▼ In this dissertation, experimental probes and theoretical calculations have been applied to delineate mechanisms of various [2+2] cycloadditions. Besides common experimental observations and transition state theories, this dissertation focuses on the application of kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and dynamic effects for a better understanding of the mechanisms. The studies of dimerization of allene and [2+2] cycloaddition between 1,1-dimethyl allene and dimethyl maleate showed significant intramolecular KIEs and important reaction intermediates. These experimental observations strongly support a stepwise mechanism via a diradical intermediate. Based on this proposal, theoretical calculations gave excellent predictions of experimental observations. The controversy from previous literatures was well resolved by carefully analyzing the experimental observations. Research on Lewis acid catalyzed [2+2] cycloaddition between allene and alkenes were conducted via a combination of product studies, experimental kinetic isotope effects, common theoretical calculations and quasiclassical trajectory simulations. The results identified two important dynamic effects in these reactions, the bifurcating energy surface and the non-statistical recrossing. These dynamic effects explained the inverse KIEs in the reaction between allene and tetramethylethylene and the regioselectivity in the reaction between allene and isopropylidenecyclohexane. In stabilized Wittig olefination, the betaine was proposed to be an intermediate in the formation of the oxaphophetane as opposed to modern undertandings of a concerted mechanism. Experimental KIEs were consisted with a two-step mechanism and theoretical calculations located an intermediate along the reaction pathway. Trajectory simulations also showed significant amount of recrossing at the transition state and a possible hidden entropic intermediate in the reaction. These results provided a unique angle to understand the mechanism and the selectivity in the stabilized Wittig olefinations. Dynamic effects not only play important roles in common organic reactions, but also in complicated enzynamic reactions, such as the transannular Diels-Alder reaction catalyzed by the corresponding ???Diels-Alderase??? SpnF. This reaction includes the role of a [6+4] cycloaddition, a bispericyclic transition state, a bifurcating energy surface, a dynamically stepwise cycloaddition, an entropically-delineated intermediate, and transition state recrossing in the mechanism. The reaction is not its caricature from classical mechanistic analysis and it is not well described by either concerted or stepwise labels. Instead, the mechanism is richer and can only be understood by consideration of dynamics. Advisors/Committee Members: Singleton, Daniel A (advisor).

▼ Using housing data from a Chinese regional college, the author conducted a natural experiment to examine peer effects on three related students’ outcomes: first year GPA, major transfer decisions, and course effort. Conditionally randomly assigned roommates helped to eliminate selection bias in estimating peer effects. In addition, dormitory hall fixed effects and social group fixed effects were controlled to mitigate after enrollment common shocks. In general, the study found robust evidence for peer effects on all three outcomes. First, peer effects on academic performance occurred during both fall and spring semester of the first year in college, with estimated effect much larger than that in previous studies. Further, having more than one roommate in the top quartile had large and significant effects for female students; however, this positive effect was not statistically significant for male students. Second, Having more peers in the same major moderately increased students’ persistence rate in their initial majors. In addition, when one’s peers in the same major dropped out of their initial majors, he or she became more prone to dropping out as well. Students’ choices of destination majors after leaving their initial majors were also affected by the major choice of their transferred peers. Third, the effort pattern between a pair of roommates was significantly more alike than the pattern between a pair of non-roommates, even after eliminating selection bias and common shocks. Moreover, the effort similarity of a pair of roommates explained a considerable portion of their course grade similarity and semester GPA similarity, suggesting that at least a portion of peer effects on students’ academic success was mediated through altering effort.

