Mass Spectrometry-Based Approaches For Targeted Quantitative Proteomics In Biomarker Development, Mary Joan Castillo

Doctoral Dissertations

The development of disease protein biomarkers and their use in clinical research have great applications in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of complex diseases. Mass spectrometry methods for protein biomarker quantitation have recently gained importance in the early stages of the biomarker pipeline, but their application in the validation phase is limited by their low sample throughput. The technology of ultrathroughput mass spectrometry (uMS) transforms the intrinsic quantitation capability of MS analyte multiplexing to sample multiplexing. Herein, the novel MS-based bioanalytical platform utilized decoupled use of isotopic quantitation reference standard and non-isotopic mass coding reagents to enable one-experiment quantitation of …

Synthesis And Application Of Silica Based Mesoporous Materials For Removal Of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds In Aqueous Solution / Shanmuga Suntharam Kittappa, Kittappa Shanmuga Suntharam

Student Works (2010-2019)

The economical synthesis route of silica based mesoporous materials using eco-friendly and cheaper chemicals and material was studied. Three mesoporous silica-based materials were successfully synthesized and applied for the removal of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs): mesoporous silica materials (MSMs) synthesized by reacting pore templating agent Pluronic P123® with silica (SiO2) powder instead of organometallic precursors [i.e. tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)]; magnetised nanocomposite silica material (MNCM) synthesized by incorporating MSMs with nano magnetite; and N1-(3-Trimethoxysilylpropyl) diethylenetriamine (Tris) coated magnetised nanocomposite silica materials (MNCMT) synthesized by incorporating MNCM with Tris. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET)/Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) surface …

Effects Of Preventative Ankle Taping On Planned Change-Of-Direction And Reactive Agility Performance And Ankle Muscle Activity In Basketballers, Matthew D. Jeffriess, Adrian B. Schultz, Tye S. Mcgann, Samuel J. Callaghan, Robert G. Lockie

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

This study investigated the effects of preventative ankle taping on planned change-of-direction and reactive agility performance and peak ankle muscle activity in basketballers. Twenty male basketballers (age = 22.30 ± 3.97 years; height = 1.84 ± 0.09 meters; body mass = 85.96 ± 11.88 kilograms) with no ankle pathologies attended two testing sessions. Within each session, subjects completed six planned and six reactive randomized trials (three to the left and three to the right for each condition) of the Y-shaped agility test, which was recorded by timing lights. In one session, subjects had both ankles un-taped. In the other, both …

Flexibility. Convenience. Access. These are all reasons someone might choose to pursue an online education instead of a more traditional face-to-face delivery. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Education reported more than 5.5 million people seeking a higher education—roughly 25 percent of students—were taking at least one course online. Experts predict those numbers will continue to climb.

Analysis Of Nominalization In Elementary And Middle School Science Textbooks, Breanna Marie Mueller

School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Theses and Dissertations

The research in this capstone examines the existence and implications of nominalizations through a text analysis of first through fifth grade and middle school science textbooks. This study utilizes various tools based on Systemic Functional Linguistics to determine the quantity and types of nominalizations found in various text levels, to reveal how frequently nominalizations are modified by a prepositional phrase that shows agency or force, to uncover how nominalization might affect the syntax and semantics of a text, and to deduce how nominalization might contribute to lexical density. The author also compares the results to address what nominalizations look like …

Differences In Patterns Of Reproductive Allocation Between The Sexes In Nicrophorus Orbicollis, Ashlee N. Smith, J. Curtis Creighton, Mark C. Belk

Faculty Publications

Organisms are selected to maximize lifetime reproductive success by balancing the costs of current reproduction with costs to future survival and fecundity. Males and females typically face different reproductive costs, which makes comparisons of their reproductive strategies difficult. Burying beetles provide a unique system that allows us to compare the costs of reproduction between the sexes because males and females are capable of raising offspring together or alone and carcass preparation and offspring care represent the majority of reproductive costs for both sexes. Because both sexes perform the same functions of carcass preparation and offspring care, we predict that they …

