Year: 2017

description: This dissertation examines creation of narrative and policy prescription about remittances in international institutions, with a focus on the World Bank.  By focusing on the role that gender has played in knowledge creation about remittances, the fate of gender mainstreaming at the World Bank is clarified.  The dissertation begins with an analysis of the history of remittances in international institutions, asking how levels of interest in remittances, as well as understandings of migrants and gender, have changed over time.  This is followed by a mixed-methods examination of World Bank publications to understand how attention to country and gender are distributed in the remittances literature.  Finally, a close study of the World Bank’s migration and remittances blog, People Move, allows for a detailed understanding of the intellectual networks and priorities of the World Bank.  Ultimately these approaches together lead to the conclusion that gender mainstreaming at the World Bank has been largely successful in placing questions about gender on the agenda of discussions of remittances, though the generation of gendered answers remains a work in progress.
School's out (of place)

description: This dissertation examines the ways that neighborhood stakeholders inserted space and place into the school closure debate in Philadelphia in 2013. I ask, specifically: (1) how stakeholders invoked place in protesting and making sense of school closures, (2) how they understand the significance of their location (their spatial position) in the context of this debate, and (3) how they understand the significance of school closures for their neighborhoods. The project is structured around case studies of three Philadelphia neighborhoods that each had at least one school recommended for closure. I draw on video and transcription records of public meetings held during the closure debate, as well as interviews I conducted with neighborhood stakeholders in the wake of the closure process. Political protest rooted in and leveraging place is particularly significant in the context of policy regimes that prioritize mobility through the market mechanism of individual choice. My analysis in this dissertation draws out three ways neighborhood stakeholders leveraged place in a policy debate framed by such market logic: (1) using place (i.e., spatial positionality) to critique structural inequality, (2) leveraging productions of place identity as claims to space, and (3) naming the place implications of broader systemic transformation. From a policy standpoint, this project considers the ways that the failure to acknowledge the spatial implications of the marketization of public education and the place-consequences of school closures obscures inequalities reproduced through these reforms. From a theoretical standpoint, this dissertation is a study of the political capacity of situated actors and, specifically, the role of place and place identity in contesting spatial inequality.

description: Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of particular concern for manufacturers of refrigerated fresh produce because of its wide distribution in the environment and its ability to grow at refrigeration temperature. Approximately, two-thirds of supermarkets implement crisping and misting to enhance product  appearance and quality. Based on the FDA food code, water used for soaking, submersion, hydrating, or crisping does not need to contain chemical sanitizers. When product is submerged in water, cross-contamination may occur. Therefore, the impact of crisping in water with and without sanitizer was investigated.    The study was coupled with determining the influence of misting on growth and survival of L. monocytogenes. Romaine lettuce was inoculated with L. monocytogenes cocktail to achieve initial population of ca. 5.5 log CFU/g, heads were submerged in tap water or tap water containing electrolyzed water for 5 min and then held at 5 oC for 2 h to crisp. Half of the crisped lettuce heads were placed in a  refrigerated commercial display cabinet and misted for 24 h. Lettuce was then transferred to a refrigerator (5 oC and 15 oC) and held for 7 days. The population of L. monocytogenes and psychrotrophic bacteria was determined at day 0, 1, 4, and 7 for each treatment and temperature.    The results showed that crisping in electrolyzed water significantly reduced (P<0.05) the population of L. monocytogenes by 2.93 log compared to tap water alone (1.32 log reduction). An additional 1 log reduction in population of L. monocytogenes occurred after 24 h misting. The population of L. monocytogenes remained relatively constant during 7 days of refrigerated storage. There was no significant difference in population of L. monocytogenes on lettuce held at 5oC or 15oC. Crisping and misting treatments reduced the population of psychrotrophic bacteria on lettuce. The psychrotrophic bacteria population was greater on lettuce held at 15oC, reaching 6.99-7.54 log CFU/g after 7 days.    Results of the present study suggest that crisping treatment, especially with electrolyzed water sanitizer significantly reduced the population of L. monocytogenes on romaine lettuce. Misting also had a negative effect on the survival and growth of L. monocytogenes. Based on the methods used in the present study, the practice of crisping with a commercial sanitizer and misting may enhance the microbial safety of commodities sold at retail supermarkets.
Public policy impacts of jurisdictional fragmentation

description: For decades, there has been substantial debate regarding whether it is preferable for a metropolitan area to be governed by a single local government, or by some number of smaller municipalities. Advocates of the latter, informed by Tiebout (1956) and public choice theory, argue that competitive markets in public goods can and should exist, while those in the former camp believe economies of scale and ability to plan cohesively at the regional level make unitary systems preferable. The literature on this topic, reviewed extensively here, has focused disproportionately on matters of public finance while venturing into other fields of public policy inquiry far less often. Does jurisdictional fragmentation have broader implications? This work will use regression analysis to test whether the structure of local governance affects a variety of outcomes, including ethnic and racial segregation, land use patterns, economic performance and inequality, educational achievement, and housing costs. Overall, results are mixed, though they suggest a future course of research: investigating whether fragmentation has worsened spatial mismatch in the labor market among African-Americans.

