New computational aspects of discrepancy theory
Creators: name: Nikolov, Aleksandar
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The main focus of this thesis work is computational aspects of discrepancy theory. Discrepancy theory studies how well discrete objects can approximate continuous ones. This question is ubiquitous in mathematics and computer science, and discrepancy theory has found numerous applications.  In this thesis work, we (1) initiate the study of the polynomial time approximability of central discrepancy measures: we prove the first hardness of approximation results and design the first polynomial time approximation algorithms for combinatorial and hereditary discrepancy. We also (2) make progress on longstanding open problems in discrepancy theory, using insights from computer science: we give nearly tight hereditary discrepancy lower bounds for axis-aligned boxes in higher dimensions, and for homogeneous arithmetic progressions. Finally, we have (3) found new applications of discrepancy theory to (3a) fundamental questions in private data analysis and to (3b) communication complexity.  In particular, we use discrepancy theory to design nearly optimal efficient algorithms for counting queries, in all parameter regimes considered in the literature.  We also show that discrepancy lower bounds imply communication lower bounds for approximation problems in the one-way model.  Directions for further research and connections to expander graphs, compressed sensing, and the design of approximation algorithms are outlined.
Comparative neurotoxicities of amphotericin B and amphotericin B methyl ester in mice and on oligodendrocytes in culture

description: Amphotericin B methyl ester (AME) similar to Amphotericin B (AMB), is a macrolide antibiotic highly effective against complex systemic fungal infections. Clinical data suggested AME was neurotoxic, but subsequent analysis of lots used in its only clinical-trial revealed contamination with AMB and multi-methylated AMB-derivatives. Accruing evidence suggests AMB not highly-purified AME causes neurotoxicity, thus, it is likely that AMB contributed to neurotoxicity observed during the AME trials. Preliminary assessment of adult Balb/c mice given alternate day intraperitoneal (i.p) AME to mimic the human dose used (5 mg/kg of body weight [b.w]) compared with similarly treated AMB mice was carried out after 1-month and 2-months of injections. Light microscopy of cerebral white matter stained with hematoxylin/eosin and luxol fast blue suggested AME caused less demyelination than AMB.  AMB induced CNS demyelination persisted after 3-months of drug-cessation following 2-months of injections. The nuclear area factor (NAF) analysis of AMB-brains provides preliminary data that AMB may cause apoptotic change in cerebral white matter of mice. Myelin lesions were absent in AME-brains, and even after 5-months of day i.p treatment of adult mice with 7-mg/kg b.w of AME alone, ultrastructural myelin changes were minimal.  Differentiated human oligodendrocyte cell line (MO3.13) exposed to 0.5-30µg/ml AMB or AME for 24 hours demonstrated a progressive increase in cytotoxicity as determined by dye exclusion. The lowest concentration of AMB to induce cell injury was 1µg/ml, whereas injury first appeared in AME-exposed cells at10 µg/ml, a concentration far exceeding those expected in clinical use. AMB at1µg/ml showed apoptotic nuclear change in cells colocalizing for propidium iodide and fluorescein diacetate. Confirmation with Hoechst and fluorescent inhibition of caspases labeling revealed a significant decrease in the NAF and an increase in caspase-3 and -9 activity, suggesting induction of the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. AMB also caused increased cytochrome c release with a significant loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨΜ) that was refractory to rescue with Trolox as determined with JC-1 dye. Cytotoxicity was not observed in similarly treated AME-cells. Our data suggests that AMB, but not AME may induce oligodendrocytes cytotoxicity and mitochondrial damage, eventually diminishing ΔΨΜ with consequent apoptosis.

