The role of sexualized rejection in men’s body shame and male sexual aggression
Creators: name: Mescher, Kris
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Past research found a link between men’s body shame and their willingness to engage in sexual aggression (Rudman & Mescher, 2010). Further, men who have been bullied (e.g., teased about their sexuality) are more likely to report body shame (Shelton & Liljequist, 2002). The present research tests a causal relationship between rejecting men for homosexuality and sexual aggression. Participants were rejected either for a sexual reason (accused of being gay), for no reason, or they were not rejected (controls) by either a male or female phantom confederate. I predicted that men accused of being gay would show more hostility toward women and female rape victims, and score higher on measures of sexual aggression, compared with the remaining two groups. I expected this pattern to be moderated by men’s body shame and their negative affect in response to rejection. That is, men high on body shame or who reacted negatively to being accused of being gay should be especially likely to retaliate against women. Results demonstrated that men rejected by a female confederate for being gay who were both high on body shame and upset by the manipulation responded with increased sexual aggression, including scoring higher on a behavioral measure of rape (i.e., a rape analogue).

Geryon affinis — Alcock, 1899a: 85 [not Geryon affinis Milne Edwards and Bouvier, 1894].
Material examined. 1 male (CL 146.4 mm, CW 161.1 mm) (IO /SS/BRC/00300), off Alleppey (Kerala), Arabian Sea, FORVSS stn. 32121, 9.25°N 76.17°E, 55 m, coll. Dr. Vinu Jacob, HSDT (CV), 13 December 2013.
Remarks. Alcock (1899a) erroneously reported a female geryonid (110.5 × 126.5 mm) from off Travancore (Kerala) coast at 410–520 m as Geryon affinis. Ghosh and Manning’s re-examination of this specimen(1993)resulted in the establishment of a new species, Chaceon alcocki, characterized by short frontal and anterolateral spines, the absence of distal spines dorsally on the P2–P5 meri, and laterally compressed pereopod dactyli. Jose et al. (2019) reported another female specimen (146 × 156 mm) collected from a commercial trawl landing along Kerala coast, and was reportedly caught at 260–300 m depth.
The present specimen is the first male and the largest specimen reported for this species. The G1 is stout, curved, tapering distally; inner margin is covered with a row of short setae along proximal half, distal quarter with a short spinulose patch terminating sub-distally; outer margin with spinulose patch on distal one-third terminating sub-distally, followed by a small patch of long setae appearing like a spinose projection (Fig. 8J). G2 shorter than G 1 in length,slender, tapering distally, with spinose process subdistally on inner margin (Fig. 8J). Among the closely related congeners, published descriptions of only two species, Chaceon macphersoni Manning and Holthuis, 1988 and Chaceon goreni Galil and Manning, 2001 were supplemented with illustrations of the gonopods. Chaceon alcocki differs from C. macphersoni and C. goreni in the presence of setae on both inner and outer margins (vs. row of setae on inner margin in C. goreni (see Galil and Manning, 2001: fig. 3C–E); absence of setae on either margin in C. macphersoni (see Manning and Holthuis, 1988: fig. 4G, H)).
Distribution. Known only from the southeastern Arabian Sea off Kerala at 50–520 m depths (Ghosh and Manning, 1993; Jose et al., 2019; present study).

