An Electronic Origin Of Charge Order In Infinite-Layer Nickelates, Hanghui Chen, Yi-Feng Yang, Guang-Ming Zhang, Hongquan Liu

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

A charge order (CO) with a wavevector [Formula: see text] is observed in infinite-layer nickelates. Here we use first-principles calculations to demonstrate a charge-transfer-driven CO mechanism in infinite-layer nickelates, which leads to a characteristic Ni1+-Ni2+-Ni1+ stripe state. For every three Ni atoms, due to the presence of near-Fermi-level conduction bands, Hubbard interaction on Ni-d orbitals transfers electrons on one Ni atom to conduction bands and leaves electrons on the other two Ni atoms to become more localized. We further derive a low-energy effective model to elucidate that the CO state arises from a delicate competition between Hubbard interaction on Ni-d …

Attributing Equity Gaps To Course Structure In Introductory Physics, David J. Webb, Cassandra Paul

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

We add to a growing literature suggesting that demographic grade gaps should be attributed to biases embedded in the courses themselves. Changes in the structure of two different introductory physics classes were made while leaving the topics covered and the level of coverage unchanged. First, a class where conceptual issues were studied before doing any complicated calculations had zero final exam grade gap between students from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups and their peers. Next, four classes that offered students a retake exam each week between the regular bi-weekly exams during the term had zero gender gap in course grades. …

Integrating Forest Structural Diversity Measurement Into Ecological Research, Jeff W. Atkins, Parth Bhatt, Luis Carrasco, Emily Francis, James E. Garabedian, Christopher R. Hakkenberg, Brady S. Hardiman, Jinha Jung, Anil Koirala, Elizabeth A. Larue, Sungchan Oh, Gang Shao, Guofan Shao, H. H. Shugart, Anna Spiers, Atticus E.L. Stovall, Thilina D. Surasinghe, Xiaonan Tai, Lu Zhai, Tao Zhang, Keith Krause

Michigan Tech Publications

The measurement of forest structure has evolved steadily due to advances in technology, methodology, and theory. Such advances have greatly increased our capacity to describe key forest structural elements and resulted in a range of measurement approaches from traditional analog tools such as measurement tapes to highly derived and computationally intensive methods such as advanced remote sensing tools (e.g., lidar, radar). This assortment of measurement approaches results in structural metrics unique to each method, with the caveat that metrics may be biased or constrained by the measurement approach taken. While forest structural diversity (FSD) metrics foster novel research opportunities, understanding …

Development Of Antiviral Peptidomimetics, Songyi Xue

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for biological processes and are associated with a number of diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. As a result, modulation of PPIs has been recognized as one of the most promising strategies to develop the novel drugs. Peptide modulators always exhibit higher specificity and affinities with targets than small compounds or monoclonal antibodies, but their broad medicinal effectiveness is constrained by their poor bioavailability and biostability. Peptidomimetics, which have been developed to mimic the structure as well as function of bioactive peptides and proteins, have shown excellent potential in protein surface mimicry and …

Analysis Of Factors Affecting Construction And Demolition Waste Reduction In Egypt, Ayman Ahmed Ezzat Othman, Ahmed Osama Daoud, Obas John Ebohon, Ali Bayyati

Architectural Engineering

Construction projects are associated with construction and demolition waste (CDW) generated at different stages. In Egypt’s case, the CDW problem has become a significant challenge, and the need to find sustainable solutions is overwhelming. Based on recent investigations in the literature, it was found that six main factors are affecting CDW reduction (CDWR) as follows: (1) waste-efficient materials procurement measures; (2) waste-efficient materials procurement models; (3) green materials procurement approach; (4) legislation; (5) culture & behaviour; and (6) awareness. In this study, a representative sample of Egyptian construction firms was screened to (1) investigate the applicability and effectiveness of CDWR …

Hiv-1 Vpu Protein Forms Stable Oligomers In Aqueous Solution Via Its Transmembrane Domain Self-Association, Saman Majeed, Lan Dang, Md Majharul Islam, Olamide Ishola, Peter P Borbat, Steven J Ludtke, Elka R Georgieva

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

We report our findings on the assembly of the HIV-1 protein Vpu into soluble oligomers. Vpu is a key HIV-1 protein. It has been considered exclusively a single-pass membrane protein. Previous observations show that this protein forms stable oligomers in aqueous solution, but details about these oligomers still remain obscure. This is an interesting and rather unique observation, as the number of proteins transitioning between soluble and membrane embedded states is limited. In this study we made use of protein engineering, size exclusion chromatography, cryoEM and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to better elucidate the nature of the soluble oligomers. …

Strategies For Maintaining Brain Health: The Role Of Stroke Risk Factors Unique To Elderly Women, Melvin E Klegerman, Tao Peng, Shao-Ling Huang, Brion Frierson, Melanie R Moody, Hyunggun Kim, David D Mcpherson

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

We have conducted a stability study of a complex liposomal pharmaceutical product, Atheroglitatide (AGT), stored at three temperatures, 4, 24, and 37 °C, for up to six months. The six parameters measured were functions of liposomal integrity (size and number), drug payload (loading efficiency), targeting peptide integrity (conjugation efficiency and specific avidity), and echogenicity (ultrasound-dependent controlled drug release), which were considered most relevant to the product's intended use. At 4 °C, liposome diameter trended upward, indicative of aggregation, while liposome number per mg lipid and echogenicity trended downward. At 24 °C, peptide conjugation efficiency (CE) and targeting efficiency (TE, specific …

Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is a lethal disease characterized by genomic and clinical heterogeneity. By integrating 8 previously established genomic signatures for GAC subtypes, we identified 6 clinically and molecularly distinct genomic consensus subtypes (CGSs). CGS1 have the poorest prognosis, very high stem cell characteristics, and high IGF1 expression, but low genomic alterations. CGS2 is enriched with canonical epithelial gene expression. CGS3 and CGS4 have high copy number alterations and low immune reactivity. However, CGS3 and CGS4 differ in that CGS3 has high HER2 activation, while CGS4 has high SALL4 and KRAS activation. CGS5 has the high mutation burden and moderately …

Three Horizons For Future Geoscience, S Iain, Angela C Maria, M Hassina, M Kombada, R Munira, M Raji

More Faculty of Science and Engineering Research

Geoscience, along with other scientific disciplines, is being increasingly challenged on how it can best confront key global challenges, such as climate change, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, human conflict and migration, and persistent poverty. But its traditional association with exploitation of the planet’s natural resources for energy and materials links it with contemporary concerns around unsustainable human practices, arguably fueling a growing disenchantment that is most evident in declining enrollment in university geoscience courses in many countries. Therefore, a fresh re-framing of the geoscience’s relationship to society would seem to be urgently needed. In response to this need, we introduce …

Revolutionizing Space: A Case Study On Accessibility And Comfort, Jennifer Macmartin

sprinkle: an undergraduate journal of feminist and queer studies

Influenced by a dynamic and revolutionary crip theory, this piece seeks to operationalize the combination of crip theory/disability studies and intersectional feminist praxis. Dis/ability is consistently disregarded as a central social identity, as the world has been literally built and maintained by (temporarily) able-bodied people with the intent to accommodate able-bodied people’s needs and comfort. DeafSpace, a revolutionary project prioritizing deaf people’s needs and comfort, serves as a case study for potential revolutionary architectural projects that focus on dis/ability accommodation, accessibility, and comfort. However, in seeking additional solutions to this issue, we must be conscious of tokenizing the experiences of …
