description: Psoriasis is an inflammatory, immune-mediated disease with chronic and recurrent evolution. It results from the interaction between genetic predisposition and endogenous and/or exogenous triggering factors, with an imbalance in the predominantly autoimmune immune response. In guttate psoriasis, which is more prevalent in children and young adults, the association with pharyngitis and/or tonsillitis by group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus is frequent, and the antigens will trigger the immune-mediated response in a field of greater genetic susceptibility, as evidenced by the association with the HLA-cw6 allele. Classical clinical findings include the sudden onset of numerous small papules and erythematous, desquamative plaques, usually located on the trunk, tear drop-like, or often described as droplet psoriasis. In the literature, patients with guttate psoriasis have been reported to develop plaque psoriasis. We describe the case of a 17-year-old girl with a recent history of acute streptococcal tonsillitis who had recourse to the Emergency Department for erythematous, scaly and pruritic micro-papillary lesions initially located in the palms of the hands and later dispersed in the trunk, abdomen and limbs, with appearance of erythematous and scaly plaques on the elbows. No fever. No family history of psoriasis. There were no other changes in physical examination. Based on the hypothesis of guttate psoriasis, he underwent a skin biopsy that corroborated the diagnosis. He started topical treatment, with vitamin D derivative and topical corticosteroid, and phototherapy (ultraviolet B) with favorable evolution. Maintained follow-up in Consultation with evolutionary surveillance for chronicity, namely in the form of plaque psoriasis. Keywords: Guttate Psoriasis, Streptococcal Infections, Teenager

description: The present study is chiefly directed to the way in which birders perceive and evaluate birdsong and how they behave towards it, including in certain rituals in which birdsong contests play an important part. The tradition of songbird competitions as a living cultural heritage is well exemplified by the long tradition of the Finkerei in the Harz region, Germany. In the Harz song contests, I argue, birdsongs are far from “naturalistic”. They are “sonic things” that emerge from sophisticated training and experimentation, ritualistic rules, practices of competition, and the judging of birdsongs. In short, they are a deliberately sought outcome. This approach to the Harz contests places the finch song within the concept of a cultural product of an intangible nature. The present paper results from years of participatory observation. From an anthropological perspective, the basic interest behind my research explores how humans, in certain times and places, behave when perceiving music, being exposed to, shaping and evaluating its parameters. In relation to experiences with songbirds the main questions are: what is biological, what is individually learned, what is a social consensus, and what is universal in human musical behaviour?

Note. Ohaus (1913: 506) describes Pelidnota cribrata based on three specimens from French Guiana and the Brazilian state of Pará. However, Soula (2008: 37) notes that the two specimens from French Guiana actually belong to another species, which he describes as P. touroulti. Moore et al. (2017: 179) mention this action but, for reasons unknown to us, base their inclusion of French Guiana in the distribution of P. cribrata on these same two specimens. Because it is not known from which part of the state of Pará the only remaining known specimen of P. cribrata is, we consider it more likely that it originates from the larger part of the state south of the Amazon than from the smaller part north of it. From this it follows that the species is not known from the research area.

description: In a recent pre-print, Ciubotaru and Trapa defi ned a family of exact functors carrying spherical Harish-Chandra modules for real classical linear algebraic groups to representations of a certain algebra called the graded affine Hecke algebra. Representations of this  algebra can then be translated, thanks to results of Lusztig, Barbasch, and Moy, into representations of a p-adic group of the same type as the original real group. The result, in eff ect, is a Lefschetz functor for real classical linear algebraic groups; it also embeds the  spherical unitary dual for the real group into the spherical unitary dual for the p-adic group.  This thesis develops an analagous functor for genuine representations of the real and p-adic  metaplectic groups.

