Content name resolution service implementation for cache and forward network architecture
Creators: name: Kataria, Puneet
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Cache aNd Forward (CNF) is a proposed architecture for content delivery services in the future Internet. The CNF architecture takes advantage of reductions in storage to design a network that directly addresses the mobile content delivery problem. The CNF architecture uses a content name resolution service protocol, along with a reliable hop-by-hop transport protocol, storage aware routing protocol in place of end-to-end TCP for reliable delivery of large files. This thesis presents the algorithms proposed for a distributed name resolution protocol and design and experimental evaluation of the protocol on ORBIT in context of a multi-hop wireless access network scenario. The protocol is designed using hashing technique such that when a host queries for a file, the name service will be triggered and will return the addresses of nodes that cache the file.  Since our architecture is about caching and forwarding large content files, enabling hosts to retrieve files from the network and not necessarily from the origin server, we need to uniquely identify the files. To that effect, we propose to identify a file using a unique content identifier (CID) where CID is obtained by a one way hashing (SHA1) on the content itself. The aim here is to optimize selection of cache location and serve the host with the file from the nearest location. If the selected cache location is determined to be temporarily degraded, either due to poor channel conditions or mobility, the protocol uses multiple hash technique to provide alternate cache locations and the decision is based on the ETT metric provided by the routing protocol.  The CNRS protocol over multi-hop 802.11 access networks with CNF routers has been implemented as a real-time proof-of-concept prototype on the ORBIT testbed.  Baseline results for CNRS with hop-by-hop transport show that content based CNF network architecture performs better than TCP/IP stack. Using different content distributions, we have shown that multiple hashing, popularity based and location based caching provide significant gains over the baseline algorithm.

Exploring the linkages between strategic capabilities and HRM in the Korean management consulting industry
Creators: name: Kim, Andrea
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: In this study, strategic capabilities are proposed as a locus of external fit (i.e., HRM-strategy fit). Then, it is tested whether organizations improve performance through aligning HR practices with intellectual capital of strategic jobs that are crucial to strategic capabilities. Regression analyses of a sample of 46 management consulting firms in South Korea find that legitimizing capability (a strategic capability suggested by this study) improves organizational performance. It is also indicated that both legitimizing capability and organizational performance are increased by the use of (1) a sub-set of HR practices for human capital of senior consultants and (2) a system of HR practices for human capital and social capital of senior consultants. This study contributes to the management literature by illustrating the effectiveness of strategic HRM in relatively new settings (i.e., small organizations, professional service industry, and non-U.S. settings).

description: This dissertation theorizes the crucial role of the essay in contemporary American literary experimentalism. A genre of transitivity, the essay resists the ideals of totalization and closure. While this has historically relegated the essay to the margins of literature, it has also made it amenable to extensions and creative re-workings during the latter half of the twentieth century. Central to its resurgence is the way it invites generic exchanges and mixes of heterogeneous elements that put pressure on discursive boundaries between knowledge and art, art and criticism, the literary and the non-literary. The essay incites the active testing of limits. Within the national context of the United States, the extended essays by marginal writers critique enlightenment concepts of the nation-state sustained by closed orders of identity and signification. I focus on five writers who articulate the formal concerns of essayism and the ethical concerns of heterogeneity. Chapter One explores James Baldwin’s use of breaks and cuts that merges the critical form of the essay with African diasporic expressive practices. Chapter Two examines the hybrid texts by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Gloria Anzaldúa written from the margins of the nation and embodying the difficulties of cultural and linguistic intersections. In Chapter Three, I discuss the innovative serial prose work by Nathaniel Mackey through which he upholds improvisation as one of the oldest and newest strategies of living with heterogeneity. Chapter Four considers Susan Howe’s aesthetics of the archive that experiments with new ways of reading and writing history, allowing the poet-essayist to pursue the nonconformist strain in American literature. Each text seeks to extend expressivity while reaffirming the new world possibilities. I argue that the essay and essayistic strategies assist these writers’ search for greater openness in form and spirit.

