Race

description: This dissertation examines race as cultural identity and specifically what is produced and legitimated when race is expressed on the surface of the body through our daily discourses and repeated performances of those discourses. The framework defines identity as daily and repeated communicative, linguistic and corporeal enactments. It also asks whether there is power in these expressions and whether a self-reflexive approach to these expressions of race as culture could be subversive or transformative. The framework of this dissertation is built on a rejection of the categories of identity as arbitrary and as part of a discourse used to divide, rank and degrade people. The framework is propped up with constructs adapted from the work of Butler, Bakhtin and Foucault's interpretations of power and specifically the idea that labels are the work of power used to police exclude and prohibit. From Foucault I adopted the notion that power does not emanate from a single sovereign source, and is instead disseminated through various actors across multiple relationship networks. From Bakhtin I adopted the metaphor of centripetal or unifying discourses vs. centrifugal or diversifying discourses, which provided clarifying imagery regarding the ways in which power moves inside language, more often than not fixing meanings to objects in limiting and tyrannical ways. Finally, from Butler I adopted the idea of performativity, which defines identities as daily repeated communicative, linguistic and corporeal enactments and explains how discourse is manifested through our bodies such that we might accomplish things with words when we perform with and through powerful discourses. The dissertation concludes that bodies (race) and categories (culture) are not fixed entities but rather engaged in a dialogic process with what has been and could be. Our enactment and engagement of categories give durability and credibility to those discourses and performances in large part through the naturalization created by daily repetition. Furthermore, we can self-reflect on our bodies and performances, the discourses that we have helped sustain, and the possibilities that open up once we understand that there is power in our repeated performances and possibilities in the spaces that open once we halt the repetition.

Aminoglycoside

description: Monitoring a patient's serum aminoglycoside levels is essential for reaching therapeutic levels of the drug while avoiding the adverse consequence of nephrotoxicity.  In 1985, aminoglycoside testing at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center was evaluated by a pharmacy resident who reported that some patients had excessive numbers of tests performed while others experienced inadequate monitoring.  A committee was established to examine this perceived problem.  The committee developed guidelines for aminoglycoside use which identified patients needing to be monitored and the number of levels to be performed.  A new laboratory-ordering worksheet was designed to resolve specimen collection problems.  Data collected on 146 patients, 71 prior to and 75 following implementation of the guidelines, were evaluated to assess the difference in the ordering patterns.  In each group, PRE and POST, there were 50 patients who met the guideline criteria for being monitored.  Serum creatinine levels were evaluated to assess compliance with the guidelines which recommended that they be performed every three to four days during therapy as an indicator of aminoglycoside-associated nephrotoxicity.

Effect of incubation in vitro with triamcinolone acetonide on murine heart and skin allograft survival
Creators: name: Graff, William Tolley
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Graft vs Host Reaction

description: Mouse neonatal heart fragments or adult skin grafts were incubated either in a aqueous suspension of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) or in saline before grafting to isogeneic and allogeneic recipients.  Almost invariably, TA incubated (40 or 10 mg/ml) heart fragment grafts failed to develop pulsatile or electrocardiographic activity.  Likewise, TA incubated (40 mg/ml) skin grafts did not "take."  In contrast, saline treated grafts (heart fragments and skin) did "take" and survive as expected.  That is, isografts survived indefinitely, whereas allografts were rejected in normal first-set fashion.  Apparently, pretreatment with TA significantly jeopardized the revascularization of both and iso- and allografted heart fragments and skin and resulted in consequent graft necrosis.

