description: Studies of African American English (AAE) structure have historically placed significantemphasis on its system of tense and aspect, and have done so for good reason. In the interest of developing a comprehensive descriptive analysis of the variety’s syntactic and semantic features, research on the syntactic constructions and functional grammatical items that distinguish it from other English varieties continues to bring about new insights into the different elements that make up a system of tense and aspect, as well as how these elements interact with other parts of the grammar—not only in AAE but crosslinguistically. One of these elements is the verbal marker BIN, which situates part of an event in the remote past, as shown in (1).
(1) Jane BIN saw that movie.‘Jane saw that movie a long time ago.’

This paper further investigates both the function of and restrictions on the aspectual marker BIN in African American English (AAE) using acceptability judgment data collected in an online survey of AAE speakers. With this study, I aim to contribute to thetheoretical description of the verbal system of AAE (L. J. Green, 1993) and its system of tense and aspect. The judgment task will identify patterns of acceptability surrounding the following two factors: event type and whether the verb receives progressive or past tense marking. Using a generative-constructivist semantic framework (Ramchand, 2008), I hypothesize that the semantic information represented by the aspectual marker BIN will either allow or disallow certain combinations of event structure and progressiveness, and these restrictions may be demonstrated to be systematic according to the erb classes proposed byRamchand (2008). Additionally, based on the survey data and the approach to the decomposition of event structure regarding Outer and Inner aspect proposed by (Travis, 2010), I will propose that restrictions on BIN and ambiguity between structures containing BIN can be accounted for syntactically based on the configurations of both grammatical and lexical aspect.

IMPORTANCE OF TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS IN EXPLAINING FISH COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN AGRICULTURAL HEADWATER STREAMS

Subjects: Freshwater ecology

description: Agricultural headwater streams in the Midwestern United States are subject to contaminants from fields, increased sedimentation, and degradation of natural habitat. Previous research has shown that physical instream habitat degradation better explained variation in fish community structure than water chemistry. However, these studies did not include total suspended solids (TSS), which are considered a major freshwater contaminant. The objective of this study is to determine whether total suspended solids better explains fish community structure than other variables in agricultural headwater streams. Mixed linear effects modeling was used to determine the set of independent variables that best predicts each of the fish response variables of species richness, Shannon diversity index, fish density, and index of biotic integrity. Standardized coefficients were used to determine which independent variable in each of the models had the largest influence on fish response metrics. The set of independent variables that best explained species richness were mean total suspended solids, imidacloprid, discharge, and substrate richness. Shannon diversity index was explained best by the combination of maximum total suspended solids, mean total suspended solids, atrazine, total nitrogen, and discharge. Fish density was explained best by the percentage of silt and clay, dissolved oxygen, the percentage of canopy cover, cover type richness, and discharge. IBI was explained best by the combination of the percentage of silt and clay, total phosphorus, mean total suspended solids, and dissolved oxygen. Total suspended solids was the most influential independent variable for fish species richness and Shannon diversity, however the percentage of silt and clay in benthic sediments was the most influential independent variable for fish density and IBI. Results also indicate discharge and total phosphorus as being influential to fish community metrics. The results from this study suggest that models containing a combination of different types of independent variables best explain fish community structure. This study supports the use of conservation and restoration practices that reduce total suspended solids and the amount of silt and clay present in bed sediments to increase fish community integrity of agricultural headwater streams of the Midwestern United States.
Biological Fitness: A Discussion of Definintions and Metrics

description: The concept of biological fitness is foundational for our understanding of both ecology and evolution. Fitness is often described vaguely as an organism’s contribution to the next generation. The reason this is vague is because researchers define and measure fitness differently across fields. I suggest that the myriad definitions and ways to measure fitness commonly employed have led to debates and, seemingly contradictory results. In order to investigate the use of the concept of fitness, I performed a literature review and asked, (1) How is biological fitness defined and used by researchers? (2) How is fitness actually measured by researchers? To address these questions, I surveyed 478 papers published between 2012 and 2016, that included the word ‘fitness’ in the title, and were in the Web of Science categories of ‘ecology’ and ‘evolutionary biology’. In my analysis of the journal articles fitness was only defined 33% of the time. Among studies that did explicitly define fitness, I categorized 18 different definitions, though only 7 were found in more than 5% of papers. I also found differences in how fitness was measured. I found 87 measurements that I grouped into 13 categories. In addition to my survey of the literature, I performed an experiment to explore the relationship between different measures of fitness. Vegetative biomass and reproductive biomass are often both used as metrics of fitness by plant ecologists. In this experiment I determined the relationship between two popular measures of plant fitness vegetative biomass and reproductive yield. I found that these two proxies for plant fitness, vegetative biomass and reproduction, were unimodally related, meaning: 1) intermediate sized plants have the greatest reproductive output, and; 2) for any unique amount of reproduction there is both a small and a large plant with identical reproductive output. Two things emerge from the literature review and the experiment: first, given the many definitions that exist, researchers should be clear about which one they are using. Second, one must be clear about the expected relationship between proxy measurements and fitness, as it may be complex, or non-existent.

