description: Particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in relativistic shocks propagating in inhomogeneous media are investigated by three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations and test-particle simulations. The MHD simulations show that the interaction between the relativistic shock and dense clumps amplifies the downstream magnetic field to the value expected from observations of the gamma-ray burst. The test-particle simulations in the electromagnetic field given by the MHD simulation show that particles are accelerated by the downstream turbulence and the relativistic shock. We provide the injection energy to the shock acceleration in this system. If the amplitude of upstream density fluctuations is sufficiently large, low-energy particles are initially accelerated to the injection energy by the downstream turbulence and then rapidly accelerated to higher energies by the relativistic shock. Therefore, the density fluctuation significantly affects particle acceleration in the relativistic shock.

description: With the development of internet of vehicles, platooning strategy has been widely studied as the potential approach to ensure the safety of autonomous driving. Vehicles in the form of platoon adopt 802.11p to exchange messages through vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communications. When multiple platoons arrive at an intersection, the leader vehicle of each platoon adjusts its movement characteristics to ensure that it can cross the intersection and thus the following vehicles have to adjust their movement characteristics accordingly. In this case, the time-varying connectivity among vehicles leads to the significant non-stationary performance change in platooning communications, which may incur safety issues. In this paper, we construct the time-dependent model to evaluate the platooning communication performance at the intersection based on the initial movement characteristics. We first consider the movement behaviors of vehicles at the intersection including turning, accelerating, decelerating and stopping as well as the periodic change of traffic lights to construct movement model, and then establish a hearing network to reflect the time-varying connectivity among vehicles. Afterwards, we adopt the pointwise stationary fluid flow approximation (PSFFA) to model the non-stationary behavior of transmission queue. Then, we consider four access categories (ACs) and continuous backoff freezing of 802.11p to construct the models to describe the time-dependent access process of 802.11p. Finally, based on the time-dependent model, the packet transmission delay and packet delivery ratio are derived. The accuracy of our proposed model is verified by comparing the simulation results with analytical results.

description: To identify a facet of death prediction with the subsequent prevention of premature deaths was the underlying motivator of this study.  Previous samples from the general population give credence to individuals for their will to live until a significant event occurs.  One such event is the birthday with an associated dip in the numbers of deaths in the quarter pre-birthday and a rise in the quarter post-birthday. The celebration of the birthday signifies a ceremony which unifies an individual to the society in which the person belongs.  Because 20% of the population aged 55 and older were found to die while residing in a Nursing; home the death-dipâ€"death-rise phenomenon surrounding the birthday, and the Nursing; home as a promoter of an intact society were the specific interests of this investigator.  The study focused on 173 elderly subjects who died while residing in one of two long term care facilities.  Most subjects were Caucasian, Christian, and widowed, with a mean age of 83.  In this descriptive ex post facto study the hypothesis, this stated that the death-day in the group of institutionalized, would occur with greater frequency in the quarter following the birthday, and was not supported.  Findings in Facility 1 showed a death-dip in the quarter prior to the birthday.  Both Facility 1 and Facility 2 had the greatest frequency of deaths occurring in the second quarter after the birthday.  The dip-rise phenomenon surrounding the birthday was found for those subjects who had a previous acute hospital admission.  There were fewer admissions (18%) to the hospital in the quarter pre-birthday with the greatest frequency of admissions (30%) in the quarter post-birthday.  Another incidence was the greatest number of deaths occurring on Sunday with the speculation that in the long term care facility, Sunday as the most frequent day for visitation, was personally significant to most individuals.  Implications for all care providers in the long term care facility to promote the celebration of individually significant events may contribute to the maintenance of dignity and control in the elderly patient as well as the prevention of premature death.

Heartman

description: Heart failure is a common disorder, which is easy to diagnose, but remains potentially lethal.  Effective therapy exists but is underused.  Recognizing this problem, the Agency of Health Care Policy and Research published guidelines for heart failure management in June 1994.  Practice guidelines have been proposed as a way to reduce inappropriate variation in patient care, and thus as a way to improve the quality of care.  Computerization with real time feedback is seen as one of the ways to implement guidelines more effectively.  This thesis discusses the development and evaluation of a prototype system called HeartMan, a set of computerized guidelines for heat failure management.  Two evaluation using historical patient data were performed.  The first experiment was designed to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of the knowledge.  Data on 10 heart failure patients (50 visits) were abstracted and the messages generated by HeartMan for the last 5 patients were formally reviewed by a heart failure expert.  Ninety percent of the 177 messages were considered appropriate.  The rules that produced neutral or inappropriate messages were revised.  New rules were created after assessing the completeness of the knowledge base.  The second experiment was designed to evaluate the accuracy of the revised knowledge base and to assess the potential impact of HeartMan on patient care.   Ten new cases (50 visits) from Cardiology and Internal Medicine clinics were studied.  Of the 350 messages generated, over 90% were considered appropriate, 82% could have averted a severe quality problem, and 37% were also discrepant with the treating physician's actions.  The reason of discrepancy between Heartman and the treating physician included error of omission and differences in management styles.  This latter group of messages offered the greatest opportunity for improvement in clinical practice by using the system.  A small number (2%) of inappropriate messages could have produced a severe quality problem and were also discrepant with the physician.  These experiments support the conclusions that a rule-based knowledge base can adequately model complex domains, and computerized guidelines for heart failure management might have a potential positive impact on the quality of patient care.