Calmodulin

description: The C-terminal 110 residues of the gamma-subunit of phosphorylase kinase have been termed the regulatory domain and contain two calmodulin-binding subdomains.  In order to structurally characterize this region of the gamma-subunit, a bacterial expression system was developed to produce a 5-residue sequence (residues 302-377 of the gamma-subunit) from within the regulatory domain that contains the calmodulin-binding and pseudo substrate subdomains.  The pMALc2 expression vector was employed which produces a fusion protein containing maltose-binding protein and the gamma-subunit peptide termed PhKpep.  The bacterial expression system produced nanomolar amounts of the pure PhKpep peptide after purification of the fusion protein using amylase resin, cleavage with factory Xa, and high-performance liquid chromatography purification.  PhKpep was characterized by N-terminal sequence analysis and ion spray mass spectrometry.  PhKpep was shown to bind calmodulin with 1:1 stoichiometry in a calcium-dependent manner.  The PhKpep peptide had a high affinity for calmodulin as expected from previous studies performed on constituent calmodulin-binding subdomains of PhKpep.  The KD was determined to be in the subnanomolar range as determined by fluorescence anisotropy using carload-labeled T146C calmodulin.  This peptide should be useful in a variety of structural studies aimed at understanding the molecular interactions of the gamma-subunit with calmodulin.
Interferon inducers as antiviral agents

Leukocytes

description: Studies were undertaken to investigate factors which might influence the efficacy of interferon induces as antiviral agents.  Initially, the kinetics of the interferon response induced in mice by poly I:C and tilorone hydrochloride was determined.  The interferon response following oral administration of tilorone was unusually delayed and prolonged when compared with most synthetic inducers such a poly I:C but could not be explained on the bases of time required for absorption of the drug from the G.I. tract.  Furthermore, although lymphatic tissue had been suggested to be a primary cell involved in the tilorone induced interferon response, treatment of mice with anti-lymphocyte serum had not effect on their ability to produce interferon in response to tilorone.  These results indicated that lymphatic tissue were not critical in the tilorone induced interferon response as anticipated.  Mice infected with Semliki  Forest Virus or encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus developed a progressive state of hyporeactivity to interferon induction.  By 96 hours after infection with either virus, a time when symptoms of illness were first detectable, an 80 to 95% suppression of the interferon response could be demonstrated with all of the interferon inducers examined in these studies.  This hyporeactive state was postulated to be one possible explanation for the observation that interferon inducers are less effective as antiviral agents when administered after the onset of the infection.  Studies designed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of single or multiple injections of tilorone hydrochloride or poly I:C indicated that in order to successfully protect infected mice from the lethal consequences of EMC virus infection, suppression of a detectable viremia was essential.  The viremia could be delayed or partially suppressed without protection.  The data strongly suggest that once the CNS has been seeded and virus replication had begun inducer therapy was ineffective in altering the outcome of infection.  This could in art be attributed to the low levels of interferon found in brain tissue following intraperitoneal administration of poly I:C.  Also, animals which received the most effective treatment regimen of interferon inducers and survived the infection had a reduced incidence of circulating, neutralizing antibody.  This reduction in the incidence of antibody in surviving mice was correlated with suppression of detectable viremia and presumably with prevention of sufficient antigenic stimulation to initiate the natural antibody response.

