description: Background: Despite the fact that cervical cancer is known to be a preventable cancer, it remains one of the major causes of cancer-related deaths in females. A number of studies have attributed differences in clinical outcomes of cervical cancer to several factors such as stage at presentation, treatment pattern, and socioeconomic status. However, the association of specific genetic alterations with differences in clinical outcomes remains largely unexplored.  Objectives: The initial research purpose was to identify the most common oncogene and tumor suppressor gene in cervical cancer with mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs). The focused research purpose was to examine the association of the identified oncogene and tumor suppressor gene with clinical outcomes and racial differences.   Methodology: This study made use of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The TCGA cervical cancer data were submitted between 2011 and 2014. The two genomic profiles used were mutation data and CNA data. The Fisher’s exact and chi-square tests were used to test for associations between the categorical variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to quantify the strength of associations.      Results: There were 309 cervical cancer cases. Phosphatidylinositol3-Kinase Catalytic Subunit Alpha (PIK3CA) and Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) genes were identified as the most common oncogene and tumor suppressor gene respectively. 63 patients had mutations in PIK3CA or PTEN or both, and 70 patients had CNAs. The ORs (Exp(B)) of death and tumor recurrence for patients with mutations were 3.300(1.625– 6.700) and 2.461(1.120–5.407) respectively. The ORs of death and tumor recurrence for patients with CNAs were 2.316(1.282–4.186) and 2.383(1.228–4.624) respectively. The ORs for CNA positive for the Black race compared to White race was 2.378(1.137–5.452).   Conclusions: Genetic alterations in PIK3CA or PTEN or both are associated with a higher risk of cervical cancer mortality and tumor recurrence. These genes can be explored as therapeutic targets to improve cervical cancer treatment. High prevalence of CNAs in African American women could be due to the fact that a larger percentage presented at a later stage as stages III and IV are significant predictors of the presence of CNAs in these genes.

description: This paper introduces a novel methodological approach for surfacing the acceptability and adoption challenges that confront future and emerging technologies from the perspective of mundane action, in which they will ultimately be embedded and used. This novel approach configures design fiction as a breaching experiment to surface taken for granted background expectancies that are fateful for acceptability and adoption. We explain the logic of this new interdisciplinary method and present a concrete case to demonstrate its viability: a design fiction called Experiencing the Future Mundane (EFM), which depicts a future world in which watching TV is driven by smart adaptive media. We explicate the design of the EFM, how it was configured to breach common sense knowledge and surface taken for granted background expectancies concerning how watching TV works and is expected to work, the acceptability and adoption challenges that emerge from user engagement with the experience, and how this novel approach may be adopted more broadly.
Modeling employment outcome post brain injury resource facilitation

description: Disability following traumatic brain injury (TBI) can impact community integration as well as employment post injury. Considering the impact unemployment can have on quality of life, recovery, and the economy, several targeted interventions have been identified in the literature. One successful evidence-based intervention is called resource facilitation (RF). RF is an intervention targeted at improving employment rates in the TBI community with resulting return to work rates well above established return to work rates published in the brain injury population.    Even with the success of RF, variability in outcome in a concern. Identification of variables that contribute to positive or negative employment outcomes could help target at-risk patients earlier in the treatment protocol and influence clinical recommendations during treatment.    This project was designed to identify the complex relationship between predictor variables and return to work after participation in the RF program. Although many models exist currently in the literature, none of the published models are appropriate for the RF population. Additionally, currently published models typically involve linear regression models making the relationships between predictor variables difficult to detect. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the variables identified in the literature and identify direct and indirect predictors of outcome. SEM allows for direct testing of mediating variables as well as proposed latent variables within one prediction model. A preliminary model based on theoretical considerations as well as empirical evidence was used as a starting point.   Although the initially hypothesized model was not an appropriate fit for the current dataset, two statistically sound models were generated during post hoc testing. Upon successfully identifying the two prediction models, results indicate that brain injury survivors with childhood injuries cannot be modeled in the same sample as brain injury survivors injured as adults, suggesting a difference between rehabilitation patients and “habilitation” patients.