Activist Technical Communication at Girls' Technology Camps: Building Girls' Confidence in Digital Literacies

Subjects: Technical writing

description: Activist Technical Communication at Girls’ Technology Camps: Building Girls’ Confidence in Digital Literacies presents a mixed-method empirical study investigating the capacity of a girls’ summer technology camp, Girls Go Digital, to foster girls’ confidence and interest in STEM subjects. I build on the work of a growing number of university technical communication and composition programs hosting local digital camps for middle school-aged girls, responding to the gap in STEM confidence that grows between boys and girls after middle school. My dissertation works in partnership with a large, national, for-profit version of these camps, and I utilize a community engagement approach. Though some may see the aims of a for-profit tech camp as incompatible with engagement ethics, I argue that we ought not to ignore the potential for community impact offered by their resources and reach. With a camp design targeted to reach girls who may feel discouraged by a mixed gender setting, a week of camp at Girls Go Digital leads to statistically significant positive impacts on girls’ confidence in their technology skills, as well as attitudes relating to technology. These findings contribute not only to strategies for technofeminist interventions, but also to the growing body of technical communication scholarship with social justice aims. In order to build girls’ confidence at camp, technical instruction is intertwined with instructors’ roles as emotionally supportive mentors for their campers. Complicating technical communication’s prioritization of clarity and efficiency, my study suggests that for girls learning STEM subjects, and for many other disenfranchised audiences, truly effective technical communication must also be trust-building advocacy work.

Rees algebras and fiber cones of modules
Creators: name: Costantini, Alessandra
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Algebra and number theory

description: In the first part of this thesis, we study Rees algebras of modules. We investigate their Cohen-Macaulay property and their defining ideal, using generic Bourbaki ideals. These were introduced by Simis, Ulrich and Vasconcelos in [65], in order to characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of Rees algebras of modules. Thanks to this technique, the problem is reduced to the case of Rees algebras of ideals. Our main results are the following.
In Chapters 3 and 4 we consider a finite module E over a Gorenstein local ring R. In Theorem 3.2.4 and Theorem 4.3.2, we give sufficient conditions for E to be of linear type, while Theorem 4.2.4 provides a sufficient condition for the Rees algebra R(E) of E to be Cohen-Macaulay. These results rely on properties of the residual intersections of a generic Bourbaki ideal I of E, and generalize previous work of Lin (see [46, 3.1 and 3.4]). In the case when E is an ideal, Theorem 4.2.4 had been previously proved independently by Johnson and Ulrich (see [39, 3.1]) and Goto, Nakamura and Nishida (see [20, 1.1 and 6.3]).
In Chapter 5, we consider a finite module E of projective dimension one over k[X1, . . . , Xn]. Our main result, Theorem 5.2.6, describes the defining ideal of R(E), under the assumption that the presentation matrix φ of E is almost linear, i.e. the entries of all but one column of φ are linear. This theorem extends to modules a known result of Boswell and Mukundan on the Rees algebra of almost linearly presented perfect ideals of height 2 (see [5, 5.3 and 5.7]).
The second part of this thesis studies the Cohen-Macaulay property of the special fiber ring F(E) of a module E. In Theorem 6.2.14, we prove that the generic Bourbaki ideals of Simis, Ulrich and Vasconcelos allow to reduce the problem to the case of fiber cones of ideals, similarly as for Rees algebras. We then provide sufficient conditions for F(E) to be Cohen-Macaulay. Our Theorems 6.2.15, 6.1.3 and 6.2.18 are module versions of results proved for the fiber cone of an ideal by Corso, Ghezzi, Polini and Ulrich (see [10, 3.1] and [10, 3.4]) and by Monta˜no (see [47, 4.8]), respectively.