▼ Government efforts towards school consolidation, busing programs, anti-discrimination housing laws, and diversity efforts at magnet schools have all had the overarching goal of desegregating schools. The impact of school racial composition on the learning and social dynamics of students is of considerable interest to scholars. One potential channel through which the racial composition of schools could affect student outcomes is through the racial composition of friendship groups. There are large disparities between Blacks and whites in the propensity to engage in certain risky behaviors. For Blacks and non-Blacks, my analysis of Add Health data indicates that having more Black friends is correlated with a higher probability of engaging in certain risky behaviors. However, friendships reflect endogenous sorting by parents across schools and by students across social groups within schools. In Chapter 1, I model the endogenous process of friendship formation within schools. Students form separate social neighborhoods in which they sort by ability and race. Students prefer compatible friends, but also prefer to have a larger social network. If race is particularly salient, with just a few Blacks in one's grade, regardless of ability, Blacks will elect to form their own social group. The predictions that came out of this model motivated the empirical exercises of Chapters 2. In Chapter 2, I find that in mixed race schools with a minority of Blacks, adolescent friendships are strongly sensitive to the racial makeup of their classmates. Whites, Asians and Hispanics demonstrate similar sensitivity patterns when they are small minorities in their schools. In Chapter 3, I exploit this result to instrument for the racial composition of one's friendship group with variations in racial demographics across grades within schools. I find that having Black friends reduces a Black student's probability of smoking, but does not influence the risky behaviors as the basic correlations would lead us to believe. Unlike other studies that focus on the reduced form relationship between school composition and behavioral or achievement outcomes, my analysis provides evidence for the importance of friendship formation as an intermediate channel.

Претходних година у области стандардизације могу се запазити све чешће и све убрзаније промене. Такве промене уочљиве су како на међународном, тако и на нижим нивоима стандардизације. Све је више области људског деловања које бивају покривене стандардима. Такође, све је већи број учесника у процесима стандардизације, тако да у окружењу где је изузетно велики број стандарда који постоје или се развијају многе организације наилазе на проблем да се снађу и задовоље захтеве бројних прописа и стандарда. Из тог разлога веома је важно разумети сврху и значај стандардизације за пословање, као и њен однос са блиским областима. Све поменуто иницирало је бројне ауторе, али и одређене организације да истражују оправданост таквог тренда стандардизације и какве ефекте стандарди могу имати на пословање. У оквиру ове дисертације дат је преглед релевантне литературе и свих важнијих спроведених студија и истраживања о ефектима стандардизације ради креирање одговарјућег модела ефеката стандардизације као основе за усмеренији развој области. Општи закључци су да развој стандарда и њихова примена доводи до решавања проблема нпр. компатибилности или смањивање броја варијанти производа, и има значајан утицај на економски раст нпр. омогућава, убрзава и смањује трошкове технолошког трансфера и омогућава ширење тржишта нових технологија. Производња компоненти и склапање различитих производа омогућена је на различитим местима, тако да су се и земље које нису поседовале технолошка знања, брзо придружиле развијенима. Последњих година научници су закључили да стандардизација има значајан утицај на стварање и ширење иновација. Нова теорија тврди да стандарди могу утицати на правце техничких промена много раније у производном циклусу, углавном кроз изградњу позитивних повратних путањи, али и једноставно дефинисањем кључних технолошких инфраструктура и платформи на којима се могу изградити разни нови производи и услуге. У циљу подстицања значајнијег позитивног економског ефекта, резултати и процеси иновација морају да буду успешно позиционирани на тржишту и распрострањени да би били применљиви у технолошке сврхе.

▼ Statistical models, like Transition State Theory (TST), are used in order to predict rates and selectivities of reactions. However, these models often fail to explain experimental results. In such cases, consideration of non-statistical dynamic effects is necessary to understand the experimental observations. Here, we present the study of a series of organic reactions, including: the nitration of toluene using nitronium salts, the Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic ethers, the Cope-type hydroamination of alkynes, and Diels-Alder cycloadditions. In order to understand the mechanism and dynamic effects involved in these reactions, a combination of experimental kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and computational chemistry were employed. KIEs were determined using 1D ¹³C NMR. Solvent dynamics play a very important role in the product selectivity of the nitration of toluene. For this reaction, computational studies showed that the experimentally observed product selectivity does not involve any transition states. Also, dynamic trajectories using an implicit solvent model fail to account for the experimental product selectivity. However, the use of an explicit solvent model showed the importance of the solvent and counter ion reorganization, and their impact in the reaction’s selectivity. For the Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic ethers, KIEs showed that they are affected by a bifurcating energy surface. In these reactions we found that the first step, formation of a C – C bond, is the rate-limiting step. However, KIEs showed that this step is affected by a bifurcation on the free energy surface. Computational studies were able to explain the experimental results. The hydroamination of alkynes was studied in order to get a better understanding of the mechanism involved in this process. KIEs and computational results were in agreement with a process that occurs via a 5-membered-ring TS. In addition, the results showed how KIEs can give an accurate description of the TS involved in the process. Finally, KIEs obtained for the Diels-Alder cycloaddition of p-chlorobenzaldehyde with an asymmetric silyl-diene showed the possibility of the reaction proceeding via a two-step process on the free energy surface, but as “seemingly concerted” reaction in potential energy. These results imply that the reaction is affected by non-statistical recrossing.

