description: To what extent does political intervention into the market condition how individuals find the lives that they lead to be enjoyable, rewarding, and satisfying? I develop theoretical insights that help push the literature beyond its preeminent focus on the overall size, or depth, of state intervention into private markets by asking finer-grained questions about how different forms of market intervention influence the relationship between state intervention and subjective well-being. I focus on three causal conditionalities that represent important theoretical omissions from the literature. All hypotheses are tested using multilevel statistical analyses of times series cross sectional and panel survey data across select OECD countries over the past twenty years.

description: 2. Oxyina javana (Willemse, 1955)
This species is attributed to high altitudes in Java, Indonesia (3,678 m) and in Kashmir, India (1,850 m) (Willemse 1955, Baba & Usmani 2021). However, it has been recorded for the first time at low sea levels in Bahawalpur, Punjab (117 m), and in Achro That Sindh (28 m). Hollis (1975) observed a close resemblance in O. bidentata, O. sinobidentata, and O. javana, indicating divergent evolution through geographical isolation. The recent discovery in these locations confirms the presence of this species at low sea levels.

description: The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation is committed to advancing research and developing resources that explore the intraductal approach to the breast. As part of this effort, the Foundation hosted The 5th International Symposium on the Intraductal Approach to Breast Cancer in Santa Monica, California, March 1-4, 2007. In attendance were more than 120 oncologists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, surgeons, biochemists, pathologists, radiologists, endocrinologists, and breast cancer advocates who are currently conducting, or are interested in, research utilizing the intraductal approach.

 The four-day Symposium opened with a “Minisymposium on the Intracrinology of the Breast.” Over the next two days presentations addressed “Anatomy of the Breast,” “Ductoscopy and Imaging,” “Intraductal Therapy,” “NAF: The Optimal Approach to Screening?” and “Clinical Applications of NAF and Ductal Lavage.” On the fourth and final day of the Symposium, conference participants discussed “Are We Ready to Launch a Large NAF Screening Trial?”

 Each topic area began with one or two longer presentations from experts in the field. This was followed by new research, some of which had been funded by the Foundation, and pilot grant proposals. The schedule was structured to encourage attendees to discuss their ideas and share important research insights, with the aim of building the field and moving it forward. Attendees also were able to observe demonstrations of ductoscopy and ductal lavage with ultrasound. A Public Panel provided the community with an opportunity to learn more about ongoing intraductal research and the promise it holds for eradicating breast cancer.

 At the close of the Symposium, the Foundation awarded $100,000 in pilot grants to 12 research studies.

Sequence stratigraphy of Miocene sequences Kw2a and m5.4, New Jersey

Year: 2014

description: I evaluated the upper lower Miocene Kw2a sequence in onshore New Jersey coastal plain coreholes and nearshore wells and its relationship to composite sequence m5.4 on the New Jersey continental shelf. I used Ocean Drilling Program Leg 1&4AX Cape May Zoo (CMZ) and Ocean View (OV) corehole and well log data to construct the anatomy of composite Kw2a sequence by integrating lithologic changes, grain size data, gamma ray logs, and benthic foraminiferal biofacies and paleodepths in a sequence stratigraphic framework. I identified 3 higher order sequences (Kw2a1, Kw2a2, and Kw2a3) and stratal boundaries (transgressive surfaces [TS] and maximum flooding surfaces [MFS]) within the composite Kw2a sequence. A thin, deepening upward LST is tentatively identified only at the base of the Kw2a1 higher order sequence at both sites. Mud dominant, deepening and fining upward TST’s are found in all 3 higher order sequences. MFS are associated with mud and Uvigerina spp. peaks and are overlain by, sandy coarsening and shallowing upward HST’s. To test the physical correlation between onshore-nearshore and middle shelf systems, I identified Kw2a and higher order sequences in other ODP Leg 150A, 1&4AX, and U.S.G.S onshore and nearshore wells using gamma ray logs. I correlated gamma ray logs of the composite Kw2a sequence to onshore [Atlantic City (AC)] and nearshore wells (ACOW-1, 2, AMCOR-6011) and traced the Kw2a sequence on seismic profiles crossing these sites. I projected other onshore cores and logs to nearby seismic profiles. I traced the composite Kw2a sequence on seismic profiles directly to IODP Expedition 313 coreholes where I demonstrate that the composite Kw2a sequence is physically equivalent to composite m5.4 sequence.

