Aortic aneurysms can lead to wall rupture or dissection, which are both deadly occurrences. The risk of developing problematic aneurysms increases with age, making them a growing concern in the USA’s aging population. Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) treatment is highly effective if the TAA is diagnosed in time, however current surgical guidelines catch less than half of fatal TAA cases. Tortuosity (related to vessel length divided by the straight distance between two points of interest) has been proposed as a supplement to diameter based diagnosis of severity of TAA progression. This study aimed to confirm the validity of that proposal …
Assessing Dprestin & Nadc1 (Indy) Interaction On Calcium Oxalate Crystal Formation In A Drosophila Model Of Kidney Stones, Jessica Lin
Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters
Calcium oxalate (CaOx) accounts for >70%of kidney stones, yet why CaOx stones form is poorly understood. While several factors contribute to the stone aggregation and growth, elucidating the roles of oxalate transporters can help demystify this phenomenon. Using a Drosophila model to study the formation and inhibition of CaOx crystals in the fly Malpighian tubule (MT), oxalate transport via dPrestin—the fly Slc26a6 Cl-/Ox2- exchanger was studied using both electrophysiology and MT dissection with CaOx birefringence assays. Here, the fly model suffices as it recapitulates renal oxalate excretion. Additionally, the mammalian dicarboxylate transporter NaDC1 (Indy in Drosophila) …

The Next Generation Of Wireless Cyber-Physical Simulator, Xinghan Wang, Kevin Xu
Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters
In order to make Wireless Cyber-Physical Simulator(WCPS) more accessible to people in the research community, and also to improve its accuracy of representing real industrial models, we worked on the dockerization of WCPS, and implemented the multi-rate feature for WCPS, enabling the simulator to have different network rate and plant rate when running a simulation. We created a new version of WCPS by dockerizing run-time libraries and the TOSSIM server and also embedding the multi-rate feature in the old version. This report includes the introduction and dockerization of WCPS, and shows the results of using the new generation of WCPS …
