description: Large Deformation Di eomorphic Metric Mapping is a powerful technique which has been used to quantify variations in anatomical structures in medical images. This allows us to compare various images within and across a populations of classes using the underlying deformation  eld which maps each image with the representative images of the class. The deformation  eld can be described by a low-dimensional control point parameterization. We investigate the potential of this low-dimensional parameterization in classi cation and study the e ect of the underlying classi er parameters on the classi cation accuracy.

New biaxial flexure test device for ultra-thin germanium

Subjects: Germanium crystals, Testing

description: Germanium is a semiconductor now widely used in gamma and X-ray detectors and high-performance space-based solar cell arrays and is also being  developed for land-based solar cell applications. Growth and processing of germanium and other semiconductor crystals, without the generation of defects, is a critical issue in electronic materials processing and device manufacturing. In order to  reduce the high costs, the germanium single crystal wafers are generally cut ultrathin.  This creates a relatively large width-to-thickness ratio making the wafers very susceptible to mechanical stresses during processing. Therefore, knowing the stress criteria for fracture during handling is vital in order to prevent any micro-cracks or total wafer failure.  A new biaxial flexure testing device was designed and fabricated for full wafer testing of thin germanium wafers. The new device allows for a controlled and uniform application of very small loads, and continuous measurement of the  deflection. The test setup is simple, inexpensive, easy to setup and use, and can be easily modified for a wide range of specimen types and sizes depending on the particular use. Thin germanium wafers of varying thicknesses and surface conditions were examined using this device. Three-point bend tests were also carried  out and  both these types of tests were then compared.

description: The emergence of the Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in recent years has posed a severe challenge to the galaxy formation models as well as the Extended Theories of Gravity. The existence of both dark matter lacking and dark matter dominated systems within the same family of astrophysical objects indeed requires the gravity models to be versatile enough to describe very different gravitational regimes. In this work, we study a non-local extension of the theory of General Relativity that has drawn increasing attention in recent years due to its capability to account for the late time cosmic acceleration without introducing any dark energy fluid. We leverage the kinematic data of three Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies: NGC 1052-DF2 and NGC 1052-DF4, which are dark matter lacking, and Dragonfly 44, which exhibits a highly dominant dark matter component. Our analysis shows that the non-local corrections to the Newtonian potential do not affect the kinematic predictions, hence no spoiling effects emerge when the Non-local Gravity model serves as a dark energy model. We additionally provide the minimum value that the characteristic non-local radii can reach at these mass scales.

Immediate effects of muscular fatigue on postural stability and motoneuron pool excitability in healthy adults

Neuromuscular transmission

description: BACKGROUND: The dynamic effect that fatigue plays on acute neuromuscular  excitability has been studied at length without arriving at either an accepted explanation  or adequate understanding. Researchers agree that the mode by which fatigue is achieved  may contribute to the body's response and recovery. Eccentric exercise, as a method by  which fatigue is achieved, is commonly incorporated due to its qualities of producing a  high muscle strain and low energy expenditure simultaneously. The influence of  eccentric-induced fatigue, as it pertains to postural stability and motoneuron pool  excitability, is not well understood. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to investigate the  impact of fatigue on motoneuron pool excitability and postural stability in healthy adults.  HYPOthesis: Motoneruon pool excitability will be facilitated despite a simultaneous  inhibition in postural stability. METHODS: Twelve volunteers (24.4 ± 6.7 yrs; female  n=6; male n=6) participated in a single 10-minute bout of eccentric exercise-induced  fatigue. H-reflex measurements, used to measure motor pool excitability, and a Limits of  Stability (LOS) test, used to quantify postural stability, were administered prior to and  immediately following exercise participation. T-tests were utilized to compare eccentric  fatigue's effect on the specific neural functions previously delineated. RESULTS:  Statistical significance (tn=+2.408, p=0.035) was found on one measure of postural  stability, in which there was a facilitation. CONCLUSION: Implications for such  findings indicate that eccentric-induced fatigue may more actively be prescribed as part  of an appropriate rehabilitation and physical therapy protocol without exposing clients to  a risk for increased neuromuscular compromise. Such findings are intended to serve as preparation for extending the investigation to an elderly cohort who may benefit more  directly from the integration of eccentric exercise within therapeutic protocols.

