Roles of fibroblast growth factors in inner ear development
Creators: name: Hatch, Ekaterina
Publisher: name: University of Utah

Subjects: Inner Ear
Growth and Development

description: Understanding the molecular and genetic mechanisms responsible for the development of the vertebrate inner ear, which mediates hearing and equilibrium, is an ongoing quest in developmental biology. Most of the cells found in the sensory tissue of the mature inner ear are derived from an ectodermal placode that is located adjacent to the developing hindbrain. This tissue undergoes complex morphogenesis to form auditory and vestibular compartments which have distinct morphologic characteristics along each of the developmental axes. Otic development involves signaling interactions within and between otic and non-otic tissues. However, the molecular basis of otic morphogenesis and axis formation remains relatively unexplored.  This study uses the mouse model to assess the role of the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) signaling system in otic development. The work described herein analyses expression patterns of the members of Fg/'gene family and examines specific roles of Fgf3 and Fgfl6 in inner ear morphogenesis.  We show that Fgf'16 is one of the earliest regionally restricted transcripts expressed in otic tissue and is polarized along the antero-posterior otic axis. Simultaneous knock out of Fgfl6 function and expression of Cre recombinase in its place allowed us to determine the consequences of inactivating Fgfl6 and to examine the fate of mouse posterior otic cells. We show that Fgfl6 does not have a unique role in inner ear development and describe the fates of Fgf'16 expressing otic cells in anterior and posterior semicircular canals, the three ampullary cristae, and the cochlear stria vascularis.  In addition, this thesis shows that Fgf3 is required for dorsal pattering and morphogenesis of the inner ear epithelium. The range of malformations observed in Fgf3 mutants has close parallels with those seen in hearing impaired patients. Through a series of conditional mutagenesis experiments, we also suggest that there is an early placode stage requirement for hindbrain-expressed Fgf3 to induce proper development of the endolymphatic duct.  Taken together, this study provides new information on the normal development of the inner ear and the factors that regulate the process of otic morphogenesis, providing insights into genetic mechanisms responsible for the myriad of human inner ear malformations.

Design of a precision grinder with closed loop optical feedback for the manufacture of micro electro discharge machining electrodes

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Grinding machines
Microelectrodes

description: This research focuses on the design of a precision grinder for the manufacture of  electrodes used in micro-electro discharge machining (EDM). Electrodes used in micro-  EDM can range in size from 10 - 500 microns in diameter and are typically produced  through conventional precision grinding. Variability in grinding parameters such as  vibration, spindle run out, electrode positioning, and electrode deflection at high lengthto-  diameter aspect ratios result in increased grinding time and difficult to achieve  repeatability. To mitigate this variability and to provide for a faster automated solution,  the precision grinder developed incorporates a high resolution optical measurement  system, precision air bearing spindle, and air bearing x-y positioning stage.  The integrated high resolution optical measurement system allows for automated  compensation for electrode positioning errors and other associated grinding variations.  Sub micron resolution is achieved in the optics design allowing for in process resolution  of the electrode diameter to within +/- 1 micron.  Electrode positioning is achieved through use of an air bearing x-y stage with  closed loop feedback position from a linear optical encoder with 100 nanometer (nm)  resolution. A diamond grinding wheel is mounted on a precision air bearing spindle for  minimal run out, vibration dampening, and stiffness.  This grinder is demonstrated through the production of a series of electrodes with  emphasis on the repeatability and tolerances achieved.

Frequency of false electrocardiogram alarms in the intensive care unit/coronary care unit

Subjects: Electrocardiography
Coronary care units

description: The purpose of this study was to determine how often a false electrocardiogram (ECG) alarm occurred in an intensive care unit (ICU) or coronary care unit (CCU).  Nine patients were monitored for 12-1/2 hours. The false alarms that occurred were documented and the cause was noted.  Five patients were male with a mean age of 64 years, and four were female with a mean age of 57.  Two patients were studied in the Respiratory (RICU), two in the Thoracic (TICU), and five in the CCU.  The investigator studied whether a monitor could be developed that would be able to decrease the false alarm frequency by using a multiple ECG signal system, or a multiple physiologic signal system with the addition of an arterial pressure waveform.  Fourteen false alarms occurred during the monitoring period with one true alarm.  The frequency of false alarms was 4.2 in the RICU, 12.6 in the TICU, and 10.5 in the CCU; showing a much higher rate of false alarms per patient in the RICU.  The frequency of false alarms could have been reduced by 60% with the addition of a multiple ECG signal system.  Use of a multiple physiologic signal system however, would eliminate all of the false alarms and, therefore, would be a better system.  No monitor that utilizes such a system has been developed, but it would be a great benefit to reduce the stress and noise level in the ICU/CCU.

