Texte intégralRésumé :
Formal course instruction in mineralogy and geology began in Harvard College in 1788 with Benjamin Waterhouse. He also assembled in the 1780's a reference and teaching collection of minerals, rocks, and ores—the first natural history collection at Harvard—that, following a gift by an English friend, J. C. Lettsom, became a cynosure of the College. Following Waterhouse's dismissal in 1812, the instruction was carried on by John Gorham until 1824. Waterhouse, his colleague Aaron Dexter, and Gorham all were professors in the Harvard Medical School, established 1782. The latter two men successively held an endowed chair therein, the Erving Professorship of Chemistry and Materia Medica. They produced some notable graduates: Parker Cleaveland in 1799, Lyman Spalding in 1797, Joseph Green Cogswell in 1806, John White Webster in 1811, John Fothergill Waterhouse in 1813, and Samuel Luther Dana and James Freeman Dana in 1813. Following years of futile effort by the Administration to establish a professorship of mineralogy and geology, with Cogswell as the selected candidate, the instruction in mineralogy and geology fell to John White Webster in 1824 in the Chemistry Department. The Erving Professorship also passed to him, with a change in title to Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy. Webster's death in 1850, following his conviction for murder in a famous trial, terminated the first period of development of the geological sciences at Harvard. In this period, in spite of the early start by Waterhouse, Harvard lagged much behind the developments at Yale and other colleges in New England and beyond. The main period of development of the geological sciences at Harvard come in the latter 1800's. It was a consequence primarily of the founding of the the Lawrence Scientific School in 1848, with its emphasis on the applied aspects of the sciences, the appointments of Josiah Dwight Whitney and Raphael Pumpelly in 1865 and 1866, respectively to a School of Mines and Practical Geology endowed as a sub-unit therein, and the appointment of Josiah Parsons Cooke in 1850 as successor to Webster in the Chemistry Department.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Like many research institutions, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysicsf (CfA), has been actively engaged in education and public outreach activities for many years. The Harvard University Department of Astronomy, the formal higher education arm of the CfA, offers an undergraduate concentration and a doctoral program. In our Science Education Department, educational researchers manage ten programs that address the needs of teachers and students (K-12 and college), through advanced technology, teacher enhancement programs, and the development of curriculum materials. The Editorial and Public Affairs Department offers several public lecture series, recorded sky information, children's nights, and runs the Whipple Observatory Visitors Center in Amado, AZ. In this environment of successful programs, the High Energy Astrophysics (HEA) division, one of seven research divisions at the CfA, has initiated, or partnered with other institutions, development of several new education and outreach programs. Some of these programs involve partnerships with the education community, but all of them have been initiated by and involve scientists.

Instead of focusing on the cell, or the genotype, or on any single measurement modality, using integrative biology allows us to think holistically and horizontally. A disease like diabetes can lead to myocardial infarction, nephropathy, and neuropathy; to study diabetes in genomic medicine would require reasoning from a disease to all its various complications to the genome and back. I am studying the process of intersecting nearly-comprehensive data sets in molecular biology, across three representative modalities (microarrays, RNAi and quantitative trait loci) out of the more than 30 available today. This is difficult because the semantics and context of each experiment performed becomes more important, necessitating a detailed knowledge about the biological domain. I addressed this problem by using all public microarray data from NIH, unifying 50 million expression measurements with standard gene identifiers and representing the experimental context of each using the Unified Medical Language System, a vocabulary of over 1 million concepts. I created an automated system to join data sets related by experimental context.
(cont.) I evaluated this system by finding genes significantly involved in multiple experiments directly and indirectly related to diabetes and adipogenesis and found genes known to be involved in these diseases and processes. As a model first step into integrative biology, I then took known quantitative trait loci in the rat involved in glucose metabolism and build an expert system to explain possible biological mechanisms for these genetic data using the modeled genomic data. The system I have created can link diseases from the ICD-9 billing code level down to the genetic, genomic, and molecular level. In a sense, this is the first automated system built to study the new field of genomic medicine.