The fluidity of race
Creators: name: Molnar, Nicholas Trajano
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: This study is an examination of the American mestizos who lived in the Philippines from 1900 to 1955.  No scholarly studies exist that analyze and historicize this group, but this is understandable, as the population of the American mestizos compared to the overall Filipino population is miniscule, never exceeding 20,000 individuals at any one time.  Despite their small numbers, the American mestizos were a matter of social concern for the Philippine state and the expatriate Americans and Filipino nationalists who resided there.    Various actors in the Philippines carried their own imposed racializations of the group that changed over time, ranging from American expatriates who emphasized the group’s “American” blood to Filipino nationalists who embraced them as Filipinos.  This study will demonstrate that the boundaries of race have been constantly shifting, with no single imposed or self-ascribed American mestizo identity coalescing.  American mestizo racial definitions and constructs are historically and regionally specific, complicating conventional scholarly assumptions and requiring a historically grounded approach to the understanding of race and ethnicity.    This study makes theoretical contributions to the study of race in the United States and its former colonies.  Contemporary literature seeks to explain by what means racial identity is created and maintained.  My study, however, seeks to explore racial formation from another angle, exploring why a distinct group identity never coalesced among the American mestizos despite the presence of similar economic, historical, and social forces that have clearly led to racial formation in other groups.  The concept of the American mestizo and the fluid Philippine racial framework challenged static American notions of race.  I argue that contact with the Philippines led to an assimilation of Filipino racial ideas among American expatriates, who in turn created their own colonialized concepts of race and nationality, demonstrating that under certain historical conditions, American concepts of race had room to bend.  Tracking the transmittal of these hybridized ideas, and their transformations and various interpretations at each venue, allows us to gain insight into the malleability of Philippine and American notions of nation and race, and into the larger processes of racial construction overall.
Physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms associated with drought tolerance in agrostis species

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Improvement of the drought stress tolerance of plants is necessary due to the widespread incidence of drought damage to crop species. Turfgrasses are susceptible to drought damage and may exhibit symptoms of cellular water loss such as wilting, cessation of growth, and other cellular damages resulting in leaf and root senescence. Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) is a high value, drought sensitive turfgrass crop species.  The main goals of the research described in this thesis were to evaluate mechanisms responsible for drought tolerance in turfgrasses by evaluating whole-plant, cellular, proteomic, metabolomic, genetic, and genomic regions associated with drought defense responses.   Part I will focus on how differential hormonal regulation may affect the drought defense responses in turfgrasses. Plant hormones such as cytokinins (CK) are signaling molecules controlling gene expression and the activity of various biochemical pathways. Differential drought-induced regulation of plant hormones is a primary response to prevent cellular desiccation. Drought injury symptoms have been associated with an inhibition in CK synthesis and maintenance of endogenous CK is associated with alleviation of drought damage. Thus, specific objectives related to the effect of elevated CK content in creeping bentgrass during drought stress on 1) whole-plant physiology 2) proteomic 3) metabolic and 4) genetic responses were evaluated. Elevated CK content in the creeping bentgrass plants was achieved by drought induced expression of an ipt transgene encoding the enzyme adenine isopentenyltransferase promoting CK synthesis. The results showed significant modifications of the gene, protein, and metabolite profiles were caused by elevated CK, particularly changes related to energy production, metabolism, and stress defense.   Part II will focus on the identification of genomic regions associated with drought tolerance known as quantitative trait loci (QTL). QTL are large genomic regions that are associated with molecular markers and specific plant phenotypes that can be used in plant breeding strategies. Knowledge of the location of QTLs can help breeders screen large quantities of germplasm for complex traits such as drought tolerance. QTLs for important drought tolerance traits such as relative water content, cellular membrane stability, indexes of turf quality, leaf area, and chlorophyll content were found.
The effects of resolvins on dermal wound healing

