Preschoolers' ability to classify pairs of photographs of animate and inanimate animals that are the same or different kind
Creators: name: Yang, Shuqi

Year: 2015

description: Brenneman, Zuza and Gelman (unpublished,2003) demonstrated that 3- and 4-year-old children could classify pairs of photographs of real and fabricated copies of animate objects into the correct animate and inanimate category. In their experiment, each pair consisted of photographs of a real and an artificial version of the same animal (i.e., a real and an artificial dog, a real and an artificial rabbit, etc). Here we label this Control condition. In the present follow-up Experimental condition, we sample stimuli from the Control study, but decreased the surface similarity of the pairs. To do this we assigned photo of real animal with randomly selected fake animal pictures. As a result, no pair of real-fake animal photos looked alike. Fifteen 3-year-old and fifteen 4-year-old children participated in the present study and results from the previous experiment was used as a Control comparison condition. Results showed that there was no significant difference between the present experiment and the previous experiment for both age groups (p=0.208). Still, inspection of the distributions of the 3- year-old children’s performance, there was a tendency that the context of similarity facilitates three year old children’s biological categorization.

New reactions and strategies in divergent syntheses of macrolide antibiotics
Creators: name: Yu, Libing
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: From the microbial world, antibiotics are structurally complex and highly potent chemical weapons that co-evolved with bacteria. Macrolide (glycosylated cyclic polyketides) antibiotics have been used extensively as first-line antibacterial agents since the discovery of the broad-spectrum antibiotic erythromycin A in 1952. However wide-spread use of antibiotics has led pathogens to develop drug resistance. Therefore new and enhanced antibiotics are constantly in need.  Described in this dissertation is my effort to emulate the synthetic capabilities of erythromycin-producing bacteria by accessing novel erythromycin-inspired polyketides via divergent total synthesis. New allene oxidation methods have been developed and implemented in a modular and divergent route to produce a diversified portfolio of cyclic polyketides and their glycoconjugates. I will disclose a total synthesis of 4,10-didesmethyl-(9S)-dihydroerythronolide A (Chapter 2), preparation of glycosylated erythromycin analogs (Chapter 3) and progress towards synthesis of 9(S)-dihydroerythronolide A (Chapter 4).
Optimizing green infrastructure practices for the Pond Run watershed in Hamilton, New Jersey
Creators: name: Yu, Tianshui

Year: 2015

description: Flooding appears to be a disruptive disaster to human health and property during the progress of urbanization. Due to climate change and urbanization, Green Infrastructure (GI) or Low Impact Development (LID) has become a solution for the increasing volume of rainfall by disconnecting the runoff from the sewer system, extending the water retention time, and reducing the impervious surfaces that contribute to the river. This study is seeking a better understanding of the effectiveness and economic feasibility of green infrastructure. The hypothesis is that sufficient green infrastructure practices will reduce flooding in aspects of water elevation and floodplain width.   Based on previous work, five sub-basins within Pond Run Watershed in Hamilton, New Jersey were identified as the priority areas for stormwater runoff mitigation. This study further analyzed the largest sub-basin of those five in aspects of hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics. A total of 45 points along the North Branch of Pond Run are identified as points of interest, where the geometric data of the channel cross-sections are surveyed. The peak discharges at the survey points are modeled with HydroCAD based on land use data from geographic information system (GIS) and field verifications with 1, 2, 5, 10 and 100 year type-III 24-hour-storms. The hydraulic study is modeled with Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) to predict scenarios under various runoff situations assuming 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of imperviousness through the whole sub-basin is disconnected by green infrastructure practices.   By comparing the water surface elevation and floodway width under different assumptions, the effectiveness of GI is analyzed. The water elevation and floodway width of the North Branch of Pond Run are reduced by applying green infrastructure under various amounts of storms. However the effectiveness of GI decreases as the amount of water precipitation increases. In addition, the peak runoff volume reduction is correlated with economic feasibility. A few design plans within the subject watershed are given as examples, which will contribute to a better understanding of both the efficiency and the cost-effectiveness of GI and will help the public to make appropriate decisions.

