summary:
  Although those movements do in some ways confirm our worries about voluntary poverty, I also recover from them a way of thinking about voluntary poverty that is sensitive to the complex relationship between poverty and social power. Modern theologians attuned to the realities of poverty have usually kept their distance from classical Christian affirmations of voluntary poverty.

  Characterization of the JAK1 / Stat3 pathway during zebrafish retinal development and light-induced photoreceptor regeneration

summary:
  Also, previous studies demonstrated that tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat3 and downstream activation of Stat3-activated genes, including the two zebrafish paralogues of Socs3 (socs3a and socs3b), was associated with neuronal regeneration (Elsaeidi et al., 2014; Liang et al., 2012). We demonstrated previously that, following light-induced photoreceptor cell death, a loss of either TNF&#945; or Stat3 reduced M?ller glial cell proliferation significantly, suggesting that the number of M?ller glia that reenter the cell cycle following retinal damage was dependent upon coordinated expression of TNF&#945; and Stat3 (Nelson et al., 2013).

  This dissertation presents experimental and analytical investigations of a high-performance (Type III) grouted connection for ductile energy-dissipating (ED) deformed steel reinforcing bars across gap-opening joints in seismic precast concrete structures. Although tapered sleeves produced desirable results, straight sleeves with adequate corrugations also allowed large cyclic ED bar stresses and strains to be reached.

  This is perhaps most evident in the way in which Cyril's exegetical account of the impurity of Jewish moral character supplies the theoretical underwriting for the strict separation of church from synagogue, a separation demanded by his incipient notion of Jewish space as marginal, polluted, and estranged from the divine presence localized in the church, the true tabernacle. Although many of Cyril's criticisms of the limitations of the law clearly stem from his Pauline theological commitments, certain motifs that figure prominently in his exegesis, such as that of Jewish pollution, are not without extra-theological implications.

  Positional Cloning and RNA Interference Assay Demonstrated Plasmodium-Melanizing Function of a Serine Protease Within the Plasmodium Encapsulation 1 Locus (Pen1) of the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles Gambiae

summary:
  We also show that RNAi knockdown abolishes CLIPB17 gene induction in L35 and significantly reduces refractoriness to both Plasmodium berghei and P. cynomolgi B. Melanotic encapsulation represents the fastest and most important endogenous refractory mechanism against pathogens too large or too numerous for other immune mechanisms to cope with (Vey, 1993). Melanin-associated refractoriness to the primate parasite P. cynomolgi B and the rodent parasite P. berghei is influenced by at least three Quantitative trait loci (QTLs).

summary:
  In this perspective, the trinitarian anthropology of the prima pars (chapter three) may be seen to frame the ascetical economy of virtue and gift of the prima secunda and secunda secundae (chapter four); and the tertia pars elaborates the christological and sacramental condition of discipleship, first in terms of the salvific purpose of the Incarnation and all that the Word did and suffered (chapter five), and then in terms of God's provision of sacraments under the sign of the Word as means to the end of human sanctification (chapter six), preeminently in the Eucharist (chapter seven). By taking Christ as Word as its focus, the present study aims to elucidate the most basic theological and rhetorical structure of Thomas Aquinas's Summa theologiae, without which claims of christological centrality in the work as a whole remain intuitive and gestural at best.

summary:
  This thesis outlines a research project in the area of C-C coupling reactions to synthesize industrially relevant products using substrate molecules typically small oxygenates, such as, acetic acid, and C2-C3 aldehydes. The data show the presence of Ce3+, and Mn3+ heteroatom species in the crystalline zeolite framework, and these catalysts are active at low temperature during self-aldol condensation reaction as well as can deliver higher rates to the desired products during the C-C coupling reactions of small oxygenates tested.

  This same idea is also applied to the design of path generating compliant mechanisms whose complete output paths are examined within a two-objective GA. The mechanization process is reformulated so that a group of single degree-of-freedom solution mechanisms that trade off minimizing matching error with maximizing mechanical advantage can be found efficiently from a genetic algorithm (GA) optimization.

