Overview Of Optimal Experimental Design And A Survey Of Its Expanse In Application To Agricultural Studies, Stephen J. Walsh

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture and Natural Resources

Optimal Design of Experiments is currently recognized as the modern dominant approach to planning experiments in industrial engineering and manufacturing applications. This approach to design has gained traction among practitioners in the last two decades on two-fronts: 1) optimal designs are the result of a complicated optimization calculation and recent advances in both computing efficiency and algorithms have enabled this approach in real time for practitioners, and 2) such designs are now popular because they allow the researcher to ‘design for the experiment’ by working constraints, cost, number of experiments, and the model of the intended post-hoc data analysis into …

Will Reducing Drug Prices Slow Innovation?, Gregory Vaughan, Fred Ledley

Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

The pharmaceutical industry has long argued that high drug prices reflect the high cost of innovation and that reducing drug prices would necessarily slow the pipeline of new drugs. These arguments have been bolstered by studies of large pharmaceutical companies showing statistical associations between the projected market size or revenue for pharmaceutical products and research & development (R&D) activity. Our analysis recognizes the increasingly important role of small biopharmaceuticals in drug development , companies that typically have little revenue and negative earnings, but are now responsible for more than 40% of new drug approvals. We examine the relationship between changes …

Self-Immolative Polyplexes For Dna Delivery, Quinton E. A. Sirianni, Tianduo Wang, Aneta Borecki, Zhengyu Deng, Elizabeth R. Gillies, John A. Ronald

Chemistry Publications

Nucleic acids have immense potential for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of diseases, but delivery vehicles are needed to assist with their entry into cells. Polycations can reversibly complex with nucleic acids via ionic interactions to form polyplexes and transport them into cells, but they are still hindered by the need to balance cytotoxicity and delivery effectiveness. In this work, we describe a new self-immolative polyglyoxylamide (PGAm) platform designed to address these challenges by complexing nucleic acids viamultivalent interactions in the polymeric form and releasing them upon depolymerization. Nine PGAms were synthesized and characterized, with different …

A Quantum Mechanical Description Of The Diffusion Properties Of C1-C2 Hydrocarbon Molecules In Mof-74-Mg, Gemechis Degaga, Amanda Studinger, Loredana Valenzano-Slough

Michigan Tech Publications

Among the numerous metal organic framework (MOF) families, of significant importance is the MOF-74-M series (M = metal, -also known as CPO-27-M), characterized by a high density of not fully coordinated open metal site centers; this peculiarity has been demonstrated to translate into a higher hydrocarbons’ separation potential than other known MOFs and zeolites. To provide a more comprehensive description of the behavior of the hydrocarbon molecules within the MOF-74 cavity, diffusion processes and corresponding diffusion barriers of small hydrocarbons in the MOF-74-Mg were modeled. This work provides a description of the molecular transport processes of CH4, C2H2, C2H4 and …

An Econometric Analysis Of Collegiate Player Performance To Create A Model For Forecasting Contributions To Team Success, Evan Seely

Undergraduate Theses

At the conclusion of each basketball season, each conference selects 1^st, 2^nd, and sometimes 3^rd all-conference teams based on player performance for that season. Often, these all-conference teams reflect biases in the media rather than evaluations based on player performance alone. The baseball statistic Wins Above Replacement, WAR, is useful in quantifying the impact of each player through the number of wins contributed to his respective team by comparing each player to a designated replacement level player. This statistic can also be applied to basketball analysis to perform a similar function as in baseball, despite …

Cell‑Controlled Dynamic Surfaces For Skeletal Stem Cell Growth And Differentiation, Hilary J. Anderson, Jugal Kishore Sahoo, Julia Wells, Sebastiaan Van Nuffel, Hala S. Dhowre, Richard O. C. Oreffo, Mischa Zelzer, Rein V. Ulijn, Matthew J. Dalby

Advanced Science Research Center

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs, or mesenchymal stromal cells typically referred to as mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow) are a dynamic progenitor population that can enter quiescence, self-renew or differentiate depending on regenerative demand and cues from their niche environment. However, ex vivo, in culture, they are grown typically on hard polystyrene surfaces, and this leads to rapid loss of the SSC phenotype. While materials are being developed that can control SSC growth and differentiation, very few examples of dynamic interfaces that reflect the plastic nature of the stem cells have, to date, been developed. Achieving such interfaces is …

Effects Of Biochar Production Methods And Biomass Types On Lead Removal From Aqueous Solution, Paola Granados, Sergio Mireles, Engil Isadora Pujol Pereira, Chu-Lin Cheng, James Jihoon Kang

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Biochar has proven its potential in removing heavy metal ions from water. The objective of this study was to evaluate locally obtained biomass feedstocks for biochar production and their efficiency as a sorbent for aqueous lead (Pb²⁺) removal. The biomass feedstocks consisted of avocado seed, avocado peel, grapefruit peel, and brown seaweed, which represent agricultural and marine biomasses. The biochar materials were produced in two different methods: (1) a laboratory tube furnace at 300 °C and (2) a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) biochar maker, “BioCharlie Log”. The biochars were characterized for selected physicochemical properties, and batch adsorption tests with 10 …

Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Education Using A Virtual Environment In Sexual-Minority Men Of Color With Hiv: Protocol For A Sequential, Mixed Method, Waitlist Randomized Controlled Trial, Marya Gwadz, Harmony Reynolds, Allison Vorderstrasse

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: It is estimated that 70% of all deaths each year in the United States are due to chronic conditions. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), a chronic condition, is the leading cause of death in ethnic and racial minority males. It has been identified as the second most common cause of death in persons with HIV. By the year 2030, it is estimated that 78% of persons with HIV will be diagnosed with CVD.

Objective: We propose the first technology-based virtual environment intervention to address behavioral, modifiable risk factors associated with cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities in sexual-minority men of color with HIV. …

This study analyzed the fog generation characteristics for the period of 2016–2020 at the automatic weather system sites of the Korea Meteorological Administration in Sejong and Busan, and the characteristics …

Synthesis, Characterization, And Bioactivity Of 3-Substituted Coumarins As An Undergraduate Project, Karsen King, Nicholas Campbell, Ronald Okoth, Wathsala Medawala

Georgia Journal of Science

Coumarins are an important class of phytochemicals, a chemical defense presumed to be secreted by plants. More recently, Coumarins have gathered popularity for their basis in anti-cancer agents. This paper dives into the organic synthesis of two 3-substituted coumarins from o-vanillin using the Knoevenagel condensation reaction. The 3-substituted coumarin were characterized using melting point analysis, ¹H-NMR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. In addition, the anticancer activity of synthesized 3-substituted coumarin compounds were assayed against topoisomeraseIIα, which is the target enzyme of FDA approved anti-cancer drug etoposide since it is an active enzyme in cancer cell replication. The demonstrated procedures can be …
