description: Today's college students face a number of new and demanding situations that deplete personal resources, leaving them mentally fatigued, tense, irritable, distractible, and physiologically stressed. One approach to replenishing these personal resources is to interact with settings that minimize the demands on those resources. A natural scene that a person perceives as fascinating could evoke a form of attention that is undemanding and virtually effortless. Exposure to pleasing natural scenes, such as harmless and attractive wildlife, may offer a means by which to capture a person's attention and begin a restorative process mediated by a relaxation response. Using a 1 x 2 between-subjects experimental design, 86 participants drawn from the University of Utah Psychology Department's Human Subjects Pool took part in an experiment that examined the effect that scene type (images of wildlife theoretically deemed to represent either hard or soft fascination) had on a student's capacity to recover their mood (following a social evaluation mood stressor) and experience physiological recovery from induced stress. Also, between-subjects design was used to examine participant's executive, orienting, and alerting attention following exposure to hard or soft fascination images. Investigation into the role of relaxation in mood, stress, and directed attention recovery was also performed. Data garnered from the Attention Networking Task revealed no significant effect for executive attention. Stress reduction, as measured by salivary cortisol, and mood repair were both significant, and partial mediation by relaxation was displayed for the mood measures. The results indicated that relaxation was an effective mood mediator, contributing about 67% of the explained variance for scores on positive mood and 60% mediation for a negative mood. Relaxation was positively correlated with positive mood and negatively correlated with negative mood. The findings from this study affirm the importance of relaxation as a mediating variable, but also demonstrate that perceptions of hard and soft fascination do differ in terms of mood repair. For directed attention restoration, fascination alone may be insufficient, with other attention restoration constructs (being away, extent, compatibility) being essential to replenishment of executive attention. Implications for both Attention Restoration Theory and Psycho-Evolutionary Theory are discussed.

Negro slavery in Utah

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Slavery--Utah
Utah--History

description: That Negro slavery did in fact exist in Utah from 1847 until the  end of the Civil War, is a painful realization to many Mormons. It is  painful because it seems to be in direct opposition to long held religious  convictions. Some Utahns today are amazed at such a claim for two  reasons: first, they have been led to believe that slavery could not  have existed anywhere but in the South; and second, a people as concerned  about moral and religious values as Mormons would not have allowed  it to exist among them. The first contention usually erupts from a  shaky foundation of American History; slavery seems to be automatically  connected with the South and only the South in the untrained mind.  The possibility of any spread of the institution is usually not considered.  And the second is based on a lack of acquaintance with Mormon  History specifically, and especially of Mormon attitudes. Since both  of these arguments are founded on ignorance, the study of slavery in  Utah becomes an intriguing one.

description: To perform a systematic literature review and indirect treatment comparison (ITC) to identify, summarize and quantify randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence evaluating combination anticoagulant or P2Y12 inhibitor with low-dose aspirin versus low-dose aspirin alone for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or peripheral artery disease (PAD). We performed an updated search of CENTRAL, MEDLINE and EMBASE through 23 August 2021 to identify RCTs of adult patients with chronic CAD and/or PAD that compared combination anticoagulant or P2Y12 inhibitor with low-dose aspirin to low-dose aspirin alone. Outcomes of interest included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) including cardiovascular death, stroke, or myocardial infarction (MI) and bleeding. When needed, outcomes were pooled using random-effects models to generate hazard or risk ratios (HRs or RRs) and accompanying 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Adjusted ITCs using subsequent pooled HRs/RRs were then performed. Six publications reporting the results of two unique RCTs (one evaluating clopidogrel + aspirin vs. aspirin alone and the other rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily + aspirin vs. aspirin alone) were analyzed. The ITC suggested that rivaroxaban + aspirin was associated with a lower risk of MACEs compared with clopidogrel + aspirin (HR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.68–0.98). When looking at the individual components of MACE, rivaroxaban + aspirin was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular death (HR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.57–0.98) and stroke (RR = 0.67, 95 CI = 0.49–0.93) and similar risk of MI (RR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.70–1.23) versus clopidogrel + aspirin. No evidence of a difference in moderate-to-severe bleeding, fatal bleeding or intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) was seen between the two treatment strategies. Compared to clopidogrel + low-dose aspirin, the use of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily + low-dose aspirin reduced the risk of MACE, CV death and stroke including ischemic stroke in patients with or at high risk for chronic CAD and/or PAD. These benefits of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily + low-dose aspirin compared to clopidogrel + low-dose aspirin appear to be achieved without significantly increasing patients’ risk of moderate-to-severe bleeding, including ICH or fatal bleeding.
Distinct Roles of Cellular Copper and Erythropoietin Receptor on Hematopoietic Engraftment