The evaluation of erythrocyte and platelet engraftment in peripheral blood following bone marrow transplants in mice

description: Hematopoietic stem cell and progenitor populations (HSPG) within the bone marrow compartment consist of multiple groups of cell that vary in function when transplanted.  The subsets of HSPG are beginning to be separated to define their engraftment characteristics, with the aim to improve current transplant management for patients with malignant disease.  In this study, methods were developed to identify hemoglobin (Hbb) and glucose phosphate isomerase (Gpi) allelic variants in lysates of mouse peripheral blood cells, in order to facilitate evaluation of erythrocyte and platelet engraftment after bone marrow transplantation.  The long-term repopulation assay (LTRA) was then used to demonstrate the efficacy of these techniques to distinguish donor-derived engraftment of bone marrow transplanted into lethally irradiated mice.  Donor-derived Hbb[d] isoforms in recipient hemolysates, when pretreated with a cystamine lysing agent, could be separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, then stained and quantitated by densitometric analysis.  A detection limit of 5% was established when mixtures to known hemolysates were assayed.  As a second approach, transplant hemolysates were evaluated by HPLC.  This cost-effective assay was demonstrated to have a direct correlation with the electrophoresis assay (r=0.998).  Agarose gel electrophoresis and a specific stain for Gpi distinguished the platelet variants, Gpi-1a and Gpi-1b, with a limit of detection corresponding to 100,000 total platelets.  Two contamination assays were performed to evaluate the contribution of residual leukocytes and erythrocytes in platelet preparations to the platelet Gpi signals.  The results indicated that the separation protocol utilized in these studies was sufficient to exclude contaminating leukocytes and erythrocytes from platelet preparations.  Platelets were also stained with monoclonal antibodies detecting allelic variants of Ly5 and analyzed by flow cytometry to detect post-transplant chimerism.  The absence of fluorescence indicated a down-regulation of Ly5 during platelet maturation precluding the use of this method.  The techniques developed in this project successfully measured erythrocyte and platelet engraftment kinetics using the LTRA.  One million transplanted morrow cells repopulated lethally irradiated mice with multi-lineage progeny and sustained donor-derived hematopoiesis was observed one year post-transplant.  In conclusion, the assays developed in this study can successfully evaluate erythrocyte and platelet repopulation of transplanted HSPG in mouse models.  Defining HSPG will establish a better understanding of bone marrow transplantation in humans.

description: Research presented in this thesis stems from rising concern about blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI). It has been hypothesized that brain tissue is damaged by the blast wave generated during an explosion, but the mechanism of tissue injury is unknown. The pressure wave produced by a typical explosion includes a peak pressure, or overpressure, and positive and negative pressure phases; each component of this blast wave may make a unique contribution to injury. A simple device called a shock tube is capable of generating the characteristics associated with the blast wave. This thesis presents a computational model of a shock tube being used in our laboratory to investigate the above-mentioned characteristics of the blast wave. The shock tube is approximately 135 cm long and has a 2.54 cm inner diameter. This research has two primary objectives. The first is to characterize blast wave properties as a function of shock tube independent parameters. In our shock tube, the independent parameters are driver section length and initial pressure. Because the purpose of this research is to study injury due to pressure wave loading alone, the target is placed outside the tube to avoid interaction with venting gases. Quantifying the appropriate region for testing is the second main objective of this research.

description: Dataflow pipeline models are widely used in visualization systems. Despite recent advancements in parallel architecture, most systems still support only a single CPU or a small collection of CPUs such as a SMP workstation. Even for systems that are specifically tuned towards parallel visualization, their execution models only provide support for data-parallelism while ignoring taskparallelism and pipeline-parallelism. With the recent popularization of machines equipped with multicore CPUs and multi-GPU units, these visualization systems are undoubtedly falling further behind in reaching maximum efficiency.  On the other hand, there exist several libraries that can schedule program executions on multiple CPUs and/or multiple GPUs. However, due to differences in executing a task graph and a pipeline along with their APIs being considerably low-level, it still remains a challenge to integrate these run-time libraries into current visualization systems.  Thus, there is a need for a redesigned dataflow architecture to fully support and exploit the power  of highly parallel machines in large-scale visualization. The new design must be able to schedule executions on heterogeneous platforms while at the same time supporting arbitrarily large datasets through the use of streaming data structures.  The primary goal of this dissertation work is to develop a parallel dataflow architecture for streaming large-scale visualizations. The framework includes supports for platforms ranging from multicore processors to clusters consisting of thousands CPUs and GPUs. We achieve this in our system by introducing the notion of Virtual Processing Elements and Task-Oriented Modules along  with a highly customizable scheduler that controls the assignment of tasks to elements dynamically.  This creates an intuitive way to maintain multiple CPU/GPU kernels yet still provide coherency and  synchronization across module executions. We have implemented these techniques into HyperFlow which is made of an API with all basic dataflow constructs described in the dissertation, and a distributed run-time library that can be used to deploy those pipelines on multicore, multi-GPU and cluster-based platforms.