Bacterial infections represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Biofilms and antibiotic resistance pose challenges to our future ability to treat bacterial diseases with antibiotics (1). Bacteria frequently live in biofilms, which are surface-associated communities encased in a hydrated extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) matrix (2, 3). Biofilms are crucial in the pathogenesis of many clinically-important infections and are difficult to eradicate because they exhibit resistance to antimicrobial agents and removal by host immune systems (4). Antibiotics can even induce biofilm formation (5, 6). The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is also a growing medical problem. Antibiotic resistance genes can be acquired by horizontal gene transfer and passed vertically to later generations (7). Antibiotic resistance can also result from persistence, a phenomena in which a subpopulation of cells can withstand antibiotic treatment without containing antibiotic-resistance genes (8). These problems, coupled with decreasing output of new antibiotics, have highlighted the need for new treatments for bacterial infections (1, 9-12). I developed three novel strategies for attacking bacterial biofilms and antibiotic resistance using synthetic biology. To remove biofilms, I engineered bacteriophage to express a biofilm degrading enzyme during infection to simultaneously attack biofilm cells and the biofilm EPS matrix. These enzymatically-active bacteriophage substantially reduced biofilm cell counts by 4.5 orders of magnitude (-99.997% removal), which was about two orders of magnitude better than that of non-enzymatic phage. To address antibiotic-resistant bacteria, I targeted gene networks with synthetic bacteriophage to create antibiotic adjuvants.
(cont.) Suppressing the SOS network with engineered bacteriophage enhanced killing by ofloxacin, a quinolone drug, by over 2.7 and 4.5 orders of magnitude compared with control bacteriophage plus ofloxacin and ofloxacin alone, respectively. I also built phage that targeted multiple gene networks and demonstrated their effectiveness as antibiotic adjuvants. Engineered bacteriophage reduced the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and performed as strong adjuvants for other bactericidal antibiotics such as aminoglycosides and P-lactams. Finally, I designed synthetic in vivo sensors for antibiotic-resistance genes that can be coupled with effector components to kill cells carrying resistance genes or to block horizontal transmission of those genes. My work demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of using engineered bacteriophage and synthetic biology constructs to address the dual threats of bacterial biofilms and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Recent advances in systems biology and bioinformatics have highlighted that no cell population is truly uniform and that stochastic behavior is an inherent property of many biological systems. As a result, bulk measurements can be misleading even when particular care has been taken to isolate a single cell type, and measurements averaged over multiple cell populations in a tissue can be as misleading as the average height at an elementary school. Unfortunately, there are relatively few experimental systems available at present that can provide a combination of single cell resolution, large cell populations, and the ability to track individual cells over multiple time points. Those systems that do exist are often difficult to automate and require extensive user intervention simply to generate the raw data sets for later analysis. The goal of this thesis project was to develop a powerful, inexpensive, and easy-to-use system that meets the above requirements and can serve as a platform for single cell bioinformatics. Our current system design is composed of two basic parts: 1) a customizable PDMS device consisting of one or more microwell arrays, each with associated alignment and identification features, and 2) a suite of custom software tools for automated image processing and data analysis. The system has a number of significant advantages over competing technologies such as flow cytometry and standard image cytometry. Unlike flow cytometry, the cells are not in suspension, and individual cells can be tracked across multiple time points or examined before and after a treatment.
(cont.) Unlike most image cytometry approaches, the cells are arranged in a spatially defined pattern and physically separated from one another, greatly simplifying the required image analysis. The automated analysis tools require only a minimal amount of user intervention and can easily generate multi-channel fluorescence time courses for tens of thousands of individual cells in a single experiment. For visualization purposes, tools are provided to annotate the original fluorescence images or movies with the results of later analysis, and several quality control routines are available to identify improperly seeded wells or debris. The microwell array cytometry platform has allowed us to investigate a number of biological problems that would be difficult or impossible to tackle with standard techniques. Our earliest work focused on correlating pre-stress cell states with post-stress outcomes, with a major focus on the cryopreservation of primary hepatocytes. In particular, we wanted to know whether cell survival was dominated by extrinsic factors such as ice crystal nucleation, or intrinsic factors such as the energetic state of the cell. In one set of studies, we found that cells with a high initial mitochondrial content or mitochondrial membrane potential, as measured by Rh123 or JC-1 staining, were significantly less likely to survive the freezing process. This demonstrated that intrinsic cell factors do play a major role in cryopreservation survival, but perhaps more importantly demonstrated the power and versatility of the microwell system by tracking individual cells across a treatment as extreme as freezing the entire device. In another set of cryopreservation experiments, cells were transiently transfected with a GFP-tagged protective protein and the resulting cell population, with its range of expression levels, was used to generate dose response curves with single cell resolution for the protein's protective effect.
(cont.) More recently, our efforts have focused on generating single cell fluorescence time courses and using bioinformatics techniques such as hierarchical and k-means clustering to visualize the data and extract interesting features. More specifically, the behavior of primary hepatocytes under oxidative stress and protective metabolic manipulation was examined using a combination of mitochondrial and free radical sensitive dyes. The resulting time courses could not only be compared between the treatment groups, but a number of distinct response patterns could be identified within each treatment group. This variation in response patterns represent potentially important information that would be missed using bulk techniques or flow cytometry. In addition, membership in each response cluster was correlated between multiple dyes and with the initial state of each cell. Using a live / dead methodology, dose response curves, survival curves, and survival time distributions were also generated for each treatment condition and further subdivided based on the initial cell state and cluster assignments. We believe that our microwell array cytometry platform will have general utility for a wide range of questions related to cell population heterogeneity, biological stochasticity, and cell behavior under stress conditions. We have really just begun exploring rich data sets of this type, and with additional work there is a great potential for groundbreaking results in many areas of biology and bioinformatics. Though we have applied techniques from gene expression analysis, there are a number of significant differences between the type of data generated by gene chips and that generated in high-throughput single cell experiments. These differences also make single cell biology a fruitful area for the development of novel bioinformatics techniques and theories.

