The role of the media In New Jersey’s 2005 and 2009 gubernatorial elections
Creators: name: Lee, Richard A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: During the first decade of the 21st Century, two developments affected the manner in which New Jersey residents obtained news and information about their state. The size of newsroom staffs at the newspapers covering the state was reduced substantially through buyouts, layoffs, cutbacks and consolidations, and the growth of the Internet altered the manner in which news was gathered, reported and disseminated, placing new demands on depleted news staffs. Although neither development was unique to New Jersey, there is a value in exploring their effects on the Garden State because of the role the media play in ensuring a healthy democracy, namely keeping citizens informed and serving as a watchdog over government and other powerful entities. If the media’s ability to fulfill this responsibility is compromised, there could be significant consequences.     A content analysis of the coverage of New Jersey’s 2005 and 2009 gubernatorial elections, coupled with three sets of interviews with individuals involved in both campaigns, showed that the quality of news coverage declined during this four-year period. Stories were reported in less depth, with less context and with more emphasis on personalities and horserace issues than on substantive public policy matters. The reasons for the decrease in the quality of the reporting were directly related to the staff reductions and growth of the Internet. Individuals involved with the two elections indicated that the New Jersey media’s ability to ensure a healthy democracy declined between 2005 and 2009, leaving citizens less informed and government less accountable.
From Baroque allegory to Romantic sublime
Creators: name: Lerro, Alessio

description: In this dissertation I argue that, from the Baroque allegory to the Romantic sublime, the formation of hybrid strategies of representation based on the interplay of words and images determine a new idea of the reader as a poetic and textual construction. The subject of the work of art is no longer placed outside, but inscribed within the work itself. This new position of the reader implies a transformation of the modalities of reception of both images and words. I consider the crisis of the institute of allegory in the 1&th century as the point of departure for the formation of such hybrid languages and I illustrate how they contribute to design a new image of the modern reader.  In the first chapter, I analyze the structure of the Baroque allegory in paintings, poetry, and in treatises on art. I focus on the emergence of a new sensibility toward the role played by the subject in the appreciation of the work of art. I argue that the theory of conceit, especially in the form of imprese and family crests, is a direct response to the crisis of the classical institution of allegory. In the second chapter I propose a reading of Giambattista Vico’s New Science as a journey of aesthetic education of the subject from the Baroque conceit to a pre-romantic idea of sublime. In the third chapter I argue that the Romantic sublime is the evolution of the problematic relationship between conceit and allegory. I focus on Novalis’ novel Heinrich Von Ofterdingen that I regard as the attempt to turn  the experience of the sublime into a textual experience. In synthesis, my dissertation traces the development of a new rhetoric of subjectivity from Baroque allegory to Romantic sublime. My analysis is focused on figures of speech, narrative structures, and visual representations. The goal is not to create an authoritative interpretation of three centuries of cultural history, but rather to present indicative cases of works that blend the critical borders of categories such as allegory and sublime that have so far not been considered as contiguous to each other.

description: Subgenus Kurodaconus Shikama & Habe, 1968
The species assigned to the (sub)genus Kurodaconus (type species: Kurodaconus stupa (Kuroda, 1956)) form a well-supported clade sister to Conus (Mitraconus) cylindraceus Broderip & Sowerby, 1830, and these two are sister to another clade which contains the type species for the (sub)genus Turriconus Shikama & Habe, 1968, namely Conus (Turriconus) excelsus G.B. Sowerby III, 1908 (see below). In addition to this, species in Kurodaconus exhibit distinct shell and radular morphologies which allow a clear separation from species in Turriconus (see Tucker & Tenorio 2013). For this reason, we hereby consider Kurodaconus a valid supraspecific taxon, rather than a synonym of Turriconus.

