description: During acute glucose deficit (glucoprivation), the brain mediates several counter-regulatory responses (CRRs) to facilitate restoration of euglycemia. Such responses include increased food intake, corticosterone secretion, epinephrine release, and blood glucose level. However, repeated incidents of hypoglycemia, especially in diabetic patients, can cause development of Hypoglycemia Associated Autonomic Failure (HAAF), in which one’s brain loses its ability to detect blood glucose level, and thus fails to generate CRRs. HAAF can result in sustained hypoglycemia, leading to seizures, irreversible brain damage, or death. Hence, it is imperative that we better understand the neural circuitry of CRR activation during glucoprivation. Prior work from our lab established that glucoprivic feeding requires ventrolateral medullary (VLM) catecholamine (CA) neurons that co-express neuropeptide Y (NPY). However, the connections by which VLM CA/NPY neurons trigger increased feeding are uncertain. Past work in our lab demonstrated that VLM A1/C1 CA neurons activate perifornical lateral hypothalamic (PeFLH) neurons during glucoprivation. We therefore hypothesized that NPY co-expressed by the VLM CA neurons activates the PeFLH neurons to elicit the glucoprivic feeding response. To investigate the functional role of the NPY signaling pathway from the VLM to the PeFLH during glucoprivic feeding, we utilized the ribosomal toxin conjugate, NPY-saporin (NPY-SAP) to selectively lesion NPY receptor-expressing neurons in the PeFLH of male and female rats. We then evaluated the effect of these selective immunotoxic lesions on glucoprivic feeding evoked by 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), an anti-metabolic glucose analogue that inhibits glycolysis. To determine the subtypes of NPY receptors involved in the VLM-to-PeFLH signaling, we pharmacologically blocked NPY receptors in the PeFLH during chemogenetic activation of VLM A1/C1 CA neurons in transgenic TH-Cre+ rats. We found that NPY-SAP lesioned significant numbers of PeFLH neurons including a subpopulation of orexin, but not melanin-concentrating hormone neurons. The PeFLH NPY-SAP lesions attenuated 2DG-evoked feeding but did not affect 2DG-evoked increase in locomotor activity, corticosterone secretion, or sympathoadrenal hyperglycemia. Finally, antagonism of PeFLH NPY receptors attenuated feeding evoked by chemogenetic activation of VLM CA neurons in male and female rats. Also, in male rats, antagonism of PeFLH NPY receptors attenuated feeding evoked by 2DG. We conclude that a VLM CA neuron projection to the PeFLH is necessary for glucoprivic feeding, and that feeding evoked by activation of this pathway is mediated by NPY.

description: Over the past decade, there has an increased interest in cities pursuing policies and projects to encourage environmentally friendly and “green” development (Katzman 2021). These efforts have resulted in cities implementing policies that prioritize green infrastructure improvements. Projects like retrofitting vacant or underutilized properties to promote energy efficiency, rehabilitation of former mills and warehouses into mixed-use spaces, and rail to trail initiatives are the most notable (Katzman 2021). These “green” development practices come as cities look to become more sustainable and proactive in preserving resources while improving quality of life for residents. Though the efforts are well-intentioned, they can have harmful unintended consequences (Curran & Hamilton 2012).

description: This dissertation consists of three case studies utilizing a bottom-up approach derived from complex adaptive systems (CAS) to explore larger scale trends in social organization. The first chapter introduces CAS and how it can be used as a theoretical approach. The second chapter presents the first case study, which utilizes global-scale social complexity data to examine the variables influencing the development of hierarchy for small-, middle-, and large- scale societies. This study confirmed previous ideas proposed by Gregory Johnson regarding increases in hierarchy with increases in scale. Additionally, this study provided additional details regarding which developments in information processing (e.g., texts) that enabled societies to further increase in scale. The second case study, examined in Chapter Three, utilizes household floor area data to make inferences about the level of wealth-based inequality within ancestral Pueblo society and contextualizes them with data from the Hopi village of Orayvi (c. 1900). Wealth disparities fluctuated prehistorically, particularly in the Chaco Canyon and Chuska Valley, surpassing those observed at Orayvi prior to the 1906 split. The third case study combines household area with faunal data to explore whether there were any differences in meat-based subsistence based on relative wealth as approximated by household area. Several patterns emerge indicating that the Pueblo I period emphasized equality through leveling mechanisms such as feasting, followed by behaviors in the Pueblo II period emphasizing competition in the context of increasing wealth disparities and violence. The final chapter (Chapter 5) draws conclusions from these studies that inform how CAS approaches can benefit archaeological studies of social organization.