  High-Resolution Analyses of Lunar and Martian Samples, and Impactor Material from the Chicxulub Basin Using ICP-MS

summary:
  ICP-MS analyses on material recovered from the Chicxulub Impact Basin have indicated that platinum group elements are more concentrated in clast-free impact melt than other impact lithologies. This research provides a method to quantify and correct for this phenomenon, then applies the method to a suite of lunar samples and terrestrial impact samples to correct any artificial inflation of a signal for a suite of moderately volatile elements (MVEs) during a procedural run.

In this dissertation, I turn to three major pilgrim accounts from fourteenth- and fifteenth-century England (and the nearby continent) in order to explore how these pilgrims situated themselves spatially in order to access times outside their own moment.

For a single load driven by a source through a two-port network, the maximum achievable bandwidth is governed by the Bode-Fano upper bounds, introduced by Bode and Fano in 1940s, on the integral over all frequency of the logarithm of the reflection coefficient of cascaded matching network and load.

  Student Movements and Societal Accountability for Ethnic Reconciliation: Case Studies of the Eastern DR Congo, Burundi and Sri Lanka

summary:
  The biggest contribution of these student organizations as agents of social accountability for ethnic reconciliation in three countries of study is that they engineer new agendas and raise new forms of consciousness about what alternative pathways can be followed by countries experiencing internal ethnic conflicts. In this thesis through analysis of case studies in eastern Congo, Burundi and Sri Lanka, I study the role of student movements as agents of ethnic reconciliation.

  On the Petrogenesis and Distribution of the High-Alumina Mare Basalts: An Integrated Approach Using Geochemical and Remote Sensing Data

summary:
  The second part of the doctoral research used compositional remote sensing data to search the whole Moon for exposures of HA mare basalts, or areas where the regolith consists mainly of material derived from HA basaltic flows. They represent the oldest sampled mare basalts, and the return of HA basalt samples from four locations, separated by 2400 km, implies they may be widespread on the Moon.

  Prefabricated High-Strength Headed Steel Reinforcement with High-Strength Concrete for Accelerated Construction of Shear Walls in Nuclear Structures

summary:
  From an industry survey and full-scale laboratory evaluation, it was found that prefabricated rebar assemblies can reduce on-site construction times of nuclear walls by 70-80% and that the bars engaged in assembly movement are most susceptible to spacing changes exceeding construction tolerances. These experiments demonstrated that: 1) HSR and HSC perform best when combined, providing improved lateral strength and deformation capacity; 2) using HSR with HSC, a wall with significantly reduced provided reinforcement (less than half) can achieve similar peak lateral strength as a state-of-practice wall; 3) state-of-practice methods are effective for the design of reduced volumes of HSR as trim reinforcement around wall web penetrations; 4) squat rectangular walls with increased normalized base moment-to-shear ratio can be susceptible to flexure failure, contrary to current code commentaries; and 5) intersecting end walls can significantly increase the flexural stiffness and flexural strength of squat walls and should be more accurately incorporated in design.

  Ferromagnetic properties are investigated in GaMnAs and GaMnAsP diluted magnetic semiconductors by multiple experimental techniques, including magnetometry, magnetotransport, and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR), with emphasis on magnetic anisotropy and its manipulation by nano-patterning, strain, and interfacial exchange between layers of dissimilar materials. Interestingly, the effects due to nanostructure shape can be remarkably reduced by low-temperature annealing of the nanostructures, which thus provides an approach for controlling magnetic anisotropy on the nano-scale.

summary:

Other proposed hermeneutical centers --called typology (Romans 5:14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-11) and allegory (Galatians 4:21-31)--are determined not to be foundational generative techniques for Paul, but rather post hoc rhetorical tropes describing mimesis between text and world via the apostolic kerygma.

summary:
  In both Christianity and Buddhism, there has long been a conflict between the learned study of doctrine and spiritual practice, or between theology and spirituality. Those who advocate scriptural and theoretical study insist that the nature of the ultimate is effable, and intellectual exercises involving the use of language can be of use to soteriological ends—to union with the divine in Christianity or enlightenment to the ultimate reality in Buddhism.

Previous research has demonstrated that negative attributions are associated with both marital discord and depression, but few studies have explored the role of attributions in the strong relation between marital discord and depression.

