Observing and Reconstructing Subsurface Nanoscale Features Using Dynamic Atomic Force Microscopy
Creators: name: Cadena Vinueza, Maria Jose J.
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The atomic force microscope (AFM), traditionally known as a nanoscale instrument for surface topography imaging and compositional contrast, has a unique ability to investigate buried, subsurface objects in non-destructive ways with very low energy. The underlying principle is the detection of interactions between the AFM probe and the sample subsurface in the presence of an external wave or eld. The AFM is a newcomer to the fi eld of subsurface imaging, in comparison to other available highresolution techniques like transmission or scanning electron microscopy. Nevertheless,AFM offers signi cant advantages for subsurface imaging, such as the operation over a wide range of environments, a broad material compatibility, and the ability to investigatelocal material properties. These make the AFM an essential subsurface characterization tool for materials/devices that cannot be studied otherwise.
This thesis develops a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative framework underpinning the subsurface imaging capability of the AFM. We focus on the detection of either electrostatic force interactions or local mechanical properties, using 2nd-harmonic Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and contact-resonance AFM (CRAFM),respectively. In 2nd-harmonic KPFM we exploit resonance-enhanced detection to boost the subsurface contrast with higher force sensitivity. In CR-AFM we use the dual AC resonance tracking (DART) technique, in which the excitation frequencies are near one of the contact resonance frequencies. Both techniques take advantage of the maximized response of the cantilever at resonance which improves the signal to noise ratio. These enable high-resolution subsurface mapping on a variety of polymercomposites.
A relevant challenge is the ability to reconstruct the properties of the subsurface objects from the experimental observables. We propose a method based on surrogatemodelling that relies on computer experiments using nite element models. The latter are valuable due to the lack of analytical solutions that satisfy the complexity of the geometry of the probe-sample system and sample heterogeneity. We believe this work is of notable interest because offers one of few approaches for the non-destructive characterization of buried features with sub-micron dimensions.

In the process of sharing experiences, more stories are born with authorship that are common while at the same time recognizing the individual opening of the hearer and the teller. In this course, we will explore storytelling as a way to understand the changes that Latin America went through during the twentieth-century: from dictatorships and revolutions to efforts for reconciliation and preservation of memory. The course content will include diverse forms of art, including poetry, mural paintings, photography, testimonies, music, and novels. Equally important, students will be placed in bi-weekly engagement with a Latin American immigrant from the London (Ontario) community. Students will maintain a portfolio to keep notes, reactions, and thoughts about their conversations, class discussions, readings, and own reflections. Based on the portfolio, students will share one story with the rest of the class at the end of the term. Revolutionary movements: we will be able to discern, survive and keep growing in a large part because of its storytelling component, the sharing of experiences from mouth to mouth.

Subjects: Biochar, Kiln, NPK, Carbon, Agricultural Waste

description: Biochar boosts soil fertility and helps plants to withstand drought. Its production locally has been a challenge and that is why an Indigenous Biochar Production Kiln (IBPK) was conceived, designed and fabricated at the Workshop of the Agricultural Technology Department, Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji, Ondo State, Nigeria. IBK convert biomass to carbon-rich organic material through thermal energy. The IBPK has two drums, the Internal Retort Drum (IRD) and External drum of diameters and heights of 350 mm x 600 mm and 500 mm x 800 mm respectively. The total weight of the IBPK was 82.50 kg. The IRD of 116 kg/m3 volume was loaded with 55 kg biomass from wood waste, covered, and placed inside the external drum. The space between the outer wall of the IRD and the inner wall of the outer drum was 75 mm enough to contain firewood lighted and covered to produce the heat needed for the wood waste inside the IRD to convert it to Biochar. Smoke from the IBK escaped through the chimney attached to the external drum’s lid. The operating time for the carbonization was 182 minutes and the conversion efficiency of the IBPK was 71 %. The average temperature of the IBPK during the conversion was 269 °C. The test carried out on the produced Biochar showed the presence of macro elements that included Nitrogen (2.95%), Phosphorus (21.79%), Potassium (4.95%) and Carbon (70.31%). The fabrication cost was Fifty-Two Thousand, Two Hundred Naira only (₦52,200:00). The IBPK is recommended for farmers to produce Biochar as needed for improved farm yield, and young graduates who want to go into Biochar production as a way out of unemployment

