description: Agricultural drainage ditches are uncropped areas on farms located above high-water tables to assist in the hydrologic control of croplands. Drainage ditches have increasingly become the subject of research as sources of beneficial arthropods for agroecosystems. Spiders, the most common generalist predator in most field crops, are an important component of conservation biocontrol, but little is known of spider assemblages in drainage ditches or the extent they colonize adjacent croplands from these ditches. To better understand the composition and population dynamics of spider assemblages in drainage ditches, my objectives were (1) to assess the structure of spider assemblages inhabiting drainage ditches in Maryland and (2) to determine how spider assemblages in drainage ditches and adjacent soybean fields change throughout the soybean growth cycle. Overall, my work contributes to understanding how valuable drainage ditches are as habitats for natural enemies like spiders and how ditches influence spider assemblages in adjacent croplands.

description: The golden lion tamarin is an endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. In the 1970’s, their population was only a few hundred individuals due to anthropogenic reasons, such as fragmentation, deforestation, poaching and hunting. Over time with conservation measures, their population grew, and is currently around 2,516 individuals. This number, however, is not stable. As a major highway, BR-101, continues to widen, populations of golden lion tamarins continue to be isolated, resulting in inbreeding and lack of allele transfer. Golden lion tamarins are known to avoid crossing roads, so an alternate solution must be implemented. That alternate solution is a wildlife crossing. Building a wildlife crossing over BR-101 to connect currently isolated populations of golden lion tamarins will allow for genetic exchange and will eventually stabilize the golden lion tamarin population.

description: The mycobacteriosis epizootic in Chesapeake Bay Atlantic striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is a concern for management because disease-associated mortality can negatively impact the coast-wide stock and its fisheries. As such, it is important to understand environmental drivers of disease dynamics and the consequences of increased disease-associated natural mortality on management reference points. Generalized linear models of fish health survey data collected in Maryland suggest water temperature, hypoxic volume, and fish condition influence disease presence in pre-migratory fish, and hypoxic volume, temperature, condition, age, and sex influence disease severity. Mortality approximately doubled across the range of hypoxic volume and temperature examined. A novel approach to calculating spawning potential ratio was explored to demonstrate the effect of increased natural mortality and compensation assumptions on resulting reference points, yield, and spawning biomass. This work suggests striped bass recovery may require the adoption of more conservative reference points in light of increased natural mortality.

description: Tourism is acts as an engine for growth by generating foreign exchange earnings and direct and indirect employment.  The Draft Tourism Policy 1997 sees the emergence of tourism as a key tool for sustainable human development including poverty alleviation and employment generation. Empowerment is the most discussed issue in the present scenario in all spheres of human life. In most developing countries, gender inequality and discrimination are major obstacles to development.  As many tourism studies have made an important connection between tourism, social development and women's empowerment, the UN has created an important political agenda to research and work on issues in this area.

        Significant attention has been paid to the role of tourism in promoting gender equality, increasing women's employment and improving their incomes.  Economic empowerment of women through tourism can be well gauged by the percentage share of female workforce in India's tourism sectors. The total percentage share of women workers in the tourism sector is 34, which is higher than the total percentage of women workers in other sectors. There is a lot of scope for empowering women in the tourism sector with very little investment. Tourism is vast scope for women empowerment in both formal and informal sectors of tourism.

description: Wheat is a staple food for 35% of the world’s population, providing more calories and protein to the world’s diet than any other crop. Wheat rust diseases cause yield losses worth billions of dollars annually. Two rust resistance genes, Lr57 and Yr40, conferring leaf rust and stripe rust resistance, respectively, were previously identified in a wild wheat relative, Aegilops geniculata. Mapping these genes within a wheat background is typically impossible, due to the absence of genetic recombination between wheat and wild species chromatin. We devised a novel technique to overcome this barrier, developing a mapping population from a cross between a resistant Ae. geniculata-wheat introgression line and a susceptible Ae. geniculata disomic addition line. Genotyping and phenotyping 162 individuals from this population, we found 11 recombinants within a 6 Mb interval and fine mapped Lr57, demonstrating the high-resolution power of this strategy for mapping genes from wild relatives of wheat.