  In particular we show how to: 1. synthesize discrete time passive, strictly-input passive, and strictly-output passive systems from their continuous counterparts using a inner-product equivalent sample and hold (IPESH) block (with an optional passive observer), 2. create a data-drop out, and delay tolerant l2-stable digital control network for a continuous passive plant in which: (a) the continuous passive plant can also be subject to various memoryless nonlinearities such as actuator saturation, (b) the digital controller only needs to be run when passive data is received over the wireless network, (c) the entire control network has been simulated on a theoretically validated wireless ring token network, (d) a new 'power junction' is introduced in which multiple plants and controllers can interact while preserving passivity, (e) a new distortion measure is used to evaluate these control networks, 3. determine the capacity, and mean delays of a wireless ring token network. This dissertation shows how to develop wireless networked embedded control systems (wnecs) in which the controller and the plant are isolated and can only interact over a wireless network.

summary:
  As the ultimate tensile strength of this scaffold is lower than that of most tendons and ligaments, a polydiaxanone (PDS) mesh was incorporated into the 20-layer scaffold, which showed an increase in applied load with a decrease in ultimate tensile strength. In conclusion, a nonlinear constitutive model was developed to predict the nonlinear stress-strain response of a 20-layer multilaminate SIS scaffold which can serve as a building block to future development of a load-bearing bioresorbable scaffold.

summary:
  This dissertation has three major aims: (1) obtain a better formula for the optimal tuning parameters in rGLS methods; (2) correct the performance of sandwich-type standard errors to make them closer to empirical standard errors; and (3) improve the Type I error control of corresponding test statistics by rescaling their means to the degrees of freedom of their nominal chi-square distributions. The idea of the empirical modeling approach is to first conduct a simulation study in a wide variety of conditions, and collect parameter estimates/test statistics/standard errors for every condition; then compare these empirical results with their theoretical counterparts (e.g., compare parameter estimates with the population values used in the simulation study, compare sandwich-type standard errors with the empirical ones, and refer test statistics to their nominal chi-square distributions); if these statistics do not perform as expected in this simulation study, the empirical modeling approach can be employed to correct their behavior based on simulation results.

summary:
  This dissertation represents a preliminary, yet essential, step toward both a comprehensive analysis and a critical edition of one of the most important examples of the pseudo-Joachite corpus, a compilation called Super Prophetas—also known as Super Esaiam Prophetam. These pseudo-Joachite works, written by Joachim's various heirs but under his name and often decades after his death, have long remained a mystery: comparatively unstudied, mostly unedited, and without clear analysis of the manuscript tradition behind them.

  Additionally, it is found fluorescent reagents facilitate the induction of GUS in EC; increases in GUS activity per culturable EC cell in marine water is likely due to breakdown of cell wall and release of intracellular enzymes; EC GUS expression in natural waters does not significantly correlate to initial physiochemical water parameters or EC concentrations. Benefits of this research include a better understanding of GUS production in natural waters; a better understanding of GUS expression in typical sensor growing conditions; the characterization of a soluble fluorescent reagent ideal for in-situ optical sensing; the use of an optical sensor for the detection and partial quantification of pathogen indicator organisms.

  'Make This the Place Where Your Glory Dwells': Origins and Evolution of the Byzantine Rite for the Consecration of A Church

summary:
  This feature of the Barberini text raises an important question, namely, which of these major elements did in fact constitute the act of dedicating/ consecrating the church, and what role did the deposition of relics have in the ceremonies of dedication in the early period of Byzantine liturgical history, considering that the deposition of relics became a mandatory element of the dedication rite only after the provisions to that effect were made at the Second council of Nicaea in 787 CE. 336, as well as in the textus receptus of the rite, represents a unique collection of scriptural and euchological texts, together with the ritual actions, intended to set aside the physical space of a public building for liturgical use.

  The N-Terminus of the Yersinia pestis yapV Autotransporter Protein Destabilizes the Entire Passenger Domain In Vitro: Implications for In Vivo Secretion

summary:
  The AT outer membrane (OM) secretion mechanism is deceptively simple, in part because major determinants for AT OM secretion are contained within the AT sequence itself. Here we have characterized a new Yersinia pestis AT protein with which to broaden our current understanding of the connection between AT passenger domain folding and OM secretion.

