Symptoms as a moderator of the relationship  between beliefs and behaviors amongpatients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery
Creators: name: Hekler, Eric B.

Year: 2008

description: There is growing evidence suggesting health behaviors (e.g., physical activity, medications) significantly improve health outcomes and quality of life following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Despite the clear benefits of these behaviors, adherence is poor and interventions designed to promote them have yielded mixed results. This dissertation, guided by Leventhal's Commonsense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) and Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), was a descriptive study designed to identify beliefs that might predict adherence and serve as intervention targets.Participants were 89 CABG (M age = 65.4, 73% male, 79.8% white) surgery patients who spoke English and were free of any neurological, cognitive, or medical condition that might influence their ability to complete the study. They were interviewed prior to surgery about their CSM and SCT beliefs and their health behaviors (i.e., physical activity, medication adherence) using structured interviews. All measures exhibited factor structures that fit with a priori expectations and had acceptable reliability (αs between .67 and .91). Demographic information was gathered during the structured interviews. Medical information was gathered from medical records and aggregated to create a single cardiac risk factor index. Results suggested that personal control and emotional cause beliefs were positively associated with physical activity, whereas medical cause beliefs were inversely associated with physical activity. In addition, the relationship between symptoms and physical activity appeared to be statistically mediated by emotional cause beliefs. With regard to SCT beliefs, negative medication outcome expectancies (NMOE) was inversely associated with medication adherence, and the relationship between medication adherence self-efficacy and medication adherence was statistically mediated by NMOE. Examination of the possible moderating influence of symptoms on beliefs suggested that both self-efficacy and bed rest outcome expectancies were associated with physical activity if an individual was symptomatic but they were not associated with physical activity if an individual was asymptomatic. Overall, results suggest that integrating the CSM with SCT provides a useful conceptual framework for understanding medication adherence and physical activity. Future research is required to evaluate the prospective, predictive utility of this framework. In addition, interventions that are tailored to patients' symptom status seem worth pursuing.

description: We examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships amongst affect, stress exposure, and antibody (Ab) response to influenza inoculation in a healthy, elderly sample. We explored both efferent (CNS on immune activity) and afferent (immune activity on CNS function) pathways. Negative (NA) and positive (PA) affective states were examined in relation to Ab response, positing that high baseline NA (State, SNA, but not Trait, TNA) would predict reduced Ab response and that PA would predict enhanced response, and that the reduced Ab response in individuals displaying high baseline SNA would associate with decreases in NA. Moderator (for psychogenic and systemic stress) and mediator (systemic symptom reporting) tests were conducted to validate these relationships. The 152 (97 female, 55 male; age M=72.49, SD=6.32) participants were residents of a retirement community, who met medical exclusionary criteria and completed all three annual assessments (in 1992, 1993, and 1996). Participants were inoculated with trivalent influenza vaccine, and Ab titer was assayed two weeks post-inoculation via hemagglutinin inhibition assay. As hypothesized, TNA did not predict Ab response. Surprisingly, high baseline SNA predicted enhanced Ab response, which predicted decreased NA in a year- and strain-specific manner. Longitudinally, robust initial Ab response followed by steady decreases was associated with combinations of no change in one dimension of NA and decreases in the other. High PA only showed transient associations with increased Ab response. Stress did not act as a moderator, though systemic symptom reporting did mediate the relationship between Ab response and change in NA in 1996.Overall findings suggest a reconceptualization of initial NA. High levels of initial SNA did not predict impaired immunity, but instead robust response. Hence, instead of an aberrant affective state, high initial SNA likely indicates enhanced arousal, which returns to lower levels after threat ceases. This study also illustrates the complexities involved in investigating the relationship between health and immunity, and importantly sheds light on how varying temporal and antigenic variables may elicit differences. This study adds considerably to the body of work exploring the dynamic interplay between emotion, experience, aging, and physiological response to benign immune challenge.

