▼ Ambient ionization methods allow the ionization of untreated samples in the open environment. In this dissertation, two different ambient ionization techniques, desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and probe electrospray ionization (PESI), has been developed and coupled with liquid chromatograph (LC) and electrochemistry (EC) and their analytical applications have been explored and discussed. Liquid sample DESI generally employs a DESI probe to spray solvent with high voltage to ionize sample as the sample solution is delivered to the ion source by a piece of fused silica transfer capillary. A new splitting interface, a PEEK capillary tube with a micro-orifice drilled in the capillary wall, was used to connect with LC column for applying DESI ionization. A small portion of LC eluent emerging from the orifice can be directly ionized by DESI with negligible time delay while the remaining analytes can be online collected. Furthermore, online derivatization using reactive DESI is possible for additional application such as supercharging proteins. Since splitting via an orifice introduces negligible dead volume and back pressure, the performance of the LC/DESI-MS with the focus of using ultra-fast LC for analyzing sample was further evaluated. Using a monolithic C18 column, metabolites in urine can be separated within 1.6 min, online monitored by DESI and collected as purified samples. Negative ions can be directly generated for acidic analytes in acidic LC eluent by DESI during the LC/MS analysis process using a spray solvent with alkaline pH. In addition, DESI-MS is found to be compatible with ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) for the first time. The 45 s separation of drugs can be achieved via UPLC/DESI-MS under high temperature. The combination with EC further broadens LC/MS applications. UPLC-MS combined with EC via DESI was first developed for the structural analysis of proteins/peptides that contain disulfide bonds. Using this combined UPLC/EC/DESI-MS method, peptides containing disulfide bonds can be differentiated from those without disulfide bonds, as the former are electroactive and reducible. MS/MS analysis of disulfide-reduced peptide ions provides increased information about the peptide sequence and disulfide-linkage pattern. In addition, upon online electrolytic reduction and reactive DESI, supercharged proteins showed increased charges distribution which is of value for MS/MS sequencing application.PESI, another ambient ionization technique, employs a conductive solid probe to ionize samples directly on the probe tip with the aid of applied high voltage. Due to the high salt tolerance of PESI, the detection of electrochemical reaction products in room-temperature ionic liquids is realized, for the first time. Furthermore, PESI-MS allows the detection the electrochemical reaction products on different or multiple electrode surfaces. In addition, peptides and proteins fractionated through isoelectric focusing (IEF) can also be directly analyzed by PESI-MS. Advisors/Committee Members: Chen, Hao (Advisor).

▼ H2S localized corrosion, occurring at discrete sites on a steel surface, can result in fast penetration of pipeline walls and loss of containment. This mode of metal attack is generally considered to be the main cause for catastrophic corrosion failures of facilities in the oil and gas industry. Hence, the prediction and control of H2S localized corrosion is a significant challenge for assuring asset integrity in oil and gas fields containing H2S. The purpose of this dissertation project is to explore, heretofore poorly understood, localized corrosion mechanisms related to the formation of iron sulfide polymorphs and related phases.In order to make this investigation possible, a thermodynamic model was initially developed as a tool to determine experimental conditions that could potentially replicate localized corrosion associated with iron sulfide polymorphism in an aqueous H2S system. Equilibrium expressions for H2S solubility and dissociation constants were reviewed and compared. Models to predict water chemistry of an H2S-H2O system were built and verified against experimental measurements. In order to predict the formation and dissolution of iron sulfides, their solubility limits were experimentally measured in an H2S-H2O-Fe2+ system. At 25 °C, the measured pKsp,2 values were observed to change with time as the identity of the observed iron sulfide type changed. The pKsp,2 of mackinawite at 25 °C was measured as 3.6 ± 0.2. Pyrite and greigite were observed at 60 °C. Greigite was dominant around pH 5 with a pKsp,2 9.8 ± 0.5, while pyrite was dominant around pH 3.5 with pKsp,2 6.5 ± 0.5.The electrochemical thermodynamics of an H2S-H2O-Fe system were then investigated, with iron sulfides selected in relation to the oil and gas industry. Mackinawite, pyrrhotite, greigite, and pyrite were taken into consideration for Pourbaix diagram generation, accompanied by a complete accounting of all the assumptions, underlying thermodynamic data, and reaction mechanisms. Generated Pourbaix diagrams were validated by long-term experiments at different temperatures (25 °C and 80 °C) and by adjusting solution pH. Following the establishment of the thermodynamic model, experimental conditions leading to the formation of different iron sulfides as corrosion products in a sour environment were established. A strong correlation between the formation of greigite and/or pyrite on a steel surface and onset of localized corrosion was observed. Localized corrosion was absent when neither greigite nor pyrite formed. Consequently, the formation of greigite and/or pyrite was hypothesized to play an important role in the initiation of localized corrosion. Novel experiments involving deposition of pyrite on the steel surface were then designed and conducted. It was found that the galvanic coupling between pyrite particles and steel is the dominant mechanism for this type of localized corrosion.Finally, a descriptive model was built to answer when, where, and how this type of localized corrosion occurs in a sour environment. This model can provide… Advisors/Committee Members: Nesic, Srdjan (Advisor).