description: A classical skin wound healing model can be divided into four distinct phases – instantaneous response, inflammatory, proliferation and the final remodeling phase. The balance between stimulatory and inhibitory mediators in each of these phases is critical in achieving optimal and efficient wound closure. It is well understood that inefficient or untimely resolution of inflammatory responses can result in profound delay in wound closure and increased tissue scarring as in the case with chronic wounds. This thesis studies the impact of exogenous administration of different types of pro inflammation resolution compounds such as Resolvin E1 (RvE1), Resolvin D1 (RvD1) and Resolvin D2 (RvD2) on dermal wound healing mechanism. In vitro migration assay studies performed using neutrophil cells confirmed the pro-resolution behavior of Resolvin compounds. All Resolvin compounds significantly blocked chemoattractant (fMLP) stimulated neutrophil migration. RvE1 demonstrated significantly better potency to block fMLP simulated neutrophil migration as compared to RvD1 and RvD2. This behavior was dose dependent and more pronounced at a concentration of 2000nM. Dorsal full thickness wound studies on wild type mice were performed using skin substitute (Integra Dermal Regenerative® Skin or Alloderm® Regenerative Tissue Matrix) along with administration of 2000nM Resolvin at the wound site. Results from the study revealed that complete wound closure time significantly reduced from 28.6±1.52 days (control) to 19.4±1.52 days with RvE1 treatment, 22.8±1.79 days with RvD2 treatment and 24.4±2.19 days with RvD1 treatment (n=5, p<0.05). Histology of wounds treated with RvE1 at Day 30 revealed a well-structured and repaired site with organized layers of dense collagen and a completely re-epithelized surface as compared to the saline treated wounds (control). These results demonstrate that the addition of Resolvins to a wound site significantly accelerates the wound healing and re-epithelialization process.

description: This paper examines federal disaster policy from America’s colonial past through the present. It shows how this policy evolved from limited, selective intervention to a comprehensive disaster policy. It addresses several important questions: what has been the federal government’s role in dealing with natural disasters and how has this changed over time? Second, why was the federal government, despite a limited role in many areas, involved in disasters (albeit in a limited capacity) from an early time period? Similarly, why has the government continued to have a major role in this area while other areas of the welfare state have been attacked and reduced?        I answer these questions by using an American Political Development approach to examine the historical changes in federal disaster policy and the factors that led to these changes. I use a contextual approach, moving beyond one factor and instead examining multiple factors, to understand the complete context of disaster policy in different time periods and to identify the main factors that led to the expansion of the federal government’s role in dealing with natural disasters. I argue that in order to understand why federal disaster policy was the way that it was during a particular time period, one must understand the context of the situation.        I identify several key factors in the evolution of disaster policy. The expansion of the U.S. in both population and territory, especially into more disaster-prone areas, led to more frequent, costly, and deadly disasters. Traditional areas of response-family, neighbors, churches-were no longer able to adequately respond. Instead, people began looking towards the federal government. This was facilitated by both a growth in the resources and capabilities of the federal government, as well as a shift away from a strictly limited view in government. The result has been a major change in disaster policy, one in which the federal government now assumes the responsibility of preventing and responding to natural disasters throughout the country, and spends billions of dollars every year in the process.

Assessing the role of microRNAs in the suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition by the FRY tumor suppressor gene

Year: 2012

description: The tumor suppressor gene, Fry, induces reversal of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Based on in silico predictions made by Ingenuity Pathway AnalysisTM (IPA), we hypothesized that FRY and microRNAs interact and these interactions link FRY to EMT. In this study we attempted to identify microRNAs that are differentially expressed in breast cancer cells without (MDA-MB-231) and with (231wCFry) ectopic Fry expression. Using TaqMan MicroRNA Array Cards to screen of over 700 microRNAs, we identified 118 microRNAs that were differentially expressed between cells with and without Fry expression. Among the differentially expressed microRNAs, hsa-mir-25, hsa-mir-106b, and hsa-mir-203 were previously associated with EMT. We used IPA to build interaction networks between microRNAs, FRY, and two genes (CACNAID, and NDR1), whose expression levels were tightly correlated with the expression of FRY. This in silico approach suggested that hsa-mir-515 may play a role. However, our results indicated that the expression of has-mir-515 was not significantly changed by ectopic expression of Fry expression in MDA-MB-231 cells. We next chose to investigate hsa-mir-301b, whose  expression was known to be increased in certain cancers. Our results showed hsa-mir-301b expression is decreased 100-fold in MCF-10A and 231wCFry as compared the to the MDA-MB-231 cell line. This correlation suggested that hsa-mir-301b could play a role in tumorigencity of breast cancer, and ectopic expression of Fry may contribute to decreased hsa-mir-301b expression. The microRNA hsa-mir-4728-3p was found to share 83% alignment complementarity to the mRNA nucleotide region 4,561-4,583 of Fry. Expression of hsa-mir-4728-3p was decreased 100-fold in 231wCFry and increased in 2.5-fold in MCF-10A compared to MDA-MB-231 cells. These findings were unexpected given previous studies demonstrating a direct relationship between transcription of hsa-mir-4728-3p and ERRB2. Given that these cell lines do not express ERRB2 the observed increased expression of mir-4728-3p in MCF-10 cells and decrease in expression in 231wCFry compared to MDA-MB-231 was unexpected. The studies described in this thesis indicated ectopic expression of the Fry tumor suppressor gene in the triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line correlates with the expression of numerous microRNAs, including many previously linked to EMT and carcinogenesis.
The effect of lime juice on Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella enterica inactivation during the preparation of raw fish dish ceviche
Creators: name: Mathur, Prateek

