Motor programming

description: The purpose of this study was to examine cognitive reserve, level of cognitive functioning, and motor programming as early markers for detecting declines in everyday functioning. Fifty nondemented, community-dwelling older adults completed a battery of traditional and experimental assessment measures at two time points. The results showed that both overall cognitive functioning and motor programming were useful for  identifying individuals at risk for future changes in everyday functioning. The motor programming task did better than overall cognitive functioning in predicting current performances and was the most useful variable for predicting a change in functioning over time.

description: Lacustrine basin systems have historically been valued for their abundant conventional oil and gas reserves, but they also contain a vast potential for unconventional petroleum development. To better understand the evolution of Utah's Eocene Lake Uinta and to help facilitate prudent and economic development of its oil shale resource, a predictive genetic model of the basin's lacustrine strata has been refined here. This model provides a better understanding of facies distribution, stratigraphic architecture, and a precise history of depositional evolution of Lake Uinta in eastern Utah. This study evaluates the upper Douglas Creek and Parachute Creek Members of the Green River Formation, exposed along the Evacuation Creek outcrop on the eastern flank of the Uinta Basin. In addition to the outcrop, the Asphalt Wash-1 core, located about 13.7 km (8.5 mi) to the northwest of Evacuation Creek, was described. Ten different facies are defined and grouped into four facies associations: siliciclastics, carbonates, saline deposits, and volcanic-derived deposits. These datasets provide an exceptional opportunity to highlight lateral changes in facies architecture on the east side of the basin. The sections record meter-scale shallowing upward successions, with an overall shallow to deep to shallower transformation of the lake system. Periods of high sediment supply are recorded by laterally extensive sandstone associations, whereas low siliciclastic sediment supply conditions are recorded by carbonate-dominated organic-rich zones and organic-poor microbialite intervals. This research further defines a genetic framework that recognizes small-scale phases in lake evolution which are defined by the relationship between absolute lake level, accommodation, siliciclastic input, and salinity. The combination of short-term climatic changes and longer-term tectonics shaped the evolution of Lake Uinta from an overfilled basin with fluctuations in sediment supply and accommodation that vary in both frequency and length (lake phases 1a and 1b), to a balance-filled basin with little to no sediment input with a high lake level (lake phases 2a, 2b, and 3 a), to an underfilled basin with abundant saline minerals (lake phase 3b). This research provides a key dataset towards developing a regional genetic framework for lake evolution in the eastern Uinta Basin.

description: According to generational theorists, the interests and experiences of incoming students have fluctuated over time, with Millennial students being more engaged and accomplished than their predecessors. This project explored data from 1974-2007 to determine the actual trends in engagement and accomplishments for three generations of students. Over three million Student Profile Section data sets were randomly selected from complete ACT College Entrance Exam records. Given the existence of significant random variability among states, all trend analyses were conducted using hierarchical linear modeling. The primary finding of this study is that current students are engaging in fewer high school activities and attaining fewer accomplishments during high school than students of the previous generation. Specifically for activities, men and students from larger class sizes were less engaged, and students with higher socioeconomic statuses, higher grade point averages, and higher ACT scores were more engaged. Overall, the results of this dissertation suggest that student affairs professionals should use theorizing about Millennial students only as general guidelines, and consider the importance of measured trends and student background characteristics.  In order to improve the practical utility of these results, a convenience sample of records was drawn from selected 4-year institutions, which collected data regarding college readiness, student engagement, and college outcomes, and was paired with ACT College Entrance Exams records. A wide range of relationships between high school and 1st-year college activities were measured with only some types of engagement (e.g., religious, sports/fitness, community service) having continuity into the college years. In addition, this study built on the current knowledge about college student outcomes by testing the ability of high school activities and accomplishments to incrementally add to the prediction of 1st-year GPA and 1st-to-2nd-year retention in conjunction with other known cognitive, noncognitive, and college engagement predictors. Using hierarchical linear and logistical regression, number of high school activities was able to capture additional variance in 1st-year GPA, but did not hold predictive utility for 1st-to-2nd-year retention. Hence, student affairs professionals should consider the implications of decreasing high school engagement when both planning for college activities and predicting college student outcomes.

