Microbial fuel cells powering electronic devices
Creators: name: Dewan, Mohammad Abdul Alim
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Microbial fuel cells

description: The objective of this dissertation was to develop a microbial fuel cell energy generation system and use it for powering electronic devices monitoring environment in remote areas. The first part of the dissertation was focused on improving the power generation of the MFCs. This included scaling up microbial fuel cells for higher power generation, developing a new energy harvesting method to optimize power generation, and developing a performance evaluation method to test the performance of the MFCs while powering electronic devices. It was found that the power generation in MFCs does not increase linearly with the geometric surface area of the electrode and the relationship is logarithmic. The intermittent energy harvesting is beneficial for optimizing the energy generation from the MFCs. The developed method for evaluating the performance of MFCs could optimize the design and operating conditions of the MFCs and the sensors. The second part of the dissertation was focused on applying the MFCs for powering remote electronic devices. Using sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) we successfully powered wireless sensors in the Palouse River area, Pullman, WA. The SMFCs were operated with microbial anodes and cathodes and the sensors were operated with the help of custom-designed electronics. In addition to work on developing MFCs for powering remote electronic devices, a review on electrochemically active biofilms was presented and an education module based on microbial fuel cells was developed. The review revealed that understanding electron transfer processes is still the bottleneck for the progress in microbial fuel cell applications. The education module was found effective for teaching multidisciplinary concepts to chemical engineering students. Overall, it was concluded that microbial fuel cells with appropriately designed electrodes, energy harvesting strategy, and power management system can be used to power electronic devices, especially sensors in remote areas.

description: Few-shot learning (FSL), purposing to resolve the problem of data-scarce, has attracted considerable attention in recent years. A popular FSL framework contains two phases: (i) the pre-train phase employs the base data to train a CNN-based feature extractor. (ii) the meta-test phase applies the frozen feature extractor to novel data (novel data has different categories from base data) and designs a classifier for recognition. To correct few-shot data distribution, researchers propose Semi-Supervised Few-Shot Learning (SSFSL) by introducing unlabeled data. Although SSFSL has been proved to achieve outstanding performances in the FSL community, there still exists a fundamental problem: the pre-trained feature extractor can not adapt to the novel data flawlessly due to the cross-category setting. Usually, large amounts of noises are introduced to the novel feature. We dub it as Feature-Extractor-Maladaptive (FEM) problem. To tackle FEM, we make two efforts in this paper. First, we propose a novel label prediction method, Isolated Graph Learning (IGL). IGL introduces the Laplacian operator to encode the raw data to graph space, which helps reduce the dependence on features when classifying, and then project graph representation to label space for prediction. The key point is that: IGL can weaken the negative influence of noise from the feature representation perspective, and is also flexible to independently complete training and testing procedures, which is suitable for SSFSL. Second, we propose Graph Co-Training (GCT) to tackle this challenge from a multi-modal fusion perspective by extending the proposed IGL to the co-training framework. GCT is a semi-supervised method that exploits the unlabeled samples with two modal features to crossly strengthen the IGL classifier.
On the Connection Between the Charged and Neutral Pion-Nucleon Coupling Constants in the Yukawa Model

description: In the Yukawa model for nuclear forces, a simple relation between the charged and neutral pion-nucleon coupling constants is derived. The relation implies that the charged pion-nucleon coupling constant is larger than the neutral one since the np interaction is stronger than the pp interaction. The derived value of the charged pion-nucleon constant shows a very good agreement with one of the recent experimental values. The relative splitting between the charged and neutral pion-nucleon coupling constants is predicted to be practically the same as that between the charged and neutral pion masses. The charge dependence of the NN scattering length arising from the mass difference between the charged and neutral pions is also analyzed.