The information seeking and use of English language learners in a high school setting
Creators: name: Kim, Sung Un
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This study examines the information seeking and use behaviors of English language learners (ELLs) while performing a research task, using Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development and Kuhlthau’s Information Search Process as theoretical frameworks. The research tasks implemented in this study were curriculum based units where students engaged a diverse range of information sources to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. Participants of this study were 48 ELL students from three classes at a public high school in New Jersey. During a 4-5 week period, 10 students from one class were required to choose potential future careers and write a research paper on the college preparation, whereas the 38 students from the other two classes were required to create a foldable on a genetic disorder of their choice. Data were collected through a demographic questionnaire, process surveys at three times (initiation, mid-point and completion), observation, and semi-structured interviews with students and teachers. All manipulated data from the questionnaire and process surveys were statistically analyzed. To corroborate the findings from the questionnaires and process surveys, field notes and transcripts were underwent content analysis.   This study shows what ELL students experience when searching for information throughout the course of a research project in English and what factors interact with individuals’ primary patterns in their information behavior. The findings indicate that having a fluent English speaker or using some English at home gives ELL students more confidence in their English language abilities, which might impact their information behavior. Among the ELL groups, only the intermediate ELL group exhibited significant increases in estimated knowledge and in positive feelings, particularly relief and satisfaction, as they progressed in their research project. In addition, this study addresses how ELL students’ research process is influenced by gender, ethnicity, and the nature of the research task.  This study sheds light on how cultural and linguistic background can influence people’s information seeking and use. At a pedagogical level, the findings facilitate understanding of the unique needs of ELL students in K-12 school contexts and suggest effective strategies and instructional interventions for meeting those needs.

A novel enhancer of Dbx1 is able to drive neural tissue specific reporter gene expression
Creators: name: Kim, Jennifer
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Dbx1 is a homeobox gene that plays an essential role in the patterning of the central nervous system (CNS) during development.  Its expression pattern is regionally restricted within the brain and spinal cord and has been linked to defining neuronal-specific domains.  Enhancers, a major type of transcriptional regulatory element, are important in determining tissue specific gene expression.  Here we have identified a novel enhancer of Dbx1 in order to understand mechanisms of spatial and temporal regulation of the Dbx1 gene.  Using a multi-genome sequence alignment tool, a conserved non-coding region, Dbx1CR5 was identified as a putative enhancer of Dbx1. A green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter assay system was used to verify the ability of Dbx1CR5 to drive neural tissue specific reporter gene expression in the developing chick CNS.  GFP was detected between embryonic days 3 and 18 and was restricted to areas of the mesencephalon.  Morphology and molecular staining of GFP+ tissues indicate that GFP is expressed in a heterogeneous population of cells. Within Dbx1CR5, multiple regions were identified to individually activate GFP expression in varying spatial patterns. Our findings support the notion that multiple binding elements reside within the 1135bp region of Dbx1CR5. Through this research we hope to identify factors that may one day be used to develop potential and novel therapeutics.

The effect of task and personal relevance on credibility judgements while searching on the Internet
Creators: name: Kirkyla, Andrius Viktoras
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: People can view the Internet as an endless source of information although it is not known how individuals might evaluate the credibility of information that is presented on websites. A methodology is needed to incorporate how the information seeking task, as well as the level of personal relevance, influences the criteria individuals use to evaluate Internet information.  Forty subjects completed four search tasks with two of the tasks in topic areas where subjects had a high level of interest and the other two tasks in areas where subjects had a low level of interest. For each of the topic areas the subjects were asked to complete one fact finding task and one task that required more in-depth analysis. The results revealed that there are four factors explaining the subjects’ credibility judgments: competence, coverage, presentation, and trustworthiness. Results of logistic regression suggest that the complexity of the task influences the factors used in judging the credibility of information being presented. However there appears to be no relationship between the levels of personal relevance and criteria used to judge credibility. A revised model is proposed that incorporates the four factors and illustrates how they are used in evaluating credibility.
Institutions for more sustainable cities

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Along with the rapid urbanization of growing populations and the affluence of consumer society, the goal of sustainable development becomes a core challenge of managing highly urbanized cities. The N-shaped EKC implies that Korean cities have recently failed to prevent the occurrence of the second turning point where increasing generation of waste began to accompany rising income. The cross-sectional comparison of household income shows that well-off households generate more waste compared to those with fewer resources. The construction projects of large-scale facilities are not designed to the appropriate scale of industrial ecosystems for small players. Market failures put constraints on the function of the markets for recyclables and recycled products. The adversarial politics of authoritarian technocrats in favor of capital creates a structural barrier to democratic deliberation for sustainable development. An efficiency-oriented, single-medium approach manages the risks of waste by diverting it, and also aggravates a steady increase in waste generation. The success of sustainable cities depends on a shift in both prevailing paradigms and institutional arrangements. Focusing on the criticality of inducive and deliberative institutions, this research recommends the institutions conducive to eco-efficiency and equity improvements for the better environmental management of sustainable cities. As a lowest effective unit for addressing the sustainability issues, cities need to redefine the appropriate scale for resource-circulating symbiosis, and to dispose of waste close to its source according to the proximity principle. The responsibilities of stakeholders must be proportionate to the waste generation for which they are accountable. For the purpose of affecting the scattered choices that are individually small but cumulatively very large, user involvement can be improved by fine-tuning the policy mix according to the characteristics of corresponding target stakeholders. Procedural participation cannot always work as an easy panacea for equity problems in environmental decision-making, and must move further forward to deliberative democracy. The complementarity based on the subsidiarity principle can guide partnerships among different levels of government, the private sector, civil society and other stakeholders. The upper-level governments need to foster local pilot initiatives by subsidizing and nurturing their transboundary benefits. Finally, as cities are required to fulfill their overall authority and responsibility to their full potential, decentralized governance in its early stage should be oriented toward a substantial process of transferring powers and resources, as well as responsibilities and functions, to local tiers of government and enhancing intermunicipal cooperation.