description: Nowadays, catalysis is of critical importance in chemical and pharmaceutical industry, and understanding the underlying mechanism of small molecule activation boosts development in the fields of organometallics and catalysis. In this Dissertation, we discuss DFT studies of several catalytic systems explored in our research lab.  Headlines in the works are: (1) For pincer PCP iridium complexes catalyzed olefin hydroaryloxylation reaction, an organometallic mechanism via olefin insertion into an iridium−alkoxide bond, followed by rate-determining C−H reductive elimination, is proposed against a hidden Brønsted acid pathway common to previously developed transition-metal-based catalysts. (2) For a newly prepared carbazolide-based pincer PNP iridium complexes catalyzed olefin hydrogenation reaction, C2H4 and H2 assisted pathways are discovered. Especially, the more efficient H2 assisted pathway is found undergoing an Ir(III)/Ir(V)/Ir(III) cycle, in contrast to the Ir(III)/Ir(V)/Ir(III) cycle proceeded by isoelectronic (PCP)Ir systems. (3) For carbazolide-based pincer PNP rhodium complexes catalyzed hydrogenation /dehydrogenation reactions, the forming/ opening of a β-H agostic intermediate is found to be the rate determining step. (4) For the olefin insertion reaction and alkane hydrogenolysis reaction on (Phebox)Ir acetate complexes, Na+ is found to catalyze the reactions through bonding to the terminal acetate O atom on key intermediates and rate determining states, thus stabilizing these states.

Automated and computationally efficient joint motion analysis using low quality fluoroscopy images
Creators: name: Ghafurian, Soheil
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The kinematic analysis of joint motion has proven to significantly improve orthopedic surgeries by enhancing surgery assessment, prosthesis design, and pathology diagnosis.  This analysis is usually performed by a three to two dimensional (3D/2D) registration of the 3D bone model to a 2D radiographic video from C-arm fluoroscopy imaging machines.  However, the practicality of such analysis is undermined due to lengthy and user-dependent 3D/2D image registration algorithms and the high cost of C-arm fluoroscopy imaging machines.  Mini C-arm fluoroscopic machines are a more affordable alternative, but the low quality of their images has hindered their use in this application.    In this thesis, we propose a novel 3D/2D image registration algorithm for the kinematic analysis of joint bones using mini C-arm fluoroscopy machines with significantly improved speed, despite their low quality images.  This method performs a fast registration through a novel algorithm for quick and high-quality generation of digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRR), which is the bottleneck in such processes.  Moreover, the dependency of the results on the user has been reduced as a new feature-based registration algorithm replaced the previously manual initialization phase of the process.  This algorithm is able to reach the true registration from within 90 degrees of it, which is a substantial improvement over the existing methods.  In addition, our algorithm performs the registration in significantly reduced time due to a smaller number of generated DRRs.

description: Electrode materials for batteries and electrolysers are optimized and analyzed regarding their application, which has led to modern high-performance materials. Until now, it is spectroscopically challenging to observe the intrinsic chemical equilibria between electrode material and electrolyte that may influence more than just the interface. Monitoring changes in the bulk electrode material without external potential would contribute to the understanding of the overall system.Here we use lithium titanate as inorganic material [1-2] and a nitrogen containing organic carbon material to show how the pure contact of the electrolyte influences the electronic structure/dynamics of such solid materials. In case of the Lithium titanate an electrolyte dependent change of the bulk could be detected by NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), which allows e.g. conclusions on the two-phase equilibrium of lithium ions. In the case of the diamagnetic carbon material, radical centres could reversibly be induced and observed by EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance), supporting an electrolyte dependent reactivity in catalytic applications. Overall, the observations allow aspects of the intrinsic activity of the materials to be better understood and thus indicate additional starting points for improving the electrochemical systems.