description: With the advent of a time of intense focus on the use of teacher evaluation in the United States as a mechanism for both formative development of teachers and summative actions affecting their careers, schools, districts, and states have rushed to implement new, enhanced systems of teacher observation and evaluation throughout the country. As many of these new programs are in their infancy, little attention has been paid to how the data generated within these new systems are being used, and what factors affect the usability of such data. While the research literature has focused on data use in the form of data driven decision making in other areas of education (see, e.g., Marsh, Pane & Hamilton, 2006) as well as on improving the reliability and validity of teacher evaluation (see, e.g., Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 2013), studying how teachers use evaluation data is a relatively unexplored field.    Using survey and qualitative focus group data from one state’s teacher evaluation pilot program, this study explores the ways in which teachers participating in a new evaluation system perceive their data use from observations. Additionally, teacher perceptions around how a number of affective factors –such as time, observer capacity, trust, and data quality, among others –play a role in influencing their ability to use data are explored. These questions help to support the conceptual framework and theory of action presented in the study.    The study finds that teachers see themselves using data in three main ways: to improve practice, to learn about the system, and non-use of data. Additionally, teachers believed that many system functions, as well as data quality issues, were important factors that facilitated or hindered their ability to use the data delivered to them from their observation sessions.  The study concludes by developing several hypothetical relationships between these factors and teacher data use, as well as acknowledging study limitations and avenues for further research.
Cross talk between macrophages and glioma stem cells

description: Given its extremely poor prognosis, there is a pressing need for improved understanding of the biology of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), including the roles of tumor subpopulations, such as macrophages, that contribute to tumor growth and therapeutic resistance. DNA alkylating agents, such as temozolomide and carmustine, are the current gold standard drug treatment for GBM, yet resistance occurs and is attributable to a subset of cancer stem cells (CSCs). The mechanisms by which the CSC state is produced and promotes drug resistance are not well understood, but molecular pathways are beginning to emerge. We investigated the interplay between CSCs and macrophages via co-culture. The results showed that macrophages communicate with and influence CSC functions via a paracrine loop.  Specifically, the levels of an M2 macrophage-specific secreted cytokine, TGF-β1, were elevated in the presence of CSCs, but whether the cells were plated as contacting or non-contacting co-cultures did not affect the results.  Furthermore, co-culturing with CSCs resulted in enhanced expression of M2 markers in macrophages that were previously polarized to the M1 phenotype.  A major player in the cross talk is the inflammatory transcription factor, STAT3, produced by CSCs, which recruits and subsequently modulates macrophages to become immunosuppressive, maintaining CSC stemness. Another intriguing target is the transcription factor, HIF-2α, the expression of which is markedly increased in hypoxic CSCs. Here, we utilized short interfering RNA (siRNA) to silence CSC targets. For the delivery of siRNA cargo, cationic amphiphilic macromolecule (CAM) – lipid complexes were co-developed. We discovered that addition of certain levels of lipid induces pH-dependent instabilities that promote intracellular delivery and release from endosomes, leading to efficient gene silencing. We utilized these CAM-lipid complexes or Lipofectamine for silencing experiments. It was observed in both glioblastoma patient and cell line-derived CSCs that neurosphere formation, proliferation rate, chemoresistance, migration towards macrophage conditioned media, and matrix degradation were elevated compared to bulk tumor. Addition of STAT3 siRNA potentiated modestly the effects of carmustine on CSCs. HIF-2α siRNA had a significant effect on hypoxic CSC functions and induced their differentiation. Thus, disrupting CSC stemness or their cross talk with macrophages may be viable avenues for next-generation cancer therapeutics.

description: As the wireless and electronic devices become indispensable to human life, both industry and academia are struggling to investigate new ideas to decrease size and improve performance. Recently there has been an increased interest in artificial materials called metamaterials due to their unique properties including size reduction of devices for wireless and other electronic systems. We have demonstrated using this type of structure, which is called a composite right/left-handed or CRLH structure, in a very compact band-pass filter, which is a crucial part of any electronic system, including cellular phones and Wi-Fi transmitters and receivers. More advanced forms of filters with enhanced capability and more adaptable to future electronics will be investigated based on the CRLH structure. The sponsoring company, other electronic companies and user community of wireless and electronic devices will all benefit when the new filters are successfully demonstrated as they provide better performance in future wireless devices.

