Moraic Onsets
Creators: name: Topintzi, Nina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2006

description: This thesis examines the status of onsets and their effects on stress and prosody. I argue that moraic onsets exist, a claim that contradicts standard phonological models (Hyman 1985, Hayes 1989, Gordon 1999, Morén 1999) which assume that onsets are not moraic, given that in the overwhelming majority of languages onsets are inert for prosodic processes.Using data from Pirahã, Karo and Arabela stress, I show that weightful onsets actively participate in weight-sensitive stress assignment. Moreover, I point out that if onsets can be moraic, a host of other weight-based phenomena, should also be able to utilize them. This is exactly right, as verified by word minimality in Bella Coola, Samothraki Greek compensatory lengthening (CL), onset geminates in Pattani Malay, Trukese and Marshallese and a variety of other data, e.g. Trique CL, Bellonese reduplication. Crucially, this is not a prediction shared by previous prominence-based analyses of similar facts (Hayes 1995, Gordon 2005, Smith 2005). Prominence is inherently designed to account only for stress, not for other weight-based phenomena. If one were to entertain a prominence account, then most of the data above would remain unexplained.However, not all onsets can be moraic. The proposed model is restrictive in admitting only two kinds of moraic onsets: those which are underlying, i.e. emerging as geminates, and those which are derived in the output and serve for stress purposes. While the former can be of any featural content (since they are lexically specified and thus unpredictable), for the latter ones, I claim that only voiceless onsets can be moraic, whereas voiced ones are never moraic. This relates to a well-known generalisation affecting a different prosodic phenomenon, namely tone. Voiceless onsets raise the pitch of the following vowel, voiced ones lower it. In many languages such pitch perturbation is interpreted as tone. My proposal is that in some other languages, this pitch perturbation is instead interpreted as stress and is formally represented by means of moras, which are only assigned to the stress-attracting voiceless onsets. Pirahã, Karo and Arabela data empirically confirm this finding.

Canadian French Vowel Harmony
Creators: name: Poliquin, Gabriel Christophe
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2006

description: This thesis provides a phonological, psycholinguistic and phonetic description of vowel harmony in Canadian French (CF), as well as a theoretical account of the phenomenon showing that the CF facts may only be accounted for in derivational frameworks that include the notion of 'cycle.'  CF [ATR] vowel harmony is regressive, optional, and parasitic on the feature [+high]. CF [ATR] harmony involves spreading of a [-ATR] feature from a final [+high] vowel in a closed syllable to other [+high] vowels within the same word that are in non-final open syllables (e.g. [fi.lIp] or [fI.lIp] are both acceptable variants for 'Phillip').  The thesis describes and explains the four key attributes of harmony in this language: 1) There is inter-speaker (and possibly intra-speaker) variation with respect to whether harmony is applied locally and/or iteratively.  Variation with respect to these parameters leads to the existence of three patterns of harmony, as evidenced by words of more than two syllables.  There is the local non-iterative pattern, e.g. [i.lI.sIt] ('illicit'), the non-local pattern, e.g. [I.li.sIt] and the 'across-the-board' pattern [I.lI.sIt].2) As shown in 1), there exists a pattern of non-local harmony, in which the target vowel is separated from the trigger by another [+high] vowel. 3) Harmony is counterbled by a process of 'pre-fricative tensing,' which leads to opaque allophony. 4) Harmony applies cyclically, but is then counterbled by another 'open-syllable tensing' process, which results in another case of opacity.  For example, harmony can apply in a word like [mY.zIk] ('music'), but if we concatenate a resyllabifying suffix like [al], we obtain [mY.zi.kal] ('musical').  The initial [+high] vowel can be [-ATR], since harmony applied in the stem, but the resyllabified trigger must be [+ATR], by an open syllable tensing rule.The thesis makes the following claim: CF vowel harmony shows very compellingly that models of the phonological component must include mechanisms accounting for non-local relations, derivational opacity and the interaction between phonology and morphology.
Mundurukú: phonetics, phonology, synchrony, diachrony

