Phylogenetics and homology modeling
Creators: name: Smith, Allen Watkins
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Phylogenetics uses nucleotide and/or amino acid sequences to construct evolutionary trees and reconstruct the sequences (or other characteristics) of ancestral organisms. Proteins function almost entirely in their folded form, but phylogenetic work typically does not directly consider the structures into which protein sequences fold. Homology modeling uses a known protein structure to model the structure of a similar sequence, with the similarity arising from an evolutionary relationship - thus "homology". However, homology modeling typically does not explicitly use evolutionary data, even though the modeled proteins are part of evolved biological systems. Combining these fields is likely to be fruitful: since proteins are the product of organismal evolution, an examination of evolution is needed to understand them; since proteins are a vital component of all known organisms, an examination of protein evolution is needed to understand organismal evolution. Protein structure is more conserved than protein sequence, especially for vital proteins. Therefore, the structure of a putative ancestral protein is likely to be close enough to modern-day structures to be modeled, especially if done in short evolutionary stages with each step having few sequence differences. It should therefore be possible to go down a tree, homology modeling the structure of a protein at each stage, then go back up again to a modern-day sequence to derive a structure for said sequence (usable as a test if already experimentally known). While the latter point has not been reached, considerable progress has been made. Ways in which structural data can assist in phylogenetics, such as whether predicted ancestral sequences are structurally realistic, have been found. A database of manually reviewed structural alignments of a variety of interesting proteins (with additional sequence alignments) has been created, as has a database of structures versus species. Some interesting phylogenetic findings have been made and a supertree construction technique explored. The phylogenetic program MrBayes has been enhanced, as have been the alignment capabilities of the program HMMer. An open-source suite of programs for homology modeling and phylogenetic analysis has been created; while not as automated as is desirable, these programs may serve as the basis for future work.
Subject to Diana: picturing desire in French Renaissance courtly aesthetics
Creators: name: Zalamea, Patricia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: My dissertation examines the visual representations of Diana, the chaste goddess of the hunt, in sixteenth-century French court imagery as a major example of how the intertwining of classical myth and allegory played a central role in shaping a new aesthetic and cultural identity at the French Renaissance court. Beginning with the reign of Francis I [r.1515-47], but in particular during the reign of his son and successor Henri II [r.1547-59], images of Diana pervaded the French Renaissance court, and were produced in a variety of media. Whereas earlier studies have emphasized Diana as a role model exemplifying chastity and ideal courtly behavior, my study reassesses Diana's significance for the French court in terms of intrinsically artistic concerns, such as patron identity, transference of motifs, shared imagery, and the emergence of a new style that defined French Renaissance art. At once a forbidden image and an object of desire, Diana embodies a series of questions about the representation of ideal beauty, and the tensions between chastity, desire, and the depiction of nudity. This dissertation considers two major aspects that place the Diana iconography within a new context, while pointing to a set of underlying themes: namely, the symbolic association of Diana with the figure of the French king, a tradition that harks back to late-medieval manuscripts and royal hunting practices, and the connection between Diana and questions about artistic and intellectual production that emerged along with the new French aesthetics of the sixteenth century. Part I examines the allegorical hermeneutics of late-medieval manuscript traditions and their continuity into the Renaissance, in their association between chastity, hunting, knowledge, and the representation of nudity. Part II traces the development of sixteenth-century print culture and the recasting of mythological themes in sensual terms, by mapping the conflation between Diana and the Nymph of Fontainebleau. Based on a close reading of a painting by François Clouet, Part III probes the issues of representation underlying the numerous depictions of Diana and her nymphs while bathing, where nudity is simultaneously eroticized and moralized, thus returning to some of the interpretive problems discussed in Part I.