Accuracy as epistemic utility
Creators: name: Levinstein, Benjamin Anders
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: As an epistemic agent, my ultimate goal is to match my doxastic attitudes to the world. Matching isn't an all-or-nothing affair. Instead I face a gradational criterion of success: the closer I come to fitting my beliefs to the world, the better. I then have reason to follow a given epistemic constraint on my credences only insofar as I have reason to think it will help me in my quest for accuracy. Truth, in other words, is the highest epistemic good, and closeness to truth is epistemic utility.    In matters both pragmatic and epistemic, an agent ought to maximize her utility, and I exploit the standard apparatus of decision theory throughout the dissertation. However, while rational agents may have vastly different practical utility functions, they mostly agree about which doxastic states are preferable to others. Even if Hume is right that it is not pragmatically irrational to prefer the destruction of the world to the scratching of his little finger, it's epistemically irrational to prefer a credence of 1/2 to a credence of 3/4 in a true proposition. Because the space of reasonable epistemic utility functions is so limited, cognitive decision  theory is a powerful formal tool for answering normative questions in epistemology.     This dissertation develops the decision-theoretic approach. Chapter 1 explores how the quest for accuracy ought to determine derivative norms on doxastic states. I argue that if a kind of epistemic attitude can be taken as primitive---i.e., not derived from a more fundamental kind of attitude---then it should come packaged with a sufficiently robust notion of accuracy. Unlike full-belief and credence, comparative confidence has no prospects for its own measure of accuracy. Chapter 2 examines which epistemic utility functions are rationally permissible. I attack the most popular measures of inaccuracy---quadratic scoring rules---and provide considerations in favor of logarithmic rules. Chs. 3 and 4 apply cognitive decision theory to the problem of peer disagreement.

Modeling of norovirus transmission during slicing and quantitative risk assessment of human norovirus transmission in a foodservice system
Creators: name: Li, Di
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Human norovirus is the leading cause of outbreaks of acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Recent epidemiological evidence indicated that preparation of fresh produce for use as ingredients in ready-to-eat food in commercial settings has been a significant source of the norovirus infections in the United States.   In this dissertation, to help understand the cross-contamination of norovirus during preparation and service of fresh produce product in foodservice systems, we analyzed spread pattern of norovirus from a single tomato to many others via the use of a commercial slicer. Murine norovirus (MNV) was used as a surrogate. A non-linear regression equation was generated: y = -0.903* ln(x) + &.945, (R² = 0.91), where y = log MNV per slicing and x = tomato number.  The MNV levels transferred generally decreased as the number of tomatoes sliced increased, with some exceptions. Infrequent but erratic transfers, where the MNV level of a subsequent tomato was higher than that of a preceding tomato, occurred in later transfer of some trials. This study illustrates the complex nature of risk prediction associated with norovirus cross-contamination during food preparation in commercial establishments.   We also developed a simulation model to quantify the overall effect of norovirus cross-contamination in a food service establishment. For each possible source of initial contamination, using a manual tap versus a hands-free faucet were studied at 0, 30, 50, &0, and 100% handwashing compliance levels to check the number of salads and employees that may end up carrying more than 10 norovirus. When a lettuce/tomato was the initial source of contamination, change of knife and cutting board/slicer every 100 lettuce/tomato units was simulated. Change of tongs after preparation of every 100 salads was also simulated when a manual tap was used. Our model provides valuable information that can be considered for the control of NoV outbreaks. The results from our study suggested that multiple factors should be considered to control the spread of NoV, and that no one or even multiple combinations of factors will completely control NoV transmission risk.

Geographical distribution and bathymetry
New Caledonia: Loyalty Ridge and Norfolk Ridge, at depths between 400 and 600 m. Also reported from the Philippines (Balut Island) and the Kita-Koho area (Philippine Sea), at depths between 285– 325 m. One specimen known from French Polynesia, dredged between 300 and 600 m off Moorea.
Remarks
Shell moderately large to large (maximum shell length 87 mm), ventricosely conical to conical, with a high or moderate stepped spire of straight or slightly concave profile. Larval shell multispiral of about 3.5 whorls. Radular tooth (Fig. 61I) with the anterior section much shorter than the posterior section. The tooth is serrated with 15–18 minute denticles arranged in two or three rows. Small rounded terminating cusp present. Barb well marked. Blade rounded, indistinct, covering most of the anterior section of the tooth. Strong basal spur on top of the rounded base. Prior to radular examination, this species was considered a member of Profundiconus (Tenorio & Castelin 2016). Upon radular examination, it was tentatively placed in the genus Embrikena (Tucker & Tenorio 2013). DNA studies clearly indicate that C. darkini belongs to the same clade as Conus (Kurodaconus) stupa Kuroda, 1956, which is its sister species in the phylogeny (Fig. 2), and the type species for the genus Kurodaconus. Conus (K.) darkini is an elusive species, and very few specimens have been sampled.