Year: 2005

description: This dissertation offers an in-depth investigation of the phonology of Mundurukú, a Tupi language spoken in the Amazonian basin of Brazil, approached from three interrelated perspectives:  phonetic, phonological and diachronic. It examines (i) the Mundurukú vowel and consonant inventories, (ii) syllable structure and syllabification, (iii) phonotactic patterns, (iv) nasal harmony, (v) consonant mutation, (vi) tone system and the tone-creaky voice interaction, (vii) reduplication, and (viii) the phonological behavior of various affixes.The phonetic investigation focuses on several acoustic properties of segments (i.e. vowels and consonants), and on phonological contrasts observed in vowels, in particular the oral-nasal and modal-creaky voice oppositions, in addition to tonal distinctions. This is done with a view to determining how and to what extent such phonetic realizations can be imposed on phonological representations. These issues constitute an important part of the study, and are particularly relevant to the discussion about the coarticulatory effects observed in the realization of stops, nasals and laryngeals. The study also offers a formal account of all major phonological processes attested in the language such as syllabification, nasal harmony, consonant mutation, tone, etc. The theoretical model adopted here is Optimality Theory (OT), which defends a representation of the structural design of grammars based upon a ranking of universal constraints. Each chapter contributes to the development of an OT-based grammar of the phonology of Mundurukú by examining new aspects of the language, and by situating them in a large-scale scenario until the OT-grammar is assembled. This result is presented in the last chapter.In search of evidence for the synchronic analysis, and for a better understanding of some uncharacteristic patterns, the study turns to the historical development of the language. Using data from Kuruaya, a sister language to Mundurukú, hypotheses about the stage that preceded both languages, Proto-Mundurukú, are made available. In recovering this stage, and the stage that preceded the modern period, it is possible to recover many of the changes the grammar has undergone and which culminated in the synchronic patterns.
Minimal contrast and the phonology-phonetics interaction

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2007

description: This dissertation investigates the role of minimal contrast in phonetic patterns and phonological phenomena. Two sounds are minimally contrastive when they differ in just one property. The main findings are that (i) minimal contrast can influence the outcome of phonetic effects and that (ii) phonological processes may single out minimally contrastive elements. A contrast-coindexing function is developed in order to mark elements that are minimally contrastive for some property. An experimental study is conducted to test the influence of minimal length contrast on the phonetic voicing effect, a pattern by which vowels are longer before voiced than before voiceless obstruents, in Lithuanian. In Lithuanian, only high and low vowels are minimally contrastive for length. Mid vowels are always long. The experimental results indicate that contextual modification of vowel duration is more limited for those vowels that are minimally contrastive for length than for those that are not. These results are argued to stem from the functional requirement to maintain distinct contrasts. The experimental results show that phonetic patterns can be sensitive to minimal contrast. Therefore, I argue that the phonological representation must include information about minimal contrast, which the phonetic component can access. I formalize this contrast with a contrast-coindexing function. Framed within Optimality Theory, contrast-coindexing applies to minimally contrastive segments capable of distinguishing pairs of words, adopting a systemic approach to contrast. Under the contrast-coindexing analysis, length contrasts are represented using the same mechanisms as for other contrasts. This approach has implications for the moraic representation of length contrasts, which fails to capture minimal length contrast.The proposal to incorporate minimal contrast into the phonological representation predicts that this kind of contrast might also be active in phonological phenomena. Evidence for this prediction is presented from vowel height harmony in Lena Asturian. In Lena, only vowels that are minimally contrastive for height can trigger harmony. The typology of vowel harmony illustrated by several varieties related to Lena lends further support to the claim that minimal contrast is active in the phonology. The contrast-coindexing proposal is extended to other phonological patterns, in which minimally contrastive elements are singled out.