description: Molecular case studies (MCS) use an interesting story as a hook , followed by exploration of biochemistry of one or more molecules of interest. They can be useful in teaching about macromolecule structure and function and also for improving biomolecular visualization and analysis in undergraduate and graduate level classes. Several unique collaborations have stemmed from discussions and workshops facilitated by the Molecular CaseNet group. The “Malaria and Maria” case was originally drafted by a group of students in Dr. Vardar-Ulu’s Biochemistry class in Fall 2020 at Boston University. This student authored MCS replaced the in-person laboratory student projects during the COVID-19 remote instruction period in Fall 2020. The case examines the structure of the enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase, a key player in anaerobic metabolism. Dr. Vardar-Ulu used this case to teach Biochemistry at Boston University. Since the case uses Malaria, a neglected tropical disease as a hook, it was also a good fit for the Molecular Parasitology class taught by Dr. Agrawal at University of Mary Washington. In Spring 2022 the case was piloted in both these universities.

The influence of the fear-avoidance model factors on patients scheduled to undergo lumbar disc herniation surgery

description: Although the prognosis of patients with a lumbar disc herniation (LDH) diagnosis is generally favorable, 20% to 30% continue reporting pain, disability, and unfavorable outcome regardless of treatment received. The Fear Avoidance Model (FAM) is one among the most known models in low back pain (LBP) to explain chronic pain and disability. However, factors in this model have been mostly examined in nonspecific LBP to describe the development of chronic symptoms. The purpose of this dissertation was to study the influence of FAM factors on patients' poor outcomes following LDH surgery. We systematically searched for studies that measured any FAM factors to prospectively assess LDH surgical outcomes. We identified 13 prospective studies that used different FAM measures to predict LDH postoperative pain, disability, or sick leave. Quality assessment of the included studies was performed and reported. Heterogeneity between studies in terms of FAM predictors, outcome measures, analyses, and in other aspects were found. While pain and depression were the most measured FAM factors, some factors were not adequately assessed. There seems to be different prognostic value between preoperative leg pain and back pain. Fear, avoidance, anxiety, and pain coping seem to have negative impact on LDH surgical outcomes. We also analyzed prospective data for LDH patients undergoing discectomy surgery to study specific FAM measures and their impact on post discectomy leg pain, back pain, and disability. Fear-avoidance, pain catastrophizing, physical activity level, functional disability, and other FAM factors were measured preoperatively. The FAM measures demonstrate significant associations with each other and with preoperative functional disability. These FAM measures also explained significant amounts of the 10- week outcomes' variances. The most influential FAM factors in our data were depression and work-related fear. Many findings in this analysis were supported by previous research. In general, FAM factors seem to have a similar impact on LDH patients (pre- and postoperatively) as on nonspecific LBP patients. LDH patients with preoperative higher levels of back pain, fear-avoidance beliefs, anxiety, pain catastrophizing, passive pain coping, and depression were more likely to have unfavorable surgical outcomes. Screening for FAM factors in LDH patients and managing them accordingly during conservative therapy, before surgery, and throughout the postoperative rehabilitation is, therefore, needed to improve outcomes and minimize health care costs. i'v

I am a woman but not this kind of woman: bifurcation in gender identity in response to stereotype threat

description: The goal of this research was to investigate the effects of selective changes in feminine identity (identity bifurcation) on self-concept, cognitive functioning, and math performance of women. Study 1 showed that women highly identified with math had a tendency not to identify with stereotypically feminine characteristics that are deemed incompatible with being successful in quantitative domains (e.g., being emotional, flirtatious). At the same time, these women identified with feminine characteristics that are perceived as not incompatible with women's success in quantitative domains (e.g., being intuitive, empathic, or fashionable). In Study 2 female participants were exposed to stereotype threat and given an opportunity to use identity bifurcation as an ego-protective strategy. Subsequently, participants' self-esteem, working memory capacity, math performance, and self-integrity were measured. As predicted, stereotype threat negatively affected women's math performance. However, the link between stereotype threat and math performance found in the current study was not a direct causal path, but it occurred through self-integrity and working memory acting as serial mediators. Women who were exposed to stereotype threat reported lower feelings of self-integrity, which, in turn negatively impacted their working memory capacity and undermined their math performance. Study 2 results also demonstrated that women responded to stereotype threat with bifurcation in their feminine identity. However, this change in identity did not have an effect on working memory and math performance through positively affecting self-concept. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.

