Neu für Griechenland. Der von BLÜTHGEN & GUSENLEITNER (1970) angegebene Fundort "Manfredonia" liegt nicht in Griechenland, sondern an der italienischen Ostküste. GUICHARD (1980) hielt die Trennungskriterien der Arten der parietum -Gruppe für zu vage, um Funddaten von A. gazella, A. longispinosus und A. parietum aufzulisten. STANDFUSS & STANDFUSS (2004) hingegen interpretierten alle ihre entsprechenden Fänge (nur) als A. longispinosus, verbunden mit der gewagten These, dass A. longispinosus möglicherweise eine regional parthenogenetische Art sei, da " A. gazella (Pz.) in den Tieflagen dieser mediterranen Klimazone offenbar nicht existiert und damit ein scheinbarer Mangel als Folge von Verwechslungen der sehr ähnlichen Männchen beider Arten ausgeschlossen ist".
Die meisten meiner Funde stammen aus tiefen Lagen, einige wenige aus dem Mittelgebirge bis ca. 1100m. Ob die vier aufgelisteten tatsächlich zu A. gazella gehören, ist etwas unsicher, da sich die von A. gazella und A. longispinosus weiterhin nicht zuverlässig trennen lassen (siehe Anmerkungen auf S. 965).

Characterization of a pre-vascularized biomimetic tissue engineered scaffold for bone

description: Significant bone loss due to disease or severe injury can result in the need for a bone graft, with over 500,000 procedures occurring each year in the United States. However, the current standards for grafting, autografts and allografts, can result in increased patient morbidity or a high rate of failure respectively. An ideal alternative would be a biodegradable tissue engineered graft that fulfils the function of bone while promoting the growth of new bone tissue. We developed a pre-vascularized tissue engineered scaffold of electrospun biodegradable polymers PLLA and PDLA reinforced with hydroxyapatite, a mineral similar to that found in bone. A composite design was utilized to mimic the structure and function of human trabecular and cortical bone. These scaffolds were characterized mechanically and in vitro to determine osteoinductive and angioinductive properties. It was observed that further reinforcement is necessary for the scaffolds to mechanically match bone, but the scaffolds are successful at inducing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into mature bone cells. Pre-vascularization was seen to have a positive effect on angiogenesis and cellular viability, critical factors for the integration of a graft.
From fable to emblem

description: My dissertation centers on Leonardo da Vinci’s compositional methods in his drawings and writings, and investigates their relationship with scientific diagrams and mechanical principles. Taking my cue from recent scholarship in art history and visual culture—such as W.J.T. Mitchell, Leonard Barkan, and Marco Ruffini—I identify the main sources for Leonardo’s development of visual and written narratives in the books belonging to his personal library. Subsequently, I analyze recurrent patterns in Leonardo’s folios featuring fables, emblems, and engineering projects, and examine the convergence of his use of empirical, diagrammatic, and pictorial strategies toward the investigation of nature. I argue that in order to represent tensions between nature and artifice, Leonardo applies notions of mechanics to his fables, and structures them on a binary scheme that displays simultaneously the causes and the effects of a situation. Then he develops his fables into emblems, which are synthetic texts condensing written and pictorial material, modeled on the same binary structure. By deeply engaging with both visual and textual elements in Leonardo’s manuscripts, my study reveals the intimate links between scientific knowledge and humanistic thought across his oeuvre.

Year: 2018

description: This thesis examines the historic preservation issues facing Paterson, a post-industrial city in northern New Jersey. The role of Paterson’s local government is discussed in its actions and advocacy regarding the economic, social, and historic fabric of the city. The Paterson Historic Preservation Commission and Division, Department of Economic Development, Department of Community Development (CD), and the Housing Authority of the City of Paterson (HACP) are discussed in terms of their historic preservation strategies, policies, and decisions.  This thesis additionally examines Lowell, a post-industrial city in Massachusetts, as a comparison study. Paterson and Lowell share similarities such as industrial heritage, population size, and economic decline that can offer insight into Paterson’s historic preservation strategies.
Demystifying conscientization

description: In social justice work, marginalized youth are often positioned as change agents: people whose critical awareness can be harnessed in the service of political transformation. However, such work commonly portrays youth as naturally insightful about structural inequality and inclined toward activism, neglecting the true complexity of young people’s political orientations. The purpose of this study is to paint a more nuanced picture of Black and Latinx youths’ political identities that takes account of individual youths’ development in relation to the political socialization project of YPAR. I draw on research conducted over the course of a year and four months spent with a group of high school youth as I facilitated youth participatory action research (Y/PAR). I pay particular attention to their politics in relation to questions of race, inequality, and social change, as we interrogated local challenges through a curriculum that explicitly framed inequality as structurally rooted. This study finds that young peoples' responses to learning about structural inequality are complex. Political education can resonate with youth in ways that challenge common sense neoliberal frameworks and expose the class structure as functional and reproductive. However, sociopolitical development does not occur on a linear path; sometimes consciousness develops and sometimes it is submerged by pre-existing beliefs rooted in the same system that is being critiqued. This study demonstrates the complexity of reconciling political orientation to civic orientation as YPAR offered young people the opportunity to pursue civic engagement on their terms in ways that they found personally and politically significant. Opportunities for meaningful engagement illuminate fissures between the civic and the political as the scope and character of civic opportunities may misalign with youths’ political values in ways that may lead to compromise or retrenchment. For progressive civically-engaged youth, critical consciousness development can expose the nuances of the neoliberal state and civil society that have emerged in the modern era under the banner of “progressivism.”

