Acculturation and Causes of Death Among Filipinos in the US: Focus on Cancer
Creators: name: Reyes, Abegail Terso
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Filipinos in the US are 3.4 million, yet the main causes of death among this primarily immigrant population have not been well characterized nor compared with the mortality experience of their counterparts in the Philippines.  Age-adjusted mortality rates were computed for the main causes of death for three populations: Filipinos living in the Philippines (FPHs), Filipinos living in California (FCAs), and non-Hispanic whites in California (WCAs). Regression-derived mortality rate ratios stratified by sex were used to compare the populations, using WCA as the referent population. Included causes of death were ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer and chronic lower respiratory disease, as well as two common causes of death in the Philippines, pneumonia and tuberculosis. For cancer, the four most common cancer mortality sites and cervical cancer were examined.
         A total of 858,388 FPH, 256,395 WCA, and 9,280 FCA decedents were analyzed. In the US, cancer was the leading cause of death for Filipinos of both sexes, while in the Philippines, it was fourth after ischemic heart disease, pneumonia and stroke. For all cancers combined, no significant differences in mortality were recorded between Filipinos in CA and in the Philippines (p>0.05); however, patterns varied by cancer site. For liver, prostate and cervical cancers, FPHs fared considerably worse than FCAs, while for lung cancer among women, FCA had a 56% (95%CI 1.20-2.02) higher risk of death than FPH.
         Overall, mortality rates from the major causes of death are much lower among FCAs than FPHs, suggesting that Filipinos in CA benefit substantially from living in the US in terms of health outcomes and life expectancy. Access to a more developed health care infrastructure, effective prevention programs, and better treatment opportunities likely explain the lower mortality rates in the US for ischemic heart disease, stroke and infectious diseases. However, the differences in cancer between the two populations are not as striking as for other causes of death, with differences in the prevalence of risk factors, including obesity, smoking, fertility patterns, and Hepatitis B impacting cancer rates. Risk factor interventions in the US and enhancing the health infrastructure in the Philippines should result in health gains for Filipinos on both sides of the Pacific.

Creators: name: Sheehy, Erin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Community stakeholders provided insight to their local neighborhoods and shared their thoughts about the potential redevelopment of their neighborhoods. This study utilized data from the Southern Nevada Strong ethnographic research project. Ethnographic research was conducted over ten weeks in Summer 2013. Neighborhood observations and interviews with community stakeholders were conducted to understand how neighborhoods are utilized, how residents feel about potential redevelopment, and what areas of the neighborhoods residents would like to see improved in the future. Photographs were also collected to further examine the characteristics, aesthetics, and spatial landscape of the neighborhoods. The purpose of this qualitative research project was to understand how community stakeholders feel about potential improvements to their neighborhoods and how they envision the future of their community for residents, business owners, employees, and students of the Gibson Road and Boulder Highway neighborhoods located in Southern Nevada. The goal of this research project was to provide an in-depth analysis of the Gibson Road and Boulder Highway neighborhoods.
Key findings included safety, built environment, social environment, economic conditions, and social capital.

description: Purpose: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are an attractive tool for treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Syndecan-2/CD362 has been identified as a functional marker for MSC isolation. Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) allows for the characterization of therapeutic responses in the left ventricle. This study aims to investigate whether IMS can assess the therapeutic effect of CD362+-selected MSC on early onset experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy. Experimental Design: 1 × 106 wild type (WT), CD362−, or CD362+ MSC are intravenously injected into db/db mice. Four weeks later, mice are hemodynamically characterized and subsequently sacrificed for IMS combined with bottom-up mass spectrometry, and isoform and phosphorylation analyses of cardiac titin. Results: Overall alterations of the cardiac proteome signatures, especially titin, are observed in db/db compared to control mice. Interestingly, only CD362+ MSC can overcome the reduced titin intensity distribution and shifts the isoform ratio toward the more compliant N2BA form. In contrast, WT and CD362− MSCs improve all-titin phosphorylation and protein kinase G activity, which is reflected in an improvement in diastolic performance. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: IMS enables the characterization of differences in titin intensity distribution following MSC application. However, further analysis of titin phosphorylation is needed to allow for the assessment of the therapeutic efficacy of MSC.