Modeling evacuation traffic in degradable transportation systems
Creators: name: Li, Jian
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Transportation systems are at the epicenter of attention when a disaster happens due to their importance in evacuating victims in the pre-disaster phase, as well as providing supplies to the survivors in the aftermath of any major disaster. When disasters happen, transportation systems are degraded by either exogenous risks, such as flooding or earthquake, or endogenous risks, such as accidents and disabled vehicles. Modeling evacuation traffic in degradable transportation networks is thus critical for public officials in developing effective hazard mitigation plans.   Over the past decade, a number of emergency evacuation models have been developed. However, these models are generally developed for so-called “expected” conditions (e.g., clear weather and few accidents) without considering disruptions in transportation systems. Moreover, these models were originally developed for different emergency scenarios with specific algorithms and software tools, which limit specialized analysis of emergency scenarios.   This dissertation aims to provide a new framework and methodology to model evacuation traffic by extending the use of existing regional transportation planning tools. In order to capture the occurrence of congestion during the evacuation process, a pseudo-dynamic procedure is developed and employed. Moreover, in order to evaluate evacuation planning considering the transportation system variability (e.g., incidents, accidents, and extreme weather conditions), we propose an analytical methodology and solution procedure that employs a sampling technique that randomly selects subsets of the uncertainty set to obtain an approximate solution.    The proposed analytical framework and solution procedure are applied to evaluate critical transportation infrastructures in day-to-day degradable transportation networks. Moreover, we also apply the proposed analytical framework and solution procedure to evaluate the impact of endogenously determined risks in order to develop reliable emergency evacuation plans. In addition to evacuation modeling, recently Hurricane Irene (2011) made landfall in New Jersey. We have a special chapter that analyzes the empirical evacuation behavior and constructs an evacuation response curve based on traffic data collected during Hurricane Irene (2011) in Cape May County, New Jersey.

description: Human organic anion transporters (hOATs) play critical roles in the body disposition of clinically important drugs. Understanding the regulation of hOATs has profound clinical significance. My thesis work focuses on delineating molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying hOAT regulation, and consists of three parts.    In the first part, we examined the regulation of hOAT trafficking and function by ubiquitination through cell signaling pathways (protein kinase C, protein kinase A, and their upstream hormones AngII and bradykinin) by combined approaches of cellular biology, site-directed mutagenesis and mass spectroscopy. We identified PKC isoforms involved in OAT regulation. We also identified lysine residues serving as ubiquitin-conjugating sites.     In the second part, we examined transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions by screening two prescription drug libraries against hOAT1 and hOAT3. High potent inhibitors were identified. Computational analyses reveal several important properties which differentiate between inhibitors and non-inhibitors. Such model provides mechanistic insights for predicting new OAT inhibitors.    In the third part, we studied structure and function relationship of hOATs. Critical transmembrane domain and amino acid residues were identified, which play important role in OAT stability, maturation efficiency as well as ologomerization.

description: The complexity of integrands in modern scientific, industrial and financial problems increases rapidly with the development of data collection technologies. Monte Carlo method is widely used for complicated integration. In Monte Carlo integration, it is a natural and flexible method to consider multiple simulation mechanisms instead of one to address different aspects of the integrand. New methods are needed to combine the multiple mechanisms efficiently.    Monte Carlo integration methods are reviewed, with focus on importance sampling methods (IS) and sequential Monte Carlo methods (SMC). The former is commonly used for low-dimension problems. The latter is a variation of IS, which has been developed to be a new branch itself in the recent two decades, and promising for high- dimension problems with sequential nature.    For IS, techniques for combining multiple proposal distributions have been well developed, including Owen and Zhou (2000) and Tan (2004). Important implementation issues are needed to be resolved, including the allocation of sample budgets and the selection of proposals. A two-stage procedure is proposed to optimize the sample allocation, and although little theoretical investigation has been done for such a two-stage procedure in literatures, its optimality among current approaches is theoretically justified. The choice of the first stage sample size is also discussed through investigating the high order performance of estimators. About the construction of proposals, suggestions are given to approximate the perfect case.    For SMC, only the plain vanilla combination of multiple proposals has been used in literatures. A novel SMC filtering scheme is proposed to combine the multiple proposals through the control variates approach in Tan (2004). Control variates are used in both resampling and estimation. The new algorithm is shown to be asymptotically more efficient than the direct use of multiple proposals and control variates. The guidance for selecting multiple proposals and control variates is also given. Numerical studies of the AR(1) model observed with noise and the stochastic volatility model with AR(1) dynamics show that the new algorithm can significantly improve over the bootstrap filter and auxiliary particle filter.