Poetry

description: This collection of poetry can best be described as a text;ual triptych with each "panel" bearing a tonal quality that marks it from the others. Because so many of these poems throughout the collection share phrasal qualities and a common lexicon, the division between sections warrants merely a blank page-a visual rest or moment of silence.  The first one-third (or panel) of the collection is front-loaded with Partial History, which introduces the reader to rapid shifts of form, voice, and perspective. It also gives the reader a sense of the thematic concerns of the collection: the disenfranchised, the language of the social (work) world versus and including the language of art. The following poems move into the particular world of visual art as it rests against the natural world-in this case, a natural world that is often extreme.  The center panel of his text;ual triptych is more concerned with the ways in which intimate connections are made (or missed) and the position of the woman (as actor/speaker rather than-or perhaps in addition to-subject) becomes a central concern. These poems, as a unit, feel most like they are willing to look directly at the reader and engage language as one form of intimate connection.  Finally, panel three becomes the "dark night of the soul" of this collection. This segment is aware of the heavy-handedness of its despair and the self-consciousness of the post-modern sufferer, but the crux of the section lies in psychic suffering. The poem, Wind Up World, revisits the language of social work/psychiatry/psychology and the disconnect between that lens and the eye of visual art.

description: Anthropologists provide a valuable service to the medico-legal community. They are tasked with creating a biological profile and helping with the ultimate identification of unknown remains. This can often be a difficult task when the anthropologists require something to which they can compare the biological profile and create a small group of potential matches. This endeavor can be greatly enhanced by access to medical patient databases and identification techniques which are able to utilize specific disease databases in conjunction with the biological profile. The research presented here explores the genetic connection between the eye disease Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and the bone disease Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL) as a new avenue of identification. The research conducted looked at the specific genetic marker that connects the two diseases, the interaction of this genetic risk factor with other risk genes in AMD, and the prevalence and presentation of OPLL in non-Asian populations. The results of the project provided a great deal of insight into a possible therapeutic target for AMD and suggests that the previously reported statistics on OPLL both in, and out, of Asia are grossly  underestimated, thus the disease should be reexamined in all populations throughout the world. In addition, the results and parameters of this research advocate future research into an identification method based on the genetic connection between these two diseases.

description: Indomethacin (IND) is one of the supporting drug candidates for colonic targeting but it belongs to BCS class II category presenting a challenge in optimal targeting at the colonic site. To overcome this challenge, we sought to prepare a pH-dependent soluble ternary solid dispersion (SD) of IND of improved solubility and dissolution rate at the colon without the need for a coating. The current study focuses on the preparation of binary SDs of API (IND) with shellac (SSB 55) and Eudragit FS 100 (EFS) and ternary mixtures of IND, SSB 55 together with a new grade of HPMC (A15). Respective SDs were prepared via HME to achieve gastric protection and improved dissolution performance including maintenance of supersaturation. The SDs were characterized and tested for in-vitro dissolution performance using a pH shift dissolution method from 1.1, 5.5, 6.8, and 7.4. A ternary extrudate of IND, SSB 55, and A15 showed improved protection below pH 5.5 with a complete release of 99.5% at pH 7.4 compared to IND neat and binary extrudates from IND-A15, IND-SSB 55, and IND-EFS. It was attributed to an increased level of intermolecular interaction confirmed by ATR-IR and was studied for stability. It was found that in a ternary mixture containing IND, A15 and SSB 55 an increased hydrogen bonding interaction is present, which resulted in improved dissolution performance compared to binary mixtures. Therefore, ternary SDs proved to be a promising concept for future development of colon targeting of poorly soluble drugs.

description: Fingernail imaging is a method of sensing finger force using the color patterns on the nail and surrounding skin. These patterns form as the underlying tissue is compressed and blood pools in the surrounding vessels. Photos of the finger and surrounding skin may be correlated to the magnitude and direction of force on the fingerpad. An automated calibration routine is developed to improve the data-collection process. This includes a novel hybrid force/position controller that manages the interaction between the fingerpad and a flat surface, implemented on a Magnetic Levitation Haptic Device. The kinematic and dynamics parameters of the system are characterized in order to appropriately design a nonlinear compensator. The controller settles within 0.13 s with less than 30% overshoot. A new registration A new registration technique, based on Active Appearance Models, is presented. Since this method accounts for the variation inherent in the finger, it reduces registration and force prediction errors while removing the need to tune registration parameters or reject unregistered images. Modifications to the standard model are also investigated. The number of landmark points is reduced to 25 points with no loss of accuracy, while the use of the green channel is found to have no significant effect on either registration or force prediction accuracy. Several force prediction models are characterized, and the EigenNail Magnitude Model, a Principal Component Regression model on the gray-level intensity, is shown to fit the data most accurately. The mean force prediction error using this prediction and modeling method is 0.55 N. White LEDs and green LEDs are shown to have no statistically significant effect on registration or force prediction. Finally, two different calibration grid designs are compared and found to have no significant effect. Together, these improvements prepare the way for fingernail imaging to be used in less controlled situations. With a wider range of calibration data and a more robust registration method, a larger range of force data may be predicted. Potential applications for this technology include human-computer interaction and measuring finger interaction forces during grasping experiments.