Protective effects of dietary and pharmaceutical agents against gastroesophageal reflux induced  esophageal cancer
Creators: name: Hao, Jing
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: There are two primary goals of this study. One is to establish a mouse esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) model and the other is to develop chemopreventive strategies to prevent EAC. We performed esophagogastroduodenal anastomosis (EGDA) on wild-type, p53A135V transgenic, and INK4a/Arf+/- mice of A/J strain. Wild-type mice with EGDA were also treated with iron (50 mg/kg/m, i.p.) or gastrectomy plus iron to enhance carcinogenesis. At week 20 and week 40, we observed metaplasia in wild-type mice (1/20 at week 20; 6/37 at week 40), p53A135V mice (1/19 at week 20; 2/42 at week 40) and wild-type mice that also receiving gastrectomy and iron (1/15 at week 40). Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) developed in INK4a/Arf+/- mice (1/14) and wild-type mice receiving gastrectomy and iron (3/14) at week 40. Twelve (92.3%) wild-type EGDA mice which were given iron from week 40 to 80 developed ESCC at week 80. None of these mice developed Barrett's esophagus (BE) or EAC.We investigated the possible chemopreventive effects of α-tocopherol (389 ppm and 778 ppm), N-acetylcysteine (NAC, 500 ppm and 1,000 ppm), their combination (389 ppm α-tocopherol and 500 ppm NAC), omeprazole (1,400 ppm), Licofelone (1,000 ppm), the combination of omeprazole (250 ppm) and celecoxib (500 ppm) and the combination of zileuton (1,000 ppm) and celecoxib (500 ppm) in our EGDA rat model. All the esophagi of rats were harvested for histopathological examination. α-Tocopherol dose-dependently decreased the incidence of EAC. The combination of α-tocopherol 389 ppm and NAC 500 ppm significantly reduced the incidence of EAC. Both omeprazole and Licofelone did not show inhibitory effect at the dose given. The combination of zileuton and celecoxib significantly reduced the tumor incidence, while omeprazole in combination with celecoxib did not show any effect on tumor incidence.  We concluded that under gastroesophageal reflux A/J mice are prone to develop ESCC but not EAC. α-Tocopherol can inhibit the development of EAC in our EGDA model with rats and stronger effects can be achieved when used in combination with NAC. Licofelone, omeprazole and omeprazole in combination with celecoxib did not show any chemopreventive effect on our EGDA rat model.
The high modernist moment: oysters, knowledge production, and conservation in the Progressive Era, 1878-1917

description: Oysters had a long history on the U.S. east coast of local-level management and this dissertation explores the transition to from local to state oysters management between 1880 and 1920. To do so, it uses James C. Scott's description of "high modernism." Scott defines high modernism as visionary state planning with sweeping restructuring that simplify natural and social systems in an effort to make them more legible for greater control. According to Scott, simplification leads to unintended consequences and failure because it undermines social and environmental complexity. In marine fisheries, high modernism takes the form of privatization and aquaculture. Oysters were the largest U.S. fishery in the late 1800s and they were the first case where U.S. government officials and scientists tried to privatize a marine fishery. Government aquaculture experiments were meant to aid the privatization effort. This study explores what led to this form of high modernism in marine fisheries management. In addition, the dissertation examines how these radical reform efforts failed due to resistance from oystermen and environmental difficulties with aquaculture. The dissertation argue that instead of high modernist reform, the new state agencies rationalized older management practices, which formed the basis for state-level management. The older oyster management system grew out of conflicts over oysters and contained a complex mix of practices and property rights, many of which were poorly or ambivalently upheld. The new state management agencies rationalized these older practices, and this required making them more bureaucratic. Much of the early efforts of the state agencies were directed toward producing knowledge for this end.
Pulsed electrical discharge in gas bubbles in water
Creators: name: Gershman, Sophia

description: A phenomenological picture of pulsed electrical discharge in gas bubbles in water is produced by combining electrical, spectroscopic, and imaging methods. The discharge is generated by applying one microsecond long 5 to 20 kilovolt pulses between the needle and disk electrodes submerged in water. A gas bubble is generated at the tip of the needle electrode. The study includes detailed experimental investigation of the discharge in argon bubbles and a brief look at the discharge in oxygen bubbles. Imaging, electrical characteristics, and time-resolved optical emission data point to a fast streamer propagation mechanism and formation of a plasma channel in the bubble. Spectroscopic methods based on line intensity ratios and Boltzmann plots of line intensities of argon, atomic hydrogen, and argon ions and the examination of molecular emission bands from molecular nitrogen and hydroxyl radicals provide evidence of both fast beam-like electrons and slow thermalized ones with temperatures of 0.6-0.8 electron-volts. The collisional nature of plasma at atmospheric pressure affects the decay rates of optical emission. Spectroscopic study of rotational-vibrational bands of hydroxyl radical and molecular nitrogen gives vibrational and rotational excitation temperatures of the discharge of about 0.9 and 0.1 electron-volt, respectively. Imaging and electrical evidence show that discharge charge is deposited on the bubble wall and water serves as a dielectric barrier for the field strength and time scales of this experiment. Comparing the electrical and imaging information for consecutive pulses applied at a frequency of 1 Hz indicates that each discharge proceeds as an entirely new process with no memory of the previous discharge aside from long-lived chemical species, such as ozone and oxygen. Intermediate values for the discharge gap and pulse duration, low repetition rate, and unidirectional character of the applied voltage pulses make the discharge process here unique compared to the traditional corona or dielectric barrier discharges. These conditions make the experimental evidence presented in this work valuable for the advancement of modeling and the theoretical understanding of the discharge in bubbles in water.