▼ <h1>Abstract</h1> There has been a steady increment in economic growth in Uganda and as the economy is on the rise, the demand for energy also increases. Hydro power energy production has been growing in Uganda as a result of the different types of dams created in Uganda along the River Nile. Uganda has been trying to reach the target of electricity capacity so as to ensure that her people get the energy required to improve on their livelihoods. Uganda as a whole has different energy sources but in this thesis, Bujagali dam will be at the center of the focus. Looking at the social and environmental impacts made upon its construction in Jinja. The main objective of this thesis was therefore to show how the livelihoods of the people dwelling in the neighborhood and the environment were affected by the construction of the dam. The livelihoods of the people before the construction of the dam were reviewed in regard to their social life as well as the environment from past literature provided. The different aspects in which the people and environment were affected after the construction of the dam were also reviewed through different interviews with the residents of Bujagali. There were both positive and negative effects, socially, environmentally and economically due to the construction of the Bujagali. The positive social effects were: provision of land for farming, provision of employment opportunities for the residents, increase in tourism at the dam, the falls and the cultural centers, community development including education, health facilities, skill training, water supply and power supply while the negative effects were loss of land, cultural loss, and less access to different points of the river for fishing purposes for the residents. The positive environmental effects were increase in fish species, more health and safety awareness, and thermal plants closure hence less green house gases effects on the ozone layer, the noise levels effects due to the dam construction, were of no consequence as they were in the required standard. The negative environmental effects were majorly water levels fluctuation that affects the head of water which in turn affects the capacity of power produced at the dam and air quality of the area during and after the construction of the dam especially air emissions. The positive economic effects were: increment of power to the national grid, lower electricity costs, closure of thermal plants as they were expensive to run and maintain and reduction of load shedding. The negative effect was the financial loan that the government of Uganda obtained to construct the dam that has to be paid back.

▼ Barataria Bay, in southeast Louisiana is home to productive oyster reefs that are both ecologically and economically important, but was threatened by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010. This study was designed to determine how the oil spill affected long- and short-term oyster recruitment, and spat (juvenile oysters) cellular health. I also investigated how predators in the bay affect spat survival. Four study sites were selected in Barataria Bay: two control and two oiled, each with a low and high salinity location. To determine whether there were long-term effects of the oil spill on oyster recruitment, tiles were placed at each site in 2012 and 2013 and spat recruitment quantified monthly. Results indicate that in 2012, recruitment varied more with salinity, but in 2013 when early summer salinity was lower, recruitment only occurred at the control sites. Tiles with 5 mL of light crude oil absorbed were used to study the short-term effects of oil on oyster and barnacle recruitment in 2013. Spat recruitment was lower on oiled tiles but there was no difference in spat size between treatments; alternately, there was a slight tendency for oil to increase barnacle recruitment. The effect of No (0 ppm), Low (500 ppm) or High (25,000 ppm) oil concentrations in 10 and 20 PSU seawater on spat cellular function was determined. Lysosomal stability was lower in low and high oil treatments suggesting oiling can affect spat health after just 10 days of exposure. The effect of predators on spat survival at each site was determined by quantifying predation on spat with no cage or in predator exclusion cages with 0.5, 1.0, or 3.0 cm mesh openings. The presence of a cage reduced predation of oyster spat. Predation rates were greatest on spat without cages suggesting larger predators such as blue crabs and oyster drills, with access to exposed spat, may play greater roles in post-settlement spat mortality than other predators such as mud crabs. Oyster recruitment and spat survival seems to depend more on salinity and predation than long-term hydrocarbon contamination. However, the short-term effect of hydrocarbon contamination can detrimentally impact spat recruitment and health; thus, clean-up efforts immediately following an oil spill and continuous monitoring efforts are necessary to maintain healthy oyster populations.