description: Ceviche is a Peruvian raw fish dish. It is extremely popular in the South American countries and has recently gained prominence in USA. It can be made with many types of seafood but is most commonly in USA with tilapia. The most characteristic feature of ceviche is the use of lime juice for marinating the raw fish. No ingredient of the dish is cooked in the conventional sense of applying heat. There have been confirmed cases of cholera in Peru, New Jersey and Florida, associated with ceviche. Since lime juice is sole means of controlling risk in ceviche recipes across the world, it is important to study its anti-bacterial effects. Even though the literature is very rich in the use of organic acids as anti-bacterial agents, little data exists for their effect in seafood systems. The objective of the study was to study the anti-bacterial effects of lime juice marination in ceviche as it would be prepared in restaurants or homes. Target pathogens were Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella enetrica. Samples were incubated at room temperature (25°C) and refrigeration temperature (4°C) for time intervals up to 150 minutes.  In experiments with Salmonella at room temperature, a mean log reduction of 0.8 was observed while at refrigeration temperature a mean log reduction of 2.1 was observed.  Reduction in Vibrio parahaemolyticus could only be estimated based on starting levels and detection limits as the plate counts were always below the detection limit for all the times studied (10-150 minutes), both at room and refrigeration temperatures. In experiments at room temperature, log reductions varied from >4.5 to >5.2 while at refrigeration temperature, log reductions varied from >3.5 to >4.3. In experiments testing the inhibitory effect of lime juice, without the fish matrix, more than 5 log reductions in counts was observed on both bacteria.   We conclude that preparing ceviche reduces Vibrio parahaemolyticus risk significantly but is less effective for control of Salmonella enetrica.

Local synonymy: Aetomylaeus maculata— Filewood, 1973: 14 (PNG). Aetomylaeus maculatus— Kailola, 1987: 33 (PNG). Aetomylaeus vespertilio— White et al., 2018: 278, figs (PNG).
PNG voucher material: None.
Remarks: First recorded from PNG by Filewood (1973) as Aetomylaeus maculata. Colour notes by Filewood (1973), i.e. “rear half of disk with pale “eyespots” and black lines”, is distinctive of A. vespertilio and not the white spotted Aetomylaeus maculatus (Gray, 1834). A dried tail recently recorded from a recent catch at the mouth of the Sepik River in East Sepik Province; an old photograph of Filewood’s clearly depicts this species, probably from southern PNG.

