Diesel exhaust particles alter endothelial tube permeability
Creators: name: Chao, Ming-Wei
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Epidemiological studies suggest that an increase of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) in ambient air corresponds to in an increase in hospital recorded myocardial infarctions within 48 hr after exposure. Among the many theories to explain this data are endothelial dysfunction and translocation of DEP into the vasculature. We hypothesized that translocation of DEP occurs because endothelial cells become permeable after exposure. To support this hypothesis, in vitro-assembled endothelial tubes were used to evaluate how DEP affected parameters influencing permeability, i.e., cell-cell junction integrity, and proinflammatory and oxidative stress-induced upregulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF, also known as Vascular Permeability Factor). Our first experiments demonstrated that the adherens junction molecule, VE-Cadherin, becomes redistributed from the membrane at cell-cell borders to the cytoplasm in response to DEP, separating the plasma membranes of adjacent cells. DEP were occasionally found in the endothelial cell cytoplasm and in the tube lumen. A second set of experiments demonstrated that DEP induced the generation of ROS, such as H2O2 in the HUVEC tube cells. Transcription factor Nrf2 was translocated to the cell nucleus and activatedtranscription of the antioxidative enzyme HO-1. ELISA assays determined that DEP increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. The oxidative and pro-inflammatory responses both induced secretion of VEGF, a factor known to enhance permeability. Usually, vascular permeability is associated with activation of the Akt pathway leading to increased cell survival. A third set of experiments found that DEP-induced permeability was instead associated with increased apoptosis. This was the associated with deactivation of the Akt pathway. These results suggest mechanisms for how DEP may affect in vivo capillaries.

description: Electromigration can be reduced in a copper-based metallization of an integrated circuit that includes a first copper-containing via that electrically connects an underlying conductive line and an overlying copper-containing line through an intervening insulating layer. Electromigration can be reduced by forming at least a second copper-containing via that electrically connects the underlying conductive line and the overlying copper-containing line through the intervening insulating layer, in parallel with the first copper-containing via. Multi-vias can provide redundancy to reduce early failure statistics. Moreover, since current is distributed among the vias, the electromigration driving force can be reduced and local Joule heating, in voids at the via interface, also may be reduced. Accordingly, even if via voids are formed, the structure may not fail by catastrophic thermal runaway due to Joule heating.

description: How do middle-class Muslims make sense of their religion and of their own selves as Muslims, while occupying the position of highly stigmatized religious minorities? How do they live with and attempt to resolve the contradiction of an Islam that is the source of all that is good and worthwhile and an Islam that stands for backwardness, fanaticism, and terror? This dissertation, based on twenty four months of participant observation in India (Delhi) and the United States (New York City), focuses on how middle-class Muslims in these two sites are re-making what it means to be a pious Muslim and a modern person, as they live their everyday lives in ways that demonstrate that it is entirely possible to be both religious and modern in a world which routinely places Islam in an antithetical relation to modernity. I argue that given the insistent dominant representations of Muslims as anti-modern and backward, Muslims cannot help but engage with the discourses that produce them as such. This engagement in turn produces new understandings of what it means to be both Muslim and modern. At the core of this middle-class Muslim modernity, there is an emphasis on critical thinking that must be brought to bear on all aspects of their lives including their religion. At the same time, in this process of re-presenting themselves as modern, middle-class Muslims are not setting aside their religion but presenting Islam as providing a means for a thoroughly modern way of being in the world in ways that enable us to rethink the tradition/modernity dichotomy. Having already been stigmatized as backward and anti-modern through various public discourses, middle-class Muslims often represent themselves as modern through drawing specific contrasts between their own religious beliefs and practices and those of less educated, lower-class Muslims whom they designate in turn as backward. The very religion of Islam, on account of which Muslims are marked off as non-modern, is thus transformed in the discourses and actions of middle-class Muslims into the site for performing and appropriating modernity.