description: Urban areas generally have higher levels of air pollutants than rural or remote areas. People living in these urban communities have higher risks of suffering from diseases linked to these air pollutants. In 2001, the United States Environmental Protection Agency conducted an Urban Air Toxics Pilot Study at various monitoring sites across the country. Seattle, the largest city in the state of Washington, was selected as one of four urban areas to participate in the study. The 2001 study established a network of monitoring sites that provided baseline concentrations of hazardous air pollutants including benzene, 1,3-butadiene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde. The Washington State University Laboratory for Atmospheric Research, in cooperation with the Washington Department of Ecology, began measuring air toxics at Beacon Hill and Georgetown sites in Seattle in 2000 with collection of 24-hour integrated samples every sixth day through the EPA Pilot Study. The network was expanded to six sampling sites in 2001 with the same sampling frequency. Of the six sites, the Beacon Hill sampling station has a continuous record of hazardous VOC concentrations for the period 2000 to 2005. The first part of this research was aimed at characterizing the spatial and temporal trends in the ambient air concentrations of these hazardous air pollutants in Seattle, Washington. Statistical analysis showed that benzene, chloroform, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene and acetaldehyde concentrations exhibited significant spatial variability while only temporal variability was observed for 1,3-butadiene and formaldehyde concentrations. A 67% reduction in ambient benzene levels observed in 2005 relative to the 2000 levels provided the motivation for further characterization of mobile source hazardous VOCs. The ambient levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes, which are primarily from mobile sources, were linked to various control programs implemented in Seattle. Elevated chloroform levels observed at sites close to water reservoirs prompted us to quantify the chloroform emissions from water reservoirs, which were found to be about 335 lb/yr. It is hoped that this study will provide baseline data and tools to evaluate the success or failure of current and future control programs in the Seattle area.

description: Aims. To understand the roles of infall and protostellar evolution on the envelopes of massive young stellar objects (YSOs). Methods. The chemical evolution of gas and dust is traced, including infall and realistic source evolution. The temperatures are determined self-consistently. Both ad/desorption of ices using recent laboratory temperature-programmed-desorption measurements are included. Results. The observed water abundance jump near 100 K is reproduced by an evaporation front which moves outward as the luminosity increases. Ion-molecule reactions produce water below 100 K. The age of the source is constrained to t \~ 8 +/- 4 x 10^4 yrs since YSO formation. It is shown that the chemical age-dating of hot cores at ~ few x 10^3 - 10^4 yr and the disappearance of hot cores on a timescale of ~ 10^5 yr is a natural consequence of infall in a dynamic envelope and protostellar evolution. Dynamical structures of ~ 350AU such as disks should contain most of the complex second generation species. The assumed order of desorption kinetics does not affect these results.

description: Abstract :

The study aims to comprehensively investigate the consumer profile of fresh chicken in Jakarta, with a special focus on processed noodle restaurants, especially ramen and bakmi restaurants as the main customers in business-to-business (B2B) transactions. This research is expected to serve as a basis for further analysis on how supply companies, especially the fresh chicken industry, can explore consumer preferences, purchasing behavior, motivational factors, and challenges faced in obtaining and using fresh chicken, especially in the DKI Jakarta province. The research was conducted using a survey method with a sampling technique using purposive purposive sampling with predetermined criteria of noodle processed restaurant managers. Farmers who were used as respondents amounted to 100 respondents. The analysis method used is descriptive with mode measurement or the most frequently occurring value. The results showed that the managers of processed noodle restaurants in Jakarta province are mostly in the age group of 26-35 years with 61% (61 people), 64% (64 people) have a Bachelor’s degree. Most respondents have more than 3 years of work experience, namely 52% (52 people). The majority of the location distribution of processed noodle restaurants in DKI Jakarta province is in the city of South Jakarta (34%) and the majority of restaurants have an average number of workers between 10-20 people per outlet (83%), while 79% of restaurants have chicken meat needs between 10-20 kg.

description: We present one dimensional potentials $V(x)= V_0[e^{2|x|/a}-1]$ as solvable models of a well $(V_0>0)$ and a barrier ($V_0<0$). Apart from being new addition to solvable models, these models are instructive for finding bound and scattering states from the analytic solutions of Schr{ö}dinger equation. The exact analytic (semi-classical and quantal) forms for bound states of the well and reflection/transmission $(R/T)$ co-efficients for the barrier have been derived. Interestingly, the crossover energy $E_c$ where $R(E_c)=1/2=T(E_c)$ may occur below/above or at the barrier-top. A connection between poles of these co-efficients and bound state eigenvalues of the well has also been demonstrated.

description: Long-horizon dexterous robot manipulation of deformable objects, such as banana peeling, is a problematic task because of the difficulties in object modeling and a lack of knowledge about stable and dexterous manipulation skills. This paper presents a goal-conditioned dual-action (GC-DA) deep imitation learning (DIL) approach that can learn dexterous manipulation skills using human demonstration data. Previous DIL methods map the current sensory input and reactive action, which often fails because of compounding errors in imitation learning caused by the recurrent computation of actions. The method predicts reactive action only when the precise manipulation of the target object is required (local action) and generates the entire trajectory when precise manipulation is not required (global action). This dual-action formulation effectively prevents compounding error in the imitation learning using the trajectory-based global action while responding to unexpected changes in the target object during the reactive local action. The proposed method was tested in a real dual-arm robot and successfully accomplished the banana-peeling task.