Von dieser grossen, auffälligen Art sind meines Wissens aus Griechenland bisher nur zwei Funde publiziert worden (GUSENLEITNER 1995b), die zugleich die südlichsten europäischen Nachweise waren: 1, Peloponnes, Patras, Rogitika, 26.3.1988, leg. L. Schmidt; 1, Erymanthos, R., Vasilaki, 16.5.1986, leg. E. Bettag.
Nahe des antiken Stadions in Olympia beobachte ich A. antilope nun schon über zwei Jahrzehnte hinweg an einer Steilwand aus Sedimenten des Alfios-Flusses, in der auch eine grosse Kolonie von Anthophora plagiata nistet. Leider ist infolge menschlicher Eingriffe und Verbuschung inzwischen nur noch ein kurzer Abschnitt dieser für Hymenopteren wertvollen Steilwand erhalten. Weitere Funde aus dem Gebirge von Andritsena (ca. 1100m), dem Ithome-Berg in Messenien und in Mistras belegen, dass die Art auch in den Mittelgebirgen und auf der Südhälfte der Peloponnes vorkommt. Mitte April 2000 schwärmte vor dem Eingang der Ruinenstadt von Mistras eine grosse Anzahl von. Milbenbesatz auf dem Propodeum ist auch bei griechischen Exemplaren häufig zu finden.
Abweichend vom aktuellen Bestimmungsschlüssel (GUSENLEITNER 1995b) besitzen peloponnesische A. antilope - oft nur 4 Tergitbinden; bei einem ist auch die Binde des 2. Tergits zu einem kleinen Mittelfleck reduziert.

"Speaking pictures"

description: This dissertation explores the prehistory of eighteenth-century aesthetics. Without a word like "aesthetics" to unite a range of discourses beginning to theorize the role of art in early modern culture, I argue that Sidney, Spenser, Jonson, and Bacon turn instead to the concept of the image, which served as the basis for early modern understandings of representation and the representational arts. To understand why early moderns thought of poetry as speaking painting and painting as silent poetry, I focus on the underlying discourse which made such analogies possible: the art of memory, which helped create a distinction between vision and visualization. Histories of the book, reading, and theater have tended to overemphasize the role of seeing in early modern culture, neglecting the complex and historically specific ways that poets, playwrights, and their audiences sought to address the phenomenological experience of seeing-as-what early poets called the inner "sight of the soul." By demonstrating how visualization or seeing-as shaped notions of form in poetry, allegory, theater, and science, I show how theories of visual cognition in the arts of memory form an important but neglected historical framework for aesthetic discourse before the eighteenth century.

Erste publizierte Nachweise aus Griechenland; GUSENLEITNER (1995b) schreibt jedoch allgemein zu dieser in ganz Europa und bis Ostasien verbreiteten Art, dass sie in Südeuropa im Gebirge anzutreffen ist. Auch meine Funde von der Peloponnes stammen sämtlich aus der Matten- oder Gipfelregion der Hochgebirge oberhalb von 1600m. Bereits in den höchsten Mittelgebirgen, z.B. im Lykaion-Gebirge (Gipfelhöhe 1421m) scheint die Art nicht mehr vorzukommen.
Peloponnesische A. scoticus sind heller gelb gefärbt als Artgenossen aus den Alpen. Bei den ist die Binde des 1. Tergits oft seitlich nach vorne erweitert, abweichend von den Angaben im Bestimmungsschlüssel (GUSENLEITNER 1995b). Hingegen liegen mir bisher noch keine Individuen mit mehr als vier Tergitbinden vor, wie sie in der Türkei vorkommen (GUSENLEITNER 1995b).

