description: The objective of the study was to characterize yeast strains from symptomatic, asymptomatic women and asymptomatic pregnant women. Methods: In this study we collected 300 samples of high vaginal swab from symptomatic, asymptomatic women and asymptomatic pregnant women 100 each from each group. The swabs were cultured on SDA, CHROMagar Candida, carbohydrate assimilation was done using ID32C (Biomerieux, France) , PCR was done in all the isolate, MIC for Fluconazole and Itraconazole using E- test strip, growth at 450and in 6.5% Nacl was also evaluated. Results: From the study it was observed that there was no significant difference between the three groups studied with p- value > 0.05 and the most isolated species was Candida albicans 53%, Candida glabrata 20.5 %, Candida tropicalis 12.8%, Candida parapsilopsis 8.5% and others 5.1%. Co- habitation was also observed among the species. Fluconazole: MIC<8µg/ml was taken as sensitive; MIC>8µg/ml and ≤32µg/ml was considered sensitive but dose dependent (SDD) and MIC>32µg/ml was read as resistant. For Itraconazole: MIC ≤ 0.125µg/ml taken as sensitive; MIC> 0.125µg/ml and ≤ 0.5 µg/ml taken as sensitive but dose dependent and MIC > 0.5 µg/ml was read as resistant (NCCLS, 1997). Conclusions: We found out that asymptomatic women harbor different Candida strains and that there was co - habitation within the same individual. It was also concluded that symptomatic vaginal Candidiasis may result from patient change in immune status which will allow the proliferation of the Candida strains that was kept in check.

Mercury and methyl mercury in the Great Salt Lake: overview and analysis
Creators: name: Karra, Udayarka
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Great Salt Lake watershed

description: Mercury is one of the most toxic trace elements that is found in the environment,  and has no recognized biological functions. Nevertheless, it is being introduced at  profoundly alarming rates through various anthropogenic activities. The global cycle of  Mercury (Hg) is a result of slow and complex bio-physiochemical transformations,  involving various environmental pathways, and influencing its speciatiation into the  highly toxic methylated form known as methyl mercury. This has resulted in  bioaccumulation and biomagnification of mercury in the various water bodies of The  United States, including the Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah.  The GSL watershed and the surrounding wetlands are of critical importance, and  are instrumental in the sustenance of the regional ecosystem. Recent studies have  reported alarmingly high concentrations of mercury in the Great Salt Lake (GSL), posing  serious questions on its ecological viability. Bacteria-mediated methylation of mercury in  wetland sediments has come to be an issue of recent concern and this is the focus of  interest in this study. The research approach employed involved the synoptic analysis of  the Total Mercury (THg) and Methyl Mercury (MeHg) concentration in the water column  and sediments of the Farmington Bay (FB) in GSL, Utah Lake, and upper and lower  sections of the Jordan River. Further, sediment samples were collected at three locations  from a site in the wetlands of FB duck clubs to evaluate (1) the rate of mercury  methylation, and (2) the ecology of sulfate reducers, which possibly participated in mercury methylation.  The total and methyl mercury concentrations in the water column of Farmington  Bay analyzed were 19.05±9.48 ng/L and 1.49±1.19 ng/L, respectively; the Utah Lake  water column and the corresponding sediments total and methyl mercury concentrations  were 2.74±0.393ng/L, 0.0536±0.024 ng/L and 27.13±2.58 ug/Kg, 0.0717±0.0235 ^ig/Kg,  respectively. In the upper section of the Jordan River, mercury concentrations in the  water column and the sediments estimated were 19.95±0.78 ng/L, 0.18±0.08 ng/L and  18.5±0.282 fig/Kg, 0.021 ±0.0 (Jg/Kg, respectively while, in the lower sections were  26.9±0.78 ng/L, 0.64±0.07 ng/L and 79.05±29.63 |ng/Kg, 0.15±0.023 ug/Kg,  respectively. The average mercury methylation rates for the three sites in the FB duck  clubs were estimated to be 0.018±0.001 /day. The phylogenetic analysis and diversity of  the sulfate reducers has been analyzed and reported. The majority of the clones belong to  the family of Desulfobacteraceae, signifying that the acetate-utilizing family of Sulfate  Reducing Bacteria (SRB) may be more prevalent and the phylogenetic study established  diversity within the sulfate reducers belonging to the four major genuses of  Desulfovibrio, Desulfobacter, and Desulfonema.

