Identifying The High-Value Social Audience From Twitter Through Text-Mining Methods, Siaw Ling Lo, David Cornforth, Raymond Chiong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Doing business on social media has become a common practice for many companies these days. While the contents shared on Twitter and Facebook offer plenty of opportunities to uncover business insights, it remains a challenge to sift through the huge amount of social media data and identify the potential social audience who is highly likely to be interested in a particular company. In this paper, we analyze the Twitter content of an account owner and its list of followers through various text mining methods, which include fuzzy keyword matching, statistical topic modeling and machine learning approaches. We use tweets of …

A Plausible Mechanism, Based Upon Short-Root Movement, For Regulating The Number Of Cortex Cell Layers In Roots., Shuang Wu, Chin-Mei Lee, Tomomi Hayashi, Simara Price, Fanchon Divol, Sophia Henry, Germain Pauluzzi, Christophe Perin, Kimberly L Gallagher

Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences & Biotechnology Faculty Papers

Formation of specialized cells and tissues at defined times and in specific positions is essential for the development of multicellular organisms. Often this developmental precision is achieved through intercellular signaling networks, which establish patterns of differential gene expression and ultimately the specification of distinct cell fates. Here we address the question of how the SHORT-ROOT (SHR) proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtSHR), Brachypodium distachyon (BdSHR), and Oryza sativa (OsSHR1 and OsSHR2) function in patterning the root ground tissue. We find that all of the SHR proteins function as mobile signals in A. thaliana and all of the SHR homologs physically interact …

Identification Of Small Molecule Compounds That Regulate Pdgfra Transcription In Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells, Jelena Medved

Doctoral Dissertations

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are precursor cells that give rise to oligodendrocytes, cells that form myelin, an arrangement of membrane sheaths enwrapping axons, necessary for fast transmission of electrical impulses in the nervous system. OPCs generate oligodendrocytes during development, adulthood and in pathological conditions.

Generation of oligodendrocytes from OPCs is in part regulated by growth factors. The major survival factor and mitogen for OPCs is platelet derived growth factor (PDGF). PDGF and its receptor, PDGF receptor A (PDGFRA), are critical regulators of OPC proliferation and their differentiation. PDGFRA gain-of-function can lead to excessive proliferation and is associated with a number …

Synergistic Effect Of Pro-Inflammatory Tnfα And Il-17 In Periostin Mediated Collagen Deposition: Potential Role In Liver Fibrosis, Suneetha Amara, Karina Lopez, Babak Banan, Sade-Kemi Brown, Margaret Whalen, Elbert L. Myles, Michael T. Ivy, Terrance Johnson, Kevin L. Schey, Venkataswarup Tiriveedhi

Biology Faculty Research

Background

The pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-17, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the role of TNFα and IL-17 toward induction of profibrotic factor, periostin.

Methods

HepG2 cells were cultured and treated with inflammatory cytokines, TNFα and IL-17. Computational promoter sequence analysis of the periostin promoter was performed to define the putative binding sites for transcription factors. Transcription factors were analyzed by Western blot and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation. Periostin and transcription factor expression analysis was performed by RT-PCR, Western blot, and fluorescence microscopy. Type I collagen expression from fibroblast …

Method And Composition For Modulating Canonical Wnt Pathway Using Folate And Inositol, Kersti K. Linask

USF Patents

The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is implicated in many disorders including neural tube defects, limb malformations, and heart defects, developmental disorders associated with alcohol exposure (fetal alcohol syndrome) or exposure to bipolar medications (i.e. lithium), wound healing, and Alzheimer's disease. Elevated plasma homocysteine (HCy), which results from folate (folic acid, FA) deficiency, the mood-stabilizing drug lithium (Li), and alcohol (ethanol) are linked to the induction of human congenital heart and neural tube defects. FA supplementation ameliorates the observed developmental errors in the Li-HCy, or alcohol-exposed mouse embryos and normalized heart function. Li, HCy or Wnt3A suppress Wnt-modulated Hex and Islet-1 …