description: The process of cell fate specification within the developing vertebrate nervous system is highly complex and involves both positive and negative regulatory molecules. Positively acting factors including the proneural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins function to activate neuronal differentiation while negative factors including Notch, the enhancer of split genes, and the related molecule hairy block neuronal differentiation. We examined the interactions between positively acting bHLH factors encoded by Neurogenin (X-NgnR-1), Xenopus atonal homologue 3 and 5 (Xath3 and Xath5), and NeuroD and the negative regulators encoded by Xhairy1, Notch, enhancer of spit related 1 (ESR1), and the kinase GSK3beta; during development of the neural plate and retina of Xenopus laevis. Previous studies have indicated that overexpression of the bHLH genes encoded by X-NgnR-1, Xath3 and Xath5, and XNeuroD can promote differentiation during neural plate and retinal stages however the mechanisms that regulate these factors during these events are not well characterized. In contrast, Notch and hairy related genes in other species have been demonstrated to inhibit neuronal differentiation in both the developing CNS and retina. These results led us to hypothesize that the molecules encoded by negative and positive factors interact to regulate neuronal differentiation. To test this, we overexpressed Xhairy1, Notch, and ESR1 in Xenopus embryos and analyzed the ability of these molecules to regulate proneural bHLH activity. Our results indicate that Xhairy1 functions as a negative regulator of primary neurogenesis by inhibiting the activity and expression of X-NgnR-1, XNeuroD, and Xath3 in a Notch-independent manner and that Xhairy1 function can be attenuated by the kinase GSK3b. We also demonstrate that during neural plate and retinal stages, overexpression of Notch and ESR1 can block the ability of Xath5 to promote neuronal differentiation in the neural plate and developing retina and that the related factor XNeuroD is not regulated by Notch, but like Xhairy1, is instead regulated by the kinase GSK3beta;. Together, these studies indicate that differentiation in both the CNS and retina is produced by a balance between interacting positive and negative factors.

description: The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of arsenic (As) on physiological and biochemical attributes of quinoa, and human health risks associated with the consumption of As contaminated grains of quinoa. Quinoa genotype, Puno was grown on soil contaminated with various levels of arsenite; 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 mg As kg−1 soil. Results revealed that plant growth, photosynthetic pigments, stomatal conductance, and grain yield of As treated plants were significantly less as compared to control plants. Plants exposed to elevated levels of 30 and 40 mg As kg−1 of soil could not survive until maturity. Plant roots retained higher concentration of As than shoot indicating As phytostabilizing behavior of quinoa. Arsenic toxicity caused oxidative stress in quinoa plants, which elevated the H2O2 and TBARS contents and decreased membrane stability. This oxidative stress was partly mitigated by the induction of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, POD, APX). Perhaps, our results regarding As availability might be an overestimate of the typical natural conditions, As accumulation in quinoa grains posed both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks to humans. It was concluded that quinoa is sensitive to As and the consumption of quinoa grains from plants grown on As concentration ≥20 mg kg−1 of soil was not safe for humans. Novelty statement: The tolerance potential of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) against the trivalent form of arsenic (arsenite), and the health risks due to the consumption of arsenic-contaminated grains has not been explored yet. This is the first study in which we have explored the effects of arsenite on physiological, biochemical and phytoremedial attributes of quinoa. Moreover, human health risks associated with the consumption of As contaminated grains of quinoa has have been investigated. The findings of the present study would be helpful for farmers who intend to grow quinoa on arsenic-contaminated soils.

