Abstract:
Abstract A video image analysis system was designed to quantitatively measure the amount of specks and the color of peanut butter samples for grade purposes. The video image of a peanut butter surface 5.8 cm by 5.8 cm was captured and converted into 384 by 384 picture elements (pixels). The intensity of each of the 147,456 pixels was classified into one of 256 shades of gray from zero for black to 255 for white. The percent of total pixels that represented specks was defined as the speck index. The aveage shade of gray of all 147,456 pixels was defined as the color index. The speck and color indices were computed for 52 peanut butter samples that had been graded by experienced Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) inspectors. The speck and color indices were both in good agreement with the AMS speck and color classifications assigned to the samples by the AMS inspectors.

Abstract:
Activated danger or pathogen sensors trigger assembly of the inflammasome adaptor ASC into specks, large signaling platforms considered hallmarks of inflammasome activation. Because a lack of in vivo tools has prevented the study of endogenous ASC dynamics, we generated a live ASC reporter through CRISPR/Cas9 tagging of the endogenous gene in zebrafish. We see strong ASC expression in the skin and other epithelia that act as barriers to insult. A toxic stimulus triggered speck formation and rapid pyroptosis in keratinocytes in vivo. Macrophages engulfed and digested that speck-containing, pyroptotic debris. A three-dimensional, ultrastructural reconstruction, based on correlative light and electron microscopy of the in vivo assembled specks revealed a compact network of highly intercrossed filaments, whereas pyrin domain (PYD) or caspase activation and recruitment domain alone formed filamentous aggregates. The effector caspase is recruited through PYD, whose overexpression induced pyroptosis but only after substantial delay. Therefore, formation of a single, compact speck and rapid cell-death induction in vivo requires a full-length ASC.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: We reported that ineffective hematopoiesis in MDS results from caspase-1-dependent, pyroptotic cell death. Pyroptosis, which culminates in cytolysis, is initiated by the NOD-like receptor NLRP3, a redox-sensitive, cytosolic sensor of danger signals. Upon activation, NLRP3 recruits the ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (caspase activation and recruitment domain)) adapter protein that polymerizes to create large cytoplasmic filaments. Exposure of the ASCCARDdomain on the filament surface fosters docking of pro-caspase-1 that initiates processing of pro-IL1β and -IL18. Large cytoplasmic aggregates formed by filament clusters are known as ASC specks. Upon cytolysis, ASC specks are released into the extracellular space where they retain catalytic activity and propagate inflammation. Given the magnitude of pyroptosis in the bone marrow (BM) and maturing cells, we hypothesized that detection of ASC specks in peripheral blood (PB) plasma may serve as a biologically-rational MDS biomarker. Methods: We optimized a flow cytometry assay for detection of extracellular ASC specks averaging 1µm in size. Following protein quantitation, 300µg was aliquoted from each donor and stained with rabbit-anti-ASC 1o-Ab at a 1:1500 dilution for 60' at 37°C. 1:1500 dilution 2o-Ab was added and incubated for 30' at 37°C. Sample acquisitions were made on a BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer. PB plasma samples were obtained from normal donors (ND, n=40) and patients with MDS (n=220), de novo AML (n=16), 2o AML (n=26), CMML (n=20), CLL (n=50), CML (n=52), ALL (n=7), ET (n=20), PV (n=20), myeloma (n=20) and patients with Type-2 diabetes (T2D, n=25) on IRB-approved protocols, providing >90% power to detect significant differences between diseases. The diagnostic biomarker is defined as % of PB plasma ASC specks adjusted for glucose. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were used to evaluate classification accuracy of the biomarker at varied cutoff points. Results: The % PB-ASC specks was significantly increased in lower-risk (LR) MDS vs. ND (n=196, 27.7±1.5 vs. 7.2±0.7, respectively; p=2.8x10-32). No significant difference was observed between ND and higher-risk (HR) MDS (12.4±3.0), however, % of PB-ASC specks was significantly increased in LR (n=196) vs. HR (n=16) MDS (p= 2.0x10-5). Because hyperglycemia stimulates NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation, we measured plasma glucose by colorimetric assay to adjust for this potentially confounding variable. % PB-ASC specks were normalized to plasma glucose concentration and corrected for volume. Glucose-adjusted speck % in LR-MDS remained significantly higher vs. ND (1.2±0.2 and 0.02±3.0x10-3, respectively; p=3.7x10-6). Notably, the corrected % PB specks was not significantly greater in HR-MDS (0.6±0.5) vs. ND or between LR-MDS vs. HR-MDS, although the HR-MDS sample size is small. Importantly, LR-MDS samples (1.2±0.2) displayed significantly greater corrected % ASC specks compared to de novo AML (0.3±0.2, p=2.3x10-3), 2o-AML (0.16±0.05, p=5.5x10-5), CMML (0.03±0.01; p=4.4x10-6), CLL (0.03±4.4x10-3, p=4.4x10-6), CML (0.04±0.01; p=5.2x10-6), ALL (0.2±0.09, p=9.9x10-5), ET (0.17±0.07, p=8.7x10-5), PV (0.12±0.06, p=3.8x10-5), myeloma (0.14±0.04, p=3.8x10-5) and PB from non-cancer patients with T2D (p=4.8x10-6), suggesting specificity for MDS (see Figure). A cut off of 0.053 was selected to minimize total misclassification error (false positive + false negative). With this cutoff, the biomarker achieves 99% sensitivity and 81% specificity in classifying MDS from ND. The corresponding PPV and NPV are both 95%. In a preliminary cohort of lenalidomide-treated LR-MDS patients, PB-ASC specks decreased a mean of 48% (range, 3-69%) at week 16, suggesting that specks may serve as a biomarker index of ineffective hematopoiesis. Conclusion: ASC specks are readily quantified by flow cytometry and profoundly increased in PB plasma of MDS patients compared to ND and other hematologic malignancies. ASC specks are a sensitive and specific diagnostic biomarker for MDS that may also serve as an index of disease activity and emerging treatment response.