Cells are continuously sensing and processing information from their environments and responding to it in sensible ways. The communication networks on which such information is handled often consist of systems of chemical reactions, such as signaling pathways or metabolic networks. This thesis studies the dynamics of systems of chemical reactions in the context of biological cells. The first part of this thesis analyzes the osmo-regulation network in yeast, responsible for the regulation of internal osmolarity. We measure the system's step response in single cells, and find that the steady state is independent of the input, a property termed perfect adaptation that relies on integral feedback control. We then consider the signaling cycle, a pattern of chemical reactions that is often present in signaling pathways, in which a protein can be either active (e.g., phosphorylated) or inactive (e.g., unphosphorylated). We identify new regimes of static and dynamic operation, and find that these cycles can be tuned to transmit or digitize time-varying signals, while filtering input noise. The second part of this thesis considers systems of chemical reactions where stochastic effects are relevant, and simplifies the standard models. We develop an approximate model for the time-evolution of the average concentrations and their variances and covariances in systems with and without spatial gradients. We also describe a framework to identify and derive approximate models for variables that evolve at different time scales in systems without spatial gradients. These tools can help study the impact of stochastic and spatial effects on system behavior.

Thesis (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Centre of Excellence for Invasion Biology (C+B) is a research centre that provides bursaries for post-graduate students to study in the field of "Invasion Biology". One of the goals of the centre is to ensure that 50% of the funded students are from previously disadvantaged groups. However, since its inception in 2004 it has consistently been unable to meet this goal. The researcher, who has insight in the centre's marketing activities and has knowledge of marketing, is of the opinion that the reason for this failure is due to the lack of knowledge of the target market and the lack of a targeted marketing strategy. As background this report investigates the theory related to marketing and whether this is applicable to a centre such as the C-I-B. The conclusion that the marketing theory is relevant to the C-I-B, lead to a market research project that informed the development of a marketing strategy suggestion which the researcher believes will address the stated problem. The report concludes with recommendations to other stakeholders who should address the deeper lying problems which surface at secondary school level.

Lucas, D. Pulane. « Disruptive Transformations in Health Care : Technological Innovation and the Acute Care General Hospital ». VCU Scholars Compass, 2013. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/2996.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Advances in medical technology have altered the need for certain types of surgery to be performed in traditional inpatient hospital settings. Less invasive surgical procedures allow a growing number of medical treatments to take place on an outpatient basis. Hospitals face growing competition from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The competitive threats posed by ASCs are important, given that inpatient surgery has been the cornerstone of hospital services for over a century. Additional research is needed to understand how surgical volume shifts between and within acute care general hospitals (ACGHs) and ASCs. This study investigates how medical technology within the hospital industry is changing medical services delivery. The main purposes of this study are to (1) test Clayton M. Christensen’s theory of disruptive innovation in health care, and (2) examine the effects of disruptive innovation on appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and bariatric surgery (ACBS) utilization. Disruptive innovation theory contends that advanced technology combined with innovative business models—located outside of traditional product markets or delivery systems—will produce simplified, quality products and services at lower costs with broader accessibility. Consequently, new markets will emerge, and conventional industry leaders will experience a loss of market share to “non-traditional” new entrants into the marketplace. The underlying assumption of this work is that ASCs (innovative business models) have adopted laparoscopy (innovative technology) and their unification has initiated disruptive innovation within the hospital industry. The disruptive effects have spawned shifts in surgical volumes from open to laparoscopic procedures, from inpatient to ambulatory settings, and from hospitals to ASCs. The research hypothesizes that: (1) there will be larger increases in the percentage of laparoscopic ACBS performed than open ACBS procedures; (2) ambulatory ACBS will experience larger percent increases than inpatient ACBS procedures; and (3) ASCs will experience larger percent increases than ACGHs. The study tracks the utilization of open, laparoscopic, inpatient and ambulatory ACBS. The research questions that guide the inquiry are: 1. How has ACBS utilization changed over this time? 2. Do ACGHs and ASCs differ in the utilization of ACBS? 3. How do states differ in the utilization of ACBS? 4. Do study findings support disruptive innovation theory in the hospital industry? The quantitative study employs a panel design using hospital discharge data from 2004 and 2009. The unit of analysis is the facility. The sampling frame is comprised of ACGHs and ASCs in Florida and Wisconsin. The study employs exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. This work finds that disruptive innovation theory is an effective model for assessing the hospital industry. The model provides a useful framework for analyzing the interplay between ACGHs and ASCs. While study findings did not support the stated hypotheses, the impact of government interventions into the competitive marketplace supports the claims of disruptive innovation theory. Regulations that intervened in the hospital industry facilitated interactions between ASCs and ACGHs, reducing the number of ASCs performing ACBS and altering the trajectory of ACBS volume by shifting surgeries from ASCs to ACGHs.

