description: Toxic metals exuding from mining remain a challenge to the environment and human health. This study investigated the distribution, contamination, toxicity, and potential risks of toxic metals in rocks, soils, sediments, and tailings from a typical Pb–Zn–F mineralization zone in Nigeria. In this study, 64 samples which include soils, stream sediments, mine tailings, rocks, and plants were collected. All samples were prepared in the laboratory using acceptable international procedures. Metals in media were chemically digested and analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer. The concentration of metals in media was above their concentrations in background samples. The average concentration of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn in soils of the area is 0.90 µg/g, 0.10 µg/g, 7.10 µg/g, 27.18 mg/kg, 8.90 mg/kg, 0.10 mg/kg, 8.10 mg/kg, 959.30 mg/kg, and 109.30 mg/kg respectively while their concentration in tailings is 5.17 mg/kg, 1.74 mg/kg, 23.40 mg/kg, 38.40 mg/kg, 19.60 mg/kg, 17.00 mg/kg, 1275.00 mg/kg, and 359.80 mg/kg, respectively. Pollution load index (PLI) values for metals are >1 indicating severe pollution in the area. Bioaccumulation and translocation factors were >1 and showed that metals were mobilized from the media to different parts of plants. Risk index (RI) showed that heavy metals posed strong to extreme ecological risks. The carcinogenic risk (CR) is >0.4 and non-CR is >1 for adults and children which implies exposure to high carcinogenic and non-CRs. We suggest that complete remediation of contaminated media be carried out in the area.

Early biochemical events during macrophage activation.

Subjects: Immune Process

description: The roles of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (cA-PK) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in the induction of macrophage (M(phi)) activation have been studied. The relationship of early changes in these biochemical parameters to changes in RNA and DNA synthesis has been evaluated. Three M(phi) systems, adherent peptone-elicited peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) from C3H-HeN mice and two murine M(phi) tumor cell lines, have been utilized in these studies. The M(phi) tumor cell lines were the J774.1 representing an activated M(phi) and the PU5-1.8 representing a M(phi) of the monocyte types. The activating agents utilized in this research included BCG cell wall material (BCGcw), lipopolysaccharides from E. Coli (LPS) and the synthetic adjuvant, N-acetyl-muramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP). Additional studies assessed the effects of prostaglandins of the E series (PGE), cyclic AMP analogs (8 Bromo-cAMP, 8-BrcAMP) and a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (methyl-isobutyl-xanthine, MIX) on the induction of ODC in macrophages.  BCGcw, MDP and LPS promoted a dose dependent increase in ODC activity that reached a maximum within 4 hours in each M(phi) system. Two lines of evidence suggest a role for cAMP in the induction of ODC. BCGcw and PGE were able to activate cA-PK within 2 hours in all three M(phi) systems. The increase in cA-PK activity preceeded the maximum in ODC activity observed in each M(phi) system. In addition, ODC activity was induced or enhanced in the macrophage cell line by PGE, 8-BrcAMP and MIX agents known to increase intracellular cAMP.  The early increases in cA-PK and ODC in response to BCGcw are associated temporally with an increase in RNA synthesis in all three systems. Increases in protein synthesis are also evident in response to BCGcw in each system. The changes observed in cA-PK activity, ODC activity, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis in response to an activating agent are believed to be associated with an induction of protein synthetic events which are involved in M(phi) activation.  Two observations supported the concept that M(phi) activation includes a change in specific cell functions and protein synthetic events. First, BCGcw and other immunoactivators decrease cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in J774.1 and PU5-1.8 cells. Second, PEC undergo similar biochemical changes and can be stimulated to increase production of a specific protein, such as arginase. In fact, all of the M(phi) systems studied are known to respond to activating agents by increasing protein synthesis.  In summary, these results indicate that an activation of cA-PK and induction of ODC are early biochemical markers of the activation process in M(phi). A role for cAMP in some critical step(s) involved in the activation process is inferred by these results.