Improved magnetic resonance temperature imaging through pulse sequence and reconstruction techniques

Subjects: Constrained reconstruction

Thermal modeling

description: This dissertation focuses on improving magnetic resonance (MR) thermometry techniques. The goal is to develop and improve data acquisition and image reconstruction methods such that MR can be used to effectively monitor a variety of thermal therapy  procedures, with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments being of particular interest. These treatments selectively heat a small volume of tissue rapidly, making the temperature monitoring aspect both vital and challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging can measure and map temperature changes in tissue based on the temperature dependence of the resonant frequency of water protons. The first set of results given quantifies the effects that different spatial sampling properties  have on these MR temperature maps during HIFU treatments. The study indicates that accurate measurement of a single point HIFU induced temperature distribution requires a spatial resolution of 1x1x3 mm or less. Covering the entire volume of interest at this  resolution would take an excessively long time to acquire using conventional MR thermometry means. The remainder of the work presented in this dissertation concerns two reconstruction techniques that allow MRI temperature maps to be acquired at an accelerated rate. The first method is known as temporally constrained reconstruction (TCR). This algorithm generates images from undersampled data by iteratively minimizing a cost function.

Tennis elbow

description: Lateral epicondylalgia (LE), commonly known as tennis elbow, is an upper extremity musculoskeletal disorder that affects 1-3% of the general population. Despite the prevalence and persistence, specific diagnoses and a preferred treatment approach remain in question. Eccentric wrist extension therapy has recently shown promise in rehabilitation of LE. A device has been developed to assist in future research of eccentric therapy protocols. This device is capable of simulating conventional eccentric loading methods while offering additional functionality and features. A motion capture and surface electromyography study has been conducted to evaluate the ability of the device to supply comparable stimuli to three conventional loading methods. Study results indicate the developed device is capable of producing similar wrist kinematics and forearm extensor muscle potential to all three conventional methods. Wrist motion during wrist extensions shows some differences though not statistically significant. The similar wrist kinematics and forearm extensor muscle electromyography produced while using the device support the need for further studies and development of the device's relevance in rehabilitation of LE.

description: The stratigraphy preserved in the Eocene Green River Formation provides key insights into the evolution of ancient Lake Uinta and the controls influencing sediment deposition and facies distribution. This study characterizes the stratigraphy of the middle to upper Green River Formation (transitional interval to the R8) in Gate Canyon, southcentral Uinta Basin, and Willow Creek/Indian Canyon, western Uinta Basin. The examined sections were deposited during and after early Eocene hyperthermal events that followed the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, allowing specific investigation of the transition between a pulsed, hyperthermal climate regime during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum to a period of climatic stability. Detailed outcrop and core descriptions along with paleocurrent data, thin sections, and X-ray fluorescence data reveal distinct suites of facies both spatially and temporally. Three evolutionary lake phases are suggested by the stratigraphy, from an overfilled basin (C1-Si.3), to a balanced-fill basin (C4-middle R8), to an underfilled basin (middle R8-saline facies). The facies of the first phase record a highly fluctuating lake with alternating carbonate and siliciclastic dominated packages that may be associated with Eocene hyperthermal events. The central portion of the basin contains a large proportion of coarser grained sandstone bodies, coarser grained carbonates, and microbialites whereas the western portion of the basin contains minor sandstone bodies, and abundant fine grained siliciclastic material and muddy carbonate units. The change in grain size from east to west represents a transition off the main depositional axis of a major deltaic system in the central portion of the basin to a more low energy, shallow lake margin setting. The stratigraphy of the second lake phase consists of organic-rich and poor carbonate mudstone, tuffs, and siltstone. These facies record a deep lacustrine environment, suggesting lake transgression as a result of the shift from a pulsed, hyperthermal climate regime to a period of climatic stability. The stratigraphy of the final lake phase consists of organic-rich and poor carbonate mudstone, tuffs, siltstone, minor sandstone, and saline deposits. These observations indicate lake regression and the eventual closing of Lake Uinta. Overall, this study seeks to link these regions to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the evolution of Lake Uinta.