description: An approach for cancer treatment is modulation of tumor microenvironment. Based on the role of extracellular matrix in cell modulation, fabrication of textured materials mimicking extracellular matrix could provide novel opportunities such as determining cancer cell behaviour. With this background, in this work, we have fabricated doxorubicin hydrochloride loaded nanotextured films which promote topographical attachment of cancer cells to film surface, and eliminate cells by release of the anti-cancer drug encapsulated within the films. These films are designed to be placed during surgical removal of the tumor with the intent to prevent ovarian cancer recurrence by capturing cancer cell residuals. With this aim, hemispherical protrusion shaped surface textures were acquired using colloidal lithography technique using 280 nm, 210 nm or 99 nm polystyrene particles. Once moulds were formed, nanotextured films were obtained by casting water-in-oil stable polycaprolactone emulsions encapsulating doxorubicin hydrochloride. Films were then characterized, and evaluated as drug delivery systems. According to results, we found that template morphologies were successfully transferred to films by atomic force microscopy studies. Hydrophilic surfaces were formed with contact angle values around 40°. In-vitro drug release studies indicated that nanotextured films best fit into the Higuchi model, and ∼30% of the drug is released from the films within 60 days. Cell culture results indicated increases in the attachment and viability of human ovarian cancer cells to nanotextured surfaces, particularly to the film fabricated using 99 nm particles. Our results demonstrated that delivery of anti-cancer drugs by use of nanotextured materials could be efficient in cancer therapy, and may offer new possibilities for cancer treatment.

Cefurooxine60%, Ampicillin 70% Ciproxin 8%. Other isolates such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes,Streptococcus feacalis exhibited a resistance rate of 91%, 66% and 100% against penicillin respectively.The highest percentage resistance of E. coli recorded against cefuroxime and ampicillin was 33% and30% respectively. The prevention of postoperative sepsis in general and Pseudomonas wound sepsis inparticular is a complex one. Every facet of activities in the operation process constitutes part of theinfection control. Therefore a high level of aseptic discipline by theatre staff is required. The quality anduse of disinfectants are imperative. A prospective record of al infection in the hospital will go a long wayin providing the information and recorded for strict self-assessment.
Discrete frontal propagation over the Sierra-Cascade mountains and western Great Basin

description: On 25 Mar 2006, a complex frontal system moved rapidly across the Sierra-  Cascade Mountains and intensified over the Great Basin where it produced one of the  strongest cold-frontal passages observed in Salt Lake City, UT during the past 25 y.  Observational analyses and numerical simulations by the Weather Research and Forecast  (WRF) model illustrate that the frontal system propagated discretely across the Sierra-  Cascade Mountains and western Great Basin. This discrete propagation occurs in a  synoptic environment that features a low-level baroclinic zone that extends across  northern California and Nevada in advance of a broad upper-level trough. The eastward  movement of a cyclonic potential vorticity (PV) anomaly into the upper-level trough  initiates Pacific cyclogenesis and the formation of an occluded front in the polar airmass  rearward of the low-level baroclinic zone. Continued eastward migration of the upperlevel  cyclonic PV anomaly then encourages the formation of an intense cold front ahead  of the landfalling occlusion and along the pre-existing low-level baroclinic zone over  northern Nevada. This new cold front forms in a region of confluence to the lee of the  Sierra Nevada and becomes the dominant surface front of the system.  Characteristics of the event are similar to that described in previous studies of  front-mountain interactions, but the roles of the non-uniform large-scale environment and  three-dimensional topography appear to be unique to the case and region. Although  convective precipitation is observed and likely helps sharpen the cold front, diabatic  effects associated with moist processes are not necessary for the discrete propagation. Given the difficulties of identifying and tracking surface fronts over the Great Basin,  forecasters should consider the possibility of discrete frontal propagation in similar  synoptic situations.

