Computational Modeling And Synthesis Of Pyridine Variants Of Benzoyl-Phenoxy-Acetamide With High Glioblastoma Cytotoxicity And Brain Tumor Penetration, Charles H. Ingraham, Joanna Stalinska, Sean C. Carson, Susan B. Colley, Monika Rak, Adam Lassak, Francesca Peruzzi, Krzysztof Reiss, Branko S. Jursic

School of Graduate Studies Faculty Publications

Glioblastomas are highly aggressive brain tumors for which therapeutic options are very limited. In a quest for new anti-glioblastoma drugs, we focused on specific structural modifications to the benzoyl-phenoxy-acetamide (BPA) structure present in a common lipid-lowering drug, fenofibrate, and in our first prototype glioblastoma drug, PP1. Here, we propose extensive computational analyses to improve the selection of the most effective glioblastoma drug candidates. Initially, over 100 structural BPA variations were analyzed and their physicochemical properties, such as water solubility (− logS), calculated partition coefficient (ClogP), probability for BBB crossing (BBB_SCORE), probability for CNS penetration (CNS-MPO) and calculated cardiotoxicity (hERG), were …

In this paper, we present the first high-speed video observation of a cloud-to-ground lightning flash and its associated downward-directed Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flash (TGF). The optical emission of the event was observed by a high-speed video camera running at 40,000 frames per second in conjunction with the Telescope Array Surface Detector, Lightning Mapping Array, interferometer, electric-field fast antenna, and the National Lightning Detection Network. The cloud-to-ground flash associated with the observed TGF was formed by a fast downward leader followed by a very intense return stroke peak current of −154 kA. The TGF occurred while the downward leader was below cloud …

Ultrasound-Assisted Bony Landmark Palpation In Untrained Palpators, Jared W. Nichols, Cindy Schmidt, Dipika Raghuraman, D'Arcy Turner

Student Publications

Context: Medical students with no previous experience may find it difficult to identify and palpate bony landmarks while learning physical examination skills. In a study of 168 medical schools, 72.6 % have indicated that they are utilizing ultrasound in their curriculum. Although the integration of ultrasound curriculum has become more widespread, the depth of instruction is inconsistent. Ultrasound is not commonly taught in conjunction with palpation of bony landmarks in osteopathic structural examination.

Objectives: The objective of this analysis was to identify whether utilizing ultrasound assistance in teaching palpation of specific thoracic vertebral bony landmarks would improve palpation accuracy in …

Federated Generalized Linear Mixed Models For Collaborative Genome-Wide Association Studies

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Federated association testing is a powerful approach to conduct large-scale association studies where sites share intermediate statistics through a central server. There are, however, several standing challenges. Confounding factors like population stratification should be carefully modeled across sites. In addition, it is crucial to consider disease etiology using flexible models to prevent biases. Privacy protections for participants pose another significant challenge. Here, we propose distributed Mixed Effects Genome-wide Association study (dMEGA), a method that enables federated generalized linear mixed model-based association testing across multiple sites without explicitly sharing genotype and phenotype data. dMEGA employs a reference projection to …

The Relation Of Oral And Silent Reading With Reading Comprehension Through The Use Of Eye-Tracking, Emily Kathryn Lewis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Although eye-tracking measures demonstrate the ability to provide unique contributions to reading research, use of these tools among child populations remains sparse and only one other study has explored the role of reading modality on eye movement behaviors among developing readers using structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. To address these concerns, this study utilized an eye-tracking tool to examine reading fluency and comprehension skills during oral and silent reading among 490 students in fourth and fifth grade. ANOVAs were used to examine grade and modality differences in eye movement behaviors. Grade level and reading modality significantly impacted participants’ rereading duration, …

What Unique Supportive Strategies Do Nonprofit Leaders Utilize To Promote Sustainability?, Mary Althea Edwards Harris

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Abstract Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) have been deemed important to communities. They are designed to fill gaps in community societal requirements by supplying resources, goods, and services that other companies in public sectors and neighborhoods do not offer. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the country reportedly has 1.5 million nonprofit organizations (NPOs). There are many NPOs in the United States, but statistical projections indicate that over half will fail, with 30% failing within a few years of their creation. Researchers have shown that NPOs collapse yearly due to various factors, including a lack of money and resources. These organizations …

Identification Of Aquitard Breaches Using Electrical Methods And Borehole Data In Shelby County, Tennessee, Md Rizwanul Hasan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Inter-aquifer exchange of poor-quality water through hydrogeologic windows or breaches (with absent or thin low-permeability layer) in confining units can affect the water quality of confined water-supply aquifers. Identifying breach location and geometry is essential for protecting and managing water resources. Previous studies provide evidence for 16 breaches in the upper Claiborne confining unit (UCCU) overlying the Memphis aquifer, a regionally important water-supply aquifer, in Shelby County, Tennessee. Researchers suggest that the breaches may result from the paleo-channel incision during the Eocene sea-level fall and the Quaternary incision by western Tennessee tributaries to the Mississippi River. This study utilizes electrical …