description: This dissertation will delve into the two mathematical models that my collaborators and I have created to better understand the nuances of SARS-CoV-2 in circumstances involving ventilation. The first model takes into account the Wells-Riley model which deals with quantums of infection. We combined this approach with a multi-age SEIR model to understand why the world saw such devastating infection rates in places where specifically the elderly congregate. We applied this model to a hypothetical nursing home scenario using interpersonal contact data and compared that against different ventilation scenarios, and found that even with incredible filtration systems it was unlikely SARS-CoV-2 would have been stopped from spreading to the elderly. In a similar vein, we then moved on to creating a stochastic agent model where we would be able to understand how spacial positioning would play a role in the likelihood of illness for those around a main infector.

description: This dissertation is made up of three studies considering the most appropriate measurement and analysis of workplace accident underreporting. A systematic review (Study 1) highlighted a heterogeneous set of choices in terms of measurement and analytical strategies. Multi-item recognition-based scales seem to perform better compared to recall measures. Likewise, scholars used several analytical strategies when estimating count models. However, some of those might be inappropriate as they might lead to biased estimates. The Monte Carlo simulation (Study 2) showed that General Linear Model (GLM) with a negative binomial and Poisson distributions and Linear Model (LM) with raw outcomes returned similar parameter estimates (i.e., average marginal effects) in large samples, whereas the LM with log-transformed outcomes and GLM with binary outcomes yielded biased estimates. Analyses on a real dataset (Study 3) added two pieces of evidence: standard errors and model fit. LM with raw outcomes, GLM with a Poisson distribution, and GLM with a negative binomial distribution returned comparable standard errors in large samples, but standard errors in the LM with log-transformed outcomes and GLM with binary outcomes were underestimated. Compared with the GLM with negative binomial, LM with raw outcomes and GLM with a Poisson distribution showed worse fit to the data, likely capturing severe violations of distributional assumptions. Overall, these results suggest that LM with raw outcomes, GLM with negative binomial and Poisson distributions are equivalent in medium samples (N > 500). Six best practice recommendations are also discussed.

description: We derive and analyze a mathematical model for the spatiotemporal distribution of a migratory bird species. The birds have specific sites for breeding and winter feeding, and usually several stopover sites along the migration route, and therefore a patch model is the natural choice. However, we also model the journeys of the birds along the flyways, and this is achieved using a continuous space model of reaction-advection type. In this way proper account is taken of flight times and in-flight mortalities which may vary from sector to sector, and this information is featured in the ordinary differential equations for the populations on the patches through the values of the time delays and the model coefficients. The seasonality of the phenomenon is accommodated by having periodic migration and birth rates. The central result of the paper is a very general theorem on the threshold dynamics, obtained using recent results on discrete monotone dynamical systems, for birth functions which are subhomogeneous. For such functions, depending on the spectral radius of a certain operator, either there is a globally attracting periodic solution, or the bird population becomes extinct. Evaluation of the spectral radius is difficult, so we also present, for the particular case of just one stopover site on the migration route, a verifiable sufficient condition for extinction or survival in the form of an attractive periodic solution. This threshold is illustrated numerically using data from the U.S. Geological Survey on the bar-headed goose and its migration to India from its main breeding sites around Lake Qinghai and Mongolia.
Ah, that's the great puzzle: On the Quest of a Holistic Understanding of the Harms of Recommender Systems on Children

description: Children come across various media items online, many of which are selected by recommender systems (RS) primarily designed for adults. The specific nature of the content selected by RS to display on online platforms used by children - although not necessarily targeting them as a user base - remains largely unknown. This raises questions about whether such content is appropriate given children's vulnerable stages of development and the potential risks to their well-being.
 In this position paper, we reflect on the relationship between RS and children, emphasizing the possible adverse effects of the content this user group might be exposed to online. As a step towards fostering safer interactions for children in online environments, we advocate for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to undertake a more comprehensive examination of the impact of RS on children - one focused on harms. This would result in a more holistic understanding that could inform the design and deployment of strategies that would better suit children's needs and preferences while actively mitigating the potential harm posed by RS; acknowledging that identifying and addressing these harms is complex and multifaceted.