description: Published in 1918, 35 Sonnets by Fernando Pessoa is a literary example of the intricate relationship between the author and the English language as well as English literature and culture. The article revisits Pessoa’s sonnets while exploring the writing process, its content, the formal structures employed and its reception by both the English and Portuguese public. Despite facing criticism for their archaic style, Pessoa’s sonnets significantly influenced his Portuguese poetry. Pessoa’s English writings, though initially undervalued, are now recognised for their intricate stylistic complexities, reflecting his deep engagement with English literary traditions, mainly Shakespeare and John Milton

The viability of the employer-provided health insurance system

description: The dissertation evaluate the viability of employer-provided health insurance (EPHI) system in the United States, using two confidential data sets that have been made available to me by the Bureau of Census, including the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Insurance Component and Longitudinal Business Database. The empirical findings suggest that the current EPHI system will sustain, at least in a short period. Despite the public accusations that employers are fleeing from the insurance market, I find that dropping health insurance coverage is indeed rare. Employers are also reluctant to replace their insurance plans with HMOs, regardless of its price advantage. Once health insurance is offered, employers still make insurance plans available to most of their workers.However, employers are controlling insurance costs in more subtle ways with some success. They transferred a significant portion of the EPHI costs to their workers through increasing their contribution to the insurance premiums or lowering their wages. Around 20 percent of the increased insurance costs were shifted to workers through employee contribution to health insurance, and at least another 20 percent was transferred through slowing down wage growth after 2001. My findings also suggest the quality for EPHI purchased by employers falls behind the advance of medical service in general. When the quality for EPHI at the market improves by 1 unit, a typical employer will only increase its quality for health insurance around 0.32 units. Finally, the empirical results of this dissertation suggest that offering health insurance is a blessing for the business. Establishments offering EPHI were 29.2 percent more like to survive than others. Furthermore, the gap of default rate between establishments offering health and those not offering did not shrink from 1997 to 2004, despite the increase of health insurance costs.

From polyhistory to subversion: the philological foundations of Hermann Samuel Reimarus's (1694-1768) radical enlightenment
Creators: name: Groetsch, Ulrich
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This dissertation focuses on the distinguished scholar Hermann Samuel Reimarus (1694-1768) who, alongside Lessing, Kant, Mendelssohn, and Wolff, is one of the most significant and influential figures of the German Enlightenment.  Reimarus is perhaps best known for his subversive critique of revelation, known as the Apologie oder Schutzschrift für die vernünftigen Verehrer Gottes [Apology or the Defense of the Reasonable Worshippers of God], which was published posthumously by Lessing and spurred the fragment controversy, one of the most important disputes of the German Enlightenment.   Generally, this controversy has provided the context for existing scholarship on Reimarus, and by labeling him a deist and radical Wolffian, modern scholars have primarily emphasized the philosophical nature of his criticism. An intensive examination of the Reimarus Nachlass, with its numerous handwritten drafts of the Apology, lecture notes, adversaria, and bibliographies, paired with an understanding of his education, the influence of his mentors, and his teaching career as professor of Oriental languages at the Gymnasium illustre in Hamburg reveals, however, why such an approach ultimately ignores who Reimarus really was: a classical scholar and skilled Hebraist, raised and bred in the world of the polyhistors.  By focusing on Reimarus's use of philology, antiquarianism, and Semitic languages I show how these fields, developed by humanists and reformers and perfected in the course of the seventeenth century, influenced Reimarus's "Radical Enlightenment." Therefore, this project will significantly contribute to discussions of the Radical Enlightenment and the creation of the modern world by illustrating how its proponents - such as Reimarus - remained indebted to the tradition of the humanists.