EXAMINING THE ECONOMIC FACTORS INFLUENCING PUBLIC DEBT IN THE GAMBIA: ARDL BOUND COINTEGRATION APPROACH
Creators: name: Mariama, Aminata Jallow
Publisher: name: keith journal
Year: 2025
Subjects: Public debt, Debt accumulation, Developing countries, Economic factors, Socio-political factors

description: The accumulation of public debt, a pervasive global phenomenon, has spurred intense debate in academic and policy circles, particularly regarding its determinants in developing countries. While some scholars attribute public debt accumulation to internal factors such as poor debt management and low government revenues, others emphasize economic factors including interest rates, economic growth, inflation, debt stock, budget deficits, public expenditure, openness, and monetary policy credibility. Additionally, socio-political factors such as political systems, corruption, electoral openness, competitiveness for legislative elections, and fraud have been identified as significant determinants of public debt accumulation, particularly in countries within the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) region. This paper critically examines the multifaceted determinants of public debt accumulation, drawing insights from diverse scholarly perspectives and empirical evidence. By synthesizing existing literature and empirical findings, it offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between economic, political, and institutional factors shaping public debt dynamics in developing countries. The insights generated can inform policy formulation and decision-making aimed at promoting fiscal sustainability and effective debt management strategies.
Unconstrained face landmark localization

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Nowadays, facial landmark localization in unconstrained environments has attracted increasing attention in computer vision, which is a fundamental step in face recognition, expression recognition, face tracking, editing, face animation, etc. We firstly introduce the problem of facial landmark localization and its relevant canonical and state-of-the-art techniques. Among the existed methods, when facilitating to the facial images under unconstrained environments, they may encounter problems from the large pose variation, partial occlusion, unpredictable illumination, etc. We then separately investigate each of the pose variation and partial occlusion problems. To overcome the shape variation caused by the pose changes, we propose an optimized part mixture model to fast search in the pose manifold and a bi-stage cascaded deformable shape model to refine the local shape variance. For partial occlusion, we propose a consensus of occlusion-specific regressors framework, which resists from the occlusion due to the large amount of regressors and the particularly designed occlusion patterns. Further, we aim at building a unified framework to jointly deal with the pose and occlusion problems. A pose-conditioned hierarchical part based regression method is designed to condition the pose into several pre-defined subspaces and localize the key positions in a hierarchical way, in which the occlusion is detected by the part regressors and further propagated through the hierarchical structure. The proposed facial landmark localization methods have shown more promising performance than those state-of-the-arts in both accuracy and efficiency, compared on both lab-environmental databases and multiple challenging faces-in-the-wild databases. Our face alignment methods are further applied to some human-computer interaction (HCI) applications, i.e. user-defined expression recognition and face and gesture based visual deception detection. The improved results from the applications further validate the advantages of our method under all kinds of uncontrolled conditions.
Sparsity-based methods for cardiac magnetic resonance image reconstruction and analysis
Creators: name: Yu, Yang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: In signal processing, sparseness means that there are only small amounts of non-zero elements. This property has been widely observed in various types of signals. However, the data sparseness is hard to be regularized due to its non-convex nature. The recent development of the compressed sensing technique builds a theoretical connection between the sparse constraint and its convex relaxation. This discovery motivates us to explore different types of sparse properties for the generation and analysis of the cardiac magnetic resonance images (MRIs). In this work, our proposed a series of sparse optimization algorithms have been applied to cardiac image reconstruction, segmentation and motion tracking problems for fast and robust analyzing the cardiac data.    The cardiac imaging is a challenging problem to MRI due to its fast motion. We proposed a novel calibration-less algorithm to accelerate the generation of dynamic MR images with both compressed sensing and parallel imaging. In addition to the temporal signal, which usually provides more data redundancy than spatial signals, the strong correlations among signals from different coils are utilized to form joint sparse constraints. A general optimization framework is presented to solve the problem under different types of temporal sparse constraints efficiently.    We then apply the sparse constraint to the cardiac muscle motion tracking. The 3D deformable heart model is built by simulating its motion in a cardiac cycle based on tagged MRI. The tagged MR data is widely used to reveal the internal myocardial motion. However, the automated tagging line detection results are very noisy due to the poor image quality. To alleviate this issue, we introduce a new family of sparse deformable models based on the sparseness of the detection noise. Our new models track the heart motion robustly, and the resulting strains are consistent with those calculated from manual labels.