description: Consider the inverse acoustic scattering problem for a spherically symmetric inhomogeneity of compact support that arises, among other places, in nondestructive testing. Define the corresponding homogeneous and inhomogeneous interior transmission problems, see, e.g., [D. Colton and P. Monk, Quart. J. Mech. Math., 41 (1988), pp. 97-125]. Here the authors study the subset of transmission' eigenvalues corresponding to spherically symmetric eigenfunctions of the homogeneous interior transmission problem. It is shown in McLaughlin and Polyakov [J. Differential Equations, to appear] that these eigenvalues are the zeros of an average of the scattering amplitude, and a uniqueness theorem for the inverse acoustic scattering problem is presented where these eigenvalues are the given data. In the present paper an algorithm for finding the solution of the inverse acoustic scattering problem from this subset of transmission eigenvalues is developed and implemented. The method given here completely determines the sound speed when the size, measured by an integral, satisfies a particular bound. The algorithm is based on the Gelfand-Levitan integral equation method.

description: Over the last decade, the relationship between Hollywood and China has undergone substantial changes. China has emerged as an essential market for American blockbusters, and the film industries in China and the United States have enjoyed a highly collaborative relationship that peaked in the mid-2010s. At the same time, the Chinese film industry has undergone its own transformation, with Hollywood playing a pivotal role in helping to develop Chinese cinema. As a result, China’s film industry has experienced tremendous growth, with a significant increase in both the quantity and quality of films produced.
description: However, the Hollywood-China relationship has shifted dramatically in recent years as the United States and China entered into a period of heightened tensions. With the start of the Trump administration, U.S.-China relations began to fray, with a number of trade and political disputes emerging. These tensions have spilled over into the motion picture industry, with the Chinese government repeatedly rejecting Hollywood films, and American studios becoming increasingly cautious about engaging with the Chinese market due to concerns about political and economic risks.
description: Against this backdrop, this dissertation aims to map out the complex and evolving relationship between Hollywood and China from 2012 to 2022. Drawing on insights from international relations, cultural studies, and media studies, the overarching argument of the dissertation is that the Hollywood-China relationship is multifaceted and dynamic, requiring examination through multiple lenses. By exploring the various dimensions of the relationship over time, this study seeks to elucidate the factors that have shaped its development, as well as the challenges and prospects that lie ahead.

Adolescent Comprehensive Sexuality Education as a Supplement for Limited Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Syria’s Idlib Governorate IDP Camps
Creators: name: Hoch, Caroline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

Subjects: Sexual health--Study and teaching

description: The Syrian crisis is marked by extreme humanitarian need among refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), with more than 15.3 million people seeking help since the Syrian Civil War commenced in 2011. In Syria alone, IDP camps are inhabited by 6.8 million people, of which 1.8 million are located on the front line in Northwest Syria (NWS). For a myriad of reasons, the Syrian crisis has limited access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for IDPs in NWS camps, which increases the risk of negative SRH outcomes among women and girls. To address this problem, an eight-week comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) program will be implemented in 36 IDP camp schools in Idlib Governorate, Syria. The program will reach approximately 1,440 girls (11-14 years old) and inform on empowerment, gender and human rights, SRH information (e.g., puberty, menstruation, contraception, adverse outcomes), the Minimal Initial Service Package (MISP), and local SRH services. Program success will be measured by the prevalence of condom use, early marriages, sexually transmitted infection (STI) spread, and unintended pregnancies. This project ultimately aims to increase bodily autonomy, empowerment, and financial independence among internally displaced adolescent girls in Idlib Governorate, Syria.

description: This literature review is aimed at examining the effects of parental substance use on children’s educational and cognitive outcomes. Previous literature has shown that in addition to an increased risk of school failure, parental substance use is also linked to lower cognitive scores for children. This literature review provides support for the negative effects on children’s cognitive and educational outcomes associated with parental substance use. These effects on children include behavioral conduct issues, lower school GPA, overall school failure, lower cognitive test scores, and an increased risk of mental disorder comorbidities.

Between Two Worlds within India: Exploring Factors Influencing Antenatal Care Access in Odisha and Maharashtra
Creators: name: Gunjan Dhawan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Background and objective: India’s maternal mortality ratio continues to show a steady decline; however, more attention and resources need to be directed towards improving equitable utilization of and access to essential maternal health services across the states. Disparities are particularly acute in Empowered Action Group (EAG) states like Odisha, which exhibit the lowest health performance indicators and contribute significantly to the country’s health burden. In contrast, non-EAG states such as Maharashtra report better health outcomes. This study aims to explore the factors influencing the utilization of four or more antenatal care (ANC) visits during pregnancy in Odisha and Maharashtra. By examining the role of these factors in adherence to WHO-recommended ANC practices to improve maternal health, we seek to gain a better understanding of the disparities in maternal mortality ratio (MMR) between these two states.