description: Breast cancer affects up to 200,000 women with 40,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. Although improvements in screening mammography and early intervention have steadily contributed to reductions in incidence and mortality, fundamental limits in the performance of x-ray imaging remain a significant problem for younger women and individuals with high mammographic density. In this proposal we will develop a prototype hand-held tomographic laser breast scanner (t-LBS) that can be used in a variety of settings, ranging from hospitals to physician’s offices and remote clinics. The t-LBS employs advanced near-infrared optical technologies to form quantitative images of breast tissue composition and metabolism. Scanning is performed without compression or injection of contrast agents. The t-LBS is intended to fill the gap in the need for cost-effective, risk-free technologies for the detection and clinical management of breast cancer. Special emphasis is placed on detection and diagnosis in women with high mammographic density and on monitoring/predicting an individual’s response to chemotherapy. The t-LBS is based on a well-established laser breast scanner (LBS) platform that has been evaluated on more than 700 clinical subjects over 10 years and is now undergoing testing in an NIH-sponsored multi-center clinical trial. The current-generation LBS is a refrigerator-sized instrument with expensive components and is not a commercially-viable medical device. Over the past 2 years we have made major advances in several enabling technologies, including board-based hardware and computational algorithms, and are now in a position to build a next-generation desktop t-LBS prototype. The t-LBS will gain critical new capabilities for 3D functional imaging and visualization based on sophisticated photonic, electronic, and software technologies. The small size and low component cost will significantly reduce barriers-to-access for this new technology. By developing the t-LBS prototype in parallel with our ongoing LBS multi-center validation trial, we will mitigate many of the risks associated with matching a new technology with an appropriate market while providing a cost-effective prototype that is ideally positioned for FDA approval and commercialization.

description: Peripheral CB1 cannabinoid receptors inhibit pain initiation, but the endogenous signal that normally engages this analgesic mechanism has long remained elusive. To address this question, we have recently developed a peripherally restricted inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the enzyme responsible for the degradation of the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide. The compound, called URB937, suppresses FAAH activity and increases anandamide levels outside the central nervous system (CNS). Despite its inability to access brain and spinal cord, URB937 attenuates pain responses in rodent models of nerve injury and inflammation, and prevents noxious stimulus-evoked neuronal activation in spinal cord regions implicated in nociceptive processing. CB1 receptor blockade prevents these effects. The results indicate that anandamide-mediated signaling at peripheral CB1 receptors controls the access of pain-related inputs to the CNS, and that brain-impermeant FAAH inhibitors, which strengthen this gating mechanism, might offer a new approach to pain therapy. Notably, the effects of URB937 do not appear to be accompanied by the typical side effects produced by current drugs, including sedation (opiates) and stomach bleeding (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs). While encouraging, these data do not establish URB937 as a viable preclinical candidate for the treatment of human pain. To achieve this objective, which is critical to identify potential industry partners, we propose to conduct the following activities: (1) fully characterize the analgesic effects of URB937 in established preclinical models of human pain; (2) Compare the pharmacological efficacy and side effects of URB937 with current standards of care. (3) Characterize the pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic properties of URB937 under non-GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) conditions. (4) Determine the interactions of URB937 with unrelated targets (e.g. hERG channels) and its metabolic fate in human hepatocytes. (5) Identify an optimal formulation for use in future GLP toxicology studies and early clinical trials. These activities can be accomplished in the 1-year duration of the grant and will provide information necessary to decide whether URB937 can be moved into formal preclinical development, which will require the financial support of a private sponsor.

description: This report presents the results of a study undertaken to make a preliminary determination of whether or not the Pinelands Plan might be causing significant fiscal impacts on a selected sample of municipalities within the Pinelands area. This study is limited in that there has been only a short period of time to experience effects of the Plan, and in that it is based on an examination of the finances of only four townships. These four townships were those that experienced the largest percentage increases in tax rates or declines in ratable values in the tax years 1981 and 1982. This study, therefore, was designed to analyze only one portion of the Plan's potential economic effects: those on the finances of four municipalities that evidenced certain fiscal changes since the Plan took effect.

