Exposure Characteristics Of Environmental Chemicals By Life Stages, Nisha Vijayakumar

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Environmental chemicals are ubiquitous and can contribute to human exposure. These exposures can result in long-term health consequences if they occur in early life. However, exposures to environmental chemicals are not evenly distributed throughout childhood. As a result, there exists variation in the levels of chemical exposure depending on the developmental stages, pathways of exposure, and broader systemic factors. However, in early life, limited research exists on exposures to environmental chemicals, particularly phthalates, pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In addition, environmental exposures to phthalates, pesticides, and PAHs, considering life stages, have not been fully explored. Hence it is imperative …

From Counter-Strike To Counterterrorism: How The Cheater Reconfigures Our Understanding Of Asymmetric Warfare, Enya C. Silva

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Around the turn of the century, as the United States increased its military presence in the Middle East in what was widely known as the War on Terror, computer games were also rising in popularity. Military inspired narratives and settings are very common in video games, especially in the genre known as the first person shooter – characterized by a single player, first person point of view. Alexander Galloway provides a vocabulary for understanding the video game, and the first person shooter in particular, derived from the framework of game studies. Scholarship around video games usually either seeks to affirm …

Das, Klaus Neidl Van Gorkom, Taleb M. Almansoori, Fatmah Al Zahmi, Miklós Szólics, Fatima Ismail, Milos Ljubisavljevic

All Works

Background The number of patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) has increased significantly over the last decade. The challenge is to identify the transition from relapsing-remitting to secondary progressive MS. Since available methods to examine patients with MS are limited, both the diagnostics and prognostication of disease progression would benefit from the multimodal approach. The latter combines the evidence obtained from disparate radiologic modalities, neurophysiological evaluation, cognitive assessment and molecular diagnostics. In this systematic review we will analyse the advantages of multimodal studies in predicting the risk of conversion to secondary progressive MS. Methods and analysis We will use peer-reviewed …

Developing A Person-Centred Approach In Dentistry Beyond Nhs Recall Intervals: A Commentary, Ian Mills, Sasha Scambler, Patricia Neville, Koula Asimakopoulou

Peninsula Dental School

Person-centred care (PCC) is acknowledged as a fundamental dimension of quality within health care and provides significant benefits for patients and clinicians. Models of PCC have primarily been developed from the medical literature, with limited consideration of their application within dentistry. The Personalised Care Institute was established to deliver education and training on PCC and is working with the Office of the Chief Dental Officer for England to develop resources on shared decision-making (SDM) to promote tailored recall intervals.This paper seeks to promote the value of PCC and SDM in delivering high-quality care but cautions against the use of generic …

Analysis Of Performance And Failure Modes Of The Iroc Proton Liver Phantom, Hunter Mehrens, Paige Taylor, Paola Alvarez, Stephen Kry

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Purpose: To analyze trends in institutional performance and failure modes for the Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core’s (IROC’s) proton liver phantom.

Materials and Methods: Results of 66 phantom irradiations from 28 institutions between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis and random forest models were used to associate irradiation conditions with phantom results. Phantom results included pass/fail classification, average thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) ratio of both targets, and percentage of pixels passing gamma of both targets. The following categories were evaluated in terms of how they predicted these outcomes: irradiation year, treatment planning system (TPS), TPS algorithm, treatment machine, number …

In COVID-19 patients, antibiotics overuse is still an issue. A predictive scoring model for the diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia at intensive care unit (ICU) admission would be a useful stewardship tool. We performed a multicenter observational study including 331 COVID-19 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation at ICU admission; 179 patients with bacterial pneumonia; and 152 displaying negative lower-respiratory samplings. A multivariable logistic regression model was built to identify predictors of pulmonary co-infections, and a composite risk score was developed using β-coefficients. We identified seven variables as predictors of bacterial pneumonia: vaccination status (OR 7.01; 95% CI, 1.73-28.39); chronic kidney disease …

Fire is the dominant disturbance agent in Alaskan and Canadian boreal ecosystems and releases large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. Burned area and carbon emissions have been increasing with climate change, which have the potential to alter the carbon balance and shift the region from a historic sink to a source. It is therefore critically important to track the spatiotemporal changes in burned area and fire carbon emissions over time. Here we developed a new burned-area detection algorithm between 2001-2019 across Alaska and Canada at 500 m (meters) resolution that utilizes finer-scale 30 m Landsat imagery to account for …

Unique Transcriptional Profiles Underlie Osteosarcomagenesis Driven By Different P53 Mutants, Dhruv Chachad, Lalit R Patel, Carlos Vera Recio, Rasoul Pourebrahim, Elizabeth M Whitley, Wenyi Wang, Xiaoping Su, An Xu, Dung-Fang Lee, Guillermina Lozano

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Missense mutations in the DNA binding domain of p53 are characterized as structural or contact mutations based on their effect on the conformation of the protein. These mutations show gain-of-function (GOF) activities, such as promoting increased metastatic incidence compared with p53 loss, often mediated by the interaction of mutant p53 with a set of transcription factors. These interactions are largely context specific. To understand the mechanisms by which p53 DNA binding domain mutations drive osteosarcoma progression, we created mouse models, in which either the p53 structural mutant p53R172H or the contact mutant p53R245W are expressed specifically in osteoblasts, yielding osteosarcoma …

Search For Medium Effects Using Jets From Bottom Quarks In Pbpb Collisions At √SNn=5.02tev, A. Tumasyan

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

The first study of the shapes of jets arising from bottom (b) quarks in heavy ion collisions is presented. Jet shapes are studied using charged hadron constituents as a function of their radial distance from the jet axis. Lead-lead (PbPb) collision data at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of √s_NN=5.02TeVwere recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC, with an integrated luminosity of 1.69nb⁻¹. Compared to proton-proton collisions, aredistribution of the energy inbjets to larger distances from the jet axis is observed in PbPb collisions. This medium-induced redistribution is found to be substantially larger forbjets than for …

Hierarchy: Connection Between Roman Catholicism And Cathedral Architectur, Nadabya Loric

Architecture Cultures Student Papers

Catholic churches are some of the most distinct church forms in the world. They are very recognizable and typically possess characteristics such as a rose window, spires, a bell tower, a dome, and arches. The Florence Cathedral, The Siena Cathedral, and St. Peter’s Basilica being some of the most famous of them all. Although sacred, these cathedrals are also public spaces. They also serve as representations of the Italian Gothic Roman Style of architecture.

Comparison Of Piazza Della Signoria And Marietta Square, Mariya Georgieva

Architecture Cultures Student Papers

Piazza Della Signoria has long been viewed as a very successful public square, holding up through many centuries, changes of culture, and to locals and visitors alike. In contrast, Marietta Square, while very much loved, is arguably not as successful at pulling people in and being an iconic space outside of the local residents. This paper will analyze the successful and unsuccessful features of both, and explore the options to improve new public spaces.

Duality From Florence To Rome, Tenzin Seng
