▼ Barnacles have the longest penis length, relative to body length, among all organisms. It is common for their penis length to be several times that of their bodiesâ. One reason is that barnacles are immobile and they rely on penis to reach mates. Thus the longer the penis the more mates there may be. How do barnacles balance mate numbers and penis cost? In this investigation, we studied the possible relationship between local densities and penis lengths of barnacles. Our goal is to explain the high intraspecific variation in penis lengths of barnacles. First, we measured the Nearest Neighbor Distance(NND) and Morphological Index (MI), both indices of local barnacle densities, of individuals of Amphibalanus amphitrite at Tainan, Tetraclita kuroshioensis at Keelung and Kenting, and Tetraclitella chinensis at Penghu. The cirrus lengths were used as indices of body sizes. A high percentage of penis length variation could not be explained by body sizes in these barnacles. In A. amphitrite and T. kuroshioensis, a positive correlation between residue penis length, i.e., after deducting the effect of body size, and MI was found. Assuming no sperm competition, we found, through simulation, that the optimal penis length, is not related to local densities, whereas in the presence of sperm competition, the longer penis length the lower fitness.In lab experiment, however, penis length of A. amphitrite was found to increase with increasing number of neighbors.Under high densities, the shell base become relatively small (high MI) and the shell becomes elongated. Investment in eggs may be limited by space available for brooding, thus more energy is available to invest in male functions. Under the assumption of no sperm competition, penis length remains the only option for effective investment. The preliminary result here suggests that the penis length of barnacles is plastic and is influenced by the local density. In Tetraclitella chinensis, no correlation between local densities and penis lengths was found; the very flat shell morphology of the species may have contributed to this phenomenon.

▼ Environmental conditions can lead to mercury accumulations in fish that are highly variability among spatially close lakes in Ontario, Canada. Mercury methylation caused by sulfate reduction can influence total mercury concentrations in fish (THgfish). Kahshe and Mountain lakes were chosen to assess temporal trends of THgfish and using paleolimnological tools described the lake environment in terms of total mercury (THgsed), total sulfur (TSsed), chromium-reducible sulfur (CRSsed), and chrysophyte-inferred lake-water pH (CI-pH). THgfish were standardized by length (LS-THgfish) to identify trends and make comparisons with archived fish from the Royal Ontario Museum. In Kahshe Lake, LS-THgfish for 30-cm smallmouth bass and 40-cm walleye displayed peak concentrations in the early 1980s (0.74 +/- 0.17 µg/g d.w; n=41 and 1.40 +/- 0.42 µg/g d.w; n=16, respectively) with clear declines starting in 1999 (0.33 µg/g d.w +/- 0.13, n=12). At Mountain Lake, LS-THgfish in smallmouth bass (0.31 – 0.45 µg/g) and walleye (0.30 – 0.49 µg/g) were low and stable through the period of observation. Peak concentrations at Kahshe Lake were over 300% higher than the 1926 archival sample (0.22 µg/g d.w, 22.1 cm total length), while the 1948 Mountain Lake sample (0.28 µg/g, 24.4 cm total length) is consistent with modern concentrations. As expected from LS-THgfish , THgsed was higher in Kahshe Lake, although enrichment was seen at both sites. Temporal trends for TSsed and CRSsed diverged with enrichment in Kahshe Lake and depletion in Mountain Lake. CI-pH showed minimal temporal changes. Although trends of CRSsed indicate sulfate is processed differently among the lakes, geochronology highlighted a consistent spatio-temporal relationship between THgfish and CRSsed. This strongly supports a relationship between sulfate reduction rates and Hg methylation, independent of THgsed and pH. Therefore, if THgfish is used as an indicator of aquatic health CRSsed may be a useful tool for rapid assessment.

