description: The objective of this study is to demonstrate an evaluation procedure for use by program managers in the local public mental health system which combines the measure of resources consumed (cost) with the related outcome achieved (cost-outcome) that when combined with managementâ€™s values (cost-effectiveness)  will routinely facilitate programs evaluation and management decision making.  It was also postulated that cost-outcome data would specifically be useful to administrators as not only a measure of accountability but also a tool for assessing continued fiscal viability.  Both cost and outcome data were readily available from the information system of Granite Community Mental Health Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Annually, in concert with other mental health centers in Utah, Granite performed extensive cost-analysis to determine their cost per unit of service.  The Center also had integrated ad Level of Functioning Scale (LOF) with their routine reporting of staff time.  This scale, adapted from the Spitzerâ€™s and Endicottâ€™s Global Assessment Scale by a multi-disciplinary committee, used client functioning descriptors primarily reflecting the psychodynamic focus and training of the staff.  Thus, their data system was designed so that each time a client was seen, the corresponding cost and an assessment of functioning was recorded.  Cost and outcome data were gathered on 258 outpatient clients who were admitted and discharged during a six-month period and who had attended at least four therapy visits.  These data were then complied into matrices reflecting the clientsâ€â€™ initial and ending LOF scores as well as the corresponding costs.  The total study population was, then, subdivided into those receiving only individual therapy, those receiving only group or family therapy, and those receiving a combination of individual and group or family.  This enabled a demonstration of the utility of the matrix technique by posing the null hypothesis that it is as cost-effective to treat clients individually as it is in groups.  Since the data was client specific, it was also possible to beans of a unique identifier to further analyze the data referencing client demographics such as diagnosis and sex.  The combined data from the matrices were statistically analyzed by means of Chi-Square and ANOVA but did not appear to support the hypothesis since while there was little difference demonstrated in outcome results there was definite difference in corresponding costs. Limitation and strengths of the study were discussed. Recommendations were made for those who supply and use these data.  And, suggestions for further research were offered.

Weights and Measures

description: The study established a detailed method by which passive air-sampling monitors for NO2, operating on the principle of diffusion may be calibrated.  This procedure assures a timely, precise and accurate direct calibration method which may be utilized in monitoring potential exposures to nitrogen dioxide.  The specific monitor investigated was the Monotox monitor (Model Compur (4100) manufactured by MDA scientific, Inc.  The work involved three major areas of study:  1. Evaluation of the working lifetime of a nitric oxide (NO) to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) converter apparatus to determine its potential use in the calibration method.  2. Characterization of the stability of manufactured NO2 calibration-gas to assess its potential use in the calibration method.  3. Evaluation of the monitor response time, the response of the monitor (at various NO2 concentrations as a function of the expected response), and the reproducibility of these responses for purposes of developing a precise and accurate direct calibration method.  The results of the research efforts addressing these three areas were utilized in determining the most reliable and accurate method for the calibration of direct reading NO2 monitors.  The conclusions derived from this study are: 1. At a NO concentration level of 5 ppm, the conversion apparatus has a working lifetime of approximately 6 hours at a flow rate of 20 mL/min (or a total volume of 7.2 L).  2. The manufactured NO2 calibration-gas appeared to be stable for a period of approximately 3 months.  3. The Montox monitor response time (to an equilibrium value) varies with the NO2 challenge concentration; for example, the device requires approximately 3 minutes reaching equilibrium at a nitrogen dioxide concentration of 1.4 ppm.  The Monotox response is generally comparable to that of an infrared analyzer.  This study established a reliable calibration method for passive air-sampling of NO2 using the Monotox monitor.  The method utilizes an NO2 calibration-gas and provides the operator with a useful calibration procedure by which reliable field data can be collected.  The calibration method developed performs successfully and efficiently.

Questioning Turing test

artificial intelligence

description: The Turing Test (TT) is an experimental paradigm to test for intelligence, where an entity’s intelligence is inferred from its ability, during a text-based conversation, to be recognized as a human by the human judge. The advantage of this paradigm is that it encourages alternative versions of the test to be designed; and it can include any field of human endeavour. However, it has two major problems: (i) it can be passed by an entity that produces uncooperative but human-like responses (Artificial Stupidity); and (ii) it is not sensitive to how the entity produces the conversation (Blockhead). In light of these two problems, I propose a new version of the TT, the Questioning Turing Test (QTT). In the QTT, the task of the entity is not to hold a conversation, but to accomplish an enquiry with as few human-like questions as possible. The job of the human judge is to provide the answers and, like in the TT, to decide whether the entity is human or machine. The QTT has the advantage of parametrising the entity along two further dimensions in addition to ‘human-likeness’: ‘correctness’, evaluating if the entity accomplishes the enquiry; and ‘strategicness’, evaluating how well the entity carries out the enquiry, in terms of the number of questions asked – the fewer, the better. Moreover, in the experimental design of the QTT, the test is not the enquiry per se, but rather the comparison between the performances of humans and machines. The results gained from the QTT show that its experimental design minimises false positives and negatives; and avoids both Artificial Stupidity and Blockhead.