▼ Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES) programs in the United States are not flourishing, nor are their middle- and high-school counterparts. The current global recession has imposed marginal decreases on school funding and has thus influenced curriculum decisions to cut back on such perceived frills as foreign language (FL) instruction. Since FL is not part of high-stakes testing, it remains as an extra on the periphery of curriculum, no matter how crucial it might be culturally, intellectually, and perhaps therefore politically and economically. Kindergarten through twelfth grade administrators appear to be in a unique position to shed light on the American foreign language dilemma, as they are in trenches daily with students and teachers and are involved in curriculum and policy decisions.A survey instrument was sent to all of the public school elementary principals in Ohio. Surveys were successfully delivered to 1427 principals. Although 103 survey responses were received, only 95 were complete and used for data analysis, resulting in a 6.66% response rate. The first step in examining the data involved calculating descriptive statistics for each item in the instrument. Next, a regression analysis was used to determine if there was a relationship between the independent variables (personal and contextual) and the dependent variable, principals’ attitudes toward FLES. The regression analysis included nine independent and covariate variables. They are the value of FL and the importance of FL when compared against the covariates of gender, ethnicity, number of years as a principal, number of years as a teacher, the participants’ status as being bilingual or multilingual, the number of FLs studied by the participants, and whether the participants’ schools have a FLES program. The study’s findings indicated that Ohio elementary principals do perceive FLES programs favorably. None of the demographic information individually proved to be important to the perception of FLES programs. Attitude regarding FL proved to be significant in the findings. The two influencing factors that contributed to the manner that the participating principals expressed positivity toward FLES programming pertained to the manner that they valued FL and their perceptions of the importance of FL.

▼ This study investigated the strategy of embedded questions in educational interactive videos. The educational videos were created and used in two versions: Video with Embedded Questions (VEQ), and Linear Video – a video without Embedded Questions (LV). Video was used as a medium to test the effectiveness of embedded questions strategy. The LV version provided the ability to control the timeline of instructions, whereas VEQ provided the ability to control the timeline of instruction and to interact with embedded questions. Both versions have covered two main topics: battery life reservation, and presentation skills. The VEQ had an embedded multiple-choice questioning system that shows a question up on an over-layered screen, with each of the three answers providing a specific scene as a confirmation feedback whether it is a wrong or correct answer. The dependent variables were comprehension and self-efficacy. Comprehension was measured by assessment scores, and self-efficacy was measured by average percentage from each item in the assessment. The independent variable was having embedded questions system. The methodology was a sequential explanatory approach; a quantitative experiment supported by a qualitative focus group interview. The experimental approach involved dividing the participants (60 graduate students) into a control group exposed to LV version, and an experimental group exposed to VEQ version, and testing them all via assessment designed to measure their comprehension. The findings and discussion are based on theoretical framework of learner control, self-efficacy, and instructional design of VEQ. The results showed a significant difference in terms of assessment average scores and self-efficacy for the favor of embedded questions. Effect sizes were found to be relevant to the usage of embedded questions and levels of self-efficacy; they were irrelevant to the topic of video or participant’s gender. The effect size of embedded questions over assessment scores was 0.916 and over self-efficacy was 1.24. Participant’s gender, however, showed no significant difference in ANOVA test. The embedded questions system had an effect size of 0.13 for presentation skills topic, and 0.12 for battery life topic. Explanation of the results along with technical and instructional recommendations for future research are included in the last chapter, summarizing that embedded questions helped participants to raise self-efficacy and gain more confidence, enhance existing knowledge with new information, rehearse memory, and achieve better learning outcome.