In Vitro Efficacy of Combined Macrophage-Mediated Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy and Chemotherapeutic Agents
Creators: name: Shih, En Chung
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: Although both chemotherapy and hyperthermia therapy have their inherent advantages, the non-specific targeting of chemotherapy and ineffectiveness of hyperthermia therapy alone suggests a better method can be developed. To overcome this problem, the combined treatment of chemotherapeutic agents with plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) is proposed. This is the first study to investigate the efficacy of combined chemotherapy and PPTT using monocytes as delivery vehicles for gold nanoshells. The results of this investigation shows that PPTT combined with cisplatin resulted in some degree of synergism while additive effects were observed for concurrent treatments of PPTT and doxorubicin and PPTT and bleomycin.

Response-Aided Score-Matching Approaches for Big Data Analysis under Generalized Linear Models
Creators: name: Zheng, Duo
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this thesis, we propose an efficient method called Response-Aided Score Matching Representative (RASMR) approach to facilitate the big data analysis under generalized linear models. This method utilizes representatives of natural or algorithmically generated data blocks to produce estimates of parameters. The RASMR improves the performance and stability of previous generation Score-Matching Representative (SMR) proposed by Li and Yang (2018) by imposing additional response-aided split on data blocks to resolve the multiple solution issue of the score-matching function. The renovation in RASMR ensures the uniqueness of representatives for each data block and improves the quality of representatives. We propose additional modification to resolve problems in practical implementations of RASMR, including delta-ratio split for likelihood function value approximation, exponential learning rate decay for forced convergence and K-means clustering and correlation-based quantile spilt for quick data blocking. The accurate estimation and high quality representatives enable promising application of RAMSR in a variety of statistical analysis problems. The RASMR estimate of AIC or BIC was developed for model comparison on big data. We create a compound strategy for variable selection using RASMR and extend RASMR to the V-fold cross-validation framework to conduct more general evaluation of metrics. As an illustration, we apply our RASMR method with its extensions on a benchmark big data, the Airline On-time Performance data.

Polaron effects on the dc- and ac-tunneling characteristics of molecular Josephson junctions

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the interplay of polaronic effect and superconductivity in transport through molecular Josephson junctions. The tunneling rates of electrons are dominated by vibronic replicas of the superconducting gap, which show up as prominent features in the differential conductance for the dc and ac current. For relatively large molecule-lead coupling, a features that appears when the Josephson frequency matches the vibron frequency can be identified with an over-the-gap structure observed by Marchenkov et al. [Nat. Nanotech. 2, 481 (2007)]. However, we are more concerned with the weak-coupling limit, where resonant tunneling through the molecular level dominates. We find that certain features involving both Andreev reflection and vibron emission show an unusual shift of the bias voltage V at their maximum with the gate voltage V_g as V ~ (2/3) V_g. Moreover, due to the polaronic effect, the ac Josephson current shows a phase shift of pi when the bias eV is increased by one vibronic energy quantum hbar omega_v. This distinctive even-odd effect is explained in terms of the different sign of the coupling to vibrons of electrons and of Andreev-reflected holes.

description: Au travers de deux cas d’étude issus de l’archéologie préventive, cet article a pour objectif d’évaluer le potentiel bioarchéologique des micro-fossiles non-polliniques (MNP). Ils correspondent à des formes de résistance et de dissémination issus des cinq règnes du vivant. Associés à l’analyse des grains de pollen et des spores de végétaux, les premiers résultats obtenus sur les sites de Villeneuve-sur-Lot et de Lavau démontrent leur intérêt tant les informations qu’ils peuvent apporter sont nombreuses sur les plans paléoenvironnemental, paléoécologique, géoarchéologique ou taphonomique. Ces deux exemples arguent donc en faveur d’une analyse systématique de ces MNP en contexte archéologique comme c’est le cas pour les recherches palynologiques menées en contextes naturels.
description: This article aims to evaluate the bioarchaeological potential of non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP) through two case studies from preventive archaeology. These NPP correspond to different dissemination or resting materials produced by organisms from the five kingdoms of life. Combined with the analysis of pollen grains, the first results obtained at Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Lavau sites demonstrate the high value of NPP as they provide significant palaeoenvironmental, palaeoecological, geoarchaeological and taphonomic informations. These two examples therefore argue in favour of a systematic analysis of NPP also in archaeological contexts and not only in natural sedimentary sequences.

