description: Stress is a ubiquitous phenomenon that impacts the health of populations across all social strata. While acute stress can be beneficial, chronic stress elevates the risk for various diseases. A major part of the body’s stress response operates through the Sympathetic-Adrenal-Medullary (SAM) axis, leading to the release of epinephrine. This stress mediator can impact the immune system and alter the immune defense response. Natural Killer (NK) cells play a critical role in early immune responses, defending against pathogens and malignant cells. During stressful situations, NK cells are recruited to the blood circulation within minutes. The expression of adrenergic receptors, particularly β2 adrenergic receptors (β2AR), renders them sensitive to epinephrine. This study analyzed the response of NK cells to acute and chronic β2AR stimulation. We confirmed that acute β2AR stimulation inhibits NK cell functions in vitro. Epinephrine showed potent inhibitory effects, suppressing the activation of NK cells independent of the activation signal. The β2AR stimulation reduced NK cell adhesion, IFNγ secretion, degranulation, and cytotoxicity. We could show that β2AR stimulation effectively blocked the LFA-1 activity and led to the detachment from its ligand ICAM-1. The effect was rescued through the addition of Propranolol, a beta blocker, or ADRB2 knock out implicating LFA-1 inhibition as critical role for NK cell mobilization. The metabolic analysis revealed that β2AR agonists influenced the metabolic profile upon NK cell activation, leading to a prolonged glycolysis activity displayed by Seahorse ECAR values. In contrast, chronic β2AR stimulation nullified NK cell inhibition. After five days of β2AR treatment, NK cells were no longer responsive to a β2AR agonist. Chronic β2AR stimulation did not alter protein translation but led to receptor phosphorylation through the PKA feedback loop, initiating a G-protein switch and receptor desensitization. The β2AR treatment with long-acting β2 agonist (LABA) Indacaterol and epinephrine displayed different properties. While epinephrine inhibited NK cells only transiently as long as the β2AR agonist was abundant, Indacaterol could not be washed away and continuously stimulated the receptor. For this reason, a single LABA treatment was sufficient to induce NK cell desensitization. However, peripheral NK cells from LABA-treated patients remained responsive to epinephrine. They did not exhibit inhibition but showed an overall correlation in NK cell fitness with asthma severity. Taken together, the transient, inhibitory effect of epinephrine indicate that the hormone plays a crucial role in NK cell recruitment during acute stressful situations while repeated β2AR stimulation leads to desensitization.

title: The Ring Plus Project: safety and accessibility of vaginal rings that protect women in Rwanda from unintended pregnancy
Creators: name: Kestelyn, Evelyn
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis describes my journey to becoming a critical independent researcher starting with my Masters formations where I developed my interest in social sciences and public health through working as an investigator leading HIV and reproductive health research in Africa.It was in Rwanda that I realized there was limited understanding and research on beliefs and attitudes of new contraceptive methods and HIV prevention tools. Over the course of several years, I developed and implemented the Ring Plus study, a multidisciplinary research project, providing data on the safety, acceptability and adherence of a contraceptive vaginal ring (NuvaRing®) and on the effects of this ring on the vaginal microbiome in Rwandan women. Results from this study contributed to the production of new knowledge through several peer reviewed publications and other scientific outputs. Overall, our findings indicated that for Rwandan women intermittent and continuous NuvaRing® use was safe and acceptable. This work provides the policy makers and public health professionals in Rwanda with valuable information as to date this is the only data from Rwanda related to acceptability and safety to a vaginal ring with insight into how Rwandan women perceive and use a new contraceptive technology. This body of research demonstrates the importance of integrating mixed-methods into clinical trial settings and how our understanding of context specific knowledge should inform the introduction of complex interventions.