description: The establishment of dorsoventrality along the adaxial-abaxial axis is considered an early and crucial step of leaf development and proposed as a requirement for subsequent leaf blade expansion. Because photosynthesis mainly takes place in leaves, several key determinants are required to ensure the proper formation of mature leaves. Several efforts have been dedicated to elucidate the regulatory networks controlling leaf morphogenesis. In this thesis, characterization of novel regulators for both leaf polarity establishment and leaf blade expansion is described.   Several Arabidopsis leaf polarity mutants have been identified. However, none of the single, recessive mutants display polarity defects similar to phantastica (phan), the first leaf polarity mutant in Antirrhinum majus. Characterization of filliforme (flr) indicates that flr may be the missing counterpart of phan. flr exhibited the abaxial features in the radialized organs as well as disturbed shoot apical meristem organization. Gene expression analysis revealed the alteration of expression levels of several key regulatory genes. Remarkably, FLR encodes a plastid membrane protein, underlining the roles of plastids in Arabidopsis growth and development.  sensitive to red light reduced (srr) 1-2 mutants displayed a narrow-leaf phenotype in addition to defects in light perception and circadian clock regulation. This suggests a connection between leaf blade expansion and the circadian clock. Due to the lack of recognizable functional domains, molecular functions of SRR1 remain unknown. However, genetic interactions between srr1-2 and translational machinery mutants indicate the involvement of SRR1 in the translational regulation of leaf morphogenesis.  Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of a translational regulation during leaf morphogenesis in Arabidopsis. Mutations in several ribosomal protein genes similarly result in a pointed-leaf phenotype. Characterization of pointed-first-leaves (pfl) 2-2 mutants, in which the ribosomal protein gene RPS13 is disrupted, revealed perturbation in both adaxial and abaxial mesophyll layers. This mutation in pfl2-2 also significantly enhanced polarity defects in several leaf polarity mutants. These results suggest that RPS13 contributes along with other regulatory genes in establishing or maintaining leaf polarity. Together, genetic approaches present in this dissertation expose unexpected contribution of plastids, the circadian clock and translational machineries on leaf morphogenesis.

description: Here we describe a new method for the formation of allenes utilizing a Grob-like fragmentation along with a mechanistic study.  The mechanism of the azide and thio acid amidation is presented. This mechanism was found to go through a thiatriazoline, and the reaction was successfully extended to the isoelectronic coupling of dithio acids with azides to form thioamide. Finally, distortional asymmetry is presented as new model for   understanding stereoselectivity in sterically unbiased systems. This model deomonstrates that small ground state perturbations can lead to significant energy differences between diastereomeric tranistion states.
Improving the efficiency of urban bus services in India

description: This dissertation analyzed the performance of public bus services in Indian cities and explored factors that affect their efficiency.  Following the Road Transport Corporation Act of 1950, most states in India established State Road Transport Corporations to provide public bus services in their respective states. By early 1990s, most of the State Transport Undertakings (STUs) had become large monopolistic operations that incurred huge losses. The government of India started to encourage the STUs to resort to privatization to expand their services and stopped providing funds for purchase of new vehicles. Delhi and Bangalore privatized part of their urban bus services to increase the supply of buses in the city. The analysis involved quantitative analysis of the performance of urban transport companies, the efficiency of their operations and a comparison of the privatization experience of Delhi and Bangalore to understand the differences in their experience. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to estimate the relative efficiencies of public bus companies. Then, tobit regression and truncated regression were performed on the estimated efficiencies to explore the exogenous factors that influence efficiency. Results from the multivariate analysis showed that privatization significantly affects service efficiency.  Privatization led to an increase in the supply of buses, a decrease in crowding on buses and overall improvements in the quality of service. However, its impact on production efficiency was insignificant.  The results from regression analyses indicated that factors other than privatization, such as higher population density and regular revisions of fares influence efficiency. Higher traffic speeds can also improve efficiency of bus systems.  While some these factors can be directly controlled by the bus operator, others are beyond their control and have to be addressed though overall planning for land use and traffic management. The research also offers several practical implications to cities that are planning to privatize their operations. The comparison of the privatization experiences of Delhi and Bangalore does not support the theory that competition between operators improves efficiency. Regardless of the method of privatization chosen, the nature of regulations imposed on the private operators determines the outcome from privatization.