Critical Roles of WNT/B-Catenin Signaling During Development of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Creators: name: Westenskow, Peter D

Year: 2012
Subjects: Eye
Epithelium

description: The RPE is a polarized pigmented epithelial monolayer that is critical for vision  and development of the neural retina. Considering its diverse and required roles, it is  surprising how little is known about how it develops. Two transcription factors Mitf and  Otx2 have been identified. Both are required for RPE development by activating many  RPE terminal differentiation genes. The loss of either factor is catastrophic and induces  RPE cells to dedifferentiate and to instead express retina-specific genes in a process  termed RPE-to-retina transdifferentiation. Therefore, it is imperative that Mitf and Otx2  expression levels be maintained during development. A few other intrinsic and extrinsic  factors have been identified that regulate RPE fate, but only one gene family (Pax genes)  has been demonstrated to directly regulate Mitf.  In Chapter 2,1 present results demonstrating a previously unknown role for  Wnt/B-catenin signaling in the murine RPE. The pathway is active during development,  and is required for RPE differentiation by directly regulating both Mitf and Otx2.  Conditional inactivation of B-catenin results in many defects including RPE-to-retina  transdifferentiation, adhesion defects, and coloboma with optic nerve defects.  In Chapter 3,1 show evidence (in collaboration with Shinichi Nagakawa), that the  role of Wnt/B-catenin in mouse and chicken is conserved. I also show that Otx2 and ficatenin,  when co-transfected into the chicken retina, ectopically induces Mitf expression.  This finding is key, since neither factor is sufficient alone to do so. 1 also confirm findings and provide novel evidence that both Otx2 and Mitf-D are able to autoregulate  their enhancers to further enhance their expression levels during development  In the final chapter, I will emphasize the importance of maintaining RPE fate  during development. Maintaining Mitf and Otx2 expression levels is imperative.  Consequently, my findings demonstrating that Wnt/B-catenin signaling regulates both are  significant. Mitf expression can also be enhanced through integrated Otx2 and Wnt/Bcatenin  signaling to enhance Mitf expression even higher (and both can autoregulate). I  also provide a model of RPE development incorporating some of the known factors, and  describe future directions to further elucidate the role of Wnt/B-catenin signaling in RPE  formation.

description: The purpose of this work was to design and construct a radio-frequency coil optimized for imaging the Optic Nerve (ON) on a Siemens 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The specific goals were to optimize signal sensitivity from the orbit to the optic chiasm and improve SNR over designs currently in use. The constructed coil features two fiberglass formers that can slide over each other to accommodate any arbitrary head size, while maintaining close coupling near the eyes and around the head in general. This design eliminates the air void regions that occur between the coil elements and the forehead when smaller heads are imaged in one-piece, nonadjustable coil formers. The 28 coil elements were placed using a soccer-ball pattern layout to maximize head coverage. rSNR profiles from phantom imaging studies show that the ON coil provides approximately 55% greater rSNR at the region of the optic chiasm and approximately 400% near the orbits compared to the 12-channel commercial coil. The improved rSNR in the optic nerve region allows performance of high resolution DTI, which provides a qualitative measurement for evaluating optic neuritis. Images from volunteer and patient studies with the ON coil reveal plaques that correspond well with the patient disease history of chronic bilateral optic neuritis. Correspondence of image findings with patient disease histories demonstrates that optic neuritis can be visualized and detected in patients using 3T MRI with advanced imaging coils, providing improved patient care.