description: Development practice in conflicted countries is conceptualized and carried out upon a shaky economic theoretical foundation. These theories were built upon research conducted on the development of European nations. This has led to a focus in the development community on investment led growth models, which state that large and small scale government grants can be targeted to touch off latent engines of economic growth. In this thesis I contest that model drawing from counterinsurgency (COIN) examples in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrating how such investments can be a source of instability through increased incentives for rent seeking behavior as well as direct theft. I propose a better focus would be to investigate and improve what I call commitment regimes: the methods whereby commitments are made and enforced in a society, be it through religious, tribal, regulatory or violent means. As these regimes are improved, reducing transactions cost and increasing stability, more investment will be made in society as returns become more certain.

description: The indium-gallium-nitride on gallium-nitride (InGaN/GaN) materials system is a promising candidate for providing a high intensity, high efficiency solution to the yet unsolved problem of solid state lighting in the range of 550 to 590 nm, a.k.a the Green Gap. The bandgap of InGaN/GaN spans the visual spectrum, making it tunable for emission at any wavelength. The lattice constant mismatch and resulting strain at the  heterojunction induces a miscibility gap that enables spontaneous self-assembly of indium-rich nm-scale islands during Stranski-Krastanov growth of the InGaN active layer of the Light Emitting Diode (LED). These islands serve as quantum discs, confining excitons, and increasing internal quantum efficiency. InGaN/GaN/Al2O3 samples from Cao Group Inc. were interrupted after the InGaN growth step of the Organometallic  Vapor-Phase Epitaxy (OMVPE) process and analyzed using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy (HRSEM), Transmission  Electron Microscopy (TEM), Raman, and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. Results show inhomogeneities in light emission and structure as well as conductivity.Coherence, strain, and the presence of indium were all confirmed through TEM and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Islands (3-10nm in height) and pits (1-4nm deep) cluster in patches with a marbled pattern. Islands tend to be found most predominantly at the edges or the bottom of pits, suggesting indium-rich island growth is preferred along the edges of structures of high surface area, where strain from lattice mismatch is most compensated by surface area. Despite coherence, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) reciprocal space patterns show lattice spacing and possibly the crystal structure type itself differ between island and subisland areas. The difference between island emission energy and the energy required to excite carriers is greater than expected. PL peak energy and Raman shift frequency test results were used to estimate island indium composition. Polarization of emission was observed, though was unexpected due to the InGaN having been grown on c-plane GaN which should result in isotropic biaxial strain and a valence band configuration that does not lend to bifurcating probabilities of polarization. Near-Field PL testing was performed, also with unexpected results.

description: In a prospective study carried out between January and June, 2001 in the university college hospital(UCH), Ibadan, 300 postoperative wounds samples were taken from patients admitted in gynaecology,surgery and paediatric wards and were examined using standard bacteriological techniques, 248 (82%)were infected. Out f the 310 isolates obtained, 66 (19%) were positive of Pseudomonas aeruginosaamong other pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus 120 (36%), Klebsiella pneumonia 16 (13%), E. coli26 (7%) infections were the most prevalent antibiotic susceptibility of P. aeruginosa selected toantimicrobial agents were azythromycin 42%,Ofloxacin 30%, Gentamicin 20%, Celistin 4%. Cefurooxine60%, Ampicillin 70% Ciproxin 8%. Other isolates such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes,Streptococcus feacalis exhibited a resistance rate of 91%, 66% and 100% against penicillin respectively.The highest percentage resistance of E. coli recorded against cefuroxime and ampicillin was 33% and30% respectively. The prevention of postoperative sepsis in general and Pseudomonas wound sepsis inparticular is a complex one. Every facet of activities in the operation process constitutes part of theinfection control. Therefore a high level of aseptic discipline by theatre staff is required. The quality anduse of disinfectants are imperative. A prospective record of al infection in the hospital will go a long wayin providing the information and recorded for strict self-assessment.

