Show moreThe tumor suppressor gene, Bax, plays a critical role in tumor progression through regulating cell apoptosis. Mutations on the BAX gene often result in silencing its expression and the loss of pro-death ability. However, there is a unique Bax isoform, BaxΔ2, recently discovered in these Bax mutated cancer cells. BaxΔ2 isoform shows higher pro-apoptotic activity than Baxα. Unlike the parental Baxα, BaxΔ2 does not target mitochondria and forms aggregates in cytosol. There is a unique 10-amino-acid peptide in the N-terminus of BaxΔ2 protein possible function as a special signal. Two serines in this region are predicted as potential phosphorylation sites for regulation of the protein activity. To test this hypothesis, we mutated both serines (SS) into non-phosphorylatable alanines (AA) by site-directed mutagenesis approach. Both BaxΔ2 wild type (BaxΔ2-SS) and mutants (BaxΔ2-AA) were tagged with GFP, which allows us to monitor the protein expression and cellular localization in live cells. Here, we found that the distribution patterns of BaxΔ2-AA and BaxΔ2-SS were similar and appeared as aggregates in cytosol. BaxΔ2-AA mutant also possessed the similar pro-apoptotic activity with BaxΔ2-SS wild type. These results suggested that the two serines in BaxΔ2 unique oligopeptide might not play a critical role in BaxΔ2 localization and pro-death activity under the current ectopic expression conditions. Further study is needed to have better understanding of phosphorylation in contribution to unique behavior of BaxΔ2.

Title: POINT CLOUD FUSION BETWEEEN AERIAL AND VEHICLE LIDAR

Show moreBecause of the increasing requirement of precision in region of 3-D map, we began to use LiDAR to establish a more accurate map. There still exist some problems although we have already made a great progress in this area. One of them, which I tried to process during my thesis study, is that we have two points source - Aerial LiDAR Data( Points gotten by Airplane ) and Vehicle LiDAR Data( Points gotten by Vehicle ) - while both of them have a different density and cannot be merged well. This process - Fusion-is kindly similar to registration, the difference is that the points we would like to merge are generated from different devices and have only few points pairs in the same region. For example, the Aerial LiDAR data has a higher points density in the roofs and ground, but lower in the walls. In the meanwhile, the Vehicle LiDAR data has a lot of points in the walls and ground region. It is beneficial to minimize the difference between these two point sets since the process is necessary for modeling, registration and so on. Therefore, my thesis is to minimize the difference between these two data sources, a procedure of Fusion. The main idea is to read the LiDAR data into data structure of Point Cloud, sample their density to the similar level, and select several corresponding special region pairs( we named these regions -chunks, e.g. Median strip and boundaries of road ) with sufficient interesting points to do fusion. Interesting points indicate the points with one and more special features among all points. And, the algorithm we used to implement the fusion is ICP( Iterative Closet Point Algorithm). Not similar to Registration of Point Cloud, research in the Fusion area is rare. Therefore, the existing algorithms are not well suitable in this project. I deduce some new algorithms during my research since the original ICP Algorithm cannot work well. Both Update Equation and Objective Function are modified. In this thesis, PCL( Point Cloud Library ) is mainly used to implement the basic function, such as nding the nearest points and sampling point cloud, and Eigen library to write the core functions( e.g. Modified Iterative Closest Point Alg ). I also use libLAS library to implement the IO operations and MeshLab to visualize the point cloud after modification.

Show moreThe main problem the IPRO addressed was that of insider misuse. Contrary to popular belief, the largest threat facing companies on a technology level is not intrusion, but rather insider misuse. Insider misuse is a relatively new area of research in the field of Computer Science, which is one of the reasons it’s a relatively unheard of problem. In addition to that, due to intense media bias towards intrusion, people are blissfully unaware of the problem of insider misuse. Ethically, it’s an interesting problem. Companies already closely monitor user activity, but any infringement on perceived privacy in the workplace generally sends everyone flustering left and right. The IPRO had to personally evaluate if we felt the necessary invasion of privacy was worth the overall result which is a more secure and profitable business. Companies can decide which approach they would like to take, but it’s hard to believe that a company would choose one that wouldn’t help to prevent a loss of money.

Title: SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY AND ACCENTS IN SPEECH-MEDIATED INTERFACES: RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Show moreThere continues to be significant growth in the development and use of speech–mediated devices and technology products; however, there is no evidence that non-native English speech is used in these devices, despite the fact that English is now spoken by more non-native speakers than native speakers, worldwide. This relative absence of non-native English speech in devices may be due in part to the costs associated with localizing speech devices, but it may also be attributable to the fact that not enough is known about user performance with accented speech in speech–mediated environments. In the absence of targeted research, developers may be relying on existing studies which focus on perception (impression) of accented speech, as a basis of decision-making. However, perception paints only part of the picture when it comes to understanding how and why people perform in certain ways and in certain environments. Three studies were conducted to answer the following questions: (1) What are the acoustic-phonetic characteristics of negatively- and positively-perceived accented speech? And how are these characteristics related to markers of intelligible speech? (2) How do participants perform on different types of accented-speech tasks? (3) What is the relationship between user perception of accented speech and user performance in response to accented speech? and; (4) How do participants perform on accented speech tasks of varying complexity? Arising out of this research, there are six recommendations for the use of accented speech in speech-mediated devices. Also, the findings of this study raise questions about inherent linguistic stereotypes which impact both our perceptions and our choices about xvi the accents we want to hear on our speech devices. A discussion about if and how these stereotypes can be altered and measured are included. Future research should examine the role of experienced non-native talkers in speech devices. Results of study one demonstrated that some experienced non-native talkers were positively-perceived by raters and may be good candidates for talkers in speech devices. A study like this would explicitly establish if listeners consistently make native vs. non-native distinctions in their preferences or if a prestige continuum emerges.

Show moreIndia’s huge and growing population is putting severe strain on all of the country’s natural resources. Most water sources are used on a domestic, industrial and agricultural basis. The quality of the water used is presumed to be the major problem that the people face, but the real problem is the quantity of water supplied. Quite a few organizations have been engaged with supplying drinking water to the community, but still not enough to address the needs of all the different sectors of the community, especially irrigation. In order to increase the availability of water to the people, it is necessary that the people have alternative means of supply of water, and a strong sense of the value of water.

Show moreThe overall conflict that IPRO 313 is trying to resolve is the dependency on oil as a fuel source for automotive vehicles. Along with the global and financial concerns that go along with oil as a fuel source, there has been growing interest in electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are the competitive issue that IPRO 313 has researched, investigated, and is working to resolve. Currently, most electric vehicles run on lithium batteries. The problems associated with these vehicles are the recharge time and service station compatibilities. The most popular electric vehicle is the Testla Roadster, which has a driving distance of approximately 270 miles per full charge. Although this is an adequate driving distance, it takes six to eight hours for a full charge. This amount of charge time is a vital drawback for electric vehicles. The vast majority of service stations are not electric vehicle friendly. Gas stations do not and have not set up areas for electric battery pack replacement, or vehicle charge. Withou
