description: Multiple myeloma is a malignant tumour of the blood in which abnormal proliferation of plasma cells leads to bone destruction, renal impairment, anaemia, and hypercalcaemia. Renal impairment caused by multiple myeloma is a common and serious condition; however, the prognosis of multiple myeloma at the time of diagnosis remains unclear. We conducted searches for literature in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases up to 30 April 2023. Progression-free survival and overall survival with and without renal impairment at the time of multiple myeloma diagnosis were compared, and prognostic indicators were analysed. Six studies were finally included. Among patients with multiple myeloma, 319 had renal impairment, and 1166 had no renal impairment. Compared to the control group, no significant difference was observed in overall or progression-free survival in patients with multiple myeloma complicated with renal impairment. The limited low-quality evidence available does not support an association between prognosis and multiple myeloma complicated by kidney injury.

Deploying Deep Neural Networks with Resource Constraints
Creators: name: VanderWeide, Theresa
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2022

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have recently gained unprecedented success in various domains. In resource-constrained edge systems (e.g., mobile devices and IoT devices), QoS-aware DNNs are required to meet latency and memory/storage requirements of mission-critical deep learning applications. There is a growing need to deploy deep learning on resource constrained devices. In this thesis, we propose two solutions to this issue: BlinkNet, which is a runtime system that can guarantee both latency and memory/storage bounds for one or multiple DNNs via efficient QoS-aware per-layer approximation. And ParamExplorer, which evaluates hyperparameters of DNNs converted to Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and their effect on accuracy in comparison to the original DNN. ParamExplorer evaluates the search space and identifies an optimal hyperparameter configuration to reduce loss of accuracy.
DELETION OF A GENETIC REGION OF LP17 AFFECTS PLASMID COPY NUMBER AND GENE EXPRESSION IN BORRELIA BURGDORFERI

description: Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease pathogen, is maintained in its enzootic life cycle of tick and mammalian hosts through complex gene regulatory pathways encoded on its uniquely fragmented genome. This genome consists of over 20 plasmids, and the regulatory mechanisms of plasmid maintenance and replication are largely unknown. The bbd21 gene, encoded on linear plasmid 17 (lp17) and a member of the paralogous family 32 proteins, was originally proposed as a putative parA orthologue involved with plasmid partitioning; however, this function has not been confirmed to date. Because lp17 is a high-fidelity plasmid in B. burgdorferi clinical isolates with increasing evidence as a regulatory hub that modulates expression of virulence factors important for host adaptation, it is critical to elucidate the mechanisms of lp17 plasmid regulation and its link to virulence factor expression to understand disease pathogenesis and identify potential targets for Lyme disease prevention and therapeutic intervention.Chapter Two of this dissertation details the characterization of a bbd21-bbd22 deletion mutant and the impacts of this deletion on plasmid copy number and murine infectivity. Our work showed that lp17 copy number is affected by in vitro growth phase and host environment. In spirochetes lacking bbd21-bbd22, we demonstrated that lp17 copy number is altered under high-passage and mammalian-host adapted conditions. In a mouse infection model, we found that deletion of bbd21-bbd22 resulted in decreased tissue colonization, particularly the heart. Lastly, we established that bbd21 transcription appeared to be independent of direct rpoS regulation.
description: In Chapter Three, we present preliminary data to support the possibility that plasmid copy number may impact gene dose and have global effects on gene regulation that is important for microbial pathogenesis by B. burgdorferi. By transcriptomic analyses, bbd21-bbd22 deletion resulted in 50 differentially expressed genes from in vitro-cultivated spirochetes and 145 differentially expressed genes from mammalian host-adapted spirochetes. We show some qRT-PCR data for gene expression validation. Future studies to study the impact of gene dose and virulence factor expression are required to further elucidate this potentially novel regulatory system in the Lyme disease spirochete.

