Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder that may also lead to reduced white matter integrity, potentially due to shared genetic risk factors. Genetic correlation analyses were conducted in a large cohort of Mexican American families in San Antonio (N = 761, 58% females, ages 18–81 years; 41.3 ± 14.5) from the Genetics of Brain Structure and Function Study. Shared genetic variance was calculated between measures of adiposity [(body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) and waist circumference (WC; in)] and whole-brain and regional measurements of cerebral white matter integrity (fractional anisotropy). Whole-brain average and regional fractional anisotropy values for 10 major …

Cancer patients frequently suffer from fatigue, a complex syndrome associated with loss of muscle mass, weakness, and depressed mood. Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) can be present at the time of diagnosis, during treatment, and persists for years after treatment. CRF negatively influences quality of life, limits functional independence, and is associated with decreased survival in patients with incurable disease. Currently there are no effective treatments to reduce CRF. The aim of this study was to use a mouse model of tumor growth and discriminate between two main components of fatigue: loss of muscle mass/function and altered mood/motivation. Here we show that …

College of Nursing Faculty Research and Publications
Objective
To determine whether labor-associated inflammatory markers differ between low-risk, nulliparous women in preactive vs active labor at hospital admission and over time.
Study Design
Prospective comparative study of low-risk, nulliparous women with spontaneous labor onset at term (n = 118) sampled from 2 large Midwestern hospitals. Circulating concentrations of inflammatory markers were measured at admission and again 2 and 4 hours later: namely, neutrophil, and monocyte counts; and serum inflammatory cytokines (interleukin -1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-10) and chemokines (interleukin-8). Biomarker concentrations and their patterns of change over time were compared between preactive (n = 63) and active …

The effect of joint pathologies, such as unilateral knee osteoarthritis (UKOA) or low back pain (LBP), on bilateral gait symmetry has gained increased attention during the past decade. This study is the first to compare gait patterns between patients with UKOA and LBP in combination and with UKOA only. Temporal, kinematic, and kinetic variables were measured bilaterally during gait stance phase in 31 subjects with UKOA and LBP (Group I) and 11 subjects with only UKOA (Group II). Group I patients exhibited less hip rotation in the affected limb (A) than in the nonaffected (NA) limb during walking in contrast …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
ไคโตซานถูกดัดแปรขนาดโมเลกุลโดยการนำไปฉายรังสีแกมมาที่ปริมาณรังสีต่าง ๆ หลังจากนั้นจึงนำไปทำเป็นสารละลาย แล้วนำไปกราฟท์ (graft) ลงบนผ้าไหมไทยที่ผ่านการดัดแปรผิวด้วยกระบวนการพลาสมาคลื่นความถี่วิทยุในสภาวะที่เหมาะสมมาแล้ว จากการศึกษาพบว่าอัตราการยึดเกาะของไคโตซานบนผ้าไหม (degree of grafting) จะแปรผันตรงกับมวลโมเลกุลของไคโตซาน ซึ่งกำลังพลาสมาที่เหมาะสมจะอยู่ที่ 120 วัตต์ , ระยะเวลาในการดัดแปรผิวผ้าไหมด้วยพลาสมาที่เหมาะสมอยู่ที่ 4 นาที และจากการทดลองพบว่า ผ้าไหมที่ไม่ผ่านการดัดแปรผิวด้วยเทคนิคพลาสมาจะมีการกราฟต์ติดของไคโตซานบนผ้าโดยเฉลี่ยอยู่ที่ 18.78 % ซึ่งต่ำกว่าผ้าไหมที่ผ่านการดัดแปรผิวด้วยเทคนิคพลาสมาที่มีการกราฟต์ติดของไคโตซานบนผ้าโดยเฉลี่ยอยู่ที่ 19.18 % ทั้งนี้ยังพบว่าผ้าระบบที่ผ่านการดัดแปรผิวด้วยพลาสมาจะมีค่าร้อยละแห่งการหลุดออกของไคโตซานจากเส้นใยต่ำกว่าผ้าอีกระบบที่ไม่ผ่านการดัดแปรผิวด้วยพลาสมา และที่มากกว่านั้นคือ เราสามารถมั่นใจได้เกินกว่า 90% ว่าผ้าระบบที่ใช้พลาสมาในการดัดแปรผิวจะสามารถผ่านการซักไปได้ถึง 155 ครั้ง และ 93 ครั้ง สำหรับเชื้อ E.coli และ S.aureus ตามลำดับ จึงจะหมดประสิทธิภาพในการต้านแบคทีเรีย ในทำนองกลับกัน ผ้าระบบที่ไม่ได้ใช้พลาสมาในการดัดแปรผิว แค่ผ่านการซักไปเพียง 67 ครั้ง และ 48 ครั้ง สำหรับเชื้อ E.coli และ S.aureus ตามลำดับ ก็ทำให้หมดประสิทธิภาพในการต้านแบคทีเรียแล้ว จึงกล่าวได้ว่า การใช้กระบวนการทาง RF-Plasma ด้วยเงื่อนไขของสภาวะดังตามที่ทดลอง จะสามารถทำให้ไคโตซานกราฟท์ติดกับเส้นใยได้ดีขึ้นและยังทำให้ไคโตซานดำรงอยู่บนเส้นใยได้ยาวนานขึ้น ผ้าไหมจึงต้านแบคทีเรียได้ยาวนานกว่าเดิม นั่นคือสามารถใช้งานได้ในระยะยาว
Does Service Employees' Appearance Affect The Healthiness Of Food Choice?, Tabea: Benoit Huneke, Sabine Benoit, Anders Gustafsson
Does Service Employees' Appearance Affect The Healthiness Of Food Choice?, Tabea: Benoit Huneke, Sabine Benoit, Anders Gustafsson
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Derived from previous research on social influence on food consumption and social comparison theory, this article examines the effect of service employees’ appearance on consumers’ food choice using an experimental study, involving a video manipulation and eye-tracking technique. The video shows a menu being proffered by a waitress whose degree of apparent healthiness varies (healthy, overweight, unhealthy lifestyle). The menu contains both healthy and unhealthy meal alternatives. The analysis of participants’ eye movements demonstrated that exposure to the overweight employee did not stimulate greater (i.e., earlier or longer) attention to unhealthy meal alternatives, whereas exposure to the employee who displayed …

