description: Based on the knowledge that miRNAs are dysregulated in diseases such as cancer, there have been multiple attempts to develop miRNA-based cancer therapeutics. However, clinical delivery of the processed or mature miRNA to cancer cells still remains a challenge due to lack of efficient vehicles. To overcome this challenge, innovative methods are being explored to increase the pools of therapeutically relevant miRNAs. This is especially true for the tumor suppressive miRNA let-7 family. Loss of mature let-7, often observed in cancer, induces deregulation of oncogenes including KRAS, MYC, and HMGA2 allowing the cells to become tumorigenic. Therefore, it is important to restore the levels of let-7 prolonging cellular differentiation and suppressing cellular proliferation. We propose that let-7 levels can be restored (1) by enhancing let-7 biogenesis by small molecule regulators or (2) through targeted and efficient delivery of let-7 using a ligand-mediated delivery approach. We have conducted a cell-based high-throughput screen to identify small molecule regulators that increase let-7 activity. The screen was performed against 23,680 compounds. Compounds identified as positive hits were further evaluated to identify the mechanism involved in increasing let-7 activity. Interestingly, one of the compounds that specifically increased let-7 activity also regulated transcription of MYC, a key transcription factor in cancer development. In addition, using a relevant ligand:receptor pair that is specific to tumor cells, in this case folate and the folate receptor, folate conjugated let-7 was delivered to ovarian cancer cells, which overexpress the folate receptor. Through receptor-mediated endocytosis folate conjugated let-7 was internalized into cancer cells and downregulated its target. We have generated a second generation folate conjugate by intramolecularly attaching a small molecule ionophore to overcome one of the major challenges of ligand delivery; endosomal entrapment. Results from our study are expected to have significant positive impact in cancer treatment by providing new opportunities to advance the next phase of miRNA-based therapeutics.

Exploring The Trade Space for Two-Maneuver Transfers from Earth to Cislunar Libration Point Orbits
Creators: name: Cano, Ricardo Jose Gomez
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In recent times, as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) focuses on establishing a sustained presence in cislunar space, there has been an increase in planned missions to the cislunar vicinity for lunar exploration. Due to this increase in planned missions, the use of cislunar structures available in the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CRTBP) has become of greater interest. Traditionally, transfers that leverage CRTBP structures in the cislunar vicinity have been generated as point designs. As a consequence of the non-linearity of this model, transitioning these point designs to other epochs or mission scenarios is non-trivial. Hence, a trade space of transfer solutions, that leverage the underlying dynamics, is of interest for rapid mission design. In this study, numerical methods and dynamical systems theory are leveraged to extract available dynamical structures in the model, which are subsequently exploited for transfer design. A trade space of relatively low time of flight, two-maneuver transfers, from a 500 km altitude Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to the Earth-Moon L1 Lyapunov orbit family is generated and analyzed.

Investigating Metapopulation Responses to Landscape-Level Habitat Changes
Creators: name: Goldner, Jakob
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Landscape ecology

description: The study of landscape structure and configuration is firmly established as integral to the continued advancement of ecology. The configuration of resource patches can have far-reaching implications for biodiversity, metapopulation dynamics, community structure, and habitat quality. Human activities, such as forestry, agriculture, and residential construction alter patch configuration by breaking larger patches into smaller fragments. This frequently results in pronounced, unforeseen consequences for species. The fragmentation and shrinking of habitat patches can lead to changes in the environmental conditions within the remaining patches (e.g., degradation), prompting responses from local populations. These responses can, in turn, cause changes to the metapopulation structure on large spatial scale.
I examined the relationship between the degree of habitat fragmentation (edge density), and forewing lengths of the ebony jewelwing damselfly (Calopteryx maculata Beauvois, Odonata: Calopterygidae). I used correlated random walks to determine the biologically relevant landscape area over which forest fragmentation was calculated. Then, I used Moran’s I to determine the spatial scale of wing length response to fragmentation. I found that wing lengths increased with edge density. I also found that wing lengths were spatially autocorrelated at distances below 5 Km. These findings suggest that damselflies adapt to changes in forest fragmentation at a relatively small spatial scale.
Next, I assessed the slime mold Physarum polycephalum’s usefulness as a microcosm of dispersal in fragmented landscapes. Slime mold plasmodia were placed in dishes with oat patches of varying sizes and distances. The probability of each patch type being colonized first was compared to predictions of patch occupancy based on C. maculata. Patches that were nearer or larger were likely to be colonized before patches that were more distant, or smaller. Observed patch occupancy matched model predictions when only patch distance was varied, but not when patch size was varied. These results suggest that P. polycephalum has the potential to serve as a useful microcosm of dispersal in patchy landscapes. However, more testing is needed to develop the microcosm system.
Finally, a lesson plan was developed to teach high school students about the concepts of landscape ecology and connectivity. An emphasis was placed on using active learning techniques, which have been demonstrated to result in greater understanding than traditional lecture formats. The lesson plan incorporates an education boardgame, Humans & Habitats, that I developed to illustrate how the conflicting goals of resource managers impact habitat connectivity. It also incorporates a scientific inquiry activity that uses P. polycephalum to test predictions about the effect of altered connectivity. The lesson plan and materials will be available to members of the public, free of charge.

