description: Individuals consume diet soda and thoroughly believe it is healthy and safe. However, the chemical sweeteners, like aspartame, it contains can lead to complications down the road. Complications range from weight gain to diabetes, and more. Adult diet soda drinkers will be anonymously surveyed in order to determine if there is some sort of correlation between consumption of diet soda and the aforementioned complications. These results will be compared with young adult, ages 18 and up, diet soda consumers.

description: Individuals in the United States and abroad are unable to purchase eyeglasses due to lack of insurance and limited funding. While most insurance companies ignore lack of sight as one of the lesser harmful medical conditions, eye vision is important for people during daily chores and plays an important role in ensuring safety. The primary focus is to ensure that all individuals, with or without insurance, are provided with eye examinations and prescription glasses.  This paper highlights the works of Lions Club and One Sight Global Care, two organizations that strive hard to ensure that people in need of eyeglasses are given adequate care. While these organizations are a huge success, there are many countries that are overlooked due to lack of funding.  Two such countries are The Philippines and Malaysia. This project hopes to convince Lions Club to set up a permanent clinic in these countries. In addition, this project will work towards donating eyeglasses from the Lion’s Club to these countries.

description: Turning food waste into a renewable energy source at Rutgers University
description: Rutgers University produces up to 50 tons of food waste per day by its dining halls A pig farmer by the name of Steve Pinter comes and picks up all the waste every other day and takes it back to his farm and feeds it to his pigs. It is rumored that Rutgers University knows that Steve Pinter is breaking a state food and agriculture law. The only positive thing that comes out of the pig farmer taking the food waste away from Rutgers is that it doesn’t end up in a landfill. However, we believe that a smarter option is available in which Rutgers could take the food waste that the dining halls produce and recycle it with other waste that the University produces to make bioenergy by the means of an anaerobic digester.

description: The disposal of food waste in landfills not only consumes space, but it is harmful because there is production of methane. Methane is one of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, which is a leading factor of climate change. It is critical to reduce global warming because climate change provides challenges in regards human health and ecological disasters. To avoid the exacerbation of this problem, food waste, one of the largest components of municipal solid wastes and biomass waste, can be utilized as various resources or energy by alternative recycling methods. The project at Rutgers University is to change the course of food waste disposed at sources where the issue has been given minimal attention, such as the dorms, student centers, and special events. This involves sustainable practices at Rutgers by making organic waste bins available and providing educational awareness on the importance of properly throwing away trash.

description: The single largest risk for developing cancer is age. The exponential rise in cancer incidence with age has been explained by the accumulation of a critical number of mutations, primarily in the epithelial cells that give rise to the majority of malignant tumors in adults. However, it is unlikely that mutation accumulation completely accounts for cancer. Recently, epigenetic factors, such as the microenvironment, have become appreciated as contributors to cancer.

 Little is known at the molecular level about the role of cellular aging in breast cancer. We propose that aging changes the breast epithelial cell microenvironment and contributes to cancer. Further, the age-dependent environmental changes may act in synergy with genetic mutations. We propose to study ‘replicative senescence’, which is the fixed number of cell divisions that a cell type is capable of in the body. This type of aging limits cell division by imposing an irreversible block to cell cycle progression. Interestingly, ‘replicative senescence’ also causes cells to become resistant to apoptotic (programmed) cell death. Recently, we provided the first evidence that senescent cells exist and accumulate with age. Our preliminary data suggest that senescent human fibroblasts express activities that can ‘relax’ the environmental control on breast epithelial cells. For example, senescent fibroblasts secrete extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes and epithelial cell growth factors. These factors could stimulate the growth and/or other malignant properties of neighboring breast epithelial cells.

 We plan to study the role of senescent fibroblasts in mediating the transformation of breast epithelial cells in culture. Human fibroblasts from breast and non-breast origins will be co-cultured with murine and human breast epithelial cells having different potentials for growth, migration and invasion. We will use both monolayer-type (one cell layer thick) cultures and three-dimensional cultures containing various extracellular components. We will measure epithelial cell growth, differentiation, cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions, cell migration and invasiveness. Further, in other experiments we plan to relate senescence in fibroblasts to breast epithelial cells in which we insert either normal or mutated genes associated with breast cancer. We will explore the feasibility of inhibiting the "pro-carcinogenic" activities of senescent fibroblasts.

