Study of novel nanoparticle sensors for food pH and water activity
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Food sensors, sensitive to food properties, including temperature, oxygen, moisture content and pH, are used in food processing and other food related fields. Recently, applying sensor technology in the food industry has been further emphasized. Nanoparticles, with diameters of tens to hundreds of nanometers, also have generated considerable interest as sensors because of their small size and related novel characters. In this study, we developed fluorescent sensors for food pH based on nanoparticles and investigated water activity probes.The nanoparticles, fabricated from food grade starch and gelatin with dimensions of ~20-50 nm, were doped with three pH-sensitive probes. Quinine and harmane were non-covalently attached onto starch nanoparticles, while gelatin nanoparticles were covalently labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). The study of labeled nanoparticle sensors in buffer solutions of varying pH’s showed the correlation between pH and emission spectra. Quinine labeled starch nanoparticle (QSNP) sensors exhibited blue shifts of emission spectra as pH increased; the ratio of peak intensity or peak area of emission spectra at two different emission wavelengths also decreased dramatically in the range of pH~3.0-5.0. Harmane labeled starch nanoparticle (HSNP) sensors and FITC labeled gelatin nanoparticle (FGNP) sensors did not present any emission spectra shifts. However, the former’s ratio of peak intensity or peak area increased as pH increased in the range of pH~7.0-9.0; the latter’s decreased as pH increased in the range of pH~2.5-7.5. Moreover, FGNP sensors were applied in different real food products. Comparing actual food pH with calculated sensor pH based on a calibration curve suggested that using FGNP sensors to detect food pH is accurate (~1-5% error). Duplicated fluorescent tests of FGNP sensors also showed good reproducibility. These results support a new methodology of using nanoscopic sensors for the measurement of food pH.Study of water activity was focused on charactering the probes Prodan and Laurdan. Prodan was investigated in different saturated salt solutions and water-glycerol solution systems; Laurdan was investigated only in saturated salt solutions. However, these studies did not show any expected correlation between water activity and emission spectra shifts. Therefore, Prodan and Laurdan may not be good indicators of water activity.

Invariant theory in Cauchy-Riemann geometry and applications to the study of holomorphic mappings
Creators: name: Zhang, Yuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: In this dissertation, proper holomorphic maps between some types of CR manifolds have been studied. For non-degenerate holomorphic Segre maps between Hn and HN , the complexiﬁcations of Heisenberg hypersurfaces, we show that they possess a partialrigidity property when N ≤ 2n − 2. As an application under the same assumption, we prove that the holomorphic Segre non-transversality for these maps propagates along Segre varieties. this propagation property fails when N > 2n − 2. For any proper rational holomorphic map between complex balls, we derive a simple and explicit criterion when it is equivalent to a holomorphic polynomial map. This criterion is used to show that proper rational holomorphic maps from B2 into BN of degree two are equivalent to polynomial maps. For general smooth CR embeddings from a Levi non-degenerate hypersurface into another one with the same signature, a monotonicity property of theChern-Moser-Weyl curvature along directions in the null space of the Levi-form has been obtained.

Towards a local-global visual feature-based framework for recognition
Creators: name: Zhao, Zhipeng
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: General object and activity recognition is a fundamental problem in computer vision that has been the subject of much research. Traditional approaches include model based and appearance template based methods. Recently, inspired by methods from the text retrieval literature, local visual feature-based models have shown a lot of success for recognition of objects or activities with large within-class geometric variability.There are several challenges in this approach, namely feature selection and target modeling using these features. This thesis proposes a local-global visual feature-based framework for general object and activity recognition with novel methods for these problems:1) Combinatorial and statistical methods for selecting informative parts to build statistical models for part-based object recognition. First a combinatorial optimization formulation is used for clustering on a weighted multipartite graph. Second, a statistical method for selecting discriminative parts from positive images is used to localize objects.2) An entropy based vocabulary selection method for “bag-of-words” model for activity recognition.3) Integrating both spatial and temporal information with appearance feature for human activity recognition. This method models the human motions with the distribution of local motion features and their spatial-temporal arrangements.The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated by several object recognition and activity recognition data sets, which include human facial expressions and hand gestures, etc.This thesis also covers an interesting project regarding a framework of applying Discrete Fourier Transform to detect salient regions in images and video sequences. This framework generalizes the previous saliency detection methods and can be applied for saliency detection in the video sequences.