description: Emerging viruses are usually endemic to tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, but increased global travel, climate change and changes in lifestyle are believed to contribute to the spread of these viruses into new regions. Many of these viruses cause similar disease symptoms as other emerging viruses or common infections, making these unexpected pathogens difficult to diagnose. Broad-spectrum pathogen detection microarrays containing probes for all sequenced viruses and bacteria can provide rapid identification of viruses, guiding decisions about treatment and appropriate case management. We report a modified Whole Transcriptome Amplification (WTA) method that increases unbiased amplification, particular of RNA viruses. Using this modified WTA method, we tested the specificity and sensitivity of the Lawrence Livermore Microbial Detection Array (LLMDA) against a wide range of emerging viruses present in both non-clinical and clinical samples using two different microarray data analysis methods.

description: Background: Medicines to treat common colds (CC) and upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are widely used among children, but there are only few data about treatments actually applied for these diseases. In the present study we analyze the prevalence and correlations of self-medicated and prescribed drug use for the treatment of CCs and URTIs among children and adolescents in Germany. Methods: Medicine use during the week preceding the interview was recorded among 17,450 children (0–17 years) who participated in the drug interview of the 2003–2006 German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS). The definition of CCs and URTIs in the present study included the WHO-ICD-10 codes J00, J01.0, J01.9, J02.0, J02.9, J03.0, J03.9, J04.0, J06.8, J06.9, J11.1, J11.8, R05 and R07.0. Using the complex sample method, the prevalence and associated socio-demographic factors of self-medication, prescribed medicines and antibiotics were defined. Results: 13.8% of the participating girls and boys use drugs to treat a CC or an URTI. About 50% of this group use prescribed medications. Among the users of prescribed medication, 11.5% use antibiotics for the treatment of these diseases. Looking at all prescribed medicines we find associations with younger age, immigration background, and lower social status. Antibiotic use in particular is associated with female sex, higher age, residency in the former East Germany and immigration background. Conclusions: The use of medicines to treat CCs or URTIs is widespread among children and adolescents in Germany. Thus, longitudinal studies should investigate the risks associated with this drug use. Differences in socio-demographic variables regarding exposure to antibiotic use indicate that there could be an implausible prescribing behavior among physicians in Germany.

description: Die Kryptokokkose ist eine Pilzinfektion, die meist durch Cryptococcus neoformans verursacht wird. Neben den seltener werdenden Erkrankungen bei HIV-Infizierten werden zunehmend Fälle bei anderen Patientenkollektiven wie Organtransplantierten, Patienten mit chronischen Organerkrankungen oder auch bei Patienten ohne Immundefekt diagnostiziert. Das Krankheitsbild reicht von lokalisierten Infektionen der Atemwege oder der Haut bis hin zur typischen Meningoenzephalitis nach hämatogener Dissemination. Da aber auch alle anderen Organe beteiligt sein können, resultiert eine vielgestaltige Präsentation der Erkrankung. Daher muss die Kryptokokkose oft in die differenzialdiagnostischen Überlegungen einbezogen werden. Aufgrund sensitiver Labortests kann die Erkrankung bei disseminierter Infektion rasch gesichert werden. Für therapeutische Entscheidungen sind Patientenfaktoren und die jeweilige Organbeteiligung ausschlaggebend. Während in der ersten Therapiephase bei disseminierten oder schweren lokalen Erkrankungen in der Regel Amphotericin B-Derivate und 5-Flucytosin in Kombination eingesetzt werden, ist nach dieser Induktionstherapie oder bei leichten lokalisierten Infektionen eine Therapie mit Fluconazol indiziert. Echinocandine sind bei der Kryptokokkose nicht wirksam.
description: Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection that is usually caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. Given the decreasing number of cases in HIV-infected patients in developed countries, infections in other patient populations, such as solid organ transplant recipients, patients with chronic organ diseases or even patients without immunodeficiency gain more attention. Due to a possible involvement of many organs, the clinical presentation varies from localized infections of the respiratory tract and the skin, to the characteristic meningoencephalitis or other organs after hematogenous dissemination. Sensitive laboratory tests allow a rapid diagnosis in patients with disseminated infection. Crucial therapeutic decisions depend on the underlying patient condition and the particular organ involvement. The induction therapy of disseminated infections or severe localised infections is based on amphotericin B in combination with 5-flucytosine. In non-severe localised infections and after induction therapy, antifungal treatment with fluconazole is indicated. Echinocandins are not effective in cryptococcosis.