description: Cell differentiation is influenced by a combination of cues from both extracellular  and intracellular sources. Recent advances in the regulation of hematopoiesis have  focused on the roles of the growth factors, cytokines, transcription factors and  microRNAs; little attention has been given to the role of cellular metabolism. In the first  part of this dissertation, I explored the idea that an essential cellular nutrient, copper (Cu),  is an active component of cell fate regulators that influence hematopoietic progenitor cell  differentiation. I showed that reducing cellular Cu content by exposing the cells to the Cu  chelator tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) enhanced the generation or maintenance of  erythroid progenitor cells from multipotent progenitor cells in culture. I also provided  evidence suggesting that this effect is likely due to the modulation of cellular energy  metabolism by cell Cu level. In the second part of this dissertation, I investigated the  effects of modulating erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) signaling intensity on mouse trilineage  hematopoietic engraftment and proliferation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor  cells (HSC/HPCs). I showed that neither increasing nor reducing EpoR signaling  intensity influence long-term leukocyte engraftment, an indication of HSC function. I  confirmed the essential role of EpoR on erythropoiesis. I also provide evidence  suggesting a potential role for EpoR in megakaryopoiesis. I also demonstrated that  multipotent progenitor cells with naturally-expressed hyperactive EpoR can proliferate  and differentiate in response to Epo stimulation alone.

A multilevel analysis of China's regional inequality in a geographic information system environment
Creators: name: Li, Yingru
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: China regional development
China economic development
China socioeconomic

description: China's reform and transition have dramatically accelerated the socioeconomic development in the last three decades. At the same time, the unequal distributions of wealth and social resources have been intensified. China's regional inequality has attracted more attention from both policy makers and researchers. The central government has listed "reducing regional inequality" as one important goal of national development. This dissertation research intends to quantify China's regional development during the reform era by detecting the multiscale variation of regional inequality, examining the spatial-temporal hierarchy and influence of multimechanisms, and exploring one consequence of regional economic disparity. First, this project investigates China's regional economic inequality from 1978 to 2007. I analyze the multiscalar spatial patterns of economic disparities with Coefficient of Variation (CV), Gini Coefficient, and Theil Index, and explore the spatial-temporal hierarchy of multimechanisms and their specific influences on regional economy through multilevel modeling. The results reveal the significant role of municipalities for shaping the spatial-temporal variation of China's economic development, and indicate the sensitivity of regional inequality to spatial scale. The analysis also illustrates that globalization has become the prominent mechanism of China's development in the recent decade. Second, this study examines health care and health inequalities as an important consequence of an unbalanced regional economy. I apply Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial statistical methods such as Coefficient of Variation and Moran's I to detect spatial-temporal patterns of health care, and use multilevel regression to examine the linkages between health care, mortality, and regional economic inequality. The analysis reveals that health care inequality is also sensitive to geographic scale, and demonstrates that the concurrent transitions of decentralization, marketization, globalization, and urbanization in China have interactively contributed to health care inequality and mortality. Third, this research conducts a case study in a less investigated agricultureoriented interior province, Henan Province. Such statistical and GIS methods as CV, Getis-Ord Gi*, and geographically weighted regression (GWR) are used to explore the disparities in economic development and health care level as well as to examine the effects of multiple transitions. The results uncover the significant core-periphery and urban-rural gaps in both economy and health care level.
Palmitate evokes ceramide-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation from sources other than nadph oxidase in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECS)
Creators: name: Pettey, Dix Hale
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Insulin resistance