This research is to evaluate the effect of the repellents for Forcipomyia taiwana. Four sample areas in Shanshang District of Tainan City were chosen to estimate the relation between the meteorological factors and the population density of Forcipomyia taiwana with its damage degree, and stable groups among the four sample areas were selected for repellent test. It is found out that two sample areas around the Tainan Watercourse waterworks and the Shanshang Junior high school reach high damage level in the long run, and the changes of the amount of Forcipomyia taiwana are statistically significant related to the rainfall and monthly average temperature of the last and the current month. (p<0.05) Three kinds of hand sanitizers with natural essential oil of lemongrass, citronella and niaouli are used for the repellent test of female Forcipomyia taiwana. The outcome indicates that the hand sanitizer made of lemongrass essential oil has obvious effect (at least 20 min), and it can be effective at the concentration of 1%. The study result shows that the hand sanitizer with lemongrass essential oil is a workable repellent for the female Forcipomyia taiwana for that it can be effective with only 1% concentration and reduce the cost as well.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Developing the concern with the place of education in Seamus Heaney’s work, Chapter 4 follows him to America in the 1980s and considers at length the impact on his poetry of the fourteen years he spent in the English Department at Harvard. This is a period in which Heaney’s aesthetic range is broadening, opening to international influences, and absorbing and expressing political realities in new ways. However, it is also a time of self-assertion and resistance, as he recognized in retrospect. Teaching in the US during the canon wars and exposed to the provocative discourses of literary theory, he retreats into his own certainties and convictions about language and tradition.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract The “official Story” is that Harvard established the Russian Research Center with the help of a preliminary grant of $100,000 from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to provide information to the State Department and other government agencies about contemporary Russia. An article in the Boston Traveler of December 5, 1947, the basis for an FBI memo of December 12, reported that the results of the Harvard research would be “made available to the State Department and other federal agencies, including the central intelligence group, through in formed channels long before publication by the university,” though the university declined to do any classified (secret) research. The State Department, though convinced of the importance of covert activities, was reluctant to engage in them itself. So were many professors, who were also eager to establish a permanent university-government relationship.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Conant liked to recall that he became president of Harvard in the same year that Franklin D. Roosevelt became president of the United States and Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. The University would feel the impact of what those others wrought. More than ever before in its long history, Harvard during the 1930s and 1940s found itself enmeshed in the affairs of the world outside. Harvard had a presence in the early New Deal: but aside from alumnus FDR and Felix Frankfurter, not a very conspicuous one. The Alumni Bulletin took note of the absence of Harvard faculty in FDR’s early Brains Trust, and in 1936 Conant estimated that only five or six out of a staff of eighteen hundred had been granted leaves of absence since 1930 to work for the federal government. A member of the Economics department, asked about Harvard’s lack of visibility in Washington, replied: “We are standing by for the next New Deal!” Nor was the New Deal popular with a preponderantly Republican faculty and student body. In a Crimson poll in the fall of 1934, undergraduates opposed Roosevelt’s policies by 1,149–704, the faculty by 141–50. Though Conant voted for FDR, he was careful to preserve the outward forms of political neutrality. But conservative alums soon had a Harvard New Dealer they loved to hate: Law Professor Felix Frankfurter, ace recruiter for the New Deal, eminence grise to FDR, Vienna-born Jew. A fund-raiser reported trouble with donors over Frankfurter in the spring of 1934, and Mrs. Charles Francis Adams, the wife of Harvard’s former treasurer, “quizzed” Conant “heavily on whether or not Felix Frankfurter was a dangerous communist.” Conant had ample opportunity to polish up what became his standard response to radicalism-at-Harvard complaints: indignant denial that students were taught sedition and appeals to “the glorious tradition of freedom which is our heritage.” When an alumnus wanted to know what the University was doing about indoctrination by New Dealish professors, Conant quickly changed the subject to academic freedom: “democracy is made safe only to the extent that a reasonably tolerant point of view is engendered in the people at large.