▼ The Deuterium-Deuteron (DD) reaction has been used as a neutron source to study the transport of neutrons in natural iron. The scattering targets are used in the form of spheres and the neutron transmission measurement has been done at 7-MeV incident deuteron beam energy. The purpose of this study is to test the elastic and non-elastic neutron scattering cross sections for iron in the ENDF/B-VII data library, as some indications about the inaccuracy of those cross sections have been found from previous studies. The experiment has been carried out using the 4.5-MV tandem accelerator at Edwards Accelerator Laboratory at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio.The DD source reaction has been measured at 5- and 7-MeV deuteron beam energy. The D(d,n) sup>3He monoenergetic reaction cross section has been measured from 0°to 135° at both 5- and 7-MeV beam energy and the D(d,np)D breakup reaction cross section has been measured up to 60° laboratory angles at 7-MeV beam energy. The target used is a deuterium gas cell of 3-cm length at approximately 2 atmosphere absolute pressure. The neutron energy is determined using the time of flight method. A NE213 liquid scintillation detector is used for neutron detection and the thick-target ²⁷Al(d,n) reaction is used for the determination of neutron detector efficiency. The monoenergetic reaction cross section has been found to be in reasonable agreement with previous evaluations.The neutron transmission studies through iron spheres is done using two natural iron spheres with thicknesses of 3 and 8 cm. The DD source measurement (sphere-off) were repeated for the transmission studies and the neutron source was covered with the spheres for the transmission measurements. The experimental transmitted neutron spectrum is compared with the calculation done using Monte Carlo simulation code MCNP6.1 developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory. MCNP uses ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluated iron cross section for the simulation. The calculated and experimental neutron spectrum in time of flight has been compared at various laboratory angles from 0° to 150°.The calculated and experimental neutron time of flight spectra for neutron counts under the main peak (D(d,n)³He peak region) agree within the error bars for angles 90°, 135° and 150° for larger sphere (8-cm thickness) whereas they agree for all angles 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 90°, 135° and 150° for smaller sphere (3-cm thickness). However, the calculated and experimental neutron spectra show a difference of 12%, 11.80%, 16.85% and 19.67% in the main peak neutron counts for larger sphere at angles 0°, 15°, 30° and 45° respectively which can not be accounted for by the systematic uncertainty in our measurement (the 5% uncertainty in the target thickness and the 5% efficiency systematics are the main contributors). The sphere-off to on ratios for the calculation and the experiment also show a significant difference at those angles and this comparison is more robust as it avoids most of the systematic uncertainties including the efficiency.

▼ The technological advantages of III-nitride semiconductors (III-Ns) have been demonstrated among others in the area of light emitting applications. Due to fundamental reasons limiting growth of InGaN with high Indium content, rare earth (RE) doped III-Ns provide an alternative way to achieve monolithic red, green, blue (RGB) emitters on the same III-Ns host material. However, the excitation efficiency of RE³⁺ ions in III-Ns is still insufficient due to the complexity of energy transfer processes involved. In this work, we consider the current understanding of the excitation mechanisms of RE³⁺ ions doped III-Ns, specifically Yb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions, and theories toward the excitation mechanism involving RE induced defects. In particular, we demonstrate and emphasize that the RE induced structural isovalent (RESI) trap model can be applied to explain the excitation mechanism of III-Ns:RE³⁺. Specifically, we have investigated the Yb³⁺ ion doped into III-Ns hosts having different morphologies. The observed emission peaks of Yb³⁺ ion were analyzed and fitted with theoretical calculations. The study of Yb³⁺ ion doped In_xGa_1-xN nano-rod films with varied indium (In) concentration shown the improvement of luminescence quality from the nanorod due to the presence of Yb dopant. Then we report the optical spectroscopy and DLTS study toward an Eu and Si co-doped GaN and its control counterpart. The Laplace-DLTS and optical-DLTS system developed in this work improved spectrum resolution compared to the conventional DLTS. The high resolution L-DLTS revealed at least four closely spaced defect levels associated with the Trap B, identified with regular DLTS, with activation energy 0.259±0.032 eV (Trap B1), 0.253±0.020 eV (Trap B2), 0.257±0.017 eV (Trap B3), and 0.268±0.025 eV (Trap B4) below the conduction band edge, respectively. Most importantly, a shallow hole trap was observed at energy 30±20 meV above the valence band edge of the GaN:Si,Eu³⁺ which can be attributed to the RESI hole trap. Furthermore, a study on the Eu³⁺ ion implanted In_0.06Ga_0.94N/GaN superlattices (SLs) is reported to illustrate the plausible way of improving the excitation efficiency of Eu³⁺ ion via material engineering. It was concluded that the presence of Eu³⁺ ion in SLs induces an additional compressive stress component modifying the piezoelectric field in SLs active layer giving rise to an extra freedom in material engineering process for efficient energy transfer from the SLs to the Eu³⁺ ion.