Evaluating The Influence Of Recent Tectonic Activity On The River Evolution Using The Identification Of Knickpoints In The South Of Central Alborz Belt, Masoomeh Alaei, Alireza Nadimi, Homayon Safaei, Maryam Dehbozorgi

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Change in the steepness of river profiles caused by tectonic forces (uplift and material weakening in fault zones) causes the formation of the tectonically formed knickpoints (TFKs), which is an important geomorphic feature in bedrock river morphology. In this research, knickpoints in a wide area of the south of Central Alborz using the stream gradient (Gd) and the normalized steepness index (k$_{sn}$) were identified. According to the location of the knickpoints in relation to the faults in the area, the TFKs were identified. Analysis of the extracted TFKs with the longitudinal profile, logarithm slope-area plots, and natural logarithm gradient-distance plots …

The Effects Of Ultra-Marathon Trail Running And The Physiological Response Of Stress On Salivary Biomarkers, Kevan W. Stout, Jeremy R. Pearson, Catherine A. Hambleton, Jake A. Deckert, Philip M. Gallagher

Journal of Human Performance in Extreme Environments

PURPOSE: This study investigated changes in salivary α-amylase (sAA), cortisol, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) concentrations following completion of an ultra-marathon trail run (UMT) to better understand the physiological stressors imposed by this extreme type of race. METHODS: Eight subjects participated in this study. Each subject completed a 50 km UMT. Two-minute oral salivary swabs were taken 10 minutes prior to race start and again within 1 minute of race finish. Samples were analyzed for sAA, cortisol and IL-1β using ELISA kits. RESULTS: Our results demonstrated a significant increase in both sAA (p = 0.002) and cortisol (p < 0.001) from baseline. No significant differences were observed for IL-1β. There was no significant relationship between the observed sAA increase and race speed. The observed increase in cortisol was significantly correlated with race speed (R² = 0.582, p …

Aggressive End-Of-Life Care Across Gradients Of Cognitive Impairment In Nursing Home Patients With Metastatic Cancer, Siran M. Koroukian, Sara L. Douglas, Long Vu, Hannah L. Fein, Nicholas K. Schiltz, Jennifer Cullen, Cynthia Owusu, Martha Sajatovic, Johnie Rose

Faculty Scholarship

Background: Studies examining end-of-life (EOL) care in older cancer patients are scarce, and prior studies have not accounted for gradients of cognitive impairment (COG-I). We examine EOL care patterns across COG-I gradients, hypothesizing that greater COG-I severity is associated with lower odds of receiving aggressive EOL care. Methods: Using data from the linked Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) -Medicare -Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0, we identified patients with nursing facility stays (NFS) and who died with metastatic cancer from 2013 to 2017. Markers of aggressive EOL care were: cancer-directed treatment, intensive care unit admission, >1 emergency department visit, or …

Optimizing The Timing Of Biologic And Surgical Therapy For Patients With Refractory Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyposis (Crswnp), Emily Garvey, Bita Naimi, Alexander Duffy, Paavali Hannikainen, Chase Kahn, Douglas Farquhar, Marc Rosen, Mindy R. Rabinowitz, Elina Toskala, Gurston G. Nyquist

Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is often treated with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS); however, patients may require revision surgery due to recurrence. To date, no studies have compared outcomes for combined surgery and biologic therapy for CRSwNP compared with biologic therapy alone.

METHODS: Retrospective case-control study of CRSwNP patients who underwent ESS while on dupilumab or mepolizumab (ESS-biologic cohort) compared with CRSwNP patients on biologic therapy (biologic-only controls). Cohorts were matched according to indication, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22), and total polyp scores.

RESULTS: Sixteen patients underwent ESS while on biologic therapy (13 dupilumab and …

Three Essays In Brand Management. A Multi-Method Approach, Svetlana Tokareva

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This three-essay dissertation is centered on brand management. The first essay applies a bibliometric approach and analyzes 761 brand extension articles published between 1990 and 2022 using data from Scopus and Web of Science databases and citations from Google Scholar. Systematically exploring key themes, contributions, and citation patterns, the results demonstrate the evolution of research themes for the last three decades by examining central and emerging themes as well as their transformation. Based on the performance analysis and science mapping, the study identifies several gaps in brand extension research and suggests future research opportunities. The second essay employs an event …

Investigation Of Modern Leakage Based On Numerical And Geochemical Modeling Near A Municipal Well Field In Memphis, Tennessee., Khairul Hasan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Local leakage processes and potential migration pathways of modern water (<60 >years) from the shallow aquifer, into the underlying semiconfined Memphis aquifer, were evaluated to assess the vulnerability of groundwater in Memphis Light, Gas and Water’s (MLGW) Sheahan well field. To identify the source(s) and pathways of modern water, integrated hydrostratigraphic analysis, numerical modeling, hydrologic tracers, and geochemical modeling were utilized. The percentage of modern water present in Memphis aquifer production wells is estimated using inverse geochemical modeling, lumped parameter modeling, and solute transport modeling with Modular Transport, 3-Dimensional, Multi-Species model (MT3DMS). The mixing percentages determined from lumped parameter modeling …

Annotation Of Non-Model Species’ Genomes, Taiya Jarva

Master's Theses

The innovations in high throughput sequencing technologies in recent decades has allowed unprecedented examination and characterization of the genetic make-up of both model and non-model species, which has led to a surge in the use of genomics in fields which were previously considered unfeasible. These advances have greatly expanded the realm of possibilities in the fields of ecology and conservation. It is now possible to the identification of large cohorts of genetic markers, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and larger structural variants, as well as signatures of selection and local adaptation. Markers can be used to identify species, define population …