description: In preliminary studies we showed that basal and insulin-mediated endothelial  nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation (p-eNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) production are  impaired when Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells (BAECs) are treated with the saturated  fatty acid palmitate (pal, 500 uM) vs. vehicle (veh) for 3 hours (h). Co-incubation of  BAECs with the ceramide synthesis inhibitor myriocin (myr, 10 uM) negated these  effects. Insulin-evoked 1.73 ± 0.09-fold increases in p-eNOS SI 177 that were abolished  by pal, but were restored by concurrent treatment with myr (western immunoblotting,  n=T6-32, p<0.05). Thus, pal incubation impairs insulin-stimulated p-eNOS SI 177. 100  nM insulin evoked 1.65 ± 0.10-fold increases in NO production by BAECs. These  increases were negated by pal, and were restored by concurrent treatment of pal with myr  (amperometric probes, n=9-31, p<0.05). Thus, we determined that palmitate incubation  impairs insulin-stimulated NO production. ROS can lower NO bioavailability. The  purpose of this study was to determine whether pal increases ROS production in a  ceramide-dependent manner and if so, to determine the source of ROS production.  DCFDA fluorescence was used to assess ROS after BAECs were incubated for 3h with  veh ± pal, myr, 10 uM potassium cyanide (KCN, a mitochondrial ROS inhibitor), or 1  uM N-vanillylnonanamide (NVN, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor). Relative to veh, palevoked  increases (2.8±0.1-fold, p<0.05, n=48) in ROS production were blunted (15±5%;  p<0.05) but were not completely abolished by myr, suggesting the existence of ceramidedependent  and -independent pathways. KCN, NVN, and KCN + NVN lowered (p<0.05)  pal-evoked ROS production by 37±4%, 18±7%, and 39±12% (n=8-32), respectively,  suggesting that in addition to mitochondrial and NADPH oxidase-dependent sources of ROS, additional sources of pal-induced ROS exist. Pal-induced ROS production  decreased further when BAECs were co-incubated with myr + NVN (46±4%, p<0.05,  n=16) vs. NVN alone, but not when myr was co-incubated with KCN (n=12) or KCN +  NVN (n=16). Moreover, pal-evoked increases (p<0.05, n=12) in NADPH oxidase  activity were similar in the absence (1.6±0.2-fold) and presence (2.1±0.2-fold) of myr.  Thus, pal-evoked and ceramide-mediated ROS production in BAECs is not derived from  NADPH oxidase but may arise from mitochondria.
Quasi-static rolling control for hybrid rolling-walking and climbing robots
Creators: name: Phipps, Cristian C
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Robot motion

description: Motivated by the need for greater speed, efficiency and adaptability in climbing and  walking robots, a class of legged robots have been developed which compliment their  walking and climbing capabilities with rolling. Rolling capabilities are provided by  innovative morphologies (including circular cross-section exoskeletons), without the  need for additional resources beyond those required for walking and climbing. Herein is  presented the design of two such robots, the development of quasi-static rolling  locomotion controllers for them, and a comparison of experimentally obtained speed and  energy data for walking versus rolling locomotion.  Rather than basing the control law on simulated model based results as in previous  work, the quasi-static control law developed here relies on the passive stability of a  disproportionately weighted circular shape. On an even slope, such a shape will come to  equilibrium where the center of gravity (CG) is on the line connecting the geometric  center of the circle and the ground contact point. Sufficiently slow perturbations to the  CG position will cause the circle to roll to restore equilibrium; therefore slowly moving  the CG in some polar trajecotry of nonzero length from 0°->360° around the geometric  center of the circular shape will cause it to roll a complete revolution.  Joint paths to produce an orbit of the CG about the geometric center of the robot's  circular shape are generated using a static optimization routine. The intent of this routine  is to find smooth joint angle paths that produce a path of the CG at some specified distance L from the geometric center at angles from 0°->360°. Joint paths are generated offline  for various L values and played back at different rates in order to evaluate the validity of the  control. Experiments on the Rolling Disk Biped (RDB) robot show that in general, trajectory  tracking of a linearly increasing rolling angle reference is improved as L increases and as the  playback rate decreases which is in concert with our quasi-static assumption.  This thesis will show that a feed-forward quasi-static rolling control law may be used to  successfully increase the energy efficiency of a legged mobile robot on a level surface (by as  much as 5.5 times that of walking on the RDB robot). It will also be shown that such a quasistatic  control law may be used to reliably track a linearly increasing rolling trajectory for a  limited range of rolling rates and slopes on the RDB.

The Upwelling Phenomenon in the Gulf of Panama:  A Seasonal Event.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Abstract

Panama is unique in having "four distinct oceans" due to seasonal and stationary changes in physical and chemical conditions influenced by the dynamic position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The Gulf of Panama, part of the Panama Bight climate zone, experiences significant seasonal variations. From December to April, the ITCZ's southern position and north trade winds from the Bermuda high induce sea level drops, upwelling of deep-sea waters, and significant drops in sea surface temperature (14° to 22°C). This upwelling leads to increased salinity, nutrient-rich waters, and supports a valuable fisheries industry. From May to October, the ITCZ migrates north, halting the upwelling, increasing sea surface temperature (28° to 31°C), and decreasing salinity due to freshwater influx.

