The Difference Edid Incubation Makes, Charlie Wall-Andrews, Oana Branzei

Dismantling Bias Conference Series

This paper informs allyship in times of crisis. Through positive effects of EDID incubation during one of the most challenging periods for the music industry suggest that social institutions that explicitly promote allyship can mitigate the stronger downside of the pandemic on socially marginalized groups. Because DS Provider's followership can be interpreted as one aspect of allyship, the greater gains in followership relative to non-supported peers also support the critical role of EDID incubation in advancing allyship across gender, racial and socio-economic groups.

Multi-Omics Approach Reveals Dysregulation Of Protein Phosphorylation Correlated With Lipid Metabolism In Mouse Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver, Sora Q. Kim, Rodrigo Mohallem, Jackeline Franco, Kimberly K. Buhman, Kee Hong Kim, Uma K. Aryal

Department of Food Science Faculty Publications

Obesity caused by overnutrition is a major risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Several lipid intermediates such as fatty acids, glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids are implicated in NAFLD, but detailed characterization of lipids and their functional links to proteome and phosphoproteome remain to be elucidated. To characterize this complex molecular relationship, we used a multi-omics approach by conducting comparative proteomic, phoshoproteomic and lipidomic analyses of high fat (HFD) and low fat (LFD) diet fed mice livers. We quantified 2447 proteins and 1339 phosphoproteins containing 1650 class I phosphosites, ofwhich 669 phosphositeswere significantly different between HFD and LFD mice livers. …

A Thermodynamics Analysis For Improvement Of Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies For Space, Meghan T. Thai, Debraliz Isaac Aragones, Justin A. Weibel, David M. Warsinger

School of Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

The carbon dioxide removal assembly (CDRA) has been used for the past two decades to continually remove carbon dioxide (CO2) as part of the air revitalization system onboard the international space station (ISS). The CDRA is an adsorption-based system that relies on sorbent materials that require a significant energy input to be thermally regenerated. Additionally, the system faces challenges in reliability and size/weight, so it is being re-evaluated for viability beyond-lowearth-orbit missions. The CDRA removes CO2 from the cabin air through a cyclical adsorption-desorption process that uses four molecular sieve beds. The main components include two desiccant beds to remove …
