Head Removal Enhances Planarian Electrotaxis, Ziad Sabry , '21, Rui Wang, A. Jahromi, Christina Rabeler, W. B. Kristan Iii, Eva-Maria S. Collins

Biology Faculty Works

Certain animal species utilize electric fields for communication, hunting and spatial orientation. Freshwater planarians move toward the cathode in a static electric field (cathodic electrotaxis). This planarian behavior was first described by Raymond Pearl more than a century ago. However, planarian electrotaxis has received little attention since, and the underlying mechanisms and evolutionary significance remain unknown. To close this knowledge gap, we developed an apparatus and scoring metrics for automated quantitative and mechanistic studies of planarian behavior upon exposure to a static electric field. Using this automated setup, we characterized electrotaxis in the planarian Dugesia japonica and found that this …

Pretrial Detention By A Preponderance: The Constitutional And Interpretive Shortcomings Of The Flight-Risk Standard, Jaden M. Lessnick

University of Chicago Law Review

Pretrial detention seriously restricts the physical liberty of presumptively innocent people who have yet to be tried and convicted. The Bail Reform Act (BRA) imposes several procedural requirements that must be satisfied before a judge can order the pretrial detention of a federal defendant. At a detention hearing, the BRA allows a judge to order the pretrial detention of an arrestee who poses either a danger to the community or a flight risk. The BRA states unequivocally that a finding of dangerousness must be supported by clear and convincing evidence, but the statute is silent as to the evidentiary standard …

Sea Level Rise Estimation On The Pacific Coast From Southern California To Vancouver Island, Xiaoxing He, Jean-Philippe Montillet, Rui Fernandes, Timothy I. Melbourne, Weiping Jiang, Zhengkai Huang

Geological Sciences Faculty Scholarship

Previous studies have estimated the sea level rise (SLR) at various locations on the west coast of the USA and Vancouver Island in Canada. Here, we construct an entire SLR profile from Vancouver Island in the Pacific Northwest to San Diego in Southern California. First, we process global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements at 405 stations blanketing the whole coast to generate a profile of vertical land motion (VLM) known to bias century-long tide gauge (TG) measurements recording relative SLR (RSLR). We are then able to estimate the absolute SLR (ASLR) by correcting the SLR with the VLM. Our study …

Impact Of Extreme Heatwaves On Population Exposure In China Due To Additional Warming, Leibin Wang, Robert V. Rohli, Qigen Lin, Shaofei Jin, Xiaodong Yan

Faculty Publications

Extreme heatwaves are among the most important climate-related disasters affecting public health. Assessing heatwave-related population exposures under different warming scenarios is critical for climate change adaptation. Here, the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) multi-model ensemble output results are applied over several warming periods in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change AR6 report, to estimate China’s future heatwave population exposure under 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C warming scenarios. Our results show a significant increase in projected future annual heatwave days (HD) under both scenarios. With an additional temperature increase of 0.5 °C to 2.0 °C of warming, by mid-century …

Utilizing Nlp For Structure Learning To Understand Cancer Screening Uptake Utilizing Nlp For Structure Learning To Understand Cancer Screening Uptake, Matthew Davis

MUSC Conference Presentations

This talk will demonstrate how NLP combined with a causal analysis approach can be used to predict and understand cancer screening uptake. Screening recommendations for breast, lung and colorectal cancer put together by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) are based on reductions in relative risk of mortality by detecting cancers at early stages where more treatment options are available. However, not all those recommended to get screened are being screened, and there are many social and economic barriers to increasing uptake. To maximize the utility of electronic health record (EHR), data in free text problem lists, as well …

Advances In Research And Applications Of Co2-Based Demand-Controlled Ventilation In Commercial Buildings: A Critical Review Of Control Strategies And Performance Evaluation, Xing Lu, Zhihong Pang, Yangyang Fu, Zheng O'Neill

Faculty Publications

The carbon dioxide (CO2)-based demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) has attracted prompt attention from the Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) industry since its very first invention. Thereafter it has gone through several revolutions due to the rapid advancement in control and sensing technologies. Although a great variety of CO2-based DCV control strategies have been developed in the last two decades, there lacks a holistic literature review that systematically analyzes and summarizes advances and applications of CO2-based DCV in commercial buildings. This paper examines the recent advances in the CO2-based DCV in commercial buildings and focuses on discussing the control-related issues in the …

The Double-Edged Sword Of Safety Training For Safety Behavior: The Critical Role Of Psychological Factors During Covid-19, Xin Ning, Jiwen Huang, Chunlin Wu, Tong Liu, Chao Wang

Faculty Publications

Safety training (ST) is the primary means of avoiding unsafe behaviors, but it has not achieved the expected impact on improving workplace safety because of the high psychological stress it brings to workers. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) further threatens workers’ psychological conditions, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of ST. However, the existing literature has mainly laid emphasis on the bright side of ST and neglected examining its impact on safety behavior (SB) from detrimental psychological factors. Drawing from the conservation of resources theory, a novel two-staged model was established to understand how these psychological factors mediate and moderate the association …

Charging Drivers By The Gallon Vs. The Mile: An Equity Analysis By Geography And Income In California, Samuel Speroni, Asha Weinstein Agrawal, Michael Manville, Brian D. Taylor

Mineta Transportation Institute

This study used data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey California Add-On sample to explore how replacing the current state vehicle fuel tax with a flat-per-mile-rate road-user charge (RUC) would affect costs for different kinds of households. We first estimated how household vehicle fuel efficiency, mileage, and fuel tax expenditures vary by geography (rural vs. urban) and by income. These findings were then used to estimate how much different types of households pay in the current per-gallon state fuel tax, what they would pay if the state were to replace fuel taxes with a flat-rate road-usage charge (RUC) that …

Twilytics: A Social Perception Analysis Of Public Transit Systems During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Egbe-Etu Etu, Imokhai Tenebe, Ankur Parma, Likhitha Yelamanchili, Dang Minh Nhu Nguyen, Louis Tran, Ihor Markevych

Mineta Transportation Institute

In the United States, public transit ridership in 2020 declined by 79% compared to 2019 levels. With lockdowns implemented during the early days of the pandemic, direct human-to-human interactions migrated to virtual platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit). Social media platforms have aided researchers in answering numerous questions about current societal dilemmas, including COVID-19. This study investigates the public’s perception of transit systems via a social media analysis given the emergence of vaccines and other COVID-19 preventive measures. Findings revealed themes of fear and confusion concerning the use of public transportation during the pandemic. The public had doubts regarding the …

Investigation Of Nanoparticle Ligand Systems For Solar Cell Applications, William Josul

Student Research and Creative Projects 2021-2022

Over the past several years, interest in nanoparticle-derived solar cells has increased due primarily to their low material cost, high potential efficiency, solution processability, and desirable and tunable optoelectronic properties. In this work, oleic acid-capped CdSe nanoparticles (CdSe-OLA) were synthesized. The surfaces of these particles were then modified with sodium 3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonate (MPS) and sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate (MES) via biphasic ligand exchange reactions to create particles that have a higher propensity to move charge in a working solar cell. The CdSe-OLA, CdSe-MPS and CdSe-MES particles were confirmed by 1H NMR, UV-Vis, and FTIR spectroscopy. Thin film solar cells containing these three nanoparticle …