description: Cross-training has emerged as an effective method for increasing workforce
      flexibility in the face of uncertain demand. Despite recently receiving
      substantial attention in workforce planning literature, a number of
      challenges towards making the best use of cross-training remain. Most
      notably, approaches to automating the allocation of workers to their
      skills are typically not scalable to industrial sized problems. Secondly,
      insights into the nature of valuable cross-training actions are restricted
      to a small set of predefined structures.

      This thesis develops a multi-period cross-trained workforce planning model
      with temporal demand flexibility. Temporal demand flexibility enables the
      flow of incomplete work (or carryover ) across the planning horizon to be
      modelled, as well as an the option to utilise spare capacity by completing
      some work early. Set in a proposed Aggregate Planning stage, the model
      permits the planning of large and complex workforces over a horizon of
      many months and provides a bridge between the traditional Tactical and
      Operational stages of workforce planning. The performance of the different
      levels of planning flexibility the model offers is evaluated in an
      industry motivated case study. An extensive numerical study, under various
      supply and demand characteristics, leads to an evaluation of the value of
      cross-training as a supply strategy in this domain.

      The problem of effectively staffing a pre-fixed training structure (such
      as the modified chain or block) is an aspect of cross-training which has
      been extensively studied in the literature. In this thesis, we attempt to
      address the more frequently faced problem of ‘how should we train our
      existing workforce to improve demand coverage?’. We propose a two-stage
      stochastic programming model which extends existing literature by allowing
      the structure of cross-training to vary freely. The benefit of the
      resulting targeted training solutions are shown in application using a
      case study provided by BT. A wider numerical study highlights
      ‘rules-of-thumb’ for effective training solutions under a variety of
      characteristics for uncertain demand.
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ABA PEAKING TYPE DYNAMIC DURING LONG TERM DROUGHT

description: Plants rely on diverse strategies to regulate water loss during drought. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is a critical mediator of stomatal closure during water stress in seed plants. Studies in conifers identified diverging strategies in long-term drought of ABA-mediated dynamics, particularly a peaking type dynamic during long term drought in some conifers. Few studies have reported this dynamic in angiosperms, and no study has revealed the mechanism driving declines in ABA levels as drought progresses in peaking type species. To understand peaking type dynamics, we exposed the model peaking type gymnosperm species Callitris rhomboidea and the highly drought resistant evergreen angiosperm Umbellularia californica to controlled long-term drought. We measured leaf water potentials (Ψl), stomatal conductance, ABA and the ABA catabolite phaseic acid (PA) levels in potted plants during a prolonged but non-fatal drought. We aimed to determine which of three potential drivers of peaking type dynamic were responsible for this response: (1) increased catabolism of ABA into PA at a threshold Ψl , (2) ABA export from the leaf is enhanced under drought, and (3) ABA biosynthesis ceases at a threshold Ψl. During long term drought, the evergreen angiosperm species U. californica demonstrated peaking type ABA dynamics like gymnosperms. In both species, PA levels did not increase significantly, in fact, PA levels tracked ABA levels, suggesting that ABA catabolism to PA may be a function of ABA levels. Girdling experiments to determine whether export from the leaf drove declines in ABA levels demonstrated that of the majority of ABA was likely converted to ABA glucose ester (ABA-GE), an inactive storage form of ABA, and exported from shoots during drought. Finally, by rapidly dehydrating branched collected at different timepoints during long-term drought we were able to determine that ABA biosynthesis is completely down regulated in leaves that have been dehydrated beyond leaf turgor loss point. The decline in ABA levels in peaking type species appears conserved across seed plants and is mediated by high export rates in the form of ABA-GE. Future work should assess a more diverse selection of species as well as study long-term drought in less tolerant species to test whether ABA biosynthesis is deactivated in all species once Ψl declines below turgor loss point.