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine what impact the community college Completion Agenda has had on co-curricular education, which was defined as any learning that takes place outside of the classroom. The Completion Agenda followed in the wake of the Great Recession and became a national agenda around 2010-2011. The Completion Agenda's primary goal has been to get more students to complete a degree or certificate with workforce value.Considering the Completion Agenda's widespread reach, this study began with the assumption that community college student affairs has been altered by the Completion Agenda in some way. Student affairs and co-curricular education, in particular, already occupied a tenuous place within community college due to the population it serves. This study used a neoliberal framework to better understand howthe politics of higher education impact practice.By using a phenomenological methodology, this study described common experiences of community college student affairs educators at the onset of the Completion Agenda and what circumstances brought those experience about. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and document analysis, I was able to analyze how external forces have impacted co-curricular education, as well as how co-curriculareducators' professional values aligned with institutional and cultural expectations.Major themes included: (1) participants being on message for their institution and the Completion Agenda as a whole, (2) acute attention paid to the work of academic affairs as it relates to student affairs, (3) the growing lack of distinction between student affairs and student success, and (4) the fact that co-curricular education and student development occupies a minor place in each Campus Completion Plan. Conclusions from this research were: student affairs educators have accepted the Completion Agenda as a reality and have conformed to it; the Completion Agenda has affected the work of student affairs educators, and they have responded accordingly; and in the current context there is an even greater need for data informed decision-making and administrative support.

▼ Continental Africa has been proposed to play a significant role in the evolution and distributional patterns of continental faunas during the tectonically active Cretaceous Period. Yet, the African continental fossil record pales in comparison to other Gondwanan landmasses (e.g. South America) for providing ample evidence to inform faunal patterns and paleobiogeographical scenarios. Reflecting this unevenness, the globally successful titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs are underrepresented in the African fossil record with a handful of named and fragmentary forms known mostly from the middle Cretaceous (Aptian–Cenomanian). New research in sub-Saharan Africa is providing critical information regarding titanosaurian diversification within the middle and Late Cretaceous and characterizing African faunas more generally. The re-evaluation of specimens from the Aptian Dinosaur Beds of Malawi reveals that materials historically associated with Malawisaurus dixeyi represents at least two distinct morphs with affinities to coeval South American forms. Further, several new specimens from the geographically proximate middle Cretaceous Galula Formation of Tanzania are distinct from the Malawi forms, suggesting higher diversity for sub-Saharan African faunas than previously apreciated. A specimen from the Mtuka Member of the Galula Formation represents one of the most complete early titanosaurian skeletons known, whereas another specimen from the Namba Member has affinities with Late Cetaceous aeolosaurian titanosaurians known from South America. Finally, titanosaurian materials from the Maastrichtian Lapurr Sandstones of Kenya and Campanian Quseir Formation of Egypt provide valuable insight for characterizing the largely unknown terminal Cretaceous African fauna. The new Kenyan form has close affinities with Late Cretaceous South American saltasaurian titanosaurians and additional caudal vertebral specimens indicate the presence of several distinct and gigantic forms that may include a non-titanosaurian sauropod—a first for this time interval globally. However, the Egyptian form appears to be closely related to Laurasian forms, supporting the interpretation of a trans-Tethys province. The diversity of African titanosaurian evolutionary history broadly paralleled that in South America during the Cretaceous but with the development of a progressively isolated sub-Saharan region concurrent with the tectonics-driven separation of the two landmasses until the Late Cretaceous when the fauna included remanent early- branching lineages not present elsewhere worldwide.