Abstract:
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and serositis; in some cases, ensuing amyloidosis results in kidney damage. Treatment with colchicine reduces the frequency and severity of FMF attacks and prevents amyloidosis, although the mechanisms behind these effects are unknown. Pyrin, the protein product of the MEFV gene, interacts with ASC, a key molecule in apoptotic and inflammatory processes. ASC forms intracellular speck-like aggregates that presage cell death. Here we show that cell death after ASC speck formation is much slower in nonmyeloid cells than in myeloid cells. Additionally, we demonstrate that colchicine prevents speck formation and show that specks can survive in the extracellular space after cell death. Because we also found that ASC is expressed in renal glomeruli of patients with FMF but not in those of control patients, we posit that high local ASC expression may result in speck formation and that specks from dying cells may persist in the extracellular space where they have the potential (perhaps in association with pyrin) to nucleate amyloid. The fact that speck formation requires an intact microtubule network as shown here could potentially account for the ability of prophylactic colchicine to prevent or reverse amyloidosis in patients with FMF.

Abstract:
The respiratory epithelium is exposed to the environment and initiates inflammatory responses to exclude pathogens. Influenza A virus (IAV) infection triggers inflammatory responses in the respiratory mucosa, but the mechanisms of inflammasome activation are poorly understood. We identified MxA as a functional inflammasome sensor in respiratory epithelial cells that recognizes IAV nucleoprotein and triggers the formation of ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) specks via interaction of its GTPase domain with the PYD domain of ASC. ASC specks were present in bronchiolar epithelial cells of IAV-infected MxA-transgenic mice, which correlated with early IL-1β production and early recruitment of granulocytes in the lungs of infected mice. Collectively, these results demonstrate that MxA contributes to IAV resistance by triggering a rapid inflammatory response in infected respiratory epithelial cells.