▼ Given the increasing awareness regarding the usefulness of gradient elasticity theories and the significant amount of theoretical work that has been produced in the last decade or so, it is rather surprising that the discussion concerning the relationship between the internal length and the material’s microstructure is more or less limited usually to the vague statement that the internal length parameter of the material is a function of the dominant feature of the material’s microstructure. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the physical correlation of this internal length assumed by dipolar elasticity to the material’s microstructure. To the author’s knowledge, the estimation of an evolving internal length parameter for cementitious materials based on experimental evidence has not been done in the past. For this to be attempted and in order to investigate a possible size effect in elasticity from flexure tests of concrete beams, the two classical material constants, the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio, should be determined independently. A homogenization procedure applied to heterogeneous materials in this study showed that the internal length is best described as a measure of the heterogeneity which cannot be defined only in terms of the dominant feature of the microstructure (size of inclusions) but also of the matrix/inclusions elastic mismatch in the material. This was verified experimentally by testing concrete specimens of various mixes with similar microstructural details but with different matrix/aggregate elastic mismatch. The internal length estimate determined based on this model was found to decrease with decreasing level of elastic mismatch. A gradient enhanced elasto-damage model applicable to the case of concrete beams under flexure, which relies heavily on the elasticity solution of the boundary value problem for the case of a dipolar elastic Timoshenko beam, is presented in this work. A closed-form solution of this problem and a methodology for solving more complex beam problems, such as indeterminate beam configurations, is described. This model reduces to the gradient Bernoulli-Euler solution and the classical Timoshenko solution if the necessary simplifications and limits are considered. The elasticity solution of the boundary value problem was used in conjunction with an assumed stress-strain law applicable to semi-brittle materials in order to produce numerical predictions for the inelastic response of the beams tested. The model proposed is shown to lead to an objective (mesh-independent) damage characterization. In this study, the presence of size effects in elasticity and inelasticity of cementitious materials was investigated based on midspan deflection and axial strain measurements of un-notched concrete beam specimens tested under true displacement-controlled 4-point bending for concrete with a compressive strength of up to 40 MPa. The geometrically similar un-notched beam specimens tested had a beam height to maximum aggregate size ratio of up to about 6.5. Since…

▼ This thesis seeks to explore the way in which invisibility as a concept becomes explicitly housed within digital compositing, visual effects (VFX) and certain attendant techniques. The chapters will establish how compositing and effects techniques can be seen as pushing modern filmmaking into concealing, and therefore visually releasing, certain physical structures within films’ images and their production. This shall be achieved by drawing upon a combination of texts that disseminate the technical nature and make-up of VFX, alongside discussion and theorisation of their use within cinema, together with other established film theory. I will examine cases of VFX techniques within cinema that can be used to investigate how their construction and utilisation create invisibility to accommodate and nullify the profilmic elements captured through the camera and aspects of technology. The chapters begin by examining how the work of Georges Méliès, whose films use the concept of invisibility to promote a breakdown of temporal and spatial qualities, become redeployed in certain modern digital effects-based films. Expanding on this, the second chapter explores how theories surrounding realism as espoused through mise-en-scène and the so-called physical “truth” of the captured world can be rearticulated through VFX both optical and digital. Chapter three looks at how breaking down the physical structure of a performer through VFX and motion-capture result in characterisations that produce a sense of ghostliness, where the Bazinian mummification of photographic capture has new existence breathed into it. Finally, chapter four explores how recent developments in effects techniques in creating the Invisible Man act as a reflection of the physical body unbound in a digital world. Here, the digital infrastructure of modern culture, such as the Internet, is used to highlight how a more free-flowing and vivacious body can exist and make use of unseen and non-physical practices to commit nefarious acts, such as hacking. It is these aspects that become reflected in the most recent film iteration of the Invisible Man, Hollow Man (2000).