The Changes in Arm Swing During Pregnant Gait

Subjects: Asymmetry

description: Arm swing improves dynamic stability, forms reliable coordination patterns with other body segments during walking, and decreases energy consumption. Examining arm swing may shed light on energy expenditure, fall risk, and potential compensation strategies during pregnancy. The purpose of this study is to examine the arm swing changes that occur during pregnancy, including asymmetry and impacts on balance and momentum. Twenty-three pregnant women were tested in four-week intervals at 18-, 22-, 26-, 30- and 34-weeks’ gestation. Anthropometry and kinematic data were measured as they walked at self-selected speed. Kinematics, balance, coordination, torso center of mass (COM), whole-body momentum, and asymmetry were calculated for each visit. Linear mixed model analyses were used to examine change over time and the interaction between body side and time. Regression analyses were used to determine correlations between kinematics, coordination, torso COM, balance, momentum, and asymmetry. Arm range of motion (ROM) significantly increased over gestation (p=0.006) and was asymmetric (p<0.001), with the left arm having greater ROM throughout pregnancy. The right arm increased at a greater rate than the left, decreasing the amount of asymmetry over time. Torso COM position formed a contralateral relationship with the asymmetrically dominant arm. Torso COM position only increased in the AP (p=0.029) and CL (p=0.033) direction. Torso COM deviation changes were not seen, but ML COM deviation was negatively correlated with arm asymmetry (r2= 0.051, p=0.020, B= -1713.79). Torso COM momentum increased over time (p=0.053) and trended towards being asymmetric (p=0.077). All balance (p<0.060) and momentum (p<0.014) variables significantly changed. Right stance time, left torso SI COM momentum, and changes in arm-leg couplings explain 71% and 67% of the change in left and right arm ROM (p<0.001). Sagittal arm couplings shifted to more arm dominant over time (p<0.042) and these coupling were asymmetric towards the left side (p<0.036). These arm couplings explain 27% of the change in momentum during pregnancy (r=0.521). However, only the changes in thorax-arm and pelvis-leg couplings explain some of the balance changes (r<0.326, p<0.035). Arm swing changes during pregnancy (ROM, asymmetry, and coordination patterns) are not explained by changes in thorax rotations, torso COM position or deviation, or anthropometric measures. However, increased arm swing does contribute to the balance and momentum changes observed during pregnancy. Therefore, the arms may have important implications for maintaining momentum during pregnancy. If arm motion or asymmetry is interrupted by constrained arm swing during a push, pull, or carry task, there may be greater energy required of the lower extremities, causing fatigue and increasing fall risk.

description: This dissertation includes two papers covering independent topics. The first paper discusses the application of the Real-Time Contrasts (RTC) method of process monitoring on competing-risk failure data. Lab test results are simulated to explore theperformance of this approach which is compared to that of logistic regression, another method of process monitoring. A method of feature selection as well as a way to handle fault detection is also discussed.
description: The second paper explores different approaches of modeling the phenological stages of blueberry plants. Different methods explored include ordinal logistic regression models, multi-state models, approximate latent linear models, random forests, and neural networks. Different feature configurations and stage structures are considered. Modeling methods are compared through the mean squared error of the stage predictions as well as the prediction probabilities.

description: Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), studies have found correlations between blood cell count-derived inflammatory markers (BCDIMs) and disease severity and prognosis in COVID-19 patients. However, there is currently a lack of systematic comparisons between procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and BCDIMs for assessing the severity and prognosis of COVID-19 patients. A total of 1040 COVID-19 patients were included in the study. Demographics, comorbidities and laboratory results were analysed. BCDIMs refer to the following ratios: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and systemic inflammation index (SII). Disease severity and 28-day mortality are clinical outcomes of this study. Area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated for these markers, and DeLong’s test compared their statistical differences. Cox regression analysis assessed their predictive value for the 28-day mortality rate. Among the 1040 patients, 35.3% were severe/critical, 49.6% were moderate and 15.1% were mild cases. Within 28 days, 15.1% died. The NLR had the highest predictive value for disease severity (AUC: 0.790, 95% CI: 0.762–0.818). NLR differed significantly from other markers, except LCR. LCR best predicted 28-day mortality (AUC: 0.798, 95% CI: 0.766–0.829). Some markers showed significant differences in AUC with LCR. Multivariable Cox regression identified BCDIMs, PCT, CRP and CAR as significant risk factors for 28-day mortality. PCT, CRP, CAR and BCDIMs, easily obtained in clinical settings, are valuable predictors of disease severity and the 28-day mortality in COVID-19 patients. The NLR is particularly effective for disease severity, while the LCR is highly predictive of 28-day mortality. These markers provide guidance for stratified management of COVID-19 patients.

