Effect Of Electrode Placement On Delivered Energy For Internal Atrial Defibrillation, Gabriel Onyeabor Okpah

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Numerous clinical studies indicate the feasibility and safety of the use of internal atrial defibrillators to successfully treat atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the delivered energy to successfully defibrillate the atria is often painful for patients. This study aims to show the effects of small shifts in electrode placement on the defibrillation threshold (DFT) by computational simulations employing the use of an anatomically realistic human torso model. Electric fields were computed using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.1 for 10 electrode placement variations of 2 clinically relevant placements. The percent difference comparison between the two standard clinical configurations used show that a significantly higher …

The Structure Of South Dakota Agriculture: 1935-2012, Henry Brown, Larry Jassen, Matthew Diersen, Evert Van Der Sluis

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

This study presents key components of the structure of agriculture in South Dakota. As a major industry in South Dakota, agriculture plays a pivotal role in the overall vitality of the economy. Agriculture in South Dakota spans many industries, including the production of agricultural commodities, food and feed processing, agricultural input manufacturing, agri-business, and other agricultural-based industries. This report is based on data from the Census of Agriculture. The report presents long-term trends for farm numbers, the number of operators, land use, and other important characteristics of agriculture. The study emphasizes family farms, because they will continue to dominate the …

Disruption Of Daily Rhythms By High-Fat Diet Is Reversible, Katrina L. Branecky, Kevin D. Niswender, Julie S. Pendergast

Biology Faculty Publications

In mammals a network of circadian clocks coordinates behavior and physiology with 24-h environmental cycles. Consumption of high-fat diet disrupts this temporal coordination by advancing the phase of the liver molecular clock and altering daily rhythms of eating behavior and locomotor activity. In this study we sought to determine whether these effects of high-fat diet on circadian rhythms were reversible. We chronically fed mice high-fat diet and then returned them to low-fat chow diet. We found that the phase of the liver PERIOD2::LUCIFERASE rhythm was advanced (by 4h) and the daily rhythms of eating behavior and locomotor activity were altered …

Genome-Wide Transcriptome Analysis Of Cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.) Identifies Candidate Gene Signatures In Response To Aflatoxin Producing Fungus Aspergillus Flavus, Renesh Bedre, Kanniah Rajasekaran, Venkata Ramanarao Mangu, Luis Eduardo Sanchez Timm, Deepak Bhatnagar, Niranjan Baisakh

Faculty Publications

Aflatoxins are toxic and potent carcinogenic metabolites produced from the fungi Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Aflatoxins can contaminate cottonseed under conducive preharvest and postharvest conditions. United States federal regulations restrict the use of aflatoxin contaminated cottonseed at >20 ppb for animal feed. Several strategies have been proposed for controlling aflatoxin contamination, and much success has been achieved by the application of an atoxigenic strain of A. flavus in cotton, peanut and maize fields. Development of cultivars resistant to aflatoxin through overexpression of resistance associated genes and/or knocking down aflatoxin biosynthesis of A. flavus will be an effective strategy for …

Vitamin B12: Identification And Treatment Of Deficiencies, Max Mitchell, Donna S. Freeborn

Student Works

Vitamin B₁₂ is essential for the proper functioning of all cells. A deficiency can cause serious hematologic and neurologic damage. Groups at high risk for developing vitamin B₁₂ deficiency include the elderly, vegetarians, pregnant women, persons with pernicious anemia, and patients with a history of gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of vitamin B₁₂ deficiency and discuss its pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnostic testing, and management

Ascending Cns Progression Of Eae: Linkage Of Events At The Choroid Plexus And Spinal Cord, Bandana Shrestha

Doctoral Dissertations

Dysfunction of the blood brain barrier (BBB), the specialized complex of cells situated at the central nervous system (CNS) microvasculature has been associated with numerous neuroinflammatory disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). BBB known to restrict passage of soluble and cellular elements between the blood and CNS is breached. The mechanism by which auto-reactive T cells cross the normally “impermeable” BBB, invade the initially naive CNS, and cause neuroinflammation, remains unclear. Recent studies suggest an initial route by which these cells first gain entry from circulating blood through the choroid plexus (CP). The …

The Invasive American Weed Parthenium Hysterophorus Can Negatively Impact Malaria Control In Africa, Vincent O. Nyasembe, Xavier Cheseto, Fatma Kaplan, Woodbridge A. Foster, Peter E.A. Teal, James H. Tumlinson, Christian Borgemeister, Baldwyn Torto

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

The direct negative effects of invasive plant species on agriculture and biodiversity are well known, but their indirect effects on human health, and particularly their interactions with disease-transmitting vectors, remains poorly explored. This study sought to investigate the impact of the invasive Neotropical weed Parthenium hysterophorus and its toxins on the survival and energy reserves of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae. In this study, we compared the fitness of An. gambiae fed on three differentially attractive mosquito host plants and their major toxins; the highly aggressive invasive Neotropical weed Parthenium hysterophorus (Asteraceae) in East Africa and two other adapted weeds, …

Developmental Time Course Of Peripheral Cross‐Modal Sensory Interaction Of The Trigeminal And Gustatory Systems, Jacquelyn M. Omelian, Marissa J. Berry, Adam M. Gomez, Kristi L. Apa, Suzanne I. Sollars

Psychology Faculty Publications

Few sensory modalities appear to engage in cross‐modal interactions within the peripheral nervous system, making the integrated relationship between the peripheral gustatory and trigeminal systems an ideal model for investigating cross‐sensory support. The present study examined taste system anatomy following unilateral transection of the trigeminal lingual nerve (LX) while leaving the gustatory chorda tympani intact. At 10, 25, or 65 days of age, rats underwent LX with outcomes assessed following various survival times. Fungiform papillae were classified by morphological feature using surface analysis. Taste bud volumes were calculated from histological sections of the anterior tongue. Differences in papillae morphology were …

Human-Centered Design Approaches For Participatory Organizations And Enabling Systems, Mary M. Somerville

University Libraries Librarian and Staff Presentations

Informed Systems honors stakeholder perspective and values information experience through inclusive construction of workplace systems and participatory processes. Enabling design tools and inclusive information processes support planning and building organizational communication systems for evidence based inquiry and continuous team learning. In this North American example, international researchers’ contributions illustrate the efficacy of introducing theory from Australia and methods from Sweden to re-invent an academic library. To initiate transformative change at the University of Colorado Denver, Scandinavian participation design practices guided co-creation of shared vision and systems purpose.. Building upon these catalytic collective experiences, an organizational learning culture was advanced through …