Abstract:
Abstract Production of lightweight coated paper (LWC) utilises more and more deinked pulp (DIP), for both economical and environmental reasons. A critical requirement on DIP quality for such grades is the cleanliness of the pulp. Indeed, the coating layer may not fully cover specks in the base paper. The objective of this work was to determine the required specifications of the coating layer to produce LWC with DIP base paper. The specks masking phenomena by the coating layer was studied from both optical measurements on coated handsheets made from DIP, and computer simulations of specks contrast reduction. The impact of coating layer parameters (coat weight and optical properties), base paper parameters (grammage and optical properties) and specks nature (grammage and optical properties) on specks masking is studied.

Abstract:
Many tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) are infected with spiroplasmas (Mollicutes: Spiroplasmataceae). Naturally-infected Tabanus gladiator Stone and T. sulcifrons Maquart flies were restrained and fed 10% sucrose to determine the exit points of Spiroplasma from tabanid flies. The flies were allowed to feed for 24 h, and the resulting oral and anal specks were cultured in MID broth. Spiroplasmas were isolated from 21 of 51 oral specks but not from 23 anal specks deposited on plastic. In contrast, when anal specks were deposited in a sucrose solution, 9 of 28 anal specks in sucrose yielded spiroplasma cultures. Tabanus limola F. and T. longiusculus Hine were offered a culture of Spiroplasma strain EC-1 on a stewed raisin or in 5% sucrose in the form of a hanging drop. After 4 d, the minced abdominal viscera of each fly were incubated in MID broth and 25 of 32 tabanids yielded cultures of Spiroplasma.

Abstract:
Combinations of gin and mill cleaning sequences have been studied to determine the best way to clean both smooth-leaf and hairy-leaf cottons. The two varieties were subjected to four different levels of lint cleaning at the gin, followed by nine different mill cleaning sequences, for a total of thirty-six samples. All samples were tested for fiber properties (Part II), yarn strength, and fabric strength and appearance. The yarn and fabric properties are reported in this paper. In the middle of the study, the card wire was damaged and subsequently replaced, which presented the opportunity to determine the impact of the card wire's condition on white specks. In addition, image analysis of the fabric samples by Optimas detected the percent white, the percentage of the area of white specks in a specified area of fabric. Because of the variability of white specks, a larger sample size was needed than was available for the mill samples, so only trends can be reported for the mill samples. In general, the more aggressive the cleaning, the higher the percent white. When comparing the effect of ginning, each additional lint cleaner produced an increase in percent white for the worn card wire. The new card wire decreased the percent white overall as compared to the worn card wire. The new card wire samples with three lint cleanings had a significantly higher white speck level than zero, one, or two lint cleaners. Similarly, the harsher the mill cleaning, the higher the percent white. The hairy-leaf variety produced percent white values similar to those for the smooth-leaf cotton for both the old and new card wires. Thus, when confronted with the possibility of a white speck problem, minimal gin cleaning and less aggressive mill cleaning are recommended.