▼ Paediatric leg length discrepancies (LLDs) are more common than might be expected with the literature reporting that between 0.1 and 7% of the paediatric population has a LLD of >2 cm. Causes can be subdivided into congenital and acquired aetiologies. LLDs greater than 2 cm can lead to functional complications such as altered gait kinetics and abnormal loading of joints. For children predicted to have a LLD of 2-5 cm, minimally invasive epiphysiodesis (MIE) is the current management of choice. Presently, there are four MIE techniques commonly used throughout the world, however, no systematic reviews have compared these techniques. The objective of this thesis was to conduct a systematic review to synthesise the best available evidence on the use of MIE for the management of paediatric LLD. The effectiveness of four different techniques was compared: percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS); physeal drilling and curettage (PDC); physeal stapling; and guided growth with eight-Plates. Studies that evaluated two or more of the interventions or those that investigated a single intervention were considered for inclusion. Primary outcomes for the review included absolute LLD at skeletal maturity; rate of correction; percentage of correction; and incidence of long term complications. This review found that all techniques were sufficient at reducing the burden of a LLD with the mean final LLD of each being calculated to be <2 cm. Despite this, the rate of complications was higher in the eight-Plates and staples groups than the PDC and PETS groups. The PETS cohort had a reported failure of growth plate arrest (GPA) of 2.5% compared with 6% in the PDC and staples groups and 14% in the eight-Plate groups. The rate of inadequate correction (i.e. over or under correction), were also higher in the eight-Plate and staples groups (15% and 23%, respectively) than the PETS and PDC groups (8% and 13%, respectively). The incidence of angular deformities was much higher in the staples cohort (33%) than in the other groups (PDC 2%; PETS 9%; and eight-Plates 5%). The incidence of acute complications, such as haematoma, infection and acute knee pain, was similar across all techniques. Unfortunately, the overall level of evidence was low, due to the suboptimal and heterogeneous nature of the study designs included in this systematic review, and thus, treatment guidelines could not be developed. Notwithstanding this, the available evidence showed that all the evaluated techniques can adequately reduce a LLD, although PDC and PETS appear to be more effective at this. Further research is required to substantiate these claims; for now, all techniques remain an acceptable technique for addressing LLDs of 2-5 cm.

▼ This dissertation begins with proposing a novel street Connectivity Indicator (C.I.) to predict transit performance by identifying the role that street network connectivity plays in influencing the service quality of demand responsive feeder transit services. This new C.I. definition is dependent upon the expected shortest path between any two nodes in the network, includes spatial features with transit demand distribution information and is easy to calculate for any given service area. Subsequently, a methodology to identify and locate critical links within a grid street system for operating feeder transit services is also developed. A 'critical' street link causes the largest change in transit performance due to the link's removal or addition to an existing network. The most important contribution of this section on link criticality is to present a simple closed-form analytical formula in locating the critical link(s) for a grid street network system of 'any' size. Easily computable formulas have been provided and validated by simulation analyses. Another related model is proposed to compute the optimal grid street spacing that would enhance performance of a demand responsive feeder transit system. The model is tested using simulation. Lastly, an analytical model is also developed for estimating optimal service cycle length or headway of a demand responsive feeder transit service designed to serve passengers, especially during peak periods of demand. Simulation analyses over a range of networks have been conducted to validate the new C.I. definition. Results show a desirable monotonic relationship between transit performance and the proposed C.I., whose values are directly proportional and therefore good predictors of the transit performance, outperforming other available indicators, typically used by planners. Further, useful insights indicate a monotonic decrease in link criticality as we depart from the centrally located links to those located at boundaries. Using a real case example from Denver of the Call-n-Ride system operating similar to a demand responsive feeder transit, optimal cycle lengths differed very modestly from those computed using the model. Extensive simulations performed for different sets of feeder service areas and demand densities, further validated the optimal cycle length model.

