▼ Significant amounts of uncertainty owing to both modeling decisions and inher-
ent randomness are present in simulating the material and geometric nonlinear
response of structural systems to extreme loading. Computing the
sensitivity of
structural response with respect to model parameters indicates which parameters
have the largest affect on the response, which can in some cases be more important
to an engineer than only the deterministic response. Considering the large num-
ber of parameters in a structural model, accurate and efficient response
sensitivity
computations, or gradients of the structural response, are required for nonlinear
structural reliability, optimization, and system identification analyses. Response
sensitivity for geometric nonlinear finite element analysis are presented including a
geometrically-nonlinear displacement based-beam column element formulation, the
displacement control nonlinear static solution method, and the corotational trans-formation of space frame finite elements. The direct differentiation method (DDM)
is used to derive the response
sensitivity equations for the aforementioned formu-
lations. The response
sensitivity equations for geometric nonlinear displacement-
based beam-column element are formulated in the deformed configuration using
Lagrangian strain. The derivation of the
sensitivity equations for the displace-
ment control solution method is performed according to an incremental-iterative
solution strategy. The
sensitivity equations of space frame formulations require
the derivative of the system triads in the deformed configuration according to the
corotational theory and the numerical algorithms for its implementation in a finite
element setting.
The derived equations are implemented in the OpenSees software framework.
To verify the accuracy of the derived equations, standalone
sensitivity analysis
is performed by comparing the response
sensitivity results obtained by the DDM
with those obtained by the finite difference method (FDM). The standalone sen-
sitivity analysis is performed for different element, material, and section models.
Furthermore, the response
sensitivity equations are utilized to perform reliabil-
ity and ranking of importance measures for complex steel and reinforced concrete
structures.

▼ In a proper circuit design procedure, it is important to consider the performance of a circuit when its elements are expected to vary from their nominal values due to various internal and external factors. Performing a
sensitivity analysis on circuit provides deep insight to such a requirement.
The conventional
sensitivity analysis methods catering power electronic circuits need lengthy and computationally demanding simulation effort when the circuit is complex and the number of circuit elements involved is large.
This thesis presents a computationally efficient
sensitivity analysis method which utilizes the salient feature of network-based
sensitivity analysis methods, i.e. less simulation effort. To overcome the applicability limitations of network-based methods on complex power electronic circuits, the proposed method performs
sensitivity analysis on linearized average model of the circuit instead of its original circuit.
The resulting sensitivities derived from proposed method were validated against those derived from a conventional method.

▼ The physical environment affects every individual differently, however past research suggests that certain individuals exhibit a greater susceptibility to environmental factors than the general population (Jawer, 2006). According to Jawer (2006) these environmentally sensitive individuals are also significantly more likely to report paranormal experiences than non-sensitives. The current study set out to test the hypothesis that environmentally sensitive individuals will report more past paranormal experiences as well as more haunt-type experiences in a natural setting. The study also looked at whether subtle differences in electromagnetic fields (EMFs) led to an increase in reported haunt-type experiences among sensitives. Methods: Participants (N=251) completed a questionnaire which categorized them as either environmentally sensitive or non-sensitive and were then led on a guided tour of an allegedly haunted location where they reported any unusual phenomena that they experienced. EMF readings were taken of the rooms visited on the tour and based on those readings the rooms were either designated as ‘High EMF’ rooms or ‘Low EMF’ rooms. Results: Sensitives reported significantly more past paranormal experiences and haunt-type experiences in a natural setting. Overall there were significantly more haunt-type experiences in ‘High EMF’ rooms than ‘Low EMF’ rooms suggesting an association between increased EMFs and reports of haunt-type experiences. Further analysis showed that sensitives reported significantly more haunt-type experiences in ‘High EMF’ rooms than ‘Low EMF’ rooms; however there was no significant difference in reported experiences between rooms among non-sensitives which suggests that sensitives could be picking up on subtle EMF differences leading to an increase in reports of haunt-type experiences.

▼ Personality characteristics can incline a person to imbue aspects of a situation with personal psychological meaning. Because of this, personality traits also influence behavior. Rejection
sensitivity, a dispositional quality defined by the tendency to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and overreact to perceived rejection, is proposed to be a personal quality that guides conflict behavior. By employing a diary study of 100 participants in romantic relationships, the associations between rejection
sensitivity and trait aggression, conflict behaviors, and perception of conflict severity were examined. Hierarchical multivariate linear modeling revealed that rejection
sensitivity and trait aggression were independently related to dominating conflict behavior, and that aggression was related to perceptions of conflict severity. This implies that rejection sensitive individuals’ behavior during conflict is independent of how serious, or trivial, they consider the conflict to be. The findings demonstrate that certain personality characteristics impact conflict behavior more than the perception of conflict severity.