description: Millimeter-waves are known to have the ability to “see through” adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, smoke and dust. Thus, the development of novel millimeter-wave RF front ends are desired in order to distribute high performance practical radar and communication systems. In addition to this well-marketed benefit, systems developed at these higher frequencies can be smaller, lighter, and have a lower profile while achieving better resolutions for implementing target detection or interference suppression algorithms. This effort proposes to leverage on these operational benefits of millimeter-wave systems in combination with the recent development of metamaterial technology to develop a highly functional front end antenna structure capable of advanced beam control capability for future millimeter-wave system application. The focus will be to implement the concept of an electronically controlled metamaterial structure to create a multi-functional metamaterial leaky-wave antenna that can be applied to conformal surfaces to achieve large fields of vision for platforms such as large or small aircraft and other mobile vehicles. The innovative concepts proposed in this study will be validated through simulation and prototype development with a transition map into the development of millimeter-wave metamaterial structures.

description: Microsystems are emerging as a multi-billion dollar industry with widespread applications in defense, infrastructure, housing, aerospace and medical systems. The field is expanding because of an ever-widening range of electrical, mechanical and optical devices which are designed to provide sensing, actuation, communication and rapid chemical/biological analysis. In order for these devices to operate autonomously, they must have “on-board” power where the size of the power source matches the miniaturization of the system. For most applications, this requires power sources which are a few millimeters in size. Although batteries possess sufficient energy and power densities to satisfy the needs of the power sources, they have proven to be ineffective when confined to such small areas. Our approach to this problem is to redesign the battery and to take advantage of the “vertical” dimension. 3D battery architectures represent a new approach for miniaturized power sources that are purposely designed to maintain small areas and yet provide sufficient power and energy density to operate the autonomous devices. While we have made great strides in developing this technology, we have not yet been able to fabricate the types of rechargeable batteries required for autonomous devices. The proposed research addresses the principal limitations which have prevented us from successfully fabricating secondary lithium ion batteries with 3D architectures. In this program we focus on two topics, electrolyte thin films which separate the anode and cathode and the development of new electrode structures that provide high energy density. The successful outcome of our research will impact the development of microsystem applications.
Strategies for improving growth factor function in diabetic wounds
Creators: name: Olekson, Melissa Ann
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) are debilitating non-healing wounds that often lead to amputation. The dermal scaffold is a promising treatment strategy that provides a template for cell migration and vascularization. Nevertheless, they fail in many instances due to the pro-inflammatory state of the wound, which includes increased matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) that degrade growth factors. MMPs act on both endogenous and exogenous growth factors that are added to the wound to aid in healing. Therefore, the goal of this project is to improve growth factor treatments delivered in dermal scaffolds by specifically packaging them to survive the diabetic milieu. The growth factor used here, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a chemokine that binds to the CXCR4 receptor on stem and progenitor cells; it is down-regulated in diabetes. This dissertation aims to improve SDF-1 action by blocking the pro-inflammatory receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) pathway with soluble RAGE (sRAGE) and improve SDF-1 persistence using a liposome delivery system. To test the effectiveness of SDF-1, a transwell migration assay was developed, where Human Leukemia-60 (HL-60) cells, that contain the CXCR4 receptor, migrate through a porous membrane towards a supply of SDF-1. The major finding using this assay was that, as SDF-1 increases, percent cell migration increases. In addition, when HL-60 cells are pre-treated with 25mM extra glucose in cell media for 24 hours, cell migration decreased compared to cells cultured with plain media and media supplemented with L-glucose. sRAGE treatment reversed this impairment and restored migration. The mechanism causing this phenomenon is the increased superoxide ion (O2-) in increased glucose cultures, which was measured through dihydroethidium. The SDF-1 liposomes were created using standard self assembly methods and also induced HL-60 cell migration in the transwell. SDF-1 liposomes maintained the induction of a calcium response associated with SDF-1 signaling. The SDF-1 liposomes also rapidly and uniformly infiltrated dermal scaffolds Alloderm® and Integra®. In an in vivo diabetic excisional wound model, sRAGE alone was not enough to restore SDF-1 function. However, SDF-1 liposomes sped up wound closure by 1 week over the controls through increased dermal cell proliferation and promotion of wound contraction.