description: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a small population of CD4+ lymphocytes and play a key role as suppressors of the immune system, a role that can be identified by employing a co-culture suppression assay. Conventional protocol requires a long period of in vitro expansion of Treg numbers; hence, this study describes an establishment of a co-culture suppression assay using a short-term expansion of peripheral blood (PB) Tregs and autologous T cells (Tconvs) IL-2-pre-cultured in parallel for the same length of time, thereby obviating the need of freeze/thawed autologous Tconvs. Tregs and Tconvs were isolated from PB mononuclear cells employing magnetic bead-aided depletion of CD8+ cells followed by cell sorting of CD4+ CD25high+CD127low- (Treg) and CD4+ CD25-CD127+ (Tconv) cell populations. Following a 3-day co-cultivation period under optimized conditions, Treg suppression activity was monitored by comparing using flow cytometry the number of carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester-labeled Tconvs to that of Treg-minus control. The assay allowed significant differentiation between Treg suppression activity of patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and those in remission. This method should be more convenient and time-saving than the conventional Treg suppression assay in current use.
East Asian Summer monsoon precipitation systems: rainfall characteristics, storm morphologies and convective properties

Storm morphology

description: This study attempts to characterize the particular convection type, namely storm morphologies, convective properties, and microphysics, of different weather regimes within the East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM). Defined rain bands and associated rainfall characteristics are examined in terms of population, location, variability, and rainfall frequency. Though the Mei-Yu rain bands produce a relatively large rain belt over South China and Taiwan during mid-May to mid-June, and over the Yangtze River region during mid-June to mid-July, rainfall maxima and heavy precipitation are most  frequent over specific locations.  Generally, the frequency of storms with high echo tops, significant convection, and evident ice scattering signature is greatest in post-Meiyu and break periods, less so during the active Mei-Yu, and least frequent before the monsoon onset. However, preseason, as well as break periods, has a larger fraction of intense convection that behaves more like the classic continental tropical convection with major ice-based rainfall processes. Specifically, preseason and break periods have a larger fraction of rainfall contributed from storms with a 40-dBZ convective core extending above 7-8 km.  By comparison, active Mei-Yu convection more closely resembles classic tropical maritime convection with relatively more importance of "warm-rain" collision and coalescence processes with weaker convection but heavy precipitation. Monsoon precipitation over the Yangtze River region, though having similar size and cloud top, differs from its counterpart in South China on convective properties, vertical structures, and rainfall contribution by storm types.  Based on Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) climatology, the EASM is comparable to other monsoon regimes by having convective properties intermediate  between the intense convective systems over continents, and the weaker convective systems found in the classic maritime precipitation regimes.  Analysis based on Terrain-influenced Monsoon Rainfall Experiment (TiMREX) observations indicates that most of the heavy rainfall is associated with Mei-Yu rain  bands, strongly influenced by upstream low-level jets, unstable upstream conditions, but a more nearly moist neutral storm environment. A particular long-duration heavy precipitation event is analyzed in detail, and features continuous development of "back-building" new convection under the influence of an extensive precipitation-created cold pool and substantial orography downstream.

description: During the past decade, palladium-catalyzed alkene functionalization reactions that intercept the Pd-alkyl intermediate for further functionalization has attracted  significant interest because of its ability to generate diverse C-O, C-N and C-C bond connections. However, developments of these reactions are considered to be challenging due to the propensity of the Pd-alkyl intermediate for ?-hydride elimination. The Sigman  group has been involved in developing methods to stabilize the Pd-alkyl intermediate that is formed at the benzylic or allylic positions to generate interesting product. Herein, we describe the discovery of new efficient methods to stabilize these intermediates to  achieve difunctionalization and hydrofunctionalization products. First, a highly cationic PdII-catalyzed alkene difunctionalization of terminal olefins using organostannanes is developed in which a conjugated alkene can lead to a 1,2-addition product. However, electron withdrawing styrenes gave a mixture of 1,2- and  1,1-addition products. Based on an observed linear free energy relationship, it was found that electronic nature of the styrene determines the ratio of the 1,2- vs 1,1-diarylation product. This study ultimately lead us to develop a 1,1-diarylartion reaction using simple  olefins. The mechanistic experiments suggested that the electrophilic nature of the palladium catalyst is necessary to stabilize the resultant ?-benzyl species, that yields the  alkene difunctionalization product.