▼ There is a long history of examining the relationship between consumption and wealth. The recent subprime mortgage crisis in the US and the European sovereign debt crisis associated with the remarkable fluctuations in both stock and housing markets have brought new concerns over the response of consumer spending to asset price shocks. This thesis re-investigates the relationship between consumption, income, financial and housing wealth: specifically, the wealth effect on consumption based on both time-series data in an examination of the US and panel data in an examination of OECD countries. It is argued that nonlinear estimation might provide a better explanation of fluctuations in the relationship between consumption and wealth, given the nature of the studied variables and the complexity of economic systems. The econometric methods employed include the Markov regime-switching approach, the quantile autoregressive distributed-lag framework, panel unit root and cointegration tests, and a panel vector autoregressive procedure. In terms of the US market, only weak evidence of a linear cointegrating relationship is found between consumption, income and wealth. It suggests that the consumption-wealth relation is better characterised in regime-specific terms. Furthermore, the transition probabilities between regimes are time-varying and driven by monetary indicators such as interest rates. In addition, different speeds of adjustment across the range of quantiles are identified in the long-run relationship between consumption, income and wealth. Wealth effects are found to be larger in lower quantiles. The findings imply that asymmetric monetary policies should be responsible for the movement in asset prices in analysing future inflation and aggregate demand due to the sensitivity of financial and housing wealth effects in different economic states. In OECD studies, cointegration evidence is only observed in market-based countries, not in bank-based economies. Moreover, the wealth effects are found to be larger in market-based than in bank-based countries. In addition, since a positive wealth effect caused by an increase in capital value of housing might be partly offset by a negative price effect caused by an increase in the cost of housing services, the ‘net housing wealth effect’ actually is found to be slightly smaller than the stock market wealth effect in OECD countries. However, due to the significant boom in real estate markets since the 1990s, the housing wealth effect has clearly exceeded the share market wealth effect over the past decade. The results show that asset wealth has asymmetric effects on consumption, with stronger and more persistent effects from positive asset wealth shocks.

▼ What I communicate with ‘Give me that’, pointing at a book, differs from what I communicate by it pointing at a cup. Your actions and my expectations likewise differ in these two cases. At the same time, the referent of any particular use of ‘that’ is typically unambiguous and recovered effortlessly. What determines the referent of ‘that’ and which resources permit us to recover it so easily? Though everyone agrees that what we can communicate is constrained by grammar, most believe that the role of grammar is very limited, and that interpretation largely relies on general reasoning about the communicative situations and intentions of the speaker. Philosophers frequently identify such (purported) context-sensitivity within philosophically interesting expressions like ‘know’, or ‘good’, and appeal to it to shed light on problems involving the concepts these expressions denote; but they also assume that these expressions get their values in context by way of common-sense reasoning about speaker intentions. This has lead to many radical conclusions. To take just one concrete example, the behavior of context-sensitive expressions describing possibilities and necessity (‘must’ and ‘might’) prima facie gives rise to apparent failures of classical patterns of inference, like Modus Ponens, which has led many philosophers throughout the history of analytic philosophy, operating under the traditional assumptions about the resolution of context-sensitivity, to conclude that there is a deep incompatibility between classical logic and natural language. Against this tradition, I argue, drawing on resources from philosophy, linguistics, mathematical logic and computer science, that the reason we can interpret context-sensitivity so effortlessly is because grammar itself is much more subtle and pervasive than has been assumed, and that resolution of context-sensitivity is entirely a matter of linguistic convention. Thus, linguistic rules render a particular object prominent in a given context, and this is what determines what ‘that’ picks out in that context. Moreover, in recovering this referent it is this narrow set of linguistic cues that we exploit. The conventions that I argue govern the resolution of context-sensitivity have gone unnoticed because their principal domains are entire discourses and not just their constituent words and sentences. While it is universally accepted that the way individual sentences are constructed depends on conventions of syntax and semantics, which specify the rules by which individual expressions combine, I argue for rules–discourse conventions–that specify how individual sentences combine to form a discourse. These conventions govern how speakers organize utterances into larger units that address particular topics and answer questions about them; I argue these rules determine the resolution of context-sensitivity. The move to investigating discourses has far reaching consequences: I show that a host of contextualist arguments that resort to context-dependence rest on a flawed conception context,… Advisors/Committee Members: King, Jeffrey C (chair), Lepore, Ernest (co-chair), Camp, Elisabeth (internal member), Egan, Andy (internal member), Gillies, Anthony S (internal member), Stone, Matthew (outside member), Hawthorne, John (outside member).