description: Social media platforms offer unprecedented opportunities for connectivity and exchange of ideas; however, they also serve as fertile grounds for the dissemination of disinformation. Over the years, there has been a rise in state-sponsored campaigns aiming to spread disinformation and sway public opinion on sensitive topics through designated accounts, known as troll accounts. Past works on detecting accounts belonging to state-backed operations focus on a single campaign. While campaign-specific detection techniques are easier to build, there is no work done on developing systems that are campaign-agnostic and offer generalized detection of troll accounts unaffected by the biases of the specific campaign they belong to. In this paper, we identify several strategies adopted across different state actors and present a system that leverages them to detect accounts from previously unseen campaigns. We study 19 state-sponsored disinformation campaigns that took place on Twitter, originating from various countries. The strategies include sending automated messages through popular scheduling services, retweeting and sharing selective content and using fake versions of verified applications for pushing content. By translating these traits into a feature set, we build a machine learning-based classifier that can correctly identify up to 94% of accounts from unseen campaigns. Additionally, we run our system in the wild and find more accounts that could potentially belong to state-backed operations. We also present case studies to highlight the similarity between the accounts found by our system and those identified by Twitter.

I also discuss Laban movement analysis as a tool in finding an individual's authentic movement signature. In various chapters I reflect upon choreographic exercises I led which utilized repetition, memories and journaling as scores for improvisational exercises, and relate my struggles and observations in the creation of my final thesis piece. The research reveals ways of analyzing movement and discovering nuanced idiosyncrasies from dancers. Finally, I share how this project has changed my creative process as well as the impact it has on my future as an artist.

Study of coupled transport and its effect on different electrochemical systems: implications in high temperature energy storage batteries and proton exchange membrane fuel cells

description: Coupled transport is studied on two electrochemical systems: Na-ZnCl2 batteries and Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). The energy storage system of interest here is based on sodium P"-alumina solid electrolyte (BASE): Na/BASE/ZnCl2. BASE is an excellent Na+ conductor with a very high conductivity at 300oC. Its high Na+ ion conductivity and high stability are the principal reasons for its application in electrochemical storage systems. A novel vapor phase process was invented facilitating the fabrication of high strength and moisture/CO2 resistant BASE. A two-phase composite of alumina+YSZ is formed by sintering and exposed to Na2O vapor, keeping the activity of Na2O lower than that in NaAlO2. This prevents the formation of hygroscopic NaAlO2 at the grain boundaries. A thin layer of P"-alumina is formed on the surface upon exposure. Further reaction occurs by transporting Na+ ions through the formed P"-alumina and a parallel transport of O - ions through YSZ. This occurs by a coupled transport of Na through P"-alumina and O - ions through YSZ, thus expediting the process. The second electrochemical system of interest is PEMFC. The degradation mechanism of catalysts is studied using inexpensive copper particles. The mechanism of 2+ growth involves a coupled transport of Cu2+ through the aqueous medium and an electron transport through the direct particle-to-particle contact. Effect of applied stress on coarsening of platinum was also investigated. Two platinum wires/foils were immersed in a PtCl4+DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) solution. A tensile load was applied to one wire/foil and the other one was left load-free. The wire/foil subjected to a tensile load became cathodic with respect to the unstressed wire/foil. Thus, under a tensile stress, the chemical potential of Pt decreases. This result suggests design strategies for core-shell catalysts used in PEMFCs: stable core-shell catalysts for PEMFC with Pt shell should be designed such that the shell is under a tensile stress. Specific surface energies (y) of f.c.c. metals as a function of shape and size were investigated using the broken-bond model. y decreased with increasing particle size and approached asymptotic values beyond an equivalent diameter of ~5 nm. Octahedralshaped particles were the most stable.

One of these has an individual believed to have Addisonâ€™s disease.  In four other subjects assays were completely negative. c. Efforts to concentrate the protein content of urine by lyophilization and dialysis, by alkaline extraction of dried urine, by acetone precipitation, and by various protein precipitating agents, all failed.  Evidence is presented to indicate that these procedures could not be successful in concentrating spontaneously excreted ACTH.  d. The serum or plasma of four patients was assayed and found to be uniformly lacking in ACTH activity.  The protein content of plasma could be concentrated threefold by making up lyophilized plasma to one third its original volume .