Breast Cancer Metastasis and the Immune Response MSP/RON Signalling Supresses T Cell Activity and Enables Metastasis
Creators: name: Eyob, Henok
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Many breast cancers have spawned clinically undetectable metastatic colonies even prior to diagnosis. The eventual outgrowth of these microscopic lesions causes metastatic relapse and death of an estimated 40,000 women in the US. However, how disseminated cancer cells convert to overt metastases remains largely unknown. Immunosuppression within the primary tumor microenvironment enables tumor progression; however, how tumors maintain immune suppression once outside the immune-protective environment of the primary tumor is unclear. Macrophage Stimulating Protein (MSP) is activated via cleavage by a protease, matriptase, and binds to its receptor, Ron, which is found on epithelial cells, osteoclasts, and macrophages. Co-overexpression of MSP/Matriptase/Ron is a strong independent prognostic factor for both metastasis and death in breast cancer patients. Additionally, overexpression of MSP in mouse mammary tumor cells resulted in increased tumor growth rate and significantly increased spontaneous metastasis to the lungs, lymphatics and bones. We utilized a model of breast cancer metastasis, along with tissue complementation strategies, to interrogate the role of MSP/Ron in metastasis. Tumor growth was similar between WT and Ron knockout hosts. However, loss of host Ron abrogated pulmonary metastasis, specifically by preventing the outgrowth of seeded metastatic colonies. iv We discovered that tumor-bearing Ron knockout hosts had a significant increase in CD8+ T cell levels in their spleen and increased levels of infiltrating CD8+ T cells in the tumor stroma. CD8+ T cells from Ron knockout hosts had increased cytolytic ability in vitro and in vivo, while ablation of CD8+ T cells in Ron TK-/- hosts restored levels of metastasis. Therapeutically, BMS-777607, a Ron inhibitor, decreased lung colonization in both a prophalytic and adjuvant setting. This was dependent on CD8+ T cells, as depletion of CD8+ T cells in the context of drug treatment did not decrease colonization. In summary, my dissertation shows that MSP/Ron pathway is a key mediator of conversion of micrometastases to metastatic lesions in lungs, by suppressing antitumor CD8+ T cell immunity. Clinically, our findings suggest that Ron inhibitors may be immunotherapeutic drugs. This may impact clinical development of Ron inhibitors, including clinical trial design, monitoring of clinical efficacy, patient selection, and combination therapies.

description: Gravitational entropy is an elusive concept. Various theoretical proposals have been presented, initially based on Penrose's Weyl Curvature Hypothesis, and variations of it. A more recent proposal by Clifton, Ellis, and Tavakol (CET) considered a novel approach by defining such entropy from a Gibbs equation constructed from an effective stress-energy tensor that emerges from the 'square root' algebraic decomposition of the Bel-Robinson tensor, the simplest divergence-less tensor related to the Weyl tensor. Since, so far all gravitational entropy proposals have been applied to highly restrictive and symmetric spacetimes, we probe in this paper the CET proposal for a class of much less idealized spactimes (the Szekeres class I models) capable of describing the joint evolution of arrays of arbitrary number of structures: overdensities and voids, all placed on selected spatial locations in an asymptotic $Λ$CDM backgound. By using suitable covariant variables and their fluctuations, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive CET entropy production to be a negative sign of the product of the density and Hubble expansion fluctuations. To examine the viability of this theoretical result we examine numerically the CET entropy production for two elongated over dense regions surrounding a central spheroidal void, all evolving jointly from initial linear perturbations at the last scattering era into present day Mpc-size CDM structures. We show that CET entropy production is positive for all times after last scattering at the precise spatial locations where structure growth occurs and where the exact density growing mode is dominant. The present paper provides the least idealized (and most physically robust) probe of a gravitational entropy proposal in the context of structure formation.

description: The present experiment was designed to investigate a part of the connective tissue steroid metabolism, which is so important to the normal physiological state of an organism.  Several conclusions can be drawn from this experiment: 1. The rate of interconversion from Cortisol to cortisone and from cortisone to Cortisol is very different in sarcoma cells than in normal cells.  2. In conversions of Cortisol to cortisone and cortisone to Cortisol, the rate of biotransformation begins more slowly in the malignant cells.  Perhaps for some reason Cortisol and cortisone are unable to enter malignant cells as rapidly as normal cells, or the enzymes necessary to the reaction have been incapacitated or inactivated.  3. The conversion to inactive products is much greater in sarcoma cells than in normal cells, so that sarcoma cells seem to squander the biological material necessary to protect the organism against stressors.  4. In the present experiment, conversion to inactive products is greater from cortisone C14 than from Cortisol H3, especially in sarcToma cells.  5. In normal cells, C-11 oxidation is prominent (20 percent at three hours), and it is second only to C-11 reduction which is twice as great (40 percent at three hours).  6. In sarcoma cells, C-11 oxidation is very small (1-3 percent 70 at three hours), so also is C-11 reduction (4 percent at three hours).  7. In normal cells, C-11 reduction is tremendous.  This enables normal cells to keep sufficient Cortisol molecules in the active state to protect the animal against stressors and maintain the homeostasis necessary to the normal functioning of the organism. 8.   However, sarcoma cells have lost the capacity to convert a large amount of the potentially active cortisone to Cortisol (C-11 reduction). Thus, the amount of Cortisol available is less than in normal cells and control over growth and other processes may be lost.  If this applies to the whole animal, peripheral fibroblastic-induced adrenal cortical insufficiency would be produced, leaving less Cortisol present to protect the organism against inflammatory disease and noxious or chemical substances.  In this way, the homeostasis so necessary to the normal state is disrupted.  If we can discover at what point in normal fibroblast metabolism the capacity of C-11 reduction is lost, we may come closer to the final enigma of the cancer process and thereby have a better chance to control it.  But to do this, it is necessary to understand the cell itself and its environment and to understand the metabolism of normal and of malignant cells.  By furthering these studies we will be better equipped to develop synthetic hormones and other means which may cause destruction of carcinomatous lesions without being toxic to the organism.