description: The protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis is responsible for more than 280 million cases of gastrointestinal complaints (“giardiasis”) every year, worldwide. Infections are acquired orally, mostly via uptake of cysts in contaminated drinking water. After transformation into the trophozoite stage, parasites start to colonize the duodenum and upper jejunum where they attach to the intestinal epithelium and replicate vegetatively. Outcome of Giardia infections vary between individuals, from self-limiting to chronic, and asymptomatic to severely symptomatic infection, with unspecific gastrointestinal complaints. One proposed mechanism for pathogenesis is the breakdown of intestinal barrier function. This has been studied by analyzing trans-epithelial electric resistances (TEER) or by indicators of epithelial permeability using labeled sugar compounds in in vitro cell culture systems, mouse models or human biopsies and epidemiological studies. Here, we discuss the results obtained mainly with epithelial cell models to highlight contradictory findings. We relate published studies to our own findings that suggest a lack of barrier compromising activities of recent G. duodenalis isolates of assemblage A, B, and E in a Caco-2 model system. We propose that this epithelial cell model be viewed as mimicking asymptomatic infection. This view will likely lead to a more informative use of the model if emphasis is shifted from aiming to identify Giardia virulence factors to defining non-parasite factors that arguably appear to be more decisive for disease.

description: Since the eradication of smallpox and the subsequent discontinuation of the worldwide smallpox vaccination program, other Orthopoxviruses beside Variola virus have been increasingly representing a risk to human health. To investigate the extent of natural contact with Orthopoxviruses and possible demographic risk factors for such an exposure, we performed a cross-sectional serosurvey of anti-Orthopoxvirus IgG antibodies in West and Central Africa. To this end, people living in forest regions in Côte d’Ivoire (CIV, n = 737) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (COD, n = 267) were assigned into groups according to their likely smallpox vaccination status. The overall prevalence of anti-Orthopoxvirus antibodies was 51% in CIV and 60% in COD. High rates of seropositivity among the vaccinated part of the population (80% in CIV; 96% COD) indicated a long-lasting post vaccination immune response. In non-vaccinated participants, seroprevalences of 19% (CIV) and 26% (COD) indicated regular contact with Orthopoxviruses. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the antibody level in the vaccinated part of the population was higher in COD than in CIV, increased with age and was slightly higher in females than males. In the unvaccinated part of the population none of these factors influenced antibody level significantly. In conclusion, our results confirm expectedly high anti-Orthopoxvirus seroprevalences in previously smallpox-vaccinated people living in CIV and the COD but more unexpectedly imply regular contact with Orthopoxviruses both in Western and Central Africa, even in the absence of recognized outbreaks.

description: National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs) provide independent, evidence-informed advice to assist their governments in immunization policy formation. This is complex work and many NITAGs face challenges in fulfilling their roles. Inter-country NITAG collaboration opportunities have the potential to enhance NITAG function and grow the quality of recommendations. Hence the many requests for formation of a network linking NITAGs together so they can learn from each other. The first Global NITAG Network (GNN) meeting, held in 2016, led to a push to launch the GNN and grow the network. At the second GNN meeting, held June 28–29, 2017 in Berlin, the GNN was formally inaugurated. Participants discussed GNN governance, reflected on the April 2017 Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization conclusions concerning strengthening of NITAGs and also shared NITAG experiences in evaluation and inter-country collaborations and independence. They also discussed the role of Regional Technical Advisory Groups on Immunization (RTAGs) and regional networks. A number of issues were raised including NITAGs and communications, dissemination of recommendations and vaccine implementation as well as implications of off-label recommendations. Participants were alerted to immunization evidence assessment sites and value of sharing of resources. They also discussed potential GNN funding opportunities, developed an action plan for 2017–18 and selected a Steering Committee to help move the GNN forward. All participants agreed on the importance of the GNN and the value in attracting more countries to join the GNN.