Insulin signaling in the hearts of uncoupling protein three knockout mice on a high fat diet
Creators: name: Tidwell, Timothy James
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Insulin resistance

description: INTRODUCTION: People with diabetes are at high risk for cardiovascular  disease; which is the major cause of death in diabetics. Current research  suggests that excessive mitochondrial uncoupling is a potential mechanism for  cardiac dysfunction in diabetic patients. Uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) is an inner  mitochondrial membrane protein that reduces the amount of reactive oxygen  species (ROS) produced in the mitochondrial matrix by uncoupling the  mitochondria. Mice lacking UCP3 (UCP3KO) have been shown to accumulate  ROS and diacylglycerol in cardiac muscle. These two molecules have been  shown to induce insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. The goal of my project was  to determine if the absence of UCP3 in the heart will exacerbate diet-induced  insulin resistance in the murine heart. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Whole  heart homogenates were extracted from four groups of mice: (1) wild type (WT)  fed normal chow (NC); (2) WT fed a high fat diet for 10 weeks (HF); (3) UCP3KO  NC and (4) UCP3KO HF. Insulin signaling was examined using western-blotting  to assess the phosphorylation status of key components of the insulin signaling  pathway under non insulin and insulin-stimulated conditions in each group.  Values form each group were analyzed using an ANOVA followed by a t test to  determine any statistical significant differences between the groups. RESULTS:  Phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt) (at serine 473 or threonine 308) and the downstream target glycogen synthase kinase 3 p at serine 9 was the same  between all the groups. CONCLUSIONS: two major conclusions arise from this  work; ( 1 ) 1 0 weeks of high fat diet does not affect insulin signaling in the heart  and (2) despite increased ROS and DAG levels in the hearts of UCP3KO mice,  insulin sensitivity was maintained. We speculate that UCP3KO mice have  developed compensatory mechanisms that prevented the development of insulin  resistance despite accumulation of compounds known to induce insulin  resistance. These mechanisms remain to be determined in future studies.

We observed that rapid thermal annealing of tin (Sn)-rich co-sputtered CZTS films resulted in crystalline, hexagonal platelets of tin-disulfide (SnS2) 5-30 μm long at the surface of the film. In this work, the formation mechanisms of these surface crystallites and their implications for CZTS absorber layer processing were investigated. The formation and decomposition of these platelets were studied by observing the changes in their structural, morphological, compositional, and vibrational properties accompanying the imposition of lateral temperature gradients as well as different annealing atmospheres. The homogeneous co-sputtered films were annealed in a graphite boat in a quartz reactor using a base heater and halogen lamp. Interrupting annealings to examine stages of crystal formation showed at around 400 oC SnS2 began to form on the surface of films. Near the edges of the film, where temperatures were found to be higher, crystals melted into an amorphous unknown tin-sulfide phase. Diffusion of species from the film into the base of the crystals formed long CZTS grains of which the amorphous phase left behind as it coalesced. Annealing without sulfur (S) increased Sn and S losses from the film and increased the number of crystals nucleated on the surface of the film. For solar cell device applications of CZTS thin films, removal of these SnS2 iv surface crystallites is necessary; thus wet chemical and thermal decomposition etching techniques were studied. Wet etching attempts with KCN and NH4OH solutions did little to etch crystals. HCl solution damaged the CZTS film as much as the crystals and therefore was also unsuitable. Thermal etching by evacuating the chamber near the end of annealing transformed the SnS2 crystals into a grainy, S-poor Sn phase via the decomposition of SnS2 by removing the vapor species with which it is in equilibrium. Understanding the role of Sn species during annealing is important for the complex CZTS system because small deviations from Sn stoichiometry results in drastic changes in the secondary phases and microstructure of the film. The experiments and insight provided in this thesis represent unexplored unconventional methods toward CZTS growth and different approaches for CZTS processing for development of thin film solar cell technology.