Since 2017, the Physical Monitoring Program (PMP) of STRI has been collecting data from seven sites along the Gulf of Panama, monitoring water column parameters with multiparametric sondes and cross-verifying with satellite data. Sites range from near Taboga Island to the Las Perlas archipelago, with varying depths and distances from Panama City. Data analysis includes trends and summary statistics.

Satellite data from NOAA and Copernicus Marine Service are used to track sea surface temperature anomalies and wind variables. Historical data since the 1980s identified the first three consecutive upwelling events in the Gulf, influenced by strong north winds associated with the Bermuda High and the southward ITCZ shift. This report, highlighting ecological, social, and economic impacts, is crucial for understanding the region's marine dynamics, particularly during La Niña phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon.
Acoustic waveform inversion of two-dimension Gulf of Mexico data

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Acoustic waveform tomography
Ray-based spatial resolution
Multiscale waveform tomography

description: Acoustic waveform tomography can provide a velocity model with higher accuracy  than traveltime tomography because the forward modeling is based on  the complete wave equation rather than the high-frequency approximation of ray  tracing. Moreover, each trace contains both shallow and deep reflection arrivals  and so is richer in information content than the first arrival traveltime. As a result,  waveform tomography provides a more detailed estimate of the velocity medium  than does traveltime tomography. However, acoustic waveform tomography is  a highly nonlinear inverse solution that requires a good starting velocity model  compared to the smooth starting model that is sufficient for traveltime tomography.  To overcome the nonlinear problems in waveform tomography, I develop a novel  multiscale waveform tomography method and apply it to both synthetic and marine  seismic data from the Gulf of Mexico. The inversion process is carried out using a  multiscale acoustic method with a dynamic early-arrival muting window to mitigate  the local minima problem of waveform tomography and elastic effects in the data.  This multiscale approach is denoted as multiscale waveform tomography (MWT),  and is first validated with synthetic acoustic data from the 2D SEG/EAGE salt  model. Using the traveltime velocity tomogram as an initial model, MWT fails  to converge to the global minimum. I found that the flooding technique normally  used in subsalt migration can be used to significantly improve the convergence of  MWT. The velocity model recovered by MWT using the flooding technique is more  accurate and highly resolved than that obtained using conventional MWT. For the  marine data, MWT can provide a more accurate velocity model than the initial  model from traveltime tomography. The accuracy of the waveform velocity model  is verified by comparing migration images and common image gathers.  I also present ray-based spatial resolution formulas for migration and inversion  with numerical tests on both homogeneous and heterogeneous media. Spatial  resolution formulas are validated for both homogeneous and heterogeneous velocity  models. For both models, the resolution of reverse-time migration images are consistent  with the estimated resolution limits with respect to the Rayleigh's resolution  criterion. A long wavelength corresponds to a high velocity value and therefore  both vertical and horizontal resolution limits tend to degrade with depth in the  heterogeneous model â€" deeper regions have higher velocity values.

description: This thesis develops a new approach to processing transient electromagnetic data. This approach is called time domain electromagnetic migration (TDEMM). The migration method is specifically designed tp process multidimensional time-domain electromagnetic data in order to obtain a resistivity image of subsurface structure which clearly indicates the spatial location of the targets and estimates their anomalous conductivity. The theoretical foundations of migration, a model study illustrating the method's stability and resolution, and an application of the migration procedure to real data interpretation are subsequently considered in the work.
Motor Neurons are Essential for Vascular Pathfinding