title: Local government records management: a case study of Bellingham, WA
Creators: name: Magee, Katherine
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
While many authors have compiled guides and treatises on records management in general, employees of local governments such as counties and cities have a scarcity of sources to reference. Despite many local governments falling under the purview of their state archives or equivalent, specialized, practical guides in applying records management principles in today’s economic climate are crucial to the success of a local government’s records program. This thesis compares the writings of several authors on records management theory, including some writings specially tailored to local government records management. This comparison reveals similarities running throughout all the authors’ works, even in those from the beginnings of the field in the United States. The City of Bellingham, Washington is used as a case study to examine the situation of a local government’s records program under increasingly difficult operating restrictions. An overview of the different departments’ knowledge of records management requirements and existing recordkeeping practices reveals crucial areas that need to be addressed both for the City of Bellingham and in local government records management theory.

title: Parent-Managed Social Media Profiles for Children
Creators: name: Smith, Rae
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This proposed study aims to examine the phenomena of parents who preemptively create and manage social media accounts for their young children who are not yet able to use or manage these accounts themselves. According to a nationwide survey conducted by Gerber.com of more than 1,000 moms with kids under two, “close to 40 percent of moms aged 18 to 34 created social media accounts for their baby before the child’s first birthday, and another 7 percent made one before their child’s second birthday” (Dubin, 2016). The reasons and motivations cited by parents may vary, from wanting to create a personal identity separate from their children, to wanting to reserve a social media handle for their child’s name (Shea, 2016). This proposal examines the communicative, cultural, and social contexts that may lead parents to this decision, while acknowledging the benefits and risks associated with families’ use of social media. It reviews literature on the management of children’s online identities, parental control, children’s privacy rights and public autonomy, and permission issues. Utilizing the communication privacy management theory, it considers possible tensions that may arise between parents and children as an intergenerational dynamic when disclosing personal information online. It then proposes a longitudinal study to determine the long-term effects on the parent-child relationship, and especially on the children who will have grown up with a public online accounting of their life from a very young age. As social media’s aptitude as a culture-shifting communication tool continues to expand, so does its potential for intergenerational impact on parents and their children. As its use becomes more common among all stages of the lifespan, it will become vital to policy makers and web developers to understand the long-term impact of these early-aged accounts.

description: Objective: Precision cancer medicine (PCM) aims at identifying tumor-driving molecular characteristics to improve therapy. Despite early successes for some cancers, the approach faces manifold challenges. Patients undergoing extensive molecular diagnostics (MD) may hope for personal benefit, although chances are small. In order to offer suitable support to this group, health-care professionals need to gain insight into patients' experience. Thus, this study sought to explore the expectations of cancer patients undergoing MD of their tumor. Methods: In two German Comprehensive Cancer Centers, 30 patients with advanced-stage cancer who had exhausted conventional treatment and had consented to extensive, research-oriented MD (whole-genome sequencing n = 24, panel sequencing n = 6) participated in semi-structured interviews. Following thematic content analysis by Kuckartz, the interview transcripts were coded for expectations of MD participation and topics closely related. Moreover, patients completed questionnaires on their sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, and psychosocial distress. Results: Patients reported to be expecting (a) an improvement of their treatment, (b) a contribution to research, and/or (c) additional insight to their own cancer. Further, they described to feel individually appreciated and to have a reason to maintain hope for cure or recovery by participating in MD. Conclusions: Molecular diagnostics participation led patients to feel treated in a more “personalized” way, allowing them a greater sense of control in their situation of severe illness. Oncologists and psycho-oncologists need to ensure comprehensive information and empathetic support for patients undergoing extensive MD to balance their expectations and actual chances of clinical benefit.

