▼ The purpose of the current study was to investigate the prevalence and impact of personal victimization and witnessing violence in the school setting in a sample of low-income, ethnic-minority children. In addition, hope was examined as a potential protective factor in buffing youth from the development of problem behaviors in the context of school-specific violence. It was hypothesized that exposure to school violence would be positively associated with externalizing symptoms. Additionally, it was hypothesized that hope would be positively related to indices of adjustment, and inversely related to problem behaviors. Finally, exploratory questions suggested by extant research were posed further investigating associations between exposure to school violence and adjustment. Additionally, the moderating effects of hope and gender on the linkages between exposure to school violence and psychological and behavioral functioning were examined. Data were derived from a longitudinal primary prevention research project evaluating the impact of a social and emotional learning curriculum. Participants were approximately 161 African-American and Latino fifth graders. Students completed self-reports of self-concept and hope. Teachers completed a teacher-rated survey assessing levels of problem behaviors, social skills, and academic competence for each student in their class. Results indicated that the majority of youth had been personally victimized and witnessed violence on one or more occasion during a three-month period. In addition, exposure to school violence was positively associated with problem behaviors, and negatively associated with social skills, self-concept, and academic competence, most notably for males. Moreover, hope provided a buffering effect on females' self-concept for those witnessing higher levels of school violence. Implications of both the prevalence and impact of exposure to school violence, as well as the limited moderating effects of hope found in the current study are discussed in relation to intervention efforts and strengthening future research sampling low-income, ethnic-minority youth.

▼ There are many factors that can affect the rate of drug release from an extended-release formulation, such pH of the gastrointestinal tract and dietary intake [1]. However, there is on going concern that alcohol could also greatly affect the release rate of extended-release products. It has recently come to the FDA's attention that some extended-release oral dosage forms are comprised of drugs and/or excipients that exhibit higher solubility in ethanolic solutions than compared to water. Because of this, it can be expected that more rapid drug dissolution may occur when a patient simultaneously consumes alcohol with an extended-release product that is highly soluble in ethanol. This could potentially cause a large dose of the drug to be released at once instead of the slow steady release that was intended, posing a potential health risk to the patient [2]. Currently, there is a strong need to look at the potential of alcohol altering the drug release profile of controlled-release products. A large concern of the FDA is if there are alcohol sensitive extended-release products currently on the market. The goal of this research was to study the affect ethanol has on the release profile of four different types of extended-release formulations. Dissolution testing was conducted on the different dosage forms without ethanol to serve as the control and with various levels of ethanol to determine if the ethanol had an effect on drug release. Dissolution testing was used for the testing because of its ability to provide insight into an oral drug product's characterization and its in vivo performance [3]. High performance liquid chromatography was used as the means of analysis to determine such release rates. The affect of ethanol on the drug release profiles of Palladone® XL Capsules, Detrol® LA Capsules, Cystrin® CR Tablets and Concerta® Tablets has been studied. The drug release profiles for all the formulations were altered by the presence of ethanol in the dissolution media, especially for the Palladone® XL Capsule formulation. The extended-release function of these melt-extrusion pellets was diminished with the smallest amount of ethanol present.

▼ Most of the high temperature resistant composites are made using ceramic matrices. Typically these composites are processed at temperatures higher than the operating temperatures. The results presented in this thesis focus on the development of an inorganic matrix composite that can be processed at temperatures ranging from 80 to 400° C and can withstand temperatures up to 1500° C. The composites can be fabricated using inexpensive mold-cast techniques or vacuum bagging techniques. Short discrete fibers can be incorporated in the matrix to improve mechanical properties. The composite is a two component system consisting of: potassium/sodium silicate solution and a powder component containing; silica, alumina, fillers, fibers, flow enhancing additives and activators. The major parameters evaluated in this dissertation are: (i) influence of fiber type and fiber content, (ii) matrix composition in terms of silica/alumina ratio, (iii) fabrication techniques, (iv) influence of curing temperature and (v) influence of exposure to temperatures varying from 200 to 1500° C. The response variables were: the integrity of the samples after high temperature exposure and the mechanical property of the composite. The fiber types consisted of: economical bulk alumina fibers, alumina fibers in paper form and uniform-short alumina fibers. The fiber content varied from 4 to 13 percent by weight of total matrix. Silica to alumina ratios were varied from 1 to 5. Fabrication techniques investigated include: compression molding using wetted alumina fiber papers and simple casting using a mold and vacuum bagging technique. The major findings are as follows: • Both mold-casting and vacuum bagging techniques can be effectively used for fabrication •Optimum curing temperature is 400° C •For composites with bulk-economical alumina fibers the maximum flexural strength is 65 Mpa and the maximum flexural modulus is 52 GPa •These values can be increased to 130 MPa and 85 GPa by using high quality fibers •The densities for composites with short fibers range from 2000 to 2800 kg/m3 •Typically higher density leads to higher strengths Advisors/Committee Members: Balaguru, Perumal (chair), Maher, Ali (internal member), Najm, Husamuddin (internal member).

