Identification of molecuar interactions between synthetic dyes and food macromolecules by fluorescence spectroscopy
Creators: name: Qu, Ziqian
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Recent studies have demonstrated that in glycerol, glycerol-water, mono and disaccharide solutions, the fluorescence emission intensity of GRAS synthetic colors exhibits a strong sensitivity to the physical properties of the medium, for example, as the viscosity increases, the fluorescence intensity increases. Although molecular mass, structure and intrinsic rigidity of the macromolecule might play a role in probe sensitivity in physical properties of the system, other aspects such as molecular interactions between the probe and the macromolecule may explain these behaviors, such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, etc. The nature of the effect of macromolecules on the dye molecules are to be identified by fluorescence spectroscopy.  The fluorescence emission intensity was measured by titrating five carbohydrates (alginate, amylopectin, carboxymethyl cellulose, chitosan and methylcellulose) and five proteins (gelatin, gliadin, albumin, whey protein and zein) into three GRAS synthetic dyes (allura red, sunset yellow and fast green) using a Fluoromax-3 (Horiba Scientific Inc.). Temperature (20°C) and dye concentration were kept constant throughout the study. Anisotropy, ionic strength and temperature studies were also carried out to further explore the nature of the molecular interactions.  Results indicate that the fluorescence intensity of fast green is increased by the addition of all water soluble proteins, which are BSA, whey protein and gelatin. It is found that fast green exhibits a very strong binding with the bovine serum albumin molecule, involving electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Allura red, as an azo dye, shows less sensitivity to water-soluble protein molecules, while it has hydrophobic interactions with methyl cellulose. Sunset yellow does not show obvious sensitivity to any of the carbohydrates and proteins studied.  These results provide insights into the molecular interactions between synthetic dyes and food macromolecules. Therefore, these findings can be used to enhance the performance of these dyes as intrinsic luminescent probes for the physical state of foods and can also contribute to the enhanced detection of synthetic dyes in food products.
Introgression of genetic resistance to downy mildew (peronospora belbahrii) in a non-model plant species, sweet basil (ocimum basilicum)
Creators: name: Pyne, Robert M.

Year: 2017

description: Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is among the most widely cultivated culinary herbs in the United States, Western Europe and Israel. Despite relative economic importance, breeding and genetic study of this plant species has been largely neglected, rendering its >3 Gbp genome largely unexplored. The deficit in available O. basilicum genetic and genomic resources has been highlighted by a worldwide downy mildew epidemic caused by obligate oomycete Peronospora belbahrii, which has yet to be mediated by disease resistant varieties. The goal of this dissertation research was to narrow the information gap preventing an effective disease resistance breeding response. Specific objectives were to: 1) determine population structure and estimate genetic diversity among a panel of downy mildew resistant and susceptible Ocimum spp. accessions, 2) identify mode of inheritance for resistance to downy mildew in a full-sibling family and 3) construct a linkage map for detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with DM resistance. A nested, model-based cluster analysis demonstrated three major delineations within the Ocimum genus with additional evidence for cryptic structure, especially within the economically important k1 O. basilicum cluster. Distribution of DM resistance was concentrated outside the k1 O. basilicum cluster with the exception of a single k1 genotype, ‘MRI’. Analysis of downy mildew response across F2 and backcross populations over two years and two locations demonstrated major gene control of downy mildew resistance conferred by MRI. Finally, a restriction site associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) approach facilitated the discovery and mapping of >1,800 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers. The resulting genetic map was validated by the detection of a major QTL, dm11.1, which explained 38-55% of the phenotypic variance observed for the MRI x SB22 F2 mapping population. Disomic inheritance of SNP and SSR markers support previous cytological evidence that basil has evolved an allopolyploid genome. Results of this dissertation provide the most robust phylogenetic examination of the Ocimum genus to date, characterization of DM heritability across multiple environments and the first report of genetic/QTL mapping for O. basilicum. A current case study is provided for the feasibility of breeding a non-model plant species using classical genetic theory in combination with modern genomic technologies.
Understanding the relationship between process parameters and critical quality attributes of tablets produced by batch and continuous granulation for a low-dose caffeine formulation using design of experiments approach
Creators: name: Rao, Kallakuri Suparna
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Wet granulation is the process of particle size enlargement by inducing agglomeration of individual particles by addition of a liquid binding agent. Granulation is an integral step during pharmaceutical manufacturing for solid doses, which is usually followed by unit operations such as drying, milling and finally tableting and coating. This process can be performed in both batch and continuous forms.  Granulation process is typically known to alleviate problems of powder handling, non-uniform distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), segregation and poor flow properties of powders/blends. However, as pharmaceutical manufacturing is evolving to include Quality by Design (QbD), numerous opportunities of research in the areas of continuous manufacturing and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) are now being explored, allowing for improvement in existing batch manufacturing and in continuous manufacturing.  The objective of the thesis is to study the effect of process conditions employed during granulation on the final quality attributes of tablets prepared. For this study tablets were prepared by granules produced in a high-shear batch granulator (HSG) and a continuous twin screw granulator (TSG) with the aim of comparing the robustness of the two processes and quality attributes of tablets for a broad range of operating conditions. A four component low-dose formulation with Caffeine as API was selected for the purpose of the study. The formulation consisting of 44% (w/w) MCC Avicel PH101, 44% (w/w) monohydrate a-lactose, 8% (w/w) Caffeine as the API and 4% (w/w) Polyvinylpyrrolidone was pre-blended and used for granulation experiments.  In this dissertation, parameters such as liquid-solid (L/S) ratio, wet-massing time and chopper speed were varied to produce granules in a face-centered DoE augmented with 3 center points. Granules produced were analyzed for granule size distribution, porosity, aspect ratio and Hausner ratio.  Characterization of the twin-screw granulator was carried out by setting up a d-optimal DoE with operational parameters; namely, (L/S) ratio, feeder throughput, screw RPM, granulator barrel temperature, and screw configuration variations. The design space was optimized by the size distribution of the granules and torque to determine the most significant parameters. Granules produced from both equipment were used to make flat-faced tablets. The robustness of the two granulation processes were compared by critical attributes such as granule size distribution, porosity, tablet hardness, tablet dissolution profiles, content uniformity of the active ingredient and the optimum operation design spaces of the processes.

