The Role Of Atypical Protein Kinase C In Colorectal Cancer Cells Carcinogenesis, S M Anisul Islam

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy and the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. CRC is a life-threatening disease due to therapy-resistant cancerous cells. The exact mechanisms of cell growth, survival, metastasis and inter & intracellular signaling pathways involved in CRC are still a significant challenge. Moreover, the treatment of metastatic CRC considered palliative for many years aimed for an improved life, with little hope of a cure, highlighting the need for developing novel targeted therapy for CRC. Hence, investigating new molecular mechanism(s) that lead to colorectal carcinogenesis may give insight into the therapeutic target. …

© Copyright © 2019 Shah, Li, Kury, Zeb, Khatoon, Liu, Yang, Liu, Yao, Khan, Koh, Jiang and Li. Ischemic strokes are categorized by permanent or transient obstruction of blood flow, which impedes delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to brain. In the last decade, the therapeutic window for tPA has increased from 3 to 5–6 h, and a new technique, involving the mechanical removal of the clot (endovascular thrombectomy) to allow reperfusion of the injured area, is being used more often. This last therapeutic approach can be done until 24 h after stroke onset. Due to this fact, more acute …

Transdermal Lidocaine For Perioperative Pain: A Systematic Review Of The Literature., Jordan Smoker, Alexa Cohen, Mohammad R Rasouli, Eric S. Schwenk

Department of Anesthesiology Faculty Papers

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of the perioperative studies that have examined transdermal lidocaine (lidocaine patch) as an analgesic and put the evidence in context of the likely overall benefit of transdermal lidocaine in the perioperative period.

RECENT FINDINGS: Several randomized controlled trials have been published in the past 4 years that concluded transdermal lidocaine can reduce acute pain associated with laparoscopic trocar or cannula insertion. Transdermal lidocaine may reduce short-term pain after surgery in selected surgery types and has a low risk of toxicity but its overall clinical utility in the …

An Ecology Of Care: Training In Dependence And Caretaking In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Elizabeth Rossbach

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This project investigates the popular open-world fantasy RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (CD Projekt RED 2015) and the ways in which the Witcher 3 brings questions of care and dependence to a digital medium so often thought of in terms of violence and/or mastery. Much of the previous discourse on video games, particularly role-playing games, has tended to center on violence and what this might mean for players behavior or the potential real world effects of this violence. Departing from a focus on violence I argue that the Witcher 3, reveals the potentials of open-world RPG video games to …

Electrospun Chitosan Membranes Loaded With Raspberry Ketone To Induce Differentiation In Preosteoblasts, Paul Kenneth Cameron

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This study evaluated the potential of adding raspberry ketone (RK) to electrospun chitosan membranes (ESCMs) to create a bioactive guided bone regeneration GBR) membrane capable of stimulating bone cell differentiation. In this study, W-20-17 cells exposed to 50-200μg/ml RK showed an increased expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP). RK was loaded onto ESCM discs modified by one of three different fatty acid anhydrides and release profiles were examined. It was found that the RK release profile was dependent on the type of fatty acid treatment used. RK loaded membranes were then evaluated for cytocompatibility and osteodiferentiation potential. While the RK released …

Deepfake Detection And Low-Resource Language Speech Recognition Using Deep Learning, Bao Thai

Theses

While deep learning algorithms have made significant progress in automatic speech recognition and natural language processing, they require a significant amount of labelled training data to perform effectively. As such, these applications have not been extended to languages that have only limited amount of data available, such as extinct or endangered languages. Another problem caused by the rise of deep learning is that individuals with malicious intents have been able to leverage these algorithms to create fake contents that can pose serious harm to security and public safety. In this work, we explore the solutions to both of these problems. …

Chronic Environmental Exposure To Metal Mixtures In Tribal Populations And Potential Immune System Effects, Jennifer J. Ong

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Hardrock mining in the United States (US) has left a legacy of mixed metal mine waste sites. Wastes may contain multiple metals of health concern, including arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and uranium, among others. Mining waste sites are disproportionately located on or contiguous to the watersheds of tribal lands. Due to proximity, and because of reliance on natural resources to maintain traditional diets and customs, Native American communities’ contact with multiple metals is often increased. Two impacted communities are the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe (CRST) and Navajo Nation. Both tribes have expressed concerns that metals in mine waste adversely affect …

Validation Of Gaseous Absorption & Cloud Attenuation Models Utilizing A 72 Ghz Terrestrial Link, Ralph Lyndon Gesner

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Interest in the W & V-bands of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum has become steadily more desirable for system designers due to the ever increasing need for greater communication bandwidths and higher data rates. The 40 GHZ to 110 GHz range that constitutes the W & V-bands provide a unique solution to both of these current demands by providing a bandwidth nearly double that of all current RF frequencies in use. To date, this range has only been used for point to point satellite and short link communications meaning these bands have remained largely unexplored and undeveloped.