Finite element characterization of soft tissue viscoelastic parameters in acoustic radiation force imaging within the region of excitation
Creators: name: Zhao, Xiaodong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Biomechanical imaging techniques based on acoustic radiation force (ARF) have been developed to characterize the viscoelasticity of soft tissue by measuring the motion induced with ARF noninvasively. The unknown stress distribution in the region of excitation (ROE) limits an accurate inverse characterization of soft tissue viscoelasticity.  Thus, many assumptions have been made for both qualitative and quantitative ARF imaging within the ROE.   In this thesis, the finite element method is applied to study the dynamic behavior of soft tissue in ARF imaging within the ROE to investigate the assumptions that are made in these imaging methods and decide what factors affect the accuracy of these assumptions. To this end, the effects of global boundary conditions and local heterogeneity are investigated, and simplified quantitative inversion model is evaluated for their limitations in describing soft tissue dynamic behavior.    In order to improve quantitative estimation within the ROE, an inverse finite element (FE) characterization procedure based on a Bayesian formulation is presented, which takes full advantage of the prior information of the imaging system that are discarded in the simplified inversion models. The Bayesian approach formulates the known model parameters of the FE models as probability distributions, and aims to estimate a reasonable quantification of the probability distributions of soft tissue mechanical properties rather than best-fit values from an optimization procedure, which are not a practical or a comprehensive description of the estimation in the presence of measurement noise and model parameter uncertainty. To make the Bayesian approach computationally feasible, the Gaussian Process metamodeling method is applied as a statistical approximation of the complex FE model. A comprehensive numerical study in ARF induced creep imaging shows that the Bayesian approach with FE model improves the estimation results even in the presence of large uncertainty levels of the model parameters and provides a potential to improve the ROE-response-based imaging methods where the unknown stress limits an accurate inverse FE characterization.

Synthesis and development of phosphorus ligands in the application of rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation

Year: 2015

description: Rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation reaction is one of the most powerful homogeneous catalytic processes in the synthesis of aldehydes that can be widely applied in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. The design and synthesis phosphorus ligands combine with rhodium precursor used as catalysts is essentially important in the development of this reaction. This dissertation mainly focuses on the design, synthesis and application of efficient phosphorus ligands in rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation.     Asymmetric hydroformylation reaction (AHF), especially rhodium-catalyzed AHF has played a central role to construct chiral aldehydes in only one step. Although tons of chiral phosphorus ligands have been reported, few of them exhibited practicable enantioselectivities and regioselectivities.  We report a new family of highly tunable bisphospholane ligands in the application of series of terminal and internal olefins, affording up to 88% for styrene derivatives, 93% ee for vinyl acetate derivatives, 93% ee for dihydrofuran and 96% for dihyropyrrole. A systematic screening different substituents on the ligand showed that ortho chloride on phenyl moiety was the successful structure, achieving the highest regio- and enantioselectivity.     To expand the scope of substrates, especially the more challenging 1,1-disubstituted olefins, we first report the asymmetric hydroformylation of 1,1-disubstituted allylphthalimides by employing chiral ligand 1,2-bis[(2S,5S)-2,5-diphenylphospholano]ethane [(S,S)-Ph-BPE] to yield a series of beta-3-aminoaldehydes with up to 95% enantioselectivity. This asymmetric procedure provides an efficient alternative route to prepare chiral beta-3-amino acids and alcohols that are key structural elements of beta-aminobutyric acid.     Hydroaminomethylation is the tandem reaction of hydroformylation/hydrogenation. This efficient reaction is utilized to build nitrogen-containing compounds, which are interesting in pharmaceutics and fine chemicals. In this chapter, we disclose the synthesis of 4-aryl-2,3-dihyropyrrole derivatives by rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular hydrominometylation reaction with up to 99% yield.