description: The sculptural series Seer Bonnets (2009-present) by artist Angela Ellsworth addresses issues of gender, polygamy, and the historical recovery of Mormon pioneer artifacts and culture. Seer Bonnet X, XI, and XII in the collection of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts are positioned in this thesis as a case study to examine the visual, material, and referential qualities of the works. The three sunbonnets reference the 10th, 11th, and 12th wives of Joseph Smith: Patty Bartlett Sessions, Marinda Johnson Hyde, and Elizabeth Davis Durfee. Aesthetically and in their titles, the works imitate the design of historic nineteenth-century Mormon women's pioneer sunbonnets-which the sculptures mimic-while also referencing the material artifact the seer stone used exclusively by men in the Mormon faith. However, simultaneously, the bonnets operate distinctively as art objects mounted and displayed inside the museum for the purpose of viewing and admiring. Ellsworth's bonnet series blurs the lines between functionality and decoration, private and public, clothing and art, absence and presence, man and woman, and beauty and danger. The contrasts raise questions about what the bonnets represent as items pieced together from multiple sources and meanings. In this thesis, I consider the many allusions present in Ellsworth's work. A thorough examination of the recovered past coupled with and analysis of the production of the works inside the artists studio leads to the ultimate consideration of the works as objects that speak to the value and place of women. I argue that this work not only iv recovers an ambivalent past, but engages in a contemporary revision of the story that foreground women, even at the expense of further complicating history. Ellsworth obscures several divisions, especially gender, providing the women of her project access to historically male objects and positions. Rather than solely acting as objects of recovery, Ellsworth's sunbonnets use articles of the past as references for sculptures that refashion the representation of Mormon pioneer women in present-day conversations.

description: Lipids and lipid metabolism have a number of regulatory effects on immune and inflammatory responses. The nuclear hormone receptor PPAR?, a transcription factor that can be activated by various lipid species, is important in regulating various aspects of inflammation. This dissertation demonstrates that PPAR? also plays an active role in regulating host adaptive immune responses. PPAR? is expressed by a number of cells in the immune system, including T and B lymphocytes. The PPAR? that is expressed in lymphocytes is transactivation and transrepression competent, both processes being important for its regulation of lymphocyte function. Expression of PPAR? in CD4+ T cells regulates the expression and production of IL-2 and IFN-gamma following activation of these cells. The regulation of cytokine production by PPAR? is mediated, in part, through its ability to regulate the expression of T-bet. PPAR? regulates T-bet through a novel IFN-? independent signaling mechanism that does not require DNA binding or ligand activation of the nuclear hormone receptor. PPAR? was subsequently found to suppress T-bet expression in activated CD4+ T cells through its ability to inhibit the activation of p38 MAP kinase. Additional studies in this dissertation demonstrate that the temporal regulation of activated CD4+ T cells by PPAR? is important for the development of normal humoral immune responses. PPAR?-/- mice immunized with foreign protein antigens produced markedly lower levels of antigen-specific antibodies when compared to identically immunized PPAR?;+/+ mice.

description: Natural environments have been shown to have many psychological benefits for the human psyche. Among these benefits are mental stress reduction, positive emotional impacts, and attention restoration. Cognitive Flexibility is the ability to alternate perspectives due to changing situational demands. This ability is helpful in stopping habitual thought processes and behaviors. The purpose of this study was to explore restorative environments‘ impact on one‘s ability to be cognitively flexible. Sixty-three undergraduates at the University of Utah completed a pre- and postassessment of the Attention Network Test and viewed a 13-minute film of either urban or natural type environments between assessment points. Factorial ANOVA was utilized to explore between-group differences. Results show individuals in the urban condition had significantly faster response times when assessing congruent trials (where flexibility is not needed) than those in the natural condition. Though there was no evidence that natural environments quickened flexible responses, there is some indication that urban environments may perpetuate habitual ones.

