Abstract

The UCI Rocket Project is an undergraduate engineering design team at the University of California, Irvine, dedicated to the design and development of liquid bi-propellant rockets. The team’s main goal is to design a liquid rocket capable of reaching 100 km for the Base11 Space Challenge. The current iteration of the rocket is designed to reach 45,000 ft as a preliminary verification of the team’s design and manufacturing capabilities. The design utilizes a pressure fed system with a propellant combination of liquid methane and liquid oxygen. As the team moves further into the testing and verification stages, development of the rocket capable of reaching 100 km begins. There are a total of four launch windows for the Base11 competition that begin in May 2020 and end in December 2021. The team has a dedicated lab space with the resources necessary for general design and assembly, but manufacturing is typically contracted to professional companies. As the space industry continues to grow, the UCI Rocket Project will continue giving undergraduate students relevant and impactful hands-on experience to prepare them for the challenges of working in the industry.Advisors: Professor Mark WalterProfessor Ken Mease

10. Performing as mapping : an examination of the role of site-specific performance practice as a methodology to map and/or re-imagine sites of urban regeneration

Abstract

This thesis is a practice-led enquiry that examines the role of site-specific performance as a methodology or set of tools to ‘map’ sites of urban regeneration, and thus seeks to build further links between performance and the spatial practices of architecture and urbanism. Performativity has emerged as an important critical concept across a range of social and spatial fields - as a way understanding of how personal and place identities are continuously (re)created through everyday performance. Meanwhile, practitioners and researchers have become increasingly interested in creating, documenting, and theorising models of theatre and performance that engage with sites and communities outside of the gallery or auditorium. The thesis traces the emergence of ‘site-specific’ performances as ‘more-than-representational’ cartographies - from the early experiments of the Situationist International and the ‘Happenings’, through everyday practices of walking and navigating cities, to emerging technological and ‘locative’ performance models. The definition of what constitutes (a) ‘site’ is tested by locating these practices within the broader participatory and relational ‘turns’ in contemporary art. While this ‘expansion’ has opened up opportunities for site-specific performance-makers to operate within spheres such as community engagement, wider concerns are raised by the rhetoric of ‘community empowerment’ and the instrumentalisation of creative practice by political and commissioning institutions. Keeping these issues in mind, this research builds upon Jane Rendell's call for the field of architecture and urbanism to embrace methods from public art and performance in order to operate as ‘critical spatial practices’. The thesis constructs an argument for the role of site-specific performance in articulating contested histories, claims, and potentials of the site. This proposition is explored through three case studies, including empirical and practice-based research with performance makers in complex and contested sites in northern England. This is supported by a survey of contemporary performance practices that directly address themes and sites of urban regeneration. Using the twin lenses of mapping and participation, the thesis demonstrates how performance(s) can articulate the multiplicity of stories, experiences, and potentials in marginalised or ‘interstitial’ urban sites. By introducing other agencies and temporalities to the site (‘gathering and showing’), site-specific practices have been shown to challenge dominant narratives and unsettle the stable or singular representations of places perpetuated by professional frameworks of urban development and regeneration.

21. Muscular Christianity

Author

Park, Adam

Abstract

A culturally and religiously diffuse movement characterized by its central concerns and practices around health, fitness, and sports. These concerns have historically taken hold when linked to the project of reinstilling lost manhood, of fixing "overcivilized" and effeminate men through right orientation to divine, gendered purpose. Aligned toward personal "instinct" and God-given knowledge of best health and fitness practices, the movement is predominantly protestant-inspired. As a means of social reform - of sanitizing sport culture from various evil influences, of offering healthy alternatives to unhealthy societal norms around diet, dress, medicine, or daily comportment - Muscular Christianity has resonated in Catholic, Jewish, and more broadly "secular" circles as well.