description: This dissertation used an interdisciplinary approach to examine facilitators and barriers of the Fat Liberation Movement (FLM). Drawing on scholarship related to identity, organizational identification, social movements, and public policy, this study examined four research questions about how issues of discourse, identity, political action, and internal routines impact the progress of the FLM. Through content, thematic, and frame analysis, the researcher analyzed 3 viral Facebook posts; 27 episodes of The Biggest Loser, My 600 lb. Life, and My Big Fat Fabulous Life; and 27 blog posts from the blogs The Militant Baker and Dances with Fat as well as the online magazine My Body is not an Apology. In addition, the researcher conducted 25 in-depth interviews with active members of the FLM.   Findings from the study revealed three discursive tensions (unnatural/natural, fact/fiction, and acceptable/unacceptable) to illustrate the ways that fat rejection and fat acceptance discourse competed in interaction.   The primary facilitators of the movement were: the use of fat acceptance discourse; identity; identification processes through virtual communities; political action efforts; and internal practices and strategies through the use of social media and blogs.  The primary barriers of the movement were: the use of fat rejection discourse; the acceptance of intersectional identities; a lack of collective organization, and a decentralized leadership hierarchy.  Through the examination of the FLM, rich data emerged to explain several actions movement members participate in through verbal and nonverbal communicative behaviors including language (reclaiming the word “fat”), and physical activity (uninstitutionalized institutionalized political actions), adding to or taking away from movement’s progress. Additionally, frameworks around discourse, organization identification and political action have been extended to the context of a marginalized grassroots movement operating primarily online.  Future directions for research seek to build on matters of identity and identification within the discipline of communication around organizational identification, membership negotiation, and discourse. Practical implications have also been given as recommendations to improve the actions of the movement and its members regarding communication, inclusion, and social movement practices.

description: Chlamydia trachomatis is a gram-negative bacterium and human pathogen responsible for the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the world. Epidemiologic studies indicate that the number of new C. trachomatis infections reported in the US likely approaches as much as 0.5 per a population of 100 every year. This, when paired with the fact that all current forms of treatment for C. trachomatis infections have unintended side effects including harm to gut and vaginal microbiota, has compelled many biologists to look to further research on C. trachomatis in hopes of developing new antichlamydial agents. In this thesis, I review several projects involving C. trachomatis that provide a framework for understanding both the growth and the developmental cycle of C. trachomatis. Through a mixture of in-depth proteomics, transcriptomics, and in vivo assays, I present five overall conclusions: (i) Lactobacilli-derived lactic acid, at concentrations that are physiological in the cervicovaginal lumen, can disrupt the outer membrane complex of and inactivate C. trachomatis; (ii) immunoprecipitation of chlamydial elementary bodies (EBs) using an antibody against a cell-surface protein of C. trachomatis is not an efficient method for purifying the bacterium; (iii) the growth of bacterial species that share significant sequence identity may not always be similar in media containing the same sera; (iv) the Chlamydia-specific transcription factor, GrgA, can stimulate transcription from promoters recognized by two different σ factors of C. trachomatis and has differential affinity for these two σ factors; (v) GrgA may associate  with multiple subunits of the chlamydial RNA polymerase and, considering its role in transcription regulation and its specificity, may prove to be an excellent target for novel therapeutic agents against C. trachomatis.

Design and validation of the automated vestibular evoked tapper of ocular reflex
Creators: name: Desai, Shreyank
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This thesis describes the design, fabrication, and testing of the AVETOR prototype, a   device for evaluating vestibular function in relationship to balance. Current diagnostic   methods of vestibular function tend to be uncomfortable, lack specificity in diagnosing the   problem, and yield inconsistent results. AVETOR takes advantage of the fact that ocular   muscles respond to vestibular activity, and hence can be a measure of the same. The   AVETOR prototype consists of an automated, mechanical striker to stimulate the   vestibular system, sensors to detect muscle activity, and a processor to record and save the   test results. The device uses an Arduino Pro Mini/Dynabrush board capable of controlling   the striker and processing the signals from the sensors. Protocols for testing were   programmed via the Arduino IDE. The AVETOR prototype was tested on three subjects   with and without the application of a 2 Hz tapping stimulus at the Fz location of the   forehead over a period of 8 seconds, as well as with and without purposeful eye movement.   The results indicate that AVETOR meets the required specifications relating to striker   iii      control (frequency, duration, and threshold conditions) and data capture (sensor recording   and file management). FMG was used as a novel modality to detect VOR responses. The   FMG response of the inferior oblique muscles detected a consistent response during   purposeful eye movement, but little to no response during the tap stimulation. However, as   this is an untried method additional trials are needed. Further improvement on the data   acquisition methodology, use of sensors, and studies on the striker’s ability to induce   VEMPs are recommended, but out of the scope of this thesis.
Molecular dynamics studies of nanoscale evaporation and pool boiling heat transfer on modified surfaces
Creators: name: Diaz, Ricardo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Phase change has long been known to be an efficient method of heat transfer, due to the latent energy released at constant or near-constant temperature. Pool boiling in particular has been previously used to remove heat fluxes in excess of 1 MW/m2. As technological advances continue to reduce the footprint of high power devices it is critical to investigate boiling heat transfer processes on the nanoscale, so that more efficient heat flux removal can be achieved. In the present work molecular dynamics (MD) is used to simulate various pool boiling scenarios in order to gain a better understanding of the critical factors affecting nanoscale heat transfer. In the first study the effect of hetero- and homogeneous wettability on nanostructured substrates is investigated to understand evaporation and heat flux characteristics. Results reveal that the substrates modified with hydrophilic nano-posts produce larger heat fluxes than heterogenous nanostructure/base wall combinations, due to enhanced kinetic energy transfer. A new coordination number criterion for liquid argon is developed to aid in tracking vapor atoms. The second study details the effect of contact angle and nanostructure pitch on maximum heat flux. Heat flux is found to increase with increasing pitch and decreasing contact angle, reaching an overall maximum of 159 MW/m2. For larger pitches the superheat at which the peak heat flux occurs increases with both contact angle and pitch. In the final study single-layer graphene (SLG) topped substrates were simulated in the pool boiling of water. Results show improvements over plain substrates of 2-10x in heat flux values, which are on the order of 10 MW/m2. CHF was also found to increase by as much as 14% with the addition of SLG, with lower superheats required to attain the CHF condition.