description: Our interest is to develop and test novel strategies to mobilize and direct a person’s own immune system in combating breast cancer. In this approach we isolate immune cells from the patient and stimulate them with purified proteins or protein fragments from the cancer cells. The critical factors to be resolved are the type of lymphocyte to be used, the specific cancer antigen providing the most vigorous response, and the strategy for reintroducing the lymphocytes and supplementary cells back to the patient. We speculate that CD4+ T helper cells, after exposing the cells to fragments of the HER-2/neu oncogene protein, will cause measurable destruction of breast tumor cells. Furthermore, we believe that this will improve the survival for patients whose tumors carry HER-2/neu. The use of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) has been previously emphasized, but we predict that using treatment with T helper cells, will improve the outcome over CTL alone.

 We will pursue three specific aims. First, we would like to determine the major protein fragments of HER-2/neu that effectively stimulate T helper cells. For this purpose, we will try to stimulate normal T cells from normal individuals or breast cancer patients who do not have high levels of HER-2/neu in their tumor, and thus have never encountered these fragments. We will first isolate "professional" antigen-presenting cells called "dendritic cells" from the blood. Two complementary strategies will be used to "load" the dendritic cells, so that they can stimulate the T helper cells. Then, we will try to immunize T helper cells with HER-2/neu protein fragments extending from the cell membrane and located furthest from the cell. This portion is least similar to normal growth factors and may generate a specific anti-tumor response with little or no toxicity to normal tissues. Our next aim will be to study whether T cells from patients with high levels of HER-2/neu in their tumors can be directly immunized against these protein fragments in the laboratory. Our goal is to modify the conditions to generate T helper cells to aid a cellular tumor-rejection response rather than antibody production. In our final aim we will investigate producing sufficient numbers of specific T helper cells in the laboratory for therapy of patients, with a goal to produce them within a clinically useful 4 to 6 week time frame.

 If these experiments are successful, they will permit immunotherapy with CD4+ T cells to be used in the treatment of patients with high levels of HER-2/neu in their tumors. This would add cellular immunotherapy to what has heretofore been a chemotherapy-oriented approach to breast cancer. We hope to benefit this particular subset of breast cancer patients whose prognosis has been among the poorest of those with this disease.

Xénophyte nouvelle pour la Corse, d’origine pantropicale, proche de Paspalum distichum L. dont elle diffère par ses tiges aériennes courtes et grêles, par ses feuilles rapidement convolutées, par ses petits épis (12-30 × 2-3 mm) et par ses glumes glabres. Le taxon, qui semble être ici le constituant d’origine du green, est connu pour avoir fourni plusieurs cultivars destinés tout spécialement aux parcours de golf des régions maritimes (BROSNAN & DEPUTY, Seashore Paspalum, University of Mânoa, 2008, http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/ TM-1.pdf; CARROW, USGA Turfgrass Environm. Res. 4(13): 1-9, 2005). De là, il colonise ensuite les pelouses de proche en proche et manifeste rapidement un caractère invasif: il est ainsi considéré à haut risque par Pacific Island Ecosystems at Risk (http://www.hear.org/pier/species/paspalum_vaginatum.htm). Non spécialement nitrophile, tolérant au sel et à de fortes variations édaphiques, doté d’un système rhizomateux dense et tenace qui élimine la concurrence à l’exception de quelques autres pestes (Digitaria violascens, Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.), il est beaucoup plus dangereux que Paspalum distichum pour les pelouses naturelles. En France, il s’est naturalisé au Pays Basque où il forme désormais des gazons monospécifiques dans de nombreuses stations proches du littoral, y compris sur vases salées. Son extension est limitée à Sperone par la garrigue où il ne peut pénétrer, mais il profite de toutes les ouvertures favorables; si des fragments de rhizome étaient transférés accidentellement sur des sites comme la dépression de Musella ou le littoral de Sant’Amanza, l’impact pourrait être catastrophique.