description: Objective: To define the reporting of Scoring Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI) feature prevalence and severity, and to develop criteria to monitor feature change in longitudinal investigations. Methods: Twenty-five participants (50 hips) of the femoroacetabular impingement and hip osteoarthritis cohort study underwent baseline and 2-year follow-up 3 T hip MRIs. Eight hip OA features were assessed using the SHOMRI. All MRIs were read paired with knowledge of timepoint by two blinded musculoskeletal radiologists. We provide definitions to report SHOMRI feature prevalence, severity, and longitudinal change. Results: We report clear definitions for SHOMRI feature prevalence, severity, and change. When we applied the definitions to the studied cohort, we could detect the prevalence, severity, and change of hip OA features. For example, 88% of hips had labral tears (34% graded as severe tears) and 76% had cartilage defects (42% graded as full thickness). Over 70% of hips had feature change over 2 years, highlighting the sensitivity of SHOMRI definitions to assess longitudinal change of hip OA features. Intra-reader reliability was almost perfect (weighted (w)-kappa 0.86 to 1.00), with inter-reader reliability substantial to almost perfect (w-kappa 0.80 to 1.00). Conclusion: This study is the first to provide definitions to report SHOMRI feature prevalence, severity, and change. The proposed definitions will enable comparison between hip MRI studies and improve our understanding of hip OA pathogenesis.

description: The cyborg has been traditionally defined as a being that incorporates both biological and artificial parts. I am interested in expanding this definition, describing the cyborg as a person who is human+, a human being who has been added to, melding their reality with technological innovation for reasons that are aesthetic, functional and social. Integral to this new understanding is the concept of addenda, that which is added to the basic elements denoting ‘human.'  Cyborgs have been a source of cultural anxiety, presenting our greatest aspirations within the same physical body as our darkest fears. The materialization of the cyborg in performance art and popular culture has often been read as a potential doomsday for free will, consciousness, and humanity itself. This reading of the cyborg body favors duality, carving battle lines between the ‘natural' human and the ‘artificial' cyborg. I propose an alternate view of the cyborg as a living metaphor for choices of existence; a being that offers alternate discourses and experiences beyond the limit of our duality-laden world. The cyborg body can serve as a seductive invitation to experience the world in a new way opening digital eyes to freshly awakened wonder. As humans we are infinitely complex creatures, slipping between categories while simultaneously occupying multiple classifications. Reclaiming our complexity, uniqueness, and abilities is one way that cyborg discourses allow us to delve more deeply into our humanity. A vast array of beautiful and enticing opportunities arises when we consider that the cyborg has the potential to inhabit a broad realm of identities, a kaleidiscopic personality and body, which reflect his/her unique experience of being in the world.

description: Communities that are more resilient to seismic hazards are often able to retain their functions in a time of crisis and experience faster recovery. This study develops a holistic approach for assessing community seismic resilience in thirteen sub-city districts of Mashhad. Three resilience properties (robustness, resourcefulness, and redundancy) are matched with six community resilience dimensions to construct a Community Seismic Resilience Index (CSRI). The aim of CSRI is to quantify districts’ coping capacities to mitigate the adverse impacts of a hazard, and their adaptive capacities to recover in an efficient and timely manner. The geography of CSRI suggests that there is a division between the east and the west of the city that builds a pattern of spatially segregated resilience to seismic hazards. Based on the findings, urban policies should be directed toward enhancing the robustness of communities and building redundancy into institutional/managerial systems in order to build more resilient communities.

The cost of saliency: how salience interacts with relevance to support or impede information search

description: Technological innovations have increased the ability to collect and store information. However, these innovations potentially create a psychological problem because the increasing amounts of information must be managed within the still limited human cognitive  processing capacity. One common data visualization approach to improve information search is the concept of increased bottom-up stimulus-driven saliency to guide the user. But is increasing the salience of an item enough to produce a sufficient, efficient search with high  decision accuracy? How does increasing the salience of an item without regard to its relevance affect the search for information? Is there a difference between lists and tag clouds and what role does the system context; play? To answer these questions we adapted the concepts of the Wason selection task (WST) and considered the propositional logic values of P, Q, not P and not Q, to analyze search sufficiency, efficiency, decision accuracy and search patterns. We found that the incongruence or congruence of salience and relevance can impede or support the search for information. However, increasing the salience of relevant items is not enough to insure a sufficient or efficient search with an accurate decision. The search for information is affected by interactions between the display format, the system context; and the congruence conditions.

