Stormwater Infrastructure As A Socio-Ecological System: The Case Of Aaran’S Pond, Cya Moore, Serena A. Echols, E. Christian Wells
Weather, Climate, and Society REU
This poster examines stormwater ponds as complex adaptive ecosystems in the urban environment, in which community residents and other stakeholders are integral components. Stormwater ponds are important forms of green infrastructure used to control flooding in the Tampa Bay area. These ponds also can help mitigate the flow of nutrients into the bay, which can cause harmful algal blooms that impact people and marine life. With increasing frequency and intensity of flooding events due to climate change, some stormwater ponds, such as Aaran’s Pond in the University Area Community near the USF Tampa campus, are becoming less effective at flood …
A Foundational Research Project For Future Collaboration Between Indigenous Communities And Small Museums: A Case Study Of Twenty-Five Beaded Bags, Dyana Gracia

Applying The Normative Design Approach To Civil Engineering, Justin R. Vander Werff
Faculty Work Comprehensive List
In 1986, the book Responsible Technology [1] was published as an important compilation from a number of thoughtful Christians engaged in technology and engineering in that era. In many ways, this book and those involved with it laid the foundation for what has become the Christian Engineering Society. A particularly valuable aspect of this work was that it laid out a biblically normative framework for doing engineering based on Herman Dooyeweerd’s modal aspects [2], fleshing out how the higher aspects such as faith, ethics, and justice should play an integral role in engineering development, even though we often have a …

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Section 702: The Good, The Bad, And A Proposal To Make It Less Ugly, Kevin Burns
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Section 702: The Good, The Bad, And A Proposal To Make It Less Ugly, Kevin Burns
Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (“FISA”) has been controversial since its inception. Created to allow intelligence collection against targeted foreign persons, electronic surveillance under Section 702 casts a wide net, often capturing communications sent to or by United States persons. Opponents point to the invasion of privacy such collection presents, and to the well-documented abuse and biased use of Section 702 data against U.S. citizens. This Note argues that despite this, Section 702 is a vital tool in the fight against terrorism and drug trafficking and the case against Section 702 is weaker than it appears. This …

Connection In An Age Of Connectivity: An Evaluation Of Synchronous And Asynchronous Law Classrooms, Mary Kate Kearney, Miranda E. Thompson
Western New England Law Review
As the world was thrust into a global pandemic, legal education was forced to confront the evolution of technological teaching modalities. While these technological advances allowed legal education to prosper in the short-term emergency education situation, their continued use creates barriers between the student and teacher which diminishes a student’s ability to develop critical lawyering skills. Based on our own roles as professor and student, we agree that deviating from in-person education will have detrimental effects for teachers and students and will undermine the collaborative relationship of the classroom. Legal institutions have refined in-person teaching methods, such as the Socratic …

With the rise of population placing strain on food supplies and the failure of current prevention strategies to mitigate effects of agricultural pollution, research is needed to develop new technologies for the removal and recovery of nutrients from agricultural runoff and drainage. Geopolymer, an alkali-silicate material polymerized within an acidic or alkaline medium, is promising as an adsorptive substrate due to its multifaceted customizability, cost effectiveness, and adsorptive properties. Hence, the objective of this research was to develop porous metakaolin (MK) geopolymer based adsorptive materials with high affinities for phosphate and ammonium/ammonia to act as nutrient control within agricultural runoff …
Epigenetic Regulation Of Cancer Testis Antigens In Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Rinrada Klankajorn
Epigenetic Regulation Of Cancer Testis Antigens In Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Rinrada Klankajorn
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents one of the most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide, with few available treatment options. Cancer-testis antigens (CTAs), notably from the MAGE gene family, have opened new possibilities for improving immunotherapy in HCC due to their tumor-specific expression and high immunogenicity. However, the mechanisms regulating MAGE gene expression are largely unknown. This study explored mechanisms controlling the expression of MAGE-A3 and MAGE-C2. We utilized HCC organoid cultures derived from patient HCC tissues known to represent cancer epigenetic status more accurately than cell lines to study the MAGE gene family expression patterns and promoter methylation patterns. Our …