Essays on economics of invasive species outbreaks and spatial information theoretic estimation

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Introduced organisms -- Economic aspects

description: Invasive species are non-indigenous species that invade and adversely affect their adopted environment. Their outbreaks cause economic damage and raise concerns among consumers and producers of the affected commodities. Governments provide inspection services to prevent introduction of invasive species and enforce eradication policies in the event of an outbreak. This research shows why mitigation of invasive species outbreaks is difficult and provides policy recommendations on how to design optimal mitigation programs. Two theoretical models of preventative and eradication decisions are presented and applied to livestock disease outbreaks. Additionally, an alternative spatial econometric procedure for the first-order spatial autoregressive model is proposed. The first paper analyzes preventative decisions across countries and shows that spatial spillovers undermine the success of national mitigation programs. A spatial game theoretic framework is applied to compare preventative decisions under the centralized and decentralized decision models. The results show that in the presence of spatial spillovers, the probability of an outbreak is smaller and the expected payoffs are greater under the centralized model. Regional cooperation and monetary transfers could be required to achieve a socially optimal outcome. The model is applied to investigate the epidemics of foot-and-mouth disease in South America. The second paper analyzes eradication decisions for a single country and proposes an optimal control model under uncertainty of a potential entry and spread of foot-and-mouth disease in the livestock sector. Dynamic livestock production, disease dissemination, domestic beef consumption, and international trade are explicitly integrated. Intertemporal welfare estimates are used to evaluate alternative eradication policies. The model is applied to analyze the disease outbreak in Canada, where it is found that the total welfare losses from an outbreak decrease as eradication efforts increase. The third paper proposes an alternative spatial econometric procedure for the first-order spatial autoregressive model. Extensive Monte Carlo experiments are used to compare traditional and three information theoretic estimators. It is found that information theoretic estimators are robust to the specification of spatial autocorrelation and outperform traditional moment based estimators in specific finite sample situations.

description: Renyi Mutual information (RMI), computed from second Renyi entropies, can identify classical phase transitions from their finite-size scaling at the critical points. We apply this technique to examine the presence or absence of finite temperature phase transitions in various two-dimensional models on a square lattice, which are extensions of the conventional Ising model by adding a quenched disorder. When the quenched disorder causes the nearest neighbor bonds to be both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic, (a) a spin glass phase exists only at zero temperature, and (b) a ferromagnetic phase exists at a finite temperature when the antiferromagnetic bond distributions are sufficiently dilute. Furthermore, finite temperature paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transitions can also occur when the disordered bonds involve only ferromagnetic couplings of random strengths. In our numerical simulations, the "zero temperature only" phase transitions are identified when there is no consistent finite-size scaling of the RMI curves, while for finite temperature critical points, the curves can identify the critical temperature $T_c$ by their crossings at $T_c$ and $2\, T_c $.

Intellectual Myopia (The 'almost' Reversed  Dunning-Kruger Effect)
Creators: name: Riedel, Bjørn Leon Søren
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Modern philosophy

description: The hypothesis of Intellectual Myopia (termed the "almost" reversed Dunning-Kruger Effect) explores how experts, due to their deep specialization and reinforced confidence within their fields, may overextend their certainty to unrelated domains where they lack expertise. This cognitive bias leads to a form of myopia, where experts fail to recognize their limitations outside their core competencies. The theory draws support from Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm constraints, Kahneman and Tversky’s work on cognitive biases, and Lars Svendsen’s critiques of over-specialization, while contrasting with the Dunning-Kruger effect’s focus on novice overconfidence. By highlighting the risks of expertise-driven overconfidence, the theory calls for greater self-awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration to mitigate intellectual blind spots.