▼ Recently, pavement design has changed from old method based on empirical relation to a new method called Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). It is essential to perform a detailed
sensitivity analysis of MEPDG outputs to input variables. In particular, MEPDG inputs need to be classified based on their influence on MEPDG outputs for New Mexico pavement conditions. In this study,
sensitivity analyses are performed to identify a list of input variables that have significant impacts on the MEPDG outputs considering New Mexico pavement conditions.
Sensitivity analyses are performed in two steps. In the first step, a preliminary
sensitivity analysis is carried out by varying one input variable at a time while keeping the other inputs constant. The purpose of the preliminary
sensitivity analysis is to prepare a short-list of significant input variables out of more than hundreds of variables in MEPDG. In the second step,
sensitivity analyses are performed using advanced statistical approaches that consider interactions among the input variables. Parametric procedures such as tests for nonrandomness in scatterplots, linear and nonlinear regression analyses, and nonparametric procedures such as multivariate adaptive regression spline, gradient boosting machine are employed to identify and rank the significant input variables. Results show that predicted pavement performances are sensitive to traffic input variables such as Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic (AADTT) and percent of trucks in design lane. Both asphalt surface layer and total rutting are shown to be the most severe cases among all distresses for New Mexico pavements. Both AC and total rutting are highly sensitive to AADTT, percent of trucks in design lane, and bottom AC layer thickness. Outputs such as terminal IRI, longitudinal cracking, and alligator cracking are highly sensitive to bottom AC layer thickness. MEPDG outputs are also sensitive to HMA mix properties such as thickness, percent air void, binder content and PG grade. Longitudinal and transverse cracking are sensitive to base course material type, modulus and thickness. Depth of water table did not affect the MEPDG outputs at all. Transverse cracking and total rutting are sensitive to subgrade modulus, material properties, and gravimetric water content. MEPDG predicted outputs are found to be moderately sensitive to percent of trucks in design direction, traffic growth factor, and base thickness. Operational speed, depth of ground water table, and design lane width have very little to no effect to MEPDG predicted distresses. Finally, a list of significant variables is made for New Mexico pavement conditions. The list of significant inputs can be useful to pavement engineers to optimize pavement designs and analyze performances as well as for local calibration of MEPDG.

▼ In this work we consider the dependence of solutions to a partial differential equations system on its data. The problem of interest is a coupled model of nonlinear flow and transport in porous media, with applications, e.g. to environmental modeling. The model of flow we consider is known as the non-Darcy model, and its solutions: the velocity, and pressure unknowns, depend on the coefficients of permeability and inertia, and other data such as boundary conditions. In turn, the transport solutions depend on the velocity of the fluid, and on boundary and initial conditions. Furthermore, one can be interested in a particular quantity computable from the flow and transport solutions, and represented by a functional. In this work we evaluate rigorously the
sensitivity, i.e., the derivative, of the solutions, or of the quantity of interest, upon the data.
Due to its delicate nature, the
sensitivity is evaluated either in a direct way, called Forward
Sensitivity, or via an adjoint method, which only uses a variational form. Our first contribution is that we find a way to find the
sensitivity for the coupled flow and transport model without having to solve multiple flow problems. Second, we prove the well-posedness of the flow problem, and set up the numerical approximation using the framework similar to that of expanded mixed finite element methods.
Next, the numerical approximation of the problem leads to a nonlinear system of discrete equations, which is difficult to solve. To aid in solving this system, we propose to take advantage of
sensitivity analysis, which is used in a novel way within a homotopy framework. The theoretical results in this thesis are illustrated with numerical simulations. The code, in Python, for the examples is provided.

More Intense Affective Experiences, Less Intense Affective Forecasts:Affective Forecasters Overestimate the Influence of Outcome Specifications.

▼ It is generally assumed that the hedonic response to an outcome is a joint function of the desirability of the outcome and the likelihood of its occurrence. Losses are almost never pleasurable, but people believe that losses hurt less when they are small and/or expected than when they are large and/or unexpected. Conversely, gains are almost always pleasurable, but are more so when they are large and/or unexpected than when they are small and/or expected. When consumers decide which potential losses to avoid and which potential gains to pursue, their decisions depend on predictions of their hedonic responses to those potential future gains and losses. Thus, an important question is whether affective forecasters are able to accurately predict the extent to which their hedonic responses to an outcome are influenced by the magnitude of the outcome and the probability of its occurrence. This dissertation proposes that affective forecasters overestimate the extent to which their happiness with an outcome depends on its magnitude and its probability of occurrence because of differences in affective intensity between affective forecasters and experiencers. The hedonic experience of an outcome is typically more affectively intense than the simulation of that outcome upon which the affective forecasts for it are based. Intense experiences capture attentional resources required to consider and incorporate outcome specifications into judgment. Consequently, hedonic experiences are less influenced by outcome specifications than are affective forecasts of those experiences. The present research establishes that affective forecasters are more sensitive to the magnitude of an outcome and its probability of occurrence than experiencers. It provides support for the theorized account that the asymmetry in affective intensity evoked by the act of making affective forecasts and having the corresponding hedonic experiences leads to different attention and
sensitivity to these outcome specifications. The difference in
sensitivity to outcome specifications between forecasters and experiencers can lead to under-and overestimation of emotional response: High magnitude and low probability beget overestimation of future emotional response, whereas low magnitude and high probability beget underestimation.