Microscopy with spatial filtering for monitoring subcelluar morphology
Creators: name: Zheng, Jing-Yi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Dynamic alteration in organelle morphology is an important indicator of cellular function and many efforts have been made to monitor the subcellular morphology.  Optical scatter imaging (OSI), which combines light scattering spectroscopy with microscopic imaging, was developed to non-invasively track real-time changes in particle morphology in situ.  Using a variable diameter iris as a Fourier spatial filter, the technique consisted of collecting images that encoded the intensity ratio of wide-to-narrow angle scatter (OSIR, optical scatter imaging ratio) at each pixel in the full field of view. For spherical particles, the OSIR was shown to decrease monotonically with diameter.  In living cells, we reported this technique is able to detect mitochondrial morphological alterations, which were mediated by the Bcl-xL transmembrane domain, but could not be observed by fluorescence or DIC images.  However, the initial design was based on Mie theory of scattering by spheres, and hence only adequate for measuring spherical particles.  This limits the applicability of OSI to cellular functional studies involving organelles, which are naturally non-spherical.  In this project, we aim to enhance the current capability of the existing optical scatter microscope to assess size and shape information for both spherical and non-spherical particles, and eventually apply this technique for monitoring and quantifying subcellular morphology within living cells.  To reach this goal, we developed an improved system, in which the variable diameter iris is replaced with a digital micromirror device and adopted the concept of Gabor filtering to extend our assessment of morphology to the characterization of particle shape and orientation. Using bacteria and polystyrene spheres, we show how this system can be used to assess particle aspect ratio even when imaged at low resolution.  We also show the feasibility of detecting alterations in organelle aspect ratio in situ within living cells.  This improved OSI system could be further developed to automate morphological quantification and sorting of non-spherical particles in situ.  In the future, we plan to pursue the assessment of morphology information for particles of arbitrary shape and seek to correlate gene expression and cell function with subcellular morphology, which may help in disease diagnosis and drug screening.
The role of neuroticism in depressive and anxious symptoms among adolescents from urban and rural China

description: Lifetime prevalence rates of suicide and depression are on the rise in mainland China, especially among the youth. The current study examined whether the personality construct of neuroticism confers vulnerability to depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents. More specifically, this study examined: (1) whether neuroticism predicted the prospective changes in depressive symptoms following the occurrence of negative life events, (2) the specificity of this prediction to depressive symptoms, and (3) the mediation and moderation models of sex differences in depressive symptoms. Adolescents ages 14-19 from Changsha (N=536) and Liuyang (N=570) participated in this multi-wave longitudinal study. Depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, and neuroticism levels were assessed initially, and depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, and negative life events were assessed monthly for the next six months. Results support the hypothesis that neuroticism confers vulnerability to depressive symptoms, specificity for depressive symptoms was not found, and no reliable sex differences were found among depressive symptoms, thus precluding the possibility of testing mediation and moderation models. In addition, neuroticism conferred vulnerability to anxious symptoms in the low neuroticism group. All findings were replicated across both sites.

Pseudosphenoptera boyi Zerny, 1931a: 252. Holotype male, by monotypy: BRAZIL, Pará, Santarém, ix.1922 (Boy); with two labels: printed label “Moju bei Santarem, H. C. Boy” with date handwritten on the underside “ix.’22”, and handwritten label ” Pseudosphenoptera boyi Zerny ♂ type ”.
Current combination. Pseudosphenoptera boyi Zerny, 1931.
Condition of the type. Forewings slightly rubbed, otherwise in good condition.
Remarks. Pseudosphenoptera Butler, 1876 is a genus with incredible dimorphism sexual, which can be attested by the existence of four generic synonyms for a total of six species that are currently placed in it. The males are considerably smaller than the females, and have more hyaline areas on the wings. Pseudosphenoptera boyi is probably no exception, though the female is unknown, and correct association might require finding moths copulating, or perhaps DNA barcoding. To our knowledge the species is still known only from its holotype. Zerny (1931a) considered it close to Haematerion nephelophora (Hampson, 1914). However, it also appears close to P. basalis (Walker, 1854), the type species of Pseudosphenoptera, meaning that H. nephelophora is likely misplaced in Haematerion Herrich-Schäffer, [1855].
The specific epithet boyi derives from the holotype’s collector, Hugo Charles Boy (1890–1937), who collected in the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon in the 1920s (Lamas 1980, Papavero & Overal 2011).

