description: The presence of harmful airborne particulate matter of biological origin has been associated with variety of negative health effects. In addition, there is a real treat of malliciouse release of hazardouse bioaerosol to public sectors. To protect the population at risk from bioaerosol exposure, an effective bioaerosol detection system is urgently needed that enables a rapid and accurate bioaerosol sampling, identification, and quantification in air samples. As an effective bioaerosol monitorin system requires both an effective air sampling device and rapid sample analysis technique with high sensitivity, the performance of RCS High Flow was investigated with culture-based quantification technique in Chapter 1. The Results showed that the test sampler would collect more than 80 % of common fungal spores and more than 50 % of airborne bacteria larger than 1.1 mu m. However the biological performance of the sampler determined using a culturable bacterial counting method was significantly affected by environmental conditions, characteristics of sampler type, and consequently caused an underestimation in quantification. Therefore, in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, Quantitative Real-Time Polymeratse Chain Reaction (QPCR) was applied to count the total bioaerol number in air samples. The results showed that successful bioaerosol quantification using QPCR requires not only to understand the characteristics of bioaerosol to be investigated and its sampling methodology, but also to develop study-specific standard curves. To increase the reliability of the method, the study-specific standrad curves associated with factors such as bacterial species, cell suspenssion preparation methods, QPCR methods should be developed and used for quantifications. To this end, the developed QPCR assay was applied to test the performance of a novel bioaerosol sampler (EPSS). The test results indicated a successful application of QPCR method to test performance of bioaerosol samplers. By coupling with an effective bioaerosol sampling device, this QPCR assay could increase the reliability of bioaerosol sampling systems and allow timely and effective quantification of aerosol samples. Overall, the findings in this dissertation provide the general guidelines to develop an effective bioaerosol monitoring system by setting-up the study-specific protocol of QPCR assay capable of determining total cell numbers in air samples. The improved bioaerosol sampling system enabling rapid quantification of bioaerosols with high sensitivity may be applied as a basis for developing bioaerosol detection systems capable of detecting even small bioaerosol concentrations thus providing useful information needed to understand the bioaerosol exposure dose and response relationship.

Acetaminophen confers neuroprotection during early cerebral ischemia-reperfusion
Creators: name: Baliga, Sunanda S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. It usually occurs from a clot blocking a cerebral artery, resulting in cerebral ischemia and infarction. Few stroke therapeutics are available that definitively improve patient outcome. Acetaminophen is a readily available, inexpensive drug with a good safety profile - properties desirable of a neuroprotectant. We have previously shown acetaminophen to be effective following myocardial infarction. Since similar cell-destructive events occur during cerebral ischemia as in myocardial infarction, we sought to determine whether acetaminophen would protect neuronal cells in a similar fashion. Biochemical and molecular assays were employed to assess cell death and mitochondrial function. Acetaminophen significantly reduced cerebral infarct size, mitochondrial swelling and rupture as well as apoptosis. Acetaminophen also preserved mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, acetaminophen prevented cerebral edema, as seen histopathologically. Taken together, these data suggest that acetaminophen is effective in preventing neuronal stroke damage.

A retrospective cohort study of the effect of mobility during pregnancy and traffic exposure on adverse reproductive outcomes in Washington State, 1992-2004
Creators: name: Brown, Sylvia R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Numerous studies have investigated the association between air pollution and adverse reproductive outcomes. Many estimated exposure at the birth residence. Previous research has indicated that up to 32% of mothers change residency during pregnancy.  Failure to account for this mobility may result in exposure misclassification. We assessed the frequency and characteristics of mobile mothers, the association between mobility and term low birth weight (LBW), preterm delivery (PTD) and small for gestational age (SGA) and the effect of a residency change on the association between these outcomes and traffic exposure, a proxy for air pollution.  We used routinely collected time-at-current residency data collected on the Washington State birth certificate since 1989 and state-provided traffic counts  We found that a large proportion (32%) of women in Washington State moved during pregnancy and that almost half of these (45%) moved in the third trimester.  Compared to non-movers, movers were younger, less educated, unmarried, on Medicaid and unemployed and moved to neighborhoods that were more urbanized, less residentially stable, and had higher percentages of rental and vacant housing units.  We found that, multiparous movers, compared to multiparous non-movers, had elevated odds ratios for LBW, PTD and SGA but that primaparous movers, compared to primaparous non-movers, had smaller odds ratios for these outcomes.  Finally we found that the birth residences of LBW, PTD and SGA births, compared to residences without these outcomes, and the birth residences of movers, compared to that of non-movers, were located closer to roadways and had higher weighted traffic exposures.  We observed higher adjusted odds ratios for our outcomes of interest for movers compared to non-movers for those living within 750 ft. of a roadway compared to living more than 750 ft. from a roadway but higher adjusted odds ratios for non-movers, compared to movers, for the quintiles of weighted traffic exposure for births within 750 ft. of a major roadway.  It is unclear whether the different effects we observed for movers vs. non-movers are due to residual confounding or exposure misclassification. However, our results do suggest that mobility during pregnancy remains a factor to be considered in similar analyses.

