description: The leading cause of breast cancer-associated death is metastasis. During metastasis, tumor cells metastasize from primary tumors to distant organs via the circulatory and lymphatic systems. However, in 80% of solid tumors, metastasis via the lymphatic system precedes metastasis via the vascular system. There is a lot of information about metastasis through the circulatory system. However, not much information is available about the tumor cell dissemination through the lymphatic system or the lymphatic microenvironment that aids in this process in breast cancer metastasis. In addition, the molecular properties of tumor cells as they exit the primary tumor into the afferent lymphatics en route to the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) are not yet known.

This project aims to determine why and how tumor cells metastasize to the lymphatic system. The proposal is based on the hypothesis that active migration is needed for tumor cells to spread via the lymphatic vessels. Thus, finding and understanding the molecules that contribute to this can be a breakthrough for breast cancer metastasis therapy.

The goals of this thesis are to 1) Examine the molecular, genetic, and proteomic characteristics of circulatory tumor cells and compare these to the primary tumor and lung metastasis, 2) Examine the role of Toll-like receptors in tumor cell migration to the lymph node, and 3) Identify the difference in protein expression among two different types of breast cancer (Triple-Negative and Luminal A) and understand their aggressive biology.

Risk Stratification for in-Hospital Complications in Patients with Takotsubo Syndrome: the Geist Score
Creators: name: SANTORO, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Foggia
Year: 2019

description: IMPORTANCE: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute reversible heart failure syndrome featured by significant rates of in-hospital complications (IHCs). There is a lack of data for risk stratification during hospitalization. OBJECTIVES: To derive a simple clinical score for risk prediction of IHCs in patients with TTS. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTECIPANTS: 1007 consecutive patients with TTS were enrolled in the GEIST (GErman and Italian STress Cardiomyopathy) registry. The score was developed using a stepwise multivariable regression analysis. The RE-TAKO (Spanish REgistry for TAKOtsubo cardiomyopathy) registry population (n=946 patients), also enrolling patients with TTS, was used for external score validation. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Four variables were identified as independent predictors of IHCs and were used for the score: male gender, history of neurological disorder, right ventricular involvement and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). GEIST prognosis score was derived providing 20 points for male gender and history of neurological disorders, 30 points for right ventricle (RV) involvement, and subtracting the value in percent of LVEF. Score accuracy at ROC curve analysis 0.71, negative predictive power 87% in case of score values <20. External validation in the RETAKO population showed an area under the curve of 0.73 (p=n.s. vs GEIST derivation cohort). RESULTS: Overall rate of IHCs in the GEIST population was 23% % (death 4%, pulmonary edema 6%, invasive ventilation 6%, cardiogenic shock 9%). Stratification into 3 risk groups (<20 vs 20-40 and >40 points) classified 41% of patients as at low risk, 44% as intermediate, and 15% as high risk. The observed IHC rates were 13%, 24% and 59%, respectively (p for trend <0.001). After 2.6 years follow-up patients with IHCs showed higher rates of mortality (40% vs 10%, p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: the GEIST prognostic score, a simple tool based on four variables, may be useful in early risk stratification of TTS. High-risk TTS patients may require intensive care unit stay, meanwhile low risk TTS could be discharged within few days. IHCs in TTS patients may be associated with increased risk of mortality at long-term follow-up.

LEARN TO LISTEN: ASSESSING THE EFFICACY OF AN EATING DISORDER COMMUNICATION INTERVENTION AMONG ADOLESCENTS
Creators: name: Shields, Ashleigh N

