Infrared Actuation-Induced Simultaneous Reconfiguration Of Surface Color And Morphology For Soft Robotics, Seyedali Banisadr, Jian Chen
Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Articles
Cephalopods, such as cuttlefish, demonstrate remarkable adaptability to the coloration and texture of their surroundings by modulating their skin color and surface morphology simultaneously, for the purpose of adaptive camouflage and signal communication. Inspired by this unique feature of cuttlefish skins, we present a general approach to remote-controlled, smart films that undergo simultaneous changes of surface color and morphology upon infrared (IR) actuation. The smart film has a reconfigurable laminated structure that comprises an IR-responsive nanocomposite actuator layer and a mechanochromic elastomeric photonic crystal layer. Upon global or localized IR irradiation, the actuator layer exhibits fast, large, and reversible strain …
The Emerging Role Of Two-Pore Domain Potassium Channels In Breast Cancer, Keith A. Dookeran, Auer Paul
The Emerging Role Of Two-Pore Domain Potassium Channels In Breast Cancer, Keith A. Dookeran, Auer Paul
Public Health Faculty Articles
Potassium ion channels are transmembrane proteins that selectively facilitate ion flow down an electrochemical gradient between intracellular and extracellular environments. There is accumulating evidence which suggest that potassium channel protein activity is important in the pathophysiology of cancer, and associations of the two-pore domain family of potassium channels and breast cancer are currently emerging. The aim of this review is to summarize data on mechanisms of action related to oncogenic properties and examine the role of the two-pore domain family in breast cancer.

Understanding Public Health Professional Socialization And Professional Identity Formation Experiences, Jennifer M. Freiheit
Understanding Public Health Professional Socialization And Professional Identity Formation Experiences, Jennifer M. Freiheit
Theses and Dissertations
Public health is in unstable times with funding decreasing, an exodus of retirees, and a paradigm shift with emergency preparedness and response critically changing the identity of the profession. Public health is at a grave trigger point where if something is not done, the entire field may be in jeopardy of caving in to consolidations, poor succession planning, and a field that cannot work toward the health of the public if they themselves are not operating well. It is commonly accepted that orientation practices exist in public health agencies, but the orientations that currently exist lack transfer to full socialization …

On this front, increasing electrical power generation through a waste heat recovery remains one of the highly promising venues of the …
The Correlation Of Size Of Core Network And Frequency Of Contacts With Agitation And Positive Affect In Elderly With Dementia, Amal Ali Al Ghassani
The Correlation Of Size Of Core Network And Frequency Of Contacts With Agitation And Positive Affect In Elderly With Dementia, Amal Ali Al Ghassani
Theses and Dissertations
In the country of Oman, care needs of older adults are primarily provided by family members in the home. The study was guided by socioemotional selectivity theory, the environmental vulnerability hypothesis, and the need-driven dementia-compromised behavior theories. The central premise was that the size of the person’s activities of daily living (ADL) core network and frequency of contact with the ADL core network would predict agitation and affect. A smaller core network with a higher frequency of contact may be better at identifying and treating the person’s unmet needs. A secondary premise was that the emotional closeness of the core …

Feasibility Of A Social Emotional Parenting Curriculum Applied In An Early Head Start Home Visitation Program With Mexican Immigrant Families, Patricia J. Ealy
Theses and Dissertations
Early social-emotional development is influenced by the experiences of the child especially the parent-child interaction and relationship. Influences on the parent’s ability to provide nurturing enriched parenting experiences include the parent’s past encounters with how they were parented. The Building Early Emotional Skills curriculum (BEES) has a component of self-awareness exercises that assist parents to understand personal parenting behaviors and attitudes. The BEES framework is an infant mental health model with a specific focus on early social emotional development. Curricula related specifically to early child social-emotional development based on an infant mental health model is limited in the literature. However, …
Association Of Childhood Blood Lead Levels With Firearm Violence Perpetration And Victimization, Lindsay Rae Emer
Association Of Childhood Blood Lead Levels With Firearm Violence Perpetration And Victimization, Lindsay Rae Emer
Theses and Dissertations
Over 10,000 Americans are killed in firearm homicides each year, and an additional 40,000 are injured in nonfatal shootings. There is a significant public health need to identify risk factors that can be modified to prevent firearm violence. Environmental lead exposure is a demonstrated neurotoxicant which causes behavior changes that are known to be criminogenic. More recent research has demonstrated that homicides and nonfatal shootings differ by the circumstances that lead to the shootings (i.e. gang, domestic violence, arguments) and aggregating them could lead to biased results. Although studies have found a relationship between childhood lead exposure and criminal behaviors, …
Exploring Resiliency And Family Functioning For Families Of Premature Infants, Karen Schnackel Gralton
Exploring Resiliency And Family Functioning For Families Of Premature Infants, Karen Schnackel Gralton
Theses and Dissertations
The impact of a premature birth on a family is a crisis requiring a process of adjustment and adaptation. The Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment and Adaptation (RMFAA) describe this process for families and was the conceptual framework for the current study. A modified model of the RMFAA was used to explore family resiliency for Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Non-Hispanic White (NHW) families of premature infants through the identification of protective and recovery factors. The aims of the current study explored the association between protective and recovery factors and family functioning.
Biological mothers of premature infants (< 37 weeks gestational age) and one other family member, who identified as either NHB or NHW were recruited in five separate Level III or IV neonatal intensive care units. Fifty-five NHW (N = 110) and 24 NHB (N = 48) families completed five scales that assessed their use of protective and recovery factors and their perception of family functioning. Mean scores for family functioning indicated that most family members viewed themselves as functioning effectively at that point in time.

