Subjects: Convection (Meteorology

description: The evolution of cirrus from detrained convective outflow into large-scale  persistent cloud systems is not well understood. At times, cirrus properties such as ice  water content and particle size appear to evolve over periods of several tens of hours,  while at other times the anvils are found to sublimate rapidly. To form a more complete  understanding of these processes, the temporal evolution of the cloud systems can be  followed using geostationary satellite imagery. Using data from the MTSAT-1R Satellite  over tropical Australia, cirrus cloud systems that were studied by in situ aircraft and  ground-based remote sensors are tracked backwards in time from the time they were  observed until they reached a convective origin. This thesis presents results that  demonstrate that it is possible to track cirrus clouds in the tropics using satellite imagery  and model analyses as guidance. The sensitivity of observed cloud properties to the  length of time since the cirrus are detrained from deep convection under various largescale  meteorological conditions is examined.

description: The endocytic apparatus, a series of vesicular compartments that exist in dynamic equilibrium through fusion and fission events, provides a mechanism for the movement of molecules within the cell. Newly synthesized molecules are trafficked from the Golgi to their functional location and internalized molecules are delivered to the lysosome/vacuole for degradation. Many proteins are required to maintain the appropriate trafficking of molecules and the size and number of vesicles. This dissertation identifies and characterizes proteins that function within the later portion of the endocytic pathway. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Targeted Mutagenesis of the Hox D Locus: A Genetic Analysis of Limb Development in the Mouse
Creators: name: Davis, Allan Peter
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Mice - Genetics

description: The Hox Complex is a matrix of 38 transcription factor genes that play a role in the proper development of the vertebrate body plan by specifying regional information along the embryonic axes. The 5' Hox D genes are a subset of this complex that are strongly expressed in the limb buds during embryogenesis, suggesting that they influence the appendicular skeleton. A specific molecular combinatorial Hox code has been proposed as a model for the 5' Hox D genes in patterning the vertebrate limb. To test this model and resolve the role of these genes in development, a genetic analysis is performed by a mutational approach in the mouse. Specifically, the technique of gene targeting is employed to generate mice individually mutant for hoxd-11, hoxd-12, and hoxd-13. These strains have urogenital tract defects (often resulting in sterility), axial homeosis at the lumbar-sacral region, and malformations in the limb skeleton. The limb phenotypes, however, do not resemble any apparent homeotic transformations as predicted by the combinatorial codes but rather are the result of regional malformations in the shapes, length, and segmentation of bones. To extend these findings, the strains are crossed to each other and to other Hox-deficient mice to produce animals with various combinations of mutant alleles. The phenotypes in these animals are more dramatic demonstrating functional redundancy and genetic interaction, especially in the limb. The data allow for a new interpretation where the Hox D genes regulate cell proliferation in a proximodistal direction during growth of the limb bud. As such, these genes may not code for distinct positional information, per se, but rather contribute to the number of cells required for proper limb construction. The results are discussed in the context of three models for generating a limb pattern in vertebrates.

description: Although the cladodes of Nopalea cochenillifera are used in Mexican traditional medicine to treat diabetes and various other diseases, its antihyperglycaemic properties, phenolic content, and antioxidant activity are not well documented. Thus, we determined the activity of a single dose of fresh, blended cladodes on postprandial glycaemia in rats after a starch load. We prepared a methanolic extract of N. cochenillifera cladodes and measured its phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The antihyperglycaemic effect of blended cladodes was similar to that of acarbose when considering the changes in glucose levels from baseline. Furthermore, the methanolic extract contained a considerable amount of phenolic compounds and exhibited antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay, but did not markedly inhibit α-glucosidase and had a low antioxidant effect in the ABTS test.

description: Balancing the trade off between the spatial and temporal quality of interactive computer graphics imagery is one of the fundamental design challenges in the construction of rendering systems. Inexpensive interactive rendering hardware may deliver a high level of temporal performance if the level of spatial image quality is sufficiently constrained. In these cases, the spatial fidelity level is an independent parameter of the system and temporal performance is a dependent variable. The spatial quality parameter is selected for the system by the designer based on the anticipated graphics workload. Interactive ray tracing is one example; the algorithm is often selected due to its ability to deliver a high level of spatial fidelity, and the relatively lower level of temporal performance isreadily accepted.  This dissertation proposes an algorithm to perform fine-grained adjustments to the trade off between the spatial quality of images produced by an interactive renderer, and the temporal performance or quality of the rendered image sequence. The approach first determines the minimum amount of sampling work necessary to achieve a certain fidelity level, and then allows the surplus capacity to be directed towards spatial or temporal fidelity improvement. The algorithm consists of an efficient parallel spatial and temporal adaptive rendering mechanism and a control optimization problem which adjusts the sampling rate based on a characterization of the rendered imagery and constraints on the capacity of the rendering system.