description: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multipurpose neutrino experiment, which plans to take about 2PB raw data each year starting from 2021. The experiment data plans to be stored in IHEP and have another copy in Europe (CNAF, IN2P3, JINR data centers). MC simulation tasks are expected to be arranged and operated through a distributed computing system to share efforts among data centers. The paper will present the design of the JUNO distributed computing system based on DIRAC to meet the requirements of the JUNO workflow and dataflow among data centers according to the JUNO computing model. The production system to seamlessly manage the JUNO MC simulation workflow and dataflow together is designed within the DIRAC transformation framework, in which data flows among data centers for production groups are managed based on the DIRAC data management infrastructure which uses DFC as File Catalogue, request manager to interface with FTS and transformation system to manage a bundle of files. The muon simulation with optical photon which has huge memory and CPU time problems would be the most challenging part. Therefore, multicore supports and GPU federation are considered in the system to meet this challenge. The function and performance tests to evaluate the prototype system would be also presented in the paper.

description: Transit photometry of the M8V dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (2MASS J23062928-0502285) has revealed the presence of at least seven planets with masses and radii similar to that of Earth orbiting at distances that might allow liquid water to be present on their surfaces. We have been following TRAPPIST-1 since 2011 with the CAPSCam astrometric camera on the 2.5-m du Pont telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. In 2016 we noted that TRAPPIST-1 lies slightly farther away than previously thought, at 12.49 pc, rather than 12.1 pc. Here we examine fifteen epochs of CAPSCam observations of TRAPPIST-1, spanning the five years from 2011 to 2016, and obtain a revised trigonometric distance of $12.56 \pm 0.12$ pc. The astrometric data analysis pipeline shows no evidence for a long-period astrometric wobble of TRAPPIST-1. After proper motion and parallax are removed, residuals at the level of $\pm 1.3$ millarcsec (mas) remain. The amplitude of these residuals constrains the masses of any long-period gas giant planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system: no planet more massive than $\sim 4.6 M_{Jup}$ orbits with a 1 yr period, and no planet more massive than $\sim 1.6 M_{Jup}$ orbits with a 5 yr period. Further refinement of the CAPSCam data analysis pipeline, combined with continued CAPSCam observations, should either detect any long-period planets, or put an even tighter constraint on these mass upper limits.

description: We derive upper and lower bounds for the Assouad and lower dimensions of self-affine measures in $\mathbb{R}^d$ generated by diagonal matrices and satisfying suitable separation conditions. The upper and lower bounds always coincide for $d=2,3$ yielding precise explicit formulae for the dimensions. Moreover, there are easy to check conditions guaranteeing that the bounds coincide for $d \geq 4$.
 An interesting consequence of our results is that there can be a `dimension gap' for such self-affine constructions, even in the plane. That is, we show that for some self-affine carpets of `Barański type' the Assouad dimension of all associated self-affine measures strictly exceeds the Assouad dimension of the carpet by some fixed $δ>0$ depending only on the carpet. We also provide examples of self-affine carpets of `Barański type' where there is no dimension gap and in fact the Assouad dimension of the carpet is equal to the Assouad dimension of a carefully chosen self-affine measure.

description: We present a method to project time-bin qutrits stored in an echo-based quantum memory using several successive partial readouts of the memory. We demonstrate how this scheme can be used to implement projections onto a full set of mutually unbiased bases and, therefore, enables the characterization of arbitrary quantum states. Further, we study the integration of this protocol for the case of atomic frequency comb spin-wave storage by simulating the full storage process and performing a storage experiment with bright time-bin pulses in $^{151}$Eu$^{3+}$:Y$_2$SiO$_5$. In this context, a compound pulse for implementing partial readouts in quick succession is introduced and characterized.

description: We experimentally characterize the impact response of concentrated suspensions of cornstarch and water. We hypothesize that the dynamically jammed region that propagates ahead of the impactor is responsible for the strong stress response to impact when it spans between solid boundaries. Using surface imaging and particle tracking at the boundary opposite the impactor, we observed that a visible structure and particle flow at the boundary occur with a delay after impact. We show the delay time is about the same time as the the strong stress response, confirming that the strong stress response results from deformation of the dynamically jammed structure once it spans between the impactor and a solid boundary. A characterization of this strong stress response is reported in a companion paper (arXiv:1407.0719). We also elaborate on the structure of the dynamically jammed region once it spans from the impactor to a solid boundary. We observed particle flow in the outer part of the dynamically jammed region at the bottom boundary, with a net transverse displacement of up to about 5\% of the impactor displacement, indicating shear at the boundary. Direct imaging of the surface of the outer part of the dynamically jammed region reveals a change in surface structure that appears the same as the result of dilation in other cornstarch suspensions. Imaging also reveals cracks, like a brittle solid. These observations suggest the dynamically jammed structure can temporarily support stress according to an effective modulus, like a soil or dense granular material, along a network of frictional contacts between the impactor and solid boundary.

