  Using these concentrations UCN-01 was shown to reduce plasma membrane localization of Ebola VP40, Marburg VP40, and HIV-1-Gag significantly using confocal imaging of recombinant GFP tagged viral proteins. Finally, live Chikungunya virus, Zika virus, HIV-1, and Ebola virus was shown to be inhibited by UCN-01 treatment.

  Fundamental Studies on Ion-Enhanced Field Emission-Driven Microdischarges for Tuning Engineering Systems

summary:
  The work first investigates the resonant tunneling behavior in ion-enhanced field emission by solving the one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger's equation in the presence of an ion, and evaluates the enhancement in field emission due to resonant processes. Further, when the energy level for resonant emission coincides with the Fermi level of a metallic cathode, the current density is particularly enhanced.

  Engineering Multivalent Systems for Improved Drug Delivery, Allergy Diagnosis, and Bioprocess Development

summary:
  Next, chapters two and three focus on how targeted nanomedicines can be rationally designed for tackling one of the major bottlenecks in nanoparticle-based drug delivery: endosomal escape. Using a modular liposomal nanoparticle system, we have studied the implications of endosomal escape moieties in targeted drug delivery and determined optimizable parameters for optimization, improving targeted nanoparticle internalization &gt;10-fold and nanomedicine potency by ~3-fold.

summary:
  Unlike many American Protestants, these churchmen (principally of Lutheran, Episcopalian, Old School Presbyterian, and German Reformed background) rejected the aims and tactics of revivalism and of experimental religion more generally. Concerned that religious and political cultures were too readily blending into each other--to the detriment of both--leading Protestants criticized populist evangelicalism for its easy accommodation to and sanction of American cultural norms.

summary:
  This dissertation presents a fundamental reinterpretation of the cultural politics of postwar American fiction, arguing that the robust linkage between liberalism and highbrow literary fiction in the post-sixties United States must be understood in relation to the rise of modern conservatism and its evolving positions on race. But I argue that the conservative movement played an equally significant role in reshaping the dominant political order in ways that also reshaped normative assumptions about novelistic form, literary merit, and the value-laden implications of literary fiction.

  Predicting Effective Material Properties of Heterogeneous Composites from Well-Resolved Higher Order Statistical Description of Morphology

summary:
  The geometrical arrangement of heterogeneous materials plays a critical role in a material's behavior, and this work illustrates that the detailed characterization of real materials is essential to accurately predict the macroscopic (overall/effective) behavior. However, assumptions are often made about the microstructure including alignment of inclusions, dispersity of particle sizes, etc., and inclusions in real materials are often irregularly shaped and can lead to anisotropic and complex configurations.

summary:
  To investigate the effects of fault crossing conditions and structural properties on the seismic response of bridge structures crossing strike-slip faults, a parametric study of ordinary and seismically isolated bridges is presented by performing NLRHA using actual near-fault ground-motion records from earthquakes of different magnitudes and by varying the fault crossing angle, fault crossing location, pier height, and span length. This dissertation focuses on (a) developing and validating a simple method for generating across-fault seismic ground motions for the analysis of bridges crossing strike-slip faults, (b) investigating the sensitivity of the seismic response of bridge structures crossing strike-slip faults to different parameters and conditions by means of nonlinear response history analysis (NLRHA), and (c) evaluating the accuracy of the fault rupture-response spectrum analysis (FR-RSA) method against NLRHA in estimating the peak response of bridges crossing strike-slip faults for different fault crossing conditions.

  Optical Structures for the Mid–Infrared: Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of Optical Phonon Polariton Devices

summary:
  The ENZ mode is obtained from light interacting with a material at a frequency where the permittivity is vanishing, such material is known as an ENZ material. We investigate optical phonon polaritons resonances, these resonances are the result of light coupling with lattice vibrations (phonons) of polar materials, and are a promising approach to achieve the electrical field enhancement in a subwavelength volume in the long-wavelength IR.In our devices, phonon polariton resonances are achieved by coupling nanoantenna modes with epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) modes.

Thus, this project will focus on the years of Richard III's reign (1483-85) as crucial ones in understanding how Caxton constructed literary work within the new form of print, and how the role of incunables might emerge against the backdrop of fifteenth century politics.