  Structuring Gig Work: An Investigation of the Relationship between Racial Residential Segregation and Labor Participation in the Gig Economy within U.S. Counties between 2010-2018

summary:
  To investigate this phenomenon, I ask the following question: Does variation in income inequality, unemployment rates, and racial segregation predict variation in the growth of labor participation in the gig economy across U.S. counties from 2010 to 2018. Through a fixed effect panel model, I find that racial residential segregation and income inequality do predict growth in labor participation in the gig economy, but I do not find evidence that unemployment rates predict growth in labor participation in the gig economy.

When $k=1,2,$ and $n$, the necessary condition for the existence of the solutions satisfying the $sigma_k$-Ricci equations is that the codimension of the portion of boundary has to be bounded from above by some constants depending on $n$ and $k$. For other cases, we believe that the similar argument can be developed.

When we attend to the epistemic and practical judgments that real scientists make about their theories, we find them quite naturally and effortlessly adopting complex cognitive attitudes that display an extraordinary richness, nuance, and variety.

  Applying trauma theory in this analysis of CADA's art actions, I argue that these public interventions essentially promoted the development of a social discourse that would mediate between the official 'truth' proposed by General Augusto Pinochet's authoritarian regime and a truth generated from below, from the margins of Chilean culture, from the people, those exposed to hunger, poverty, brutal repression, alienation, and other oppressive realities. This investigation takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of CADA's work, drawing from the literature in the fields of social psychology, sociology, and political science, among others, in order to develop the argument that, as a social movement, CADA's art actions promoted democratization and may have even had a therapeutic effect on those who participated in CADA's collective action project

  While endorsing the liberal-egalitarian premises of standard liberal accounts of cultural rights, it endeavors to provide a mediated defense of cultural rights that supports the legitimate attribution of various rights to minority cultural communities as moral entities possessing some dignity or inherent worth of their own, for various theological and philosophical reasons. It is a constructive theological analysis of the idea of cultural rights, and it attempts to provide a fundamental analytical and normative framework for conceptualizing and evaluating the various types of rights claims made by cultural minorities within contemporary culturally pluralistic political contexts.

For the hyperelastic rod equation, we show that solutions to the periodic initial value problem do not depend uniformly continuously on initial data in Sobolev spaces of index s equal to 1 or s greater than or equal to 2.

Multivariate analysis of variance (MANCOVA) results indicate that while family experience, in the form of the transition to parenthood, appears to impact later values of marital quality variables, initial family structure has an effect on initial starting values which also impact later marital functioning.

Among communities of faith the possibility of providing church sanctuary can become a point of controversy and division rather than unity.

In this dissertation, I argue that paying close attention to whom Plato portrays speaking in the dialogue allows us to distinguish, as Socrates and his interlocutors construct the famous city in speech, the elements of the city Socrates endorses from those, all demanded by Glaucon and Adeimantus, that Socrates does not endorse.

It is a distinctive feature of Hegel's moral and political philosophy that it is characterized as a philosophy of right or law.

summary:

Overall results suggest BPT is effective for reducing maladaptive parenting behaviors and parent-adolescent relation problems.

In this dissertation, the capability of different distributed plasticity numerical models to simulate the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) axial-flexural elements, namely planar walls and square columns, is evaluated based on previous experimental results of isolated wall and column test specimens as a well as a 7-story wall building subassembly.

  Optical Study of Hot-Electron Transport in Iii-V Nitride Semiconductors, and Molecular Beam Epitaxy of Indium Nitride

summary:
  The rate of increase of electron temperature with the external electric field provides a signature of non-equilibrium hot-phonon accumulation. When the chief electron energy loss mechanism is by the emission of LOoptical phonons, a clear signature of a hot-phonon effect is observed, with a hot-phonon lifetime in the 3-4 ps regime.

  Building upon previous work at the University of Notre Dame on oxygen-enhanced non-selective wet thermal oxidation of low Al content III-V compound semiconductor alloys, which has simplified the fabrication of advanced performance diode laser devices, this work has further expanded the application of III-V native oxides in photonic device fabrication and integration while stimulating additional materials related discoveries. The discovery of new materials, the improvement of processing, and the design of new devices are the three engines which boost our modern semiconductor industry.