 These experiments will provide a molecular framework for understanding the role of cellular aging in breast cancer. Future treatment of breast cancer may focus on counteracting these senescent changes in the microenvironment as an alternative to directly targeting the cancer cells

(A)morality of kinship in Italian cinema (1960-2010)

description: In the wake of Paul Ginsborg’s historical studies that investigate twentieth-century Italian history in the light of the institution of the family, my research will provide a major contribution to reconsider Italian film history in the light of the relationship between filmic depictions of the family since 1960 and those of the state, and civil society. Despite the vast sociological, anthropological, and historical bibliography on relationships and behavioral patterns of the Italian family, no study has been entirely dedicated to the cinematic depiction of these dynamics. I am interested in how the behaviors of family members are represented in order to determine whether they can be traced to a shared sense of civicness or whether they are symptomatic of a different morality: that of the family.   The first part of my research examines the image of the traditional family and its implications for the concept of amoral familism in Luchino Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers (1960), Francesco Rosi’s Christ Stopped at Eboli (19&9), and Marco Tullio Giordana’s The Best Youth (2003). The second part focuses on the breakdown of the traditional family, and on the condition of new social configurations (same-sex families, single parents) in the normative and conventional structures of contemporary politics. Films by Francesca Comencini, Cristina Comencini, Gianni Amelio, Daniele Luchetti, Gabriele Salvatores, Ferzan Özpetek, Kim Rossi-Stuart, and Francesco Bruni play a crucial role in my analysis.  I address the following questions: How has the depiction of the family changed since 1960? How are these representations related to amoral familism? What effects have liquid modernity and New Capitalism had on the representations of contemporary Italian families? How has film language helped to define these changes? The large body of films considered has enabled me to shed light on the tension between tradition and innovation in the filmic construction of the politics, practices, and symbolic values of the Italian family from the Sixties to today.

Sluicing and identity in ellipsis
Creators: name: Barros, Matthew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This thesis is concerned with sluicing, the ellipsis of TP in a Wh-question leaving a Wh- phrase “remnant” overt. Sluicing is subject to an identity condition that must hold between the sluiced question and its antecedent. There is currently no consensus on whether this condition should be characterized as syntactic or semantic in nature, or whether a hybrid condition that makes reference to both semantic and syntactic identity is needed (Merchant 2005, Chung 2013, Barker 2013).  I provide a new identity condition that captures extant syntactic generalizations while allowing for enough wiggle room to let in detectible mismatches between the antecedent and sluice. The identity condition I propose is “split” between two sub-conditions, one that pertains to the relationship between the sluiced Wh-phrase and its correlate in the antecedent (the Remnant Condition), and one that pertains to the sluiced question as a whole (the Sluice Condition). The Split Identity hypothesis counts as a hybrid identity condition. The Remnant Condition is novel, and requires that the remnant have a syntactic correlate in the antecedent with which it matches semantically. Split Identity is shown to capture the data motivating extant syntactic generalizations. The Sluice Condition requires that the sluiced question and the Question under Discussion (QuD) that the antecedent makes salient seek the same answers, and is an implementation of QuD-based approaches to the semantic condition on sluicing, such as recently proposed in AnderBois 2011.  The Split identity condition also lets in “pseudosluices” alongside isomorphic sluices, where the sluiced question is a cleft or a copular question while the antecedent is not. Pseudosluicing has often been proposed as a last resort mechanism, only available when an isomorphic structure is independently ruled out (Rodrigues et al. 2009, Vicente 2008, van Craenenbroeck 2010). I defend a view where pseudosluicing is not a special case of sluicing, so that the identity condition should not distinguish between copular and non- copular clauses in the determination of identity. Split Identity achieves this in making no reference to the syntactic content of the ellipsis site.

