Self-Assembly Of Metallo-Supramolecules Based On Terpyridine And Its Derivatives, Yu Yan

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

By studying coordination complexes in nature, such as chlorophyll, heme, and Enterobacter, we have learned that the structures of coordination complexes are closely related to their functions. However, it remains a challenge to achieve elaborate structures and sophisticated functions of complexes through synthetic methods. In the supramolecular chemistry field, coordination-driven self-assembly as a bottom-up approach are used to construct diverse supramolecules with well-defined structures and desired functions. The ways to achieve the goal including (1) rearranging components through coordination; （2）linking metal ions and organic frameworks to complete energy transfer; (3) converting between assembly and disassembly due to detection of stimuli. …

I'Ll Make A Man Out Of You: Precarious Manhood Beliefs Among Heterosexual-Cisgender Men And Queer Men, Serena L. Wasilewski Feb 2023

I'Ll Make A Man Out Of You: Precarious Manhood Beliefs Among Heterosexual-Cisgender Men And Queer Men, Serena L. Wasilewski

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Traditional masculine gender stereotypes often suggest that men should be strong, assertive, and athletic, and these stereotypes promote men’s dominance in society and gender inequality. Endorsement of masculine stereotypes may also contribute to heterosexual men being more prejudiced against queer men. Queer men experience unique difficulties in their quest to abide by social norms defining manhood. Research using the precarious manhood theory suggests that manhood is difficult to obtain and even more challenging to maintain. Given the emerging nature of precarious manhood studies, little is known about young men’s perceptions of the precarious nature of manhood and how this may …

Artificial Intelligence, Basic Skills, And Quantitative Literacy, Gizem Karaali

Numeracy

The introduction in November 2022 of ChatGPT, a freely available language-based artificial intelligence, has led to concerns among some educators about the feasibility and benefits of teaching basic writing and critical thinking skills to students in the context of easily accessed, AI-based cheating mechanisms. As of now, ChatGPT can write pretty convincing student-level prose, but it is still not very good at answering quantitatively rich questions. Therefore, for the time being, the preceding concerns may not be shared by a large portion of the numeracy education community. However, as Google and WolframAlpha are definitely capable of answering standard and some …

Exploring The Relationship Between Quantitative Reasoning Skills And News Habits, Bennett Attaway, John Voiklis, Jay Barchas-Lichtenstein, Eric Hochberg, Jim Hammerman, Uduak Grace Thomas, Nicole Lamarca, Laura Santhanam, Patti Parson

Numeracy

Because people are constantly confronted with numbers and mathematical concepts in the news, we have embarked on a project to create journalism that can support news users’ number skills. But doing so requires understanding (1) journalists’ ability to reason with numbers, (2) other adults’ ability to do so, and (3) the attributes and affordances of news. In this paper, we focus on the relationship between adults’ news habits and their quantitative reasoning skills. We collected data from a sample of 1,200 US adults, testing their ability to interpret statistical results and asking them to report their news habits. The assessment …

Utilizing Neoantigen-Specific Cd4* T Cells And Immune Checkpoint Modulation To Advance Adoptive Cell Therapy With Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes For Metastatic Melanoma Patients, Maclean Scott Hall Jan 2023

Utilizing Neoantigen-Specific Cd4* T Cells And Immune Checkpoint Modulation To Advance Adoptive Cell Therapy With Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes For Metastatic Melanoma Patients, Maclean Scott Hall

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) is a promising immunotherapeutic approach for patients with advanced solid tumors. Metastatic melanoma is a tumor type amenable to immunotherapy in part due to the presence of antigen-specific TIL. These T cells can be activated and expanded for ACT, which has resulted in relatively high rates of clinical responses. While numerous advances have been made, the inclusion of neoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells within TIL infusion products remains underexplored and therefore offers a significant opportunity for progress. Similarly, immune checkpoint inhibitors, specifically PD-1 blocking antibodies, augment antitumor immunity and may improve the outcomes …