The sample was comprised of mostly special adult attention and obtain peer attention, academic escape, and social escape. identify modifying ABSTRACT Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), though mandated by federal law, is a time-consuming and resource-intensive set of procedures that often leads to timeconsuming and complicated behavioral interventions. It is often conducted by district experts, and not the educational teams that work daily with students engaging in problem behaviors in schools. The current investigation employed a national survey of CCBD members to see if educational professionals could identify functionally-related interventions for problem behaviors that already exist in their school setting, and do not education teachers, though some administrators, school psychologists and consultants were included in the sample. The survey included vignettes of fictional students and functions were identified and explicitly stated. The four functions included were: obtain Results of the survey study indicate that professionals were able to identify function-based interventions that exist in their school settings 85% of the time throughout the survey. The majority of interventions reported either antecedent or consequence manipulations, far fewer reporting interventions that aimed to teach a new behavior. Ninety-three percent of interventions reported were positive approaches to modifying it consuming. behavior. Whereas respondents did not rate the FBA Matrix as very helpful, they did identify that they like the fact that FBA procedures lead to effective interventions and teamwork among professionals. The most frequently reported complaint about FBA was that is very time-consuming.

Modeling the effects of evaporation on acid rock drainage in mine rock samples

Subjects: Acid mine drainage
Water-rock interaction

description: Acid rock drainage (ARD) is an environmental concern of great importance to  the mining industry. Humidity cell testing is often used to evaluate the acid  producing potential of rock piles. It was desired to develop a comprehensive model  of the processes that occur in humidity cell testing. Specifically, it was desired to  develop a model that considered both ARD reactions without neglecting temperature  effects due to reaction or evaporation. To this end, a model of the humidity cell was  developed using Comsol Multiphysics™.  ID isothermal and adiabatic models of evaporation in a humidity cell were  developed. Analytic solutions were used to validate these models. A ID nonad  iabatic evaporative model was designed to simulate the actual conditions  experienced during humidity cell testing. This model was verified using experimental  data. A homogeneous 2D nonadiabatic model of evaporation in a humidity cell was  developed and also compared to experimental data with good results. Heterogeneity  was added to the 2D model in the form of an inclined layer with different  permeabilities to investigate the effects of an irregular air-flow pattern on  evaporation. The results showed some interesting flow fields and temperature  distributions and a few numerical anomalies that needed to be addressed. Finally, a  ID humidity cell model was developed which considered four reactions in addition to the leaching and evaporative processes involved in humidity cell testing. Comparison  of this model with experimental data was also good.  These models will be used to understand the process of mine rock piles  weathering, particularly for a selected mining site. The results will be used to  develop a more comprehensive field model that will help predict the stability and the  geochemical changes that will occur in a rock pile into the future. Better  environmental management of these rock piles will occur with this increase in  understanding of the mechanisms involved.

description: Eugenia involucrata DC. (Myrtaceae), popularly known as “cereja-do-Rio-Grande”, is a native tree from Brazil, popularly used as a hypoglycemiant. Crude hydroalcoholic extract (CHE) and fractions (insoluble (FI), dichloromethane (FDM), ethyl acetate (FEA) and butanol (FBu)) of leaves were assessed to determine the phenolic chemical composition by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. 10 compounds were identified, being 7 new for this species: rutin, isoquercitrin, luteolin-7-O-rutinoside, mandelic acid, naringenin, luteolin-7-O-glucoside and salicylic acid. Extract and fractions showed inhibitory activity on acetylcholinesterase (AchE) enzyme (best result: IC50 = 44.19 µg mL−1, for FEA) and α-glucosidase (α-Glu) (best result: IC50 = 31.25 ± 0.15 µg mL−1, for CHE). The observed antioxidant and inhibitory activity on the AchE and α-Glu is due to, at least in part, the presence of phenolic compounds in the samples.

