Targeting epithelial senescence to augment renal repair
… therapies, and new anti-fibrotic therapies to augment post injury repair. Here I demonstrate the persistence of senescent cells in human kidneys during renal repair and show that depletion of senescent cells with a senolytic drug attenuates renal fibrosis in a murine model of reversible …

The Use of Synthetic Platelets to Augment Hemostasis
… hemostatic nanoparticles that augment blood clotting when administered after trauma have been previously shown to half bleeding times in a femoral artery injury model in rats. The aims of the present study were to: 1) Determine their efficacy in a lethal hemorrhagic liver injury …

The Long Augment in Homer: a formula-based approach
… forms were linked to Vedic instances of long augments by part of the relevant literature. Other scholars preferred to explain the Greek instances as inner developments, while others denied any philological validity for the long augment as an actual morpheme, and rather explained its presence …

Using Dependency Parses to Augment Feature Construction for Text Mining
With the prevalence of large data stored in the cloud, including unstructured information in the form of text, there is now an increased emphasis on text mining. A broad range of techniques are now used for text mining, including algorithms adapted from machine learning, NLP, computational …

Developing modern graphite exponential pile experiments to augment reactor physics education
Reactor Physics is not always an intuitive subject for students to understand. When nuclear engineering was beginning as a field it was common for students to complete measurements on sub-critical reactors, which could not sustain a fission chain reaction, in order to develop student intuition. The …

A system approach to augment clinical decision-making using machine learning
… can make to improve their decision making-augmented or not. This thesis includes (a) describing clinical decisions, informed by literature and clinical case studies and (b) reviewing current capabilities of machine methods. This led to (c) a test experiment-how to use data about a …

Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential
… modifications into therapeutic mRNA to augment their expression in cell cultures and mouse models. We began by developing messenger oligonucleotide-conjugated RNAs (mocRNAs), which are mRNAs ligated to modified oligonucleotides that contain 3’ nuclease-resistant modifications. We show …

Aiding the experts: how artificial intelligence can augment expert evaluation with PathOS+
Within games user research (GUR) predictive methods like expert evaluation are good for getting easy insights on a game in development but may not accurately reflect the player experience. On the other hand, experimental methods like playtesting can accurately capture the player experience but are …

Practical techniques to augment dependence analysis in the presence of symbolic terms
Dependence analysis is an indispensable tool in the automatic vectorization and parallelization of sequential programs, but performing symbolic dependence analysis can be costly and may fail to resolve many unknown terms. In this thesis, we explore ways to overcome the problems symbolic terms …

VDDM: A Value-Driven Decision Model to Augment Value-Focused Thinking Methodology
<p>Decision-making is a fundamental human behavior. Most scientific research on Decision-making focuses on alternatives: their evaluation, the psychological mechanisms framing the evaluation, and the dynamics of human interaction around alternatives. Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) offers a paradigm …

High MUC2 Biosynthesis and Production Augment Pro-Inflammatory Responses in Colonic Goblet Cells
Goblet cells are specialized secretory epithelial cells whose primary function is to secrete mucins into the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract to form the mucus layer, which acts as a physical barrier separating luminal contents from the underlying epithelium. During amoebiasis, caused by the …

Design of a quasi-passive parallel leg exoskeleton to augment load carrying for walking
Biomechanical experiments suggest that it may be possible to build a leg exoskeleton to reduce the metabolic cost of walking while carrying a load. A quasi-passive, leg exoskeleton is presented that is designed to assist the human in carrying a 75 lb payload. The exoskeleton structure runs parallel …

Design of a high torque, lightweight clutch for use in an exoskeleton to augment human running
The metabolic augmentation of human locomotion though the use of wearable exoskeletons is a complex and difficult goal. One exoskeleton architecture adds parallel elasticity to the user during stance phase to unload the user's muscles and joints. Critical to this design is the creation of a …