▼ Shigella is a genus of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria that causes shigellosis, a severe form of bacillary dysentery in human with an infectious dose of less than 100 cells. The global burden of shigellosis is estimated to be no less than 125 million infections, with the majority of both infection and resulting deaths occurring in children under the age of five. These facts, in combination with the lack of a vaccine or universally effective treatment makes understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of Shigella of utmost importance. To survive and successfully colonize in the host, bacterial pathogens regulate the expression of multiple virulence-associated factors in response to the changes of environmental cues. This study focused on two of the important virulence-associated processes in the infections of S. dysenteriae, the most virulent species in the genus of Shigella: 1) acquisition of essential nutritional iron via the Shigella heme uptake (Shu) system from the iron-limited environment within the human host, and 2) secretion of effector proteins required for the invasion processes through the type III secretion system (T3SS). Investigations presented here identify the host-associated environmental factors that regulate the expression of the specific factors required to complete the processes listed above, and characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying each regulation. Specifically, studies focused on the regulation of the Shu system demonstrate that its periplasmic binding component, ShuT, is subject to iron-dependent transcriptional regulation via the activity of the global transcriptional regulator Fur, and temperature-dependent post-transcriptionally mediated by an RNA thermometer located within the 5' untranslated region of the gene. Studies focused on the regulation of MxiG, a component of the T3SS, identify and characterize a functional RNA thermometer that mediates post-transcriptional temperature-dependent regulation. Findings in this study provide: 1) a unique example of Fur-mediated regulation via interacting with a sequence located downstream of the promoter region, and 1) the first evidence of RNA thermometer controlling expression of T3SS component. These findings could lead to revealing of further details about the molecular mechanisms of each regulatory system, and also contribute to the knowledge pool required in designing new strategies of defending against bacterial infections.

▼ Women continue to be underrepresented in the nontraditional careers. With areas of cosmetology, health sciences, education and child care being the dominate female careers; there is limited female representation in welding, carpentry, plumbing/pipefitting, electrical and other traditional male careers. Due to facing social barriers and developing an understanding of skill measurement among peers by the age of adolescence, individuals will disregard career options that may be viable for the future based on limited exposure and inaccurate facts. In addition, as students become aware of their own interests and abilities career preferences begin to emerge. Choices tend to be toward jobs in which students find accessible and in which there is a familiarity.The process of self-selection and differentiated task-specific beliefs among students occurs as early as elementary school. Researchers have gathered data to bring awareness that gender stereotyping occurs within the elementary setting and students are already self-selecting careers based upon those stereotypes at young ages. By the age of adolescence, the experiences students have had within the school setting, within the home, and through experiences or lack thereof, can already determine the career path for an individual. Due to females being strongly influenced by their setting and the expected gender roles they are to play, understanding the research is critical for the recruitment and retention of women within a nontraditional work setting. Recruitment and early exposure can start at earlier ages by providing job shadowing and mentoring early in the educational life of a child. By researching ways to improve the recruitment and retention of females into nontraditional occupations, tremendous financial opportunities could be available to women who may never have considered the skill sets and talent they have as being viable.This qualitative study uses a series of three interviews with selected participants in order to help identify a shared phenomenon; a phenomenological study. Participants met on three separate occasions to participate in the interview process. All women interviewed live in the southeastern portion of Ohio, are currently working or have worked in a nontraditional career field, and have had to overcome adversity in order to maintain a successful career.Results from the study have identified the importance of mentorships at an early age that range beyond family background knowledge but depend more upon someone who provides opportunity for exposure to a profession in which the female may not have considered.