The University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, 2017
Under the Supervision of Associate Professor Amy E. Harley
High level of social engagement has been associated with improved health outcomes. Its capacity to influence one’s health has led to the conception of Berkman’s social relationship model which hypothesizes that health is impacted by social relationship through a series of causal processes that begin at the macro-social level (upstream factors) to micro-psychobiological processes (downstream factors). Social engagement …

Design And Implementation Of A True Decentralized Autonomous Control Architecture For Microgrids, Abedalsalam Ahmed Bani-Ahmed
Design And Implementation Of A True Decentralized Autonomous Control Architecture For Microgrids, Abedalsalam Ahmed Bani-Ahmed
Theses and Dissertations
Microgrids can serve as an integral part of the future power distribution systems. Most microgrids are currently managed by centralized controllers. There are two major concerns associated with the centralized controllers. One is that the single controller can become performance and reliability bottleneck for the entire system and its failure can bring the entire system down. The second concern is the communication delays that can degrade the system performance. As a solution, a true decentralized control architecture for microgrids is developed and presented. Distributing the control functions to local agents decreases the possibility of network congestion, and leads to the …
The Influence Of Hierarchy Steepness On Cooperation: A Comparison Between Captive Japanese Macaques And Black-Handed Spider Monkeys, Sean Ryan Draxler
The Influence Of Hierarchy Steepness On Cooperation: A Comparison Between Captive Japanese Macaques And Black-Handed Spider Monkeys, Sean Ryan Draxler
Theses and Dissertations
Non-human primates often live in social groups that form hierarchies, which can be either egalitarian or despotic. Despotic non-human primate groups are characterized by the ability of dominant members to frequently win dyadic conflicts against subordinates, and egalitarian primate groups are characterized by an unclear ranking of dominance. Non-human primates will often cooperate with each other within their social groups. Cooperation can be defined as the sharing of food, grooming, and formation of alliances. In a comparative study between bonobos (Pan paniscus) and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), it was suggested that hierarchy steepness is a good predictor of sharing between unrelated …

Design And Modeling Of Fiber Optical Current Sensor Based On Magnetostriction, Suha Mubarak Lasassmeh
Theses and Dissertations
A novel fiber optical current sensor (FOCS) which is based on a giant magnetostrictive material, Terfenol-D (T-D) is modeled and prototyped. Several experiments have been conducted to validate the expected results. Magnetostriction is defined as the change in dimensions of a material under the influence of an external magnetic field. The cause of the change in length is due to the rotation and re-orientation of the small magnetic domains in the magnetostrictive material. The magnetostriction of Terfenol-D is modeled and investigated using several software packages. Here, a magnetostriction-based FOCS using a Terfenol-D/epoxy composite is investigated. Particularly, the FOCS is based …

With the smart grid initiatives in recent years, the electric power grid is rapidly evolving into a complicated and interconnected cyber-physical system. Unfortunately, the wide deployment of cutting-edge communication, control and computer technologies in the power system, as well as the increasing terrorism activities, make the power system at great risk of attacks from both cyber and physical domains. It is pressing and meaningful to investigate the plausible attack scenarios and develop efficient methods for defending the power system against them.
To defend the power grid, it is critical to first study how the attacks could happen and affect the …
Star Formation Density And Galactic Outflows At Z~2, Matthew Coon
Star Formation Density And Galactic Outflows At Z~2, Matthew Coon
Theses and Dissertations
Galactic-scale outflows of gas play a significant role in galaxy evolution. They push gas to larger radii, slowing the star formation rate near the center of the galaxy, and increasing it at larger radii. Eventually, these outflows can expel the gas from the galaxy, depositing metals into the intergalactic medium, and limiting star formation in the galaxy. Galaxies from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) and 3D- Hubble Space Telescope (3D-HST) Survey were used in order to measure the velocities of galactic outflows from the KBSS spectra, and the grism spectra from the 3D- HST survey were used in order …
Wording Matters: The Impact Of Disability Identification In Post-Secondary Education, Jacqueline Marie Love
Wording Matters: The Impact Of Disability Identification In Post-Secondary Education, Jacqueline Marie Love
Theses and Dissertations
Background. The prevalence of students with disabilities (SWD) in postsecondary education has increased over the last 30 years. Moreover, the literature suggests that prevalence statistics may be gross underestimations since large percentages of students have not disclosed their disability to the university they attend. This could have significant negative outcomes. When students do not disclose, the university is less able to accommodate their individual academic needs, resulting in poor academic achievement and even failure to obtaining a degree. Inaccurate identification of SWD also impacts the accuracy of demographic information used to interpret educational research, inform educational policy and can erode …