▼ Parental anxiety is a well-known factor that contributes to the development of anxiety in children. However, little is known about how specific parental factors influence the development and trajectory of childhood anxiety. There is also a paucity of research on separation anxiety disorder specifically. Complicating matters, children who suffer from clinically significant separation anxiety tend to be younger and thus it is harder to obtain accurate information from this age group. The purpose of the present study was to determine the mechanism through which parental factors such as somatization, anxiety sensitivity, and separation anxious behaviors might influence the development of anxiety in young children (specifically separation anxiety). As a result, 50 children and their mothers completed measures asking about demographic variables, internalizing problems, anxiety sensitivity, and somatization. The results showed that only parental separation anxious behaviors uniquely influenced separation anxious behaviors in children. Results and implications of these findings may be used to direct further examination of influential parental factors and inform treatment by targeting anxious parental behaviors.

▼ A spectrally integrated response method is proposed for analyzing transmission data from nanohole array sensors. This method increases the
sensitivity by reducing noise and taking more information from the spectrum for bulk and surface sensing. Results from both real experiments and idealized simulations are presented. Comparison with two other methods- peak transmission wavelength shift and a normalized difference integrated response method are shown. This method shows improved sensing performance which can be exploited in future.
Further improvement in sensing using nanohole arrays is explored by improving the instrumentation of the sensor system. Design parameters of the nanohole arrays for transmission at two different operating wavelengths were examined by using finite difference time domain simulations. Focused ion beam milling was used to fabricate chosen arrays. A microfluidic chip with the embedded nanohole array sensor was used to introduce different solutions for bulk chemical sensing. Intensity measurements were taken with a high speed CMOS camera. Sensing results using this system with possible improvements shows promise for future sensing applications.

▼ Marked differences in the
sensitivity among fish life-stages and species have been observed for cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu), two contaminants of particular concern in Canadian surface waters. White sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) are highly sensitive to metals such as Cu. Moreover, white sturgeon have also shown significant life-stage-specific differences in
sensitivity to metals. When compared to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), white sturgeon are more sensitive to waterborne acute Cu exposure, whereas the trend in
sensitivity is reversed with Cd exposure. The mechanisms of life-stage- and species-specific differences in
sensitivity among fish species are not well understood, especially for data-poor, non-model species such as white sturgeon. Hence, the overall objective of this study was to characterize the physiological, biochemical and molecular drivers of species-specific differences in the
sensitivity of white sturgeon and rainbow trout to Cd and Cu over three different early life-stages.
During acute waterborne exposure to Cd and Cu, the most important mechanisms of toxicity are the disruption of calcium (Ca) and sodium (Na) homeostasis, respectively. Therefore, I compared the effect of Cd and Cu on uptake and whole-body levels of Ca and Na, respectively, between rainbow trout and white sturgeon across multiple early life-stages. I showed that the greater
sensitivity of white sturgeon to Cu was explained by greater reduction of its sodium Na uptake compared to rainbow trout, when exposed to same waterborne Cu concentration. Similarly, higher
sensitivity of rainbow trout to Cd was explained by significantly higher reduction in Ca uptake relative to white sturgeon. With both Cu and Cd, reduction in whole-body ion uptake resulted in reduction of whole-body levels of Na and Ca, respectively, and the response level was significantly higher in the more sensitive species.
Additionally, I analysed Cd/Cu accumulation, Cd/Cu induced oxidative stress, metallothionein and heat shock protein responses and compared these parameters between rainbow trout and white sturgeon across multiple early life-stages. Species-specific differences in these parameters were evaluated because they are known to be important pathways through which Cd and Cu cause toxicity. In larval and swim-up life-stages, white sturgeon showed greater Cu-induced oxidative damage (lipid hydroperoxide (LPO) induction) than in rainbow trout, which explained the greater
sensitivity of white sturgeon to Cu in early life-stages. Similarly, exposure to Cd showed that rainbow trout, the more sensitive species to Cd, had significantly greater LPO induction at the swim-up and juvenile life-stages as compared to LPO levels in the respective life-stages of white sturgeon. Mechanisms such as antioxidant enzymes, antioxidant molecules, metal accumulation and metallothionein could only partially explain the patterns observed in Cd or Cu induced LPO levels with no consistent response across life-stages. Regardless of the underlying mechanism, LPO seems to be a…

▼ In many dry crop production regions of the world, food-insecure farmers rely on sorghum because of its drought tolerance and ability to yield with low inputs. In Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa, these farmers grow photoperiod sensitive (PS) sorghums, which match natural rainfall patterns with the varieties’ growth and development so that they grow in the rainy season and mature into the dry season. Hybrids, despite their proven yield increases, have not been adopted in these regions. While there are several reasons for the absence of hybrids in these systems, an important factor is the complicated logistics of producing photoperiod-sensitive hybrids and the poor seed production systems in the region. To bypass these limitations, PS hybrids were created from photoperiod-insensitive (PI) parents, allowing the seed to be produced anywhere in the world. The objectives of the study were to 1) assess PS hybrids for heterosis and grain quality and 2) review and assess the potential of this seed production system. Results indicate that grain yield heterosis is present in PS hybrids at high enough levels to be economically viable. In addition, variability for grain quality and for grain yield suggests that further breeding progress can be made. Five hybrids have been chosen for further testing based upon their high yields.