Forms of service

description: This dissertation examines how the concept of service shapes representations of community in texts drawn from four key early modern genres: tragedy, court-masque, travel journal, and epic poem. As a condition of bondage central to early modern social experience, service crucially mediated agency and communal identity in both domestic and cross-cultural contexts. Generically varied as they are, early modern tragedy, masque, travel-journal, and epic all share a profound concern with the founding imperatives of communal life. In the texts I study, this concern manifests itself through an exploration of service as an inherently social, but not necessarily sociable concept. Thus, juxtaposing dystopian social critique with utopian idealism, Shakespeare and Middleton’s tragedy, Timon of Athens (1607), presents the break-down of service-relationships as symptomatic of a general ethical crisis affecting the Athenian civic body. Ben Jonson’s royal masque, Gypsies Metamorphosed (1621), also mines the discourse of service to explore competing visions of national community. Service mediated the representation of communal identities in cross-cultural contexts too, as I find in my work on Sir Thomas Roe’s journal account of his trading embassy to the Mughal court in India in 1615-19, and in my reading of Milton’s Paradise Lost as a critique of English imperial ambition. Subscribing to a specifically Anglo-European ideology of service helped expatriate Englishmen like Roe distinguish themselves from the native cultures of service they encountered abroad. Contrarily, Milton’s complex treatment of the trope of Oriental despotism in Paradise Lost troubled such rigid distinctions between English service and alien slavery, even as it foregrounded godly service in the Edenic “new world” as key to just magisterial labor and Christian community. In tracing connections between various literary genres’ treatments of service as a social ethic, I find that these genres do not simply mediate but actively shape the meaning of service, based on their own aesthetic and ideological preoccupations. At once unifying and exclusionary, establishmentarian and utopian, service emerges in my study as a highly contested category, and as such, a perfect vector for diverse constructions of community in the cultural ferment of the early modern era.
Settlement fictions

description: This dissertation traces the emergence of overlooked articulations of the megacity in contemporary postcolonial novels. Representations of non-Western cities and informal settlements or “slums” in global popular culture and Anglophone urban commentary enact a series of elisions -- making poor women and their economic and social activities invisible, allowing the volatile space of the street to stand in for all noteworthy space, and ignoring the progressive energies of slum-based social movements by equating them with religious extremism and other radicalisms. Postcolonial novelists, this dissertation argues, challenge these elisions by crafting what I term settlement fictions: narratives that foreground the unforeseen intra-community relationships, hidden spaces of work and laboring solidarities, and flexible approaches to spatial politics engendered by impoverished megacity life. Analyzing urban images of the Global South in film, journalism, visual culture, and literature, I suggest that contemporary African, Indian, and Caribbean writers, including Chris Abani, Zakes Mda, Rohinton Mistry, and Patrick Chamoiseau, loosen the bonds that have heretofore tightly associated the imagined megacity with the fate of postcolonial nations embedded in a global system of exploitative capitalism. While recognizing the importance of both neoliberalism and colonialism in shaping modern urbanization, the writers I discuss push critics to see non-Western megacities equally as incubators of original urban social practices. My work draws upon theories of everyday practice, transnational governance, the gendering of postmodern labor, and micro-politics to clarify the local, regional, and global significance of these practices.

Sharing personal information in relationships
Creators: name: Magsamen-Conrad, Kate
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Many models, theories, and frameworks of information management (e.g., privacy, disclosure, secrets) incorporate the concept of anticipated response to sharing information. These models, however, do not consistently conceptualize or operationalize anticipated response. This dissertation project consisted of two studies. The first study explored the conceptualization of anticipated response and developed measurement. The second study continued to validate the anticipated response measures created and tested how information, relationship, and response attributes predict anticipated response. Measured variables included anticipated response (emotional reaction, avoidance, reciprocity, and support: emotional, informational, and instrumental), anticipated outcome (discloser-, receiver-, relationship-, and other relationship- oriented), relational evaluation (overall relational quality, relational love, relationship uncertainty), information assessment (information valence, stigma, identity threat), efficacy (general communication efficacy, disclosure efficacy), self-concealment, responsiveness (anticipated responsiveness, prior responsiveness: receiver to discloser, receiver to others, and others to the information), and likelihood of disclosure. Results supported the dimensional structure, validity, and reliability of the anticipated response measure created (the Disclosure Anticipated Response Scale – DARS). The studies additionally verified the utility of information, relationship, and response attributes in predicting anticipated response to disclosure of personal/private information. The dissertation also discusses findings, implications, limitations, and directions for future research. The conceptual and operational clarity of the concept of anticipated response presented in this dissertation will augment existing information management models and contribute to future work in this area.