Public health not elsewhere classified

description: Listening (Janusik, 2002; Miller, 2018; Wolvin & Coakley, 1996) and eating disorders (EDs; National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCFED), 2018) are often not taught within schools, especially among adolescents. To address this, a school-based brief motivational interviewing (MI) intervention on listening when talking about EDs was created, implemented, and evaluated among adolescents (n = 260) from two middle schools within the Midwestern part of the United States. Specifically, School 1 (n = 100), and School 2 (n = 160) and three teachers (i.e., Teacher 1, Teacher 2, Teacher 3) allowed the researcher to present and collect data. In other words, three total teachers between the two schools, and one teacher, Teacher 1 (n = 100), was from School 1, and the other two teachers, Teacher 2 (n = 120) and Teacher 3 (n = 40) were from School 2. Participants were randomly placed into either the 1) the EDs listening intervention (education-plus) with an MI component (n = 6 classes) or 2) an education-plus Q&A intervention (n = 7 classes). All the participants were involved in the guest lecture and the pre-test and post-test survey, but data was only saved and analyzed from participants that had guardians/parents who consented (n = 75). The methodology for this dissertation project was a 2 (pre/post, unmatched) X 2 (condition) subject’s design. This dissertation project had two independent variables: (1) experimental condition (e.g., education plus MI and education plus Q&A), and (2) time (e.g., pre and post). This dissertation project had five dependent variables: (1) knowledge of listening, (2) knowledge of EDs, (3) listening self-efficacy, (4) knowledge of OARS, and (5) knowledge of the righting reflex. This dissertation project also had the random factor of schools (e.g., School 1 (A) and School 2 (B), and the fixed factor of gender identity (e.g., male and female). The results revealed a promise of efficacy and increased knowledge regarding EDs and aspects of listening, specifically through MI (e.g., OARS). Other areas of knowledge improved but not significantly. In other words, there were no significant differences in knowledge gains between MI and Q&A, but MI compared to Q&A showed a more extensive influence on self-efficacy. The main limitation of this study was the limited guardian/parental consent, resulting in a small sample size.

description: In contrast to traditional steel and aluminum, short fiber reinforced polymer composites (SFRCs) provide promising alternatives in material selection for automotive and aerospace applications due to their potential to decrease weight while maintaining excellent mechanical properties. However, uncertainties about the influence of complex microstructures and defects on mechanical response have prevented widespread adoption of material models forSFRCs. In order to build confidence in models’ predictions requires deepened insight into the heterogenous damage mechanisms. Therefore, this research takes a micro-mechanics standpoint of assessing the damage behavior of SFRCs, particularly micro-void nucleation at the fiber tips, by passing information of microstructural attributes within neighborhoods of incipient damage and non-damage sites, into a framework that establishes correlations between the microstructural information and damage. To achieve this, in-situ x-ray tomography of the gauge sections of two cylindrical injection molded dog-bone specimens, composed of E-glass fibers in a polypropylene matrix, was conducted while the specimens were monotonically loaded until failure. This was followed by (i) the development of microstructural characterization frameworks for segmenting fiber and porosity features in 3D images, (ii) the development of a digital volume correlation informed damage detection framework that confines search spaces of potential damage sites, and (iii) the use of a Gaussian process classification framework to explore the dependency of micro-void nucleation on neighboring microstructural defects by ranking each of their contributions. Specifically, the analysis considered microstructural metrics related to the closest fiber, the closest pore, and the local stiffness, and the results demonstrated that less stiff resin rich areas were more relevant for micro-void nucleation than clustered fiber tips, T-intersections of fibers, or varying porosity volumes. This analysis provides a ranking of microstructural metrics that induce microvoid nucleation, which can be helpful for modelers to validate their predictions on proclivity of damage initiation in the presence of wide distributions of microstructural features andmanufacturing defects.