description: This study advances the constructive implication that technological injections of dynamic variables in production contribute to societal benefits. Statistical study of the United States economy, 1964-2004, will advance the measurement of specific inputs and the impacts of comparative data on the overall production function. Furthermore, graphical presentation, game theory, set theory, and economic welfare theory will support the constructive arguments for developing nations, which would like to adopt positive and constructive strategies where global beneficial adoptions serve. The supply and demand aspect of technological advancement only partly allows for sustainable economic success. Often-derailing details are missing from the complex strategies for global survival, when free and perfectly competitive markets are to advance sustainable economic growth. Ignorance of such details does not enhance global security but endangers it. An expanding global population needs to employ diminishing global resources to meet demands, which without education, will implode all systems, as the rate of pollution growth far exceeds the capacity of detoxification, either natural or manufactured. Other issues of health and welfare complicate realities; these without prioritization of needs, wants, and without appropriate pricing remain problematic. In this paper, we study that even segmental corrections promise improved results for the economic welfare of the globe. The thesis states that the dynamic influences of technology and elemental factors of production --defined and measured in this dissertation-- are greater than commonly have been calculated or expected. The impacts of different measurements of capital stocks (traditional and new adjusted capital) on embodied and disembodied technological variables on productivity and economic growth of national social products are tested. The econometric effects of two new capital stock measures introduced in the writing of Friedrich August Von Hayek, John Maynard Keynes, and further developed by Evsey D. Domar, and ignored by most modern economists are examined. Therefore, we focus on the demand and supply side of technology embodied in capital, in human skill and produced goods and services, and the economy.

description: Singularities of the Poynting vector field at resonant light scattering by nanoparticles are discussed and classified. It is shown that there are two generic types of them, namely (i) the singularities related to the vanishing of the magnetic (and/or electric) field at the singular points and (ii) the singularities related to the formation of standing waves in the proximity of the singular points. The connection of these types of singularities to the topology of the singular points and the space dimension (3D vs. 2D) is revealed.

description: We derive the dynamical magnetic response functions in the Fulde-Ferrell (FF) state of a superconductor with inversion symmetry. The pair momentum 2q is obtained by minimization of the condensation energy and the resulting quasiparticle states and spectral functions exhibit the segmentation into paired and unpaired regions due to the finite q. The dynamical magnetic susceptibility is then calculated in linear response formalism in the FF state with finite-q condensate resulting from s-wave or d-wave pairing. We show that quasiparticle excitations inside as well as between paired and unpaired segments contribute to the dynamical response. We discuss its dependence on frequency and momentum transfer which develops a characteristic symmetry-breaking parallel to q. Furthermore, we investigate the possible influence on Knight shift and in the case of d-wave pairing on the spin resonance formation in the FF state.