Eptesicus hottentotus

description: Eptesicus hottentotus (A. Smith 1833)
A single specimen was collected in the Manho forest (1800 m) on the plateau of Mount Namuli. Previously, a single specimen was collected from Chiutu in the Zambezi Valley (Smithers and Lobão Tello, 1976). The species has been extensively recorded across Southern Africa, as far west as Angola, and as far north as Kenya (Simmons, 2005; Monadjem et al., 2010). The species is often associated with mountainous terrain, including records from nearby Mount Mulanje (Kearney et al., 2008). Its occurrence in Afromontane forest on Mount Namuli is therefore somewhat unsurprising.

Year: 2025

description: In the USA, Europe, Canada and West Africa, mechanical damage due to third-party interference has been identified to be a leading cause of pipeline failures. This type of damage results in either a dent, a gouge or a combination of both, known as the combined dent and gouge defect. The combined dent and gouge defect is considered a severe form of mechanical damage as it can lead to immediate rupture of the pipeline structure. The severity of the defect has led to the ASME B31.8 design code prescribing a complete cutout and replacement of the defective section. This paper presents the sensitivity of the combined dent and gouge defect on an API 5L X52 pipe grade to critical parameters such as the defect size, orientation, d/t ratio and pipe geometry. Numerical investigations were performed to ascertain the influence of each of these parameters on the severity of the combined dent and gouge defect. The results from the investigation present a qualitative ranking of the defect parameters considered with the view of providing operators and pipeline asset owners a criticality ranking for the defects to aid repairs of defected structures in a manner that ensures the safe operation of their pipeline.

Function analysis of the Arabidopsis epigenome through integrating genome-wide profiles and cell-type-specific approaches
Creators: name: Luo, Chongyuan

Year: 2012

description: The eukaryotic epigenome is a dynamic ensemble of chromatin modifications andchromatin structure variations. Its complexity demands experimental methods for theglobal profiling of epigenomic features as well as informatics tools that facilitate dataanalyses. I developed Chromatin Immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughputsequencing (ChIP-seq) to interrogate histone modifications in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Using the ChIP-seq and RNA-seq methods, I produced profiles of nine histone modifications and the transcriptome from aerial tissues of mature plants. With ANchored CORrelative Pattern (ANCORP) method, our analysis has delineated 42 chromatin states with distinct chromatin modification patterns. Selected states were tested by re-ChIP assay to validate the co-localization of histone modifications. I identified the enrichment of Gene Ontology, microRNAs and transposable elements in certain chromatin states, which suggests the regulation of these loci with chromatin-related mechanisms. To derive hypotheses regarding the interactions between the epigenome and transcriptome, State-Specific-Effects-Analysis (SSEA) was developed to incorporate quantitative information related to chromatin states to improve the sensitivity of correlative analyses. Combining ANCORP and SSEA, I identified correlations betweenthe quantity of Natural Antisense Transcripts (NATs) and the enrichment of H3K36me2and 5mC marks. Genetic analyses identified Polymerase Associated Factors as potentialregulators for NAT abundance. I further observed evidence for both nuclear- andcytoplasmically-localized NATs. Although some nuclear-localized NATs are known toregulate chromatin-related functions, our results suggest that NATs may not commonlyregulate the cognate locus in cis. Differentiation of distinct cell types is fundamental to the sophisticated body-plan and lifestyle of multicellular organisms. Therefore studying the epigenome in specific cell types is critical for elucidating the function of epigenetic regulation in plant development. I experimented with two different cell/nucleus isolation techniques –Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) and Isolation of Nuclei TAgged in specific Cell Types (INTACT) for performing epigenomic profiling in specific plant cell types. I showed that Arabidopsis root cells labeled with GFP can be effectively isolated withFACS. I initiated the effort to establish a high-throughput and Gateway-compatibleINTACT platform for investigating interactions between key regulators and chromatinmodifications in root cell layers. Our strategy and progress in this front will be described
Development and validation of an improved method for determination of chloropropanols in paperboard food packaging by GC-MS
Creators: name: Liu, Wan-Yun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Paper used for food packaging is often manufactured with wet strength resin additives to impart moisture resistance. Wet strength resins formulated with epichlorohydrin form undesirable chloropropanol type by-products including 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) and 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol(1,3-DCP). Chloropropanols are suspect carcinogens. These compounds were recently added to the California Proposition 65 list (known or suspect human carcinogens) which mandates labeling of products sold in the state of California, creating a dilemma for food packaging processors. Food packaging manufacturers are concerned with migration of chloropropanols from packaging into foods or beverages. Therefore, analytical methods for determination of chloropropanols in paperboard food packaging are of great importance. However, previously described methods are not developed for paperboard food packaging samples, or not for EU standard aqueous extraction study of paperboard samples.  The objective of this research is to develop an improved analytical method for determination of 3-MCPD and 1,3-DCP in paper type food packaging. The refined method uses aqueous extraction, matrix-spiking of a deuterated surrogate internal standard (3-MCPD-d5), cleanup using Extrelut solid phase extraction, derivatization using silylation reagent, and GC-MS analyses of the chloropropanols as their corresponding trimethyl silyl ethers. The new method is applicable to paper type food packaging sample for EU standard aqueous extraction study and aqueous food stimulant migration test. Also, the method uses 10 times less sample size, solvents and reagents than previously described methods, reducing the cost and time for analysis. The derivatization procedure was also improved. The overall validation data suggest the method is precise and rugged. The limit of detection of aqueous extract is 0.010 ppm (w/w) for both 3-MCPD and 1,3-DCP. Analytical system precision is 3.36%RSD for 3-MCPD and 7.65%RSD for 1,3-DCP.  The new method has been applied to the analysis of over 100 commercial paperboard packaging samples. The data is being used to guide development of next generation wet strength resins with reduced chloropropanols content, and also used for risk assessments to calculate VSD (virtual safe dose).
Combining information for heterogeneous studies and rare events studies
Creators: name: Liu, Dungang

