Assessment of the Dentin Bond Strength Values of Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Restorative Material using Different In Vitro Test Methods
Creators: name: Kensara, Anmar
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Objective: To assess whether the in vitro dentin bond strength values of a resin-modified glass ionomer restorative material (RMGI) are affected by different in vitro test methods. Methods: Mid-depth occlusal dentin of 36-extracted human third molars free of defects was exposed and finished with wet 600-grit silicon carbide paper for 10s. A commercially-available RMGI (Fuji II LC, GC America) was applied to all specimens according to manufacturer’s instructions, after which specimens were stored in 100% humidity at 37 °C for 24 h. Specimens were then randomly divided into three different test groups (n=12): shear bond strength (SBS), microtensile bond strength (µTBS), and four-point bending bond strength (4PBBS). Specimens were loaded to failure using universal testing machines and test-specific parameters: Instron for SBS and 4PBBS tests, EZ-Test for the µTBS test. The mode of bond failure (adhesive, cohesive or mixed) was qualitatively assessed with optical stereomicroscopy. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and descriptive statistics. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between bond strength values for the different test methods (p<0.05). The mean bond strength values (± SD, in MPa) were 15.7 (±7.1) for SBS, 9.7 (±5.3) for µTBS and 37.3 (±12.8) for 4PBBS. With respect to the mode of failure, most SBS failures were adhesive in nature (83%), while the majority of µTBS and 4PBBS failures were mixed (69% and 47% respectively). Several µTBS and 4PBBS specimens failed during processing (before testing). Conclusion: The in vitro dentin bond strength values of a resin-modified glass ionomer material are greatly affected by the test method. The mode of bond failure is also affected by test method. The SBS test method demonstrated the highest percentage of adhesive failure and proved to be less technique sensitive. The majority of µTBS and 4PBBS failures were mixed. Use of the µTBS and 4PBBS may not be optimal laboratory test methods for comparison of the relative bond strength of RMGI materials to dentin. Use of the SBS test may allow more controlled comparison of the adhesive dentin bond among various RMGI formulations, whether already commercially available or under development.

description: This study is part of a project to determine if people believe the same set of individuals can constitute two non-identical groups. One might think this is possible because people understand groups as abstract entities (like ‘justice’ and ‘the number five’) rather than concrete ones (like ‘dog’ and ‘chair’). However, we argue that groups realize social structures: e.g., a football team exists when individuals occupy the role of quarterback, running back, etc. Therefore, social groups are concrete entities. Individuals can occupy multiple roles, and so a set of individuals can realize two or more social structures simultaneously. We predict that individuals will judge that groups are concrete entities. In this study, we examine whether participants represent groups as concrete or abstract. To do so, we asked participants to judge whether questions apply to various entities. The questions, which assessed location / size, are relevant to concrete entities but not to abstract ones. If participants think these questions apply to groups, they think groups are concrete.

The Role of NMDA Receptors in the Dorsal Hippocampus in Cocaine-Paired Contextual Memory Reconsolidation

description: Relapse to drug-seeking behaviors is thought to enduring in addiction because of the resilient association between the rewarding properties of the drug and the context in which the drug is used. Exposure to a cocaine-paired context increases the probability of relapse in humans and leads to cocaine-seeking behavior in rats. The theory of memory reconsolidation postulates that memory traces, when recalled, become labile and need to be re-stabilized into long-term memory. This process is referred to as memory reconsolidation. If memory restabilization is disrupted, the memory can be weakened. Previous research indicates that the dorsal hippocampus (DH) is integral for the reconsolidation of context-drug associated memories. The DH is abundant in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors that are important for learning and memory and may play a role in cocaine-related contextual memory reconsolidation. To test this hypothesis, rats were trained to self-administer cocaine in a distinct environmental context followed by extinction training in a different context. Rats were then re-exposed to the cocaine-paired context to reactivate the cocaine-paired contextual memory and received intra-DH administration of the NMDA receptor antagonist, D-APV, or vehicle, immediately after this session. After two additional days of extinction training, 72 hours after intracranial manipulation, reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behaviors was assessed in the previously cocaine-paired context. APV administered into the DH inhibited subsequent cocaine-seeking behavior in a memory reactivation-dependent manner. These findings indicate that NMDA receptor stimulation in the DH is integral for the reconsolidation of associative memories that are required for context-induced cocaine-seeking behavior.
Dynamical magnetoelectric phenomena of multiferroic skyrmions