▼ The hydrology of high-elevation, mountainous regions is poorly represented in Earth Systems Models (ESMs). In addition to regulating downstream water delivery, these ecosystems play an important role in the storage and land-atmosphere exchange of water. Water balances are sensitive to the amount of water stored in the snowpack (snow water equivalent, SWE), as much of Colorado’s water supply is derived from snowmelt. In an effort to resolve this hydrologic gap in ESMs, this study seeks to better understand how uncertainty in both model parameters and forcing affect simulated snow processes. To better understand parameter uncertainty and asses model performance, this study conducts a
sensitivity analysis, using active subspaces, on model inputs (meteorological forcing and static parameters) for both evergreen needleleaf and bare ground land cover types. Observations from an AmeriFlux tower at the Niwot Ridge research site are used to force an integrated single-column hydrologic model, ParFlow-CLM. This study found that trees can mute the effects of sublimation causing the evergreen needleleaf model to be sensitive primarily to hydrologic forcing; humidity in the winter, radiation and air temperature in the summer months. However, bare ground simulations were most sensitive to snow parameters along with radiation as these are unblocked by canopy. The bare ground model is most sensitive to overall changes to the linear combination of input parameters, which means radiation observations and snow parameterizations are of great importance for obtaining accurate hydrologic model results. Humidity measurements are also important, but the change in SWE of the evergreen needleleaf simulations was less than that of the bare ground simulations.

▼ Introduction: Although pulpal necrosis can be associated with orthodontically treated ectopic maxillary canine, the literature is scarce on this topic. Objective: This retrospective study aimed to investigate if ectopic maxillary canines were more predisposed to lack of
sensitivity due to orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The sample was comprised of 20 patients (13 females and 7 males) with a mean age of 21.7 years. Forty maxillary canines were divided into two groups: ectopic (n=26) and non-ectopic (n=14). The post-treatment pulpal assessment included thermal, electrical, and percussion tests. Initial panoramic radiographs were used to assess the axial angulation of the ectopic canines and their linear distance to the occlusal plane. A clinical examination and a questionnaire were used to collect data on 14 background variables capable of influencing on pulp status. Results: There was no influence from axial angulation (p=0.0661) and linear distance (p=0.4840), nevertheless rather from duration of traction (p=0.0437). The mixed-effects logistic regression showed no statistically significant difference between ectopic and non-ectopic canines with regard to pulpal
sensitivity (p=0.0744). From a clinical standpoint, 12 teeth (46.15%) presented with lack of
sensitivity in the ectopic group whereas only two (14.29%) had the same outcome in the control group. Of the 14 background variables, only four would be worth pursuing further research: initial location, presence of gingival recession, bracket slot size, and history of spontaneous pain. Conclusion: Although further studies are still necessary, lack of pulpal
sensitivity can be a side effect when treating ectopic maxillary canines.

▼ Introduction: While insulin resistance and obesity coexist, some obese individuals remain insulin-sensitive. We examined phenotypic and metabolic factors associated with insulin
sensitivity in both muscle and liver in obese individuals. Methods: Sixty-four non-diabetic obese adults (29 males) underwent hyperinsulinaemic (15 and 80 mU/m2/min)-euglycaemic clamps with deuterated glucose. Top tertile subjects for glucose infusion rate during the high-dose insulin clamp (GIRHI) were assigned Musclesen and those in the lower two tertiles were assigned Muscleres. Secondarily, top tertile subjects for endogenous glucose production (EGP) suppression during the low-dose insulin clamp were deemed Liversen and the remainder Liverres. Clinical and laboratory parameters, muscle sympathetic nervous activity (MSNA) and visceral, subcutaneous, liver and pancreatic fat were compared.Results: Musclesen and Muscleres had similar body mass index and total fat (P ≥ 0.12), but Musclesen had lower HbA1c (P < 0.001) and systolic (P = 0.01) and diastolic (P = 0.03) blood pressure (BP). Despite similar subcutaneous fat (P = 0.83), Musclesen had lower visceral (P < 0.001) and liver (P < 0.001) fat. Liversen had lower visceral (P < 0.01) and liver (P < 0.01) fat and CRP (P=0.02) than Liverres. When subjects were grouped by both GIRHI and EGP suppression, insulin
sensitivity at either muscle or liver conferred apparent protection from the adverse metabolic features that characterized subjects insulin-resistant at both sites. HDL-cholesterol, 1-hour glucose, systolic BP and triglycerides explained 54% of the variance in muscle insulin
sensitivity. In men (but not women), MSNA burst frequency correlated inversely with liver insulin
sensitivity (r = -0.53, P = 0.02) and positively with the C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-19 (r = 0.57, P = 0.006 and r = -0.47, P = 0.03, respectively). Conclusions: Obese subjects who were insulin-sensitive at muscle and/or liver exhibited favourable metabolic features, including lower BP, liver and visceral adiposity. Basal sympathetic nerve activity related to liver insulin
sensitivity in men, but not in women. MSNA associated with the circulating hepatokines CRP and FGF-19, suggesting a potential hepato-endocrine-autonomic axis. This study identifies factors associated with, and possibly contributing to, insulin
sensitivity in obesity.