The Use Of Social Media In Emergency Management By Public Agencies And Non-Governmental Organizations: Lessons Learned From Areas Affected By Hurricanes Isaac, Sandy, And Harvey, Ryan Hamilton Kirby

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Natural disasters are increasingly costly for the United States. The literature suggests emergency managers may improve disaster outcomes and enhance disaster resilience by supplementing their official public-communications methods with more bi-directional communication tactics using social media. This study aims to understand how social media is used within the “whole community” of emergency management in areas affected by recent hurricanes. The first research objective examines how social media is used by governmental and non-governmental organizations across the four phases of emergency management (preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation). The second objective is to identify challenges governmental and non-governmental groups have encountered and strategies …

Unified Management Of Media Sessions And Audio Focus, Rebecca Hughes, Mounir Lamouri

Defensive Publications Series

Multiple simultaneous audio sources are typically handled by the media session and audio focus mechanisms of an operating system (OS). These mechanisms typically permit only a single audio source to output sound at any given time. Switching to another component that generates sound results in a switch from the currently playing audio to the audio of the new component which may not always provide an optimal user experience. Moreover, media session and audio focus mechanisms of the different operating systems, e.g., a guest OS running as a container or virtual machine atop a host OS may not interoperate in a …

Automatic Content Filtering In Virtual Assistants For Kids, Yuzhao Ni

Defensive Publications Series

Virtual assistant responses need to be both useful and safe for kids and families. However, this is currently not always the case. For example, virtual assistant responses can sometimes unexpectedly include explicit answers or answers that are otherwise unsuitable for kids. However, restricting searches can prevent the virtual assistant from surfacing useful, family-safe responses. There is no systematic way to filter non-textual media content, e.g., music, video, etc. Per the techniques of this disclosure, a library of content classifiers is provided that filters out various categories of content inappropriate for children, e.g., explicit content, violent content, etc. A query to …

Employing Assistive Device Audio Input To Detect And Mitigate Loud Noises, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

In dense environments, such as apartments, townhomes, etc., people are often bothered by loud sounds generated by neighbors or others nearby. Currently, alerting the source of the disturbance requires walking over to the person or manually messaging them via a suitable communication mechanism. This disclosure describes the use of an assistive device with ambient sound input capabilities to detect sound disturbances from the surrounding environment, locate the source(s) of the detected disturbance(s), and generate alerts for appropriate mitigating actions. The described techniques are implemented with specific user permission.

Identifying The Enemy In First World War Canada: The Historiography And Bureaucracy Of Enemy Alien Internment And Registration, Mary Chaktsiris

Canadian Military History

Over 8,000 people identified as enemy aliens were interned in Canada during the Great War. Another 80,000 people were required to register with authorities and report regularly. This article presents an overview of historiography about First World War internment in Canada from 1914 to 1920 and explores the changing internment and registration regulations during that period. The results suggest that narratives about First World War internment sit uncomfortably within a Canadian historiography focused on a nation-building narrative. During the Great War, the ability to use wartime legislation to control populations viewed as problematic overshadowed government claims that the internment of …

Glial Regulators Of Ionic Homeostasis Shape Neuronal Output In C. Elegans, Christina K. Johnson

Open Access Dissertations

The ability to sense touch is fundamentally important for interacting with and understanding the world around us. Touch plays a major role in many pathologies in which injury or inflammation leads to abnormal responses to touch, such as allodynia and mechanical hyperalgesia. Despite its crucial roles in physiology and pathology, the mechanisms by which we sense touch are the least understood of all the senses. Mammals sense touch through mechanosensors embedded in the skin, which are either free nerve endings or cooperative complexes formed by nerve endings and associated glia and epithelial cells. Work on Merkel cell-neurite complexes has demonstrated …