Solid phase immunoassays

description: Solid-phase immunoassays (SPIs) have become an indispensible tool for research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Understanding the antibody-antigen interaction occurring at a solid-liquid interface is needed in order to develop more sensitive and selective sensors with lower limits of detection. In turn, this will provide a better understanding of the immune system, and lead to the discovery of more effective immunotherapy treatments. In this work, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is employed to investigate individual ligand-receptor interactions at a glass-water interface. The extreme sensitivity of TIRF imaging requires the measurement surfaces to resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins in order to minimize backgrounds, while containing low density of optically resolvable capture sites. The nonspecific adsorption of antibodies to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) monolayers covalently bound to glass surfaces was characterized for two different PEG immobilization procedures. First, N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) active esters of 2000 g/mol PEG were reacted to the amine functionality of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) derivatized glass slides; secondly, in addition, 750 g/mol and 2000 g/mol PEG-amines were reacted to the epoxide functionality of (3-Glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GOPTS) modified glass slides. The protein resistant property of each PEG-modified surface was characterized by monitoring the adsorption of monoclonal mouse derived antibiotin using single-molecule fluorescence imaging. The protein resistant coating produced using epoxide-amine PEG chemistry was adapted to produce a glass modified surface containing a low density of biotin conjugation sites by reacting a mixture containing a lower concentration of biotin-labeled 2000 g/mol PEG-amine and a higher concentration of 750 g/mol PEG-amine to GOPTS modified glass slides. The density of biotin conjugation sites within the diluent PEG layer was characterized using fluorescently-labeled streptavidin, where the surface concentration of biotin increased linearly with biotin-PEG concentration in the reaction solution. Using the low density biotin capture surfaces, the activity of a surface immobilized rabbit-antigoat IgG receptor was investigated using TIRF imaging for four different antibody immobilization strategies: (i) passive adsorption to the mPEG surface, (ii) active bioaffinity immobilization directly to streptavidin capture sites, (iii) two-step sequential immobilization of streptavidin and protein A intermediate, and (iv) a one-step immobilization to a preassociated chimeric streptavidin-protein A complex.

description: Stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis of tooth enamel is one of the primary tools available for studying terrestrial mammals and ecosystems in the geologic past. Carbon isotope ratios record the proportion of C3 versus C4 vegetation in diet, and by extension, landscape vegetation. Oxygen isotope ratios are related to the isotope ratio of meteoric water and animal physiology and feeding ecology. The carbon isotope ratio in fossil enamel from 9.9 to 3 Ma was measured in ~450 teeth representing nine herbivore lineages to study dietary and vegetation change during this interval in East Africa. Results indicate that differential rates of diet change from C3-dominated to mixed C3-C4 and C4-dominated diets between different lineages began as early as 9.9 Ma. The carbon-14 (14C) concentration in metabolically inert tissues formed since ca. 1955 can be used to determine the date the tissue formed, or tissue growth rate if multiple samples are taken along the tissue growth axis. This method has applications to stable isotope (paleo)ecology and wildlife forensics. 14C-derived growth rates in enamel and tusk dentin elucidate the time represented in periodic growth increments and provide insight into enamel maturation. Changes in the isotope ratios of diet and body water, driven by seasonal variability in vegetation and climate (e.g., precipitation), cause variation in isotope ratios along the growth axis of elephant molars and tusks. Isotopic variation in tusk dentin and tail hair profiles of an extant African elephant are compared. Both profiles serve as a proxy for seasonal changes in vegetation and precipitation. Diagenesis leads to overprinting of the primary isotopic signal in fossil tusks, but not in fossil enamel. However, the process of enamel formation blurs the primary input signal. Combined forward and inverse modeling of intratooth isotope profiles in enamel can be used to reconstruct seasonal variability in diet, vegetation, and climate once appropriate model parameters are established. These parameters are determined for elephant and mammoth molars using 14C data, micro-CT, and histological methods. Application of the models to profiles from fossil proboscidean molar plates provides a means for studying seasonality in ancient ecosystems.

description: We have studied adsorption behaviour of cationic and uncharged surfactant molecules and their micelles at metal-water interfaces via all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Our simulations reveal that unaggregated surfactant molecules adsorb strongly on to the metal surface without any free energy barrier. The adsorption behaviour of micelles is quite different. Micelles of cationic surfactants experience a long-range free energy barrier to adsorption, which is attributed to the presence of a corona of counterions and hydration water around these micelles, which gets disturbed as the micelles approach the surface. Micelles of uncharged surfactants do not have a corona of counterions around them and therefore show a barrierless free energy profile of adsorption. The micelles of both cationic and uncharged surfactants strongly adsorb by disintegrating at the metal surface. In the disintegrated state, the molecules comprising the micelles re-arrange to attain either a lying down configuration in which the molecular axis is parallel to the surface or a standing up configuration in which the molecular axis is perpendicular to the surface.