Abstract:
[Abstract]: The textile industry has a recurrent white speck nep problem in cotton. “White specks” are immature clusters of fibres that are not visible as defects until dyeing, after which they remain white on the surface of a darkly dyed fabric, or appear as non uniform streaks in the fabric. Both results render the fabric unsuitable for commercial fashion fabrics. The white speck potential of cotton is difficult to predict except in extremely immature cottons. Competitive synthetic fibres are uniform in length and strength and never have a maturity problem resulting in dye defects. They are much more predictable in the mill. As a result, cotton faces the risk of being replaced by synthetic fibres. Industry requires a method to predict fabric quality from cotton bale fibre properties to minimize this risk. This research addresses the problem of predicting white specks in dyed cotton fabrics. It is part of a large study, which is supported jointly by US and Australian agencies. The main objective is to predict fabric quality from bale fibre properties given controlled gin and mill processing. Gin and mill processing must be controlled so that field and varietal effects can be seen without the interaction of mechanical processing differences. This results in achieving other objectives, including the provision of baseline data for Australian varieties, ginning effects and comparison of ring and open-end spinning. Initially a reliable method for measuring white specks had to be found. Several systems have been evaluated and are reported here. The systems accuracy was compared using fabrics from the US Extreme Variety Study (EVS), which was grown specifically to have different levels of white specks. The fabrics made from the US (Leading Variety Study 1993 (LVS) and The American Textile Manufacturers Institute (ATMI) Cotton Variety Processing Trials, 2001) and the Australian (1998 & 1999) variety studies were analysed using AutoRate-2-03, the best of the image analysis systems studied. The final release of AutoRate (February 2003) was developed by Dr. Bugao Xu to measure white specks on dark fabrics in conjunction with this research. This final analysis of these studies results in white speck prediction equations from high-speed fibre measurement systems. This information should be immediately useful to as a tool to measure the effects of field and ginning practices on the levels of white specks without having to carry the research out to finished fabrics. Cotton breeders will be able to use the equations in the development of new varieties with low white speck potential, by eliminating varieties with high white speck potential early on. The research will continue on a much larger scale in the US and hopefully a WSP (White Speck Potential) value will be incorporated into the US Cotton Grading System.

Abstract:
Flight speeds of seven bird species, the Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor), Mountain Bluebird (Sialia currucoides), White-throated Swift (Aeronautes saxatalis), European Starling (Siurnis vulgaris), Black Tern (Chlidonias nigra), Pigeon Guillemot (Ceppkus columba), and Red-necked Grebe (Podiceps grisegna), were recorded using a Doppler radar handgun. Velocities were measured of adult birds flying to and from foraging areas while rearing young, and totalled 1178 records. Morphological measurements were also made on some of the species and were used, along with literature values, to construct curves of estimated total power required for flight versus flight velocity for each species. The mean observed flight speed, V[sub obs], for each species was then compared to the minimum power speed, V[sub mp], and the maximum range speed, V[sub mr], on the power curve. For five of the seven study species, the V0be was significantly greater than V[sub mr], and thus appeared to be independent of morphology, foraging methods and habitats. The V0bs of the other two species was found to be between V[sub mp] and V[sub mr]for the Pigeon Guillemot and less than V[sub mp] for the Red-necked Grebe. In a more detailed study of the Tree Swallow and the Mountain Bluebird, V[sub obs] was determined to be fairly constant over the recording period. Individual power curves were constructed for five female Mountain Bluebirds and three female Tree Swallows, since both morphological measurements and flight speeds were recorded for these individuals. In each case, V[sub obs]was significantly greater than V[sub mr]. For the bluebird, it was also found that the number of visits to the nest per hour per nestling did not appear to increase with the age of the nestling. The rate of feedings, however, was quite variable for both the Tree Swallow and Mountain Bluebird. By setting the observed flight speed, V0be, equal to. a predicted optimal speed, V[sub obt], the net rate of energy gain during foraging by the parents could be determined. Comparing this energy gain with estimates of nestling energy requirements for both species resulted in the conclusion that the observed speed could not be the same as the optimal speed, and that in order to meet nestling requirements, the parents may increase their feeding rate during other parts of the day not under observation.

Newberry, Shawn. "Laser Speckle Patterns with Digital Image Correlation." OpenSIUC, 2021. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/theses/2885.