Abstract

Introduction: High levels of immunosuppressive adenosine are found in the tumor microenvironment, reaching 50-100 μM in experimental models. Adenosine exerts its effects on immune cells primarily through the adenosine receptors A2aR/A2bR, which increase intracellular levels of cyclic AMP, leading to CREB phosphorylation (pCREB). We have previously shown that the dual A2aR/A2bR antagonist AB928 is capable of inhibiting adenosine-induced pCREB in healthy human volunteer (HV) blood lymphocytes. AB928 has also been shown to relieve adenosine-mediated T-cell suppression in vitro and exhibit combinatorial effects with standard-of-care chemotherapeutics in mouse syngeneic tumor models. Herein, we show that AB928 is capable of inhibiting NECA-induced gene expression changes and CREB phosphorylation in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patient whole blood (WB). Additionally, observations from our in vitro human studies showing the combinatorial effect of AB928 and α-PD-1 were reproduced in B16F10 syngeneic tumors. Methods: Human WB was stimulated with 5 μM of NECA and flow cytometry was used to quantify AB928-mediated inhibition of pCREB and CD3ζ phosphorylation. B16F10 tumors were treated with α-PD-1 +/- AB928 and gene expression was determined from excised mouse tumors using the nCounter PanCancer panel. Results: To ensure AB928 can successfully inhibit the high levels of intratumoral adenosine, we found that 5 μM NECA provides maximal stimulation and is significantly more potent (>20 fold) than adenosine in the pCREB assay. Additional experiments demonstrated that AB928 has comparable potency in NECA-stimulated WB from both HV and NSCLC patients. In addition to blocking downstream signaling, NanoString analysis showed that AB928 could prevent NECA-stimulated gene expression changes in NSCLC WB. We also found that NECA stimulation, alone or in combination with PD-1 inhibition, significantly reduced proximal TCR signaling, leading to reduced levels of CD3ζ phosphorylation at TYR142 (pTYR142). These reduced pTYR142 levels, with and without α-PD-1, could be significantly rescued by AB928, suggesting that blocking adenosine immunosuppression may provide additional benefit to PD-1 inhibition in tumors. Consistent with these results, AB928 was capable of suppressing growth (volume in mm3) of B16-F10 tumors both as a single agent (vehicle: 462 +/- 58; AB928: 292 +/- 55; p Conclusions: Collectively, these results support a role for AB928 in relieving adenosine-mediated immunosuppression by blocking A2aR/A2bR-induced signaling events, gene expression changes, and suppressing tumor growth in vivo.

Abstract

A range of policy, research and media commentary has highlighted the link between housing, health, and wellbeing in later life, with discourses around “ageing in place” and “downsizing” emerging as particularly dominant. Proponents of “downsizing” strategies argue that the motivation for older people should be self-evident: difficulties with maintenance, heating bills, getting upstairs, and the increasing risk of falls are all commonly referred to. This outlook also highlights the economic benefits of downsizing to “age-appropriate” housing, particularly in relation to potential savings for health and social care budgets. Drawing upon participatory research with older people in the city of Sheffield, UK, this paper critiques current practices and discourses around the commissioning, design, and management of purpose-built retirement housing. The paper calls for an urgent need to reframe housing from a lifecourse perspective and to recognize older people as active citizens, for whom their homes are essential to their continuing to contribute to family life and society. We argue for a more nuanced debate around “downsizing” and “ageing in place”, and call for policy-makers to recognize the risk of spatially and socially marginalizing older people through current limitations in housing choices. The paper concludes by setting out a number of measures to improve the choice, quality, and flexibility of housing for later life.

Abstract

The MFA in Writing program’s Digital Storytelling course, taught in spring 2016 by Faith Adiele, brought together graduate writers, artists and makers to hone their narrative skills and develop their own digital projects. The Bay Area is the center of electronic and digital literature (literary work created exclusively on and for devices with screens) and storytelling, but while the dazzling technologies may be new, interactive storytelling is one of the earliest forms of human interaction. We explored e-lit's antecedents and traditions, ranging from non-Western traditions like the griot, talk-story, and testimonio, to the democratized oral history movement of the 1970s; from the physicality of Book Arts to platforms and networks that offer open-source, global activist alternatives to pricey technology. The course was open to all grad students and had participants from Architecture and Design MBA. They received training from Yosmay del Mazo of StoryCorps, Thaddeus Howze of Quora, Chieh-Ju Pai in the Film Dept, with additional support and training by digital scholarship librarian Lisa Conrad. This was an attempt for writers/artists/makers to speak a shared language across the college, and heralds the beginning of further college-wide collaborations.