description: The application of anthropomorphic features to robots is generally considered to be beneficial for human- robot interaction. Although previous research has mainly focused on social robots, the phenomenon gains increasing attention in industrial human-robot interaction, as well. In this study, the impact of anthropomorphic design of a collaborative industrial robot on the dynamics of trust is examined. Participants interacted with a robot, which was either anthropomorphically or technically designed and experienced either a comprehensible or an incomprehensible fault of the robot. Unexpectedly, the robot was perceived as less reliable in the anthropomorphic condition. Additionally, trust increased after faultless experience and decreased after failure experience independently of the type of error. Even though the manipulation of the design did not result in a different perception of the robot’s anthropomorphism, it still influenced the formation of trust. The results emphasize that anthropomorphism is no universal remedy to increase trust, but highly context dependent.

description: Few studies have examined the health of porter populations worldwide and none of the porters in Mount Kenya National Park. Because of health concerns (e.g., load weights and wage inequality), a health promotion partnership was formed between a team of university professors and students and the Kenyan Wildlife Service to improved porters' health by implementing a number of employment policy changes as well as wilderness medicine and health promotion workshops. The specific aim of this evaluation using a mixed method data collection strategy was to assess changes in the overall health of the porters to determine the effectiveness of partnership interventions (e.g., policy changes, pack weight restrictions, wage guidelines, health promotion, and wilderness medicine workshops) on four outcome variables. The major research question was whether porters had experienced any improvements in their physical health, economic health, social health, and institutional health related to the interventions since the beginning of their employment. Changes in the porter's health were evaluated using a mixed method research design involving both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Qualitative methods involved a narrative interview approach among 15 porters. Quantitative methods included a quasi-experimental recollection proxy pretest design involving a retrospective pre- and posttest survey of 70 porters. The survey measured the four major outcome domains and used modified standardized surveys from other porter populations. The iv survey instrument was pilot tested and validated prior to use in this study with a similar population of 115 porters of Mount Kenya National Park. A convenience and snowball sampling method was used to enroll participants who all consented to participation following IRB approved methods. Data collection was done verbally with all questions and responses read to the porters with the help of a translator. The porter's responses were directly entered into an SPSS database on the researcher's laptop computer. The data analysis used SPSS in determining statistical significance using paired sample t-tests. The quantitative survey revealed statistically significant positive pre- and posttest mean changes with p values below p < .01 in favor of improved working conditions in all of the four health outcome variables of interest. The identified themes helped to better explain the quantitative findings and support future policy recommendations to the Kenyan Wildlife Service, the land managing agency for Mount Kenya National Park. This study suggests that working conditions for the Mount Kenya National Park porter population are improving over time with advocacy of the health promotion partnership and interventions to increase health education, policy changes and monitoring of the recommended porter load weights and minimum wages. .

description: This thesis describes the experience in enabling a legacy application as a grid  service. The work presented here describes an attempt to achieve semantic integration  when enabling legacy applications into a grid environment. The author successfully  achieved semantic integration of GeneHunter within the caBIG grid at the silver level by  creating a new UML model, LinkageX, for the LINKAGE data format. The LinkageX  UML model has been published in the caDSR and it is publically available for usage with  GeneHunter or any other program using this data format. As a result of this work it was  concluded that while achieving semantic interoperability is still a difficult and time  consuming task, the tools available in caBIG can greatly enhance productivity and  decrease errors. The benefits in achieving semantic interoperability of legacy tools and  data sources justify the additional work required.
Geriatrics training in family practice residencies.