▼ Noise sensitivity is a condition characterised by an excessive reaction to harmless levels of sound that would not normally affect typically functioning people. Previous research have found that reactions such as the reduction of attention and concentration as well as the presence of medically unexplained common symptoms such as headaches and fatigue appear in sufferers. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether such a class of sound sensitive individuals are affected by exposure to a potentially unpleasant sound source more than a relatively low sound sensitive group of individuals. Forty adults between 18-54 years of age were exposed to a white noise sound stimulus within a soundproof exposure chamber for 45 minutes. The sound pressure level of the sound varied over the course of the exposure session. The dependent variables of the study were perceived intensity, unpleasantness and effect on concentration, symptoms and cognitive strain. After the exposure session, participants were asked to fill in an online survey that included a 21 item Noise Sensitivity Scale. This was used to group the participants accordingly to a low or high NSS group. The high NSS group compared to the low NSS group had higher ratings for unpleasantness and negative effects on concentration after time point four, at which point the noise stimulus had been introduced. No differences were observed in ratings of Intensity of the noise stimulus between groups. The high NSS group also demonstrated higher ratings for symptoms after the noise stimulus had been introduced. In addition they also demonstrated a lower level of improvement for the cognitive task in comparison to the low NSS group. The findings from this study imply that individuals suffering from hyperacusis can be negatively affected by the presence of annoying sound stimuli. Hyperacusis can mean that sounds can become unpleasant to sufferers as well as potentially affecting their ability to concentrate.
Ljudkänslighet är ett tillstånd som karaktäriseras av en överreaktion på ofarliga ljudnivåer, som normalt inte skulle påverka majoriteten av befolkningen. Tidigare forskning har funnit symptom så som minskad uppmärksamhet och koncentration, samt medicinskt oförklarade symptom som huvudvärk och utmattning förekommer hos drabbade. Syftet med den nuvarande studien var att undersöka hur vida ljudkänsliga personer påverkas mer av en potentiellt obehaglig ljudkälla än en grupp av icke-ljudkänsliga. Fyrtio vuxna mellan 18-54 år exponerades för vitt brus under experimentet. Beroende variabler var upplevd intensitet, obehag, effekt på koncentration, symptom, och kognitiv belastning. Efter experimentet fyllde deltagarna i en online-enkät som inkluderade 21 item Noise Sensitivity Scale. Denna skala användes för att gruppera deltagarna i en hög och en låg NSS-grupp. Jämfört med den låga NSS-gruppen, hade den höga NSS-gruppen högre skattningar av obehag och negativa effekter på koncentrationen efter tidpunkt fyra, då ljud stimulit introducerades.

▼ Based on the integrated sensitivity method, we introduce the concept of controlled sensitivity, which enables the sensitivity of a geophysical survey to be focused on a specific target area of sea bottom formation. In particular, we find the optimal parameters of the data weighing, which make it possible to increase the sensitivity of the survey within a specific area, where a potential geological target (e.g., a hydrocarbon reservoir) may be located. We demonstrate this approach with a numerical study of the sensitivity of the marine controlled-source electromagnetic (MCSEM) surveys, developing a numerical method and computer codes for constructing one-dimensional and twodimensional controlled sensitivity for given a priori sensitivity models. This method represents an important technique to increase the resolution of MCSEM data with respect to a specific target area.

▼ This research presents new physics-based methods to estimate predictive uncertainty stemming from uncertainty in the material opacities in radiative transfer computations of key quantities of interest (QOIs). New methods are needed because it is infeasible to apply standard uncertainty-propagation techniques to the O(105) uncertain opacities in a realistic simulation. The new approach toward uncertainty quantification applies the uncertainty analysis to the physical parameters in the underlying model used to calculate the opacities. This set of uncertain parameters is much smaller (O(102)) than the number of opacities. To further reduce the dimension of the set of parameters to be rigorously explored, we use additional screening applied at two different levels of the calculational hierarchy: first, physics-based screening eliminates the physical parameters that are unimportant from underlying physics models a priori; then,
sensitivity analysis in simplified versions of the complex problem of interest screens out parameters that are not important to the QOIs. We employ a Bayesian Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (BMARS) emulator for this
sensitivity analysis. The high dimension of the input space and large number of samples test the efficacy of these methods on larger problems. Ultimately, we want to perform uncertainty quantification on the large, complex problem with the reduced set of parameters. Results of this research demonstrate that the QOIs for target problems agree at for different parameter screening criteria and varying sample sizes. Since the QOIs agree, we have gained confidence in our results using the multiple screening criteria and sample sizes.