In 2016, it was estimated that more than 15.5 million cancer survivors were living in the US, and this number will increase to more than 20 million by 2026. Highly effective treatments have been developed, and the increase in survival demands more attention to patient’s quality of life and management of adverse effects. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-limiting adverse effect of various cancer therapies, such as paclitaxel and cisplatin. CIPN is one of the most challenging pain conditions with poor response to pharmacotherapy; therefore, discontinuation of chemotherapy or dose reduction often remains the only clinical solution. The thesis focused on using quantitative approach for improving our understanding of the relationships between tissue distribution of the chemotherapeutic agents and CIPN development. In an introductory Chapter 1, an overview of the chemotherapeutics, CIPN, formulations, and modeling approaches is presented. In Chapter 2, a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to characterize the whole-body disposition of paclitaxel following administration of a commercially available formulation (Taxol®). Pharmacokinetic data of paclitaxel in mice from multiple publications was collected and used for model development. Interspecies scaling approaches were incorporated in the model and provided reasonable prediction of tissue disposition of paclitaxel in rats and plasma pharmacokinetics in humans. In Chapter 3, a nanoparticle formulation of paclitaxel was developed. The neurotoxicity development in rats was significantly reduced after administration of the PEGylated liposomal paclitaxel compared to Taxol®. The formulation has also significantly altered paclitaxel disposition into tissues. In Chapter 4, a quantitative relationship between the dose, plasma pharmacokinetics, and paclitaxel-induced peripheral neurotoxicity was established by evaluating the paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimuli after intravenous administration of Taxol® to rats using experimental data and published literature. Indirect response models adequately described the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship. In Chapter 5, a PBPK model of cisplatin (another neurotoxic compound) was developed based on multiple published data sets from preclinical species. The model included the uncommon metabolism and binding pattern of cisplatin, and an interspecies scaling approach based on protein turnover rate was developed. The model successfully predicted cisplatin pharmacokinetics in humans. Collectively, the studies provided important insights into quantitative relationships for neurotoxic chemotherapeutics. Translational PBPK and PK-PD modeling approaches can be further utilized for optimization of therapy with neurotoxic chemotherapeutics.

Introduction: Regenerative endodontic therapy in immature teeth with necrotic pulps triggers continued root development thereby improving the prognosis of these teeth. Several agents are under consideration for the disinfection and conditioning phases of this therapy. Triple antibiotic paste (TAP, i.e. equal parts of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, minocycline) is used for canal disinfection and 17% EDTA solution is used for dentin conditioning. However, TAP and EDTA cause demineralization and their effect on surface loss and surface roughness of radicular dentin during regenerative procedures has not been quantified. Surface loss may be correlated with reduced tooth strength and surface roughness may be correlated with stem cell attachment. Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to quantitatively investigate the surface loss and surface roughness on human radicular dentin after treatment with two concentrations of TAP followed by EDTA. Materials and Methods: Human radicular dentin specimens were prepared from extracted human anterior teeth and randomized into six experimental groups. Group 1: saline control; Group 2: 17% EDTA; Group 3: TAP 1 mg/mL; Group 4: TAP 1 mg/mL and 17% EDTA; Group 5: TAP 1,000 mg/mL; Group 6: TAP 1,000 mg/mL and 17% EDTA for 5 minutes. After TAP is applied to Groups 3-6, all groups were incubated for 4 weeks. Then, groups 2, 4, and 6 were treated with EDTA for 5 minutes. Dentin surface loss (μm) and surface roughness (Ra, μm) were quantified after various treatments using non-contact and contact profilometry, respectively. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (α = 0.05) Hypothesis: It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in surface loss or surface roughness between at least two treatment groups. Results: All treatment groups showed significantly higher surface loss compared to untreated control. Dentin treated with 1g/mL TAP caused significant increase in surface loss and surface roughness compared to dentin treated with 1 mg/mL TAP. However, only 1g/mL TAP treated dentin showed significantly higher surface roughness compared to untreated control. The use of EDTA after both concentrations of TAP did not have significant additive effect on surface loss and surface roughness of dentin. Conclusion: The use of 1 mg/mL TAP can minimize surface loss and surface roughness of radicular dentin compared to higher concentrations. The use of EDTA after TAP may not cause additional surface loss and surface roughness of dentin.

