Impact of direct-acting antivirals on extrahepatic manifestations and ethnic disparities : insights from a large population-based cohort using linked health administrative data
Creators: name: Jeong, Dahn

description: Background: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have demonstrated efficacy in reducing morbidity and mortality related to extrahepatic outcomes of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection. However, population-based evidence assessing the impact of DAA treatment on extrahepatic manifestations (EHMs) and their burden across ethnic groups remains limited. Objective: We evaluated the impact of DAA treatment on incident EHMs and EHM-related mortality risks, while also assessing ethnic disparities in EHMs among people diagnosed with HCV in British Columbia (BC). Methods: We used data from the BC Hepatitis Testers Cohort, including ~1.3 million people tested for or diagnosed with HCV between 1990 and 2015. To assess the impact of DAA treatment on EHMs, we created a 1:1 matched study population of individuals who were treated with DAAs and those who were never treated. We applied inverse probability of treatment weights and competing risk modelling to assess DAA treatment effects on incident EHMs and EHM-related mortality. Ethnic disparities in incident EHMs were examined across East Asians, South Asians, and Other ethnicities, further stratified by HCV treatment status (never treated, before treatment, after treatment, and spontaneously cleared). Results: Successful DAA treatment was associated with reduced risks of renal, cerebrovascular, cardiovascular and neurocognitive conditions (36-48%), but not type 2 diabetes. It also decreased EHM-related mortality risks by 78-84% for all EHMs. In BC, South and East Asians had higher EHM incidence rates compared to other ethnicities, especially among untreated individuals. Following treatment completion, these rates decreased in both Asian groups. Adjusted analyses showed that South Asians had the highest risk of renal diseases and type 2 diabetes, while East Asians had lower risks of cardiovascular diseases and neurocognitive disorders. HCV treatment mitigated ethnic disparities in EHMs, except for diabetes. Conclusions: DAA treatment can significantly reduce the risks of EHMs and EHM-related mortality, while mitigating most ethnic disparities in EHM incidence among Asian populations. These findings emphasize the importance of expanding strategies to diagnose and treat individuals living with HCV as early as possible to improve health outcomes and address ethnic disparities related to EHMs.
title: Targeting Fatty Acid-Activated Pathways in the Somatosensory System

description: Given the dramatic rise in obesity and the diseases linked with it, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the mechanisms that underlie the body's ability to recognize fat. The chemoreception of dietary fat in the oral cavity has largely been attributed to activation of the somatosensory system that relays the textural properties of fat. However, the ability of fatty acids, which are believed to represent the proximate stimulus for fat taste, to activate trigeminal ganglionic neurons has remained unexplored. In general, my research has provided the first evidence of fatty acids activating the somatosensory system by increasing the intracellular calcium concentration and generating receptor potentials. Other experiments were focused on identifying fatty acids-responsive pathways in acute isolated trigeminal neurons involved with fat somatosensory perception. My results revealed that fatty acids-activated pathways involved the release of intracellular calcium stores in subpopulations of trigeminal neurons. By using pseudorabies virus as a "live-cell" tracer, a subpopulation of lingual-innervated trigeminal neurons was labeled. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction on individual neurons showed several transient receptor potential channel markers were expressed in these labeled neurons, which indicated the identification of lingual-innervated neurons was successful. This technique helped resolve the problem of trigeminal neurons being a mixed population of cells, and confirmed the role of the release of intracellular calcium stores in fatty acid-activated pathways. Using patch clamp recording, I discovered that the linoleic acid activated signaling pathway involved the activation of G protein and phospholipase C. I further began to characterize the downstream conductance that is activated by linoleic acid in rat trigeminal neurons. Using perforated patch clamp recording, I have recorded linoleic acid-induced currents that exhibited many of the properties of transient receptor potential-like channels, suggesting that this "cellular sensor" is probably playing an important role in the somatosensory perception of fat. Taken together, this dissertation research has revealed the ability of fatty acids to act as effective tactile stimuli and identified several elements of the fatty acids-activated signaling pathway involved in the somatosensory perception of fat.