description: An investigative study on the occurrence of the unintentionally produced toxic and carcinogenic polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorodibenzo furans (PCDFs) compounds was conducted in 11 bottom ash samples of hospital waste incinerators from three public hospitals in three distanced cities: Amman, Irbid, and Ma’an/Jordan. Total ash was sampled in the after burning chamber. The analysis was performed using a developed and validated GC/MS method in the selective ion monitoring (SIM) mode. ΣPCDD/Fs concentrations as international toxicity equivalence (TEQ) in individual samples in this study varied in the range of 206–476 pg I-TEQ/g with average value of 306 ± 88 pg I-TEQ/g and were found to be lower than the limit value (10,000 pg I-TEQ/g), where furans constituted a larger portion of the contamination compared to PCDDs to signature the de novo synthesis as major route in the incineration process. Limits of quantitation were between 0.015 and 0.10 ng/g with instrumental precision expressed as coefficients of variation of <15% and recoveries between 75.5 and 95.5%. Taking into consideration the incinerator bottom ash generation rate/batch/day and expressing the whole measured concentrations per year, the estimated amounts produced per year were in the range of 1.5 mg TEQ/year (Jameel Tutunji hospital) to 15.5 mg TEQ/year (King Abdullah hospital). These are sent daily or weekly to landfill- and dumping sites in each province which would pose serious future concentration accumulation of PCDD/Fs in these areas, transportation and adverse health effects.
Hypertext; and ethnographic representation: a case study

Subjects: Ethnography

description: This study explores the ways in which ethnographic data might be represented within a hypertext; format. It begins with an analysis of the historical roots of the technology to determine key characteristics that differentiate it from other media. Three characteristics  surface through this analysis: multilinearity, multivocality, and multimodality. The current study examines these characteristics from a more critical stance to determine what is possible in practice.  To this end, three ethnographic hypertext;s are analyzed to determine strengths and weaknesses. From this analysis, a set of design implications emerge that provides a framework for a case study entitled The Congo Prototype.  The Congo Prototype is built from an extensive study of a museum located in Belgium, The Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), along with interviews with  colonial veterans who served in the Congo up until Independence. This work offers the reader specific techniques that might be incorporated into future works, and at the same time, provides a stand alone ethnographic study of numerous narratives revolving around the Belgian Congo.  In the final sections of this dissertation, several suggestions are outlined for future research. It is suggested that practitioners might consider database driven ethnographies as a means of creating a more dynamic reading experience; cross linked studies to  achieve a higher degree of multivocality; and integration of a "play around" feature that would allow readers to determine the amount of data that could be viewed in support of specific claims.  The study concludes with a brief discussion of some of the intractable issues that cannot be solved through technological means, such as the crisis of representation, the importance of being in the field, and the politics of web publishing.

description: This research is aimed at bio-detoxifying aflatoxins in artificially contaminated cereals using Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). LAB isolates showed inhibitory activity against toxigenic A. flavus. The in vitro assay revealed noticeable decrease in the quantity of the aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and B2 (AFB2) in contaminated millet and sorghum treated with monoculture and co-culture LAB, respectively. The hematological parameters of the rats fed with contaminated diets treated with LAB were higher than the group fed with commercial diet. The toxic effect of aflatoxins on the livers of albino rats fed was ameliorated by the treatment of contaminated cereals with LAB.