description: Darmkrebs gehört zu den drei häufigsten Krebserkrankungen bei Frauen und Männern in Deutschland. Es existieren verschiedene gesetzlich verankerte Untersuchungen zur Früherkennung von Darmkrebs. Personen im Alter von 50 bis 54 Jahren können jährlich einen Test auf verstecktes Blut im Stuhl durchführen lassen. Ab 55 Jahren wird angeboten, diesen Test alle zwei Jahre im Rahmen der Krebsfrüherkennung zu wiederholen oder alternativ an einer Früherkennungskoloskopie (präventive Darmspiegelung) teilzunehmen, die bei unauffälligem Befund nach zehn Jahren wiederholt werden kann. Eine Koloskopie wird aber auch durchgeführt, um Beschwerden oder andere Erkrankungen abzuklären (kurative Darmspiegelung). In der Studie GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS wurde der Zeitpunkt der letzten Darmspiegelung durch die Selbstangabe der Befragten erfasst. Der Grund für diese Untersuchung wurde aber nicht erfragt. 57 % der Frauen und 61 % der Männer im Alter ab 55 Jahren gaben an, dass bei ihnen innerhalb der letzten 10 Jahre eine Darmspiegelung durchgeführt wurde. Neue gesetzliche Regelungen sehen den Ausbau der bestehenden Früherkennungsuntersuchungen für Darmkrebs zu einem organisierten und qualitätsgesicherten Früherkennungsprogramm vor.
School-Time for Girls: The Depiction of Female Education in Late Nineteenth-Century American School Stories

description: This dissertation defines the literary genre of the American school story for girls from approximately 1845 to 1910. While recent critical studies have examined the American common school story or the women’s college novel, no scholar has surveyed the genre of American school stories for girls in the second half of the nineteenth century. Instead, the British school story tradition, such as the Tom Brown’s School Days series and twentieth-century girls’ boarding school stories such as those by Angela Brazil, has overshadowed the American genre. I also argue that the study of the girl’s book has focused on domestic (family) stories over the school story. By defining the American school story for girls, this project fills a critical gap and argues for how the school story is an important subgenre of the girl’s book that depicts the nineteenth-century girl in an educational environment with new personal and professional opportunities. The first half of the dissertation provides a genre and historical overview, while the second half consists of case studies of specific educational sites and types of experience. The first chapter provides a guiding definition of the school story and examines its subgenres. I split the school story into the following subgenres: the common story school, the seminary or boarding school story, and the college novel, and describe their common tropes and characters. The second chapter details the history of American women’s education and provides relevant examples of fictional school depictions. In chapter three, I analyze girls’ seminary (boarding school) schools including The Boarding-School Girl (1848) by Louisa C. Tuthill, Hester Stanley at St. Mark's (1882) by Harriet Prescott Spofford, and Betty Baird (1906) by Anna Hamlin Weikel. This chapter argues for the religious, personal, and professional goals that motivated the girl characters to attend school, and how the fiction depicted society’s expectations for these girls. Finally, chapter four examines three Vassar-focused college novels, specifically the first two books in The Three Vassar Girls series (1883-1892) by Elizabeth W. Champney and Julia A. Schwartz’s Elinor’s College Career (1906), to argue that the college experience created networks to help further the lives of women, while also working to maintain homogeneity.

description: The plethora of potential homemade explosive (HME) formulations combined with the fact they often exhibit large critical diameters make them expensive to characterize with traditional large-scale tests. A relatively new method for small-scale characterization was investigated using non-ideal explosive charges consisting of ammonium nitrate (AN) and various fuels. This optical characterization technique utilizes the rate of reaction wave velocity decay in the failing detonations of sub-critical diameter charges as a metric for the shock sensitivity of an explosive. The conditions for detonation initiation and failure have long been used to investigate shock sensitivity (critical diameter, gap tests, run-to-detonation experiments); however, the failure regime still remains largely unexplored. The utility of this small-scale characterization technique lies in its ability to determine the relative shock sensitivity of explosive with minimal material and tests while simultaneously providing transient velocity data for potential use in modeling efforts. In this work, high speed imaging was used and analyzed to determine rates of reaction wave velocity decay in the AN-fuel samples. Among the fuels tested with AN were diesel (ANFO), nitromethane (ANNM), and aluminum (ANAl). It was found that nitromethane was the most effective at sensitizing the AN of the systems considered. In both ANNM and ANAl, maximum shock sensitivity occurred at fuel percentages below stoichiometric mixtures. This was speculated to be due to the competing effects of stoichiometry and hot spot criticality. Sensitivity results were compared to run-to-failure distances and published critical diameter trends and showed good agreement.