This species has been reported from various regions of Pakistan, except for Gilgit-Baltistan. Cigliano et al. (2024) listed East India, Iran, including some parts of Balochistan (Pakistan), and Azerbaijan for its asserted distribution. Usmani & Shafee (1985) also reported its incidence in India; notably, it had not been previously reported from Pakistan. This might be due to the close resemblance of this species to O. japonica or its sibling species, potentially causing confusion.

Fungal volatile organic compounds and their effects on seed germination and plant growth in arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Hung, Richard
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The biological effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been studied in depth in many organisms.  Known volatile interactions include insect–insect or insect–plant interactions, effects of industrial volatiles on humans, plant–plant interactions, plant–bacterial interactions as well as others.  Both plant and fungal volatiles have been heavily researched, however, very little research has been conducted to determine the effects of fungal VOCs on plant growth and health.  In order to test these effects in a controlled and reproducible manner, I designed a novel exposure system to assess plant sensitivity to fungal VOCs.  This system is designed to expose plants to any microbial or anthropogenic volatile source.  In addition, it is scalable to conduct larger experiments and/or expose larger plants to VOCs.  With this exposure system, I have determined that Trichoderma viride VOCs induce increased growth in the plant model system Arabidopsis thaliana (45% greater freshweight and 58% greater chlorophyll concentration after four weeks).  To determine the volatile or group of volatiles responsible for inducing growth promotion, gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy were conducted, identifying 56 unique compounds.     After a literature review of volatiles commonly produced by fungi, 23 compounds were selected to test.  A. thaliana plants were exposed to these compounds individually at 1ppm for 3 days.  Various effects on the plants were observed ranging from complete inhibition of seedling formation by 1-octen-3-one to increased fresh weight (4.2%) and chlorophyll concentration (3.&%) in plants exposed to (-)limonene.  No single compound tested induced the growth promotion observed in the T. viride exposure experiment indicating that a different compound or a mixture of compounds is possibly responsible for T. viride VOC induced growth promotion.   These results show that naturally occurring fungal VOCs have the ability to induce positive or negative changes in plant growth and health.  As pressure on agricultural production for fiber, food, and fuel increases for the ever growing human population, volatile gasses will be an important factor to consider as phytostimulants and phytotoxins.  The application of stimulatory volatiles for growth enhancement could be used to increase crop yield.

description: The Thirdhand Smoke Policy Workshop at USC is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles, CA on May 11, 2017 with support by the California Thirdhand Smoke (THS) Consortium funded by the California Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program. In this consortium, the USC Department of Preventive Medicine has the role of developing policy approaches to managing risks of THS, integrating work carried out by the investigators in the consortium. Their work addresses the characteristics of THS, indicators of exposure, and mechanisms of toxicity. The workshop is intended to support a broad discussion among a multi-sectoral group of stakeholders on two critical topics: 1) how to describe potential risks of THS to the public; and 2) how to translate scientific research on THS into policies and guidelines that will reduce exposures and protect the public from exposure to toxins and carcinogens in THS. The day-long workshop will bring together business representatives, customers and members of the public, academics and civil society advocates, and government officials to review the current state of knowledge on exposure and health effects of THS. In preparation for the workshop, seveal white papers are being prepared exploring codes of practice and regulatory options available to address THS by diverse stakeholders. During the workshop, participants will review the papers and provide feedback to help further the formulation of codes of practice and consider next steps to advance policy protecting the public from exposure to THS.