Abstract

Introduction: To compare the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of lactate expressors and nonexpressors in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock who presented over a 40-month period to an academic tertiary care center. Primary outcome of interest was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay (LOS), Intensive Care Unit (ICU) LOS, and escalation of care. Results: Three hundred and thirty-eight patients met inclusion criteria and were divided into a lactate expressor group (n = 197; initial lactate ≥2.5 mmol/L) and a nonexpressor group (n = 141; lactate <2.5 mmol/L). The mortality rate was 46.2% for lactate expressors and 24.8% for nonexpressors. There were no significant differences in hospital or ICU LOS. The escalation-of-care rate in the severe sepsis nonexpressor group was more than double that found in the expressor group: 16.5% versus 6.2% (P = 0.040). The two groups had baseline differences: expressor group had a higher median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) illness severity score, and nonexpressors had an increased prevalence of comorbid conditions. APACHE II score (odds ratio [OR] 1.10 (1.07–1.14), P < 0.001) and being in the expressor group (OR 1.72 [1.03–2.89], P = 0.039) increased the odds of mortality. Conclusions: In patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, lactate nonexpressors are common. Although the mortality in this cohort is less than its counterparts who present with lactate elevation, it is still significant which warrants vigilance in their care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

BACKGROUND: In the setting of severe sepsis and septic shock, mortality increases when lactate levels are ⩾4 mmol/L. However, the consequences of lower lactate levels in this population are not well understood. The study aimed to determine the in-hospital mortality associated with severe sepsis and septic shock when initial lactate levels are < 4 mmol/L. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of septic patients admitted over a 40-month period. Totally 338 patients were divided into three groups based on initial lactate values. Group 1 had lactate levels < 2 mmol/L; group 2: 2-4 mmol/L; and group 3: ⩾ 4 mmol/L. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS: There were 111 patients in group 1, 96 patients in group 2, and 131 in group 3. The mortality rates were 21.6%, 35.4%, and 51.9% respectively. Univariate analysis revealed the mortality differences to be statistically signifi cant. Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated higher odds of death with higher lactate tier group, however the fi ndings did not reach statistical signifi cance. CONCLUSION: This study found that only assignment to group 3, initial lactic acid level of ⩾ 4 mmol/L, was independently associated with increased mortality after correcting for underlying severity of illness and organ dysfunction. However, rising lactate levels in the other two groups were associated with increased severity of illness and were inversely proportional to prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Research devoted to the predictive validity of criteria commonly used to screen police applicants has received little attention. The need has increased for police agencies to evaluate their various screening methodologies in the multiple-hurdles approach to police candidate selection. Grounded in Schmidt and Hunter's theory of general mental ability in job performance, this study examined the predictive validity of candidates' demographic profiles and results of the pre-academy screening polygraph to predict training outcomes and attrition. This quantitative study used logistical and linear regression analysis to determine whether these variables were viable screening mechanisms to predict attrition and training performance among police cadets at the Texas Department of Public Safety. Each independent variable (age, prior military service, level of education, and polygraph result) predicted cadet academy completion status (unsuccessful; successful). However, there was no evidence to suggest that age, prior military service, or level of education predicted training performance as measured by final academy grade point average or score on the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) exam. This study's findings relative to each independent variable support contemporary police research by identifying potentially valued characteristics of a successful police candidate. Additionally, these findings could allow police administrators to better implement training strategies that compliment agency goals; thus better preparing candidates to protect society. By understanding the validity of these screening procedures in candidate selection, police agencies could save time and money. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