description: Since 1983 the eruptions from the Pu'u O'o vent in the Kilauea rift zone on the  island of Hawaii have provided researchers numerous opportunities to study effusion  rates, emplacement controls and the geomorphology of lava flows. This thesis utilizes  recently acquired subcentimeter topographical data acquired by a ground-based LiDAR  system to measure the volumetric growth and effusion rate of the PKK flow over a 3-day  period in February 2007, during the waning stages of its eruption from the Pu'u O'o vent.  The mean effusion rate calculated for this study area was 0.02 m /s. This calculation is  based on a spatial coverage of 4886 m2 for the survey area over a time period of 48 hr.  The calculated range of fractal dimension values for a pahoehoe flow was 1.16 to 1.23,  measured along the flow margins utilizing the divider method and the software program  FRAGSTATS. This range of values is typical for pahoehoe flow morphology.  Topographic profiles were also created to describe the changing geomorphic  characteristics of the lava field in an effort to describe the subcentimeter changes in  surface roughness. A tumulus and flow lobes were easily detected due to the high  resolution (mm scale) of the Digital Elevation Models. This project demonstrates the  utility of ground-based LiDAR for high precision topographic surveys, which can refine  what is known about geomorphic processes including lava emplacement controls and  erosion. Further use of LiDAR may aid in hazard and risk mitigation in populated areas  as well as the exploration of extraterrestrial planetary surfaces.

description: Echeveria subrigida is native to Mexico and its methanol extract (ME) shows relevant biological activities for human health, including the α-glucosidase inhibitory (αGI) activity that suggests its antidiabetic potential. Fractionation of the ME based on the αGI activity (IC50 in µg/mL) showed that quercetin-3-O-β-glucoside (131.1), isorhamnetin-3-O-β-glucoside (166.4), and dimers to heptamers proanthocyanidins (9.6) were among the main responsible of αGI activity in the ME. The purified compounds showed better activity than acarbose (IC50 = 4426 µg/mL).

Square root

description: The calculation of reciprocal square roots is vital to graphics rendering. This computation is performed often when rendering graphical images. The computation time required for a reciprocal square root calculation is high as a result of its complexity. A circuit dedicated to performing this floating point operation is proposed. The circuit is  designed for implementation in a graphics ray tracing processor. Contemporary circuit  designers have a wide variety of design tools and practices to select from when implementing a design. Continuous improvements in tools and techniques can lead to ambiguity when selecting which design methods to employ. The design of the reciprocal square root circuit is undertaken using both a custom and an automated circuit design flow. The results of this experiment are gathered and reviewed to determine costs and  benefits of each method. The custom design flow utilizes an iterative architecture which  demonstrates advantages of reduced gate count and circuit area by as much as 90%. The  automated design flow utilizes a pipelined architecture that provides the advantages of  greater throughput and shorter design time requirements by an order of magnitude. Both  flows yield circuits of roughly comparable speed and latency. Some recommendations  are provided for applying each technique to different types of applications. Applications  such as embedded circuits may benefit from the custom design, where area and power  consumption are critical. Applications requiring an abbreviated design flow or high  throughput may be better suited to the automated flow.

description: Use of physical discipline techniques can lead to harmful outcomes, not only  physically, but also emotionally. Harsh discipline has been linked to internalizing  disorders such as depression, hopelessness, anxiety, and shame. This study explored the  attributions held by mothers and their children to explain the reasons for the given  discipline and its relation to children's emotional functioning. This study focused on four  discipline attributions domains: deservedness, mother's mood stability, intentionality, and  causality. Ninety-seven mother-child dyads (with children ages 7-12) were recruited from  the Wasatch Front and given a battery of measures. Mothers completed measures of child  abuse potential and discipline attributions. The child was given a self-report battery of  attributional and emotional functioning measures. Measures were analyzed using  Pearson's correlations and structural equation modeling. Results showed that children  seem to have higher rates of internalizing disorders when their mother's felt the discipline  given was fair and her mood was stable. The child, on the other hand, attributed the  discipline as being unfair and their mother's mood as unstable. Children also seemed to  hold negative self-attributions, which were internal, stable, and global. This phenomenon  could be conceptualized as an "externalizing blame" perspective. Given the feeling of  helplessness to change discipline outcomes, harsh discipline may be more likely to occur  and more often be linked to poor emotional child functioning. This tendency may also be  a contributing factor for continuing the cycle of violence if the child as an adult takes on externalizing blame attributions. Results demonstrated no correlations between child  abuse potential and child outcomes measures, although this may reflect sample size and  social desirability responding.