The interpretation of intentionality from dynamic scenes
Creators: name: Pantelis, Peter C.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores how the mind uses the motion of animate objects to make inferences about these objects' underlying mental states, intentions, goals, or dispositions.  We present dynamic scenes to subjects in which autonomously programmed triangular "agents"' interact with each other and--in two of the experiments--an additional agent that is controlled by the subject.  We strive for the autonomous agents to be simple in their underlying programming but to also engage in a rich array of lifelike behaviors.  Subjects watch short simulations populated with these agents and then are asked questions designed to probe their perceptions of the similarities among the agents' behaviors.  We use the responses to derive a multidimensional scaling (MDS) solution for the agents in our set.  The aim is to relate this MDS solution to the underlying programming on one hand, and to also discover interesting structure in subjects' perception of the "agent space."  Clusters in this space, for example, could provide insight into the perceptual biases subjects bring to the experiment for which types of agents are a priori more likely to be observed.  The most robust result from the experiments is that subjects, in making inferences about an agent's intentions, pay special attention to how the agent reacts when another agent is at a "critical distance" of about 10-17.5 agent lengths away.

description: There has never been a successful revolution without "heroes." This dissertation argues that despite the inherent racist implications of classical and modern formulations of the heroic, the hero remains a site of struggle and resistance for writers of and in the African Diaspora. This project considers a genealogy of writers beginning with Ralph Ellison whose novel, Invisible Man and short story, "Flying Home," engage with classic and then contemporary forms of the heroic and seek to carve out a space for the African American heroic. I then consider novels and short stories produced by the next generation of writers, specifically the work of Charles Johnson and Toni Cade Bambara, who inherit Ellison's legacy of engagement with aesthetic and political implications of social and popular cultural movements and history. These writers, I argue, come to very different conclusions as to the efficacy of the "hero." I conclude the dissertation with the work of Michelle Cliff and Patricia Powell, whose work take us to the Anglo Caribbean and enables me to think through the movement of this figure through conduits of colonial and global capital and the resiliency of contemporary struggles, political and aesthetic, with this figure as a site of resistance and revolution.

description: This dissertation provides a comprehensive description of state-level oil pollution regulation within the United States. The study acts to identify challenges commonly experienced by those working in this field, and profiles innovative solutions that address these challenges. Recognizing that programs developed by one state may not be amenable to direct adoption by additional jurisdictions, alterations to the existing approaches are suggested, to improve both their effectiveness and generalizability.A nationwide telephone survey of regulatory programs found to have jurisdiction over oil pollution was  conducted; and the information gathered in this way was used to create a unique, in-depth portrait of the field. A set of common challenges were also identified, and paired with programmatic innovations found to exist in particular states. Four programs were identified as particularly promising model solutions, which the researcher visited to conduct multiple interviews.Among the major findings of this research is the fact that the problem of oil pollution in the United States is likely much more severe than federal data indicate. Although data management practices at the state level are generally poor, it appears that most of the releases experienced today arise not from the activities of the oil industry itself, but from small, use-related sources, such as truck accidents and home heating oil tanks. Unable to address the myriad incidents they experience due to limited regulatory resources, many states opt for a cooperative, rather than a coercive relationship with the regulated community. Very few pursue natural resource damages, despite reported concerns over injuries to use and non-use resource services resulting from spilled oil.The case studies included in Chapters 5 and 6 of this document provide detailed discussion and analysis of Florida’s Used Oil Recycling Program and Formulaic Approach to natural resource damage assessment; as well as of Wisconsin’s Professional Nutrient Applicator’s Certification Program and SERTS data management system. It is hoped that by sharing the findings of this research the true nature and extent of the nation’s oil pollution problem will be realized, and that the kinds of innovative solutions needed to create a more uniform and effective regulatory environment adopted at a greater rate.

description: A semiconductor device and method for fabricating a semiconductor device incorporating gate control over a resonant tunneling structure. The semiconductor device includes a source terminal, a gate terminal, a drain terminal, and a resonant tunneling structure located beneath or adjacent to the gate terminal, where the gate terminal controls an electrostatic potential drop through the resonant tunneling structure as well as controlling a potential within a portion of the conduction channel immediately beneath the gate terminal as in a MOSFET. The semiconductor device is fabricated by growing epitaxial layers of tunnel barriers and quantum wells, where a quantum well is formed between each set of two tunneling barriers. Additionally, the epitaxial layers of tunnel barriers and quantum wells are grown, etched and patterned to form a resonant tunneling structure. Further, the semiconductor device is grown, etched and patterned to form a gate, source and drain electrode.

description: During the year 1952, Morton Feldman composed only a few works, each of which possesses several similarities: each work is scored for the piano, each work was premiered by David Tudor, each is rather modest in proportions, and most importantly, each shares a very similar pitch structure with the others, bothin terms of the particular sonorities that Feldman employs and in terms of how these sonorities are juxtaposed and progress throughout each composition. This essay will show how Feldman, during this early stage of his career, was using a unified pitch language, and furthermore, how one can perceive his pitch structures not only as isolated sonic events, but with clear and integrated relationships to each other. The primary compositions that will be the focus of the paper are Piano Piece 1952, Intermission 5 and Extensions 3. The essay will be in the form of a comparative analysis, using set theory to draw relationships between the pitch structures in each composition.