description: Magnetic skyrmions, vortex-like swirling spin textures characterized by a quantized topological invariant, realized in chiral-lattice magnets are currently attracting intense research interest. In particular, their dynamics under external fields is an issue of vital importance both for fundamental science and for technical application. Whereas observations of magnetic skyrmions had been limited to metallic magnets so far, their realization was discovered also in a chiral-lattice insulating magnet Cu2OSeO3 in 2012. Skyrmions in the insulator turned out to exhibit multiferroic nature with spin-induced ferroelectricity. Strong magnetoelectric coupling between noncollinear skyrmion spins and electric polarizations mediated by relativistic spin-orbit interaction enables us to drive motion and oscillation of magnetic skyrmions by application of electric fields instead of injection of electric currents. Insulating materials also provide an environment suitable for detection of pure spin dynamics through spectroscopic measurements owing to absence of appreciable charge excitations. In this article, we review recent theoretical and experimental studies on multiferroic properties and dynamical magnetoelectric phenomena of magnetic skyrmions in insulators. We argue that multiferroic skyrmions show unique coupled oscillation modes of magnetizations and polarizations, so-called electromagnon excitations, which are both magnetically and electrically active, and interference between the electric and magnetic activation processes leads to peculiar magnetoelectric effects in a microwave frequency regime.

description: The journey from dust particle to planetesimal involves physical processes acting on scales ranging from micrometers (the sticking and restructuring of aggregates) to hundreds of astronomical units (the size of the turbulent protoplanetary nebula). Considering these processes simultaneously is essential when studying planetesimal formation. We develop a novel, global, semi-analytical model for the evolution of the mass-dominating dust particles in a turbulent protoplanetary disk that takes into account the evolution of the dust surface density while preserving the essential characteristics of the porous coagulation process. This panoptic model is used to study the growth from submicron to planetesimal sizes in disks around Sun-like stars. For highly porous ices, unaffected by collisional fragmentation and erosion, rapid growth to planetesimal sizes is possible in a zone stretching out to ${\sim}10\mathrm{~AU}$ for massive disks. When porous coagulation is limited by erosive collisions, the formation of planetesimals through direct coagulation is not possible, but the creation of a large population of aggregates with Stokes numbers close to unity might trigger the streaming instability (SI). However, we find that reaching conditions necessary for SI is difficult and limited to dust-rich disks, (very) cold disks, or disks with weak turbulence. Behind the snow-line, porosity-driven aggregation of icy grains results in rapid (${\sim}10^{4}\mathrm{~yr}$) formation of planetesimals. If erosive collisions prevent this, SI might be triggered for specific disk conditions. The numerical approach introduced in this work is ideally suited for studying planetesimal formation and pebble delivery simultaneously and will help build a coherent picture of the start of the planet formation process.