▼ Critical thinking for profoundly gifted students in a blended learning environment is an area of research that has not been thoroughly explored. While the number of online and blended learning classrooms for gifted students has increased exponentially over the last decade, the scholarly literature in this area is limited, both by the small number of studies being done with gifted students and the limited research on higher order thinking in online blended learning environments.This research used a holistic single case study method to examine critical thinking in the online component of a blended learning environment using the Newman et al. critical thinking content analysis model as a theoretical framework. It is noted here that the categories of Newman’s model are listed in italic bold throughout the dissertation in contradiction to APA style. The case study design was appropriate because it allowed the researcher to examine the phenomena of critical thinking taking place in various learning strategies using common asynchronous writing tools, through the lens of profoundly gifted high-school students.Online tools (discussion forums, blogs, Google Docs) did not seem to influence critical thinking in this case study. The data within all three tools (discussion forums, blogs and Google Docs) showed that justification, linking ideas, ambiguities, and outside knowledge were the strongest areas of critical thought. The data examining online strategies (structured, scaffolded, open-ended, debate/argument, role play, peer edits, and literary criticism) also showed that students were most comfortable using justification, linking ideas, ambiguities, and outside knowledge in their writing. It is unclear how much of an impact the lack of teacher presence and social presence had on tools and strategies implemented in this study. However, the poststudy responses from the instructor and students seem to support Garrison's theory of Community of Inquiry in supporting critical thinking in a blended learning environment. While technology such as learning management systems, discussion forums, blogs, and online document editing may provide essential tools for blended learning classrooms, tools and strategies may not be enough to promote critical thinking across a broad model like the Newman et al. model of critical thinking. Further research should examine how online tools and strategies affect critical thinking when discourse is supported by the instructor and students are consistently providing each other with feedback within a Community of Inquiry model.

▼ Colonoscopy is the most common procedure to detect and diagnose colon diseases, such as colorectal cancer. However, endoscopists are occasionally unable to reach some areas in the colon to thoroughly examine the colon, especially the cecum. The significance of the distal tip extension mechanism (DTEM) arises when the insertion tube of the colonoscope is no longer able to move further inside the colon and when a longer insertion tube is needed. The main focus of this research is to investigate the development of a novel distal tip extension mechanism (DTEM). To characterize the performance of the DTEM, the ability of the DTEM to extend the distal tip of the colonoscope 16 cm is investigated. To determine the maximum number of turns that the extension knob needs to make in order to move the distal tip 16 cm, the DTEM is used to displace the distal tip in different colon configurations using the silicon tube of colonoscopy training model (CTM). To measure the effective of implanting the DTEM in the colonoscope on the flexibility of the insertion tube, a compliance test is performed. To find the bending radius and bending angle at which the DTEM fails to extend the distal tip 16 cm, bending tests are conducted. The DTEM could enable colonoscopists to reach spots in the colon within a 16 cm limit where regular colonoscopes usually fail. The experimentally collected data was presented and discussed to characterize the performance of the DTEM. The results showed that the DTEM is able to extend the distal tip 16 cm while the colon is in various configurations. Additionally, the impact of implanting the DTEM on the flexibility of the insertion tube was determined. The bending radius and the bending angle at which the DTEM was not able to move the distal tip 16 cm were pinpointed. The results of this research suggest that the DTEM will be an effective tool to help colonoscopists performing better colonoscopy. Furthermore, it will increase the completeness rate of colonoscopy.