description: A method for the detection of biological toxins in foods has to be sensitive, rapid, and field-applicable since toxin detection is on the front line of food safety and food protection against bioterrorism. In this thesis a sensitive, rapid, and label-free electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) immunosensor was developed and its performance in real foods was demonstrated.To improve the sensitive of EIS immunosensor, nanoporous aluminum was applied as the substrate of EIS immunosensor. Well ordered nanoporous aluminum having ~30nm in pore diameter was obtained by anodizing food grade aluminum in 0.3M oxalic acid at 40V. EIS immunosensor for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) or ricin was developed by immobilizing anti-SEB or ricin on nanoporous aluminum using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Particularly efficient immobilization of antibody (Ab) was attained by silanization of aluminum in 2% APTES for 4hrs.A time-resolved EIS of immunosensor was performed to investigate the effect of immunoreaction on impedimetric signal outputs. Immunoreaction between immobilized Ab and its target toxin resulted in gradual changes in the spectra of impedimetric signal outputs. The change by immunoreaction was significant especially in real part of impedance (Z') at the frequency region from 10kHz to 100kHz. The specific changes of Z' to immunoreaction also could be observed at pH 3.0 and pH 5.0. Using developed EIS immunosensor, it was possible to detect the presence of 10pg/ml of SEB in 15min without amplification of signal output such as labeling step. Moreover EIS immunosensor was applicable to real foods even to acidic foods.

(Fig. 6)
Correbia rufescens columbiana Zerny, 1931b: 26. Lectotype hereby designated, male: COLOMBIA, Rio Negro, with three labels: printed label “Ober Rio Negro, Ost Colomb., 800m, coll. Fassl” and two handwritten labels “ Correbia rufescens Rots. ” and “ Correbia rufescens colombiana Zerny ♂ type ”. One paralectotype, male, also with three labels: printed label “Villavicencio, Ost Colombia, 400m, coll. Fassl”, and two handwritten labels, “ Correbia bricenoi Rots ” and a type label.
Current combination. Correbia columbiana Zerny, 1931 stat. nov.
Condition of the types. Lectotype. Forewings rubbed, left hindwing slightly damaged. Part of the antennal pectinations damaged. Most legs missing. Paralectotype. Almost all legs missing, and wings badly rubbed.
Remarks. Correbia rufescens columbiana was described as a subspecies of C. rufescens Rothschild, 1912 from the two males mentioned above. The type specimens are conspecific, but not with the one of the syntypes of C. rufescens, examined by the first author (also a male). Zerny's error probably stemmed from his reliance on the illustration provided by Draudt (1915) for the identification of C. rufescens, which does not correspond to this species. C. rufescens had been previously illustrated (correctly) by Hampson (1915, pl. 20, fig. 26). The true concept of C. rufescens is in fact quite distinct from C. rufescens columbiana, having only two small black spots near the discal cell, and not a black transverse stripe in the discal area from margin to margin, as occurs in both specimens that Zerny had in hand.
This species seems to be allied to C. bricenoi Rothschild, 1912 (a photograph of one of its male syntypes was examined by the first author), differing from it by the forewing pattern, with more brown scales medially and on the entire internal margin in C. columbiana.

Interaction effects in high-mobility Si MOSFETs at ultra-low temperatures
Creators: name: Klimov, Nikolai
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This dissertation focuses on the experimental study of the anomalous "metallic" behavior of the conductivity observed in high-mobility two-dimensional (2D) electron systems at low carrier densities (n) and temperatures (T). This intriguing phenomenon seems to defy one of the paradigms of our understanding of electron transport in 2D, the scaling theory of localization that claims that all electron states in 2D are localized. Our experimental object is the high-mobility silicon metal-insulator-oxide field effect transistor (Si MOSFET) in which this anomalous behavior is the most pronounced in comparison with other high-mobility devices. We have explored in details the conductivity sigma in high-mobility Si MOSFETs over wide ranges of electron densities n=(2-3)x10^11 cm^-2 , temperatures  T=30mK-4K, and magnetic fields B=0-5T.  The low-temperature behavior of sigma in these systems is shaped by the interaction effects, which are amplified by the valley degeneracy and the interaction-driven renormalization of electron parameters. While exploring the temperature and magnetic field dependences of sigma far from the strongly localized regime ((sigma>>e^2/h) we observed for the first time the crossover between the “metallic”  and “insulating”  regimes with lowering temperature below ~0.3 K. We have attributed this crossover to the modification of the interaction correction to sigma at low T caused by a non-zero valley splitting and inter-valley scattering.  All relevant quantities have been measured in independent experiments. In particular, the intervalley scattering rate tau_v^-1 has been extracted from the analysis of weak localization magnetoresistance. We found that the intervalley scattering rate is temperature-independent and the ratio tau_v/tau  increases monotonically with decreasing the electron density (au is the momentum relaxation time).  These observations suggest that the roughness of the Si-SiO2 interface plays the major role in intervalley scattering.  The detailed analysis of the  sigma(T,B_||) data conducted with no adjustable parameters shows that the theory of interaction corrections to the conductivity of disordered systems adequately describes the experimental data at intermediate temperatures. At the same time, our data indicate that for better agreement with the experiment at low temperatures, the theory should take into account inter-valley scattering that strongly affect the interaction corrections in multi-valley systems.