▼ Background: Running is one of the most popular branches of athletics. Running has several physiological benefits, such as a higher maximal oxygen consumption, increased muscle mass and reduced blood pressure. There have been plenty of discussions about what the most efficient running technique might be, should you use a short step length and a high step frequency or vice versa. It is generally known that you can increase your running speed by increasing your step frequency or your step length, and also both. However, maximal speed is achieved by increasing your step frequency rather than your step length. For endurance runners it is important to have a good running economy, because runners with a good running economy use less energy while running, and therefore require less oxygen than a runner with poor running economy. Previous research have not found any correlations between the length of the leg with step frequency or step length. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine whether there are any significant correlations between the length of the leg in relation to the step frequency or the step length while running in different speeds. Method: 15 trained males participated in this correlation study. All participants’ leg length were measured with a measuring tape. Three running trials, with the speeds of 12, 16 and 20 km/h were performed on a treadmill during 1 minute each. Between each trial the participants rested for 3 minutes. The trials were recorded with a video camera, and the participants individual step frequency, step length and heel or fore foot strike were collected. Persons coefficient of correlation test was used to analyze if there were any significant correlations between the length of the leg with step frequency and step length. Also a paired samples T test was performed to see if there was a significant increase between step frequency and step length with the speeds. Result: There were no significant correlations (p>0,05) found between the length of the leg and the step frequency or the length of the leg and step length in any of the different speeds. The paired samples t-test showed a significant (p<0,001) increase in step frequency and step length with the different speeds. Conclusion: In conclusion, according to the present study, there were no significant correlations found between the length of the leg with step frequency or step length, which is in consensus with previous research. Therefore, it is not advisable to predict an individual’s step length based on their leg length. There are various factors involved in determining a person’s step length and step frequency, and this study showed that running speed is one important factor. This information may be useful for runners and their coaches to apply, so they avoid making interventions involving alternations in the runners step length based on their body dimensions, such as leg length.

▼ One of the primary tasks of the mobile system designers in order to support high density of devices in a CDMA system is to create a code sequence with a capacity for large number of spreading code sequences having low cross-correlation values between them, in order to ensure accommodation of large number of users and to minimise the effect of multiple access interference. In this research, the design for a novel hybrid orthogonal very large set (HOVLS) code sequence is proposed for high density mobile application scenarios. The design and development of both fixed and variable spreading factor code sequences are presented in this thesis. Both type of code sequences have been implemented via simulation using Matlab/Simulink. The performance of the code sequences has been evaluated and compared with that of existing code sequences. The proposed code sequences are more advantageous for high density mobile networks. The unique feature of the fixed length HOVLS code sequence is that its ACF, CCF, and BER performances are similar to that of orthogonal Gold code sequence and orthogonal m-sequence under Rayleigh flat and frequency selective fading channel conditions while having a significantly higher capacity than those orthogonal code sequences. The proposed HOVLS code sequence could support 134 different cells which is more than twice than that of orthogonal Gold code sequence and orthogonal m-sequence. To the knowledge of the author, this is the largest reported family size in the literature for an orthogonal code sequence for CDMA applications. In order to support variable data rate, fixed length HOVLS code sequence was developed into orthogonal variable spreading factor code sequence. It is shown that the proposed OVSF code sequence has slightly better CCF than those of OVSF Gold code sequence and m-sequence in terms of CM (correlation margin). The ACF of the proposed OVSF code sequence is similar to those of OVSF Gold code sequence and m-sequence. The proposed OVSF code sequence possesses comparable BER performance to those of orthogonal Gold code sequence and orthogonal m-sequence under flat fading channel condition. Whereas, the BER performance of the proposed OVSF code sequence is slightly better than that of Gold code sequence and OVSF m-sequence under frequency selective fading channel. Therefore, the proposed HOVLS code sequence is appropriate code sequence in CDMA systems than those of orthogonal Gold code sequence and orthogonal m-sequence for both fixed and variable rate high density network applications.