Gold cyanide adsorption

description: The effect of particle size on gold adsorption and elution from activated carbon has been studied in alkaline solution, in order to understand the nature of gold losses on fine activated carbons, to improve the rate of gold recovery, and to develop an innovative way of treating preg-robbing gold ores. Four stripping techniques (atmospheric Zadra, syringe and press, syringe pump, and filter press elution methods) have been used to evaluate the effect of particle size, temperature, pressure, and strip solution composition on the desorption of gold cyanide from activated carbons. The atmospheric Zadra elution method was studied as a batch process using continuous (without solution replacement) and incremental solution replacement methods at atmospheric pressure and elevated temperatures. However, in the other three stripping methods, pressure was employed to force strip solutions through a bed of carbon placed in a syringe or filter press. In general the rates of adsorption and elution were found to increase with a decrease in particle size as expected. However, in the case of atmospheric Zadra stripping there were some anomalous results which seem to be related to the experimental procedure used. Pregrobbing ore was received, prepared, and leached using fine magnetic activated carbon (MAC) after which the MAC particles were separated by a wet high gradient magnetic separator. In this way almost 70% of the gold was recovered in less than 6 hours compared to previous CIL results, which indicated that about 55% of the gold could be recovered in 24 hours using granular activated carbon. In summary, it has been substantiated from this research that particle size, temperature, pressure and composition of the strip solution used in the elution process are factors that are interdependent in the influence they have on the elution of gold cyanide from activated carbons. These factors must all be set at their proper levels in order to maximize the rate and amount of gold desorbed from the loaded carbons. Finally, it has been shown that fine activated carbon particles can be loaded and stripped with ease and have some potential for the treatment of preg-robbing gold ores.

The effect of determining topography parameters on analyzing elastic contact between isotropic rough surfaces
Creators: name: Pawar, Gorakh
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: Elastic contact between two computer-generated isotropic rough surfaces is studied. First the surface topography parameters, including the asperity density, mean summit radius, and standard deviation of asperity heights of the equivalent rough surface, are determined using an 8-nearest neighbor summit identification scheme. Second, many cross-sections of the equivalent rough surface are traced and their individual topography parameters are determined from their corresponding spectral moments. The topography parameters are also obtained from the average spectral moments of all cross-sections. The asperity density is found to be the main difference between the summit identification scheme and the spectral moments method. The contact parameters, such as the number of contacting asperities, real area of contact, and contact load for any given separation between the equivalent rough surface and a rigid flat, are calculated by summing the contributions of all the contacting asperities using the summit identification model. These contact parameters are also obtained with the Greenwood-Williamson (GW) model using the topography parameters from each individual cross-section and from the average spectral moments of all cross-sections. Three different surfaces characterized by a different autocorrelation length, and three different sampling intervals were used to study how the method to determine topography parameters affects the resulting contact parameters. iv The contact parameters are found to vary significantly based on the method used to determine the topography parameters, and as a function of the autocorrelation length of the surface, as well as the sampling interval. The contact parameters evaluated with the summit identification model or the GW model based on topography parameters obtained from a summit identification scheme were most accurate as the actual three-dimensional (3D) rough surface is considered for the analysis instead of relying on limited data, e.g., a discrete number of cross-sections. Hence, using a summit identification model or the GW model based on topography parameters obtained from a summit identification scheme is perhaps the most reliable approach.

description: Unequal Error-Protecting (UEP) codes are error-correcting (EC) codes designed to protect some parts of the encoded data better than other parts. Here, we introduce a similar generalization of PIR codes that we call Unequal-Data-Demand (UDD) PIR codes. These codes are PIR-type codes designed for the scenario where some parts of the encoded data are in higher demand than other parts. We generalize various results for PIR codes to UDD codes. Our main contribution is a new approach to the Griesmer bound for linear EC codes involving an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problem that generalizes to linear UEP codes and linear UDD PIR codes.

description: We seek a systematic tightening method to represent the monogamy relation for some measure in multipartite quantum systems. By introducing a family of parametrized bounds, we obtain tighter lowering bounds for the monogamy relation compared with the most recently discovered relations. We provide detailed examples to illustrate why our bounds are better.