▼ A system for DNA quantification is demonstrated utilizing matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and a molecular affinity system. MALDI-TOF MS can detect nucleic acids in milliseconds with high resolution, which allows for a high throughput sample analysis. The resulting mass spectra can produce more accurate results than conventional methods based on gel electrophoresis especially when secondary structures exist in the sample DNA molecules. Secondary DNA structures can lead to incomplete separation in the gel and reduce the accuracy in DNA sequence determination. MALDI-TOF MS measures the intrinsic property of DNA mass, and thus allows unambiguous detection of DNA fragments. MALDI TOF MS can be further facilitated by molecular affinity systems such as biotin-streptavidin as they increase the accuracy and throughput of MS. Our approach is based on SPC-SBE, a previously developed method for high throughput genotyping employing molecular affinity, and involves optimization in both sample preparation and MALDI-TOF MS spectral analysis by signal processing. Creating small sample spots with a stainless steel needle to reduce sample crystal heterogeneity improved the DNA quantification system. To further reduce the impact of salt adduct peaks, signal-processing techniques were used for better signal separation. A basic signal processing technique involved ensemble average and ensemble standard deviations of spectra. Ensemble averaging is a simple and powerful signal processing technique to reduce noise. Additionally, the microbead pipette tip device was tested as a new method to rapidly isolate biotinylated DNA fragments and increase throughput of the molecular affinity system. We demonstrate our method provides high quantification accuracy, and therefore can be efficiently used for the application of rapid high-throughput gene expression monitoring.

▼ The phytochemical dibenzoylmethane (DBM) is a minor constituent of licorice and has been shown to inhibit the growth of various types of cancer cells in vitro and prevent the carcinogenesis in various animal models. In previous studies in our laboratory it was found that DBM effectively inhibited colorectal carcinogenesis in APC(Min/+) mice. However, little is known regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this inhibition, and the pharmacokinetic disposition of DBM still remains unclear. In the first part of this thesis, the anti-proliferative activity of DBM in human colon carcinoma HT-29 cells and the possible molecular mechanisms were investigated. We found that DBM inhibited HT-29 cell proliferation and that this inhibition is associated with cell cycle arrest at G1 phase without inducing apoptosis. DBM-treatment dose-dependently down-regulated various cell cycle regulatory proteins including Cyclin D1, c-Myc and the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein. It appears that decreased mRNA transcription and proteasome-mediated protein degradation were involved in the DBM-induced down-regulation of those proteins. At the same time, p21CIP1, a negative cell cycle regulatory protein, was up-regulated by DBM at both protein and mRNA levels. Taken together, our results from this cell culture studies suggest that DBM inhibited HT-29 cell growth by modulating cell cycle regulatory proteins leading to the induction of cell cycle arrest. In the second part of my thesis, I developed and validated a rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay to determine the concentrations of DBM in the rat plasma, then followed by examining the in vivo pharmacokinetics of DBM in the rats by using this HPLC assay with UV detector. The data indicate that DBM followed a linear pharmacokinetics within the dose ranges tested. The volume of distribution at steady state was about 7.1 L with a systemic clearance of 0.72 L/Kg and t1/2 of 13.23 hr. The oral bioavailability of DBM was approximately 11%. In summary, this thesis investigated the in vitro molecular mechanism of DBM-induced cell cycle arrest in HT-29 cells as well as the in vivo pharmacokinetic disposition of DBM in the rats.