description: Increased phosphorus (P) loading from agricultural land has persistently been a major cause of eutrophication in many North American lakes. Cover crops (CC) improve soil health, increase soil organic matter, and effectively minimize total P losses via reduction of erosion and run-off from row crop agricultural fields but their efficacy regarding dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) loss has been contrasting and inconsistent in literature. The following studies were designed to gain in-depth understanding of the impact of long-term management of different CC species on soil P sorption and desorption, distribution, release, and loss in a Mollisol. The experimental site is a poorly drained silty clay loam soil with CC treatments consisting of cereal rye, Secale cereal L. (CR), annual ryegrass Lolium multiflorum (AR), oats / radish, Raphanus sativus L/Avena sativa (OR) grown in the same plots for 9 years and a control (CN) in a corn-soybean rotation. Results from these studies showed that long-term CC significantly decreased P sorption maximum but increased binding energy at 0 – 2 and 2 – 4 cm soil depths. Annual ryegrass significantly decreased soil WEP, M3P, and DPS relative to OR and CN at 0 – 2 cm depth. Annual ryegrass and CR significantly decreased DRP desorption by an average of 42 and 45% relative to CN and OR respectively at 0 – 2 cm soil depth. Data from the sequential chemical fractionation showed that OR and CR increased the labile P fraction by 1.5 times more than CN, but AR decrease this P fraction by 1.4 times less than the CN suggesting that AR assimilates less P into biomass thus returning less P into the soil P runoff interaction zone. Additionally, CR decreased the moderately and non-labile inorganic P pool by lowering soil pH leading to the dissolution of Ca bound phosphates. Furthermore, to investigate the impact of CC species tenure on the STP and WEP released from residue decomposition over time, an aerobic incubation was performed, and samples were collected and analyzed at 0, 12, 30, 54, 84 and 112 days. Incubation results demonstrated that M3P consistently decreased by over 40 and 50 % in long-term AR and CR respectively and increased by over 16% relative to CN. The WEP concentration decreased by > 20 % in long-term CR and AR and increased by >80% in long-term OR going from 54 to 84 days. All treatments in the short-term management were comparable to CN suggesting the dominance of legacy P effect. This study revealed that all CC species are not created equal. The consistent trend in my results demonstrates that in areas sensitive to DRP loss, farmers should make more restrictive selection of CC species to effectively decrease DRP loading to surrounding watersheds and the Maumee River watershed.

description:
This study investigates the relationships within information transparency in business-to-business (B2B) marketing and supply chain management, focusing on the interplay between transparency, trust, and credibility among supply chain (SC) actors and customers. Drawing from a cross-industry literature review, it synthesizes previous studies and utilizes contingency coefficients to explore the connections among various transparency constructs and their associated elements. Derived normative indications for innovation and regulation are informed by empirical findings. While emphasizing B2B marketing and SC literature, study emphasizes the significance of downstream transparency for customers and direct vertical transparency distribution in trust-building efforts. Notably, clear and accessible information regarding product, price, cost, and process is found to enhance transparency, subsequently influencing perceptions and attitudes. However, these transparency components alone are insufficient to address customer trust, innovation, and regulatory oversight. A key contribution lies in comprehensive analysis of transparency, encompassing all elements from established conceptual frameworks, and identifying associations across them. The application of empirical ethics to derive normative indications adds a novel dimension to the research. The findings explicate how information access impacts trust, innovation, and regulatory processes. Additionally, this research provides valuable guidance for policymakers and interest groups in evaluating transparency legislation holistically and within specific contexts.

description: As on 2017, US Energy Information Administration (US EIA) claims that 50 % of the total US energy consumption are contributed by Commercial and Industrial (C&I) end-users.Most of the energy consumption by these users is in the form of the electric power. Electric utilities, who usually supply the electric power, tend to care about the power consumption profiles of these users mainly because of the scale of consumption and their significant contributiontowards the system peak. Predicting and managing the peaks of C&I users is crucial both for the users themselves and for utility companies.In this research, we aim to understand and predict the daily peaks of individual C&I users. To empirically understand the statistical characteristics of the peaks, we perform an extensive exploratory data analysis using a real power consumption time series dataset. To accurately predict the peaks, we investigate indirect and direct learning approaches. In the indirect approach, daily peaks are identified after forecasting the entire time series for the day whereas in the direct approach, the daily peaks are directly predicted based on the historical data available for different users during different days of the week. The machine learning models used in this research are based on Simple Linear Regression (SLR), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN).