In short, this literature enabled a debate about how power should be distributed in a 'civilized' society, what boundaries and structures constituted that civilization, and which configurations of race, class, and gender should wield hegemonic authority over it.

  Plasma Diagnostics through Experimental Data-Driven Predictive Modeling of Plasma-Induced Changes in Diverse Targets

summary:
  Then, I discuss the diverse diagnostics capabilities I achieved using predictive modeling of plasma-induced DNA damage, including plasma's gas temperature, reactive species generation, and dose rate of LTP. My study opens a potential gateway for developing novel plasma diagnostics tools that combine the power of predictive modeling tools such as machine learning and alternate probes like DNA.

  It also argues that such a spirituality advances the theological conversation on reconciliation by: prioritizing the perspective, role, and contribution of the victims in the process of reconciliation; insisting on the need both for personal forgiveness and for a social restoration of justice inspired by Jesus' merciful praxis and the values of God's Kingdom; and by arguing that Christian discipleship must foster a ministry of reconciliation aimed at the eradication of structural sin, the corresponding humanization of its victims, and the rehabilitation of the oppressor. This dissertation proposes that Jon Sobrino's Christology offers the basis for a Christian spirituality and a theology of reconciliation that promotes both the mending of historical reality and the reconciliation of human beings with God and among themselves.

At the level of explanation, I propose a rentier theory of subnational democracy, which shifts the focus of the rentier-state literature up by climbing Sartori's ladder of abstraction from the concept of resource rents to that of fiscal rents.

summary:
  With an active ALSSA, despite having unchanged total event frequency in the region y + ≤ 30, the events occur more frequently in one half of the actuation cycle but less frequently in the other half. In fact, it is shown that, especially in the near wall region, the range of skewness producing frequencies matches closely with the probability density function of the frequency of the ejection-sweep and sweep-ejection events.

The observed rates for LLi2(thf)n from measurements between -75 and -45 Ìâå¼C were extrapolated to 25 Ìâå¼C. Comparison of the reaction rates of LLi2(thf)n and [L2Li3]-[Li(thf)4]+ provide a reactivity ratio on the order of 8x105!!!

I argue that Catholic sisters' encounter with the Peruvian critiques of development—especially those distilled in liberation theology—provided missionary sisters with the language to criticize their own charitable aid efforts in Peru.

The grammars associate linguistic errors with foreignness, immorality, heresy, and poor cognition, and restrict language to humans.

This research demonstrates that a more accurate iris segmentation helps to improve the overall system performance, and that the inaccuracy of iris segmentation and noise detection could be partly compensated for with optimizations in the matching stage.

  The Role of Sumoylation in Early Development of Xenopus laevis and Regulation of 5S Ribosomal RNA Genes

summary:
  Pathways enriched for differentially expressed genes were identified using the extensive MetaCore(R) database and include; non-canonical Wnt signaling and regulation of cytoskeleton remodeling (shortened axis and open blastopore), regulation by Yin Yang 1 (heart defects), Twist/Snail regulation of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (open blastopore and neural tube), and Ets-1 regulation of transcription factors E2F1/E2F4 (heart defects and open blastopore). Gam1-induced decrease in SUMOylation activity relieves repression of the oocyte 5S rRNA genes and is correlated with a decrease in methylation of H3K9 and H3K27.

  Competitive Cationic Pathways and the Asymmetric Synthesis of 1,2-Disubstituted Cyclopropanes: Insight into the Cyclopropylcarbinyl Cation

summary:
  Electron rich aryl cyclopropanes were ultimately synthesized through transition metal couplings of aryl bromides that cyclized with high enantioselectivity. Rooted in the classic homoallylic cation rearrangement, in situ generated aryl sulfonates readily provided vinyl cyclopropanes in excellent yields.

  Motherhood, Declined: Negotiating Maternal Subjectivities in Irish and Caribbean Novels, 1934 - 2007

summary:
  I argue that women writers evoke images of motherhood to envision a form of personhood and citizenship in the new, postcolonial state specifically for women, in contrast to their male counterparts, who use the trope to argue for the autonomy of the state. The 1990s saw a boom in women's writing in both Ireland and the Caribbean traditions that explores a more sophisticated, nuanced engagement with motherhood; the second half of this dissertation demonstrates ways that women writers engage with this literary trope at the end of the twentieth century through an analysis of six contemporary novels.