description: Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient and a key component in essential amino acids, methionine and cysteine (MET+CYS) that are the building blocks of protein. For a number of reasons, including difficulties in analysis for S, soil testing and fertility management has largely ignored this essential plant macronutrient. Trials were carried out over three years to evaluate the role of S fertility on the yield, seed S content, S yield and seed MET+CYS content of three types of grain legumes: double crop soybeans (Glycine Max), full season soybeans, and common dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Sulfur fertility management significantly increased yield, seed S content, S yield, and seed MET+CYS content on low S soils. Additionally, four soil extractions were evaluated as potential methods to improve S fertility recommendations. Calcium phosphate extractions more accurately identified sites that had a yield or seed s content response to applied S compared to Mehlich 3 and Calcium Chloride.

description: Multimorbidity, the presence of multiple chronic conditions, is increasingly recognized by researchers as a major health priority. Relative to younger adults, the burden is much higher among middle-aged and older adults with prevalence estimates ranging from 25-98%. Variations in the burden of multimorbidity within the aging population exist with a growing body of research showing racial/ethnic differences in the incidence, prevalence, and severity of multimorbidity. This study analyzed the association between perceived racial discrimination and multimorbidity among middle-aged and older adults and whether or not existing associations vary by race/ethnicity. Findings show that individuals reporting perceived discrimination are more likely to have multimorbidity. While racial/ethnic differences in the association between perceived discrimination and multimorbidity were not observed, Black respondents displayed the greatest risk for multimorbidity. Perceived discrimination may provide insight into why multimorbidity varies by race/ethnicity through the mechanisms of stress responses and health behaviors.

description: Surgical intervention is sometimes necessary in cases of Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA). The post-repair geometry of the aorta can result in sub-optimal hemodynamics and can have long-term health impacts. Patient-specific designs for tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) allow greater control over post-repair geometry. This thesis proposes a method for automatically optimizing patient-specific TEVGs using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and the ANSYS Fluent adjoint solver. Our method decreases power loss in the graft by 25-60% compared to the native geometry. As patient-specific graft design can be challenging due to incomplete or uncertain flow and geometry data, this thesis also quantifies the robustness of the optimal designs with respect to CFD boundary conditions derived from imaging data. We show that using velocity conditions that deviate by more than 20% of the measured peak systolic velocity, our method produces grafts with deviations on the order of 5% in predicted power loss performance. Lastly, as one way to accelerate the optimization process, we demonstrate and compare how some established machine learning models (K Nearest Neighbors and Kernel Ridge Regression) predict reasonable starting points for an optimizer on a 2D bifurcated pipe dataset.

description: Americans are throwing away an alarmingly high amount of food. As highlighted in this thesis project, a multitude of factors account for why food waste occurs, but also a significant potential exists for food waste reduction. The purpose of this research was to investigate the food waste environment in the university setting to better understand where to focus food waste reduction strategies. The volume of student plate waste was quantified, and the nutritional and environmental value of this plate waste was calculated. Further, a behavioral survey guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior helped to identify the key factors influencing food waste behaviors in this setting. Plate waste was found to be 5%-14% of all food served in the dining hall facility. The top three food groups that were most frequently discarded included starch and added sugars, fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Food waste related behaviors were found to be strongly influenced by having the confidence and skills for proper food management, feeling guilty about throwing food away, and having financial concerns related to food waste. The results of this research suggest that student plate waste is a significant problem with enormous potential for food waste reduction.

INVESTIGATING MORPHOMETRIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MATURITY ALONGSIDE INSULIN-LIKE ANDROGENIC GLAND (IAG) EXPRESSION AND SIZE IN MALE JONAH CRAB, CANCER BOREALIS, IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND

description: Fisheries management requires a thorough understanding of the processes involved in reproduction, including the ability to distinguish sexually mature individuals; understanding the physiological processes driving an individual to become sexually mature is equally as important. The Jonah Crab, Cancer borealis, contributes to a significant and growing male-driven fishery along the Atlantic coast of North America primarily from Newfoundland, Canada to Florida; however, little is known about their life history. This study focuses on investigating the relationship between morphometric and physiological maturity, and the size at which these life changes occur in the Southern New England stock. We also aim to understand better how the male sex differentiation hormone, insulin-like androgenic gland hormone, IAG, and its transcript levels relate to size in male C. borealis. The size at 50% sexual maturity (SM50) in male C. borealis was estimated morphometrically to be at 105.9 mm carapace width (CW). This is larger than the estimate of 98.3 mm CW for Jonah crabs in the Mid-Atlantic Bight, but lower than the estimate of 127.6 for C. borealis on the Scotian Shelf, consistent with a poleward gradient in size at maturity. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) differed significantly between CW size groups, maturity status, and season. Isolation of cDNA encoding C. borealis (Cab-IAG cDNA) was obtained from initial screening of AG transcriptome data and traditional cloning using 5’, 3’, Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE). The partial IAG sequence obtained was 351 bps in length and 117 amino acids long; the putative amino acid sequence was structured similarly to other crustacean IAGs. Transcript levels were determined by qRT-PCR assays and compared to size and maturity status. The AGs originating from the ablated animals contain IAG transcripts at much higher levels than the intact animals using both transcriptome data and qRT-PCR assay. IAG transcript levels (copies/ug AG total RNA) of the animals with various CWs do show a significant difference, indicating IAG protein levels in the hemolymph could be a potential candidate of the physiological biomarkers for sexual maturity. Fisheries managers should use multiple measures of sexual maturity and consider factors including geographical distribution when establishing and assessing guidelines for this economically important species.

description: Conducting a literature review involves trying to capture knowledge in such a way that it can be reused during synthesis and writing and this can be a challenge. We set out to describe the information capture process with the goal of identifying patterns which could influence the design of software that would support the literature reviewing process. We conducted a qualitative user study of four participants with a protocol analysis of the information capture portion of their literature reviewing process, focusing on a detailed description of how they captured contextual information in their notes and annotations, and how this varied across tools used. Our analysis revealed three common patterns of context capture, and quantitative and qualitative differences in these patterns across tools for literature reviewing. These findings provide insights for system design to support information capture in literature reviewing systems.

description: To examine the impact of shoreline erosion on the near shore environment, it is necessary to estimate the quantity and quality of yearly sediment mass that is likely to be added by erosion. Data were collected in 2008 at ten sites along the Maryland shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay and compared to both empirical and theoretical models of offshore profiles. The data collected at each site included a series of three-dimensional bathymetric profiles from offshore transects run at each site, as well as a series of sediment core data that were acquired along each transect. Relationships between grain size, beach type, sediment composition, and strength of eroding sediments were also explored. The results showed that sands dominated offshore surficial sediments at most locations, even though the source sediments were mixtures of sands and muds. The observed offshore profiles were consistent with expectation from ocean beach profile paradigms, with the exception that the steepness proportionality factor was not related to sediment grain size. An adjusted form of the classic Bruun relationship for predicting shoreline retreat was in approximate agreement with long-term observations.
EFFECTS OF METABOLISM ON MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL-DERIVED EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES

Subjects: subject: Bioengineering

description: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are under investigation for a wide variety of therapeutic applications. It has been determined that paracrine secretions are responsible for a significant portion of MSC bioactivity. Among these secretions, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been discovered to have therapeutic potential. EVs have many applications, such as reduction of myocardial injury, wound repair, and promotion of angiogenesis. A recent spark in MSC- derived EV interest stems from the potential advantages they have over MSC transplantation. EVs are considered more stable, have a well-defined clearance pathway in vivo, and pose less safety risks due to their inability to differentiate. There is increasing interest in MSC-derived EVs and their potential clinical application, however, there are many barriers to realistic, widespread EV-based therapy. One of the more prevalent issues is a lack of knowledge behind the impact of various cell culture parameters, which have been shown to affect both MSCs and the EVs they produce. Specifically, evidence shows that cell culture conditions impact metabolic pathways, which provide important signals that contribute to MSC behavior and function. However, there have been no specific studies on the potential impact of MSC metabolism on EVs. My overarching hypothesis is that MSC EV production and function are dependent on the metabolic state of the parent MSCs. To test this hypothesis, two key metabolic pathways, glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, were inhibited to examine their effects on EV production. Metabolic effects on MSC EV bioactivity were also assessed using gap closure assays. Experiments were performed in both 2D and spheroid culture to assess continuity of results between platforms. In 2D culture, metabolic pathway inhibition did not impact MSC EV production capacity but did decrease EV bioactivity. In microcavity- well culture plates, metabolic pathway inhibition decreased both MSC EV production capacity and EV bioactivity. These results indicate it is very likely that metabolism plays a mechanistic role in MSC EV production and bioactivity. Further studies are required to conclusively determine if metabolism impacts MSC EV production capacity, and they are also needed to better understand what causes metabolism to affect MSC EV bioactivity.