Role of DcpS in mammalian RNA regulation and human diseases
Creators: name: Zhou, Mi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: In eukaryotic cells, mRNA degradation plays an important role in the control of gene expression and is therefore highly regulated. The scavenger decapping enzyme DcpS is a multifunctional protein that plays a critical role in mRNA degradation.   We first sought to identify DcpS target genes in mammalian cells using a cell permeable DcpS inhibitor compound, RG3039, which was initially developed for therapeutic treatment of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Microarray analysis following DcpS decapping inhibition by RG3039 revealed the steady state levels of 222 RNAs were altered. Of a subset selected for validation by qRT-PCR, two non-coding transcripts dependent on DcpS decapping activity, were identified and referred to as DcpS Responsive Noncoding Transcript (DRNT) 1 and 2 respectively. Only the increase in DRNT1 transcript was accompanied with an increase of its RNA stability and this increase was dependent on both DcpS and Xrn1. Our data indicate that DcpS is a transcript-restricted modulator of RNA stability in mammalian cells and the RG3039 quinazoline compound is pleotropic, influence gene expression in both an apparent DcpS dependent and independent manner.  A surprising development was uncovered in a collaborative study where two distinct mutations in the DcpS gene (c.636+1G>A, DcpSIns15 and c.947C>T, DcpST316M) were identified as the underlying cause of autosomal recessive intellectual disability within a consanguineous family. Both of the mutations were confirmed to disrupt DcpS decapping activity in vitro and/or in vivo, indicating that the decapping activity of DcpS is critical for normal neurological development. Consistent with a role for DcpS in neuronal cells, our studies with the DcpSIns15 variant uncovered a link between this variant DcpS and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Exogenous expression of DcpSIns15 in SMA patient fibroblast cells increased SMN2 mRNA and corresponding SMN protein levels. Our findings suggest that strategies to shift wild type DcpS splicing patterns to partially yield the variant DcpS Ins15 splicing pattern may be beneficial for SMA therapeutics.

der digitalen Transformation haben. Besonders betrifft das natürlich auch die Profession der
zukünftigen Lehrer*innen. Um die dazu nötigen breit gefächerten Kompetenzen zu vermitteln und
auch praktisch zu erproben, wurden ein Erweiterungscurriculum1 und die im Folgenden beschriebene
LV „Digitale Transformationen” konzipiert.
Parallel zur LV wurden und werden MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) produziert, die die
Inhaltsebene der LV in Online-Kursen zum Selbststudium bereitstellen. Damit werden die LV Einheiten frei für Gruppenarbeiten und gemeinsame Diskurse.

Structure-dependent electronic properties of oxides from first principles
Creators: name: Zhou, Yuanjun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This thesis contains several investigations on the structure dependent electronic properties of oxides, studied via first-principle calculations or tight-binding models. We start by reviewing the background of structure correlated properties and functionalities in transition metal oxides, followed by the introduction of the density functional theory which will be used throughout this thesis. We next consider the spin-phonon coupling effect for SrMnO3/LaMnO3 superlattice with epitaxial strain. We explain the origin of the intriguing emergence of the large spin-phonon coupling effect for tensile strain. As the study of superlattice goes on, we realize the emergent need of a systematic way to determine the ground state structure for superlattices. Thus we develop the “stacking method” to solve this problem, and test it using PbTiO3/SrTiO3 whose structure is known to be complicated. We then use the stacking method for the further study on epitaxially strained SrCrO3/SrTiO3 superlattice, and find a nonpolar-polar structural transition along with a metal-insulator transition. We conclude that the polar structure induces an orbital ordering, leading to the insulating state. We also study the interband transition effect in the epitaxially strained SrVO3, and show that the suppressed interband transitions lead to the significant transmittance for SrVO3 thin films. Finally we define the surface polarization effect for those surfaces where in-plane inversion symmetry is broken. We extend the Berry-phase theory of the bulk polarization to the case of surface polarization by formulating the problem in the hybrid Wannier representation. The surface polarization is in agree with the accumulating charge at the common edge of two facets as expected.