description: Per una cultura di qualit� dell?eLearning accademico.Strumenti e tecniche nasce in un contesto molto particolare, che � quello della pandemia del Covid che ha colpito l?Italia e il mondo intero. In questa difficilissima circostanza l?Universit� italiana ha dovuto rapidamente riadattarsi ad una situazione di didattica online, che ha fatto emergere tutti i limiti di una transizione troppo repentina e senza adeguata preparazione n� da parte degli studenti, n� da parte dei docenti.
Non si � trattato in realt� di didattica online, ma di didattica di emergenza, necessariamente online.
Questa opera vuole proporre una riflessione sulla qualit� dell?eLearning che aiuti ad aprire un dibattito su quali sono gli elementi che caratterizzano una didattica online di qualit�, elementi per la gran parte in comune con la ?normale? didattica di qualit�. Noi docenti siamo chiamati a riprogettare corsi e curricula per venir incontro alle esigenze degli studenti, della facolt�, dell?universit�, della societ�. Considerando, fra le molte opportunit�, le possibilit� che la tecnologia ci offre, ma piegandole a quelle che sono le reali esigenze dei nostri studenti e del nostro progetto didattico.
Questo libro vuole contribuire alla riflessione su cosa significhi oggi insegnare all?universit�. � stato pensato per coloro che si avviano alla carriera di docenti in qualunque disciplina accademica e per gli amministratori che desiderino creare un ambiente migliore per l?apprendimento. Ma potr� esser utile anche a chi insegna da pi� anni, in quanto integra teorie e pratiche con l?obiettivo di costruire un ?vocabolario? che aiuti a cogliere dettagli, sfumature, particolari del processo insegnamento/apprendimento, per capirlo pi� profondamente, per condividere la conoscenza che costruiamo con i colleghi, per trovare le soluzioni pi� adatte alle discipline, agli studenti, alle universit� in cui ci troviamo ad agire.
Monitoring of the binding processes of black tea polyphenols to bovine serum albumin surface using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Among three major types, green, oolong, and black tea, black tea is the most popular of tea consumption as indicated by almost 80% in the industry of tea production with 3 billion kilograms. Theaflavins and thearubigin are two main polyphenols that give black tea its characteristic color and taste. Theaflavins are classified as the mixtures of four compounds including theaflavin (TF-1), theaflavin-3-gallate (TF-2a), theaflavin-3'-gallate (TF-2b), and theaflavin-3, 3'-digallate (TF-3). There are numerous epidemiological studies both in vitro and vivo  have indicated that black tea polyphenols including, theaflavins, and thearubigin, have ability to be antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and anticancer properties, consequently reducing the risk of non-communicable degenerative diseases such as cancer, and coronary heart disease. Tea polyphenols have been reported to interact with proteins such as salivary proline-rich protein, bovine serum albumin, and milk protein. Some studies reported that the interactions between polyphenols in tea and proteins might lead to the loss of bioavailability of polyphenols and their bioactive capacity. The structure difference between thearubigin and theaflavins in terms of amount of gallic acid and hydroxyl functional groups could provide the different interaction with proteins. This study aims to monitor the binding processes of thearubigin and theaflavins including theaflavin (TF-1) and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TF-3), with bovine serum albumin(BSA) surface using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring QCM-D at different environment such as concentration, pH, ionic strength and temperature.BSA protein was immobilized on the surface of self-assemble monolayer of quartz crystal electrode. The mass and thickness of black tea polyphenols adlayer on BSA surfaces had been determined by QCM-D using Voigt model. Our results showed that the adsorption isotherm of thearubigin on BSA surface can be better described by the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model, suggesting that the thearubigin adsorption on BSA surface was dominated by electrostatic interactionas evidenced by the stronger thearubigin adsorption at pH below the isoelectric point (pI) of BSA. On the other hand, TF-3 had stronger adsorption at the isoelectric point (pI) of BSA and the adsorption isotherm of both TF-3 and TF-1 on BSA surface can be better described by Freundlich model, suggesting that the TF-3 adsorption on BSA surface is dominated by hydrophobic interactions. The much higher adsorption capacity on BSA surface of TF-3 than TF-1 indicates the importance of galloyl group in polyphenol/protein interactions.  The addition of salt influenced the thearubigin and theaflavins binding to BSA surfaces. The shape and shifts in the positions of both amides I and II bands in the FTIR spectra of the BSA surface indicated the presence of the hydrogen bonding.

Cryptopone

description: Species of Cryptopone
As discussed by Bolton & Fisher (2011), C. hartwigi is the only species of Cryptopone found in tropical Africa. It possesses a basal mandibular pit and metatibial pusher setae, characteristics of Cryptopone, and fits the diagnosis for this genus as proposed in the present work. However, recently P.S. Ward (pers. comm.) examined a number of ponerine species using molecular methods and found that C. hartwigi is closely related to Fisheropone and only distantly related to C. gilva and C. testacea, suggesting that C. hartwigi is not a true Cryptopone and the observed similarity is due to convergence in the characters they apparently share. Unfortunately, it proved challenging to find morphological characters that would separate C. hartwigi from “true” Cryptopone. Without such characters it is impossible to determine if only C. hartwigi should be removed from Cryptopone, or if other species are also misplaced and in need of transfer to other genera (new or existing). Only a detailed study of the genus will determine the true relationships among these species. Until this can be completed we are taking a conservative approach and placing C. hartwigi within Cryptopone, acknowledging that this placement will likely need emendation as our understanding of the group improves.