Explaining inaction: feminist organizational responses to new reproductive technologies
Creators: name: Gougon, Danielle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Understanding what motivates groups to act has been central to the study of interest groups.  Scholars have also detailed the means by which groups act on the issues they have decided to pursue. However, explanations of why groups fail to act remain rare. Not much attention has been given to explaining why groups fail or choose not to pursue particular courses of action when it would seem reasonable to do so or why groups view some issues as appropriate for action while other, similar issues fall by the wayside. This study examines feminist organizations' failure to respond to the next generation of challenges to the contemporary feminist movement: new reproductive technologies.  I ask, "How can we understand the lack of feminist organizations' activity on new reproductive technologies given the centrality of these issues to the contemporary feminist movement and the impact that they have had on women and society as a whole?"  Using interview data from seven prominent feminist organizations, this study explores how organizations decide what issues make it onto their agendas and the influence that issue salience, political opportunity, policy entrepreneurship, and resource mobilization have on an organization's agenda-setting practices.  This study also provides greater insight into the significant impact that feminist reproductive discourse of rights and choice has on defining, even constraining, feminist organizations' agendas and politics.

description: The pulse sequences presented and analyzed in "Short two-qubit pulse sequences for exchange-only spin qubits in 2D layouts." Sequences are encoded in a JSON file as a list with entries such as the following:

[
    "cx_inplace": {
        "gate_name": "cx",
        "permutation_settings": {
            "allow_permuting_spins_within_qubits": False,
            "require_canonical_qubit_operations": False,
            "allow_all_permutations": False,
            "swap_qubits": False,
        },
        "ordered_spin_labels": ["A1", "A2", "A3", "B1", "B2", "B3"],
        "init_spin_dot_mapping": {"A1":1, "A2":2, "A3":3, "B1":4, "B2":5, "B3":6},
        "adj_matrices": ,
        "library": [
            ([(0,1), (3,4), (2,3), ...], [1.0, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0, ...]),
            .... (length n)
        ],
       "final_spin_dot_mappings": [
            {"A1":1, "A2":2, "A3":3, "B1":4, "B2":5, "B3":6},
            ... (length n)
        ],
    },
    ...
]

Each library (e.g. "cx_inplace") has the following attributes:

"gate_name": Name of the operation, such as "cx" or "swap".

"permutation_settings": Specifies whether pulse sequences in this library are allowed to permute the spins or are required to swap the qubits, etc. (see publication section III.C for more details).

"ordered_spin_labels": Ordered list of spin labels A1 - B3. This is used when interpreting "adj_matrices".

"init_spin_dot_mapping": Initial mapping of spin labels (A1 - B3) to dot labels (1 - 6 in this example). This is used in combination with "final_spin_dot_mappings" to specify the permutation that each pulse sequence applies to the spins.

"adj_matrices": Length-n list of 6x6 adjacency matrices. Each specifies a unique two-EO-qubit topology by encoding the initial connectivity between the six spins, ordered by "ordered_spin_labels".

"library": Length-n list of pulse sequences. Each pulse sequence is encoded as (pairs, angles), where pairs is a length-k list of pairs of dot labels and angles is a length-k list of exchange angles (divided by pi).

"final_spin_dot_mappings": Length-n list of mappings of spin labels to dot labels, specifying the final locations of the six spins after applying the corresponding pulse sequence from the library.

To find the desired pulse sequence, one must first find the library with matching permutation_settings, and then find the index of the adjacency matrix that matches the dot topology of interest.
Probing mSUGRA with a search for chargino-neutralino production using trileptons
Creators: name: Glatzer, Julian
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This thesis describes the CDF II 2fb-1 search for supersymmetric chargino-neutralino production in sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV p-pbar collisions using the "golden" channel with three leptons and missing transverse energy in the final state and the application of the results to obtain a limit on the parameter space of the supersymmetric model mSUGRA.Electrons and muons are reconstructed directly; isolated tracks are used as a proxy for tau leptons. Several analysis channels with different signal purity are defined and evaluated independently. Based on 7 observed and 6.4 expected background events this analysis was able set the first direct limits on chargino-neutralino production in mSUGRA since LEP. Based on mSUGRA phenomenology the sensitivity of this analysis is investigated; the mSUGRA parameter space is split into different phenomenology classes.Experimental results from previous searches in this channel by CDF and D0 have been presented for specific parameter values of a given model. A more model-independent approach is proposed and, by splitting the results of this analysis into channels based on tau content, the results of the analysis are generalized.
Time-resolved fluorescence studies of protein aggregation leading to amyloid formation
Creators: name: Giurleo, Jason Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Aggregation of soluble polypeptides or proteins into insoluble amyloid fibrils containing the cross-beta structural motif has been observed in the progression of over 20 diseases. Self-assembly mechanisms have been proposed but are not well-established.  Recent evidence has shifted some of the focus from amyloid fibrils to prefibrillar amyloidogenic aggregates as the cause of disease symptoms.  We used time-resolved non-covalent fluorescence labeling to follow the conformational changes occurring in a model protein (beta-lactoglobulin) during amyloid aggregation. The data was analyzed using a novel model-free globally regularized fitting technique.  This reduction of model space allowed for stable fitting and the ability to identify intermediate species. An aggregation model was then proposed. In the second half of this thesis, our attention is shifted to alpha-synuclein (aSyn). aSyn is the majority protein component of the fibrillar inclusion bodies found in brains of Parkinson's disease patients. We have begun a set of fluorescence lifetime experiments using covalent and non-covalent labeling schemes to elucidate the dynamic, conformational and aggregation properties of aSyn.