Phosphorus ligand development for transition metal catalyzed reactions
Creators: name: Huang, Kexuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This thesis summarizes the author’s graduate research on phosphorus ligands synthesis and catalytic asymmetric. The first chapter describes the design and synthesis of novel P-chiral ligands and their applications in asymmetric hydrogenation. Those ligands exhibite extremely high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and reactivities (up to 50 000 TON) for rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of a wide range of functionalized olefin derivatives. Chapter 2 delineates asymmetric hydrogenation of oxime esters and ketoenamides, which affords new approaches for the synthesis of optically pure chiral amines. In Chapter 3, the development of two tetraphosphorous ligands (TPPB and Tetrabi) is discussed. Those ligands are based on a biphenyl backbone and can be successfully applied in the highly regioselective hydroformylation of terminal olefins and internal olefins.
The phosphorylation of serine 492 of perilipin A facilitates ATGL-mediated lipolysis by CGI-58 independent mechanisms
Creators: name: Hernandez, Mayda
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Perilipin A is a lipid droplet-associated protein that controls triacylglycerol storage and hydrolysis in adipocytes. Lipolysis of triacylglycerols by adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is enabled by the phosphorylation of perilipin A by protein kinase A (PKA) on six serine residues. The main goal of this study was to understand how phosphorylation of serine 492 of perilipin A promotes lipolysis by ATGL, with or without the co-activator CGI-58. We used NIH 3T3 CAR∆ fibroblasts ectopically expressing mutated variants of perilipin and ATGL with or without CGI-58.  The perilipin variants included wild-type perilipin A, perilipin with serine 492 mutated to alanine (perilipin S492A), perilipin in which only serine 492 can be phosphorylated (perilipin Not5), and perilipin in which none of the serine residues within PKA sites can be phosphorylated (perilipin All6).  Cells expressing these perilipins and ATGL, with or without CGI-58, were lipid loaded with radioactive oleate to label triacylglycerol; lipolysis was assessed by measuring the appearance of radiolabeled oleate in the culture medium under basal conditions and when lipolysis was stimulated by the addition of forskolin and isobutylmethylxanthine.       Rates of basal lipolysis were similar in cells expressing all perilipin variants and significantly lower than rates of stimulated lipolysis.  Stimulated ATGL-mediated lipolysis was comparable in cells expressing perilipin Not5 and cells expressing wild-type perilipin A, whereas cells expressing perilipin S492A showed decreased rates of lipolysis. Comparable maximal rates of stimulated lipolysis were observed in cells expressing either perilipin Not5 or wild-type perilipin A when both ATGL and CGI-58 were expressed, whereas cells expressing perilipin S492A showed a trend towards reduced lipolysis. We conclude that the phosphorylation of serine 492 of perilipin A is required for maximal lipolysis catalyzed by ATGL. In the absence of serine 492, the phosphorylation of serine residues within PKA sites 1-4 and 6 can also facilitate ATGL-mediated lipolysis, although not to maximal levels. Since similar results were obtained with and without CGI-58, we propose that phosphorylation of serine 492 facilitates lipolysis by a general mechanism that is not dependent on the availability of CGI-58 to activate ATGL.
Defining the nanoRNA regulon and the mechanism by which gene expression is controlled and manifested
Creators: name: Hammond, Gifty Naa Ayeley
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Gene transcription is mediated by the enzyme RNA polymerase (RNAP).  RNAP is a multi subunit nucleotidyl transferase that polymerizes ribonucleotides at the 3’ end of an RNA transcript. Transcription by RNAP typically occurs by de novo transcription initiation whereby nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) initiate transcription. Small RNAs of approximately 2-5 nucleotides have long been known to successfully prime transcription in vitro.  In published work, the Nickels lab has established that these small RNAs (nanoRNAs) successfully compete with NTPs for transcription priming of some genes in vivo.  NanoRNA-mediated priming alters the position of transcription initiation and possibly has a vital role in the regulation of gene expression.  The complete set of genes whose expression is affected by nanoRNA-mediated priming remains to be elucidated.  I propose to define the nanoRNA regulon and the mode by which gene expression is controlled and manifested. I will use a variety of molecular and biochemical in vivo and in vitro methods to determine the nanoRNA-mediated priming impact on gene expression.