description: Water treatment issues are a problem worldwide. More and more gold mines are being opened in Africa and other parts of the world; these mines employ the carbon-inleach technique to recover gold from complex cyanide solution. The resulting process waste streams are high in cyanide, nitrate-N/ nitrite-N and in some cases arsenic. This  thesis research looks at the design and evaluation of an electrochemical bioreactor for  nitrogen and arsenic removal from contaminated water. Initial test results obtained by passing a mine's contaminated water through a  conventional up flow bioreactor showed 100% nitrate-N and 85% arsenic removed for  an initial arsenic and nitrate-N of 2,000 ppb and 50,000 ppb, respectively. The flow rate was 0.74 ml/min with a residence time of 2 days for the circuit of 3 reactors. Using the gathered information and improved reactor configurations, the design of the electrochemical bioreactor was tested. The performance of the electrochemical  bioreactor was compared with a conventional up flow bioreactor with the same features as the electrochemical bioreactor but without applied potential. Results show that for a feed solution of 2,000 ppb of arsenic and 50,000 ppb  nitrate-N; arsenic, nitrate-N and nitrite-N removal rates achieved was 100 % in both reactors at a nutrient addition of 4.0 g/ liter of contaminant solution at a contaminant  feed rate to reactor of 5.042 liters per day. In a bid to optimize the reactors further with  less nutrient addition, the arsenic concentration of solution coming out of the tail end  of reactor without applied potential (Rl) stabilized at 75 ppb with nutrient addition at  2.0 g TSB per liter of contaminant solution. With the same concentration of 2000 ppb  arsenic in the feed, the tail solution coming out of reactor with applied potential (R2)  stabilized at 35 ppb with a batch nutrient addition rate of 2.0 g TSB per liter of  contaminant solution and an applied potential of IV. Nitrate-N and nitrite-N removal  rate remained at 100% in both reactors at 2.0 g TSB per liter of contaminant solution.  The electrochemical bioreactor reactor with applied potential (R2) thus has an  improved combined removal rate of arsenic and nitrate-N as compared to the  conventional bioreactor in the two week period of testing. Additionally, it was also  observed that arsenic remaining in solution after the passage of 2000 ppb arsenic  contaminant solution through the reactors averaged 20 ppb, both at the bottom and the  top of the conventional up-flow bioreactor. However, with the increasing reduction  gradient from the bottom to the top due to the applied potential, a further reduction in  arsenic at the top of the electrochemical bioreactor was the case with the bottom and top arsenic levels averaging 20 ppb and 0 ppb, respectively, for the nutrient addition rate of 4.0 g TSB per liter of contaminant solution.  v

The incentive for adoption of CSP  technology is to facilitate low cost board and chip construction and eliminate the bulk  associated with previous packaging techniques. These products are subject to  mechanical stresses when dropped or the keypads are pressed. Such normal usage  results in repetitive localized stresses at the chip-to-PCB (printed circuit board)  interconnection, leading to interfacial delaminations, fatigue of solder joints, and,  finally, to intermittent electrical failure.  This project is aimed at emulating the multiaxial stresses induced in directattach,  chip-size electronic packages during day-to-day use, for the purpose of  predicting field wearout mechanisms and using better CSP architectures to improve  overall reliability. Early on in the work, a primitive apparatus was designed to clamp a  test board at one end and force the other end over a designed radius at one cycle per  second. The learning curve of those initial tests provided a large amount of data in a  relatively short period of time. The call for a tunable, reproducible stress state,  however, indicated the need for a more customized test configuration.  To meet the evolving needs, a test fixture was designed to apply a repeatable,  high-frequency, low-level deflection to the test board using a four-point bend  configuration. The new apparatus was designed as a closed-loop feedback system to input a known signal and continuously monitor the resulting force, displacement, strain,  and resistance of mounted devices.  Various architectures of the CSP devices were developed and manufactured onto  custom PC test boards specifically for the purpose of determining relative mechanical  robustness. The failure populations were grouped by architecture for using Weibull  analysis techniques as part of the overall failure analysis approach.  Upon completion of the experimental testing and failure analysis, the empirical  results were compared to field results (failure mode observed on a consumer handheld  device used in the "real world" for one year time). It was determined that mechanical  bend testing closely emulates the wearout mechanisms incurred during field use of  direct attach chip size electronic packages.

A Study of attitudes of eight year old children toward aging and the elderly.

Subjects: Aging

Psychological Aspects

description: Researchers have shown that it is not uncommon for young adults, middle-age adults and the elderly to have negative and stereotyped attitudes toward aging and the elderly people.  Only a limited number of studies have examined the attitudes of children towards aging and elderly people and there is a marked paucity of research examining childrenâ€™s attitudes in relation to contact with elderly people.  The attitudes of 43 eight year old children were measured by administering a picture series and structured interview technique devised by Seefeldt, Jantz, Galper, and Serock (1977).  This instrument used three interrelated components of attitudes:  cognitive, affective and behavioral.  The test was designed to reveal childrenâ€™s knowledge of age, the types of interactions and behaviors they exhibit toward the elderly and their feelings about aging and elderly people.  In addition to Seefeldâ€™s (1977) test, the children were asked questions designed to elicit information about relationship with grandparents.  As a result of this study, it was demonstrated that eight year olds do understand the concept of age. The childrenâ€™s attitudes were found to be generally stereotyped, implying that elderly people are passive and helpless.  But their feelings were also affectionate and indicated a desire to help elderly people.  Since it is estimated that 20% of the population will be over 60 years old by the year 2000, the implication of this study are for further research, practice and education to prevent negative, stereotyped attitudes.
The soul of leadership: African American students' experiences in historically black and predominantly white organizations

