On Algebraic Aspects And Functoriality Of The Set Of Unbounded Operators Affiliated With A Von Neumann Algebra, Indrajit Ghosh

Doctoral Theses

In quantum theory, physically meaningful observables such as position and momentum are modeled by unbounded self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces. To study such operators in a rigorous mathematical framework, Murray and von Neumann introduced the concept of affiliation with a von Neumann algebra, giving rise to what are now known as Murray–von Neumann affiliated operators. For a single (unbounded) self-adjoint operator, its spectral projections span an abelian von Neumann algebra to which the operator is affiliated. If we want a common framework to study families of (unbounded) self-adjoint operators which do not necessarily commute with each other, it is instructive …

Hydralazine (HYZ), a treatment for preeclampsia and hypertensive crisis, is listed by the World Health Organization as an essential medicine. Its mode of action has remained unknown through its seven decades of clinical use. Here, we identify 2-aminoethanethiol dioxygenase (ADO), a key mediator of targeted protein degradation, as a selective HYZ target. The drug chelates ADO's metallocofactor and can alkylate one of its ligands. The resultant inactivation stabilizes regulators of G protein signaling (RGS4 and RGS5) that ADO normally marks for proteolysis, explaining the drug's vasodilatory activity and comporting with observations of diminished RGS levels in both clinical preeclampsia and …

Using Behavioral Skills Training And In Situ Training To Teach Game-Related Social Skills, Sumeyye Erdem

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Social skills are important for individuals to be successful, therefore programs that seek to improve social skills of individuals with autism and other disabilities are important (e.g., Agran et al., 2016; Miltenberger et al., 2017). The context of playing games has been used to teach children specific skills and may be a valuable way to promote generalization of social skills (e.g., Amadi et al., 2022; Radley et al., 2014). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) for teaching social skills to children and adolescents using a game format and assess whether these …

Understanding Callus Types In Maize By Genetic Mapping And Transcriptional Profiling, Guifang Lin, Yan Liu, Tej Man Tamang, Yang Qin, Mingxia Zhao, Hairong Wei, Et. Al.

Michigan Tech Publications

Plant transformation efficiency is highly dependent on species, individual genotypes, and tissue types. In maize, immature embryos are regularly used for transformation. The process relies heavily on callus development, as it is intricately associated with somatic embryogenesis and subsequent plant regeneration, both of which directly affect transformation efficiency. Immature embryos of the segregation progeny derived from the two inbred parents, a transformation-amenable line A188 and a recalcitrant line B73, can be cultured to form two primary callus types: Type I and Type II. The Type II callus grows faster and is a favorable type for regeneration. Here, Type I and …

Michigan Tech Publications

This work aims to provide updated information and insights on the contamination by halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) of the Great Lakes sediments. Thirty HFRs, including polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), dechlorane plus (DPs), and other chlorinated (CFRs) or brominated (BFRs) chemicals, were measured in 400 sediment surface grab and core segment samples from Lakes Erie and Ontario. The data were combined with those from Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron to provide a comprehensive region-wide analysis. Together, the target HFRs in the Great Lakes sediment amount to approximately 420 tonnes. Among the five lakes, Lake Ontario had the highest concentrations of CFRs, …

Twenty Minutes Of Corsi Block Tapping Task Training Does Not Improve Mental Rotation In Adults With Stroke, Sarah A. Kettlety, Giuliet L. Kibler, Andrew Hooyman, Christina K. Holl, Sydney Y. Schaefer, Kristan A. Leech

Physical Therapy Faculty Articles and Research

Background: Visuospatial function is commonly impaired post-stroke and is associated with motor learning and recovery. A single, twenty-minute Corsi Block Tapping Task (CBTT) training session improved visuospatial function in young neurotypical adults; however, it is unclear whether this training would improve visuospatial function in adults with stroke.

Objective: To understand if a single, twenty-minute CBTT training session improved visuospatial function in adults with stroke compared to a no-training control group of adults with stroke.

Methods: Participants post-stroke were assigned to one of two groups. The training group completed twenty minutes of computerized CBTT training. The control group completed a survey …

Decadal Changes In Ground-Layer Plant Communities Reflect Maple Dieback And Earthworm Invasion In National Forests In The Lake Superior Region, Usa, Tara Bal, Manuel Eduardo Anderson, Mattison E. Brady, Julia I. Burton, Christopher R. Webster

Michigan Tech Publications

Northern hardwood forests of the Lake Superior region face a series of novel disturbance pressures including canopy dieback. Previous studies have linked regional sugar-maple (Acer saccharum) canopy dieback to introduced earthworms, which may have coinciding impacts on the ground-layer plant community. Dieback–earthworm interactions may lead to important longer-term changes in forest structure and function, but these relationships but have not been characterized. We sampled ground-layer plant communities in five national forest units in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in 2010, and again just over a decade later in 2021. Non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination and indicator species analysis were used to assess …

Topology Across Scales On Heterogeneous Cell Data, M. Torras-Pérez, Iris Yoon , '13, P. Weeratunga, L.-P. Ho, H. M. Byrne, U. Tillmann, H. A. Harrington

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Works

Multiplexed imaging allows multiple cell types to be simultaneously visualised in a single tissue sample, generating unprecedented amounts of spatially-resolved, biological data. In topological data analysis, persistent homology provides multiscale descriptors of “shape" suitable for the analysis of such spatial data. Here we propose a novel visualisation of persistent homology (PH) and fine-tune vectorisations thereof (exploring the effect of different weightings for persistence images, a prominent vectorisation of PH). These approaches offer new biological interpretations and promising avenues for improving the analysis of complex spatial biological data especially in multiple cell type data. To illustrate our methods, we apply them …