▼ In this study, we elucidate the anti-obesity effects of EGCG (Epigallocatechin-3-gallate), orange peel extracts (OPE), black tea extracts (BTE), and caffeine (CF) by oral feeding to female CD-1 mice. Female CD-1 mice were fed on high-fat diets containing 0.1% EGCG, 0.2% orange peel extract, 0.2% black tea extract and 0.05% caffeine, singly and in combination for 10 weeks. The body weight gain and weights of abdominal fat and brown adipose tissue were significantly reduced by the diets containing orange peel extract, black tea extract, caffeine, OPE + BTE and OPE + CF. Noticeably, our result also found that mice fed with high-fat diet supplemented daily among the combination of 0.2% OPE + 0.2% BTE + 0.05% CF prevented the body weight gain by 48.8%, the parametrial fat pad weight by 88.2%, retroperitoneal fat pad weight by 82.8% and brown adipose tissue by 63.7% compared to mice fed on high-fat diet. On the basis of these finding, it was supported that oral feeding of orange peel extracts, black tea extracts and caffeine had anti-obesity effects by suppressing body weigh growth and adipose tissue formation. Moreover, it was shown that orange peel extract, black tea extract and caffeine were synergistic in anti-obesity actions. To clarify the anti-obesity action of orange peel extract, female CD-1 mice were fed on various degrees of orange peel extracts and different composition of orange peel extract for 17 weeks. Our results showed that feeding of different degrees of orange peel extracts to female CD-1 mice fed high-fat diet results in the reduction of body weight, white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue as well as lipid profile includes total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and HDL in blood. Furthermore, long term consumption of dietary orange peel extracts intake considerably decreases diet-induced obesity, hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia in mice without a dose-dependent manner.

Modeling the dynamic shape and appearance of articulated moving objects is essential for human motion analysis, tracking, synthesis, and other computer vision problems. Modeling the shape and appearance of human motion is challenging due to the high dimensionality of the articulated human motion, variations of shape and appearance from different views and in different people, and the nonlinearity in shape and appearance deformations in the observed sequences. Recent interest in modeling human motion is originated from the various potential real-world applications such as visual surveillance, human-computer interaction, video analysis, computer animation, etc. We present a novel framework to model dynamic shape and appearance using nonlinear manifold embedding and factorization. We investigate different representations to embed high-dimensional human motion sequences in low dimensional spaces by supervised and unsupervised manifold learning techniques to achieve representations that capture the intrinsic structure of the motion. Nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques based on visual data and kinematic data are applied to discover low dimensional intrinsic manifold representation for body configuration. Also, we investigate the use of supervised manifold learning from a known manifold topology to model deformation of manifolds from an ideal case. By learning nonlinear mapping from the embedding space to the input shape or appearance, we can generate shape and appearance sequences according to the motion state on the embedded manifold. We present a decomposable generative model to analyze shape and appearance variations by different factors such as person's style, motion type, and view point. We use multilinear analysis in the nonlinear mapping coefficient space to factorize shape and appearance variations. Also, we investigate learning generative models to represent continuous body configuration and continuous view manifolds in a product space (i.e. body configuration manifold x view manifold). The proposed factorized generative models provide rich models for the analysis of dynamic shape and appearance of human motion. We applied the model in computer vision problems such as inferring 3D body pose from 2D images, tracking human motion with continuous view variations within the Bayesian framework, and gait recognition. We also applied our model for facial expression analysis, tracking, recognition and synthesis.