Die Behaarung des 2. Tergits ist auf der Peloponnes bei A. nigricornis oft ebenso lang wie bei A. oviventri s, so dass dieses im Schlüssel (GUSENLEITNER 1995b) angegebene Merkmal zur Unterscheidung der nicht greift. Ein sicheres, bisher nicht beachtetes Unterscheidungsmerkmal ist aber, auch in Mitteleuropa, die Form der Mandibeln (siehe S. 964). Bei den scheint mir die Färbung der Beine und des Fühlerschafts ein besseres Bestimmungsmerkmal zu sein als das Seitenprofil des 2. Sternits und die Form der Schultern, die beide in ihrer Ausprägung variieren.

Software derived brachial artery function

description: Endothelial dysfunction has been proven to be an early indication of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of death worldwide (Sorsen 1995; WHO 2017). There are three diagnostic methods for endothelial functions discussed: ultrasound Flow-Mediated Dilation (uFMD) that uses ultrasound to determine brachial artery size, Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT) that uses finger pulse plethysmographs, and Cuff Flow-Mediated Dilation (cFMD) that uses pressure oscillations in a blood pressure cuff. Each of the three methods first collect a control or “resting” measurement before obtaining a vasodilation measurement of the blood vessels by occluding blood flow for 5-minutes with a blood pressure cuff. Output for uFMD and PAT testing results in a singular number, percent dilation (FMD%) and reactive hyperemia index (RHI) respectively, based on the blood vessel’s percent dilation (Sorsen 1995; Allan 2013; Whitt 2010). Each method has multiple factors that influence results such as body mass index, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease and a patient’s height (Van der Heijden 2017; Allan 2013; Schroeder 2000). It is proposed that a mathematical model used with cFMD can generate a smooth continuous output for analysis and help understand the effect that transmural pressure has on vessel dilation.    In this thesis, a biomechanical model of the human brachial artery was programmed to represent both the resting and vasodilated conditions of the brachial artery. Data for the resting and vasodilated states of six subjects were collected using cFMD. First, the patient’s blood pressure and heart rate were observed. Next, the resting curve was obtained before a 5-minute occlusion. Lastly, the vasodilated measurements were taken. For each of the 6 subjects, the model was found to accurately represent the data collected for the resting and vasodilated states.     Using the model, transmural pressure was found to influence the vessel’s percent dilation curve. Combining the model with cFMD allows for FMD to be performed without ultrasound, generates a larger SNR, and allows for analysis of percent dilation at multiple values of transmural pressure. The accuracy of the automated model has potential to generate other graphs to understand the artery’s compliance and the effects of physiological functions such as the pulse. Further research should be done to determine what transmural pressure value would be optimal in minimizing the factors that influence test results.
Making race and making space

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Scholars have long approached school desegregation as both a legal and a political problem. More recently, they have acknowledged the limits these framings put on our understanding of the nuanced ways in which identities are formed and have begun to recognize desegregation as a spatial problem. This engagement with space lays the groundwork for shifting desegregation away from a legal and political framing to seeing it as a problem of discourse and representation. Drawing on notions of space from geography and theories of racial formation, this dissertation investigates the relationship among space, race, and educational policy discourses in Prince George’s County, Maryland, from 1954-1975. I use a genealogical approach to historical inquiry in my analysis of primary source documents to consider how space and race were produced through language, and the effects this had on the educational policies that county leadership pursued in the decades following Brown. This dissertation is organized around four policies that emerged between 1954 and 1975: school choice, school construction and closure, busing for racial integration, and school discipline. I argue that each policy contained and reinforced assumptions about race and space that led to the exclusion of communities of color and the preservation of white supremacy within the district.