Performing heritage

description: Twenty-first century intangible cultural heritage preservation efforts can be better understood by looking specifically at dance as a medium of cultural expression.  As budgetary issues, lack of trained dance preservation specialists, and the passage of time increasingly threaten intangible heritage, this thesis focuses on the efforts of dance organizations in the United States to document and preserve dance forms, steps, and choreography.  Further, this thesis submits that because dance is a key to transmitting American culture globally, more efforts should be made to preserve America’s dance heritage.            Dance encapsulates many dimensions of social life, including communal celebrations, rites of passage, ritual observances, and religious observances.  Outside the United States, many cultures have long histories of using dance traditions to transmit ancestral heritage, such as the Japanese Eisa dances from Okinawa Island, West African Elegba folklore dances, and Australian Aboriginal community dances.           Dance also reflects specific moments of societal change.  Several dance styles in the United States illustrate this concept.  The Modern dance movement in the early 1900s epitomized artists breaking free from the strict structures of Ballet.  Swing dance captured the ebullient mood of the roaring 1920s.  African American youth found an outlet for anger and frustration in the 1980s through breakdancing.     In a century of rapid economic, political, and social change, traditional dance forms are increasingly challenged by lack of funding, lack of public support and participation, and ever-changing societal pressures for gender confinement.  Different countries place varying levels of importance on the safeguarding of art within the culture at large.  In the United States, there is no large government agency tasked with intangible cultural preservation.  Instead, smaller private agencies have begun the monumental task of recording, safeguarding, and preserving our dance legacy.    This thesis investigates how dance communities and organizations in the United States are working toward developing programs to preserve dance traditions.  Through case studies, dance preservation efforts in the United States and globally are compared.  Formal interviews of individuals who work in the dance community and the dance preservation sector, in conjunction with research on dance history and dance preservation activities, highlight dance preservation efforts and approaches within the United States.  Other nations’ approaches to dance preservation are also considered regarding best-practices that can be applied in the United States.

Collecting conditions. The specimen collected near Dobrovăț was found under the bark of a dead common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.).
Distribution. This species originated in Africa (Bousquet et al. 2018), but it is now distributed worldwide, except Australia (Qin et al. 2023). Tribolium (T.) destructor was first recorded in Germany in 1912 (Geisthardt 1983). For a more detailed overview of the global distribution in Europe, see Iwan et al. (2020). Romania is a new country record.
Notes. T. destructor is morphologically close to T. confusum (Gorham 1991), another Tribolium species recorded in Romania, but also molecularly (Angelini & Jockusch 2008). The two species can be differentiated on the basis of the shape of the epistoma—rounded at the eye in T. destructor, with large punctures centrally on the pronotum and in the elytral striae, pronotum widest at half-length to epistoma subangulate at the eye and small punctures in T. confusum (Gorham 1991).
Tribolium destructor is a primary pest of stored products (Reynolds 1944). It has been found in various environments and can equally colonize anthropic and natural habitats (Linsley 1944; Gren 2003), thus facilitating its establishment (Ikin et al. 1999). The species appears to have evolved as a saprophytic insect and is known to occur naturally under the bark of trees, in dead wood, and occasionally in the nests of some Hymenoptera (Arnaud et al. 2005). The species is not known to fly (Mathlein 1943), so long-distance spread relies on human transport in grain (Ikin et al. 1999) or from shops, mills, and bakeries to homes. Howard (1987) reported that olefins are present in defensive secretions, and Hasan (2001) demonstrated that T. destructor is more radioresistant and lives longer than other Tribolium species.
This may be as economically important as other serious pests, such as T. confusum and T. castaneum (Bousquet 1990).