description: The complete structure of Psymberin was determined with the application of the Universal NMR database approach. A formal synthesis of psymberin was completed with the application of spirodiepoxides. An assembly of a dihydroisocumarin ring was accomplished from a complex aldehyde and an anion derived from a pentasubstituted arene. A new condition to couple an aldehyde and an amide was achieved to reach a carbinolamide moiety. This condition was applied for the synthesis of analogs and hybrid structures. In a separate study, a metal and a ligand were investigated to promote the coupling between thioacids and azides.

Diptilum crassum Zerny, 1912b: 123. Holotype male by monotypy: COLOMBIA, Bogotá; with three handwritten labels “Steinheil, Bogota, coll 880 II”, “gen n. Diptilon sp.”, and “ Diptilum crassum Zerny type ♂”.
Current combination. Diptilon crassum Zerny, 1912.
Condition of the type. Right antenna, hindlegs and small part of the left forewing missing. Specimen poorly mounted, with many loose scales littering the wings.
Remarks. Diptilon Prittwitz, 1870 is probably non-monophyletic, judging from the morphological variety found among the 16 valid species currently placed in it. There appear to exist at least two groups of species that may form unrelated monophyletic entities. One is evidently linked to D. telamonophorum Prittwitz, 1870 (type species of the genus), and D. crassum may be related to the other group, which comprises D. chrysocraspis Hampson, 1898, D. sylpha Dognin, 1902 and D. hoffmannsi Rothschild, 1911. However, the hindwings in these three species are reduced, which is probably the reason why they were assigned to Diptilon. The same does not occur in D. crassum, which indicates that its taxonomic position might be far from settled.

Victorian excesses
Creators: name: Alexander, Sarah C.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: This dissertation claims Victorian writers depicted London’s streets and public spaces as visible and material analogues to the abstract workings of capitalism.  Excess and lack intermingle in Victorian representations of London’s streets and the underclass who inhabited them.  These spaces served both as backdrop for representing and reflecting conceptions of capitalist exchange and provided the possibility of such representations.  These chapters identify the internal economies of several literary texts and demonstrate how these economies serve as metonyms for the marketplace.  Rather than being arranged according to principles of conservation or expenditure, these internal economies demonstrate a system in which excesses and remainders are produced by and serve to disrupt the system.  Two categories of excess appeared in Victorian writing about London's streets.  The first, which is explored in chapters one and two, is excess as residue or waste.  Chapter one, which examines Charles Dickens's Bleak House and Our Mutual Friend, positions the waste collector as a figure for the residue that haunts the modern city and impedes both narrative and capitalist progress by reintroducing into the capitalist system what it seeks to expel.  The second chapter explores another kind of residue: the residuum, a name that was used for the non-working poor.  Arthur Morrison's A Child of the Jago and Émile Zola's Parisian novel L'Assommoir, this chapter argues, describe the non-working poor as a form of capitalist and thermodynamic waste that threatens the system which creates it.  The second kind of excess, which is the concern of the final two chapters, is produced by consumption rather than labor and as such is the surplus of capital accumulation and commodity culture.  Chapter three explores James Thomson's City of Dreadful Night and its articulation of urban time as recursive.  The poem develops a notion of time that in the process of looking backward--in terms of both form and theme--creates excess by multiplying itself infinitely.  The final chapter identifies an economy of replication in two texts which combine the visual and the verbal to depict London’s crowds: Gustave Doré and Blanchard Jerrold's London, A Pilgrimage and Jack London's The People of the Abyss.  In these texts, the city's celebratory crowds open up the possibility for the multiplication of meanings and subject positions while simultaneously conveying a sense of pressure toward dissolution.