title: 'Saving' the child in Victorian Dundee
Creators: name: Urquhart, Chrissie
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2005

description: Similar to current disquiet, public anxiety and political debate fuelled concerns amongst the Victorians about juvenile 'delinquency' and child neglect. Contemporary observers argued that it was the drunkenness, ignorance, promiscuity, and irresponsibility of parents which were responsible for the 'gangs' of disorderly and offending children 'swarming' the streets of Victorian towns (Pearson, 1983; Platt, 1969; Shore, 1999). The children of the 'culpable' poor were believed to be at particular risk of drifting into criminality, as not only were they influenced by their unreliable and unworthy parents but they had also inherited all the susceptibilities and propensities of their forebears. What to do with these children became a prominent preoccupation of the era. A group of reformers, many of whom were evangelicals, argued that the salvation of these children could only be achieved through religious- based moral training. (These reformers are characterised by the term 'child savers'). They had a resolute belief in the righteousness of their cause: not only to protect the child from the risk of criminality but also to protect society from the perceived growth in lawlessness. The rhetoric of the 'child savers' was the protection from depravity and corruption of a large group of vulnerable children, but the methods established within the institutions they founded, and the subsequent legislation, sought to correct the behaviour of the culpable poor through the retraining and reforming of their children.

Universal Axial Fluctuations in Optical Tweezers

description: Optical tweezers allow the measurement of fluctuations at the nano-scale, in particular fluctuations in the end-to-end distance in single molecules. Fluctuation spectra can yield valuable information, but they can easily be contaminated by instrumental effects. We identify axial fluctuations, i.e. fluctuations of the trapped beads in the direction of light propagation, as one of these instrumental effects. Remarkably, axial fluctuations occur on a characteristic timescale similar to that of conformational (folding) transitions, which may lead to misinterpretation of the experimental results. We show that a precise measurement of the effect of force on both axial and conformational fluctuations is crucial to disentangle them. Our results on axial fluctuations are captured by a simple and general formula valid for all optical tweezers setups and provide experimentalists with a general strategy to distinguish axial fluctuations from conformational transitions.

description: Context. The Sun shows an activity cycle that is caused by its varying global magnetic field. During a solar cycle, sunspots, i.e. extended regions of strong magnetic fields, occur in activity belts that are slowly migrating from middle to lower latitudes, finally arriving close to the equator during the cycle maximum phase. While this have been well known for centuries, much less is known about the solar cycle evolution of small-scale magnetic fields. Aims. To address this question, we study magnetic bright points (MBPs) as proxies for such small-scale, kG solar magnetic fields. This study is based on a homogeneous data set that covers a period of eight years. Methods. An automated MBP identification algorithm was applied to the synoptic Hinode/SOT G-band data over the period November 2006 to August 2014, i.e. covering the decreasing phase of Cycle 23 and the rise, maximum, and early decrease of Cycle 24. This data set includes, at the moment of investigation, a total of 4 162 images, with about 2.9 million single MBP detections. Results. After a careful preselection and monthly median filtering of the data, the investigation revealed that the number of MBPs close to the equator is coupled to the global solar cycle but shifted in time by about 2.5 years. Furthermore, the instantaneous number of detected MBPs depends on the hemisphere, with one hemisphere being more prominent, i.e. showing a higher number of MBPs. After the end of Cycle 23 and at the starting point of Cycle 24, the more active hemisphere changed from south to north. Conclusions. These findings suggest that there is indeed a coupling between the activity of MBPs close to the equator with the global magnetic field. The results also indicate that a significant fraction of the magnetic flux that is visible as MBPs close to the equator originates from the sunspot activity belts.

The colonial state and the construction of social deviance in Cuba, 1828-1865
Creators: name: Hynson, Rachel M.

Year: 2009

description: In the late-eighteenth century, institutionalization came to represent one aspect of progress and modernity. But it is also true that while recognized as a social problem, the practice of the cure conformed to the prevailing social paradigms of nineteenth-century Cuba. The Casa de Dementes, the asylum founded in 1857, served as a place of confinement for the mentally ill, as well as for vagrants and free people of color to the asylum. By institutionalizing people classified as sane alongside those diagnosed as mentally ill, asylum administrators revised the accepted understanding of insanity as solely a mental condition. The arrival of psychiatrist José Joaquín Muñoz to Havana in 1863 further illustrated progress and the development of psychiatry in Cuba. Over time, the Casa de Dementes served to symbolize either the progress or decline of Cuban society. Indeed, scholars and physicians celebrated the asylum as an indicator of both societal progress and cultural stagnation.