description: The research uses cameras mounted to a vehicle to capture geotagged images while conducting a transect survey. The images from two capture dates were manually classified into different classes of previous crop, tillage systems, residue cover, and cover crop utilization. The raw data was compared against the Indiana Cropland Transect Survey and the USDA-NASS Cropland Data Layer. The symmetric Kullback-Liebler divergence method was used to compared the distributions looking for similarities.
The manually classified data was then used to build satellite segmentation models using artificial neural networks , decision trees, k nearest neighbors, random forests, and support vector machine methods. The models were compared using overall accuracy, kappa coefficient, specificity, sensitivity, positive prediction value, and negative prediction value. The best model for each category of previous crop, tillage system, residue cover, and cover crop was used to segment a Sentenial-2 imagery downloaded from Copernicus Open Access hub. The results of the segment were compared by looking at the agreement at individual pixel locations from the segmented raster to the manually classified data and the Indiana Cropland Transect Survey.
Finally, all the images captured were used to being the development of a automated image classifier using nested convolutional neural networks (CNN). A small set of images was used to build the CNN. That model when then make prediction on new unclassified images. The predictions were manually checked. The check images were used to the to build the training and validation pools for the models. The first network divided the images into field or not field.The second branch was field images divided in to images containing green growing plants of brown dead plants or residues. The final branch was determining the amount of surface cover left on a field. The results from each run of the training process were saved and used to assess model performance looking at accuracy and loss.

description: As the most used dosage form in the world, tablets are widely used for the mass production of drugs. The disintegration and dissolution kinetics of tablets play a vital role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs. It is also critical for evaluating the quality of drug formulations. This thesis reports a modeling and simulation approach of tablet disintegration and dissolution processes in a dissolution test device. By coupling the lattice Boltzmann method with the discrete element method, we simulate the hydrodynamics as well as the particle dynamics in the dissolution test device. Our computational methods could model the tablet structure,disintegration of the tablet in the dissolution device, and dissolution of particles under the influence of hydrodynamics. The simulation results show that our computational methods can reproduce experimental results. Our methods pave the path toward an in-silico platform for tablet formulation design and verification.

description: Online sexual solicitors are individuals who deceptively earn the trust of minors online with the goal of eventual sexual gratification. Despite the prevalence of online solicitation, conversations in the domain are difficult to acquire due to the sensitive nature of the data. As a result, researchers studying online solicitors often study conversations between solicitors and decoys which are publicly available online. However, researchers have begun to believe such conversations are not representative of solicitor-victim conversations. Decoys and law enforcement are restricted in that they are unable to initiate contact, suggest meeting, or begin sexual conversations with an offender. Additionally decoys and law enforcement officers both have a goal of gathering evidence which means they often respond positively in contexts which would normally be considered awkward or inappropriate. Multiple researchers have suggested differences may exist between offender-victim and offender-decoy conversations and yet little research has sought to identify the differences and similarities between those talking to solicitors. In this study, the author identifies differences between decoys, officers, and victims within the manipulative process used by online solicitors to entrap victims which is known as grooming. The author looks at differences which occur within grooming stages and strategies within the grooming stages. The research in this study has implications for the data choices of future researchers in this domain. Additionally, this research may be used to inform the training process of officers who will engage in online sex stings.

Essays on fiscal rules
Creators: name: Felli, Chiara
Publisher: name: Luiss Guido Carli
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation discusses the design of optimal _scal rules in a dynamic setting in which national governments with quasi-hyperbolic preferences are subject to privately observed idiosyncratic shocks. In this context, fiscal rules aim at striking a balance between exibility to react to shocks, and
 commitment to avoid excessive government spending. Chapter 1 derives and compares optimal rules in two di_erent environments: one in which a supranational authority is allowed to transfer resources across countries (i.e., a fiscal union) and one in which transfers are forbidden. I find that optimal fiscal rules can be implemented as de_cit limits and are complemented with a combination of grants and loans in a fiscal union. All instruments are debt-contingent: higher public debt contemporaneously tightens de_cit limits and reduces the entity of both transfers and credits. The chapter includes a calibration of the model using EU data. In Chapter 2, which is joint work with Facundo Piguillem, we study the effect of stochastic government turnover on fiscal rules' design. The model decomposes governments' present-bias in di_erent components: the fundamental political friction - captured by hyperbolic discounting; the overall uncertainty in the economy; and the relative relevance of political turnover versus business cycle uctuations. Fiscal rules, both in a national and in a supranational setting, are found to be stricter when insurance needs are low, the present bias is high and government turnover is frequent. Chapter 3, which is joint work with Facundo Piguillem and Liyan Shi, analyzes the role of sovereign default in the design of fiscal rules. We build a continuous-time model and derive the optimal fiscal rules, which tun out to be debt-dependent only when default is possible. Depending on the severity of the spending bias and the cost of default, optimal fiscal rules range from strict debt limits - complemented by strong de_cit limits - to the absence of all rules. In intermediate cases, debtdependent de_cit limits must be complemented with default rules, with some areas where default is prohibited and others where default is mandatory.