description: Die Red-White-Blue Bag bietet als konkreter Alltagsgegenstand, der in zahlreichen Kontexten eingesetzt wird, aber als praktikables Ding kaum diskursive Beachtung findet, einen Einblick in Themen und Konflikte, die um sie herum und nur selten durch sie hindurch verhandelt werden: Globalisierung, Migration, Transport-, Handels- und Reisenetze, Klassendimensionen, Aneignung, Umdeutung und viele mehr. Nachdem sie von Ostasien aus, insbesondere Hongkong, seit den 1960er Jahren ihren globalen Siegeszug antrat, ist sie heute weltweit verbreitet – und hat viele Namen, von denen die meisten neben dem Aspekt der Mobilität auch offenlegen, dass Migrant:innen nach wie vor als Fremde beargwöhnt und häufig prekarisiert werden. Die transnationale Migration zwischen der Republik Moldau und Deutschland ist das Thema meines Dissertationsprojekts. Die Busreisen von Arbeitsmigrant:innen zwischen beiden Ländern, in denen die Tasche immer wieder auftaucht, stellen dabei einen Einzelaspekt dar, dem ich mich durch mobiles, ethnographisches Forschen sowie objektkulturelle Zugänge nähere. Für die Akteur:innen und ihre oft fluiden Migrationspraxen ist die Tasche nicht nur ein Symbol für den Weggang, sondern auch für die Rückkehr und die Remittances, die die Arbeitsmigrant:innen nach Hause senden, und nimmt so eine Doppelrolle ein. Daneben wird sie jedoch auch von Luxusmodehäusern und lokalen Künstler:innen auf unterschiedliche Weise angeeignet, sodass über den Nutzen der Tasche hinaus Fragen zu ihrer Symbolkraft und ihrer Rolle bei der Konstruktion von Zugehörigkeiten aufgeworfen werden können. Mein Beitrag zeichnet diese verschiedenen Wege schlaglichtartig und mit dem Schwerpunkt auf den moldauisch-deutschen Fall nach und verdeutlicht so, dass in der Tasche aus kulturanthropologischer Perspektive deutlich mehr steckt als das, was sie unmittelbar enthält.

description: The harms of bottled water at Rutgers University
description: It is necessary to limit or terminate the usage of water bottles at University Campuses.  The issue of concern is that plastic bottles are not eco-friendly and are marketed as if water bottled is better than filter water or tap water. Our group’s objective is to convince Rutgers University to purchase Brita filters for all dormitory rooms. In addition, we will also demonstrate how using the eco-friendly canteen is a safer and better alternative to bottled water because you can refill and reuse it. Ultimately we want to restrict the usage of bottled water at Rutgers.

description: Pilot program for after school program at New Brunswick High School concentrated on preventing and treating childhood obesity through exercise and other activities.
description: Childhood Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States and around the world. Over the past thirty years, prevalence of obesity in children ages 12-17 has tripled from 5% to 17%.  Through a study conducted by the CDC, it has been found that 80% of obese 10-15 year olds remain obese into adulthood.  The risk factors of obesity are numerous including diabetes, sleep disorders, depression, and behavioral and learning problems.  We are proposing a pilot program that will run for six weeks in the Fall of 2010.  The goal of this after school program will be to help New Brunswick High School students live more active and healthier lives.
Relieving America's Dependency on Plastic

description: Rutgers University hopes to target the current dependence on plastic in the US through reusable containers in their dining hall Take-Out.
description: In this day and age, the United States is a global leader when it comes to medical advances, technology…and producing garbage.  America is a “throwaway economy” in the sense that consumers heavily rely upon disposable products, typically made from plastic.  The dining hall take-out service at Rutgers University epitomizes this current trend by producing a significant amount of plastic waste.  Although Rutgers does offer reusable Boomerang Boxes, students typically use disposables instead.  We propose that Dining Services should either make the Boomerang Box system mandatory, or they should instate a rewards program encouraging students to use Boomerang Boxes and reusable bags, over disposable containers and plastic bags.