Volcanic forcing of climate over the past 1500 years: an improved ice-core-based index for climate models
Creators: name: Gao, Chaochao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Understanding natural causes of climate change is vital to evaluate the relative impacts of human pollution and land surface modification on climate.  Nevertheless, assessment of the contribution of natural causes to past climate change has been limited by limitations of the existing forcing indices. This dissertation has investigated one of the most important natural causes of climate change, volcanic eruptions, by developing a volcanic forcing index using 54 ice core records from both the Arctic and Antarctica.  The extensive collection of ice core data reduces errors inherent in reconstructions based on small number of cores, which enables us to obtain much higher accuracy in both detection of events and quantification of the radiative effects.  I extracted volcanic signals by applying a high-pass loess filter to each ice core record and examining peaks that exceed twice the 31-yr running median absolute deviation.  I then studied the spatial pattern of volcanic sulfate deposition on Greenland and Antarctica, and combined this knowledge with a new understanding of stratospheric transport of volcanic aerosols to produce a forcing index as a function of month from 501 to 2000 CE, latitude in 10° bands, and height from 9 to 30 km at 0.5 km resolution. This index is the longest and most advanced volcanic forcing index of the type.  It eliminates or minimizes many aspects of problems previous reconstruction had with the ice core records.  I forced an energy balance model with this new volcanic forcing index, together with solar and anthropogenic forcing, to simulate the large scale temperature response over the past 1500 years.  The results agree well with instrumental observations for the past 150 years and reasonably well with proxy records for the entire period.  Through better characterization of the natural causes of climate change, this new data set will lead to improved prediction of anthropogenic impacts on climate. Previous work suggested the 15th century Kuwae eruption might have been a two-phase event occurred somewhere between 1450-1464 CE, injecting 150-400 Tg of sulfate aerosol into the atmosphere.  Using 33 ice core records I found it was indeed a single-phase eruption occurred during late 1452 to early 1453 CE and it emitted about 140 Tg of sulfate aerosols into the stratosphere with 2(SH):1(NH) hemispheric partitioning.  This finding provides an important reference to evaluate and improve the dating of ice core records.

Evolution and systematics of the angiosperm order Gentianales with an in-depth focus on Loganiaceae and its species-rich and toxic genus Strychnos
Creators: name: Frasier, Cynthia L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: The Gentianales includes five families known for their horticultural value and medicinal effects: Apocynaceae (milkweeds and rosy periwinkle), Gelsemiaceae (Carolina jessamine), Gentianaceae (gentians), Loganiaceae (strychnine plants), and Rubiaceae (coffee and quinine). They are a monophyletic assemblage, but the relationships between the families have been uncertain. The Loganiaceae are a mostly pantropical group with a few members reaching into temperate North America and Australia. This family includes 15 genera that have been divided into four tribes, one of which, Strychneae, was paraphyletic in previous analyses based on chloroplast and morphological data. Strychnos is the largest genus in Loganiaceae with approximately 200 species distributed throughout the tropics. This genus is well-known for its alkaloid production, in particular that of strychnine. Although strychnine has been popularized for its potential nefarious uses, many Strychnos species have been lauded for their medicinal properties conferred by other compounds. Strychnos was divided into 12 sections based on morphology, but the monophyly of these was in doubt as the sections were morphologically, chemically, and anatomically heterogenous. Combined analyses of four chloroplast regions, matK, ndhF, rbcL, and trnL, placed Rubiaceae as the most basal family in the Loganiaceae. Loganiaceae and Gelsemiaceae were the two subsequently diverging clades, and Apocynaceae and Gentianaceae were sisters in the most nested position. Within the Loganiaceae, tribe Antonieae was basal to all other tribes. Strychneae was resolved as monophyletic only when morphology was included in a combined analysis with a nuclear ribosomal gene region (ITS) and rps16 of the chloroplast genome. An analysis of the secondary structure of the ITS region resulted in possible new synapomorphies for tribes Antonieae and Spigelieae within the Loganiaceae. The current sectional treatment of Strychnos does not reflect the evolution of the genus, and recommendations for improving the classification will be made. This work will have large implications for the understanding of chemical and morphological evolution on ordinal, familial, and tribal levels in the Gentianales, and provides a framework for further studies in biogeography, habit evolution, and speciation processes.