Classroom preschool science learning
Creators: name: Reuter, Jamie M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The recent decades have seen an increased focus on improving early science education.  Goals include helping young children learn about pertinent concepts in science, and fostering early scientific reasoning and inquiry skills (e.g., NRC 2007, 2012, 2015).  However, there is still much to learn about what constitutes appropriate frameworks that blend science education with developmentally appropriate learning environments.  An important goal for the construction of early science is a better understanding of appropriate learning experiences and expectations for preschool children.  This dissertation examines some of these concerns by focusing on three dimensions of science learning in the preschool classroom: (1) the learner; (2) instructional tools and pedagogy; and (3) the social context of learning with peers.      In terms of the learner, the dissertation examines some dimensions of preschool children’s scientific reasoning skills in the context of potentially relevant, developing general reasoning abilities.  As young children undergo rapid cognitive changes during the preschool years, it is important to explore how these may influence scientific thinking.  Two features of cognitive functioning have been carefully studied: (1) the demonstration of an epistemic awareness through an emerging theory of mind, and (2) the rapid improvement in executive functioning capacity.  Both continue to develop through childhood and adolescence, but changes in early childhood are especially striking and have been neglected as regards their potential role in scientific thinking.  The question is whether such skills relate to young children’s capacity for scientific thinking.    Another goal was to determine whether simple physics diagrams serve as effective instructional tools in supporting preschool children’s scientific thinking.  Specifically, in activities involving predicting and checking in scientific contexts, the question is whether such diagrams facilitate children’s ability to accurately recall initial predictions, as well as discriminate between the outcome of a scientific manipulation and their original predictions (i.e., to determine whether one’s predictions were confirmed).      Finally, this dissertation also explores the social context of learning science with peers in the preschool classroom.  Due to little prior research in this area, it is currently unclear whether and how preschool children may benefit from working with peers on science activities in the classroom.  This work aims to examine preschoolers’ collaboration on a science learning activity, as well as the developmental function for such collaborative skills over the preschool years.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: A redesign of the Wingate High School, located in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York is a project aimed at combating the effects of community violence and a desolate city landscape on a specific high school landscape. This project looks at how theories about how community violence affects the personal identities of children in dense, urban inner city areas and how that violence affects their view of themselves and the world around them. An in depth report of the East Flatbush neighborhood and its community organizations are examined then followed by comprehensive examination of the George W. Wingate High School site. Exploring connections with nearby Kings County Hospital and the neighborhood surrounding two sides of the park; this design aims at creating a friendlier, open therapeutic space that can be used as more than a retreat for the students who experience everyday violence but also the patients and staff of the hospital and the adjacent neighborhood. Through the use of unobtrusive observation, mapping, and photo documentation this project will introduce many new ideas regarding how to think about the effects of violence on schools and the surrounding community.

Photosynthetic capacity along a gradient of trace element contamination in a spontaneous urban forest community
Creators: name: Salisbury, Allyson
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Trace element (TE) pollution of soil is a pervasive global problem which affects both human health and ecosystem function. However there is a lack of mechanistic understanding in the ways TE effects on individual organisms ultimately alter ecosystem function. The goal of this dissertation was to explore the effects of TE contamination on primary productivity in a hardwood forest which spontaneously established in an urban brownfield. Given the age of the site, the study first compared a set of measurements made on soil data collected at the site over the course of 20 years. This analysis revealed that pseudo-total concentrations of copper, lead, and zinc in the soil remained fairly stable in this time period. However between 2005 and 2015 concentrations of arsenic and chromium increased. Next, the study measured photosynthesis rates and other related leaf level biophysical parameters over the course of two growing seasons in Betula populifolia which were growing in plots with low or high TE concentrations (trees were at least 10 years old). The maximum carboxylation rate and electron transport rate of trees growing in high TE plots was significantly lower than those in low TE plots during July 2014 and May 2015. TE alone was not a significant predictor of photosynthesis parameters. These findings suggest TE effects on photosynthesis apparatus in these trees may transient and seasonal in nature and that photosynthesis is fairly robust along the gradient of TE contamination at the research site. In the third study, leaf area index (LAI) measured over the course of seven years was compared between two low and two high TE plots within the study site. In the first three years of LAI measurements, one high TE plot consistently had the highest LAI while the second high TE plot had the lowest LAI. The LAI results suggest that other factors such as soil nutrient availability, facilitative mycorrhizal interactions, stand age and plot history may also be important drivers of canopy productivity in addition to TE stress. These studies, taken together with other research conducted at the site, highlight the challenge of developing a mechanistic understanding of TE impact on hardwood primary productivity. TE may play a more important role earlier in assemblage development by acting as an abiotic filter on species establishment, though more work is needed to confirm this hypothesis. These findings also demonstrate the potential of such ecosystems to function in spite of severe abiotic stress.

Remarks. Originally from Africa (Henríquez-Valido et al. 2020), it was known to inflict damage on wheat in Europe before the end of the eighteenth century (Back & Cotton 1926). Currently, it is cosmopolitan and is a storage pest with both adults and larvae feeding upon grains and grain products. Adults are occasionally predacious on other insects (Cotton & Good 1937). It usually overwinters as an adult in wooden boards and sawdust but also as a larva (Shen 1998). The species was reported in Romania by Seidlitz (1891), with the introduction of the species attributed to the importation of stored products (Teodorescu et al. 2006).