description: Biomechanical and clinical gait research observes muscles and tendons in limbs to study their functions and behaviour. Therefore, movements of distinct anatomical landmarks, such as muscle-tendon junctions, are frequently measured. We propose a reliable and time efficient machine-learning approach to track these junctions in ultrasound videos and support clinical biomechanists in gait analysis. In order to facilitate this process, a method based on deep-learning was introduced. We gathered an extensive dataset, covering 3 functional movements, 2 muscles, collected on 123 healthy and 38 impaired subjects with 3 different ultrasound systems, and providing a total of 66864 annotated ultrasound images in our network training. Furthermore, we used data collected across independent laboratories and curated by researchers with varying levels of experience. For the evaluation of our method a diverse test-set was selected that is independently verified by four specialists. We show that our model achieves similar performance scores to the four human specialists in identifying the muscle-tendon junction position. Our method provides time-efficient tracking of muscle-tendon junctions, with prediction times of up to 0.078 seconds per frame (approx. 100 times faster than manual labeling). All our codes, trained models and test-set were made publicly available and our model is provided as a free-to-use online service on https://deepmtj.org/.

description: This study looked at the health beliefs of Maori who live in Utah, U.S. and examined what ways those beliefs have evolved from traditional Maori health beliefs. It also looked at the conditions and indicators of those conditions that maintain those health beliefs. A New Zealand study found that Maori older than age 45 years were more likely to have traditional health beliefs, whereas Maori younger than age 45 were more likely to have western-based health beliefs. Using grounded theory, the narratives--from two groups, younger or older than 45 years, where each group was composed of eight randomly selected participants--were collected and analyzed. It was found that all participants held traditional Maori health beliefs. Those beliefs were compatible with the construct of the Maori health model as presented in Te Whare Tapa Wha. This Maori model, along with participants, presented health as holistic, comprising components of physical, mental, spiritual, and family. Participants perceived health as having all four elements interconnected, with spirituality being the key element that binds all the others. Conditions that maintained this belief were time in country; acculturation, with racism possibly providing resistance to that condition; enculturation; and spirituality. Participants' spirituality was the key condition of maintaining their Maori health belief that is presented in this study. Enculturation, as a necessary but insufficient condition of Maori health beliefs, was based on indicators of opportunity, location, family, and social support and how these indicators play out over the life course of individuals. The most important indicator for enculturation was family or other social support for individuals to engage in Maori cultural activities.

description: The viscous Cardassian cosmology is discussed, assuming that there is a bulk viscosity in the cosmic fluid. The dynamical analysis indicates that there exists a singular curve in the phase diagram of viscous Cardassian model. In the viscous PL model, the equation-of-state parameter $w_{k}$ is no longer a constant and it can cross the cosmological constant divide $w_Λ=-1$, in contrast with same problem of the ordinary PL model. Other models possess with similar characteristics. For MP and exp models, $w_{k}$ evolves more near -1 than the case without viscosity. The bulk viscosity also effect the virialization process of a collapse system in the universe: $\frac{R_{vir}}{R_{ta}}$ is increasingly large when the bulk viscosity is increasing. In other words, the bulk viscosity retards the progress of collapse system. In addition, we fit the viscous Cardassian models to current type Ia supernovae data and give the best fit value of the model parameters including the bulk viscosity coefficient $τ$.

high frequency
resistance spot welding system

description: Resistance spot welding is an inexpensive and efficient way of joining metals. It has extensive applications in household appliances and in automotive industries. In traditional spot welding machines 50 Hz welding transformers are commonly used. The drawback associated with these transformers is that they are both heavy and bulky. The advantage of using high frequencies is the reduction in the size of the transformer. The thesis presents development of high frequency welding machines having a high operating frequency of 10 kHz and compares conventional AC 50Hz welding machines as well as resistance spot welding machines having an operating frequency of 1 and 10 kHz. The research results obtained power consumption of RSW system. It is an object of the present thesis is to design transformer 2D FEA model and simulate analysis influence of leakage inductance and magnetic coupling factors for the leakage fluxes on power consumption and output current of RSW system.