Celiac disease risk estimation and decision-making expert system
Creators: name: Pastore, Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Background: Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disease affecting people of all ages that results in small intestine enteropathy and is caused by the permanent intolerance to gliadin and glutenin, two proteins found in gluten containing grains. Celiac disease is considered to be a clinical chameleon. The disease can also be asymptomatic. Average prevalence of celiac disease in the population is one out of 100 people with data indicating the risk may be as high as 22% for those with first-degree relatives that have the disease. Research suggests 83% of people with celiac disease may be undiagnosed and the average duration for diagnosis is 10 years. Data indicates there is a lack of consensus regarding methodology used to diagnose celiac disease and poor knowledge of associated diseases and symptomatology. A review of the literature determined a celiac disease risk estimation and decision-making expert system including signs, symptomatology, manifestations and associations, with serology and histology based on the Mayo Clinic algorithm, using Exsys Corvid Software, did not currently exist. Method: A new clinical decision support system (CDSS) was developed using Exsys Corvid for expert analysis. The CDSS was divided into symptoms and manifestations with 80 points of navigation, and a serology section, and was validated by 13 experts in the field of celiac disease using a 10 statement, 5-point Likert scale.  Results: This scale was analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient, which was calculated using SPSS. Cronbach’s alpha revealed good internal consistency and reliability with a result of 0.813. One-hundred percent of the experts agreed with the system and that the CDSS is capable of guiding a healthcare professional through the diagnostic process, contains an accurate list of symptoms based on the clinical literature, can foster improved awareness and education about celiac disease, and that there is a need for this system. Over 90% agreed the system is a good tool for training medical students or residents.  Conclusion: A celiac disease risk estimation and decision-making expert system was successfully developed and evaluated by medical professionals, with 100% agreeing that this CDSS is medically accurate and can guide healthcare professionals through the diagnostic process.

description: As current experiments already realize small quantum circuits on error corrected qubits, it is important to fully understand the effect of physical errors on the logical error channels of these fault-tolerant circuits. Here, we investigate a lattice-surgery-based CNOT operation between two surface code patches under phenomenological error models. (i) For two-qubit logical Pauli measurements -- the elementary building block of the CNOT -- we optimize the number of stabilizer measurement rounds, usually taken equal to $d$, the size (code distance) of each patch. We find that the optimal number can be greater or smaller than $d$, depending on the rate of physical and readout errors, and the separation between the code patches. (ii) We fully characterize the two-qubit logical error channel of the lattice-surgery-based CNOT. We find a symmetry of the CNOT protocol, that results in a symmetry of the logical error channel. We also find that correlations between X and Z errors on the logical level are suppressed under minimum weight decoding.

description: Enhancing 3D and Z-axis positioning accuracy is crucial for effective rescue in indoor emergencies, ensuring safety for emergency responders and at-risk individuals. Additionally, reducing the dependence of a positioning system on fixed infrastructure is crucial, given its vulnerability to power failures and damage during emergencies. Further challenges from a signal propagation perspective include poor indoor signal coverage, multipath effects and the problem of Non-Line-OfSight (NLOS) measurement bias. In this study, we utilize the mobility provided by a rapidly deployable Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based wireless network to address these challenges. We recognize diffraction from window edges as a crucial signal propagation mechanism and employ the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (GTD) to introduce a novel NLOS path length model. Using this path length model, we propose two different techniques to improve the indoor positioning performance for emergency scenarios.