Further investigations revealed that Schintlmeister (2013) erected Hexafrenum collaris as a valid species, therefore it is now being added to the existing list of Indian Notodontidae. Furthermore, previous distributions were only from NE India. Our primary data adds Western and Central Himalayan distribution for the species.

description: This research evaluated the predictability of the fatigue behavior of modern and historic grade 40 reinforcement when subjected to different strain histories and to characterize differences observed. While several previous studies have investigated the low-cycle fatigue behavior of grade 40 reinforcing steel using constant amplitude cycles with zero mean strain, existing research was minimal for tests with variable amplitude loading and strain histories with positive mean strain that would be characteristic of the strain history for reinforcement bars in reinforced concrete columns subjected to cyclic loads. First, sixteen constant amplitude cyclic tests were conducted to calibrate the parameters of the Koh-Stephens fatigue relationship. The calibrated M and n parameters were calculated to be 0.15 and -0.38 for the modern grade 40 reinforcement, respectively, and 0.07 and -0.45 for the historic grade 40 reinforcement, respectively. Then, twelve variable amplitude cyclic tests were conducted. The damage accumulated over the variable amplitude strain history was tracked using the Miner rule to predict fatigue fracture. Results showed high variability, with coefficient of variations above 0.25 for almost all specimen sets, and high sensitivity to model parameters. Electron backscatter diffraction scans were taken of both the modern and historic grade 40 reinforcement to determine if differences in metallurgy could explain the variability. The electron scans determined that the historic reinforcement, recovered through demolition of 70-year-old in-service bridges, had greater previous strain deformation than the modern virgin-steel bars. It was also found that the grain size of the virgin steel bars was more consistent than the historic bars. These two findings together help explain some of the high variability in the testing data. In conclusion, this study determined that modern reinforcement likely has between 50% and 100% more elongation at fracture and greater cyclic fatigue life than historic bars. This should be considered when evaluating older in-service bridges for retrofit and comparing retrofit strategies using modern experimental tests, as the reinforcement in modern tests likely has greater fatigue life. Additionally, the study identified additional research questions aimed at increasing the predictability of fatigue fracture of reinforcement subjected to variable strain histories generated from earthquake ground motions.

description: Distyly is an Angiosperm reproductive system controlled by a supergene called the S-locus. Distylous individuals exhibit two morphs, the S- and L-morphs that exhibit self-incompatibility (SI) and reciprocal placement of the stamen and pistil. The S-locus contains three or more loci inherited as a single unit in a Mendelian fashion. Traditionally, the S-morph was believed to be heterozygous for the S-locus and the L-morph homozygous recessive. However, recent advances in molecular genetics have shown this is not the case in distylous species of Primula. Instead, the S-morph is hemizygous for the S-locus. In this work, we investigated the molecular genetic basis of distyly in Turnera (Passifloraceae).
description: We assembled the S-locus of Turnera subulata and described its hemizygosity. Annotation of the S-locus showed it is composed of three S-genes; YUC6, which determines male mating-type by auxin (IAA) biosynthesis; SPH1, which likely determines filament length; and BAHD, which determines both female mat-ing-type and pistil length via brassinosteroid inactivation.
description: As the presence of the S-genes likely causes changes to overall gene expression in the S-morph, we next investigated differentially expressed genes between the two floral morphs using RNAseq. This analysis provided additional evidence supporting the hypothesized roles of YUC6 and BAHD. Furthermore, the results suggest that the basis of SI is a complementation of high auxin and low brassinosteroid levels in the pollen of the S-morph and low auxin and high brassinosteroid levels in the stigma of the L-morph (the same scenario in inverse fertilization).
description: Next, we showed that BAHD confers female mating-type but that brassinosteroid is not solely responsible for the recognition and rejection of self-pollen, but that other factors are likely involved. We also formally showed that YUC6 is the male determinant factor via knocking down the expression of YUC6 in Turnera joelii using an antisense construct. YUC6 also determines pollen size dimorphism. Finally, we annotated the genome of T. subulata and identified members of the three S-gene families. This analysis suggests that the S-genes were acquired independently in a step-by-step manner. Overall, this work represents the first investigation into the molecular genetic basis of distyly in the genus Turnera.