description: In this thesis, we proposed a deep learning based emotion recognition system in order to improve the successive classification rate. We first use transfer learning to extract visual features and use Mel frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCC) to extract audio features, and then apply the recurrent neural networks(RNN) with attention mechanism to process the sequential inputs. After that, the outputs of both channels are fused into a concatenate layer, which is processed using batch normalization, to reduce internal covariate shift. Finally, the classification result is obtained by the softmax layer. From our experiments, the video and audio subsystem achieve 78% and 77% respectively, and the feature fusion system with video and audio achieves 92% accuracy based on the RAVDESS dataset for eight emotion classes. Our proposed feature fusion system outperforms conventional methods in terms of classification prediction.

description: Most households in rural Africa are involved in smallholder farming, but off-farm employment is an important additional income source for many. Previous research has analyzed links between off-farm employment and wellbeing, but mostly at the household level, not considering that household members may be affected differently. In particular, gender gaps in employment, nutrition, and other wellbeing dimensions are widely observed. Here, we use survey data collected in Tanzania and Zambia to examine how women’s off-farm employment influences their individual-level dietary quality. Regression estimates with instrumental variables show that women’s off-farm employment improves their dietary diversity, including more frequent consumption of nutritious foods such as meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables. We also explore potential mechanisms, including changes in household income, women’s agency, and time allocation. The main results hold across various robustness checks, suggesting that improving women’s access to off-farm employment can help increase household income and reduce widespread gender gaps in rural Africa.

description: Offshore spring zooplankton biomass in northern Lake Michigan is currently dominated by calanoid copepods and lacking in cyclopoid copepod biomass, which is a preferred prey type for larval coregonids in the Great Lakes. As such, we survey nearshore beach zooplankton to determine if nearshore environments are following offshore trends and describe larval coregonid diets and prey selectivity during spring 2015-2019. Copepod nauplii and calanoid copepods were the most abundant prey types in the nearshore beach environments, and although larvae did not consume copepod nauplii, larvae did incorporate substantial later life stages of calanoid copepods into their diet. Additionally, larvae exhibited positive selectivity for both calanoid and cyclopoid copepods. High consumption of and selectivity for calanoid copepods in small larval coregonids is not a common observation in the Great Lakes, as previous diets of small larvae have been comprised of mainly cyclopoid copepods and cladocerans. Future research into the foraging costs and nutritional benefits of larval diets with differing ratios of cyclopoid to calanoid biomass should be investigated to understand the potential impacts of differing diets on larval growth and survival. Many species of larval fish in Lakes Michigan and Huron experience a prolonged offshore pelagic stage as during early life, but environmental conditions in offshore environments have changed in the past quarter century. Under current conditions, offshore habitats may be unsuitable for larval fish, given recent increases in offshore water clarity and decreases in offshore primary production and zooplankton biomass in both lakes. To evaluate habitat suitability for larval fish, we characterized ambient environmental conditions using data streams from multiple high frequency sensors to develop growth rate potential models as an index of habitat quality of nearshore-offshore transects in central Lake Michigan and southern Lake Huron. Since temperature regimes differ throughout the summer, we compare habitat quality throughout the summer for larval yellow perch and smelt, two species that have demonstrated offshore pelagic stages as larvae. Early in the summer, high habitat quality was concentrated nearshore, while later in the summer high habitat quality was concentrated near the thermocline, at depths where larvae are unlikely to inhabit due to limited swimming ability. The offshore (15-60 m depth contour) surface waters of both lakes provide poor habitat quality in May and July, although the surface waters of transects collected during June in southern Lake Huron provided high quality habitat at all distances from shore. These results suggest that offshore advection and prolonged offshore pelagic stage duration during early life of fish could contribute to decreased growth and survival of larval fish in lakes Michigan and Huron.

description: Kinderpartizipation: Ein wichtiger Begriff für die Soziale Arbeit, von dem die Fachpersonen jedoch unterschiedliche Vorstellungen haben. Entsprechend verschiedenartig werden parti-zipative Prozesse mit Kindern gestaltet. Diese reichen von Veranstaltungen, bei denen sich die Kinder auch mal äussern dürfen, dabei von Erwachsenen aber mehrheitlich für niedlich befunden und belächelt werden, bis hin zu ernstzunehmenden Beteiligungen aufgrund einer entsprechenden Grundhaltung der Initiantinnen und Initianten. Eine ernsthafte Beteiligung von Kindern entpuppt sich jedoch nicht bloss aufgrund deren Entwicklungsstände häufig als äusserst anspruchsvoll, sondern sorgt im Weiteren für eine Verrückung der Machtverhältnisse. Dadurch wiederum sehen sich die Erwachsenen mit einer Einschränkung ihrer Entscheidungsbefugnis konfrontiert, welche nicht alle zuzulassen bereit sind. Vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet die Thematik der Kinderpartizipation aus Sicht der Sozialarbeit und der Soziokulturellen Animation. Beide Professionen verpflichten sich der Förderung der Demokratie und des Schaffens eines gesellschaftlichen Ausgleichs und werden daher zwangsläufig immer wieder mit besagter Thematik konfrontiert (werden). Die Arbeit geht in erster Linie der Frage nach, wo Kinderpartizipation in der Sozialen Arbeit bereits umgesetzt wird und welche Möglichkeiten und Risiken sich bei der Umsetzung erge-ben.

