Show morePhase retrieval is an important optimization problem that arises in di raction imaging, where the original structure of an object needs to be reconstructed from its measured di raction data that does not have information concerning the phase of the object. Multilevel algorithms can be used to compute solutions to the standard phase retrieval optimization problem by constructing a hierarchy of problems using a series of restriction and prolongation operations. The coarser problems have a quarter of the variables as the ner problems, and hence, there are much less linear algebra requirements for solving the coarser problems. Further, the prolongation of the solutions computed for the coarser problems yield good starting points for the ner problems. We can also use an approach that alternates between solving the coarse and ne problem. Parameters for these methods include the number of levels, prolongation and restriction operations, and the number of iterations to perform at each level. We study the solutions to the standard phase retrieval optimization problem that result from exploring these parameters and compare them to the results obtained from using single-level methods.

Show moreIn this thesis study, soil samples were procured from various locations thought to contain high petroleum content, such as gas stations. Those samples were enriched for those that contained bacteria that were able to metabolize sulfur-containing compounds, such as DBT. The bacteria were then subjected to various experiments to determine if they possess any or all of the genes (dsz) encoding the three enzymes of the dibenzothiophene desulfurization pathway, as compared with R. erythropolis IGTS8. This feat was accomplished by using both growth experiments on medium containing dibenzothiophene as the sole sulfur source and genomic DNA extraction followed by PCR with dszABC universal primers. The resultant amplified DNA was then ligated to pGEM®-T Easy vector and transformed into electrocompetent E. coli cells. The transformants were subsequently screened and sent for sequencing. Using Blast, the sequences were analyzed. No obvious dsz homologies were identified although homologues in some cases to enzymes involved in sulfur metabolism were found. Several isolates were found to have dsz-like activity via the growth experiments as well as the Gibbs assay, which measures accumulation of the end product of the dsz-encoded pathway, 2-HBP Soil sample #32 showed promise in growth experiments in that the culture grew well in M9 with DBT as the sole sulfur source at temperatures of 30 °C, 37 °C, 45 °C, and 55 °C. Streaking the culture discovered two colonies with distinct morphology that were designated 32-W and 32-Y, for white and yellow colonies. 32-W and 32-Y also grew independently in M9 with DBT. Positive Gibbs Assays were obtained from the cultures 32-mixed, 32-W, and 32-Y.

Show moreChromium supplementation has been highlighted by its biological function in improvement of glucose metabolism. As essential trace nutrition, chromium complex has great therapeutic potential in the alleviation of metabolic disorders, especially type II diabetes. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of two newly synthesized chromium (III) complexes Cr2(μ-OH)2(C4O4)2(H2O)4·(H2O)2, Cr2(μ-OH)2(μ1,2- C4O4)2(C2H6SO)4·(H2O)2 in comparison with a commercial compound CrCl3·6H2O on glucose uptake, as well as toxicity. We found that with 100 nM insulin stimulus, Cr2(μ- OH)2(C4O4)2(H2O)4·(H2O)2 significantly increased cellular glucose uptake, while Cr2(μ- OH)2(μ1,2-C4O4)2(C2H6SO)4·(H2O)2 inhibited the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Morphology study indicated that a relatively low concentration of these three complexes had little toxicity to cells within 24 h, but a higher concentration would lead to cell death. Cell growth curve supported the notion that the chromium (III) compounds in this study had no obvious cellular toxicity. Therefore, these results suggest that the newly synthesized less toxic chromium has a great potential in improvement of glucose metabolism in response to insulin. This study may provide valuable information in the treatment or management of diabetes. Keywords: Chromium, Insulin, Glucose uptake, Glucose metabolism, diabetes, type II diabetes