▼ Rationale: There is evidence that the serotonin (5-HT) deficits and related
cognitive and mood impairments caused by +/-3,4-
methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) may be mediated by
neuroadaptations of the 5-HT1A autoreceptor.
Objectives: The increase in
sensitivity of the 5-HT1A autoreceptor caused by highdose,
repeated MDMA treatment was assessed neurochemically, by measuring 5-
HTP accumulation, and physiologically, via changes in body temperature.
Methods: Experiment 1 confirmed the effects of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-npropylamino)
tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) (0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 mg/kg s.c.) on 5-
hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) accumulation following 3-hydroxybenzylhydrazine
dihydrochloride (NSD-1015) administration as a valid measure of 5-HT synthesis
and hence 5-HT1A autoreceptor
sensitivity in rats. Experiment 2 performed these
procedures in additional animals, with half receiving MDMA (4x 10 mg/kg i.p. at
2 hour intervals) two weeks before testing. Body temperature changes due to the
8-OH-DPAT hypothermic response were tested using a rectal probe. Experiment
2b repeated the procedures in additional groups with lower doses of 8-OH-DPAT
(0.0125 and 0.00625 mg/kg s.c.).
Results: No significant changes in 5-HTP accumulation levels or changes in the
hypothermic response to 8-OH-DPAT were found between MDMA pretreated
rats and controls in Experiments 2 and 2b. Moreover, there was no substantial
evidence of expected 5-HT deficits due to high-dose MDMA treatment.
Conclusion: The results do not indicate an increase in
sensitivity of the 5-HT1A
autoreceptor, and hence the original hypothesis is not supported. However, there
were a number of methodological issues, as indicated by the lack of MDMAinduced
5-HT deficits, which prevent a firm conclusion from being drawn. Future
research is outlined to overcome these issues.

▼ Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the differential effects of breastfeeding practice and having an intention to breastfeed (during pregnancy) on a mother’s maternal responsiveness to her infant after birth. Methods: Using longitudinal data from a subsample of 962 mother-infant dyads from a UK cohort study (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children), we investigated the influence of intention to breastfeed at 3 months pregnancy and breastfeeding practice and on mother-infant interactions at 12 months after birth. Breastfeeding intent and practice were assessed by questionnaires administered to the mothers. Intention to breastfeed in the first 3 months postpartum was measured at 32 weeks into the pregnancy, while breastfeeding practice (over first 12 months postpartum) was measured retrospectively at 15 months post partum. Results: Using logistic regression analyses, we found that intending to breastfeed at 32 weeks gestation significantly predicted maternal responsiveness, namely that an intention to breastfeed increased the odds of positive maternal responsiveness, independently of breastfeeding practice. However, we found the practice of breastfeeding was not an independent predictor of positive maternal responsiveness once intention to breastfeed was accounted for. Using a life course epidemiology approach we further demonstrated that maternal responsiveness is most positive when both the intention to breastfeed and breastfeeding practice are present. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the first study to report that having the intention to breastfeed an infant is more strongly associated with positive maternal responsiveness than the act of breastfeeding itself. This may suggest that more responsive mothers choose to breastfeed rather than breastfeeding practice directly causing enhanced responsiveness. Further research will be needed to understand the nature of this intention and its relationships with maternal responsiveness. However, the results may also highlight the potential importance of parenting intentions/ preparations during pregnancy for a mothers developing abilities to be responsive to her infant after birth.

The present study examined Facebook use by international students. Two focus group discussions were conducted to explore the reasons international students first decided to use Facebook and the reasons they continue to use Facebook. Data from the focus group discussions was used to develop an online questionnaire. Analysis of the questionnaire data from 84 international students attending the University of Hawaiʻi, Mānoa, the University of Hawaiʻi, Hilo, and Kapi'olani Community College indicated that they used Facebook for communication, professional reasons, and personal reasons, such as self-expression. This study also examined the relationship between the reasons motivating continued Facebook use, extent of Facebook use, and intercultural sensitivity. The reasons for using Facebook predicted the amount of Facebook use. No relationship was found between Facebook use, the reasons for using Facebook, and intercultural sensitivity. Implications were discussed.