Methods: The study uses the most recent 2019-2021 India’s National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) dataset to analyze data collected from ever-married women aged 15-49 years. Using the Anderson-Newman behavioral model for healthcare utilization, we identified potential predictors to test association with four or more ANC visits during pregnancy. We conducted bivariate analysis and ran regression models to examine the factors affecting ≥4 ANC visits in Odisha and Maharashtra. 

Results: While distance from health facilities was significantly linked to lower utilization of ≥4 ANCs in both states, factors such as place of residence, health insurance coverage, and desiredness of child were not significant predictors in either state. In Odisha, poor socioeconomic status, lack of healthcare-seeking permission, and high parity births were negatively associated with ≥4 ANC utilization, unlike in Maharashtra. Additionally, women with secondary education or higher and those of Hindu religion were not significantly more likely to utilize ≥4 ANCs in Odisha, while in Maharashtra, they were significantly more inclined to do so.

Conclusion: The findings underscore notable differences in maternal health service utilization across Indian states. Although Odisha shows a higher level of ANC use than Maharashtra, Odisha’s persistently higher MMR than Maharashtra may be partly explained by considerable inequities in ANC use across socioeconomic status, empowerment levels for care-seeking, and high-risk pregnancies. Targeted interventions addressing these factors are imperative to bridge the existing gaps and ensure equitable access to quality maternal healthcare services for all women, further reducing maternal mortality in India.

description: Counter-Strike : Global Offensive (CS:GO) is a popular first-person shooter video game with a unique feature: its out-of-game economy. CS:GO players purchase virtual cosmetic items called “skins” that decorate their weapons in-game yet provide no functional utility. Despite this, skins frequently sell for hundreds of US dollars. This paper investigates the nature of the CS:GO skins market and asks whether skins are more similar to consumer goods or more similar to speculative virtual assets like cryptocurrencies. I summarize the literature on virtual item pricing as well as literature on price prediction of cryptocurrencies. In order to assess the skins market quantitatively, I implement tree-based machine learning models to estimate the price of CS:GO skins based on their observable attributes and based on their historical price data. The attribute-based models reveal that observable attributes have little predictive power, while the historical price data models perform extremely well. I argue that because there is no clear relationship between skin attributes and their prices and because skin prices are well-described by methods used in cryptocurrency price prediction, CS:GO skins might be more like virtual commodities than traditional consumer goods.

description: High-speed railway vehicle bogies are the main load-bearing components, which are welded together from steel plates and tubes. Butt joint and T-joint are the main types and the joint thickness is between 8–20mm. The stability of laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) process correlated strongly with keyhole behaviour. In this paper, the common quality defects in full penetration root pass by LAHW were analysed. Controlling the root gap is adopted to stabilize the keyhole, to improve the stability of weld quality. A novel type of butt joint with micro structure based on Y-shaped grooves has been designed, to meet both the requirement of controlling root gap and industrial large-scale batch production. Two new structure parameters, 2 mm of the remaining blunt edge thickness and 0.3 mm of the half width of root opening, were proved by the flat plates welding test. Finally, the joint with micro structure and the root pass welding parameters were transferred to the welding process of tube crossbeam components. The LAHW process verification was completed, and the test results showed the process meets the requirements of ISO 15614.

description: Probiotics of fermented milks have been reported to confer health benefits to the host. However, probiotics tend to lose their viability during the storage of fermented milk products. This study hypothesized that the presence of ultrafine bubbles (UFBs) can increase the viability of probiotics in fermented milks by reducing the redox potential and dissolved oxygen content. The effect of three different types of gas UFBs (CO2, N2, & N2+H2) on the survivability of six probiotics in fermented milks stored at 5 ˚C for 35 days was investigated. The UFBs were prepared by passing milk through a micro-nanobubble generator and then inoculated with individual probiotics. Milks were incubated at 37 ˚C with the endpoint of fermentation at a pH of 5.0. Microbial and chemical analyses of Eh, pH, dissolved oxygen, and titratable acidity of samples stored at 4 ˚C were conducted weekly from day 0 to 35. The study was designed as a two-factorial (storage day and UFB type) randomized complete block design with three replications as blocks. The mean surviving bacterial population (log CFU mL-1), pH, Eh, and titratable acidity for each probiotic culture during storage were compared at P ≤ 0.05 through two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test using Minitab® 19 (Minitab Inc., State College, PA). Storage days and UFB type had a significant effect on the survival of Lactobacillus rhamnosus. In contrast, Lactobacillus bulgaricus survival was affected by storage days. The UFBs did not increase the survivability of B. animalis, L. acidophilus, L. casei, and S. thermophilus. Depending upon titratable acidity, dissolved oxygen, and redox potential increased, while pH decreased during the storage period. The non-significant effect of UFBs on probiotics survivability was attributed to the high pH of the endpoint of fermentation. Future work will test the effects of UFBs in < 4.6 pH fermented dairy products.

