Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This thesis presents a method to improve the accuracy of detecting movement and use of medical instruments in the trauma bay by integrating sensing capability into the pre-existing passive RFID tags. Adding the sensing capability to the passive RFID tags gives it the capability to be aware of motion and users touch. The semi-passive sensor equipped Gen2 tag is comprised of an ultra-low-power microcontroller, capacitive touch sensor, 3-axis accelerometer and a Gen2 I2C-RFID chip. All the components are being operated at a very strict power constraint that has an expected lifetime of close to 1 year when equipped with a small 225-mAh coin battery. This sensor enabled RFID tag is used in the trauma bay to track motion and activity by sensing different environmental and physiological data.   This thesis is comprised of the complete design documentation and explanation of the algorithms used in development of the RFID SmartTag. The accuracy and power consumption of the various sensors used and of the final version of the RFID SmartTag were tested and the results were documented.

Computational study of water over titanium dioxide surfaces
Creators: name: Mushnoori, Srinivas Chakravarthy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Given the potential of Titanium Dioxide as a source of alternative energy, drug  delivery, protein adsorption, etc. it is imperative that the underlying mechanism of  surface-water interactions be thoroughly understood. To this end, our study employs  Molecular Dynamics simulations to establish a nanoscale, all atomistic model to  capture the mechanistics of the interfacial interactions of water with a Titanium  Dioxide surface. Two polymorphs of Titanium Dioxide, Anatase (101) and Rutile  (110), are simulated and various aspects of their interfacial behavior studied. Further,  a comparison is made between two different electrostatic models, namely, the Multi-  Level Summation and the Screened Coulomb potential. The outcome of these studies  can guide the adoption of suitable electrostatic potentials for examining bulk-scale  behavior in titania-water systems. To this end, a specific case of Titanium Dioxide  decorated with Platinum atoms is studied using the Screened Coulomb potential.
Rare-earth-doped single-crystal YAG fibers grown by the laser heated pedestal growth technique
Creators: name: Nie, Craig Daniel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The laser-heated pedestal growth (LHPG) technique is an unconventional method for growth of single-crystal (SC) fibers with the advantages of high pulling rates and crucible-free processing when compared to more conventional techniques such as the Czochralski technique. In this dissertation, the processing of rare-earth (RE3+) doped yttrium aluminum garnet, Y3Al5O12, (YAG) fibers using the LHPG technique was significantly improved upon as the result of the development of a new, more accurate method to align the CO2 laser along with the minimization of waveguide irregularities.        Initially, the dominant loss mechanism in the fabricated SC fibers was bulk scattering, resulting from thermal stresses in the core due to inadequate alignment. Once these stresses were remedied by the implementation of new alignment techniques, absorption became the dominant loss mechanism with minimal scattering. For short fiber lengths, the absence of diameter control did not prove to be critical. However, when fibers exceeded 30 cm in length, the waveguide would couple low-order modes to high-order modes that can become radiation modes at longer lengths. By implementing a diameter control feedback loop, these effects were minimized.       The fibers were characterized by studying the optical properties of an undoped and doped air-clad SC YAG fiber (typically 330 μm in diameter). The total attenuation and scattering loss was measured using visible and NIR lasers. The lowest losses were achieved with the growth of a 1 m long SC fiber - lower than any currently published. The total attenuation of the YAG fibers is now below 0.3 dB/m, at 1064 nm. This loss is primarily attributed to the bulk absorption of the raw material, with as little as 0.02 dB/m of this loss coming from scattering in RE doped YAG fibers. At non-absorbing wavelengths, the 0.5% Ho:YAG fibers have an equivalently low loss. This low loss is critical for applications of YAG fibers, specifically regarding lasing of 0.5% Ho:YAG. Lasing has been demonstrated with increasing slope efficiency as the quality of the crystal fiber was improved. At 72.3%, the fiber’s slope efficiency with respect to incident pump power is approaching the slope efficiency for bulk Ho:YAG lasers.

