Show moreResearch on Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) has produced several etiologicalmodels of SAD symptomatology, including a common cause model that conceptualizessymptoms as the result of a single underlying disease process, and the Dual VulnerabilityModel (Young et al., 1991) which posits that psychological symptoms of depressionfollow the onset of vegetative symptoms (e.g. hypersomnia, increased appetite) inindividuals with a vulnerability to seasonal changes. Studies of the structure of SADsymptomatology have been limited in their ability to evaluate these models. This studyused exploratory factor analysis and network analysis to examine baseline winter SADsymptoms (using a modified BDI-II) in 177 adults participating in a randomizedcontrolled trial of light treatment and CBT for SAD (Rohan et al., 2015). The factoranalysis supported a four-factor model that included negative cognition/affect, loss ofvitality, dysregulation, and increases in weight/appetite. The complex network model ofSAD conceptualized the network as a system of interacting symptoms. Results of thenetwork model paralleled those of the factor analysis in producing four communities ofinter-correlated symptoms. In addition to the full symptom network, a directed acyclicgraph was constructed to model causal relations between symptoms. Results suggest thatvegetative symptoms (loss of vitality and appetite/weight) lead ultimately to cognitivesymptoms, with intermediate effects of dysregulation symptoms. This partially supportsthe Dual Vulnerability model. Findings from the factor analysis and the network analysisare compared, and their implications for and treatment of SAD is discussed.

Show moreRecent epidemiology evidence suggests that vehicle emissions are major contributors to poor urban air quality. Human exposure to elevated concentration of traffic emissions has been associated with increased risk factors for a range of negative health outcomes. Evaluation of human exposure to vehicle emissions (e.g. ultrafine particles) mainly relies on dispersion models. Consequently, dispersion models need to comply with constantly increasing requirements to provide predictions of pollutant concentration. The dynamic of near roadway dispersion process needs to be investigated since most of the existing models does not account traffic condition variability (e.g. vehicle type and mode of operation) for dispersion. A five-year long field study was conducted to characterize dispersion near roadway with various vehicle mode of operation and vehicle type. To better understand the dispersion process near roadway, the impact of different ambient background categories (e.g. remote, lake, urban, industrial) on ultrafine particles (UFPs) need to be evaluated. Results demonstrate that each category has a different average ambient background concentration (pt cm–3) as follows: remote, 2,700; lake, 6,000; industrial 12,000 and urban 11,000. The large variations exist in ambient background concentration will result in significant variations in near roadway concentrations. The total near roadway measurements are generally near 20,000 pt cm–3 and reach to 60,000 pt cm–3 depending on the background and traffic emission. The dispersion near the roadway is also investigated in this study. A roadway restricted to light-duty vehicles (LDVs) was selected to conducted near roadway field measurement. Results indicate that the dispersion induced by vehicles is a two-stage process. When under the unsteady-state condition with small number of operating vehicles, the rate of dispersion near roadway increased from 2 m2 s-1 to 6 m2 s-1 as the number of vehicles increased. For steady-state condition, the rate of dispersion was constant near 6 m2 s-1 and not increased with additional vehicles. For a roadway mixed with both LDVs and heavy duty vehicles (HDVs), similar results were found. Dispersion increased from 6 to 18 m2 s-1 as total vehicle flow rate increased to 10,000 veh h-1 and HDV flow rate increased to 1000 veh h-1. Finally, the calculated dispersion near roadway is used to estimate the UFP emission factors. The UFP emission factors were ranged from 0.5 × 1013 to 1.5 × 1013 pt km-1 veh-1 and from 7 × 1014 to 20 × 1014 pt km-1 veh-1 for LDVs and HDVs, respectively. The variations in UFP emission factors are due to change in vehicle mode of operation.The results from this study will be critical for parameterization of dispersion near roadway and provide important emission inventory for interdisciplinary partnership among different fields (e.g. air quality, transportation design and urban planning) in solving transportation air quality problem.

Title: Testing Relational Proximity as a Moderator of Associations Between Marital Satisfaction and Health

Show moreIndividuals with high marital satisfaction tend to have better health and engage in healthier behaviors than those with low marital satisfaction. Multiple studies have explored satisfaction-health associations for married individuals in proximal relationships (PR), but no known study has tested these associations for married individuals in long distance relationships (LDR). LDR is a relationship arrangement that challenges traditional conceptions of romantic relationships and physical closeness. Related, recent empirical work indicates marital satisfaction-health associations may be weaker in LDR than PR due to unique relational and individual factors. The current study tested whether marital satisfaction-health associations are moderated by relational proximity (i.e. LDR vs. PR). We used an adult, married sample of individuals in LDR and PR (N=293) who completed an online survey on relationships and health. Unexpectedly, moderation results suggested that associations between marital satisfaction and health did not differ by relational proximity. One potential difference emerged: Marital satisfaction was associated with satisfaction with functioning for those in PR, but not LDR. Overall, study findings challenge recent empirical work reporting between-group, relationship-health differences between PR and LDR. Clinicians can utilize our findings to improve treatment for couples and families in LDR. Future research should utilize actor-partner interdependence models and longitudinal studies to further elucidate the associations between marital satisfaction and health for individuals in this unique but increasingly prevalent relationship arrangement.

Show moreThe goal of this project is to develop algorithms to be used in a virtual simulation of a garage door’s operation and to construct a working prototype that functions in the Thermotron environmental test chamber in The Chamberlain Group, Inc. facility in Elmhurst in order to collect data under a range of temperatures and humidity as well as a range of loading conditions. The simulator had to be made to fit as many of the operators under test as possible inside the limited size Thermotron that is not large enough to take the operator and a full garage door.

Show moreThe present study is to determine the Frank-Kasper phases in the Co-Nb-Ni system. Frank-Kasper phases, also called topological close packed (TCP) phases are one of the largest groups of intermetallic compounds. They are classified into several phases: A15, Laves, σ, µ and the M, P, R phases. In the 1200°C-isothermal section of the Co-Nb-Ni system, the µ phase and Laves phases exist over large composition ranges. In this study, the Co-Nb-Ni ternary system was investigated using optical microscopy(OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The experimental results were compared with literature data and thermodynamic calculations. XRD was used to identify the Frank-Kasper phases. In comparison with previous investigations, the large extensition of µ phase in the Co-Nb-Ni system was verified. In addition, the small phase (~67at. % Nb) shown in the alloys with ~50at. % Nb is the unstablized impurity phase. On the other hand, according to the results of experiments and thermo-calc, C15 phase was found instead of C14 phase compared with Gupta's study.