Expression Optimization And Characterization Of Plant-Produced Human Interleukin-15, Chalatorn Charnsatabut
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Human interleukin-15 (hIL-15) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in immune responses like T cell proliferation, activation, and prolongation of natural killer (NK) cells. This cytokine also impacts the cell proliferation of human adult low calcium temperature (HaCaT) keratinocytes which can lead to the wound-healing effect. This study aimed to optimize the expression and characterize the recombinant hIL-15 in Nicotiana benthamiana with the Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression system. The hIL-15 gene was fused with the Fc domain from the IgG1 antibody for purification. The expression cassette was optimized for sub-cellular targeting and agroinfiltration. The transiently expressed hIL-15-Fc was purified …
Molecular Mechanism Of Lusianthridin On Platelet Aggregation Inhibition And Endothelial Cell Protection, Fozia -
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Lusianthridin (LST), a bioactive compound isolated from Dendrobium venustum, exhibits notable vasoprotective properties. This study aimed to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of LST by evaluating its effects on platelet function and endothelial cell activation in vitro. In human platelets, LST significantly inhibited collagen-induced aggregation, an effect associated with elevated phosphorylation of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) and suppression of Akt phosphorylation. In EA.hy926 endothelial cells, LST attenuated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-induced endothelial dysfunction by reducing nitric oxide (NO) production and suppressing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Mechanistic investigations revealed that LST inhibited key inflammatory signaling …

Immune Signaling And Pathogenesis Of Enterocytozoon Hepatopenaei Infection In Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus Vannamei, Nutthapon Sangklai
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is an intracellular microsporidian parasite causing hepatopancreatic microsporidiosis (HPM), a disease that impairs the digestion and nutrients absorption of shrimp and leads to growth retardation and size variation. Our studies aim to comprehensively investigate the host’s immune responses to the EHP infection and the pathogenesis of the parasite. It was found that genes in Toll and JAK/STAT pathways, as well as antimicrobial peptides, were highly upregulated upon the EHP infection. Importantly, suppression of the JAK/STAT pathways resulted in a significant reduction of the c-type lysozyme (LvLyz-c) expression and the elevation of EHP copy numbers. These indicate a …

Development Of Electrochemical Sensor Based On Molecularly Imprinted Polymer For Determination Of Roxarsone, Pitranan Kunthanasap
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Roxarsone (ROX), a growth enhancer in poultry and swine, has the potential to improve weight gain and prevent coccidiosis. Excessive use of ROX may lead to its accumulation in animal tissues, potentially contaminating food products and posing health risks to humans through consumption. This research aims to develop an electrochemical sensor based on a magnetic screen-printed graphene electrode (mSPGE) modified with a highly selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for the determination of ROX with enhanced sensitivity and selectivity. Typically, an applied magnetic field at the mSPGE could accelerate mass transport at the electrode surface through the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect, leading …
(2024) Different Maps, Same Territory: Dialogical Self Theory And Its Predecessors, David Kennedy
(2024) Different Maps, Same Territory: Dialogical Self Theory And Its Predecessors, David Kennedy
Collected Papers of David Kennedy
Dialogical Self Theory has not emerged in a historical vacuum. Its fore-runners, whether the Eastern Atman, the tripartite Platonic self with itsclear hierarchical relations, the Cartesian “ghost in the machine,” theFreudian ego-id hydraulic model or the Jungian topography of ego andunconscious, represent the theoretical grounding from which the dia-logical self has emerged and self-articulated as much as have WilliamJames, George Herbert Mead and Mikel Bakhtin. Most of them, includ-ing DST, center on developmental models, and see the self as intrinsi-cally oriented toward a more integrated sense of itself that Jung called“wholeness,” although their internal politics differ. Plato is an authoritar-ian, …

Illustrating The Fantastic: Cross-Writing Illustrations In British Children’S Literature Of The Golden Age, Stephanie Montalti
Illustrating The Fantastic: Cross-Writing Illustrations In British Children’S Literature Of The Golden Age, Stephanie Montalti
Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation argues that British children’s literature of the Golden Age addresses children and adults through their illustrations. It considers why the nineteenth century experienced a proliferation in fantasy and illustration, as well as why Golden Age children’s texts appeal to mixed-age audiences. Through an application of the term “cross-writing,” I argue that the Golden Age of children’s literature did not think of audiences in a binary manner, as some children’s literature scholars tend to assert. Instead, they used the dual mode of textual and visual narration to complicate the boundaries between childhood and adulthood. I also offer an original …

Exploring The Dual Role Of Vegf165 In Bleomycin Induced Lung Injury And Recovery In A Aav Mice Model, Igor Ban
Theses and Dissertations
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) poses a significant challenge in respiratory medicine due to its complex etiology and progression characterized by excessive lung scarring, leading to compromised pulmonary function. The multifaceted roles of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) and specifically its isoform VEGF-A165 are critical in this context, given their involvement in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and tissue repair. The dual nature of VEGF-A165, promoting angiogenesis and potentially exacerbating or mitigating fibrosis, underscores its significance in both the progression and recovery phases of PF. Our work, explores the nuanced functions of VEGF-A165 using AAV1 as a gene delivery vector to overexpress this growth …