Leadership

description: This study addresses African American students' leadership experiences at predominantly White institutions. Findings indicated participants utilized servant leadership in historically Black organizations and transformational leadership in predominantly White organizations. The differences displayed showed that participants' leadership perceptions and behaviors were influenced by the racial micro-organizational climates experienced. Emergent themes were: 1) Resistant apathy; 2) Blackness as benefit; 3) Positional responsibility; and 4) Leader efficacy enhancement. Ultimately, participants adjusted the ways in which they enacted leadership, mentored followers and defined leading based on the organizational context.

description: HIP 41378 d is a long-period planet that has only been observed to transit twice, three years apart, with K2. According to stability considerations and a partial detection of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, $P_\mathrm{d} = 278.36$ d has been determined to be the most likely orbital period. We targeted HIP 41378 d with CHEOPS at the predicted transit timing based on $P_\mathrm{d}= 278.36$ d, but the observations show no transit. We find that large ($>22.4$ hours) transit timing variations (TTVs) could explain this non-detection during the CHEOPS observation window. We also investigated the possibility of an incorrect orbital solution, which would have major implications for our knowledge of this system. If $P_\mathrm{d} \neq 278.36$ d, the periods that minimize the eccentricity would be $101.22$ d and $371.14$ d. The shortest orbital period will be tested by TESS, which will observe HIP 41378 in Sector 88 starting in January 2025. Our study shows the importance of a mission like CHEOPS, which today is the only mission able to make long observations (i.e., from space) to track the ephemeris of long-period planets possibly affected by large TTVs.

description: This study presents the details of a site specific investigation and drilled shaft foundation study for a site in Tremonton, Utah, which is along PacifiCorp's constructed 345 kV transmission line extending from Ogden, Utah to Downey, Idaho. This study is based off of a three part investigation previously submitted to PacifiCorp, and its objectives to evaluate the shear strength and deformation characteristics of a granular, transitional soil for the proposed construction of laterally loaded drilled shafts. The primary goals of this research project are as follows: (a) Perform detailed geological and geotechnical investigations in order to define the variability of the shear strength and deformation behavior of the subsurface soils using the various field and laboratory test methods performed on the soils from the transitional material site; (b) identify and compare the strengths and weaknesses of the various test methods and evaluate their applicability to the characterization of the transitional materials at the subject site; (c) evaluate and compare the load vs. deformation (i.e., P-y) curves determined for the design structural loading condition(s) using the shear strength properties obtained from each test method (d) recommend additional studies that will result in improvements to the foundation design in similar subsurface conditions. The first task undertaken to achieve these objectives was to perform a detailed geological investigation at each site. Surficial geological units were determined for the site, and several types of geological hazards were investigated and analyzed. Geotechnical investigations were then conducted for the site, according to the predominant types of subsurface materials present. The subsurface materials consist primarily of transitional granular-cohesive soils with significant amounts of gravel and larger size particles. The results from the geological and geotechnical investigations were used to estimate appropriate engineering parameters for the analysis and design of drilled shaft foundations at the site. The computer program, LPILE™ was used for the analyses and designs. Comparisons of the designs were made between the actual foundation constructed at the Tremonton site and those determined using parameters obtained in this research project. Major recommendations regarding future research and training are summarized as follows: (a) full-scale load tests at the subject site investigated in this research project should be performed to determine the accuracy and reliability of the various methods used for analysis; (b) several additional triaxial compression tests be conducted to validate results determined in this study.
title:  La ‘maggior tutela’ dei diritti del consumatore: un problema di coordinamento tra codice civile e codice del consumo

description: Scopo del saggio è quello di esaminare alcuni dei problemi sottesi al coordinamento tra disciplina generale e normativa di settore. Si suggerisce che il ‘maggior favore’ dei diritti del consumatore non arriva ad integrare la sostanza di un criterio di soluzione di potenziali conflitti di norme. Piuttosto, si è tentati di dire che il ‘maggior favore’ andrebbe inteso nel senso di consentire al consumatore di scegliere la tutela preferibile, generale o di settore.