As it participates in the constitution of a unique discourse that renders certain aspects of reality visible, labor becomes a 'particular lens' with which one can understand, ascribe meanings to prevalent economic and social relations, and destabilize, subvert, and transform the status quo by potentiating counter-hegemonic discourses and mobilizing alternative movements.

  Entering an ongoing debate within peace studies about the United Nations' top-down, institutions-oriented liberal peace, I use ethnographic research with women's peacebuilding groups in India alongside feminist political thought to argue for a critical feminist justpeace, developed from the bottom-up and taking the diverse experiences of marginalized women as motivation. I analyze their practices, synthesizing them into a peacebuilding praxis—reflection combined with action with the goal of transformation—which we can fruitfully compare to Western feminist thought.

summary:
  Given that individual differences do not necessarily elucidate intraindividual change, the present study aimed to further the study of depression as a system by exploring whether density of depressive affect at the daily timescale differs within individuals at five different timepoints across a ten-year span. Density of the depressive affect cluster was shown to have moderate to low, however, significant stability over time, and majority of the variance in depressive affect density was found to reside within, as opposed to between, individuals.

  Advancing Our Understanding of Normal and Disease-State Hematopoiesis: Leveraging the Unique Advantages of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Therapeutic Development and Disease Modeling

summary:
  Stem cell-based therapies have a long history in diseases of the hematopoietic system, where hematopoietic stem cell transplants – most familiarly in the form of bone marrow transplants from healthy donors – have been the standard of care for over forty years, often due to a lack of more targeted therapeutic options because of an incomplete understanding of the complex interactions between genetic aberrations and the development and progression of disease. In short, these studies have identified novel miRNA-modulated regulatory pathways enriched in genes differentially-expressed between functional human HSCs and their genetically-matched iPSC-derived counterparts, providing previously unreported insights into recapitulating normal hematopoietic development in vitro.

After covering some basic results, including a notion of generic types, we consider two kinds of VC-minimal theories: those whose generating directed families are unpackable and almost unpackable.

  Members of Christ: Reevaluating the Significance of Stoic Language and the Unity of Paul's Argument in 1 Corinthians

summary:
  Modern biblical scholarship on 1 Corinthians has long recognized the presence of language and concepts most closely paralleled by Stoic descriptions of the sage, as in 3:21–23; 4:8; and 6:12–20, and the sage's perspective on their relationship to other human beings, as in 12:1–11, 12–27.For all the cultural backgrounds adduced in support of the scholarly theory that Paul addressed libertine believers at Corinth in the letter, from Gnosticism, to Hellenistic Judaism, to realized eschatology, and to the Cynic-Stoic hypothesis, one of the most enduring elements of the theory of libertine Corinthians is the assumption that 3:21–23; 4:8; and 6:12–20 in some manner reflect Corinthian claims to possess a perfect form of wisdom that justifies immoral conduct analogous to Stoic claims to perfect wisdom. Methodologically grounded in fresh comparative research on the native function of the Stoic elements that appear in 1 Corinthians within the Stoic ethical system, my dissertation demonstrates that Stoic descriptions of the sage and the sage's perspective did not function as self-descriptions of one's wisdom or to justify immoral behavior, but were used by Stoic teachers to orient their students' moral aspirations and training towards the goal of benefitting others in line with a normative understanding of the common good.

  The present study sought to provide exploratory empirical support for parentification theory, which distinguishes between familial patterns of parentification that are destructive to child development and familial patterns of parentification that are an adaptive response to familial stress. Contrary to predictions, the classes did not differ on measures of child adjustment (internalizing, externalizing, social problems, prosocial behavior, cortisol reactivity to familial stress) concurrently or over time.

  We also conclude that omni-directional sensors are optimal in terms of emitter detection probability, regardless of emitter directivity. Additionally, assuming higher sensor quality results in higher sensor cost, we consider a fixed-budget deployment and observe that sensor quantity is more important than sensor quality for emitter detection.

  Difficulties in real world robust target tracking can arise due to low resolution, abrupt object motion, loss of information caused by projection of the 3D world on a 2D image, changing appearance patterns of both the object and the scene, non-rigid object structures, occlusions, noise in the image and camera motion. Next, a novel synergistic approach for the robust contour tracking of a moving target undergoing non-rigid motion is introduced.