Effect of graphene nanoflakes on the structural, mechanical, and electrical properties of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
Creators: name: Zhou, Wenhao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a common thermoplastic polymer used in engineering, electrical, textile, and automotive industries. ABS has good impact resistance and toughness but suffers from low flexural modulus and strength. Typically, ABS is mixed with other materials to create a composite with better properties. In this work, graphite was exfoliated into graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) within ABS in concentrations of 1, 5, and 20 wt.% GNFs followed by injection molding to fabricate GNF-ABS specimens for testing. The morphology and structure of the GNF-ABS composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy. And X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The mechanical properties in flexure and electrical conductivity of the GNF-ABS composites were also determined. Results show that GNF particles created within ABS are multilayer graphene, and that increasing GNF concentration increases flexural modulus and strength, as well as impart electrical conductivity.

description: Unique functions of living organisms in nature inspire a broad spectrum of engineering systems. Since biological living systems are often composed of multiple soft active materials with micro-scale three-dimensional (3D) structures, fundamental understanding on soft active materials and development of micro 3D manufacturing techniques are essential for effective implementations of their characteristics and functionalities. Hydrogels are soft polymeric materials that undergo volumetric changes upon solvent absorption. Some hydrogels exhibit such changes in response to external environmental conditions, such as temperature, pH, light, magnetic field, electric field, and chemical triggers, which are referred to as stimuli-responsive hydrogels. They have played an important role in a variety of applications, such as soft robotics, soft electronics, and biomedical engineering. Despite the growing attention to stimuli-responsive hydrogels and their diverse applications, manufacturing techniques for stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been limited to simple two-dimensional (2D) fabrication methods which restrict full utilization of their unique material behavior.This dissertation focuses on the development and application of a high-resolution multi-material 3D digital fabrication technology, multi-material projection micro-stereolithography (MM-PuSL), in order to engineer stimuli-responsive hydrogels into 3D multi-functional soft active devices. Specifically, it consists of development of MM-PuSL, studies of fundamental physics for various stimuli-responsive hydrogels, including electroactive hydrogels, thermo-responsive hydrogels, and photo-active hydrogels, micro 3D printing of stimuli-responsive hydrogels, and development of multi-functional soft active devices, such as soft robots actuated by temperature changes or electric fields, and light-driven camouflage skin.

description: The magnetic proximity effect in superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) heterostructures with a large number of atomic layers leads to a suppression of the superconducting order parameter and appearance of Zeeman-like spin splitting of the local density of states (LDOS). Here we study the magnetic proximity effects in van der Waals S/F heterostructures with a few atomic layers and demonstrate that the corresponding physics is very different from the classical results. We find that the dependence of the superconducting order parameter exhibits dips as a function of the ferromagnetic exchange field and gating. The number of dips is determined by the number of monolayers in the heterostructure and, in general, the superconductivity is not suppressed by large values of the exchange field. The spin splitting of the LDOS cannot be described by an effective Zeeman field and manifests a multiple peak structure, where each peak is connected to a unique spin splitting of one of the superconducting bands, which also can be tuned by gating.

A computational study on thermal performance of microchannel heat sinks
Creators: name: Khadilkar, Omkar Prasad
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: In this research work, silicon microchannels are studied for computational analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics. Different designs of silicon microchannels were modeled and simulated in ANSYS FLUENT, evaluating thermal distributions for various boundary conditions. The operating parameters were inlet velocity, inlet temperature, and geometric configurations, under a constant surface heat flux condition. Microchannel cooling enhances heat transfer coefficients, thus allowing a high-power capacity. For a high heat-dissipating system, liquids provide better efficiency and capacity than air as a coolant. Hence water is used as the working medium in the microchannels.Fabrication of silicon substrates prefers the rectangular geometry for microchannel design. For efficient design, geometric configurations considered in the modeling are varied from 100 x 50um to 500 x 200um. The length of microchannels fluctuates in between 1mm and 4.5mm. The configurations considered were, Straight, U-shaped and Serpentine microchannels. Straight microchannels observed the best fluid flow characteristics. U-shaped microchannels had an increased pressure drop in the channels, but it showed better heat transfer characteristics than straight microchannels. The most effective in terms of heat transfer characteristics were the Serpentine microchannels. Straight microchannel showed an optimized heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics. Hence variations in it were verified for improved cooling performance. Based on the analysis, there is enhanced heat transfer rates at the cost of a massive pressure drop.