Thermal conductivity enhancement in micro- and nano-particle suspensions
Creators: name: Cherkasova, Anna S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: It has been recognized that the addition of highly conductive particles can significantly increase the thermal conductivity of heat-transfer fluids. Particles in the micro- and nano-size range have attracted the most interest because of their enhanced stability against sedimentation and, as a result, reduction in potential for clogging a flow system. Additional interest has been drawn by recent reports of anomalous enhancements in thermal conductivity above predictions of classical theory for suspensions containing nano-particles. In this research we report on an experimental study of the effective thermal conductivity of suspensions containing micro- and nano-particles.First, we investigated the effect of the particle aspect ratio on heat transfer in fluids. Spherical and cylindrical silicon-carbide particles were dispersed in ethylene glycol, and multi-walled nanotubes were suspended in water with surfactant. To carry out a detailed analysis, size and geometry of the particles were determined from optical and transmission-electron-microscopy imaging. Provided the volume-averaged aspect ratio was used in theoretical calculations, the conductivity of the silicon carbide suspensions was found to be in excellent agreement with effective-medium theory. Experimental data on the thermal conductivity of multi-walled nanotubes dispersions could also be interpreted in terms of the aspect-ratio dependence predicted by effective medium theory if the additional nanoscale effect of interfacial resistance was considered. The aspect ratio of dispersed particles was changed through further processing of both micro- and nano-fluids. As the result, the obtained thermal conductivities doubtlessly revealed that aspect ratio is a key factor affecting conductive heat transport in suspensions. For nanofluids, despite the promise of enhanced stability due to the nanoscale size of particles, particle agglomeration state can have a profound effect on the resulting thermal conductivity of the suspension. This was investigated by coupling thermal conductivity experiments with optical-absorbance and zeta-potential measurements of the stability of carbon nanotube-based nanofluids.An optimal surfactant-to-carbon nanotube mass ratio was found that resulted in both maximum thermal conductivity enhancement and suspension stability. Comparison of thermal conductivities for well-dispersed and agglomerated suspensions was carried out with the aid of ethanol de-stabilization. The experimental data indicated that only individualized nanotubes contribute appreciably to the thermal conductivity enhancement and, as a result, suspension stability is another essential parameter affecting the thermal conductivity of nanoparticle suspensions.

Enhancing subsidiary absorptive capacity
Creators: name: Colakoglu, Saba
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Drawing from the absorptive capacity framework and the knowledge-based view of multinational corporations (MNCs), this dissertation explores linkages among knowledge acquisition practices, organizational learning, knowledge creation capability, and performance among a sample of US subsidiaries of multinational corporations operating in the manufacturing industry.  Overall, data from 106 MNC subsidiaries located in the US and headquartered either in Europe or Japan support the predictions of this study and indicate that subsidiary performance is driven by both an internal and an external path of knowledge acquisition and learning.  Specifically, results showed that internal and external knowledge acquisition practices were positively related to the learning of internal and external know-how respectively.  Both internal and external learning, in turn, were positively related to a subsidiary’s knowledge creation capability, which, in turn, was positively related to subsidiaries’ performance in the US.  However, the external learning–knowledge creation capability path was much stronger than the internal learning–knowledge creation path which was positive only under conditions of low external learning, low subsidiary social capital, and high subsidiary organizational capital.  Several methods for testing mediated relationships converged on the finding that internal and external learning as well as knowledge creation capability carry the influence of internal and external knowledge acquisition practices to subsidiary competitive advantage through an indirect path.   Results, in general, did not support the predictions that intellectual capital positively moderates the relationship between learning and knowledge creation capability.  Moreover, two of the three significant interactions of the relationship between internal learning and knowledge creation capability – social capital and external learning -  were in the opposite direction of what was hypothesized - yielding to an unexpected pattern of findings.  Only in the case of high organizational capital, the relationship between internal learning and knowledge creation capability was positively stronger.  For the relationship between external learning and knowledge creation capability, none of the proposed intellectual capital moderators were significant.