Reducing uncertainty on critical reaction cross sections can both enable more precise predictions and provide constraints on physical processes and environments in the early solar system.

  As a result, this dissertation offers three significant contributions to discussions of medieval ideas about tyranny and Carolingian political history: firstly, that early medieval thinkers did not simply parrot earlier ideas about tyranny but rather creatively reshaped this concept for persuasive purposes in their specific sociopolitical contexts; secondly, that the manipulation of concepts and terminology like tyrannus in texts composed in support of the Carolingian dynasty constitutes an important dynastic power practice in keeping with others—capitularies, charters, shows of force, etc.—discussed more broadly by scholars of Carolingian history; and, finally, that the involvement of members and allies of the dynasty in the production and dissemination of persuasive, pro-dynastic representations of tyranny constitutes a kind of propaganda that served to advance or to reinforce the dynasty's claims to authority over a polity which they had usurped. The present dissertation aims to rewrite the history of ideas about the ancient notion of tyranny in the early medieval Frankish world.

  Alternative low-cost lithographic processes have been devised in attempts to improve the accessibility and throughput of array-based nanostructures, but likewise fall short in the ability to generate complex structures in organized arrays with true long-range order. This process is demonstrated through the synthesis of large-area arrays of Au structures on sapphire substrates using plasmon-mediated liquid-phase syntheses to grow hexagonal and triangular nanoplates on the substrate surface, as well as chiral nanostructures exhibiting a spiral geometry.

summary:
  The argument proceeds by analysis of the concepts of teleology and normative agency, by reflection upon the explanatory structure of the theory of natural selection, and by review of some contemporary scientific accounts of 'self-organization' and 'autonomous agents,' as well as of other physical features of living things. The concept of purpose, together with the closely related concepts of normativity and agency, stand at the crossroads of three academic disciplines: the philosophy of action, the philosophy of biology, and the nexus of theoretical biology and cognitive science that is concerned with the theory of the 'organization' of 'autonomous agents.'

  Deciphering Mantle Sources and Petrogenetic History of the Oka Carbonatite Complex, Qu&eacute;bec, Canada

summary:
  In-situ U-Pb ages for apatite, perovskite and niocalite define a ~15 Myr protracted history of magmatic activity. The combined and variable radiogenic (Sr, Nd and Pb) and stable (C and O) isotope data clearly demonstrate the involvement of at least three mantle components (HIMU, EM1 and ADM) in the petrogenetic history of Oka, and these are inconsistent with crustal contamination.

This enhanced performance is due primarily to the longer blocklengths that are made possible by the MLT approach; when the relay-to-sink link is the bottleneck, it is better to deliver one long MLT codeword to the sink than multiple shorter LT codewords.

  The final chapter examines why bank loan rates tend to adjust well when the monetary policy rate rises, but not when the policy rate falls. The finding that higher target capital-to-asset ratios cause BHCs to raise loan rates rejects the Modigliani-Miller Theorem that debt versus equity financing should not be a factor in corporate decision-making.

  As a consequence of the extreme diversity of peptide-MHC antigens, T cell receptors are paradoxically capable of cross-reacting to chemically and structurally distinct peptide-MHC.Research into the biophysical and structural underpinnings of T cell receptor antigen specificity and cross-reactivity have revealed some correlates and dependence on structural features, however our understanding remains too limited to develop immunotherapeutics intended to recruit T cells to a tumor in a patient-specific manner. A critical component of this is the recognition by T cell receptors of peptide antigen presented on major histocompatibilty complex (MHC) proteins.

  We investigate the aliasing patterns inherent in sub-Nyquist sampling and identify two extremes, specifically, uniform aliasing and periodic aliasing, and develop corresponding detection algorithms that allow tradeoffs between primary protection and secondary opportunities relevant to the goal of channel detection characterized Pm, the probability of missed detection, and Pf, the probability of false alarm, as well as the goal of wideband detection characterized by PISO and PEIO. We suggest two narrower band Nyquist sampling schemes with correspondingly much lower rates than wideband Nyquist rate, i.e., partial-band Nyquist sampling (PBNS) and sequential narrow band Nyquist sampling (SNNS), and establish a unified sub-Nyquist sampling structure, within which we study several important sub-Nyquist sampling schemes in literature.

To have good taste is to become mature enough to determine for oneself which objects of art or nature offer an excellent example for how we might strive toward making sense of some of our deepest concerns as humans, that is, an example which always remains worth contemplating, an example from which we can always learn more.