Abstract:
Digital Laser Speckle Image Correlation (DiLSIC) is a technique that utilizes a laser generated speckle pattern with Digital Image Correlation (DIC). This technology eliminates the need to apply an artifact speckle pattern to the surface of the material of interest, and produces a finer speckle pattern resulting in a more sensitive analysis. This investigation explores the parameters effecting laser speckle patterns for DIC and studies DiLSIC as a tool to measure surface strain and detect subsurface defects on pressure vessels. In this study a 632.8 nm 30 mW neon-helium laser generated the speckle pattern by passing through the objective end of an objective lens. All experiments took place in a lab setting on a high performance laminar flow stabilizer optical table.This investigation began with a deeper look at the camera settings that effect the effectiveness of using laser speckles with DIC. The first studies were concentrated on the aperture size (f-stop), shutter speed, and gain (ISO) of the camera. Through a series of zero-correlation studies, translation tests, and settings studies, it was discovered that, much like white light DIC, an increased gain allowed for more noise and less reliable measurements when using DiLSIC. It was shown that the aperture size and shutter speed will largely depend on the surface composition of the material, and that these factors should be investigated with each new sample of different surface finish.To determine the feasibility of using DiLSIC on pressure vessels two samples were acquired. The first was a standard ASTM filament wound composite pressure vessel (CPV) which had an upper load limit of 40 psi. The second was a plastic vessel that had internal subsurface defects added with the use of an air pencil grinder. Both vessels were put under a pressure load with the use of a modified air compressor that allowed for multiple loading cycles through the use of a pressure relief valve. The CPV was mapped out in 10-degree increments between the 90° and 180° markings that were on the pressure vessel, occurring in three areas, each one inch apart. The CPV had a pressure load applied to at 10, 20, 30,and 40 psi. DiLSIC was able to measure increasing displacement with increased loading on the surface of the CPV, however with a load limit of 40 psi no strains were detected. The plastic vessel had known subsurface defects, and these areas were the focus of the investigation. The plastic vessel was loaded with a pressure load at 5, 10, 12, 15, 17, and 20 psi. The 5 psi loaded image was used as a reference image for the correlation and decorrelation consistently occurred at 20 psi. This investigation proved that DiLSIC can detect and locate subsurface defects through strain measurement. The results were verified with traditional white light DIC, which also showed that the subsurface defects on pressure vessels were detectable. The DIC and DiLSIC results did not agree on maximum strain measurement, with the DiLSIC prediciting much larger strains than traditional DIC. This is due to the larger effect out-of-plane displacement has on DiLSIC. DiLSIC was able to detect subsurface defects on a pressure vessel. The median measured hoop strain was in agreement for DiLSIC, DIC and the predicted hoop strain for a wall thickness of 0.1 inches. However, DiLSIC also produced unreliable maximum strain measurements. This technique shows potential for future applications, but more investigations will be needed to implement it for industrial use. A full investigation into the parameters surrounding this technique, and the factors that contribute the most to added noise and unreliability should be conducted. This technology is being developed by multiple entities and shows promising results, and once further advanced could be a useful tool for rapid surface strain measurement and subsurface defect detection in nondestructive evaluation applications. Therefore, it is recommended to continue further investigations into this technology and its applications.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o uso de canções e efeitos sonoros em quatro produções teatrais de Romeu e Julieta, de William Shakespeare, enfocando os cruzamentos interculturais entre o texto e os vários contextos de performance. Este estudo propõe a análise do desenho sonoro como prática teatral, tomando como referência central teorias dos estudos musicais (Luiz Tatit e Marcos Napolitano), dos estudos de desenho sonoro (Deena Kaye, James Lebrecht e Livio Tragtenberg), da análise da performance (W. B. Worthen, Patrice Pavis, Susan Bennett, e outros), e de análises textuais, e levando em conta os estágios que envolvem uma produção teatral: concepção, produção, e recepção. O corpus da pesquisa é constituído pelas seguintes produções teatrais: Romeo and Juliet, da Royal Shakespeare Company, dirigida por Michael Bogdanov (1986); Romeo and Juliet, da Royal Shakespeare Company, dirigida por Michael Boyd (2000); Romeu e Julieta, do Grupo Macunaíma, dirigida por Antunes Filho (1984); e Romeu e Julieta, do Grupo Galpão, dirigida por Gabriel Villela (1992). O estudo demonstra que a análise da performance pode ser aprimorada ao enfocar a complexidade discursiva dos eventos sonoros, através da investigação dos momentos em que som e canção ocupam papéis importantes na cena teatral.