description: Almost all high performance computing applications are written in MPI, which will continue to be the case for at least the next several years. Given the huge and growing  importance of MPI, and the size and sophistication of MPI codes, scalable and incisive MPI debugging tools are essential. Existing MPI debugging tools have, despite their  strengths, many glaring de ficiencies, especially when it comes to debugging under the presence of nondeterminism related bugs, which are bugs that do not always show up during testing. These bugs usually become manifest when the systems are ported to  di fferent platforms for production runs.  This dissertation focuses on the problem of developing scalable dynamic verifi cation tools for MPI programs that can provide a coverage guarantee over the space of MPI  nondeterminism. That is, the tools should be able to detect diff erent outcomes of nondeterministic events in an MPI program and enforce all those di fferent outcomes  through repeated executions of the program with the same test harness.  We propose to achieve the coverage guarantee by introducing efficient distributed causality tracking protocols that are based on the matches-before order. The matches-before order is introduced to address the shortcomings of the Lamport happens-before  order [40], which is not sufficient to capture causality for MPI program executions due to the complexity of the MPI semantics. The two protocols we propose are the Lazy Lamport Clocks Protocol (LLCP) and the Lazy Vector Clocks Protocol (LVCP). LLCP provides  good scalability with a small possibility of missing potential outcomes of nondeterministic events while LVCP provides full coverage guarantee with a scalability tradeoff . In practice, we show through our experiments that LLCP provides the same coverage as LVCP.  This thesis makes the following contributions:  •The MPI matches-before order that captures the causality between MPI events in an MPI execution.  • Two distributed causality tracking protocols for MPI programs that rely on the matches-before order.  • A Distributed Analyzer for MPI programs (DAMPI), which implements the two aforementioned protocols to provide scalable and modular dynamic verifi cation for  MPI programs.  • Scalability enhancement through algorithmic improvements for ISP, a dynamic verifi er for MPI programs.

description: Michelia macclurei Dandy is a valuable plantation species, and its wood is employed extensively in buildings and furniture. In this study, the radial variations in density, crystallinity index and microfibril angle were investigated via XRD and near-infrared spectroscopy. Models were constructed in order to predict the crystallinity and microfibril angle of Michelia macclurei wood. The density and crystallinity exhibited a gradual increase from the pith to the bark, while the microfibril angle demonstrated a gradual decrease. For the collected near-infrared spectrum, “MSC + 1st in the 780-1500 nm spectral range” and “MSC in the spectral range of 780-2500 nm spectral range” were identified as the optimal preprocessing methods for crystallinity and microfibril angle. The correlation coefficients of the crystallinity and microfibril angle calibration models were 0.91 and 0.95, respectively, while the correlation coefficients of the prediction models were 0.91 and 0.98, respectively. The model established in this study allows for rapid and non-destructive prediction of the crystallinity and microfibril angle of Michelia macclurei wood. The findings from this study provide valuable and detailed scientific data that can contribute to the study and prediction of wood properties.

Thesis and dissertation georeferencing project

description: The primary purpose of this investigation was the mapping of the northern part of the Mineral Range on a scale of approximately 1:20,000, and the preparation of a report on the structure, stratigraphy, igneous and metamorphic rocks which are present.  An attempt has also been made to reconstruct the geologic history of the area.  The geology of the Northern Mineral Range, as it will be referred to in this report, is complex.  This is chiefly because: (1) almost all of the sedimentary rocks in the area probably belong to the same stratigraphic system and were found to be, in general, unfossiliferous; (2) the area lies within a belt of thrusting; (3) the Northern Mineral Range has been the site of igneous activity on a relatively large scale; and (4) normal faults and local areas of metamorphism are abundant.  As a result, conclusive geologic evidence as to the age and complete nature of some tectonic  features has not been discovered by the writer.  This has necessitated, in certain instances, the formulation of hypotheses rather than definite conclusions.  The rocks are described with regard to: (1) general physiographic expression and position; (2) petrologic and petrographic characteristics; (3) age and correlation; (4) origin; (5) relation to other rocks; and (6) alteration.  This investigation does not represent the final word on the geology of the Northern Mineral Range.  Much research remains to be done, and as will be shown later, several interesting field and laboratory problems are available for academic study.