description: Automated unit test generation is a well-known methodology aiming to reduce the developers' effort of writing tests manually. Prior research focused mainly on statically typed programming languages like Java. In practice, however, dynamically typed languages have received a huge gain in popularity over the last decade. This introduces the need for tools and research on test generation for these languages, too. We introduce Pynguin, an extendable test-generation framework for Python, which generates regression tests with high code coverage. Pynguin is designed to be easily usable by practitioners; it is also extensible to allow researchers to adapt it for their needs and to enable future research. We provide a demo of Pynguin at https://youtu.be/UiGrG25Vts0; further information, documentation, the tool, and its source code are available at https://www.pynguin.eu.

description: The energy emitted by active galactic nuclei (AGN) may provide a self-regulating process (AGN feedback) that shapes the evolution of galaxies. This is believed to operate along two modes: on galactic scales by clearing the interstellar medium via outflows, and on circumgalactic scales by preventing the cooling and accretion of gas onto the host galaxy. Radio jets associated with radiatively-inefficient AGN are known to contribute to the latter mode of feedback. However, such jets could also play a role on circum-nuclear and galactic scales, blurring the distinction between the two modes. We have discovered a spatially-resolved, massive molecular outflow, carrying $\sim75\%$ of the gas in the central region of the host galaxy of a radiatively-inefficient AGN. The outflow coincides with the radio jet 540 pc offset from the core, unambiguously pointing to the jet as the driver of this phenomenon. The modest luminosity of the radio source ($L\rm_{1.4 GHz}=2.1 \times 10\rm^{23}~\rm W~\rm Hz^{-1}$) confirms predictions of simulations that jets of low-luminosity radio sources carry enough power to drive such outflows. Including kpc-scale feedback from such sources -- comprising of the majority of the radio AGN population -- in cosmological simulations may assist in resolving some of their limitations.

title: A Finite Domain Constraint Approach for Placement and Routing of Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architectures
Creators: name: Saraswat, Rohit
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Scheduling, placement, and routing are important steps in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design. Researchers have developed numerous techniques to solve placement and routing problems. As the complexity of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) increased over the past decades, so did the demand for improved place and route techniques. The primary objective of these place and route approaches has typically been wirelength minimization due to its impact on signal delay and design performance. With the advent of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), the same place and route techniques were applied to FPGA-based design. However, traditional place and route techniques may not work for Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architectures (CGRAs), which are reconfigurable devices offering wider path widths than FPGAs and more flexibility than ASICs, due to the differences in architecture and routing network. Further, the routing network of several types of CGRAs, including the Field Programmable Object Array (FPOA), has deterministic timing as compared to the routing fabric of most ASICs and FPGAs reported in the literature. This necessitates a fresh look at alternative approaches to place and route designs. This dissertation presents a finite domain constraint-based, delay-aware placement and routing methodology targeting an FPOA. The proposed methodology takes advantage of the deterministic routing network of CGRAs to perform a delay aware placement.