Inflammation and post-stroke depression
Creators: name: Norton, Sara Ann
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been associated with elevations in circulating inflammatory cytokines. In addition, a subset of AIS patients can develop clinically significant depression (post-stroke depression [PSD]), which can compromise recovery and increase recurrence of stroke. The cytokines, interleukin­1β (IL­1β), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), and interleukin­6 (IL­6) are known to have neuromodulatory effects, including the induction of behavioral changes similar to depressive symptomatology. Moreover, increased circulating levels of these cytokines – in particular, IL­6 ­ have been observed in depressed individuals. Therefore, it is possible that the development of PSD may similarly be associated with increased levels of inflammatory cytokines. In the current study, we recruited 25 AIS patients and assessed executive cognition, clinical depression, and circulating IL­1β, TNFα and IL­6. Each of these variables was measured at three time points following admission for AIS: (A) 1­2 days, (B) 5­7 days, and (C) 90 days. Depression was assessed throughout using the Hamilton Depression Scale and Beck Depression Inventory, as well as a structured diagnostic interview for depression (SCID) on Day 90. Cognitive functioning was measured using the RBANS. Additional repeated measures of functional and neurological status were obtained using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Of those patients that completed all three time points (n=22), six showed detectable levels of plasma IL­6 within seven days of AIS. A further three patients (13.6%) showed evidence for PSD at Day 90, but none of these had detectable IL­6 at any time point. Contrary to expectations, no patients, at any time point, had detectable plasma levels of TNFα or IL­1β. Based on evidence that IL­6 may be neuroprotective in animal studies of stroke, the current findings, although based on a small cohort of patients, lend themselves to the novel hypothesis that failure to generate plasma IL­6 elevations after AIS is associated with PSD and poor cognitive recovery.

Emboliocoris Carvalho & China, 1951: 682 (original description). Type species: Neofurius marginatus Distant, 1893: 446. Original designation.
Material examined. COLOMBIA. Risaralda: 1 ♂, Mistrató, Cgto. San Antonio del Chamí, Vda. La Graciela, Qda. Soto, 1150 m, 6.iv.1992 (M. Echavarría) (ICN 092926).
Diagnosis. Embolium in dorsal view, proximally wide, with a depression, and distally narrow (Carvalho & China 1951; Carvalho & Ferreira 1995).
Associated/host plants. Unknown.
Distribution. British Guiana and México (Carvalho & China 1951). Colombia (Risaralda).
Comments. This is the first record of this genus in Colombia. The genus is composed by two described species: Emboliocoris marginatus (Distant, 1884) and Emboliocoris pacaraimensis Carvalho & China, 1951, each described from one specimen. Carvalho & China (1951) differentiated the two species by the color pattern and the male genitalia; however, the genitalia of E. marginatus is neither described nor illustrated. Therefore, we requested assistance from the British Museum of Natural History (BMNH) to obtain photographs and the label information of the Holotypes. With this, we were able to determine that the Holotype of E. marginatus is in fact a female.
The genitalia of the specimen examined in this study matches that of E. pacaraimensis, but the coloration pattern resembles that of E. marginatus, particularly the transverse spot on the pronotum; due to this, it was not possible to identify the specimen at the species level.

description: In this paper, I examine individual and contextual factors that may mitigate the relationship between gender and well-being.  Specifically, I examine the roles of diversity climate, gender identity, and family identity salience as potentially mitigating factors against the incivility that women often face in the workplace.  I test the hypothesized relationships using data collected from Amazon Mechanical Turk, and conclude with a discussion of the results and theoretical implications.

Development of a hydroxyapatite reinforced, load-bearing scaffold for bone regeneration

description: With over 500,000 bone grafting procedures performed annually in the United States alone, the advancement of bone tissue regeneration has come to the forefront of medical research [1,2]. While native bone tissue does possess a limited ability to repair itself, surgical intervention is required for injuries with critical sized defects. Autografts and allografts are the accepted gold standard treatment options; however, their application is limited by donor site morbidity and disease transmission, respectively [2]. Although various tissue-engineered approaches have been explored to develop a viable synthetic bone graft substitute, a major challenge has been achieving a load-bearing design that can appropriately mimic the mechanical properties of native bone tissue [1]. To address the issue, this study focuses on using hydroxyapatite (HAp)—a calcium phosphate derivative similar to the inorganic mineral found in bone—to develop a structurally reinforced scaffold, which exhibits the mechanical properties of native whole bone. HAp packed into a cylindrical framework was processed under varying conditions (sintering time, sintering temperature, packing pressure, and hydroxyapatite grain size) to maximize its mechanical properties. The resulting HAp columns were further tested in a 6-week degradation study, to determine the physical and mechanical response of the columns under biological conditions. The cellular response of sintered HAp columns was determined using murine preosteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1. Cell viability, metabolic activity, and morphology were studied over a one-week period. To structurally reinforce a composite trabecular and cortical bone scaffold that was previously developed in the MoTR Lab [1], Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to determine the columns’ geometric configuration and arrangement within the scaffold. Preliminary results indicate that the incorporation of a mechanically enhanced HAp structural support system is a promising step towards developing one of the first load-bearing bone scaffolds that can also promote osteoblastic and vascular differentiation.
Cultural landscapes and traditional cultural properties