▼ This study aims to study the species composition and distribution of chaetognaths in the waters surrounding Taiwan January 2005 to July 2006, and to explore the relationship between environmental factors and their dynamic distribution. Waters surrounding Taiwan are affected by monsoons and water masses. In winter, the northwestern Taiwan area is under the impact of low-temperature low-salinity China Coastal Current, but in summer, Taiwan Strait is affected by South China Sea Current going northward with high-temperature and high-salinity. As for eastern waters of Taiwan, Kuroshio current passes throughout the year so it is high-temperature and high-salinity. In July 2006, when three typhoons struck Taiwan, excessive fresh water from land flowed into the ocean and stations along the coast where low in salinity. This study identified a total of 28 species of chaetognath under 14 genera of 4 families, with average abundance at 475 Â± 35 ind./100m3, which shows an obvious change related to seasons, relatively low in winter and spring and high in summer and fall. The seven most dominant species are: Flaccisagitta enflata, Serratosagitta pacifica, Zonosagitta littoralis, Pterosagitta draco, Aidanosagitta regularis, Aidanosagitta bedfordii and Aidanosagitta neglecta, accounting for 85% of the total abundance. The distribution of chaetognath in waters surrounding Taiwan is affected by the different water masses. The northwestern area where China Coastal Current passes through has high abundance but less number and low Shannon diversity index, but the eastern and southern waters dominated by Kuroshio current shows a completely different trend. From the results of multiple regression analysis, it is found that the abundance of chaetognath and F. enflata are in positive correlation with that of the abundance of copepod, indicating that the quantity of food might be a factor affecting the distribution of chaetognath. The second dominant species S. pacifica has no relation with hydrographic or biological factors, and the third dominant species Z. littoralis is in negative correlation with temperature and salinity. Along with the results of indicator species analysis, Z. littoralis can possibly be used as indicators species of China Coastal Current. The three predominant species are dominated by the Stage I and significantly less in other growth stages. The average body lengths (ABL) of F. enflata and S. pacifica are the larger in spring and smaller in fall, with obvious changes with seasons, but that of Z. littoralis is larger in winter and summer and smaller in spring and fall. Different water masses have impacts on distribution of weight mean stage (WMS) and ABL of chaetognath; for example, F. enflata and S. pacifica with the equivalent growth have larger bodies in Kuroshio current than in China Coastal Current, but Z. littoralis which prefers cold water shows an opposite trend. In addition, this study found that abundance, species, Shannon diversity index, WMS and ABL of chaetognath has no differences between day and night,… Advisors/Committee Members: Kwee-Siong Tew (chair), Meng-Hsien Chen (chair), Wen-Tseng Lo (committee member), Chang-Tai Shih (chair).

The voltage sensing S4 helix contains 4-7 basic residues that form an electrostatic interaction network with the acidic residues in the S2 and S3 helices to stabilize the open and the closed state in response to voltage change. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of S3-S4 loop length and composition in shaping the voltage response of Kv channels. In this thesis, I have undertaken a series of mutagenesis experiments on the mouse Kv1.2 (V50 approximately -13 mV) and a jellyfish Kv1 channel jShak1 (V50 approximately +26 mV) to evaluate how the S3-S4 loop affects the voltage sensitivity and regulates the interaction within the VSD in two different channel backgrounds. I have mutated the S3-S4 loop by changing the length and composition and have mutated an acidic residue on the S2 helix that stabilizes the open state by forming salt bridges with basic residues of the S4 helix. In most Kv1 family channels this residue is glutamate (E226 in mouse, E283 in D. melanogaster Shaker), but in the jellyfish channel it is asparagine (N227). I have also made pairwise combinations of the loop-mutants and the S2 mutants to evaluate how their effects interact. Our study found that the effects of the loop mutations on the two channels are significantly different, both in terms of loop length and composition, indicating that the loops affect the propensity for channel opening through factors other than simple constraints on relative movement of S3 and S4. Mutations in the S2 residue reveal the packing of the helices in the two channels differs significantly - in the mouse Kv1.2 mutations of E226 to shorter and less charged residues creates an omega pore through the voltage sensing domain, whereas mutation of N227 in jShak1 leads to strong interactions between the effects of shortening the S3-S4 loop and increasing the size of the residue 227 side-chain, indicating a tighter packing of the helices in jShak1 than in mouse Kv1.2.