A strategy for evaluating the quality of trace alignment tools based on a Markov model
Creators: name: Bo, Xiao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Trace alignment of event logs is used to understand and improve business processes.  A key missing component of current approaches for performing trace alignment is a  methodology to measure the quality of alignment. We propose a novel approach for  generating random event logs that can be used for testing and evaluating trace  alignment tools. We first extracted a statistical model from 43& real-world traces from  Children’s National Medical Center in Washington DC (CNMC). We then created a  guide tree and prune it to a minimum spanning tree based on user defined trace  number in output event log. The final step is to fill this tree. Each node in this tree  contains a trace. Each leaf node represents a trace in output event log. The root node  is filled by a user-defined sequence and each child node is mutate from parent node  based on the statistical model. To validate our approach, we used a concept of replay  fitness score. Replay fitness score is used to quantify the extent to which a model can  reproduce the traces recorded in an event log. It’s between 0 and 1. The value 1 means  that the model can perfectly replay the event log and 0 means that the model cannot  reply the log. Comparing with process model (Petri-Net) extracted from 43&  real-world traces, the output event log of our system can constantly get a score of 0.8.  II  Therefore, our results are relevant not for only validation of trace alignment tools but  also for other process mining tools.

description: Cell-surface receptors are proteins that bind factors such as hormones or growth factors, and transmit the external signal inside the cell, ultimately resulting in processes such as cell growth and differentiation. These receptors reside on the cell membrane and typically consist of three parts: a sensing segment that sticks outside the cell; a middle segment that runs through the cell membrane; and a segment that sticks inside the cell and transmits the signal inside the cell. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is such a cell surface receptor. It is present in a variety of different cell types, and is implicated in breast cancer. When EGFR is turned on (activated), it can enhance the mobility of cancer cells and increase their capacity to metastasize. Therefore, knowledge of a molecular mechanism for the receptor activation is a crucial step in the understanding of human breast cancer.

 It believed that one way a receptor can be activated is by a hormone binding to two molecules of the receptor and bringing them together. However, an accumulating number of observations suggest that linking of two receptor molecules is not sufficient for the receptor activation. For example, the artificial linking of two receptor molecules by antibodies does not always activate the receptors. To clarify the controversial observations, we analyzed the structure of the membrane-spanning region of the aspartate receptor, a cell surface receptor for the amino acid aspartate. Based on the results, we have proposed a model for the activation mechanism in which the membrane-spanning segment rotates or twists in the plane of the cell membrane to transmit the factor-binding signal into the inside of the cell. We propose to determine whether this model also explains how other receptors, including EGFR, are activated. We will artificially mutate the membrane-spanning region of EGFR to find the structure of the segment critical for the signaling. We will also analyze the movement of the membrane-spanning segment during the signaling. Mutant receptors that can be activated without bound factors may also be isolated in this project.

 Knowledge of a molecular mechanism for activation of EGFR should be a crucial step, not only in an understanding of the pathogenesis of human breast cancer, but also towards development of anti-cancer drugs. Using computer modeling, small chemicals or peptides that inhibit activation of EGFR can be designed based on knowledge of the molecular mechanism.
The survival of enterococcus faecalis and bacteroides fragilis on four different food contact surfaces

Year: 2014

description: Changes to the gut microflora resulting from a number of environmental influences are well documented. (123) Enteric pathogens have been shown to promote a shift away from the predominance of Gram negative toward Gram-positive species however, evidence of Noroviruses initiating such changes has only recently been documented. (90, 135) Noroviruses (NoV) are the most common cause of gastroenteritis in the world accounting for about 50% of all outbreaks of foodborne illness and more than 90% of outbreaks with a non-bacterial origin worldwide (9&, 108). Generally self-limiting, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common symptoms of the illness (80). Nearby surfaces may become contaminated with aerosolized fecal matter or vomitus from being ill. These contaminated surfaces may be involved in the propagation of an outbreak as well as provide a surface that investigators may swab to obtain a sample for PCR amplification, which is the preferred method of NoV detection by the CDC (15). However, concerns about false outcomes resulting from contamination or amplification of inactivated genomic material leave room for supporting diagnostic methods to be investigated.  Bacterial indicators have been used in the past to indicate the presence of fecal contamination and various indicators have been investigated to predict the presence of specific pathogens. Utilizing surface contamination and the change to the gut microbiome upon NoV infection could provide a new diagnostic technique for NoV diagnosis. The first step to creating this new diagnostic would be investigating the survival of the relevant bacterial species on surfaces of interest. It was the purpose of this thesis to study the survival of E. faecalis and B. fragilis on stainless steel, ceramic, glass, and polystyrene. E. faecalis survived above the detection limit for 16 weeks on all surfaces except ceramic on which, it was able to survive only 8 weeks above the detection limit. B. fragilis was able to survive 48 hours on all surfaces tested.