description: This thesis discusses issues concerning the way cultural landscapes and traditional cultural properties are designated by the National Park Service. The field of cultural heritage has grown rapidly since the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended through 1992 (Public Law 102-575) and the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1972. In 1992, the United Nations Education, Scientific, Cultural Organization adopted cultural landscapes in their operational guidelines and the National Park Service created Traditional Cultural Properties as a new means to recognize and protect cultural heritage. Over the past twenty years these protections have not succeeded in protecting cultural heritage sites as they may have been intended. Using examples of Traditional Cultural Properties, cultural landscapes from the Mid-Atlantic Region in the United States and international cultural landscapes recognized by UNESCO as case studies, this thesis will explore the failings of these national and international cultural resource designations.

description: Dieser Workshop setzt sich mit dem (allbekannten) Thema der Poweranalyse auseinander. Stichprobenplanung ist für empirische Forschung unentbehrlich - aber wie gehe ich diese richtig an? Wir widmen uns der Grundidee und verschiedenen Zugängen an die Poweranalyse von statistischen Tests, wie diese durchgeführt werden können, und was alles zu beachten ist. Spezifisch beschäftigen wir uns v.a. auch damit, wie wir über Simulationen komplexere statistische Verfahren analysieren können. Dies gibt uns einen Werkzeugkasten an die Hand, mit dem wir sehr flexibel für verschiedene Kontexte unsere statistische Power evaluieren können. Neben diesem angewandten Fokus besprechen wir auch, welche verschiedenen Herangehensweisen an Poweranalysen es gibt und wie diese für verschiedenen Forschungsdesigns angewendet und interpretiert werden können, bzw. welche alternativen Zugänge existieren.

Design and synthesis of novel pan-targeting anti-influenza agents
Creators: name: Sagong, Hye Yeon
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Pandemics and seasonal epidemics of influenza pose a major health concern worldwide. The limitation of vaccination and the emergence of influenza virus strains that are resistant to the current antivirals, have emphasized the search for a new antiviral with novel mechanisms of action. The endonuclease activity of polymerase acidic protein (PA) has been identified as an attractive target. PAN endonuclease is a highly conserved and essential viral transcription protein, which cleaves host pre-mRNA during the cap-snatching process. The cap-snatching mechanism is a unique process of the viral transcription. There are many known PAN endonuclease inhibitors, and few of them inhibited viral reproduction in the cell.  iii  Our research efforts began with conducting a fragment screening campaign using 2009 pandemic H1N1 PAN. The compound 5-chloro-3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-one was identified as a bimetal chelating ligand at the active site of the enzyme. Several scaffolds were proposed from the hit compound including 3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-ones, 3-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones and aza analogous of 3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-ones. Although initial SAR studies on 3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-ones led to compound 13 with a modest antiviral activity in the cellular assay (EC50 = 11 μM), neither 3-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones nor aza analogous of 3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-ones displayed any ex-vivo activity. Our research again focused on the initial scaffold, 3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-ones. Optimization of binding interaction at the 5- and 6-positions of the pyridinone ring provided compounds having inhibitory activity that is comparative compound 13 in the enzymatic assay. Unfortunately, these compounds were not active in the cellular assay. Our research then turned to preparing noncompetitive inhibitors to validate whether irreversible or a more sustained modification of PAN could result in ex-vivo activity. In the meantime, 3-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives with an additional chelating moiety, which could have enhanced binding interactions with PAN, were prepared. This concept, however, turned out to be unsuccessful as we could not see any ex-vivo activity with these compounds as well. Although our various attempts at designing PAN endonuclease inhibitor with a great ex-vivo activity were unsuccessful, continued efforts are being made to find a PAN endonuclease inhibitor, which could be developed into the clinic.
