Carbon Metabolism And Multidrug Resistance In Bacillus Mobilis And Cupriavidus Campinensis Isolated From Cadmium-Spiked Soils, Philips O. Akinwole, Emma E.C. Jacobs '25, Nina G. Shaffer '25

Biology Faculty publications

Heavy metal contamination and antibiotic resistance are critical environmental and public health challenges, often exacerbated by co-selection pressures in polluted environments. This study identifies and characterizes Bacillus mobilis and Cupriavidus campinensis, two cadmium-tolerant bacterial species isolated from cadmium-amended soils with cadmium (Cd2+) concentrations exceeding those typically found in highly contaminated soils. Both species exhibited multidrug resistance and the ability to metabolize specific carbon substrates, including pyruvic acid methyl ester, itaconic acid, D-galactonic acid-γ-lactone, Tween-40, and Tween-80. These substrates enhance microbial activity and heavy metal bioavailability, supporting their potential roles in bioremediation, especially through the targeted introduction of …

Baku Mathematical Journal

This study presents a comprehensive case study investigating the application of Variational Physics-Informed Neural Networks (VPINNs) combined with B-spline test functions for solving the generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation in one space dimension. The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, a nonlinear fourth-order PDE, serves as a benchmark for modeling instabilities in fluid dynamics, combustion, and pattern formation. Our methodology leverages variational formulations to enhance solution accuracy while ensuring robust convergence. Through systematic numerical experiments, we demonstrate that VPINNs effectively capture complex dynamical behaviors in high-order nonlinear systems. The framework’s robustness is evaluated across different network architectures and multi-stage optimization strategies using Adam and L-BFGS optimizers. …

Attenuation Characteristics And Wave Impedance Inversion Of Depth-Domain Nonstationary Seismic Data, Ma Ming, Ma Feng

Coal Geology & Exploration

Background The efficient application of depth migration methods has enabled the extensive implementation of depth-domain seismic data interpretation. Previous studies on the impacts of time-to-depth conversion and velocity models merely determine that an increase in depth corresponds to reduced dominant wavenumber of seismic waves and waveform stretching, without considering the changes in amplitude and phase. Objective This study aims to accurately characterize the waveforms of nonstationary seismic signals in the depth domain and enhance the impedance inversion accuracy. Methods First, based on energy dissipation and frequency dispersion effects during the propagation of seismic waves, this study investigated the complex mapping …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Background: Accurate and portable diagnostic tools for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) remain a critical unmet need in clinical practice. Electroencephalography (EEG), with its noninvasiveness and high sensitivity, presents an ideal modality, yet traditional multi-channel EEG systems limit clinical convenience and practical deployment. Methods: We developed a novel CNN-Transformer hybrid model using only eight EEG channels selected from frontal regions to detect MDD. Minimal preprocessing steps (basic filtering) were applied to EEG data before the model automatically learned both local and global signal features through convolutional and self-attention mechanisms. We validated this method through comprehensive experiments, including within-dataset and cross-dataset evaluations, …

Adverse Childhood Experiences: How They Shape Employees' Perceptions, Experiences, And Performance In The Workplace, Marcia A. Beasley Sep 2025

Adverse Childhood Experiences: How They Shape Employees' Perceptions, Experiences, And Performance In The Workplace, Marcia A. Beasley

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The influence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) has been well researched, and the lifelong consequences of medical conditions have been documented. Recently, research has linked mental health concerns to ACEs, including depression, anxiety, and health risk behaviors. ACEs occur during important stages of childhood development and can disrupt these stages, leading to children learn maladaptive coping skills. The resultant maladaptive behaviors that are developed as a response to maltreatment may also hinder social relationships in adulthood. Given this, research is lacking on the influence of ACEs on perceptions in the workplace, especially from the employee’s perspective. This qualitative phenomenological study …

Fractional-Order Adaptive Terminal Sliding Mode Control For Synchronization Of Uncertain Chaotic Memristive Chua's Circuit, Dorukhan Asteki̇n, Fati̇h Adigüzel

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Memristive-based chaotic dynamical systems exhibit chaotic behavior with signals of unpredictable complex ity, making it difficult to achieve full synchronization in master-slave systems. Therefore, an advanced synchronization method is required to overcome the chaotic model uncertainties and external disturbances. In this study, a fractional order terminal sliding mode synchronization is proposed for the uncertain memristive chaotic Chua’s circuit. After presenting the integer-order model of the chaotic memristive Chua’s circuit, a fractional-order sliding surface-based non linear synchronization structure, incorporating the fractional derivative operator, is designed. The convergence of the synchronization closed-loop system is proven using Lyapunov theory. To demonstrate its effectiveness …
