title: Partisan Stereotype Exaggeration: The Role of Like-Minded Media Consumption and Inter-Party Hostility
Creators: name: Hughes, Kamran
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2018

description:
The current study examines how like-minded media consumption and inter-party hostility contribute to the formation of political stereotypes. More specifically, I investigated stereotypes about Democrats’ and Republicans’ general willingness to accept inequality among social groups. Prior research indicates that political stereotypes tend to be exaggerations of actual liberal-conservative differences in personality. However, researchers know little about the factors contributing to Democrats’ and Republicans’ expression of exaggerated partisan stereotypes. I hypothesized that like-minded media consumption, inter-party hostility, and Democratic Party affiliation would be positive predictors of stereotype exaggeration. To test this hypothesis, 259 U.S. partisan adults completed the Social Dominance Orientation Scale. Using an instructional manipulation they took the scale three times: As themselves, as if they were the average Democrat, and as if they were the average Republican. Then participants completed measures of media consumption, inter-party hostility, and party affiliation. The data indicated that Democrats exhibited higher levels of stereotype exaggeration when compared to Republicans. Also, like-minded media consumption and inter-party hostility were positive predictors of stereotype exaggeration. Exploratory analyses indicated that like-minded media consumption predicted stereotype exaggeration which, in turn, was associated with lower expectations for public deliberation. I interpret the results by drawing on social identity theory and research in media studies.

description: Excellent wound dressing is essential for effective wound repair and regeneration. This chapter aims to evaluate the effectiveness of bacterial cellulose (BC) and type I collagen (COL) scaffolds conjugated with resveratrol (RSV) for wound management. BC and COL are biodegradable and renewable attractive polymers for medical applications which has a strong affinity for materials containing hydroxyl groups, meanwhile RSV has a 4′-hydroxyl group and exhibits good biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity. The results demonstrated that RSV was effectively released from the BC and COL scaffolds in vitro, and immunofluorescence staining showed that both scaffolds were highly biocompatible and regenerated epithelia. Additionally, Masson’s trichrome staining showed that the both scaffolds preserved the normal collagen-bundling pattern and induced re-epithelialization in defective rat epidermis. These results indicate that RSV-conjugated BC or COL scaffold created a biocompatible environment for stem cell attachment and growth and promoted epithelial regeneration during wound healing.

description: In order to elucidate the role of surfaces at nonequilibrium phase transitions we consider kinetic Ising models with surfaces subjected to a periodic oscillating magnetic field. Whereas the corresponding bulk system undergoes a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition characterized by the exponents of the equilibrium Ising model, we find that the nonequilibrium surface exponents do not coincide with those of the equilibrium critical surface. In addition, in three space dimensions the surface phase diagram of the nonequilibrium system differs markedly from that of the equilibrium system.

description: The low-temperature crystal structure of BaCuSi2O6 has been investigated with high-resolution synchrotron x-ray and neutron powder diffraction techniques and has been found to be on average (ignoring the incommensurate modulation) orthorhombic, with the most probable space group Ibam. The Cu-Cu dimers in this material are forming two types of layers with distinctly different interatomic distances. Subtle changes also modify the partially frustrated interlayer Cu-Cu exchange paths. The present results corroborate the interpretation of low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance and inelastic neutron scattering data in terms of distinct dimer layers.