description: Photoconductive Semiconductor Switches (PCSS) are metal-semiconductor-metal devices used to switch an electrical signal through photoconduction. Rapidly switched PCSS under high bias voltages have shown remarkable potential for high power electronic and electromagnetic wave generation, but are dependent on precise optoelectronic material parameters such as defect ionization energy and optical absorption. These properties can be measured but are difficult to attribute definitively to specific defects and materials without the aid of high-accuracy, predictive modeling and simulation. This work combines well-established methods for first principles electronic structure calculations such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) with novel modern approaches such as Local Moment Counter Charge (LMCC) boundary conditions to adequately describe charge states and Maximally Localized Wannier Functions (MLWF) to render the summation of optical excitation paths as computationally tractable. This approach is demonstrated to overcome previous barriers to obtaining reliable qualitative or quantitative results, such as DFT band gap narrowing and the prohibitive computational cost of coupled electron-phonon processes. This work contributes electronic structure calculations of 4H-SiC doped with first-row transition metals (V through Ni) that are consistent with prior published work where applicable and add new possibilities for prospective semi-insulating metal-semiconductor systems where investigating new dopant possibilities. The results indicate a spectrum of highly localized, mid-gap, spin-dependent defect energy levels which suggest a wider range of potential amphoteric dopants suitable for producing semi-insulating material. Additionally, this work contributes MLWF-based calculations of phonon-resolved optical properties in 3C and 4H-SiC, indirect gap semiconductors, which accurately produce the expected onset of optical absorption informed by experiment. These results were further expanded upon with small V-doped cells of 4H-SiC, which while not fully converged in terms of cell size still provided a qualitative point of comparison to the ground state results for determining the true optical excitation energy required for substantial photoconductivity. The subsequent speculative analysis suggests the importance of anisotropic absorption and alternative metal defects for optimizing high current optoelectronic devices such as PCSS.

description: This dissertation applies Paul Ricœur’s theory of narrative identity to Chaucer’s poetry. The idea of a narrative subjectivity addresses gaps and synthesizes key movements in Chaucer studies, engaging with key scholars such as George Lyman Kittridge, Carolyn Dinshaw, A.C. Spearing, and Mary Carruthers. Using Ricœur’s hermeneutic phenomenology, the chapters articulate how narrative is necessary to the construction and expression of both individual and collective identity and experience. Each chapter focuses on a key element of Ricœur’s narrative hermeneutic phenomenology and how that modality of narrative is used to construct a particular kind of identity. I argue for a self-in-relation: the self as constituted through relations to others, or intersubjectively, which is expressed in and as narrative. Ricœur’s hermeneutic distills several of Chaucer’s key interests: time, history, fictionality, and poetics; selfhood and alterity; the significance of language and of fidelity to one’s word; and agency, passivity, and suffering. By applying that heremeneutic, we can consider the extent to which Chaucer’s poetry may use narrative to represent or resolve those interests and their connection to identity. Chapter 1 explores the identity construction of three Chaucerian women by identifying patterns of yielding discursive authority that either subvert or redirect narrative structures of masculine authority. I argue that women like Criseyde have more control over their own lives and a more positive subject-position than previously recognized. In Chapter 2, I argue that racialized narratives shared by the Canterbury pilgrims structure their community by defining what kind of identity is acceptable—in this case, a white Christian identity, shared by all the pilgrims, that reproduces a Western hegemonic whiteness. In chapter 3, I argue that in Chaucer’s talking-animal poetry, the recognition and response that narrative facilitates results in an ethic of care that is invested in principles of solicitude and friendship. In Chapter 4, I argue that Chaucer’s dream visions represent narratives of poetic subjectivity that are embedded in issues of memory and sociality that take shape in and as space. Finally, in conclusion I tie these arguments back to a question asked of the fictional representation of Chaucer himself: Who are you? This question animates much of Chaucer’s poetry and I have endeavored to show how Chaucer answers that question with and in narrative.