Description: The valves are semi-lanceolate with a convex dorsal margin and nearly straight ventral margin (Figs 2–10). The valve length is 5.6–7.4 μm and the breadth is 2.3–3.3 μm (n = 36, Table 1). The central area is expanded on the ventral side only and closed with striae near the valve margin (Fig. 11, 17; asterisk). The raphe is straight with straight distal raphe ending and lie along the ventral margin (Fig. 11). The raphe ledge is fairly well-developed to the dorsal side of the valve (Figs 11, 13, 17; arrow). An axial longitudinal line is not present on the dorsal side. Striae slightly radiate on the dorsal side, but ventral striae parallel to the center and slightly radiated towards the apices. The dorsal striae (27–29 in 10 μm) are biseriate throughout the valve (Table 1), composed of small round or ovoid areolae (Figs 11–15, 17), and are separated by strongly developed costa. The ventral striae are almost invisible under a LM. In SEM, the ventral striae (43–45 in 10 μm, n = 13, Table 1) are uniseriate and interrupted by a central nodule area (Figs 11, 17; asterisk). Internally, a single row of dorsal areolae close to the raphe is delimited by an internal longitudinal rib (Fig. 14; arrow). The dorsal striae and areolae are arranged in one row between the internal longitudinal rib and the raphe (Fig. 14). The areolae are occluded by hymens (Fig. 15; arrows). The fused helictoglossae of the internal proximal raphe endings are small and tongue-shaped (Fig. 14). The internal distal raphe endings terminate with poorly developed helictoglossae (Fig. 14; arrowhead). The girdle bands are numerous, and round or ovoid poroids are arranged in two rows of 44 – 47 in 10 μm on the dorsal side (Fig. 16).

description: Smartbands can be used to detect cigarette smoking and deliver real time smoking interventions. Brief mindfulness interventions have been found to reduce smoking. This single arm feasibility trial used a smartband to detect smoking and deliver brief mindfulness exercises. Daily smokers who were motivated to reduce their smoking wore a smartband for 60 days. For 21 days, the smartband monitored, detected and notified the user of smoking in real time. After 21 days, a ‘mindful smoking’ exercise was triggered by detected smoking. After 28 days, a ‘RAIN’ (recognize, allow, investigate, nonidentify) exercise was delivered to predicted smoking. Participants received mindfulness exercises by text message and online mindfulness training. Feasibility measures included treatment fidelity, adherence and acceptability. Participants (N=155) were 54% female, 76% white non-Hispanic, and treatment starters (n=115) were analyzed. Treatment fidelity cutoffs were met, including for detecting smoking and delivering mindfulness exercises. Adherence was mixed, including moderate smartband use and low completion of mindfulness exercises. Acceptability was mixed, including high helpfulness ratings and mixed user experiences data. Retention of treatment starters was high (81.9%). Findings demonstrate the feasibility of using a smartband to track smoking and deliver quit smoking interventions contingent on smoking.

SURVIVAL AND THERMAL RESISTANCE OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES IN DRY AND HYDRATED NONFAT DRY MILK AND WHOLE MILK POWDER DURING EXTENDED STORAGE
Creators: name: Yang, Yaeseol
Publisher: name: Washington State University