TO SERVE AND PROTECT: DOES SELLING ALCOHOL AT INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOTBALL STADIUMS EQUATE TO HIGHER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY?
Creators: name: Bane, Archer

description: College football game days are associated with high levels of alcohol consumption and increased criminal activity. Currently, 34 NCAA Division I schools sell alcohol throughout their entire football venue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of alcohol sales within college football stadiums on deviant behaviors by patrons on a national level. This was achieved by comparing collegiate football game days in which alcohol is sold at on-campus football venues and non-game days on campus as well as game day criminal and alcohol related statistics for before and after the decision to sell alcohol was made. The significant findings suggest that criminal offenses and alcohol related incidents are higher on game days in comparison to non-game days.

description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer incidence. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~85% of cases; the main sub-classifications being lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). The tumour microenvironment (TME) plays a key role in NSCLC development and therapeutic response. NSCLC outcomes have significantly improved through the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that target the PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint axis. However, not all patients respond and therefore there is interest in understanding mechanisms of resistance to allow patient stratification and develop novel combinations that may improve ICI efficacy. Chemo-cytokines are small molecules secreted by many cells including immune cells. They are involved in the immune response and affect the TME phenotype and therapeutic response. This PhD aimed to identify chemo-cytokines highly expressed in NSCLC and investigate the role of these in α-PD-1 therapy response. The Cancer Genome Atlas database analysis combined with the Meso Scale Discovery protein assay analysis showed that the cytokine TXLNA and the chemokine CXCL1 were highly expressed in LUAD and LUSC. Their cognate receptors STX3 and CXCR2 were studied further. Multi-immunofluorescence showed high expression of STX3 in mast cells, neutrophils, and epithelial cells. CXCR2 was highly expressed in macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils. Using NSCLC patient derived explants treated with α-PD-1 therapies pembrolizumab and nivolumab, a significant positive correlation was found between the percentage of STX3- expressing neutrophils in LUAD, STX3-expressing mast cells in LUSC and cell death response. A significant negative correlation was found between the percentage of CXCR2-expressing macrophages, neutrophils and cell death response in LUSC. Furthermore, STX3-expressing mast cells and CXCR2-expressing neutrophils were found to migrate to the tumour edge when treated. Our findings propose the TXLNA/STX3 axis and CXCL1/CXCR2 axis could potentially be used as stratification biomarkers and/or combination therapy targets in the treatment of NSCLC with α-PD-1 therapies.

description: The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is crucial for cellular information processing and decision-making. With suitable inputs, PPI networks drive the cells to diverse functional outcomes such as cell proliferation or cell death. Here we characterize the structural controllability of a large directed human PPI network comprised of 6,339 proteins and 34,813 interactions. This allows us to classify proteins as "indispensable", "neutral" or "dispensable", which correlates to increasing, no effect, or decreasing the number of driver nodes in the network upon removal of that protein. We find that 21% of the proteins in the PPI network are indispensable. Interestingly, these indispensable proteins are the primary targets of disease-causing mutations, human viruses, and drugs, suggesting that altering a network's control property is critical for the transition between healthy and disease states. Furthermore, analyzing copy number alterations data from 1,547 cancer patients reveals that 56 genes that are frequently amplified or deleted in nine different cancers are indispensable. Among the 56 genes, 46 of them have not been previously associated with cancer. This suggests that controllability analysis is very useful in identifying novel disease genes and potential drug targets.