description: Social support is a reliable predictor of physical health. However, most studies examine this link with measures of perceived social support that are only modestly correlated with actual support received. Importantly, laboratory studies which manipulate received support often find that it results in greater distress and physiological reactivity. One theoretical model posited by Bolger and Amarel (2007) suggests that social support costs are dependent on whether or not the support is received prior to or after an individual decides support is wanted or needed. The current study examined the main and interaction effects of social support and choice for the support on reactivity to a lab speech stressor task using an induced compliance paradigm to increase perceived choice in receiving support during a speech task. One hundred eighteen participants were assigned to varying conditions of choice (induced choice, no induced choice, no reference to choice) and received support (received support during task, received no support during task). Participants completed measures of self-esteem, anxiety, threat, and control during the speech task. Cardiovascular functioning was measured via blood pressure and cardiac impedance. Results did not support choice as a moderator between support and reactivity. Received support predicted increased cardiovascular reactivity during the speech task (p's

description: Breast cancer (BC) remains the most common cancer in women.  Although screening mammography (SM) is an effective approach for early detection of BC, uninsured, underinsured, and minority women often do not have access to SM.  The National Breast and Cervical Early Detection Program provide free access to SM.  Of women who screen, 10-15% requires further testing, and half of those delay or do not return.  Delay may contribute to later stage BC at diagnosis and increased rates of recurrence and death.  This study was conducted to identify predictors of delay after an abnormal mammogram and predictors of rescreening behavior in women enrolled in the Tennessee Breast and Cervical Screening Program.  Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore association between age, race, ethnicity, and marital status, BC history, and presence of breast symptoms and the outcomes of delay and rescreening behavior.  Of 11,610 women, 37% required further testing.  In a subset of women with time to completion > 1 day, 30% experienced delay > two months.  Seventeen percent had another SM during the study period (2002-2006).  The high percentage of women needing further testing is likely attributed to the program receiving referrals for diagnosis of symptomatic women as well as asymptomatic screening.  Controlling for marital status, age, and BC history, there was more delay in test completion if the women African American versus Caucasian (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.13, 1.85), Hispanic (OR .72, 95% CI 0.55, 0.93) and reported no breast symptoms (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.27, 1.77).  A delay in receipts of test results > 1 week contributed to the overall delay.  Controlling for race and BC history, there was greater likelihood of rescreening if the women were married (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.12, 1.43) and over 50 years of age (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.67, 2.21) and less likelihood if the women were non-Hispanic (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.60, 0.83) and had no breast symptoms (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76.,0.96). Findings can be used to identify women at risk for delay, assess understanding of the indication for further test, identify potential barriers to completion of testing or rescreening, and tailor interventions to overcome the barriers.

After two weeks, when the immunity should havedeveloped, all the groups were challenges with natural IBD infection. A high level 94, 98 and 96 percentof vaccinated groups survived the challenged while only 44 percent survived in the control (nonvaccinated).The results indicated that, the three vaccines tested were sufficiently potent to conferimmunity on the vaccinates while the non-vaccinates were vulnerable to the infection. This observationis in contrast with field situations where out breaks of IBD even in vaccinated stocks have been reported.It is thus recommended that these vaccines and other IBD vaccines be further evaluated using othermethods with a view to unraveling the mystery surrounding out breaks of IBD in poultry farms especiallyin a vaccinated stocks.

description: The lowest four members of the Koobi Fora Formation: the Lonyumun Member, the Moiti Member, the Lokochot Member, and the Tulu Bor Member, are exposed in  Areas 117, 137 and 116. These deposits include strata that were incorrectly identified as the KBS Tuff and the Surgaei tuff in Findlater's 1976 study. The composite thickness of strata within the study area is approximately 170 m, approximately 100 m of which are deposits of the Lonyumun Member. In addition to these strata, intrusions of Gombe Group basalts are exposed as well as a littoral zone of the lacustrine Galana Boi Formation of Holocene age. A large lake from 4.2-3.99 Ma, a fluvial deltaic system from 3.99-3.40 and a large fluvial system from 3.40-3.06 Ma deposited strata of the Koobi Fora Formation in this region. This observation is consistent with Brown and Feibel's 1991 study. Nine tuffs are exposed in the study area. Two of these tuffs, the Naibar and Aberegaiye Tuff, are newly named in this study. The Naibar Tuff was deposited by fluvial action to the shores of the receding Lonyumun Lake.