Geographic distribution. USA (Florida), Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, West Indies, Mexico, Colombia (Atlantic side), and Brazilian states of Amapá (present record), Alagoas, and Bahia (Abrolhos) (Martínez-Iglesias and Gómez, 1994; Melo, 1996; Silva and Calado, 2002; Coelho et al., 2008) (Fig. 5).
Remarks. The characteristics of the P. quadridentata specimens examined were consistent with the original description provided by Latreille(1828) and additional remarks prepared by Rathbun (1906), Guinot (1969a), and Hernández Aguilera (1982). Pseudorhombila quadridentata is widely distributed in the western Atlantic, which is similar to other closely related species (see remarks of P. octodentata), however, with disjunct records especially in the Caribbean Sea (recorded only from Colombia) and in Brazil (only two previous records, in the states of Alagoas and Bahia), but it is a common species in the Gulf of Mexico (see Fig.5). In Brazil, these records were made by Melo (1996) and Silva and Calado (2002), between the depths of 20 and 64 m, on bottoms of gravel and mud along the continental shelf. However, in the present work, the specimens were found at a depth of 114 m, increasing the bathymetric distribution to deeper waters. Coelho et al. (2008) compiled several records of brachyuran and anomuran crabs from Brazilian waters, however, these records were only based on published literature (without examined material). Thus, the present work is the first record of P. quadridentata from the North region of Brazil (state of Amapá) and only the second record after 18 years for this species.

description: Glutamine and glutamate are the most abundant amino acids found in milk and are thought to be important for rapid growth of neonatal tissues.  Although glutamine and glutamate metabolism in sows during pregnancy and lactation have been explored, the impact of glutamine and glutamate supplementation on lipids in milk and neonatal tissues are less well understood. The research goals of this project were to better understand the impact of glutamine and glutamate supplementation during gestation and lactation in pigs, and how it affects the lipid composition of colostrum, milk, and neonatal adipose tissue. This master’s thesis is comprised of two chapters, which will examine the influences that supplemental glutamine and glutamate have on the sow and the neonate. The significance of this work as it relates to porcine neonatal adipose tissue composition will be explained along with the results of our findings.

Causation in a physical world
Creators: name: Blanchard, Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation offers a new solution to the problem of causation in the physical  world. Fundamental physics leaves little space for causation. Causation is local and  asymmetric, but physical laws are global and time-symmetric. However, causal notions  are indispensable. In particular we need causation to make sense of effective strategies.  The problem of causation in the physical world is the challenge of reconciling  the a-causal physical picture of the world with the need for causation. Chapter 1 describes  the problem in detail and proposes a new methodology to solve it. The proper  method to handle the problem isn’t conceptual analysis. Rather, solutions to the problem  should be judged on how well they physically explain actual facts about effective  strategies. Chapter 2 examines the main attempts to solve the problem. I argue that  they all face various problems. In particular, current attempts to locate causation in  the physical world all have trouble making sense of the fact that we need causal knowledge  to make rational decisions. To solve this problem, the first step is to provide a  satisfactory explanation of why only those correlations that are (intuitively) causal can  be exploited for the purpose of securing desired outcomes. In chapter 3, I propose such  an explanation. I argue that causal correlations are the only ones that can be exploited  according to evidential decision theory (EDT). This is a surprising claim, since EDT is widely thought to recommend acting for the sake of outcomes one cannot cause. I arguethat this is actually not the case, and that EDT in fact provides a plausible account of  exploitable correlations. In chapter 4, I use this account to offer a new solution to the  problem of causation in a physical world. I argue that causal dependence is a matter  of the cause and the effect standing in certain probabilistic relations to a third event  called a probabilistic intervention. Probabilistic interventions are events that need not  involve agency but nonetheless mimic certain crucial features of deliberation. I argue  that this account provides a plausible solution to the problem of causation in a physical  world.