With the objective to improve our understanding of soil moisture and its long term changes, I analyzed and compared climate model simulations with in situ soil moisture observations. Three studies were conducted to investigate soil moisture variations on seasonal to interannual scales and its long term changes. To investigate soil moisture evolutions on seasonal to interannual scales and the capacity of reanalysis systems to capture the observed characteristics, I analyzed newly updated 19 yr of Chinese soil moisture data and evaluated ERA40, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis (R-1), and NCEP/DOE reanalysis 2 (R-2). Over this region, soil moisture seasonality is in general not strong. Seasonal cycles and interannual variations exhibit considerably spatial diversity. R-2 generally exhibits improved interannual variability and better seasonal patterns of soil moisture than R-1 as a result of incorporating observed precipitation. ERA40 produces a better mean value of soil moisture for most Chinese stations and good interannual variability. In terms of temporal scale - an indicator of anomaly persistence, R-2 has a memory about twice that of the observations for the growing season. The unrealistic long temporal scale of R-2 can be attributed to the deep layer of the land surface model, which is too thick and dominates the soil moisture variability. The analysis highlights the importance of correct soil parameters to land surface processes and points out possible directions in which the reanalysis can be continuously improved to provide more realistic soil moisture outputs. Observations from Ukraine and Russia show significant increases in summer for the period from 1958-1999 that seem contradictory to the classic summer drying issue from early modeling studies. To see whether the latest climate models can capture the observed patterns, I calculated trends in soil moisture simulations from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment climate models. The upward trends in observations, which cannot be explained by precipitation and temperature changes alone, were found to be much larger than most trends in model realizations. Solar dimming is proposed to have played an important role in modulating soil moisture variations for these two regions. Further, a series off-line sensitivity experiments with a sophisticated land surface model were conducted to investigate possible contribution from solar dimming and elevated CO2 to the observed soil moisture trends for Ukraine and Russia. I demonstrate, by imposing a downward trend to shortwave radiation forcing to mimic the dimming, the observed soil moisture pattern can be essentially reproduced. On the other hand, the effects of elevated CO2 are relatively small for the study period. The results support the hypothesis that solar dimming may have played an important role in regional soil moisture changes.

We consider the maximum independent set and maximum weight independent set problems in graphs. As these problems are generally NP-hard, we study their complexity in hereditary graph classes, that is, in graph classes defined by a set F of forbidden induced subgraphs. We describe a condition on the set F, which guarantees that the maximum independent set problem remains NP-hard in the class of F-free graphs. The same hardness result remains valid even under the additional restriction that the graphs are planar and of maximum degree at most three. We exhibit several cases where the condition is violated, and the problem admits a polynomial-time solution. More specifically, we present polynomial-time algorithms for the maximum independent set problem in: -two graph classes that properly contain claw-free graphs (thus generalizing the classical result for claw-free graphs); -various subclasses of planar and more general graphs; -weighted graphs in certain subclasses of graphs of bounded vertex degree. Our algorithms are based on various approaches. In particular, we develop an extension of the method of finding augmenting graphs. We also make extensive use of some other well-known graph decompositions. We also introduce and study the exact version of the problem, where, instead of finding an independent set of maximum weight, the goal is to find an independent set of given weight. Determining the computational complexity of this problem for line graphs, or for line graphs of bipartite graphs would resolve long standing open problems. Here, we show that: -The exact weighted independent set problem is strongly NP-complete for cubic bipartite graphs. -The problem is solvable in pseudo polynomial time for any of the following graph classes: mK2-free graphs, interval graphs and their generalizations k-thin graphs, circle graphs, chordal graphs, AT-free graphs, (claw, net)-free graphs, distance-hereditary graphs, and graphs of bounded tree- or clique-width. Finally, we show how modular decomposition can be applied to the exact weighted independent set problem. As a corollary, we obtain pseudo-polynomial solutions for the problem in certain subclasses of P5-free and fork-free graphs.

Sensor nodes are very weak computers that get distributed at random on a surface in order to achieve a large-scale sensing task. Once deployed, they must wake up and form a radio network. Given the extremely limited resources of sensor nodes, finding efficient solutions even for basic problems is very challenging. The results in this thesis concern the initialization from scratch, or Bootstrapping, of a Sensor Network. More precisely, we seek efficient-provable solutions to the most fundamental problem in Sensor Networks, its self organization. At the same time, we study lower bounds on the time complexity of such a problem. The first set of results in this thesis address the three parts that Sensor Network bootstrapping research has: to model the restrictions on sensor nodes; to prove that the sensors connectivity graph has a subgraph that would make a good network; and to give a distributed protocol for finding such a network subgraph that can be implemented on sensor nodes. A study of the Sensor Network Bootstrapping problem would not be complete without a study of lower bounds on the time complexity of solving it. Strikingly, the most basic problem in a Radio Network, i.e. to achieve a successful transmission, can be proved to be as difficult as other more complex problems under the constraints of a sensor node. The second set of results of this thesis shows new lower bounds for collision-free transmissions in Radio Networks. The main lower bound is tight for a variety of problems. An extension of this result gives the first lower bound for Sensor Network Bootstrapping. A lower bound on the expectation for fair protocols is also shown. Another contribuition of this thesis is a survey of research in Radio Networks. The survey includes two parts that have received extensive study: upper bounds for Sensor Network formation, and upper and lower bounds for non-colliding transmissions in Radio Networks proved under the broader context of more complex problems.