Effect of vibroacoustic stimulation on fetal heart rate during nonstress tests
Creators: name: Sleutel, Martha Rider
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Fetal heart rate monitoring

description: Vibroacoustic stimulation of the fetus with an artificial larynx has been shown to cause an immediate fetal startle response, and increase in fetal activity and an increase in fetal heart rate (FHR) accelerations that persist for 10 to 60 minutes or longer.  This randomized prospective study compared the two most common techniques of vibroacoustic stimulation tests (VST):  one 5-second stimulus and four intermittent 3-second stimuli, with a control group of traditional nonstress tests (NST).  The FHR tracings in the two experimental groups had more accelerations, and were of greater amplitude and duration, than in the control group.  The length of tine required to obtain a reactive NST was almost 15 minutes shorter for VSTs than for NSTs.  VSTs elicited a heightened reactivity that persisted beyond the observation period in 66% of the experimental group subjects.  Of this 66%, another two-thirds of the subjects displayed prolonged, marked accelerations.  If the baseline FHR is not determined prior to stimulus, these periods of prolonged accelerations may necessitate additional observation time.

Proposal to establish the position of clinical pharmacy coordinator

Subjects: Pharmacy Service
Hospital
Pharmacy Administration

description: This document outlines a request by the Department of Pharmacy Services to establish a professional position - that of a Clinical Coordinator.  The report begins by describing the development of pharmacy practice at University Hospital.  Traditional ward stock and prescription dispensing gave way to unit dose drug distribution and centralized intravenous admixture preparation.  Later, pharmacist and support personnel were decentralized to more efficiently provide services to patients and other staff of the hospital.  With decentralization, pharmacists became more involved in providing non-distributive or clinical services to patients, nurses, and physicians relating to patients, nurses, and physicians relating to patient medication usage and needs.  These services are beneficial in that quality of patient care is improved, the teaching environment of the hospital is enhanced, and cost savings from decreased use of inappropriate or higher cost drugs may be realized.  Because of personnel limitations these clinical pharmacy services now are not provided consistently to all patients. The clinical services now provided could be expanded to result in further benefits to patients and staff.  Consistency of services, implementation of new services and assuring the necessary pharmacy staff development will require the full-time commitment of a dedicated specialist.  The position of Clinical Coordinator will meet this need.  A qualified coordinator will be able to maintain a clinical practice, plan and implement new programs, provide training and development programs for staff pharmacists, and assure consistency of clinical pharmacy services.  The cost for this position will be approximately $45,000 per year including a 28% allowance for benefits.  For the 1985-86 fiscal year the cost is projected at $32,000 based on eight months of salary and benefits, and a budget for advertising and recruiting.  The potential cost savings resulting from comprehensive clinical services have been document in the pharmacy literature.  These cost savings result from specific pharmacy activities including consistent interactions with physicians regarding drug usages, restricting antibiotic over-usage, pharmacokinetic consultations, and pharmacist-controlled treatment programs.  Nonquantifiable benefits include increased quality of patient care, an improved teaching environment, improved utilization of professional.
Efficiency of the Trent process in cleaning coal

Subjects: Coal washing

description: During the war certain suggestions concerning  power production were made by Mr. Walter E. Trent to the War Inventions Board, and at the request of the War Department, facilities for experimental work were provided on the grounds of the Bureau of Standards.  The Experiments were along the line of controlling  the conditions of combustion in a closed space.  In order to reduce slag troubles, experiments were carried out for removing ash from powdered coal. After the war, work along this line was continued, resulting in the Trent Process, which agitates or beats together powdered coal, water and oil.  A new technology has previously been given to ore preparation by the use of small quantities of oil in water with froth flotation, and although the methods, results and mixtures of the Trent Process were quite different,  yet the same physical phenomena of differential wetting was used, and the possibility of there being interesting results in fuel technology was evident. A cooperative agreement was entered into, whereby the Bureau  of kines was to investigate the underlying physical and  chemical facts and make them public, and the Trent Process Corporation, was to pay the cost of the investigation.

description: Using biomimicry approach, where cultivation and productivity are more dependent on intrinsic dynamics than on human/chemical inputs driven by fossil fuels.

To specifically target intrinsic, synergetic dynamics for agricultural systems and overcome difficulties linked to poor knowledge and hazardous trial-and-error processes for  intercropping, this is a proposal for an informatics tool to design adapted, efficient plant partnerships or clusters.

