Adeno-Associated Virus (Aav) Reduces Cortical Dendritic Complexity In A Tlr9-Dependent Manner, Christos M. Suriano, Jessica L. Verpeut, Neerav Kumar, Jie Ma, Caroline Jung, Lisa M. Boulanger

Department of Biology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) allow rapid and efficient gene delivery in the nervous system. AAVs are widely used in research and are the basis of multiple FDA-approved gene therapies. Here, we find that the immune response to AAV’s genome reduces dendritic complexity in mammalian cortex. Dendritic loss associated with AAV-mediated gene delivery occurs at experimentally-relevant titers, cannot be explained by responses to transgene expression or surgery, and is not restricted to a particular capsid serotype, encoded transgene, promoter, or production facility. AAV-associated dendritic loss is accompanied by a decrease in the frequency and amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) …

The Evaluation Of Graduate Nurses' Performance Gaps In Blood Administration, Vanessa M. Schott

Dissertations

New nurse graduates are expected to help relieve the current and pending massive nursing shortage anticipated in the nursing field (Goode, Reid Ponte, & Sullivan Havens, 2016). However, there is a discrepancy between evaluations of new graduate readiness and the expectation to provide competent complex care. Ninety percent of undergraduate nursing education leaders feel new graduate nurses are prepared to practice, yet 90% of hospital nurse administrators disagree. When graduate nurses participating in nurse residency programs perform self-assessments on procedural readiness, emergency management and blood product administration/transfusion are frequently in the top three skills/procedures they feel uncomfortable performing independently. Yet …

Center for Applied Energy Research Faculty and Staff Publications

The effect of activation environment (N₂, H₂ and H₂S/H₂) on the hydrocracking performance of a NiMo/Al catalyst was studied at 380 °C and 3.5 MPa using octacosane (C₂₈). The catalyst physical structure and acidity were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM-EDX and FTIR techniques. The N₂ activation generated more active nonsulfided NiMo/Al catalyst relative to the H₂ or H₂S activation (X_C28, 70–80% versus 6–10%). For a comparison, a NiMo/Si-Al catalyst was also tested after normal H₂ activation and showed higher activity at the same process …

Conjunctional Concepts: The Conceptual Teaching Technique In Biology Classes, Igor V. Zaitsev

Publications and Research

Conceptual teaching relies on concepts in conjunction with a bigger conceptual category (or categories). Revealing and using conceptual conjunctions in the science classroom means teaching conceptually. To make conceptual teaching more accessible to biology instructors, a three-concept model was described to be used during a lecture. This model has allowed the author to develop a relatively simple method that starts with an active concept or concepts, then introduces conjunctional and supporting concepts to relate the content to other concepts and relevant real-world applications. This method is intended to help instructors in preparing to teach biological concepts conceptually, in order to …

Contemporary Cost Management Techniques: The Appropriate Alternative To The Traditional Cost Accounting Systems Applied In The Iraqi Industrial Units – An Applied Case, Faiza Ibrahim Mahmoud Al-Ghabbana

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences

The changes in the contemporary business environment have led to the need to develop traditional cost accounting systems applied to industrial firms, which focus mainly on the cost of manufacturing and ways to allocate indirect manufacturing costs to products. The main problem of research has been that traditional cost accounting methods are no longer suitable for application in modern business conditions where there is an increase in the use of technology and dynamic changes in customers’ preferences, global competition conditions, as well as challenges to the survival of industrial firms in the market. Modern cost management techniques therefore focus on …

Using Dialectic Thematic Analysis In Dark Tourism: Combining Deductive And Inductive Reasoning In A Modular Method, Martin Maccarthy

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

This study combines the results of two antithetical research processes: induction and deduction. Using a prescribed dialectic method commemorative pilgrimage at two non-substitutable sites is explored. A metamodel, comprising an amalgam of published commemorative models and ideas is first constructed and used as the project's interpretive frame. Parsing the metamodel produces 17 constructs: four of which are motives (inputs) and 11 of which are typified behaviours (outputs). The combined data from two Australian memorials; one in Western Australia and one in France is then analysed using the metamodel as representative of existing theory. The constructs are then deduced whilst simultaneously …

In the present study, the efect of alkaline earth metal oxide (CaO) loading (varying from 0.5-2.0 wt. %) on the structure, properties, stability, and …

Modelling Fresh Properties Of Self-Compacting Concrete (Scc) Incorporating Cassava Peel Ash (Cpa), M.T. Abdulwahab, O.A.U. Uche

Platform: A Journal of Engineering

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that fows under its weight, completely flling formwork even in areas of congested reinforcement without the need for vibration to attain adequate compaction. To achieve the SCC, a lower content of aggregates and high content of Portland Cement (PC) are required, which in turn consumes a lot of energy and emits greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4) to the atmosphere during the PC production. In this study, Cassava Peel Ash (CPA) was used as supplementary cementitious material to partially replace the PC by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Response …

Multiphase Drilling Kick Annular Flow Behaviour In Vertical And Inclined Well Profiles, Muhammad Fadrul Jamaludeen, Muhammad Aslam Bin Md Yusof

Platform: A Journal of Engineering

One of the exponentially important drilling parameter has many misconceptions, and prompt confusion is the drilling kick. The current conventional approach assume a single-phase bubble model and neglect the multiphase fow in the drilling kick calculations, which lead to diversifed solutions and misconceptions in well design. Hence, this study presents a mathematical model to analyse the behaviour of gas-liquid fow in diferent well profles, which are vertical and deviated wells up to 60 degree inclination. The model analysed the annular pressure and temperature profles as the infux rise to the surface. The methodology constructed to achieve the objective involve an …

Worldwide, ∼196 million are afflicted with endometriosis, a painful disease in which endometrial tissue implants and proliferates on abdominal peritoneal surfaces. Theories on the origin of endometriosis remained inconclusive. Whereas up to 90% of women experience retrograde menstruation, only 10% develop endometriosis, suggesting that factors that alter peritoneal environment might contribute to endometriosis. Herein, we report that whereas some gut bacteria promote endometriosis, others protect against endometriosis by fermenting fiber to produce short-chain fatty acids. Specifically, we found that altered gut microbiota drives endometriotic lesion growth and feces from mice with endometriosis contained less of short-chain fatty acid and n-butyrate …