This dissertation, based on fourteen months of fieldwork from 2003-2004, reveals the cultural co-production of gender, work and capitalist practices in one of Italy's economic strongholds, the northern city of Padua. The study traces and conceptualizes the emergence, institutionalization and charged circulation of "mobbing" across varied field sites: corporations, mobbing clinics and state public health institutions. On one level, mobbing refers to a set of vexing practices that isolate, degrade and humiliate a worker to the point of his or her resignation. However, I consider mobbing a deeply gendered cultural discourse about the intensified precariousness of labor that shapes and reflects the desires and subjectivities of Italians during neoliberal reform. I argue that programs to expand Italy's neoliberal economy and promote market flexibility collide with welfare state laws that safeguard employment in ways that make mobbing a particularly salient issue in Italy. That mobbing emerges between a precarious labor market and state protections, in turn, produces complex and opposing effects and paradoxes for workers. Far from envisioning protection and precariousness as two impenetrable categories, I aim to unveil how certain labor and state protections actually intensify the precariousness of workers. I also show how within social and economic precariousness worker-citizens find new pathways for protection. The "cultural biography" of mobbing pertains to a critical historical moment beginning in the late twentieth century when labor rights, good health and job protections come most vividly into direct opposition with a set of social, economic and political risks and uncertainties. I reveal how it is precisely the volatile simultaneity between protection and precariousness – fueled by apprehension and risk in the workplace – that produces mobbing as a culturally urgent issue and source of embodied identity in Italy. My study, delving into the charged life of mobbing, lends insight into how social actors produce meaning in a period of neoliberal reform, as well as how the intimacies of affect, health and gendered relations are inextricably articulated with the state and global economic processes.

▼ Oxidative stress is well recognized as a major contributing factor in the development of cutaneous disease. The generation of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) damage cellular macromolecules, causing mutagenic DNA lesions, altered enzyme function, lipid peroxidation and inappropriate signaling. Induction of oxidative stress is associated with the onset of inflammation through production of arachidonic acid-derived lipid mediators including prostaglandins and leukotrienes although the mechanisms linking these two processes are unclear at this time. As the protective barrier of the body, the skin is exposed to many oxidants. Two such potent inducers of oxidative stress are the high energy wavelengths of the ultraviolet B (UVB) spectra (290-320 nm) and the redoxcycling herbicide paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium). In the present studies, we compared the effect of UVB and paraquat on the expression of antioxidant and arachidonic acid metabolism enzymes in undifferentiated and calcium-differentiated primary mouse keratinocytes. Using enzyme assays, we found that both UVB (2.5-25mJ/cm2) and paraquat (100 µM) generated ROI and were effective inducers of oxidative stress in these cells and that paraquat readily undergoes redox-cycling. Both agents upregulated the expression of several antioxidant enzymes, measured using realtime PCR although a greater number of enzymes were induced by paraquat. UVB and paraquat equally upregulated eicosanoid enzyme expression; these enzymes included the cyclooxygenases, prostanoid synthases, lipoxygenases and leukotriene synthetic enzymes as well as the prostaglandin and leukotriene receptors. Using HPLC with fluorescence detection, UVB was found to modulate prostaglandin production. In both cell types, UVB caused a dose-dependent activation of the p38 and JNK MAP kinases. Akt kinase, however, was found to be activated only in undifferentiated cells with constitutive phosphorylation in differentiated cells. Inhibition of these enzymes markedly inhibited mRNA expression of several eicosanoid enzymes while other enzymes other were unaffected. Taken together, these data demonstrate that UVB light and paraquat effectively induce both antioxidant and eicosanoid biosynthetic enzymes in mouse keratinocytes and that activation of these pathways are regulated by MAP and Akt kinase activity. The elucidation of the keratinocyte response to oxidative stress is a necessary step to a better understanding of the effects of oxidants on the skin.
