Show moreCurrent insulin therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes often results in high variability in blood glucose concentrations and may cause hype rglycemic/hypoglycemic episodes. Closing the glucose control loop with a fully automated electro-mechanical pancreas will improve the quality of life for insulin-dependent patients. An adaptive control algorithm is proposed to keep glucose concentrations within normoglycemic range and dynamically respond to glycemic challenges. A model-based control strategy is used to calculate the required insulin infusion rate, while the model parameters are recursively tuned. The algorithm handles delays associated with insulin absorption, time-lag between subcutaneous and blood glucose concentrations, and variations in inter/intra-subject glucose-insulin dynamics. Simulation results for simultaneous meat and physiological disturbances are demonstrated for subcutaneous insulin infusion.

Show moreWhen using a personality questionnaire for predicting behavior, criterion-related validity improvements have historically focused on improving scale level construction techniques over examining the global impact of item-level characteristics on criterion-related validity. This article investigates the impact of item-level characteristics on the criterion-related validity of the Five-Factor Model (FFM) (as a personality instrument) as a predictor of job-related behavior. Two self-report FFM measures were correlated with workplace observer ratings to derive mean validity scores for each of the FFM items. A panel of judges then rated these items on the following item characteristics: ambiguity, abstractness, comprehensibility, wording, negation, transparency and social desirability. As hypothesized, social desirability, negation, wording and transparency were correlated with criterion-related validity. Contrary to the study hypothesis, abstractness was found to be positively correlated with criterion-related validity.

Show moreChronic low-grade inflammation is an emerging risk factor for chronic disease development and complication. Strawberries, rich in anthocyanins, attenuate meal-induced postprandial increases in inflammation and oxidative stress as well as improved post-meal insulin responses. Anthocyanins are considered to be responsible in part, for their health benefits. The bioavailability of anthocyanins is low and short-lived. The relationship between strawberry intake timing of consumption relative to a meal and the metabolic-, inflammatory- and oxidative stress responses that ensue are not known. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if the strawberry consumption timing would influence meal-induced oxidative-immuno-metabolic outcomes. Fourteen overweight (BMI 26 ± 2 kg/m2) healthy adults (aged 25 ± 4 years) participated in a 3-arm, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial. Subjects came to the research clinical on 3 different occasions for 10 hours (h) and received 3 study drinks: 2 hours before a meal, with the meal, and 2 hours after the meal. A strawberry drink was given at 1 of the 3 time points and control drinks at the alternative time points. Plasma analytes of glucose, insulin and triglycerides were measured over the 10 h along with oxidized low density lipoprotein, a marker of oxidative damage, and interleukin-6, a marker of inflammation. Results were compared between strawberry “timing” groups and with a demographically matched reference group (n=10, BMI 27 ± 2 kg/m2and aged 27 ± 4 years) that was provided only control drinks (no strawberry). Study result showed a significant reduction in postprandial blood glucose when strawberry was consumed before the meal compared to having the strawberry drink with or after the meal, p < 0.05. Compared to the reference group, eating strawberries, regardless of the consumption time, attenuated postprandial blood glucose without additional insulin, suggesting improved sensitivity. Interleukin-6was significantly lower after consuming the strawberry drink before the meal (p=0.048) and modestly lower after consuming the strawberry drink with (p=0.116) or after the meal (p=0.098) compared to the reference group. This study provides data suggesting that strawberries have a role in glycemic control and attenuating the pro-inflammatory effect of a modern diet. There may be particular advantages when consumed before a meal.

Show moreUnder certain conditions, shock-containing jets produce an intense tone referred to as screech. Screech was discovered about half a century ago by Alan Powell in England. Here I recount developments in supersonic jet screech - from Powell's first observation in 1951 to now. During this period more than 200 papers have been published - many offering only incremental advances. This paper provides a concise screech resource including a historical perspective, a summary of recent developments and a critical assessment of the state of the art. Topics include modulation of instability waves by shocks, shock-cell models and screech frequency prediction models, unsteady shock motions and clues about their role in shock noise generation. also. detailed nearfield measurements and computer simulation methods now available are discussed. However, despite the advances, screech amplitude prediction remains an elusive but increasingly important goal not only due to concerns about sonic fatigue failure of aircraft structures but because knowledge gained by the study of screech can be applied to a variety of resonant flow situations, including jet impingement, cavity resonance, and closed-loop active flow control.