description: The study of environmental values is focused on explaining environmentalism with either the postmaterialist values hypothesis or the objective problems subjective values hypothesis. The first explains environmentalism as the result of affluence, mainly in the Global North, and the second focuses on exposure to degradation, mainly in the Global South. In this study I engage theories of ecological modernization, ecologically unequal exchange, and treadmill of production to examine the effects of national levels of affluence, economic growth, and degradation on the likelihood that individuals in different nations will consider environmental protection highly important. Results of multilevel analysis indicate that high levels of national affluence are associated with less individual environmentalism, contrary to affluence and ecological modernization theories. I also find that higher rates of economic growth are associated with higher levels of environmentalism, although as ecologically unequal exchange and treadmill of production theories suggest, this may have less to do with improving economic circumstances and more to do with the degradation that accompanies development.

description: Tree roots detection is a popular application of the Ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Normally, the ground surface above the tree roots is assumed to be flat, and standard processing methods based on hyperbolic fitting are applied to the hyperbolae reflection patterns of tree roots for detection purposes. When the surface of the land is undulating (not flat), these typical hyperbolic fitting methods becomes inaccurate. This is because, the reflection patterns change with the uneven ground surfaces. When the soil surface is not flat, it is inaccurate to use the peak point of an asymmetric reflection pattern to identify the depth and horizontal position of the underground target. The reflection patterns of the complex shapes due to extreme surface variations results in analysis difficulties. Furthermore, when multiple objects are buried under an undulating ground, it is hard to judge their relative positions based on a B-scan that assumes a flat ground. In this paper, a roots fitting method based on electromagnetic waves (EM) travel time analysis is proposed to take into consideration the realistic undulating ground surface. A wheel-based (WB) GPR and an antenna-height-fixed (AHF) GPR System are presented, and their corresponding fitting models are proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated and validated through numerical examples and field experiments.

description: Early, efficient, and inexpensive methods for the detection of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed for effective patient management as well as to interrupt transmission. The major factors influencing the clinical outcome and control of the transmission of TB from patients includes the low sensitivity of the conventional Ziehl-Neelsen method and the long time taken to obtain drug susceptibility data. One of the most promising approaches is the use of mycobacteriophage D29 to demonstrate the viable mycobacterium cells. The aim of this review was to document the role of mycobacteriophages, particularly mycobacteriophage D29 to detect M. tuberculosis in sputum samples from TB patients. The review was organized by collecting different published information and after core laboratory skills were acquired. Fast PlaqueTM is a rapid test which utilizes bacteriophage amplification technology for the detection of viable M. tuberculosis in clinical specimens. Taking BACTEC 460 TB culture as the gold standard, the sensitivity of Fast PlaqueTM test reported 87.5% that Ziehl-Neelsen microscopy can detect when the sample has > 104 bacilli/ml of sputum, but the Fast PlaqueTM test can detect 100-300 bacilli/ml of sputum. The diagnostic performance of the Fast PlaqueTM test is reported to be comparable with the GeneXepert test, especially on smear negative specimens (sensitivity of 65% versus 72.5%, respectively). Moreover, the cost is by far less than that of the other available tests, like culture or polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In conclusion, the Fast PlaqueTM test has a good potential for rapid diagnosis of M. tuberculosis. Thus it can be useful in the diagnosis of tuberculosis as an adjunct to sputum microscopy particularly in TB endemic and resource poor countries. In addition, Fast PlaqueTM-RIFTM offered a performance comparable to the gold standard proportion methods of rifampicin susceptibility testing.

description: The proliferation of emergent network applications (e.g., telesurgery, metaverse) is increasing the difficulty of managing modern communication networks. These applications entail stringent network requirements (e.g., ultra-low deterministic latency), which hinders network operators to manage their resources efficiently. In this article, we introduce the network digital twin (NDT), a renovated concept of classical network modeling tools whose goal is to build accurate data-driven network models that can operate in real-time. We describe the general architecture of the NDT and argue that modern machine learning (ML) technologies enable building some of its core components. Then, we present a case study that leverages a ML-based NDT for network performance evaluation and apply it to routing optimization in a QoS-aware use case. Lastly, we describe some key open challenges and research opportunities yet to be explored to achieve effective deployment of NDTs in real-world networks.