Quantitative analysis of cellular signaling in HIV latency

description: Latent HIV, a pool of replication-competent virus that “hides” in host cells, is a significant barrier to complete eradication of HIV from a patient; however, the molecular basis of latency remains unknown. Using a retroviral model of the HIV-1 Tat-mediated positive feedback loop, the laboratories of Prof. David Schaffer (mentor, UC Berkeley) and Prof. Adam Arkin (collaborator, Lawrence Livermore) showed that numerous clonal populations of infected Jurkat cells with a single viral integration can either rapidly initiate viral gene expression or exhibit long periods of low gene expression analogous to a latent infection, a phenomenon referred to as phenotypic bifurcation. We hypothesize that long stochastic transcriptional and translational delays inherent in these bifurcating clones contribute to the establishment of HIV latency. I am using experimental and computational techniques to probe how key transcriptional regulators of the HIV LTR promoter influence this phenotypic bifurcation and latency. My central hypothesis is that fluctuations in transcriptional regulators within single T cells—primarily the regulators NF-kB, Sp1 and p300—lead to the activation or latency decision. This hypothesis will be tested through a set of experiments organized into two specific aims. In Specific Aim I, I will experimentally perturb the NF-kB, Sp1 and p300 environment in Jurkat cells infected with the HIV-1 retroviral model, and quantitatively measure the effect on transcription, PheB and latency. I will genetically vary the protein environment by overexpressing NF-kB p65, Sp1 and p300 with tetracycline-regulated plasmids delivered with lentiviral vectors, and (separately) inhibit expression using RNA interference. I will also measure HIV transcription directly in single Jurkat clonal cells using tandem fluorescent probes and microscopy. These experimental data will be used to build a computational model of transcription from the LTR to mathematically explain how phenotypic bifurcation (or the choice between activation and latency) is a function of the NF-kB, Sp1 and p300 cellular environment. In Specific Aim II, I will stimulate infected Jurkat cells with different T cell activators and measure the effect on phenotypic bifurcation. For a subset of activators, I will experimentally measure signaling dynamics, including protein and phosphorylation levels of the transcriptional regulators over time. I will then use these data to develop a mathematical model linking upstream signaling dynamics to nuclear levels of transcriptional regulators, and ultimately, to HIV transcription controlling active infection or latency. We hope that such a model will yield fundamental insights into HIV gene regulation, as well as serve as a platform for designing new signal transduction modulating drugs to treat latency.

description: A humane and effective approach to the feral cat overpopulation problem in New Brunswick
description: Feral cat overpopulation in the New Brunswick community is an ever increasing problem. While many may initially think the solution lies in adoption and removal of feral cats from the outside environment, this only perpetuates the problem. This Classipedia will address this issue, as well as discuss the possible remedies to this problem using the technique known as Feral Cat Colony Management. Feral cat colony management can result in the reduction of feral cat births, removal of public health concerns associated with feral cats, and dramatically lower municipal animal control costs.

description: In America, an average of 18 people die each day because of lack of available organs for transplant.  Some people are probably scared off with the myths surrounding organ donations, and others probably just don’t feel like taking the time out of their busy schedule to take a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles.  New to New Jersey, all residents now have the option to change their organ donor status online. By spreading awareness of the need for organ donors and that it takes less than five minutes to become one, we will help save countless lives. Become a donor, Save a life!

description: In today’s society, an increasing problem has been the excessive cell phone usage while driving.  It is making our roads unsafe and many people are growing up thinking it’s acceptable to text message or make a phone call while behind the wheel of a car.  The laws that were implemented in New Jersey and various other states are not putting an end to this hazardous way of life.  The new Bluetooth device is titled Keys 2 Safe Driving and will be revolutionary for the future.  It turns off the driver’s phone and puts it in a safe driving mode so phone calls and text messages can wait until the driver reaches the destination.  We have sent letters to the correspondence teams at both Verizon and Toyota to help try and standardize this new feature in car keys and cell phones.

description: Rutgers University students' volunteer initiative to reduce food, water and energy waste by eliminating trays in one campus dining hall
description: We feel as students that Rutgers University, New Brunswick should demonstrate a high level of social responsibility.  We encourage the university to examine all of it’s’ functions in order to cut down wastage when possible.  Like many other universities, Rutgers has four dining halls in which food, water and energy are being constantly wasted.  It is significant to Rutgers and the sake of the environment for the university to adopt a policy for tray-less dining halls.  Understandably, this initiative should be pilot testing and we have devised a simple strategy to go about getting this accomplished.