description: Work-function variation (WFV) is the dominant source of threshold voltage variation in emerging metal gate devices. This Seed project aims to investigate WFV in detail by developing an accurate model to explore its effect on ultra-scaled CMOS devices. Furthermore, the quantum effects of WFV in multi-gate non-planar CMOS devices including FinFET, Tri-gate FET and Nanowire FET will be investigated. Additionally, WFV effect on aging characteristics of these metal gate devices such as Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI), Positive Bias Temperature Instability (PBTI), and Random Telegraph Signal Noise (RTS) will be explored and modeled. Simulations will be employed to verify the proposed models and to investigate the effect of WFV on the reliability parameters of digital circuits such as SRAM cells, flash memories and domino logic gates.

The potential effect of triterpenoids in triple negative breast cancer

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) classifies as lacking expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2). TNBC mainly represents basal-like subtype, which consists 80% of TNBC. TNBC has the poorest prognosis and the current standard therapy is chemotherapy.             Triterpenoids have been reported as chemopreventive agents for many cancers, including breast cancer. Since natural triterpenoids such as oleanolic acid and ursolic acid were reported to have weak anti-inflammation and anti-cancer effects, synthetic oleanane triterpenoids have been developed to increase biological activity. One such synthetic oleanane triterpenoid, 2-cyano-3, 12-di oxooleana-1, 9-dien-28-oic acid-Imidazolide (CDDO-Im), is a promising agent with potent anti-proliferation and apoptosis activity against various cancers, but the mechanism of these effects remains unclear.             In the first part of the project, CDDO-Im inhibited the cell growth, induced G2/M arrest and apoptosis in triple negative breast cancer SUM159 cells. Western blot analysis showed CDDO-Im down-regulated cyclin D1, up-regulated apoptosis markers, and increased DNA damage checkpoint markers that lead to G2/M arrest. Moreover, CDDO-Im repressed the protein level of CD44, pSTAT3 and pNFκB in a dose dependent manner, suggesting that CD44-STAT3 or NFκB signaling may play an important role for the chemopreventive action of CDDO-Im in triple negative breast cancer.            In the second part of the project, CDDO-Im decreased CD44+/CD24- cell population in SUM159 monolayers and CD44+/CD24-/ESA+ cell population, which presents as cancer stem cell (CSC) population, in SUM159 mammospheres. CDDO-Im also reduced the number and size of primary and secondary mammospheres in a dose dependent manner.             In conclusion, CDDO-Im inhibited TNBC by inducing the G2/M arrest and apoptosis. CDDO-Im had anti-cancer stem cell effect by decreasing the CSC population. These findings suggest the potential use of CDDO-Im for the chemoprevention of TNBC and warrant further in vivo studies and clinical evaluation.

Time-course of attentional biases for threatening faces in youth with anxiety disorders and nonclinical controls
Creators: name: Lindner, Alison Mary
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Cognitive-behavioral theories of youth anxiety (e.g., Kendall, 1985; Kendall & Ronan, 1990) posit that distortions in the way youth process information may play a role in the etiology and maintenance of these disorders. Research measuring attention allocation for emotional stimuli can test sophisticated models of cognitive processes in youth anxiety disorders, such as the vigilance-avoidance model. The vigilance-avoidance model of anxiety suggests that anxious individuals may demonstrate an attentional bias toward threatening stimuli at the involuntary stages of information processing but then avoid further processing of that stimuli through disengagement or redirection of attention (Williams, Watts, MacLeod, & Mathews, 1988). The current study used a dot-probe task to assess attentional biases for angry, happy, and sad faces at both 500 and 1250 ms in youth diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and nonclinical control youth in order to test the time-course of attentional biases for threatening cues in youth anxiety. Participants were forty-two youth between the ages of 8-1&, with half meeting criteria for a principal anxiety disorder and half serving as a nonclinical control group. All youth completed a structured interview, dot-probe task and paper and pencil questionnaires. When using our full sample of subjects, results from our study did not support the vigilance-avoidance model of anxiety in youth. Additionally, there was no difference between clinically anxious youth and nonclinical control youth on bias scores for angry, happy or sad faces. However, we found partial support for the vigilance-avoidance model when testing only the Caucasian subjects.