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: The nervous and vascular systems are highly branched cellular networks and track along parallel pathways throughout the body. The similarities between these two systems extend beyond the gross anatomical level all the way to the molecular level, as cells in both networks respond to common guidance cues during development. Netrin, one of the first neural guidance cues to be identified, is an example of one of these shared guidance molecules. In the nervous system, Netrin can attract or repel axons, depending on the type of receptors expressed by its leading structure, the growth cone. Here, I set out to define the effect of Netrin on the developing vasculature. It has been previously demonstrated that Netrin1a is required for the formation of a specific vascular structure in zebrafish, the parachordal chain (PAC). Muscle pioneers have further been identified as the source of Netrin1a required for PAC formation. However, the receptor(s) by which Netrin1a signals to regulate PAC formation had not yet been defined. Furthermore, it is unknown if the effect of Netrin on PAC formation is direct or indirect. In this dissertation, I show that Netrin1a's effect on zebrafish vascular development is mediated by at least the effect of two known Netrin receptors: Unc5b and deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC). First, I show that embryos depleted of Unc5b do not form a PAC, phenocopying Netrin1a morphants, suggesting that Unc5b is a receptor that ! mediates Netrin1a's effect on PAC formation. Second, I demonstrate that the effect ofNetrin1a on PAC development is due at least partly to a requirement for motor neuron axon guidance at the horizontal myoseptum (HMS), which is mediated through DCC. The ongoing controversy about whether Netrin1a is attractive or respulsive for endothelial cells appears most in the case of the PAC, where Netrin1a acts on lymphendothelial cells only indirectly, through motor neuron axons. I show that DCC is expressed in motor neurons whose axons track along the HMS, and that depletion of Netrin1a or DCC disrupts motor neuron axon turning at the HMS. Using genetic and surgical approaches, I further demonstrate that motor axons are necessary for PAC formation at the HMS. These observations provide the first evidence that axons can guide vessel formation and pathfinding.

description: Human neutrophils synthesize platelet-activating factor and leukotriene B4 when exposed to calcium ionophore A23187. The role of protein kinase C in the synthesis of these autacoids was examined.  Phorbol 12-myristare-13-acetate (PMA), a direct activator of protein kinase C, did not directly stimulate autacoid synthesis, but enhanced the synthesis of these autacoids in cells stimulated with calcium ionophore A23187.  The protein kinase C inhibitors stearoylamine, palmitoylcarnitine, and springosine, prevented A23187-induced PAF and LTB4 synthesis.  This inhibition took place at the common step in PAF and LTB4 synthesis: release of their precursors from phospholipid stores via a phospholipase A2-like activity; protein kinase C activity was not required for subsequent metabolism of free arachidonate.  A23187 also stimulated incorporation of noneicosanoid-precursor fatty acids into phosphatidylcholine in parallel to its stimulation of PAF synthesis.  This was due to the activation of Lands deacylation/reacylation cycle. Deacylation was accomplished by a phospholipase A2 activity that appeared to utilize both diacyl and alkylacyl phosphatidylcholine. The 1-O-alkylglycerophosphocholine (GPC) thus generated was rapidly acetylated by stimulated acyltransferase activity to form PAF.  Reacylation of 1-acylGPC, as well as the remaining 1-O-alkylGPC, was accomplished by a stimulated acyltransferase activity that did not employ arachidonylCoA as a substrate.  Finally, the regulation of a stimulatable phospholipase D was examined in neutrophils. Protein kinase C activators may activate this enzyme, resulting in the potential generation of second messengers, such as phosphatidic acid, but protein kinase C activation is not required for phospholipase D activity. The fungal metabolite, wortmannin, inhibited receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase D. A model of phospholipase D activation is presented.

description: Getting others to do things is a central part of social interaction in any human society. Language is our main tool for this purpose. In this book, we show that sequences of interaction in which one person’s behaviour solicits or occasions another’s assistance or collaboration share common structural properties that provide a basis for the systematic comparison of this domain across languages. The goal of this comparison is to uncover similarities and differences in how language and other conduct are used in carrying out social action around the world, including different kinds of requests, orders, suggestions, and other actions brought together under the rubric of recruitment.

description: Background: Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacteria pose a major hazard to public health. Due to the possibility of genetic transfer, ESBL genes might spread to pathogenic enterobacterial strains. Thus, information on possible genetic transfer between enterobacteria is of high interest. It was therefore the aim of this in vitro study to screen the capacity of a wide range of Enterobacteriaceae for differences in conjugation at different time points with five ESBL-producing Escherichia coli strains. Results: Conjugation frequencies for five potential E. coli donor strains producing the enzymes CTX-M-1, CTX-M-15, SHV-12, TEM-1, TEM-52 and CMY-2, and six potential recipient strains commonly detected in the gastrointestinal tract of poultry (E. coli, Serratia marcescens subsp. marcescens, Enterobacter cloacae, Salmonella (S.) enterica serovar Typhimurium and Proteus mirabilis) were obtained. Different combinations of donor and recipient strains were co-incubated for between 0 and 22 h and spread on selective agar. Conjugation frequencies were calculated as transconjugants per donor. Some donor and recipient strain combinations did not perform plasmid transfer within 22 h. Hence, the recipient Proteus mirabilis did not accept plasmids from any of the given donors and the E. coli ESBL10716 donor was unable to transfer its plasmid to any recipient. Enterobacter cloacae only accepted the plasmids from the donors E. coli ESBL10708 and E. coli ESBL10716 while E. coli ESBL10708 did not transfer its plasmid to Serratia marcescens subsp. marcescens. E. coli IMT11716 on the other hand did not perform conjugation with the donor E. coli ESBL10689. The remaining mating pairs differed in conjugation frequency, ranging from 10− 5 to 10− 9 transconjugants/donor. The earliest conjugation events were detected after 4 h. However, some mating pairs turned positive only after 22 h of coincubation. Conclusion: A suitable mating pair for future in vivo studies to combat transfer of antibiotic resistance to pathogenic bacteria in broiler chicken was determined. The results of this study also suggest that the kinetic of conjugation differs between mating pairs and is independent of species origin. This should be considered when performing conjugation experiments.