description: The bulk chemical composition and interior structure of rocky exoplanets are of fundamental importance to understanding their long-term evolution and potential habitability. Observations of the chemical compositions of the solar system rocky bodies and of other planetary systems have increasingly shown a concordant picture that the chemical composition of rocky planets reflects that of their host stars for refractory elements, whereas this expression breaks down for volatiles. This behavior is explained by devolatilization during planetary formation and early evolution. Here, we apply a devolatilization model calibrated with solar system bodies to the chemical composition of our nearest Sun-like stars -- $α$ Centauri A and B -- to estimate the bulk composition of any habitable-zone rocky planet in this binary system ("$α$-Cen-Earth"). Through further modeling of likely planetary interiors and early atmospheres, we find that compared to Earth, such a planet is expected to have (i) a reduced (primitive) mantle that is similarly dominated by silicates albeit enriched in carbon-bearing species (graphite/diamond); (ii) a slightly larger iron core, with a core mass fraction of $38.4_{-5.1}^{+4.7}$ wt% (cf. Earth's 32.5 $\pm$ 0.3 wt%); (iii) an equivalent water-storage capacity; and (iv) a CO$_2$-CH$_4$-H$_2$O-dominated early atmosphere that resembles that of Archean Earth. Further taking into account its $\sim$ 25% lower intrinsic radiogenic heating from long-lived radionuclides, an ancient $α$-Cen-Earth ($\sim$ 1.5-2.5 Gyr older than Earth) is expected to have less efficient mantle convection and planetary resurfacing, with a potentially prolonged history of stagnant-lid regimes.

title: Experiment and Simulation on the Dynamics of a Slug of Liquid Oxygen Displaced by a Pulsed Magnetic Field
Creators: name: Boulware, Jeffrey C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: A magnetic fluid system could potentially replace mechanically moving parts in a satellite as a means of increasing system reliability and mission lifetime, but rather than a standard ferrofluid with magnetic particles, liquid oxygen (LOX) may be a more adequate working fluid. As a pure paramagnetic cryogen, LOX is already heavily used in space, but still requires basic research before being integrated into system development. The objectives of the research conducted were to verify LOX as a magnetic working fluid through experiment and establish a theoretical model to describe its behavior. This dissertation presents the theoretical, experimental, and numerical results of a slug of LOX being pulsed by a 1.1 T solenoid in a quartz tube with an inner diameter of 1.9 mm. The slug oscillated about the solenoid at 6-8 Hz, producing a pressure change of up to 1.2 kPa. System efficiency based on the Mason number was also studied for various geometric setups, and, using a one-dimensional, finite-differenced model in Matlab 2008a, the numerical analyses confirmed the theoretical model. The research provides groundwork for future applied studies with complex designs.
title: Latinos in the Credit Economy

description: Access to consumer credit as a means of building wealth is one of the least examined forms of social inequality. The recent economic crisis in the United States has brought attention to the significance of consumer credit in our nation's economy; however, less understood are the specific obstacles and barriers that prevent low-income individuals from reaching the "American Dream." In an exploratory manner, this study compared credit access, credit literacy, and credit experience of low-income Latinos and non-Latinos to understand how credit might translate into asset-building and home ownership for Latinos, particular for those in new immigrant destinations where access to ethnic resources is limited. Using survey data on banking practices, credit accounts, and asset ownership gathered from English- and Spanish-speaking residents in northern Utah between 2007 and 2009, this research found that low-income Latino residents are not in the same position to establish credit compared to their low-income non-Latino neighbors. As expected, Latinos in my study have less actively sought credit cards, auto loans, and other forms of debt than non-Latinos. As a consequence their credit literacy and experience is limited. Half of the Latinos in this study are not financially embedded and operate mainly outside the credit economy. Surprisingly, this study revealed that having a bank account does not necessarily change one's financial behavior; in contrast to their native-born neighbors, even Latinos with bank accounts habitually paid bills with cash and/or money orders. Lacking access to and an understanding of credit remains a critical problem for most Latino immigrants, and unless changed such practices are likely to affect their wealth-building potential for years to come. Ironically, choices to remain outside of the credit economy may have spared many immigrants from the kind of financial losses suffered by "financially embedded" individuals during the recent recession. Credit can enable families to purchase assets such as a home that enable them to accumulate wealth. On the other hand, problems with credit can lead to overspending, reliance on credit, bankruptcy, and foreclosure. More research is needed to understand the dynamics of credit and inequality for both Latinos and non-Latinos alike.