Acute nasal dryness in COVID-19

description: One of the entry routes of SARS-CoV-2 is the nasal epithelium. Although mounting evidence suggests the presence of olfactory dysfunction, and even anosmia, in patients with COVID-19, it is not clear whether these patients also suffer from other “nasal” symptoms that may influence their olfaction. A group of 35 patients with COVID-19 (and a control group matched in gender and age) were surveyed about the presence of a variety of nasal symptoms that may be associated to drastic perturbations experienced in the nasal cavity (e.g., “excessive dryness” and/or a continual sensation of having had a “nasal douche”). We used a cross-sectional, retrospective survey, targeted at the general population by means of non-quoted, non-random, snowball sampling. Symptoms were assessed with absence/presence responses. We compared the proportion of occurrence of various possible subjective nasal symptoms between the two groups (COVID-19 patients and control group). The possible association between two continuously distributed latent variables from categorical variables was estimated by means of polychoric correlations. More than 68% of the patients reported at least one “nasal” symptom. The clinical group also experienced “a strange sensation in the nose” and having excessive nasal dryness significantly more often than the control group. Fifty-two percent of the patients (but only 3% of the control group) reported a constant sensation of having had a strong nasal douche. Nasal symptoms predominantly co-occurred with anosmia/hyposmia, and ageusia/hypogeusia, appeared principally before or during the other symptoms of COVID-19, and lasted for twelve days, in average. The presence of these nasal symptoms, and their early occurrence, could potentially facilitate early diagnosis of COVID-19 and initial social distancing efforts.

description: We prove a formula which allows us to recursively compute planar tropical gravitational descendants which involve psi-classes of arbitrary power at marked ends fixed by points and additionally a psi-class of power one at exactly one marked end fixed by a line. Up to now almost exclusively tropical gravitational descendants with psi-classes at marked ends restricted by points had been considered.

description: We consider ultracold neutron (UCN) sources based on a new method of UCN production in superfluid helium (4He). The PIK reactor is chosen as a perspective example of the application of this idea, which consists of installing a 4He UCN source in a beam of thermal or cold neutrons and surrounding the source with a moderator-reflector, which plays the role of a source of cold neutrons (CNs) feeding the UCN source. The CN flux in the source can be several times larger than the incident flux, due to multiple neutron reflections from the moderator-reflector. We show that such a source at the PIK reactor would provide an order of magnitude larger density and production rate than an analogous source at the ILL reactor. We estimate parameters of a 4He source with solid methane (CH4) or/and liquid deuterium (D2) moderator-reflector. We show that such a source with CH4 moderator-reflector at the PIK reactor would provide the UCN density of ~1x10^5 1/cm^3, and the UCN production rate of ~2x10^7 1/s. These values are respectively 1000 and 20 times larger than those for the most intense UCN user source. The UCN density in a source with D2 moderator-reflector would reach the value of ~2x10^5 1/cm^3, and the UCN production rate would be equal ~8x10^7 1/s. Installation of such sources in beams of CNs with equal flux would slightly increase the density and production rate.

description: Fluctuation relations (FRs) are among the few existing general results in non-equilibrium systems. Their verification requires the measurement of the total work (or entropy production) performed on a system. Nevertheless in many cases only a partial measurement of the work is possible. Here we consider FRs in dual-trap optical tweezers where two different forces (one per trap) are measured. With this setup we perform pulling experiments on single molecules by moving one trap relative to the other. We demonstrate that work should be measured using the force exerted by the trap that is moved. The force that is measured in the trap at rest fails to provide the full dissipation in the system leading to a (incorrect) work definition that does not satisfy the FR. The implications to single-molecule experiments and free energy measurements are discussed. In the case of symmetric setups a new work definition, based on differential force measurements, is introduced. This definition is best suited to measure free energies as it shows faster convergence of estimators. We discuss measurements using the (incorrect) work definition as an example of partial work measurement. We show how to infer the full work distribution from the partial one via the FR. The inference process does also yield quantitative information, e.g. the hydrodynamic drag on the dumbbell. Results are also obtained for asymmetric dual-trap setups. We suggest that this kind of inference could represent a new and general application of FRs to extract information about irreversible processes in small systems.