description: The resultant spectra from equivalent-linear and nonlinear methods of site  response analysis on three soft and deep soil sites were compared for high levels of  ground shaking in the urbanized area of the Wasatch Front near Salt Lake City, Utah. Site  response methods were performed in accordance with a guidance document prepared for  UDOT (Bartlett 2004) and a research document in preparation for publication in  Earthquake Spectra (Bartlett et al., 2008). Findings indicate that nonlinear site response  analysis more appropriately models the behavior of soft soils subject to high levels of  ground shaking.  Formal ground shaking predictions are provided for the North Interchange of  Legacy Parkway for rupture scenarios including rupture of the Weber, Brigham, and Salt  Lake City segments of the Wasatch Fault, and an additional scenario to model a 475-year  event. Guidance and recommendations for accelerometer instrumentation of subsurface  soil profiles are provided for the North Interchange of Legacy Parkway.

description: Five sesquiterpene lactones were isolated and identified from Ambrosia maritima L. Hymenin showed highest cytotoxic activity against HCT-116, A-549, and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50= 3.83 ± 0.2, 5.48 ± 0.3, 10.1 ± 0.6 µg/mL, respectively). Damsin has significant COX-2 inhibitory activity (IC50=33.97 ± 1.62 µg/mL) while hymenin showed highest selectivity to COX-1 (IC50 = 18.21 µg/mL) and significant inhibition of NO (IC50=18.19 ± 0.75 µg/mL). The docking study revealed nice fitting into COX-1/2 and a higher binding affinity for maritimolide towards human Src kinase compared to the native ligand, Bosutinib. Results suggested that both COXs/Src kinase inhibition could contribute even partially to the overall mechanism of cytotoxic activity of the five compounds. The structure-activity relationship revealed that α-methylene-γ-lactone moiety enhances the cytotoxic activity, OH group at C-1 increase activity of hymenin. However, the reduction of the double bond at C-2 as in damsin resulted in a significant decrease in activity against HCT-116 and MCF-7 cells.

description: Stochastic methods, dense free-form mapping, atlas construction, and total variation are examples of advanced image processing techniques which are robust but computationally demanding. These algorithms often require a large amount of computational power as well as massive memory bandwidth. These requirements used to be ful lled only by supercomputers. The development of heterogeneous parallel subsystems and  computation-specialized devices such as Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) has brought the requisite power to commodity hardware, opening up opportunities for scientists to experiment and evaluate the in uence of these techniques on their research and practical  applications. However, harnessing the processing power from modern hardware is challenging.  The di fferences between multicore parallel processing systems and conventional models are signi ficant, often requiring algorithms and data structures to be redesigned  signi ficantly for efficiency. It also demands in-depth knowledge about modern hardware architectures to optimize these implementations, sometimes on a per-architecture basis.  The goal of this dissertation is to introduce a solution for this problem based on a 3D image processing framework, using high performance APIs at the core level to utilize parallel processing power of the GPUs. The design of the framework facilitates an efficient application development process, which does not require scientists to have extensive knowledge about  GPU systems, and encourages them to harness this power  to solve their computationally challenging problems. To present the development of this framework, four main problems are described, and the solutions are discussed and evaluated: (1) essential components of a general 3D image processing library: data structures and algorithms, as well as how to implement these building blocks on the GPU architecture for optimal performance; (2) an implementation of unbiased atlas construction  algorithms|an illustration of how to solve a highly complex and computationally expensive algorithm using this framework; (3) an extension of the framework to account for geometry descriptors to solve registration challenges with large scale shape changes and  high intensity-contrast di fferences; and (4) an out-of-core streaming model, which enables   developers to implement multi-image processing techniques on commodity hardware.
MAKING SENSE OF SEXUALIZED IMAGES OF WOMEN IN A MALE DIRECTED MAGAZINE: A QUALITATIVE THINK ALOUD STUDY