description: The cocktail party effect refers to the phenomenon that people can focus on a single sound source in a noisy environment with multiple speakers talking at the same time. This effect reflects the human brain's ability of selective auditory attention, whose decoding from non-invasive electroencephalogram (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG) has recently been a topic of active research. The mapping between auditory stimuli and their neural responses can be measured by the auditory temporal response functions (TRF). It has been shown that the TRF estimates derived with the envelopes of speech streams and auditory neural responses can be used to make predictions that discriminate between attended and unattended speakers. l_1 regularized least squares estimation has been adopted in previous research for the estimation of the linear TRF model. However, most real-world systems exhibit a degree of non-linearity. We thus have to use new models for complex, realistic auditory environments. In this thesis, we proposed to estimate TRFs with the deep Kalman filter model, for the cases where the observations are a noisy, non-linear function of the latent states. The deep Kalman filter (DKF) algorithm is developed by referring to the techniques in variational inference. Replacing all the linear transformations in the classic Kalman filter model with non-linear transformations makes the posterior distribution intractable to compute due to the non-linearity. Thus, a recognition network is introduced to approximate the intractable posterior and optimize the variational lower bound of the objective function. We implemented the deep Kalman filter model with a two-layer Bidirectional LSTM and a MLP. The performance is first evaluated by applying our algorithm to simulated MEG data. In addition, we also combined the new model for TRF estimation with a previously proposed framework by replacing the dynamic encoding/decoding module in the framework with a deep Kalman filter to conduct real-time tracking of selective auditory attention. This performance is validated by applying the general framework to simulated EEG data.

description: Hybrid vehicles are able to function in some combination of aerial, underwater, and terrestrial environments, which greatly expands the scope of missions a vehicle can perform. Hybrid aerial-water (HAW) vehicles are a promising subcategory that are designed to operate in two vastly different fluid mediums. Multirotor HAW vehicles configurations have advantages in maneuverability, but pose a challenge in the water entry or water exit transitions. The interaction of a powered rotor with the air-water interface and its performance in a mixed air-water medium are poorly understood. Previous HAW vehicle strategies avoid a powered rotor with additional propulsion and buoyancy systems, constraining the design space. A custom test stand was constructed to better understand rotor performance during the air-water transition. By recording powered rotor performance during controlled water entries and exits in a large tank, several novel observations were made. Previously unrecorded phenomenon such as the gradual height and RPM dependent transition and the underwater ceiling effect are determined. These observations inform the development of the Transition Index TI, a novel metric that indicates the transition state of the rotor, without the need for specialized sensors or computationally intensive modeling. TI is applied to experimental data to make further observations, and is also used in a novel thrust prediction formulation. The first known low-order prediction of thrust through the transition is validated against experimental data, and allows for the development of a TI based controller. A preliminary controller implementation shows promising results in maintaining constant thrust through the air-water transition. Finally, a HAW vehicle to apply this controller is built. Careful consideration to the waterproofing and motor choice is shown and preliminary flight tests are demonstrated. Future expansion on the application of the novel TI and thrust prediction has great potential to advance the capabilities of hybrid aerial-water vehicles.