▼ The Grand River watershed (GRW) lies within a designated urban growth plan area known as the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) region in Southern Ontario, Canada. Development activities within this watershed cause environmental effects that accumulate over space and time resulting in degradation of water resources. Some of these cumulative environmental effects include poor water quality and quantity, increased sedimentation and surface run-off. In light of such cumulative effects issues, this research study attempts to advance watershed-scale cumulative effects assessment (W-CEA) by evaluating institutional arrangements (IAs) to support it in the GRW. The methods applied in evaluating these IAs include document review, a focus group and semi-structured interviews. The document review both positioned the research study within the current literature of watershed management and cumulative effects assessment and revealed important resource management information related to W-CEA in the GRW, while the focus group yielded an evaluative framework for existing institutional arrangements. A semi-structured interview schedule was then developed to investigate in-depth the status of institutional arrangements within the GRW. Twenty-nine interviews were conducted with academic experts; project proponents; government and watershed agencies; non-governmental organizations; First Nations; and others. Interviewees discussed eight themes related to institutional arrangements identified as prerequisites for supporting W-CEA: lead agency; multi-stakeholder collaboration; CEA baselines, indicators and thresholds; multi-scaled monitoring; data management and coordination; vertical and horizontal policy and planning linkages; enabling legislation and financial resources. Data analysis reveals varying opinions on the capacity of existing institutional arrangements to support W-CEA at present due to different understanding of the tasks and duties required for W-CEA, and a plethora of management mandates within the watershed. The interview data also show that scattered monitoring data and lack of a strong responsible authority for W-CEA in the GRW also hamper institutional capacity. Study participants raised questions about whether existing science in the watershed is ‘mature’ enough to conduct W-CEA at this time, and there is a documented need to identify a potential funding authority for watershed-scale initiatives. Lessons learnt help to advance W-CEA frameworks in Canada and abroad. Advisors/Committee Members: Gunn, Jill, Noble, Bram, Patrick, Robert, Bruneau, Joe.

▼ Meta-analysis is a statistical analysis that combines results from different independent studies. In meta-analysis a number of statistical methods are currently used for combining effect sizes of different studies. The simplest of these methods is based on a fixed-effects model, which assumes that all studies in the meta-analysis share a common true effect size and that the effect sizes in our meta-analysis differ only because of sampling error. Another statistical method that is used in meta-analysis, is the random-effects model, which assumes sampling variation due to fixed-effects model assumptions and random variation because the effect sizes themselves are sampled from a population of effect sizes. These models are compared to determine which model is appropriate and under what circumstances is the model appropriate. We illustrate these models by applying each model to a collection of 3 studies examining the effectiveness of new drug versus placebo to treat patients with duodenal ulcers and meta-analysis of 9 studies of the use of diuretics during pregnancy to prevent the development of pre-eclampsia. Results indicated that the choice between the two model depends on the question of which model fits the distribution of effect sizes better and takes account of the relevant source(s) of error. We further study the meta-analysis of longitudinal studies where effect sizes are reported at multiple time points. Univariate meta-analysis is a statistical approach which may be used to study effect sizes reported at multiple time point. The problem with this approach is that it ignores correlation between the effect sizes, which might increase the standard error of the point estimates. We used the linear mixed-effects model, which borrows ideas from multivariate meta-analysis. One of the advantages of the linear mixed-effects model is that it accounts for correlation between effect sizes both within and between studies. The independence model where separate univariate meta-analysis is done at each of the time points was compared against models where correlation was accounted for different alternatives; including random study effects, correlated random time effects and/or correlated within-study errors, or unstructured covariance structures. We implemented these methods through an example of meta-analysis of 16 randomized clinical trials of radiotherapy and chemotherapy versus radiotherapy alone for the post-operative treatment of patients with malignant gliomas, where in each trial, survival is evaluated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post randomization. The results revealed that models that accounted for correlations had better fit.