Analyses of compliance to evidence based guidelines in the areas of hyperlipidemia, men's preventative health, and stroke/heart disease in New Jersey family practices
Creators: name: Ramdin, Christine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: BACKGROUND:  Literature demonstrates that over the years primary care practices have been failing to comply with evidence based guidelines in treating their patients. One study demonstrated that only 50% of patients receive recommended preventative care, 60% receive recommended care for acute conditions, and 70% receive recommended care for chronic conditions. [1]  As a result, studies show that many patients end up going to the emergency room repeated times for conditions that could have been properly treated by primary care doctors. [2], [3] Consequently, this study aims to determine how often primary care practices are complying with evidence based guidelines in select topics (i.e. treatment of hyperlipidemia, screening for men’s preventative health, and screening for stroke/heart disease prevention), and whether or not raising awareness to lack of compliance will increase compliance.  METHODS: Data was collected over a sample of 40 family practices in New Jersey between Academic years 2015-17.  344 students conducted analyses on an appropriate random selection of patient charts to determine how often their practices were meeting guidelines for a topic of interest. They then discussed the results with their preceptor and summarized the interaction as well as results in a 5-page paper.   RESULTS: Post-discussion of results with preceptor, it was found that there were improvements to compliance to guidelines in 2/6 categories for treatment of hyperlipidemia, 6/12 categories for screening of men’s preventative health, and 4/6 categories in screening for stroke and heart disease prevention.  It was also found that there were statistically significant improvements in blood pressure readings and cholesterol levels for patients being treated for hyperlipidemia, however, there were no notable improvements in patients that were screened for appropriate treatment for stroke/heart disease prevention.  CONCLUSION: Consistently raising awareness to practice performance through the use of QA/QI data can increase compliance to evidence based practice as well as have an impact on patient outcomes. Further studies should investigate techniques that can assist providers in keeping up to date with their performance as well as the most recent literature.

description: Few-body physics for anyons has been intensively studied within the anyon-Hubbard model, including the quantum walk and Bloch oscillations of two-anyon states. However, the known theoretical proposal and experimental simulations of two-anyon states in one-dimensional lattice have been carried out by expanding the wavefunction in terms of non-orthogonal basis vectors, which introduces extra non-physical degrees of freedom. In the present work, we deduce the finite difference equations for the two-anyon state in the one-dimensional lattice by solving the Schrödinger equation with orthogonal basis vectors. Such an orthogonal scheme gives all the orthogonal physical eigenstates for the time-independent two-anyon Schrödinger equation, while the conventional (non-orthogonal) method produces a lot of non-physical redundant eigen-solutions whose components violate the anyonic relations. The dynamical property of the two-anyon states in a sufficiently large lattice has been investigated and compared in both the orthogonal and conventional schemes, which proves to depend crucially on the initial states. When the initial states with two anyons on the same site or (next-)neighboring sites are suitably chosen to be in accordance with the anyonic coefficient relation, we observe exactly the same dynamical behavior in the two schemes, including the revival probability, the probability density function, and the two-body correlation, otherwise, the conventional scheme will produce erroneous results which not any more describe anyons. The period of the Bloch oscillation in the pseudo-fermionic limit is found to be twice that in the bosonic limit, while the oscillations disappear for statistical parameters in between. Our findings are vital for quantum simulations of few-body physics with anyons in the lattice.

description: Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) are fundamental to quantum machine learning (QML), quantum optimization, and variational quantum algorithms (VQAs). The expressibility of PQCs is a measure that determines their capability to harness the full potential of the quantum state space. It is thus a crucial guidepost to know when selecting a particular PQC ansatz. However, the existing technique for expressibility computation through statistical estimation requires a large number of samples, which poses significant challenges due to time and computational resource constraints. This paper introduces a novel approach for expressibility estimation of PQCs using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). We demonstrate the predictive power of our GNN model with a dataset consisting of 25,000 samples from the noiseless IBM QASM Simulator and 12,000 samples from three distinct noisy quantum backends. The model accurately estimates expressibility, with root mean square errors (RMSE) of 0.05 and 0.06 for the noiseless and noisy backends, respectively. We compare our model's predictions with reference circuits [Sim and others, QuTe'2019] and IBM Qiskit's hardware-efficient ansatz sets to further evaluate our model's performance. Our experimental evaluation in noiseless and noisy scenarios reveals a close alignment with ground truth expressibility values, highlighting the model's efficacy. Moreover, our model exhibits promising extrapolation capabilities, predicting expressibility values with low RMSE for out-of-range qubit circuits trained solely on only up to 5-qubit circuit sets. This work thus provides a reliable means of efficiently evaluating the expressibility of diverse PQCs on noiseless simulators and hardware.