Subjects: Graduate
Internship and Residency

description: To determine how teaching objectives in geriatrics are being met in the family practice residencies in the United States, a questionnaire was sent to each residency site.  This questionnaire, consisting of six parts, asked questions about the geriatrics training concerning:  the time allotment, the facilities used, the faculty carrying out the training, the mode of didactic teaching evaluation strategies and funding for the graining.  The results indicate preference for a continuous training experience throughout the residency, a high value placed on nursing homes and family practice centers for teaching sites, and a high value placed on family practice faculty members as teachers of geriatrics.  Patient care experience is preferred over didactic learning and no evaluation scheme unique to geriatrics is used.  Most programs are not self-supporting from patient revenues but depend on outside funding.  To determine learner satisfaction with current teaching methods in geriatrics, a sampling of physicians who had trained in family practice residencies offering geriatrics were identified by asking each such program to identify three gradates of its institution who were seeing geriatrics patients in their practices.  These physicians were asked to identify and to rate their geriatrics training components (limited to the first four areas of the questionnaire sent to the residencies).  Of the 183 eligible candidates, 111 returned the questionnaires.  The results indicate a high degree of satisfaction with most methods being used for teaching geriatrics, including a high value placed on nursing homes, family practice centers, and family practice faculty members as teachers.  The results imply a need for faculty development in geriatrics for all family practice faculty members and a need to routinely utilize nursing homes and family practice ambulatory centers for geriatrics training.

description: Additive manufacturing of composites materials is rapidly gaining interest in the aerospace industry due to the technique’s flexibility and the high strength to weight ratio of polymer composites. Toray has recently developed a novel continuous carbon fiber (CCF) composite filament with Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) resin matrix (CCF/PPS). With a high volume fraction of fibers, 50 Vf%, this new filament could introduce significant improvements in mechanical properties upon existing alternatives such as chopped fiber and continuous fiber composites with lower fiber volume fraction. In this investigation, we tested this novel material using fused deposition modeling and quantitatively evaluated the contributions of the printing parameters to the print quality using a Design of Experiments (DOE) approach. The printing parameters included the print height, nozzle temperature, printing speed, and flow rate. We found correlations between the printing parameters to the surface roughness, dimensional accuracy, crystallinity, and microstructure of the printed materials. The resulting printing conditions can be adopted in further scientific investigations as well as serve in the fabrication of high-quality components of this CCF/PPS composite material.

Residual stress

description: Gradual variations in composition and/or structure through the volume of functionally graded materials (FGMs) generally result in corresponding continuous spatial variations in mechanical/physical properties, and often in significant residual stresses that develop during processing. Due to inhomogeneous properties in these materials, residual stress measurement in FGMs can be a very challenging problem. In this study, residual stresses in functionally graded cemented tungsten carbide (FG-WCCo) were investigated by numerical, analytical and experimental approaches by means of a layer removal technique. The numerical method consisted of finite element analysis (FEA) modeling for the FGM plate, in order to calculate residual stress distribution over the volume and to develop a method for predicting residual stress levels in closely related materials. The analytical procedure embodied a mathematical approach to determine residual stress distributions, and analytically determined values are compared with those obtained from FEA modeling and experimental results. The experimental approach consisted of fabricating and heat treating FG-WC-Co flat samples, then measuring strain changes by strain gauge after each sequential layer removal from the opposite side of the specimen from the graded region. Good agreement was found between analytical, numerical and experimental results. Furthermore, thermal residual stress distribution in FG-WC-Co hollow cylinder was examined with an emphasis on the effects of key variables, the gradient profile and the gradient thickness, on the magnitude and distribution of the stress field. An analytical direct solution based on solving the governing equations of a cylinder composed of a uniform inner core and a functionally graded outer shell was developed. The cylindrical compound was considered as two separate elements: homogeneous cylinder and functionally graded shell. Material properties, such as the elastic modulus and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), were considered to vary as a power function of the radius, and proper mechanical boundary conditions were imposed at the interface of the cylinders. Finally, having validated the FEA model for the FGM plate, the FEA model approach was investigated for more complex geometries, such as cylindrical and dometop inserts, and the effects o f different design and geometric parameters on the distribution of residual stress are presented.

Subjects: Logistic Regression
Time-point Models

description: This study predicted graft and recipient survival in kidney transplantation based on the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) by regression models and artificial neural networks (ANNs). Four categories of models were examined: single time-point models (logistic regression and single-output ANNs) versus multiple time-point models (Cox models and multiple-output ANNs).  The results showed that kidney transplant survival could be predicted by regression models and ANNs, with good prediction discrimination and model calibration. In AUC (area under the ROC curve) measurements, logistic regression ranged from 0.71 to 0.81; single-output ANNs from 0.72 to 0.82; Cox models from 0.65 to 0.78; multiple-output ANNs from 0.59 to 0.82. In Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p values for logistic regression and single-output ANNs were above 0.05 indicating good calibration, while p values for Cox models and multiple-output ANNs were in general below 0.05, indicating poor calibration.  This study established for the first time that: 1) Single time-point models may be more appropriate than multiple time-point models if the predictors have significantly different effects on short-term versus long-term survival. 2) Logistic regression is able to achieve comparable performance as ANNs if there are no strong interactions or nonlinear relationships among the predictors and the outcomes. 3) Multiple-output ANNs may perform poorly when a large proportion of observations are censored. 4) Appropriate baseline survivor function should be specified for Cox models in order to achieve good model calibration when the clinical decision support is designed to provide exact predicted survival rates instead of a relative percentile in survival.