▼ As one important kind of sensitive analytical technology, fluorescence method is widely applied in environmental science, materials, medicine pharmacy and nowadays much popularly in cellular biological science, which requires the development of diverse fluorescent sensors to meet various analytical and researching demands. During my Ph.D. study, my work focuses on the development of novel fluorescent sensors for the detection and specific recognition of functional and bio-interesting small molecules and metal ions, and the contents are described in this dissertation using three sections. In the first part, novel fluorescent sensors for the specific recognition of bio-toxic thiophenols have been developed based on ICT and PET mechanism separately. These sensors were designed with an 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamide as the recognition moiety and consequently are able to differentiate thiophenols from bio-active aliphatic thiols such as cysteine in neutral aqueous solution due to their different pKa values. Moreover, the sensor constructed on NBD fluorophore has a long-wavelength emission (> 500 nm) and were employed as the first fluorescent sensor to detect selenocysteine, a special amine acid in body, without interference with other amino acids including similar cysteine. In the second part, we have made our efforts on the detection of explosive peroxides and discovered a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent sensor for peroxy acids. This sensor took advantage of the ring-open mechanism so as to achieve complete 'on-off' switch in the recognition process. Significant fluorescence signals were observed upon addition of peroxy acids while other peroxides and ROS couldn't make influence on the sensor. In the third part, we turned our attention to the bio-interesting metal ions. A turn-on fluorescent sensor has been developed for the detection of bio-active Zn2+ with based on PET mechanism. This sensor is highly selective for Zn2+ and showed no response to numerous metal ions such as K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Co2+, Cd2+, etc. Moreover, we successfully designed an unprecedented chemodosimeter for the detection of highly toxic Hg2+ in the aqueous solution, which came from a unique Hg2+ facilitated desulfurization—lactonization cascade reaction by transforming a weakly fluorescent precursor to a highly fluorescent coumarin derivative.

▼ The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) uses a composite pavement condition index to identify and rank roads for budgeting and scheduling repairs. NMDOT uses an index number called the Pavement Serviceability Index or PSI. A key component of this index number is the Distress Rate (DR) which is comprised of pavement distress severities and extents with a weighting factor assigned for each distress. Until 2013, NMDOT conducted pavement evaluations manually and in 2012 revised how pavement distress data were collected and evaluated. The two pavement distress collection procedures that were altered the most were for transverse cracking and alligator cracking. This research evaluates how sensitive the DR is to the revised data collection procedures. The comparison used a single milepost test section and one evaluator as ground truth data and then varied input values for a single item while holding all of the others constant to see what sort of influence the data had on the DR. The results confirmed that the DR has limited
sensitivity due to the data ranges used for input to the composite DR index.

▼ Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione (TZD) insulin sensitizer approved for use in human type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to improving glycemic control, lipid profiles, and pancreatic β-cell function in diabetics, pioglitazone decreases hepatic triglyceride content in humans with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Cats, like humans, are predisposed by obesity to a form of diabetes characterized by peripheral insulin resistance and insulin secretory defects. They are also prone to a syndrome of severe hepatic triglyceride accumulation (hepatic lipidosis) during periods of decreased food intake. Therapeutic options for both diabetes and hepatic lipidosis in cats are limited, and additional treatment choices would be beneficial. The primary goal of this dissertation was to evaluate the effects of pioglitazone on insulin
sensitivity in obese, insulin-resistant cats, to assess its potential for use in cats with diabetes mellitus. A secondary goal was to explore a technique for noninvasive measurement of liver fat in cats, to facilitate further study of pioglitazone or other agents in feline hepatic lipidosis. First, pharmacokinetic parameters for pioglitazone were determined in lean and obese cats, and data were used to design an oral dosing regimen for further study. Second, 1 and 3 mg/kg dosages of oral pioglitazone (ActosTM) were administered to 12 obese, insulin-resistant cats in a placebo-controlled 3-way crossover design. Effects on insulin
sensitivity were measured using intravenous glucose tolerance testing; additionally, indirect calorimetry was used to detect any species-specific effects of pioglitazone on substrate oxidation or energy expenditure. Third, 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) was performed to determine hepatic fat content in the 12 obese cats and in 6 lean cats using a modification of established human methods, and fat content in liver samples from a separate group of 4 lean and 5 obese cats was also determined by chemical triglyceride assay. Oral pioglitazone was rapidly absorbed in cats, with a median bioavailability of 55% and a median half-life of 3 h. After 6 weeks of daily dosing, 3 mg/kg pioglitazone significantly increased insulin
sensitivity, reduced insulin area under the curve during IVGTT, and lowered serum triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in the obese cats. No changes in substrate oxidation or energy expenditure were observed. Pioglitazone concentrations after chronic dosing suggested dose-dependent absorption characteristics for this drug in cats. In the 12 obese and 6 lean cats, median liver fat percentages determined by 1H MRS (6.8% and 1.3% for the obese and lean cats, respectively), were similar to chemical assay values from the 5 obese and 4 lean cats (median liver fat 6% and 1.7%, respectively). Data obtained from these studies demonstrate a positive effect of 3 mg/kg pioglitazone on insulin
sensitivity and lipid metabolism in obese cats, and suggest that further evaluation of the drug in cats with diabetes mellitus or other metabolic…

▼ This study examined experience and ethnic identity as correlates of multicultural competence in a group of 150 graduate school students attending California State University, Sacramento. The results show ethnic identity and experience to be significant predictors of the Multicultural Knowledge subscale of the California Brief Multicultural Competence Scale (CBMCS; Gamst et al., 2004), and experience to be a significant predictor of the Non-Ethnic Ability subscale. The
Sensitivity to Consumers and Awareness of Cultural Barriers subscales were not significantly predicted by any of the variables of interest. Further analysis show significant compositional differences between respondents identified as European American and those identified as an Ethnic Minority or Multiracial. Reliability for three of the four subscales was good, with adequate reliability on the fourth. Divergent validity for the CBMCS was evidenced through use of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960). Findings are discussed.