description: Griffonia simplicifolia is a legume indigenous to western region of Sub-Saharan Africa. While the seeds of this plant are known for being the most abundant natural source of 5-hydroxtryptophan (5-HTP), a widely consumed alternative treatment for conditions involving a serotonin imbalance, many phytochemical characteristics of this species remain unreported. In order to further characterize the phytochemical composition of Griffonia simplicifolia, the 5-HTP, nitrile glycoside, polyphenol, antioxidant, protein, flavonoid, mineral, fatty acids, and tocopherol content of several different populations of griffonia seeds and leaves collected from various regions of Ghana and Liberia were evaluated. For comparison, the 5-HTP content of 18 commercial products on the nutraceutical supplement market was quantified in order to verify the declared amount on their labels match their measured amount. Total polyphenol content of griffonia leaves was 21.16 ± 0.48 GAE/g and antioxidant capacities of leaves and seeds were 12.31 ± 0.45 TEAC/g and 216.50 ± 13.88 TEAC/g, respectively. Protein content of griffonia leaves was 6.89 ± 0.47 BSAE/gram and protein content of seeds was 33.58 ± 1.52 BSAE/gram. Average fatty acid, α-tocopherol, and γ-tocopherol content of seeds were 269.54 ± 2.77 mg/g, 22.62 ± 1.54 µg/g, and 86.58 ± 4.01 µg/g, respectively. Average flavonoid content of griffonia leaves was 9182.02 ± 140.90 µg/g. The average 5-HTP content from all the sampled seed populations was 120.84 ± 9.00 mg/g and total nitrile glycosides averaged 14.25 ± 1.65 mg/g. Griffonia seeds were found to be a source of manganese but not calcium, and a high source of iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, and phosphorus. Among the various populations, the most substantial differences in secondary metabolite accumulation was observed in polyphenol, antioxidant, and flavonoid content of leaves as well as nitrile glycoside and tocopherol content of seeds. Pasteurizing seeds with dry heat does not significantly affect the 5-HTP content and seeds with black colored endosperms contained lower amounts of 5-HTP and nitrile glycosides than seeds with yellow endosperms. The 5-HTP content of all 18 dietary supplements was within ± 15% of the amounts declared on their labels.

description: The present study aimed to advance our understanding of the phenomenology of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) by identifying any specific or unique patterns in affective forecasting and recollection of biases that are related to BPD symptoms. In order to assess the accuracy of participants’ affective forecasts and recollections, we compared a sample of non-clinical undergraduates’ (n=183) predicted and recalled affective states with their actual affect following two emotionally evocative film clips (one amusing and one sad). We predicted that higher levels of BPD symptoms would be associated with greater affective forecasting and recall biases. Results indicated that BPD symptoms predicted a specific pattern of forecasting and recall biases regarding negative, but not positive, stimuli. However, counter to our hypotheses, as BPD symptoms increased affective forecasts and recollections were more accurate (less biased). Results from this study indicate that BPD symptoms are related to a specific pattern of affective biases and warrant further study. Furthermore, this study indicates that symptom-specific patterns of forecasting/recall bias can be studied with a laboratory-based paradigm.
Arc protein expression in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus following trace, contextual, and delay fear conditioning in a novel or familiar context

Year: 2017

description: Arc (Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein) is an effector neuronal immediate-early gene (IEG) and has been closely linked to behaviorally-induced neuronal plasticity. The present experiments are the first to characterize the regional distribution of Arc expression induced by hippocampal-dependent learning. More specifically, these studies examined the regionally-selective, dissociable patterns of Arc expression induced by Pavlovian trace fear conditioning, delay fear conditioning, and contextual fear conditioning as well as novel context exposure.   This research was guided by anatomical studies identifying heterogeneity of connectivity across the transverse (CA1, CA3) and septo-temporal (dorsal vs. ventral) axes of the hippocampus; companion neuropsychological experiments suggest that these subregions likely play functionally dissociable roles in different forms of hippocampal-dependent learning. Hence the primary goal of the present study was to characterize the expression of Arc protein across both the septotemporal and transverse axes of the hippocampus induced by hippocampal dependent trace fear conditioning and compare these expression patterns to those induced by other fear conditioning paradigms. A second goal of these studies was to explore which specific paradigmatic features of the trace fear conditioning task itself are responsible for the observed patterns of Arc expression. These goals were accomplished by directly comparing behavior and Arc protein expression patterns following trace fear conditioning to that following novel context exposure, contextual fear conditioning, and delay fear conditioning in either a novel or familiar context.    The results of these studies suggest that, within the dorsal hippocampus, Arc expression in CA3 induced by trace fear conditioning may play a unique role in representing the context, while Arc protein expression within ventral CA3 may reflect CS processing. Arc protein expression in dorsal and ventral CA1 are likely not meaningfully involved in trace fear conditioning as there is either a lack of significant enhancement (dorsal CA1) or enhancement is not unique to subjects trained in trace fear conditioning (ventral CA1). The specific regional pattern of Arc protein enhancement induced by trace fear conditioning may reflect the unique temporal parameters of the task which critically engages the hippocampus in processing both contextual representations as well as the explicit CS. This additional hippocampal processing may account for the greater enhancement in Arc protein in dorsal and ventral CA3 for subjects trained in trace fear conditioning compared to novel context exposure, or contextual and delay fear conditioning.