description: This report is a General Design Memorandum concerning the approximately 12 mile reach of shore extending from Sea Bright to Ocean Township, Section I of the authorized project. The report presents the evaluation of erosion control alternatives for providing protection from damage from storm waves and erosion. Evaluation of the alternatives was accomplished within the framework of existing Federal laws and criteria. The plan recommended for construction yields the maximum benefits over cost (NED plan). The plan provides for the construction of a protective beach along the 11.8 miles of shore of the considered reach with periodic nourishment of the new beach and the notching of 15 existing groins. The design beach, which has a 100 foot wide berm at an elevation of 10 feet above mean low water (MLW) and a berm cap extending to an elevation of +12 feet above MLW provides protection to upland property from erosion that would accompany a storm with a re-occurrence interval of 120 years. However, the recommended works will not protect property from damage caused by storm surges in the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers.

description: The past two decades of research have established that cancer is essentially a genetic disease. Genes directly associated with cancer are often divided into two categories, (i) cancer-causing genes, called oncogenes, and (ii) cancer-inhibiting genes, called tumor suppressor genes. For a variety of reasons more oncogenes have been described than tumor suppressor genes. Despite this, many lines of investigation suggest the presence of many breast cancer suppressor genes in the human genome. Our proposal seeks to identify novel suppressor genes of breast cancer.

 Our work in the past several years has identified a new family of tumor suppressors, designated the PR domain family. These proteins function in regulating gene activity (i.e., transcription factors). We have now isolated three novel members of this PR family, designated PFM4, PFM7, and PFM11. Preliminary data strongly suggest that these PFM genes are candidate suppressors of breast cancer.

 In this project we plan to establish that PFM genes are, in fact, mutated in breast cancers, which are hallmarks of tumor suppressors. This will be accomplished by studying genetic markers associated with the PFM genes in breast tumor samples and cancer cell lines. We are interested in correlating the disease severity with PFM gene mutations, deletions, or chromosomal region loss. These studies will give us insight into the relationship between the different PFM genes and the clinical properties of breast cancer. Finally, we plan to test whether putting normal forms of these genes back into breast tumor cells can suppress cancer growth in animal models.

 Our ultimate goal would be to use information on new breast cancer tumor suppressors to develop reagents, such as antibodies, for use as clinical markers. Pending advances in gene therapy, tumor suppressors have the potential to correct the breast cancer phenotype. And, definitive tumor suppressors for breast cancer can lead to studies to increase their amounts, as a preventative strategy, through diet or other means.

SBP-1: A Novel Survivin Binding Protein in Breast Cancer

description: Cancers arise due to defects in the amounts and functions of molecules that control the rates of cell production (cell division) and the rates of cell loss as a result of programmed cell death (apoptosis). But, cell division and apoptosis do not exist as separate processes inside cells. There are key proteins that link them together. Inappropriate amounts and subtle changes in activity of these linkage factors appear to distinguish normal from cancer cells. One of the molecules consistently over-produced in tumors is survivin, a protein that is necessary for both tumor cell division and tumor cell survival. Proof-of-concept experiments have demonstrated that if one could inhibit survivin's actions, it would be possible to stop cancer cells from dividing and trigger them to die. To find new strategies for attacking survivin, we have searched for proteins that bind to it. This led us to discover survivin-binding protein-1 (SBP-1).

 This project aims to unravel the mechanism by which SBP-1 influences the activity of survivin. The methods that will be employed include transfer of genes producing SBP-1 or experimentally modified forms of SBP-1 into breast cancer cells. Using these artificial mutant cells we can explore the effects of SBP-1 on cell division and cell survival. Analysis will also be performed on human breast cancer specimens to determine whether SBP-1 is produced in malignant cells. In other experiments we will produce antibodies to SBP-1 to visualize its localization in the mitotic structures using microscopy. Studies of the SBP-1 may suggest new approaches for developing novel therapeutics for improved treatment of breast cancer and other kinds of malignancies. Even if targeting SBP-1 and survivin do not directly impact cancer cells, blocking these proteins could enhance the effectiveness of many current therapeutics. And, it is important to develop new tools and biomarkers to utilize in the continuing effort to determine which therapeutic options work best for each woman.