title: Driving Sortase-Mediated Ligations Using Metal-Coordinating Peptides
Creators: name: Reed, Sierra
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2018

description:
The versatility of sortase-mediated ligations as a protein modification technique has been well demonstrated, but the efficiency of these reactions suffers from inherent reversibility. Solutions to this issue have been reported, however these methods are accompanied by additional limitations of the sortase-mediated ligation (SML) strategy. A preferable methodology would include the smallest possible modification site without restricting the point of ligation. One promising solution to this issue is the expansion of the LPXTG SrtA recognition sequence to LPXTGGH, giving the excised fragment an N-terminal GGH motif. This minor alteration has been shown to allow complexation of the excised fragment with Ni2+ ions, thus sequestering this component from the reaction and improving yields through hindered reversibility. In this thesis, we explore the scope of this metal-assisted sortase-mediated ligation (MASML) approach, including the Ni2+-enhanced modification of full sized proteins with a number of useful chromophores. Furthermore, this approach was shown to be compatible with the installation of PEG and a cyclooctyne bioorthogonal ligation handle. In total, this work demonstrates that MASML is compatible with a range of high value protein targets and modifications, and shows how MASML is a straightforward method for improving the efficiency of sortase-mediated protein engineering strategies.

title: A Psychosocial Approach to Predicting Self-Harm in Heterogeneous Populations
Creators: name: Sitton, Melissa J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2018

description:
Previous studies have demonstrated relationships between deliberate self-harm and psychological distress and social functioning (for a review see Nock, 2010). However, few studies have examined psychological distress and social functioning at the same time in order to compare these predictors of deliberate self-harm. Using a more comprehensive, psychosocial approach may allow more accurate predictions of deliberate self-harm. Accurate predictions could aid in the intervention and treatment of individuals who engage in deliberate self-harm, regardless of their population; that is, whether they are seeking treatment for symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder, or if they are a member of the community. In the current study, we used a sample of individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (N = 60) and a community sample of undergraduate college students (N = 116), all of whom reported engaging in deliberate self-harm at least once in the past year. Participants completed measures of deliberate self-harm (outcome variable), psychological distress (specifically depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsion, and interpersonal sensitivity; predictor variables), and social functioning (positive support and negative interactions with family members, friends, and a romantic partner; predictor variables). We found that the population (or sample type) was the strongest predictor of deliberate self-harm, with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder engaging in more deliberate self-harm than students. Additionally, anxiety predicted deliberate self-harm for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder. No social functioning variables predicted deliberate self-harm. Explanations for findings and treatment implications are discussed.

description: Cloud computing is drastically growing technology which provides an on-demand software, hardware, infrastructure and data storage as services. This technology is used worldwide to improve the business infrastructure and performance. However, to utilize these services by intended customer, it is necessary to have strong password authentication. At present, cloud password authentication can be done in several ways, such as, textual password, graphical and 3D password. In this paper, we are proposing the strong password generation technique by considering multiple input parameters of cloud paradigm referred as a multidimensional password. This paper presents the multidimensional password generation technique along with architecture, sequence diagrams, algorithms and typical user interfaces. At the end, we derive the probability of breaking our authentication system.

description: High-$T_c$ superconductors with CuO$_2$ layers, manganites La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$MnO$_3$, and cobaltites LaCoO$_3$ present several mysteries in their physical properties. Most of them are believed to come from the strongly-correlated nature of these materials. From the theoretical viewpoint, there are many hidden rocks in making the consistent description of the band structure and low-energy physics starting from the Fermi-liquid approach. Here we discuss the alternative method -- multielectron approach to the electronic structure calculations for the Mott insulators -- called LDA+GTB (local density approximation + generalized tight-binding) method. Its origin is a straightforward generalization of the Hubbard perturbation theory in the atomic limit and the multiband $p-d$ Hamiltonian with the parameters calculated within LDA. We briefly discuss the method and focus on its applications to cuprates, manganites, and cobaltites.