description: In this dissertation, the calcium phosphate nanoreactor with encapsulation of fluorescenet dye was developed for high resolution and accuracy of pH sensing. The nanoreactor was made of a calcium phosphate shell covering egg phosphatidylcholine liposomes that were filled with a pH sensitive dye. The coating of calcium phosphate protects the lopsome-encapsulated fluorescent dyes from interference with surrounding molecules and provides a biocompatible interface for the nanoreactor device. Various synthesis conditions were examined to establish an optimized recipe for the production of stable and reproducible nanreactors. The mean diameter of synthesized nanoreactors was measured to be around 100 nm with dynamic light scattering, the shell thickness was determined to be about 15 nm with TEM, and calcualtions were used to estimate about 10 dyes/particle. The dual wavelength emission pH sensitive dye, carboxySNARF-1, was encapsulated into the nanoreactor to build a pH responsive nanosensor and shown to provide accurate pH measurements even in complex biological media, where the unprotected pH responsive dyes have failed. The nanoreactor's response time to pH change nearly equals that of the dye in solution. Its pH titration curves at two different wavelengths are equivalent to those of the dye in solution, and fluorescence intensity ratio dependent pH analysis is possible using the modified Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.      In addition, the fluorescence emission and photodegradation properties of the fluorescent dye fluorescein inside nanoreactors were studied in detail. Flurescein dye molecules tend to from stable./ -assregates inside the nanoreactors. The molecular collision rate constants between the dye aggregates and between the dyes and soluble quenchers were found to be greatly reduced inside the nanoreactors and this is thought to be responsible for the observed resistance to photodegradation and reduced emission quenching of the dye at high internalized dye concentration. Nanoreactors were concentrated to a high suspension concentration, yielding exceptionally strong luminescence affected only by inner filter effects absent particle-particle crosstalk. These results suggest that the interference to the dye for the pH analyses with the environmental molecules may be reduced or prohibited by usage of dye encapsulated nanoreactors.

description: Tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy are ancient human diseases, as demonstrated by an abundant  osteoarchaeological record and by molecular analyses of prehistoric and historic human remains affected by the disease. Unfortunately, mycobacterial infections (which include TB and leprosy) are not diseases of the past. Today, mycobacteria are still an enormous burden to humans, with an estimated two billion individuals currently being affected by the disease (in a latent or active stage) worldwide. It has become clear that these successful human pathogens can rapidly adapt to their changing environment and host. Evolutionary theory provides an excellent framework to test hypotheses that aim to explain how these pathogens are able to sustain such changes. Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms of the genus Mycobacterium will improve our understanding, and perhaps our ability to control, the processes that yield to these pathogens' evolution and acquisition of drug resistance. Among these adaptive mechanisms, recombination is without doubt an effective way to acquire foreign genetic material into the mycobacterial genome.

description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) rates continue to rise in the United States. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for half of all deaths in patients with end stage renal disease. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an indicator of inflammation and is a recognized predictor of CVD. Recent evidence supports an inverse relationship between dietary fiber and CRP in healthy populations and populations with chronic disease, but its association with inflammation in CKD has not been thoroughly explored. Dietary fiber is generally restricted in dialysis patients. It is unknown if dietary fiber could play a role in reducing CRP in CKD patients.