Subjects: subject: Asia

description: In my paper ‘Postmodern Chinoiserie in Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese’ (2014, Literature Compass 11 (1): 1–14), I propose that existing scholarship on the portrayal of Asians and Asian Americans in American comics has largely focused upon racist newspaper cartoons from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and modern Asian-American alternative comics. There exists a small but growing body of academic literature on the depiction of Asian Americans in modern mainstream comics. In this essay I seek to develop the scholarship by analysing Marvel’’s character Hazmat (Jennifer Takeda) in the context of modern depictions of Asians and Asian Americans in American comic books and the postmemory of Nagasaki Hiroshima, and the Japanese internment camps. This paper is organised in two parts. The first focuses upon the ways in which Asians and Asian Americans have historically been depicted (or, in many cases, not depicted) in American comics. The argument includes an examination of the ways in which the Marvel character Hazmat has been written in relation to those stereotypes. The second half of the essay considers the ways in which Hazmat embodies (quite literally) the violence towards Japanese civilians during World War II, and the ethics of exploring the history of genocide through the superhero genre.

description: We describe the application of scattering-type near-field optical microscopy to characterize various semiconducting materials using the electron storage ring Metrology Light Source (MLS) as a broadband synchrotron radiation source. For verifying high-resolution imaging and nano-FTIR spectroscopy we performed scans across nanoscale Si-based surface structures. The obtained results demonstrate that a spatial resolution below 40 nm can be achieved, despite the use of a radiation source with an extremely broad emission spectrum. This approach allows not only for the collection of optical information but also enables the acquisition of near-field spectral data in the mid-infrared range. The high sensitivity for spectroscopic material discrimination using synchrotron radiation is presented by recording near-field spectra from thin films composed of different materials used in semiconductor technology, such as SiO2, SiC, SixNy, and TiO2.

Publisher: name: The Johns Hopkins University Press
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Literature

description: In his seminar, Specters of Marx, Jacques Derrida discusses how one of the essential qualities of the specter is his ability to appear incessantly. The inability to know when the specter may appear, however, not only enforces its haunting quality but also conveys a despairing sense of what Derrida refers to as empty Messianism from which emits "a curious taste of death" (Derrida 169). Derrida also contends that with the empty Messianic wait lies the possibility of hope. In a number of Coetzee's novels, the characters feel they are possessed by demons or ghosts, from which at times they try to flee or control, as such presences summon memories of a past better forgotten or a future at best dreaded. In this paper, I discuss the roles of two mythological deities, Baal and Thoth that symbolically acquire the role of specters in Coetzee's The Master of Petersburg and Disgrace, respectively. In Coetzee's novels, these ancient gods, no longer assume their original mythical role, but instead evolve as premonitions of evil and death.

description: Background: Gene prediction is a challenging but crucial part in most genome analysis pipelines. Various methods have evolved that predict genes ab initio on reference sequences or evidence based with the help of additional information, such as RNA-Seq reads or EST libraries. However, none of these strategies is bias-free and one method alone does not necessarily provide a complete set of accurate predictions. Results: We present IPred (Integrative gene Prediction), a method to integrate ab initio and evidence based gene identifications to complement the advantages of different prediction strategies. IPred builds on the output of gene finders and generates a new combined set of gene identifications, representing the integrated evidence of the single method predictions. Conclusion: We evaluate IPred in simulations and real data experiments on Escherichia Coli and human data. We show that IPred improves the prediction accuracy in comparison to single method predictions and to existing methods for prediction combination.

description: Background: Current studies suggest that the beneficial effect of breastfeeding on overweight and obesity may have been largely overestimated. We examined the relationship between >4 months of full breastfeeding and overweight/obesity in children living in Germany. Methods: We analyzed retrospectively collected data on breastfeeding from children aged 3–17 years who participated in the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS baseline study) between 2003 and 2006 (n = 13163). To minimize confounding, we applied propensity score matching and multivariate logistic regression analyses to estimate the effect of breastfeeding on childhood overweight and obesity. Results: Adjusted analyses of the matched dataset (n = 8034) indicated that children who were breastfed for