The tool consists of a prediction model that suggests potential win-win plant or other symbiotic relationships, flexible enough to exploit information about local soil/climatic conditions.

description: The study aimed to evaluate trace elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn) concentrations and fatty acids of three Black Sea bivalve species - Donax trunculus, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Chamelea gallina as well as human health risk and benefit-risk ratio based on n-3 LC-PUFA vs. toxic/essential elements. The results showed variations in the element concentrations among the analysed species. D. trunculus generally contained higher levels of the essential elements Cu and Zn, while C. gallina – higher Cr and Fe. Toxic elements content did not exceed the international standards for mollusks. D. trunculus and C. gallina were better dietary sources of n-3 LC-PUFA, with approximately two-fold higher EPA + DHA content than M. galloprovincialis. Health risks for most toxic and essential elements exposed from bivalve consumption were safe based on THQ, HI and TR indices. The benefit-risk ratio indicated that studied species are safe for human consumption, except one case.

Attachment behavior

description: The problem of the study was to identify attachment behaviors of high-risk pregnant women. The subjects participating in the study were 40 high-risk women in their third trimester of pregnancy. The data were contrasted to previously collected data from 41 low-risk pregnant women who were demographically similar. This was a descriptive study. Independent t-tests were computed to identify differences between the two groups.  There were no significant differences between the groups' total scores on the Maternal-Fetal Attachment scale or on the subscales, Roletaking and Giving of Self. The high-risk group scored significantly higher on two subscales, Interaction with Fetus (£=.047) and Attributing Characteristics (£=.030). The low risk group scored significantly higher on the subscale, Differentiation (£=.034).  The findings of this study suggest the high-risk group attached as well to their fetus as the low-risk group. As this is contrary to the literature findings, further research in the area is warranted.

description: This research introduces an entirely new framework for vision processing that learns task-based visual features and enhances them in images to guide human action in vision-based tasks. We demonstrate a novel vision processing pipeline for prosthetic vision that learns navigation-based features in simulation via deep reinforcement learning and successfully enhances them in real world images. We further establish the efficacy of pre-trained, deep super resolution techniques in enhancing the resolution of satellite images despite a lack of domain-specific training, for earth observation and monitoring outcomes. In this thesis, we establish a new task-based vision processing paradigm for bandwidth-limited applications.

description: The Ocotea genus exhibits a variety of pharmacological, antibacterial and antioxidant effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential and antibacterial properties of the ethyl acetate fraction of Ocotea nutans leaves. Isolation and identification of the phenolic compounds from the fraction was also carried out. The isolated compounds were characterised by one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance analysis and identified as vitexin (1) and isovitexin (2). The ethyl acetate fraction of Ocotea nutans leaves demonstrated considerable antioxidant potential. The observed minimum inhibitory concentration of 250 µg.mL−1 was classified as a moderate antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis. Findings from this study demonstrate the utility of this plant as a potential source of antioxidant and antibacterial agents.
Music Remixing Using Source Separation To Improve Cochlear Implant Users Music Perception
Creators: name: Pons, Jordi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Music appreciation remains rather poor for many Cochlear Implant (CI) users due to their poor pitch perception. Simple music structures with a clear rhythm/beat are well perceived for CI users. A previous publication which studies the mixing preferences of CI users on vocal western music, shows a significant preference for higher vocals and attenuated background instruments. By re-mixing the music they are able to simplify the signal to make it more suitable for implantees. But the multitrack recordings necessary to generate a re-mix are not always accessible; only mono/stereo pre-mixed audio les are available. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose to use current Source Separation (SS) state-of-the-art techniques to estimate the multitrack recordings. The perceptual studies conducted are focused on studying how the errors/artifacts produced by a SS algorithm, Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), affect the music mixing preferences. These show that when attenuating the background instruments by 6dB, the artifacts/errors present in the vocals are not perceived by CI users. Then, SS can be used to estimate the multitrack. To our knowledge, no previous work exist on trying to simplify classical music for CI users by means of re-mixing. This work shows the influence of the music genre on CI users mixing preferences. We show that CI users with classical musical training have a significant preference for mixing pre-sets that enforce musicological details dicult to encode with CIs (others than beat). However, CI users without classical music training do not show any significant preference, probably due to the lack of music understanding. This work also shows how CI users may not benefit from general mixing pre-sets solutions. Technologies like SS, that allow individual configurations, seem to be the right approach towards a better music appreciation. ii Additionally, we studied a new approach for source signal separation based on deep recurrent neural networks (DRNN). Recently, some researchers successfully used DRNN for singing voice separation from monaural recordings in a supervised setting. A great advantage of this technique, compared to NMF, is that allows similar performance reducing the processing time; which is crucial for CI applications. In this work, we investigated how different theoretically motivated initialization schemes behave when training DRNN for SS. Concluding that if the initialization allows the output activations to be inside the data range, the model is able to find a good local minimum. It is also introduced a theoretically motivated interpretation of why music models (considering neighbouring frames as input vector) do not suer the gradient vanish/explode problem.