Subjects: Agronomy

description: Phytophthora root and stem rot is the most destructive soybean soil-borne disease worldwide and can be managed using soybean cultivars with genes conferring resistance to Phytophthora sojae. Here we show that soybean Rps11 is an ~27-kb nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene that confers broad-spectrum resistance to the pathogen. This giant gene is located in a genomic region containing 12 unusually large NLR genes of a single origin and was formed by rounds of intergenic/intragenic unequal recombination that involves the promoter regions and the LRR regions. Comparison of the genomic region in the Rps11 donor line with its corresponding regions in 29 diverse soybean genomes revealed drastic regional diversification including NLR copy number variation ranging from 5 to 23, and absence of allelic copy of Rps11 in all 29 genomes. This study highlights innovative evolution and complexity of an NLR cluster and enables precise selection of Rps11 for cultivar improvement.

THE ROLE OF TGF-B ACTIVATED KINASE (TAK1) IN RETINAL DEVELOPMENT AND INFLAMMATION

Evolution of developmental systems

description: Transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a hub kinase at the convergence of multiple signaling pathways, is critical to the development of the central nervous system and has been found to play a role in cell death and apoptosis. TAK1 may have the potential to elucidate mechanisms of cell cycle and neurodegeneration. The Belecky-Adams laboratory has aimed to study TAK1 and its potential roles in cell cycle by studying its role in chick retinal development as well as its possible implication in the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Chapter 3 includes studies that explore TAK1 in a study in chick retinal development and TAK1 in in vitro studies in retinal microglia. Using the embryonic chick, immunohistochemistry for the activated form of TAK1 (pTAK1) showed localization of pTAK1 in differentiated and progenitor cells of the retina. Using an inhibitor or TAK1 activite, (5Z)-7-Oxozeaenol, in chick eye development showed an increase in progenitor cells and a decrease in differentiated cells. This study in chick suggests TAK1 may be a critical player in the regulation of the cell cycle during retinal development. Results from experimentation in chick led to studying the potential role of TAK1 in inflammation and neurodegeneration. TAK1 has previously been implicated in cell death and apoptosis suggesting that TAK1 may be a critical player in inflammatory pathways. TAK1 has been implicated in the regulation of inflammatory factors in different parts of the CNS but has not yet been studied specifically in retina or in specific retinal cells [3, 4]. Chapter 2 includes studies from the Belecky-Adams laboratory of in vitro work with retinal microglia. Retinal microglia were treated with activators and the translocation to the nucleus of a downstream factor of TAK1 was determined: NF-kB. Treatment of retinal microglia in the presence of activators with TAKinib, an inhibitor of TAK1 activation, revealed that TAK1 inhibition reduces the activation of downstream NF-kB. Together this data suggests that TAK1 may be implicated in various systems of the body and further studies on its mechanisms may help elucidate potential therapeutic roles of the kinase.

description: Quantum information systems are on a path to vastly exceed the complexity of any classical device. The number of entangled qubits in quantum devices is rapidly increasing, and the information required to fully describe these systems scales exponentially with qubit number. This scaling is the key benefit of quantum systems, however it also presents a severe challenge. To characterize such systems typically requires an exponentially long sequence of different measurements, becoming highly resource demanding for large numbers of qubits. Here we propose and demonstrate a novel and scalable method for characterizing quantum systems based on expanding a multi-photon state to larger dimensionality. We establish that the complexity of this new measurement technique only scales linearly with the number of qubits, while providing a tomographically complete set of data without a need for reconfigurability. We experimentally demonstrate an integrated photonic chip capable of measuring two- and three-photon quantum states with statistical reconstruction fidelity of 99.71%.