Task-Driven Dynamic Text Summarization
Creators: name: Workman, Terri Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: The objective of this work is to examine the efficacy of natural language processing (NLP) in summarizing bibliographic text for multiple purposes. Researchers have noted the accelerating growth of bibliographic databases. Information seekers using traditional information retrieval techniques when searching large bibliographic databases are often overwhelmed by excessive, irrelevant data. Scientists have applied natural language processing technologies to improve retrieval. Text summarization, a natural language processing approach, simplifies bibliographic data while filtering it to address a user's need. Traditional text summarization can necessitate the use of multiple software applications to accommodate diverse processing refinements known as "points-of-view." A new, statistical approach to text summarization can transform this process. Combo, a statistical algorithm comprised of three individual metrics, determines which elements within input data are relevant to a user's specified information need, thus enabling a single software application to summarize text for many points-of-view. In this dissertation, I describe this algorithm, and the research process used in developing and testing it. Four studies comprised the research process. The goal of the first study was to create a conventional schema accommodating a genetic disease etiology point-of-view, and an evaluative reference standard. This was accomplished through simulating the task of secondary genetic database curation. The second study addressed the development iv and initial evaluation of the algorithm, comparing its performance to the conventional schema using the previously established reference standard, again within the task of secondary genetic database curation. The third and fourth studies evaluated the algorithm's performance in accommodating additional points-of-view in a simulated clinical decision support task. The third study explored prevention, while the fourth evaluated performance for prevention and drug treatment, comparing results to a conventional treatment schema's output. Both summarization methods identified data that were salient to their tasks. The conventional genetic disease etiology and treatment schemas located salient information for database curation and decision support, respectively. The Combo algorithm located salient genetic disease etiology, treatment, and prevention data, for the associated tasks. Dynamic text summarization could potentially serve additional purposes, such as consumer health information delivery, systematic review creation, and primary research. This technology may benefit many user groups.

description: This descriptive, correlational study was designed to examine the relationship between the independent variables:  perineal massage, position of women during delivery and use of lubricant during second stage, the independent variable, and tissue damage.  A total of 58 clients of a private birthing center selected to participate in either the control or experimental groups.  Participants in the experimental group were given massage instruction, mineral oil and a massage record.  Perineal massage did not significantly reduce the incidence of episiotomies or lacerations.  There was no correlation between the total number of minutes that perineal massage was performed and the total amount of tissue damage.  Using standard statistic interpretation, there was not significant difference between the position of the women during delivery and the amount of tissue damage.  However, this approached significance.  Taking into consideration the small sample size, results should be interpreted as inconclusive.
Effect of lexical access and meaningful linguistic context on second language speech perception

description: Novel second language (L2) phonemic contrasts are difficult for learners to  perceive and produce. Yet research has shown that even difficult L2 phonemic contrasts  can be learned under some circumstances. Most of this research has been done in  laboratory settings, using tasks that do not closely resemble natural communication.  Among other characteristics, natural communication differs from these laboratory tasks  in that (1) lexical access is usually not required in the laboratory tasks, and (2) target  words in laboratory tasks are usually not embedded in meaningful linguistic context. This  thesis describes an experiment designed to test whether these two characteristics of  natural communication make it more difficult for learners to perceive L2 phonemic  contrasts. The results of this experiment show that both requiring lexical access and embedding target words in meaningful linguistic context reduce the L2 learners' ability to use phonemic contrasts to distinguish L2 minimal pairs, but that processing meaningful linguistic context affects L2 perception more than does lexical access.

description: This survey research concerning the staff nurse promotion process to head nurse positions identified several factors which nurse managers look for in a head nurse candidate.  Managerial capability was listed as the most important factor in staff nurse promotion.  The following factors ranked second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively-interpersonal relations, clinical performance, education and years of experience.  Nurse Managers also placed a considerable amount of importance of the promotable characteristics of stress tolerance, motivation, independence, leadership, interpersonal relations, analysis and synthesis abilities, oral and written communication, quality of judgment and planning and organizing skills. Performance evaluations were indeed felt to be a valuable link in the promotion decision process.  Criterion-based performance appraisals were the most commonly used among the hospitals surveyed.  Ninety-four percent of the respondents felt that staff nurse promotions should come from within the organization.  Those performance evaluation pitfalls which occur most frequently among nurse managers are dump trucking, mistaken impression, rather leniency and reservoir of hostility.