description: This thesis presents the design and simulation of micrometer-scale capacitive temperature sensors, which could serve as a component for miniaturized wireless sensor nodes for the internet of things requiring structural flexibility and optical transparency. The proposed sensor design employs a conventional, planar interdigitated capacitor structure, explores the thermo-mechanical property (thermal expansion coefficient) of various sensing materials including a conductive polymer, and can be easily implemented using a single-layer surface micromachining process. The operating characteristics of prototype sensors comprising different sensing electrodes are investigated as a function of various physical design parameters using numerical simulation software, which uses the finite element method (FEM). FEM simulation results show that the prototype sensor that utilizes a conductive polymer for the sensing electrode exhibits a reasonably good linearity and sensitivity (~0.31 fF/˚C) over a relatively wide temperature range (between 7 and 127 ˚C). The dimensions and electrode materials (e.g., Au, Cr and W) of the proposed sensor can be readily customized for different temperature ranges required for different applications.

Antennas re-clustering and target handoff for multiple radars system
Creators: name: Jabbar, Sadiq
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Widely distributed multiple radar systems have been shown to offer enhanced localization performance. With smaller radar footprint, the ability to employ larger number of transmit and receive antennas opens new opportunities. In previous research, a subset selection scheme has been proposed for antenna clustering that minimizes the number of transmit and receive antennas required to achieve a preset accuracy performance. The study indicated that some transmit and receive antenna pairs contribute more than others to the localization performance. This thesis concentrates on handoff techniques that enable the transition of target tracking from one antenna cluster to another. As a target moves in an area covered by a grid of multiple radars, its relative position with respect to an existing tracking antenna cluster (or antenna subset) is changing, affecting the accuracy capabilities of the existing antenna cluster. Thus, at some point, there is a need to update the antenna cluster, keeping a useful antenna subset while replacing other antennas with ones that will keep localization accuracy within a given range. Re-clustering methods are proposed to address target handoff within antennas belonging to a larger grid. Low complexity re-clustering algorithms are proposed for handoff purposes which enable a constrained replacement of antennas. These fast approximation algorithms are based on the optimization of the Cramer Rao bound (CRB) and constrained by the number of antennas that may be replaced at any given time. It is shown that this method performs close to optimal and can be implemented in a decentralized fashion.

description: This paper introduces a novel approach to generate narratives from the memories of in-game agents. We propose an agent framework to accommodate memory and perception in virtual agents. This system extracts agent auto-biographic memories as multiple partial narratives, and generates possible complete narratives. We employ a novel narrative merging and extrapolation technique to generate unique complete narratives based on partial narratives of multiple agents. This is used to generate unique narratives for specific narrative constraints. To generate narratives for massive open-world scenes we introduce a novel algorithm that generates dynamic partial plans of large action spaces in real-time. These plans repairs as per the user actions, there by generating a unique narrative for every different user interaction. We conducted a comparative study of our dynamic planning technique with existing planning techniques. Also, we tested our agent framework for a complex environment to verify its robustness.

description: Background: The objective of our study was to biomechanically evaluate the use of kyphoplasty to stabilize post-traumatic segmental instability in incomplete burst fractures of the vertebrae. Methods: The study was performed on 14 osteoporotic spine postmortem samples (Th11–L3). First, acquisition of the native multisegmental kinematics in our robot-based spine tester with three-dimensional motion analysis was set as a baseline for each sample. Then, an incomplete burst fracture was generated in the vertebral body L1 with renewed kinematic testing. After subsequent kyphoplasty was performed on the fractured vertebral body, primary stability was examined again. Results: Initially, a significant increase in the range of motion after incomplete burst fracture generation in all three directions of motion (extension–flexion, lateral tilt, axial rotation) was detected as proof of post-traumatic instability. There were no significant changes to the native state in the adjacent segments. Radiologically, a significant loss of height in the fractured vertebral body was also shown. Traumatic instability was significantly reduced by kyphoplasty. However, native kinematics were not restored. Conclusions: Although post-traumatic segmental instability was significantly reduced by kyphoplasty in our in vitro model, native kinematics could not be reconstructed, and significant instability remained.