description: Microchannel systems for cooling applications such as in thermal management of electronic equipment are investigated and optimized under deterministic and reliability conditions. Numerical simulations are carried out to study the conjugate heat transfer and flow behavior. The numerical model has been validated by comparing with analytical and experimental results. Uncertainties are often significant in the operating and design of thermal systems. Any minor variations in the design variables or operating conditions may lead to system failure. In this study, a microchannel cooling system for a 1 cm x 1 cm electronic chip is studied and optimized under design uncertainties. Three significant design variables or operating conditions are considered: (1) flow rate, (2) channel width or the number of channels, (3) heat flux. The standard deviations for the design variables, which are assumed to be normal distributions, are taken as 5% of the mean values. The acceptable probability of failure is chosen as 0.13%, which is the usually accepted level in reliability studies. Response surfaces are used to represent the thermal and fluid behavior in the microchannel systems. Based on the Polynomial Response Surface (PRS) modeling results, a multi-objective optimization problem is formulated to reduce both pumping power and thermal resistance. Two major practical concerns, hot-spot temperature and pressure difference serve as constraints. With varying weights on the two conflicting objectives, Pareto frontiers for deterministic and reliability cases are determined and compared. The differences demonstrate the importance of uncertainty in the microchannel cooling applications. This study provides more reliable and realistic design solutions for microchannel cooling systems.This approach may be extended to the simulation, design and optimization of other thermal problems and processes. In this study, the selective laser melting (SLM) gas chamber and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems are simulated and optimized as well. It is proven that this basic approach presented here is applicable to a wide variety of thermal fluid systems. Similar concerns and trends arise in the modelling and design of these systems.

description: Modern machine-learning techniques are generally considered data-hungry. However, this may not be the case for turbulence as each of its snapshots can hold more information than a single data file in general machine-learning settings. This study asks the question of whether nonlinear machine-learning techniques can effectively extract physical insights even from as little as a {\it single} snapshot of turbulent flow. As an example, we consider machine-learning-based super-resolution analysis that reconstructs a high-resolution field from low-resolution data for two examples of two-dimensional isotropic turbulence and three-dimensional turbulent channel flow. First, we reveal that a carefully designed machine-learning model trained with flow tiles sampled from only a single snapshot can reconstruct vortical structures across a range of Reynolds numbers for two-dimensional decaying turbulence. Successful flow reconstruction indicates that nonlinear machine-learning techniques can leverage scale-invariance properties to learn turbulent flows. We also show that training data of turbulent flows can be cleverly collected from a single snapshot by considering characteristics of rotation and shear tensors. Second, we perform the single-snapshot super-resolution analysis for turbulent channel flow, showing that it is possible to extract physical insights from a single flow snapshot even with inhomogeneity. The present findings suggest that embedding prior knowledge in designing a model and collecting data is important for a range of data-driven analyses for turbulent flows. More broadly, this work hopes to stop machine-learning practitioners from being wasteful with turbulent flow data.

Optimization of direct small molecule inhibitors of Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction
Creators: name: Lee, Sumi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: The Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling system that regulates the transcription and subsequent expression of cellular cytoprotective proteins and enzymes plays a crucial role in preventing pathological conditions exacerbated by the overproduction of oxidative stress. Thus, a noncovalent inhibitor that directly interrupts the Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction (PPI) and eventually leads to stimulation of related antioxidant responses has attracted a great deal of attention as a preventive and therapeutic agent for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. Considering that the cellular potency or drug-like properties of direct inhibitors have remained as significant factors to be overcome, we have focused on discovering diverse classes of potent small molecule inhibitors based on known compounds via two different rational approaches. In this study, we found a series of 1,4-diamino phenyl and naphthalene scaffolds containing an oxygen-linked substituent that could be modified, contributing to greater structural diversity of the core moiety. The SAR studies revealed that O-linked derivatives displayed potent inhibitory activity in the submicromolar or nanomolar range. Among them, compound 120 is the most promising noncovalent inhibitor, with 64.5 nM in the fluorescent polarization (FP) assay and 14.2 nM in a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay. In addition, we designed three different scaffolds as direct inhibitors of Keap1-Nrf2 PPI via a molecular hybridization strategy, and identified THIQ and N-phenylglycine analogs which exhibited good potency for a preliminary SAR study. As a result, THIQ analog 139c was found to be the most potent with an IC50 value of 0.37 μM among a series of THIQ compounds developed by our group and other groups. Among the N-phenylglycine derivatives, compound 191b is the most active with an IC50 value of 183.4 nM in the FP assay and 107.5 nM in a TR-FRET assay. The optimized new scaffolds may serve as a promising starting point for further biological evaluation and rational optimization as a Nrf2 activator.