description: Partial wave analysis is an important tool in hadron physics. Large data sets from the experiments in high precision frontier require high computational power. To utilize GPU cluster and the resource of supercomputers with various types of the accelerator, we implement a software framework for partial wave analysis using OpenAcc, OpenAccPWA. OpenAccPWA provides convenient approaches for exposing parallelism in the code and excellent support for a large amount of existing CPU-based codes of partial wave amplitudes. It can avoid a heavy workload of code migration from CPU to GPU. This poster will briefly introduce the software framework and performance of OpenAccPWA.

We also give a geometric (categorical) description of Lusztig's bijection between two-sided cells in an affine Weyl group, and unipotent conjugacy classes in the Langlands dual group. The main tool is the sheaf-theoretic construction of the center of the affine Hecke algebra due to Gaitsgory (based on ideas of Beilinson and Kottwitz), see math.AG/9912074.

description: We use orthogonally polarized two-colour (OTC) laser pulses to separate quantum paths in multiphoton ionization of Ar atoms. Our OTC pulses consist of 400~nm and 800~nm light at a relative intensity ratio of 10:1. We find a hitherto unobserved interference in the photoelectron momentum distribution, which exhibits a strong dependence on the relative phase of the OTC pulse. Analysis of model calculations reveal that the interference is caused by quantum pathways from non-adjacent quarter cycles.
Level-1 track finding with an all-FPGA system at CMS for the HL-LHC
Creators: name: James, Thomas Owen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The CMS experiment at the LHC is designed to study a wide range of high energy physics phenomena. It employs a large all-silicon tracker within a 3.8 T magnetic solenoid, which allows precise measurements of transverse momentum (pT) and vertex position. This tracking detector will be upgraded to coincide with the installation of the High-Luminosity LHC, which will provide up to about 10^35 cm^2 /s to CMS, or 200 collisions per 25 ns bunch crossing. This new tracker must maintain the nominal physics performance in this more challenging environment. Novel tracking modules that utilise closely spaced silicon sensors to discriminate on track pT have been developed that would allow the readout of only hits compatible with pT > 2-3 GeV tracks to off-detector trigger electronics. This would allow the use of tracking information at the Level-1 trigger of the experiment, a requirement to keep the Level-1 triggering rate below the 750 kHz target, while maintaining physics sensitivity. This talk presents the concept for an all FPGA based track finder using a time-multiplexed architecture. Hardware demonstrators running a selection of algorithms in real-time have been assembled to prove the feasibility and capability of such a system. The performance for a variety of physics scenarios will be presented, as well as the work to scale the demonstrators to the final system, and exploit new technologies.

Subjects: Cryptoexplosion structures -- Texas -- Pecos County

description: The Sierra Madera impact structure is a 12.9 km diameter, well-eroded remnant of a complex impact crater located in West Texas. The crater was last studied in the early 1970's and is an excellent site for deformation and timing studies using modern research techniques. In this dissertation, Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the Sierra Madera structure including previous geologic research regarding the crater, stratigraphy and structure/crater formation. Chapter 2 lists deformational features documented within the central uplift of the crater and assigns temperature and shock pressure values to the conditions of crater formation. Chapter 3 details the use of X-ray diffraction as a possible method to determine shocked rocks from terrestrially deformed rocks. Chapter 4 documents the use of the fission-track method to assign a radiometric age to the impact event. Chapter 5 is a field guide for the impact crater.

description: We extract parameters relevant for distinguishing among single-field inflation models from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) three-year data set, and also from WMAP in combination with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxy power spectrum. Our analysis leads to the following conclusions: 1) the Harrison--Zel'dovich model is consistent with both data sets at a 95% confidence level; 2) there is no strong evidence for running of the spectral index of scalar perturbations; 3) Potentials of the form V \propto ϕ^p are consistent with the data for p = 2, and are marginally consistent with the WMAP data considered alone for p = 4, but ruled out by WMAP combined with SDSS. We perform a "Monte Carlo reconstruction" of the inflationary potential, and find that: 1) there is no evidence to support an observational lower bound on the amplitude of gravitational waves produced during inflation; 2) models such as simple hybrid potentials which evolve toward an inflationary late-time attractor in the space of flow parameters are strongly disfavored by the data, 3) models selected with even a weak slow-roll prior strongly cluster in the region favoring a "red" power spectrum and no running of the spectral index, consistent with simple single-field inflation models.

