A Review Of Geopolymer Binder As A Grouting Material, Karla Sierra, Jinwoo An, Ryan Shamet, Jiannan Chen, Yong Je Kim, Boo Hyun Nam, Philip Park

Civil Engineering Faculty Publications

The utilization of geopolymer as a grouting material has gained significant attention in research and construction applications. Geopolymer grout is a type of binding material that differs from traditional grouts, typically based on Portland cement. Researchers have explored its effectiveness and potential applications in grouting processes, considering its unique properties and characteristics. In this paper, various studies employing and utilizing geopolymer as a grouting material are reviewed. The emphasis is on mixture design of geopolymer grout, physical property, chemical composition of geopolymer grout, rheological behavior of geopolymer grout such as yield stress (in case of Bingham fluid) and viscosity, and …

Leveraging Clinical Intuition To Improve Accuracy Of Phenotype-Driven Prioritization., Martha A Beckwith, Daniel Danis, Yasemin Bridges, Julius O B Jacobsen, Damian Smedley, Peter N Robinson

Faculty Research 2024

PURPOSE: Clinical intuition is commonly incorporated into the differential diagnosis as an assessment of the likelihood of candidate diagnoses based either on the patient population being seen in a specific clinic or on the signs and symptoms of the initial presentation. Algorithms to support diagnostic sequencing in individuals with a suspected rare genetic disease do not yet incorporate intuition and instead assume that each Mendelian disease has an equal pretest probability.

METHODS: The LIkelihood Ratio Interpretation of Clinical AbnormaLities (LIRICAL) algorithm calculates the likelihood ratio of clinical manifestations represented by Human Phenotype Ontology terms to rank candidate diagnoses. The initial …

Re-Evaluating Hypertragulid Diversity In The John Day Basin, Oregon, Usa, Nicholas A. Famoso, Lana K. Jewell

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Despite their relative abundance, members of the family Hypertragulidae (Artiodactyla, Mammalia) have proved a conundrum regarding species diversity in the Turtle Cove Member (Oligocene) of the John Day Formation, located in central and eastern Oregon. Three species and two separate genera are described in the area, but previous research lacks statistical support for this level of variation. We use coefficients of variation (V) on measurements of dentition and astragali of hypertragulid specimens designated Hypertragulus hesperius, Hypertragulus minutus, and Nanotragulus planiceps as a metric for determining whether there were multiple species present in the population. Asymptotic and modified signed-likelihood ratio V …

Estimation And Inference In A Possibly Multi-Cointegrated System With A Fixed Number Of Instruments, Yixiao Sun, Peter C.B. Phillips, Igor Kheifets

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This note shows that the mixed normal asymptotic limit of the trend IV estimator with a fixed number of deterministic instruments (fTIV) holds in both singular (multicointegrated) and nonsingular cointegration systems, thereby relaxing the exogeneity condition in (Phillips and Kheifets, 2024, Theorem 1(ii)). The mixed normality of the limiting distribution of fTIV allows for asymptotically pivotal F tests about the cointegration parameters and for simple efficiency comparisons of the estimators for different numbers K of instruments, as well as comparisons with the trend IV estimator when K → ∞ with the sample size.

Oer As Transformation Tool: How Colorado's Oer Community Creates Change Beyond Textbooks, Jennifer Mayer, Chealsye Bowley, Katie Brown, Teresa Connolly, Nicholas Swails

University Libraries Publications

OER is used to transform the affordability of education, but OER can also be used as a tool for cultural change across an institution or state. In Colorado, the open education community has used OER as a tool to advance justice, equity, diversity and inclusion; disciplinary, institutional, and state-level cultural change; and to advocate for student interests. Presenters representing a two-year college, four-year universities, and state government will discuss how their individual institutions and the state OER Council have leveraged OER to cultivate change from implementing state government-level funding for the development of OER to OER being used to lay …

Advances In Electrospun Poly(Ε-Caprolactone)-Based Nanofibrous Scaffolds For Tissue Engineering, Karla N. Robles, Fatima Tuz Zahra, Richard Mu, Todd Giorgio

Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Faculty Research

Tissue engineering has great potential for the restoration of damaged tissue due to injury or disease. During tissue development, scaffolds provide structural support for cell growth. To grow healthy tissue, the principal components of such scaffolds must be biocompatible and nontoxic. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a biopolymer that has been used as a key component of composite scaffolds for tissue engineering applications due to its mechanical strength and biodegradability. However, PCL alone can have low cell adherence and wettability. Blends of biomaterials can be incorporated to achieve synergistic scaffold properties for tissue engineering. Electrospun PCL-based scaffolds consist of single or blended-composition …

Fleischer Cohen, Gloria, Kathryn Amend

Bronx Jewish History Project

Summarizer: Sophia Maier

Gloria Fleischer Cohen, b. 1934, was raised by foreign born parents on Thieriot Avenue. Her family had moved there when she was very young after their apartment was robbed; the area around Thieriot Avenue, conversely, was safer. Fleischer Cohen describes the neighborhood as primarily Jewish, with others like Italians and Irish, with apartment houses like her own and private houses. As a child she would play in the street, games like jump rope, punch ball, and roller skating. In the summers, she went to Castle Hill Pool and Orchard Beach. She attended PS 102 and later Hunter …

Systematic Perturbations Of Setd2, Nsd1, Nsd2, Nsd3, And Ash1l Reveal Their Distinct Contributions To H3k36 Methylation, Gerry A Shipman, Reinnier Padilla, Cynthia Horth, Bo Hu, Eric Bareke, Francisca N Vitorino, Joanna M Gongora, Benjamin A Garcia, Chao Lu, Jacek Majewski

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Methylation of histone 3 lysine 36 (H3K36me) has emerged as an essential epigenetic component for the faithful regulation of gene expression. Despite its importance in development and disease, how the molecular agents collectively shape the H3K36me landscape is unclear.

RESULTS: We use mouse mesenchymal stem cells to perturb the H3K36me methyltransferases (K36MTs) and infer the activities of the five most prominent enzymes: SETD2, NSD1, NSD2, NSD3, and ASH1L. We find that H3K36me2 is the most abundant of the three methylation states and is predominantly deposited at intergenic regions by NSD1, and partly by NSD2. In contrast, H3K36me1/3 are most …

The Heart-Brain Axis: Exploring Shared Genetic Signatures And Environmental Modifiers On Heart Failure And Alzheimer’S Disease Pathology, Helen Butler

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Heart failure (HF) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are two leading causes of death in the United States. Conventionally viewed as independent conditions, HF/AD coexist in ~30% of patients and are mechanistically linked by shared genetic and biochemical characteristics. The del Monte lab has established the concept of the heart-brain axis through human samples and murine models, providing a framework for this dissertation which focuses on the interplay between genetics and the environment in shaping the heterogeneity of disease phenotypes.

1) Loss of function mutations in presenilin (PSEN1/2) genes represent overlapping genetic signatures in AD/HF. Presenilins form the g-secretase …

Diverse Disconnectedness: Homophily, Social Capital Inequality, And Student Experiences In Law School, Anthony Paik, Swethaa Ballakrishnen, Carole Silver, Steven Boutcher, Tanya Rouleau Whitworth

Faculty Publications

Law school students are encouraged frequently to “network.” However, depending on demographic categories, they may have access to differently resourced social networks in law school. In this article, we draw from our mixed-methods research to explore this diversity of experience, its limitations of access, and the possible network inequalities that may limit the value of legal education to diverse students across different institutional contexts. Using survey and network data (N = 744), collected during the fall of 2019 from three law schools, as well as supplementary interview data (N = 55), we examined students’ social networks, the structures of these …