description: This tutorial introduces a systematic approach for addressing the key question of quantum metrology: For a generic task of sensing an unknown parameter, what is the ultimate precision given a constrained set of admissible strategies. The approach outputs the maximal attainable precision (in terms of the maximum of quantum Fisher information) as a semidefinite program and optimal strategies as feasible solutions thereof. Remarkably, the approach can identify the optimal precision for different sets of strategies, including parallel, sequential, quantum SWITCH-enhanced, causally superposed, and generic indefinite-causal-order strategies. The tutorial consists of a pedagogic introduction to the background and mathematical tools of optimal quantum metrology, a detailed derivation of the main approach, and various concrete examples. As shown in the tutorial, applications of the approach include, but are not limited to, strict hierarchy of strategies in noisy quantum metrology, memory effect in non-Markovian metrology, and designing optimal strategies. Compared with traditional approaches, the approach here yields the exact value of the optimal precision, offering more accurate criteria for experiments and practical applications. It also allows for the comparison between conventional strategies and the recently discovered causally-indefinite strategies, serving as a powerful tool for exploring this new area of quantum metrology.

The role of microbial sulfur metabolism in biogeochemical cycling of tellurium and selenium
Creators: name: Goff, Jennifer L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: The soluble oxyanions of tellurium and selenium are the most toxic forms of the two elements. While various stages of the biogeochemical cycles of each have been explored by other researchers, there remain large gaps in knowledge of how microorganisms interact with various tellurium and selenium compounds. What is known is that the sulfur metabolism of microorganisms is often involved in these interactions. In Chapter 2 of this thesis, explores the role of sulfate transporters in the uptake of tellurate in Escherichia coli K-12. Previously it was unknown how tellurate enters the cells. A mutant strain with a deletion of the cysW gene of the CysPUWA sulfate transporter system accumulated less cellular tellurium and exhibited higher resistance to tellurate compared to the wild type strain. Chapter 3 of this thesis begins with the observation that tellurate was significantly more toxic to E. coli K-12 cells grown on LB medium compared to M9 medium. Cystine was demonstrated to be the key media component controlling this difference. The cystine must be transported intracellularly—and therefore reduced to cysteine—in order to enhance the toxicity of tellurate. Tellurate was found to be reactive with cysteine and is reduced to elemental tellurium in that reaction. Oxidation of intracellular thiols increases the resistance of E. coli K-12 to tellurate. These results suggest that the interaction between the two contributes to the toxicity of tellurate. In Chapter 4, a Bacillus species was isolated from seleniferous soils that is capable of solubilizing elemental selenium. This process occurred extracellular and was demonstrated to be mediated by the sulfur metabolites (sulfide, sulfite, and thiosulfate) secreted by the organism. Finally, in Chapter 5, expands on the study of extracellular sulfur metabolite production by microorganisms under non-sulfur-respiring conditions. The dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 produces a substantially larger quantity of sulfite than the Bacillus species isolated in Chapter 4. This sulfite production was observed under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and was suppressed by amendment with cysteine suggesting that the sulfite is generated from the assimilatory sulfate reduction pathway. The data in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 suggest that bacteria can produce and export substantial quantities of sulfite that can impact the solubility and speciation of elements in the environment.