description: In this study, the removal of nitrate and total coliforms by zeolite-supported bimetallic nanoparticles of zero-valent iron and copper (Z-nZVI/Cu) coupled with ultrasonic treatment was studied. The Z-nZVI/Cu catalyst was synthesized by ion exchange method and was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results of analyzes were indicative of the appropriate synthesis of catalyst and high distribution of iron and copper nanoparticles on zeolite. The effects of different operating parameters such as initial pH, catalyst concentration, initial concentration of pollutants, and catalyst concentration on removal of nitrate and total coliforms were investigated. The results showed that nitrate removal efficiency decreased with increasing pH and initial concentration of nitrate, while it increased by increasing the concentration of catalyst and ultrasonic frequency. To eliminate total coliform, the same trend was observed, except for increasing the removal efficiency by increasing the total coliform concentration. The results of optimization by response surface methodology (RSM) show that the maximum removal efficiency of nitrate and coliform were 97.77 and 97.77%, respectively. The results of the comparative experiments between the various processes showed that the ultrasonic process alone and ultrasonic coupled with Z-nZVI/Cu catalyst are suitable to provide the highest removal of total Coliforms and nitrate from aqueous solutions, respectively.
Resistivity and induced polarization survey of a basalt flow in a geothermal environment, Western Utah

Thesis and dissertation georeferencing project

description: Interest is rapidly increasing in geothermal energy as an economic and plentiful energy source. Because of the anomalous resistivities characteristically found in a geothermal environment, direct current exploration methods can be used to delineate hot, saline waters within more resistive ground rock, or resistive volcanic rocks within less resistive ground rock. Resistivity surveying was employed at Fumarole Butte, Utah, to delineate the contact between a basalt extrusive and underlying lacustrine sediments, and possibly delineate source waters of a near­ by hot spring that may be present under the basalt. Because geothermal investigation at Fumarole Butte is in a preliminary stage, the geology and hydrology of the area are reported in some detail. The results of dipole-dipole resistivity and induced polarization profiles across the basalt, and Schlumberger resistivity soundings on the basalt and on the sediments, are presented. Basalt and sediment resistivity values of around 2000 ohm-meters and 10-12 ohm-meters, respectively, are indicated. An increase in water, salt, and clay with depth is believed to cause the decrease in resistivity and increase in induced polar­ ization with depth, apparent from the resistivity-IP data.

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship of stress as measured by the variables of perceived change, type of caseload and the existence of symptoms of burnout, on job satisfaction, absenteeism and burnout.  The investigator wished to determine if reported institutional variables were significant in outpatient mental health center settings.  The sample consisted of 74 community mental health center staff employed in six units.  Data analyses included descriptive statistics on all the questionnaire items with selected correlations being performed.  The results of the study showed the predicted inverse relationship between burnout measures and job satisfaction.  A moderate correlation between self-reported job satisfaction and episodes of unscheduled absenteeism was obtained.  In addition, a similar relationship was found between job satisfaction and self-reports of feeling burned out.

description: In September of 1851, four federal officials left Utah Territory after serving less than four months. Chief Justice Lemuel G. Brandebury, Associate Justice Perry E. Brocchus, Territorial Secretary Broughton D. Harris, and Indian Subagent Henry R. Day created a furor in Congress with their reports of Brigham Young‘s rebellion against federal authority. This came as a great surprise in Washington since over the previous five years, Mormon agents had created an image of the Latter-day Saints as mainstream Americans who were loyal to the United States and had a conventional form of republican government. Unfortunately, the Compromise of 1850 resulted in Congress imposing an unwanted territorial government on the Mormons. When nonresident officials arrived in 1851, the Latter-day Saints reacted with defiance and antagonism. As the situation worsened, these officers feared for their safety and left the territory. Members of Congress responded to their reports of a Mormon rebellion by threatening to send federal troops to Utah in 1852. Latter-day Saint agents in Washington realized this would almost certainly result in the kind of violence that led to the collapse of four previous Mormon settlements. Even though the report of the returning officials accurately described the words and actions of the Church leadership, Latter-day Saint agents in Washington discredited their charges by creating an image of them as -runaway officials‖ whose word could not be trusted. Unfortunately, the victory over the officials did not end the conflict with Washington. Brigham Young‘s insistence that the Mormons and not the federal government ruled Utah Territory put the Latter-day Saints on a collision course with Washington and became the first step on the road to the Utah War.