description: Higher order tensor inversion is possible for even order. This is due to the fact that a tensor group endowed with the contracted product is isomorphic to the general linear group of degree n. With these isomorphic group structures, we derive a tensor SVD which we have shown to be equivalent to well-known canonical polyadic decomposition and multilinear SVD provided that some constraints are satisfied. Moreover, within this group structure framework, multilinear systems are derived and solved for problems of high-dimensional PDEs and large discrete quantum models. We also address multilinear systems which do not fit the framework in the least-squares sense. These are cases when there is an odd number of modes or when each mode has distinct dimension. Numerically we solve multilinear systems using iterative techniques, namely, biconjugate gradient and Jacobi methods.

description: From its first appearance in London in 1789 to the end of the nineteenth century, the panorama, an exhibition consisting of a large-scale circular painting depicting a full three hundred and sixty degree view, presented London audiences with its own peculiar blend of art and popular entertainment. This phenomenon was roughly paralleled throughout Europe and America, for the panorama enjoyed world-wide popularity. Through the panorama and the related exhibitions which grew up around it, art was brought to a. wider public, and contemporary artists' preoccupations with realism, atmospheric effects, exotic subject matter, and art as an instrument of instruction were mirrored on a popular level. In 1793 Robert Barker, the inventor of panoramas, opened an establishment for their exhibition in Leicester Square. This establishment -remained in continuous operation for seventy years, during which time it experienced considerable and varied competition. In the very first years of the nineteenth century, a number of rival panoramas appeared in London, including the well known Eidometropolis of Thomas Girtin. Although the number of competing circular paintings decreased in the coming decades, a great many related optical entertainments arose, the most important of which were the moving panorama, which first appeared in London in 1810, and the diorama, which arrived from Paris in 1823. The original circular form, however, was not forgotten, and at the end of the 1820s, the Colosseum opened, displaying the largest panorama yet seen in London. At mid-century the moving panorama enjoyed a tremendous but rather short-lived burst of popularity. With its passing and with the close of the Leicester Square establishment, the panorama, in all its forms, entered a period of decline, although moving panoramas continued to be shown in London up to the end of the century. Interest in the circular panorama revived in the 1880s, but shortly thereafter the panorama was effectively displaced by the cinema.

Rocking Walls

description: Conventional reinforced concrete walls are designed to yield and sustain damage at the base but have sufficient deformation capacity not to fail in design-level earthquakes. While this approach is intended to provide life safety, the damage to the wall during earthquakes may result in the need to repair the wall. A low-damage concrete wall concept was the focus of this study. In this concept, the wall was discontinuous at the base, which allows for rocking. Base armoring at the toes mitigates concrete crushing and a replaceable energy dissipating connector at each end of the wall connects it to the footing. Post-tensioning was not used. A test was conducted on an energy dissipater using demands from a standard reversed-cyclic protocol used for seismic tests. The individually tested energy dissipater reached a strain before fracture that was estimated to correspond to 4.0% wall drift. Minimal pinching and cyclic strength degradation was observed in the stress-strain hysteresis for the dissipater. Following the dissipater test, a wall was designed, constructed, and tested under fully reversed cyclic lateral loading. The wall was half-scale with two curtains of transverse and longitudinal reinforcement, satisfying ACI 318-19 minimum reinforcement ratios. It was tested as a cantilever with constant axial gravity load of 0.09Agf’c. 4.0% drift was reached with minimal damage observed in the wall. Fracture of an energy dissipater occurred during the negative excursion of the first cycle at 4.0% drift. The extent of base armoring, which was intended to include the length of the compression block and height of the plastic hinge, was sufficient to prevent crushing of toe concrete without the use of special boundary element reinforcement. The load-displacement hysteretic response was flag-shaped. Strength loss was not observed, with the exception of minimal strength loss for repeated cycles at a given drift increment. An analysis of the backbone curve also showed that post yield effective stiffnesses of the wall was similar to other post tensioned walls with dissipating devices. The favorable performance of the tested wall suggests that longitudinal post-tension tendons are not needed, although use of post-tensioning can provide re-centering. Exclusion of post-tensioning simplifies the design, reduces construction costs, and eliminates the need for inspection of the post-tension anchorages during the lifetime of the structure.