Η παγκοσμιοποίηση, το διαδίκτυο και οι νέες τεχνολογίες επηρεάζουν αναπόφευκτα την αντίληψη για τον τόπο και ως επέκταση την εικόνα της σύγχρονης πόλης και τη ψυχοσύνθεση του ατόμου που ζει σε αυτή.
Σε μια προσπάθεια κατανόησης του «είναι» του ανθρώπου σε μια σύγχρονη μητρόπολη, αναζητούνται τα πηγαία στοιχεία της χωρικής αντίληψης, της αίσθησης και της ψυχολογίας του. Έτσι αποσκοπείται να δημιουργηθεί ένα λεξιλόγιο εργαλείων, τόσο για την κατανόηση αυτών των στοιχείων, όσο και για το χωρικό σχεδιασμό που θα συμβάλει στη βελτίωση της φυσιογνωμίας της πόλης και στην ενεργοποίηση της διάθεσης του περιπατητή στο να την ανακαλύψει.
   Ερευνητικό πεδίο γίνεται το Εμπορικό Τρίγωνο της Αθήνας, που ως πυρήνας της ελληνικής μητρόπολης βιώνει έντονα το άγγιγμα της παγκοσμιοποίησης και τείνει προς τη Γενική Πόλη που περιγράφει ο Rem Koolhaas. Με μοντέλο τον κύκλο του ήρωα, ο αστικός χώρος μετατρέπεται σε σκηνικό, όπου τα άτομα είναι πρωταγωνιστές και μέρος του εκθέματος. Ελαφριές επεμβάσεις, διάτρητες και αναστρέψιμες, χρωματισμένοι αρνητικοί όγκοι, έργα τέχνης και πράσινες επιφάνειες δημιουργούν ίχνη τόπων, καλώντας τον περαστικό να διαδράσει μαζί τους σε μια προσπάθεια ανάδειξης της αίσθησης της πόλης. Μετά από κάποιο χρονικό διάστημα προτείνεται η αφαίρεση των επεμβάσεων και η εξαγωγή ερωτηματολογίων αναφορικά με τον τρόπο που αυτές επέδρασαν στον ψυχισμό των ατόμων.

In this RGB component of color image are converted to YCbCr before DCT transform is applied. Y is luminance component;Cb and Cr are chrominance components of the image. The modification of the image data is done based on the classification of image blocks to edge blocks and non-edge blocks, then the edge block of the image is compressed with low compression and the nonedge blocks is compressed with high compression. The analysis results have indicated that the performance of the suggested method is much better, where the constructed images are less distorted and compressed with higher factor.

description: The Surface Detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory can detect neutrinos with energy between 10^17 eV and 10^20 eV from point-like sources across the sky south of +55 deg and north of -65 deg declinations. A search has been performed for highly inclined extensive air showers produced by the interaction of neutrinos of all flavours in the atmosphere (downward-going neutrinos), and by the decay of tau leptons originating from tau neutrinos interactions in the Earth's crust (Earth-skimming neutrinos). No candidate neutrinos have been found in data up to 2010 May 31. This corresponds to an equivalent exposure of ~3.5 years of a full surface detector array for the Earth-skimming channel and ~2 years for the downward-going channel. An improved upper limit on the diffuse flux of tau neutrinos has been derived. Upper limits on the neutrino flux from point-like sources have been derived as a function of the source declination. Assuming a differential neutrino flux k_PS E^-2 from a point-like source, 90% C.L. upper limits for k_PS at the level of ~5 x 10^-7 and 2.5 x 10^-6 GeV cm^-2 s^-1 have been obtained over a broad range of declinations from the searches of Earth-skimming and downward-going neutrinos, respectively.

description: We explore bright-light control of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) in the shunted configuration (a practical measure to avoid latching). In an experiment, we simulate an illumination pattern the SNSPD would receive in a typical quantum key distribution system under hacking attack. We show that it effectively blinds and controls the SNSPD. The transient blinding illumination lasts for a fraction of a microsecond and produces several deterministic fake clicks during this time. This attack does not lead to elevated timing jitter in the spoofed output pulse, and hence does not introduce significant errors. Five different SNSPD chip designs were tested. We consider possible countermeasures to this attack.

Advocating for open research within your institution: Lessons learned from EROS

open science working group

description: In this session, I will reflect on lessons learned from 5 years of leading an institutional open research working group, EROS (Education Researchers for Open Science and scholarship). While many advocates of open and reproducible research find support from informal external networks, practising open research can be a lonely business within one’s institution; EROS developed as a response to the need to create a home research environment that was not only aware of, but supportive of open research practices. In its current state, EROS aims to serve as an “open research incubator” by ensuring researchers, and particularly early career researchers, receive support, mentoring and access to training and infrastructure needed to incorporate open research practices in their work from the early stages. In reflecting on EROS’ development, I will highlight ways to get a local group started, and consider how to identify priorities for change within your organization and develop a consensus on what actions to take. I’ll also consider strategies to enlist allies across the university and leverage support from the wider research environment by linking open research outcomes to existing institutional. priorities. Finally, despite EROS’ successes in raising awareness, building community and changing internal policies, core challenges in embedding open research practices remain. I’ll conclude by considering how to maintain momentum, manage administrative burdens, and embed changes so that they are sustainable.