Year: 2012

description: This dissertation develops efficient statistical methodologies for combining informationfrom independent sources. The developments focus on two settings where thestudies are heterogeneous or the studies involve rare events. In these settings, the conventionalcombining approaches often lead to inefficient or even invalid statistical inference.In this dissertation, we propose effective and efficient combining approachesusing confidence distributions. The proposed approaches are justified both theoreticallyand numerically. They are also shown to be superior to the conventional approaches.Combining information from multiple studies, often referred to as meta-analysisin the literature, has been used extensively in many fields, including health sciences,social sciences, and others. However, there remain many unresolved problems on howto effectively and efficiently combine information. For example, • Heterogeneous studies – When the effect of interest is not estimable in heterogeneous studies (e.g., indirect evidence), how can we utilize these studies to perform meta-analysis? • Rare events studies – For clinical trials with rare events, how can we perform meta-analysis and incorporate studies with zero events in the analysis without using artificial continuity corrections or relying on large sample theory? To address these challenging but recurrent problems, this dissertation develops newmeta-analysis approaches based on combining confidence distributions. Roughly speaking,a confidence distribution refers to a sample-dependent distribution function onthe parameter space with desirable inferential properties in terms of repeated samplingperformance. It can be viewed as a frequentist counterpart to the posterior distributionin Bayesian inference. In this dissertation, we show the combination of confidence distributionshas desirable properties which are lacking in the conventional approaches. Specifically, 1) in the presence of heterogeneous studies, the proposed approach integrates direct and indirect evidence and achieves asymptotic efficiency; 2) for rare event studies, the proposed approach yields exact inference and incorporates all the studies in the analysis without using artificial continuity corrections for zero events. These properties are demonstrated numerically in simulation studies and real data examples, including flight landing safety data collected by the Federal Aviation Administration and drug safety data collected in diabetes clinical trials.