Biophysical models of evolution
Creators: name: Haldane, Allan M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The recent emergence of quantitative high-throughput experimental technology and  new biophysical knowledge may finally enable significant empirical and quantitative  understanding of adaptive evolution, which has been elusive for almost a century. The  modern aim is to unite classical population genetics with biophysical molecular models,  and to connect physical properties of biological molecules such as DNA, RNA and  proteins with evolutionary parameters. In this vein, I have studied such population  models theoretically, and applied one such model to yeast evolution.  In Chapters 2 and 3, I will discuss “universality” in population genetics, in particular  the universal applicability of a formula for the steady state distribution of phenotypes in  a population evolving in the “monomorphic regime”, which describes most organisms. I  show that this formula applies far outside the “weak selection” context it was originally  developed in, and that it is a universal feature of evolution in this regime. Such universal  features will be important components of any grand theory of adaptive evolution, and  are essential for studies of real populations where the microscopic population dynamics  are generally unknown.  I then apply this model to a particular molecular system in yeast, Transcription  Factor binding sites, which are short DNA sequences which play an important role in  iigene regulation. Using the functional relationship between evolutionary fitness and the  phenotypic steady state distribution, I infer the form of the selective pressure the sites  experience, and find it is consistent with a simple thermodynamic model of two-state  TF-DNA binding. I also show that the selection pressure a site experiences is decoupled  from the selection pressure on the gene it regulates. This suggests that binding sites  for a given TF evolve over a universal fitness landscape derived from simple physical  interactions.

description: Amphiphilic macromolecules (AMs), composed of a macromolecular hydrophobic segment and a hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are used as drug delivery systems and therapeutics. In this dissertation, AMs maintained physicochemical and biological properties after commercial sterilization treatment indicating AMs are suitable for commercialization. Furthermore, AMs are modified for anticancer drug and siRNA delivery.        In this dissertation, pH-sensitive AMs were successfully synthesized to solve the dilemma between stability during circulation and quick drug release at target site. Critical micelle concentrations of the pH-sensitive AMs indicated stability against dilution which occurs during blood circulation. Doxorubicin (DOX) was chosen as the anticancer drug to investigate the pH-dependent drug release profile. Enhanced DOX release at pH 5 was compared to pH &.4 due to the cleavage of hydrazone in the AM backbone. Further cytotoxicity studies showed that pH-senstive AMs decreased cell viability compared to free DOX and controll micelles. Therefore, the pH-sensitive AMs can achieve both stability in physiological condition and quick drug release at target site.       The delivery of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA), a potent gene knock-down therapeutic, is a main issue in biomedical field. In this dissertation, novel cationic amphiphilic macromolecule (CAM)-lipid complexes were developed with comparable transfection efficiency to Lipofectamin, a gold standard siRNA delivery vehicle in vitro. Dynamic light scattering indicated that CAM-lipid complexes possess the pH-responsive features: stable at pH &.4 (physiological pH) and instable at pH 5 (endosomal pH). Intracellular trafficking demonstrated the endosomal escape of siRNA possibly because of the pH-responsive feature. Furthermore, this dissertation is the first example of using isothermal titration calorimetry to study siRNA release from polymer-liposome systems. Overall, CAM-lipid complex was developed as an efficient siRNA carrier in vitro and mechanistic insights in delivery process provided.

description: Medical translation in the US has received increasing attention in recent years (Colina 2008; 2009). This trend can be observed in the passing of legislation that supports equal access to healthcare regardless of language, the development of training programs in different educational institutions, and also in the emergence of private initiatives in this field. In this context, this paper aims to classify, describe and analyze a genre with the highest volume of translation within medical practices, the Patient’s Personal and Medical Information Form (PPMIF).  This departs from a genre approach based on ESP and Discourse Analysis approaches applied to translation (i.e. Gamero 2001; García Izquierdo 2009). Methodologically, it uses a corpus-based approach: the compilation and description of the parallel corpus (100 English PPMIFs and their translations into Spanish). Then, a genre-based approach is applied to describe the superstructure of the textual genre following previous studies that focused on forms (i.e. Jiménez-Crespo 2010). In the last part of the study, a contrastive error-based quality analysis following previous TS studies such as Jiménez-Crespo (2011, 2012) and De Rooze (2003) is presented. This quality analysis intends to shed light into the current state of medical translation in the United States.

5th International Workshop on Breast Cancer Risk Assessment

description: This grant will provide major funding for the 5th International Breast Densitometry and Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Workshop. A high volume of dense breast tissue has been shown to be one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk in women, although the specific reason(s) for this is yet unknown. Currently there are no calibrated means to measure breast density in a clinical setting. In addition, there are no validated risk models that include this important risk factor. The result is that current risk models are not very specific in identifying the women at high cancer risk that benefit the most from treatment.

