Small sample multiple testing with application to cDNA microarray data
No full textMany tests have been developed for comparing means in a two-sample scenario.
Microarray experiments lead to thousands of such comparisons in a single study. Several
multiple testing procedures are available to control experiment-wise error or the false
discovery rate. In this dissertation, individual two-sample tests are compared based on
accuracy, correctness, and power. Four multiple testing procedures are compared via
simulation, based on data from the lab of Dr. Rajesh Miranda. The effect of sample size
on power is also carefully examined. The two sample t-test followed by the Benjamini
and Hochberg (1995) false discovery rate controlling procedure result in the highest
power

Assessing the Vasculature Changes in Murine Fetal Brain Upon Alcohol Exposure
No full textFetal Alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) refers to a broad spectrum of abnormalities that arise due to prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). The severity of the abnormality depends on the amount of alcohol consumed and period of consumption during gestation. A large number of women continue to consume alcohol even during the second trimester of pregnancy, a critical period for fetal neurogenesis and angiogenesis. OCT is an optical analog of ultrasound. 3D non-invasive imaging technique with high spatial resolution. OCT has shown to be extremely useful in embryonic imaging. Speckle variance OCT (SVOCT), is a functional extension of OCT that has been used to study vasculature development in embryos. We use SVOCT, to detect vasculature changes in the embryonic brain in utero, minutes after maternal alcohol consumption. The results show that there is a decrease in fetal vessel diameter within the first 10 minutes and it persisted for 45 minutes after maternal alcohol consumption, indicating that ethanol is a possible vasoconstrictor on the fetal brain.

Evaluating changes in murine fetal brain vasculature due to maternal nicotine exposure using in utero optical coherence tomography
No full textNicotine is a commonly used substance of abuse during pregnancy. Previous research has shown that prenatal nicotine exposure (PNE) is harmful to a fetus. PNE is known to cause intrauterine and postnatal growth restriction, decrease in head circumference and biparietal diameter, and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Evidence of negative influences of nicotine on brain development has been seen in humans too. It is unknown whether the relationship between maternal smoking and behavior problems is due to physical brain deficits caused by nicotine. In this study, we use optical coherence tomography (OCT), a noninvasive optical imaging modality with high spatial and temporal resolution to image the changes in fetal brain vasculature caused due to maternal nicotine exposure. We use a functional extension of OCT called correlation mapping optical coherence angiography (cm-OCA) to image microvasculature in the fetal brain, in utero. Pregnant mice at 14.5 days post coitum were anesthetized and placed on a heated surgical platform. Abdominal fur was removed, and a small incision was made to expose the uterine horn for imaging. After initial cm-OCA measurements, the mother was administered nicotine via intragastric gavage, at a dose of 1mg/kg. Subsequent measurements were taken for a period of 45 minutes at 5-minute intervals. A drastic decrease in parameters quantifying vasculature was seen within 45 minutes of maternal nicotine exposure during the second trimester equivalent period.

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