French Guiana: Duranton 2011: 22 (?). “Guianas”: Burmeister 1847: 127 (as Corynoscelis cyclops); Arrow 1937b: 40; Blackwelder 1944: 255; Endrödi 1969a: 136 (designation LECTOTYPE Corynoscelis cyclops).

Note. Bothynus cyclops is described by Burmeister (1847: 127) based on material from “ Guyana,” which in that time could mean either of the Guianas. This record is copied in Arrow (1937b: 40), Blackwelder (1944: 255) and Endrödi (1969a: 136), then unwarrantedly specified to present day Guyana in Endrödi (1985a: 276) and from there copied to López-García et al. (2016: 496). There are no definite records for French Guiana (Duranton 2011: 20; Ponchel 2011; Dupuis 2016b), and we never encountered this species in Suriname. Because its distribution otherwise appears to be restricted to southern Brazil and Paraguay, we assume that this species does not occur in the research area and that the original specimen of Burmeister was likely mislabeled.

description: Radiation and chemotherapy are toxic agents; their clinical utility, nevertheless, and curative effect are restricted by toxic side consequences such as nephrotoxicity. This study aims to determine the potential protective effects of Garcinol (G) (10 mg/kg/orally/daily for 4 weeks), a natural polyisoprenylated benzophenone, against renal injury in cyclophosphamide (CA) (150 mg/kg i.p. single-dose) and/or radiation (R) delivered as fractionated doses of 2 Gy/week up to total cumulative dose of 6 Gy to induce toxicity in rats. Kidney injury has been examined by histopathological investigation. Garcinol treatment showed amelioration by a significant decrease in the inflammatory markers (IL-1β and IL-6). Similarly, Garcinol-injected rats exhibited a significant decline in monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1), macrophage inducible c type lectin (Mincle), spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), transcriptional factor (NF-kB), and toll-like receptor (TLR-4) compared to the CA + R group. Additionally, histopathological and immunohistochemical examination showed that the administration of CA and/or γ-irradiated rats induced severe injury in kidney, and a decrease in Cyclin d1 immunostain level compared to the control group. Finally, this work may verify the protective role of Garcinol significantly shielding the kidney from damage by inhibiting Mincle expression, which also promotes M1 to M2, and prevents Syk and TLR-4/NF-kB activation.

Solid oxide fuel cells

description: Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are electrochemical generators: they convert chemical energy into electrical energy using solid-state components. The electrolyte must simultaneously allow the passage of oxygen ions from cathode to anode, while preventing the passage of electrons from anode to cathode. Porous samples of Sm2O3-doped CeO2 (samaria-doped ceria, SDC) of composition Sm0.15Ce0.85O2-s were made. Electrical conductivity was measured using a 4- probe DC method over a wide range of temperatures and oxygen partial pressures. Conductivity rapidly stabilized at any given temperature consistent with the attainment of thermodynamic equilibrium corresponding to the imp0sed conditions. The ionic transference number of SDC at 400 oC in hydrogen was only ~ 0.4, which showed that the electrolytic domain of SDC at and above 400 oC was rather narrow. This also suggested that SDC is not a suitable electrolyte without a thin electron blocking layer. Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-8 (SFMO) powders were synthesized by combustion synthesis. Porous samples were formed and electrical conductivity was measured by a four-point DC technique over a temperature range from 200 oC to 800 oC in air and in hydrogen. It was observed that Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-8 is stable at 800 oC in water-containing atmospheres. However, it reacts with water at low temperatures. Reaction of Sr2FeuMo0.5O6-8 with water at low temperatures is a potential shortcoming of this material. The previous work demonstrated instability in water-containing atmospheres due to decomposition of SFMO into strontium hydroxides and di-hydroxides. In this work, we demonstrated that SFMO was also unstable in dry atmospheres, such as ultra-high-purity (UHP) hydrogen, and that different decay products result whether the imposed atmospheres are oxidizing or reducing. Powders with particles that are nanometers in diameter are desirable for creating materials with enhanced electrical, catalytic, and ionic properties. A method based on combustion synthesis for preparing nanocrystalline powder was investigated and samarium-doped ceria (SDC) was synthesized. The resulting products were characterized by XRD, TEM, and BET. The effect of fuel content in the starting mixture on the powder grain size was investigated, and the requirements for nanosized powders were demonstrated. Nanosized SDC powders showed improved performance in a fuel cell compared with conventional SDC powders.
Homeotic gene silencing in Drosophila.