Texte intégralRésumé :
John Cyril Smith (1922–2003), a Fellow of the British Academy, was Emeritus Professor of Law at the University of Nottingham where he headed the Law Department for three decades. In 1952–1953, Smith was awarded a Commonwealth Fund Fellowship at Harvard University and became impressed by the casebook method of teaching. The only subject he had taught every year throughout his career was evidence. His deep understanding of the law was apparent in his case commentaries on the subject for the Criminal Law Review, although by the mid-1980s he was handing over many evidence cases to his colleague and former student Diane Birch for commentary. He was a strong advocate of the presumption of innocence, in the form of the principle. It is chiefly for his work on the substantive criminal law that Smith will be long remembered. In addition to his three decades as Head of the Law Department at the University of Nottingham, and all his academic writings, Smith gave considerable time to official committees and other public service work.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The teachers from the Biology Department of the University of Lille have been developing for the last two years, a digitalization program of naturalist collections. This project aims to preserve this scientific heritage and to use it for animal and plant biology teaching. Specimens are digitalized by a photo 3D capture system, that produces a 360° and/or hemispheric images of the objects starting from high-resolution pictures. Based on the use of this particular imaging technology, teachers realized multimedia eBooks and a series of files “at the glance“ for practical works in animal biology for Bachelor students in Life Sciences. These supports, enriched by graphic complements, texts, legends and interactive animations, are available on the pedagogic platform Moodle. These digital tools are viewable on computers and can be handled on smartphones and tablets for a nomad utilisation. Students generally consider these supports useful for learning and they consult these resources before, during and after the practical sessions. This distance-learning approach gives the students a complete autonomy for practical session preparation and reviews. The innovative tools here presented constitute a useful learning complement to classical academic lectures in animal biology.

Plaza José María Planelles, 1. 03590 Altea E-mail: vicente.iborra@ua.es, zaragozasaura@gmail.com Keywords (3-5): Public space, historical urban evolution, tourism phenomena, urbanistic project, educational experience Conference topics and scale: City transformations The town of Altea (Alicante, Spain) has an important urban center that has historically been characterized by two contrasting situations: on one hand, the settlements located on the seaside elevations (Bellaguarda and the Renaissance Bastion) linked to the agricultural uses of the fertile valleys of the rivers Algar and els Arcs, and on the other hand the coastal developments, originally fishery, but nowadays with touristic uses on the maritime front. All these elements configure an urban nucleus that, due to its urban, architectural and landscape qualities, gives rise to one of the main tourist attractions of the region. However, the area described nowadays presents an important problem related to the use and habitability of public space, which is invaded by the presence of the private vehicle, even along the seaside, due to its touristic relevance. This article presents the results of an academic experience developed to study different possibilities of urban transformations for the municipality of Altea, taking as a project site the urban vacuum still conserved between the two situations previously described: the historical areas on the coastal elevations (Dalt) and new urban developments parallel to the seaside (Baix). This academic activity, performed by nearly 50 students from the University of Alicante, was developed in the context of the design course Urbanism 5 during the academic year 2015-16, thanks to the agreement signed between the Municipality of Altea and the University of Alicante.

Texte intégralRésumé :
For the last three summers Lehigh University has sponsored a Research Experience for Undergraduates with support from the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense and Pennsylvania Infrastructure and Technology Alliance. Each year 10–12 rising sophomores were recruited from throughout the US to work with 4–5 graduate students and 2 professors from biological sciences and mechanical engineering. The project’s goal is to create a chemical sensing, mobile robot using a carbon based electronic nose developed by the California Institute of Technology for NASA and principles obtained from observations of the common housefly. To date the project has: developed protocols to train houseflies to approach or avoid a novel chemical stimulus; determined the electronic signature for a pure chemical using principal component analysis; and designed and built chambers for testing the enose and flies. Lab work and lectures are complimented by seminars from professionals in biology, engineering and robotics to expose the students to scientists from research and industry. Assessed by informal interview before and after the project indicated that the students learned basic principles in biology and engineering, and were more likely to enter these fields as a result of their participation in the project.