description: Test Driven Development (TDD) is one of the major practices of Extreme Programming for which incremental testing and refactoring trigger the code development. TDD has limited adoption in the industry, as it requires more code to be developed and experienced developers. Generative AI (GenAI) may reduce the extra effort imposed by TDD. In this work, we introduce an approach to automatize TDD by embracing GenAI either in a collaborative interaction pattern in which developers create tests and supervise the AI generation during each iteration or a fully-automated pattern in which developers only supervise the AI generation at the end of the iterations. We run an exploratory experiment with ChatGPT in which the interaction patterns are compared with the non-AI TDD regarding test and code quality and development speed. Overall, we found that, for our experiment and settings, GenAI can be efficiently used in TDD, but it requires supervision of the quality of the produced code. In some cases, it can even mislead non-expert developers and propose solutions just for the sake of the query.

description: Developers use different means to document the security concerns of their code. Because of all of these opportunities, they may forget where the information is stored, or others may not be aware of it, and leave it unmaintained for so long that it becomes obsolete, if not useless. In this work, we analyzed different sources of code documentation from four large-scale, real-world, open-source projects in an industrial setting to understand where developers report their security concerns. In particular, we manually inspected 2.559 instances taken from source code comments, commit messages, and issue trackers. Overall, we found that developers prefer to document security concerns in source code comments and issue trackers. We also found that the longer the comments stay unfixed, the more likely they remain unfixed. Thus, to create awareness among developers, we implemented a pipeline to remind them about the introduction or removal of comments pointing to a security problem.

description: Two examples each representing a biological network under oscillating conditions and in equilibrium are studied in the thesis. In the first problem, we recall a new methodology for the simulation and control of large metabolic systems called LIFE (Linear in Flux Expressions) introduced in a recent paper.  The second problem focuses on the rhythmic behavior of an organism’s biological system. Circadian rhythms are observed in most organisms on earth and are known to play a major role in successful adaptation to the 24-h cycling environment. Circadian phenotypes are characterized by a free-running period that is observed in constant conditions and an entrained phase that is observed in light-dark conditions. The relationship between the free-running period and phase of entrainment is of interest. Our analyses support the view that the circadian period of an organism is not the only predictor of the entrained phase.
Co-aggregation studies of nucleic acid nanostructures with tetracycline molcules

description: Biological systems have evolved complex macromolecular nanostructures to carry   out cellular functions with high specificity and efficiency, such as mitochondrial electron  transport chains, polymerase and transcription cofactors and light-harvesting antenna in   photosynthesis.  These organized nanostructures are formed inside cells by spontaneous   self-assembly of individual molecular components. In the past few decades, researchers   have taken advantage of the self-assembly of nucleic acids to construct various 1D – 3D   nanostructures. Self-assembled DNA nanostructures have an inherent advantage of   generating programmable nanostructures with controllable parameters of dimension,   structural hierarchy and nanometer precision, which can be used for mediating drug   release. In this thesis, we have studied single- or double-stranded DNA molecules for   forming nanoparticles with minocycline (MH) in the presence of magnesium ions   (bridging effect) and π-π stacking interaction. We evaluated multi-dimensional DNA   nanostructures (e.g. ssDNA, dsDNA, DNA origami) to load and release MH with   sufficient dose during an interval of two weeks. The entrapment efficiency of MH and           iii      DNA was found to depend on the Mg2+ concentration, DNA length, and types of DNA   (i.e. as a function of nitrogen bases).  The molecule ssDNA with length > 11-nucleotide   (nt) was found to form aggregates with MH in the presence of Mg2+. The titration of   Mg2+ concentration showed that the maximum particle formation yield was reached at ~ 4   mM. ssDNA also showed higher dimensional aggregate formation yield than dsDNA,   due to the flexible structure of ssDNA allowing more aggregation with MH and Mg2+. In   collaboration with Drexel University, we have applied DNA-Mg2+-MH particles to   agarose gel encapsulation and release for maintaining the activity of MH during a long  period release. This DNA-mediated MH release could be potentially used in the future   spinal cord therapy for localized delivery of MH at the injury site.

description: We confirm by using the Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculation that $ {}^{164} \mathrm{Pb} $ is a possible heaviest $ N = Z $ doubly magic nucleus whose lifetime is long enough to be measured on accelerator experiments. We estimate the proton-emission and alpha-decay half-lives of $ {}^{164} \mathrm{Pb} $. The estimated proton-emission half-life ranges from $ 0.1 \, \mathrm{ps} $ to $ 10 \, \mathrm{ns} $, while the alpha decay can be safely neglected.

