Down and Out on the Kaw: An Examination of Emergency Shelters in Lawrence, Kansas.
Homelessness poses an enduring and formidable challenge to 21st-century urban America. My work draws from three years of ethnographic research on the streets and in the social service agencies of Lawrence, Kansas. I formally interviewed 31 people made up of shelter employees, board members, and …

Learning to Change and Changing Learning in Environmental Management: A case study of the Kaw Nature Reserve in French Guiana
… study that focuses on the stakeholders of the Kaw Nature Reserve. This Reserve is eight years old and has been historically beset with conflict. I interviewed a diverse array of stakeholders involved with or affected by the Reserve to determine important themes regarding communication, …

Identifying Signatures of Plasma Waves and Reconnection Associated with Kelvin-Helmholtz Activity
… magnetopause can generate kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) activity. Both magnetic reconnection and plasma wave activity can heat plasma. In this thesis we look for new cases of Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) from Cluster spacecraft data and search for signatures of associated magnetic reconnection …

Preventing Opioid Overdose: From Prediction to Operationalization
The opioid epidemic remains a significant public health challenge in the US. A potential catalyst for reducing the incidence of opioid-related harm is the development and operationalization of risk stratification models. Prior work has focused on the statistical performance of such models without …

Modeling and Computation of Complex Interventions in Large-scale Epidemiological Simulations using SQL and Distributed Database
Scalability is an important problem in epidemiological applications that simulate complex intervention scenarios over large datasets. Indemics is one such interactive data intensive framework for High-performance computing (HPC) based large-scale epidemic simulations. In the Indemics framework, …

Targeting Metabolic Alterations Associated With Smooth Muscle Α-Actin Pathogenic Variant Attenuates Moyamoya-Like Cerebrovascular Disease
<p>Heterozygous pathogenic variants in <em>ACTA2</em>, encoding smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA), predispose to thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections. <em>De novo</em> missense variants disrupting <em>ACTA2 </em>arginine 179 (p.Arg179) cause a multisystemic disease termed smooth muscle dysfunction …

Mechanism of Rare Variant In Acta2, P.Arg149Cys, Driving Diverse Vascular Disease
<p>Heterozygous variants in <em>ACTA2</em> (smooth muscle (SM) α-actin) predispose to thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD) and early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD). The most common <em>ACTA2</em> mutation is a genetic alteration of arginine 149 to a cysteine, <em>ACTA2</em> …