Subjects: gender; media; sexualization; women's objectification

description: Media sexualization of women may lead to objectification and poor well-being. To explore the more ‘in the moment’ and spontaneous responses to sexualized images men (n = 19) and women (n = 20) from Greece/Cyprus and the UK completed a qualitative think aloud task whilst exploring images of women in a male-directed magazine. Using thematic analysis, four themes emerged: What they see; Sense of celebration; Feeling insulted; Harmful consequences. Transcending these themes was the notion of choice/ownership. These themes were then further coded to explore differences between men and women and by culture (Greece/Cyprus vs. UK). Whilst men and women described what they saw as positive, negative or with moral judgement, women were also more likely to either celebrate women’s sexualized images and seeing them as empowering and justified, or felt insulted and angry, perceiving the media as objectifying women, and described possible harmful consequences. This tended to be underpinned by whether the women in the images were perceived to have choice/ownership over their actions. If women observers imputed no choice/ownership to the women in the images, such images were considered insulting whereas a sense of choice/ownership gave them a sense of empowerment. No clear differences by culture were observed.

SELF-EXPERIENCE FROM ADDICTION TO RECOVERY: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

Subjects: addiction; affect dysregulation; self-experience; shame; vulnerability

description: Substance addiction has been linked to narcissism in the psychoanalytic literature, as well as in empirical research. Contingent self-esteem, affect dysregulation, shame, and grandiose self-states, are found to characterize people who develop addictions. From a self-psychology perspective, these characteristics constitute a narcissistic vulnerability that predisposes to, and maintains, addiction. In this qualitative study, we explored the self-experience of opioid addicted young adults from a self-psychology approach. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 22 men and women in the final phase of recovery and thematically analyzed the data to gain an in-depth understanding of the way opioid addicted adults experience their selves in relation to others, substances, and therapy. The findings elucidate ways in which narcissistic dynamics characterize the addicted individuals’ sense of self. The participants’ accounts converged into four core themes: Developing camouflage to conceal the vulnerable and shameful self; seeking acceptance for a needy depleted self; the disconnected self and its mechanistic abuse of drugs and significant others; difficulties in regulating affect and containing aggression. Discussion focuses on implications for therapy, with an emphasis on the prominent role of shame.

Homeless children - Psychology

description: A qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study was done to examine the day to day stressors, coping efforts, and coping resources of homeless children aged 7 to 11 years old living in a homeless shelter with their families.  Fourteen children participated in the study which utilized a sentence completion list and a semistructured daily journal in the shelter school classroom to obtain the stressors, coping efforts, and coping resources of these children.  A demographic questionnaire was also utilized to get a description of the sample and identify reasons for homelessness.  The demographic information obtained revealed that unemployment, personal crisis, and inability to stay with family or friends were primary reasons for homelessness in this sample.  Content analysis was utilized to analyze the qualitative data.  Analysis of the stressors revealed 10 different categories of stressors with the stressor categories disappointments and children in the shelter being predominant.  A total of 15 coping effort categories was developed from the data obtained from the children with seeking support efforts being predominant in the sentence completion list and compliance/endurance being predominant in the daily journal.  Coping resource data revealed 9 categories with formal children.  Categories that included structured activities were shown to be an important resource to these children.  Coping effort themes and stressor-coping effort transactions were also analyzed.  Although the sample size for this study was small, it is important to note the results because of the difficulty in studying this population.  The results of this study are important to nurses and other professionals working with homeless children in that it show that these children perceive and experience stress.  It also shows the importance of structured activities as a resource for these children.
The Gaia revolution: a new view of the Milky Way traced by its star clusters
Creators: name: Cantat-Gaudin, Tristan

description: The census of stellar structures and star clusters in the Milky Way has been vastly improved in the recent years, largely owing to the Gaia mission. On a large scale, our ability to estimate more reliable ages and distances to clusters allows us to refine our understanding of the structure of our Galaxy and the mechanisms that drive its evolution. The study of young aggregates in the Solar neighbourhood and their internal kinematics has given us important insight on the conditions of star formation. In this talk I will review important results obtained from Gaia DR2, EDR3, and DR3 data. Despite its paradigm-changing impact, Gaia leaves us with many open questions which can only be tackled in combination with observations from other instruments, in particular ground-based spectroscopic surveys.