description: H. nigropunctatum (von Linstow, 1883) n. comb.
Type host. “Akatza” (unknown species). Listed as being from “ Numineus arcuatum ” (unknown species, but likely a typo)— Witenberg (1923). This host species was likely the Eurasian or common curlew, Numenius arquata (Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae).
Type locality. Turkestan, Russian Federation; specific type locality unknown.
Previously proposed synonym. Cyclocoelum (Postpharyngeum) ovopunctatum (Stossich, 1902) — Witenberg (1923).
Remarks. von Linstow (1883) provided a minimal description without figures of Monostomum nigropunctatum von Linstow, 1883, but this species was transferred to Corpopyrum (= Haematotrephus) by Witenberg (1923), and maintained in Corpopyrum byYamaguti (1971). Witenberg (1923, 1926) provided additional information on the species, but also did not illustrate it. The only measurements available for this species are a body size (11,000 x 2,500) and the size of an egg (170 x 80)— Yamaguti (1971) and it therefore could not be included in our keys of species. We consider it to be a species inquirenda. It has a pretesticular ovary that forms a triangle with the diagonal testes (Haematotrephinae), the genital pore is postpharyngeal and the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly, placing it in Haematotrephus. It is noteworthy that this species is similar to Haematotrephus fasciatus Stossich, 1902 by lacking an oral sucker and apparently was reported from the same host species (Numenius arquata) from generally the same geographical region (Russia vs Europe); however, the egg sizes for H. fasciatus were not reported. No oral or ventral sucker described—von Linstow (1883); Witenberg (1923).

Empirical wonder
Creators: name: Capoferro, Riccardo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: "Empirical Wonder" focuses on the emergence of the fantastic in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British culture. To do so, it preliminarily formulates an inclusive theory of the fantastic centering on nineteenth- and twentieth-century genres. The origins of such genres, this study argues, reside in the epistemological shift that attended the rise of empiricism, and their formal and historical identity becomes fully visible against the backdrop of pre-modern culture. While in pre-modern world-views no clear-cut distinction between the natural and the super- or the non-natural existed, the new epistemology entailed the emergence of boundaries between the empirical and the non-empirical, which determined, on the level of literary production, the opposition between the realistic and the non-realistic. Along with these boundaries, however, emerged the need to overcome them. In the seventeenth century, the religious supernatural and the existence of monsters were increasingly being questioned by modern science, and a variety of attempts were made to enact a mediation between what was perceived as unmistakably real and the problematic phenomena that were threatened by the empirical outlook: apparition narratives were used, for instance, to persuade skeptics of the presence of otherworldly beings, and travelogues often presented monsters as if they were empirical entities. Most of these attempts became soon incompatible with scientific culture, more and more normative, so the task of mediation was assumed by literature. Apparition narratives, originally conceived as factual texts, were progressively aestheticized; analogously, imaginary voyages grew different from fictionalized travelogues -- the success of Gulliver's Travels resetting the genre's main conventions and establishing a distinctly fictional model. Both apparition narratives and imaginary voyages emerged as self-consciously literary, that is, aesthetic, genres, bridging the gap between the empirical and the non-empirical. The origins of the fantastic ended when its mediatory task gave way to other concerns. Although on a residual level the mediation between the empirical and the non-empirical persisted, the fantastic's main preoccupations changed: in imaginary voyages its distinctive devices were used to dramatize or validate colonial practices, and Gothic fiction disconnected itself from the moral framework typical of apparition narratives.
The effect of QoI fungicides on monocyclic components of peach brown rot epidemics caused by monilinia fructicola
Creators: name: Burnett, Alison
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Brown rot is the most significant disease infecting peach orchards in the United States and is caused by the ascomycete Monilinia fructicola. Blossom blight, twig cankers and fruit rot are disease symptoms that develop over the course of a season. Demethylation inhibitor fungicides, or DMIs, have been used for over twenty years to effectively control brown rot. Quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs), also known as strobilurin fungicides, are a relatively new class of fungicides previously shown to control brown rot when applied as protectants. We examined the effects of azoxystrobin, trifloxystrobin and a mixture of pyraclostrobin + boscalid on blossom blight and fruit infections. Peach trees were sprayed at different rates, volumes and timing intervals to investigate the possible curative properties of these strobilurins. Results showed that the most effective fungicide to control colonization of a peach fruit was azoxystrobin. Sporulation of fruit infections, as well as blossom blight cankers, was best controlled by applications of trifloxystrobin. This fungicide reduced sporulation by 89% on fruit and 71% on cankers when applied at the highest labeled rate. These data indicated that in addition to their known protectant activity, QoI fungicides exhibit specific curative properties that provide control during other phases of the brown rot infection cycle. In recent years in the southeastern United States peach growing region, studies have found DMI-resistant isolates of M. fructicola. Eleven isolates of M. fructicola taken from Southern New Jersey were screened for resistance using a PCR-RFLP method. One out of the eleven isolates examined showed similar genetic components to those isolates resistant to DMI fungicides, indicating that resistant strains exist in New Jersey orchards. Given this finding, the incorporation of strobilurins into the commercial spray program will be an important and necessary strategy to avoiding widespread DMI resistance in New Jersey. Since our results demonstrated good to excellent curative properties, particularly as anti-sporulants, we hypothesize that early- to mid-season deployment of the strobilurins will provide the greatest benefit in reducing development of brown rot epidemics during the harvest season.