description: A solar radiative heat transfer model has been developed to study the collimated solar energy harvest in a smart window consisting of multiple silica glass louvers filled with water. The domain is divided into triangular grids, and Monte Carlo method and ray-tracing method are used to allocate energy harvest into grids. The full solar spectrum is divided into discrete bands, and the solar irradiation intensity on each band is distributed among a huge number of independent energy bundles. Band-averaged spectral properties of medium (silica glass and water) are used on each band. Results of different band division methods and different energy bundle numbers are compared to find optimal fits that are both time-saving and accurate. The influence of solar irradiation incoming direction on energy harvest is also discussed.
Dynamics of a ferromagnetic granular system
Creators: name: Zhu, Guanglei
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: We study theoretically and numerically the dynamics of a one-dimensional ferromagnetic granular system. Corresponding to different types of potential in the chain, linear, weakly nonlinear and strongly nonlinear partial differential equations are derived respectively. The continuum limit is derived following the method used by Ishimori (1982). Specifically, we show that by giving initial dynamic force, a system endure anharmonic nearest neighbor interaction (NNI) and inverse power-law long range interaction (LRI) will generate nonlinear solitary waves. Both weakly and strongly nonlinear equations occupied unique properties. Furthermore, we find that the equations of motion varies with different values of the exponent parameter p in each case. Next, we focus on the discussion of the dipole-dipole interaction which corresponds to the ferromagnetic system. We show that though the main contribution to the solitary wave is the short range part, the long-range interaction effect the shape of the solitary wave as well as its propagation velocity.
Delaware River Biomonitoring Program, 2014 quality assurance project plan, draft for DRBC and EPA review

description: This project plan defines the habitat, benthic macroinvertebrate, and periphyton components of the Delaware River Biomonitoring Program’s  (DRBC) biological monitoring program.  These activities, in addition to physical and chemical data gathering, provide a well-rounded view of water quality conditions in the Delaware River, and provide sufficient data for management decisions. Annual or biennial macroinvertebrate, periphyton, and habitat surveys of accessible river sites, targeting the richest habitats (riffles, runs, island margins), have been used to create a reference baseline of the existing biological community to quantify ecological integrity for the entire 200-mile non-tidal river. This is based on biological criteria  drafted in 2009. Since then, a benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) has been used to assess aquatic life use attainment for the non-tidal portion of the Delaware River.

A slave for two masters
Creators: name: Cuseglio, Ralph
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The aim of this case study is to analyze intense countertransference experienced by a therapist while treating a “difficult to treat” adolescent patient. During treatment, the therapist struggled to recognize much of his subjective countertransference and its impact on the treatment. This paper will discuss the reasons for this and the manner in which both subjective and objective countertransference played a role. In doing so, the therapist discusses how his childhood experiences and the subsequent assumption of Carl Jung’s wounded healer archetype fueled the countertransference in ways that were concurrently beneficial and detrimental to the treatment. The patient’s symptoms, behavior, and family system are also examined to illustrate how they uniquely contributed to the intense feelings evoked in the therapist. Topics of abandonment, omnipotence, curative fantasies, Borderline Personality Disorder, biblical myth, and childhood trauma are explored throughout this paper, as they uniquely intersected to create a complex web of psychodynamics between therapist and patient. This is demonstrated primary through an interpretation of the patient’s final session and the therapist’s dream following treatment. Finally, implications for wounded healers’ self-disclosure are examined, reflections of the treatment are offered, and suggestions made for the recognition and management of countertransference wounded healers are prone to feel while working with ‘difficult to treat’ patients.
A story of illness and identity
Creators: name: Foulkes-Garcia, Alice
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: This phenomenological case study was a first-person practitioner account of an in-home therapist working for a case management organization that provides therapeutic counseling services to children.  The psychosocial development of this 16-year-old Latina female, a recent immigrant to the United States, occurred in a medicalized environment with biological treatments that led to the development of an illness identity and the need for medication to manage emotions.  The case includes a discussion of the side effects of medication, the impact of culture, and role of attachment.  The pharmaceutical industry has invested significant financial resources in the treatment of mental illness and emotional/behavioral disorders in children.  Little is known, however, about the long-term side effects of psychotropic medication in individuals who initiate use at a young age.  This case study argues for a reduction in long-term use of psychotropic medication in children.  The author utilized cognitive behavioral therapeutic techniques to teach coping skills and to reintegrate the child into the community after an extended hospitalization and subsequent residential placement.