Non-uniform EWMA-PCA based cache size allocation scheme in Named Data Networks

Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)

description: As a data-centric cache-enabled architecture, Named Data Networking (NDN) is considered to be an appropriate alternative to the current host-centric IP-based Internet infrastructure. Leveraging in-network caching, name-based routing, and receiver-driven sessions, NDN can greatly enhance the way Internet resources are being used. A critical issue in NDN is the procedure of cache allocation and management. Our main contribution in this research is the analysis of memory requirements to allocate suitable Content-Store size to NDN routers, with respect to combined impacts of long-term centrality-based metric and Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) of short-term parameters such as users behaviors and outgoing traffic. To determine correlations in such large data sets, data mining methods can prove valuable to researchers. In this paper, we apply a data-fusion approach, namely Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to discover relations from short- and long-term parameters of the router. The output of PCA, exploited to mine out raw data sets, is used to allocate a proper cache size to the router. Evaluation results show an increase in the hit ratio of Content-Stores in sources, and NDN routers. Moreover, for the proposed cache size allocation scheme, the number of unsatisfied and pending Interests in NDN routers is smaller than the Degree-Centrality cache size scheme.

description: The rapid expansion of drug courts throughout the United States ultimately has introduced a new approach to justice. They represent a change from the traditional juvenile court by having a team of professionals making decisions that are theoretic in nature with the goal of reducing the problems associated with juvenile crime and adolescent drug abuse. This study attempts to enhance the understanding of the effectiveness of a juvenile drug court by examining the decision-making process of a juvenile drug court team in the Northwest region of the United States. A process evaluation was conducted during its first year of implementation. Behavioral characteristics as they pertain to how the courtroom workgroup's team operated was observed and recorded, along with the team's outcome decisions to sanction, treat, or reward program participants. This study found that this juvenile drug court's approach to justice is normative, and one in which the courtroom workgroup interacted in a non-adversarial, collaborative and cooperative manner. Formality, Activeness, Reasonableness, and Talkativeness were the operational styles that had a significant influence on how the team sanctioned, treated, and rewarded the participants. This study also examined the demographic variables of gender, race and age of the JDC participants related to the outcome decisions. Statistically significant relationships were found between sanctions and race and sanctions and age. Non-whites were more likely to be sanctioned at the highest levels when sanctions were administered, and as the participants increased in age, they were less likely to be sanctioned. Policy implications and future research related to these findings are discussed.

Development of a targeted non-viral gene delivery system for cancer gene therapy

Subjects: Genetic Therapy

description: The clinical application of gene therapy is hampered by the lack of a gene delivery system that can efficiently deliver therapeutic genes to the target cells without eliciting serious immune response and toxicity. In this research, an amino acid based targeted gene delivery system has been described which is able to overcome multiple intracellular barriers for efficient and targeted gene delivery in vitro and in vivo. The first chapter is a review over literature serving as background information. In this section, the advantages and disadvantages of both viral and non-viral gene delivery systems are highlighted with emphasis on the application of biological motifs in gene delivery system design. In the second chapter, the development an amino acid based HER-2 targeted non-viral vector, namely GHT, is described. This vector is composed of several biological motifs with diverse functions for efficient and targeted gene delivery. A series of in vitro biochemical and biological assays were performed to evaluate the functionality of the vector. The results revealed that the biological functions of different motifs in the vector structure were well preserved and the vector facilitated the selective and efficient delivery of plasmid DNA to SKOV-3 cells for expression. In the third chapter, the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of the HER-2 targeted vector was evaluated. A thymidine kinase suicide gene mutant was used as a model gene for this purpose. A cytotoxicity assay was performed to show that there was no vector-related cytotoxicity. Cell killing and clonogenic assays were conducted on SKOV-3 cells to examine the acute and chronic toxicity of GHT/pTK-SR39 system. The results showed that GHT/pTK-SR39 complexes in combination with GCV can kill up to 82% of SKOV-3 cells in vitro and 90% of the cells that survived lost their ability to proliferate and form colonies. The in vivo studies demonstrated that the GHT/pTK-SR39 complexes can significantly reduce tumor size when used in combination with GCV.