description: Breast cancer occurs as a result of a transition of normal breast epithelial cell behavior to that of uncontrolled cell growth. A major factor in this transition is the gradual loss of the normal cellular balance between cell division and cell death. An important function of the genes in a normal breast cell is to control the appropriate time for the cell to die. Such cell death balances the growth which occurs due to normal cell division. In all non-menopausal women there is a sequential burst of cell division followed by a tightly controlled round of cell death with each menstrual cycle. We have found that the extracellular matrix (ECM, an interwoven network of proteins which is in contact with these breast epithelial cells and gives them strength and support) gives signals which provide information to these cells. Thus the ability of breast cells to respond correctly to these messages is critical for maintaining the normal cell balance. In breast cancer the genes of the breast epithelial cell are altered such that these cells are now unable to respond appropriately to breast tissue ECM-derived signals. There is reason to believe that the active compound of vitamin D may act on breast cells to regulate the genes required for this responsiveness. We hypothesize that vitamin D may re-establish the normal cell growth and death cycle and that these effects may be mediated through critical cell-ECM signals. Regardless of the mode of action, however, vitamin D may be effective in assisting with the prevention of both primary breast cancer and its recurrence following therapy.

 We have access to a unique human breast cell line which mimics breast cancer progression as it happens in the body. In addition we have the expertise with a novel ECM assay which allows the reconstruction of the normal breast cell environment in culture. Using this system I will examine the ability of breast epithelial cells to respond appropriately to signals from the ECM as they undergo transition from normal to cancerous behavior. Emphasis will be placed on their ability to undergo appropriate cell death. After establishing when the critical changes occur in this transition, I will study the ability of vitamin D to rescue this aberrant behavior. Finally I will begin studies to determine what crucial factors are important for this altered responsiveness by isolating vitamin D-responsive genes. The validity of these results will be determined by using clinical samples of normal and cancerous human breast tissue. These results will have important consequences for understanding the development of both primary and recurrent breast tumors. They should also provide information for the development of better diagnostic techniques.

description: The purpose of this project is to study ‘Cripto’, a protein produced at elevated levels in a majority of human breast cancer cells but not in normal breast cells. Cripto is a growth factor for breast cells and can cause morphological changes. Thus, it is a good candidate for a breast cancer marker and could be used in the earlier detection of the threat of cancer. However, very little is known about its role in mammary gland development and during the various stages of breast carcinogenesis. Before any marker for mammary carcinogenesis can be used in early detection strategies, prior knowledge of its mode of activation is essential. Also important is determining how it can be detected. The long-term objectives of this project are to determine the role Cripto plays in mammary gland carcinogenesis and to ascertain its use as a diagnostic marker for breast cancer. Knowledge gained from this study of Cripto will also open an avenue for prevention strategies.

 Questions, hypotheses, and methods: 1) Is the over- production of Cripto an initiation event or are the elevated levels observed later in tumorigenesis? The time course during various stages of tumor formation and progression will be studied in mice that produce mammary tumors caused by the over-production of oncogenes. Cripto activation possibly precedes the onset of cancer and therefore can be used as a marker of tumor-precursor cells. 2) Can chemical agents modulate Cripto production and thus the transforming ability of Cripto over- production? Cripto production is decreased by retinoic acid in certain cells. The effect of clinical treatment agents such as retinoids, tamoxifen, and selenium will be assayed. 3) Does over-production of Cripto in mammary cells lead to abnormal mammary growth and does it act with other known oncogenes? Cripto will be over- and under- produced in a mammary cell culture to test the effect of aberrant Cripto production on cultured mammary cells' potential to become tumorigenic or grow abnormally. Cells over-producing Cripto will be transferred into normal mouse mammary fat pads and the cells allowed to develop into gland. The effect of Cripto on mammary development and the effect that components of the normal mammary gland have on Cripto over-producing cells will be tested. The question of whether Cripto acts synergistically with other known oncogenes will also be studied.