title: A Branch and Bound Method for Sum of Completion Permutation Flow Shop
Creators: name: Kodimala, Swapna
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: We present a new branch and bound algorithm for solving three machine permutation flow shop problem where the optimization criterion is the minimization of sum of completion times of all the jobs. The permutation flow shop problem (F||∑Ci ) belongs to the class of NP-hard problems; finding the optimal solution is thus expected to be highly computational. For each solution our scheme gives an approximation ratio and finds near optimal solutions. Computational results for up to 20 jobs are given for 3 machine flow shop problem when the objective is minimizing the sum of completion times. The thesis also discusses a number of related but easier flow shop problems where polynomial optimization algorithms exist.

Development of a Molecular Method for Detecting the Causative Agent of Swimmer's Itch (Trichobilharzia) in Freshwater Ecosystems
Creators: name: Mcmaster, Heidi
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Cercarial dermatitis, commonly known as swimmer's itch, is caused by penetration of larvae of the schistosome,Trichobilharzia, into the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin. Symptoms are characterized by painful swelling and itching at the site of penetration. The normal hosts for the life cycle of the schistosome are aquatic birds and aquatic snails. The most frequently used method of detection forTrichobilharziais microscopy. With increases in the occurrence of cercarial dermatitis outbreaks in freshwater in the Southwestern United States, it is becoming increasingly important to develop and standardize a molecular method for rapid detection that can assist health professionals and those who monitor public freshwater recreation systems. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a genus-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the detection ofTrichobilharziaparasites in public freshwater systems. A literature search was completed to gather existing published material, and the DNA sequence database was searched to design and test potential primers and probes. The PCR assay primers and probes were developed, tested and optimized and used successfully to detect reference strains ofTrichobilharziaspecies. The method was then used to test for the presence ofTrichobilharziaschistosomes in surface grab samples and aquatic snails collected from Lake Mohave (AZ-NV). None of the water or snail samples tested with the primers and probes resulted in amplification. While the field collected samples did not yield any positive PCR results, it remains important to understand temporal and spatial patterns ofTrichobilharziaprevalence in order to provide a better understanding of risks for exposure periods during the year.
Development of a Miniature Sensor for Point-Of-Care Determination of Mercury

description: Mercury is toxic to human health. There are three different mercury species: metallic, inorganic and organic. They cause mostly neurological insults. In developing countries, subsistence gold mining entails mixing metallic mercury with crushed sediments to separate gold; highly volatile, mercury can be absorbed through inhalation. The US federal BEI is currently set at 50 ppb (μg/L) for urine. Metallic mercury is oxidized to mercuric mercury in the blood stream. This form is mainly excreted in urine and faeces. Urine analysis can detect mercury and levels can be correlated with toxic effects. The current gold standard analytical methods are AAS and ICP-MS, which are expensive, take some time, and not available in countries where testing is needed. Electrochemical techniques can reduce costs and time. Point-of-care sensors for detection of inorganic mercury concentration in urine could help providing rapid and effective treatment. This project will focus on developing and optimizing a point-of-care electrochemical system to detect mercury levels using gold sensors, then on its validation with human urine samples. The advantages will be the use of disposable sensors and portable instrument, rather than an expensive laboratory-based system.

description: HSCT is curative in SCD. Patients with HLA-identical sibling donor have an excellent outcome ranging from 90%-100% overall and event-free survival. However, due to the lack of matched sibling donors this option is out of reach for 70% of patients with SCD. The pool of potential donors needs to be extended. Transplantations from HLA-matched unrelated donors were reported to be less successful with shorter event-free survival and higher incidences of complications including graft-vs-host disease, especially in patients with advanced stage SCD. Here we report transplantation outcomes for 25 children with SCD transplanted using HLA-matched grafts from related or unrelated donors. Overall survival was 100% with no severe (grade III-IV) graft-vs-host disease and a 12% rejection rate. Mixed donor chimerisms only occurred in transplantations from siblings, while transplantations from unrelated donors resulted in either complete donor chimerism or rejection. Despite the small patient number, overall and disease-free survival for unrelated donor transplantations is excellent in this cohort. The advanced disease state, higher alloreactive effect and stronger immunosuppression in unrelated donor transplantations raises patient risk, for which possible solutions could be found in optimization of transplant preparation, graft manipulation or haploidentical transplantation using T cell receptor α/β-depleted grafts.