title: Architecture, Inertial Navigation, and Payload Designs for Low-Cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Personal Remote Sensing
Creators: name: Coopmans, Calvin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: This thesis presents work done towards a Personal Remote Sensing (PRS) system: small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with electronic, control, and sensing subsystems. Based on papers presented to conferences (AutoTestCon2008 and MESA2009), as well as other work on PRS, multiple levels of engineering are detailed: complex multi-UAV data flow; attitude estimation filters; real-time microprocessor functionality; and small, mobile power systems. Wherever possible, Open-Source tools and designs have been used, modified, or studied, providing excellent cost to performance ratios in most cases. First, the overall PRS UAV architecture, AggieAir, is presented with a motivating examples (GhostEye and EagleEye camera payloads). Then, AggieNav, an inertial navigation system for small UAVs, is detailed, along with information about a Kalman filter for estimation of UAV navigation, position, and attitude. Finally the Spatial Environment Autonomous Logger (SEAL), a general-purpose wireless datalogger for small UAV applications, is presented, with application examples with and without small UAVs. This work represents designs based on two years of organic small UAV system growth, and provides integrated solutions to many problems of small UAV communication, sensing, and control.
Parenting profiles and teen diets : exploring how cognitive factors mediate food choices in grade 7 adolescents
Creators: name: Marshall-Beaucoup, Sophie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Problem: Adolescence is a period during which dietary quality often decreases and rates of unhealthy dietary behaviours increase. Food parenting practices (FPP) and adolescents’ cognitive factors influence the development of these behaviours, but few studies have investigated these influences together despite evidence suggesting mediation by cognitive factors. Objective: To examine whether the relationship between FPP and adolescents’ unhealthy dietary behaviours (i.e., weight-loss dieting, fad dieting, meal-skipping and low dietary quality) is mediated by cognitive factors (motivation, food preferences, self-esteem, and weight concerns) in a sample of Grade 7 adolescents. Methods: Data from 670 grade 7 adolescents and their parents were collected for the HABITs study (P.I. Dr. LC Mâsse) in Vancouver, British Columbia between 2019 and 2021. Adolescents completed questionnaires about their dietary behaviours and cognition, and three 24-hour dietary recalls, and parents completed questionnaires about their FPP. Latent class analysis was used to extract patterns of FPP use. Linear and logistic regressions were used to assess the association between FPP and dietary behaviours, and path analyses to assess mediation by cognitive factors. Results: Four FPP typologies were extracted: 1) high-engagement (16.7%), 2) controlling (8.3%), 3) structure and autonomy promoting (36.8%), and 4) low-engagement (38.2%). Children whose parents used controlling FPP were more likely to report weight-loss dieting compared to children whose parents used structured and autonomy promoting practices (β=0.73). Parents with low engagement in FPP had children with lower diet quality, on average, compared to other groups (β=-0.19). Coercive feeding and emotional feeding were associated with more weight-loss dieting (β=0.35), and more meal-skipping (β=0.15) and lower diet quality (β=-0.15). Rules and limits were associated with less fad dieting (β=-0.37) and meal-skipping (β=-0.20), and availability and negotiation with higher diet quality (β=0.16 and β=0.15, respectively). Food preferences mediated the association between low-engagement parenting and diet quality. Conclusions: Parents’ combined use of FPP seem to correlate with adolescents’ unhealthy dietary behaviours. Parents should remain a target for interventions, and interventionists should consider patterns of FPP use and engagement in FPP beyond individual FPP. Future research is needed to explore these associations longitudinally and to further explore mediation by cognitive factors.

description: The effect of strong quantizing magnetic field on the equation of state of matter at the outer crust region of magnetars is studied. The density of such matter is low enough compared to the matter density at the inner crust or outer core region. Based on the relativistic version of semi-classical Thomas-Fermi-Dirac model in presence of strong quantizing magnetic field a formalism is developed to investigate this specific problem. The equation of state of such low density crustal matter is obtained by replacing the compressed atoms/ions by Wigner-Seitz cells with nonuniform electron density. The results are compared with other possible scenarios. The appearance of Thomas-Fermi induced electric charge within each Wigner-Seitz cell is also discussed.