description: Considering that healthcare systems’ financial resources are limited, our aim was to analyze the number needed to treat (NNT) and cost of preventing an event (COPE) related to drug use from Supplementary Health System (SSS) perspective. Data from KEYNOTE-189 (NCT02578680) were considered, comparing pembrolizumab + chemotherapy to chemotherapy alone. A cost per responder model was developed considering the 24- and 12-month time horizons for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) endpoints, respectively. Restricted mean survival time (RMST) and restricted mean time-on-treatment (ToT) were determined for NNT and COPE calculation. Costs were reported in American dollars (USD) and reflect those related to drug use. The analysis was conducted for total indicated population, and an exploratory assessment was carried out for subgroups with different programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels. Considering PFS data, overall population NNTRMST to prevent a progression event with pembrolizumab + chemotherapy versus chemotherapy was 2.63 (95%CI: 1.90-4.02) with an estimated COPE of 251,038 USD (95%CI: 181,359-383,717) in the 12-months follow-up. Regarding OS endpoint, overall NNTRMST and COPE were 3.18 (95%CI: 2.20-5.31) and 414,163 (95%CI: 286,528-691,573) USD respectively, in the 24 months follow-up. The PFS NNT was lower with higher levels of PD-L1 expression (1.71, 3.22 and 5.53 for PD-L1 ≥ 50%, PD-L1 1%-49%, and PD-L1 < 1% groups, respectively), while there was no such apparent relationship for OS (3.23, 4.37 and 2.80 for PD-L1 ≥ 50%, PD-L1 1%-49%, and PD-L1 < 1% groups, respectively). The 95%CIs overlapped for PFS and OS NNT across the PD-L1 subgroups. The magnitude of benefit of the pembrolizumab combination used for first-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment to improve survival compared to chemotherapy alone was confirmed. The exploratory analysis from the SSS perspective suggests no differences among the PDL-1 subgroups in terms of clinical benefit or economic impact.

description: Here we present our efforts to develop a model system that is suitable for  laboratory experiments addressing Chiropteran development, genetics and evolution. The  bat, Myotis lucifugus was selected as a model organism to study Chiropteran biology. To  build a model system, Myotis lucifugus specimens were collected from several locations  across the United States. From the collected specimens, embryos and adult tissues were  used to produce an assessment of embryonic development, primary cell cultures, and  various genetic libraries. These resources were then used to investigate the Chiropteran  HoxD complex. The HoxD 13 genomic locus was cloned and sequenced to derive a  protein coding sequence, which showed strong conservation with the Human and mouse  HOXD 13 proteins. HoxD 13 expression, however, was expanded in the Myotis lucifugus  forelimb when compared to mouse. We therefore investigated the regulation of the HoxD  complex by cloning and sequencing two Chiropteran global control regions (GCR)  belonging to Myotis lucifugus and Rhinolophus ferrumequinum. The two Chiropteran  GCRs were used in a series of unbiased triangulation alignments, looking for sequence  changes that were shared between the two bat species but not found in Human or mouse  GCRs. A number of exclusive Chiropteran changes were found regarding sequence order,  large insertions, large deletions and small nucleotide changes. The GCR was finally  examined in a mouse transgenic assay, to determine its activity domains. As compared  with the previously reported Human GCR activity assay, we found new Chiropteran  GCR activity domains in the stylopod and zeugopod that correlate with the expansion  of HoxD 13 in the Chiropteran forelimb. Previously reported domains in the fore- and midbrains were absent, which also correlate with a mutation in a highly conserved  tetrapod specific GCR sequence. In light of the proposed hypothesis that the highly  clustered structure of Hox genes in tetrapods acts as a constraint against evolution in the  absence of duplication events, our results suggest that the Hox genes are evolving in a  circuitous route in the absence of duplications while respecting ancestral constraints.