description: In my dissertation, I explore the relationship between grace and free will in the Commedia, analyzing the redemptive process in the Purgatorio, and the contrapasso in the Inferno.  My close examination of the theological, philosophical and literary contexts of free will explores the moral theories that helped to shape Dante's views on sin, divine justice and personal responsibility.  I discuss how justifying grace, without infringing upon the free will, repairs the purgatorial pilgrims' wounded natures and liberates the will from the desire to sin.  I devote particular attention to the purpose of infernal punishment which unites the sinner to his vice, allowing him to wallow in his wicked moral choices, and to the purpose of purgatorial punishment which redirects the will towards virtue. Ultimately, I claim that free will without the guidance of grace leads souls in the Commedia to damnation.

description: The decade of the 2000s has witnessed the rise of the iPod, a well-marketed mp3 player whose massive storage capacity and ever-shrinking size has extended the boundaries of personal music players to previously unthinkable proportions.  And as digital music has expanded its own boundaries, it has spilled over several others, allowing us the opportunity to reconsider many of our musical assumptions.Specifically, I examine the iPod in relation to production and marketing techniques, human-technological hybridity, music hermeneutics, genre distinctions, male music collecting stereotypes, and the urban experience in New York City.  The major assumption from which this work proceeds is that the iPod's relationship to culture is dynamic; the iPod doesn't wholly shape culture, nor is it wholly shaped by culture.  Rather, each influences and alters the other, as culture and product evolve alongside one another.The primary theme that runs through this study is the listener's relationship to a listening device.  How does a music medium affect the way we hear music, and how do our listening habits dictate the functions of an mp3 player?  By keeping these questions in the foreground, I privilege contemporary listening habits in order to best understand not only the iPod, but also broader popular music culture in the early twenty-first century.

