since establishing the teleaudiology program, nine infant assessments have been completed. The South Dakota EHDI program will continue improving the teleaudiology project to ensure all infants in the state have access to pediatric audiological services.

description: An equilateral dimension of a normed space is a maximal number of pairwise equidistant points of this space. The aim of this paper is to study the equilateral dimension of certain classes of finite dimensional normed spaces. The well-known conjecture states that the equilateral dimension of any $n$-dimensional normed space is not less than $n+1$. By using an elementary continuity argument, we establish it in the following classes of spaces: permutation-invariant spaces, Orlicz-Musielak spaces and in one codimensional subspaces of $\ell^n_{\infty}$. For smooth and symmetric spaces, Orlicz-Musielak spaces satisfying an additional condition and every $(n-1)$-dimensional subspace of $\ell^{n}_{\infty}$ we also provide some weaker bounds on the equilateral dimension for every space which is sufficiently close to one of these. This generalizes the result of Swanepoel and Villa concerning the $\ell_p^n$ spaces.

description: This papers sheds light on the puzzling evidence that even though open source software (OSS) is a public good, it is developed for free by highly qualified, young and motivated individuals, and evolves at a rapid pace. We show that once OSS development is understood as the private provision of a public good, these features emerge quite naturally. We adapt a dynamic private-provision- of-public-goods model to reflect key aspects of the OSS phenomenon. In particular, instead of relying on extrinsic motives for programmers (e.g. signaling) the present model is driven by intrinsic motives of OSS programmers, such as user-programmers, play value or homo ludens payoff, and gift culture benefits. Such intrinsic motives feature extensively in the wider OSS literature and contribute new insights to the economic analysis.

description: In the economic literature, geographic distances are considered fundamental factors to be included in any theoretical model whose aim is the quantification of the trade between countries. Quantitatively, distances enter into the so-called gravity models that successfully predict the weight of non-zero trade flows. However, it has been recently shown that gravity models fail to reproduce the binary topology of the World Trade Web. In this paper a different approach is presented: the formalism of exponential random graphs is used and the distances are treated as constraints, to be imposed on a previously chosen ensemble of graphs. Then, the information encoded in the geographical distances is used to explain the binary structure of the World Trade Web, by testing it on the degree-degree correlations and the reciprocity structure. This leads to the definition of a novel null model that combines spatial and non-spatial effects. The effectiveness of spatial constraints is compared to that of nonspatial ones by means of the Akaike Information Criterion and the Bayesian Information Criterion. Even if it is commonly believed that the World Trade Web is strongly dependent on the distances, what emerges from our analysis is that distances do not play a crucial role in shaping the World Trade Web binary structure and that the information encoded into the reciprocity is far more useful in explaining the observed patterns.