▼ This thesis is to derive the customer load composition and the distribution feeder loss by applying the outage management system (OMS). The distribution system network has been obtained by retrieving the component information from OMS database. The topology process and equipment reduction have also been executed to identify the network configuration and to prepare the input data for load flow analysis. With the monthly energy consumption of customers served by each transformer, which has been retrieved from the customer information system (CIS), the hourly loading of each distribution transformer is then derived. By performing the three phase load flow analysis for different types of distribution feeders, the power loss of distribution feeders has been obtained. To solve the effect of temperature change to the power consumption of distribution feeders, the temperature sensitivities of power consumption of each customer class are solved by multiple regression analysis with 95% confidential level. Based on the temperature
sensitivity of the load component and the power loss, the increase of load demand and the power loss due to temperature rise can be estimated. Three practical distribution feeders in Taipei City District of Taipower are selected to demonstrate the impact of temperature change. To the feeder power consumption, it is found that the change of load demand for both residential and commercial customers is more significant as compared to the industrial customers. By applying the OMS for distribution system loss analysis, the feeder power loss can be evaluated according to the hourly loading, which can provide an effective tool to support the assessment of distribution system operation efficiency.

▼ Individual-based models (IBMs) are a relatively new way to perform population modeling of a particular species. In this type of modeling, population level dynamics emerge as the result of actions of individuals, as members of the population make choices regarding habitat due to influence by environmental factors as well as competition from other members of the species.
There are very few, if any,
sensitivity analyses of individual-based ecological models reported in the literature. This is in part due to the recent advent of this type of modeling, as well as the overall complexity of the models themselves. The intention here is to demonstrate a method of analyzing an IBM so that relevant information is provided to the modeler regarding the strong and weak points of the model in the face of the
uncertainty in parameter values, while consuming a minimum of time and computational resources. In addition, this type of information will be useful to resource managers looking to support management decisions, as it will provide indications of how much confidence can be put into model output because the effects of parameter uncertainty on alternative management actions will be included in the ranking with regards to the efficacy of each proposed action. In this fashion, the model will aid resource managers to better understand the risk of making false predictions.
An individual-based model, inSTREAM v.4.05 (Railsback et al, 2004), was used to model a population of northern California coastal cutthroat trout in Little Jones Creek, a third order tributary of the Smith River in northern California. In this model, trout make daily habitat selection choices to maximize their fitness. The decision rules that govern these choices are influenced by the daily conditions within the modeled stream, various mortality risks, as well as factors concerning respiration, growth and reproduction. The uncertainty in 90 parameters of the model was analyzed.
Effects of parameter uncertainty were investigated in a three-phase process. The
first phase ranked the parameters based on a
sensitivity index which reflected how much the uncertainty in parameter value affected model output. In the second phase, the relative level of higher-order interactions amongst the parameters with the highest
sensitivity index was assessed. The third phase tested the robustness of model output, by varying all of the most sensitive parameters simultaneously, when evaluating proposed alterations to the watershed.
The model was found highly sensitive to some parameters, moderately sensitive to most, and not sensitive at all to a few. Although varying two high-
sensitivity parameters at a time did generally have a non-linear effect on model output, the model was able to reproduce the same population trends under multiple parameter perturbation as it did when only calibrated parameter settings were used.

▼ Because dating violence is a pervasive and significant
problem among adolescents, researchers have begun investigating the
various relational processes and gender dynamics that are
associated with it. Two relational constructs that have particular
significance for predicting adolescent dating violence are
rejection
sensitivity and relational insecurity. This study tested
whether relational insecurity mediated the relationship between
rejection
sensitivity and perpetration and victimization of dating
violence in a sample of male and female adolescents. Results
indicated that, for both males and females, relational insecurity
fully mediated the relationship between rejection
sensitivity and
dating violence perpetration, but not the relationship between
rejection
sensitivity and dating violence victimization.
Implications of these findings for theory and intervention are
presented, along with directions for future research.

▼ The carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion
molecule (CEACAM) family of proteins is involved in insulin
signaling, lipogenesis, immunity, and tumor suppression. To
identify a function for CEACAM2, we created a murine model without
expression of the Ceacam2 gene. We report that the male Ceacam2
knockout mice are overall insulin sensitive. This occurs in light
of hyperphagia and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.
Sensitivity is likely due to increased energy expenditure and to
higher rates of insulin secretion. CEACAM2 localization to the
ventromedial hypothalamus suggests a role for CEACAM2 in central
regulation of energy balance and peripheral insulin action and
secretion.
