First person – Avinash Persaud
No full textABSTRACT
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Avinash Persaud is the first author on ‘Dynamin inhibitors block activation of mTORC1 by amino acids independently of dynamin’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Avinash is a research associate in the lab of Daniela Rotin at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, investigating mTORC1 signaling and the function of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4.</jats:p
Of the people, by the people, for the people: in defense of American pop culture, its meaning, and its impact
No full textAmerican pop culture has often been subjected to scorn and ridicule, both at home and abroad, often by those who view it as being immoral or who view it as not being “true” culture. This begs the questions of what exactly are the characteristics of American pop culture, why did it develop along the lines it has, and what are its sociological implications. One can examine the issue by delving into American history, and tracing how American mainstream thought has informed cultural practice. The results of such a study show that the characteristics of American pop culture were directly shaped by the ideals expressed in the American Revolution, and that American pop culture has often been at the heart of a generations-long push towards greater social freedom.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Avinash R.

Isolation and Identification of Crude Triacontanol from Rice Bran Wax
No full textIn present investigation crude triacontanol was isolated and identified from rice bran wax. Triacontanol was isolated by saponification and extraction method. The obtained mixture is crude Triacontanol. It was analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC) and melting point method. Purity of triacontanol was 13.33%. 1Department of Botany, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad (M.S.), India; 2Department of Botany, University of Pune, Pune (M.S.), India* Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Cite This Article As: Sandhya Jaybhay, Pankaj Chate and Avinash Ade. 2010.

3D Visualization Architecture for Building Applications Leveraging an Existing Validated Toolkit
No full textThe diagnostic radiology space and healthcare in general is a slow adopter of new software technologies and patterns. Despite the widespread embrace of mobile technology in recent years, altering the manner in which societies in developed countries live and communicate, diagnostic radiology has not unanimously adopted mobile technology for remote diagnostic review. Desktop applications in the diagnostic radiology space commonly leverage a validated toolkit. Such toolkits not only simplify desktop application development but minimize the scope of application validation. For these reasons, such a toolkit is an important piece of a company’s software portfolio. This thesis investigated an approach for leveraging a Java validated toolkit for the purpose of creating numerous ubiquitous applications for 3D diagnostic radiology. Just as in the desktop application space, leveraging such a toolkit minimizes the scope of ubiquitous application validation. Today, the most standard execution environment in an electronic device is an Internet browser; therefore, a ubiquitous application is web application. This thesis examines an approach where ubiquitous applications can be built using a viewport construct provided by a client-side ubiquitous toolkit that hides the client-server communication between the ubiquitous toolkit and the validated visualization toolkit. Supporting this communication is a Java RESTful web service wrapper around the validated visualization toolkit that essentially “webifies” the validated toolkit. Overall, this ubiquitous viewport is easily included in a ubiquitous application and supports remote visualization and manipulation of volumes on the widest range of electronic devices. Overall, this thesis provided a flexible and scalable approach to developing ubiquitous applications that leverage an existing validated toolkit that utilizes industry standard technologies, patterns, and best practices. This approach is significant because it supports easy ubiquitous application development and minimizes the scope of application validation, and allows medical professionals easy anytime and anywhere access to diagnostic images

Risk - adjusted rates of return for project appraisal
No full textIncorporating risk assessment into public project appraisal makes sense when project risk is significantly correlated with uncertainty about national income. It is especially important in countries that specialize in particular agricultural or resource sectors. This report presents the following conclusions: (a) risk corrections can be substantial; (b) the intuition that risk is great for further investment in a crop or sector that constitutes a large part of a country's GNP is not invalid, but the effect may be offset by other forces in operation; (c) risk corrections can be negative because of a negative correlation between project return and GNP; (d) risk premia vary greatly across countries and sectors - so recognizing the risk correction needed for each project on its own merits makes more sense than including a common general risk premium in the rate of return required for all lending; (e) risk corrections are small for many sectors and countries - so efforts can be concentrated on the other categories, where the proposed treatment of risk makes a big difference; (f) risk affects investment projects in many different, subtle ways; and (g) resource requirements for this are not great.Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Banks&Banking Reform,Statistical&Mathematical Sciences,Crops&Crop Management Systems

Risk-sensitive security-constrained economic dispatch via critical region exploration
No full textA security-constrained economic dispatch (SCED) problem is regularly solved by system operators in electric power networks to make day-ahead and real-time dispatch decisions. Preventive SCED is conservative and requires dispatch decisions that are secure against any single component failure. Corrective (recourse) actions can significantly reduce operational costs. Even with linear power flow models, corrective SCED poses significant computational challenges owing to an increase in the dimensionality arising from additional recourse decisions and the number of contingencies to guard against. This thesis analyzes the benefits of allowing recourse actions for simple networks and tackles the computational challenges of solving the problem at scale through a decomposition of the problem via a critical region exploration technique that exploits the problem structure using properties of multi-parametric linear programming. This thesis concludes with numerical results on various IEEE test networks.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Avinash Madavan, accepted the attached license on 2018-12-12 at 14:34.The student, Avinash Madavan, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-12-12 at 14:39.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-12-12 at 16:06.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13306 on 2019-02-07 at 14:23:29Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-07T20:44:29Z (GMT).