Formation and evaluation of protective layer over magnesium melt under various gaseous atmospheres
Creators: name: Emami, Samar

description: Molten magnesium exposed to an atmosphere of air will oxidize rapidly, resulting in burning on the metal surface, melt loss and handling difficulties. If magnesium is to be used as a casting metal, the melt must be protected from this severe oxidation. The objective of this work was to study the oxidation of molten magnesium in various protective atmospheres to obtain qualitative and quantitative data on the rate and mechanism of protection. Measurements of the kinetics of the protective layer formation in various atmospheres, additive gas concentrations in air and temperatures were made by monitoring the weight gain of the samples with time. To obtain knowledge of magnesium melt protection and to find the best practical protection condition, samples were examined in atmospheres of SF6/air, CO2/air, SO2/air, and SF6/CO2/air. Experiments were performed using a thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) unit in the temperature range of 670 - 770°C (943 - 1043K). Reaction times of 2, 3 and 7 minutes were selected to have the closest condition to that of industry. The morphology, chemical composition and thickness of the surface films were studied using SEM/EDS and a kinetic model for the process was developed. Results showed that all the additives contributed to protection of molten magnesium. Among them, SF6 and SO2 showed best protection by forming a denser and more uniform surface film. However, the use of SO2 is not recommended due to the violent behavior observed at longer times and higher temperatures. In addition, there are some drawbacks due to its high toxicity and corrosiveness, which demand additional handling and ventilation procedures. Despite the requirement of a higher concentration in air, CO2 showed the lowest protection capabilities among all. However, addition of small amount of CO2 to a mixture of SF6 and air revealed a high inhibiting effect to molten magnesium. The effects of additive concentration, temperature and reaction time were further investigated. Increasing the additive concentration and reaction time resulted in formation of a more protective surface layer that retarded the rate of magnesium oxidation. No burning was observed in the protected samples. At 720°C (993K), the surface layer showed a better protection behavior than at lower temperatures. The samples prepared at 770°C (1043K) suffered from impaired protection due to increased vapor pressure of magnesium and rupture of the surface film. Complete rate expressions were determined for the samples treated under SF6/air and CO2/air mixtures in the temperature range of 670°C to 770°C (943K to 1043K).

description: Das Land Berlin hat 2015 eine Open-Access-Strategie verabschiedet, in der unter anderem das Ziel formuliert ist, dass bis 2020 60 % aller Aufsätze von Angehörigen der Wissenschaftseinrichtungen des Landes Berlin Open Access zugänglich sein sollen. Fragt sich nur: Wo stehen wir aktuell? Diese Frage beschäftigt seit 2016 eine Arbeitsgruppe bestehend aus VertreterInnen verschiedener Berliner Einrichtungen. Eine besondere Herausforderung besteht in dem Ziel einer gemeinsamen Erhebung für verschiedene Einrichtungen, die jeweils eigene und heterogene Nachweis- und Reporting-Systeme einsetzen.

In der ersten Analyse 2016 wurde für den Erhebungszeitraum 2013–2015 konnte der Open-Access-Anteil in echten Open-Access-Zeitschriften (OA Gold) und in hybriden Zeitschriften (OA Hybrid) ermittelt werden. Für die zweite Analyse 2017 konnte die Methode erweitert werden, so dass für den Erhebungszeitraum 2016 zusätzlich Angaben zum Open-Access-Anteil durch Zweitveröffentlichungen (OA Grün) möglich sind.

Im Vortrag stellen wir die Herausforderungen, das Vorgehen und die Ergebnisse dieser Analysen vor. Wir diskutieren insbesondere Aspekte, die HerausgeberInnen von Open-Access-Zeitschriften bzw. Einrichtungen, die Infrastrukturen und Services für diese bereitstellen, beachten sollten, damit ihre Open-Access-Inhalte bei derartigen Studien berücksichtigt und als Open-Access-Inhalt erkannt werden.