Finally, we investigated how the presence of the microbiome influence microRNA expression of Ae. aegypti strains that are susceptible or resistant to dengue virus and found that in the resistant strain, microbiome absence dramatically decreases microRNA expression.

  The first examines Humbert's life in the Abbey of Moyenmoutier and his work under Popes Leo IX, Victor II, Stephen IX, and Nicholas II. This dissertation concludes first, that Humbert was strongly influenced by the preoccupations of the reformation movement in the Western Church and the tradition of Latin liturgical exegesis in his approach to the Byzantine rite, and second, that his evaluation of these liturgical topics is nuanced and well-informed, if strongly biased in favor of his own tradition.

Distributive justice, which understands workers in firms and citizens in an economy to be true members of social bodies, requires due order and due proportion, with firms' profits proportioned out to workers through an equitable minimum and society's commitment to free labor upholding the rule of law to make this normative.

Chapter 1 (Mysteric-Supernatural Deification: A Doctrine Emerges) argues that Scheeben's theology of deification, with its characteristic accents on mystery and the supernatural, emerged as a counterproposal to the theological rationalism Scheeben saw threatening Christian life and theology in nineteenth-century Germany.

  Mammalian N-Glycosylation of Monoclonal Antibody Trastuzumab in Middle Silk Gland of Bombyx mori Silkworms

summary:
  Co-expression of MGAT2/B4GALT1 and anti-HER2 mAb produced only higher levels of biantennary N-acetylglucosamine (Gnt2) terminal ends on N-glycosylated mAb. We hypothesize misfolding of mAb decreased C1q binding, and either steric hindrance of the mAb Asn-297 hydrophobic pocket or competition of other target substrates for B4GALT1 prevented significant galactosylation of anti-HER2 in B. mori MSG.

  The remainder of the project is dedicated to demonstrating that the link between mother characters and the city of Jerusalem forged in prophetic texts was so strong that the authors of new narratives portrayed maternal characters in such a way that made them function as a parallel to the city of Jerusalem. Second Temple authors employed allusions to prophetic passages that feature the female city in order to make the mother's story indicative of the city's story while New Testament authors wrestled with this impulse to connect the mother character to Jerusalem in light of their changing views of the city.

  Using this data-driven approach, not constrained by a priori assumptions regarding MT behavior, we find that MT behavior is not well-approximated when constrained to measurements of simply growth and shortening; specifically, we report that a previously identified but not fully characterized behavior, `stutter', should be included in future studies of MT dynamics and in quantification of DI behavior. We also establish and validate analytical relationships between rate constants, MT tip structures, and overall MT behavior; a key result of these analytical solutions is the identification of three random variables that sufficiently describe the tip structure and strongly correlate with the o -rate.

  Typologies of Daily Relationship Quality in Marital and Parent–Child Subsystems: Implications for Child Adjustment

summary:
  My dissertation project aimed to: (1) understand the within-family variability in the MR–PCR dynamics; (2) identify typologies based on families' emotional dynamics; and (3) test the associations between family typologies and child adjustment. Different daily MR–PCR typologies were found for fathers and mothers: while the cohesive, fluctuating-cohesive, middle-of-the-road, and spillover type were the four typologies emerged most consistently for fathers and mothers, a compensatory typology was only identified for mothers in this study.

  Adaptation to Stress Among Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Role of Positive Affect and Personality Factors

summary:
  This daily diary study investigates (1) the relationship between daily stress, general life stress as well as stress related to the child's characteristics, and daily negative affect, (2) the role of daily positive affect in promoting resistance to stress and recovery from daily stress, (3) the moderating effects of optimism and perceived control on the relationships between daily stress, daily positive affect, and daily negative affect, and (4) whether daily positive affect serves to mediate both relationship between optimism and daily negative affect, as well as the relationship between perceived control and daily negative affect. Results from hierarchical linear models (HLM) revealed that higher levels of perceived stress were associated with decreased well-being, both within and across days.

Yet Hegel dominates the contemporary scene of Trinitarian theology and its reception of classical Trinitarian doctrine.

Additionally, the dissertation uncovers a pattern whereby the opposition to equality subdomain of social dominance orientation predicts opposition to ameliorative public policies, but not subdomains of hostile or modern forms of prejudice.