The shape of history
Creators: name: Lau, Meghan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation argues that the literature of the First World War takes account of the epistemological crisis affecting historiographic discourse in the early twentieth century through experiments with literary form. Despite a lack of temporal distance, First World War writers understood themselves as witnesses to a crucial event and conceived of their work as both literature and history. These aspirations, however, were complicated by the fact that the writing of history in the early years of the twentieth century took place in the shadow of the crisis of historicism, the late-nineteenth-century debate between positivist (or objective) and relativist (or subjective) conceptions of historical knowledge. First World War literature reflects a complex historical sensibility that is always aware of the problematic nature of historical writing. The first part of my dissertation, which considers war novels and autobiographies, proposes that the crisis in historicism, intensified by the war, propelled a search for forms that legitimize subjective and partial historical representations of the war. The first chapter considers Rebecca West’s The Return of the Soldier, R.H. Mottram’s The Spanish Farm Trilogy, Ford Madox Ford’s Parade’s End, and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, and argues that the manipulation of perspective in the novel emphasizes the partial and subjective quality of both fictional and emerging historical representations of the war. The second chapter proposes that the autobiographical writing of the First World War adopts a failed conversion narrative that makes visible the difficulty of narrating personal and national history simultaneously.  The latter two chapters of the dissertation explore works that renovate traditional literary forms to accommodate historiographic uncertainty. Thus, the third chapter evaluates the revisions of the implicit historical framework of allegory, whether Christian or cyclical, in Vernon Lee’s closet drama Satan the Waster, David Jones’s long poem In Parenthesis, and ee cummings’s The Enormous Room. The final chapter traces the emergence of a self-conscious strain in Louis Napoleon Parker’s wartime pageantry that eventually manifests itself in Noël Coward’s Cavalcade and Virginia Woolf’s Between the Acts. In each of these instances, formal innovation, whether distinctly modern or visibly indebted to literary tradition, enables the writing of history.
Controlled geometry via volumes on Alexandrov spaces

Year: 2010

description: In this thesis we recall the basic definitions and properties for Alexandrov space and describe two geometry phenomenons controlled via volume (Hausdorff measure or rough volume) conditions. (1) For a path in X [Greek letter epsilon] 2 Alex [superscript n] (Greek letter kappa) (the compact n-dimensional Alexandrov spaces with curvature [greater than or equal to kappa].), the sum of the length and the turning angle is bounded from below in terms of [kappa], n, diameter and volume of X. This generalizes a basic estimate by Cheeger on the length of a closed geodesic in closed Riemannian manifold ([Ch]). (2) Let [epsilon]p be the space of directions at p 2  [epsilon] X and the pointed radius R = inf{r : X C B[subscript r](p)}. If X [epsilon] Alex[superscript n](kappa), then vol(X) [less than or equal to symbol] vol(CR/k (Epsilon subscript p). where (CR/k (Epsilon subscript p) is the metric R-ball at the vertex in the [kappa]-suspension (CR/k (Epsilon subscript p). We give an isometric classification of X X [epsilon] Alex[superscript n](kappa) whose volume achieves the maximal possible value (CR/k (Epsilon subscript p). We also determine homeomorphic types of such X when X is a topological manifold. These results are natural extension of K. Grove and P. Petersen's work in 1992 ([GP 92]).
Effects of inotilone on inflammation and inflammation-associated tumorigenesis

description: Inflammation, a complex process, involving numerous mediators of cellular and plasma origins, is considered to be a critical factor in many human diseases and conditions, including obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, aging, and cancers. Inotilone, a secondary metabolite recently found in the dietary Inonotus mushroom, has been reported as a potent inflammatory inhibitor in test tube. However, its inhibitory effect at cellular level as well as in animal model remain unclear. The anti-inflammatory effects of inotilone were investigated in vitro using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophage. Inotilone was shown to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production through modulating inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX 2) enzyme activity, respectively. It is also found that inotilone can only suppressed the expression of iNOS but not COX 2. This divergence may origin from the differential effect of inotilone on transcription factors, nuclear factor κB (NF κB) and CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP). However, this differential effect was not found in the in vivo study employing 12 O tetradecanoylphorbol 13 acetate (TPA)-treated mouse skin. This finding suggested that the effects of inotilone on C/EBPβ expression may be cell type- or stimuli-specific. The inhibitory effects of inotilone were also observed on the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt), extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the ability of inotilone to prevent inflammation-associated tumorigenesis was also evaluated using a classical two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis model. After initiation of 7,12 dimethylbenz[a]nthracene (DMBA), applying inotilone topically before each TPA treatment was found to reduce the incidence and multiplicity of papillomas at 20th week. Taken together, the results suggest that inotilone has potential to be developed into an effective chemopreventive agent for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases, especially the prevention and treatment of epithelial skin cancer.