Corporate Social Performance, Analyst Stock Recommendations, And Firm Future Returns, Xueming Luo, Heli Wang, Sascha Raithel, Qinqin Zheng
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
This study posits that security analysts heed corporate social performance information and factor it into their recommendations to general investors. In particular, as corporate social performance is often uncertain and ambiguous to general investors, analysts may serve as the informational pathway connecting corporate social performance to firm stock returns. Thus, we argue that analyst recommendations mediate the relationship between corporate social performance and firm stock returns. On the basis of not only a qualitative study with literature searches and interviews of stock analysts but also a quantitative study with two longitudinal samples of large firms, we find support for these …

Spatio-Temporal Patterns Of Water Table And Vegetation Status Of A Deserted Area, Limin Duan, Tingxi Liu, Xixi Wang, Yanyun Luo
Civil & Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications
Understanding groundwater-vegetation interactions is crucial for sustaining fragile environments of desert areas such as the Horqin Sandy Land (HSL) in northern China. This study examined spatio-temporal variations in the water table and the associated vegetation status of a 9.71 km2 area that contains meadowland, sandy dunes, and intermediate transitional zones. The depth of the water table and hydrometeorologic parameters were monitored and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data were utilized to assess the vegetation cover. Spatio-temporal variations over the six-year study period were examined and descriptive groundwater-vegetation associations developed by overlaying a water table …
Failure Modes For I-Section Gfrp Beams, Mamadou Konate, Zia Razzaq
Failure Modes For I-Section Gfrp Beams, Mamadou Konate, Zia Razzaq
Civil & Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications
This paper presents calculations for the failure modes for I-section Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) beams with single mid-span web brace. Theoretical predictions are made using ASCE-LFRD Pre-Standard for FRP structures. For the member length considered, it is found that for small and medium I-sections the failure mode is governed by lateral-torsional buckling and for bigger I-sections the failure mode is governed by material rupture. The outcome of the predicted lateral-torsional buckling mode is compared with that observed experimentally.
The Effect Of Milling Additives On Powder Properties And Sintered Body Microstructure Of Nio, L. Jay Deiner, Michael A. Rottmayer, Bryan C. Eigenbrodt
The Effect Of Milling Additives On Powder Properties And Sintered Body Microstructure Of Nio, L. Jay Deiner, Michael A. Rottmayer, Bryan C. Eigenbrodt
Publications and Research
The evolution of powder particle size, crystal structure, and surface chemistry was evaluated for micron scale NiO powders subjected to impact milling with commonly employed milling additives: methanol, Vertrel XF, and amorphous carbon. The effect of the different comminution protocols on sintered body microstructure was evaluated for high temperature sintering in inert atmosphere (N2). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that NiO powder surface chemistry is surprisingly sensitive to milling additive choice. In particular, the proportion of powder surface defect sites varied with additive, and methanol left an alcohol or alkoxy residue even after drying. Upon sintering to intermediate temperatures (1100 ℃), …
Geothermal Regime Of The Williston Basin In North Dakota, Faye N. Ricker
Geothermal Regime Of The Williston Basin In North Dakota, Faye N. Ricker
Theses and Dissertations
Understanding the thermal regime of a large intracontinental basin such as the Williston Basin can be enhanced by analysis of the relationships among radiogenic heat production, surface heat flow, formation temperatures, and gravity and magnetic anomaly patterns. Digital processing of the spatial and causal relationships gives insight into the effect of basement heat production on the thermal state of the basement rocks and the overlying sedimentary successions. These relationships provide valuable insight on the radioactive heat contribution to heat flow, heat flow from the lower crust, composition of the upper crust, and the potential for geothermal power generation. The specific …