▼ Increasing demand for energy in the world has made industries to look for economically efficient methods to produce energy. One possible approach is to increase natural gas productions, due to its cleanliness and lower price. However, energy consumption of the cryogenic processes is high in natural gas processing plants. Adsorptive separations are becoming widespread in various industries such as oil and gas as a promising alternative to the conventional cryogenic processes. Activated carbons are among the most attractive porous materials used in adsorption processes, due to their high internal surface areas and ease of availability in the market. They exhibit bimodal pore size distributions, comprising microporous structure throughout a network of larger macropores. This makes them interesting and challenging adsorbents in adsorption studies. The separation of ethane from natural gas is one of the important processes in gas processing plants. Ethane is highly needed as feedstock for ethylene production plants. In this thesis, adsorption kinetics of ethane on activated carbon was studied using Zero Length Column (ZLC) technique. ZLC is a useful chromatographic method to study equilibrium and kinetics of adsorption. It is known as a fast and easy lab-scale technique for adsorbent screenings and diffusion studies. In ZLC, external heat and mass transfer resistances and dispersion are eliminated by the use of low adsorbate concentration, small amount of adsorbent and high flow rates. In the experiments, the adsorbent sample is first pre-equilibrated with the test gas for a sufficient time. The kinetics and equilibrium information can be obtained from the desorption curve when the flow is switched to pure purge gas under controlled conditions. The experimental set-up was developed during this project. System characterization experiments such as dead volume measurements, detector selection, detector's response time calculations were performed and are discussed in detail. ZLC measurements were carried out to study the controlling diffusion mechanism and obtain the diffusivity values. By performing low concentration experiments, diffusion in macropores found to be the controlling resistance. Among the various mechanisms, molecular and Knudsen diffusion were identified to be important.

▼ The lymphatic system returns interstitial fluid back to the blood circulation. They have a network of vessels with numerous lymphangions, the segment of lymphatic vessel between two unidirectional valves. The valves aid in transporting lymph against a pressure gradient, in addition to the lymphangion pump which exhibit cyclical variations in diameter. Like blood vessels, baseline lymphatic tone is regulated with changes in transmural pressure; however, the transient response of lymphatic diastolic diameter following changes in transmural pressure has not been studied. The lymphangion pump is often described using cardiac analogies. However, since an active system empties into another active system in a lymphatic vessel, the analogy cannot characterize the principles governing optimal lymphatic vessel function. Furthermore, to optimize lymph flow there is also a need to characterize the lymphatic network structure. To characterize the transient diameter response of lymphatic segment, we used post-nodal bovine mesenteric lymphangions in an isobaric preparation and measured the diameter response to a step change in pressure. An immediate active reduction in enddiastolic diameter with each incremental increase in pressure was observed. To identify the principles governing optimal lymphatic vessel function, we applied the result obtained from optimizing the interaction of the heart-arterial system to measured lymphangion pressure-volume relationships. We assumed that the slope of end systolic pressure-volume relationship (Emax) is equal to the slope of end-diastolic relationship (Emin) above a cutoff pressure and Emax>Emin below the cutoff pressure. Unlike the heart, we found that stroke work is not optimized when Emax = Emin. However, there is a region where lymph flow is insensitive to changes in transmural pressure. To characterize the lymphatic network structure, we used an approximation of time-varying elastance model. We found there is an optimal length for the lymphangion when it produces maximal flow. To develop a fractal network model, we determined the ratio of radius and ratio of length of lymphangion at a confluence. Using conservation of mass and certain simplifying assumptions, we showed that the ratio of radius, as well as ratio of length of upstream lymphangion, to the downstream lymphangion at confluences is 1.26.

The focus of this thesis is to investigate the role of voice pitch (the perception of fundamental frequency and/or corresponding harmonics) and apparent vocal tract length (VTL-the perception of the vocal tract resonances i.e. formant frequencies) in perceptions of trustworthiness and other related social attributions. Past research has found that women trust men with relatively higher pitched voices as long-term romantic partners. People with relatively higher pitched voices are also judged as more cooperative than people with relatively lower pitched voices. However, women choose men with relatively lower pitched voices when asked to select which leaders are more trustworthy and make better economic decisions. In study 1, I used “The Trust Game” to determine whether women trust men with higher or lower pitched voices to evenly divide a sum of money. Women trusted men with relatively higher pitched voices more often. Thus, even though men with lower pitched voices are more often elected to office, and are CEOs of larger companies that make more money, women trust men with relatively low pitched voices less than men with relatively high pitched voices to equitably distribute money. Surprisingly, no studies have examined the relationship between VTL and trust, but one recent study examined the relationship between VTL and perceptions of cooperation. In study 2, I was the first to test the role of voice pitch and VTL on perceptions of trust and cooperation. In general, people with higher frequency voices (high pitch and a shorter VTL) were relatively more cooperative and trustworthy than people with lower frequency voices (low pitch and a longer VTL). Despite correlations between the effects of voice frequency manipulations on ratings of trustworthiness and cooperativeness, the amount to which people thought pitch and VTL affected cooperativeness and trustworthiness was different enough to determine that these two constructs overlap, but are not synonymous. Together, these studies show that despite the fact that masculine men tend to win political elections and run large and successful companies, they are viewed as uncooperative and untrustworthy. Future research should investigate if those who win political elections and run successful companies do so because they keep more than their fair share of money.