  I test this hypothesis using a combination of interview and survey data from the National Study of Youth and Religion, and I find that the concreteness with which adolescents discuss their religious beliefs and practices is positively correlated with the frequency of religious attendance when they are young adults. Drawing on contemporary cognitive linguistics, I argue that by measuring concreteness in language, interviews and text data more generally can give access experiential traces linked to past and future action.

  By analyzing the spectra with multivariate curve resolution analysis, SPR-SERS spectroscopy demonstrated its potential to distinguish specific binding signals from the net sensorgram, thereby expanding the capabilities of SPR spectroscopy. First, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy is correlated with SERS in the Kretschmann configuration, as demonstrated by successfully recording SPR sensorgram and SERS spectra separately and simultaneously, which is introduced in Chapter 2.

summary:
  Éamon de Valera's fundraising and speaking tour of the United States between 1919 – 1920 on behalf of the Republic of Ireland reflected the compatibility between Irish anti-colonial republicanism and the Wilsonian embrace of national self-determination after World War I. However, changes to United States immigration policy – in particular, the national origins quota system within the 1924 Immigration and Nationality Act challenged many of the assumptions amongst the Irish about the legitimacy and recognition they sought for Irish-American ethnic nationalism in the United States. This dissertation argues that this popular movement culminated in the radical changes to United States immigration policy within the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Services Act.

  This dissertation investigates two problems related to communicating reliably over packet erasure networks, adopting two different views of the network, viz., (i) a point-to-point erasure channel (that models either a single link or end-to-end communication), and (ii) a network of erasure links. Many communication networks are well-modeled as 'packet erasure' networks, as packets transmitted over these networks are either received correctly at the destination or are 'erased'; a packet erasure occurs when an error-corrupted packet is detected and discarded, or when a packet is dropped due to congestion in the network.

  A Mystical-Political Theology of Posttraumatic Healing: Teresa of Avila, Edward Schillebeeckx, and Contemporary Trauma Theory

summary:
  In the case of survivors of sexual trauma, political liberation involves bodily material well-being (i.e., safety and sexual integrity), relational well-being (i.e., the presence of healthy interpersonal relationships of support and mutual growth), as well as institutional well-being (i.e., participation in social structures that affirm safe and healthy sexual practices and promptly and appropriately respond if and when sexually violent actions occur). In this work I turn to the writings of Teresa of Avila and Edward Schillebeeckx in order to describe healing from sexual trauma as a mystical-political practice.

  Parenting among Mothers of Adolescents with ADHD: Maternal and Child Contributions and the Intervening Role of Parenting Stress

summary:
  With a sample of 107 mothers and their adolescent children with ADHD, the current study tested the hypothesis that the difficulties associated with an adolescent's ADHD predicted greater parenting-related stress, which in turn would be associated with problems in parenting behavior. Using a structural equation modelling approach, we tested a model in which mothers' parenting stress mediated the relationship between potentially stressful difficulties associated with an adolescent's ADHD (i.e., adolescents' metacognitive and self-regulatory problems, mothers' depressive symptoms) and parenting behavior (i.e., warmth, use of psychological control).

Led by some professors, student idealists turned the world of English letters into a romanticized space that functioned as a bulwark against the 'Papacy of Science.'

The impact of these challenges is clearly evidenced by the fact that only a handful of polymers have made it into commercial applications despite hundreds of new polymers have been developed and evaluated for gas separation membranes.

  The Sacraments in the Compilatio Questionum Theologie of Magister Martinus: Critical Edition with Commentary

summary:
  This dissertation corrects a longstanding assumption that Martinus belonged to the school of Gilbert of Poitiers and complicates an incompatible but equally venerable assumption that he was a follower of Peter of Poitiers. This dissertation further suggests that because of its practical concerns, Martinus' text resembles contemporary works which scholars have identified as belonging to a literature of pastoral care.

  The Effect of Food Assistance Programs on the Behavior and Well-being of Low-income Individuals and Families

summary:
  In the final chapter, I investigate whether waiving SNAP work requirements affects the labor supply of low-income Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs) by exploiting variation in the areas waiving work requirements as well as the age criteria for the work requirement. In chapter one, I examines whether expanding SNAP eligibility reduces material hardships of low-income households.