description: The mercury in coal is emitted in its elemental state when the coal is burned. As the combustion flue gas cools, reactions under homogeneous and heterogeneous  conditions between mercury and species such chlorine, bromine, SOx and NOx can take place. The temperature and concentration of these species determines the extent of mercury oxidation.  The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of bromine, chlorine, SOx and NOx on gas-phase mercury oxidation reactions in flue gas. This study used a  methane-fired, bench-scale reactor and CHEMKIN software for performing kinetic calculations. The model included reaction pathways to account for halogen, mercury, and combustion chemistry.  The experimental results showed that chlorine is not effective as a gas-phase oxidant of mercury compared with other halogens such as bromine. In presence of  bromine, a significant extent of mercury oxidation was observed at the two quench rates evaluated in this study. Extents of oxidation in the presence of bromine decreased when SO2 was present.  A wet conditioning system was used to determine mercury speciation in oxidized and elemental species. The total side of the system reduces oxidized mercury back to elemental using a stannous chloride-hydrochloric acid solution. The elemental side contains a solution of potassium chloride-sodium thiosulfate which retains oxidized species and does not interact with the elemental mercury species. A solution of sodium hydroxide was installed in both sides of the conditioning system to remove acid species before they reach the mercury analyzer. The solutions on both sides of the conditioning  system, the total and the elemental, were modified to decrease biases in measurements when working with bromine.  Replacing the combustion air with a mixture of 27%O2 in CO2 caused a large increase in the apparent extent of oxidation by chlorine, increasing it from 2% to 70% at  100 ppm Cl (as HCl). Oxygen firing had little impact on oxidation by bromine. The presence of 500 ppm SO2 caused a dramatic decrease in oxidation, particularly for  chlorine.

affordances

description: How do manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises perceive and realize the potential of emerging technologies for the innovation of smart product-service systems? We address this question by conducting nine expert interviews with representatives in the manufacturing sector. We apply qualitative content analysis to identify current practices, affordances, and constraints in the adoption of technologies to evolve offerings towards smart product-service systems. Building on this inductive empirical approach, we postulate three overarching affordances and four constraints that companies perceive in this process. We conclude by reflecting on applying affordances as our theoretical lens and postulate a multi-level approach to grasp and outline the multi-faceted implications of emerging digital technologies on organizations.

Contact improvisation

description: This thesis investigates how identity is shaped by our relationships with other  people. It examines how identity "disappears" when we lose meaningful connections to  the outside world. I discuss how dance, and specifically Contact Improvisation, brings us  into deeper relationship with ourselves and others through its collaborative nature and  unique embodied perspective. In this research, I include personal movement experiences  that have illuminated my own identity as a human being and dance artist. Finally, I  address how my understanding of relationship has informed and transformed my identity  as a performer, choreographer, and teacher.

Genetic Analysis of Subcellular Branching in Drosophila Tracheal Terminal Cells

description: All cells have distinct cellular architectures that are critical for their function. A dramatic example of this relationship can be observed in cells that undergo subcellular branching. In this case, cells must first specify distinct branch sites and then outgrow cellular projections from those sites, resulting in a branched cellular morphology. Branching morphology is a common type of cell shape, examples of which include glial oligodendrocytes found in the human brain, dendritic cells of the mammalian immune system and by far the best studied example, neurons. Tubulogenesis or lumen morphology is another type of cell formation common throughout biology. Cellular tubes transport liquids and gases within animal tissues and are often found in elaborate organ systems that span the entire body including the human respiratory and circulatory systems. Despite the importance of these forms of cell architecture, little is known about the genes and molecular machinery that are required for developing branched tubular cells. Drosophila larval tracheal terminal cells are single, highly branched cells that have a subcellular lumen running through each branch. These cells are located at the ends of a network of interconnected tubes and are the final, and critical step in delivery of oxygen and other gases to animal tissues. Terminal cell development, which occurs primarily during larval stages, includes three distinct morphological processes: cell growth, subcellular branching and tubulogenesis. Cell outgrowth is a general process that is used by many other cell types to enable the overall growth. Subcellular branching is a iv specialized process that includes sending cellular projections out from the plasma membrane towards other cellular targets. Lastly, tubulogenesis is the process of forming a space or lumen within a cell through which gas can flow. Here, we use Drosophila larval terminal cells, a component of the respiratory system, to investigate the cellular mechanisms required for development of two distinct cellular morphologies, subcellular branching morphogenesis and subcellular lumen formation. Work described here focuses primarily on progress made in elucidating mechanisms of branch specification and branch outgrowth. We have found that the PAR-polarity protein complex is required for terminal cell branching and that through the Rho GTPase Cdc42, and other PAR proteins, the exocyst facilitates polarized membrane addition required for terminal cell branch outgrowth.