Malignancy-Risk Signature From Histologically Normal Breast Tissue, Dung-Tsa Chen, Timothy J. Yeatman

USF Patents

The invention provides for malignancy-risk gene signatures that predict the risk of developing breast cancer, the recurrence of breast cancer, and/or the metastasis of breast cancer. These signatures have numerous clinical applications including assessing risk of breast cancer development following routine breast biopsy, assessing the need for adjuvant radiotherapy after lumpectomy, and determining the need for completion mastectomy following lumpectomy for the breast cancer patient and other treatment plans that are personalized for the patient.

Custom Reduction Splint For Edentulous Patients, Summer Joy Decker, Jonathan Michael Ford, Jessica Allen Ching

USF Patents

A custom oral splint that is operatively secured to the maxilla and mandible of a subject/patient to assist in reduction and provide maintenance of reduction of maxillary and mandibular fractures in the edentulous or partially edentulous subject/patient. In this difficult patient population, there are very limited options for maxillomandibular fixation, and none provide stable reduction of fractures. The novel device minimizes operative time and equipment, as well as offers the ability to transition the patient from rigid fixation to elastics postoperatively. The novel device is custom-designed for each patient's degree of bone atrophy, ensuring a high quality, and effective product.

When Traumatic Stressors Are Not Past, But Now: Psychosocial Treatment To Develop Resilience With Children And Youth Enduring Concurrent, Complex Trauma, Katherine Tyson Mccrea Professor, Deanna Guthrie, Jeffrey Bulanda

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

The article discusses a project called the Empowering Counseling Program (ECP) conducted in community schools using participatory action and consumer evaluation designs. It addressed the elements of treatment theories used by mental health providers such as values, assumptions and concepts. It cites findings that clients suffering from complex trauma in under-resourced communities, unavoidably traumatized concurrently with treatment do not benefit from treatment guidelines.

Though Obsolete, The Civil Union Continues To Mystify Courts, Joanna L. Grossman

Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship

Before there was marriage for same-sex couples, there was the civil union. It was a precursor to marriage equality, one that provided the benefits and obligations of marriage without the name—a political compromise before the Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality. Although the civil union has been made essentially irrelevant, it continues to raise legal questions about the rights and status of its participants. A recent case in New York, O’Reilly-Morshead v. O’Reilly-Morshead , shows continuing confusion about a status that was not quite marriage, but not quite anything else either.

Efficient Space-Time Sampling With Pixel-Wise Coded Exposure For High Speed Imaging, Dengyu Liu

Theses

Cameras face a fundamental tradeoff between spatial and temporal resolution. Digital still cameras can capture images with high spatial resolution, but most high-speed video cameras have relatively low spatial resolution. It is hard to overcome this tradeoff without incurring a significant increase in hardware costs. In this paper, we propose techniques for sampling, representing and reconstructing the space-time volume in order to overcome this tradeoff. Our approach has two important distinctions compared to previous works: (1) we achieve sparse representation of videos by learning an over-complete dictionary on video patches, and (2) we adhere to practical hardware constraints on sampling …

Azithromycin Drives Alternative Macrophage Activation And Improves Recovery And Tissue Sparing In Contusion Spinal Cord Injury, Bei Zhang, William M. Bailey, Timothy J. Kopper, Michael B. Orr, David J. Feola, John C. Gensel

Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Macrophages persist indefinitely at sites of spinal cord injury (SCI) and contribute to both pathological and reparative processes. While the alternative, anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype is believed to promote cell protection, regeneration, and plasticity, pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophages persist after SCI and contribute to protracted cell and tissue loss. Thus, identifying non-invasive, clinically viable, pharmacological therapies for altering macrophage phenotype is a challenging, yet promising, approach for treating SCI. Azithromycin (AZM), a commonly used macrolide antibiotic, drives anti-inflammatory macrophage activation in rodent models of inflammation and in humans with cystic fibrosis.

METHODS: We hypothesized that AZM treatment can alter …