Show moreAs wireless applications are increasingly prevalent in recent years, smartphones, the link between wireless world and common life, become more and more indispensable. Subsequently, smartphone applets become more and more complicated, protocols like 3G,LTE,4G have also been improved to satisfy people’s increasing requirement. This leads to an exponentially increase in energy consumption. However, the power of smartphone battery is limited, and thus how to improve energy efficiency and extend the life-time of smartphone battery becomes a critical issue. In wireless local area networks (WLANs), switching to low-power sleep mode to save energy is common. Power-Saving mode (PSM) was one of the standard algorithm in order to save energy. This feature allows devices to switch the WiFi on and off several times a second. However, research papers have shown that PSM is not really efficient in practice, and in many cases (e.g. multiple stations), can actually degrade performance. This sleep-scheduling algorithm, derived from GreenCall Algorithm is demonstrated to have lower packets loss rate while achieving higher energy efficiency than that of the existing GreenCall Algorithm.

Show moreEvery generation builds its own city in terms of the social, economic, technological and cultural conditions of its time. We have the opportunity to put forward a new model of urban development that responds to the new conditions of habitability for the start of the 21st century. The fact is that we no longer live in a compact metropolis, but in a discontinuous metapolis, an extensive territory criss-crossed by road and rail transport routes and occupied by kernels of population, logistics centers, industry parks and shopping and leisure centers around which people (local, national and foreign) move according to their needs. In this situation it is as necessary to propose strategies for the renewal and compaction of the urban centers as for the integration and protection of the elements that constitute the natural and geographical landscape of our environment. The challenge of constructing a new neighborhood on the boundary between the city of Valencia, in Spain, and it’s orchard (the famous ‘Huerta’) will enable to explore this open and dynamic new hybrid condition of the territory and to propose a new model for the construction of the urban fringes. I would like to address the challenge of integrating the landscape that surrounds the city of Valencia, the landscape we have inherited from our ancestors. To do this it is necessary to reformulate the very concepts of urbanism with which traditionally is operated in the city. The word 'urbanism' was coined by Ildefons Cerdà to designate the science of urban growth, a process based on the implanting of a rational grid, superposed on an agricultural layout, in which the owners of a plot of agricultural x land had transferred to them the ownership of a plot of urban land eligible for development. It is this principle that has informed and overseen the urban expansions of the 19th century and the modern city of the 20th, the typically North American low-density city and the historical revivalism of the end of the last century. But the challenge facing urbanism now is to manage to make the city grow, integrating into our developments the anthropological and cultural elements of the landscape that surrounds us - constructing and conserving are accomplished in the same act. As against the old city-country dichotomy I now propose to bring about an intelligent transition between these two formerly antagonistic modes of dwelling, an integration that lets us recognize the social and cultural value of -in this case- the landscape of the Huerta of Valencia and incorporate it into the urban fabric by means of appropriate management strategies. Given an increasingly uniform global society, we need to recognize the specific cultural and landscape values of each territory as fundamental to the quality of life of the people who live there and to reaffirm a distinct identity that can provide a competitive advantage. Because of this, in contrast to the town planning of the 20th century, conceived on the basis of the speed of the car, I would like to propose a new model of 'urban-agricultural' development that guarantees the creation of a high-quality local environment. More than designing a city, I would like to create habitable environments that effectively resolve the different factors that give people the assurance habitability at different scales: the neighborhood, the landscape and the home.

Show moreThis thesis explores and introduces new constructions for non-adaptive group testing which are particulary important for the parameter range we encounter in real life problems. After a summary of existing results, the rst part of this thesis introduces our own constructions, the Latin Square Construction and the Column Augmented Concatenation. Both of these constructions take existing good group testing matrices to create test matrices of larger dimensions. These new matrices are easy to nd for the practical small parameter range we are most interested in. We also address and prove asymptotic results of our Latin Square Construction. In case of the Column Augmented Concatenation the asymptotic results depend greatly on the codes used for the construction. The second part of our work is to address possible ways of augmentation of the Latin Square Construction. Here we explore the di erence in augmentation based on the properties of the starting matrix. In the appendices we give tables of best matrices coming from our constructions with xed, small column weights. We also give a list of the known best 2-disjunct matrices for small row numbers.

Show morePaenibacillus strains 32O-W and 32O-Y were attempted to be transformed by electroporation with constructed plasmid pNW33N-vgb, modified to contain the vgb gene which can be expressed as Vitreoscilla hemoglobin. Only attempts with 32O-Y were successful. Transformed 32O-Y/pNW33N-vgb was grown in CDM medium with dibenzothiophene (DBT) as the sole source of sulfur at different temperatures. Dramatic variability was observed in culture at different temperatures, so only the data at 45 °C was analyzed. The growth assay showed that the 32O-Y/pNW33N-vgb strain grew slower than untransformed 32O-Y, although Gibbs assay showed improvements in utilizing ability of DBT of 32O-Y/pNW33N-vgb compared to untransformed 32O-Y. This finding indicated that genetic engineering of introducing vgb into 32O-Y may cause deterioration in cell growth rate but improvement in desulfurization activities. Plasmid pUC-vgb-M2 was transformed into E. coli DH5α. The transformed DH5α/M2-vgb was cultured along with DH5α/pUC8:16, bearing plasmid pUC8:16 that was previously constructed in our lab and can be expressed to produce wild type VHb, and untransformed DH5α. CO-difference spectra were performed with the lysed cultures for the detection of VHb expression. As a result, DH5α/M2-vgb was confirmed to lack the ability to express functional VHb.