The intent of these manipulations (treatments) is to reduce sagebrush canopy cover and increase the density of grass and forb species, thus providing higher quality sage-grouse brood-rearing habitat. However, monitoring of sage-grouse response to such manipulations has often been lacking or non-existent. The objective of our study was to determine the response of sage-grouse to sagebrush reduction treatments that have occurred recently in Rich County, Utah. Our study areas were treated with a pasture aerator with the intent of creating sage-grouse brood-rearing habitat. We used pellet transects, occupancy sampling, and GPS radio telemetry to quantify sage-grouse habitat use in treated and untreated areas. Pellet transect, occupancy, and GPS radio telemetry methods all showed a strong pattern of sage-grouse use of treated sites during the breeding and early brood-rearing periods. Sage-grouse use of treated sites was greatest in lower elevation habitat (1950 to 2110 m), and use was highest during the breeding and early brood-rearing periods. We found very little use of higher elevation (2120 to 2250 m) treated or untreated sites. Our results suggest that sagebrush reduction treatments can have positive impacts on sage-grouse use at lower elevations and can be successful in creating brood-rearing habitat. Elevation differences and period of sage-grouse use were significant factors in our study in determining how beneficial sagebrush reduction treatments were for sage-grouse.

title: Ecology of Isolated Greater Sage-Grouse Populations Inhabiting the Wildcat Knolls and Horn Mountain, Southcentral Utah

description: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) currently inhabit about 56% of pre-settlement distribution of potential habitat. In 2005, the Castle Country Adaptive Resources Management Local Working Group (CaCoARM) was formed to address concerns regarding local sage-grouse populations in Carbon and Emery counties. In 2006-2007, CaCoARM identified the Wildcat Knolls and Horn Mountain as areas of special concern for greater sage-grouse conservation. Both sites selected by the group were inhabited by what appeared to be small isolated sage-grouse populations. Factors limiting small isolated greater sage-grouse populations throughout its range are diverse and largely site-specific. During 2008-2009, I captured, radio-collared, and monitored 43 sage-grouse between the two populations to document their ecology and seasonal habitat use patterns. The sites are only 24 km apart, but the populations appear to be isolated from each other. Sage-grouse on Horn Mountain and Wildcat Knolls are one-stage migratory and non-migratory, respectively. Although nesting and brooding success varied between sites, my results were comparable to those published in studies throughout the species' range. Overall male survival was lower on the Wildcat Knolls than Horn Mountain (P = 0.003). Hens that selected brood sites exhibiting increased shrub cover and grass height were more successful than hens that selected sites with lower shrub cover and lower grass height. Potential nesting habitat on the Wildcat Knolls and Horn Mountain were estimated at 2,329 and 5,493 ha, respectively. Hens that selected nest sites farther from non-habitat edge were more successful than hens that selected nest sites that were closer to non-habitat edge on the Wildcat Knolls. Higher nest success observed on the Wildcat Knolls was attributed to less habitat fragmentation. Isolated populations of greater sage-grouse are more susceptible to lower amounts of genetic diversity that may lead to inbreeding depression and increased rates of disease and parasites. I collected mitochondrial DNA samples from both the Wildcat Knolls and Horn Mountain populations. Although the haplotype frequencies recorded in the Wildcat Knolls and Horn Mountain populations were low, one was shared with several Utah populations. The documented low genetic diversity (especially on Horn Mountain) confirmed the isolation suspected by the local working group. Microsatellite tests may provide insights to enhance understanding of genetic differences among sites, and assist managers in determining whether or not translocations are necessary to maintain population genetic diversity. Biologists should not only continue to take samples for genetic comparison, but also record morphometric and behavior data.