Revising genre, re-visioning agency: Eighteenth-Century women writers who romanced utopia
Creators: name: Hinton, Melanie
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013
Subjects: Romance
Utopia

description: Critical feminist discussion of eighteenth-century British women writers and their solutions to the lack of agency inherent in female experience often highlight works such as Mary Astell's feminotopia, A Serious Proposal to the Ladies (1694), that create female communities, thus emancipating women from British society and the patriarchal system so often seen as the root of all female powerlessness. Feminist scholars are interested in these female communities because of their striking liberalism in a century marked by conservative ideals of feminine behavior. This study, however, highlights the work of four women writers during the last half of the eighteenth century who develop their own solutions for greater female agency. These writers are, specifically, Elizabeth Montagu, Sarah Scott, Frances Burney, and Charlotte Lennox. Instead of a separatist model, and often in reaction to such a model, these women writers imagine a model for female empowerment that fully integrates woman within British society. These models, while mitigated in the degree of change they allow, are proto-feminist in their ability to believe society needed women, and to imagine a greater scope for woman's capacity than other women. These writers build their models, I argue, using romance as a strategy to resist and critique societal norms, while also educating readers in the logic of their solutions. Their use of romance interacts with other genres, allowing each writer to model the integration she is encouraging. The generic hybridity also allows their utopian solutions to escape comparison with contemporary male utopian creations, and the interaction between romance and other genres makes romance a symbol for the kind of dreaming each writer's utopian solution will allow.

description: Excess biomass generated during municipal wastewater treatment using biological activated sludge processes is one of the main drawbacks of treatment processes. In this study, two sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were operated and monitored to evaluate, (1) the long-term sustainability of sludge reduction and nutrient removal and (2) fate of carbon in the lab scale reactors as well as in full scale plants run under similar sludge reduction modes. One of the lab scale reactors (called control SBR) was run in standard operational mode at 10-day solids retention time (SRT) while the other reactor (called modified SBR) was run in sludge minimizing mode at nearly 100-day SRT to induce the anaerobiosis of the returned biomass in a sidestream reactor. Furthermore, to compare the overall biomass yields in both reactors, the wasted biomass from the conventional reactor was taken to a conventional anaerobic digester. Overall, both reactors achieved an average PO43--P removal of 85%, NH3-N removal of 99%, and 100% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. The modified SBR consistently showed a biomass yield of 0.136gVSS/gCOD as compared to the control SBR which maintained a biomass yield of 0.34gVSS/gCOD. Overall, the modified SBR generated 60% less biomass than the control SBR. Carbon mass balance and partitioning experiments based on C13 substrate showed that both modified SBR and the associated sidestream reactor showed better mineralization in terms of CO2 production. Furthermore, for the modified SBR, less C13 partitioned into biomass and more C13 went into head space in the form of CO2, thus suggesting why modified SBR enabled low biomass yield. A similar trend was observed for full scale missed liquor samples.

description: Worldwide, anthropogenic contaminants emerge and enter into aquatic systems; their ubiquity in aquatic systems poses serious threats to both human health and  ecological systems. As the demand for water continues to grow with population, treatment of wastewater and remediation of polluted aquatic systems are of critical  concern. Ozonation and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are promising methods for removal of numerous waterborne contaminants. In this thesis, three groups of waterborne organic contaminants have been studied for degradation by uses of ozone and ozone in combination with hydrogen peroxide. Specifically, the study compounds are methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), six endocrine disruptor compounds (EDCs) and  pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) chemicals that include dibutyl phthalate (DBP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), bisphenol A (BPA), triclosan (TCS), and two naphthenic acids (NAs)  including Cyclohexaneacetic acid and Cyclohexanebutyric acid. This study has also  examined a pressure assisted ozonation (PAO) method that employs ozone microbubbles generated by repetitive compression-decompression cycles to treat the study compounds. Degradation has been investigated under different conditions. The results indicate that  ozonation is very effective in removing these contaminants, and that PAO increases treatment efficiency by 10 to 40% for different chemicals. MTBE degradation by 90% was achieved in 36 min from an initial concentration of 12 mg/L. TCS and BPA  iv disappeared completely within minutes of PAO treatment from an initial of 9 mg/L. The removals of four phthalate esters were between 45%~98% in 24 min from initial concentrations of 6.9 - 8.6 mg/L. For NAs, a high concentration of ozone (e.g., 15 mg/L) along with a proper dose of H2O2 (e.g., H2O2/O3 mole ratio 1/1) completely removed the study NAs from an initial concentration of 17 mg/L in 10 min. Varying treatment  parameters significantly influenced treatment outcomes: e.g., addition of H2O2 increased removal percentage of different chemicals by 10 to 30%; increasing compression cycles improved removal of target compounds to a certain degree. Aqueous O3 concentration was an important factor, with increased removal at higher O3 concentration. The pH range between 7 and 10 was more suitable treatment condition than pH 3 for degradation of the target compounds. Initial target compound concentration, however, did not influence removal rate significantly.