Analysis of process control baseline data using data mining
Creators: name: Zhang, Hang
name: Zhang, Hang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: There are two phases in multivariate statistical process control (MSPC). In phase I, we model baseline data off-line to characterize the process. Baseline data is a collection of observations describing successful manufacturing. In phase II, we compare on-line observations to these models to determine whether the process is in control. This dissertation addresses four questions to improve phase I analysis: (1) How many operational modes are in baseline data? (2) In a large historical dataset collected over a long time period, which periods are the baseline? (3) In profile baseline data, are there outlier profiles? (4) When should the phase I model be updated? Each operational mode appears as a cluster in baseline data. To address the first question, we propose a new method to determine the number of clusters with all of the following critical features: it determines if there is only one cluster, the most common case; it identifies convex or non-convex clusters; and it is insensitive to user-specified parameters. No existing method has them all. Simulations show that the proposed method works well.We propose a new method to address the second question, where historical data may be collected during both baseline and unsuccessful periods. The identified baseline periods are reasonably long, and have the best product quality with a stable distribution. Through simulated and real datasets, the proposed method shows its robustness to various distributions, in contrast to the existing change point identification method that is very sensitive to the distribution. We address the third question in the context of complex profiles. We treat complex profiles as high-dimension vectors. We apply the   control chart to identify outliers. Applied to simulated and real datasets, it demonstrates better performance on complex profiles than the existing nonlinear regression method. We address the fourth question by testing whether the correlation matrix changes from the baseline. The correlation matrix describes relationships among variables. We propose a new method to diagnose the responsible variables when the change is indicated. We also discuss the future work of applying MSPC and data mining technologies on data from a brain neural system.

description: Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer deaths in recent years. In the United States alone, there are more than 170,000 new lung cancer cases diagnosed every year, majority of which will eventually become lethal. Tobacco smoking is the major causal factor for the development of lung cancer, responsible for ~85% of the incidence. Although smoking cessation at an early age could substantially reduce lung cancer risk, for those who stopped smoking at an older age the lung cancer incidence still remains high. This observation suggests that the respiratory damages caused by tobacco smoking in early life persist for many years and ultimately contribute to the development of lung cancer. To date, the major challenge of lung cancer research is to identify and characterize the molecular network that regulate the onset and progression of lung cancer in human. We have previously identified a family of tumor suppressor microRNAs (miRNAs) as the bona fide p53 transcription targets. Using a mouse model for non-small cell lung cancer, we have preliminary data suggesting the role of mir-34 miRNAs in repressing lung cancer development. In this application, we propose to use mouse tumor models, cell culture studies and clinical studies to characterize the functions of mir-34 miRNAs in tumor suppression in lung cancer. We will investigate the effect of miR-34 deficiency during the initiation and progression of NSCLC and SCLC, examine the miR-34 functions on tumor maintenance, and elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumor suppression by miR-34 miRNAs. Given the small size of the miRNA molecules, these gene regulators can be easily detected and can be delivered in vivo with relative ease. Therefore, candidate tumor suppressor miRNAs, if functionally confirmed, can have great potentials for the development of novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic agents. The results from our proposed studies will undoubtedly provide fundamental insights into the molecular mechanisms for lung cancer regression downstream of p53. More importantly, these studies are likely to generate novel therapeutic approaches with profound impacts on cancer treatment in clinics.

description: Due to the exponential increase of subthreshold and gate leakage currents with technology scaling, leakage power is increasingly significant in CMOS circuits as the technology scales down. The leakage power is as much as 50% of the total power in the 90nm technology and is becoming dominant in more advanced CMOS technologies with smaller feature sizes. Also, the leakage in active mode is significantly larger due to the higher die temperature in active mode. Although many leakage reduction techniques have been proposed, most of them can only reduce the circuit leakage power in standby mode. In this thesis, we present a novel active leakage power reduction technique using dynamic power cutoff, called the dynamic power cutoff technique (DPCT). To reduce the active leakage power, we target the idle part of the circuit when it is in active mode. First, the switching window for each gate, during which a gate makes its transitions, is identified by static timing analysis. Then, the circuit is optimally partitioned into different groups based on the minimal switching window (MSW) of each gate. Finally, power cutoff transistors are inserted into each group to control the power connections of that group. The power of each gate is only turned on during a small timing window within each clock cycle, which results in significant active leakage power savings. Standby leakage can also be reduced by turning off the power connections of all gates all of the time once the circuit is idle. This technique also reduces dynamic power and short-circuit power by reducing the circuit glitches.Experimental results on ISCAS '85 benchmark circuits at the logic level modeled using 70nm Berkeley Predictive Models show up to 90% of active leakage, 99% of standby leakage, up to 54% of dynamic, and up to 72% of total power savings. DPCT can also reduce the maximal voltage drop on the power grid by more than 30% on average. With process variations, the average total power and active leakage power savings will be reduced by 12.7% and 14.8%, respectively. In spite of that, DPCT still gives excellent power savings, which are 73.6% of active leakage power and 34.7% of total power under process variations. We also implemented the layouts of a 16-bit multiplier and a c432 using DPCT. The experimental results for the layout designs confirmed the effectiveness of DPCT in physical level design.

