Data Exchange in Geotechnical Engineering
Mon, Aug 09, 2010 @ 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Oral Defense by: Nazila Mokarram, Ph.D. Candidate, Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, USCAbstract:Although geotechnical information is obtained from rather costly drilling and laboratory operations, they are poorly documented and curated, due to lack of adoptable standards for data handling. This study develops a requirement list for data exchange format based on the advantages and shortcomings of past efforts and the community specific needs. After careful analysis of geotechnical data, an XML-based data organization is proposed. Then the proposed format is used in examples of data generation and modification, data validation, data exchange, and archive and distribution via World Wide Web. To show the improvements of the new data exchange format over the previous formats, the proposed data format is evaluated by comparing its capabilities with the requirement list developed early in the study. At the end, metadata modeling is proposed as an added layer over data exchange for future work.

USC PSOC Monthly Seminar Series - Dr. Sanjay Kumar
Fri, Aug 13, 2010 @ 11:45 AM - 01:00 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Sanjay Kumar, M.D., Ph.D., UC BerkeleyAssistant Professor, Department of Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley; Faculty Scientist, Physical Bios-ciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; UCSF/UCB Joint Graduate Group in Bioengineering, UCB Graduate Groups in Biophysics and Nanoscale Science & Engineering Physical Microenvironmental Regulation of Tumor and Stem Cell Biology in the Central Nervous System"Physical Microenvironmental Regulation of Tumor and Stem Cell Biology in the Central Nervous System"Abstract:
One of the most exciting breakthroughs in cell biology over the past decade is the recognition that micromechanical inputs to cells from the solid-state extracellular matrix (ECM), such as those encoded in ECM geometry, topography, and elasticity, can influence cell and tissue physiology and pathology in profound and specific ways. This connection between mechanics and biology (mechanobiology) bears direct relevance to the pathogenesis of diseases of the nervous system in which cells alter their structure, motility, or compliance, including neuronal and glial tumors and neurodegenerative disorders, and suggests that specific cell behaviors may be engineered by directly manipulating the underlying molecular systems. I will discuss efforts my colleagues and I have taken to harness the potential of mechanobiological crosstalk between cells and the ECM to understand and manipulate tumor and stem cell biology in the nervous system. I will describe studies in which we elucidate the role of physical cues from the ECM in driving cell structure, cytoskeletal organization, cell migration, and proliferation in malignant brain tumors. I will also discuss our efforts to engineer the differentiation trajectories of neural stem cells by manipulating the biophysical properties of the ECM and the mechanotransductive signaling pathways that enable cells to mechanically communicate with the ECM.Hosted by: Center for Applied Molecular Medicine.