▼ Theoretical and empirical considerations of predator-prey dynamics have sought to determine the dominant of two effects exerted by predators onto prey: consumptive effects of predators and non-consumptive, or trait-mediated, effects. Many studies have identified trait-mediated interactions (TMIs) in diverse taxa, and meta-analyses of these studies found that prey population dynamics are as strongly – if not more strongly – affected by TMIs as density-mediated interactions (DMIs). Since then, there is now an expanded primary literature, and given this potential for new insight on the direct and indirect effect of predators on prey, the cost of traits involved in TMIs relative to the cost of consumption in DMIs should be revisited and reanalyzed with state-of-the-science research synthesis practices. Here we use a novel trivariate meta-analysis to jointly synthesize and model the multivariate effects of TMIs and DMIs on prey populations. We found that DMIs have twice the negative effects on prey populations than TMIs, but are more variable then TMIs, and that TMIs have the strongest effects in aquatic systems. Finally, we found that the model of total predator effects is not additive of DMIs and TMIs. Total predator effects were less than DMIs—which is biological intuitive given that prey should not initiate TMIs and therefore trait changes if it did not lessen total predator effects below that of DMIs. Gaps in the literature were detected, specifically that more experiments are needed that simultaneously assess TMIs and DMIs to a common control and that more studies are needed examining the demographic consequences of morphological TMIs. Our findings that DMIs are stronger than TMIs in affecting prey demographics suggests that DMIs are stronger regulators of prey populations. Our findings also suggest that the total predator effect requires measuring the combination of DMIs and TMIs, and that TMIs should be researched within the context of how they reduce the impacts and cost of DMIs from predators.

▼ Drug delivery development and optimization require understanding of the roles of lipid phase on partitioning, permeation pathways, and barrier functions of bilayers on a molecular level. Quantitative contributions of lipid phase and chemical structure remain unknown for most biological membranes of pharmaceutical interest. Current investigations ascertained contributions of bilayer packing phases to solute partitioning into and permeation across lipid bilayers, an objective most effectively addressed with model bilayers of defined structure, composition, and phase. Well-characterized large unilamellar liposomes modeled different bilayer phases composed of tilted gel and liquid-crystalline dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and distearoyl-phosphatidylcholine, interdigitated gel and liquid-crystalline dihexadecylphosphatidyl-choline, and liquid-crystalline cholesterol-containing phases of these phospholipids. Variations in polar headgroup spacings versus acyl chain mobilities were exploited to systematically probe aspects of phospholipid bilayer packing phase that determine the bilayer's barrier function. Bilayer lipid composition strongly influenced the number of bilayers, average size, size distribution, and stability of liposomes extruded through a constant pore size polycarbonate filter. Liposome surface areas and internal volumes were calculated using diameters, number of bilayers/liposome, bilayer thicknesses, and headgroup surface areas. These variables and solute efflux were used to calculate permeability. Thus, effects of differing liposome sizes on permeation were differentiated. Quantitative permeabilities for hydrophilic nonelectrolytes ranging from thiourea to sucrose represented the first obtained for well-characterized large unilamellar liposomes. Permeability trends with varying solute size/hydrophilicity suggested selectivity to hydrophilicity dominated over molecular volume for the solutes studied. Gel phases were established to have different barrier properties than liquid-crystalline phases, with selectivity differing for different gel phases. Each bilayer phase studied possessed an overall diffusional barrier more lipophilic than an octanol environment. Contributions to lipophilic solute partitioning included both polar headgroup/interfacial and acyl chain bilayer structural regions. However, partitioning barriers for even fairly lipophilic molecules were not the same barriers as those for diffusion. Through systematic evaluation of permeabilities as a function of bilayer phase, the primary diffusional barrier was established to be within acyl chain regions, with a smaller but significant contribution by the polar headgroup spacing that has not been previously reported in the literature.