description: This paper is a qualitative comparison of two seminal academics in the field of Catholic education: Gerald Grace and John Sullivan. The selection of Grace and Sullivan is a result of their respective interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Catholic education, each has offered a significant research contribution to their chosen field. Incorporating evidence from a large pool of their research, as well as corroborating work from other scholars, my paper aims to assess the ways in which Grace and Sullivan understand the present state and challenges faced by Catholic education in the United Kingdom. It argues that Grace and Sullivan, when assessed together, represent a reinvigorated field of Catholic education and Catholic intellectual heritage.
Hot Gas, Cold Gas and Sub-Halos in a Lyman-alpha Blob at Redshift 2.38

description: We present integral field spectroscopy of a Lyman-alpha blob at redshift 2.38, with a spectral resolution three times better than previous published work. As with previous observations, the blob has a chaotic velocity structure, much of which breaks up into multiple components. Our spectroscopy shows, however, that some of these multiple components are extremely narrow: they have velocity widths of less than 100 km/s. Combining these new data with previous observations, we argue that this Lyman-alpha blob resides in a dark-matter halo of around 10^13 solar masses. At the centre of this halo are two compact red massive galaxies. They are surrounded by hot gas, probably a super-wind from merger-induced nuclear starbursts. This hot gas has shut down star formation in the non-nuclear region of these galaxies, leading to their red-and-dead colours. A filament or lump of infalling cold gas is colliding with the hot gas phase and being shocked to high temperatures, while still around 30kpc from the red galaxies. The shock region is self-absorbed in Lyman-alpha but produces C IV emission. Further out still, the cold gas in a number of sub-halos is being lit up, most likely by a combination of tidally triggered star formation, bow-shocks as they plough through the hot halo medium, resonant scattering of Lyman-alpha from the filament collision, and tidal stripping of gas which enhances the Lyman-alpha escape fraction. The observed Lyman-alpha emission from the Blob is dominated by the sum of the emission from these sub-halos. On statistical grounds, we argue that Lyman-alpha blobs are not greatly elongated in shape, and that most are not powered by ionisation or scattering from a central active galactic nucleus or starburst.

description: By comparing the impact of established laser smoothing techniques like Random Phase Plates (RPP) and Smoothing by Spectral Dispersion (SSD) to the concept of "Spike Trains of Uneven Duration and Delay" (STUD pulses) on the amplification of parametric instabilities in laser-produced plasmas, we show with the help of numerical simulations, that STUD pulses can drastically reduce instability growth by orders of magnitude. The simulation results, obtained with the code {\sc Harmony} in a nonuniformly flowing mm-size plasma for the Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) instability, show that the efficiency of the STUD pulse technique is due to the fact that successive re-amplification in space and time of parametrically excited plasma waves inside laser hot spots is minimized. An overall mean fluctuation level of ion acoustic waves at low amplitude is established because of the frequent change of the speckle pattern in successive spikes. This level stays orders of magnitude below the levels of ion acoustic waves excited in hot spots of RPP and SSD laser beams.

description: We study ghosts in multimetric gravity by combining the mini-superspace and the Hamiltonian constraint analysis. We first revisit bimetric gravity and explain why it is ghost-free. Then, we apply our method to trimetric gravity and clarify when the model contains a ghost. More precisely, we prove trimetric gravity generically contains a ghost. However, if we cut the interaction of a pair of metrics, trimetric gravity becomes ghost-free. We further extend the Hamiltonian analysis to general multimetric gravity and calculate the number of ghosts in various models. Thus, we find multimetric gravity with loop type interactions never becomes ghost-free.