description: High concentration of nitrate in surface and ground water is a universal water pollution challenge for several. Four biochar samples were produced and subjected to batch sorption experiment. Data obtained were fitted into the linear forms of four adsorption isotherm and kinetics models. Least square regression analysis was used to test the best fitting isotherm and kinetic model using the coefficient of determination (R2). Results revealed that only maize cob biochar (MCB) and poultry litter biochar (PLB) had the ability to adsorb nitrate with maximum quantities of adsorbed nitrate (73.915 and 133.887 mgg-1). Similarly, adsorption kinetics indicated better fitting of the adsorption data onto the linear form of the pseudo second order kinetics (PSOK) model. Lower R2 values recorded by the intra particle diffusion and Elovich adsorption kinetic models suggest that the adsorption process was physical and intra- particle diffusion was not the rate controlling step. Similarly, 99% change in nitrate adsorption was accounted by the combined influence of biochar electrical conductivity (EC), zero point of charge (ZPC) and pH. Hence, modification of biochar EC, ZPC and pH are necessary for using biochar to successfully remove nitrate from polluted environments.

description: Farming occupants are the major victims of Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) in North Central region, Sri Lanka. Tanks are the main source of water for farming and they act as sinks for agricultural run-offs. Environmental toxicants are adsorbed by bottom sediments and can be released into the adjacent water column due to environmental changes as those are not permanently bound. Therefore, this study attempts to determine the contamination situation of the selected toxic metals in sediments of the tanks in a CKDu prevalence distrct (Anuradhapura) in Sri Lanka and prediction of the risk. Sixteen tanks were selected and sediment samples were randomly collected from each tank from bank to center. Digested sediment samples were analyzed for heavy metals using Inductive Couple Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Calcium and Magnesium contents were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. According to the statistics, average values of some toxic metals such as As Pb, and Cr in sediments were higher than severe effect levels (SEL) while most of the mean values of Cd, As, Pb, Cr, Zn, and Cu were beyond the Lowest effect levels (LEL). Apart from that, Geo Accumulation Indexes (Igeo) Indicate that almost all tanks in Anuradhapura district have moderately polluted with above mentioned pollutants. Hence, findings reveal about a risk generated on aquatic lives in the tanks as well as humans via food chain contamination with hazardous metals.

description: Clinacanthus nutans has been reported to have many medicinal properties and it is traditionally used in treating viral lesions. This study aims to determine the molecular docking of C. nutans compounds detected by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) with the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 main protease) protein and its host receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein using the AutoDock 4.2 tool. The drug-likeness and molecular docking analyses showed that fourteen compounds of C. nutans satisfied the Lipinski’s rule of five and they exhibited good inhibitory effects against the SARS-Cov-2 main protease and ACE2 proteins. In addition, the glyceryl 2-linolenate compound was found to have the most potent binding affinities with both proteins. The results provide useful insights into the molecular inhibitory interactions of C. nutans compounds detected by GC-MS analysis with the targeted SARS-CoV-2 main protease and ACE2 protein.

description: The phytochemical study of the CH2Cl2- MeOH (1:1, v/v) extract of the stem bark of Carapa procera DC (Meliaceae) led to the isolation and characterisation of a new natural limonoid 7β-obacunol (6), along with seven known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic means, including 1 D and 2 D NMR, HRESI-MS and by comparison with published data. The cytotoxicity of compounds 1-6 was assessed in vitro by the WST-1 assay on human lung adenocarcinoma A549 and Raw 264.7 mouse macrophage cell lines. Results suggested that obacunone (3) exhibited the most potent cytotoxic effect against A549 and Raw 264.7 cells with respective IC50 values of 25.24 µM and 29.14 µM, while the new natural limonoid 7β-obacunol (6) exhibited 32.75 µM and 39.19 µM, respectively on both cell lines. Therefore, limonoid derivatives might be promising sources of natural bioactive metabolites against cancer.

Note. Evans and Smith (2009: 239) mention Isonychus fasciolatus for Guyana, but not for the type locality French Guiana. We consider their “ Guyana ” as a misinterpretation of the location “ Guyane: La Mana” as mentioned in the original description by Blanchard (1850: 87). (The) Mana is both a river and a municipality in French Guiana, while there is no location with that name in Guyana. We are not aware of any records outside of French Guiana and Brazil.