  The Effect of Concrete Objects on Counting Skill: An Interaction Between Perceptual Features and Established Knowledge

summary:
  Children (M age = 3 yrs, 10 mo) were randomly assigned to counting tasks that used one of four types of objects in a 2 (perceptual richness: high or low) x 2 (established knowledge: high or low) factorial design. Research suggests that perceptually rich objects may hinder children's performance on mathematics tasks relative to bland objects.

summary:
  For such millimeter-wave systems, the bandwidth of individual interconnects is paramount, and the packing densities are far less important. Microelectronics packaging forms the link between the nanometer scale transistors on a chip and the micrometer or millimeter scale interconnects that provide electrical connections between chips and other circuit components.

summary:
  However, despite the excellent performance obtained, the demonstrated devices do not yet exhibit the full advantages of the new gate structure and high mobility channel due to un-optimized device designs. The utilized process also results in self-alignment of the gate metallization and localized oxidation region, thus reducing the access resistance and enabling high RF performance to be obtained.

summary:
  After wood addition, I measured an increase in organic matter standing stocks around the added logs, but no reach-scale responses and no changes in organic matter decomposition. One of the most common restoration activities in streams is to add in-stream structures, such as flow defectors, boulders, wood, and vegetation to stabilize banks, reduce erosion, increase habitat complexity, and retain organic matter.

Extending itself cross-culturally, cross-linguistically, and multi-dimensionally, the three parts of this thesis present several worlds and an understanding of relationships that were born through the writer's experience of living a Third Culture of her own.

  In this thesis, the impact of uniaxial strain on the peak tunneling current density of Esaki tunnel diodes is theoretically calculated, considering strain-induced changes in the bandgap, electron repopulation among different valleys (only for multi-valley conduction band minimum) and the reduced mass along the tunneling directions. From the theoretical calculation, it is found that uniaxial stress can be used to improve peak tunneling current density of Esaki tunnel diodes and the optimum directions for current and uniaxial stress are identified to achieve the largest increase in peak tunneling current for a given magnitude of uniaxial stress.

  Development of a Vinylogous Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons Reagent: Syntheses of Siloxy Dienes, Aryl Amines and Medicinally Active Compounds

summary:
  We have developed an efficient synthesis of 1-a-13, which allowed us to provide gram quantities of this pyrrolinone to our collaborators for biological evaluation as a Niemann-Pick type C disease (NP-C) therapeutic. Additionally we have used an analogous step-wise version of this synthesis to prepare trichostatin A.

  Furthermore, a narrow-spectrum antibiotic synthesized within our lab showed increased worm survival against a multidrug resistant A. baumannii strain; tested at 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, worm survival was 22% and 32% after a six-day study, respectively. Against colistin sensitive bacteria, a 2-aminoimidazole adjuvant enabled a 1000-fold reduction in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of colistin in vitro when tested at a concentration of 30 µM and at 15 µM, it reduced the colistin MIC against three colistin sensitive, multidrug resistant Acinteobacter baumannii strains from 1000 to 7.8, 3.9, and 3.9 ng/mL. In an additional study, an indole derived lead adjuvant increased colistin efficacy 32-fold against a colistin resistant bacteria strain containing the mcr-1 gene at 5 µM, and effects a 1024-fold increase in colistin efficacy against bacteria harboring chromosomally encoded colistin resistance determinants; these combinations lowered the colistin MIC to levels at or below clinical breakpoint levels for colistin susceptibility (≤2 µg/mL).In addition to in vitro studies, the wax worm Galleria mellonella provides an in vivo model that provides an alternative to expensive and ethically challenged murine models.

  Peptide bond cleavage induced by DEA clearly demonstrates bond selectivity, which is susceptible when the LEE energy falls between 5to 8 eV. Resonance states responsible for the cleavage are found by my stabilization calculations which show that an anti-bonding force is exerted on the peptide bond by the attached electron through forming a π* type orbital around this bond. This experimental procedure can be extended to investigate more radicals resulting from DEA processes.

summary:
  Part Two (Chapters Four and Five) defines and applies literary edition as the mode of transmission responsible for the two Hebrew forms of 35-40: OG Exodus attests a Hebrew text that is prior to, and the basis of, subsequent editions of Exodus represented by MT and SP and thus closer to, and more reliable evidence for, the formation of the Pentateuch and its precursors (Chapter Six). Now, in light of similar cases of pluriform textual transmission documented among the Dead Sea Scrolls, textual critics claim that the Greek text of Exodus is a single translation representing its Hebrew Vorlage to a high degree of detail.