description: Industrial processes and used commercial (metallic) products generate large quantity of metallic waste products which are discharged into the water or land-dump sites. It has been estimated that the toxicity due to metallic discharge, into the environments far exceeds the combined total toxicity of all radioactive and organic wastes. The extent to which metals and their compounds are used in industrial operations cannot be overemphasized. Meanwhile, effluents from the industrial operations contain some heavy metal ions which are reported to be harmful to human and plant health when the effluents are discharged untreated into the environment. Therefore the need to remove heavy metal ions from industrial effluents before discharging becomes indispensable. The removal /adsorption of lead (II) ion and cadmium (II) ion from their aqueous solution by Cola nitida pod were investigated. The effects of contact time, initial metal ion concentration, initial pH, adsorbent dose and temperature on metal ions removal were studied, in contact time range of 15- 90 minutes, metal ions initial concentration range of 50- 200 mg/l. pH range of 5-8, adsorbent dose range of 0.1- 0.7 g and temperature range of 303-333 K. The equilibrium time was found to be of the order of 60 minutes. Percentage removal of both Pb2+ and Cd2+ from their aqueous solution by the adsorbent (Cola nitida pod) was found to be above 90%. The percentage removal of lead (II) ion and cadmium (II) ion by the test adsorbent was affected by changes in initial metal ion concentration, initial pH, adsorbent dose, and temperature. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms were used to examine the adsorption mechanisms of the metal ions on the test adsorbent, and the adsorption of both Pb2+ and Cd2+ on Cola nitida pod fitted perfectly into the adsorption isotherms. The comparison of correlation coefficients values (R2) of the linearized form of both Langmuir and Freundlich models shows that the Langmuir model yields a better fit for the experimental adsorption equilibrium data and the most appropriate isotherm to describe the equilibrium data for lead and cadmium and hence Langmuir adsorption is recommended for the adsorption studies of Pb2+ and Cd2+. The comparison of correlation coefficients values (R2) of the linearized form of both Langmuir and Freundlich models shows that the Langmuir model yields a better fit for the experimental adsorption equilibrium data and the most appropriate isotherm to describe the equilibrium data for lead and cadmium.

description:
Of Moonshine and Water is a hybrid genre collection comprised of linked series poetry. This collection addresses the sinister nature of domestic and sexual violence in its various forms and disguises, especially as in connection to alcohol and opioid addiction. The opioid crisis is currently having a devastating effect on the United States. This collection explores the ways in which addiction affects the family unit as well as non-familial intimate relationships. The idea of generational trauma is also deconstructed, addressing the question of that which is inherited between generations through nature and through nurture. The juxtaposition of the titular substances of moonshine and water is echoed throughout the individual pieces, which explore the idea of poison versus antidote through effect of trauma on the body and the acknowledgement of seemingly “healing” substances, such as opioid medications, as even more lethal in their obscurity. As a collection, Of Moonshine and Water is intended to contribute to the dialogues of violence and addiction, especially as relative to the evolving experience of American womanhood.

description: This paper starts with a brief historical overview of pairing in nuclei, which fulfills the purpose of properly framing the main subject. This concerns the pairing properties of a realistic shell-model effective interaction which has proved very successful in describing nuclei around doubly magic 132Sn. We focus attention on the two nuclei 134Te and 134Sn with two valence protons and neutrons, respectively. Our study brings out the key role of one particle-one hole excitations in producing a significant difference between proton and neutron pairing in this region.

description: We report on Chandra observations of the bright ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) source in NGC3921. Previous XMM observations reported in the literature show the presence of a bright ULX at a 0.5-10 keV luminosity of 2x10^40 erg/s. Our Chandra observation finds the source at a lower luminosity of ~8x10^39 erg/s, furthermore, we provide a Chandra position of the ULX accurate to 0.7" at 90% confidence. The X-ray variability makes it unlikely that the high luminosity is caused by several separate X-ray sources. In 3 epochs of archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations we find a candidate counterpart to the ULX. There is direct evidence for variability between the two epochs of WFPC2 F814W observations with the observation obtained in 2000 showing a brighter source. Furthermore, converting the 1994 F336W and 2000 F300W WFPC2 and the 2010 F336W WFC3 observations to the Johnson U-band filter assuming a spectral type of O7I we find evidence for a brightening of the U-band light in 2000. Using the higher resolution WFC3 observations the candidate counterpart is resolved into two sources of similar color. We discuss the nature of the ULX and the probable association with the optical counterpart(s). Finally, we investigate a potential new explanation for some (bright) ULXs as the decaying stages of flares caused by the tidal disruption of a star by a recoiled supermassive black hole. However, we find that there should be at most only 1 of such systems within z=0.08.