 This species is a new country record for Saudi Arabia. Amyrsidea minuta is the smallest species of the genus and is characterized by distinctive male genitalia (Figure 2). This species is similar to A. afropavo Benoit, 1962 (Scharf and Price, 1983), which parasitizes the Congo Peafowl, Afropavo congensis Chapin, but it can be distinguished from it by the highly developed hypopharyngeal sclerite and the smaller number of sternal setae on both sexes (17– 22). Additionally, the male genitalia of A. afropavo have wider epimeres.

description: This study focuses on fuel cells using formate (HCOO-) and the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into HCOO- and ethylene. HCOO- has been considered as one of those promising alternative energy carriers, which can be fed into a direct HCOO- fuel cell (DFFC) to generate electricity via the HCOO- oxidation (FO) reaction (FOR). Moreover, HCOO- can be produced via the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (eCO2R). This makes possible the development of a sustainable, regenerative energy system combining an eCO2R unit and a DFFC to produce electricity with net zero CO2 emission. Furthermore, HCOO- can be fed into an electrochemical reforming reactor to produce hydrogen (H) via FOR. In addition, CO2 can also be reused to produce valuable C2 compounds such as ethanol, ethylene etc., which are conventionally produced via energy-intensive processes. Amongst catalysts, palladium (Pd) is one of the few metals that can be used for both, the FOR and the eCO2R into HCOO- (eCO2RF) at low overpotential. For the electrochemical reduction of CO2 into C2 compounds (eCO2RC2), multiple studies have focused on using copper (Cu) as the electrocatalyst. However, the low current density and high cost of Pd prohibit its application as an electrocatalyst at the industrial scale. In this research, we investigated two nano-catalysts aiming to improve the catalytic activity of Pd-based materials for the FOR and eCO2RF. This was achieved by modifying the electronic surface property of the catalysts via synthesizing bimetallic Pd-based nanoparticles (NPs). Carbon supported CuPd (CuPd/C), Iron@Iron Oxide (Fe@FeOx) supported Pd (Fe@FeOx/Pd) NPs were prepared via the adsorbate-induced surface segregation method and the successive salt reduction method, respectively. The eCO2RC2 were also investigated on the surface with different electronic properties: aluminum (Al), Cu, Cu (I) oxide (Cu2O), Cu (II) oxide (CuO), stainless steel 304, and titanium (Ti). Finally, since C2 compounds can also be used as fuel to generate H2, we have studied the oxidation of ethanol using the caustic aqueous phase electrochemical reforming process, which converts liquid oxygenated hydrocarbons at high-pressure to high purity H2. This process captures the produced CO2 within the electrolyte solution producing a near-zero CO2 emission.

description: Speech and language are essential components of human lives. They play a crucial role in our communication, social interaction, personal development, and help us form and maintain relationships with others – the ability to express ourselves through language allow us to share information, ask questions, express our emotions and needs, and communicate our beliefs, desires and intents. However, communication disorders can arise from disruptions in the way individual neurons process sounds or in the ways neurons interact with each other. For example, Parkinson's disease occurs largely due to a loss of dopaminergic cells in the brain, and people with Parkinson’s disease can have a variety of deficiencies in processing temporal components of speech sounds. The inferior colliculus (IC) is the major auditory processing and integrating center in the midbrain. Previous studies from our lab show that dopamine application in the IC can cause either increased or decreased neurophysiological responses, suggesting that dopamine alters the relative activity of neurons. My results here confirm these findings and expand upon our understanding of how dopamine shapes the responses of IC neurons. I found that dopamine heterogeneously alters the response properties of IC neurons to both simple and more complex sounds such as social vocalizations. I also found that dopamine modulates these responses through the D2-family of dopamine receptors. While the function of normal dopamine signaling in the IC is not well understood, my work is a crucial first step toward therapies for disordered dopamine signaling underlying communication- and auditory-based neurological disorders.