description: ABSTRACT Intercultural communication has been known to refer to communication, which takes place amongstthe individuals from distinctive cultures. However, problems and challenges are evident in cases where people are notable to accommodate one another or communicate effectively across cultures. This paper evaluates interculturalcommunication challenges and their effect on students’ interpersonal relationships at a South African university.Purposive sampling technique was adopted and data was collected through two focus groups and analysed qualitatively.Interestingly, this paper revealed that there is cultural prejudice, stereotyping, ethnocentrism and cultural conflictamong the students of this selected university, which negatively affects interpersonal relationships among students.Therefore, responding to this problem, this paper recommends that the university should put more effort in reducingintercultural communication challenges through regular engagement of cultural educational programmes within theuniversity that will gather different students of distinctive cultural groups together.

description: Caffeinated and fructose-rich beverages are widely consumed among women of reproductive age but their association with reproductive hormones is not well understood, due in part to inadequate exposure assessment. Our objectives were to 1) assess the relationship between caffeine and fructose intake and reproductive hormones in healthy premenopausal women, evaluating potential effect modification by race; and 2) determine the validity of the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) for measuring monthly caffeinated beverage intake compared to multiple 24-hour dietary recalls (24HDR). The BioCycle Study (2005-2007) prospective cohort (n=259) included women, ages 18-44, who were followed for 2 menstrual cycles, providing fasting blood specimens at up to 8 visits per cycle, 4 24HDRs per cycle, and an FFQ at the end of each cycle. Caffeine intake ≥200 mg/day was inversely associated with free estradiol (E2) concentrations among white women (β=-0.15 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.26, - 0.05] and positively associated among Asian women (β=0.61 [95% CI: 0.31, 0.92] after taking into account potential confounders. Women who consumed more added sugar than an average American woman (≥ 73.2 grams/day) or above the 66th percentile in fructose intake (≥ 41.5 grams/day) had elevated free E2 concentrations compared to women who consumed less. Women who consumed ≥1 cup/day of sweetened soda had elevated free E2 (β=0.15 [95% CI: 0.06, 0.24]. Neither artificially sweetened soda intake nor fruit juice iv intake ≥1 cup/day was significantly associated with reproductive hormones. Caffeine intake reported in the FFQ was greater than that reported in the 24HDRs (mean=114.1 versus 92.6 mg/day; P=0.006) despite high correlation (r=0.80, P<0.001) and moderate agreement (kappa=0.56, 95% CI: 0.42-0.70). In summary, moderate caffeine consumption was associated with reduced E2 among white women and elevated E2 among Asian women. Added sugars, total fructose, and sweetened soda were associated with elevated E2 among all races. Further research on the association between caffeine, caffeinated beverage components and reproductive hormones, and whether these relationships differ by race, is warranted. Additionally, although caffeine exposures are highly correlated, absolute intakes differ significantly between measurement tools, highlighting the importance of considering potential misclassification of caffeine exposure when conducting women's health epidemiologic studies.

Ash analysis and clinker formation of Utah coals
Creators: name: Butler, Earl B
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Coal ash

description: The object of this investigation was to find if there is a relation between the analysis of coal ash and clinker formation and to determine if the use of additional agents  in coal will improve clinker formation. The conclusions reached are that a monosilicate or high silicate ash will give the most desirable kind of clinker and that the addition of finely divided silicia or of limestone can be used to control clinker formation. The addition of  these agents indiscriminately will not be of any value.