description: We utilize graphs of groups and the corresponding covering theory to study lattices in type-infinity Kac-Moody groups over a finite field of size q, including results for both cocompact and nonuniform lattices.  For every prime power q we give a sufficient condition for the rank 2 Kac-Moody group G to  contain a  cocompact lattice with quotient a simplex, and we show that this condition is satisfied when q is a power of 2.  Under further restrictions, we show that there is an infinite descending chain of cocompact lattices, and we demonstrate such a chain for q=2.   Moreover we characterize the quotient graphs of groups for each lattice. Our method involves extending coverings of edge-indexed graphs to covering morphisms of graphs of groups. We also show how this  gives rise to other infinite families of cocompact lattices in G.  When q=2 we are also able to embed the infinite descending chain in the rank 3 Kac-Moody group as a chain of lattices in the subgroup generated by all non-maximal standard parabolic subgroups.  In addition  we embed a non-discrete subgroup in the rank 3 Kac-Moody group whose quotient is a simplex.We next give graphs of groups descriptions for known nonuniform lattices of Nagao-type.  For the nonuniform lattices SL_2 and PGL_2 over polynomial rings with base field F_q we use the theory of ramified coverings to construct the graphs of groups for their congruence subgroups.  We also examine the same construction employed by Morgenstern, identifying and repairing an error in his work.  All graphs of groups for non-uniform lattices constructed here satisfy the structure theorem for graphs of groups.

No end in sight

description: This dissertation studies narratives of societal collapse in the late twentieth century by situating these within the theory and critique of globalization. The postwar period's domination by nuclear superpowers led civilizational catastrophe to be imagined as an apocalyptic event, as instantaneous, total destruction. Since the Cold War's end, however, the most prominent writers on this theme have projected futures unfolding in degrees of disorder, toward no certain outcome, with smaller-scale but more plentiful disasters. Their narratives answer to a current sense of unchecked global violence, ecological crisis, and, in the US, imperial decline. These works still loosely qualify as apocalyptic literature by their gloomy preoccupation with the potential ends of civilization, but they break with this tradition by rejecting its sharp-cornered historicity.The dissertation's first half sets the context for this narrative field. The first chapter traces the emergence of globalization as the dominant post-Cold War narrative. Against the story of transnational integration widely promoted after the Soviet Union's collapse, such disparate observers as Mike Davis, Samuel Huntington, and Robert Kaplan warned of cultural conflict, resource scarcity, and demographic upheaval. Chapter Two turns to British literature with Doris Lessing's innovative novels of the late 1960s and early 1970s. These predict and perform precisely the narrative shift that occurs in later accounts of globalization, looking past the immediate terror of the Cold War to a future rife with limited catastrophes. The second half of the dissertation reconsiders the premier American novelists commonly associated with the apocalyptic. Rather than an arch postmodernist, Don DeLillo is, in The Names, a prescient narrator of the global future. In Underworld, he grandly renders the unraveling of his society's infrastructure and its cultural self-image, then in Cosmopolis depicts in microcosm the country's dissipation into the global network of finance capital. Chapter Four is an analysis of Against the Day, for which text Thomas Pynchon has revised his characteristically apocalyptic framework. His new narrative structure, I claim, is the "catastrophic sequence," conveying history's apparent convergence upon quasi-apocalyptic events--not world-ending, never foreordained, but which can seem to take climactic place in an ordered succession of like disasters.
Negotiating the middle

description: This dissertation explores the ways in which the broader ideological positions of neoliberalism and “socialism for the 21st century” pressure the discourse of CAFTA-DR in the U.S. and Costa Rica.  Through a frame analysis of mainstream newspapers “of record,” The New York Times in the U.S. and La Nación in Costa Rica, along with independent and campaign discourse in Costa Rica, substantial reflection, negotiation, and rejection of the discourses of neoliberalism and “socialism for the 21st century” was found.  The discourse of the Times largely reflected the discourse of neoliberalism, and La Nación largely echoed the NY Times’ framing.  The Costa Rican discourse was more nuanced than the Times, illustrating the effect of both national cultural, and broader ideological pressures from below. Reflections of neoliberal discourse were found in La Nación’s and the “yes” campaign’s framing of CAFTA-DR, as both sources constructed the agreement as progress and advancement, and good for Costa Rican consumers.  Negotiation of neoliberal and “socialism for the 21st century” discourses was also detected, with La Nación and the “yes” campaign negotiating a middle position by muting the strong individual rhetoric of neoliberalism and instead using more popular imagery of the “people” and “families.”   The discourse of “socialism for the 21st century” was also rejected, as the social movement in the street was constructed negatively, framed as social disorder and tied to notorious, foreign “communist” actors such as Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.  The independent media and the “no” campaign framing of CAFTA-DR through calls to, and images of, the social movement in the streets, reflected the more popular discourse of solidarity and participation that is encapsulated by “socialism for the 21st century.”  Both oppositional sources, however, balanced this reflection with a negotiated position that incorporated institutional resolution of CAFTA-DR (through the referendum, the legislature, etc…) and called for “free” trade with the United States.  Despite this negotiation, evidence of a rejection of the strong neoliberal discourse of individualism was seen, as a main argument against CAFTA-DR was that it would benefit only a few, transnational and local capitalists.