An integrated biomarker approach for assessing exposure and effects of  endocrine disruptors and other contaminants in killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) from the New York-New Jersey harbor estuary
Creators: name: Bugel, Sean M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: A multi-tiered approach was used to evaluate killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) health by examining a suite of biomarkers in killifish inhabiting the heavily industrialized Newark Bay and a reference population in Tuckerton, NJ. The general hypothesis of this study was that Newark Bay killifish would exhibit biomarker responses indicative of impaired health when compared to a reference population from Tuckerton, NJ. The biomarkers investigated included classical endpoints (histopathology, morphometrics, gonad maturation), hepatic mRNA expression (CYP1A, metallothionein, vitellogenin I), gonadal aromatase mRNA expression, hepatic protein levels (CYP1A and vitellogenin I) and chemical exposure analyses (bile PAHs). Newark Bay fish had significantly higher levels of bile PAHs compared to reference fish. Females had significantly higher concentrations of naphthalene, pyrene and benzo[a]pyrene (3, 6 and 4 fold higher, respectively, p<0.05). Males had significantly higher concentrations of pyrene (7-fold higher, p<0.05), and higher concentrations of naphthalene (4-fold higher, p=0.06) and benzo[a]pyrene (9-fold higher, p=0.07). Histological lesions of the liver and pancreas in Newark Bay fish were similar to reference fish. Newark Bay fish had significantly higher expression of hepatic CYP1A for both males and females (7 and 3 fold higher, respectively, p<0.05) and CYP1A protein levels for both males and females (5 and 8 fold higher, p<0.05). Endocrine disruption in male gonads is demonstrated by a decreased gonad weight, altered testis development and upregulated aromatase expression (3-fold, p<0.05), which indicates exposure to endocrine active compounds. Efforts to strip spawn Newark Bay females produced few viable eggs, while at the same time Tuckerton females produced large numbers of viable eggs. There was a significant increase in the percent of pre-vitellogenic follicles (43% at Tuckerton, 64% at Newark Bay) and a significantly decreased percent of follicles at the mid-vitellogenic and mature stages (25% at Tuckerton, 3% at Newark Bay) in Newark Bay females (p<0.05). Vitellogenin mRNA and protein (egg yolk-protein) was significantly decreased in Newark Bay females (6-fold lower mRNA, 27-fold lower protein, p<0.05) while gonadal aromatase (produces 17β-estradiol) was significantly increased (210-fold higher, p<0.05). Killifish in the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary are exposed to high amounts of PAHs and aryl hydrocarbon agonists and their reproductive health is impaired. Impaired reproductive health is possibly due to disruption of steroid signaling by aryl hydrocarbon receptor-estrogen receptor crosstalk leading to decreased vitellogenin production.

Explore the function of KEL-8 in oxidative stress response and search for KEL-8 interacting proteins
Creators: name: Chen, Daiying

Year: 2009

description: Previous work in our lab identified KEL-8, a BTB-Kelch superfamily protein, as a substrate receptor for a Cul3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a role in the turnover of GLR-1 AMPA-type glutamate receptors in neurons.  C. elegans kel-8 is similar in sequence to Keap1, which encodes a BTB-Kelch protein that negatively regulates the oxidative stress response pathway, leading us to hypothesize that kel-8 is also involved in oxidative stress response, repressing the expression of oxidative stress response genes. We have two major questions: what is the role of KEL-8 in oxidative stress and what are the targets of KEL-8. In order to answer the first question, we used the oxidative stress reporter transgene Pgcs-1::gfp. The gcs-1 gene encodes a phase II detoxification enzyme, γ--glutamine cysteine synthase, and is expressed in the intestine in response to oxidative stress reagents.  I tested the expression level of Pgcs-1::gfp in kel-8(od38) nonsense mutants and found that the gcs-1 expression level in kel-8 is constitutively high compared to wild-type animals.  Our preliminary results indicate that KEL-8 functions similarly to Keap1 to repress the oxidative stress response. However, the repression phenotype is inconsistent. In addition, we did a yeast two-hybrid screen to search for targets or other interacting proteins of KEL-8, and we found 8 candidates. They are ZC434.8, ric-4, F32D8.12, pccb-1, ssq-4, dim-1, aly-3, and smo-1. Further analyses need to be done to determine whether these are biological meaningful interactions.

description: Classification of Ponerinae Proposed Here
Ponerinae contains two tribes, Platythyreini, with the single genus Platythyrea, and Ponerini with the remaining genera. Ponerini is here divided into six informal genus groups based on molecular phylogenetic results (Schmidt, 2013). Firm morphological synapomorphies have not been found for all of these groups, and their relationships are still unresolved, but the monophyly of each is generally well supported by the available evidence.

Diagnostic characters of larvae: In contrast to the other Hydryphantidae reported here relatively small in dimensions (e.g. length of idiosoma, leg, chelicera).
Remarks: The taxonomic state of T. rivalis Koenike, 1912, proposed as a synonym of T. palustris by Lundblad (1962), is still an unsolved problem (Gerecke, pers. comm.). The larval description of Biesiadka & Cichocka (1990) for T. rivalis does not include details that enable a separation from T. palustris.