description: In this mini-review we summarize the progress of Lattice Boltzmann(LB) modeling and simulating compressible flows in our group in recent years. Main contents include (i) Single-Relaxation-Time(SRT) LB model supplemented by additional viscosity, (ii) Multiple-Relaxation-Time(MRT) LB model, and (iii) LB study on hydrodynamic instabilities. The former two belong to improvements of physical modeling and the third belongs to simulation or application. The SRT-LB model supplemented by additional viscosity keeps the original framework of Lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (LBGK). So, it is easier and more convenient for previous SRT-LB users. The MRT-LB is a completely new framework for physical modeling. It significantly extends the range of LB applications. The cost is longer computational time. The developed SRT-LB and MRT-LB are complementary from the sides of convenience and applicability.

Workflow of miRDM-rfGA for biomarker discovery of optimal miRNA to classify T2DM and HC. (A) In the initial population, We generated 1000 individuals, and features in each individual are mapped to 1139 miRNA indices. miRDM-rfGA randomly select features among 1139 miRNA. (B) Fitness score is calculated for each individual based on AUROC score from RF classifier, then (C) miRDM-rfGA chooses the individual with the highest fitness score. The individual is included in the next generation and the other individuals are produced for next generation. Crossover and mutation are applied during the production of new individuals. (D) miRDM-rfGA iterates these phases for the number of generation G and derives the best individual among G generations. Fig. S3. Difference of the selected miRNA biomarkers expression levels between ‘diabetic nephropathy with type 2 diabetes’ (T2DN) and HC group. We obtained a publicly available miRNA expression dataset (GEO accession: GSE51674) to inspect the possibility of prediction of the risk of diabetic complications. We compared the selected miRNA expression levels between T2DN and HC groups.

description: This study was based on current efforts and breakthroughs in customising nano-scale structures of nanostructured conducting polymer materials to improve electrical characteristics, as given in the reviews. The goal of this research is to investigate the a.c electrical response of a PANI/FeNP/Graphene composite made in-situ with adhathodavasica plant extract in an ice-cold bath. Techniques such as FT-IR and SEM were used to characterise the samples. The AC conductivity measurements were performed in the frequency range 5x101–5x106 Hz at 298K with an HIOKI 3532-50 LCR Hi-tester. The layered structure of graphene nanosheets in the composite is depicted in SEM photographs. The homogeneous distribution of iron nanoparticles throughout the PANI matrix, as well as imine stretching frequency, are attributes of IR spectral data. The investigation of a.c conductivity provides evidence for the composites' transport properties. With a stepwise increase in graphene content in the PANI/FeNP/Graphene composites, AC conductivity values increase.

description: Anatomical and functional brain studies have converged to the hypothesis that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are associated with atypical connectivity. Using a modified resting-state paradigm to drive subjects' attention, we provide evidence of a very marked interaction between ASD brain functional connectivity and cognitive state. We show that functional connectivity changes in opposite ways in ASD and typicals as attention shifts from external world towards one's body generated information. Furthermore, ASD subject alter more markedly than typicals their connectivity across cognitive states. Using differences in brain connectivity across conditions, we classified ASD subjects at a performance around 80% while classification based on the connectivity patterns in any given cognitive state were close to chance. Connectivity between the Anterior Insula and dorsal-anterior Cingulate Cortex showed the highest classification accuracy and its strength increased with ASD severity. These results pave the path for diagnosis of mental pathologies based on functional brain networks obtained from a library of mental states.

description: Here we present the first method for tracking each leg of a fruit fly behaving spontaneously upon a trackball, in real time. Legs were tracked with infrared-fluorescent dye invisible to the fly, and compatible with two-photon microscopy and controlled visual stimuli. We developed machine learning classifiers to identify instances of numerous behavioral features (e.g. walking, turning, grooming) thus producing the highest resolution ethological profiles for individual flies.