The kitchen maid that will rule the state
Creators: name: Klots, Alissa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation examines domestic service during the first two decades of the Soviet regime as a symbol of revolutionary transformation, as gendered politics of labor, and as experience. In spite of the strong association between domestic service and exploitation, the Soviet regime did not ban or shun paid domestic labor; it turned domestic service into a laboratory of revolutionary politics, to ultimately embrace it as an essential part of socialist economy. At the center of the study lies the trope of the kitchen maid that will rule the state – a misquote from Lenin that turned into a call for transformation addressed to “victims of tsarist oppression,” particularly women.  During the first decade after the revolution, transformation implied gaining proletarian consciousness. Domestic servants were to overcome their servile mentality and become workers by developing awareness of their labor rights, engaging in union activities and inscribing themselves into the revolutionary narrative. With the onset of the industrialization campaign in the late 1920s, domestic workers were to be transformed once again, this time to join the ranks of industrial workers. The state mobilized domestic workers along with housewives into production, and it nurtured an expectation that paid domestic labor would disappear in the near socialist future. However, once the foundations of socialism were announced to have been laid in 1934, paid domestic labor was proclaimed an important part of socialist economy. Domestic workers were to become skillful and reliable executors of state goals in the home: raising Soviet children, attending to socialist households, and providing workers with rest. At the same time, the older, emancipatory rhetoric of a domestic worker reinventing herself as a production worker retained strong resonances in popular culture. The ambiguous position of domestic service in the Soviet Union stemmed from the contradiction between the rhetoric of women’s emancipation and the gendered vision of labor that defined housework as women’s work. Beyond charting the history of domestic service in the Soviet Union, this dissertation seeks to question widespread assumptions about the inherent connection between modern domestic service and capitalism, and contribute to a global conversation about the place of paid domestic labor under socialism.

description: Beschreibung

Nachdem man in Deutschland und Sachsen im Speziellen den eigenen Nachbau von Handstickmaschinen »verschlief«, die  1828 in Mulhouse erfunden wurden, versuchte ab 1855 eine Stickereifirma in Plauen im Vogtland die Beschaffung von Stickmaschinen aus der Ostschweiz. Dort gab es Mitte der 1850er-Jahre drei Hersteller. Zum Ablauf haben sich viele Legenden gebildet, die bis in die jüngste Zeit nur ungeprüft kolportiert werden.

Aus Primärbelegen konnte authentisch diese Beschaffung mit heimlicher Ausfuhr über den Bodensee rekonstruiert werden. Ein Gewerbelehrer aus Plauen brachte 1855 von einer Studienreise aus der Ostschweiz vier Maschinenstickmuster mit, die in dieser Studie mit besprochen und gezeigt werden. Zur Bedienung und zum Anlernen weiterer Mitarbeiter wurde in der Schweiz auch ein Stickmeister angeworben, der mit seiner Familie 1858 nach Plauen übersiedelte.

Ab 1860 wurden in Sachsen diese Stickmaschinen nachgebaut und verbessert. Von diesen ist in einem Erfindungspatent für Österreich das älteste erhaltene Foto einer Handstickmaschine aus dem Jahr 1861 oder 1862 in den Beitrag ebenso aufgenommen wie ein Blick zum weiteren Stickmaschinenbau in Sachsen im 19. Jahrhundert.

Im Anhang sind die in vier Ländern noch museal zugänglichen Handstickmaschinen aufgelistet.

Abstract

After Germany, and Saxony in particular, had "slept through" building its own replica of the hand embroidery machines invented in Mulhouse in 1828, an embroidery company in Plauen in the Vogtland attempted to purchase embroidery machines from eastern Switzerland from 1855. In the mid-1850s, there were three manufacturers there. Many legends have grown up about the process, which have circulated unchecked until recently.

This procurement with clandestine export via Lake Constance could be authentically reconstructed from primary documents. A trades teacher from Plauen brought back four machine embroidery patterns from a study trip to Eastern Switzerland in 1855, which are discussed and shown in this study. To operate the machines and train additional employees was recruited a master embroiderer from Switzerland, who moved to Plauen with his family in 1858.

From 1860, these embroidery machines were copied and improved in Saxony. The oldest surviving photo of a hand embroidery machine from 1861 or 1862 in an invention patent for Austria is included in the article, as well as a look at other embroidery machine construction in Saxony in the 19th century.

The appendix lists the hand embroidery machines still accessible to museums in four countries.