description: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is important to HIV positive individuals who are at risk of developing AIDS because it is an agent of opportunistic infection and is ubiquitously present including in California and in the United States. Indeed, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is one of the most frequent opportunistic infections of patients with advanced HIV infection. Patients commonly develop HCMV-associated diseases, which may include retinitis, pneumonia, general gastrointestinal diseases, central nervous system complications, and oral lesions and ulcers. Antiretroviral therapies such as HAART and antiviral agents against CMV such as focarnet, ganciclovir, and vitrovene are effective in reducing the incidence of CMV infection but prolonged usage of these drugs has caused the emergence of drug resistant strains of CMV. Due to this, further investigation into basic CMV biology is crucial to develop new drugs to fight against HCMV. Cytomegalovirus was known as salivary gland virus before it was renamed. The virus replicates to high titers in the salivary gland long after it has been cleared from systemic organs. Due to this phenomenon, the saliva is considered the major source for horizontal spread of the virus. However, the mechanism of infection and replication of the virus in the salivary gland is not well studied. Few viral genes have been identified to play a role in infection in salivary gland and their functions in supporting viral infection in the organ have not been understood. Using murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) as a model system, I propose to study the function of MCMV open reading frame M43 in viral infection of salivary gland. Our laboratory has recently shown that MCMV mutants inactivating M43 failed to replicate in the salivary glands of the infected animals. In this dissertation research, I will initially carry out molecular biology experiments to characterize the M43 expression and to determine whether the M43 protein interacts with other proteins in salivary gland cells. Then, I will study how the mutants are defective in replicating in salivary gland cells. The aim of these experiments is to elucidate the mechanism of how M43 functions to support MCMV infection in salivary gland. These results will provide further insight into CMV biology and pathogenesis which will allow researcher to develop new strategies against HCMV infection.

description: Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is present in medical devices, packaging and food containers, from where it leaches into the external environment and causes reproductive toxicity among others in humans and animals. DEHP is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) and in utero and lactational exposure of DEHP causes testicular dysgenesis syndrome in males. Studies in females, suggest that the ovary is the target of DEHP toxicity, however, its mechanism of action remains unknown. Therefore in our study, we exposed timed-pregnant Fischer CDF rats (F0) to DEHP (500 mg/kg/day) from embryonic day (E) 11 to 21 and their F1 pups from postnatal day (PND) 0 to PND &, a developmental window that includes female gonadal differentiation, critical events in ovarian folliculogenesis and epigenetic reprogramming in females, to specifically study the effect of developmental exposure of DEHP on ovarian function in the F1 offspring. The present study also investigated a transgenerational effect, if any on the female reproductive function, specifically through either the maternal germline (maternal cross; MC) or both maternal and paternal germlines (double cross; DC). Various reproductive parameters such as puberty, estrous cyclicity, pregnancy rate, and litter size were examined. The results showed a significant delay in the onset of puberty, as monitored by vaginal opening, only in the DEHP-exposed F1 females but not in the F3 females. No effect on the regularity of the estrus cycle was seen despite reduced serum estradiol levels in the F1 offspring. Follicular composition was analyzed in adult ovaries and expressed as a percentage of total follicles. Significantly large number of growing follicles which seem to progress towards atresia were observed in the DEHP exposed F1 animals at young adulthood (PND 50-85). Therefore the data is suggestive of ‘premature ovarian failure’. Our study showed that altered follicular dynamics were accompanied by increased Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS) and androgen receptor (AR) expression in growing follicles in F1 generation. Decreased estradiol levels, up-regulated AR and MIS expression inhibits progression of the early antral follicles, resulting in increased follicular atresia that reduced the number of total follicles per section in the F1 generation. Decrease in primordial follicles and an increase in early antral follicles accompanied by attenuated MIS production by both primary and antral follicles, reemphasized the possibility of disrupted follicular development in the DC group. Similarly, in MC group, there was an increase in CL without affecting the litter size which may be indicative of premature luteinization. These alterations in follicular dynamics are similar to those in the F1 generation, suggesting developmental DEHP exposure can have a delayed and transgenerational effect on female ovaries.