Show moreOxidative and inflammatory stress is associated with chronic disease development and progression. Recent studies suggest that consumption of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidant compounds attenuate oxidative stress and inflammation. Strawberries are abundant in polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant properties, which have attracted research attention for their possible health benefits. The aim of the project was to determine whether the antioxidant properties of strawberries formulated in a beverage would dose-dependently restore oxidative stress induced by a high fat/ high carbohydrate meal in insulin resistant individuals. Plasma was collected from insulin resistant individuals (n=25) every 30-60 min over 6 h after ingestion after a 650 kcal high fat/ high carbohydrate meal accompanied with a beverage containing 0, 10, 20 or 40 g freeze-dried strawberry powder. The antioxidant capacity of test beverages containing 10, 20 and 40 g strawberry powder were 9.31± 0.66, 19.10 ± 0.60 and 33.57 ± 1.75 μmol Trolox equivalents/mL based on the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay. The ORAC value for the placebo (0 g) was below the detectable limits. Biologically relevant oxidative stress was determined using the ORAC assay to estimate antioxidant capacity of the plasma and oxidation of low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) using an ELISA assay to determine the oxidative damage. Assessment of ox-LDL over 6 hr revealed a significant effect of time (p<0.0001), however no significant difference between the treatment dosages was evident (p>0.05). A marginal treatment by time interaction suggested possible time specific differences between treatments. The evaluation of antioxidant capacity of the plasma was split into assessment of the hydrophilic and lipophilic fractions. Hydrophilic ORAC results showed ix no significant differences between test beverages over 6 hr (p>0.05), including effects of time or treatment by time interactions (p>0.05). The lipophilic ORAC also did not reveal significant differences between treatments (p>0.05). Overall, it appears that beverages with different “doses” of antioxidant capacity did not result in dose-dependent changes in oxidative stress in insulin resistant individuals. There was a trend for protection of ox-LDL by the 20 g strawberry beverage revealed by differences among treatments at 240 min compared to the placebo/0 g strawberry beverage. The findings suggest that antioxidant food properties do not translate directly to plasma antioxidant capacity as measured by ORAC and alternative mechanisms are likely responsible for biological antioxidant effects of strawberry.

Show morePeptidomimetics are a broad class of structural variant synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs are natural antibiotics found in almost entirety throughout all living organisms. Although, AMPs were once thought of as promising therapeutics to combat infectious bacteria, key shortcomings such as low bioavailability, as well as high manufacturing costs have prevented them from reaching a clinical market. Peptidomimetics capitalize on the characteristics of AMPs thought to be responsible for their antibacterial activity, such as net cationic charge and amphiphilicity, while introducing key structural differences. The principal mode of antibacterial activity of AMPs is causing disruption to the bacteria cell membrane of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria types. The complexities of cell membranes with their various lipid molecule species and proteins makes it difficult to determine mechanistic details of AMPs. It is for this reason model membrane systems such as Langmuir monolayers and supported bilayers composed of the lipid species found in that of actual cell membrane are used. In the present work we have investigated the mechanism of action of different types of peptidomimetics such as N-substituted glycines (peptoids) and oligomers of acylated-lysines (OAKs) on model bacteria and cancer cell membrane systems using various experimental techniques, such as epifluorescence microscopy (EFM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray reflectivity, and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). From these studies structure function relationships can be obtained, which help aid in the design of new and more effective peptidomimetics. Through these investigations it was found that the substitution of hydrogen atoms for fluorine atoms in the phenyl side chains of cyclic peptoids increases antibacterial on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative model membrane systems, guanidino containing side chains compared to amino containing side chains in α-peptide-β-peptoid chimeras show greater activity on model membrane systems mimicking the cytoplasmic membrane of both Gram-positive and Gram negative bacteria. In addition, insights were gained on the anticancer mechanisms of the naturally occurring AMP magainin-2 and OAK C12K-7α8. The significance of the model membrane system being used cannot be overstated, when the overall arching goal is to bring these peptidomimetics to a clinical market. Thus, the biological relevance of the model membrane system is of great importance. It is this motivation that has lead our research group to develop a floating planar lipid bilayer that is bound to a lipid monolayer functionalized with polyethylene glycol, which to our knowledge has not been previously done. This system and the planar Langmuir monolayer that were used in this work are ideal systems for the use of high energy X-rays that are produced from synchrotron radiation facilities. From such measurements as X-ray reflectivity (XR) and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) molecular scale resolution of the peptidomimetic interactions with the model membrane systems can be achieved.