description: This study compared rates of gambling between Asian American and White undergraduate college students. No difference was found between the rates of the two groups. It also examined the gambling behavior of Asian American undergraduate college students in relation to a number of factors including alcohol use, sensation seeking, distress, and sex. Although some of these factors have been studied extensively among other ethnic groups, there has been little research conducted on the gambling patterns of Asian American students.  Sex was found to be a significant predictor of Asian American student gambling, with males reporting more gambling and more engagement in different types of gambling activities than women.  Furthermore, those with a higher tendency to experiment with novel and stimulating activities were also more likely to report more gambling than those who scored lower on novelty-oriented sensation seeking.  This study did not find evidence that distress or alcohol use played a significant role in gambling behaviors in Asian American college students.  There were, however, limitations to the measures and design that reduced the chances of significant findings on these variables.  Future directions for Asian American gambling research are discussed.

description: Wireless networks are built upon a shared medium that makes it easy for adversaries to conduct radio interference, or jamming attacks, which effectively cause a denial of service (DoS)of either transmission or reception functionalities. These attacks can be easily accomplished by an adversary by either bypassing MAC-layer protocols, or emitting a radio signal targeted at jamming a particular channel. In this thesis, we examine the issue ofjamming wireless networks, and sensor networks in particular, by studying both the attack and defense side of the problem. On the attack side, we present four different jamming attack models that can be used by an adversary to disable the operation of a wireless network, and evaluate their effectiveness in terms of how eachmethod affects the ability of a wireless node to send and receive packets. In order to cope with the problem of jamming, we discuss a two-phase strategy involving the diagnosis of the attack, followed by a suitable defense strategy. For detection, we show that single measurement statistics are not enough to reliably classify thepresence of a jamming attack, and propose multimodal detection methods. To cope with jamming, we propose a technique, channelsurfing, which involves evading the interferer in the spectral domain. Several different channel surfing models are presented, and we evaluate their effectiveness using a testbed of MICA2 motes.Beyond channel surfing, we overview a second defense strategy whereby it is possible to establish a low data rate jamming resistant communication channel by modulating the interarrival times between jammed packets.

description: Oral cancer is a tobacco-related disease where annually there are 38,000 new cases in the US and 400,000 new cases globally. One patient dies from oral cancer every hour in the U.S. In some parts of the world, including the Indian subcontinent, oral cancer is a major cancer problem. Chronic exposure to tobacco products is the classic and most common etiological factor for OSCC, responsible for 95% of oral cancer. Most oral cancers are diagnosed at late stages and the five year survival rate of oral cancer has not changes in the last three decades, highlighting the urgent need for the development of effective early screening technologies to identified patients with oral cancer.

 The applicant’s laboratory at UCLA is the leading laboratory in the development of basic and translational sciences for salivary diagnostics, including five diagnostic alphabets (proteome, transcriptome, micro-RNA, metabolome and microbiome). We have also developed point-of-care biosensor technologies that can detect salivary biomarkers with exquisite sensitive in a multiplexible, real time and automated platform.