 The objectives of the two-day workshop are to: 1) inform participants on the advances in quantifying breast density and non-density image features and how it relates to breast cancer risk and cancer subtypes; 2) examine the biology of breast density, how it relates to breast cancer risk and how this knowledge may lead to better measurement of breast density; and 3) explore methodologies of communicating breast cancer risk model that incorporate breast density as a risk factor in the model. These goals are highly responsive to the Etiology and Prevention priority issue of the California Breast Cancer Research Program.

 The unique structure of the workshop includes active participations from advocates, basic and clinical researchers, and disseminates it results freely on the web. The co-chairs have hosted four previous breast densitometry workshops together and have unique contributions to the organization of the program. The grant will be used to directly fund invited leaders in the field from around the world by providing travel and accommodations reimbursement. The outcome of the workshop will be to increase research opportunities for California breast cancer researchers with international experts on this important and unmet need.

 The workshop is planned to be held on June 9-10 in San Francisco, CA at the Kabuki Conference Center.

description: This dissertation examines the ways in which American writers of regionalist fiction contended with the shifting political and economic landscape between 1880 and 1899. As the nation transitioned to a market-based economy after the Civil War, antebellum notions of property realigned to conform to an increasingly nationalizing and incorporating economy. Yet regionally-focused writers of the period demonstrate that pre-Civil War definitions of subject categories and rights shaped by local economic structures persisted. These writers resolve those conflicts instigated by the tensions between regional and nationally standardizing conceptions of property and ownership through violent formal tropes which function to metaphorically restructure their fictional subjects’ relationships to property within the region in question.   By investigating three sets of literary works, each attuned to a region within the U.S., this dissertation identifies three regionally and economically distinct tropes of violence. In doing so, it also argues that each regionalist writer uses violence on the level of literary form to resolve the problem of wage labor’s effect on property rights after the Civil War, with each trope necessitating the regional subject’s confrontation with the marginalizing effects of economic stratification. The first chapter discusses Southern local fiction’s attention to the violence inherent in the persisting designation of the ex-slave body as property after the decline of the plantation economy. The second chapter examines urban literature’s stylistic declaration and resolution of the violence of immigrant labor exploitation within New York City’s industrialized economy. And the final chapter considers the structural function of symbolic violence within regional fiction of the male agrarian laborer in the West in light of those redefinitions of ownership precipitated by railroad speculation.

Solvent induced modifications to fiber nanostructure and morphology for 12HSA molecular gels
Creators: name: Gao, Jie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Molecular organogels are thermo reversible quasi-solid materials, which are formed by low molecular weight organogelators (LMOGs) undergoing supramolecular aggregation via non-covalent interactions, forming a three-dimensional fibrillar network. Numerous applications of molecular organogels are been investigated as edible oils, drug release matrices and personal care products.    The chemistry of the organic phase (i.e., solvent) influences every level of structure in organogels. Different solvents induce LMOG to assemble into “crystal like” fibers, which have more than one crystal form, lamellar arrangement and domain size. Differences in these solid states are known to affect the macroscopic properties of the gel, including critical gelator concentration (CGC), melting point, melting enthalpy and opacity.12-hydroxystearic acid (12HSA) was examined in several classes of organic solvents with different function groups. These gels, sols or precipitates were analyzed using a series of techniques including: powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (pNMR) and microscopy.  Specifically, certain solvents caused 12HSA to self-assemble into a triclinic parallel polymorphic form with subcell spacing of ~4.6, 3.9, and 3.8 Å and an interdigitated unit cell with a lamellar arrangement (38~44 Å). This polymorphic form corresponded to a less effective sphereultic supramolecular crystalline network, which immobilizes solvents at CGC greater than 1.5 wt %. The other group of solvents induce a hexagonal subcell spacing (i.e., unit sub cell spacing ~4.1 Å) and are arranged in a multi lamellar fashion with a unit cell greater than the bimolecular length of 12HSA (~54 Å).This polymorphic form corresponds to fibrillar aggregates with a CGC less than 1 wt %.