Modeling wing tank flammability

description: An investigation into the fire safety of a wing fuel tank has been performed to aid in the effort to eliminate or reduce the possibility of a wing fuel tank explosion in a commercial aircraft. A computational model is built to predict the generation of flammable mixtures in the ullage of wing fuel tanks. The model predicts the flammability evolution within the tank based on in-flight conditions of a wing fuel tank. The model is validated through supporting experiments performed in an altitude chamber, the wind tunnel facility as well as data obtained from flight tests. The results from the experiments are compared to the computational results. Computational results from the altitude chamber follow the general trend of the experimental results, but produce them at a different flash point. This is due to the replenishment of species with lower flash point at the surface of the fuel which emulates the flash point of the entire fuel to be lower. Experimental results for the aluminum wing tests from the wind tunnel experiments are in good agreement with the computational results as well.A simpler model is developed from a program that calculates fuel air ratio within the ullage of fuel tanks in order to reduce the required number of inputs to the model. This model is applied to the data sets for the experiments performed in the altitude chamber and wind tunnel. For the tests conducted in the altitude chamber, the correlation estimates the hydrocarbon concentrations extremely well during ascent and descent. During the on-ground condition the estimation is good, but not as accurate as the ascent or descent conditions. For the tests conducted in the wind tunnel, the computational values follow the general trend of the experimental values, but the computational values estimates the total hydrocarbon concentration approximately 10% lower than the experimental value consistently.Flammability studies are also performed in order to track the effects of temperature, pressure, and oxygen concentration on the upper and lower flammability limits. For the temperature and pressure profiles considered in this work, it is found that the temperature and pressure effects on the flammability limits are minimal. In contrast, the oxygen concentration has a significant effect on the flammability limits of the vapor; the flammable region narrows with a decrease in oxygen concentration.
Investigating local growth conditions in the flame synthesis of metal-oxide nanostructures
Creators: name: D'Esposito, Cassandra
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The synthesis of metal-oxide nanowires (i.e. WO2.9, ZnO, Cu2O, and Fe3O4) and nanoplates (i.e. MoO2) is examined experimentally with metal-substrate probes inserted into counter-flow diffusion flames (CDFs) at atmospheric pressure.  The quasi-one-dimensional flow field allows for correlation between morphologies and local growth conditions, as well as the tailoring of the flame structure, through computational simulations with detailed chemical kinetics and transport, to provide conditions suitable for gas-phase growth of nanostructures.  Comparisons of products synthesized between methane and hydrogen flames, as well as between locations probed on either the fuel side or the air side of the reaction zone, permit evaluation of the roles of O2 versus H2O versus CO2 in the oxidative route(s) involved.  The as-synthesized nanostructures are characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS).Tungsten oxide nanowires are grown with diameters ranging from 50 to 200 nm at 1720K.  The crystal structure is tetragonal WO2.9, but the growth directions vary with flame conditions.  Single-crystal ZnO nanostructures are formed at 1000, 1300, and 1600K.  All growth mechanisms are possible based on Gibbs free energy calculations.  Molybdenum oxide nanoplates are grown in the methane flame at 2000K on both the air and fuel sides, where similar amounts of H2O and CO2 are found.  In the hydrogen flame, oxidized structures are grown on the air side, and micron sized plates are synthesized on the fuel side.  Cu2O nanowires are grown only on the air side of the methane and hydrogen flames, where large amounts of oxygen are present.  The fuel sides of both flames show nucleation sites on the surface but no nanowire growth.  Iron oxide nanowires are formed on the air side of the methane and hydrogen flames.  Carbon nanotubes and nanowires are grown on the fuel side of the methane flame, while iron-oxide nodules are formed on the fuel side of the hydrogen flame.