Material examined: UFPB 6089 (1 lot; 10 specimens: 44.9 – 73.3 mm SL), Brazil, Pernambuco, Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Praia do Boldró, collector L.F. Mendes, August 1998.
Diagnosis. A species of Entomacrodus distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: modally 16 segmented dorsal-fin rays (vs. 15 in E. nigricans, E. cadenati, and E. textilis), modally 17 segmented anal-fin rays (vs. 16 in E. nigricans, E. cadenati, and E. textilis). Counts for other species are those of Springer (1967).
Description. Dorsal-fin rays XII, 14 – 16 (16), anal-fin rays II, 16 or 17, segmented caudal-fin rays 8; pectoral-fin rays 14; pelvic-fin: I, 4. Variable coloration on head, generally darkish with one or two dark stripes passing by the superior lips until eyes, continuing to the dorso-posterior region.
Color pattern in life. Body light-brown with six or seven dark-brown pairs of vertical bars (see Fig. 7). Light lips with seven dark-brown stripes crossing vertically, with the central stripe aligned to the superior lip from the inferior.
Geographic range, habitat and natural history. Entomacrodus vomerinus is endemic to Brazilian waters occurring from the north coast of Brazil to the Bahia state coast (about 18ºS of latitude) also present at all Brazilian oceanic islands. Almost exclusively a tide pool inhabitant; some specimens were observed two meters above the line water, remaining up to 20 minutes out of water. At Fernando de Noronha during the reproductive season (March/April) adult males are very dark with two green lines on head, passing through the eyes and ending on the anteroventral region of head (Mendes, 2000, 2006).
Remarks. Individuals of E. vomerinus collected from the Brazilian coast and oceanic islands all have similar counts and color patterns. The exception is Trindade island, an oceanic island about 1000 km off the east coast of Brazil; specimens of Entomacrodus collected there have distinct coloration and a fewer numbers of dorsal- and anal-fin rays (Gasparini, Rangel & Guimarães, in prep.). The occurrence of Entomacrodus nigricans Gill, 1859 in the Brazilian coast and oceanic islands, listed by Menezes & Figueiredo (1985) and Haimovici & Klippel (1999), were not confirmed and is probably a misidentification.

description: Der freie Online-Zugang zu Wissenschaftsergebnissen (Open Access) wird immer stärker diskutiert und von Verlagen, Repositorien und Fachzeitschriften in die Praxis umgesetzt. Vor allem in der Biologie, Physik und Medizin werden in größerem Umfang die Vorteile dieses Publikationsmodells in punkto Sichtbarkeit, Zitationszunahme und Verfügbarkeit genutzt. In der Psychologie ist Open Access bislang ein Nischenthema. Dabei gewinnt dieser Aspekt nicht nur praktisch sondern auch bei der Unterstützung durch die Forschungsförderer ein immer größeres Gewicht. Neben der Zweitveröffentlichung in Repositorien (grüner Weg) ist die Erstveröffentlichung in Open-Access-Fachzeitschriften (goldener Weg) eine Variante, die von immer mehr Wissenschaftlern genutzt wird. Mit der Übernahme des Open-Access-Konzepts für eine Fachzeitschrift gehen Fragen nach einem tragfähigen Geschäftsmodell und nach einer Verwaltungssoftware, die Aufwand und Kosten minimiert, einher. Die derzeit erprobten Geschäftsmodelle reichen von Autorengebühren über die Finanzierung durch Druckexemplare bis hin zu fachbereichsübergreifenden Publikationsverbünden. Für die Computerunterstützung gibt es mehrere Lösungen, die über Weboberflächen die vereinfachte Verwaltung von Fachzeitschriften anbieten. Eine europäische Publikationsplattform für die Psychologie könnte einzelne Fachzeitschriften bei der Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen unterstützen und einen zentralen Anlaufpunkt für das frei zugängliche Publizieren schaffen.

description: The maritime industry is increasingly adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to improve efficiency and ensure safety in its operations. However, this growing reliance on AI introduces new cybersecurity risks that could threaten critical systems and processes. This paper examines the vulnerabilities inherent in AI applications within the maritime sector, drawing on real-world examples such as DNS rebinding attacks, Denial-of-Service (DoS/DDoS), and data manipulation incidents.

Through a detailed analysis, the study highlights the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures tailored to the maritime industry's specific challenges. It reviews existing frameworks, such as NIST SP 800-53 and ISO 27001, and proposes practical strategies for mitigating these risks. The recommendations include secure AI development practices, improved threat monitoring, and fostering collaboration across industry stakeholders. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts to protect the maritime industry in an era of increasing digitization and interconnected systems.