description: Listeria monocytogenes has unique ability to survive in low water activity (a_w) conditions for prolonged time periods and can cause severe health concerns if post-pasteurization contamination occurs in milk powders. The objective of this study was to determine survivability and thermal resistance of L. monocytogenes in dry and hydrated nonfat dry milk (NFDM) and whole milk powder (WMP) for 6 months storage. The hydrated milks were prepared from stored inoculated milk powders only on the day of D- and z-value analyses. This research was designed as two factorial (storage and powder type) randomized complete block design with three replications. Milk powders were spray inoculated with a 3-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes and dried back to their original a_w. The D- and z-values of L. monocytogenes were conducted every 30th day, starting on day one for dry and hydrated powders (prepared from stored milk powders). The respective samples were transferred into thermal-death-time (TDT) disks, sealed, and placed in the water baths set at 75, 80, and 85℃ for milk powders, and 54, 57, and 60℃ for hydrated milk powders to determine the D-values. Two-way ANOVA at P ≤ 0.05 and Tukey's test was used for statistical analysis to compare D- and z-values of L. monocytogenes at specific temperatures. The overall reduction of L. monocytogenes population in milk powders was ~2.2 log CFU/g, whereas the hydrated milk powders had ~2.0 log CFU/mL reduction of L. monocytogenes. The D70°C, D75°C, and D80°C values of L. monocytogenes in NFDM at day 1 were 13.1, 6.0 and 4.0 min, respectively, and for WMP the D70°C, D75°C, and D80° were 12.0, 6.3 and 3.3 min, respectively. Whereas the D70°C, D75°C, and D80°C values of L. monocytogenes in NFDM at day 180 were 19.2, 10.4 and 3.8 min, respectively, and for WMP the D70°C, D75°C, and D80° were 16.4, 9.1 and 5.2 min, respectively. The z-value of L. monocytogenes in milk powders stayed similar throughout the storage period with overall z-values of 17.9°C.

description: A dataset of 4751 EPMA point analyses on cassiterite crystals from 18 localities spanning a range of different granite-related Sn-bearing mineral systems was investigated and compared with thermodynamic considerations from speciation and lattice strain models. The existence of previously inferred charge balanced coupled substitution mechanisms of Fe3+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Nb5+, Ta5+ and W6+ for Sn4+ are confirmed. The homo­valent substitution of Sn4+ by Ti4+ and Zr4+ is also confirmed, and the first evidence for homovalent substitution of Nb4+ and W4+ in natural cassiterite is presented. The preferred substitution mechanisms for Ti, Fe, Mn, Nb, Ta, W and Zr vary systematically as a function of the mineralising environment. Cassiterite precipitated from silicate liquid dominated systems (such as in pegmatites) primarily display a coupled Fe–(Nb,Ta) substitution mechanism with a 1:2 stoichiometry, whereas cassiterite precipitated in systems dominated by autometasomatic processes (such as greisens) more closely follow a 1:1 stoichiometry, as well as increased levels of Ti. Cassiterite precipitated solely from hydrothermal fluids (such as Sn–(W) quartz vein systems) exhibit the highest Ti concentrations, with lower contents of Fe–(Nb,Ta) coupled substitutions, instead displaying a switch to the incorporation of Fe3+ via FeO.OH stoichiometry. Hydrothermally precipitated cassiterite from skarn systems display the highest Fe3+ contents, and the lowest Nb, Ta and Ti contents. These systematic changes define a continuous trend in a Ti–(Fe + Mn)–(Nb,Ta) ternary diagram, allowing for classification of the primary source of alluvial cassiterite. We confirm charge balanced coupled substitution mechanisms for Fe3+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Nb5+, Ta5+ and W6+, and homovalent substitution of Ti4+ and Zr4+, for Sn4+ in cassiterite. We provide the first stoichiometric evidence for Nb4+ and W4+ in natural cassiterite. We show that the concentration of these elements in cassiterite varies systematically and can be exploited for paragenetic classification.
Multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and configuration-interaction study of $4d-3p$ x-ray transitions in Cu- and Ni-like tungsten ions

description: The $4d \to 3p$ x-ray transitions in Cu- and Ni-like tungsten ions have been studied theoretically. The multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method and the large-scale relativistic configuration-interaction (CI) method have been employed in order to take into account electron correlation effects on the wavelengths and transition rates. It was found that the wavelengths and transition rates obtained from the MCDHF-CI method depend strongly on the size and the type of the active space used in the calculations. It has been found that extending the active space of orbitals without careful control of the configuration state function base does not always lead to good quality MCDHF-CI results for highly ionized tungsten ions.