Impact of consumption of a Mediterranean-style eating pattern including modified protein sources on plasma lipid profiles and health status markers in moderately obese middle-aged adults
Creators: name: Foster, James Patrick
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Nutritional science

description: Regardless of protein source, consumption of the MED diet showed profound effects on FA proportions in plasma phospholipid and triglyceride fractions. The phospholipid fraction showed increases in mol percentage proportions for oleic acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), total monounsaturated FA (MUFA), and total omega-3 FA. The phospholipid fraction showed decreases in mol percentage proportions for linoleic acid (LA) and the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 FA. The triglyceride fraction showed increases in mol percentage proportions for oleic acid, DHA, and total omega-3 FA. The triglyceride fraction showed decreases in mol percentage proportions for palmitic acid, LA, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), total saturated FA, total omega-6 FA, and the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 FA. Based on the observed changes and correlations between the blood plasma fatty acid proportions and the final lipoprotein values, we conclude that both the amounts in the diet of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated FA and the specific composition impacted improvements in risk factors for CVD observed with consumption of the MED diet

Biomedical Lay Summarization Using Pre-Trained Adapters
Creators: name: Dwarampudi, Veera Surya Sandeep Reddy
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2025

description: There is growing interest among the general public in accessing biomedical literature to find treatments and causes of common health problems or to read about significant global topics like disease outbreaks. However, the technical language and complex concepts can be difficult to understand for those without a background in the field. Despite advancements in general English lay summarization driven by large language models (LLMs), progress in the biomedical domain has been limited. Challenges include knowledge grounding, establishing correct relationships between entities, and discerning between abbreviations, synonyms, homographs, and hyponyms specific to the biomedical domain. To address these challenges, we developed an efficient model to simplify complex biomedical text by introducing custom adapter blocks into pre-trained language models (PLMs) and implementing a specific pre-training strategy for these adapters using distinct biomedical knowledge sources. We used two publicly available datasets, PLABA and PLOS, to evaluate the effectiveness of our models. Our findings indicate that incorporating external knowledge significantly improves lay summarization, particularly in generating readable text and clarifying technical concepts.

Sport, religion and cultural pluralism: the multiple forms of contrast to the ethnic-confessional discrimination
ABSTRACT: The article deals with the theme of recognizing and regulating identity and diversity in sport with a focus on religious element and the recent and gradual change of attitude of sports federations with respect to it, moving slowly from the time of secularity-neutrality in sport to the recognition of the athlete's religious identity. The second part of the paper examines the theme of ethnic-confessional discrimination in sporting practice and analyzes the European normative and institutional instruments for contrasting discriminatory behavior and the prospects for this action coordination, also taking into account the birth of the “c.d. Ius soli sportivo” (Law 20 January 2016 No. 12) in Italy, a great innovation for a Country as ours still argues, at the level of citizenship, in a logic of “ius sanguinis”

ABSTRACT: In France, the principle of separation between State and religious denominations, established in reference to public buildings by Article 28 of Law 1905, does not prohibit the presence of a Christmas crib within a municipal building. The Nativity scene is authorized provided that, in general, this facility does not express any form of religious proselytism or recognition of a cult, but a cultural, artistic or festive event forming part of the celebrations planned for Christmas; if the building in question is the headquarters of a territorial organization or a public service, representation, in order to be authorized, must meet particular requirements, for example, in local historical traditions.

description: In pattern recognition-based myoelectric control several robustness problems are well known. Different positions of the upper limbs and donning and doffing cause unintended electrode shifts (pistoning) with adverse effects on classification accuracy. To our knowledge the shift of the socket with respect to bony structures has never been assessed. We developed a set up to measure the shift of the socket with ultrasound and 3 D motion capture system in trans-radial amputees. We got obtained accuracy values with .655 mm for our set up. A pilot measurement showed high reliability and a displacement of the socket around 2 mm. We are going to conduct further test measurements and develop parameters to distinguish longitudinal and perpendicular shift of the socket. In future works pistoning parameter should be considered in order improve pattern recognition based myoelectric control.