  Results from a meta-analysis of 64 studies suggests that species differences in the timing of a key life cycle event, oviposition, into shared insect hosts may be an important life history strategy mediating competition between parasitoid species in general and allowing for multiple taxa to co-exist on shared hosts. In addition interspecific competition between wasp species for limited resource during larval development inside fly hosts is mitigated by their temporal subdivision of the shared host fly resource.

Examining Aquinas's treatment of the regime of the Hebrews provides an avenue into the understanding of his views regarding the two-fold end of political community, the virtues of prudence and particularity, the best constitution and laws, and citizenship.

  Designing Microfluidic Components For Analyte Concentration and Identification Using AC Electrokinetics

summary:
  The advantage of using microfluidics and AC electrokinetic mechanisms is that fluid forces and particle specific forces such as dielectrophoresis and electroosmotic flow can be combined to induce forces that are not only fast and far reaching into the bulk (~1 cm/s) but also specific to the particle's characteristics (permittivity, size, etc.).

  The Effect of Misspecifying Random-Effect Time-Varying Predictors as Fixed on Estimates of Other Parameters

summary:
  Although negative variance estimates are uninterpretable, results of the simulation show that estimates of the fixed effect of the time-varying predictor are as accurate for these cases as for cases with positive variance estimates, and that treating the time-varying predictor as random and allowing negative variance estimates performs well whether the time-varying predictor is fixed or random in reality. A second simulation study shows that treating the time-varying predictor as random may have poor convergence, except when allowing negative variance estimates.

  This model expresses the performance (e.g., recovery rate and separation factors) in terms of operating conditions (e.g., the flow rates and concentrations of the inlet solutions) and membrane transport properties (e.g., the hydraulic and solute permeability coefficients).FD processes could enhance the extraction of deleterious dilute contaminants from water supplies; in these processes, membranes separate molecules based on chemical factors, rather than physical factors. A three-pronged approach is pursued to assist in the design of these two systems: an analytical model describes performance as a function of membrane properties and operating parameters; numerical solutions of the governing equations corroborate the model; and bench-scale experimental modules demonstrate the ability of the model to predict performance.

  Design, Synthesis and Application of Cholesterol-Based Molecular Probes as Biochemical Tools for the Study of Cholesterol Trafficking

summary:
  One such probe is a novel fluorescent cholesterol mimic that would serve as a general tool to track cholesterol movement in live cells or identify cholesterol localization in fixed cells. Our hypothesis behind this probe design is that these cross-linker probes can be used to identify and isolate protein pairs that participate in the transfer of cholesterol.

summary:
  Specifically, we present (i) the implementation of different layers, including convolution, ReLU, and pooling, in a CoNN using CeNN, (ii) modified CoNN structures with CeNN-friendly layers to reduce computational overheads typically associated with a CoNN, (iii) a mixed-signal CeNN architecture that performs CoNN computations in the analog and mixed signal domain, and (iv) design space exploration that identifies what CeNN-based algorithm and architectural features fare best compared to existing algorithms and architectures when evaluated over common datasets -- MNIST and CIFAR-10.We also focus on benchmarking and evaluating DNN architectures. We also show that TFETs can be useful to realize non-linear VCCSs, which are either not possible or exhibit degraded performance when implemented via CMOS.Then, we investigate cellular neural network (CeNN)-based co-processors at the application-level for accuracy, delay and energy.

The current experiments examined how using a secondary task to orient the cognitive and visual attention of drivers towards locations to the left of, in front of, or to the right of the driver affected their ability to keep a car in the middle of their lane on straight and curved sections of roads.

summary:
  I will describe considerations important in model construction, applications of ab initio molecular dynamics to structure annealing and accurate computations of reaction and activation free energies, first-principles thermodynamics approaches for predicting site speciation at realistic conditions, and approaches for predicting heteroatom distributions into material models. Computational models of zeolites must capture their three-dimensional structure, the intrinsic microscopic heterogeneity introduced by heteroatom substitutions that underlie their interesting chemical behavior, and the dynamic nature of reactive sites within the pores of molecular dimensions.

As I proceed from the problem of logical determinism to that of the compatibility of libertarian freedom with divine foreknowledge and finally to its compatibility with divine providence, I expect that more readers will judge that the principles that lead to the particular incompatibility thesis being discussed have greater plausibility than the implications of maintaining compatibility.