A microfluidic investigation of calcium oxalate crystallization
Creators: name: Anstice, Jinnie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Calcium oxalate crystallization is widely studied due to the prevalence of this substance in various biomineralization processes, especially the formation of kidney stones. Bulk crystallization studies are a common and popular method for investigating calcium oxalate in particular. Crystallization studies using microfluidic platforms are becoming more popular because of the simplicity of use, cost effectiveness and enhanced control of system variables that these systems offer. Microfluidic systems using a two-input, one-output design results in crystallization at the entrance of the microchannel. This could lead to clogging of the device, and clogging makes it difficult to study crystallization over long lengths of time using these devices. In this study a three-input, three-output microfluidic channel system was designed and a protocol was established that minimized bubble occurrence and synthesized calcium oxalate crystals within the device; crystals were analyzed ex-situ. Equimolar input salt concentrations (CaCl2, K2C2O4) of 20, 40 and 60 mM were used in these experiments. Evidence of crystallization within the device was a line forming in the center channel that grew (i.e., darkened) over time. As the concentration of input salt solution increased, the time that it took for the line to be visible decreased but the length and darkness of the line increased. In order to re-use devices hydrochloric acid was tested as a cleaning solvent, and it proved to be an appropriate solvent that did not alter the crystallization process. Experiments in which sodium polyacrylate (a common additive in calcium oxalate crystallization experiments) was added to the system showed that the additive inhibited the growth of crystals formed within the microfluidic device. Analysis of collected crystals was done by optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Neben Arbeitsmarktwirkungen werden auch andere Wirkungen diskutiert, wie Effekte auf die Gesundheit, die soziale Teilhabe und das Wohlbefinden der Geförderten. Effekte auf die Zufriedenheit mit der Gesundheit könnten direkte, wenn auch zeitverzögerte Wirkungen auf die Ausgaben der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherungen haben. Wirkungen auf die soziale Teilhabe sowie auf das Wohlbefinden der Geförderten können auch für eine Gesellschaft insgesamt von Nutzen sein, soweit diese an der Inklusion aller Bürgerinnen und Bürger interessiert ist.
Investigating strangeness enhancement in jet and medium via $ϕ$(1020) production in p$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV

description: This work aims to differentiate strangeness produced from hard processes (jet-like) and softer processes (underlying event) by measuring the angular correlation between a high-momentum trigger hadron (h) acting as a jet-proxy and a produced strange hadron ($ϕ(1020)$ meson). Measuring h$-ϕ$ correlations at midrapidity in p$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV as a function of event multiplicity provides insight into the microscopic origin of strangeness enhancement in small collision systems. The jet-like and the underlying-event-like strangeness production are investigated as a function of event multiplicity. They are also compared between a lower and higher momentum region. The evolutions of the per-trigger yields within the near-side (aligned with the trigger hadron) and away-side (in the opposite direction of the trigger hadron) jets are studied separately, allowing for the characterization of two distinct jet-like production regimes. Furthermore, the h$-ϕ$ correlations within the underlying event give access to a production regime dominated by soft production processes, which can be compared directly to the in-jet production. Comparisons between h$-ϕ$ and dihadron correlations show that the observed strangeness enhancement is largely driven by the underlying event, where the $ϕ/\mathrm{h}$ ratio is significantly larger than within the jet regions. As multiplicity increases, the fraction of the total $ϕ(1020)$ yield coming from jets decreases compared to the underlying event production, leading to high-multiplicity events being dominated by the increased strangeness production from the underlying event.