▼ Inhibiting Interleukin (IL)-6, a cytokine associated with inflammation, is an established therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases. In this study, we probe the hypothesis that two novel small organic compounds inhibit Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-a) and Interferon-gamma (IFN-¿)-induced IL-6 expression in an undifferentiated human monocytic cell line (THP-1) and freshly isolated monocytes from human peripheral blood. TC₅₀, IC₅₀, and TI values are determined. TC₅₀ is the compound concentration at which the metabolic signal is decreased by 50% relative to carrier (DMSO) control treated cells. IC50 value is the compound concentration at which IL-6 production is inhibited by 50% relative to carrier control treated cells. Therapeutic index (TI) is the TC₅₀ value divided by the IC₅₀ value.The combination of TNF-a and IFN-¿ induced IL-6 expression in undifferentiated THP-1 cells. The compounds inhibited the cytokine-induced IL-6 expression at both the gene and the protein levels. The IC₅₀ values for the first compound were 9.4 µM at the gene expression level and 5.8 µM at the protein expression level for 24-hour TNF-a and IFN-¿-induced IL-6 in undifferentiated THP-1 cells. The IC₅₀ values for the second compound were 13.6 µM at the gene expression level and 10.5 µM at the protein expression level. The TC₅₀ values were 79.8 µM and 312.2 µM respectively for undifferentiated THP-1 cells treated for 24 hours with the first compound and the second compound respectively. The TI values for the first compound were 8.5 at the gene expression level and 13.8 at the protein expression level for 24-hour TNF-a and IFN-¿- induced IL-6 in undifferentiated THP-1 cells. The TI values for the second compound were 23.0 at the gene expression level and 29.7 at the protein expression level. The combination of TNF-a and IFN-¿ does not appear to induce IL-6 proteinexpression in freshly isolated monocytes from human peripheral blood. Flow cytometric analysis suggested that freshly isolated monocytes express little, if any, TNF receptor 1, TNF receptor 2, and perhaps a small amount of IFN-¿ receptor. However, due to the high signal of IgG2a isotype control binding to the monocytes, it is difficult to draw a firm conclusion regarding the expression of these receptors.In conclusion, this study provides evidence that two novel small organic compounds inhibit TNF-a and IFN-¿-induced IL-6 expression at both the gene and protein levels in undifferentiated THP-1 cells.

▼ Rhetoric and composition histories have given considerable attention to first-year composition in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. However, they have primarily limited their attention to current-traditional rhetoric’s manifestations — especially its over-focus on superficial correctness. They have failed to give any significant attention to the writing assignments central to composition classes. To address this gap, this dissertation examines the history of composition instruction in the United States through the lens of writing assignment genres. I argue that such an examination can reshape our understanding of our field’s history and is significant for understanding the role and history of many writing assignments still in use today, which might influence current teaching and future developments in our discipline and our classrooms. Focusing on assignments, I utilize genre theory as a theoretical lens in analyzing and understanding their role and historical development. Examining and revising composition history through the lens of what I call a “theme system” and genre theory complicates the field’s conception of the period’s current-traditional focus and can inform our understanding of current pedagogical practices that have roots in the theme system.In making my argument, I first trace the history and development of theme writing from its roots in classical rhetoric and sixteenth-century English education to its forms when first-year composition was instituted at Harvard in 1885. I then examine how the spread and development of first-year composition, characterized by a theme writing approach, can be seen as the spread and development of an assignment genre system: the theme system. Following this, I reexamine the design of Harvard’s influential English A, focusing on the role and purpose of the course’s writing assignments. Finally, comparing the writing assignments in three popular current composition textbooks to assignments of the early twentieth century, I establish that despite a widespread condemnation and dismissing of current-traditional writing pedagogy of the beginning of the twentieth century, many current writing assignments are rooted in the assignments of the theme system.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the nexus of video games, mobile devices, and augmented reality in an educational light. This is accomplished in part by studying the self-reported demographics, attitudes, habits, and motivations of players of Google’s commercial augmented reality mobile game Ingress. An application of a review of the literature informs how games like Ingress can be leveraged for educational means. Presented is a review of relevant literature, including the historical development of the nature of play and learning, the history and educational usage of massively multiplayer online games and simulations, the use of mobile devices in games and learning, how augmented reality is developing and being used in educational and noneducational settings, and what effects playing video games may have on the player, including problematic gameplay and addiction, gendered concerns, aggressive thoughts and actions, and physical changes identified in gamers or promoted using games. Also included is an examination of a theoretical framework of discovery learning that ties instructional design, learning, and games to Ingress.Data is gathered with an online survey of Ingress players worldwide. A total of 2,276 cases from 59 countries were analyzed. The instrument used has been modified from an original aimed at other massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). The results presented here showed significant demographic and motivational differences between players and between games. Principle component and multiple regression analyses revealed a number of components that describe the motivations of players and related predictors. By comparing these components to scores on an addiction scale, self-reports on interpersonal skills and learning items, valid and reliable predictors emerged. The components identified differ from those found when surveying players of other massively multiplayer online games. Reliable scales for components, an addiction measure, an interpersonal skill measure, and a learning measure were identified. Implications for future studies and research in the field are provided, as well as suggestions for the use of Ingress and other commercial ARGs within the realm of education. Advisors/Committee Members: Franklin, Teresa (Advisor).