description: Axial piston machines are widely used in the industry ranging from aerospace, agriculture, automotive, heavy machinery, etc. These applications require better pumps and motors to meet current market demands such as higher power density in hydraulic units, smarter pumps (diagnostics and prognostics), higher efficiencies, and compactness. The current state-of-the-art in pump design is mostly based on heuristic design approach with very limited use of numerical toolssince the invention of this positive displacement machine until the present time. The numerical tools being used do not capture the physical phenomena in the thin fluid film between the rotating group components. The work presented in this dissertation aims to demonstrate the feasibility of virtual prototyping utilizing a combination of in-house developed multi-domain models and to propose a novel computational based design methodology for axial piston machines. The methodology is an iterative process between the virtual components in 3D CAD models and the function evaluations for the design requirements utilizing the numerical models which provide an accurate prediction to the behavior of the mechanical components working together. To validate the proposed methodology a case study on a 24 cc/rev axial piston machine was carried out. The machine was built virtually, simulated,and optimized for desired performance. A physical prototype was built based on the case study and tested successfullyfor forty-five operating conditions.

Embarrassingly Parallel Statistics and its Applications: Divide & Recombine Methods for Parallel Computation of Quantiles and Construction of K-D Trees for Big-Data
Creators: name: Chakravorty, Aritra
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Statistics not elsewhere classified

description: In Divide & Recombine (D&R), data are divided into subsets, analytic methodsare applied to each subset independently, with no communication between processes;then the subset outputs for each method are recombined. For big data, this providesalmost all of the analytic tasking needed when data are analyzed. It also provideshigh computational performance because typically most of the computation is em-barrassingly parallel, the simplest parallel computation.
Another kind of tasking must address computational performance and numericaccuracy: the computing of functions of all of the data, or “statistics”. For data bigand small, it is often important to compute such statistics for all of the data, whichcan be summaries of the data, such as sample quantiles of continuous variables, orcan process the data into a form that helps analysis, such as dividing the data intorepresentative subsets. Development of computational methods to compute thesestatistics can be challenging.
D&R can be a very effective framework for computing statistics. To supportthis, we introduce the concept of embarrassingly parallel (EP) statistics, both weakand strong. The concept of EP statistics is not entirely new, but has had littledevelopment. The existing methodology is mainly sums of sums. For example, this isdone when computing the necessary statistics for least squares where sums of productsand cross productions are carried out on subsets then summed across subsets. Ourtreatment of EP statistics has taken the concept much further. The outcome is abilityto use EP statistics in conjunction with the use a Fourier series to approximate an optimization criteria. The series terms, which are strongly EP statistics, are summedacross subsets, and the result is optimized. These are EP-F computational methods.
We have so far developed two EP-F computational methods for two widely usedstatistic computations. EP-F-Quantile is for quantiles of big data, and EP-F-KDtreeis for KD-trees. Speed and accuracy of EPF-Quantile are compared with that of thewell-known binning method, which also can be formulated in terms of EP statistics. EPF-KDtree is the first parallel KD-tree computational method of which we areaware. EP and EPF computational methods have potentially many other applicationsto computing statistics.

description: The decline of the language requirement in English doctoral programs will have to be reversed if those in the English profession are to treat global and ethnic studies seriously, to refuse to replicate “spread-eagle” isolationism in their work, to research and teach world literature and English-language literature’s place in it responsibly, and to enrich their thinking with the extraordinary taxonomies that the other modern languages offer.

description: Objective: We aimed to retrospectively reconstruct the timing of transmission events and pathways in order to understand why extensive preventive measures and investigations were not sufficient to prevent new cases. Methods: We extracted available information from patient charts to describe cases and to compare them to the normal population of the ward. We conducted a cohort study to identify risk factors for pathogen acquisition. We sequenced the available isolates to determine the phylogenetic relatedness of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates on the basis of their genome sequences. Results: The investigation comprises 37 cases and the 10 cases with ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase)-producing K. pneumoniae bloodstream infection. Descriptive epidemiology indicated that a continuous transmission from person to person was most likely. Results from the cohort study showed that ‘frequent manipulation’ (a proxy for increased exposure to medical procedures) was significantly associated with being a case (RR 1.44, 95% CI 1.02 to 2.19). Genome sequences revealed that all 48 bacterial isolates available for sequencing from 31 cases were closely related (maximum genetic distance, 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms). Based on our calculation of evolutionary rate and sequence diversity, we estimate that the outbreak strain was endemic since 2008. Conclusions: Epidemiological and phylogenetic analyses consistently indicated that there were additional, undiscovered cases prior to the onset of microbiological screening and that the spread of the pathogen remained undetected over several years, driven predominantly by person-to-person transmission. Whole-genome sequencing provided valuable information on the onset, course and size of the outbreak, and on possible ways of transmission.