 Using these optimized saliva diagnostic tools, we have development highly discriminatory salivary proteomic and transcriptomic biomarkers for oral cancer detection. A combination of five proteomic candidate biomarkers yielded a ROC value of 93%, sensitivity of 90%, and specificity of 83% in detecting OSCC whereas a combination of the salivary transcriptome biomarkers yielded sensitivity (91%) and specificity (91%) in distinguishing oral cancer from the controls. This TRDPR Research Project Award application is to test the hypothesize that the discovered and pre-validated salivary biomarker can be independently validated in prospective study in a relevant clinical setting to assess if a persistent suspicious oral lesion is cancer or not. This three-year application is to advance the pre-validated salivary oral cancer biomarkers to a clinical panel that can be definitively evaluated in a multi-center clinical validation study permitting the subsequent next steps of regulatory approval and product development.

 Two specific aims are in place to test the central hypothesis. Aim 1 is to enroll 1260 subjects with persistent suspicious oral lesion from the Oral Mucosal Clinics at UCLA and NYU during the first two years. Aim 2 is to perform individual biomarker validation in an independent cohort of persistent suspicious oral mucosal lesions; developed a panel of highly discriminatory biomarkers for oral cancer detection and then validate the panel in an independent cohort of persistent suspicious oral lesions.

description: Riflettendo sull'antisemitismo, Sartre ne rivela la struttura metafisica, che implica una concezione dell'immagine e dell'immaginario che sono il correlato della vita individuale e sociale; d'altra parte, la rappresentazione dell'“ebreo” che l'antisemita costruisce e alimenta è strettamente dipendente da un'idea impraticabile di identità e coincidenza con sé stesso. Sulla base di questa analisi, il saggio tenta di mostrare quali implicazioni possano avere i riferimenti del saggio di Sartre per riflettere sull'immagine dell'uomo oggi.

In reflecting on anti-Semitism, Sartre reveals its metaphysical structure, which implies a concept of image and imagery that are the correlate of both individual and social life; on the other hand, the representation of the “Jew” that the anti-Semite constructs and nurtures are strictly dependent on an unworkable idea of identity and coincidence with himself. Based on this analysis, the essay attempts to show what implications the references of Sartre’s essay may have for thinking about the image of mankind today.

Template-assembled peptide models of the N-peptide helix bundle from HIV-1 Gp41
Creators: name: Xu, Weiming

description: The HIV-1 pandemic is one of the most serious health problems facing the world today. Infection of target cells by HIV-1 is initiated by fusion of viral and cell membranes, which is mediated by the viral glycoproteins, gp120 and gp41. After initial cell binding by gp120, the folding of gp41 to form a stable six-helix bundle structure is directly associated with membrane fusion.  This helix bundle is composed of an α-helical trimer of gp41 N-helices, with three copies of the α-helical gp41 C-peptides folded onto it in an antiparallel orientation.  Peptides that interfere with the formation of this six-helix bundle structure by targeting either the N-helix or the C-helix are believed to be able to block the cell fusion process and therefore prevent HIV-1 infection. In this study, we successfully synthesized three-helix peptide structures of gp41 as models of the internal N-helix bundle, by assembling three copies of N-peptides onto three-fold symmetric templates. The templates were derived from cis,cis-1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (Kemp's Triacid, KTA) or tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN), which represent choices of rigid and flexible molecules, respectively, for organization of the folding of the N-peptide three-helix bundle.Biophysical analysis of the four synthetic model structures, KTA-3N29, TREN-3N29, KTA-3N29b and TREN-3K-N29b, demonstrated that, at neutral pH, they all exist as monomers with high helix contents. Binding isotherms, measured by circular dichroism spectropolarimetry in the presence of physiological salt, indicated that KTA-3N29b binds three copies of the C-peptide native sequence, with a KD of about 260 nM, while TREN-3K-N29b binds to C-peptide with a KD in the low-micromolar range. Within the scope of this investigation, KTA-Br, the relatively more rigid template derived from KTA, was the best design for a template for the N-peptide bundle, since it generated the most helical, and most stable three-helix bundle structure with the highest binding affinity for C-peptides. These features of KTA-3N29b demonstrate that this templated three-helix bundle serves as a functional model for the native N-peptide structure that will allow detailed studies of the folding and thermodynamic stability of the gp41 six-helix bundle, and may aid the future development of potent HIV-1 fusion inhibitors and immunogens.
