Recent Emergence Of Bovine Coronavirus Variants With Mutations In The Hemagglutinin-Esterase Receptor Binding Domain In U.S. Cattle, Aspen M. Workman, Tara G. Mcdaneld, Gregory P. Harhay, Subha Das, John Dustin Loy, Benjamin M. Hause

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) has spilled over to many species, including humans, where the host range variant coronavirus OC43 is endemic. The balance of the opposing activities of the surface spike (S) and hemagglutinin-esterase (HE) glycoproteins controls BCoV avidity, which is critical for interspecies transmission and host adaptation. Here, 78 genomes were sequenced directly from clinical samples collected between 2013 and 2022 from cattle in 12 states, primarily in the Midwestern U.S. Relatively little genetic diversity was observed, with genomes having >98% nucleotide identity. Eleven isolates collected between 2020 and 2022 from four states (Nebraska, Colorado, California, and Wisconsin) contained a …

Characterization Of Superconducting Hardware For Implementing Quantum Stabilizers, Kenneth Richard Dodge

Dissertations - ALL

Superconducting qubits are one of the leading approaches being investigated for building a scalable quantum computer. In the presence of external noise and perturbations plus local microscopic fluctuations and dissipation in the qubit environment, arbitrary quantum states will decohere, leading to bit-flip and phase-flip errors of the qubit. In order to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer that can preserve and process quantum information in the presence of noise and dissipation, one must implement some form of quantum error correction. Stabilizer operations are at the heart of quantum error correction and are typically implemented in software-controlled entangling gates and measurements of …

Editorial: Exploring The Technological Needs Of Older Adults: Advances In Design, Functionality, User Experience, And Age-Related Cognitive And Sensory Aids To Facilitate Adoption, Alex Chaparro, Cristina Cachero, Joanne M. Wood

Publications

The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, communication, and automation have been the catalyst for the development of a host of new technologies that allow older users to monitor their own health (via wearables), maintain their independence (semi-autonomous driving), social connections (smart home devices), and compensate for a range of age-related sensory changes (hearing aids, smart glasses, augmented displays, etc.). Less well understood is how older users get acquainted with these innovations, how their design and functionality need to be adapted to improve older users’ performance and experience, and which factors and interventions help or hinder technology adoption and use …

「迷霧時期」香港文學的「邊界」探索（1997-2014） : 論陳冠中、黃碧雲、韓麗珠小說中的文化身分, Yat Long Wong

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

臨近九七，在歷史鎂光燈的照耀下，圍繞著回歸命題的香港文學研究蔚然成風；走過2014年的社會動盪，香港文學與社會關懷的傳統課題重啟，漸成研究的焦點。然而，介乎兩者之間的一段時期，受限於好像「什麼都沒有發生」的表徵，一直未受到研究者廣泛的關注。故本文提出1997-2014年為「迷霧時期」的時間概念，結合霍米．巴巴（Homi K. Bhabha）的「邊界」（boundary）觀念，試圖相對立體地展現出這時期香港文學的發展面貌，並延伸至對文化身分（cultural identity）的思索。巴巴提出「揉雜」（hybridity）和「超越」（beyond）等概念，視「邊界」為突破傳統二元對立框架的流動文化觀念，有助我們思考文學與身分的複雜性。本文以「邊界」為方法，分別討論陳冠中、黃碧雲和韓麗珠三位代表不同年代和面向的香港當代重要作家的小說作品。陳冠中一章環繞「國籍」與「城籍」的「邊界」；黃碧雲一章聚焦「世界」與「本位」的「邊界」；韓麗珠一章關注「個人」與「社會」的「邊界」，每章各有側重的同時，共同編織橫跨三層維度的「邊界」網絡，立體地展現出「迷霧時期」香港文學的各種面向。總結是次研究所得，以「邊界」為方法有效地呈現出「迷霧時期」香港文學的發展面貌，勾勒出不同年代的作家在回歸後探尋「位置」的異同，補足了這時期香港文學研究的空白，並以文學的獨特視角，豐富對文化身分的討論。在邊緣性的文化身分的基礎上，陳冠中、黃碧雲和韓麗珠分別呈現出對回歸後香港前景的不同展望，從審慎樂觀到悲觀，立體地呈現出「迷霧時期」文化身分的複雜性。

Book Ban Opponents Face An Uphill Battle With Current Discretionary Review Standards, Zach Cihlar

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

On October 25th, 2021, Texas State Representative Matt Krause, in his capacity as Chairman of the Committee on General Investigating, circulated a letter addressed to the Texas Education Agency and school-district superintendents. The letter requested that superintendents identify and investigate a list of 800 books possibly held in their districts’ libraries that might contain topics ranging from human sexuality to HIV/AIDS to any material that “might make students feel discomfort, guilt, anguish . . . or psychological distress because of their race or sex . . . .”

70 Years Of Dance: Copyrighting Choreography Since 1952, Annie Planker

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Choreography has long been a subject of controversy in the world of copyright. Despite its significance in the artistic community and the rise of social media in our everyday lives, choreography has not received the same property protections as other artforms, such as music, painting or sculpture. This is partly due to the transient nature of choreography; copyright law requires “fixed expressions” of works. It is also due to a legal hesitation to limit “social” arts. Lawmakers have little desire to prohibit large masses from participating in cultural activities.

Impact Of Zirconia Slurry In Steel Powder On Melt Pool Characteristics In Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Taylor Davis, Tracy W. Nelson, Nathan B. Crane

Faculty Publications

Purpose – dding dopants to a powder bed could be a cost-effective method for spatially varying the material properties in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) or for evaluating new materials and processing relationships. However, these additions may impact the selection of processing parameters. Furthermore, these impacts may be different when depositing nanoparticles into the powder bed than when the same composition is incorporated into the powder particles as by ball milling of powders or mixing similarly sized powders. This study aims to measure the changes in the single bead characteristics with laser power, laser scan speed, laser spot size and …

Blood-Brain Barrier Opening In A Large Animal Model Using Closed-Loop Microbubble Cavitation-Based Feedback Control Of Focused Ultrasound Sonication, Chih-Yen Chien, Lu Xu, Christopher Pham Pacia, Yimei Yue, Hong Chen

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with microbubbles has been established as a promising technique for noninvasive and localized Blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening. Real-time passive cavitation detection (PCD)-based feedback control of the FUS sonication is critical to ensure effective BBB opening without causing hemorrhage. This study evaluated the performance of a closed-loop feedback controller in a porcine model. Calibration of the baseline cavitation level was performed for each targeted brain location by a FUS sonication in the presence of intravenously injected microbubbles at a low acoustic pressure without inducing BBB opening. The target cavitation level (TCL) was defined for each target …

Molecular Pathways Enhance Drug Response Prediction Using Transfer Learning From Cell Lines To Tumors And Patient-Derived Xenografts

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Computational models have been successful in predicting drug sensitivity in cancer cell line data, creating an opportunity to guide precision medicine. However, translating these models to tumors remains challenging. We propose a new transfer learning workflow that transfers drug sensitivity predicting models from large-scale cancer cell lines to both tumors and patient derived xenografts based on molecular pathways derived from genomic features. We further compute feature importance to identify pathways most important to drug response prediction. We obtained good performance on tumors (AUROC = 0.77) and patient derived xenografts from triple negative breast cancers (RMSE = 0.11). Using feature importance, …