▼ Patients can face adverse events after colorectal surgery in a hospital. These adverse events include 30-day readmission, 30-day mortality, prolonged length of stay and complications after surgery. Predicting these events based on clinical and demographic data is critical for pre and post-operative surgical intervention. In this thesis, we investigate predictive analytics for adverse events for patients undergoing colorectal surgery. For the design, development and implementation of predictive analytics we use real life data provided by a prominent hospital system located in the Northeastern region of Pennsylvania. To protect the proprietary aspects of the data, all the variables in the dataset are de-identified. The longitudinal dataset consists of 8150 original records and 322 attributes from August 2006 to October 2014. In addition, the data related to the provider’s behaviors with respect to colorectal surgery is also used. The first step in this thesis addresses data cleaning and filling in the missing values. We use several statistical methods to perform these tasks. As the attribute set is large using subjective as well as statistical means we reduce the dimensionality to 120 attributes. We investigate four methodologies, including Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting Method and Logistic Regression for predictive analytics. We construct regression models with the four methodologies, the models are either tree-based or classifying models. After the models are constructed, we conduct comparative analysis of the methodologies based on certain performance criteria, and select the most accurate model for further study. We find that Gradient Boosting Method (GBM) has the best performance. We examine the most important predictors in the selected model, look for predictor features, and investigate intrinsic implications behind the predictors. Our conclusions point to the fact that patient’s health condition and surgery information are the most important factors leading to adverse events. We suggest areas of future research. Most of the past work in colorectal surgical adverse event prediction deals with retrospective data collected from several hospitals across several years. In addition, a fairly large number of specific inputs from surgeons are also used. This puts considerable burden on the hospital staff to collect data. Our model is developed using the data from only one hospital, with the general inputs from the physicians and surgeons that are normally entered. This simplifies the data collection and usage. The results we have obtained are comparable to the national statistics from the earlier models. However, we need to study several hospitals to validate our model and evaluate its efficacy.

▼ In this dissertation, the Phase-Type (PH) distribution is studied with consideration of covariates to model and investigate the patient flow information. The length-of-stay (LOS) data of patients with distinct diseases are analyzed in terms of the complete hospital stay or the visit in each department respectively. By PH distribution modeling, the patients clustering and the influences of each covariate are obtained. Comparisons and evaluations among different diseases, different LOS groups, distinct transfer routes and impacts of covariates are implemented. First, we apply the Coxian PH distributions for fitting the patient flow information collected in a hospital of patients of distinct diseases, including headache, liveborn infant, alcohol abuse, acute upper respiratory infection, and secondary cataract. Based on the results obtained by fitting Coxian PH distributions to the LOS data, the patients can be divided into different groups. The sharing common characteristics, readmission rates, and discharge destinations are evaluated and compared among different disease. Second, we use the Coxian PH distributions with covariates to fit the patient flow information of both geriatric patients and Alcohol use disorder (AUD) patients collected in a hospital. The influences of the covariates of age, gender, admission type, admit source, and financial class on LOS are assessed and compared through Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms. The estimated distributions can classify those patients into different LOS groups and the estimated coefficients and the statistical significance of covariate effects are also achieved and analyzed. Last, the Coxian PH distributions are integrated in an aggregated Markov chain to model the sequences of LOS in each department that geriatric patients visit during their hospital stay. The aggregated PH distribution is fitted to the intra-hospital transfer flow route by using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) to obtain the transition rates within each department and transfer rates among departments. The associations between shared characteristics and the transfer routes are also verified. We conclude that the analysis of associations between LOS groups and readmission rates can help avoid waste of sources. The top predictors are also studied with respect to practical reasons, which may provide guideline for decision-making and resource allocation in healthcare field. The intra-transfer routes within a hospital are associated with the characteristics of patients at admission and discharge.