description: Dedicated industry professionals from design, construction, and health care are working to provide attractive, constructible, functional and safe home modifications for aging in place. The commitment is to keep senior members of local communities in the homes they love, rather than to segregate them into big box retirement communities. This study explores the confidence level of both individuals interested in aging place for themselves and their friends and family members in aging in place modifications. In additions to those interested in aging in place for themselves and their friends and family members, invested professionals from design, construction and health care are surveyed to measure their confidence in common modifications. A 3d walkthrough is tested to investigate if confidence levels increase with the use of a walkthrough to communicate recommended modifications.
 Friends and family members of those intending to age in place were significantly more concerned about the safety of their aging person, than the aging person themselves. Those friends and family members were also more impacted by viewing the video walkthrough than any of the other groups.

description: Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and consequent dormancy present a significant clinical challenge due to recurrence and relapse. It is thus pivotal to understand the mechanisms which can reawaken the dormant cancer cells into a proliferative phenotype, and to develop effective therapeutic strategies to eradicate the minimal residual disease. Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 (FGFR1) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) which is amplified in MBC and plays a key role in cancer cell plasticity. Interestingly, while dormant cancer cells also exhibit high FGFR1 expression levels; still, mere FGFR1 alone is insufficient to drive proliferation without FGF2 ligand induced receptor activation. In accordance with previous data, we report elevated levels of FGF2 in serum of mice with diet induced obesity (DIO), thereby indicating a potential link between obesity and dormancy breakage. We demonstrate that serum from obese animals, exogenous FGF2 stimulation, or constitutive stimulation through autocrine and paracrine FGF2 is sufficient to induce proliferation and drive pulmonary outgrowth of the dormant D2OR model. Additionally, blockade of FGFR signaling via FGFR kinase inhibitors prevented ligand induced outgrowth of the D2OR model. Importantly, FGFR1 overexpression in normal mammary epithelial cells also requires FGF2 signaling to induce transformation suggesting that mere FGFR1 amplification alone is not a driving event.Despite elevated FGFR1 expression levels in dormant and metastatic breast cancer, FGFR kinase inhibitors have been unsuccessful in inducing a significant therapeutic response in FGFR1-amplified setting, potentially due to the inability of targeting the kinase-independent functions of FGFR1. In our study, we explored the use of G-quadruplex (G4) stabilizers as epigenetic therapeutics to limit FGFR1 expression, thus targeting both kinase-dependent and independent functions of the receptor. Our findings demonstrate that, in contrast to the FDA approved FGFR-kinase inhibitors, G4 stabilizers significantly reduce the viability of dormant cells in 3D culture models. Additionally, the G4 stabilizers effectively suppressed the expression of other oncogenes such as PDGFR and MYC, which is advantageous given the heterogeneous nature of dormant and MBC cells. The results from our findings suggest that FGF2:FGFR1 signaling acts as a key molecular mechanism in modulating dormancy and breast cancer progression. Additionally, G4 stabilizers hold promise as a novel therapeutic approach to target and eliminate dormant breast cancer cells, potentially reducing the risk of relapse and improving long-term patient outcomes.

description: Soft robots, which leverage flexible, stretchable, and smart materials, are relevant to numerous applications that traditional robots struggle with, such as search-and-rescue, human-robot interaction, and exploration. Since soft robots are composed of soft materials, they are inherently more robust to impacts and falls than their rigid counterparts. Additionally, soft structures are inherently safer for human-robot interaction. While clever use of soft materials offers many advantages, it complicates the control of soft robotic systems. Many of the control strategies that have been established for traditional robotic systems cannot be readily used for soft systems due to the difficulties in modeling soft systems. These control strategies require sensory feedback that can reliably provide the state of the system. However, obtaining sensory feedback from soft robotic systems is non-trivial. It has only been in the past few years that soft sensor technology has begun integrating with soft structures to try to provide the proprioceptive data needed to implement control strategies. This thesis focuses on the use of sensory feedback to compensate for the complex behavior of a soft system. In order to accomplish sensory feedback, multiple soft sensor types were investigated and integrated into soft robotic systems. Simplified analytical models were developed to help design soft systems and to interpret the state from the collected sensory data for use in feedback controllers. These simplified models also allowed the implementation of feedforward controllers. Additionally, this body of work demonstrates how sensory feedback can be used to inform feedforward controllers of certain model parameters.