Year: 2009

description: New media technologies have become embedded into the daily life of college students. This study explores the relationship between new media use habits and possible prosocial and consumer behavioral outcomes. New media dependency, a psychological construct posited here, explores the interaction effects of new media uses with outcomes. Methodologies included focus group interviews followed by an extensive survey of Korean college students. The survey data were then used to build a series of regression models. In the proposed models, the analyses indicate that new media use habits and behavioral patterns predict outcomes. New media dependency predicted 32% 24% and 27% 11% of consumer behavior and prosocial behavior outcome variance respectively. And, comprehensive uses and dependency-effect models predicted 34% and 29% respectively. New media dependency has proved itself to be a mediator of the outcome variables. The importance of the dependency relation is emphasized by clarifying the influence of the behavioral patterns of new media use and the embeddedness of new media into daily life. The study provides conceptual and methodological guidelines for new media research in light of dependency and outcomes.

description: To what extent do children developing bilingually show similar grammatical development to their monolingual peers? This study considers overall grammatical development in Russian and English for Russian and English monolingual children and bilingual children at entry to school. The Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) was revised and piloted in preparation for this cross-linguistic project. The study evaluates the utility of the revised IPSyn and its potential for studying larger samples of children. The main question of the study is whether bilingual speakers, exposed to both languages from an early age, are as competent users of their two languages as are their peers who speak a single language at the time they are entering school. The results indicated that statistically, there was no difference between the monolingual and bilingual speakers in their common language as measured by the IPSyn proportionate scores. When examining various categories in the IPSyn measure, the comparison results indicated that in general, bilingual children, as a group, perform as well, and in some categories, better that the monolingual children in either language. The results of the analysis of mixed utterances indicated that bilingual children, overall, were very careful to speak in a language requested to be spoken during storytelling. Most of the instances of mixing came from one child, Vera, when she was engaged in telling the story in English (22.45%). The few instances of mixing produced by other bilingual children were predominantly utterances where the nouns in a different language were inserted.The current study offers a new way to examine grammatical competencies in English and Russian monolingual and Russian-English bilingual five year olds. The proposed assessment methodology can be useful in tracing the micro-development of language in the ages between 5 and 7 leading to better understanding of the linguistic skills and knowledge children acquire at that age.

description: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for data tag control for quantum dot cellular automata (QCA). An example method includes receiving data, associating a data tag with the data, communicating the data tag along a first wire-like element to a local tag decoder, reading instructions from the data tag using the local tag decoder, communicating the instructions to a processing element, communicating the data along a second wire-like element to the processing element, and processing the data with the processing element according to the instructions. A length of the first wire-like elements and a length of the second wire-like element are approximately the same such that communication of the instructions and the data to the processing element are synchronized.

Multiferroicity and magnetoelectric effect in novel complex oxides
Creators: name: Choi, Young Jai
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Multiferroic materials, in which ferroelectric and magnetic ordering are simultaneously present, exhibit unprecedented physical properties due to the coupling between electric and magnetic order parameters. The significant cross-coupling effects in the newly found materials have invigorated research in multiferroics as they offer a new route toward fundamental understanding of how spin and lattice degrees of freedom interact and produce macroscopic phenomena. Furthermore, the emergence of multiple functional properties in such materials has stimulated the application in future generations of novel devices in which polarization can be controlled by a magnetic field or vice versa. Recently, the search for an enhanced coupling between dual order parameters has led to discoveries of new class of materials called magnetism-driven ferroelectrics. In such materials, ferroelectricity is induced by a fundamental new mechanism, by which magnetic orders with broken inversion symmetry result in ferroelectric distortions through exchange striction. The magnetic origin of their ferroelectricity engenders highly sensible ferroelectric properties to applied magnetic fields. Herein, we present discoveries of new multiferroics which reveal intriguing interplays between ferroelectricity and magnetism: (1) Thermal and magnetic reversal of electric polarization in the conical spiral multiferroic, CoCr2O4, (2) Collinear-magnetism-induced ferroelectricity of the Ising chain magnet Ca3CoMnO6, and (3) Multiferroicity in the square-lattice antiferromagnet of Ba2CoGe2O7. The rich physical phenomena among these new materials unveil a fascinating nature of multiferroicity.