description: Homeotic genes specify segment identity in Drosophila. Their pattern of expression is set early in the embryo by the transient expression of the segmentation genes. Later in development, when the products of the segmentation genes are no longer present, the Polycomb Group of genes (PcG) silences the homeotic genes within the appropriate segments. In an effort to study how PcG genes mediate silencing of homeotic genes, I carried out a screen for genetic interactions between a mutation in the Polycomb locus (Pc 3 ) and a series of mutations in genes that affect heterochromatic Position effect variegation (PEV). The idea that PcG silencing shares molecular mechanisms with PEV has existed for a long time, but no one has reported a detailed study in the literature.  We observed that several PEV modifiers interacted strongly with Pc 3 . One such gene is Su(var)2-10, also called dPIAS. We set out to characterize Su(var)2-10 genetically, biochemically and in vivo in an effort to understand how it might control PcG silencing. The Su(var)2-10 gene product, bears a high sequence identity to mammalian PIAS proteins, some of which have been reported to function as E3 enzymes in a protein modification pathway called SUMOylation. Thus we assessed whether SUMOylation contributes to PcG silencing and to PEV, and whether the SU(VAR)2-10 protein is a SUMO E3 enzyme. In our effort to study interacting partners of SU(VAR)2-10, we identified the GAGA factor. We established that GAGA factor is a substrate for SUMOylation and that this modification has biological significance for GAGA function in PEV.

Dehyrdogenation of indole and indoline compounds by cytochrome P450 enzymes.

description: 3-Substituted indoles like 3-methylindole, zafirlukast and MK-0524 are dehydrogenated by cytochrome P450s to form reactive 3-methyleneindolenine electrophiles, which covalently conjugate with protein and/or DNA nucleophilic residues to cause toxicities. Likewise, the dehydrogenation of indolines to form indoles is a potentially important transformation. However, the mechanisms that govern the dehydrogenation reaction by selected P450s have not been fully established. The goal of this dissertation was to evaluate the ability of P450s to catalyze the dehydrogenation of indole and indoline compounds. In the present study, the in vitro metabolism of another 3-substituted indole, SPD-304, a newly discovered small-molecule TNF antagonist, together with indoline and indoline-containing drugs including indapamide, DW2282 (anti-cancer), SB-206553 (5-HT 2C/2B antagonist), SB-224289 (5-HT 1B inverse agonist) and pyroquilon, and several synthetic indoline derivatives, were investigated.  We found SPD-304 was bioactivated through a dehydrogenation mechanism identical to 3-methylindole, to produce an electrophilic 3-methyleneindolenine, which was trapped by the nucleophile glutathione. This potentially important new drug caused the selective mechanism-based inactivation of CYP3A4. In addition, we also found that all the indolines were aromatized to indoles through a novel dehydrogenation pathway, which appeared to be initiated by C-H bond breakage instead of nitrogen oxidation. The metabolic profiles of the substrates were also assessed by in silico molecular docking. Dehydrogenation of SPD-304 appeared to be a major metabolic pathway, and the arginine 212 residue in the active site of CYP3A4 played an important role in hydrogen bonding with all indoline nitrogens by positioning the C-2 and C-3 carbons of indolines close to the heme iron for dehydrogenation. Using this in silico docking strategy, in combination with site-directed mutagenesis and homology modeling techniques, pulmonary cytochrome P450 2F3 and mutants were constructed and docked with substrate 3-methylindole. Substrate orientation favoring dehydrogenation was identified and verified by enzyme kinetic studies, with additional critical residues in the active site of CYP2F3 identified that could direct the selective dehydrogenation reaction. This research has significantly broadened our current understanding about the mechanisms of cytochrome P450-mediated dehydrogenation of xenobiotic indole and indoline compounds.
